阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑.
A
I woke up late and had breakfast in a hurry. I had never been late and didn’t want my boss to be unsatisfied.
However, it seemed that day wasn’t a lucky one for me from the very second I left my flat. The moment I wanted to rush downstairs one of my stiletto heels (细高跟) broke. I had to return to change my red shoes. I also had to change my purse and other little things that I had tried to match with the shoes. I was sure I would be late for work.
On my way to work I had to wait for over half an hour because of an accident. I had no choice but to wait. I phoned my boss and he told me that it was no problem, but he needed me for the meeting with the Japanese clients (客户) that morning.
Finally, I arrived at the office one hour later. I had to keep calm and be fresh for the meeting to make the clients sure that our plan was the best for their future commercial (商业的) project. However, I left the plan I had made the night before at home and was going to present (介绍) it to the clients. I was about to get angry when I realized that I had a draft (草稿) of it in my office.
At last, the presentation came to an end and it turned out to be a success. But I have to say that I had a terrible day, full of incidents (事件).
21. Which of the following is NOT the reason of the writer being late for her work?
A. She got up late in the morning. B. She changed her purse and other little things.

24. According to the passage, which is the correct order of the following events?
a. She presented the plan to the clients.
14
b. One of her stiletto heels broke.
c. She arrived at the office.
d. She phoned her boss.

A. Failure is the mother of success. B. A good beginning makes a good ending.

Tourism wasn’t as important as it is today. In the past, only people with a good deal of money could travel on holidays to other countries. More people travel today than in the past because there is a growing middle class in many parts of the world; that is to say, people now have more money for travel. Special plane fares(费用) for tourists make travel less expensive and more attractive than ever before. One person doesn’t travel for the same reason as another. But most people enjoy seeing countries that are different from their own. They also like to meet new people and to taste new food.
Tourism causes many changes in a country and in people’s lives. People build new hotels and restaurants and train native men and women as guides to show visitors interesting places. There’re new nightclubs and other amusements. International tourism is clearly a big business.
26. In the old days _________ could travel to other countries.
A. boys and girls, men or women, young or old
B. either kings or queens
C. both the poor and the rich
D. nobody but those who had money
27. More people travel today than in the past because______________.
A. people have become interested in traveling
B. traveling today is easier the in the past
C. people now have spare money for travel
D. great changes have taken place in the world
28. What makes travel more attractive than before?
14
A. Travel by air to other countries is much cheaper today.
B. More guides are being trained to show beautiful spots.
C. Modern telegraph lines make travel less expensive.
D. New hotels and restaurants have been built.
29. Which of the following statements is true according to the article?
A. Tourism won’t bring any changes in people’s minds.
B. People have some trouble in making journey.
C. With the development of tourism, great changes have taken place in many parts in the world.
D. Tourism causes only some changes in clothing.
30. What is the best title of the passage?
A. The Change of Tourism B. Tourism
C. The Importance of Tourism D. The Cause of Tourism Change
C
The other day I heard a few local musicians talking, "I hate all the pianos in this town and I hate that rubbish they play on the radio. They cannot even understand rhythm (韵律).""Nobody wants to pay musicians anything. I’m sick of all the people who want you to play without paying you.” One younger musician said, "There are a couple of clubs who want me to play for a few nights a month, and I’m trying to find other places to play. I’m also planning to join in several
summer festivals this year." I really liked what the younger musician said so I made friends with him.
Attitudes are important. Whether they’re positive or negative (消极的), they’re all rubbing off on you. If you’re around people who are always complaining(抱怨) or blaming (责备) others, it is possible that you will start doing the same as well. If you spend lots of time with people who don’t support your dreams, it is time to take a look at the people you call "friends".
There is an easy exercise you can try. Make a list of the people who you often stay with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. Set a new standard for yourself and don’t become friends with people who fall below that standard. The choice is always yours to make. Of course, this exercise is entirely different from making friends only
14
for the good of oneself. We really should try to help and spend time with those who are working towards a goal or dream.
31. The musicians’ conversation at the beginning is to show that ______.
A. musicians’ living conditions are not good
B. people in that town have poor taste in music
C. different people have different attitudes
D. young people are more likely to succeed
32. The underlined part "they’re rubbing off on you" in Paragraph 2 means ______.
A. they’ll push you ahead B. they’ll have an influence on you
C. they’ll keep you from moving on D. they’ll help you realize your dreams
33. Why did the author want to make friends with the younger musician?
A. He is more active than the others.
B. He can earn more than the others.
C. He has more things to do than the others.
D. His attitude is more positive than the others.
34. By doing the exercise mentioned in Paragraph 3, you can ______.
A. make the right kind of friends
B. improve your ability to make friends
C. develop a better relationship with your friends
D. make some new friends with the same interests as you
35. We can get the following information from the passage EXCEPT ______.
A. the younger musician is a positive person and would be a good friend
B. one will start complaining if one spends too much time with negative people
C. the exercise can help you keep close to really helpful friends
D. one should avoid making friends with people who have lots of difficulties
