I used to believe in the American Dream, which meant a job, a mortgage(按揭), credit cards,
success. I wanted it and worked toward it like everyone else, all of us 36 chasing the same
thing.
One year, through a series of unhappy events, it all fell 37 . I found myself homeless and
alone. I had my truck and $56. I 38 the countryside for some place I could rent for the 39
possible amount. I came upon a shabby house four miles up a winding mountain road 40 the
Potomac River in West Virginia. It was 41 , full of broken glass and rubbish. I found the
owner, rented it, and 42 a corner to camp in.
The locals knew nothing about me, 43 slowly, they started teaching me the 44 of
being a neighbor. They dropped off blankets, candles, and tools, and began 45 around to chat.
They started to teach me a belief in a 46 American Dream—not the one of individual
achievement but of 47 .
What I had believed in, all those things I thought were 48 for a civilized life, were
nonexistent in this place. 49 on the mountain, my most valuable possessions were my 50
with my neighbors.
Four years later, I moved back into 51 . I saw many people were having a really hard time,
52 their jobs and homes. I managed to rent a big enough house to 53 a handful of people.
There are four of us now in the house, but over time I’ve had nine people come in and move on to
other places. We’d all be in 54 if we hadn’t banded together.
The American Dream I believe in now is a shared one. It’s not so much about what I can get
for myself; it’s about 55 we can all get by together.
36. A. separately B. equally C. violently D. naturally
37. A. off B. apart C. over D. out
38. A. crossed B. left C. toured D. searched

44. A. benefit B. lesson C. nature D. art
45. A. sticking B. looking C. swinging D. turning
46. A. wild B. real C. different D. remote
47. A. neighborliness B. happiness C. friendliness D. kindness

A
Pete took his seat this day on his usual bench in Union Square. Every Thanksgiving Day for
nine years Pete had taken the same seat exactly at one o’clock, and each time the same pleasant
thing had happened. But this time Pete had come here more from habit than from hunger.
Certainly today Pete was not hungry. Two rich old ladies gave him a Thanksgiving dinner of
everything he could eat.
Pete sat on the bench now, hardly able to move. The buttons on his ragged shirt and coat
were about to burst. The November breeze and the first light fall of snow felt cool and pleasant to
his face. He happened to look to the left and there in the distance he saw the Old Gentleman
coming toward him. He wanted to get up and run, but he was so full of food that he stayed right
there. Every Thanksgiving Day for nine years, the Old Gentleman had come there, found Pete on
the same bench, and then taken him to a restaurant and bought him a Thanksgiving dinner. It was
a kind of tradition which the Old Gentleman, who had no family and lived alone, had tried to
continue.
“How do you do? “ said the Old Gentleman. “Glad to see that the changes of another year
have permitted you to move in health through this beautiful world.”
Each time the Old Gentleman had said exactly the same thing. It was part of the tradition.
Pete, too, began to feel as though he himself was now a part of the tradition, and he therefore did
not have the courage to tell the old man that he had already eaten. This dinner seemed to mean so
much to the Old Gentleman.
“Thank you, sir,” said Pete at last. “I’ll go with you gladly. I’m very hungry, sir.”Together
the Old Gentleman and Pete walked south to the same restaurant where each year Pete had his
Thanksgiving dinner. The Old Gentleman seemed pleased and happy. When the waiter brought
dish after dish of food to Pete, the Old Gentleman sat quietly and smiled. Under the circumstances,
Pete had to eat. It was part of the tradition, and so he ate like a hero, although when he entered the
restaurant even the smell of food almost made him sick. At last Pete leaned back with the battle
won.
“Thank you, sir,” he said, with some effort, “for a fine dinner.”
They parted as they did each year at the door, the Old Gentlemen going south, Pete north.
Around the corner, Pete stopped for a moment, felt a terrible pain in his stomach, and then
fell to the sidewalk unconscious. A little time later an ambulance came. In the hospital they
discovered that he had had an attack of indigestion(消化不良).
An hour later, another ambulance brought the Old Gentleman to the same hospital. At first
they thought it was also indigestion but later one of the nurses said, “That nice old gentleman over
there-you wouldn’t think that it was a case of hunger.”
56. Where did Pete and the Old Gentleman meet every Thanksgiving Day?
A. In the restaurant.
B. In Union Square.
C. At the Old Gentleman’s house.
D. At the hospital. ____________________________________________________________________________________________
57. Which of the following sentences in the passage doesn’t show Pete was full?
A. Pete sat on the bench now, hardly able to move.
B. The buttons on his ragged shirt and coat were about to burst.
C. Glad to see that the changes of another year have permitted you to move in health through this
beautiful world.
D. When he entered the restaurant even the smell of food almost made him sick.
58. The underlined sentence “I’m very hungry, sir.”in Paragraph 5 implies that______.
A. Pete didn’t have the heart to refuse the offer
B. Pete was so greedy that he wanted to have another dinner
C. Pete was suffering from hunger
D. Pete enjoyed having the Thanksgiving dinner for free
59. Which of the following words can best describe the Old Gentleman?
A. Self-centred. B. Modest. C. Stubborn. D. Generous.
B
Japanese people, who never miss a chance to be photographed, were lining up to get their
pictures on a postage stamp. Vanity (虚荣)stamps with personal photographs went on sale for the
first time in Japan as part of an international postage stamp exhibition. The customer’s photo was
taken with a digital camera and then printed on stamp sheets, a process that takes about five
minutes. Sold in a sheet of 10 stamps for $8. 80, little more than the cost of lunch in Tokyo, each
stamp printed a different scene from a traditional painting along with the photo.
The stamps can be used normally to mail a letter, and postal officials hope they will help
encourage interest in letter writing in the Internet age. “Certainly e-mail is a useful method of
communication, but letters are fun in a different way,” said Hatsumi Shimizu, an official in the
Post Ministry. “We want to show young people that letters can be fun too.”
While similar stamp sheets appeared in Australia in 1999 and are now sold in some nations
and territories, Japan’s fondness for commemorative photos is likely to make them especially
popular here. Indeed, officials had prepared 1 000 sheets but they were sold out in less than 30
minutes. Although the stamps are currently only available as a special service during the
exhibition, postal officials said they may start selling them on a regular basis in the future.
60. The best title of this passage might be______.
A. Never Miss a Chance to be Photographed
B. Your Own Face on a Postage Stamp
C. First Japanese Postage Stamps with a Photo
D. Letters and E-mails
61. By saying “little more than the cost of lunch in Tokyo”, the author really means______.
A. this service is not very expensive
B. the cost of this service is very high
C. food in Tokyo is very dear
D. $8. 80 is a very small amount of money
62. The purpose of this activity is______.
A. to make the international postage stamp exhibition more interesting
B. to make more stamps for normal use
C. to draw interest in writing letters
D. to satisfy Japan’s fondness of commemorative photos ____________________________________________________________________________________________
63. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Japanese people like to take photos.
B. This kind of stamps must be used to mail letters.
C. Japanese people can get this kind of stamps easily after the stamp exhibition.
D. This service is more popular in Japan than in other places.
C
In the middle of winter , when snow is falling in many parts of the United States, scientists
have sounded a warning to people who plan to spend many hours in the sun this summer. The
warning: The sun’s summertime rays are more dangerous than once thought.
A team of scientists from 80 nations recently reported to the United Nations that a layer of
ozone (臭氧层)in the atmosphere, which protects humans from harmful levels of ultraviolet (紫外
线)radiation, will be thinner over the United States this summer. The thinner layer allows more
ultraviolet rays from the sun to reach Earth. The extra amount of ultraviolet radiation could cause
an increase in the number of cases of skin cancer.
Scientists first became concerned about the layer in the mid-1980s when a hole was
discovered in the layer above Antarctica during the winter. The hole was caused in chemicals used
in refrigerators and air conditioners. When these chemicals are sent out into the atmosphere, they
produce gases that destroy the ozone.
Concern about the protective ozone layer rose more recently when data from satellites and
ground stations showed that ozone levels were dropping over areas other than Antarctica. Low
ozone levels were recorded in the spring and summer over the United States and over other
populated areas in the world.
Although many countries have already begun stopping the use of ozone-destroying chemicals,
the new findings are expected to advance the timetable for a total ban of the chemicals.
64. The scientists have observed the ozone layer______.
A. since 1980
B. since last winter
C. for more than 20 years
D. for about one year
65. The ozone layer in the atmosphere can______.
A. do a lot of good to human beings in many ways
B. protect humans from diseases caused by bad weather
C. do a lot of harm to human beings in the summertime
D. protect humans from harmful levels of ultraviolet radiation
66. Scientists first found that there was a hole in the ozone layer______.
A. above Arctic during the winter in the mid-1980s
B. above Antarctica during the winter in the mid-1980s
C. over somewhere in the north of the equator in 1980
D. over the USA in the summertime in the mid-1980s
67. The damage to the ozone layer was caused by______.
A. the changeable weather
B. ozone-destroying chemicals
C. chemicals from refrigerators
D. chemicals from air conditioners____________________________________________________________________________________________

If you walk slowly through downtown Helsinki during the day, taking in the splendid 19th
century buildings, white boats and noise of passing trams (有轨电车), you will start to understand
why it is called a city of two colors: white and blue.
The sea is always present in Helsinki. When you take a walk over the great open space of the
central square, you will hear seabirds screaming. When you take the tram, suddenly and
unexpectedly, you are faced with a calm, shining blue sea. You may notice that people in Helsinki
do not rush about as in other cities. Instead, they walk along the roads, politely letting other people
go by.
A usual way to see Helsinki for the first time is to start out by boat. You will walk by the
elderly women selling fish and vegetables in the market square and find yourself in front of a
beautiful park. You may enjoy a pleasant walk in the park for a few hours and then take the tram.
Trams are the perfect way to get around in Helsinki. Watching the old houses, parks, theatres,
churches, shops, restaurants and people in the streets, you may have a slightly sad film feeling to
it.
The pale summer nights are another wonder in the city. Following the waterfront (滨水区)of
the city after sunset, you couldn’t help stopping and listening to the sweet silence, interrupted only
by the screaming seabirds and leaving fishing boats.
However, in some way. Helsinki is also the most modern city in northern Europe. You will
surely want to visit the white Glass Palace, the modern art museum, and all those extremely
popular cafes and design stores.
68. Helsinki is called a city of two colors mainly because of the colors of its______.
A. 19th century white buildings and boats
B. 19th century buildings and passing trams
C. white roads and blue trams
D. old buildings, boats and the sea
69. The best way to see most of Helsinki is to go______.
A. by boat B. by bus C. by tram D. on foot
70. The 19th century buildings, the white Glass Palace and all those popular cafes and design
shops show that Helsinki is______.
A. both western and eastern
B. both quiet and noisy
C. both historical and modern
D. both old and new

Quiet Virtue: The Conscientious
The everyday signs of conscientiousness(认真尽责) —being punctual, careful in doing work,
self-disciplined, and scrupulous(一丝不苟的) in attending to responsibilities—are typical
characteristics of the model organizational citizen, the people who keep things running as they
should. They follow the rules, help out, and are concerned about the people they work with. It’s
the conscientious worker who helps newcomers or updates people who return after an absence,
who gets to work on time and never abuses sick leaves, who always gets things done on deadline.
Conscientiousness is a key to success in any field. In studies of job performance, outstanding ____________________________________________________________________________________________
effectiveness for almost all jobs, from semi-skilled labor to sales and management, depends on
conscientiousness. It is particularly important for outstanding performance in jobs at the lower
levels of an organization: the secretary whose message taking is perfect, the delivery truck driver
who is always on time.
Among sales representatives for a large American car manufacturer, those who were most
conscientious had the largest volume of sales. Conscientiousness also offers a buffer(缓冲) against
the threat of job loss in today’s constantly changing market, because employees with this quality
are among the most valued. For the sales representatives, their level of conscientiousness mattered
almost as much as their sales in determining who stayed on.
There is an air around highly conscientious people that makes them seem even better than
they actually are. Their reputation for dependability influences managers’ evaluations of their
work, giving them higher evaluations than objective measures of their performance would predict.
But conscientiousness in the absence of social skills can lead to problems. Since
conscientious people demand so much of themselves, they can hold other people to their own
standards, and so be overly judgmental when others don’t show the same high levels of model
behavior. Factory workers in Great Britain and the United States who were extremely
conscientious, for example, tended to criticize co-workers even about failures that seemed
unimportant to those they criticized, which damaged their relationships.
When conscientiousness takes the form of living up to expectations, it can discourage
creativity. In creative professions like art or advertising, openness to wild ideas and
spontaneity(自发性) are scarce and in demand. Success in such occupations calls for a balance,
however; without enough conscientiousness to follow through, people become mere dreamers,
with nothing to show for their imaginativeness.

In the picture the wooden bucket isn’t full just because of one short piece of wood. It is the short
piece that stands for writing skill in English study, and I can’t help thinking of my failure in ____________________________________________________________________________________________
English exams as a result of being unable to write well. It is true that to be full we should lengthen
the short piece. To perform well in exams, try to overcome your shortcoming of poor writing. In
fact, listening doesn’t equal English study, nor does reading, nor does speaking, but they are
regarded as a whole. If so, you will make your brightness clear. Otherwise, you will feel sorry for
a single unsatisfaction. What’s worse, the ability that we have is sure to be changed into a
disability.
