选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
(A )
Frank Woolworth was born in Rodman, New York., in 1852.
His family were very poor farmers, and there was never enough
to eat. Frank decided he did not want to be farmer. He took a
short business course, and went to work as a salesman in a large
city.
Woolworth realized he had a natural skill for showing goods
to attract people’s interest, but he soon learned something more
important. One day his boss told him to sell some odds and ends
(小商品 ) for as much as he could get. Frank put all these things
on one table with a sign which said FIVE CENTS EACH. People
fought and pushed to buy the things and the table was soon
cleared.
Soon afterwards, Woolworth opened his own store., selling
goods at five and ten cents. But he had another lesson to learn
before he became successful. That is, if you want to make money
by selling low-price goods, you have to buy them in large
quantities directly form the factories. Once, for example,
Woolworth went to Germany and placed an order for knives. The
order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a
day for a whole year. In this way, the price of the knives was cut
down by half.
By 1919, Woolworth had over 1000 stores in the US and
Canada, and opened his first store in London. He made many
millions and his name became famous throughout the world. He
always run his business according to strict rules, of which the
most important was: “ THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT.”

A. earn more money for his family
B. learn something from a salesman
C. get away from the farm
D. get enough to eat.
62. Frank sold the odds and ends quickly because
_____________.
A. he knew how to get people to buy his goods.
B. he cut down the price by half
C. he had put the goods on a table in a very nice way.
D. the sign he put on the table was well designed.
63. The price of the knives was cut down by half because
______________.
A. the factory workers worked 24 hours a day.
B. knives were ordered in large quantities directly from the
factory.
C. the knives were made in Germany, where labour (劳动力)
was cheap.
D. the knives were produced in one factory.
64. _____________ make Woolworth a world-famous man.
A. His business skills and his wealth.
B. The low price of the goods he sold.
C. His trip to Germany and his huge order of knives.
D. His natural skill for showing things.
65. The belief that : “ The customer is always right” suggests that
_______________.
A. whenever there is a quarrel between the customer and shop
assistant, the customers are always right.
B. If you want to succeed, the rule is the only way.
C. stores must always follow the customer’s orders if they
want to make more money.
D. stores should do their best to meet the customer’s needs if
they want to be successful.
( B )
About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness
in some way. Women are luckier; only about one in two hundred
is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven
by a woman!
There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a
man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red,
orange and yellow are all shadows of green. Sometimes a person
cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an
unlucky man may see everything in shades of green - a strange
world indeed.
Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain.
In a single eye there are millions of very small things called
“cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell
difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods”, but
these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us
shape but no color.
Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes prefer blue to
yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In
a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are
lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many
beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see
shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the
invisible colors around us.
66. The passage is mainly about _____________.
A. color and its surprising effects.
B. women being luckier than men
C. danger caused by color blindness
D. color blindness
67. According to the passage, with the help of the “cones”, we
can_______________.
A. tell different shapes B. see in a weak light
C. kill mosquitoes D. tell orange from yellow
68. Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women?
A. Women are more careful.
B. There are fewer color-blind women
C. Women are fonder of driving than men.
D. Women are weaker but quicker in thinking.
69. Which of the statements about the color- blind is true?
A. Not all of them have the same problem in recognizing
color.
B. None of them can see deep red.
C. None of them can tell the difference between blue and
green.
D. All of them see everything in shades of green.
70. We can attract and kill mosquitoes by using a
_____________.
A. red light B. yellow light C. blue light D. green light
( C )
Rome had the Forum (论坛). London has Speaker’s Corner.
Now always-on-the-go New Yorkers have Liz and Bill.
Liz and Bill, two college graduates in their early 20s, have
spent a whole year trying to have thousands of people talk to
them in subway stations and on busy street comers. And just talk.
Using a 2-foot-tall sign that says, “ Talk to Me,” they attract
conversationalists, who one evening included a mental patient,
and men in business suits.
They don’t collect money. They don’t push religion (宗教).
So what’s the point?
“ To see what happens,” said Liz. “ We simply enjoy life with
open talk.”
Shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks, they decided to
walk from New York City to Washington, a 270-mile trip. They
found they loved talking to people along the way and wanted to
continue talking with strangers after their return.
“ It started as a crazy idea.” Liz said. “ We were so curious
about all the strangers walking by with their life stories. People
will talk to us about anything: their job, their clothes, their
childhood experiences, anything.”
Denise wanted to talk about an exam she was about to take.
She had stopped by for the second time in two days, to let the two
listeners know how it went.
Marcia had led her husband to a serious disease. “That was
very heavy on my mind.” Marcia said. “ To be able to talk about
it to total strangers was very good,” she explained.
To celebrate a year of talking, the two held a get-together in a
city park for all the people they had met over the past year. A few
hundred people appeared, as well as some television cameramen
and reporters.
They may plan more parties or try to attract more people to
join their informal talks. Some publishers have expressed interest
in a book, something the two say they’ll consider before making
a decision.
71. What did Liz and Bill determined to do after the attack on
September 11, 2001?
A. Telling stories to strangers. B. Setting up street signs.
C. Talking with people D. Organizing a speaker’s
party.
72. What they have been doing can be described as
____________.
A. pointless (无意义的) B. normal( 正常的)
C. crazy D. successful
73. Why are Denise and Marcia mentioned in the text?
A. They knew Liz and Bill very well.
B. They happened to meet the writer of the text.
C. They organized the get-together in the city park.
D. They are examples of those who talked to Liz and Bill.
74. What will Liz and Bill do in the future?
A. Go in for publishing B. Do more television programs.
C. Continue what they are doing
D. Spend more time reading books.
75. How do they like the idea of writing a book?
A. They have decided to wait a year or two.
B. They will think about it carefully
C. They agreed immediately D. They find it hard to do that.

书面表达答案:
October 6th Wednesday Cloudy
I’m back home after a three-day tour. On October 3rd during
the long term of National Holidays, my friends and I made a trip
to Jiulongshan Nature Park to have sightseeing. We took the
Yellow Tourist Express there, which was convenient and
comfortable, with special room for our baggage.
While touring there, we were drunk with the beauty of the
scenic spots, such as the blue lake of Baihebao Reservoir, the
various trees and flowers around the mountains, the Great Wall
and even with the pleasant fresh air there.
On the third day we returned. Each of us was deeply
impressed by what we’d seen. Yet we were touched by the
pollution at some spots, and the litter thrown about by some
tourists.
