It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like ‘I was wrong about that.’ and it is even harder to say “I was wrong, but you were right about that.” I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago. He told me he had been the manager of a certain grocery store in the neighborhood where I grew up and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons （纸板盒）. Then he related an incident and I began to remember vaguely（模糊地） the incident he was describing. I was about eight years old at the time, and I had gone into the store with mother to do the weekly grocery shopping. On that particular day, I must have found my way to the dairy food department where the incident took place. There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was an impressive display of eggs in dozen and half dozen cartons. The cartons were stacked（堆放） three or four feet high. I must have stopped in front of a display to admire the stacks. Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the stacks of cartons. For some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the display back together, so I went to work. The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, I was on my knees inspecting some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken. But to him it looked as though I had done it. He severely criticized me and wanted me to pay any broken eggs. I protested my innocence and tried to explain, but it did no good. Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident, apparently the manager did not. 56. How old was the author when he wrote this article? A. About 8 B. About 18. C. About 23. D. About 15 57. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. The woman who knocked off the stacks of cartons was seriously criticized by the manager. B. The author was severely criticized by the manager. C. A woman carelessly knocked off the stacks of cartons. D. It was the author who put the display back together. 58. The tone of the article expressed the author’s _________. A. admiration for the manager’s willingness to admit mistakes B. anger to the manager for his wrong accusation.（指责，谴责） C. indignation against the woman who knocked off the stacks of cartons D. regret for the mistake he made in the store. B TAIBEI—Increasing numbers of Taiwanese students are joining the island’s “China rush”， seeking education on the Chinese mainland. According to official Chinese figures, the number of Taiwanese students admitted into college and postgraduate programmes on the mainland totaled 4610 in xx, 9280 in xx and 18390 in xx. Although no latest official numbers were available, Netbig said this number had risen between 30 to 50per cent annually in the past two years with well over 1,000 entering mainland campuses last year. The Internet site, based in the Chinese city of Shenzhen, provides education service and information on Chinese mainland colleges and universities, “Many Taiwanese believe a Chinese education giving more knowledge about the people and culture in the mainland will increase their chances in the Chinese job market.”Nitbig vi e-president Ingrid Huang said. “I believe it will give me hands-on experience in the business field in the Chinese mainland and a better understanding of the Chinese mainland people.” said Lydia Chang , a 19-year-old majoring in journalism at Shih Shin University. Chang plans to go on to get a master’s degree in business administration in Shanghai, which she says offers the best environment for such studies. A journalism graduate student, surnamed Lin, at the National Taiwan University said he would like to study law on the Chinese mainland since “there will be better career prospects（前景）for me now that more Taiwanese panies are going there。” Some business executives were sending their children to study in the Chinese mainland. “They hope the children could build up connections which could later bee useful in their business operations,” said Yang Ching-yao, professor of the Chinese mainland studies. A netbig survey showed the campuses favoured by Taiwanese students included Beijing, Qinghua and Renmin universities in Beijing, and Jinan and Zhongshan universities in Guangzhou. The most popular studies were law, business and Chinese medicine. At present, Chinese Taibei doesn’t recognize diplomas earned in the Chinese mainland nor help with any inquiries（咨询）about studying there. But recognizing the trend, education authorities are giving a final form to a policy accepting certificates from selected universities. 59. More Taiwanese students study on the Chinese mainland because . A. Taiwan will reunite with the mainland sooner or later B. the fees asked for are lower than those of Taiwan C. what they have learned on the mainland will bring them a bright future D. there are many famous universities for them to choose 60. Some business executives were sending their children to study in the Chinese mainland so that their children . A. could receive better education B. could learn more about the policy there C. could do better in their business operations later D. could make mode friends there 61. The main idea of paragraph 4 is . A. law in the Chinese mainland is pleasant to learn B. Taiwanese panies are ing to the Chinese mainland because the law there is perfect C. more Taiwanese panies’ ing to the mainland makes it better to learn laws D. the mainland is short of lawyers for the Taiwanese panies 62. The author wrote the article to tell us A. the number of Taiwanese students going to universities had been increasing year after year B. more Taiwanese students are studying on the mainland C. education on the mainland is more attractive pared with that of Taiwan D. Taiwan and the mainland should cooperate with each other in every field C Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between “ being a writer” and “ writing”. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a puter. “You’ve got to want to write,” I say to them, “ not want to be a writer.” The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the US Coast Guard to bee a free writer, I had no promise at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used puter and felt a real writer. After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I know I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering. What if? I would keep putting my dream to the test--- even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the Shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there. 63. The passage is meant to _______. A. warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience B. advise young people to give up their idea of being a professional writer C. show young people it’s unrealistic for a writer to be after wealth and fame D. encourage young people to be after a writer career 64. What can be concluded from the passage? Ａ.Real writers often find their work interesting and rewarding. B. Writer’s success depends on luck rather than on effort. C. Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.（隔离） D. The chances for a writer to bee successful are small. 65. Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career? A. He wasn’t able to produce a single book. B. He hadn’t seen a change for the better. C. He wasn’t able to have a rest for a whole year. D. He found his dream would never e true. 66. The underlined words＂．．．people who die wondering, “What if?” refer to “those ___” A. who think too much of the dark side of life B. who regret giving up their career halfway C. who think a lot without making a decision D. who are full of imagination even upon death D Not so long ago almost student who successfully pleted a university degree could find a good career quite easily. However, those days are gone, even in Hong Kong, and nowadays graduates often face strong petition in the search for jobs. Job seekers first have to make a careful assessment of their own abilities. One area of assessment should be of their academic qualifications, which would include special skills within their subject area. Graduates should also consider their own personal values and attitudes, or the relative importance to themselves of such matters as money, security, leadership and caring for others. The second stage is to study the opportunities available for employment. Job application forms and letters should, of course, be filled in carefully and correctly, without grammar or spelling errors. When graduates are asked to attend for interview, they should prepare properly by finding out all they can about the prospective employer. Dressing suitably and arriving for the interview on time are also obviously important. Interviewees should try to give positive and helpful answers and should not be afraid to ask questions about anything they are unsure about. This is much better than pretending to understand a question and giving an unsuitable answer. It is true that it is hard to find a good job. But there will always be good career opportunities for people with ability, skills and determination; the secret to securing good jobs in to be one of them. 67. Which of the following statements is true? A. There is nothing we can do to find a good job nowadays B. To find out what jobs are available is totally impossible C. To find a job is much more difficult than before D. The education you receive has nothing to do with job-hunting 68. The word “prospective” is closest in meaning to . A. ambiguous B. reasonable C. ambitious D. potential 69. In Paragraph 5, the writer seems to suggest that . A. interviewees should ask a question if they can’t think of an answer B. it is better for interviewees to be honest than to pretend to understand C. it is not a good idea for interviewees to pletely honest in their answers D. pretending to understand a question is better than giving an unsuitable answer 70. What is the most possible title of the passage? A. Difficulties in job hunting B. Hard to find a good job? C. How to attend an interview? D. What is job hunting? 第二节：（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Only a few weeks ago, they were waiting for their exam results.

The topic of my speech today is “Being a Good Listener”. Good listening can always show respect, promote understanding, and improve interpersonal relationship. Many people suggest that parents should listen more to their children, so they will understand them better, and find it easy to narrow the generation gap; teachers should listen more to their students, then they can meet their needs better, and place themselves in a good relationship with their students; students should listen more to their classmates, thus they will help and learn from each other, and a friendship is likely to be formed. Be open-minded to different opinions even though you don’t like them. In a word, good listening can really enable us to get closer to each other. Thank you for your listening!
