2.BOpen Letter to an EditorI had an interesting conversation with a reporter recently---one who works for you. In fact, he's one of your best reporters. He wants to leave.Your reporter gave me a copy of his resume (简历) and photocopies of six stories that he wrote for you. The headlines showed you played them proudly. With great enthusiasm, he talked about how he finds issues (问题), approaches them, and writes about them, which tells me he is one of your best. I'm sure you would hate to lose him. Surprisingly, your reporter is not unhappy. In fact, he told me he really likes his job. He has a great assignment (分工), and said you run a great paper. It would be easy for you to keep him, he said. He knows that the paper values him. He appreciates the responsibility you've given him, takes ownership of his profession, and enjoys his freedom.So why is he looking for a way out?He talked to me because he wants his editors to demand so much more of him. He wants to be pushed, challenged, coached to new heights.The reporter believes that good stories spring from good questions, but his editors usually ask how long the story will be, when it will be in, where it can play, and what the budget is.He longs for conversations with an editor who will help him turn his good ideas into great ones. He wants someone to get excited about what he's doing and to help him turn his story idea upside down and inside out, exploring the best ways to report it. He wants to be more valuable for your paper. That's what you want for him, too, isn't it?So your reporter has set me thinking.Our best hope in keeping our best reporters, copy editors, photographers, artists---everyone--is to work harder to make sure they get the help they are demanding to reach their potential. If we can't do it, they'll find someone who can.60. What does the writer think of the reporter?A. Optimistic.B. Imaginative.C. Ambitious.D. Proud.

3.Passage TwoThe other day I heard an American say to a Chinese student of English "You speak very good English." But the student answered, "No, no. My English is very poor." The foreigner was quite surprised at the answer. Thinking he had not made himself understood or the student had not heard him clearly, he said, "Yes indeed, you speak English very well." But the Chinese student still kept saying "No". In the end the foreigner gave up and was at a loss what to say. What's wrong with the student's answer? It is because he did not accept a compliment(赞美的话)as the English people do. He should have said "Thank you" instead of "No". He actually understood what the American had said. But he thought he should be modest. If he said "Thank you", that would mean he was too proud. According to the western culture, if someone says the dishes you have cooked are very delicious, you should say "Thank you". If someone says to a Woman "You look so beautiful with the new clothes on", she should be very happy and answer "Thank you". In our country we think being modest is a virtue and showing off a bad thing. But in the west, if you are modest and say "No, I'm afraid I can't do it well", then the others will take it for granted that you really cannot do it. If you often say "No", you will certainly be looked down upon by others. When asking for a job, if one says something like "Let me have a try on the job" instead of "Yes, I can certainly do it," he or she will never expect to get it. So in the west one should always be confident. Without self-confidence, he cannot go anywhere. Confidence is of great importance to one in a country where competition is quite keen.40. Why was the American surprised at the Chinese student's answer?A. Because he wondered whether the student could really speak good English.B. Because he could hardly hear what the student had said.C. Because he wouldn't like others to say "No".D. Because the way to accept a compliment in China is not the same as that in the western countries.

    根据内容,回答 下面问题:It’s not easy being a teenager-nor is it easy being the parent of a teenager. You can make your child feel angry, hurt, or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself. It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while making him realize that you’ll still be there for him when he needs you. Expect a lot from your child, just not everything. Except for health and safety problems, such as drug use or careless driving, consider everything else open to discussion. If your child is unwilling to discuss something, don’t insist he tell you what’s on his mind. The more you insist, the more likely that he’ll clam up. Instead, let him attempt to solve (解决) things by himself. Show respect for your teenager’s privacy (隐私). Never read his mail or listen in on personal conversations. Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family. If your child talks on the family’s telephone for too long, tell him he can talk for 15 minutes, but then he must stay off the phone for at least an equal period of time. This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls, but teaches your teenager moderation (节制). Or if you are open to the idea, allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part-time job.

    restaurant.To save money on food,he decided to get a job with KFC.For two months,he worked as a cook's
    assistant.His job was to clean the kitchen and help the cook."I didn't like it,"Mr. Kazi says,"but I always

    soon the restaurant was making a profit.
    A few years later,Mr. Kazi heard about a restaurant that was losing money.The restaurant was dirty
    inside and the food was terrible.Mr. Kazi borrowed money from a bank and bought the restaurant.For the
    first six months,Mr. Kazi worked in the restaurant from 8 a. m. to 10 p.m,seven days a week.He and his
    wife cleaned up the restaurant,remodeled the front of the building,and improved the cooking.They also

    restaurants that were losing money.Again he cleaned them up,improved the food and retrained the
    employees.Before long these restaurants were making a profit,too.

    Finding a Job
    At sixteen Ron Mackie might have stayed at school,but the future called to him excitedly.“Get out of the classroom into a job,”it said,and Ron obeyed.His father,supporting the dcci-sion,found a place for him in a supermarket.“You're lucky,Ron,”he said.“For every boy with a job these days,there's a dozen without.” So Ron joined the working world at twenty pounds a week.
    For a year he spent his days filling shelves with tins of food.By the end of that time he was looking back on his school days as a time of great variety and satisfaction.He searched for an in-terest in his work,with little success.
    One fine day instead of going to work Ron got a lift on a lorry going south.With nine pounds in his pocket,a full heart and a great longing for the sea,he set out to make a better way for him-self. That evening,in Bournemouth,he had a sandwich and a drink in a cafe run by an elderly man and his wife.Before he had finished the sandwich,the woman had taken him on for the rest of the summer,at twenty pounds a week,a room upstairs and three meals a day.The ease and speed of it rather took Ron's breath away.At quiet times Ron had to check the old man's arithme- tic in the records of the business.
    At the end of the season,he stayed on the coast. He was again surprised how straightforward it was for a boy of seventeen to make a living.He worked in shops mostly,but once he took a job in a hotel for three weeks.Late in October he was taken on by the sick manager of a shoe shop. Ron soon found himself in charge there;he was the only one who could keep the books.

    It took about a year for Ron to realize that______.
    A: he worked well because he was interested in the job
    B: his work at the supermarket was dull
    C: being at work was much better than going to school
    D: the store manager wanted to get rid of him

    答案:B
    解析:
    本文第一段的第一句说到:罗恩(Ron)感到未来在向他召唤:“走出教室,找个工作”,于是他们遵从了这一召唤。因此我们可以了解到是他自己想要开始工作。
    根据本文第一段,他的父亲支持这一决定,并帮助罗恩找到了一份工作。由此我们对父亲的态度是很明确的。
    本文第二段提到罗恩对学校生活的留恋,想要提高自己对目前工作的兴趣未果。由此可以判断出他认为超市的工作枯燥(dull) 。
    第三段说罗恩“longing for the sea”(向往大海),因此他是想在海边找个工作的。应注意C选项中的“unwell”指身体不舒服、有病,因而不选。
    根据上下文判断词汇含义。此题关键在于对“keep the books”的理解,这里指罗恩负责打理鞋店的生意,因为只有他懂得如何管理账目。而选项B中的accounts即是账目的意思。

    (2)“I don’t know what we can do.” his mother said.“I have an idea.” his father said.“If this doesn’t work, nothing will.”

    The next day was Daniel’s birthday.He was really looking forward to getting exciting presents.He woke up, expecting his parents to wish him a happy birthday.But all day what they said was “Good morning, Daniel.Hurry, or you will be late for school.” There were no presents, not even a card.He was really disappointed.“Never mind.” he thought.(3) “There’ll be a surprise for me after school.” But there wasn’t.Sadly he said to his parents at dinner, “Today’s my birthday.”

    “Oh,” his father said.“So it is.I forgot.”

    “So did I.” his mother said.“How could you forget?” Daniel asked.“There must be a reason.”

    “Well, yes.” his father said.“We have a really good excuse for forgetting your birthday, Daniel.We didn’t remember your birthday because we were too busy.”

    Poor Daniel! He never had a silly excuse for not doing something again.

    hoped to get a job in the airplane industry in California.Instead,he ended up working for a company that
    rented cars.
    While Mr. Kazi was working at the car rental(租赁的)company, he frequently ate at a nearby KFC
    restaurant.To save money on food,he decided to get a job with KFC.For two months,he worked as a cook's
    assistant.His job was to clean the kitchen and help the cook."I didn't like it,"Mr. Kazi says,"but I always

    restaurants that were losing money.Again he cleaned them up,improved the food and retrained the
    employees.Before long these restaurants were making a profit,too.

  • 第17题:

    资料:A man looking for art for his new home has won a $1 million Picasso painting with a $138 raffle ticket. Jeffrey Gonano told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review he's not sure he'll ever hang the masterpiece in his home in Wexford, in western Pennsylvania, given its value. The 25-year-old Gonano, who works for his family's fire sprinkler business, learned Wednesday that his ticket had won the Paris raffle. Organizers say nearly 50,000 tickets were sold worldwide, for 100 euros apiece, to benefit a Lebanese charity.
    The 1914 work, "Man in the Opera Hat," dates from Spanish master Pablo Picasso's cubist period. Picasso died in 1973.
    Gonano said he wants to keep the artwork, which features vivid shapes in opaque gouache paint.
    "Maybe I'll lend it to a museum and let them put it on display rather than putting it in a vault, so other people can enjoy it," he told the newspaper. "It all depends. I don't know what the taxes are or anything."
    Gonano's girlfriend, Gloria Spataro, said he liked the odds in the contest and felt optimistic. Nonetheless, she presumed he was joking when he said he'd won.
    "He thought the odds were actually pretty good compared to something like a lottery," said Spataro, of Pittsburgh. "He said, 'This will be my only chance to actually own something like this.'"
    The raffle raised about $3.5 million for the International Association for the Safeguard of Tyr, a UNESCO heritage site, said Reem Chalabi, an education coordinator with the group.
    Gonano and Spataro had recently begun to explore art galleries, and she had bought him a photograph by a Buddhist artist for Christmas.
    "I'm glad I actually gave it to him before," she said, "because if I gave it to him afterward, that would look pretty insignificant compared to a Picasso."

    How did the man get the Picasso painting?

    A.He bought it for his new home.
    B.He received it from Picasso's family.
    C.He won the French lottery.
    D.He got it from a charity organization

    答案:C
    解析:
    本题考查的是细节理解。
    【关键词】how;the man;get; Picasso painting
    【主题句】第1自然段A man looking for art for his new home has won a $1 million Picasso painting with a $138 raffle ticket. 一名正在为新家寻找艺术品的男子以一张价值138美元的彩票赢得了价值100万美元的毕加索画作。
    【解析】本题的问题是“这个男人是如何得到毕加索的画的?”。选项A意为“他为了他的新家买了它”;选项B意为“他从毕加索的家人那里得到”;选项C意为“他赢得了法国彩票”;选项D意为“他从慈善组织那里得到了它”。
    根据主题句可知,他是买彩票中奖赢得的毕加索画作,故选C。

    ers needed a manager for a new restaurant.They gave the job to Mr. Kazi.He worked hard as the manager
    and soon the restaurant was making a profit.

    side and the food was terrible.Mr. Kazi borrowed money from a bank and bought the restaurant.For the first
    six months,Mr. Kazi worked in the restaurant from. 8 a. m.to 10 p.m.,seven days a week.He and his wife
    cleaned up the restaurant,remodeled the front of the building,and improved the cooking. They also tried

    A:it’s small
    B:it’s profitable
    C:it’s dirty
    D:it's cheap

    答案:C
    解析:
    由第二段可知,Mr.Kazi童年的梦想是成为一名飞行员。
    由第四段第二句话可知,Mr.Kazi是为了省饭钱才在KFC工作的。
    由第五段可知,Mr.Kazi由于一个人干了二人的活使老板对他努力工作的精神印象深 刻,在他们准备再开一个店时,给了他一个机会。
    由第六、七段可知,Mr.Kazi每收购一个赔钱的饭店都要打扫、改善食物、重新墙训雇 员,唯独没有做广告。
    mess的意思是“混乱的,脏乱的”,所以it's dirty的意思最符合题干的意思。 第二篇 文章主要介绍了EoL这一工程的相关信息。

    Finding a Job
    At sixteen Ron Mackie might have stayed at school,but the future called to him excitedly.“Get out of the classroom into a job,”it said,and Ron obeyed.His father,supporting the dcci-sion,found a place for him in a supermarket.“You're lucky,Ron,”he said.“For every boy with a job these days,there's a dozen without.” So Ron joined the working world at twenty pounds a week.
    For a year he spent his days filling shelves with tins of food.By the end of that time he was looking back on his school days as a time of great variety and satisfaction.He searched for an in-terest in his work,with little success.
    One fine day instead of going to work Ron got a lift on a lorry going south.With nine pounds in his pocket,a full heart and a great longing for the sea,he set out to make a better way for him-self. That evening,in Bournemouth,he had a sandwich and a drink in a cafe run by an elderly man and his wife.Before he had finished the sandwich,the woman had taken him on for the rest of the summer,at twenty pounds a week,a room upstairs and three meals a day.The ease and speed of it rather took Ron's breath away.At quiet times Ron had to check the old man's arithme- tic in the records of the business.
    At the end of the season,he stayed on the coast. He was again surprised how straightforward it was for a boy of seventeen to make a living.He worked in shops mostly,but once he took a job in a hotel for three weeks.Late in October he was taken on by the sick manager of a shoe shop. Ron soon found himself in charge there;he was the only one who could keep the books.

    Why did Ron leave the supermarket?
    A: He knew he would find work in Bournemouth.
    B: He took a job as a lorry driver.
    C: He gave up the job because he felt unwell.
    D: He wanted to work at the seaside.

    答案:D
    解析:
    本文第一段的第一句说到:罗恩(Ron)感到未来在向他召唤:“走出教室,找个工作”,于是他们遵从了这一召唤。因此我们可以了解到是他自己想要开始工作。
    根据本文第一段,他的父亲支持这一决定,并帮助罗恩找到了一份工作。由此我们对父亲的态度是很明确的。
    本文第二段提到罗恩对学校生活的留恋,想要提高自己对目前工作的兴趣未果。由此可以判断出他认为超市的工作枯燥(dull) 。
    第三段说罗恩“longing for the sea”(向往大海),因此他是想在海边找个工作的。应注意C选项中的“unwell”指身体不舒服、有病,因而不选。
    根据上下文判断词汇含义。此题关键在于对“keep the books”的理解,这里指罗恩负责打理鞋店的生意,因为只有他懂得如何管理账目。而选项B中的accounts即是账目的意思。

  • 第21题:

    Ron was an engineer.He planned a change and tried the new job of teaching kids how to swim.Ron′s easy?manner soon made him a full-time employee at the swim school.
    Now,the 40 hours he works a week takes in weekends,early mornings and late afternoons.He earns around?25%less than he did in engineering.But,at 49,he says he has never been happier."I′ve had a drop in pay,but I′ve?cut back on spending,too.I seldom drive to work so don′t have to pay as much for petrol(汽油).I don′t drink as much.I go walking in my lunch break and I′ve lost 20 kilos.I love going to work.The whole family is a lot happier."
    When one of his brothers called,offering to help him find"a real i oh",he answered,"I don′t care.I know what?I′m doing is good."
    He admits it was fearful making such a big change when there was the mortgage(分期付款)to pay and kids to clothe and feed,but in the end he feels it is a simple choice."If you′re in a job you don′t like,get out.Money′s not?everything.If you don′t like it,change—find something you′re going to be happy with."

    What′s Ron′s advice to the readers?

    A.Stick to the job if you have kids to raise.
