An Italian
philosopher once said that a great man makes his own good luck. What he means
is that when good luck comes, a great man knows how to seize the opportunity
and 36 advantage of it.
There is a story
about Bill Gates, the 37 of Microsoft that proves this. One day an
executive from a large computer company came to his 38 looking for someone who had 39 a new operating system for computers. He
didn't know too much about the inventor or his operating system, and he wasn't 40

he didn't want to waste his trip, so he stopped by Gates' house to ask him if
he knew anything about the inventor's system and 45 it worked.
Since Gates was
working on very 46 software, most other people in his place
would have spoken 47 with the executive, told him that he was
working on something else, and then forgotten about the whole thing. Gates,
however, saw a(n) 48 and jumped on it. He told the executive
that 49 he was working on his own operating
system (he wasn't) and he would be 50 to discuss it with the executive in a few
weeks.
After the
executive 51 to a meeting to be held a few weeks
later, Gates quickly went out 52 for someone who had a workable new
operating system. As an engineer he had a better idea than the executive about
what he needed, and when he found someone with an operating system that he
liked, he made modifications(修改) 53 on what the executive told him. His
meeting a few weeks later was a great 54 , and Gates' new operating system was
sold to the large company and the sale became the foundation of Microsoft.
Within two decades Gates was the richest man in the world. He 55 his own luck by seizing an unexpected
opportunity.

請認真閱讀下列短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
A
John had been on
the road visiting clients for more than three weeks. He couldn't wait to get
back to Ohio
to see his wife and children. It was coming on Mother's Day, and he usually
tried to make it "back home", but this year he was just too tired. He
was in a small town just outside of Little
Rock when he drove by a flower shop. He said to
himself, "I know what I will do, I'll send Mom some roses."
He went into the
small shop and saw a young man talking to the clerk. "How many roses can I
get for six dollars, madam?" the boy asked. The clerk was trying to
explain that roses were expensive. Maybe the young man would be happy with carnations.
"No. I have
to have roses." He said, "My mom was sick so much last year and I
didn't get to spend much time with her. I want to get something special. It has
to be red roses, because that's her favorite." He was firm.
The clerk looked
up at John and was just shaking her head. Something inside of John was touched
by the boy's voice. He wanted to get those roses so badly. John had been
blessed in his business, and he looked at the clerk and silently mouthed he
would pay for the boy's roses.
The clerk looked
at the young man and said, "OK, I will give you a dozen red roses for six
dollars." The young man almost jumped into the air. He took the flowers
and ran from the store. It was worth the extra thirty-five dollars just to see
that kind of excitement.
John ordered his
own flowers and had the clerk be sure that delivery would include a note
telling his mother how much he loved her. As he drove away from the shop, he
was feeling very good. He caught a light about two blocks from the shop. As he
waited at the light, he saw the young boy walking down the sidewalk. He watched
him cross the street and enter a park through two huge gates. Suddenly he
realized it wasn't a park. It was a cemetery(公墓. He could see the young man turn there by gate and walk along the fence.
The light
changed, and John slowly crossed the crossing. He pulled over and on an
impulse(沖動之下) got out
and began to follow the boy down the fence line. John was on the sidewalk,
thirty or forty steps behind the boy, who walked inside the cemetery fence. The
young man stopped by a small monument and went on his knees. He carefully laid
the roses on the tomb and began to sob. John felt like an intruder but he
couldn't leave. He stared at the little boy's trembling body and listened to
his silent crying.
As he cried, he
heard the young man speak, "Mommy, oh Mommy, why didn't I tell you how
much I love you? Why didn't I tell you one more time? Jesus, please, find my
mommy. Tell my Mommy I love her."
John turned,
tears in his eyes, and walked back to his car. He drove quickly to the flower shop
and told her he would take the flowers personally. He wanted to be sure and
tell his mother one more time just how much he loved her.
56. The young boy actually spent _____
getting the rose flowers.
A. 6 dollars B. 35
dollars C. 41 dollars D. more than 6 dollars
57. The underlined word
"carnations" in the second paragraph probably _____________.
A. is a kind of tree

A. John would drive home in
person to see his mother with the flowers
B. John wanted to spend 35
dollars buying the roses for the young boy
C. The young boy would have
Jesus find his mommy
D. The young boy would turn
back to thank John
59. On the clerk's approval of giving the
flowers, the young boy was wild with joy because _________.
A. he knew he wouldn't have
got the flowers without John's help
B. the clerk was very kind
to help him

An Iraqi reporter called President George W. Bush a
"dog" and threw his shoes at him on Sunday, staining a farewell
visit to Baghdad which was meant to mark
greater security in Iraq
after years of bloody conflict, Reuters reported. "It's like going to a
political assembly and have people yell at you. It's a way for people to draw
attention," Bush said. Bush joked, saying that all he can report was
that it was a size 10 shoe, then calmly took questions.
A new United Nations report says nearly two million children die
each year because they have no access to clean water. The 2006 Human
Development Report, released Thursday in South Africa, says most of the
deaths are caused by diarrhea and dysentery brought on by dirty water.
The report's leading author, Kevin Watkins, said that the reason
behind the water crisis is not a shortage of water, but a lack of will On the
part of governments to provide water to people: The report calls on the
international community to do more to help solve the problem by doubling
annual contributions for water and cleanness.
Indian police say they have found four bombs on a train in the
eastern city of Kolkata (formerly known as Calcutta). Authorities
described the bombs as crude(土制的). They were discovered during a security check before the train
was scheduled to leave for the holy Hindu town of Tarakeswar. There has been no claim of
responsibility for the explosive devices.
The U.S. Navy is warning ships to stay away from the coast of Somalia after
a series ot pirate (海盜) attacks there. The U.S. Maritime Liaison Office in Bahrain says that, although ships belonging to
U.S. are operating in the
area, they cannot control every ship that passes the east coast of Somalia. The
office is urging merchant ships to stay at least 200 nautical miles off Somalia.
Pirates have attacked at least eight ships in the area this year. On
Saturday, pirates tried but failed to hijack(劫持) a boat carrying food to Somalia for the United Nations World
Food Program. The United Nations is calling for international action against
the rampant(猖獗的) piracy
off Somalia's coast, saving it threatens further aid deliveries to the
country.
61. From the news above, we can say that
the United Nations wants _____________ .

international contributions for water and cleanness in Africa

Clearly if we
are to participate in the society in which we live, we must communicate with
other people. A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-to-person
basis by the simple means of speech. If we travel in buses, buy things in
shops, or eat in restaurants, we are likely to have conversations where we give
information or opinions, receive news or comment, and very likely have our
views challenged by other members of society.
Face-to-face
contact is by no means the only form of communication, and during the last two
hundred years the art of mass communication has become one of the main factors
of current society. Two things, above others, have caused the extreme growth of
the communication industry. Firstly, inventiveness has led to advances in
printing, telecommunications, photography, radio and television. Secondly,
speed has revolutionized the transmission(傳輸) and reception of communications so that local news often takes a
back seat to national news, which itself is often almost eclipsed(失去優勢) by international news.
No longer is the
possession of information confined(局限于) to a privileged minority. In the last century, the wealthy man
with his own library was indeed fortunate, but today there are public
libraries. Forty years ago, people used to go to the cinema, but now far more
people sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a program that is being
channeled into millions of homes.
Communication is no
longer merely concerned with the transmission of information. The modern communication
industry influences the way people live in society and broadens their horizons
by allowing access to information, education and entertainment. The printing,
broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with informing,
educating and entertaining.
Although a great deal
of the material communicated by the mass media is very valuable to the individual
and to the society of which he is a part, the vast modern network of
communication is open to abuse. However, the mass media are with us for better,
for worse, and there is no turning back.
64. In the first paragraph the writer
stresses the ________ of face-to-face contact in social setting.
A. performance B.
usefulness
C. limitation
D. means
65. It is implied in the passage that
____________.
A. local news used to be the
only source of information
B. local news still takes a
significant place
C. national news is becoming
more popular
D. international news is the
fastest transmitted news
66. Which of the following statements is
NOT correct?
A. To possess information
used to be privileged.
B. Public libraries have
replaced private libraries.
C. Communication means more
than transmission.
D. Information influences
ways of life and thinking.
A moment later I
heard my uncle calling me, and found the two men on the road together. The
captain then addressed me as if I was his equal, which was very pleasing to a
young fellow like me.
"Sir,"
said he, "Mr. Balfour tells me great things of you, and I like your looks.
I wish I was staying here longer so that we might become friends. But we'll
make the most of the short time that we have. You must come on board my brig(雙桅船) for half an hour and have a
drink with me."
Now, I cannot
describe how eager 1 was to see the inside of a ship. But I was not going to
put myself in danger, and I told him my uncle and I had an appointment with a
lawyer.
"Yes,"
said he, "he told me of that. But, you see, the boat will set you on shore
farther along, near Rankeillor's house." And here he suddenly leaned down
and whispered in my ear: "Take care; the old devil(惡魔) has evil plans. Come on board
till I can have a Word with you."
Then, passing
his arm through mine, he continued aloud, as he set off towards his boat:
"Now what can I bring you from Carolina?
Any friend of Mr. Balfour can ask for what he likes. A roll of tobacco? Indian
feather work? A wild beast's skin? A stone pipe? A mocking-bird that cries just
like a cat? Make your choice and give your order."
By this time we
were beside his boat and he was helping me in. I did not dream of refusing. I
thought (like a fool) that 1 had found a friend and helper, and I was looking
forward to seeing the ship. As soon as we were all in our places the boat was
pushed off and began to move over the water. I was so delighted with this new
experience that I hardly understood what the captain said, and must have
answered him without thinking.
As soon as we
were alongside, Hoseason ordered a rope and chair to be sent down, declaring
that he and I must be the first to go on board. I was lifted into the air and
set down again on the deck(甲板), where the captain stood waiting for me and immediately slipped
his arm under mine. I stood there, rather confused and perhaps a little afraid,
but delighted with the strange things all around me, while the captain pointed
out some of the strangest and told me their names and uses.
And then I saw
that my uncle was not with us.
I felt I was
lost. With all my strength, I tore myself out of the captain's grasp and ran to
the side of the ship. Yes, there was the ship being rowed back to the shore,
with my uncle sitting in it. I gave a wild cry-so loud that it rang out over
the harbor, and my uncle turned around and showed me a face full of cruelty and
terror.
That was the
last thing I saw. Already strong hands had been pulling me back fromthe ship's
side, and now lightning seemed to strike me. I saw a great flash of fire, and
fell unconscious.
67. This passage is most probably taken
from _________.
A. a voyage magazine
B. a literature novel

A record 2.3 billion passenger trips will be taken in China during
the upcoming Lunar New Year period, the country% most important holiday,
Chinese media said on Thursday.
A record 188 million
people will take to the nation's railway system, 2 billion road trips will be
taken and 24 million will take holiday-related flights in January and February,
the China Daily said, in what is the world's biggest annual migration.
The yearly
migration is marked by chaotic scenes as masses of Chinese desperate to return
home overcrowded the nation's transport system, AFP said.
The official
Chinese New Year holiday for 2009 falls on January 26, earlier than most years
.
However, the
travel rush usually begins up to two weeks before that, and will last 40 days
beginning from Jan 11 to Feb 19.
Earlier this
year, the chaos was dramatically mixed with unusually serious winter ice storms
that spread suffering across a huge land of the country just as the migration
was getting under way.
Citing(引述) the government's main economic
planning agency, the China Daily said 2009 could see more chaos as this Chinese
New Year follows closely after the Western New Year on January 1. Many college
students and other people typically travel just before or after the Western New
Year and the upcoming holidays could see both migrations overcrowding the
transport system at the same time, it said.
People's Daily
Online launched an online survey titled "What problem are you most concerned
about for the upcoming 2009 Spring Festival railway transport peak
season?" on December 9. By 8:00 pm that day, a total of 17,496 netizens
had participated in the survey, and. 14,403 of them chose "buying train tickets
is difficult, it is almost impossible to get one," accounting for 82.3% of
the total number of participants.
The National
Development and Reform Commission also warned local governments to take steps
to cope with the expected crush, particularly in coastal manufacturing regions.
According to the
China Daily, the weather forecast during the Spring Festival is that most of
the country will experience normal temperatures for that time of year, but
heavy snows were expected in some regions.
