第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分） A

One of the qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit one’s mistakes. 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 2006, 9280 in 2007 and 18390 in 2008. Although no latest official numbers were available, Netbig.com 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.com 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 companies 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 become useful in their business operations,” said Yang Ching-yao, professor of the Chinese mainland studies.

A netbig.com 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 companies are coming to the Chinese mainland because the law there is perfect

C. more Taiwanese companies’ coming to the mainland makes it better to learn laws D. the mainland is short of lawyers for the Taiwanese companies 62. The author wrote the article to tell us

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 computer. “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 become 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 computer 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 becoming 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?
