A

“Everything happens for the best.” My mother said whenever I faced disappointment.

“If you carry on, one day something good will happen. And you’ll realize that it wouldn’t

I hitchhiked home to Dixon, Illinois. While there were no radio-announcing jobs, my father said Montgomery Ward had opened a store and wanted a local athlete to manage its

sports department. Since Dixon was where I had played high school football. I applied for it. The job sounded just right for me. But I wasn’t hired. My disappointment must have shown. “Everything happens for the best,” Mom

reminded me. Dad offered me the car to the job hunt. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport, Iowa.

The program director, a wonderful Scotsman named Peter MacArthur, told me they had

already hired an announcer. As I left his office, my frustration boiled over. I asked aloud, “How can a fellow get to

be a sports announcer if he can’t get a job in a radio station?” I was waiting for the elevator when I heard Mar Arthur calling, “What was that you said about sports? Do you know anything about football?” Then he stood me before a microphone and asked me to broadcast an imaginary game.

On my way home, as I have many times since, I thought of my mother’s words: “If you

carry on, one day something good will happen. Something wouldn’t have happened if not for

that previous disappointment.” I often wonder what direction my life might have taken if I had got the job at

Monotogmery Ward. 56. What job can you infer that the writer will probably do in the end? A. A sports department keeper. B. A radio announcer.

C. A local athlete. D. A program director

57. The writer failed to find the job he wanted at first probably because___________.

A. he only wanted to try for his job B. he doesn’t want to work in a small station C. there were no jobs for him

D. he was a green hand, and no one would risk using him 58. According to the passage, the underlined word “hitchhiked” probably means _______.

A. asked for a lift B. drove C. walked D. bicycled

B

For years, many people would not believe that smoke could attack so many parts of the body in so many ways. Study shows, however, that tobacco isn't one single thing. At least 60% of it is gas -- 20 different kinds of gas. And one of these is the deadly carbon monoxide (CO).

In factories, the amount of this gas in the air is measured, and it must be kept under fixed, C. you can have five to ten times of blood than usual D. your blood will be poisonous 62. Those who smoke ________.

A. all live at sea lever. B. don't live at an altitude of two miles C. breathe as much oxygen as non-smokers

D. only get the same amount of oxygen at the sea level as non-smokers at an altitude of

safe levels. But there is 640 times this safe amount in cigarette smoke.

Oxygen is carried through your body by the red blood cells (细胞). But this poison gas, CO, will get the blood cells before the oxygen can. So, if you smoke your blood carries five to ten times more of this deadly gas than normal. To make up for this, your body must make more red cells.

The Oxygen in your blood passes into your tissue (组织). But here again CO means trouble. It keeps the oxygen from passing into your tissues as fast as it should. Because of this, cigarette country is always about 8, 000 feet above sea level. Someone who smokes and lives at sea level gets as little oxygen as a non-smoker at an altitude (高度) of nearly two miles.

This happens to everyone who smokes, no matter how old or how young. Anyone who competes (竞赛) in sports can tell you that those who smoke run out of breath more quickly than those who do not.

59. Decide which of the following statements is true according to the passage.

A. Many people used to believe that smoke could not attack many parts of the body in

many ways.

B. It's known for years that smoke could attack many parts of the body in many ways.

C. Many people would believe that smoke could attack one part of the body in a certain

way.

D. Smoke could attack many parts of the body in many ways ,but many people wouldn't

think so.

60. The gas amount in cigarette smoke is ________.

A. 640 times higher than the gas safe levels in factories B. 640 times lower than the gas safe levels in factories C. 640 times as much as that in factories D. as dangerous as that in factories 61. If you smoke, _________.

A. your blood carries more oxygen than normal

B. your blood carries much more carbon monoxide than normal

nearly two miles.

C

Language learning begins with listening. Children are greatly different in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and later starters are often long listeners .Most children will “obey” spoken instructions some time before they can speak, though the word “obey” is hardly accurate as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child .Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.

Any attempt to study the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves as particularly expressive as delight, pain, friendliness, and so on. But since these can’t be said to show the baby’s intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new words to their store. This self-imitation（模仿）leads on to deliberate（有意的）imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech.

It is a problem we need to get out teeth into. The meaning of a word depends on what a particular person means by it in a particular situation and it is clear that what a child means by a word will change as he gains more experience of the world .Thus the use at seven months of “mama” as a greeting for his mother cannot be dismissed as a meaningless sound simply because he also uses it at other times for his father, his dog, or anything else he likes. Playful and meaningless imitation of what other people say continues after the child has begun to speak for himself, I doubt, however whether anything is gained when parents take advantage of this ability in an attempt to teach new sounds. 63. Before children start speaking________. A. they need equal amount of listening

B. they need different amounts of listening

C. they are all eager to cooperate with the adults by obeying spoken instructions D. they can’t understand and obey the adult’s oral instructions 64. Children who start speaking late ________. A. may have problems with their listening

B. probably do not hear enough language spoken around them C. usually pay close attention to what they hear

D. often take a long time in learning to listen properly 65. A baby’s first noises are ________.

A. an expression of his moods and feelings B. an early form of language

C. a sign that he means to tell you something D. an imitation of the speech of adults

66. The problem of deciding at what point a baby’s imitations can be considered as speech________.

A. is important because words have different meanings for different people B. is not especially important because the changeover takes place gradually

C. is one that should be properly understood because the meaning of words changes with age

D. is one that should be completely ignored（忽略）because children’s use of words is often meaningless

67. The speaker implies________.

A. parents can never hope to teach their children new sounds B. children no longer imitate people after they begin to speak

C. children who are good at imitating learn new words more quickly D. even after they have learnt to speak, children still enjoy imitating D

Never go into a supermarket hungry! This is a good piece of advice. If you go shopping for food before lunchtime, you’ll probably buy more than you plan to. Unfortunately, however, just this advice isn’t enough for consumers these days. Modern shoppers need an education in how and how not to buy things at the store. First, you check the weekly newspaper ads. Find out the items that are on sale and decide if you really need these things. In other words, don’t buy anything just because it’s cheaper than usual! “New and Improved!” or “All Natural” on the front of a package influence you. Instead, read the list of ingredients(contents) on the back. Third, compare prices: that is, you should examine the

prices of both different brands and different sizes of the same brand.

Another suggestion for consumers is to buy ordinary items instead of famous brands. Ordinary items in supermarkets come in plain packages. These products are cheaper because producers don’t spend much money on packing or advertising. The quality, however, is usually as good as the quality of well-known name brands. In the same way, in buying clothes, you can often find high quality and low prices in brands that are not famous. Shopping in discount clothing stores can help you save a lot of money. Although these stores aren’t very attractive, and they usually do not have individual dressing rooms, not only are the prices low, but you can often find the same famous brands that you find in high-priced department stores.

Wise consumers read magazine ads and watch TV commercials, but they do this with one advantage: knowledge of the psychology behind the ads. In other words, well-informed consumers watch for information and check for misinformation. They ask themselves questions: Is the advertiser hiding something in small print at the bottom of the page? Is there any real information in the commercial, or is the advertiser simply showing an attractive image? With the answers to these questions, consumers can make a wise choice. 68 . All the following statements are true about the phrase “ordinary items” in Paragraph 2

except ____.

A. ordinary items never say “New and Improved” or “All Natural” B. ordinary products are usually cheaper than famous brands C. producers spend less money on packaging of ordinary items

D. the quality of ordinary items is usually as good as that of famous brands 69. What does the writer think about ads?

A. They are believable. B. They are attractive.

C. They are full of misinformation. D. They are helpful to consumers. 70. The author implies that ____.

A. going into the supermarket hungry, you may buy more than you plan to B. the quality of ordinary items is usually high and the prices are relatively low C. discount clothing stores are good places to go to D. ads sometimes don’t tell the truth 第二节：
