阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

A

When do people decide whether or not they want to become friends? During their first four minutes together, according to a book by Dr. Leonard Zunin.

When we are introduced to new people, we should try to appear friendly and self-confident. In general, he says,

Hearing such advice, one might say,

But isn't it dishonest to give the appearance of friendly self-confidence when we don't actually feel that way? Perhaps, but according to Dr. Zunin,

The author also declares that interpersonal relations should be taught as a required course in every school, along with reading, writing, and mathematics. In his opinion, success in life depends mainly on how we get along with other people. That is at least as important as how much we know.

41. When first introduced to new people, we should __________.

A. be friendly and sure of ourselves regardless of the other people's feeling

B. always tell the whole truth even if it hurts

C. appear friendly and self-confident at least for the first few minutes

42. According to the author's advice, interpersonal relations _______.

A. should be set as a required course in schools

B. are more important than other courses in school

C. are less important than reading, writing and mathematics

D. is the only key to one's success in life

C. Personal Relations D. The First Four Minutes

B

Success Is Not a Destination(目的地)

Should people stop once they have achieved something? No! In life, they are always trying to make things better or have more of the same success.

Athletes are constantly striving(努力) to shorten time for races, increase heights or distances.

The world of medicine has had its series of successes, too. Christian Barnard performed several successful heart transplants. Other medical experts have achieved organ transplants. Throughout the ages, mankind has found treatments and cures for cancer and other diseases. A cure for AIDS might soon be discovered.

Age does not seem to slow down achievers. Tina Tuner at 54 is still singing in abundance(丰富) and attracting sell-out crowds wherever she goes.

Comedian George Burns, in his 90s, wants to perform at Caesar’s Palace when he turns 100. Success does not belong only to the rich and famous. It should be the goal of everyone. Many successful people have had humble beginnings.

Would you believe that actress Michelle Pfeifer of Cat was a supermarket checkout girl? At work, we strive for achievement, too. Success may mean organizing a conference more effectively and efficiently each year. Sometimes, it is not a pat on the back or the promotion that makes it worthwhile.

Often, it is the inner thrill(一阵激动) and satisfaction of achievement, no matter how small it may be.

Aiming for success doesn’t mean you are greedy or dissatisfied. It is all part of gaining new experiences. It ultimately(最终) makes you a more interesting and useful person in society.

The journey to success has its road blocks, discouragement and distractions. It takes great resourcefulness and achievement to overcome obstacles and setbacks to move on successfully.

45.If an athlete can shorten time in races, he/she .

A.is a real success

B.will stop his/her steps forward D.is the best runner of all C.is always sure to win

46.The expression “a pat on the back” probably means “ ”.

A.patting somebody on the back

C.singing somebody’s praises B.something important D.anything important

47.Which statement below is NOT true according to the passage?

A.Man now can transplant organs. B.Man now can cure AIDS.

C.Not all successful people have humble beginnings.

D.Michelle was once a supermarket checkout girl.

48.The writer of the passage agrees to all the ideas EXCEPT that .

A. any small success will make us excited

B. organizing a conference is a success

C.aiming for success is to gain new experiences in life

D.the journey to success is not so smooth to make

To all of you at Chinese love links,

I am 44 years old and never married. I have always wanted to find that perfect someone that I dream about. For about the last five years I have almost given up the hope of ever finding the one I truly wish to spend the rest of my life with.

I have always tried to be a nice guy. I had found your website some four or five months before. I did not know what to expect. I don’t know how to speak Chinese and never thought truly of how I was to an Asian woman.

Well, I had a lot of replies from some very nice and pretty women. I had a hard time finding only a couple to write to. But one stood out from the rest. She was cute, nice and seemed to hold a lot of the same values as I do. In a short time I had decided to write only to her. We communicated via emails 2-3 times a day and phone calls once or twice a week.

I went and met her and her family only a week ago. Her name is Ying and she lives in Nanning. I found Nanning to be one of the most beautiful cities I had ever been to. We had even decided to marry and to bring her to the USA under the fiancée visa. Not only did she meet everything I had ever hoped to find in someone else but turned out to be what every woman should be like, at least the ones I have met. We plan to marry as soon as she is here and start a family together as neither of us has children but we both want them.

So to anyone out there reading this, I can only say this: You may not find what you are looking for if you’re not honest with your partner and yourself. This site worked for me mostly because I was honest with something that I wanted in someone else. When I did find her, love can work even across the other side of the world, between language differences and cultural differences.

I wish you all luck in finding your perfect match. I have finally found mine and wish to give all my thanks to those at Chinese love links to help make it happen.

Sincerely yours,

Arthur

49.We can infer from the letter that Chinese love links is a website to .

A.help foreigners to travel in China B.help both Chinese and foreigners to find one they want to marry C.help Chinese and foreigners make friends D.receive letters from the USA

50.Which of the following is true about Arthur’s story?

A.He was sure of finding a Chinese woman as his wife at first. B.He was determined to find a Chinese woman as his wife. C.He almost lost hope in finding a perfect wife until he found Ying. D.No women wrote to him before Ying.

51.Ying stood out from the rest because .

A.she was a Chinese B.she had much in common with Arthur C.other women stopped writing to Arthur D.she was cute and nice and often phoned to Arthur

52.Arthur thinks is the most important in finding someone one wants to marry.

A.being honest with the partner and oneself C.difference in languages and places B.help from the website D.difference in cultures

With only about 1, 000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone(克隆) the animal and save the endangered species(物种). That’s a move similar to what a Texas

A & M University researchers have been undertaking for the past five years in a project called “Noah’s Ark”.

Noah’s Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos(胚胎), semen and DNA of endangered animals

and storing them in liquid nitrogen. If certain species should become extinct, Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A & M’s College of Veterinary Medicine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future.

It is estimated that as many as 2, 000 species of mammals, birds reptiles will become extinct in over 100 years. The panda, native only to China, is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years.

This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to implant the embryo into a host animal.

The entire procedure could take from three to five years to complete.

“The nuclear transfer(核子移植) of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available panda eggs could be a major problem,” Kraemer believes. “They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy (having a baby). It takes a long time and it’s difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort,” adds Kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the Project at Texas A & M, the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog.

“They are trying to do something that’s never been done, and this is very similar to our work in Noah’s Ark. We’re both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly appreciate their effort and there’s a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. It’s a research that is very much needed.”

57. The aim of “Noah’s Ark” project is to _______.

A. make efforts to clone the endangered pandas

B. save endangered animals from dying out

C. collect DNA of endangered animals to study

D. transfer the nuclear of one animal to another

58. According to Professor Kraemer, the major problem in cloning pandas would be the lack of

_______.

A. available panda eggs

C. qualified researchers B. host animals D. enough money

59. Which of the following should be the best title for the passage?

A. China’s Success in Pandas Cloning B. The First Cloned Panda in the World

C. Exploring the Possibility to Clone Pandas

D. China —the Native Place of Pandas Forever

60. From the passage we know that _______.

A. Kraemer and his team have succeeded in cloning a dog

B. scientists try to implant a panda’s egg into a rabbit

C. Kraemer will work with Chinese scientists in clone researches

D. about two thousand of species will probably die out in a century

Dear Helpful,

I’m a Senior Three students and I’m in trouble. I used to like English, but now I have some difficulty in English, especially in English writing. Though I know English is a very important subject, I think now it is too difficult for me. You know I have got poor results in English many times because my writing is poor. I wonder why so many students like English and can get good results in English. I do want to be one of the best students and go to a famous university after graduation. But my English is not good enough. What should I do?

Dear Worried,

I have received your letter and I’m glad to give you some suggestions. First of all, don’t be disappointed. Many students find it difficult to write well. In my opinion, if you want to improve your writing, you can do several things. First, do some study with set phrases and sentence structures. Keep a list of them and then try to make some sentences with them. Second, read as much as possible. There are many things that can’t be learnt. You must see them in books many times. Then you’ll be able to use them correctly yourself. So, in order to write well, you must learn to read much. Finally, you’d better recite some good passages.

Good luck to you in your writing.

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

A

When do people decide whether or not they want to become friends? During their first four minutes together, according to a book by Dr. Leonard Zunin.

When we are introduced to new people, we should try to appear friendly and self-confident. In general, he says,

Hearing such advice, one might say,

But isn't it dishonest to give the appearance of friendly self-confidence when we don't actually feel that way? Perhaps, but according to Dr. Zunin,

The author also declares that interpersonal relations should be taught as a required course in every school, along with reading, writing, and mathematics. In his opinion, success in life depends mainly on how we get along with other people. That is at least as important as how much we know.

41. When first introduced to new people, we should __________.

A. be friendly and sure of ourselves regardless of the other people's feeling

B. always tell the whole truth even if it hurts

C. appear friendly and self-confident at least for the first few minutes

C. Personal Relations D. The First Four Minutes

B

Success Is Not a Destination(目的地)

Should people stop once they have achieved something? No! In life, they are always trying to make things better or have more of the same success.

Athletes are constantly striving(努力) to shorten time for races, increase heights or distances.

The world of medicine has had its series of successes, too. Christian Barnard performed several successful heart transplants. Other medical experts have achieved organ transplants. Throughout the ages, mankind has found treatments and cures for cancer and other diseases. A cure for AIDS might soon be discovered.

Age does not seem to slow down achievers. Tina Tuner at 54 is still singing in abundance(丰富) and attracting sell-out crowds wherever she goes.

Comedian George Burns, in his 90s, wants to perform at Caesar’s Palace when he turns 100. Success does not belong only to the rich and famous. It should be the goal of everyone. Many successful people have had humble beginnings.

Would you believe that actress Michelle Pfeifer of Cat was a supermarket checkout girl? At work, we strive for achievement, too. Success may mean organizing a conference more effectively and efficiently each year. Sometimes, it is not a pat on the back or the promotion that makes it worthwhile.

Often, it is the inner thrill(一阵激动) and satisfaction of achievement, no matter how small it may be.

Aiming for success doesn’t mean you are greedy or dissatisfied. It is all part of gaining new experiences. It ultimately(最终) makes you a more interesting and useful person in society.

The journey to success has its road blocks, discouragement and distractions. It takes great resourcefulness and achievement to overcome obstacles and setbacks to move on successfully.

45.If an athlete can shorten time in races, he/she .

A.is a real success

B.will stop his/her steps forward D.is the best runner of all C.is always sure to win

46.The expression “a pat on the back” probably means “ ”.

A.patting somebody on the back

C.singing somebody’s praises B.something important D.anything important

47.Which statement below is NOT true according to the passage?

A.Man now can transplant organs. B.Man now can cure AIDS.

C.Not all successful people have humble beginnings.

D.Michelle was once a supermarket checkout girl.

48.The writer of the passage agrees to all the ideas EXCEPT that .

A. any small success will make us excited

B. organizing a conference is a success

C.aiming for success is to gain new experiences in life

D.the journey to success is not so smooth to make

To all of you at Chinese love links,

I am 44 years old and never married. I have always wanted to find that perfect someone that I dream about. For about the last five years I have almost given up the hope of ever finding the one I truly wish to spend the rest of my life with.

I have always tried to be a nice guy. I had found your website some four or five months before. I did not know what to expect. I don’t know how to speak Chinese and never thought truly of how I was to an Asian woman.

Well, I had a lot of replies from some very nice and pretty women. I had a hard time finding only a couple to write to. But one stood out from the rest. She was cute, nice and seemed to hold a lot of the same values as I do. In a short time I had decided to write only to her. We communicated via emails 2-3 times a day and phone calls once or twice a week.

I went and met her and her family only a week ago. Her name is Ying and she lives in Nanning. I found Nanning to be one of the most beautiful cities I had ever been to. We had even decided to marry and to bring her to the USA under the fiancée visa. Not only did she meet everything I had ever hoped to find in someone else but turned out to be what every woman should be like, at least the ones I have met. We plan to marry as soon as she is here and start a family together as neither of us has children but we both want them.

So to anyone out there reading this, I can only say this: You may not find what you are looking for if you’re not honest with your partner and yourself. This site worked for me mostly because I was honest with something that I wanted in someone else. When I did find her, love can work even across the other side of the world, between language differences and cultural differences.

I wish you all luck in finding your perfect match. I have finally found mine and wish to give all my thanks to those at Chinese love links to help make it happen.

Sincerely yours,

Arthur

49.We can infer from the letter that Chinese love links is a website to .

A.help foreigners to travel in China B.help both Chinese and foreigners to find one they want to marry C.help Chinese and foreigners make friends D.receive letters from the USA

50.Which of the following is true about Arthur’s story?

A.He was sure of finding a Chinese woman as his wife at first. B.He was determined to find a Chinese woman as his wife. C.He almost lost hope in finding a perfect wife until he found Ying. D.No women wrote to him before Ying.

51.Ying stood out from the rest because .

A.she was a Chinese B.she had much in common with Arthur C.other women stopped writing to Arthur D.she was cute and nice and often phoned to Arthur

52.Arthur thinks is the most important in finding someone one wants to marry.

A.being honest with the partner and oneself C.difference in languages and places B.help from the website D.difference in cultures

With only about 1, 000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone(克隆) the animal and save the endangered species(物种). That’s a move similar to what a Texas

A & M University researchers have been undertaking for the past five years in a project called “Noah’s Ark”.

Noah’s Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos(胚胎), semen and DNA of endangered animals

and storing them in liquid nitrogen. If certain species should become extinct, Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A & M’s College of Veterinary Medicine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future.

It is estimated that as many as 2, 000 species of mammals, birds reptiles will become extinct in over 100 years. The panda, native only to China, is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years.

This week, Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo by introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to implant the embryo into a host animal.

The entire procedure could take from three to five years to complete.

“The nuclear transfer(核子移植) of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available panda eggs could be a major problem,” Kraemer believes. “They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy (having a baby). It takes a long time and it’s difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort,” adds Kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the Project at Texas A & M, the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog.

“They are trying to do something that’s never been done, and this is very similar to our work in Noah’s Ark. We’re both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly appreciate their effort and there’s a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. It’s a research that is very much needed.”

57. The aim of “Noah’s Ark” project is to _______.

A. make efforts to clone the endangered pandas

B. save endangered animals from dying out

C. collect DNA of endangered animals to study

D. transfer the nuclear of one animal to another

58. According to Professor Kraemer, the major problem in cloning pandas would be the lack of

_______.

A. available panda eggs

C. qualified researchers B. host animals D. enough money

59. Which of the following should be the best title for the passage?

A. China’s Success in Pandas Cloning B. The First Cloned Panda in the World

C. Exploring the Possibility to Clone Pandas

D. China —the Native Place of Pandas Forever

60. From the passage we know that _______.

A. Kraemer and his team have succeeded in cloning a dog

B. scientists try to implant a panda’s egg into a rabbit

C. Kraemer will work with Chinese scientists in clone researches

D. about two thousand of species will probably die out in a century

Dear Helpful,

I’m a Senior Three students and I’m in trouble. I used to like English, but now I have some difficulty in English, especially in English writing. Though I know English is a very important subject, I think now it is too difficult for me. You know I have got poor results in English many times because my writing is poor. I wonder why so many students like English and can get good results in English. I do want to be one of the best students and go to a famous university after graduation. But my English is not good enough. What should I do?

Dear Worried,

I have received your letter and I’m glad to give you some suggestions. First of all, don’t be disappointed. Many students find it difficult to write well. In my opinion, if you want to improve your writing, you can do several things. First, do some study with set phrases and sentence structures. Keep a list of them and then try to make some sentences with them. Second, read as much as possible. There are many things that can’t be learnt. You must see them in books many times. Then you’ll be able to use them correctly yourself. So, in order to write well, you must learn to read much. Finally, you’d better recite some good passages.

Good luck to you in your writing.
