     Alex Taw, a 21yearold student from Wiltshire, England. He spent last summer like any other
high school graduate-hanging out with friends, preparing for college, worrying about his university
fees. While most of his peers gave up on their pipe dreams, he sat down with a notebook at home,
and jotted down (草草記下) the question: How can I become a millionaire?
     The result was the Million Dollar Homepage. com. Alex's initial investment was 50 pounds to
buy web space and a domain (領(lǐng)域) name. He divided the blank homepage into one million pixels
(電腦上的像點(diǎn)), 10,000 blocks of 100 pixels each. Each pixel was worth $ 1, minimum purchase:
100 pixels. Within a month Alex had earned some $ 37,000, enough for him to cover the entire cost
of his forthcoming three years at university. In just a few months, he became a real millionaire.
     How did he come up with the idea of the Millionaire Dollar Home Page?
     "Well, I was trying to think of a way to make some money before I started university, as I was
about to take on a huge debt and I was already overdrawn (透支). Swift action was necessary!"
He said.
     He also added, "The important thing is that anything is possible-we are only limited by our
imagination. I always had this belief that a good idea can be successful on its own. I think I've learnt
that if we think deeper there are magical solutions hiding away for us to find."
     His personal philosophy around money is: Money is not everything, but it's an essential part of
the way we live. Having__some__removes__a__certain__amount__of__stress,__but,__unless_
_we__are__careful,__it__can__create__a__new__type__of__stress.
     He also said, "I still want to go to university. Aside from gaining knowledge about business, there
are other reasons-exploring your interests, meeting new people, and being in a creative environment."
     Besides making contributions to society, he would try to encourage and inspire people to think
of creative solutions to problems, whatever they are.

C. We should try our best to earn money.

4. What would be the best title for the passage?

    It doesn't matter when or how much a person sleeps, but everyone needs some rest to stay alive. That's what all doctors thought, until they heard about Al Herpin. Al Herpin, it was said, never slept. Could this be true? The doctors decided to see this strange man themselves.
    Al Herpin was 90 years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey. They thought for sure that he got some sleep of some kind. So they stayed with him and watched every movement he made.

    The only rest that Herpin sometimes got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspapers. The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness. They asked him many questions, hoping to find an answer. They found only one answer that might explain his condition. Herpin remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he was born. But that was all. Was this the real reason? No one could be sure.

    A
    After lunch,I walked back home. I was just to cross the street when I heard the sound of a coin dropping. It wasn’t much but,as I turned, my eyes caught the heads of several other people turning too. A woman had dropped what appeared to be a dime.
    The tinkling sound of a coin dropping on pavement is an attention-getter.It Can be nothing more than a penny.Whatever the coin is,no one ignores the sound of it.It got me thinking about sounds again.We are surrounded by so many sounds that attract the most attention.
    People in New York City seldom turn to look when a fire engine,a police car or an ambulance comes screaming along the street.When I’m in New York,I’m a New Yorker.I don’t turn either.Like the natives,I hardly hear a siren(警報(bào))there.
    However,at home in my little town in Connecticut,it’s different.The distant sound of a police car, all emergency vehicle or a fire siren brings me to my feet if I’m seated and brings me to the window if I’m in bed.It’s the quietest sounds that have most effect on us.not the loudest.In the middle of the night, I can hear a dripping tap a hundred yards away thigh three closed doors.I’ve been hearing little creaking noises and sounds which my imaginnation turns into footsteps in the middle of the night for twenty-five years in our house.How come I never hear those sounds in the daytime?
    I’m quite clear in my mind what the good sounds are and what the bad sounds are,I’ve turned against whistling,for instance:I used to think of it as the mark of a happy worker but lately I’ve been associating the whistler with a nervous person making unconscious noises.The tapping,tapping,tapping of my typewriter as the keys hit the paper is a lovely sound to me.I often like the sound of what I write better than the looks of it.
    41.The sound of a coin dropping makes people________.
    A.think of money    B.look at each other
    C.pay attention to it    D.stop crossing the street
    42.The author dislikes whistling because__________.
    A.he has got tired of it    B.it reminds him of tense people
    C.he used to be happier D.he doesn’t like workers
    43. What kind of sound does the author find pleasant?
    A.Tapping sound of his typewriter.    B.Clinking sound of keys.
    C.Tinkling sound of a coin dropping.  D.Creaking sound of footsteps.
    44.How does the author feel about sounds in general?
    A.They make him feel al home.      B.He thinks they should be ignored.

    Our boat floated on between walls of forest. It was too thick for us to get a view of the land we were passing through, though we knew from the map that our river must be passing through chains of hills from time to time. Nowhere did we find a place where we could have landed: although the jungle did not actually spread right down into the river, banks of soft mud prevented us from going ashore. In any case, what would we have gained by landing? The country was full of snakes and other dangerous creatures and the jungle was so thick that one would be able to advance slowly, cutting one's way with knives the whole way. So we stayed in the boat, hoping that when we reached the sea, a friendly fisherman would pick us up and take us to civilization.

    As for water, there was a choice. We could drink the muddy river water, or die of thirst. We drank the water. Men who have just escaped from what appeared to be certain death lost all worries about such small things as diseases caused by dirty water. In fact, none of us suffered from any illness as a result.

    One day we passed another village, but fortunately nobody saw us. We did not wish to risk being taken prisoners a second time: we might not be so lucky as to escape in a stolen boat again.

    1.What they could see on the boat was only___ .

    A. high walls         B. chains of hills  C. heavy woods D. vast land

    2.They couldn't land because_______ .

    A. the mud on the shore was too soft      B. they could not find anyone

    C. they could not find the mark on the map D. the forest was too thick to go through

    3.From the passage, we can learn that_____ .

    A. they were in an uninhabited area       B. they were on a journey home happily

    C. the country was a civilized society    D. the country was a tropical jungle coutry

    4.The best title for this passage might he______

    A. I he Problem of Landing                B. Escape in the Jungle

    C. An Entirely New Experience            D. Exploration of a River

    18【題文】If you travel to a new exhibition at the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers, you will have chances to see some meat-eating plants. Take bladderworts, a kind of such plant, for example. They appear so small and grow in a quiet pond. "But these are the fastest known killers of the plant kingdom, able to capture a small insect in 1/50 of a second using a trap door!"

    Once the trap door closes on the victim, the enzymes (酶)similar to those in the human stomach slowly digest the insert. When dinner is over, the plant opens the trap door and is ready to trap again.

    Meat-eating plants grow mostly in wet areas with soil that doesn't offer much food nutrition. In such conditions, these amazing plants have developed insect traps to get their nutritional needs over thousands of years. North America has more such plants than any other continents.

    Generally speaking, the traps may have attractive appearance to fool the eye, like pitcher plants, which get their name because they look like beautiful pitchers full of nectar (花蜜).

    Hair-like growths along the pitcher walls ensure that nothing can escape, and the digestive enzymes can get to work. A tiny insect can be digested in a few hours, but a fly takes a couple of days.

    Some of these pitchers are large enough to hold 7.5 liters. Meat-eating plants only eat people in science fiction movies, but sometimes a bird or other small animals will discover that a pitcher plant isn't a good place to get a drink.

    9.From Paragraph 1,we learn that bladderworts can__ .

    A. kill an insect in a second         B. digest a fly in a few hours

    C. be found floating on a quiet lake  D. capture an insect in 1/50 of a second

    10.If the trap door of a meat-eating plant is closed, the plant is

    A. fooling insects into taking a sip  B. producing nectar

    C. tempting insects to come close     D. enjoying a dinner

    11.Meat-eating plants can grow in wet and poor soil because they    .

    A. can get nutrition from animals     B. don't need much food nutrition

    C. can make the most of such conditions    D. have developed digestive enzymes

    12.What can be captured by meat-eating plants for food?

    A. A child. B. A dog.   C. A little bird.   D. A little fish.

    20【題文】BUKHANNON, West Virginia~~Two rescue teams slowly moved along a two—mile path on Monday night to the site of a coal mine explosion that trapped 13 miners, who had not been heard from since the early morning accident.

    Meanwhile, at a nearby church, more than 250 family members and friends gathered, waiting for updates on the rescuers' progress.

    The miners were trapped at about .6:30 and many families weren't informed of the accident until about 10 a.m.~~more than three hours after it happened. "It's very upsetting, but you've got to be patient, I guess," said John Helms, whose brother, Terry, was trapped in the mine.

    The trapped miners were about 260 fee underground and about 10,000 feet from the Sago Mine's entrance, said Roger Nicholson, a lawyer from International Coal Group.

    At a late night news conference, Nicholson said one team had advanced about 4, 800 feet in the four hours since entering the mine just before 6 p.m. Another team entered the mine about 30 minutes later.

    He said the crew was very experienced, with some members having worked underground for 30 to 35 years. The miners were equipped with al>out one hour of breathable oxygen each. The company has not released the names of the miners.

    The teams test the air about every 500 feet, and have to disconnect the power to the phones they use to communicate with the surface before doing that. "We don't want to be electrifying anything if it's in an atmospfiere with hurnahle gases," Kips said.

    The cause of the explosion was not immediately known. High levels of carbon monoxide ( 一氧化物) were discovered shortly after the explosion, which delayed rescue efforts, but those levels have weakened since then, authorities said.

    25.According to the passage, we ran infer that_ .

    I.     communication with the trapped miners was cut off

    J.    the rescue started as soon as the accident happened

    21【題文】

    You wake up in the morning, the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time. Then the telephone rings, you say hello, and the drama starts. The person on tbe other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to. Are you still in a wonderful mood? Impossible!

    Communieating with negative people can wash out your happiness. It may not change what you think, but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time.

    Life brings ups and downs, but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer. They only feel glad when they make others feel bad. No wonder they can hardly win others' pity or respect.

    When you communicate with positive people, your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted. When the knife of a negative person is put in you, you have the heavy feeling that, all in all, brings you down.

    Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people. This could be a co-worker, or a relative. In this case, say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person, but this is to lower you to that same negative level and they won't feel ashamed of themselves about that.

    Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized. The negative words of others at the start of the day can be attached to you throughout the rest of your day, which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness. Life is too short to feel negative. Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible.

    31. Which of the following shows the position where the miners were trapped? (E: entrance P: position where the miners were trapped)

    32.The purpose of Paragraph 1 is to____ .

    A. make a comparison                  B. introduce a topic

    C. offer an instructive story         D. tell a true story

    33.How can negative people have effect on us?

    A. By influencing our emotion.        B. By telling us the nature of life.

    C. By changing our way of thinking.   D. By comparing their attitude to life with ours.

    34.Some negative people base their happiness on —.

    A. their pity for other people        B. their respect for others '

    C. building up a positive attitude    D. making other people unhappy 35.According to the passage, to reduce negative people's influence on us, we are advised.

    A.  to change negative people's attitude to life

    B.  to show our dissatisfaction to negative people

    C.  to make negative people feel as hamed of themselves

    D.  to communicate with negative people as little as possible

    閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的A、B、C和D項(xiàng)中,選出最佳選項(xiàng),并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。                                 

    It doesn't matter when or how much a person sleeps, but everyone needs some rest to stay alive. That's what all doctors thought, until they heard about Al Herpin. Al Herpin, it was said, never slept. Could this be true? The doctors decided to see this strange man themselves.

    Al Herpin was 90 years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey. They thought for sure that he got some sleep of some kind. So they stayed with him and watched every movement he made. But they were surprised. Though they watched him hour after hour and day after day, they never saw Herpin sleeping. In fact, he did not even own a bed. He never needed one.

    The only rest that Herpin sometimes got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspapers. The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness. They asked him many questions, hoping to find an answer. They found only one answer that might explain his condition. Herpin remembered some talk about his mother having been injured several days before he was born. But that was all. Was this the real reason? No one could be sure.

    Al Herpin died at the age of 95. 

    41.The main idea of this passage is that _______

    A. everyone needs some sleep to stay alive

    D. to cure him of his sleeplessness

    43. After watching him closely, the doctors came to believe that Al Herpin ____

    A. needed no sleep at all                     B. needed some kind of sleep   

    C . was too old to need any sleep       D .often slept in a chair

    44.One reason that might explain Herpin' s sleeplessness was ______
