A
When Boris left school, he could not find a job. He tried hard and he wrote letters to many companies until he could not afford to buy any more stamps. Boris began to lose his confidence, then depressed. Still he went on trying and still he failed. He began to think that he had no future at all.
“Why don’t you start your own business?” one of his uncles told him. “The world is a money-locker. You’d better find a way of opening it.”
“But what can I do?”
“Get out and have a look round.” advised his uncle. “See what people want; then give it to them, and they will pay for it.”
Boris began to cycle around the town and found a suitable piece of waste ground in the end. Then he set up his business as a cycle repairer. He worked hard, made friends with his customers and gradually managed to win his good fame. A few months later, he found that he had more work than he could deal with by himself. He found a number of empty shops but they were all no good: in the wrong position, too expensive or with some other problems. But at long last, he managed to find an empty shop in a new place where there were plenty of customers but no competition.
Boris and his assistant taught themselves how to repair motor-cycles. Slowly but surely the profits increased and the business developed. At last, Boris had managed to open the money-locker and found bank notes and gold coins inside.

Two of the hardest things to accomplish in this world are to acquire wealth by honest effort and, having gained it, to learn how to use it properly. Recently I walked into the locker room of a rather well-known golf club after finishing a round. It was in the late afternoon and most of the members had left for their homes. But a half-dozen or so men past middle age were still seated at tables talking aimlessly and drinking more than was good for them. These same men can be found there day after day, and, strangely enough, each one of these men had been a man of affairs and wealth, successful in business and respected in the community. If material prosperity were the chief necessity for happiness, then each one should have been happy. Yet, it seemed to me, something very important was missing, else—there would not have been the constant effort to escape the realities of life through scotch and soda. They knew, each one of them, that their productivity had ceased (停止). When a fruit tree ceases to bear its fruit, it is dying. And it is even so with man.
What is the answer to a long and happy existence in this world of ours? I think I found it long ago in a passage from the book of Genesis which caught my eye while I was looking through my Bible. The words were few, but they became memorably impressed on my mind. “In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread.”
To me, that has been a challenge from my earliest recollections (memories). In fact, the battle of life, of existence, is a challenge to everyone. The immortal words of St. Paul, too, have been and always will be a great inspiration to me. At the end of the road I want to be able to feel that I have fought a good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith.
- Which of the following is indicated in the first paragraph?
A. Wealth results from honest effort.
B. The men seated at tables in the locker room are lost in the significance of life.
C. For some people, no way can be found to escape the realities of life other than scotch and soda.
D. The men acquire wealth by planting fruit trees.
9. The underlined sentence “In the sweat of the face shall you eat the bread” means ________.
A. Bread tastes delicious when sweat pours off your face
B. No pains, no gains
C. Failure is the mother of success
D. Bread comes from the sweat on your face
10. We learn from the passage that the author ________.
A. was a wealthy person in the community
B. held a positive attitude towards an active life
C. was fond of associating with celebrities (名人)
D. kept a secret of the reason why he was so impressed
11. What is implied in the passage by the writer?
A. To use wealth properly, eat, drink and be merry.
B. Where there is a will, there is a way.
C. As life is but like a dream, a man is like a fruit tree.
D. If you cease to struggle, you cease to live.
D
Having a great collection of books at home doesn’t really mean that you are a person who loves reading. It may be got from your father or your father’s father, and it can just impress people around you with the fact that you are a person of culture.
From my point of view, reading is very important in our daily life. For example, reading is a way of gaining knowledge in different areas. It can help us have a great imagination, and it makes things easier when it comes to making compositions on different themes. It gives you the possibility to speak about science, even if you don’t work in this field. You can express your opinions about a political event because you have read something about that.
Secondly, reading gives us the possibility to enter the world of imagination. We can imagine what life will be like in the future. Sometimes, we compare ourselves with the people in the stories we read and they can give us some clues to solve the problems and tell us what to do in certain situations. Books are based on real life. Even if writers are considered to be somehow different from common people, they often face the same problems as we all do.
In short, I would like to say that literature is the perfect way of enriching our culture, expressing correctly, having a rich vocabulary, being able to understand different fields and really being considered to be a learned person.
12. In the author’s opinion, a person has many books at home only to _______.
A. make his house look more beautiful
B. show that his father is a learned person
C. impress others with the fact that he loves reading
D. show that he is rich enough to collect many books
13. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text?
A. Reading a lot is good for writing
B. Reading can help us gain knowledge
C. Reading can help us have a great imagination
D. Reading helps us enter the field of politics easily
14. We can learn from the third paragraph that _______.
A. people in stories are always unbelievable
B. books may help us solve problems
C. writers are good at dealing with problems in life
D. writers often have different experiences in life
15. What can be the best title for the text?
A. Why Is Reading Important in Our Life
B. How Can We Become a Learned Person
C. Different Reading, Different Functions
D. Having a Good Collection of Books Means a Lot
第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
It’s reported that a male waiter recently poured boiling water over a female customer at a hot pot restaurant after the woman was caught complaining about the waiter’s bad service online. 16
The female victim, surnamed Lin, reportedly got into an argument with the waiter, surnamed Zhu, when Zhu refused her repeated request for additional soup for her pot. Lin was rushed to hospital and was diagnosed with severe bums on up to 40％ of her body. 17
Many netizens criticized the waiter for being too impulsive and ignoring the possible consequences, but some also accused Lin of being too picky. Meanwhile, some came up with a question worthy of discussion: 18
Many tragedies are caused by arguments and if the victim can control his or her anger and try to reach a compromise, the tragedies could possibly be avoided. Sometimes so-called “cowardliness” can be a form of self-protection, especially when you are faced with strangers and you know little about their personalities.
19 When they calm down afterwards, they would regret their “ridiculous” behavior and have to pay the price for the consequences·
In May, a male driver in the southwestern city of Chengdu was captured on film intercepting a woman’s car and dragging her out of her seat, throwing her on the ground, before cruelly kicking her several times on the head, simply because the woman suddenly changed lanes in front of his car.
20 Forgive others’ mistakes and avoid fueling others’ anger. Accordingly, you may be less likely to suffer from unexpected troubles.
A. Will the situation be out of control because of your anger?
B. Intolerance has contributed to lots of violent incidents.
C. How to keep ourselves safe when we argue with others?
D. The waiter has been arrested for further investigation and trial.
E. This incident caused an outcry among netizens and opinion leaders.
F. But it is difficult to control our anger when we have conflict with others.
G. So next time you deal with conflict, it is more advisable to control your temper and say “sorry” with a smile.

Dear editor,
I am writing to you about the discussion we recently had about whether it is good or not for families to have private cars.
With the development of people’s living conditions,more and more people have their own cars. Some of us think it is good to have private cars.Firstly, it is a convenient, fast and comfortable means of transportation tool. You can go to any places at any time. Secondly, it shows people are becoming richer and the county stronger. It also makes businesses and industries develop faster. However, others have different opinions. They think cars give off waste gas,and pollute the environment. Too many cars will have bad effects,such as more accidents. Besides, parking cars is another problem. Maybe people should think carefully before they buy a car.
Yours truly,
Li Hua
