I told him honestly that the principal reason that I was interviewing with them was my need to keep my family in Boston. My wife had recently died of a heart attack. A job in Boston would help me reduce some pain for my 16-year-old daughter and me. It was important to me to keep her present high school. Bruce, the interviewer, was politely kind, but he didnt search any further. He acknowledged(承认) my loss and, with great respect, moved on to another subject. After the next round of interviews, Bruce took me to lunch with another manager. Then he asked me to take a walk with him. He told me that he had lost his wife. And, like me, he had also been married 20 years and had 3 children. I realized that he had experienced the same pain as I had and it was almost impossible to explain to someone who had not lost a loved one. He offered his business card and home phone number and suggested that, should I need help or just want someone to talk to, I should feel free to give him a call. Whether I got the job or not, he wanted me to know that he was there if I ever needed help. From that one act of kindness, when he had no idea if we could ever see each other again, he helped our family deal with one of lifes greatest losses. He turned the normally cold business interview process into an act of earing and supporting for another person in a time of extreme need.59. According to the passage, the interviewer, Bruce, was very . A. generous B. kind C. happy D. mean60. The underlined word principal in the first paragraph probably means . A. main B. unimportant C. necessary D. possible61. We can infer from this passage that . A. the writer didnt get the job in the pany B. Bruce made the writer pass the interview C. another manager also lost his wife D. the business interview was cold62. Which of the following statement is NOT true? A. The writers daughter was studying in Boston at that time. B. Both the writer and the interviewer experienced the same pain. C. Bruce was a senior manager of a big firm. D. Bruce wanted to make Mends with him because he gave him his business card and home phone number.C One would have to be a fool to overlook the importance of using positive thinking for you rather than snowing negative thinking to work against you. In recent years, research in psychopharmacology(精神药理学) has proved what many people have known over the centuries: a positive attitude is good for you, good for your health, good for your wealth, good for everything. Researchers have found that a positive attitude produces a specific chemical reaction which makes people feel better, while negative thinking results in a reduction of hormone(荷尔蒙) and shuts down the immune system. This leads to illness and depression. Positive thoughts will make you feel better. Even ifyou must begin by forcing yourself to be positive, it will bee contagious and the positive thoughts will produce nice little chemicals and good feelings which will reinforce the positive thoughts. For example, if you force yourself to smile or laugh, even when you dont feel like smiling or laughing, if you keep at it for a few minutes, you will soon feel like it. Feelings can make thoughts alive, and thoughts can do it, too. Control your thoughts and you can control your feelings. Positive thinking is important in all aspects of our lives. There is probably no single factor more important in determining your success in achieving your career purposes than your own attitude. Its often been said that in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. And in the office of militant(好战的) negativism, the positive workers shine like gold. You cannot control external events, but you can learn to control your reaction to those events and thereby have a positive attitude and be happy. This important key to success is totally within your control. Use it.63. We can infer from the passage that . A. positive thinking can cure you of your diseases B. positive thinking can easily be generated by anyone C. a reduction of hormone may cause you to be depressed D. a specific chemical reaction is the cause of negative thinking 64. According to the passage, which of the following is true? A. Feeling and thoughts can react to each other. B. Its easier to control thoughts than to control feelings. C. Your success depends wholly on your attitude. D. Keeping smiling will surely make you successful. 65.Just like a one-eyed man in the land of the blind, you should . A. take positive attitude in the office of militant negativism B. be kind in your office C. pay no attention to what is going on around you D. control your feeling to what is happening to you 66.The best title to the passage is . A. Thinking Benefits People B. Why Should People Think C. Positive Thinking and Negative Thinking D. Thinking: The Important WayD What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is No. It is not a tool a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further: he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his question into a large set of ideas about how the world works. The scientists knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any change the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the change in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigation. Einsteins ideas are shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations. 67. .knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The author says this to show . A. the importance of information B. the difference between carpenters and ordinary people C. the difference between scientists and ordinary people D. the importance of thinking 68. A sound scientific theory should be one that . A. works under one set of conditions at any time B. leaves no room for improvement C. does not allow any change even under different conditions D. can be used for many purposes69. Which of the following statements is NOT tree? A. What works under one set of conditions at one time might work under the same conditions at other times. B. Tools which a scientist uses for measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations. C. A scientist should know more about other branches of knowledge to arrive in his achievement. D. Knowing how to investigate, how to discover information is important to scientists.70. What is the main idea of the passage? A. Scientists are different from the ordinary people. B. The theory of relativity. C. Exactness is the secret of science. D. Exactness and way of using tools is the key to the making of a scientist.E Language is a major problem for the European Union (EU). The agreement or treaty(条约) which created the organization that eventually became the EU, the Treaty of Rome, stated that each countrys language must be treated equally. The original(原来的) six countries had only three languages between them: French, German and Dutch/Flemish. However, there are now 15 countries in the EU, with a total of 12 languages. EU documents must be translated into all these languages, and at official meetings the speeches must be translated into all the languages by interpreters. All this translating is very expensive and time-consuming (费时的). It is said that nearly half of all employees of the EU are engaged in translating documents and speeches, and nearly half of the EUs administrative(管理方面的) costs are spent on this task. In the near future it is probable that several morecountries, most of them having their own languages, will join the EU, thus making the situation even worse. The problem is not just cost; there are practical difficulties as well. With 12 languages, there are 132 possible translation situations that might be needed. It is often difficult to find people in the right place at the right time who can translate from (for example) Danish into Greek, or Dutch into Portuguese, at a high professional standard. In practice the problem has been made less severe by the use of English in many contacts between EU officials, since almost all of them speak some English. However, any move to reduce the number of official languages (perhaps to four or five) would be a blow to the pride of the smaller Countries. Another monly suggested solution is to make English the official language for all EU business. However, this is strongly resisted by powerful member countries like France and Germany.71. The organization that eventually became the EU . A. was started by France and Germany B. started with three countries C. was set up by the Treaty of Rome D. included 132 languages72. Whats the main purpose of this passage? A. To give a solution to a problem. B. To find out a problem and show how severe it is. C. To criticize the European Union for inefficiency. D. To show that the problem cannot be solved.73. According to the writer, the use of English in contacts among EU officials has . A. angered the officials who dont speak English B. reduced the number of official languages C. reduced the effect of the problem D. been opposed by powerful member countries74. The writer mentions Danish into Greek as an example of . A. a situation that might be difficult to deal with B. a situation that occurs often C. one of the 12 situations that requires an interpreter D. languages easily being interpreted75. The writer suggests that if the number of official languages was reduced . A. the EU would not know which official languages to choose B. countries whose languages were not used officially would be unhappy C. only languages which are easy to translate would be used officially D. the smaller member countries would be pleased第二卷 （两部分，35分)第四部分 写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节 短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分,满分 10分) 此题要求改正所给短文中的错误。对标有题号的每一行作出判断，如无错误，则在该行右边横线上画一个勾（）；如有错误（每行只有一个错误），则按下列情况改正：此行多一个词：把多余的词用斜线（）划掉，在该行右边的横线上写出该词，并也用斜线划掉。此行缺一个词；在缺词处加一个漏字符号（），在该行右边的横线上写出该加的词。此行错一个词：在错的词下画一条横线，在该行右边的横线上写出改正后的词。注意：原行没有错的不要改。 I have a good friend whos name is Li Ying.
