It was my mothers idea. She wanted me to “make something” of myself, and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the petition.With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several hours I made myself highly visible, making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. When it was supper time, I walked back home.“How many did you sell, my boy?” my mother asked.“None.”“The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”“What did you do?”“Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.”“You just stood there?”“Didnt sell a single one.”“My God, Russell!”Uncle Allen put in, “Well, Ive decided to take the Post.” I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickle (五分镍币). It was the first nickle I earned.Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence, and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.One day, I told my mother Id changed my mind. I didnt want to make a success in the magazine business.“If you think you can change your mind like this,” she replied, “youll bee a good-for-nothing.” She insisted that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said no, she would scold me.My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied with my fathers plain workmans life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people. But never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husbands people for true life and love.36Why did the boy start his job young?AHe wanted to be famous in the future BThe job was quite easy for him.CHis mother had high hopes for him. DThe petition for the job was fierce.37From the dialogue between the boy and his mother, we learn that the mother was _.AexcitedBinterested Cashamed Ddisappointed 38What did the mother do when the boy wanted to give up?AShe forced him to continue. BShe punished him.CShe gave him some money. DShe changed her plan.39The phrase “this battle” in the last paragraph refers to .Athe war between the boys parentsBthe arguing between the boy and his motherCthe quarrel between the boy and his customersDthe fight between the boy and his father40What is the text mainly about?AThe early life of a journalist. BThe early success of a journalist.CThe happy childhood of the writer.DThe important role of the writer in his family.BAs you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home puter, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them. Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year.One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs, leaving their two children with a nanny. Most evenings Daniel wouldnt get home until eight or nine oclock and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. “I always wanted to have a farm then,” says Daniel, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. Its taken some getting used to, but its been worth it. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think its made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.Liz, however, is not quite sure. “I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. Im not really a country girl, but I suppose Im gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.”41The passage tells us that _.Apeople seldom work long hours to make moneyBpeople hardly buy more things than necessaryCpeople are sure everything they own is in the right placeDpeople realize there is more to life than just making money42When Daniel was a reporter he _.Alived in central London Bdisliked his jobCmissed his children Dwas well paid43Daniel and Liz both agree that the move to the farm _.Awas easy to organize Bhas improved family lifeCwas extremely expensive Dhas been a total success44What does the author mean by saying “the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives” in the second paragraph?APeople work long hours to earn their living.BTo make more money through hard work is the aim of peoples life.CLong hours of hard work occupy too much of peoples life.DPeople spent too much time and money eating meals.45The underlined word “downshifting” in the second paragraph refers to _.Arepairing your car by yourselfBspending money carefullyCmoving out to the countryside to live a simpler and better lifeDliving in a big house in the suburbs and dining out once a weekCCyril was a small town. The houses there were all made of wood; almost everything in the houses such as cupboards, tables and chairs were made of wood, too. And all the houses faced south. The town was never peaceful. Fire broke out once a week on summer afternoons. Residents were puzzled who the real firebug(纵火犯) was.One day a big fire broke out. It was said that a Negro had jumped out of the house on fire, so the police arrested all the Negroes in the street. However, fire never stopped to breaking out when the Negroes were in prison.Mauson, a physics teacher didnt believe that the Negroes were the firebugs, for he really knew about those Negroes, He made up his mind to find out who the real firebug was.One day he was invited to drink in a pub and happened to notice that many bottles and plastic plates were baked by the hot sunrays. Suddenly he realized what the actual fact was. He jumped with joy, saying, “Ive got the answer!”Mauson dashed out of the pub to his friends house nearby, which also faced south. He made an experiment there to confirm his idea.The next Saturday afternoon, Mauson asked some policemen and newsmen to e to the house. They were told that the real firebug would be shown there. At that time the sun was shining full into the house and it became hotter and hotter inside the room.Someone wanted to draw the curtains together, while another was going to use a bottle to drink water, but neither got permission from Mauson, who wanted to let the firebug in.“Now,” said Mauson, “this house will soon catch fire.” People looked at each other in surprise. Mauson asked them to look at the bottles and focus on the table cloth. After a while the cloth gave off a burning smell and began to catch fire!The mystery of fire was discovered, but the police wouldnt believe him and insisted that Negroes had been the firebugs. Instead they arrested Mauson and put him into prison. But Mauson said he would never turn against science.46. The town was never peaceful, for fire broke out _. A. in the afternoon B. in summer C. at any time D. A and B47. Why did the police arrest all the Negroes?A. One of them had jumped out of the home on fire.B. They were suspected to be the firebugs.C.

Mauson was put into prison, because _.A. he had told a lieB. he had fund out ht real firebug C. he had turned against scienceD. he had made friends with the NegroesDWhile many modern forms of munication like phone calls, e-mail, and letters, are extremely convenient. In my opinion, nothing beats speaking to another person face to face.The first and most obvious advantage that a face munication has over a letter and e-mail is that there is the ability to interactively(相互作用地)converse. If the sender of a letter or an email does not write clearly, then much time must be spent to clear up the misunderstanding. In a face-to-face conversation, misunderstandings are easily dealt with because of the interactive nature of it.I would still argue that the face-to-face conversation is better because you can see the other person. Not all munication is verbal; the meaning of much of what we say depends on our body language and the tone of voice. Joking and irony are particularly difficult to express and enjoy without seeing the expression on someones face, or watching the movements of their body.Finally, if the goal of munication is to maintain or deepen the relationship(关系)with someone, the face-to-face munication offers the choice of munication by touch even if we could municate by the video. Trust and respect between business partners can be established with a firm handshake. No amount of body language can convey the excitement of a high five between friends, and no number of words can municate the forting embrace of a loved one. Touch is the first basic method of our human relationships, before spoken language, and it is only available when people municate face to face.51. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. How to municate more effectively(有效率地)B. The importance of using body language in municationC. Face-to-face munication, the best way of municatingD. parison(比较)of different munication forms 52. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. A letter or e-mail is always written unclearly.B. Business partners can show trust through a firm handshake.C. During a conversation, body language is also important.D. The face-to-face conversation is a way of munication.53. Which of the following can municate the feeling a loved one perfectly?A. letter B. e-mail C. phone D. face to face munication54. The authors attitude towards forms of munication is _.A. Modern forms of munication like phone calls and e-mail are extremely convenient.B. Traditional ways of munication are out of date and should fall into disuse.C. Face-to-face munication can only be used among strangers.D. Face-to-face munication has advantages over the other ways of munication.55. What does the underlined word “maintain” in last paragraph mean? A .keep B. stand C. destroy D. reduceIV. 基础知识与运用（本大题10分，每小题1分）A. 根据句意，用所给词的适当形式填空，使句意正确，并将答案填写在答题卡。56. One of my students has been _ (behave) quite strange recently.57.
