The ice cream he was serving fell onto the white dress of a rich and important woman. Thirty years have passed, but Odland can not get the memory out of his mind, nor the womans kind reaction. She was shocked, regained calmness and, in a kind voice, told the young Odland. “It is OK. It wasnt your fault.” When she left the restaurant, she also left the future Fortune 500 CEO with a life lesson: You can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she treats the waiter.Odland isnt the only CEO to have made this discovery. Instead, it seems to be one of those few laws of the land that every CEO learns on the way up. Its hard to get a dozen CEOs to agree about anything, but most agree with the Waiter Rule. They say how others treat the CEO says nothing. But how others treat the waiter is like a window into the soul.Watch out for anyone who pulls out the power card to say something like, “I could buy this place and fire you,” or “I know the owner and I could have you fired.” Those who say such things have shown more about their character than about their wealth and power.The CEO who came up with it, or at least first wrote it down, is Raytheon CEO Bill Swanson. He wrote a best-selling book called Swansons Unwritten Rules of Management. “A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter, or to others, is not a nice person,” Swanson says. “I will never offer a job to the person who is sweet to the boss but turns rude to someone cleaning the tables.” 21. What happened after Odland dropped the ice cream onto the womans dress?A. He was fired. B. He was blamed. C. The woman forted him. D. The woman left the restaurant at once.22. Odland learned one of his life lessons from .A. his experience as a waiter B. the advice given by the CEOsC. an article in Fortune D. an interesting best-selling book23. According to the text, most CEOs have the same opinion about _.A. Fortune 500 panies B. the Management RulesC. Swansons book D. the Waiter Rule24. From the text we can learn that _.A. one should be nicer to important people B. CEOs often show their power before othersC. one should respect others no matter who they are D. CEOs often have meals in expensive restaurantsBWindows 8, apart from Windows 95, is the biggest surprise and the only version of Microsoft s operating system that has been changed from the core（核心）when pared to its former one. However, a recent study has shown that under 20% of business owners would be willing to upgrade to the new version of Windows. The reason for this remains to be discussed and debated, and we will try to throw light on this research by providing you with some of the most mon advantages and disadvantages of Windows 8.Generally speaking, there are a great number ofplus sidesrelated to upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 8.Speed This is the biggest advantage to mention. Boot time has been reported to be up to nine times shorter than that with Windows 7.New passwords Instead of typing your passwords, Windows 8 will let you use gestures on your favorite photos to enter your password. This is not only practical but also extremely cool!Windows 8 experience Apart from puters, Windows 8 will be used on all devices, including smart phones, tablet PCs and so on. Also, owing to the fact that it has been specifically designed with touch screen users in mind, Windows 8, besides using keyboard and mouse, will offer a whole new user experience.However, there are still some disadvantages.The first one that has to be mentioned is that there is no Start Menu from Windows. Yes, there is no Start button in the lower left corner, and this might be a real puzzle of many Windows users. Also, many users have had a problem to get used to the new interface（界面）introduced by Windows 8. The biggest problem that is worth noticing is that Windows 8 was originally designed for touch screen users, and this may have a bad effect on desktop users who have gotten used to doing everything with the help of their keyboard and mouse.25. What does “plus sides” in Paragraph 2 probably refer to?A. Math symbols. B. Strengths. C. New rules. D. Messages.26. The most attractive aspect of Windows 8 is its .A. fast rate B. plex passwords C. unique experience D. new interface27.

Many Windows 8 users will face the problem that .A. they dont get accustomed to the new interfaceB. they have to use fingerprints instead of buttonsC. keyboard and mouse cant be used any longer D. Start Menu is hidden in the lower left corner CThe largest land animal remaining on the earth, the African elephant is of much importance to African ecosystem. Unlike other animals, the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment. As a giant plant-eater, it significantly shapes the forest-and-savanna (大草原) surroundings in which it lives, therefore deciding the conditions of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat. It is the elephants great desire for food that makes it both a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat. In its continuous search for the 300 pounds of plants it must have every day, it kills small trees and underbushes, as well as pulls branches off big trees. This results in numerous open spaces in not only deep tropical forests but also the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas. In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth, which attract a variety of other plant-eaters. Take the rain forests for example. In their natural state, the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor. By pulling down trees and eating plants, elephants create open spaces, allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor. In such situations, the forests bee suitable for large-hoofed plant-eaters to move around and for small-sized plant-eaters to obtain their food as well. Scientists are worried now that the African elephant has bee an endangered species. If the elephant dies out, scientists say, many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna, greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem. 29. What is the passage mainly about?A.Disappearance of African elephants.B.Forests and savannas as habitats for African elephants.C.The effect of African elephants search for food.D.The eating habit of African elephants.30.

A. it creates open areas in deep tropical forests as well as woodlands B. it pulls off the branches and leaves, shutting out the sunshine C. its eating habit can be made use of by large-hoofed and small-sized animals D. it encourages some kinds of plants growing in an indirect way31. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true? A. Numerous grown plants are the favorites of plant-eaters. B. The extinction of the African elephant has nothing to do with the ecosystem. C. Quantities of plants are consumed by African elephants, including branches and underbushes. D. The forest floor in rain forests is scarcely dotted with new shoots. 32. The passage is developed mainly by .A. presenting the changes in time order B. making parisons and giving examplesC. classifying similarities and differences D. showing the effect and then explaining the reasons DEvery year in America, high-school students who want to go to college take a national examination called the Scholastic Aptitude Test, or SAT in a shortened way. Their score is an important factor in determining which colleges will admit them. The Scholastic Aptitude Test measures ones mathematical ability and use of the English language. Traditionally, the English part involved grammatical questions and paragraphs that test reading prehension. But the SAT folks have added a single question, to be answered in an essay, handwritten on the spot. Thats an interesting way to test writing ability, but content aside, have you ever seen young peoples handwriting lately? Or anyones for that matter, in this age of puter keyboards? Students write numbers and sign their names on bank checks. Theyscribbleclass notes in what can generously be described as the written word. Yet todays kids are asked to write, thoughtfully and clearly, for several minutes on this SAT Test. Good luck to the text scorers who must work out difficultly the scrawl (潦草的笔迹)of young people whove been typing on puters since the age of three! Teachers insist that good handwriting can not only help ones score on the SAT, but also, later on in life, impress potential employers. And dont forget, we all have to turn to handwriting from time to time, as puters go down when power goes out.Then how to improve the handwriting? Well, with a few simple steps you can improve your handwriting.Position the pen. You should hold the pen between the forefinger and the thumb. You should then rest it near the first knuckle（指节）of the middle finger. The rest of your fingers should be curled （卷曲) under your hand and your hand should remain relaxed.Evaluate your handwriting. What do you like and what you dont like about the way you write? Make changes to your letters till you like how they look.Take your time. Make sure that, while you are writing, you take your time. Speed is bound to make your writing messy- looking. If it is worth writing well, then take your time.Practice. Practice it a lot; its not enough to do it once and hope for the best. It has to be something you work at to make great improvements.33.

I have some ideas, though, of how to be free from fear.l Experience fear.I used to be very afraid of speaking in front of people. I would get sweaty palms and my stomach would be so tied up that I wouldnt be able to eat. However, each time I spoke, I noticed afterwards that it wasnt that bad. Things I fear are never as bad in reality as I make them out in my mind. 37 l Create space.The first and most important step to being fearless is to create some space between ourselves and the emotion of fear. This isnt acplished by ignoring the fear, or trying to talk ourselves out of it. 38 In fact, a recent research shows that by simply admitting the emotion we actually begin to reverse the fight or flight(逃避) response in the body.l Control the breath and feel the fear.Once we acknowledge the presence of fear, the second step is to control the breathing so that it bees slower and gentler. We try to make the breath just a little bit longer, and feel how fear manifests(展现) in the body. 39 With practice, we can create enough space between us and the emotion of fear so that were able to replace a fearful thought with a positive one. 40 For instance, before I get up to speak in front of a group of people, I imagine that the audience is positively impressed by what I say and that I manage to plete the speech successfully.A. Space is created only when we can honestly acknowledge that fear exists.B. We can imagine a positive oute for whatever were about to do.C. Fear, if left uncontrolled, can even destroy our life.D. So one way to get rid of fear is to simply push ourselves to do things that we fear.E. When we can see a positive oute in our mind, fear no longer holds us back.F. But fear is more than just physically unpleasant. G. As we pay attention to the physical symptoms of fear, we can see fear objectively.第三部分: 英语知识运用( 共两节, 满分45分)第一节：完形填空 (共 20 小题; 每小题 1.5 分, 满分 30 分)阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的四个选项 (A、B、C和D) 中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。A senior monk and a junior monk were traveling together.
