Abraham Lincoln(1809-1865)Abraham Lincoln was one of Americas greatest leaders, taking the country through the Civil War(from 1860 to 1865). However, his life was never easy. He started numerous businesses that failed. He went bankrupt twice, and was defeated in 26 campaigns for public office. He later said, “My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure. ”Vincent Van Gogh(1853-1890)Van Gogh is one of the most famous and influential painters in the history of Western Art. Hes renowned for paintings such as The Starry Night, The Potato Eaters and Sunflowers. However, during his lifetime, Van Gogh sold only one painting for a very small amount of money. Despite this, he carried on painting, sometimes even going without food so he could plete his collection of over 800 known works. Albert Einstein(1879-1955)Albert Einstein won the Noble Prize in Physics in 1921. However, he wasnt always considered as a “genius”. He didnt speak until he was four, and couldnt read until he was seven. His teachers and parents thought he was slow, so he was expelled from school and couldnt get into the Zurich Polytechnic School. He later famously said, “Success is failure in progress. ”Stephen King(born 1947)Stephen King is one of the best-selling authors of all time, but his first book, Carrie, was rejected by about 30 publishers. Eventually, Stephen threw it in the bin, but his wife fished it out and encouraged him to resubmit it, which he did successfully this time! 21. Who became famous all over the world after his death?

She had three kids under age 7, and was barely keeping up payments on her small two-bedroom home by working extra hours as a waitress. “There were times when I would lie in bed and think, I dont know how Im going to pay that bill,” Mangano says.But he had a special ability for seeing the obvious thing. She knew how hard it was to mop the floor. “I was tired of bending down, putting my hands in dirty water, wringing (拧) out a mop,” Mangano says. “So, There s gotta be a better way.How about a “self-wringing” mop? She designed a special tool you could twist in two directions at once, and still keep your hands clean and dry. She set out to sell it, first a few at flea markers.Then Mangano met with the media. But would couch potatoes (电视迷）buy a mop? The experts on shopping TV were less than certain. They gave it a try, and it failed. Mangano was sure it would sell if theyd let her do the on-camera display. She said, “Get me on that stage, and I will sell this mop because its a great item.”So QVC, a multinational corporation specializing in televised home shopping, took a chance on her. “ I got onstage and the phones went crazy. We sold every mop in minutes.”Today shes president of Ingenious Designs, a multimillion-dollar pany, and one of the stars of HSN, the Home Shopping Network. Talking about the household invention, Mangano says, “It is as natural for me as it is for a parent to talk about their child.”24. What is the first paragraph mainly about?A. Manganos small home. B.

Mangano got the idea of self-wringing mop from her own experience.D. Mangano once had to work seven days a week to support her family.CCities usually have a good reason for being where they are, like a nearby port or river. People settle in these places because they are easy to get to and naturally suited to munications and trade. New York City, for example, is near a large harbour at the mouth of the Hudson River. Over 300 years its population grew gradually from 8 million. But not all cities develop slowly over a long period of time. Boom towns grow from nothing almost overnight. In 1896, Dawson, Canada, was unmapped wilderness(荒野). But gold was discovered there in 1897, and two years later, it was one of the largest cities in the West, with a population of 30,000.Dawson did not have any of the natural conveniences of cities like London or Paris. People went there for gold. They travelled over snow-covered mountains and sailed hundreds of miles up icy rivers. The path to Dawson was covered with thirty feet of wet snow that could fall without warming. An avalanche(雪崩) once closed the path, killing 63 people. For many who made it to Dawson, however, the rewards were worth the difficult trip. Of the first 20, 000 people who dug for gold, 4, 000 got rich. About 100 of these stayed rich men for the rest of their lives.But no matter how rich they were, Dawson was never fortable. Necessities like food and wood were very expensive. But soon, the gold that Dawson depended on had all been found. The city was crowded with disappointed people with no interest in settling down, and when they heard there were new gold discoveries in Alaska, they left Dawson City as quickly as they had e. Today, people still e and go to see where the Canadian gold rush happened. Tourism is now the chief industry of Dawson City its present population is 762.28. What attracted the early settlers to New York City？A. Its business culture.B. Its small population.C. Its geographical position.D. Its favourable climate.29. What do we know about those who first dug for gold in Dawson？A. Two-thirds of them stayed there.B. One out of five people got rich.C. Almost everyone gave up.D. Half of them died.30. What was the main reason for many people to leave Dawson？A. They found the city too crowded.B. They wanted to try their luck elsewhere.C. They were unable to stand the winter.D. They were short of food.31. What is the text mainly about？A. The rise and fall of a city.B. The gold rush in Canada.C. Journeys into the wilderness.D. Tourism in Dawson.DGive yourself a test. Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, youll have no trouble answering these questions.Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A childs day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children bee unclear; we are numb(麻木的）to new stimulation(刺激), new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began plaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted theyd felt cold water at first.Another block to awareness is the obsession(痴迷) many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a ruby-crowned kinglet and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.The pressures of time and destination are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see whats around them. I asked them what theyd seen. Oh, a few birds, they said. They seemed bent on their destinations.Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.32.According to Paragraph 2, pared with adults, children are more _.A.anxious to do wondersB.sensitive to others feelingsC.likely to develop unpleasant habitsD.eager to explore the world around them33.What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3?A.To avoid jumping to conclusions.B.To stop plaining all the time.C.To follow the teachers advice.D.To admit mistakes honestly.34.The bird watchers behavior shows that they _.A.are very patient in their observationB.are really fascinated by natureC.care only about the names of birdsD.question the accuracy of the field guides35.In the passage, the author intends to tell us we should _.A.fill our senses to feel the wonders of the worldB.get rid of some bad habits in our daily lifeC.open our mind to new things and ideasD.try our best to protect nature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。 36 If youre looking for a challenging situation to practice your English, just pick up the telephone. Not being able to see the person youre talking to and the body language theyre using can make chatting on the phone one of the most difficult forms of munication. Never fear, though! Here are some tips to guide you through an average telephone conversation in English.Greetings 37 Even if youre calling a business contact for a specific purpose, itd be rude to jump right into business without a little small talk at the beginning.Getting to the pointThere always es the point, however, where you want to move on from friendly banter(玩笑) and get down to business. 38 If you are waiting to find out why someone called you, you can guide the conversation by saying, “So what can I do for you？”Interrupting without insult (冒犯)If you happen to be speaking with a very talkative person, and youd like to interrupt, be sure to do it politely. For example, begin with “I would like to say something here, if I may” or “Allow me to make a point”Closing the call 39 Sometimes its easiest to just say you enjoyed speaking to the other person. Also, keep in mind that strategically (策略地)saying the word “well” at the beginning of a sentence can indicate that you are ready to end the conversation: 40 .A. It may be the time to offer some good wishes, such as “good luck on that interview”B. Believe it or not, talking on the phone can improve your English.C. You should pick up the phone and say “Hello”D. Every phone call should begin with a polite greeting, such as “Hi, howve you been？”E. You can also make friends by talking to others on the phone.F.
