Personally Nike is my favorite oneits so simple. And I liked the stories behind them, which made me forget all other things. McDonalds, Apple, and Mercedes Benz own great logos as well, and they are among my favorites. Nike In the Greek myth, Nike is the goddess of victory and the source of inspiration for soldiers. This logo represents the wing in the famous statue of the Greek goddess. Nikes logo was designed by Carolyn Davidson in 1971 for35, and was registered as a trademark in 1995. McDonalds The logo was designed in 1962 by Jim Schindler to resemble the arch shaped （拱形的） signs on the side of the panys then walkup hamburger stand. Later on, the two golden arches were bined together to form the M. The McDonalds name was added to the logo in 1968. Apple There are different stories behind Apples logo. The first logo was a reference to the religious story of Adam and Eve, in which the apple represented the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. One year later, the second logo was designed in 1977 by Steven Jobs and Ronald Wayne, and it described Sir Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree. This logo didnt stay long. One year later it was replaced almost immediately by graphic designer Rob Janoffs rainbow apple, a rainbowcolored silhouette （轮廓） of an apple with a bite taken out of it. And then the rainbowcolored apple was replaced by the onecolored logo in 1998. It has not been changed so far. Mercedes Benz The Mercedes Benz logo, which was originally created by Gottlieb Daimler in 1909, consists of a simple description of a threepointed star that represents its rule of the land, the sea and the air. The pany was founded by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach. Mercedes is the name of Maybachs elder daughter, while Benz came as a result of a bination with Benz Cie and DMG in 1926.21. What does the author think of the stories of the great logos?A They are boring. B They are attractive. C They are out of date. D They are practical.22. We can learn that Apples present logo is _.A a bitten apple with only one color B Newtons sitting under an apple treeC the religious story of Adam and Eve D the rainbowcolored bitten apple23. Which of the following time orders describes the births of the great logos? A Nike McDonalds Apple Mercedes BenzB Mercedes Benz Apple Nike McDonaldsC Mercedes Benz McDonalds Nike AppleD Nike Mercedes Benz McDonalds AppleBOne day after school, I went to the teachers office to see my teacher, but nobody was there. As I was about to leave, I noticed a piece of paper on the floor. I picked it up and saw the words “FINAL-TERM EXAMINATION” at the top. I put the paper into my school bag secretly and ran out of the room.After I came back home, I took out the paper quickly. It was the exam paper of my worst subject, History. I felt excited. My heart beat fast. I took out my History book and started working on the answer. I had never answered any questions so seriously.On the day of the History exam, I went into the exam hall confidently. When the paper was sent to me, I dreamt of getting the highest mark in the whole grade and could not help smiling. “My History teacher always encouraged me to work hard and get better grades, but I let him down time and time again. This time I will give him a big surprise,” I thought.When the teacher said we could start, I turned the paper over. To my great surprise, all the questions were different. Later I felt nervous. In the end, I almost left the paper undone. After the exam . I ran to the toilet, took out the paper and carefully read it from the top. Oh! It was last years exam paper. I read all the questions but I hadnt read the date.This is a lesson in which I know I have to put my feet on the ground. I regretted doing such a silly thing. After that, I told my teacher the truth and I promised to be honest. From then on, I worked harder than ever before.24. The writer went to the teachers office to _.A. take an exam B ask some questions C. get his school bag D. see his teacher25. The writer always _ in his History exams.A. got high marks B. did silly thingsC. let his teacher down D. left the paper undone26.

Im truly sorry for what I did. Everyone should be honest. Ill .CEnglish is the most widely used language in the history of our planet. One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the worlds books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary perhaps as many as two million words.However, lets face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which arent sweet, are meat.We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (探讨它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them.And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers dont fing, grocers dont groce, and hammers dont ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldnt the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese so one moose, two meese?How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next?English was invented by people, not puters, and it reflects (反映) the creativity of human beings. Thats why, when stars are out, they are visible (能看见的); but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.28. According to the passage _.A. sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different things B. there should be egg in an eggplantC. pineapples are the apples on the pine tree D. boxing rings should be round29. Which of the following is the correct plural(复数)?A. Beeth. B. Geese. C. Meese. D. Tooth.30. Which of the following includes two items which have the similar meaning?A. A wise man and a wise guy. B. Overlook and oversee.C. Quite a lot and quite a few. D. Hot as hell and cold as hell.31. The underlined words “wind up” in the last paragraph probably mean “_”.A. blow B. roll up C. get hurt D. finishDVacation is a time for refreshment. In work, we are often called to think. Sometimes, its good to give our brains a rest. Without a break, we may not be able to perform up to our potential. This can be a problem, not only for the employee, but for the employer as well.“The main benefit of vacation is for the worker to e back energized,” says Weaver. “If they havent had a break, then theyre not ing back with new energy. They havent had a chance to step back and get perspective（远景）, and e back with renewed enthusiasm.”Long working hours without a break, insecurity about ones job, and other work-related worries can lead to burnout and stress. Humans can usually adapt to pressure, but not for a limitless amount of time.“It is a problem of relating good workers and having them loyal to the firm while theyre there,” says David Maume, PhD, professor of sociology at the University of Cincinnati. He says burnout can also affect employees productivity, creativity, and effectiveness.In addition, high levels of stress may lead to depression, which can hit both the employer and employees pocketbook. Even people who manage to remain productive at work can have problems. If theyre always at work, then theyre not with their family and friends. If theyre working while onvacation, for the time that theyre on the job, theyre not really present.An unbalanced emphasis on work can strain family and social life. When you e up for air, you may see that youre alone, or that your relationships have gone on without you.32.Whats the main benefit of a vacation?A. The manager can be more creative. B. The worker can step back and get more excitedC. The worker can e back with new energy.D. The worker can adapt to pressure much better.33.The underlined word “there” in the fourth paragraph probably refers to _.A. the vacation B. the home C. the university D. the pany34.When a worker is always at work, he is likely to get more and more _.A. absent-mindedB. energeticC. skillfulD. active35.Which of the following is the best title of the text?A. How to spend the vacation effectively.B. Why the workers need a vacation.C. How to deal with the daily pressure. D. Why the workers need new energy.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, 并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。“Nature does not hurry, yet everything is acplished.” Lao Tzu If you are in a city where everyone rushes, realize that you dont have to be like everyone else.

Im not going to tell you how to give you a step-by-step guide to moving slower. _36_1. Do less.Cut back on your projects, on your task list, on how much you try to do each day.

Have fewer meetings._38_ And they eat into your day, forcing you to squeeze the things you really need to do into small windows, and making you rush.3. _39_ When you do the some things with focus, without rush, there will be things that get pushed back, and that dont get done. And you need to ask yourself: how necessary are these things? What would happen if I stopped doing them?4. Practice mindfulness. Simply learn to live in the present, rather than things so much about future or the past. When you eat, fully appreciate your food. When you are with someone, be with them fully.
