brothers, mac and dick mcdonald, started a drive-in restaurant in san bernadino, california. they carefully chose a busy corner for their location. they had run their own businesses for years, first a theater, then a barbecue restaurant, then another drive-in. but in their new operation, they offered a new, shortened menu: french fries, hamburgers, and sodas. to this small selection they added one new idea: quick service, no waiters or waitresses, and no tips.their hamburgers sold for fifteen cents. cheese was another four cents. their french fries and hamburgers had a remarkable uniformity(一致性), for the brothers had developed a strict routine for the preparation of their food, and they insisted on their cooks sticking to their routine. their new drive-in became surprisingly popular, particularly for lunch. people drove up by the hundreds during the busy noontime. the self-service restaurant was so popular that the brothers had allowed ten copies of their restaurant to be opened. they were content with this modest success until they met ray kroc.kroc was a salesman who met the mcdonald brothers in 1954, when he was selling milkshake-mixing machines. he quickly saw the special attraction of the brothers fast-food restaurants and bought the right to franchise(特许经营) other copies of their restaurants. the agreement included the right to duplicate(复制) the menu, the equipment, even their red and white buildings with the golden arches. today mcdonalds is really a household name. in 1976, mcdonalds had over $ l billion in total sales. its first twenty-two years is one of the most surprising success stories in modern american business history.21. this passage mainly talks about _.a. the development of fast food services b. how mcdonalds became a billion-dollar businessc. the business careers of mac and dick mcdonald d. ray krocs business talent22. mac and dick managed all of the following businesses except _.a. a drive-in b. a theater c. a cinema d. a

businessbhow fit are your teeth? are you lazy about brushing them? never fear: an inventor is on the case. an electric toothbrush senses how long and how well you brush, and it lets you track your performance on your phone. the kolibree toothbrush was exhibited at the international consumer electronics show in las vegas this week. it senses how it is moved and can send the information to an android phone or iphone via a bluetooth wireless connection. the toothbrush will be able to teach you to brush right (dont forget the insides of the teeth!) and make sure youre brushing long enough. “its kind of like having a dentist actually watch your brushing on a day-to-day basis,” says thomas serval, the french inventor. the toothbrush will also be able to talk to other applications on your phone, so developers could, for instance, create a game controlled by your toothbrush. you could score points for beating monsters among your teeth. “we try to make it smart but also fun,” serval says. serval says he was inspired by his experience as a father. he would come home from work and ask his kids if they had brushed their teeth. they said “yes,” but serval would find their toothbrush heads dry. he decided he needed a brush that really told him how well his children brushed. the company says the kolibree will go on sale this summer, for $99 to $199, depending on features. the u.s. is the first target market. serval says that one day, itll be possible to replace the brush on the handle with a brushing unit that also has a camera. the camera can even examine holes in your teeth while you brush. 25. which is one of the features of the kolibree toothbrush? a. it can sense how users brush their teeth. b. it can track users school performance. c. it can detect users fear of seeing a dentist. d. it can help users find their phones. 26. what can we learn from servals words in paragraph 3? a. you will find it enjoyable to see a dentist. b. you should see your dentist on a day-to-day basis. c. you can brush with the kolibree as if guided by a dentist. d. youd like a dentist to watch you brush your teeth every day. 27. which of the following might make the kolibree toothbrush fun? a. it can be used to update mobile phones. b. it can be used to play mobile phone games. c. it can send messages to other users. d. it can talk to its developers. 28. what can we learn about the future development of the kolibree? a. the brush handle will be removed. b. a mobile phone will be built into it. c. it will be used to fill holes in teeth. d. it will be able to check users teeth. cep portable heaterwe all know that the cost of heating our homes will continue to be a significant burden on the family budget. now millions of people are saving on their heating bills with

the piggy bank strategy (策略). there are lessons in that time-honored coin-savings container.any huge task seems easier when reduced to baby steps. if you wished to climb a 12,000-foot mountain, and could do it a day at a time, you would only have to climb 33 feet daily to reach the top in a year. if you want to take a really nice trip in 10 years for a special occasion, to collect the $15, 000 cost, you have to save $3. 93 a day. if you drop that into a piggy bank and then once a year put $1 ,434 in a savings account at 1% interest rate after-tax, you will have your trip money.when i was a child, my parents gave me a piggy bank to teach me that, if i wanted something, i should save money to buy it. we associate piggy banks with children, but in many countries, the little containers are also popular with adults. europeans see a piggy bank as a sign of good fortune and wealth. around the world, many believe a gift of a piggy bank on new years day brings good luck and financial success. ah, yes, but you have to put something in it.why is a pig used as a symbol of saving? why not an elephant bank, which is bigger and holds more coins? in the middle ages, before modem banking and credit instruments, people saved money at home, a few coins at a time dropped into a jar or dish. potters (制陶工) made these inexpensive containers from an orange-colored clay (黏土) called “pygg”, and folks saved coins in pygg jars. the middle english word for pig was “pigge”. while the saxons pronounced pygg, referring to the clay, as “pug”, eventually the two words changed into the same pronunciation, sounding the “i” as in pig or piggy. as the word became less associated with the orange clay and more with the animal，a clever potter fashioned a pygg jar in the shape of a pig, delighting children and adults. the piggy bank was born.originally you had to break the bank to get to the money, bringing in a sense of seriousness into savings. while piggy banks teach children the wisdom of saving, adults often need to relearn childhood lessons. think about the things in life that require large amounts of money - college education, weddings, cars, medical care, starting a business, buying a home, and fun stuff like great trips. so when you have money, take off the top 10%, put it aside, save and invest wisely.33. what is the piggy bank strategy?a. paying 1% income tax at a time.b. setting a goal before making a travel plan.c. aiming high even when doing small things.d. putting aside a little money regularly for future use.34. why did the writers parents give him a piggy bank as a gift?a. to delight him with the latest fashion. b. to encourage him to climb mountains.c. to help him form the habit of saving. d. to teach him english pronunciation.35. what does the underlined word “something” (paragraph 3) most probably refer to?a. money. b. gifts. c. financial success. d. good luck.36. the piggy bank originally was _.a. a potters instrument b. a cheap clay container c. an animal-shaped dish d. a pig-like toy for childreneyou are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or creator. when you choose to be a victim, the world is a cold and difficult place. “they” did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering. “they” are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as “they” are around. or you may blame yourself for all your problems, thus internalizing (内化) your victimization. the truth is, your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. they know there are individuals who might like to control their lives, but they dont let this get in the way. they know they have their weaknesses, yet they dont blame themselves when they fail. whatever happens, they have choice in the matter. they believe their dance with each sacred (神圣的) moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth.victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities, yet their experience of life is worlds apart. victims relish (沉溺) in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause others-and even themselves-to feel like victims, too. creators consciously choose love, inspiration, and other qualities which inspire not only themselves, but all around them. both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives.in reality, all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives. one person, on losing a job or a special relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months, years, or even a lifetime. another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life.in every moment and every circumstance, you can choose to have fuller, richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.37. what does the word “they” in paragraph 1 probably refer to?a. people and things around you. b. opportunities and problems.c. creators and their choices. d. victims and their sufferings.38. according to paragraph 2, creators _.a. seem willing to experience failures in life b. possess the ability to predict future lifec. handle ups and downs of life wisely d. have potential to create something new39. the examples mentioned in paragraph 4 show that _.a. sinking in sufferings in life pulls people into victims.b. people need family support to deal with challenges in life.c. it takes creators quite a long time to get rid of their pains.d. ones experiences determine his attitude toward life.40. what is the authors purpose in writing this passage?a. to define victims and creators.b. to evaluate victims against creators.c. to explain the relationship between victims and creators.d. to suggest the transformation from victims to creators.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。（注意：此题答案涂在答题卡上。1、如果所选择的答案为a、b、c或d，直接涂该题所对应的位置；2、如果所选择的答案为e，请在该题所对应的答题卡上涂两个字母a和b; 3、如果所选择的答案为f，请在该题所对应的答题卡上涂两个字母a和c;

of us have the wish to play the part of someoneor somethingelse. 41 in the ancient world, acting was often associated with religious ceremonies and other special occasions. as far back as 2200 b.c. trained chinese actors performed ceremonial dances in costume and makeup at harvest festivals. 42 to the dance was gradually added pantomimethe imitation of movements and gesturesas well as the wearing of masks, the singing of chants, and finally the use of dialogue.while acting was coming into its own in the ancient chinese classical theatre, it was doing the same in the western world, in greece. from about 500 b.c. on, acting became a highly specialized art in greece. gr
