more you have in common with the friend, the more his death will make you wonder about your own. sometimes you will naturally say to yourself, “it could just as easily have been me.” such a death has a way of reminding us how fragile life is, and it may cause you to reassess(重新评价) the direction of your own life. jacks story is a good example. a successful businessman making a lot of money, jack didnt spend as much time with his family as he wanted. his job required him to work long hours. but three years ago one of his best friends, a man who worked in the same office, had a heart attack. he died while celebrating his daughters eighteenth birthday in a restaurant. he was only fifty years old. not long after his friends death, jack started to have a chest pain. finally he had a good physical check-up. he received a clean bill of health. but the chest pain continued. he kept thinking of the death of his friend. jack thought about how much his friend missed in life and he saw how hard it was for his friends family to manage after he passed away. jack realized that he didnt want to end up his life that way. he talked his feelings over with his wife and children, and decided to change his way of life. the family moved to a small town where he started a simple life. now he is running a small art gallery(画廊). he is relaxed, and says he has never been so happy in his life. and he has got no more chest pain.36. your close friends death is _ to you.a. a warningb. commonc. a direction of life d. an example37. the underlined sentence in the third paragraph means “_”. a. the doctor didnt write a word on his bill b. the doctor didnt want jack to pay for the bill c. the doctor didnt find anything wrong with him d. the doctor didnt want to treat his pain38. his friends death made jack _. a. lose much interest in life b. realize that he missed the friend very much c. doubt his way of life d. ill for some time39. while living in the small town jack _. a. earns less money b. gets more time c. has a happier life d. does all these mentioned above bthe manager and staff are happy to welcome you and will do all they can to make your stay an enjoyable one.meal timesour

after several years he may get a desk job, and life becomes a bit more settled. lets look at his work a little more closely. in a day he may have to interview the prime minister of a foreign country, and the next day he may be writing about a football match. sometimes he may be so busy that he has hardly any time to sleep. and at other times he may go on for days looking out for news materials yet return empty-handed. in the beginning, a reporter has to cover a very wide field. after the early years he becomes more specialized in his work. for example, he may finally be asked to write only on court cases or politics or sports. some reporters may become so specialized that they are asked only to write on a special thing: horse racing, for example. in most newspaper houses there is at least one special racing correspondent. some newspapers have book reviews. their job is delightful. they read the latest book and then write reviews on the ones they like. then there are those who write on films, so they get to see them even before they are shown in the cinema. how lucky, you would say! a reporters job can also be very dangerous. a number of them have died rushing from one assignment to another, and if there is a flood or a riot(暴乱) they may get hurt or even be killed. three years ago there was a reporter whose camera was smashed by a group of men, because they were angry with him for taking their picture. dangerous or not, one thing is certain, and that is, their job is never dull! d your parents always tell you that a solid education is the key to a successful future. for those of you that will be graduating from high school, the commitment(承诺) you made to complete your schooling has been fulfilled. another few years in some college classroom just doesnt sound too attractive; so what are your choices? lets see, choice 1you can live with your parents, leech on to them, and basically do nothing. or choice 2you could get yourself a job. of course, there are other choices, but for this little discussion, well just suppose that they arent relevant. okay, so choice 2 is obviously going to be more productive. youre finally into the workplace and will be entering the real world. what would be a good place to start? well, hopefully high school helped to give you some sort of an idea of what type of job you would like to enter. if not, then it would be a good idea to speak with an advisor or a person working in the field you may be interested in before you jump into a job that you wont like. gaining knowledge on a particular line of work beforehand can be very effective by helping you in your search to find that job that you will enjoy doing. another reason to research jobs and get some hands on work is related to the fact that it will also be helpful in buffing up your resume and providing you with some valued experience. internships(见习) or volunteering are usually a good place to start. if you are ready to begin a job after high school, the main benefits will clearly be saving money from high college expense and happily making a living in your chosen jobs. from another point of view, jumping into the workplace is sometimes the only way to see for yourself if you are ready to work a 40-hour week yet. if you decide that full time work is not what you are ready for, then this may suggest that you should go back to school and get a degree. besides, a college degree will usually equal higher wages.48. the underlined phrase “leech on to” in the first paragraph might mean “_”.a. help b. depend onc. quarrel with d. take care of49. the best title for this passage might be _. a. going to college b. where should i start c. the advantage of starting work earlier d. jumping into work after high school50. the advantages of starting work right after high school include the following except _. a. saving money b. making sure if you are really ready to work c. getting higher wages d. getting to know if you should go back to school51. which of the following is not mentioned in helping you find a suitable job? a. ideas about jobs gained in high schools. b. experience in work. c. advice from teachers and parents. d. internships and volunteering.52. the writer intends the passage for readers who are _. a. high school studentsb. college graduates c. high school graduates d. graduating high school studentse force other than damaging winds are also at work inside tornadoes(龙卷风). sometimes, as the turning, jumping funnel(漏斗) passes over a house, the walls and ceiling burst apart as if a bomb had gone off inside. this explosion is caused by the low air pressure at the center of a tornado. the pressure at the center of a tornado is usually 13 pounds per square inch. however, inside the house the air pressure is normal, about 15 pounds per square inch. the difference of 2 pounds per square inch between the inside and outside pressure may not seem like much. but suppose a tornado funnel passes over a small building that measures 20 by 10 by 10 feet. on each square inch of the building, there is 2 pounds of pressure from the inside that is not balanced by air pressure outside the building. on the ceiling, that adds up to an unbalanced pressure of 57,600 pounds. the pressure on the four walls adds up to 172,800 pounds. if windows are open in the building, some of the inside air will rush out through them. this will balance the pressure inside and outside the building. but if the windows are shut tightly, the great inside pressure may cause the building to burst. unfortunately, heavy rain happens in thunderstorms that later produce tornadoes. so, people often shut all windows to protect their property. this may cause far worse damage later.第四部分:根据汉语意思完成句子。 (每小题1分, 满分15分)1.
