a teenager. he went to college only after the encouragement and support of his older siblings (兄弟姐妹), who also helped him.“i was born on a rice farm very, very poor,” wang told the wall street journal

capitalism was going on.he established the company that is now byd in 1995, borrowing $300,000 from a cousin, and started out making batteries for cellphones. today, the company still makes phone batteries but also produces gasoline- fueled cars that have made byd a top-10 auto brand in china.the company, listed on the hong kong stock exchange since 2002, is also getting ready to sell electric cars to private buyers and launch an all-electric battery car model soon in china. all this has helped byd attract investors attention, including from one of warren buffetts companies, and has helped enrich wang as byds share price has increased.wangs fast climb shows personal struggle is still working in china even as the country faces widening gaps between the haves and the have-nots.“because i

_ . a. magazine b. travel guide c. textbook d. novelda funny thing happened on the way to the communications revolution: we stopped talking to one another. i was walking in the park with a friend recently, and his cell phone rang, interrupting our conversation. there we were walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and. i became invisible, absent from the conversation. the telephone used to connect you to the absent. now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent. why is it that the more connected we get, the more disconnected i feel? every advance in communications technology is a tragedy to the closeness of human interaction（互动）. with email and instant messaging over the internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another. with voice mail, you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone. if my mom has a question, i just leave the answer on her machine. as almost every contact we can imagine between human beings gets automated（自动化）, the alienation index（疏远指数） goes up. you cant even call a person to get the phone number of another person any more. directory assistance is almost always fully automated. i am not against modern technology. i own a cell phone, an atm card, a voice mail system, and an email account. giving them up isnt wise. theyre a great help to us. its some of their possible consequences that make me feel uneasy. more and more. i find myself hiding behind email to do a job meant for conversation. or being relieved that voice mail picked up because i didnt really have time to talk. the industry devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier .or at least facilitating my antisocial instincts.so ive put myself on technology restriction: no instant messaging with people who live near me, no cell phoning in the presence of friends, no letting the voice mail pick up when im at home.32which of the following would be the best title of the passage? a. the advance of communications technology b. the consequences of modern technology c. the story of communications revolution d. the automation of modern communications33the sentence “now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent” means that _. a. the people sitting beside you have to go away to receive a phone call b. you can hardly get in touch with the people sitting beside you c. modern technology makes it hard for people to have a face-to-face talk d. people can now go to work without going to the office34the writer feels that the use of modern communications is _. a. satisfying b. encouraging c. disappointing d. embarrassing35the passage suggests that _. a. modern technology is bridging the people b. modern technology is separating the people c. modern technology is developing too fast d. modern technology is interrupting our communication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。选项中的两项为多余选项。the winners guide to successhow do successful people think? what helps them to make success? to find out the answers, an american scholar recently visited some of the most successful people in america. 36 be responsible for yourselfsometimes you may want to blame others for your failure to get ahead. 37 youre saying, “you have more control over my life than i do.”live life “on purpose”almost all successful people live life “on purpose” they are doing what they believe they should and want to do. when you live your life on purpose, youll try your best to do your job or study as well as you can. you love what you do and you can find pleasure in what you do.write a planit is very difficult trying to get what you want without a good plan. 38 a good plan is like a map to you. without this “map”, you may waste your time, money and also your energy; while with the “map” youll enjoy the “trip” and get what you want in the shortest possible time.be willing to pay the pricenothing great is easy to get. so you must be ready to work hard even harder than you have ever done. if you are not willing to pay the price, you wont get anything valuable.never give up 39 when you are doing something, you must tell yourself again and again: giving up is worse than failure because failure can be the mother of success, but giving up means the death of hope. 40 once an american writer was writing a novel. he could not have a good ending for his book until one night when he had a very good idea. he was so excited that he made a phone call to one of his best friends. “ive got a perfect idea,” he said, “ill put it down later and show it to you.” but he never did, because he died that night. his book was left without a perfect ending. so remember, do what you can right away. never delay at all. a. in fact, when you say someone or something outside of yourself is stopping you from making success, youre giving away your own power.b. it is just like trying to drive through strange roads to a city far away.c. some people achieve success much later in life
