knowing that once i received it i would know how good a writer i really am.when the paper arrived at my classroom, i nearly knocked down five of my classmates to get to the first paper. with a school paper in my hands, i returned to my seat. about a month earlier, i had handed in one of, what i believed to be, my best stories. i named it symbol of success. the head of the english department at my school, professor cullen had said that she would include some reviews of students stories in the latest school paper. professor cullen was known for her rough criticism. impressing her was very hard but i wanted to be the first to do so. i sat at the edge of my seat as i read through the other story reviews. there wasnt one story that got more than three stars .i became calm and wasnt anxious to know my review. it was long after that i heard someone shout out “five stars?! seriously!” from behind me. i turned around and saw the shocked expression of genes face, “peter, your story got five stars!” i couldnt believe what i was hearing. i turned my attention back to my story and saw the five stars at the end of the review that i had not read yet. i looked through the review written by professor cullen. she wrote that i had a gift for story writing.i was proud that i achieved what i thought was impossible .for so long i believed i wasnt as good as i thought i was and that my talent was not enough to cover up my lack of wring skills .but this review proved that i was truly a good writer and that there was a future ahead of me in the field of fiction writing. the review and the five stars meant the world of me. those five stars became the symbol of my success.51. how did the writer get the school paper? a. his teacher gave it to him firstb. he rushed ahead to get the first one by himself.c. his friend helped him get the first one.d. the publisher sent it to him first 52. what can we learn about professor cullen? a. she was very gentle to everyone. b.she was respected by her students.c. she was very cold to her students. d. she seldom praised her students 53. we can learn from this text that peter_. a. had thought his story was better than those of othersb. was always anxious to know the review about him c. didnt know he got five stars until others told himd. looked through a few stories that had got four stars 54. what did professor cullen think of peters story? a. she thought highly of it . b. she thought it was just so-so. c. she thought it was extremely bad d. she doubted if it was written by him.is there anything more important than health? i dont think so. “health is the greatest wealth，” wise people say. you cant be good at your studies or work well when you are ill. if you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, i think you should go to the doctor. the doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest x-rayed. after that, he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. the only thing you have to do is to follow his advice. speaking about doctors advice, i cant help telling you a funny story. an old gentleman came to see the doctor. the man was very ill. he told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. the doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease. he told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. he also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. in other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “eat with pleasure, drink with pleasure and enjoy life as it is.” the doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldnt smoke more than one cigarette a day. a month later the gentleman came into the doctors office. he looked cheerful and happy. he thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.“ but you know, doctor,” he said, “its not easy to begin smoking at my age.”55. the writer thinks that_. a. work is as important as studiesb. health is more important than wealth c. medicine is more important than pleasure d.

following is not true? a. the doctor usually tests his/her blood pressure when a person is ill.b. the man told the doctor he couldnt remember things. c. the man thanked the doctor. d. the man didnt follow the doctors advice. c when we walk on a street or sit down to have a cup of coffee in a small caf in shanghai, we will often see foreign faces at every turn. today, foreigners do not come to shanghai to seek adventures, as they did in the old days, or arrive in the city for a short visit, as some did when china just carried out the opening-up. instead, many foreigners come to shanghai to settle in the city. they are attracted by the life in shanghai and choose to stay in the city. their stay has made shanghai more like an international city. early in the 1990s, a group of western-style buildings emerged at the gubei new district in the southwestern part of the hongqiao development zone in shanghai. the western-style buildings, marked by their great arches and the typical flavors of the unique european style, appealed to many foreigners and become their favorite choice when they came to live or work in shanghai. foreigners gathered in the zone, enjoying their quiet life there. as the city further develops, more and more foreigners choose to live in the downtown area where most native shanghai people live. they live close to local residents and gradually become interated(一体化)into the local lifethey learn to cook local dishes, they learn to speak the shanghai dialect and they celebrate traditional chinese holidays together with native people. their lifestyle is becoming more and more similar to that of local residents. in the past, foreigners that came to shanghai were mostly representatives(代表)sent to work in the city. today, however, many foreigners that live in the city are students, business starters or ordinary people. related information shows that there are more than 50,000 foreigners living and working in shanghai.59. foreigners used to come to shanghai to_. a. start small cafs b. help build houses c. have a short visit d. learn the shanghai dialect60. the underlined word “emerged”in the second paragraph probably means_. a. built b. stood c. appeared d. lay61. which of the following can be inferred from the text? a. there are fewer foreigners in beijing than in shanghai. b. many foreigners enjoy the traditional chinese festivals. c. it is the foreigners who make shanghai an international city. d. the foreigners came to shanghai to seek for money in the past.62. the best title for this text would be_. a. foreigners settling in shanghai b. the development of shanghai c. the lifestyle of shanghai people d. contributions of foreigners in shanghaid“business is war.” the traditional language of business certainly makes it sound that way: winning the competition, getting market share, beating up suppliers, locking up customers. there are the victors and the losers.but today in doing business, you have to listen to shareholders, work with suppliers, keep good relations-even with competitors. that doesnt sound like war. besides, there are few victors when business is looked upon as war.most businesses succeed only if others also succeed. business is competition and cooperation as well. in other words, business is war and peace.to bring together competition and cooperation, we turn to game theory. game theory provides that whether one person wins or loses depends on what other people do. it is particularly effective when there are many interdependent factors and no decision can be made in isolation from other decisions.game theory breaks down the game into key elements :players, added values, rules, tactics（计谋）, and scope (parts).every element affects the result of the game. this means that each of the five elements gives you a way to change an existing game into an entirely new one. change one of the parts, and you change the whole.why change the game? an old chinese saying explains: if you continue on the course youre heading, thats where youll end up. sometimes thats good, sometimes not. you can play the game very well, and still suffer great loss. thats because youre playing the wrong game: you need to change it. even a good game can be made into a better one. real success comes from actively shaping the game you play-from making the game you want, not taking the game you find.63the author of this passage is _ the idea that “business is war.”aagainst bin favor of cconsidering ddoubtful of64the correct understanding of the underlined sentence in the last paragraph is _.ayou are so competitive that you beat up all of your competitors terriblybyou are really good at playing the game, but you still lose it out cyou play the game too well to suffer great lossdthe competition is so hard that you have to put all your heart into it65the author thinks that _.awe shall play very hard bwe shall continue in the course we are headingcwe shall play in the right direction dwe shall always change no matter the change is good or not66. why does the writer mention game theory?a. to inform the readers of the key elements.b. to explain how competition and cooperation co-exist in business.c. to prove business is war. d. to introduce the chinese old saying. esix years ago, a miami woman walking through the hall of an office building casually noticed two men standing together. several minutes after her leaving, the men murdered a person working in the building. police investigators determined that the woman was the only witness who had seen the two suspects, and could possibly describe them. in an interview with police, her memory of the men proved disappointingly unclear.several days later, psychologist ronald p. fisher was brought in to get a more complete description from the woman. fishers interview produced a breakthrough (突破)the woman reported a clear picture of one of the suspects. she then recalled several details about his appearances. this information gave police important leads that enabled them to arrest the suspects and close the case. police investigators found the help from fisher because of his rich knowledge in conducting the so-called cognitive (认知的) interview, a kind of memory-rebuilding process. in its original form, the cognitive interview focuses on guiding witnesses through four general recalling techniques: thinking about physical surroundings and personal feelings that existed at the time of past events, reporting everything that comes to mind about those events no matter how broken or unconnected, retelling events in kinds of time orders, beginning to end, end to beginning, forward or backward, and accepting different views while recalling events.usually, an interviewer begins the cognitive approach by encouraging the witness to take an active role in recalling information rather than giving answers only to someone elses questions. the witness first describes what happened in his or her own words, with no interviewer interruptions. the interviewer then goes further with specific techniques, such as having the witness tell the details of what happened from different aspects.experiments with police detectives trained in this demanding interview method find that they get nearly 50% more information from witnesses than before training, while error rates remain about the same.67. what is the purpose of this passage?a. to give an description of a murder case in an office.b. to explain why fisher was invited to a police interview.c. to give the readers an
