1852. his family were very poor farmers, and there was never enough to eat. frank decided he did not want to be farmer. he took a short business course, and went to work as a salesman in a large city.woolworth realized he had a natural skill for showing goods to attract peoples interest, but he soon learned something more important. one day his boss told him to sell some odds and ends (小商品 ) for as much as he could get. frank put all these things on one table with a sign which said five cents each. people fought and pushed to buy the things and the table was soon cleared.soon afterwards, woolworth opened his own store., selling goods at five and ten cents. but he had another lesson to learn before he became successful. that is, if you want to make money by selling low-price goods, you have to buy them in large quantities directly from the factories. once, for example, woolworth went to germany and placed an order for knives. the order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a whole year. in this way, the price of the knives was cut down by half.by 1919, woolworth had over 1000 stores in the us and canada, and opened his first store in london. he made many millions and his name became famous throughout the world. he always run his business according to strict rules, of which the most important was: “ the customer is always right.”21. frank took a short business course in order to _. a. earn more money for his family b. get away from the farm c.learn something from a salesman d. get enough to eat.22. frank sold the odds and ends quickly because _. a. he cut down the price by half b. he knew how to get people to buy his goods. c. he had put the goods on a table in a very nice way. d. the sign he put on the table was well designed.23. the price of the knives was cut down by half because _. a. the factory workers worked 24 hours a day. b. the knives were produced in one factory. c. the knives were made in germany, where labour (劳动力) was cheap. d. knives were ordered in large quantities directly from the factory.24. 24. _ make woolworth a world-famous man. a. his business skills and his wealth. b. the low price of the goods he sold. c. his trip to germany and his huge order of knives. d. his natural skill for showing things.b we each have a memory. thats why we can still remember things after a long time. some people have very good memories and they can easily learn many things by heart, but some people can only remember things when they say or do them again and again. many of the great men of the world have got surprising memories.a good memory is a great help in learning a language. everybody learns his mother language when he is a small child. he hears the sounds, remembers them and then he learns to speak. some children are living with their parents in foreign countries. they can learn two languages as easily as one because they hear, remember and speak two languages every day. in school it is not so easy to learn a foreign language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other subjects, too.but your memory will become better and better when you do more and more exercises.25、some people can easily learn many things by heart because .athey always sleep very wellbthey often eat good foodcthey have very good memoriesdthey read a lot of books26、in school the pupils cant learn a foreign language well because .athey have no good memoriesbthey have no recorderscthey have too much time for itdthey are busy with other subjects27、your memory will become better and better .aif you do more and more exercisesbif you have plenty of good foodcif you do morning exercises every daydif you get up earlycabout ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. women are luckier; only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman! there are different forms of color blindness. in some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. he may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. in rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green a strange world indeed.color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. in a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. these help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. there are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. they show us shape but no color.some insects have favorite colors. mosquitoes prefer blue to yellow. a red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. in a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. yet we are lucky. with the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. one day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.28. the passage is mainly about _. a. color blindness b. women being luckier than men c. danger caused by color blindness d. color and its surprising effects.29. according to the passage, with the help of the “cones”, we can_. a. tell different shapes b. tell orange from yellow c. kill mosquitoes d. see in a weak light30. why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women? a. women are more careful. b. there are fewer color-blind women c. women are fonder of driving than men. d. women are weaker but quicker in thinking.31. which of the statements about the color- blind is true? a. all of them see everything in shades of green. b. none of them can see deep red. c. none of them can tell the difference between blue and green. d. not all of them have the same problem in recognizing color.dmany people go to school for a good education. they learn languages, history, maths and other lessons. school education is very important and useful. yet no one can learn everything from school. no matter how much a teacher knows, he cannot teach his students everything they want to know. his work is to show his students how to learn. he teaches them how to read and how to think. so, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves. it is always more important to know how to study by oneself. it is quite easy to learn something in a language or a formula（公式） in maths，but it is difficult to use a formula in finding the answer to a maths problem . great inventors do not get everything from school but they can invent many things and change the world a lot. though thomas edison invented many things he didnt have much school education. how do they do all these? because they know how to study. a lot of things are not taught in the classroom. they get knowledge from books outside school. they work hard all their lives, and the most important thing is that they know how to use their head. 32. what do many people go to school for? a. to make friends b. to get everything c. to study by themselves d. to get a good education 33. what should a student learn to do from school? a. try to remember more knowledge and formulas. b. try to learn how to read and how to think. c. try to remember what the teachers teach. d. try to invent the world. 34. how can an inventor invent things? the most important thing is how to: a. be a great inventor b. study by himself c. use his head well d. remember what hes been taught 35. what is the main idea of this passage? a. school education is important for a person. b. a student should learn how to remember a formula. c. a student can not learn everything from school.d. inventors can invent things and change the world a lot.第二节 （共五题，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。其中两项为多余选项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. it is just like trying to drive through strange roads to a city far away.b. it seems to us that everyone knows this. but it is easier said than done.c. some people achieve success much later in life because they fail to realize earlier the importance of hard work.d. in fact, when you say someone or something outside of yourself is stopping you from making success, youre giving
