we will see humality lossing their grace and dignity, and that would be disastrous. id like to think society as a courage and people persumed for profit or fame as a horese that pulls the courage. yet without the driver picking direction the courage would go straight and may even end out in a precarious situation.a certificate may give you some advantage, but broad horizons, positive attitudes and personal integrities（正直）,these are assets you cannot acquire through any quick fixed way. in todays world, whether highest level of competition is not of skills or expertise（专业）, but vision and strategy. your intellectual quality largely determinds how far you can go in your career.63the authors autinuade toward todays college education is .apositivebcautiousccriticalddoubtful64many college students choose to major in business because .aa businessman is very likely to make big moneybstudying business is less competitivectoo many students have chosen computing programming dcomputing programming is not a must for them65the author does strongly suggest that .amore competition be encouraged on college campusbpeople not ignore the value of broad horizons, positive attitude and personal integritiescintellectual quality determine how far one can go in his careerdcollege students get as many part time jobs as possible66in the authors opinion, .acollege students are not pragmatic enoughbcollege students should have drivers pick direction for themccollege education should provide students more business coursesdcollege education should value the cultivation of students mindsdonce when i was six years old i saw an amazing picture in a book called true stories from naturc about the primeval forest. it was a picture of a boa constriotor（大蟒蛇）in the act of swallowing an arimal. in the book it said: boa constrictors swallow their prey whole, without chewing it. after that they are not able to move, and they sleep through the six months that they need for digestion.i thought deeply then over the adventures of the jungle. and after some work with a colored pencil i succeeded in making my first drawing. my drawing number one. i showed my masterpiece to the grown-ups, and asked them whether the drawing frightened them. but they answered: frighten? why should any one be frightened by a hat?my drawing was not a picture of a hat. it was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant. but since the grown-ups were not able to understand it, i made another drawing: i drew the inside of a boa constrictor, so that the grown-ups could see it clearly. they always need to have things explained. thats my drawing number two.the grown-ups response, this time, was to advise me to lay aside my drawings of boa constrictors, whether from the inside or the outside, and devote myself instead to geography, history, arithmetic, and grammar. that is why, at the age of six, i gave up what might have been a great painter. i had been disheartened by the failure of my drawing number one and my drawing number two. grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.so then i chose another profession, and learned to pilot airplanes. i have flown a little over all parts of the world; and it is true that geography has been very useful to me. at a glance i can distinguish china from arizona. if one gets lost in the night, such knowledge is valuable.in the course of this life i have had a great many encounters with a great many people. and that hasnt much improved my opinion of them. whenever i met one of them who seemed to me at all clear-sighted, i tried showing him my drawing number one, which i have always kept. i would try to find out if this was a person of true understanding. but, whoever it was, he, or she would always say: that is a hat. then i would never talk to that person about boa constrictors, or primeval forests, or stars. i would bring myself down to his level. i would talk to him about bridge, and golf, and politics and neckties. and the grown-up would be greatly pleased to have met such an intelligent man.67the writer drew his first picture in order to .ashow the grown-ups what the book was aboutbfrighten the grown-ups trying to enter the forestcremind himself of the adventures of the jungledillustrate a boa constrictor act of digesting an animal68how did the writer understand the grown-ups response to his second drawing?ahe was actually only good at academic study.bit was a waste of time for him to keep on drawing.che has difficulty in communicating with the adults.dhe was good at anything but geography.69the underlined word disheartened in paragraph 4 could most probably be replaced by .adiscouragedbdissatisfiedcdiscriminatedddisturbed70which of the following statements is true?athe writer could have become a pilot if encouraged when young.bthe writer finally changed his opinion of grown-ups.cthe writer has been showing his two pictures to others ever since.dthe writer felt nobody could have really understood him.第四部分：任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填1个单词。a judge in los angeles has sentenced michael jacksons personal physician to four years in prison for the 2009 death of the pop superstar.los angeles superior court judge michael pastor tuesday handed the sentence to dr. conrad murray, who was convicted earlier this month of involuntary manslaughter(过失杀人) in jacksons death. murray, however, could serve only half his sentence due to overcrowding in californias prison system.in issuing the sentence, the judge described murray as a reckless physician whose actions were a disgrace to the medical profession. pastor also said murray was involved in horrible medicine that included a sophisticat
