the first friend calculates that the bear will catch them in 27.3 seconds. at that point, she panics, realizing there is no escape. she faces her friend, with the fear of death in her eyes. to her amazement, she observes that her friend is not scared at all. on the contrary, her friend is quickly but calmly taking off her hiking boots and putting on running shoes. “what do you think youre doing?”the first hiker says to her companion. “youll never be able to run faster than that bear”. “thats true,” says the companion,“but all i have to do is escape, faster than you.”we all compete when the motivation is strong enough. however, competition is not the real purpose of life. fulfilling the measure of our creation can only be achieved individually.most of time, we are not in competition with any other person, so we do not have to compare ourselves with others. there is only one person that can fulfill our role and that is us. this means that others cannot beat us to the finish line because there is no race. this is not to say that others do not have a similar role to us, but it is never the same. this is important to understand if we are going to enjoy life. every human being is unique and cannot be cloned. in this, i am not referring to the body, only to the spirit, soul, or the essence of a person.72. the first 4 paragraphs tell us that competition . a. is necessary though harmful b. only exists in sports and business c. is unavoidable and beneficial d. is a fight against oneself73. why is the story of two friends told in the passage? a. to advise friends to be loyal even in competition. b. to expose the weak side of friendship when tested. c. to support the authors own argument on competition. d. to persuade people to beat others, even friends. 【答案】c【解析】由第2段作者提出他对竞争的观点，第三段the following story makes this point.可知讲故事是为了证明自己的观点，故c为正确答案。【考点定位】考查作者写作意图题。74. from the last two paragraphs we learn that . a. competition plays an important role in social development b. we dont have to compete since we are all different c. we have to beat others in order to survive d. there is more to life than just competition75. as a whole the passage advises the readers to . a. realize we are living in a world of competition b. face competition in a balanced state of mind c. have a strong sense of being a possible winner d. value friendship however fierce competition may be阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项。1. six hours free parking if you spend $ 100 or more in our stores you will receive six hours of free parking. when you have spent $100 or more, just take this coupon and your receipt to the customer service desk on level 4. they will stamp your parking ticket to allow 6 hours of free parking.offer here until november 14. 2. win a $1000 cd collection win your choice of $1000 worth of cds from jb music store. just buy any two cds and your name will go into the competition. select your own prize from our wide variety of rock, pop, jazz and classical music. competition ends november 14. prize drawn on november 21.check store for more information. 3. buy one, get one free buy one shirt or tie at daniels menswear, and get another shirt or tie of the same value free. choose from any of our dress shirts and we will give you another one at no cost. hurry!
