beethovens music teacher said about him, “ as a composer (作曲家）he is hopeless. ” what if this young boy believed it? when thomas edison was a young boy, his teachers said he was so stupid that he could never learn anything. he once said, “i remember i used to never be able to get along at school. i was always at the foot of my class.father thought i was stupid, and i almost decided that i was a stupid person. ” what if young thomas believed what they said about him? when the sculptor (雕刻家）auguste rodin was young, he had difficulty learning to read and write. today, we may say he had a learning disability. his father said of him, “i have an idiot (白痴）for a son.” his uncle agreed. “ hes uneducable ,” he said. what if rodin had doubted his ability? walt disney was once fired by a newspaper editor because he was thought to have no “good ideas”. enrico caruso was told by one music teacher, “you cant sing. you have no voice at all.”and an editor told louisa may alcott that she was unable to write anything that would have popular appeal. what if these people had listened and become discouraged? where would our world be without the music of beethoven, the art of rodin or the ideas of albert einstein and walt disney? as oscar levant once said, its not what you are but what you don t become that hurts. ” you have great potential. when you believe in all you can be, rather than all you cannot become, you will find your place on earth.24. how many successful people are mentioned as examples in the passage?a. six.b.seven.c. eight.d. nine.25. which of the following

clever.c. he is different. d.he is a late success.27. what is the best title of the passage?a. working hard for successb.believing in yourself c. having dreams d.self-challengingcamericans get some of their news and entertainment from public television and radio. these public media receive money to operate from private citizens, organizations and government. many of their programs are educational. but most of the american media are run by businesses for profit. these privately owned media have changed greatly in recent years. newspapers, magazines and traditional broadcast television organizations have lost some of their popularity. at the same time, online, cable and satellite media have increased in numbers and strength. so have media that serve racial groups and those communicating in foreign languages.in general, more media than ever now provide americans with news and entertainment. at the same time, fewer owners control them. huge companies have many holdings(股份). in some areas, one company controls much of the media. one dramatic change in american media is the increased success of cable television. it comes into most homes over wires. it does not use the public airwaves to present programs, as broadcast television does. like broadcast television, most cable television programs perform advertisements. this is true although people must pay to see cable television in their homes. thirty years ago, few people had cable. today, about sixty-eight percent of american homes have cable television. television by satellite also is gaining popularity.over the years, traditional broadcast organizations have tried to appeal to as many watchers as possible. many cable companies, however, present programs for one special group of viewers. for example, there are cable stations for people who like books, cooking, travel, golf or comedy.28.which of the following is true about american public media?a. they depend on the government. b. they are controlled by the governmentc. they are free d. they can earn money.29.which of the following properly shows the change in these privately owned media?a. newspapers are getting more popular.b. satellite media is getting more popular.c. traditional media also serve racial groups.d. some media make their programs in foreign languages30.from the second paragraph, we learn that .a. cable tv is freeb. more media are out of controlc. american media is dramaticd. broadcast tv and cable tv programs include sales messages31.what would be the best title for the text?a. american news and entertainment b. media in the united statesc. public television and radio media d. cable programs in the united statesdyou never see them, but they are with you every time you fly. they record where youre going, how fast youre traveling and whether everything on your airplane is functioning normally. their ability to stand almost any disaster makes them seem like something out of a comic book. theyre known as the black boxwhen planes fall from the sky, as a yemeni airliner did on its way to the comoros islands in the indian ocean june 30, 2009, the black box is the best bet for identifying what went wrong. so when a french submarine(潜水艇) detected the devices homing signal five days later, the discovery marked a huge step toward determining the cause of a tragedy in which 152 passengers were killed.in 1958, australian scientist david warren developed a flight-memory recorder that would track basic information like altitude and direction. that was the first model for a black box, which became a requirement on all u.s commercial flights by 1960. early models often failed to stand crashes, however, so in 1965 the device was completely redesigned and moved to the rear(尾部)of the plane- the area least subject to impact- from its original position in the landing wells (起落架舱). that same year, the federal aviation authority required that the boxes, which were never actually black, be painted orange or yellow to aid visibility.modern airplanes have two black boxes: a voice recorder, which tracks pilots conversation, and a flight-data recorder, which monitor fuel levels, engine noises and other operating functions that help investigators reconstruct the aircrafts final moments. placed in an insulated(隔绝的) case and surrounded by quarter-inch-thick panels of stainless steel, the boxes can stand massive force and temperatures up to 2,000. when they went under the water, theyre also able to emit signals from depths of 20,000 feet. experts believe the boxes from air france flight 447, which crashed near brazil on june 1,2009, are in water nearly that deep, but statistics say theyre still likely to turn up. in the about 20 deep-sea crashes over the past 30 years, only one planes black boxes were never found.32. what does the author say about the black box?a. it ensures the normal functioning of an airplaneb. the idea for its design comes from a comic bookc. its ability to avoid disasters is incredibled. it is an necessary device on an airplane 33 what information could be found from the black box on the yemeni airliner?a. data for analyzing the cause of the crashb. the total number of passengers on boardc. the scene of the crash and extent of the damaged. homing signals sent by the pilot before the crash34. why did the federal aviation authority require the black boxes be painted orange or yellow?a. to tell them from the color of the planeb. to caution people to handle them with carec. to make them easily identifiedd. to meet international standards35. what do we know about the black boxes from air france flight 447?a. there is still a good chance of their being foundb. there is an urgent need for them to be restructuredc. they have stopped sending homing signalsd. they were destroyed somewhere near brazil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。选项中有两项为多余选项。 while the rest of the world is waking up as the weather turns
