Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next，she tied several chopsticks together，representing a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However，when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975，they didnt have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Dannys mother，Diana，who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards，Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However，Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard.Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves，but one by one，the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other，they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elisabeth explains，“Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity，and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family，there is no business.”Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996，with three generations of Ans working together. Now the Ans corporation makes more than $20 million each year. Although they began with a small restaurant，they had big dreams，and they worked together. Now they are a big success.21Helene tied several chopsticks together to show _.Athe strength of family unity Bthe difficulty of growing upCthe advantage of chopsticks Dthe best way of giving a lesson22We can learn from Paragraph 2 that the An family _.Astarted a business in 1975 Bleft Vietnam without much moneyCbought a restaurant in San FranciscoDopened a sandwich shop in Los Angeles23What can we infer about the An daughters?AThey did not finish their college education. BThey could not bear to work in the family business.CThey were influenced by what Helene taught them.DThey were troubled by disagreement among family members.24Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?AHow to Run a Corporation BStrength Comes from PeaceC. How to Achieve a Big Dream. D. Family Unity Builds Success. BMy color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldnt fit. I let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day later，when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed-off for the night. Fortunately, I didnt get any channels showing all night movies or I would never have gotten to bed.Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static(静电) noise. For some reason，when certain shows switched into a commercial，a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually，this noise began to appear during a show，and to get rid of it，I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work，and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles(肌肉) shaking my set.When neither of these methods removed the static noise，I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist，and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62，and the set is working well now，but I keep expecting more trouble.25Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?AHe got an older model than he had expected. BHe couldnt return it when it was broken.CHe could have bought it at a lower price. DHe failed to find any movie shows on it.26Which of the following can best replace the phrase “signed off” in Paragraph 1?Aended all their programs Bprovided fewer channelsCchanged to commercials Dshowed allnight movies27How did the author finally get his TV set working again?ABy shaking and hitting it. BBy turning it on and off.CBy switching channels. DBy having it repaired.28How does the author sound when telling the story?ACurious. BAnxious. CCautious. DHumorous.CDolphins (海豚) are not fish, but warm-blooded animals. They live in groups, and speak to each other in their own language. In this way they are like other animals, such as bees and birds. But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals. Their brain is nearly the same size as our own, and they live a long time - at least twenty or thirty years. Like some animals, dolphins use sound to help them find their way around. They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food. We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds, but the lower part of the mouth, called the jaw. Strangely, dolphins seem to like man, and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people. There is a story about sailors in the 19th century. In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand, they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack. From 1871 to 1903 Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way. Then in 1903 a passenger on a boat called The Penguin shot and wounded Jack. He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through the areaexcept for The Penguin. Today, some people continue to kill dolphins, but many countries of the world now protect them and in these places it is against the law to kill them.29. By telling the story of Jack the writer wanted to show that _. A. people are cruel to animals B. dolphins are friendly and cleverC. Jack is different from other dolphins D. dolphins should be protected by law 30. Dolphins are different from many other animals in that they _. A. live in groups B. have their own language C. are warm-blooded D. have large brains31. Which of the following does the dolphin use to help it find its way around? A. Its mouth. B. Its ears. C. Its nose. D. Its eyes. 32. Why did the sailors off the coast of New Zealand look for Jack? A. They wanted his help. B. They enjoyed playing with him. C. He was seriously wounded. D. He was lonely and liked to be with peopleDEveryone knows how the story of Cinderella does everything from sweeping the floor to cooking the meals before she meets the prince. If someone asked Cinderella,” Are there any kinds of household work that you particularly hate?” She probably would answer, “Why, none of course. Housework is my duty!” In the real world, however most people have certain dislikes for some kinds of household work. Two of these tasks are ironing(熨) clothes and washing dishes.Ironing clothes is most hated because it is not a task that can be completed quickly or thoughtlessly. Each piece of clothing must be handled(处理) separately, so ironing a basket of them can take hours! If you do not follow directions carefully, it might become wrinkled and you have to start over. Perhaps that is why ironing is not a favorite thing to do. It calls for extreme attention to detail from beginning to end.Another household job that many people dislike is washing dishes. Of course, some people claim that this work is no longer a problem because we have dishwashers now! However, no one would argue that dishes, silverware, and especially pots and pans washed in a dishwasher dont come out as clean as they do when washed by hand. For this reason, many of us continue to wash our dishes. And it is a job that not only takes a lot of energy but also requires the patience to wash and dry them. In addition, unlike ironing clothes, washing dishes is a thing that usually must be done every day. I dont know how Cinderella felt about this particular task, but I believe that most people hate it as much as I do.33.For Cinderella, doing household work is . A. what she hates to do B. what she is responsible forC. what she loves to do D. what she is content with34.Most people hate to do clothes-ironing because . A. it takes a lot of time B. it has to be done by one personC. it must be handled skillfully D. it needs careful planning35.Many people still prefer washing dishes by hand to machine washing because . A. hand-washed dishes are cleaner B. dishwashers are not so easily handledC. some dishes cannot be washed by machine D. washing dishes by hand is cheaper 第二节 （共5小题，共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。ForgivenessTo forgive is a virtue，but no one has ever said it is easy. When someone has deeply hurt you，it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However，forgiveness is possible，and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health.
