Its a new way of thinking. You can use a car but you dont need to own it. Now the idea of “car sharing” has become 36 in many countries. As we know, most cars are parked in garages for much time. In fact, we drive our own cars as long as one or two 37 a day on average. When we dont use them, we have to pay for parking and 38 things. That coats too much money. To save money, some people come up with the idea of “car sharing”. If we share a car, well only 39 when we use it. Now many people are starting to do car sharing. In Switzerland, almost 40.000 people have joined it. Japan is also trying to make 40 popular around the country. ( )36. A popular B. interesting C. funny( )37. A. hour B. hours C. minutes( )38. A. other B. others C. another( )39. A. spend B. cost C. pay( )40. A. time saving B. money saving C. car sharing B Do you want to be successful in everything you do? If so, then _41_？ Here is an example. There was a farmer who _42_ corn (玉米) all his life.Each year he took his corn to the market.Then each time his corn was chosen as the _43_ and won the first prize. One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something surprising about how he grew it.The farmer _44_ seed (做种子的) corn to his neighbors. “How can you share your best seed corn with your neighbors？” the reporter asked.“You know they are taking part in the _45_ with you each year.” “Why, sir,” said the farmer, “didnt you know？The wind picks up pollen (花粉) from the corn and moves it quickly from field to field.If my neighbors grow _46_ corn, crosspollination (异花传粉) will affect the quality of my corn.So if I want to grow good corn, I must _47_ my neighbors to grow good corn.” The farmer knows much about the connection of life.His corn cannot improve _48_ his neighbors corn improves. As a great man says, “We make a living by what we _49_, but we make a life by what we give.” We cant live without food, clothes, and many other things.However, a meaningful life is not decided by how much we can get, but by how much we can give others.Giving, instead of taking, makes us different from other animals.So those who choose to live well must help others to live well and those who choose to be happy must help others to find _50_ in their life.()41.A.why B.how C.when D.where()42.A.grew B.bought C.sold D.collected()43.A.cheapest B.prettiest C.best D.shortest()44.A.lent B.showed C.offered D.provided( )45.A.game B.fight C.experiment D.competition()46.A.tasty B.bad C.tall D.unusual()47.A.teach B.remind C.help D.require()48.A.unless B.though C.because D.when()49.A.do B.own C.get D.grow()50.A.hope B.success C.friendship D.happiness第三部分 阅读理解（共三小节，共40分）第一节 短文理解（共30分）阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分) 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。A Many students have already had clear ideas about what jobs they would like to have in the future.
