Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage:Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer.(76) I always encourage such people, but I also explain that theres a big difference between “being a writer and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hour alone at a typewriter. “Youve got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer”. The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didnt even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.After a year or so, however, I still hadnt gotten a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write, I had dreamed about it for years. I wasnt going to be one of those people who die wondering: What if ? (77 ) I would keep putting my dream to the test even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the shadowland of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.1.The passage is meant to _.A.warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experienceB. advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writerC. show young people its unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth and fame D. encourage young people to pursue a writing career2.

Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?A.He wasnt able to produce a single book.B.He hadnt seen aching for the better.C.He wasnt able to have a rest for a whole year.D.He though that he lacked imagination.4. “people who die wondering: What if ?”(Para-3) refers to “those _”.A.who think too much of the dark side of lifeB.who regret giving up their career halfwayC. who think a lot without making a decision D. who are full of imagination even upon death5. “Shadowland” in the last sentence refers to _.A. the wonderland on often dreams about B. the bright future that one is looking forward to C. the state of uncertainty before ones final goal is reachedD. a world that exists only in ones imaginationPassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage: On-the-job smoking is a hot issue for both smokers and non-smokers, and many managers now see smoking as a productivity(生产力)problem. Although some people question whether smoking really affects ones productivity, it has, in fact been proven that a smoker costs a company more than a non-smoker. According to professor William Weis, a smoking employee costs his or her employer about $5,700 more a year than a never-smoker. These costs include medical care, lost earnings and insurance. And absence due to smoking breaks is one of the productivity problems, yet it accounts for a great deal of employer costs.(78)When the issue of smoking at the workplace is discussed, perhaps the most important problem is the health risk that smoking causes to both smokers and never-smokers. It has long been proven
