Enthusiasm will take you 36 than any amount of experience.” How right they were! Enthusiastic people can turn a/an 37 drive into an adventure, extra work into an opportunity and strangers into friends. “Nothing great was ever 38 without enthusiasm” wrote Waldo EmersonIt is the inner voice 39 , “I can do it!” When others shout, “No, you cant!” It took years and years for the early work of Barbara Mclintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be 40 accepted. Yet she didnt stop working on her experiments. Work was such a deep 41 for her that she never thought of stopping.It is hope 42 gives enthusiastic people such a youthful air, 43 their age. At 90, musician Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach. As the music 44 his fingers, his beat shoulders would 45 and joy would reappear in his eyes. Music, for Casals, was an exciting thing that made life a never ending 46 . Elizabeth Layton of Wellsville, Kan, was 68 47 she began to draw. This activity 48 the depression that she has suffered from for 30 years, and the 49 of her work led one critic (评论家) to say, “I have to call Layton a genius. Elizabeth had rediscovered her 50 ”How do you rediscover the enthusiasm of your childhood? The answer, I believe, 51 the word itself. “Enthusiasm” comes from the Greek and means “God within”. And “God within” is 52 else but a sense of love a proper love of self, that is self acceptance, and the love of others 53 .Enthusiastic people also love what they do, 54 money or fame or power. If we cannot do what we love as a full time career, we can do it as a part time 55 .36A. furtherBlessCbetterD. farther37A. interestingBlongCboringD. short38A. discoveredBachievedCsoughtD. described39A. saysBtalksCquarrelsD. whispers40A. franklyBgenerallyChonestlyD. warmly41A. pleasureBsuccessCfeelingD. love42A. whichBwhatCsinceD. that43A. wheneverBwhicheverCwhateverD. wherever44A. went throughBpulled through Cgot through D. flowed through45A. strengthen Bwiden ClightenD. straighten46A. routineBadventureCtripD. travel47A. afterBwhileCuntilD. when48A. endedBcompletedCbeganD. started49A. amountBqualityCbeautyD. atmosphere50A. enthusiasmBstrengthCadvantageD. power51A. consists ofBdates fromClies inD. belongs to52A. somethingBanythingCnothingD. none53A. followsBrunsCgoesD. accompanies54A. in spite ofBregardless ofCbecause ofD. or rather55A. goalBtaskCinterestD. assignment第三部分: 阅读理解(共15 小题; 每小题2 分, 满分30 分)请认真阅读下列短文, 从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中, 选出最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。A56.

When I look back on my career, I realize the road to becoming a CEO isnt a straight, clearly clarified path. In fact, no two paths are the same. But whether you want to be a boss one day or not, theres a lot to learn from how leaders rise to the top of successful companies. As this series of stories shows, the paths to becoming a CEO may vary, but the people in that position share the qualities of commitment, work ethic（守则）and a strong desire for building something new. And every CEO takes risks along the wayputting your life savings on the line to start a software company or leaving a big business to be one of the first employees at a startup. I grew up in Minnesota, and learned how to be an entrepreneur（企业家）from my father, who has run a small business for almost 30 years. I went to Georgetown University and tried a lot of business activities in college with varying degrees of success. And I always had a dream job pattern: to walk to work, work for myself and build something for consumers. Im only 29, so its been a quick ride to CEO. Out of college, I worked for AOL as a product manager, then moved to Revolution Health and ran the consumer product team. In mid-2007 I left Revolution Health and started Living Social with several other colleagues, where I became a CEO. Career advice: Dont figure out where you want to work, or even what industry youd like to work atFigure out what makes you do soWhat gives you a really big rush? Answer why you like things, not what you like doingand then apply it to your work life. Also, just because youre graduating, dont stop learning. Read more books than you did in college. If you do, and theyre not, youre really well-positioned to succeed in whatever you do.60. The first paragraph tells us _. Athe author hasnt achieved his childhood ambition Bthe author thinks there is some easy way to become a CEO. Cthe author had an ambition of becoming a CEO in his childhood. Dthe author believes success stories of CEOs can be beneficial to everybody.61. According tot the author, successful CEOs should _. Atry not to take risksBstay in the same business Chave a strong sense of creativityDsave every possible penny62. What can we know about the author from the passage? _ AHe started Living Social when he was still a student of Georgetown University BHis father had far-reaching influence on him CHis business activities at college ended up in more failure than successDHe used to run the consumer product team for AOL63. Which of the following proverbs（谚语） may the author agree with according to the last paragraph? _ AOne is never too old to learn.BEverything comes to him who waits. CTime and tide wait for no man.DWell begun is half doneCThe automobile industry will still rank as the most profitable and powerful industry of the twenty first century. There were presently one billion cars on earth in 2010, or about one car for every seven people sales of the automobile industry stand at about a trillion dollars, making it the worlds biggest manufacturing industry.The car, and the roads it travels on, will be revolutionized in the twenty-first century. The key to tomorrows “smart cars” will be sensors. “Well see vehicles and roads that see and hear and feel and smell and talk and act,” predicts Bill Spreitzer, technical director of General Motors Corporations ITS program, which is designing the smart car and road of the future. Approximately 40,000 people are killed each year in the United States in traffic accidents. The number of people that are killed or badly injured in car accidents is so vast that we dont even bother to mention them in the newspapers anymore. Fully half of these fatalities come from drunk drivers, and many others from carelessness. A smart car could eliminate most of these car accidents. It can sense if a driver is drunk via electronic sensors that can pick up alcohol vapor in the air, and refuse to start up the engine. The car could also alert the police and provide its precise location if it is stolen. Smart cars have already been built which can monitor ones driving and the driving conditions nearby. Small radars hidden in the bumpers can scan for nearby cars. Should you make a serious driving mistake (e.g., change lanes when there is a car in your blind spot) the computer would sound an immediate warning. By 2020, as the price of microchips drops to below a penny a piece telemetric (远程信息技术) could be adopted in thousands of miles of highways in the United States. This could prove to be an environmental benefit as well, saving fuel, reducing traffic jams, decreasing air pollution, and serving as an alternative to highway expansion. 64What can we infer from the first paragraph? _AThe population of the world was less than six billion in 2010.BThe automobile industry was the most profitable industry in the twentieth century.CMost people in the world would use public vehicles rather than use private cars.DSales of the automobile industry will get less and less because of the global crisis.65Which of the following can best describe the attitude of Bill Spreader towards future cars? _Adoubtful.Bnegative.Cindifferent.Dhopeful.66Why are people in the US uninterested in the traffic accidents? _ABecause they have no time to pay attention to the traffic accidents.BBecause they have never been worried about others business.CBecause the traffic accidents are so common and frequent.DBecause the traffic accidents are not related to them.67Which of the following is closes in meaning to the underlined word “fatalities” in the third paragraph? _ AtoolsBwinesCcarsDdeathsDI was puzzled! Why was this old woman making such a fuss about an old copse which was of no use to anybody? She had written letters to the local paper, even to a national, protesting about a projected by-pass to her village, and, looking at a map, the route was nowhere near where she lived and it wasnt as if the area was attractive. I was more than puzzled, I was curious. The enquiry into the route of the new by-pass to the village was due to take place shortly, and I wanted to know what it was that motivated her. So it was that I found myself knocking on a cottage door, being received by Mary Smith and then being taken for a walk to the woods. “Ive always loved this place,” she said, “it has a lot of memories for me, and for others. We all used it. They called it Lovers lane. Its not much of a lane, and it doesnt go anywhere important, but thats why we all came here. To be away from people, to be by ourselves.” she added. It was indeed pleasant that day and the songs of many birds could be heard. Squirrels watched from the branches, quite bold in their movements, obviously few people passed this way and they had nothing to fear. I could imagine the noise of vehicles passing through these peaceful woods when the by-pass was built, so I felt that she probably had something there but as I hold strong opinions about the needs of the community over-riding the opinions of private individuals, I said nothing. The village was quite a dangerous place because of the traffic especially for old people and children, their safety was more important to me than an old womans strange ideas. “Take this tree,” she said pausing after a short while. “To you it is just that, a tree. Not unlike many others here.” She gently touched the bark, “Look here, under this branch, what can you see?” “It looks as if someone has done a bit of carving with a knife.” I said after a cursory inspection. “Yes, thats what it is!” she said softly. She went on, “He had a penknife with a spike for getting stones from a horses hoof, and I helped him to carve them. We were very much in love, but he was going away, and could not tell me what he was involved in the army. I had guessed of course. It was the last evening we ever spent together, because he went away the next day, back to his Unit.” Mary Smith was quiet for a while, then she sobbed. “His mother showed me the telegram. Sergeant R Holmes Killed in action in the invasion of France.”“I had hoped that you and Robin would one day get married.” she said, “He was my only child, and I would have loved to be a Granny, they would have been such lovely babies- she was like that! ”“Two years later she too was dead. Pneumonia (肺炎), following a chill on the chest was what the doctor said, but I think it was an old fashioned broken heart. A child would have helped both of us.” There was a further pause. Mary Smith gently caressed the wounded tree, just as she would have caressed him. “And now they want to take our tree away from me.” Another quiet sob, then she turned to me. “I was young and pretty then, I could have had anybody, I wasnt always the old woman you see here now. I had everything I wanted in life, a lovely man, health and a future to look forward to.” She paused again and looked around. The breeze gently moved through the leaves with a sighing sound. “There were others, of course, but no one can match my Robin!” she said strongly. “And now I have nothing - except the memories this tree holds. If only I could get my hands on that awful man who writes in the paper about the value of the road they are going to build where we are standing now, I would tell him. Has he never loved, has he never lived, does he not know anything about memories? We were not the only ones, you know, I still meet some who came here as Robin and I did. Yes, I would tell him!” I turned away, sick at heart.68. The main purpose of this passage is to _.A. draw attention to the damage that wars cause B. persuade people to give up private interestC. arouse the awareness of being environmentally friendlyD. introduce a touching but sad love story69. The underlined sentence “I felt that she probably had something there” means _.A. I thought there might be something hidden in the woods by Mary SmithB. I guessed there might be a story related with Mary SmithC. I thought there might be some reason for Mary Smiths protestD. I guessed there might be a secret purpose of Mary Smith.70. What was probably the carving on the wounded tree? _A. Their names and a heart with a sign of arrow through it.B. Their wish that this place and tree would last long.C. The date when Robin Holmes would leave for army.D. Their protest against the war which tore them apart.第四部分：任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。Roommates Conflicts Identical twins Katie and Sarah Monahan arrived at Pennsylvanias Gettysburg College last year determined to strike out on independent paths. Although the 18-year-old sisters had requested rooms in different dorms, the housing office placed them on the eighth floor of the same building, across the hall from each other. While Katie got along well with her roommate, Sarah was miserable. She and her roommate silently warred over matters ranging from when the lights should be turned off to how the furniture should be arranged. Finally, they div
