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 mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.There are at least four ways to get rich: winning money, earning money, inheriting money, or stealing money. By rich, we mean having enough money so you never have to work for money again, if you do not what to.Winning money seems easy, but it really is not, and it often does not make you really rich. There are several ways to win money: betting or gambling, lotteries, and contests. Many couriers have lotteries in which it is possible to win enough money to become rich, and many people have become rich winning a lottery. But you would have to be very lucky to win a lottery because so many other people are also trying to win and your chances are very small, often one in many million.Earning money is the hardest way to get rich because it means you have to work, and you usually have to work hard or be especially talented or lucky or both. People who work regular jobs, such as taxi drivers, do not get rich, even if they save all of their money. That is because they do not make enough money during their lifetimes to be able to save enough. They may have more money than their friends and co-workers, but they are not really rich.A few rich men and women have earned their money, usually by investing something unusual or popular or by taking chances and being lucky. Sam Walton is one of the richest men in the United States. He is not from a rich family, and he had to deliver newspapers to pay his way through college. He started building small department stores that sold inexpensive items, and he quickly expanded them into national chain of store called Wal-Mart. Most of the really rich people in the world have inherited some or all of their money. Over one third of the richest people in the United States inherited their money from their parents or their spouses. Other rich people are rich because of a combination of inheriting money and earning it. Some heads of government are rich because their countries and families are rich and they have used their money and their position to make more money.51. Among the four ways to get rich, which one is the hardest according to the writer?A. Winning money.B. Earning money.C. Inheriting money.D. Stealing money.52. What does the writer say about winning money?A. It is easy to get rich by winning money.B. Compared with betting, gambling and contests, the chances of winning a lottery are much smaller.C. Winning money often doesnt make people really rich.D. It is impossible to win enough money to become rich.53. According to the writer, which of the following is not necessary to earn enough money?A. Working hard.B. Being especially talented.C. Being lucky.D. Saving all your money54. The writer mentions Sam Walton to show that _.A. It is important to work hard.B. People from poor families also have a chance to get rich.C. Only a few people have earned enough money to become richD. Wal-Mart developed from small department stores55. How did most of the rich people in the world get their money?A. They used their power and position to make money.B. They earned their money by taking chances or being lucky.C. They are lucky enough by have won a lottery.D. They inherited their money from their parents or their spouses.Passage 2Questions 56 to60 are based on the following passage.Would you quit your job if you didnt need the money? In a 1990 poll by the Gallup Organization, many Americans said quitting work was an important reason to be rich. Yet researchers find that work is one of lifes chief satisfactions for many people.Consider W. Berry Fowler. In 1979 Fowler started a tutoring company that became so successful he was able to sell out and retire in 1987 a multimillionaire at 41. He bought a 50-foot cabin cruiser and a house in Hawaii, and busied himself vacationing.But after five years of perpetual vacation, Fowler began to miss the challenges of work. So in 1992 he bought a fitness chain for children and now spends 75 hours a week immersed in balance sheets and staff meetings. “My best days on the golf course werent half as much fun as a good day at the office,” he says.A job, studies show, is more than a paycheck. Doing something well can increase confidence and self-worth. When sociologist H. Roy Kaplan surveyed 139 lottery millionaires, he discovered 60 percent continued working at least a year after theyd won.Atlanta native Stephen Belcher started driving a cab 14 years ago. Since then, hes returned lost wallets, helped stranded pedestrians and driven elderly people to their doctors without charge. Belchers pride in his work soon caught the eye of other cabbies. When Atlanta started a Taxi Advisory Committee as a liaison between drivers and city officials, Belcher was elected chairman. There, his efforts to improve driver professionalism got him noticed once again. He now sits on the board of directors of Atlantas Visitors and Convention Bureau and is president of the citys Taxicab Industry Association. And he still drives a cab full time. “I like to think of myself as an ambassador for the city,” Belcher says.56. In a 1990 poll by the Gallup Organization, researchers found that _.A. rich people tend to quit work when they get rich enoughB. work is one of lifes main satisfactions for most peopleC. Fowler was still at work after he became a multimillionaireD. work makes people rich and confident57. W. Berry Fowler _.A. started up a company in 1979B. was very successful in his business in HawaiiC. engaged himself in Vacation business after quitting the job in a tutoring companyD. sold his company when he got rich enough58. “My best days on the golf course werent half as much fun as a good day at the office.” This remark reflects that _.A. five years of perpetual vacation is too long for a rich manB.

She had really inspired me. I wanted to help people, to make a difference in their lives just like she was doing. I knew I had work to do because I hadnt really applied myself in high school. It was more social for me than anything else. But I was looking ahead to my future, and I knew that if I really wanted to do this, I was going to need help. I made an appointment to see a guidance counselor, Mr. Shaw. He listened to my inspired rap(闲聊) as I went on and on about the wonders of a helping career. I could actually help make a difference in the world! Mr. Shaw looked back at me in disbelief. Youre not college material, he said clearly. It f
