again We might add some chemicals to one of our own fish oils said the manager It would be expensive to do that even if you could Johnson said gently Besides he added I am told that this oil will be much cheaper than your best fish oils Cheaper than any vegetable oil in fact Perhaps said the manager Well I suppose you want to make an arrangement Mr Johnson Shall we discuss it Of course said Johnson There are two ways of dealing with a situation of this sort The usual one is to prevent it altogether or at least to delay it as long as possible That is of course the best way The manager nodded He knew plenty about all that But I am so sorry for you because you see that is not possible this time The manager had his doubts but all he said was an inquiring asking Oh The other way

great deal of argument about competition Some value it highly believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity Others say that competition is bad that it sets one person against another that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people I have taught many children who held the belief that their self worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills For them playing well and winning are often life and death affairs In their single minded pursuit of success the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten However while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed others take an opposite attitude In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players they strongly blame competition Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society Teaching these young people I often observe in them a desire to fail They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success By not trying they always have an excuse I may have lost but it doesn t matter because I really didn t try What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost that would mean a lot Such a loss would be a measure of their worth Clearly this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves Both are based on the mistaken belief that one s self respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others Both are afraid of not being valued Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve can we discover a new meaning in competition 67 What does this passage mainly talk about A Competition helps to set up self respect B Opinions about competition are different among people C Competition is harmful to personal quality development D Failures are necessary experiences in competition 68 The underlined phrase the most vocal in Paragraph 3 means A those who try their best to win B those who value competition most highly C those who are against competition most strongly D those who rely on others most for success 69 What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a desire to fail A One s worth lies in his performance compared with others B One s success in competition needs great efforts C One s achievement is determined by his particular skills D One s success is based on how hard he has tried 70 Which point of view may the author agree to A Every effort should be paid back B Competition should be encouraged C Winning should be a life and death matter D Fear of failure should be removed in competition E 第二节 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 每小题 2 分共 10 分 E AB F AC G AD Using a Mobile Phone to Improve Mother
