His family were very poor farmers, and there was never enough to eat. Frank decided he did not want to be a farmer. He took a short business course, and went to work as a salesman in a large city.Woolworth realized he had a natural skill for showing goods to attract peoples interest, but he soon learned something more important. One day his boss told him to sell some odds and ends (小商品 ) for as much as he could get. Frank put all these things on one table with a sign which said FIVE CENTS EACH. People fought and pushed to buy the things and the table was soon cleared.Soon afterwards, Woolworth opened his own store., selling goods at five and ten cents. But he had another lesson to learn before he became successful. That is, if you want to make money by selling low-price goods, you have to buy them in large quantities directly form the factories. Once, for example, Woolworth went to Germany and placed an order for knives. The order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a whole year. In this way, the price of the knives was cut down by half.By 1919, Woolworth had over 1000 stores in the US and Canada, and opened his first store in London. He made many millions and his name became famous throughout the world. He always run his business according to strict rules, of which the most important was: “ THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT.”41. Frank took a short business course in order to _. A. earn more money for his family B. learn something from a salesman C. get away from the farm D. get enough to eat.42. Frank sold the odds and ends quickly because _. A. he knew how to get people to buy his goods. B. he cut down the price by half C. he had put the goods on a table in a very nice way. D. the sign he put on the table was well designed.43. The price of the knives was cut down by half because _. A. the factory workers worked 24 hours a day. B. knives were ordered in large quantities directly from the factory. C. the knives were made in Germany, where labour (劳动力) was cheap. D. the knives were produced in one factory.44. _ make Woolworth a world-famous man. A. His business skills and his wealth. B. The low price of the goods he sold. C. His trip to Germany and his huge order of knives. D. His natural skill for showing things.45. The belief that : “ The customer is always right” suggests that _.

C. stores must always follow the customers orders if they want to make more money. D. stores should do their best to meet the customers needs if they want to be successful. ( B )About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier; only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman! There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shadows of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green a strange world indeed.Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors. There are also millions of “rods”, but these are used for seeing when it is near dark. They show us shape but no color.Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes prefer blue to yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors. Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.46. The passage is mainly about _. A. color and its surprising effects. B. women being luckier than men C. danger caused by color blindness D. color blindness47. According to the passage, with the help of the “cones”, we can_.

There are fewer color-blind women C. Women are fonder of driving than men. D. Women are weaker but quicker in thinking.49. Which of the statements about the color- blind is true? A. Not all of them have the same problem in recognizing color. B. None of them can see deep red. C. None of them can tell the difference between blue and green. D.

A. red light B. yellow light C. blue light D. green light (C)February has long been a month of romance. With the sweet smell of roses in the air, romantic films hit cinemas and love stories fill newspapers and magazines.On the 14th day, it is a custom for a boy to take his girlfriend out to dinner, buy her flowers and chocolates, write poems, sing to her or even spell out her name with rose petals(花瓣)! This is the scene that greets you on Valentines Day, named after Valentine who was a priest (牧师) in third century Rome. When the emperor（皇帝）decided that single men made better soldiers than those with wives, he didnt allow marriage. But Valentine continued to perform marriage ceremonies for young lovers in secret. When his actions were discovered, the emperor had him put to death. While in prison, it is said that Valentine fell in love with the daughter of his prison guard. Before his death on 14th Feb 270 DC, he wrote her a letter, which he signed From your Valentine, an expression that is still in use today. Valentine died for what he believed in and so was made a Saint (圣徒), as well as becoming one of historys most romantic figures. Nowadays, Valentines Day is also popular among Chinese young people. Some students are planning to make Valentines cards for parents, teachers and friends. Others want to hold parties at which they will exchange small gifts and eat heart-shaped cakes. The idea is to have fun and encourage people to share the spirit of St. Valentine.51. The Emperor in Rome did not allow marriage in his country because _.

Valentines Day in China D. A Romantic Man (D) Imagine landing in a foreign country where you cannot speak the language, understand the culture and dont know anybody. Wouldnt it be nice to have a friend who could help you out?John Smith, an English explorer who landed in America in 1607, found the best friend ever. She was a Native American named Pocahontas (1595-1617). And she did more than teach Smith the language: she saved his life, twice. Smith was captured(捕捉) by members of Pocahontass tribe(部落) and was going to be killed. But for some reason, the Chiefs daughter, Pocahontas, felt sorry for Smith (who was probably the first white man she had ever seen) and threw her body over his to protect him. Smith returned safely to the small village he was living in. During the winter the English settlers did not know how to get food from nature. Pocahontas often brought food for Smith and his friends.A year later Pocahontass father tried to kill Smith again because the Native Americans were very scared the English would try to take over their land. Pocahontas warned him and he was able to escape. Later she became a Christian and eventually married an Englishman named John Rolfe.She spent the last year of her life in London. Pocahontas has become an American legend（传奇人物）. Her life story has been re-created in many books and films, including Disneys 1995 film, Pocahontas. One of the reasons she is so popular is that many Europeans look at Pocahontas as an excellent example of how a minority（少数） can adjust into the majority. Pocahontas is also respected because of her selfless love. She proved that people can be kind and loving even to people of a different race or culture. John Smith was very different from Pocahontas but she could see he was a good man and that was all that mattered. No race or country owns goodness, love and loyalty.56.

A. the fierce conflict with Native Americans B. lack of food in winter C. bad-tempered natives who enjoyed killing D. unfamiliarity with a foreign land57. Pocahontas saved John Smith twice because _. A. she believed in general kindness even to people of a different race B. she wanted to become a Christian and marry an English C. he was the first white man she had ever seen in her life D. she was on the settlers side and against her cruel father58. Which is Not an element to make Pocahontas a legend? A. Her tribal background and her marriage to a white settler. B. The recreation of her life story in the 1995 Disney film. C. Her complicated life story different from common peoples D. Her selfless help to people regarded as enemy of her tribe.59. What can we infer from the passage? A. People from different cultures can never really get along well with each other. B. The Europeans think the early settlers should have learned to adjust to the local cultures. C. The creation of America is based on the settlers victory over the Native Americans. D. The battles between early settlers and Native Americans resulted from their fighting for land.60. Pocahontass father tried to kill Smith again because_.A. The Native Americans would try to kill himB. The English were very scared the Native Americans would try to take over their landC.
