In a recent Hollywood comedy(喜剧), that is exactly what happens.Dave Kovic, played by Kevin Kline, is a kind-hearted man who runs a business that finds people jobs. He leads a typical(典型的) American way of life, except for one thinghe looks exactly like the President, Bill Mitchell. In fact, the only thing that makes him different from the nations leader is that he is very nice!The president has started using look-alikes during some public appearances. Dave is offered a chance to “serve his country” by becoming one. However, things go wrong. The President becomes very ill and Dave ends up acting as the President forever.Director Ivan Reitman, who made the popular and successful comedies like Twins, Ghostbusters and Legal Eagles, could have gone for easy laughs by making fun of the American government. Instead, Dave is an attractive comedy about an ordinary man in extraordinary situations. Kevin Kline gives a double performance as Dave and the President, and Sigourney Weaver is at her best as his First Lady. The love story that develops between her role and Dave is a real classic(经典).The film is 100% American. However, if youve ever felt that anybody could do a better job running the country than the people in power, then youll enjoy Dave!66What is the purpose of the text?A. To tell the reader about the American government.B. To discus the Americans ideas about the President.C. To make a comparison between Dave and other films.D. To introduce a new film to the reader.67The underlined word “one” in the 3rd paragraph refers to _. A. the President B. the director C. an actor D. a look-alike68Which of the following is best supported by the text? A. The author makes fun of the President.B. The author thinks highly of the film.C. The author is a fan of Hollywood comedies.D. The author wishes to become the American President.BWhen something goes wrong，it can be very satisfying to say，“Well, its so-and-sos fault.”or “I know Im late，but its not my fault；the car broke down.”It is probably not your fault，but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation，you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winners key to success.Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or dont rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.This is what being a winner is all aboutcreatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners dont have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stop on for success.69. According to the passage, winners .A. deal with problems rather than blame others B. meet with fewer difficulties in their livesC. have responsible and able colleagues D. blame themselves rather that others70. The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to .A. avoidB. acceptC. improve D. consider71. When your colleague brings about a problem, you should .A. find a better way to handle the problem B. blame him for his lack of responsibilityC. tell him to find the cause of the problem D. ask a more able colleague for help72. When problems occur, winners take them as A. excuses for their failures B. barriers to greater powerC. challenges to their colleagues D. chances for self-development73. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. A Winners Secret. B. A Winners Problem.C. A Winners Opportunity.D. A Winners Achievement.CMy teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died . As a single parent , I tried to do my best to talk to him . But the more I tried , the more he pulled away . When his report card arrived during his junior year , it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six falling grades for the year . At this rate he would never graduate . I sent him to the school adviser , and I even begged him . Nothing worked .One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and pleaded for help . “Please God ,I cant do anything more for my son . Im at the end of my rope . Im giving the whole thing up to you .”I was at work when I got a phone call . A man introduced himself as the headmaster . “I want to talk to you about Karls absences .” Before he could say another word , I choked up and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger . “I love my son but I just dont know what to do . Ive tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked . Its out of my hands . “For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line . The headmaster seriously said , “Thank you for your time”, and hung up .Karls next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades . Finally , he even made the honor roll .In his fourth year , I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl . I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around . On our way home , he said , “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year ?” I nodded . “That was me . I thought Id play a joke but when I heard what you said , it really hit me how much I was hurting you . Thats when I knew I had to make you proud .”74By saying “Karl became withdrawn”, the author means that the boy changed entirely and .Apreferred to stay alone at home Blost interest in his studies Crefused to talk to others Dbegan to dislike his mother 75There was silence on the other end of the line because .Athe speaker was too moved to say anything to the mother Bthe speaker waited for the mother to finish speaking Cthe speaker didnt want the mother to recognize his voice Dthe speaker was unable to interrupt the mother 76The sentence “he even made the honor roll” means that “ ”.Ahe was even on the list to be praised at the parent-teacher meeting Bhe was even on the list of students who made progress in grades Che was even on the lis
