He is also a freshman in the arts department of Hubei University.Luo Jingyu is from an ordinary family. He said, “My parents told me if I wanted something I should make an effort to get it, so I earned pocket money by doing housework when I was little.” The dream of running his own business grew in his heart. He said, “I want to be a successful person, like Alibabas Ma Yun.”When Luo was a junior student, he had the idea of selling lanterns when he saw many people flying Chinese lanterns in a square. Luo bought some lanterns from a store, but the sales were not as good as he had expected. Then he found another way to do business. He bought lanterns on the Internet at a very low price. Finally he easily made 5,000 yuan in two days.With a happy beginning, Luo planned to open a dress shop. “My parents didnt support me opening a dress shop, so I had to borrow 120,000 yuan for it.” Although he did market research before starting, the business wasnt very good because his taste in fashion wasnt accepted by customers. The shop eventually closed down after half a year.After experiencing a big loss, he decided to do something he was familiar withselling painting tools. As a fine arts student, he knew the market. He convinced his friends to invest one million yuan in his shop. With a good business mind and a lot of effort, the sales of the shop reached six million yuan in a year.Even though Luo is rich, he uses a cheap cell phone and does not wear luxury clothes. He has a simple lifestyle. “It isnt easy to make money, so money should be used on something worthwhile,” he said.25We can learn from the second paragraph that Luos parents_.Aasked him for money to pay the rentBsuggested that he work hard to get somethingCadvise him to pay more attention to his studiesDgave him some money to do business26Which of the following statements is TRUE?ALuo learnt to make lanterns from his father.BLuos friends advised him to sell painting tools.CLuo borrowed money from the bank to open shops.DThe loss at the dress shop taught Luo a lesson.27Which of the following words can describe Luo best?_.ATalented but lazy.BRich but mean.CHard-working and plain-living.DOptimistic and kind.CA newspaper reporters job can be very interesting. He meets all types of people and lives quite a busy life. He is on the rush for news all the time, then after several years he may get a desk job, and life becomes a bit more settled. Lets look at his work a little more closely. In a day he may have to interview the prime minister of a foreign country, and the next day he may be writing about a football match. Sometimes he may be so busy that he has hardly any time to sleep. And at other times he may go on for days looking out for news materials yet return empty-handed.In the beginning, a reporter has to cover a very wide field. After the early years he becomes more specialized in his work. For example, he may finally be asked to write only on court cases or politics or sports. Some reporters may become so specialized that they are asked only to write on a special thing: horse racing, for example. In most newspaper houses there is at least one special racing correspondent. Some newspapers have book reviews. Their job is delightful. They read the latest book and then write reviews on the ones they like. Then there are those who write on films, so they get to see them even before they are shown in the cinema. How lucky, you would say!A reporters job can also be very dangerous. A number of them have died rushing from one assignment to another, and if there is a flood or a riot(暴) they may get hurt or even be killed. Three years ago there was a reporter whose camera was smashed by a group of men, because they were angry with him for taking their picture. Dangerous or not, one thing is certain, and that is, their job is never dull!28What does the underlined phrase “on the rush” mean in the passage?Aon the beach Bon the spot Cin a hurry Din no time29Reporters who write on films are said to be lucky because they _.Acan see the films before most people see them in the cinemaBcan see more film starsCcan pay less than other people Dcan write anything they like30A reporters work becomes dangerous when _.Athere is an interview with the prime minister Bthere is a flood or a riotCthere is a football match Dhe is seeing a horror film31From the passage we can infer that, to be a good reporter, he must be all of the following EXCEPT_.Abrave Bquick in mind Cwell-informed（消息灵通的） D. funnyDFrom the health point of view we are living in a wonderful age. A large number of once fatal（致命的） illnesses can now be cured by modern drugs and surgery. But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we witness the unbelievable killing of people on the roads. Man is opposite to the motor-car! It is a never-ending battle which man is losing. Thousands of people are killed each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen.It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering-wheel(方向盘), his car becomes the extension of his personality. There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a mans worst character. People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steering-wheel. They are rude, ill-mannered and aggressive. All their hidden frustrations and disappointments seem to be brought to the surface by the act of driving.The surprising thing is that society smiles on the motorist and seems to forgive the behavior. Everything is done for his convenience. Cities and towns are made ugly by huge car parks.It is high time a world law were created to reduce（减少） this senseless waste of human life. As for driving, the laws of some countries are not strict and even the strictest are not strict enough. A law which was universally accepted could only have a beneficial effect on the accident rate. Here are a few examples of some things that might be done. The driving test should be made to a fixed standard and far more difficult than it is; all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years or so; the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21 ; all vehicles should be put through strict annual tests for safety. Present drinking and driving laws (where they exist) should be made much stricter. Driving speed should be limited on all roads. These measures may sound rather severe. But surely nothing should be considered difficult if it results in reducing the annual toll of human life. After all, the world is for human beings, not motor-cars.32The main idea of this passage is_.Atraffic accidents are mainly caused by motoristsBonly stricter traffic laws can prevent accidentsCthousands of people in the world are killed each yearDthe laws of some countries about driving are too strict33Which of the following is right according to the passage?AIt is right to build huge car parks in cities and towns.BSociety ignores their rude driving.CWorking by car can save time and money.DAll the drivers must be asked to take a test every year.34Why does the author say his car becomes the extension of his personality ?ADriving can show his temper.BDriving can bring out his good character.CDriving can make a man excited and joyful.DDriving can show his real self.35The attitude of the author is_.ACritical（批判的） BApproving（赞许的） Cselfish Ddetermined七选五Do you want to be at the top of your class？Add these tips to your life and you should be on your way to being a top student！36 I cannot stress（强调）enough how important it is to pay attention to what your teacher is teaching you. Take part in class discussions if you have something worthwhile to add. Pay attention during class, especially during lectures.Taking notes is important. You dont need to write down every word your teacher says but write down what he writes on the board, or any special fact you think you might need for a test.37 This way it will help you learn more effectively by actually thinking about what you are writing.Dont skip school（逃学）.You will be missing out on stuff.38 However, you will have more work because you have missed lectures. Also, try not to be late for class. Its most likely that your teacher wont appreciate it and you will get yourself behind.39 If you have an I dont care about school or this class attitude, then teachers will be less willing to offer you extra credit（学分）.The same goes for lazy attitude. Have a respectful attitude to the teacher and other students. Try not to laugh when other students make a mistake.Always ask questions.40 If you dont understand, ask someone. Read your textbook and notes, and then if that fails, seek help. Ask a teacher, friend, classmate, parent, etc. Get a tutor if you need one.ABe prepared.BWrite in your own words.CStaying organised will be helpful.DKeep a good attitude toward things.E. There is no shame in needing some help.F.I t is true that you could make up the work.G. Pay attention to everything the teacher says.三、完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）I still remember the day when I was driving to the supermarket I own. When I came out, I found a boy 41 my car with a brush.

The boy became so 49 that he got into the car at once, “Would you please drive me 50 ? It is only about 3 miles.” What the boy wanted to do was to show off to his friends and his family. 51 I stopped, he jumped out and ran into an old building, telling me to wait there for some time. Very soon he came out, saying to a little girl on his back, “Look at this beautiful car. I will buy you 52 someday.”I noticed his sister had a pale face. 53 , her legs were too thin, and she was unable to 54 .After that day I went to his home several times.
