My first job was to drive the oxen（牛） that ploughed the cane fields. I would walk behind an ox, guiding him with a broomstick. For $ 1 a day, I worked eight hours straight, with no food breaks.It was very boring work, but it prepared me for life and taught me many lasting lessons. Because the farm owners were always watching us, I had to be on time every day and work as hard as I could. Ive never been late for any job since. I also learned about being respectful and faithful to the people you work for. More important, I earned my pay; it never entered my mind to say I was sick just because I didnt want to work.I was only six years old, but I was doing a mans job. Our family needed every dollar we could make because my father never earned more than $ 18 a week. Our home was a three-room wood house with a dirty floor and no toilet. Nothing made me prouder than bringing home money to help my mother, father, two brothers and three sisters. This gave me self-esteem (自尊心), one of the most important things a person can have.When I was seven, I got work at a golf course near our house. My job was to stand and spot the balls as they landed, so the golfers could find them. Losing a ball meant you were fired, so I never missed one. Some nights I would lie in bed and dream of making thousands of dollars by playing golf and being able to buy a bicycle.The more I dreamed, the more I thought. Why not? I made my first golf club (球棒) out of guava limb (番石榴树枝) and a piece of pipe. Then I hammered an empty tin can (罐子) into the shape of a ball. And finally I dug two small holes in the ground and hit the ball back and forth. I practiced with the same devotion. I learned working in the field except now I was driving golf balls with club, not oxen with a broomstick.41. The writer learned that _ from his first job.A. he should work for those who he liked mostB. he should work longer than what he was expectedC. he should never fail to say hello to his ownerD. he should be respectful and faithful to the people he worked for42. The underlined word “this” (Para 3) refers to _.A. having a family of eight peopleB. owning his own golf courseC. bringing money back home to help the familyD. helping his father with the work on the farm43. Which of the following statements about the writer is true according to the passage?A. He wanted to be a successful golfer.B. He wanted to run a golf course near his house.C. He was satisfied with the job he got on a farm.D. He wanted to make money by guiding oxen with a broomstick.44. The writer wrote the passage to tell us to _.A. start work at an early ageB. help support the familyC. have dreamsD. learn from workBChina loves exhibitions. Exhibitions provide people with a chance to see what is available, and perhaps more importantly, what may be available. In order to make your visit more efficient, the 8 rules listed below may be of some help to you.1. Avoid attending the opening ceremony.Find out when the opening ceremony is and turn up about 30 minutes after that. The opening ceremony is like a starting gun: as soon as its over, the gathered crowds will rush to the doors to get inside the exhibition halls.2. Dont be distracted (分散) by pretty models.Hot cars and pretty girls may go well together, but dont be distracted by them. Remember what you really want to see at an exhibition.3. Go early.Unlike the western competitors, Chinese exhibitors dont give away a lot of freebies during exhibitions. So, if you want the freebies, go to the show on the first day, right after the opening ceremony.4. Dont go during lunch hour.Lunch is like a daily national holiday in China. Lunch hour, unfortunately, leaves exhibition booths (摊位) manned by guys who are more interested in stuffing (填满) food into their mouths than explaining the product or promoting the company.5. Avoid any booth with a big screen TV, a video game, or a loudspeaker.These are cheap ways of attracting customers to visit a booth, and it doesnt always guarantee that the exhibitor has a good product to show. Its purpose is to attract people with an electronic dog-and-pony show.6. Hand your name cards out to everyone.Take plenty of business cards in both Chinese and English with you when going to an exhibition. Hand them out to every exhibitor whose booth you visit. This method helps advertise the name of company, so dont leave home without them.7. Follow the guards.Guards are available to assist anyone in need of help and to keep order. So follow them and look for the best products to see at an exhibition.8. Set a time limit.Prepare for what you want to see, how much time you want to spend and where you want to spend your time.Remember these rules and you will have a fruitful experience at an exhibition.45. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Youd better set a time limit.B. You can ask for help from the guards.C. Lunch hour is a good time for you to visit a booth.D. Exhibitors usually hand out freebies on the first day of an exhibition.46. What is the clever way to advertise a company at an exhibition according to the passage?A. To give away a lot of freebies.B. To hand name cards out to every exhibitor.C. To attend the opening ceremony.D. To visit all booths at an exhibition.47. The passage is intended for .A. exhibitorsB. studentsC. businessmenD. models48. What is the passage mainly about ?A. Why people attend an exhibition.B. What to see at an exhibition.C. How to make an efficient visit to an exhibition.D. What is available at an exhibition.COne August afternoon, Richard Allen dropped off his last passenger, Mrs. Carey. Lifting two grocery bags, he followed her across the yard and stood on the step of her house. Glancing up, he saw a large wasp (黄蜂) nest under the roof. Allen had heard that wasps can become more likely to sting (sting, stung, stung蜇) in summer. He mentioned this to Mrs. Carey, who had opened the door.“Oh, they dont bother me,” she said lightly. “I go in and out all the time.”Anxiously, Allen looked at the nest againto see the wasps flying straight at him.“Hurry!” he shouted to Mrs. Carey.“Get in!”She stepped quickly inside. Allen ran for his mini-bus. Too late; they were up on him. Just as he jumped aboard, half a dozen red spots showed on his arm，and he felt more on his back and shoulders.As he was driving down the road, Allen felt as if something was burning at the back of his neck, and the “fire” was spreading forward toward his face. An immediate anxiety took hold of him. Allen knew that stings could cause some persons to die. But he had been stung the previous summer and the after-effects soon passed. However, what he didnt know was that the first sting had turned his body into a time bomb（炸弹）waiting for the next to set off (引爆) an explosion.Miles from the nearest medical assistance, Allen began to feel his tongue thick and heavy and his heartbeat louder. Most frightening, he felt his breathing more and more difficult. He reached for the radio mike (话筒), trying to call the mini-bus center, but his words were hardly understandable. Signals were also poor that far out. He knew a rescue team was on 24-hour duty at the Amherst Fire Departments north station. So his best chance was to make a run for it.Rushing down the mountain, Allen tried not to get terrified, focusing his mind on each sharp turn. He was almost through the last of them when he felt sure he was going into shock (休克). Just then he reached for the radio mike again.“Call fire station,” he shouted, concentrating to form the words. “Emergency. Bee sting. Emergency. There in ten minutes.”“Five-ten,” the center replied.Hold on, Allen thought. Keep your eyes open. Breathe. Keep awake.At last he reached the station. Two firemen ran out. Allen felt their hands grasp him before he hit the ground. You made it, he thought.49. It is mentioned in the passage that wasps are more likely to attack when _.A. there are huge noisesB. strangers are approachingC. the air is filled with food smellD. the hottest season comes around50. Allen didnt know that if stung by wasps again，he would _.A. have no after-effectsB. lose his lifeC. suffer from sharper painD. become more sensitive51. Allen failed at his first attempt to send his message to the mini-bus center because _.A. he was unable to speak clearlyB. his radio equipment was poorC. he was in a state of shockD. no one was on duty52. What can we infer from the passage?A. It is very dangerous to be a driver.B. Life is fragile in the face of great danger.C. It is difficult to stay calm in the face of great danger.D. Perseverance (坚持, 毅力) sometimes works wonders.DScientists smiled as the three young whales swam through the ocean, turning over, jumping, and racing one another in circles around the ship. After spending seven months in a 60,000 gallon (228,000-liter) pool at the New England Aquarium in Boston, Massachusetts, the whales were now free.The pilot whales, named Notch, Small and Tag, had been staying at the pool ever since they were saved after running aground (搁浅) on a Cape Cod beach in Massachusetts last December. Although about 60 other whales died during that running aground, the three young whales were saved and nursed back to health. Last June, the whales were freed from a ship about 120 miles (152 kilometers) off the coast of Massachusetts. When the three whales finally swam away from the ship, scientists on board cheered. The event, say the biologists, marked the first time that a group of whales have been saved, cared for, and freed back into the wild.No one knows what causes whales to run aground. Some biologists think that gently sloping beaches may upset the whales sonar systems (声纳系统). Whales find groups of fish and other objects by bouncing (反弹) sonar waves off the objects. When a whale approaches a gently sloping beach, the sonar waves may bounce away from the whale instead of toward it. The whale may end up in shallow water and run aground.Other experts think a leader of a group of whales becomes ill and beaches itself. Because whales often band together, other whales soon follow, running aground as well.53. After spending seven months in a pool, the pilot whales, named Notch, Small and Tag, were freed in _.A. springB. summerC. autumnD. winter54. Some scientists believe that once the leading whale in a group falls ill and runs aground, _.A. others may band togetherB. others may fall ill, tooC. others will not care for it and run awayD. others will follow and beach themselves, too55. When a whale approaches a gently sloping beach, _.A. it may be able to send out sonar wavesB. its sonar waves may not bounce back to itC. its sonar waves may disappearD. its sonar waves become stronger56.
