of Andrew Carnegie，who started life in poverty but became one of the richest men in the world.Carnegie was born in Scotland in 1835，the son of a weaver.In 1848，the family moved to the United States and at 13 Carnegie began to work in a cotton mill，earning $1.5 per week.About three years later，he found a better job as a telegraph messenger boy.At work，his superiors (上级) were impressed by his abilities and willingness to work hard.In 1853，he gained an office job at the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.This was his first big break.He continued to impress and rose rapidly through the company，gaining_more_and_more_responsibility.At the same time，Carnegie loved reading very much and made use of every opportunity to visit the library.He read widely on all subjects，particularly literature.Carnegie now began to save a little money and，with the help of his employer，began to make some successful investments.He invested in the iron industry and eventually set up in business himself，owning several iron and steel plants.This was where he made his fortune.By the 1890s，the Carnegie Steel Company was the biggest and most profitable business in the world.Carnegie had always believed that the pursuit (追求) of wealth was never an end in itself.In his view，successful，wealthy people should redistribute their wealth for the benefit of everyone in society.True to his word，in 1901，at the age of 66，he retired from business and devoted the rest of his life to charity work.Carnegies lack of formal education and his poor family background clearly didnt put barriers in the way of success.His rapid rise from poverty to wealth was due to his willingness to work hard，his intelligence and good business sense，and his talent for making things happen.He died in 1919 at the age of 83.1What can be learnt from the text?ACarnegies employers had a high opinion of him.B Carnegie made the investments independently after saving enough money.CCarnegie believed that we should try to earn as much money as possible in our life.DCarnegie could have been more successful if he had been formally educated.2What does “gaining more and more responsibility” in the second paragraph most probably mean?ABecoming more and more intelligent.BBeing promoted to higher ranks.CHaving a better sense of confidence.DReading more and more books.3When did Carnegie get his first big success in his life?AWhen he took a job as a telegraph messenger boy.BWhen he worked at the Pennsylvania Railroad Company.CWhen he made investments in the iron industry.DWhen he founded the Carnegie Steel Company.4Which of the following will be the suitable title for the text?AAndrew Carnegie：A Wealthy ManBSteel & Iron：The Most Profitable BusinessCFrom Rags to Riches：The Story of Andrew CarnegieDIntelligence and Good Business Sense：Two Factors in Becoming Wealthy.短文填词“Avatar” has made a boxoffice record.Director James Cameron，having_(花费) 13 years preparing for 1._the film，managed to

up with与合作或一起工作，为固定搭配 。turn up出现；露面；look up向上看；pick up捡起。6Cby the time，each time，every time，immediately，the moment等词或短语常用做连词，引导时间状语从句，因主句用过去完成时，故用by the time。7Awhere引导从句并在从句中作状语。which和the place不能作状语；here不能引导从句。8A考查名词性从句的连接词。句意为：我是否能参加今晚的派对取决于我能否在晚会前写完报告。depends on后的宾语从句含有“是否”之意，空白处应填连接词whether。9C句意为：然而你申请的这个职位并不是一份报酬很好的工作。apply for申请。10Bmark down表示“记下”，符合题意。mark up表示“加价”；mark out表示“画线标出”，mark off表示“分隔出；隔开”。11A考查固定句型：There is no possibility that.。句意为：她不可能在两个小时内完成这个任务。12Dtake out表示“取出”，take up表示“从事，占用”，take off表示“起飞；脱下”，均不合题意。take in此处表示“吸收，理解”。13A句意为：很有可能环境保护者会到这个地区调查严重污染所造成的潜在的破坏。句型It is likely that.中的likely为形容词，而不是副词，B、C、D三项均为副词形式，与句式不符。14A只有make a life搭配正确，而come to life；bring sb./sth.to life 构成搭配，所以A项正确。15A句意为：足球是敏锐的头脑和艰苦训练的结合，而不只是说出来的。mixture混合，混合体，与句意吻合。.完形填空【语篇解读】有位母亲和她的儿子每天早晨去同一家餐厅吃早餐。从某天开始，母亲每天早晨都给餐厅外一个无家可归的男子买一份早餐。她的儿子继承了做善事的传统，大学毕业上班后，他每天早晨都给一个无家可归的人买早餐。1B上下文语境表明母子俩每天早晨常去同一家餐厅买早餐。2D一天她点了份额外的早餐。order点(饭菜)，符合上下文语境。3C母子俩吃完早餐
