4、ery indication that she was justanother American teenager without much of a future. However, one person wants to change this.Stephen Francis observed then eighteen-year-old Shelly Ann as a track meet and was convincedthat he had seen the beginning of true greatness. Her time were not exactly impress

5、ive, but even so,he seemed there was something trying to get out, something the other coaches had overlookedwhen they had assessed her and found her lacking. He decided to offer Shelly Ann a place in hisvery strict training seasons. Their cooperation quickly produced results, and a few year later at

6、Jamaicas Olympic games in early 2008, Shelly Ann, who at that time only ranked number 70 inthe world, beat Jamaicas unchallenged queen of the sprint（短跑）.“Where did she come from? ”asked an astonished sprinting world, before concluding that shemust be one of those one-hit wonders that spring up from

7、time to time, only to disappear againwithout signs. But Shelly Ann was to prove that she was anything but a one-hit wonder. At theBeijing Olympic she swept away any doubts about her ability to perform consistently bybecoming the first Jamaican woman ever to win the 100 meters Olympic gold. She did i

8、t again oneyear on at the World Championship in Briton, becoming world champion with a time of10.73the fourth record ever.Shelly-Ann is a little woman with a big smile. She has a mental toughness that did not comeabout by chance. Her journey to becoming the fastest woman on earth has been anything b

9、utsmooth and effortless. She grew up in one of Jamaicas toughest inner-city communities known asWaterhouse, where she lived in a one-room apartment, sleeping four in a bed with her mother andtwo brothers. Waterhouse, one of the poorest communities in Jamaica, is a really violent andoverpopulated pla

10、ce. Several of Shelly-Anns friends and family were caught up in the killings;one of her cousins was shot dead only a few streets away from where she lived. Sometimes her1浙江专升本考前 10 套密押预测卷英 语欣迈专升本-浙江专升本辅导专业品牌family didnt have enough to eat. She ran at the school championships barefooted because sheco

12、at her kids would not end up in Waterhouses roundabout of poverty. One of the firstthings Maxime used to do with Shelly-Ann was taking her to the track, and she was ready tosacrifice everything. It didnt take long for Shelly-Ann to realize that sports could be her way outof Waterhouse. On a summer e

13、vening in Beijing in 2008, all those long, hard hours of work andcommitment finally bore fruit. The barefoot kid who just a few years previously had been living inpoverty, surrounded by criminals and violence, had written a new chapter in the history of sports.But Shelly-Anns victory was far greater

14、 than that. The night she won Olympic gold inBeijing, the routine murders in Waterhouse and the drug wars in the neighbouring streets stopped.The dark cloud above one of the worlds toughest criminal neighborhoods simply disappeared fora few days. “I have so much fire burning for my country, ”Shelly

15、said She plans to start afoundation for homeless children and wants to build a community centre in Waterhouse. Shehopes to inspire the Jamaicans to lay down their weapons. She intends to fight to make it awomans as well as a mans world.As Muhammad Ali puts it, “Champions arent made in gyms. Champion

21、stions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:Peoples tastes in recreation differ widely. At a recent festival of pop-music in the Isle ofWight, crowds of teenagers flocked to listen to their favorite singers and musicians. They wentwith single railway tickets and slept in the open, a very risky

22、 thing to do in the climate of Britain,even in August. They were packed together like sardines for four days. There were innumerablethieves, a gang of roughs tried several times to break things up, and police were everywhere. Atthe end of the festival many young fans found themselves broke, with no

23、money left,and they haddifficulty in getting back home. Most people would consider these conditions a nightmare ofdiscomfort; the fans appeared to enjoy it all enormously.Even in the overcrowded United Kingdom there are large tracts of open un-spoilt country,where people with more traditional tastes

24、 can go for quiet, and for the sense of freedom theyderive from contact with nature. In the national parks especially, modern development of housingand industry is strictly controlled. Visitors may walk for miles through landscape of the greatestbeauty and wildness, and often of considerable histori

25、c or scientific interest. Along the coasts ofsome of the maritime counties, public pathways have been created; these paths stretch for manymiles along cliffs that look out on the Atlantic Ocean or the English Channel. Another path,lyinginland, goes along the range of mountains in the north of Englan

26、d. It is called the Pennine Way.Here, the long-distance waller and the nature-lover can find much to enjoy, without feelingdisturbed by large numbers of their fellows.Yet few people make full use of the national parks established for everyones benefit. Thecommonest thing nowadays is for family group

27、s to motor out to a beautiful spot and park theircars in a lay-by (英国的路旁停车带). A picnic basket is produced, along with a folding table andchairs, a kettle and a portable stove. They then settle down to a picnic in the lay-by beside the car.Apparently their idea of enjoyment is to get into the fresh a

28、ir and amongst the country sights andsounds without having to wall a yard. They seem almost to like to hear and to smell the traffic.6.

30、opedD. expanses of land where nobody works9.

Family groups nowadays like to_.A. have meals out of door

31、s by the road-sideB. go for a walk away from homeC. drive out past the beautiful placesD. hear and smell the animalsPassage threeQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goesshopping because he needs s

32、omething. His purpose is settled and decided in advance. He knowswhat he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration. Allmen simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock,the salesman promptly produces it,

33、and the business of trying it on proceeds at once. All beingwell, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and toeveryones satisfaction.For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants, or doesnot have exactly what he wants.

34、 In that case the salesman, as the name implies, tries to sell thecustomer something else-he offers the nearest he can to the article required. No good salesmanbrings out such a substitute bluntly; he does so with skill and polish. I know this jacket is not thestyle you want, sir, but would you like

35、 to try it for size? It happens to be the color you mentioned. Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual response is: This is the right color andmay be the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on. Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? In almost ev

36、ery respect she does so in theopposite way. Her shopping is not often based on need. She has never fully made up her mindwhat she wants, and she is onlyhaving a look around. She is always open to persuasion; indeedshe sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her, even by what companions tell he

37、r. She willtry on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something thateveryone thinks suits her. Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of valuewhen they buy clothes. They are always on the look-out for the unexpected bargain. Faced with aroomf

38、ul of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another, to and fro,often retracing her steps,before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a laborious process,but apparently an enjoyable one. So most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.11. When a man

39、 is buying clothes, _.A. he chooses things that others recommendB. he buys cheap things, regardless of qualityC. he buys good things, so long as they are not too expensiveD. he does not mind how much he has to pay for the right things12. In commerce a good salesman is one who_.A. sells something a c

40、ustomer does not particularly wantB. always has in stock the thing the customer wants4浙江专升本考前 10 套密押预测卷英 语欣迈专升本-浙江专升本辅导专业品牌C. can find out quickly the goods requiredD. does not waste his time on difficult customers13.

41、hat is similar enough to the ideal one.B. He usually does not buy anything.C. At least two of his requirements must be met before he buys.D. So long as the style is right, he buys the thing.14.

43、n.D. The time they take over buying clothes.Passage fourQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:Fried foods have long been frowned upon. Nevertheless, the skillet (长柄平底煎锅) is aboutour handiest and most useful piece of kitchen equipment. Strong woodcutters and others engagedin active la

44、bor requiring 4,000 calories per day or more will take approximately one-third of theirrations prepared in this fashion. Meat, eggs, and French toast cooked in this way are served inmillions of homes daily. Apparently the consumers are not beset with more signs of indigestionthan afflicted by those

45、who insist upon broiling, roasting, or boiling. Some years ago one of ourmost eminent physiologists investigated the digestibility of fried potatoes. He found that the panvariety was more easily broken down for assimilation than when deep fat was employed. Thelatter, however, dissolved within the al

46、imentary tract (消化道) more readily than the boiled type.Furthermore, he learned, by watching the progress of the contents of the stomach by means ofthe fluoroscope (荧光检查仪), that fat actually accelerated the rate of digestion. Now all this isquite in contrast with authority. Volumes have been written

47、on nutrition, and everywhere thedictum (权威意见) has been accepted-no fried edibles of any sort for children. A few will go sofar as to forbid this style of cooking wholly. Now and then an expert will be bold enough to admitthat he uses them himself, the absence of discomfort being explained on the gro

48、und that hepossesses a powerful gastric (胃的)apparatus. We can of course sizzle perfectly good articles todeath so that they will be leathery and tough. But thorough heating, in the presence of shortening,is not the awful crime that it has been labeled. Such dishes stimulate rather than retardcontrac

49、tions of the gall bladder. Thus it is that bile (胆汁) mixes with the nutriment shortly after itleaves the stomach.We dont need to allow our foodstuffs to become oil soaked, but other than that, there seemsto be no basis for the widely heralded prohibition against this method. But notions become fixed

50、.The first condemnation probably rose because an oracle (圣贤) suffered from dyspepsia (消化不良) which he ascribed to some fried item on the menu. The theory spread. Others agreed with5浙江专升本考前 10 套密押预测卷英 语欣迈专升本-浙江专升本辅导专业品牌him, and after a time the doctrine became incorporated in our textbooks. The belief

51、 is nowtradition rather than proved fact. It should have been refuted long since, as experience hasdemonstrated its falsity.16. This passage focuses on_.A. why the skillet is a handy piece of kitchen equipmentB. the digestibility of fried foodsC. how the experts can mislead the public in the area of
