"Most of my coworkers were formerly imprisoned.So,it caught me by surprise how much the people on the bottom of the society uplifted me and really wanted me to make something of myself," he told the reporter. "They encouraged me to reapply to college.They had nothing but uplifting words for me and my future."Through persistence,he took the LSAT and applied to nine schools - getting accepted to five.Ultimately,he decided to commit to Harvard Law School - and he'll never forget all the people who helped him get there. "Throughout this time,people ask me,'How did you do it？' It's more so how could I not do it when everyone is breaking their backs for me,and pushing me to win." Staton said. "When you have a support system,you want to give them your best shot.Because as much as you're investing（投入）into yourself,you have others investing into you too."4.What can we know about Staton from paragraph 2？______A. He received special care from his teacher.B. He used to have poor academic performance.C. He worked three jobs to help support his family.D. He lost sight of his goal due to family difficulties.5.What does the underlined word "dwindled" in paragraph 3 probably mean？______A. Decreased.B. Changed.C. Appeared.D. Continued.6.What made Staton surprised while working as a trash collector？______A. The mixed backgrounds of his coworkers.B. The misunderstanding about garbage men.C. The strong encouragement from his coworkers.D. The misfortune of people at the bottom of society.7.What can we infer from the text？______A. Courage is resistance to fear and pain.B. Success comes from sweat and support.C. Achievements are going from failure to failure.D. Progress takes place outside the comfort zone.C"Hope has proved a powerful predictor of outcome in every study we've done so far," said Dr.Snyder,a psychologist.In research with 3，920 college students,Dr.Snyder found that the level of hope among freshmen at the beginning of their first term was a more accurate predictor of their college grades than were their S.A.T.scores or their grade point averages in high school. "Students with high hope set themselves higher goals and know how to work to attain them," Dr.Snyder said. "When you compare students with equal learning ability and past school achievements,what sets them apart is hope."In seeking a way to assess hope scientifically,Dr.Snyder went beyond the usual belief that hope is merely the sense that everything will turn out all right. "This idea is not concrete enough；it fails to clarify two key components of hope," Dr.Snyder said."Having hope means believing you have both the will and the way to accomplish your goals,whatever they may be."Despite the wisdom in the old saying "where there's a will there's a way," Dr.Snyder has found that the two are not necessarily connected.In a study of people from 18 to 70 yearsold,Dr.Snyder discovered：only about 40% of people are hopeful in the technical sense of believing they typically have the energy and means to accomplish their goals；about 20% of the people believed in their ability to find the means to attain their goals,but said they had little will to do so；another 20% have the opposite pattern,saying they had the energy to motivate themselves but little confidence that they would find the means；the rest had little hope at all,reporting that they typically had neither the will nor the way."It's not enough just to have the wish for something," said Dr.Snyder. "You need the means,too.On the other hand,all the skills to solve a problem won't help without the willpower to do it."8.What does Dr.Snyder think can best predict a freshman's academic performance？______A. His S.A.T.scores.B. His high school grades.C. His level of hope.D. His family background.9.The underlined word "concrete" in the third paragraph probably means ______ .A. clearB. pureC. universalD. popular10.What did Dr.Synder say about the old saying "where there's will there's a way"？______A. It is quite realistic.B. It is not inspiring to students.C. It is totally wrong.D. It is not always true in reality.11.What can be the most suitable title for the passage？______A. No pains,no gains.B. Hope emerges as key to success.C. Will gets it going.D. Where there's a will there's a way.DAfter finishing a meal at an American Chinese restaurant you probably expect to receive a handful of fortune cookies after you pay the bill.Fortune cookies are in Chinese restaurants throughout the United States.It's rather satisfying to crack open a cookie at the end of your meal and read your "lucky fortune" on the slip of paper inside.The exact origin of the fortune cookie is unknown.It is thought that the tasty snack was the first introduced into San Francisco in 1914，after an immigrant began distributing the cookie with "thank you" notes in them.These "thank you" notes were intended as symbols of appreciation for friends who stood with him through the economic hardship and discrimination of his early life in America.There is an alternate origin story.Los Angeles is regarded as the site of the fortune cookie's invention.In this version of the story,David Jung,a Chinese immigrant residing in L.A.，is thought to have created the cookie in order to uplift the spirits of the poor and homeless.In 1918，Jung handed out the cookies for free to the poor outside his shop and each cookie contained a strip of paper with an inspirational sentence printed on it.Fortune cookies first began to gain popularity in mainstream American culture duringWWⅡ.Chinese restaurants would serve them in place of desserts,as desserts were not popular in traditional Chinese cuisine.Today fortune cookies are not tied to Chinese-American culture.In fact,the largest fortune cookie manufacturer is located in the United States and it produces 4.5 million fortune cookies a day - an evidence to the modern-day popularity of the snack.However,an attempt to introduce the fortune cookie to China in 1992 was a failure,andthe cookie was cited for being "too American."So the next time you break open a fortune cookie and read a fortune about the many successes you should expect in your future,remember that the conclusion to your Chinese restaurant meal may not be as Chinese as you think.12.What do we know about fortune cookies？______A. They are as popular in China as in America.B. They contain slips of paper with good wishes.C. They first appeared in America during WWⅡ.D. They are often charged to the customers' bill.13.Why were fortune cookies introduced into San Francisco？______A. To make profit.B. To express gratitude.C. To uplift people's spirits.D. To help people out of hardship.14.Which of the following sentences may be found in Jung's cookies？______A. The fortune you seek is in another cookie.B. Every exit is an entrance to new experiences.C. I'm being held prisoner by a Chinese bakery.D. Only taste fortune cookies；disregard all others.15.What can be a suitable title for the text？______A. A Symbol of Chinese CultureB. Chinese Restaurants in AmericaC. Can fortune cookie tell your fortune？D. Fortune cookie,Chinese or American？二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分）Last Sunday I was thinking about the difference between successful people and those who don't achieve anything significant.I made an interesting discovery.This difference may at first look obvious,but the fact is quite the opposite. (1)Everyone has a purpose behind their actions.If they don't,they wouldn't take action.(2) When they take action,at the back of their minds they think about success that this action is going to bring them.(3) What's the purpose behind your actions？Do you work to thrive （蓬勃发展）or to survive？Do you go to work to feed your family or to create an amazing lifestyle？Different purposes will result in completely different life experiences.People who work to survive are the ones who fear that some unexpected bill will arrive.They go to bed worrying about money and unimportant things.They hate their employment but don't quit because they doubt their own ability to create something greater.I know this kind of feeling because I was like that once.That's a very uncomfortable state to be in because you are constantly worried about insignificant things. (4) Therefore,you cannot achieve anything great.Now there are some people who don't accept the "Life is hard" story and they are fueled by an entirely different purpose.They work to thrive. (5) They have a beautiful vision and they take constant action to make that vision a reality.A.So let me ask you a few questions.B.This state does not allow you to be creative.C.It lies in what motivates people to take action.D.Such an attitude invites great opportunities to you.E.And they don't think about why something cannot be done.F.And this makes you take even more or better quality action.G.But successful people have a completely different purpose behind their actions.16.
