This is certainly what happened in my 36 .When I was 14, I was hitchhiking (免费搭车) from Houston, Texas, through El Paso on my 37 to California. I, a high school dropout with learning 38 , was following my dream, and decided to surf the biggest 39 in the world, first in California and then in Hawaii, where I would later live. Upon reaching downtown El Paso, I met an old man, a begger, on the street corner, who stopped me and asked if I was 40 away from home. I told him, “Not exactly, sir.”While at home, my father said to me, “It is important to 41 your dream and what is in your heart. Son.”After chatting for a few minutes, the 42 beggar told me to follow him. He told me that he had something grand to 43 with me. We walked a couple of blocks until we came to a library, where the beggar first 44 me to a table and asked me to wait for a moment 45 he looked for something special among the shelves. A few moments later, he 46 with a couple of old books under his arms, and then started with a few statements that were very 47 and that changed my life. He said, “There are two things that I want to 48 you:“Number one is never to judge a book by its cover, for a cover can 49 you. Well, young man, I’ve got a little 50 for you. I am one of the wealthiest men in the world. But a year ago, my wife 51 away. I realized there were certain things I had not yet 52 in life, one of which is to live like a beggar on the streets. So, you see, don’t ever judge a book by its cover.”“Number two is to learn how to 53 , my boy. For there is only one thing that people can’t take away from you, and that is your wisdom.” At the moment, he presented the 54 of Plato and Aristotle--- immortal (不朽的)classics from ancient times.The beggar then led me back on the streets near where we 55 met.

You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings. The desire to pick up a book with an attractive dust jacket is irresistible, although this method of selection ought not to be followed, as you might end up with a rather dull book.You soon become interested in some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realise you have spent far too much time there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointment- without buying a book, of course.This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, I think, the main attraction of a bookshop. There are not many places where it is possible to do this. A music shop is very much like a bookshop. You can wander round such places to your heart’s content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will approach you with the unavoidable greeting: “Can I help you, sir?” You needn’t buy anything you don’t want. In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished looking through. Then, and only then, are his services necessary. Of course, you may want to find out where a particular section is, but when he has led you there, the assistant should retire carefully and look as if he is not interested in selling a single book.You have to be careful not to be attracted by the variety of books in a bookshop. It is very easy to enter the shop looking for a book on, say ancient coins and to come out carrying a copy of the latest best-selling novel and perhaps a book about brass-rubbing--- something which had only slightly interested you up till then. This volume on the subject, however, happened to be so well illustrated and the part of the text you read proved so interesting that you just had to buy it. This sort of thing can be very dangerous. Apart from running up a huge account, you can waste a great deal of time wandering from section to section.56. The underline phrase “dust jacket” means ______.A. a kind of clothesB. a paper cover of a bookC. a dusty bookD. a title of a book57. You may spend too much time in a bookshop because ______.A. the dust jackets are very attractiveB. you start reading one of the booksC. it is raining outsideD. you have to make sure you won’t buy a dull book as a present58. In a good bookshop ______.A. all the books there are interestingB. the assistant greets you in a warm wayC. your heart is satisfiedD. you feel that you are in a music shop59. The best title for this passage may be _____.A. The Attraction of BookshopsB. How to Spend Your TimeC. Bookshops and Their AssistantsD. How to Select BooksBCould an 18-year-old orphan who never went to school win the toughest quiz show on TV? This is the basic idea of Slumdog Millionaire.The film has become a global hit since cleaning up at the Golden Globes --- the Hollywood foreign press association’s favorite picks --- winning four awards. It is being heavily tipped for Oscar success next month.Slumdog has caused widespread concern. Watching Jamal struggle through life in the slum(贫民窟) of Mumbai is really heart-breaking.By the end of the film, I found myself willing him on to get the final question right and be reunited with his childhood sweetheart, Latika.Why is the film such a surprise candidate for the Oscars? The film is British made, and set fully in India. Both of these countries normally have to struggle to make an influence in Hollywood. But Slumdog has not been without its critics. Alice Miles wrote in The Times that it was wrong to use other people’s poverty as entertainment. “ When we are lost in enjoying scenes of horror among children in slums on the other side of the world, we ought to question where our moral compass is pointing,” she said.Anyway, most of India has reacted positively. Indian filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar told the UK’s Telegraph, “It is an excellent film which describes real poverty and real life in India.” One Indian newspaper ran the headline, Indian tale catches global fancy.But Oscar success is not a given. When the nominations (提名) are announced on February 22, Slumdog is expected to face fierce competition from The Dark Knight, starring the late Heath Ledger, as well as The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, a historical drama starring Brad Pitt.60. You can probably find this article ______.A. in a film magazineB. in a book on film artC. in a newspaperD. in a love story61. The film Slumdog appeals to ______.A. not all the peopleB. all the people in IndiaC. all the British peopleD. nobody in the world62. The text indicates that ______.A. slum refers to a rich placeB. there is no love story in the filmC. all the people enjoy the scenes of povertyD. the film has a long way to go to win the Oscar Award63. The author’s attitude towards the film is that ______.A. he doesn’t care much about itB. he doesn’t comment on itC. he is optimistic about itD. he is pessimistic about itCSafety and Security ProceduresYour safety and the security of your personal property are of the primary concern to those of us who welcome you as our guest.

The mission also plans to share information with other countries working in the area, military officials said.The operation is China’s first major naval mission abroad. The two missile destroyers Haikou and Wuhan are top-of-the-line Chinese navy ships. They sail at a speed of 30 knots (海里) anhour.On board a destroyer, there are two helicopters, anti-aircraft missiles, anti-vessel missiles and cannon torpedoes (鱼雷). The destroyers can direct fire at a target 10 km away.One major problem for the ships is how they will resupply so far away from home. Officials said it will mostly depend on the supply ship, but China will also have talks with other countries in the area to allow the ships to sail into a harbour and resupply.Though the purpose of the mission is to protect Chinese ships and crew, China has called for stepped-up cooperation on anti-piracy efforts.China announced it was sending warships to the area after the UN Security Council gave permission to nations to conduct land and air attacks on pirate bases.“During the escort (护卫舰) operation, Chinese ships are ready and willing to strengthen information and intelligence sharing as well as conduct humanitarian rescue operations with vessels of other countries according to the situation on the ground,”said Huang Xueping, spokesman of the Ministry of National Defense.The plan is for a mission of three months, according to Chinese news media. Piracy has taken an increasing passing money on international shipping, especially in the Gulf of Aden, one of the world’s busiest sea passages. Pirates have made an estimated $30 million hijacking (劫持) ships this year, seizing more than 40 vessels off Somalia’s 3,000 km coastline.68. What is the main idea of the passage?A. It is a general introduction to the People’s Liberation Army Navy in China.B. It mainly informs us how serious the problem of piracy has become.C. It mainly introduces readers to China’s first major naval mission abroad.D. It mainly tells readers why China sent the warships to Somalia last week.69. According to the article the Chinese warships off Somalia will not ______.A. protect Chinese commercial ships and crewB. share information with other countries working in the areaC. conduct humanitarian rescue operations with vesselsD. help Somali government to fight against violence70. What can we conclude from the passage?A. The mission has been given permission by the UN Security Council.B. The Gulf of Aden is the busiest sea passage in the world.C. The forces on the destroyers will carry heavy weapons.D. It’s estimated that pirates off Somalia seized 50 vessels last year.71. How many ways are mentioned to solve the resupply for the Chinese ships?A. OneB. TwoC. ThreeD. FourE. Staying positive through the cold season could be the best defence against getting sick, a new American study suggests.In an experiment that exposed healthy volunteers to a cold or flu virus, reasarchers found that people with a generally sunny emotion were less likely to fall ill.The findings, published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, build on evidence that a “positive emotional style” can help avoid the common cold and other illnesses.“People with a positive emotional style may have different immune responses to the virus,”explained the lead study author Dr Sheldon Cohen of Camegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. “ And when they do get a cold, they may experience their illness as less severe.”Cohen and his colleagues had found in a previous study that happier people seemed to be less likely to be influenced by catching a cold, but some questions remained as to whether the emotional quality itself had the effect.For the new study, the researchers had 193 healthy adults complete standard measures ofpersonality qualities, physical health and “emotional style”.Those who tended to be happy, energetic and easy-going were judged as having a positive emotional style, while those who were often unhappy, tense and hostile (敌意的) had a negative style.Afterwards, the researchers gave them nose drops containing either a cold virus or a particular flu virus that causes flu-like symptoms. Over the next six days the volunteers reported on any aches, pains and sneezes they had. Cohen and his colleagues found that happy people were less likely to develop a cold.What’s more, when happy folks did develop a cold, their symptoms were less severe than would be expected based on objective(客观的) measures.72. The purpose of Cohen’s new study was to ______.A. find effective ways to fight illnessesB. test people’s different immune responses to cold virusesC. tell the differences between happy people and unhappy peopleD. make sure that immune system was related to emotional style73. How did Cohen reach his conclusion?A. By comparing the experimental results of different groups.B. By asking the volunteers to complete a form.C. By collecting data among people with a cold.D. By observing the volunteers’stmptoms.74. Cohen’s study showed that ______.A. emotional style is difficult to changeB. happy people are immune to cold virusesC. people’s attitudes toward illnesses are differentD. happiness itself helps protect people from cold symptoms75. We can conclude from the text that _______.A. success is the twin of positive spiritsB. we get more by being more positiveC. the happier we are, the fewer colds we will sufferD. physical health is more important than mental health第II卷(非选择题,共35分)第四部分:写作(共两节,满分35分)第一节:短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)此题要求改正所给短文的错误。
