We come by business naturally in our family. Each of the seven children in our family worked in our father’s store. 36 we worked and watched, we learned that work was about more than 37 and making a sale. One lesson stands out in my 38 . It was shortly before Christmas. I was in eighth grade and was working evenings, straightening the toy section. A little boy, five or six years old, came in. He was 39 a brown torn coat with dirty sleeves. His shoes were scuffed and his one shoelace was torn. The little boy looked poor to me — too poor to 40 to buy anything. He looked 41 the toy section, picked up this item and 42 , and carefully put them 43 in their place.Dad came down the stairs and walked over to the boy. His steel blue eyes 44 and the dimple(酒窝) in his cheek stood out as he asked the boy what he could do for him. The boy said he was looking for a Christmas 45 to buy his brother. I was impressed that Dad treated him with the same respect as any adult. Dad told him to take his 46 and look around. He did.
After about 20 minutes, the little boy carefully picked up a toy 47 , walked up to my dad and said, “How much for this, Mister?”
“How much you got?” Dad asked.
The little boy held out his hand and 48 it. His hand was creased(起皱) with 49 lines of dirt from holding his 50 too tightly. In his hand 51 two dimes, a nickel and two pennies—27 cents. The price on the toy plane he’d picked out was $3.98.
“That’ll just 52 it,” Dad said as he 53 the sale. Dad’s reply still 54 in my ears. When the little boy walked out of the store, I didn’t notice the dirty, worn coat or the single torn shoelace. What I saw was a happy child with a 55 .

第三部分 阅读理解 (共两节,满分40分)
第一节 阅读短文,选择答案 (共17小题;每小题两分,满分34分)
阅读下面短文,从每题所给的四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Half of all bosses say a lack of sleep makes them irritable and prone to(有……倾向的) shout at their staff, a study said. One in five managers also said being kept awake at night meant they were more likely to make mistakes, the Mori poll of 1,006 people revealed(显示). Some 48% of people aged 35 to 44 said they did not get enough sleep compared to a national average 39%. Among that age group, people with young children and managerial (治理的) jobs were most likely to suffer. The report, commissioned (委托) by the think tank Demos and Ikea, said the issue of sleep had been forgotten in the work / life balance debate. Report author Charles Leadbeater said, "On any working day, a quarter of all managers in Britain are likely to be in a bad mood because they have not slept well. " "These sleep-deprived and shouty managers with a tendency to make mistakes are responsible for millions of British workers. It’s hardly a recipe for good management. " And Mr. Leadbeater called on the government and employers to take action. A small loss of sleep is likely to have a big impact on people who lead stressful lives. "Stressed out parents are already not sleeping enough. They are the people most likely to have their sleep disrupted and they are least able to recover." Apart from children keeping their parents awake, worrying about work is the biggest cause of wakefulness at night among managers. Women are five times more likely than men to lose sleep because their partners snore (打呼噜).
The report predicted that there was likely to be a growing market of sleep-deprived people, with an increase in "public napping". Opportunities to take a nap at work are also likely to increase, and the report recommended that employers take their responsibility for ensuring employees were well slept more seriously. Peter Jelkeby, marketing manager at Ikea, said the research confirmed suspicions Britons were not getting enough sleep. And he added: "This is having a detrimental effect on our society as a whole. " 56. Which of following is true according to the text? A. Half of the people say a lack of sleep makes them irritable. B. 20% managers said being kept awake at night meant they were more likely to make mistakes. C. Over 48% of the people whose ages range between 35 and 44 said they did not get enough sleep. D. People with young children and managerial jobs were most likely to suffer. 57. What does the underlined word "detrimental" mean? A 良好的. B.有害的 C.片面的 D.致命的 58. Who that suffered sleep disrupted are least able to recover? A. The bosses. B. Managers. C. People aged 35 to 44. D. Stressed out parents. 59. Apart from children keeping their parents awake, ________is the biggest cause of
wakefulness at night among managers. A. worrying about work B. their partners’ snoring C. the relationship D. working conditions
B
A Chilean(智利) soap-opera star, a beauty from Ancient Pompeii and a freckled (雀斑的)boyish girl hardly make an average beauty show line-up.
The first world-wide digital beauty contest to the surprise of many online fans was won by a woman who is virtually(虚拟) real flesh and bones. “Virtual models are not the anti-real, they are a different representation of reality,” said Franz Cerami, the organiser of Miss Digital World (数字世界小姐).
Each of the contestants had to provide the charming photo of high degrees, with date of birth and body measurements.
Chilean Rodolfo Perez Ayala decided that no figure of his imagination could beat the beauty of his wife, Katty Kowaleczko, so he hired artist Flavio Parra to recreate her. Kowaleczko, who plays Paula Sandoval in the popular Latin American soap opera Tentacion, was transformed into Katty-ko and won the digital contest with more than 17,000 online votes.
“I’m so happy Katty-ko won. I think her strength is her similarity to a real woman---not too luxurious or exposed”, Kowaleczko, 40, told reporters. “Her beauty is in her simplicity.” Kowaleczko was not afraid of being replaced by her 3D clone in movies or theatres, but hoped she would become “a sort of ambassador of Chilean beauty”.
Cerami said Latin American interest in Miss Digital World had greatly increased since Katty-ko joined the contest, which attracted about 3600 entries from countries from Iran to Australia and even from the ancient Roman empire.
“Pompea” was the digital reconstruction of a young woman killed by the outbreak of Vesuvius in 79 AD. “She was a slave, but also a rich man’s lover. When her body was discovered, many jewels and a bangle(手镯) with the writing ‘from the master to his servant girl’ were found” said Genny Tortora, a professor at the University of Salerno who led Pompea’s creative team.
Other contestants included Kaya, the most realistic model with digital freckles, pouty (噘起的) lips and upturned nose.
Now, Cerami’s dream is to manage a form of virtual beauties, introducing them for calendars, games, ads, and movies. One is even reported to be heading for Playboy’s front page.
60.The winner in the first Miss Digital World contest was ________.
A. a star who performed in some soap operas
B. a beauty who came from Chilean
C. a beauty who was from the ancient Roman empire
D. a made-up beauty based on a real woman.
61. Which group of the following are the names for the digital beauties mentioned in the passage?
A. Katty-ko, Pompea, Kaya. B. Katty Kowaleczko, Pompea, Playboy.
C. Flavio Parra, Genny Tortora, Franz Cerami.D. Rodolfo Perez Ayala, Pompea, Franz Cerami
62. The digital beauty “Pompea” was created by ________.
A. Genny Tortora B. a group of people C. by a young woman D. a rich man
63. What the organiser of Miss Digital World wants to do next is ________.
A. sell pictures of beauties for calendars B. hold another contest
C. put the digital beauties into practical use. D. start an ads company

They once seemed more at home on the bustling streets of Asia like Delhi, Calcutta and Bangkok but cycle powered rickshaws (人力车) can now be seen taking people across town in many European cities. Many people believe that rickshaws are a good way of experiencing a city, close-up, while also cutting down on traffic jams and pollution.
In Berlin, one of the first cities to introduce this new mode of transport, more than 200 bike-taxis go along at 15km per hour, past many tourist attractions and city parks.
It is completely environmentally friendly; we have new models with an engine to help the driver up the hills but they use renewable energy," said a spokesman for VELOTAXI, the leading rickshaw company which has carried a quarter of a million people this year.
In Amsterdam, driver Peter Jancso said people like to be driven around in his bright yellow rickshaw and pretend to be a queen in a golden carriage. "I like my passengers to feel important," he said as he dropped off another passenger. Another visitor noted how cheap it was compared with a normal taxi.
Although increasingly popular in Europe, it is the opposite in India, where hand-pulled rickshaws are considered inhuman and a symbol of India's backward past.
Nearly 500 bike-rickshaws are running in London and are not required to pay the city's road tax but things may change as other taxi drivers complain of unfair treatment.
68. Where are rickshaws becoming more popular?
A. Delhi, Berlin, Paris. B. Amsterdam, Bangkok, Delhi.
C. Athens, London, Berlin. D. Berlin, Amsterdam, London.
69. Why are rickshaws no longer as widely used in India as in the past?
A. They are a reminder of a bad period in India's history.
B. They have been banned because they are too cruel.
C. The streets of India are too crowded for them to move through easily.
D. Indians now prefer to travel by car because they are richer.
70. What does the underlined sentence "This is something out of the ordinary ... you feel you are on holiday in Bangkok instead of Berlin" suggest?
A. The passenger didn't like taking a rickshaw as it reminded him of Bangkok .
B. The passenger enjoyed being on holiday in Berlin more than in Bangkok .
C. The passenger was impressed when taking a rickshaw and considered it unusual.
D. The passenger disapproved of rickshaws because they were not original to Berlin .
71. Which of the following is mentioned in the text?
A. Rickshaws may need to pay tax for causing traffic jams.
B. Rickshaws and taxis are treated differently in London .
C. Rickshaws will eventually take the place of taxis.
D. Rickshaws will always be a cheap means of transport.
72. What is the author's attitude towards rickshaws?
A. He gives no personal opinion.
B. He believes they will be of no use.
C. He thinks they will reduce pollution.
D. He thinks they are old-fashioned.
第二节 阅读短文,简要回答问题 (共三小题,每小题2分,满分6分 )
While drunken driving may be on the decline, traffic safety experts remain puzzled over how to deal with another alcohol related danger: drunken pedestrians(行人).
Pedestrians struck and killed by cars often are extremely drunk. In fact, they are intoxicated(喝醉的,极其兴奋的) more frequently--and with higher blood alcohol levels--than drunken drivers who are killed in accidents, various studies have shown. Forty percent of adult pedestrians involved in fatal crashes have a blood alcohol level of at least 0.10-which by law in most states signifies intoxication-compared to only 25 percent of drivers in deadly accidents, according to recent federal data.
Some types of pedestrian accidents have been declining nationally, especially those involving children, but the number of adult pedestrians who are drunk when killed in traffic has remained relatively steady at 2500 a year. The total number of pedestrians killed annually in U.S. traffic accidents is at least 7000, or one of every seven highway accidents resulting in death.
“We’re dealing here, we think, with a very severe drinking problem that leads to a severe highway safety problem,” said Richard Blomberg, president of Dunlap and Associates Inc, in Norwalk, Coon. Blomberg, whose consulting company found a very high rate of alcohol involvement in a controlled study of pedestrian accidents in New Orleans, was among several researchers who spoke on the topic at the annual meeting of the Research council’s Transportation Research Board(TRB) in Washington in January.
Pedestrian accidents have not received enough attention in the past, according to Kay Colpitts, who chairs the board’s committee on pedestrians. Few methods exist to monitor walking habits, she said, and researchers have been mystified(迷惑) about how to prevent disasters.
73.Find a word in the passage closest in meaning to the underlined word crash
74.What would be the best title for the passage?(不超过5个词)
75.According to the passage, what is Blomberg?(不超过3个词)

In a society such as the United States or Canada, which has many national, religious, and cultural differences, people highly value individualism—the differences among people. Teachers place a lot of importance on the equalities that make each student special. The educational systems in these countries show these values. Students do not memorize information. Instead, they work individually and find answers themselves. There is often discussion in the classroom. At an early age, students learn to form their own ideas and opinions.
In most Asian societies, by contrast, the people have the same language, history, and culture. Perhaps for this reason, the educational system in much of the Orient reflects society’s belief in group goals and purposes rather than individualism. Children in China, Japan and Korea often work together and help one another on assignments. In the classroom, the teaching methods are often very formal. The teacher lectures, and the students listen. There is not much discussion. Instead, the students recite rules and information that they have memorized.
There are advantages and disadvantages to both of these systems of education. For example, one advantage to the system in Japan is that students there learn much more math and science than American students learn by the end of high school. They also study more hours each day and more days each year than North Americans do. The system is difficult, but it prepares students for a society that values discipline and self-control. There is, however, a disadvantage. Memorization is an important learning method in Japanese schools, yet many students say that after an exam, they forget much of the information that they have memorized.
The advantage of the educational system in North America, on the other hand, is that students learn to think for themselves. The system prepares them for a society that values creative ideas. There is, however, a disadvantage. When students graduate from high school, they haven’t memorized as many basis rules and facts as students in other countries have.
