Albert Einstein was unable to get a job as a physics professor. He could have said to himself, “Well, I just dont have the work relative to physics. I should give up on it and settle for something else.” Instead, he wrote the two most famous papers while employed as a patent（專利）clerk. After their publication, there was not a major university in the world that would not have been glad to have him on their staff.If you want to work as an artist and you are making a living as a waiter, dont think of yourself as a waiter who hopes one day to become an artist. That puts the work you love somewhere off in the distant future. Rather, think of yourself as an artist, supporting yourself by waiter tablesand paint, or draw as much as you can. It is possible to earn a living wage as a waiter working 24 hours a week. That leaves plenty of time to devote to training or developing your craft（工藝）in the off hours.While seeking the work you love, it helps to expand your awareness（意識）into the universe of all possibilities. You dont want to be limited to the ideas of what you should do or what you have done before. Having opened to all possibilities, you can make a final decision and select the work you love as your own.Doing the work you love requires that you be equally comfortable with the imaginative and the practical. It requires the ability to dream big dreams and the ability to face and master all the little details that make dreams come true.56According to the passage, perhaps Einstein once said to himself, “_.”AWell, I just dont have the work relative to physics. I should give up on it and settle for something elseBThe job is just what I want, I should work very hard at itCI have to support myself by working as a patent clerk now, but I wont give physics upDI must wait until I find my favorite job57If a person works 24 hours a week, he can_.Ahave enough spare time for his hobbies Bhave no time left to make his dream come trueCdo nothing else Dmake a good living58Which of the following is not implied in the last paragraph?ASometimes the imaginative is different from the practical.BWe have to take care of a lot of details before we make our dreams come true.CWe shall do practical things rather than dream.DWe shall dream big dreams and practice as well.59According to the passage, the author encourages us to _.Astart work quickly Bselect job carefully and patientlyCdream often Dmake up our minds quicklyBEllis Island is located in New York.

The study of Fudan University, one of Chinas top universities, of 489 students, found that 82 had chosen Dantes “Follow your own path and dont worry about what others say” as their motto, out of 278 people who said they had a motto. This was followed by “Believe yourself” and “Self-improvement without stop.”Students also expressed a common hope for greater understanding and care and said they were always ready to give a hand to those in need.Some researchers think that mottoes can play an important part in childrens growth and they say that a good motto can help children develop a better character.64The study shows _.Awhat poems are popular Bhow many students like the motto “Believe yourself.”Cwhich university should have mottoesDthe majority of the students like to choose their favorite mottoes65Of the students asked, _ students have mottoes.Aabout 57%Babout 16%Cabout 78%Dabout 8%66The motto “Self-improvement without stop” shares the similar meaning with _.Agrowing by oneself continuously Bmaking oneself better and perfect continuouslyCgoing on to improve rapidly Dbecoming better without having a break67The best title for the passage should be _.AStudents and PoetBMottoes and LearningCMottoes and Character DevelopingDUnderstanding Care68What do we know from the passage?AThe students want to be understood and cared and are willing to help.BThe students want to understand themselves deeper with a motto chosen.CThe students need help and care greatly.DThe students believe they understand mottoes better than others.D“Business is war.” The traditional language of business certainly makes it sound that way: winning the competition, getting market share, beating up suppliers, locking up customers. There are the victors and the losers.But today in doing business, you have to listen to stomers, work with suppliers, keep good relations-even with competitors. That doesnt sound like war. Besides, there are few victors when business is looked upon as war.Most businesses succeed only if others also succeed. Business is competition and cooperation as well. In other words, business is war and peace.To bring together competition and cooperation, we turn to game theory. Game theory provides that whether one person wins or loses depends on what other people do. It is particularly effective when there are many interdependent（相互依存旳）factors and no decision can be made in isolation（孤立）from other decisions.Game theory breaks down the game into key elements（要素）:players, added values, rules, tactics（計謀）, and scope（范圍）(PARTS).Every element affects the result of the game. This means that each of the five elements gives you a way to change an existing game into entirely new one. Change one of the PARTS, and you change the whole.Why change the game? An old Chinese saying explains: If you continue on the course youre heading, thats where youll end up. Sometimes thats good, sometimes not. You can play the game very well, and still suffer great loss. Thats because youre playing the wrong game: you need to change it. Even a good game can be made into a better one. Real success comes from actively shaping the game you play-from making the game you want, not taking the game you find.69The author of this passage is _ the idea that “Business is war.”Ain favor ofBagainstCconsideringDdoubtful of70 “PARTS” stands for _.Aplayers, added values, rules, tactics and scope Ball of the elements in the game theoryCthe parties in a game Dthe parts that affect the result of the game71The correct understanding of the underlined sentence in the last paragraph is _.Ayou are really good at playing the game, but you still lose it outByou are so competitive that you beat up all of your competitors terriblyCyou play the game too well to suffer great lossDthe competition is so hard that you have to put all your heart into it72The author emphasizes that _.Awe shall play very hard Bwe shall continue in the course we are headingCwe shall play in the right direction Dwe shall always change no matter the change is good or notE“If I dont get something to eat soon, Ill climb the walls,” said Bryan.Roger, Bryans fifteen-year-old bookworm brother kept on reading. Bryan searched the kitchen but found only three aged bananas with big brown spots.“Roger,” begged Bryan, “youve read two books already today. Lets bake banana bread.”Roger closed his book with a sigh. “Sounds good, but do you know how? I dont.”“Its easy,” said Bryan. “Ive watched Mom make it.”The boys found the recipe and gathered everything they needed. Bryan was mashing bananas when he noticed Roger filling a huge soupspoon with salt.“Wait!” shouted Bryan. “You need just a teaspoon of salt.”Roger opened a drawer. “Which spoons are for tea?” he asked.Bryan was amazed. He had always thought that his older brother knew everything. “Roger,” he said, “use this measuring spoon. See , it says teaspoon on the handle.”Finally the batter（面料）was ready for baking. Soon a delicious smell of banana bread filled the house. An hour later, the boys opened the oven and found a beautifully rounded loaf, only a little burned around the edges.“Something smells wonderful,” said their mother when she arrived home. “Did you save a taste for me?”The brothers laughed, brushing crumbs from their fingers.“Sorry, Mom,” said Roger. “Next time we will. My little brother is quite a baker!”73If Roger had used the spoon he chose first, he would have _.Asaved timeBkept the bananas from spoilingCruined the banana breadDmade the batter too sweet74What did Roger probably do after he ate the banana bread?Aate an orangeBbaked another loafClooked for another recipeDcontinued reading his book75How did Bryan probably feel after the baking project?Aupset that the banana bread was burned Bproud that he had made dessert for dinnerCproud that he had taught Roger something Dupset that he had needed help from his mother.）5675： CACAB CBDDA BCABA ACCDC一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一一
