Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity（團(tuán)結(jié)）. To show this, she held up one chopstick, representing one person. Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next, she tied several chopsticks together, representing a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up. Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However, when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didnt have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Dannys mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards, Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However. Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard. Eventually（最終）the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elizabeth explains. “Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family, there is no business.” Their expanding business became a large corporation（企業(yè)） in 1996, with three generations of An working together. Now the An corporation makes more than 20 million each year. Although they began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they worked together. Now they are a big success.24.Helene tied several chopsticks together to show .Athe difficulty of growing up Bthe strength of family unity Cthe advantage of chopsticks Dthe best way of giving a lesson25.We can learn from Paragraph 2 that the An family .Astarted a business in 1975 Bbought a restaurant in San FranciscoCleft Vietnam without much money Dopened a sandwich shop in Los Angeles26.What can we infer about the An daughters?AThey were influenced by what Helene taught them BThey could not bear to work in the family businessCThey did not finish their college educationDThey were troubled by disagreement among family members27.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?AHow to Run a Corporation BStrength Comes from PeaceCFamily Unity Builds Success DHow to Achieve a Big Dream C More and more birds are flying to settle at Qinghai Lake, one of the highest inland lakes in China, thanks to the protection efforts of local governments. Covering an area of over 4,000 square kilometers. Qinghai Lake is also the countrys biggest saltwater lake. Located in Northwest Chinas Qinghai Province, the lake is famous for the two islands at its northwest pointCormorant Island and Egg Island. The two islands have plenty of floating grass and various schools of fish, offering rich food sources for birds. The islands have become a paradise for different kinds of groups of birds and have been called“Bird Islands”Each March and April, when ice and snow covering the QinghaiTibet Plateau starts to melt, over 20 kinds of birds fly to the Bird Islands to lay eggs. During the months, flocks of birds cover the whole sky over the islands and birds eggs can be found everywhere. Visitors can hear the singing of birds from miles away. These have become a world famous symbol of the lake.To protect this paradise for birds and support calls for ecological protection, China set up the Qinghai Lake Natural Protection Zone at the end of 1997.Meanwhile, the State has pointed out the Bird Islands and Spring bay of the Qinghai Lake as central protection zones.Inspection officials and management employees often patrol the lake, improving local residents knowledge of related laws and spreading knowledge about animal protection to visitors. They are making great efforts to call on people to love and protect the birds. At the same time, they have built special fences around the island area to prevent wolves, foxes and other carnivorous animals, as well as illegal hunters from breaking up the birds nestbuilding, egglaying and breeding. As a result, more and more birds are coming to the islands for sheltering and breeding. 28. Why are more and more birds coming to the biggest saltwater lake in the Great Northwest?ABecause it is getting warmer and warmer.BBecause it is being reformedCBecause the people there are becoming richer and richerDBecause environments there are getting more and more agreeable for them to live in.29. The birds feed on_ according to the passage.Agrass moving on the water surface and different kinds of fishBfloating fish and various grassCsalt water and plenty of grainsDcorn from the local farmers30. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.The ice and snow covering the QinghaiTibet Plateau doesnt change into water, unless more than 20 kinds of birds come to the Bird Islands.B.“The ice on the Plateau begins to change into water” means spring is coming.C.Visitors can listen to the singing of birds from miles away, but they couldnt see any birdD.Flocks of birds fly up to the whole sky over islands to lay eggs.31. The officials go around the lake mainly to_.Alet the farmers there know the animal protection lawBtell the farmers there some knowledge about animal protectionCcall on people to love and protect the birdsDall of the above DWhat is success? I am not going to try to define success. I think a precise(精確的) definition is impossible! Is it winning a Gold Medal at the Olympic Games or winning Wimbledon, or being awarded a Nobel Prize? What else? I believe personal success could be anything at allit does not have to involve public recognition. Who is more successful? A millionaire who is unhappy, or an unnoticed person, who has led a simple, quiet sincere and happy life? The simplest definition of success, I think, is to set out to do something and to succeed in doing it”.The first step on the road to success starts with belief. Believe you can succeed and you will. Achieving success in whatever endeavor (努力) you choose may be the goal of life; because it gives you freedom from worry. Could that be?Success means different things to every one of us. Some people believe it is measured in financial terms, others believe it is helping others rather than helping themselves. However, most people are motivated to a great extent by public recognition. How many people are really happy? How many people are really doing what they want to with their lives? Incidentally, the ability to imagine makes us different from animals. Most important of all, I believe success is a matter of personal growth. If every day you are developing or growing just a millimeter, I believe one is successful. Just being a slightly better person each day for me is success. Ive got a very long way to go then! Finally, always remember success is a process and is not simply a matter of arriving at a destination. Its the journey that really matters. Success is what you become in the often very difficult and dangerous journey down the river of life.32. What is personal success according to the author?A. Winning public recognition. B. Succeeding in doing what you want.C. Something impossible to define simply. D. Being an unhappy millionaire.33. Which plays an important role in your success?A. Intelligence. B. Wealth. C. Confidence. D. Kindness.34. According to the text, humans are different from animals in_.A. imagination B.belief C.freedom D. success35. What can be the best title for the text? A.No true success B. What is success?C. How to be successful D. Success is reaching a destination 第二節(jié)：七選五(共5小題；每小題2分，滿分10分)根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。Wed better develop our interest in English at the beginning of our study. 36 as we may feel good when we can say something simple in English. 37 So we must make some plans before study.
