1. 答案   B?解析  依據(jù)下文的“Everyone wondered.‘Who is this person that was hindering my growth’”中的“my growth”可以推知，此處指在公司里阻礙自己成長的人，故選B項(xiàng)。ability能力；talent天賦；practice實(shí)踐。
2. 答案     C?解析   作為一個(gè)公司，有人去世，如果讓員工參加葬禮，只可能是邀請(qǐng)，而不可能是要求、允許或建議，故選invite。
3.答案     B?解析   依據(jù)句意可知，體育館的這個(gè)房間是被準(zhǔn)備好舉行葬禮用的，所以選prepared。start開始；open開放；create創(chuàng)造，均不符合句意。
4.答案    A?解析  由第一段內(nèi)容可知，此處指公司的員工們都已經(jīng)知曉了這一消息。句意為：知道他們的一個(gè)同事去世后，一開始大家都很傷心。receive收到(指具體的物)；notice注意到；find發(fā)現(xiàn)。
5. 答案    D?解析  上文提及剛開始大家都很傷心，后來又對(duì)誰死了感到好奇，二者是轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系，所以用表示轉(zhuǎn)折意義的連詞but。
6.答案    C?解析   有同事去世了，但誰也不知道是誰去世了，所以此處用curious，大家好奇(地想知道)這個(gè)人是誰，而不可能是生氣、遺憾或者緊張。
7. 答案    A?解析  依據(jù)語境可知，公司的員工們對(duì)于誰去世了很好奇，所以這里指人們來到體育館的時(shí)候，這種興奮“增強(qiáng)”了。用grow能夠很形象地描繪出當(dāng)時(shí)大家的情緒變動(dòng)。而appear出現(xiàn)；improve改善，提高；develop發(fā)展，都與上下文不符。
8.答案    D?解析  此處指同逝去的人道別并致以“最后的敬意”，故此處用respect尊敬，敬意。sight視力，看見；attention注意，關(guān)注；appreciation感激，均不符合語境。
9. 答案    A?解析    at least至少；反正；in fact事實(shí)上；at once立刻，馬上；in general總的來說。句意為：誰是阻礙我成長的人呢？嗯，反正這個(gè)人已經(jīng)不在了。故這里應(yīng)用at least。
10.答案    A?解析   由上文提及的“The excitement...as the employees arrived at the gym to pay their last...”可知，來體育館給死者送行的都是公司的員工。
11.答案    D?解析   由下文可知，棺材里放置的是一面鏡子，這出乎他們的意料。所以這里用suddenly，表示“出乎意料”。而quickly迅速地；finally最后；obviously顯然地，均不符合語境。
12.答案     C?解析    剛開始人們都覺得棺材里是人，而去了看到里面放著一面鏡子，當(dāng)然極其吃驚。Worry擔(dān)心的；depress郁悶的；embarrass尷尬的，均不符合語境。
13.答案   B?解析  由下文知，人們發(fā)現(xiàn)棺材里面放的是鏡子，由此可推知，阻礙他們前進(jìn)的是他們自己，這猶如有人“觸動(dòng)了”他們的心靈深處，所以用touch。
14.答案   B?解析 由語境及文章第一段The sign said...再結(jié)合空前的also一詞可以得知答案為sign。
15.答案    D?解析     read表示“(告示牌、標(biāo)志物上)寫著……”之意。其實(shí)依據(jù)文章第一段知，該處也可以用said,但不可以用wrote。
16.答案    A?解析    set limits to...給……設(shè)限，為固定搭配。句意為：只有一個(gè)人能給你的成長設(shè)限，那就是你。
17.答案    C?解析   由下文的“Your life does not change when your boss changes”及“when you realize that you are the only one...for your life.”可知，這里說的是：你是唯一能夠改變你的生活的人。所以用life。
18.答案     C?解析   句意為：你是唯一能夠影響你的幸福、認(rèn)知和成功的人。這里強(qiáng)調(diào)你對(duì)這一切的影響力。
19.答案    D?解析  文章告訴我們，我們之所以在成長進(jìn)步中受到阻礙，是因?yàn)槲覀冏约航o自己設(shè)限了，所以我們要想改變這一切，就必須越過……，go beyond在此表示“越過……”。
20.答案    B?解析  當(dāng)認(rèn)識(shí)到你是唯一能夠?qū)ψ约荷钬?fù)責(zé)的人……be responsible for對(duì)……負(fù)責(zé)。

The famous American gorilla（大猩猩） expert Diane Fossey had a completely new way to study gorillas — she pretended to be one of them. She copied their actions and way of life — eating plants and getting down on her hands and knees to walk the way a gorilla does. It was a new relationship.
Diane Fossey was murdered in Rwanda in 1985 and her story was made into the popular film Gorillas in the Mist. It was a long way from King Kong, which is about a gorilla as a monster （a frightening animal）, and helped to show a new idea: the real monster is man, while the gorilla is to be admired.
Today there are thought to be around 48,000 lowland gorillas and maybe 400—450 mountain gorillas in the wild. From the Congo in West Africa, to Rwanda and Uganda further east, they are endangered by hunting and by the cutting down of their forest homes.
Some time ago, I found in my letterbox a little magazine from the World Wide Fund for Nature. It had two photos side by side. One was of a young gorilla. “This is a species of mammal（哺乳類動(dòng)物）,” said the words below it. “It is being destroyed by man. We must save it for our own good.” The other photo showed a human baby. The words also read, “This is a species of mammal,” but then went on: “It is the most destructive（破壞性的） on earth. We must retrain it for its own good.”
56．The text mainly talks about _____.
A. Diane Fossey              B. the gorillas in Rwanda
C. the protection of the gorillas     D. the film Gorillas in the Mist
57．We can learn from the text that _____.
A. Gorillas in the mist was based Fossey’s experiences
B. Lowland gorillas live longer than mountain gorillas
C. King Kong showed us that a gorilla is admirable
D. Diane Fossey was murdered by a gorilla
58． What message can we get from the two photos in the magazine?
A. Gorillas are man’s close friends.  
B. Both man and the gorilla need to be saved.
C. Young gorillas are as lovely as human babies.
D. Man should live peacefully with the gorilla.

The Wal-Mart in Cleburne, Texas, was crowded. People were waiting in long lines at checkout counters to pay for small things that would be next-morning treasures under someone’s Christmas tree.
The woman standing in cashier Jeffrey Kandt’s line seemed to be living on the edge of subsistence（生計(jì)）. Her clothes were worn and her hands were those of a person who’d worked hard for what she had. She held a single item in her arms as she patiently waited to move to the front of the line — a Sony CD player. She had saved all year for this. With tax, the total would be close to $ 220.
As the woman got close to the cashier, she suddenly shouted, “Where’s my money? All of my money fro my son’s gift! Oh no!”
“Why my line?” Kandt thought as he watched the poor woman searching through her clothes. He was going to have to call his manager to avoid the sale but it would mean a long wait for the customers behind her. “I am going to go home late tonight,” Kandt thought.
Then an amazing thing happened. At the back of the line, a man took out his wallet, pulled out $100 and passed it forward. As the cash moved up the line, a twen5ty-dollar bill was added here, and a ten-dollar bill was added there. When the collection finally reached the registewr, Kandt counted $ 220.

Brian arrived at the San Francisco airport two hours before the flight to Paris. He was wearing three shirts, a jacket, two pairs of socks, a pair of shorts, and two pairs of jeans. He was carrying one small backpack, which was very full, but he didn’t have any other luggage. Brian needed to meet a man named Tony before he checked in for his flight. He found Tony near the Air France counter. Tony gave him a round-trip ticket and a small package. 
“Give this package to Jean-Paul at the airport in Paris. He will have a sign with your name on it. I think you can find him easily, “Tony said.” You don’t have any luggage, right?”
“Only this backpack,” Brian answered. “You said I could bring one carry-on bag.”
“That’s right, one carry-on bag is fine. Have a good trip.”
“Thanks.”
Is Brian a criminal（犯罪）? Not at all. He is an air courier. And he paid only $110 for the round-trip ticket to Paris. Air couriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important packages and papers to foreign countries.

It is not cheap for a business to send a package with an air courier, but it is quick. 
Every year about 80, 000 people worldwide travel as air couriers. The number of tickets for courier travel is growing by about 10 percent a year. However, air-courier travel isn’t for everyone, But if you have very little money, can be flexible（靈活的）about your travel plans, and don’t mind wearing the same clothes for a week, it can be a great way to take a vacation!
小題1:Why was Brian wearing so many clothes for his travel?

As computers become all the more popular in China, Chinese people are increasingly relying on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters. But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes（筆畫）of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.
Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school. And computer dependence is more wide-spread among university students. Almost all their assignments and essays are typed on a computer.
All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.
It's faster and easier to correct if using a computer. And that's why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly, problems appear.
"When I'm writing with a pen, I find I often can't remember how to write a character, though I feel I’m familiar with it."
"I'm not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper."
Many students don't feel this is something to worry about. Now that it's more convenient and efficient to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite?
Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei , the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said "Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic(審美的) value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writer's emotion. Through one's handwriting, people can get to know one's thinking and personality. Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them"
To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory(必修的)and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.
小題1:Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?
A．The Importance of Handwriting and Typing.
B．To Type or To Hand Write
C．Writing By Computer Will Replace Writing By Hand
D．Practical and Aesthetic Value of Chinese Characters.
小題2:The students interviewed prefer to write using a computer mainly because______.
A．they are usually asked to e-mail their Homework and Essays
B．they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and conveniently
C．they find it not easy to remember how to write a character
D．computers have become a trend and fashion in China.
小題3:Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE of the advantages of handwriting?
A．Handwriting contains the writer's emotion.
B．The writer’s thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting,
C．Handwriting can impress people well and build one’s self-confidence
D．Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value.

Manners nowadays in metropolitan cities like London are practically non-existence, it’s nothing for a big, strong schoolboy to elbow an elderly woman aside in the dash for the last remaining seat on the tube or bus, much less stand up and offer his seat to her.
This question of giving up seats in public transport is much argued by young men, who say that, since women have claimed equality, they no longer deserve to be treated with courtesy 禮貌、謙讓) and that those who go out to work should take their turn in the rat race like anyone else. Women have never claimed to be physically as strong as men. Even if it is not agreed, however, that young men should stand up for younger women, the fact remains that courtesy should be shown to the old, the sick and the burdened. Are we really so lost to all ideals of unselfishness that we can sit there indifferently reading the paper or a book, saying to ourselves “First come, first severed”, while a grey-haired woman, a mother with a young child stands? Yet this is all too often seen.?
Older people, tired and quick-tempered from a day's work, are not angels, either-far from it. Many a brisk argument or an insulting quarrel breaks out as the weary queues push and shove each other to get on buses and tubes. One cannot commend this, of course, but on does feel there is just a little more excuse.?
If cities are to remain pleasant places to live in at all, however, it seems imperative（迫切的）, not only that communications in transport should be improved, but also that communication between human beings should be kept smooth and polite. All over cities, it seems that people are too tired and too rushed to be polite. Shop assistant's won't bother to assist, taxi drivers growl at each other as they dash dangerously round corners, bus conductors pull the bell before their desperate passengers have had time to get on or off the bus, and so on and so on. It seems to us that it is up to the young and strong to do their small part to stop such deterioration（惡化）.?
小題1:What is the writer's opinion concerning courteous manners towards women??
A．Since women have claimed equality, they no longer need to be treated differently from men.?
B．It is generally considered old-fashioned for young men to give up their seats to young women.?
C．"Lady First" should be universally practiced.?
D．Special consideration ought to be shown to them.?
小題2:According to the passage communication between human beings would not be smoother unless ________.
A．people were more considerate towards each other?
B．people were not so tired and quick-tempered?
C．women were treated with more courtesy?
D．public transport could be improved.?
小題3:The author probably does NOT agree that in big cities _______.
A．Life will be even worse if no change is made
B．transport conditions are rather poor
C．it’s not uncommon to see people quarrel in public places
D．it’s unreasonable to require the tired people to be polite
小題4:The main purpose of the author is to ________.
A．call on people in big cities to pay more attention to politeness
B．blame the schoolboys’ rude behavior towards elderly women on the tube or bus
C．criticize the fast pace of city life
D．tell young men to give their seats to elderly people
小題5:How could you describe the tone of this passage?           
A．a(chǎn)cceptableB．opponent
C．negativeD．encouraging
