    Last year my mother told me that the _ 38   way I would get y driver’s license before I turned eighteen depended on _ 39   I paid for the classes myself. “What?” I asked in _ 40   . Judging by the look on my mothers face, I knew _ 41   that my reasoning would have no_ 42   on the situation.

    When I realized that my mother wasn’t going to _ 50   something like a driver’s license, at first, it seemed as if she had put an immovable _ 51   before me and I would never _ 52   it.

A

       Ten years ago I used to be very fit. I cycled to work during the weekdays and I got a lot of exercise at weekends. I used to play tennis a lot and go for long walks. In those days I had a job in an office, but I did not have many things to do, so I didn’t earn much. I knew it was not a very good job but I had a lot of time to do the things I enjoyed doing.

       Then, about eight years ago, I got a much better job. The pay was better. But the hours were a lot longer, too. I bought a car and drove to work every day. I began to take people out to lunch. “ Expense account lunches”. And I began to put on weight, too. I stopped playing tennis and going for long walks at weekends because I just didn’t have any time for things like that any more. There’s a lot of stress in a job like mine. Perhaps that’s why I started drinking more than I used to. For example, I used to have only half a glass of whisky when I got home, but then I started filling the glass to the top. Then I had another glass, and then another. I started smoking a lot, too. I never used to smoke at all.

56. Which of the following is TRUE about the writer ten years ago?

A. He cycled to work every day                         B. He got a lot of exercise every day.

C. He was very fit.                                           D. He didn’t play basketball.

57. His first job was not very good because_______.

A. he had too much time to keep fit            B. he didn’t earn much

C. he had much time to go for long walks           D. he didn’t like to work in an office

58. He started drinking more than he used to because_______.

A.     he used to have only half a glass of whisky when he got home

B.      he just didn’t have any time for things he liked

C.      he started smoking a lot

D.     there is a lot of stress in a job like his.

59. What can we learn form the passage?

A.     A job with lower pay is good.

B.      A job with a higher pay is good

C.      A person is usually tired from a job with a good pay.

D.     A person should earn much money in his jo.

If a person tells you that something is “the real McCoy”, he is telling you it is the real thing, not a copy or replacement. There is nothing false about “ the real McCoy”. It is the best that can be found.

There are different ideas on how the expression came into common use. Perhaps the most popular story is about a famous boxer, Charles Kid McCoy, a one-time world famous welter-weight champion. One day, McCoy was having a drink in a bar with a lady friend. A man came up and began to talk to her. He was not a nice man.

McCoy wanted no trouble. He asked the man to leave. He said, “ I’m Kid McCoy.” McCoy thought his name was so well-known that he didn’t need to say more. But the man did not believe him. “Oh, yeah?” he said. “Well, if you are Kid McCoy, then I am George Washington!” And he continued to speak to the prize-fighter’s friend in an unpleasant way.

McCoy hit the man with a fist―not hard―actually it was really a light touch. But the man fell to the ground, unconscious. Ten minutes later, when he came to sense, he called out, “ that was the real McCoy!” And so, as told by Kid McCoy, that was how the expression “ the real McCoy” got started.

There are other versions, however. One is that the expression goes back to the days of prohibition(禁止) when it was illegal in the United States to sell whiskey. Although whiskey was against the law, many sold it. And many sold bad whisky. They were not afraid to do so, because there was so little that anybody could do about it. Buying whiskey, good or bad, was as illegal as selling it.

But there was one whisky dealer who was honest. His name was McCoy. He refused to sell bad whiskey. He sold only the best imported whiskey. His product became recognized as the best. It was called “the real McCoy”.

The expression survived prohibition days and soon became a general term. One way or another, no matter how the expression began, “ the real McCoy” is an expression that everyone understands. It means the one and only---- the best one. They are indeed words of special praise.

60. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?

A.     It is about the exact meaning of the version.

B.      It tells how a person gets his name.

C.      It shows how to tell the real from the false.

D.     It explains how to find the best.

61. In the third paragraph, “the prize-fighter” refers to ______.

A. a champion                     B. George Washington                 C. a fellow            D. McCoy

62. Which of the following is TRUE about the days of prohibition?

A.     A national law forbade the sale of alcoholic drinks.

B.      Bad whiskey was not allowed to sell.

C.      People at that time preferred nothing but whiskey.

D.     The days of prohibition resulted in McCoy’s selling wine.

63. What is the main idea of the whole passage?

A.     The story of a famous boxer

B.      The general use of the version.

C.      The expression and its story.

D.     The friendship between an athlete and a seller.

Lateral（橫向的）thinking, first described by Edward de None in 1967, is just a few years older than Edward’s son. You might imagine that Caspar was raised to be an adventurous thinker, but Edward de Bone was so famous, Caspar’s parents worried that any time he would say something bright at school, his teachers might snap. “Where do you get that idea from?”

“We had to be careful and not to overdo it,” Edward admits. Now Caspar is at Oxford―which once looked unlikely because he is also slightly dyslexic(誦讀困難). In fact, when he was applying to Oxford, none of his school teachers thought he had a chance. “So then we did several thinking sessions,” his father says, “using my techniques and, when he went up for the exam, he did extremely well.” Soon after, Edward de Bone decided to write his latest book Teach Your Child How to Think, in which he transforms the thinking skills he developed for brainstorming businessmen into informal exercises for parents and children to share.

Thinking is traditionally regarded as something done in a logical order, and everybody knows that children aren’t very logical. So isn’t it an uphill battle, trying to teach them to think? “ You know,” Edward de Bone says,” if you examine people’s thinking, it is quite unusual to find faults of logic. But the faults of perception(知覺)are huge! Often we think ineffectively because we take too limited a view.

Teach Your Child How to Think offers lessons in perception improvement, of clearly seeing the implications of something you are saying and of exploring the alternatives.

64. What is TRUE about Caspar?

A.     He first described lateral thinking.

B.      He is often scolded by his teachers.

C.      He is Edward’s son

D.     He is an adventurous thinker.

65. Caspar succeeded in applying to Oxford because______.

A.     he used in the exam the techniques provided by his father

B.      he read the book Teach Your Child How to Think before the exam

C.      he was careful and often overworked

D.     his school teachers thought he had a chance

66. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that Edward_______.

A.     was prompted（促使）to study lateral thinking because his son was lightly dyslexic

B.      once taught businessmen how to think before he wrote for parents and children

C.      was likely to improve children’s logic with his book

D.     gave a description of lateral thinking several years after his son was born

67. Lateral thinking refers to the following EXCEPT_________.

A.     seeing the implications of what you are saying

B.      exploring the alternatives for what you are saying

C.      improving one’s logic in thinking

D.     improving one’s perception in thinking

Students may be smart, savvy（有見識(shí)的）, and have spotless resumes(履歷表). But unless they also have sartorial sense, they may not fare well on the job market. That’s the premise(前提)behind the “Suitable Suits” program at Barnard College.

The Office of Career Development keeps a closet filled with 21 crisp, black suits that students can borrow for job interviews. Students make an appointment with the office and agree to dry-clean the garments before returning them.

“Students going into sectors like education or not-for-profit work are not going to have to own a suit and don’t want to invest a couple of hundred dollars,” says Kim C. Barberich, associate director of programs at the women’s college.

And yet, as many recent college graduates will prove, the all-important “ first impression” often seems to play a key role in whether or not a job applicant is successful in the interview. At least as much as hygiene(衛(wèi)生), posture and eye contact, formality of dress can influence the way an interviewer sizes up a candidate.

“Helen Rodriguez, a junior majoring in history, borrowed a suit last month to interview for a summer internship with a city-council member in New York. Ms. Rodriguez chose the skirt instead of the pants, and the short jacket instead of professional,” she says. “It made me feel confident.”

Suitable Suits started in the spring of 2004 and was paid for with a grant from the Goldman Sachs Group. Around 120 students have borrowed suits so far.

After 11 long days, Ms. Rodriguez heard back from the council member’s office. She got the job. “I am very grateful to the Suitable Suits program,” she wrote in an e-mail message. “I truly believe that it helped me form a positive first impression at the interview.

68. The “sartorial sense” in the first paragraph refers to _______.

A. social awareness                B. sense of dressing             

C. first impression                 D. table manners

69. What does the Suitable Suits program do?

A.     Give students advice on studying.

B.      Give students advice on how to find a job.

C.      Lend proper suits to job-hunting students to make a good first impression

D.     The author did not tell us.

70. What is the author’s attitude towards the program?

A. Supportive         B. Critical             C. Indifferent                      D. Ironical

Design is the act of making something better. Everything, no matter how ordinary, has been designed.

That some objects give us no special pleasure or are not fashionable does not change the fact that somebody decided what they would look like, what they would do and how they would be used.

Every time you buy a new kettle or toaster, the quality of the design is influential, encouraging you to choose one kettle or toaster over the others. Good design works well. Excellent design works well. Take the Alessi kettle, with its curved handle and two-tone whistle. It looks very exciting but the handle can get too hot to touch. Compare this with the familiar Russell Hobbs automatic electric kettle. It has been in production since the late 1950s, works perfectly and looks good.

Poor designs are easy to find. If you cannot see what is at the back of the kitchen cupboard without getting down on your hands and knees, that is a bad design. If you catch your sleeve on a door handle, that is a bad design. If you cannot understand how to use the controls on your cooker without searching for the Instruction Book ? and if, when you find the book, you still cannot work the timing switch, that is a very bad design.

The question is: how, when these kinds of faults are so obvious, have some designs ever reached our homes?

The answer is that in most cases, bad designs emerge because not enough energy and tie are give to think through all the different questions that should be asked about the product.

Kitchen cupboard makers will say that they are making cupboards as economically as possible. This kind of “cheapness” is one of the main reasons for the absence of good design in our homes. To make a cupboard where the shelves swing out to display the contents when the door is opened is more expensive.

72. What does the passage say good designers think about?

A. What will influence people                     B. How things will be used

C. What people are used to                   D. What is fashionable

73. What was wrong with the Alessi kettle?

A. The design was old-fashioned                  B. It was too round

C. It was unreliable.                                          D. The design was impractical.

74. In what way are some cookers badly designed?

A.     The instruction books have no diagrams.

B.      The handles stick out too far.

C.      It is difficult to find the controls.

D.     Using the timing switch is a confusing process.

75. Why do badly-designed things get made and sold?

A.     Because there are to few designers.

B.      Because they are quicker and cost less to make.

C.      Because manufacturers pay low wages to designers.

D.     Because designers do not know enough about manufacturing processes.
