“I couldn’t 48 why they did that, so I asked the student in front of me.

He told me with a smile, ‘the speakers are all top-ranking people, who 49 chances. When your answer is to his 50 or surprise, it is very possible that he will give

you more 51 . This is a very simple reason.’

“The fact was also like that. I really saw a few students around me went to 52 in the first class company 53 their excellent insights (洞察力). This had a great influence on me. The chance will not find you 54 . You must show yourself constantly

第四部分阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

Although I love my life, it hasn’t been a lot of fun as I’ve been ill for 28 years. Music has always been a great love of mine and, in my 20s, when my sickness was more manageable , I enjoyed ten years as a professional(专业的) singer in restaurants, playing and singing folk songs. Unfortunately that was years ago and times have changed. Now I live with mother on a country farm.

Two years ago, I decided that I would need to have some kind of extra work to make up for my disability pension (残疾抚恤金). As I needed to sleep in the afternoons, I was limited in my choices. I decided that I would consider going back to singing in restaurants.

My family are all musicians, so I was recognized when I went into our local music store.

I explained that I wanted to sing again but using recorded karaoke music. I knew that discs were very expensive and I really didn’t have a lot of money to get started. And often you find only three to four songs out of ten on a disc that you can actually use.

When I told the owner of the shop about my idea, he gave me a long thoug htful look. “This means a lot to you, doesn’t it?” he said. “Come with me.”

He led me through the crowded shop and to a bench with a large professional karaoke box on it. He placed his large hand lovingly on his treasure and said, “I have 800 karaoke songs in here. You can take your pick and I’ll record them for you. That should get you started.”

I could have cried. Thanking him, I made a time with him to listen to all the songs and choose the ones that I could sing. I have come full circle with his help.

His kindness still warms my heart and makes me do just that bit extra, when I have the chance.

56. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The author worked as a professional singer when he wasn’t seriously ill.

B. The author has been loving music since he was in his 20s.

C. The author sang in restaurants to earn his disability pension.

D. The author had all the songs on the discs recorded for karaoke music.

57. From the passage, we can learn that________.

A. the author went back to sing in restaurant for fun.

B. the author’s family were famous for their country farm.

C. the author’s job choices were limited because of his lack of money.

D. the author is not only touched by the kindness but also passes it on.

58. Which of the following words can best describe the owner of the shop?

A. Thoughtful and kind-hearted.

B. Lovely and friendly.

C Successful and patient. D. Grateful and professional.

B

When you were a child you had a pure mind which was free from worries and anxieties. However, as time goes by, you’re faced with so many problems in life. Below are five techniques that can help you g et relaxed.

1. Mind your own business.

Yes, please mind your own business. When you start being concerned about things which are not related to you, you lose your control on your thought process, whic h often has negat ive results disturbing the mental peace. Basically, your mind starts wandering here and there. So next time an unnecessary thought comes to your mind, think whether this is really something you should be worrying for? If not, keep it away and focus on something positive, practical and fruitful.

2. Surround yourself with positive people.

Overlook negative comments and stay away from negative souls. When someone is negative, he spreads negativity and you get affected. Staying with such people will have long term influence on your character so think about your company.

3. Don’t think about others too much.

Remember: Small minds discuss people; Average minds discuss events; Higher minds discuss

ideas and Great minds act in silence. Don’t allow your brain to compare yourself to others as this is an insult (侮辱) to yourself. Don’t be jealous; it’s a heart killing disease, get rid of it as soon as possible. When you are jealous you focus on finding faults in others even if they don’t have. This poisons your soul and steals the mental peace.

4. You can’t keep everyone happy.

Don’t be oversensitive (过于敏感的). Be natural in what you do. Be positive and constructive in your deeds and then don’t really care too much about others. Be aware, don’t apply this to too closed relations. Develop trust to build up powerful relationships.

5. Don’t believe yourself to be unlucky.

Remember this: Bad luck happens to everyone. It’s not your fault at all. Time, whether good or bad, passes quickly. Develop the power of not looking back into your past. Believe in the power of Now. Believe in your skills. Work hard and you will get what you have been entitled for. Be patient and see what has been planned for you.

With these recommendations, I believe if you can make it, it’s probable that you can bring changes in your lifestyle and get back your mental peace.

59. This passage is written for those who want to _________.

A. seek learning skills

C. Be sincere with others and never care too much about them.

D. Believe in the magic power of what the present can bring you

C

Are people less happy or happier when they get older? If your answer is “happier”, then you are right, based on a study published five years ago. It found that people generally become happier and experience less worry after age fifty. In fact, it found that by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were at eighteen.

The findings came from a Gallup survey of more than three hundred and forty thousand adults in the United States in 2008. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five.

Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were the highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.

Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. But the people least likely to report negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties.

The survey also found that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men did.

The researchers also considered possible influence like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.

So why would happiness increase with age? One theory is that, as people get older, they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.

The findings appeared in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

63. What is the main purpose of the passage?

A. To compare the levels of happiness among different groups of adults.

B. To introduce the findings of a survey on the levels of happiness among adults.

C. To tell about the different problems adults of different ages meet with in their life.

D. To tell about different theories on adults’ levels of happiness.

64. Which group of people might have the highest level of stress?

A. Young adults between the ages of 18 to 21.

B. Young adults between the ages of 22 to 25.

C. Middle-aged adults in their fifties.

D. Old adults in their eighties.

65. What can we infer from the passage?

A. Younger adults are always willing to report negative feelings.

B. Adults above seventies might not tell the truth of their levels of happiness.

C. Women feel as happy as men of the same age.

D. People, unemployed or single, have the lowest level of happiness.

66. What might be the best title of the passage?

A. The younger, the happier.

B. The wealthier, the happier.

C. The older, the more emotional

D. The older, the happier.

D

How long are you willing to wait for a webpage to open before you start to lose your patience? Half a minute? A few seconds?

Google engineers have discovered that even 400 milliseconds―as short as the blink of an eye―is too long for most Internet users.

A millisecond is one thousandth of a second. People hardly notice such a small time difference, but it does cause them to stop searching, reported The New York Times.

“Subconsciously, you don’t like to wait,” said Arvind Jain, a Google engineer. “Every millisecond matters.”

Nowadays, millions of smart-phones and computers are constantly gathering and sending out information. With so many people downloading maps, sports videos, news and restaurant recommendations, you can get digital “traffic jams”. Meanwhile, users are expecting faster and faster service.

Google found that if one website is 250 milliseconds slower than another website, then people will visit it less often. This is why technology companies are now competing to be the fastest.

Google said people do expect different things from different websites because they

realize not all loading times are the same. For example, a person will be more patient waiting for a video clip to load than for a search result.

Even so, four out of five online users will click away if a video takes too long to load. This makes it difficult for video websites to choose between the quality of pictures and fast loading times.

Pursuing a higher speed has always been part of the history of the Internet.

In the 1990s, when the World Wide Web first started to become popular, it was very crowded and slow; peo ple called it the “World Wide Wait”. But engineers managed to fight the problem with new inventions. They laid a lot of fiber optic cables for high-speed transmissions; they improved software so it would work more smoothly; they placed computer servers all around the world to be nearer to users; all this increased speed.

Nowadays we can enjoy much faster Internet. Major search engines such as Google and Microsoft’s Bing usually find search results in less than a second. But they will need to keep fighting to keep up with the developing demands of Internet users.

67. What does the report of The New York Times i ndicate?

A. A millisecond is one thousandth of a second.

B. A millisecond has nothing to do with the Internet speed.

C. A millisecond really makes a difference to the Internet users.

D. Even 400 milliseconds is too long for most Internet users.

68. Which of the following is NOT what engineers have done to improve the speed?

A. Improving the quality of pictures on the Internet.

B. Laying fiber optic cables for high-speed transmissions.

C. Placing computer servers throughout the world.

D. Making software work more smoothly.

69. What can be the best title of this passage?

A. Don’t make me “www.wait”.

B. Search engines work faster.

C. Traffic jams keeps us waiting.

D. The World Wide Web becomes popular.

70. What’s the writer’s attitude towards the future of the Internet speed?

A. confused

B. disappointed.

C. confident

D. Discouraged.

Atlantis, a beautiful and wealthy island, is supposed to have existed over 11000 years ago. It was in the middle of the vast Atlantic Ocean, and was a centre for trade. Its people were very wealthy and powerful. The rulers of Atlantis controlled their people and land, and their power spread to Europe and Africa.

The weather was very good in Atlantis, and therefore people could grow food all year around. Many different kinds of vegetables, fruits and nuts grew there, and a lot of different animals lived on the island, including elephants.

Atlantis was the home of Poseidon, the Greek God of the Sea. Poseidon had five sets of twin boys, who became the first rulers of Atlantis. The island’s many hills, fields and rivers were divided between the ten brothers. The eldest son, Atlas, was the first king of Atlantis. He controlled the island’s central hill and its surrounding area.

At the top of the central hill, a temple was built in honor of Atlas’s father, Pos eidon. Inside the temple was a huge gold statue of Poseidon. The rulers of Atlantis discussed laws in the temple.

For centuries the people of Atlantis lived simple, honest and happy lives. However, over time they began to change. They enjoyed the power they had and desired more of it. When the God Zeus saw how corrupt (腐败) the people of Atlantis were, he was very angry and gathered the other gods together to decide on a punishment for them. The gods agreed with Zeus and decided to sink the island. In one short day and a half, the island of Atlantis, its people and its memory- a whole civilization- were destroyed forever, swallowed up by the sea.

At 9:00 Dick’s bank telephoned and said his payment was late. “The check is in the post,” Dick replied quickly. At 11:45, Dick left for a 12:00 meeting across town. Arriving late, he explained that the traffic had been so bad. That evening, Dick’s girlfriend wore a new dress. He hated it. “It looks just great on you,” he said.

Three lies in one day! Yet Dick is just an ordinary man. Each time, he tells himself that sometimes the truth causes too many problems. Most of us tell the same white lies. How often do we tell white lies? It depends on our age, education, and even where we live. According to one US study, women are more truthful than men, and honesty increases as we get older. While most people use little white lies to make life easier, the majority of Americans care about honesty in both public and personal life. They say that people today are less honest then they were ten years ago. Lying seems to be an age-old human problem.

By citing the example of Dick who told three lies in one day, the writer wants to tell us what a white lie is, how often we tell white lies and why people tell white lies.

Frankly, I have been educated by my parents and teachers about the immorality of lying since childhood. Bearing it in my mind, I have never lied at all. However, as I have grown up and experienced many kinds of things, I find some white lies make the people who love us or whom we love live a better life. So a white lie is not necessarily wrong; on the contrary, it is sometimes a beautiful language.

Similar to Dick, I once told a white lie to my mother in order not to make her worry about me.

Since I entered a boarding school far away from home, my mother has always been anxious. So every day, she calls me to make sure I’m fine. One day, I caught a bad cold. How I wished I were at home. But when the phone rang, I told her I was just OK and there is nothing to worry about.

If someone tells me a white lie, I think I can accept it and smile at it so long as intention is original intention is good. In my opinion, well-meant lies possess magic power. It can send out the radiance of love, kindness and humanism.
