Part III Choose the best answer after reading (20%, 2 marks per question)

Passage 1

Why is setting goals important? Because goals call help you do, be, and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen.

Successful and happy people have a vision of how their life should be and they set lots of goals (both short-term and long-range) to help them reach their vision. By setting goals you are taking control of your life. It’s like having a map to show you where you want t o go. Think of it this way. There are two drivers. One has a destination in mind (her goal) which is laid out for her on a map. She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns. The other driver has no goal or destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver, but she drives aimlessly around, never getting anywhere, just using up gas and oil. Which driver do you want to be?

Winners in life set goals and follow through on them. Winners decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Unsuccessful peop le just let life happen by accident. Goals aren’t difficult to set —and they aren’t difficult to reach. It’s up to you to find out what your goals, ideals and visions really are. You are the one who must decide what to pursue and in what direction to aim your 1ife.

Research tells us that when we write a goal down we are more likely to achieve it. Written goals can be reviewed regularly, and have more power. Like a contract with yourself, they are harder to neglect or forget. Also when you write your goals in a particular fashion you are able to stimulate your subconscious to be continuously alert to situations that will further your goal.

21. The example of two drivers in the second paragraph is cited to show __________.

A. the difficulty of driving without a map

B. the foolishness of the second driver

C. the importance of avoiding wrong turns

D. the significance of setting goals

22. Successful people differ from unsuccessful ones in that __________.

A. the former set goals which are difficult to achieve

B. the latter make unreasonable demands of themselves

C. the former have goals in life and make plans to carry them out

D. the latter set goals and try to get other people to help them

23. According to the writer, what is the most important in the whole process of realizing one’s goal?

A. Trying to be realistic about one’s capabilities.

B. Analyzing problems that may be involved.

C. Having a clear understanding of what one wants in life.

D. Dreaming of a very beautiful future.

24. What is suggested if people want to realize their goals without fail?

A. They should write down their goals.

B. They should sign a contract with other people involved.

C. They should be aware of the difficulties they are faced with.

D. They should discuss with other people about their goals.

25. Which of the following statements is closest to the main idea of the passage?

A. Success is possible only when a person has clearly set his or her goal.

B. Goals enable people to achieve everything they desire in life.

C. Winners of any competition should never be satisfied with themselves.

D. Goals must be realistic and within the realm of possibility.

Passage 2

Charlie Chaplin has broken all records in making people laugh. No one has so set a whole world laughing as the little man with the walking stick and the overlarge shoes.

Much has been written about Chaplin’s art and his career，and opinions have varied widely. But perhaps those who called him “the most universal human being of our time”came closest to the truth. Those who have called him a genius stress the timeless and universal qualities in his work. It is an art filled with tragic (悲剧的) elements and deep human feeling, with which an audience cannot help but become involved. It is for these reasons, I believe, that the figure of Charlie has attracted generation after generation.

All his biographers (传记作家) agree that Charlie’s miserable childhood in the London slums was a decisive influence on his development and on the type of films he made. Chaplin himself emphasizes it in his memoirs (回忆录). The more one reads about his earliest period, the more one is inclined (倾向于) to agree. For Chaplin, his suffering youth had a lasting fascination.

Chaplin was never afraid to tackle controversial subjects in his films. He gave a humorous performance on war only a few weeks before the American troops came home from World War I in 1918. This was regarded as madness, but the performance was well received. So perfectly did it hit the nail on the head that even the homecoming soldiers found it irresistible and deeply appreciated this short and humorous performance on what for them had been grim (严酷的) reality. Chaplin gave numerous performances attacking capitalism, satirizing the inhumanity of the machine age and even making fun of Hitler.

Years after his death, the comic (喜剧的) films of movie actor and director Charlie Chaplin continue to be popular. He is particularly well known for his success as a creator of humorous presentations that make fun of people, institutions, or systems.

26. According to the author, Charlie Chaplin has been popular with generation after generation because __________.

A. he set the whole world laughing

B. his performances get people involved

C. his works appeal to people in different periods

D. both B and C

27. According to Charlie Chaplin’s biographers, __________ had a decisive influence on the type of films he made.

A. the society in which he lived

B. the audience who praised and admired him

C. those who called him a genius

D. his wretched childhood in the London slums

28. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

A. There are timeless qualities in Chaplin’s works because he didn’t involve himself in politics.

B. Chaplin became popular years after his death.

C. Chaplin’s performance is comical without any tragic elements.

D. Chaplin’s films are the combination of comic and tragic elements.

29. In which way has Charlie Chaplin broken all records? ____________

A. In making people laughing.

B. In making people crying.

C. In making people crying.

D. In making people crazy.

30. What did he do before the American troops came home from World War I in 1918?

A. He wrote a new article.

B. He organized a welcome party.

C. He gave a humorous performance on war.

D. He did nothing.

Part IV Fill in the blanks (10%, 1 mark per question)

Task 1

E-mail systems at thousands of companies and government offices around the world were attacked by a virus (病毒)called “Melissa”that disguises itself as an “Important Message”from a friend.

Even though there was a weekend warning, more than 50,000 companies at about 100 places around the world have been attacked by the virus, computer experts said on Monday.

Micheal Vatis, a senior US official said military and government computers were damaged, along with thousands of the other inst itutions’ systems. The body of E-mail message says, “Here is what you ask for ”Once the user opens it , the virus digs into the user’ s address book and sends out messages to the first 50 addresses. The reason the virus spread so rapidly is that you’re getting it from people you know and trust. So anyone who gets an unexpected E-mail with the “Important Message”subject line is advised not to open it and delete(删除) it immediately.
