Always bear in mind that your own determination to succeed is more important than any other one thing.' Lincoln knew. He had gone through it all. He had never, in his entire life, had more than a total of one year's schooling. And books? Lincoln once said he had walked to borrow every book within fifty miles of his home. A fire was usually kept going all night in the small house and he read by the light of it.He walked twenty or thirty miles to hear a speaker and, returning home, he practiced his talks everywhere —in the fields, in the woods, before the crowds. He joined several societies and practiced speaking on the topics of the day.A lack of confidence always troubled him. In the presence of women he was shy and dumb. Even when he was in love with Mary Todd, he used to sit there, nervous and silent, unable to find words, listening while she did the talking. Yet that was the man who, by practice and home study, made himself into the speaker who debated with the famous speaker Douglas! That was the man who, in Gettysburg address rose to the heights of eloquence (雄辩) that have seldom been achieved in all the human history.Small wonder that, speaking of his own great barriers and painful struggle, he wrote, "If you are determined to make a lawyer of yourself, the thing is more than half done already."25. What does the underlined word "it" (inParagraph2) refer to?A. Earning a fortune.B. Making a living.C. Asking for advice.D. Becoming a lawyer.26. What is the key point of the fourth paragraph?A. Lincoln's courage.B. Lincoln's position.C. Lincoln's progress.D. Lincoln's eloquence.27. What is the most vital spirit reflected in Lincoln's story above?A. Believing in oneself.B. Keeping on practicing hard.C. Overcoming difficulties.D. Sticking to one's determination.(C)David Rees runs a truly distinctive business .He charges customers $15 to sharpen their pencils to perfections, using a variety of tools.I know what you're thinking —is this a joke? The 39-year-old gets asked that question a lot. To clarify everything, he even created a special section on his website telling everyone he's actually providing a real service.You can supply your own pencil or you can have Rees sharpen one of his own favorite 2B pencils. After that, he mails it to you in a display tube with the shavings in a separate bag, and an authentic certificate which just happens to mention the pencil is so sharp as to be a dangerous object.To achieve the desired result, the master sharpener uses all kinds of tools, including general sandpapers, pocket knives and even a special $450 sharpening machine. "It depends on what the customer wants to use his/her pencil for," he says. "That determines the most appropriate pencil-sharpening technique. Some customers buy pencils as inspirational symbols while others buy them because of their special memories of classic 2B pencils.$15 to have a pencil sharpened is a bit expensive though, right? You're not the only one who feels that way, and David's unique business has really angered lots of people, who talk of inequality in America, saying it is so insane for the wealthy to pay S15 to sharpen a pencil. But others will say, "This is just our urge to put an end to the welfare state because new ideas arise along with the business."David admits his trade is sort of unusual. But there are those who actually value his service, as proven by the over 500 orders he has gotten.28. How could David make money by sharpening pencils?A. He invented new tools for the job.B. He promoted his skill on his website.C. He saved lots of time for other people.D. He provided quality service to his customers.29. From his words, we can infer that David Bees .A. knows all kinds of pencil usersB. provides personalized servicesC. values ideas behind the pencilsD. always write with pencils30. What does the underlined word "insane" (in Paragraph 5) mean?A. Deliberate.B. Rewarding.C. Unreasonable.D. Irresponsible.31. What seems to be the author's attitude to David Bees' trade?A. It's a fancy service.B. It has a good reputation.C. It's awfully expensive.D. It wastes time and money.(D)German artist HA Schult is an unusual artist who uses trash (废旧物) to make sculptures. "We are living in the time of garbage," says Schult." I created a thousand sculptures of garbage. They are a mirror of ourselves." Here, Schult was talking about his 1,000 trash sculptures in the form of humans.He first exhibited them in 1996 in the western German state of North Rhine-Westphalia."They are social sculptures," he explains. "They are not only sculptures for the eyes. They are sculptures to spread the idea that we live in a time of garbage." So far, Schult's social sculptures have been on show in Paris, in Moscow's Red Square, on the Great Wall of China, and in the desert next to the Giza Pyramids near Cairo.HA Schult's work is unforgettable. Although his work has had a big influence on the art world, Schult remains modest about his creations: "Artists have to learn every time. We are not important. All that counts is the time in which we are living."Trash art has been around for years. But it seems that only the popular artists are regarded as true artists when working with trash. Why can't common people be considered artists when they use the same things and change them into some form of personal art? Maybe it's because we all have our own preset ideas of what art is and isn't, or who artists are or should be.You can be an artist like Schult if you try. Look at used metal cans. What might be done with them? Imagine them in any number of new uses, or imagine them simply as an art form. What about boxes or clothing? Boxes can usually serve as new storage containers and houses for pets. And clothing? Imagine taking old clothes and turning them into hats or hanging organizers.32. What do we know about Schult's sculptures?A. They served as garbage containers.B. They reflected environmental issues.C. They were first shown in Paris, France.D. They were to raise economic awareness.33. HA Schult's artistic works also get the message across that an artist must .A. be socially responsibleB. be as modest as possibleC. make garbage recyclableD. take diverse artistic forms34. According to the last 2 Paragraphs, the author probably agrees thatA. it takes talent to be a trash artistB. preset ideas are important to artistsC. trash art can't be seen as a real art formD. average people can also make trash artists35. Which of the following is the best title for the text?A. Could You Be a Trash Artist?B. What Are Social Sculptures?C. Do You Know About Trash Art?D. How Can We Deal with Used Cans?第二节(共5小题每小题2 分满分10 分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
