Over the next six years, I was treading water, just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn’t think I was any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull.I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfya deep-down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words.It takes confidence to make a new start — there’s a dark period in-between where you’re neither one thing nor the other. You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you’re too ashamed to say, “Well, I’m writing a novel, but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there.”My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside.Then I met an agent（代理商）who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel.The next problem was finding a publisher. After two-and-a-half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal - that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck -of fate, really. When you set outto do something different, there’s no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract（合同）of the publisher -to be a published writer - is unbelievably rewarding（有回报的）.5. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?A. I was waiting for good fortune.B. I was doing several jobs for more pay at a time.C.I was trying to find an admirable job.D. I was being aimless about a suitable job.6. The author decided to write a novel ______ .A. to finish the writing courseB. to realize her own dreamC. to satisfy readers’ wishD. to earn more money7. How did the writer feel halfway with the novel?A. Uncertain.B. Disturbed.C. Confident.D. Ashamed.8. What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph?A.

There is no end in sight when starting to do something.CHotdogs may be a favorite food in America —but when it comes to eating them, the Japanese are the best on the earth. At the 2001 World Hotdog Eating Championships, Takeru Kobayashi ate 50 hotdogs in just 12 minutes to set a new worl d record ! That’s more than one hotdog every 15 seconds ! He’s been unbeaten in the competition since then.What’s even more amazing is that Takeru Kobayashi isn’t a big fat person.Takeru is a thin,131 pound,eating-machine who had to beat 19 other eaters from around the world. For being the world champion,Takeru Kobayashi won the championship belt and most importantly a year’s supply of hotdogs!Eating contest organizers say it’s very rare for someone to get hurt in one of these eating contests. But it’s still pretty easy to get injured by a hotdog .At a Toronto Blue Jays Baseball game,several fans were injured during a freehotdog hand out. Hotdogs were fired into the crowd using an air cannon (大炮). But several of the hotdogs exploded when they landed—flying ketchup , and pieces of sausage all over the hungry baseball fans !!9．How many at least did Takeru eat within a minute in the contest ?A．more than 3 B．more than 2 C．more than 4 D．more than 510.What did the word unbeaten in paragraph 1 mean ?A．never fight with others B．never be defeated by othersC．always fight with others D．always be defeated by others 11．According to the text , he got as the world champion .A．a gold medal B．a seat beltC．hot dogs for free the whole year D．a eating machineDIn a job interview, the first question is often a "breaking the ice" type of question. Don’t be surprised if the interviewer asks you something like: “How are you today?”or “What do you think of the weather lately?” Answer the question without going into too much detail.Talking about qualifications is the most important part of any job interview. Your qualifications include your education and any special training you may have received in the past. Your qualifications also include your experience in any previous work. It is important to explain what experience you have in detail. Generally, employers want to know exactly what you did and how well you accomplished your tasks. This is not the time to be modest.Try to avoid some big mistakes in the job interview, such as leaving the mobile on and criticizing previous bosses. The worst thing is you yourself have no questions. Having no questions shows you are either not interested or not prepared. Remember that interviewers are more impressed with the questions you ask than the selling points you try to make.12.

I agree with this, because good eating habits begin early in life, longbefore children start to visit fast food shops. If parents often give their childrenfried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, they will go for sweet and saltyfoods, and children will find it hard to get rid of the habit.There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very littleexercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of thetelevision or their computers and play computer games. 19 . What they need isto go outside and play active games or sports.The above are the main reasons for this problem. 20 , as well as forcing themaway from fast food shops and bad eating habits.A. There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweightB. Adults are becoming fatter and unhealthier tooC. If there were fewer of these restaurantsD. Therefore we have to encourage young people to be more activeE. Not only is this an unhealthy pastime (消遣), it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy foodF. I feel there are a number of reasons for thisG. It’s a good idea to allow children to eat what they choose第二部分. 英语知识运用（共两节，满分55分）第一节. 完形填空（共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分）One of Mark Twain’s classic novels is The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.
