There is a popular saying, “All of us have a Guardian Angel, guiding us”.
Some of the greatest success stories of history have followed a word of 21 or an act of confidence by a loved one or a 22 friend. Had it not been for a confident wife, Sophia, we might not have listed Nathaniel Hawthorne among the great 23 of literature. When Nathaniel, a 24 man, went home to tell his wife that he was a failure and had been fired from his job in the customs, she surprised him with a cry of joy.
"Now," she said 25 , "you can write your book!"
"Yes," replied the man, with little confidence, "and what shall we 26 while I am writing it?"
To his 27 , she opened a drawer and pulled out a sum of money.
"Where on earth did you get that?" he asked.
"I have always known you were a man of genius," she told him. "I knew that someday you would write a great novel. So every week, out of the money you gave me for housekeeping, I
28 a little bit. So here is enough to 29 us for one whole year."
From her trust and 30 came one of the greatest novels of American literature, The Scarlet Letter.

Social customs and ways of behaving changes. Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behavior for a man to smoke on the street. No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room. Customs also change from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or on the right in your company? Or does it matter? Should you have one hand in your lap(衣兜) or on the table? The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both countries people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time. Also most Englishmen will open a door for a woman or offer their seat to a woman and so will most Americans. Promptness is important both in England and America. That is, if a dinner is for seven o’clock, the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay（拖延）. The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make people feel uncomfortable especially if they are your guests. There is an old story about a man who gave a very formal party. When the food was served, one of the guests started to cut his peas with a knife. The other guests were surprised or shocked, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way. It would have been bad manners to make his guests feel foolish and uncomfortable.
56. If a man smoked in the room where a lady stayed, he would be considered as_____.
A. a gentleman B , a boss C. a fool D. a worker
57. Which of the following is true?
A. A respected man usually behaves properly
B. social customs in some countries never change
C. English people open the door for women while Americans don’t
D. To eat peas with a knife is good manners
58. The underlined word “promptness” means _____.
A. to show respect for a lady B. to apologize when you are late
C. to invite sb to dinner D. to do things without delay
59. The writer tells us a story just to ______.
A. amuse the readers B. tell us how to avoid making others uncomfortable
C. tell us how to eat peas D. show that social customs and ways change
60. Which might be the title of the passage ?
A. American and British culture B. Table manners
C. Change old customs D. Social customs
Great changes have been made in family life because of science and industry. In the past, when more Americans lived on farms, the typical family had many children. In a farm family, parents and their children often lived with grandparents. Often, too, uncles and aunts lived nearby. But when industry becomes more important than agriculture in American life, families become smaller because industry requires workers who are ready and able to move off the land and to move again whenever necessary. And large families cannot be moved from place to place as easily as smaller families can. So , at present people tend to have smaller families.
In the future, because of industrialization, a typical family will be required to move even more often than now, so families will be even smaller. The typical families may remain childless and are only made up of a man and a woman. A small number of families may take raising children as their chief work. At the same time they may also raise other people’s children, leaving those families free to move job to job.
61. The main topic discussed in the passage is _______.
A. the development of science and industry in America
B. the influence(影响) of science and industry on America families.
C. the harmful effect of industrialization
D. the social problems resulting from the highly developed science and industries in America
62. _____ are described in the passage.
A. Families of the past
B. Families of the present and of the future
C. Families of the past and of the future
D. Families of the past, the present and the future
63.According to the writer, one of the reasons that families are getting smaller in American is that _____.
A. children tend to leave their parents and grandparents when they grow up
B. people stop caring for having children
C. the need for workers who are able to move any time has been increasing
D. both old and young people like to live by themselves
64._____ will be in charge of raising children in the future.
A. most families B. all families C. social workers D. a small number of families
65. From the passage, we can conclude that _____.
A. science and industry have caused thousands of families to separate
B. children do not like to live with their parents or grandparents
C. large families can hardly exist in modern society
D. Americans are very careful in choosing their jobs
Henry Ford’s parents left Ireland during the potato famine and settled in the Detroit area in the.1840s. Ford was born in what is now Dearborn, Michigan. His formal education was limited, but even as a youngster, he was handy with machinery. He worked for the Detroit Edison Company, advancing from machine-shop apprentice to chief engineer.
In 1893, Ford built a gasoline engine, and within a few years, an automobile, still a novelty item of the rich or do-it-yourself engineers. In 1899, Ford left Edison to help run the Detroit Automobile Company. Cars were still built essentially one at a time. Ford hoped to incorporate ideas from other industries----standardized parts as Eli Whitney has used with gun manufacturing, or assembly line methods George Eastman tried in photo processing ----to make the process more efficient. This idea struck others in his field as crazy, so before long, Ford quit Detroit Automobile Company and began to build his own racing cars. They were good enough to attract backers and even partners, and in 1903, he set up the Ford Motor Company.
He still met resistance to his ideas for mass production of a car the average worker could afford. But he stuck to his goal and finally in 1908, began production of the Model T. Ford gradually adapted the production line until in 1913, his plant incorporated the first moving assembly line. Demand for the affordable car soared even as production went up: before Ford stopped making the model T in 1927, 15 million had been sold, and Ford had become the leading auto manufacturer in the country. In addition to the moving assembly line, Ford revolutionized the auto industry by increasing the pay and decreasing the hours of his employees, ensuring he could get enough and the best workers. During the Model T era, Ford bought out his shareholders so he had completed financial control of the now vast corporation. He continued to innovate, competitors (growing more powerful though fewer in number) began to cut into Ford’s market share.
Ford and his family spent a food deal of time and money on charitable work. They set up a historical museum in Greenfield Village, Michigan, and most notably set up the Ford Foundation, which provides grants for research, education, and development.
“A bore (讨厌鬼) is a fellow who opens his mouth and puts his feats (技艺) in it,” said Ford
51. The main idea of the first paragraph is _________.
A. Ford’s education B. Ford’s family
C. Ford’s quickness to learn D. Ford’s interest and handiness in machinery
52. Which of the following statements is right?
A. Ford created the idea of standardized parts in industry
B. Ford is the first to imply production line in manufacturing
C. Ford is the first to create the idea of mass production of a car affordable for the average workers.
D. Ford is the first to make cars.
53. The reason why Ford left Detroit Automobile Company probably was that _________.
A. he was fired for his crazy idea
B. he hoped to carry out his own idea on car-making
C. people didn’t like to work with him
D. he wanted to set up his own car factory
54. According to the passage, Henry Ford can be probably described as a man of _______.
A. stubbornness B. C. caution C. determination D. well-education
55. Which of the following quotes means most similarly with the last sentence of the passage?
A. You can’t build a reputation on what you are going to do.
B. Traditions are group efforts to keep the unexpected from happening.
C. The greatest thing you can do is surprise yourself
D. For us, there is only the trying. The rest is not our business.
Gao Yuanyuan, a Beijing girl, is lucky. She seems to have everything that most girls can only dream of. Her pretty face and slim figure were spotted by a talent scout (星探) when she was only 16. Now her latest work, “Shanghai Dreams” won the Jury
Prize (评委会奖) at the 58th Cannes Film Festival, in France, on May 21. That success put Gao in the spotlight everywhere.
But Gao, 25, said that she didn’t think there was much to get excited about. “I am an actress. That’s my job,” she said. Nowadays people pay more attention to fame and money in the entertainment world, but ignore the effort(努力，汗水) made by an actor.” “Acting in front of the camera is just a vocation（职业）. Like any other job, you need to show that you are capable,” Gao explained. With more young people seeing acting as an ideal job, Gao advises that they first ask themselves seriously, “Do I love performing, or do I want to be a star?” For Gao, being a good actress is the most important thing.
Gao admitted that she didn’t like acting before. Her dream was to be an office worker. Her major at college was secretarial studies. “I did shoot ads and films when I was in college, but I thought of it as just a part-time job,” she added. “It was nothing special, in the same way my classmates were tutors and salesmen in their spare time.”
It was not until the TV series “Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber” was shot that Gao began to love acting. At first, she said, the Hong Kong director didn’t think she was suitable for the role. “I performed in a fit of pique (赌气) and I’d never been so serious before,” she said. Then Gao found she became more interested in performing and worked harder for perfection.
51. Gao Yuanyuan became a star probably because __________.
A. She had pretty face and slim figure
B. She had always dreamed of it.
C. “Shanghai Dreams” won the Jury Prize at the 58th Cannes Film Festival, in France
D. Her job was an actress.
52. The word “ ignore” in Paragraph 2 means _________.
A. know about B. respect C. pay no attention to D. pay much attention to
53. Gao’s advice on being actress shows _____________.
A. one needs to work hard. B. one has to work hard.
C. one should be honest D. one should be capable
54. The best title of the passage is ____________.
A. Gao and her acting life B. Gao’s new work “Shanghai Dreams”
C. Gao and her TV series D. Gao’s loving of acting
55. We may infer（推断） that Gao ________.
A. Gao loved acting when she was young
B. the Hong kong director didn’t appreciate her performance at first
C. the TV series “Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber” was popular
D. When she was young, she acted in “Shanghai Dreams”
I just came home from visiting my 90-year-old grandpa after his heart surgery. We talked and laughed and before I left he __36__me, told me that he loved me and told me not to be_37_ if he died because he had loved his life.
When my mom was in hospital due to breast cancer, I went to _38_ her. She wasn’t in her _39_. When I headed for the Nurses Station to _40_ her, I saw her coming down the hall. “ Mom, why are you out of bed? Where have you been?” She _41_ and said she’d been to the nursery floor to visit the babies.
My lifelong friend almost lost her 50-year-old husband to cancer._42_, she did her full-time job at the hospital and two other jobs to _43_ losing their house. She continued to laugh, love and find_44_ every single day in life.
And on and on---------
Maybe that’s part of why I have a positive _45_. I’m really lucky to know so many _46_ people. I’ve known so many people in my life who have _47_ the difficulties and the horrors of life with grace, humor and _48_.
When you say life isn’t worth _49_, when you say you want to die, when _50_ you know has used you, abused you, _51_ you, hated you, it’s you, your _52_ that have created a life for yourself that you don’t feel is worth living and a life no one else wants to live with you. I don’t feel_53_ for you. I don’t care about you. You’re a coward(懦夫). _54_, you should try to change things, move _55_ and learn something from the things you have experienced. Then maybe someone will really care about you.
