Marie Sklodowska was the daughter of a Polish teacher. She was a very intelligent little girl; she could read when she was only four years old. Her father taught science at a school in Warsaw. Marie went to his school when she was fourteen years old. She was very interested in science and mathematics, and liked to help his father in his laboratory. She was a very good student and left school with a gold medal.
Marie wanted to be a scientist like her father. In 1891 her sister Bronya invited her to go to Paris. There she began to learn science and mathematics at the famous university of the Sorbonne. At first Marie could speak only a little French, but he worked hard and soon passed her examination. In Paris Marie met another scientist Pierre Curie, and in 1895 she married him.
In 1898 both the Curies decided to investigate the radioactive elements in pitchblende. The Austrians gave them a lot of pitchblende for their work, and the Curies began to experiment with it slowly and carefully. They worked hard for four years, and at last Marie obtained a very small piece of radioactive element—radium. It weighed only one tenth of a gramme, but it was pure radium and it shone with a wonderful light. The new element was valuable to science, but it was beautiful too.

When do people decide whether or not they want to become friends? During their first four minutes together, according to a book by Dr. Leonard Zunin. "Every time you meet someone in a social situation, give him your undivided attention for four minutes. A lot of people"s whole lives would change if they did just that."
When we are introduced to new people, we should try to appear friendly and self-confident. In general, he says, "People like people who like themselves." On the other hand, we should not make the other person think we are too sure of ourselves.
Hearing such advice, one might say, "But I"m not a friendly, self-confident person. That"s not my nature. It would be dishonest for me to act that way." In reply, Dr. Zunin would claim that a little practice can help us feel comfortable about changing our social habits. We can become accustomed to any changes we choose to make in our personality. "It"s like getting used to a new car. It may be unfamiliar at first, but it goes much better than the old one."
But isn"t it dishonest to give the appearance of friendly self-confidence when we don"t actually feel that way? Perhaps, but according to Dr. Zunin, "total honesty" is not always good for social relationships, especially during the first few minutes of contact. There is a time for everything, and a certain amount of play-acting may be best for the first few minutes of contact with a stranger. That is not the time to complain about one"s health or to mention faults one finds in other people. It is not the time to tell the whole truth about one"s opinions and impressions.
The author also declares that interpersonal relations should be taught as a required course in every school, along with reading, writing, and mathematics. In his opinion, success in life depends mainly on how we get along with other people. That is at least as important as how much we know.
69. When first introduced to new people, we should________.
A. be friendly and sure of ourselves regardless of the other people"s feeling
B. always tell the whole truth even if it hurts
C. appear friendly and self-confident at least for the first few minutes
D. mention faults we find in the other people
70. According to the author"s advice, interpersonal relations________.
A. should be set as a required course in schools
B. are more important than other courses in school
C. are less important than reading, writing and mathematics
D. is the only key to one"s success in life
71. The underlined word "play-acting" in the fourth paragraph means________.
A. being totally honest        B. being a little dishonest
C. acting out what one feels          D. acting in a play
72. The best title for the passage could be________.
A. The Key to Success        B. Best Ways to Make Friends
C. Personal Relations           D. The First Four Minutes

I"ve cheated in school when I thought that I could get away with it. I"m not proud of it and I don"t usually feel very good about myself afterward, but sometimes it"s the only way possible to survive in a pressure cooker. My parents are really set on my getting good grades. They study my report card the same way they examine the newspaper"s stock market page. And they make me feel that I"ve got to live up to their expectations.
But often it"s like each teacher acts as if his is the only subject we have. They think nothing of piling on our homework or giving surprise quizzes. Sometimes we have to take two or three tests in different subjects on the same day. I"d like to see a lot of adults I know preparing for that.
When the pressure becomes too high, some kids may resort to(诉诸于) cheating. If you have three or four subjects to study for, you"re not going to be able to devote enough time to each subject in order to be well prepared for each class. Besides, it may be the only way left to live up to your parents" expectations and compete with the top students in the class.
Everybody knows that if you cheat, it"s important not to get caught. Few things can cause more of chaos. Once, my elder brother got caught cheating on a math final. My parents acted as though he"d committed a federal crime. The assistant principal called them to school, but although the incident caused several conferences, I don"t think that anybody ever really understood what my brother was going through. We"re just supposed to perform outstandingly as well as always act honestly, but how many adults can actually live up to the standards they set for us?
My father has gotten countless traffic tickets for parking in no parking zones or for not coming to a full stop at stop signs.And you"re always hearing about people who don"t file their income tax honestly.How about all the corruption in government?Successful adults often accept dishonesty in order to achieve their business goals.Are kids the only ones who are supposed to be perfect?
Most of my friends have cheated on tests in school at one time or another. The kids who never cheat are usually either afraid of getting caught or just don"t know how to do it safely. Nobody wants to cheat. But if it"s a choice of being honest or of getting a grade, most kids will try for the A. That may sound wrong, but we didn"t make the rules, we"re just trying to get by.
77. What is the best title of this passage?
A. No one wants to cheat      B. Everyone likes to cheat
C. No one can survive a cheat      D. Everyone can fight a cheat
78. The author owes children"s cheat to the following EXCEPT________.
A. parents  B. teachers         C. children         D. examinations
79. In the fifth paragraph, the author mainly wants to say________.
A. his father always cheats in his life
B. kids are always supposed to be perfect
C. all the adults can not live up to the standards they set for children
D. children shouldn"t learn from successful adults
80. Which of the following is true according to this passage?
A. The author thinks it is children"s right to cheat in school.
B. Most of the author"s friends like cheating on tests in school.
C. The author shows a positive attitude towards a surprise quiz in school.
D. The author thinks it wrong to cheat in school.

第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A,B,C,和D）中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Before he became president, Abraham Lincoln spent twenty years as an unsuccessful Illinois lawyer —at least, in financial fields. Legends (传奇) are often untrue, but Lincoln was the real thing. During his years as a lawyer, there were hundreds of examples of his kindness and honesty.
For example, Lincoln didn’t like to charge the poor who were as poor as he was. Once an old man gave him twenty-five dollars, but Lincoln sent him back ten, saying he was being too generous. He often persuaded the people who came to his office to settle their issues (问题) out of court, thereby saving them a lot of money and earning nothing himself.
He and his partner once prevented a mentally ill girl from being cheated off her land. The case took fifteen minutes, and the girl’s brother was completely satisfied. When his partner came to divide up their fee, Lincoln criticized him and said, "The money comes out of the pocket of a poor, mentally ill girl. I would rather starve than cheat her in this manner. You return half the money at least, or I won’t take a cent of it as my share."
Kindness and honesty make you feel good about yourself and create trust in others. It’s not very fashionable these days to talk about the benefits of kindness and honesty, but the benefits are there and are valuable. He often said, "When I do good, I feel good, and when I do bad, I feel bad. That’s my belief."
36. From the passage, we can know that Lincoln ____.
A. charged poor people nothing
B. was very rich when he was a lawyer
C. did not like money
D. helped the poor as much as possible
37. What do we learn from the third paragraph?
A. The girl’s problem was very difficult to settle.
B. He criticized his partner for accepting too much money.
C. The girl’s brother was very generous.
D. Lincoln’s partner got at least half the money from the girl’s case.
38. What can we infer from the passage?
A. Lincoln got a lot of money from those who came to him.
B. The legends of famous people are always untrue.
C. Lincoln believed that kindness and honesty were valuable.
D. It is popular to talk about the benefits of honesty.
39. Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Don’t Believe Legends
B. Abraham Lincoln’s Belief
C. The Value of Kindness
