A
My parents influenced us with the concepts of family, faith and patriotism when l was  young.Even though we struggled to make ends meet, they stressed how fortunate we were to - live in a great country with limitless opporturuties.
I got my first real job when l was ten. My dad, Benjamin, injured his back working in a  cardboard - box factory and was retrained as a hairstylist. He rented space in a little mall and gave his shop the fancy name of Mr. Ben"s Coiffure.
The owner of the shopping center gave Dad a discount on his rent for cleaning the parking. lot three nights a week, which meant getting up at 3 a.m.To pick up trash,  Dad used a little machine that looked like a lawn mower. Mom and I emptied garbage cans and picked up litterby hand.It took two to three hours to clean the lot. I"d  s1eep in the car on-the way home.I did this for two years, but the lessons I leacmed have lasted a lifetime,I acquired" disci-pline and a strong work morality, and leamed at an early age the impmtance of balancing life"s competing interests-----in my case, school, homework and a job.This really"helped during my senior year of high school, when l worked 40 hours  a  week flipping hamburgers,at a fast – food  joint while taking afull load of college - prep courses.  The hard work paid off .I attended the U.S.Milttary Academy and went on to reaceive graduate degree  in law and business from Harvard. Later,I joined a big Los Angetes law firm and was elected to the California state assembly. In these jobs and in everything else I’ve  done,I have never forgotten those nights in the parking lot.The experience taught me that there is dignitty in all work and that if people are workmg to provide for thems elves ahd their families ,that is something we should honor.

When I was little, my family used to move frequently. Before I could even get acquainted with my schoolmates, my family was on the move again. I became very  36  because of this.

B
Anthony Horowitz was miserable (痛苦的) as a child. He was, as he puts it, “not very bright” and couldn’t win the attention of his very wealthy parents, who preferred his “clever” older brother. At age 8, Horowitz was sent away to an abusive (虐待的) boarding school in his native England, even though he screamed and pleaded (恳求) with his parents year after year not to send him. “The thought was, ‘It’ll be good for him’,” Horowitz recalls (回忆).
It was not. Horowitz did badly in his studies, had few friends and was bullied (欺负) for five years. “My teachers couldn’t have had a lower opinion of me,” he said. “I wasn’t even smart enough to rebel (反抗). The one thing I remember from the very earliest age was this desire to write. When I was 10 years old, I remember asking my parents to get me a typewriter for my birthday because I wanted to be a writer.”
Now, at 55, Horowitz is one of the world’s most successful children’s book authors. His Alex Rider series has sold more than 5 million copies, and the eighth book featuring the young spy, Crocodile Tears, came out this month.
The Alex Rider books tell the adventures of 14-year-old Alex Rider, an agent for the British intelligence agency MI6.
Horowitz said he doesn’t try to write for kids; it just comes out that way. “I have a feeling it’s to do with purity and simplicity. I give as little information as is necessary to describe the room, the character in the room, and get on with the action,” he said.
That style has also made Horowitz a successful writer of television shows for adults in Britain because, he says, writing books for kids is a lot like writing television for grown-ups: In both cases, it’s all about entertaining people with a good story.
Now, Horowitz couldn’t be happier with his life. He sums up his success: “…you can be anything you want to be if you just believe in yourself. I do believe it completely.”
61. The text is mainly about _____.
A. Horowitz’s popular book – Alex Rider       B. Horowitz’s miserable childhood
C. Horowitz, a successful children’s writer        D. Horowitz’s special writing style
62 In his childhood, Anthony Horowitz _____.
A. was more intelligent than his brother       
B. was paid more attention by his parents
C. couldn’t understand why he was sent to the boarding school
D. led a miserable life because of poverty
63.In the boarding school, Horowitz’s teachers ______.
A. showed great concern for him                B. often abused and bullied him
C. taught him how to write stories               D. thought little of his ability
64. Which of the following is true of Anthony Horowitz?
A. He was the beloved child of his family.       
B. He benefited a lot from boarding school.
C. He emphasizes the plot rather than character in stories.
D. Although he is successful, he isn’t very happy.
65. What advice does Horowitz have for readers?
A. Confidence is the key to success.           B. Hardship teaches valuable lessons.
C. Interest is the best teacher.                D. Diligence is the parent of success.

PART FOUR WRITING
SECTION A
Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram/Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information for the passage. Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.
The Elysee Palace(爱丽舍宫) in France enjoys equal popularity in the world with the Buckingham Palace in the United Kingdom, the Kremlin in Russia as well as the White House in the U.S.A. It is the residence of the president of the French Republic and the symbol of the supreme authority in France.
The Elysee Palace, with an area of 11,000 square meters, is at the eastern end of the Champs Elysee in the city of Paris and backed by a large and quiet garden of more than twenty thousand square meters. The main building of it, quite handsome and graceful, is a 2-story classical stone architecture of European style, flanked(两侧有) by two side buildings facing each other and with an extensive rectangular courtyard in the middle. There are altogether 369 halls and rooms of different sizes.
The Elysee Palace, built in 1718, has a long history of nearly 300 years to date. This house was at first a private residence of a count named d’Evreau, so it was called Hotel d’Evreau. It had later gone through many changes and its owners had been changed for many times, but all people living in it were distinguished personages and high officials. The house was renamed Bonaparte Mansion when it was owned by Louis XV and Louis XVI successively(接连着,继续地)when they acted as emperors. Napoleon I signed his act of abdication(放弃)here when he had suffered crushing defeat in the Battle of Waterloo in 1815. Napoleon III moved in the Mansion in 1848 when he was elected president, and the house became a Royal Palace when he proclaimed himself as emperor. The Third French Republic issued a law in 1873, designating(指定)officially the Elysee Palace as the residence of president of the French Republic. Over a hundred years since then, almost all the presidents of the French Republic worked and lived there. Starting from 1989, the Elysee Palace is open to the public every year in September on the French Castles Day.
