阅读下列四篇短文，从每小题后所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项. A

When Christopher Columbus landed on the then unnamed Costa Rica in 1502, he saw many Indians wearing gold earrings. So he thought the land must be rich in gold. He named the place Costa Rica, which means ―rich coast‖ in Spanish.

Though little gold was found, Costa Rica today is indeed rich with coffee and bananas. Coffee is the most important product in Costa Rica and most of it is exported (出口) to other countries like America and West Germany. Bananas are the country’s second most important export.

Costa Ricans also grow many other crops such as fruits, corn and beans for their own use. Costa Ricans love colors and their houses are painted in bright colors.

Education is very important to the Costa Ricans. Almost every village has a school and education is a must for children between seven and fourteen years of age. Boys and girls go to separate (单独的) schools. Classes begin in March and end in November. The other three months of the year are harvest time and the children have to help their parents to pick coffee beans.

·5·

56. What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?

A. How Columbus found Costa Rica. B. How Costa Rica got its name. C. What the Costa Ricans wore. D. What language the Costa Ricans spoke. 57. The Costa Ricans may NOT paint their houses ______.

A. pink and red B. grey and black C. blue and green D. yellow and orange 58. From December to February, school children in Costa Rica ______. A. have lessons every day B. have their examinations

B

Christian Eijkman, a Dutch doctor, left the Netherlands for the island of Java. Many people on the island had a disease called beriberi. He was going there to try and find a cure.

At first, Eijkman thought some kind of germ (细菌) caused beriberi. He raised some chickens. He didn’t eat them, but made experiments on them. The local people were quite surprised at that. One day he noticed that his chickens became sick when they were fed the food most Javanese ate — refined white rice (精炼米). When he fed them with unrefined rice, also known as brown rice, they recovered. Eijkman realized that he had made an important discovery—that some things in food could prevent disease. These things were named vitamins . The Javanese were not getting enough vitamins because they had actually removed the part that contains vitamins. Later, other diseases were also found to be caused by the lack of vitamins in a person’s food.

Today many people know the importance of vitamins and they make sure they have enough vitamins from the food they eat. If they don’t, they can also take vitamin pills. 59. Christian Eijkman went to the island of Java to ______.

A. spend his holiday B. find ways to grow better crops C. do some research about the island D. help the Javanese with their illness 60. If a person doesn’t get enough vitamins in his diet, he’d better ______. A. eat more rice B. eat more meat C. eat some chicken D. eat vitamin pills 61. We can learn from the passage that ______.

·6·

A. beriberi was caused by chickens B. the Javanese didn’t like vitamins

C. Christian Eijkman’s experiment was successful D. the Javanese’s disease was caused by a kind of germ C

America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while — then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families.

Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily.

Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably.

For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home! 62. The writer of this passage must be ______.

A. an American B. a Chinese C. a professor D. a student 63. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.

·7·

B. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives. C. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy. D. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.

64. From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be ______.

A. warmly welcomed at the airport B. offered a ride to his home

C. treated hospitably at his home D. treated to dinner in a restaurant

65. The underlined words ―generous with our time‖ in Paragraph 4 probably mean _____. A. strict with time B. serious with time C. careful with time D. willing to spend time D The other day I heard a few local musicians talking:

―I hate all the terrible pianos in this town. I hate that rubbish they play on the radio. They can’t even understand a bit of music.‖

―I’m never playing in that club again. Too many drunks and nobody listens to us.‖

But, one younger musician said, ―There are a few clubs that book my band a few nights a month, and I’m trying to find other places to play. I’m also looking to book a few summer festivals this year.‖ I’ve heard that you are the average of the five people whom you spend the most time with, or to put it another way, you are who your friends are.

Attitudes are important. Whether they’re positive or negative, they’re rubbing off on you. If you’re around people who complain about lack of work and about other musicians, or blame (责怪) others, and you play the role of victim (受害者), chances are you will start to as well. So it’s time to take a look at the people you call ―friends‖.

This is an easy exercise: Make a list of the people who you hang out with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. Set a new standard (标准) for yourself and don’t become friends with people who fall below that standard.

·8·

Keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better. Ask them how they do it. Ask if they will help you get the work you’re looking for, or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path.

66. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage? A. A friend in need is a friend indeed B. How to make friendship last for ever C. You are who your friends are

D. Friends are the most important in one’s success

67. The underlined sentence ―they’re rubbing off on you‖ in Paragraph 6 means ______. A. they’ll push you ahead B. they’ll influence you

C. they’ll cover your shortcomings D. they’ll help you achieve your goal

68. The musicians’ words at the beginning are written mainly to show ______. A. the musicians’ living conditions are quite poor B. people have poor taste in music

C. people have different attitudes towards the same thing D. young people have greater chances of succeeding

69. By taking the exercise mentioned in Paragraph 7, you can ______. A. improve a lot in making more friends B. come to the right way of making friends C. develop a better relationship with your friends D. arrange the time with your friends properly 70. The passage is mainly written for ______. A. musicians B. managers

C. negative people D. people wanting to succeed 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

I was ten when I first sat with my grandmother behind the cashier（收银台）in her general store. 71 I quickly learned the importance of treating customers politely and saying ―thank you.‖

At first I was paid in candy. 72 I worked every day after school, and during the summer and on weekends and holidays from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. My father helped me set up a bank account. 73

By the time I was 12, My grandmother thought I had done such a good job that she promoted me to selling cosmetics（化妆品）. I developed the ability to look customers directly in the eye. Even though I was just a kid, women would ask me such things as ―What color do you think I should wear?‖ I took a real interest in their questions and was able to translate what they wanted into makeup（化妆）ideas. 74

The job taught me a valuable lesson: to be a successful salesperson, you didn’t need to be a rocket scientist—you needed to be a great listener. __75___ Except they are no longer women purchasing cosmetics from me; instead, they are kids who tell me which toys they would like to see designed and developed.

A. Later I received 50 cents an hour. B. Before long, she let me sit there by myself. C. I ended up selling a record amount of cosmetics.

D. Today I still carry that lesson with me: I listen to customers. E. My grandma’s trust taught me how to handle responsibility. F. Soon I found myself looking more beautiful than ever before.

G. Watching my money grow was more rewarding than anything I could have bought.
