C
Attitude isn’t quite everything when it comes to being successful, but attitude plays a part in every stage of your life. A poor attitude gets more people fired than any other single factor, and a good attitude gets people jobs and helps them keep those jobs more than any other factor.
Your attitude affects many people, from your family to the stranger on the street corner. Your attitude is particularly important when you face seemingly hopeless situations. Losing a job or friend because of a poor attitude is unfortunate -especially because a bad attitude can be fixed.
You can find at least two ways to look at everything. A pessimist ( 悲观主义者) looks for difficulty in the opportunity, while an optimist looks for opportunity in difficulty . A poet of long ago put the difference between optimism and pessimism this way: Two men looked out from prison bars -one saw mud; the other saw stars.
Unfortunately, many people look only at the problem and not at the opportunity that lies within the problem. Many employees complain about the difficulty of their jobs, for example, not realizing that if the job were simple, the employer would hire someone with less ability at a lower wage. A small coin can hide even the sun if you hold the coin close enough to your eye. So when you get too close to your problems, to think objectively(客观地 ) about them, try to keep in mind how your vision can be obstructed. Take a step back, and look at the situation from a new angle.
You can’t do anything to change the fact that a problem exists, but you can do a great deal to find the opportunity within that problem. You’re guaranteed a better tomorrow by doing your best today and developing a plan of action for the tomorrows that lie ahead. Just remember to maintain a positive mental attitude.
64. What does the author mean by saying the first sentence in Paragraph 1?
A. If you have a good attitude, you will be successful.
B. Your attitude makes a great influence on your life.
C. Your attitude has nothing to do with your success.
D. Your success is very important to your life.
65. In Paragraph 3, the author shows us_________.
A. two ways to look at everything B. the definition of pessimist and optimist
C. the ways to look for opportunity D. the ways to look out from prison bars
66. The author mentions the example of many employees in Paragraph 4 to tell people to_____.
A. ignore the problem B. look for opportunity in the problem
C. wait for the problem to be solved D. make their jobs easy to do
67. The underline word “obstructed” in Paragraph 4 probably means________.
A. blocked B. dropped C. improved D. Shared

Escaping a fire is a serious matter: knowing what to do during a fire can save life. It is important to know the way you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such as stairs and fire escapes, but not lifts. From the lower floors of building, escape through windows is possible. Learn the best way of leaving by window with the least chance of serious injury.
The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. A person of average height, hanging by the fingertips will have a drop of about 6 feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.
Windows are also very useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed before opening the window. Otherwise, smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get enough fresh air rather than smoke that may have leaked into the room.
On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those which open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto the cement might end in injury. Bushes and grass can help to break a fall.
69. Which of the following people seldom use when trying to escape a fire?
A. Windows. B. Doors. C. Fire escapes. D. Lifts.
70. How far from the ground to the second floor window?
A. About 12 feet. B. About 3 feet.
C. Nearly 10 feet. D. About height of an average man.
71. The writer tells us that ______.
breathing in smoke might not be harmful
smoke will enter the room by an open window
fresh air can’t reach the second floor
to keep your head low will help you escape a fire
We rented our upstairs rooms to the out-of-town patients of Johns Hopkins Hospital. One evening, a bad-looking man, who was even shorter than my 8-year-old son, knocked at the door; 36 , his voice was pleasant as he said, “Good 37 . I come to see if you’ve a room.

He just 55 because of skin cancer. Before his death, he asked me to post these as gifts.

There is one thing better than making a new friend, and that is keeping an old one.
——Elmer G Letterman
Two years ago my family moved. The day we left, my best friend and I cried together in my 36 bedroom for hours. I was miserable during the five-hour car ride to my new house. Life was 37 .
On the first day of school, I called my best friend to tell her how it had gone. Then on Halloween, I sent her a letter and a picture of my new friends and me.
Finally, she wrote me a letter. It wasn’t 38 a letter—a piece of paper saying, “Best friends forever”.
When I finally got her e-mail address, I e-mailed her the 39 letter I have ever written. After the third e-mail with no 40 , my messages grew shorter and shorter. 41 each passing day, my 42 grew.I never received a reply from her.
Mom said that I 43 try calling my other friends, and that I didn’t need to always call her. 44 my best friend, the girl that I had known from my childhood?
My first 45 was automatic.“No way!” But after five more e-mail messages, I started to consider what my mom had 46 .Every night for about a week, I stayed up in bed, 47 , “Should I keep trying or...?”
The way I looked at it was that: if I’m her best friend, she’d 48 a minute to push a few buttons on the phone, or type a short “hello” on the computer. To me, keeping in touch is part of being a friend and it is important. To her, it really didn’t seem to 49 .
After two years of 50 , I finally got a phone call from her—my best friend. It was a big 51 .She told me how sorry she was for not writing, and about how busy she had been. I forgot about everything that had happened and how annoyed I had been with her.I 52 her.I guess keeping in touch just isn’t her 53 .
I have realized true friends never really lose their special 54 .Even after two years, it felt like we had just talked yesterday.
Now she and I write regularly—or at least she tries to, 55 she tries hard.

Handel’s father was a barber and surgeon, which sounds like a strange combination today, but back then those occupations went hand in hand. Even though Handel was very interested in music, his father didn’t think that was a good way to earn a living, so he wanted his son to be a lawyer. The story goes that Handel smuggled a quiet piano into the house so that he could practice in secret.
One day, Handel went along when his father went to shave a duke. While his father was working, Handel sat down and played the duke’s organ. The duke was so impressed that he convinced Handel’s father to let his son study music, and Handel finally got to learn how to compose.
Handel soon discovered that what he liked most was opera. In fact, he was so passionate about opera that he even fought a duel (决斗) over it with one of his friends. Since Italy was the place to learn about opera composing, Handel went off to Italy to study. When he got home, he got a job as court composer for a German prince.
Having landed such a wonderful job, Handel immediately asked his boss for time off. He wanted to go to England, where he’d heard that there weren’t nearly enough composers to satisfy the British taste for Italian opera.
After great success writing opera in London, Handel came back to Germany. Then fate played a funny trick on Handel and his boss. The Queen of England died, and it just so happened that the prince Handel worked for was next in line to the British throne ( 王位 ). When he arrived in London as King George, followed Handel, his court composer in Germany.
In addition to serving the King, Handel became one of the most successful opera composers of his time. And he also produced them and traveled all over Europe to hire the best singers. There are stories of battles with rival ( 对手 )opera producers and of fights between rival singers. Handel apparently had quite a temper.
If you ever go to London, look for Handel’s grave in Westminster Abbey, where there’s a wonderful monument to him.
66. How did Handel begin to learn to compose?
A. His father was sure of his future success.
B. His performance impressed a duke.
C. He begged his father to send him to Italy.
D. He practiced hard and taught himself music.
67. What does the underlined word “smuggled” mean in the passage?
A. bought secretly B. took secretly
C. carried in advance D. possessed personally
68. Why did Handel later settle down in Britain instead of Germany?
A. Because he could find better jobs in London.
B. Because he enjoyed greater fame in London.
C. Because his boss became King of Britain and brought him along.
D. Because London was a wonderful place to learn about opera.
69. Which of the following words can NOT be used to describe Handel, as
shown in the passage?
A. bad-tempered B. talented C. enthusiastic D. optimistic
70. Which of the following statements is WRONG according to the passage?
A. Handel was born in the same year with Bach.
B. Many people worked both as a barber and surgeon.
C. Handel quit his job to learn about opera in Italy.
D. Handel was buried in London and was built a monument.
Pilot Peter Ragg flew our bright red helicopter low over two parallel dunes (沙丘). The pale sand below us was dotted by the black bushes, the plants that are favorite food for the addax. Then, almost as if the dune extruded (使突出) them, two perfect addaxes appeared. Their long tails swung from side to side as they ran, heads held high on thick necks, horns reaching for the sky. We made a few turns in the plane, then let them be. In just a few seconds they were swallowed again by the Sahara. Soon they could just as easily disappear from the planet.
In September 2004 the government of Niger and a small NGO called SOS Faune du Niger surveyed this last known pocket of wild addaxes. They counted 128 individuals. Since then, the number has dropped as hunters have taken more for meat. How many addaxes remain in the Sahara is anybody’s guess, but those that do survive could be considered the living dead: There may not be a viable (能生存的) population left to reproduce.
I’m now helping to make an emergency plan for the last wild addaxes. With a few hundred thousand dollars, some trucks, and a strong group with the local Toubou guides, we may just be able to save these guys from extinction.
36. What do the addaxes in the passage usually eat?
A. Vegetables. B. Black bushes. C. Grass. D. Fruits.
37. All of the following descriptions of the addax are true EXCEPT that ____.
A. its tail is long B. its neck is thick
C. its legs are short D. its horns are long
38. What does the writer probably mean by saying that “There may not be a viable population left to reproduce”?
A. Wild addaxes will die out soon unless effective measures are taken.
B. The number of wild addaxes will increase if they are not hunted.
C. Wild addaxes cannot support themselves any longer.
D. Humans cannot survive without enough addaxes.
39. It can be inferred that the writer of the passage might be ____.
A. a journalist B. an official C. an engineer D. a zoologist
