item)
从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选择项中选出一个最佳答案,并在答题卡上将相应的字母涂黑.
Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
In reading the world\'s great literature on human excellence and
personal success, I\'ve found that to launch ourselves into a
life of true success we need to satisfy one basic condition:
pursue our vision with stubborn (顽强的) consistency. The biggest
difference between people who succeed and those who don\'t is
not usually talent but persistence.
On my way to work one morning, I met Rudy Ruettiger, who is now
a motivational speaker. He has grown up in Joliet, listening to
stories about Notre Dame and dreaming of one day playing
football there. Friends told him he wasn\'t a good enough
student to be admitted. So he gave up his dream and went to work
in a power plant.
Then a friend was killed in an accident at work. Shocked, Rudy
suddenly realized that life is too short not to pursue your
dreams.
In 1972, at the age of 23, he enrolled at Holy Cross Junior
College in South Bend, Ind. He got good enough grades to
transfer to Notre Dame, where he finally made the football team
as a member of the “scout team”, the players who help the team
prepare for games.
Rudy was living his dream, almost. But he wasn\'t allowed to
suit up for the games themselves. The next year, after Rudy
requested it, the coach told Rudy he could put on his uniform
for the season\'s final game. And there he sat, on the Notre
Dame bench during the game. A student started shouting, “We want
Rudy!” Soon others joined in. Finally, at the age of 27, with 27
seconds left to play, Rudy Ruettiger was sent onto the field-and
made the final tackle (阻截). So his team won the game.
When I met Rudy 17 year later, it was in the parking lot outside
Notre Dame stadium (体育场), where a camera crew was filming scenes
for Rudy, a motion picture about his life. His story illustrates
that there is no limit to where your dreams can take you.
21. The writer believes that the key to achieving success is .
A. developing one\'s talent
B. seizing opportunities
C. having wide vision
D. sticking to one\'s goal
22. According to the passage, Rudy once gave up his dream of
playing football for Notre Dame because .
A. his friend was killed there
B. his foot was injured in an accident
C. he lacked confidence in himself
D. he failed in the entrance examination
23. Rudy quit his job in the power plant because .
A. his friend encouraged him to
B. his outlook on life changed
C. he was disappointed in his future
D. he was shocked by his friend\'s death
24. Rudy was transferred to Notre Dame .
A. as a good student
B. as a good player
C. with the help of a coach
D. with the help of a friend
25. A camera crew was making a movie about Rudy\'s life because
.
A. Rudy was the oldest player at Notre Dame
B. Rudy succeeded in realizing his dream
C. Rudy was the best speaker at Notre Dame
D. Rudy succeeded in developing his ability
Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
NASA, the U.S. space agency, believes there\'s a good chance
that we\'re not alone in the universe. Last fall, NASA began a
new project called the High Resolution Microwave Survey (HRMS).
Its aim: to find evidence of life in one of the billions of
galaxies in the universe.
The search for intelligent life on other planets isn\'t new. It
began almost 100 years ago. That\'s when scientists built a huge
transmitter to send radio waves into space. Scientists thought
smart beings on other planets might pick up the signals.
Scientists also have sent a message about humans and our solar
system to a nearby constellation (星座). But because the
constellation is 25,000 light years away, a return message
wouldn\'t reach Earth for 50,000 years! So don\'t wait up for an
answer.
So far, no extraterrestrial (地球外的) beings that we know of have
returned our “calls.” But according to Dr. Jill Tarter, an HRMS
scientist, we haven\'t exactly had our ears wide open. “Now,
however,” says Dr. Tarter, “we\'ve built the tools we need to
listen well.”
Last October, Dr. Tarter switched on the largest radio receiver
in the world. It\'s an enormous metal bowl stretching 1,000 feet
across a valley in Puerto Rico.
Meanwhile, another NASA scientist turned on a huge radio
receiver in California\'s Mojave Desert. NASA hopes these big
dishes-and others around the world-will pick up radio signals
from new world.
Dr. Frank Drake has been searching for life in outer space for
years. He explains the HRMS project this way: To listen to your
radio, you move the tuner on the dial until the channels come in
loud and clear: Now imagine radio receivers that scan our galaxy
“listening” to 14 million channels every second. That\'s what
NASA\'s radio receivers in Puerto Rico and California are doing.
But that\'s not all. Powerful computers hooked to the receivers
examine every signal carefully. The computers try to match the
signals to ones that scientists already recognize, such as
human-made signals. If they can\'t, Drake and Tarter check on
them. “It could prove there is radio technology elsewhere in the
universe,” says Dr. Tarter. “And that would mean we\'re not
alone.” 26、NASA scientists started a new project in order to
_______.
A、 discover life in other galaxies
B、 send human beings into space
C、 find evidence of a new galaxy
D、 confirm the number of galaxies
27、According to Dr.Jill Tarter ,the reason why we haven\'t
received any return any return messages from outer space is
that_______.
A、 our ears are not sharp enough to hear them
B、 our equipment hasn\'t been good enough
C、 it takes millions of yuars for them to reach us
D、 it takes quite a long time to send them
28、Dr.Jill Tarter compares the large receiver to _______.
A、 the human ear
B、 the universe
C、 a metal bowl
D、 a huge dish
29、According to Dr.Frank Drake ,NASA\'s radio receivers in
Puerto Rico and California are _______.
A、 trying to check on every channel carefully
B、 moving the tuner on the dial for clear channels
C、 scanning the universe for possible signals
D、 picking up radio signals from new world
30、The best title of this passage is ________.
A、 Signals from the Space
B、 The Invention of New Radio Receivers
C、 The Intelligent Life in Outer Space
D、 NASA Listens for Space Neighbors
Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
Even a careful motorist(开汽车的人) may commit a motoring offence
(违法).In this case, he will appear in a police court .This is a
court ruled by a judge without a jury (陪审团).A judge has powers
to pass sentence for relatively minor offences only ;serious
charges are dealt with by a judge and a jury.
In certain cases, a motoring offender may choose to go before a
judge and a jury ,instead of appearing before just a judge .A
court is also used for the conduct of preliminary investigations
to dedermine whether or not a motoring offender shall appear for
trial in a higher court.
When his case comes up in court ,the motorist hears his name
called by the clerk of the court, and comes forward to identify
himself.The judge then calls for the policeman who charged the
offender and asks him to give evidence.
He is expected to ive an account of what happened when the
offence was committed and to mention any special
circumstances.For example the offence may have been partly due
to the foolishness of another motorist.It would be unwise for
the motoring offender to exaggerate this.It will not help his
case to try to blame someone else for his own mistake.
If you are guilty ,it is of course wise to admit it and say
you\'re sorry for committing the offence and taking up the
court\'s time .Judges are not heartless and a motorist may be
lucky enough to hear one say:“You\'ve got good reasons ,but you
have broken the law and I\'ll have to impose a fine .Pay five
pounds.Next case.”
Some short-tempered people forget that both policemen and judges
have a public duty to perform,and aren rude to them. This does
not pay! A judge will not let off an offender merely because he
is respectful,but a polite law-breaker may certainly hope that
the judge will extend him what tolerance the law permits.
31、Even a careful motorist may be asked to go to a police court
for______.
A、 an injury
B、 a motoring offence
C、 refusing to pay a fine
D、 being rude to the policeman
32、The underlined word “one ”(paragraph 5) refers to _____.
A、a jury member
B、a police officer
C、a motorist
D、a judge
33、A motoring offender is usually charged by ______.
A、a judge
B、a jury
C、a policeman
D 、another motorist
34、It is foolish for a motoring offender to _______.
A 、overstate another motorist\'s mistake
B 、mention someone else\'s foolishness
C 、argue that he is not guilty
D 、choose to go before a jury
35、If a man knows that he is guilty, he should ______.
A、 be polite to the policeman and the judge
B、 try his best to appear before just a judge
C 、save the court\'s time and pay the fine
D 、admit the wrong and say sorry to the court

Ⅶ将下列短文译成汉语
When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult
to let go of your anger. But forgiveness is possible --- and it
can be surprisingly helpful to your physical and mental health.
Indeed, research has shown that people who forgive report more
energy, better appetite and better sleep patterns.
So when someone has hurt you, calm yourself. Talk a couple of
deep breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a
beautiful scene in nature, someone you love. Don\'t wait for an
apology(道歉)。Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily
mean accepting the action of the person who upset you. Try to
see thing from the other person\'s perspective. You may realize
that he or she was acting out of ignorance, fear—even love. You
may want to write a letter to yourself from that person\'s point
of view.

你受到极大伤害后很难克制住怒火,不过宽恕对方还是有可能做到的,而且这样做对你的身心健康会带来意想不到的好处。的确,研究表明:怀有宽恕之心的人们往往体力更充沛、胃口及睡眠更好。
所以,你受到伤害后,应该保持平静。先做二、三次深呼吸,再想想那些令你高兴的事,如大自然的美景、你所钟爱的人等等。不要等待道歉,并且记住这样一句话:宽恕并不一定意味着接受对方对你的冒犯之举。尝试一下从对方的视角出发看问题。你也许会发现他或她是出于无知、害怕、甚至是爱才如此行事的。你可以站在对方的立场上给自己写封信。 |
