第一节（共15小题；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。

A

About ten years ago, a young and very successful businessman named Josh was traveling down a Chicago neighborhood street. He was going a bit too fast in his shiny, black, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE, which was only two months old.

　　He was watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no child came out, but a brick sailed out and-WHUMP!-it hit the Jag’s shiny black side door! SCREECH...!!!! Immediately Josh stopped the car, jumped out, seized the kid and pushed him up against a parked car. He shouted at the kid, “What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?!” Building up a head of steam, he went on. “That’s my new Jag. That brick you threw is going to cost you a lot of money. Why did you throw it?”

　　“Please, mister, please... I’m sorry! I didn’t know what else to do!” begged the youngster. “I threw the brick because no one else would stop!” tears were streaming down the boy’s face as he pointed around the parked car. “It’s my brother, mister,” he said. “He rolled of the curb （路沿）and fell out of his wheelchair and I can’t lift him up.” Sobbing, the boy asked the businessman, “Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair?” he’s hurt and he’s too heavy for me.”

　　Moved beyond words, the young businessman tried hard to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. Straining, he lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapers and cuts, checking to see that everything was going to be OK. He then watched the younger brother push him down the sidewalk toward their home.

　　It was a long walk back to the black, shining, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE — a long and slow walk. Josh never did fix the side door of his Jaguar. He kept the dent （凹痕）to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at him to get his attention. Feel for the bricks of life coming at you.

　21．The boy threw a brick at the businessman’s car because ________.

　　 A. the businessman drove at a high speed　　 B. he envied the brand-new car very much

　　 C. he wanted to ask for some money　　 D. he wanted to get help from the driver

　22．Which of the following is the right order of the story?

　　 a．The younger brother threw a brick at Josh’s car.

　　 b．The elder brother fell out of his wheelchair.

　　 c．The younger brother begged Josh for help.

　　 d．Josh lifted the elder brother back into his wheelchair.

　　 e．Josh shouted at the younger brother.

　　 A. b, a, e, c, d　　B. a, c, d, b, e　　 C. b, a, c, e, d　　 D. a, c, b, e, d

　23．What can we learn from the passage?

　　 A. Josh would accept the money from the kids.　　 B. The two kids were Josh’s neighbors.

C. Josh was a kind-hearted man. 　　 D. Josh’s new car broke down easily.

B

The influence of America is increasing in my country. Spanish people drink Coca Cola, wear blue jeans, watch Hollywood movies, listen to American music, and eat fast food, and they do these things every day.

I think that American movies are a good way to spread American culture because people are often influenced by what they see in the movies. Most of the programs and documentaries (纪录片) we watch on TV are from America, and most of the movies we go to see are made in Hollywood.

In the last few years, the government has tried to protect the Spanish movies. Now, in our cinemas, at least twenty percent of the movies which are shown must be from Spain or from other countries in Europe.

American culture is a part of Spanish life now. It’s certain that many things from America are as much a part of people’s lives as Spanish things. For example, Coca Cola is as familiar to everybody as any typical Spanish product. I’ve known about Coca Cola for my whole life.

However, it’s different with Western fast food. For example, I don’t think McDonald’s is as successful in Spain as it is in other countries. In my opinion, one of the reasons may be the lifestyle of the Spanish people. The Spanish people normally eat at home.

On the other hand, maybe McDonald’s hamburgers will eventually replace the famous Spanish tapas. It’s true that in every city in Spain you can find a McDonald’s, and it is more popular among the Spanish children than among the adults. In any case, it’s obvious that American culture is becoming more and more a part of our lives every day.

24. From the first paragraph we can know that ____.

A. the influence of America on Spain can be found everywhere

B. most Spanish people don’t like to listen to their own music

C. fast food spreads from Spain to the United States

D. some Spanish actors go to America to improve their acting skills

25. What plays an important part in the spreading of American culture in Spain?

A. American novels. B. Hollywood movies. C. McDonald’s. D. American music.

26. Why did the government set some rules for the films shown in Spain?

A. To protect foreign culture in Spain. B. To earn more money from Spanish films.

C. To limit the number of American movies. D. To unite the European Community.

27. Why does the author think that McDonald’s is not as successful as it is in other countries?

A. Its fast food contains too much fat. B. He thinks it is unhealthy.

C. Spanish people seldom eat out. D. Spanish adults don’t like its fast food.

28. What do you think Spanish tapas might be?

A. The name of a drink. B. The name of a restaurant.C. A clothing brand. D. A certain kind of food.

C

Make the most of college

Dear Daughter,

As we drove off from Columbia, I wanted to write a letter to you to tell you all that is on my mind.

First, I want to tell you how proud we are. Getting into Columbia is a real testament of what a great well-rounded student you are. You should be as proud of yourself as we are.

Your college years will be the most important of your life. It is in college that you will discover what learning is about. This will be the period where you go from teacher-taught to master-inspired, after which you must become self-learner. So do take each subject seriously, and even if what you learn isn’t critical for your life, the learning skills you acquire will be something you will cherish forever.

Follow your passion in college. Take courses you think you will enjoy. Don’t be trapped by what others think or say, but make up your own mind.

Most importantly, make friends and be happy. College friends are often the best in life. Pick a few friends and become really close to them – pick the ones who are genuine to you. Don’t worry about their hobbies, grades, looks or even personalities.

Start planning early – what would you like to do? Where would you like to live? What would you like to learn? I think your plan to study fashion is good, and you should decide where you want to be, and get onto the right courses.

Whether it is summer-planning, or coursework planning, or picking a major, or managing your time, you should take control of your life. I will always be there for you, but the time has come for you to be in the driver’s seat – this is your life, and you need to be in control. Being in control feels great. Try it, and you’ll love it!

College is the four years where you have:

The greatest amount of free time

the first chance to be independent

the most flexibility（灵活性） to change

the lowest risk for making mistakes

So please treasure your college years – make the best of your free time, become an independent thinker in control of your destiny, be bold to experiment, learn and grow through your successes and challenges.

May your years at Columbia be the happiest of your life, and may you blossom into just what you dream to be.

Love,

Dad (&Mom)

29. What does the author think college life prepares for his daughter?______

A. Uncertainty B. Pure enjoyment. C. Successes and challenges. D. Exp
