The world is filled with talented people. A few days ago, my car was not running well. I drove it into a garage(修车厂), and the young mechanic had my car 21 in just a few minutes. What 22 me most was that he knew what was wrong by simply listening to its 23 .

But I am 24 shocked at how little money those talented people earn. Once a business consultant(顾问) in the 25 trade told me so many doctors and dentists are struggling 26 , which surprised me so much because I used to think that after they graduated, the 27 would pour in. The business consultant then gave me the phrase, “They’re some skills away from great wealth.” It means that most people need to learn and 28 some skills of money management before their income increases 29 . Unfortunately, schools 30 consider developing students’ financial intelligence(财务智商) as intelligence, and after graduation, most people just work hard to pay their 31 .

When asked“How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald’s?”, almost all my students raised their hands. I then asked, “So, why does McDonald’s make more money than you?” Without doubt, the answer is 32 : McDonald’s is excellent at business systems. The reason why so many talented people are poor is that they focus on building a good hamburger, but know little or nothing about business systems. So this world is filled with talented but 33 people. Too often, they struggle financially or earn less than they are 34 of, because they just focus on 35 their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger.

第一节 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

After a terrible car accident, the whole world had been completely dark and quiet for Robert Edwards for almost ten years, for he became both blind and deaf. The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such a sorrow that he tried several times to put an end to his life.

His wife did her best to tend and comfort him. By and by he finally regained the courage to live on.

On a hot summer afternoon, he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once. He stood under a large tree in order not to get himself wet. Unfortunately he was struck down by a lightning. The witnesses thought him dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water below the tree. He felt that he was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he didn’t dare to believe that he saw a plough（犁）lying near the wall. When Mrs. Edwards came running up to him, she shouted for help. He saw her and heard her voice for the first time in nearly 10 years.

The news of Robert’s regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread. Many doctors came to prove the truth of the news. Most of them said that he gained sight and hearing again obviously from the knock of lightning; none of them could give convincing reasons，however. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since Edwards lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock in a terrible accident, perhaps the only way for them to regain was by another sudden shock.

46. What was Edwards doing when he was struck by the lightning？

A. He was taking a walk with a stick near his house.

B. He was hiding from the rain under a tree.

C. He was lying on the ground in the muddy water.

D. He was trembling badly on the ground.

47. Which of the following is NOT true？

A. Edwards had been blind and deaf for nearly ten years.

B. Edwards woke up with his face in the mud.

C. Doctors held the belief that Edwards was never really blind or deaf.

D. Edwards lost all his senses for about 20 minutes after the lightning had struck him down.

48. What did Edwards see first after being struck down by the lightning？

A. His wife B. The larger tree C. A plough D. The lightning itself

49. How did Edwards get his sight and hearing once more according to the doctor？

A. He regained them from a head injury when he fell from a tree.

B. His wife’s first visit after almost ten years made him so happy that he regained them.

C. The lightning took the feeling from his legs and gave the senses of sight and hearing to his head.

D. The blow that made him blind and deaf was very severe, so it took another severe blow to regain them.

50. What’s the best title for the passage?

A. Every coin has two sides B. Regaining the long-lost sight and hearing

C. A splendid thunderstorm D. A thunderstorm in need

B

First aid means what it says: the aid, or help that can be given to an injured person first which is before any other help. Usually the first thing we should do if a serious accident happens is to telephone for an ambulance, but sometimes quick actions by us may save someone’s1ife.

Shock: people often suffer from shock after receiving an injury. The face turns grey, and the skin becomes damp and cold. They breathe quickly. They should be kept warm. Cover them with a blanket and give them a warm drink.

Broken Bones: Don’t move the person. Send for an ambulance at once.
