第二节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）

Do you know some people who just have all the luck? They seem to get all the 36 and you ask yourself: “Why don’t I get 37 ? Why don’t I get a great education?” But the real reason why most people are successful or lucky is that they’ve learned how to 38 themselves in a place so they can be lucky. They’ve learned how to, in a way, 39 their own luck!

I’m not 40 about dishonest or illegal ways. I’m talking about hard, 41 work. But successful people work smart. They keep improving and making the most of their abilities. Yet they also learn to 42 for help in things they themselves are not that good 43 doing. So we not only must make the most of our own special strengths, we must also learn our 44 and weaknesses.

A man recently got his lucky big break. Everyone said, “That guy’s so lucky!” But that man created his own luck 45 by arriving at the office early. He apologized and 46 when he was wrong. He even shared the credit and reward with others 47 he had done much of the work. He was never satisfied just to get 48 and do average work. He always 49 the extra effort to do his very best.

We have to work hard and do what it 50 to be on the way to luck and success when it comes. 51 , we’ll miss it because we aren’t ready. You never know when the right opportunity will come your way, and when the right, important person is watching your excellent 52 and work. That’s when you’ll get your lucky break! But when you put your life in Jesus Christ’s 53 , the right important person is always 54 you and all that you do. Then he will 55 and bless your life in many ways as you do your very best to please him in every thing every day.

36. A. qualifications B. occupations C. breaks D. licenses

37. A. comfortable B. lucky C. happy D. important

38. A. put B. pray C. send D. expect

39. A. control B. invent C. create D. meet

40. A. thinking B. teaching C. talking D. calling

41. A. practical B. honest C. meaningful D. adequate

42. A. trap B. appreciate C. charge D. ask

43. A. at B. with C. through D. from

44. A. pressures B. limits C. strengths D. abilities

45. A. always B. sometimes C. seldom D. never

46. A. admitted B. promised C. realized D. conveyed

47. A. because B. when C. so D. before

第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

A

I remember the first time that I was extremely happy, I was about 8 years old when for the first time, there was a computer in the classroom. I remember that my teacher allowed each student to take turns to play various educational games on the computer. One day, I found the source code for one of these games. Without knowing or being taught any programming language, I was able to figure out some of the BASIC code. I just gave myself a limitless number of lives in the game, so I could continue playing it forever. This was also my first introduction to algebra, and I didn’t even know it at the time. This was a decisive moment in my life. I was quite excited because of what I was learning and what I was able to do. As a result, I was enthusiastic for the rest of my life about self-learning and computers, and I was quite happy doing them too.

I’ve noticed that people who are truly content with life are enthusiastic about what they do. This enthusiasm, along with good health, is the key to being happy. It also leads to self-confidence and content in life too. It may also lead to success, wealth and achievements.

Success, wealth or achievements can also bring some people happiness, yet I know plenty of rich people who are unhappy. I know many people with successful businesses that are not happy with what they are doing. I know people who continuously buy themselves new toys, such as cars, computers, and televisions, yet never seem content for too long. Please remember, happiness is the journey of life, not the destination.

56. What can we know from Paragraph 1?

A. The author has a great talent for algebra.

B. Creative thinking is necessary for every child.

C. The BASIC code of the computer is not difficult.

D. The author’s experience in his childhood changed his life.

57. The author wants to tell us through the first paragraph that____.

A. interest is the best teacher B. children are the hope of the future

C. young people are fearless D. where there’s a will , there’s a way

58. What is the secret of happiness in the author’s opinion?

A. Success and wealth. B. Gifts and self-confidence.

C. Enthusiasm and good health. D. Knowledge and achievements.

59. We can infer from the last paragraph that ______.

A. rich people generally feel unhappy

B. wealth can’t bring people any happiness

C. one will feel unhappy once he has gained all the things he wants

D. being enthusiastic about what you are doing is more important than wealth

Dear Ms Rogers,

As I’m sure you are aware, our company has been organizing conventions, festivals, and other large corporate（公司的）events for the last fifteen years. We have relied on your company for purchase and rental supplies of high--quality furniture for that entire period, and we’ve never had any cause for complaints with regard to your services.

I am writing to you personally to ask a special favor. We recently made an order with your company for the supply of rental furniture that includes chairs, tables, and partitions（隔板）for an auto show （see order No. 11—35698A）. Unfortunately, a serious error was made. In fact the show begins one week earlier than indicated on the order form. The starting date is actually July 7. I would appreciate it very much if you could try to do everything you can to ensure that our order be delivered to us on that date. Also, if possible, I’d like to add 20 Pop-up displays on top of our original order.

Please contact me soon.

Yours sincerely

Michael Robinson

Dear Mr Robinson,

Thank you for your letter. I was surprised and of course concerned that you find yourself in this unfortunate situation. And of course I will do my best to help you.

Anyway, I personally look a trip down to our warehouse this morning to have a closer look at our stock to see if we have all the things you need for your convention—which I believe is from July 7 to July 14. I am happy to say that we will be able to provide you with everything you originally requested. However, as for the additional request you made, it won’t be possible because we have already rented them out to another client during that week.

Kind regards,

Suzanne Rogers
