    "I can （46）B my money worries in an instant!"he realized．But （47）A，he decided to put the uncashed check in his safe．Just knowing it was there might give him the （48）D to work out a way to save his business，he thought．
    With renewed （49）C，he negotiated better deals．Within a few months，he was out of debt and making money once again．
    Exactly one year later，he returned to the （50）D with the uncashed check．At the （51）B time，the old man appeared．But just as the businessman was about to （52）A the check and share his success story，a（53）C came running up and grabbed the old man．
    "I'm so delighted I （54）D him!"she cried．"I hope he hasn't been bothering you．He's（55）C escaping from the rest home and telling people he's John D．Rockefeller．"
    And she led the old man away （56）C the arm．
    The businessman just stood there，（57）B．All year long he'd been buying and selling，（58）A he had half a million dollars behind him．
    Suddenly，he realized that it wasn't the money，real or （59）B，that had turned his life around．It was his （60）D self-confidence that gave him the power to achieve anything he went after．

    17．You feel strange about it，but characters in novels don't always do what the writer wants them to do．Sometimes they cause trouble，take on lives of their own，or even work against the writer．It's not just a problem for inexperienced authors：famed children's novelist Roald Dahl said he got the main character in his book Matilda so"wrong"that when he'd finished his first version，he threw it away and started again．
    Of course it's not the characters'fault．The problem lies with the author，who often creates works according his own experiences．Take Stephen King，who admitted that it is more difficult for him to write characters like Carrie nowadays because his own circumstances have changed．"It is definitely harder，"King said，"When I wrote Carrie many years ago．I was only one step away from physical labor．"
    This is also true for characters'ages，added King．"When you have small children，I t is easy to write young characters because you observe them and you have them in your life all the time．But your kids grow up．It's been harden for me to write about this little 12-year-old girl in my new book because my models are gone．"
    For other authors，such as Karen Fowler，there's one quality that can stop a character in its tracks：boredom．"I had particular problems with the main character in my historical novel Sister Noon，"she says．"She had attitudes about race and religion that seemed appropriate to me for here time and class，but they were not attitudes I liked．Eventually I grew quite bored with her．You can write a book about a character you dislike or a character you disagree with，but I don't think you can write a book about a character who bores you．"
    According to Neel Mukherjee，it was Adinath，a character in The Lives of Others，who made him work the hardest．"I think struggled because it's difficult to write a character whose most prominent personal feature is weakness，as Adinath's is，without making that feature define him，"Mukherjee says．But a troublesome character is far from an unwelcome guest，he continues，arguing that"when characters work against the author they come alive and become unpredictable．""That sometimes happens，"Mukherjee says，"I celebrate it．"

    33．What can we infer about Stephen King's book Carrie？D
    A．It was his most difficult book to write．
    B．It was the first successful novel King wrote．
    C．There were few children featured in the story．
    D．Some of its main characters were working class．
    34．Why did Karen Fowler have trouble writing the main character in her novel Sister Noon？C
    A．She disagreed with the character's attitudes．
    B．The age difference between the two was too large．
    C．She found the character very uninteresting．
    D．The historical setting made accuracy difficult．
    35．What does Neel Mukherjee think of h is difficult-to-write characters？B
    A．They bear the personal feature of weakness．
    B．They are what the author treasures in writing．
    C．They are often troublesome and unwelcome．
    D．They are unpredictable and hard to define．

    4．Learning a foreign language changes the way we see the world，according to new research．
    Panos Athanasopoulos，of Newcastle University，has found that bilingual speakers think differently to those who only use one language．
    Working with both Japanese and English speakers，he looked at their language use，along with the length of time they had been in the country，and matched this against how they perceived（感知） the colour blue．
    Previous research has shown that colour perception is an ideal way of testing bilingual concepts because there is a huge variation between where different languages place boundaries on the colour spectrum（色谱）．
    In Japanese，for example，there are additional basic terms for light blue（mizuiro） and blue（ao），which are not found in English．
    "We found that people who only speak Japanese distinguished more between light and dark blue than English speakers，"said Dr Athanasopoulos．"The degree to which Japanese-English bilinguals resembled either type depended on which of their two languages they used more frequently．"
    Most people tend to focus on how to do things such as ordering food or using public transport when they learn another language to help them get by，but this research has shown that there is a much deeper connection going on．
    "As well as learning vocabulary and grammar you're also unconsciously learning a new way of seeing the world，"said Dr Athanasopoulos．"There's a close link between language and culture．If you're learning language in a classroom you are trying to achieve something specific，but when you're immersed（沉浸）in the culture and speaking it，you're thinking in a completely different way．"

    32．What can we learn about bilingual speakers？D
    A．They live abroad．
    B．They speak Japanese．
    C．They speak English．
    D．They can use two languages．
    33．The terms for light blue and dark blue are not found in English mainly becauseC．
    A．English speakers don't like the color blue
    B．English speakers can hardly perceive the color blue
    C．the two colours make little difference to English speakers
    D．the two colours are not so important to English speakers
    34．What does the underlined part"a much deeper connection''in Paragraph 6 refer to？A
    A．A new culture．
    B．Vocabulary and grammar．
    C．Learning language in a classroom．
    D．A new way to learn another language
    35．The conclusion of the new research is that foreign language learning makes a personA．
    A．see the world in a different way
    B．1earn a language in a different way
    C．pay more attention to culture
    D．perceive colours differently．

    14．When I first started university，I remembered hearing about bone marrow（骨髓）donation during Freshman's Week．Some students volunteers from a group called Marrow tried to convince me to attend an event so I could learn more about it．The word"bone"immediately made me think that donating would be a painful procedure，so I refused． Back then，there was no way I could have known three years later，I would be one of the many people that desperately needs a bone marrow donor to save their lives．
        I am currently waiting to be matched with a donor and if I am lucky enough to find a good match，it will be this lovely stranger that saves my life．I received my cancer diagnosis in June．It is only at that time that I realized how ignorant I had been about the bone marrow donation process．
        The process of donating stem cells is actually very simple．In 90% of cases，donors are asked to donate their blood stem cells，the other 10% will give their bone marrow．Lots of donors say that both these things are virtually pain free，and nothing to be scared about．Being a bone marrow donor should be something to be proud of，as every donor has an opportunity to save someone's life!
        At the moment I know that the doctors are busy searching for a match，I simply live every day in the hope that there will be a donor right for me．If I have an opportunity for life，I won't waste it．
        When I was a first year at university，I made the mistake of walking away from becoming a stem cell donor．Please don't make the same mistake that I did．There are so many people out there，including myself，that need your help； and by undergoing a simple，pain-free procedure，you could have the chance to proudly say that you saved someone's life．

    24．Why did the author refuse to learn more about bone marrow donation before？B
    A．Because she could get nothing from it．
    B．Because she thought that donating would be painful．
    C．Because she had known nothing about it．
    D．Because she was in poor health．
    25．What can we learn from the underlined sentence in paragraph 1？C
    A．The author was concerned about others．
    B．The author was confident about the bone marrow donation．
    C．The author needs the bone marrow donation now．
    D．The author donates her bone marrow to save others．
    26．The author needs the bone marrow because she gotA
    A．cancer         B．headache           C．flu           D．high blood pressure
    27．The author told us her story toD
    A．show us the experience of her college life．
    B．explain the cause of her cancer．
    C．recall her painful past．
    D．encourage people to be a bone marrow donor．
