    　　Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers advised. "Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience." How right they were!

    　　 "Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm." wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste that helps you hang on there when the things get tough. It is the inner voice that whispers "I can do it!" when others shout. "No, you can't!" It took years and years for the early work of Barbara Mclintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she didn't stop working on her experiments.

    　　We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder and it is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such youthful air, whatever their age. At 90, cellist Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach. As the music flowed through his fingers, his stooped shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes. As author and poet Samuel Ulman once wrote, "Years wrinkly the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul."

    　　Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money or title or power. Patricia Mellratl, retired director of the Missouri Repertory Theater in Kansas City, was once asked where she got her enthusiasm. She replied, "My father, long ago, told me, I never made a dime (一角硬币) until I stopped working for money."

    　　We can't afford to waste tears on "might-have-been". We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after "what-can-be". We need to live each moment wholeheartedly, with all our senses finding pleasure in the sweet smell of a backyard garden, the simple picture of a six- year-old, the beauty of a rainbow.

    (1) What is the passage mainly talking about?

    [　　]

    A．Enthusiasm is more important than experience.

    B．Enthusiasm can give people more success and fame.

    C．Enthusiastic people will never get old.

    D．Enthusiasm can make you succeed and enjoy life.

    (2) The author mentions Pablo Casals in the third paragraph to show that ________.

    [　　]

    A．enthusiasm can make people feel young

    B．music can arouse people's enthusiasm

    C．enthusiasm can give people inspiration needed to succeed

    D．enthusiasm can keep people healthy

    (3) How many figures are referred in the passage to show the importance of enthusiasm?

    [　　]

    A．Three.
    B．Four.
    C．Five.
    D．Six.

    (4) Which proverb may the writer agree with according to the last paragraph?

    [　　]

    A．A good beginning makes a good ending.

    B．Don't cry over the spoiled milk.

    C．Love me, love my dog.

    D．All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

    答案：D;A;C;B
    解析：

    (1) 主旨大意题。本文通过列举作者找工作的例子以及一些伟人成功的例子，告诉读者激情能够帮助人们走向成功，引导人们享受生活。

    (2) 推理判断题。第三段首句为本段的中心句，旨在说明热情能够使人们的心灵永葆青春。下面的Pablo Casals和Samuel Ulman的例子都是为了证明这一观点。

    (3) 细节理解题。文中提到的用来证明激情的重要性的人物有：Ralph Waldo Emerson, Barbara Mclintock, Pablo Casals, Samuel Ulman和Patricia Mellratl，故选C。

    (4) 推理判断题。最后一段作者告诉读者不要为过去没有做好的事情而黯然神伤，应化悲伤为力量，努力向目标迈进。Don't cry over the spoiled milk意为"不要为打翻的牛奶而哭泣"，符合作者的写作意图。

    　　As part of its ongoing effort to enlist children as the guardians(one who guards)of the future in the fight to save the earth’s environment, the United Nations ecological agency has announced its annual painting competition on the theme of deserts and desertification(沙漠化)．

    　　“Children are an important part of our world．They are our future and often they are our conscience．”Klaus Toepfer, Executive Director of the UN Environmental Program(UNEP)said．

    　　“Our children provide the inspiration, the enthusiasm and the idealism that this world needs．They know something needs to be done and we must listen to them．One way in which we can listen to them is by giving them the opportunity to express themselves in art－and by taking their art seriously．”

    　　The International Painting Competition on the Environment is part of UNEP’s program for children and youth entitled Tunza, which means to treat with care and respect in Swahili．

    　　Besides UNEP, the competition is supported by the Japan-based Foundation for Global Peace and Environment(FGPE), Bayer AG and the Nikon Corporation．It has been held annually since 1990 and in that time has received over 160,000 entries from children in over 100 countries．

    　　The theme of this year’s Competition, Deserts and Desertification ,is also the theme of the 2006 International Year as well as World Environment Day of that year．

    　　April 6, 2005 BERLIN-It has led to numerous expeditions, several mysterious deaths and plenty of books．But 60 years after Nazi officers hid metal boxes in the depths of Lake Toplitz, a new attempt is being made to recover the Third Reich's fabled(传说中的)lost gold．The Austrian government has given a U．S．team permission to make an underwater expedition to the bottom of the lake．

    　　Groups of treasure hunters have been racing to Lake Toplitz ever since a group of diehard Nazis escaped to this picturesque part of the Austrian Alps in the final months of the Second World War．With U．S．troops closing in and Germany on the edge of collapse(垮台), they shipped the boxes to the bank of the lake, and sunk them．

    　　Nobody knows exactly what was inside．Some believe the boxes contained gold stolen by German troops throughout Europe and carried back to Germany．Others think that they contained documents showing where possessions confiscated(没收)from Jewish victims were hidden．The state company that controls the lake, Bundesforste AG, has signed a contract with Norman Scott, an American treasure hunter, who hopes to solve the mystery．

    　　Later this month, Scott will begin a detailed underwater expedition of the 350-foot-deep lake, though there is official doubt that there is anything left to find．“I really don't know if there is anything down there, but we want to resolve the mystery once and for all,”Irwin Klissenbauer, a director of Bundesforste AG, told the Guardian Tuesday．“The aim at first is to measure the lake．”He added：“This is a beautiful area．You have heard of Loch Ness．For Austrians this has been a bit like Loch Ness．Lots of people come here．And whether there is gold down there or not, the mystery has been very good for tourism．”

    　　Klissenbauer said that under the terms of the deal--which allows the U．S．team to dive for the next three years-any treasure found will be divided between the Americans and the Austrian state．“Obviously if they recover anything which has a recognizable owner, under Austrian law we have to give it back．”
