    A
    My friend Robert started a new job this week and he’s been in the training class for two days. The employer has a very strict dress code—dark blue shirts and pants.
    On the first day, an older gentleman in his class did not have the proper clothes and he was strictly told that he would be fired if he didn’t have the right clothes the next day. He explained, “Sir, I had not been told about this. Because of my larger size, it’s sometimes difficult to find the right clothing for a price I can afford.”
    Last night, Robert and I decided that this old man shouldn’t lose the chance of work simply because he couldn’t afford the clothes. I had some cash on hand and Robert took it with him this morning just in case it was needed.
    When training started this morning, the trainer was ready to fire the older gentleman. “You have 10 minutes to be in proper clothes,” he was told. At this point, Robert spoke up and asked if he could have 10 minutes to get him the clothes. He then ran out to the store and bought the proper-sized pants and a shirt; he returned with both and gave them to the older man.
    The older gentleman began to cry and told him that he couldn’t accept such a gift from a stranger. Robert told him he had to because he had lost the receipt(收据) and couldn’t return them—a little white lie. The pants were a perfect fit, the shirt was a bit tight but he was able to keep his job.
    “My wife and I tried to gather together some money last night, but we didn’t have enough to buy the clothes,” he told Robert. “It’s unbelievable to me that anybody would do such a thing for only knowing me a day!”
    More unbelievable is how good it has made Robert and me feel to do this.
    小题1:If the older man did not have the proper clothes, he would _____
    A．be punishedB．be offered another job
    C．put off the training classD．lose his job
    小题2: The money which was paid for the clothes belonged to _____
    A．the trainerB．the older man
    C．the writer D．Robert
    小题3:How did Robert persuade the older man to accept the clothes?
    A．He told the older man that he would lose his job if he did not take them.
    B．He told a lie that the clothes didn’t fit himself.
    C．He told the older man that he could save money and return it later.
    D．He told the older man that he had no way to send them back.
    小题4:What might be the best title for the passage?
    A．Proper clothes for a strangerB．Fight against strict rules
    C．A strange employerD．An unbelievable thing

    “Colour” and “color”, “favourite” and “favorite”···Have you ever wondered why Americans spell those words without a “u”? Is it because they are lazy?
    Of course not. In fact, the difference in spelling was created by Noah Webster (1758—1843). He is a teacher who reformed English to make American identity stronger. Linguists（语言学家） celebrated his 250th birthday on October 16. After the Revolutionary War(1775—1783), Webster believed that Americans should have their own dictionary, rather than rely on British versions（版本）. He dropped the British “u” in some words. And he changed “centre” into “center” for children to learn English by spelling words more like they sounded.
    Webster wasn’t shy about expressing his opinions. In defining（定义） preposterous, he wrote: “A republican government in the hands of females is preposterous.”
    Webster spent 28 years on the project before completing the 70,000-word dictionary in 1828 with his American-style spellings. He also added local words. His dictionary was widely used in schools. Linguists believed it helped a new nation achieve unity and cultural independence at a time when most were focused on political freedom.
    “He was the shaper of our language and the shaper of American identity,” said Joshua Kendall, who is working on a biography（传记） about Webster. “He at last bonded（联合） us through our language.”
    小题1:          According to the passage, when he worked on his dictionary, Noah Webster did all of the following EXCEPT______.
    A．dropping “u” in all the British words
    B．changing “centre” into “center”
    C．adding local words
    D．expressing his opinion.
    小题2:          When did Noah Webster probably begin his project of the dictionary?
    A．In 1758B．In 1783C．In 1800D．In 1828
    小题3:          Why did Noah Webster create these differences in his dictionary?
    A．Because he wanted to make English simple and easy.
    B．Because he wanted American English to have it own characteristics（特征）.
    C．Because he wanted to make American English the best in the world.
    D．Because he wanted to show that the USA is stronger than the UK.
    小题4:          Which of the following word can best describe Noah Webster’s work?
    A．InterestingB．BoringC．UnfinishedD．Meaningful
    小题5:          Which of the following would probably be the best title for the passage?
    A．Webster
    B．American identity
    C．The shaper of American English
    D．Spelling difference between American and British English.

    Bill Gates, the billionaire Microsoft chairman without a single earned university degree, is by his success raising new doubts about the worth of the business world’s favorite academic title: the MBA (Master of Business Administration).
    The MBA, a 20th century product, always has borne the mark of lowly commerce and greed on the tree-lined campuses ruled by purer disciplines such as philosophy and literature.
    But even with the recession(经济萎缩) apparently cutting down the hiring of business school graduates, about 79,000 people are expected to receive MBAs in 1993. This is nearly 16 times the number of business graduates in 1960.
    “If you are going into the corporate world it is still a disadvantage not to have one,” said Donald Morrison, professor of marketing and management science. “But in the last five years or so, when someone says, ‘Should I attempt to get an MBA?’ the answer a lot more is: It depends.”
    The success of Bill Gates and other non-MBAs, such as the late Sam Walton of Wal-Mart Stores Inc., has helped inspire self-conscious debates on business school campuses over the worth of a business degree and whether management skills can be taught.
    The Harvard Business Review printed a lively, fictional exchange of letters to dramatize complaints about business degree holders. The article called MBA hires “extremely disappointing” and said “MBAs want to move up too fast, they don’t understand politics and people, and they aren’t able to function as part of a team until their third year. But by then, they’re out looking for other jobs.”
    The problem, most participants in the debate acknowledge, is that the MBA has acquired an aura (光环) of future riches and power far beyond its actual importance and usefulness.
    Business people who have hired or worked with MBAs say those with the degrees of ten know how to analyze systems but are not so skillful at motivating people. “They don’t get a lot of grounding in the people side of the business”, said James Shaffer, vice-president and principal of the Towers Perrin management consulting firm.
    小题1:According to paragraph 2, what is the general attitude towards business on campuses ruled by purer disciplines?
    A．Envious(嫉妒的).B．Realistic.
    C．Scornful(蔑视的).D．Appreciative.
    小题2:. It seems that the argument over the value of MBA degrees had been fueled mainly by ___.
    A．the complaints from various employers
    B．the success of many non-MBAs
    C．the criticism from the scientists of purer disciplines
    D．the poor performance of MBAs at work
    小题3:. What is the major weakness of MBA holders according to the Harvard Business Review?
    A．They are usually self-centered.
    B．They are aggressive and greedy.
    C．They keep complaining about their jobs.
    D．They are not good at dealing with people.
    小题4:. From the passage we know that most MBAs ________.
    A．can climb the corporate ladder fairly quickly
    B．quit their jobs once they are familiar with their workmates
    C．receive salaries that do not match their professional training
    D．cherish unrealistic expectations about their future
    小题5: What is the passage mainly about?
    A．Why there is an increased enrollment in MBA programs.
    B．The necessity of reforming MBA programs in business schools.
    C．Doubts about the worth of holding an MBA degree.
    D．A debate held recently on university campuses.

    Girls are born to imagine, particularly those at the age of seventeen or eighteen.   16 , I was one of them and sometimes I would go to extremes. That was exactly what happened several days ago, causing me great embarrassment.
    I was waiting for my train home at the station when a boy   17  at my side. His beautifully-curved face, his fashionable clothing and everything else about him, was so  18  that I just couldn’t help gazing (注视) at him. What was more   19  was that, he was also stealing some   20  at me, which made me blush (脸红) to the ends of my ears! Still, I tried to be calm and   21  that nothing had happened. However, once again when our eyes met, I could hear my heart   22  wildly, with an inner voice yelling, “Oh, my goodness, he is driving me   23 !” Shortly, I lowered my head to   24  his eyes, but my thoroughly red face had revealed (泄露) 25 .
    To my pleasant surprise, my   26  came true this time, as the handsome guy was drawing

You know I will give it to you without   30 , and that is so unladylike!” I was still struggling and trembling when he   31  right in front of me. “Excuse me...” he said with a slight hesitation. His voice was so nice, but I wish I had not   32  it, for in the end, he said: “I am sorry, but could you please give me my   33  back? Yours is over there.” Oh, my God! Nothing could have been more   34  when I handed his bag back to him, as shame almost brought me to tears.
    From that, I drew a big   35 : never imagine too much if someone gives you a few glances.

    When most people turn 21, they spend too much time partying and having fun. But when Adele turned 21, she did something completely different.
    After going through a tough breakup(分手), the British singer turned her pain into glory and recorded one of the most moving albums of the year.
    The album, 21, which was released in January, has already hit the charts in 14 countries, according to the Billboard magazine.
    It also noted that Adele made history as the first artist since the Beatles to have two top five singles and two top five albums in the charts at the same time (Adele’s first album, 19, was released in 2008. Each album is named for her age when she wrote it).
    Now, after touring around the world for almost a year, the DVD of her live concert, released on November 29, is Adele’s latest work.
    Having topped the pre-order list of Amazon. com for over a month already, this one seems set to stay on top for a while.
    Born in north London, Adele sang her way up honestly:  In 2006, she was signed by England’s XL Recordings on the strength of (基于)a three-song demo(样本唱片) a friend of hers had posted on MySpace;within two years she had won the BRIT Awards ‘Critics’ Choice prize and been tipped by the BBC as the “Sound of 2008”.
    In 2009 she got the best new artist Grammy Award, and went on a world tour in support of the album 19 with a sold-out show in Los Angeles.
    According to Adele herself, much of the inspiration of her music comes from one single breakup.
    That’s probably what has made the singer’s success-that emotional certitude(确信), according to Dickins.
    “The key to great singers is believing every single word they sing, ” he said. “And I think you believe every word that comes out of Adele’s mouth. You can feel her life force through her voice. ”
    小题1:When she wrote album 19, she is at the age of______.
    A．21B．18C．20D．19
    小题2:How many awards did Adele get?
    A．One.B．Two.C．Three.D．Four.
    小题3:The underlined word “released” can be best replaced by ______.
    A．recordedB．came out
