It was December 22. The cold wind swept the countless snowflakes(雪花) across my front yard. My dad was there sweeping the  36  . His nose was __37___as a cherry. With every breath he took, a white puff(水氣) ran into the air.

My mum came in, looking solemn(凝重). She turned   52  the overhead light, put the  53  in my arm and took me out of the back door. A totally  54  feeling filled my heart. For the first time in my life ,I wondered what  55  would be to me tomorrow.

When something goes wrong,it can be very satisfying to say,”Well,it’s so-and-so’s fault.”or “I know I’m late,but it’s not my fault;the car broke down.”It is probably not your fault,but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation,you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However,you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.
Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you  need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame  the person. Ask to work with a different person, or  don’t rely on the person. You should accept that the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails  to do his job well.
This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stop on for success.
1. According to the passage, winners__________
A. deal with problems rather than blame others
B. meet with fewer difficulties in their lives
C. have responsible and able colleagues
D. blame themselves rather that others
2.The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to__________.
A. avoid                B. accept               C. improve                  D. consider
3.When your colleague brings about a problem, you should__________.
A. find a better way to handle the problem
B. blame him for his lack of responsibility
C. tell him to find the cause of the problem
D. ask a more able colleague for help
4. When problems occur, winners take them as__________
A. excuses for their failures
B. barriers to greater power
C. challenges to their colleagues
D.chances for self-development
5. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. A Winner’s Secret.                               B. A Winner’s Problem.
C. A Winner’s Opportunity.                       D. A Winner’s Achievement.

Today, among people everywhere, there is an increasing awareness and worry about the steady growth in the world’s population.A recent survey conducted by the United Nations Fund for Population Activities (UNFPA) reported that this growth will continue until the end of the next century.For developing countries alone, the annual average population growth is, at present, 4.6% compared to 2.0% for developed countries.At this rate, the world’s population will reach 10.2 billion by the turn of the 21st century.With the growth in population is the problem of food security… the guarantee of a steady supply of food.The unstoppable growth in population justifies the Malthusian Doctrine that population of a region will continue to grow unless checked, and this is of course alarming since it will inevitably lead to food shortages of considerable proportions.
Our forests are an abundant source of food and fuel, two items essential in sustaining life.Above 30% of the world’s land surface is covered by such forests.In Asia alone, more than two billion people depend heavily on forest products for their subsistence and survival.To maintain a reasonable balance between population growth and food supply, this natural source of life — sustaining food and fuel must be conserved and protected from its worst enemy — man himself.It is appalling (令人震驚的) to note that in many developing countries, which are themselves heavily hit by population-food imbalance, governments approve the cutting down of forests to meet their immediate needs for saleable timber, and also for agricultural land.Often the cutting down and burning of forests is conducted with total abandon owing to the absence of sound forestry techniques and management.At the rate tropical forests are now being cleared each year, the world’s tropical forests will be completely destroyed within the next 100 years.
In order to maintain food security for the world’s population, the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has launched a campaign aimed at ensuring food supply, maximizing stability in the flow of this supply and ensuring access to it by all.Forestry, according to the FAO, plays a vital role in making it possible to fulfill all its three objectives.Its most important role is that of conserving soil and water.Trees provide natural protection against soil erosion (侵蝕) by absorbing the excess water brought by heavy rains.
1.The first paragraph tells us that ____.
A.the flow of food supply is the result of population increase.
B.the world population has reached the 10-billion mark.
C.the problem of population growth has caused considerable alarm in a few countries.
D.the problem of food supply goes hand-in-hand with population increase.
2.The Malthusian Doctrine presents ____ as far as world population is concerned.
A.a(chǎn)n optimistic view of the future     B.a(chǎn) pessimistic outlook for the future
C.a(chǎn)n encouraging picture          D.a(chǎn)n indifferent picture
3.In this context, “this natural source of life — sustaining food and fuel” (in Paragraph 2) refers to ____.
A.the flow of food supply           B.forests
C.woodland products               D.man’s worst enemy
4.The three objectives of the FAO can be replaced by ____.
A.stopping population growth       B.increasing food production
C.a(chǎn)chieving food security          D.ensuring maximum utilization of forests

The boy's mouth dropped open but he made no answer, sitting there with his mouth hanging open, wide-eyed.So the clergyman repeated the question in an even stricter tone "Where is God?"

  Decision-thinking is not unlike. It often matters not only what you think, but also what others think you think and what you think they think you think. The mental process(過程) is similar. Naturally, this card game has often been of considerable interest to people who are, by any standards, good thinkers.
  The great mathematician John von Neumann was one of the founders of game theory. In particular, he showed that all games fall into two classes; there are what he called games of 'perfect information', games like chess where the players can't hide anything or play tricks; they don't win by chance, but by means of logic and skills. Then there are games of 'imperfect information', like poker, in which it is impossible to know in advance that one course of action is better than another.
  One mistaken idea about business is that it can be treated as a game of perfect information. Quite the reverse, business and life itself are games which we must normally play with very imperfect information. Business decisions are often made with many unknown and unknowable factors(因素), as best poker players. But few business people find it comfortable to admit that they are taking a chance, and many still prefer to believe that they are playing chess, not poker.
49.The subject discussed in this text is _________.
  A.the process of reaching decisions
  B.the difference between poker and chess.
  C.the secret of making good business plans
  D.the value of information in winning games
50.An important factor in a game of imperfect information is ___________.
  A.rules               B.luck         C.time               D.ideas
51.Which of the following can be used in place of "Quite the reverse"?
  A.Quite right.                   B.True enough.
  C.Most unlikely.                      D.Just the opposite.
52.In the writer's opinion, when making business decisions one should ___________ .
  A.put perfect information before imperfect information
  B.a(chǎn)ccept the existence of unknown factors
  C.regard business as a game of chess
  D.mix known and unknown factors

It is love that makes the world go round. And it is also love that has such power to overcome all difficulties. So we say: “Love will find a way.” As smile is a facial expression showing pleasure, affection, and friendliness, it is the commonest way to show our good will perfectly without saying anything. A Chinese saying runs: “never hit a person who is smiling at you.” It is a time-proven fact that the smile is a language all its own— a universal language—understood by the people of every nation in the world. We may not speak the same tongue as our foreign neighbors, but we smile in the same tongue. We need no interpreter for thus expressing love, happiness, or good will.
One day while shopping in a small town in southern California, it was my misfortune to be approached by a clerk whose personality contradicted mine. He seemed most unfriendly and not at all concerned about my intended purchase. I bought nothing, and marched angrily out of the store. My anger toward that grew with each step. Outside, standing at the corner, was a dark-complexion young man in his early twenties. His expressive brown eyes met and held mine, and in the next instant a beautiful, dazzling smile covered his face. I gave in immediately. The magnetic power of that shining smile drove away all bitterness within me, and I found the muscles in my own face happily responding. “Beautiful day, isn’t it?” I remarked, in passing. The, suddenly something inside me sent me turning back. “I really owe you a debt of gratitude,” I said softly. His smile deepened, but he made no attempt to answer. A Mexican woman and two men were standing nearby. The woman stepped forward and eyed me inquiringly. “Carlos, he no speak English,” she volunteered. “You want I should tell him something?” In that moment I felt transformed. Carlos’ smile had made a big person of me. My friendliness and good will to ward all mankind stood ten feet tall. “Yes,” my reply was enthusiastic and sincere, “tell him I said ‘Thank you!’” “Thank you?” The woman seemed slightly puzzled. I gave her arm a friendly pat as I turned to leave. “Just tell him that,” I insisted. “He’ll understand. I am sure!” Oh, what a smile can do! Although I have never seen that young man again, I shall never forget the lesson he taught me that morning.
From that day on, I became smile – conscious, and I practice the diligently, anywhere and everywhere, with everybody. When I got excited in traffic, taking the right – of – way (公路用地) from the other car with my stupid mistake, I’d smile and shrug my shoulders apologetically. This action on my part would always draw a good – natured smile in return. If the other fellow was at fault – and if I could remember my resolution in time! – he’d get a broad smile of understanding. This took a bit of doing at first. I’ll admit it wasn’t always easy, but it was fun. The results were sometimes amazing. Many times, a broad, friendly smile would completely turn aside ill – feeling and tension. I’m wondering now how many tragic add dents could be avoided on our overcrowded highways, if every driver remembered to smile!
59.The author got angry while shopping one day because         .
A.of the clerk’s unfriendliness and lack of concern
B.of her misfortune
C.she failed to purchase what she intended
D.a(chǎn) dark – complexion young man laughed at her
60.From the conversation between the author and the Mexican woman, we can infer that the woman         .
A.was well – educated but unwilling to help others
B.was able to speak English
C.knew some English and was ready to help others
D.was familiar with the young man
61.In the author’s opinion, if all people remembered to smile when driving,         .
A.many traffic accidents could be avoided
B.they would receive a good natural smile in return
C.they could get a broad smile of understanding
D.they wouldn’t feel any tension
62.The best title for this passage could be          .
A.The Art of Smiling  B.The Universal Language
C.The Power of Love  D.The Magic Power of Friendship

For many years, scientists couldn't figure out how atoms and molecules on the Earth combined to make living things. Plants, fish, dinosaurs, and people are made of atoms and molecules, but they are put together in a more complicated way than the molecules in the primitive ocean. What's more, living things have energy and can reproduce, while the chemicals on the Earth 4 billion years ago were lifeless.
  After years of study, scientists figured out that living things, including human bodies, are basically made of amino acids and nucleotide bases. These are molecules with millions of hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, and oxygen atoms. How could such complicated molecules have been formed in the primitive soup? Scientists were stumped.
  Then, in 1953, two scientists named Harold Urey and Stanley L. Miller did a very simple experiment to find out what had happened on the Primitive Earth. They set up some tubes and bottles in a closed loop, and put in some of the same gases that were present in the atmosphere 4 billion years ago: water vapor, ammonia, carbon dioxide, methane, and hydrogen.
  Then they shot an electric spark through the gases to simulate bolts of lightning on the ancient Earth, circulated the gases through some water, sent them back for more sparks, and so on. After seven days, the water that the gases had been bubbling through had turned brown. Some new chemicals were dissolved in it. When Miller and Urey analyzed the liquid, they found that it contained amino acids-the very kind of molecules found in all living things.
61. When did scientists come to realize how the atoms and molecules on the Earth combined to make living thing?
  A. 4 billion years ago. B.1953. C. After seven days.D. Many years later.
62. Scientists figured out that human bodies are basically made of .
A.amino acids
B.molecules
C. hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen and oxygen atoms
D. water vapor, ammonia, carbon dioxide, methane and hydrogen
63. Harold Urey and Stanley L.Miller did their experiment in order to . 
A. find out what had happened on the Earth 4 billion years ago
   B.simulate bolts of lightning on the ancient Earth
   C. dissolve some new chemicals
  D.analyze a liquid
64. At the end of the last paragraph, the underlined word "it" refers to .
A. a closed loop   B. an electric spark   C.water   D. the liquid
65. According to the writer, living things on the Earth include .
