I called him several times, but each time his secretary told me that he was in a meeting and that he would cal
23、l me later. So I waited and waited, but there was still no call. Three hours passing by, I became more and more impatient. I was certain that my agent didnt care about my work, and he didnt care about me. I was overcome with that thought. I started to shout at the phone, “Let me wait, will you? Who
24、do you think you are?”At that time I didnt realize my wife was looking on. Without showing her surprise, she rushed in, seized the phone, tore off the wires, and shouted at the phone, “Yeah!

25、ing her, speechless .What on earth?She stepped to the doorway and shouted at the rest of the house, “Now hear this!

If you have a wireless router, a device that spreads the broadband connection to other devices, you can set up a Wi-
30、Fi network, which enables your cellphones and tablets go online too. And when you are outdoors where there is no Wi-Fi, such as in the park or at the beach, having 3G service allows you to stay connected. It seems that lots of us have Internet coverage everywhere we go. So why have mobile companies
31、around the world lately been so enthusiastic about a new term, “4G”? First, you need to know that the letter “G” stands for “generation”. Even if you have no idea what 4G is, at least you can figure out that it is a step up from 3G since its the latest generation of mobile Internet service. Unlike b
32、roadband, mobile Internet uses the same signal towers that provide voice service to your cellphone, which means wherever you can make phone calls with your cellphone you also have an Internet connection. But mobile connections have their defects they dont carry as much information as broadband does,
33、 making opening websites and downloading music slower than they are on a Wi-Fi connection. This is why mobile connections have been constantly upgraded since the first generation was launched back in the 1980s. According to BBC, 4G is five to seven times faster than current 3G network speeds, almost
34、 as fast as home broadband. Because of this, 4G is widely suited for services like video downloading, mapping, online shopping and even video conferencing. To achieve the high speeds, network companies have to spend a lot of money on building new signal towers, which will eventually lead to a higher
35、 phone bill if you switch to 4G, and you will also have to get a new phone with 4G capacity.39. What is paragraph 1 mainly about?A. The development of Wi-Fi. B. Various ways to get access to the Internet.C. The influences of the Internet on our life. D. The convenience of using cellphones.40. The un

It provides good service at a higher price.DThere are many ways of defining success. It is accurate to say that each of us has our own ide
38、as of success to the extent that each of us is responsible for setting our own goals and determining whether we have met these goals satisfactorily. Because each of us possesses unique differences in genetic ability and favorable environments in which to express these abilities, it is necessarily tr
39、ue that we must define success broadly.For some people，simply being able to live their life with the least misery and sufferings is considered a success. Think of the peace of mind of the poor shepherd who tends his sheep, enjoys his simple life with his family in the beauty of nature, and who is re
40、spected because he does a good job of achieving the goals expected of him and accepted by his family and his society. On the other hand, it seems that even though some people appear to be rich in material possessions, many of them seem to be miserable and consider themselves unsuccessful when judged
41、 by their own standards of success. Because not all ventures can be successful, one should not set unrealistic goals for achieving success, but if one has self-confidence it would be unfortunate to set ones goals at too low a level of achievement.A wise man once said to a young man who was experienc
42、ing frustration (挫折）with his own professional success, “You do not have to set your goal to reach the moon in order to have success in traveling. Sometimes one can be very successful merely by taking a walk in the park or riding the subway downtown,” The man added, You have not really failed and spo
43、iled your chances for success until you have been unsuccessful at something you really like，and to which you have given your best effort. ”43. According to the first paragraph, what is implied as basic in achieving success? A. Ability and goals.B. Goals and determination. C. Ability and environment.

A. their life is busy and miserable B. they havent reached their own standards C. they set their goals at too low a level D. they are not rich in material possessions 45. From the last paragraph we can tell th
45、at _. A. success means achieving great goals B. success comes from great goal setting C. success means efforts and favorites pay off D. success has nothing to do with the distance of your travel 46. The purpose of the passage is _. A. to give us a clear definition of what success is B. to talk about
46、 how to achieve success C. to state what our life goal is D. to discuss the importance of goalsEA recent study, while showing a generally positive attitude toward science, also suggests a widespread worry that it may be “running out of control”. This idea is dangerous.Science can be a force for evil
47、 as well as for good. Its applications can be channeled either way, depending on our decisions. The decisions we make, personally or collectively, will determine the outcomes of science. But here is a real danger. Science is advancing so fast and is so strongly influenced by businesses that we are l
48、ikely to believe whatever decisions we come to will make little difference. And, rather than fighting for the best possible policies, we may step back and do nothing.Some people go even further. They say that despite the moral and legal objections, whatever is scientifically possible will be done-so
49、mewhere, sometime. They believe that science will get out of control in the end. This belief is dangerous too, because it fuels a sense of hopelessness and discourages them from making efforts to build a safer world.In our interconnected world, the lack of agreement in and out of the world of scienc
50、e can lead to the failure to control the use of science. Without a common understanding, the challenges of “controlling” science in this century will be really tough. Take human cloning for example. Despite the general agreement among scientists on its possible huge impact(影响) on traditional moral v
51、alues, some countries still go ahead with the research and development of its related techniques. The outcomes are hard to predict.Therefore, discussions on how science is applied should be extended far beyond scientific societies. Only through the untied efforts of people with hope, can we be fully
52、 safe against the misuse of science and can science best serve mankind in the future.47. What can we conclude from the recent study?A. People think highly of science.B. People hold mixed opinions about science.C. Science is getting dangerously out of control.D. Science is used for both good and bad
53、purposes.48. According to the passage, what will happen if we hold that science is getting beyond control?A. The development of science will hopelessly slow down.B. Businesses will have even greater influence on science.C. The public will lose faith in bringing about a bright future.D. People will w
54、ork more actively to put science under control.49. The discussion should reach beyond scientific societies because_A. scientists have failed to predict the outcomesB. the ties between different areas need strengtheningC. united efforts are necessary for the development of scienceD. people need to wo
55、rk together to prevent the bad use of science50. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Science and its applications bring us many dangers.B. The development of science mostly lies in peoples attitudes.第二节 对话理解（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。M： Oh, Christina, is that yo
