The secretary he had talked to on the phone sounded friendly and encouraging. Maxwell was a typist. His fingers
29、 danced on the keyboard. However, his people skills were not nearly as good as his typing skills. Sometimes his mouth got in the way of his employment. At his last steady job, his boss had told him to start making coffee every morning. Maxwell laughed. “Im not making coffee,” he said. “Its not part
30、of my job description.” “Read the employee manual again,” his boss said. “Your job description is anything I say it is.” “Thats a womans job,” said Maxwell. “Do it yourself.” His boss was still yelling as Maxwell walked out of the building. He felt great about telling off the boss. A few days later,
31、 the reality of not having a job hit home. He had to pay the rent and utility bills, and he had to eat. What was he going to do? He thought about apologizing and asking for his job back. But how would that look? Then again, who cares how it looks when youre almost broke? After thinking about it for
32、another week, he finally called his boss and apologized. His boss accepted his apology, but said that he had already hired a replacement. Maxwell contacted a temporary job agency, which provided him enough occasional work to pay his bills. But none of the companies that he was sent to were hiring. S
33、o Maxwell was excited about finally getting an interview for a steady job. Maxwells drive to the interview was disappointing. The traffic was congested and the neighborhood looked rough. It took him 45 minutes to get there. The building was covered with graffiti.(涂鸦) The interview started 30 minutes
34、 late. Not bothering to apologize, the manager lit a cigarette and took a sip from his coffee cup. He leaned back in his chair and put his feet up on his desk. He asked Maxwell a lot of questions. Maxwell thought that each question was stupider than the preceding question. The final question was, “W
35、here would you like to be 10 years from now?” What does that have to do with typing? Maxwell wondered. Stupid questions from a rude man in a lousy neighborhood! Where would he like to be 10 years from now? “Anywhere but this dump!” Maxwell said angrily, as he stood up and walked out. 51Maxwell lost
36、his last steady job because_.A. he was not a qualified typist. B. he couldnt make coffeeC. he was not skillful enough in communicating with people. D. he didnt apologize in time.52The underlined word congested most probably means _. A. too blocked or crowded B. dangerous and poorC. light and slow-mo
37、vingD. constant but fast-flowing53According to the passage, which statement is right about the job interview? A. Maxwell was 30 minutes late. B. The manager got no manners in the interview. C. The interviewer asked a lot of silly questions except the last one. D. Maxwell misunderstood the interviewe
38、rs questions.54After the interview, we can infer that _. A. Maxwell will celebrate his big day. B. The manager will apologize to Maxwell. C. Maxwell will finally get this post.D. Maxwell will have to find another job interview.B Coral Polge is a person who has provided comfort to thousands. She has
39、a remarkable talent which may prove the survival of the human spirit after death, for Coral is a medium who draws the portraits of spirits who contact her. Coral, whose parents were spiritualists, was brought up in Harrow, North London, where she attended a local spiritualist church. She studied art
40、 at the local college, where she specialized in textile design. Even though, at the time, she wasnt very good at drawing portraits, she met a medium who told her she would be a psychic(通灵的) artist. She doesnt actually see the dead nor are her hands controlled by the spirits; instead she feels them c
41、oming through. Early in her career she drew the portraits of spirit guides from whom she had received help. These portraits of guides, who included Red Indians, nuns and monks, were remarkable, yet could have been attributed to the working of a strong imagination. She also drew portraits by holding
42、on to letters that had been written by people who had since died. Coral says, I know exactly what to draw without thinking about it. Its involuntary, like breathing or walking. Not only are her portraits a good likeness but she sketches her subjects in clothes they would have worn in life. Coral has
43、 displayed her talent at public meetings around the world. At one gathering there was a woman whose grandfather had just died. Her name was Phyllis Timms. Coral made a sketch of a man who had a long moustache and Phyllis recognized the man as her grandfather. However, she was reluctant to acknowledg
44、e the portrait without extra proof. Coral then said that the colour green was a link with the man whom she had drawn. Mrs Timms, whose maiden name had been Green, understood the significance of the comment and claimed the portrait. There are some people for whom this is evidence of survival from bey
45、ond the grave. Others, who have their reservations, may put it down to an extraordinary kind of extrasensory perception(超感知觉). Whatever the reason, it remains a gift impossible to explain away and we should try to keep an open mind.55. Coral draws the portrait of spirits in order to _.A. prove the e
46、xistence of the human spirit.B. help those people who miss the dead.C. show off her special talent.D. inspire people who believe in ghosts.56. According to the passage, Coral can draw the spirits most probably because _.A. she could see the spirits.B. she learned it from college.C. she had a strong
47、imagination.D. she was gifted to feel the spirits.57. In the example of Phyllis Timms, _.A. Coral failed to draw the portrait of the dead.B. Phyllis eventually admitted the portrait was right about her grandfather.C. Coral knew green was a name.D. Phyllis didnt prove Corals talent.58. What we can in
48、fer from the last paragraph is that _.A. people should believe in the spirits.B. science can explain what happened to Coral.C. people can learn supernatural powers.D. some mysteries on human beings havent been solved yet.CHere below we will talk about the American expressions using the word “Dutch”.
49、 Many of the “Dutch” expressions heard in American English were first used in England in the seventeenth century. Britain used to be called “empire on which the sun never sets”，which gained its supreme至高无上的 power mostly by its naval military forces. The period of the Anglo-Dutch Wars was a time of f
50、ierce naval competition between England and the Netherlands. At that time, the British used “Dutch” as a word for something bad, or false, or mistaken.A “Dutch agreement” was one made between men who had drunk too much alcohol. “Dutch courage” was the false courage produced by the effects of drinkin
51、g alcohol. And “Dutch leave” was what a solider took when he left his base基地 without permission.Some of these old expressions are still used today with a little different meaning. “Dutch treat” is one example. Long ago, a Dutch treat was a dinner at which the invited guests were expected to pay for
52、their own share of the food and drink. Now, Dutch treat means that when friends go out to have fun, each person pays his own share.Another common expression heard a few years ago was “in Dutch”, which simply referred to the country then. Nowadays, if someone says to you, you are in Dutch, they are t
53、elling you that you were in trouble. An important person, a parent or teacher perhaps, is angry with you.Some of the Dutch expressions heard in American English have nothing to do with the Dutch people at all. In the 1700s, Germans who moved to the United States often were called Dutch. This happene
54、d because of mistakes in understanding and saying the word “Deutsch”, the German word for German. Families of these German people still live in the eastern United States, many in the state of Pennsylvania. They are known as the Pennsylvania Dutch.During the American Civil War, supporters of the nort
55、hern side in the central state of Missouri were called Dutch, because many of them were German settlers. In California, during the Gold Rush, the term Dutch was used to describe Germans, Swedes, and Norwegians as well as people from the Netherlands.President Theodore Roosevelt once noted that anythi
56、ng foreign and non-English was called Dutch. One expression still in use, “to talk to someone like a Dutch uncle”, did come from the Dutch. The Dutch were known for the firm way they raise their children. So if someone speaks to you like a Dutch uncle, he is speaking in a very severe way. And you sh
57、ould listen to him carefully. 59. According to paragraph 1, the British used “Dutch” as a word for something bad and mistaken because _.A. it was the long-lasting habit of the British language.B. the Netherlands was the closest rival for naval supremacy then.C. there was a close connection between “
58、Dutch” and “Deutsch”. D. anything foreign and non-English was called “Dutch”.60. Most probably, a man with Dutch courage would _.A. invite his friends to dinner.B. beat a strange passer-by without any reason.C. speak to a Dutch uncle.D. become angry with the teacher.61. Which one of the following ha
59、s nothing to do with the Dutch?A. The expression “to talk to someone like a Dutch uncle”.B. When friends go out to have fun, they choose Dutch treat.C. Germans who moved to the United States were called Dutch.D. A solider took “Dutch leave” during wars.62. What is mainly talked about in the passage?
60、A. Language causes of the Anglo-Dutch WarsB. Language of the NetherlandsC. Deutsch V.S. DutchD. Dutch expressions in American EnglishDAccording to a handful of studies, a name not only reveals clues about a persons class, education and ethnic（种族的） origin, it can also influence the bearer of the name
61、 and the choices they make in life.Scientists have even drawn conclusions to suggest that people are often drawn to things and people that sound like their own names. These experts claim that implicit egotism(内隐自我主义) is the reason that someone called Dennis might become a dentist or even that a chil
62、d whose name begins with a B or C may perform worse in school examinations.That a persons name may be bound to his or her destiny is far from a new phenomenon. The Ancient Romans promoted the concept nomenest omen, meaning name is destiny. Studies have indeed shown that those with more conservative
63、names are more successful when applying for a job. And a recent survey conducted in Australia revealed that people respond more warmly to colleagues and politicians with names they can easily pronounce.Yet parents nowadays are putting that much more effort into giving their children original names t
64、hat are largely unfamiliar. Though historically names from the Bible have been passed down through families, in recent days the tendency has been to think outside the box and consider movies, songs and stories for inspiration. When Britney Spears rose to fame the slightly altered Brittaney became wi
65、ldly popular among new parents and recently, thanks to the Twilight series, Isabella has made a comeback. One study found that 30 percent of African American girls born in California during the 1990s were given unique names that they shared with not a single person born in the same year in the same
66、state.Dr Martin Ford of George Mason University, however, believes a name does not stand for much. He explained to The Week: Names only have a significant influence when that is the only thing you know about the person. Add a picture, and the impact of the name weakens. Add information about persona
67、lity, motivation, and ability, and the impact of the name shrinks (缩小) to minimal significance.63. According to paragraph 2, a person called John would probably be attracted by_.（3） Jason B. Jon C. Jack D. Jeff64. According to the passage, the new trend to name a child includes all below EXCEPT_.A.n
68、ames from the BibleB.unique namesC.names from movies, songs and storiesD.names pronounced easily A. ab B. ac C. bc D. ad65. What is the opinion of Dr Martin Ford about the impact of a name?A. A persons name hasnt much to do with his lifeB. A persons personality, motivation and ability are less influ
69、ential than his name.C. When you know something about a person, his name is of importance.D. People can know ones class, education and race from his name.66. Which conclusion can be drawn from the studies and the survey mentioned in this passage?A. A boy called Chuck may get straight As in the schoo
70、l tests.B. People whose names are difficultly pronounced are more likely to be accepted.C. People with conservative names seem to have easier access to new jobs.D. Names can shape our lives from classroom to career path.EFifteen years after Titanic smashed box office records and swept the Academy Aw

Second, being an honest person, we can be trusted by other people and have more friends, which will do good to our lives. I do believe honesty is a virtue which is the only key to open the door to the success in our careers and lives.
