Usually, achieving what you set out to do is not the important t
19、hing. Let me explain.Two brothers decided to dig a deep hole behind their house. As they were working, a couple of older boys stopped by to watch.“What are you doing?” asked one of the visitors.“We plan to dig a hole all the way through the earth!” one of the brothers answered excitedly.The older bo
20、ys began to laugh, telling the younger ones that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible. After a long silence, one of the diggers picked up a jar（罐） full of spiders(蜘蛛), worms and a lot of insects. He removed the lid and showed the wonderful contents to the visitors who were lau
21、ghing at them. Then he said quietly and confidently, “Even if we dont dig all the way through the earth, look what we found along the way!”Their goal was far too difficult, but it made them dig. And that is what a goal is forto make us move in the direction we have chosen. In other words, it sets us
22、 to digging!But not every goal will be fully achieved. Not every job will end successfully. Not every hope will come to pass. Not every love will last. But when you fall short of your aim, perhaps you can say, “Yes, but look at what I found along the way! Look at the wonderful things which have come
23、 into my life because I tried to do something!” And I believe it is the joy in the journey, rather than in the end, that truly matters.36. The writer told us the story to _ .A. advise us to treat our failures fairly B. persuade us not to make an aim for our livesC. encourage us to learn from the two
24、 brothers D. prove that failure helps us make achievements37. Whats the best title of the passage?A. Failure is the mother of success B. When there is a will, there is a way C. No pains, no gains D. Joy in the journey38. Which is true according to the passage?A. Digging a hole all the way through th
25、e earth is impossible.B. The two brothers will surely reach their goal one day.C. If one has a goal, he will want to dig holes. D. Everyone can succeed if he sets a practical goal.BBill Gates was born on October 28th, 1955. He and his two sisters grew up in Seattle. Their father, William H. Gates II
26、, was a Seattle lawyer. Mary Gates, their late mother, was a school teacher.Gates attended public elementary school before moving on to the private Lakeside School in North Seattle. It was at Lakeside that Gates began his career in personal computer soft- ware, programming computers at age 13.In 197
27、3, Gates entered Harvard University as a freshman, where he lived down the hall from Steve Ballmer, who is now Microsofts president. While at Harvard, Gates developed a version (版本) of the programming language BASIC for the first microcomputer-the MITS Astair. In his junior year, Gates dropped out o
28、f Harvard to devote his energies full-time to Microsoft, a company he had started in 1975 with his boyhood friend Paul Allen. Guided by a belief that the personal computer would be a valuable tool on every office desk-top and in every home, they began developing software for personal computers.Gates
29、 foresight has led to the success of Microsoft and the software industry. He plays an important role in the technical development of new products. Much of his time is devoted to meeting with customers and staying in touch with Microsoft employees around the world through e-mail.In the dozen years si
30、nce Microsoft went public, Gates has donated more than $ 800 million to charities (慈善机构), including $ 200 million to the Gates Library Foundation to help libraries in North America make use of new technologies and the Information Age. 39.

What does the underlined word donated in the last paragraph mean?A. gave. B. earned.C. made. D. received.C If women are mercilessly exploited(剥削) ye
33、ar after year, they have only themselves to blame. Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the
34、 change of fashion.Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend large sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time changing their old-fashion
35、ed dresses. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and so on.No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. New Fashion designers are rarely concerned with necessary things like warmth, comfort and durability (耐用). They are
36、 only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasnt at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or picking
37、 her way through deep snow in high heeled shoes.When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashions of womens clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability? Men are too clever to let themse
38、lves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability(稳定耐用)? That is for you to decide.43. Designers and big stores always make money_. A. by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industry B. because they are cap
39、able of predicting new fashions C. by constantly changing the fashions in womens clothing D. because they attach great importance to quality in womens clothing44. To the writer, the fact that women change their old-fashioned dresses is seen as _. A. a waste of money B. a waste of time C. an expressi
40、on of taste D. an expression of creativity45. New fashions in clothing are created for _.A. the commercial exploitation of women B. the womens strength of character C. basic qualities of warmth.D. an important contribution to society46. By saying the conclusions to be drawn are obvious (Line One to
41、Line Two, Paragraph Four), the writer means that _. A. womens inconstancy in their choice of clothing is often laughed at B. women are better able to put up with discomfortC. men are also exploited greatly by fashion designersD. men are more reasonable in the matter of fashion DIn only two decades A
42、sian Americans have become the fastest-growing U.S. minority (少数民族). As their children began moving up through the nations schools, it became clear that a new class of academic achievers was emerging.出现 Their achievements are reflected in the nations best universities, where mathematics, science and
43、 engineering departments have taken on a decided(明显的) Asian character. This special liking for mathematics and science is partly explained by the fact that Asian-American students who began their educations abroad arrived in the U. S. with a solid grounding in mathematics but little or no knowledge
44、of English. They are also influenced by the promise of a good job after college. Asians feel there will be less unfair treatment in areas like mathematics and science because they will be judged more objectively. And the return on the investment in education is more immediate in something like engin
45、eering than with an arts degree.Most Asian-American students owe their success to the influence of parents who are determined that their children take full advantage of what the American educational system has to offer. An effective measure of parental attention is homework. Asian parents spend more
46、 time with their children than American parents do, and it helps. Many researchers also believe there is something in Asian culture that breeds success, such as ideals that stress family values and emphasize education. Both explanations for academic success worry Asian Americans because of fears tha
47、t they feed a typical racial image. Many can remember when Chinese, Japanese and Filipino immigrants were the victims of social isolation. Indeed, it was not until 1952 that laws were laid down giving all Asian immigrants the right to citizenship.47While making tremendous achievements at college, As
48、ian- American students _.Afeel they are mistreated because of limited knowledge of English Bare afraid that their academic successes does not bear a strong American characterCstill worry about unfair treatment in societyDgenerally feel it is a shame to have to depend on their parents48What are the m
49、ajor factors that determine the success of Asian Americans?AA solid foundation in basic mathematics and being Asian Americans.BHard work and intelligence. CParental help and a limited knowledge of English.DAsian culture and the American educational system.49Why do the two “explanations” (Line 1, Par
50、a. 3 ) worry Asian Americans ?AThey are afraid that they would again be isolated from American society in general.BPeople would think that Asian students rely on their parents for success.CAsian Americans would be a threat to other minorities.DAmerican academic achievements have taken on too strong
51、an Asian character.50The authors tone（ 语气） in this passage is _. Asympathetic Bdoubtful Ccritical DobjectiveE从七个答案中选中五个，其余两个多余May the first is an important date in the college admission process in the United States. This is the last day for high school seniors to accept or reject offers of admission
52、 in the fall. But according to a recent report, there is a great change. Acceptance rates at the top colleges this year were lower than ever._51_.These days, college applicants are applying to more colleges because online and common applications make the process easier._-52_.On the other hand, decid
53、ing students for top colleges to accept can be difficult because it takes much time. Students may not like being put on waiting lists. Also, common colleges work more to get the students to accept them. Some colleges hold visiting days that offer a chance to attend classes and stay overnight. Some u
54、niversities send gifts._53_. For many families, the most important thing colleges can do is show them the money, especially this year; the weak economy makes parents nervous._-54_- The recent problems that spread from the housing market to credit markets have even affected students loans. So lately,
55、 top schools have to spare lots of money to increase their financial aid for students._55_The Education Department expects the number of high school graduates to start to go down.

I often quarrel with my mother over whether I can watch TV after school. My mother holds the view that students in Senior 3, heavily b
67、urdened with their studies, are too busy to spare any time to watch TV. It seems to her that once I am allowed to do that I will not be able to control myself and forget all about my study. She also thinks that it is bad for my eyes to watch TV too often. But I really cant accept her ideas. I think it is relaxing to watch TV after a days hard work. Not only can it set my mind at rest, but it can broaden my horizons. Now we have at last reached an agreement that I can only watch TV at weekends, and the programs should be limited to news and programs of entertainment, sports or science.
