17、f my teachers, I had, without telling anyone, tried to 36 my studies in literature at evening classes. It was a tiresome 37 from one end of the city to another and to 38 among adults was uninteresting. I was the youngest in the 39 , so the friendship I knew at school was 40 . I put up with it for a
18、short period. It was 41 long a walk on cold winters nights and it was hard to put my 42 into Shakespeare with wet shoes and trousers.

25、个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。AI was on a train the other day, in an empty compartment, and I wanted to read the last part of a detective story. Then the door opened and a mother with two small children asked me, “may we sit here, Madam?” at first I wanted to say, “well, actually, Im reading an exciting book
26、 and Id like to finish it. Could you find another compartment?”But of course I said, “yes, certainly,” I still had not finished that book. Unfortunately, I found it very difficult to say “No” to those magic words “May I ” or “would you mind if”Of course people usually ask permission to do quite harm
27、less things, like using the telephone, turning the light on, opening the window and things like that. But then there are some funny requests. Some people even ask if they may wash their hands or take their coats off. On the other hand, very few smokers will bother to ask permission to smoke!But what
28、 about those difficult requests like, “Do you mind if I come round for a cup of coffee?” or “Is it all right if I bring the children to the party? They are very good really.” The trouble is, I just dont have the nerve to refuse. Well, do you?56. The writer describes those requests as “magic words” b
29、ecause they _A are amusing B are harmless C always work D are easily understood57.

31、l, the job is a lot more difficult than you might think. There is a right way and a wrong way to shake a fruit tree. And a person who is a good apple tree shaker may not be a good cherry tree shaker. Different fruits take different shakes .As a rule, a slow hard shake is best. This makes the fruit f
32、all much faster than a light; quick jiggle. Most fruits have a set number of shakes per minute that will do the best job of getting them out of the tree and onto the ground. To shake down plums, try shaking the tree four hundred times per minute, moving the tree two inches at each shake. Experts say
33、 youll get three times more fruit from the tree than you will if you shake eleven hundred times per minute at one inch per shake. Cherries, because they are smaller, need more shaking. A good rate of shaking seems to be about twelve hundred shakes per minute. Apples, like plums, need four hundred sh
34、akes.Of course, some people may choose to take no notice of all these expert directions for shaking fruit. Keeping track of all the numbers can be enough to drive some people up a tree. 60This passage is about _.Aeating plums Bhow to shake fruit from a treeCthe value of fruits and vegetables Dways i
35、n which people shake61A smaller fruit tree normally requires _.Amore people Bless shaking Ctwo people per tree Dmore shaking62The writer ends this story with _.Aa serious thought Ba suggestion for other ways to get fruit from treesCa joke Da warningCToday, no one thinks of Bill Gates as a failed ent
36、repreneur or a college dropout yet. Both of these things are true of Gates, American richest man and the pioneering genius who leads the computer software industry. Gates was born in Seattle in 1955. Young Gates grades werent always great. Although he did well in science and maths, he was something
37、of an underachiever. But in the eighth grade he found his passion. In the 1960s, the mothers club at Gates school bought a computer for the students.Gates discovered it and soon became computer crazy. He spent every evening and weekend trying to master computer technology. His computer usage fees we
38、re so high that he hide from his parents the amount he spent. It wasnt long, though until his programming passion turned toward real goals. He and his friend Paul Allen started a company called Traf-0-Data. Their goal was to use new computer technology to count passing cars. The company went broke.
39、After all he was only in the eighth grade. And it didnt discourage his interest in technology. In fact, it was because of his passion for programming that he later dropped out of Harvard. He spent two dissatisfying years at the university before he left to form another company with Allen. Gates and
40、Allen called their software company Microsoft. In the 1970s it was only a small operation running out of loaned office in Arizona. Gates would work late into the night and sometimes sleep under his desk. Today, Microsoft is the software industry giant. As chairman and chief executive officer of Micr
41、osoft, Gates operates as the prince of programmers.Despite his wealth and recent marriage, Gates hasnt slowed down. He is still a workaholic, putting in long hours at the office.63.

44、rkaholic here means _A. a member of the company B. a common person with high positionC. a person who has great interest in PC D. one who has a strong determination and interest to workDWe Americans are wasteful people, not used to saving. Early settlers, our forefathers set us an example of wasting
45、everything, for they thought natures resources were so plentiful that none of them ever imagined that natural materials would be used up in time. Within a few years of the first Virginia settlement, for example, pioneers burned down their house when they were ready to move west. They burned down the
46、ir house with only one aim to get the nails (钉子) for future use . No one ever gave a thought to the priceless hard woods that went up in smoke. As a people we destroy many valuable things that other people save. I noticed this when I was living in Britain. I received a letter from one Englands large
47、st banks. It was enclosed in a used envelope that had been readdressed to me. Such a practice would be unthinkable in the United States.

Acceptance rates at the top colleges this year were lower than ever. 71 These days, college applicants are applying to more colleges because online and common applications make the process easier. 72 On the other hand, deciding students for top colleges to
