15、 for us to expect the work to provide an acceptable return. However, 31 work can satisfy many of our 32 , it cannot be all things to all people. When a persons life is out of 33 and important needs arent being met, they may become 34 and begin to search for the source.For example, a former customer
16、called Doris, 35 to see me for help. While I understood that Doris was 36 , I was not certain that her unhappiness came from her 37 . In fact, her skills and interests seemed to 38 well with her work. Yet, she felt a desire for change and thought that 39 her job was the answer.Since my way of giving

22、ple are successful in business and others are not? Heres a story about one successful businessperson. He started out washing dishes and today he owns 168 restaurants. Zubair -Kazi was born in Bhatkal, a small town in southwest India. His dream was to be an airplane pilot, and when he was 16 years ol
23、d, he learned to fly a small plane. At the age of 23 and with just a little money in his pocket, Mr. Kazi moved to the United States. He hoped to get a job in the airplane industry in California. Instead, he ended up working for a company that rented cars. While Mr. Kazi was working at the car renta
24、l(租赁的) company, he frequently ate at a nearby KFC restaurant. To save money on food, he decided to get a job with KFC. For two months, he worked as a cooks assistant. His job was to clean the kitchen and help the cook. I didnt like it, Mr. Kazi says, but I always did the best I could. One day, Mr. K
25、azis two co-workers failed to come to work. That day, Mr. Kazi did the work of all three people in the kitchen. This really impressed the owners of the restaurant. A few months later, the owners needed a manager for a new restaurant. They gave the job to Mr. Kazi. He worked hard as the manager and s
26、oon the restaurant was making a profit. A few years later, Mr. Kazi heard about a restaurant that was losing money. The restaurant was dirty inside and the food was terrible. Mr. Kazi borrowed money from a bank and bought the restaurant. For the first six months, Mr. Kazi worked in the restaurant fr
27、om 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., seven days a week. He and his wife cleaned up the restaurant, remodeled the front of the building, and improved the cooking. They also tried hard to please the customers. lf someone had to wait more than ten minutes for their food, Mrs. Kazi gave them a free soda. Before long t
28、he restaurant was making a profit. A year later, Mr. Kazi sold his restaurant for a profit. With the money he earned, he bought three more restaurants that were losing money. Again, he cleaned them up, improved the food, and retrained the employees. Before long these restaurants were making a profit
29、, too. Today Mr. Kazi owns 168 restaurants, but he isnt planning to stop there. Hes looking for more poorly managed restaurants to buy. I love it when I go to buy a restaurant and find its a mess, Mr. Kazi says. The only way it can go is up. 51 When Mr. Kazi was young, his dream was to_. A. be an ai
30、rplane pilot.B. sell cars. C. own a restaurant. D. become a good cook. 52 Mr. Kazi decided to work with KFC to_. A. learn how to cook. B. save money for a car. C. save money on food. D. learn how to run a restaurant. 53 Mr. Kazi became the manager of a new restaurant because_. A. his co-workers prai

A. clean it up B. improve the food. C. retrain the employees. D. advertise for it. BMost people believe they dont have much i
32、magination. They are wrong. Everyone has imagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to access it. Creativity isnt always connected with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time routinely think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to
33、achieve, a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind! Here are three techniques to help you. This technique involves taking unrelated ideas and trying to find links between them. First, think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image, word
34、, idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all the ideas/words associated with candles: light, fire, matches, wax: night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the ideas to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy a friend an original present; you
35、could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for the night. Imagine that normal limitations dont exist. You have as much time/space/money, etc. as you want. Think about your goal and the new possibilities. If, for example, your goal is to learn to ski, you can now practice skiing every day of yo
36、ur life (because you have the time and the money). Now adapt this to reality. Maybe you can practice skiing every day in December, or every Monday in January. Look at the situation from a different point of view. Good negotiators(谈判者） use this technique in business, and so do writers. Fiction writer
37、s often imagine they are the characters in their books. They ask questions: what does this character want? Why cant she get it? What changes must she make to get what she wants? What does she dream about? If your goal involves other people, put yourself in their shoes. The best fishermen think like
38、fish! 55 According to the passage, when we become adults_. A. we can still learn to be more creative. B. most of us are no longer creative. C. we are not as imaginative as children. D. we are unwilling to be creative. 56 The second technique suggests that you just imagine_. A. setting a goal is as s
39、imple as skiing. B. you have every resource to achieve your goal. C. new possibilities will soon appear. D. December and January are the best months for skiing. 57 The phrase “put yourself in their shoes” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to_. A. dress yourself like them. B. do as they ask you to
40、. C. think as they would. D. put on their shoes, 58 We learn from the third technique that a good salesman should ask himself: A. what do I usually do? B. what did my boss tell me to do? C. what are my customers needs? D. how should I sell my products? CDo you want to live forever? By the year 2050,
41、 you might actually get your wishif you are willing to leave your biological body and live in silicon circuits （半导体电路）But long before then, perhaps as early as 2020, some measures will begin offering a semblance of immortality （虚拟的永生）Researchers are confident that technology will soon be able to tra
42、ck every waking moment of your lifeWhatever you see and hear, all that you say and write, can be recorded, analyzed and added to your personal chronicles （履历）, By the 2030, it may be possible to catch your nervous （神经） systems through electrical activities, which would also keep your thoughts and em
43、otionsResearchers at the laboratories of British Telecommunications have given the name of this idea as Soul CatcherSmall electronic equipment will make preparation for Soul CatcherIt would use a wearable supercomputer, perhaps in a wristwatch, with wireless links to micro sensors under your scalp （
44、头皮） and in the nerves that carry all five sensory signalsSo wearing a video camera would no longer be requiredAt first, the Soul Catchers companion system the Soul Reader might have trouble copying your thoughts in complete detailsEven in 2030, we may still be struggling to understand how the brain
45、is working inside, so reading your thoughts and understanding your emotions might not be possibleBut these signals could be kept for the day when they can be transferred to silicon circuits to revitalize minds everlasting entities （永生实体）.Researchers can only wonder what it will be like to wake up on
46、e day and find yourself alive inside a machineFor people who choose not to live in silicon, semblance of immortality would not be as useless as they thoughtPeople would know their lives would not be forgotten, but would be kept a record of the human race foreverAnd future generations would have a mu
47、ch fuller understanding of the pastHistory would not be controlled by just the rich and powerful, Hollywood stars, and a few thinkers in the upper society59 The main idea of this passage is that _Ahuman beings long for living foreverBthere are many difficulties in making the Soul CatcherCpeople can

50、f the underlined word revitalize in the fourth paragraph is close to _. .Amake deadBmake famous Cmake knownDmake activeDBeing able to multitask is hailed by most people as a welcome skill, but not according to a recent study which claims that young people between the ages of eight and eighteen of th
51、e so-called Generation M are spending a considerable amount of their time in fruitless efforts as they multitask. It argues that, in fact, these young people are frittering（浪费） away as much as half of their time as they would if they performed the very same tasks one after the other. Some young peop
52、le are using an ever larger number of electronic devices as they study. At the same time they are working, young adults are also surfing on the Internet, or sending out emails to their friends, and/or answering the telephone and listening to music on their iPods or on another computer. As some new d
53、evice comes along, it is also added to the list rather than replacing one of the existing devices. Other research has indicated that this multitasking is even affecting the way families themselves function as young people are too wrapped up in(沉湎于) their own isolated worlds to interact with the othe
54、r people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house nor can they eat at the family table. All this electronic wizardry(魔力) is supposedly also seriously affecting young peoples performance at university and in the workplace. When asked about their opinions of the i
55、mpact of modern gadgets (小装置) on their performance of tasks, the great majority of young people gave a favourable response. The response from the academic and business worlds was not quite as positive. The former feel that multitasking with electronic gadgets by children affects later development of
56、 study skills, resulting in a decline in the quality of writing, for example, because of the lack of concentration on task completion. They feel that many undergraduates now urgently need remedial (补救的) help with study skills. Similarly, employers feel that young people entering the workforce need t
57、o be taught all over again, as they have become deskilled. While all this may be true, it must be borne in mind that more and more is expected of young people nowadays; in fact, too much. Praise rather than criticism is due in respect of the way todays youth are able to cope despite what the older g
58、eneration throw at them. 63 With the introduction of new gadgets, what happens to the Generation Ms present e-devices? A. They give way to the latest.B .They are quickly put aside. C. They are sold to their friends. D. They become part of their collection. 64 Multitasking makes the Generation M_. A.
59、 feel lonely add pitiful. B. selfish and aggressive. C. distant to their family. D. silent and sad. 65 The academics feel that many undergraduates badly need to_. A. adjust their social attitudes. B. seek psychological assistance. C. improve their study skills. D. take more business courses. 66 What
60、 attitude should the older generation adopt towards the multitasking youth? A. Critical. B. Thankful. C. Negative. D. Supportive.EA woman from Japan was telling a friend about her trip to the United States. The woman had visited major businesses and investment companies in New York City and Chicago.
61、“I studied English before I left home,” she said. “But I still was not sure that people were speaking English.”Her problem is easy to understand. Americans in business are like people who are in business anywhere. They have a language of their own. Some of the words and expressions deal with the spe
62、cial areas of their work. Other expressions are borrowed from different kinds of work such as the theater and movie industry.One such saying is “get your act together”. When things go wrong in a business, an employer may get angry. He may shout, “Stop making mistakes. Get your act together.” Or, if
63、the employer is calmer, he may say, “Let us get our act together.”Either way, the meaning is the same. Getting your act together is getting organized. In business, it usually means to develop a calm and orderly plan of action.It is difficult to tell exactly where the saying began. But, it is probabl
64、e that it was in the theater or movie industry. Perhaps one of the actors was nervous and made a lot of mistakes. The director may have said, “Calm down, now. Get your act together.” Word expert James Rogers says the expression was common by the late 1970s. Mister Rogers says the Manchester Guardian
65、 newspaper used it in 1978. The newspaper said a reform policy required that the British government get its act together. Now, this expression is heard often when officials of a company meet. One company even called its yearly report, “Getting Our Act Together.” The Japanese visitor was confused by
66、another expression used by American business people. It is “cut to the chase”. She heard that expression when she attended an important meeting of one company. One official was giving a very long report. It was not very interesting. In fact, some people at the meeting were falling asleep. Finally ,
67、the president of the company said, “Cut to the chase.”Cut to the chase means to stop spending so much time on details or unimportant material. Hurry and get to the good part. Naturally, this saying was started by people who make movies. Hollywood movie producers believe that most Americans want to s
68、ee action movies. Many of their movies show scenes in which the actors chase each other in cars, or in airplanes or on foot. Cut is the directors word for stop. The director means to stop filming, leave out some material, and get to the chase scene now.So, if your employer tells you to cut to the ch
69、ase, be sure to get to the main point of your story quickly.67 After the woman visited the Untied States she might feel that _.A. her English was poor B. Its easy to master EnglishC. its difficult to make money D. people there werent very friendly68 In which situation could the words “get your act t
70、ogether” be used?A. A task is completed successfullyB. Players perform badly in a match.C. Audience is satisfied with the actors performance in a movie.D. Visitors make a tiresome and unpleasant trip to someplace.69 What do the sayings “get your act together” and “cut to the chase” have in common?A.

Their meaningsC. their origins D. their popularities70 The text is most likely to be found in a book about _.A. life attitude B. travel journals C. language culture D. successful business第四部分：书面表达（共两节，满分40分）第一节 完成句子（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满15分）根据下列每句话的汉语意思，用句末括号内的英语单词的正确形式完成句子。71 在上学的路上，我突然想起我
