Passage 1

Mr. Young ran his own business and worked very hard. His wife was afraid that he would get sick if he continued like that, so she often tried to get him to take a vacation. At last she managed to persuade him to do so, and she hoped that he would be able to enjoy his vacation without any disturbance, so before they left, Mrs. Young went to see her husband's secretary. She said to her, "My husband needs a vacation very much, so whatever happens, please don't bother him with telegrams and letters about business problems while we are away. Just wait till we get back."

After Mr. and Mrs. Young had been away about a week, Mr. Young received a letter from his secretary which said, "Something terrible happened to your business, but I'm not going to bother you with it while you are enjoying your vacation."

Passage 5

A story is told about a soldier who was finally coming home after having fought in Vietnam. He called his parents from San Francisco. "Mom and Dad, I'm coming home, but I've a favor to ask. I have a friend. I'd like to bring him home with me."

"Sure," they replied, "we'd love to meet him."

"There's something you should know," the son continued, "he was injured pretty badly in the fighting. He stepped on a land mine（地雷）and lost an arm and a leg. He has nowhere else to go, and I want him to live with us."

"We're sorry to hear that, son. But, maybe we can help him find somewhere to live."

"No, Mom and Dad, I want him to live with us."

"Son," said the father, "you don't know what you're asking. Someone with such a handicap would be a terrible burden to us. We have our own lives to live, and we can't let something like this interfere with our lives. I think you should just come home and forget about this guy. He'll find a way to live on his own."

At that point, the son hung up the phone. The parents heard nothing more from him. A few days later, however, they received a call from the San Francisco police. Their son had died after falling from a building. The police believed he had killed himself.

The grief-stricken（悲痛欲绝的）parents flew to San Francisco and were taken to the city morgue （太平间）to identify the body of their son. They recognized him, but to their horror they also discovered something they didn't know, their son had only one arm and one leg.

“儿子，我们听到这个消息很抱歉。但是,或许我们可以帮他找个住的地方。”

“不,爸爸妈妈,我想让他和我们住在一起。”

“儿子,”父亲说,“你不知道你在说什么，身体这样残疾的人会成为我们生活的沉重负担，我们有自己的生活,我们不能让这样的事情干扰我们的生活。我觉得你回来就好了,把那个人忘了吧，他会有办法自己活下去的”

说到这里,儿子挂断了电话。父母再也听不到他的声音。然而几天后,他们接到了旧金山警方的电话，说他们的儿子坠楼身亡了，警方认为他是自杀。

悲痛欲绝的父母飞往旧金山,并在警方的带领下到太平间去辨认儿子的遗体。他们认出了他,但是让他们十分震惊的我，他们发现了一件之前不知道的事情：他们的儿子只有一只胳膊和一条腿。

Passage 6

People often say that the Englishman's home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important and personal. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them personal, and change them in any way they like- Most houses have a garden, even if it is a small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private space of a person. In a crowded city a person knows that he or she has a private space which is only for him or herself and for invited friends.

People usually like to mark their space. If you are on the beach you may have spread your towels around you; on the train you may have put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you; in a library you may spread your books around you,

Once I was travelling on a train to London. I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man opposite to me had his briefcase on the table. There was no space on my side of the table at all. I was unhappy. I thought he thought thai he owned the whole table. I had been reading a book about nonverbal communication so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his case! When I did this he suddenly became angry and his eyes nearly popped out of his head. I had taken up his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off in order to read them. He immediately moved his case

to his side of the table.

人们常说英国人的家就是他的城堡，意思是说家很重要也很私人的。大多数英国人住在别墅而不是公寓,许多人都有自己的房子。这意味着他们可以把房子搞得颇具个人色彩，可以随心所欲的改变它。多数房子里都有花园,即便花园很小,通常都是主人钟爱的。房子和花园是一个人的私密空间。在拥挤的都市,人们知道他或她拥有的私密空间仅仅属于自己和受邀的朋友们。

人们通常喜欢标记地盘。在沙滩上你会把浴巾摊开在你的周围,在火车上会把你的外套或小包放在你旁边的座位上,在图书馆里你会将你的书摊在你的周围。

有一次我坐车去伦敦，坐在一个四人区,我们之间有张桌子。坐在我对面的男人将他的公文包放在桌子上，我这边的桌子没剩下任何地方。我很不高兴，我觉得他是认为整张桌子都归他所有。那段时间我正在读一本关于非语言交流的书,于是我从包里拿出很多不同的文件放在他的包上!当我这么做的时候,他很气愤,他瞪大了眼睛，我占了他的地盘!几分钟后,当我拿起文件来看，他马上把包挪到自己那边去了。

Passage 7

In 1920, barely out of his teens, Alfred Hitchcock went to work for an American film company which had opened a studio in Islington, London. His first job at the studio was writing captions （脚本）for silent movies. Within two years, he was writing scripts（剧本）and working as an assistant director.

For the rest of the 1920s, Hitchcock worked on one film after another in Britain and Germany. Filming was often a rough-and-ready（匆忙做成的）affair and the assistant director was required to step in and plug gaps. A cameraman went missing, Hitchcock became a cameraman. A scene needed rewriting, Hitchcock rewrote it. Someone needed to be in charge of money when the film crew was on location, Hitchcock looked after the money.

At the same time, this being the era of silent movies, Hitchcock was learning the language of cinema: telling a story－not through dialogue, but through visual images（视觉影象）. This led to his success later.

When he began to direct his own films, first in Britain and later in Hollywood, he was determined to make films that held the audience's attention and kept tension（紧张感）. He succeeded. Hitchcock's ability to put you on the edge of your seat makes him one of the greatest makers of suspense（悬念）movies.

1920，阿尔弗雷德·希区柯克（Alfred Hitchcock）还不到20岁，在美国的一家电影公司工作。这家电影公司在伦敦的Islington开了个制片厂。他的第一份工作是为默片写脚本。两年内，他写剧本，并且当副导演。

在20年代，他在英国和德国出品了一部又一部电影。电影经常是匆忙现做的，所以需要副导演再来介入加入火花高潮等。

同时，这是默片时代。希区柯克学习电影语言---不是通过对话，而是通过视觉影像来讲故事。这带来了他之后的成功。

当他开始在英国后来在好莱坞导演自己的电影时，他下定决心要让观众看时候感到紧张。他成功了。希区柯克的电影能够让你紧张地坐在椅子的边边，这就是为什么他能成为悬疑电影大师的原因

Passage 10

We are busy talking about and using the Internet，but how many of us know the history of the Internet?

Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up in the 1960s. At that time，computers were large and expensive. Computer network didn't work well. If one computer in the network broke down，then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working，information could be sent through another part. In this way computer network system would keep on working on the time.

At first the Internet was only used by the government，but in the early 1970s，universities，hospitals and banks were allowed to use it too. However，computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of the 1990s，computers became cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software that made "surfing"in the Internet more convenient.

Today it is easy to get on-line and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day. Sending e-mail is more and more popular among students.

The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people's life.

我们都在谈论和使用互联网，但是有多少人知道网络的历史。

很多人得知网络建立于20世纪60年代时，都很吃惊。那时候电脑很大，也很贵。网络常常断线，如果网络中的一台电脑坏了，那整个网络都得停了。所以必须建立一个新的网络，这个网络应该能让很多台电脑使用，如果网络的一部分不能工作了，信息应该可以通过网络的另一部分传递出。通过这种方式，电脑网络系统可以及时的工作

一开始，只有政府使用网络，但在20世纪70年代，大学，医院和银行也被许可运行网络。然而电脑还是很昂贵，也不太好用，到90年代，电脑便宜了也好用了。科学家也开发了软件，使网上冲浪更便利了。

今天很容易上网，据说每天有几百万的人在使用网络。

Passage 13

Three men traveling on a train began a conversation about the world's greatest wonders.

"In my opinion," the first man said, "the Egyptian pyramids（埃及金字塔）are the world's greatest wonder. Although they were built thousands of years ago, they are still standing. And remember: the people who built them had only simple tools. They did not have the kind of machinery that builders and engineers have today."

"I agree that the pyramids in Egypt are wonderful," the second man said, "but I do not think they are the greatest wonder. I believe computers are more wonderful than the pyramids. They have taken people to the moon and brought them back safely. In seconds，they carry out mathematical calculations that would take a person a hundred years to do."

He turned to the third man and asked, "What do you think is the greatest wonder in the world？"

The third man thought for a long time，and then he said, "Well，I agree that the pyramids are wonderful, and I agree that computers are wonderful, too. However, in my opinion, the most wonderful thing in the world is this thermos."

And he took a thermos out of his bag and held it up.

The other two men were very surprised. "A thermos?" they exclaimed. "But that's a simple thing."

"Oh, no，it's not, "the third man said. "In the winter you put in a hot drink and it stays hot. In the summer you put in a cold drink and it stays cold. How does the thermos know whether it's winter or summer？"

三个人在谈论世界上伟大的奇观。其中的一个人认为修建于几千年前的金字塔是最让人叹服的世界奇迹。其理由是：当时只有简单的原始工具，并没有我们现代化的设备和技艺精湛的工程师。第二个人则认为电子计算机金字塔更为奇妙。因为在它们的控制下人类已经登上月球并安全返回，并且计算机的运算速度实在惊人。第三个人的观点非常独特，他认为暖水瓶是最让人不可思议的发明。其他两个对他的话感到十分诧异。问其原因时，那人却说：冬天，把热水倒进去，它就能保温；夏天把冷饮倒进去时，它就能保持冰凉。它怎么知道是夏天还是冬天？”

Passage 14

The workers who brought the girl to the orphanage (孤儿院) knew little about her. The streets where they found her had been her home for many years. Her parents were unknown. They left her long ago. At the orphanage, the girl, like all the children there, was taught to read and write. While she was studying at the orphanage，she learned something else－to be independent. At twenty-one，she left the orphanage and began work as a secretary. And then，in 1975, while she was still working as an ordinary secretary, something special happened. She entered the Miss Hong Kong competition and won it. This was the turning point in her life. Now her name，Mary Cheung，was known to everybody.

Mary entered the competition because she wanted to show that orphanage girls could be something. Winning the competition gave her the chance to start a new life. This led her first into television and then into business as a manager. When she was working as a manager，she had trouble with her reports. "My English just wasn't good enough." she says. Luckily，she had a boyfriend (who later became her husband) to help her.

Mary studied management at Hong Kong Polytechnic and graduated in 1980. She started her own business in 1985. But she did not stop developing herself. She then studied at the University of Hong Kong. Since 1987，she had spent a lot of time on photography. She has held several exhibitions of her work in many places－China, New Zealand and Paris. She still found time, however, to work on TV, write for newspapers and bring up her family.

The girl from the street has come a long way, but her journey is not finished yet.

带她带孤儿院的工作人员对她知之甚少. 发现她的那条大街好多年就是她的家。不知道她的父母是谁。他们离开她很多年了。在孤儿院里，跟许多孩子一样，女孩也学读书写字，她还学会了独立。21岁的时候，她离开了孤儿院做了一名秘书。1975年，当她做着普通的秘书工作的时候，发生一件特别的事情，她参加了香港小姐竞选。这是她人生的转折点。她的名字叫陈玛丽，众人周知了。

玛丽之所以要参加选美，是因为她想让大家知道孤儿院的女孩也是很棒的。赢得比赛，让她重新开始一种生活。她开始涉足电视，然后经商当经理。在做经理的时候，她在报道上有困难。“我的英语不够好‘她说。不过幸运的时候，当时有男朋友帮忙，男朋友后来成了丈夫。

玛丽在香港科技大学学习管理，1980年毕业。1985开始创业。不过她一直在发展自身。然后她到香港大学学习。1987年后她开始花很多时间琢磨摄影。她甚至在很多地方—中国，新西兰，巴黎等地方展出了她的摄影作品。她还能找出时间上电视，为报纸写稿，照顾家庭。

这个来自于大街的孤儿，经历了很多历程，不过还远没有停止。

It was not until in my late thirties that I made this important discovery： giving-away makes life so much more exciting. You need not worry if you lack money. This is how I experimented with giving-away. If an idea for improving the window display of a neighborhood store flashes to me, I step in and make the suggestion to the storekeeper. One discovery I made about giving-away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back, though the return often comes in an unexpected form. One Sunday morning the local post office delivered an important special delivery letter to my home, though it was addressed to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation. More than a year later I needed a post-office box for a new business I was starting. I was told at the window that there were no boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list. As I was about to leave, the postmaster appeared in the doorway. He had overheard our conversation. “Wasn’t it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home?” I said yes. “Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to make one for you. You don’t know what a letter like that means to us. We usually get nothing but complaints.” 像绝大部分人，我长大看待生命是一个过程获得。直到我在30月底，我作出这个重要发现：给予，距离使我们的生活如此更令人兴奋的。您不必担心如果缺乏资金。这是我尝试让-消失。如果一个主意，

Text 1 如果你打算在2006年世界杯锦标赛上调查所有足球运动员的出生证明，那么你很有可能发现一个引人注目的巧合：优秀足球运动员更可能出生于每年的前几个月而不是后几个月。如果你接着调查世界杯和职业比赛的欧洲国家青年队的话，那么你会发现这一奇怪的现象甚至更明显。 什么可以解释这一奇怪的现象呢？下面是一些猜测：a）某种占星术征兆使人具备更高的足球技能；b）冬季出生的婴儿往往具有更高的供氧能力，这增加了踢足球的持久力；c）热爱足球的父母更可能在春季（每年足球狂热的鼎盛时期）怀孕；d）以上各项都不是。 58岁的安德斯?埃里克森是佛罗里达州立大学的一名心理学教授，他说，他坚信“以上各项都不是”这一猜测。在瑞典长大的埃里克森，一直研究核工程，直到他认识到，如果他转向心理学领域，他将会有更多机会从事自己的研究。他的首次试验是在大约30年以前进行的，与记忆相关：训练一个人先听一组任意挑选的数字，然后复述这些数字。“在经过大约20小时的训练之后，第一个试验对象（复述）的数字跨度从7个上升到20个，”埃里克森回忆说。“该试验对象不断进步，在接受大约200个小时的训练后，他复述的数字已经达到80多个。” 这一成功，连同后来证明的记忆本身不是遗传决定的研究，使得埃里克森得出结论，即记忆过程是一种认知练习，而不是一种本能练习。换句话说，无论两个人在记忆力能力上可能存在怎样的天生差异，这些差异都会被每个人如何恰当地“解读”所记的信息所掩盖。埃里克森确信，了解如何有目的地解读信息的最佳方法就是一个为人所知的有意练习过程。有意练习需要的不仅仅是简单地重复一个任务。相反，它包括确定明确的目标、获得即时的反馈以及技术与结果的浓缩。 因此，埃里克森和他的同事开始研究包括足球领域在内的广泛领域中专业执行者。他们收集了能够收集的所有资料，不只是表现方面的统计数据和传记详细资料，还包括他们自己对取得很高成就的人员进行的实验室实验结果。他们的研究得出了一个非常令人惊奇的结论——我们通常称为天分的特征被高估了。或者，换句话说，专业执行者――无论是在记忆还是手术方面，在芭蕾还是计算机编程领域――几乎总是培养的，而不是天生的。 21. 文中提到足球运动员中的出生现象是用来__________.

Passage1 Reading leadership literature, you’d sometimes think that everyone has the potential to be an effective leader. 读领导文学，你有时会认为每个人都有可能成为一个有效的领导者。 I don’t believe that to be true. In fact, I see way fewer truly effective leaders than I see people stuck in positions of leadership who arc sadly incompetent and seriously misguided about their own abilities. 我不相信这是真的。事实上，我认为真正有效的领导者的方式比我看到的人都陷在领导的职位上，遗憾的是他们自己的能力不称职，严重误导了他们。 Part of the reason this happens is a lack of honest self-assessment by those who aspire to（追求）leadership in the first place. 对产生这种现象的原因一部分是由那些渴望缺乏诚实的自我评估（追求）放在首位的领导 We've all met the type of individual who simply must take charge. Whether it's a decision-making session, a basketball game, or a family outing, they can't help grabbing the lead dog position and clinging on to it for dear life. They believe they're natural born leaders. 我们都遇到了个人的类型，他们必须负责。无论是决策会议，篮球比赛，还是家庭外出，他们都不能不抓住领导的狗的地位，并紧紧抓住它，因为亲爱的生命。他们相信他们是天生的领袖。 Truth is, they're nothing of the sort. True leaders don't assume that it's their divine（神圣的）right to take charge every time two or more people get together. Quite the opposite.

They believe that constant motion somehow generates leadership as a byproduct. Faced with any situation that can’t be solved by the sheer force of activity, they generate a dust cloud of impatience.

Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage. Boys' schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art, dance and music. Far from the traditional image of a culture of aggressive masculinity (阳刚), the absence of girls gives boys the chance to develop without pressure to conform to a stereotype. a US study says. Boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness, rather than feeling they had to conform to the "boy code" of hiding their emotions to be a "real man". The findings of the study so against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls. Tony Little, headmaster of Eton, warned that boys were being faded by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls. He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls. The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when their female peers do better earlier in speaking and reading skills. But in single-sex schools teachers can tailor lessons to boys' learning style, letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom, wrote the study's author, Abigail James, of the University of Virginia Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with "boy-focused" approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them. Because boys generally have more acute vision learn best through touch, and are physically more active, they need to be given "hands-on" lessons where they are allowed to walk around. "Boys in mixed schools view classical music as feminine (女性的) and prefer the modem genre (类型) in which violence and sexism are major themes, "James wrote. Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel they had to conform to a stereotype that men should be "masterful and in charge" in relationships. "In mixed schools boys feel compelled to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means, " the study reported. 57. The author believes that a single-sex school would ____ . A) force boys to hide their emotions to be "real men" B) help to cultivate masculine aggressiveness in boys C) encourage boys to express their emotions more freely D) naturally reinforce in boys the traditional image of a man 58. It is commonly believed that in a mixed school boys _____ . A) Perform relatively better C) behave more responsibly B) grow up more healthily D) receive a better education 59. What does Tony Little say about the British education system?
