Part 3 Reading and Writing (第三部分读与写)

IX. Reading Comprehension (阅读理解)：(共50分)

A) Choose the best answer (根据文章内容，选择最恰当的答案)：(12分)

Today, I want to tell you some stories from my life. The first story is about connecting the dots(小圆点）. Reed College, the college I attended, offered perhaps the best calligraphy lessons in the country. Calligraphy was attractive to me, so I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I didn’t hope for any real use of this in my life. It was just a hoppy. But ten years, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me.

You might be very confused about the meaning of what you are doing now. But you have to believe the dots will somehow connect in the future. Every effort you make is worth the price. It will pay off in the end. This belief has never let me down, and it has made all the differences in my life.

My second story is about love and loss. Woz and I started Apple in a garage when I was 20. But later, I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, it just happened. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was so hard for me.

But it turned out to be the best thing that could have ever happed to me. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.

I'm pretty sure if I hadn't been fired from Apple, I wouldn’t become who I am now. The loss completed me. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith. What’s more, you have to find out what you love. The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. You’ll know when you find it.

69. Jobs told us ________stories in the passage.

A. One

B. Two

A. Jobs was interested in calligraphy when he was at college.

B. When Jobs designed the first computer many years later, he used his calligraphy.

C. It was just a hobby for Jobs to learn the calligraphy.

D. Jobs wanted to be an artist when he was young.

71. Jobs believes ________.

A. Every effort we make is worth the price

B. What we are doing is probably useless

C. The thing we’re doing may not pay off

D. The dots will never connect in the future

72. The belief has never made Jobs _______.

A. Satisfied

B. Pleased

C. Happy

D. Sad

73. The underlined word “brick” in the last paragraph probably means ________.

A. Something soft

B. Something hard

C. Something light

D. Something different

A. Jobs started the Apple company in a garage when he was 20 with Woz.

B. After Jobs left the Apple company, he got the greatest success in his life.

C. Jobs doesn’t think the only way to do great work is to love what you do.

D. Jobs thinks sometimes the loss of a job isn’t really bad.

B. Choose the words or expressions to complete the passage (选择最恰当的单词或词语，完成短文)：(12分)

Make the skies blue

THE streets of Dalian, Liaoning were covered by snow a week before Spring Festival. However, instead of staying at home, Li Chunyuan, a Junior 1 student at No 42 Middle School, went out with her classmates. They made posters by t 81 and called on people not to set off fireworks.

The student did this in order to r 82 air pollution. Since January, many cities in china have seen a lot of foggy days. In Beijing, only five days in January were free of smog (雾霾)。

An official for the Ministry of Environment Protection told Beijing News that PM2.5 pollution is the m 83 problem with air pollution.

Poor air has done harm to people’s health. Children and the elderly are more at risk. A report from Beijing Childr en’s Hospital shows that half of the p 84 had respiratory (呼吸道的)problem s from Jan.5 to 11.

To respond to the air problem, the Chinese government and many Chinese people have started to take action. Beijing announced a plan to use clean fuel in government vehicles and plant trees. It a 85 asked citizenship to set off fewer fireworks for the Spring Festival celebrations.

They suggested that cars with l arge emissions （排放）should be banned（禁止）and factories should be closely watched. Three students from No.4 High School in Beijing wrote a report to advise h 86 ___ to fight the air pollution.

“ We hope more people will j 87 us to protect our environment. With all efforts, the blue skies will certainly return soon,” said Shi yucong, one of the three students.

As it’s coming to the end of the year, Feng Qianhui, 16, from the High School Affiliated to Beijing Normal University, is quite busy. She is thinking about getting more students to her club –the Daylight Short Film Club.

Feng actually needn’t worry too much. When she started the club in the June, it immediately got 60 junior and senior high school students.

They spent the summer vocation making a 12-minute short film, Jealousy(嫉妒).The film is about a friendship between two girls which was affected by jealousy. When it was put online, the film got more than 10,000 hits within a month.

Though we are students, we can make good films,”Feng said. “our films show students’points of views which may resonate(产生共鸣) with viewers.”

Many schools in Beijing have created “fashionable” clubs like this one. There are rock music clubs , medical herb(药草)clubs and a club for the traditional costume of the Han ethic group(汉服) and so on. Compared to the traditional clubs, these new ones are more fun and get their members active.

Qi Yiyang,15,is a member of the co splay (角色扮演) club at Beijing No.3 Middle School. The club was set up last year. She says she is so glad that she finally has a place to develop her interest and relax.

When taking part in a co splay activity, Li sometimes spends hours doing her make-up(化妆) and usually stands for nearly the whole day with a heavy costume on.

“But it’s exciting to dress exactly like my favorite cartoon characters,” Li said, “It makes me forget all my trou bles.”

88. Does Feng Qianhui want to get more students to the Daylight Short Film Club?

89. When did Feng Qianhui and her team make a 12-minute short film?

90. Why are these good short films welcomed among students?
