第二部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2.5分，满分50分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳答案。
A
I was reading these interesting stories behind a group of great logos in the world. Personally Nike is my favorite one – it’s so simple. And I liked the stories behind them, which made me forget all other things. McDonald’s, Apple, Mercedes Benz and Adidas own great logos as well, and they are among my favorites.
Nike
In the Greek myth, Nike is the goddess of victory and the source of inspiration for soldiers. This logo represents the wing in the famous statue of the Greek goddess. Nike’s logo was designed by Carolyn Davidson in 1971 for $ 35, and was registered as a trademark in 1995.
McDonald’s
The logo was designed in 1962 by Jim Schindler to resemble the arch shaped(拱形的) signs on the side of the company’s then walk-up hamburger stand. Later on, the two golden arches were combined together to form the M. The McDonald’s name was added to the logo in 1968. Apple
There are different stories behind Apple’s logo. The first logo was a reference to the religious story of Adam and Eve, in which the apple represented the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. One year later, the second logo was designed in 1977 by Steve Jobs and Ronald Wayne, and it described Sir Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree. This logo didn’t stay long. One year later it was replaced almost immediately by graphic designer Rob Janoff’s ―rainbow apple‖, a rainbow-colored silhouette(轮廓) of an apple with a bite taken out of it. And then the rainbow-colored apple was replaced by the one-colored logo in 1998. It has not been changed so far.
Mercedes Benz
The Mercedes Benz logo, which was originally created by Gottlieb Daimler in 1909, consists of a simple description of a three-pointed star that represents its rule of the land, the sea and the air. The company was founded by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach. Mercedes is the name of Maybach’s elder daughter, while Benz came as a result of a combination with Benz & Cie and DMG in 1926.
Adidas
The Adidas logo, which was created by the founder of the company Adi Dassler, represents
mountains, pointing towards the challenges that are seen ahead and goals that can be achieved. The logo was used for the first time in 1967.
51. What does the author think of the stories of the great logos? A. They are boring. C. They are attractive. 52. What does Nike’s logo stand for?
A. The goddess of victory. B. The source of inspiration for soldiers. C. The statue of the Greek goddess. D. The wing of the Greek goddess. 53. We can learn that Apple’s present logo is ______.
A. the religious story of Adam and Eve B. a bitten apple with only one color C. Newton’s sitting under an apple tree D. the rainbow-colored bitten apple 54. ______ stands for the rule of the land, the sea and the air.
A. Nike’s logo B. Apple’s logo C. The Mercedes logo D. The Adidas logo 55. Which of the following time orders describes the births of the great logos? A. Mercedes Benz –McDonald’s – Nike – Apple. B. Nike – McDonald’s – Apple – Mercedes Benz. C. McDonald’s – Apple – Nike – Mercedes Benz. D. Nike – Mercedes Benz – McDonald’s – Apple.
B
I once had a friend that was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and the news that he might only live up to six months was a great shock to him, his family, and his friends. However, in spite of the serious illness, he was initially determined to look into all available treatments that might cure or extend his life. I think that when you find yourself in such situations, you tend to look up every possible way for hope of saving your life.
As months went on and his health grew worse, I noticed an unexpected change in attitude that came over him. He had also been a happy person with a cheerful personality, but rather than give in to discouragement and self-pity, he took comfort in God and humanity. His talks focused on others rather than himself, and he spoke of the afterlife as something he was prepared for,
B. They are out of date. D. They are practical.
believing that his concerned ancestors, including his mother and father, were there waiting for him.
During the last few months, weeks, and days of his life, he was kindly cared for by family, friends, his loving wife, who looked after both his physical and emotional needs, and workers from a local hospice (安养院) came to the home to regulate his medication and provide any other needed support. He didn't complain about his fate, and he willingly allowed others to serve him.
Indeed, one might think why God allows death and suffering in our world, but for me, such experiences taught me to value family more and kindness for others. You often can't learn these important attributes（属性） in the lap of luxury（优裕舒适的环境）, and perhaps, such an experience is the greatest and final gift the illness can give those left behind.
56. Which word can best describe the man's initial reaction as soon as he was diagnosed with cancer?
A. Satisfied.
B. Shocked.
C. Terrified.
D. Confused.
57. What did the man do after he first learned of his illness? A. He was operated on immediately.
B. He retired from his job. D. He felt sad, doing nothing.
C. He researched cancer treatments.
58. What was the man's main source of comfort after several months with the disease? A. His family and friends. C. His doctors’ encouragement.
B. The care from others. D. His belief in humanity.
59. What did the author learn from his friend’s story? A. Giving more respect to the family and friends. C. Caring for yourself and enjoying luxury. 60. What does the author mainly want to tell?
A. All people will face death, and thus, we must prepare for it spiritually. B. Our characters can be strengthened by such an unpleasant situation. C. Families provide the best support system during such a crisis. D. People should help those who have got serious illness.
C
B. Extending life as possible. D. Getting comfort from God.
As you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.
Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it
is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them. Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year.
One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He
was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs, leaving their two children with a nanny. Most evenings Daniel wouldn’t get home until eight or nine o’clock and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.
Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. ―I always wanted to have a farm then,‖ says Daniel, ―and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. It’s taken some time getting used to, but it’s been worth it. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think it’s made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.
Liz, however, is not quite sure. ―I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. I’m not really a country girl, but I suppose I’m gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.‖ 61. The passage tells us that . A. people seldom work long hours to make money B. people hardly buy more things than necessary
C. people are sure everything they own is in the right place D. people realize there is more to life than just making money 62. When Daniel was a reporter he .
A. was well paid C. missed his children
B. disliked his job
D. lived in central London
63. Daniel and Liz both agree that the move to the farm .
A. was easy to organize C. was extremely expensive
B. has improved family life D. has been a total success
64. What does the author mean by saying ―the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives‖ in the second paragraph?
A. People work long hours to earn their living.
B. To make more money through hard work is the aim of people’s life. C. People spent too much time and money eating meals. D. Long hours of hard work occupy too much of people’s life.
65. The underlined word ―downshifting‖ in the second paragraph refers to _______.
A. repairing your car by yourself B. spending money carefully
C. moving out to the countryside to live a simpler and better life D. living in a big house in the suburbs but working somewhere else
D
Leadership is the most significant word in today’s competitive business environment because it directs the manager of a business to focus inward on their personal abilities and style. Experts on leadership will quickly point out that ―how things get done‖ influences the success of the outcomes and indicates a right way and a wrong way to do things. When a noted leader on the art of management, Peter Drucker, coined the phrase ―Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things,‖ he was seeking to clarify the distinctions he associates with the terms.
When Stephen Covey, founder and director of the Leadership Institute, explored leadership styles in the past decade, he focused on the habits of a great number of highly effective individuals.
His Seven Habits of Highly Effective People became a popular bestseller very quickly. His ideas forced a reexamination of the early leadership example, which centered on the feature that was found in the character ethic and the personality ethic. The former ethic suggested success was founded on modesty, loyalty, courage, patience, and so on. The personality ethic suggested it was one’s attitude, not behavior, that inspired success, and this ethic was founded on a belief of positive mental attitude. In contrast to each of these ideas, Covey advocates that leaders need to understand universal principles of effectiveness, and he highlights how vital it is for leaders to first personally manage themselves if they are to enjoy any hope of outstanding success in their work environments. To achieve a desired vision for your business, it is essential that you have a personal vision of where you are headed and what you value. Business leadership means that managers need to ―put first things first,‖ which implies that before leading others, you need to be clear on your own values, abilities, and strengths and be seen as trustworthy.
66. What does Peter Drucker’s phrase infer?
A. Leaders should be good at making right decisions. B. Leaders should be good at doing things right.
C. Leaders should be good at ignoring the distinctions he associates with the terms. D. Leaders should be skilled in predicting future.
67. Under what condition are people likely to succeed, in terms of what the personality ethic suggests?
A. When people have little determination, they will be successful. B. When people have good behaviour, they will gain success. C. If people have positive mental attitude, they are likely to succeed. D. If people have negative mental attitude, they are certain to succeed.
68. How can leaders enjoy outstanding success in their work environments, according to Stephen Covey?
A. Firstly they have to think highly of themselves.
B. They are supposed to benefit themselves. C. They cannot adjust themselves.
D. First personally they must manage themselves. 69. What is the meaning of the underlined word ―vision‖?
A. Bright future. B. Good beginning. C. Good scenery. D. Pretty background. 70. To be good leaders, what must managers pay close attention to? A. They must pay close attention to universal principles of effectiveness. B. They must pay close attention to their own values, abilities and strengths. C. They must pay close attention to modesty.
D. They must be concerned about courage and patience.

英 语 试 卷 第Ⅱ卷
第三部分：写作
第一节：阅读表达 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。
I've seen people do all kinds of things to relieve anxiety. Some have a glass of wine at dinner. Others shop or eat. But these are troubling times—with hurricanes, tsunamis, war, and acts of terrorism—and if drinking, eating, or hitting the mall is your way of fending off anxiety over the state of the world, you should know that the bill will eventually come due. And I don't mean just the credit card statement. Such coping methods do nothing to build your inner strength and
resiliency. Fortunately, there are ways to nurture true inner peace when outer peace isn't an option.
A few months ago, a woman I'll call Nancy attended one of my seminars. Nancy had been through hard times: Three years earlier her house had burned down; then her husband's National Guard unit shipped out to Iraq, and when he returned he was angry and depressed. The couple got treatment yet grew further apart until, finally, her husband asked for a divorce. Nancy realized she had a choice: She could drown in self-pity or move forward. After seeing how the trauma of war had torn up her husband, she wanted to make a difference with her life. So, at 35, she enrolled in nursing school.
I think even Nancy was surprised by her resilience. But her leap into a life of greater meaning came from a simple change in outlook. She shifted her focus from her own problems to the difficulties of others. And that one change brought her clarity and peace.
This time of global uncertainty challenges each of us to create our own sense of security. That doesn't mean you need to follow Nancy's lead into a nursing career, but keeping an eye on what really matters will help you maintain your balance when things around you seem to fall apart.
71. What does the underlined ―hitting the mall‖ in the first paragraph mean?
(No more than 3 words)
72. How did Nancy's husband feel when he returned? (No more than 6 words) 73. What choice did Nancy make after her husband asked for a divorce?
(No more than 13 words)
74. How should we relieve our anxiety according to the writer? (No more than 15 words) 75. Do you think that a touch of anxiety can have a positive effect? And why? (No more than 25 words) 第二节 书面表达 (满分25分)

六、书面表达: (有点长，只作参考）
We have had a heated discussion about whether to go to college overseas or at home, and views vary from person to person.
Some students consider it a good opportunity to finish their higher education in some world famous universities in western countries. Not only can they enjoy the beautiful environment in those schools but also they can achieve practical skills and knowledge. Apart from all these, they can get working experience while at school, which the students need most. But the problem is that the cost is too much and most of the families cannot afford it.
However, others believe that it is better to study in universities in China. Recently many new universities have been set up in our country where you can find a more familiar environment and advanced equipment as well. Though the students are not given many practice chances and it may take time for them to find a good job after graduation, the tuition / fee is quite affordable. As far as I am concerned, I will choose a Chinese university to go to. I don’t feel comfortable if I give my parents to much financial trouble. So long as I can finish the required courses, I believe I’m sure to find an ideal job.
