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选项。
A jobless man applied for a job as an office boy at a big company. The HR manager interviewed him and then watched him cleaning the floor as a test.
“You are employed,” the HR manager said. “Give me your email address and I’ll send you the application to fill in, as well as the date when you may start.”
The man replied, “But I don’t have a computer or an email account.”
“I’m sorry,” said the HR manager. “We can’t accept persons who do not use email.”
The man left with no hope at all. With only ten dollars in his pocket, he decided to go to the supermarket and buy 10 kg tomatoes. He then sold the tomatoes from door to door. In less than two hours, he succeeded to double his capital. He repeated this three times, and returned home happily with 60 dollars.
The man realised that he could survive in this way, and started to go every day early, and return late. Thus, his money doubled or tripled every day. Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had his own delivery vehicles. Five years later, the man was one of the biggest food retailers (零售商人) in the US.
He started to plan his family’s future and decided to have a life insurance. He called an insurance broker(经纪人) and chose a protection plan.
When the conversation ended, the broker asked him his email address. The man replied, “I don’t have an email account.”
The broker answered surprisingly, “You don’t have an email account, but you have succeeded to build an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an email ” The man thought for a while and replied, “Yes, I’d be an office boy at a company!”

He is regarded as having one of the brightest minds on the planet.But outstanding astrophysicist (天体物理学家) Stephen Hawking has admitted that he did not learn to read until he was eight years old.
In a public lecture at the Royal Albert Hall,Professor Hawking also admitted that he was not active in studying while at Oxford University,where he studied physics,and that only the diagnosis that he might die young from motor neuron (神经元) disease made him concentrate on his work.
Professor Hawking said,“My sister Philippa could read by the age of 4 and she was definitely brighter than me.” He said that he was unexceptional at school and was never further than halfway up his class.“My classwork was very untidy,and my handwriting was the despair of my teachers,” he said.“But my classmates gave me the nickname Einstein,so presumably they saw signs of something better.”
But he said that it was when doctors told him that he probably only had a few years to live at the age of 21 that galvanised (刺激) him into focusing on his work and a period of productivity that resulted in some of his early breakthroughs.He said,“When you are faced with the possibility of an early death,it makes you realise that life is worth living and there are lots of things you want to do.”
25．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage
A．Stephen Hawking is the second Einstein in the world.
B．Stephen Hawking couldn’t read at the age of 7.
C．Stephen Hawking’s handwriting was once terribly bad.
D．Stephen Hawking’s sister once performed much better than him.
26．Which word can be used to describe Hawking when he studied at Oxford University
A．Clever. B．Lazy.
C．Ambitious. D．Mean.
27．From whom did Hawking get a relatively just respect when he was at school
A．His sister. B．His classmates.
C．His teachers. D．His parents.
28．What can we learn from the last paragraph
A．His life might be taken away by long hard work.
B．It was possible for Hawking to face the early death.
C．Stephen Hawking didn’t realise his dreams in physics.
D．The purpose of the doctor’s diagnosis was to encourage him to work hard.
Richard Daintree: December 13, 1832 — June 20,1878
A geologist and explorer who used photography as his medium to record field research, he was probably one of the first people to do so. He also discovered several coal-fields, gold-fields, and copper fields during his explorations. His photographs of these discoveries are an excellent source of information for researchers today. The Daintree rainforest, Daintree river, and Daintree National Park have all been named in his honour.
Headlie Taylor: July 7, 1883 — March 22, 1957
A farmer in New South Wales, Australia, he came up with the Sunshine Header Harvester that has benefited countless farmers over the decades. Though he was barely educated, Taylor had a brilliant mind that led him to try improving the existing farm machinery. With hard work and creation, he taught himself engineering, and built a machine that could not only collecet grains from standing crops, but also from damaged or fallen ones, thus saving grain that would otherwise be lost. This machine, or the “Header Harvester”, also cut the crop heads instead of pulling them out.
Howard Walter Florey: September 24, 1898 — February 21, 1968
He played a very significant role in the discovery of penicillin along with Alexander Fleming and Ernst Chain, for which he won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1945, which was shared by all of them.
Marcus Oliphant: October 8, 1901 — July 14, 2000
A physicist, the first President of the Australian Academy of Science, and a founding member of the Australian National University, he was a member of the team that split the atom. His work took him to America during World War Ⅱ, where he was involved in the creation and development of the atom bomb that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. After the bomb killed civilians in the two cities, he decided to never get involved in the development of nuclear weapons that could be used for military purposes. His work then focused around finding other, non-violent uses for atomic energy.
Dorothy Hill: September 10, 1907 — April 23, 1998
Apart from being a geologist, she was also the first female university professor in Australia. She widely researched the coral fauna (珊瑚动物群) in Australia, and even today, her work is used as reference by scientists all over the world.
29．What can we learn from the passage
A．Howard Walter Florey died before Headlie Taylor.
B．Richard Daintree was younger than Marcus Oliphant.
C．Dorothy Hill lives a happy life in Australia now.
D．Richard Daintree lived to the age of forty-six.
30．Who won the Nobel Prize

In Colonial days, farm families worked from sunrise to sunset and sometimes longer. People had little time for play. They did not have a chance to see other people as much as we do today. But sometimes they were able to turn hard work into good times and still visit with their neighbours.
In Virginia, Indian corn was an important crop. In late autumn after the weather had turned cold, the corn was ready to be harvested. Each ear had a cover of leaves called the husk (壳). The colonists pulled ears of corn from the dry stalks and stored the ears of corn. Later, they held a corn husking party.
On a clear night in November, neighbouring families gathered to husk (剥去……的壳) the corn. They lit lanterns in a barn and piled the corn in high mounds(垛) on the floor. Then everyone went to work.
Most of the corn was yellow or white. But from time to time, a red ear was found. The person who found it was supposed to have good luck.
As people worked together, they enjoyed each other’s company. There was cider to drink and cakes and cookies to eat. Corn husking was a favourite with boys and girls because they liked the chance to have a party.

Born in London on 28 November 1772, Luke Howard was interested in the weather from an early age 36 He was instead easily distracted (分心) by the clouds he could see through the window. He started his career as a pharmacist, producing and sending out medicines for people. 37 He soon became an amateur meteorologist (业余气象学者).
In 1802, Howard presented his research in a lecture to the Askesian Society, a club for people who were interested in science. At this point, meteorology hadn't progressed as much as other sciences, because it was difficult to take observations when the weather was always changing. To take his observations, Howard did sketches (草图) of the clouds as they moved and changed in the sky. 38
Howard suggested that although the shapes of clouds were changing, there were three basic types of clouds in the sky, to which he gave Latin names. 39 . The second was“cumulus”, meaning heap (一堆) or pile. And the third was “stratus”, meaning layer or sheet. He also introduced four other cloud types to recognize the changing clouds when they are joining together or breaking apart. In 1803, he published his research in a paper called “On the Modifications of Clouds”.
After the publication of Howard's research, the field of meteorology continued to develop. Scientists now have a much greater understanding of weather patterns (模式) all around the world. 40 Professor Liz Bentley, Chief Executive of the Royal Meteorological Society, said, “His scientific work helped us understand our climate.”
A．There are now 10 types of clouds.
B．But his true passion was meteorology.
C．But it was Howard's work that started it all.
D．He couldn't stay focused when he was at school.
E．This helped him to recognize the forms we know today.
F．Howard's findings also inspired the artist John Constable.
G．The first was called “cirrus”, which means tendril or hair in Latin.

In memory of Marie Curie on her birthday on Saturday, the official website of the Nobel Prize posted a photograph of her notebook 41 , “Marie Curie died of a plastic anaemia (再生障碍性贫血) on 4 July1934, a result of years of exposure to radiation through her work. And even today her laboratory notebook from 1899-1902, is 42 and will be for 1,500 years.”

Marie and her contemporary scientists dealt with radioactive substances for decades almost with no 47 .
Marie’s death is a reminder about the risks pioneers in science 48 . It was only after people handling radioactive substances began to get similar 49 that medical experts asked people to use protection. Today, medical health workers and patients wear heavy protective 50 during X- rays.
It is almost 51 that those exploring new frontiers for science are exposing themselves to unknown dangers. There is a(n) 52 for better protection for the pioneers, but that is not possible until the dangers are fully known. For example, the space suits astronauts wear protect them against radiation. However, only 53 will tell if there are some other unknown dangers.
The contributions and sacrifices by such pioneers to the field of science are 54 and deserving of our respect. Because the pioneers not only 55 new frontiers, but also help us better protect ourselves from unknown surroundings.

Miguel opened the door to his grandpa’s shoe shop. Grandpa was drawing a customer’s foot onto a piece of paper. He didn’t look up. Miguel sat down. He looked at the cut leather, hammer (锤子) and pliers (钳子).
The tools reminded Miguel of something else he loved. Grandpa always gave him a piece of candy whenever Miguel helped clean up. Miguel knew he wasn’t supposed to take candy without asking. But he was hungry then. It looked like Grandpa would be busy for a while. “Maybe I don’t need to wait,” Miguel thought.
Miguel reached secretly for the candy box. He hurried and put it in his mouth. Pretty soon the customer left. Grandpa was busy picking up a piece of leather and putting it in some water. Miguel ate the rest of the candy as fast as he could. Then he walked over to Grandpa.
Grandpa looked up from his work. “Hello!” he said with a smile. Miguel hugged Grandpa. He hoped Grandpa couldn’t tell he’d eaten a piece of candy. “It looks like you’re busy today,” Miguel said. “Do you need any help ” “Sure! Could you pass me that thread (线) ” Miguel nodded. He pulled it between his hands. “Wow, that’s strong.” Miguel said. Grandpa laughed, “It has to be, to last through the wear and tear of life.” Grandpa pulled the thread through the leather.
“You know, we need to be more like this shoe,” Grandpa said. Miguel looked at the leather, “Um. We do ” “Yes, indeed. We need to stay strong. That way temptations (诱惑) won’t make us fall apart,” Grandpa said with a nod.
Miguel suddenly thought of the candy. He knew he should tell Grandpa about it. Grandpa took an old shoe off the shelf, “See this big hole ” Miguel nodded. “This was once a small hole that could have been fixed easily. But the owner waited, and now it’s going to be much harder to fix. Bad habits and bad choices are like that hole. It is best to fix them early.”Paragraph 1:
They kept talking as Grandpa worked.

Paragraph 2:
Miguel told him all about taking the candy. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

66．范文
The summer holiday is coming. Our classmates have had a discussion about what to do during the holiday.
Some are in favour of staying at home. They think they can have a good rest and stay with families at home, which is comfortable. And staying at home costs little so they can save money. But people staying at home will lose the chance to get to know the outside world.
However, others prefer to go out for travelling since it can deepen their knowledge and broaden their horizons when they enjoy the scenery and relax. But they will spend much money and may encounter some inconveniences while travelling.
In my opinion, it would be much better to stay at home for I can do what I like, such as reading books, watching TV, and helping my parents with the housework. So I would like to stay at home.
67．One possible version:
They kept talking as Grandpa worked. The whole time, Miguel kept thinking about the candy. When Grandpa finished, Miguel helped him clean up. Then Grandpa reached for his box of candy as usual. Finally, Miguel couldn’t take it anymore. “I took one piece of your candy without asking,” he said and hung his head in shame. Grandpa set down the box in surprise and wondered what had actually happened.Miguel told him all about taking the candy. “I’m so sorry, Grandpa! I’ll never do it again. I promise!” Grandpa hugged Miguel and kissed him lovingly. Miguel felt so much better. “Thank you for being honest. That’s more important to me than just about anything else.” On the way home, Miguel felt just like one of Grandpa’s new pairs of shoes, strong and ready for life.
