    Have you ever heard the old saying, “Never judge a book by its cover.”? This is a good rule to follow when trying to judge the intelligence of others. Some people have minds that shine only in certain situations. A young man with an unusual gift in writing may find himself speechless before a pretty girl when he speaks. He may not be able to find the right words. But don’t make the mistake of thinking him stupid. With a pen and paper, he can express himself better than anybody else.
    Other people may fool you into overestimating(过高估计) their intelligence by putting up a good front. A student who listens attentively and takes notes in class is bound to (一定会) make a favourable impression on his teachers. But when it comes to exams, he may score near the bottom of the class.
    In a word, you can’t judge someone by appearance. The only way to determine a person’s intelligence is to get to know him. Then you can see how he reacts to different situations. The more situations you see, the better your judgment is likely to be. So take your time. Don’t judge a book by its cover.
    【小题1】 The passage suggests that ______.

    A．a good writer may not be a good speaker
    B．a good writer is always a good speaker
    C．a speechless person always writes well
    D．a good writer will find himself speechless
    【小题2】 According to this passage, a student who listens attentively and takes notes
    in class ______.
    A．is an intelligent student
    B．may not be an intelligent student
    C．will score better in exams
    D．will not be a good student
    【小题3】 The passage suggests that we should judge a per-son’s intelligence through
    ______.
    A．his teachers
    B．his deeds in the classroom
    C．his appearance
    D．his reactions to different situations
    【小题4】 The writer of this passage wants to tell us not to______.
    A．judge a book by its cover
    B．make the mistake of thinking a young man stupid
    C．overestimate a student’s intelligence
    D．judge a person’s intelligence by his appearance

    There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have generally viewed personal growth as a result or product that can easily be identified (识别) and measured. The worker who gets a rise, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language—all these are examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts.
    By contrast, the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way. The process is not the road itself, but rather the attitudes and feelings people have, their caution or courage, as they meet with new experiences and unexpected obstacles (障碍). In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept.
    In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to face the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first. How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is extremely important to our ability to grow. Do we notice ourselves as quick and curious? If so, then we tend to take more chances and to be more open to unfamiliar experiences. Do we think we’re shy and indecisive? Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and we think we’re slow to adapt to change or that we’re not smart enough to deal with a new challenge. Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all.
    These feelings of insecurity (无把握) and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow. If we protect ourselves too much, then we stop growing. We become trapped inside a shell of our own making.
    【小题1】Which of the following can be viewed as the process of personal growing? 

    A．Helen was always willing to accept challenges.
    B．Jane won the first prize in the speech competition.
    C．Jerry picked up French during his stay in Paris.
    D．Father’s salary rose from 5,000 to 7,000.
    【小题2】For personal growth, the writer is in favor of ________.
    A．being cautious(谨慎的) with changes
    B．having little interest in new things
    C．staying away from failures and challenges
    D．having an open mind to new experiences
    【小题3】How do you understand the last sentence of this passage? 
    A．We are trapped and injured.
    B．Our body is trapped and stops growing.
    C．We get stuck in what we are doing and can not achieve real growth.
    D．We can’t protect ourselves and are trapped by others.
    【小题4】Which of the following would be the best title for the text? 
    A．Facing New ChallengesB．Growth—Product or Process
    C．Two Basic Ways of GrowthD．Overcoming Fears

    I left university with a good degree in English Literature, but no sense of what I wanted to do. Over the next six years, I was treading water, just trying to earn an income. I tried journalism, but I didn’t think I was any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull.
    I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel Writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55,000 words.
    It takes confidence to make a new start—there’s a dark period in-between where you’re neither one thing nor the other. You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you’re too ashamed to say, “Well, I’m writing a novel, but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there.” My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside.
    Then I met an agent(代理商) who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel.
    The next problem was finding a publisher. After two-and-a-half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal—that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.
    It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck—of fate, really. When you set out to do something different, there’s no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract(合同)of the publisher—to be a published writer—is unbelievably rewarding(有回报的).
    【小题1】What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?

    A．I was waiting for good fortune.
    B．I was trying to find an admirable job.
    C．I was being aimless about a suitable job.
    D．I was doing several jobs for more pay at a time.
    【小题2】The author decided to write a novel              .
    A．to finish the writing courseB．to realize her own dream
    C．to satisfy readers’ wishD．to earn more money
    【小题3】How did the writer feel halfway with the novel?
    A．Disturbed.B．Ashamed.C．Confident.D．Uncertain.
    【小题4】What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph?
    A．It pays to stick to one’s goal.
    B．Hard work can lead to success.
    C．She feels like being unexpectedly lucky.
    D．There is no end in sight when starting to do something.

    （三）
    A
    I recently spent two years in the Arctic filming the series Blue Planet. I love being in an environment that hasn't changed for 20,000 years. Of course it's freezing, but it must be a healthy place because you never catch colds.
    When I'm filming, I like to really feel how lonely the environment is. Filming underwater involves cutting through thick ice and diving in tied to a line. The person at the other end has to be ready to pull you out fast if necessary.
    Originally I was a research diver for the British Antarctic Survey project, but for me science lacked excitement. I'd always enjoyed photography, and whenever camera teams passed through, they encouraged me to watch and learn. I was then able to move into filming in 1985 and have concentrated on Arctic and Antarctic wildlife ever since.
    I prefer to be faced with the animals I'm filming. I haven't got in the water with killer whales yet, but I plan to. Of course, it's dangerous if you choose the wrong moment. They're big animals and can move fast, so I'd be stupid to film them searching for food!
    I've never had problems with polar bears, although once I was frightened when one tried to get into my tent. Polar bears are bold, clever and dangerous. But I made this one see I wasn't about to attack it - I'm sure it realised I wouldn't hurt it.
    When I come home back from my trips, I work in the mornings and spend the afternoons swimming to keep fit. Now I'm fifty, filming is harder. The challenge for me is to continue to deliver high-quality work.
    56. In this text, the writer is describing __________.
    A. the challenges of the environment he works in       B. the beautiful scenery of the Arctic
    C. the career opportunities in TV camera work.  　　D. the difficulties of having to work alone
    57. What does the writer say about his early career?
    A. He was bored by working only in Antarctic.
    B. It taught him how to become a skilled diver.
    C. He wasted the years he spent as a scientist.
    D. It provided him with a chance to learn about filming.
    58. When talking about killer whales, the writer says that __________.
    A. he has always been careful when diving with them
    B. he tries to avoid any danger by facing them
    C. he will only film them from a safe distance
    D. he believes there are safe opportunities to film them
    59. How does the writer describe his experience with a polar bear?
    A. The writer realized he was wrong to trust polar bears.
    B. The writer felt nervous that the bear might come back.
    C. The bear seemed to know the writer wasn’t a danger.
    D. The animal was much more afraid than the writer was.

    Maybe it is true that we do not know what we have got until we lose it, but it is also true that we do not know what we have been missing until it arrives.
    It takes an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Do not expect love in return; but if it does not, be content it has grown in yours. Do not rely on one’s appearance; it can trick you. Do not rely on wealth; even that fades away. Rely on someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
    There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them. Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
    The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past. You cannot go on well in life until you let your past failures and heartaches go off. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trails to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy. The happiest of people do not necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness waits for those who cry, those appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives. Always put yourself in others’ shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too.
    When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you are the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.
