    The world always makes way for the dreamer.
    When I was twelve years old, my father took me to see Zig Zigler. I remember sitting in that dark hall listening to Mr. Zigler  36  everyone’s spirits up to the ceiling, I  37  there feeling like I could do anything. When we got to the car, I turned to my father and said, “Dad, I want to  38  people feel like that.” My father asked me  39  I meant. “I want to be a motivational speaker just like Mr. Zigler,”  I replied. A（An） 40  was born.
    Recently, I began seeking my dream of motivating others.  41  a four-year relationship with Fortune 100 Company  42  as a sales-trainer and ending as a regional sales manager, I left the company at the height of my  43 . Many people were  44  that I would leave after earning a six-figure income. And they asked  45  I would risk everything for a dream.
    I made my  46  to start my own company and leave my worryingless position after  47  a regional sales meeting. The vice-president of our company delivered a  48  that changed my life. He asked us, “If a god would offer you three wishes, what would they be?” After giving us a  49  to write down the three wishes, he then asked us, “Why do you need a  50  ?” I would never forget the power I felt at that moment.

    III. 阅读  (共两节，满分40分)
    第一节：阅读理解(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
    阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
    In 1993, New York State ordered stores to charge a deposit on beverage (="drink)" containers. Within a year, consumers had returned millions of aluminum cans and glass and plastic bottles. Plenty of companies were eager to accept the aluminum and glass as raw material for new products, but because few could figure out what to do with the plastic, much of it wound end up buried in landfills(垃圾填埋场). The problem was not limited to New York. Unfortunately, there were too few uses for second-hand plastic.
    Today, one out of five plastic soda bottles is recycled in the United States. The reason for the change is that now there are dozens of companies across the country buying discarded plastic soda bottles and turning them into fence post, paint brushes, etc.
    As the New York experience shows, recycling involves more than simply separating valuable materials from the rest of the rubbish. A discard remains a discard unti1 somebody figures out how to give it a second life — and until economic arrangements exist to give that second life va1ue.Without adequate markets to absorb materials collected for recycling, throwaways actually depress prices for used materials.
    Shrinking landfill space and rising costs for burying and burning rubbish are forcing local governments to look more closely at recycling. In many areas, the East Coast especially, recycling is already the least expensive waste-management option. For every ton of waste recycled, a city avoids paying for its disposal, which, in parts of New York, amounts to savings of more than $100 per ton. Recycling also stimulates the local economy by creating jobs and reduces the pollution control and energy costs of industries that make recycled products by giving them a more refined raw material.
    1. What regulation was issued by New York State concerning beverage containers?
    A. A fee should be charged on used containers for recycling.
    B. Throwaways should be collected by the state for recycling.
    C. Consumers had to pay for beverage containers and could get their money back on returning them.
    D. Beverage companies should be responsible for collecting and reusing discarded plastic soda bottles.
    2. The returned plastic bottles in New York used to        .
    A. be turned into raw rnateria1s
    B. be separated from other rubbish
    C. have a second-life value
    D. end up somewhere underground
    3. The key problem in dealing with returned plastic beverage containers is         .
    A. how to reduce their recycling costs
    B. to sell them at a profitable price
    C. how to turn them into useful things
    D. to lower the prices for used materials
    4. Recycling has become the first choice for the disposal of rubbish because         .
    A. recycling causes litt1e pollution
    B. other methods are more expensive
    C. recycling has great appeal for the jobless
    D. local governments find it easy to manage
    5. It can be concluded from the passage that          .
    A.    recycling is to be recommended both economically and environmentally
    B. local governments in the U. S. can expect big profits from recycling
    C. rubbish is a potential remedy for the shortage of raw materials
    D. landfills will sti1l be widely used for waste disposal

    The fighting against youth smoking since I took office I’ve done everything in my power to protect our children from harm. We’ve worked to make their streets and their schools safer, and to give them something positive to do after school before their parents get home. We’ve worked to teach our children that drugs are dangerous, illegal and wrong.
    Today, I want to talk to you about the historic opportunity we now have to protect our nation’s children form an even more deadly threat: smoking. Smoking kills more people every day than AIDS, alcohol, car accidents, murders, suicides, drugs and fires combined. Nearly 90 percent of those smokers lit their first cigarette before they turned 18. Consider this: 3,000 children start to smoke every day illegally, and 1,000 of them will die sooner because of it. This is a national tragedy（悲剧）that every American should be honor-bound to help prevent. For more than five years we’ve worked to stop our children from smoking before they start, launching（发动）a nationwide campaign（运动）to educate them about the dangers of smoking, to reduce their access to tobacco products, and to severely restrict（限制）tobacco companies from advertising to young people. If we do these, we’ll cut teen smoking by almost half over the next five years. That means if we act now, we have it in our power to stop 3 million children from smoking and to save a million lives as a result.
    小题1:What has the author done in his power?

    Before coming to France， I always thought that French people wear formal clothes. But， when I arrived in Paris， I came to know why France could remain the lead in world fashion and Paris could attract so many designers from all over the world to come.
    On the boulevard of Champs-elysees， there are many fashion shops of famous brands， such as Chanel， Dior， Pierre Cardin. In daily life， however， most of Parisians never wear clothes like those on the super models. On the opposite， I found people in Paris often dress in very simple designs and usually in dark.
    Such situation doesn‘t affect French designers to create more and more new styles. But I would say people in Paris dress more formally than those in the rest of France. In other French cities， what people wear are usually casual dresses， such as T-shirts and jeans.
    French people act as the fashion leaders， but they accept other clothes styles as well. Montpellier， the city I live in， is in southern France near the Mediterranean Sea. Here are many immigrants（移民） from Algeria， Morocco and other African countries. The Arabian and African cultures are influential（有影响的） in this city. Therefore， you can find a lot of young people dress in the North African style.
    1. France could remain the lead in world fashion and Paris could attract so many designers from all over the world because             .
    A. French people never wear fashionable clothes
    B. French designers are creative
    C. French people accept fashionable clothes and other styles
    D. both B and C
    2. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？
    A. The majority of Parisians always wear formal clothes.
    B. Most of Parisians never wear fashionable clothes.
    C. Parisians usually wear casual dresses like T- shirts and jeans.
    D. Most Parisians often dress in simple designs and usually in dark.
    3. The underlined part “boulevard of Champs-elysees”possibly is             .
    A. a name of a famous street in Paris           B. a name of a famous person in Paris
    C. a name of a famous city in France           D. a name of a famous brand in France

    During my first stay in the south of France, I rode my bike down a quiet road. Round a corner, I passed by a little old house. In its yard, there was a ruddy (气色好的) -faced woman. I waved at her as I went by, and she must have thought I was some silly tourist, because she didn’t wave back.
    The same thing happened the second day. But on the third day, the old woman returned a tentative（试探性的）wave, and by the fourth day, she nearly got out of her chair as I called out.
    “Good morning, Madam!” It became a small ritual (程序) between us. Once she even brought her husband out with her, and they both waved to me.
    On my last day, my last ride, I cycled down to the little house but the lady wasn’t there. Back at my house, I told Roger, the gardener, of my missed connection.
    “The old lady has a bad leg,” Roger said, “so she has gone to the hospital for surgery.”
    “Who is she?” I asked.
    Roger started to explain: the quiet road used to be a railway. The old lady’ husband was once the stationmaster, and their house was the stationmaster’s house. Several times a day, whenever a train passed, the couple would see the passengers waving excitedly, especially the children for them. However, the station was moved away. Everything is gone except for this couple.
    It seems that my bicycle was a reminder of the past to her. As Roger said, “ She has missed the trains and the waves. You brought them back to her.”
    By reaching out, in a way that cost me nothing, I gave more than I realized.
    63Which of the following is TRUE?
    A. She was a ruddy-faced woman so she was healthy.
    B. Her husband also had leg disease but he didn’t tell others.
    C. She and her husband didn’t like to live in the station.
    D. Though she was a ruddy-faced woman, something was wrong with her leg.
    64Why did the old woman bring her husband out and waved to me?
    A. They wanted to go to the hospital.  
    B. They wanted to experience what they used to do.
    C. They wanted to ask me for dinner.   
    D. They wanted to go to the city by train.  
    65. What can we infer from the sentence “However, the station was moved away. Everything is gone except for this couple”?
    A. They enjoyed living where they had lived.      
    B. They had no house to live in.
    C. They had no children to live with.             
    D. They were living nearest the hospital.
    66. What’s the main idea of this passage?
    A. An old couple and I                 B. Bicycle and railway  
    C. Train and passengers                D. Wave and love

    I worked as a waitress for a few months. I was not a great waitress and I worked in a restaurant that served mostly older people who, however, have not learned that ten percent of their expense is no longer a tip that waitresses can live on – let alone a college student working hard for 20 hours a week!
    One night, when I was still working two hours after shift(轮班) was supposed to finish, all that I wanted was for my last table to clear out so I could clean and go home. My last customer caught me on her way out and asked if I had change for a twenty. I dug through my pocket and turned out my night’s earnings—a small amount of $14.
    She smiled at me and said, “That is enough.”
    My eyes were full of tears as I made the uneven(不等价的) exchange. “Thank you, ”I said in a low voice.
    I heard her little boy ask why she did that and she explained that I’d had a hard night and she just wanted to help me out. I even heard her words, “Reach out your hands when somebody needs help.” I noticed the little boy nodded his head. Not only did her kindness touch my hurried and tiring life, but she also taught her son an important lesson that night.
    I do not know her name, but I will always remember her.
    1. According to the passage, at that time the author was ___________.
    A. a full-time worker               B. still a college student
    C. a school-leaver                 D. a secretary in a big company
    2. Why did the woman want an uneven exchange?
    A. She was to thank the author for her service.
    B. She was in great need of change to buy a gift for her son
    C. She was only to teacher her son a lesson.
    D. She only wanted to give a hand to the author.
    3. What was the woman’s son’s attitude to what she did at last?
    A. Unbelievable.                  B. Acceptable.
    C. Disappointed.                  D. Amazed.
    4. What did the woman probably teach her son?
    A. To live a hard life.
    B. To give a waitress a more than 10% tip.
    C. To show kindness to those  who need help.
    D. To make an uneven change.
