20、n October 5 as the news of Steven Jobs death spread worldwide. It was soon followed by a global outpouring of condolences. Shanghai was no 37 as thousands of people stopped by the local Apple stores to pay their 38 . Mourners left behind flowers, red apples, and notes of condolence吊唁as a tribute to
21、such a brilliant man.In , Steve gave the commencement speech at Stanford University in California. During this speech, Steve shared three stories from his life. The first story he called “connect the dots. He talked about a series of events in his life - his unlikely adoption, coming from a poor fam
22、ily, 39 out of college, collecting pop bottles for money, and taking a calligraphy class. Looking back on these seemingly 40 events, Steve realized that it was this path that led him to success. He encouraged people to follow their intuition and “trust that the dots will somehow connect in their fut
23、ure.In his second story, Steve shared his embarrassing experience of being 41 from Apple - the company he started.

25、and remember, as Steve once said, “the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.IV. Cloze (15%) Once upon a time，a king, in the company of his ministers, went to the imperial garden for a walk. When he was walking around a pond, a strange idea 46 upon hi
26、m and he asked, “How many buckets(桶) of water are there in the pond? The ministers looked at each other, 47 to give an answer.Rather disappointed, the king ordered, “You have three days grace. Anyone who offers an answer will be handsomely rewarded. Those who fail will be punished .The time limit wa
27、s due到期的in the twinkling of an eye, yet the ministers were still at their wits end. At this time a child appeared who declared that he knew the answer. The king told his 48 ministers to go with the child for the measurement. To their 49 , the child refused the suggestion with a smile, “It is very ea
28、sy. No 50 to go to the pond. This made the king laugh 51 , “All right, let us know what it is. The child blinked and said, “That 52 on the size of the bucket. If it is as big as the pond, there is one bucket of water; if it is 53 as big, two buckets; if one third as big, three buckets; if. “Stop! Th
29、ats it. Youve got the 54 . The king was satisfied and the child was rewarded as expected.Why did the ministers feel it so 55 to settle the problem? Because they fell in a trap, following a 56 way of thinking. Peoples thinking often goes a habitual way the beaten track of straightforwardness. It is a
30、 static (静态的) way presupposing every object definite and certain, i.e. the size of the pond and the bucket should be clearly 57 . If one of them is unknown, it will be difficult to do the measurement, let alone 58 . Why not change your mode of thought from static to dynamic动态的, from concrete to 59 ?
31、 If you adopt an indirect way and try to find out the proportional relation between the pond and the bucket, youll get an answer flexible yet adequate to solve the problem.Sometimes to get out of the difficulty one must change ones way of thinking, or simply change ones 60 to a problem.46Afixed Bfoc

Reading Comprehension (17%) ALife on land probably began about 430 million years ago, though it ha
34、s existed in the water for perhaps as much as 3,000 million years. When we think of the first thing on land, we probably think of strange animals coming out of the oceans, but in fact no animals could have been living if plants had not been on land first. Plants had to be on land before animals arri
35、ved. They supplied the first land animals with the surrounding and food necessity, since they, the plants, are the only form of life that is able to get and store energy.The first plants to exist out of the water were probably certain kinds of algae海藻which were followed by other plants that grew clo
36、se to the ground and needed water in which to reproduce. Once the move to land had been made, however, evolution进化took place quickly. By the end of 100 million years, plants had developed their roots, and some had got tree -like forms since height was very important in gaining sunlight. About 300 mi
37、llion years ago, much of the world was covered with forests of huge trees. In most ways they were like modern trees. They had roots, leaves, wood, but mostly they had not developed seeds.61. The main idea of the first paragraph is _.A. life on land probably began 430 years agoB. the first animal on
38、land came from oceansC. there wouldnt be animals without plantsD. plants are the only form of life that is able to get and store energy62.

Plants with roots appeared about _ million years ago.A. 430B. 300 C. 330 D. 10064. According to the passage, _ appeared earlier than _.A. apples; oranges B. oranges; applesC.
40、 oranges; rosesD. algae; wheatBSome people believe that international sport brings about good will between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: that international contests encourage false national pride and lead
41、 to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sport encourages international brotherhood. Not only was there the terrible incident with the murder of athletes, but the Games were also r
42、uined by those incidents caused mainly by minor national contests.One country received its second - place medal with great anger after the hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, the losers objecting to the final decisions. They were certain that one of their goals
43、should not have been dismissed and that the opposite sides victory was unfair. Their manager was angry when he said: “This wasnt hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Society are finished. The president of the society said later that such words could result in the pause of the team for at leas
44、t three years.The American basketball team announced that they would not give away first place to Russia, after a fighting end to their contest. The game had ended in quarrel. It was thought at first that the United States had won, by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play, A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another player beat it into the basket.
