"Everything happens for the best, "my mother said whenever I faced disappointment, "If you 36 on, something good will happen some day."
Mother was right, as I discovered after graduating from college. I had   37  myself for a sports announcer. So I went to Chicago to knock on the door of every station and was 38  every time. In one station, a kind lady told me that 39  stations wouldn't employ a person without   40 since I had just graduated. "Go out in the town and find a small station that might give you a chance, "she said.
I returned to Dixon, where I had finished my high school education and had  41  in the school football team. My father said that our town had built a store and wanted a man to manage its sports department. The job sounded just 42   for me but I wasn't hired.
My disappointment had 43  as if by design. "Everything happens for the best," Mum  44  me. Dad lent me his car to look for a job. I tried WOC Radio Davenport. The program director told me they had already hired an announcer.  45 I left his office, I asked aloud,"  46 can a fellow get to be a sports announcer if he can't get a job in a radio station?" Suddenly, I heard the director  47  . "Do you know anything about football? " Then he asked me to 48  an imaginary game. It was easy, and I did it without difficulty. The director was 49  and told me I would be broadcasting a game on the   50  Saturday.

解析試題分析：本文通過(guò)“我”求職經(jīng)過(guò)體現(xiàn)媽媽的話：Everything happens for the best. 大學(xué)剛畢業(yè)的“我”滿以為會(huì)在 Chicago 能找到一份體育播音員的工作，但處處碰壁，最后經(jīng)過(guò)一位好心人的指點(diǎn)回到上中學(xué)時(shí)的小鎮(zhèn)，不過(guò)工作還是不好找。正當(dāng)“我”因處處碰壁而大聲發(fā)泄，“就連一份電臺(tái)工作都找不到又怎么會(huì)當(dāng)體育播音員呢？”正因?yàn)檫@次發(fā)泄結(jié)果被一電臺(tái)主任聽到并因“我”擅長(zhǎng)體育而雇傭“我”做解說(shuō)員。
【小題1】從前面的每當(dāng)“我”面對(duì)失望時(shí)總是想到媽媽說(shuō)的那句話及后面所舉的“我”大學(xué)畢業(yè)后找工作的例子來(lái)看，只要繼續(xù)(堅(jiān)持)，總有一天會(huì)有好結(jié)果。carry on 意為“繼續(xù)”。選D
【小題2】從下文來(lái)看，“我”想找一份體育播音員的工作。design 在此意為“意欲，打算”。design sb for… 指的是“打算當(dāng) / 做……”。選B
【小題3】從后文來(lái)看，在這個(gè)城市里是找不到工作的(有那位婦女的話佐證)，即“我”到每家電臺(tái)求職，結(jié)果是每次都被“拒絕”了。選C。
【小題4】從后面的 since I just graduated 可知，“我”大學(xué)剛畢業(yè)，沒(méi)有經(jīng)驗(yàn)，而那位 lady 說(shuō)的話正是“在 Chicago 大電視臺(tái)是不會(huì)雇傭沒(méi)有經(jīng)驗(yàn)的人的”。選A。
【小題5】那位 lady 的話的意思是“一些小城鎮(zhèn)的電臺(tái)也許會(huì)雇傭像你這樣的沒(méi)有經(jīng)驗(yàn)的人”，選A。
【小題6】 “我”接受了她的建議，回到了讀中學(xué)的 Dixon 鎮(zhèn)。從后面的 in the school football team 及“我”的愛(ài)好可推測(cè)，“我”上中學(xué)時(shí)曾在校足球隊(duì)踢球，故用 play。選A。
【小題7】前面說(shuō)“我”想找體育播音員的工作，“我”又有高中體育隊(duì)的經(jīng)驗(yàn)，因此聽起來(lái)這個(gè)工作很適合“我”。right 在此意為“合適”，be right for sb 為“適合某人”。選C。
【小題8】“我”找工作接連受挫，“我”的失望似乎是故意地展現(xiàn)出來(lái)。用show，選. 選A。
【小題9】從一開始就提到媽媽的這句話，現(xiàn)在當(dāng)媽媽看到“我”臉上的表情及了解到找工作接連受挫時(shí)，媽媽又拿出了這句話來(lái)提醒“我”，讓“我”堅(jiān)持下去。選D。
【小題10】從前面 I tried WOC Radio Davenport 及下文的 I left his office, 可知是在我離開辦公室后。選B。
【小題11】從那位主任辦公室走出來(lái)后，“我”因找不到工作非常苦悶，于是大聲喊叫以發(fā)泄。從結(jié)構(gòu)來(lái)看，此空應(yīng)用 how，句意為：如果在電臺(tái)的工作都找不到，那他怎會(huì)做體育播音員呢？選B。
【小題12】從前面來(lái)看，好像這次求職又失敗，于是“我”大聲喊叫發(fā)泄一通，用calling，選A。
【小題13】該題可從后面的 …told me I would be broadcasting a game on the… 得到啟發(fā)。選C。
【小題14】從語(yǔ)境來(lái)看，主任直接讓“我”播在周六的比賽，可見(jiàn)他對(duì)“我”很滿意。選D。
【小題15】從 …told me I would be broadcasting a game… 等來(lái)看，這場(chǎng)比賽將在下個(gè)周六舉行，故用 the coming Saturday. 選B。

A Man Named Lawrence

This is an act of kindness that happened to me one Sunday morning.

It was at two o’clock in the morning. We just came out of a club and were trying to find our   36   back to our city. As we were trying to   37   the bus stop, a man came to us and said he would show us   38   it was. Although we were a little   39  , we had no choice but follow him. He told us he was a homeless man and that his name was Lawrence.

When we passed some city workers   40  the streets, they sprayed (噴濺) the homeless man. Lawrence told us that they always sprayed the   41   if they were "in the way". I didn’t know why they would do that. They were human beings,   42  , not cattle or objects.

This man had just gotten   43  in the middle of a cold night, but  44  shouting at the workers, he asked them, "How would you   45  if your father or grandfather were treated like this?" He then told us, "It’s   46  use shouting at them, because they just get angry. You’re better off saying something from the   47  ."

It is   48  ! The world could be so different if only we put our anger  49  , lowered our voices and tried to speak from our hearts.

He took us safely to the stop and on the way talked about everything. We   50  him and told him that we   51  have never found the place on our own. He said, "I have a son of your age, and I hope that if he were   52  , someone would help him."

Not only did Lawrence clear out all the fear and distrust in our hearts, he helped us find our way, in more than one ways.   53  , this man taught us kindness. There was   54  we could really do to repay him. The only thing I hope to do is to   55  other people out.

Childish Voice

When I was a young child, my parents often told me that it was time to teach a man everything. I didn’t understand and wondered why   36   had such a big influence   37   a person. I thought I could grow up quickly to find it out as an adult．But now,   38   I come to knock at the door of adulthood, I feel   39  to express my own  40    on this saying. I know that I’m just a high school student with very   41   experiences. There are still many things   42   me in the future, yet I would like to express myself in a childish voice.

I once read this sentence: “To make this world a happy place to live, you’d better   43   yourself and your heart , instead of the whole world.” I was shocked. It made me think about life   44   . There are so many things around us that    45    our will. We can’t force life    46    our wishes. The earth won’t stop turning no matter whether we   47   it or not. What we can do is just to make ourselves  48   the world. I think we should learn to accept   49   life gives us, no matter whether it’s the spring sunlight or the winter snowfall, and try to be happy.

Deeply moved by the pop song Grandmother (by Jay Chou), I always try to  50   every pleasant thing in my life, but now I see I don’t catch most of the pleasant moments. It is more   51   that they slip by and leave you feeling   52   . I realize that I’m not just living   53   myself and that there are the others around me I should think of .They all pay attention to my growing up, even if it’s just a little progress.

Everyone has his or her own attitude towards life, be it positive or   54   .It doesn’t matter, I think. There is one   55   that should be obeyed—and that’s to make this world better.

Stricter Traffic Law Can Prevent Accidents

  From the health point of view we are living in a marvelous（不平凡的）age. We are immunized from birth against many of the most dangerous diseases. A large number of once fatal illnesses can now be cured by modern drugs and surgery. It is almost certain that one day remedies will be found for the most stubborn remaining diseases. The expectation of life has increased enormously. But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we witness the incredible slaughter of men, women and children on the roads. Man versus the motor-car ! It is a never-ending battle which man is losing. Thousands of people the world over are killed or horribly killed each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen.

  It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel, his car becomes the extension of his personality. There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a man’s very worst qualities. People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steering-wheel. They swear, they are ill-mannered and aggressive, willful as two-years-olds and utterly selfish. All their hidden frustrations, disappointments and jealousies seem to be brought to the surface by the act of driving.

  The surprising thing is that society smiles so benignly on the motorist and seems to condone his behaviour. Everything is done for his convenience. Cities are allowed to become almost uninhabitable because of heavy tragic; towns are made ugly by huge car parks; the countryside is desecrated by road networks; and the mass annual slaughter becomes nothing more than a statistic, to be conveniently forgotten.

  It is high time a world code were created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. With regard to driving, the laws of some countries are notoriously lax and even the strictest are not strict enough. A code which was universally accepted could only have a dramatically beneficial effect on the accident rate. Here are a few examples of some the things that might be done. The driving test should be standardized and made far more difficult than it is; all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years or so; the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21; all vehicles should be put through stringent annual tests for safety. Even the smallest amount of alcohol in the blood can impair a person’s driving ability. Present drinking and driving laws (where they exist) should be mad much stricter. Maximum and minimum speed limits should be imposed on all roads. Governments should lay down safety specifications for manufacturers, as has been done in the USA. All advertising stressing power and performance should be banned. These measures may sound inordinately harsh. But surely nothing should be considered as to severe if tit results in reducing the annual toll of human life. After all, the world is for human beings, not motor-cars.

The main idea of this passage is

A Traffic accidents are mainly caused by motorists.

B Thousands of people the world over are killed each year.

C The laws of some countries about driving are too lax.

D Only stricter traffic laws can prevent accidents.

What does the author think of society toward motorists?

A Society smiles on the motorists.   B Huge car parks are built in the cities and towns.

C Victims of accidents are nothing.  D Society condones their rude driving.

Why does the author say:’ his car becomes the extension of his personality?’

A Driving can show his real self.      B Driving can show the other part of his personality.

C Driving can bring out his character.  D His car embodies his temper.

Which of the followings is NOT mentioned as a way against traffic accidents?

A Build more highways.       B Stricter driving tests.

C Test drivers every three years. D raise age limit and lay down safety specifications.

The attitude of the author is

A ironical        B critical        C appealing     D militant
