第三部分 閱讀理解(共20小題;每小題2分,滿分40分)

第一節(jié)(共15題;每小題2分,滿分30分)

 閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A,B,C和D)中, 選出最佳選項,并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。

Begin doing the work you love as soon as possible, even if you don’t get paid for it, or if you can only work at it part-time. Albert Einstein was unable to get a job as a physics professor. He could have said to himself, “Well, I just don’t have the work relative to physics. I should give up on it and settle for something else.” Instead, he wrote the two most famous papers while employed as a patent(專利)clerk. After their publication, there was not a major university in the world that would not have been glad to have him on their staff.

If you want to work as an artist and you are making a living as a waiter, don’t think of yourself as a waiter who hopes one day to become an artist. That puts the work you love somewhere off in the distant future. Rather, think of yourself as an artist, supporting yourself by waiting tables—and paint, or draw as much as you can. It is possible to earn a living wage as a waiter working 24 hours a week. That leaves plenty of time to devote to training or developing your craft(工藝)in the off hours.

While seeking the work you love, it helps to expand your awareness(意識)into the universe of all possibilities. You don’t want to be limited to the ideas of what you should do or what you have done before. Having opened to all possibilities, you can make a final decision and select the work you love as your own.

Doing the work you love requires that you be equally comfortable with the imaginative and the practical. It requires the ability to dream big dreams and the ability to face and master all the little details that make dreams come true.

56.According to the passage, perhaps Einstein once said to himself, “_______.”

       A.Well, I just don’t have the work relative to physics. I should give up on it and settle for something else

       B.The job is just what I want, I should work very hard at it

       C.I have to support myself by working as a patent clerk now, but I won’t give physics up

       D.I must wait until I find my favorite job

57.If a person works 24 hours a week, he can________.

       A.have enough spare time for his hobbies 

B.have no time left to make his dream come true

       C.do nothing else                      

D.make a good living

58.Which of the following is not implied in the last paragraph?

       A.Sometimes the imaginative is different from the practical.

       B.We have to take care of a lot of details before we make our dreams come true.

       C.We shall do practical things rather than dream.

       D.We shall dream big dreams and practice as well.

59.According to the passage, the author encourages us to ________.

       A.start work quickly    B.select job carefully and patiently

       C.dream often         D.make up our minds quickly
