James sat outside the office waiting for the interview. He felt so    36  that he didn’t know what to do with himself. The person who had gone in   37  him had been in there for nearly an hour. And she looked so confident when she went in, not like James. He felt    38  that she had already got the job. The problem was that he wanted his job so much. It meant everything to him. He had   39  it such a lot before the day of the interview. He had imagined himself   40  brilliantly（出色地）at the interview and being offered the job immediately. But now here he was feeling    41 . He couldn’t remember all those things he   42  to say. At that moment, he almost decided to get up and leave. But no – he had to do this. He had spent so much time considering it that he couldn’t    43  like that. His hands were hot and sticky and his mouth felt dry. At last the door of the office opened. The woman who had gone in an hour earlier came out looking very    44   with herself. She smiled sympathetically （同情地）at James. At the moment, James    45  her. The managing director then appeared at the office door. “would you like to come in now, Mr. Davis? I’m sorry to have kept you    46 .” James suddenly wished that he had gone home after all. He got up, legs    47  and forehead sweating and wondered he looked as terrified as he felt.

If I were writing a history of my family, some of the darkest moments recorded would be those surrounding Christmas trees. One would certainly think otherwise; selecting and putting up our trees have always been filled with risk.
For example, one afternoon dangerously close to Christmas Eve my mother bought what she thought to be a bargain, a glorious tree that was so full and tall that we could hardly get it into the house. Once we did, my father immediately realized that we would have to hire a carpenter to build a stand for it.
Another December, perhaps the very next one, we bought a tree earlier than we ever had before. We were happy with its shape and delighted that its size was manageable. We easily placed it in a stand, decorated it from top to bottom, and then self-satisfiedly sat back by the fire in its soft light.
Two or three days passed and the truth could not be hidden; we had bought a tree cut so long ago that its needles were coming off. There was nothing to do but undecorated it, take it down, and begin tree shopping again.
Our most recent Christmas tree offered still another difficult task. When we brought it home, once again it seemed larger than it was in the great outdoors. To complicate matters, we had bought a new stand, one whose nuts(螺帽)and bolts(閂子)worked more mysteriously than those of our old stands. I persuaded two young neighbors to stop playing basketball and to help us get the tree into the house and set it correctly in the stand. Unfortunately, no one noticed the mud on our helpers’ shoes, so only after removing several reddish brown sports from the carpet were we able to discuss the question of where the lights and ornaments(裝飾)were stored. Perhaps those who cut their own trees have tales more painful than these. I don’t care to hear them, as my family’s experiences are enough to cause me to make the following suggestion: “Let’s forget the tree next Christmas. Let’s simply hang some flowers on the front door and over the mirror in the hall.”
小題1:The darkest moments in the writer’s family were with the fact that        .
A．the family bought big Christmas trees
B．they had problems decorating their Christmas trees
C．they had problems picking suitable Christmas trees
D．they had problems finding carpenters for putting up Christmas trees
小題2:We can learn from the passage that the writer would like to        .
A．forget about Christmas stories
B．get the neighbors to put up their trees
C．buy a better tree to celebrate Christmas
D．make other decorations rather than Christmas trees
小題3:When the writer said “my mother bought what she thought to be a bargain”, he means      .
A．she bought the tree at a cheap price B．she didn’t really want to buy it
C．she had to bargain hard with the salesmanD．she couldn’t afford a more expensive one
小題4:Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A．How to Select a Christmas TreeB．No More Christmas Tree for Us
C．Dark Moments of LifeD．Christmas Without Trees

In 1933 an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the filmmaker Walt Disney. He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney’s cartoon film for children. When Walt Disney heard Nash’s voice, he said “Stop! That’s our duck!”
The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the film The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat(水上住家) and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight-minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy, and because he lost his temper very quickly. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey’s eight nephews. Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn’t a goody-goody like Mickey.
In the 1930s, 40s and 50s Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared---there were no more new cartoons.
Clarence Nash died in February, 1985. But today’s children can still see the old cartoons on television and hear that famous voice.
小題1:Who made Donald Duck film?

小題2:When did Donald Duck become popular?

When an official at the U. S. Open Pocket Pool(臺球)Championship saw a 9-year-old girl playing at one of the tournament tables, he told her that spectators(觀眾)were not allowed to play. But much to his surprise, the girl was actually a competitor. That was nine years ago, and today, with five U. S. Open Women’s titles behind her and a recently won world championship, no one is likely to mistake Jean Balukas for a spectator again.
It doesn’t seem too surprising that Jean became caught up in pool——her father owns a pool hall within walking distance of the family’s home in Brooklyn. When she was just tall enough to see over the table, she fell in love with the game soon. Five years later Jean was ready to enter her first U. S. Open. She still remembers the letter the officials sent her reminding her that she wouldn’t be allowed to stand on a box to play.

As Jean improved, she found it increasingly difficult to play games at her father’s pool hall. “If I’d beat one of the guys, his friends would laugh at them about losing to me,” she says. Now Jean comes to the hall only weeks before a tournament when she plays Johnny Goon, her father’s pool manager.
That Johnny can beat her shows the gap that now exists in pool — as in other sports — between the top men and women competitors. “I’m supposedly the top woman player, but I’d have a hard time beating the number 50 man,” says Jean. “If I was a boy and played pool, I’d be a nobody.”
Jean thinks that women pool players still have a long way to go because pool has been a man’s game for so long. “When they think of pool players, people have this picture in their head of gambling(賭博) and smoke,” she says.
Jean won four of the seven games in these two years. She was as surprised as anyone else at her performance, even though she was a New York City tennis champion and center for her high-school basketball team. Jean does not take full credit for her achievements, saying, “I think what I have in sports is a gift from God, and that’s why I can get out there and do so well.”
小題1:We can learn from the first passage that Jean Balukas_____.
A．had become well-known at the age of 9
B．had achieved great fame at the age of 18
C．was often asked to play with men players
D．was refused to play in the U. S. Open for her young age
小題2:The letter Jean received before her first U. S. Open_____.
A．told her to arrive in time for the game
B．showed people’s doubt about her ability
C．told her about the basic rules of the game
D．invited her to compete in the U. S. Open
小題3:Jean Balukas believed that women pool players_____.
A．fall far behind men players
B．a(chǎn)ren’t suitable for a man’s game
C．a(chǎn)re impossible to beat any man player
D．have a bad reputation(名聲) for gambling and smoking
小題4:By saying the underlined words in the last paragraph Jean meant that _____.
A．women players had a long way to go
B．she wouldn’t stop before her great achievement
C．she had much confidence in the game
D．she achieved her success because of her born gift

In February 2006, Lydia Angyiou and her two sons were walking through their village in northern Canada. The sound of children shouting made her turn around. To her horror, Lydia saw a 700-pound polar bear behind her eyeing her seven-year-old son. Getting between the bear and her child, Lydia yelled at the children to run away. She then began hitting and kicking the animal as hard as she could. A neighbor who heard all the noise came and shot the bear. But everyone agreed it was Lydia who had saved her children’s lives. A local policeman described it this way: “… I guess when your back is up against the wall, … we come up with super-human strength.”
Where does this “super-human strength”, courage and quick thinking come from? Experts say it comes from stress! In stressful situations, the body releases chemicals that prepare it to take action. These chemicals give people the speed and strength they need to fight danger or run away from it.
When we think of stress, we usually think of its negative effects. Studies, though, show that moderate levels of stress are actually helpful. In fact, the way we perform is usually affected by the amount of stress we feel.
Stress causes the brain to release adrenaline(腎上腺素) which in turn increases our energy and excitement. The chemical gives us clearer minds and helps us to do more. This is why some people say they work better under a deadline.
Adrenaline that is not released for long periods of time can cause us to increase and strengthen our abilities instead of weakening them. We sometimes turn out our very best work when we push ourselves to the limit. Stress can also make us more confident. Handling small amounts of stress now prepares us for handling serious situations in the future. Who knows? Today’s stress may even prepare for the next polar bear that comes along!
小題1:In the first paragraph, the case of Lydia Angyiou is mentioned to______.
A．introduce the topic to be followed
B．remind us of the unexpected danger of life
C．praise Lydia Angyiou for her bravery
D．show the importance of super-human strength
小題2:What does the policeman probably mean by saying “your back is up against the wall”?
A．You are helped.B．You are inspired.
C． You are confident.D．You are cornered.
小題3:What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Brave MotherB．The Cause of Stress
C．The Benefit of StressD．Super-human Strength

Three hours had passed before the professor began to  44 the papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was a frightened expression. Papers in hand, no one spoke as the professor  45  the class.
He looked at the worried faces before him, and then asked: “How many completed all five questions?”   46 a hand was raised.
“How many answered four?” Still no hands.
“Three? Two?” The students  47 restlessly(不安地) in their seats.
“One, then? Certainly somebody finished one.” But the class remained   48 .
The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I   49 ,” he said. “I just want you to  50 you that, even although you have completed four years of engineering, there are still many things about the   51 you don’t know. These questions you couldn’t answer are relatively common in everyday  52 .” Then smiling, he   53 , “You will all pass this course, but remember—even though you are now college graduates, your education has just  54 .”
