9.Chances are you've enjoyed a cup of coffee from Starbucks.Since the opening of the first Starbucks in 1971as a vendor of high-quality coffee beans and brewing equipment,the company has expanded to become the most popular coffeehouse chain in the world.Its 14,000stores in 43countries sell coffee beverages,beans,teas,brewing equipment,pastries,and more.How did this happen?
Starbucks Chairman Howard Schultz took over the company in 1987.He recognized an untapped market in busy individuals in urban areas who could afford fine coffees.In 1995,Schultz hired Anna Niess and Will Chassaing to redesign his booming chain.In addition to laying the groundwork for Starbucks'well-known symbols and distinctive style,they created a program that led to opening one store per day throughout the 1990s.
One thing that makes Starbucks so popular is the company's vision of their stores as a"third place"to spend time in addition to work and home.It's a cozy environment that serves as a meeting place.This attracts a loyal following of customers that come not only to drink coffee,but to relax,work,socialize,and attend cultural events.
Schultz still sees a great deal of potential for his company.Starbucks plans to have 40,000stores worldwide with 20,000in the US and Canada.The company is now a household name around the world.
Howard Schultz is the perfect example of a person living the American dream.After growing up in public housing,he received a football scholarship to Northern Michigan University.This allowed him to become the first in his family to graduate from college in 1975.
Schultz first experienced Starbucks as a salesman for Swedish drip coffeemakers on a trip to visit the Seattle company that had been buying his products.A year later,he joined the company.Conflict arose when Schultz recommended Starbucks sell brewed coffee in addition to beans and equipment.The owners disagreed,and in 1985,Schultz went on to start his own coffee shop,II Giornale.In 1987,the original Starbucks owners sold their company to Schultz,and refocused their attention on selling coffee beans and teas.
Schultz promoted an aggressive expansion of Starbucks throughout the US and Canada.When Starbucks began selling stock shares in 1992,he had already grown the chain to 165stores.Throughout the expansion of Starbucks,Schultz has held strong principles of social responsibility.Starbucks takes good care of its employees with health insurance,stock options (認股權(quán)),and stable hours.In fact,under Schultz,Starbucks has been consistently ranked one of the best places to work in the US and UK.
Commitments to environmentalism,fair pay for coffee bean growers,and a positive contribution to society contribute to Schultz's reputation as a truly ethical (道德的) businessman.That means with Schultz in charge of Starbucks,you can enjoy your coffee with a clear conscience.

63.Which of the following statements is NOT true?C
A.Starbucks sells coffee beverages,beans,teas,brewing equipment,pastries and more.
B.The original Starbucks owners focused their attention on selling coffee beans and brewing equipment until 1987.
C.Starbucks has been the best place to work in the US and UK.
D.It was Anna Niess and Will Chassaing who redesigned Starbucks's well-known symbols and style.
64.What makes Starbucks so popular?D
A.Starbucks'care for its employees.
B.Starbucks'Chairman Howard Schultz.
C.Starbucks'expansion around the world
D.Starbucks'cozy environment
65.Which of the following is the correct order of the events?B
a.Schultz started his own coffee shop.
b.Schultz recommended Starbucks sell brewed coffee.
c.Schultz bought Starbucks.
d.Schultz grew the chain to 165stores.
A.b,c,a,d         B.b,a,c,d
C.b,c,d,a         D.b,a,d,c
66.What helps Schultz to earn a reputation as a truly ethical businessman?C
A.His being the first to graduate in his family.
B.The fast expansion of Starbucks.
C.His strong principles of social responsibility.
D.His being the perfect example of a person living the American dream.

11.THE STORY OF AN EYEWITNESS
by Jack London
Never before in history has a city been so completely destroyed.San Francisco is gone.Nothing is left of it but memories and some houses far from the centre of the city.Its businesses are gone.The factories,hotels and palaces are all gone too.Within an hour after the earthquake,the smoke of San Francisco's fires could be seen 160kilometres away. ①The sun was red in the dark sky.There was no stopping the fires.There was no way to organize or communicate.The steel railway tracks were now useless.And the great pipes for carrying water under the streets had burst.All of the ways man had made to keep the city safe were gone in the thirty seconds the earth moved.
②Out at sea it was calm.No wind came up.Yet from every direction-east,west,north,and south,strong winds blew upon the unlucky city.Man himself had to make ruins of some of the city's best buildings so that they would not be a danger to those in the streets.A list of buildings undestroyed was now only a few addresses. ③A list of the brave men and women would fill a library.A list of all those killed will never be made.
Amazing as it may seem,Wednesday night was a quiet night.There were no crowds.The policemen said nothing; even their horses were quiet. ④There were no shouts or people doing crazy things.In all those terrible hours I saw not one woman who cried,not one man who was excited.Before the fires,through the night,thousands and thousands of people who had lost their homes left for safety.Some were covered in blankets.Sometimes whole families put everything they owned and could save into wagons (四輪馬車).They helped one another climb the high hills around the city.Never in all San Francisco's history were her people so kind as on that terrible night.

31.We can judge from the passage that the terrible earthquake took place inD.
A.China
B.Britain
C.Canada
D.America
32.Which word best describes how the writer felt about the earthquake?B
A.lost
B.shocked
C.excited
D.quiet
33.Which of the underlined sentences is NOT an example of contrast(對比)?D
A.①
B.②
C.③
D.④
34.What can we learn from Jack London's description of the earthquake?C
A.The terrible earthquake lasted about one hour.
B.People hid in the library during the earthquake.
C.The quake almost destroyed everything in the city.
D.People were in panic (恐慌),not knowing what to do.
35.We could probably read the passage fromA.
A.a(chǎn) report   
B.a(chǎn) letter 
C.a(chǎn) poster  
D.a(chǎn) play.

8.Education is not an end,but a means to an end.In other words,we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them.Our purpose is to fit them for life.
In some modern countries,it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all-one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation.But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in some countries where a far larger number of people with university degree; however,they refuse to do what they think"low"work; and,in fact,work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries.But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor; we can live without education,but we die if we have no food.If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses,we should get terrible diseases in our towns.
In fact,when we say that all of us must be educated to fit ourselves for life,it means that we must be educated in such a way that,firstly,each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability and,secondly,that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society,and that it is very bad to be ashamed of one's work.Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.

60.The writer of the passage thinks thatD.
A.education can settle the world's problems
B.free education for all probably leads to a perfect world.
C.free education won't help to solve problems
D.not all the social problems can be solved by education
61.The writer wants to prove thatA.
A.our society needs all kinds of jobs
B.our society needs free education for all
C.work with hands is the most important
D.a(chǎn) farmer is more important than a professor.
62.The purpose of education isB.
A.to get more educated physical laborers
B.to prepare children for the future work
C.to let everyone have suitable education
D.to build a perfect world for all the people.

9.There's no place in the world like Venice,Italy.Called the City of Water,Venice was built about 1,500 years ago.It's made up of 118 tiny islands in the Adriatic Sea.The area,however,may be in over its head.But now scientists have a new plan to save the city.
Because the city was built on soft soil,it has been sinking under the pressure of its own weight.Scientists estimate that Venice sinks at a rate of nearly 2 inches every 100 years.Rising sea levels could make Venice go under even faster,some experts say.Earth's temperature is slowly increasing.That is causing sea ice to melt,which makes the world's waters rise,they say.
To keep the city afloat,experts want to pump about 40 billion gallons of sea water beneath Venice.The liquid would expand the sand under the city,which would help support the islands,explains lead scientist Giuseppe Gambolati.
Experts are rushing to save Venice because of its rich history.The city was once a strong sea power."Many famous artists and opera singers have come from Venice.Some of the world's greatest paintings can be found on the city's museum walls,"explains Melissa Conn,who is a director of Save Venice Inc.
While scientists work to get their water-pumping plan approved,Venice's residents go about their normal routines.When the tide rolls in,the locals have ways of keeping everyone dry.Cafe owners move tables to higher ground,and hotels pass out high boots to guests.
Still,dealing with the rising water does not give the city's residents a sinking feeling,just ask Erla Zwingle.She has lived in Venice for 17 years."There has always been high water in Venice."Zwingle told WR News."If high water really were a serious problem,people wouldn't be still living here."
56.What's the main reason Venice is sinking?C
A.Its population is rising.
B.Its buildings are too weighty.
C.The soil it was built on is not solid.
D.Its underground water is being overused.
57.What can we know about Venice from the passage?D
A.It sinks at a rate of 2 inches every 200 years.
B.It has a history of more than 1,500 years.
C.It has been in a very dangerous situation.
D.It was once a strong sea power.
58.According to Melissa Conn,VeniceB.
A.is not protecting properly  
B.deserves the world's attention
C.is best-known only for its artists  
D.has difficulty surviving the rising temperature
59.What's the local residents'attitude towards their sinking city?D
A.Worried.B.Disappointed.C.Concerned.D.Optimistic.
60.What is the main idea of the passage?D
A.Venice is a city with a long history.
B.Experts report that Venice sinks at a fast rate.
C.Venice was once a powerful country.
D.Scientists have a new plan to protect Venice from sinking.
