內(nèi)容概要：本文通過對比的手法，描述了James面試前緊張不安、不知所措的心理狀態(tài)。
答案簡析：
小題1:由后面的不知所措，可見其“緊張”。
小題2:是他“自己”不知所措。
小題3:因為那個女士已面試了近一個小時，可見她是先進(jìn)去接受面試的。
小題4:表示比較，別人充滿自信而“不像”他。
小題5:從他后面擔(dān)心得不到工作來分析，他是“確信”那位女士面試出色的。
小題6:面試所競爭的就是“工作”，而且下一句又再現(xiàn)了job這一詞。
小題7:從他后面對這份工作的憧憬來看，他“十分”希望得到這份工作。
小題8:前面說了他非常想得到這份工作，而且為面試進(jìn)行了精心準(zhǔn)備，可見這一工作對他來說意味著“一切”。
小題9:dream of指“夢想”，一般指超出現(xiàn)實或是比較遙遠(yuǎn)的事情，think about表示“考慮”，比較恰當(dāng)，而且與下文的imagined，considering相呼應(yīng)。
小題10:其他三個選項不能涵蓋面試的方方面面。
小題11:想象中面試出色，所以當(dāng)場得到了那份工作。
小題12:與前面想象中的美好形成強(qiáng)烈對比。
小題13:緊張導(dǎo)致思維混亂，所以不能“想起”準(zhǔn)備好的話。
小題14:希望回憶出來的話語，肯定是事前準(zhǔn)備好的。
小題15:根據(jù)行文邏輯選定。
小題16:等同于前面提到的get up and leave。
小題17:由后面的行為來看，她對自己的面試表現(xiàn)是滿意的。
小題18:奪取了那份工作，又表現(xiàn)出洋洋得意的樣子，叫James怎么不“恨”她。
小題19:由had gone這一虛擬語氣形式和“兩腿發(fā)抖、額頭冒汗”這一信息不難推知答案。
小題20:緊張時兩腿“發(fā)抖”，這是正�，F(xiàn)象。

Danielle Steel, America's sweetheart, is one of the hardest working women in the book business. Unlike other productive authors who write one book at a time, she can work on up to five. Her research time before writing takes at least three years. Once she has fully studied her subjects, ready to dive into a book, she can spend twenty hours nonstop at her desk.
Danielle Steel comes from New York and was sent to France for her education. After graduation, she worked in the public relations and advertising industries. Later she started a job as a writer which she was best fit for. Her achievements are unbelievable: 390 million copies of books in print, nearly fifty New York Times best-selling novels, and a series of "Max and Martha" picture books for children to help them deal with the real-life problems of death, new hobbies and new schools. Her 1998 book about the death of her son shot to the top of the New York Times best-selling list as soon as it came out. Twenty-eight of her books have been made into films. She is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for one of her books being the Times best-seller for 381 weeks straight.
Not content with a big house, a loving family, and a view of the Golden Gate Bridge, Danielle Steel considers her readers to be the most important resource(資源) and has kept in touch with them by e-mail. While she is often compared to the heroines(女主人公) of her own invention, her life is undoubtedly much quieter. But, if she does have anything in common with them, it is her strength of will and her inimitable(獨(dú)特的) style. There is only one Danielle Steel.

Philo Farnsworth, the inventor of one of the country’s greatest machines was actually born in a log cabin,  1 to high school on horse back and without   2 of university degree（indeed, at age 14）, thought of the idea of electronic television.

People unhappy with the rich: Poll
There is growing dissatisfaction toward rich people, according to a new online poll. The poll by the China Youth Daily in collaboration(與…合作) with Sina.com has highlighted the apparent discontent (不滿)over the country’s widening income gap. Nearly 8,000 people filled in online questionnaires last week, and when asked to use three words to describe society’s rich, the top responses were "extravagant"(奢侈的), "greedy" and "corrupt".About 57 percent of those polled said that "extravagant" was the best word to describe the rich, followed closely by "greedy".Ironically, despite their dissatisfaction, 93 percent of those polled wished they could be rich too, and that richer people should be "socially responsible".Some 33 percent of respondents also praised rich people for being "smart".Nearly 90 percent of respondents agreed that most people in society, including themselves, were willing to speak up for the poor but were reluctant to take action and actually do something for them.The survey comes on the heels of a heated debate over comments made by renowned economist Mao Yushi, who said he was "speaking for the rich and working for the poor".A report released by the Asian Development Bank last Wednesday revealed that China’s Gini coefficient - an indicator of the wealth divide - rose from 0.407 in 1993 to 0.473 in 2004.
An earlier CASS report said that the richest 10 percent of Chinese families now own more than 40 percent of all private assets, while the poorest 10 percent share less than 2 percent of the total wealth.The country’s income disparity(懸殊) is close to that of Latin America, the report which came out in January, said.

We once had a poster competition in our fifth grade art class.
“You could win prizes，’’our teacher told US as she wrote the poster information on the blackboard. She passed out sheets of construction paper while continuing，“The first prize is ten dollars. You just have to make sure that the words on the blackboard appear somewhere on your poster. ”
We studied the board critically. Some of US looked with one eye and held up certain colors against the blackboard，rocking the sheets to the fight or left while we conjured up our designs. Others twisted their hair around their fingers or chewed their erasers while deep in thought. We had plans for that ten—dollar grand prize，each and every one of US. I'm going to spend mine on candies，one hopeful would announce，while another practiced looking serious，wise and rich.
Everyone in the class made a poster. Some of us used parts of those fancy paper napkins，while others used nothing but colored construction paper. Some of US used big designs，and some of us preferred to gather our art tidily down in one comer of our poster and let the space draw the viewer's attention to it. Some of US would wander past the good students’ desks and then return to our own projects with a growing sense of hopelessness. It was yet another grown-up trick of the soil they seemed especially fond of。making all of US believe we had a fair chance，and then always—always—rewarding the same old winners.
I believe I drew a sailboat，but I can’t say that with any certainty. I made it. I admired it. I determined it to be the very best of all of the posters I had seen，and then I turned it in.
Minutes passed.
No one came along to give me the grand prize，and then someone distracted me，and I probably never would have thought about that poster again.
I was still sitting at my desk，thinking，What poster? When the teacher gave me an envelope with a ten-dollar bill in it and everyone in the class applauded for me.
46. What was the teacher's requirement for the poster?
A. It must appear in time.
B. It must be done in class.
C. It must be done on a construction sheet.
D. It must include the words on the blackboard.
47. The underlined phrase in paragraph 3 most probably means _____________.
A. formed an idea for
B. made an outline for
C. made some space for
D. chose some colors for
48. After the teacher’s words，all the students in the class _________.
A. 1ooked very serious
B. thought they would be rich
C. began to think about their designs
D. began to play games
49. After seeing the good students’ designs，some students _________.
A. 1oved their own designs more
B. thought they had a fair chance
C. put their own designs in a comer
D. thought they would not win the prize
50. We can infer from the passage that the author ______________.
A. enjoyed grown-up tricks very much
B. 1oved poster competitions very much
C. felt surprised to win the competition
D. became wise and rich after the competition

   Paul Zindel’s death on March 27,2003 ended the brilliant life of a famous writer. Not only did Paul Zindel win a Pulitzer Prize as well as an Obie Prize for his 1970 play The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds, but be was one of the earliest writers in the field of contemporary（當(dāng)代的） literature for young adults（成人）.

Six of Zindel’s books, in fact, have been voted the Best Books for Young Adults, and most of his recent horror books-such as The Doom Stone and Rats－h(huán)ave been chosen as Quick Picks for Reluctant Young Adult Readers. Clearly, he was a writer who knew how to interest contemporary children. Recognizing that, the American Library Association in 2002 honored Paul Zindel with the Margaret A.

With his passing, young readers, teachers, and librarians have lost a great friend.

A．The Pigman.                  B．The Doom Stone.
C．The Pigman and Me.              D．The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds.
57．Why was Paul Zindel honored with the Margaret A. Edwards Prize?
A．His books were widely read by children.
B．His books were interesting and helpful to adults.
C．He made great contributions to contemporary literature.
D．He wrote a number of horror books for young adults.
58．When did Paul Zindel win the ALAN Prize?
A．In 2002.                        B．In 2003.
C．Between 1967 and 1992.           D．Between 2002 and 2003.
