Sometimes people come into your life and you come to realize that they were meant to be there,to serve some sort of purpose,teach you a lesson,or to help you figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be (possibly your room?mate,neighbor, co-worker,long-lost friend, or even a complete stranger),but when you lock eyes with them,you know in an instant that they will affect your life in some way.
And sometimes things happen to you that may seem horrible, painful, and unfair at first,but in reflection you find that without overcoming those obstacles you would never have realized your potential, strength, willpower or heart. Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of good luck. Illness,injury,love,brilliant achievements,and sheer(十足的)stupidity all occur to test the limits of your soul. Without these small tests, whatever they may be,life would be like a smoothly paved(鋪平的),straight,flat road to nowhere. It would be safe and comfortable, but dull and completely pointless.
The people you meet who affect your life,and the ups and downs you experience can be learned from. In fact,they are probably the most important ones. If someone hurts you,forgive them,for they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being careful when you open your heart. If someone loves you,love them back,not only because they love you,but because in a way,they are teaching you to love and how to open your heart and eyes to things.
( ) 5. ________ may become the people who affect you a lot in your life.
A. A friend who lost touch with you for a long time
B. A passer-by who you don't know at all
C. A classmate who hurt you
D. All of the above
( ) 6. In the opinion of the writer,which of the following may be the meaningful life to a person?
A. A safe life without illness or injury.
B. A life with some small obstacles.
C. A comfortable life without any obstacles.
D. A quiet life without anyone's interruption.
( ) 7. What does the underlined phrase "in reflection" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A. Thinking about something in return.
B. Looking forward.
C. Talking about something with your friends.
D. Finally finding an idea.
( ) 8. Which of the following may be the best title of the passage?
A. The Story of Life
B. Everything May Happen
C. Making Good Friends
D. We Love the People Around Us

One summer my friend and I decided to go to Italy for a holiday and we decided to travel there without going through a travel agency. You know,you would be submerged(淹沒)in crowds of tourists and lose lots of opportunities to get familiar with the country more closely. We started to think over our trip and managed to come up with a free tour of Italy.
The trip was not very long but it was still very impressive. We look forward to going there again!Of course,we spent lots of time arranging the trip,but it was well worth it!Of course I was afraid that something would go wrong and I was especially anxious about my visa,but everything went quite smoothly in the end.
The most difficult part was getting a visa without an invitation. In the Italian consulate(領事館),one must hand in some official paper proving that one has a hotel booked for oneself in or?der to get the visa. Then we had to solve the ticket problem. Airlines often sell cheap tickets and we bought ours far in advance. The next step was to book a hotel. We finally booked a ho?tel about thirty km away from the heart of Rome and it was the perfect choice for our trip.
Every day we took a train that carried us to the heart of Rome. Our big house, which was surrounded by the forest,was a rare gift for the fresh air and absolute silence,beautiful views, hospitable(好客的)hosts, comfortable living conditions delighted us to no end. Besides this,we were very lucky that our mistress was English. She gave us a lot of advice that was of great use. She told us what transport to choose and where the best places to go.
Don't be afraid to arrange your trip by yourself. It's not difficult!The only thing I'll say right now is that we really enjoyed traveling by ourselves. We walked with a map and a guide?book to wherever we wanted and we even met some of our fellow countrymen on the way just two or three times. So,if you're also planning a "single" trip,don't forget to take an English-Italian phrasebook as people in Italy prefer to speak in their native tongue. ( ) 5. What does the author think was the hardest in preparing for his Italian trip?
A. Buying cheap airline tickets to Italy before the traveling.
B. Getting a visa without an invitation from the Italian consulate.
C. Booking a comfortable hotel on his own in Rome.
D. Solving the ticket problem far in advance.

A. the reason why he chose to live in the center of Rome
B. the reason why the hotel he booked was the right choice
C. what transport they chose to travel in their Italian trip
D. the reason why the mistress gave them some advice
( ) 7. Which of the following questions has NOT been answered in the passage?
A. Why did the author decide to go to Italy for a holiday for the first time?
B. Why did the author decide not to follow a travel agency?
C. How did the author prepare for his trip?

As a teenager in 1972 ,Bill Gates boasted that he would be a millionaire by the time he was 20. While he did not quite achieve that goal,only 15 years later he was a billionaire. And by 1992 ,as head of the Microsoft company, he became the richest man in America with assets(資產(chǎn))of approximately $6.3 billion.
Born in Seattle,Washington on 28 ,October 1956 ,Gates was named William Henry after his father and grandfather. From the beginning, he was an extremely energetic and intelligent(聰明的)child. He had read the entire world book encyclopedia(百科全書)by the age of nine. His favorite subjects at school were science and maths and his favorite past time was "thinking".
Gates first started to play with computers at the age of 13,when one was installed(安裝)at his school. At that time,computers were large,awkward(笨重的)machines. Operators were re?quired to learn complex(復雜的)computer languages before the machines could be used. Even then,a great deal of time and effort was needed to perform the simplest functions. Before long,Gates was an expert at working the school's computer. After his graduation from secondary school, Gates was accepted by the three top universities in USA一Princeton, Harvard and Yale. He chose Harvard and began classes there the next autumn, majoring maths. But he was still ob?sessed(癡 迷)with computers and spent as much time in the computer laboratories as he did in the lecture halls.
By 1975, Gates and a partner, Paul Allen, had developed a software called BASIC. This was not the first program ever created,but its inventors were the first to decide that people who wanted to use it should pay for it.
BASIC was a success because until it came along there had been no efficient way of getting computers to carry out instructions. Although he had not yet completed his degree, Gates left university and went to work full time for the new company he had formed called Microsoft.
His next project(項目)was the software program that made him famous and very rich. It was called DOS,short for Disk Operating System, and it was purchased(購買)by IBM in 1980. Today it is the operating system used in more than 14 million personal computers around the world.
As chief executive officer(首席執(zhí)行官)of Microsoft, Gates is known as a bright man,but one who is not easily satisfied. He is quick to criticize(批評)his staff and hates to be questioned about decisions he has made. He was regarded as a loner, an unfashionable boring computer nut,until his marriage to Microsoft manager Melonda French on New Year's Day 1994. Yet to most people now,Gates is a person who is,in spite of his great wealth, humble(謙恭的)and ordinary. He spends his money carefully, he eats in fast-food restaurants and flies economy class
(經(jīng)濟艙).And when praised for Microsoft's great success, he has been heard to say, "All we do is put software in a box and if people see it in the stores and like it,they buy it.”
( ) 5. When he was a teenager, Bill Gates wanted to be a

A. no one was interested in computer software
B. software programs were not considered commercial(商業(yè)的)projects
C. software programs were very expensive
D. no one wanted to pay for computer software
( ) 8. When the writer says "Bill was regarded as an unfashionable boring computer nut",
he means
A. Bill was so strong-minded that no one could change his mind
B. the only thing that could interest Bill in his life was computer
C. Bill was such a boring young man that nobody would like to talk to him
