17、 if shed like a job. She needed to start saving for college, so she said yes.Ann worked after school and during summer vacations, and the job helped pay for her first year of college. During college she would do many other jobs: she served coffee in the students union, was a hotel maid and even made
18、 maps for the US Forest Service. But selling books was one of the most satisfying jobs.One day a woman came into the bookstore and asked Ann for books on cancer (癌症). The woman seemed anxious. Ann showed her practically everything they had and found other books they could order. The woman left the s
19、tore less worried, and Ann has always remembered the pride she felt in having helped her customer.Years later, as a television reporter in Los Angeles, Ann heard about a child who was born with problems with his fingers and his hand. His family could not afford a surgical(外科的) operation, and the boy
20、 lived in shame, hiding his hand in his pocket all the time.Ann persuaded her boss to let her do the story. After the stray was broadcast, a doctor and a nurse called, offering to perform the surgical operation for free.Ann visited the boy in the recovery room after the operation. The first thing he
21、 did was to hold up his repaired hand and say, “Thank you. “ What a sweet sense of satisfaction Ann Curry felt!At McCarleys bookstore, Ann always sensed she was working for the customers, not the store.

25、t learned to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed
26、upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken, or written in letters, we call words.There power of words, then, lies in their associations the things they bring up before our minds. Words become fil
27、led with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases.Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also e
28、xpress these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions.（分数：12.00）(1).The origin of language is _.A. a legend handed down from the past B. a matter that is hidden or secretC. a question difficult to answer D. a problem not yet solved（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(2).One of the reasons wh
29、y men invented certain sounds to express thoughts and actions is that _.A. they could agree upon certain signs B. they could write them downC. they could communicate with each other D. they could combine them（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(3).What is true about words?A.

31、ed sleep or complete rest every day.If you want to know why, just try going without sleep for a long period of time. You will discover that your mind and body would become too tired to work properly. You would become irritable and find it hard to think clearly or concentrate on your work. So sleep i
32、s quite simply the time when the cells of your body recover from the work of the day and build up supplies of energy for the next period of activity.One of the things we all know about sleep is that we are unconscious in sleep. We do not know what is going on around us. But that doesn t mean the bod
33、y stops all activity. The important organs continue to work during sleep, but most of the body functions are slowed down.For example, our breathing becomes slower and deeper. The heart beats more slowly, and the blood pressure is lower. Our arms and legs become limp(柔软的) and muscles are at rest. It
34、would be impossible for our body to relax to such an extent if we were awake. So sleep does for us what the most quiet rest can not do.Your body temperature becomes lower when you are asleep, which is the reason people go to sleep under some kind of covers. And even though you are unconscious, many
35、of your reflexes(反射 动作) still work. For instance, if someone tickles(使觉得痒) your foot, you will put it away in your sleep, or even brush a fly from your forehead. You do these things without knowing it.（分数：12.00）(1).If you don t have as much sleep as your body needs, you will _.A. work properly B. th

37、hat we are unconscious in sleep“ ,the word “unconscious“ means _.A. untiring B. unmovedC. quiet D. not knowing what is happening around（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).When you are sleeping,_.A. all of you reflexes stop working B. most of your reflexes stop workingC. many of your reflexes still work D. all of y
38、our reflexes still work（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.八、Passage Four(总题数：1，分数：12.00)The first European stock exchange was established in Antwerp, Belgium(比利时), in 1531. There were no stock exchanges in England until the 1700s. A man wishing to buy or sell shares of stock had to find a broker(agents)to transact hi
39、s business for him. In London, he usually went to a coffee house, because brokers often gathered there.

42、ent it. Prices of stock change according to general business conditions and the earnings and future prospects(前景) of the company.

49、ut the policeman said,“No, you will have to appear at the police station later. “ Mr. Green had to do as the policeman told him. The policeman wrote his name and address down, put his notebook and pencil back in his pocket and gave Mr. Green a talk about dangerous driving. Then Mr. Green started up his car again and drove on.Just as he reached the suburb of London, the passenger said,“I want to get off here. “ Mr. Green stopped the
