When she was 15 she happened to walk into a bookstore in her hometown and began looking at the books on the shelves. The man behind the counter, Mac McCarley
25、, asked 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 student union (学生会), was a hotel maid a
26、nd even made 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. The woman seemed anxious. Ann showed her practically everything they had and found other books they could order. The woman lef
27、t the store 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
28、 the boy lived in shame, hiding his hand in his pocket all the time.Ann persuaded her boss to let her do the story. After the story 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
29、thing the boy 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. Today its the same. NBC News pays her, but she feels as if she works for the people wh
30、o watch the programs, helping them make sense of the world.（分数：4.00）(1).Ann Curry got her first job _.（分数：1.00）A.from her friend in a bookstoreB.a couple of years before collegeC.at the NBC News “Today“ showD.when she was studying at university(2).At which part-time job did Ann Curry feel the happie

33、ure the passage of time. Having noticed that shadows move around trees as the sun moves across the sky, someone drew a circle and put a stick in the center. As the sun passed overhead, people could tell which part of the day it was by noticing which mark on the circle the shadow fell across. These c
34、ircles were called “sundials“. latter, they were made of stone and metal to last longer.Of course, a sundial did not work at night or on cloudy days, so men kept inventing other ways to keep track of time. After glass blowing was invented, the hourglass came into use. An hourglass is a glass contain
35、er for measuring time in which sand moves slowly from the top half to the bottom in exactly one hour. The hourglass is turned over every hour so the sand could flow again.One of the first clocks with a face and an hour hand was built for a king of France and placed in the tower of his palace. The cl
36、ock did not show minutes or seconds. Since there were no planes or trains to catch, people were not worried about knowing the exact time. Gradually, clocks began to be popular and unusual. One clock was in the shape of a cart with a horse and driver. One of the wheels was the face of the clock.Today
37、, scientists have invented clocks that tell the correct time to a split second. Many electric clocks are often made with built-in radios, which can sometimes be set to turn on automatically. Thus, instead of an alarm ringing in your ear, you can hear soft music playing when it is time to get up. Som
38、e clocks will even start the coffee maker!（分数：4.00）(1).In the first paragraph, the word “sundial“ refers to _.（分数：1.00）A.the shadow of the sunB.the circle on the groundC.a tool to carry stonesD.a timekeeper(2).In what way was the hourglass better than the sundial?（分数：1.00）A.It could be used under an
39、y weather conditions.B.It could be turned over and over again.C.It was made of glass.D.It could last longer.(3).Besides telling the time, a modern electric clock can _.（分数：1.00）A.answer phone callsB.say your nameC.start a small machineD.cook different food(4).What is the best title for the passage?（
40、分数：1.00）A.Clocks of Our LivesB.What Can a Clock Tell UsC.Clock through TimeD.Clocks Change Peoples LivesBC/BHave you ever thought about what determines the way we are as we grow up? Remember the TV program “Seven Up“? It started following the lives of a group of children in 1963. We first meet them
41、as wide-eyed seven-year-olds and then catch up with them at seven-year intervals: nervous 14-year-olds, serious 21 -year-olds, then grown-ups.Some of the stories are inspiring, others sad, but what is interesting in almost all the cases is the way in which the childrens early hopes and dreams are sh
42、own in their future lives. For example, at seven, Tony is a lively child who says he wants to become a sportsman or a taxi driver. When he grows up, he goes on to do both. How about Nicki? She says,“ Id like to find out about the moon.“ And she goes on to become a space scientist. As a child, soft-s
43、poken Bruce says he wants to help “poor children“ and ends up teaching in India.But if the lives of all the children had followed this pattern the program would be far less interesting than it actually was. It was the children whose childhood did not prepare them for what was to come that made the p
44、rogram so inspiring. Where did their ideas come from about what they wanted to do when they grew up? Are children influenced by what their parents do, by what they see on television, or by what their teachers say? How great is the effect of a single important event? Many film directors, including St
45、ephen Spielberg, say that an early visit to the cinema was the turning point in their byes. Dr. Margaret McAllister, who has done a tot of research in this area, thinks that the major influences are parents, friends, and the wider society.（分数：5.00）(1).What does the text mainly discuss?（分数：1.00）A.New
46、 ways to make a TV program interesting.B.The importance of television programs to children.C.Different ways to make childhood dreams come true.D.The influence of childhood experience on future lives.(2).In the TV program “Seven Up“, we can meet _.（分数：1.00）A.the same group of people at different peri
47、ods of their livesB.different groups of people at the same period of their livesC.different groups of people at different periods of their livesD.the same group of people at the same period of their lives(3).What are the examples in paragraph 2 meant to show?（分数：1.00）A.Many peoples childhood hopes a
48、re related to their future jobs.B.There are many poor children in India who need help.C.Children have different dreams about their future.D.A lot of people are very sad in their childhood.(4).Spielbergs story is merest to show that _.（分数：1.00）A.going to a movie at an early age helps a child learn about societyB.a single childhood event may decide what one does as a grown-upC.parents and friends can help a
