24、s ago when he stopped his car at a traffic light, Stephen Pearman, an out-of-work taxi and truck driver, walked up to Freds ear hoping to earn some change by washing his windshield. Like many motorists who try to keep the beggars off, Fred turned on the wipers to show he wasnt interested.Pearman put

25、 his head close to the window. “Come on, mister. Give me a chance. I need a job,“ he said. Something in Stephen Pearmans voice moved Robert Fred. In the seconds before traffic started moving again, Fred handed, Pearman a business card and told him to call if he was serious.“My friends told me he was

26、 just pulling my leg,“ said Pearman. “But I said, No, hes a businessman. I need to give it a shot.“Two days later, 29-year-old Pearman appeared in the managers office of the big hotel. Fred gave him a job and housing and lent him pocket money while training him.Today, Pearman works full-time setting

27、 up the hotels dining halls for business meetings.

I could have just come here a while, eaten up and left. But there is no future in washing winds

28、hields.“Ordinarily, Fred keeps away from the street People. “But Pearman seemed so honest and open, asking for a chance rather than just money,“ Fred says: “I dont hand my business card to just any- body.

32、He likes to give his help to anyone in need.C.He helps those who work hard themselves.D.He is easily moved by poor people.BShe once said,“ When people ask me whether writing has been a hard or easy road I always answer with the famous saying: The end is nothing; the road is all. That is what I mean

33、when I say writing has been a pleasure. I have never faced the type-writer with the thought that one more task had to be done.“Like most writers, Willa Cather did not write books for the money that they brought her. but rather for the pleasure that came in their writing. Her works were, like her, si

34、mple and full of the vigor of her days in Nebraska, where she grew from childhood to young womanhood and where she developed a deep love for the treeless land of the great plains with its wild flowers, wheat fields and rivers.“Its a rather strange thing about the flat country,“ she wrote later. “It

35、takes hold of you, or it leaves you perfectly cold. A great many people find it very dull: they like a church tower, an old factory, a waterfall, the country all made to look like a German Christmas card. But when I come to the open plains, something happens. Im home. I breathe differently./（分数：5.00

36、）(1).61 Willa Cather wrote because she found writing _.（分数：1.00）A.simple and livelyB.opened up a road to successC.neither too hard nor too easyD.interesting and enjoyable(2).What did Cather mean by “The end is nothing; the road is all“?（分数：1.00）A.Writing is the only path to success.B.Writing itself,

37、 not its result, is important.C.I enjoy writing whether it is hard or easy.D.I feel happy when I finish writing a book.(3).What was the place like where Cather grew up?（分数：1.00）A.It was cold, plain and without a church.B.It was vast, open, flat, and wild.C.It was like a German Christmas card.D.It wa

A mother wants her baby to hav

40、e the best in the ways of food, toys, clothing and equipment. Her value judgments on prices may go wrong when it comes to buying for a baby, particularly the first one. Factory producers and advertisers recognize this, and exploit it to the full. Far more is spent in buying push-chairs, special milk

41、, and special powders for small babies than is necessary.The child himself watches television, a particularly strong influence on small children. Looking at them as they watch television, and then watching them react to products afterwards, suggests that young children accept the television advertis

42、ements as well as the guidance offered by childrens pro- grams, and find both equally attractive. The child comes early in life to the feeling widespread in this country that if something is said on television it must be true.For this reason much Christmas-gift advertising, and advertising for sweet

43、s, food and washing powders, is specially designed for children because of the effect their repeated nagging can have on their mothers. By exercising in this way they become consumers at an early age and as a result, with present-day pressures, choosing and buying goods and services will remain an i

44、mportant part of their future lives.（分数：4.00）(1).According to the writer, a mother spends more than necessary on _.（分数：1.00）A.Christmas advertisingB.sweetsC.televisionD.special powders(2).The underlined word “nagging“ most probably means _.（分数：1.00）A.TV servicesB.baby powdersC.repeated demandsD.chil

46、ide the best advice to chose gifts.(4).The best title for the text could be _.（分数：1.00）A.Mothers and BabiesB.Choosing Goods for ChildrenC.Giving the Best to BabiesD.Children as ConsumersDMusicals, which developed out of the British comedy at the end of the 19th century, are stage productions that us

47、e popular-style songs and dialogs. They put together music and play, as well as song and dance.In Europe, the US and Japan, the musical is a popular form of performing art. Musicals generally attract more people than do plays or classical music concerts. However, most Chinese people are still not fa

48、miliar with this form of art.In 1987, the American musical The Music Man, a heart-warming story about a traveling sales- man who tries to trick a small town into buying his musical instruments, was introduced in China. In 1990, Sunrise was put on stage in Shanghai. It is considered the first Chinese

49、 musical in Chinas history. But neither of these achieved as great a success as had been expected. This makes it clear that in China, musicals are still at their earliest stage of development.By comparison, developed in many Western countries for years, musicals have achieved great success on Broadway (in New York City) as well as in Londons West End, both of which are famous for their musicals. The musical has become an import
