AA jobless man applied for the position of “office boy” at Microsoft．The HR manager interviewed him and then watched him cleaning the floor as a test． “You are employed,” he said．“Give me your e-mail address and I’ll send you the application to fill in, as well as date when you may start．” The man replied, “But I don’t have a computer, neither an e-mail．” “I’m sorry,” said the HR manager．“If you don’t have an e-mail, that means you do not exist．And whoever doesn’t exist cannot have the job．” The man left with no hope at all．He didn’t know what to do, with only ten dollars in his pocket．He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy 10kg tomatoes．He then sold the tomatoes from door to door．In less than two hours, he succeeded to double his capital．He repeated the operation three times, and returned home happily with 60 dollars． The man realized that he can survive in this way, and started to go every day earlier, and return late．Thus, his money doubled or tripled every day．Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles．Five years later, the man is one of the biggest food retailers in the US． He started to plan his family’s future and decided to have a life insurance．He called an insurance broker and chose a protection plan． When the conversation was concluded the broker asked him his e-mail．The man replied, “I don’t have an e-mail．” The broker answered curiously, “You don’t have an e-mail, and yet have succeeded to build an empire．Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an e-mail?” The man thought for a while and replied, “Yes, I’d be an office boy at Microsoft!”56．Why can’t the man have the job at Microsoft?A．Because he was lazy． B．Because he didn’t pass the test． C．Because he didn’t have an e-mail． D．Because he didn’t have a computer．57．The underlined word “triple” can be replaced by ______． A．become large B．become 3 times C．increase quickly D．decrease quickly58．According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

The best speeches often take on a combination of all three of these components. However, before you can go about the writing of a great speech, it is important to set goals. Goals keep you, your speech and your audience focused.What a goal isIn the context of a speech, a goal is the purpose of the speech, and what it hopes to accomplish. For example, the goal of a eulogy (颂歌) might be to celebrate the life of a loved one. The goal of a speech at a political gathering would be to inform the crowd about the political position of a candidate and persuade them to vote and campaign for the candidate in question.Why a goal is importantWithout a goal, a speech is without direction. The goal informs the structure and content of the speech. For example, if a speech’s goal is to convince people that smoking is bad for them, the speech will be structured with persuasive arguments to back up the goal. A speech with a goal of informing the audience will keep the information fair and factual.A goal is incredibly important to the speech’s ability to connect with an audience. If the speaker is unaware of the goal of the speech, the audience will likely be unaware as well. This severely reduces the effectiveness of the message.Aside from informing the audience of the content and structure, a speech’s goal drives the speaker to greater heights. If a speaker is asked to speak on a specific subject, but never establishes the goal, they won’t know where to start in the research, organizing and writing of the speech.___________________________________If you have been charged with (被委以) delivering a speech, establishing a goal can seem difficult at first. There are several things to take into consideration. First, think about who you will be speaking to. The demographic (人口统计) of your audience will likely determine whether you will be able to persuade them, or whether they will be able to sit through. Second, think about the topic itself. If the topic is something controversial（有争议的), it may be worth your while to consider an informative approach to present both sides of the issue. Finally, consider your resources. A speech with an informative or persuasive goal usually requires a great deal of research, and sometimes takes more time to write.61. According to the passage, what three components does the best speech combine? A. Informing, delivering and entertaining. B. Informing, persuading and entertaining. C. Informing, writing and delivering. D. Informing, writing and persuading.62. The goal of a speech at a political gathering might be _______. A. to persuade the audience to vote for a candidate B. to celebrate the life of a person you admire C. to entertain the audience with humor and magic D. to persuade the audience to buy new products63. All the following indicate the importance of a speech goal EXCEPT that _______. A. a speech will lose its direction without a goal B. a speech goal can help keep the audience aware of the speech C. a speech goal can help the speaker know about the research, organizing and writing D. a speech goal makes it possible for the speaker to achieve whatever he wants in life64. Which of the following can be filled into the blank as the subtitle for the last paragraph? A. How to achieve a speech goal B. How to deliver a difficult speech C. What to consider to establish a goal D. What to consider to deliver a speech CI was very disappointed not to be able to go to the jazz concert last Friday．The advertisement in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theatre box in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 and 4:00．Since I work from 9:00 to 5:30, the only time I could go to the theatre was during my 45-minute lunch break．Unfortunately, the theatre is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good．But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip in 45 minutes．Last Monday．I stood at the bus stop for 15 minutes waiting for the bus. By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip．So I gave up and went back to the office．The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again next day．On Thursday, my luck changed．I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in exactly 20 minutes．When I got there, however, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for over an hour．Realizing I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and headed back across the town．By Friday I realized my only hope was to make the trip by taxi, it was expensive, but I felt it would be worth it to hear the concert．The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but felt like an hour to me．When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line．The reason, however, I quickly discovered, was that they had already sold all the tickets．65．The man learned that there would be a concert last Friday． A．from his friends B．from one of his work-mates C．over the radio D．from the newspaper66．He tried to go to the theatre every day but managed to get there only _______． A．once B．twice C．three times D．four times67．The underlined word “relieved” may best be replaced by ___________． A．surprised B．pleased C．puzzled D．sorryDNo one wants to be tested．We would all like to get a driver’s license without answering questions about rights of way or showing that we can parallel park a car．Many future lawyers and doctors probably wish they could join their profession without taking an exam．But tests and standards are a necessary fact of life．They protect us from unskilled drivers, harmful products and dishonest professionals．In schools too exams play a constructive role．They tell public officials whether new school programs are making a difference and where new investments are likely to pay off．They tell teachers what their students have learned——and have not．They tell parents how their children are doing compared with others of their age．They encourage students to make more effort．It is important to recall that for most of century, educators used intelligence tests to decide which children should get a high-quality education．The point of IQ testing was to find out how much children were capable of learning rather than to test what they had actually learned．Based on IQ scores, millions of children were assigned to dumbed-down (学术挑战较小的) programs instead of solid courses in science, math, history, literature and foreign language．This history reminds us that tests should be used to improve education．Every child should have access to a high - quality education．Students should have full opportunity to learn what will be tested; otherwise their scores will merely reflect whether they come from an educated family．In the past few years, we have seen the enormous benefits that flow to disadvantaged students because of the information provided by state tests．Those who fall behind are now getting extra instruction in after - school classes and summer programs．In their efforts to improve student performance, states are increasing teachers’ salaries, testing new teachers and insisting on better teacher education．Performance in education means the mastery of both knowledge and skills．This is why it is reasonable to test teachers to make sure they know their subject matter, as well as how to teach it to young children．And this is why it is reasonable to assess whether students are ready to advance to the next grade or graduate from high school．68．According to the passage, school exams enable ______． A．governments to make right policies B．students to meet their teachers’ requirements C．teachers to understand if their students have made efforts D．parents to compare their kids’ achievements across schools69．Which of the following does the author probably agree with? A．Disadvantaged students can benefit from state tests． B．Tests should focus on what students have actually learned． C．Intelligent tests decide if children should get a high - quality education． D．Intelligent tests are helpful in separating excellent students from poor ones．70．What is the purpose of the passage? A．To re - assess the value of IQ testing． B．To defend the role of testing in education． C．To explain what high - quality education means． D．To call for thorough and complete reform in education．第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
