Part Ⅲ Reading Comprehension
Section A Directions:There are four passages in this section. Each passage is followed by five questions or incomplete statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.
Passage 1 When we are not engaged in thinking about some definite problem, we usually spend about 95 percent of our time thinking about ourselves. Now, if we stop thinking about ourselves for a while and begin to think of other persons' good points, things will be quite different. One of the most neglected virtues is appreciation. Somehow, we neglect to praise our son or daughter when he or she brings home a good report card, and we fail to encourage our children when they first succeed in baking a cake or building a birdhouse. Nothing pleases children more than this kind of parental interest and approval. The next time you enjoy delicious food at a restaurant, send word to the cook that it was excellently prepared, and when a tired salesperson shows you unusual politeness, please mention it. Every minister, lecturer and public speaker knows the discouragement of pouring himself or herself out to an audience and not receiving any appreciative comment. What applies to professionals applies doubly to workers in offices, shops and factories and our families and friends. In our interpersonal relations we should never forget that all our associates are human beings and hunger for appreciation. It is the legal tender that all souls enjoy. Try to be friendly and appreciate in your daily life, and you will be surprised how that will change your life and the world.
1. According to the passage, people ______.
A.spend a lot of time thinking about others
B.think about themselves most of the time
C.spend little time thinking about themselves
D.think more about others than themselves
A B C D
B
[解析] 事实细节题。根据文章第一段第一句“...we usually spend about 95 percent of our time thinking about ourselves.”可知，在我们不思考一些明确的问题时，一般会花百分之九十五的时间思考我们自己的事情，所以选项B“人们大部分时间是想自己的事情”符合题意。其他三项与文义不符。

A
[解析] 推理判断题。根据文章第二段第二句“Somehow，we neglect to praise our son or daughter when he or she...”可知，当孩子们把好的成绩单拿回家时，父母常常疏于表扬他们；当孩子们第一次烘焙成功或者建了一个鸟窝时，父母经常未能鼓励他们。而父母的这些表现都是作者不赞同的。因此可推知，作者批判的是忽略孩子们的成就的父母。其他三个选项与文义不符。故选A。
3. The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refers to ______.
A.delicious food
B.a restaurant
C.the cook
D.unreal politeness
A B C D
A
[解析] 事实细节题。文章第三段第一句告诉我们，下次去饭店享受到美味时，记得告诉厨师他精心准备的饭菜非常可口。根据it所在的句子“...it was excellently prepared...”可知，it指代的是前面出现过的delicious food。故选A。
4. According to the passage, ______.
A.kids need encouragement more than adults

C.appreciation is not necessary for family modern
D.everyone needs appreciation and encouragement
A B C D
D
[解析] 事实细节题。根据文章倒数第二段最后两句“In our interpersonal relations we should never forget that all our...”可知，我们不应该忘记周围所有的伙伴都很需要赏识，所以选项D“每个人都需要赏识和鼓励”符合题意。其他三个选项均与文义不符。
5. The writer believes that ______.
A.people often appreciate things other people do
B.people seldom appreciate things other people do
C.say "thanks" to someone, and you'll soon become friends
D.express your gratitude to other people, and they will pass it too
A B C D
D
[解析] 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段“Try to be friendly and appreciate in your daily life...”可知，如果在日常生活中努力表现得友好并赏识别人，你会发现它将改变你的生活甚至我们的世界。通读全文可知，本文主要讲述的是我们要对所有人表达欣赏、鼓励以及感激之情，这样别人也会把这种精神传递下去，我们的世界会变得更加美好。由此可推知，选项D“对别人表达感激，他们也会把这种精神传递下去”是本文作者所坚信的。故选D。
Passage 2 In writing Smart Thinking, I myself learnt as much as I would hope for its readers and so, in the end, it was an easy decision to produce a new edition. This second edition reflects my experiences of teaching with Smart Thinking over the years since it was first published. In revising it, I have found that much of the first edition remains valuable, and that students have learnt much from it. But I have also made some significant changes. Greater assistance has been provided in the earlier chapters of this edition to help readers with more complicated skills, and later chapters on reasoning and on research have been expanded. The final chapter is now a fully worked example of the skills offering a model of the power of the approach I am outlining. I would hope that readers will now find the journey towards greater ability in critical thinking and reasoning a little bit easier, and with a clearer goal ahead.

Passage 3 That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theatre. With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me. As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets. About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk. Suddenly I wasn't cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back where I'd heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found. Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck pall up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the inside, "Alisa Camacho?" I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eye. "Is this what you're looking for?" he asked, holding up a small square shape. It was nearly 3 A.M. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn't get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn't be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.
1. How did the writer feel when she was walking home after work?
Passage 4 Borrowing to start a business is not easy. Getting a bank loan, particularly for a new small business, is like going through the eye of a needle. Banks favor established business people with a solid credit rating and a large bank account. They should also have experience in the business they propose to enter, and offer well-prepared business plans that show the ability to repay the loans. If you are not such a person, then you need to double your preparations to convince the banker to lend you that much needed start-up capital. If your business is new and small, bankers will need to know as much as possible about you and your business. However, many small business owners often make the mistake of not being well prepared when going to the bank to apply for the loan. Surprisingly, many loan applicants don't even have the slightest idea how or when they intend to repay the money they request. Often they don't even know how much money they need. When asked how much money they want to borrow, many people give these two common responses: "How much money can I get?" and "As much as possible." Is it any wonder that lenders say no? So the most important thing is do your homework before you ask for a loan.
1. By saying "Getting a bank loan... is like going through the eye of a needle", the writer emphasizes ______.
A.the ability to borrow from a bank
B.the importance of borrowing money
C.the difficulty of getting a bank loan
D.the start-up of a new small business
A B C D
C
[解析] 事实细节题。从文章第一段第一句“Borrowing to start a business is not easy.”可知，贷款并不容易，后一句通过打比方来说明“从银行贷款很难”。故选C。

5. The writer advises that before applying for a bank loan, the applicant should ______.
A.thoroughly prepare
B.do some market research
C.learn a lot about the bank
D.know the upper limit of the loan
A B C D
A
[解析] 事实细节题。从文章最后一段可知，贷款之前最重要的事情是要做好充分准备。故选A。thoroughly prepare与being well prepared同义。

Part Ⅳ Translation Directions:You are required to read the following passage and translate the underlined sentences into Chinese. Remember to write your translation in the corresponding space on the Answer Sheet. The brand name puts a face on every company. Names like McDonald's, GM, Apple, Intel, and a large number of others have long become very popular. They've also given customers a point of reference when thinking about a company. 1 Good brand names might help companies avoid heavy costs and bring them greater profits. Usually companies create names that are easy to learn and remember. Firstly, the name should create interest. 2 Rhymes (押韵) and humor are some ways to gain interest, but there are others as well. Think about your customers and what would interest them. Secondly, the name should present a picture or image. 3 People remember them most because the name is stored in pictures and words. 4 Thirdly, the name should be meaningful associations that show the benefits customers want. Then the name should have some emotion. 5 Emotional associations are easier to learn and remember. The Love Boat, for instance, is very easy to remember. 6 Finally, the name should be simple so that it is easier to learn and remember.
