His workmates gave a nickname(绰号) “Four dollars a bucket (桶)” to him, for he was always used to leaving an advertisement of his company “Four dollars a bucket of oil” below his name whenever and wherever he wrote down his name.‎ As time went by, people forgot his real name. Later, when Rockefeller, the board chairman of the oil company, heard of it, he was very surprised, so he invited Albert to come to his office.‎ ‎“Some people give you a nickname for ‘Four dollars a bucket’. Why aren’t you angry?” asked Rockefeller with some puzzlement in his eyes.‎ ‎“Oh! Mr. Rockefeller! I like this nickname very much, because ‘Four dollars a bucket’ is our company’s advertisement. As long as someone calls me ‘Four dollars a bucket’ once, I think it’s a free advertisement for our company. I have no reason to get angry. Don’t you think so, Mr. Rockefeller?”‎ ‎“Oh! What a fantastic man!” Rockefeller said excitedly when hearing Albert’s words. “Young man, work harder! You must succeed in the future! I believe in you!”‎ Five years later, Albert became the second board chairman after Rockefeller.‎ Later Albert said in one of his reports, “I don’t think we should feel frustrated when we have no way to do the world-shaking things. We should treat every thing actively because maybe our future success will begin from a small thing!”‎ ‎21. What was Albert in the oil company at the beginning?‎ A. A customer B. An assistant. C.

The scientists in a laboratory are experimenting on mice and they are studying the relationship between diet and health.‎ In this experiment, the scientists are studying the relationship between the amount of food the mice can eat and their health. The mice are in three groups. All these groups are receiving the same healthy diet. But the amount of food that each group is receiving is different. The first group is eating one cup of food each day, the second two cups, and the third three cups.‎ After three years, the healthiest group is the one that is only eating one cup of food each day. The mice in this group are thinner than normal mice but they are more active. Most of the day, they are running, playing with one another, and using the equipment in their cages. Also, they are living longer. Mice usually live for two years, while most of the mice in this group are still alive after three years.‎ The second group of mice is of normal weight. They are healthy, too. They are active, but not as active as the thinner mice. But they are only living about two years.‎ The last group of mice is receiving more food than the other two groups. Most ‎ of the day, these mice are eating or sleeping. They are not active. These mice are living longer than the scientists thought—about a year and a half, but they are not healthy. They are sick more often than the other two groups.‎ ‎25. The first group is the thinnest mainly because .‎ A. they run and play all day long.

Appetizers (开胃品) seem to be the name of the games as diners turn away from the more traditional three-course meal in favor of smaller snacks sampled in various types of restaurants, bars and cafes. In this way, in the course of an evening out, you might go to a restaurant for a tasty dish to eat at one end of town, to a bar with some live music at the other end, then for a coffee, and finally back to the restaurant for a further appetizer.‎ ‎ Reasons for this trend are the fact that so many different types of restaurants have been set up recently, each with their own particular type of food and special atmosphere, combined with the increased sophistication in the type of snacks being offered. Gone are the cheese sticks of the old days, when appetizers were not really taken seriously. Some favorite snacks of the moment are slices of hot pizza, creamy fish-based dishes and crispy cakes and so on.‎ ‎ Prices for appetizers are not equal to a full meal; however, their new popularity has meant that they are by no means as cheap as they used to be. Certainly, for that special occasion, a meal in a nice restaurant, complete with the piano performance, is hard to beat. However, if we see that this trend for "butterfly eating"-- moving around several different places in one evening -- continues, then all the traditional style restaurants may well have to provide their own appetizer bars as well!‎ ‎32. How are Californian people's eating habits changing?‎ ‎ A. People are dining out less. ‎ B. Californian restaurants are becoming less popular.‎ ‎ C. A full restaurant meal is losing popularity.‎ ‎ D. Most people eat less than they used to. ‎ ‎33. If you go out for an evening of appetizers, you are likely to__________.‎ ‎ A. be bored with some kinds of snacks B. need a car or a bus or other transport ‎ ‎ C. spend more time for a full meal than you would D. eat too much meat ‎34. What does the underlined words "increased sophistication" in Paragraph 2 mean?‎ ‎ A. Serving a bigger share. B. Offering better quality and variety.‎ ‎ C. Charging more for food. D. Using healthier mixture.‎ ‎35. Appetizers used to be seen as____________.‎ ‎ A. cheap meal B. relatively important C. a full meal D. an expensive meal 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Giacomo Puccini was born in 1855 and was a son of a musical director. 36 He is remembered as a master of opera.‎ ‎ 37 Many early forerunners of Impressionistic Music including Rimsky-Korsakov, Strauss, Schoenberg and Stravinsky, inspired him greatly.‎ Turandot, an opera based on an Italian drama by the same name, is by far considered to be one of Puccini’s most popular and most performed works.‎ It’s a pity that Puccini had no chance to watch his own great opera himself. 38 ‎ In this opera you can hear a traditional Chinese folk song, which is titled Molihua or Jasmine Flower. 39 Among them the version sung in Jiangsu, a province in south China, is the most popular one. By admiring the jasmine flower, the song celebrates the sweetness and beauty of romantic love. 40 In 1804 the song was published in a book by a British diplomat, making it the first Chinese folk song that gained popularity outside China.‎ A. During his music career, Puccini was also influenced by other musicians.‎ B. At the end of the 18th century, it was first translated into English.‎ C. Though Puccini received training in various areas of music, his true love was in opera.‎ D. Puccini’s operas are strong in emotion and conflict.‎ E. Turandot is performed regularly all over the world.‎ F. The opera was first performed in 1926, two years after Puccini’s death.‎ G. There are many different versions of Molihua or Jasmine Flower in different parts of China.‎ 第三部分：英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)‎ 第一节：完形填空 （共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的A、 B、C、 D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。Seventy years ago when I was 14, my father whom I loved very much passed away, and I needed to 41 for my mother and my younger brother and sister. 42 education and chance to study at school, I had no network of 43 either.
