She was so pretty, and had won so many beauty competitions that she had become very 36 . One day, the naughty cockroach (蟑螂) got fed up with her showing off, and ‎ decided  to teach her a 37 .‎ She went to see the butterfly, and in front of everyone she told her that she wasn’t really that 38 and that the butterfly only won the competitions because the judges had been 39 . In reality, the cockroach was the most beautiful.‎ The butterfly was 40 and told the cockroach, “I  will 41 you in a beauty competition, with whichever judges you yourself choose.”‎ ‎“OK, I 42 . See you on Saturday,” answered the cockroach, and left without waiting for a 43 .‎ That Saturday everyone went to  the  beauty competition. The butterfly arrived completely 44 of victory until she saw  who  the judges were: cockroaches, worms, beetles. All of them  preferred the ugliness and bad 45 of the cockroach.‎ The butterfly was left   46 and disappointed, wanting never to enter another beauty competition in her life. 47 , the cockroach forgave the butterfly for her pride and they became friends.‎ ‎36．A．pleased B．proud C．kind D．friendly ‎37．A．lesson B．class C．message D．text ‎38．A．excellent B．useful C．beautiful D．wonderful ‎39．A．fooled B．paid C．threatened D．instructed ‎40．A．sorry B．disappointed C．sad D．angry ‎41．A．aid B．show C．beat D．strike ‎42．A．accept B．object C．doubt D．know ‎43．A．competition B．word C．question D．reply ‎44．A．nervous B．confident C．clear D．afraid ‎45．A．smell B．taste C．look D．shape ‎46．A．laughing B．sobbing C．trembling D．singing ‎47．A．Certainly B．Surprisingly C．Fortunately D．Immediately B ‎ There are times when you find yourself unable to work out a problem. It is at this 48 that the way in which you use your teacher is important. With a good teacher, such times should be less 49 than with a bad one; so the worse the teacher, the more responsibility you have for your 50 ! Whatever your luck in this 51 , one thing is most significant and stays the same, whatever the quality of teaching you receive: if there is something you don't understand, you must ask, again and again if necessary, until you do understand it fully. 52 though this may seem, it is 53 unbelievable how many people would rather sit in silent ignorance than admit not understanding. To behave in such a way is the only truly 54 thing a student can do: it's a false form of pride, which is the most useless, damaging quality anyone can have, to say nothing of a student! 55 , regard your teacher as a guide or even a friend and do not sit quietly wondering what he's going ‎ on about. ‎ ‎48.

Since then, the hospital has become her second home, medicines for food, and all kinds of treatments her friends. Bea received a very special treatment when she was four years old, which would allow her to be like a normal child if successful. After that, she spent two weeks in ICU before living for four months on a separate ward(病房). Bea was allowed home in February but still needed a special tube in her nose to send in medicines every two days.‎ ‎ Her parents clean the house from top to bottom every two days and hoover(吸尘器清扫)each morning to make sure Bea is free from any possible bacteria. Anna, Bea’s mother, said, “she is weak but so strong. We’ve never seen any child stronger than her. It seems as if nothing in the world could beat her. We really hope to send her to school next year.” She used to drive on the local playground, but Bea was only allowed to watch sitting in the car. “It was heartbreaking to see Bea staring at the running and laughing children there. She never stopped fighting the disease. I know she’s dying for such a normal life.”‎ Hearing of Bea’s story, the Make-A-Wish Foundation has paid for a play park to be built in her back garden. “Bea is very brave and she has encouraged many children like her,” said the chairman of the foundation.‎ ‎56. If Bea stayed with other children freely, .‎ A. other children would have a higher chance to catch her disease B. she would catch a common cold which would kill her quickly C. her life would be in great danger as she could fall ill easily D. she would be lost in playing and forget to receive treatment ‎57. From the passage we can infer that .‎ A. Bes will need a tube in her nose all the time ‎ B. Bea has to stay in hospital until she is an adult C. Bea’s parents will send her to school next year ‎ D. Bea’s mother feels proud when talking about her B Holidays Holiday‎ News Vacancies (空位) now and in the school holidays at a country hotel in Devon. This comfortable, friendly home-from-home lies near the beautiful quiet countryside, but just a drive away from the sea. The food is simple but good. Children and pets are welcome.‎ Reduced prices for low season.‎ The ‎Snowdonia‎ ‎Center The Snowdonia‎ ‎Center for young mountain climbers has a mountain lesson. The beginners' costs are ￡57 for a week, including food and rooms. Equipment is included except walking shoes, which can be hired at a low cost.‎ ‎ You must be in good health and prepared to go through a period of body exercises. This could be the beginning of a lifetime mountain climbing adventure.‎ The World‎ ‎Sea Trip of a Lifetime Our World Sea Trip of 2008 will be unlike any holiday you have ever been on before. Instead of one hotel after another, with all its packing and unpacking waiting and traveling, you just go to bed in one country and wake up in another.‎ ‎ On board the ship, you will be well taken care of. Every meal will be first-class and every cabin like your home.‎ ‎ During the trip, you can rest on deck(甲板), enjoy yourself in the games rooms and in the evening dance to our musical team and watch our wonderful play.‎ ‎ You will visit all the places most people only dream about - from Acapulco and Hawaii to Tokyo and Hong Kong.‎ ‎ For a few thousand pounds, all you've ever hoped for can be yours.‎ C ‎ February 4, 2012 saw the take-off of a new rising NBA star-Jeremy Lin.‎ ‎ Among professional basketball players, Jeremy Lin's background is not typical. He graduated from Harvard‎ ‎University, which sends few players to the NBA, and he is the only Chinese-American NBA player. But when you watch him on the court, there is no doubt that he belongs there. He moves with speed and grace that demonstrate years of faithful practice, which is fueled by a love for basketball.‎ ‎ Lin's enjoyment of basketball actually began in Taiwan. When Lin's father moved to U.S.‎, his interest in the sport only grew and he passed on this love of basketball to his son, introducing him to the game at the age of five. The young Lin spent much of his youth playing basketball for fun.‎ ‎ In high school, Lin dreamed of playing in the NBA. When he applied for college, he was not offered a single sports scholarship. However, after his admission to Harvard, he was offered a place on its college basketball team.‎ ‎ During Lin's time at Harvard, his basketball career began to speed up. He scored 1,482 points, making him one of the highest scorers in Ivy League history. ‎ ‎ When he graduated, no professional teams offered Lin a contract, but he was invited to play in the NBA Summer League. He played well and ended up eagerly signing a contract with the Golden State Warriors.‎ ‎ At first，playing in professional games filled Lin with excitement. He treasured opportunities to meet players he had been watching on TV for years. But slowly, the excitement wore off and was replaced by anxiety. In a few very difficult months, he was cut by two teams before the New York Knicks picked him up.‎ ‎ But he had the courage and determination to stick to his dream, so he put himself into hard training to get ready for his opportunity to come. Then his moment arrived on February 4, 2012，on which his excellent performance made him famous overnight. After that, he led the Knicks to their fifth straight victory.‎ ‎ The Associated Press called Lin "the most surprising story in the NBA". Knicks ‎ fans developed the nickname for him "Linsanity" (林发疯）. Time magazine released its 2012 list of the 100 "Most Influential People in the World", Jeremy Lin included.‎ No doubt, Lin fever is continuing to spread. If you haven't already caught "Linsanity", get ready.‎ ‎64. Which of the following elements is of little help in Lin's success?‎ ‎ A. his father's influence B. his devotion to basketball ‎ C. his years of hard work D. his graduation from ‎Harvard‎ ‎University ‎65. What does the phrases "wore off" in seventh paragraph probably mean?‎ ‎ A. arose B. disappeared C. grew D. remained ‎66. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?‎ A. Lin learned to play basketball when he was eight.‎ B. Before Lin there was no Chinese-American NBA players.‎ C. Lin was excited for professional games and did a good job at the beginning.‎ D.

He was invited to play in the NBA Summer League.‎ d. He graduated from Harvard‎ ‎University.‎ e. He became famous overnight.‎ A. a, d, c, b, e B. d, b, c, a, e ‎ C. d, c, b, a, e D. a, e, d, c, b D Sharing cars to work is not unusual．But what about sharing time to raise children together? In Ningbo city of Zhejiang province in East China, young mothers in the same neighborhood pool their children together, and share the responsibility of being parents．‎ ‎ Spending every day together, but not families in this coastal city of East China, three mothers are trying a new way of raising their kids, by pooling them together．Among the mothers are both office workers and housewives．They say they do so not just because of the tight schedule．‎ ‎ Jiujiu's mother said, "By kids pooling, we mean to create an opportunity for the kids to spend time together so that we can observe our kids, learn more about them．And then we can discuss how to better bring them up．"‎ ‎ The three families have been doing so for two years, in school days and holidays．Their children have grown used to each other's company,‎ ‎ Chichi's mother said, "My son was a bit shy．We've been talking him to be more active, but he hardly changed．After joining the kids pool, suddenly we found him willing to communicate with others now．When we are not there, he has to rely on himself to get along with his pals．"‎ ‎ Generally, mothers speak highly about the pooling．The mothers describe the pooling as bringing the running water into a closed pond．It opens a window to a different world for both kids and parents．But there are moments when opinions differ．Xiaoxiao's mother said, "Sex education for example．Kids will be curious about it when they reach a certain age．Personally I want to talk with my child about it, frankly and sincerely．But the other two moms think it better not to bring it up．" Xiaoxiao's mother says her solution is to share some parenting guidebooks with other mothers and let them make the decision．‎ ‎ The headmaster of the kindergarten believes such pooling activities test not only children, but also the parents．Jin Hongqing, kindergarten headmaster said, "Parents need to be tolerant and patient．They shouldn't play the blame game when kids fight with each other．It's better to let the kids solve the issue by themselves．What they can do as parents is to communicate．"‎ ‎68.All the following aspects are the benefits of kids pooling EXCEPT__________.‎ ‎ A. It saves time and helps relieve mothers’burden.‎ ‎ B. It allows parents to learn more about kids.‎ ‎ C. It allows kids to learn to share and be independent.‎ ‎ D.

To indicate mothers think highly of kids pooling.‎ ‎70.What’s the writer’s attitude towards kids pooling?‎ ‎ A.Favorable B.Negative C.Unclear D.Doubtful ‎71. Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?‎ ‎ A.Kids pooling B.Chinese parenting C.Sharing children D.Sharing cars E I once had my Chinese MBA students brainstorming on “two-hour business plans”. I separated them into six groups and gave them an example: a restaurant chain. The more original their idea, the better, I said. Finally, five of the six groups presented plans for restaurant chains. The sixth proposed a catering(餐饮) service. Though I admitted the time limit had been difficult, I expressed my disappointment.‎ My students were middle managers, financial analysts and financiers from state-owned enterprises and global companies. They were not without talent or opinions, but they had been shaped by an educational system that rarely stressed ‎ or rewarded critical thinking or inventiveness. The scene I just described came in different forms during my two years’ teaching at the school. Papers were often copied from the Web and the Harvard Business Review. Case study debates were written up and just memorized. Students frequently said that copying is a superior business strategy, better than inventing and creating.‎ In China, every product you can imagine has been made and sold. But so few well-developed marketing and management minds have been raised that it will be a long time before most people in the world can name a Chinese brand.‎ With this problem in mind, partnerships with institutions like Yale and MIT have been established. And then there’s the “thousand-talent scheme”: this new government program is intended to improve technological modernization by attracting top foreign-trained scientists to the mainland with big money. But there are worries about China’s research environment. It's hardly known for producing independent thinking and openness, and even big salary offers may not be attractive enough to overcome this.‎ At last, for China, becoming a major world creator is not just about setting up partnerships with top Western universities. Nor is it about gathering a group of well-educated people and telling them to think creatively. It’s about establishing a rich learning environment for young minds. It’s not that simple.‎ ‎72．Why does the author feel disappointed at his students?‎ A. Because there is one group presenting a catering service.‎ B．Because the six groups made projects for restaurant chains.‎ C．Because all the students copied a case for the difficult topic.‎ D．Because the students’ ideas were lacking in creativeness.‎ ‎73．Which of the following scenes is NOT considered as lack of creation?‎ A．Papers were often downloaded from the Internet.‎ B．Students often said that copying is a preferable business strategy.‎ C．Students combine knowledge and critical thoughts to solve a problem.‎ D．Case study debates were written up as well as recited.‎ ‎74．We can infer from the passage that ___________.‎ A．China can make and sell any product all over the world.‎ B．high pay may not solve the problem of China’s research environment.‎ C．cooperation with institutions will be set up to make a Chinese brand.‎ D．the new government program is aimed at encouraging imagination.‎ ‎75．Which is the best title of the passage?‎ A．A New Way of Learning for MBA B. Reward Creative Thinking C．The Key to Make China a Creator D.
