          years, he learned to speak English and repeated his college education and teacher training. 
               In 1974, Mr. Escalante was hired at Garfield High School to teach mathematics. The school was in a

           work.
               Jaime Escalante started an advanced math program with a small group of students. Advanced Placement is a program of collegelevel classes and tests. In 1982, eighteen of his students took the Advanced Placement test in calculus(微積分學(xué)). They all passed.
              The officials at the testing company suspected the students of cheating. Mr. Escalante protested(抗議). He said the students were being rejected because they were from a poor school. He urged his students to
           take the test again.
               Twelve of the students repeated the test. And again, They all passed. Five earned top scores. Mr.
           Escalante's students went on to become engineers, scientists and university professors. 
               Jaime Escalante received many teaching awards. A movie about his success, Stand and Deliver, was
           released in 1988. It influenced other teachers to use his methods.
              Jaime Escalante retired from teaching in 1998 and later moved back to Bolivia with his wife. He died 
          when he was seventynine years old.

               Bill Gates was born on October 28th, 1955. He and his two sisters grew up in Seattle. Their father, 
          William H. Gates II, was a Seattle lawyer. Mary Gates, their late mother, was a school teacher. Gates 
          attended public elementary school before moving on to the private Lakeside School in North Seattle. It 
          was at Lakeside that Gates began his career in personal computer soft-ware, programming computers 
          at age 13.
               In 1973, Gates entered Harvard University as a freshman, where he lived down the hall from Steve 
          Ballmer, who is now Microsoft's president. While at Harvard, Gates developed a version (版本) of the 
          programming language BASIC for the first microcomputer—the MITS Astair. In his junior year, Gates 
          dropped out of Harvard to devote his energies full-time to Microsoft, a company he had started in 1975 
          with his boyhood friend Paul Allen. Guided by a belief that the personal computer would be a valuable 
          tool on every office desk-top and in every home, they began developing software for personal computers.
               Gates' foresight has led to the success of Microsoft and the software industry. He plays an important 
          role in the technical development of new products. Much of his time is devoted to meeting with customers and staying in touch with Microsoft employees around the world through e-mail.
               In the dozen years since Microsoft went public, Gates has donated more than $ 800 million to charities (慈善機構(gòu)), including $ 200 million to the Gates Library Foundation to help libraries in North America 
          make use of new technologies and the Information Age. 
          1. Where did Bill Gates begin his career in personal computer software?
          A. At public elementary school.
          B. At the private Lakeside School.
          C. At Harvard University.
          D. At Microsoft Company. 
          2. Why did he drop out of Harvard?
          A. To change school.

          閱讀理解
               For many people, the name Baskin-Robbins is linked to sweet memories of eating ice cream. Irvine 
          Robbins, who helped create this famous company, died in May at the age of ninety. His life's work of 
          making fun and exciting ice cream flavors changed the way Americans enjoy this food. 
               Irvine Robbins opened his first ice cream store in 1945 in California. At the time, there were no stores 
          that sold only ice cream. His sister's husband, Burton Baskin, also opened his own ice cream stores. 
               In 1948 they combined their six stores into one business. Baskin and Robbins realized that they were
           too busy to operate each store well. So, they decided to sell part of each operation to the manager of that store. This permitted the company to grow quickly. 
               By 1953, they renamed their company Baskin-Robbins. They advertised that they sold 31 kinds of
           ice cream to show the many choices buyers had. There was one flavor for every day of the month. 
               Robbins and Baskin sold "Lunar Cheesecake" the day after astronauts landed on the moon in 1969.
           Other flavors included "ChaChaCha", for cherry chocolate chip, and Robbins' personal favorile "Jamoca 
          Almond Fudge". They said: "We sell fun, not just ice cream. "
               By 1967, there were 500 Baskin-Robbins stores in the United States. The business partners sold
           their company that year. Today, there are more than 5,800 Baskin-Robbins stores around the world. 

          1. What is the main idea of the passage?
          A. The managers of Baskin-Robbins.   
          B. The start of Baskin-Robbins. 
          C. The production of Baskin Robbins. 
           D. The great success of Baskin-Robbins. 

          2. From the text we learn that _____. 
          A. Baskin-Robbins was the only shop selling ice cream in 1945
          B. Baskin-Robbins was famous for their special ice cream flavors
          C. Baskin-Robbins grew quickly because they combined their other stores together
          D. there had been more than 5,800 Baskin-Robbins stores around the world by 1967

          3. What was probably the main reason for Baskin-Robbins' success?
          A. They sold not only ice cream, but fun. 
          B. They renamed their company. 
          C. They put all their hearts into the business. 
          D. They sold "Lunar Cheesecake". 

          4. It can be inferred from Paragraph 5 that
          A. Jamoca Almond Fudge is Baskins' favourite
          B. Cherry chocolate chip sells best
          C. Robbins and Baskin were good at inventing new ice creams
          D. Lunar cheesecake was invented for the astronauts

               Winston Churchill was one of the great men of his age. To show their respect for him, the British 
          lawmakers asked a fine artist, Graham Sutherland, to paint Winston Churchill's picture. When it was 
          completed, it was presented to him, at a grand affair in the Westminster Hall, at the House of Commons (下議院).
               There is a famous film that shows Churchill accepting the gift. He describes the painting as "a 
          remarkable example of modern art", which draws loud laughter.
               In fact he must have been unhappy with the painting. Sutherland later reported that he asked whether
           it was to be painted with a "happy" or "angry" attitude. "Angry," replied Churchill. At the time, Churchill 
          was coming to the end of his political life and was unhappy that people wanted him to end his career.
               Some twenty years later it was revealed that Lady Churchill hated the painting so much that she had it 
          destroyed. "It was preying on (折磨) his mind," she was reported as saying. 
               A leading art critic was asked what he thought about the matter. He said he could understand Lady 
          Churchill and had pity on her. Graham Sutherland was a very honest artist, who could only paint what 
          he saw. At the time it was painted, Churchill was an old man, worried by the thought that he would have
           to end his political career soon. But Lady Churchill shouldn't have had the painting destroyed. It could
           have been stored away until after their deaths.
          1. Why did the British lawmakers ask Graham Sutherland to paint a picture of Winston Churchill?
          A. To show their respect for him.        
          B. To make Churchill happy.
          C. To put it in the Westminster Hall.        
          D. To make Churchill unhappy. 
          2. Where was the painting of Winston Churchill after it was finished?
          A. In Churchill’s home.                  
          B. In Churchill's office.
          C. In the Westminster Hall.               
          D. In a busy town square.
          3. Why was Churchill actually unhappy at that time?
          A. Because he had to retire anti put an end to his political life.
          B. Because the painting did not look like him one little bit.
          C. Because Lady Churchill was not happy with the painting.
          D. Because he was so very sick and did not feel well at all.
          4. What is the author's attitude towards the painting being destroyed?
          A. Approval.    
          B. Disapproval.      
          C. Anger.       
          D. Indifference.

          he knew it would not be easy to get it.But he changed his mind.He sang a piece from an Italian opera 
          for Gershwin.He had sung only a few minutes when Gershwin offered him the part.He became famous
           because of the part in Porgy and Bess.
               Todd Duncan gained fame as an opera singer and concert artist.But his greatest love in music was

               There are more than one billion people around the world who smoke. Bill Gates, cofounder and 
          former CEO of Microsoft, wants them all to quit. So does New York City's mayor Michael Bloomberg. 
          This week, the Gates Foundation, a charity organization set up by Bill Gates and his wife, Melinda, 
          teamed up with Bloomberg to donate $500 million over the next five years to antitobacco programs.     
               Bloomberg is no stranger to antitobacco plans. He has been fighting tobaccouse in New York City 
          for years. In 2002, Bloomberg pushed for a ban on smoking in all New York City restaurants.     
               Bloomberg's Initiative to Reduce Tobacco Use was created in 2005.  It aims to discourage smoking 
          trends around the world by working to change tobacco's image, protect nonsmokers from secondhand 
          smoke, and help people quit. Bloomberg gave $ 125 million to start the program. Now, he is adding 
          another $ 250 million. The Gates Foundation will invest $ 125 million over five years to fight the tobacco 
          epidemic, including a $ 24 million gift directly to the Bloomberg Initiative.     
               The money donated by the Gates Foundation will support antismoking efforts in developing countries 
          where tobacco use is the highest. "Tobaccocaused diseases have become one of the greatest health 
          challenges facing developing countries," Gates says. In addition to donating to the Bloomberg Initiative, 
          the Gates Foundation will also help prevent the tobacco epidemic from taking root in Africa. "The 
          epidemic in Africa is not well advanced," Gates explains. "That means that we can catch it at an early 
          stage."
               Tobaccouse kills more than five million people every year. If the trend doesn't change, more than one 
          billion people could die of tobaccorelated illnesses this century. Gates and Bloomberg have high hopes to 
          change these statistics. "Together we can make a clear, measurable difference, not just for ourselves and 
          our generation, but for the generations that come after us," says Bloomberg.

               Mother Teresa, whose name was Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu, was born on August 26th, 1910 in Skopje, Macedonia. She always wrote her birthday as 27th of August because it was the day of her baptism 
          (洗禮), which was always more important to her than her birthday. For her work with the poor around the world, she received the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize.
               In 1928, she accepted a religious order and took the name Teresa. The order immediately sent her to 
          India. A few years later, she began teaching in Calcutta. In 1948 the Catholic (天主教的) Church agreed her request and let her enter the convent (女修道院) and she began to work for the poor people. She 
          became an Indian citizen in the following year. In 1950, she set up a religious organization in Calcutta. The organization provided food for the poor people and then she set up hospitals, schools, youth centers, and 
          homes for the sick and the dying poor. It now has branches in 50 Indian cities and 30 other countries.
               Besides the 1979 Nobel Peace Prize, Mother Teresa has received other awards for her work with the poor people. 
               On September 5th, 1997, Mother Teresa passed away, but she will continue to inspire people all over 
          the world           through her lasting present of love and faith. Mother Teresa often reminded the world that she 
          was a nun (修女), not a social worker, and that prayer and communication with God were at the deepest heart of her every action.

          閱讀理解。
               When Mary Moore began her high school in 1951, her mother told her, "Be sure and take a typing
           course so when this show business thing doesn't work out, you'll have something to rely on." Mary 
          responded in typical teenage fashion. From that moment on, "the very last thing I ever thought about 
          doing was taking a typing course," she recalls.
              The show business thing worked out, of course. In her career, Mary won many awards. Only recently, when she began to write Growing Up Again, did she regret ignoring her morn," I don't know how to use 
          a computer," she admits.
              Unlike her 1995 autobiography, After All, her second book is less about life as an
          award-winning actress and more about living with diabetes (糖尿病). All the money from the book is
           intended for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), an organization she serves as
           international chairman. "I felt there was a need for a book like this," she says."I didn't want to lecture, but
           I wanted other diabetics to know that things get better when we're self-controlled and do our part in
           managing the disease."
              But she hasn't always practiced what she teaches. In her book, she describes that awful day, almost
           40 years ago, when she received two pieces of life-changing news. First, she had lost the baby she was
           carrying, and second, tests showed that she had diabetes. In a childlike act, she left the hospital and
           treated herself to a box of doughnuts (甜甜圈). Years would pass before she realized she had to grow
           up-again-and take control of her diabetes, not let it control her. Only then did she kick her 
          three-pack-a-day cigarette habit, overcome her addiction to alcohol, and begin to follow a balanced diet.
              Although her disease has affected her eyesight and forced her to the sidelines of the dance floor, she
           refuses to fall into self-pity. "Everybody on earth can ask, 'why me?' about something or other," she
           insists. "It doesn't do any good. No one is immune (免疫的) to heartache, pain, and disappointments. 
          Sometimes we can make things better by helping others. I've come to realize the importance of that as 
          I've grown up this second time. I want to speak out and be as helpful as I can be."
          1. Why did Mary feel regretful?  
          A. She didn't achieve her ambition.
          B. She didn't take care of her mother.
          C. She didn't complete her high school.
          D. She didn't follow her mother's advice.
          2.We can know that before 1995 Mary         .  
          A. had two books published
          B. received many career awards
          C. knew how to use a computer
          D. supported the JDRF by writing
          3. Mary's second book Growing Up Again is mainly about her ____.
          A. living with diabetes
          B. successful show business
          C. service for an organization
          D. remembrance of her mother
          4. When Mary received the life-changing news, she ____.
