Looking back on my childhood, I am convinced 16 naturalists are born and not made. Although we were all brought 17 in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon gave up their pressed flowers and insects. 18 them, I had no ear 19 music and languages, I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.
Before World War I we 20 our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the memory of the house we lived 21 , of my room and my toys. I can hardly 22 clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered 23 door. But I do have a clear memory of the dogs, the farm 24 , the local birds and, 25 all, the insects.
I am a 26 , not a scientist. I have a strong 27 of the natural world, and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigation. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy 28 the midnight oil 29 reading about other people' s observations and discoveries. Then 30 happens that brings these observations together 31 my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy(想象),you see the answer 32 the riddle, and books, of which some might honor with the tide of scientific research.
But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist ; one of the outstanding and essential 33 required is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist requires not only 34 but also hard training, determination and a goal. A scientist, up to a point, can be made. A naturalist is 35 . If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.

Many animals recognize their food because they see it. So do humans. When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat. You can also use other senses when you choose your food. You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good. You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice. Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food. A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense.
Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda(大熊貓) eats only one particular type of bamboo(竹子). Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice. A kind of white butterfly(蝴蝶)will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden. However, most animals have a more varied diet(多樣化飲食). The bear eats fruits and fish. The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits. The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season.
Humans have a very varied diet. We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us. In countries such as France and Britain, people eat food with too much sugar. This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health. Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health. Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life.
40. We can infer from the text that humans and animals _________.
A. depend on one sense in choosing food
B. are not satisfied with their food
C. choose food in similar ways
D. eat entirely different kinds of food
41. Which of the following eats only one type of food?
A. The white butterfly.
B. The small bird.
C. The bear.
D. The fox.
42. Certain animals change their choice of food when _________.
A. the season changes
B. the food color changes
C. they move to different places
D. they are attracted by different smells
43. We can learn from the last paragraph that _________.
A. food is chosen for a good reason
B. French and British food is good
C. some people have few choices of food
D. some people care little about healthy diet

Danielle Steel, America' s sweetheart, is one of the hardest working women in the book business. Unlike other productive authors who write one book at a time, she can work on up to five. Her research time before writing takes at least three years. Once she has fully studied her subjects, ready to dive into a book, she can spend twenty hours nonstop at her desk.
Danielle Steel comes from New York and was sent to France for her education. After graduation, she worked in the public relations and advertising industries. Later she started a job as a writer which she was best fit for. Her achievements are unbelievable : 390 million copies of books in print, nearly fifty New York Times best-selling novels, and a series of "Max and Martha" picture books for children to help them deal with the real-life problems of death, new hobbies and new schools. Her 1998 book about the death of her son shot to the top of the New York Times best-selling list as soon as it came out. Twenty-eight of her books have been made into films. She is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for one of her books being the Times best-seller for 381 weeks straight.
Not content with a big house, a loving family, and a view of the Golden Gate Bridge, Danielle Steel considers her readers to be the most important resource(資源) and has kept in touch with them by e-mail. While she is often compared to the heroines(女主人公) of her own invention, her life is undoubtedly much quieter. But, if she does have anything in common with them, it is her strength of will and her inimitable(無與倫比的) style. There is only one Danielle Steel.
44. Danielle Steel is different from other writers in that
A. she can write several books at the same time
B. she often does some research before writing a book

46. One of Danielle Steel' s achievements is that
A. some TV plays were based on her books
B. her picture books attracted a lot of young men
C. one of her books became a best-seller in 1998
D. she wrote the Guinness Book of World Records
47. We can learn from the passage that Danielle Steel
A. lives an exciting life
B. values her readers a lot
C. writes about quiet women
D. is pleased with her achievements

Odland remembers as it was yesterday working in an expensive French restaurant in Denver. The ice cream he was serving fell onto the white dress of a rich and important woman.
Thirty years have passed, but Odland can' t get the memory out of his mind, nor the woman' s kind reaction (反應). She was shocked, regained calmness and, in a kind voice, told young Odland, "It' s OK. It wasn' t your fault. " When she left the restaurant, she also left the future Fortune 500 CEO (總裁) with a life lesson: You can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she treats the waiter.
Odland isn' t the only CEO to have made this discovery. Rather, it seems to be one of those few laws of the land that every CEO learns on the way up. It' s hard to get a dozen CEOs to agree about anything, but most agree with the Waiter Rule. They say how others treat the CEO says nothing. But how others treat the waiter is like a window into the soul.
Watch out for anyone who pulls out the power card to say something hke, "I could cut this place and fire you," or "I know the owner and I could have you fired. " Those who say such things have shown more about their character(人品) than about their wealth and power.
The CEO who came up with it, or at least first wrote it down, is Raytheon CEO Bill Swanson. He wrote a best-selling book called Swanson's Unwritten Rules of Management.
"A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter, or to others, is not a nice person," Swanson says, "I will never offer a job to the person who is sweet to the boss but turns rude to someone cleaning the tables. "
48. What happened after Odland dropped the ice cream onto the woman' s dress?
A. He was fired.
B. He was blamed.
C. The woman comforted him.
D. The woman left the restaurant at once.
49. Odland learned one of his life lessons from _________.
A. his experience as a waiter
B. the advice given by the CEOs .
C. an article in Fortune
D. an interesting best-selling book
50. According to the text, most CEOs have the same opinion about _________.
A. Fortune 500 companies
B. the Management Rules
C. Swanson' s book
D. the Waiter Rule
51. From the text we can learn that _________.
A. one should be nicer to important people
B. CEOs often show their power before others
C. one should respect others no matter who they are
D. CEOs often have meals in expensive restaurants

As a professor at a large American university, there is a phrase that I hear often from students: "I'm only a 1050. "The unlucky students are speaking of the score on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), which is used to determine whether they will be admitted to the college or university of their choice, or even have a chance to get a higher education at all. The SAT score, whether it is 800, 1100 or 1550, has become the focus at this time of their life.
It is obvious that if students value highly their test scores, then a great amount of their self-respect is put in the number. Students who perform poorly on the exam are left feeling that it is all over. The low test score, they think, will make it impossible for them to get into a good college. And without a degree from a prestigious university, they fear that many of life' s doors will remain forever closed.
According to a study done in the 1990s, the SAT is only a reliable indicator of a student' s future performance in most cases. Interestingly, it becomes much more accurate when it is set together with other indicators--like a student' s high school grades. Even if standardized tests like the SAT can show a student' s academic proficiency, they will never be able to test things like confidence, efforts and willpower, and are unable to give us the full picture of a student' s potentialities (潛力). This is not to suggest that we should stop using SAT scores in our college admission process. The SAT is an excellent test in many ways, and the score is still a useful means of testing students. However, it should be only one of many methods used.
52. The purpose of the SAT is to test students'
A. strong will
B. academic ability
C. full potentialities
D. confidence in schoolwork
53. Students' self-respect is influenced by their _________.
A. scores in the SAT
B. achievements in mathematics
C. job opportunities
D. money spent on education
54. A "prestigious university" is most probably _________.
A. a famous university
B. a technical university
C. a traditional university
D. an expensive university
55. This passage is mainly about _________.
A. how to prepare for the SAT
B. the stress caused by the SAT
C. American higher education
D. the SAT and its effects

One possible version:
Dear Jimmy,
Have you ever heard of the Lantern Festival in China? It's coming this Saturday. As one of the major traditional festivals, the Lantern Festival is greatly important for us Chinese people. The Festival itself and its traditional food--sweet dumplings stand for family reunion and happiness.
Would you like to come to my house at 6 p. m. this Saturday? My family will get together to enjoy a good meal to celebrate the Festival. Of course, sweet dumplings will be served. Around 8 o'clock after the dinner, we'll go to Zhongshan Park to watch beautiful lanterns and fireworks, and guess lantern riddles and so on. In my opinion, it's a really good opportunity to get to know about our traditional culture.
Please let me know as soon as possible if you can come. See you this Saturday.
Yours truly,
Li Hua
