第三部分：阅读理解
A
According to the dictionary definition of “create”, ordinary people are creative every day. to create means “to bring into being, to cause to exist”— something each of us does daily.
We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way.First this involves an awareness of our surroundings. It means using all of our sense to become aware of our world. This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture, as well as taste, when we plan a meal. above all, it is the ability to notice things that others might miss.
A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things. If we believe the expression, “there is nothing new under the SUN,” the creativity is remaking or recombining the old in new ways. For example, we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture, or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters to create an unusual photograph. a third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas, to apply them to achieve some new results. to think up a new concept is one
thing; to put the idea to work is another.
These three parts of creativity are involved in all the great works of genius, but they are also involved in many of our day to day activities.
56. Which of the following activities is not a creative one according to the passage?
a. to prepare a meal. b. to arrange the furniture in a peculiar way.
c. to buy some books from a bookstore. d. to “write” a letter with the computer.
57. The author holds that ____.
a. creativity is of highly demand
b. creativity is connected with a deep insight to some extent
c. creativity is to create something new and concrete
d. to practise and practice is the only way to cultivate one’s creativity
58.”There is nothing new under the sun.” (par.3) really implies that ____.
a. we can seldom create new things
b. a new thing is only a tale
c. a new thing can only be created at the basis of original things
d. we can scarcely see really new things in the world
59. What does the author think about the relationship between a new thought and its being put into practice?
a. it’s more difficult to create a new thought than to apply it in practice.
b. to find a new thought will definitely lead to the production of a new thing.
c.one may come up with a new thought, but can not put it into practice.
d.a man with an excellent ability of practice can easily become an inventor.
60. The best title for this passage is ____.
a. how to cultivate one’s creativity b. what is creativity
c. the importance of creativity d. creativity — a not farway thing

What should you think about in trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at Office work .So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. Knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. you may be good at metal work or cookery(烹饪术)and look for a job where you can improve these skills.
If you have had a part-time job on saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example.Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.
Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. you may be all thumbs when you handle(运用)tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.
61. Which of the following best sums up the first paragraph?
a. the importance of doing well at school.
b. using school performance to help to choose a career.
c. the importance of being good at all subjects.
d. the indirect value of schoolwork.
62.The writer thinks that for a student to have a part-time job is probably ____.
a. a waste of time that could have been spent on studyb. useful for his future work
c. a good way to earn extra money d. a good way to find out his weak points
63. According to the passage, if a student’s school record is not good, he ____.
a. will be a complete failure in his future work b. will not be able to find a suitable jobc. will regret not having worked harder at school d. may do well in his future work
64. The whole passage centers on ____.
a. choosing a career according to what one is skilled in
b. acquiring knowledge by working hard at school
c. finding one’s strong and weak points
d. developing one’s abilities useful in school work

Even as Americans have been gaining weight, they have cut their average fat intake from 36 to 34 percent of their total diets in the past 15 years. And indeed, cutting fat to control or lose weight makes sense. Fat has nine calories per gram. protein and carbohydrates（碳水化合物） have just four. Moreover, the body uses fewer calories to metabolize fat than it does to metabolize other foods.
Compared with protein and carbohydrates — which break down into amino acids and simple sugars, respectively, and can be used to strengthen and energize the body —— dietary fat is more easily converted to body fat. Therefore , it’s more likely to stay on buttocks, thighs and bellies.
But cutting fat from your diet doesn’t necessarily mean your body won’t store fat. For example, between nonfat and regular cookies, there’s trivial difference in calories because manufacturers make up for the loss of fat by adding sugar. Low-fat crackers, soups and dressings can also be just as high in calories as richer versions. No matter where the calories come from, overeating will still cause weight again. The calories from fat just do it a little quicker. A wise consin computer programmer who decided with a diet coach to eat only 40 grams of fat a day learned the lesson firsthand. He wasn’t losing weight. Then he showed his food diary to his coach and revealed he’d been eating half a pound of jelly beans a day. “They don’t have any fat,” he explains. but they had enough sugar to keep him from shedding an ounce.
Nonfat foods become add-on foods. When we add them to our diet, we actually increase the number of calories we eat per day and gain weight. That was borne out in a
65.Why are Americans still gaining weight?
a. They eat too much fat. b. They overeat.
c. They eat low-fat crackers, soups and dressings. d. They eat sugar.
66. What lesson did the computer programmer learn?
a. Overeating will cause weight gain. b. He can eat half a pound of jelly beans a day.
c. He didn’t eat any fat. d. His coach gave him a lecture.
67. Prof. Barbara’s experiment proved that __________.
a. two groups ate the same amount of calories
b. two groups ate the same amount of yogurt
c. the “low fat” yogurt group ate significantly more calories later in the day than the other group
d. people increase the number of calories they eat per day and gain weight
68. What can you infer from the passage?
a. to keep from being overweight, people have to eat non-fat food.
b. the calories from fat just do it a little quicker than that from protein and carbohydrates.
c. people should avoid temptation.
d. Americans realize that it is necessary to count calories before eating the food.

Solar energy for your home is coming. It can help you as a single home owner. it can help the whole country as well. Whether or not solar energy can save your money depends on many things. Where you live is one factor. The type of home you have is another. Things like insulation present energy coasts, and the type of system you buy are added factors. Using solar energy can help save our precious fuel. As you know, our supplies of oil and gas are very limited. There is just not enough on hand to meet all our future energy needs. And when mother nature says that’s all, the only way we can delay hearing those words is by starting to save energy now and by using other sources, like the sun. We won’t have to worry about the sun’s running out of energy for another several billion years or so. Besides begin an endless source of energy, the use of the sun has other advantages as well. The sun doesn’t offer as many problems as other energy sources. For example, fossil fuel plants add to already high pollution levels. With solar energy, we will still need sources of energy, but we won’t need as much. That means we can cut down on our pollution problems.
With all these good points, why don’t we use more solar power? There are many reasons for this. The biggest reason is money. Until now, it was just not practical for a home owner to put in a solar unit. There were cheaper sources of energy. All that is changing now. Solar coats are starting to equal the costs of oil and electricity. Experts say that gas, oil and electricity prices will continue to rise. The demand for electricity is increasing rapidly. But new power plants will use more gas, oil or coal. Already in some places the supply of electricity is being rationed. Solar energy is now in its infancy.It could soon grow to become a major part of our nation’s energy supply.
72. Which statement best expresses the main idea?
a. Something about solar energy and pollution. b. Solar energy.
c. Energy and pollution d. Energy and money.
73. Solar energy can help us save ____.
a. the earth and natural resources b. mother nature
c. the sun d. our precious fuel
74. The sun is an endless source of energy, it will not run out of it for ____.
a. several million years b. several hundred years
c. several billion years d. several thousand years
75. Solar energy is now in its infancy, ____.
a. but it will be considered as an important part of our nation ’ s energy supply
b. yet we will build more power plants
c. and the supply of electricity will be rationed
d. but we don ’ t need practice energy rationing now

the way to success
everyone tries to achieve success in his career, but some finally succeed while others fail. why? successful people continue their cause through long period of hard work without stopping halfway.
strong will, perseverance and diligence are the three essentials of success. a man of strong will and perseverance always sticks to his cause no matter how hard it might be. diligence means steadiness in one’s work and study. without diligence no one can achieve anything.
i believe that where there is a will there is a way and that success belongs to whoever can put up
with long years of constant effort. this is the way to success.
