But I noticed that life must go on,and all the burdens must be 46 through forgiveness—forgiveness of yourself and others.

After we got him out,we went back to find the gun that he had thrown down His tracks showed that for two days he had circled in the forest,within 200 yards of the road His senses were so dulled by fear and tiredness that he did not hear the cars going by or see the lights at night.We found him just in time. This man,like others before him,had simply been frightened when he knew he was lost What had been a near disaster might have turned out as only a pleasant walk,if he had made a few preparations before he stepped from the highway or off a known path. Whatever sense of direction that a man may have,it?s still largely a question of observation.A skilled woodsman always keeps an eye on his surroundings.He notes the shape of a mountain,the direction water flows through a swamp,and the way a tree leans across a path.With these in mind,he is still likely to turn around many times.but he is seldom lost. There are exceptions.of course,and once in a while a man does come across some strange problem that puts him into the“lost”situation.A rainstorm or sudden blizzard may catch him without a compass (指南针) in his Darkness.Darkness may find him in a rough area,where travel is dangerous without a light. When this happens,the normal first reaction (反应) is the fear of being laughed at as a result of his poor knowledge in the woods.He may also be concerned about the inconvenience that he will cause his friends when he doesn?t show up.This false pride may lead him to keep on the move in a false effort to find his way against all difficulties. The person who thinks ahead is seldom in great danger.He?ll b e safe if he observes carefully, thinks ahead,and remains calm. 56. The author suggested that if the man had not been found, he would have ___. A. been shot by a gun B. become confused C. been attacked by wild animals D. been in great danger 57. According to the passage, if a person gets lost in the forest, at the very beginning, he would __. A. worry about being laughed at B. push himself to find his way out C. feel it is convenient to ask for help from his friends D. be concerned about being frightened by wild animals 58. When a person tries to find his way in the woods, ____ is the most important. A. intelligence B. observation C. direction D. chance 59. The author tells the story of the lost man as an example of people who __. A. go into the woods by themselves B. don?t know how to signal for help properly C. are frightened when they think they are lost D. notice everything when stepping from the highway B Suppose that you, a college student of somewhat limited means,are in the market for a used pickup trick. The following ad in a local used car publication catches your eyes. 1993 Ford Ranger,bilk,4WD,a/c, AM/FM/cass,showroom condition. Call 555-1234 after 5 p.m. This is exactly the kind of vehicle you want,so you call to enquire about the price. The price you are quoted over the phone is $2,000 lower than the price for the model with this equipment listed in a used car guidebook. Instead of being ecstatic(happy),however,you are suspicious(怀疑的). For many product,when you must pay less than the going rate,you believe you are getting a great deal. This is not necessarily the case for used cars or other durable goods(washing machines and television sets, for example)because with expensive products---or,what is essentially the same thing, products with high replacement costs----you must be particularly careful about getting a “lemon(柠檬),”or a product of substandard(低于标准)quality. In addition to asking the price,the age of a car----or any other consumer durable----is a factor when you are trying to determine whether a seller is attempting to unload a lemon. While people have all sorts of reasons for wanting to sell their cars----even relatively new cars----people hold off until they have put many thousands of miles on a car or until the used car is several years old. You would probably be as suspicious of a car that is “too new” as you would have a car that is “too good”a deal. In fact,you are probably willing to pay a high price for a high quality used car. While this price would certainly be acceptable to the seller,the competitive market might not facilitate such trades. 60. The passage is possibly intended for college students who would like to purchase a car but . A. D on?t have enough money B. have no means to earn money C. C an?t accept the price D. don?t know where to find cheaper ones 61. What does “the going rate” in paragraph 3 refer to? A. The present price B. the speed of the car C. The rising speed D. the amount of tax 62. “lemon”in this passage refers to A. a kind of fruit B. a product of inferior quality C.a kind of expensive and high-quality car D. a kind of new car 63. It can be concluded from the passage that in the used car market, A. Used car are actually expensive B. Used cars are generally cheap C. Used cars are actually brand new D. Car buyers are willing to pay a high price for a used car C Burn rate is the speed at which a startup business consumes money. My rate was $ 75,000 a month. Four months after my company was set up,I had only a quarter of the starting capital left in the bank. Looking for guidance,I went to talk to my friend,Arthur Walworth about my new venture. “Times of great change always bring out the risk-takers,”he said.“And they leave winners and losers. My grandfather invested a lot of money in a project of Thomas Edison…s that ended up in failure.” I was lost in thought at the notion of a Thomas Edison project ending in failure. Damn. It could happen to anybody!I must continue. At that time CD-ROM sales had bombed,so investors were fleeing from the field. I didn…t turn away from mine entirely,but instead linked it to the internet. My plan was to offer consumers descriptions of home-design products by using a special software and let them modify the designs. Then we can enable them to get online professional and constructional help to have their houses built,decorated and furnished according to their own choice. To realize my plan I needed investors,so 1 continued to meet regularly with venture capitalists. One said I had a great idea. But I needed to test it. Get the money somewhere. To get this money from a VC is going to cost my wife and my children!He turned down my request. Wife?Children?I barely remembered them. I was working nonstop——struggling to turn the key in the lock,to find the right way ahead. The pressure was terrible. It was just at this time that my parents and sisters stepped up. Two hundred thousand dollars. A lot of money to them,invested in this crazy son and brother without a moment…s hesitation. Dad and Morn had driven out from Chicago and seen the passion in my little office and the trouble at home. With their help my company survived and has been prospering ever since. 64. When the author…s company started operation,he had_____. A. $ 450,000 B. $ 400,000 C. $ 350,000 D. $ 300,000 65. Arthur implies that to start a business in limes of change,people have to_____. A. rely on famous people all be time B. invest as much money as possible C. face the risks of possible failure D. think about nothing but success 66. The author…s company was engaged in_____. A. furniture design and production B. online home-design service C. traditional home designing D. home decoration business 67. Faced with a very unfavorable market situation,the author decided_____. A. to improve his service B. to start a new business C. to withdraw his money D. to reduce his investment D Some pessimistic(悲观的)experts feel that the automobile is bound to fall into disuse. They see a day in the not-too-distant future when all autos will be abandoned and allowed to rust. Other authorities, however, think the auto is here to stay. They hold that the car will remain a leading means of urban travel in the foreseeable future. The motorcar will undoubtedly change significantly over the next 30 years. It should become smaller, safer, and more economical, and should not be powered by the gasoline engine. The car of the future should be more pollution-free that present types. Regardless of its power source, the auto in the future will still be the main problem in urban traffic congestion(拥挤). One supposed solution to this problem is the automated highway system. When the auto enters the highway system, a retractable(可伸缩的) arm will stop from the auto and make contact with a rail, which is similar to those powering subway trains electrically. Once attached to the rail, the car will become electrically powered from the system, and control of the vehicle will pass to central computer. The computer will then monitor all of the car?s movements. The driver will use a telephone to dial instructions about his destination into the system. The computer will calculate the best route, and reserve space for the car all the way to the correct exit from the highway. The driver will then be free to relax and wait for the buzzer(蜂鸣器) that will warn him of his coming exit. It is estimated that an automated highway will be able to handle 10,000 vehicles per hour, compared with the 1,500 to 2,000 vehicles that can be carried by a present-day highway. 68. One significant improvement in the future car will probably be_______ A. its monitoring system B. its driving system C. its power source D. its seating capacity 69. What?s the author?s main concern? A. How to cause automobiles to the pollution-free B. How to solve the problem of traffic jams C. How to make smaller and safer automobiles D. How to develop an automated subway system. 70. What provides autos with electric power in an automated highway system? A. A rail B. An engine C. A retractable arm D. A computer controller. 71. In an automated highway system , all that the driver needs to do is ____________ A. keep in the right course B. wait to arrive at his destination C. inform the system of his destination by phone D. keep the constant touch with the computer center E What do shoes say about the economy? Perhaps a lot. In the 1920s, low-heeled flapper(苍蝇拍,轻佻女子) shoes gave way to high-heel pumps and platforms during the Great Depression. In the 1970s oil crisis, platforms came back in fashion as the low-heeled sandals of the late 1960s were cast aside. In the 1990s, the low, thick heels of the "grunge" period were replaced by "Sex and the City". "Usually, in an economic downturn, heels go up and stay up — as consumers turn to a more flamboyant(艳丽的) fashions as a means of fantasy and escape," says Trevor Davis, a consumer product expert with 'International Business Machines' Global Business Services unit, in a press release. IBM conducted a study of social media posts and is predicting that women's heel heights, which are currently in nosebleed territory, are ready to come back down to Earth at any moment. Perhaps the shift signals a change in the economic outlook, or maybe it's a sign of resignation. "This time, something different is happening —perhaps a mood of long-term simplicity is evolving among consumers sparking a desire to reduce ostentation(卖弄,虚饰) in everyday settings," Davis says. IBM came to its conclusion by using special software to sort through social media posts about footwear trends. Several separate sorts were made, first broadly, and then narrowing down to bloggers who are passionate about footwear and have large followings. The result is one you won't find in the shoe store. Right now, stores are still carrying sky-high heels, but the shift to flatter shoes is on the way. In fact, discussions about increasing heel height peaked toward the end of 2009, and then declined after that. Between 2008 and 2009, the most influential bloggers wrote consistently about heels that ranged in height from five to eight inches, but by 2011 they were writing about the return of the kitten heel (中跟鞋) and the perfect flat from designers Jimmy Choo and Christian Louboutin. This is not to say that the sky-high heels are gone. Instead, Davis says, these soaring heels are discussed as glam wear and not for the office or a shopping trip. According to IBM, this study also stresses that manufacturers and retailers cannot think that they are the ones in control of where the trends head. Bloggers have become influential tastemakers in their own right. 72. What?s mainly discussed in this passage? A. Increasing heel height peaked toward the end of 2009, and then declined after that. B. In the 1920s, low-heeled flapper shoes gave way to high-heel pumps and platforms during the Great Depression. C. The height of the shoes reflects the economy. D. Bloggers have become influential tastemakers in their own right. 73. The underlined word “in nosebleed territory” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to “________”. A. extremely high B. flat C. thick D. special 74. From the passage we know that__________ A. the sky-high heels are gone. B. In the 1920s, high-heel pumps and platforms(松糕鞋) gave way to low-heeled flapper shoes during the Great Depression. C. In the 1960s the low-heeled sandals were cast aside. D. Right now, stores are still carrying sky-high heels, but the shift to flatter shoes is on the way. 75. What can we infer from the passage? A. Women?s heel heights are steady come back down to Earth at any moment. B. The global economy is recovering. C. Manufacturers and retailers are only ones in control of where the trends head. D. The soaring heels are discussed as glam wear and not for the office or a shopping trip. V.填空,每空1词(每空1分,总分10分) 1. It is more than a decade____________________ I last met my close friend. 2.
