The Man Who Achieved Everything He Could
There used to live a man who wanted to achieve everything he was capable of achieving. He was obsessed with this desire --- he ate, slept, and walked with one and only dream: --- accomplish every single thing he was able to accomplish. There were so many things he could do. He felt like the whole world could be his, 36 he set his mind to it.
He knew that his 37 had no limits. He knew that he could accumulate 38 that would dwarf (使相形见绌) that of ancient kings; he knew that he could 39 books that would shake the minds of generations; he knew that he could 40 things that would forever change the lives of millions of people. He lived, constantly feeling the power within --- and that power knew no bounds.
There was only one problem: having such a potential, but only one 41 , he had to make a choice. He had to decide where to 42 all of his ability. Making that decision was extremely hard, for any 43 meant cutting off some future achievements. In the meantime, he went to school, graduated, found a job, married, and 44 children. And he spent every minute of his spare time trying to decide 45 he should bring his potential into full play.
Time went by, and he grew 46 . Some roads he used to dream about became closed to him. But there was still so much he could accomplish.
One day, a sudden chest pain made him come home early. He dragged his feet to the bathroom. There, feeling 47 , he looked in the mirror. A worn-out, gray-haired man stared back at him. He looked 48 into these eyes and, all of a sudden, 49 one simple truth. The next moment, the pain came again, and his heart stopped 50 forever.
The truth that came upon him was rather simple: People only flatter themselves (自以为是，自鸣得意) by thinking that they could have 51 this or that if not for such-and-such circumstances. Yet this is nothing but 52 . You simply lack something that is 53 for achieving that goal you’ve never reached — a talent, a skill, willpower, 54 something else. In fact, 55 you don’t achieve is something you’re not capable of achieving.（396）

第三部分：阅读理解 （共两节，40分）
第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，共30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Is early childhood education really necessary? Early childhood education primarily focuses on learning through playing to develop the child’s physical, sensory, communicational and social development. Early childhood education has become a concern of the government, who pushes poor children to be formally trained before they are old enough for kindergarten．
There are good reasons for the government to push early childhood education. Studies have shown that orphaned children who did not receive good care and education become developmentally delayed causing failure in school, and even in life. Further studies show that poor children who take part in Head Start programs are more prepared for school, less likely to end up in Special Education classes, and are less likely to receive public help or go to prison．
There are also negative parts to putting a child in formal education programs too early. Time Magazine online explains that “the younger the child the less his chances of catching up with first-grade work.” I have personally witnessed many children of my generation who went to Head Start programs become frustrated and bored with school before they finished high school. Yet parents have been sure that the earlier the child starts school, the better off he or she is, so they push to start children earlier．
Actually while early formal education of poor children does show great gains in the early elementary years, studies also show that this head start is really a “false start”, as the gains are lost in middle and high school years. It seems that environment is a bigger factor on life’s success than early education. Head Start programs have not achieved its original goal in closing the achievement gap in poor and middle school children. Perhaps it is time to find other ways to close that gap．
56. The purpose of the government valuing the early childhood education is ________．
A. to develop the children’s communication
B. to give orphaned children good care and education
C. to get the children prepared for the kindergarten
D. to train the children formally and regularly
57. According to the studies, which of the following is True?
A. Children with good early education may have a rich life．
B. The orphaned children are usually unhappy in their life．
C. Children without early education can do well at school．
D. Head Start programs are helpful to the poor children．
58. The underlined sentence “the younger the child the less his chances of catching up with first-grade work.” suggests that _____________．
A. the early childhood education is helpless to the child’s grade
B. it is good for the young children to receive early education
C. the early education can help the children follow the grade
D. the younger the children are, the cleverer they will be
59. The author’s attitude toward the early childhood education is _________．
A. puzzling B. negative C. indifferent D. approving
B
It is official: Jim Parsons is the new poster child for geekdom.
The actor, who recently won his first Emmy for outstanding lead actor in a comedy series for his portrayal of Sheldon Cooper on the hit television show The Big Bang Theory, is the hotness right now.
Parsons is a big hit on the Web as a trending topic on Twitter and has a devoted fan base who spread their adoration via Facebook and fan sites.
Parsons is considered by many to be a central part of the sleeper success that has been The Big Bang Theory. The sitcom about two brilliant physicists and their group of friends started out slowly building buzz when it first appeared on CBS in 2007.
Since then, the show has grown into a big success for the network, even raking in fans abroad with its international distribution. In May, The New York Times reported that Warner Bros., which produces and distributes the show, had entered into “what is believed to be one of the most profitable TV deals ever” with TBS and local Fox stations.
Audiences just can’t seem to get enough of the character of Sheldon Cooper, who is as socially dysfunctional as he is bright. Admirers take to Facebook fan pages to post their favorite Sheldon quotes, including: “I’m not insane (crazy), my mother had me tested!” and “They were threatened by my intelligence and too stupid to know that’s why they hated me.”
Fans can visit Jim Parsons Online, and there is even a site, SheldonShirts.com, dedicated to the many shirts worn by the character, complete with links to where to buy them. Mary Waring created the site because of her husband’s interest in Sheldon Cooper’s shirts. And with his character’s nerdy character and addiction to all things “Star Trek,” Parsons is also a hit with fan boys and fan girls.
60. The underlined phrase “raking in” means ___________.
A. earning the support of B. making fun of
C. classifying D. comforting
61. Where are you most likely to find this passage?
A. In a biography. B. In a magazine.
C. In a talk-show program. D. In a textbook.
62. What we can infer from the passage?
A. Parsons was dreaming about the success before the comedy.
B. Mary Waring was interested in Sheldon Cooper’s shirts so she set up a website.
C. Before The Big Bang Theory, Parsons was not very popular.
D. Sheldon Cooper is a character who is intelligent as well as sociable.
63. What is the suitable title of the passage?
A. The Big Bang Theory Catching our Eyes
B. Sheldon Cooper Adored by Vast Audiences
C. Jim Parsons: Hot on Web
D. “Star Trek” loved by boys and girls
C
After the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill aimed at retaliatory(报复的) action against China for its “significantly undervalued” currency, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner urged the IMF to pressure China to adopt “more flexible, more market-directed exchange-rate management”. This is a coded message to China: You’re keeping on purpose your currency cheap, and the U.S. economy is paying the price. So cut it out --- or else. The normally dull IMF meeting became the latest battleground for the U.S. to be against a fast developing China.
Our new conventional wisdom is that China’s policy leads to make trade deficits (逆差) greater and the loss of American jobs. Dozens of candidates have run ads attacking a competitor for allowing China to take advantage of us. In the election-year view, China grew 10% annually for the past decade while maintaining low inflation(通涨) only by taking advantage of its artificially low currency. The idea that the U.S. is not responsible for its own economy is a black-is-white view. It argues that China and its currency are causing the lion’s share of harm.
This is an argument born of fear. It covers a fact that the economies of China and the U.S. have become beneficial to each other. Those trillions in reserves that China accumulates: Where do they go? Back to the U.S. in the form of lending money to the federal government. Those made-in-China goods that account for the trade deficit: Whom do they benefit? China, yes, but also American consumers and companies. Without China, American companies could not have maintained their profitability in recent years. Take two brand names, Caterpillar and Nike. Both have their products made in China, but both also view China as a fast-growing market for their products.
George Soros warned recently that a currency war could put the world into disorder more damaging than anything caused by the financial crisis of the 1930s. He’s right. Whether we like it or not, we live in a global system. The zero-sum attitude toward China and its currency is a relic, the remaining of an earlier time when nations defined economic life.
China is far from perfect and seeks its own advantage, but holding it accountable for our domestic problems is beyond outdated. It reflects a dangerous refusal to deal with the world as it is. Retaliating against China over currency will not regain high-end jobs in the U.S., which needs more our own demand. It will not renew construction or retool the American labor force. It will not rebuild rotting bridges or create a next-generation energy network.
64. Which of the following argument can be supported by the writer?
A. China is the winner in the Sino-US trade.
B. China’s rapid development over the past ten years is based on its low inflation.
C. The world’s economy will benefit from China’s policy changes on its currency.
D. The US will get hurt if it tries hard on damaging China’s economy.
65. This passage is in a tone that is ____________.
A. in favor of China B. in the shoes of US
C. blaming China’s low currency policy
D. helping IMF solve the world’s economic problem
66. The writer makes his point of view clear through the passage by using _____________.
A. reasonable analysis B. leaders’ quotations
C. figure examples D. moving stories
67. China’s currency policy ________.
A. will help increase the demand in the US
B. is unable to equip the American labor force with new working skills
C. could guide the world economy for the next decade
D. is to be controlled by the international currency groups
D
Now look at these numbers: 4, 8, 5, 3, 7, 9, 6. Read them loud. Then look away and spend 20 seconds memorizing them in order before saying them out loud again. If you speak English, you have about a 50% chance of remembering those perfectly. If you are Chinese, you’re almost certain to get it right every time. Why is that? Because we most easily memorize whatever we can say or read within a two-second period. And unlike English, the Chinese language allows them to fit all those seven numbers into two seconds.
That example comes from Stanislas Dahaene’s book The Number Sense. As Dahaene explains: Chinese number words are remarkably brief. Most of them can be spoken out in less than one-quarter of a second (for instance, 4 is “si” and 7 “qi”). Their English pronunciations are longer. The memory gap between English and Chinese apparently is entirely due to this difference in length.
There is also a big difference in how number-naming systems in Western and Asian languages are constructed. In English, we say fourteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen and nineteen, so one might expect that we would also say oneteen, twoteen, threeteen, and fiveteen. But we use a different form: eleven, twelve, thirteen and fifteen. For numbers above 20, we put the “decade” first and the unit number second (twenty-one, twenty-two), while for the teens, we do it the other way around (fourteen, seventeen, eighteen). The number system in English is highly irregular. Not so in China, Japan, and Korea. They have a logical counting system. Eleven is ten-one. Twelve is ten-two. Twenty-four is two-tens-four and so on.
That difference means that Asian children learn to count much faster than American children. Four-year-old Chinese children can count, on average, to 40, while American children only to 15. By the age of five, in other words, American children are already a year behind their Asian friends in the most fundamental of math skills.
Also Asian children can perform basic functions, such as addition, far more easily. Ask an English-speaking seven-year-old to add thirty-seven plus twenty-two in her head, and she has to change the words to numbers (37+22). Only then can she do the math: 2 plus 7 is 9 and 30 and 20 is 50, which makes 59. Ask an Asian child to add three-tens-seven and two-tens-two, and then the necessary equation(等式) is right there, in the sentence. No number translation is necessary: it’s five-tens-nine.
When it comes to math, Asians have a built-in advantage. For years, students from China, South Korea, and Japan --- outperformed their Western classmates at mathematics, and the typical assumption is that it has something to do with a kind of Asian talent for math. The differences between the number systems in the East and the West suggest something very different --- that being good at math may also be rooted in a group’s culture.
68. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. The Asian number-naming system helps grasp advanced math skills better.
B. Western culture fails to provide their children with adequate number knowledge.
C. Children in Western countries have to learn by heart the learning things.
D. Asian children’s advantage in math may be sourced from their culture.
69. What makes a Chinese easier to remember a list of numbers than an American?
A. Their understanding of numbers. B. Their mother tongue.
C. Their math education. D. Their different IQ.
70. Asian children can reach answers in basic math functions more quickly because ____________.
A. they pronounce the numbers in a shorter period
B. they practice math from an early age
C. English speaking children translate language into numbers first
D. American children can only count to 15 at the age of four

Are you a team person? Are you at your best as part of a small, tightly united group of dedicated workers? If so, the future may hold more for you than you think.
71 That’s happening in those areas of business and data processing where one person and a computer can replace a team of workers.
72 High technology has led to a new type of teamwork in a number of fields, including advertising, scientific research, engineering design, architecture and ocean exploration.
Through computer networking, scientists, engineers, and technicians at different locations — often thousands of miles apart --- can work on the same project at once. 73
Examples? An engineering team can now design and try out a robot system --- a new manufacturing process, or an entire factory — before it is built. An architectural team can do the same with a building or a bridge. A medical team can simulate a dangerous operation before performing it on a patient.
Of course, computer-assisted team effort doesn’t end with investigation and simulation. 74 “CAD-CAM --- computer-aided design and manufacture --- is breaking down barriers between traditional design and manufacturing functions.” explains Dr. Prakash Rao, an engineering manager at General Electric. “Interdisciplinary(跨学科的) teams and engineers follow a product from concept to production. Everything is interconnected like a network.”
75 A team that produces robots may use them to explore space and ocean depths. For high-technology teamwork, the future seems limitless.
A. They can exchange ideas, try out different designs, and test their results.
B. It now usually continues into actual design, manufacturing, and testing.
C. In the future, team work will be highlighted by the introduction of new technology.
D. Sometimes, a computer-aided effort can extend beyond production.
E. But, elsewhere, teamwork is very much alive.
F. It ends in the products which are extensions of the traditional design.
G. High technology, some predicted, would make team work a thing of the past.

情景作文
Dear Peter,
How are you doing with your school work recently? Today we are back at our school after the renovation. To my great joy and surprise, our school has turned on a new look! All the walls are made 10mm thicker, which can offer us a safer and warmer place to study. Walking into my classroom, I have found the walls whitewashed and old desks and chairs replaced. It looks very bright and comfortable. In the corridor four new washrooms are built and a water boiler is set to meet our needs and make our life easier and more convenient. Windows are shining with beautiful pictures hanging beside them. Oh, I really love my new home! And of course I will do more work to keep it tidy and clean.
Best regards,
Li Hua

Looking at the picture, I can see six men participating in a boat race as a group. One of the men sitting in the front of the boat is rowing the boat as hard as he could, while the other five are singing the work song together to encourage their partner.
In a boat race, a work song should be sung by one person while the others will go all out to do the rowing. The funny thing in this picture is that one man is sweating all over because he is rowing hard while the rest of the members on boat are chanting the work song with one voice.
This reminds me of what happens in our daily life. Some people like to give empty talks but refuse to do real work. This picture is making fun of these people. So I hold the view that……
