第三部分：阅读理解(共20小题，每小题2分，满分40分)

第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A, B, C和D)中 ，选出最佳选项。

A

During an exhibition show the skills of disabled people, an armless man used his mouth and feet to repair a watch. He completed the task in just a few minutes at the show, which was held in Beijing last Saturday. Just imagine the tiny parts that make up a watch. You have to wonder how the disabled man developed such a skill.

It was reported that 28-year-old Wang Jianghai lost his arms in an accident when he was five and began learning to repair watches at the age of 17. He has repaired more than 10,000 watches in the past 11 years.

What strong self-confidence he must have to overcome the difficulties in getting this skill! What optimism he must have to face the unfairness of his hard life! And what strong determination he must have to go through the hardship in his struggle for a normal life! Such confidence, optimism and willpower are exactly the qualities many physically healthy people lack nowadays. Wang has set a good example for young people.

But today's youth seem to be more interested with their TV stars and pop singers but less interested in learning from the examples of working and studying hard to achieve higher goals. . That is undoubtedly the result of the influence of a changing social atmosphere. One must admit that there is a trend towards hedonism in our society. People are increasingly more concerned about material gains than about spiritual pursuits. While adults know they must work hard whatever way they choose to materialize the gains, the younger generation are more likely to seek ease and comforts of their senses.

This pleasure-seeking trend provides a huge market for the entertainment industry and the mass media. The media devote excessive too much coverage to anecdotes of pop and TV stars, which in turn fans wider and stronger enthusiasm for entertainment among the public, especially young people.

Ours is a developing country. Global competition in the growth of national strength presents a demand for China to be quicker in its development. We cannot afford to lose time. We need to make our economy more powerful. To meet this need, all of us should maintain our tradition of working hard and overcoming difficulties.

56. A particular mention made of Wang Jianghai’s story in the first two paragraphs _____.

A. serves as a description of the trend today B. serves as an introduction to the discussion

C. shows a disagreement of views    D. show the popularity of the TV stars and pop singers

57. Which of the following is the reason for young people’s increasing interest in entertainment?

A. Young people are taught by adults to seek pleasure of senses.

B. Young people have given up our traditional value of hard working completely

C. Young people are not interested in learning from the examples of hard working at all.

D. Young people are far too much influenced by too much entertainment news in media.

58. The underlined word “hedonism” (paragraph 4) means “________”.

A. a material           B. spiritual gains

C. thinking pleasure is the most important  D. amusement

B

What do you see from a handful of seeds? Some see green plants, some see blooming flowers, or just seeds. But one group of Shanghai students saw an opportu¬nity to make money.

Eight students from No 2 Secondary School Attached to East China Normal Uni¬versity started a virtual company selling different seeds and seed products. They successfully sold 28 pictures pasted with different seeds at a campus auction a week a¬go. The company, which has recruited around 20 student staff members, has earned over 2000 yuan in the past three months.

"We donated part of the money to a poor school in the countryside of Anhui Province. It's great to realize our ideal of ‘spreading love and culture with seeds’ after many tests and lots of hard work," said Senior 2 Shi Chen, CEO of the compa¬ny.

Just like any other company, Shi's didn't develop smoothly. Shi and her young colleagues used to sell fresh flowers and old books, and later found seeds might be something that their company could engage in. They bought seeds of various plants and flowers at low prices from a local farm and sold them in schools or on streets. The creative students also made accessories and pictures with different seeds.

With little business knowledge, the students had to learn new skills as the lead¬ers of different departments, such as public relations (PR), sales and marketing. They persuaded a joint Sino-French company near their school to give them training in business management. They also asked some local businessmen to act as their consul¬tants.

"They helped us overcome our shyness. We also learned quite a lot of business theory. I found communication skills and teamwork are very important for my job," said Senior 1 Qian Yifei.

The 16-year-old was elected as PR manager thanks to her talent for speaking. She is also in charge of after sales service, dealing with complaints and providing suggestions.

As the head of the company, CEO Shi has a lot more to think about. First of all, she has to learn how to make her colleagues work efficiently as the company only opens at weekends due to all their studies. So she established a system to evaluate every one's performance, in terms of punctuality, efficiency, profits knowledge and so on.

"It makes the company more formal," she said.

59. What is the purpose of opening the company?

A. To earn money for their education fees.

B. To spread love and culture with seeds.

C. To see whether they can open a company.

D. To collect money to open a Hope School.

60. At a campus auction a week ago, they ________ .

A. sold 28 green plants with different flowers

B. sold 28 seeds pasted with different pictures

C. sold 28 pictures pasted with different seeds

D. sold 28 flowers pasted with different pictures

61. According to Qian Yifei, what matters most in dealing with public relations?

A. Communication skills and teamwork.

B. Creative and critical thinking.

C. Educational background.

D. Business theories.

62. What does the word "it" (in the last paragraph) refer to?

A. Selling seeds.

B. To have a person as CEO.

C. Every colleague’s performance.

D. To make her colleagues work efficiently.

63. What can we learn from the passage?

A. The company is owned by 8 students.

B. The company is over-night successful.

C. The company gets a lot of help from others.

D. The company sells old books and fresh flowers.
