When I was a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )teenager,I loved soccer and became a junior goalie(守门员) for Spain’s top pro team.But everything changed.It was September 1963 and the day before I turned 20 years old.
I was driving with some friends in a village outside Madrid when I was in a terrible accident.My car rolled over,and my spinal cord was damaged.My nerves were compressed,affecting my lower body.I couldn’t walk.I had trouble with my hands.My father quit(放弃)his profession for a year—quit everything—to take care of me.
After a difficult 12- ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hour operation,I stayed at hospital for three months.Then my father and my mother,Rosario,set up a little hospital room in our home.My father filled it with all the equipment I needed.
It took a long,long ti ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )me for me to fully recover.But without my father’s good care of me,I would be in a wheelchair today.
During my recuperation ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )(康复),I listened to music on the radio.When my father’s medical assistant gave me a guitar so that I could practice moving my fingers,I started strumming the instrument.I played by ear.One day I wrote my own song,La Vida Sigue Igual(Life Goes On),and when I sang it for my father,he said,“Great!That’s a beautiful song.” Then,after I learned about a national singing competition in Spain,I said to him,“I’m going to enter it.”
And in July 19 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )68,I entered the contest and sang the ballad I had written.
And I won.
I recorded the s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ong,and soon I started to hear myself singing all over the radio.It was unbelievable.I found myself with a recording contract,and my song became a No.1 hit in my country.

40.B
Arthur Miller(1915—2005) is universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists of the 20th century.Miller’s father had moved to the USA from Austria-Hungary,drawn like so many others by the “Great American Dream”.However,he experienced severe financial hardship when his family business was ruined in the Great Depression of the early 1930s.
Miller’s most famous play,Death of a Salesman,is a powerful attack on the American system,with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as indicators of worth.In Willy Loman,the hero of the play,we see a man who has got into trouble with this system.Willy is“burnt out” and in the cruel world of business there is no room for sentiment:if he can’t do the work,then he is no good to his employer,the Wagner Company,and he must go.Willy is painfully aware of this,and at a loss as to what to do with his lack of success.He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end.
When it was first ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) staged in 1949,the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews,and it won the Tony Award for Best Play,the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award,and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.It was the first play to win all three of these major awards.
Miller died of hea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rt failure at his home in Roxbury,Connecticut,on the evening of February 10,2005,the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Death of a Salesman on Broadway.

A.He suffered from severe hunger in his home country.
B.He was attracted by the “Great American Dream”.
C.He hoped to make his son a dramatist.
D.His family business failed.
解析:细节理解题。由第一段第二句“Miller’s father had moved to the USA from Austria-Hungary,drawn like so many others by the ‘Great American Dream’.”可知,他父亲搬家的原因是drawn like so many others by the “Great American Dream”,从而找到答案。
答案:B
41.The play Death of a Salesman .
A.exposes the cruelty of the American business world
B.discusses the ways to get promoted in a company
C.talks about the business career of Arthur Miller
D.focuses on the skills in doing business
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中“Dea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )th of a Salesman,is a powerful attack on the American system,with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as indicators of worth.”以及剧中主人公以自杀方式结束生命的悲惨遭遇,可推断出这部剧作揭露了美国商业界的残酷。
答案:A
42.What can we learn about Willy Loman
A.He treats his employer badly.
B.He runs the Wagner Company.
C.He is a victim of the American system.
D.He is regarded as a hero by his colleagues.
解析:推理判断题。通过第 ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )二段作者对剧中主人公Willy Loman的评价“...we see a man who has got into trouble with this system.Willy is ‘burnt out’ and in the cruel world of business there is no room for sentiment...”可以推断出Willy Loman是美国社会制度的牺牲品。
