Lose-Win is weak. It’s easy to get stepped on. It’s easy to be the nice guy. It’s easy to give in, all in the name of being a peacemaker.
A girl named Jenny once told me about her 36 in the world of Lose Win during her eighth grade year before she finally broke 37 of it:
My 38 with my mom all started one day 39 she said to me sarcastically(讽刺地),“Wow, you’re sure sassy(敢顶嘴的,时尚的)today.”I 40 it so literally(字面地) that then and there I decided to close myself off from her and never 41 back to her. So every time she would say something 42 I disagreed with her I would just say,“Okay, 43 you want, Mom.”
But I really got cold quickly. And my 44 began to build. One night I talked to my mom about the school homework and she said,“Oh, that’s 45 ”and then went back to mop the floor.
“Don’t you ever 46 ?”I thought. But I didn’t say anything and stormed off. She 47 had no idea I was upset. She would have been willing to talk to me had I 48 her how important it was to me.
At last, I just blew up.“Mom, this has got to 49 .You tell me everything you want me to do and I just do it because it’s 50 than fighting. Well, I ’m sick of it.”This all came as a 51 to her.
After my blowup, we felt like we were 52 all over in our relationship. But it’s getting better all the time. We discuss things now and I always 53 my felling with her.
It you adopt Lose Win as your basic 54 toward life, then people will wipe their dirty feet on you. You’ll also be 55 your true feelings deep inside. And that’s not healthy.

WIN-WIN Principle
In America, seldom do you go anywhere without a principle called WIN-WIN. It sounds strange to me at first because throughout my childhood, I have always been taught to try everything possible to win an upper-hand, rather than to help other people win. However, as time goes by, I have gradually comprehended the essence of the WIN-WIN principle—it is the attitude of seeking mutual benefit.
When I was little, I used to play Chinese checkers, which includes two basic tactics: One is to create paths for yourself; the other is to block the passages of your rival. Players may apply these two totally different approaches in the game, but the key for the player to win is to continuously create paths for himself even if his opponent may take advantage of it. Finally he can always reach the destination a few steps ahead of the other player. Meanwhile, some player may take another approach to prevent his opponent from moving forward at all costs. By this he may get a short-term benefit, but can’t fix attention on the final goal. Thus he would never truly develop further.
In the 1990s,a strategy called WIN-WIN became widespread in the western world. Its core is to achieve your objective while giving other people some benefits, so there is no real loser. One example of applying the WIN-WIN principle is the voluntary system in US. Most Americans advocate the spirit of social service and voluntary contribution. In US, schools and children’s organizations usually encourage and support kids to be engaged in community service so that the voluntary spirit can be enrooted in their minds from childhood. Moreover, a crucial standard for universities to judge new students is whether they have worked for the community or not.
In China, it is quite usual that some people are too selfish and never take other people’s interests into consideration, while someone who really has courage to do something for the public is often called“foolish”or“stupid”.Actually helping other people can be of great advantage to the helper, for he can also learn something crucial for his life such as sympathy,care,devotion,etc.
So only if you take other people’s interests into earnest consideration can you assure your own gain.
56.The purpose of the author in writing the passage is .
A.to tell us the differences between China and US
B.to tell us the differences in educational systems between China and US
C.to tell us the importance and meaning of WIN-WIN
D.to show that WIN-WIN is popular in US and China
57.From the passage we can infer that the author’s attitude to WIN-WIN is .
A.critical B.encouraging C.completely opposing D.doubtful
58.Which of the following statements is NOT true for the WIN-WIN principle ?
A.To take others’ interests into account seriously.
B.To learn something useful from our life.
C.To gain mutual benefit.
D.To try to get some benefits from others.
59.The underlined words“at all costs”in the second paragraph mean .
A.不惜任何代价 B.尽一切努力 C.完全失败 D.以全部费用
B
People travel for a lot of reasons. Some tourists go to see battlefields or religious shrines(圣地).Others are looking for culture, or simply want to have their pictures taken in front of famous places. But most European tourists are looking for a sunny beach to lie on.
Northern Europeans are willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of inconveniences for the sun because they have so little of it. Residents of cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam spend a lot of their winter in the dark because the days are so short, and much of the rest of the year is in the rain. This is the reason the Mediterranean(地中海) has always attracted them. Every summer, more than 25 million people travel to Mediterranean resorts and beaches for their vacation. They all come for the same reason: sun!
The huge crowds mean lots of money for the economies of Mediterranean countries. Italy’s 30,000 hotels are booked solidly every summer. And 13 million people camp out on French beaches, parks, and roadsides. Spain’s long sandy coastline attracts more people than anywhere else.37 million tourists visit yearly, or one tourist for every person living in Spain.
But there are signs that the area is getting more tourism than it can handle. The Mediterranean is already one of the most polluted seas on the earth. And with increased tourism, it’s getting worse. The French can’t figure out what to do with all the garbage left by campers around St.Tropez .And in many places, swimming is dangerous because of pollution.
None of this, however, is spoiling anyone’s fun. The Mediterranean gets more popular every year with tourists. Obviously, they don’t go there for clean water and solitude(独处). They tolerate traffic jams and seem to like crowded beaches. They don’t even mind the pollution. No matter how dirty the water is, the coastline still looks beautiful. And as long as the sun shines, it’s still better than sitting in the cold rain in Berlin, London, or Oslo.
60.The writer seems to imply that Europeans travel mostly for the reason that .
A. they want to see historic remains or religious spots
B. they are interested in different cultural traditions and social customs
C. they would like to take pictures in front of famous sites
D. they wish to escape from the cold, dark and rainy days at home
61.Why are cities like London, Copenhagen, and Amsterdam mentioned in Paragraph 2?
A.To show that they are not good cities in terms of geography and climate.
B.To tell us how wealthy their residents are.
C.To suggest that these cities lack places of historic interest and scenic beauty.
D.To prove that they have got more tourism than they can handle.
62.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.All the 37 million people living in Spain are tourists.
B.Every year the number of tourists to Spain almost equals that of the people living in the country.
C.Every person living in Spain has to take care of a tourist.
D.Every Spanish is visited by a tourist every year.
63.According to the passage, which of the following factors might spoil the tourists’ fun at Mediterranean resorts and beaches?
A.Polluted water. B.Crowded buses. C.Traffic jams. D.Rainy weather.

King Kong is a movie about an adventure on an island called Skull, where an oversized gorilla named Kong falls in love with a blonde beauty.
It has been 72 years since the story was first brought to the screen. But the latest movie version is a box office hit in the USA. Every 10-year-old boy knows Kong, and his image is used to sell everything from insurance to snacks.
So what is it that makes the story attractive to generations of America?
Set in the Great Depression of the 1930s,the film follows New York actress Ann Darrow, who is forced to act as a leading lady in a movie. She was taken to the Skull island, where she was caught by the Aboriginals, who wanted to sacrifice her to King Kong, a gorilla. But instead of eating Ann, King Kong saved her. He was captured and dragged back to New York. There he burst free and climbed the Empire State Building in search of Ann.
Why did King Kong appear in 1933? And why is he back now?
In 1933,a worldwide economic depression threw the future into doubt.“The monster represents American workers’ feelings at being caged by forces beyond their control,”says Gerald Molyneaux, the biographer of Charlie Chaplin.
Now, once again, Americans worry about their future in an age of terror, threatened by the presence of al-Qaida (基地组织).
But some people, on the other hand, see the movie just as what it is.
“I am confident the story is not any type of a social or political symbol,”says artist Dave Dorman, creator of the cover illustrations for the new King Kong comic books.“Sometimes an ape is just an ape.”
64.Which of the following statements is NOT true about the movie?
A.The movie called King Kong appeared 72 years ago.
B.The latest King Kong movie is very popular in the USA.
C.The movie is not well received by American girls.
D.The image of King Kong can be seen on many products.
65.Ann Darrow is kidnapped because .
A.she is attractive
B.she has been followed
C.movie makers want to sacrifice her to King Kong
D.she is needed in a movie
66.King Kong climbed the Empire State Building .
A.to look for Ann
B.just for fun
C.to enjoy the sight of New York
D.to capture the movie makers
67.What is Dave Dorman’s opinion about King Kong’ popularity?
A.King Kong reflects American workers’ feelings.
B.The movie is only a made-up story.
C.Americans doubt their future in an age of terror.
D.He doesn’t believe the story at all.
D
The radiation belts round the earth are a dangerous barrier for space flights. They are like invisible reefs(暗礁).On orbital flights close to the earth, astronauts must steer clear of them, for repeated exposure(接触) to such strong radiation would be fatal(致命的).On longer missions, men must either avoid radiation reefs or find a quick route through them.
Even after a spaceship has passed beyond the reefs and entered outer space, there is still potential danger from death rays. Just as sailors must prepare for storms at sea, space travelers have to be cautious of radiation storms that could surround them with a hail of deadly rays.
These radiation storms in the sea of space begin on the sun. For reasons still unknown, the sun sometimes shoots off great masses of fiery(炽热的) gas into space. These“solar flares”do not happen often. On short space flights one’s chances of being caught in such a storm might not be very great. But when spacemen set out on lengthy missions such as a three-year trip to Mars and back, the danger of radiation storms will be much more serious.
The radiation from solar flares attacks the earth as well as space, but we are protected by our blanket of atmosphere. People on the earth’s surface are standing at the bottom of an air ocean, for our shield of atmosphere is equal to thirty feet of water. It absorbs the cosmic rays and allows only a very few of the most powerful ones to reach sea level.
There is yet another danger that astronauts may face. Some of the planets reached at the end of a space journey may be encircled by their own dangerous ray belts. All these radiation dangers in space emphasize the strangeness of the new environment that lies beyond our atmosphere. Research during the next twenty years must be relied upon to make the risk as small as possible, so that astronauts will travel safely in their history-making journeys.
68.The air that protects the earth from cosmic rays is compared to .
A. an inner tube B. a balloon C. an ocean D. a reef
69.Which of the statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A.The radiation belts round the earth are a dangerous barrier for space flights.
B.It’s still unknown to us how the radiation storms occur.
C.The atmosphere around the earth absorbs all the cosmic rays.
D.Even in outer space,there is still potential danger from death rays.
70.The author believes that successful space travel is .
A.possible after additional research
B.interesting on the basis of present knowledge
C.possible because radiation storms will be weaker and weaker
D.inpossible considering the dangers of outer space
71.The best title for the passage may probably be .
A.Death Rays B.Danger in Space C.Radation Storms D.Solar Flares

Dear editor,
I am writing to you to talk about taking up occupations for college graduates. Nowadays many graduates are looking forward to obtaining employment in big cities, not willing to work in the countryside.
As a matter of fact, there are not enough opportunities to satisfy most of the hunters in big cities while in the countryside talented people are badly needed and a lot of posts are waiting for us. Rural areas are a vast world. You can put your abilities to good use and you’ll be able to make greater contributions to the building of new countryside.
Therefore, I believe we can have as bright a future in the country as we have in the city.
Yours,
Li Hua
