He's the most famous businessman and the richest man in the world-worth an estimated $40 billion in 1997. Without a doubt, Bill Gates belongs in the same class as Thomas Edison, Alexander Graham Bell, and other great 21 who changed the
world. Gates' success stems from his personality: an unbelievable and at times frightening blend of high-voltage brilliance, 22 and competitiveness. When the chairman and CEO walks through the corridors of Microsoft, it is like a switch being
turned on; everything and everyone around him is charged with 10,000 volts of electricity. Gates sets the example and Microsoft employees follow. The schedule he keeps is one 23 as to what he expects from his employees. It's not unusual for the “dean" of the "Microsoft campus" to put in 16-hour days. Indeed, it there's one thing that distinguishes the Gates style, it is his time management skills. His hallmark 24 of time, energy, and focus. He always tries getting the maximum amount of work possible out of every minute. Always punctual and always in high gear, he typically leaves only the tiniest 25 in the day for eating, talking to friends or recreation.
On the subject of travel, he has become known for saving money and time as well. On business trips, he flies 26 whenever possible and in the interest of time, he never 27 his baggage. There is no time in his schedule for tourism of any kind, no excursions or sightseeing trips are on his agenda. It's just work, work, work. Gates runs his company mainly through following methods: he meets every month or so with his top management panel of experts and advisers; and most importantly, he holds two or three small 28 meetings a day with a procession of teams working
on the company's various products. He doesn't 29 anyone by name or hand out too much praise, but he does go round the table clockwise and listens carefully to everyone who has an idea. When he is unclear about something, he quizzes and challenges his staff. "Educate me on that," he might say, looking to make clear a vague statement. Every decision he makes is based on his knowledge of its merits. He doesn't need to rely on personal 30.
III. Reading Comprehension (3O'+24'+8')
Section A
Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
(A)
China's Chang'd has been operating flawlessly since it landed on the far side of the Moon in January 2019. Its arrival was later followed by the appearance of Beresheet, a probe built by the Israeli non-profit organization Spacell. It reached the Moon in April but crashed during its landing. Spacell has since announced that it intends to take another _31 . At the same time, the United States has promised to set up lunar laboratories in the near future, while Europe and Russia have also 32 plans to launch complex missions. Suddenly, everyone is going to the Moon.
After the 33 excitement over Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin's historic
mission in July 1969, public interest in the future of human space flight gradually 34 . So what has suddenly made Earth's only permanent natural satellite so popular again?
One reason for this 35 towards exploiting the Moon is that humankind has simply reached a stage of technological evolution that has enabled this progression, which is _36 to the other great trends of exploration throughout history.
David Parker from the European Space Agency sees particular _37 with our conquest of Antarctica. The Earth's southernmost continent was opened up by technological advances - motorized vehicles, air transport, radio and other developments - that are _38 in the new sciences of machine learning, sensor（传感器）technology, and robotics. These 39 to transform lunar exploration in one crucially important way: by reducing the need for the continual presence of humans in hostile environments. And the success of China's Chang'e-4 provides an example of what can be achieved without human 40 .
Mastering a harsh environment that is distant will require us to overcome all sorts of technological hurdles. Then we will be better _41 when we start looking at Mars, which is 400 million kilometers away — a million times farther from Earth than the ISS. For many space enthusiasts, the exploration and exploitation of the Moon is necessary if we are to send people to Mars. "That's the real goal for humanity," says Parker.
There is, however, another more poignant （辛酸的）reason for returning to the Moon. Six Apollo missions made it to the lunar surface, each crewed by two men. _42, only twelve humans have ever had first-hand knowledge of standing on another world, only four of whom are still alive. 43 their age, we could soon find ourselves in a time when there are no humans left with the first-hand memory of another world. I, like millions of other people, feel that it would be a 44 should this reality one day come to pass.
When the Apollo astronauts were flying to the Moon, it seemed 1ike science fiction come true. It would be good if we could bring back that sense of 45 , if nothing else.

Today's cinema has improved a great deal in presentation. Gone are the golden days when eager crowds were packed on wooden benches in poor buildings, which seemed to be about to 46 in the next minute. Audience were staring, with great interest, at the funny and amusing movements of silent figures on the screen. It was only through the body movements and facial expressions that the character's feelings could be 47 to the audience. However, film goers all the same turned a blind eye to the 48 cinema surroundings and seemed crazy about
almost all the films. Box office hits were a normal thing and stories about movie stars took full 49 of the newspapers. They were 50 on with almost all positive wordings compared with today's pitiful stars who are all the time alert to such news as divorces or affairs.
Nowadays, it is quite easy to find a cinema that exceeds the hotel luxury. Cinemas are spacious, well-lit places where one can kill time in comfort. Small favors offered by modem cinemas such as the well-printed booklets, which are 51 available, the mouth-watering snacks on sale and even the gifts are all sending the implied message to the audience that the film to watch will provide the equivalent 52 . Audience, on the other hand, don't always 53 the story. Before a film is released, the potential spectator is usually exposed to a(n) 54 of advertisements. Film trailers are seen everywhere and crew interviews are televised. And in tempting people to enter cinemas, second to none is 55 .People rely much on friends' advice in choosing films.
Once the audience have settled on the chair, the cinema is learning from the theatre. The projectionists are to give the audience time to prepare themselves for the film. Talk first 56 to whisper then dies away altogether. Spotlights are focused on the curtains which are drawn slowly apart, often in the 57 of music, to reveal title of the film. Every detail has been designed so thoughtfully that the spectator will never actually see the 58 screen, which will remind him
all too sharply that what he is about to see is nothing but different shadows flashing on the white. However much the cinema tries to 59 theatre, it fully succeeds. Nothing can 60 the awe (敬畏)and sense of expectation felt by the audience as the curtain is slowly raised

C. suffer from

Section B
Directions: Read the following four passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
（A）
There have been many great violinists but none could hold a candle to Kuznetsov, a miraculous young Russian. On his emergence while still in his teens, his playing was filled with timeless wisdom beyond his years; he now holds the stage with immense authority. So it comes no surprise that he is about to add a new string to his bow. When he performs with the English Chamber Orchestra, it will be as both soloist（独奏者）and conductor. "It's something I've often thought about,” he says.
Other musicians who have traded the bow or piano for the baton（指挥棒）have failed; the transition is not easy, of which he is aware. "The most crucial thing is the human chemistry between conductor and players. You must avoid at all costs being an outsider, as though saying to the orchestra,' You make your music while I imagine mine.
He is quite relaxed about not yet having his own hand — language — every conductor is different. Kuznetsov believes the connection between notes is not just physical, but also spiritual. Spirituality is, for Kuznetsov, the conductor's key characteristic. "And it should ideally be expressed through beauty of movement, he says. Some conductors throw themselves about, others hardly move a muscle. Where will Kuznetsov fit on that scale? ” We must wait and see," he says.
Kuznetsov himself moved straight as an arrow toward his goal. His father was an oboist(双簧管演奏者)and his mother conducted a choir, but at the age of four, young Leonid settled on the violin. "The violin is located at the front of the orchestra. It seemed very desirable to sit there and show He gave his first concert at the age of five. "When I went on stage, I bowed so deeply and so long that the audience laughed — but I knew that this was what great artists always did. I felt it was an honour for the audience to listen to me." His programme that day included Paganini variations, "which were very easy for me”.
What is his view now of the recordings he made at that age? "I didn't have the technique I have now but across the years the intuition has not changed. I still feel every time I go on stage as though I'm newborn."
Kuznetsov cautiously paces his own development. He didn't give his first performance of Beethoven's Violin Concerto until he felt ready for it, and he'll let Bach's works stay in his mind for some years.
One of Kuznetsov's admirers wonders whether he is in danger of not hanging onto “the fearlessness of youth”. On the evidence of Kuznetsov's bravely assured new interpretation of the Brahms Concerto, which he plays on a new CD release, I'd say that his fearlessness is in no danger yet.
61. Kuznetsov thinks is most important in conducting.
A. the players' recognition of the conductor
B. the understanding between the conductor and the orchestra
C. whether the conductor has cooperated with the players before
D. the conductor's and the orchestra's knowledge of the composition
62. What can be learned about Kuznetsov from the passage?
A. He isn't as enthusiastic as before about the violin.
B. He was confident while giving his first concert.
C. He didn't start to play the violin until five.
D. He plans to give Bach's works a try first.
63. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. It's easy for piano or violin players to become conductors.
B. Violin players are usually those who like to show off in an orchestra.
C. The writer thinks highly of Kuznetsov's performance as a conductor.
D. Kuznetsov hasn't decided which conductor's hand-language to follow.
64. What is the passage mainly about?
A. A violinist's understanding of music.
B. Kuznetsov's efforts that have led to his success.
C. A violinist's new attempts in his musical ambitions.
D. Kuznetsov's insight into how techniques matter in performance.

3 Schools with Amazing "Extras”

An on-campus ski resort
Taking advantage of the cold winter weather. Michigan Technological University sets itself apart with its on-campus ski resort, Mont Ripley, which is accessible and free for all students.

（C）
Alan Greenspan, Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, has succeeded in beating back shadows of rising inflation（压制通货膨胀）over the years, squeezing the nations' money supply and tugging up short-term interest rates to slow the economy. The Fed policymaker believes that the pain of higher rates is worthwhile if it leads to stable prices, promotes long-term investment and cools volatility （波动）in financial markets.
However, tight money could aggravate （恶化）an already troublesome trade - off （平衡）between foreign investment and the trade deficit （赤字）.The dollar rises and falls on foreign - exchange markets along with short-term U. S. interest rates. Higher interest rates help attract the $ 10 billion per month of foreign investment that the nation has come to rely on to finance its borrowing. Yet, if interest rates push the dollar up too far, imports would become cheaper and U. S. exporters would find it more difficult to sell overseas, reversing the progress made in reducing America's trade deficit.
Even if the Fed's inflation medicine provides a long-term cure for the economy, it will be painful in the short run. Banks have already raised their prime lending rate to 11 percent. Corporations that have taken out large loans will be squeezed. The borrowing costs the U. S. government pays will rise as well, worsening the deficit and making it even more difficult to bring the budget closer to balance.
However, so far, the markets have been impressed by Greenspan's deft moves in inflation busting (打破).Long-term interest rates have hardly risen, suggesting that the markets believe that inflation will be contained over time. Recent survey found that money managers think inflation will average only 2.5 percent annually over the next 10 years. But the Fed is committed to ratcheting inflation even lower. Greenspan wants to squeeze inflation closer to zero over the next several years to a point where families and businesses can safely ignore it when making long-term plans. But Bill Clinton (the former President), even President Barack Obama evidently believed that moderate inflation is a lesser evil than the political fallout from slower economic growth. Greenspan's toughest tasks may be to demonstrate that sound economics and good politics are one and the same.
68. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A. The contradiction between sound economics and good politics.
B. The solution to budget deficit and trade deficit.
C. A troublesome balance between short-term and long-term economic growth.
D. Greenspan VS. inflation
69. According to the passage, what would make it more difficult to close the budgetary deficit?
A. The US government would pay more interest for the foreign investment.
B. Less foreign investment could be relied on to finance the capital needs.
C. The Fed is squeezing the corporations that operate on the large loans.
D. The shortage of funds would slow down the economic growth.
70. What does the underlined word “ratchet" in paragraph 4 mean?
A. fueling B. eliminating C. checking D. stabilizing
71. According to the passage, what is likely to be a fair judgment of Alan Greenspan's program to bust inflation?
A. It is impracticable. B. There is so far no proper assessment.
C. It is effective D. It calls for a feasibility study.
72. It can be inferred from the passage that politicians and economists .
A. are the same in their strategies to adjust the economy
B. sometimes do not agree with each other on the pace of economic growth
C. yield to the will of the populace
D. both committed themselves to the balance of the budget
Section C:
Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences that you need.
A. Holding a university degree indicates one's ability to write properly worded documents.
B. If you are happy, if you live each moment for everything it is worth, then you are an intelligent person.
C. N.B.D refers to an illness that causes a person to suffer from anxiety and to have difficulty living and working as usual.
D. Similarly, money, growing old, sickness, deaths, natural disasters and accidents are all events which present problems to virtually all human beings.
E. They know how to choose happiness over depression, because they know how to deal with the problems of their lives.
F. This vision of intelligence asserts formal education and bookish excellence as the true measures of self-fulfillment.
Taking charge of yourself involves putting to rest some very prevalent myths. At the top of the list is the notion that intelligence is measured by your ability to solve complex problems, to read, write and compute at certain levels, and to resolve abstract equations quickly. 73 It encourages a kind of intellectual prejudice that has brought with it some discouraging results. We have come to believe that someone who has more educational merit badges, who is very good at some form of school discipline is "intelligent". Yet mental hospitals are filled with patients who have all of the properly lettered certificates. A truer indicator of intelligence is an effective, happy life lived each day and each present moment of every day. 74 _
Problem solving is a useful help to your happiness, but if you know that given your inability to resolve a particular concern you can still choose happiness for yourself, or at a minimum refuse to choose unhappiness, then you are intelligent. You are intelligent because you have the ultimate weapon against the big N. B. D. —Nervous Break Down.
“Intelligent" people do not have N. B. D. because they are in charge of themselves. 75
You can begin to think of yourself as truly intelligent on the basis of how you
choose to feel in the face of trying circumstances. The life struggles are pretty much the same for each of us. Everyone who is involved with other human beings in any social context has similar difficulties. Disagreements, conflicts and compromises are a part of what it means to be human.76 But some people are able to make it, to avoid immobilizing depression and unhappiness despite such occurrences, while others collapse or have an N, B. D. Those who recognize problems as a human condition and don't measure happiness by an absence of problems are the most intelligent kind of humans we know; also, the most rare.

I served in the Coast Guard during World War 11. On an especially lonely day to be at sea — Thanksgiving Day ---I began to give serious thought to a holiday that has become, for many Americans, (1) day of overeating and watching endless games of football. I decided to celebrate the true meaning of Thanksgiving by writing three very special letters, to my father, my grammar school principal and my grandma.
The texts of my letters began something like, "Here, this Thanksgiving at sea, I find my thoughts upon how much you have done for me, (2) I have never stopped and said to you how much I feel the need to thank you — “ And briefly I recalled for each of them specific acts performed on my behalf.
For instance, something uppermost about my father was how he had impressed upon me from boyhood the love of books and reading. In fact, this graduated into a family habit of after-dinner quizzes at the table about books read most recently and new words learned. My love of books never diminished and later led me toward writing books myself. So many times I have felt a sadness when (3) .(expose) to modem children so immersed in the electronic media that they have little or no awareness of the marvelous world (4). (discover) in books.

One day, a mail ship brought me responses from Grandma, Dad, and the Reverend Nelson --- and my reading of their letters left me not only astonished but more humbled than before. （7） saying they would forgive that I hadn't previously thanked them, they were thanking me — for （8） （remember） they had done anything so exceptional.
Much later, retired from the Coast Guard and trying to make a living as a writer, I never forgot （9） .those three “thank you" letters gave me an insight into how most human beings go about longing in secret （10） .more of their fellows to express appreciation for their efforts.

Section D (10')Summary Writing
Directions: Read the following three passages. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.
Imagine living on the edge of a vast desert, which is moving quietly closer to your village every day and covering your fields. The desert is on the move. This is called desertification.
Desertification occurs in regions close to an already existing desert. It generally arises from two related causes. The first is over-use of water in the area. There is not enough water in any case, and if it is not carefully used, disaster can follow. As time goes on, water shortages make farming more and more difficult. In some places, locals can remember local lakes and marshes which were once the homes for all kinds of fish and birds. They have been completely buried by the sand now. Farmers leave the land, and fields are replaced by deserts.
The second cause is misuse or over-use of the land. This means that the wrong crops are planted and need more water than is available. Ploughing large fields and removing bushes and trees means that the wind will blow away the soil. Once the soil is lost, it is hard to replace, and if there is rain, it has nowhere to go, and brings no benefit.
It is not only the farmers and villagers who suffer. Every spring, the skies over some of eastern cities, thousands of kilometers away from the deserts, can be darkened by sandstorms. Dust from deserts can have a great effect on weather systems. While desertification is perhaps being partly caused by global warming, these sandstorms can make global warming worse by adding to what is known as the
greenhouse effect.
What can be done to slow down or stop the process of desertification? A great deal of work is already under way. Obviously first steps are to find new water sources. Tree planting can help, by providing barriers between desert and rich field. Some types of grass also hold the soil together, and stop the wind taking it. Without these efforts, it will be harder and harder to stop the world's deserts in their tracks, and more and more farmers will give up and head for cities. The lesson to be learnt lies beneath the sand.
