参考范文
Silence Is Not Always Gold
“Silence is gold” is a popular saying in which many people have belief. To these people speaking too much is not a merit.
However，if you always keep silent，you will probably miss many golden opportunities instead of obtaining the gold of silence. Last week I read an article written by an office lady. The company where she worked had two kinds of offices：cubicle office and window office. As a new employee she worked in a cubicle office together with twenty colleagues. Two years later she still worked there but some colleagues who came later than her had moved into the window office. She felt confused. One day one colleague told her that window office would not be granted without request. But believing that she would certainly gain one if she did a good job，the woman had never asked for it.
From the woman’s experience we learn that silence is not always gold.In the modern society one needs to express his/her mind and speak for his/her own interests.

3．The financial crisis has put the world economy in a
difficult ________.

6．________ five minutes ________，we arrived at the railway station with our heavy luggage.
A．There were；to go

10．The interview he paid little attention to ________ him the chance to work in this company.
A．being costB．be cost
C．costingD．cost
解析 interview后省略了关系代词that，that在定语从句中作paid little attention to的宾语，所以主句缺少谓语动词，故选D。
11．Many parents feel that their child’s IQ is ________ determines how well they are going to do in their future life.
A．whatB．that
C．whichD．where
解析 what在宾语从句中作is的表语，又在表语从句中作主语，具有双重功能。
12．Do remember me to your parents，________？
A．will youB．don’t you
C．do you
D．won’t you
解析 考查反意疑问句。通常肯定祈使句的反意疑问句，疑问部分用will you或won’t you；否定祈使句的反意疑问句，疑问部分用will you；而此祈使句前面加助动词do来表示强调，反意疑问句的疑问部分用will you。

Stephen Hawking，the most famous theoretical physician after Albert Einstein，author of A Brief History of Time，was to attend the opening ceremony of a mathematics institute at Zhejiang University.
Stephen Hawking was born on 8 January,1942 in Oxford，England.When he was eight，his family moved to St Albans，a town about 20 miles north of London.At the age of eleven Stephen went to St Albans School，and then went on to Oxford University，his father’s old college.Stephen wanted to do Mathematics，although his father would have preferred Medicine.Mathematics was not available at Oxford University，so he did Physics instead.After three years and not very much work he was awarded a first-class degree in Natural Science.
Stephen then went on to Cambridge to do research in Cosmology (宇宙学)，because no one worked in that area in Oxford at that time.After gaining his PhD，first he became a research fellow，and later on a professional fellow at Gonville and Caius College.After leaving the Institute of Astronomy in 1973，Stephen went to the department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics，and since 1979 he has held the post of professor of Mathematics，which was held by Isaac Newton in 1663.He is a fellow of the Royal Society and a member of the US National Academy of Science.
Stephen Hawking has been working on the basic laws that govern the universe.He is particularly interested in unifying the General Relativity Theory and Quantum Theory to study black hole.
A great man of science sitting in the wheelchair，Stephen Hawking has suffered from a serious disease for decades.In 1963，he caught a disease that couldn’t be cured then.Up to 1974，he was able to feed himself，and a private nurse went to his house for an hour or two in the morning and evening.In 1985，he caught pneumonia (肺炎) and had an operation.After the operation，he lost his ability to speak.For a time，the only way he could communicate was to spell out words letter by letter，by raising his eyebrows when someone pointed to the right letter on a spelling card.
