quickly, “we don’t want to put up a statue. We would like to give a
53
to Harvard.” The president rolled his eyes and
54
at the couple and then exclaimed（呼喊）, “A building! Do you have any
55
how much a building costs? We have spent over $ 7,500,000 on the campus building at Harvard.” For a moment the lady was silent. The president was
56 , because he could get rid of them now. Then the lady turned to her husband and said quietly. “Is that all it costs to start a
57
? Why don’t we just start our own?” Her husband nodded. Since their offer was 58

they founded the University that bears their

第三部分
阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）
第一节（共15小题；每题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
I was reading these interesting stories behind a group of great logos (标志) in the world. Personally Nike is my favorite one—it’s so simple. And I liked the stories behind them, which made me forget all other things. McDonald’s, Apple, Mercedes Benz and Adidas own great logos as well, and they are among my favorites.
Nike
In the Greek myth, Nike is the goddess of victory and the source of inspiration for soldiers. This logo represents the wing in the famous statue of the Greek goddess. Nike’s logo was designed by Carolyn Davidson in 1971 for $ 35, and was registered as a trademark in 1995.
McDonald’s
The logo was designed in 1962 by Jim Schindler to resemble the archshaped(拱形的) signs on the side of the company’s then walk-up hamburger stand. Later on, the two golden arches were combined together to form the M. The McDonald’s name was added to the logo in 1968.
Apple
There are different stories behind Apple’s logo. The first logo was a reference to the religious story of Adam and Eve, in which the apple represented the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. One year later, the second logo was designed in 1977 by Steven Jobs and Ronald Wayne, and it described Sir Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree. This logo didn’t stay long. One year later it was replaced almost immediately by graphic designer Rob Janoff’s “ rainbow apple”, a rainbow- colored silhouette (轮廓)
of an apple with a bite taken out of it. And then the rainbow- colored apple was replaced by the one- colored logo in 1998. It has not been changed so far.
Mercedes Benz
The Mercedes Benz logo, which was originally created by Gottlieb Daimler in 1909, consists of a simple description of a three- pointed star that represents its rule of the land, the sea and the air. The company was founded by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach. Marcedes is the name of Maybach’s elder daughter, while Benz came as a result of a combination with Benz, Cie. and DMG in 1926.
61. What does the author think of the stories of the great logos?
A. They are boring
B. They are out of date.
C. They are attractive
D. They are practical
62. What does Nike’s logo stand for?
A. The goddess of victory
B. The source of inspiration for soldiers
C. The statue of the Greek goddess
D. The wing of the Greek goddess
63. We can learn that Apple’s present logo is______.
A. the religious story of Adam and Eve
B. a bitten apple with only one color
C. Newton’s sitting under an apple tree
D. the rainbow- colored bitten apple
64. Which of the following time orders describes the births of the great logos?
A. Mercedes Benz – McDonald’s – Nike – Apple.
B. Nike – McDonald’s – Apple – Mercedes Benz.
C. Mercedes Benz – Apple – Nike –McDonald’s.
D. Nike –Mercedes Benz –McDonald’s – Apple,
B
“Well, we’re in our new house. Let’s get a new pet to go along with it,” Mrs. Brown said to her husband.
“That sounds like a very good idea,” he answered. “Do you want to see the ads in the newspaper?”
“Let’s go to the animal shelter. Many pets there need homes. Since tomorrow is Saturday, we can both go.” she said.
The next morning the Browns met Mr. Snow at the animal shelter. “We want to be sure that the pets here go to good homes,” Mr. Snow said, “So I need to ask you some questions.”
After they talked for a while, the Browns decided to get a small dog. It wouldn’t need a big house or a big yard. A small dog would bark and warn them if someone tried to break into their house. After Mr. Snow gave the Browns a book on pet care, they chose one and wanted to take her home right away. But the animal doctor hadn’t examined her yet. So Mr. Snow told them to return on Sunday.
On Sunday afternoon the Browns went to the animal shelter. The animal doctor said, “Shadow has had all of her shots（预防针）. She will be healthy.” The Browns thanked the doctor and took Shadow home.
65. Which of the following statements is true?

LG Electronics, the world’s fourth largest cell phone producer, has added another feature to the mobile phone-reading books for the visually impaired(弱视的). The company started marketing the model, the LF1300 on Sep.18. No other people but the blind and visually-impaired with a certificate(证书) can buy the talking phone at sales shops of LG Electronics.
“The LF1300 is the world’s first mobile phone that is capable of reading books for the print-disabled, who otherwise could not enjoy them. This is not about making money but about continuing to put froth efforts to reduce the digital difference for the disabled,” LG Vice President said.
Its users can download about 300 audio (声音的) books from the Internet site of LG Sangam Library to their phones for free in two ways. One is to access the digital library’s Website on a computer designed for the blind to get the audio books and transfer them to cell phones. The other is to download the digital books directly with cell phones through the wireless net work by touching a hot key on the LF1300 phone.
On top of its unique feature of reading books, the LF1300 is no worse than the popular top-line phones in both outlooks and functionalities(功能性). The phone is armed with an MP3 player and a Bluetooth headset, enabling users to listen to the music or talk without a cord. The user interface（界面) of the LF1300 is also designed for the blind, enabling phone users to control it through a voice guidance system.
However, because the phone’s internal memory of 17MB is small even for a single audio book file, which takes up 80MB on average, a high-volume external memory is a must for the talking book services.
69.
are allowed to buy the talking phone.
A. Disabled people with a certificate
B. All the blind and poor-sighted people
C. The blind and poor-sighted with a certificate
D. Both healthy and disabled citizens
70. The users can download audio books on LF1300 by
.
A. talking to the microphone
B. touching any key
C. touching its screen
D. touching the hot key
71. What can be learned from the passage?
A. This is the first time LG Company has done something for the disabled.
B. Phone users don’t have to pay much to download the digital books.
C. LF1300 has a less attractive outlook than any other top-line phone.
D. The disadvantage of LF1300 is that it has too small internal memory.
72. The best title of the passage might be
.
A. A New Type of Cell Phone is on the Market
B. Mobile Phones Can Read Books for the Print-Disabled
C. The Disabled will Benefit from Cell Phone Producers
D. Advanced Technology Helps the Blind Read Books
D
When many people in the west think of China, the animal that they think of is the dragon. For them, the dragon is an aggressive monster that breathes fire. Many popular legends tell how dragons have killed brave knights and eaten beautiful young girls.
For Chinese people, however, the dragon is not an evil monster. It’s a cultural and spiritual symbol for prosperity and good luck. The dragon’s main task is to create harmony and bring rain. Dragons are celebrated in art and architecture, and of course the dragon dance is a very popular ritual (仪式).
China isn’t the only country to have the dragon as its symbol. Wales in the UK, has a red dragon proudly displayed on its flag. Another country in the world with a dragon on its flag is Bhutan, a tiny country between China and India.
Almost all countries in the world have an animal symbol representing their countries. This is particularly obvious during sports. The English think lions to be brave and proud animal and the English football teams have three lions on their football shirts.
Australia is famous for kangaroos, of course. The national rugby team is more commonly known as the Wallabies, a type of small kangaroo. The South African team is known as the Springboks, a type of African antelope. Likewise the New Zealanders, whether playing sports or not, are commonly known as kiwis. A kiwi is a native New Zealand bird that can’t fly.
All countries are proud of their symbols, which they feel reflect national characteristics or the beauty and variety of their natural environments. Recently, a Shanghai professor claimed that using the dragon as a national symbol could make western countries have a negative view of China. But in an Internet survey 90% of Chinese people wanted to keep the dragon.
73. In the opinion of the west, the dragon is ______.
A. a terrible animal that is not popular
B. a cultural and spiritual symbol of good luck
C. a reflection of China’s national characteristics
D. an animal that can create harmony and bring rain
74. Which of the following does NOT use the dragon as its national symbol?
A. India. B. Wales. C. Bhutan. D. China.
75. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. The national rugby team from the South Africa is well known as the Wallabies.
B. The Australian team is known as Springboks, a type of kangaroo.
C. The dragon is mentioned to have been used on the flag in two countries.
D. The New Zealanders are commonly known as kiwis only when playing sports.

The Winner’s Guide to Success
How do successful people think? What helps them to make success? To find out the answers, an American scholar recently visited some of the most successful people in America.
76
Be responsible for yourself
Sometimes you may want to blame others for your failure to get ahead.
77
You’re saying, “You have more control over my life than I do.”
Live life “on purpose”
Almost all successful people live life “on purpose”— they are doing what they believe they should and want to do. When you live your life on purpose, you’ll try your best to do your job or study as well as you can. You love what you do and you can find pleasure in what you do.
Write a plan
It is very difficult trying to get what you want without a good plan.
78
A good plan is like a map to you. Without this “map”, you may waste your time, money and also your energy; while with the “map” you’ll enjoy the “trip” and get what you want in the shortest possible time.
Be willing to pay the price
Nothing great is easy to get. So you must be ready to work hard — even harder than you have ever done. If you are not willing to pay the price, you won’t get anything valuable.
Never give up
79
When you are doing something, you must tell yourself again and again: Giving up is worse than failure because failure can be the mother of success, but giving up means the death of hope.
80
Once an American writer was writing a novel. He could not have a good ending for his book until one night when he had a very good idea. He was so excited that he made a phone call to one of his best friends. “I’ve got a perfect idea,” he said, “I’ll put it down later and show it to you.” But he never did, because he died that night. His book was left without a perfect ending. So remember, do what you can right away. Never delay at all.
A. In fact, when you say someone or something outside of yourself is stopping you from making success, you’re giving away your own power.
B. It is just like trying to drive through strange roads to a city far away.
C. Some people achieve success much later in life because they fail to realize earlier the importance of hard work.
D. Here are some keys to success that they give.
E. Make a decision
F. It seems to us that everyone knows this. But it is easier said than done.
G. Don’t delay

This morning on my way to school I was deep moved by what I saw outside a bank. An old man was counting his money in the front of the bank. Suddenly a young man came running and knocked him down. To make things bad, his money was lying in all direction. In no time the people around rush to pick the money up while the old man stood there, not know what to do. Surprisingly, everyone gave back the money they had just picked. The old man counted the money again and found that not a single bill was missed. To my great joy, there are now a lot of nice people in your life. It’s true what honesty is more important than money!

’clock last night.
In the beginning, we saw flames with thick black smoke coming out from the sixth floor; and we also heard the explosion of the gas tank. It was said that the fire started at the first floor, spreading one by one to the floors above, and finally reached the top floor.
Some windows and brick walls were burnt down because of the heat of the fire.
Many people stood outside on the streets watching the fire in horror. Many firemen and fire engines came quickly. Luckily, there was no person in the office building when the fire broke out. It took about two hours for the firemen to put out the big fire.
