　　Warren Buffett

　　For someone who is such a successful investor,

　　Warren Buffett comes off as a pretty ordinary guy. He was born on August 30, 1930. __71__ He used to go door璽o璬oor and sell soda water. When his family moved to Washington, Buffett became a paperboy for The Washington Post. Buffett ran his five paper routes and even added magazines to round out his product offerings. While

　　ostill in school, he was making$ 175 a month, a full璽ime wage for many men.

　　a__72__ He spent $ 1,200 on 40 acres of farmland in Nebraska. He and a friend also made $ 50 a week by placing pinball machines in barber shops. They called their venture(企业) Wilson Coin Operated Machine Co.

　　Already a successful small­time businessman, Buffett wasn't interested in going to college

　　but ended up at the University of Pennsylvania梙is father encouraged him to go. __73__ But he was turned down, which had to be one of the worst admission decisions in Harvard history.

　　The

　　outcome affected Buffetft's life, for he ended up attending Columbia Business School, where he studied under Professor Benjamin Graham

　　the father of securities analysis who provided the foundation (基础) for Buffett's investment strategy.

　　From the beginning,

　　Buffett made his fortune from investing. He started with all the money he had made from selling soda water,

　　delivering papers,

　　and operating pinball machines. Between 1950 and 1956, he grew his $ 9,800 to $ 14,000. __74__

　　And then he gradually drew in other investors through word of mouth and very attractive terms.

　　__75__ He doesn't collect houses or cars or works of art, and he disdains(鄙视) companies that waste money on expensive cars, private dining rooms, and high­priced real villas. He is a creature of habit—same house, same office, same city, same soda water.

　　A. Then Buffett applied to Harvard Business School.

　　B. Buffett is more likely to be found in a four­star restaurant.

　　C．When he was

　　14, Buffett developed great interest in investment.

　　D．Even as a young child, Buffett was serious about making money.

　　E. One thing is for sure about Buffett: he is happy to do what he is doing.

　　mirrors his lifestyle and his overall philosophy.

　　第四部分：任务型阅读(共10小题：每小题1分，满分10分)

　　请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单

　　词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填1个单词。

　　Did you know that falling down is the leading cause of injury death for Americans aged 65 and older?

　　Each year 35 to 40 percent of older adult Americans fall at least once.

　　Falling down is not just the result of getting older. Falling can be caused by a variety of circumstances, and many falls can be prevented.

　　Here are 4 simple steps you can take to significantly reduce your risk of injury from falling down.

　　Improve Your Body Balance with Exercise to Prevent Falling

　　● If you don’t have a regular exercise program, start one. Lack of exercise leads to weakness, and that increases your chances of falling.

　　● Exercises can improve your body balance and flexibility at any age. Try exercises like Yoga and Tai Chi.

　　● If you are over 50 and haven抰 exercised regularly, check with your health care provider about the best type of exercise program for you.

　　Increase Your Home抯 Accessibility and Safety to Reduce Falling Risks

　　About half of all falls happen at home. To increase acceoussibility and make your home safer:

　　● Remove items you might trip over from stairs and places where you walk.

　　● Remove small throw rugs(易滑地垫)or use double-sided tape to keep rugs from slipping.

　　● Have grab bars installed next to your toilet, and install grab bars in your tub or shower.

　　● Improve the lighting in your home.

　　● Make sure all stairways have handrails and sufficient lighting.

　　● Wear shoes that give good support and have thin non-slip soles.

　　You might also consider avoiding lightweight slippers ( especially backless styles), which can reduce your feeling of control.

　　Prevent Falling : Watch Out for Medication Side Effects

　　Age can effect the way some medications work in your body, so if you have been taking any over-the-counter medications for a while, it抯 important to tell your health care provider. He or she will be able to tell you if they are still safe for you to take. t

　　● Look out for drugs that have side effects including drowsiness(困倦). These side effects can increase your risk of falling . this especially important with over-the-conter cold and flu medications, which can often increase drowsiness.

　　● And don’t forget herbal remedies(草药). Some remedies increase sleepiness and many react with other types of medication, which could increase your risk of falling down. Be sure to check with your health care provider before trying new medication.

　　Want to Prevent Falling? Have Your Vision Checked Regularly

　　Vision problems can increase your chances of falling.

　　●You may be wearing the wrong glasses that cause vision problems or limit your vision.

　　●To reduce your risk of falling , have your vision checked by an eye doctor every nyear for early detection and correction of vision problems. If you can’t see something, it’s harder to avoid it, and this increase your risk of falling.

　　第二节 阅读表达（5小题；每题2分，共10分）阅读下面的短文，并根据要求回答问题。

　　If you are worried about things and are under a lot of stress at work or school, then you are probably not sleeping well. Worry can keep you awake, tossing and turning in bed until the early hours of the morning when you eventually fall asleep. When you wake up, you don抰 feel refreshed, but tired and worn out and unable to face a newo day.

　　Dr. Henry Winkle wrote an article in a recent newspaper, which indicates that_____________. Dr. Winkle says, 揟he more we worry, the less we sleep, the more we are unable to deal with stress. If we can find a way to get a good night抯 sleep,?he addsewo, 搘e can often find the energy to deal with what抯 worrying us.?So, what is a good night抯 sleep? Research shows that the amount of sleep which people need in order to keep healthy varies a lot. Seven hours in about the average amount, though strangely edsewnough, sleeping longer often gives you a headache instead of making you feel more refreshed.

　　Dr. Winkle believes that preparing for sleeping is important. People who work late should try to give themselves a short break and do something restful before going to bed. This could be watching TV or listening to music. Doing some exercise earlier in the day should help you to feel physically as well as mentally tired. A bedtime drink can also help, but coffee or tea should be avoided as they contain caffeine and will keep you awake. 揥hen you put the light out,?Dr. Winkle says, 揷oncentrate on relaxing your muscles, working slowly up from your feet, and you抣l be asleep before you know it.?1. What is the best title of the text? (Please answer within 10 words)

　　__ and _____________________________________________________________________________

　　2. Which sentence in the text can be replaced by the following one?

　　People shouldn抰 go to sleep immediately but should take a break after working late in the night.

　　___________d____________________________________________________________________

　　3. Please fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence. (Please answer within 10 words)

　　_______________________________________________________________________________

　　4. Someone says that the longer you sleep, the better you feel. Try to find some arguments from the text against the idea. (Please answer within 30 words)

　　_______________________________________________________________________________

　　5. Translate the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 into Chinese.

　　_______________________________________________________________________________

　　【答案】

　　1. Sleep and Your Life / Stress and Sleep /Sleep is Important

　　2. People who work late should try to give themselves a short break and do something restful before going to bed.

　　3. stress / worry and (lack of ) sleep are directly related

　　4. Seven hours is about the average amount, though strangely enough, sleeping longer often gives you a headache instead of making you feel more refreshed.

　　5. 当你醒来时，你不但没有感到精力充沛（旺盛），反而疲惫不堪，难以面对新的一天。

　　74

　　●

　　75

　　Stress can result from disorganization and a feeling that “there’s so much to do, and not enough time”．Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result, you may not achieve anything．Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, then do one thing at a time, checking off each task as it is completed．Set out to do the most important task first．

　　（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

　　根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余项。

　　If you are hungry, what do you do? Have your favorite-meal and stay quiet after that?_

　　71

　　But it never lets you know, because, you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars．So it silently serves your needs and never lets itself grow．When mind loses its freedom to grow．creativity sets a full stop．This might be the reason why we all sometimes think "What happens next?", "Why can't I think?"

　　72

　　Why reading but not watching TV? It is because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from childhood．Since it develops other aspects of our life, we have to take help from reading．

　　Once you read a book, you run your eyes through the lines and your mind tries to explain something to you．

　　73

　　Now this seed is unknowingly used by you to develop new ideas．If it is used many times, the same seed can give you great help to relate a lot of things, which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams!

　　This is nothing but creativity．

　　74

　　Within no time you can start talking with your friends in English or any other language and never run out of the right words．

　　So guys, do give food for your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading．

　　75

　　Go and get a book!

　　A．Now what are you waiting for?

　　B．Reading can help you make more friends, too．

　　C．Just like your stomach, your mind is also hungry．

　　第四部分：任务型阅读 (满分10分)

　　请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

　　注意：每个空格只填一个单词。

　　I used to be the messiest person alive．Over the years, through watching others and by trial and error, I have finally found ways to come up with plans, organize them and follow through with them．

　　Make an outline of everything you need to have and do to make your plan happen．Make a list of all of the steps that need to be accomplished and think about what needs to be done．

　　Detail everything thoroughly and read over it so you can start coming up with some mental solutions of how to carry out your plans．

　　You should ensure that if for some reason way one doesn’t work, you have way two and way three to lean back on．Therefore, different ways are needed at hand．It’s just a matter of being organized．Chances are that there is always more than one way of doing things, and chances are that if one of those ways doesn’t work, one of the other ones will．

　　Committing yourself to finishing at least part if not all of your plan at once is also necessary．It will show that you not only have initiative to get things rolling, but that you are interested in the results obtained with making the move to get everything done．

　　If you make a commitment to finish before a specific time, make sure that you carry that out, and be sure to do everything in the way you said you would, within the time-frame you set for yourself．

　　Don’t try to tackle （处理）more things all at a time．All that does is delay your progress, distract you and make you lose your interest, motivation and energy．

　　Carrying out an effective plan requires being as organized as possible．You will only achieve this by sticking to the order of the plan and not deviating or trying to do more at a time．

　　Last but not the least, you should never abandon things mid-project．It will only annoy everyone around you including yourself．Unfinished plans are a waste of time, energy and, in some cases, even money．

　　So, don’t be afraid of organization．The older we get, the more necessary it becomes to have the skills to follow through with confidence and to be able to carry through plans in an organized and manageable way．It pays to be organized, after all．

　　阅读表达（15分）

　　阅读下面的短文，并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的字数要求)。

　　In the United States, train transportation is unpopular compared with cars and airplanes. Most people like traveling by car or by air.

　　Officials of the United States Department of Transportation made a study in 2001. The study is about how many miles Americans traveled by different means of transportation. They only studied trips longer than 50 miles. The study showed that fifty-six percent of all miles were traveled in personal vehicle. Forty-one percent were traveled in an airplane. Two percent were traveled in a bus. And less than one percent of miles were traveled in a train.

　　Amtrak is the national provider of train transportation in the United States. In the past ten years, the number of its passengers has increased by eighteen percent. Although the number of passengers has increased, it is still very small now. In countries such as France, Germany, or Japan, more people use trains.

　　There are several reasons why many people __________________________.

　　Firstly, Americans love to drive their own cars. On highways, cars can travel as fast as trains. These highways connect all major cities in America．Secondly, many travelers like to be independent. When they use their own cars they can decide when to travel. Thirdly, many buses travel between major cities. Bus travel is less costly than train travel.

　　In a huge country like the United States, cities are far away from each other. In some cases, travel from one city to another by train may take more than a day. Airplanes can carry passengers over long distances much faster. People who do not want to spend long time traveling by train decide to fly. For these people saving time is the most important thing.

　　Ever felt like destroying the car in front of you when you're struck in an endless traffic jam? Well, the Spanish company StopStress is offering customers the possibility of doing just that but under controlled, safe circumstances. Customers can also destroy computers, mobile phones and TV sets in what the company calls "destruction therapy (治疗).

　　"We target the machines that cause the most stress in modern life," company co-founder Jorge Arribas said in a telephone interview. "People get rid of stress by screaming and beating the machines until they are tired out," he explained.

　　The company, based in the northern Spanish city of Soria, uses abandoned cars that still work. Heavy-metal music is used to excite the customers. They are given protective suits and glasses,

　　helmets and hug hammers. Most people's anger only lasts for S to 10 minutes. But some go on for hours:

　　they beat cars on which they've put the names of people or ideas they would like to get rid of. "Some even get together to turn the car over," Arribas says. A session costs 60 euros (US$80) per person.

　　Arribas says the idea came to him when be was having trouble parking his car. Dozens of people have used the therapy, which helps people become aware of their stress level and helps them to slow down, Arribas explained. "It's better to channel violence in a controlled way than to let it out on one's husband or wife or in a traffic jam," he added. StopStress already has branches in three Spanish cities, and is planning to extend its market beyond Spain's borders.
