    On the first day of my new high school, I almost had a nervous breakdown. Everything about the school seemed so difficult. When I got home, my parents said, “You're nervous and that's okay. Everyone is afraid of high school. ”I denied it. I wanted to be strong, so I refused to let anyone know about my fear, even my closest friends.
    On the first day I was late for every class and was constantly lost. The school seemed like a puzzle that I couldn't figure out. Was this how the whole year was going to be？ I didn't think I could rise to this challenge, especially carrying a huge backpack that I could hardly lift. It was so big that I could knock someone out with it！The schoolmates seemed to regard me as a fool, and they were probably right.
    Despite my fears, after the first week I finally had my schedule figured out.
    With the exception of falling up and down the stairs a couple of times and getting laughed at, high school was turning out to be not so bad.  It was actually much better than middle school and much more challenging.
    Since then, I've been elected vice president of my class, which wasn't much of a victory since only three people ran for the four positions.
    It is normal to be scared about a new school. Take a deep breath and relax. High school is something that any student can overcome. Make sure you participate in some out-of-class activities because you’ll find it easier to make friends. Try to do your best, even if it isn't straight A’s.
    Most important of all, be who you are , whether you're a “fool”, an athlete, or a lower grader. Don't try to pretend to be someone you're not. Now you know the true secrets of high school.
    60. The main reason for the authors fear on his first day is that          .
    A. he was unable to work out the puzzle
    B. his schoolmates were unfriendly to him
    C. he was not familiar with the new surroundings
    D. his schoolbag was too heavy for him to carry
    61. From the author's first day experience we can infer that          .
    A. his home was far from the school
    B. he got to school after classes began  
    C. he didn’t get any school schedule
    D. he didn't know the right way to class
    62. After his first week at school, the author          .
    A. was still not accustomed to the schedule
    B. gradually adjusted himself to the new school
    C. found high school not so challenging as he had imagined
    D. ran for president of his class against three other students
    63. According to the passage, the secret of the author’s success lies mainly in          .
    A. making more friends                                        B. getting more A’s at school
    C. being who he really is                             D. joining in out-of-class activities
    60．C  61．D  62．B  63．C

    We can see how the product life cycle works by looking at the introduction of instant coffee. When it was introduced, most people did not like it as much as "regular" coffee and it took several years to gain general acceptance (introduction stage). At one point, though, instant coffee grew rapidly in popularity and many brands were introduced (stage of rapid growth). After a while people became attached to one brand and sales leveled off (stage of maturity). Sales went into a slight decline when freeze-dried coffees were introduced (stage of decline).
    　　The importance of the product life cycle to marketers is this: different stages in the product life cycle call for different strategies. The goal is to extend product life so that sales and profits do not decline. One strategy is called market modification. It means that marketing managers look for new users and market sections. Do you know, for example, that the backpacks that so many students carry today were originally designed for the military?
    　　Market modification also means searching for increased usage among present customers or going for a different market, such as senior citizens. A marketer may re-position the product to appeal to new market sections.
    　　Another product extension strategy is called product modification. It involves changing product quality, features, or style to attract new users or more usage from present users. American auto manufacturers are using quality improvement as one way to recapture（夺回） world markets. Note, also, how auto manufacturers once changed styles dramatically from year to year to keep demand from falling.
    46. According to the passage, when people grow accustomed to one particular brand of a product, its            sales will ______.                       
    A. decrease gradually                                 B. become unstable
    C. improve enormously                            D. remain at the same level
    47. The first paragraph tells us that a new product is _____ .
    　A. usually introduced to satisfy different tastes
    　B. often more expensive than old ones
    　C. often inferior to old ones at first
    　D. not easily accepted by the public
    48. Marketers need to know which of the four stages a product is in so as to _____ .
    　A. work out marketing policies                   B. promote its production
    　 C. increase its popularity                                      D. speed up its life cycle
    49. The author mentions the example of "backpacks"(Line 4, Para.2 ) to show the importance of             _______ .
    　 A. increasing usage among students       B. pleasing the young as well as the old
    　 C. exploring new market sections             D. serving both military and civil needs
    50. In order to recover their share of the world market, U.S. auto makers are _______ .
    　 A. improving product feature                     B. making their products better
    C. modernizing product style                    D. increasing product quantity

    1685 was a very good year for German composers. Within the space of a month, two of the greatest were born: Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frideric Handel.
    Handel’s father was a barber and surgeon, which sounds like a strange combination today, but back then those occupations went hand in hand. Even though Handel was very interested in music, his father didn’t think that was a good way to earn a living, so he wanted his son to be a lawyer. The story goes that Handel smuggled a quiet piano into the house so that he could practice in secret.
    One day, Handel went along when his father went to shave a duke. While his father was working, Handel sat down and played the duke’s organ. The duke was so impressed that he convinced Handel’s father to let his son study music, and Handel finally got to learn how to compose.
    Handel soon discovered that what he liked most was opera. In fact, he was so passionate about opera that he even fought a duel (决斗) over it with one of his friends. Since Italy was the place to learn about opera composing, Handel went off to Italy to study. When he got home, he got a job as court composer for a German prince.
    Having landed such a wonderful job, Handel immediately asked his boss for time off. He wanted to go to England, where he’d heard that there weren’t nearly enough composers to satisfy the British taste for Italian opera.
    After great success writing opera in London, Handel came back to Germany. Then fate played a funny trick on Handel and his boss. The Queen of England died, and it just so happened that the prince Handel worked for was next in line to the British throne ( 王位 ). When he arrived in London as King George, followed Handel, his court composer in Germany.
    In addition to serving the King, Handel became one of the most successful opera composers of his time. And he also produced them and traveled all over Europe to hire the best singers. There are stories of battles with rival ( 对手 )opera producers and of fights between rival singers. Handel apparently had quite a temper.
    If you ever go to London, look for Handel’s grave in Westminster Abbey, where there’s a wonderful monument to him.
    66. How did Handel begin to learn to compose?
    A. His father was sure of his future success.
    B. His performance impressed a duke.
    C. He begged his father to send him to Italy.
    D. He practiced hard and taught himself music.
    67. What does the underlined word “smuggled” mean in the passage?
    A. bought secretly               B. took secretly  
    C. carried in advance          D. possessed personally
    68. Why did Handel later settle down in Britain instead of Germany?
    A. Because he could find better jobs in London.
    B. Because he enjoyed greater fame in London.
    C. Because his boss became King of Britain and brought him along.
    D. Because London was a wonderful place to learn about opera.
    69. Which of the following words can NOT be used to describe Handel, as 
    shown in the passage?
    A. bad-tempered   B. talented     C. enthusiastic  D. optimistic
    70. Which of the following statements is WRONG according to the passage?
    A. Handel was born in the same year with Bach.
    B. Many people worked both as a barber and surgeon.
    C. Handel quit his job to learn about opera in Italy.
    D. Handel was buried in London and was built a monument.

    B
    For a song to become popular, people need to bear it.  In order for people　to hear it, the program directors at radio stations have to play it on the air. A song’s popularity is directly related to how often it is played. That is a big responsibility for program directors. How do they decide what gets played and what doesn’t?
    In the past, disc jockeys(音乐节目主持人) decided what music was played on the radio. These DJs had an ear for music and an understanding of what their audience wanted to hear. Today, that is all changing. Most major radio stations are owned by a few large national businesses. The decision of what gets played on the radio is made by executives(主管) who have little or no interest in music. They do, however, know how to run a business, and they know what sells. So, the music industry designs and creates pop entertainers, and executives in the radio industry make sure that their music is played on the radio. This explains why you do not often hear anything new and fresh on the radio. The executives do not want to give air time to music that has not been tested on the market. It is too risky. They prefer to go with music that they already know will sell. They know it will sell because it sold last week and last month and last year. They just have to change it a little.
    One of the most criticized(批评) practices in the music industry is the practice of “payola”. This is when record companies pay radio stations to play the music of a given artist. This practice makes many people lose trust in the music industry and is therefore against the law. A radio station can accept money in exchange for air time of a song, but they have to make it clear that the song is being played because its air time was paid for. They cannot present the song as if it were part of the normal play schedule(时刻表).
    Payola affects both artists and audiences. The artists who work with small record companies that cannot pay a lot of money to radio stations have a much harder time getting exposure. It creates an unfair playing field. Music lovers suffer because they are not able to hear all the music that is available.
    60. According to the passage, most major radio stations belong to       .
    A. national businesses                      B. program directors   
    C. pop entertainers                         D. record companies
    61. “Payola” is the practice of        .
    A. artists paying radio stations to play their songs
    B. record companies buying air time for certain music
    C. radio station paying record company for new songs
    D. program directors deciding what music gets played
    62. Who can make the largest profits from payola?
    A. Disc Jockeys.                               B. The given artists.
    C.  Business executives.                        D. Program directors.
    63. It can be concluded from the passage that the author        .
    A. has a positive attitude towards the practice of “payola”
    B. is dissatisfied with the present situation in music industry
    C. is calling for a change in the normal play schedule

    My topic is fashion(时装). Fashion is important to all of us. Now we are all wearing school uniforms(校服). When we go home, what do we do? We change into other clothes. If we are going out, we like to wear fashionable clothes. So my first object is this blouse. It looks beautiful, doesn’t it? It is the most expensive piece of clothing, and I love it. It cost over ＄600. You may say that it is too expensive, but luckily I can afford it. The more you spend, the better the quality is. So you see, fashion is quite important to me, I admire it.
    However, I’m not as fond of fashion as my elder brother. Last summer, my parents took us both to London. They wanted to show us some famous sights. But my brother Gary did not appreciate the old buildings. He just wanted to spend all his time in the big shopping arcades(拱廊), searching for the coolest pair of trousers! For him, fashion was more important than culture. These are the trousers he bought. Were they worth the expensive of a trip to London to buy these? I don’t think so. I think it was a waste of time and money.
    We must, however, remember that fashion is a very big business. Changes in fashion can create or lose jobs. As an example, I have bought this blonde(淡黄色的) wig(假发) to show you. Do you like it? It belongs to one of my mother’s friends. She told me that in the 1960s, it was fashionable for western women to wear wigs. But a few years later fashions changed and women wore wigs much less often. Then the wig factories closed down and hundreds of workers lost their jobs.
