"Everything happens for the best, "my mother said whenever I faced disappointment, "If you 36 on, something good will happen some day."
Mother was right, as I discovered after graduating from college. I had 37 myself for a sports announcer. So I went to Chicago to knock on the door of every station and was 38 every time. In one station, a kind lady told me that 39 stations wouldn't employ a person without 40 since I had just graduated. "Go out in the town and find a small station that might give you a chance, "she said.
I returned to Dixon, where I had finished my high school education and had 41 in the school football team. My father said that our town had built a store and wanted a man to manage its sports department. The job sounded just 42 for me but I wasn't hired.
My disappointment had 43 as if by design. "Everything happens for the best," Mum 44 me. Dad lent me his car to look for a job. I tried WOC Radio Davenport. The program director told me they had already hired an announcer. 45 I left his office, I asked aloud," 46 can a fellow get to be a sports announcer if he can't get a job in a radio station?" Suddenly, I heard the director 47 . "Do you know anything about football? " Then he asked me to 48 an imaginary game. It was easy, and I did it without difficulty. The director was 49 and told me I would be broadcasting a game on the 50 Saturday.

解析试题分析：本文通过“我”求职经过体现妈妈的话：Everything happens for the best. 大学刚毕业的“我”满以为会在 Chicago 能找到一份体育播音员的工作，但处处碰壁，最后经过一位好心人的指点回到上中学时的小镇，不过工作还是不好找。正当“我”因处处碰壁而大声发泄，“就连一份电台工作都找不到又怎么会当体育播音员呢？”正因为这次发泄结果被一电台主任听到并因“我”擅长体育而雇佣“我”做解说员。
【小题1】从前面的每当“我”面对失望时总是想到妈妈说的那句话及后面所举的“我”大学毕业后找工作的例子来看，只要继续(坚持)，总有一天会有好结果。carry on 意为“继续”。选D
【小题2】从下文来看，“我”想找一份体育播音员的工作。design 在此意为“意欲，打算”。design sb for… 指的是“打算当 / 做……”。选B
【小题3】从后文来看，在这个城市里是找不到工作的(有那位妇女的话佐证)，即“我”到每家电台求职，结果是每次都被“拒绝”了。选C。
【小题4】从后面的 since I just graduated 可知，“我”大学刚毕业，没有经验，而那位 lady 说的话正是“在 Chicago 大电视台是不会雇佣没有经验的人的”。选A。
【小题5】那位 lady 的话的意思是“一些小城镇的电台也许会雇佣像你这样的没有经验的人”，选A。
【小题6】 “我”接受了她的建议，回到了读中学的 Dixon 镇。从后面的 in the school football team 及“我”的爱好可推测，“我”上中学时曾在校足球队踢球，故用 play。选A。
【小题7】前面说“我”想找体育播音员的工作，“我”又有高中体育队的经验，因此听起来这个工作很适合“我”。right 在此意为“合适”，be right for sb 为“适合某人”。选C。
【小题8】“我”找工作接连受挫，“我”的失望似乎是故意地展现出来。用show，选. 选A。
【小题9】从一开始就提到妈妈的这句话，现在当妈妈看到“我”脸上的表情及了解到找工作接连受挫时，妈妈又拿出了这句话来提醒“我”，让“我”坚持下去。选D。
【小题10】从前面 I tried WOC Radio Davenport 及下文的 I left his office, 可知是在我离开办公室后。选B。
【小题11】从那位主任办公室走出来后，“我”因找不到工作非常苦闷，于是大声喊叫以发泄。从结构来看，此空应用 how，句意为：如果在电台的工作都找不到，那他怎会做体育播音员呢？选B。
【小题12】从前面来看，好像这次求职又失败，于是“我”大声喊叫发泄一通，用calling，选A。
【小题13】该题可从后面的 …told me I would be broadcasting a game on the… 得到启发。选C。
【小题14】从语境来看，主任直接让“我”播在周六的比赛，可见他对“我”很满意。选D。
【小题15】从 …told me I would be broadcasting a game… 等来看，这场比赛将在下个周六举行，故用 the coming Saturday. 选B。

It was at two o’clock in the morning. We just came out of a club and were trying to find our 36 back to our city. As we were trying to 37 the bus stop, a man came to us and said he would show us 38 it was. Although we were a little 39 , we had no choice but follow him. He told us he was a homeless man and that his name was Lawrence.
When we passed some city workers 40 the streets, they sprayed (喷溅) the homeless man. Lawrence told us that they always sprayed the 41 if they were "in the way". I didn’t know why they would do that. They were human beings, 42 , not cattle or objects.
This man had just gotten 43 in the middle of a cold night, but 44 shouting at the workers, he asked them, "How would you 45 if your father or grandfather were treated like this?" He then told us, "It’s 46 use shouting at them, because they just get angry. You’re better off saying something from the 47 ."
It is 48 ! The world could be so different if only we put our anger 49 , lowered our voices and tried to speak from our hearts.
He took us safely to the stop and on the way talked about everything. We 50 him and told him that we 51 have never found the place on our own. He said, "I have a son of your age, and I hope that if he were 52 , someone would help him."
Not only did Lawrence clear out all the fear and distrust in our hearts, he helped us find our way, in more than one ways. 53 , this man taught us kindness. There was 54 we could really do to repay him. The only thing I hope to do is to 55 other people out.

Childish Voice
When I was a young child, my parents often told me that it was time to teach a man everything. I didn’t understand and wondered why 36 had such a big influence 37 a person. I thought I could grow up quickly to find it out as an adult．But now, 38 I come to knock at the door of adulthood, I feel 39 to express my own 40 on this saying. I know that I’m just a high school student with very 41 experiences. There are still many things 42 me in the future, yet I would like to express myself in a childish voice.
I once read this sentence: “To make this world a happy place to live, you’d better 43 yourself and your heart , instead of the whole world.” I was shocked. It made me think about life 44 . There are so many things around us that 45 our will. We can’t force life 46 our wishes. The earth won’t stop turning no matter whether we 47 it or not. What we can do is just to make ourselves 48 the world. I think we should learn to accept 49 life gives us, no matter whether it’s the spring sunlight or the winter snowfall, and try to be happy.
Deeply moved by the pop song Grandmother (by Jay Chou), I always try to 50 every pleasant thing in my life, but now I see I don’t catch most of the pleasant moments. It is more 51 that they slip by and leave you feeling 52 . I realize that I’m not just living 53 myself and that there are the others around me I should think of .They all pay attention to my growing up, even if it’s just a little progress.
Everyone has his or her own attitude towards life, be it positive or 54 .It doesn’t matter, I think. There is one 55 that should be obeyed—and that’s to make this world better.

Stricter Traffic Law Can Prevent Accidents
From the health point of view we are living in a marvelous（不平凡的）age. We are immunized from birth against many of the most dangerous diseases. A large number of once fatal illnesses can now be cured by modern drugs and surgery. It is almost certain that one day remedies will be found for the most stubborn remaining diseases. The expectation of life has increased enormously. But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we witness the incredible slaughter of men, women and children on the roads. Man versus the motor-car ! It is a never-ending battle which man is losing. Thousands of people the world over are killed or horribly killed each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen.
It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel, his car becomes the extension of his personality. There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a man’s very worst qualities. People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steering-wheel. They swear, they are ill-mannered and aggressive, willful as two-years-olds and utterly selfish. All their hidden frustrations, disappointments and jealousies seem to be brought to the surface by the act of driving.
The surprising thing is that society smiles so benignly on the motorist and seems to condone his behaviour. Everything is done for his convenience. Cities are allowed to become almost uninhabitable because of heavy tragic; towns are made ugly by huge car parks; the countryside is desecrated by road networks; and the mass annual slaughter becomes nothing more than a statistic, to be conveniently forgotten.
It is high time a world code were created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. With regard to driving, the laws of some countries are notoriously lax and even the strictest are not strict enough. A code which was universally accepted could only have a dramatically beneficial effect on the accident rate. Here are a few examples of some the things that might be done. The driving test should be standardized and made far more difficult than it is; all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years or so; the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21; all vehicles should be put through stringent annual tests for safety. Even the smallest amount of alcohol in the blood can impair a person’s driving ability. Present drinking and driving laws (where they exist) should be mad much stricter. Maximum and minimum speed limits should be imposed on all roads. Governments should lay down safety specifications for manufacturers, as has been done in the USA. All advertising stressing power and performance should be banned. These measures may sound inordinately harsh. But surely nothing should be considered as to severe if tit results in reducing the annual toll of human life. After all, the world is for human beings, not motor-cars.
The main idea of this passage is
A Traffic accidents are mainly caused by motorists.
B Thousands of people the world over are killed each year.
C The laws of some countries about driving are too lax.
D Only stricter traffic laws can prevent accidents.
What does the author think of society toward motorists?
A Society smiles on the motorists. B Huge car parks are built in the cities and towns.
C Victims of accidents are nothing. D Society condones their rude driving.
Why does the author say:’ his car becomes the extension of his personality?’
A Driving can show his real self. B Driving can show the other part of his personality.
C Driving can bring out his character. D His car embodies his temper.
Which of the followings is NOT mentioned as a way against traffic accidents?
A Build more highways. B Stricter driving tests.
C Test drivers every three years. D raise age limit and lay down safety specifications.
The attitude of the author is
A ironical B critical C appealing D militant
