In the United States, a person can take credit only for what he has accomplished by hims

elf. Americans get no credit whatsoever for having been born into a rich or privileged family. (In the United States, that would be considered “an accident of birth.”) Americans pride themselves in having been born poor and, through their own hard work, having climbed the difficult ladder of success to whatever level they have achieved--all by themselves. The American social system has, of course, made it possible for Americans to move, relatively easily, up the social ladder, whereas this is impossible to do in many other countries. The “self-made man or woman” is still very much the ideal in present-day America. Americans believe that competition brings out the best in any individual. They claim that it challenges or forces each person to produce the very best that is humanly possible. Consequently, the foreign visitor will see if you come from competition being fostered in the American home and in the American classroom, even at the youngest level. You may find the value placed on the competition disagreeable, especially if you come from a society that promote cooperation rather than competition among individuals. But Americans teaching in Third World countries find the lack of competitiveness in a classroom situation equally distressing. They soon learn that what they had thought to be one of the universal human characteristics represented only a peculiarly American (or Western) value.

Americans, valuing competition, have devised an economic system to go with-free enterprise. Americans feel very strongly that a highly competitive economy will bring out the best in its people and ultimately, that the society which fosters competition will progress most rapidly. If you look for it, you will see evidence in all areas--in all fields as diverse as medicine, the arts, education, and sports--that free enterprise is the approach most often preferred in America.

16. What does the author mean by saying “The ‘self-made man or woman’ is still very much the ideal in present-day America”？

A. Americans no longer respect those who are born rich as they used to.

B. Americans still respect those who have climbed up the social ladder through hard work.

C. Americans think that an ideal man or woman should be born poor.

D. Americans think that only the self-made man or woman is worthy of respect.

17. What does the author think of the American social system？

A. It is a system that does not favor those who are born rich.

B. It is a system that makes social climbing very difficult, if not impossible.

C. It makes it comparatively easy for the poor to move up the social ladder.

D. It is the best system possible in the world

18. Americans teaching in Third World countries found that ___.

A. competition is a unique American (or Western ) value

B. competition must be fostered in the classroom for success in business

C. cooperation is more important than competition in bringing about progress

D. competition is one of the universal human characteristics

19. We can infer from the passage that free enterprise is ____.

A. an economic system allowing free competition among businesses

B. a belief that competition brings out the best in any individual

C. an attitude that values competition rather than cooperation

D. a theory that advocates competition as the source of all progress

20. Americans would most likely frown at you if you ____.

A. complain that you were born poor and had had no opportunities

B. tell then you were born poor and had to work with your hands

C. go around telling people that your father is a self-made man

D. tell them that their social system is not necessarily the best

听力原文： Cats have been popular pets for thousands of years. The ancient Egyptians are thought to have been the first to keep cats in their homes. Today, people like cats for many reasons. Cats are easy to care for. They are soft and beautiful and they can catch mice!

A cat is a natural hunter. It has a good sense of hearing. Its sense of smell is well developed, too. Its eyes can detect the smallest movements. With its powerful legs it can run after its prey and jump to catch it.

A pet cat that is fed every day does net need to hunt for food. But it may go after a mouse anyway. This is because hunting is an instinct in cats. They are born with this ability.

Cats have other instincts as well. They purr when they are happy. They arch their backs and puff up their fur when they are afraid. Cats also scratch objects with their front claws. Some people think cats scratch to sharpen their claws. Others think this action helps exercise their legs and feet. Both reasons may be true.

There are many breeds of cats. Some have long hair, others have short hair. Their coats can have different colors and patterns. Cats have different personalities, too. Some use their voices a lot. Others are silent. Some are shy, while others are friendly. Many people enjoy having these animals as companions.

(30)

A．Cats are easy to care for.

B．Cats are soft and beautiful.

C．Cats can catch mice.

D．All of the above.

听力原文：The Europeans who left their homeland in the 18th and 19th centuries and settled

听力原文： The Europeans who left their homeland in the 18th and 19th centuries and settled their homes in North America are referred to as early settlers. Early settlers who came from the eastern parts of the present U.S.A. were used to having many trees around, so they found it rather hard to get used to living in a treeless plain like the state of Nebraska. When they first settled down in Nebraska, they needed large quantities of wood for building houses, making fires and doing many other things. Therefore they started many tree-planting plans that went on for years and years. Finally in 1872, a newspaperman named J. Sterling Morton had an idea: Why not have a special day set aside for planting trees. So Arbor Day was born on April 10th, 1872. The state government announced that it would give prizes to individuals and groups that planted the most trees. On that first day, more than 1,000,000 trees were planted in Nebraska. In this way Nebraska has been full of trees and it's green all the year around.

(33)

A．Who the early settlers were.

B．When the first Arbor Day began.

C．How the first Arbor Day came into being.

D．Who was J. Sterling Morton.

Thierry Daniel Henry （born on 17 August 1977) is a French football striker currently playi

Thierry Daniel Henry (born on 17 August 1977) is a French football striker currently playing for Spanish La Liga club FC Barcelona and the French national team.

Henry was born and brought up in the tough neighborhood of Les Ulis, Essonne—a suburb of Paris—where he played for an array of local sides as a youngster and showed great promise as a goal-scorer. He was spotted by AS Monaco in 1990 and signed instantly, making his professional debut in 1994. Good form. led to an international call-up in 1998, after which he signed for the Italian defending champions Juventus. He had a disappointing season playing on the wing, before joining Arsenal (兵工厂) for 10.5 million in 1999.

It was at Arsenal that Henry made his name as a world-class footballer. Despite initially struggling in the Premiership, he emerged as Arsenal's top goal-scorer for almost every season of his tenure there. Under long-time mentor and coach Arsène Wenger, Henry became a prolific striker and Arsenal's all-time leading scorer with 226 goals in all competitions. The Frenchman won two league titles and three FA Cups with the gunners shoulder to shoulder; he was twice nominated for the FIFA World Player of the Year, was named the PFA Players' Player of the Year twice, and the Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year three times. Henry spent his final two seasons with Arsenal as club captain, leading them to the UEFA Champions League final in 2006. In June 2007, after eight years with Arsenal, he transferred to FC Barcelona for a fee of 24 million.

Henry has enjoyed similar success with the French national squad, having won the 1998 FIFA World Cup and Euro 2000 (the Delaunay Cup). In October 2007, he surpassed Michel Platini's record to become France's top goal-scorer of all time. Off the pitch, as a result of his own experience, Henry is an active spokesperson against racism in football. His footballing style. and personality have ensured that he is one of the most commercially marketable footballers in the world; he has been featured in advertisements for Nike, Reebok, Renault, Pepsi and Gillette.

When did Thierry Henry first appear in a professional football game？

A．1990.

B．1994.

C．1998.

D．1999
