A
I moved to the United States as a teenager.The adjustment to a new place was
difficult.But there was major stress in my life at that time:I was the only member of my
family who spoke English,meaning I had to step up when we dealt with a shop assistant,
a waiter and so on.However,there was another universal language I loved to learn as a
child:art.
Although I connected myself with drawing and painting while in school,I mostly
dismissed art as a path to a career.Since my dad always said "Think about the future",I
did not think he would support the study of art once I went to college.But,to my surprise,
一2
it was my parents who suggested just that and urged me to apply to technical and liberal
arts schools.
I was admitted into industrial design.It's basically to design products and services.I
could be doing something more technical or something more related to problem-solving.It
was no easy task to do the course including metalworking,woodworking and model
making.In one class I just drew cubes for an entire month,which led me to a question:
“Wow!Do I really want to do this?”But I finally survived the course.
Now I am a design strategist for Marshall Moya Design,a famous architecture and
interior design company.I have experience in exhibit design,product design and website
design,apart from which I enjoy developing public art in my free time.
Throughout my career,I've picked up different things along the way.The best way to
learn in my opinion is through working,therefore,get as many projects as you can.
Industrial design kind of makes you an all-round person.
31.What was the author's biggest problem when first moving to America?
A.The adaption to a new environment.
B.Difficulty in learning a new language.
C.Father's disapproval of her studying art.
D.The burden of being a communicator.
32.What made the author choose to study art?
A.Her deep love for art.
B.The suggestion of her family.
C.Her potential in design.
D.The need of a good job.
33.Why was the author's experience of drawing cubes mentioned?
A.To emphasize her effort at study.
B.To express the regret at her choice.
C.To prove the course was difficult.
D.To show the basic content of the course.
34.How did the author feel when she mentioned her career?
A.Surprised.
B.Stressed.
C.Eager.
D.Proud.
B
Eight years before his death in 1896,Alfred Nobel was surprised to read an obituary
(in the local newspaper.This was a strange obituary,for it told Alfred Nobel,the
man who was reading it,that he was dead.The newspaper had confused Alfred with his
brother,Ludvig,who had recently died.
Nobel was shocked to read that he had passed away,and he was even more annoyed by
the title of his obituary:The merchant of death is dead.Alfred was a very rich and
successful armaments manufacturer(武器制造商).
This incident got him thinking about his reputation.What would people think of him
after his real death?Would they really say"That was a man who profited from killing"?It
3
was this thought that led him to leave his money-a huge amount of it-for the founding of
the famous Nobel Prize.His aim was for his money to be used to support the ongoing quest
(for excellence in the sciences and literature,and the ideal of peace.Thousands of
men and women have been honored since the first awards were given out in 1901.The
awards let the world know about the developments that may have a huge effect on our
lives.
However,the Prizes are controversial sometimes.There is often protest (at the
award of the Peace Prize when not everyone thinks that the award-winners deserve the
award.Even the award for literature has sometimes been criticized because the award
committee often neglects important writers.The highly influential novelists James Joyce
and Marcel Proust,for example,were never honored by the Swedish Academy.
Still,for the most part the awards don't cause many complaints.Alfred Nobel founded
the Prizes to recognize those who have had "the greatest benefit to mankind"and few
would disagree that most of the Prizewinners-among them,Albert Einstein and Martin
Luther King Jr.-have made contributions that deserve to be honored and remembered.
35.How did Alfred Nobel feel when he read the obituary in the newspaper?
A.Sad and worried.
B.Shocked and upset.
C.Surprised and confused.
D.Amused and puzzled.
36.What did Alfred Nobel decide to do after reading the obituary?
A.Seek excellence in the sciences.
B.Donate all his money to the charity.
C.Stop producing any killing weapons.
D.Set up the Nobel Prize with his money.
37.Why does the author mention James Joyce and Marcel Proust?
A.To show the controversy of some Nobel Prizes.
B.To give examples of influential Nobel Prizewinners.
C.To explain the standard of giving out the Nobel Prize.
D.To prove the influence of the Nobel Prize on literature.
38.What does the author think of the Nobel Prize?
A.There should be more female winners.
B.There are too many controversial winners.
C.They have honored many worthy winners.
D.The committee should be more selective.

The eight-year-old Carol lived with her father David,mother May and elder brother
Rob.The little family happily lived in a beautiful village surrounded with beautiful nature.
The village was at the foot of a mountain,with beautiful views of the snowy mountain.The
family survived on growing seasonal plants and trees.Their life is totally surrounded by
nature and beauty.
While they lived a very happy life,Carol did not love the beautiful atmosphere of the
village.She really wanted to move into the city and enjoy the city life.She wanted to shop,
move around the city,watch movies,and eat in fantastic restaurants and cafes,etc.
However,there was hardly any chance that Carol's family moved to the city as they
had everything in the village.
One day,Carol fell asleep during the early noon and she had a sound sleep,of course,
she had a strange dream.She saw her grandmother in her dream as a fairy and her deceased
grandmother granted her a wish.Carol requested her that she should love to enjoy the city
life as she always desired.
Grandmother understood the desire of Carol,but still wanted to convince her that the
peaceful village life is better than the city life.
一7
She told Carol,"Baby,you cannot have access to fresh fruits and vegetables from
plants as you have at your home.You cannot breathe fresh air.You cannot play with
animals.You can hardly find any trees.You will not find peace as you see here!Do you still
want to go to the city?”
Without hearing the concerns,Carol asked her grandmother to grant the wish.
Grandmother granted her wish,but with a condition.Carol was told that she would only
have 6 hours to spend in the city.Later,she would return to the village.Carol agreed.
Paragraph 1:
Carol then found herself in the city with her friends.
Paragraph 2:
Carol's brother Rob was calling her for lunch and Carol woke up.
