It was spring semester of my junior year, the early 70s, at 21 was then Rider College. I was between a B and a C
12、in “Introduction to 22 ”, and the exam would determine my final 23 . Music was 24 my strongest subject. I had never studied an instrument and had had little 25 to classical music. But as a secondary education major, I needed two fine arts electives. I had chosen music as one of them. At two credits,
13、 how 26 could it be?I thought I could hold my own on the test 27 just before it began, when the professor announced that he would 28 a series of musical passages on a tape recorder for 15 minutes. We were to name the 29 we heard in each selection. We were 30 in that classroom like penguins on a chun
14、k of floating sea 31 , so it was an effort to keep my eyes 32 on my own desk. I think the music was a Mozart symphony, 33 by Tchaikovsky and a piece by John Philip Sousa. During one selection, my 34 turned to the paper of the student on my right. I had 35 the instrument to be a violin; my neighbor h
15、ad written viola(中提琴 ). He had to be 36 -almost anyone would know more about music than I did. I changed my 37 .A few days later, looking at the answers to the exam and the final grades posted on the professors office 38 , I understood the meaning of poetic justice. The instrument had been a violin.

It is a great truth because once we truly see this truth, we transcend it. Once we truly know that life is difficult-once we truly u
20、nderstand and accept it-then life is no longer difficult. Because once it is accepted, the fact that life is difficult no longer matters.Most do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties represe
21、nt a special kind of suffering especially forced upon them or else upon their families, their class, or even their nation.What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause us sadness, or loneliness or regret or a
22、nger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes an endless series of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are
23、 the serious test that tells us success from failure. When we desire to encourage the growth of human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Be
24、njamin Franklin said, those things that hurt, instruct. It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems. 41. From the passage, it can be inferred that _.A. everybody has problemsB. we become stronger by meeting and solving the problems of lifeC. life is d
25、ifficult because our problems bring us painD. people like to complain about their problems 42. The writer probably used just one short sentence in the first paragraph to _.A. save space B. persuade readersC. make readers laugh D. get readers attention 43. The main idea of Paragraph 3 is that _.A. mo
26、st people feel life is easy B. the writer feels life is easyC. the writer likes to complain about his problemsD. most people complain about how hard their lives are 44. According to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to_.A. encourage them to learn B. teach them
27、 to fear the pain of solving the problemC. help them learn to deal with pain D. teach them how to respect from problems 45. The saying from Benjamin Franklin “Those things that hurt, instruct” suggests that _.A. we do not learn from experience B. we do not learn when we are in painC. pain teaches us
28、 important lessons D. pain cannot be avoidedBParents, our first teachers, play a highly significant role in our livesHowever, doesnt it seem that many of us come to have conflicts with them when we start high school? Were less likely to listen to them and take their suggestions-we even rebel against
29、 them.Why? It may be the so-called “generation gap”. A generation gap appears when we begin to 4feel our parents are ignoring us, dont understand us, and we feel we can no longer share our feelings with them.The key reason is our desire for independence. In senior high school, we start to want to ta
30、ke responsibility for our own lives and make our own decisions. But parents resist this. They still want to control us and try to force us to do things they think we should do. Debate and discussion often come to nothing. Gradually, we talk with them less, and keep our feelings locked up inside.Zhan
31、g Xiaoyun, 16, of Ningbo, Zhejiang, has talked less and less with her mother since she started senior high school. “She believes studies should be my priority, not my inner world,” Zhang said. “Each day, she asks me the same old questions like, How was your last exam? or Have you made any progress i
32、n physics?” To Zhang, these questions are annoying and so she always tries to ignore them and answers perfunctorily. “Sometimes, when I get upset, I quarrel with her. After, she comes to apologize and comfort me. But I know, she doesnt completely understand me,” Zhang said. Now, a home that was once
33、 full of laughter has fallen into gloom and silence.The generation gap can be harmful. Because of the lack of communication, our parents no longer know what we are thinking about. There are quarrels, even over trivial things. When that happens, we may not be able to concentrate on our studies. Some
34、of us even become afraid to go home after school-a very serious situation for the whole family.46. Which of the following is not included in the passage?A. The causes of generation gap. B. The effects of generation gap.C. One example of generation gap. D. Ways of narrowing generation gap.47. Which o
35、f the following is one reason for the generation gap according to the passage?A. Modern society changing very fast.B. Parents having unrealistic hopes of their children.C. Parents and kids not understanding and respecting each other.D. Young people liking to escape from the control of their parents.
36、48. Which of the following words has the closest meaning to the underlined word “perfunctorily”?A. attentively B. indifferently(冷淡地) C. flatteringly(奉承地) D. seriously49. In the view of the author, _.A. parents should allow their children more freedomB. parents and children should not stay togetherC.
37、 the younger generation should value the older generationD. academic records are more important than ones inner worldCBobby Moresco grew up in New Yorks Hells Kitchen, a tough working-class neighborhood on Manhattans West Side. But Hells Kitchen lies right next door to Broadway, and the bright light
38、s attracted Bobby from the time he was a teen. Being stage-struck was hardly what a street kid could admit to his partners. Fearing their ridicule, he told no one, not even his girlfriend, when he started taking acting lessons at age 17. If you were a kid from the neighborhood, you became a cop, con
39、struction worker, longshoreman or criminal. Not an actor. Moresco struggled to make that long walk a few blocks east. He studied acting, turned out for all the cattle calls, and during the decade of the 1970s made a total of $2,000. “I wasnt a good actor, but I had a driving need to do something dif
40、ferent with my life,” he says. He moved to Hollywood, where he drove a cab and worked as a bartender(酒保). “My father 5said, Stop this craziness and get a job; you have a wife and daughter. But Moresco kept working at his chosen craft. Then in 1983 his younger brother Thomas was murdered in a mob-lin
41、ked killing. Moresco moved back to his old neighborhood and started writing as a way to explore the pain and the patrimony（继承物）of Hells Kitchen. Half-Deserted Streets, based on his brothers killing, opened at a small Off-Broadway theater in 1988. A Hollywood producer saw it and asked him to work on
42、a screenplay. His reputation grew, and he got enough assignments to move back to Hollywood. By 2003, he was again out of work and out of cash when he got a call from Paul Haggis, a director who had befriended him. Haggis wanted help writing a film about the country after September 11. The two worked
43、 on the writing, but every studio in town turned it down. They kept pitching it. Studio executives, however, thought no one wanted to see a severe, honest vision of race and fear and lives in collision(冲突、碰撞 ) in modern America. Moresco believed so strongly in the script that he borrowed money, sold
44、 his house. He and Haggis kept pushing. At last the writers found an independent film producer who would take a chance, but the upfront money was too little, Moresco delayed his salary. Crash slipped into the theaters in May 2005, and quietly became both a hit and a critical success. It was nominate
45、d for six Academy Awards and won three-Best Picture, Best Film Editing and Best Writing (Original Screenplay) by Paul Haggis and the kid from Hells Kitchen. At age 54, Bobby Moresco became an overnight success. “If you have something you want to do in life, dont think about the problems,” he says, “
46、think about other ways to get it done.” 50. Rearrange the following statements in term of time order:a. His work Half-Deserted Streets drew attention as it opened at a small Off-Broadway theater.b. Unexpectedly Crash became both a hit and a huge success.c. He moved to Hollywood to be a taxi driver a
47、nd a waiter.d. He started to learn acting in spite of hardness with the belief of doing something different.e. His younger brother Thomas was killed in conflict among bullies.A. d; c; e; a; b B. d; e; c; b; a C. c; d; e; a; b D. c; e; d; b; a 51. Why Bobby Moresco did not tell anyone that he started
48、 taking lessons at age 17?A. He wanted to give his girlfriend a surprise. B. His girlfriend did not allow him to do this.C. He was afraid of being laughed at. D. He had no talent for acting.52. The Studio executives turned the script Crash down because _.A. they thought the script would not be popular B. the script was not well written.C. they had no money to make the film based on the script.D. they thought Moresco was not famous.53. Whats the best title of the passage?A. The Road to Success B. Try It a Different Way
