What most of us dont know is that he was a well-known humorist and storyteller in his day. Lincoln learned to tell jokes and stories from his father. When Lincoln became a lawyer, he
10、used his jokes and stories to gain the good will of the jury(陪审团），and more than once his opposing lawyer would complain to the judge that Lincolns stories were irrelevant and distracting (分心）to the jury. The trouble for them was that Judge David Davis loved Lincolns jokes more than anyone else in th
11、e court room. As a politician , Lincoln made excellent use of his humorous stories. His long time political opponent Stephen A. Douglas complained that “ Nothing else-not any of his arguments or any of his replies to my questions -disturbs me. But when he begins to tell a story , I feel that I am to
12、 be overmatched.” More than once Douglas and other political opponents of Lincolns saw their well presented arguments forgotten by the audience after Lincoln followed up their speeches with a homely story. As the responsibilities of the office of President became greater and heavier, Lincoln used hu
13、mor to find relief. He wanted to reduce the stresses in himself and those around him. One of Lincolns neighbors told that one day, he saw Lincoln walking past with two young shouting boys. “Whats the matter, Mr. Lincoln ?” the neighbor asked . “The same thing thats the matter with the whole world ,”
14、 Lincoln answered . “ I have three walnuts , and each of them wants two of them .” One cannot truly appreciate Lincoln without understanding his humorous side. He used his jokes and stories both for the purpose of winning over his audience and relieving the pressure he experienced as President durin
15、g the terrible Civil War. 21. When Lincoln was a lawyer, what was his purpose of telling jokes and stories?A. He wanted to satisfy the judges desire for jokesB. He wanted to relieve his pressure C. He wanted to impress the jury. D. He wanted to distract his opposing lawyer. 22. What might be Douglas
16、 attitude towards Lincolns humorous stories?A. Annoyed B. Appreciative C. Concerned D. Surprised23. Whats the purpose of this text ?A. To educate B. To entertain C. To persuade D. To informBRemoving the sleeve (封套), you will find a book that is entirely white, except for the names of its author and
17、subject in elegant black type on the cover. It is the perfect design for the biography of a man who insisted that even the insides of his products be perfectly constructed, and that his factory walls flash in the whitest white.The cover was the only part of the book Steve Jobs wanted to control, wri
18、tes Isaacson in his introduction. Though Mr. Jobs pushed the biographer of Albert Einstein and Benjamin Franklin to write in his own way, generously allowing the writer more than 40 interviews, this book offers quite a different view of Mr. Jobs, who won much praise from his fans after his death on
19、October 5th at the age of 56.As a biographer of Albert Einstein and Benjamin Franklin, Mr. Isaacson knows how to celebrate longdead genius, but he claimed that Steve Jobs would not be entirely praiseful words. The picture he paints, particularly in the first half of this book, is not nice. Mr. Jobs
20、emerges as a controlling and often coldblooded character. A child of the 1960s counterculture (反主流文化)，he hated materialism and lived in simply furnished houses (in part because he was too particular about furniture),But when Apple went public in 1980, he refused to give any share to Daniel Kottke, a
21、 longtime supporter and soul mate from college. “He has to abandon the people he is close to”, observes Andy Hertzfeld, an early Apple engineer.Mr. Jobs was undoubtedly possessing an extraordinary ability to attract others and inspire a kind of faith that could not be questioned. But also he could b
22、e cold and cruel. If he disapproved of an employees work， he often shamed him. “This is who I am,” he once said after being challenged, “and you cant expect me to be someone Im not.” This disgusting personality wasnt always helpful, but it served a purpose, writes Mr. Isaacson, many would “end their
23、 chain of horror stories by saying that he got them to do things they never dreamed possible”.Mr. Isaacson treats Steve Jobs as the biography of record, which means that it is a strange book to read so soon after its subjects death.24.The biography for Jobs is believed to have the perfect design bec
24、ause_.A. it follows Jobs style B. its cover is entirely whiteC. black and white are his favorite D. it is designed by a famous biographer25. The picture of Jobs that Isaacson paints in his book is_.cruel humorous particular generousA. B. C. D. 26. It can be safely concluded that_.A. Jobs is highly s
25、poken of in the bookB. Isaacson doesnt think Jobs a good manC. Jobs didnt care about the design of the book D. all descriptions of Jobs are not nice in the book27.This passage can be classified as_.A. a personal diary B. a book review C. a news report D. a TV interviewCMore and more parents are will
26、ing to send their children abroad to study. If everything goes well, by helping them to enter into world-famous universities , parents are helping their children not only to have the best of education as they expect but also to understand and appreciate foreign cultures . Before sending your childre
27、n abroad , there are many factors worth considering. Studying abroad is not as expensive as you think.

If you have already decided to send your children abroad , then they need the help to find the most suitable schools
30、 and courses . The children are still in growing stages . What is important is that the school should be able to provide not only the proper studying courses but it should also take into account the environment and help students to develop their confidence. Most of all, remember that the parents aim
31、 is not to find the best school but help their children find the most suitable school. Your needs are not always what your children need. 28.

35、onversation may also show stubbornness, uneasiness, or, worry. Silence may be viewed by some cultural groups as extremely uncomfortable; therefore attempts may be made to fill every gap(间隙) with conversation. Persons in other cultural groups value silence and view it as necessary for understanding a
36、 persons needs.Many Native Americans value silence and feel it is a basic part of communicating among people, just as some traditional Chinese and Thai persons do. Therefore, when a person from one of these cultures is speaking and suddenly stops, what may be implied(暗示) is that the person wants the
37、 listener to consider what has been said before continuing. In these cultures, silence is a call for reflection.Other cultures may use silence in other ways, particularly when dealing with conflicts among people or in relationships of people with different amounts of power. For example, Russian, Fre
38、nch, and Spanish persons may use silence to show agreement between parties about the topic under discussion. However, Mexicans may use silence when instructions are given by a person in authority rather than be rude to that person by arguing with him or her. In still another use, persons in Asian cu
39、ltures may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority, persons in Asian culture may view silence as a sign of respect, particularly to an elder or a person in authority.Nurses and other care-givers need to be aware of the possible meanings of silence when th

44、 and government agencies use secret code in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer.People have used secret codes for thousands of years. 36 Code breaking never lags (落后) behind code making. The science of decoding and reading coded messages is called cryptography.There are t
45、hree main types of cryptography. 37 For example, the first letters are “My elephant eats too many eels” spell out the hidden message “Meet me.”38 You might represent each letter with a number, for example, lets number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitute a number for
46、 each letter, the message “Meet me” would read “1 3 5 20 13 5”. A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. 39 For example, “bridge” might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me”. The message “bridge out” would a
47、ctually mean “Meet me”. 40 However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently.A. As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them.B. In any language, some letters are used more than others.C. Only people who know the keyword can read th
48、e message.D. It is very hard to break a code without a code book.E. With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words.F. You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out.G. Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet.第二部分完形填空( 本题共 20 小题，每小题 1.5 分, 共 30 分)It is exciting to apply for a job that really appeals to you.
