26、What would you like to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? An astronaut? What do you need to do to achieve your dream job?

Perhaps you think that studying well and then going on to work hard will get you the successful career you want. We are continuously taught that our hard work will eventually pay off.

But a government survey has shown that hard work is not the only thing that will help you to move up the ladder(梯子). Two thirds of people believe that who you know matters more than what you know when it comes to social activity. So are the connections that you have more important than your education?

Seventy-six percent of the people in the survey believed that family background is important in influencing your chances of success. They believed that if you are privileged（有特权的） from birth, you are more likely to have a successful career, especially if your family is wealthy.

Even if you don't have a privileged background, the people you know can still make a difference to your career. Networking is a skill which is encouraged by many career advisers. Some companies run networking workshops to try and encourage staff to meet other people, to communicate and build relationships. It's a valuable skill.

But the survey also showed something quite interesting. Although most people believed that networks are more important than education, many people put their own career success down to talent, rather than background. 41% of the people said that their parents' income had influenced their life, but at the same time, another 41% believed that they had achieved their own success.

So which is more important, what you know or who you know? It seems that by working hard and making lots of connections, the answer may be that both are very important.

【1】Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined part?

A．Practice makes perfect.

B．Nothing is impossible.

C．Hope for the best.

D．No pains, no gains.

【2】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A．76% of the people thought social relationship matters most.

B．41% of the people believed parents' income had impacted their life .

C．76% of the people rated family background first.

D．41% of the people believed they had gained their own success.

【3】What is the purpose of the writer to write this article?

A．to stress the importance of education

B．to tell the means of success

C．to illustrate how to make lots of social connections

D．to encourage people to work hard

【4】Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A．The Way to Success

B．Keep Your Dream in Mind

C．A Wealthy and Smooth Career

D．A Survey on People's Dreams

28、If you ask people to name the one person who had the greatest effect on the English language, you will get answers like "Shakespeare," "Samuel Johnson," and "Webster," but none of these men had any effect at all compared to a man who didn’t even speak English-William the Conqueror.

Before 1066, in the land we now call Great Britain lived peoples belonging to two major language groups. In the west-central region lived the Welsh, who spoke a Celtic language, and in the north lived the Scots, whose language, though not the same as Welsh, was also Celtic. In the rest of the country lived the Saxons, actually a mixture of Anglos, Saxons, and other Germanic and Nordic peoples, who spoke what we now call Anglo-Saxon(or Old English), a Germanic language. If this state of affairs had lasted, English today would be close to German.

But this state of affairs did not last. In 1066 the Normans led by William defeated the Saxons and began their rule over England. For about a century, French became the official language of England while Old English became the language of peasants. As a result, English words of politics and the law come from French rather than German. In some cases, modem English even shows a distinction(区别)between upper-class French and lower-class Anglo-Saxon in its words. We even have different words for some foods, meat in particular, depending on whether it is still out in the fields or at home ready to be cooked, which shows the fact that the Saxon peasants were doing the farming, while the upper-class Normans were doing most of the eating.

When Americans visit Europe for the first time, they usually find Germany more "foreign" than France because the German they see on signs and advertisements seems much more different from English than French does. Few realize that the English language is actually Germanic in its beginning and that the French influences are all the result of one man’s ambition.

【1】Before 1066, people in Britain mainly spoke .

A. Welsh and Scotlish   B. Nordic and Germanic

C. Anglo-Saxon and Germanic   D. Celtic and Old English

【2】How did William the Conqueror have a great effect on English?

A. By defeating the Saxons.

B. By speaking good English.

C. By teaching people in Britain to speak English.

D. By bringing French to Britain to greatly influence English.

【3】Why does Americans feel France is less foreign than Germany?

A. They know French better than German.

B. They know little history of the English history.

C. In France most of the advertisements appear in English.

D. There are more similarities between English and French.

【4】What is the main idea of this passage?

A. The history of Great Britain.

B. The French effects on English language.

C. The difference between English and French.

D. The great people who had effect on English.

29、   Is there someone that has always been there for you and supports you in times of need? For many people, their parents are the first ones that come to mind. Our parents are often the first and biggest sources of love and support.

You may not have thought about it much，but parents often sacrifice a lot to be able to provide so much for their children. For example, many parents have given up their dreams to make sure they could provide for their children. Whether it is their time, money or energy, parents often do whatever it takes to make sure they give their children the best they can offer.

Just take a look at Canadian-American actor Jim Carrey. Although he is a famous comedian and has been in dozens of movies, he still takes the time to appreciate the sacrifices his parents made to make sure he could make his dreams a reality. “My father could have been a great comedian, but he didn’t believe that was possible for him, so instead he got ajob asa salesman,” Carrey said in a video posted by Daily Mail. “When I was 12 years old, he was let go from that safe job. Our family had to do whatever we could to survive.” At the time, Carrey understood his father's sacrifice.

What are some things that you’ve noticed that your parents or loved ones have done to support you and your dreams? What are some things that you’ve done to help someone else in return?

It’s important to take some time to reflect upon the positive impact people have had on your life. So, if you realize that someone has helped you in a big—or even a little—way, be sure to let them know. I’m sure they will be happy to know that they have made the world a brighter place.

【1】What does the author say about parents?

A．They hardly enjoy their lives.

B．Introduce a new topic.

C．Make the readers reflect.

D．Summarize the previous paragraphs.

32、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

Birthdays are an occasion for reflection. In the 15 years since its founding in 2004, Facebook has altered America in three notable ways. First, the company has created a virtual “me-economy” where people share their feelings, photos and comments. The company has done this twice: once with its flagship social network, which became the pastime and addiction of college students and high scholars in the mid-2000 and again with Instagram, which is the most popular photo sharing App. It has shaped what it means and feels like to be young.

Second, Facebook has changed attitudes to privacy. The social network thrives through trust. After Facebook was launched, for the first time people felt comfortable sharing intimate details online, including their phone number, relationship status, likes and dislikes, location and more, because they felt they could control who had access to them. Users were vaguely aware that Facebook was starting to make a fortune by inappropriately using this data and selling advertisers access to specific types of users, but they mostly did not object.

Third, Facebook has left a lasting mark on politics. The social-networking firm has become an invaluable tool for politicians seeking office, both through paid advertisements to reach voters and free content that spreads on the social network. “You’d find it difficult to name a politician who’s been elected in the last ten years who didn’t use Facebook,” says David Kirkpatrick, author of The Facebook Effect, a history of the social network.

Can the social-media giant stay as influential in the next 15 years as it has already been? At the risk of being wrong about Facebook again, that seems unlikely. This is partly because its impact has already been so extensive. But it is also because of growing unease with the platform. As with all new technologies, from the printed book to the telegraph, social media can be used both for good and bad.
