21、Being a young boy, I began to learn what people said was not always what they really meant or felt.And I knew it was possible to get others to do what I wanted if I read their real feelings and responded suitably to their needs.At the age of eleven, I sold rubber door-to-door after school and quickly worked out how to tell if someone was likely to buy from me.When I knocked on a door, if someone told me to go away but their hands were open and they showed their palms (the inside surfaces of their hands), I knew it was safe to continue because they weren’t angry although they may have a dismissive (不屑的) attitude.If someone told me to go away in a soft voice but used a pointed finger or closed hand, I knew it was time to leave.
As a teenager, I became a salesperson, and my ability to read people earned me enough money to buy my first house.Selling gave me the chance to meet people and study them close and to know whether they would buy or not.
I joined the life insurance (保险) business at the age of twenty.And I went on to break several sales records for my company, becoming the youngest person to sell over a million dollars’ worth of business in my first year.This achievement allowed me to become a member of the well-known Million Dollar Round Table (MDRT), which recognizes the world’s top achievers in life insurance.I was lucky that the skills I’d learned as a boy in watching body language while selling could be used in this new area, and were directly related to the success I could have in any business closely connected with people.

③He broke the first sales record for the insurance company.
④He got the chance to meet people and watch body language.
A．①④③②
B．④①③②

22、There’s no shortage of web sites offering deals-everything from daily deals to members-only private sales. But when it comes to real jaw-dropping deals, there’s one company that seems to have figured out a way to really deliver.
The company is called Quibids and they auction the hottest, in-demand electronics like Apple ipads and ipods, as well as other items like gift cards from the top retailers. Unlike other sites, the prices people pay are nowhere near retail. How low are the prices?
$ 33.84 for a new Apple ipad 32 GB(retail $ 600)
$ 22.10 for a new Nikon D90 Digital SLR Camera(retail $ 1070)
Our first reaction on seeing these prices was disbelief. After all, how could Quibids possibly afford to sell these items for so little — surely they must be losing a lot of money.
That’s where its unique business model comes into play. You see, for every bid a buyer places for an item on Quibids, the company collects a small fee from the bidder. The fee to bid is only about 60 cents, but based on the volume of sales and bids, the company is able to collect enough to make up for the ridiculous prices the items sell for.
But best of all, participating in the Quibids auction is incredibly fun. Because each bid costs a little to place, shoppers can strategize when to place their bids. Each auction has a strict time limit. When you place your bid, the system adds a little time to the auction to see if any other bids come in. If you have the winning bid when the clock runs out — you win the item for that price.
But the best part of Quibids may be the “Buy-It-Now” feature. This allows bidders who did not win an auction to still buy the product they want and apply the cost of the bids they placed as a discount on the regular product price. So you still get the item and the bids you placed previously in the auction don’t cost you anything!
【1】According to the passage, the success of Quibids mainly lies in ________.
A．their willingness to risk losing money
B．the change in people’s shopping model
C．the quality of the goods and service
D．how its buying and selling is conducted
【2】It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A．other retailers will be out of business
B．the prices on Quibids are the lowest
C．Quibids only sell popular electronics
D．winning a bid is not just a matter of luck
【3】A buyer who bid twice for a $ 20 MP4 can get one from “Buy-It-Now” for ________.
A．$ 21.2
B．$ 20
C．$ 19.4
D．$ 18.8
【4】Which might be the most suitable title for the passage?
A．The Most Successful Shopping Website
B．How to Buy New Must–have Electronics
C．Buy Products for Next to Nothing
D．Tips on Shopping Online
23、Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is a name that every lover of English literature will always remember and cherish. He is the pen father of the extraordinary detective Sherlock Holmes and a number of detective stories.
Arthur chose to go to medical field and become a surgeon from the University of Edinburgh, and this is the place where Arthur met a person who influenced him to become a writer. It was one of his teachers Dr. Joseph Bell who was master at observation, logic, detection and diagnosis. All these qualities were later found in the character of the celebrated detective Sherlock Holmes.
1888 was a significant year that rocketed Doyle to fame with his novel which was named as ‘A Study in Scarlet’ in which he introduced his two immortal characters—Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson. The story ‘The Sign of Four’ was instrumental in establishing Sherlock Holmes and Arthur Conan Doyle in literature.
The writer tried to open a practice in Paris but not a single patient came to him, which proved to be a blessing in disguise. It gave him a lot of time to think. And it was here that he met an illustrator named Sydney Paget who created the image of Sherlock Holmes which captured the minds of the readers and made the detective famous all over.
Doyle’s next creation was the delightfully violent Professor Challenger. ‘The Lost World’ which involved Professor Challenger was an immediate success.
Finally, because of his wife’s illness, Doyle decided to devote his life to his previous work rather than writing. This was the time when he decided to end the stories of Sherlock Holmes, which he did in ‘The Final Problem’.
The great Arthur Conan Doyle died at the age of 71 in 1930. He has left a legacy (遗产) to last us a lifetime and is still alive through his books and stories.
【1】What was Conan Doyle’s job in his early years?
A．A writer.
B．A doctor.
C．A detective.
D．A professor.
【2】How did Dr. Joseph Bell influence Conan Doyle?
A．By inspiring him to create Holmes.
B．By advising him to go to Paris.
C．By encouraging him to be a surgeon.
D．By teaching him the art of writing.
【3】Which book made Conan Doyle a hit overnight?
A．The Lost World.
B．The Sign of Four.
C．A Study in Scarlet.
D．The Final Problem.
【4】Which of the following best explains “a blessing in disguise” underlined in Paragraph 4?
A．Practice makes perfect.
B．Facts speak louder than words.
C．Failure is the mother of success.
D．Behind bad luck comes good luck.
24、National parks like Yellowstone are popular destinations for both family vacations and adventure trips alike. But there are some places that simply don’t get the love that they deserve despite the fact that they are truly impressive.
Isle Royale National Park
Located in the heart of Lake Superior, Isle Royale requires a bit of work to reach, but it is well worth the effort. Access is permitted only via daily ferries, which is why larger parks like Yellowstone see more visitors in a day than Isle Royale sees in a year. Wildlife like wolves are frequently spotted by hikers along the park’s scenic trails.
Dry Tortugas National Park
Another island park, the Dry Tortugas can be found 68 miles to the southwest of the Florida Keys. Accessible only by boat or plane, this park is actually quite small, but it’s packed with history, abundant sea life, and amazing coral reefs. At the center of the park is Fort Jefferson, the largest masonry(砖石)structure in the Western Hemisphere.
Wrangell-St. Elias National Park
Covering more than 13.2 million acres, Wrangell-St Elias National Park is the largest in the entire U.S. system. Remote and mostly undeveloped, this is a park that demands more from its visitors, after all there are just two roads that lead into it. But in return, it gives them a special connection with nature that simply isn’t found anywhere else.
Big Bend National Park
Travelers looking for a truly wild experience should have Big Bend National Park on their bucket lists. Big Bend is well known for its whitewater rafting camping, and hiking although during the summer months it can be intensely warm, keeping many visitors away.
【1】What is the main reason for fewer visitors to Isle Royale National Park?
A．The terrible work.
