Unit 1
As a foreigner doing business in the United States, I feel very rushed. I am used to friendly
opening exchanges when doing business. Here in Chicago, things are different.
There is no time
for getting to know each other. This does not seem



1



to me. There is no chance to develop
a
sense
of trust when
people
meet
to
talk
over
issues.
There
are
no



2



like
tea
or coffee
before discussing business, though this is a



3



in my country. When we discuss business it
starts with a



4



chat. I think that it is important for business partners to get familiar with
each other first and to feel relaxed.
If the exchange is too



5


, there is a risk that something
will be forgotten. Some possibilities go without being



6



when there is too much pressure.
I don
’
t believe this
is the best strategy for proper communication.
Besides, the



7



is that
they just don
’
t care about you as an individual here.
Y
ou
are basically
just another



8



of
making money.
All of this used to create a real



9



for me. At first, it caused me to have a little __10__
with
American
business
partners
as
possible.
Gradually,
though, I
have
come
to
understand
the
cultural differences between our two countries. This has really helped me to feel more comfortable
doing business here.

A) assessed
E) perception
I) dilemma
M) convenient
B) accessed
F) distinction
J) relation
N) leisurely
C) rituals
G) means
K) interaction
O) abrupt
D) convention
H) process
L) appropriate

Unit 2
Bill Johnson
’
s path to Olympic gold was different than that of most.
In fact, even though he
was the first American man to ever win the downhill skiing event, many



1



him as a true
Olympic hero. He was a rebellious kid who came from a troubled background., and he boasted too
much.
Moreover,
he
only
became



2



in
skiing
because
a
judge
sent
him
to
a ski
school
after
he
had
stolen
a
car
at
age
17.
There
was
no
lifelong



3



to
the
sport.
He
did
not
___4___ the Olympic spirit. He did not gain distinction by continuously training for his event.
Still,
few
failed
to



5



his
marvelous
race
in
the
1984
Winter
Olympic
Games
in
Sarajevo. He was just a natural skier and his technique was



6



for the course. And so even
before the race began, he was



7



victory
.
“
This course was made for me. Nothing can stop
me,
”
he had boasted. He also caused some comments when he talked about the millions of dollars
he would be able to make after he won the race. This made many skiers



8



toward him.
That
just



9



him
even
more.
Then
on
the
day
of
the
event,
he
turned
out
the fastest.
“
It
takes a lot of courage to throw yourself down a mountain,
”
Bill Johnson


10


proudly after he
won a gold medal for the United States.
“
Not many can do that.
”


A) remarked
E) perfect
I) respect
M) claiming
B) encouraged
F) reluctant
J) appreciate
N) declining
C) benefit
G) hostile
K) involved
O) rejected
D) commitment
H) exemplify
L) regarded

Unit 3
At first, my dad was not in favor of me marrying Will because Will is black. I guess my dad
was a bit of racist. Unfortunately, no arguments could counter Dad
’
s beliefs. Despite his ___1___,
though, Will and I decided to go through with our wedding.
On a marvelous June day, we were
married
in
the
park.
The
wedding
went
off
without
any



2



words
or
embarrassing
exchanges. It was actually quite beautiful.
There was just one problem.
Many of our friends and
relatives
didn
’
t



3



our
wedding.
I
had
to



4



that
my
dad
was
not
the
only
prejudiced
person
we
knew.
Other than
my
father,
no
one
had
come
out
to speak
against
my
relationship with Will. It did not seem



5



for them to show their resistance to our marriage
in
this way.
My
dad
had
strong



6



about
my
marriage
to
Will,
but
at
least
he was
there.
Will
and
I
decided
to



7



this
burden
by
showing
everyone
how
wrong
they
were.
We
wanted not only to love one another, but also to



8



racial hatred by loving one another. We
probably weren
’
t being all that



9


, but we did succeed with one person. My dad and Will
have
developed
a(n)


10


friendship.
My
dad
says
he
has
forgotten
why
he
ever
had
any
doubts about our marriage.

A) overcome
E) accomplish
I) realistic
B) deny
F) attend
J) efficient
C) defy
G) related
K) amazing
O) reservations
D) conclude
H) appropriate
L) hostile
M) protests
N) distrust

Unit 4
What do we know about love?
Is it, as some people would suggest, a mysterious force?
Or
can
it
be
explained
and
possibly
even



1


?
Well,
even
in
this scientific
and
reason-driven
age,
love
seems still
to



2



total
understanding.
We can,
however,
know
something
about
love and make stronger



3



between individuals.
One thing that seems to



4



love is distance. The common idea is that the love between
people grows as they are



5


. Sometimes it is true that longing for someone who has gone
overseas becomes more



6


.
Something that



7



love is danger. Send both lovers to dangerous places and they will
end up loving each other more. This could be caused by the worry it develops. It could also be that
feelings of



8



or need transform into love with time.
Love
gives
us
warmth,
courage,
and
a
feeling
of
being
safe,
but
it
also



9



selfless
devotion
and
sacrifice.
If
you
are
truly


10


to
finding
true
love,
you should
make
yourself
more interesting. Do things that you enjoy and try to meet people who share identical interests.

A) intense
E) nourishes
I) alter
M) forbidden
B) uncertainty
F) comforts
J) defy
N) committed
C) demands
G) connections
K) isolated
O) created
D) commands
H) affect
L) separated

Unit 5
My son has started to hang out with the wrong type of boys.
He is fifteen years old and until
recently
I
had
always
been
grateful
for
how
easy
he
has
been
to
raise.
Lately,
though,
he was
___1___ to listen to what I say. He used to be such a sweet boy, but being in high school seems to
have
hardened
him
against
authority figures.
The change
in
his
attitude
has
been
very
___2___
even to his teachers.
The other day I asked him to come straight home after school, but instead he



3



and
stayed out until ten o
’
clock. Later I found out that he had



4



school completely that day. I
found out that he was with a(n)



5



of boys who often cause trouble.
I decided to ___6___
him to do anything with those boys, but he didn
’
t listen to me. In spite of my



7



to him
being with those boys, he was with them the very next day.
A

friend
of
mine
has
a
son who
is
having



8



problems.
She
decided
to
give
him
a
change
of
environment
and sent
him
to
a
private
school.
I
’
m
not sure
this
is
the
best



9


,
though.
Y
ou
can
’
t
just
change
a
boy
’
s


10


by

time
he
does
something wrong. It is better to help kid a establish a good set of core values.

Unit 7
My family, my boss, even my doctor had told me this would happen, but I didn
’
t listen. They
said I was getting



1



and focusing too much on the negative things that happened to me.
“
If you don
’
t learn to control how you



2



to bad things that happen in your life, you are
going to cause damage to your heart,
”
said my doctor.
“
So many of situations you



3



about
are
beyond
your
control.
Getting
caught
in
them
is
very



4



for
you
physically
and
emotionally.
Y
ou
have
to
learn
to
let
these
things
go
and



5



on
things
you can
actually
change.
”

I,
undoubtedly,
should
have
made
his
advice
my
number
one



6



right
then.
Unfortunately,
I
got caught
in
a
traffic



7



that
very same
day while
driving
home
from
work.
This
was
the
setting
for
the
heart
attack
my
doctor
had



8



me
about.
Instead
of
looking for a better outlet for my stress, I began to



9



at the car in front of me.
Then the
muscle
fibers
of
my
heart
began
beating
like
a
bag
of
worms
instead
of
pumping
blood.
Fortunately, it was only a mild heart attack. Someone came to my aid and then


10


me to the
hospital. I have definitely learned that life is too short to worry about things you can
’
t control.

A) priority
E) react
I) focus
M) threatened
B) favorite
F) counter
J) destructive
N) overwhelmed
C) jam
G) complain
K) financial
O) accompanied
Unit 8
Having
a
lot
of
money
is
useless
without
a
good
education.
Life
isn
’
t
simply
about
consumption and having a good time when you
’
re not at work.
Money will only cause you grief
unless
you
use
it
for
the



1



of
the world.
That
’
s why
I
believe
that
a
good
education
is
___2___. A
formal education with emphasis on history, literature, and culture helps a person learn
how to



3



right from wrong.
Education that only teaches skills specific to a job can only
D) yell
H) moan
L) warned
Keys: N E G J I A
C L D O
___4___
skills
for
performing
a
task.
It
doesn
’
t
teach
you
how
to
make
important
decisions.
Employers
tend
to
demand
more
from
their
employees
than
the
ability
to
perform
a
task.
Our
world
needs
workers
who
pay
constant
attention
to
high
standards
for
their



5


.
It
is
___6___
that far
too
many
people
today
are
focusing
on
making
money
and
not
on
improving
themselves.
What



7



me
is
why
people
should
ignore
contributions
to
the
good
of
humanity while making money.
It is only



8



that a person who gives to the world enjoys
the benefits. After all, our



9



simply can
’
t be built on the principle of making money alone.
In


10

, we must educate our young people to understand and love the world around the.
This is the only way to ensure a better tomorrow.

A) welfare
E) performance
I) main
M) distinguish
B) payment
F) manner
J) evident
N) render
C) puzzles

K) visible

完形填空部分

Unit 1
I am frequently asked the question,
“
Can you use chopsticks?
”
I have lived
in
Korea, Japan
and
China.
In
each country
, I
have,



1



than
not
and without
having
requested
one,
been
given
a
fork



2



one was
available.
I
have
politely
refused
and said
that
I would
be
fine
with chopsticks. Sometimes, I have to make



3



explanation.
Chopsticks are



4



my worries when I am eating in an Asian home or restaurant. In fact,
learning



5



to
use chopsticks takes
me



6



a
few weeks. This
is
not
to say
I was
skillful, though. Learning how to use chopsticks is easy for me,



7



learning the rituals and
how to



8



myself at the table is quite difficult.



9



times do I have to say
“
no, thank
you
”



10


I
really
mean
“
no,
thank
you,
I truly
am
full
”
?
How
do I
get
away with
refusing
more food without


11


someone? If I insist and I still get more, is it appropriate just not to eat
it? This would be


12


where I come from.
I
have
enjoyed
many
great
meals
and
my


13


with
the
people
have
been
great.
I
am

__14__ aware that I will never be able to


15


as much as I have received. I don
’
t know how I
can ever thank all of the people who introduced me to eating in Asia.
