natural
waste .

For
most
city
people,
the
elevator
is
an
unremarkable
machine
that
inspires none of the
enthusiasm or interest that Americans afford
trains,
jets
，
and
even bicycles. Dr. Christopher Wilk is a member of
a small
group of elevator experts who
consider this a misunderstanding. Without
the elevator, they point out, there
could be no downtown skyscrapers or
tall buildings, and city life as we
know it would be impossible. In that
sense, they
argue
，
the
elevator
’
s role in American
history has been no
less significant
than that of cars. In fact, according to Wilk? the
car and
the elevator have been locked
in a
“
secret
war
”
for over a century,
with
cars making it possible for people
to spread horizontally (
水平地
)
，
and
elevators
pushing them toward life in close groups of
towering vertical
(
垂直的
)columns.
What does the underlined word
“
this
”
in Paragraph 1 refer to
?
A
．
The general
view of elevators.
B
．
The particular
interests of experts.
C
．
The desire for
a remarkable machine.
D
．
The enthusiasm
for transport vehicles.
5.
Walt Disney is credited for creating such
wonderful things as Donald
Duck
and
Mickey
Mouse.
However,
he
cannot
take
the
credit
for
creating other well-loved characters,
such as Cinderella and Snow White.
They
are
almost
automatically
associated
with
Disney
because
Disney
turned old
fables(
寓言
) into cartoon
movies.
The original Cinderella varies
very much from the Disney version
we
know today. It started off with the girl mourning
her mother
’
s death
and
going to her
tomb
three
times
a
day.
In
addition,
there were
only
birds
that
helped
Cinderella;
there
was
no
such
thing
as
a
fairy
godmother
or
helpful
mice,
nor
was
there
mention
of
a
horse
and
carriage.

What dose the
underlined word “They” in the first paragraph
refer
to
?
A
．
Such wonderful
things.
B
．
Other
well-loved characters.
C
．
Old fables.
D
．
Cartoon movies.
6. You are given many
opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or
a
creator.
When
you
choose
to
be
a
victim,
the
world
is
a
cold
and
difficult place.
“
They
” did things
to you which caused all of your pain
and suffering. “They” are
wrong and bad, and life is terrible as
long as
“they”
are
around.
Or
you
may
blame
yourself
for
all
your
problems,
thus
internalizing(
内化
)
your
victimization.
The
truth
is,
your
life
is
likely to stay that way as long as you
feel a need to blame yourself or
others.
Those
who choose to be creators look at life quite
differently. They
know there are
individuals who might like to control their lives,
but they
don
’
t
let this get in the way. They know they have their
weaknesses, yet
they
don
’
t
blame
themselves
when
they
fail.
Whatever
happens,
they
have choice in the
matter. They believe their dance with each
sacred(
神
圣的
)
moment of life is a gift and that storms are a
natural part of life
which can bring
the rain needed for emotional and spiritual
growth.
What does the word
“
they
”
in Paragraph 1 probably refer to
?
A
．
People and
things around you.
B
．
Opportunities
and problems.
C
．
Creators and
their choices.
D
．
Victims and
their sufferings.

7. Sparrow is a
fast
－
food chain with 200
restaurants. Some years
ago
，
the
group
to
which
Sparrow
belonged
was
taken
over
by
another
company. Although
Sparrow showed no sign of
declining
，
the chain was
generally
in
an
unhealthy
state.
With
more
and
more
fast
－
food
concepts
reaching
the
market
，
the
Sparrow
menu
had
to
struggle
for
attention. And to make matters
worse
，
its new owner had no
plans to
give it the funds it required.
Sparrow failed to grow for another two
years until a new CEO
，
Carl
Pearson
，
decided
to build up its market share. He did a
survey
，
which
showed
that
consumers
who
already
used
Sparrow
restaurants
were
extremely positive
about the chain
，
while
customers of other fast
－
food
chains were unwilling to turn away from
them. Sparrow had to develop
a new
promotional campaign.

underlined word
“
them
”
in Paragraph 2 refer to

A
．
Customers of
Sparrow restaurants.
B
．
Sparrow
restaurants.

．
Customers of
other fast
－
food chains.
D

Other

－
