“Yes,” he nodded.

“But they put a 42 after all these figures. They say all the figures are in ideal road conditions!”

“Yes,” he said again.

“Can you show me some ideal road conditions?” I asked him, and he smiled. “The car that sells well is the one 43 will provide power and speed on the 44 roads. That car is the winner.”

We had got to the car. “Don’t look for ideal competition conditions,” I said. “ 45 the unfair and come out a winner!”

I looked back as I drove away and saw him smile and wave, and I knew he would do as I said.

Quickly came the reply by airmail from her father--just two lines:

‘Two men looked out from prison bars. One saw the mud, the other saw stars.’ The daughter did some real thinking, not only with the intellect (思维)but also with her heart. She decided to stick to her post.

She made friends with the natives, learned to love the country, and eventually wrote a book about it.

第二节 摘录要点（5小题，计5分）

阅读下面的材料，然后在表格中完成内容摘要，每空不超过三个单词。

‘USA? Britain? Which country is better to study in?’ We often hear such discussions. As China opens its door, it is a dream for many Chinese students to study abroad. They want to learn about the outside world.

It’s true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Their

6

foreign language skills will be improved and it may be easier to find jobs.

But there are problems that should be considered. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language.

Students must also learn to live without parents’ care and deal with all kinds of things they haven’t had to do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad running into an ocean of difficulties and giving up finally. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well.

Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden（负担）to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth it?

We know that there are many famous people who have achieved success through their hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there, but he refused. He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal at the Athens Olympic Games. So when you wonder which country is better to study in, think again. Title: Studying at 56 or abroad Phenomenon（现象） Studying abroad has become a dream for Chinese students. ◆ It is helpful to the future development of Chinese Advantages students. ◆ It helps to 57 foreign language skills. ◆ It enables Chinese students to find jobs more easily. ◆ It 59 Chinese students too much time to learn a foreign language. ◆ It’s hard for Chinese students to get used to the life 58 abroad without parents’ care. ◆ Parents may be under pressure（压力）because the cost of studying abroad is very high. Purpose: To tell us studying abroad is not the only way to be 60 by describing Liu Xiang’s example.

第三节 回答问题（5小题，计10分）

阅读下面的材料，然后根据材料内容回答问题。

Think “rock, paper, scissors (剪刀)” is a children's game? Think again. Top players from around the world came together in Toronto to compete for a 10,000 – Canadian-dollar prize and the title of World Champion (世界冠军头衔). More than

7

500 players, including national champions from Australia, Norway and New Zealand, attended.

The simple game is often used to make decision and solve simple problems. Players hold their fists closed and count to three before making a fist (rock), a flat hand (paper) or two fingers (scissors). Paper covers rock, scissors cut paper and rock breaks scissors.

Players have different, opinions about the history of the game, but it is commonly believed to have been played for centuries in Japan. The Paper Scissors Stone Club opened in England in 1842 and players could play together there. In 1918, the name was changed to World RPS Club and its headquarters (总部) moved from London to Toronto.

The world championship started in 2002, and is held once every year. 61. How much can the winner of the game get as a prize? ______________________________ 62. 63.
