请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、、B、C和D)中，
选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
I do a lot of management training each year for the Circle K Corporation，a national chain of convenience stores．Among the topics we address is the retention(保持力)of quality employees—a real challenge to managers when you consider the pay scale in the service industry．During these discussions，I ask the participants，“What has caused you to stay long enough to become fl manager?”
Some time back a new manager took the question and slowly，with her voice almost breaking，said，“It was a$19 baseball glove．”
Cynthia told the group that she originally took a Circle K clerk job as an interim position while she was looking for something better．On her second or third day behind the counter。she received fl phone call from her nine-year-old son，Jessie．He needed a baseball glove for Little League．She explained that as a single mother，money was very tight，and her first check would have to go for paying bills．Perhaps she could buy his baseball glove with her second or third check．
When Cynthia arrived for work the next morning，Patricia，the store manager，asked her to come to the small room in back of the store that served as an office．Cynthia wondered if she had done something wrong or left some part of her job incomplete from the day before．She was concerned and confused．
Patricia handed her a box．“I overheard you talking to your son yesterday. ” she said，“and I know that it is hard to explain things to kids．This is a baseball glove for Jessie because he may not，understand how important he is，even though you have to pay bills before you can buy gloves．You know we can’t pay good people like you as much as we would like to；but we do care，and 1 want you to know you are important to us．”
The thoughtfulness，empathy and love of this convenience store manager shows vividly that people remember more how much an employer cares than how much the employer pays．An important lesson for the price of a Little League baseball glove．
56．The best title of this passage is ________．
A．Management Training B．Jessie's Glove
C．Cynthia and Patricia D．Quality Employee
57．From this passage we know the following except _________．
A．Cynthia attended the management training for the Corporation

C．Jessie understood his mother as well as Patricia
D．Sometimes money seems not to be very important
58．Cynthia was promoted to the position of manager probably because ________．
A．she worked long hours every day
B．she was closely related to the store manager
C．she cared little about money
D．she showed great love for the corporation
59．The underlined word “interim" in the second paragraph means in Chinese _______

In the dark night of the desert a group of U．S．Air Force scientists are testing a new device for guiding a missile to its target．Designed to seek out the heat of an enemy aircraft engine，it is now going through its paces by tracing the movement of a flashlight waving thirty feet away in the darkness．
A hundred yards away，unseen by the men，an equally deadly missile is searching out its prey(猎物)．Sliding between the stones of the desert，a rattlesnake senses a patch of warmth．Without a sound the snake closes in and strikes for the kill．
Those two incidents dramatize one of the newest and most fascinating investigations of modern science．For the simple fact is that both the missile's seeker and the snake’s mechanism is so sensitive to the heat，although one is very huge while the other is very small．
Wherever we look in the animal world we find the same story．Almost anything that man can do，nature has already done better(and in far, far less space)．Compare the camera and the eye，the computer and the living brain，the radar set and the bat’s echolocation system．
‘ It is for the purpose of learning from nature that a new science has grown up．Called bionics, it is a kind of marriage between biology and electronics．Its aim is to find out how animals’ apparatus work so that man can copy them for his own use．
60．According to the passage，what are the scientists doing in the dark night?
A．Seeking out the trace of the enemy．B．Moving along the flashlight．
C．Conducting an experiment．D．Making a device．

A．small, but very sensitive B．big，but very sensitive

A．The Man-made Missile Device

Citizens of southern California are trying to get used to skyrocketing prices for gasoline．The average price for 87 octane economy gas is$2．28，30 percent higher today than it was 1 2 months ago．The lowest gas price in the Southland right now is$2．09 a gallon at the Seashell station in Arcadia· The station manager，Everett，said the reason his gas is cheaper than elsewhere is that he bought a lot of gas two years ago at reduced prices，so he IS passing his savings on to his customers．

67．What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Rich people are used to the high price of gasoline but poor people aren’t

Most people who travel from China to the US find that，despite having studied English for years，they have to “re—learn" it upon arriving．
Words that we learned in English classes are not pronounced the same way here．To truly be part of the “melting pot"，fluency in English is not enough．You need an accent to stand out．
When I first came to the US for graduate school，1 was a nervous foreigner．I felt so out of place that 1 wanted to hide everything about me that was “different”．To talk like an American became one Of my goals．
During my first term as a teaching assistant(TA)，my students complained they could not understand me．I learned later from a study that this complaint was common among US students with an international TA．It is called the “Oh, no!" syndrome(情绪、举动)：“Oh，no! Not another international TA，and not that accent again!’’
So I imitated the way native speakers talk and，over time，I made such good progress that American friends started to praise my English as having “almost no accent’’．I took this as a sign of my success．Ever since．people have often mistaken me for someone from many places：the Midwest，the West Coast，China，Japan，South Korea．Most frequently，people think I am from California．
Suddenly，conformity(一致)was no longer a praise：If I talk like an American，am I still Chinese? If I lose my Chinese accent，do I also lose my cultural identity? Am I denying my past by being absorbed into a new culture?
Now I realize that a person’s accent is a permanent record of their past cultural experience and it is a mark of one’s experience and exposure to diverse cultures．
As a fourth—year student in the US，I am no longer a nervous foreigner．My nervousness has been replaced by a desire to hold on to my cultural origins．Now I consciously add some Chinese “accent" when I speak．I do not wish to speak "perfect” English because I am proud of who I am．
72．In the first two paragraphs the writer wants to make it clear that __________
A．Chinese people have learned English quite well
B．foreign people can speak English as fluently as a native
C．pronunciation plays an important role for a foreigner in the US
D．people will have to be different when they arrive in the US
73．Which of the following best describes US students “Oh，no!" syndrome ?
A．They don’t want an international TA to come to the US．
B．They can’t understand the way an international TA speaks English．
C．An international TA grasps English better than them．
D．They wouldn’t like fin international TA to teach them．
74．The phrase “almost no accent" is used here to indicate __________．
’A．the writer is becoming more and more American in pronunciation
B．the writer doesn’t speak Chinese any longer
C．the writer is from California
D．the writer is sometimes mistaken for someone from the Midwest
75．From the text，it can be inferred that ___________．
A．talking with an American can be an advantage
B．an accent can hardly reflect people’s cultural background
C．perfect English can sometimes be a danger to people
D．remembering where you are from is necessary and important

One possible version:
Dear friends,
Everybody is likely to have a case of too much nervousness. But by recognizing the problem, we are taking the first step towards overcoming it.
Believe or not, proper nervousness has its advantages．Like in sports events to make athletes gain good results, it can also sharpen our mind，thus allowing us to perform well in exams．
However, too much nervousness can result in sleeplessness, harming our health. What’s worse， it can make our mind at a loss. As a consequence，our mistakes increase in exams，and we may even fail to write any answers．
Several methods can be used to solve above problem．Firstly，review our lessons well，which can make us have more confidence and 1ess anxiety. Secondly, take some deep breaths to calm down at the beginning of any exam. Last but not least, always keep this in mind： ‘‘I’ve studied hard，so I’m sure to do the best I can.
That’s all Thank you.
