2．只允許修改10處，多者（從第11處起）不計(jì)分．
One cold winter day in 1900，a small boy calling Charles Chaplin was walking along the street in London．He doesn't have breakfast or lunch．He wanted to buy any bread，and he didn't have any money．His father died since he was very young．His mother was often ill，so she couldn't take care about Charles or his brother．Neither of them had to work to help for their mother．He was very young but his dream was very big．He wanted to be great man in the world of films，so he worked very hardly．

20．What time is it？Most people are pretty accurate in their answer．And if you don't know for sure，it's very likely that you can find out．There may be a watch on your wrist； there may be a clock on the wall，desk，or computer screen； or maybe you're riding in a car that has a clock in the dashboard（儀表板）．
Even if you don't have a timepiece of some sort nearby，your body keeps its own beat．Humans have an internal clock that regulates（調(diào)節(jié)） the beating of our heart，the pace of our breathing，the discharge（排出） of chemicals within our bloodstream，and many other bodily functions．
Time is something from which we can't escape．Even if we ignore it，it's still going by，ticking away，second by second，minute by minute，hour by hour．So the main issue in using your time well is，"Who's in charge？"We can allow time to slip by and let it be our enemy（敵人）．Or we can take control of it and make it our ally．
By taking control of how you spend your time，you'll increase your chances of becoming a more successful student．Perhaps more importantly，the better you are at managing the time you devote to your studies，the more time you will have to spend on your outside interests．
The aim of time management is not to schedule every moment so we become all slaves of a timetable that governs every waking moment of the day．Instead，the aim is to permit us to make informed choices as to how we use our time．Rather than letting the day go by，largely without our awareness，what we are going to discuss next can make us better able to control time for our own purposes．

33．The underlined word"ally"in Para.3most likely means somebody or something that isB．
A．your slave and serves you
B．your friend or supporter and helps you
C．under your control and obeys you
D．under your influence and follows you
34．The author intends to tell us that timeC．
A．could be regulated by a timepiece such as a clock or a watch
B．could be managed by the internal clock of human bodies
C．should be well managed for our own interest
D．should be saved for outside interests
35．In the next part，the author would most probably discuss with youD．
A．how to keep up with the times
B．how to make up for lost time
C．how to have a good time
D．how to make good use of time．

19．To travel around the world is the dream of many adventurous（冒險(xiǎn)的） people．But very few people can afford a global tour because hotels，food and airplane tickets are too expensive．Some people，however，have thought of some ways to realize their dreams．
Laura Cody and Tanbay Theune，a couple from Britain，decided to travel around the world．They have found a good way to pay for their trips．They look after pets for rich house owners．In exchange，they can stay in the houses for free．They have looked after horses，cows，cats，dogs and fish．In two years，the couple has been to Australia，Germany，Spain and Italy．They have stayed in big cities and small villages．The home owners are usually very generous and have given them food，wine and day trips．
Another person who tries to realize her travel dream is photographer Rhiannon Taylor．She travels around the world to visit，review and take photos of the best hotels．She shares the places she stays and the food she eats on the Internet with tens of thousands of followers．
With these ways of making money，traveling around the world is no longer a dream．More and more young people are thinking creatively to make their dream come true．

28．Why do most people feel hard to make their travel dream come true？C
A．Because they can hardly find hotels．
B．Because the food is not healthy．
C．Because the cost of travel is high．
D．Because they are afraid of adventure．
29．The best word to describe the way of realizing the travel dream isB．
A．special 　　　B．creative　　　 
C．rich　　　　  D．a(chǎn)dventurous
30．It is known from the passage that Laura and Tanbay paid for their trips byD．
A．staying in the house for free
B．being given food and day drinks
C．going to Australia and other countries
D．looking after pets for rich house owners
31．According to the passage，Taylor is a photographer who shares her photosA．
A．on the Internet 　　　　　　　　
B．during her travel
C．with hundreds of followers 　　　
D．during staying in hotels
32．What does the underlined word"generous"mean in ChineseC
A．吝嗇的 　　　　  B．友善的　　　　 
C．慷慨的　　　　　 D．冷漠的．

18．Life will probably be very different in 2050．First of all，it seems that TV channels will have disappeared by 2050．Instead，people will choose a programme from a"menu"and a computer will send the programme directly to the television．Today，we can use the World Wide Web to read newspaper stories and see pictures on a computer thousands of kilometers away．By 2050，music，films，programmes，newspapers and books will come to us in this way．
In many places，agriculture（農(nóng)業(yè)） is developing quickly and people are growing fruit and vegetables for export．This uses a lot of water．Therefore，there could be serious shortages．Some futurologists predict（預(yù)測(cè)） that water could be the cause of war if we don't act now．
In future，cars will run on new，clean fuels and they will go very fast．Cars will have computers to control the speed of them and there won't be any accidents．Today，many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are．By 2050，the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination．Also，by 2050，space planes will fly people from Los Angels to Tokyo in just two hours．
Some big companies now prefer to use robots that do not ask for pay rises or go on strike（罷工），and work 24hours a day．By 2050，we will see robots everywhere-in factories，schools，offices，hospitals，shops and homes．
By 2050，we will be able to help blind and deaf people see again and hear again．Nowadays，scientists have discovered how to control genes（基因） and have already produced clones of animals．By 2050，scientists will be able to produce clones of people and decide how they look，how they behave and how much intelligence they have．Scientists will be able to do these things，but should they？

24．By 2050，people will get information mainly byD．
A．watching TV                      B．reading newspapers
C．listening to the radio           D．turning to a website
25．From the second paragraph，we learn thatA．
A．the need for water in the future will increase a lot
B．future wars will lead to an increasing need for water

26．Which of the following is NOT a reality at the present time？D
A．Scientists have found out how to control genes．
B．Cars have computers which tell drivers their positions．
C．People can learn about what has happened anywhere on the Internet．
D．Robots have completely replaced humans in some factories．
27．What will play the biggest part in the quality of future life？B
A．Medicine．    B．Technology．

17．3 habits of remarkably charming people
　　Some people instantly make us feel important．Some people instantly make us feel special．Some people light up a room just by walking in．They're naturally charming．（36）FFamiliarity leads to，well，familiarity．
　�。�37）D：They build and maintain great relationships，consistently influencing the people around them positively．They're the kind of people we all want to be around and want to be．Fortunately we can，because being remarkably charming isn't about our level of Success or our presentation skills or how we dress or the image we project-it's about what we do．Here are the 3 habits of remarkably charming people：
　　They listen more than they talk．
　　Ask questions．Maintain eye contact，smile，flown or nod．In a word，respond-not so much verbally，but nonverbally．（38）BThen when you do speak，don't offer advice unless you're asked．Listening shows you care a lot more than offering advice．
　�。�39）G　　No one receives enough praise．No one．Tell people what they did well．Wait，you say you don't know what they did well？Shame on you-it's your job to know．It's your job to find out ahead of time．Not only will people appreciate your praise，they'll appreciate the fact you care enough to pay attention to what they're doing．
　　They choose their words．
　　For example，you don't have to go to a meeting； you get to go meet with other people．You don't have to create a presentation for a new client； you get to share cool stuff with other people．You don't have to go to the gym；（40）CYou don't have to interview job candidates； you get to select a great person to join your team．

A．Praise IS what we need when we don't feel good about ourselves．
B．That's all it takes to show the other person they're important．
C．you get to work out and improve your health and fitness．
D．But some people are remarkably charming．
E．They discuss the failings of others．
F．Unfortunately，natural charm quickly loses its impact．
G．They shine the spotlight on others．

16．Wise compromise is one of the basic principle and virtue of the British．
　　If a continental greengrocer asks 14 shillings （or crowns，or francs） for a bunch of radishes，and his customer offer 2，and finally they strike a bargain agreeing on 6 shilling，this is just the low continental habit of bargaining； on the other hand if the British dock-workers or any other workers claim a rise of 4 shillings per day，and the employer first flatly refuse even a penny，but after a six week's strike they agree to a rise of 2 shilling a day-that is yet another proof of the British genius for compromise．Bargaining is a hateful habit； compromise is one of the highest human virtues-the difference between the two is that the first is practiced on the continent，the latter in Great Britain．
　　The genius for compromise has another aspect，too．It has a tendency to unite together everything that is bad．English club life，for instance，unites the duties of social life with the boredom of being alone．An average English house combines all the curses of civilizations with the ups and downs of life in the open．It is all right to have windows，but you must do not have double windows because double would indeed stop the wind from blowing right into the room，and after all，you must be fair and give the wind a chance．It is all right to have central heating in an English home，except in the bathroom，because that is the only place where you are naked and wet at the same time，and you must give British germs a fair chance．The open fire is an accepted，indeed a traditional institution．You sit in front of it and your face is hot while your back is cold．It is a fair compromise between two extremes and settles the problem of how to burn and catch cold at the same time．
　　English spelling is a compromise between documentary expressions and an delicate code-system； spending 3 hours in a queue in front of a cinema is a compromise between entertainment and asceticism（苦行主義）； the English weather is a fair compromise between rain and fog； to employ an English charwoman is a compromise between have a dirty house or cleaning it yourself； Yorkshire pudding is a compromise between a pudding and the county of Yorkshire．
