Maybe you think your parents, teachers or others can help you. But in fact, all these people only help you to help yourself. There have been many great men in history. They had few people to help them. They could not get good education, either. But they tried their best to learn and never gave up. One famous teacher in England once told his students, “I cannot make you great men, but I can help you make men of yourselves.”However, some young people do nothing and they depend on others. If these young people can see their weak points(弱点) and change their ways, they can be successful. They are nothing now, and will be nothing in the future, unless they take the advice of their parents and teachers, and most importantly, depend on themselves. 31. Our parents only help us to help _. A. ourselves B. themselvesC. others D. people in need32. Why did many great men in history succeed at last? Because _. A. they got good educationB. they worked hard and never gave upC. they had many good friends in the lifeD. their families could help them33. The famous teacher thought a teacher could _.

Young people must not give up success. 35. What is the best title of the passage? A. Others' Help Is ImportantB. Depending on YourselfC. How to Be FamousD. Teachers Are Important(B)Some people have a very poor sense of directions. Unluckily, I am one of them. I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time. When I was a little girl, I didn't dare to ask strangers the way. So I used to walk around in circles and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to. Now, I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive helpless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions. If anyone ever asks me the way somewhere, I would say, “Sorry, I am a stranger here.”Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps, I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn't want to keep him waiting. When I just got to my office, the secretary(秘书) showed in the man who had asked me for directions. Imagine how embarrassed I was and how surprised he was when we saw each other at the first sight. 36. The writer always refuses to give people directions because _. A. she is a stranger to the cityB. she is quietC. she doesn't know the peopleD. she's afraid of giving wrong directions37. A man stopped the writer on the way to _.

(C)There are few families in the United States that do not have either a radio or a television set. Both of them have become a necessary part of our daily life, keeping us filled with the news of the day, teaching us in many fields of interest, and making us happy with singing, dancing and acting. Marconi, the Italian inventor, who gave us the radio, probably didn't know how much his great invention would have done for the world in the years to come.

Travelers in or out-of-the-way places, ships at sea and even astronauts round the earth are able to keep in touch with each other by radio. The television is another important invention. It lets us see and hear the actor. Since its appearance, TV has done a great deal in the daily life of people everywhere. Many programs are now televised in color. Perhaps the most modern invention is “Telstar”, a “star” moving around the earth. It makes it possible for people all over the world to be closer than ever before. Now a family in Chicago can watch on TV a motorcar race in Italy, a table tennis competition in Beijing or a volleyball match in Japan as these events are actually happening! 41.

Because men would not live happily without them. C. Because they are the only ways to spread information. D. Because no communication means no life. 43. What is the use of a “Telstar” according to the passage? A. To receive and store information only. B. To move around the earth just like the moon. C. To give light onto the earth at night. D. To help send out radio or TV information to the world. 44. Who do you think the writer of the passage is? A. An Italian. B. A Japanese. C. An American. D. A Chinese. 45. When the writer introduces Marconi in the second paragraph, he means _. A. he was just an Italian inventor B. his invention has done much for the world C. he had reported much to people all over the world D. he helped people travel a lot around the world七、词汇运用(每小题2分, 共10分)根据句意、首字母或汉语提示完成单词。46.
