19、Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.37 This story began about 10 years ago. I was coming out of a very bad marriage. For seven long years my husband spent his every waking moment telling me just what was wrong with me. When I finally asked for a divorce, he answered by telling me that I would never

20、find anyone to love me because I was just so unattractive. This went on for about two years. One night one of my friends convinced me to go out with her. We went to a nightclub and that was when I met him.Clint was playing a game with a girl, I sat in the corner watching him. I didnt feel that I had

21、 whatever it took to get up and mix with others because of my self-esteem problem. Finally I got up the courage to order him a drink. When he got it, he gave me the most dazzling smile. We spent the rest of the evening talking until I realized that it was almost morning. I figured that he was simply

22、 being nice to me because I had bought him a drink, but the very next day he called and told me that he couldnt stop thinking about me and that he wanted to meet my kids, too.About 3 months later, my divorce was final and Clint sat my boys down and asked them if it was all right with them if he aske

23、d me to marry him because he couldnt imagine life without the three of us any more. I was so touched that he went to my boys and asked for their approval because they were the “men of the house“ at the ripe old ages of 2 and 4. They said yes and we have all been together ever since. Clint gave my bo

24、ys and me a second chance at a wonderful life. Not a day goes by that he doesnt tell us that we are the best thing that ever happened to him and that he loves us.38 The writers first marriage was unsuccessful because _.（A）her husband often woke her up at midnight（B） her husband kept criticizing her（

25、C） she was unattractive（D）she had a self-esteem problem39 When the writer asked for a divorce, her husband _.（A）told her that she would never find one who loved her as he did（B） delayed two years before giving her a reply（C） accused her of having an affair（D）said that she was unattractive and not wo

26、rth loving40 When the writer first met Clint, she felt that _.（A）she should have listened to her friend and met Clint earlier（B） Clint was a nice, dazzling young man（C） Clint could not be really interested in her（D）she would find true love in Clint41 The writer was particularly touched by Clint beca

27、use he _.（A）loved the kids and asked for their approval of the marriage（B） said that he could not imagine a life without her and the kids（C） believed that at 2 and 4, the two kids were the “men of the house“（D）kept her company and talked with her until the next morning42 The writers marriage to Clin

28、t is important to her mainly because _.（A）it gave her and her sons a second chance to live a happy life（B） every day Clint would tell the writer that he loved her（C） it helped her to regain her self-respect（D）it made her kids happy, which is all she cared about42 Its very interesting to note where t

29、he debate about diversity is taking place. It is taking place primarily in political circles. Here at the College Fund, we have a lot of contact with top corporate leaders; none of them is talking about getting rid of those instruments that produce diversity. In fact, they say that if their companie

30、s are to compete in the global village and in the global market place, diversity is an imperative. They also say that the need for talented, skilled Americans means we have to expand the pool means promoting policies that help provide skills to more minorities, more women and more immigrants. Corpor

31、ate leaders know that if that doesnt occur in our society, they will not have the engineers, the scientists, the lawyers, or the business managers they will need.Likewise, I dont hear people in the academy saying. “Lets go backward. Lets go back to the good old days, when we had a meritocracy (which

32、 was never true we never had a meritocracy, although weve come close to it in the last 30 years) “. ! recently visited a great little college in New York where the campus had doubled its minority population in the last six years. I talked with an African American who has been a professor there for a

33、 long time, and she remembers that when she first joined the community, there were fewer than a handful of minorities on campus. Now, all of us feel the university is better because of the diversity. So where we hear this debate is primarily in political circles and in the media not in corporate boa

34、rd rooms or on college campuses.43 The word “imperative“ in the first paragraph most probably refers to something _.（A）superficial（B） remarkable（C） debatable（D）essential44 Which of the following groups of people still differ in their views on diversity?（A）Minorities.（B） Politicians.（C） Professors.（D

35、）Managers.45 High corporate leaders seem to be in favor of promoting diversity so as to _.（A）lower the rate of unemployment（B） win equal political rights for minorities（C） be competitive in the world market（D）satisfy the demands of a growing population46 It can be inferred from the passage that _.（A

36、）meritocracy can never be realized without diversity（B） American political circles will not accept diversity（C） it is unlikely that diversity will occur in the U. S. media（D）minorities can only enter the fields where no debate is heard about diversity47 According to the passage, diversity can be ach

37、ieved in American society by _.（A）expanding the pool of potential employees（B） promoting policies that provide skills to employees（C） training more engineers, scientists lawyers and business managers（D）providing education for all regardless of race or sex47 Its no secret that many children would be

38、healthier and happier with adoptive parents than with the parents that nature dealt them. Thats especially true of children who remain in abusive homes because the law blindly favors biological parents. Its also true of children who suffer for years in foster homes because of parents who cant or won

39、t care for them but refuse to give up custody rights.Fourteen-year-old Kimberly May fits neither description, but her recent court victory could eventually help children who do. Kimberly has been the object of an angry custody baffle between the man who raised her and her biological parents, with wh

40、om she has never lived. A Florida judge ruled that the teenager remain with the only father shes ever known and that her biological parents have “no legal claim“ on her.The ruling, though it may yet be reversed, sets aside the principle. that biology is the primary determinant of parentage. Thats an

41、 important development, one thats long overdue.Shortly after birth in December 1978, Kimberly May and another infant were mistakenly switched and sent home with the wrong parents. Kimberlys biological parents, Ernest and Regina Twigg, received a child who died of a heart disease in 1988. Medical tes

42、ts showed that the child wasnt the Twiggs own daughter, but Kimberly was, thus sparking a custody baffle with Robert May. In 1989, the two families agreed that Mr. May would maintain custody with the Twiggs getting visiting rights. Those rights were brought to an end when Mr. May decided that Kimber

43、ly was being harmed.The decision to leave Kimberly with Mr. May rendered her suit debated. But the judge made it clear that Kimberly did have standing to sue on her own behalf, therefore she was more than just property to be handled as adults saw fit.Certainly, the biological link between parent and

44、 child is fundamental. But biological parents arent always preferable to adoptive ones, and biological parentage does not convey an absolute ownership that cancels all the rights of children.48 What was the primary consideration in the Florida judges ruling?（A）The biological link.（B） The childs bene

45、fits.（C） The traditional practice.（D）The parents feelings.49 We can learn from the Kimberly case that _.（A）children are more than just personal possessions of their parents（B） the biological link between parent and child should be emphasized（C） foster homes bring children more pain and suffering tha

46、n care（D）biological parents shouldnt claim custody rights after their child is adopted50 The Twiggs claimed custody rights to Kimberly because they _.（A）found her unhappy in Mr. Mays custody（B） regarded her as their property（C） were her biological parents（D）felt guilty about their past mistake51 Kim

47、berly had been given to Mr. May _.（A）by sheer accident（B） out of charity（C） at his request（D）for better care52 The authors attitude towards the judges ruling could be described as _.（A）doubtful（B） critical（C） cautious（D）supportivePart BDirections: Read the text, match the items (61-65) to one of the

49、:Tile quest for success always begins with a target. As baseball Hall of Famer Yogi Berra once said, “You got to be very careful if you dont know where youre going, because you might not get there.“Too many people wander through life sleepwalkers. Each day they follow familiar routines, never asking, “What am I doing with my life? And they dont know what theyre doing b
