题目内容
Dear Friend,
The recent success of children's books has made the general public aware that there's a huge market out there.
And there's a growing need for new writers trained to create the $3 billion worth of children's books bought each year ... plus stories and articles needed by over 650 publishers of magazines for children and teenagers.
Who are these needed writers? They're ordinary folks like you and me.
But am I good enough?
I was once where you might be now. My thoughts of writing had been pushed down by self-doubt, and I didn't know where to turn for help.
Then, I accepted a free offer from the Institute to test my writing aptitude(潜能), and it turned out to be the inspiration I needed.
The promise that paid off.
The Institute made the same promise to me that they will make to you, if you show basic writing ability:
You will complete at least one manuscript(手稿) suitable to hand in to a publisher by the time you finish ou
r course.
I really didn't expect any publication before I finished the course, but that happened. I sold three stories. And I soon discovered that was not unusual at the Institute.
Since graduation, I have authored 34 nationally published children's books and over 300 stories and articles.
Free test and brochure
We offer a free aptitude test and will send you a copy of our brochure describing our recognized home-study courses on the basis of one-on-one training.
Realize your writing dream today. There's nothing sadder than a dream delayed until it fades forever.
Sincerely,
Kristi Holl, Instructor
Institute of Children's Literature

Steve Paul Jobs was an American businessman and widely recognized as a pioneer of the personal computer revolution（革命）. He was co-founder, chairman, and CEO of Apple Company. His death is a great loss to us. The following is some more information about him.
1.
After Apple's founding, Steve Jobs became a symbol of his company and industry. At the time of his resignation, and again after his death, he was widely described as a pioneer and genius perhaps one of the foremost in the field of business, creation and product design, and a man who had changed the face of the modern world, completely changed at least six different industries. His death was considered a loss to the world by commentators(评论家) across the globe.
2.
Memorial candles and iPads to Steve Jobs lie outside the Apple Store in Palo Alto, California. Apple has lost a creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve Jobs have lost a dear friend and an inspiring guide. Steve jobs leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.
3.
As is still clearly remembered, it was not long before Steve Jobs left his office as CEO of Apple. But he remained at the company as chairman of the company's board. Hours after the announcement, Apple shares dropped by five percent in after-hour trading. The relatively small drop, when considering the importance of Steve Jobs to Apple, was associated with the fact that his health had been in the news for several years, and he was on medical leave since January 2011.
4.
Steve Jobs took a job as a technician at Atari company in California in 1974. He traveled to India in the summer of 1974. Seven months later, he returned to Atari and was assigned to create a circuit board for the game Breakout. With Wozniak, the founder of Atari, Steve Jobs began attending meetings of the Homebrew Computer Club where he got to know Edwin H. Land, the inventor of instant photography and founder of Polaroid Corporation, and modeled his career after him.
5.
Apple announced that it would buy NeXT for $429 million. The deal was finally made in late 1996, bringing Steve Jobs back to the company he co-founded. In order to concentrate Apple's efforts, Steve Jobs stopped a number of projects. With the purchase of NeXT, much of the company's technology found its way into Apple products. Under his guidance the company increased sales significantly with the introduction of the iMac and other new products. Since then, appealing designs and powerful branding have worked well for Apple.
第二节（共5小题;每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
I was in Tokyo last spring, walking in the street and talking with my dear friend Kirsten. 71 It turned out to be a group of four very hip Japanese college students playing their music instruments for anyone who would listen.
72 In the middle of the second song, an old homeless man broke through the crowd and started shouting at the band. The musicians did their best to ignore him but the man would not go away. It seemed he was angry about the loud noise.
I remember there were probably two dozen people watching this. 73 I was also helpless because first, I couldn’t speak much Japanese, and second, the homeless man was starting to get more and more violent. At one point, he picked up a stick and started banging on the drum set.
This was more than the young drummer could take. He stopped playing, stood up and pushed the old man to the ground.
74 He knelt down next to the old man, took hold of his hands and asked him if he was alright. I couldn’t understand what was being said, but I will never forget the way this young man helped bring the fallen man to his feet. And I will never forget the way he carefully placed his arm around the old man’s shoulders and quietly walked him away.
75 Maybe this old man was a prince in disguise. And maybe he was waiting to see someone act, just once, with beauty and courage.
|
A．I couldn’t help but wonder. |
|
B．All of them went away at once. |
|
C．Suddenly, we heard the sound of a jazz band. |
|
D．Everybody became angry with the old man. |
E.But no one knew what they could or should do.
F.However, not everyone was enjoying the music.
G.At that time, a young Japanese man went through the crowd quietly.
