4．In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition．Some value it highly，believing that it is responsible for social-progress and prosperity．Others say that competition is bad； that it sets one person against another； that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people．
I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills．For them，playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs．In their single-minded pursuit of success，the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten．
However，while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed，others take an opposite attitude．In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players，they strongly blame competition．Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society．Teaching these young people，I often observe in them a desire to fail．They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success．By not trying，they always have an excuse："I may have lost，but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try．"What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost，that would mean a lot．Such a loss would be a measure of their worth．Clearly，this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves．Both are based on the mistake belief that-one's self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others．Both are afraid of not being valued．Only as this basic and  often trouble some fear begins to dissolve （缓解） can we discover a new meaning in competition．

32．What does this text mainly talk about？C
A．Competition helps to set up self-respect．
B．Competition is harmful to personal quality development．
C．People hold different opinions about competition．
D．Failures are necessary experience in competition．
33．Some people favor competition because they think itB．
A．builds up a sense of pride
B．pushes society forward
C．improves social abilities
D．develops people's relationship
34．The underlined phrase"the most vocal"in Paragraph 3refers to those whoA
A．are strongly against competition
B．highly value competition
C．try their best to win
D．mostly rely on others for success
35．Which viewpoint does the author agree to？C
A．Self-worth relies on winning．
B．Competition leads to unfriendly relationship．
C．Fear of failure should be removed in competition．
D．Winning should be a life-and-death matter．

8．In my opinion，the rich ______ not always happier than the poor，for money doesn't mean everything．（　　）

18．At Dulles High school in Sugar Land，Texas，the roster（候选名单）for Advanced Chinese begins with Jason Chao and ends with Kathy Zhang．In between comes an unexpected name：Elizabeth Hoffman．Hoffman，now a 12th grader，began learning Chinese in the eighth grade，has spent a summer studying in Nanjing and plans to perfect her Mandarin next fall．When asked by her peers---why she is learning Chinese，she responds with a question："why aren't you？"
    As China rushes toward superpower status，America's schools and government officials are responding to Hoffman's opinion．Earlier this year Rush Holt of New Jersey introduced legislation（立法）calling for increased money of programs for less commonly taught languages，"For reasons of economics，culture and security，we should have much better facilities（设备）with Chinese languages and dialects，"he said．The State Department has pointed out Chinese is becoming a"critical language"，but the most recent data show that only 24，000 students in Grade 7 to Grade 12 study Chinese．
    Still，the number is growing．In Chicago public schools，enrollment in Chinese classes has skyrocked from 5000 students in 2005 to nearly 35，000 students this year．In the Santa Clara County，California，enrollment has quadrupled during the same period．In 2007，when the College Board first introduces advanced-placement language exams in Chinese and Italian，2，400 high school plan to offer AP Chinese---10 times the number of students that plan to offer AP Italian．
    Much of the interest can be explained by China's increasing competitiveness．"People are always trying to judge what languages are going to be useful for the future，"says Marty Abbot，the director of education at the National Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages，Stephanie Wong，a student At Monta Vista High School in Cupertino，California，chose Chinese so that she could speak with her grandfather．Wong also predicted that Chinese will be important if she becomes a doctor.80 percent of people in her hometown are Asians．
32．What does the first paragraph mainly discuss？D

B．Jason and Kathy are the top students at Dulles School
C．Elizabeth Hoffman suggests her school offer a Chinese course
D．Elizabeth Hoffman takes the lead in learning Chinese

C．China rushes toward superpower status
D．many students in the world choose to learn Chinese
34．Barouses America's schools interest in Chinese．
A．The fact that Chinese is becoming a"critical language"
B．China's increasing competitiveness in the world
C．The beautiful Chinese traditional culture
D．The population of people speaking Chinese
35．We can infer from the passage thatD

D．if a language is useful for the future it may become a critical language．

15．Writing a book review is not like writing a fiction，where you have your freedom to express any type of literary mood．Here，you are limited within the scope，which is related only to the book or the literature and nothing else．To write a proper literary review，you should follow some important dos and don'ts，which are discussed here．
Top 3dos
Select a literature of your choice and read it thoroughly．If required，you should read it multiple times，before you really frame up the literary review in your mind．While reading，try to assimilate the thoughts and philosophy of the author behind the book and also to analyze all the characters and events described in the literary piece．Start to pen down your literary analysis only when you have a complete understanding of the book，and not before that．
Prepare your write-up based on your understanding of the book．Since you are reviewing the book，your opinion plays an important role here．If you prefer any particular character or any particular instance from the book，then expose that character or the situation in your review，to give it more importance．Also determine your preference with supporting logic．Ultimately it is your understanding of the book，and it can differ from others'viewpoint．But you should stick to your opinion．
Follow a proper format to construct your book review．It should have a proper introduction and a conclusion，other than the usual subject body．Distribute the subject body in chapters and paragraphs，to give a nice，structured look．Also，add a list of reference material at the end of the book．A structured material always carries a good impression and also，it helps the reader to go through the article at ease．
Top 3don'ts
Book reviews are not exactly meant for writing a summary on the books．The objective of writing a book review is to arouse the curiosity in the mind of the readers．If someone mentions everything in the summary then the actual intention is lost．
As mentioned earlier，one should not cross your limit to write a literary review．Do not bring up unnecessary topics to increase the length of the write-up，which is not at all related to the book．The readers want to learn about the book and not something irrelevant．Also，a smart and crisp writing helps to create a positive impression．
You can go through reference books or articles on your subject，before you start preparing your article．But that should be completely with the intention of getting help in your understanding of the book．These reference items will help to strengthen your grip on the subject．But，you should never copy a single line of text from any other document or write-up．Plagiarism（剽窃），in any form，is a punishable offence by law．It will also destroy your reputation and close all the future avenues in this field．
If you can follow the above dos and don'ts religiously to write a book review，then it is going to be more original and interesting．

70．Which of the following words is closest in meaning to the underlined word"assimilate"in paragraph 2？C
A．stimulate B．fertilize C．digest D．enhance
71．The purpose of writing a review on a book isD．
A．to show your understanding of the thoughts and philosophy of the author behind the book
B．to show that you really stick to your own opinion though you've read the book
C．to arouse readers'curiosity to read more books on irrelevant topics
D．to spark readers'interests in finding the book and reading it
72．Which of the following is NOT true about the"dos"？B
A．Before writing a book review，you'd better read it thoroughly or many times．
B．Write down your literary analysis when reading the book．
C．If you are interested in certain situation in the book，you can hardly give it too much importance in your review．
D．A good review consists of a proper introduction and a conclusion，as well as a nice-structured subject body．
73．The following statements are"don'ts"when writing a summary exceptA．
A．going through reference books or articles on your subject，before you start preparing your article
B．presenting all the detailed description of the book in the summary
C．the thought or action of putting anything irrelevant to the book into the summary
D．any forms of copying the text from others'written work．
