known for its high-end fashions and style．I introduced myself to Sylvia Agins，telling her 1

Writing about poetry is very similar to writing about a story or research you have conduc-
ted .The first thing you have to do to write an essay about a poem is to read the poem Very
carefully and read it more than once．
Each poem says something，so try to figure out what the poem is saying to You .What ’s
the theme of the poem ?What’s the attitude of the speaker of the poem ?How does the poem
use words and sounds to communicate its message ?When you answer these questions，it can
help you come up with a thesis(论题)for your essay·
It，s necessary to have a thesis statement written before you start writing your essay，es-
pecially when you’re writing about a poem． Your thesis should make an argument about the
poem you're dealing with． You might want to argue that the poem is presenting a specific
message，or that the words in the poem work together to create a certain tone. You may even
want to argue that the poet wrote this particular poem because of a specific moment in history
or a specific event in his or her life．The possibilities are
infinite . As long as you can use evi-
dence from the poem and from your research about the poem or poet ,your thesis 1s correct．
Before you even start writing， read the poem again once you have your thesis· At this
point，you’U be able to read the poem with new eyes since you know what you’ll be writing
about． Go through the poem with a fine-toothed comb and pick out everything that supports
your thesis．When you find quotes you want to use，write them down In an outline of the main
points of your essay．This will help keep you organized．When you write a quote down, be
sure to cite(引用)it correctly．Depending on the text of your essay, you may or may not
want to include the poet’s name in your quote． Once you have everything ready to go，You are
all set to write your essay．
60．The passage mainly talks about________

Alexi s Vaughan，17，sat tiredly in the passenger seat of her dad’s car．The early Satur-
day morning run with her father，Michael，was part of the punishment．She stared sadly out
of the window at the cornfields．
An experienced hunter，Alexis let her eyes lazily search for wildlife．She was shocked
when a deer came into view about 200 yards in front of them．Mule deer never appeared in
plain sight ten days before hunting season．It was a buck—a male deer with sharp，three-
pronged antlers（三齿鹿角）．
Suddenly Alexis heard a scream and saw an arm fly up near the deer’s head．She realized
the buck was attacking a woman．Sue Panter had been Out for her morning run．The deer had
appeared from the tall corn and begun following her．Having lived in the countryside of Idaho
for years，Sue knew that most deer got frightened by humans．But this deer moved closer，
even when she threw a handful of small stones at it．
“I knew I was in trouble，”she says．
The buck rushed forward，lifted her up with its antlers and threw her into the air. Sue
could feel the antlers made small holes in her leg and blood ran down her leg.
When the Vaughans pulled up，the buck was throwing Sue like a rag doll. Before her fa-
ther had stopped the car，Alexis rushed out of the car and down the slope（斜坡）toward the
buck．“1 was kicking and hitting it hard with my fists to get its attention so that It will leave
the woman，”she says．However，the animal was not frightened at all．Then Michael pushed
the buck away from the woman by the antlers．
Alexis helped Sue up the slope and into the Vaughans’car．Then she tied a tourniquet
（止血带）to Sue's right leg．Her neck was cut．Then she heard her father shout loudly. Mi-
chael had been knocked to the ground，his right leg seriously cut by the buck. Alexis took a
hammer from the car and ran to where Michael lay on his back in the dirt．She beat the buck’s
head and neck，but the blows didn’t frighten it away．“I was losing faith,”she says.
“A couple more strikes，Alexis，”said Michael．“You can do it．”Alexis closed her eyes
and hit with all her strength at the deer’s neck with the hammer. When she opened her eyes,
the deer was running away．
A1exis got in the driver’s seat and sped toward the hospital in Franklin，hearing her dad’s
breathing grow difficuIt and unsmooth as the blood from his wounded leg had flowed through
the T—shirt he'd wrapped around it．In the backseat，Sue looked unconscious.
After doctors treated Sue and Michael，Sue tearfully thanked her rescuers．“ You expect a
Teenage girl to get on the phone and call for help in such a situation, not to beat up a deer
she says．
67．What can we know from the first two paragraphs?
A．The story happened during hunting season.
B．It is unusual to see mule deer at this time of year．
C．The beautiful sight outside the car made Alexis excited．
D．Alexis enjoys running with her father on Saturday morning.

70．What was wrong with Michael after fighting with the deer?

It is pretty much a one-way street．While it may“be common for university researchers to
try their luck in the commercial world，there is very little traffic in the opposite direction．Pay
has always been the biggest
deterrent，as people with families often feel they cannot afford the
drop in salary when moving to a university job．For some industrial scientists，however, the
attractions of academia（学术界）outweigh any financial considerations．
Helen Lee took a 70％cut in salary when she moved from a senior post in Abbott Labora-
tories to a medical department at the University of Cambridge．Her main reason for returning
to academia halfway was to take advantage of the greater freedom to choose research ques-
tions．Some areas of research have few chances of a commercial return，and Lee’s is one of
them．
The powerful effect of a salary cut is probably less severe for a scientist in the early stages
of an occupation．Guy Grant，now a research associate at the Unilever Centre for Molecular
Informatics at the University of Cambridge，spent two years working for a medicine company
before returning to university as a post-doctoral researcher．He took a 30％salary cut but felt
it worthwhile for the greater intellectual opportunities．
Higher up the ladder，where a pay cut is usually more significant，the demand for scien-
tists with a wealth of experience in industry is forcing universities to make the transition（转
换）to academia more attractive，according to Lee．Industrial scientists tend to receive training
that academics do not，such as how to build a multidisciplinary team，manage budgets and
negotiate contracts（合同）．They are also well placed to bring something extra to the teaching
side of an academic role that will help students get a job when they graduate，says Lee，per-
haps experience in manufacturing practice or product development．“Only a small number of
undergraduates will continue in an academic occupation．So someone leaving university who
already has the skills needed to work in an industrial lab has far more potential in the job mar-
ket than someone who has spent a11 their time on a narrow research project．”
72．The underlined word“deterrent”in Paragraph 1 most probably refers to something that
A．helps to move the traffic B．attracts people’s attention
C．keeps someone from taking action D．brings someone a financtal burden
73．What was Helen Lee’s major consideration when she changed her j ob halfway?
A．Flexible work hours． B．Her research interests．
C．Chances of academic accomplishments D．Her preference for the lifestyle at university
74．Why did Guy Grant choose to work as a researcher at Cambridge?
A．To do financially more rewarding work．
B．To raise his status in the academic world．
C．To enjoy better intellectual opportunities．
D．To gain more experience in medical research．
75．What contribution can industrial scientists make when they come to teach in a university?
A．Suit its research to practical applications．
B．Develop its students’potential in research．
C．Help it obtain financial support from industry．
D．Increase its graduates’competitiveness in the j ob market．

Mary Smith is studying psychology at New York University. She was once a waitress working at Top Club in New York for a few weeks.
One day, Jack Williams, an English businessman, came to the club. He happened to be interested in psychology and he talked a lot with Mary. Finally he gave her a check for $10,000 to pay for her last year of college, which was really a big tip for her.?
Mary described Mr Williams as “a nice English gentleman” and told the story again and again on television in the US. Unfortunately, Mary’s bank wouldn’t pay the money because Mr Williams didn’t have $10,000 in the bank and he didn’t even remember giving the tip at all.?
But there was a happy ending to the story. Top Club in New York was so pleased that the club’s name was in every newspaper in Britain and the United States and the boss of the club gave Mary the $10,000 to pay for her last year at New York University.?

One possible version:
Many people fail in life because they do not realize how close they are to success when they give up.
In this picture, we can see a man is cutting earth in a tunnel, hoping to find some diamonds. He makes great efforts in his work. However, after a long time of pains without gains, he decides to give up. With one or two more attempts of cutting, he would have seen those diamonds right in front of him.
This story tells us a very simple but important piece of truth: we should be confident in what we have chosen to do and never stop our efforts until we succeed.
As a student preparing for the entrance examinations, I should learn a lesson from the man. Just like the diamonds in the picture, success is just waiting for my last efforts. I have been cutting earth for so many years, so I will never give up before I succeed.
