Part III Reading Comprehension(40%) (35 minutes)
DIRECTIONS: There re four passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions or unfinished statements. For each of them, there are four choices marked A), B), C), D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
Passage One
Questions 33 to 37 are based on the following passage.
There is no greater loss to the world than missing out on your unique contribution because you are afraid to fail.
We all have special gifts and talents. There’s only one thing separating most people from the super successful; it’s looking at your fears and making the decision that your goals are bigger than your fear.
Are fear-based beliefs running your life? Do this exercise. Make 3 columns on a piece of paper. List all your fears in the first column and in the next column write down what’s the worst thing that can happen if they come true and in a third column write down what your solution would be.
The reality is 95% of your fears will never be experienced. And now that you know the worst thing that happen, and how you’re going to resolve it, there’s no reason to live with fear any longer. Make living in the present a way of life and you’re already eliminated a high percentage of worry that leads to experiencing fear.
Every day, ordinary people are realizing their dream because they take actions in the face of their fears. They didn’t wait for all the right contracts or every piece of information. They went for it, and so can you.

Passage Two
Queastions 38 to 42 are based on the following passage
Consumers who illegally download copyrighted films, music or television shows might see their internet speed slowed or access restricted under an industry anti-piracy(反盗版)effort announced on Thursday.
US internet service providers agreed to warn customers by e-mails or pop-up messages , up to six times, when it appears their account is used for illegal downloading.
If suspected illegal activity continues, the provider might temporarily slow Internet speed or redirect the browser to a specific Web page until the customer contacts the company. The user can seek an independent review of whether they acted legally.
Industry officials said they thought most people would stop copyright violations(侵犯) once they were warned about illegal activity. The warnings also might make parents aware of their children’s activity.
“ we are confident that, once informed that content theft is taking place on their accounts , the great majority of users will take steps to stop it,” said James Assey, executive vice president of the National Cable and Telecommunications Association.
Two consumer groups said the effort had the “ potential to be an important educational vehicle” to help reduce online copyright violation, but voiced concern about the punishments.
The groups said it would be “ wrong to cut off users, even temporarily, based on complaints that have not been tested in court.”
The Obama administration welcomed the industry effort.
“We believe it will have a significant effect on reducing online pirace,” Victoria Espinel, the US intellectual property protection coordinator, wrote on the White House blog.
38.The word “industry”(line2,paragraph 1 )is closest in meaning to .
A)users of illegal downloaded content
B)government agencies

D)two consumer groups
39. The first time a user is suspected of illegal downloading, he will .
A)have to contact the company
B)get six e-mails or messages
C)be warned by the provider
D)have his connection cut off
40. It was believed that in most cases, copyright violation occurred .
A)while children were online
B)as no one had made complaints
C)when users could not stop it
D)without the user knowing it.
41. The consumer groups seemed to hold that since the user’s rights were involved, action should be taken .
A)when decided by the law
B)as a potential punishment
C)on the basis of complaints
D)after education had failed
42.The measure to fight copyright violation by limiting or warning about illegal downloading____.
A)would bring protests from customers B) was strongly supported by all involved
C)might not receive enough support D) appeared to be generally acceptable
Passage Three
Questions 43 to 47 are based on the following passage
Some farmers are having a hard time picking their crops. There are not enough workers to help them with the harvest.
One farmer used to grow peaches, but will soon switch to growing almonds. Peaches require more labor to harvest. They are fragile, and must be picked by hand. Machines would damage the ripe peaches. Then the farmer could not sell them. He is using a bulldozer to remove his peach tress. Then he will plant almond trees in their place.
Almonds are harvested differently. It does not take as many workers to pick them because a machine shakes the almond trees. The almonds fall on the ground and then are gathered up. The farmer does not have to hire many workers to pick the almonds off the trees.
Some farmers think there are two reasons why there is a shortage of farm workers. One reason is that there are a lot of construction jobs in the area. These jobs pay higher wages. Many workers are taking construction jobs instead of picking fruit. Another reason is that it has become more difficult to cross the border from Mexico into California. Many farm workers come from Mexico. Fewer are able to cross the border in order to work on the fruit farms.
One solution might be to allow Mexican workers to work here as guests, which would help them to provide for their family and help farmers harvest their crops.
Farmers say that unless things change, more produce will come from other countries. This is because labor is cheaper in other nations than it is in the United States.
43. According to the passage, peaches are very
A) fragile B) easy to pick
C) sour D) tasty with almonds
44. The farmer who used to grow peaches will switch to growing almonds because
A) peaches require more space to grow B) peaches are more difficult to grow
C) peaches do not sell as well as almonds D) peaches require more labor to harvest
45. To reduce labor, the wok to harvest almonds can be done by
A) a bulldozer B) a fruit farmer
C) a Mexican worker D) a machine
46. Many workers choose to take construction jobs instead of harvesting crops because
A) construction jobs pay higher wages to them
B) more jobs bring more money to their families
C) it is difficult for them to cross the border
D) they feel tired of working on fruit farms
47. Compared to the labor from other countries, labor in the U.S. is
A) better trained B) cheaper
C) less trained D) more expensive
Passage Four
Questions 48 to 52 are based on the following passage.
I had a question from Jessica about the term “personal branding” and whether it was more than an American buzzword (时髦术语). For an answer, I asked Bill Lang, Melbourne-based career development consultant. Bill said that while personal branding originated in the US, it was an effective career tool anyone could use. His explanation of personal branding is as follows.
If you are someone who constantly complains and always has problems with other staff, then that becomes your personal branding. Being someone who is great to work with and who comes up with solutions instead of problems is obviously a much better personal brand.
Personal branding is about developing an image of yourself that you want to project in everything you do. It’s not about being fake(作假的) or superficial, but must be about your true values.
Landing(获得) a job, a promotion, a new project or a pay rise depends on good word of mouth about you so it might be time to work on your personal branding. Your personal brand is your reputation, character and personality and how your strategically manage that combination to help your succeed.
To assess and develop your personal brand takes a bit of thought and a commitment(投入) to change if needed. First you need to understand how you current brand is positioned amongst your colleagues. To move from your current positioning, you need to identify the attitudes you need to change and then the behavior needed to make that change.
Once you have identified what needs to change, develop a simple action plan and keep it in mind when carrying out tasks and dealing with colleagues. Your repositioning then starts to take off.
48. The positions given in this passage about personal branding come from_______.
A) Jessica B) the author C) Bill Lang D) an unknown person
49. The definition of personal branding in this passage is ______.
A) being great to work with and coming up with solutions instead of problems.

D) being fake or superficial and appearing different from what you really are.
50. What does the phrase “good word of mouth” (Line 1, paragraph 4) mean?
A) Information passed from one person to another.
B) Respect that people show to a good person.
C) Something good that people say about someone.
D) Ability to communicate with people around.
51. To develop your personal brand among your colleagues, you need to change your______.
A) reputation, character and personality B) attitudes and behavior
C) action plan D) thought and commitment
