There are several reasons for my resignation, but to put it simply, I am just too tired. To do my job well, I need to spend at least ten hours a day at the office, which leaves no time for anything else. Because of this, I have recently accepted a job at Let’s Learn English Inc, where I will be editing textbooks for children. I will be working fewer hours a day, for almost as much money as at Formosa News. This will allow me to pursue (从事) other interests. Regarding(关于) the salary at Formosa News, I feel it is reasonable. However, I believe that the company should consider creating a position for an assistant editor, as this job is really too much for one person. Finally, I would like to thank you for giving me the chance to work at Formosa News. I wish you all the best in the future. Sincerely, Susan A. Wood 21．What is purpose of this letter? A．to apologize. B．to quit a job. C．to ask for a salary rise. D．to apply for a position. 22．What can we learn from the passage? A．Susan’s salary won’t change too much. B．Susan will get the training from the new job. 英语试题 第 4 页 共 10 页 （北京）股份有限公司 C．Susan quits the job for the low salary. D．Susan has to work longer in her new job. 23．What suggestion does Susan make? A．offer classes for employers. B．hire an assistant for the new editor. C．increase the pay for the new editor. D．reduce employees’ working hours. B When we were young, we didn’t know what we would overcome. Growing up, I came across a difficulty I had to be patient to overcome. Then I realized if I continued to let the problem hold me back, my dream could never come true. So I changed my focus. At the age of 13, I fell ill. This illness lasted three years and I missed a lot of schooling. Doctors tried their best to help me, but in the end it was something I just had to be used to. At high school, I had a turning point. I discovered my gift for writing and decided that I wouldn’t let anything hold me back anymore. At that time, I suffered and bottled up a lot to the point where writing became my escape from it all. During my years at college, I had many lessons to catch up on, so I became focused and determined to complete my college courses in three years instead of four due to my illness. At the end of my junior year, I became an honor roll(光荣榜) student. Seeing what I had accomplished, I realized that having disadvantages didn’t mean it was impossible to achieve success. By becoming a writer, I have also become a reader. While performing community service in the library, I would read to those less fortunate or unable to read. From pre-school children to the elderly, I enjoy my time reading to all ages. It’s pleasing to see the awesome expressions on their faces as the words became a vision in their minds. Giving back is one of the greatest gifts I can give in life. It inspires me to write in a way people can learn from. 24．What made the author change at high school? A．The change of his dream. B．The tolerance of his illness. C．The recovery from his illness. D．The discovery of his ability to write. 25．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A．My illness. B．The turning point. C．My schooling. D．The gift for writing. 26．What can we learn from author’s story in Paragraph 3? A．Two heads are better than one. B．He that climbs high falls heavily. C．Hard work pays off. D．A friend in need is a friend indeed. 27．How does the author help others as a reader? 英语试题 第 5 页 共 10 页 （北京）股份有限公司 A．Talking with the elderly. B．Reading to all ages in need. C．Reading more in the library. D．Making great gifts for children C The cultures of the East and the West are really different from each other a lot. This is because the culture systems are two separate ones on the whole. The origin of the Eastern culture is mainly from two countries: China and India. Both of the two cultures are developed by rivers—the Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India. They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles. When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture, another famous culture was up on the Mesopotamian Plain—the Mesopotamian Civilization. This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome. And these two are well-known as the base of the European culture. Like the Chinese culture, the European culture also crossed waters. When the British settled down in America, their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean. So the American culture doesn’t have much difference from the European culture. At the same time, some other differences add to the cultural differences. Take the language system for example. In the East, most languages belong to the pictographic(象形) language while the western languages are mostly based on the Latin system. Other causes like human race differences count as well. But what’s more, due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and the west, the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries. So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no interference from the other. The differences are everywhere. They are obvious and make people’s ways of thinking and their views of the world different. But different cultures make the world of 21st century more colorful. The cultural difference should not be the obstacle( 障碍) to the civilization of human being. It ought to be the driving force of our going farther. 28．What is
