from place to place by people on foot or by horse. It 31 days, weeks and sometimes months for people to receive news. Now it is possible to send words and pictures around the world in seconds. Billions of people learn about news stories of their own country 32 the other countries every day, either by watching TV or reading newspapers.

Newspapers have been an important part of 33 life since the 18th century. Many countries have hundreds of 34 newspapers. How do newspaper editors 35 which news stories to print? Why do they print some stories and not 36 ? What makes a good newspaper story?

Firstly, it is important to report new stories. TV stations can report news much 37 than newspapers. Yet, newspapers give more about the same story. They may also 38 the story in another way, or they may print completely different stories from those on TV.

Secondly, a news story has to be interesting and unusual. People don’t want to read stories about everyday life. 39 ,many stories are about some kind of danger and seem to be “bad” news. For example, newspapers 40 print stories about planes landing safely, 41 they print stories about plane accident.

Another factor（因素） is also very important in many news stories. Many people are interested in news in 42 countries, but more 43 to read stories about people, places and events in their own country. 44 the stories on the front page in

Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The building next door was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met, yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading.

After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, “I wonder why that woman doesn’t wash her window. It really looks terrible.”

One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window on the inside.

Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible. Her window was clean!

Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.

That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings?

Since then, whenever I wanted to judge someone, I asked myself first, “Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?”

Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly.

How many of us would temp(做临时工)for three years while we waited for the perfect job? Not many of us, perhaps. But Wentworth Miller, the Prison Break star, said he chose to wait even longer time until he found the right job.

2011年蜀光高中自主招生英语第11页（共25页）

“Actually I think it might have been three or four years until I was lucky enough to get guest roles on TV shows,” said Miller, 34, who rose to international fame thanks to Prison Break in 2006. That kind of patience and strong will was showed in Prison Break. Miller plays engineering wizard Michael Scofield, who tries everything to break out of a Chicago prison with his brother.

Miller said he didn’t seem fated(注定的)for a career in the arts, despite his passion for acting. After graduating from Princeton with an English degree, he moved at his parents’ request to Los Angeles to look for a stable life. He started work in a little company that made television movies. This meant simply faxing, walking the boss’ dog and going to the store for the boss’ lunch.

However, Miller realized he still had questions about his choice. He decided to give up the job. But the boss said he was making a mistake and offered him a well－paid assistant position.

“I finally realized that if I did that well－paid job, it would be great if I was successful, but I would always wonder about the acting. If I did the acting and was successful I would never wonder about that job,” he explained. He gave up and temped for many people in the entertainment industry. But now, he’s a hot star. 65、Miller rose to his fame through . A. A Night in the Museum B. Prison

can see . A. acting is more important than money B. Miller was eager to achieve success C. the pay for the job was not high enough D. Miller made a wrong decision

68、The best title for the passage is . A. One has to temp before he gets a role to play B. Where there is will, there is a way C. “Prison” job is just perfect D. Passion for acting

Paul received an automobile from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office, a boy walking around the shiny new car, admiring it. “Is this your car, sir?” he asked.

Then in a little while the boy came back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled(残废的)brother. “There she is , Buddy, just like I told you just now. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t cost him a cent.

American Rivers reports that there are more than 250,000 rivers in the United States. Combined, they flow for more than five and one-half million kilometers.

The largest and most famous river in the United States is the Mississippi. It starts near the northern border of the United States and flows through the center of the country for more than 3,700 kilometers. About 250 smaller rivers flow into the Mississippi. The mouth of the Mississippi empties into the Gulf of Mexico. At that point, more than sixteen million liters of water flows every second.

However, the Missouri River is the longest river in the United States. It flows for about 4,000 kilometers. It begins in the Rocky Mountains of North America. It flows along the

2011年蜀光高中自主招生英语第15页（共25页）

borders of seven states before it empties into the Mississippi River near the city of Saint Louis, Missouri.

Three rivers that join together in the north central state of Montana form the Missouri River. The water is clear there. But, as it moves east and south. the Missouri River turns brown as it collects huge amounts of dirt from the land. That is why many people call the Missouri River “The Big Muddy”.

Some people say the Columbia River in the northwest is the most beautiful river in America. It flows the Canadian province of British Columbia into the United States through the state of Washington. The Columbia River is the largest river that empties into the Pacific Ocean.

Another famous river is the Rio Grande. It is the longest river in the state of Texas. It forms the border between Texas and Mexico.

Finally, the oldest river in the United States is the New River. It begins in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina and flows north through parts of Virginia and West Virginia. The New River also may be the second oldest in the world. It is funny how something so old can be called new. 73．What is the subject discussed in the text?

A. American rivers B. American water resources

C. American fresh water D. American lakes

74．Why is the Missouri river called “The Big muddy”? A. Because it carries sand from the Rocky mountain B. Because t brings a lot of dirt from land into the river

Dear Henry,

I´m glad to receive your letter. It´ s a pleasure for me to tell you my plan of this coming summer vacation after the high school entrance examination.

I want to have a good rest at first, because I have worked hard for a very long time and felt very tired, so having a rest is necessary. I will also sleep a lot and watch TV. I will read some books. As we all know, books are like our best friends and we can learn a lot of knowledge from them. I have also decided to spend some time living with parents, for they have given me so much love and help during mu study. When I was nervous or tired, they talked with me and encouraged me. I think they will be very happy. If possible, I’ll take part in some more about the society.

That´ s my plan. What about yours? Please tell me. Best wishes!

Yours, Li Hua
