第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, “Well, it’s so-and-so’s fault.” or “I know Pm late, but it’s not my fault; the car broke down.” It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.
Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.
This is what being a winner is all about—-creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.” Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.
1、According to the passage，winners ________.
A．deal with problems rather than blame others
B．meet with fewer difficulties in their lives
C．have responsible and able colleagues
D．blame themselves rather than others
2、The underlined word “remedy” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________.
A．avoid B．accept
C．improve D．consider
3、When your colleague brings about a problem, you should ________.
A．find a better way to handle the problem
B．blame him for his lack of responsibility
C．tell him to find the cause of the problem
D．ask a more able colleague for help
4、When problems occur, winners take them as ________.
A．excuses for their failures
B．barriers to greater power
C．challenges to their colleagues
D．chances for self-development
5、Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A．A Winner’s Problem.
B．A Winner’s Secret.
C．A Winner’s Opportunity.
D．A Winner’s Achievement.

B
Recently， a 1935 letter in which Ernest Hemingway detailed his catch of a 500lb blue marlin（青枪鱼）， an adventure that is believed to have partly inspired his novel The Old Man and the Sea， has been sold for﹩28，000 （£22，000）．
The handwritten letter was sent by Hemingway on 8 May to the fishing editor of the Miami Herald， laying out in great detail how the author and his friend Henry Strater battled to keep sharks away from the marlin after catching it off the Bahamian island of Bimini．
Nate D Sanders， the auction（拍卖） company which sold the letter， said it documented for the first time in Hemingway's own words not only the size of the marlin， but also the attack by sharks， reflecting the plot of the novel．
The company added that Hemingway's account of the marlin catch differed from other anecdotes of it， one of which described Hemingway using a machine gun on the sharks， which is said to have attracted more sharks rather than frightened them away．
The Old Man and the Sea was also inspired by an anecdote told by Hemingway's Cuban friend Carlos Gutierrez． In 1936， Hemingway wrote in a magazine that Carlos had told him about an old fisherman who caught a great marlin alone．
Three years later， Hemingway told his editor Max Perkins that he was planning a short story about the old commercial fisherman who fought the swordfish all alone in his sailing boat． Instead， he ended up writing For Whom the Bell Tolls， not returning to the story about the old fisherman until January 1951． It won him the Pulitzer in 1953， and was specifically cited when he was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1954．
1、What does the underlined phrase "laying out" in the second paragraph mean？
A．Discussing．
B．Wondering．
C．Imagining．
D．Presenting．
2、What did the auction company stress when selling the 1935letter？
A．The style of the writer．
B．The history of the letter．
C．The contents of the letter．
D．The popularity of the writer．
3、What inspired Hemingway to write The Old Man and The Sea besides his own adventure？
A．Henry Strater's account．
B．Carlos Gutierrez's story．
C．Max Perkins' life experience．
D．Nate D Sanders' description．
4、Which is the correct order of time for the following facts in the passage？
1Hemingway wrote a letter to describe his adventure．
2Hemingway caught a big blue marlin．
3The letter was sold at auction．
4The Old Man and The Sea won the Nobel Prize．
A．①③②④
B．②①④③
C．②④①③
D．②③①④
