Ⅲ.阅读理解

A

Juanito Estrella has been a housekeeping manager on the US­based large passenger ship Carnival Spirit for 18 months and feels he has found the suitable position in his career (职业). He has always wanted to travel. “I guess I am a really restless spirit. I like travelling，so when the chance came, I jumped at it，”he says.
The chance came in the form of a newspaper advertisement for work on cruise ships(游船). At the time Estrella was the housekeeping manager at a Melbourne hotel. He applied and, after two interviews, a medical check and police clearance, the job was his.
Estrella is responsible (负责的) for the cleanliness of the ship, making sure that 160 crew work properly. “I enjoy it because there is no other work—you wake up each day in a different place and a different culture. It's exciting when you go to the next country and you don't understand the language.”he says.
Estrella likes being busy and getting to know people from all over the world. The 1,000 crew come from 94 countries, and Estrella has learnt Spanish and a little Croatian.
But there is a downside. “You cannot get really drunk...because you have safety responsibilities to yourself and others.” he says. “You don't really think about home. You start to think about home only when you get closer to your vacation and wonder what you'll be doing.”
Life on the ship is anything but cruising. Estrella and his fellows work at least 10 hours a day，seven days a week. He warns the job is not for everybody. “You have to love being busy and be prepared to work every day—and to give up drinking too much alcohol.”In his spare time，if the ship sails into a port, Estrella explores it otherwise he works out in the crew's gym, goes on the Internet or calls home.

2. The underlined word “downside” in Paragraph 5 probably means________.

B. The work on the ship is not suitable for a married person.
C. Estrella can find no other job except the one on the ship.
D. The people on the ship are from 94 countries.
答案与解析　A　从文章中“You don't really think about home. You start to think about...what you'll be doing.”以及“...work at least 10 hours a day, seven days a week.”可得出A项与原文相符。
4. In the last paragraph, the writer thinks that life on the ship is________.

B
An enterprising person is one who comes across a pile of waste metal and sees the making of a wonderful sculpture. An enterprising person is one who drives through an old part of a town and sees a new housing development. An enterprising person is one who sees opportunities in all areas of life.
To be enterprising is to keep your eyes open and your mind active. It needs to be skilled enough, confident enough, creative enough and disciplined enough to seize opportunities that present themselves.
A person with an enterprising attitude says, “Finding out what you can do before taking action is important.” Do your homework. Do the research. Be prepared. Be resourceful. Do all you can do in preparation of what's to come.
Enterprising people always see the future in the present. Enterprising people always find a way to take advantage of a situation, not to be burdened by it. And enterprising people aren't lazy. They don't wait for opportunities to come to them; they seek opportunities. Enterprise means always finding a way to keep yourself actively working toward your dreams.
Enterprise includes two things. The first is creativity. You need creativity to see what's out there and to shape it to your advantage. You need creativity to look at the world a little differently.
And the second is the courage to be creative. You need courage to see things differently, courage to go against the crowd, courage to take a different idea, and courage to stand alone when you have to.
And lastly, being enterprising doesn't just relate to the ability to make money. Being enterprising also means feeling good enough about yourself, having enough self­worth to want to seek advantages and opportunities that will make a difference in your future. And by doing so you will increase your confidence, your courage, your creativity and your self­worth — your enterprising nature.
5．Who is an enterprising person according to the passage?
A. One who doesn't fear failures and is good at finding opportunities.
B. One who dares to risk his life to cross a very dangerous river.
C. One who always has different opinions from the others.
D. One who tries every means to make as much money as possible.
答案与解析　A　依据文章第一段的最终一句话可知，富有进取心的人往往会找出一切可能的机会，故选A项。
6．If you have an enterprising attitude, you would probably ________.
A. have an active mind and make full preparations for your task
B. find good ways to make yourself relaxed
C. worry about your present situation
D. wait for your chance patiently
答案与解析　A　依据文章其次段的第一句话以及第三段的最终一句话可知，一个具有进取心的人要有乐观的心态，并且为将来作好充分预备，故选A项。
7．The fourth paragraph mainly tells us that ________.
A. enterprising people can tell us what will happen in the future
B. enterprising people are wise enough to seize any chance
C. enterprising people can make good use of the present situation
D. enterprising people never give up their dreams
答案与解析　C　依据文章第四段其次句话中的take advantage of a situation和第四句话中的they seek opportunities可知有进取心的人往往会利用目前的境况，查找机会，所以选C项。
8．Which character does NOT belong to an enterprising person?
A. Confidence. B. Courage.
C. Creativity. D. Carelessness.
答案与解析　D　依据文章其次段、第五段和第六段的内容，可知一个有进取心的人具备的素养应当是自信、有士气和具有制造力。D项表示马虎大意，这个不是有进取心的人的特点，故选D项。
