Arthur Miller(1915-2005)is universally recognized as one of the greatest dramatists of the
20th century.Miller`s father had moved to the USA from Austria Hungary, drawn like so many
others by the “Great American Dream” However, he experienced severe financial hardship when
his family business was ruined in the Great Depression of the early l930s.
Miller's most famous play, Death of a Salesman, is a powerful attack on the American system,
with its aggressive way of doing business and its insistence on money and social status as
indicators of worth. In Willy Loman, the hero of the play, we see a man who has got into trouble
with this system. Willy is “burnt out” and in the cruel world of business there is no room for
sentiment : if he can't do the work, then he is no good to his employer, the Wagner Company, and
he must go.Willy is painfully aware of this, and at a loss as to what to do with his lack of success.
He refuses to face the fact that he has failed and kills himself in the end.
When it was first staged in 1949 ,the play was greeted with enthusiastic reviews, and it won
the Tony Award for Best Play, the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award, and the Pulitzer Prize
for Drama.It was the first play to win all three of these major awards.
Miller died of heart failure at his home in Roxbury, Connecticut, on the evening of February
10,2005,the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Death of a Salesman on Broadway.

Last summer, two nineteenth-century cottages were rescued from remote farm fields in
Montana, to be moved to an Art Deco building in San Francisco. The houses were made of wood.
These cottages once housed early settlers as they worked the dry Montana soil; now they hold
Twitter engineers.
The cottages could be an example of the industry’ s odd love affair with “low technology,” a
concept associated with the natural world, and with old-school craftsmanship (手艺) that exists
long before the Internet era. Low technology is not virtual (虚拟的) —so, to take advantage of it,
Internet companies have had to get creative. The rescued wood cottages, fitted by hand in the late
eighteen-hundreds, are an obvious example, but Twitter’s designs lie on the extreme end. Other
companies are using a broader interpretation (阐释) of low technology that focuses on nature.
Amazon is building three glass spheres filled with trees, so that employees can “work and
socialize in a more natural, park-like setting.” At Google’s office, an entire floor is carpeted in
glass. Facebook’s second Menlo Park campus will have a rooftop park with a walking trail.
Olle Lundberg, the founder of Lundberg Design, has worked with many tech companies over
the years. “We have lost the connection to the maker in our lives, and our tech engineers are the
ones who feel impoverished (贫乏的) , because they’re surrounded by the digital world,” he says.
“They’re looking for a way to regain their individual identity, and we’ve found that introducing
real crafts is one way to do that.”
This craft based on theory is rooted in history, William Morris, the English artist and writer,
turned back to pre-industrial arts in the eighteen-sixties, just after the Industrial Revolution. The
Arts and Crafts movement defined itself against machines. “Without creative human occupation,
people became disconnected from life,” Morris said. Research has shown that natural
environments can restore( 恢 复 ) our mental capacities. In Japan, patients are encouraged to
“forest-bathe,” taking walks through woods to lower their blood pressure.
These health benefits apply to the workplace as well. Rachel Kaplvin, a professor of
environmental psychology, has spent years researching the restorative effects of natural
environment. Her research found that workers with access to nature at the office—even simple
views of trees and flowers—felt their jobs were less stressful and more satisfying. If low-tech
offices can potentially nourish the brains and improve the mental health of employees then, fine,
bring on the cottages.
6. The writer mentions the two nineteenth-century cottages to show that ________.
A. Twitter is having a hard time
B. old cottages are in need of protection
C. early settlers once suffered from a dry climate in Montana
D. Internet companies have rediscovered the benefits of low technology
7. Low technology is regarded as something that _______.
A. is related to nature B. is out of date today
C. consumes too much energy D. exists in the virtual world
8. The main idea of Paragraph 5 is that human beings ________.
A. have destroyed many per-industrial arts
B. have a tradition of valuing arts and crafts
C. can become intelligent by learning history
D. can regain their individual identity by using machines
9. The writer’s attitude to “low technology” can best be described as ________.
A. positive B. defensive C. cautious D. doubtful
10. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. Past Glories, Future Dreams
B. The Virtual World, the Real Challenge
C. High-tech Companies, Low-tech Offices
D. The More Craftsmanship, the Less Creativity

What is life's greatest gift? 11 . Choice is the ability to select one course of action
from a set of alternatives to achieve a goal. What is so great about choice? It transforms us from
dumb animals into artists. Each of us becomes another Michelangelo. Choice becomes nothing
other than the tool we use to sculpt(雕刻) our life. The tool doesn't come free,however,for the
price of choice is responsibility. 12 . The reward is happiness.
Life is not still. It is a flow. 13 . We constantly need to monitor where we are on our
journey.We need to ask questions:Am I moving closer to my goals? If not,what corrective
measures can I take? What action will I take now to readjust myself to my goals? Choice is power.
Choice is at the heart of life. It is the creative power of life.
14 . And your life becomes more convenient or comfortable because of them. For
example, you decide which stores to shop at and which gas station to go to. But the decisions that
we make to sculpt our life are far more important than deciding where to shop. The more we
appreciate the difference between minor and major decisions, the greater the probability that we
will experience happiness and fulfillment.
All chess lovers realize that it isn't necessary to win to enjoy the game. The pleasure is in the
playing. Life is like a chess game. 15 .
A.It is free will or choice.
B.You have to make choices every day.
C.Make the best moves you can under the circumstances.
D.But when we accept and carry it out, we get a great return.
E.Every choice we make leads us closer to or farther from our goals.
F.Life is full of hard choices, and the bigger they are, the harder they get.
G.Choose to carry out responsibilities not because you have to, but because you want to.

The Ministry of Education has spared no efforts to bring on IT learning. What is its main
aim? Is it to teach students how to learn the computer or is it meant to change the usual method of
teaching in order to 16 students’ strong interest in computers?
Teaching students computer knowledge and skills is different 17 giving class lessons
through the use of computers. And schools are beginning to pay much attention to using
computers to teach students. There is 18 about the fact that IT learning plays an important
role as a new teaching tool in this day of technology. 19 , views differ on whether the schools
can achieve their targets, as success 20 whether they can make use of computers
effectively.
Let’s take the subject of Chinese as an example and see 21 difficulties the experts face
in their IT management. At present, 20 percent of lessons are given with the help of computers. In
other words, in a period of 10 weeks, a Chinese-language teacher must spend two weeks to teach
the subject 22 .In carrying out such a major policy as IT learning, the experts should know
the 23 that different teachers teaching different subjects have different demands, thus making
it 24 to see the policy through.
Some teachers, having already got some computer knowledge, will still be forced to 25
the training courses with those who have zero knowledge about computer.
Another problem is that new teachers may be sent to work in schools 26 IT learning
has just started. All teachers — including the seniors who are very 27 in teaching, but
who suddenly have no idea what to do when it comes to computers will have to 28 from
the very beginning. They will become 29 and their teaching performances may be badly
affected. The experts have found out how much of each subject is taught by computers in every
school, and have 30 all schools to complete the given work. A hard-pressed teacher may
put the daily teaching 31 or the courses onto the computer just to order the required time
for IT learning and then 32 the usual way. Furthermore, he may leave school work to
his 33 through the computer before class comes to an end in order to “complete” his IT
learning 34 . 35 the teaching of the Chinese language is concerned, do computer
lessons really achieve the desire goals to raise the students’ level of Chinese, pass on common
values and so on? I am not so sure.

a long reading assignment is given, instructors expect students to be familiar with 72

student is considered to be one who is motivated to learn for the sake of learning, not the one
interested only in getting high grades. Sometimes homework is returned 73 brief

(responsibility) for learning the material assigned. When research 75 ( assign), the
professor expects the student to take it actively and to complete it with minimum guidance. It is
the student's responsibility to find books, magazines, and articles in the library. Professors do not

(special) graduate students, to be able to exhaust the reference origins in the library. Professors

Dear friends,
How should deal with the pocket money given to us by our parents or we earned from our
work? Of course we can use it as we like, but I think there are three ways we should employ to
cope with it
First of all ,we should learn to save money by putting it away in a bank and take it out when
we need it most. Then we should use the money to buy the books we want. In this way, we can
enrich ourselves with knowledge Besides, we can spend the money going to the concerts,
watching sports games or collecting stamps to develop our interests or get us into good habits.
In a word ,we should take good care of the pocket money when we have and not waste it on
useless things.
