小题1:B考查短语的含义。句意为:半年前,儿子大学毕业,他开始找工作。由于金融危机的缘故,没有几家公词愿意雇佣新的职员。as to 至于,对于; due to 由于;instead of 代替,相反;contrary to 与---相反。由此可知答案应为B。
小题2:C 考查动词词义。 句意为:由于金融危机,很少有公司愿意再雇佣新的职员,由此可知此处应为雇佣的意思。promote vt 提拔,提升;train vt 培训,训练;  employ vt 雇佣;discover vt 发现。故答案应为C。

This year’s World Food Prize will honor two leaders of hunger-fighting groups based  in the United States. The winners are David Beckmann of Bread for the World and Jo Luck of Heifer International. They will share the prize of 250,000 dollars. The World Food Prize usually goes to researchers or top policy officials. This is the first time it will recognize the work of nongovernmental groups.
Heifer International provides donated animals and training to farmers in 50 countries. Jo Luck remains president until next year. Under her leadership, the group’s budget grew from less than 10,000,000 dollars to more than 130,000,000 dollars. Jo Luck, “People pass on their gifts of not just animals but also gifts of training and leadership. We have seen cases where we have been gone 5 and 10 years and we go back and they have developed roads and built schools, and they have other communities receiving the animals and the training. You just give them those resources and that training and opportunity, and you cannot hold them back.” She told the story of a woman from a poor village in Zimbabwe. A family member helped send her to school in the United States with earnings from a donated milk goat. She received a doctoral degree. Jo Luck, “That is what a goat did. That is one example. The animal is only the catalyst(催化剂). That is the beginning of many other things that follow.”
David Beckmann became president of Bread for the World in 1991. He is an economist and a Christian clergyman(牧师). Bread for the World organizes people from religious and non-religious groups to write, call and visit members of Congress(国会). The purpose is to support measures to improve the lives of the poor. David Beckmann points to big increase in American development assistance. He said, “I think that would not have happened without the support of hundreds of thousands of people and churches that are part of Bread for the World and that keep the pressure on their members of Congress.” The prize committee also credited his efforts with helping to increase aid to needy families in the United States.

I made up my mind to drive to South Carolina to meet my friends in my used car. Though I had only been there once   36  and did not know the   37  very well. I was on the   38  after I had made some enquiries.
At Ashvelle, there was a crossroad where I could go on along the main road or I could take a short cut(小道,近路). The short cut was to   39  several hills and was dangerous, I hesitated (犹豫)for a little while and then chose the main road, for I wanted to be   40 .
Something strange happened   41  I drove a long way and found it was not the correct road that I wanted to   42 , but the hilly road I decided to avoid. I realized that it was at the   43  that I had made the   44  mistake. “What shall I do?” I asked myself. If I went back to take that road again, it would be very late by the time I got to Columbia. Thinking it   45  , I decided to go on. “If   46  people can go along this road, why can’t I?” I   47  myself.
The short cut, to my surprise, was not that   48 . In fact, it was only a very peaceful country road,   49  up and down two low   50  .There was   51  traffic. On both sides of the road, you could see trees, wild flowers, and   52  with cows and horses. My fear was   53  with the wind. Listening to the beautiful country music over my car stereo (立体声), I drove on and   54  the scenery which was so quiet and so natural. Even my used car forgot to give me   55 . It was just in this light heartedness that I arrived at my destination. My friends, after they heard what had happened to me, all said it sounded like an adventure.

The year was 1932. Amelia Earhart was flying alone from North America to England in a small single-engined aeroplane. At midnight, several hours after she had left Newfoundland, she ran into bad weather. To make things worse, her altimeter(高度表) failed and she didn’t know how high she was flying. At night, and in a storm, a pilot is in great difficulty without an altimeter. At times, her plane nearly plunged into the sea.
Just before dawn, there was further trouble. Amelia noticed flames coming from the engine. Would she be able to reach land? There was nothing to do except to keep going and to hope.

Pulling heavy suitcases all day in the summer is hard work, especially when you"re a thin 14-year-old.That was me in 1940-the youngest and smallest baggage boy at New York City"s Pennsyl-vania Railway Station.
After just a few days on the job, I began noticing that the other fellows were overcharging passengers. I"d like to join them, thinking, "Everyone else is doing it."
When I got home that night, I told my dad what I wanted to do." You give an honest day"s work," he said, looking at me straight in the eye."  They"re paying you. If they want to do that, you let them do that."
I followed my dad"s advice for the rest of that summer and have lived by his words ever since.
Of all the jobs I"ve had, it was my experience at Pennsylvania Railway Station that has stuck with me. Now I teach my players to have respect for other people and their possessions. Being a member of a team is a totally shared experience. If one person steals, it destroys trust and hurts everyone. I can put up with many things, but not with people who steal. If one of my players were caught stealing, he"d be gone.
Whether you"re on a sports team, in an office or a member of a family, if you can"t trust one another, there"s going to be trouble. 
小题1:What can be inferred about the baggage boys? 
A.They could earn much, but they had to work hard.
B.Many of them earned money in a dishonest way.

小题2:What does the father"s advice imply?
A.It is wrong to give more pay to the passengers.
B.Don"t believe them if they are paying you more.
C.Don"t follow others to overcharge the passengers.
D.It is difficult to work hard and live as an honest boy.

A.it is a totally shared experience
B.it is considered as the most dangerous
C.it does great harm to human relationship

Back in the fifteenth century, in a tiny village near Nuremberg, lived a family with eighteen children.In spite of the hopeless condition, two of the children, Albrecht Durer and Albert, had a dream.They both wanted to pursue their talent for art.After many long discussions, the two boys finally worked out an agreement.They would toss a coin.The loser would go down into the nearby mines and, with his earnings, support his brother who attended the academy.Then, when that brother who won the toss completed his studies, in four years, he would support the other brother at the academy.
Tossing a coin, Albrecht Durer won and went off to Nuremberg.Albert went down into the dangerous mines and, for the next four years, supported his brother, whose work at the academy was almost an immediate sensation(轰动).By the time he graduated, he had earned considerable fees for his outstanding works.
When the young artist returned to his village, the Durer family held a festive dinner to celebrate Albrecht’s triumphant(胜利的)homecoming.Albrecht drank a toast to his beloved brother for the years of sacrifice that had enabled him to complete his dream.“And now, Albert, blessed brother of mine, now it is your turn.Now you can go to Nuremberg to look for your dream, and I will take care of you.”
Tears streaming down his pale face, Albert sobbed, “No...no...It is too late for me.Look...look at what four years in the mines have done to my hands!The bones in every finger have been broken at least once, and lately I have been suffering from arthritis(关节炎)so badly in my right hand that I cannot even hold a glass to return your toast, much less draw delicate lines with a pen or a brush.”
To show thanks to Albert for all that he had sacrificed, Albrecht Durer painstakingly drew his brother’s injured hands with palms together and thin fingers stretched skyward.He called his powerful drawing simply “Hands”, but the entire world almost immediately opened their hearts to his great masterpiece and renamed it “The Praying Hands”.The next time you see a copy of that touching creation, let it be your reminder—no one ever makes any success alone!
小题1:Why did the two brothers work out the agreement?
A.They were so curious as to make a joke.
B.Their family couldn’t afford the academy.
C.One of the brothers was supposed to go into mines.
D.They wanted to support the other sisters and brothers.
