What do you see from a handful of seeds? Some see green plants, some see bloomin
题型：不详难度：来源：
Eight students from No 2 Secondary School Attached to East China Normal University started a virtual（虚拟的）company selling different seeds and seed products. They successfully sold 28 pictures pasted with different seeds at a campus auction（拍卖）a week ago. The company, which has recruited around 20 student staff members, has earned over 2000 yuan in the past three months.
“We donated part of the money to a poor school in the countryside of Anhui Province. It"s great to realize our ideal of ‘spreading love and culture with seeds’ after many tests and lots of hard work，” said Senior 2 Shi Chen, CEO of the company.
Just like any other company, Shi"s didn"t develop smoothly. Shi and her young colleagues（同事）used to sell fresh flowers and old books, and later found seeds might be something that their company could engage in. They bought seeds of various plants and flowers at low prices from a local farm and sold them in schools or on streets. The creative students also made accessories and pictures with different seeds.
With little business knowledge, the students had to learn new skills as the leaders of different departments, such as public relations （PR）, sales and marketing. They persuaded a joint Sino-French company near their school to give them training in business management.
“They helped us overcome our shyness. We also learned quite a lot of business theory. I found communication skills and teamwork are very important for my job” said Senior 1 Qian Yifei.
The 16-year-old was elected as PR manager thanks to her talent for speaking. She is also in charge of after sales service, dealing with complaints and providing suggestions.
As the head of the company, CEO Shi has a lot more to think about. First of all, she has to learn how to make her colleagues work efficiently（高效地） as the company only opens at weekends due to all their studies.
“It makes the company more formal，” she said.
小题1:The purpose of opening the company is to .
| A．earn money for their education fees. |
| B．spread love and culture with seeds. |
| C．see whether they can open a company. |
| D．collect money to open a Hope School. |

Roebling couldn’t 38 the vision in his mind of this bridge. He knew deep in his heart it could be done. He just had to 39 the dream with someone else. After much persuasion he managed to 40 his son Washington，a young engineer，that the bridge 41 could be built.
Working together，the father and son developed concepts of 42 it could be accomplished and how the difficulties could be 43 . With great 44 and inspiration，they hired their crew and began to build their dream bridge.
The project started well，but unfortunately an accident took the life of John. Washington was injured and left with a brain damage， 45 him not being able to walk or talk or even move.
Everyone had a 46 comment to make and felt the project should be trashed. In 47 of his disability，Washington still had a burning 48 to complete the bridge and his mind was still as 49 as ever.
He tried to pass on his 50 to some of his friends. Suddenly an idea 51 him as he lay in hospital. All he could do was move one finger and he decided to make the best 52 of it. By moving this，he slowly developed a code of communication with his wife. He used the method of tapping her arm to tell the engineers what to do. It seemed foolish 53 the project was under way again.
For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions with his finger on his wife’s arm，until the Brooklyn Bridge was finally completed.
Perhaps this is one of the best examples of a never-say-die 54 that overcomes a terrible physical handicap and 55 an impossible goal.

Since the Music Clubhouse opened three years ago，it’s served almost 500 kids.Aggeler says performing in front of different audiences helps the young musicians build self-esteem.Coming to the club to prepare for those performances helps them learn how to deal with their personal problems and concerns.
“I can see what it does for them and it just develops confidence，”he explains.“It’s also an escape from the big problems we have in the neighborhood. So whether they feel embarrassed about a zit on their face，or they feel embarrassed because they’re not as tall as somebody，they can rap about it and let it out a little bit.”
To expand the club and help more kids learn music，Aggeler sought the support of the community. The Berklee College of Music and local music stores have provided free equipment. The club has also gotten support from the Music and Youth Initiative，a nonprofit that develops after school music education programs in underserved communities in Massachusetts. All these have made it possible to provide kids who may not have the means to get private music lessons the opportunity to still learn music and get all the benefits that music education brings.”

ayBorn into a Chinese family that had recently arrived in California, I"ve been giving more thought to the kind of English my mother speaks. Like others, I have described it to people as "broken" English. But I feel embarrassed to say that. It has always bothered me that I can think of no way to describe it other than "broken", as if it were damaged and needed to be fixed, as if it lacked certain wholeness. I"ve heard other terms used, "limited English," for example. But they seem just as bad, as if everything is limited, including people"s perceptions(认识) of the limited English speaker.
I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mother"s "limited" English limited my perception of her. I was ashamed of her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is, because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect. And I had plenty of evidence to support me: the fact that people in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.
I started writing fiction in 1985. And for reasons I won"t get into today, I began to write stories using all the Englishes I grew up with: the English she used with me, which for a lack of a better term might be described as "broken", and what I imagine to be her translation of her Chinese, her internal (内在的) language, and for that I sought to preserve the essence, but neither an English nor a Chinese structure: I wanted to catch what language ability tests can never show; her intention, her feelings, the rhythms of her speech and the nature of her thoughts.
46. 小题1:By saying "Language is the tool of my trade", the author means that ______.
| A．she uses English in foreign trade | B．she is fascinated by languages |
| C．she works as a translator | D．she is a writer by profession |
| A．impolite | B．amusing | C．imperfect | D．practical |
| A．Americans do not understand broken English. |
| B．The author"s mother was not respected sometimes. |
| C．The author" mother had positive influence on her. |
| D．Broken English always reflects imperfect thoughts. |
| A．well structured | B．in the old style |
| C．easy to translate | D．rich in meaning |
| A．The changes of the author"s attitude to her mother"s English. |
| B．The limitation of the author"s perception of her mother. |
| C．The author"s misunderstanding of "limited" English. |
| D．The author"s experiences of using broken English. |
