這個是有文化背景的，根據整個故事情節來講，由於有了這句話寫在摩托車座椅專背面，而屬使這輛舊車價值不菲，遠超出3000美元的價值。你可以網路下 James Dean，此人是詹姆斯·迪恩（JamesByronDean），（1931年2月8日－1955年9月30日），著名美國電影演員，此人被譽為50年代美國最偉大的男演員。在世時喜歡騎摩托車參加各種賽車比賽。

Born To Win
Each human being is born as something new, something that never existed before. He is with what he needs to win at life. Each person in his own way can see, hear, touch, taste, and think for himself. Each can be a significant, thinking, aware, and creatively proctive person in his own right-a winner.
Winners have different potentials. Achievement is not the most important thing. Authenticity is. The authentic person experiences the reality of himself by knowing himself, being himself, and becoming a credible, responsive person. He actualizes his own unprecedented uniqueness and appreciates the uniqueness of others.
A winner is not afraid to do his own thinking and his own knowledge. He can separate facts from opinion and doesn』t pretend to have all the answers. He listens to others, evaluates what they say, but comes to his own conclusions. While he can admire and respect other people, he is not totally defined, bound, or awed by them.
A winner can be spontaneous. He doesn』t have to respond in predetermined, rigid ways. He can change is plans when the situation calls for it. A winner has a zest for life. He enjoys work, play, other people, and the world of nature. Without guilt he enjoys the accomplishments. Without envy he enjoys the accomplishments of others.
Although a winner can freely enjoy himself, he can also postpone enjoyment. He can discipline himself in the present to go after what he wants but does so in appropriate ways. He does not get his security by controlling others.
A winner cares about the world and its people. He is not isolated from the general problems of society. He is concerned, compassionate and committed to improving the quality of life. Even in the face of national and international adversity, he does not see himself as totally powerless. He does what he can to make the world a better place.

When Christopher Columbus landed on the then unnamed Costa Rica in 1502, he saw many Indians wearing gold earrings. So he thought the land must be rich in gold. He named the place Costa Rica, which means 「rich coast」 in Spanish. Though little gold was found, Costa Rica today is indeed rich with coffee and bananas. Coffee is the most important proct in Costa Rica and most of it is exported (出口) to other countries like America and West Germany. Bananas are the country』 second most important export. Costa Ricans also grow many other crops such as fruits, corn and beans for their own use. Costa Ricans love colors and their houses are painted in bright colors. Ecation is very important to the Costa Ricans. Almost every village has a school and ecation is a must for children between seven and fourteen years of age. Boys and girls go to separate (單獨的) schools. Classes begin in March and end in November. The other three months of the year are harvest time and the children have to help their parents to pick coffee beans.56. What』s the main idea of the first paragraph?A. How Columbus found Costa Rica.B. How Costa Rica got its name.C. What the Costa Ricans wore. D. What language the Costa Ricans spoke.57. The Costa Ricans may NOT paint their houses ______.A. pink and red B. grey and blackC. blue and green D. yellow and orange58. In Costa Rica, boys and girls between seven and fourteen ______.A. must go to school B. study in the same schoolC. do not have to go to school at allD. can choose to stop schooling at any time59.

This passage is mainly about ______.A. Christopher Columbus B. Costa Rica C. some procts from Costa Rica D. the ecation of Costa RicaB ★ Christian Eijkman, a Dutch doctor, left the Netherlands for the island of Java. Many people on the island had a disease called beri?鄄beri. He was going there to try and find a cure. At first, Eijkman thought some kind of germ (細菌) caused beri?鄄beri. He raised some chickens. He didn』t eat them, but made experiments on them. The local people were quite surprised at that. One day he noticed that his chickens became sick when they were fed the food most Javanese ate — refined white rice (精煉米). When he fed them with unrefined rice, also known as brown rice, they recovered. Eijkman realized that he had made an important discovery — that some things in food could prevent disease. These things were named vitamins (維生素). The Javanese were not getting enough vitamins because they had actually removed the part that contains vitamins. Later, other diseases were also found to be caused by the lack of vitamins in a person』s food. Today many people know the importance of vitamins and they make sure they have enough vitamins from the food they eat. If they don』t, they can also take vitamin pills.61. The underlined word 「cure」 in Paragragh 1 probably means ______.A. a medical treatment B. a kind of vitaminC. a kind of germ D. a kind of rice62. Christian Eijkman went to the island of Java to ______.A. spend his holidayB. find ways to grow better crops C. do some research about the islandD. help the Javanese with their illness63. Why did Christian Eijkman raise some chickens?A. To eat them. B. To carry out his experiments.C. To give the Javanese a surprise. D. To make money by selling them.64. If a person doesn』t get enough vitamins in his diet, he』d better ______.A. eat more rice B. eat more meatC. eat some chicken D. eat vitamin pills65. We can learn from the passage that ______.A. beri?鄄beri was caused by chickensB. the Javanese didn』t like vitaminsC. Christian Eijkman』s experiment was successfulD. the Javanese』s disease was caused by a kind of germC ★★ America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon if situations change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while — then no more. If the same two people meet again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand, because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings, extending (延伸) sometimes deeply into both families. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. They will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality (好客) easily. Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don』t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time. This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time. Sometimes, we, as hosts, will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends. The Americans, however, express their welcome usually at homes, but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine. They will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus. And they expect that we will phone them from there. Once we arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real. We will find ourselves treated hospitably. For the Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants, except for purely business matters. So accept their hospitality at home!66. The writer of this passage must be ______.A. an American B. a ChineseC. a professor D. a student67. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families.B. Friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives.C. Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy.D. Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break.68. From the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend, we will probably be ______.A. warmly welcomed at the airport B. offered a ride to his homeC. treated hospitably at his home D. treated to dinner in a restaurant69. The underlined words 「generous with our time」 in Paragraph 3 probably mean ______. A. strict with time B. serious with timeC. careful with time D. willing to spend time70. A suitable title for this passage would probably be 「______」. A. Friendships between Chinese B. Friendships between AmericansC. Americans』 hospitality D. Americans』 and Chinese』s views of friendshipsD ★★★ The other day I heard a few local musicians talking: 「I hate all the terrible pianos in this town. I hate that rubbish they play on the radio. They can』t even understand a bit of music.」 「I』m never playing in that club again. Too many drunks and nobody listens to us.」 But, one younger musician said, 「There are a few clubs that book my band a few nights a month, and I』m trying to find other places to play. I』m also looking to book a few summer festivals this year.」 I』ve heard that you are the average of the five people whom you spend the most time with, or to put it another way, you are who your friends are. Attitudes are important. Whether they』re positive or negative, they』re rubbing off on you. If you』re around people who complain about lack of work and about other musicians, or blame (責怪) others, and you play the role of victim (受害者), chances are you will start to as well. So it』s time to take a look at the people you call 「friends」. This is an easy exercise: Make a list of the people who you hang out with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. Set a new standard (標准) for yourself and don』t become friends with people who fall below that standard. Keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better. Ask them how they do it. Ask if they will help you get the work you』re looking for, or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path.71. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?A. A friend in need is a friend indeedB. How to make friendship last for everC. You are who your friends areD. Friends are the most important in one』s success72. The underlined sentence 「they』re rubbing off on you」 in Paragraph 6 means ______.A. they』ll push you aheadB. they』ll influence you C. they』ll cover your shortcomingsD. they』ll help you achieve your goal73. The musicians』 words at the beginning are written mainly to show ______.A. the musicians』 living conditions are quite poorB. people have poor taste in musicC. people have different attitudes towards the same thingD. young people have greater chances of succeeding74. By taking the exercise mentioned in Paragraph 7, you can ______.A. improve a lot in making more friendsB. come to the right way of making friends C. develop a better relationship with your friendsD. arrange the time with your friends properly75. The passage is mainly written for ______.A. musicians B. managers C. negative people D. people wanting to succeed 答案56-60 BBACB61-65 ADBDC 66-70 BDCDD 71-75 CBCBD 第三部分： 閱讀理解 （共20小題； 每小題2分，滿分40分）閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項。A ★ Norm Pethrick, a 36-year-old man in Australia』s northern city Darwin, was praised on Thursday for jumping onto a crocodile』s back to save his wife Wendy at Litchfield National Park, a popular tourist spot southwest of Darwin, a local newspaper reported. Ms Pethrick was standing on a river bank Wednesday afternoon when the saltwater crocodile lunged (撲), locking its jaws on both her legs as it tried to drag her underwater. Norm Pethrick, who with his wife had been collecting water, immediately went to help her. He jumped onto the back, poked (戳) the eyes of the crocodile and finally got his wife free. Ms Pethrick was later taken to Royal Darwin Hospital for a medical treatment. The doctors said she was suffering eight puncture wounds (傷口) in her right leg, a puncture wound in her left leg and a serious cut to one of her fingers. 「This could have been a fatal and tragic situation,」 said the general manager of Royal Darwin Hospital (RDH), Dr Len Notaras, according to a local report. He said Ms Pethrick was saved by her husband』s 「quick and diligent actions」. Dr Notaras also said she would remain in hospital for three to four days and have an operation to clean the wounds, which are easy to get infected because of bacteria (細菌) on the teeth of the crocodile.56.

It can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement board. Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses. Or, job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers. Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Web site to buy objects, meet people or find a job. Craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings each month. Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example, students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course, looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do. For example, there is a book called 「What Color is Your Parachute (降落傘)?」 by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a career (職業) since it was first published in nineteen seventy. Some experts also help people find jobs. Susan W. Miller owns a company called California Career Services in Los Angeles. She says her company helps people find jobs by first helping them understand their strengths, goals and interests. Then she provides them with methods and resources to help them find the right job.61. What is the passage mainly about?A. Finding a job. B. College students』 part-time jobs.C. Craigslist Web site. D.

One in every seven human beings can speak it. More than half of the world』s books and three quarters of international mail are in English. Of all languages, English has the largest vocabulary — perhaps as many as two million words. However, let』s face it: English is a crazy language. There is no egg in an eggplant, neither pine nor apple in a pineapple and no ham in a hamburger. Sweet-meats are candy, while sweetbreads, which aren』t sweet, are meat. We take English for granted. But when we explore its paradoxes (探討它的矛盾), we find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square, public bathrooms have no baths in them. And why is it that a writer writes, but fingers don』t fing, grocers don』t groce, and hammers don』t ham? If the plural of tooth is teeth, shouldn』t the plural of booth be beeth? One goose, two geese — so one moose, two meese? How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wise guy are opposites? How can overlook and oversee be opposites, while quite a lot and quite a few are alike? How can the weather be hot as hell one day and cold as hell the next? English was invented by people, not computers, and it reflects (反映) the creativity of human beings. That』s why, when stars are out, they are visible (能看見的); but when the lights are out, they are invisible. And why, when I wind up my watch, I start it; but when I wind up this essay, I end it.71. According to the passage ______. A. sweet-meats and sweetbreads are different thingsB. there should be egg in an eggplantC. pineapples are the apples on the pine treeD. boxing rings should be round72.

The underlined words 「wind up」 in the last paragraph probably mean 「______」.A. blow B. roll up C. get hurt D. finish75.

Even if you are a good high-jumper, you can jump only about seven feet off the ground. You cannot jump any higher because the earth pulls you hard. The pull of the earth is called gravity.
You can easily find out the pull of the earth. If you weigh yourself, you will know how much gravity is pulling you.
Since there is gravity, water runs down hill. When you throw a ball into the air, it falls back down. Because of gravity, you do not fall off the earth as it whirls (旋轉) around.
Then, can we get away from the earth and go far out into space? Now you can do it, because spaceships have been invented. Then spaceship will go so fast that it can escape (逃出) the earth』s gravity and carry you into space.
1. In this passage, the word 「gravity」 means.
A. the pull of everything.
B. the force of attraction(吸引) among objects.
C. the force which attracts objects towards the centre of the earth
D. the force which attracts the earth towards the sun.
2. When you slip(滑) you always fall to the ground because
A. the earth always turns round. B. the earth has gravity

The richest Americans, however, get most of their money from what they own —their stocks, bonds, real estate, and other forms of property, or wealth. Although there are few accurate statistics to go by, wealth in American society appears to be concentrated in very few hands.More than 20 percent of everything that can be privately owned is held by less than one percent of the alt population and more than 75 percent of all wealth is owned by 20 percent of American alts. The plain fact is that most Americans have no wealth at all aside from their homes, automobiles, and a small amount of savings.
譯：然而，最富有的美國人則是從他們所擁有的東西中獲得大多數金錢——他們的股票，債券，不動產以及其他形式的資產或財富。盡管很少有精確的統計數據可以證明，在美國社會中財富似乎只集中在很少的一部分人手中。超過百分之二十的可以被私人所擁有的物品只被少於百分之一的人所擁有，並且超過百分之七十五的財富只被百分之二十的美國人所擁有。這個簡單的事實即是，對於大多數的美國人而言，除了他們的房子，汽車以及少量存款外，他們一無所有。

附：aside from 除 ... 以外
例句:
Our city offer overseas in vesture fair service for proction aside from infrastructure.
我市除了向外國投資者提供基礎設施外，還提供良好的生產服務設施。

Income in the United States is not as highly concentrated as wealth. In 1917 the richest 10 percent of American families received 26.1 percent of all income, while the poorest 10 percent received 17 percent, mainly from Social Security and other government payments.The most striking aspect of income distribution is that it has not changed significantly since the end of World War II. Although economic growth has roughly doubled real disposable (可自由使用的) family income (the money left after taxes and adjusted for inflation) over the last generation, the size of the shares given to the rich and the poor is about the same. By any measure economic inequality is great in the United States.
譯：在美國，收入則並不像財富那樣高度集中。在1917年，最富有的前百分之十的美國家庭擁有百分之二十六點一的收入，而最貧窮的百分之十的家庭則擁有百分之十七的收入，主要來自社會保障以及其他政府所付款項。關於收入分配，最令人震驚的事實是自二戰結束以來，它就沒有發生過大的變化。盡管隨著經濟的增長，與上一代人相比美國家庭的可支配收入（繳納稅收後所剩下的錢，並且除去通貨膨脹所帶來的影響）已經基本翻了一番，但富人與窮人間財富比例的關系卻仍然基本相同。不管通過哪種方法來衡量，在美國貧富差距都是十分嚴重的。

附：striking a.顯著的；惹人注目的

distribution n.分發，分配；散布，分布

roughly adv.粗略地, 大約

In other words, about one out of seven Americans over 31 million people was officially considered unable to buy the basic necessities of food, clothes, and shelter.
譯：換句話說，大約七分之一的美國人即3100萬美國人被官方地認為是沒有能力購買衣食住行等生活必需品的。

By this relative definition, about 20 percent of the population or more than 45 million Americans are poor.
譯：從這個相對定義來看，大約百分之二十的美國人口或者說超過4500萬的美國人是貧窮的。

附：relative adj.相對的, 比較的, 相關的

definition n.定義，釋義
