听力原文： When people succeed, it is because of hard work, but luck has a lot to do with it, too. (29) Success without some luck is almost impossible. The French emperor Napoleon said of one of his generals, "I know he's good. But is he lucky？" Napoleon knew that all the hard work and talent in the world can't make up for bad luck. However, hard work can invite good luck.
When it comes to success, luck can mean being in the fight place to meet someone, or having the right skills to get a job done. It might mean turning down an offer and then having a better offer come along. Nothing can replace hard work, but (30) working hard also means you're preparing yourself opportunity. Opportunity very often depends on luck.
How many of the great inventions and discoveries came about through a lucky mistake or a lucky chance？ (31) One of the biggest lucky mistakes in history is Columbus' so-called discovery of America. He enriched his sponsors and changed history, but he was really looking for India. However, Columbus' chance discovery wasn't pure luck. It was backed up by years of studying and calculating. He worked hard to prove his theory that the world was round:
People who work hard help make their own luck by being ready opportunity knocks. When it comes to success, hard work and luck are always hand in hand.
(30)
A．Hard work is the most important thing for one's success.
B．Hard work may invite good luck.
C．Good luck plays an important role in one's success,
D．Success has nothing to do with luck.

W: Last year I visited Europe. It was interesting to see the ancient ruins there, too.
M: When I look at our country's history, I begin to sense what a young country the States really is.
W: Yes. There are many countries whose histories were ancient when ours was just beginning.
M: The first English settlers arrived in America about the time the last Chinese dynasty began.
W: I believe one reason America has been able to be so successful in so many aspects is that it had no ancient traditions to bind it down.
M: Why would you say that？ The settlers to America came from countries all over the world and must have brought their traditions with them.
W: Yes, they did and those traditions have enriched the American heritage; however, their purpose in coming to this new country was so they could make a change from the way they were living. Most immigrants to America were penniless. They came here to take advantage of a new way of life.
M: Sometimes I think we ignore the history of the native people encountered here in the Americas, both North and South.
W: Well, that's true. I've noticed, however, that the remains of civilizations in North America don't appear to be as ancient as those found in Mexico or Central and South America.
M: Those civilizations must have been as ancient as what I saw in China. They didn't have an influence on the modern countries, though. Why is that？
W: It's because those were dead civilizations. For some reasons, the traditions from those civilizations did not carry on to the surviving natives of the land.
M: Do you think that's the reason, or is it that the immigrants who exerted authority over the natives were able to suppress their traditions？
W: I would think both are explanations.
(20)
A．Chinese ancient history.
B．European history.
C．American native civilization.
D．American history.

Counting the number of miles traveled done by a product is a strange way of trying to tell the true situation of the environmental damage done by an industry. Most food is transported around the world on container ships that are extremely energy efficient. It should be noted that a ton of butter transported 25 miles in a track product transported hundreds of miles by sea. Besides, the idea of "miles" ignores the amount of fuel used in the production. It is possible to cut down your food miles by buying tomatoes grown in Britain rather than those grown in Ghana; the difference is that the British one will have been raised in heated greenhouses and the Ghanaian ones in the open sun.
What the idea of "food miles" does provide, however, is the chance to cut out Third World Countries from First World food markets. The number of miles traveled by our food should, as I see it, be regarded as a sign of the success of the global trade system, not a sign of damage to the environment.
(33)
A．Because some imported goods cause environmental damage.
B．Because UK wastes a lot of money importing food products.
C．Because people waste energy buying food from other countries.
D．Because growing certain vegetables cause environmental damage.

How to Love the World As It Is？
It struck me recently that a lot of people think they know what's wrong with this world, and it also struck me that they're all wrong.
Seriously-almost every political and religious group, every opinionated person, every publication with an opinion, has said at one time or another what they think is wrong with this world.
So what's really wrong with the world, in my opinion？
Not a thing.
The Prevailing World-view
It seems to be a prevailing world-view that the world is messed up, that there are just a few things wrong with it, and if we could only get those things to change, the world would be great. If we could just educate people and get them to realize what's wrong with this world, things could change.
This type of view of the world-and like I said, I think it's the prevailing view-stems from an ideal that many people have in their heads of what the world should be like. They might not realize they have that ideal, but it's there. And the world will never reach this Platonic ideal, because it's just this image of perfection that does not match reality. Reality and this ideal are incompatible.
So What's Wrong with That？
Nothing's wrong with that, actually. That's how most people are, and I don't think I can change that, nor would I want to. I thought it would be an interesting discussion, though, because I think this discrepancy between what people think the world should be and what the world really is can cause unhappiness.
If you want the world to be completely vegetarian and kind to animals, and it isn't and won't be in the foreseeable future, you will most likely be unhappy. If you want the world to go back to how it was during your childhood, or during your parents' generation, and it isn't likely to do so, you're not going to be happy.
The same is true of any of our ideals. It's very possible that the reality of the people in your life don't meet these ideals. That might cause you to be unhappy with them.
When reality doesn't meet ideals-and it rarely does-we become unhappy.
So What's the Alternative？
I'm not proposing that you, or anyone else, change your world-view. If you, or anyone else, are happy with that world-view, don't change it.
But there is an alternative, and I'm not saying it's better. It's the world-view I try to have: instead of having an ideal, stop looking for perfection. Accept the world as it is, and love it for what it is. Accept people as they are, and love them.
What would be the result of this alternative world-view？ Well, I think you'd be happier, if only because you didn't see the world as a fundamentally flawed or evil place, and began to see the good in the world. This, however, is open to individual interpretation, and your own experience is likely to be different than mine.
Does this mean that we should give up on trying to make positive changes in the world？ Should we stop trying to make the world a better place？ No! Don't ever stop trying to do good things! Even if the world is already a good place, we can always find happiness and satisfaction in trying to do good, in trying to make people's lives better.
But what about all the evil and suffering in the world？ Should we accept and love that as well？ That's the toughest part, I think. It's hard to accept that people are dying of diseases and famine and war and murder and abuse, and perhaps impossible to love that aspect of the world. You don't have to love it, but it helps to try to really understand it. Why does this happen？ What are the deeper reasons？ At the heart of the deepest reasons is humanity-we are all flawed creatures in some way, and that's what makes us human and beautiful.

A．The world is in a mess.
B．Humans don't know what's wrong with the world.
C．The world is promising.
D．Humans can't get adjusted to the changing world.

听力原文： An environmental group called the Food Commission is unhappy and disappointed because of the sale of bottled water from Japan. The water as is angrily argued in public, has traveled 10,000 "food miles" before it reaches Western customers. "Transporting water halfway across the world is surely the extremely stupid use of fuel when there is plenty of water in the UK." It is also worried that we are wasting our fuel by buying praums from Indonesia (7,000 food miles) and carrots from South Africa (5,900 food miles).

Passage 6
The U.S. dollar was supposed to be at the end of its rope. Kicking the bucket. A dying symbol of a dying empire. Well, maybe not. The dollar continues to _1_ gloom-and-doom predictions. After a swoon (低迷）last year, the dollar is again enjoying a major _2_. The U.S. dollar index, which measures the dollar’s value against other major currencies, is just off an eight-month high. The main reason behind the dollar’s recovery is actually no real surprise at all. There is no _3_ able to replace the dollar as the world’s No.l currency. What makes currencies so fascinating is that their perceived value is always relative to other currencies. Sure, the U.S. budget deficit is _4_, the government’s debt is increasing, and Wall Street is still repairing itself. But the dollar remains the prettiest of a flock of ugly ducklings. Is any other major industrialized economy _5_ better off than the U.S.？ Not really. Just about the _6_ developed world is suffering with the same problems. That’s why when investors get nervous, they still rush to the good old dollar. The dollar wins because no one else is really in the game. The euro has been exposed as a _7_. Only a few months ago, economists truly believed the euro could _8_ the dollar as the top reserve currency. Now experts are questioning if the euro has a future at all. The Greek debt crisis has _9_ that the euro is only as strong as its weakest link. Maybe over the next 20 or 30 years，the dollar will slowly lose the _10_ status it holds today. That process, however, could well be driven by the appearance of new rivals.
A)fraud
B)consistently
C)dominant
D)expanding
E)entire
F)incentive
G)rival
H)alleged
I)defy
J)particularly
K)alternative
L)relative

第11题
Knowing that the furniture and the carpets were fire-resistant, I figured that everything wasn't going to burn. Then I heard someone yell that the stairwells were gone. So about 40 of us escaped into a corner office. We put papers and rags under the door to keep out the smoke as best we could. We stayed calmly in the office for about 10 minutes, thinking we were safe and secure. Then someone came in to tell us that he had found a stairwell open but we had to move fast. We all filed out orderly and headed for the stairwell. However, I later found out that the man who found the stairwell for us didn't make it out of the building safely.
Going down the stairs was not easy for me for I had lost a leg due to cancer when I was 16 and wore an artificial limb. More or less, I used my arms to get down.
At the 78th floor, I noticed one of my friends, Tony, stuck in the elevator. We ran over to the elevator to try to pull open the door. I never tried harder to do anything in my life, but, without tools, we couldn't get it open. Tony insisted that we should get out. Reluctantly we left him there. Tony was among the missing.
When we reached the 40th floor, we came to a complete stop. There was a jam of people. The firemen were coming up the stairs, carrying their equipment. Some 100 firefighters must have walked past us. Some of them looked so young that they seemed hardly out of high school. But they were great, assuring us that they would take care of everything. Eventually we kept moving and got out.
The journey down took about 40 minutes.

A．The 88th floor, north tower.
B．The 78th floor, north tower.
C．The 88th floor, south tower.
D．The 78th floor, south tower.
