Part II Reading Comprehension ( 25 minutes )
Section A
Directions: In this section, there is a passage with several blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.
? What drives you to succeed as a creative person? Is it the dream of fame, 11 and recognition? Is the thought of seeing your name up in lights that 12 you out of bed in the morning? Having such a strong and clear goal is a 13 motivator and, if you work hard and pay your dues, you can 14 achieve that goal. However, if you want to be successful without the feeling that you are battling your way through life your motivation to get out of that comfy bed in the morning has to come from somewhere else. There must be an even bigger motivating driver.
To have 15 and want to be successful is a fine thing but it isn't enough. Ambition and want are just words that describe desire. To understand WHY you have such desires is quite another thing. True 16 , true art in any form, comes from passion. Great actors aren't great because of their technique. Anyone can learn technique. They move an audience as great actors because of their passion. Passion is the driver that 17 every bone and breath in your body to achieve.
If your desires are not in alignment with your passion you can be successful but you will not be 18 , satisfied. You will live a rich famous life and still 19 for the elusive thing. You will get up in the morning wondering what is wrong with you. You have all that you desired yet you feel that there is still something missing. You are missing the nourishment that feeds your soul, your heart.
Above all, be true to yourself, and if you cannot put your heart in it, take yourself out of it. Follow your heart, but be quiet for a while first. Ask questions, and then feel the answer. Learn to trust your heart. When work, 20 commitment, and pleasure unite to become one and you reach into that deep well where passion lives, nothing is impossible. Through the experience of devoted passion you will reap richer stores of knowledge than any text-book or course of study can give you. A) wealth E) motivates I) confront M) genius B) passion F) concentrated J) yearn N) definite C) supportive G) propels K) fulfilled O) appropriately D) dedicated H) ambition L) absolutely ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Section B
Directions: There are several passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.
? Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
Like many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship. At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: What is a hero?
Despite immense differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people.
A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell and a community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond mere fame.
Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high-voltage transformers, heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.
The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm, and meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom do they serve? What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes. Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life more abundant?
Heroes are catalysts (催化剂) for change. They have a vision from the mountaintop. They have the skill and the charm to move the masses. They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr., we might still have segregated (隔离的) buses, restaurants, and parks. It may be possible for large-scale changes to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless.

B) probable share some weaknesses of ordinary people该选项共0人选择 C) are often influenced by divvious generations该选项共0人选择 D) all unknowingly attract a large number of fans该选项共0人选择

Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.
Fourteen-year-old Richie Hawley had spent five years studying violin at the Community School of Performing Arts in Los Angeles when he took part in a violin contest. Ninety-two young people were invited to the contest and Hawley came out first.
The contest could have been the perfect setup for fear, worrying about mistakes, and trying to impress the judges. But Hawley says he \mistakes I'd make — it would distract me from playing,\he says. \impress people while I played. It's almost as if they weren't there. I just wanted to make music.\Hawley is a winner. But he didn't become a winner by concentrating on winning. He did it by concentrating on playing well.
\important thing in the Olympic Games is not to win but to take part,\said the founder of the modern Olympics, Pierre de Coubertin. \The essential thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.\
New research shows that Coubertin's philosophy is exactly the path achievers take to win at life's challenging games.
\their competitors or future glory or money\business, science, sports, the arts, and professions. \interested in self development, testing their limits.\
One of the most surprising things about top performers is how many losses they've had — and how much they've learned from each. \kept calling their losses 'setbacks.'\
A healthy attitude toward setbacks is essential to winning, experts agree.
\You should analyze carefully what went wrong, identify specific things you did right and give yourself
