閱讀理解

　　Ed Viesturs grew up in Rockford, Illinois, where the tallest thing on the horizon was the water tower．But on Thursday, Viesturs became the only American to climb to the top of the world's 14 highest mountains．

　　His last hike was up Mount Annapurna, in Asia's snowcapped Himalayas．At 26,545 feet, its peak is the 10th highest in the world．It is the mountain that inspired him to start climbing．

　　"It tends to be the trickiest, the most dangerous," said Viesturs．"There's no simple way to climb it．There are threatening avalanches(雪崩)and ice falls that protect the mountain．"

　　In high school, Viesturs read French climber Maurice Herzog's tale of climbing the icy AnnapurnA．Herzog's story was of frostbite(凍傷)and difficulty and near-death experiences．Viesturs was hooked right away．

　　Viesturs got his start on Washington's Mount Rainier in 1977, guiding hikes in the summer．Fifteen years ago, he set out to walk up to the world's highest peaks．Finally, he's done．

　　The pioneering climber talks about mountains as if they were living creatures that should be treated with respect．"You have to use all of your senses, all of your abilities to see if the mountain will let you climb it," said Viesturs．"If we have the patience and the respect, and if we're here at the right time, under the right circumstances, they allow us to go up, and allow us to come down．"

　　What's next for a man who can't stop climbing?"I'm going to hug my wife and kids and kind of kick back and enjoy the summer," says Viesturs．But for a man who's climbed the world's 14 tallest mountains, he will probably soon set off on yet another adventure．

　　The technology is great．Without it we wouldn't have been able to put a man on the moon, explore the ocean's depths or eat microwave sausages．Computers have revolutionized our lives and they have the power to educate and pass on knowledge．But sometimes this power can create more problems than it solves．

　　Every doctor has had to try their best to calm down patients who've come into their surgery waving an Internet print-out, convinced that they have some rare incurable disease, say, throat cancer．The truth is usually far more ordinary, though：they don't have throat cancer, and it's just that their throats are swollen．Being a graduate of the Internet “school” of medicine does not guarantee accurate self-health-checks．

　　One day Mrs．Almond came to my hospital after feeling faint at work．While I took her blood sample and tried to find out what was wrong, she said calmly, “I know what's wrong; I've got throat cancer．I know there's nothing you doctors can do about it and I've just got to wait until the day comes．”

　　As a matter of routine I ordered a chest X-ray．I looked at it and the blood results an hour later．Something wasn't right．“Did your local doctor do an X-ray?” I asked．“Oh, I haven't been to the doctor for years,” she replied．“I read about it on a website and the symptoms fitted, so I knew that's what I had．”

　　However, some of her symptoms, like the severe cough and weight loss, didn't fit with it－but she'd just ignored this．

　　I looked at the X-ray again, and more tests confirmed it wasn't the cancer but tuberculosis(肺結核)－something that most certainly did need treating, and could be deadly．She was lucky we caught it when we did．

　　Mrs．Almond went pale when I explained she would have to be on treatment for the next six months to ensure that she was fully recovered．It was certainly a lesson for her．“I'm so embarrassed,” she said, shaking her head, as I explained that all the people she had come into close contact with would have to be found out and tested．She listed up to about 20, and then I went to my office to type up my notes．Unexpectedly, the computer was not working, so I had to wait until someone from the IT department came to fix it．Typical．Maybe I should have a microwave sausage while I waited?

(1)

Mrs．Almond talked about her illness calmly because ________．

[　　]

A．

she thought she knew it well

B．

she had purchased medicine online

C．

she graduated from a medical school

D．

she had been treated by local doctors

(2)

It was lucky for Mrs．Almond ________．

[　　]

A．

to have contacted many friends

B．

to have recovered in a short time

C．

to have her assumption confirmed

D．

to have her disease identified in time

(3)

Mrs．Almond said “I'm so embarrassed”(Para．7)because ________．

[　　]

A．

she had distrusted her close friends

B．

she had caused unnecessary trouble

C．

she had to refuse the doctor's advice

D．

she had to tell the truth to the doctor

(4)

By mentioning the breakdown of the computer, the author probably wants to prove ________．

[　　]

A．

it's a must to take a break at work

B．

it's vital to believe in IT professionals

C．

it's unwise to simply rely on technology

D．

it's a danger to work long hours on computers

As De Witt Wallace lay in bed recovering from injuries that he unfortunately came by in World War I, he found there was a wealth of interesting information to read. Realizing few people would have the time to get through all this information, he knew exactly what to do. In 1920, this young American submitted a sample magazine containing shortened articles to publishers across America. However, all turned him down.

     Undeterred, De Witt and his new bride Lila Bell Acheson published the first issue of Reader’s Digest in February 1922. Working from home, the Wallaces printed 5,000 copies, which were sold by mail to 1,500 people and priced at 25 cents. From these humble beginnings grew the world’s most widely–read magazine.

     The magazine became popular and, by 1935, sales topped one million. In 1938, the first international edition was published in the United Kingdom. During World War Ⅱ, editions were published for the first time in Latin America and Sweden. After the war Reader’s Digest moved into Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, South Africa and Switzerland. In 1950, Reader’s Digest published its shortened Books (now known as Select Editions in Australia). In 1959, music, the first non–print product line, was introduced. In 1962, Reader’s Digest revolutionized direct mail by introducing easy–to–enter Sweepstakes and a year later the first Reader’s Digest general book was published. In 1986, video was added to the Reader’s Digest product line.

   In 1973, the Wallaces gave up active management of Reader’s Digest. De Witt died in 1981, aged 91; Lila in 1984, aged 94. With no heirs(繼承人) to the Wallace empire to take control, Reader’s Digest became a public company in the early 1990s and is now headed by a Chief Executive Office and Chairman of the Board.

What is the purpose of De Witt Wallace creating the earliest magazine?

       A．To become wealthy.            B．To offer people information.

       C．To heal the wounds from the war.   D. To turn down uninteresting stories.

When did De Will make his first trial of the magazine?

       A．Before World War I.   B．In 1920.   C．In 1922.   D．In 1935.

What is mainly talked about in the first two paragraphs?

     a．The Select Edition came out.

       b．The Wallaces retired from the management of Reader’s Digest.

       c．The magazine sold over million copies.

       d．The product line was improved by means of videos.

       A．c — e — a — b — d                    B．e — a — c — b — d

       C．c — e — a — d — b                    D．a(chǎn) — c — e — d — b

I once had my Chinese MBA students brainstorming on “two-hour business plans”. I separated them into six groups and gave them an example: a restaurant chain. The more original their idea, the better, I said. Finally, five of the six groups presented plans for restaurant chains. The sixth proposed a catering(餐飲) service. Though I admitted the time limit had been difficult, I expressed my disappointment.
My students were middle managers, financial analysts and financiers from state-owned enterprises and global companies. They were not without talent or opinions, but they had been shaped by an educational system that rarely stressed or rewarded critical thinking or inventiveness. The scene I just described came in different forms during my two years’ teaching at the school. Papers were often copied from the Web and the Harvard Business Review. Case study debates were written up and just memorized. Students frequently said that copying is a superior business strategy, better than inventing and creating.
In China, every product you can imagine has been made and sold. But so few well-developed marketing and management minds have been raised that it will be a long time before most people in the world can name a Chinese brand.
With this problem in mind, partnerships with institutions like Yale and MIT have been established. And then there’s the “thousand-talent scheme”: this new government program is intended to improve technological modernization by attracting top foreign-trained scientists to the mainland with big money. But there are worries about China’s research environment. It's hardly known for producing independent thinking and openness, and even big salary offers may not be attractive enough to overcome this.
At last, for China, becoming a major world creator is not just about setting up partnerships with top Western universities. Nor is it about gathering a group of well-educated people and telling them to think creatively. It’s about establishing a rich learning environment for young minds. It’s not that simple.
【小題1】Which of the following scenes is NOT considered as lack of creation?

A．Papers were often downloaded from the Internet.
B．Students often said that copying is a preferable business strategy.
C．Case study debates were written up as well as recited.
D．Students combine knowledge and critical thoughts to solve a problem.
【小題2】The underlined word “scheme” in the forth paragraph means         .
A．timetableB．themeC．projectD．policy
【小題3】We can infer from the passage that ___________.
A．China can make and sell any product all over the world
B．high pay may not solve the problem of China’s research environment
C．cooperation with institutions has been set up to make a Chinese brand
D．the new government program are aimed at encouraging imagination
【小題4】Which is the best title of the passage?
A．Look for a New Way of LearningB．Reward Creative Thinking
C．How to Become a CreatorD．Establish a Technical Environment
