12.Joseph Pulitzer (April 10,1847---October 29,1911)was a Hungarian-American publisher best known for establishing the Pulitzer Prizes after death.
Pulitzer was born in Mako,Hungary.At 17,Pulitzer attempted to join the Austrian army,but was turned down due to age,bad health and poor eyesight.Disappointed but still with hope,he traveled first to Paris and then to London,hoping to join the army there.And he was rejected for the same reasons.Finally,he moved to the United States in 1864and served in the Lincoln Army when he was just 18until the end of the American Civil War.After the war he settled in St.Louis,Missouri,where in 1868he started working as a reporter for a German-language daily newspaper,the Westliche Post.He joined the Republican Party and was elected to the Missouri State Assembly in 1869.
In 1872.Pulitzer bought the Westliche Post for 3,000.Then,in1879,heboughttheSt.LouisDispatchfor2,700and merged (合并) the two papers as the St.Louis Post-Dispatch,which remained St.Louis'daily newspaper.He bought the New York World in 1883,which turned out to be a successful decision,and which made Pulitzer wealthy.In 1885,he was elected to the US House of Representatives,but resigned after a few months'service.In 1895the New York World introduced the first newspaper comic printed with colour.Under Pulitzer's leadership circulation (發(fā)行量) grew from 15,000to 600,000,making it the largest newspaper in the country.But unfortunately from 1890,Pulitzer's already failing health worsened rapidly and he withdrew from direct management of the newspaper,and simply gave some instructions from his vacation houses in Maine or in New York.At the age of forty,he was struck blind,but he still continued to run his press empire for twenty-two more years.
In 1892,Pulitzer offered Columbia University's president money to set up the world's first school of journalism.But the university turned down the offer.In 1902,Columbia's new president willingly accepted the plan for a school and prizes,but it would not be until after Pulitzer's death that this dream would come true.Pulitzer left the university $2million in his will,which led to the creation in 1912of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.And up till now,Columbia's Graduate School of Journalism still remains one of the most famous in the world.
Joseph Pulitzer died aboard his sailing boat in 1911.He was buried in the Woodlawn Cemetery in The Bronx,New York.In 1917,the first Pulitzer Prizes were awarded,as Pulitzer wished to.
In 1989,in honor of his great achievements and contributions,Pulitzer was included in the St.Louis Walk of Fame.

His mother then said,"You know,what we have here is a (47)B experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands.Let's go out in the back yard and (48)A water into the bottle and see if you can discover a way to carry it without (49)B it."The little boy (50)C that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands,he could make it.What a wonderful (51)D!
This renowned scientist then(52)C that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be afraid to make mistakes.Instead,he learned that mistakes were just(53)C for learning something new,which is,after all,what scientific(54)D are all about.Even if the experiment"doesn't work,"we usually learn something (55)A from it.

7.In the days before bootleg(非法銷售)DVDs,anyone who lived in China during the early 1990s will remember how terribly exciting it was when a foreign film was screened ln the cinema.Only 20foreign films a year were allowed to be shown in Chinese cinemas until February 2012.
The US film industry has shown a lot of interest in developing its business in China.The reasons for this are clear. China has a population of over 1.3billion and,with the standard of living rising all the time,the US film industry wants a slice (一片)of the profits.There are thousands of new cinemas being added throughout China.Technology is also improving all the time,meaning that more and more cinemas are able to show films in 3D or IMAX format(形式).
There is now a greater possibility of the US film industry earning more from the Chinese market.Now an agreement has been signed that will allow the number of foreign films a year to be increased to 34.This agreement with China will offer thousands of Americans jobs in and around the film industry.In addition,studios will be able to get 25%of the box office proceeds(收益),This was previously limited to about 13.5%. The real winners of the agreement will be The China Film Group and the Chinese cinema owners who make the largest profits.
The new deal is a huge step in the right direction.Even better.it will hopefully cut down on the Chinese bootleg DVD industry,which has long taken advantage of the fact that most Western films won't be shown in Chinese cinemas.

Title:Why China is important to the US film industry
(76)IntroductionDuring the early 1990s,people felt very(77)excitedwhen a foreign film was introduced to China.
Only 20films from abroad could be shown in Chinese cinemas until February 2012.
(78)ReasonsThe US film industry wants to make a(79)profit from the Chinese market because of its huge population and rapid development.
More and more new cinemas will be built in the future
3D or IMAX films will be shown in cinemas  because of the (80)improvementin technology.
(81)Advantagesof the agreement made by the US and ChinaIt can solve the employment problem,(82)offering thousands of Americans jobs in and around the film industry.
Studios can(83)get more proceeds than before
The China Film Group and the Chinese cinema owners will be the(84)realwinners of the agreement.

There is no limitation for the number of books that students can borrow.As the space for the library is limited,many books are(62)B in suburban library.Despite this,students can go to fetch the book at the (63)A library within 24hours after they submit request for that book.Even if there is only one book to be fetched from the suburban library,the libraries on campus will send someone to do the job.This kind of (64)B which put readers in the first place is rare even in Ivy League.Therefore,study at Harvard will be a(n) (65)D experience.

4.Years ago,when I started looking for my first job,wise advised,"Barbara,be enthusiastic!Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience."How right they were!
"Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm."wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson.It is the paste that helps you hang on there when the going tough.It is the inner voice that whispers,"I can do it!"when others shout,"No,you can't!"It took years and years for the early work of Barara McClintock,a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel  Prize in medicine,to be generally accepted.Yet she didn't stop working on her experiments.Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping.
We are all born with wide-eyed,enthusiastic wonder and it is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such youthful air,whatever their age was.At 90,cellist Palblo Cassls would start his day by playing Bach.A s the music flowed through his fingers his stooped shoulders would strengthen and joy would reappear in his eyes.As author and poet Samuei Ulman once wrote,"Years wrinkle the skin,but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul."
Enthusiastic people also love what they do,regardless of money or power.Patricia  Mellrath,retired director of the Missouri Repertory Theatre in Kansas City,was once asked where she got her enthusiasm.She replied,"My father,a lawyer long ago told me,I never made a dime until I stopped working for money."
If we cannot do what we love as a full-time career,we can as a hobby.Elizabeth Layton was 68 before she began to draw.This activity ended periods of depression that had troubled her for at least 30 years,and the quality of her led one critic to say,"I'm tempted to call Layton a genius."
We can't afford to waste tears on"might-have-beens".We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after"what-can-be".We need to live each moment whole-heartedly,which all our senses-including pleasure in the sweet smell of a back-yard garden,the simple picture of a six-year-old,the beauty of  a  rainbow.
68.What is the Chinese for"Enthusiasm"?A
A.熱情    
B.色彩     
C.惰性      
D.金錢
69.Which of the following can best explain the underlined sentence in the second paragraph?B
A.Enthusiasm can give you courage and strength in difficult times.
B.If you don't have enthusiasm,you can achieve nothing.
C.Enthusiastic people never consider money and fame.
D.Enthusiastic people can gain great fame and honor.
70.T he author mentions cellist Pablo Casals in the third paragraph to show thatC
A.music can arouse people's enthusiasm
B.enthusiasm can give people inspiration needed to succeed
C.enthusiasm can keep people feel young
