Three Feet From Gold
Darby’s uncle was caught by the “gold fever” in the gold-rush days, and went west to dig and grow rich. After months of labor, he was rewarded by the discovery of the shining ore (矿石). He needed machinery to bring the ore to the surface. So, with the “strike”, he returned home. And with the help of Darby, he borrowed a lot of money. After buying the machinery and having it shipped, Uncle and Darby went back to work the mine.
The first car of ore was mined. And the returns proved they had one of the richest mines in Colorado! Down went the drills! Up went the hopes of Uncle and Darby!
Then something happened! The vein (矿脉) of gold ore disappeared! They drilled on, but all in vain. Finally, they decided to quit and sold the machinery to a junk man for a few hundred dollars. The junk man called in a mining engineer to look at the mine and do a little calculating. The engineer’s calculations showed that the vein would be found just three feet from where the Darbys had stopped drilling! The junk man took millions of dollars in the vein, because he knew enough to seek expert’s advice before giving up.
Most of the money which went into the machinery was borrowed through the efforts of Darby, who was then a very young man. The money came from his relatives because of their faith in him. He paid back every dollar of it, although he spent years in doing so.
Long afterward, Mr. Darby made another discovery that desire can be changed into gold. This discovery came after he went into the business of selling life insurance. Remembering that he lost a huge fortune, for he stopped three feet from gold, Darby profited by the experience in his chosen work, saying to himself, “I stopped three feet from gold, but I will never stop because men say ‘no’ when I ask them to buy insurance.”
Darby sold more than a million dollars in life insurance annually. He owes his “stickability” to the lesson he learned from his “quitability” in the gold mining business.
24. Darby’s uncle went back home to ______.
A. receive his reward B. seek financial support
C. look for more helpers D. consult an engineer
25. The Darbys failed in mining business because of ______.
A. quitting drilling on B. the disappearance of the vein
C. the shortage of the machinery D. competing against the junk man
26. From the passage, we can know Darby ______.
A. was unable to pay off the debts
B. mined his gold from the failure
C. learned a lesson from selling insurance
D. devoted himself to making new discoveries
27. The author intends to tell us that ______.
A. we won’t reach our goal unless we persist
B. hopes and difficulties exist side by side
C. we should catch it when an opportunity comes
D. correct decisions result from correct judgement
C
Given the recent interest in green buildings in the media, let’s think differently. Instead of focusing on increasing the supply of energy, what if we focus on reducing demand?
Can we start with ending the open-door practice of street-front shops? While cool air from these shops is refreshing to pedestrians, it carries a cost. Energy is used in the air conditioning process.
So it must be possible to look for changes in regulations that would encourage more energy-saving designs. For instance, if we fix ceiling fans, air-conditioning homes could surely be avoided for part of the year. Ceiling fans use far less energy. They were in a year air conditioners could stay if ceiling fans were fixed.
In homes built under the small-house policy in New Territories, the ceiling may be too low for ceiling fans. If the 9-meter maximum building height regulation were relaxed, ceiling fans could be fixed to reduce energy use. Current thinking in sustainable building design and operation involves integrated (协调统一的) design, that is, bring together all parties to create a building with better performance that achieves energy reduction.
For integrated design to succeed, all parties must come together and think beyond each person’s circle of influence. Better solutions are impossible to avoid with integrated design. Buildings would no longer be engineered after the basic architecture was built. Positive project outcomes may include reduced air-conditioning load, reduced power use for electric lighting, and a reduction in the amount of materials used.
We need to ask if we are ready to look beyond our own small circles and seek an improved approach to building design. By that I mean an integrated design resulting in more sustainable buildings.
28. What’s the author’s attitude towards the open-door practice of the street shops?
A. Supportive. B. Disapproving. C. Optimistic. D. Uncaring.
29. Why does the author suggest fixing ceiling fans?
A. To follow an old practice. B. To help reduce energy use.
C. To completely replace air conditioners. D. To help cut down on daily expenses.
30. What’s the key to making sustainable buildings a reality?
A. All parties should get started at the same time.
B. The basic architecture should be finished first.
C. Proper design and performance to achieve energy reduction.
D. Seeking the small-house policy and some successful architects.
31. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Waste less, live better B. Goodbye, air conditioning
C. How to reduce the energy cost D. Green buildings call for integrated design
D
At your next meeting, wait for a pause in conversation and try to measure how long it lasts.
Among English speakers, chances are that it will be a second or two at most. But while this pattern may be universal, our awareness of silence differs dramatically across cultures.
What one culture considers a confusing or awkward pause may be seen by others as a valuable moment of reflection and sign of respect for what the last speaker has said. Research in Dutch and also in English found that when a silence in conversation stretches to four seconds, people start to feel uneasy. In contrast, a separate study of business meetings found that Japanese people are happy with silences of 8.2 seconds — nearly twice as long as in Americans’ meetings.
In Japan, it is recognized that the best communication is when you don’t speak at all. It’s already a failure to understand each other by speaking because you’re repairing that failure by using words.
In the US, it may originate from the history of colonial (殖民地) America as a crossroads of many different races. When you have a complex of difference, it’s hard to establish common understanding unless you talk and there’s understandably a kind of anxiety unless people are verbally engaged to establish a common life. This applies also to some extent to London.
In contrast, when there’s more homogeneity, perhaps it’s easier for some kinds of silence to appear. For example, among your closest friends and family it’s easier to sit in silence than with people you’re less well acquainted with.
32. Which of the following people might have the longest silence in conversation?
A. The Dutch. B. Americans. C. The English. D. The Japanese.
33. What might the Japanese agree with in a conversation?
A. Speaking more gives the upper hand. B. Speak out what you have in your mind.
C. Great minds think alike without words. D. The shorter talking silence, the better.
34. What can we learn from the text?
A. A four second silence in conversation is universal.
B. It’s hard for Americans to reach a common agreement.
C. English speakers are more talkative than Japanese speakers.
D. The closer we and our family are, the easier the silence appears.
35. What does the underlined word “homogeneity” in the last paragraph mean?
A. Similarity. B. Contradiction. C. Diversity. D. Misunderstanding.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
In a world surrounded by bad news, it may feel like an unhappy place sometimes. 36
If you make even one person smile today, you can help make this world a better place. Here is a list of ideas to help you.
37 In this day and age where everything is sent via the Internet, it’s a shock to receive a letter through the post. Putting pen to paper and writing a few words to a friend can be an easy way to make a positive impact.
Requiring some time and research to find the perfect project, volunteering is one of the nicest things you can do. Whether you volunteer at your local youth group or take dogs from shelters for a walk, the simple fact that you are giving up your time to help someone else is incredible. There are so many opportunities. 38
Tell someone “I love you”. It can be anyone. 39 Perhaps you can tell a friend that you appreciate all they are to you, or remind your mum that it’s her birthday. Sometimes, in our busy lives we forget to take a moment to tell people what they mean to us.
40 Whether you’re creative or not, taking time to make something for someone else shows how much you appreciate them. Even if you think you’re not creative, the recipient will feel lucky to get such a unique gift that you put your precious time into. Some ideas could include a card, painting, drawing, song, poem or cake!
A. However, you can make a difference.
B. It’s a surprise to send a handwritten letter.
C. And you don’t even have to say “I love you”.
D. So you are sure to find one that is right for you.
E. And it doesn’t necessarily have to take up all your life.
F. Making something for a special person is always unique.
G. Even a postcard with a couple of sentences could really make someone’s day.
