13.It gives me great pleasure today to say a few words in praise of a man we will all miss very much.To be honest,I can't imagine we will do without him when he's gone.
Bill Masters almost single-handed built up our sales force in the Houston area and developed the market position that we enjoy today.In only six years,he has brought the firm from a very low fifth position in the area sales to the point where we now outsell all but one of our competitors.Not onl have we got 37per cent of the market under Bill's leadership; we are increasing our share with each passing month.
As you know,the company has moved Bill to northern Calfornia to work his sales magic in one of this company's most competitive areas.But we know that if anyone can do it,Bill Masters can,and I know you all join me in wishing him the bes of luck in his new work.

分析 這是一篇送別他人的文章,是在Bill要離開休斯頓去北卡羅來納的時候夸獎他所做的巨大貢獻的短文.

解答 21.C.推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章第三段As you know,the company has moved Bill to northern Calfornia to work his sales magic in one of this company's most competitive areas可知Bill要離開休斯頓去北卡羅來納了,文章正是給他送行時所說.夸獎他取得的巨大成功;故選C.
22.C.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段In only six years,he has brought the firm from a very low fifth position in the area sales to the point where we now outsell all but one of our competitors可知他在那里工作了六年;故C正確.
23.D.推理判斷題.根據(jù)第二段一開始 Bill Masters almost single-handed built up our sales force in the Houston area and developed the market position that we enjoy today.中的almost single-handed可知Bill幾乎是單槍匹馬的在休斯頓開始的,故D正確.
24.B.細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段中的he has brought the firm from a very low fifth position in the area sales to the point where we now outsell all but one of our competitors.中的 all but one說明我們現(xiàn)在排名第二.故B正確.

點評 考察學(xué)生的細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細(xì)節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

5.I had dressed quite nicely for my first day as a student at St.Anne's College of Further Education.In celebration of this new beginning,I had changed my unusual clothes to formal clothing.
Like many young people my age,I was under the impression that the best way to show your personality was by wearing the kind of clothing that my mother considered was not fit to be seen in public.But for my first day as a student I had made an effort to look what my mother called‘respectable'.
There were fifteen of us,sitting in the theatre hall,while the head of the drama department,Mr.Wilson,gave us a warm welcoming speech.To my horror (恐懼),he then invited us to say why we had decided to do a drama course.I had no idea what I would say.The truth was that although I had a taste for unusual clothing,I was painfully shy.
My worry grew as it came closer to my turn.One by one,the new students excitedly explained their reasons.Then it was the turn of a girl who I hadn't really noticed until that moment because I was too busy thinking about what I would say.‘My name's Tracy and I'm from Blackburn',she said,and then added no further information.
Everyone smiled politely in silence but I was impressed at her bravery in saying almost nothing even under pressure (壓力).I relaxed,knowing that you could get away with saying so little about yourself.It gave me confidence.
After Mr.Wilson at long last let us out of the hall to go to lunch,I managed to find the courage to go up to Tracy.She looked very unfriendly.Taking a deep breath,I introduced myself.To my surprise,she looked up at me and gave me a very bright,sweet smile.That was twenty-seven years ago,and although we never did become famous stars,we're still best friends.
