Denson is a mechanic, but he lost his job a few months ago. He is kind and helpful, but always feared applying
for a new job.
One day, he gathered up all his courage and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment was at 10:00
a.m. and it was already 8:30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw
an old man kicking the tyre of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Denson immediately
went up to lend a hand to him. When Denson finished repairing the car, the old man asked him how much he should
pay for the service. Denson said there was no need to pay him and he just helped someone in need, and that he had
to rush for an interview. Then the old man said, “Well, I could take you to the office. It’s the least I could do.
Please, I insist.” Denson agreed.
When he arrived at his destination, Denson found a long line of applicants (求职人) waiting to be
interviewed. Denson still had some grease (油脂) on his shirt after repairing the car, but he didn’t think he had
enough time to wash it off or change the shirt. One by one, the applicants left the interviewer’s office with
disappointed looks on their faces. After a long time, Denson’s name was finally called. The interviewer was sitting
on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be
interviewed?” Denson’s heart sank. “Wearing such a dirty shirt, how could I possibly pass this interview?” he
thought to himself. Then the interviewer turned around the chair, and to Denson’s surprise, it was the old man he
helped earlier in the morning. It turned out that he was the general manager of the company. “Sorry I had to keep
you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as a member of the company before you
even stepped into the office. I just know you’d be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations!”

A. Practice makes perfect. B. One good turn deserves another.
C. All roads lead to Rome. D. One is never too old to learn.
【答案】29. D 30. B 31. D 32. B
【解析】本文主要讲Denson在去面试的路上帮助了一个老人修车，衣服脏了觉得自己肯定不能通过面试，
但是没想到他帮助的老人就是公司的面试官，他成功的获得了新工作。
29.细节理解题。根据“Denson is a mechanic, but he lost his job a few months ago. He is kind and helpful, but
always feared applying for a new job.”可知，Denson总是害怕申请新工作，可以看出他对找到一份新工作没
有信心。故选D。
30.细节理解题。根据“Then the old man said, “Well, I could take you to the office. It’s the least I could do.
Please, I insist.” Denson agreed.”可知，当老人的车又能正常工作时，那位老人让丹森免费乘车去上班。故

Mark Twain left school when he was twelve. He had little school education. In
spite of this, he became the most famous writer of his time. He made millions of
dollars by writing. His real name was Samuel Langhorne Clemens, but he is better
known all over the world as Mark Twain, his pen name.
Mark Twain was born in 1835 and he was not a healthy baby. In fact, he was notexpected to live through the first winter. But with his mother’s care, he managed to survive. As a boy, he caused
much trouble for his parents. He used to play jokes on all his friends and neighbors. He didn’t like to go to school,
and he often ran away from home. He always went in the direction of the nearby Mississippi. He was nearly
drowned nine times.
After his father’s death, Mark Twain began to work for a printer, who only provided him with food and
clothing. Then, he worked as a printer, a river-boat pilot and later joined the army. But shortly after that he became
a miner. During this period, he started to write short stories. Afterwards he became a full-time writer.
In 1870, Mark Twain got married. In the years that followed, he wrote many books including Tom Sawyer in
1876, and Huckleberry Finn in 1884, which made him famous, and brought him great fortune.
Unfortunately, Mark Twain got into debts（债务）in bad investments (投资) and he had to write large
numbers of stories to pay these debts. In 1904, his wife died, and then three of his children passed away. At the age

【解析】本文介绍了Mark Twain的生平事迹。
33.推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的“Mark Twain was born in 1835 and he was not a healthy baby”可推知，在Mark Twain小时候，他的母亲经常担心他的安全。故选C。
34.细节理解题。根据文章第三段“After his father’s death, Mark Twain…he became a full time writer”和第五
段中的“Unfortunately, Mark Twain got into debts（债务）in bad investments (投资)”可知，Mark Twain的爸
爸去世了，然后他成为了一名印刷工，接着他去参军，然后成为矿工，然后成为全职作家，最后负债累累，
所以顺序为d-b-f-a-e-c。故选A。
35.推理判断题。根据文章第二段中的“As a boy, he caused much trouble for his parents. He used to…nearly
drowned nine times.”可推知，当Mark Twain小的时候，他很顽皮。故选D。
36.推理判断题。根据文章最后一段中的“In 1904, his wife died, and then three of his children passed away.
At…until his death on April 21,1910”可推知，妻子和三个孩子的去世让Mark Twain情绪低落，一直到他去
世前。故选D。

Critical thinking is the ability to think clearly and rational about what to believe or what to do. According to a
report on the World Economic Forum, critical thinking, creativity, and their practical application are widely
accepted as the top three skills that young people need to possess in their future career.
A good critical thinker usually takes the following steps before he decides what to do. Whenever he needs to
do something, he would, first of all, reason. He checks why he needs to do it and whether he really needs to do it.
Then, analyze. He tries to find out what it really is and the best way to do it. After that, evaluate. He makes sure
whether he is able to do it and how to do it well. Finally, he makes the decision and takes action. Take the “Double
11” (a popular online shopping day in China) as an example. A few days before it, he checks carefully what he
needs and whether he really needs them, and makes a shopping list. He goes to the online shops to compare the
quality and the prices of the things that he is going to buy. He compares the ships that sell these things.
Then he checks whether he can afford them and in which shops he is going to buy them. Although it takes him
some time to make the decisions, he would not regret after the shopping. Then what would happen if he didn’t think
critically before he made the decision? After the crazy “Double 11”, there were usually a lot of complaints on the
Internet. There were regrets about buying more things than they needed. There were complaints about the poor
quality and the prices of the things they bought. There were also complaints because they received wrong things or
simply received nothing. There were all kinds of regrets and complaints. Why so? They had not thought critically
before they made the decisions.
Critical thinking helps you make wiser decisions. It helps you avoid wasting time, money and so on.
Therefore, do look before you leap.37. According to the passage, which of the following is not the top three skills that young people need to possess in

A. He checks what he needs to buy. B. He studies the quality and the prices.
C. He makes a proper shopping list. D. He checks how much money he has.
40. Which of the following examples is the use of “critical thinking”?

参考范文
How time flies! It’s unbelievable that I’m going to graduate from my beloved school. There are many things to
remember.
In the junior school, I got along well with my classmates. The teachers are very friendly and they are ready tohelp me. The most unforgettable thing is that I got a chance of becoming an exchange students and spent two
months in Australia. I learned a lot from the experience. I also remember I served as volunteer to help others.
Certainly, there were also unhappy things. My good friend Li Hua went to another school. I was very sad. Luckily,
we kept in touch with each other through emails. Besides, I was not good at Chinese writing.
I hope I can go to a dream school and make more new friends. I also wish I can do better in all subjects when I
am in high school and can go to a good college.
