it.there is a story about bill gates, the 37 of microsoft that proves this. one day an executive from a large computer company came to his 38 looking for someone who had 39 a new operating system for computers. he didnt know too much about the inventor or his operating system, and he wasnt 40 sure of the inventors address. at that time everything in the computer business was so new and so disorganized 41 normal business procedures were almost unknown.it 42 that the inventor lived in a home next to gates, but he was not at home when the executive came by. he may have been 43 at a meeting or shopping for new equipment. the executive, 44 no one home, wasnt sure what to do, but he didnt want to waste his trip, so he stopped by gates house to ask him if he knew anything about the inventors system and 45 it worked.since gates was working on very 46 software, most other people in his place would have spoken 47 with the executive, told him that he was working on something else, and then forgotten about the whole thing. gates, however, saw a（n） 48 and jumped on it. he told the executive that 49 he was working on his own operating system（he wasnt）and he would be 50 to discuss it with the executive in a few weeks.after the executive 51 to a meeting to be held a few weeks later, gates quickly went out 52 for someone who had a workable new operating system. as an engineer he had a better idea than the executive about what he needed, and when he found someone with an operating system that he liked, he made modifications（修改） 53 on what the executive told him. his meeting a few weeks later was a great 54 , and gates new operating system was sold to the large company and the sale became the foundation of microsoft. within two decades gates was the richest man in the world. he 55 his own luck by seizing an unexpected opportunity.36. a. take b. make c. use d. give37. a. discoverer b. founder c. organizer d. speaker38. a. neighborhood b. home c. office d. company39.

day may poison children.children who eat an apple or a pear a day may be exceeding（超过）the pesticide（杀虫剂）safety limit because of remains on the fruit, according to research.using data of the british department of environment on pesticides on fruit collected from supermarkets，scientists thought that each day some children would get a poisonous level of pesticides.the research, published on sunday, says the government repeatedly claims that the levels of pesticide are safe because, instead of measuring individual apples, researchers buy 10, crush them and take an average reading to see if they are safe. this is the internationally agreed method of checking remains.but government figures show that the pesticide is not averagely spread across the batch（一批）, and one or two apples could contain 90% or more of the pesticide in the batch.it used mathematical modeling to measure exposure to pesticides for children aged between 18 months and four years old. the pesticides involved can destroy childrens hormones and some are suspected of causing cancer.the good news for british fruit growers is that samples（抽样）grown in this country had lower residue level than imported fruit, so buying home-produced fruit will reduce the danger, said emily diaman, one of the earths senior food researchers and one of the authors of the report.56. the reason why “an apple a day may poison children” is that _.a. there are some harmful insects or worms in the appleb. children would get a poisonous level of pesticides because of the remains on the applec. there are always more pesticides on the applesproduced in britaind. the apple is too hard for children to eat57. according to the passage, the internationally agreed method of checking remains _.a. tells exactly the pesticide level of each appleb. works well only with british fruitsc. cant tell whether a specific apple is safe to eat or notd. used mathematical modeling to measure exposure to pesticides for children.58. the underlined word “residue” can be replaced by _.a. remains b. pesticide c. poison d. medicine59. which of the following is not true？a. the remains of the pesticides can do harm to the childrens health.b. the remains of the pesticides can do harm to the childrens hormones.c. some remains of the pesticides are suspected of causing cancer.d. for safety, wed better not eat apples from britain.bdo you know who invented the slide-fastener, or rather, the zipper（拉链）? no one thought of anything like the zipper until whitcomb judson came along. judsons slide-fastener was an out-of-blue invention. no one knows what gave him the idea. no one even knows much about him, except that he was a mechanical engineer living in chicago and that he patented other inventions to do with a street railway system and motorcars.judson invented the first zipper in 1891. this ingenious little device looks very simple, and the principle behind it is simple, too; yet it took a lot of years, together with another inventor to make the zipper really practical.the zipper had to be produced cheaply, because no one would pay a lot of money for it. judson invented a machine to mass-produce his slide-fastener. but the machine was terribly complicated and kept on breaking down. so in 1905 judson invented a new fastener, the c-curity, which was easier to manufacture. clothing manufacturers, however, were not the least bit interested in trying out the fasteners, so the only way judson could get them on to the market was by letting pedlars（小贩） sell them from door to door. moreover, the c-curity fastener was clumsy and had a bad habit of bursting open at inconvenient times.then a young swedish engineer called sundback came to work for judsons struggling company. he thought hard and decided that the interlocking parts needed to be much smaller to give the fastener greater flexibility and to stop it bursting open. after several attempts, sundback invented a really practical fastener in 1913. it is in all important ways the same as the one we use today.clothing manufacturers still refused to use the fastener. but in 1918 an inventor showed the american army a flying suit he had invented. it happened to use the slide-fastener. the army put the suit through such tough tests that it disintegrated(分裂)-all except the fastener! a navy officer happened to see the tests, and judsons unknown little company got an order for ten thousand fasteners. later, judsons invention was used in the manufacture of rubber galoshes（橡胶套鞋） by a big company. they called the galoshes zippers. this is how the slide-fastener got it s popular name.60. what does the sentence “whitcomb judsons slide-fastener was called an out-of-blue invention” in the first paragraph mean?a. that it was blue in color. b. that it was totally unexpected.c. that it was excellent in quality.d. that it was not practical.61. how many years did it take for a really practical zipper to be invented? a. 22 b. 18 c. 19 d. 1362. what do we know about whitcomb judson according to the passage? a. it took judson a lot of years to invent the first zippers. b. judson, together with sundback invented a really practical fastener in 1913. c. judson invented a lot of things, not only including zippers but also a street railway system and motorcars. d. people know little about whitcomb judson except a few facts.63. what can you conclude from the passage? a. the invention of the zipper was no plain sailing but its marketing was. b. at least three inventors worked for the perfection of the zipper. c. the slide-fastener acquired its present name only after it was used in the manufacturing of army suits. d. it was only by a stroke of luck that the zipper found its way into a wider market.64. what is the writers purpose of writing the passage?a. to tell us how the zipper works.b. to give a brief sketch about the inventors of the zipper.c. to give us information about the invention of the zipper.d. to argue who the real inventor of the zipper was.(2012海南省洋浦中学高三第一次月考）cthere was once an ant that was very thirsty.it ran here and there looking for some water but could not find any.then suddenly, when the ant
