Cloze (1 point for each, altogether 10 points)Directions: Decide which of the choices given below would best complete the passage if inserted in the corresponding blanks. Write your answers on the answer sheet.Families have always been changing. For example, once the family was the world. In 31 words，at one time everything a person did took place within the family. The family was the child's only school. The family was the only means to settle a dispute. Nowadays，the family is still the "world" in some cultures. But in many cultures，these 32 functions of the family have largely been 33 by other institutions，such as schools，churches，and governments.In the 34 ，families changed in other ways，some scientists believe that when people obtained food by hunting animals and gathering roots and plants，the family had to be small 35 move around, and when they settled down to 36 to obtain food，they found that they needed more 37 to do the work. Then the new family developed in some cultures. Now 38 to their children，people lived together with their parents and even grandparents.H ow are families changing today? The number of nuclear families （核心家庭）seems to be increasing everywhere in the world，while that of extended families is 39 . One reason for this seems to bethat in many cultures today people are leaving farms and villages to find jobs in the city. Extended families are hard to maintain when people have to be free to move in order to find 40 .31. [A] another[B] the other[C] other[D] others32. [A] former [B] front[C] latter [D] back33.

(2 points for each, altogether 30 points)Directions: There are three passages followed by questions. Beneath each question there are four choices respectively marked by letters A, B, C and D. Choose the right answer for each question. Write your answers on the answer sheet.Passage 1Intelligent young people want to go to university, and it is logical for a country to provide university places for them to ensure that there will be good-trained men and women to run the government and industry in the future. So in the 1960s the government set up a number of new universities in Britain to provide everyone with sufficient opportunity to study. But now something has gone wrong. There is still fierce competition to go to university to study arts and other subjects, but many places for scientists are not taken up.The new universities concentrated on science because it seemed practical. They developed new courses so as not to imitate traditional university education. Why have their calculations proved wrong? One reason is that a lot of young people can get enough qualifications to work in industry by going to technical school. They think university courses are too long and tootheoretical. But this does not explain why the majority of students still prefer arts subjects to science subjects.41．What is "logical" according to the first paragraph?_______.[A] Intelligent young people want to go to university.[B] The government should set up universities to train young people for the country.[C] People who run the country should be well-trained.[D] University is the place to train young men and women.42．What makes the new universities different from the traditional ones?_______.[A] There are more science subjects in them.[B] There are more arts students in them.[C] Their curriculum is more scientifically planned.[D] They are equipped with more modern facilities.43．What does "their calculations"(par.2)refer to ?_______.[A] Their plan to defeat the traditional university education.[B] Their calculations of how many students study science and how many students study arts.[C] Their thought that science is practical.[D] Their assumption that people are willing to study the practical science subjects in the university.44．Which of the following shows the advantage of technical schools over universities correctly?_______.[A] They have more qualified teachers.[B] They have more qualified courses.[C] The students can be qualified to work within a short time.[D] If the students get qualification in technical schools, they are more well-received by industry.45．Why does the majority of the students prefer to study arts in university?_______.[A] The reason is not clear.[B] The science courses in university are too theoretical.[C] Arts sound nobler than science.[D] The curriculum of science course is not well-arranged.Passage 2Most Europeans want small cars. Many Americans prefer large cars. As a result, European auto-makers produce a wide variety of economical, lightweight cars while American auto-makers tend to build bigger, heavier cars.The price of gasoline has much to do with this. Gasoline is expensive in Europe, so Europeans naturally prefer cars that will go a long way on a small amount of fuel.Other reasons also enter into the big or little car decision. Many Old World cities have very narrow, winding streets. In these cities a small car is more practical and easier to handle than alarge one.Some Americans like powerful engines in their cars. They enjoy having roomy cars that are comfortable for large families and long trips. They are prepared to pay higher operating costs to get these advantages.Other Americans, however, have learned to like small,nimble cars. Many visitors to Europe during and after WWⅡ discovered that small cars were fun to drive and easy to park in small spaces. They were delighted to learn how far small cars could go on a few gallons of gasoline.In the 1950s，many Americans began buying European cars. In 1953, for the first time, the United States imported more cars than it exported. The best seller among these imported cars was an odd-looking but dependable small car from Germany. Americans promptly nicknamed it "the bug".Today, American car buyers have a wide choice. There are big cars for people who want elbow room, comfort and power. And there are small cars, mostly imported but some American-made, for people who want easy parking and economical operation.46．Implied but not stated:_______.[A] All Americans buy European cars.[B] No one wants to drive a powerful car.[C] Small cars are not expensive to run.[D] Americans don't like roomy cars.47．What does the word "nimble" mean?_______.[A] cheap[B] beautiful[C] swift[D] foreign48．On the whole, the article tells about_______.[A] parking cars in America[B] the price of gasoline[C] the price of roomy cars[D] big cars and small cars49．Why do some people want to purchase big cars? _______.[A] They want to have elbow room, comfort and power.[B] It is easier to park big cars.[C] They need to make long-distance journey.[D] Big cars cost less than small cars.50．Which statement seems true according to the article?_______.[A] Americans are not accustomed to traveling in Europe.[B] People like to choose cars from many choices.[C] People like to buy European cars without any specific reason.[D] No one drives big cars in Old World cities.Passage 3The bath was invented before the bath plug. The bath plug couldnot have been invented before the bath, except as a small object with which to play ice hockey. The order in which inventions are made is very important, much more important than has ever been realized, because we tend automatically to think that later inventions are better than earlier ones. A moment's thought will show this is not so. If, for example, a solution to today's urban traffic problems was proposed in the shape of a small man-powered two-wheeled vehicle which would make the motor car look like a cumbersome （笨重的）over-powered device, a space rocket trying to tackle suburban problems, we would greet it as a great technological breakthrough. “bIcycle makes car obsolete!”We would cry. Unfortunately, the bike came first, so we shall always unconsciously see it as a cruder version of the car. Other things which may have been invented too early are the airship, the radio, the railway train, the cuff-link.Consider also the zipper. Zippers represent a technological advance on buttons, being faster and more complete. They are also more liable to come adrift, break, jam, stick and catch. Buttons can only go wrong if the thread is faulty. Even then, buttons can be mended by the user, Zips rarely can.51．If the bicycle were to be invented now, the car would appear_______.[A] unsuitable for its purpose[B] in advance of its time[C] unnecessarily expensive[D] too far for safety52．The railway train and the radio are examples of things which_______.[A] were not fully appreciated at the time of their invention[B] are more suitable for use now than when they were invented[C] are neglected in favor of more recent invention[D] are less suited to their purpose than earlier invention53．According to the author, buttons are preferable to zippers because they_______.[A] are more convenient[B] are more reliable[C] cost less to replace[D] are more complete54．What conclusion can be drawn from the article? _______.[A] Modern technology can't solve our problems.[B] Everything has two aspects, advantages and disadvantages.[C] We should change our usual way of thinking about inventions.[D] Technological innovations do not always mean more benefits55．What does the word "obsolete" mean?_______.[A] outdated[B] slow in movement[C] ridiculous[D] awkwardIV. Blanking filling. (1 point for each, altogether 10 points)Directions: Complete each of the following sentences with the correct form of the italicized word on the left of each sentence.

These great forests are the oceans of trees. There arethousands and thousands of different kinds of plants and animals.However, the world's forests are gettingsmaller all the time. We are cutting down the trees because we need wood, andwe need more farmland. Some people say that there will not be any forests like thesein 20 or 30 years. What will happen if they disappear?If we cut down our forests, a lot of plantsand animals will disappear from the world. In a lot of places the new farmlandwill soon look like the old deserts. Crops will not grow there. It will notrain very often, and the weather will get very hot. Perhaps the climate of theworld will change. This will be dangerous for everyone in the world. That iswhy we must take care of our forests.(1)、The passage mainly tells us about the importance oftaking care of plants.A：TB：F答案：A(2)、Forests are homes for different kinds of animals.A：TB：F答案：A(3)、The need for more wood and more land help to protect ourforests.A：TB：F答案：B(4)、We'll have more and greater forestsn in 20 or 30 years insome people's view.A：TB：F答案：B(5)、The writer thinks it necessary to protect the forests.A：TB：F答案：A2、In theUnited States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in themorning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or havingbreakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important andrequires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone callsmade after 11:00 pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, heassumes it's a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the callcommunicates its importance.In social life, time plays a very important part.In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinnerparty is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is nottrue in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be consideredfoolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are madefor a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of timediffers in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise betweenpeople from different cultures that treat time differently. Promptness isvalued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt,they maybe regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no onewould think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would betoo impolite. A person, who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words ofexplanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.(1)、What is the main idea of this passage? ________A：It is not customary totelephone someone in the morning and in sleeping hours in the U.S.B：The role of time insocial life over the world.C：If people are late, theymay be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible in the U.S.D：Not every country treatsthe concept of time as the same.答案：B(2)、What does it mean in the passage if you call someoneduring his or her sleeping hours?_______A：A matter of work.B：A matter of life ordeath.C：You want to see him orher.D：You want to make anappointment with him or her.答案：B(3)、Which of the following time is proper if you want to makean appointment with your friend in the U.S. A.?A：at 7:00 amB：at 4:00 pmC：at the midnightD：at 4 am答案：B(4)、Which of the following statements is true according tothe passage? ________A：In the U.S.A. gueststend to feel they are highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party isextended only three or four days before the party date.B：No misunderstandingsarise between people from different cultures about the concept of time.C：It may be consideredfoolish to make an appointment well in advance in the U.S.A. .D：Promptness is valuedhighly in American life.答案：D(5)、From the passage we can safely infer that _______A：it's a matter of life ordeath if you call someone in day time.B：the meaning of timediffers in different parts of the world.C：it makes no differencein the U.S. whether you are early or late for a business party.D：if a personis late for a date, he needn't make some explanation.答案：B三、词汇与语法1、If she wants to stay thin, she must make a _____ in herdiet.A：changeB：turnC：runD：go答案：A2、That was a difficult question, but Mary still _______ towork it out.A：didB：failedC：keptD：managed答案：D3、There are a lot of news ______today's newspaper.A：inB：onC：atD：with答案：A4、I'll give you a ring if Mike ________ tomorrow.A：comesB：will comeC：cameD：is coming答案：A5、The rain was _______ make our picnic impossible.A：hard enoughB：hard so toC：so hard as toD：so hard to答案：C四、完型填空Man can not go on increasing his number at the present rate.

Reading Comprehension. (2 points for each, altogether 20 points)Directions: There are 2 passages followed by questions. Beneath each question there arejz*four choices respectively marked by letters A, B, C and D. Choose the right answer for each question. Write your answers on the answer sheet.Passage One Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.In cities with rent control, the city government sets the maximum rent that a landlord can charge for an apartment. Supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are living in apartments. Their rent cannot increase; therefore, they are not in danger of losing their homes. However, the critics say that after a long time, rent control may have negative effects. Landlords know that they cannot increase their profits. Therefore, they invest in other businesses where they can increase their profits. They do not invest in new buildings which would also be rent-controlled. As a result, new apartments are not built. Many people who need apartments cannot find any. According to the critics, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments in the city.Some theorists argue that the minimum wage law can cause problems in the same way. The federal government sets the minimum that an employer must pay workers. The minimum helps people who generally look for unskilled, low-paying jobs. However, if the minimum is high, employers may hire fewer workers. They will replace workers with machinery. The price, which is the wage that employers must pay, increases. Therefore, other things being equal, the number of workers that employers want decreases. Thus, critics claim, an increase in the minimum wage may cause unemployment. Some poor people may find themselves without jobs instead of with jobs at the minimum wage.Supporters of the minimum wage say that it helps people keep their dignity. Because of the law, workers cannot sell their services for less than the minimum. Furthermore, employers cannot force workers to accept jobs at unfair wages.Economic theory predicts the results of economic decisions such as decisions about farm production, rent control, and the minimum wage. The predictions may be correct only if “other things are equal〞. Economists do not agree on some of the predictions. They also do not agree on the value of different decisions. Some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it. Economists do agree, however, that there are no simple answers to economic questions.31. There is the possibility that setting maximum rent may.[A]cause a shortage of apartments[B]worry those who rent apartments as homes[C]increase the profits of landlords[D]encourage landlords to invest in building apartment32.According to the critics, rent control[A]will always benefit those who rent apartments[B]is unnecessary[C]will bring negative effects in the long run[D]is necessary under all circumstances33.The problem of unemployment will arise[A]if the minimum wage is set too high[B]if the minimum wage is set too low[C]if the workers are unskilledjz*[D]if the maximum wage is set34.The passagetells us[A]the relationship between supply and demand[B]the possible results of government controls[C]the necessity of government control[D]the urgency of getting rid of government controls35.Which of the following statements is NOT true"[A]The results of economic decisions can not always be predicted.[B]Minimum wage can not always protect employees.[C]Economic theory can predict the results of economic decisions if other factors are not changing.[D]Economic decisions should not be based on economic theory.Passage TwoQuestions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Social customs and ways of behaving change. Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable. Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behavior for a man to smoke on street. No man who thought of himself by smoking when a lady was in a room.Customs also differ from country to country. Does a man walk on the left or the right of a woman in your country" Or doesn't it matter" Should you use both hands when you are eating" Should leave one in your lap, or on the table"The Americans and the British not only speak the same language but also share a large number of social customs. For example, in both America and England people shake hands when they meet each other for the first time.

That is , if a dinner invitation is for 7 o'clock , the dinner guest either arrives close to that time or calls up to explain his delay.The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable-----especially if they are your guests. When the food was served , one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife . The other guests were amused or shocked, but the host calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way.

Rules for riding motor vehicles on camps.BWhen you think about math, you p robably don’t think about breaking the law, solving mysteries or finding criminals. But a mathematician in Maryland does, and he has come up with mathematical tools to help police find criminals.People who solve crimes look for patterns that might reveal (揭示) the identity of the criminal. It’s long been believed, for example, that c riminals will break the law closer to where they live, simply because it’s easier to get around in their own neighborhood. If police see a pattern of robberies in a certain area, they may look for a suspect who lives near the crime scenes. So, the farther away from the area a crime takes place, the less likely it is that the same criminal did it.But Mike O’Leary, a mathematic ian at Towson University in Maryland, says that this k ind of approach may be too simple. He says that police may get better clues to the location of a criminal’s home base by combining these patterns with a city’s layout (布局) and historical crime records.The records of past crimes contain geographical information and can reveal easy targets —that is, the kind of stores that might be less difficult to rob. Because these stores are along roads, the locations of past crimes contain information about where major streets and intersections are. O’Leary is writing a new computer program that will quickly provide this kind of information for a given city. His program also includes information about the people who live in the city, and information about how a criminal’s patterns change with age. It’s been shown, for e xample, that the younger the criminal, the closer to home the crime.Other computer programmers have worked on similar software, but O’Leary’s uses more math. The mathematician plans to make his computer program available, free of charge, to police departments around the country.The program is just one way to use math to fight crime. O’Leary says that criminology — the study of crime and criminals —contains a lot of good math problems. “I feel like I’m in a gold mine and I’m the only one who knows what go ld looks like,”he says. “It’s a lot of fun.”61. To find criminals, police usually _________.A. check who are on the crime sceneB. seek help from local peopleC. depend on new mathematical toolsD. focus on where crimes take place62. O’Leary is writing a computer program that _________.A. uses math to increase the speed of calculationB. tells the identity of a criminal in a certain areaC. provides the crime records of a given cityD. shows changes in criminals’ patterns63. By “I’m the only one who knows what gold looks like”, O’Leary means that he _________.A. is better at finding gold than othersB. is the only one who uses math to make moneyC. knows best how to use math to help solve crimesD. has more knowledge of gold than other mathematicians64. What do you know about O’Leary according to the passage?A. He is a man full of impractical imagination.B. He is a man full of self-confidence.C. He is a man who is talkative but lazy.D. He is a man who doesn’t like mathematics.65. What is the main idea of the text?A. Math could help police find criminals.B. Criminals live near where crimes occur.C. Crime records could be used to fight crime.D. Computer software works in preventing crimes.CDepression is one of the most common mental health issues among Americans, and children are also affected by it. Childhood depression increases the risk of suicide. It’s important that parents become aware of the signs and symptoms of childhood depression, because children usually can’t express their feelings in a way that adults will understand that they’re depressed. One in every 33 children may be struggling with depression, according to Kids Health.Signs and Symptoms of Clinical Depression in ChildrenDepression in adults and children can look quite different. Sometimes children become impatient instead of sad and throw a tantrum(发脾气) when depressed. They might not necessarily look like the typical crying person that people are used to seeing on television when someone is described as depressed. Here are more symptoms of childhood depression: overwhelming sadness, weight loss or weight gain due to under-eating or over-eating, sleeplessness, low self-esteem(自尊),etc.A child who is depressed may refuse to go to school, have a sudden drop in his grades, and stop playing with his friends after school. Things that used to make him happy seem to no longer interest him.T reatment Options for Children Suffering from DepressionMedication, individual therapy, and family therapy are forms of treatment for children who are depressed. Many times it is recommended that children try different forms of psychotherapy before considering medication. The most commonly appointed medications for children who have a diagnosis of major depressive disorder are antidepressants(抗抑郁药). Some children need a combination of therapy and medication to reduce the symptoms of depression. It depends on each child’s individual symptoms and the severity of the depression. In any form of treatment, parents play an essential part and should be fully involved.It can be scary for a parent to think that his child is depressed; however, it’s important to understand the signs and symptoms of depression, signs of suicidal thoughts, treatment options forchildhood depression and the basic information about antidepressants.66. From the text we can learn that ______.A. depression is the most common mental problem in AmericaB. about 3 percent of children may be suffering from depressionC. when a child struggles with depression, what he needs most is medicineD. signs and symptoms of depression in children are quite similar to those in adults67. According to the text, we know that if a child is depressed, he may _______.A. get angry easilyB. talk with his parents about his problemC. go out with his friends and have a big mealD. have no interest in anything except watching TV68. All the following are signs and symptoms of childhood depression EXCEPT“________”.A. lack of self-respectB. over-eating or under-eatingC. having difficulty in falling asleepD. often crying when watching TV69. From Paragraph 4, we can infer that _______.A. only the severity of depression determines the form of treatmentB. medication is the most useful form of treatment for depressionC. a child suffering from depression should turn to a psychologist firstD. in dealing with depression, parents play the most important role70. What is the passage about?A. Why children will have depression.B. How we should treat depression in childhood.C. What the symptoms and treatment of depression in children are.D. When the best time for parents to treat depression in children is.PART FOUR WRITINGSECTION ADirection: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Direction: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.How we look and how we appear to others probably worries us more when we are in our teens or early twenties than at any other time in our life. Few of us are content to accept ourselves as we are, and few are brave enough to ignore the trends of fashion?Most fashion magazines or TV advertisements try to persuade us that we should dress in a certain way or behave in a certain manner. If we do, they tell us, we will be able to meet new people with confidence and deal with every situation confidently and without embarrassment. Changing fashion, of course, does not apply just to dress. A barber today does not cut a boy’s hair in the same way as he used to, and girls do not make up in the same way as their mothers and grandmothers did. The advertisers show us the latest fashionable styles and we are constantly under pressure to follow the fashion in case our friends think we are odd or dull.What causes fashions to change? Sometimes convenience or practical necessity or just the fancy of an influential person can establish a fashion. Take hats for example. In cold climates, early buildings were cold inside, so people wore hats indoors as well as outside. In recent times, the late President Kennedy caused a depression in the American hat industry by not wearing hats: more American men followed his example.There is also a cyclical pattern in fashion. In the 1920s in Europe and America, short skirts became fashionable. After World War Two, they dropped to ankle length. Then they got shorter and shorter the miniskirt was in fashion. After a few more years, skirts became longer again. Today, society is much freer and easier than it used to be. It is no longer necessary to dress like everyone else. Within reason, you can dress as you like or do your hair the way you like instead of the way you should because it is the fashion. The popularity of jeans and the “untidy” look seems to be a reaction against the increasingly expensive fashion of the top fashion houses.At the same time, appearance is still important in certain circumstances and then we must choose our clothes carefully. It would be foolish to go to an interview for a job in a law firm wearing jeans and a sweater; and it would be discourteous to visit some distinguished scholar looking as if we were going to the beach or a night club. However, you need never feel depressed if you don’t look like the latest fashion photo. Look around you and you’ll see that no one else does either.I.

Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.JIUQUAN, June 15 (Xinhua) -- An eloquent speaker and a lover of cooking, Liu Yang iswell-poised to be the first Chinese woman in space.When she watched the news on television of China's first manned space mission in 2003, the pilot couldn't help but wonder: What would the Earth look like from outer space?Nine years later, Liu is getting the opportunity to find out herself as China's first female astronaut, taking her place among three Chinese chosen to crew the Shenzhou-9 manned spacecraft.Liu will be in charge of medical experiments during the mission, which will also featureChina's first attempt at a manual space docking procedure."I have full confidence," Liu said before the mission. “Men and women have their own advantages and capabilities in carrying out space missions. They can complement each other and better complete their mission."The native of central China's Henan province started looking toward the skies just after high school, when one of her teachers convinced her to enroll in an aviation school.Joining the People's Liberation Army (PLA) Air Force in 1997, Liu became a veteran pilot after flying safely for 1,680 hours. She was promoted to deputy head of a PLA flight unit before being recruited as a prospective astronaut in May 2010. She is now an Air Force major.Liu has been described by her colleagues as being outgoing, eloquent and well-versed. Since joining the military, she has received accolades for her public speaking, winning first place in a military speech contest in 2010.She has also impressed others as a quick learner.

Today, however, we needn't worry about feeling pain during the operation. The sick person falls into a kind of sleep, and when he awakes, the operation is finished. But these happy conditions are fairly new. It is not many years since a man who had to have operation felt all its pain.Long ago, operation had usually to be done while the sick man could feel everything. The sick man had to be held down on a table by force while the doctors did their best for him. He could feel all the pain if his leg or arm was being cut off, and his fearful cries filled the room and the hearts of those who watched.Soon after 1770, Joseph Priestley discovered a gas which is now called "laughing gas". Laughing gas became known in America. Young men and women went to parties to try it. Most of them spent their time laughing, but one man at a party, Horace Wells, noticed that people didn't seem to feel pain when they were using this gas. He decided to make an experiment on himself. He asked a friend to help him. Wells took some of the gas, and his friend pulled out one of Well's teeth. Wells felt no pain at all. As he didn't know enough about laughing gas, he gave a man less gas than he should have. The man cried out with pain when his tooth was being pulled out. Wells tried again, but this time he gave too much of the gas, and the man died. Wells never forgot this terrible event.6.It is _______ since a man being operated felt all the pain.a few more yearsnot longfew yearstwo thousand years7.Long ago, when the sick man was operated on, he _______ .could feel nothingcould not want anythingcould feel all the paincould do anythinging the laughing gas, the people did not seem to _______ .be afraid of anythingfeel painwant to go to the partiesbe ill9.If a man took less laughing gas than he should have when an operation went on, he _______ .felt nothingfelt very comfortable（舒服的）still felt painwould die10.One who took too much of the laughing gas _______ .would laugh all the timewould diewould never feel painwould be very calm第二部分：阅读理解（共10小题；每小题3分，满分30分）Passage 2Barbara Jordan, one of the most respected lawyers and politicians in the United States, was the first black woman from the South to be elected to Congress.She was born in Houston, Texas, on February 21, 1936.

But sadly researchers have found that most adults will only ever fulfill five of their lifelong ambitions. Many feel they do not have enough time to tick off the experiences， while others admit not being fit or adventurous enough or being too afraid of getting hurt.Becoming a millionaire， traveling the world， seeing the Northern Lights， trekking the Great Wall of China and being mortgage （房贷） free are the top five respectively on the checklist of dreams. Among the other less surprising entries are writing a novel，learning to speak another language， visiting the Egyptian pyramids and running a marathon. But ambitions that might fairly be considered less universal also feature， including travelling around New Zealand in a Winnebago motor home， inventing something that changes people lives， riding a Segway scooter and going to Harry Potter World in Florida. Other boxes to tick range from gambling in Las Vegas， driving down Route 66 in the United States and visiting Disneyland to meeting the Queen， learning to fly a helicopter and emigrating.The list was complied following a study commissioned by outdoor clothing company Helly Hansen of 2，000 adults. More than one third of people surveyed complained that they did not have enough time to achieve their ambition， while 20 percent were worried about injuries. More than a quarter also did not believe they were fit enough to attempt their ultimate goal and 12 percent confessed that they had no ambitions at all. Nearly half also realized that they have to be more adventurous to achieve their ambitions. A spokesperson from Helly Hansen told The Daily Express： It isfantastic to see that so many people still have a passion for taking to the outdoors in order to experience new challenges. But it is a real shame to see that some may not achieve lifelong ambitions because of lack of faith in their own ability. We are only too aware of the positive mental effects and increased confidence associated with physical activity in an outdoor environment. Setting yourself a yearly goal can be a great motivator， whether your goal is to run a marathon， climb a mountain or simply improve your general health and wellbeing.36. According to the survey， which of the following listed the fourth on the checklist of dreams？A. Paying off mortgage.B. Traveling around the world.C. Visiting the Great Wall.D. Paying a visit to the Egyptian pyramids.37. The underlined word “feature” in Paragraph 2 probably means .A. having an important part in sth.B. including a particular person or thingC. writing a special article about sth.D. being a part of ones face38. How many people surveyed admitted that in order to live theirambitions they should have adventures spirits？A. Over one third.B. 20%.C. More than a quarter.D. 50%.39. Whats the best title of the passage？A. The top 50 things people want to do before they die.B. Seven Wonders of the World.C. Most young people will only achieve five of their lifelong ambitions.D. Taking outdoor exercise does good to our health.BA pair of twins studying at Tsinghua University have surprised the online community after a video of one of the sisters presenting her daily schedule during an oral exam for a top scholarship （奖学金） was posted online last October. The schedule shows that she plans her daily activities by the hour， dividing them into class arrangements， learning tasks， and social activities. A review of each day is also included. It seems that the twins sleep only an average of five hours a day.Ma Donghan and Ma Dongxin， 23， both postgraduates （研究生），have been dubbed （戏称）the “Tsinghua twin sister “studyoverlord” （学霸）” on Renren （人人网）， a popular Chinese social networking service website for students. The post about them has received tens of thousands of views. “Someone called me ‘a study god’， but I think it refers to people with great talent who can get good scores with little effort，” said Ma Donghan， a doctoral candidate at the Department of Precision （精密） Instruments and Mechanology （机械学）.Ma Donghan， who had the top average grades in her class at school for three continuous years and scored over 95 in many subjects，said that she first began to make a daily study schedule during the second term at university. She found it hard to adapt to university life and faced difficulties she had not expected. She was at a loss over mechanical graphing （制图）， calculus （微积分）， and other courses. So Ma Donghan learned how to manage time from her sister and designed a detailed schedule for herself. Besides listing her assignments every day， she also wrote down her state of mind after completing them. The twin sisters won Tsinghua Universitys special scholarship in 2011， which is awarded to only five students a year. Ma Donghan recalled that she explained her schedule during the oral exam to demonstrate her learning method. “I didnt expect it would cause such a stir （轰动），” she said. Lots of schools and departments invited Ma Donghan to talk about her learningexperience. But after several talks she realized that what she can do for others is limited. “You need to rely on yourself，” she said.40. According to the text， the twins become famous online because .A. they were both postgraduatesB. Ma Donghan gets a top scholarshipC. Ma Dongxin appears on RenrenD. Ma Donghan shows her daily schedule41. Whats the main idea of the passage？A. Twins lead the wayB. Twins are pedanticC. Twins win 2011 Tsinghua special scholarshipD. Twins pursue their PhD degrees42. Ma Donghans daily activities are divided into parts.A. twoB. threeC. fourD. five43. Which statement is NOT true according to the context？A. Ma Donghan isnt good at mechanical graphing and calculus.B. Ma Donghan was invited to give a speech on her learning experience.C. Ma Dongxin didnt know how to arrange time， so she asked hersister.D. The twin sisters were among the five to get Tsinghua special scholarship in 2011.CMarch is supposed to be a beautiful month. Birds start singing again， trees start showing the first signs of spring， and balmy breezes （和风） blow around street corners. But sadly， thats not all. Flus are common in early spring， pollens （花粉） are getting ready to cause sneezing and stuffy noses， and PM2.5 is still bothering us. This powerful combination makes trouble， so take extra precautions with the right mask.Activated charcoal （活性炭） mask. If you have to stay in a recently painted room， you should consider wearing an activated charcoal mask to protect yourself against formaldehyde （甲醛） and benzol （苯）. Activated charcoal is efficient at taking in such carbonbased matter. Many other chemicals， however， are not attracted to carbon at all. This means that an activated charcoal filter （过滤） will remove certain impurities from the air while missing others. Note also that an activated charcoal mask is no longer effective when all of its “bonding sites” （微孔） are filled. At that point you must replace it with a new one. Particulate respirator （防颗粒物口罩）. The intended use of arespirator is to help reduce the wearers exposure to airborne particles （颗粒物） that could be taken in and enter the human respiratory （呼吸） system. In the US， to qualify as a certified respirator， the mask must be approved by National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health （NIOSH） as to its respiratory protection efficiency. One of the most common respirator masks is NIOSH N95， which filters at least 95 percent of particles with diameters （直径） ranging from 0.1 to 0.3 μm. That means the respirator is effective against dust， pollen and PM2.5.Surgical （医用） mask. Surgical masks are often used to protect the wearer against body fluids （体液） from other people. As flu viruses are spread mainly through droplets （飞沫） when infected people cough， sneeze or talk， experts recommend surgical masks to prevent the spread of the illness. “If youre caring for a family member with influenza， I think a surgical mask is perfectly adequate，” Carol McLay， an infection control consultant， told The New York Times. But surgical masks are not designed to prevent inhalation （吸入） of airborne particles， so they arent as effective in protecting PM2.5 or pollen.44. How many masks are introduced in this article？A. One.B. Two.C. Three.D. Four.45. Which kind of masks is effective against PM2.5？A. Antidusk masks.B. Surgical masks.C. Activated charcoal masks.D. Particulate respirators.46. The best title of the passage should be .A. Beat the pollution bluesB. National Institute for Occupational Safety and HealthC. Fog and haze hung over the eastern part of ChinaD. Different kinds of masks47. “μm” is mentioned in the third paragraph， which is a unit of .A. lengthB. weightC. currencyD. heatDMedical drugs sometimes cause more damage than they cure. One solution to this problem is to put the drugs inside a capsule，protecting them from the body―and the body from them―until they can be released at just the right spot. There are lots of ways to trigger （引发） this release， including changing temperature，acidity， and so on. But triggers can come with their ownrisks―burns， for example. Now， researchers in California havedesigned what could be a harmless trigger to date： shining nearinfrared light （NIR，近红外线） on the drug in the capsule.The idea of using light to liberate the drug in the capsule isnt new. Researchers around the globe have developed polymers （聚合物） and other materials that begin to break down when they absorb cither ultraviolet （UV，紫外线） or visible light. But tissues also readily absorb UV and visible light， which means the drug release can be triggered only near the skin， where the light can reach the capsule. NIR light largely passes through tissues， so researchers have tried to use it as a trigger. But few compounds （化合物） absorb NIR well and go through chemical changes. That changed last year when Adah Almutairi， a chemist at the University of California，San Diego， reported that she and her colleagues had designed a polymer that breaks down when it absorbs NIR light. Their polymer used a commercially available NIRabsorbing group called onitrobenzyl （ONB）. When they catch the light， ONB groups fall off the polymer， leading to its breakdown. But ONB is only a soso NIR absorber， and it could be poisonous to cells when it separates from the polymer.So Almutairi and her colleagues reported creating a new material for capsules thats even better. This one consists of a long chain of compounds called cresol groups linked in a polymer. Cresolcontains reactive （易反应的） components that make it highly unstable in its polymeric form， a feature Almutairi and her colleagues use to their advantage. After polymerizing the cresols，they cap each reactive component with a lightabsorbing compound called Bhc. When the Bhcs absorb NIR light， the reactive groups are exposed and break the long polymer into two short chains. Shining additional light continues this breakdown， potentially releasing any drugs in the capsule. Whats more， Almutairi says， Bhc is 10 times better at absorbing NIR than is ONB and is not poisonous to cells. （2012年江苏C）48. According to the passage， which of the following could be the best trigger？A. Temperature change.B. NIR light.C. Acidity change.D. UV light.49. Why in ONB unsatisfactory？A. It breaks down when it absorbs NIR light.B. It falls off the polymer and triggers drug release.C. It has not come onto the market up till now.D. It is not effective enough and could be poisonous.50. Which word can be used to complete the following processof changes？A. protectedB. formedC. exposedD. combined四、任务型阅读（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格处填入一个最恰当的单词。

第四部分阅读理解Unit 1AThe Bedouin people think most highly of people who show loyalty. To them loyalty does not mean that one is devoted to a country, a place, or a leader. Loyalty means being faithful to one’s family and tribe(部落).The Bedouin people take pride in their ancestors. They do not admire a hero from an ordinary or poor family as much as one who comes from an honored family. They particularly respect those who have received a good name from their ancestors and then have passed it on to their children.A man’s position among the black-tent people depends upon his ancestors, relatives, and fellow tribesmen. If they are honored, he is also honored. If they are disgraced, he too is disgraced. Therefore one carefully guards the honor of his family, his lineage(血统), and his tribe.A man can protect his family’s honor by being brave and generous and by giving protection to those who ask for it. He also guards it by carefully watching the women of his family.A Bedouin woman cannot bring honor to her family, but she can bring disgrace. Even if a woman only looks as if she has done wrong, she may be killed. The honor of her family depends upon her virtue(美德).1.It can be inferred from the passage that a Bedouin man will feel disgraced if he .A. does not succeed in businessB. needs to ask for help from his brothersC. does nothing when a member of his family is badly treatedD. does not help a stranger who asks for assistance2.The Bedouin people respect those who .A. leave their families to seek success on their ownB. value their families more than anything elseC. become heroes with an ordinary family backgroundD. are. devoted to their country3.We can learn from this passage that Bedouin women are .A. treated as the equals of menB. listened to carefully when they tell their side of a storyC. respected for the many things they doD. not respected as much as men4.The word “disgrace” means in this text.A. honorB. dangerC. prideD. shameBThe producer appeared behind the recording studio window and smiled and waved to me like an old friend. And after I had read out a little test piece, he said, “That’s fine, wonderful, your voice is perfect, lovely, wonderful.”Then I read a longer passage in English about the delights of touring in Britain, and another about the delights of visiting London, and both were “excellent”and “just right”, and I began to consider a job in radio.To be honest, I was fairly sure of myself though I lacked experience. Across the room in the Hamburg News Agency where we both worked, a friend named Peter Turner called to me, “I say,Mike, a man on the phone here wants someone to do a recording in English, and I’m booked up. Would you read something to him in English as a sort of test?”I did, and they said, “Perfect, lovely, wonderful,…” Would I come round?It was after reading their passage in English in the studio that they noticed my vowel pronunciations were not altogether King’s English, or even Prince Philip’s, there was a l arger silence than usual, then the voice said: “Fine, lovely…, but you said the word ‘castle’ with a short ‘a’. Could we have the passage again please, but this time say ‘carsele’.”This was easy. But then he noticed other differences in my pronunciation.“It’s my northern English accent,” I said, angry, because I had to apologize for it.“Oh, I see…but Mr. Jamieson, we’ll have to get it right, I’m afraid. The recording is for teaching English to German schoolchildren, and it must be spoken in the way it is taught in German schools.”I read the passage again…and again…and again. But of course you cannot change the pronunciation of a lifetime in an hour. The studio men were in the state of having lost hope and underlined the vowels which caused me to feel ang ry, so that I’d remember them. Few, really. But because I had to concentrate on them, I made a lot of mistakes in my reading. Everyone got somewhat irritable (easily made angry), so we all went out for a beer.5.Broadcasting did not make Mike nervous .A. although he had never done any beforeB. because he worked in a news agencyC. because he was used to talking on the phoneD. although the passages were long6.What happened after Mike had read the third passage?A. They made him repeat it.B. They said nothing.C. They began to discuss the King’s English.D. They could not understand one of the words.7.They wanted Mike to change his pronunciation because .A. German schoolchildren did not like a northern accentB. it was different from the English taught in German schoolsC. it was different from the English spoken in GermanyD. German schoolchildren were taught through recordings8.Why did Mike’s reading of the passage get worse?A. He needed a drink to clear his throat.B. He was trying to do the recording in an hour.C. He was trying hard to get certain sounds right.D. He could not learn so many new sounds.CWe have seen that pesticides now pollute soil, water, and food, and that they have the power to make our rivers fishless and our gardens and woodlands silent and birdless. Man, however much he may like to pretend the opposite, is part of nature. Can he escape a pollution that is now so thoroughly spread throughout our world?We know that even single exposure(暴露) to these chemicals, if the amount is large enough,can cause extremely severe poisoning. But this is not the major problem. The sudden illness or death of farmers, farm workers, and others exposed to enough quantities of pesticides is very sad and should not happen. For the population as a whole, we must pay more attention to the delayed effects of taking in small amounts of the pesticides that unseeably pollute our world.Responsible(负责的) public health officials have pointed out that the biological effects of chemicals are increasing in amount over long periods of time, and that the danger to the man may depend on the amount of the exposures received throughout his lifetime. For these very reasons people easily take no notice of the danger. It is human nature to shake off what may seem to us a future disaster(灾害). “Men are naturally most impressed by diseases which have obvious signs,” says a wise physician, Dr. Rene Dubos, “ yet some of their worst enemies slowly come near them unnoticed.”9.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the sentence “Man, …,is part of nature.”A. Man doesn’t care about what happens in nature.B. Man acts as if he does not belong to nature.C. Man can avoid the effects of environmental pollution.D. Man can escape his responsibilities for environmental protection.10.People are likely to take no notice of the delayed effects of exposure to chemicals because.A. limited exposure to them does little harm to people’s healthB. the present is more important to them than the futureC. the danger does not become seen clearly and immediatelyD. humans are able to bear small amounts of poisoning11.It can be concluded from what Dr Dubos says that .A. people find hidden diseases difficult to deal withB. attacks by hidden enemies are likely to be deadlyC. diseases with obvious signs are easy to cureD. people are likely to take no notice of hidden dangers caused by pesticidesDFor years it has been possible to set up cameras to take pictures of cars as they speed along highways, jump lights or drive too fast down the street.However, even if the pictures are taken automatically(自动地), someone still has to do all the paperwork of sending out fines. But now a British company called EEV has come up with a computerized video system that can do it all automatically.They suggest that all number plates have a bar code as well as the usual number. The bar codes are just stripes of lines like those you see on food packets but bigger. EEV’ s high speed wideo camera system can read a bar-coded number plate even if the car is doing over 100 miles per hour. The computer controlling the system could then use the information from the bar code to find out the name and address of the driver (from the car records), print out the fine and send it off automatically. The inventors also suggest that the system should watch traffic to help catch stolen cars.The new electronic system could be watching everyone that passes the cameras! Many people find the idea that “big brother is watching you” is more of a worry than a few motorists getting away with driving too fast. Besides, some people will be very unhappy to realize that withthe new system the police should find out where a particular car has been.12.The best title for the article can be .A. People Who Drive Too FastB. Stop People from Driving Too FastC.EEV and the Police SystemD.A New Computerized System for Motoring Breaking Law13.The former camera used by the traffic police system is to .A. take pictures of cars on highwaysB. send fines to fast motoristsC. catch cars breaking traffic rulesD. make the traffic system fully automatic14.The newly-invented system works much better with the aid of .A. car number platesB. car speeding recordsC. bar code numbers on number platesD. print-out fines15.An additional purpose of the new system is that it could .A. help catch stolen carsB. add code numbersC. watch everyone who drives too fastD. print out bar codes automatically16. “‘Big brother is watching you’is more of a worry than…”means that many people .A. are more worried about fast-driving motorists than being watched onB. find “big brothers” more worrying than motoristsC. are more worried about being watched on than about fast-driving motoristsD. find motorists more worried than “big brothers”ELooking back on my childhood, I realize that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were all brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon gave up their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic. Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the unclear memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a clear memory of the dogs, the farm animals, the local birds, and above all, the insects.I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world and my eagerness has led me into varied studies or research. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other people’s observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my sensible mind. Suddenly you imagine you see the answer to the puzzling question, because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books, which some might honor with the title of scientific research.But curiously, a sharp eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant worlds do not make a scientist; one of the best-known and important qualities required is self-training, aquality I lack. A scientist requires not only self-discipline but hard training, determination and a goal. A scientist, up to a point, can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both.17.The first paragraph tells us the author .A. was interested in flowers and insects in his childhoodB. lost his hearing when he was a childC. didn’t like his brothers and sistersD. was born to a naturalist’s family18.The author can’t remember his relatives clearly because .A. he didn’t live very long with themB. the family was extremely largeC. he was too young when he lived with themD. he was fully busy with observing nature19.It can be inferred from the passage that the author was .A. a scientist as well as a naturalistB. a naturalist as well as a scientistC. no more than a born naturalistD. first of all a scientist20.The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he.A. has great deal of trouble doing mental arithmeticB. lacks some of the qualities required of a scientistC. just reads about other people’s observations and discoveriesD. comes up with answers in a most natural wayUnit 2AAfter giving a talk at a high school, I was asked to pay a visit to a special student. An illness had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me, and it would mean a great deal to him. I agreed.During the nine-mile drive to his home, I found out something about Matthew. He had muscular dystrophy（肌肉萎缩症）.When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to see five, then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew about overcoming obstacles and going for my dreams.I spent over and hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain or ask, “Why me?”He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Obviously, he knew what he was talking about. He didn’t mention tha t his classmates had made fun of him because he was different. He just talked about his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weight with me.When we finished talking, I went to my briefcase and pulled out the first gold medal I won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming obstacles than I ever would. He looked at it for a moment, then took it off andhanded it back to me. He said, “You are a champion. You earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.”Last summer I received a letter from Matthew’s parents telling me that Matthew had passed away. They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before: Dear Rick,My mom said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me. I also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that I don’t have long to live anymore. But I still smile as much as I can.I told you someday I was going to the Olympics and win a gold medal. But I know now I will never get to do that. But I know I’m a champion, and God knows that too. When I get to Heaven, God will give me my medal and when you get there, I will show it to you. Thank you for loving me.Your friend,Matthew1.The boy wanted to meet the author because .A. he was interested in weight liftingB. he wanted to get a gold medalC. he admired the author very muchD. he wanted the author to know him2.The underlined part in the third paragrap h probably means”.”A. Why do you come to see me?B. Why do I have to stay at home?C. Why does the disease fall on meD. Why not give a gold medal to me3.We can infer from the passage that .A. Matthew is a determined boyB.

I know this from personal experience.E－mail makes it easy to work at home, which is where I now spend most weekends and evenings. My working hours aren't necessarily much shorter than they once were but I spend fewer of them at the office. This lets me share more time with my young daughter than I mighthave if she'd been born before electronic mail became such a practical tool.The Internet also makes it easy to share thoughts with a group of friends. Say you do something fun—see a great movie perhaps—and there are four or five friends who might want to hear about it. If you call each one, you may tire of telling the story.With E－mail, you just write one note about your experience, at your convenience, and address it to all the friends you think might be interested. They can read your message when they have time, and read only as much as they want to. They can reply at their convenience, and you can read what they have to say at your convenience.E－mail is also an inexpensive way stay in close touch with people who live far away. More than a few parents use E－mail to keep in touch, even daily touch, with their children off at college.We just have to keep in mind that computers and the Internet offer another way of staying in touch. They don't eliminate(排除) any of the old ways.5. The purpose of this passage is to .A. explain how to use the InternetB. describe the writer's joy of keeping up with the latest technologyC. tell the merits(价值) and usefulness of the InternetD. introduce the reader to basic knowledge about personal computers and the Internet6. The use of E－mail has made it possible for the writer to .A. spend less time workingB. have more free time with his childC. work at home on weekendsD. work at a speed comfortable to him7. According to the writer, E－mail has an obvious advantage over the telephone because the former helps one .A. reach a group of people at one time convenientlyB. keep one's communication as personal as possibleC. pass on much more information than the laterD. get in touch with one's friends faster than the laterCChinese basketball players have never been so close to the NBA before but questions remain about how they will adjust to life in the NBA if they go.Wang Zhizhi, the 2.16-metre center for the Bayi Rockets who was chosen by the Dallas Mavericks two years ago, has finally received permission from authorities to travel to Dallas to play for the rest of the NBA season after he finishes playing in the Chinese Basketball Association’s finals on March 25th.If he has no problems with his visa（签证），Wang will be the NBA’s first Asian player Wang was chosen by the Mavericks in the second round of the 1999 draft but the Rockets, and army-run club, refused to let him go. After negotiations（谈判）between the Rockets and NBA representatives （代表）,the decision was made to allow Wang the chance to try his hand at American basketball, but only for a period of short time. He has to be back to play in the Ninth National Games in November in Guangzhou.Another center who has attracted attention from the NBA is Yao Ming, the 2.25-meter star who has led to the Shanghai Sharks into the finals fight with the Rockets this year. The20-year-old’s NBA dreams might be harder to realize.Yao is the center of the Sharks and the club’s manager Bei Genyuan has said that he would allow Yao to go only at a proper time, for a proper team and under proper conditions.Yao hasn’t been chosen yet and it is unlikely that he will be any time soon. People in the Shark’s front office earlier told members of the press that“it is not p roper for Yao to attend the draft this year” because he has to represent Shanghai in the Ninth National Games.Even if Wang and Yao make it to the promised land of basketball at last, analysts on both sides of the Pacific have said the NBA road will be a long one for both of them. Besides needing to work on their upper body strength, Wang and Yao will also have to adapt（适应）to the speed, techniques and above all, culture of the NBA.8.Yao Ming has attracted attention from NBA becauseA. he is 2.25 metres tall, who is the tallest basketball player in ChinaB. he is the center of the Shanghai Sharks and has led Sharks into the final fight with the RocketsC. he is regarded as the best basketball player in ChinaD. he is thought highly of in the international world9.Yao Ming can play for NBA if .A. there is no problem with his visaB.NBA agrees to supply favorable conditions for himC. time and conditions are properD.NBA can pay a large sum of money for Sharks10.The underlined phrase “try his hand” in the passage probably meansA.初试身手B.碰碰运气C.成为一员D.为其效劳11.NBA chose Wang Zhizhi so that .A. it can show NBA need talentsB.

Spring was born in England in 1813 and arrived in Philadelphia in 1858 to open a bookstore. At first he prospered（兴旺）by selling his small but genuine（名符其实的）collection of early U.S autographs Discovering his ability at copying handwriting, he began imitating signatures of George Washington and Benjamin Franklin and writing them on the title pages of old books. To lessen the chance of detection, he sent his forgeries to England and Canada for sale and circulation.Forgers have a hard time selling their products. A forger can’t approach a respectable buyer but must deal with people who don’t have much knowledge in the field. Forgers have many ways to make their work look real. For example, they buy old books to use the aged title page, and they can treat paper and ink with chemicals.In Spring’s time,right after the Civil War, Britain was still fond of the Southern states, so Spring invented a respectable maiden lady known as Miss Fanny Jackson, the only daughter of General “Stone Wall” Jackson. For several years Miss Fanny’s financial problems forced her to sell a great number of letters and manuscripts（手稿）belonging to her famous father. Spring had to work very hard to satisfy the demand.13.Why did Spring sell his false autographs in England and Canada?A. There was a greater demand there than in America.B.

The only daughter of General “Stone wall” Jackson.B.A little-known girl who sold her father’s papers to Robert Spring.C. Robert Spring’s daughter.D. An imaginary person created by Robert Spring.EPerhaps the most famous theory, the study of body movement, was suggested by Professor Ray Birdwhistell. He believes that physical appearance is often culturally programmed. In other words, we learn our looks—we are not born with them. A baby has generally informed face features. A baby, according to Birdwhistell, learns where to set the eyebrows by looking at those around-family and friends. This helps explain why the people of some areas of the United States look so much alike, new Englanders or Southerners have certain common face features that cannot be explained by genetics(遗传学). The exact shape of the mouth is not set at birth, it is learned after. In fact, the final mouth shape is not formed until well after new teeth are set. For many, this can be well into grown-ups. A husband and wife together for a long time often come to look alike.We learn our looks from those around us. This is perhaps why in a single country area where people smile more than those in other areas. In the United States, for example, the South is the part of the country where the people smile most frequently. In New England they smile less, andin the western part of New York States still less. Many southerners find cities such as New York cold and unfriendly, partly because people on Madison Avenue smile less than people on Peachtree Street in Atlanta. Georgia. People in Atlanta, Georgia. People in largely populated areas also smile and greet each other in public less than people in small towns do.17. Ray Birdwhistell believes that physical appearance ______.A. has little to do with cultureB. has much to do with cultureC. is ever changingD. is different from place to place18.According to the passage, the final mouth shape is formed _________.A. before birthB. as soon as one’s teeth are n ewly setC. sometime after new teeth are setD. around 15 years old19.Ray Birdwhistell can tell what area of the United States a person is from by _______.A. how much he or she laughsB. how he or she raises his or her eyebrowsC. what he or she likes bestD. the way he or she talks20.This passage might have been taken out of a book dealing with _____.A. physicsB. chemistryC. biologyD. none of the aboveUnit 3AFive years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict,” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled.” Today David wears casual clothes –khaki pants and sports shirt –to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I’m working harder than ever,” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.”More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work. In the United States. The change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday (but only on Friday). This became known as “dress-down Friday” of “casual Friday.” “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing.” said business consultant Maisly Jones.Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code. “A lot of young people don’t want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe thatcasual dress improves employee morale. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative impact on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”1.David Smith refers to himself as havi ng been “a clothes addict,” because.A. he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirtB. he couldn’t stand a clean appearanceC. he wanted his clothes to look neat all the timeD. he didn’t want to spend much money on clothes2.David Smith wears casual clothes now, because .A. they make him feel at ease when workingB.he cannot afford to buy expensive clothesC.he looks handsome in casual clothesD.he no longer works for any company3.According to this passage, which of the following statements is FALSE?A.

S. are for casual office wear.4.According to this passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Company workers started to dress down about twenty years ago.B. Dress-down has become an everyday phenomenon since the early 90s.C. “Dress-down Friday” was first given as a favor from employers.D. Many workers want to wear casual clothes to impress people.5.In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned EXCEPT .A. saving employees’ moneyB. making employees more attractiveC. improving empl oyees’ motivationD. making employees happierBA person, like a commodity needs packaging. But going too far is absolutely undesirable. A little exaggeration, however, does no harm when it shows the person’s unique qualities to their advantages. To show personal attractiveness in a casual and natural way, it is important for one to have a clear knowledge of oneself. A skilled packager knows how to add art to nature without any signs of embellishment (装饰), so that the person so packaged is not a commodity but a human being, lively and lovely.A young person, especially a female, shining with beauty and full of life, has all the favor granted by God. Any attempt to make up would be self-defeating. Youth, however, comes and goes in a flash. Packaging for the middle-aged is primarily to hide the marks made by years. If you still enjoy life enough to keep self-confidence and work at pioneering work, you are unique in your natural qualities, and your attractiveness and grace will remain. Elderly people are beautiful if their river of life has been, through plains, mountains and jungles, running its course as it should.。
