When she was six，Alexia began to learn Chinese.The girl is now learning German at school in Cambridge.Alexia has been longing to be an interpreter since she was six and she chose to go to the European Parlia-ment as her prize when she won a young achiever of the year award.She asked if she could shadow interpreters and Mr.Sturdy agreed to take her along as his guest.Alexia worked with the head of interpreting and had a real taste o life in parliament.“It was fantastic and I’m absolutely determined now to become an inter-preter”，she said.36.What does the passage tell about Alexia Sloane？A.She is very proud of her parents.B.She is a quick learner of languages.C.She has learned five foreign languages.D.She has difficulties with language learning.37.Why did Alexia need special permission to enter the parliament building？A.She was not in a state of good health.B.She did not meet the age requirement.C.She could not afford the admission fees.D.She did not have an adult to accompany her.38.What did Alexia want to do after she got the award？A.To visit the European Parliament.B.To travel to other European countries.C.To apply for a position in the government.D.To study German at Cambridge University.39.The tone of the passage can be best described as.A.admiringB.criticalC.understandingD.doubtfulPassage TwoGenerations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is essential to one’s life. Eating breakfast at the start of the day，we have been told，and told again，is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.But for many peo-ple，the thought of food as the first thing in the morning is never a pleasure.So despite all the efforts，they still take no breakfast.Between1977and1983，the latest year for which figures could be obtained，the number of people who didn’t have breakfast increased by33%-from8.8mil-lion to11.7million-according to the Chicago-based Market Research Corporation of America.For those who dislike eating breakfast，however，there is some good news.Several studies in the last few years have shown that，for adults especially，there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast.“Going without breakfast does not affect work,”said Arnold E.Bender，former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London，“nor does giving people breakfast improve work.”Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better work is surprisingly inadequate（不充分的），and most of the recent work involves children，not adults.“The litera-ture,”says one researcher，Dr.Earnest Polite at the Uni-versity of Texas，“is poor.”40.Which of these is mentioned in the second paragraph？A.8.8million people got involved in a study on eat-ing habits.B.Many people fill their cars with gasoline in the morning.C.A company carried out a research in1983.D.The number of the people who skip breakfast has increased.41.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined part？A.Having breakfast does improve work.B.Giving people breakfast improves work.C.Going without breakfast can improve work，too.D.Having breakfast does not improve work，either.42.What does the word“literature”in the last sen-tence refer to？A.Modern American literature.B.Written works on a subject.C.Any printed materials.D.Stories，poems and plays.43.Which of the following statements best summa-rizes the writer’s conclusion about the function of breakfast？A.Omitting breakfast helps improve work.B.Eating breakfast is absolutely necessary.C.There isn’t strong evidence to prove that break-fast is a must.D.Scientists have produced sufficient evidence in support of breakfast.Passage Three44.What can we learn from the second advertisement？A.It is easy to get a suntan in summer.B.Sunlight could make one look older.C.Suntan is regarded as a sign of protection.D.Everyone wants to get a suntan from holiday.45.Why is suitable for everyone?A.Its price is more attractive.B.It can be used to relieve sunburn.C.It has a mild protection factor.D.It can make the skin cells more active.pared with，Bergasol.A.is a better sun tan oil.B.better protects one’s skin.C.is more competitive in price.D.helps one go brown more quickly.47.What is the most attractive feature of？A.It helps one get a more beautiful tan.B.It is often on sale in supermarkets.C.It helps one tan gradually and gently.D.It blocks out more sun’s rays than other oils.Passage FourIdeas about polite behaviour differ from one culture to another.Some societies，such as America and Aus-tralia，for example，are mobile and very open.People here change jobs and move house quite often.As a result，they have a lot of relationships that often last only a short time，and they need to get to know people quickly.So it’s normal to have friendly conversations with people that they have just met，and you can talk about things that other cultures would regard as personal.On the other hand，there are more crowded and less mobile societies where long-term relationships are more important.A Malaysian or Mexican business person，for example，will want to get to know you very well before he or she feels happy to start business.But when you do get to know each other，the relationship becomes much deeper than it would in a mobile society.To Americans，both Europeans and Asians seem cool and formal at first.On the other hand，as a passenger from a less mobile society puts it，it’s no fun spending several hours next to a stranger who wants to tell you all about his or her life and asks you all sorts of questions that you don’t want to answer.Cross-cultural differences aren’t just a problem for travelers，but also for people in daily life.Some societies have“universalist”cultures.These societies strongly re-spect rules，and they treat very person and situation in basically the same way.“Particularist”（强调特性）so-cieties also have rules，but they are less important than the society’s unwritten ideas about what is right or wrong for a particular situation or a particular person.So the normal rules are changed to fit the needs of the situ-ation or the importance of the person.48.What can be learned from Paragraph1？A.Short-term relationships are common in a mo-bile society.B.People from a mobile society dislike talking about personal affairs.C.Americans tend to make more friends than peo-ple from other cultures.D.It is difficult for Americans and Australians to communicate with strangers.49.Who do Malaysians prefer to start business with according to the passage？A.Those who they know well enough.B.Those who talk a lot about themselves.C.Those who enjoy talking with strangers.D.Those who want to do business with them.50.Which of the following is true about the rules in “particularist”societies？A.They don’t exist.B.People respect and obey them completely.C.No one obeys them.D.They change to fit different situations.51.What is the main idea of this passage？A.Cultural differences are important.B.Less mobile societies have fewer rules.C.People from mobile societies are more polite.D.Polite behaviour varies with different cultures.Passage FiveClaude-Oscar Monet（1840-1926）was a French artist and a leading member of the Impressionist group of painters.Born in Paris，Monet spent his childhood in Le Havre.There he met a local artist，Eugene Boudin，who encouraged him to become a landscape painter.In1859，Monet went to Paris to study at the A-cademie Suisse.Between1860and1862，Monet served in the army in Algeria（阿尔及利亚）.He returned to Paris where he met most of the major artists of the era.In1870，Monet married Camille Doncieux.To es-cape the Franco-Prussian war，they moved to London. Back to France，they settled at Argenteuil，a boating centre on the Seine（塞纳河）which drew many other Impressionist painters.Working from nature was a par-ticular symbol of the Impressionist movement，and one that Monet valued，reflecting in his paintings the ev-er-changing impact of light and weather conditions.In1872，he visited Le Havre where he painted“An Impression，Sunrise”.When exhibited in1874，part of its title was used by a critic to label the whole movement “Impressionism”.Monet’s wife died in1879，and he set up home with Alice Hoschede，the wife of one of his most impor-tant sponsors.During the1880s，Monet travelled through France painting a variety of landscapes.He gradually be-came better known and for the last30years of his life he was regarded as the greatest of the ImpressionistsFrom1890he began to paint a series（系列）of pic-tures of one subject，including“Haystacks”，“Rouen Cathedral”and“Waterlilies”.The latter were painted in the fine garden Monet created at his house at Giverny，where he lived from1883on.He painted them over and over again，most significantly in a series especially for a museum in Paris.52.Monet was introduced to art.A.during his visit to ParisB.by his father in Le HavreC.during his short stay in AlgeriaD.by an artist in his childhood53.Which of the following is true according to the passage？A.Impressionism was born in London.B.Monet was one of the sponsors of lmpressiorusm.C.Impressionist paintings are mainly based on na-ture.D.Argenteuil was the birthplace of many impres-sionists.54.What is said about the painting“An Impres-sion，Sunrise”？A.It established Monet’s fame as an artist for the first time.B.It invited a lot of strong criticism from the public.C.It was the origin of the name“Impressionism”.D.It was painted by Monet and Eugene Boudin.55.What do we know about Monet’s life since 1890?A.He painted only for a museum in Paris.B.He devoted himself to travelling overseas.C.He focused on paintings of a particular theme.D.He was influenced by Alice in his painting style.V.Daily Conversation（15points）Directions:Pick out appropriate expressions from the eight choices below and complete the following dialogue.Lisa:Well，honey，how did you like the opera？Henry:56？Lisa:Of course.Henry:To tell the truth，I was bored to death.What a ridiculous art form!57.Lisa:Hum!58？It was beautiful.And you just saw one of my favourite operasHenry:59，dear.I know you like opera，but it just isn’t for me.I’d rather read a novel or watch a movie.Lisa:But you don’t know how to appreciate opera 60.Henry：OK，what you’re saying may be true.VI.Writing（25points）Directions:For this part，you are supposed to write an essay in English in100~120words based on the following information.Remember to write it clearly.61.你（Li Yuan）是班长，准备周末组织全班同学参观历史博物馆（the Museum of History）。

The tone of the passage can be best described as.A.admiringB.criticalC.understandingD.doubtfulPassage TwoGenerations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is essential to on e’s life. Eating breakfast at the start of the day，we have been told，and told again，is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.But for many people，the thought of food as the first thing in the morning is never a pleasure.So despite all the efforts，they still take no breakfast.Between 1977 and 1983，the latest year for which figures could be obtained，the number of people who didn’t have breakfast increased by 33%-from 8.8 million to 11.7 million-according to the Chicago-based Market Research Corporation of America.For those who dislike eating breakfast，however，there is some good news.Several studies in the last few years have shown that，for adults especially，there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast.“Going without breakfast does not affect work，”said Arnold E.Bender，former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London，“nor does giving people breakfast improve work.”Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better work is surprisingly inadequate（不充分的），and most of the recent work involves children，not adults.“The literature，”says one researcher，Dr.Earnest Polite at the University of Texas，“is poor.”40.Which of these is mentioned in the second paragraph？A.8.8 million people got involved in a study on eating habits.B.Many people fill their cars with gasoline in the morning.C.A company carried out a research in 1983.D.The number of the people who skip breakfast has increased.41.Which is closest in meaning to the underlined part？A.Having breakfast does improve work.B.Giving people breakfast improves work.C.Going without breakfast can improve work，too.D.Having breakfast does not improve work，either.42.What does the word“literature”in the last sentence refer to？A.Modern American literature.B.Written works on a subject.C.Any printed materials.D.Stories，poems and plays.43.Which of the following statements best summarizes the writer’s conclusion about the function of breakfast？A.Omitting breakfast helps improve work.B.Eating breakfast is absolutely necessary.C.There isn’t strong evidence to prove that breakfast is a mus t.D.Scientists have produced sufficient evidence in support of breakfast. Passage Three44.What can we learn from the second advertisement？A. It is easy to get a suntan in summer.B.Sunlight could make one look older.C.Suntan is regarded as a sign of protection.D.Everyone wants to get a suntan from holiday.45.Why issuitable for everyone？A.Its price is more attractive.B.It can be used to relieve sunburn.C.It has a mild protection factor.D.It can make the skin cells more active. pared with，Bergasol. A.is a better sun tan oil.B.better protects one’s skin.C.is more competitive in price.D.helps one go brown more quickly.A.It helps one get a more beautiful tan.B.It is often on sale in supermarkets.C.It helps one tan gradually and gently.D.It blocks out more sun’s rays than other oils.Passage FourIdeas about polite behaviour differ from one culture to another.Some societies，such as America and Aus-tralia，for example，are mobile and very open.People here change jobs and move house quite often.As a result，they have a lot of relationships that often last only a short time，and they need to get to know people quickly.So it’s normal to have friendly conversations with people that they have just met，and you can talk about things that other cultures would regard as personal.On the other hand，there are more crowded and less mobile societies where long-term relationships are more important.A Malaysian or Mexican business person，for example，will wantto get to know you very well before he or she feels happy to start business.But when you do get to know each other，the relationship becomes much deeper than it would in a mobile society.To Americans，both Europeans and Asians seem cool and formal at first.On the other hand，as a passenger from a less mobile society puts it，it’s no fun spending several hours next to a stranger who wants to te ll you all about his or her life and asks you all sorts of questions that you don’t want to answer.Cross-cultural differences aren’t just a problem for travelers，but also for people in daily life. Some societies have“universalist”cultures.These so cieties strongly respect rules，and they treat very person and situation in basically the same way.“Particularist”（強调特性）societies also have rules，but they are less important than the society’s unwritten ideas about what is right or wrong for a particular situation or a particular person.So the normal rules are changed to fit the needs of the situation or the importance of the person.48. What can be learned from Paragraph 1？A. Short-term relationships are common in a mobile society.B. People from a mobile society dislike talking about personal affairs.C. Americans tend to make more friends than people from other cultures.D. It is difficult for Americans and Australians to communicate with strangers.49. Who do Malaysians prefer to start business with according to the passage？A. Those who they know well enough.B. Those who talk a lot about themselves.C. Those who enjoy talking with strangers.D. Those who want to do business with them.50. Which of the following is true about the rules in“particularist”societies？A. They don’t exist.B. People respect and obey them completely.C. No one obeys them.D. They change to fit different situations.51. What is the main idea of this passage？A. Cultural differences are important.B. Less mobile societies have fewer rules.C. People from mobile societies are more polite.D. Polite behaviour varies with different cultures.Passage FiveClaude-Oscar Monet（1840-1926）was a French artist and a leading member of the Impressionist group of painters.Born in Paris，Monet spent his childhood in Le Havre.There he met a local artist，Eugene Boudin，who encouraged him to become a landscape painter.In 1859，Monet went to Paris to study at the Academie Suisse.Between 1860 and 1862，Monet served in the army in Algeria（阿爾及利亚）.He returned to Paris where he met most of the major artists of the era.In 1870，Monet married Camille Doncieux.To escape the Franco-Prussian war，they moved to London. Back to France，they settled at Argenteuil，a boating centre on the Seine（塞纳河）which drew many other Impressionist painters.Working from nature was a particular symbol of the Impressionist movement，and one that Monet valued，reflecting in his paintings the ever-changing impact of light and weather conditions.In 1872，he visited Le Havre where he painted“An Impression，Sunrise”.When exhibited in 1874，part of its t itle was used by a critic to label the whole movement“Impressionism”.Monet’s wife died in 1879，and he set up home with Alice Hoschede，the wife of one of his most important sponsors.During the 1880s，Monet travelled through France painting a variety of landscapes.He gradually became better known and for the last 30 years of his life he was regarded as the greatest of the ImpressionistsFrom 1890 he began to paint a series（系列）of pictures of one subject，including“Haystacks”，“Rouen Cathedral”and“Waterlilies”.The latter were painted in the fine garden Monet created at his house at Giverny，where he lived from 1883 on.He painted them over and over again，most significantly in a series especially for a museum in Paris.52. Monet was introduced to art.A. during his visit to ParisB. by his father in Le HavreC. during his short stay in AlgeriaD. by an artist in his childhood53. Which of the following is true according to the passage？A. Impressionism was born in London.B. Monet was one of the sponsors of lmpressiorusm.C. Impressionist paintings are mainly based on nature.D. Argenteuil was the birthplace of many impressionists.54. What is said about the painting“An Impression，Sunrise”？A. It established Monet’s fame as an artist for the first time.B. It invited a lot of strong criticism from the public.C. It was the origin of the name“Impressionism”.D. It was painted by Monet and Eugene Boudin.55. What do we know about Monet’s life since 1890？A. He painted only for a museum in Paris.B. He devoted himself to travelling overseas.C. He focused on paintings of a particular theme.D. He was influenced by Alice in his painting style.V.

That's the way most parents are living their lives, no weekends of their own, no time to visit friends, not even a chance of promotion in their jobs.Asking help from their parents might be a way out,but problems are that some aging parents arc not strong enough to take care of the kids, and that the kids may also become too spoiled by their grandparents.Then, here comes a solution: families with kids can form a small group, and parents of each family can take turns to look after all the kids in this group on weekends. Thus, other parents can have some quiet time and feel free to do something they've been planning for a long time. At the same time, the kids can make new friends and won' t be hanging around their parents all day long. This is baby-pooling.61.Many post-80s couples can't go to the movies, shop or attend parties because_____ .A .they have to look after their kids B. they have to look after their parentsC. they are busy with their workD. they have no money62.In paragraph 2, “a way out” means ______ .A. out of dateB. a solutionC. without questionD. a complaint63.According to the last paragraph, the solution to the problem of post-80s couples isthat _____ .A. families with kids form a small groupB. they ask their aging parents for helpC. they give up their jobsD. they lake their kids wherever they go64.What is( are) the advantage(s) of baby-pooling?A.The parents can have much more free time.B.The kids can make new friends.C.The kids won't be hanging around their parents all day long.D. All of the above.65.The passage mainly discusses _____ ?A. post-80s couples and their friendsB. post-80s couples and baby-poolingC. post-80s couples and their parentsD. kids and their grandparentsPassage2It is a terrible illustration of man ' s weakness to nature .and the tsunami(^^) that struck the Japanese coast in March. 2011 has illustrated the difficulty of fighting against natural disasters, even for a prosperous nation.Totally preventing tsunami-damage is impossible. But there is much that can be done to minimizedamage and loss of life. Measures that can be taken include designing solid buildings, and developing early-warming systems, public education programs and evacuation( 拔散）strategics.Moreover, the approach of a tsunami is possibly picked up by the sensors of complicated international warming systems. Countries can use radio and television broadcasts as well as loudspeaker networks to warn the public.But an early warming system depends on how far the tsunami strikes, if it's close by, the warning system is not going to be very effective. When people are faced with an unstoppable force like a tsunami the massive waves created by events like underwater earthquakes, the best course of action for them is lo get inland and to the higher ground as quickly as possible.66.The first paragraph tells us that _____ .A.man can easily defeat the natureB.tsunamis take place only in JapanC.man's ability to cope with natural disasters is limitedD.the tsunami-damage in Japan is not so terrible67.To prevent tsunami-damage, the following measures can be taken EXCEPT______A.designing firm buildings 、B.developing early-warning systemsC.developing evacuation strategicsD.keeping the public unaware of the seriousness of tsunamis68.According to the passage , which of the following can cause a tsunami_____?A.

Floods69.When a tsunami happens, the best course of action for people is to_____ .A.listen to radio and television broadcasts for informationB.get inland and to the higher ground as quickly as possibleC.stay where they areD.rely on the warning systemsPassage 3Global warming is causing more than 300,000 deaths and about $125 billion in economic losses each year, according to a report by the Global Humanitarian Forum, an organization led by Annan, the former United Nations secretary general.The report, to be released Friday, analyzed data and existing studies of health, disaster,population and economic trends. It found that human-influenced climate change was raising the global death rates from illnesses including malnutrition (营养不良）and heal-related health problems.But even before its release, the report drew criticism from some experts on climate and risk,who questioned its methods and conclusions.Along with the deaths, the report said that the lives of 325 million people, primarily in poor countries, were being seriously affected by climate change. It projected that the number would double by 2030.Roger Pielke Jr.a political scientist at the University of Colorado, Boulder, who studies disaster trends, said the Forum's report was “a methodological embarrassment” because there was no way to distinguish deaths or economic losses related to human-driven global warming amid the much larger losses resulting from the growth in populations and economic development in vulnerable (易受伤害的)regions. Dr. Pielke said that “climate change is an important problem requiring our utmost attention. “But the report, he said, ''will harm the cause for action on both climate change and disasters because it is so deeply flawed (有瑕疵的).”However, Soren Andreasen, a social scientist at Dalberg Global Development Partners who supervised the writing of the report, defended it, saying that it was clear that the numbers were rough estimates. He said the report was aimed at world leaders, who will meet in Copenhagenin December to negotiate a new international climate treaty.In a press release describing the report, Mr. Annan stressed the need for the negotiationsto focus on increasing the flow of money from rich to poor regions to help reduce their vulnerabilityto climate hazards while still curbing the emissions of the heat-trapping gases. More than 90%of the human and economic losses from climate change arc occurring in poor countries, accordingto the report.71. What is the finding of the Global Humanitarian Forum?A. Global temperatures affect the rate of economic development.B.Rates of death from illnesses have risen due to global warming.C.Malnutrition has caused serious health problems in poor countries.D.Economic trends have to do with population and natural disasters.72. What do we learn about the Forum's report from the passage?A.It was challenged by some climate and risk experts.B.It aroused a lot of interest in the scientific circles.C.It was warmly received by environmentalists.D.It caused a big stir in developing countries.73.What does Dr. Pielke say about the Forum's report?A.Its statistics look embarrassing.B.It is invalid in terms of methodology.C.It deserves our closest attention.D.Its conclusion is purposely exaggerated.74.What is Soren Andreasen’s view of the report?A. Its conclusions are based on carefully collected data.B. It is vulnerable to criticism if the statistics are closely examined.C. It will give rise to heated discussions at the Copenhagen conference.D. Its rough estimates arc meant to draw the attention of world leaders.75. What does Kofi Annan say should be the focus of the Copenhagen conference?A. How rich and poor regions can share responsibility in curbing global warming.B. How human and economic losses from climate change can be reduced.C.How emissions of heat-trapping gases can be reduced on a global scale.D.How rich countries can better help poor regions reduce climate hazards.Passage 4Reaching new peaks of popularity in North America is Iceberg Water, which is harvested from icebergs off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.Arthur von Wiesenberger, who carries the title Water Master, is one of the few water critics in North America. As a boy, he spent time in the larger cities of Italy, France and Switzerland,where bottled water is consumed daily. Even then, he kept a water journal, noting the brands he liked best “my dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water,” He says.But is plain tap water all that bad? Not at all. In fact. New York's municipal water for morethan a century was called the champagne of lap water and until recently considered among the best in the world in terms of both taste and purity. Similarly, a magazine in England found that tap water from the Thames River tasted better than several leading brands of bottled water that were400 times more expensive.Nevertheless, soft-drink companies view bottled water as the next battle-ground for market share-this despite the fact that over 25 percent of bottled water comes from tap water: PepsiCo's Aquafina and Coca-Cola's Dasani arc both purified tap water rather than spring water. As diners thirst for leading brands, bottlers and restaurateurs salivate(垂涎)over the profits.A restaurant's typical mark-up on wine is 100 to 150 percent, whereas on bottled water it's often 300 to 500 percent. But since water is much cheaper than wine, and many of the fancier brands aren't available in stores, most diners don't notice or care.As a result, some restaurants are turning up the pressure to sen bottled water.According to an article in The Street Journal, some of the more shameless tactics include placing attractive bottles on the table for a visual sell, listing brands on the menu without prices, and pouring bottled water without even asking the diners if they want it.Regardless of how it’s sold, the popularity of bottled whaler taps into our desire for better health, our wish to appear cultivated, and even a longing for lost purity.76.What do we know about Iceberg Water from the passage?A.lt is a kind of iced water.B.It is just plain tap water.C .It is a kind of bottled water.D .It is a kind of mineral water.77.By saying “My dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water (Line 4 Para2),Von Wiesenberger wants to convey the message that_____?A .plain tap whaler is certainly unfit for drinkingB .bottled water is clearly superior to tap waterC.bottled water often appeals more to dogs tasteD.dogs can usually detect a fine difference in taste78.The-fancier brands (Line 3 Para 5) refers to____.A.tap water from the Thames RiverB.famous wines not sold in ordinary storesC.PepsiCo's Aquafina and Coca-Cola's DasaniD.expensive bottled water with impressive names79.Why are some restaurants turning up the pressure to sell bottled water?A. Bottled water brings in huge profits.B. Competition from the wine industry is intense.C. Most diners find bottled water affordable.D.Bottled water satisfied diners' desire to fashionable.80.According to passage, why is bottled whaler so popular?A. It is much cheaper than wine.B.It is considered healthier.C. lt appeals to more cultivated people.D. It is more widely promoted in the market.PartⅣ Translation ( 2 x 10 )Directions: There are 10 sentences in this section.

For each of them there are four choices marked A),B),C) and D), You should decide on the best choice.Passage 1Taste is such a subjective matter that we don' tusually conduct preference tests for food. The most you can say about anyone reference is ' that it ' one person ' opinion. But because the two big cola companies---Coca-Ccla and Pepsi Cola---are marketed so aggressivelwe ve wondered how big a role taste preference actually plays in brand loyalty. We set up a taste test that challenged people who identified themselves as either Coca-Cola or Pepsi fans: Find your brand in a blind tasting.We invited staff volunteers who had a strong liking for either Coca-Cola Classicor Pepsi, Diet Coke, or Diet Pepsi. These were people who thought they ' d have notroubt e lling their brand from the other brand.We eventually located 19 regular cola drinkers and 27 diet cola drinkers. Then we fed them four unidentified samples of cola one at a time, regular colas for the one group, diet versions for the other. We asked them to tell us whether each sample was Coke or Pepsi; then we analyzed the records statistically to compare the Participants choices witK what mere guesswork could have accomplished.Getting all four samples right was a tough test, but not too tough, we thought,for people who believed they could recognize their brand. In the end, only 7 out of 19regular cola drinkers correctly identified their brand of choice in all four trials. The diet-cola drinkers did a little worse---only 7 out of 27 identified all four samples correctly.While both groups did better than chance would predict, nearly half theparticipants in each group made the wrong choice two or more times. Two people got all four samples wrong. Overall, half the participants did about as well on the last round of tasting as on the first, so fatigue, or taste burnout, was not a factor. Our preference test results suggest that only a few Pepsi participants and Coke fans mayreally be able to tell their favorite brand by taste and price.31.According to the passage the preference test was conducted in order toA.find out the role taste preference plays in a person s drinkingB.reveal which cola is more to the liking of the drinkersC.show that a person ' s opiniort Oboei is mere guesswork sDp. compare the ability of the participants in choosing their drinks32.The statistics recorded in the preference tests show.A.Coca-Cola and Pepsi are people ' s two most favorite drinksB.There is not much difference in taste between Coca-Cola and PepsiC.Few people had trouble telling Coca-Cola from PepsiD.People ' s tastes differ from one another33.It is implied in the first paragraph that.A.the purpose of taste test is to promote the sale of colasB.the improvement of quality is the chief concern of the two cola companiesC.the competition between the two colas is very strongD.blind tasting is necessary for identifying fans34.The underlined word “brunout (Para. 5)here refers to the state ofA.being seriously burnt in the skinB.being unaable to burn for lack of fuelC.being badly damaged by fireD.being unable to function because of excessive use35.The author ' s purpose in writing this passage is to. A.show that taste preference is highly subjectiveB.argue that taste tasting is an important marketing strategyC.emphasize that taste and price are closely related to each otherD.recommend that blind tasting be introduced in the quality control of colas Passage 2I never carry a map when I travel. I prefer to ask for directions. Sometimes I lose my way, but I usually have a good time. I can learn a new language and meet new people. I find out different “stylesof" directions every time I ask, “ How can I get to the post office ”Foreign travelers are often confused in Japan because most streets thereD. measure distance with cars39.The Greeks prefer to lead a foreigner to the place he wants to get to becauseA.they don ' t know the direction of the placeB.they don ' t ' want to speak to erseigndon t have names.

Birdsfell out of the air because of the heat.The fire stopped only when the King finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the path of the fire. With nothing left to burn, the fire became weak and finally died out.After the fire, Christopher Wren, the architect（建筑师）,wanted a city with wider streets and fine new houses of stone.

Reading Comprehension ( 60 points)Directions:There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by fourquestions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Chooseone best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage oneI talk to strangers for a living and love the challenge of getting their stories published in newspapers.I've been married for years，but until six months ago，I could be a typical absent—minded husband.Often l was just nodding when l was supposed to.When my wife asked，“Did you even hear what I just said?”1 would defensively say，“of course I did!”In January，I began to lose my voice.Doctors told me I needed surgery，or my throat would be permanently damaged.Total silence would be required for the first few weeks of my recovery.Two hours after the surgery，my eyes filled with tears as mytwo-year-old son looked puzzled because l wouldn’t answer his questions.I wanted to talk but couldn’t.Luckily，I'd recorded myself reading some of his favorite books.That would come in handy the next couple of weeks.It had never left.I'd just stopped noticing.I found myself understanding her better on topics I'd previously dismissed as “things I just don’t get as a guy”.I also realized my son wasn’t just talkingnonstop but that he often had thoughtful things to say.Even while walking my dog in the woods near our home，I began hearing pleasant patterns in birdsongs.Before my surgery，I'd have spent those walks on my phone.After several weeks，I was fully recovered. Conversation in our house is better now，not because I'm talking more.I’m just listening better and becoming less and less surprised that I like what I hear.36题单选 According to the passage，the author is most likely a__________ .A.driverB.teacherC.doctorD.Journalist参考答案：D37题单选 What does the wife mean by asking “Did you even hear what I just said? ”in Paragraph 1 ?A.Yon should listen to me.B.You didn’t want to talk with me.C.You should tell me what I said just now.D.You didn’t have to nod while you were listening.参考答案：A38题单选 What is true of the author after the surgery?A.He was required to keep silent for the first few monthsB.He was worried about his recovery after the surgery.C.He was unable to communicate with his son.D.He was unwilling to talk to his wife.参考答案：C39题单选 What did the author realize after the surgery?A.His wife was a talkative woman.B.His house was full of pleasant talks.C.His son didn’t like talking.D.His dog liked pleasant birdsongs.参考答案：BPassage TwoCoconut(椰子)is an unusual food for many reasons.It is one of the largest edible seeds produced by any plant.Its unusual contents also make it unique in the seed world—it consists of both “meat“ and “water”inside.The coconut meat is the white substance with which we are all familiar，as it is used extensively for cooking and flavorings;the coconut water is a white and sweet liquid. Portuguese(葡萄牙的) explorers gave the nut its name in the l5th century, referring to it as coco，meaning “ghost” in their language.The outside appearance of coconuts reminded them of a ghost’s face，and the tree has had that name ever since.The coconut has varied uses.It is used to make various cooking oils for fast food restaurants around the world to make diet materials.The coconut fluid is a favorite drink in hot climates，providing a cool and refreshing beverage right off the tree.This water is also used by manufacturers of various sports drinks.Even the shell itself has many uses，including animal food and fertilizer.And all these are only some of the uses found for the coconut fruit.The coconut tree， which produces the nut，also produces many useful things.It’s no wonder that the coconut tree has been taken as “the tree of life”.40题单选 What does the underlined word“edible’in Paragraph 1 mean?A.Visible.B.Collectible.C.AvailableD.Eatable.参考答案：D41题单选 The coconut got its name because of __________ .A.its hard shellB.its white colorC.its ghostlike appearanceD.its round shape参考答案：C42题单选 What is the passage mainly about?A.The history of coconut.es of coconut.C.The discovery of coconut.D.Types of coconut seeds参考答案：B43题单选 What can be learned from the passage?A.Coconut trees are useful plants.B.Coconut oil is rare and expensive.C.Coconut trunks are houses for birds.D.Coconut fluid can become fertilizer.参考答案：APassage ThreeMost students choose “Homestay” accommodation when they study abroad：others select Homestay even if they are not on a study visit.Statistics show that it’s a form of accommodation gaining in popularity all the time.But what is Homestay? And what makes it so popular?Homestay means living with a family，or“host family”as we say.There are three ways of doing it：choose to learn English in a language school near to your Homestay location：have your English classes in the house with a member of the family who is a qualified teacher; select not to have classes at all when you visit——a popular choice if you want to do the tourist thing for example.Even in their busy summer period the organizations that arrange the Homestays will always try to place you with the most suitable host family to match your requirements.Placement(安置)organizations think about location，interests，language level，eating requirements，allergies (过敏)and other requests you may have.Though prices vary according to your needs，good quality Homestay accommodation can be relatively economical--and although you may be charged an extra amount of money if you want your Homestay in or near the city center.Even if you stay further out，you can expect your journey into the center not to exceed 30 minutes.Not only does Homestay accommodation represent value for money， it also gives you an excellent opportunity to practice English with your host family.This is a very important extra for students who like to speak as much English as possible. But if you plan to learn English，why not have your English classes in your host family. There’s no better way to learn English than this—the perfect combination of learning and accommodation combined with the cultural experience !44题单选 Homestay is an ideal choice for students who __________ .A.plan to visit relativesB.want to stay at homeC.plan to study overseasD.want to learn statistics参考答案：C45题单选 Who will consider students’requirements before their Homestay starts?A.The English teacher.B.The placement organization.C.The host family.D.The language school.参考答案：B46题单选 Which of the following is a key factor affecting the price of Homestay?A.Nationality of the host family.B.Eating habits of the host family.C.Students’language level.D.Students’specific needs.参考答案：D47题单选 What can be inferred from the passage?A.The author is in favor of Homestay accommodation.B.The author is doubtful about the safety of Homestay.C.The author finds Homestay arrangement complicated.D.The author finds Homestay accommodation expensive.参考答案：APassage FourUsing 1ess energy around the home is easier than you might think，saving you money while creating a heathier，more comfortable living space for you and your family. Changing a few old habits can make an impact on your energy bill， your comfort and the environment. Here are some handy tips to make your house more energy-efficient. Lower the heat If your home has adjustable central heating，lowering the room temperature even slightly can make a difference. You may not feel it，but your wallet will. It is even more advisable to control temperatures at different times of the day.Hang clothes out to dryIf the weather allows it，head outside and dry your laundry on a clothesline. The sunlight will help eliminate bacteria and dust. While clothes dryers get the job done faster，they also use up energy.By hanging your clothes out you’ll be cutting greenhouse gases by about three kilograms per load.Take advantage of natural lightInstalling large windows on the northern side of your house can help you make use of sunlight’s natural warmth. To stay cool indoors on hot summer days，install blinds(百叶窗) to block the heavy sun.Put your desk near the window，then you don’t need a lamp in the daytime.Wrap(裹)your pipesBe sure your hot—water pipes are properly wrapped.In an average home，heating wateraccounts for more than one—quarter of the energy bill.Why let warmth go to waste before it reaches you?Choose the right size for appliances(家用电器)When the time comes to replace appliances，select those that are both energy—efficient and of the appropriate size for your needs.Don’t buy bigger ones just because you can.48题单选 What benefit may using less energy at home bring about?A.Having a healthier living environment.B.Improving your work efficiency.C.Keeping old habits unchanged.D.Enlarging your living space.参考答案：A49题单选 Which of the following is one of the advantages of hanging clothes out to dry?A.It may help to build a greenhouse.B.It helps remove bacteria in clothes.C.It uses half the energy that clothes dryers do.D.It gets clothes dry much faster than clothes dryers.参考答案：B50题单选 What can be installed on the northern side of your house to make better use of natural light?A.Blinds.B.Curtains.C.Windows.D.Shades.参考答案：C51题单选 Besides energy-efficiency，what else should be considered when replacing appliances?A.Replacing time.B.Reasonable price.C.Good quality.D.Proper size.参考答案：DPassage FiveAs we recently discovered，there is a Stepmother’s Day，though it is not on any official holiday calendar.So，it would be safe to assume that there is a similar day for stepdads，too.Right? Well，it depends on what you read.A Google search brought up posts that say，for example，“It’s on father’s day--father’s day is for fathers，step—fathers and people who are like fathers to you-it’s a day for making father figures feel special.”Further searching found a Stepfather’s Day Facebook page that says，“The unofficial Stepfather’s Day is the fourth Sunday of June.”Unfortunately，as of the publishing of this article，only 30 people have “liked” the page.Considering that studies show 3.3 million men，or 11.1%of U.S.fathers，live with at least one stepchild，that’s only a drop in the ocean.It’s interesting to note that there is a National Grandparents’Day.President Jimmy Carter signed it into law in w! While grandparents are undoubtedly special people in our children’s lives，they are often seen as the most loving family members.But what about the stepparents? The stepparents are the ones who are often the outsiders，the ones who have to endure the hurtful “You’re not my dad!” or “You’re not my mom!” And yet they never give up.They do their best to overcome the inherent challenges of stepparents and be role models for their stepchildren.These unsung(未被颂扬的)family heroes deserve “official” days of honor.Perhaps if we are loud enough，President Obama，who had a stepfather himself，will sign into law National Stepmother’s Day and National Stepfather’s Day.Are you with me?

Conversation in our house is better now ，not because I'm talking more.I ’m just listening better and becoming less and less surprised that I like what I hear.36 题单选 According to the passage ，the author is most likely a__________ .A.driverB.teacherC.doctorD.Journalist参考答案：D37 题单选 What does the wife mean by asking “Did you even hear whatI just said? ”in Paragraph 1 ?A.Yon should listen to me.B.You didn ’t want to talk with me.C.You should tell me what I said just now.D.You didn ’t have to nod while you were listening.参考答案：A38 题单选 What is true of the author after the surgery?A.He was required to keep silent for the first few monthsB.He was worried about his recovery after the surgery.C.He was unable to communicate with his son.D.He was unwilling to talk to his wife.参考答案：C39 题单选 What did the author realize after the surgery?A.His wife was a talkative woman.B.His house was full of pleasant talks.C.His son didn ’t like talking.D.His dog liked pleasant birdsongs.参考答案：BPassage TwoCoconut( 椰子)is an unusual food for many reasons.It is one of thelargest edible seeds produced by any plant.Its unusual contents also makeit unique in the seed world —it consists of both “meat“and “water ”inside.The coconut meat is the white substance with which we are allfamiliar ，as it is used extensively for cooking and flavorings;the coconut water is a white and sweet liquid. Portuguese( 葡萄牙的) explorers gavethe nut its name in the l5th century, referring to it as coco ，meaning “ghost ”in their language.The outside appearance of coconuts remindedthem of a ghost ’s face ，and the tree has had that name ever since.The coconut has varied uses.It is used to make various cooking oilsfor fast food restaurants around the world to make diet materials.Thecoconut fluid is a favorite drink in hot climates ，providing a cool and refreshing beverage right off the tree.This water is also used bymanufacturers of various sports drinks.Even the shell itself has manyuses，including animal food and fertilizer.And all these are only someof the uses found for the coconut fruit.The coconut tree ，which produces the nut ，also produces manyuseful things.It ’s no wonder that the coconut tree has been taken as “the tree of life ”.40 题单选 What does the underlined word“edible ’in Paragraph 1 mean?A.Visible.B.Collectible.C.AvailableD.Eatable.参考答案：D41 题单选 The coconut got its name because of __________ .A.its hard shellB.its white colorC.its ghostlike appearanceD.its round shape参考答案：C42 题单选 What is the passage mainly about?A.The history of coconut.es of coconut.C.The discovery of coconut.D.Types of coconut seeds参考答案：B43 题单选 What can be learned from the passage?A.Coconut trees are useful plants.B.Coconut oil is rare and expensive.C.Coconut trunks are houses for birds.D.Coconut fluid can become fertilizer.参考答案：APassage ThreeMost students choose“Homestay”accommodation whenthey study abroad：others select Homestay even if they are not on a study visit.Statisticsshowthat it ’s a form of accommodation gaining in popularity all the time.But what is Homestay? And what makes it so popular?Homestay meansliving with a family ，or “host family ”as we say.Thereare three ways of doing it ：choose to learn English in a language school near to your Homestay location ：have your English classes in the housewith a memberof the family who is a qualified teacher; select not to have classes at all when you visit ——a popular choice if you want to do thetourist thing for example.Even in their busy summer period the organizations that arrange theHomestays will always try to place you with the most suitable host family to match your requirements.Placement( 安置)organizations think aboutlocation ，interests ，language level ，eating requirements ，allergies ( 过敏)and other requests you may have.Though prices vary according to your needs ，good quality Homestay accommodation can be relatively economical--and although you may becharged an extra amount of money if you want your Homestay in or near thecity center.Even if you stay further out ，you can expect your journey into the center not to exceed 30 minutes.Not only does Homestay accommodation represent value for money ，italso gives you an excellent opportunity to practice English with your host family.This is a very important extra for students who like to speak asmuch English as possible. But if you plan to learn English ，why not have your English classes in your host family. There’s no better way to learn English than this —the perfect combination of learning and accommodation combined with the cultural experience !44 题单选 Homestay is an ideal choice for students who __________ .A.plan to visit relativesB.want to stay at homeC.plan to study overseasD.want to learn statistics参考答案：C45 题单选 Who will consider students ’requirements before their Homestay starts?A.The English teacher.B.The placement organization.C.The host family.D.The language school.参考答案：B46 题单选 Which of the following is a key factor affecting the price of Homestay?A.Nationality of the host family.B.Eating habits of the host family.C.Students ’language level.D.Students ’specific needs.参考答案：D47 题单选 What can be inferred from the passage?A.The author is in favor of Homestay accommodation.B.The author is doubtful about the safety of Homestay.C.The author finds Homestay arrangement complicated.D.The author finds Homestay accommodation expensive.参考答案：APassage FourUsing 1ess energy around the home is easier than you might think ，saving you moneywhile creating a heathier ，more comfortable living spacefor you and your family. Changing a few old habits can make an impact onyour energy bill ， your comfort and the environment. Here are somehandytips to makeyour house more energy-efficient. Lower the heat If your home has adjustable central heating ，lowering the room temperature evenslightly can makea difference. You maynot feel it ，but your wallet will. It is even more advisable to control temperatures at different times ofthe day.Hang clothes out to dryIf the weather allows it ，head outside and dry your laundry on a clothesline. The sunlight will help eliminate bacteria and dust. Whileclothes dryers get the job done faster ，they also use up energy.By hanging your clothes out you ’ll be cutting greenhouse gases by about threekilograms per load.Take advantage of natural lightInstalling large windows on the northern side of your house can helpyou make use of sunlight ’s natural warmth. To stay cool indoors on hot summerdays，install blinds( 百叶窗) to block the heavy sun.Put your desk near the window ，then you don ’t need a lamp in the daytime.Wrap(裹)your pipesBe sure your hot —water pipes are properly wrapped.In an average home，heating wateraccounts for more than one—quarter of the energy bill.Why let warmth go to waste before it reaches you?Choose the right size for appliances( 家用电器)Whenthe time comes to replace appliances ，select those that are both energy—efficient and of the appropriate size for your needs.Don ’t buy bigger ones just because you can.48 题单选 What benefit may using less energy at home bring about?A.Having a healthier living environment.B.Improving your work efficiency.C.Keeping old habits unchanged.D.Enlarging your living space.参考答案：A49 题单选 Which of the following is one of the advantages of hangingclothes out to dry?A.It may help to build a greenhouse.B.It helps remove bacteria in clothes.C.It uses half the energy that clothes dryers do.D.It gets clothes dry much faster than clothes dryers.参考答案：B50 题单选 What can be installed on the northern side of your house tomake better use of natural light?A.Blinds.B.Curtains.C.Windows.D.Shades.参考答案：C51 题单选 Besides energy-efficiency ，what else should be consideredwhen replacing appliances?A.Replacing time.B.Reasonable price.C.Good quality.D.Proper size.参考答案：DPassage FiveAs we recently discovered ，there is a Stepmother ’s Day，though it isnot on any official holiday calendar.So ，it would be safe to assumethat there is a similar day for stepdads ，too.Right? Well ，it depends on what you read.A Google search brought upposts that say ，for example ，“It ’s on father ’s day--father ’s day is for fathers ，step —fathers and people who are like fathers to you-it ’s a day for making father figures feel special. ”Further searching found a Stepfather ’s Day Facebook page that says，“The unofficial Stepfather ’s Day is the fourth Sunday of June. ”Unfortunately ，as of the publishing of this article ，only 30 people have “liked ”the page.Considering that studies show 3.3 million men，or 11.1%of U.S.fathers ，live with at least one stepchild ，that ’s only a drop in the ocean.It ’s interesting to note that there is a National Grandparents ’Day.President Jimmy Carter signed it into law in w! Whilegrandparents are undoubtedly special people in our children ’s lives ，they are often seen as the most loving family members.But what about the stepparents? The stepparents are the ones who are often the outsiders ，the ones whohave to endure the hurtful “You’re not mydad! ”or “You’re not my mom! ”And yet they never give up.They do their best to overcome the inherent challenges of stepparents and be role models for their stepchildren.These unsung( 未被颂扬的)family heroes deserve “official ”days of honor.Perhaps if we are loud enough，President Obam，a whohad a stepfather himself ，will sign into law National Stepmother ’s Day and National Stepfather ’s Day.Are you with me? Follow me and get your voice heard.How cool it wouldbe if we could make this happen!52 题单选 What does the underlined word“that ’’in Paragraph 1 referto?A.Father figures who are equally honored in the U.S.B.30 people who support Stepfather ’s Day on the Facebook page.C.3.3 million men who live with at least one stepchild in the world.D.11.1%of U.S.fathers who live with at least one stepchild in the U.S.参考答案：B53 题单选 What did President Jimmy Carter sign into law in 1978 ?A.The National Grandparents ’Day.B.The National Grandchildren ’s Day.C.The National Stepparents ’Day.D.The National Stepchildren ’s Day.参考答案：A54 题单选 Which of the following is closest in meaning to the word“inherent ”in paragraph 2 ?.A.Unbelievable.B.Toughsting.D.Inevitable.。

阅读理解 阅读下列短⽂，然后根据短⽂的内容从每⼩题的四个选择项⽜选出的⼀项。
A After working long hours On her feet everyday in the operating ,room, Taryn Rose' knew a lot about foot pain. But unlike most of her colleagues(同事),she turned her pain into money: Today she is the boss of Taryn Rose International, a $528 million company that makes nice and comfortable shoes. At the beginning, Rose realized the only thing that could stop her was fear of ,failure. "I couldhear my friends and family saying, 'Why did you leave a good job?' If I failed, would I be okay facing them? And: t thought, 'So what? I can go back for further study in medicine.' I started to accept that it would be okay to say, 'I failed, but I tried.' Once I was comfortable with that th6fight, the fear came to an end. I realized I feared regret more than failure. And after you turn to the path you choose, there is nothing acceptable but Success" Now, Rose has no regrets about leaving medicine. "What I'm doing is not all that different from: what I Was doing as a doctor. The goal is the same: to relieve (减轻) pain. A former professor told me: 'You're helping hundreds of thousands of women with your shoes. As a doctor, you would have helped only the few who went to your office. You're having a much greater effect.' Looking back, Rose admits she caught a couple of lucky breaks. "To me, luck is about being prepared for those opportunities (机会) that come knocking. You have to have an open mind, the right skilis and all your senses working 'to see what opportunities present themselves. Luck can open the door, but you still have to walk through it." 1. Before starting:her shoe business, Taryn Rose was aA. nurseB. workerC. doctorD. boss 2.

C: YOu haveto be prepared for walking through the door. D. You should open your eyes to see opportunities clearly. B Last fall was a first-of-its-kind season. I did not arrange (安排) any after-school classes formy children. No swimming.'No music lessons. No play dates. Nothing. Once they finished their homework, they were free to do what they pleased, but only onehour of TV. In the beginning, my sons, Ben, 11, and Nick, 9, were anxious about this sudden,unplanned freedom. I had to, push them out of the door with a ball, a bike, and so on. "Play? Iordered. I learned that this new plan takes time, patience and a lot of faith in the theory that havingexcellent grades isn't really important. When my older kids, now in college and high school, were young, I brought in the rules ofmodern parenting. They are unspoken, but followed carefully. First, you must let your childhave a variety of activities. After all, you never know where you'll find a genius (天才). Second, if the child shows the slightest talent (才能), the activity must be pushed with lessons, special coaching (辅导) and practice of several days a week. Every minute should be taken and every minute has a purpose.That was really too much for my children. Now with the new plan, we told stories, We listened to music. And' the. kids played with bikes, balls, and whatever was handy. Nobody kept score. In fact, the boys played outside so much that the lawn was worn down to the soil in places. They've made friends with those who come from all over the neighbourhood to play games. We like those peaceful evenings. Ben and Nick have a good time this fall, MaYbe that's because the time offhas allowed us to enjoy each other's company; 5.What was new for the family last fall? A. The children began to learn music when school was over. B. The writer arranged no' extra lessons for the children. C.The writer found no time to play with the sons. D. The children had nothing toclo alter schooli 6. At the beginning of that season the children A. hatedto spend more time on their homework B. felt excited about making their own decisions C. were pleased to have more freedom D; were worried about thechange 7. According to ',modern parenting" discussed in Paragraph 4, parents should A. make use of every minute to be with the children B, provide coaching and practice for each, activity . C.try ex, cry means to find a child's real talent D. know the rules but never talk about them 8. Fromthe passage we learn that A. children like story'telling more.than bike-riding B. parents should teach theirchildren how to make a plan C. children should have time to enjoy themselves after school D. parents can enjoy their evenings when children play with others C A woman:heads into apopular New York City coffee shop on a cold: winter rooming. Just ahead of her, a man drops a few papers. The woman pauses to help gather them. A clerk ata busy store thanks a customer who has just bought something. "Enjoy" the young woman says, smiling widely. "Have a nice day." She sounds like she really means it. These arethe common situations we may see every: day. However, in her best-selling book Talk to the Hand, Lynne Truss argues that common good manners such as saying "Excuse me" almost no longer exist. There are certainly plenty who would agree with her. According to one recent study, 70 percent of the U.S. adults (成A.)said people are ruder now than they were 20 years ago. Is it really true? We decided to find out if good manners are really hard to see. In this politeness study, reporters were sent to many cities in the world. They performed three experiments: "door tests" (would anyone hold the door open for them?); "paper drops" (who would help them gather a pile of "accidentally" dropped papers?); and "service tests" (which salesclerks would thank them for a purchase [购物]?) In New York, 60 tests (20 of each type)were done. Along the way, the reporters met all types of people: men and women of different races, ages, professions (职业), and income levels. And guess what? In the end, four out of every five :people they met passed their: politeness test making New York the most polite city in the study. 9, What does Lynne Truss argue in Talk to the Hand?. A. People are not as polite as they used to. B. "Excuse me" is not welcome nowadays. C. Of all the adults in the US 70% are rude, D. People don't care about manners any more. 10. What is TRUE about the politeness study discussed in the passage? A. The study was reported in many cities of the world. B. New York was the most suitable city for the experiment. C. Sixty tests were designed to see if people are polite to each other. D. Experiments were performed to see if common good manners exist. 11. What is found in the study? A. More people passed the tests in New York than in any other cities. B. Different kinds of people acted differently in the New York tests. C. Four out of five people passed the politeness test in the study. D. Manypeople in the experiment passed the tests by guessing. D This is not a diet (减肥⾷谱) or a hard ~exercise program. Nobody can stick to those for long. Instead, it's a simple way to make weight loss a natural part of the life you already live. And guess what? It's fun! You don't have to give up the foods you love or do regular exercises. It's about balancing calories(平衡卡路⾥) in tiny ways that add up to big benefits (好处). You just use some tricks the "naturally thin" people do. Pick the ones you like, stick with them, and you'll lose weight and be strong! Talk it UP Every time you pick Up the phone, stand up and walk around. Heavy people sit on average two and h half hours more every day than thin people, according to astudy. Get face time We use e-mailso much that we've forgotten what our colleagues look like. Pick a colleague or two who sit farthest from you: and deliver 10 of those daily messages in person. And go out of your way: go to a bathroom ora copy machine on another floor and take the stairs, of course. Think about your drink Consider beer or wine instead of a frozen drink: A glass of regular beer has 140 calories and a serving of wine has 126 calories, while a strawberry daiquiri has about 300 and a margarita 340. Reduce a total of 100 calories each day and you'll be able to lose about 10 pounds in a year. This is really not difficult to do. 12. What is mainly talked about in the passage? A. How to do exercises daily. B. How to lose weight easily. C. How to work comfortably. D: How to eat and drink regularly. 13. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. Thin people sit fewer hours daily than heavy people. B. People deliver messages to their colleagues in person. C. More people walk around when they talk on the phone. D. Heavy people make longer phonecalls than thin people, 14, What does the writer mean by “face time” in Paragraph 37A. Time for getting to know each other.B. Time for sharing ideas face to face. C, Time for doing small jobs, D. Time for sharing ideas face to face 15. Which of the following probably has the most calories?A. Strawberry daiquiri.B. Regular beer.C. Margarita:D.

Y ou should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage1Many post-80s couples are complaining that going to the movies, shopping or attending parties have become impossible since their kids were born. That's the way most parents are living their lives, no weekends of their own, no time to visit friends, not even a chance of promotion in their jobs.Asking help from their parents might be a way out,but problems are that some aging parents arc not strong enough to take care of the kids, and that the kids may also become too spoiled by their grandparents.Then, here comes a solution: families with kids can form a small group, and parents of each family can take turns to look after all the kids in this group on weekends. Thus, other parents can have some quiet time and feel freeto do something they've been planning for a long time. At the same time, the kids can make new friends and won' t be hanging around their parents all day long. This is baby-pooling.61.Many post-80s couples can't go to the movies, shop or attend parties because_____ .A .they have to look after their kids B. they have to look after their parentsC. they are busy with their workD. they have no money62.In paragraph 2, “a way out” means ______.A. out of dateB. a solutionC. without questionD. a complaint63.According to the last paragraph, the solution to the problem of post-80s couples isthat _____ .A. families with kids form a small groupB. they ask their aging parents for helpC. they give up their jobsD. they lake their kids wherever they go64.What is( are) the advantage(s) of baby-pooling?A.The parents can have much more free time.B.The kids can make new friends.C.The kids won't be hanging around their parents all day long.D. All of the above.65.The passage mainly discusses _____ ?A. post-80s couples and their friendsB. post-80s couples and baby-poolingC. post-80s couples and their parentsD. kids and their grandparentsPassage2It is a terrible illustration of man ' s weakness to nature .and the tsunami(^^) that struck the Japanese coast in March. 2011 has illustrated the difficulty of fighting against natural disasters, even for a prosperous nation.Totally preventing tsunami-damage is impossible. But there is much that can be done to minimize damage and loss of life. Measures that can be taken include designing solid buildings, and developing early-warming systems, public education programs and evacuation( 拔散）strategics.Moreover, the approach of a tsunami is possibly picked up by the sensors of complicated international warming systems. Countries can use radio and television broadcasts as well as loudspeaker networks to warn the public.But an early warming system depends on how far the tsunami strikes, if it's close by, the warning system is not going to be very effective. When people are faced with an unstoppable force like a tsunami the massive waves created by events like underwater earthquakes, the best course of action for them is lo get inland and to the higherground as quickly as possible.66.The first paragraph tells us that _____ .A.man can easily defeat the natureB.tsunamis take place only in JapanC.man's ability to cope with natural disasters is limitedD.the tsunami-damage in Japan is not so terrible67.To prevent tsunami-damage, the following measures can be taken EXCEPT______A.designing firm buildings 、B.developing early-warning systemsC.developing evacuation strategicsD.keeping the public unaware of the seriousness of tsunamis68.According to the passage , which of the following can cause a tsunami_____?A. Storms.B. Massive waves.C. Underwater earthquakes.D. Floods69.When a tsunami happens, the best course of action for people is to_____ .A.listen to radio and television broadcasts for informationB.get inland and to the higher ground as quickly as possibleC.stay where they areD.rely on the warning systemsPassage 3Global warming is causing more than 300,000 deaths and about $125 billion in economic losses each year, according to a report by the Global Humanitarian Forum, an organization led by Annan, the former United Nations secretary general.The report, to be released Friday, analyzed data and existing studies of health, disaster,population and economic trends. It found that human-influenced climate change was raising the global death rates from illnesses including malnutrition (营养不良）and heal-related health problems.But even before its release, the report drew criticism from some experts on climate and risk,who questioned its methods and conclusions.Along with the deaths, the report said that the lives of 325 million people, primarily in poor countries, were being seriously affected by climate change. It projected that the number would double by 2030.Roger Pielke Jr.a political scientist at the University of Colorado, Boulder, who studies disaster trends, said the Forum's report was “a methodological embarrassment” because there was no way to distinguish deaths or economic losses related to human-driven global warming amid the much larger losses resulting from the growth in populations and economic development in vulnerable (易受伤害的)regions. Dr. Pielke said that “climate change is an important problem requiring our utmost attention. “But the report, he said, ''will harm the cause for action on both climate change and disasters because it is so deeply flawed (有瑕疵的).”However, Soren Andreasen, a social scientist at Dalberg Global Development Partners who supervised the writing of the report, defended it, saying that it was clear that the numbers were rough estimates. He said the report was aimed at world leaders, who will meet in Copenhagen in December to negotiate a new international climate treaty.In a press release describing the report, Mr. Annan stressed the need for the negotiations to focus on increasing the flow of money from rich to poor regions to help reduce their vulnerability to climate hazards while still curbing the emissions of the heat-trapping gases. More than 90% of the human and economic losses from climate change arc occurring in poor countries, according to the report.71. What is the finding of the Global Humanitarian Forum?A. Global temperatures affect the rate of economic development.B.Rates of death from illnesses have risen due to global warming.C.Malnutrition has caused serious health problems in poor countries.D.Economic trends have to do with population and natural disasters.72. What do we learn about the Forum's report from the passage?A.It was challenged by some climate and risk experts.B.It aroused a lot of interest in the scientific circles.C.It was warmly received by environmentalists.D.It caused a big stir in developing countries.73.What does Dr. Pielke say about the Forum's report?A.Its statistics look embarrassing.B.It is invalid in terms of methodology.C.It deserves our closest attention.D.Its conclusion is purposely exaggerated.74.What is Soren Andreasen’s view of the report?A. Its conclusions are based on carefully collected data.B. It is vulnerable to criticism if the statistics are closely examined.C. It will give rise to heated discussions at the Copenhagen conference.D. Its rough estimates arc meant to draw the attention of world leaders.75. What does Kofi Annan say should be the focus of the Copenhagen conference?A. How rich and poor regions can share responsibility in curbing global warming.B. How human and economic losses from climate change can be reduced.C.How emissions of heat-trapping gases can be reduced on a global scale.D.How rich countries can better help poor regions reduce climate hazards.Passage 4Reaching new peaks of popularity in North America is Iceberg Water, which is harvested from icebergs off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.Arthur von Wiesenberger, who carries the title Water Master, is one of the few water critics in North America. As a boy, he spent time in the larger cities of Italy, France and Switzerland,where bottled water is consumed daily. Even then, he kept a water journal, noting the brands he liked best “my dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water,” He says.But is plain tap water all that bad? Not at all. In fact. New York's municipal water for morethan a century was called the champagne of lap water and until recently considered among the best in the world in terms of both taste and purity. Similarly, a magazine in England found that tap water from the Thames River tasted better than several leading brands of bottled water that were400 times more expensive.Nevertheless, soft-drink companies view bottled water as the next battle-ground for marketshare-this despite the fact that over 25 percent of bottled water comes from tap water: PepsiCo's Aquafina and Coca-Cola's Dasani arc both purified tap water rather than spring water.As diners thirst for leading brands, bottlers and restaurateurs salivate(垂涎)over the profits.A restaurant's typical mark-up on wine is 100 to 150 percent, whereas on bottled water it's often300 to 500 percent. But since water is much cheaper than wine, and many of the fancier brandsaren't available in stores, most diners don't notice or care.As a result, some restaurants are turning up the pressure to sen bottled water.According toan article in The Street Journal, some of the more shameless tactics include placing attractive bottleson the table for a visual sell, listing brands on the menu without prices, and pouring bottled water without even asking the diners if they want it.Regardless of how it’s sold, the popularity of bottled whaler taps into our desire for better health, our wish to appear cultivated, and even a longing for lost purity.76.What do we know about Iceberg Water from the passage?A.lt is a kind of iced water.B.It is just plain tap water.C .It is a kind of bottled water.D .It is a kind of mineral water.77.By saying “My dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water (Line 4 Para2),V on Wiesenberger wants to convey the message that_____?A .plain tap whaler is certainly unfit for drinkingB .bottled water is clearly superior to tap waterC.bottled water often appeals more to dogs tasteD.dogs can usually detect a fine difference in taste78.The-fancier brands (Line 3 Para 5) refers to____.A.tap water from the Thames RiverB.famous wines not sold in ordinary storesC.PepsiCo's Aquafina and Coca-Cola's DasaniD.expensive bottled water with impressive names79.Why are some restaurants turning up the pressure to sell bottled water?A.
