Main Street was always the heart of a town. This street was lined on the both sides with many 37 businesses. Here, shoppers walked into stores to look at all sorts of merchandise: clothing, furniture, hardware, groceries. In addition, some shops offered 38 . There shops included drugstores, restaurants, shoe repair stores, and barber or hairdressing shops. But in the 1950s, a change began to 39 place. Too many automobiles had crowded into Main Street while too few parking places were 40 to shoppers. Because the streets were crowded, merchants began to look with interest at the openspaces outside the city limits. Open space is what their car driving customers needed. And open space is what they got when the first shopping center was built. Shopping centers, or rather malls, 41 as a collection of small new stores away from crowded city centers. 42 by hundreds of free parking space, customers were drawn away from 43 areas to outlying malls. And the growing 44 of shopping centers led in turn to the building of bigger and better stocked stores. By the late 1970s, many shopping malls had almost developed into small cities themselves. In addition to providing the 45 of the stop shopping, malls were transformed into landscaped parks, with benches, fountains, and outdoor entertainment.[A] designed [F]convenience [K]cosmetics[B] take [G] services[L]started[C] Early [H] fame [M]downtown[D] Attracted [I]various [N]available[E] though [J] popularity [O] cheapness Section BDirections: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by making the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.The Art of FriendshipA) One evening a few years ago I found myself in an anxiety. Nothing was really wrong my family and I were healthy, my career was busy and successful -- I was just feeling vaguely down and in need of a friend who could raise my spirits, someone whowould meet me for coffee and let merant until the clouds lifted.I dialed my best friend, who now lives across the country in California, and got her voice mail. That's when it started to dawn on me -- lonesomeness was at the root of my dreariness. My social life had dwindled to almost nothing, but somehow until that moment I'd been too busy to notice. Now it hit me hard. My old friends, buddies since college or even childhood, know everything about me; when they left, they had taken my context with them.B) Research has shown the long-range negative consequences of social isolation on one's health. But my concerns were more short-term. I needed to feel understood right then in the way that only a girlfriend can understand you. I knew it would be wrong to expect my husband to replace my friends: He couldn't, and even if he could, to whom would I then complain about my husband? So I resolved to acquire new friends -- women like me who had kids and enjoyed rolling their eyes at the world a little bit just as I did. Since I'd be making friends with more intention than I'd ever given the process, I realized I could be selective, that I could in effect design my own social life. The down side, of course, was that I felt pretty frightened.C) After all, it's a whole lot harder to make friends in midlife that it is when you’re younger -- a fact woman I've spoken with point out again and again. As Leslie Danzig, 41, a Chicago theater director and mother, sees it, when you're in your teens and 20s, you're more or less friends with everyone unless there's a reason not to be. Your college roommate becomes your best pal at least partly due to proximity. Now there needs to be a reason to be friends. "There are many people I'm comfort-able around,but I wouldn't go so far as to call them friends. Comfort isn't enough to sustain a real friendship," Danzig says.D) At first, finding new companions felt awkward. At 40 I couldn't run up to people the way my4-year-old daughters do in the playground and ask, "Will you be my friend? Every time you start anew relationship, you're vulnerable again," agrees Kathleen Hall, D Min, founder and CEO of the Stress Institute, in Atlanta. "You're asking, 'Would you like to come into my life?' It makes us self-conscious."E) Fortunately, my discomfort soon passed. I realized that as a mature friend seeker my vulnerability risk was actually pretty low. If someone didn't take me up on my offer, so what: I wasn't in junior high, when I might have been rejected for having the wrong clothes or hair. At my age I have amassed enough self-esteem to realize that I have plenty to offer.F) We're all so busy, in fact, that mutual interests -- say, in a project, class, or cause that we already make time for -- become the perfect catalysts for bringing us in contact with candidates for camaraderie. Michelle Meters, 35, a teacher and mother of two in Wausau, Wisconsin, says anew friend she made at church came as a pleasant surprise. "In high school I chose friends based on their popularity and how being part of their circle might reflect on me. Now's it's our shared values and activities that count." Meters says her pal, with whom she organized the church's youth programs, is nothing like her but their drive and organizational skills make them ideal friends.G) Happily, as awkward as making new friends can be, self-esteem issues do not factor in -- or if they do, you can easily put them into perspective. Danzig tells of the mother of a child in her son's pre-school, a tall, beautiful woman who is married to a big-deal rock musician. "I said to my husband, she's too cool for me,'" she jokes. "Iget intimidated by people. But once I got to know her, she turned out to be pretty laid-back and friendly." In the end there was no chemistry between them, so they didn't become good pals. "I realized that we weren't each other's type, but it wasn't about hierarchy." What midlife friendship is about, it seems, is reflecting the person you've become (or are still becoming) back at yourself, thus reinforcing the progress you've made in your life.H) Harlene Katzman, 41, a lawyer in New York City, notes that her oldest friends knew her back when she was less sure of herself. As much as she loves them, she believes they sometimes respond to is-sues in light of who she once was. An old chum has the goods on you. With recently made friends, you can turn over a new leaf.I) A new friend, chosen right, can also help you point your boat in the direction you want to go. Hanna Dershowitz, 39, an attorney and mother in Los Angeles, found that a new acquaintance from work was exactly what she needed in a friend. In addition to。

所以A正确。
新闻中提到成千上万的家园被摧毁,并没有提及被破坏房屋的具体数量,B错误。
美国是国际援助行动的带头人,不是澳大利亚,C错误。
新闻中没有提到引起海啸的原因,D与新闻不符。
(分数:6.00)A.It spread from the US to Haiti.B.It is caused by hunger.C.It has caused thousands of death.D.It is treatable but fatal. √解析:解析:新闻提到,霍乱(cholera)由细菌感染导致,通常因摄入了受污染的食物或水而感染病毒。
这是一种可治愈的疾病(can be treated),但如果情况严重,也可能致命(can be fatal),故D正确。
A“由新闻是说霍乱通常因摄入了受B“由于饥饿而引起”与新闻内容不符,美国传入海地”没有在新闻中提到。
.污染的食物或水而感染病毒。
C错在thousands of,新闻中说有250人因霍乱而死亡,远远达不到“数千人”。
A.Because of the massive earthquake.B.Because of the tough living condition in tents.C.Because of the outdated medical level.D.Because of the cholera outbreak. √解析:解析:四个选项均以because of开头,可推断本题是问原因。

A、C、D均有提及:只有B(修指甲)不在服务范围内,故应选B。
通读选项,知道这篇对话与理发有关。
本题选项涉及相关服务项目,解答时要注意对话中提到哪些项目,以做相应标记。
此外,修指甲不属于一般的男士理发业务范围,根据“主题原则”,与主题无关的即为答案,直接选B。
A.He didn't have a clear idea of the complete service.B.He wanted the best service.C.He just wanted his hair cut the way he likes. √D.He wanted his hair to be trimmed quickly.解析:解析:男士的原话是:“今天就来整套服务吧。
不过,……我只想把头发修一下。

根据男士说的“Okay,I'll have the complete service today”,可排除A甚至D(全套服务所需的长时间与quickly矛盾);B无依据。
A.Your hands look good.B.Your hair is in good condition.C.You have a good beautician to serve you. √D.You can relax.解析:解析:女士说:“没问题,放松点,给你服务的是个好手。
”所谓“好手”即是水平高的美容美发师,故C正确。

A.He is going to a business convention in town.B.He is going to meet his clients.C.He is going to deal with workplace accidents.√D.He is going to be interviewed for new employment.解析:解析:男士先说,他到城里来面试一份新工作。
随后又抱怨,“我这个样子怎么去面试?”可见男士来美容院理发是为了参加面试,故D正确。
四个选项均以“He is going to”开头,差别在to后面的内容上。
A、B未提到,可排除;男士说他是一个处理工伤事故的律师,C中的一般将来时态与对话内容不一致。
(分数:8.00)A.She took care of it.B.She reported it to others.C.She did nothing about it. √D.She had it repaired.解析:解析:女士说,洗碗机坏了,她们向房东太太(Ms.Comers)汇报,房东太太说会处理,但是一个月过去了什么事情也没发生,即房东太太知道洗碗机坏了后实际上什么也没做,可见选C。
说会处理只是房东太太口头上说说而已,实际上她没处理,可排除A;是Paula和Sarah向房东太太汇报,不是房东太太向别人汇报,B不对;是Paula而不是房东太太叫人修好了洗碗机,也排除D。
A.Ms. Corners threatened to get her out of the rented apartment. √B.The dishwasher still didn't work after being repaired.C.The repairman charged more than she could afford.D.Ms. Comers didn't allow her to have the repair done.解析:解析:女士提到:“现在,因为没有支付足够的房租,房东威胁说要强迫我们搬出去。
”即,Paula的问题是A。

B、C、D均与原文所说内容不一致。
A.Paula had the repair done without her consent and didn't pay full rent. √B.Paula broke the dishwasher and had the repair done without her consent.C.Paula didn't inform her of the repair cost.D.Paula wanted to leave her apartment in short notice without paying full rent解析:解析:女士说,她自己找人修了洗碗机,并把维修费从房租中扣除了。
这惹得房东太太很生气。
故A正确。
听录音时,对相关内容予以判断可知,只有A中包含的两点内容完全正确。
