A
If your boss asks you to work in Moscow this year, he'd offer you more money to do so—or even double that depending on where you live now. That's because Moscow has just been found to be the world's most expensive city for the second year in a row by Mercer Human Resources Consulting.
Using the cost of living in New York as a base, Mercer determined Moscow is 34.4 percent more expensive including the cost of housing, transportation, food, clothing, household goods and entertainment(娱乐)．
A two­bedroom flat in Moscow now costs $ 4000 a month：a CD $ 24.83, and an international newspaper $ 6.30, according to Mercer. By comparison, a fast food meal with a hamburger(汉堡包)is a_steal at $ 4.80.
London takes the No. 2 place, up from No. 5 a year ago, thanks to higher cost of housing and a stronger British pound relative to the dollar. Mercer estimates(估算)London is 26 percent more expensive than New York these days. Following London closely are Seoul and Tokyo, both of which are 22 percent more expensive than New York, while No. 5 Hong Kong is 19 percent more costly.
Among North American cities, New York and Los Angeles are the most expensive and are the only two listed in the top 50 of the world's most expensive cities. But both have fallen since last year's study—New York came in 15th, down from 10th place, while Los Angeles fell to 42nd from 29th place a year ago. San Francisco came in a distant third at No. 54, down 20 places from a year earlier.
Toronto, meanwhile, is Canada's most expensive city but fell 35 places to take 82nd place worldwide. In Australia, Sydney is the priciest place to live in and No. 21 worldwide. 1．What do the underlined words“a steal”in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．an act of stealing B．something delicious
C．something very cheap D．an act of buying
2．London has become the second most expensive city because of________.
A．the high cost of clothing B．the stronger pound against the dollar C．its expensive transportation D．the high prices of fast food meals 3．Which city is the third most expensive on the list?
A．Tokyo. B．Hong Kong. C．Moscow. D．Sydney.
4．Which city has dropped most on the list in North America?
A．New York. B．Los Angeles. C．San Francisco. D．Toronto.
B
The oddness of life in space never quite goes away. Here are some examples.
First consider something as simple as sleep. Its position presents its own challenges. The main question is whether you want your arms inside or outside the sleeping bag. If you leave your arms out, they float(漂浮) free in zero gravity(重力), often giving a sleeping astronaut the look of a funny balled (芭蕾)dancer. “I’m an inside guy,” Mike Hopkins says, who returned from a six-month tour on the International Space Stati on. “I like to be wrapped up.”
On the station, the ordinary becomes strange. The exercise bike for the American astronauts has no handlebars. It also has no seat. With no gravity, it’s just as easy to pedal(骑车)violently. You can watch a movie while you pedal by floating a microcomputer anywhere you want. But station residents/citizens have to be careful about staying in one place too long. Without gravity to help circulate air, the carbon-dioxide you breathe in has a tendency to form an invisible (隐形的)cloud around your head. You can end up with what astronauts call a carbon-dioxide headache.
Leroy Chiao, 54, an American retired astronaut after four flights, describes what happens even before you float out of your seat. “Your inner ear thinks you’re f alling. At the same time your eyes are telling you you’re standing straight. That can be annoying—that’s why some people feel sick.” Within a couple days —truly terrible days for some ---- astronauts’ brains learn to ignore the panicky and nervous signals from the inner ear, and space sickness disappears.
Space travel can be so delightful but at the same time invisibly dangerous. For instance, astronauts lose bone mass. That’s why exercise is considered so vital/important that National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) puts it right on the workday schedule. The focus on fitness is as much about science and the future as it is about keeping any individual astronauts healthy. NASA is worried about two things: recovery time once astronauts return home, and, more importantly, how to maintain/keep strength and fitness for the two and a half years or more that it would take to make a round-trip to Mars.
5. What is the major challenge to astronauts when they sleep in space?
A. Deciding on a proper sleep position.
B. Choosing a comfortable sleeping bag.
C. Seeking/Looking for a way to fall asleep quickly.
D. Finding a right time to go to sleep.
6. The astronauts will suffer from a carbon-dioxide headache when _____.
A. they circle around on their bikes
B. they use microcomputers without a stop
C. they exercise in one place for a long time
D. they watch a movie while pedaling
7. Some astronauts feel sick on the station during the first few days because _____.
A. their senses stop working
B. they have to stand up straight
C. they float out of their seats unexpectedly
D. Their brains receive opposite messages
8. One of the NASA’s major concerns/worries about astronauts is _____.
A. how much exercise they do on the station
B. how they can remain healthy for long in space
C. whether they can recover after returning home
D. whether they are able to go back to the station
C
The small unframed painting called “Fishman” was signed by a little-known Italian artist, Maveleone (1669-1740). When it was sold recently in New York for $ 27,000, the seller, Mr. Oliver Pitt, was asked to explain how the picture had come into his possession. Pitt said, “I didn’t know it was so valuable. I’m not a n art expert. Photography is my hobby.
I bought ‘Fisherman’ in Italy in 1970 for $140. The picture was dirty, and I could see the artist’s signature. But anyway it wasn’t the picture that I liked. I bought it because of the frame.
“it’s a most unusual fram e, made of tiny, silver sea-shells（贝壳）. They are set in such a way that they reflect （反射）perfect light onto the surface of a picture. I now have a photograph of my wife in that frame, and I’ll never part with it.
“When I returned to New York I showed the p ainting in its frame to a customs officer.
I told him that I had paid $140 for it but admitted I didn’t know its actual worth. The customs man valued it at $140, and I was asked to pay duty on that value. I did so, there and then.
“Later, I took off the frame, and that uncovered Maveleone’s signature. My wife suggested in fun that the painting might be a valuable one; so I cleaned it and put it up for sale.”
As a result of this explanation, Oliver Pitt had to appear in court. He was accused （指控） of knowingly making a false statement of the value of a picture so as to cheat the Customs Department.
Pitt was not happy, “I told the truth as I knew then,” he said. “What else could I say?”
And then the judge agre ed with him. “The Customs Department is responsible (to blame),” he said, “for making a true valuation of goods brought into the country, so that the correct amount of duty may be charged. Mr. Pitt did not cause or try to cause the mistake that was made. He paid the duty that was demanded. If, now, the Customs Department finds that its valuation was not correct, it cannot be allowed to have another try. Pitt is not guilty(有罪).”
9. When Oliver Pitt bought the picture____
A. it was unframed
B. Maveleone signed the deal
C. he suggested that it was valuable
D. it was the frame the attracted him.
10. Pitt met the customs officer ____where the officer was employed to ____.
A. at the railway station or airport: examine people’s baggage
B. at the airport or port; examine people’s baggage.
C. at the bus stop or port; help people enter the USA.
D. at the airport or port; help people enter The USA.
11. From the passage we can infer that if Maveleon had been a well-known artist____
A. the painting would have cost much more than $ 140
B. he wouldn’t have sold his painting at such a low price.
C. the customs officer would have valued the painting at $140 or less.
D. Pitt wouldn’t have had the intention to buy any of his paintings.
12. Pitt took off the frame in order to____
A. look for the artist’s sign ature
B. find the painting’s true value
C. use it for his wife’s photograph
D. clean the painting to put it up for sale
D
Last weekend, I went shopping in the local mall (购物中心). After that, I went to a nearby restaurant. At dinner I was seated at a table with a father and his 3-year-old son. We shared a short conversation through the meal and, afterwards, we parted friendly.
As I was walking through the parking garage, I heard someone calling me from the level above. I looked up to see the man and his son standing there waving to me. As it was difficult to hear him, I walked up to the second level to speak with them. The man s aid, “My car won’t start. Do you have a jumper cable (充电电线)? Mine is at home.” I didn’t happen to have cables on me, so I asked a few more passers-by, all of whom ignored our small group and simply kept walking. So I offered to drive them in my car to the closest store where they could get cables. He said he didn’t want to bother me.
Anyway, I decided to help them out. We got into my car and I drove them to a store nearby. Once cables were bought I drove them back to the parking garage. I helped watch the boy as his father set to work, quickly bringing his car back to life. I refused the man’s offer of money and waved away his apologies. I was just happy that he and his son would be able to get home safe and weren’t stuck in the frightening parking garage al l night.
13. What was probably the problem with the man’s car?
A. Its battery was dead.
B. It was short of gas.

Peer pressure
Peer pressure is just part of the challenges in life. __16__ If you need further guidance,
this article might help you. It provides three effective tips to deal with it：Be with friends who respect your beliefs.
You can go out with people who accept and respect the things you believe in and those who you know you can share your interests with. It is all right to be choosy with friends because you just want what is best for them and you. __17__ You are just exhibiting what you know is right and good for both sides. Your friends will understand you for that. They can drag you away from discrimination and you can be confident that they will not leave you for your stand in life.
__18__
When you are driven by so many peer pressures, you can always stay away from it. You can actually decide not to be one of them. When you have decided on it, learn to be firm with your decision. __19__ They should know that you cannot be forced to do certain things because you are strong and firm with what you believe in.
Learn how to say no.
Learning to say no is one big factor to deal with some pressures from all of your friends. When you are convinced to do something you know that can only destroy you or ruin you, learn to say no.__20__ You cannot just say yes to anything. You have a functional mind and you know what is best for you. So learn to say no even if saying no means losing your friends.

B．Don't blame others.
C．This does not mean you are being selfish or you are being self­centered.

Aphasics (失语症患者) can be extremely good at something: from the changing 21 on speakers’ faces and the tones of their voices, they can 22 lies from truths.
Doctors studying the human brain have given 23 examples of this amazing power of aphasics. Some have even compared this power to 24 of a dog with an ability to find out the drugs 25 in the baggage.
Recently, scientists carried out tests to see 26 all that was said about aphasics was true. They studied a 27 group of people. Some were normal; 28 were aphasics. It was proved that the aphasics were far ahead of the normal people in 29 false speeches
— in most cases, the normal people were fooled by 30 , but the aphasics were not.
Some years ago, Dr. Oliver Sacks wrote in his book about his 31 with aphasics. He mentioned a particular 32 in a hospital. Some aphasics were watching the president giving a speech on TV. 33 the president had been an actor earlier, making a good speech was no problem for him. He was trying to put his feelings into every word of his speech.
But his way of speaking had the opposite 34 on the patients. They didn’t seem to believe him. 35 , they burst into laughter. The aphasics knew that the president did not 36 a word of what he was saying. He was lying!
Many doctors see aphasics as people who are not completely normal because they lack the ability to understand words. 37 , according to Dr. Sacks, they are more 38 than normal people. Normal people may get 39 by words. Aphasics seem to understand human expressions better, 40 they cannot understand words.

Rainforests are important places for people and animals. There are differently kinds of rainforests on the earth. Some are high in the mountains and the others are near the sea. In the past forty years, humans destroyed half of the earth’s rainforests, where are home to about fifty million people. There are also million of animals, plants and insects lived there. When they destroy the rainforests, we will lose our homes and most animals and plants will disappear.
Once they disappeared, we will never see them again. The Amazon rainforest is about a hundred million years old, or it has more species of animals and plants than any other places on the earth.
作文: (抄写范文)Looking back to the National English Speaking Competition I took several days ago, I have a lot to share with you.
For a start, I feel really delighted that I’ve won the first prize in the competition, which makes me understand the true meani ng of the proverb “no pains, no gains”. Furthermore, in the five-day competition, I established a close friendship with students from all over our country, from whom I’ve learned a lot. More importantly, taking this competition has enabled me to overcome my fear of speaking in public, thus developing my self-confidence. Additionally, I owe many thanks to my tutor and the judges, without whose proper help, I couldn’t have done such an excellent job.
To sum up, I will always cherish this meaningful and memorable experience.
