David, 64, lives in a three-bedroomed flat right at the top of the Byward Tower, one of the gatehouses. " From our bedroom we have a marvellous view of Tower Bridge and the Thames, " says David.The Tower of London is famous for its ravens, the large black birds which have lived there for over three centuries. David was immediately fascinated by the birds and when he was offered the post of Raven Master eight years ago he had no hesitation in accepting it. "The birds have now become my life and I'm always aware of the fact that I am maintaining a tradition. The legend says that if the ravens leave the Tower, England will fall to enemies, and it's my job to make sure this doesn't happen!"David devotes about four hours a day to the care of the ravens. He has grown to love them and the fact that he lives right next to them is ideal. "I can keep a close eye on them all the time, and not just when I'm working." At first, David's wife Mo was not keen on the idea of life in the Tower, but she too will be sad to leave when he retires next year. "When we look out of our windows, we see history all around us, and we are taking it in and storing it up for our future memories."第二篇A Lucky BreakActor Antonio Banderas is used to breaking bones, and it always seems to happen when he's doing sport. In the film Play It to the Bone he plays the part of a middleweight boxer alongside Woody Harrelson. During the making of the film Harrelson kept complaining that the fight scenes weren't very convincing, so one day he suggested that he and Banderas should have a fight for real. The Spanish actor wasn't keen on the idea at first, but he was eventually persuaded by his co-star to put on his gloves and climb into the boxing ring. However, when he realized how seriously his opponent was taking it all, he began to regret his decision to fight. And then in the third round, Harrelson hit Banderas so hard in the face that he actually broke his nose. His wife, actress Melanie Griffith, was furious that he had been playing "silly macho games". "She was right," confesses Banderas, "and I was a fool to take a risk like that in the middle of a movie."He was reminded of the time he broke his leg during a football match in his native Malaga. He had alwaysdreamed of becoming a soccer star, of performing in front of a big crowd, but doctors told him his playing days were probably over. "That's when I decided to take up acting; I saw it as another way of performing, and achieving recognition. What happened to me on that football pitch was, you might say, my first lucky break."第三篇Global WarmingFew people now question the reality of global warming and its effects on the world's climate. Many scientists put the blame for recent natural disasters on the increase in the world's temperatures and are convinced that, more than ever before, the Earth is at risk from the forces of the wind, rain and sun. According to them, global warming is making extreme weather events, such as hurricanes and droughts, even more severe and causing sea levels all around the world to rise.Environmental groups are putting pressure on governments to take action to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide which is given off by factories and power plants, thus attacking the problem at its source. They are in favour of more money being spent on research into solar, wind and wave energy devices, which could then replace existing power stations.Some scientists, however believe that even if we stopped releasing carbon dioxide and other gases into the atmosphere tomorrow, we would have to wait several hundred years to notice the results. Global warming, it seems, is here to stay.第四篇A Success StoryAt 19, Ben Way is already a millionaire, and one of a growing number of teenagers who have made Their fortune through the Internet. What makes Ben's story all the more remarkable is that he is dyslexic, and was told by teachers at his junior school that he would never be able to read or write properly. "I wanted to prove them wrong ", says Ben, creator and director of Waysearch, a net search engine which can be used to find goods in online shopping malls.When he was eight, his local authorities provided him with a PC to help with school work. Although he was unable to read the manuals, he had a natural ability with the computer, and encouraged by his father, he soon began charging people $l0 an hour for his knowledge and skills. At the age of 15 he set up his own computer consultancy, Quad Computer, which he ran from his bedroom, and two years later he left school to devote all his time to business."By this time the company had grown and I needed to take on a couple of employees to help me", says Ben. "That enabled me to start doing business with bigger companies.” It was. his ability to consistently overcome difficult challenges that led him to win the Y oung Entrepreneur of the Y ear award in the same year that he formed Waysearch, and he has recently signed a deal worth $25 million with a private investment company, which will finance his search engine.第五篇Traffic in Our CitiesThe volume of traffic in many cities in the world today continues to expand. This causes many problems, including serious air pollution, lengthy delays, and the greater risk of accidents. Clearly, something must be done, but it is often difficult to persuade people to change their habits and leave their cars at home.One possible approach is to make it more expensive for people to use their cars by increasing charges for parking and bringing in tougher fines for anyone who breaks the law. In addition, drivers could be required to pay for using particular routes at different times of the day. This system, known as "road pricing", is already being introduced in a number of cities, using a special electronic card fixed to the windscreen of the car.Another way of dealing with the problem is to provide cheap parking on the outskirts of the city, and strictly control the number of vehicles allowed into the centre. Drivers and their passengers then use a special bus servicefor the final stage of their journey.Of course, the most important thing is to provide good public transport. However, to get people to give up the comfort of their cars, public transport must be felt to be reliable, convenient and comfortable, with fares kept at an acceptable level.第六篇Teaching and learningMany teachers believe that the responsibilities for learning lie with the student. If a long reading assignment is given, instructors expect students to be familiar with the information in the reading even if they do not discuss it in class or take an examination. The ideal student is considered to be one who is motivated to learn for the sake of learning, not the one interested only in getting high grades. Sometimes homework is returned with brief written comments but without a grade. Even if a grade is not given, the student is responsible for learning the material assigned. When research is assigned, the professor expects the student to take it actively and to complete it with minimum guidance. It is the student's responsibility to find books, magazines, and articles in the library. Professors do not have the time to explain how a university library works; they expect students particularly graduate students to exhaust the reference sources in the library. Professors will help students who need it, but prefer that their students should not be too dependent on them. In the United Stats professors have many other duties besides teaching, such as administrative or research work. Therefore, the time that a professor can spend with a student outside of class is limited. If a student has problems with classroom work, the student should either approach a professor during office hours or make an appointment.*第七篇The Difference between Man and ComputerWhat makes people different from computer programs? What is the missing element that our theories don’t yet account for? The answer is simple: People read newspaper stories for a reason: to learn more about what they are interested in. Computers, on the other hand, don't. In fact,computers don't even have interests; there is nothing in particular that they are trying to find out when they read. If a computer program is to be a model of story understanding,it should also read for a "purpose".Of course,people have several goals that do not make sense to attribute to computers. One might read a restaurant guide in order to satisfy hunger or entertainment goals, or to find a good place to go for a business lunch. Computers do not get hungry, and computers do not have business lunches.However,these physiological and social goals give rise to several intellectual or cognitive goals. A goal to satisfy hunger gives rise to goals to find information about the name of a restaurant which serves the desired type of food,how expensive the restaurant is,the location of the restaurant, etc. These are goals to acquire information or knowledge, what we are calling learning goals. These goals can be held by computers too; a computer might "want" to find out the location of a restaurant,and read a guide in order to do so in the same way as a person might. While such a goal would not arise out of hunger in the case of the computer,it might well arise out of the "goal" to learn more about restaurants.*第八篇Look on The Bright SideDo you ever wish you were more optimistic, someone who always expected to be successful? Having someone around who always fears the worst isn’t really a lot of fun. We all know someone who sees a single cloud on a sunny day and says, "It looks like rain. " But if you catch yourself thinking such things,it's important to do something about it.Y ou can change your view of life, according to psychologists. It only takes a little effort,and you'll find life more rewarding as a result. Optimism,they say,is partly about self-respect and confidence but it's also a more positive way of looking at life and all it has to offer. Optimists are more likely to start new projects and are generally more preparedto take risks.Upbringing is obviously very important in forming your attitude to the world. Some people are brought up to depend too much on others and grow up forever blaming other people when anything goes wrong. Most optimists,on the other hand, have been brought up not to regard failure as the end of the world—they just get on with their lives.*第九篇The First BicycleThe history of the bicycle goes back more than 200 years. In 1791, Count de Sivrac delighted onlookers in a park in Paris as he showed off his two-wheeled invention,a machine called the celeriferé. It was basically an enlarged version of a children’s toy which had been in use for many years. Sivrac's "celeriferéhad a wooden frame,made in the shape of a horse,which was mounted on a wheel at either end. To ride it,you sat on a small seat,just like a modem bicycle,and pushed hard against the ground with your legs—there were no pedals. It was impossible to steer a celeriferé and it had no brakes,but despite these problems the invention very much appealed to the fashionable young men of Paris. Soon they were holding races up and down the streets.Minor injuries were common as riders attempted a final burst of speed. Controlling the machine was difficult,as the only way to change direction was to pull up the front of the "celeriferé" and turn it round while the front wheel was spinning in the air. "Celeriferés" were not popular for long,however,as the combination of no springs,no steering and rough roads made riding them very uncomfortable. Even so,the wooden celeriferé was the origin of the modem bicycle.*第十篇Working MothersCarefully conducted researches that have followed the children of working mothers have not been able to show any long-term problems,compared with children whose mothers stayed at home. My personal view is that mothers should be allowed to work if they wish. Whether we like it or not,there are a number of mothers who just have to work.. There are those who have invested such a big part of their lives in establishing a career that they cannot afford see it lost. Then there are many who must work out of pure economic necessity. Many mothers are not cut out to be full-time parents. After a few months at home with a much loved infant,they feel trapped and isolated.There are a number of options when it comes to choosing childcare. These range from child minders and nannies through to Granny or the kind lady across the street. In reality, however,many parents don't have any choice; they have to accept anything they can get. Be prepared! No matter how good the childcare may be,some children are going to protest wildly if they are left. This is a perfectly normal stage of child development. Babies separate well in the first six months,but soon after that they start to get a crush on Mum and close family members. Make sure that in the first week you allow plenty of time to help your child settle in.All children are different. Some are independent,while others are more attached to their mothers. Remember that if you want to do the best for your children,it's not the quantity of time you spend with them,it's the quality that matters.+第十一篇School LunchResearch has shown that over half the children in Britain who take their own lunches to school do not eat properly in the middle of the day. In Britain schools have to provide meals at lunchtime. Children can choose to bring their own food or have lunch at the school canteen.One shocking finding of this research is that school meals are much healthier than lunches prepared by parents. There are strict standards for the preparation of school meals, which have to include one portion of fruit and one of vegetables, as well as meat, a dairy item and starchy food like bread or pasta. Lunchboxes examined by researchers contained sweet drinks, crisps and chocolate bars. Children consume twice as much sugar as theyshould at lunchtime.The research will provide a better understanding of why the percentage of overweight students in Britain has increased in the last decade. Unfortunately, the government cannot criticize parents, but it can remind them of the nutritional value of milk, fruit and vegetables. Small changes in their children's diet can affect their future health. Children can easily develop bad eating habits at this age, and parents are the only ones who can prevent it.+第十二篇A Powerful InfluenceThere can be no doubt at all that the Internet has made a huge difference to our lives. Parents are worried that children spend too much time playing on the Internet, hardly ever doing anything else in their spare time. Naturally, parents are curious to find out why the Internet is so attractive, and they want to know if it can be harmful to their children. Should parents worry if their children are spending that much time staring at their computers?Obviously; if children are bent over their computers for hours, absorbed in some game, instead of doing their homework, then something is wrong. Parents and children could decide how much use the child should make of the Internet, and the child should give his or her word that it won’t interfere with homework. If the child is not holding to this arrangement, the parent can take more drastic steps dealing with a child's use of the Internet is not much different from negotiating any other soft of bargain about behaviour.Any parent who is seriously alarmed about a child's behaviour should make an appointment to discuss the matter with a teacher. Spending time in front of the screen does not necessarily affect a child's performance at school. Even if a child is absolutely crazy about using the Internet,he or she is probably just going through a phase, and in a few months there will be something else to worry about!+第十三篇The Old GateIn the Middle Ages the vast majority of European cities had walls around them. This was partly for defensive reasons but another factor was the need to keep out anyone regarded as undesirable, like people with contagious diseases. The Old City of London gates were all demolished by the end of the 18th century. The last of London's gates was removed a century ago, but by a stroke of luck, it was never destroyed.This gate is, in actual fact, not called a gate at all; its name is Temple Bar, and it marked the boundary between the Old City of London and Westminster. In 1878 the Council of London took the Bar down, numbered the stones and put the gate in storage because its design was unfashionable it was expensive to maintain and it was blocking the traffic.The Temple Bar Trust was set up in the 1970's with the intention of returning the gate home. The aim of the trust is the preservation of the nation's architectural heritage. Transporting the gate will mean physically pulling it down, stone by stone, removing and rebuilding it near St Paul's Cathedral. Most of the facade of the gate will probably be replaced, though there is a good chance that the basic structure will be sound. The hardest job of all, however, will be to recreate the statues of the monarchs that once stood on top of the gate.+第十四篇Family HistoryIn an age when technology is developing faster than ever before, many people are being attracted to the idea of looking back into the past. One way they can do this is by ìinvestigating their own family history. They can try to find out more about where their families came from and what they did, This is now a fast—growing hobby, especially in countries with a fairly short history, like Australia and the United States.It is one thing to spend some time going through a book on family history and to take the decision to investigate your own family's past. It is quite another to carry out the research work successfully. It is easy to set about it in a disorganized way and cause yourself many problems which could have been avoided with a little forward planning.If your own family stories tell you that you are connected with a famous character, whether hero or criminal, do not let this idea take over your research. Just treat it as aninteresting possibility. A simple system for collecting and storing your information willbe adequate to start with; a more complex one may only get in your way. The mostimportant thing, though, is to get started. Who knows what you might find?+第十五篇Helen and MartinWith a thoughtful sigh, Helen turned away from the window and wa1ked back to her favourite armchair. Would her brother never arrive? For a brief moment, she wondered if she really cared that much.Over the years Helen had given up waiting for Martin to take an interest in her. Her feelings for him had gradually weakened until now, as she sat waiting for him, she experienced no more than a sister's. curiosity to see what had become of her brother.Almost without warning, Martin had lost, his job with a busy publishing company after spending the last eight years in New Y ork as a key figure in the US office. Somehow the two of them hadn't bothered to keep in touch and, left alone, Helen had slowly found her confidence in her own judgment growing. Ignoring the wishes of her parents, she had left university halfway through her course and now, to the astonishment of the whole family, she was gaining a fast-growing reputation in the pages of respected art magazines and was actually earning enough to live on from her paintings.Of course, she took no pleasure in Martin's sudden misfortune, but she couldn't help looking forward to her brother's arrival with quiet satisfaction at what she had achieved.。

David, 64, lives in a three-bedroomed flat right at the top of the Byward Tower, one of the gatehouses. " From our bedroom we have a marvellous view of Tower Bridge and the Thames, " says David.The Tower of London is famous for its ravens, the large black birds which have lived there for over three centuries. David was immediately fascinated by the birds and when he was offered the post of Raven Master eight years ago he had no hesitation in accepting it. "The birds have now become my life and I'm always aware of the fact that I am maintaining a tradition. The legend says that if the ravens leave the Tower, England will fall to enemies, and it's my job to make sure this doesn't happen!"David devotes about four hours a day to the care of the ravens. He has grown to love them and the fact that he lives right next to them is ideal. "I can keep a close eye on them all the time, and not just when I'm working." At first, David's wife Mo was not keen on the idea of life in the Tower, but she too will be sad to leave when he retires next year. "When we look out of our windows, we see history all around us, and we are taking it in and storing it up for our future memories."第二篇 A Lucky Break 幸运的骨折Actor Antonio Banderas is used to breaking bones, and it always seems to happen when he's doing sport. In the film Play it to the Bone he plays the part of a middleweight boxer alongside Woody Harrelson. During the making of the film Harrelson kept complaining that the fight scenes weren't very convincing, so one day he suggested that he and Banderas should have a fight for real. The Spanish actor wasn't keen on the idea at first, but he was eventually persuaded by his co-star to put on his gloves and climb into the boxing ring. However, when he realized how seriously his opponent was taking it all, he began to regret his decision to fight. And then in the third round, Harrelson hit Banderas so hard in the face that he actually broke his nose. His wife, actress Melanie Griffith, was furious that he had been playing "silly macho games". "She was right," confesses Banderas, "and I was a fool to take a risk like that in the middle of a movie."He was reminded of the time he broke his leg during a football match in his native Malaga. He had always dreamed of becoming a soccer star, of performing in front of a big crowd, but doctors told him his playing days were probably over.

What happened to me on that football pitch was, you might say, my first lucky break."第三篇Global Warming 全球变暖Few people now question the reality of global warming and its effects on the world's climate. Many scientists put the blame for recent natural disasters on the increase in the world's temperatures and are convinced that, more than ever before, the Earth is at risk from the forces of the wind, rain and sun. According to them, global warming is making extreme weather events, such as hurricanes and droughts, even more severe and causing sea levels all around the world to rise .Environmental groups are putting pressure on governments to take action to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide which is given off by factories and power plants, thus attacking the problem at its source. They are in favour of more money being spent on research into solar, wind and wave energy devices, which could then replace existing power stations.Some scientists, however believe that even if we stopped releasing carbon dioxide and other gases into the atmosphere tomorrow, we would have to wait several hundred years to notice the results. Global warming, it seems, is here to stay.第四篇 A Success Story 一个成功的故事At 19, Ben Way is already a millionaire, and one of a growing number of teenagers who have made their fortune through the Internet.

Consumers have benefited greatly from those advances. Malthusians, whose descendants until quite recently predicted that the world would run out of food, have thereby been confounded. More and more food is being produced by fewer and fewer people with less and less capital; it is therefore ever more plentiful and cheaper. Since demand is to some extent limited by the size of people's stomachs, spending on food compared with other goods has been falling for many years, and continues to drop (see chart 4).

How technology pushes down price
The Treaty of Breda, signed in 1667 after a war between the English and Dutch in which the English were worsted, gave the Dutch the big prize: Run, a small island in the Indonesian archipelago which was the world's principal source of nutmeg. The margin on nutmeg at the time was around 3,200%. The English, as a consolation prize, got Manhattan. As an illustration of the long-term fall in food prices compared with other goods, that is a sharp one. But deflation has characterized the food business for centuries, because of continual advances in food production and distribution technology.

2012年职称英语考试(综合类A级)完形填空原文及译文目录+11 School Lunch(学校午餐) (1)+12 A Powerful Influence(强大的影响) (2)+13 The Old Gate(古老之门) (2)+14 Family History(家族史) (3)+15 Helen and Martin(海伦和马丁) (4)+11 School Lunch(学校午餐)研究显示,在英国超过一半以上的儿童将午餐带到学校去吃而不是在中午饭点正常吃。
英国学校在午餐时间会正常提供午餐,孩子们可以选择带餐过去或者在食堂就餐。
在此项研究中,一项令人震惊的发现显示,学校提供的午餐比家长准备的更加健康。
学校午餐有着严格的准备标准:包括一份水果、一种蔬菜和肉、奶制品以及含有大量淀粉的食物,如面包、意大利面食。
然而被检查的学生自带的饭盒中含有甜饮料、薯条和巧克力棒。
学生摄取的糖分是他们应当在午餐中摄取的2倍。
这份调查研究对为什么在过去的十年中英国学生的超重人数上升提供了一个更好的解释。
但不幸的是,政府不能批评家长但却可以提醒他们牛奶、水果、蔬菜的营养价值。
孩子们饮食上小小的改变可能会影响他们未来的健康。
孩子们在这样的年龄段很容易养成坏习惯,家长却是唯一能够阻止这件事发生的人。
Research has shown that over half the children in Britain who take their own lunches to school do not eat (1) properly in the middle of the day. In Britain schools have to (2) provide meals at lunchtime. Children can (3) choose to bring their own food or have lunch at the school canteen.One shocking (4) finding of this research is that school meals are much healthier than lunches prepared by parents. There are strict (5) standards for the preparation of school meals, which have to include one (6) portion of fruit and one of vegetables, as well as meat, a dairy item and starchy food like bread or pasta.

Unfortunately, the government cannot (11) criticize parents, but it can remind them of the (12) nutritional value of milk, fruit and vegetables. Small changes in their children's diet can (13) affect their future health. Children can easily develop bad eating (14) habits at this age, and parents are the only ones who can (15) prevent it.+12 A Powerful Influence(强大的影响)毫无疑问,互联网给我们的生活带来了巨大改变,家长们担心孩子们在网上花费大量的时间,在他们的课余时间几乎不做其他事情。

For years,we did not know for sure.But archeologists(考古学家) recently discovered an ancient village near the pyramids.Close by.there was also a cemetery(墓地)where pyramid builders were buried.From studying these places,archeologists can now confirm that the pyramids were not built by slaves or foreigners.Ordinary Egyptians built them.2 It took about eighty years to build the pyramids.According to archeologists.about 20,000-30,000 people were involved in completing the task.The workers had different roles.Some dug up the rock.some moved it,and some shaped it into blocks.People also worked on different teams. each with its ownname.On a wall in Khufu’s Great Pyramid,for example,a group of workers wrote “Fnends of Khufu.”Teams often competed to do a job faster.3 Life for these workers was hard.“We can see that in their skeletons(骨架).”says Azza Mohamed Sarry El-Din.a scientist studying bodies found in the cemetery.The bones show signs of arthritis(关节炎),which developed from carrying heavy things for a long time.Archeologists have also found many female skeletons in the village and cemetery.The damage to their bones is similar to the men’s.Their lives may have been even tougher:male workers lived to age 40—45.but women to only 30—35.However, workers usually had enough food.and they also had medical care if they got sick or hurt.4 The work was challenging, but laborers were proud of their work.“It's because they were not just building the tomb of their king.”says Egyptian archeologist Zahi Hawass.“They were building Egypt.It was a national project.and everyone was a participant.”23 Paragraph l24 Paragraph 225 Paragraph 326 Paragraph 4A Pyramid builders’ tough livesB An important national projectC Female pyramid builders:the challengesD Female pyramid builders’ jobE Builders of the pyramidsF Egyptian salves27 The pyramids of Giza were built .28 To build the pyramids,the workers had different roles and worked .29 Both men and women workers suffered from arthritis which developed .30 The pyramid builders were proud .A by foreignersB of their workC by ordinary EgyptiansD on different teamsE of their kingF from taking heavy things第4部分:阅读理解(第31-45题,每题3分,共45分).下面有3篇短文,每篇短文后有5道题.请根据短文内容,为每题确定l个最佳选项.第一篇The Changing Middle ClassThe United States perceives itself to be a middle-class nation.However,middle class is not a real designation,nor does it carry privileges(特权).It is more of a perception,which probably was as true as it ever could be right after World War Ⅱ.The economy was growing,more and more people owned their own homes.workers had solid contracts with the companies that employed them, and nearlyeveryone who wanted a higher education could have one.Successful people enjoyed upward social mobility.They may have started out poor, but they could become rich.Successful people also found that they had greater geographic mobility.In other words.they found themselves moving to and living in a variety of places.The middle class collectively holds several values and principles.One strong value is the need to earn enough money to feel that one can determine one’s own economic fate.In addition,middle-class morality(道德观)embraces principles of individual responsibility,importance of family, obligations to others, and believing in something outside oneself.But in the l990s those in the middle class found that there was a price for success.AU.S. News & World Report survey in l994 indicated that 75 percent of Americans believed that middle-class families could no longer make ends meet.Both spouses(配偶)now worked,as didsome of the children,long commutes(通勤)became routine,the need for child care put strains on the family.and public schools were not as good as they once were.Members of the middle class were no longer financing their lifestyles through earnings but were using credit to stay afloat(透支).The understanding of just what middle class meant was changing.31 This passage gives information about .A an individualB a social and economic groupC a political organizationD a government department32 In the years after World War Ⅱ, the middle class were .A overburdened and in debtB hard working and doubtfulC happy and full of hopeD young and upset33 One important middle-class value isthat .A people should always have funB children should believe in themselvesC debt is nothing to worry aboutD they should earn enough to finance their lifestyles34 In the second paragraph, the word “collectively” means .A commonlyB hesitatinglyC unknowinglyD weakly35 The l994 survey showed most Americans thought the middle class .A took pleasure in raising childrenB had a regular journey to workC could not earn enough money to maintain their lifestylesD could easily maintain their lifestyles第二篇Puerto Rican Cuisine(菜肴)Puerto Rico, a Caribbean (加勒比海区) island rich in history and remarkable natural beauty, has a cuisine all its own. Immigration(移民) to the island has helped to shape its cuisine, with people from all over the world making various contributions to it. However, before the arrival of these immigrants, the Taino people lived on the island of Puerto Rico. Taino cuisine included such foods as rodents (啮齿动物), fresh shellfish and fish fried in corn oil.Many aspects of Taino cuisine continue today in Puerto Rican cooking, but it has been heavily influenced by the Spanish, who invaded Puerto Rico in 1508, and Africans, who were initially brought to Puerto Rico to work as slaves. Taino cooking styles were mixed with ideas brought by the Spanish and Africans to create new dishes. The Spanish extended food choices by bringing cattle, pigs, goats, and sheepto the island. Africans also added to the island's food culture by introducing powerful, contrasting tastes in dishes. In fact, much of the food Puerto Rico is now famous for - coffee, coconuts, and oranges - was actually imported by foreigners to the island.A common assumption many people make about Puerto Rican food is that it is veryspicy(辛辣的). It's true that chili peppers are popular; aij caballero in particular is a very hot chili pepper that Puerto Ricans enjoy. However, milder(微辣的) tastes are popular too, such as sofrito. As the base of many Puerto Rican dishes, sofrito is a sauce made from chopped onions, green bell peppers, sweet chili peppers, and a handful of other spices. It is fried in oil and then added to other dishes.36、who lived in Puerto Rico firstA. the Taino peopleB. the AfricansC. the SpanishD. the Americans37、In the first paragraph the word “it” refers toA. immigrationB. Puerto Rican cuisineC. Caribbean historyD. the island’s natural beauty38、what is the main idea of the second paragraph?A. Taino dishes are important in Puerto Rican cookingB. Puerto Rican cooking has many outside influencesC. Food imported by foreigners isn’t really Puerto RicanD. African foods have probably had the most influence39、How is sofrito used?A. It is eaten before mealsB. It is added to other dishesC. It is used where foods are too spicyD. It is eaten as a main dish40、which of the following is NOT true?A. Many people think Puerto Rican food is spicyB. Puerto Rican cuisine uses a lot of chili peppersC. softito is a type of extremely spicy foodD. Aij caballero is a type of chile pepper第三篇From Ponzi to MadoffThe year was l920.The country was the United States of America.The man’s name was Charles Ponzi.Ponzi told people to stop depositing money in a savings account.Instead.they should give it to him to save for them.Ponzi promised to pay them more than the bank.For example, a savings account might pay you $5 a year for every $100 you deposit.Ponzi,however,would pay you $40 ayear for every $100 you gave him to hold. Many people thought this was a good plan.They began to give their money to Ponzi.How could Ponzi make so much money for people? This is what he did with the money people gave him:He used some of that money to pay other people who gave him money.However, he also kept a lot of the money for himself.Soon he had $250 million.This was a kind of theft, and it was against the law.The people who gave him their money didn’t think anything was wrong.Ponzi paid them every month.just like a bank.Ponzi continued this way of working for two years.Then one day, he didn’t have enough money to pay all the people.They discovered his crime.and he went to prison for fraud.Ninety years later, people began to hear about a businessman in New York named Bernard Mad off.People said he gave good advice about money.They said when they gave him their money.he paid them a lot more thanthe bank.Mad off helped hospitals, schools,and individuals earn money.Over a period of 40 years.people gave him $170 billion.However, no one investigated what he did with the money.The people who gave Madoff their money also didn’t think anything was wrong because he paid them every month.One day, Madoff didn’t have enough money to pay all the people he needed to pay.That’s when people discovered how Madoff worked:He was taking money from some people to pay other people,just the way Chades Ponzi did.However,this time,instead of losing millions of dollars.people lost billions.Madoff was accused of fraud, and United States government officials arrested him.He didn’t have to go on trial because he said he was guilty.In 2009,a judge sentenced him to 150 years in prison.Bernard Madoff’s crime was even bigger than Ponzi’s.It was the biggest fraud in history.The lesson of this story isclear:When something seems too good to be true,it probably is!41 For every $100,Ponzi promised to pay people .A $5 a yearB $20 a yearC $40 a yearD $100 a year42 What did Ponzi do with the money people gave him?A He spent it all on things for himself.B He deposited it all in a bank.C He kept it all to save for a good plan.D He used some of it to pay other people.43 What was Ponzi’s crime?A He kept a lot of other people’s money for himself.B He robbed the banks of millions of dollars.C He gave people more than the bank did.D He did not pay people their interests.44 How long did Madoff’s tricks last?A Four year.B Nine years.C Forty years.D Ninety years.45 Why didn’t Madoff have to go on trial?A The officials couldn’t find any evidence against him.B He admitted he was guilty.C He had friends in the govemment who helped him.D He returned all the illegal money.第5部分:补全短文(第46-50题,每题2分,共l0分)下面的短文有5处空白,短文后有6个句子,其中5个取自短文,请根据短文内容将其分别放回原有位置,以恢复文章原貌.Forests for CitiesYou are standing in a beautiful forest in Japan.The air is clean and smells like plants and flowers.There are l75 different kinds of trees,and 60 kinds of birds live here.(46)You are downtown in the city of Nara,Japan,in Kasugayama Forest,the oldest urban forest in the world.It was started more than a thousand years ago,and today it's very popular with tourists and artists.Cities around the world are working to protect their urban forests.Some urban forests are parks,and some are just streets with a lot of trees.But all urban forests have many good effects on the environment.(47)They also stop the noise from heavy traffic.They even make the weather better because they make the air 3-5 degrees cooler,and they stop strong winds.Urban forests also have many good effects on people.They make the city more beautiful.In a crowded area,they give people a place to relax and spend time in nature.(48)In some countries,people are starting new urban forests.In England,there are now 1.3 million trees in an urban forest called Thames Chase,east of London.It was started in 1990,and it has grown very fast. Walking and bicycle clubs use the forest,and there are programs for children and artists.(49)Some older cities don't have space for a big urban forest,but planting trees on the streets makes the city better. Scientists found that commuters(通勤人员)feel more relaxed when they can see trees.Trees are even good for business.(50)In the future, urban forests will become even more important as our cities grow bigger.In the megacities(超大城市)of tomorrow,people will need more green space to live a comfortable life.Planting trees today will make our lives better in the future.A Trees take pollution out of the air.B In 2033.it will have 5 million trees.C But you are not in a rural area.D It has many kinds of birds in the country.E In hot countries,urban forests are cool places for walking and other healthy exercises.F People spend more time at shopping centers that have trees.第6部分:完形填空(第51~65题,每题l 分,共15分)下面的短文有l5处空白,请根据短文内容为每处空白确定l个最佳选项。

Think of all the things you can do with a mouse like selecting text for copying and pasting1,drawing,and even scrolling on the page with the newer mice with the wheel. Most of us use the computer mouse daily without stopping to think2 how it works until it gets dirty and we have to learn how to clean it. We learn to point at things before we learn to speak,so the mouse is a very natural pointing device. Qther computer pointing devices include light pens,graphics tablets and touch screens,but the mouse is still our workhorse.The computer mouse was invented in 1964 by Douglas Englehart of Stanford University. As computer screens became more popular and arrow keys were used to move around a body of text,it became clear that a pointing device that allowed easier motion through the text and even selection of text would be very useful. The introduction of the mouse,with the Apple Lisa computer in 1983,really started the computer public on the road to relying on the mouse for routine computer tasks.3How does the mouse work? We have to start at the bottom,so think upside down for now. It all starts with the mouse ball. As the mouse ball in the bottom of the mouse rolls over the mouse pad,it presses against and turns two shafts. The shafts are connected to wheels with several small holes in them. The wheels have a pair of small electronic light-emitting devices called light-emitting diodes (LED) mounted on either side4. One LED sends a light beam to the LED on the other side. As the wheels spin and a hole rotates by,the light beam gets through to the LED on the other side. But a moment later the light beam is blocked until the next hole is in place. The LED detects achanging pattern of light,converts the pattern into an electronic signal,and sends the signal to the computer through wires in a cable that goes out of the mouse body. This cable is the tail that helps give the mouse its name. The computer interprets the signal to tell it where to position the cursor on the computer screen.So far we have only discussed the basic computer mouse that most of you probably have or have used.5One problem with this design is that the mouse gets dirty as the ball rolls over the surface and picks up dirt. Eventually you have to clean your mouse. The newer optical mice avoid this problem by having no moving parts.练习:1. Most computer users want to know how the computer mouse works. B Wrong2. According to the author,general computer users need not to know how the computer mouse was invented. C Not mentioned3、out its body,which looks like the tail of a mouse. A Right4. The key components of a computer mouse are the two LEDs. A Right5. When an ordinary computer mouse gefs dirty,it has to be replaced with a new one. B Wrong6.

It may seem like an ordinary end to a humble life,but there was something quite exceptional about this woman. 1In the summer of 1995 ,McCarty gave $ 150,000,most of the money she had saved throughout her life,to the University of Southern Mississippi in her hometown. The money was to help other African Americans through university. She had started her savings habit as a young child when she would return from school to clean and iron for money which she would then save.She led a simple,frugal existence,never spending on anything but her most basic needs. 2 Her bank also advised her on investing her hard-earned savings.When she retired,she decided that she wanted to use the money to give children of limited Means the opportunity to go to university. 3 She had wanted to become a nurse,but had to leave school to look after ill relatives and work. When asked why she had given her life savings away,she replied,―I‘m giving it away so that children won't have to work so hard,like I did. ‖ After news of her donation hit the media,over 600 donations were made to the scholarship fund. One was given by media executive,Ted Turner,who reputedly gave a billion dollars.She didn't want any fuss made over her gift,but the news got out and she was invited all over the United States to talk to people. Wherever she went ,people would come up to her to say a few words or to just touch her. She met the ordinary and the famous,President Clinton included. In the last few years of her life,before she died of cancer,McCarty was given over 300 awards:she was honoured by the United Nations and received the Presidential Citizen' s Medal. Despitehaving no real education,she found herself with two honorary doctorates:one from the University of Southern Mississippi and the other from Harvard University. Her generosity was clearly an inspiration to many and proof that true selflessness does exist.词汇:frugal /'fru:gəl/ adj. 节约的,俭朴的,花钱少的,物质的,廉价的fuss /fʌs / n. 慌乱,小题大做,抱怨争吵V. 忙donation /dəv‘neifə n/ n. 捐赠,捐款,捐赠的乱,(为小事)烦恼抱怨注释:1.
