B
Companies with female board members are more likely to make decisions that benefit everyone from investors
to staff, a study showed. Business school researchers said the findings show that having women in the boardroom is not just good for equality but good for business too.
The study surveyed 600 board directors about their approach to decision making and other company
problems. It found that when there were conflicting interests, women board members tended to make fairer decisions than men.
Female directors are more likely to consider how the decision will affect others, whether it is employees, investors for example. To do this, women on the board are also more likely to use others in the decision making process, which leads to a much more c o­operative feeling within the company itself. As a consequence, female influenced companies are generally more successful than those only in the charge of males.
Of the 600 board members studied, 75 percent were male and it found men were more likely to make decisions based on rules, regulations and traditional methods. Women, however, were more likely to try new ways. Professor Bart said, “We've known for some time that companies that have more women on their boards have better results. ”Our findings sho w that having women on the board is no longer just the right thing but also the smart thing to do. “Companies with few female directors may actually be shortchanging their investors.”
Gregory McQueen said, “Women seem to be more inquisitive and to see more possible solutions. At the board level where directors have to act in the best interest of the corporation while taking the viewpoints of multiple stakeholders into account, this quality makes them more effective corporate directors.” Previ ous studies have shown that corporations with women on the board perform better and are less likely to go bankrupt.
5．What's the main idea of the passage?
A．Benefits of having women board members
B．Advantages about corporations with women
C．Popular female directors
D．Female directors and male directors
答案：A 主旨大意题。

根据文章首段首句Companies with female board members are more likely to make decisions that benefit everyone from investors to staff, a study showed.可知，文章从一项研究调查开始展开大意，即公司中拥有女性董事成员的好处。

6．What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A．Female directors will only take investors seriously.
B．Women on the board think little of others in the decision making process.
C．Companies only in the charge of males are less successful than those having female directors.
D．Women on the board have less co­operative feeling.
答案：C 细节理解题。

根据第三段最后一句As a consequence, female influenced companies are generally more successful than those only in the charge of males.可知公司里拥有女性董事，公司效益更好。

7．Which section of a website do you think the passage probably belongs to?
A．Entertainment B．Science
C．Education D．Career
答案：D 推理判断题。

根据全文谈及的公司董事会成员的话题推断应该和“事业，职业”有关，所以选D。

8．The underlined word “inquisitive” in the last paragraph can be replaced by ________.
A．curious B．interested
C．co­operative D．considerate
答案：A 词义猜测题。

根据语境Women seem to be more inquistive and to see more possible solutions.可知女性似乎有更强的好奇心，能找出更多的可行的解决方案。

C
When you feel tired, how do you relax? Drink coffee, take a bath, do some exercise，or play some music and dance?
For dance music fans and nightclub lovers, the world famous English DJ(disco jockey)Sasha will bring them the world's finest dance music. He is coming to Guangzhou, Beijing and Shanghai on November 18—20 as part of his world tour in support of his new CD. One of the main roles of music has always been going with dancing. However, today's dance music is very different from that of the past. The history of dance music goes back to the 16th century. In the Renaissance(文艺复兴)and Baroque(巴洛克)period of Europe, rich people expected to be able to dance at social events. Each type of dance gave rise to its own form of music.
During the 18th and 19th centuries the most popular dances were the waltz(华尔兹舞)and the polka(波尔卡舞). In this period, dances were often written for the concert hall. For example, symphonies(交响乐)would
have a waltz movement, and piano pieces were sometimes in the waltz or polka.
In the 1970s, dance music moved into new places called discos. The music was faster, had more bass and started to become more electronic. Disco music began to develop in the US and around Europe. By the 1980s the music became much faster and even more electronic.
In the 1990s clubs took over discos. DJs mixed other people's music. Club dance rhythms(韵律)became a major part of popular music. Club dance music has different forms, including drum and bass(低音乐器), hip­hop, R & B. It made use of technology and DJs to play a bigger part in spreading the music.
文章大意：舞蹈从一产生便和音乐密不可分，舞蹈离不开音乐，音乐在舞蹈艺术中占有非常重要的地位。

舞曲由于时代、民族特点、功能和用途的不同而有多种类型。

9．Which of the following does not show the difference between today's dance music and that of the past?
A．A greater variety of forms.
B．More technology is made use of.
C．The music is faster.
D．Today's music is more professional.
答案：D 细节理解题。

前三个选项的内容在文中都涉及到了，只有D项内容文章没有提及。

10．Which of the following is correct according to the order of each type becoming popular?
a．waltz B．disco music c．R & B
A．a­b­c B．b­a­c
C．a­c­b D．b­c­a
答案：A 细节理解题。

文章第四、五、六段分别提到三者出现的时间，由此可知A项正确。

11．According to the passage, a DJ's job is mainly to________.
A．develop disco music
B．create music for the club
C．put different music forms together
D．choose and play music using technology
答案：D 推理判断题。

由文章最后一段的第二句和最后一句可推断出答案为D。

D
Societies all over the world name places in similar ways. Quite often
there is no official naming ceremony but places tend to be called names as points of reference by people. Then an organized body steps in and gives the place a name. Frequently it happens that a place has two names：One is named by the people and the other by the government. As in many areas, old habits die_hard，and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost.
Many roads and places in Singapore are named in order that the pioneers will be remembered by future generations. Thus we have names such as Stamford Road and Raffles Place. This is in keeping with traditions in many countries—in both the West and the East.
Another way of naming places is naming them after other places. Perhaps they were named to promote friendships between the two places or it could be that the people who used to live there were originally from the places that the roads were named after. The mystery is clearer when we see some of the roads named in former British bases. If you step into Selector Airbase you will see Piccadilly Circus—obviously named by some homesick Royal Air Force personnel.
Some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those places. Bras Basah Road is an interesting example. “Bras Basah” means “wet rice” in Malay(马来语). Now why would anyone want to name a road “Wet Rice Road”？ The reason is simple. During the pioneering days，wet rice was laid out to dry along this road.
A few roads in Singapore are named by their shapes. There is “Circular Road” for one. Other roads may have part of their names to describe their shapes, like “Paya Lebar Crescent”. This road is called a crescent (月牙)because it begins on the main road，makes a crescent and comes back to join the main road again.
12．We learn from Paragraph 1 that ________.
A. the government is usually the first to name a place
B. many places tend to have more than one name
C. a ceremony will be held when a place is named
D. people prefer the place names given by the government
答案：B 推理判断题。

从第一段第四句“Frequently it happens that a place has two names: One is named...”可知应选B项。

13．What does the underlined phrase “die hard” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Change suddenly.
B. Change significantly.
C. Disappear mysteriously.
D. Disappear very slowly.
答案：D 猜测词义题。

从die hard后的“... and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost.”的意思判断die hard的词义应为：消失得很慢。

14．Which of the following places is named after a person?
A. Raffles Place.
B. Selector Airbase.
C. Piccadilly Circus.
D. Paya Lebar Crescent.
答案：A 事实细节题。

根据第二段的第一句(特别是pioneers“先驱者”一词)和第二句的内容得知：Raffles Place应是指先驱者的名字。

15．Bras Basah Road is named________.
A．after a person B．after a place
C．after an activity D．by its shape
答案：C 事实细节题。

根据第四段的第一句和第二句可以很明确地判断：Bras Basah是活动名称。

第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

Muzak
The next time you go into a bank, a store, or a supermarket, stop and listen. What do you hear？__16__It's similar to the music you listen to, but it's not exactly the same. That's because this music was especially designed to relax you, or to give you extra energy. Sometimes you don't even realize the music is playing, but you react to the music anyway.
Quiet background music used to be called“elevator(电
梯)music”because we often heard it in elevators. But lately we hear it in more and more places, and it has a new name“Muzak”. About one­third of the people in America listen to“Muzak”every day. The music plays for 15 minutes at a time, with short pauses in between. It is always more lively between ten and eleven in the morning, and between three and four in the afternoon, when people are more tired.__17__.
If you listen to Muzak carefully, you will probably recognize the names of many of the songs. Some musicians or songwriters don't want their songs to be used as Muzak but others are happy when their songs are chosen. Why？__18__.
Music is often played in public places because it is designed to make people feel less lonely when they are in an airport or a hotel. It has been proven that Muzak does what it is designed to do. Tired office workers suddenly have more energy when they hear the pleasant sound of
Muzak in the background.__19__Supermarket shoppers buy 38 percent more groceries.
__20__They say it's boring to hear the same songs all the time. But other people enjoy hearing Muzak in public places. They say it helps them relax and feel calm. One way or another. Muzak affects everyone. Some farmers even say their cows give more milk when they hear Muzak!
A．Some people don't like Muzak.
B．The music gives them extra energy.
C．Music is playing in the background.
D．Factory workers produce 13 percent more.
E．Muzak tends to help people understand music better.
F．They get as much as $4 million a year if their songs are used.
G．Muzak is played in most of the big supermarkets in the world.

答案：
Good morning, boys and girls. Here I'd like to share my study habits.
Planning is very important. I often make a list of weekly tasks on
Sunday. Then a schedule for study, relaxation, hobbies, and other things
will be planned so that I can do the right thing at the right time.
Making good use of the time in class is beneficial. Listening to
teachers carefully means less work later. Notes can help us remember what
the teacher said.
A good attitude towards tests is helpful. Tests help us know what we should spend more time studying, and they also help us strengthen what we have learned.
That's all. Thank you.。
