Passage 1The secret of being born lucky is a summer birthday, with May babies most likely to enjoy a lifetime’s good fortune, according to a study of more than 40,000 people. The time of year at which you are born has an enduring influence on levels of optimism and self-reported luck, according to research by British and Swedish scientists. May was the luckiest month in which to be born, with 50 per cent of those born then considering themselves lucky, while October was the least lucky month, with just 43 percent claiming good fortune.The findings add to growing evidence that the phenomenon of luck is not all down to chance, but is affected by a person’ s general disposition.Other research has shown that whether people think themselves fortunate depends less on objective success than on having a “glass half-full” or “half-empty” approach to life. “What we are seeing suggests that something is influencing how people perceive their luckiness. My hypothesis is that people create their own luck by traits such as optimism, that luck is a psychological phenomenon rather than a matter of blind chance,” said Professor Richard Wise man, who led the research.The pattern of the results, with those born in spring and summer reporting themselves luckier than those born in autumn or winter, could have two potential explanations, Professor Wiseman said.1.

They say facial features can determine whether we like or trust someone. It may even influence how we vote.“Over the years, we have found that facial features affect the way many of us perceive others,” says Elisabeth Cornwell, a psychology researcher at the university’s Perception Laboratory. Studies suggest that people are less likely to trust those with particularly masculine features, such as a square jaw, small eyes or big nose. “They are perceived as dominant and less trustworthy,” says MsCornwell. “It doesn’t mean that men who look more masculine are less trustworthy—It’s just our first impressions. “ Those wit h less masculine features—larger eyes, a smaller nose and thinner lips—are deemed to be more trustworthy. “We are very good at processing these features quickly,” says Ms Cornwell.The researchers are putting their science to the test at the Royal society’s annual summer exhibition in London. They have subtly manipulated the faces of Prime Minister Tony Blair, Conservative leader Michael Howard and Liberal Democrat leader Charles Kennedy accentuating their dominant and trustworthy features respectively. “We have used a computer programme to change the shape of their face and features. We hope it will help people to understand our work.” So should we expect to see Tony Blair, Michael Howard and Charles Kennedy at the exhibition getting tips “I don’t think it’s something they will want to try,” says Ms Cornwell. “It’s not really possible with television. We all know what they look like. I think they would be naive to try it.”1. Why are people less likely to trust those with particularly masculine featuresA) Because they are bad-tempered.B) Because they are perceived as dominant and less trustworthy.C) Because they are perceived as tricky.D) Because they are more stubborn.2.

Why will Tony Blair not want to change his facial features according to the passageA) Because he is so popular that everyone knows what he looks like.B) Because he does not want to get tips.C) Because he has great confidence in his looks.D) Because he is very naive.5..

Students are also less prepared to tolerate poor quality living conditions than their predecessors, says the survey by British polling organization Mori.More than 1,000 full-time undergraduates and postgraduates from 21 universities across the UK were surveyed for the research. It shows that location is the key factor in choosing accommodation for students—nearly half of those interviewed said that being close to their place of study was the most important factor in their choice. Cost came second, with evidence that many parents foot the bills for their children’s rent. The survey also shows that students are no longer prepared to carry bags of washing to the nearest launderette. These newcomers expectwashers and dryers to be provided with their accommodation. The study also highlights those things today’s students expect as standard—communal areas to be cleaned regularly, utility bills to be included, even private car parking space to be included.Separate findings from the UK’s National Union of Students published earlie r this year show more than half of students in private rented accommodation are living in unsatisfactory conditions.1.

Passage 4The former first lady and now New York Senator, Hillary Rodham Clinton, has written a book about her eight years in the White House. It is being released with a great deal of public fanfare. The book reveals details about the notorious Monica Lewinsky scandal involving her husband, President Clinton.In Living History, the wife of former President Clinton recounts the moment when Mr. Clinton informed her that he had, fact, had what he called “a relationship that was not appropriate” with Miss Lew insky, then a White House intern.

I was trying to protect you and Chelsea, referring to their daughter.”Mrs. Clinton says she hopes that people will read the book for more than intimate details of her troubled marriage. “It’ s a pretty long book, and it’s about my life, and it’s about all of the issues that I’ve worked on, particularly on behalf of women and children, and things that I’ ye cared about literally since I was a little girl,” she said. “I think it will give people more insight and, perhaps,answer questions. It’s also my story.”Publisher Simon & Schuster paid Senator Clinton $ 8 million for the 560-page book, and has ordered an unusually large first printing of one-million copies.

Canadian health officials confirmed Thursday that the unidentified man died sometime this summer. The man, who lived in the western province of Saskatchewan, contracted the disease from eating contaminated meat while traveling in Britain.Dr. Antonio Giulivi, an official with the government agency Health Canada, quickly moved to calm fears by assuring the public the disease had not entered the Canadian food supply.The variant of the cow-killing illness, known as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, is believed to be caused when ground parts of diseased cattle are mixed into cattle feed and those cows are turned into processed meats for human consumption. Though the disease cannot be confirmed until an autopsy is performed on the dead brain, symptoms of human infection include uncontrolled shaking, dementia and finally paralysis.But while government officials insisted safeguards are in place to keep the disease out of Canadian meat, warnings were issued to 71 patients at the hospital where the infected man was treated before his illness was identified. Those patients had been treated with the same medical instruments used on the diseased man. Though the instruments were cleaned and disinfected, officials said a theoretical possibility remains that those people could have been infected.News of the death initially sent Canadian restaurant stocks into a tailspin, but most of them recovered by the end of the trading session.1.

N. -sponsored sustainable development summit in Johannesburg.The report says sea levels rose and forests were destroyed at unprecedented ratesduring the last decade. It notes that more than 40 percent of the world’s population—two billion people now face water shortages. And it predicts that with the global population expected to increase from six billion to eight billion people over the next 25 years, further environmental stress is expected. . Undersecretary General Nitin Desai says the most important message in the report is that the world’s environmental crises are interrelated. As an example, he cites the “Asian Brown Cloud,” a “poisonous cocktail” of particulate matter, chemicals, and various aerosols currently hanging over a vast area of southeast Asia.“Here you have a situation which arises because of the unsustainable way energy is used in this region, which is leading to these problems which impact on agriculture, on water, on health,” said Mr. Desai. “If you really want to address water, agriculture and health, you have to address energy. You can’t reduc e poverty unless you also address land and water. You can’t improve children’s health without addressing water and sanitation and air quality.”Mr. Desai, who will lead the Earth Summit, says that governments must form specific partnerships to reduce threats in five areas: water, energy, agriculture, biodiversity and health.1.

It is located in the community of Hyde Park—South Ken-wood, a culturally rich and ethnically diverse neighborhood, seven miles south of downtown Chicago.The University was founded by John D. Rockefeller. William Rainey Harper was its first president. Classes began on October 1, 1892, with an enrollment of 594 students and a faculty of 103, including eight former college presidents. In 1930 the undergraduate College and the graduate divisions were created.

Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced more depression and loneliness than those who logged on less frequently, the two- year study showed. And it wasn’t t hat people who were already feeling bad spent more time on the Internet, but that using the Net actually appeared to cause the bad feelings.Researchers are puzzling over the results, which were complete contrary to their expectations. They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than television, since the Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others. The fact that Internet use reduces time available for family and friends may account for the drop in well-being, researchers hypothesized. Faceless, bodiless “virtual”communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversation, and the relationships formed through it may be shallower. Another possibility is that exposure the wider world via the Net makes users less satisfiedwith their lives.“But it’s important to remember this is not about the technology per se ; it’s about how it is used,” says psychologist Christine Riley of Intel, one of the study’s sponsors. “It really points he need for consid ering social factors in terms of how you design applications and services for technology.”1.

What is the best title for the passageA) The Popularity of Internet Use.B) The History of Internet Use.C) The Harm of Internet Use.D) The Fast Development of Internet Use.Passage 9The computer virus is an outcome of the computer overgrowth in the 1980s. The cause of the term “computer virus” is the likeness between the biological virus and the evil program infected with computers. The origin of this term came from an American science fiction The Adolescence of P-1written by Thomas J. Ryan, published in 1977. Human viruses invade a living cell and turn it into a factory for manufacturing viruses. However, computer viruses are small programs. They replicate by attaching a copy of themselves to another program.Once attached to me host Program, the viruses then look for other programs to “infect”. In this way, the virus can spread quickly throughout a har d disk or an entire organization when it infects a LAN or a multi-user system. At some point, determined by how the virus was programmed the virus attacks. The timing of the attack can be linked to a number of situations, including a certain time or date, the presence of a particular file, the security privilege level of the user, and the number of times a file is used. Likewise, the mode of attack varies. So-called “benign”viruses might simply display a message, like the one that infected IBM’s main compu ter system last Christmas with a season’s greeting. Malignant viruses are designed to damage the system. The attack is to wipe out data, to delete files, or to format the hard disk.1. What results in the wide spread of computer viruses according to the passageA) The overgrowth of computer.B) The likeness between the biological virus and evil program.C) The American science fiction The Adolescence of P-ID) The weak management of the government.2. What is computer virus in factA) A kind of biological virus.B) A kind of evil program.C) A kind of biological worm.D) Something that only exists in the fictions.3. What usually determines the variety of the virus attacksA) The time the attack is made.B) The presence of a particular file.C) The security privilege level of the user.D) The different ways the virus was programmed.4. What is the harm of “benign” viruses according to the passageA) “Benign” virus might wipe out data from the computer.B) “Benign” virus might delete files.C) “Benign” virus m ight display a message.D) “Benign” virus might format the hard disk.5. Where does the term “computer virus” come fromA) It comes from a play.B ) It comes from a computer game.C) It comes from a science fiction.D) It comes from a news report.Passage 10Fast food, a mainstay of American eating for decades, may have reached a high in the United States as the maturing baby-boom generation looks for a more varied menu. Fast food still represents a $ 102 billion a year industry, but growth hasturned sluggish recently amid tough competition from retail food stores and a more affluent population willing to try new things and spend more, analysts say. Signs of trouble in fast food include price-cutting by industry leaders, including efforts by McDonald’s t o attract customers with a 55cent hamburger, and major players pulling out or selling. 0’ Pepsico, for example, is selling its fast-food restaurant division that includes Taco Bell, Pizza Hut and KFC. “It’s becoming harder and harder for these firms to gro w,” said Jim Brown, a professor of marketing at Virginia Tech University. “I think in the United States fast food has reached a saturation point because of the number of competitors and the number of outlets.”Fast-food restaurant revenues grew 2. 5 per cent in 1996, according to industry figures, the slowest since the recession of 1991. That is a far cry from the levels of the 1970s and1980s. According to the Food Marketing Institute, consumers are using supermarkets for 21 per cent of take-home food, nearly double the level of a year ago. While fast-food restaurants still lead, their share slipped significantly, from 48 per cent in 1996 to 41 percent in 1997.1.

Canadian health officials confirmed Thursday that the unidentified man died sometime this summer. The man, who lived in the western province of Saskatchewan, contracted the disease from eating contaminated meat while traveling in Britain.Dr. Antonio Giulivi, an official with the government agency Health Canada, quickly moved to calm fears by assuring the public the disease had not entered the Canadian food supply.The variant of the cow-killing illness, known as Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, is believed to be caused when ground parts of diseased cattle are mixed into cattle feed and those cows are turned into processed meats for human consumption. Though the disease cannot be confirmed until an autopsy is performed on the dead brain, symptoms of human infection include uncontrolled shaking, dementia and finally paralysis.But while government officials insisted safeguards are in place to keep the disease out of Canadian meat, warnings were issued to 71 patients at the hospital where the infected man was treated before his illness was identified. Those patients had been treated with the same medical instruments used on the diseased man. Though the instruments were cleaned and disinfected, officials said a theoretical possibility remains that those people could have been infected.News of the death initially sent Canadian restaurant stocks into a tailspin, but most of them recovered by the end of the trading session.1.

It notes that more than 40 percent of the world’s population—two billion people now face water shortages.

Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced more depression and loneliness than those who logged on less frequently, the two- year study showed. And it wasn’t t hat people who were already feeling bad spent more time on the Internet, but that using the Net actually appeared to cause the bad feelings.Researchers are puzzling over the results, which were complete contrary to their expectations. They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than television, since the Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others. The fact that Internet use reduces time available for family and friends may account for the drop in well-being, researchers hypothesized. Faceless, bodiless “virtual”communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversation, and the relationships formed through it may be shallower. Another possibility is that exposure the wider world via the Net makes users less satisfiedwith their lives.“But it’s important to remember this is not about the technology per se ; it’s about how it is used,” says psychologist Christine Riley of Intel, one of the study’s sponsors. “It really points he need for consid ering social factors in terms of how you design applications and services for technology.”1.

What is the best title for the passageA) The Popularity of Internet Use.B) The History of Internet Use.C) The Harm of Internet Use.D) The Fast Development of Internet Use.Passage 9The computer virus is an outcome of the computer overgrowth in the 1980s. The cause of the term “computer virus” is the likeness between the biological virus and the evil program infected with computers. The origin of this term came from an American science fiction The Adolescence of P-1written by Thomas J. Ryan, published in 1977. Human viruses invade a living cell and turn it into a factory for manufacturing viruses. However, computer viruses are small programs. They replicate by attaching a copy of themselves to another program.Once attached to me host Program, the viruses then look for other programs to “infect”. In this way, the virus can spread quickly throughout a har d disk or an entire organization when it infects a LAN or a multi-user system. At some point, determined by how the virus was programmed the virus attacks. The timing of the attack can be linked to a number of situations, including a certain time or date, the presence of a particular file, the security privilege level of the user, and the number of times a file is used. Likewise, the mode of attack varies. So-called “benign”viruses might simply display a message, like the one that infected IBM’s main compu ter system last Christmas with a season’s greeting. Malignant viruses are designed to damage the system. The attack is to wipe out data, to delete files, or to format the hard disk.1.

What is the harm of “benign” viruses according to the passageA) “Benign” virus might wipe out data from the computer.B) “Benign” virus might delete files.C) “Benign” virus m ight display a message.D) “Benign” virus might format the hard disk.5. Where does the term “computer virus” come fromA) It comes from a play.B ) It comes from a computer game.C) It comes from a science fiction.D) It comes from a news report.Passage 10Fast food, a mainstay of American eating for decades, may have reached a high in the United States as the maturing baby-boom generation looks for a more varied menu. Fast food still represents a $ 102 billion a year industry, but growth hasturned sluggish recently amid tough competition from retail food stores and a more affluent population willing to try new things and spend more, analysts say. Signs of trouble in fast food include price-cutting by industry leaders, including efforts by McDonald’s t o attract customers with a 55cent hamburger, and major players pulling out or selling. 0’ Pepsico, for example, is selling its fast-food restaurant division that includes Taco Bell, Pizza Hut and KFC. “It’s becoming harder and harder for these firms to gro w,” said Jim Brown, a professor of marketing at Virginia Tech University. “I think in the United States fast food has reached a saturation point because of the number of competitors and the number of outlets.”Fast-food restaurant revenues grew 2. 5 per cent in 1996, according to industry figures, the slowest since the recession of 1991. That is a far cry from the levels of the 1970s and1980s. According to the Food Marketing Institute, consumers are using supermarkets for 21 per cent of take-home food, nearly double the level of a year ago. While fast-food restaurants still lead, their share slipped significantly, from 48 per cent in 1996 to 41 percent in 1997.1.

Title: The Importance of Cross-Cultural Communication。
In today's globalized world, cross-cultural communication has become increasingly significant. This essay aims to explore the importance of cross-cultural communication and the challenges it presents, along with strategies to overcome these challenges.Firstly, cross-cultural communication fosters mutual understanding and respect among people from different cultural backgrounds. In a world where diversity is celebrated, the ability to communicate effectively across cultures is essential for building harmonious relationships and promoting cooperation on various fronts, such asbusiness, education, and diplomacy. For instance, when individuals from different cultures interact respectfully and empathetically, they are better equipped to appreciate each other's perspectives and find common ground despite their differences.Moreover, cross-cultural communication enhancescultural awareness and sensitivity. By engaging with people from diverse backgrounds, individuals develop a deeper understanding of cultural norms, values, and customs. This awareness helps prevent misunderstandings and conflictsthat may arise from cultural differences. For example,being aware of cultural taboos and etiquette can prevent unintentional offense and facilitate smoother interactionsin multicultural settings.However, despite its benefits, cross-cultural communication also poses challenges. One major challenge is language barriers. Even with a common language like English, differences in accents, idiomatic expressions, and communication styles can hinder effective communication. Additionally, cultural differences in communicationpatterns, such as directness versus indirectness, can lead to misinterpretation and misunderstanding. For instance, what may be considered polite in one culture may be perceived as evasive in another.To overcome these challenges, individuals can adopt several strategies. Firstly, they can enhance their language proficiency through language learning and cultural immersion programs. By improving their language skills, individuals can bridge the gap between cultures and communicate more effectively with people from diverse backgrounds. Secondly, individuals can develop cultural empathy and sensitivity by actively seeking to understand and respect cultural differences. This includes being open-minded, non-judgmental, and willing to adapt one's communication style to accommodate cultural differences.In conclusion, cross-cultural communication plays a crucial role in today's interconnected world. By promoting mutual understanding, respect, and cultural awareness, it helps bridge divides and build bridges between people from different cultural backgrounds. While it presentschallenges such as language barriers and cultural differences, these challenges can be overcome through language proficiency, cultural empathy, and a willingness to adapt. Ultimately, by embracing cross-cultural communication, individuals can contribute to a more inclusive and harmonious global community.--。

This surpring statistic makes many people think twice before tying a knot (结 ). This statistic also makes one wonder what cause a maariage to succeed.

Why has their marriage succeeded?My parents have always expressed their love for each other. Thoughout their courtship (求婚) they did many wonderful things for each other: buying flowers, wreting letters, and sending surprises. They’ve continued these practices throughout their marriage as ways of showing love.Another quality of my parents’marriage is that they are flexible about their demands and expectations of each other. When I was four, Dad was laid off from his job. As a result, Mom entered the workforce. Although Dad was soon rehired, Mom enjoyed her job so much that shedecided to keep is. Dad was a bit surprised, but he could see that is made her happy. If problemsarose because of the time demands of their jobs, they worked through these problems — together.My parents remain committed (忠诚的) to each other, even during difficult times.

Well, just switch on the television. That’s fine for most of us, but people couldn’t do so 20 or 30 years age. A visit to the cinema was “an evening out,” a film was something special. Young people still go to the cinema often. Children watch a lot of television. Films and film stars are a strong force in our lives. So it is surprising how little film education there is in schools. Why don’t more children learn how films are made, and why they are made? The best film education is when children make a film of their own.This is not too difficult. Three things are important –the cost, the idea of the film, and organization. A 4-minute film can cost as little asよ10. Schools can hire the necessary equipment. They can also borrow films that other children have made. This helps them to see what is possible in a short film. Children will be making the film, so the main ideas for the film must come form them. When these have been agreed, the organization begins. Someone must Write the film and plan the filming. Some children will be actors, others camera men, lighting men, technicians and so on. They all have to practice a lot before the film itself is made. They learn a great deal about the technical problems of films, and about themselves.33.A film was once something special because ________.A)people had to go to the cinema B) television was not so popular as nowC) people didn’t have to leave the house D) there weren’t many films 20 or 30 years ago34.

Of course we have never been able to predict exactly what the weather will be like, but now strange weather patterns are seriously affecting many parts of the world. For example, droughts (旱灾) in Mexico and Brazil have recently caused great crop losses and in the United States they have even had to make their own snow for the Winter Olympics!Scientists have found that the cause of this strange weather is that the air circulation pattern has changed and is now more variable than earlier in the twentieth century. This means thatdifferent regions of the world get long spells (持续时间) of the same type of weather, whether hot , cold, wet or windy.However, weather experts have different views about why this has happened. One theory is that the temperature of the sea has increased. Another is that man’s activities on earth have disturbed the balance of nature.Whatever the cause, the economics of many countries in the world depend upon the weather. And until we know exactly what effect man’s activities are having on the weather, we cannot make changes which might help. So for the moment the only answer is …wait and see !38.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the first paragraph?A) We have never predicted the weatherB) Man is now able to control the weatherC) Strange weather has appeared only in some North American countriesD) It has always been impossible for man to predict the weather accurately.39.The strange weather patterns on the earth can he best described as ________.A) steady and balanced B) changeable but predictableC) likely to cause serous disasters D) unpredictable but favorable to man40.

Its main goal is to improve living conditions for poor people throughout the world. Last year, it provided more than seventeen-thousand-million dollars in loans to developing countries to help end poverty.The money went to efforts like debt reduction for some of the poorest countries in the world. That program was designed to increase debt assistance and provide it faster than in the past. As a result, twenty-three countries received debt assistance last year as compared to seven countries the year before.The World Bank does more than just provide loans, however. It believes that continued poverty reduction comes from investing in the people of a country –especially through education and health programs.The World Bank employs engineers, economists, public policy experts and social scientists to create these kinds of programs. These professionals also provide developing countries with the necessary technical help to carry out the programs. The Bank has helped to make great progress in developing nations, where life expectancy (寿命) has increased and baby and child deaths havedecreased, and more adults now can read than in the past.However, protesters have held large demonstrations at recent World Band meetings. Opponents say Bank programs make industrial nations richer and developing nations poorer. Others say the organization’s activities result in environmental damage.43.The World Bank aims mainly at ________.A)helping poor countries better their living conditionsB) becoming the largest supplier of development assistanceC) paying debts for some of the poorest countries in the worldD) providing loans for developing countries in order to make profitsst year the World Bank offered debt assistance to ________.A)fewer poor countries B) fewer rich countriesC) more rich countries D) more poor countries45.Which of the following is probably NOT the way that the World Bank helps a country?A)Creating health programs.

According to the passage, opponents criticize the World Band because ________.A) it has helped the rich countries a great dealB) it has cared too much about the poor countriesC) it has widened the economic gaps between rich and poor countriesD) it has caused most of the world environmental pollution47.This passage is manly about ________.A)the management of the World Band B) the assistance programs of the World BandC) the achievements of the World Bank D) the organization activities of the World Bank Passage Four Question 48 to 52 are based on the following passage.He is a good observe, accurate, patient and objective and applies persistent and logical thought to the observations he makes. He utilizes the facts he observes to the fullest extent. For example, trained observes obtain a very large amount of information about a star (e.g. distance, mass, size, rate of movement etc.) mainly from the accurate analysis of the simple lines that appear in a spectrum (光谱).He is skeptical (怀疑的) 0 he does not accept statements which are not based on the most complete evidence available –and therefore rejects authority as the sole basis for truth. Scientists always check statements and make experiments carefully and objectively to prove them.Furthermore, he is not only critical of the work of others, but also of his own, since he knows that man is the least reliable of scientific instruments and that a number of factors tend to disturb objective investigation.Lastly, he is highly imaginative since he often has to look for relationships in data which are not only complex but also frequently incomplete. Furthermore, he needs imagination if he wants to make hypotheses(假设)of how processes work and how events take place. These seem to be some of the ways in which a successful scientist thinks and acts.48.What quality of a good observer is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 1?A) Intelligence B) Patience. C) Persistence. D) Objectivity.49.
