Most people give little thought to the pens they write with, especially since the printers in modern homes and offices mean that very 1 things are handwritten.

This will make it possible for you to create a 10 line of writing. The point should also be sensitive enough to 11 ink from running when the pen is lifted. A point that does not block the 12 may leave drops of ink，as you pick the pen up and put it down again.13 , the pen should make a thick，dark line. Fine-line pens may make up for 14 handwriting, but fine(very thin or narrow), delicate lines do not attract 15 next to printed text, as, for example, a signature on a printed letter.

Passengers were making a huge number of 16 about the long waits at baggage claim (行李提取处). In response, the airport managers 17 the number of baggage handlers. The plan worked: the average wait fell to eight minutes. But the complaints18 despite the apparent success.19 , the managers undertook a more careful, on-site analysis. They found that it took passengers a minute to walk from their 20 gates to baggage claim and seven more minutes to get their bags. Roughly 88 percent of their time, in other words, was spent standing around 21 waiting for their bags.So the airport decided on a new approach: instead of reducing wait time, it 22 the arrival gates farther away from baggage claim area. Passengers now had to 23 six times longer to get their bags. Complaints dropped to near zero.This story shows a general 24 : the experience of waiting is defined only partly by the actual length of the wait. Often the psychology of queuing is more 25 than the length of the wait itself. Occupied time (walking to baggage claim) feels 26 than unoccupied time (standing at baggage claim). Research on 27 has shown that, on average, people overestimate how long they’ve waited in a line by about 36 percent.This is also why one finds mirrors next to lifts. The spread of high-rise buildings after World War II led to complaints about lift 28 . The motive behind the mirrors was 29 to the one used at the Houston airport: give people something to 30 their time, and the wait seems shorter.16. A. suggestions B. questions C. complaints D.challenges17. A. evaluated B. counted C. decreased D. increased18. A. continued B. disappeared C. doubled D. changed19. A. Annoyed B. Puzzled C. Discouraged D. Excited20. A. exit B. landing C. arrival D. departure21. A. uncomfortably B. aimlessly C. hopelessly D.impatiently22. A. freed B. sent C. moved D. removed23.

He stood out because the kids made fun of him. He was missing one of his fingers, and always pointed at students with his middle finger.I was not very good at English and math. No matter how hard I tried, I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.One day, I was told that if I got one more E on my report card, I would be taken to the “big prison for kids〞．I tried really hard for weeks. I just couldn’t understand ho w to make different parts of members into whole things.The day before report cards were to come out, I knew that Mr.Young would give me an E, just like he always did.I went to Mr. Young and told him that the orphanage (孤儿院) was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card. He told me there was nothing he could do; it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.I smiled at him and said, “Mr.Young, do you know how the kids make fun of you because you’re missing your finger？〞 He looked at me, moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.“They shouldn’t do that to you because you can’t help not having a finger, Mr.Young.Just like I can’t help not being able to learn numbers and stuff li ke that.〞 I said.The next day, when I got my report card, I tucked it into one of my books. While on the school bus, I opened it: Geography, B＋； Mechanical Drawing, C－； English, D－； History, C－； Gym, B＋； Art, C; Math, D－.That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received, because I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a fingerinside my head.41.From the second paragraph we can infer that the boy is ________ in some subjects.A．mindblowing(给人印象极深的) B．slowwitted(头脑迟钝的)C．funloving D．badlybehaved42.Where may the boy live according to the passage?A．In an orphanage. B．In a big prison. C．In the school dormitory. D．In his home.43.What grade should the boy have got in the math test this time?A．D－. B．B＋ C．D. D．E.44.The underlined word “tucked〞in the passage most probably means “________〞．A．struck B．listed C．hid D．copied 45.The reason why the boy remembers Mr. Young is that ________.A．he missed one of his fingers B．he treated his students very well C．he understood the boy D．he taught his students in a special way(B)Just as some people think that certain numbers are lucky or unlucky, others believe that we can use numbers to understand our personalities, or predict what will happen to us in the future.Numerology is a way of using numbers to describe a person’s character, and to make predictions about future life events. Numerologists use the numbers 1-9, 11 and 22 —also known as the “master〞 numbers — to help a person understand his or her personality, life goals, and destiny.Numerologists consider your Life Path number to be the most significant because this number describes your character. To find this number, add together all the numbers in your date of birth. For example, a person born on April 25, 1985 would add the month (4), to the numbers of the date (2+5), plus the numbers of the birth year (1+9+8+5). In this case the total is 34, so this person’s life path number is 7(3+4). Numerologists believe that people with this number are peaceful and affectionate but can also be very reserved.Your Expression number describes your talents and predicts how you should use these to fulfill your destiny in life. Numerologists assign a number between 1 and 9 to each of the letters in your name. These numbers are then added together in the same way as before to find your Expression number. Numerologists can also do calculations to predict when the most challenging periods of your life will be.Numerologists also believe that the day a person is born is important. Each day of the month has a character description. People born on the fourth are said to be responsible, honest, and stubborn. People born on the fifteenth have very strong attachments to family and home. Those who celebrate their birthday on the thirtieth are artistic, creative, and imaginative, and often make good writers.If we calculate the numerical value of our name and birth date, numerologists believe that we can learn more about our personalities. They also believe that we can predict our destinies, how our lives will progress, and what challenges we may face along the way. To the numerologist, numbers can be used in many more ways thanwe think.46. If a person was born on November 8, 1995, what is his Life Path number?A. 7B. 8C. 9D. 1147. To understand your abilities and how to use them in your life, you should calculate your ______.A. Life Path numberB. Expression numberC. birthdayD. name and birth date48. According to the passage, a person born on the fifteenth tends to be _______.A. stubbornB. home-lovingC. artisticD. imaginative49. According to the passage, numerologists believe that _________.A. Life Path number can be used to predict a person’s most challenging life periodsB. Expression number is the most meaningful for people to learn a person’s characterC. numbers can help people better understand themselvesD. numbers can be used to change a person’s future50. The function of the passage is __________.A. to raise doubts about the usefulness of numerologyB. to persuade readers about the benefits of the practices it describesC. to describe some of the numerological practices and their purposeD. to tease those who take such beliefs seriously(C)The day when the jobs were handed out was one of the most exciting moments for all the children in the class. It took place during the first week of the term. Every kid was given a job for which they would be responsible for the rest of that school year.Some jobs were more interesting than others, and the children were eager to be given one of the best ones. When giving them out, the teacher took into account which pupils had been most responsible during the previous year. During the previous year Rita had carried out the teacher’s instructions perfectly. All the children knew Rita would be given the best job.But there was a big surprise. Each child received a normal job. But Rita’s job was very different. She was given a little box containing some sand and one ant. Though the teacher insisted that this ant was very special, Rita felt disappointed. Most of her classmates felt sorry for her. Even her father became very angry with the teacher and he encouraged Rita to pay no attention to this insignificant pet. However, Rita preferred to show the teacher her error by doing something special with that job of little interest.Rita started investigating all about her little ant and gave the ant the best food, and it grew quite a bit bigger.One day, a man, who looked very important, came into their classroom and declared, “Your class has been chosen to accompany me, thi s summer, on a journey to the tropical rain forest, where we will investigate all kinds of insects. Among all theschools of this region, your class has best cared for the little ant.〞That day the school was filled with joy and celebration. Everyone thanked Rita for having been so patient and responsible. And many children learnt that to be given the most important task you have to know how to be responsible even in what are the smallest tasks.51. That the teacher gave out jobs to the children is based on _______.A. their characters and interestsB. their class performance during the previous yearC. their working performance during the previous yearD. their ability of managing their accounts during the previous year52. What does the underlined sentence mean?A. Each child got an important job.B. Each child got an interesting job.C. The perfect student got the job of everyone’s preferenceD. The most responsible student got the job of least interest.53. Rita’s attitude to her father’s suggestion is ________A. negativeB. uncertainC. totally positiveD. acceptive54. We can infer that the man who made the declaration is a _________.A. hunterB. directorC. biologistD. principal55. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Never complain about lifeB. Small tasks can lead to fortunesC. Men are best known by their friendsD. Responsibility and intelligence bring good luck(D)The idea about the phoenix goes back to Ancient Egypt, where we find the phoenix described as a handsome, eagle-like bird, with part-golden, part-red plumage, that spent most of its life in the Arabian deserts. It was rarely seen and according to one version of the story, only appeared in Egypt once every five hundred years, when it flew to Heliopolis, “city of the sun〞, and deliberately burnt itself to ashes by settling on the altar(祭坛) flame there! However, it seems it did not really die because from those same ashes a young, fully formed phoenix was born and flew away, apparently back to Arabia.It is pretty obvious that no one has ever seen or will see a living phoenix. The interesting thing is that we can find certain clues which may explain one aspect of the Egyptians’ idea. It may sound unbelievable, but some birds are apparently quite charmed by flames and small fires, especially members of the crow family. One zoologist actually proved this by setting fire to some straw near to a tame〔驯养的〕 rook. Far from becoming nervous and backing away, the bird deliberately stood over the flames, with raised and vibrating wings. It didn’t get burnt, but the image it presented by its strange behavior was almost exactly like that shown in illustrations of the mythical phoenix!Why birds should occasionally behave in this strange way is not clear. One idea is that they carefully use the heat of the flames to relieve the annoyance caused by their feather mites(虱) which all birds have. Whatever the reason, it is quite possible that the Ancient Egyptians saw birds behaving in this way, from time to time, and used it as the basis of their phoenix myth, adding fanciful details whichclosely linked it to their worship of the sun and their belief in resurrection. Nowadays, the phoenix is much less important to us than it was to the Egyptians. But the logo of modern fire insurance companies, which employ the phoenix as one of their symbols, refers that in one sense the idea of it remains.56. According to the passage, the phoenix ______________ .A. is a handsome and eagle-like bird living in ArabB. used to be seen when the Egyptians held religious activitiesC. has never really existed in the worldD. is the king of all kinds of birds57. The reason why birds stand above flames is probably that _____________ .A. the phoenix used to do soB. they may get rid of the mitesC. they want to burn their featherD. they can heat themselves58. Which of the following statements is NOT correct?A. The ancient Egyptians worshiped the phoenix.B. The scientists have discovered why birds are attracted by fire.C. The modern people still favor the idea of the phoenix.D. The mythical tales about the phoenix were based on facts.59. Which of the following is closest to “resurrection〞 in the 3rd paragraph?A. living foreverB. offering warmthC. coming back to lifeD. staying healthy60. What does the phoenix probably mean in the logo of a fire insurance company?A. Our company can protect you from being harmed by fire.B. If your property is destroyed by fire, we will help you build it up again.C. Our company will always be energetic and wealthy.D. If needed, we will save you at the risk of losing lives.第二节信息匹配〔共5小题，每一小题2分，总分为10分〕下面是一篇有关书籍介绍的应用文，请阅读如下应用文和相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

She lives in Boston, Massachusetts, in U. S. Last Thursday, she didn't go to school. She went to work with her father instead. Every year, on the fourth Thursday in April, millions of young girls go to work. This is Take Our Daughters to Work Day. The girls are between the ages of 9 and 15. They spend the day at work with an adult, usually a mother, father, aunt, or uncle. They go to offices, police stations, laboratories, and other places where their parents or other family members work. Next year, the day will include sons, too.The Ms. Foundation, an organization for women, started the program about ten years ago. In the U.S., many women work outside the home. The Ms. Foundation wanted girls to find out about many different kinds of jobs. Then, when the girls grow up, they can choose a job they like.Cara's father is a film director. Ca ra says, “It was very exciting for me to go to the studio with my dad. I saw a lot of people doing different jobs.” Many businesses have special activities for girls on this day. Last year, Cara went to work with her aunt at the University of Massachusetts. In the engineering department, the girls learned to build a bridge with toothpicks and candy. In the chemistry department, they learned to use scales. They learned about many other kinds of jobs, too.Right now, Cara does not know what job she will have when she grows up. But because of Take Our Daughters to Work Day, she knows she has many choices.36. What is Cara's father?A. An engineer.B. An official.C. A moviemaker.D. A professor.37. According to the passage, Take Our Daughters to Work Day is ______.A. on every Thursday in AprilB. a holiday for girls of all agesC. a day for girls to know about jobsD. a day for girls to get a job easily38. On this special day, Cara has done all the following EXCEPT that ____.A. she learned to use scalesB. she worked as an actressC. she went to work with her auntD. she used toothpicks and candy to build a bridge39. What is probably the best title for the passage?A. Cara Lang, a Fortunate GirlB. Take Our Daughters to Work DayC. Children's Day and Work DayD. Ms. Foundation, an Organization for Women40. Which of the following statements is true?A. Girls can go to work with their friends as well as parents.B. Take Our Daughters to Work Day is for girls for the time being.C. Now girls know what job they will have because of the Take Our Daughters to Work Day.D. Boys have no trouble deciding on their future jobs.BWithout proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country’s economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the wealth and happiness of local inhabitants.Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer.On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads, and other supportfacilities(配套设施) needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers(下水道) to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.41. Which of the following do you think has been discussed in the part before this passage?A. It is extremely important to develop tourism.B. Building roads and hotels is essential.C. Support facilities are highly necessary.D. planning is of great importance to tourism.42. The underlined word “inhabitants”(in Paragraph I) probably means “_____”A. touristsB. passengersC. populationD. local people43. Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT ______.A. a bad effect on other industriesB. a change of tourist’s customsC. over-crowdedness of the places of interestD. pressure on traffic44. It can be inferred from the passage that ____.A. the author doesn’t like tourism developing so fastB. local people will benefit from tourist attractionC. other parts of a country’s economy won’t benefit from tourism muchD. we can’t build too many support facilities.45. The author thinks it is good for local people to know that tourism will ____.A. waste a lot of moneyB. weaken their economyC. help establish their customsD. help improve their lifeCA large number of women in Western European countries wish that they were born men. The number is said as high as 60% in West Germany.“Women often wish that they had the same chance as men have, and believe it is still men’s world,” said DrJames Holden, one of the scientists who did the study.Anne Harper has a very good job for an international oil company. She also believes in “Women’ s Liberation(解放)”.“I don’t wish that I were a man,” she says, “and I don’t think many women do. Bu t I do wish that people would stop looking down upon us women. At work, for example, we often do the work that men do but get paid less. There are still a lot of jobs that are usually the best ones and open only to men. If you’re a man, you have a much bet ter chance of leading an exciting life. How many women pilots are there ... or engineers or scientists?”46. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. 60% Western European women wish that they were born men.B. Most women in Western European countries wish that their babies were all boys.C. 60% women in West Germany wish that they were born men.D. 60% Western European women who wish that they were born men are from West Germany.47. “It is still men’s world.” means “______.”A. There’re more men than women in the worldB. There’re more men scientists or engineers than women scientists or engineers in the worldC. Women cannot live without menD. Women have not been given the same chance as men48. Anne Harper considers that women should ______.A. be really liberatedB. live a better life than menC. be well paidD. get better jobs than men49. Anne Harper doesn’t wish that she were a man because she ______.A. has got a very good jobB. believes in “Women’s Liberation”C. does the work that a man can’t doD. isn’t looked down upon by anyone50. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Usually the best jobs are not open to women.B. Women are less paid than men for the same job.C. There’re mor e men pilots, engineers and scientists than women ones.D. Women are looked down upon because they’re the second-class citizens.DWhether or not it contributes to global warming, carbon dioxide is turning the oceans acidic, Britain’s leading scientific organization warned yesterday.In a 60-page report by a panel of scientists, the organization, the Royal Society, said the growing acidity would be very likely to harm coral reefs and other marine life by the end of the century.Unlike forecasts of global warming, which are based on complex and incomplete computer models, the research of carbon dioxide and seawater is simple and straightforward.The burning of fossil fuels by cars and power plants releases more than 25 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide into the air each year. Roughly a third of that is absorbed by the oceans, where the gas undergoes chemical reactions that produce carbonic acid, which is corrosive(腐蚀性的) to shells.The pH scale, which measures the concentration(浓度) of hydrogen ions(离子), runs from 1, the most acidic and highest concentration of ions, to 14, the most alkaline(碱性的), with almost no ions. Ocean water today is somewhat alkaline, at 8.1, about 0.1 lower than at the start of the Industrial Revolution two centuries ago. But like the magnitude scale of earthquakes, one unit on the pH scale reflects a change of a factor of 10. The 0.1 pH change means there are now 30 percent more hydrogen ions in the water.Depending on the rate of fossil fuel burning, the pH of ocean water near the surface is expected to drop from below 7.7 by 2100, lower than any time in the last 400 years, the Royal Society report said.But Dr. Ken Caldera, a research scientist at the Carnegie Institution’s Department of Global Ecology in Stanford, Calif. and a member of the Royal Society panel, said that the current carbon dioxide release was occurring quickly, over just two centuries. In the past, water from the deeper ocean would have had time to mix, diluting(稀释，冲淡) the effect of the carbon dioxide.The pH change is likely to slow the rate of growth of coral reefs, which are already suffering from warmer temperatures and pollution, the report said. The increased acidity could also reduce populations of plankton(浮游生物) with calcium carbonate shells, disrupting the food chain and hurting fisheries.51. The passage is mainly about the fact that ____________.A. carbon dioxide does not affect global warmingB. ocean is suffering from the carbon dioxide’s invasionC. carbon dioxide does not contribute to the ocean’s acidic changeD. cars and power plants are the main source of carbon dioxide52. What can we learn from the fifth paragraph?A. In the pH scale, 1 refers to the latest acidic.B. The ocean still keeps very acidic.C. Compared to the time of Industrial Revolution, the ocean now is having 30 percent more hydrogen ions.D. The ocean two centuries ago was quite acidic.53. According to the passage, which one does NOT contribute to the slow growth of coral reefs?A. The warmer temperatures.B. The air pollution.C. The acidity.D. The food chain behavior.54. Compared to the forecast of global warming, what is the research of carbon dioxide like?A. It is easier to acquire data.B. It needs more time to finish a research.C. It requires more people to do such work.D. It is based on lots of computer models.55. According to the passage, what is the author’s attitude to the carbon acidity?A. Anxious.B. Not clear.C. Optimistic.D. Pessimistic.第二节信息匹配（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

Happy memories are pleasant; sad memories are painful. So what helps us remember the good moments and 1 the bad ones? The answer is a mixture of personality, gender 〔性别〕 and the2 someone uses to make sense of their feelings.Once in a survey, scientists invited seventy-one 3 , 38 women and 33 men, to fill out a questionnaire. From their answers to the 4 ，scientists were able to work out their personalities and more than 100 memories of each person.From analyses of differences between personality and 5 , they found that people who were out-going and confident were more likely to 6 pleasant experiences than bad ones. People who were sensitive, greedy and selfish tended to 7think about bad memories. Both men and women with these 8 also recalled more bad memories.However, the way men and women try to deal with bad memories is quite 9 . For men, to remain optimistic so as to think about a bad memory 10 can lead to recall more pleasant memories, but suppressing〔抑制〕 the bad memories brings neither 11 memories nor bad ones. For women, 12 the bad memories usually brings an even lower mood than before, which means that women are more likely to suffer from depression than men. Those 13 people, as it is mentioned before, usually women,recollect unpleasant memories and 14 they feel sad.Scientists suggest the best ways to deal with bad memories are to be 15 , never stay in a bad mood for too long and try to think about our memories from a positive angle.1.

Passengers were making a huge number of 16 about the long waits at baggage claim (行李提取处). In response, the airport managers 17 the number of baggage handlers. The plan worked: the average wait fell to eight minutes. But the complaints18 despite the apparent success.19 , the managers undertook a more careful, on-site analysis. They found that it took passengers a minute to walk from their 20 gates to baggage claim and seven more minutes to get their bags. Roughly 88 percent of their time, in other words, was spent standing around 21 waiting for their bags.So the airport decided on a new approach: instead of reducing wait time, it 22 the arrival gates farther away from baggage claim area. Passengers now had to 23 six times longer to get their bags. Complaints dropped to near zero.This story shows a general 24 : the experience of waiting is defined only partly by the actual length of the wait. Often the psychology of queuing is more 25 than the length of the wait itself. Occupied time (walking to baggage claim) feels 26 than unoccupied time (standing at baggage claim). Research on 27 has shown that, on average, people overestimate how long they’ve waited in a lin e by about 36 percent.This is also why one finds mirrors next to lifts. The spread of high-rise buildings after World War II led to complaints about lift 28 . The motive behind the mirrors was 29 to the one used at the Houston airport: give people something to 30 their time, and the wait seems shorter.16.

He stood out because the kids made fun of him. He was missing one of his fingers, and always pointed at students with his middle finger.I was not very good at English and math. No matter how hard I tried, I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.One day, I was told that if I got one more E on my report card, I would be taken to the “big prison for kids”．I tried really hard for weeks. I just couldn’t understand how to make different parts of members into whole things.The day before report cards were to come out, I knew that Mr.Young would give me an E, just like he always did.I went to Mr. Young and told him that the orphanage (孤儿院) was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card. He told me there was nothing he could do; it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.I smiled at him and said, “Mr.Young, do you know how the kids make fun of you because you’re missing your finger？” He looked at me, moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.“They shouldn’t do that to you because you can’t help not having a finger, Mr.Young.Just like I can’t help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that.” I said.The next day, when I got my report card, I tucked it into one of my books. While on the school bus, I opened it: Geography, B＋； Mechanical Drawing, C－； English, D－； History, C－； Gym, B＋； Art, C; Math, D－.That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received, because I knew thatsomeone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.41.From the second paragraph we can infer that the boy is ________ in some subjects.A．mindblowing(给人印象极深的) B．slowwitted(头脑迟钝的)C．funloving D．badlybehaved42.Where may the boy live according to the passage?A．In an orphanage. B．In a big prison. C．In the school dormitory. D．In his home.43.What grade should the boy have got in the math test this time?A．D－. B．B＋ C．D. D．E.44.The underlined word “tucked” in the passage most probably means “________”．A．struck B．listed C．hid D．copied 45.The reason why the boy remembers Mr. Young is that ________.A．he missed one of his fingers B．he treated his students very well C．he understood the boy D．he taught his students in a special way(B)Just as some people think that certain numbers are lucky or unlucky, others believe that we can use numbers to understand our personalities, or predict what will happen to us in the future.Numerology is a way of using numbers to describe a person’s character, and to make predictions about future life events. Numerologists use the numbers 1-9, 11 and 22 —also known as the “master” numbers — to help a person understand his or her personality, life goals, and destiny.Numerologists consider your Life Path number to be the most significant because this number describes your character. To find this number, add together all the numbers in your date of birth. For example, a person born on April 25, 1985 would add the month (4), to the numbers of the date (2+5), plus the numbers of the birth year (1+9+8+5). In this case the total is 34, so this person’s life path number is 7(3+4). Numerologists believe that people with this number are peaceful and affectionate but can also be very reserved.Your Expression number describes your talents and predicts how you should use these to fulfill your destiny in life. Numerologists assign a number between 1 and 9 to each of the letters in your name. These numbers are then added together in the same way as before to find your Expression number. Numerologists can also do calculations to predict when the most challenging periods of your life will be.Numerologists also believe that the day a person is born is important. Each day of the month has a character description. People born on the fourth are said to be responsible, honest, and stubborn. People born on the fifteenth have very strong attachments to family and home. Those who celebrate their birthday on the thirtieth are artistic, creative, and imaginative, and often make good writers.If we calculate the numerical value of our name and birth date, numerologists believe that we can learn more about our personalities. They also believe that we can predict our destinies, how our lives will progress, and what challenges we may face along the way. To the numerologist, numbers can be used in many more ways thanwe think.46. If a person was born on November 8, 1995, what is his Life Path number?A. 7B. 8C. 9D. 1147. To understand your abilities and how to use them in your life, you should calculate your ______.A. Life Path numberB. Expression numberC. birthdayD. name and birth date48. According to the passage, a person born on the fifteenth tends to be _______.A. stubbornB. home-lovingC. artisticD. imaginative49. According to the passage, numerologists believe that _________.A. Life Path number can be used to predict a person’s most challenging life periodsB. Expression number is the most mea ningful for people to learn a person’s characterC. numbers can help people better understand themselvesD. numbers can be used to change a person’s future50. The function of the passage is __________.A. to raise doubts about the usefulness of numerologyB. to persuade readers about the benefits of the practices it describesC. to describe some of the numerological practices and their purposeD. to tease those who take such beliefs seriously(C)The day when the jobs were handed out was one of the most exciting moments for all the children in the class. It took place during the first week of the term. Every kid was given a job for which they would be responsible for the rest of that school year.Some jobs were more interesting than others, and the children were eager to be given one of the best ones. When giving them out, the teacher took into account which pupils had been most responsible during the previous year. During the previous year Rita had carried out the teacher’s instructions perfectly. All the children knew Rita would be given the best job.But there was a big surprise. Each child received a normal job. But Rita’s job was very different. She was given a little box containing some sand and one ant. Though the teacher insisted that this ant was very special, Rita felt disappointed. Most of her classmates felt sorry for her. Even her father became very angry with the teacher and he encouraged Rita to pay no attention to this insignificant pet. However, Rita preferred to show the teacher her error by doing something special with that job of little interest.Rita started investigating all about her little ant and gave the ant the best food, and it grew quite a bit bigger.One day, a man, who looked very important, came into their classroom and declared, “Your class has been chosen to accompany me, this summer, on a journey to the tropical rain forest, where we will investigate all kinds of insects. Among all theschools of this region, your class has best cared for the little ant.”That day the school was filled with joy and celebration. Everyone thanked Rita for having been so patient and responsible. And many children learnt that to be given the most important task you have to know how to be responsible even in what are the smallest tasks.51. That the teacher gave out jobs to the children is based on _______.A. their characters and interestsB. their class performance during the previous yearC. their working performance during the previous yearD. their ability of managing their accounts during the previous year52. What does the underlined sentence mean?A. Each child got an important job.B. Each child got an interesting job.C. The perfect student got the job of everyone’s preferenceD. The most responsible student got the job of least interest.53. Rita’s attitude to her father’s suggestion is ________A. negativeB. uncertainC. totally positiveD. acceptive54. We can infer that the man who made the declaration is a _________.A. hunterB. directorC. biologistD. principal55. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Never complain about lifeB. Small tasks can lead to fortunesC. Men are best known by their friendsD. Responsibility and intelligence bring good luck(D)The idea about the phoenix goes back to Ancient Egypt, where we find the phoenix described as a handsome, eagle-like bird, with part-golden, part-red plumage, that spent most of its life in the Arabian deserts. It was rarely seen and according to one version of the story, only appeared in Egypt once every five hundred years, when it flew to Heliopolis, “city of the sun”, and deliberately burnt itself to ashes by settling on the altar(祭坛) flame there! However, it seems it did not really die because from those same ashes a young, fully formed phoenix was born and flew away, apparently back to Arabia.It is pretty obvious that no one has ever seen or will see a living phoenix. The interesting thing is that we can find certain clues which may explain one aspect of the Egyptians’ idea. It may sound unbelievable, but some birds are apparently quite charmed by flames and small fires, especially members of the crow family. One zoologist actually proved this by setting fire to some straw near to a tame（驯养的） rook. Far from becoming nervous and backing away, the bird deliberately stood over the flames, with raised and vibrating wings. It didn’t get burnt, but the image it presented by its strange behavior was almost exactly like that shown in illustrations of the mythical phoenix!Why birds should occasionally behave in this strange way is not clear. One idea is that they carefully use the heat of the flames to relieve the annoyance caused by their feather mites(虱) which all birds have. Whatever the reason, it is quite possible that the Ancient Egyptians saw birds behaving in this way, from time to time, and used it as the basis of their phoenix myth, adding fanciful details whichclosely linked it to their worship of the sun and their belief in resurrection. Nowadays, the phoenix is much less important to us than it was to the Egyptians. But the logo of modern fire insurance companies, which employ the phoenix as one of their symbols, refers that in one sense the idea of it remains.56. According to the passage, the phoenix ______________ .A. is a handsome and eagle-like bird living in ArabB. used to be seen when the Egyptians held religious activitiesC. has never really existed in the worldD. is the king of all kinds of birds57. The reason why birds stand above flames is probably that _____________ .A. the phoenix used to do soB. they may get rid of the mitesC. they want to burn their featherD. they can heat themselves58. Which of the following statements is NOT correct?A. The ancient Egyptians worshiped the phoenix.B. The scientists have discovered why birds are attracted by fire.C. The modern people still favor the idea of the phoenix.D. The mythical tales about the phoenix were based on facts.59. Which of the following is closest to “resurrection” in the 3rd paragraph?A. living foreverB. offering warmthC. coming back to lifeD. staying healthy60. What does the phoenix probably mean in the logo of a fire insurance company?A. Our company can protect you from being harmed by fire.B. If your property is destroyed by fire, we will help you build it up again.C. Our company will always be energetic and wealthy.D. If needed, we will save you at the risk of losing lives.第二节信息匹配（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）下面是一篇有关书籍介绍的应用文，请阅读下列应用文和相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

How can you tell if someone’s lying? The answer is, they’re probably not.Traditional economics says that people are 1 beings who will lie if it’s to their advantage. A recent university study has shown that, actually, we’re pretty2 —e specially when we’re at home.Researchers in Germany 3 people at home and asked them to toss (投掷) a coin. There was a strong 4 incentive(刺激) to lie about the result: if the coin landed tails-up, the participant would receive money, while if the coin landed heads-up, they would get nothing. Because they were on the phone, they knew there was no 5 of getting caught if they lied.And yet people told the 6 . Over hundreds of tosses a coin will land tails-up about 50% of the time. In this 7 over half the people asked (55.6%) said that the coin landed heads-up, which meant they would receive nothing.Previous studies had found that people were more 8 . In those laboratory studies, 75% of people reported a 9 coin and asked for a reward. So the research team thinks it’s being in our own homes which makes us play fair, although it's not yet clear why.In fact both types of study show people are surprisingly 10 . Even in the laboratory, 25% of people11 a reward by telling the truth. The researchers say this is because honesty is 12valued in human society.
