Language is a major problem for the European Union (EU). The agreement or treaty (#J~.cJ) which created the organization that eventually became the EU, the Treaty of Rome, stated that each country's language must be treated equally. The original six countries had only three languages between them: French. German and Dutch/ Flemish. However, there are now 15 countries in the EU, with a total of 12 languages. EU documents must be translated into all these languages, and at official meetings the speeches must be translated into all the languages by interpreters.
All this translating is very expensive and time-consuming (费时的). it is said that nearly half of all employees of the EU are engaged in translating documents and speeches, and nearly half of the EU's administrative(管理方面的) costs are spent on this task. in the near future it is probably that several more countries, most of them having their own languages, will join the EU, thus making the situation even worse.
The problem is not just cost: there are practical difficulties as well. With 12 languages, there are 132 possible "translation situations" that might be needed. It is often' difficult to find people in the right place at the right time who can translate from (for example) Danish into Greek, or Dutch into Portuguese, at a high professional standard.
In practice the problem has been made less severe by the use of English in many contacts between EU officials, since almost all of them speak some English. However, any move to reduce the number of official languages (perhaps to four or five) would be a blow to the price of the smaller countries. Another commonly suggested solution is to make English the official language for all EU business. However, this is strongly resisted by powerful member countries like France and Germany.
60. What's the main purpose of this passage?
A. To give a solution to a problem.
B. To find out a problem and show how severe it is.
C. To criticize the European Union for illefficiency.
D. To show that the problem cannot be solved.
61. According to the writer, the use of English in contacts among EU officials has ________.
A. angered the officials who don't speak English
B. reduced the number of official languages
C. lessened the effect of the problem
D. been opposed by powerful member countries
62. The writer mentions "Danish into Greek" as an example of ________.
A. a situation that might be difficult to deal with
B. a situation that occurs often
C. one of the 12 situations that requires an interpreter
D. languages easily being interpreted
63. The writer suggests that if the number of official languages was reduced _______.
A. the EU would not know which official languages to choose
B. countries whose languages were not used officially would be unhappy
C. only languages which are easy to translate would be used officially
D. the smaller member countries would be pleased
C
The phone is ringing at the other end of the line and it clicks as it is being answered. A voice says quickly, "Hello. Will you hold, please.'?" Then there is another click, followed by silence. It seems like hours before someone
comes back on the line -- that is, if you don't hang up first.
Office calls are, perhaps, the most difficult and the most important part of a secretary's work. The first impression that a client receives about a business is very often through a telephone contact. A caller who is left hanging on "hold" will get the feeling that he or she has been forgotten or ignored. Ira call is answered rudely, the caller may become angry. And if the call is not muted directly to the right person, the caller may feel that he or she is getting the "runaround".
Laura Needham is a secretary in the executive offices of a large manufacturing company. As a good office secretary Laura knows that all phone calls must be answered without delay and handled efficiently. She knows that a secretary must be pleasant and helpful, no matter how busy she is or what kind of mood she may be in. She knows she must keep calm if a caller gets impatient or becomes angry; also, of course, she knows she can never allow herself to lose her temper, if she does not have the information the caller asks for, she must know who does have the information. Finally. she knows that one of her most important responsibilities is to "screen telephone calls" and to know which calls to refer to her boss, which calls to refer to other people, and which calls to handle herself.
A well-handled telephone call will give the caller a good impression of the company he or she is dealing with. For this reason, an office secretary who can handle telephone calls cheerfully, tactfully (老练的), and efficiently is a valuable asset to any organization.
64. Good secretaries find it ___________ to handle office calls well.
A. very boring
B. very important
C.quite necessary
D. extremely difficult
65. The underlined word "runaround" here means __________.
A. a flat refusal
B. a not-so-warm welcome
C. an unpleasant refusal
D. an unhelpful response
66. In Laura's opinion a secretary can never be a good one until __________.
A. she often asks her boss how to answer a telephone call
B. she knows how to please her clients
C. she has the information that her clients need
D.she can keep calm and never loses her temper
67. This passage is mainly about _________.
A. well-handled telephone calls
B. an efficient office secretary called Laura Needham
C. the importance of how office calls are dealt with
D.a secretary being a valuable asset to her company
D
Those who plan to film a hostage（人质）scene might want to make it obvious to everyone around them that it’s a simulation and not the real deal.
That may be the lesson that an independent film crew learned in Larimer County, Colo, after policemen rushed to them during a shoot for a movie.
Members of the crew were at a campground near Lake Carter, shooting a scene where the lead actor takes a girl hostage and beats up on a good man who tries to come between so as to help the girl.
“It happened very suddenly after that. We heard, ‘Freeze! Police!’”said Director Eileen Agosta. They were in the middle of the scene when some policemen ran over, shouting orders to get on the ground, pointing rifles（）at the crew, actor Chris Borden said. Members of the crew were cuffed（上手铐）and held on the ground until the situation was sorted out.
Borden said he believes the only reason the police didn’t shoot him was because they saw a cameraman.
Maj. Justin Smith, a police officer, said they received a call from someone at the lake and then raced to the park, blocking roads and came quietly up to the scene.
“The police didn’t rush into the situation and make a potentially bad situation worse,” said Cpl. Scott Shellhaas, spokesman of the county.
“It was complete ignorance on my part,” said Agosta. “I honestly thought you could tell what we were doing… I wouldn’t have chosen a state park at 3:30(p.m.) on Saturday if I was going to hurt somebody.”
Authorities said the scene they saw was realistic enough--- a woman handcuffed to a car, a man beating another man with a pistol（手枪）, people injured and bloodied and someone with a small video camera filming the event.
“It is certainly not beyond belief there days that individuals do videotape crimes as they commit them,” said Smith. “Having a video camera there did not necessarily mean there was not a crime. They should have informed us about the filming and the fact that they would be using a false handgun during the shoot.”
68. The underlined word “simulation” most probably means ________.
A. a misunderstanding created during the course of communication.
B. the activity of producing conditions which are similar to real ones
C. an example of dealing with cruel criminals in a wise way
D. the scene of taking a hostage by one or several cruel criminals
69. What do you think of the police’s action in the incident?
A. They made the whole situation worse.
B. They were to blame for the misunderstanding.
C. They acted senselessly in the whole affair.
D. They were quick but acted calmly.
70. Which of the following tells the right order of what happened?
a. Some policemen arrived at the scene.
b. Members of the film crew were handcuffed.
c. A crew of actors were shooting a film.
d. The police received a telephone call.
e. The police sorted out the situation.
A. c, d, a, b, e
B. d, c, a, e, b
C. a, b, d, c, e
D. a, e, b, d, c

注意：每个空格填1个单词。

Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States or Australia. They also want their
children to take extra-course activities where they will either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes that will give them a head start in life. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. So parents will spend unreasonable amount of money on education. Even poor couple will buy a computer for their son or daughter.
However, what most parents fail to see is that the best education they can give their children is usually very cheap.
Parents can see that their children’s skills vary, skilled in some areas while poor in others. What most parents fail to realize though, is that today’s children lack self-respect and self-confidence.
The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but parents are not teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever.
Parents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing, and doing other housework.
Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life. Cooking demands patience and time. It is an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully. His result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of confidence.
Some old machines, such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child to play with will make him curious and arouse his interest. He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities are not only teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important.

One possible version:
The students of our school had a discussion about whether listening test
in the National Matriculation English Test should be kept or canceled. Some students think that listening test should not be canceled. They insist listening is among the four basic skills. We therefore can not ignore it. Besides, listening is one of the important channels for us to get information from the outside world. So it should be strengthened today when international cooperation is becoming more and more frequ ent. But others don’t agree. They think not everyone has to communicate with foreigners in the future. Moreover, listening test is unfair to the students in the areas where radio signals cannot be picked up effectively. And for certain reasons, there is a big difference in teachers and equipment between the countryside and the city.
In my oipion,。
