Liz PayneBThe freezing Northeast hasn‟t been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota, Florida, my bags were packed before you could say “sunshine”. I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C(维生素C), thinking of beaches and orange trees. When we touched down to blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness. Swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets(at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend, but the best part-particularly to my taste, dulled by months of cold-weather root vegetables-was a 7 a.m. adventure to the Sarasota farmers‟ market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7 am to 1 p.m, rain or shine, along North Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries, the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes.Disappointed by many a broken, vine-ripened(蔓上成熟的) promise, I‟ve refused to buy winter tomatoes for years. No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home they‟re unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless. But I homed in, with uncertainty, on one particular table at the Brown‟s Grove Farm‟s stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These were the real deal- and at that moment, I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn‟t be experiencing again for months.Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown‟s Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty, a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where-luckily for me-I was planning to have dinner that very night. Without even seeing the menu, I knew I‟d be ordering every tomato on it.24. What did the author think of her winter life in New York?A. Exciting.B. Boring.C. Relaxing.D. Annoying.25. What made the author‟s getting up early worthwhile?A. Having a swim.B. Breathing in fresh air.C. Walking in the morning sun.D. Visiting a local farmer‟s market.26. What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter?A. They are soft.B. They look nice.C. They taste great.D. They are juicy.27. What was the author going to do that evening?A. Eat in a restaurant.B. Check into a hotel.C. Go to a farm.D. Buy fresh vegetables.CSalvador Dali (1904-1989) was one of the most popular of modern artists. The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more. Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly The Persistence of Memory.There is also L’Enigme sans Fin from 1938, works on paper, objects, and projects for stage and screen and selected parts from television programmes reflecting the artist‟s showman qualities.The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning, the world of birth. The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain.The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities (无限). “From the infinity small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus: amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figu eras,” explains the Pompidou Centre.The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration (合作)with the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain, and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida.28. Which of the following best describes Dali according to Paragraph 1?A. Optimistic.B. ProductiveC. Generous.D. Traditional.29. What is Dali‟s The Persistence of Memory considered to be?A. One of his masterworks.B. A successful screen adaptation.C. An artistic creation for the stage.D. One of the beat TV programmes.30. How are the exhibits arranged at the World of Dali?A. By popularity.B. By importance.C. By size and shape.D. By time and subject.31. W hat does the word “contributions” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Donations.B. Projects.C. Artworks.D. Documents.DConflict is on the menu tonight at the caféLa Chope. This evening, as on every Thursday night, psychologist Maud Lehanne is leading two of France‟s favorite pastimes, coffee drinking and the “talking cure”. Here they are learning to get in touch with their true feelings. It isn‟t always easy. The customers-some thirty Parisians who pay just under $2 (plus drinks) per session-are quick to intellectualize (高谈阔论),slow to open up and connect. “You are forbidden to say …one feels,‟ or …people think‟,”Lehanne told them. “Say …I think,‟ …Think me‟.”A cafe society where no intellectualizi ng is allowed? It couldn‟t seem more un-French. But Lehanne‟s psychology cafe is about more than knowing oneself: It‟s trying to help the city‟s troubled neighborhood cafes. Over the years, Parisian cafes have fallen victim to changes in the French lifestyle-longer working hours, a fast-food boom and a younger generation‟s desire to spend more time at home. Dozens of new theme cafes appear to change the situation. Cafes focused around psychology, history, and engineering are catching on, filling tables well into the evening.The city‟s “psychology cafes”, which offer great comfort, are among the most popular places. Middle-aged homemakers, retirees, and the unemployed come to such cafes to talk about love, anger, and dreams with a psychologist. And they come to Lehanne‟s group just to learn to say what they feel. “There‟s a strong need in Paris for communication,” says Maurice Frisch, a cafe La Chope regular who works as a religious instructor in a nearby church. “People have few real friends.And they need to open up.” Lehanne says she‟d like to see psychology cafes all over France. “If people had normal lives, these cafes wouldn‟t exist,” she says. “If life weren‟t a battle, people wouldn‟t need a special place just to speak.” But then, it wouldn‟t be France.32.What are people encouraged to do at the cafe La Chope?A. Learn a new subjectB. Keep in touch with friends.C. Show off their knowledge.D. Express their true feelings.33. How are cafes affected by French lifestyle changes?A. They have bigger night crowds.B. They stay open for longer hours.C. They are less frequently visited.D. They start to serve fast food.34. What are theme cafes expected to do?A. Save the cafe business.B. Supply better drinks.C. Create more jobs.D. Serve the neighborhood.35. Why are psychology cafes becoming popular in Paris?A. They bring people true friendship.B. They give people spiritual support.C. They help people realize their dreams.D. They offer a platform for business links.第二节(共5小题,每小题3分,满分15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。

They motivate workers and they makean impression on people who visit and might be potential, or 41 , customers. They makebusiness work better, and they are a part of the corporate culture to live in.As we move away from an industrial-based economy to a knowledge-based one, office designerscome up with 42 to the traditional work environments of the past. The design industry hasmoved away from a fixed office setup and created more flexible “strategic management environments.”These 43 solutions are meant to support better organizational performance.As employee hierarchies (等级制度)have flattened or decreased, office designers’ response tothis change has been to move open-plan areas to more desirable locations within the office and createfewer formal private offices. The need for increased flexibility has also been 44 by changes inworkstation design. Office and work spaces often are not 45 to a given person on a permanentbasis. Because of changes to methods of working, new design allow for expansion or movement ofdesks, storage, and equipment within the workplace. Another important design goal is communication,which designers have improved by breaking the walls that 46 workstations. Designers have47 to heavily trafficked areasalso created informal gathering places and upgraded employees’such as copy and coffee rooms.Corporate and institutional office designers often struggle to resolve a number of competing andoften 48 demands, including budgetary limits, employees hierarchies and technologicalinnovation (especially in relation to computerization). These demands must also be balanced with theneed to create interiors (内饰) that in some way enhance, establish or possess a company’s image and will enable employees to 49 and their best.All these 50 of office design are related. The most successful office designs are like goodmarriage—the well-designed office and the employees that occupy it are seemingly made for eachother.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C andD. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.If you studied pictures that ancient people left on rock walls and you tried to determine theirmeaning, you would not detect interest in romance among the artists. 51 , you would see plenty ofearned to center on hunting andanimals with people running after them. Life for ancient people’sgathering wild foods for meals.In modern times, when food is available in grocery stores, finding love is more 52 inpeople’s lives. The 53 is all around us. It is easy to prepare a list of modern stories having to dowith love. An endless number of books and movies qualify as love stories in popular culture.Researchers are studying whether love, a highly valued emotional state, can be 54 . They ask,what is love? Toothpaste companies want us to think attraction is all about clean teeth, but clean teethgo only so far. Scientists wonder how much the brain gets involved. You have probably heard thatopposites attract but that 55 attract, too. One thing is certain: The truth about love is not yet set instone.First ImpressionTo help determine the 56 of attraction, researchers paired 164 college classmates and hadthem talk for 3, 6 or 10 minutes so they could get a sense of each other’s individuality. Then students were asked to 57 what kind of relationship they were likely to build with their partners. Afternine weeks, they reported what happened.As it turned out, their 58 judgments often held true. Students seemed to 59 at an earlystage who would best fit into their lives.The 60 KnowsScientists have also turned to nonhumans to increase understanding of attraction. Many animalsgive off pheromones — natural chemicals that can be detected by, and then can produce a response in,other animals of the same species. Pheromones can signal that an animal is either ready to fight or isfeeling 61 to partnerships. In contrast, humans do not seem to be as 62 as other animals atdetecting such chemicals. Smell, however, does seem to play a part in human attraction. Although wemay not be aware of chemicals like pheromones consciously, we give and receive loads of informationthrough smell in every interaction with other people.Face ValueBeing fond of someone seems to have a number of factors, including seeing something we findattractive. Researchers had people judge faces for 63 . The participants had 0.013 seconds to vieweach face, yet somehow they generally considered the images the same as people who had more time tostudy the same faces. The way we 64 attractiveness seem to be somewhat automatic.When shown an attractive face and then words with good or bad associations, people responded to65 words faster after viewing an attractive face. Seeing something attractive seems to cause happythinking.51. A. Instead B. Therefore C. Moreover D. Otherwise52. A. romantic B. stressful C. central D. artificial53. A. priority B. proof C. possibility D. principle54. A. tested B. impressed C. changed D. created55. A. appearances B. virtues C. similarities D. passions56.

An Update on the Cotswold Canals23. Who will give the talk on the islands in the Thames?A. Chris LewisB. Malcolm TuckerC. Miranda VickersD. Liz PayneB The freezing Northeast hasn’t been a terriblyfun place to spend time this winter, so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota, Florida, my bags were packed before you could say “sunshine”. I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C(维生素C), thinking of beaches and orange trees. When we touched down to blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness. Swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets(at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend, but the best part-particularly to my taste, dulled by months of cold-weather root vegetables-was a 7 a.m. adventure to the Sarasota farmers’ market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7 am to 1 p.m, rain or shine, along North Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries, the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes.Disappointed by many a broken, vine-ripened(蔓上成熟的) promise, I’ve refused to buy winter tomatoes for years. No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home t hey’re unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless. But I homed in, with uncertainty, on one particular table at the Brown’s Grove Farm’s stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These were the real deal- and at that moment, I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn’t be experiencing again for months.Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown’s Grove Farm is one of the s uppliers for Jack Dusty, a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where-luckily for me-I was planning to have dinner that very night. Without even seeing the menu, I knew I’d be ordering every tomato on it.24. What did the author think of her winter lifein New York?A. Exciting.B. Boring.C. Relaxing.D. Annoying.25. What made the author’s getting up early worthwhile?A. Having a swim.B. Breathing in fresh air.C. Walking in the morning sun.D. Visiting a local farmer’s market.26. What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter?A. They are soft.B. They look nice.C. They taste great.D. They are juicy.27. What was the author going to do that evening?A. Eat in a restaurant.B. Check into a hotel.C. Go to a farm.D. Buy fresh vegetables.CSalvador Dali (1904-1989) was one of the most popular of modern artists. The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerfulpersonality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more. Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly The Persistence of Memory. There is also L’Enigme sans Fin from 1938, works on paper, objects, and projects for stage and screen and selected parts from television programmes reflecting the artist’s showman qualities.The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning, the world of birth. The exhibition follows a path of time and subject with the visitor exiting through the brain.The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities (无限). “From the infinity small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus: amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figueras,” explains thePompidou Centre.The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration (合作)with the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain, and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida.28. Which of the following best describes Dali according to Paragraph 1?A. Optimistic.B. ProductiveC. Generous.D. Traditional.29. What is Da li’s The Persistence of Memory considered to be?A. One of his masterworks.B. A successful screen adaptation.C. An artistic creation for the stage.D. One of the beat TV programmes.30. How are the exhibits arranged at the World of Dali?A. By popularity.B. By importance.C. By size and shape.D. By time and subject.31. What does the word “contributions” in thelast paragraph refer to?A. Donations.B. Projects.C. Artworks.D. Documents.DConflict is on the menu tonight at the café La Chope. This evening, as on every Thursday night, psychologist Maud Lehanne is leading two of France’s favorite pastimes, coffee drinking and the “talking cure”. Here they are learning to get in touch with their true feelings. It isn’t always easy. The customers-some thirty Parisians who pay just under $2 (plus drinks) per session-are quick to intellectualize (高谈阔论),slow to open up and connect. “You are forbidden to say ‘one feels,’ or ‘people think’,”Lehanne told them. “Say ‘I think,’ ‘Think me’.”A cafe society where no intellectualizing is allowed? It couldn’t seem more un-French. But Lehanne’s psychology cafe is about more than knowing oneself: It’s trying to help the city’stroubled neighborhood cafes. Over the years, Parisian cafes have fallen victim to changes in the French lifestyle-longer working hours, a fast-food boom and a younger generation’s desire to spend more time at home. Dozens of new theme cafes appear to change the situation. Cafes focused around psychology, history, and engineering are catching on, filling tables well into the evening.The city’s “psychology cafes”, which offer great comfort, are among the most popular places. Middle-aged homemakers, retirees, and the unemployed come to such cafes to talk about love, anger, and dreams with a psychologist. And they come to Lehanne’s group just to learn to say what they feel. “There’s a strong need in Paris for communication,” says Maurice Frisch, a cafe La Chope regular who works as a religi ous instructor in a nearby church. “People have few real friends.And they need to open up.” Lehanne says she’d like to see psychology cafes all over France. “If people had normallives, these cafes wouldn’t exist,” she says. “If life weren’t a battle, people wouldn’t need a special place just to speak.” But then, it wouldn’t be France.32.What are people encouraged to do at the cafe La Chope?A. Learn a new subjectB. Keep in touch with friends.C. Show off their knowledge.D. Express their true feelings.33. How are cafes affected by French lifestyle changes?A. They have bigger night crowds.B. They stay open for longer hours.C. They are less frequently visited.D. They start to serve fast food.34. What are theme cafes expected to do?A. Save the cafe business.B. Supply better drinks.C. Create more jobs.D. Serve the neighborhood.35. Why are psychology cafes becoming popular in Paris?A. They bring people true friendship.B. They give people spiritual support.C. They help people realize their dreams.D. They offer a platform for business links.第二节(共5小题,每小题3分,满分15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。

An Update on the Cotswold Canals23. Who will give the talk on the islands in the Thames?A. Chris LewisB. Malcolm TuckerC. Miranda VickersD. Liz PayneBThe freezing Northeast hasn’t been a terribly fun place to spend time this winter, so when the chance came for a weekend to Sarasota, Florida, my bags were packed before you could say “sunshine”. I left for the land of warmth and vitamin C(维生素C), thinking of beaches and orange trees. When we touched down to blue skies and warm air, I sent up a small prayer of gratefulness. Swimming pools, wine tasting, and pink sunsets(at normal evening hours, not 4 in the afternoon) filled the weekend, but the best part-particularly to my taste, dulled by months of cold-weather root vegetables-was a 7 a.m. adventure to the Sarasota farmers’ market that proved to be more than worth the early wake-up call.The market, which was founded in 1979, sets up its tents every Saturday from 7 am to 1 p.m, rain or shine, along North Lemon and State streets. Baskets of perfect red strawberries, the red-painted sides of the Java Dawg coffee truck; and most of all, the tomatoes: amazing, large, soft and round red tomatoes.Disappointed by many a broken, vine-ripened(蔓上成熟的) promise, I’ve refused to buy winter tomatoes for years. No matter how attractive they look in the store, once I get them home they’re unfailingly dry, hard, and tasteless. But I homed in,with uncertainty, on one particular table at the Brown’s Grove Farm’s stand, full of fresh and soft tomatoes the size of my fist. These were the real deal- and at that moment, I realized that the best part of Sarasota in winter was going to be eating things that back home in New York I wouldn’t be experiencing again for months.Delighted as I was by the tomatoes in sight, my happiness deepened when I learned that Brown’s Grove Farm is one of the suppliers for Jack Dusty, a newly opened restaurant at the Sarasota Ritz Carlton, where-luckily for me-I was planning to have dinner that very night. Without even seeing the menu, I knew I’d be ordering every tomato on it.24. What did the author think of her winter life in New York?A. Exciting.B. Boring.C. Relaxing.D. Annoying.25. What made the author’s getting up early worthwhile?A. Having a swim.B. Breathing in fresh air.C. Walking in the morning sun.D. Visiting a local farmer’s market.26. What can we learn about tomatoes sold in New York in winter?A. They are soft.B. They look nice.C. They taste great.D. They are juicy.27. What was the author going to do that evening?A. Eat in a restaurant.B. Check into a hotel.C. Go to a farm.D. Buy fresh vegetables.CSalvador Dali (1904-1989) was one of the most popular of modern artists. The Pompidou Centre in Paris is showing its respect and admiration for the artist and his powerful personality with an exhibition bringing together over 200 paintings, sculptures, drawings and more. Among the works and masterworks on exhibition the visitor will find the best pieces, most importantly The Persistence of Memory.There is also L’Enigme sans Fin from 1938, works on paper, objects, and projects for stage and screen and selected parts from television programmes reflecting the artist’s showman qualities.The visitor will enter the World of Dali through an egg and is met with the beginning, the world of birth. The exhibition follows a path of time and subjectwith the visitor exiting through the brain.The exhibition shows how Dali draws the viewer between two infinities (无限). “From the infinity small to the infinity large, contraction and expansion coming in and out of focus: amazing Flemish accuracy and the showy Baroque of old painting that he used in his museum-theatre in Figueras,” explains the Pompidou Centre.The fine selection of the major works was done in close collaboration (合作)with the Museo Nacional Reina Sofia in Madrid, Spain, and with contributions from other institutions like the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida.28. Which of the following best describes Dali according to Paragraph 1?A. Optimistic.B. ProductiveC. Generous.D. Traditional.29. What is Dali’s The Persistence of Memory considered to be?A. One of his masterworks.B. A successful screen adaptation.C. An artistic creation for the stage.D. One of the beat TV programmes.30. How are the exhibits arranged at the World of Dali?A. By popularity.B. By importance.C. By size and shape.D. By time and subject.31. What does the word “contributions” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Donations.B. Projects.C. Artworks.D. Documents.DConflict is on the menu tonight at the café La Chope. This evening, as on every Thursday night, psychologist Maud Lehanne is leading two of France’s favorite pastimes, coffee drinking and the “talking cure”. Here they are learning to get in touch with their true feelings. It isn’t always easy. The customers-some thirty Parisians who pay just under $2 (plus drinks) per session-are quick to intellectualize (高谈阔论),slow to open up and connect. “You are forbidden to say ‘one feels,’ or ‘people think’,”Lehanne told them. “Say ‘I think,’‘Think me’.”A cafe society where no intellectualizing is allowed? It couldn’t seem more un-French. But Lehanne’s psychology cafe is about more than knowing oneself: It’s trying to help the city’s troubled neighborhood cafes. Over the years, Parisiancafes have fallen victim to changes in the French lifestyle-longer working hours, a fast-food boom and a younger generation’s desire to spend more time at home. Dozens of new theme cafes appear to change the situation. Cafes focused around psychology, history, and engineering are catching on, filling tables well into the evening.The city’s “psychology cafes”, which offer great comfort, are among the most popular places. Middle-aged homemakers, retirees, and the unemployed come to such cafes to talk about love, anger, and dreams with a psychologist. And they come to Lehanne’s group just to learn to say what they feel. “There’s a strong need in Paris for communication,” says Maurice Frisch, a cafe La Chope regular who works as a religious instructor in a nearby church. “People have few real friends.And they need to open up.” Lehanne says she’d like to see psychology cafes all over France. “If people had normal lives, these cafes wouldn’t exist,” she says. “If life weren’t a battle, people wouldn’t need a special place just to speak.” But then, it wouldn’t be France.32.What are people encouraged to do at the cafe La Chope?A. Learn a new subjectB. Keep in touch with friends.C. Show off their knowledge.D. Express their true feelings.33. How are cafes affected by French lifestyle changes?A. They have bigger night crowds.B. They stay open for longer hours.C. They are less frequently visited.D. They start to serve fast food.34. What are theme cafes expected to do?A. Save the cafe business.B. Supply better drinks.C. Create more jobs.D. Serve the neighborhood.35. Why are psychology cafes becoming popular in Paris?A. They bring people true friendship.B. They give people spiritual support.C. They help people realize their dreams.D. They offer a platform for business links.第二节(共5小题,每小题3分,满分15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。

This evening, as on every Thursday night, psychologist Maud Lehanne is leading two of France's favorite pastimes, coffee drinking and the "talking cure". Here they are learning to get in touch with their true feelings. It isn't always easy. The customers - some thirty Parisians who pay just under $2 (plus drinks) per session - are quick to intellectualize(高谈阔论),slow to open up and connect. "You are forbidden to say 'one feels,' or 'people think'," Leh anne told them. “Say …I think,‟…Think me‟.”A cafe society where no intellectualizing is allowed? It couldn't seem more un-French.B ut Lehanne‟s psychology cafe is about more than knowing oneself: It's trying to help the City‟s troubled neighborhood cafes. Over the years, Parisian cafes have fallen victim to changes in the French lifestyle - longer working hours, a fast-food boom and a younger g eneration‟s desire to spend more time at home. Dozens of new theme cafes appear to change the situation. Cafes focused around psychology, history, and engineering are catching on, filling tables well into the evening.The city's "psychology cafes", which offer great comfort, are among the most popular places. Middle-aged homemakers, retirees, and the unemployed come to such cafes to talk about love, anger, and dreams with a psychologist. And they come to Lehanne's group just to learn to say what they feel. "There's a strong need in Paris for communication," says Maurice Frisch,a cafe La Chope regular who works as a religious instructor in a nearby church. “People have few real friends. And they need to open up." Lehanne says she'd lik e to see psychology cafes all over France. "If people had normal lives, these cafes wouldn't exist," she says. "If life weren'ta battle, people wouldn't need a special place just to speak." But then, it wouldn't be France32. What are people encouraged to do at the cafe La Chope?A. Learna new subject.B.
