Surround yourself with people whom you want to be like.To do this you may have to get right out of your comfort zone and join in a coaching program, go along to seminars(专题讨论会) where you can meet other like-minded people or those playing at a higher level of business than you.There’s no excuse not to get off your butt and learn your way to success. Regardless of whereyou are located，events are taking place all around the country regularly as well as online. Saying you have “no money” or “no time” is not a good enough excuse.For many business owners they spend their whole lives using these excuses and going nowhere. Don’t focus on where you are now, but where you want to be. You’ll find the money and the time if you seriously want to change.You ongoing learning can take you from struggling along to soaring high in all areas of your life.It’s been nearly six months since you made those New Year decisions to make changes in your business and your life.Are you getting the results you wanted?Is your business more profitable?Do you have more free time?Is the quality of your life improving?Is your answer “yes”, then take a look at why that is. What have you been doing to get these results? And if you’re not moving ahead, seriously look at why that is. When’s the last time you read a book, listened to a CD, got coached or attended a seminar to learn how to do things better? The people I know who are getting great results in their business and personal lives are always learning and growing.You are the Secret to Your Success, so do everything within your power to invest in yourself.61. All the following ways can contribute to your business EXCEPT ___________.A. getting in touch with successful peopleB. not dreaming of living a comfortable lifeC. avoiding finding unnecessary excusesD. deciding to change your present life62.

People are supposed to set higher goals.B. It’s sometimes difficult to change a person.C. Average people are easy to get along with.D. You don’t get better by doing something.65.What would be the best title for this passage?A. Failure is the Mother of SuccessB. Successful Business OwnersC. Learn Your Way to SuccessD. No More any ExcusesCStudies have shown that the fewer medicines a person has to take the more likely he or she will take them. Last week, a study was released about a new treatment that combines 5 medicines for heart disease in one pill. Salim Yusuf of McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada was the lead investigator. He presented the findings at the American College of Cardiology Conference in Orlando, Florida.The experimental drug is known as Polycap. It contains aspirin, a drug to lower cholesterol (胆固醇)and three medicines to lower blood pressure. The study was carried out at 50 health centers across India. More than two thousand people between the ages of 45 and 80 took part in the study. All had at least one risk factor for heart disease. These include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes or being severely overweight.The people were divided into 9 groups of about 200 people each. One group took Polycap. The other groups took either a single drug or different combinations of the medicines in the Polycap pill. The study showed that Polycap lowered blood pressure and cholesterol without many side effects. Doctor Y usuf said the single pill, taken once a day, could reduce the average person's risk of heart disease and stroke by about half. The maker of Polycap, Cadila Pharmaceuticals of India, paid for the study.Cardiovascular diseases（心血管疾病）of the heart and blood vessels are the number one cause of death around the world. These diseases kill more than seventeen million people every year.80 percent of them are in low and middle income countries. Doctor Yusuf said the single pill treatment could revolutionize heart disease prevention. People would be more likely to take one pill a day than many pills. And one pill would cost less than several pills.Other heart doctors say heart disease prevention is important but not necessarily with pills. They say patients might be able to get the same results with changes in diet and exercise.Doctors say that more research on Polycap is needed. They say the drug should be tested on thousands more people, including those in different risk, age and ethnic grou ps.66. The underlined sentence in Paragragh 1 implies that people _______.A. don’t like to take medicinesB. tend to take fewer medicinesC. should take medicines if it is necessaryD. tend to fall sick if they take fewer medicines67. Which of the following about Doctor Y usuf’s experiment on Polycap in India is True?A. Polycap was tested for its five different combinations.B. Polycap was proved basically safe and effective.C. All the participatiors had at least one symptom of heart disease.D. Participators were required to come from different ages and ethnic groups.68. From the passage, we can infer that Polycap ________.A. is generally accepted by heart doctorsB. mainly consists of medicines to lower blood pressureC. is certain to play important role in heart disease preventionD. will be cheaper than other common medicines to treat heart disease69. According to the passage, the following people are more likely to get Cardiovascular disease except ______.A. old peopleB. low-income peopleC. overweight peopleD. diabetic people70. What would be the best title for the passage?A. Different opinions about heart disease prevention.B. A combination pill may cut heart disease risk in half.C. A combination pill cures blood pressure and bad cholesterol.D. Cardiovascular diseases are the number one killer in the world.PART FOUR WRITING (45%)SECTION A (10%)Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.An altimeter（测高计）is an instrument used in an airplane to tell the pilot how high he is flying.The altimeter used in most airplanes is a kind of barometer（气压计）,which, like barometers found in ordinary homes, is a measuring instrument for air pressure. The weight of the atmosphere presses downwards everywhere. At sea level this pressure is more than 14 pounds on every square inch of the surface. The higher you go into the air, the lower the air pressure is. An altimeter measures this air pressure to show the altitude of the airplane, or, how high it is abo ve sea level.But the altimeter does not show how high the plane is above the ground. A plane might be flying at an altitude of 15,000 feet, but it would be only a thousand feet or so above the ground if the land in that area happened to be 14,000 feet above sea level.The pilot adjusts his altimeter to the actual sea-level pressure before setting out from the airport and then corrects it in flight according to new information given to him by radio. He flies high enough to be above any mountain he may pass on his course. The barometer altimeter is correct within about 300 feet.Another kind of altimeter, the radio altimeter, makes use of radio reflections. It calculates the height of the flying pl ane by sending out electrical signals to the surface below and measuring the time required f or them to bounce back（反弹）. It is correct within 15 feet over water, but is not reliable over land. Big planes usually have both kinds of altimeter.SECTION B (10%)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and the required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.Image that you are sitting in a park and suddenly remember that you need to send an urgent email. You have your laptop computer with you and you connect it to a wireless access point (WAP) and access the Internet. Then you send your email. Wireless Internet has tricked(慢慢进入) into our existence in so many ways that we don’t even realize what a necessary part it has become of our day-to-day lives.How do we connect to a wireless Internet service for laptop computers? There are two ways to do this. They are Wi-Fi connection and bluetooth connection. Wireless networking is very easy. You just switch on the Wi-Fi button that has been provided in the laptop for Wi-Fi browsing. Once that is done, the computer will make you connect to the Internet.An increasing fact about Wi-Fi networking is that you can create a network between similar wireless devices. This is especially easy in Wi-Fi compatible (兼容的) laptops. Consider a situation where you and your friend both have Wi-Fi laptops, and there is some data you want to exchange. But the beauty of Wi-Fi networking technology is that you can set up a network between you and your friend’s laptop, and share all the data you want.Broadband Internet connection is typically preferred by any user as it provides better speed for Internet browsing. Broadband wireless Internet for laptops is similar to Wi-Fi technology. Wherever you find a Wi-Fi hot spot, its backbone is always broadband Internet. Up until the invention of 3G mobile phones, Internet speed on mobile phone was very slow. 3G has the promise of changing the entire face of broadband technology. Just imagine browsing at speeds of more than 2MB per second. To give you a measure of the speed, 3G enables you to watch high quality live videos on the Internet.It is amazing to see how technology changes and the rate at which it changes. There may come a time when you may be able to browse using mobile wireless Internet for laptops anywhere in the world.81. What’s the author’s purpose by giving an example at the beginning of the passage? (No more than 5 words.)____________________________________________________________________.82. If you want to share data with your friends through Wi-Fi networking, what should you do? ( No more than 6 words.)____________________________________________________________________.83. What does the passage mainly talk about? ( No more than 5 words.)____________________________________________________________________.84. What is the greatest advantage of 3G mobile phones? ( No more than 5 words.)____________________________________________________________________.SECTION C (25%)Directions: Write an English letter according to the instructions given below in Chinese.下图描绘的是当今学生中存在的一种现象。

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D.Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.AThere is a new trend that has started in some Italian cities. It is called “Citta Slow”. “Citta” in Italian means city. The concept of “Citta Slow” aims to improve people’s quality of life by creating a more caring and ecologically correct environment through the enjoyment of food art, theatre, community gathering places and so on.Slow cities are characterized by a way of life that enables people to live slowly. Traditions and traditional ways of doing things are valued. Slow cities have less traffic, less noise and fewer crowds.These cities stand up against the fast pace of life often seen in other cities throughout the world.Towns in Italy have banded together to form an organization called the Slow City Movement. The global organization hopes to help the world by deciding which cities can call themselves Slow Cities and which cities cannot.The principles of the Slow City Movement are those we would like all cities to live by. Hopefully the movement will continue and cities that cannot meet the strict criteria will continue to work towards these principles.The Slow City Movement is already very popular around the world. London is one of the cities that are taking part and it has its own website. The website says: “There are people in cities all over the world who have found all sorts of ways to bring a sense of relaxation to places where it can often be stressful to live. Slow London provides a place for these people to meet and share their ideas.”65．“Citta Slow” is .A．a movement started in some Italian citiesB．a new trend already popular around the worldC．a way of life that enables people to live slowlyD．a concept against the fast pace of life66．According to the passage, to improve people’s quality of life, it is effective to .A．practise as your previous generations didB．persuade all people to travel on footC．pay a single visit to the theatreD．put emphasis upon the fast pace of life67．Which of the following statement is NOT true about the Slow City Movement?A．The Slow City Movement was initiated in Italy.B．London is taking part in the Slow City Movement.C．The Slow City Movement is trying to form the standard of slow cities.D．Only some cities are slow ones by the criteria.68．Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?A．Citta SlowB．Slow CitiesC．Slow Cities and the Slow MovementD．The Slow City MovemetBDepartment of Homeland SecurityU.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services I – 797 C, Notice of01/31/05)69．What does this table allow you to do?A．T o apply for a visit to America.B．T o apply for immigration to America.C．To apply for a visit to the People’s Republic of China.D．To apply for immigration to the People’s Republic of China.70．You can get to the destination on .A．May 25,1975B．January 31,C．June 18,D．July 18,71．Suppose you plan to change your applicant status, you have to .A．notify U.

More than one million of them die, mostly young children and pregnant women in Africa.For several years in sub-Saharan Africa, the Global Fund and other groups have been paying for bed nets treated with long-lasting insect poison. Malaria is spread by mosquito bites. The groups have also invested in antimalaria drugs for A.C.T., artemisinin-based combination therapy.Recently, a team from the World Health Organization visited Ethiopia, Ghana, Rwanda and Zambia. These countries were the first to distribute the bed nets and medicine. The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis(肺结核) and Malaria requested a study to see if the interventions were helping.The researchers found that the answer is yes. They looked at records of children under five. They found that malaria deaths fell by sixty-six percent in Rwanda between two thousand five and two thousand seven. Deaths fell by fifty-one percent in Ethiopia, thirty-four percent in Ghana and thirty-three percent in Zambia.The team reported that limited supplies of bed nets could help explain the more limited effects in Zambia and Ghana. But the findings in Ghana were more difficult to explain, because deaths from causes other than malaria fell more sharply. The report says this was in keeping with general improvements in health services.The full report can be found at who. int, on the page for the global malaria program.In another new study, researchers reported that vitamin A and zinc treatments might also help protect young children from malaria. Scientists in Burkina Faso found that malaria reinfection rates fell by thirty – four percent in a group of children treated with vitamin A and zinc.The findings appear in Nutrition Journal, an open access publication that can be read free of charge at nutritionj. com.72．Which is probably the most useful in fighting malaria according to the passage?A．Bed nets.B．Medicine.C．Vitamin A and zinc treatments.D．Killing mosquitoes.73．Why did a team from the World health Organization visit the African countries?A．T o help the African countries to fight malaria.B．T o identify whether their effort to fight malaria was effective.C．To study which people tend to be infected with malaria.D．To study what measures can be taken against malaria.74．What can be concluded from the passage?A．Malaria only appears in Africa.B．Malaria is no longer a threat to African countries.C．The researchers are disappointed with the result of the study.D．People all over the world are trying to treat malaria.75．Which one summarizes the passage best?A．A Success Story for Malaria Control in AfricaB．Malaria in AfricaC．Say No to MalariaD．How to Treat MalariaDFarmers in the United States sometimes plant switchgrass as a border crop. But could this tall grass lower the nation’s dependence on foreign oil?The Department of Energy plans to invest hundreds of millions of dollars to help produce fuels from materials that are not part of the food supply. Growing corn, or maize, for fuel has raised concerns about the supply and cost of corn available for food and animal feed.Fuel made from switchgrass or forestry waste like sawdust(锯屑) is known as cellulosic(有纤维质的) ethanol(酒精). Department officials say it contains more energy and produces fewer greenhouse gases than ethanol made from corn. Switchgrass is also easier to grow.Last month, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences published a study of switchgrass grown on low-quality land. Government scientist Ken Vogel was the lead author. The study says the switchgrass produced five times more energy than was needed to grow it. Also, it says switchgrass, over its lifetime from crop to fuel, produces much less carbon compared to gasoline.Fossil fuels like oil take carbon from the ground and release it as waste gas when the fuel is burned. Biofuels(生物燃料) like corn and cellulosic ethanol also produce greenhouse gases, through growing crops and making the fuel. The difference is that biofuels remove carbon from the atmosphere through the growth of the feedstock, the material for the fuel.Science magazine just published two studies of biofuels and the heat-trapping gases that scientists link to climate change. One of the reports notes that most studies have found that substituting biofuels for gasoline will reduce greenhouse gases.But it says the earlier studies failed to count the carbon released into the atmosphere as farmers worldwide react to higher prices. They are clearing forests and grasslands to make way for new cropland to replace the grain used for biofuels. Doing so can release much of the carbon stored in the plants and soil, and sacrifice future storage.The study found that corn-based ethanol could increase greenhouse gases for years from land use change. And it found that biofuels from switchgrass, if grown on American corn land, could also increase emissions, though by less.The study team, led by Timothy Searchinger at Princeton University, says the result shows the value of using waste products for fuel. The other report says carbon savings depend on how biofuels are produced.76．Switchgrass is a better fuel than corn in all the following aspects except .A．switchgrass grows on low – quality landB．switchgrass produces more energy than cornC．switchgrass produces fewer greenhouse gases than cornD．swiotchgrass is easier to grow77．It is implied in the underlined sentence that .A．an increasing number of people worry about the use of corn as fuelB．there will be an increase in price of corn for food if it is used as fuelC．there will be an decrease in quantity of corn for food if it is used as fuelD．all the above choices are right78．Biofuels produces much less carbon compared to Fossil fuels in that .A．biofuels produce less greenhouse gases than fossil fuelsB．fossil fuels release carbon while biofuels not when burningC．biofuels take in carbon from the air when they are growingD．biofuels produce greenhouse gases only when they are burning79．The passage indicates that .A．we’d better make full use of biofuels to protect the environmentB．the value of using biofuels remains to be further studiedC．it’s costless to grow biofeulsD．biofuels are just switchgrass and cornSection CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A –John Graham won the annual competition of tall tales, which is held at the Bridge. Inn in Santon Bridge, in Britain’s Lake District. The “world’s biggest liar” has been crowned, after telling a tale about a German World War II submarine invading Britain to get digital television decoders. The 69 – year – old Graham, who has won the title five times before, insisted to BBC radio that “it was a true story”.The annual World’s Biggest Liar Competition, which now draws tourists and competitors from around the world, dates back to the 19 th century when it was founded toThe contest is always held at the Bridge Inn. Ritson was a popular pub owner who lived in the western Lake District. He always kept his customers interested with his funny stories. Of course, Ritson was a very honest and sincere man, who insisted that all hisperson who is worthy of following in Ritson’s footsteps.

PART THREE READING COMPREHENSION（30 points）Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.（A）If you’re the type of traveler who just wants a suitable place to hang your hat and you don’t want to spend a fortune to do it, here are several ways to save on your next hotel room: *Be Flexible Hotel rates are based on supply and demand, so be aware of peak periods. If your destination’s high season is from December through April and you’re trying to book near the end of April, you might find considerable savings if you change your travel dates by a week or two.*Check Hotel Web Sites The large travel-booking Web sites often sell rooms from the middlemen who have bought up empty hotel moms. But the major hotel chains also offer last-minute discounts, and becaus e they’re not paying the middleman, they sometimes have better deals than the travel sites.*Don’t be Afraid to Bargain Most people are so intimidated（畏缩的）by know-it-all hotel desk clerks that they don’t bargain for a better deal. But bargaining for a b etter deal is often worth the trouble, because most hotel general managers would prefer having a customer paying a lower-than-usual rate to no customer at all. And if you find something unfair on your hotel bill, don’t be afraid to complain. To keep your goodwill, hotels will often reduce or cancel such charges.*Avoid Hidden Costs Expensive little extras hotels never mention can increase the cost of your stay. Don’t let this happen. Find out about resort fees, fees for parking and Internet use before you agree to stay. And don’t touch the hotel’s phone unless you absolutely have to — the rates can be more than $2 a minute even inside the United States.56. According to the passage, which of the following will save you some money?A. Change your visiting places in high season.B. Book rooms through Web sites.C. Use the hotel’s phone.D. Bargain with desk clerks for your room,57. That travelers can bargain for better deal is often based on the fact that _______.A. managers often prefer a lower-paid customer to no customerB. there are many places which should not be chargedC. customers are often afraid to complain the priceD. the desk clerks and managers often cheat the travelers 58.

But they didn’t find out in the usual way.Archaeologists often date cave art with a process called radiocarbon dating. The technique can measure the age of carbon found in charcoal（木炭）drawings or painted pictures. Carbon is an element found in many things, including charcoal and even people. But in this case, there was no paint or charcoal to test. People carved the pictures of animals and figures into the rock using stone tools. The scientists had an “aha!” moment when they noticed small rocks stuck to the top of the drawings. The small rocks must have formed after the drawings were made.“It is rare to be able to scientifically date rock art,” said Alistair Pike, an archaeological scientist at Britain’s University of Bristol. “We were very fortunate that some of the engravings were covered by stalagmites（石笋）.When a test proved that the stalagmites formed 12,800 years ago, the scientists knew the art underneath them had to be at least that old. And some of the animals shown, like the European bison, are now extinct--another tip-off that the art is quite old.The artists came to Creswell Crags, This place is one of the farthest points north reached by our ancient ancestors during the Ice Age. At that time, much of the North Sea was dry, so people could move about more easily.Some tools and bones found there are 13,000 to 15,000 years old. They show that the travelers hunted horses, reindeer, and arctic hare. Their artwork is similar to art in France and Germany. It tells scientists that the Creswell Crags artists must have had a close connection to peoples several thousand kilometers away－another important clue to understanding how humans spread out across the world.62. Which of the following can be used as the best title of the passage?A. Cave Art About Animals Is Most BeautifulB. Cave Art Found in an Unusual WayC. Cave Art Turns Out to Be Britain’s OldestD. Cave Art in Britain63. The underlined word “archaeologists” in this passage probably means people ________.A. who study things left behind by people in the pastB. who have rich experience in paintingC. who are interested in wild animalsD. who are good at using stone tools64. Why do scientists say the art is quite old?A. The art was carved into stone with stone tools.B. The animals carved in the stone are beautiful.C. The cave is one of the farthest point in the world.D. Some pictures were covered by stalagmites more than 10,000 years old.65. By studying the cave art, scientists know something about _________.A. how ancient people crossed the North SeaB. why some of the animals have died outC. how humans spread out across the worldD. what kind of animals people hunt at that time（D）Machines in the home have a short history. Sewing machines, washing machines and tumble dries are common enough today, but a hundred years ago few people could even imagine such things. However, inventors have designed and built a wide range of household machines since then. In most cases the inventor tried to patent（申请专利）his machine, to stop anyone copying it. Then he tried to produce a lot of them. If the machine became popular, the inventor could make a lot of money.In 1790 the first sewing machine was patented. The inventor was an Englishman called Thomas Saint. There was nothing to match his machine for forty years, and then someone built a similar device. He was a Frenchman, Bartelemy Thimonier. Neither of these early machines worked verywell, however. It wasn’t until 1846 that an inventor came up with a really efficient sewing machine. He was an American, Elias Howe and his machine was good enough to beat five skilled sewing women. He didn’t make much money from it, however. The first commercia lly successful sewing machine was patented by Isaac Singer five years later.Today, we take washing machines for granted, but there was none before 1869. The revolving drum（旋转桶）of that first machine set a pattern for the future, but it was crude by today’s standards. The drum was turned by hand, and needed a lot of effort. Eight years passed before someone produced an electric washing machine. The world had to wait even longer for a machine to dry clothes. The first spin-drier was another American invention, patented in 1924; but it was 20 years before such machines were widely used.It was yet another American, called Bissell, who introduced the carpet sweeper. He patented the original machine back in 1876. It didn’t pick up dirt very well, but it was qui cker than a dustpan and brush. Thirty-six years later, even the carpet sweeper was old-fashioned: modern homes now have a vacuum cleaner with an electric motor to suck the dust.66. Inventors patent the inventions so as to __________ .A. produce more machinesB. avoid being copied by othersC. make the inventions more popularD. make more money67. Whose sewing machine could do far more than the work that was done by five skilled sewing women?A. Thomas Saint’s.B. Bartelemy Thimonier’s.C. Elias Howe’s.D. Isaac Singer’s.68. According to the article, modern inventors __________.A. followed the pattern of the first revolving drum but improve it muchB. only imitated the first washing machineC. powered the first ever-made washing machine by electricityD. had to wait for the first spin-drier for a long time69. The underlined word “crude” in the sentence “but it was crude by today’s standards.”probably means __________.A. uselessB. ugly-lookingC. roughD. not skillfully made70. The article mainly tells us about __________.A. the great inventors in the worldB. the important inventions in the worldC. the short history of household machinesD. the importance of the machines used in the homeIV. PART FOUR WRITINGSECTION A（10 points）Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram/Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information for the passage. Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.As the US wakes up to China’s rising status（地位）as an economic and strategic competitor, US parents are urging their children to learn Chinese, reports Julian Borger.The US is being swept by a rush to learn Mandarin（普通话）-- from wealthy New York mothers hiring Chinese nannies（保姆）for their small children to a defence department education project in Oregon.The forces driving Mandarin’s momentum（势头）are parental ambition for children facing a future in which China is almost certain to be a major player, and the government is worried about that America may get left behind in that new world.The bottleneck is the supply of teachers. Mandarin instructors are difficult to import and difficult to train. There are visa problems in bringing over teachers from China but the biggest barrier is cultural. Teaching in Asia is generally done by rote and the change to western, interactive styles of instruction can be a large leap（跳越）.On the other hand, it requires enormous firmness for westerners to learn a language like Chinese, with its thousands of written characters. According to the Asia Society in New York, all ofAmerica’s teacher -training institutions turn out only a couple of dozen homegrown Mandarin teachers.One way to ease the shortage is to find native Mandarin speakers and use fast-track methods to train them. However, the majority of Chinese-Americans grew up speaking Cantonese, the dialect （方言）spoken in Hong Kong, where their parents came from. Many are themselves signing on as Mandarin students at the private language schools springing up on the west coast.Title: 71in the USAparental ambition for children 7273 t he US government’s worrying about 74 the shortage of 75 difficulty in 76 Mandarin instructors 77 in bringing over teachers from China cultural barrier —different teaching styles between Asia and America the westerners’ 78 of learning Chinese Difficulties/bottlenecks79 to find 80 and train them with fast-track methodsSECTION B（10 points）Directions: Read the following passage.

N. deal to fight global warming by the end of 2009, even though the global economic crisis has raised worries about the costs."We have been dreaming of a new climate deal for a long time," Kim Carstensen, head of a global climate organization at the conservation group WWF, said in a bar in the German city of Bonn, which hosts U. N. climate talks between March 29 and April 8."Now we're no longer so alone with our dream. We're sharing it with all these people switching off their lights," he said.The UN Climate Panel says greenhouse gas emissions are warming the planet and will lead to more floods, droughts, rising sea levels and animal and plant extinctions.World emissions have risen by about 70 percent since the 1970s.Australia first held Earth Hour in 2007 and it went global in 2008, attracting 50 million people, organizers say.

You spend an hour with them and feel as if you’ve known them half your life. These people have something in common. And once we know what it is, we can try to do it ourselves.How is it done? Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you know the skills, they will help you put people at their ease, and make friends with them quickly.First of all, good talkers have asked questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question. One well-known bus iness woman says, ―At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. It’s a common question, but it will get things going.‖ From there you can move on to other matters---sometimes to really personal questions. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen for the answers. This point seems clear, but it isn’t. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen, carefully and attentively.Real listening at least means some things. First it means not to change the subject of conversation. If someone sticks to one topic, you can take it as a fact that he’s really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, it’s time for you to change the subject.Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion of parting. If you’re saying goodbye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, ― I have really enjoyed meeting you.‖ If you want to see that person again, don’t keep it a secret. Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if they’ve known you half their lives.36. You will like to stay with some people _______.A. who have something in common with you.B. when you have met him before.C. with whom you feel it easy to get along well.D. from whom you can get necessary and timely help.37. What does the underlined expression ―put people at their ease‖ mean?A. To make people feel it easy to talk to you.B. To make people feel comfortable.C. To make people more easy-going.D. To make people feel encouraged.38. After asking somebody a question, you should _____.A. make it clear what is fit to ask nextB. wait quietly for his answersC. go on to ask him more questionsD. change the subject to another one39. How can you make the others feel they’ve known you half of their lives?A. By letting them know you enjoy meeting them.B. By giving them a firm handshake when parting.C. By asking proper questions and listening carefully and attentively.D. By keeping talking to them in the conversation.BMaybe What Will Be…?―I think the future will be cool. When the weather is not good, all you need to do is push a button and your house would be up above the clouds. All the schools would have computers. And whenever you want to go somewhere you’ll have a flying board to take you there. Also, when your house is messy, you just call your maid, Rose.‖—Dorian Flores, age 8―If New York City keeps going the way it is, it will be more crowded, with more traffic, worse air, more litter and less open, green spaces. Bridges and subways will be even older and need repair or replacement. We need to learn to take care of the environment, reuse, recycle and compost（制成堆肥）, so we have less garbage. Put more money into NYC budgets to maintain our parks, playgrounds and beaches. New Yorkers need to respect and love their city—not vandalize and litter it.‖—Linda Sarkadi, age 11―I think that if we all rode on bikes ri ght now, we could limit all the pollution that is in the world. Then our descendants（后代）could live in a safe environment. They wouldn’t have to suffer like their ancestors before them did. Another thing we could do to make the future better is to teach peo ple that fighting doesn’t solve any problems. This lesson will be passed down from generation to generation and the children of the future won’t have to be scared of doing anything. They will know that peace has finally come.‖—Riddhi Shah, age 10―In the year 2020, there will be many modern things. One thing is having a car run by the stars. We will have a computer disk called IQ 6000. We will have cars, phones and computers that are all run off batteries.‖—Jimit Shah, age 840. Dorian Flores hopes _____ in the future.A. the weather will be good.B. she can live in spaceC. she can call her friend RoseD. we can travel on a flying board41. The underlined word ―vandalize‖ most probably means _______.A. to destroy willfullyB. to ignore totallyC. to use excessivelyD. to pollute mildly42. _____ are the concerns of 10-year-old Riddhi Shah.A. Traffic and pollutionB. Pollution and warC. Population and pollutionD. Environment and education43. Jimit Shah hopes the future car _______.A. will be equipped with a computerB. will not use energyC. will run into spaceD. will run by a new energyCNew York: Japanese researchers have competed with young chimps against human adults in two tests of short-term memory, and overall, the chimps won.That challenges the belief that ―humans are superior to chimps in all cognitive functions,‖ said researcher Tetsuro Matsuzawa of Kyoto University.Professor Matsuzawa, a pioneer in studying the mental abilities of chimps, and his colleague Sana Inoue report the results in the latest issue of the journal Current Biology.One memory test included three five-year-old chimps, who had been taught the order of Arabic numerals 1 through 9, and a dozen human volunteers.They saw nine numbers displayed on a computer screen. When they touched the first number, the other eight turned into white squares. The test was to touch all these squares in the order of the numbers that used to be there. Results showed that the chimps, while no more accurate than people, could do this faster.One chimp, Ayumu, did the best. Researchers included him and nine college students in a second test.This time, five numbers flashed on the screen only briefly before they were replaced by white squares. When the numbers were displayed for just four-tenths or two-tenths of a second, Ayumu was the champ.Professor Matsuzawa thinks two factors gave chimps the edge. One, he believes human ancestors gave up much of his skill over time to make room in the brain for language abilities. The other factor is the youth of the chimps. The memory for images required for the tests resembles a skill found in children, which becomes weaker with age.44. What is the text mainly about?A. Sometimes chimps can do better than humans.B. Chimps against human adults.C. Two tests of short-term memory.D. Reasons why chimps won over humans.45. It can be learnt from the text that ______.A. the three chimps have been trained for years.B. the nine numbers were displayed in the order of 1 to 9.C. they must touch all the squares as fast as they can.D. the challenge was to touch those numbers in the proper order.46. We can conclude from the two tests that _____.A. Ayumu was always better at taking the pattern of numbers fast.B. the numbers didn’t apear in the same position each time.C. the nine numbers must appear on the screen in the order of 1 to 9.D. the students had managed to match the three young chimps.47. The reason why the college students lost may be that they have _____.A. got too tired to take the testsB. taken no brain room for this skillC. taken no interest in the testsD. got a little older to react quicklyDIt is winter and as you have probably noticed, germs are everywhere—runnng noses, sore throats, high fever, headache, nothing quite like the common cold to make you feel miserable.But experts believe that there is no link between cold weather and catching colds. So why arewe particularly weak in this season, and why do we frequently catch colds?Interact medicine expert, Dr Meenaskshi Jain of Max Hospital says, ―One reason could be because people are likely to stay indoors, so the virus can spread easily. Also the viruses are created quickly in wet space.‖The common cold is a viral infection（病毒性感染）that can be caused by any of up to 250 strains of virus, the most common group of which are the rhinovirus that hit the nose. They are responsible for anywhere between a third and half of all common colds.―They are spread through the nose and resp iratory passages（呼吸道）, by touching, and by contacting with airborne dusts that are created by sneezing or coughing,‖ says Dr Jain.There is no cure for the common cold and antibiotics（抗生素）are of no help. However, there are some premeasures which can help:Wash your hands regularly, so that germs get killed.Don’t share your drinking glasses with anyone as this will prevent the spread og the virus.Drink lots of water to avoid dehydration（脱水）.Make sure to eat enough fruits to improve your immune system.Get enough sleep and you’ll certainly become stronger.48. This passage mainly tells us about_______.A. how to prevent the cold affecting youB. how to keep the cold outC. how to keep yourself warm in winterD. how to keep away from germs49. How would people get viral infection most easily?A. Drinking.B. Eating.C. Touching.D. Breathing.50. In winter more people catch a cold, because _______.A. they like to stay outdoorsB. someone sneezes and coughs in the roomC. they’ve got runny nosesD. they are exposed to space with more viruses51. The author wants to _______.A. show us what the cold isB. tell us that good habits in life are importantC. tell us how viruses spread diseasesD. let us know that no medicine can cure the coldEForeign transport officials from throughout the world head straight for the Netherlands, acountry which has more bicycles than people and where bikes are used for three out of ten trips, to learn how to free their cities from the twentieth century problem of traffic crowdedness.They are brought to cycle-friendly villages, where the safety of cyclists is well protected and engines must give way to bicycles on ―bicycle highways‖. They also leave copies of the do-it-yourself design handbook ―Sigh Up For The Bikes‖, a cycle policy guide seen everywhere.Many countries have set special goals, such as Britain which wants ten percent of London traffic to be bicycles instead of cars compared with a national average of 2 percent.Although about 50 percent of citizens in Dutch cities use their bikes daily, the Dutch still don’t think it it is good enough. They plan to have 30 percent more bicycle kilometers by the year 2010, while reducing car traffic by 8.75 percent.In their densely populated lowlands the Dutch have no huge city traffic jams becaue of their love for the bike.Cycling might be cheap, fast and pleasant in many Dutch towns. It can still be a struggle for survival in today’s rush hour city traf fic.Fear of injury might be a more difficult problem to solve in Britain, where a cyclist is ten times more likely to be killed or injured than in Denmark or the Netherlands.But if you live, you will live longer.

The students, mostly from majors such as business management or international trade, will finish their driving courses within 20 days or so.Training costs have dropped to 2,600 yuan for students, according to the Haidian Driving School in Beijing. The price is not really low, but students will accept it, seeing it as an investment(投资) in their future. Familiarity with the operation of computers and fluent English are the basic skills graduating students need to find a job. But a driver’s permit has become another factor(因素).“In the job market, owning a driver’s permit sometimes strengthens a graduating student’s competiti veness for a good position.” says Zhou Yang, an undergraduate at the China University of Political Science and Law.Cars will become a necessary part of many people’s lives in the coming years, and it is difficult to get a permit of campus because of the pressures on working people’s time. “Having a fulltime job after graduation offers limited time to learn to drive. We senior students have plenty of spare time, plenty of opportunity to learn.” Zhou says.Xu Jian, an official at the driving school, said undergraduates were very able and serious, and could grasp in an hour what ordinary people took four hours to learn. In this driving school, middle-aged people, young women and college students are the main customers.To get a driver’s permit, a beginner is now required to have at least 86 hours’ practice before the final road test.56. in Beijing want to learn to drive.A.Most of the undergraduatesB.Many undergraduatesC.Many students in the driving schoolD.Most of the students who learn business or international trade57.The undergraduates are learning to drive because .A.they need this skill to find a good jobB.they like to drive carsC.they will not have any time to learn to drive after they have founda full-time jobD.most of them will be able to buy cars in the future58.Which of the following is likely to be Xu Jian’s opinion of students learning to drive?A.He thought it was better to learn it at college than at work.B.He decided it was a waste of money and time to learn to drive.C.He agreed that they could learn to drive.D.He thought they would spend three times more time to learn to drivethan usual.59.Which of the following can be the best headline for the passage?A.Students Pay Less to Learn to drive Now.B.Students Learn to Drive.C.It is Better to Learn to Drive at Colleges.D.Welcome to the Driving School.BWherever people live or work, there’s rubbish and people have to clean it up or take it away. Rubbish men come and collect your garbage(垃圾) from the bins outside your home every day. This week a team of highly trained rubbish men are going into space.Among the team of three is Leroy Chiao, a Chinese American astronaut(宇航员). He and two Russians will rocket into space for the long-distance garbage collection at the International Space Station(ISS). The mission also includes making repairs to the generators(发生器) on the space station that recycle waste to produce oxygen and water.They will bring back to earth waste that cannot be recycled. This includes empty food containers, dirty clothes and metal toilet boards.Since the Columbia shuttle blew up on take-off last year, there has been no trash collection from ISS for nearly two years. The buildup of rubbish on board is making life on board very difficult.“It’s at the point where we have to figure out a way to handle it. It’s limiting our efficiency, as we have to move some items out of the way.” said Michael Foale, an ISS astronaut who returned this April.This year’s bad hurricanes delayed the mission, which further increased the problem in the space station. A few weeks ago, two ISS astronauts put some trash into space.In the past, the Russian Mir Space Station(和平号空间站) regularly dumped garbage bags into space. But now international rules forbid it because the objects could pose dangers to the shuttles. Mir was famously dirty. It came down in 2001 after 15 years in orbit(轨道).60.What will the team of highly trained rubbish men do in space?A.They will get back all kinds of rubbish.B.They will do some research on recycling rubbish.C.They will repair the computers on ISS.D.They will get back rubbish that cannot be recycled and repair thegenerator on ISS.61.The Columbia shuttle .A.is going to space this weekB.was being repaired last yearC.is used for collecting rubbish in spaceD.was destroyed last year62.The underlined word “trash” in paragraph 4 means .A.foodB.rubbishC.containersD.dirty clothes63.Which of the following statements is NOT true?A.Rubbish hasn’t been collected from ISS for nearly two years.B.A Chinese American astronaut and two Russians will rocket to ISS thisweek.C.The generators make some waste produce oxygen and water.D.ISS astronauts often throw rubbish away into space.CCAR HIREHiring a self-drive car really adds to the enjoyment of your holiday.

Have you ever dreamt of being an artist? Maybe you’ll say it’s hard to draw. But in fact, drawing is not as difficult as you think. Even several simple lines can make a nice picture. Don’t you believe me? If not, take your pencil and follow me. I’ll show you how to draw a picture with some different kinds of lines, and you’ll be surprised to see the results.Now, let’s start. First of all, draw two bent lines which are closed like these:“ ”,which make up the body of the butterfly. Then draw several long straight lines from this “body” on both sides. And after that, draw some short straight lines between the long straight lines at the other ends to make close patterns(图案). And those make up the wings of the butterfly. To make the butterfly more beautiful, we add some zigzags(锯齿状线条) between the long straight lines beside the short straight lines. Some dotted lines and lines that look like water waves can also help us to make the butterfly’s wings more beautiful. At last, please add two feelers (触角) at the head of the butterfly so that our butterfly can look more lively.Now, look at our picture. Is it a surprising one? Isn’t it really fun!67.The writer wrote this passage in order to show us .A.he can draw a beautiful butterflyB.drawing is no difficultyC.he can teach drawingD.how to draw a butterfly68.Which of the following shows the “dotted lines”?69.Zigags are needed when we’re drawing a butterfly because we want to make it more .A.livelyB.surprisingC.beautifulD.funny70.How does the writer present his idea?A.With clear words.B.By giving a lively example.C.With lively instructions.D.By asking some related questions.71.Which of the following pictures is our finished one?EIn India, many women don’t know how to read or write.

Whatthey don’t know exactly is how to use the computer and the Internet.Computers and the Internet are a part of life for Americans. Over ahalf Americans use the Internet today. Soon people who can’t use a computerwill be called “illiterate”. By the year 2005,over 75% US people willuse the Internet at home. But 25% people who won’t use the Internet will have a lot of problems. It will be more difficult for them to work. Theywill not live as well, because the Internet helps people do better in life, work and so on. This phenomenon(现象) will cause the “digital divide” among Americans.

They can make you relax or want to get up and dance. Gifted singer shave the power to affect us in many ways— emotionally, physically and mentally.But becoming a great singer isn’t as easy as listening to one. It takes practice, devotion and strong lungs! Just ask the well-known American opera star Carol Vaness.At the Metropolitan Opera in New York City where she often sings, Carol’s voice must be loud enough to be heard by four thousand people. It must reach every person in the theater, without a microphone, even when she’s singing softly. The reason Carol can project her voice that far is the way she breathes.“When you breathe, it’s like a swimmer taking a deep breath before going under water,”Carol explains. “You have to take a lot of air into your lungs. ”According to Carol, the main difference between pop singing and opera is “how you breathe, how much air you take in, and how you control it coming out. Regular singing is more like speaking, and it’s a lot softer. When I sing for children, they’re often surprised by how the vibrations strike their ears—like waves on a beach,” Carol says. “In opera, the air doesn’t just go out of your mouth —it vibrates in your chest, the way a guitar vibrates when it’s played.”Ever since she started piano lessons at the age often, Carol has loved music. As she got older, she decided to become a music teacher. When she went to college, she took singing lessons as part of her studies. Her voice teacher discovered that nineteen-year-old Carol had an exceptionally beautiful soprano voice—the highest singing voice for women.Carol decided to make opera her goal, not only because she loved to sing but also because she loved the drama. Opera is a play in which the characters sing the words instead of speakingthem. The stories of opera can be tragic or comical. They can be personal stories about two people falling in love or grand stories about kings and queens who lived long ago. As the characters in an opera sing, thee motions expressed by words and music come to life.Today, Carol performs through out the United States and Europe and she has sung for almost twenty years. But she has never forgot ten where she started singing in the first place.“Put your heart into your singing and enjoy it,” says Carol, “because singing is a great joy.That’s why I sing. In fact, that’s why everybody sings. ”56. According to the passage, the Metropolitan Opera in New York City.A. is a five-storied buildingB. can seat 4,000 peopleC. has no microphone initD. can project the singer’s voice57.

Smelly methane（沼气）gas expelled from land fill sites containing tones of rotting house hold waste that could be used to produce a valuable energy resource. In Europe a lone land fill tips can produce 94 billion cubic meters of methane per ear, but currently only one percent of what could be a valuable source of energy is used, the rest is burnt off to prevent an explosive build-up of gas.Methane gas forms when organic matter breaks down and is drawn off from large rubbish tips by pipes sunk into the middle of the waste. Until now this process wasn’t possible on small sites because the pipes allowed oxygen to seep（渗入）in and that stopped the break down process.Viktor Popov of the Wessex Institute of Technology has now developed a system to modify exist in gland fill sites by making them airtight while the methane is extracted from sunken wells. The site is covered by a special three-layered skin whose two outer layers are made of clay with a pressurized layer of carbon dioxide gas in the middle. As the methane is sucked out through a central well, it is replaced by carbon dioxide from the middle layer rather than oxygen, allowing the break down process to continue.Unfortunately, there are no plans to use the power of methane even though Popov claims his invention could provide a valuable source of energy over the next 20 years.61. The passage mainly introduces to us.A. a new way to make use of rubbishB. how to make methaneC. the valuable things in rubbishD. the amount of rubbish being reused62.

Oxygen can cause the break down process to stop.B. When the methane is sucked out, oxygen will enter from the middle layer.C. Carbon dioxide doesn’t affect the break down process.D. The new invention has not been put in to use.65. According to the passage, what is the public’s attitude to wards the use of methane power?A. Favorable.B. Unfavorable.C. Responsive.D.

Complete the diagram by using the information for the passage. Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each answer.American public education has changed in recent years. One change is that increasing numbers of American parents and teachers are starting independent public schools called charter schools.In 1991, there were no charter schools in the United States. Today, more than 2,300 charter schools operate in 34 states and the District of Columbia . 575,000 students attend these schools.The students are from 5 years of age through 18 or older.A charter school is created by groups of parents, teachers and community members. It is similar in some ways to a traditional public school. It receives tax money to operate number of students. The charter school must prove to local or state governments that its students are learning.These governments provide the school with the agreement, or charter that permits it to operate.Unlike a traditional public school, however, the charter school does not have to obey most laws governing public schools. Local, state or federal governments can not tell it what to teach.Each school can choose its own goals and decide the ways it wants to reach those goals. Class sizes are usually smaller than in many traditional public schools. Many students and parents say teachers in charter schools can be more creative .However, state education agencies, local education-governing committees and unions often Oppose charter schools. They say these schools may receive money badly needed by traditional public schools. Experts say some charter schools are doing well while others are struggling.Congress provided 200 million dollars for establishing charter schools in the 2006 federal budget. But, often the schools say they lack enough money for their programs. Many also lack needed space. District officials say they have provided 14 former school buildings for charter education. Yet charter school supporters say officials should try harder to find more space.Title: 71.72.74.Section B（10分）Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit.I was shopping in the supermarket when I heard a young voice boom from across the aisle.“Mom, come here! There’s this lady here my size!”The mother rushed to a boy she called Mickey; then she turned to me to apologize.I smiled and told her, “It’s okay.” Then I talked to the boy, “Hi, Mickey, I’m Darry Kramer. How are you?”He studied me from head to toe, and asked, “Are you a little mommy?”“Yes, I have a son.”I answered.“Why are you so little?” he asked.“. . . It is the way I was born. ” I said. “ Some people are little. Some are tall. I’m just not going to grow any bigger. ”After about five more minutes of answering questions, I shook Mickey’s hand, and here turned to his mother.My life as a little person is filled with stories like that. I enjoy talking to children andexplaining why I look different from their parents. It has taken many years to develop my confidence to be able to do that.It takes only one glance to see my uniqueness. I stand three feet, nine inches tall. I was born an achondroplasia dwarf（侏儒）. Despite this, my parents encouraged me to do all the things the kids around me did when I was growing up. When my neighbors got two-wheel bikes, I got a two- wheel bike. When they roller-skated, I roller-skated.I didn’t realize how short I was until I started school. There, a few kids picked on me, calling me names. Then I knew. After that, I began to hate the first day of school each year. I didn’t know who was new and would stare at me as I struggled to climb the school bus stairs.As time went on, I just tried to smile and accept the fact that I was going to be noticed my whole life. I was determined to make my uniqueness an advantage rather than a disadvantage. What I lacked in height, I made up for in personality.I’m 47 now, and the stares have not diminished as I’ve grown older. People look in disbelief when they see me get out of my car off the driver’s side. During those times, I try to keep a good attitude. When people are rude, I remind myself, “Look what else I have—a great family. Nice friends. ”And it’s the children’s questions that make my life special. When I talk with children, they leave content that their questions have been answered. My hope is that in taking time with them, I will encourage them to accept their peers whatever size and shape they come in, and treat them with respect.81.
