Born in Sweden in 1926 , Kamprad was a natural businessman. As a child , he enjoyed selling things and made small profits from selling matches ,seeds ,and pencils in his community .When Kamprad was 17, his father gave him some money as a reward for his good grades .Naturally he used it to start up a business-IKEA.2 IKEA's name comes from Kamprad's initials (I.K.)and the place where he grew up (`E` and `A`). Today IKEA is known for its modern , minimalist furniture , but it was not a furniture company in the beginning .Rather, IKEA sold all kind of miscellaneous goods ,Kamprad's ware included anything that he could sell for profits at discounted prices ,including watches ,pens and stockings .3 IKEA first began to sell furniture through a mail-order catalogue in 1947. The furniture was all designed and made by manufacturers near Kamprad's home. Initial sales were very encouraging , so Kamprad expanded the product line . Furniture was such a successful aspect of the business that IKEA became solely a furniture company in 1951.4 In 1953 IKEA opend its first showroom in Almhult ,Sweden. IKEA is known today for its spacious stores with furniture in attractive settings ,but in the early 1950s ,people ordered from catalogues ,Thus response to the first showroom was overwhelming:people loved being able to see and try the furniture before buying it . This led to increased sales and the company continued to thrive .By 1955, IKEA was designing all its own furniture .5 In 1956 Kamprad saw a man disassembling a table to make it easier to transport . Kamprad was inspired .The man had given him a great idea :flat packaging . Flat packaging would mean lower shipping costs for IKEA and lower prices for customers .IKEA tried it and sales soared . The problem was thatof self-sufficiency .This image has done wonders for the company ,leading to better sales and continued expansion.6 Today there are over 200 stores in 32 countries .Amazingly ,Ingvar Kamprad has managed to keep IKEA a privately-help company .In 2004 he was named the world's richest man , He currently lives in Switzerland and is retied from the day-to-day operations of IKEA. IKEA itself , though ,just keeps on growing.1. Paragraph 2 ____.C. The origin of IKEA2. Paragraph 3 ____.D. Specialization in selling furniture3. Paragraph 4 ____.B.

"Running a house is lot like running a business." says Stephanie Denton, a professional organizer based in Cincinnati, Ohio, who specializes in both residential and commercial paperwork and record keeping. To get a successful grip on organizing documents, bills, and other materials, Denton suggests the following tips:2. Create a space in which you can always do your paperwork. This is perhaps the most important element of a successful system. If you can't devote an entire desk to the task, at least invest in a rolling file cart to store active paperwork and a two-drawer file cabinet for family records. Store the rolling file cart wherever it is most convenient and comfortable to do your work. whether that is the kitchen, office, or family room.3. When in doubt, throw it out, the first step to implementing a workable filling system is to eliminate paper you don't use, don't need, or that you could easily access again elsewhere. Throw out duplicate statements, old catalogs, and all of the coupons, mailings, or offerings you'll never have an opportunity to use or even read.4. Set aside two days a month to pay bills, if a monthly due date doesn't fit into your cycle, call up the creditor and suggesta more convenient date, keep two manila folders at the front of your system for current bills —one to correspond with each bill-paying day — and file all incoming bills. Keep a list in the front of each folder of what needs to be paid in case the invoice never arrives or gets misplaces.5. Think of your filling system not as a rigid tool, but as a living, breathing system that can accommodate your changing needs.A good filling system is both mentally and physically flexible, everyone's needs are different, says Denton, but when devising a filling system, ask yourself: "Where would I look for this?" Create main headings for your filling system, such as investments, Taxes, Children, and so forth, and file individual folders under the main headings. Never overstuff your files.练习：1. Paragraph 2 ______A. Find a Place to Work on2. Paragraph 3 __________E. Get Rid of Unimportant Things3. Paragraph 4 __________F. Dealing With Bills4. Paragraph 5 __________C. What Is a Good Filing System5. Stephanie Denton is expert __________B. in paper chase6. You can put your file cart anywhere you like, on condition _____C. that it is easily reached7. Coupons should be thrown away because ________A. they are useless8. "Mentally flexible" indicates the fact ____________D. that different people have different requirements第三篇English and English Community1. There is no denying that English is a useful language. The people who speak English today make up the largest speech community in the world with the exception of speakers of Chinese. Originally they were small tribes of people from northern Europe who settled in England. Their languages became more and more similar to each other. Finally, the language had enough uniformity to be used by all speakers in England. The people were united into a speech community through their shared language.2. A speech community is similar to other kinds of communities. The people who make up the community share common language. Often they live side by side, as they do in a neighborhood, a village, or a city. More often they form a whole country. National boundaries, however, are not always the same as the boundaries of a speech community. A speech community is any group of people who speak the same language no matter where they happen to live.3. We may say that anyone who speaks English belongs to the English speech community. For convenience, we may classify the speakers into two groups : one in which the speakers use English as their native language, the other in which the speakers learn English as a second language for the purpose of education, commerce, and so on.4. English serves as an alternative language in several areas of public activity for the many nations of the world which employ it as an international second language. English has been adopted as the language of air traffic, commerce, as well as international diplomacy. Moreover, English is the language of the majority of published materials in the world so that education has come to rely heavily on an understanding of English.5. Learning second language extends one’s vision and expands the mind. The history and literature of a second language record the real and fictional lives of people and their culture; a knowledge of them adds to our ability to understand and to feel as they feel. Learning English as a second language provides another练习：1.Paragraph 2 ______F. The Definition of a Speech Community2.Paragraph 3 ______D. The Composition of the English Community3.Paragraph 4 ______A. The Wide Use of English4.Paragraph 5 ______C. The Advantages of Learning a Second Language5.Only through the shared language_____B. can a speech community be formed6. The idea of the national boundaries is often different from_____A. that of a speech community7. Speakers are classified into two groups____D. for the sake of simplicity8. An understanding of English____E. has played an important role in the field of education第四篇：Alaska1 In 1959 Americans welcomed Alaska into the Union as the 49th state1, symbolizing a change of attitude from that held in 1867, when the peninsula was purchased from Russia. Then, most Americans had little interest in 1 ,500 ,000 square kilometers "of icebergs and polar bears‖一beyond Canada's western borders, far from the settled areas2 of the United States.2 In those sections of the state which lie above the Arctic Circle, Alaska still is a land of icebergs and polar bears. Ice masses lie buried in the earth3, which is pennanently frozen to a depth of 90 or more meters. From early May until early August, the midnight sun never sets on this flat, treeless region, but the sun cannot melt the icy soil more than two-thirds of a meter down.3 Alaska is America's largest state, but only about 325,000 people live there. According to estimates, 800,000 hectares of its land area are fit for plowing but only about 640,000 hectares are being cultivated.4 Arctic AJsi, icsi has been the home of Eskimos for countless centuries. It is believed that the Eskimos moved there from Mongolia or Siberia, probably crossing Bering Strait4, named for Vitus Bering, the Danish sea captain who discovered Alaska on his voyage for Russia in 1741.The Eskimos are the state's earliest known inhabitants5. Russian fur traders established settlements but, by the time Alaska was sold to the United States, most of the traders had departed.5 In 1896 gold was discovered near the Kiondike River in Canada just across the Alaskan border. Thousands of Americans rushed to the region on their way to Klondike; some never returned. Alaska was never completely cut off again, although even today transportation is a major problem. There are only two motor routes from the US mainland, and within the state, every town has its own airfield. Planes fly passengers, mail and freight to the most distant villages.6 The gold that changed life so suddenly for Alaska was soon ended, and although many stories about mining camps have become part of American literature, the gold from Alaskan earth contributed less to economic progress than the fish from Alaskan waters. The fish caught in a single year range in value from $80 million to $90 million. Fur-bearing animals are plentiful in the forests and streams, and valuable fur seals inhabit the waters. After fishing, the state's chief industry is lumber and the production of wood pulp. In recent years, Alaska's single most important resource has become oil. The state also has large deposits of coal, copper, gold and other minerals.1. Paragraph 3______F）Land and population2. Paragraph 4______ D）The natives of the land3. Paragraph 5_______C）Transportation problem4. Paragraph 6_______ A）Rich resources of the state5. For as long as three months of a year，the sun ___D. shines day and night_____ on the ice-covered land of Alaska.6. According to statistics，____E. only a very small percentage_____ of the total area of Alaska has been used for farming.7. Alaska was originally part of Russia，but was bought ___C. by the United States in the 19th century____.8. Gold did not bring to Alaska as much wealth____ A. as fish does______第五篇US Signs Global Tobacco Treaty1 The United States has taken the first step toward approving a global tobacco treaty that promises to help control the deadly effects of tobacco use throughout the world1 • Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy Thomps on signed the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) this week at the United Nations. The Senate must still approve the treaty before the US can implement its provisions.2 The FCTC was developed by the World Health Organization and approved by members of the World Health Assembly，including the United States，last year. Countries that ratify it would be required to enact strict tobacco control policies.3 For instance, cigarettes sold in those countries would have to have health warnings on at least 30% of the front and back of every pack3. The treaty calls for higher tobacco taxes, restrictions on smoking in public places, and more promotion of tobacco prevention and cessation programs. It also requires bans on tobacco advertising, though there are some exceptions for countries like the United States, where the Constitution prohibits such an outright ban.4 The impact of the treaty could be huge. The World Health Organization estimates that tobacco use kills nearly5 million people worldwide every year. In the US alone, about 440,000 people die each year from tobacco-related illnesses ；about one-third of all cancers in the US are caused by tobacco use. If current trends continue, WHO estimates, by 2025 tobacco will kill 10 million people each year.5 The treaty must be ratified by at least 40 countries before it can take effect. So far，109 countries have signed it, and 12 have ratified it.练习：1. Paragraph 2____B US Signing of the FCTC__2. Paragraph 3____D How the FCTC Came into Bejing3. Paragraph 4____A. What the FCTC Demands_4. Paragraph 5____E What the FCTC Will Bring about6. Countries that ratify the FCTC will have to, among other things, ____D restrict smoking in public places______.7. It is hoped that the FCTC will greatly help to reduce deaths_______E caused by tobacco usd8. Much more countries have signed the FCTC than those that______A have ratified it____.第四部分阅读理解第一篇Telling Tales about PeopleOne of the most common types of nonfiction, and one that many people enjoy reading, is stories about people's lives. These stories fall into three general categories: autobiography, memoir, and biography.Biographies are factual accounts of someone else's life. In many senses，these may be the hardest of the three types to write. Autobiography writers know the events they write about because they lived them. But biography writers have to gather information from as many different sources as possible. Then they have to decide which facts to include. Their goal is to present a balanced picture of a person，not one that is overly positive or too critical. A fair well-presented biography may take years to research and write.练习：1. This passage is mostly about ___A. the characteristics of autobiographies，memoirs，and biographies2. Helen Keller wrote_____ B. an autobiography3. Autobiography writers are not always objective because they_____C. want to present themselves in a good light___.4. The writer introduces each category in the passage by___A. defining it5. Diverse means____C. varied or different第二篇outside-the-classroom Learning Makes a Big Difference(C级) 综合Putting a bunch of college students in charge of a $300,000 Dance Marathon, fundraiser surely sounds a bit risky.

He looked down and was terrified to see a great white shark biting the front of his board. “I could have touched its eye with my elbo w,” says Craig. The shark had surfaced so quietly that he hadn't heard a thing.Shark researchers like Martin hypothesize that great whites are actually curious animals that like to investigate things. It's possible that they use their bite not only to kill and eat, but also to gather information. Although such an experience is unlucky for people like Craig Rogers, when sharks bite surfboards or other objects or people，they are likely just trying to learn what they are.练习：1. After Craig Rogers fell into the water, the shark______C) swam away___.2. It is difficult for the author to understand why great whites_____A) often let humans escape____.3. Which of the following is closest in meaning to make up in line 2 of paragraph 4? B) are.4. The word their in line 2 of paragraph 4 means____B) great whites'_____.5. What is the main idea of the fourth paragraph? C) We now know great whites don't mistake humans for other animals.第四篇Feast On Turkey and Good Wishes at ThanksgivingFour weeks ago US children dressed as monsters and asked for sweets．That wasMany countries celebrate Thanksgiving．They often fall after the fields have been harvested and the crops collected for winter．1.

Fortunately, he consented and wrote a book that has been translated into numerous languages, allowing people everywhere to read about his unparalleled journeys.练习：1.
