But it seems that four out of five young people now get on with their parents, which is the___41___ of the popularly-held image of unhappy teenagers locked in their room after___42___ family quarrels.An important new study into teenage attitudes___43___ shows that their family life is more harmonious than it has ever been in the past. “We were surprised by just how positive today’s young people seem to be about their families,” said one member of the research team. “They’re expected to be rebellious and selfish but___44___ they have other things on their minds; they want a car and material goods, and they worry about whether school is serving them well. There’s more negotiation and discussion between parents and children, and children expect to take part in the family decision-making___45___ . They don’t want to rock the boat.”So it seems that this generation of parents is much more likely than parents of 30 years ago to treat their children as friends. Maybe this ___46___ view of family life should not be unexpected. It is possible that the idea of teenage ___47___ is not rooted in real facts. A rese archer comments, “Our surprise that teenagers say they get along well with their parents comes because of a brief period in our social history when teenagers were regarded as ___48___beings. But that idea of rebelling and breaking away from their parents___49___ only happened during that one time in the 1960s when everyone rebelled. The normal situation throughout history has been a smooth change from helping out with the family business to taking it over.”III. Reading ComprehensionSection ASometimes I really doubt whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are busy trying to earn money to cover living 50 . They don’t act in the romantic ways that I read in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, “I love you” is too luxurious for them to say. Sending flowers to each other on Valentine’s Day is even more out of the question. 51 . my father has a bad temper. When he’s very tired from hard work, it is easy for him to lose his temperOne day, my mother was sewing a quilt. I silently sat down beside her and looked at her.“Mom, I have a question to ask you,” I said after a while.“What?” she repli ed, still doing her work.“Is there 52 between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very low voice.My mother stopped her work and raised her 53 with surprise in her eyes. She didn’t answer immediately. 54 , she bowed her head and continued to sew the quilt.I was very upset because I thought I had hurt her. I looked at her in 55 and didn’t know what to do. But at last I heard my mother say gently “Susan, look at this thread. Sometimes it appears, but most of time it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong. If life is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can 56 be seen anywhere or anytime, but it’s really there. Love is 57 .I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her until the next spring, when my father suddenly got sick seriously. My mother had to stay with him in the hospital for a month. When they returned from the hospital, they both looked 58 . It seemed both of them had had a serious illness.After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother would help my father walk slowly on the country road, along which there were many beautiful flowers, green grass and trees. The sun gently shone through the leaves. All of these made up the most beautiful picture in the world.The doctor had said my father would 59 in two months. But after two months he still couldn’t walk 60 . All of us were worried about him.“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.“Susan, don’t worry about me,” he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I just like 61 with your mom. I like this kind of life.” 62 his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.63 I thought love meant flowers, gifts and sweet kisses. ___64 from this experience, I understand that love is just a thread in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.50. A. fees B. expenses C. charges D. fares51. A. Besides B. However C. Because D. Still52. A. love B. equality C. conflict D. agreement53.

Once64. A. So B. But C. Or D. ForSection B ANeil Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, has died at the age of 82. Many people paid tribute to the former astronaut. But other people feel regret that no human has been back to the moon since 1972, just three years after Armstrong landed on it and gave his famous “giant leap for mankind” speech.Elliot Pulham, Chief Executive of the Space Foundation, thinks that America’s space agency NASA should get more money, like in the 1960s, during the moon landings programme, when astronauts went to the moon. “In this age of limited goals and tiny NASA budgets, Armstrong is a reminder of what our nation was once capable of,” he said.Armstrong died because of heart problems after surgery. His recovery seemed to be going well, and his death was a surprise to many people. His family described him as a “reluctant American hero”a nd said: “Honour his example of service, and the next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink.”Speaking from the White House, Barack Obama said Armstrong was “among the great est of American heroes –not just of his time, but of all time”. He added: “And when Neil stepped on the moon for the first time, it was a moment of human achievement that will never be forgotten.”Buzz Aldrin flew with Armstrong on Apollo 11. He was the second man to walk on the moon. He said he was very sad at the death of his good friend and companion.“When I look at the moon I remember that special moment, over forty years ago, when Neil and I stood on the moon,” he said. “Looking back at our brillia nt blue planet Earth hanging in the darkness of space, I realized that even though we were farther away from Earth than two humanshad ever been, we were not alone. Almost the entire world took that memorable journey with us. I know many millions of people around the world will join me in mourning the death of a true American hero and the best pilot I ever knew. My friend Neil took the small step but giant leap that changed the world and will always be remembered as a historic moment in human history.”In the US, people felt that he represented the achievement of a past age of American greatness. Today, things are very different: NASA has cancelled a number of missions because they don’t have enough money.Former astronaut Eugene Cernan, the last man on th e moon, said: “Neil did something that people thought was impossible.” Others complained about the state of the US. Journalist Andrew Pasternak wrote: “It will take longer to rebuild lower Manhattan after 9/11 than it took to build an entire space program and send a man to the moon.”Of course, NASA has its modern successes. Its engineers have landed a nuclear-powered robot on Mars. There will also be another Mars mission. It will drill below the planet’s surface. But these achievements are not as exciting as Armstrong’s. NASA administrator Charles Bolden expressed that in his tribute. “As we enter this next era of space exploration, we are standing on the shoulders of Neil Armstrong,” he said.Armstrong was disappointed by what NASA has become. Blogger Eric Berger saw an email from Armstrong and other former astronauts. It expressed frustration at the current problems at NASA and quoted Yogi Berra, an American baseball legend: “If you don’t know where you aregoing, you might not get there.”65. Why is Nei l Armstrong’s death described as ‘a surprise to many’? Because__________.A. he was relatively youngB. it was believed he was recovering well from bypass surgeryC. he was a larger-than-life reminder of what America was once capable ofD. he was the only person to land on the moon66. Which of these sentences best describes the current situation at NASA?A. NASA is expanding its operations and plans to send more men to the moon.B. NASA has had to cancel a number of missions because of a lack of funds.C. NASA has cancelled all further space exploration missions as a result of budget cuts.D. NASA, according to the article is now on the very edge of bankrupt.67. What did Neil Armstrong almost certainly think of the current situation at NASA?A. He was very disappointed.B. He was very angry.C. He was excited.D. He was quite depressed.68. How, according to Buzz Aldrin, will Armstrong’s ‘giant leap’ be remembered?A. as a historic moment that changed the worldB. as a memorable journey with the whole world watchingC. as a representation of the achievements of a past ageD. as a story that can not be repeated for human beingB8 Ways to Avoid Cancer in Your Life1. Eat BlueberriesAside from being a healthy and delicious snack, blueberries contain pterostilbene, which has important colon（结肠）cancer-fighting prosperities. But wait, it gets better. Blueberries also offer a large dose of vitamins C (14 milligrams per cup). So at breakfast, try to take in a cup and a half of blueberries in your cereal or yogurt, or mixed with other berries.2. Drink Pomegranate（石榴）JuiceThe deep red juice of the pomegranate contains polyphenols, isoflavones and ellagic acid, which together create a powerful anticancer mixture. Most recently, researchers from the University of Wisconsin at Madison has discovered that 16 ounces of pomegranate juice per day also may inhibit the growth of lung cancer.3. RelaxFeeling stressed or worried? Find ways to relax and you may reduce your chances of developing cancer. Purdue University researchers tracked 1,600 men over 12 years and found that half of those with high levels of worry died during the study period. Only 20 percent of the optimists died beforethe study were completed, while 34 percent of the extremely anxious men died of some type of cancer. Instead of stressing about the past or future, focus on the present and relax!4. Take Selenium（硒）Selenium is well known for its cancer-fighting properties. In a study of almost 1,000 men, researchers from the Journal of the National Cancer Institute found that when men with the lowest initial levels of selenium in their bodies received a daily supplement over a 4 year period, they cut their prostate（前列腺）cancer risk by a remarkable 92 percent. However, it is possible to get too much of a good thing, so monitor your intake of selenium-containing supplements, Brazil nuts, tuna, meats and grains carefully.5. Eat Sushi（寿司）Seaweed may not be your idea of a great snack, but it is high in fiber, calcium and iron, and dry, roasted seaweed sheets used in sushi provide the additional benefits of vitamins A and C. Sushi rolls are also high in protein— a typical spicy tuna roll has only 290 calories but packs 24 grams of protein. So don’t skimp（节省）on the Sushi!6. Enjoy the OutdoorsVitamin D causes early death of cancer cells. A study published in the American Journey of Clinical Nutrition reported that women who supplemented their diets with 1,000 international. Units of vitamin D every day had a 60 percent to 77 percent lower incidence of cancer ever a four-year period that did women taking a placebo(无效对照剂). Experts recommend supplementing your fun in the sun with 1,100 to 2,000IU of vitamin D each day.7. Breathe Clean AirThere’s no question that secondhand smoke kills. A recent American Journal of Public Health study showed that nonsmokers working in smoky places had three times the amount of carcinogen（致癌物质）in their urine（尿）than nonsmokers working in smoke-free locations. What’s worse, their levels of the carcinogen rose 6 percent for every hour worked. Nine states have banned smoking in all workplaces, bars and restaurants. The message is clear: Do whatever you can to avoid the cloud of smoke.8. Break a SweatEven a small amount of exercise can offer major cancer-fighting benefits. In a study of 29,110 men published in the International Journal of Cancer, men who exercised just once a week had a percent lower risk of metastasis(转移性) prostate cancer than men who didn’t work out at all. The better the frequency, duration and intensity of the exercise, the bigger the reduction in risk, according to the study.69. To prevent yourself from catching colon cancer, you should eat ____ as often as possible.A. sushiB. blueberriesC. pomegranatesD. Vitamin D70. A person is very likely to catch some type of cancer if ______.A. he is very fond of exercise every day.B. he is addicted to smokingC. he is always feeling extremely stressed or worriedD. he likes to have meals in restaurants71. _____ will remarkably reduce the risk of men’s prostate cancer.A. Having a daily supplement of seleniumB. Drinking a cup of pomegranate juice every dayC. Breathing fresh air now and thenD. Taking exercise at least once a weekCA bout this time every year, I get very nostalgic (怀旧的). Walking through my neighborhood on a fall afternoon reminds me of a time not too long ago when sounds of children filled the air, childrenplaying games on a hill, and throwing leaves around in the street below. I was one of those children, carefree and happy. I live on a street that is only one block long. I have lived on the same street for sixteen years. I love my street. One side has six houses on it, and the other has only two houses, with a small hill in the middle and a huge cottonwood tree on one end. When I think of home, I think of my street. Only I see it as it was before. Unfortunately things change. One day, not long ago, I looked around and saw how different everything has become. Life on my street will never be the same because neighbors are quickly grown old, friends are growing up and leaving, and the city is planning to destroy my precious hill and sell the property to contractors.It is hard for me to accept that many of my won derful neighbors are growing old and won’t be around much longer. I have fond memories of the couple across the street, who sat together on their porch swing almost every evening, the widow next door who yelled at my brother and me for being too loud, and the crazy old man in a black suit who drove an old car. In contrast to those people, the people I see today are very old neighbors who have seen better days. The man in the black suit says he wants to die, and another neighbor just sold his house and moved into a nursing home. The lady who used to yell at us is too tired to bother any more, and the couple across the street rarely go out to their front porch these days. It is difficult to watch these precious people as they near the end of their lives because at once I thought they would live forever.The “comings and goings” of the younger generation of my street are now mostly “goings” as friends and peers move on. Once upon a time, my life and the lives of my peers revolved around home. The boundary of our world was the gutter at the end of the street. We got pleasure from playing night games or from a breathtaking ride on a tricycle. Things are different now, as my friends become adults and move on. Children who rode tricycles now drive cars. The kids who once played with me now have new interests and values as they go their separate ways. Some have gone away to college like me, a few got married, two went into the army, and one went to prison. Watching all these people grow up and go away makes me long for the good old days.Perhaps the biggest change on my street is the fact that the city is going to turn my precious hill into several lots for new homes. For sixteen years, the view out of my kitchen window has been a view of that hill. The hill was a fundamental part of my childhood life; it was the hub of social activity for the children of my street. We spent hours there building forts, sledding, and playing tag. The view out of my kitchen window now is very different; it is one of tractors and dump trucks tearing up the hill. When the hill goes, the neighborhood will not be the same. It is a piece of my childhood. It is a visual reminder of being a kid. Without the hill, my street will be just another pea in the pod.There was a time when my street was my world, and I thought my world would never change. But something happened. People grow up, and people grow old. Places changes, and with the change comes the heartache of knowing I can never go back to the times I loved. In a year or so, I will be gone just like many of my neighbors. I will always look back to my years as a child, but the place I remember will not be the silent street whose peace is interrupted by the sounds of construction. It will be the happy, noisy, somewhat strange, but wonderful street I knew as a child.72. The writer finds it hard to accept the fact that _____________.A. many of his good neighbors are growing oldB. the lady next door who used to yell at him and his brother is now a widowC. the life of his neighbors has become very boringD. the man in his black suit even wanted to end his own life73. The writer thinks of the past all the more when he sees those who had grown up with him_______.A. continue to consider home to be the center of their livesB. leave the neighborhood they grew up inC. still enjoy playing card games in the eveningsD. develop new interests and have new dreams74. What does the writer mean by saying “my street will be another pea in the pod”?A. his street will be very noisy and dirtyB. his street will soon be crowded with peopleC. his street will have some new attractionsD. his street will be no different from any other street75. Which could be a good title for the passage?A. The Past of My Street will Live ForeverB. Unforgettable People and Things of My StreetC. My Old Street In My Minds Isn’t What It Used to BeD. The Big Changes of My StreetSection C76.With the arrival of the age of “information economy”, i ntellectual work is becoming a more important source of wealth than manufacturing. Organizations in all walks of life are doing more to spread their information. So people of the Public Relations are hired to speak for them. A lot of our news is actually collected from press releases and reports of events intentionally staged for journalists. In the information age, journalists spend their time, not investigating, but passing on the words of a spokesperson.77.There is a joke in the novel Scoop ab out the newspaper’s owner, Lord Copper. The editors can never disagree with him. When he’s right about something they answer “definitely”, and when he’s wrong they say “to some extent, Lord Copper.” It seems reasonable to suppose that, in the real world, the opinions of such powerful people still influence the journalists and editors who work for them. 78.In countries where the news is not officially controlled, it is likely to be provided by commercial organizations who depend on advertising. The news has to attract viewers and maintain its audience ratings. I suspect that some stories get air-time just because there happen to be exciting pictures to show. In Britain, we have the tabloid newspapers which millions of people read simply for entertainment. There is progressively less room for historical background, or statistics, which are harder to present as a sensational story.79.There is an argument that with spreading access to the internet and cheap technology for recording sound and images we will all be able to find exactly the information we want. People aroundthe world will be able to publish their own eye-witness accounts and compete with the widely-accepted news-gatherers on equal terms. But what it will mean also is that we’ll be s ubjected to a still greater amount of nonsense and lies. Any web log may contain the latest information of the year, or equally, a made-up story that you will never be able to check.80.Maybe the time has come to do something about it, and I don’t just mean changing your choice of TV channel or newspaper. In a world where everyone wants you to listen to their version, you only have two choices: switch off altogether or start looking for sources you can trust. The investigative journalist of the future is everyone who wants to know the truth.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in No More Than 10 Words:The iPhone, the iPad, each of Apple’s products sounds cool and has become a fad(一时的风尚). Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i” – and many other brands are following suit. The BBC’s iPlayer – which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet –adopted the title in 2008. A lovely bear –popular in the US and UK –that plays music and video is called “iTeddy”. A slimmed-down version of London’s Independent newspaper was launched last week under the name “i”.In general, single-letter prefixes (前缀) have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use.Most “i” products are targeted at young people and considering the major readers of Independent’s “i”, it’s no surprise that they’ve selected this fashionable name.But it’s hard to see what’s so special about the letter “i”. Why not use “a”, “b”, or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at King’s College, London, “i” works because its meaning has become ambiguous. When Apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, individual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didn’t have one clear definition,” he says.“However, thanks to Apple, the term is now associated with portability.”adds Thorne.Clearly the letter “i” a lso agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason.Along with “Google” and “blog”, readers of BBC Magazines voted “i” as one of t he top 20 words that have come to define the last decade.But as history shows, people grow tired of fads. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was associated with all things advanced and modern. However, as we entered the new century, the trend inevitably disappeared.81. We can infer that the Independent’s “i” is aimed at __________.82. What does the word “ambiguous” in paragraph 4 means “__________”.83. Nowadays, the “i” term often reminds peopl e of the products which are __________.84. What is the suggestion the writer made in the last paragraph?。

It is a life 18 with questioning beliefs, taking chances, and a relentless desire to achieve a personal goal while battling a plague of 19 and world problems. This longing for a life that is fulfilling and worthwhile can 20 a tremendous amount of stress. The information overload of today has also led us to believe that we need to have it all while being dolled up 21.It's evident that when we peer into the world created, suddenly the dreamed colors seem faded because every time we look around, there are new problems that need to be addressed, and everyone seems content just 22 at the sidelines waiting for a man to come and save them. Everything 23 pretty, but from within, there is a lot of discontentment that everyone is so conveniently 24 under the flashy covering.18. A) filled B) entered C) approached D) faced19.

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. Then mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 1 with a single line through the center.Passage OneIf you've ever dreamed of being a music star but didn't know where to start, there's an online game that will whistle you a few tips. The game is called "Celebrities," and instead of shooting, stabbing (刺), or punching anything, you spend your not-so-hard-earned dollars on things that stars 25 on---homes, cars, gadgets, and purely selfless charities. The game, which debuted in December last year, was one of the first ones to show you can literally buy your way to numero uno in the world of celebrityhood. And it was also one of the first times actors from a top TV show lent their names and images to a video game.25. According to the passage, what can players buy in the game "Celebrities"?A) Violence. B) Recognition. C) Honor. D) Materialism.Passage TwoThe Grinning Ghost is a sad tale of a man who agreed to sit in a haunted room for the night, and never returned.

Cloze Test (15%)While some of the best professional big-wave surfers in the world looked out over 40-foot waves crashing onto the shores of Oahu’s Waimea Bay, the __50__ seemed disappointingly clear. The Quicksilver Invitation surfing competition had to be __51__. The waves were just too big.But on that same late-January day, relatively unknown big-wave rider Greg Russ had to be physically __52__ by lifeguards from launching out into the biggest surf in more than a decade. The guards were interfering with his right to make __53__, he said.The incentive: $50,000 from the surf-equipment manufacturer K2 to anyone who can ride the biggest wave of the year and get it __54__.From ice climbing to mountain biking to big-wave surfing, more people are becoming extreme athletes, putting their lives in danger for the __55__ thrill. But the K2 contest, and the growing popularity of extreme sports worldwide, has ___56___ questions about the financial and human consequence for athletes and rescuers who watch over them. For many, the incident at Waimea perfectly __57__ the dangers unleashed when big money, big egos, and big challenges are mixed. Although exact figures on how many extreme athletes exist are hard to come by, isolated statistical evidence __58__ a rapid increase. For example, the number of climbers __59__ to climb Alaska’s 20,300-foot Mt. McKinley ---the tallest peak in North America---increased from 695 in 1984 to 1100 in 1997.“It’s a numbers deal, and clearly there are more people getting hurt than there were when I started doing__60__ 20 years ago,” says Dan Burnett, a mission coordinator with the all-volunteer Summit County Search and Rescue Group in Colorado. “We’re responding in areas now that even four years ago I would have thought we didn’t need to check because __61__goes there.”Some efforts have been made toward creating a(n) __62__ extreme-sports world.

Green Hat is based on a famous novel acted by some American artists.C. Top Acrobatic artists will present their performances around our country.D. The Beijing Peking Opera Troupe will give two performances with the same excerpts.(B)Australian scientists are trying to give kangaroo-style stomachs to cattle and sleep in order to cut the greenhouse gases they send out, which is thought to be responsible for global warming.Thanks to special bacteria in their stomachs, kangaroo flatulence (胃肠气胀) contains no methane (甲烷) and scientists want to transfer that bacteria to cattle and sheep who produce large quantities of the harmful gas.While the usual image of greenhouse gas pollution is a billowing smokestack (烟囱) pushing out carbon dioxide, farm animals' passing wind contribute a surprisingly high percentage of total emissions in some countries."Fourteen percent of emissions from all sources in Australia is from enteric methane from cattle and sheep," said Athol Klieve, a senior research scientist with the Queensland state government."And if you look at another country such as New Zealand, which has got a much higher agricultural base, they're actually up around 50 percent," he said.Researchers say the bacteria also makes the digestive process much more efficient and could potentially save millions of dollars in feed costs for farmers.But it will take researchers at least three years to isolate the bacteria, before they can even start to develop a way of transferring it to cattle and sheep.Another group of scientists, meanwhile, has suggested Australians should farm fewer cattle and sheep and just eat more kangaroos. And about 20 percent of health-conscious Australians are believed to eat the national symbol already."It's low in fat, it's got high protein levels and it's very clean in the sense that basically it's the free-range animal," said Peter Ampt of the University of New South Wales's institute of environmental studies.68. Scientists intend to put bacteria into cattle and sheep________.A. to prevent them from sending out harmful gasesB. to help Australian farmers to earn more moneyC. so that they can protect Australian ecosystemD. so that they can make full use of special bacteria69. Athol Klieve seems to believe that ________.A. cattle and sheep produce more carbon dioxideB. less cattle and sheep are raised in New ZealandC. farm animals are to blame for greenhouse gasesD. New Zealand has the most animals in the world70. The main idea of the text is to _____.A. discuss a better way to protect the eachB. warn farmers of the danger of animal wasteC. illustrate the possible solutions to pollutionD. present a recent study on global warming71. Which is NOT one of the advantages that Peter Ampt lists about kangaroos?A. it is rich in proteinB. it is low in fatC. it is cheaper than beefD. it is cleaner than sheep(C)When in doubt, cut that out! Yeah, yea, Doubting Thomas may have had a point in his day, and life may not be what you want it to be, but if you constantly doubt yourself, how can you accomplish anything?Where is your confidence? What possible good can come from taking the negative aspect of any situation and growing it into acceptance?Purpose of achievement is to attain a goal. So, if you set your goals and strive to get there, it should be assumed that you are moving toward your goal no matter what you are doing, right? When watching a football game, one of those great high school starter games, set to determine who starts when the real games begin, I noticed the coach called “defense” only when the team was “protecting” their goal. As long as the team was fighting for mo re ground they played “offense (进攻)”. Along the same lines, I’ve heard the phrase, “a strong defense requires a good offense.” Simply put, if you concentrate more on gaining ground than on protecting your goals, your accomplishments will be greater. Time spent protecting your goals is wasted time, when you could be working toward attaining your goals rather than preventing others from reaching their goal.In business, if you waste your time focusing on what your competitor is doing rather than working toward meeting your goals, you won’t get very far.Focus your attention on where you’re going. Don’t waste time worrying about where your competition is. You will gain ground while they are watching you. Smile as you reach your destination.72. The writer of the passage intends to tell us ________.A. a common rule in a football gameB. how to beat our competitorsC. how to overcome our doubts and achieve our goalsD. how to deal with doubt in our business7236. The author’s purpose of mentioning Doubting Thomas in the first paragraph is to ________.A. show that famous people change our lifeB. tell us to succeed we should not doubt ourselvesC. ask us to learn from successful peopleD. tell us it’s quite natural for people to doubt themselves74. The author suggests that in business we should ________.A. avoid too much competitionB. seek as much cooperation as possibleC. focus on our own goalsD. know our competitors as well as ourselves75. The passage is intended for ________.A. football playersB. coachesC. businessmenD. common readers76. ________ Freelance (自由职业者) is a word that goes back to medieval (中古世纪的) times when it was used to describe soldiers who sold their skills to those prepared to pay their market rate. Today it’s an increasingly common way of working for people in a range of occupations and appeals to many who feel constrained by corporate culture.77. ________ What you gain is freedom of movement; what you can lose is a sense of belonging. You can end up feeling isolated from normal support networks, because suddenly you are responsible for your own welfare, training, safety, career development, equipment, professional updating and a thousand other things, it is easy to remain unaware of these things in the relatively cosseted existence of full-time employment. So before you leap up into this exciting and potentially rewarding way of working, stand back and take a look at the risks.78. ________ Freelancing has always been a common way of working for writers, artists and performers, but the range of occupations with a substantial number of freelancers is growing steadily. Anyone with a marketable skill can choose to go it alone. Websites offer a free directory listing for those with skills to sell. Their categories include accountants, healthcare consultants, landscape architects and computer trainers. Areas of work that have problems recruiting staff are always keen to employ freelancers.79. ________ Being a freelance is different from other forms of self-employment —you still work for an employer or several employers but have to develop a completely different set of relationships with them. Employers are now your customers, you are their supplier. You have to become indispensable (不可缺少的) to them, providing solutions to their problems, some of which they may not even realized they had. In many ways you have to behave like their dream employee, being more willing and available than you may have got us ed to whilst in a “proper job”.80. ________ You also have to be aware of, and sensitive to, the fact that you can be seen as a threat by your customer’s conventional employees, who may regard you as taking work they could do. Successful freelancing relies on the co-operation of everyone you come into contact with. Work that brings you into conflict with an existing workforce can be more troublesome than it’s worth.(E)A popular saying goes, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hur t me.” However, that’s not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. Itdoesn’t matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves—the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.We all talk to ourselves sometimes. We’re usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldn’t be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “Good job!”Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. Or harsh and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.Words possess power because of their lasting effect. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always go through a “ask-yourself” test: Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesn’t pass this test, then it’s better left unsaid.Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 10 WORDS.)81. As to the power of words, the author believes they can either ___________________.82. People should only speak words of encouragement to themselves to ___________________.83. What does the underlined part “give ourselves a pat on the back” mean?84. What should we do if the “ask-yourself test” is not passed?1. 这个新建的学校在市中心，交通十分便捷。

Vocabulary (10%)British scientist Isaac Newton (1643-1727) once said, “If I have seen further, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.” And this year’s Nobel Prize in chemistry may have best 21)___________ these words.This year’s prize was 22)___________ between three scientists –Frenchman Jean-Pierre Sauvage, British-born Sir J. Fraser Stoddart and Dutch scientist Bernard L. Feringa. They were awarded the prize for creating the world’s smallest machines.How small? Instead of being made of nails and bolts like 23)_________ machines, they are made of molecules. Instead of measuring in meters or centimeters, they measure in nanometers –– one billionth of a meter –– much thinner than a human hair.But this was achieved neither 24)__________, nor alone.Back in 1983, Sauvage, who is now a retired professor at the University of Strasbourg, France, started doing the research. He managed to join two ring-shaped molecules together to form a chain. The work is so hard and 25)__________that The Guardian describes it as like “building a Lego castle in the dark with boxing gloves”.If what Sauvage had done was building the body of a car, what Stoddart managed to do 10 years later in 1991 was adding wheels to the car. Stoddart, who now works at Northwestern University, US, developed a(n) 26)_________ known as “rotaxanes”, which meant that a ring of atoms could move around an axle.And just like a car, the molecular machine needs a(n) 27)________ to run. So in 1999, Feringa, of the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, became the first person to create a(n) 28)_________ molecular motor powered by electricity.But what is the use of a machine so small that we can’t even see it? According to scientists, the machines can benefit various fields like the creation of new materials and medical treatment methods.“There are 29)___________ opportunities,” Feringa told Reuters. “Think of a tiny micro-robot that a doctor in the future will inject into your blood and it will go to search for a cancer cell or 30)__________ a drug, for instance.”III. Cloze (12%)When it comes to makers of nature documentaries, ___31___ are better than French directors Jacques Perrin and Jacques Cluzaud. ___32___ the names don’t ring a bell, you might be familiar with at least one of their masterpieces –– Microcosmos, Winged Migration and Oceans.Seasons is their latest nature film. After ___33___ the micro world, the sky and the sea, this time they have turned their attention to the land that we humans live on and the animals we ___34___ this land with. Through their lenses, we get to see up-close shots of ___35___ like baby bears learning to climb trees and cute owls looking out of tree holes.In fact, this year is ___36___ a boom in nature documentaries. Now, 10 years since the highly successful Planet Earth (2006) series, the BBC is finally releasing a sequel, Planet Earth II. Oscar-winning actor and longtime environmental ___37___ Leonardo DiCaprio has also co-produced a film about climate change, Before the Flood, which is going to be released on Oct 21 in the US.Technology may be one of the reasons, since shooting a nature film used to be ___38___ and dangerous. Photographers sometimes have to wait in the wild for hours just for the ___39___ animal to show up, and they may even have to risk their lives to capture a hunting scene.Now things are getting easier.

But as a travel destination, Iceland is on top of the world.43)____________________________. As the Today website put it, “It is as if nature chose Iceland to be its shop window to … remind humanity that nature is still the unstoppable force.”As the world was reminded when the Eyjafjallajokull volcano erupted six years ago, Iceland is a country “still in the making, and few other places offer the same opportunities to see the Earth in action”, commented National Geographic magazine.Ice is Iceland’s other big attraction –– to be exact, the huge glaciers which travel toward the coast, making strange pools of water. 44)_______________________________________.On Sept 28, the country’s capital Reykjavik decided to turn off all streetlights for an hour at night to give people a unique chance to enjoy the northern lights. 45) “___________________ ”, travel guidebook publisher Lonely Planet noted.46)__________________________.

And this is true of many other scientists.However, in our daily life there are many people who often complain that they lack the ability to do things well, but as a matter of fact, what they lack most is self-confidence. So anyone, no matter what he does, should have faith in himself. Only by having the right attitude towards one’s own ability and holding up faith in himself can he have the courage to work on and finally succeed.134 words注：听力选自2005走向成功徐汇区试题。

Test for Issue 468Grammar 10%+10%The tale of Robinson Crusoe, a British sailor who gets trapped on a faraway island, _____1_____ (tell) for hundreds of years. Since British writer Daniel Defoe’s 1719 novel came out, the story has been made into numerous plays, films and TV series.But just when you think there is ____2____ more you can get from this classic adventure tale, here is yet another Robinson Crusoe film –The Wild Life by Belgium’s nWave animation studio. It’s been out in the Chinese mainland _____3____ Oct 4.The Wild Life tells the story in a quite different way. Yes, there is a guy named Robinson Crusoe who finds himself trapped on an island after a terrible storm on the sea. But that’s it. There are no cannibals, no murders and no slaves being traded.Instead, the narrator has changed from Crusoe himself to a chatty parrot named Mak. The whole story is also told from the animals’ point of view, including a chameleon, a hedgehog and a goat. They go from seeing their homeland invaded by a human to slowly ____4____ (become) friends with him.This is actually quite a smart move, _____5_____ (consider) this year’s animal fever in movies from Zootopia to The Secret Life of Pets. Even the villains in The Wild Life have been changed from dangerous local island people to a group of evil cats from a ship. Family-friendly _____6______ animals seem to make this film, this alone does not mean a story will be great. The Wild Life isn’t as in-depth as Zootopia. The animal characters _____7_____ make it hard for audiences to relate to them emotionally.“____8____ much humor, and with a very straightforward story, there isn’t a lot to hook you into the tale,” noted US film writer Katie Walsh in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. “There’s a message about accepting outsiders without judgment and _____9_____ (work) together as a team, and another message about an island life versus a civilized one, but all of it ____10____ (present) without much complication.”1 _____________ 2. _____________ 3. _____________ 4. _____________ 5. _______________ 6. ____________ 7. ______________ 8. ____________ 9. _____________ 10._______________They are the great modern designs that were built in the last century. But ___11____ a lack of proper protection, many of them have been destroyed. Luckily, some have stood the test of time.A national list of architectural masterpieces was released in Beijing on Sept 29 to remind people of _____12_____ (disappear) heritage, reported China Daily. A total of 98 unique structures have been included in the first edition of the 20th Century Chinese Architectural Heritage List.“Many of the ____13____ (include) structures have many stories to tell and have seen historical events, so they are alive,” Shan Jixiang, / head of the Chinese Society of Cultural Relics, told China Daily.Despite China’s recent efforts____14____ (protect)its traditional architecture, a lot of it has been destroyed, partly _____15_____ there is not enough public awareness.“To architects, the buildings we designed are ____16_____ daughters to us. We married off our beloved daughters only ____17_____ (find) them not being taken care of,” Ma Guoyong, an expert at the Chinese Academy of Engineering, said in an interview with Chinanews website.The new list will make people realize the importance of keeping more recent architectural sites for future generations. “When they restore them, they _____18______ be treated as cultural heritage sites rather than general construction. Otherwise, historical information ___19___ (lose),” said Sha n.“Masterpieces of the 20th century prove that Chinese architects’ spirit and skills were passed down well,” he added. “And they deserve ____20_____ (pass) on to modern times.”11. _____________ 12. ______________ 13. _____________ 14. _____________15. _________16. ____________ 17. _______________ 18. _____________ 19. ____________ 20 __________Vocabulary 10%Van Gogh was a Dutch Post painter who is among the most famous and influential ____21_____ in the history of Western art. In just over a decade he created about 2100 artworks, including around 860 oil paintings, most of them in the last two years of his life. They include landscapes, still lifes, portraits and self-portraits, and are _____22____ by bold, symbolic colors, and dramatic, impulsive and highly expressive brushwork that contributed to the foundations of modern art. He sold only one painting during his lifetime and became famous after his suicide at age 37, which ____23____ years of poverty and mental illness.On Sept 30, two Van Gogh paintings – Seascape at Scheveningen (1882) and Congregation Leaving the Reformed Church in Nuenen (1884–1885) – that were stolen in 2002 from the Van Gogh Museum in the Netherlands were ____24_____ in Italy after 14 years.Both of the paintings were found without their frames, but seemed to be in good condition despite their long journey, according to the Van Gogh Museum.The paintings, ____25____ to be worth a total of €100 million (749.74 million yuan), aren’t among Van Gogh’s most famous. But the importance of the works comes from the ___26____ he painted.Seascape at Scheveningen is one of the only two seascapes that the Dutch post-impressionist painted during his years in the city of The Hague. It shows a boat sailing into a stormy sea. The thick paint “is a beautiful example of Van Gogh’s early style of painting, already showing his special ______27______”, the museum _____28______.Congregation Leaving the Reformed Church in Nuenen is a small work of art that Van Gogh painted for his mother in early 1884. It shows the church of the Reformed Church community in Nuenen, where Van Gogh’s father was a priest. In 1885, after his father’s de ath, Van Gogh changed the painting and added the people in the foreground, among them a few women in black shawls that are worn when loved ones have died. This may be a ____29____ to his father’s death.“The strong connections to his own life make this a w ork of great _____30______ value,” the Van Gogh Museum commented.Cloze 12%Small talk –the likes of “What do you have there? Popcorn?” or “The weather today is beautiful, isn’t it?” – is meaningless and a waste of time, according to some people. But scientists believe that it is actually more useful than it _____31______ to be.One example comes when you are on a train or a plane. The thought of talking to the stranger sitting beside you ____32____ be scary, because you know the conversation is sure to be ____33______. But a study by the University of Chicago in the US found that people who chat to strangers enjoy a better ride than those who sit _____34_____ or bury themselves in their phones.In the study, researchers asked real-life people at Chicago train stations to start conversations with ______35______ travelers. Most of them refused to do so at first because they _____36_____ get a friendly answer. But the result turned out to be just the opposite –most strangers were not only willing to be talked to, but also pleasant to talk to.“Human beings are social animals,” Nicholas Epley, one of the lead researchers, told Live Science. “Other people are people, too. And it turns out that they’d like to get to know you.”______37______ making you happier, small talk with strangers can also help you feel connected to your surroundings. Previous studies found that when people are frequently smiled at, made eye contact with and spoken to at coffee shops, they ______38______ have a stronger sense of belonging instead of feeling like they are being ignored and left out.And if you are already _____39______ enough to make small talk with strangers, you should try to develop it into something “bigger”.A 2010 study proved that having a deep and meaningful conversation gives you even more ______40_____ than small talk. Participants in the study – 79 college students – reported after the four-day experiment that they were much happier when they had a third as much small talk and twice as many in-depth conversations.But deep conversations can start with small talk, can’t they? So the first step is to start talking, no matter how _____41_____ the topic is. And who knows, maybe an opening line as simple as “I like your hat” could lead to a serious conversation _____42______ you learn something new from a stranger.Reading 8%Do you know who Stefani Germanotta is? Perhaps not, but you almost certainly know the pop star Lady Gaga, who has become wildly popular in the US and all over the world.The 30-year-old is famous for her cutting-edge pop videos and strange fashion sense. _________43________ She is going to perform at the Super Bowl 51 halftime show, the yearly championship game of the National Football League, the highest level of professional American football in the world. Her performance will take place on Feb 5, 2017.The singer confirmed the reports on her Twitter account on Sept 29, writing that she’ll bethere for sure. “It’s not an illusion. The rumors are true. This year the SUPER BOWL goes GAGA!” she wrote.With an audience of about 100 mi llion viewers, the show will follow Lady Gaga’s return to pop. _________44_________ She released duets album Cheek to Cheek with Tony Bennett, an experienced US singer, and won a Golden Globe as an actress on American Horror Story: Hotel._________45________On Sept 9, she released a new high-energy song called Perfect Illusion. She has said that the lyrics of Perfect Illusion describe social media. “There are also a lot of things on the internet that are not reality. And I think people are pressured to keep that personal illusion going on in their real lives.” Gaga said.Perfect Illusion is the first single from her fourth solo album Joanne, which will be released on Oct 21. _______46________ “Returning to your family and where you came from, and your hist ory, this is what makes you strong,” she told People magazine.Keys:1 has been told 2. nothing 3. since 4. becoming 5. considering6. as/ though7. may/ might8.

wanted to earn his own living.CWe have met the enemy, and he is ours、We bought him at a pet shop、When monkey-pox, a disease usually found in the African rain forest, suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwest, it’s hard not to wonder if the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing in on human beings、“Most of the infections (感染) we think of as human infections started in other animals,”says Stephen Morse, director of the Center for Public Health Preparedness at Columbia University.It’s not just that we’re going to where the animals are; we’re also bringing them closer to us、Popular foreign pets have brought a whole new disease to this country、A strange illness killed Isaksen’s pets, and she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea、“I don’t think it’s fair to have them as pets when we have such a limited knowledge of them,” says Isaksen.“Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas without stricter control need changing,” says Peter Schantz、Monkey-pox may be the wake-up call、Researchers believe infected animals may infect their owners、We know very little about these new diseases、A new bug (病毒) may be kind at first、But it may develop into something harmful (有害的)、Monkey-pox doesn’t look a major infectious disease、But it is not impossible to pass the disease from person to person.64、We learn from Paragraph 1 that the pet sold at the shop may _________.A、come from ColumbiaB、prevent us from being infectedC、enjoy being with childrenD、suffer from monkey-pox65、Why did Isaksen advise people not to have foreign pets?A、They

infected by diseases from dogsC、should not be allowed to have petsD、should stop buying pets from AfricaDIt’s not easy being a teenager (13至19岁青少年) –nor is it easy being the parent of a teenager、You can make your child feel angry, hurt, or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself、It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow while gently letting him know that you’ll still be there for him when he needs you.Expect a lot from your child, just not everything、Except for health and safety problems, such as drug use or careless driving, consider everything else open to discussion、If your child is unwilling to discuss something, don’t insist he tell you what’s on his mind、The more you insist, the more likely that he’ll clam up、Instead, let him attempt to solve (解决) things by himself、At the same time, remind him that you’re always there for his should he seek advice or help、Show respect for your teenager’s privacy (隐私)、Never read his mail or listen in on personal conversations.Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family、If your child talks on the family’s telephone for too long, tell him he can talk for 15 minutes, but then he must stay off the phone for at least an equal period of time、This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls, but teaches yourteenager moderation (节制)、Or if you are open to the idea, allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part-time job.68、The main purpose of the text is to tell parents ______.A、how to get along with

Reading Comprehension (35%)(A)Every reader of this passage must spend the whole of his waking life looking at things. Looking, like breathing, is natural; we do it without noticing it. Looking is passive—but seeing is active. Once you start seeing things you really begin to wake up. People who see things which others have only looked at, and draw conclusions from what they see, can add to man’s knowledge and help progress.Someone recently discovered a place where metal had been worked continuously longer than any where else in England. He “saw” a wall in the Forest of Dean. Thousands of people must have looked at it without really seeing it, but this man noticed that among the usual stones of that place were bits and pieces of a different color; they also felt different to the hand. A closer sight showed that these pieces had been left behind in the fires of ancient people who had melted rocks to get metals. Looking around, he found more and more information, until the history of what men had done at that place over tens of centuries was known.65. In the first sentence of this passage, “his waking life” means _______.A. the time when he is waking upB. all the time he is awakeC. all the time he is aliveD. all the time he is breathing66.

One hundred years later, however, the Indians only had a very small part of the land that originally belonged to them. How did this great injustice (不公正) occur?After 1812 white settlers began to move west across North America. At first, the settlers andthe Indians lived in peace. However, the number of settlers increased greatly every year, and slowly the Indians began to see the white settlers as a danger to their survival. To feed themselves, the settlers killed more and more wild animals. The Indians, who depended on these animals for food, had to struggle against starvation. The settlers also brought with them many diseases which were common in white society, but which were new for the Indians. Great numbers of Indians became sick and died. Between 1843 and 1854 the Indian population in one area of the country went down from 100,000 to 30,000.More land was needed for the increasing number of white settlers. In Washington, the old respect for the rights of the Indians disappeared. The old promises to the Indians were broken; the government began to move groups of Indians from their original homelands to other poorer parts of the country. Some Indians reacted angrily and violently to this treatment. They began to attack white settlers, and the Indian war began. For 30 years, until the late 1880s, different groups of Indians fought against the injustices of the white man. They had a few famous successes, but the result of the struggle was never in doubt. There were too many white soldiers, and they were too powerful. Many Indians were killed; the survivors were moved from their homelands to different areas of the country. It was a terrible chapter in the history of a country that promised freedom and equality to everyone.73. It can be inferred form the passage that ____.A.in the U.S. there were many laws that provided the rights of American IndiansB.the law which was passed in 1789 by the U.S. government was not successfully carriedoutC.in the 19th century no injustices were done against the Indians by the U.S. governmentD.the majority of white settlers were openly opposed to the law passed in 178974. According to the passage which of the following is TRUE?A.The Indians believed that killing too many wild animals had disturbed the balance ofnature.B.The government began to have a better understanding of the Indians in the fifties of thenineteenth century.C.Between 1843 and 1854 about 70,000 Indians were killed in the battle.D.The whites carried serious diseases into where the Indians lived.75. It is implied in the passage that _________.A.the Indians had many great successes in the Indians warsB.the Indians had no doubt that they would win the warsC.after the war the Indians stayed where they were beforeD.the Indians were too weak to win the struggle76. What is the writer’s opinion about the treatment that the Indians received from the U.S. government?A.He believed that the government always respected the rights of the Indians.B.He believed that the government can’t be criticized for its treatment to theIndians.C.He believed that the government treated the Indians unjustly.D.He believed that the government’s unfair treatment against the Indians was not onpurpose.(D)Do you want to watch a hot movie while chatting with your friend on the phone, or shop with your mobile while on a train? The ongoing construction of a new telecommunication service will make these things reality, very soon.It is reported that China is to issue its first licence for the commercial use of third generation telecommunication technology early next year.The so-called 3G technology will enable mobile phone users to enjoy high-speed Internet-based services. It will help increase mobility in many areas of our life.Nowadays, many mobile phones also allow you to send e-mails or read the latest stories on the Internet, but their services are limited by their transporting speed, which is only 10 kilobytes per second. But 3G will enable you to connect to the Internet with a speed of up to 2 megabytes per second, a thousand times faster than what you use now.If recent mobile technology is like riding a bike on a country road, then 3G will make you fly on the information highway. For example, a mobile phone with 3G technology will enable you to download a three minutes’ MP3 song within two minutes. But at the moment, it will take you up to an hour to do this with your mobile phone.In the near future, we’ll expect high-speed access to the Internet, entertainment, information and electronic commerce services wherever we are – not just at our computers or television sets.In the UK and many other European countries where 3G services have been around since 2003, 3G has already become a part of modern business life. Nowadays, employees are able to spend some of their working hours at home. The new technology allows the emergency services to provide a video link with a hospital or doctor for patients who need special care.77. What are the strength of the so-called 3G technology?A. It enables mobile phone users to enjoy Internet-based servicesB. It can enable you to download MP3songs.C. A 3G mobile phone can transport information much faster than what we use now.D. 3G technology will offer you high-speed access to the Internet wherever there is a computer.78. Which is NOT true according to the passage?A. It is impossible for us to listen to MP3 music with our current mobile phone.B. Thanks to 3G phones, European employees needn’t always travel to work .C. 3G mobile phone enables you to watch a hot movie while chatting.D. The new technology allows a doctor to examine a patient through a video link.79. Which sentence can best describe the picture?A. 3G will make you fly on the information highway.B. 3G will help increase mobility in many areas of our lives.C. 3G has already become a part of modern business.D. 3G will enable you connect to the internet with a speed of 2 megabytes per second.(E)Directions:Read the text and then choose the most suitable heading from this list for each paragraph of the text. Note that there is one extra heading.for international shipping. The annual cargo throughput(吞吐量) of the port hit another record high of 176 million tons in 1993. The volume of International containers has reached the historical highest point.81. ____________________________________By now the Port of Shanghai has established maritime trade relations with more than 400 ports in over 160 countries and regions in the world, with 21 international regular lines starting from the port on over 100 voyages per month directly to North America, Europe, Australia, the Persian Gulf, the Mediterranean as well as Southeast and Northeast Asia and so on.82. ____________________________________Following the continuous and steady new growth in China’s national economy, the Port of Shanghai has, over the six years from 1988 to 1993, made an investment of RMB￥2.3 billion in capital construction and renovation(革新), and updated a large number of handling machines. Both cargo throughput(吞吐量) capacity and handling efficiency of the port have increased remarkably.83. ____________________________________Today, the port has become one of the hot spots that attract both attention and investment from other parts of China and the whole world. During his visit in Shanghai in the spring of 1992,Deng Xiaoping expressed his hope that Shanghai would show some changes every year. Taking this as its objective, the Port of Shanghai has been quickening the steps in its operational and commercial activities as well as construction of deep-water port areas.84. ____________________________________The four marginal berths of Waigaoqiao New Port Area have been largely completed and put into operation. Construction of the Luojing Coal Terminal was started at the end of 1993. Grain Silos with a capacity of 80,000 tons and a modern communication building for water traffic are both showing signs of completion. Construction of coastal, domestic and international passenger terminals has substantially entered its initial stage. The deep water port area at Jinshanzui shall open a new chapter in the history of the Port of Shanghai.PART TWO:I.Translation: (20%)1.字典应该放在容易取阅的地方。

out in the United States 14 years ago by the universal use of the MMR vaccine （疫苗）．But the disease is making a comeback，caused by a growing anti﹣vaccine movement and misinformation that is spreading quickly．Already this year，115 measles cases have been reported in the USA，compared with 189 for all of last year．The numbers might sound small，but they are the leading edge of a dangerous trend．When vaccination rates are very high，as they still are in the nation as a whole，everyone is protected．This is called "herd immunity"，which protects the people who get hurt easily，including those who can't be vaccinated for medical reasons，babies too young to get vaccinated and people on whom the vaccine doesn't work．But herd immunity works only when nearly the whole herd joins in．When some refuse vaccination and seek a free ride，immunity breaks down and everyone is in even bigger danger．That's exactly what is happening in small neighborhoods around the country from Orange County，California，where 22 measles cases were reported this month，to Brooklyn，N．Y．，where a 17﹣year﹣old caused an outbreak last year．The resistance to vaccine has continued for decades，and it is driven by a real but very small risk．Those who refuse to take that risk selfishly make others suffer．Making things worse are state laws that make it too easy to opt out （决定不参加）of what are supposed to be required vaccines for all children entering kindergarten．Seventeen states allow parents to get an exemption（豁免），sometimes just by signing a paper saying they personally object to a vaccine．Now，several states are moving to tighten laws by adding new regulations for opting out．But no one does enough to limit exemptions．Parents ought to be able to opt out only for limited medical or religious reasons．Butpersonal opinions？Not good enough．Everyone enjoys the life﹣saving benefits vaccines provide，but they'll exist only as long as everyone shares in the risks．（1）The first two paragraphs suggest that．A．a small number of measles cases can start a dangerous trendB．the outbreak of measles attracts the public attentionC．anti﹣vaccine movement has its medical reasonsD．information about measles spreads quickly（2）Herd immunity works well when．A．exemptions are allowedB．several vaccines are used togetherC．the whole neighborhood is involved inD．new regulations are added to the state laws（3）What is the main reason for the comeback of measles？A．The overuse of vaccine．B．The lack of medical care．C．The features of measles itself．D．The vaccine opt﹣outs of some people．（4）What is the purpose of the passage？A．To introduce the idea of exemption．B．To discuss methods to cure measles．C．To stress the importance of vaccination．D．To appeal for equal rights in medical treatment．18．（6分）Suppose you're in a rush，feeling tired，not paying attention to your screen，and you send an email that could get you in trouble．Realisation will probably set in seconds after you've clicked "send"．You freeze in horrors and burn with shame．What to do？Here are four common email accidents，and how to recover．Clicking "send" too soonDon't waste your time trying to find out if the receivers has read it yet．Write another email as swiftly as you can and send it with a brief explaining that this is the correct version and the previous version should be ignored．Writing the wrong timeThe sooner you notice，the better．Respond quickly and briefly，apologizing for yourmistake．Keep the tone measured：don't handle it too lightly，as people can be offended，especially if your error suggests a misunderstanding of their culture（i．e．incorrect ordering of Chinese names）．Clicking "reply all" unintentionallyYou accidentally reveal（透露）to entire company what menu choices you would prefer at the staff Christmas dinner，or what holiday you'd like to take．In this instance，the best solution is to send a quick，light﹣hearted apology to explain your awkwardness．But it can quickly rise to something worse，when everyone starts hitting "reply all" to join in a long and unpleasant conversation．In this instance，step away from your keyboard to allow everyone to calm down．Sending an offensive message to its subjectThe most awkward email mistake is usually committed in anger．You write an unkind message about someone，intending to send it to a friend，but accidentally send it to the person you're discussing．In that case，ask to speak in person as soon as possible and say sorry．Explain your frustrations calmly and sensibly﹣see it as an opportunity to clear up any difficulties you may have with this person．（1）If you have written the wrong name in an email，it is best to．A．apologise in a serious mannerB．tell the receiver to ignore the errorC．learn to write the name correctlyD．send a short notice to everyone（2）What should you do when an unpleasant conversation is started by your "reply all" email？A．Try offering other choices．B．Avoid further involvement．C．Meet other staff members．D．Make a light﹣hearted apology．（3）What is the passage mainly about？A．Defining email errors．B．Reducing email mistakes．C．Handling email accidents．D．Improving email writing．19．（8分）Discoveries in science and technology are thought by "untaught minds" to come in blinding flashes or as the result of dramatic accidents．Sir Alexander Fleming did not，aslegend would have it，look at the mold （霉）on a piece of cheese and get the idea for penicillin there and then．He experimented with antibacterial substances for nine years before he made his discovery．Inventions and innovations almost always come out of tough trial and error．Innovation is like soccer；even the best players miss the goal and have their shots blocked much more frequently than they score．The point is that the players who score most are the ones who take most shots at the goal﹣and so it goes with innovation in any field of activity．The prime difference between innovation and others is one of approach．Everybody gets ideas，but innovators work consciously on theirs，and they follow them through until they prove practicable or otherwise．What ordinary people see as fanciful abstractions，professional innovators see as solid possibilities．"Creative thinking may mean simply the realization that there's no particular goodness in doing things the way they have always been done．" Wrote Rudolph Flesch， a language authority．This accounts for our reaction to seemingly simple innovations like plastic garbage bags and suitcases on wheels that make life more convenient："How come nobody thought of that before？"The creative approach begins with the proposal that nothing be as it appears．Innovators will not accept that there is only one way to do anything．Faced with getting from A to B，the average person will automatically set out on the best﹣known and apparently simplest route．The innovator will search for alternate courses，which may prove easier in the long run and are sure to be more interesting and challenging even if they lead to dead ends．Highly creative individuals really do march to a different drummer．（1）What does the author probably mean by "untaught mind" in the first paragraph？A．An individual who often comes up with new ideas by accident．B．A person who has had no education．C．A citizen of a society that restricts personal creativity．D．A person ignorant of the hard work involved in experimentation．（2）According to the author，what differs innovators from non﹣innovators？A．The way they present their findings．B．The way they deal with problems．C．The intelligence they possess．D．The variety of ideas they have．（3）The phrase "march to a different drummer" （the last line of the passage）suggests that highly creative individuals are．A．unwilling to follow common ways of doing thingsB．diligent in pursuing their goalsC．concerned about the advance of societyD．devoted to the progress of science（4）The most suitable title for this passage might be．A．The Relation Between Creation and DiligenceB．To Be a Creative Expert in the Study of Human CreativityC．What Are So Special about Creative IndividualsD．Discoveries and InnovationSection C Directions：Completethefollowingpassagebyusingthesentencesgivenbelow．Eachsentencecanbeusedonly once．Notethattherearetwomoresentencesthanyouneed．20．（8分）A．So if they're not building by imitation or carrying out instructions，how is this knowledge getting passed around？B．Crafting tool is a kind of culture，which can be passed down from generation to generation by crows．C．However，the crows only got treats when they popped in a paper "coin" of a certain size．D．These birds，native to the islands of New Caledonia east of Australia，are known for their ability to craft tools．AB．Seeing this in action is important because it supports the idea that New Caledonian crows are capable of building﹣at least when it comes to crafting tools．AC．Jelbert and her team then gave the crows paper to let them cut into proper size．There's no denying crows are smart．They can remember where food has been hidden，recognize faces and craft tools．And，according to a new paper in Scientific Reports，some crows can even make those tools from memory．This skill may point to these clever corvids having a sort of culture of their own．Researchers，led by Sarah Jelbert at the University of Cambridge，worked specifically with New Caledonian crows．（1）But experts haven't been able to make sure where the crows pick up their skills．A bird in one area can construct the same tool as another bird miles away ﹣but there's no evidence bird one watched bird two build the gadget in order to copy it．And New Caledonian crows don't really have a language，either．（2）Jelbert and her team had a hunch（预感）that it was because the birds were building based on the memory of tools they'd seen．To test this，the group trained eight crows to place pieces of paper into a pseudo﹣vending machine （really just a wooden box）to get a treat．（3）Once they learned which sizes were rewarded，Jelbert and her team then gave the feathered participants large cards；the birds could fashion these into the coin sizes they'd picked up on earlier．Importantly，the crows didn't get any sort of template（模板）when they were working with the big cards．And the birds snipped them into pieces that were similar in size to the coins they'd learned would get them treats．Given the lack of a template to copy，it seems the crows were able to construct mental images of the coins and use it to replicate a tool．（4）These birds can see something and not just build it from memory，but potentially make improvements in their designs．"Most importantly，" the authors say in the study，"an improvement made by a crow during its lifetime could become part of the template learnt by subsequent generations，leading to an increase in tool complexity over time．" And this progression is a key component of cultural progression．Jelbert and her team recognize there's still work to be done to see if their hypothesis is solid，like testing how long the crows can remember their mental images of the tools．I．Summary（15%）21．（15分）Directions：Read the following passage．Summarize in no more than 60 words the main idea of the passage and how it is illustrated．Use your own words as far as possible．Are your children getting on your last nerve？Did a coworker's comment rub you the wrong way？There's no need to plug the steam coming out of your ears．In fact，science now gives you full permission to release those emotions；you might actually be happier for it．If that seems counterintuitive（违反直觉的），hear us out．A new study suggests that people tend to be happier if they can feel and express emotions as they want．That goes for unpleasant emotions like anger and hatred，too．An international team of researchers recruited 2，300 university students from the United States，Brazil，China，Germany，Ghana，Israel，Poland，and Singapore．They then asked the participants to tell them which emotions they desired and which ones they actually felt，and then compared those responses to how the participants rated their overall happiness or life satisfaction．The results showed an interesting trend．While participants wanted to experience more pleasant emotions，they reported higher life satisfaction if the emotions they experienced matched those they desired．More surprising still，11 percent of people wanted to feel lessof positive emotions，such as love and empathy，and 10 percent of people wanted to feel more negative emotions，such as hatred and anger．At first glance，these results might seem confusing．But there's a simple explanation，according to the study's authors．Happiness is "more than simply feeling pleasure and avoiding pain，" they write．It is also learning to release negative emotions when you feel them，instead of ignoring them or bottling them up．"If you feel emotions you want to feel，even if they're unpleasant，then you're better off，" lead researcher Dr Maya Tamir from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem told the BBC News website．Translation （15%）Directions：Translate the following sentences into English，using the words given in the

Fraser Stoddart and Dutch scientist Bernard L. Feringa. They were awarded the prize for creating theworld’s smallest machines.How small? Instead of being made of nails and bolts like23)_________ machines, they are made of molecules. Instead of measuring in meters or centimeters, they measure in nanometers –– one billionth of a meter –– much thinner than a human hair.But this was achieved neither 24)__________, nor alone.Back in 1983, Sauvage, who is now a retired professor at the University of Strasbourg, France, started doing the research. He managed to join two ring-shaped molecules together to form a chain. The work is so hard and 25)__________that The Guardian describes it as like“building a Lego castle in the dark with boxing gloves”.If what Sauvage had done was building the body of a car, whatStoddart managed to do 10 years later in 1991 was adding wheels to the car. Stoddart, who now works at Northwestern University, US, developeda(n) 26)_________ known as “rotaxanes”, which me ant that a ring of atoms could move around an axle.And just like a car, the molecular machine needs a(n) 27)________ to run. So in 1999, Feringa, of the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, became the first person to create a(n) 28)_________ molecular motor powered by electricity.But what is the use of a machine so small that we can’t even see it? According to scientists, the machines can benefit various fields likethe creation of new materials and medical treatment methods.“There are 29)___________ opportunities,” Feringa told Reuters. “Think of a tinymicro-robot that a doctor in the future will inject into your blood and it will go to search for a cancer cell or 30)__________ a drug, for instance.”III. Cloze (12%)When it comes to makers of nature documentaries, ___31___ are better than French directors Jacques Perrin and Jacques Cluzaud. ___32___ the names don’t ring a bell, you might be familiarwith at least one of their masterpieces –– Microcosmos, Winged Migration and Oceans.Seasons is their latest nature film. After ___33___ the micro world, the sky and the sea, this time they have turned their attention to the land that we humans live on and the animals we ___34___ this land with. Through their lenses, we get to see up-close shots of ___35___ like baby bears learning to climb trees and cute owls looking out of tree holes.In fact, this year is ___36___ a boom in nature documentaries. Now, 10 years since the highly successful Planet Earth (2006) series, the BBC is finally releasing a sequel, Planet Earth II. Oscar-winning actor and longtime environmental ___37___ Leonardo DiCaprio has also co-produced a film about climate change, Before the Flood, which is going to be released on Oct 21 in the US.Technology may be one of the reasons, since shooting a nature film used to be ___38___ and dangerous. Photographers sometimes have to wait in the wild for hours just for the ___39___ animal to show up, and they may even have to risk their lives to capture a hunting scene.Now things are getting easier. For example, the Planet Earth team developed a new camera system. It allows cameras to stay stable even when they are placed on ___40___ or a running animal. This means that photographers are able to get a clear shot even from a distance away.The reality that Earth is faced with increasing environmental problems has also played a part in the ___41___ of nature films. In fact, this can be seen from the changes in Perrin’s storytelling.In Seasons, Perrin’s poetic storytelling turns ___42___ andcontains warnings about the dangers ofhumans turning their backs on nature.“The film reinforces the idea that man versus nature is an unnecessary idea, as we’re part of what we’re destroying,” wrote Lee Marshall on film review site ScreenDaily.31.

Thanks to the glaciers and the dark sky, the bright, colorful dancing lights becamea heavenly light display.AC. Known as “the land of fire and ice”, the country has many natural wonders.Found just south of the Arctic Circle, it’s far from the northernmost country on Earth. But as a travel destination, Iceland is on top of the world.43)____________________________. As the Today website put it, “Itis as if nature chose Iceland to be its shop window to … remind humanity that nature is still the unstoppable force.”As the world was reminded when the Eyjafjallajokull volcano erupted s ix years ago, Iceland is a country “still in the making, and few other places offer the same opportunities to see the Earth in action”, commented National Geographic magazine.Ice is Iceland’s other big attraction –– to be exact, the huge glaciers which travel toward thecoast, making strange pools of water.44)_______________________________________.On Sept 28, the country’s capital Reykjavik decided to turn off all streetlights for an hour at night to give people a unique chance to enjoy the northern lights. 45) “___________________ ”,travel guidebook publisher Lonely Planet noted.46)__________________________. Iceland has a higher percentage of writers in its population than any other country in the world. And it is not surprising that the country publishes more books per person than any other country in the world, reported the NPR radio station. Iceland has been the birthplace of important literary works and authors – from the Vikings’ Iceland sagas to author Halldór Laxness, winner of the 1955 Nobel literature Prize.“The beast is Iceland, with its harsh nature and its bitter, ever-changing weather.

Though this statement might be somewhat 41 , the world has recently been reminded of how important bees really are. A strange phenomenon called Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) is making bees 42 in various places around the globe. The Western honeybee, one of the most well-known bee species, has been 43 affected. And, according to some studies, CCD has the potential to cause billions of dollars in losses.Why are these small, fuzzy insects so 44 to the world? Bees do something that no other insects can do---they make honey. Honey contains everything needed to sustain life---including water! But this sweet 45 is just one of the many products given to us by bees. Most bee species also produce beewax, which is found in hundreds of 46 such as candles, soaps and some skin creams.When 47 of how people are dependent on bees for survival, we aren’t talking about honey or beewax. Apiarists, people who raise bees, 48 them for more than just their honey. They contract their bees out to farmers to pollinate (授花粉) their crops. In fact, without bees, we would not be able to eat many fruits and 49 , including almonds, onions, melons and pumpkins.So the next time you see a bee buzzing around, remember that it’s doing more than just making life a little sweeter.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrases that best fits the context.Email has had a good run as king of communications. But its leading position is over. In its place, a new 50 of services is starting to take hold -- services like Twitter and Facebook and countless others competing for a piece of the new world.Years ago, we were 51 if it took a few days for a letter to arrive. A couple of years ago, we'd complain about a half-hour 52 in getting an email. Today, we make complaints about it taking an extra few seconds for a text message to 53 . In a few months, we may be complaining that our cell phones aren't automatically able to send 54 to friends within a certain distance, letting them know we're nearby. (A number of services already do this.)These new services also make communicating more 55 and informal -- more like a blog comment or a throwaway aside, rather than a crafted email sent to one person. No need to spend time56 a long email to your half-dozen closest friends about how your vacation went. Now those friends, if they're interested, can watch it unfold in real time online. 57 sending a few emails a week to a handful of friends, you can send dozens of messages a day to hundreds of people who know you, or just 58 do.But the 59 and ease of communication cut both ways. While making communication more frequent, they can also make it less 60 and intimate. Communicating is becoming so easy that the recipient knows how little time and thought was required of the sender. Yes, your half-dozen closest friends can read your vacation updates. But so can your 500 other friends. And if you know all these people are 61 your updates, you might say a lot less than you would otherwise.That can make it harder to determine the 62 of various messages. In the new messagingworld, you have a lot of personal information, packed with data you want to share and possibly some you don't. Such information has its pluses and minuses. It can 63 the people communicating closer, allowing them to exchange not only text but also all sorts of personal information, even facial cues. You know a lot about the person you are talking to, even before you've ever 64 a single word.50. A. competition B. generation C. comparison D. revolution51. A. satisfied B. overjoyed C. relieved D. frustrated52. A. delay B. advance C. access D. composition53. A. lead to B. refer to C. go through D. look through54.

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.(A)A four-year-old boy has become pen pals with Britain’s Queen Elizabeth. Tom Stancombe started exchanging letters with the queen after he set free a balloon, carrying his name and address, at a school party and it landed in the grounds of Windsor Castle.The queen spotted the balloon and asked her personal assistant, Angela Kelly, to write a letter on her behalf.She wrote, “The queen wa s delighted to find that your balloon had traveled all the way to the gardens at Windsor Castle.”Tom, who proudly put the letter on his wall, wrote back to say that his great, great grandfather, the artist Petrus Johannes Arundzen, had been commissioned t o copy Dutch masters’ on display at Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace.Angela at once replied that she would contact the Royal Collection to find out what had happened to the art works. She kept her word and two weeks later wrote to Tom to tell him what had happened to the etchings, explaining they now form part of the print collection in the Print Library.Angela then asked a favor of Tom, writing, “Would you be able to ask your Mummy and Daddy for me if they know anything more about your great, great grandfather. Royal Collection would love to know more about him.”Along with his parents, Tom wrote back to fill in all the gaps about Petrus Johannes Arundzen.Although Tom’s parents don’t think there will be any more letters exchanged between the pair, th ey were touched that she had taken time to contact them.Tom’s father said, “I don’t expect we’ll get another one, but I think it’s incredible they bothered replying at all.”65．Windsor Castle is ________.A. a playing ground.B. the queen’s home.C. a post office.D. a rose garden.66．“etchings” in Paragraph 5 means ________.A. photos.B. cartoons.C. postcards.D. paintings.67．Tom’s parents ________.A. feel very much shocked about the letters and refuse to answer themB. try to deal with the friendship naturally but refuse to do anything about itC. don’t take the matter very seriouslyD. don’t think this friendship will last long but somehow feel good68．Which would be the best title for the text?A．A Boy’s Good Luck B．Tom’s Special B alloonC．A Story at Windsor Castle D．Four-year-old Boy Becomes the Queen’s Pen Pal(B)Five million milesTo celebrate our new look, we are proud to present the“Five Million Miles Bonanza".

Currently, when we hear about location, it's likely to mean the place overseas where a company is outsourcing jobs to reduce costs— as has occurred in manufacturing and more and more often is taking place in the service and technology sectors.But in some instances the cost of location is less important than other factors, such as the need to attract and retain highly skilled knowledge workers. For example, although the technology sector is outsourcing some of its customer service and programming work to low-cost labor in developing countries, the sector's hubs remain in places with some of the highest living costs in the United States, such as California's Silicon Valley and the Route 128 area around Boston.Businesses that choose to locate in such expensive places do so for an important reason. Their principal assets are their people — knowledge professionals who, more than most other types of workers, have a high degree of control over their employment conditions.An important factor in both attracting such workers and stimulating innovation is industry clustering. Some clusters (集聚区)develop when businesses that rely on highly educated, highly skilled workers become concentrated around university research facilities. Other clusters take shape when firms become grouped around one or two large, key companies.Knowledge workers are attracted to the ready access to networks and employment opportunities afforded by regional industry clusters.In addition, a growing number of knowledge workers are single, and they may find the urban lifestyle and the leisure activities and cultural events offered by city living more to their liking than do workers with families.Today, this convergence (会聚)of job opportunities and lifestyle preferences draws knowledge workers to megacities in the East and West, but the trend may be starting to change.While the formation of huge metropolitan areas is accelerating across the developing world, industrialized countries such as the United States that are making the transition to a knowledge economy are seeing an increase in the appeal of midsize cities of 1 million to 2 million inhabitants. Midsize cities may offer the pluses of both major and smaller cities: large enough to support some clustering and an urban lifestyle attractive to many knowledge professionals, yet small enough to escape megacities' quality-of-life problems such as congestion and high housing costs.In fact, there may already be some shift toward smaller cities. According to the U.S. Census (人口普查) Bureau, major cities on the East and West coasts are starting to lose population while midsize cities, many of them in warmer regions, are growing.This apparent contradiction — knowledge workers continuing to live mainly in large cities on the East and West coasts while major growth is forecast for other areas of the country — makes it difficult to say for certain the kinds of places where most knowledge workers will be living decades from now.But whatever trend develops, there will be implications for both business and society. And for HR practitioners, location may prove to be a powerful tool for attracting and retaining highly skilled workers.72. Why do some American companies arrange for overseas workers to do their jobs?A. To make better known their products.B. To attract greater number of employees.C. To escape the economic crisis at home.D. To cut down the costs of their business.73. In regional industry clusters, one will see __________.A. businesses of similar types concentrated in the same locationB. many factories and plants closedC. one or two large companies dominating other businessesD. many different companies crowded close together in a small area74. We learn from the passage that __________.A. there are more megacities in the U.S than anywhere else.B. knowledge workers are now mainly living in midsize citiesC. the number of megacities is increasing in developing countriesD. workers with families appreciate the urban life style more than those who are single75. What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?A. To persuade companies to locate in midsize cities.B. To make a comparison between megacities and midsize cities.C. To determine where most knowledge workers would prefer to live.D. To show that location may be a very important consideration in business.Section CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.CDirections: Read the text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A-F for each paragraph.76.______Physicians’ fees are only one reason for rising health costs in the United States. Medical research has produced many tests to diagnose, or discover, patients’ illnesses. Physicians usually feel obliged to order enough tests to rule out all likely causes of a patient’s symptoms. A routine laboratory bill for blood testscan easily be more than $100.77. ______Sophisticated new machines have been developed to enable physicians to scan body organs with a clarity never before possible. One technique involves the use of ultrasound-sound waves beyond the frequencies that human beings can hear to produce images. Others use computers to capture and analyze images produced by X-rays or magnetic fields. These machines are extremely expensive: the price of a single machine can exceed one million dollars.78.______New technologies also mean new personnel. Physicians, nurses and orderlies can no longer staff a hospital alone. Hospitals now require a bewildering number of technical specialists to administer new tests and operate advanced medical equipment.79. ______Physicians and hospitals also must buy malpractice insurance to protect themselves should they be sued for negligence by patients who feel they have been mistreated or have received inadequate care. The rates for this insurance have been risen very steeply in the last ten years, as patients have become more medically knowledgeable, and as juries sometimes awarded very large amounts of money to injured patients.80. ______As a result, hospital costs and physicians’ fees rose steadily through the 1990s. government agencies became convinced that it was necessary to limit rising medical costs. One approach is to require hospitals to prove that a need exists for new buildings and services. Hospitals also have faced pressure to run their operations more efficiently, and to decrease the duration of hospital stays for patients receiving routine treatment or minor surgery.Section DRead the following passage and answer the questions. Write your answers in your answer sheet.(E)Consistent with evidence that physical attractiveness is related to obtaining employment and promotion, more attractive employees also have been found to enjoy more economic success in their careers. A recent study looked at the careers of 2,500 law students from a prestigious law school in the United States. An independent panel of raters rated the students' appearance on a scale from one to five. Five years after graduation, those of above-average attractiveness were earning eight to nine percent more than those of below-average attractiveness. After 15 years, those of above-average appearance were earning 12 to 13 percent more.The research on attractiveness and salaries also suggests that attractiveness is more consistently related to economic success for men than for women. Roszell, Kennedy, and Grabb (1989) examined the relationship of attractiveness to income attainment for over 1,000 Canadians. Attractive persons earned higher annual salaries than less attractive persons. With each increase in rated attractiveness on a five-point scale of attractiveness, the 1981 annual income of the respondent increased by $1,988. After controlling for respondent gender, the gender composition of the job, and 1979 salary, this figure dropped to 1,046 but was still statistically significant. This relationship was found for men, older employees, and those engaged in male-dominated occupations, but not for women, younger employees, and those in female-dominated occupations.Two studies at the University of Pittsburgh have provided further evidence that good looks pay. In one study, Good, Olson, and Frieze (1986) used height, weight, and body mass (weight relative to height) as indicators of physical attractiveness. They surveyed over 2,000 M.B.A. graduates of the University of Pittsburgh who graduated between 1973 and 1982. For men, weight but not height was found to predict starting salary, and both height and weight predicted the current (1983) salary. However, neither of these variables predicted the starting and current salary of the women in the sample. For each one-inch increase in height, the salary of the men was $600 higher. Overweight men earned $4,000 less in salary than those of normal weight.注意：该部分的答案请填写在答题纸的相应部分。
