But I wonder 48 all the trends( 时髦 ) are worth following.Some people may defend(辩护) themselves 49 saying snake meat is nutritious (有营养的). But these people don’t realize that many parasites (寄生虫)， 50 do harm to our health, are found inside snakes.According 51 a survey, about 1000 tons of snakes are eaten every year in China and sometimes as 52 as 10，000 snakes are served on dinner tables in Shenzhen in a single day!These figures warn us that if no action is taken, 53 number of snakes will drop and there will be an increase in mice and wor ms, which will result 54 decrease of crop output.

From Monday to Saturday, the paper has about 75 pages, of w hich 20 pages are advertisements. It normally has 5 sections w hich are called Nation, Sports, Metro(大都会), Living and Business.Nation is national news mostly with some international news ab out earthquakes, floods, and tensions(紧张)around the world. Sports cover the professional sports in sea son, college sports, and high school sports. Metro is local news of the city of which includes political stories, crimes, and good neighbor articles. Living is the section with television programs, movies, comics, music, stories about pets, and advice. Busines s has listing of more than 10,000 stocks and a regular report ab out the stock market and business news. The advertising sectio n includes apartments and houses, employment opportunities a nd items to buy, especially cars and trucks.On Sunday, the paper is very large weighing more than two kilos. There are additional sections called Art, Books, International, and Travel. Since this is the day most Americans do not work, t hey have more time for reading. Each of the daily sections is lo nger so the newspaper is twice the size of the daily sections. H owever, the advertisements are nearly as many pages as the n ews on Sunday so the entire paper is more than four times larg er than the daily paper.Some companies print their own advertisements and pay to put them in The Oregonian. These include grocery(杂货) stores, clothing stores, car agencies(代理处), camera and video equipment stores, toy stores, and compu ter stores.

Portland is located in .Part IV Writing (45marks)Section A (10 marks)Filling in company application forms can become a boring and repetitive task, yet any carelessness on an applicant’s(申请人) part can draw a negative reaction from readers. Blowing it a t this stage, you won’t get a chance to persuade them in person , no matter how good you are. Each company or organization u sually uses its own specially designed form that, although it gen erally asks for the same basic information, may vary in detail. S o the suggestions below will help you to know what to do rather than what you should write.Prepare your personal data record in advance. When visiting fut ure employers, always carry it with you so that you can readily s earch for details such as dates, telephone, numbers and other useful information.Treat every application form as though it is the first one you are completing-write not only carefully but also neatly.Use words that describe each job you have held as fully as pos sible rather than list only the duties you performed. Particularly describe social activities that show your involvemen t(参与) in the community or in the activities in which you held a teac hing or coaching role.Pay particular attention if there is a section on the form that ask s you to say how your education and past experience have esp ecially prepared you for the position.Think this through very carefully before you write so that what y ou say shows a natural progression from past experience to the job you are applying for. If you can, and if they fit naturally, add a few words to explain how the position fits your overall career plan. Follow these suggestions and you can get your foot in the door of a great future!Title: How to Fill in_____71_______Section B (10 marks)My grandfather was a wonderful gardener. As long as I could remember, he had grown a garden full of vegetables in the bac k of his yard. He grew different kinds of vegetables. One year h e even tried pumpkin. The pumpkins did turn out well.As children, my sister and I would spend time looking after th e garden with him. We would learn about planting seeds. My gr andfather would show us how the beans would climb up the fen ce and he built up beyond the fence to let them climb even high er. I was always surprised to see them grow even taller than me .The pride of my grandfather’s garden was his tomatoes. Ever y year as soon as the tomato plants bloomed, I would ask my gr andfather when we could eat the tomatoes. He would say, “Not yet.”I would ask the next week, “ Can we pick them yet?”He would answer, “Not yet.”Finally, I would be sure that they were ripe(成熟的). When so many bright red tomatoes hung on the branches, I would go up to my grandfather and ask, “Can we pick them now?”He enjoyed seeing my sister and I eat the tomatoes. I think th e garden was my grandfather’s way of sharing his blessings wit h those around him. The garden always had more than enough produce for my grandparents and for my family, so he would giv e some to anyone who would accept. He hoped we could pass his generosity to others.As he grew older, I would look after the garden for him. My gr andfather never expected me to do all of it for him, but I could al ways see the pride on his face when everything was complete.81.

Tomor row四、阅读理解（每小题2分，共16小题32分）AIt was the beginning of the school year a few years ago and I h ad a little boy in my class who came from a nonEnglish speakin g home. He was very quiet and shy. I wasn’t sure how much he understood during the school day and I was especially concerned that he just stood by himself at break time and did not play.If I tried to talk to him，he would turn away and tightly shut his eyes to hide from me. After a day or two of this，I decided to seek the help from one of my outgoing and friendly little girls.I called her over and she ran to me，ready to help.I immediately began a long speech about what I needed from h er.I asked her if she would try to get him to play，and I started talking quickly about all these suggestions on how she could start communicating with him. I explained she could d o this，she could do that，she could try this idea，she could try that idea.She touched my arm to stop my talking a nd looked up at me in that wise and special way that only a sixy earold can，and said，“Don’t worry.I speak kid.” And she ran off.I stood there all alone，silently watching her.It took less than a minute for the two new f riends to run off，hand in hand，happily joining a game of tag (捉人游戏) taking place all over the gym.I often think of that small moment，about what I learned and how important it is for all teachers to s peak kid—big kid，little kid and middle kid.I know my focus must be on teaching st udents how to think，how to approach problems，and how to figure out solutions and teaching them never to let t he_opportunity away.We must be ready to learn from our stude nts because those “teachable moments” during the school days are for us，the teachers，as well as our kids.BWhen it comes to feeling better about yourself，nothing will help you like healthy eating.Controlling what you ea t is a big factor (因素) in how you look and feel.If you think about it，so much of how we behave，how we feel，and how our bodies perform is based on what we put into them. The old saying “You Are What You Eat” is actually true.The pro blem is that a lot of mainstream diet books you might find in you r local bookstore or online are trying to sell you diet plans that don’t work and that might even make you sick.Healthy eating is great for your body.It doesn’t take a rocket sci entist to figure that out.Many people don’t realize just how good healthy food is for them.By eating great foods that are natural a nd healthy，you can lose weight.You can also have a lot more energy.So yo u shouldn’t just think of healthy eating as a way to burn fat，but you should also think of it as a way to get your life back in o rder.You can spend more time with your family and get more work d one because you will have more energy.You will be impressed by how much better you’ll feel by putting nutritious，natural foods into your body.Your look will be better.You’ll have more energy，and you’ll be happier.The important thing to remember when it comes to eating healt hy is to not fall for any tricks.There are a lot of people out there l ooking to make quick money.They will tell you just something s o they can sell a book or a video.What you need is to trust a die t plan that is right for your cate yourself about your ow n body type.Find out what kinds of foods are best for you.If the diet book you trust doesn’t teach you these important factors，then you might be reading bad information.55. In the author’s opinion, if you want to feel better about yourself, you should________.A.keep taking exercises every dayB.avoid an unhealthy d ietC. try to lose weightD.make a diet plan56.By saying that “You Are What You Eat” in Paragraph 2，the author means________.A．healthy food is importantB．everyone has to live on food C．not all diet books are good for us D．what we eat provide s more energy than we need57.The natural and healthy eating can NOT________.A．help one lose weightB．burn fat in one’s body C．decrease one’s energyD．make one’s life regularized58.According the passage, a good diet book should be one ___ _____.A. that help you enjoy foodB. that is popular among peo pleC. that helps you choose suitable foodsD. that supplies much information59．The purpose of this passage is to________.A．describe a good diet bookB．teach people how to make diet plansC．list the advantage and disadvantage of eatingD．show the importance of healthy eating and some tricks in e atingCEveryone knows that the French are romantic, the Italians are f ashionable and the Germans are serious. Or do they? Are thes e just stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national char acter? And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?At least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent surv ey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (实业家) in the UK found that 70 percent felt that their efforts were no t appreciated by the British public.Britain is hostile to success, they said. It has a culture of jealous y (嫉妒) . As a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were “unloved, unwanted and misunderstood”. Jealousy is sometimes known a s the “green-eyed monster” and the UK is its home. Scientists at Warwich U niversity in the UK recently tested this idea. They gathered a gr oup of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money. Some were given a little, others a great deal. Those giv en a little money were given the chance to destroy the large am ounts of money given to others—but at the cost of losing their own. Two thirds of the people test ed agreed to do this.This seems to prove the entrepreneurs were right to complain. But there is also conflicting evidence. The Organization for Eco nomic Cooperation and Development (OECD) recently reported that the UK was now the world’s fourth largest economy .That i s not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe. So the British people are not lazy, either.“It’s not really success that the British dislike,” says Carey Coop er, a Professor of management at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. “It’s people using their suc cess in a way that seems arrogant (傲慢) or unfair or which separates them from their roots .”Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem. They set out to do things in their way. They work long hours. By their ow n efforts they become millionaires. But instead of being happy t hey complain that nobody loves them. It hardly seems worth foll owing their example. If they were friendlier, people would like th em more. And more people want to be like them.DDo you want to go out of town for a bit of rest and relaxation? Before you start packing, visit these best travel sites for vacatio ners. In my opinion, they help people deal with common proble ms that pop up during a trip.Based on the advertised photos, the hotel you are considering appears to be clean and modern.

The way to achieve this may not besimple.It is very difficult for a nation to give help directly to people in another nation.The United Nations Organiztion(UNO)could undertake to direct the distribution of aid. Here however rises the problem of costs. Also tied with thisis time.Perhaps the UNOcould set up a body of devoted men and womenis every country who can speedily distribute aid to victims of floods and earthquakes.More than the help that one nation can give to another during a disaster,it would be more effective to give other forms of help during normal times. A commonproverb says,“Give me a fish and I eat for day,teach me to fish and I eat for a lifetime. ”If we follow this wise saying,it would be right to teach people from less developed nations to take care of themselves.For example, a country could share its technology with another.This could be in simple areas like agriculture or in more complex areas like medical and health care or even in building satellites. Even small country is able to help less developed nations. Sometimes what is take for granted, like thesetting up of a water purification plant or the administration of a school, couldbe useful for countries which are looking about to solve common problems. It doesnot cost much to share such simple things. Exchange students could be attached for a number of months or years and learn the required craft while on the site. Theycan then take their knowledge back to their homelands and if necessary come backform time to time to clear doubts or to update themselves. Such aid will be trulyhelpful and there is no chance of it being temporary or of it falling into the wrong hands.Many countries run extensive courses in all sorts of skills. It will not costmuch to include deserving foreigners in these courses. Besides giving effective help to the countries concerned, there is also the build-up of friendships to consider. Giving direct help by giving materials may be effective in the short run and mustcontinue to be given in the event of emergencies. However, in the long run what isreally effective would be the sharing of knowledge.41. According to the author, how could international aid reach the victims in time?A. By solving the cost problemsB.

It was a strange place. Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jack’s dare. They liked camping, but not near this swamp.“So,” Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals.“How did this placeget its name?”“Are you sure you want to hear it ? It’s a scary story,” warned Jack.“Of course! ” cried out Tom.“If there were anything to be scared of, youwouldn’t have chosen this place!”“Ok, but don ’t say I didn ’t warn you, ” said Jack, and he began this tale.“Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here. He builtthat cottage over there to live in. In those days, the area looked quite different---- it was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystal-clear river. Afterthree hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops. He wasso proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice.“‘ You are clearing too much land, ’ warned one old man. ‘ The land is a living thing. It will hit back at you if you abuse it.’“‘ Silly fool,’ said Dennis to himself.‘If I clear more land, I can growmore crops. I’ll become wealthier. He’s just jealous!’”“Dennis continued to chop down trees. Small animals that relied on them forfood and shelter were destroyed. He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door. He did not notice salt seepingto the surface of the land. He did not notice swamp plants choking all the nativeplants.”“What happened?” Martin asked. It was growing colder. He tremb led, twistinghis body closer to the fire.“The land hit back---- just as the old man warned,” Jack shrugged.“Dennis disappeared. Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him underwater. His body was never found. ”“What a stupid story, ” laughed Tom. “Plants can’t , ”Before he had finished speaking, he screamed and fainted ( 晕倒 ). The other two boys jumped up with fright, staring at Tom. Suddenly, they burst out laughing. Some green swamp ivy (常春藤) had covered Tom ’s face. It was a while before Tom could appreciate the joke.46.

The weatherfor50.What lesson can we learn from the story of Dennis?A.Grasp all, lose allB.No sweat, no sweet.C.It is no use crying over spilt milkD.He who makes no mistakes makes nothing.（C）Last night ’s meteor( 流星 )shower left many people in the community dissatisfied and demanding answers.According to Gabe Rothsclild,Emerald Valley ’s mayor,people gathered in the suburbs of the city,carrying heavy telescopes,expecting to watch the brightly burning meteors passing through the sky. What they found instead was a sky so brightened by the city’s lights that it darkened the light of the meteors passing overhead.“My family was so frustrated,” admitted town resident Duane Cosby,“We wanted to make this an unforgettable family outing, but it turned out to be a huge disappointments.”Astronomers---scientists who study stars and planets----have been complaining about this problem for decades.They say that light pollution prevents them from seeing objects in the sky that they could see quite easily inthe past. They call on people and the government to take measures to fight againstit.There is yet a population besides professional and amateur star observersthat suffers even more from light pollution. This population consists of birds,bats frogs,snakes,etc.For example,outdoor lighting severely affects migrating(迁移的 )birds.According to the International Dark- Sky Association.“100 million birds a year throughout North America die in crashes with lighted buildings and towers.”Countless more animals casualties(伤亡） result from the use of artificial lighting. Clearly, people enjoy the benefits of lighting their evenings, but somescientists think it can be harmful for humans, too.They worry that exposure to light while sleeping can increase person’s chances of getting cancer.Emerald Valley is only one community that is becoming aware of the negativeeffects of light pollution.For years,Flagstaff,Arizona,has enforced lighting regulations in its city in order to assist astronomers at theLowell Observatory. Similar efforts have been made worldwide, and a movementis underway to remind us to turn off lights when we are not using them, so thatother creatures can share the night.51.It happened last night thatA.the city ’s lights affected the meteor watchingB. the meteors flew past before being noticedC. the city light show attracted many peopleD. the meteor watching ended up a social outing52. What do the astronomers complain about?A. Meteor showers occur less often than beforeB. Their observation equipment is in poor repairC.Light pollution has remained unsolved for yearsD. Their eyesight is failing due to art ificial lighting53.What the author concerned about according to Paragraph 4?A. Birds may take other migration pathsB. Animals ’ living habits may change suddenlyC.Varieties of animals will become sharply reducedD. Animals ’ survival is threatened by outdoor lighting54. Lighting regulations in Flagstaff, Arizona are put into effect toA. Lessen the chance of getting cancerB. create an ideal observation conditionC. ensure citizens a good sleep at nightD. enable all creatures to live in harmony55. What message does the author most want to give us?A. Saving wildlife is saving ourselvesB. Great efforts should be made to save energyC.Human activities should be environmentally friendlyD. New equipment should be introduced for space study(D)Many people think that listening is a passive business. It is just the opposite. Listening well is an active exercise of our attention and hard work. It is becausethey do not realize this, or because they are not willing to do the work, that most people do not listen well.Listening well also requires total concentration upon someone else. An essential part of listening well is the rule known as ‘bracketing ’. Bracketing includes the temporary giving up or setting aside of your own prejudices and desires,to experience as far as possible someone else ’s world from the inside,stepping into his or her shoes. Moreover, since listening well involves bracketing, it alsoinvolves a temporary acceptance of the other person. Sensing this acceptance, thespeaker will seem quite willing to open up the inner part of his or her mind to the listener.True communication is under way and the energy required for listening well is so great that it can be accomplished only by the will to extend oneself for mutual growth.Most of the time we lack this energy. Even though we may feel in our businessdealings or social relationships that we are listening well, what we are usuallydoing is listening selectively. Often we have a prepared list in mind and wonder, as we listen, how we can achieve certain desired results to get the conversationover as quickly as possible or redirected in ways more satisfactory to us. Many ofus are far more interested in talking than in listening,or we simply refuse to listen to what we don ’t want to hear.It wasn’t until toward the end of my doctor career that I have found the knowledge that one is being truly listened to is frequently therapeutic(有疗效的) In about a quarter of the patients I saw,surprising improvement was shown during the firstfew months of psychotherapy(心理疗法),before any of the roots of problems had been uncovered or explained. There are several reasons for this phenomenon, but chiefamong them, I believe, was the patient’s sense that he or she was being truly listened to, often for the first time in years, and for some, perhaps for the first time ever.56.The phrase“stepping into his or her shoes” in paragraph 2 probably means_______.A.preparing a topic list firstB. focusing on one’s own mindC. directing the talk to the desired resultsD. experiencing the speaker’s inside world57. What is mainly discussed in Paragraph 2 ?A.How to listen well.C.B. What to listen to.Benefits oflistening.D. Problems in listening58. According to the author , in communication people tend to ________.A.activelylistenB.listen purposefullyC.set aside their prejudicesD. open up their inner mind59. According to the author , the patients improved mainly because _______.A.they were taken good of.they were truly listened to.C.they had partners to to.care B. they knewtalkD. theyknew the roots of problems.60. What type of writing the article likely to be ?A. Science fictionB. A newsreport.C.
