Sociologist Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much more. ks**5uLewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping the families while they ateordinary meals in their own homes. They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children. But as the number of children gets larger, conversation gives way to the parents’ efforts to control the loud noise they make. That can have an important effect on the children. “In general the more question-asking the parents do, the higher the children’s IQ scores,” Lewis says. “And the more children ther e are, the less question-asking there is.”The study also provides an explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their siblings(兄弟姐妹). Lewis found that in families with three or four children, dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child, who has the most to talk about, and the youngest, who needs the most attention. “Middle children are invisible.” Says Lewis. “When you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner, chances are it’s the middle child.” There is, however, one thing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from having attention: “When the TV is on,” Lewis says, “dinner is a non-event.”1. The writer’s purpose in writing the text is to ______ .A. show the relationship between parents and childrenB. teach parents ways to keep order at the dinner tableC. report on the findings of a studyD. give information about family problems2. By saying “Middle children are invisible” in paragrap h 3, Lewis means that middle children______ .A. have to help their parents to serve dinnerB. get the least attention from the familyC. are often kept away from the dinner tableD. find it hard to keep up with other children3. Parents with large families ask fewer questions at dinner because ______ .A. they are busy serving food to their childrenB. they are busy keeping order at the dinner tableC. they have to pay more attention to younger childrenD. they are tired out having prepared food for the whole family4. Lewis research provides an answer to the question ______ .A. Why TV is important in family ks**5uB. why parents should keep good orderC. why children in small families seem to be quietD. why middle children seem to have more difficulties in life5. Which of the following statements would the writer agree to?A. It is important to have the right food for children.B. It is a good idea to have the TV on during dinner.C. Parents should talk to each of their children frequently.D. Elder children should help the younger ones at dinner.答案 CBBDC阅读2I was not quite seventeen when I decided to join the US Marine Corps．My mother tried her best to talk me out of my dream, and then finally signed the papers that would permit me to enter theservice．One day, nearly two years after the Philippines became my home, I was summoned to the office of Lieutenant（海军上尉）Colonel Boyd．He seemed to be a kind man, but I was pretty sure that he hadn't called me in to pass the time of day．Standing before his desk, I waited nervously as he read through some paperwork．Then he looked up．“Why, Private, haven't you written to your mother for more than six months？”I felt weak in my knees．Has it been that long? I thought．“I didn't have anything to say, Sir．”Lieutenant Colonel Boyd told me that my mother had contacted the American Red Cross, which in turn communicated with my commanding officer about my failure to write．Then he asked, “Do you see that desk, Private？”“Yes, Sir．”“Open the top drawer and you'll find some paper and a pen．Sit down right this minute and find something to say to your mother．”“Yes, Sir．”When I finished a brief letter, I stood before him again．“Private, I'm ordering you to find something to say to your mother at least once a week．Do you understand？” I did．Some thirty-five years later, my aged mother's mental condition was deteriorating, and I was forced to place her in a convalescent home（疗养所）．As I went through her belongings, I began inspecting the contents of an old cedar chest．At the bottom, tied with a bright red ribbon, I found a bundle of letters．They were the letters I had been ordered to write from the Philippines．I sat on the floor of her apartment that afternoon reading each one, tears streaming down my cheeks．I now realized how deeply, as a young man, had upset her by my lack of consideration．The lesson I learned may have been too late to help my mother, but it's still done me good．These days I don't need a commanding officer standing over me to write to my loved ones on a regular basis．1．When the writer decided to join the US Marine Corps, his mother ________．A．felt very happyB．did not agree with him at the very beginningC．thought he was dreamingD．permitted him to enter the service2．“．．．he hadn't called me in to pass the time of day．” means that ________．A．he was too busy to have time to talk with meB．he must have something serious to talk with meC．he wanted to know how I passed the time of dayD．he had called me to spend more time with my mother3．Why did Lieutenant Colonel Boyd order the writer to write to his mother?A．Because he was always strict with his soldiers．B．Because he got a letter of complain from the mother．C．Because soldiers must write to their parents at least once a week．D．Because the Cross informed him about the author's failure to write．4．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A．Where the US Marine Corps are．B．When the writer joined the US Marine Corps．C．How old the mother was when she was placed in a convalescent home．D．Why the writer placed his mother in a convalescent home．5．Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A．The writer now realized that he should write to his wife regularly．B．The writer had been in the US Marine Corps for nearly two years．C．The writer had decided to stay with his mother in the convalescent home．D．The writer's lack of consideration led to his mother's deteriorating mental condition．答案 BBDCA阅读3Young women are more adventurous than young men when travelling abroad in gap years．One in three female backpackers visits more than three countries during a year out and travels alone, according to new research．By contrast, the majority of their male counterparts visit only one country and tend to travel in groups, says a survey by the Gap Year company, which provides information and services for students considering taking a year out．More women than men say that their prime reason for taking time off is to see the world and experience different cultures．Men were more likely to rank “having fun” highe r on their list of priorities．Women were more likely to value the challenge of a foreign trip, and many cited reasons such as learning a language and meeting new people．The more adventurous gap years taken by women seem to work to their benefit; more than three quarters of those surveyed reported increased confidence, self-reliance and independence, whereas only half of the men had that experience．The research also showed that women were more likely to do voluntary work while travelling, with more than one in ten helping with teaching or development projects．One of the reasons given for this is a wish to see the country in an authentic light．A greater proportion of women than men faced objections or criticism from their families over their gap-year plans．Among the men surveyed, lack of money was the main barrier to travel．Carolyn Martin, a doctor from London, was a typically confident female traveller．Starting in Cape Town, she travelled around southern Africa and Australia with a string of unusual and sometimes dangerous jobs．“I had one job chasing elephants off the runway in Africa by banging a stick against a pan，” she recalled．“It was OK but one day I did get chased by one．”She said that she had travelled alone because “you meet more people”．1．By referring to “gap year” the writer means ________．A．a gap you come across after leaving high schoolB．a time when you are caught in a dilemma between work and studyC．a period before you find a job upon your graduation from collegeD．a year off between high school and college for certain purposes2．According to the article, ________．A．most of the women students will travel abroad during the summer holidaysB．one third of the women students will travel abroad in a yearC．women students are more likely to travel abroad alone in gap yearsD．women students are willing to travel abroad in a group3．In the third paragraph, the underlined word “priorities” most probably means ________．A．selections B．Attractions C．preferences D．projects 4．Which of the following statements is TRUE?A．Men students will travel less during the gap year because of their part-time jobs．B．Women students will travel more but face more objections．C．The article suggests that women travelling alone will have dangerous experiences．D．Men students prefer to travel inside their own country to going abroad．5．Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?A．Girls Get the Best out of Gap YearsB．Boys Lack Courage in Gap YearsC．For Fun or for Adventure?D．Young Women Are More Adventurous答案DCCBA阅读4A person may have an idea about himself that will prevent him from doing good work．He may have the idea that he is not capable of it．A child may think he is stupid because he does not understand how to make the most of his mental faculties（机能）, or he may accept another person's mistaken estimate（评价）of his ability．Older people may be handicapped（阻碍）by the mistaken belief that they are incapable of learning anything new because of their age．A person who believes that he is incapable will not make a real effort, because he feels that it would be useless．He won't go at a job with the confidence necessary for success．He is therefore likely to fail, and the failure will strengthen his belief in his incompetence．Alfred Adler, a famous doctor, had an experience which illustrates this．When he was a small boy he got off to a poor start in arithmetic．His teacher got the idea that he had no ability in arithmetic, and told his parents what she thought in order that they would not expect too much of him．In this way, they too developed the idea, “Isn't it too bad that Alfred can't do arithmetic？” He accepted their mistaken estimate of his ability, felt that it was useless to try，and was very poor at arithmetic, just as they expected．One day Adler succeeded in solving a problem which none of the other students had been able to solve．This gave him confidence．He rejected the idea that he couldn't do arithmetic and was determined to show them that he could．His new-found confidence stimulated him to go at arithmetic problems with a new spirit．He now worked with interest, determination and purpose, and he soon became extraordinary good at arithmetic．This experience made him realize that many people have more ability than they think they have, and that lack of success is as often the result of lack of knowledge of how to apply one's ability, lack of confidence, and lack of determination as it is the result of lack of ability．1．Why might a person be prevented from doing good work? ________．A．Because he thinks he is old enough to make the most of his mental facilitiesB．Because he accepts another person's mistaken estimate of his abilityC．Because he has the idea that he is incapable of doing everythingD．Because he believes in what other people think of him2．A person who believes in his low ability will ________．A．spare no efforts to do thingsB．fail to go at a job but never lose heartC．change to learn other course instead of mathematicsD．show complete lack of confidence3．As a boy, Alfred Adler was poor at arithmetic because ________．A．he lost his self-confidenceB．he was weak in thinkingC．his parents expected too much of himD．his teacher had no confidence in herself4．Which of the following is the most important factor to Alder's success？________ A．Spirit and experienceB．Interest and self-respectC．Confidence and determinationD．Purpose and knowledge5．Alder's experience made him realize that ________．A．people are not as capable as they thinkB．people can be more capable than they thinkC．lack of confidence leads to failureD．lack of ability results in lack of determination答案BDACB完型填空：阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Paintings by Ruby, an Asian elephant who lived at the Phoenix Zoo in Arizona, sold for up to $5,000 in the late 1980s, said Dick George, a consultant with the zoo. "Ruby was about seven months old when she first came to the zoo", said George. "She lived with a goat and some chickens, but she didn"t have an elephant companion for a number ofyears. She spent a lot of time drawing in the dirt with a stick to make her days more stimulating. Her keeper bought her some art supplies". George said, ", Ruby was excited about painting right from the beginning". The elephants at the art academies in the Southeast Asia are taught to hold a paintbrush with the tip of their trunks. Initially, the keeper guides the elephant"s trunk over the canvas(画布) and offers rewards for good performance. "It only takes a few hours to a day to teach them", said Mia Fineman, an art historian whose book When Elephants Paint is an illustrated history of the Asian Elephant Art and Conservation Project.第11题Ruby was an Asian elephant ______.A.who was sold for a price as high as $5,000B.who was famous for being the first painting elephantC.whose paintings sold for as high as $5,000D.who started painting in the late 1980s第12题Why did Ruby start painting according to Dick George?A.Because she was seven years old.B.Because she was the first to come to the zoo.C.Because she learned a lot from the goat and the chickens.D.Because she had no elephant partners to play with.第13题How did Ruby paint at the very beginning?A.She used a stick to draw in the dirt.B.She spent much time in the dirt.C.She stimulated herself every day.D.She painted with her keeper"s art supplies.第14题To encourage the elephants to paint well, the keeperA.bought them a lot of art suppliesB.made them excited at the beginningC.taught them to hold a paintbrush with their trunksD.reinforced the desired behaviors with rewards第15题When Elephants Paint is a book ______.A.on the history of artsB.about the painting elephants in AsiaC.explaining how to teach elephants to paintD.chiefly theorizing about elephant art上一题下一题(16~20/共20题)阅读理解While it is true that Americans believe climbing the educational ladder leads to success, they are less certain that intellectual achievement is the only important factor leading to success. A competitive personality is seen as important to success, especially in men. The development of social and political skills is also considered to be very important. To help Americans develop these other important skills, schools have added a large number of extracurricular(课程外)activities to daily life at school. This is especially tree of high schools and colleges and extends down into elementary schools as well. Athletics, frequently called "competitive sports", are perhaps the most important of these activities. Football, basketball, and baseball teams are seen as very important in teaching students, particularly boys, the "winning spirit". At times, athletic teams seem to become more important to some students and their parents than the academic programs offered by the schools.第16题Americans believe that education is ______.A.the only way to successB.the main purpose of the schoolsC.just like climbing laddersD.important to success第17题Which of the following is NOT mentioned as important to success?A.intellectual achievementpetitive personalityC.social backgroundsD.social and political skills第18题A variety of extracurricular activities are added in American schools ______.A.to help students climb the education ladderB.to enrich students" dull life at schoolC.to help students become more successful in later lifeD.to extend college education down into elementary schools第19题Athletic activities are designed ______.A.to make boys strongerB.to teach students winning spiritC.to develop students" social and political skillsD.to improve the academic programs第20题Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?cation and SuccessB.Extracurricular Activities at SchoolC.Athletic SportsD.Intellectual Achievement上一题下一题(21~25/共20题)阅读理解People once widely believed that intelligent life existed on Mars. The 19th-century discovery of what appeared to be geometric designs cut across the surface was taken as evidence. The lines were thought to have been a system of canals that had been built to irrigate the surface. It is now clear that "canals"—perhaps the most spectacular geologic features of Mars—are natural valleys where ancient rivers once flowed. Another fragmented idea concerns the planet"s seasonal changes in color. Once attributed to the rapid spread of some life-form, these shifts are nowknown to develop from the movement of fine dust in the atmosphere. By the close of the 20th century none of the many experiments conducted by spacecraft had ever found persuasive evidence of life. Nevertheless, speculation continued over the existence of some form of life, in either the present or the past. In 1996 scientists discovered organic compounds and minerals in a meteorite(陨石), consisting of Martian rock, that collided with Earth around 11,000 B.C. These compounds suggest that Mars may have been inhabited by organisms more than three billion years ago.第21题Why did people in the 19th century believe the existence of intelligent life on Mars?A.Because the surface of Mars seemed to be geometric.B.Because the lines were drawn across the surface of the planet.C.Because a system of canals was thought to be there.D.Because it was the Martians that built the canals.第22题The "canals" on Mars have proved to be ______ according to the passage.A.the minor geologic characteristic of MarsB.natural valleys on the surface of MarsC.rivers that have kept flowing since ancient timesD.a system that irrigates the whole surface第23题What were the Mars" seasonal changes in color believed to be?A.The natural changes on the planet.B.The seasonal cycles.C.The movement of some life form.D.The storm of dust in its atmosphere.第24题How is the 1996 discovery related to the possible existence of organisms on Mars?A.The meteorite containing organic compounds is part of Mars.B.A Martian rock struck Earth about 11,000 years ago.C.The organisms came back to life after the collision with Earth.D.The inhabiting organisms appeared more than three billion years ago.第25题How many arguments in this passage lead to the belief of the existence of life on Mars?A.Two.B.Three.C.Four.D.Five.上一题下一题(26~30/共20题)阅读理解Weather Forecast The following forecast shows for the listed cities the projected weather conditions and the expected range of temperatures from the afternoon high to the evening low. 图片第26题According to the forecast, ______.A.Kansas City will be warmer than TorontoB.temperatures will be the lowest in Seattle and MinneapolisC.the weather will be fine in most of the listed citiesD.more than half of the listed cities ore cloudy or rain likely第27题Among the following four cities, the difference between the afternoon high and the evening low is smallest in ______.A.Kansas CityB.MiamiC.AtlantaD.Seattle第28题Which of the following cities is closest m Miami in weather conditions?A.BostonB.AtlantaC.WashingtonD.Houston第29题The difference between the afternoon high and the evening low is greatest in ______.A.SeattleB.Los Angeless VegasD.Phoenix第30题The differences between the afternoon high and the evening low are the same in ______.A.Chicago, Dallas, Kansas City, and St. LouisB.Atlanta, San Francisco, New Orleans, and SeattleC.Cleveland, Dallas, St. Louis, and Washington,D.C.D.Pittsburg, Miami, Houston, and Boston上一题下一题(31~40/共10题)完型填空How much sleep does a person need?【B1】the physiological bases of the need for sleep remain conjectural(猜想), rendering conclusive answers to this question impossible, much evidence has been gathered on how much sleep people do in fact obtain.

It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set updangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself. Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are severe over times of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child"s own happiness. As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality(道德). Also, parents should realize that "example is better than precept". If they are not sincere and do not practise what they preach(说教), their children may grow confused, and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled. A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents" principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.第11题Eagerly watching the child"s acquisition of new skills______.A.should be avoidedB.is universal among parentsC.sets up dangerous states of worry in the childD.will make him lose interest in learning new things第12题In the process of children"s learning new skills parents______.A.should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they readB.should not expect too much of themC.should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their ownD.should create as many learning opportunities as possible第13题The second paragraph mainly tells us that______.A.parents should be strict with their childrenB.parental controls reflect only the needs of the parents and the values of the communityC.parental restrictions vary, and are not always enforced for the benefit of the children aloneD.parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situation第14题The word "precept"(Para. 3) probably means"______"A.ideaB.punishmentC.behaviourD.instruction第15题In moral matters, parents should______.A.observe the rules themselvesB.be aware of the marked difference between adults and childrenC.forbid things which have no foundation in moralityD.consistently ensure the security of their children上一题下一题(16~20/共20题)阅读理解图片第16题The service in the first advertisement is directed to the following EXCEPT ______.A.contract organizationsB.real estate companiesC.individual personsD.special construction companies第17题The services provided in the first advertisement do not include ______.A.demolishing housesB.cleaning up construction sitesC.transporting machinesD.headache curing第18题Golden Touch Construction is ______.A.a private companyB.a national agencyC.an international cooperationD.charge-free organization第19题Services provided by Golden Touch Construction include ______.A.kitchen decorationB.bathroom buildingC.bar demolitionD.house purchase第20题Both ads promised to provide ______.A.insuranceB.cheap priceC.free estimatesD.free designing上一题下一题(21~25/共20题)阅读理解Concern with money, and then more money, in order to buy the conveniences and luxuries of modern life, has brought great changes to the lives of most Frenchmen. More people are working than ever before in France. In the cities the traditional leisurely midday meal is disappearing. Offices, shops and factories are discovering the greater efficiency of a short lunch hour in company lunchrooms. In almost all lines of work emphasis now falls on ever-increasing output. Thus the "typical" Frenchman produces more, earns more, and buys more consumer goods than his counterpart of only a generation ago. He gains in creature comforts and ease of life. What he loses to some extent is his sense of personal uniqueness, or individuality. Some say that France has been Americanized. This is because the United States is a world symbol of thetechnological society and its consumer products. The so-called Americanization of France has its critics. They fear that "assembly-line life" will lead to the disappearance of the pleasures of the more graceful and leisurely old French style. What will happen, they ask, to taste, elegance, and the cultivation of the good things in life-to joy in the smell of a freshly picked apple, a stroll by the river, or just happy hours of conversation in a local cafe? Since the late 1940"s life in France has indeed taken on qualities of rush, tension, and the pursuit of material gain. Some of the strongest critics of the new way of life are the young, especially university students. They are concerned with the future, and they fear that France is threatened by the triumph of the competitive, goods-oriented culture. Occasionally, they have reacted against the trend with considerable violence. In spite of the critics, however, countless Frenchmen are committed to keeping France in the forefront of the modem economic world. They find that the present life brings more rewards, conveniences, and pleasures than that of the past. They believe that a modern, industrial France is preferable to the old.第21题Which of the following is not given as a feature of the old French way of life?A.Leisure.B.Elegance.C.Efficiency.D.Tast第22题Which of the following is not related to the new French way of life?A.Shorter lunch hour.B.Greater output.C.Creature comfort.D.Leisurely cafe talk.第23题Nowadays few Frenchmen ______.A.prefer the modern life styleB.actually enjoy working at the assembly lineC.are more concerned with money than in the pastD.are more competitive than the old generation第24题The passage suggests that ______.A.in pursuing material gains the Frenchmen are suffering losses elsewhereB.it"s now unlikely to see a Frenchman enjoying a stroll by the riverC.the French are fed up with the smell of freshly picked applesD.great changes have occurred in the life style of all Frenchmen第25题Which of the following best states the main idea of the passage?A.Changes in the French way of life.B.Criticism of the new life style.C.The Americanization of France.D.Features of the new way of lif上一题下一题。

One theory claims that prehistoric birds of the Northern Hemisphere were forced south during the Ice Age. As the glaciers melted, the birds came back to their homelands, spent the summer, and then went south again as the ice advanced in winter. In time, the migration became a habit in spite of the disappearance of glaciers.Another theory proposes that the ancestral home of all modem birds was the tropics. When the region became overpopulated, many species were crowded north. During the summer, there was plenty of food, but during the winter, scarcity forced them to return to the tropics.A more recent theory suggests a relationship between increasing daylight and the stimulation of certain glands (腺) inthe birds' bodies that may prepare them for migration. One scientist has been able to cause midwinter migrations by exposing birds to artificial periods of daylight. He has concluded that changes occur in the bodies of birds due to seasonal changes in the length of daylight.第11题：According to one theory, when the glaciers disappeared, birds ______.A.stopped migratingB.continued migratingC.stayed in the northD.migrated south and stayed there第12题：The author states that birds left the tropics because ______.A.there was not enough food there in the winterB.there were too many birdsC.there were too many glaciersD.there was too much daylight第13题：Why did one scientist expose birds to artificial daylight?A.To test the relationship between daylight and a disease of the glands common to birds.B.To test the relationship between daylight and migration.C.To test the relationship between migration and temperature.D.To test the relationship between daylight and changes in the season.第14题：According to the theory of photo-periodism, ______.A.birds should migrate in the middle of the winterB.longer days cause changes in the bodies of birdsC.seasonal changes in the length of days do not affect migrationD.increasing daylight increases the distance of migrationThis passage supports the belief that ______.A.exact reasons for migration are not knownB.birds migrate because of changes in temperatureC.the ancestral home of all birds was the tropicsD.glaciers caused birds to migrateIn Guangzhou, capital of South China's Guangdong Province, Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport resumed its international flights to Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines and other Southeast Asian nations and regions early this month, said an airport official yesterday. And the airport's flow of international passengers for July has reached 80 per cent of the figure for the corresponding month of the previous year.Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport had to cancel some international services to Southeast Asian nations and regions because of the outbreak of SARS beginning in April, the official said. The official predicted his airport's international service would return to normal operation and handle even more international passengers in August.Currently, the Guangzhou airport is operating 22 international flights to 20 foreign metropolises. And nine foreign airlines have resumed their international flights to the airport.第16题：In July Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport resumed its international service to ______.A.the whole worldB.only four southeastern nationsC.the Southeast Asian nationsD.all Asian nations第17题：The airport's flow of international passengers for July is ______ the figure for the corresponding month of the previous year.A.20% ofB.20% less thanC.80% more thanD.80% less than第18题：Because of the outbreak of SARS, the airport ______.A.reduced its service to some regionsB.reduced its service to all regionsC.reduced its service to some areas while adding to some other regionsD.canceled all its services to southeast Asian countriesWhich of the following is true?A.The international service in August would be as much as in July.B.The flow of international passengers will be more than that in July.C.The airport will provide less service than in July.D.The flow of international passengers will be more than that in usual time.第20题：The report is mainly aboutA.the operation of Guangzhou Baiyun International AirportB.where people should go to visit after SARSC.the prediction of what will happen to transport and tourism after SARSD.the resuming service in Guangzhou Baiyun International AirportIt is curious how often sympathy for the old and infirm takes a form which actually humiliates them. Their friends, with good will, sometimes lean forward to rearrange their neckwear, touching their hair or patting their faces--things they would never presume to do, unasked, to one of their contemporaries. An equally humiliating habit is to talk about old people in front of them as if they were not there, discussing their health.It is now universally accepted that children should be encouraged to do as much as they can for themselves in order to develop their brains and muscles, but so few people today seem to have time to allow the elderly the same means of keeping their minds and muscles active. They perform innumerable services for the old that they would be much better left to do, even with a struggle, for themselves.Convenient flats, "motherly" visitors, or organized entertainments cannot make up for the fundamental need which must be satisfied--the need to retain to the end of life human dignity and the respect of one's fellows.第21题：Many people are not aware that it is rather rude to ______.A.talk casually about old people in front of them as if they were not thereB.show sympathy for the oldC.take care of the old when they are not illD.pat the faces of the contemporaries第22题：According to the passage the old would very much like to ______.A.live aloneB.live in comfortable and well-run homesC.be treated as adults instead of babiesD.get unselfish help from their friends and relatives第23题：The author suggests that ______.A.much sympathy will inevitably humiliate the oldB.kindness and unselfish help are not necessarily what the old needC.the old should be left to do whatever they want by themselvesD.to the old, the friends' and relatives' respect is, at least, as important as their concern第24题：If the old are left to do as much as they can for themselves, ______.A.they may keep human dignity and enjoy the respect of the fellowsB.they won't feel hurt or humiliatedC.they will be able to develop their brains and musclesD.they will be able to keep their minds and muscles active第25题：The passage is mainly about that ______.A.improper care and concern may do more harm than good to the oldB.how to take good care of the old in different waysC.nowadays many people are not respectful enough to the oldD.old people are just like children, who are difficult to satisfyON DEMAND BUSINESS.IN DEMAND PEOPLE.CAREERS IN IBM ARE ALL ABOUT OPPORTUNITIESWorld leading multinational IT company.

For each of them, there are four choices marked A, B, C, and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.（分数：10.00）__________________________________________________________________________________________ Happiness is becoming a huge area in psychological research and even in government policy, with the UK government exploring a "happiness index. " It"s tough, though, to define exactly what happiness is, and what makes us happy. There are two broad ways of looking at happiness: short-term happiness(a great cookie, a bottle of wine)and long-term happiness(financial security, achieving your goals). Both types of happiness are valid, and important. The problem is, they"re often in competition. Let"s say you"ve got a goal of losing 50 pounds this year. You know you"d be happier and healthier if you weren"t carrying that extra weight. To achieve long-term happiness, you need to go on a diet. In the short-term, though, it"s not that easy. A chocolate cake, or a large glass of wine, might seem like just the thing to cheer you up at the end of a long day—or to celebrate with friends. It"s the same with lots of other goal. If you"ve got a tendency to prioritize long-term happiness at the expense of day-to-day pleasures, you should start looking for some small ways to bring a little joy back into your life. I"m not suggesting that you go out and get drunk every night, or that you stuff yourself with cake. There are plenty of other ways to enjoy yourself. Don"t pin all your hopes of happiness on some far-off future, though. There"s no point working a 60-hour week and making yourself thoroughly miserable in the belief that things will be perfect as soon as you"re making a six-figure salary.（分数：10.00）(1).A proper title for the passage is " ______. "（分数：2.00）A.Happy ThereafterB.Beyond HappinessC.Happiness In, Happiness OutD.Happy Now or in the Future?(2).Paragraph 2 is mainly about______.（分数：2.00）A.what makes us happyB.how to understand happinessC.how we can be happierD.what happiness can bring us(3).The example in Paragraph 3 is meant to emphasize that______.（分数：2.00）A.both short-term happiness and long-term happiness are importantB.we tend to seek short-term happiness instead of long-term happinessC.people prefer long-term happiness to short-term happinessD.short-term happiness may contradict long-term happiness(4).The word "prioritize"(last paragraph)probably means______.（分数：2.00）A.treat something as more important than othersB.improve something"s value or qualityC.put extra emphasis on somethingD.look for something that is difficult to find(5).The author suggests in the last paragraph that sacrificing short-term happiness for long-term happiness______.（分数：2.00）A.works wellB.can be justifiedC.is not worth whileD.makes no differenceThanks to the introduction of new drugs, many of the early problems in organ transplants, such as tissue rejection, have, to a great extent, now been solved. However, there remains a major problem. The people in need of transplant surgery far outnumber the available organs. Many countries, such as Britain, have huge waiting lists of people whose lives could be saved by being given a kidney, lung, heart, or liver transplant. Sadly, many of them die before they reach the top of those lists. Under the present British policy, people are asked to carry donor(捐赠人)cards, and/or put their names on the national donor register. Thus, if they lose their lives suddenly, for example, in a traffic accident, they have given permission in advance of their deaths for their organs to be used. If they have not done so, surgeons are faced with the task of asking the grieved relatives for permission to use the organs of the dead. Of course, often the relatives are too upset even to think of such a thing until it is too late. Organ transplants have to take place quite soon after the death of the donor. Dying and donating organs is not something most of us like to think about, and only about 14% of people have registered. Now it has been suggested that, instead of the present register, there should be a register of potential donors who haven"t made up their minds.（分数：10.00）(1).Nowadays a major problem in transplant surgery is______.（分数：2.00）A.the shortage of qualified doctorsB.the lack of transplant organsC.tissue rejectionD.immature techniques(2).It can be inferred from the passage that transplant organs most likely come from______.（分数：2.00）A.people who die in fatal accidentsB.criminals who are sentenced to deathC.patients who die from serious diseasesD.people who are mentally healthy(3).What is the advantage of registering in advance to donate organs?（分数：2.00）A.The transplant may take place soon after the death of the donor.B.The donor"s relatives would agree with the surgery.C.More people would choose donation of their organs after death.D.Surgeons will not be liable to any legal consequences.(4).The low percentage of people who have registered to donate organs indicates that______.（分数：2.00）A.the present register system doesn"t workB.dying and donating organs is an unpleasant issueC.very few people know how to donate their organsD.permission from relatives is hard to obtain(5).What has been proposed to get more donor organs?（分数：2.00）A.Asking more people to register to donate organs after death.B.Having more people carry donor cards when they get around.C.Encouraging more people to consider organ donation through registering.D.Getting more people to donate organs by offering huge monetary rewards.Recently, the American Heart Association surveyed 1, 000 people nationwide about their thoughts on sodium and heart health. 61% said that they believed sea salt was a low-sodium alternative to table salt. They can be forgiven for thinking so. Sea salt is marketed as a healthy food, added to soups, potato chips and a wide variety of packaged snacks labeled " low sodium, " "all natural"and "healthy. " But in reality, sea salt and table salt are not terribly different, at least chemically. The real differences are in how the two are used in cooking. Table salt comes from underground salt deposits. Companies that sell it typically add something to keep it from clumping(结块). During processing, table salt is stripped of many of its natural minerals. Sea salt, on the other hand, is made from evaporated seawater. With little processing, it retains most of its minerals, which some cooks say give it a better flavor. But both contain the same amount of sodium chloride(氯化的)by weight, which means they contribute equally to total sodium consumption and have the same effect on blood pressure. Officials recommend that adults consume no more than 2, 300 milligrams of sodium a day, equivalent to a teaspoon of salt. You should eat less if you are black, hypertensive(患高血压的)or older than 40. Yet most Americans consume more than double the amount they need, mostly from processed foods, so it is best to limit salt—of any kind.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the survey, more than half the people believe that______.（分数：2.00）A.table salt should be used in cookingB.it is necessary to eat sea saltC.sea salt is a high-sodium productD.sea salt is a healthier choice than table salt(2).The difference between table salt and sea salt lies in that table salt______.（分数：2.00）A.contains less natural minerals than sea saltB.forms clumps more easily than sea saltC.tastes better than sea saltD.goes through less processing than sea salt(3).The word "strip" in Para. 2 is closest in meaning to " ______. "（分数：2.00）A.breakB.addC.removeD.change(4).According to the passage, the proper amount of salt consumption is related to one"s______.（分数：2.00）A.appetiteB.ageC.sexD.weight(5).According to the passage, Americans______.（分数：2.00）A.consume much more salt than they actually needB.consume about 2, 300 milligrams of salt a dayC.prefer fresh food to salted processed foodD.try to limit their salt consumption of any kind10.00）(1).A proper title for the chart is " ______. "（分数：2.00）A.Schedule Chart for Job HuntingB.Flow Chart for Recruitment ProcessC.Descriptive Chart for an Open Positionanization Chart for a Hiring Company(2).The chart is probably designed for______.（分数：2.00）A.job applicantsB.school graduatesC.the company general managerD.the human resources department(3).What happens right after the interview?（分数：2.00）A.The company will review other interviewees.B.The company will notify those who get an offer.C.The applicants will confirm job offers with the company.D.The applicants will call in to check whether they get the offer.(4).A work contract is signed when______.（分数：2.00）A.all options have been consideredB.there is no more interviewee to reviewC.the applicant accepts the company"s offerD.the company finishes training for its new staff(5).What does "Com.

Environmentalists and concerned local residents, for instance, might immediately suspect environmental radiation as the culprit when a high incidence of cancer cases occurs near a nuclear facility. Epidemiologists, in contrast, would be more likely to say that the incidences were "inconclusive" or the result of pure chance. And when a breast cancer survivor, Lorraine Pace, mapped 20 breast cancer cases occurring in her West Islip, Long Island, community, her rudimentary research efforts were guided more by hope that a specific environmental agent could be correlated with the cancers than by scientific method.When epidemiologists study clusters of cancer cases and other noncontagious conditions such as birth defects or miscarriage, they take several variables into account, such as background rate (the number of people affected in the general population), cluster size, and specificity (any notable characteristics of the individual affected in each case). If a cluster is both large and specific, it is easier for epidemiologists to assign blame. Not only must each variable be considered on its own, but it must also be combined with others. Lung cancer is very common in the general population. Yet when a huge number of cases turned up among World War II shipbuilders who had all worked with asbestos, the size of the cluster and the fact that the men had had similar occupational asbestos exposures enabled epidemiologists to assign blame to the fibrous mineral.Although several known carcinogens have been discovered through these kinds of occupational or medical clusters, only one community cancercluster has ever been traced to an environmental cause. Health officials often discount a community's suspicion of a common environmental cause because citizens tend to include cases that were diagnosed before the afflicted individuals moved into the neighborhood. Add to this the problem of cancer's latency. Unlike an infectious disease such as cholera, which is caused by a recent exposure to food or water contaminated with the cholera bacterium, cancer may have its roots in an exposure that occurred 10 to 20 years earlier.Do all these caveats mean that the hard work of Lorraine Pace and other community activists is for nothing? Not necessarily. Together with many other reports of breast cancer clusters on Long Island, the West Islip situation highlighted by Pace has helped epidemiologists lay the groundwork for a well designed scientific study.第16题：The "hope" mentioned in Paragraph 1 refers specifically to Pace's desire to______.A.help reduce the incidence of breast cancer in future generationsB.improve her chances of surviving breast cancerC.determine the cause responsible for her own breast cancer caseD.identify a particular cause for the breast cancer cases in West Islip第17题：The case of the World War II shipbuilders with lung cancer is an example of______.A.an occupational clusterB.a medical clusterC.a radiation clusterD.an environmental cluster第18题：The passage suggests that the fact that "only one community cancer cluster bas ever been traced to all environmental cause" (in the third paragraph) is most likely due to the______.A.methodological difficulties in analyzing community cancer clustersB.reluctance of epidemiologists to investigate environmental factors in cancerck of credibility of citizen activists in claiming to have identified cancer agentsD.effectiveness of regulations restricting the use of carcinogens in residential areas第19题：Activists may mistakenly consider a particular incidence of cancer as part of a community cluster despite the fact that______.A.the affected individual never worked with any carcinogenic materialB.the cancer was actually caused by a long-ago exposureC.the size of the cluster is too small to be meaningfulD.the cancer actually arose in a different geographic location第20题：The word "caveats" (in the last paragraph) refers to______.A.refusals by epidemiologists to examine the work of Pace and other activistsB.potential flaws in amateur studies of cancer clusterC.warnings by activists concerning environmental dangers in their communitiesD.tendencies of activists to assume environmental causes for cancerIn the same way that a child must be able to move his arms and legs before he can learn to walk, the child must physiologically be capable of producing and experiencing particular emotions before these emotions can be modified through learning. Psychologists have found that there are two basic processes by which learning takes place. One kind of learning is called "classical conditioning." This occurs when one event or stimulus is continuously followed by a reward or punishment. It is through classical conditioning that a child learns to associate his mother's face and voice with happiness and love, for he learns that this person provides food and comfort. Negative emotions are learned in a similar fashion.The second kind of learning is called "operant (动作的) conditioning." This occurs when an individual learns to do things that produce rewards in his environment and learns not to do things that produce punishments. For example, if a mother always attends to her baby when he cries and cuddles him until he is quiet, she may teach him that if he cries he will get attention from mother. Thus, the baby will learn to increase his crying in order to have his mother more.第21题：The main purpose of this passage is to ______.A.teach children how to learn to produce and experience certain emotionsB.give the common reader a general description of two basic kinds of learningC.give parents some advice on how to modify their children's emotions through learningD.discuss with psychologists how positive and negative feelings are produced第22题：If a child is bitten or startled several times by a dog, he may learn toassociate furry (有毛皮的) animals with pain or startle and thus develop a fear of furry animals. This is a typical example of learning through ______.A.classical conditioningB.operant conditioningC.both A and BD.neither A nor B第23题：If your jokes often find a ready echo in a person, you will learn through ______ that telling jokes to this person is fun, and you will try with greater efforts to be humorous in his presence.A.classical conditioningB.operant conditioningC.neither A nor BD.some other sorts of conditioning第24题：The word "cuddle" in Para. 2 most probably means ______.A.persuadeB.hold close and lovelyC.threatenD.shout at第25题：How can a mother help the baby to cry less?A.Cuddle the baby until he is quiet.B.Leave the baby alone.C.Do not always attend to the baby.D.Teach the baby not to cry.The rise of multinational corporations (跨国公司), global marketing, new communications technologies, and shrinking cultural differences have 1ed to an unparalleled increase in global public relations or PR.Surprisingly, since modem PR was largely an American invention, the U.S. leadership in public relations is being threatened by PR efforts in other countries. Ten years ago, for example, the world's top five public relations agencies were American-owned. In 1991, only one was. The British in particular are becoming more sophisticated and creative. A recent survey found that more than half of all British companies include PR as part of their corporate (公司的) planning activities, compared to about one-third of U.S. companies. It may not be long before London replaces New York as the capital of PR.Why is America lagging behind in the global PR race? First,Americans as a whole tend to be fairly provincial and take more of an interest in local affairs. Knowledge of world geography, for example, has never been strong in this country. Secondly, Americans lag behind their European and Asian counterparts (相对应的人) in knowing a second language. Less than 5 percent of Burson-Marshall's U.S. employees know two languages. Ogilvy and Mather has about the same percentage. Conversely, some European firms have half or more of their employees fluent in a second language. Finally, people involved irt PR abroad tend to keep a closer eye on international affairs. In the financial PR area, for instance, most Americans read the Wall Street Journal. Overseas, their counterparts read the Journal as well as the Financial Times of London and The Economist, publications not often read in this country.Perhaps the PR industry might take a lesson from Ted Turner of CNN(Cable News Network). Turner recently announced that the word "foreign" would no longer be used on CNN news broadcasts. According to Turner, global communications have made the nations of the world so interdependent that there is no longer any such thing as foreign.第26题：According to the passage, U.S. leadership in public relations is being threatened becauseA.an unparalleled increase in the number of public relations companiesB.shrinking cultural differences and new communications technologiesC.the decreasing number of multinational corporations in the U.S.D.increased efforts of other countries in public relations第27题：London could soon replace New York as the center of PR because ______.A.British companies are more ambitious than U.S. companiesB.British companies place more importance on PR than U.S. companiesC.British companies are heavily involved in planning activitiesD.four of the world's top public relations agencies are British-owned第28题：The word "provincial" (Line 2, Para. 3) most probably means" ______".A.limited in outlookB.like people from the provincesC.rigid in thinkingD.interested in world financial affairs第29题：We learn from the third paragraph that employees in the American PR industry ______.A.speak at least one foreign language fluentlyB.are ignorant about world geographyC.are not as sophisticated as their European counterpartsD.enjoy reading a great variety of English business publications第30题：What lesson might the PR industry take from Ted Turner of CNN?A.American PR companies should be more internationally-minded.B.The American PR industry should develop global communications technologies.C.People working in PR should be more fluent in foreign languages.D.People involved in PR should avoid Using the word "foreign".完型填空As the plane circled over the airport, everyone sensed that something was wrong.

Green building can also refer to environmentally friendly houses, factories, and offices. Buildings account for 65 percent of total U.S. electricity use. But green buildings can reduce energy and water use. Also, the buildings are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways, so that people can drive their cars less. That could be good for the environment, because cars use lots of natural resources such as gasoline, and give off pollution. Green buildings are often built on previously developed land, so that the buildings don"t destroy forests or other wild habitats(栖息地). Malty Dettling is a project manager for a building that puts these ideas into action. The Solaire has been called the country"s first green residential high-rise building. According to Dettling, "We"ve reduced our energy consumption by one-third and our water by 50 percent". Not everyone is leaping to move into a green building, however. Some people think that features such as solar panels cost more money than more traditional energy sources. Despite this, Dettling hopes that green buildings will become common in the future. "It"s going to be big", she said.第11题What does green building refer to nowadays?A.Buildings painted by green hands.B.Buildings covered with green plants.C.Buildings that are environmentally-friendly.D.Buildings like houses, factories, and offices.第12题The word "Also"(Line 2, Para. 2) is used to ______.A.continue the discussion of total U.S. electricity useB.expand the topic of reduction of energy and water useC.include the discussion of public transportationD.shift the focus to the topic of the environment protection第13题In terms of land use, green buildings are constructed by ______.A.making use of developed landB.developing new landC.clearing the ground in a forestD.draining wild habitats第14题Why are some people not so enthusiastic about green buildings?A.Because they do not jump into green building.B.Because they fail to move into a green building.C.Because they find it more costly to live in a green building.D.Because they think that solar panels still cost too much.第15题What did Marty Dettling mean when she said, "It"s going to be big?"A.Green buildings have a great potential.B.People expect bigger green buildings.C.Green buildings will be larger in size.D.People prefer to live in bigger buildings.上一题下一题Theme-park-bound bargain seekers would be wise to spend some time surfing online before they get in line at the parks this summer. A growing number of these attractions now allow customers to print e-tickets at home with large discounts off the gate price, in part to spur attendance that has declined in recent years. After boom times in the late 1990s, theme park attendance began to decrease, with an overall decline of about 40% over the past few years at North America"s 50 most-visited establishments, says James Zoitak, editor of Amusement Business. "The boom was off the rose as we turned the comer into 2000, so there"s more discounting now", he says. Discounting isn"t new to an industry that has longer partnered with other commercial enterprises, such as soft drink companies, to offer deals. But e-ticketing adds a new opportunity that not only brings savings but convenience as well, since it allows visitors to avoid the line at the gate. "If you can get in early before the lines fill up, you"re getting more for your money", says Robert Niles of the website Theme Park Insider.第16题The word "attractions"(Line 1, Para. 2) refers to ______.A.theme parksB.bargainsC.e-ticketsD.discounts第17题Why do more and more theme parks offer large discounts off the gate price?A.To get in line at the parks this summer.B.To encourage more people to come to the parks.C.To enable people to get e-tickets at home.D.To reduce the attendance figure.第18题What does the sentence "The boom was off the rose" mean?A.The rose in the theme park was out of bloom.B.The year 2000 was lucky for the 50 establishments.C.The theme park attendance was like the rose.D.The best time for the theme parks was gone.第19题What is the new opportunity e-ticketing brings to the theme parks?A.The theme park industry will be more profitable.B.Soft drink companies will be better partners of the parks.C.The tour to the parks will be more convenient.D.Visitors to the parks will have more discounts.第20题The last sentence of this passage is based on the idea that ______.A.it is wise to surf onlineB.discounting isn"t everythingC.e-ticketing attracts more partnersD.time is money上一题下一题One thing almost everyone is agreed on, including Americans, is that they place a very high valuation upon success; Success does not necessarily mean material rewards, but recognition of some sort-preferably measurable. If a boy turns out to be a preacher(传道者) instead of a businessman, that"s all right. But the bigger his church is, the more successful he is judged to be.A good many things contributed to this accent on success. There was the Puritan(清教徒的) belief in the virtue of work, both for its own sake and because the rewards it brought were regarded as signs of God"s love. There was the richness of opportunity in a land waiting to be settled. There was the lack of a settled society with fixed ranks and classes, so that a man was certain to rise through achievement. There was the determination of an immigrant to gain in the new world what had been denied to him in the old, and on the part of his children an urge to throw off the immigrant onus(负担) by still more success and still more rise in a fluid and classless society. Brothers did not compete within the family for the favor of the parents as in Europe, but worked hard for success in the outer world, along paths of their own choosing.第21题According to the first paragraph, ______.A.success is highly valued in American societyB.success surely brings material rewardsC.success equals measurable recognitionD.people agree on what success means第22题In this passage, the author indicates that ______.A.preachers are not so successful as businessmenB.businessmen are not so successful as preachersC.boys are advised to become preachers instead of businessmenD.measurable success can also be achieved by preachers第23题The word "accent"(Line 1, Para. 2) most probably means ______.A.dialectB.emphasisC.attentionD.recognition第24题Which of the following does NOT account for people"s desire for success?A.The Puritan belief in the virtue of work.B.Richness of opportunities in the new world.ck of fixed social ranks and classes.D.Determination to deny the value of the new world.第25题It is suggested in the last paragraph that ______ in the old world.A.children tended to compete for the favor of their parentsB.children were determined to throw off their immigrant identitiesC.children were urged to achieve success in the fluid and classless societyD.children worked hard for success along paths chosen by their parents上一题下一题(26~30/共20题)阅读理解Advertisement I JODRELL BANK VISITOR CENTRE EXHIBITION OF MODERN ASTRONOMY PLANETARIUM GARDENS, RESTAURANTS, SHOPS Open: Summer (March 12—October 31) Daily (including SAT & SUN.) 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Winter (November 1—March 11) Weekends 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. (Winter weekday visits by prior arrangement) No extra charge for Planetarium, Gardens, Arboretum or Car Park Children and Senior Citizens admitted at reduced rate Details: Ring Lower Withington (0477) 71339 Or write to R.

It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set updangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself. Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters. Others are severe over times of coming home at night or punctuality for meals. In general, the controls imposed represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child"s own happiness. As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality(道德). Also, parents should realize that "example is better than precept". If they are not sincere and do not practise what they preach(说教), their children may grow confused, and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled. A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents"principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.第11题Eagerly watching the child"s acquisition of new skills______.A.should be avoidedB.is universal among parentsC.sets up dangerous states of worry in the childD.will make him lose interest in learning new things第12题In the process of children"s learning new skills parents______.A.should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they readB.should not expect too much of themC.should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their ownD.should create as many learning opportunities as possible第13题The second paragraph mainly tells us that______.A.parents should be strict with their childrenB.parental controls reflect only the needs of the parents and the values of the communityC.parental restrictions vary, and are not always enforced for the benefit of the children aloneD.parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situation第14题The word "precept"(Para. 3) probably means"______"A.ideaB.punishmentC.behaviourD.instruction第15题In moral matters, parents should______.A.observe the rules themselvesB.be aware of the marked difference between adults and childrenC.forbid things which have no foundation in moralityD.consistently ensure the security of their children上一题下一题(16~20/共20题)阅读理解图片第16题The service in the first advertisement is directed to the following EXCEPT ______.A.contract organizationsB.real estate companiesC.individual personsD.special construction companies第17题The services provided in the first advertisement do not include ______.A.demolishing housesB.cleaning up construction sitesC.transporting machinesD.headache curing第18题Golden Touch Construction is ______.A.a private companyB.a national agencyC.an international cooperationD.charge-free organization第19题Services provided by Golden Touch Construction include ______.A.kitchen decorationB.bathroom buildingC.bar demolitionD.house purchase第20题Both ads promised to provide ______.A.insuranceB.cheap priceC.free estimatesD.free designing上一题下一题(21~25/共20题)阅读理解Concern with money, and then more money, in order to buy the conveniences and luxuries of modern life, has brought great changes to the lives of most Frenchmen. More people are working than ever before in France. In the cities the traditional leisurely midday meal is disappearing. Offices, shops and factories are discovering the greater efficiency of a short lunch hour in company lunchrooms. In almost all lines of work emphasis now falls on ever-increasing output. Thus the "typical" Frenchman produces more, earns more, and buys more consumer goods than his counterpart of only a generation ago. He gains in creature comforts and ease of life. What he loses to some extent is his sense of personal uniqueness, or individuality. Some say that France has been Americanized. This is because the United States is a world symbol of thetechnological society and its consumer products. The so-called Americanization of France has its critics. They fear that"assembly-line life" will lead to the disappearance of the pleasures of the more graceful and leisurely old French style. What will happen, they ask, to taste, elegance, and the cultivation of the good things in life-to joy in the smell of a freshly picked apple, a stroll by the river, or just happy hours of conversation in a local cafe? Since the late 1940"s life in France has indeed taken on qualities of rush, tension, and the pursuit of material gain. Some of the strongest critics of the new way of life are the young, especially university students. They are concerned with the future, and they fear that France is threatened by the triumph of the competitive, goods-oriented culture. Occasionally, they have reacted against the trend with considerable violence. In spite of the critics, however, countless Frenchmen are committed to keeping France in the forefront of the modem economic world. They find that the present life brings more rewards, conveniences, and pleasures than that of the past. They believe that a modern, industrial France is preferable to the old.第21题Which of the following is not given as a feature of the old French way of life?A.Leisure.B.Elegance.C.Efficiency.D.Tast第22题Which of the following is not related to the new French way of life?A.Shorter lunch hour.B.Greater output.C.Creature comfort.D.Leisurely cafe talk.第23题Nowadays few Frenchmen ______.A.prefer the modern life styleB.actually enjoy working at the assembly lineC.are more concerned with money than in the pastD.are more competitive than the old generation第24题The passage suggests that ______.A.in pursuing material gains the Frenchmen are suffering losses elsewhereB.it"s now unlikely to see a Frenchman enjoying a stroll by the riverC.the French are fed up with the smell of freshly picked applesD.great changes have occurred in the life style of all Frenchmen第25题Which of the following best states the main idea of the passage?A.Changes in the French way of life.B.Criticism of the new life style.C.The Americanization of France.D.Features of the new way of lif上一题下一题。

Green building can also refer to environmentally friendly houses, factories, and offices. Buildings account for 65percent of total U.S. electricity use. But green buildings can reduce energy and water use. Also, the buildings are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways, so that people can drive their cars less. That could be good for the environment, because cars use lots of natural resources such as gasoline, and give off pollution. Green buildings are often built on previously developed land, so that the buildings don"t destroy forests or other wild habitats(栖息地). Marty Dettling is a project manager for a building that puts these ideas into action. The Solaire has been called the country"s first green residential high-rise building. According to Dealing, "We"ve reduced our energy consumption by one-third and our water by 50 percent. Not everyone is leaping to move into a green building, however. Some people think that features such as solar panels cost more money than more traditional energy sources. Despite this, Dettling hopes that green buildings will become common in the future. "It"s going to be big", she said.第11题What does green building refer to nowadays?A.Buildings painted by green hands.B.Buildings covered with green plants.C.Buildings that are environmentally friendly.D.Buildings like houses, factories, and offices.第12题The word "Also"(Line 2, Paragraph 2) is used to ______.A.continue the discussion of total U.S. electricity useB.expand the topic of reduction of energy and water useC.include the discussion of public transportationD.shift the focus to the topic of the environment protection第13题In terms of land use, green buildings are constructed by______.A.making use of developed landB.developing new landC.clearing the ground in a forestD.draining wild habitats第14题Why are some people not so enthusiastic about green buildings?A.Because they do not jump into green building.B.Because they fail to move into a green building.C.Because they find it more costly to live in a green building.D.Because they think that solar panels still cost too much.第15题What did Marty Dettling mean when she said, "It"s going to be big?"A.Green buildings have a great potential.B.People expect bigger green buildings.C.Green buildings will be larger in size.D.People prefer to live in bigger buildings.上一题下一题(16~20/共20题)阅读理解According to the United States government, people are classified as homeless if they have noplace to stay and no expectation of finding a place for the next thirty days. Although technically accurate, that is an impersonal assessment of an enormous and very human problem. The homeless population represents all of us Americans. It includes men and women, the elderly, children, and infants. Its members are from all ethnic(种族的) groups. What they have in common is poverty. Currently in the U.S., thirty-nine million people live in poverty. When money is really tight, paying the rent or buying food often becomes a choice. Government assistance in the form of food stamps does help but, as one homeless man explains, you can"t pay the rent with food stamps. With no money for rent, the streets and homeless shelters become the alternative. Although men constitute the largest group within the homeless population, homeless women with children are rapidly joining them. In fact, one quarter of the homeless people in the U.S. are teenagers and young children. People may become homeless for numerous reasons. However, there are certain factors that many of these individuals have in common. They include a lack of adequate education and job skills. A majority of the teenagers and adults have not completed high school. The abuse of alcohol and drugs is also a common factor One third of the adult homeless population abuses alcohol, while one quarter of the same group uses drugs. Some members of this population suffer mental health problems. Within the past several years many institutions for the mentally ill have been closed and their patients sent "home". Unfortunately, a number of those people have no home to go to and they are unable to adequately look after themselves. Job loss in today"s economy has also become a real factor in the loss of people"s homes. The breakup of families through abandonment and divorce are also contributing factors, particularly when there are children involved. The parent who is left to care for the kids with inadequate income may be forced to depend on the homeless shelters to put a roof over their heads.第16题The writer thinks that the U.S. government"s definition of the homeless reveals ______.A.an insincere attitude toward the homelessB.an unbearable attitude toward the homelessC.an uncivilized attitude toward the homelessD.an unsympathetic attitude toward the homeless第17题The U.S. govermnent helps the homeless by ______.A.giving them homeless allowancesB.giving them food stampsC.finding jobs for themD.finding residences for them第18题Most of the homeless in the U.S. are______.A.male adultsB.female adultsC.the elderlyD.children第19题People become homeless for all the following reasons EXCEPT ______.A.the lack of adequate educationB.the abuse of alcohol and drugsC.the closure of institutions for the mentally illD.the poor performance of economy第20题The breakup of families is likely to lead to homelessness because a parent with kids may ______.A.lose his or her job in today"s economyB.be unable to look after the kidsC.not have enough incomeD.find residence at a homeless shelter上一题下一题(21~25/共20题)阅读理解American no longer expect public figures, whether in speech or in writing, to command the English language with skill and gift. Nor do they aspire to such command themselves. In his latest book, Doing Our Own Thing, the Degradation of language and Music and why we should like, care, John Me Whorter, a linguist and controversialist of mixed liberal and conservative views, sees the triumph of 1960 scounter-culture as responsible for the decline of formal English. But the cult of the authentic and the personal, "doing our own thing", has spelt the death of formal speech, writing, poetry and music. While even the modestly educated sought an elevated tone when they put pen to paper before the 1960s, even the most well regarded writing since then has sought to capture spoken English on the page. Equally, in poetry, the highly personal, performative gene is the only form that could claim real liveliness, in both oral and written English, talking is triumphing over speaking, spontaneity over craft. Illustrated with an entertaining array of examples from both high and low culture, the trend that Mr. McWhorter documents is unmistakable. But it is less clear, to take the question of his subtitle, why we should, like care. As a linguist, he acknowledges that all varieties of human language, including non-standard ones like Black English, can be powerfully expressive—there exists no language or dialect in the world that cannot convey complex ideas. He is not arguing, as many do, that we can no longer think straight because we do not talk proper. Russians have a deep love for their own language and carry large chunks of memorized poetry in their heads, while Italian politicians tend to elaborate speech that would seem old-fashioned to most English-speakers. Mr. McWhorter acknowledges that formal language is not strictly necessary, and proposes no radical education reforms—he is really grieving over the loss of something beautiful more than useful.
