阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和D)中,选出最佳选项。

A lot of us lose life's tough battles by starting a frontal attack--when a touch of humor might well enable us to win. Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who was on his trapped w ay to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum(最后通牒) about the job. Although there was a good reason for Sam' s being late--serious illness at home--he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn't work any longer. His supervisor was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal s peech.Yes, the boss was, Sam entered the office at 9:35. The place was as quiet as a locker room; everyone was hard at work. S am's supervisor came up to him. Suddenly, Sam forced a grin and stretched out his hand. "How do you do!" he said. "I'm S am Maynard. I'm applying for a job, which, I understand, beca me available just 35 minutes ago. Does the early bird get the worm?"The room exploded in laughter, except that the supervisor ha d to clamp off a smile and walked back to his office. Sam May nard had saved his job--with the only tool that could win, a laugh.Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected, means of handling the difficult situations in our lives. It can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying "no", criticizing, g etting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing f ace. For some jobs, it's the only tool that can succeed. It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialog may s tart a quarrel. For example, many believe that comedians on t elevision are doing more today for racial and religious toleran ce than people in any other forum.1. Why was Sam late for his job?A. Because he was seriously ill at home.B. Because he received an ultimatum.C. Because he was busy applying for a new job.D. Because he was caught in a traffic jam.2. What is the main idea of this passage?A. Sam Maynard saved his job with humor.B. Humor is important in our lives.C. Early bird can get the worm.D. Humor can solve racial discriminations.3. The phrase "clamp off" in Paragraph 3 means ________.A. try to hold backB. pretend to setC. send offD. give out4. Which of the following statements can we infer from the pa ssage?A. Many lose life's battles for they are always late.B. Sam was supposed to come to his office at 8:30.C. It wasn't the first time that Sam came late for his work.D. Humor is the most effective way of solving problems.1、答案解析:答案为D。

青花瓷发展的黄金时代是明朝永乐、宣德时期,与郑和下西洋在时间上重合,这不能不使我们思考:航海与瓷器同时达到鼎盛,仅仅是历史的偶然吗?从历史事实来看,郑和下西洋为青花瓷的迅速崛起提供了历史契机。

近三十年的航海历程推动了作为商品的青花瓷大量生产与外销,不仅促进技术创新,使青花瓷达到瓷器新工艺的顶峰,而且改变了中国瓷器发展的走向,带来了人们审美观念的更新。

这也就意味着,如果没有郑和远航带来活跃的对外贸易,青花瓷也许会像在元代一样,只是中国瓷器的诸多品种之一,而不会成为主流,更不会成为中国瓷器的代表。

由此可见,青花瓷崛起是郑和航海时代技术创新与文化交融的硕果,中外交往的繁盛在推动文明大交融的同时,也推动了生产技术与文化艺术的创新发展。

作为中外文明交融的结晶,青花瓷真正成为中国瓷器的主流,则是因为成化年间原料本土化带来了民窑青花瓷的崛起。

民窑遍地开花,进入商业化模式之后,几乎形成了青花瓷一统天下的局面。

一种海外流行的时尚由此成为中国本土的时尚,中国传统的人物、花鸟、山水,与外来的伊斯兰风格融为一体,青花瓷成为中国瓷器的代表,进而走向世界,最终万里同风,成为世界时尚。

一般来说,一个时代有一个时代的文化,而时尚兴盛则是社会快速变化的标志。

There has been a recent trend in the food service industry toward lower fat content and less salt. This trend, which was started by the medical community(医学界)61 a method of fighting heart disease, has had some unintended side 62 (effect) such as overweight and heart disease—the very thing the medical community was trying to fight.Fat and salt are very important parts of a diet. They are required 63 (process) the food that we eat, to recover from injury and for several other bodily functions. When fat and salt 64 (remove) from food, the food tastes as if it is missing something. As 65 result, people will eat more food to try to make up for that something missing. Even 66 (bad), the amount of fast food that people eat goes up. Fast food 67 (be) full of fat and salt; by 68 (eat) more fast food people will get more salt and fat than they need in their diet.Having enough fat and salt in your meals will reduce the urge to snack(吃点心) between meals and will improve the taste of your food. However, be 69 (care) not to go to extremes. Like anything, it is possible to have too much of both, 70 is not good for the health.翻译:最近,在食品服务业方面有一种朝着低脂肪和少盐的趋势。

The movie is set in a small town where the only movie theater is preparing to close down.Bradford said that large modern theaters in the city made it impossible for the Plaza to compete.Headded that the theater’s location(位置)was also a reason.“This used to be the center of town,”he said.“Now the area is mostly office buildings and warehouses.”Last week some city officials suggested the city might be interested in turning the old theater into a museum and public meeting place.However,these plans were abandoned because of financial problems. Bradford sold the building and land to a local development firm,which plans to build a shopping complex on the land where the theater is located.The theater audience said good-bye as Bradford locked the doors for the last time.After75years the Plaza Theater has shown its last movie.The theater will be missed.24.In what way was yesterday’s cleanup at the Plaza special?A.It made room for new

be turned into a museum.C.It will be knocked down.D.It will be sold to the city government.27.What can we infer about the audience?A.They are disappointed with Bradford.B.They are sad to part with the old theater.C.They are supportive of the city officials.D.They are eager to have a shopping center.CAfter years of heated debate,gray wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park.Fourteen wolves were caught in Canada and transported to the park.By last year,the Yellowstone wolf population had grown to more than170wolves.Gray wolves once were seen here and there in the Yellowstone area and much of the continental United States,but they were gradually displaced by human development.By the1920s,wolves had practically disappeared from the Yellowstone area.They went farther north into the deep forests of Canada,where there were fewer humans around.The disappearance of the wolves had many unexpected results.Deer and elk populations—major food sources(来源)for the wolf—grew rapidly.These animals consumed large amounts of vegetation (植被),which reduced plant diversity in the park.In the absence of wolves,coyote populations also grew quickly.The coyotes killed a large percentage of the park’s red foxes,and completely drove away the park’s beavers.As early as1966,biologists asked the government to consider reintroducing wolves to Yellowstone Park.They hoped that wolves would be able to control the elk and coyote problems.Many farmers opposed the plan because they feared that wolves would kill their farm animals or pets.The government spent nearly30years coming up with a plan to reintroduce the wolvers.The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service carefully monitors and manages the wolf packs in Yellowstone.Today,the debate continues over how well the gray wolf is fitting in at Yellowstone.Elk,deer,and coyote populations are down,while beavers and red fores have made a comeback.The Yellowstone wolf project has been a valuable experiment to help biologists decide whether to reintroduce wolves to other parts of the country as well.28.What is the text mainly about?A.Wildlife research in the United States.B.Plant diversity in the Yellowstone area.C.The conflict between farmers and gray wolves.D.The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone Park.29.What does the underlined word“displaced”in paragraph2mean?A.Tested.B.Separated.C.Forced out.D.Tracked down.30.What did the disappearance of gray wolves bring about?A.Damage to local ecology.B.A decline in the park’s income.C.Preservation of vegetation.D.An increase in the variety of animals.31.What is the author’s attitude towards the Yellowstone wolf project?A.Doubtful.B.Positive.C.Disapproving.D.Uncaring.DThe Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named“Drive LAB”in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are.Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well-being among older people,leading to them becoming more isolated(隔绝)and inactive.Led by Professor Phil Blythe,the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life.These include custom-made navigation(导航)tools,night vision systems and intelligent speed adaptations.Phil Blythe explains:“For many older people,particularly those living alone or in the country, driving is important for preserving their independence,giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others.”“But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills.The result is that people stop driving before they really need to.”Dr Amy Guo,the leading researcher on the older driver study,explains,“The Drive LAB is helping us to understand what the key points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems.“For example,most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly,we found that in30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined.We’re looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that.“We hope that our work will help with technological solutions(解决方案)to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel.”32.What is the purpose of the Drive LAB?A.To explore newmeans of transport.B.To design new types of cars.C.To find out older driver’s problems.D.To teach people traffic rules.33.Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe?A.It keeps them independent.B.It helps them save time.C.It builds up their strength.D.It cures their mental illnesses.34.What do researchers hope to do for older drivers?A.Improve their driving skills.B.Develop driver-assist technologles.C.Provide tips on repairing their cars.anize regular physical checkups.35.What is the best title for the text?A.A new Model Electric CarB.A Solution to Traffic ProblemC.Driving Service for eldersD.Keeping Older Drivers on the Road第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

阅读下列材料,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

ACosmo Books Ltd., 14, Woodman Road,Hertford Estate, Two Bridges,Rickmansworth, West Sussex.Middx.25th FebruaryDear sir,Just over six months ago, I saw an advertisement in the Morning Mail for a set of the complete works of William Shakespeare. Your company, Cosmo books Ltd., offered this set ( eight books of plays and two books of poetry) at what was claimed to be a ‘remarkable’ price: fifteen pounds and fifty pence, including postage and packing. I had wanted a set of Shakespeare’s plays and poems for some time, and these books, in red imitation leather, looked particularly attractive; so I sent for them.Two weeks later, the books arrived, together with a set of the complete works of Charles Dickens which I had not ordered. So I returned the Dickens books to you, with a cheque for fifteen pounds and fifty pence for the works of Shakespeare. Two more weeks passed. Then there arrived on my door step a second set of the works of Shakespeare, the same set of novels by Dickens and a six book set of the plays of Moliere, in French. Since I do not read French, these were of no use to me at all. However, I could not afford to post all these books back to you, so I wrote to you at the end of August of last year, instructing you to come and collect all the books that I did not want, and asking you not to send any other books until further notice.You did not reply to that letter. Instead you sent me a bill for forty two pounds , and a set of the plays of Schiller, in German. Since then, a new set of books has arrived every two weeks, the works of Goethe, the poems of Milton, the plays of Strindberg; I hardly know what I have. The books are still all in their boxes, in the garage, and my car has to stand in the rain outside.I have no room for any more books, and even if I read from now until the Last Judgement, I should not finish reading all the books that you have sent me.Please send no more books, send no more bills, send no more angry letters demanding payment. Just send one large lorry and take all the books away, leaving me only with the one set of the complete works of Shakespeare for which I have paid.Yours faithfully,SIMON WALKER1. Simon Walker wrote the letter to ________A. complain about sending him books he had not ordered.B. urge Cosmo Books Ltd. to take away the books he had not ordered.C. laugh at Cosmo Books Ltd..D. advise readers not to order books from Cosmo Books Ltd..2. The advertisement that Mr. Walker saw in the Morning Mail was for ____A. unlimited number of Cosmo Books.B. a set of 10 books of the works of Shakespeare.C. a book containing all the plays and poems of Shakespeare.D. fifteen pounds and fifty pence.3. Mr. walker answered the advertisement because ________A. he wanted a set of Shakespeare’s works, and this set was cheap, and looked attractive.B. he claimed that the books were being offered at a remarkable price.C. he had ordered the set and had been waiting for them to come for some time.D. the set he already had was not particularly attractive.4. Cosmo Books have _______A. sent bills for books that they have not sent.B. continued to send books that Mr. Walker did not order.C. still not sent Mr. Walker the books that he ordered.D. made a gift to Mr. Walker of several sets of books.5. The tone of the letter is that of _______A. bitternessB. respectC. annoyanceD. humorBIt is pretty much a one-way street. While it may be common for university researchers to try their luck in the commercial world, there is very little traffic in the opposite direction. Pay has always been the biggest deterrent, as people with families often feel they cannot afford the drop in salary when moving to a university job. For some industrial scientists, however, the attractions of academia (学术界) outweigh any financial considerations.Helen Lee took a 70% cut in salary when she moved from a senior post in Abbott Laboratories to a medical department at the University of Cambridge. Her main reason for returning to academia mid-career was to take advantage of the greater freedom to choose research questions. Some areas of inquiry have few prospects of a commercial return, and Lee’s is one of them.The impact of a salary cut is probably less severe for a scientist in the early stages of a career. Guy Grant, now a research associate at the Unilever Centre for Molecular Informatics at the University of Cambridge, spent two years working for a pharmaceutical (制药的) company before returning to university as a post-doctoral researcher. He took a 30% salary cut but felt it worthwhile for the greater intellectual(知识的)opportunities.Higher up the ladder, where a pay cut is usually more significant, the demand for scientists with a wealth of experience in industry is forcing universities to make the transition (转换) to academia more attractive, according to Lee. Industrial scientists tend to receive training that academics do not, such as how to build a multidisciplinary team, manage budgets and negotiate contracts. They are also well placed to bring something extra to the teaching side of an academic role that will help students get a job when they graduate, says Lee, perhaps experience in manufacturing practice or product development. “Only a small number of undergraduates will continue in an academic career. So someone leaving university who already has the skills needed to work in an industrial lab has far more potential in the job market than someone who has spent all their time on a narrow research project.”6.By “a one-way street” (Line 1, Para. 1), the author means ________.A. university researchers know little about the commercial worldB. there is little exchange between industry and academiaC. few industrial scientists would quit to work in a universityD. few university professors are willing to do industrial research7. The word “deterrent” (Line 2, Para. 1) most probably refers to something that ________.A. keeps someone from taking actionB. helps to move the trafficC. attracts people’s attentionD. brings someone a financial burden8. What was Helen Lee’s major consideration when she changed her job in the middle of her career?A. Flexible work hours.B. Her research interests.C. Her preference for the lifestyle on campus.D. Prospects of academic accomplishments.9. Guy Grant chose to work as a researcher at Cambridge in order to ________.A .do financially more rewarding workB .raise his status in the academic worldC. enrich his experience in medical researchD. exploit better intellectual opportunities10. What contribution can industrial scientists make when they come to teach in a university?A. Increase its graduates’ competitiveness in the job market.B. Develop its students’ potential in research.C. Help it to obtain financial support from industry.D. Gear its research towards practical applications.CBeing sociable looks like a good way to add years to your life. Relationships with family, friends, neighbours, even pets, will all do the trick, but the biggest longevity (长寿) boost seems to come from marriage or an equivalent relationship. The effect was first noted in 1858 by William Farr, who wrote that widows (寡妇)and widowers were at a much higher risk of dying than their married peers. Studies since then suggest that marriage could add as much as seven years to a man’s life and two to a woman’s. Th e effect holds for all causes of death, whether illness, accident or self-harm.Even if the odds are stacked against you, marriage can more than compensate. Linda Waite of the University of Chicago has found that a married older man with heart disease can expect to live nearly four years longer than an unmarried man with a healthy heart. Likewise, a married man who smokes more than a pack a day is likely to live as long as a divorced man who doesn’t smoke. There’s a flip side, however, as partners are more likely to become ill or die in the couple of years following their spouse’s death, and caring for a spouse with mental disorder can leave you with some of the same severe problems. Even so, the odds favour marriage. In a 30-year study of more than 10,000 people, Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School describes how all kinds of social networks have similar effects.So how does it work? The effects are complex, affected by socio-economic factors, health-service provision, emotional support and other more physiological (生理的) mechanisms. For example, social contact can boost development of the brain and immune system, leading to better health and less chance of depression later in life. People in supportive relationships may handle stress better. Then there are the psychological benefitsof a supportive partner.A life partner, children and good friends are all recommended if you aim to live to 100. The ultimate social network is still being mapped out, but Christakis says: “People are interconnected, so their health is interconnected.”11. William Farr’s study and other studies show that _________.A .social life provides an effective cure for illnessB. being sociable helps improve one’s quality of lifeC. women benefit more than men from marriageD. marriage contributes a great deal to longevity12. Linda Waite’s studies support the idea that _________.A. older men should quit smoking to stay healthyB. marriage can help make up for ill healthC. the married are happier than the unmarriedD. unmarried people are likely to suffer in later life13. It can be inferred from the context that the “flip side” (Line 4, Para. 2) refers to _________.A. the disadvantages of being marriedB. the emotional problems arising from marriageC. the responsibility of taking care of one’s familyD. the consequence of a broken marriage14. What does the author say about social networks?A. They have effects similar to those of a marriage.B. They help develop people’s community spirit.C. They provide timely support for those in need.D. They help relieve people of their life’s burdens.15. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. It’s important that we develop a social network when young.B. To stay healthy, one should have a proper social network.C. Getting a divorce means risking a reduced life span.D. We should share our social networks with each other.DA few years ago I asked my children’s governess, Julia Vassilyevna, to come into my study.“ Sit down, Julia Vassilyevna,” I said.“Let’s settle our accounts. Although you most likely need some money, you stand on ceremony and won’t ask for it yourself. Now then, we agree on thirty rubles a month…”“ Forty.”“ No, thirty. I made a note of it. I always pay the governess thirty. Now then, you’ve been here two months, so…”“ Two months and five days.”“Exactly two months. I made a specific note of it. That means you have sixty rubles coming to you. Subtract nine Sundays… you know you didn’t work with Kolya on Sundays, you only took walks. And three holidays…”Julia Vassilyevna flushed a deep red and picked at the flounce of her dress, but--- not a word.“ Three holidays, therefore take off twelve rubles. Four days Kolya was sick and there were no lessons, as you were occupied only with Vanya. Three days you had a toothache and my wife gave you permission not to work after lunch. Twelve and seven---nineteen. Subtract…that leaves…hmm…forty-one rubles. Correct?”Julia Vassilyena’s left eye reddened and filled with moisture. Her chin trembled; she coughed nervously and blew her nose, but---not a word.“ Around New Year’s you broke a teacup and saucer: take off two rubles. The cup cost more, it was an heirloom, but---let it go. When didn’t I take a loss? Then, due to your neglect, Kolya climbed a tree and tore his jacket: take off ten. Also due to your heedlessness the maid stole Vanya’s shoes. You ought to watch everything! You get paid for it. So, that means five more rubles off. The tenth of January I gave you ten rubles…”“ You didn’t ” whispered Julia Vassilyevna.“ But I made a note of it.”“ Well…all right.”“ Take twenty-seven from forty-one ---that leaves fourteen.”Both eyes filled with tears. Perspiration appeared on the thin, pretty little nose. Poor girl!“ Only once was I given any money,” she said in a trembling voice, “ and that was by your wife. Three rubles, nothing more.”“ Really? You see now, and I didn’t make a note of it! Take three from fourteen…leaves eleven. Here’s your money, my dear. Three , three, three, one and one. Here it is!”I handed her eleven rubles. She took them and with trembling fingers stuffed them into her pocket.“ Merci,” she whispered.I jumped up and started pacing the room. I was overcome with anger.“ For what, this ---‘merci’?” I asked.“ For the money.”“But you know I’ve cheated you, God’s sake---robbed you! I have actually stolen from you! Why this ‘merci’?”“ In my other places they didn’t give me anything at all.”“ They didn’t give you anything? No wonder! I played a little joke on you, a cruel lesson, just to teach you …I’m going to give you the entire eighty rubles! Here they are in an envelope all ready for you…Is it really possible to be so spineless? Why don’t you protest? Why be silent? Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws--- to be such a nincompoop?”She smiled crookedly and I read in her expression: “ It is possible.”I asked her pardon for the cruel lesson and , to her great surprise, gave her the eighty rubles. She murmured her litter “merci” several times and went out. I looked after her and thought: “How easy it is to crush the weak in this world!”16. When the employer called Julia Vassilyevna in to talk with him, what he really wanted to do was _______A. to settle their accountsB. to criticize her for neglecting her duties as a governess.C. to play a joke on her so as to amuse himself.D. to teach her not to be so spineless.17. The employer made all those criticisms about Julia Vassiliyevna’s work because __________A. she had neglected her duties.B. he wanted to pay her as little money as possible.C. he wanted to make her realize that she was being cheated and protest against it.D. he wanted to make her feel miserable.18. Julia Vassilyevna accepted everything her employer said because ________A. she had in fact neglected her duties.B. she was a very dumb girl.C. she thought it was of no use to protest to her employer.D. she loved the children she taught.19. The employer became very angry when Julia Vassilyevna said “ Merci” because ________A. she didn’t say “Merci” loudly.B. she didn’t protest to him.C. he thought that by simply saying “ Merci” she wasn’t polite enough.D. he didn’t like the way in which she stuffed the money into per pocket and expressed her thanks.20. The text is about _______A. how a governess was cheated by her employer.B. how an employer tried to teach the governess a cruel lesson.C. how a governess was fired by her employer for being a nincompoop.D. how an employer punished the governess for not having done a good job.BBABC CABDA DBAAB DCCBB。

It's convenient: three or four words per exchange. It takes cleverness,concentration and quick fingers.And it requires very simple language. There's neither time nor space for explanations. Why waste valuable time telling six friends you have to leave for a moment to take care of your little brother when BRB (=be right back) will do?Want to enter a conversation? Just type PMFJI (=pardon me for jumping in).Interested in whom you're talking to? Type A/S/L, the common request to know your pal's age, sex and location. You may get 15/M/NY as a reply from your pal.If something makes you laugh,say you're OTF(=on the floor),or LOL(=laughing out loud),or join the two into ROTFL(=rolling on the floor laughing).And when it's time to get back to work or go to bed,you type GTG(=got to go) or TTYL(=talk to you later).People want to write as fast as possible,and they want to get their ideas across as quickly as they can.

They often have to use tools that are designed for right-handed people. So it is difficult for left-handers to use most tools. If you are right handed, try this experiment: Take a knife with your left hand and try cutting a potato into pieces. Don’t be surprised if you feel awkward(别扭的).In the past, people thought it was strange to use the left hand. Young students looked down upon their left-handed classmates. Some children were even punished for using their left hand to write. But these days parents and teachers have accepted that. In almost every school in the world, left-handed students can use their left hand to write.What causes people to be left handed or right handed? Experts have searched long and hard on this. They conclude(得出结论)that left-handed people are left handed for the same reason that right-handed people are right handed. One out of every ten people just is a left-handed people are right handed. One out of every tenpeople just is a left-hander. It’s simply like the color of our eyes – some people have brown eyes, while some others have black eyes.However, may researchers think that left-handers and right-handers are different in some aspects. Right-handers are more talkative and outgoing than left-handers. Many right-handed people understand spoken words better. For example, after they listen to directions to a supermarket, they can find it easily. Right-handers are good at organizing people, too. They are also better basketball guards. Just ask Yao Ming.Research shows that left-handers are creative and artistic. Many famous performers, like Jim Carrey and Paul McCartney, are left handed. Many left-handers learn better visually(在视觉方面). In art, both Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo were left handed. In music, Ludwig van Beethoven was left handed. In science, you find Newton and Einstein. The left-handed people are also really good at tennis and other single sports.If you prefer one hand, but you are still good at writing with the other, you are mixed. Research shows mixed-handers can remember everyday things better than other people. What did you eat for lunch two weeks ago? If you’re mixed handed, you can probably remember.6. If right-handers cut up potatoes with there left hand, they will .A. get hurtB. give up cuttingC. feel awkwardD. change their tools7. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A. Causes of being left handed.B. Encouragement to left-handersC. Punishment for using the left hand.D. Changes in opinions on left-handers.8. According to the passage, right-handers .A. learn better visuallyB. are good organizersC. are better at single sportsD. give clear directions to others9.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)In many countries of the world, people can confidently tell you the meaning of their town or city, but most people who live in Manchester, Oxford or Birmingham would not be able to explain what the name of their city means. The name of every British town and city, however, has a long history.Two thousand years ago, most people living in Britain were Celts. Even the word “Britain”is Celtic. Then the Romans arrived and built camps which became cities called “castra”. This is why there are so many place names in England which end in “-chester” or “-caster”–Manchester, for example.The Romans never reached Wales or Scotland, and many place names there are Celtic. For example, Welsh place names that begin with “Llan” come from the Celtic word for church.After the Romans left Britain, it was attacked by tribes called the Anglo-Saxons who were from the area of Europe that is now Germany and Holland. Without the Roman army, it was impossible to protect the country from these people. The names of their villages often ended in “-ham”or “-ton”. Some got their name from the leader of the village, so Birmingham, for example, means “Beormund’s village”.The Anglo-Saxons were farmers and the landscape was very important to them, so we have villages called Upton (“village on a hill”–a good place to build a village) and Moreton (“village by lake”, where floods could make life tough). Place names that end in “-ford” (a place where you could cross a river) also describe the location of Anglo-Saxon villages.Twelve hundred years ago, the Vikings came to England from Scandinavia. They traded with the Anglo-Saxons but lived in their own villages. These often ended in “-by” or “-thorpe”. The name “Kirkby” means “a village with a church” and Scunthorpe was the village of a man called Skuma.Finally, in 1066, England became Norman –the Normans gave us the place name “grange”,which means farm.And how about London? Experts cannot agree. The Romans called the city Londinium, but they were not the first inhabitants. People once believed that the United Kingdom’s capital city got its name from the castle of a King called Lud, but this is very unlikely. Our best guess today is that the name comes from a Celtic word meaning a fastflowing river. Like a number of British place names, its history is lost in time.56. The origin of British place names are unfamiliar to many local people because of _______.A. the death of the country’s ancient languages.B. the long lost history of the names.C. their lack of interest in the names.D. the frequent changes to the names.57. According to the article, Stratford-upon-Avon is most likely a town _______.A. on a hillB. near a castleC. built beside a riverD. with a church58. Which of the following shows the correct order of the arrival of inhabitants in Britain?A. The Celts –The Romans – The Vikings –The Normans –The Anglo SaxonsB. The Romans –The Celts –The Vikings –The Anglo Saxons–The NormansC. The Celts –The Romans –The Anglo Saxons–The Vikings –The NormansD. The Romans –The Anglo Saxons–The Celts –The Normans –The Vikings59. According to the text, where did the name for London come from?A. It is puzzling and hard to confirm for sure.B. It comes from the term for a fast-flowing river.C. The name is short for Londinium.D. The name is from the castle of a King.(B)Metropolitan North Georgia Water Planning District 2016 High School Video ContestHere’s the Scoop on Pet Waste!60. What does the underlined word “Eligibility” probably mean?A. Age.B. Qualification.C. Location.D. Grade.61. When entering the contest, ________.A. one must ask his or her teacher to sign the entry form.B. winners can earn at least $750 as a prize.C. one can invite friends from other schools to act in the video.D. participants had better add some humor and fun to the video.62. Where should the participants upload their videos?A. participants’ school websites.B. .C. YouTube.D. kvaIlianos@.(C)For many years, humans have tried to find the secret to staying young. Although it has yet to be discovered, we may be closer than ever to finding a way that can slow down the aging process.A recent study by researchers from Duke University in the US found that cutting one’s daily intake of calories could slow down biological aging, which means you might be able to hang on to your youthful looks a little longer.Previous research has shown that calorie restrictions slow aging in worms, flies and mice. So researchers wondered if it could have the same effect on people.To find out, Daniel Belsky and her team examined data from a study by the National Institute on Aging, based in the US, which involved 220 people. During the two-year study, 145 people in the restriction group cut their calorie intake by 25 percent. Meanwhile, 75 people in the control group maintained their normal diets.At the start of the study, the two groups had no difference in biological age. The average participant was 38 years old, with a biological age of 37. However, after each 12-month period, participants in the restriction group saw an increase in biological age by an average of 0.11years. Meanwhile, those in the control group saw a rise by an average of 0.71 years.The researchers believe the difference between these groups shows that cutting calories does slow biological aging.Although they didn’t explain the reason behind this, researchers at Brigham Young University in the US provided an explanation after they carried out a similar study on mice.They believe fewer calories slow down a mechanism in cells called the ribosome (核糖体), at least in mice. The mechanism is responsible for making vital proteins in cells, but with fewer calories it slows down, giving it more time to repair itself.The ribosome is complex like a car, and it needs to replace the parts that wear out thefastest from time to time, according to John Price, a biochemistry professor at Brigham Young University.“When tires wear out, you don’t throw the whole car away and buy new ones. It’s easier to replace the tires,” Price told VOA.But this doesn’t mean that people who want to look younger should start skipping meals, especially given the study’s early stage. Proper nutrition is important, Price explained.“Food isn’t just material to be burned –it’s a signal that tells our body and cells how to respond,” he told Science Daily.63. The purpose of the research was to _________.A. find the most efficient way to control calorie intake.B. explain why people have to maintain a normal diet.C. test the influence of calorie restrictions on aging.D. invent technology that keeps people young and healthy.64. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the experiment?A. All the participants were of the same biological age at the start.B. The biological age of people in the control group increased more than those in therestriction group.C. Flies and mice were used to compare the results of the human test with.D. Some participants were asked to double the amount of food they ate.65. According to John Price, ________.A. the ribosome is an important cell that controls the aging process.B. a higher level of calorie intake means more healthy proteins.C. the fewer calories one takes in, the better the ribosome works.D. reducing calorie intake could allow the ribosome to repair itself better.66. We can infer from the text that ________.A. those who want to stay young are advised to skip meals.B. people should keep a record of the energy they burn every day.C. maintaining a balanced diet is not as difficult as people imagine.D. we could slow our pace of biological aging by changing our eating habits.Section CDirections: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than youPlus-size women might be socially frowned upon(不赞成) and openly avoided by the fashion industry. ___67___A study done a few years ago by Plunkett Research, a market-research firm, found that 67% of American women were “plus-size,” meaning size 14 or larger. That figure might not have changed much, but in 2016, only 18% of clothing sold was plus-size, according to NPD Group, another research firm.Designers and retailers have long thought of the plus-size as high-risk. Predicting what these customers will buy can be difficult, as they tend to be more cautious about styles. Making larger clothes is more expensive; but higher costs for fabric cannot always be passed on to consumers. ___68___ “We have money but nowhere to spend it,” says Kristine Thompson, who runs a blog which has nearly 150,000 followers on Instagram.At last, that is changing. Fast-fashion brands, including Forever 21 and a fashion line sold in partnership with Target, a giant retailer, have expanded their plus-size collections. ___69___ Revenue in the plus-size category increased by 14% between 2013 and 2016, compared with growth of 7% for all apparel (服装). Takings (营业额) were $21.3 billion last year. Social media has played an important role in changing attitudes in the fashion business, says Madeline Jones, editor and co-founder of PLUS Model Magazine.Nonetheless, designer brands still hold back. ___70___ For those that are willing to take a chance, several internet startups (创业公司) that deliver personally styled outfits to individuals, including plus-size women, offer data to “straight-size” designers.Not all plus-size shoppers are convinced. Laura Fuentes, a hairstylist from Abilene, Texas, says that many upmarket(高端市场的) department stores still keep their plus-size clothing sections poorly organized, badly stocked and dimly lit, if they stock larger clothes at all. Yet such complaints should be taken with a pinch of salt (有所保留), says Ms. Thompson. “We’re nowhere near where we should be but we’ve made progress,” she says.Directions:Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Sales strategiesHow can a company improve its sales? One of the keys to more effective selling is for a company to first decide on its “sales strategy”. In other words, what is the role of the sales person? Is the salesperson’s job narrative, suggestive, or consultative?The “narrative” sales strategy depends on the salesperson moving quickly into a standard sales presentation. His or her pitch highlights the benefit for the customer of a particular product or service. This approach is most effective for customers whose buying motives are basically the same.The “suggestive” approach is tailored more for the individual customer. The salesperson must be in a position to offer alternative recommendation s that meet a particular customer’s needs. One key aspect of the suggestive approach is the need for the salesperson to engage the buyer in some sort of discussion. The salesperson can then use the information from the customer to suggest an appropriate product or service.The final strategy demands that a company’s sales staff act as “consultants” for the buyer. In this role, the salesperson must acquire a great deal of information about the customer. They do this through market research, surveys, and face-to-face discussions. Using this information, the salesperson makes a detailed presentation t ailored to a consumer’s needs. More and more sales teams are switching from a narrative or a suggestive approach to a more consultative strategy. As a result, corporations value creativity and analytical skills.V.
