traded right across the35from East to West.Metal,valued by weight,36coins in many parts of the world.Iron,in lumps,bars or rings,is still used in many countries instead of paper money.It can either be exchanged37goods,or made into tools,weapons,orornaments.The early money of China,apart from shells,was of bronze,Often in flat,round pieces with a hole in the middle,called"cash".The earliest of these are between three thousand and four thousand years old-older than the earliest coins of the eastern Mediterranean.Nowadays,coins and notes have38nearly all the more picturesque39of money,andAlthough in one or two of the more remote countries people still keep it for future use on ceremonial occasions such as weddings and funerals,examples of40money will soon be found only in museums.第八篇A)opinion

school,I was an underachieving student,but I left that class determined never to underachieve again.He not only taught me to think,he convinced me,as much by example as words that it was my moral31to do so and to serve others.32of us could know how our relationship would33over the years.When I came back to DeMatha to teach English,I worked for Dr Offutt,the department chair.My discussion with him were like graduate seminars in adolescent34,classroom management and school leadership.After several years,I was named department chair,and our relationship35again.I thought that it might be36chairing the department,since all of my former English teachers were still there,but Dr Offutt supported me throughout.He knew when to give me advice37curriculum,texts and personnel,and when to let me chart my own course.In1997,I needed his38about leaving DeMatha to become principal at another school.If he had asked me to stay at DeMatha,I might have.39,he encouraged me to seize the opportunity.Five years ago,I became the principal of DeMatha.once again,Dr Offutt was there for me,letting me know that I could count on him.I have learned from him that great teachers have an inexhaustible40of lessons to teach.第九篇第九篇A)alternatively B)avoid C)make D)widely E)mark F)remain G)superstitionH)altered I)misfortune J)permission K)unpopular L)consequently M)associatedN)unnatural O)especiallyThere are many superstitions in Britain,but one of the most(31)held is that it is unlucky to walk under a ladder even if it means stepping off the pavement into a busy street!If you must pass under a ladder you can(32)bad luck by crossing your fingers and keeping them crossed until you have seen a dog.(33),you may lick your finger and(34)a cross on the toe of your shoe,and not look again at the shoe until

fine weather is(38),as it inevitably brings rain!The number13is said to be unlucky for some,and when the13th day of the month falls on a Friday, anyone wishing to avoid a bad event had better stay indoors.the worst misfortune that can happen to a person is caused by breaking a mirror,as it brings seven years of bad luck!The superstition is supposed to have originated in ancient times,when mirrors were considered to be tools of the gods.Black cats are generally considered lucky in Britain,even though they are(39)with witchcraft……itis(40)lucky if a black cat crosses your path-although in America the exact opposite belief prevails.Finally,a commonly held superstition is that of touching wood for luck.This measure is most often taken if you think you have said something that is tempting fate,such as"my car has never broken down,touch wood?"第十篇A)improve B)still C)ideal D)rarely E)imaginary F)tolerant G)enhance H)compromiseI)probably J)certain K)new L)hesitation M)caution N)similarity O)equivalentA person's home is as much a reflection of his personality as the clothes he wears,the food heeats and the friends with whom he spends his time.Depending on personality,most have in mind a(n)"31home".But in general,and especially for the student or new wage earners,there arepractical limitations of cash and location on achieving that idea.Cash shortage,in fact,often means that the only way of getting along when you leave school is to stay at home for a while until things32financially.There are obvious advantages ofliving at home–personal laundry is usually33done along with the family wash;meals areprovided and there will be a well-established circle of friends to call upon.And there is34theresponsibility for paying bills,rates,etc.On the other hand,much depends on how a family gets on.Do your parents like your friends?You may love your family–but do you like them?Are you prepared to be35when your parents ask where you are going in the evening and what time you expect to be back?If you find that you cannot manage a(n)36,and that you finally have themoney to leave,how do you go about finding somewhere else to live?If you plan to stay in your home area,the possibilities are37well-known to you already.Friends and the local paper are always a good source of information.If you are going to work in a38area,again there are the papers–and the accommodation agencies,while these should beapproached with39.Agencies are allowed to charge a fee,usually the40of the firstweek's rent,if you take accommodation they have found for you.第十一篇A)demands B)happily C)cycle D)habit E)matter F)adaptation G)preferenceH)normal I)takes J)tendency K)temporary L)longer M)unfortunately N)efficientlyO)thanThe normal human daily cycle of activity is of some7-8hours'sleep alternation with some 16-17hours'wakefulness and that the sleep normally coincides with the hours of darkness.Ourpresent concern is with how easily and to what extent this31can be modified.The question is no mere academic one.The ease with which people can change from working in the day to working at night is a32of growing importance in industry where automation callsfor round-the-clock working of machines.It normally33from five days to one week for aperson to adapt to a reserved routine of sleep and wakefulness,sleeping during the day andworking at night.34,it is often the case in industry that shifts are changed every week.Thismeans that no sooner has he got used to one routine35he has to change to another,so thatmuch of his time is spent neither working nor sleeping very36.One answer would seem to be37periods on each shift,a month,or even three months.However,,recent research has shown that people on such systems will revert to go back to their38habits of sleep and wakefulness during the week-end and that this is quite enough todestroy any39to night work built up during the week.The only real solution appears to be to hand over the night shift to those permanent night workers whose40may persist through all week-ends and holidays.第十二篇A)flavor B)massively C)largely D)identical E)same F)distinguishable G)buys H)diverting I)distinctive J)stripped K)commodity L)peeled M)switching N)as O)ensureDuring McDonald's early years French fries were made from scratch every day.Russet Burbank potatoes were31,cut into shoestrings,and fried in its kitchens.32the chain expanded nationwide,in the mid-1960s,it sought to cut labour costs,reduce the number of suppliers,and33that its fries tasted the same at every restaurant.McDonald's began34to frozen French fries in1966–and few customers noticed the difference.Nevertheless,the change had a profound effect on the nation's agriculture and diet.A familiar food had been transformed into a highly processed industrial35.McDonald's fries now come from huge manufacturing plants that can process two million pounds of potatoes a day.The expansion of McDonald's and the popularity of its low-cost,mass-produced fries changed the way Americans eat.The taste of McDonald's French fries played a crucial role in the chain's success–fries are much more profitable than hamburgers–and was long praised by customers,competitors,and even food critics.Their36taste does not stem from the kind of potatoes that McDonald's37, the technology that processes them,or the restaurant equipment that fries them:other chains use Russet Burbank,buy their French fries from the38large processing companies,and have similar fryers in their restaurant kitchens.The taste of a French fry is39determined by the cooking oil.For decades McDonald's cooked its French fries in a mixture of about7per cent cottonseed oil and93per cent beef fat.The mixture gave the fries their unique40.第十三篇A)however B)therefore C)what D)sufficiently E)surprisingly F)singular G)moreover H)uncountable I)single J)relevant K)having L)referred to M)numerous N)similar O)evenPeople thinking about the origin of language for the first time usually arrive at the conclusion that it developed gradually as a system of grunts,hisses and cries and must have been a very simple affair in the beginning.31,when we observe the language behaviour of32we regard as primitive cultures,we find it33complicated.It was believed that an Eskimo must have the tip of his tongue a vocabulary of more than10,000words so as to get along reasonably well,much larger than the active vocabulary of an average businessman who speaks English. 34,these Eskimo words are far more highly infleeted(词尾变化的)than those of any of the well-known European languages,for a35noun can be spoken or written in several hundred different forms,each36a precise meaning different from that of any other.The forms of the verbs are even more37.The Eskimo language is,therefore,one of the most difficult in the world to learn,with the result that almost no traders or explorers have38 tried to learn it.Consequently,there has grown up,in communication between Eskimos and whites,a jargon39to the pidgin English used in Old China,with a vocabulary of from300 to600uninflected words.Most of them are derived from Eskimo but some are derived from English,Danish,Spanish,Hawaiian and other languages.It is this jargon that is usually40 by travellers as"the Eskimo language".第十四篇A)use B)applies C)should D)qualities E)acquaintance F)distinctions G)switch H)refers I)required J)essential K)unnecessary L)consequently M)rather than N)amounts O)howeverThe translator must have an excellent,up-to-date knowledge of his source languages,full facility in the handling of his target language,which will be his mother tongue or language of habitual31and a knowledge and understanding of the latest subject-matter in his field of specialization.This is,as it were,his professional equipment.In addition to this,it is desirable that he should have an inquiring mind,wide interests,a good memory and the ability to grasp quickly the basic principles of new developments.He should be willing to work of is own,often at high speeds,but should be humble enough to consult others32his own knowledge not always prove adequate to the task in hand.He should be able to type fairly quickly and accurately and,if he is working mainly for publication,should have more than a nodding33with printing techniques and proof-reading.If he is working basically as an information translator,let us say,for an industrial firm,he should have the flexibility of mind to enable him to34rapidly from one source language to another,as well as from one subject-matter to another,since this ability is frequently35of him in such work.Bearing in mind the nature of the translator's work,i.e.the processing of the written word,it is,strictly speaking,36that he should be able to speak the language he is dealing with.If he does speak them,it is an advantage37a hindrance,but this skill is in many ways a luxury that he can do away with.It is,38,desirable that he should have an approximate idea about the pronunciation of his source languages even if this is restricted to knowing how proper names and place names are pronounced.The same39to an ability to write his source languages.If he can,well and good;if he cannot,it does not matter.There are many other skills and40that are desirable in a translator.第十五篇A)distinguished B)fills C)called D)on E)in contrast F)inclines G)fundamental H)nevertheless I)take J)apply K)in the case of L)elementary M)therefore N)recognized O)tendsThe difference between a liquid and a gas is obvious on the conditions of temperature and pressure commonly found at the surface of the Earth.A liquid can be kept in an open container and31it to the level of a free surface.A gas forms no free surface but32to diffuse throughout the space available;it must33be kept in a closed container,as34a planet's atmosphere.The distinction was a prominent feature of early theories describing the phases of matter.In the nineteenth century,for example,one theory maintained that a liquid could be "dissolved"in a vapor without losing its identity,and another theory held that the two phases are 35different kinds of molecules(分子).The theories now prevailing36a quite different approach by emphasizing what liquids and gases have in common.They are both forms of matter that have no permanent structure,and they both flow easily.They are fluids.The37similarly of liquids and gases becomes clearly apparent when the temperature and pressure are raised somewhat.Suppose a closed container partially filled with a liquid is heated. The liquid expands or in other words,becomes less dense;some of it evaporates.38,the vapor above the liquid surface becomes denser as the evaporated molecules are added to it.The combination of temperature and pressure at which the densities become equal is39the criticalpoint.Above the critical point the liquid and the gas can no longer be40;there is a single, undifferentiated fluid phase of uniform density.第十六篇A)earned B)provided C)adapted D)match E)however F)rival G)adapted H)deserved I)available J)bestowed K)developed L)generated M)endowed N)accustomed O)doomedOur ape-men forefathers had no obvious natural weapons in the struggle for survival in the open.They had neither the powerful teeth nor the strong claws of the big cats.They could not31 with the bear,whose strength,speed and claws32an impressive‘small-fire'weaponry.They could not even defend themselves by running swiftly like the horses,zebras or small animals.If the ape-man had attempted to compete on those terms in the open,they would have been33to failure and extinction.But they were34with enormous concealed advantages of a kind not possessed by any of their competitors.In the search of the pickings of the forest,the ape-men had35efficient stereoscopic vision and a sense of color that the animals of the grasslands did not possess.The ability to see clearly at close range permitted the ape-men to study practical problems in a way that lay far beyond the reach of the original inhabitants of the grassland.Good long-distance sight was quite another matter.Lack of long-distance vision had not been a problem for forest-dwelling apes and monkeys because the higher the viewpoint,the greater the range of sight–so all they had had to do was climb a tree.Out in the open,however,this simple solution was not36.Climbing a hill would have helped,but in many places the ground was flat.The ape-men37the only possible solution.They reared up as high as possible on their hind limbs and began to walk upright.This vital change of physical position brought about considerable disadvantages.It was extremely unstable and it meant that the already slow ape-men became slower still.38,they persevered and their bone structure graduallyBecause39to the new,unstable position that40them the name Homo erectus,upright man.第十七篇A)working B)claim C)innocently D)have E)yet F)request G)fitness H)expansion I)wider J)coped K)rapidly L)instantly M)faced N)ampler O)cultivationThe way that people spend their money,and the objects on which they spend it,are the last areas where free choice and individuality can be expressed.The choice reflects personal taste,the way people see themselves and the fantasies they31about their lives,the restrictions on money available to them,the presence of others in the family with a32on that money,and the influence of current convention,33,surroundings and locality.Shopping is an important human activity.Yet shoppers are34with a confusing situation and a(n)35changing one.The confusion arises from the claims made by adverting,from inadequate information about new products,new materials,new places to shop–a confusion enhanced by rising prices and a(n) 36choice of goods than ever before.The search for the right purchase is based on ignorance of one’s own needs and ignorance of the product's37for those needs.When choosing any particular item,there are several lines of communication which might provide some guidance.38none of these is entirely satisfactory. For example,you can ask a shop assistant initially.Even if you find one,she may quite39notknow the answers.She may be a schoolgirl with a Saturday job,or a housewife40part-time.第十八篇A)throughout B)held C)caught D)between E)spread F)roused G)idea H)requested I)fixed J)rules K)strength L)defined M)required N)among O)imitateUnlike most sports which evolved over time from street games basketball was designed by one man to suit a particular purpose.The man was Dr.James Naismith,and his purpose was to invent a vigorous game that could be played indoors in the winter.In1892,Naismith was an instructor at a training school,which trained physical education instructors for the YMCAs.That year the school was trying to come up with a physical activity that the men could enjoy31the football and baseball seasons.None of the standard indoor activities32their interest for long.Naismith was asked to solve the problem by the school.He first tried to33some of the popular outdoor sports,but they were all too rough.The men were getting bruised from tackling each other and being hit with equipment.So,Naismith decided to invent a game that would incorporate the most common elements of outdoor team sports without having the real physical contact.Most popular sports used a ball.So he chose a soccer ball because it was soft and large enough that it34no equipment,such as a hat or a racket to hit it.Next he decide on an elevated goal,so that scoring would depend on skill and accuracy rather than on35only.His goals were two peach baskets,36to ten-foot high balconies at each end of the gym.The basic37of the game was to throw the ball into the basket.Naismith wrote rules for the game,many of which,though with some small changes,are still in effect.Basketball was an immediate success.The students38it to their friends,and the new sport quickly39on.Today,basketball is one of the most popular games40the world.第十九篇A)housekeeper B)maintained C)generations D)voluntary E)original F)deliberate G) architectural H)primitive I)extends J)tenant K)to L)compulsory M)inland N)initial O)unspoiledSince1895the National Trust(国家文物信托基金会)has worked for the preservation of places of historic interest and natural beauty in England,Wales and Northern Ireland.Today the Trust which is not a government department but a charity depending on the31 support of the public and its own conservation society in Britain.Wherever you go,you are close to land that is protected and32by the National Trust. Over350miles of33coastline:90,000acres of land,lakes and forests in one area of natural beauty alone;pre-historic and Roman ruins;moorlands and farmland,woods and islands,lengths of34water-ways;even seventeen whole village–all are open to the public at all times subject only35the needs of farming,forestry and the protection of wildlife.But the Trust's protection36further than this.It has in its possession a hundred gardens and some two hundred historic buildings which it opens to paying visitors.Castles and churches, houses of37or historic importance,mills,gardens and parks haveb=been given to the Trust by their former owners.Many houses retain their38contents of fine furniture,pictures,and other treasures accumulated over39,and often the donor himself continues to live in part of the house as a40of the National Trust.The walking-sticks in the hall,the flowers, silver-framed photographs,books and papers in the morns are signs that the house is still loved and lived in and that visitors are welcomed as private individuals just as much as tourists.。

Once you are in habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often 12 to be. A certain amount of stress is 13 to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor 14 and ill health.The amount of stress a person can 15 depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are 16 prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of 17 difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "fight" or "flight" and in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so 18 , but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued 19 to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links withstress. Since we cannot 20 stress from our lives(it would be unwise to do so even if we could) , we need to find ways to deal with it.A.cancelB. paceC. extremeD. automaticallyE.removeF. vitalG. performanceH. supposedI.rate J. exposure K. achievement L. unusualMobviously N withstand O harsh参考答案11.

Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You 12 to be a pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us, among other 13 , that we do not choose our favorite color as we grow up—we are born with our preference. If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.Colors do 14 our moods—there is no doubt about it. A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is 15 .A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the 16 of more suicides than any other bridge in the area—until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell 17 ; perhaps it would have fallen even more ifthe bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.Light and 18 colors make people not only happier but more active.

You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.Questions 36 to 45 are based on the following passage.England's highest main-line railway station hangs on to life by a thread: deserted and unmanned (无人的)since it was officially closed in 1970. Dent, 36 high in the hills of Yorkshire, wakes up On six summer weekends each year, when a special charter train unloads walkers, sightseers and people who37want to catch a train from the highest station, on to its platform. But even this limited existence may soon be brought to an end.Dent station is situated on the Settle to Carlisle railway line, said to be the most38in the country. But no amount of scenic beauty can save the line from British Rail's cash problems. This year, for the 39 of economy, the express trains which used to pass through Dent station have been put on to another route.It is now an open secret that British Rail sees no future for this railway line. Most of its trains disappeared some time ago. Its bridge, built on a grand 40 a century ago, is falling down. It is not alone. Half-a-dozen railway routes in the north of Englandare facing a similar threat. The problem is a worn-out system and an almost 41 lack of cash to repair it. Bridges and tunnels are showing their age, the wooden supports for the tracks are rotting and engines and coaches are getting old. On42lines between large cities, the problem is not too bad. These lines still make a profit and cash can be found to43 them. But on the country branch line, the story is different. As track wears out, it is not replaced. Instead speed limits are introduced, making journeys longer than necessary and discouraging customers.If a bridge is dangerous, there is often only one thing for British Rail to do: go out and find money from another44. This is exactly what it did a few months ago when a bridge at Bridlington station was threatening to fail down. Repairs were45 at 200,000--just for one bridge--and British Rail was delighted, and rather surprised, when two local councils offered half that amount between them.A. maintainB. scenicC. transcendD. sourceE. estimatedF. sakeG. complexH.simplyI. consolidationJ. situatedK. respectivelyL. totalM. majorN. restrainedO. scale英格兰铁路主干线上海拔最高的火车站命悬一线：自从1970年正式关闭后，它已经被废弃，也没人管理了。
