One Friday afternoon he was riding along the track towards the Henderson farm. He was looking for a prize bull which had escaped from the Borrogee paddock. He reached the hills and saw at once that he could not go further.There had been a fire in the forest which had gone out. But the air was still full of smoke and fallen trees had blocked the track. Jack was just going to turn backwhen he saw something moving in the smoke. He waited. It was a girl on a horse, and she was riding towards him. “There’s a badly burnt man on the farm,” the girl shouted. “He saved my life. Please help me to save him.”The girl was Cathy Henderson. She had been on horseback for two hours. She had to jump over fallen trees that were still burning. Her pony had fallen with her twice. She was thirsty and almost dead from want of sleep. But she rode back to the farm with Jack immediately.Joe Brook was unconscious when they reached him. They lifted him onto Jack’s horse. The ride back to Borrogee was terrible. Cathy was so tired that Jack had to tie her to her pony. The pony was tired too, but its courage was astonishing. It followed Jack right to Borrogee Hospital. Nobody saw them arrive because it was night.“I’ve never seen a horse like that pony,” Jack said. Cathy praised Jack Billabong, but she refused to say anything about the pony, “Joe will write about her in his story,” she said.But she did say one thing: “If flame hadn’t returned to the farm that afternoon, Joe and I would have died.”16. Jack Billabong did not turn back because _____________.A. he hadn’t found the bull yetB. he smelt a heavy smoke in the forestC. he knew there was a burnt man thereD. he saw something moving towards him17. Why was the ride back to Borrogee terrible?A. Because Joe was tired out.B. Because the ride started late at night.C. Because they didn’t have enough courage.D.

Jack asked her not to talk to themC. she was too weak to say anythingD. Joe would write about it in his writing19. What does the word “flame” in the last paragraph refer to?A. Jack.B. The pony.C. Jack’s horse.D. The fire.20. Which of the following is the best title of the story?A. Rescue of Joe Brook.B. Courage of Jack Billabong.C. Love of a Young Girl.D.

Dr. Aiken studied a number of couples who had been married for at least twenty-five years. Each couple provided four photographs—one photo of each partner at the time of their marriage and another photo of each partner twenty-five or more years later. All background was cut from the photos to remove any clues. The photos were then displayed in groups: a random grouping of the persons at the time of their marriage and another random grouping of the same persons who took photographs later. Some testees were asked to pick out the partners. They failed totally with the first group. Their judgements were no better than chance. But with the photos taken twenty-five or more years after the marriage, the testees were quite successful with the most happily-married couples.Dr. Aiken believes there are several reasons why couples grow alike. One reason has something to do with imitation. One person tends to copy or do the same as someone else without knowing it. He says human begins to imitate the expressions of the faces of their loved ones. “Another possible reason,” he says, “is the common experience of the couples.” There is a tendency for people who have the same life experience to change their faces in similar ways. For example, if a couple have suffered from a lot of sad experiences, their faces are likely to change in a similar way.21. Dr. Aiken cut the background from the photos for the purpose of __________.A. imitating the couples’ lifeB. grouping the couples againC. leaving no trace for the testeesD. giving the testees more chances22. The underlined sentence “Their judgements were no better than chance” implies that the testees __________.A. did a good job in making their choices.B. had difficulty in picking out the partnersC. had no chance to make the right judgementsD. did better with the first group than with the second23. The underlined word “imitate” (in Para. 2) has a similar meaning to __________.A. copyB. changeC. knowD. suffer24. From the passage we can draw the conclusion that ___________.A. couples who look alike can live longerB. most partners have been proved to grow alikeC. the influence between partners can be quite strongD. happily-married couples are often richer than others25. The main purpose of the passage is to ___________.A. explain why couples grow alikeB. tell how couples like each otherC. discuss the function of marriageD. describe the life of happily married couplesPassage ThreeThe three biggest lies in America are: (1) “The check is in the mail”, (2) “Of course I’ll respect you in the morning”, and (3) “It was a computer error.”Of these three little white lies, the worst is the third. It’s the only one that can never be true. Today, if a bank statement cheats you out of $ 900 that way, you know what the clerk is sure to say,” It was a computer error.” Nonsense. The computer is reporting nothing more than what the clerk typed into it.The most annoying case of all is when the computerized cashier in the grocery store shows that an item costs more than it actually does. If the innocent buyer points out the mistake, the checker, bagger, and manager all come together and offer the familiar explanation: “It was a compute error.”It wasn’t, of course that computerized cashier is really nothing more than an electric event. The eye reads the Universal Product Code—chat bar of black and white lines in a corner of the package—and then checks the code against a price list stored in memory. If the price list is right, you’ll be charged accurately.Grocery stores update the price list each day—that is, somebody sits at a keyboard and types in the prices. If the price they type in is too high, there are only two explanations: carelessness or dishonesty. But somehow “a computer error” is supposed to excuse everything.One reason we let people hide behind a computer is the common misperception that huge, modern computers are electric brain with “artificial intelligence.” At some point there might be a machine with intelligence but none exists today. The smartest computer on Earth right now is no more intelligent than your average pen. At this point in the development of computers, the only thing any machine can do is what a human has instructed it to do.26. Of the three lies, the one about computer is the worst because the computer itself __________.A. says nonsenseB. cheats customersC. cannot make the errorD. does not admit its error27. According to the author, a computerized cashier is really just ___________.A. a machine to count moneyB. a machine to receive moneyC. an instrument to print codesD. an instrument to read codes28. Grocery store price lists are updated by ____________.A. a computerB. a keyboardC. an employeeD. an electric brain29. The last paragraph of the passage implies that computers ____________.A. are very cleverB. never make mistakesC. have a good memoryD. are controlled by men30. Which of the following describes the main idea of the passage?A. Computers are stupid and inefficient.B. Computer errors are due to its dishonesty.C. Computers help stores update the price list.D. Computer errors are actually human errors.Passage FourI came across an old country guidebook the other day. It listed all the tradesmen in each village, and it was impressive to see the past variety of services which were available on one’s own doorstep in the late Victorian countryside.Nowadays a traveler in rural England might conclude that the only village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the villagers or selling antiques to visitors. Nevertheless, this would really be a false impression. On the surface, there has been a decline of village commerce, but its power is still remarkable.Our local grocer’s shop, for example, is actually expanding in spite of the competition from supermarkets in the nearest town. Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local news while doing their shopping, instead of queuing up at a supermarket. And the grocer knows well that personal service has a considerable cash value. His prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, but he will deliver anything at any time.His assistants think nothing of bicycling down the village street in their lunch hour to take a piece of cheese to an old retired woman who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing. The richer customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour. They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodity outside the usual stock and the grocer, a red faced-figure, instantly obtains it for them.31. Nowadays the commercial services in the village are ____________.A. still very activeB. quickly decliningC. unable to flourishD. personal to visitors32. The local grocer’s shop is expanding because _____________.A. the competition there is weakB. it is a place for women to chatC. it provides good personal serviceD. the goods there are more valuable33. Which of the following is true about the supermarkets?A. Prices there are much higherB. Customers often have to queue up.C. Customers can order by telephone.D. Their personal services are satisfactory.34. How do the village grocer’s assistants feel about giving extra service?A. They don’t think it a trouble.B. They don’t think it worthwhile.C. They don’t consider it a good deal.D. They don’t consider it a pleasant experience.35. One special feature of the village shop is that ___________.A. there is a very wide range of goods availableB. customers can order goods by word of mouthC. customer have to order goods one hour earlierD. there is a list of goods to be delivered to doorstepsPart III Vocabulary and Structure (20 points)Directions: There are 40 incomplete sentences in this part. For each sentence there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that best completes the sentence, mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.36.

Lack of time, motivation, and energy are common barriers to regular exercise. However, there are ways to overcome these obstacles.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage 1Question 51 to 55 are based on the following passage:Censorship (审查制度) is for the good of society as a whole. Imagine what chaos there would be if we lived in a society without laws. Like the law, censorship contributes to the common good.Some people think that it is disgraceful that a censor should interfere with works of art. Who is this person, they say, to ban this great book or cut that great film? No one can set himself up as a superior being. But we must remember two things. Firstly, where genuine works of art are concerned, modern censors are extremely liberal in their views----often far more liberal than a large section of the public. Artistic merit is something which censors clearly recognize. And secondly, we must bear in mind that the great proportion of books, plays and films which come before the censor are very far from being "works of art".When discussing censorship, therefore, we should not confine our attention to great masterpieces, but should consider the vast numbers of publications and films which make up the bulk (大部分) of the entertainment industry. When censorship laws are relaxed, dishonest people are given a licence to produce virtually anything in the name of "art". There is an increasing tendency to equate "artistic" with "pornographic" (色情的).So one of the great things that censorship does is to prevent certain people from making fat profits by corrupting the minds of others. Society would really be poorer if it deprived itself of the wise counsel and the restraining influence which a censor provides.51.A censor's duty is ____.A) to see there is no filthy content in publications or filmsB) to ban books and cut filmsC) to distinguish works of art from othersD) to make sure that no licence is given to dishonest people52.Some people are against censorship for the reason that ____.A) censorship is not consistent with the ideals of democracyB) censors prevent people from making profitsC) censors are conservative and cannot appreciate artistic meritD) censorship limits the way people feel and think53.When the writer says "to equate 'artistic' which 'pornographic', he means ____.A) there is no clear distinction between what is artistic and what is pornographicB) masterpieces are sometimes offensive to decencyC) many pornographic works will be published in the name of artD) artistic works and pornographic works have the same market value54.According to the writer, a society free from censorship ____.A) would be poor materiallyB) would expose its people to dangers of being corruptedC) could not develop its entertainment industryD) would allow only a small section of people to make profits55.All the following are the writer's views except that ____.A) censors are fully qualified for their jobB) masterpieces even with pornographic content are still masterpiecesC) society will not do without censorshipD) many books, plays and films are not works of artPassage 2Question 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:A few weeks ago I was talking to a school inspector in one of the more fashionable districts of Paris. She astonished me by saying that if she had young children today, she'd probably send them to a private school. She had devoted 25 years of her life to the ideal of free public education, she said, but the truth was the state system was in a mess.There are two main problems: State schools in France have to accept whatever teachers are assigned to them by the Ministry of Education. As my school inspector friend put it, "one year a school may be excellent; three or four years later, half the teachers may be incapable!" That is not very reassuring if you're a parent. Private schools can choose their own teachers.The other problem is discipline or, rather, the lack of it. Not long ago a school in Birmingham made headlines in Britain because the teachers were being terrorized by their pupils. In the desolate suburbs of low-cost apartment blocks, thrown together in the 1960s on the outskirts of most big French cities, such stories are commonplace. Vandalism(破坏他人财产的行为), drug-taking and extortion aren't limited to schools in poor areas either. A recent poll found that 88 per cent of French children rate as the biggest problem of their school lives the prevalence (流行, 猖獗)of factions and gangs which spend all their time fighting one another. Small wonder, then, that the private schools, with their emphasis on traditional values, are undergoing a new surge of popularity (despite disapproval from France's new socialist leaders), and competition to get into the best of them has now become intense.56.The French school inspector has long been a supporter of ____.A) compulsory education B) free private education C) private schools D) the state school system57.The French state education system ____.A) does not guarantee the competence of teachers B) seems to have no serious difficultiesC)is running smoothly D) promises to maintain high standards58.Private schools in France today ____.A) are generally undergoing changes for the worseB) enjoy the prestige(声望) of becoming the place to send one's children toC) have become victims of vandalismD) never hire teachers who stress traditional valuesck of discipline among students is rampant in state schools ____.A) in the Paris slums, but not in other areasB) noticeably and solely in the poorer areas in French citiesC) almost everywhere in FranceD) rather restricted to Birmingham60.France children who wish to go to the best private schools can do so by ____.A) taking highly competitive examinations B) simply sending in applicationsC) joining factions and gangs D) drawing lotsPartⅢCloze ( 10 points, 15 minutes )Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should choose theOne that th e best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letteron the Answer Sheet with a single line through the cettre.Today vegetables, fish, fruit, meat and beer are canned in enormous quantities. Within three generations the 81 habits of millions have been revolutionized. Foods that were previously 82 may now be eaten at any time, and strange foods are 83 far from the countries where they are 84 . The crops many farmers now produce often depend on the nearness of a canning factory.The first stage in the canning 85 is the preparation of the raw food. Diseased and waste portions are thrown 86 ; meat and fish are cleaned and trimmed; fruit and vegetables washed and graded for 87 . The jobs are principally 88 by machine.The next stage, for vegetables only, is soak in very 89 or boiling water for a short time to remove air and 90 the vegetable. This makes 91 easierto pack into cans for sterilization (free from living germs).Some packing machines fill 92 to 400 cans a minute. Fruit, fish and meat are packed raw and cold into cans, and then all the air is removed. 93 the cans are sealed, the pressure inside each can is only about half the pressure of the outside air.The sterilization process which follows the cans are subjected 94 steam or boiling water, with the temperature and time 95 according to the type of food. Cans of fruit, for example, 96 only 5-10 minutes in boiling water, 97 meat and fish are cooked at higher temperatures for 98 period. After sterilization, the cans are cooled quickly to 32 degree to prevent the contents 99 becoming too soft.The final stage before sending off to the grocer is labeling, and packing the tins into boxes. Nowadays, however, labeling is often printed on in 100 by the can-maker and no paper labels are then required.81.A) eat B) eatable C) eaten D) eating82.A) monthly B) year-round C) seasonal D) quarterly83.A) accessible B) obtained C) available D) usable84.A) planting B) grown C) growing D) producing85.A) process B) reaction C) procession D) program86.A) about B) away C) down D) up87.A) size B) length C) height D) breadth88.A) had B) fulfilled C) pocked D) done89.A) chilly B) cold C) hot D) freezing90.A) soften B) cook C) steam D) harden91.A) them B) it C) us D) that92.A) up B) down C) in D) on93.A) When B) If C) Although D) Before94.A) on B) to C) in D) at95.A) varies B) vary C) varied D) varying96.A) cost B) spend C) take D) consume97.A) as B) because C) while D) for98.A) less B) longer C) shorter D) more99.A) off B) through C) by D) from100.

At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks didn’t work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sen through another part. In this way the computer network system would keep on working all the time.At first the Internet was only used by the government, but in the 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks began to use it, too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. At the beginning of the 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. Andscientists developed software that made Internet “surfing”more convenient.Today it is easy to get online and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day.16.

The history of the InternetD. Convenient Internet Surfing Passage TwoAlan Chang was a handsome young man with good manners.One morning he was walking along a street on his way to an appointment. He did not want to be early or late. He had forgotten to put on his watch so he went up to a man who was waiting for a taxi.“Excuse me, sir,” he said, very politely, “but could you tell me the time?”The man, who was very well-dressed and looked quite rich, said nothing. He did not even look at Alan. Alan spoke to him again. “Excuse me, sir,”he said, “but could you please tell me what time it is?”This time the man looked at him, but he did not speak and looked quickly away. Alan thought to himself: well, he can hear me; he must be just rude. So Alan asked again, “Why wouldn’t you tell me the time, sir?”The man turned towards him and said, “Put yourself in my shoes. I am standing here waiting for a taxi. You come up to me and ask me for the time. If I tell it to you, you will thank me. I will say ‘That’s all right.’ You may then say ‘It’s a beautiful day,’ to which I may reply ‘Yes, I like these sunny winter days.’ Before we know what is happening we have a friendly conversation. You are a pleasant, polite yo7ung man, so when my taxi comes, I offer you a ride. You accept. We talk. I like you. You like me. I invite you to my home. You meet my daughter. She is a very pretty girl. You are a good-looking man. You like each other. Soonyou fall in love. You want to marry. Now do you understand my problem?”Alan shook his head. “No, sir, I’m sorry, I don’t. Everything you have said seems very natural to me.”“Exactly,” the man said, “and I do not want my daughter to marry a man who is too poor to buy a watch. Good morning to you.” And with these words he hurried away.21. Why did Alan ask the man what time it was?A. He was too late.B. He was very early.C. He had left his watch home.D.

The story is mainly about ____________.A. how rude a person can beB. how one thing leads to anotherC. where a person can’t tell the timeD. why you shouldn’t speak to strangersPassage ThreeWhat are the beauties of Hawaii? Let’s start with four.The beach, famous for its water temperature, air temperature and waves, is the first beauty. There are hundreds of miles of beaches on the twenty islands of Hawaii. They are thought to be among the finest beaches in the world.Then, what do you think would be the second beautiful thing? It is volcanoes (火山), of course. These volcanoes are not just a part of the islands; they made the islands in the first place. Because of them the islands are still growing.What would be the third thing of beauty that the first visitor to Hawaii would notice? It probably wouldn’t be just one thing, but many things: all the wonderful fruits and flowers of the islands. Sugar cane, bananas and pineapples are Hawaii’s biggest exports. Sugar cane has been growing in Hawaii for a thousand years. As for pineapples, the islands produce more than any other places in the world, which has made Dole Company the biggest fruit-packing company in the world.The fourth and most beautiful thing about Hawaii is the people who live there. The Hawaiians never rush, and perhaps this is because they care more for human life than they care for the machine. There is an old Hawaiian law that a man can go to sleep in the middle of the road if he wants to.。

One by one,graffiti-covered walls are being changed into outdoor art. So far, more than 1,800 murals〔壁画〕have been painted. Philadelphia now has more murals than any other American city.The walls that were once ugly with graffiti〔涂鸦〕are now covered with beautiful pictures of historical heroes and modern art, thanks to the Mural Arts Program <MAP>. Its work makes schools and public places attractive, and its citizens very proud. The program began as part of Philadelphia's Anti-Graffiti Network. Jane Golden is the MAP's artistic director. "When people ask me what our program is about," she says, "I answer them with one word: hope." Each year, the MAP offers youth art programs and workshops. Some one-time graffiti writers even help paint MAP murals.The MAP's work, says Golden, is all about developing a sense of munity〔社区〕．When a neighborhood requests a mural, the MAP works with the people there to develop a message. Some messages have been "Safe Streets," "Love and Care," and "Peace Walk."The MAP receives up to 50 requests for murals each week. Last year, the workers painted 140 murals."The making of a mural enters people's collective memory as an extraordinary, pleasant moment in neighborhood history" says Golden, who began as a muralist in Los Angeles.41．What can be the best title for the text?A. Love, from Graffiti Writers to MuralistsB. MAP, a New pany in PhiladelphiaC. Jane, an Excellent Mural ArtistD. Hope, One Wall at a Time42. What is the Mural Arts Program in Philadelphia aimed at? A. Helping the young find jobs. B. Protecting the neighborhood. C. Fighting against graffiti. D. Attracting more visitors.43．How does the MAP decide on the message for a mural? A. By having discussions with people in the munity. B．By seeking advice from the city government. C．By learning from the young graffiti writers. D. By studying the history of the city.44. Which of the following words best describes the work of the MAP? A. Difficult. B．Dangerous. C. Experimental．D. Successful.BFor those who study the development of intelligence〔智力〕in the animal world, self-awareness is an important measurement. An animal that is aware〔意识〕of itself has a high level of intelligence.Awareness can be tested by studying whether the animal recognizes itself in the mirror, that is, its own reflected image〔反射出的影像〕.Many animals fail this exercise bitterly, paying evry little attention tothe reflected image. Only humans, and some intelligent animals like apes and dolphins, have shown to recognize that the image in the mirror is of themselves.Now another animal has joined the club. In the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, researchers report that an Asian elephant has passed the mirror self-reflection test."We thought that elephants were the next important animal,〞 said Dinana Reiss of the Wildlife Conservation Society, an author of the study with Joshua M.Plotnik and Fans B.M. de Waal of Emory University. With their large brains, Reiss said, elephants "seemed like cousins to apes and dolphins.〞The researchers tested Happy, Maxine and Patty, three elephants at the Bronx Zoo.They put an 8-foot-square mirror on a wall of the animals’ play area <out of the sight of zoo visitors> and recorded what happened with cameras, including one built in the mirror.The elephants used their long noses to find what was behind it, and to examine parts of their bodies.Of the three, Happy then passed the test, in which a clear mark was painted on one side of her face. She could tell the mark was there by looking in the mirror, and she used the mirror to touch the mark with her long nose.Diana Reiss said, "We knew elephants were intelligent, but now we can talk about their intelligence in a better way."45. What can mirror tests tell us about animals? A. Whether they have large brains. B．Whether they have self-awareness. C. Whether they enjoy outdoor exercises.D. Whether they enjoy playing with mirrors.46. Why does the author mention apes and dolphins in the text? A. They are most familiar to readers. B. They are big favorites with zoo visitors. C. They are included in the study by Reiss. D. They are already known to be intelligent.47. What made Happy different from Maxine and Patty? A. She used her nose to search behind the mirror. B. She recognized her own image in the mirror. C. She painted a mark on her own face. D. She found the hidden camera.C Student Membership--Cambridge Arts CinemaCambridge Arts Cinema is one of the art houses in Britain and home of the internationally celebrated Cambridge Film Festival.

I received a letter from the head of the Personnel Department that started, "Dear John, I am quite pleased that you have decided to join us." That "quite" saddened me. I thought he was saying "we're kind of pleased you decided to join us although I wish we had hired someone else." Then I discovered that in American English "quite" sometimes means "very", while in British English it means "fairly".So the first lesson about working in other countries is to learn the language and by that I don't just mean the words people speak. It is body language, dress, manners, ideas and so on. The way people do things highlights many of the differences we see between cultures〔文化〕．Some of these differences may be only on the surface-dress, food and hours of work-while others may be deeper and take longer to deal with. Mostly, it is just a question of getting used to the differences and accepting them, like the climate〔气候〕,while getting on with business.Some of the differences may be an improvement. People are more polite; the service is better; you ask for something to be done and it happens without having to ask again. However, other differences can be troubling, like punctuality〔准时〕．If you invite people to a party at 7 o'clock your guests will consider it polite to turn up exactly on time in Germany, five minutes early in theAmerican Midwest, an hour early in Japan, 15 minutes afterwards in the UK, up to an hour afterwards in Italy and some time in the evening in Greece. I prefer not to use the word "late" because there is nothing wrong with the times people arrive. It is simply the accepted thing to do in their own country..isujiao.52. The author was unhappy as mentioned in Paragraph 1 because he thought______． A. the American bank didn't think much of him B. the American bank might hire another person C. it's difficult to get used to American culture D. it's easy to misunderstand Americans53．The word "highlights" in Paragraph 2 probablymeans_____. A. encourages B. helps to narrow C. increases D. draws attention to54. According to the author, what should we do with most cultural differences? A. Ask the native people for help. B. Understand and accept them. C. Do things in our own way. D. Do in-depth research.55. When invited to a party the people who are usually punctual are______. A. Italians B. Germans C. Greeks D. the BritishE"I didn't hear them call my name," explained Shelley Hennig to Active Teens <AT> as she talked about that exciting moment on national television when she won the honor of Miss Teen USA 2004. "Are you ready?" is what she heard. Then she said, "I shook my head no, and then they said ‘yes’ and it was announced again."It was four days after that life changing moment for the seventeen-year-old high school student from Destrehan, Louisiana----she was still on cloud nine．"I was so shocked! I never believed that it could actually really happen." Present in the audience〔观众〕that day were: her mother and father, older brother, her friends, and her dance teacher.Understanding why members of her family and her friends would be there, AT asked why herdance teacher had traveled so far to see her pete〔比赛〕．"She's always been my role model．I've danced with her since I was six. She's been through so many difficulties and came through them all. I've learned to get over bad life's experiences and learned how to move on because of her."One of those bad life's experiences for Shelley happened three years ago when her brother Brad was killed in a drunk driving accident. He was 18. She found writing helped her get through the rough days. She said, "I write a lot about my brother. I write a lot, a lot, a lot...〞As Miss Louisiana Teen, she traveled around the state speaking to teens 〔青少年〕about the dangers of drinking and driving. In her role as Miss Teen USA, Sheiley will continue to speak to youth about safe driving, in addition to many other things to help the youth.When AT asked Miss Teen USA if she had any advice for our readers, she said, "Don't let anyone change you. Hang out with people that make you feel good about yourself. That way, it is easy to be yourself."56.What do the words "on cloud nine〞 in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. frightenedB. troubledC. very happyD. very angry57.Shelley takes her dance teachers as a role medel mainly because she is .

选出最佳选项 Number sense is not the ability to count. It is the ability to recognize a __1__ in number. Human beings are born with this ability. __2__，experiments show that many animals are, too. For example, many birds have good number sense. If a nest has four eggs and you remove one, the bird will not __3__．However, if you remove two, the bird __4__ leaves. This means that the bird knows the __5__ between two and three. Another interesting experiment showed a bird's __6__ number sense. A man was trying to take a photo of a crow(乌鸦)that had a nest in a tower, but the crow always left when she saw him coming. The bird did not __7__ until the man left the tower. The man had an __8__．He took another man with him to the tower. One man left and the other stayed, but they did not __9__ the bird. The crow stayed away until the second man left, too. The experiment was __10__ with three men and then with four men. But the crow did not return to the nest until all the men were __11__． It was not until five men went into the tower and only four left that they were __12__ able to fool the crow. How good is a human's number sense? It's not very good. For example, babies about fourteen months old almost always notice if something is taken away from a __13__ group. But when the number goes beyond three or four, the children are __14__ fooled. It seems that number sense is something we have in common with many animals in this world，and that our human __15__ is not much better than a crow's. 1．A. rise C. change B. pattern D. trend B．Surprisingly

afternoon he was riding along the track towards the Henderson f arm.He was looking for a prize bull which had escaped from the Borrogee paddock.He reached the hills and s aw at once that he could not go further.There had been a fire in the forest which had gone out.But the air was still full of smoke and fallen trees had blocked the track.Jack was just going to turn back when he saw something moving in the smoke.He wait ed.It was a girl on a horse,and she was riding towards him.“There’s a badly burnt man on the farm,”the girl shouted.“He saved my life.Please help me to save him.”The girl was Cathy Henderson.She had been on horseback for two hours.She had to jump over fallen tre es that were still burning.Her pony had fallen with her twice.She was thirsty and almost dead from want of sl eep.But she rode back to the farm with Jack immediately.Joe Brook was unconscious when they reached him.They lifted him onto Jack’s horse.The ride back to B orrogee was terrible.Cathy was so tired that Jack had to tie her to her pony.The pony was tired too,but its co urage was astonishing.It followed Jack right to Borrogee Hospital.Nobody saw them arrive because it was nig ht.“I’ve never seen a horse like that pony,”Jack said.Cathy praised Jack Billabong,but she refused to say an ything about the pony,“Joe will write about her in his story,”she said.But she did say one thing:“If flame hadn’t returned to the farm that afternoon,Joe and I would have died.”16.Jack Billabong did not turn back because_____________.A.he hadn’t found the bull yetB.he smelt a heavy smoke in the forestC.he knew there was a burnt man thereD.he saw something moving towards him17.Why was the ride back to Borrogee terrible?A.Because Joe was tired out.B.Because the ride started late at night.C.Because they didn’t have enough courage.D.Because both Cathy and her pony were exhausted.18.Cathy refused to talk to reporters about the pony when she was in Borrogee Hospital because______ ______.A.she didn’t know what to sayB.Jack asked her not to talk to themC.she was too weak to say anythingD.Joe would write about it in his writing19.What does the word“flame”in the last paragraph refer to?A.Jack.B.The pony.C.Jack’s horse.D.The fire.20.Which of the following is the best title of the story?A.Rescue of Joe Brook.B.Courage of Jack Billabong.C.Love of a Young Girl.D.Heroism of a Lovely Pony.Passage TwoThe faces of elderly,happily-married people sometimes resemble each other.Dr.Aiken studied a number of couples who had been married for at least twenty-five years.Each couple provided four photographs—one photo of each partner at the time of their marriage and another photo of each partner twenty-five or more y ears later.All background was cut from the photos to remove any clues.The photos were then displayed in gr oups:a random grouping of the persons at the time of their marriage and another random grouping of the sa me persons who took photographs later.Some testees were asked to pick out the partners.They failed totally with the first group.Their judgements were no better than chance.But with the photos taken twenty-five or more years after the marriage,the testees were quite successful with the most happily-married couples.Dr.Aiken believes there are several reasons why couples grow alike.One reason has something to do wit h imitation.One person tends to copy or do the same as someone else without knowing it.He says human be gins to imitate the expressions of the faces of their loved ones.“Another possible reason,”he says,“is the co mmon experience of the couples.”There is a tendency for people who have the same life experience to cha nge their faces in similar ways.For example,if a couple have suffered from a lot of sad experiences,their faces are likely to change in a similar way.21.Dr.Aiken cut the background from the photos for the purpose of__________.A.imitating the couples’lifeB.grouping the couples againC.leaving no trace for the testeesD.giving the testees more chances22.The underlined sentence“Their judgements were no better than chance”implies that the testees___ _______.A.did a good job in making their choices.B.had difficulty in picking out the partnersC.had no chance to make the right judgementsD.did better with the first group than with the second23.The underlined word“imitate”(in Para.2)has a similar meaning to__________.A.copyB.changeC.knowD.suffer24.From the passage we can draw the conclusion that___________.A.couples who look alike can live longerB.most partners have been proved to grow alikeC.the influence between partners can be quite strongD.happily-married couples are often richer than others25.The main purpose of the passage is to___________.A.explain why couples grow alikeB.tell how couples like each otherC.discuss the function of marriageD.describe the life of happily married couplesPassage ThreeThe three biggest lies in America are:(1)“The check is in the mail”,(2)“Of course I’ll respect you in the m orning”,and(3)“It was a computer error.”Of these three little white lies,the worst is the third.It’s the only one that can never be true.Today,if a b ank statement cheats you out of$900that way,you know what the clerk is sure to say,”It was a computer er ror.”Nonsense.The computer is reporting nothing more than what the clerk typed into it.The most annoying case of all is when the computerized cashier in the grocery store shows that an item c osts more than it actually does.If the innocent buyer points out the mistake,the checker,bagger,and manage r all come together and offer the familiar explanation:“It was a compute error.”It wasn’t,of course that computerized cashier is really nothing more than an electric event.The eye read s the Universal Product Code—chat bar of black and white lines in a corner of the package—and then checks t he code against a price list stored in memory.If the price list is right,you’ll be charged accurately.Grocery stores update the price list each day—that is,somebody sits at a keyboard and types in the price s.If the price they type in is too high,there are only two explanations:carelessness or dishonesty.But someho w“a computer error”is supposed to excuse everything.One reason we let people hide behind a computer is the common misperception that huge,modern com puters are electric brain with“artificial intelligence.”At some point there might be a machine with intelligence but none exists today.The smartest computer on Earth right now is no more intelligent than your average pen.At this point in the development of computers,the only thing any machine can do is what a human has instr ucted it to do.26.Of the three lies,the one about computer is the worst because the computer itself__________.A.says nonsenseB.cheats customersC.cannot make the errorD.does not admit its error27.According to the author,a computerized cashier is really just___________.A.a machine to count moneyB.a machine to receive moneyC.an instrument to print codesD.an instrument to read codes28.Grocery store price lists are updated by____________.A.a computerB.a keyboardC.an employeeD.an electric brain29.The last paragraph of the passage implies that computers____________.A.are very cleverB.never make mistakesC.have a good memoryD.are controlled by men30.Which of the following describes the main idea of the passage?puters are stupid and inefficient.puter errors are due to its dishonesty.puters help stores update the price list.puter errors are actually human errors.Passage FourI came across an old country guidebook the other day.It listed all the tradesmen in each village,and it was impressive to see the past variety of services which were available on one’s own doorstep in the late Victoria n countryside.Nowadays a traveler in rural England might conclude that the only village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the villagers or selling antiques to visitors.Nevertheless,this would really be a fals e impression.On the surface,there has been a decline of village commerce,but its power is still remarkable.Our local grocer’s shop,for example,is actually expanding in spite of the competition from supermarkets i n the nearest town.Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local news while doing their shoppin g,instead of queuing up at a supermarket.And the grocer knows well that personal service has a considerable cash value.His prices may be a bit higher than those in the town,but he will deliver anything at any time.His assistants think nothing of bicycling down the village street in their lunch hour to take a piece of chees e to an old retired woman who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing.T he richer customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour.They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodity outside the usual stock and the grocer,a red faced-figure,ins tantly obtains it for them.31.Nowadays the commercial services in the village are____________.A.still very activeB.quickly decliningC.unable to flourishD.personal to visitors32.The local grocer’s shop is expanding because_____________.A.the competition there is weakB.it is a place for women to chatC.it provides good personal serviceD.the goods there are more valuable33.Which of the following is true about the supermarkets?A.Prices there are much higherB.Customers often have to queue up.C.Customers can order by telephone.D.Their personal services are satisfactory.34.How do the village grocer’s assistants feel about giving extra service?A.They don’t think it a trouble.B.They don’t think it worthwhile.C.They don’t consider it a good deal.D.They don’t consider it a pleasant experience.35.One special feature of the village shop is that___________.A.there is a very wide range of goods availableB.customers can order goods by word of mouthC.customer have to order goods one hour earlierD.there is a list of goods to be delivered to doorstepsPart III Vocabulary and Structure(20points)Directions:There are40incomplete sentences in this part.For each sentence there are4choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the one that best completes the sentence,mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET with a single line through the center.36.During the

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.When we meet a person, our first impression is based on their body language and their speech. When someone goes up on a stage, or gives a presentation at a business meeting, many pairs of eyes will be following and judging this person. If you are up there and talking, you want to give your best impression. While many workshops and online videos focus on teaching us how to adjust our body language to appear confident and convince others of our message, less attention is given to how we phrase things. Speech should flow, but there is this one little bad habit most of us have—one that builds a dam in our flowing sentences. This habit makes our message sound as if we are building our foundations on quicksand. Do you know which bad habit I mean? It is the habit of using that not-even-a-word in too many sentences, i.e., the habit of saying “uhm”—something we generally are not even aware of. When we let this habit slip into our speech, it weakens our message, and our audience and clients will be less convinced of our claims. The nasty thing about “uhm” is that it’ s often too tiny to even notice. It has become part of our expressions and virtually everybody does it. Therefore, it takes practice and effort to unlearn stuffing our sentences with it. To get a hold of your bad habit of using “uhm” , you can try the following exercises: 1)Record your speech when you prepare: 2)Write out your entire speech beforehand: 3)Take a moment to center yourself: and 4)Speak a little more slowly. Make a pledge today: drop the “uhm”!16．The main topic of the passage is______.A．how to give a good impressionB．how to use body languageC．how to build confidenceD．how to make your speech flow正确答案：D17．By the “bad habit” , the author refers to______.A．speaking very slowlyB．speaking too fastC．speaking in a broken wayD．speaking in a critical way正确答案：C18．The “bad habit” is harmful because it makes the speaker look______.A．stupidB．unpreparedC．unconfidentD．unfriendly正确答案：C19．The word “unlearn” (Para. 5)can be replaced with “______.”A．undoB．stopC．breakD．move正确答案：B20．The last paragraph is concerned with______.A．the strategies to get rid of the bad habitB．the importance of forming good habitsC．the difficulties in speech preparationD．the necessity of being confident正确答案：AIn the old days, when schools wanted to communicate with parents, they sent a letter home. Now, in addition to email, schools and parents can connect through social media like Twitter, Facebook and Skype. The Houston Independent School District in Texas has more than two hundred thousand students. Most of them come from lower-income families. Education Week recently reported on a digital literacy training program that the district has just started for parents. The school district with help from Microsoft has established computer training centers for parents at five of its campuses. Other schools around the country are also increasing their digital services and not just in English. Many schools provide information in Spanish and other languages. Free online translation sites can also help parents stay informed about their children’ s education. Some school systems also give parents online access to their children’s grades and school work. Six hundred students attend Knapp Elementary School near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Principal Joe Mazza says almost one in five students come from Bangladesh and twelve percent from South Korea. The school diversity is clear as soon as visitors enter the building. “So if you are walking in our school lobby, you are going to see English, Bengali, Korean, Spanish and all of the Finnish in the school. Now we feel that a welcoming, bright, informative, child-centered lobby really helps parents feel welcomed, honored andrespected.”21．Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a means for schools to communicate with parents?A．Social media.B．Parent meetings.C．Letters.D．Email.正确答案：B22．The digital literacy training program is intended to______.A．help students learn foreign languagesB．better the education of studentsC．help parents to use computersD．promote the development of social media正确答案：C23．Schools provide information in various languages to______.A．better communicate with parentsB．help students to find jobsC．help parents communicate with each otherD．meet legal requirements of the state正确答案：A24．The lobby described in the last paragraph illustrates the feature of______.A．first-class environmentB．convenient facilitiesC．digital servicesD．school diversity正确答案：D25．As can be inferred from the passage, ______.A．students from lower-income families need more careB．students from different countries should be respectedC．schools value their communication with parentsD．parents need to learn more about social media正确答案：CI was nervous—desperately nervous—about becoming car-free. But eight months ago our car was hit, and the damage was so bad it had to be given up. And that’s when I had an idea. Why not just give up having a car at all? The more I thought about it, the more sensible it seemed. We have a railway station behind our house, a tube station 10 minutes’ walk away, and a bus stop at the end of the street. If any family in Britain could live without a car, I reasoned, then surely we were that family? But my new car-free plan wasn’t shared by my family. My teenage daughters were shocked. How would they get to and from university? (A bus, I suggested.)What would their friends think about our family being “too poor to afford a car” ? (I wasn’ t that bothered what they thought, and I suggested they take the same approach.) My friends, too, were astonished at our plan. Wasn’ t a car essential, when you had children? What would happen if someone got seriously ill overnight and needed to go to hospital (erm...an ambulance?). People smiled, as though this was another of my mad ideas, before saying they were sure I’d soon realise that a car wasn’ t a luxury, it was a necessity. Eight months on, I wonder whether we’ 11 ever own a car again. The idea that you “have” to own a car, especially if you live in a city, is all in the mind. I live—and many other people do too—in a community that has never been better served by public transport, and yet car ownership has never been higher. Do I really need a car? The answer, for me, turned out to be no, and I’m a lot richer because I dared to ask the question.26．The author decided to live a car-free life______.A．after his car was damaged beyond repairB．after he was hurt in a terrible car accidentC．because maintaining a car was too costlyD．because the traffic jam was too much for him正确答案：A27．Which can best describe the attitude of the author’ s family toward his plan?A．Supportive.B．Understanding.C．Indifferent.D．Opposing.正确答案：D28．What did the author suggest his daughters do in response to what others may say about owning a car?A．Think it over.B．Take their advice.C．Argue with them.D．Ignore them.正确答案：D29．What did the author’ s friends try to tell him?A．It is possible to live a car-free life.B．There is no need for expensive cars.C．A car is a necessary part of life.D．They’ 11 follow him if he’ s successful.正确答案：C30．What conclusion does the author draw after the eight-month car-free life?A．He needs to buy a new car.B．He is better off without a car.C．Life without a car is a little bit hard.D．A car-free life does not suit everyone.正确答案：BAs any working mum can tell you, running a business and a family at the same time is an almost impossible act. There are never enough hours in the day and most days spill well into the late evening hours. My story starts with a simple red bump (小包)on my back. Turns out, the bump was actually skin cancer! The diagnosis hit me like a ton of bricks. I was in my mid-20s and living a very healthy life. Cancer at that point was unimaginable. And, yet, it was all too true. After crying and crying for days, I finally decided to do something positive about my skin cancer diagnosis. After researching, I knew scientists had found that UV(紫外线)exposure as a child leads to skin cancer later in life—especially for fair skinned people—and I did not want my children to suffer the same fate. So, I decided to quit my job and start my own business. Thus was born SwimZip swimwear—stylish swimsuits with protection that block 99% of those nasty cancer causing UV rays. These cute, sun protective clothes can actually save lives! The choice to follow my passion and help prevent children from getting skin cancer was an easy one, but turning that passion into a successful business, while being a full-time mum, was a whole different story. Being a mum and business owner has been very difficult. I often feel like I cannot ever give as much energy to parenting or working as I would like. After several busy work days, I know I have to take a break, leave the phone at home, and just go out and give 100% to my child. Of course, by the time I get back to being CEO, the “to-do”list has grown enormous te (late, late, late!)nights are the norm. Starting a business from the ground up, and while parenting full time, has been an enormous challenge.31．The author is all the following EXCEPT ______.A．a business womanB．a full-time parentC．a sufferer of skin cancerD．a swim wear model正确答案：D32．According to the passage, skin cancer is likely caused by______.A．childhood exposure to UVB．sensitivity of the skinC．unhealthy swimsuitsD．staying up late正确答案：A33．“Late (late, late, late!)nights are the norm” (Para. 5)is closest in meaning to “______.”A．She works more efficiently at nightB．She often reads story books at nightC．She usually works late into the nightD．She normally mails packages at night正确答案：C34．What led the author to quit her job and start her own business?A．She was unable to hold her job because of her condition.B．She wanted to help prevent children from getting skin cancer.C．She wanted to set an example for her children.D．She could earn more money to raise the family.正确答案：B35．The author most likely sells swimwear specially made for______.A．adultsB．childrenC．sportsmenD．infants正确答案：BPart II V ocabulary and Structure (30%)Directions: In this part, there are 30 incomplete sentences.

2013广东英语试题和答案

Number sense is not the ability to count. It is the ability to recognize a 1 in number. Human beings are born with this ability. 2 , experiments show that many animals are, too. For example, many birds have good number sense. If a nest has four eggs and you remove one, the bird will not 3 . However, if you remove two, the bird 4 leaves. This means that the bird knows the 5 between two and three.Another interesting experiment showed a bird’s 6 number sense. A man was trying to take a photo of a crow (乌鸦) that had a nest in a tower, but the crow always left when she saw him coming. The bird did not 7 until the man left the tower. The man had an 8 . He took another man with him to the tower. One man left and the other stayed, but they did not 9 the bird. The crow stayed away until the second man left, too. The experiment was 10 with three men and then with four men. But the crow did not return to the nest until all the men were 11 . It was not until five men went into the tower and only four left that they were 12 able to fool the crow.How good is a human’s number sense? It’s not very good. For example, babies about fourteen months old almost always notice if something is taken away from a 13 group. But when the number goes beyond three or four, the children are 14 fooled.It seems that number sense is something we have in common with many animals in this world, and that our human 15 is not much better than a crow’s.1.

GoodbyePart II Reading Comprehension (40points)Directions:There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, Cand D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneThe comfort zone is our living, work, and social environments that we have grown accustomed to. It determines the type of friends we make or people we associate with. It determines a life style we accept or reject.Young people are very adaptable; they can adjust to changing comfort zones with ease. They can socialize with homeless people in the morning and be equally at ease at a formal banquet in the evening. As we age, the ability to adapt to wide-ranging comfort zones becomes more difficult. Social prejudice narrows the comfort zone range. The comfort zone can be a decision making tool.Comfort zones are directly related to our dreams or goals, which is associated with self-fulfilling prophecy(预言). In order to grow and change, we must first be discontent with our current comfort zone. We must realize that all meaningful and lasting changes occur first in daydreaming and then they work their way into reality.The more clearly and vividly we fantasize our dream, the stronger and more real the pictures on the subconscious level will become. Once our subconscious accepts this image and its expectation, it will go to work, searching for a way to bring it into reality. If we feel that these things are too good for us, we will find ways to fail. If, however, we intentionally imagine the change we want, build an expectation of the change mentally and emotionally, and we will find ways to acquire dream and, when mentally ready, it will arrive faster than we ever thought possible.For some people, problems, suffering, poverty, bad breaks are their comfort zone. They find comfort in finding fault and complaining about their misfortune. The same is true for businesses. Management and workers have grown used to seeing things go wrong and expect them too. Management finds comfort in finding fault with workers and workers and vice versa.Note: If the comfort zone we are seeking is beyond our current income, then, we need to develop a service that has greater value than our current one. Money, power and influence are not goals; they are rewards ONLY for personal achievement.16.As one grows older, ______.A. one’s comfort zone becomes narrowerB. one finds comfort zone more easilyC. one becomes more sympatheticD. one behaves better in social gathering17.What does “be discontent with our current comfort zone” (Para.3) mean?A. Be prepared to realize our dreams.B. Keep dreaming of unrealistic goals.C. Picture our dreams clearly and vividly.D. Be dissatisfied with our present life.18.According to the author, daydreaming ______.A. requires a clear goal in mindB. does little good to the pursuit of happinessC. prepares us for meaningful changes in lifeD. wastes our time and energy19.It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that ______.A. comfort zone may lead to conflictsB. comfort zone is not necessarily positiveC. people tend to find fault with themselvesD. survival is hard in business circle20.By seeking a better comfort zone, people aim to ______.A. make greater achievingB. make more moneyC. be more influentialD. gain greater powerPassage TwoEntire cultures operate on elaborate systems of indirectness. For example, I discovered in a small research project that most Greeks assumed that a wife who asked , “Would you like to go to the party?” was hinting that she wanted to go. They felt that she wouldn’t bring it up if she didn’t want to go. Furthermore, they felt, she would not state her preference directly because that would sound like a demand. Indirectness was the appropriate means for communicating her preference.Japanese culture has developed indirectness to a fine art. For example, a Japanese professor, Harumi Befu, explains the delicate exchange of indirectness required by a simple invitation to lunch. When his friend extended the invitation, Befu first had to determine whether it was meant literally or just a r itual, much as an American might say, “We’ll have to have you over for dinner some time” but would not expect you to turn up at the door. Having decided the invitation was meant literally and having accepted, Befu was then asked what she would like to eat. Following custom, he said anything would do, but his friend, also following custom, pressed him to specify. Host and guest repeated this exchange an appropriate number of times, until Befu thought it polite to answer the question --- polite --- by saying that tea over rice would be fine. When he arrived for lunch, he was indeed served tea over rice --- as the last course of a luxurious meal. Befu was not surprised by the feast, because he knew that custom required it. Had he been given what he asked for, he would have been insulted. But custom also required that he make a great show of being surprised.21.According to Paragraph 1, Greeks believe that women ______.A. Would like to give demandsB. Use more questions than statementsC. Carefully weave their wishes into questionsD. Are afraid of expressing personal opinions22.On receiving a lunch invitation, Befu first has to ______.A. decide whether to accept it or notB. figure out what he would like to eatC. pretend to show great surpriseD. judge whether the invitation is serious23.Why would Befu ask for tea over rice?A. To be polite by making things easy.B. It is his favorite.C. To avoid being insulted.D. To end the conversation quickly.24.Which of the following statements is true?A. Befu was served exactly what he had asked for.B. It would be impolite to serve a simple lunch.C. Befu was surprised by the last course for lunch.D. Befu acted like he enjoyed his meal a lot.25.What is the main idea of the passage?A. Greeks and Japanese are well known for being indirect.B. Indirectness is evident in many cultures.C. Meals reveal a lot about a particular culture.D. People sometimes tell lies with good intention.Passage ThreeIn western cultu re, an engagement begins with “yes” to a simple question: “Will you marry me?” These heart-stopping words often come with a beautiful diamond ring. The man making the proposal may get down on one knee. In fact, men have relied on this simple, romantic method of proposing marriage for years.Today, this is no longer true for everyone. Consider how Justin Firestone proposed to Natalie Abreu.The couple took a helicopter tour over the black sands of Honomanu Bay, Hawaii. Suddenly Abreu saw "Will you marry me Natalie?" spelled out below with coconuts. Her answer was an astonished "Yes!"Firestone's proposal took weeks of planning and help from a professional.But for men like him, the effort put into the proposal was worth it. Many guys want to show how serious they are about marriage through an impressive proposal. Some even want to give their future brides something to brag about.Public proposals-- at sports games, concerts and other events --are common. But some men don't settle for their proposal scrolling（滚动）across a big screen before thousands. Millions saw Joe Uva's proposal on a reality TV show. His girlfriend, Laura O'Donnell, walked into an office and saw friends and family holding flowers. With the cameras rolling, Uva walked out from among them to propose. O'Donnell said yes, to the relief of Uva and his audience.Other men have chosen proposals that reflect the couple's unique relationship. Such proposals take place at a favorite restaurant or involve a shared hobby. Bernie Peng, for example, programs video games, and Tammy Li enjoys playing them. When Peng proposed to Li, he made a small change in her favorite game. When she played it, a ring and marriage proposal appeared. They recently got married!These men were confident they would get the answer they wanted. but that's not the point: Creative proposals leave memories to be cherished.26.What will men do in a traditional proposal?A. Use beautiful words.B. Buy diamonds in advance.C. Plan it for months.D. Save a lot of money.27.Which of the following statements is true?A. Firestone didn’t speak out the proposal.B. Firestone planned the proposal by himself.C. Natalie had expected the proposal on their trip.D. Firestone’s proposal was inexpensive.28.What does “to brag about” (Para.3) probably mean?A. To talk about with pride.B. To remember someone.C. To think about seriously.D. To look around carefully.29.Which of the proposals was witnessed by the largest number of people?A. Firestone’s.B. Abreu’s.C. Joe Uva’s.D. Peng’s.30.What is the author’s opinion towards creative proposals?A. They are likely to get positive answers.B. They reveal men’s confidence.C. They are beautiful memories in life.D. They take great courage and wisdom.Passage FourA British teenager has become a multi-millionair after selling an application software he created to web giant Yahoo. The deal is reported to be worth up to 30 million dollars and includes a position working on Yahoo’s future mobile projects. Nick D’Aloisio, 17, started his Summly app(应用软件) when he was just 15. He was studying for school exams and became frustrated at ploughing through lengthy online articles. He created the app to summarize long reports so that people could more easily understand the content. Yahoo’s boss of mobile content development Adam Cahan said: “It started with an insight that we live in a world of constant information and need new ways to simplify how we find the stories that are important to us, at a glance.”Nick taught himself to write software when he was 12 years old. He developed the bulk of his Summly app in his bedroom. He launched his app when he was 15 and it soon attracted over 1.5 million dollars of investment, including from Hollywood stars Kutcher and Stephen Fry.The purchase by Yahoo makes the British teen one of the world’s youngest self-made millionaires. He believes his connection with Yahoo is perfect, saying: “To me, Yahoo is the best company to be joining right now because it’s one of these classic Internet companies. With new leadership from Marissa Mayer, :Yahoo has a strong focus on mobile and product, and that’s the perfect match for Summly.”He says his parents will help him manage the financial windfall(飞来之财) but that he was not driven to the deal by dollar signs. “Technology has really been the driver behind this whole deal,” he said. “I can’t wait to see how it plays out at Yahoo.”31.The British teenager has ______.A. set up a software companyB. saved Yahoo from its declineC. become wealthy with his appD. develop a new model of mobiles32.

GoodbyePart II Reading Comprehension (40points) Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by 5 questions orunfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, Cand D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneThe comfort zone is our living, work, and social environments that we have grown accustomed to. It determines the type of friends we make or people we associate with. It determines a life style we accept or reject.Young people are very adaptable; they can adjust to changing comfort zones with ease. They can socialize with homeless people in the morning and be equally at ease at a formal banquet in the evening. As we age, the ability to adapt to wide-ranging comfort zones becomes more difficult. Social prejudice narrows the comfort zone range. The comfort zone can be a decision making tool.Comfort zones are directly related to our dreams or goals, which is associated withself-fulfilling prophecy(预言). In order to grow and change, we must first be discontent with our current comfort zone. We must realize that all meaningful and lasting changes occur first in daydreaming and then they work their way into reality.The more clearly and vividly we fantasize our dream, the stronger and more real the pictures on the subconscious level will become. Once our subconscious accepts this image and its expectation, it will go to work, searching for a way to bring it into reality. If we feel that these things are too good for us, we will find ways to fail. If, however, we intentionally imagine the change we want, build an expectation of the change mentally and emotionally, and we will find ways to acquire dream and, when mentally ready, it will arrive faster than we ever thought possible.For some people, problems, suffering, poverty, bad breaks are their comfort zone. They find comfort in finding fault and complaining about their misfortune. The same is true for businesses. Management and workers have grown used to seeing things go wrong and expect them too. Management finds comfort in finding fault with workers and workers and vice versa.Note: If the comfort zone we are seeking is beyond our current income, then, we need to develop a service that has greater value than our current one. Money, power and influence are not goals; they are rewards ONLY for personal achievement.16.As one grows older, ______.A. one’s comfort zone becomes narrowerB. one finds comfort zone more easilyC. one becomes more sympatheticD. one behaves better in social gathering17.What does “be discontent with our current comfort zone” (Para.3) mean?A. Be prepared to realize our dreams.B. Keep dreaming of unrealistic goals.C. Picture our dreams clearly and vividly.D. Be dissatisfied with our present life.18.According to the author, daydreaming ______.A. requires a clear goal in mindB. does little good to the pursuit of happinessC. prepares us for meaningful changes in lifeD. wastes our time and energy19.It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that ______.A. comfort zone may lead to conflictsB. comfort zone is not necessarily positiveC. people tend to find fault with themselvesD. survival is hard in business circle20.By seeking a better comfort zone, people aimto ______.A. make greater achievingB. make more moneyC. be more influentialD. gain greater powerPassage TwoEntire cultures operate on elaborate systems of indirectness. For example, I discovered in a small research project that most Greeks assumed that a wife who asked , “Would you like to go to the party?” was hinting that she wanted to go. They felt that she wou ldn’t bring it up if she didn’t want to go. Furthermore, they felt, she would not state her preference directly because that would sound like a demand. Indirectness was the appropriate means for communicating her preference.Japanese culture has developed indirectness to a fine art. For example, a Japanese professor, Harumi Befu, explains the delicate exchange of indirectness required by a simple invitation to lunch. When his friend extended the invitation, Befu first had to determine whether it was meant literally or just a ritual, much as an American might say, “We’ll have to have youover for dinner some time” but would not expect you to turn up at the door. Having decided the invitation was meant literally and having accepted, Befu was then asked what she would like to eat. Following custom, he said anything would do, but his friend, also following custom, pressed him to specify. Host and guest repeated this exchange an appropriate number of times, until Befu thought it polite to answer the question --- polite --- by saying that tea over rice would be fine. When he arrived for lunch, he was indeed served tea over rice --- as the last course of a luxurious meal. Befu was not surprised by the feast, because he knew that custom required it. Had he been given what he asked for, he would have been insulted. But custom also required that he make a great show of being surprised.21.According to Paragraph 1, Greeks believe that women ______.A. Would like to give demandsB. Use more questions than statementsC. Carefully weave their wishes into questionsD. Are afraid of expressing personal opinions22.On receiving a lunch invitation, Befu first has to ______.A. decide whether to accept it or notB. figure out what he would like to eatC. pretend to show great surpriseD. judge whether the invitation is serious23.Why would Befu ask for tea over rice?A. To be polite by making things easy.B. It is his favorite.C. To avoid being insulted.D. To end the conversation quickly.24.Which of the following statements is true?A. Befu was served exactly what he had asked for.B. It would be impolite to serve a simple lunch.C. Befu was surprised by the last course for lunch.D. Befu acted like he enjoyed his meal a lot.25.What is the main idea of the passage?A. Greeks and Japanese are well known for being indirect.B. Indirectness is evident in many cultures.C. Meals reveal a lot about a particular culture.D. People sometimes tell lies with goodintention.Passage ThreeIn western culture, an engagement begins with “yes” to a simple question: “Will you marry me?” These heart-stopping words often come with a beautiful diamond ring. The man making the proposal may get down on one knee. In fact, men have relied on this simple, romantic method of proposing marriage for years.Today, this is no longer true for everyone. Consider how Justin Firestone proposed to Natalie Abreu.The couple took a helicopter tour over the black sands of Honomanu Bay, Hawaii. Suddenly Abreu saw "Will you marry me Natalie?" spelled out below with coconuts. Her answer was an astonished "Yes!"Firestone's proposal took weeks of planning and help from a professional.But for men like him, the effort put into the proposal was worth it. Many guys want to show how serious they are about marriage through an impressive proposal.Some even want to give their future brides something to brag about.Public proposals-- at sports games, concerts and other events --are common. But some men don't settle for their proposal scrolling（滚动）across a big screen before thousands. Millions saw Joe Uva's proposal on a reality TV show. His girlfriend, Laura O'Donnell, walked into an office and saw friends and family holding flowers. With the cameras rolling, Uva walked out from among them to propose. O'Donnell said yes, to the relief of Uva and his audience.Other men have chosen proposals that reflect the couple's unique relationship. Such proposals take place at a favorite restaurant or involve a shared hobby. Bernie Peng, for example, programs video games, and Tammy Li enjoys playing them. When Peng proposed to Li, he made a small change in her favorite game. When she played it, a ring and marriage proposal appeared. They recently got married!These men were confident they would get the answer they wanted. but that's not the point: Creative proposals leave memories to be cherished.26.What will men do in a traditional proposal?A. Use beautiful words.B. Buy diamonds in advance.C. Plan it for months.D. Save a lot of money.27.Which of the following statements is true?A. Firestone didn’t speak out the proposal.B. Firestone planned the proposal by himself.C. Natalie had expected the proposal on their trip.D. Firestone’s proposal was inexpensive.28.What does “to brag about” (Para.3) probably mean?A. To talk about with pride.B. To remember someone.C. To think about seriously.D. To look around carefully.29.Which of the proposals was witnessed by the largest number of people?A. Firestone’s.B. Abreu’s.C. Joe Uva’s.D. Peng’s.30.What is the author’s opinion towards creative proposals?A. They are likely to get positive answers.B. They reveal men’s confidence.C. They are beautiful memories in life.D. They take great courage and wisdom.Passage FourA British teenager has become amulti-millionair after selling an application software he created to web giant Yahoo. The deal is reported to be worth up to 30 million dollars and includes a position working on Yahoo’s future mobile projects. Nick D’Aloisio, 17, started his Summly app(应用软件) when he was just 15. He was studying for school exams and became frustrated at ploughing through lengthy online articles. He created the app to summarize long reports so that people could more easily understand the content. Yahoo’s boss of mobile content development Adam Cahan said: “It started with an insight that we live in a world of constant information and need new ways to simplify how we find the stories that are important to us, at a glance.”Nick taught himself to write software when he was 12 years old. He developed the bulk ofhis Summly app in his bedroom. He launched his app when he was 15 and it soon attracted over 1.5 million dollars of investment, including from Hollywood stars Kutcher and Stephen Fry.The purchase by Yahoo makes the British teen one of the world’s youngest self-made millionaires. He believes his connection with Yahoo is perfect, saying: “To me, Yahoo is the best company to be joining right now because it’s one of these classic Internet companies. With new leadership from Marissa Mayer, :Yahoo has a strong focus on mobile and product, and that’s the perfect match for Summly.”He says his parents will help him manage the financial windfall(飞来之财) but that he was not driven to the deal by dollar signs. “Technology has really been the driver behind this whole deal,” he said. “I can’t wait to see how it plays out at Yahoo.”31.The British teenager has ______.A. set up a software companyB. saved Yahoo from its declineC. become wealthy with his appD. develop a new model of mobiles32.
