When my friendMaxie says “Have a nice day” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.“Have a nice day. Next!” This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words come out in the same tone (腔调) with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else’s is the management’s attempt to increase business.The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we don’t know what to say “oh, you may have a tooth out? I’m terribly sorry, but have a nice day.”The expression can be pleasant. If a stra nger says “Have a nice day” to you, you may find it heart-warming because someone you don’t know has tried to be nice to you.Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, it’s nice to know they care enough to pret end they care when they really don’t care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.41. How does the author understand Maxie’s words?A. Maxie shows her anxiety to the author.B. Maxie really wishes the author a good day.C. Maxie encourages the author to stay happy.D. Maxie really worries about the author’s security.42. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A. The salesgirl is rude.B. The salesgirl is bored.C. The salesgirl cares about me.D. The salesgirl says the words as a routine.43. By saying“Have a nice day,”a stranger may _____.A. try to be polite to youB. express respect to youC. give his blessing to youD. share his pleasure with you44. According to the last paragraph, people say“Have a nice day”_______.A. sincerelyB. as thanksC. as a habitD. encouragingly45. What is the best title of the passage?A. Have a Nice Day—a Social CustomB. Have a Nice Day—a Pleasant GestureC. Have a Nice Day—a Heart-warming GreetingD. Have a Nice Day—a Polite Ending of a ConversationBThe famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset over the ocean, so that the audiences could see his hero and heroine in front of it at the end of the film as they said goodbye to each other for ever. He sent his camera crew（摄制组）out one evening to film the sunset for him.The next morning he said to the man，“Have you provided me with that sunse t?”“No，sir.” the man answered.The director was angry. “Why not?” he asked.“Well，sir，”one of the men answered，“we’re on the east coast here，and the sun sets in the west. We can get you a sunrise over the sea，if necessary，but not a sunset.”“But I want a sunset!” the director shouted. “Go to the airport，take the next flight to the west coast，and get one.”But then a young secretary had an idea. “Why don’t you photograph a sunrise，”she suggested，“and then play it backwards? Then it’ll look like a sunset.”“That’s a very good idea!” the director said. Then he turned to the camera crew and said. “Tomorrow morning I want you to get me a beautiful sunrise over the sea.”The camera crew went out early the next morning and filmed a bright sunrise over the beach in the middle of a beautiful bay（海湾）.Then at nine o’clock they took it to the director. “Here it is，sir.” they said，and gave it to him. He was very pleased.They all went into the studio（摄影棚）.“All right.” the director explained，“now our hero and heroine are going to say good-bye. Run the film backwards so that we can see the ‘sunset’ behind them.”The “sunset” began，but after a quarter of a minute，the director suddenly puthis face in his hands and shouted to the camera crew to stop.The birds in the film were flying backwards，and the waves on the sea were going away from the beach.46.One evening，the director sent his camera crew out ____ .A. to watch a beautiful sunsetB. to find an actor and an actressC. to film a scene on the seaD. to meet the audience47.Why did the director want to send his crew to the west coast?A. Because he changed his mind about getting a sunset.B. Because he was angry with his crew.C. Because it was his secre tary’s suggestion.D. Because he wanted to get a scene of sunset.48.Which of the following is NOT true?A. The crew had to follow the secretary’s advice.B. If you want to see a sunrise，the east coast is the place to go to.C. The camera crew wasn’t able to film the scene the first day.D. The director ordered his crew to stop filming the “sunset”.49.The director wanted to film a sunset over the ocean because ______.A. it went well with the separation of the hero and the heroineB. when they arrived at the beach it was already in the eveningC. it was more moving than a sunriseD. the ocean looked more beautiful at sunset50.After the “sunset” began，the director suddenly put his face in his hands ______ .A. because he was moved to tearsB. as he saw everything in the film moving backwardsC. as the sunrise did not look as beautiful as he had imaginedD. because he was disappointed with the performance of the hero and heroineCFive years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict,” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled.” Today David wears casual clothes---khaki pants and sports shirt---to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I’m working hard er than ever,” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.”More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work in the United States. The change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday(but only on Friday). This became known as “dress-down Friday” of “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing.” said business consultant Maisly Jones.Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code. “A lot of young people don’t want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. Ina study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative impact on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”51. David Smith refers to himself as having been “a clothes addict,” because _______.A. he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirtB. he couldn’t stand a clean appearanceC. he wanted his clothes to look neat all the timeD. he didn’t want to spend much money on clothes52. David Smith wears casual clothes now, because _______.A. they make him feel at ease when workingB. he cannot afford to buy expensive clothesC. he looks handsome in casual clothesD. he no longer works for any company53. According to this passage, which of the following statements is FALSE?A. Many employees don’t like a conservative dress code.B. Comfortable clothes make employees more productive.C. A casual clothes code is welcomed by young employees.D. All the employers in the U. S. are for casual office wear.54. According to this passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. Company workers started to dress down about twenty years ago.B. Dress-down has become an everyday phenomenon since the early 1990s.C. “Dress-down Friday” w as first given as a favor from employers.D. Many workers want to wear casual clothes to impress people.55. In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentionedin the passage EXCEPT _______.A. saving employees’ moneyB. making employees more attractiveC. improving employees’ motivationD. making employees happier第二节：信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）（注意：选E同时填涂AB;选F 则同时填涂CD）首先阅读下列某实习编辑从一组读者来信中整理出来的关键备忘信息：以下信函为上面关键备忘信息的来源。

The more he talked about the opportunity, the more interested I became. I left class thinking I might actually do it.My immediate excitement gave in to excuses as the weeks passed. The trip would be expensive, I would have less time to spend with my family over winter break, and I hadn’t really traveled before. Most of all, I was terrified of taking the risk.On the day I made my decision, I suddenly felt as if I had finally opened my eyes and seen myself clearly. Why was I so scared to take this chance? I had moved away from home,almost graduated college and overe plenty of small-scale fears. How could I let fear get in the way of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? Besides, I had always dreamed of traveling the world and studying abroad was a major point on my bucket list(人生目标清单).So I took the challenge. I was scared yet excited on the plane, but my fears faded as soon as the wheels touched the runway. I soon found myself immersed(沉浸) in ancient, ornate(华丽的) mountain-top temples. I spent my days teaching poor orphans simple English, learned a little Khmer myself and became an expert at avoiding terrible traffic and bargaining with Cambodian store owners. By the end of my stay, I had fallen in love with travel, exploration and a life of daily wonders.My experience in Cambodia was incredible and life-changing. I came back a different person, but a better one: a better friend, sister, daughter, girlfriend and student. I came back a grown woman instead of a young girl.After Cambodia, my life clicked into place(步入正轨). Before the trip, I hadn’t known what I wanted to do after graduation. Now I am planning on teaching English abroad as a volunteer. I am still amazed by my experience and thankful for everything it taught me.I now have a passion for conquering(征服) fears, big or small, and have a renewed faith in myself.4.The author’s excitement to go to Cambodia faded(消退) mainly because _________.A. she could not afford the expensive tripB. she had no experience of traveling abroadC. she was scared of the risk she would be takingD. she preferred spending time with her family to traveling5.How did the author decide to go to Cambodia in the end?A. She had a heart-to-heart talk with her familyB. She thought about what might have made her scaredC. She went through every item she had put on her bucket listD. She realized the challenges and fears she had overe before6.What did the author do in Cambodia?A. She taught KhmerB. She studied EnglishC. She helped local children with EnglishD. She studied traffic problems7.What did the author think of her stay in Cambodia?A. It was relaxing and refreshingB. It gave her a better idea of herselfC. It improved her munication skillsD. It led her to offer her help to volunteer servicesCLondon—A morning's train ride away, across the Channel(英吉利海峡), English kids talk about Liverpool's soccer team in a Paris pub. Some Parisians have even started to go to work in London. In the 19th century, Charles Dickens pared the two great rival (竞争) cities, London and Paris, in " A Tale of Two Cities". These days, it might be A Tale of One City.Parisians are these days likely to smile in sympathy at a visitor's broken French and respond in polite English. As jobs grew lack at home over recent years, perhaps 250,000 Frenchmen moved across the Channel. With an undersea tunnel, they could travel between cities in three hours. The European Union freed them from immigration and customs.Paris, rich in beauty, is more attractive. But London feels more full of life, and more fun until the pubs shut down."For me, the difference is that London is real, alive," said Trevor Wheeler, a banker.Chantal Jaouen, a professional designer, agrees. "I am French, but I'll stay in London," she said.There is, of course, the other view. Julie Lenoux is a student who moved to London two years ago. "I think people laugh more in Paris," she said.In fact, London and Paris, with their obvious new similarities, are beyond the old descriptions. As the European Union gradually loosened controls, Londoners flocked intoParis to shop, eat and buy property (地产)."Both cities have changed beyond recognition." Said Larry Collins, a writer and sometimes a Londoner. Like most people who know both well, he finds the two now fit together fortably."I first fell in love with Paris in the 1950s and it is still a wonderful place," Collins said. "But if I had to choose, it would be London. Things are so much more ordered, and life is better."But certainly not cheaper. In fancy parts of London, rents can be twice those on Avenue Foch in Paris. Deciding between London and Paris requires a lifestyle choice.Like Daphne Benoit, a French journalism student with perfect English, many young people are happy to be close enough so they don't have to choose."I love Paris, my little neighborhood, the way I can walk around a centre, but life is so structured," she said. "In London, you can be who you want. No one cares."8.The best title for this message is ____________________.A. Londoner andParisians B.A Modern Tale of Two CitiesC. The Similarity of TwoCities D. Fancy London and Fashionable Paris9. We can infer from the passage that ______________.A. Paris and London has bee perfect partnersB. London feels more full of lifeC. Life in Paris is structuredD. Paris and London have bee fierce petitors10. The underlined word "flocked " probably means __________________.A. came in largenumbers B.flew a long wayC. rushedhurriedlyD. drove long distances11. Living in Paris, you may find ________.A. life is betterB. things are cheaperC. more attractive peopleD. a job easilyDWrist(手腕) watches are regarded as a tool to tell the time. At first, watches were created as women's decorative bracelets (手镯). At the same time, men used pocket watches. The first men's wrist watch was available in 1904. A pilot called Alberto Santos-Dumont personally asked a watchmaker to create a wrist watch to use on flights. Soon after that, men's wrist watches were available on the market. Since then, watches have been considered fashionable accessories(配饰) for men, and watchmakers have started to make men's fashion watches.At present, watches are not indispensable to tell the time for most people have cell phones which have watch functions. But a new market has been created for wrist watches, which are not only used to tell the time, but also as important fashion statement pieces.Generally speaking, watches for formal occasions are beautifully made and more like pieces of jewelry than watches. Men's watches for informal and semi-formal events include simple, slim designs and large-and-thick-sized styles. Nowadays, men usually don't follow any specific style of dress for watches, and the luxury brands of the expensive and strongly made sports watches have made them believe that they look more stylish because of their high prices. Some of the fashion watches have a diamond and some others are pletely decorated with precious stones such as diamonds.Men's watches also have many advanced functions. For example, the dual-time watches for travelers make them know the time in most other countries as well as the time in theirhome if they are abroad.In a word, a men's watch is one of the few accessories for men's cupboard. Men can choose their most suitable watches to go with their personal taste.12.According to the first paragraph, the first men's wrist watch _________.A. was used by a pilot onflights B. was not only a tool to tell the timeC. was viewed as a symbol of fashionD. wascreated as a decorative bracelet13. What does the underlined word "indispensable" in Paragraph 2 probably mean?A. necessaryB. usefulC. dependableD. popular14. What can we learn from the passage?A. Men's pocket watches came after men's wrist watches.B. Those touring abroad will find a dual-time watch useful.C. Watches with advanced functions are always expensive.D. Men's watches for informal occasions appear like jewels.15.Which of the following can serve as the best title for the passage?A. The Brief History of Men's WatchesB.

an “aha！”moment regarding handwriting.I had in my hand a sheet of paper with handwritten instructions on it for some sort of editorial task.It occurred at first that I did not recognize the handwriting，and then I realized whose it must be.I finally became aware of the fact that I had been working with this colleague for at least a year，maybe two，and yet I did not recognize her handwriting at that point.It was a very important event in the puterization of life—a sign that the informal，friendly munication of people working together in an office had changed from notes in pen to instant messages and emails.There was a time when our workdays were filled with little letters，and we recognized one another’s handwriting the way we knew voices or faces.As a child visiting my father’s office，I was pleased to recognize，in little notes on the desks of his staff，the same handwriting I would see at home in the notes he would leave on the fridge—except that those notes were signed “dad” insteadof “RFW”．All this has been on my mind because of the talk about The Rise and Fall of Hand w riting，a book by Florey.She shows in her book a deep concern about the fall of handwriting and the failure of schools to teach children to write well，but many others argue that people in a digital age can’t be expected to learn to hold a pen.I don’t buy it.I don’t want to see anyone cut off from the expressive，personal associations that a pen still promotes better than a digital keyboard does.For many a biographer，part of really getting to know their subjects is learning to read their handwriting.What some people advocate is teaching one of the many attractive handwritings based on the handwriting of 16thcentury Italy.That may sound impossibly grand—as if they want kids to learn to draw by copying classical paintings.However，they have worked in many school systems.1．Why was the author surprised at not recognizing his colleague’s handwriting?A．He had worked with his colleague long enough.B．His collea gue’s handwriting was so beautiful.C．His colleague’s handwriting was so terrible.D．He still had a lot of work to do.2．People working together in an office used to ________.A．talk more about handwriting B．take more notes on workdaysC．know better one an other’s handwriting D．municate better with one another 3．The author’s father wrote notes in pen ________.A．to both his family and his staff B．to his family in small lettersC．to his family on the fridge D．to his staff on the desk4．According to the author，handwritten notes ________.A．are harder to teach in schools B．attract more attention C．are used only between friends D．carry more message Ⅳ.阅读填空The traditional American school year begins in late August or early September.It ends in May or June，followed by summer vacation.__1__Because long ago，young people had to help their families harvest the summer crops.At least this is what people today may think._2__A recent report from aneducation policy center at Indiana University explored the historical roots of the traditional school calendar.In the early days of the United States，children were not required to attend school.School calendars depended on local needs.__3__They worked on family farms during the other months.City schools were often open much longer，some for eleven months of the year.After the Civil War，more and more people saw the need for a system of required education._4__Many city schools wanted a shorter year and a longer summer break.The schools were often crowded.There was no modern air conditioning.Hot days would make it difficult to learn.Many rural educators，however，pushed for a longer school year.They thought it would keep children safe from industrial dangers when there were few childlabor laws.So the traditional school calendar was a promise(折中)．The average school year used to be one hundred and seventy days.Times have not changed much.__5__But some experts thinkthe traditional school calendar needs to change because the needs of the nation have changed.This thinking has led some schools to keep students in class longer.A．Why such a long break?B．Today the mon average is one hundred and eighty days.C．Americans think highly of their traditional school calendar.D．Most schools had similar school calendars.E．But the reason has more to it.F．Students in rural areas went to school for no more than six months of the year.G．But they had different ideas for the calendar.答案：Ⅰ.语境填词1．accent.2．subway3．queued4．confused5．remarks6．steadily7．omit8．structureⅡ.选词填空1．pared_to/with2．is_different_from/differs_from

It is also made out of software.If you e to visit, you’ll probably be surprised when you e in. Someone will give you an electronic PIN(个人身份号码) to wear. This PIN tells the house who and where you are. The house uses this information to give you what you need. When it’s dark outsi de,the PIN turns on the lights nearest to you, and then turns them off as you walk away from them. Music moves with you too. If the house knows your favorite music, it plays it. The music seems to be everywhere, but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music. If you get a telephone call, only the nearest telephone rings.Of course, you are also able to tell the house if you want something. There is a home control console(控制台), a small machine that turns things on and off around you.The PIN and the console are new ideas, but they are in fact like many things we have today. If you want to go to a movie, you need a ticket. If I give you my car keys, you can use my car. The car works for you because you have the keys. My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the console.I believe that ten years from now, most new homes will have the systems that I’ve put in my house. The systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones I’ve put in today.I like to try new ideas. I know that some of my ideas will work better than others. But I hope that one day I will stop thinking of these systems as new, and ask myself instead, “How will I live without them?”36.What does the passage mainly discuss?A.How to develop a new system.B. The function of the PINC. A home for the futureD. Easy life in the future37.This PIN tells the house _____.A.What you needB. Who and where you areC. Where the lights nearest you areD. How you wear clothes38.What’s the purpose when the writer wrote the fourth paragraph?A.To let readers know why his ideas are new.B.To let readers know how special his house is.C.To explain the importance of the PIN and the console.D.To explain more easily what the functions of the Pin and the console are.39.The writer’s new house is different from ordinary ones mainly because ______.A.It has been controlled by putersB.You can make a telephone call anywhereC.It has your favorite music following youD.The writer is able to change his new idea into practice40.What is the writer most likely to be according to the passage?A.An IT expertB. A famous doctorC. An idealistD. An experienced teacherBDoes stress cause gray hair? Many people believe that tension and stress can cause your hair to lose its color. In fact, it is an old wives’ tale that being upset all the time can result in premature graying. Here is a closer look at this situation and why some believe that this old wives’ tale could be true.As one ages, the hairs on the head also age. In fact, just about everything on the human body begins to show signs of wear and tear after a while. The joints wear andbee stiff and skin wears and bees wrinkled. Hairs on the head grow and eventually die. They are replaced, but in the process something else happens.When new hairs are replaced, the color or pigment(色素) is also added to them. However, as one ages, this pigment bees less and less available. At first, hairs will have a limited amount of pigment and they will appear to be grayish in color. In time, they will lose all of their pigment and will be white. Many things are known to cause graying, and genetics is a very powerful factor. If one of your parents turns gray at an early age, there is a good chance that you will too. Some people begin the graying process in high school, while others may be over the age of forty.Constant worry and tension can have many harmful effects on the human body. It is a known fact that stressful times can cause one to suffer hair loss. It would make sense that if it can cause these problems, perhaps it also may contribute to graying. However, there is no sound evidence to support this.On the other hand, many medical professionals believe that there may be a link between graying and a constant state of anxiety or tension. Does stress cause gray hair? There is no scientific evidence to support the theory, but it is best to avoid stressful situations.41.The underlined phrase in the first paragraph most probably means “____”.A.Clever remarksB. Silly remarksC. Exciting remarksD. Disappointed remarks42.The second paragraph mainly tells us _____.A.Every part of body is replaced with ageB.Hairs will grow weak but not dieC.Skin bees wrinkled with ageD.Every part of body ages with age43.What might play an important role in the graying process?A.Genetics and the amount of sleeping time.B.The amount of food people eat and living environment.C.The amount of pigment and genetics.D.Genetics and the amount of water people drink.44.According to the passage, continuous pressure may result in _____.A.A person’s fatnessB. A person’s fitnessC. A person’s weight lossD. A person’s hair loss45.From the passage we can infer that ______.A.Stress causing gray hair is still in questionB.Gray hair has nothing to do with tensionC.Stressful situations can be of benefitD.Sound evidence has been foundCDear Reader,Today I am going to ask you to support Wikipedia with a donation.Wikipedia is built differently from almost every other top 50 websites. We have a small number of paid staff, just twenty-three. Wikipedia content is free to use by anyone for any purpose. Our annual expenses are less than six million dollars.Wikipedia is run by the non-profit Wikipedia Foundation, which I founded in xx.Wikipedia is driven by a global munity of more than 150,000 volunteers—all devoted to sharing knowledge freely. Over almost eight years, these volunteers have contributed more than 11 million articles in 265 languages. More than 275 million people e to our website every month to access information, free of charge and free of advertising.But Wikipedia is more than a website. We share a mon cause: Imagine a world in which every single person on the planet is given free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That’s our mitment.Your donation helps us in several ways. Most importantly, you will help us cover the increasing cost of managing global traffic to one of the most popular websites on the Internet. Funds also help us improve the software that runs Wikipedia—making it easier to search, easier to read, and easier to write for. We are mitted to increasing the free knowledge movement worldwide, by taking on new volunteers, and building strategic partnerships with institutions of culture and learning.Wikipedia is different. It’s the largest encyclopedia(百科全书) in history, written by volunteers. Like a national park or a school, we don’t believe advertising should have a place in Wikipedia. We want to keep it free and strong, but we need the support of thousands of people like you.Thank you,Jimmy Wales46.What do the second and third paragraphs mainly talk about?A.Why you should donate to Wikipedia.B.How much the workers are paid.C.How Wikipedia is run.D.How many people contribute to Wikipedia.47.All the following are the reasons for the need of your donation Except ____.A.To keep Wikipedia free for people all over the worldB.To update the software that runs WikipediaC.To raise the salaries of the staffD.To pay the cost of running the website48.What does the underlin ed word “That” in paragraph 4 refer to?A.Free access to all human knowledge.B.Human knowledge.C.Every single person.D.A mon cause.49.Which of the following is True about Wikipedia?A.It only has 23 workers at present.B.It will run a national park or a school.C.It has got much help from other people.D.It may put some advertisements to earn money.50.What’s the author’s purpose of writing this text?A.To introduce the differences between Wikipedia and other websites.B.To improve the software that runs Wikipedia.C.To make Wikipedia more popular.D.To call on people to donate to Wikipedia.DThe best way to e first is to go last. An analysis of almost 50 years of petitions—including Eurovision Song Contests and world skating championships – has found that contestants are more likely to win if they are among the last to appear before the judges.The study by an American university appears to provide scientific proof that the best man, or woman, does not always win.It found that on average, the last petitor to appear in the Eurovision Song Contest was more than twice as likely to win as the one who went on first.The first rounds of figure skating championships, for which the running order is selected at random(随机), showed more dramatic results. The final skater had a 14 percent chance of victory, making him or her more than four times as likely to win as the first skater.The study showed a gradual worsening of chances for petitors who appeared earlier in the running order. A contestant who appears first in a contest is two percent less likely to win than one who appears second. A contestant who appears second is two percent less likely to win than one who appears third, and so on.The findings are published in the March issue of Acta Psychologica, a scientific journal.Robert Hardman, a senior lecturer in psychology at London Metropolitan University who specializes in the science of decision-making, said that the results were interesting. He suggested that the effect was caused by the limitations of the human memory.“When people make parisons; they aren’t really able to make a lot of fine-grade discrimination. When contestants appear at the beginning of a contest, judges have little to pare them to and are perhaps wary(谨慎的) of the scores they give,” he s aid.“Later on, when judges are able to pare the contestants to those that have gone before, they might give more extreme marks because they feel more confident about their judgments.”51.The first skater in the first round of figure skating championships had a _____percent chance of winning.A.TwoB. ThreeC. FourD. Six52.According to the study, the best petitor does not always win possibly because he/she_____.A.Fails to show his/her very bestB.Is mistakenly put in the running orderC.Meets with unfair judgesD.Appears too early before the judges53.Judging from the context, the underlined word “worsening” in the 5th paragraphshould mean “______”.A.Decrease in numberB. Increase in degreeC. Reduction in possibilityD. Rising in quantity54.What may be a problem with the judges according to the article?A.They can’t remember things well enoughB.They believe the first is seldom the bestC.They don’t really know what is goodD.They show favour towards the contestants they like55.Robert Hardman’s words mainly tell about his _____.A.Own achievement in the researchB.Explanation for the findingsC.Suggestion to solve the problemD.ments on the findings听力部分（共两节，满分15分）（注意：答题卡上听力答案的填涂序号以该题前面括号内的序号为准）第一节（共5小题；每题1分，满分5分）听下面五段对话。
