One winter Mr and Mrs Robinson went England, and they took John there. John was seven years old then.One day it snowed. The boy went into the garden, and he played in the snow. He said, “Snow is very beautiful, but it is very cold.”Then he said, “What is this?” It is a big, round piece of glass. It is beautiful, but it is very cold, too.”But it was not glass. It was ice. It was on a bucket(桶) of water. John said, “Who put this glass here? I’m going to take it into the house.” He took the ice to his father and said, “This is a beautiful piece of glass, but it is very cold and wet. It was on a bucket of w ater in the garden.” Mr Robinson smiled and said, “Take it to the kitchen, put it in front of the stove （炉子） there, and dry it.”The boy took the ice to the kitchen and put it in front of the stove. He dried his hands, because they were very cold and wet, and then he went to the ice again. He looked at it, and then he took it to his father again. He said, “I put this glass in front of the stove, but it does got drier. It becomes wetter and smaller.”21.

After John put the ice in front of the stove, he found that it became ______.A dry B. wetter C. bigger D. colderPassage TwoDuring the day we work and play. At night we sleep. Our bodies rest while we sleep. In the morning we are ready to work and play again. Our bodies grow most while we are asleep. Children usually need more sleep. They can learn their lessons better after they have had plenty of rest. Boys and girls who are eight or nine years old need ten hours of sleep every night. Our bodies need plenty of air when we sleep. If we don’t get enough fresh air, we’ll feel tired when we wake up. While in bed we must not cover our heads. Our lungs need enough fresh air. If we open our windows at night we can have plenty of fresh air. Cool air is better than warm air. Boys and girls who want to be strong must get plenty of sleep.26. Our bodies grow most while we are______.A. eatingB. playingC. sleepingD. exercising27. Our bodies need ______ when we sleep.A.plenty of airB. foodC. waterD. drink28.

Warm airD. Sleeping30. In order to get enough air at night, you should ________________A.not cover your headB.close windowsC.sleepD.sleep ten hoursPassage ThreeWe know that we have to pay for what we get. If we buy food, we have to pay for it. If a doctor treats us, we know there will be a bill to pay. These are private bills. But there are also public bills that must be paid. Public bills are paid for by the government. In return we get needed services. We all use these services without thinking how we get them. But such services cost money. We pay for these services through taxes.What would happen if everyone in a city stopped paying taxes? The water supply would stop. Water might even become unclean and impure. The streets might not be cleaned. There would be no police force to protect people and property. Schools would be closed. People would become sick and disease might spread. We would not want to live in such a city. We all want pure water and food, clean streets, and good schools. We want police to protect us from crime.These services are expensive. The bills get larger each year. We spend public money today for services that we did not have fifty years ago. For instance, we now use public money to help stop accidents in mines and shops and to help farmers.The chief duty of every government is to protect persons and property. Billions of dollars each year are spent on schools and libraries. Public money is used to pay the teachers and other public officials. Also, a large amount of public fund is spent on roads.The greatest part of the needed funds is raised by taxes. A tax is the money that we all must pay to support the government. The law orders us to pay taxes. We have no choice in the matter. Almost everyone pays some tax in one form or another.Years ago, the government made money from the sale of public lands. But most of the best public lands have now been sold. The money raised was used to help to pay the costs of the government. There are still some public lands that contain oil, coal, gas, and other natural products. They could be sold. But we want to save them for future years. So, we all must pay our share for the services that make our lives comfortable.31. Who should pay for the public bills?A. The publicB. The societyC. The governmentD. Both A and C32. Why should everyone pay taxes?A.Because water might even become unclear and impure.B.Because streets might not be cleaned and schools would be closed.C.Because people would become sick and disease might spread.D.Because the government would have funds to work for the welfare of people.33. The largest amount of public money is used to _________________A.protect persons and propertyB.stop accidents in minesC.pay the teachersD.build roads34. Which of the following about taxes is not true?A.It’s lawful that everyone pays taxes.B.The taxes raised are used for supporting the governmentC.Everyone has his right to make a decision in the matter.D.The government spent a large amount of money on road building.35. Why did the government sell public lands years ago?A.Because those public lands were not rich in natural resources.B.Because the government wanted to benefit from the sale of lands.C.Because the government had to pay all kinds of costs.D.Because people needed lands to build their houses.Passage fourEveryone knows that the favorite food in the United States is the hamburger. It seems impossible, but people eat 34 billion hamburgers a year. This is enough to make a line of hamburgers around the world four times.The favorite place to buy a hamburger is a fast-food restaurant. In these restaurants, people order their food, wait just a few minutes, and carry it to their tables themselves. They can eat it in the restaurant or take the food out and eat it at home, at work, or in a park. At some restaurants people can drive up beside a window. They order the food, and a worker hands it through the window. They eat it in their cars. Hamburgers are not the only kind of food that fast-food restaurants serve. Some serve fish, chicken, beef sandwiches, or Mexican food. They also serve fries (French fried potatoes) , shakes ( a drink made from milk and ice cream), soft drink and coffee.Fast-food restaurants are very popular because the service is fast and the food is inexpensive. For many people, this is more important than quality of the food. These restaurants are also popular because the food is always the same. People know that if they eat at a com pany’s restaurant in the north or south of the city, the food will be the same. If they eat in New York or San Francisco, it will still be the same.Fast service and low cost are important in the United States. One reason is that about 50 percent of all married women with children work outside the home. They are too busy and too tired to cook dinner every night.Is the food at fast-food restaurants good for you? In general, it is all right, except that it has too much fat and salt.One thing is sure. People will continue to eat fast foods. In fact, now there are fast-food restaurants in countries all over the world.36. In a fast-food restaurant, people ___________.A. stand up to eatB. are served at tableC. eat in a hurryD. serve themselves37. Usually fast food is rich in _______________.A. sugar and milkB. salt and fatC. meat and saltD. beef and fish38. Fast-food restaurant is popular because ____________.A. people are free to order their foodB. the quality of the food is goodC. it is cheaper and faster to have meals thereD. people can find fast food restaurants everywhere.39. Which of the following sentences is not correct?A. The service is fast and the food is cheaper in fast-food restaurants.B. More people like eating fast food.C. People can find the same food in all the restaurants.D. People can take fast food.40. What’s the main idea of the passage?A . Americans eat enough hamburgers to make a line around the world four times.B. Fast-food restaurants are popular in the United States.C Some people can eat fast food in parks.D.- Mothers who work outside home often have meals in fast-foodrestaurants.Par tⅣTranslation (3’, 3’*5, 15% )Directions: Translate following sentences from Chinese into English.1. 暴雨通常出现在夏季是不足为奇的。

choosing A, B,C or D.Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET1.(40points)Text1In an essay entitled“Making It in America”,the author Adam Davidson relates a joke from cotton about just how much a modern textile mill has been automated:The average mill only two employees today,”a man and a dog.The man is there to feed the dog is there to keep the man away from the machines.”Davidson’s article is one of a number of pieces that have recently appeared making the point that the reason we have such stubbornly high unemployment and declining middle-class incomes today is also because of the advances in both globalization and the information technology revolution,which are more rapidly than ever replacing labor with machines or foreign worker.In the past,workers with average skills,doing an average job，could earn an average lifestyle,But,today,average is officially over.Being average just won’t earn you what it used to.It can’t when so many more employers have so much more access to so much more above average cheap foreign labor,cheap robotics, cheap software,cheap automation and cheap genius.Therefore,everyone needs to find their extra-their unique value contribution that makes them stand out in whatever is their field of employment.Yes,new technology has been eating jobs forever,and always will.But there’s been an acceleration.As Davidson notes,”In the10years ending in2009,[U.S.] factories shed workers so fast that they erased almost all the gains of the previous 70years;roughly one out of every three manufacturing jobs-about6million in total -disappeared.There will always be changed-new jobs,new products,new services.But the one thing we know for sure is that with each advance in globalization and the I.T. revolution,the best jobs will require workers to have more and better education to make themselves above average.In a world where average is officially over,there are many things we need to do to support employment,but nothing would be more important than passing some kind of G.I.Bill for the21st century that ensures that every American has access to poet-high school education.21.The joke in Paragraph1is used to illustrate_______.[A]the impact of technological advances[B]the alleviation of job pressure[C]the shrinkage of textile mills[D]the decline of middle-class incomes22.According to Paragraph3,to be a successful employee,one has to______[A]work on cheap software[B]ask for a moderate salary[C]adopt an average lifestyle[D]contribute something unique23.The quotation in Paragraph4explains that______[A]gains of technology have been erased[B]job opportunities are disappearing at a high speed[C]factories are making much less money than before[D]new jobs and services have been offered24.According to the author,to reduce unemployment,the most important is_____[A]to accelerate the I.T.revolution[B]to ensure more education for people[C]to advance economic globalization[D]to pass more bills in the21st century25.Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the text?[A]New Law Takes Effect[B]Technology Goes Cheap[C]Average Is Over[D]Recession Is BadText2A century ago,the immigrants from across the Atlantic included settlers and sojourners.Along with the many folks looking to make a permanent home in the United States came those who had no intention to stay,and7millin people arrived while about2million departed.About a quarter of all Italian immigrants,for example,eventually returned to Italy for good.They even had an affectionate nickname,“uccelli di passaggio,”birds of passage.Today,we are much more rigid about immigrants.We divide newcomers into two categories:legal or illegal,good or bad.We hail them as Americans in the making,or our broken immigration system and the long political paralysis over how to fix it.We don’t need more categories,but we need to change the way we think about categories.We need to look beyond strict definitions of legal and illegal.To start,we can recognize the new birds of passage,those living and thriving in the gray areas.We might then begin to solve our immigration challenges.Crop pickers,violinists,construction workers,entrepreneurs,engineers,home health-care aides and physicists are among today’s birds of passage.They are energetic participants in a global economy driven by the flow of work,money andideas.They prefer to come and go as opportunity calls them,They can manage to have a job in one place and a family in another.With or without permission,they straddle laws,jurisdictions and identities with ease.We need them to imagine the United States as a place where they can be productive for a while without committing themselves to staying forever.We need them to feel that home can be both here and there and that they can belong to two nations honorably.Accommodating this new world of people in motion will require new attitudes on both sides of the immigration battle.Looking beyond the culture war logic of right or wrong means opening up the middle ground and understanding that managing immigration today requires multiple paths and multiple outcomes. Including some that are not easy to accomplish legally in the existing system.26“Birds of passage”refers to those who____.[A]immigrate across the Atlantic[B]leave their home countries for good[C]stay in a foreign temporarily[D]find permanent jobs overseas27It is implied in paragraph2that the current immigration system in the US____.[A]needs new immigrant categories[B]has loosened control over immigrants[C]should be adopted to meet challenges[D]has been fixed via political means28According to the author,today’s birds of passage want___[A]financial incentives.[B]a global recognition.[C]opportunities to get regular jobs.[D]the freedom to stay and leave.29The author suggests that the birds of passage today should be treated__[A]as faithful partners.[B]with economic favors.[C]with regal tolerance.[D]as mighty rivals.30which is the best title of the passage?[A]come and go:big mistake[B]living and thriving:great risk[C]with or without:great risk[D]legal or illegal:big mistakeText3Scientists have found that although we are prone to snap overreactions,if we take a moment and think about how we are likely to react,we can reduce or even eliminate the negative effects of our quick,hard-wired responses.Snap decisions can be important defense mechanisms;if we are judging whether someone is dangerous,our brains and bodies are hard-wired to react very quickly,within milliseconds.But we need more time to assess other factors.To accurately tell whether someone is sociable,studies show,we need at least a minute,preferably five.It takes a while to judge complex aspects of personality,like neuroticism or open-mindedness.But snap decisions in reaction to rapid stimuli aren’t exclusive to the interpersonal realm.Psychologists at the University of Toronto found that viewing a fast-food logo for just a few milliseconds primes us to read20percent faster,even though reading has little to do with eating.We unconsciously associate fast food with speed and impatience and carry those impulses into whatever else we’re doing,Subjects exposed to fast-food flashes also tend to think a musical piece lasts too long.Yet we can reverse such influences.If we know we will overreact to consumer products or housing options when we see a happy face(one reason good sales representatives and real estate agents are always smiling),we can take a moment before buying.If we know female job screeners are more likely to reject attractive female applicants,we can help screeners understand their biases-or hire outside screeners.John Gottman,the marriage expert,explains that we quickly“thin slice”information reliably only after we ground such snap reactions in“thick sliced”long-term study.When Dr.Gottman really wants to assess whether a couple will stay together,he invites them to his island retreat for a muck longer evaluation;two days,not two seconds.Our ability to mute our hard-wired reactions by pausing is what differentiates us from animals:doge can think about the future only intermittently or for a few minutes.But historically we have spent about12percent of our days contemplating the longer term.Although technology might change the way we react,it hasn’t changed our nature.We still have the imaginative capacity to rise above temptation and reverse the high-speed trend.31.The time needed in making decisions may____.[A]vary according to the urgency of the situation[B]prove the complexity of our brain reaction[C]depend on the importance of the assessment[D]predetermine the accuracy of our judgment32.Our reaction to a fast-food logo shows that snap decisions____.[A]can be associative[B]are not unconscious[C]can be dangerous[D]are not impulsive33.To reverse the negative influences of snap decisions,we should____.[A]trust our first impression[B]do as people usually do[C]think before we act[D]ask for expert advice34.John Gottman says that reliable snap reaction are based on____.[A]critical assessment[B]‘thin sliced’study[C]sensible explanation[D]adequate information35.The author’s attitude toward reversing the high-speed trend is____.[A]tolerant[B]uncertain[C]optimistic[D]doubtfulText4Europe is not a gender-equality heaven.In particular,the corporate workplace will never be completely family—friendly until women are part of senior management decisions,and Europe’s top corporate-governance positions remain overwhelmingly male.Indeed,women hold only14percent of positions on Europe corporate boards.The Europe Union is now considering legislation to compel corporate boards to maintain a certain proportion of women-up to60percent.This proposed mandate was born of st year,Europe Commission Vice President Viviane Reding issued a call to voluntary action.Reding invited corporations to sign up for gender balance goal of40percent female board membership.But her appeal was considered a failure:only24companies took it up.Do we need quotas to ensure that women can continue to climb the corporate Ladder fairy as they balance work and family?“Personally,I don’t like quotas,”Reding said recently.“But i like what the quotas do.”Quotas get action:they“open the way to equality and they break through the glass ceiling,”according to Reding,a result seen in France and other countries with legally binding provisions on placing women in top business positions.I understand Reding’s reluctance-and her frustration.I don’t like quotas either;they run counter to my belief in meritocracy,government by the capable. Bur,when one considers the obstacles to achieving the meritocratic ideal,it does look as if a fairer world must be temporarily ordered.After all,four decades of evidence has now shown that corporations in Europe as the US are evading the meritocratic hiring and promotion of women to top position—no matter how much“soft pressure”is put upon them.When women do break through to the summit of corporate power--as,for example,Sheryl Sandberg recently did at Facebook—they attract massive attention precisely because they remain the exception to the rule.If appropriate pubic policies were in place to help all women—whether CEOs or their children’s caregivers—and all families,Sandberg would be no more newsworthy than any other highly capable person living in a more just society.36.In the European corporate workplace,generally_____.[A]women take the lead[B]men have the final say[C]corporate governance is overwhelmed[D]senior management is family-friendly37.The European Union’s intended legislation is________.[A]a reflection of gender balance[B]a reluctant choice[C]a response to Reding’s call[D]a voluntary action38.According to Reding,quotas may help women______.[A]get top business positions[B]see through the glass ceiling[C]balance work and family[D]anticipate legal results39.The author’s attitude toward Reding’s appeal is one of_________.[A]skepticism[B]objectiveness[C]indifference[D]approval40.Women entering top management become headlines due to the lack of______.[A]more social justice[B]massive media attention[C]suitable public policies[D]greater“soft pressure”Part BDirections:You are going to read a list of headings and a text.Choose the most suitable heading from the list A-F for each numbered paragraph(41-45).Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET1.(10points)The hugely popular blog the Skint Foodie chronicles how Tony balances his love of good food with living on benefits.After bills,Tony has£60a week to spend,£40of which goes on food,but10years ago he was earning£130,000a I year working in corporate communications and eating at London's betft restaurants'"at least twice a week.Then his marriage failed,his career burned out and his drinking became serious."The community mental health team saved my life.And I felt like that again,to a certain degree,when people responded to the blog so well.It gave me the validation and confidence that I'd lost.But it's still a day-by-day thing."Now he's living in a council flat and fielding offers from literary agents.He's feeling positive,but he'll carry on blogging-not about eating as cheaply as you can-"there are so many people in a much worse state,with barely any money to spend on food"-but eating well on a budget.Here's his advice for economical foodies.[A]Live like a peasant[B]Balance your diet[C]Shopkeepers are your friends[D]Remember to treat yourself[E]Stick to what you need[F]Planning is everything[G]Waste not,want not41._____________________Impulsive spending isn't an option,so plan your week's menu in advance, making shopping lists for your ingredients in their exact quantities.I have an Excel template for a week of breakfast,lunch and dinner.Stop laughing:it's not just cost effective but helps you balance your diet.It's also a good idea to shop daily insteadof weekly,because,being-human,you'll sometimes change your mind about what you fancy.42____________________________________________________________This is where supermarkets and their anonymity come in handy.With them, there's not the same embarrassment as when buying one carrot in a little greengrocer.And if you plan properly,you'll know that you only need,say,350g of shin of beef and six rashers of bacon,not whatever weight is pre-packed in the supermarket chiller.43_________You may proudly claim to only have frozen peas in the freezer-that's not good enough.Mine is filled with leftovers,bread,stock,meat and fish.Planning ahead should eliminate wastage,but if you have surplus vegetables you'll do a vegetable soup,and all fruits threatening to"go off'will be cooked or juiced.44___________________________________Everyone says this,but it really is a top tip for frugal eaters.Shop at butchers, delis and fish-sellers regularly,even for small things,and be super friendly.Soon you'll feel comfortable asking if they've any knuckles of ham for soups and stews, or beef bones,chicken carcasses and fish heads for stock which,more often than not,They will let you have for free.45__________________You won't be eating out a lot,but save your pennies and once every few months treat yourself to a set lunch at a good restaurant-£1.75a week for three months gives you£21-more than"enough for a three-course lunch at Michelin-starred Arbutus.It's£16.95there-or£12.99for a large pizza from Domino's:I know which I'd rather eat.Section III

was,what happened in the news and even the day of the week.I’ve been able to do this since I was four.I never feel overwhelmed with the amount of information my brain absorbs my mind seems to be able to cope and the information is stored away reatly.When Ithink of a sad memory,I do what everyone does-try to put it to one side.I don’t think it’s harder for me just because my memory is clearer.Powerful memory doesn’t make my emotions any more acute or vivid.I can recall the day my grandfather died and the sadness I felt when we went to the hospital the day before.I also remember that the musical play Hair opened on the Broadway on the same day-they both just pop into my mind in the same way.Section IV Writing47.Suppose your class is to hold a charity sale foe kids in need of

Then you should mark the corresponding letter on the Answer sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passageWhy do people smoke? One reason is that people become addicted to cigarettes. To be addicted means that your body comes to need them. The addictive substance in cigarettes is nicotine. When people smoke, the nicotine goes right into the blood and makes people feel relaxed. A smoker’s body gets used to the nicotine and if he stops smoking, he feels nervous.Another reason is that people simply enjoy smoking. Having a cigarette for many people means taking a rest. Some people, for example, enjoy a cigarette after dinner. Many people enjoy smoking because it gives you something to do with your hands.Many people also like the taste of tar in cigarettes. However, it’s the tar that causes cancer. While governments and health experts have tried to get people to give up smoking entirely, cigarette manufacturers have tried to keep catching them by producing cigarettes with less tar. Many people have welcomed the cigarettes since they find it hard to stop smoking but want to reduce the danger to their health.21. One of the reasons for smoking is that .A. people become addicted to cigarettes.B. smoking isn’t as harmful as we used to think.C. many people prefer the smell of nicotine.D. our bodies need nicotine in cigarettes.22. Once an addicted smoker stops smoking, he feels .A. cheerfulB. pleasedC. nervousD. disappointed23. “Tar” is a kind of substance in cigarettes which can cause .A. fluB. cancerC. hepatitisD. SARS24. The word “catching” in the last paragraph means .A. sniffingB. detectingC. attractingD. preserving25. Since it is difficult for many people to stop smoking, the probable solutionmay lie in .A. producing cigarettes without nicotineB. producing cigarettes without tarC. producing cigarettes without nicotine and tarD. producing cigarettes with less tarPassage 2Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passageThere was once a man in South America who had a parrot, a pet bird that could imitate human speech. The parrot was unique. There was no other bird like him in the whole world. He could learn to say any word except one. He could not say the name of his native town—Katano. The man did everything he could to teach the parrot to say “Katano”, but he never succeeded. At first he was very gentle with the bird, but gradually he lost his temper. “You stupid bird! Why can’t you learn to say the word? Say ‘Katano’ or I’ll kill you!” But the bird would never repeat the name. Finally the man gave up. He picked up the parrot and threw him into the chicken house. “You are even more stupid than the chickens.”In the chicken house, there are four old chickens, waiting to be killed for Sunday’s dinner.The next morning, when he went out to the chicken house, the man opened the door. He was shocked by what he saw. He could not believe his eyes and ears. On the floor lay three dead chickens! The parrot was screaming at the fourth, “Say ‘Katano’, or I’ll kill you!”26. Why was the parrot unique?A. Because it was a pet.B. Because it could imitate human speech.C. Because it could learn to say most of human’s vocabulary.D.

A Talking ParrotPassage 3Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passageLast week when I was watching TV news, the announcer, whose name was Ralph Story, said something that caught my attention. “All great discoveries,” he said, “are made by people between the ages of twenty-five and thirty.”Being a little over thirty myself, I wanted to disagree with him. The next day I spent several hours in the public library looking up ages of famous people and their discoveries. Ralph was right.But why don’t best years come after thirty? After thirty, I guess, most people don’t want to take risks or try new ways. Then I thought of people like Shakespeare and Picasso. The former was writing wonderful works at the age of fifty, while the latter was still trying new ways of painting when he was ninety! Perhaps there is still hope for me.31.

Because the announcer always misled his audience.D. Because he would not want to believe the news until he could confirm.34. What did the author do to make sure of the news?A. He consulted some books in library.B. He spent several hours in thinking.C. He inquired of some famous people.D. He made an investigation himself.35.

Each passage is followed by some questions. 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.Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:Philanthropy is a way that people and organizations show concern for others or work to improve the world. Approximately 72 percent of Americans donate to charity (慈善机构), and 51 percent do volunteer work. About 2 millions not-for-profit organizations and charities in the United States today receive this help.There are three types of philanthropists: individuals, foundations, and private corporations. Individuals give money or volunteer their time tosupport causes that are important to them. Foundations are organizations started by very wealthy individuals. Their “business” is not to make a profit but to give money away to not-for-profits. Private corporations may also use a portion of their business profits to make donations, or they may give away their products or services free of charge. However, foundations and corporations are responsible for only 20 percent of charitable donations; 80 percent comes from individuals.What makes people and institutions give away their time and money? One reason is altruism, the unselfish desire to help other people and make the world a better place. Other reasons involve personal interest. Under US tax law, an individual or business does not have to pay income tax on money that is donated to charity. For extremely wealthy individuals and corporations, this can mean millions of dollars they do not have to pay in taxes to the government. In addition to tax benefits, donors often receive favorable publicity for making donations, and they have an opportunity to influence the world around them.31. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A. Philanthropy has become an accepted American custom.B. Philanthropy has made the US a great influence in the world.C. More and more organizations rely on philanthropy nowadays.D. Religion plays an important role in the philanthropy in the US.32. Which of the following is NOT characteristic of philanthropists?A. To donate money.B. To do volunteer work.C. To pay income tax.D. To provide free services.33. What is the main source of donations in the United States?A. Foundations.B. Individuals.C. The government.D. Private corporations.34. How are foundations different from private corporations in the aspect ofphilanthropy?A. They don’t make a profit.B. They receive more publicity.C. They are set up by very rich individuals.D. They don’t donate money to individuals.35. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Individuals tend to donate money to become famous.B. Foundations gain more power because of philanthropy.C. Some people donate money for practical purposes.D. The US tax law discourages people from donating money.Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:A lot of people think that if they put off the decision of whether they want to stay in or leave their relationships, the problems they are having will magically somehow heal themselves or disappear. They won’t.If you don’t invest some quality time now in taking a true, honest and truthful look at the state of your relationship, you could stay stuck in this place of indecision for a very long time. Many people waste so much precious time when they could be experiencing an incredible relationship filled with love, passion and joy, either in their current relationship or one that is more of what they want. We encourage you to take an honest look at your situation and feel how much pain you’ve been feeling about this relationship. If having a great relationship is important to you, you need to decide that you’re not willing to live without the love, passion, intimacy, and tenderness. You have to take the first step to create the kind of relationship and love you want in your life.We’re not suggesting that you should leave your current relationship or marriage and head out looking for the new love of your life. That’s your decision and one that should only be made after some careful insight andthinking. What we are telling you is that life is too short to go through it without having the love you want and the love that’s possible for all of us. If you are in a relationship that is causing you to wonder whether you should stay in it or leave—it’s important that you take some time now to make it clear so that you’ll be able to ask yourself openly and honestly whether you’ll be able to heal the challenges.36. To make a decision about whether they want to stay in or leave their relationships quicker, people should ________.A. leave the problems until they heal themselves or disappearB. head out looking for the new love of his /her lifeC. seek expert’s advice and not make a quick decisionD. have a clear understanding of the state of their relationships37. What does the word “incredible” (Para. 2) probably mean in the passage?A. Marvelous.B. Impossible.C. Unusual.D. Unnecessary.38. According to the passage, if one person is not willing to live without love, passion, tenderness and so on, he must ________.A. leave the current relationshipB. take an honest look at his situationC. spend time experiencing an incredible relationshipD. take the first step to create that kind of relationship39. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. If one starts to wonder about the current relationship, it is time to end it.B. Making the decision about one’s relationship needs careful insight.C. A relationship that brings you pain is not necessarily a bad one.D. Life is too short for people to find true love.40. The purpose of the passage is to ________.A. persuade people to find a better relationshipB. ask people to invest quality time in their relationshipsC. give people some advice on how to stay in or leave their relationshipsD. advise people how to have a relationship with love, passion and so on Section BDirections:In this section there is a short passage with five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements with no more than 10 words. Be sure to write your answers on Answer Sheet (2).German careers or jobs fall into several categories. First, there are positions that require strong ability in German with a company in Germany, Austria or Switzerland. This category may also include a job requiring good German and/or bilingual (双语的) skills within a company doing business in the US, Canada, Mexico or elsewhere. Secondly, there are jobs that can be done in English in German Europe. Then there are German companies abroad.Most minor and many major positions are filled by recruiting German, Austrian or Swiss nationals. If you are already in German Europe, you may have a better chance of finding a job. In any case, it is best if your company can handle all the formalities involved when a foreign national takes a job in Germany. There are also relocation services that can help with this if you don’t have any ideas yourself.The German unemployment rate has remained at a fairly high level over the last decade. It is almost impossible for a non-German to get a job in Germany unless she/he can prove that it can’t be done by a German national. In certain fields, such as computer science or information systems, “green card” foreign workers have been imported, but this practice is still uncommon. The reality of searching for and finding a suitable position in German Europe or with a German firm means two main things: knowledgeand planning. Too many times, job seekers have unrealistic expectations. Often they overestimate their language skills and underestimate the level of competition. Another danger is ignoring culture shock. That’s why we also offer links to culture-related sites.For getting most German jobs, it is your ability in a field—computers, teaching, advertising, etc.—rather than your German skills that will be the biggest factor in a successful search. But all other things being equal between you and another candidate, it is the person with the best language skills who usually gets the job.41. What is the requirement of the job within a company doing business in theUS, Canada, Mexico or elsewhere included in the first category?42. What might the company do for the benefit of a foreign employee?43. What seems to be “hot” fields if you are to find a job in German?44. What is the reason for the author to offer links to culture-related sites?45. What is more important to get most German jobs according to the passage?Part III Vocabulary and Structure (25 marks)Section A (15 marks, 0.5 mark each)Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.

Good idea!Section B Reading ComprehensionDirections: Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.Passage OneWhenever the sun dropped and the blue sky came up, my father and I used to climb the mountain near my house. Walking together, my father and I used to have a lot of conversations through which I learned lessons from his experiences. He always told me, “You should have goals like climbing the mountain.” Without the mountain-climbing that we both enjoyed, we couldn’t have enough time to spend together because my father was very busy. I really got a lot from the mountain-climbing. It gave me time to talk with my father and to be in deep thought as well as develop my patience.Once we climbed a very high mountain. It was so challenging for me because I was only ten year s old. During the first few hours of climbing, I enjoyed the flowers and trees, and the birds’ singing. But as time passed, I got a pain in both of my legs. I wanted to quit climbing, but my father said to me, “You can always see a beautiful sky at the top of the mountain, but you can’t see it before you reach the top. Only there can you see all of the nice things, which is just like your life.”At that time, I was too young to understand his words. But later after that, I got to know the meaning of hope in life. I found myself standing at the top of the mountain, and the sky was as clear as crystal.21. The passage tells us that mountain-climbing was ______ for the father and the son.A. hardB. enjoyableC. painfulD. comfortable22. The underlined word “crystal” in the passage means _______.A. 岩石B. 火焰C. 水晶D.寒冰23. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the father’s words in the second paragraph?A. You will get all you need at the top of the mountain.B. The sky is always as clear as crystal.C. You can find life is full of nice things.D. Never give up half-way.24. We can infer from the last paragraph that ______.A. the writer was very successful in his lifeB. the writer reached the top of the mountainC. though the writer was young, he could understand his fatherD. the writer used to stop half-way when he climbed the mountain25. The best title for the passage is ______.A. Reaching the Top of the MountainB. Standing at the Top of the MountainC. Conversations between Father and SonD. How to Get to the Top of the MountainPassage TwoEveryone has got two personalities (性格) —the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control yourself, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, you often change your sleeping positions. The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep.If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by new ideas. You don’t like to make people unhappy, so you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident.If you sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets. You worry a lot and you’re always easily becoming sad. You never want to change your ideas, but you are satisfied with your life the way it is. You usually live for today not for tomorrow.If you sleep on curled up (蜷缩), you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt, so you are very defensive. You’re shy and you don’t usually like meeting people. You like to be on your own.If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced (平衡的) personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You’re usually careful. You have a confi dent personality. You sometimes feel worried, but you don’t often get unhappy. You always say what you think, even if it makes people angry.26. You may find the passage in_____.A. a science magazineB. a guide bookC. a sports newspaperD. a story book27. When does the sleeping position best show your secret personality?A. In the daytime.B. At the beginning of sleep.C. At night.D. During the deep sleep.28. Tina hardly tells her secrets to her friends. She probably goes to sleep _______.A. on curled upB. on her stomachC. on her backD. on her side29. What does the word "defensive" mean in the passage?A. 易怒的B. 攻击性的C. 外向的D. 有戒心的30. What does the passage tell us?A. Sleeping on your side is the best way of sleeping.B. Changing positions will cause sleeping problems.C. Sleeping positions show people’s secret personalities.D. Enough sleep makes people look better and healthier.Passage ThreeThere have been many great inventions or things that changed the way we live. The first great invention was the one that is still very important today——the wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distance.For hundreds of years after that there were few inventions that as much effect as the wheel. Then in the early 1800s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didn’t have to explore much any more. They began to work inst ead to make life better.In the second half of the 19th century many great inventions were made. Among them were the camera, the light and the radio. These all play a big part in our daily life today.The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions. The helicopter in 1909, movies with sound in 1926, the computer in 1928, jet planes in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon came out in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wore.The middle part of the 20th century brought new ways to help people get over diseases. They worked very well. They made people healthier and allowed them to live longer. By the 1960s most people could expect to live to be at least 60.By this time most people in developed countries had a very good life. Of course new inventions continued to be made. But man now had a desire to explore again. The earth was known to man but the stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan, have made their own steps into space.In 1969 man took his biggest step away from earth. Americans first walked on the moon. This is certainly just a beginning, though. New inventions will some day allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of.31. This passage talks mainly about .A. why cars were very importantB. when light was inventedC. how inventions affect people’s daily lifeD. which country made the first step into space32. According to the passage man didn’t have a desire to explore a lot .A. at the beginning of 1800sB. in the 1960sC. since the 1900sD. from the 1800s to 1960s33.

Nylon came out of five years later than .A. radioB. cameraC. jet planesD. movies35. People can live longer lives because that help cure diseases have worked very well.A. doctorsB. new waysC. medicinesD. new hospitalsPassage FourShopping is an important part of any tourist’s activities. Shopping leads as the number on e activity while traveling for both domestic and international travelers. The Travel Industry Association of America (TIA) reports that shopping is an activity engaged in by 33 percent of domestic travelers. The U.S. Department of Commerce reports that 90 percent of international visitors shopped in the United States in 1997 as part of their vacation activities.An example of shopping’s importance is the Bayside Marketplace. The Rouse Company has created Miami—Dade Country’s number one visitor attraction, B ayside Marketplace, which was launched in April 1987. It has attracted more than 120 million visitors from South Florida and around the world. The Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau has repeatedly identified Bayside as Miami—Dade County’s number on e visitor attraction, and Florida Trend magazine recently published a report naming Bayside as the fifth—most –visited attraction in the state of Florida.Bayside has nearly 140 shops offering a variety of merchandise(商品) in both the North and South Pavilions and Pier 5 Marketplace. In addition, Hard Rock Caféand nine additional full—service restaurants offer everything from different countries. For visitors on the run, the International Food Court offers 20 fast food eateries(餐馆). Bayside is also the only entertainment venue(聚会地点) in the city offering free concerts 365 days a year.36.

While it would be wonderful to have these types of relationships with all people, we know that’s hard to do. However, we can have such relationships with some others, but only when we first have them with ourselves — and, strangely, this is often the hardest relationship of all.Do you love yourself? You may think you do, but do you really? There’s only one way to find out — by taking a close look at what you think, say and do. You may not like some of wha t you find, but if you’re serious (认真的) about really loving yourself, you can use this insight to do some positive inner work.Here are three ways for gaining greater personal insight (洞察力) for deeper love.Listen Closely to Your Thoughts (想法)Your thoughts will determine your actions. One of the things that have helped you to listen to your thoughts is keeping a journal (日志). It is not necessary for you to write in it everyday, but it helps to record various insights you gain as you go about your life. Instead of using a big notebook, you might use a small notepad (笔记本) that you can keep in your purse or pocket for easy access to record your thoughts as they occur to you. Whichever method you choos e, what’s most important is that you write your thoughts dow n. It will help you know what’s in your heart.Be Honest with YourselfTo do this, you should pay attention to your actions. Actions speak louder than words, and they always tell the truth. If you say you love your job, but your actions say otherwise, which do you think is more true—your words or your actions? On the other hand, if you say you're not good at a certain job, but your actions say otherwise, that's also important. What do you do with this insight? You can use it to make more positive choices in your life. By being honest with yourself, you will act according to truth instead of just what you tell yourself.Take Quiet Time to Listen to Your Inner Voice.This is similar (相似的) to the first point, but it takes it a step further — beyond (超越) the natural mind to the heart that cannot be seen. You may want to use your quiet time to think deeply. However you use this time, the key is to shut out all of the noise around you by focusing (注意) deep within yourself. Breathing deeply during quiet time will also help you focus. I know it's hard to find quiet time during a particularly (特别的) busy day, but it's so important — even if it's just 10 minutes a day and you have to hide somewhere to get it. Quiet time can really make a difference in your life.Despite (尽管) what your subconscious (潜意识) may be telling you, you can have love with no limits. The key is to unconditionally (无条件地) love yourself first.1. The passage tells us that it’s not easy for us to love and accept ourselves the way we are.2. The only way to know whether we really love ourselves is to look deeply to our thoughts, words, and actions.3. The author provides (提供) two methods for obtaining (获得) greater personal insight for deeper love.4. An important way for gaining personal insight is to pay attention to our thoughts.5. Writing down our thoughts cannot definitely tell us what is in our heart.6. Though actions speak louder than words, they don’t always tell the truth.7. The benefit of being honest with ourselves is that it helps us to tell the differences between our words and our actions.8. The insight we gain from our actions can help us make in our life.9. It’s true that quiet time would in our life.10. If we can unconditionally love ourselves first, then we can have .Part III Reading comprehension (Reading in Depth) (A: 2 point×10=20 points; B: 3 points×5=20 points) Directions: In this part, there are 2 passages.

Choose the ONEthat you think is the best answer.Passage OneAfter practicing as a surgeon for several years, Dr. Ginoux decided to apply for membership in the American College of Surgeons, a highly selective and distinguished professional organization.As part of the application procedure, Dr. Ginoux was asked to prepare a list of all operations performed in the previous seven years. Slowly, as she worked on the long list, she began to feel uncertain. She began to question some of her decisions. Had she used the best technique in that case? Maybe, in this case, she should have run one more test before operating? On the other hand, maybe she should have …Would the doctors on the selection committee understand that, as the only trained surgeon in the area, she usually could not get advice from others and therefore, had to rely completely on her own judgment? For the first time, Dr. Ginoux felt lonely and isolated.The longer Dr. Ginoux worked on the application forms, the more depressed she became. As hope faded, she wondered if a “country doctor” had a realistic chance of being accepted by the American College of Surgeons.1.Dr. Ginoux was working inA. a large cityB.the American College of SurgeonsC.an area far from any big cityD. a selective organization2.The application forms must includeA.the decision procedureB. a record of all the operationsC.the best techniqueD. a list of advice and judgments3.It was most probable that Dr. Ginoux wasA. a member in that surgeonB. a well-trained surgeonC. a graduate from the American College of SurgeonsD. a distinguished surgeon in America4.When she was filling the application forms, Dr. Ginoux began to beA.realisticB.distinguishedC.perplexedD.decisive5.When filling the forms, Dr. Ginoux felt depressed becauseA.she didn’t perform enough operationsB.some operations were unsuccessfulC.she did n’t get advice from the selection committeeD.she was doubtful about her operationsPassage TwoAt sixteen Ron Mackie might have stayed at school, but the future called to him excitedly. “Get out of the classroom into a job,” it said, and Ron obeyed. His father, supporting the decision, found a place for him in a supermarket. “You’re lucky, Ron,”he said. “For every boy with a job these days, there’s a dozen with-out.” So Ron joined the working world at twenty pounds a week.For a year he spent his days filling shelves with tins of food. By the end of that time he was looking back on his school-days as a time of great variety and satisfaction. He searched for an interest in his work, with little success.One fine day instead of going to work Ron got a lift on a lorry going south. With nine pounds in his pocket, a full heart and a great longing for the sea, he set out to make a better way for himself. That evening, in Bournemouth, he had a sandwich and a drink in a café run by an elderly man and his wife. Before he had finished the sandwich, the woman had taken him on for the rest of the summer, at twenty pounds a week, a room upstairs and three meals a day. The ease and speed of it rather took Ron’s breath away. At quiet times Ron had to check the old man’s arithmetic in the records of the business.At the end of the season, he stayed on the coast. He was again surprised how straightforward it was for a boy of seventeento make a living. He worked in shops mostly, but once he took a job in a hotel for three weeks. Late in October he was taken on by the sick manager of a shoe shop. Ron soon found himself in charge there; he was the only one who could keep the books.6.Why did Ron Mackie leave school at sixteen?A.His father made him leaveB.He had reached the age when he had to leaveC.He left because he was worried about the futureD.He left because he wanted to start work7.What did Ron’s father think about his leaving school?A.He thought his son was doing the right thingB.He advised him to stay at school to complete his educationC.He did not like the idea, but he helped Ron to find work.D.He knew there was a job for every boy who wanted one.8.It took about a year for Ron to realize thatA.he worked well because he was interested in the jobB.his work at the supermarket was dull.C.being at work was much better than going to schoolD.the store manager wanted to get rid of him9.Why did Ron leave the supermarket?A.He knew he would find work in Bournemouth.B.He took a job as a lorry driver.C.He gave up the job because he felt unwell.D.He wanted to work at the seaside10.Ron was able to take over the shoe shop becauseA.he got on well with the manager thereB.he knew how to keep the accounts of the businessC.he had had experience of selling booksD.he was young and strongPassage ThreeIf you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of year. A noted scientist, Ellsworth Huntington (1876-1947), concluded from other men’s work and his own among peoples in different climates that climate and, temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities.He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than is summer heat. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that the mental abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer.Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in the spring man’s mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature.Fall is the next-best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation from thinking!11.According to the passage, your intelligence probably________.A.stays the same throughout the yearB.varies from day to dayC.changes with the seasonsD.changes from year to year12.Ellsworth Huntington decided that climate and temperature have _____A. a great effect on everyone’s intelligenceB.some effect on most persons’ intelligenceC.some effect on a few persons’ intelligenceD.no effect on most persons’ intelligence13.It seems that the cold winter____A.increases the ability to thinkB.is the best time for thinkingC.is better for thinking than is very warm weatherD.decreases the ability to think14.One possible reason why spring is the best season for thinking is that______A.all nature, including man, is growing thenB.it lasts longer than the other seasonsC.it is not too warm and not too coldD.both B and C15. According to the passage, any vacations from thinking should be taken ______A. several times throughout the yearB. during spring and fallC. during the summerD.as seldom as possiblePart IV Translation.

DPart II Reading Comprehension (20%)Passage 1The typical conversation between Americans takes a form that can be called repartee. No one speaks for very long. Speakers take turns frequently, often after only a few sentences have been spoken. “Watching a conversation between two Americans is like watching a table tennis game,” a British observer said. “Your head goes back and forth and back and forth so fast it almost makes your neck hurt.”Americans tend to be impatient with people who take long turns. Such people are said to “talk too much.” Many Americans have difficulty paying attention to someone who speaks more than a few sentences at a time, as Nigerians, Arabs, and some others do. Americans admireconciseness, or what they call “getting to the point.”Americans engage in little ritual interaction (礼仪式的交流). Onlya few ritual greetings are common: “How are you?” “I’m fine, thankyou,” “Nice to meet you,” and “Hope to see you again.” These things are said in certain situations Americans learn to recognize, and, like any ritual greetings, are concerned more with form than with substance.That is, the questions are supposed to be asked and the statements are supposed to be made in particular situations, no matter what the people involved are feeling or what they really have in mind. In many American’s opinions, people who rely heavily on ritual greetings are “too shy”or “too polite,” unwilling to reveal their true natures and ideas.Americans are generally impatient with long ritual greetings about family me mbers’ health—common among Latin Americans—considering thema waste of time.26.During a typical conversation between Americans, people try to be________.a. politeb. interestedc. concised. friendly27. By comparing a conversation between two Americans to a table tennisgame, the British observer means that _________.a. Americans like to take short turns in a conversationb. Americans enjoy talking as well as watching a table tennis gamec. Americans get excited easilyd. Americans talk with great expression28. Americans ___________ when they talk with Arabs.a. may lose their patienceb. have to listen very carefullyc. talk too muchd. never use English29. In the United States, ritual greetings __________.a. are very common in people’s conversationsb. are suitable in all situationsc. help to lead to a serious conversationd. have little substance30. According to this passage, Americans have a low opinion of peoplewho ____________.a.. do not talk muchb. do not pay attention to the speakerc. like to ask about other people’s healthd. bring too many ritual greetings into a conversationPassage 2Ask most American children what they want to be when they grow up,a nd they probably will say “doctor” or “lawyer.”Though our culture, our economy, indeed our very security are heavily dependent on science and engineering, only 12 percent of American high school students graduate with the prerequisites(必要条件) for a career in science or engineering. Worse yet, only 6 percent of minority children are said to be so prepared.Don’t be too surprised. If you ask further why the majority of the high school students would choose a career in medicine or law, the answers will be straight out of some popular TV shows.“Doctors help people. They save lives.” “Lawyers beat the bad guys.” Most students would say.Now, how about science or engineering as a career choice? The answers will be just as predictable: “Get real! Who wa nts to be a geek? They all are nerds. Besides, I hate math.”In our media, scientists and engineers typically are portrayed as introverted(内向的) and humorless. They always wear white lab coats, with a collection of pencils in their pocket protectors. They wear glasses with black plastic frames.If more students are to choose technical careers, they must have a better view presented to them.They need to be told, for instance, that the invention of lifesaving equipment saves lives just as surely as the application of it in the hospital.It also might help if someone emphasized to students that the lawyer who saved the defendant(被告) by introducing the DNA evidence would have seen him hanged had it not been for the scientists who discovered DNA.Whatever we do, u ntil students stop thinking of the term “engineer”as a synonym for “geek,” it is impossible to expect our children to change their views towards scientists and engineers.31. What is the problem with most American children when they choose theircareers?a. They have a very low opinion of science and engineering.b. They are too anxious to succeed in different fields.c. They are not sure what career suits them best.d. They do not have enough confidence in themselves.32. Which of the following has influenced American students greatly intheirchoice of their careers?a. Parents’ opinions.b. TV shows and various publications.c. Great discoveries made by doctors and lawyers.d. Culture and economy.33. In the passage, the writer criticizes the media for ___________.a. depicting scientists and engineers as nerds and geeksb. creating too much violence in the societyc. failing to report the great achievements made by scientistsd. using words like “nerd” and “geek” inap propriately34. In order to change the students’ view towards scientists andengineers, the writer suggests that _________.a. teachers reconsider their way of teaching mathematicsb. students be told about the wonders of science and engineeringc. scientists and engineers change their images a little bitd. the media stop praising doctors and lawyers excessively35. Judging from what is said in the passage, the writer obviouslybelieves that _________.a. scientists and engineers are more important than doctors and lawyersb. science and engineering have been dangerously ignoredc. American children are hopelessd. there are too many scientists and engineers nowadaysPassage 3Reaching new peaks of popularity in North America is Iceberg Water, which is harvested from icebergs off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.Arthur von Wiesenberger, who carries the title Water Master, is one of the few water critics in North America. As a boy, he spent time in the larger cities of Italy, France and Switzerland, where bottled water is consumed daily. Even then, he kept a water journal, noting the brands he liked best. “My dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water,” He says.But is plain tap water all that bad? Not at all. In fact, New York’s municipal water for more than a century was called the champagne of tap water and until recently considered among the best in the world in terms of both taste and purity. Similarly, a magazine in England found that tap water from the Thames River tasted better than several leading brands of bottled water that were 400 times more expensive.Nevertheless, soft-drink companies view bottled water as the next battle-ground for market share—this despite the fact that over 25percent of bottled w ater comes from tap water: PepsiCo’s Aquafina and Coca-Cola’s Dasani are both purified tap water rather than spring water.As diners thirst for leading brands, bottlers and restaurateurs salivate (垂涎) over the profits. A restaurant’s typical mark-up on wine is 100 to 150 percent, whereas on bottled water it’s often 300 to 500 percent. But since water is much cheaper than wine, and many of the fancier brands aren’t available in stores, most diners don’t notice or care.As a result, some restaurants are turning up the pressure to sell bottled water. According to an article in The Street Journal, some of the more shameless tactics include placing attractive bottles on the table for a visual sell, listing brands on the menu without prices, and pouring bottled water without even asking the diners if they want it.Regardless of how it’s sold, the popularity of bottled water taps into our desire for better health, our wish to appear cultivated, and even a longing for lost purity.36. What do we know about Iceberg Water from the passage?a. It is a kind of iced water.b. It is just plain tap water.c. It is a kind of bottled water.d. It is a kind of mineral water.37. By saying “My dog could tell the difference between bottled and tap water” (Para. 2), von Wiesenb erger wants to convey the message that ________.a. plain tap water is certainly unfit for drinkingb. bottled water is clearly superior to tap waterc. bottled water often appeals more to dogs tasted. dogs can usually detect a fine difference in taste38. The “fancier brands” (Para. 5) refers to ________.a. tap water from the Thames Riverb. famous wines not sold in ordinary storesc. PepsiCo’s Aquafina and Coca-Cola’s Dasanid. expensive bottled water with impressive names39. Why are some restaurants turning up the pressure to sell bottled water?a. Bottled water brings in huge profits.b. Competition from the wine industry is intense.c. Most diners find bottled water affordable.d. Bottled water satisfied diners’ desire to fashionable.40. According to passage, why is bottled water so popular?a. It is much cheaper than wine.b. It is considered healthier.c. It appeals to more cultivated people.d. It is more widely promoted in the market.Passage 4As we have seen, the focus of medical care in our society has been shifting from curing disease to preventing disease—especially in terms of changing our many unhealthy behaviors, such as poor eating habits, smoking, and failure to exercise. The line of thought involved in this shift can be pursued further. Imagine a person who is about the right weight, but does not eat very nutritious (有营养的) foods, who feels OK but exercises only occasionally, who goes to work every day, but is not an outstanding worker, who drinks a few beers at home most nights but does not drive while drunk, and who has no chest pains or abnormal blood counts, but sleeps a lot and often feels tired. This person is not ill. He may not even be at risk for any particular disease. But we can imagine that this person could be a lot healthier.The field of medicine has not traditionally distinguished between someone who is merely “not ill” and someone who is in excellent health and pays attention to the body’s special needs. Both types have simply been called “well.” In recent year s, however, some health specialists have begun to apply the terms “well” and “wellness” only to those who are actively striving to maintain and improve their health. People who are well are concerned with nutrition and exercise, and they make a point of mo nitoring their body’s condition. Most important, perhaps, people who are well take active responsibility for all matters related to their health. Even people who have a physical disease or handicap (缺陷) may be “well,” in this new sense, if they make an eff ort to maintain the best possible health they can in the face of their physical limitations. “Wellness” may perhaps best be viewed not as a state that people can achieve, but as an ideal that people can strive for. People who are well are likely to be better able to resist disease and to fight disease when it strikes. And by focusing attention on healthy ways of living, the concept of wellness can have a beneficial impact on the ways in which people face the challenges of daily life.41.
