It is known,in the business, as “hoisting”.But the hoisting game is not 38 it used to be. Even at the height of the sales, shoplifters today never know 39 they are being watched by one of those evil little balls that hang from the ceilings of so many department stores above the most desirable goods.As if that was not trouble enough for them, they can now be filmed 40 and obliged to attend a showing of their performance in court.Selfridges was the first big London store to install closed-circuit videotape equipment to watch its sales floors. In October last year the store won its first court 41 for shoplifting using an evidence of a videotape clearly showing a couple 42 dresses. It was an important test case which 43 other stores to install similar equipment.When the balls, called sputniks, first make a(n) 44 in shops, it was widely believed that their only function was to 45 shoplifters. Their 46 ridiculous appearances, the curious holes and red lightsgoing on and off, certainly make the theory believable.It did not take long, 47 , for serious shoplifters to start showing suitable 48 . Soon after the equipment was 49 at Selfridges, store detective Brian Chadwick was sitting in the control room watching a woman 50 putting bottles of perfume into her bag.“As she turned to go,” Chadwick 51 , “she suddenly looked up at the ‘sputnik’ and stopped. She could not 52 have seen that the camera was trained on her because it is pletely hidden, but she 53 have had a feeling that I was looking at her.”“For a moment she paused, but then she 54 to counter and started putting everything 55 . When she had finished, she opened her bag towards the camera to show it was empty and hurried out of the store.”36. A. As B. With C. For D. Since37.

You’d better try your best to speak. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. But be careful not to let them keep you from improving the language. While you are doing this, a good exercise is to write—keep a diary, write notes, letters or articles, then if you can, ask someone to go through what you have written and tell you where is wrong. Many mistakes in your speaking will be easily found when you write. Through correcting the mistakes, you can do better in learning a language.If you are slow in speaking, don’t worry. One of the helpful ways is reading, either aloud or to yourself. The important thing is to choose something interesting to read. It can’t be too difficult for you. When you are reading in this way, don’t stop to look up the words if you can guess their meanings or if they have nothing important to do with the sentence. You can do that some other time.56. From the passage we know the groundwork is _________ while you arelearning a foreign language.A. readingB. writingC. speakingD. listening57. To improve the language, one has to _________.A. pay attention to speaking onlyB. try not to make mistakesC. correct mistakes onlyD. keep a diary and write notes, letters or articles58. The best title of this passage might be _________.A. How to Learn a Foreign LanguageB. How to Improve ReadingC. How to Learn WritingD. More Reading, Less SpeakingBWhen thinking about placing a human being in space, one of the most important questions was how to design special clothing needed to protect a person from the dangers of the space environment. The cold of space will freeze skin in a short time. The fierce heat of the sun can cause severe burns. The lack of atmosphere can cause gases in the body to expand and even burst. With no oxygen to breathe, a human being will die in only a few moments. Radiation from the sun is another risk in space. So is damage from small pieces of rock and objects like meteoroids (陨石).In 1933, an American flyer, Wiley Post, designed one of the firstsuccessful devices to protect a pilot at extreme heights. It was a large device that looked like a can surrounded the pilot's head. Astronauts in the American space agency (NASA) flew the first American space flights in the early 1960s. The clothing was similar to that invented by Wiley Post.Today, astronauts wear very different protective clothing. It lets them move, do useful tasks, and stay outside their spacecraft in fort and safety for several hours. The spacesuit is called the shuttle extravehicular mobility unit or EMU. It was designed to endure longer and to permit more movement than earlier spacesuits.The EMU has a number of parts that an astronaut can link together by using only one hand, which makes it possible for each astronaut to select the parts that fit correctly.Nowadays, NASA scientists are also considering the kind of spacesuits that would be needed for exploration on the planet Mars. Because of the gravity on Mars, spacesuits may have to be designed to be lighter than suits used in orbit or on the moon. The equipment may also have to protect astronauts from dust carried in the winds on Mars. And, they must be easyto repair and keep clean during a longer flight to and from the red planet.59. Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the dangers of space environment?A. Lack of oxygen.B. Fierce heat from the sun.C. Gases in the body.D. Radiation from the sun.60. Which of the following statements is true, according to this passage?A. Wiley Post designed the first protective clothing for astronauts.B. Astronauts wearing earlier spacesuits had some difficulty in moving,doing useful tasks and so on.C. EMU has many parts that can be linked together by using two hands.D. Special spacesuits have been used for exploration of the planet Mars.61. The underlined word “endure” means _______.A. provideB. moveC. liveD. last62. The best title of the passage might be ______.A. Space explorationB. Astronauts’ flightsC. The Advantages of SpacesuitsD. The Evolution of SpacesuitsCIn some urban centers, workholism is so mon that people do not consider it unusual: they accept the lifestyle as normal. Government workers in Washington D. C., for example, frequently work sixty to seventy hours a week. They don’t do this because they have to; they do it because they want to.Workholism can be a serious problem. Because true workaholics (工作狂) would rather work than do anything else, they probably don’t know how to relax.Is workholism always dangerous? Perhaps not. There are, certainly, people who work well under stress. Some studies show that many workaholics have great energy and interest in life. Their work is so pleasurable that they are actually very happy. For most workaholics, work and entertainment keep them busy and creative.Why do workaholics enjoy their jobs so much? There are severaladvantages to work. Of course, it provides people with paychecks, and this is important. But it offers more than financial security. It provides people with self-confidence; they have a feeling of satisfaction when they’ve produced a challenging piece of work and are able to say, “I made that.” Psychologists claim that work gives people an identity through participation in work, they get a sense of self and individualism. In addition, most jobs provide people with a socially acceptable way to meet others. Perhaps some people are pulsive about their work, but their addiction seems to be a safe-even an advantageous-one.63. The passage indicates that workaholics ______.A. just know work but nothing elseB. find their work provide them more satisfaction and self-confidencethan how much they are paidC. are willing to work hard for long hours without payD. has the work with more responsibility than others64. One of the reasons that some people are not willing to quit their jobs even in their eighties and nineties is that ______.A. they are in the need of financial securityB. they long for a sense of identity and being acplishedC. they would rather work than be disturbed by domestic affairsD. they may have health problems from sheer boresom65. This passage is mainly about ______.A. people who are absorbed in their work may enjoy movies, sports andother kinds of entertainmentB. workaholics are usually successful people, but their lives are in a messC. workholism can lead to serious problems but it can also create a joyful lifeD. those who work even under difficult conditions may be very happy66. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. in the eyes of all the mon people workaholics are peculiarB. workaholics are as addicted to their job as other people are to drugs or alcoholC. a piece of challenging work may provide the workaholics a sense of satisfactionD. to workaholics, work is the sole source of happinessDWhen I was young, I wished for a good car and a big house. That was my idea of success. I took all the advanced classes and tried to do well in the exams with my mind set on going to a key school.I just knew that I would somehow bee famous and be able to afford the car and the dream house. All the way through junior years, my mind was planning this beautiful future.Then in the eleventh grade, many losses changed my mind. First, one of my friends died at 16. Soon after, my great-grandmother passed away, followed by my beloved fourth-grade teacher. These events left me not knowing what to do or where to go. Death had never touched me so closely.After a long period of emptiness, it finally struck me: Life is not promised and neither is future success. Though I was attempting to achieve material success, I was not enjoying my daily life. I realized that finding inner peace, purpose and happiness will stick with me forever and that is real success.Enjoying life’s precious quirks (偶发事件) makes an ordinaryperson more successful than a wealthy person who isn’t content and takes everything for granted. The summer before senior years, my attitude changed greatly. Instead of memorizing facts, I began learning skills. Instead of focusing on the future, I focused on today and the many blessings and successes that came with it.I still get excellent grades, but now I devote weeks to studying instead of struggling for exams, and I think about the future with a deeper sense of meaning. For me, being successful means truly living life each day.67. The reason why the author changed his idea of success is that ________.A. he can’t afford his houseB. his beloved teacher diedC. he didn’t know what to do or where to goD. he lost a few beloved persons in a short time68. According to the author, which of the following is the real success for a person?A. Being famous.B. Truly living life each day.C. Good car and big house.D. Material achievements.69. What does the author want to tell the readers?A. The true meaning of life.B. The true meaning of studying.C. How to achieve success.D. His opinion about success.70. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?A. The author thinks that success is not promised.B. His teacher died before the death of his great-grandpa.C. The author didn’t do well in all the exams.D. He didn’t want to take all the exams.第五部分；任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）Do you love traveling? If the answer is yes, then have you ever thought about why? You may maintain that traveling can help you expand your scope of knowledge, especially geographical and historical learning. It will provide more chances for you to enjoy food and try on clothes that you otherwise cannot possible have. A famous English author Francis Bacon (1561-1626) makes a point when he says that, “Travel, in the younger sort, is a part o f education; in the elder, a part of experience.”Evidence of leisure travel can be traced as far back as ancientBabylon. This year, according to the World Travel & Tourism Council, the 1 billionth tourist will cross an international boundary before the end of this month. That means that one in seven people on the planet traveled this year, something that would not have been possible a few decades ago. Around 20 years ago only the rich could travel.While the US and France remain the two largest destinations for world travel, experts say much of the explosive growth in tourism has been to countries like Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, and the Ivory Coast, which weren’t even on the world tourism map a decade ago. The top five destinations in the world, according to the United Nations World Tourism Organization, are Paris, London, New York, the Mediterranean, Turkey.Several factors have led to the boom in world travel. The prosperity (富裕) of people in Asia is one factor. People in Asian developing countries have lifted their ines above middle-class levels in the past few years. And a lot of them have used their new wealth to travel. In addition, travel costs have been reduced thanks to the rapid development of transportation, and petition between airlines to give customers the best prices.第六部分书面表达(满分25分)人们完成工作的方式通常有两种：独立完成和合作完成。
