Passage One For generations, the Nganyi people of western Kenya have served as rainmakers, helping local communities decide when best to prepare their land and sow their seeds. By observing subtle changes in nature that would be unnoticeable to most people-in air currents, the flowering and shedding of leaves of certain trees, the behaviour of ants, bird songs, etc-they have been able to interpret weather patterns and provide valuable advice. But the irregular weather patterns brought by climate change mean the rainmakers can no longer use those sighs to make their predictions. And they don’t have access to the technologies available to meteorologists (⽓象学家). “Climate change has come on so fast. People don’t know how to adapt or what to plant,”says Obedi Osoce, a traditional weatherman. “Our traditional crops are disappearing because they cannot handle the new conditions. We need new strategies to handle climate change.” Now a British-Canadian project si doing just that, linking the rainmakers with government meteorologists. The two groups get together each season and produce an agreed forecast to be spread using a variety of methods suited to communities where many cannot read or write-through ceremonies, public meetings and person-to person comma-kation. Both parties are pleased with the collaboration. “ I think the two sciences equally valid. We are marrying our energies to help people better,” says Mr. Onunga, a Nganyi community elder involved in the project. ‘The results have been surprisingly good-the community agreed that the forecast was accurate,” says Gilbert Ouma, a lecturer at the University of Nairobi. “Through this project we hope to learn what it is that we can share together to live today and to adapt to tomorrow,”says Professor Laban Ogallo, leader of the Nganyi project. 36. Which of the following has been used by traditional Nganyi rainmakers in weather prediction?A.Plant seedsB.Dog harksC.Bird songsD.Ocean currents 37. What difficulty do local rainmakers face in making weather predictions? A. They cannot find an effective way to deliver messages. B. They lack modern technologies to cope with climate change. C. They cannot get financial support from the local government. D. They lack the facilities to stop traditional crops from disappearing. 38. How do people involved in the British-Canadian project feel about their cooperation?A. SatisfiedB.ConfusedC. HopefulD.Regretful 39. Which statement best expresses the main idea of the passage? A. A British-Canadian project has been carried out to solve farming problems. B. The Nganyi people have made weather forecasts by observing changes in nature. C. New technologies have replaced traditional methods in weather prediction in Kenya. D. Scientists and Kenyan rainmakers work together in a joint weather prediction project. Passage Two After taking a six-week, fully paid maternity leave (产假) earlier this year, Francine Gemperle was anxious to resume her job but reluctant to be away from her baby daughter, Veronika. Fortunately, she did’t have to choose between them. Maya Design, a Pittsburgh based creative consulting firm, allows parents to bring newborns into the office. “If I’d had to leave my children after my maternity leave ended, I would never have goes back to work,” says Gemperle, a designer and researcher, who brought her son Milo into the office after he was born. She’s not the only parent taking advantage of the benefit. Senior analyst Jon West brings his 10-mouth-old son, Owen, to the several times a month. In fact, when West considered using only part of his paternity leave, his co-workers urged him to take all six weeks. “I had pressure to take that leave,” recalls West, “People told me, it’s an important part of your life and you need to experience it.” “No matter how quiet the baby is, it’s an obvious distraction (分⼼的事),”says Tory Johnson, the chief executive of Women for Hire, a New York City-based recruiting film. No one has complained yet. Even if somebody did, it wouldn’t matter to Mickey McManus, Maya’s CEO and president, who argues that the policy builds loyalty and helps parents shift back into work mode. As part of its balancing act, Maya shares up to 20% of quarterly profits with its employees. However, the size of those checks might be up in the air at the moment. The firm once laid off five workers and it is now considering 4-day weeks to avoid more layoffs. 40. Which of the following is true about Maya Design? A. It hires women with families. B. It has some overseas branches. C. It provide consulting services. D. It encourages the staff to work at home. 41. What is Tory Johnson’s responsibility according to the passage?A. Taking on women employees.B. Dealing with women’s complaintsC. Dismissing unqualified women staffD. Taking care of women staff welfare 42. What is the advantage of Maya’s policy according to Mickey McManus?A. It cuts down the management cost.B. It increases staff loyalty to the filmC. It keeps a balance between work and life.D. It promotes equality un employment. 43. Which of these would be the best title for the passage? A. A Flexible Working Schedule B. A staff shortage in Maya Design C. A Pittsburgh-based Working Place D. A Company Taking Care of Young Parents Passage Three Harry Potter fans will instantly recognize the snowy owl as Harry’s famous companies, Hedwig, but these beautiful owls are easily recognizable not for their magical associations, but for their large size and striking while feathers. Snowy owls are, in fact, the only white owl, and they are a highly sought after species for many birdwatchers to add to their life lists. Foods: Small mammals, birds, fish. Habitat and Migration: Snowy owls are found in far northern latitudes including tundra, a vast treeless frozen region in the Arctic. Their breeding grounds (繁殖地) are in the Arctic tundra, and they migrate south throughout Canada during the winter. In exceptionally server winters or when food supplies are searce, these owls can appear much further south than their normal range. While principally a North American bird, they can also migrate to the northern areas of Europe an Asia. Behaviour: Snowy owls, like all owls, are powerful animal bunters that are active mostly at night but can bunt and feed during the day, especially when food supplies are low. These owls will rest on the ground or on rocks, stumps and other low favorable points. Males can be fierce when defending the nest, and both g e n d e r s w i l l a l s o p e r f o r m a n i n j u r e d b i r d a c t t o t e m p t a n i m a l i n v a d e r s t o g o a w a y f r o m t h e n e s t . / p > p > 0 0 R e p r o d u c t i o n : S n o w y o w l s m a y i n c u b a t e ( u[ uS ) 3 - 1 0 e g g s f o r 3 0 - 3 4 d a y s , o r t h e i n c u b a t i o n m a y b e d o n e p r i m a r i l y b y t h e f r e a k .

Passage 1My formula for staying young is simple: concentrate on the part of you that’s young and growing-your brain. Keep your mind awake and you’ll stay young all over. These are exciting times. Take an interest in the world around you, and make a point of learning at least one new thing every day.Regardless of your age, it’s not too late to make your life more interesting. I know a housewife with no previous knowledge who made herself into an outstanding industrial designer; I know a retired electrical engineer who has become a highly paid ceramic artist.Get over the motion that you are too old to go to back to school. I know a man who entered medical college at 70. He got his degree with honors and became an eminent physician. Another man went to law school at 71 and is now an active lawyer.In spite of years, staying young is easy for those who live in the future. You can do it if you care enough to try. Keep your mind awake and active; that’s the only youth elixir guaranteed to work .31. The statement that our brain remains young and growing regardless of age is _______A. an impossibilityB. a scientific factC a suppositionD a ridiculous conclusion32. It is wrong to _______A think oneself too old to go back to schoolB keep one’s mind awakeC try to stay young D. get one’s degree with honors33. The passage states that a man who entered college at 70 became_______A. an active lawyerB. an electric engineerC. a distinguished doctorD. a highly paid ceramic artist34. The only youth elixir is to ______A go back to schoolB forget one’s own ageC keep in touch with young people D. keep one’s mind awake and active35. All of the following statements are true EXCEPT that _____A. human brain never gets old with ageB. every person should take up a new occupation when he becomes oldC. staying young is not difficult if one is willing to tryD. there is always something to learn if you have an interest in what’s going on around yo u Passage2If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago. We should probably have to say that we could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day. We should be able to give an answer to the question.It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country, but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4,000years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa, because they had not learned to write.Sometimes , of course, even if the people cannot write, they may know something of the past. They have heard about it from older people, and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings, and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations. For most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call "remembered history.〞Some of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is. Because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But where there are no written records, such spoken stories are often very helpful.36. Which of the following ideas is not conveyed in the passage?A. "Remembered story〞, compared with written history, is less reliable.B. Written records of the past plays a most important role in our learning of the human history.C. A written account of our daily activities helps us to answer some questionsD. Where there are no written records, there is no history.37. We know very little about the central Africa 200 years ago because _______A. there wad nothing worth being written down at that time.B. the people there ignored the importance of keeping a record.C. the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fireD. the people there had not known how to write38. "remembered history〞refers to ______A. history based on a person’s imaginationB. stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouthC songs and dances about the most important events.D. both B and C39. "remembered history〞is regarded as valuable only when ______A. it is written downB. no written account is availableC. it proves to be true.D. people are interested in it40. It can be inferred from the passage that we could have learned much more about our past than we do now if our ancestors had ____A. kept a written record of every past eventB. not burnt their written records in warsC. told exact stories of the most important happeningsD. made more songs and dancesPassage3For years, international swimming has been controlled by a small number of powerful nations. The U.S, Russia, Germany and Australia have produced some of the sport’s finest players and have won most of the top competitions and medals. But the results of this month’s world championships, which are being held in the Australian city of Perth, will not be so easy to predict. Since the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, many new names and nationalities have emerged to take on the world leaders.The 1996 Olympics should have been an opportunity for the U.S to display its great swimming power, but instead it faced some embarrassing defeats. The surprises started on the first day of the competitions, when Fred of Belgium set a world record in the competition for 100-metres breast-stroke<蛙泳>. Never before had Belgium produced an Olympic champion swimmer. Two other countries also won swimming gold medals for the first time on the opening day. Ireland’s Michelle Smith delighted her country with the first of her three gold medals. New Zealand also celebrated with Danyon Loader’s gold in the men’s 200-metres free style. Loader went on to win the 400 meters later in the competition.But late on the second day, the U.S team’s officials and coaches were starting to be surprised. Penny Heyns of South Africa had br oken the women’s 100-metre breast-stroke record in the morning competitions before claiming gold in the final.41. It is hard to predict the results of this month’s championships because ________A. players from different countries have emerged as new championsB. many names of the players haven’t been heardC. a few countries have won international swimming competitionsD. the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta was a success42.What the U.S had to face at the 1996 Olympics was ______A. new swimming powerB. a big successC. several unpleasant failuresD. a great deal of embarrassment43. The player of Belgium broke a world record in 100-metre breast-stroke which ______A. it had won beforeB. it had not gained beforeC. it had won many timesD. the U.S. had never won before44. How many medals have the other countries won on the opening day?A. ThreeB. FourC. FiveD. Six45. It can be inferred from the passage that ______A. the U.S. is still the only powerful country in swimmingB. the U.S. has been a great swimming powerC. Ireland once controlled international swimming.D. Belgium had won several world swimming championshipsPassage4When the steam engine was invented in the eighteenth century, it began one of the greatest revolutions that have ever happened in our world. The invention of the petrol engine at the end of the nineteenth century led to another enormous change in our lives. And the computer is almost certainly going to be an invention no less important than these engines were.Just as there was a Stone Age. An Iron Age and so on, we have been living for centuries in a Paper Age, during which almost all information was kept and sent on paper, and so much of it is wasted after it has been used once that enormous numbers of trees have to be cut down every year to provide us with this paper. But now, with the computer, enormous amounts of information can be stored and sent without any paper at all, using small discs or the Internet.Computers have made it possible to do very difficult calculations very much faster than any earlier machine could. Computers also allow one to send information to others anywhere in the world, via the telephone line, and to receive information from them. One can send a very long message more quickly fr om England to Australia, for example, than from one’s house to someone in the garden. Computers are not only used for writing; they can produce diagrams and pictures, and they can be used for playing games. One now sees them at airports and railway stations, in hotels and restaurants, in fact, almost everywhere where people gather.46. The author seems to say that the invention of the computer is ___A. not so important as that of the steam and petrol enginesB. at least as important as that of the steam and petrol enginesC. less important than that of the steam and petrol enginesD. far more important than that of the steam and petrol engines47. According to the author the disadvantage of using paper to keep and send information is tha_______A. it is hard to get enough paperB. it wastes our timeC. it damages the environmentD. there is too much paper around48. We may infer that the fastest way for computer to send messages is by using _____A. paperB. discsC. the telephone lineD. air mail49.

Reading comprehension (60 points )Directions: There are five reading passages in this each passage is followed by four questions.

Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneFor generations, the Nganyi people of western Kenya have served as rainmakers, helping local communities decide when best to prepare their land and sow their seeds. By observing subtle changes in nature that would be unnoticeable to most people-in air currents, the flowering and shedding of leaves of certain trees, the behaviour of ants, bird songs, etc-they have been able to interpret weather patterns and provide valuable advice.What difficulty do local rainmakers face in making weather predictions?But the irregular weather patterns brought by climate change mean therainmakers can no longer use those sighs to make their predictions. And they don’t have access to the technologies available to meteorologists (气象学家).“Climate change has come on so fast. People don’t know how to adapt or what to plant,”says Obedi Osoce, a traditional weatherman. “Our traditional crops are disappearing because they cannot handle the new conditions. We need new strategies to handle clim ate change.”Now a British-Canadian project is doing just that, linking the rainmakers with government meteorologists. The two groups get together each season and produce an agreed forecast to be spread using a variety of methods suited to communities where many cannot read or write-through ceremonies, public meetings and person-to person comma-kation.Both parties are pleased with the collaboration. “I think the two sciences equally valid. We are marrying our energies to help people better,”says Mr. Onunga, a Nganyi community elder involved in the project.‘The results have been surprisingly good-the community agreed that the forecast was accurate,”says Gilbert Ouma, a lecturer at the University of Nairobi.“Through this project we hope to learn what it is that we can share together to live today and to adapt to tomorrow,”says Professor Laban Ogallo, leader of the Nganyi project.36. Which of the following has been used by traditional Nganyi rainmakers in weather prediction?A.Plant seedsB.Dog harksC.Bird songsD.Ocean currents37. What difficulty do local rainmakers face in making weather predictions? they don’t have access to the technologies available to meteorologistsA. They cannot find an effective way to deliver messages.B. They lack modern technologies to cope with climate change.C. They cannot get financial support from the local government.D. They lack the facilities to stop traditional crops from disappearing.38. How do people involved in the British-Canadian project feel about their cooperation?A. SatisfiedB.ConfusedC. HopefulD.Regretful39. Which statement best expresses the main idea of the passage?A. A British-Canadian project has been carried out to solve farming problems.B. The Nganyi people have made weather forecasts by observing changes in nature.C. New technologies have replaced traditional methods in weather prediction in Kenya.D. Scientists and Kenyan rainmakers work together in a joint weather prediction project.Passage TwoAfter taking a six-week, fully paid maternity leave (产假) earlier this year, Francine Gemperle was anxious to resume her job but reluctant to be away from her baby daughter, Veronika. Fortunately, she did’t have to choose between them. Maya Design, a Pittsburgh based creative consulting firm, allows parents to bring newborns into the office.“If I’d had to leave my children after my maternity leave ended, I would never have goes back to work,”says Gemperle, a designer and researcher, who brought her son Milo into the office after he was born.She’s not the only parent taking advantage of the benefit. Senior analystJon West brings his 10-mouth-old son, Owen, to the several times a month. In fact, when West considered using only part of his paternity leave, his co-workers urged him to take all six weeks.“I had pressure to take that leave,”recalls West, “People told me, it’s an important part of your life and you need to experience it.”“No matter how quiet the baby is, it’s an obvious distraction (分心的事),”says Tory Johnson, the chief executive of Women for Hire, a New York City-based recruiting film.No one has complained yet. Even if somebody did, it wouldn’t matter to Mickey McManus, Maya’s CEO and president, who argues that the policy builds loyalty and helps parents shift back into work mode.As part of its balancing act, Maya shares up to 20% of quarterly profits with its employees. However, the size of those checks might be up in the air at the moment. The firm once laid off five workers and it is now considering 4-day weeks to avoid more layoffs.40. Which of the following is true about Maya Design?A. It hires women with families.B. It has some overseas branches.C. It provide consulting services.D. It encourages the staff to work at home.41. What is Tory Johnson’s responsibility according to the passage?A. Taking on women employees.B. Dealing with women’s complaintsC. Dismissing unqualified women staffD. Taking care of women staff welfare42. What is the advantage of Maya’s policy according to Mickey McManus?A. It cuts down the management cost.B. It increases staff loyalty to the filmC. It keeps a balance between work and life.D. It promotes equality un employment.43. Which of these would be the best title for the passage?A. A Flexible Working ScheduleB. A staff shortage in Maya DesignC. A Pittsburgh-based Working PlaceD. A Company Taking Care of Young ParentsPassage ThreeHarry Potter fans will instantly recognize the snowy owl as Harry’s famous companies, Hedwig, but these beautiful owls are easily recognizable not for their magical associations, but for their large size and striking while feathers. Snowy owls are, in fact, the only white owl, and they are a highly sought after species for many birdwatchers to add to their life lists.Foods: Small mammals, birds, fish.Habitat and Migration: Snowy owls are found in far northern latitudes including tundra, a vast treeless frozen region in the Arctic. Their breeding grounds (繁殖地) are in the Arctic tundra, and they migrate south throughout Canada during the winter. In exceptionally server winters or when food supplies are searce, these owls can appear much further south than their normal range. While principally a North American bird, they can also migrate to the northern areas of Europe an Asia.Behaviour: Snowy owls, like all owls, are powerful animal bunters that are active mostly at night but can bunt and feed during the day, especially when food supplies are low. These owls will rest on the ground or on rocks, stumps and other low favorable points. Males can be fierce when defending the nest, and both genders will also perform an “injured bird” act to tempt animal invaders to go away from the nest.Reproduction: Snowy owls may incubate (孵卵) 3-10 eggs for 30-34 days, or the incubation may be done primarily by the freak. The baby owls remain in the nest for 14-21 days and will attempt their first flight when they are 42-58 days old. Mated pairs will raise one group of young birds per year unless food supplies are inadequate and then no eggs may be produced.44、What have you learned from Paragraph 1?A. Harry Potter fans like snowy owlsB. Hedwig is one of the snowy owl watchersC. The snowy owl is a large bird with white feathersD. It is easy to find snowy owls in snow covered areas45、What does Paragraph 3 tell about snowy owls?A. The can be found in Asia and EuropeB. They live in groups in hard winter daysC. Their breeding grounds are in areas south to CanadaD. They appear in the Artic when food supplies are scarce46、For snowy owls, one way to defend their nest is _____A. to stand on a rock nearbyB. to pretend to have been injuredC. to spread their wingsD. to give a warning47、What will snowy owls probably do when food is insufficient?A. They may stop producing eggsB. They will reduce their flightsC. They will be less active at nightD. They will only hunt during he day Passage FourWe lost two superstars in 1977. Neither man’s admirers have been able to understand the success of the other one. And this tells us something of the difference between the generations that the two singers represent.There were similarities between Bing Crosby and Elvis Presley. Both reached fame while young and became very rich. Although neither one had any musical education, both developed their own musical styles, which were first criticized by the critics and later studied as new forms in the art of popular song. Both men had successful movie careers despite a total lack of acting ability.Both were creations of the microphone, which made it possible for singers with weak voices to be heard beyond the third now. With Bing the microphone was usually hidden; but Elvis brought it to the stage.The difference between the two men reflects the changing values in American life Crosby’s music was soothing( 令人舒畅的) , Presley’s was disturbing. Crosby was singing to wartime America. His audiences had all the disturbance they could handle in their private lives, they did not want to buy more at the record shop and the movie theater.Crosby’s admires always said how “relaxed”and “natural”he was. When Presley began his career, the whole country had become relaxed and easygoing. Its young people, who had no memory of trouble times, found it boring. They were hungry for excitement. They welcomed Elvis, who was certainly not the kind of young man their parents would admire. Presley wasload and vulgar( 粗俗的) ——and be was bringing something new and exciting.It is probably too simple to explain each man in terms of changes in the economic and political situation. Something in the culture was also changing.48、Which of the following could be inferred about Crosby and Presley?A. They died in the same year.B. They became popular in 1977C. They influenced each other in musicD. They represented the postwar generation49、In which aspect the singers are similar to each other?A. Their songs were widely used in moviesB. They became famous in late year of their livesC. Their musical styles are recognized by the criticsD. Neither of them received any formal musical education50、What did Crosby’s audiences get from his music?A. ExcitementB. DisturbanceC. Ease and comfortD. Passion and thrill51、What is most Presley to be discussed if the passage continues?A. The political situation that the two singers facedB. The cultural changes that the two singers experiencedC. The economic influence on the music of the two singersD. The message that the two singers expressed in their musicPassage FiveThere are millions of left-handed people in the world. A number of them got together in 1975 to form an association called Left-handers International. The purpose of the organization is to fight discrimination (particularly to jobs) and to inform the public. They want everybody to understand the left-handers are neither “strange” nor sick nor dangerous.Many studies have been made recently about hand preference in humans. They have brought interesting results. It has been found, for instance, that many more men than women are left-handed; that all children use both hands about equally until they are three years old; and that hand preference is not clearly marked until age six. Above that age, most people not only favour one particular hand but also have a favourite eye, a favourite ear and foot.We know that the left side of the body is controlled by the right side of the brain, which seems that this particular half is the seat of emotions, imagination, and of the sense of space. And, indeed, lefties in seem to be more creative than the right-handers; they also seem to be more athletic and to do better in some professions which ---like sports----require a good sense of space. In a large school of architecture , it was found in 1977 that 29% of the professes and 23% of the graduating students were left-handed---while lefties represent less than 10% of the general population.Finally, left-handers may be more stubborn and impulsive( 冲动的) than right-handers. And they are more likely to suffer from problems such as stuttering( 口吃) and a difficulty in reading called dyslexia. The problems are more serious in left-handed persons who have been forced to favour their right hand. Doctors insist that one should never try to change a child’s hand preference.52、What does Left-handers International aim to do for left-handers?A. To create new jobsB. To promote equalityC. To show discriminationD. To study hand preference53、According to recent studies, when is hand preference formed?A. Before birthB. At birthC. At age threeD. At age six54、Compared with right-handers, left-handers______A. are less creativeB. are more easygoingC. have a better sense of spaceD. do better in most professions55、Left-handers are advised to stick to their hand preference because_____A. it is fun and comfortable to be left-handersB. the left hand is just as good as the right handC. it is difficult for them to switch to the right handD. changing hand preference may cause serious problemsV.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choice marked A), B), C) andD). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on theAnswer Sheet with a single line through the centre.Passage OneStrange things happen to time when you travel, because the earth is divided into twenty four time zones, one hour apart. You can have days with more than twenty-four hours, and weeks with more or fewer than seven days.If you make a five-day trip across the Atlantic ocean, your ship enters a different time zone every day. As you enter each zone, the time changes one hour. Traveling west, you set your clock back; traveling east, you set it ahead. Each day of your trip has either twenty-five of twenty-three hours.If you travel by ship across the Pacific, you cross the international date line. By agreement, this is the point where a new day begins. When you cross the line, you change your calendar one full day, backward or forward. Traveling east, today becomes yesterday, traveling west, it is tomorrow!51. The difference in time between zones is _________ ．A) more than seven daysB) twenty-four hoursC) one hourD) seven days52.

If you are thinking of buying a dog, however, you should first decide what sort of companion you need and whether the dog is likely to be happy in the surroundings you can provide. Specialist advice is available to help you choose the most suitable breed of dog. But in part, the decisiondepends on common sense. Different dogs were originally developed to perform specific tasks. So, if you want a dog to protect you or your house, for example, you should choose a breed that has the right size and characteristicsYou must also be ready to devote a good deal of time to train the dog when it is young and give it the exercise it needs throughout its life, unless live in the country and can let it run freely. Dogs are demanding pets. Cats love the house and so are satisfactory with their place which is secure, but a dog is loyal to its master and consequently wants him to show proof of his affection.The best time to buy a baby dog is when it is between 6 and 8 weeks old so that it can transfer its affection from its mother to its master. If baby dogs have not established a relationship with the human being until they are over three months old, their strong relationship will always be with dogs. They are likely to be too shy when they are brought out into the world to become good pets.55. Which of the following is Not true according to the passage?A) Size and characteristics of the dogs should be considered too.B) It is common sense that is the most important when choosing a dog.C) You should decide what kind of dog you want.D) You can always get help from the specialists.56. What is mentioned as a consideration in buying a dog?A) The price of the dog.B) The color of the dog.C) Whether the dog will fit the environment.D) Whether the dog will get along with the other pets in the house.57. Why does the writer say a dog is a more demanding pet than a cat?A) It must be looked after carefully.B) It demands more food and space.C) It needs more love and care.D) It must be trained so that it won’t bite.58. Why is it advised to buy a baby dog under three months old?A) It’s easier to buy a baby dog under three months old.B) They are less likely to run away.C) They are less likely to be shy with human beings.D) It’s easier for them to form a relationship with their masters.Passage ThreeStudents who want to attend an American college or university must explain how they will pay for their education. They have to show that they will be able to pay for each year of study.Students have to consider not only the tuition, the cost of classes, but also meals and a place to live, known as room-and-board. They also need money for books , supplies ,social activities and other things.Educational advisers say foreign students should keep enough money in a local bank to pay for at least two months of spending. So how much will it cost every year to study at an American school? Generally speaking, the answer is: a lot. The University of Washington says foreign students are paying more than thirty-six thousand dollars this year. Its website says the Universityof Washington does not offer financial assistance to international students.This is generally true of American schools, especially at the undergraduate level. It means foreign students are faced with a heavy financial burden.The international application for the university includes a Statement of Financial Responsibility that must be signed. Students must also provide a bank letter or statement from within the past six months. And they have to name anyone who will help with payments. These people must send proof from a bank to show that they have the money.The government or employer may be able to help you pay all or some college costs. A good idea is to ask at least eighteen months before you want to start classes in the United States.Enough time should be ensured to go through procedures.59. Which statement is true according to the first paragraph?A) Foreign students in America can hardly support themselves.B) They should show that they are able to pay the first year of their study.C) Room-and-board refers to the expense on meals and accommodation.D) Students intending to attend an American college or university should explain who will payfor their education.60.

What is Not included in the international application for the university?A) A signed Statement of Financial Responsibility.B) A name list of anyone who will offer help for payments.C) A bank statement issued in the past six months.D) Proofs from banks showing that the students have got the money.62.

A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in 32 . He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary33 . All men simplywalk into a shop and ask for what they want. If the shop has it in 34 , the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of 35 it on proceeds at once. And if all 36 well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, With 37 chat and to everyone’s satisfaction.Now how does a woman go out buying clothes? Her shopping is not always 38 on needs. She has 39 fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only “having a look 40 .” She is always open to persuasion. Indeed she gets great store bywhat the saleman tells her, ever by what comanions tell her. She will try on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind 41 the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. 42 to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the look out for the unexpected 43 . Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily 44 an hour going from one rail to another ,often retracting her steps, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a laboring process, but apparently a(n) 45 one.

Each of the three passages is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices markedA,B,CandD. You should decide on the best choice mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWERSHEET with a single line through the center.Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage:Colds are very common. The symptoms（症状）of the common colds include a sore throat, runny nose, stuffed-upnose （塞鼻子）, and tiredness. Colds are caused by viruses（病毒），but scientists cannot explain the exact cause. Over dozens of years, scientists have tried to do different experiments to find the cure. Their findings are university the same——— there is no cure. Many people, however believe that they know the cause of and cures for the common cold. For example, they believe that it is possible to get a cold if we get chilled, if we get extra tired, or if we are too close to a person with a cold. In other words, if we want to prevent catching cold, we should stay warm and dry, we should avoid getting too tired, and we should not be in close contact with people who have colds.Meanwhile, there are probably hundreds of “cures” thoughout the world for the common cold. For example, the following suggestions are popularin quite a number of societies: (1)drink plenty of water, （2）get extra rest; （3）take a lot of vitamins（维生素）；（4）take aspirin（阿司匹林）；（5）keep warm，and soon.Each year people spend a lot of money on cold medicines---pills, liquids，lozenges（含片）. But these medicines do not cure colds，they can only relieve cold symptoms. In other words, they make us feel better. Although our human beings cannot cure colds, we have desired to improve our health. Perhaps one day we can find out the ways of curing the common colds. As an ordinary person，we do not know whether the day to find thecure is close to us or not.46.The passage is mainly about______A.looking for the cause of the common coldB.introducing some cures for the common coldC.some general knowledge about the common coldD.new medicines for curing The common cold47.According to the passage, people with colds feel_________A．Stuffy B.tired C.thirsty D.dizzy48.To prevent catching cold, you__________A.should go out on a rainy dayB.should not wash your hair in cold weatherC.should not keep away from a person who has a coldD.should not eat too much49.Which of the following is NOT a “cure” for the commocold？A．Take a lot of vitaminC B．Drink plenty of waterC．Getmorerest D.Put on as many clothes as possible50.Which of the following is TRUE about the common cold?A.There are no medicines that can cure colds.B.There are hundreds of symptoms of the common cold.C.Many people know what causes the commoncold.D.Scientists are close to finding a cure for colds.Questions51to55arebasedonthefollowingpassage:Being happy is just like being fit, with a new guidebook saying you need to practice the skills needed to get this emotion, a little every day, and remain happy even during the darkest time.“Road-testing Happiness: How to be Happier” by Sophie is a self-help book. “Being happy is something you need t o focus on, it doesn’t come as a matter of course.” Scott said. “you always need to make an effort, even if your each the pointof saying, you still need to keep focuing and working on the things that made you happy.” Scott also said the book was born out of her interest in the human’s mind as well as how difficult she found it to cope after her mother died of cancer two years ago.“I was always interested in psychology, but a lot of happiness books don’t tell the fact that you can be happy if your life isn’t going according to plan. The key is managing expectations .”She says, “In the book , I focused on what were the things most likely to make people happy, the ones with the most scientific research.”And before you start thinking that being happy is yet another task and then feel guilty when you don’t do it, Scott said the road to a positive outlook begins with very easy, small steps.“Women today feel overloaded(超负荷)：they’ve got to be thin，got to have a career，got to have a perfect relationship and the las t thing you need is to be thinking you’ve got to be happy all the time.” she said. But it is import ant to improve your quality of life. Stop rushing around and filling each moment of the day with things to do, and then sit down and think about your life a nd how yo u’re feeling. The things I got out of this were not things that take a lot of effort: feeling more grateful for the things I’ve got; modifying my reaction to situations and people. It’s about changing small habits, more tinkering around the edges instead of overhauling your life.”51.By saying“ being happy is just like being fit”, the author really means_______.A.people should practice how to remain happyB.people should spend more time to work outC.keepinghappy is the key to continue our lifeD.it’s difficult for people to keep happy all the time52.Why is Scott unsatisfied with the happiness book written by other writers？A.They are not based on psychological analysisB.There is a lack of scientific facts in these booksC.He wants to show his book is the greatest oneD.They haven’t offered readers completed solutions53.What should we do if we want to remain to be happy in Sott’s opinion?A.Force ourselves to burst into laughter everytimeB.Lower our expectations for ourselves sometimesC.Read more books about out psychological activitiesD.Think that happiness is a very important task to do54.In the last paragraph, Scott suggests that_____A.People should sit down and think of their childhoodB.people shouldn’t work so hard and be so overloadedC.people should chang their attitudes towards daily lifeD.people should take their quality of life for granted55.Which of the following can best reflect Scott’sopinion？A.Happiness lies in our contentmentB.Happiness originates from our successC.A smile always makes a young manughing can make you become fatQuestion 56 to 60 are based on the following passage:For a long time women with HIV（艾滋病病毒）were ignored because the focus was totally on HIV men. The gay community （同性恋社区）was very much in sight and vocal（呼声高的）and successfully got support for its cause. Now we are rapidly approaching the point where about one half of all AIDS cases in the world are women. But no one is taking this dangerously highlevel of infection(感染) among women seriously enough.Women usually have a worse time dealing with HIV than men do. In most cases, the woman is taking care of children as well as her sick partner. She may not even have time to take care of herself. The HIV-positive woman ends up shouldering the family as well as her own personal problems. Men, however, are usually the ones who have insurance, income and access to doctors. They get care. Women often do not.The discrimination(歧视) against HIV-positive women is simply terrible. They are likely tobe more inactive than men at home and workplace because too many people think that women are the cause of the disease. This is not at all true. They get it from men. They don’t just simply have HIV. Of course, there’s social discriminatation against all people with HIV. People with HIV,then,are scared that other people will know they are HIV-positive and that they will, therefore ,be discriminated against. For example, it’s very difficult for people with HIV to travel. They are not allowed to enter many countries, including theUnited States，China and Russia.The biggest difficulty an HIV-positive woman must face is isolation（孤独）. Once a woman knows she’s HIV-positive, she lives in fear that other people will find out. She’s so frightened that she will go into hiding, int o an isolated place by herself. It’s not at all uncommon to meet a woman who has been HIV-positive for nearly 10 years and has never told anyone, except her doctor. And the resulting stress is enough to make her sick. But HIV-positive women who get support, who can discuss their trouble and then do something about it—whether that means taking better care of themselves or going to the United Nationsto struggle for their rights—are likely to live longer. Active women don’t die out of shame in a corrner. This happens to too many HIV-positive women.56.Women with HIV were ignored for a long time because______.A.they didn’t become infected with HIV very oftenB.they didn’t often ask people to support their causeC.the public focused on men who were HIV positiveD.the public thought women could take care of themselves57.Why do women have more trouble with HIV than men do？A．Women are infected more often than menB.Women with AIDS cannot enter some countriesC.Women are not as vocal as men with HIV areD.Women do not take care of themselves as well58.Why are women with HIV discriminated against?A.They are not active at home and don’tworkB.Men don’t like women who are HIV positiveC.They are much weaker than men with HIVD.People think they are the cause of the disease59.The greatest difficulty that HIV-positive women face is______.ck of moneyB.pain of the diseaseC.unemploymentD.keeping to themselves60.What should a women with AIDS keep from doing？A.Getting support from others withAIDSB.Discussing their trouble with their doctors onlyC.Struggling for their rights as people with AIDSD.Making other people frightened of themSectionB Short Answer Questions (15points,3foreach)Directions: Answer each of the questions in less than 10words.How to Talk to Anyone, Anytime, AnywhereI never wanted to be any thing but abroadcaster, a talker. And for 40 years, I’ve been doing just that. To me, the ability to talk well is one of the greatest pleasures in life and can bring with it some of life’s greatest rewards.I’m not saying it’s always easy. But the more you work at it, the easier it will be. To get you started，here are my four basis rules for learning how to talk to anyone, anytime, anywhere: Attitude CountsAfter the failure in Miami, I made a commitment to keep talking even when it might not be comfortable to work at it.The right attitude———the will to talk———is critical to becoming a better talker.I think one reason I’ve had a certain amount of suc cess in broadcasting is that the audience can see I love what I’m doing. You can’t pretend that.Broaden Your HorizonsThe best conversationalists（对话者）are able to talk about issues and experiences beyond their own daily lives. You can expand your world through travel, but you can also do it without leaving your own backyard. Exchanging ideas with people who have backgrounds different from your own can help improve your conversational skills and your thinking.Keep It LightOne of my most important rules of conversation is never to stay too serious for too long. Similarly, a key quality I look for in a potential guest is a sense of humor. If the guest is not afraid ofmaking fun of himself/herself, it is most appealing to the audience.Be GenuineAnybody I’ve ever talked to for more than a few minutes knowns at least two things about me: I’m from Brooklyn, NewYork, and I’m Jewish(犹太人). That’s because I’m deeply proud of both. You should be as open and honest with your conversational partners as you’d wa nt them to be with you, willing to reveal what your background is and what your likes and dislikes are. That’s part of the give-and-take of conversation, part of getting to know people.Whether you‘re talking to one person or a million, the rules are the same: it’s all about making a connection. If you follow all these rules given in the passage, you can become a master of talk.61.The author regards the ability to_____________ as one of the greatest pleasures in life.62.The passage gives four basic rules for learning how to talk to__________________.63.The author thinks the right attitude,_______________, is critical to becoming a better talker.64.Exchanging ideas with people of different backgrounds will help improve our ____________and ourthinking.65.If we follow all these rules given in the passag, we will certainly become___________________.IV.Translation(20points,4foreach)Directions:In this part, there are five items which you are required to translate into Chinese, theses entences are all taken from the reading passages you have just read. You can refer back to the passages so as to identify their meanings in the context.66.In other words, if we want to prevent catching cold, we should stay warm and dry, we should avoid getting too tired, and we should not be in close contact with people who have colds.________________________________________________________________ _______________ 67.Being happy is just like being fit, with a new guidebook saying you need to practice the skills needed to get this emotion, a little every day, and remain happy even during the darkest time.________________________________________________________________ _______________68.I was always interested in psychology, but a lot of happiness books don’t tell the fact t hat you can be happy if your life isn’t going according to plan.

I have managed to convince myself that it weren’t for my job I would immediately head out for the open spaces and go back to nature in some sleepy village buried in the country. But how realistic is the dream?Cities can be frightening places. The majority of the population live in massive tower blocks, noisy, dirty and impersonal. The sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear when you live fifteen floors up. All you can see from your window is sky, or other blocks of flats. Children become aggressive and nervous—cooped up at home all day, with nowhere to play; their mothers feel isolated from the rest of the world. Strangely enough whereas in the past the inhabitants of one street all knew each other, nowadays people on the same floor in tower blocksdon’t even say hello to each other.Country life, on the other hand, differs from this kind of isolated existence in that a sense of community generally binds the inhabitants of small villages together. People have the advantage of knowing that there is always someone to turn to when they need help. But country life has disadvantages too. While it is true that you may be among friends in a village, it is also true that you are cut off from the existing and important events that take place in cities. There’s little possibility of going to a new show or the latest movie. Shopping becomes a major problem, and for anything slightly out of the ordinary you have to go on and expedition to the nearest large town. The city-dweller who leaves for the country is often oppressed by a sense of unbearable stillness and quiet.What, then, is the answer? The country has the advantage of peace and quiet, but suffers from the disadvantage of being cut off; the city breeds a feeling of isolation, and constant noise batters the senses. But one of its main advantages is that you are at the center of things, and that life doesn’t come to an end at half-past nine at night. Some people have found (or rather bought) a compromise between the two; they have expressed their preference for the “quiet life” by leaving the suburbs and moving to villages within commuting distance of large cities. They generally have about as much sensitivity as the plastic flowers they leave behind—they are polluted with strange ideas about change andimprovement which they force on to the unwilling original inhabitants of the villages.What then of my dreams of leaning on a cottage gate and murmuring “morning” to the locals as they pass by? I’m keen on the idea, but you see there’s my cat, Toby, I’m not at all sure that he would take to all that fresh air and exercise in the long grass, I mean, can you see him mixing with all those hearty males down the farm? No, he would rather have the electric imitation-coal fire any evening.41. We get the impression from the first paragraph that the authorA used to live in the countryB used to work in the cityC works in the cityD lives in the country42. In the author’s opinion, the following may cause city people to be unhappy EXCEPTA a strong sense of fearB lack of communicationC housing conditionsD a sense of isolation43. The passage implies that it is easy to buy the following things in the country EXCEPTA daily necessitiesB fresh fruitsC designer clothesD fresh vegetables44. According to the passage, which of the following adjectives best describes those people who work in large cities and live in villages?A OriginalB QuietC ArrogantD Insensitive45. Do you think the author will move to the country?A Yes, he will do soB No, he will not do soC It is difficult to tellD He is in two mindsTask 2The most frightening words in the English language are: "Our computer is down." I hear it more and more as I go about trying to do my business.One day, I was at the airport trying to buy a ticket to Washington and the man said, "I'm sorry, I can't sell you a ticket. Our computer is down." "What do you mean your computer is down?" "It just doesn't work well.""Then just write me out a ticket." "I can't write you out a ticket. The computer is the only one allowed to issue tickets for the plane."I looked down the counter, and all the people behind the counter were just standing there, drinking coffee and staring into a dark screen. "What do all you people do?" "We give the computer the information about your trip, and then it tells us whether you can fly with us or not.""So when it goes down, you go down with it." "That's very good, Sir. I haven't heard it put that way before." "How long will the computer be down?" "I have no idea. There is no way we can find out without asking the computer, and since it's down it won't answer us." "Don't you have a backup computer when the main computer goes down?" "I doubt it. Do you know what they cost?" "Let's forget the computer. What about your planes? They're still flying, aren't they?""I couldn't tell without asking the computer, and as I told you… " "I know it's down. Maybe I could just go to the gate and ask the pilot if he's flying to Washington," I suggested."I wouldn't know what gate to send you to." "I'll try them all," Isaid. "Even if the pilot was going to Washington, he couldn't take you if you didn't have a ticket.""Why don't I give you the money, you give me a receipt, and I'll show it to the pilot as proof that I have paid?""We wouldn't know what to charge you. The computer knows theair-fares that change every hour." "How about my credit card?""That's even worse. When our computer is down, it can't tell the credit card computer to charge the fare to your account.""Is there any other plane flying to Washington within the next few hours?""I wouldn't know," he said, pointing to the dark screen. "Only IT knows." "And at the moment IT knows nothing."By this time, there were quite a few people standing in line. The word soon spread and some people started to cry, whilst others kicked their luggage. A man in a red jacket came out."I'm sorry that our main computer went down. But as soon as it gets over its problem, it's going to buy everyone who missed their plane a free drink."46. The sentence "The computer is down." means（）A.The computer is put under the tableB.The computer fell from the tableC.The computer has stopped workingD. The computer is powered off47. Without a computer, the man who sold the tickets （）A.was unwilling (不愿意的) to sell ticketsB.had trouble selling ticketsC.had no changewas unable to write a ticket48. A backup computer is a machine that（）A. is ready to be used when the main one doesn't workB.is put after the main computerC.is only used by the manageris not used for selling tickets49. The author was going to Washington most probably （）A.to visit a friendB.to handle (处理) his office affairsC.to see his parentsD.to attend a music concert50. Through the story, we can learn that（）A. the people working at the airport were lazyB.the author had not enough money for the ticketC.the computer didn't allow people to sell ticketsputers bring us both convenience and troublesTask 3 (10A)With more than 20 million records sold, and several Grammy awards to show for it, Natalie Cole, the daughter of famous singer Nat King Cole, has made a name for herself in music.Along with her great success, however, Natalie Cole has lived in a world of drugs, crime, and failed marriages."I have been to hell and back," she says.In the book Angel on My Shoulder, Cole gives us an honest look at the difficult path she has taken, sharing, as well, her successful recovery. "Where I'm at now helps me to look back on my life and realize that I've really had quite a colorful and rich life," she says. "I really could have turned out to be a different person."As the second daughter of Maria and Nat King Cole, Natalie had as normal a childhood as was possible for a little girl whose father spent much of his time away from home.With hopes of one day becoming a doctor, she left her family in Los Angeles to attend a boarding school on the east coast. But when she was 14, she received some terrible news:her father was dying of lung cancer. Less than two months later, in 1965, Nat King Cole died at the age of 47.During her college years at Amherst, Cole began to experiment with drugs, though they didn't stop her from joining a music group. She played in small clubs on the east coast, using drugs more and more frequently. Without enough money to pay the bills and to support her drug habit, Cole turned to stealing and got into trouble with the law. Eventually, she became so badly affected by the drugs that she decided to quit on the spot.She says it was a miracle—the work of an angel on her shoulder. Her drug habit kicked, Natalie's career really began to take off. Only two years after being arrested and almost dying because of drugs, Cole's first record won two Grammies.In 1976, she married Marvin Yancy, her songwriter and producer. They soon had a son, Robbie, and Cole's life really seemed to be coming together."Marriage to Marvin, and Robbie, was like a breath of pure, fresh air,"she says. "I was with a man whom I loved and who loved me... we were just so close."Sadly, the marriage wouldn't last. After four years of being drug-free, Cole was once again using.In 1983, Cole checked herself into a recovery program, and was finally able to mend the wounds from her difficult past.After narrowly escaping death once again, Cole decided to record her father's greatest hits, including the phenomenal s uccess Unforgettable: With Love.Cole, who has fought and won many battles to find personal happiness, says "I'm so grateful for the way my life has turned out."51.You must be at your best at the interview because t （）A.most interviewers are difficult to pleaseB.the job market is very competitiveC.you are the special person for the interviewerD.it requires drive, energy and preparation52.

Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneFor generations, the Nganyi people of western Kenya have served as rainmakers, helping local communities decide when best to prepare their land and sow their seeds. By observing subtle changes in nature that would be unnoticeable to most people-in air currents, the flowering and shedding of leaves of certain trees, the behaviour of ants, bird songs, etc-they have been able to interpret weather patterns and provide valuable advice.What difficulty do local rainmakers face in making weather predictions?But the irregular weather patterns brought by climate change mean the rainmakers can no longer use those sighs to make their predictions. And they don’t have access to the technologies available to meteorologists <气象学家>."Climate change has come on so fast. People don’t know how to adapt or what to plant,〞says Obedi Osoce, a traditional weatherman. "Our traditional crops are disappearing because they cannot handle the new conditions. We need new strategies to handle climate change.〞Now a British-Canadian project is doing just that, linking the rainmakers with government meteorologists. The two groups get together each season and produce an agreed forecast to be spread using a variety of methods suited to communities where many cannot read or write-through ceremonies, public meetings and person-to person comma-kation.Both parties are pleased with the collaboration. " I think the two sciences equally valid. We are marrying our energies to help people better,〞says Mr. Onunga, a Nganyi community elder involved in the project.‘The results have been surprisingly good-the community agreed that the forecast was accurate,〞says Gilbert Ouma, a lecturer at the University of Nairobi. "Through this project we hope to learn what it is that we can share together to live today and to adapt to tomorrow,〞says Professor Laban Ogallo, leader of the Nganyi project.36.

Fortunately, she did’t have to choose between them. Maya Design, a Pittsburgh based creative consulting firm, allows parents to bring newborns into the office."If I’d had to leave my children after my maternity leave ended, I would never have goes back to work,〞says Gemperle, a designer and researcher, who brought her son Milo into the office after he was born.She’s not the only parent taking advantage of the benefit. Senior analyst Jon West brings his 10-mouth-old son, Owen, to the several times a month. In fact, whenWest considered using only part of his paternity leave, his co-workers urged him to take all six weeks."I had pressure to take that leave,〞recalls West, "People told me, it’s an important part of your life and you need to experience it.〞"No matter how quiet the baby is, it’s an obvious distraction <分心的事>,〞says Tory Johnson, the chief executive of Women for Hire, a New York City-based recruiting film.No one has complained yet. Even if somebody did, it wouldn’t matter to Mickey McManus, Maya’s CEO and president, who argues that the policy builds loyalty and helps parents shift back into work mode.As part of its balancing act, Maya shares up to 20% of quarterly profits with its employees.

A Company Taking Care of Young ParentsPassage ThreeHarry Potter fans will instantly recognize the snowy owl as Harry’s famous companies, Hedwig, but these beautiful owls are easily recognizable not for their magical associations, but for their large size and striking while feathers. Snowy owlsare, in fact, the only white owl, and they are a highly sought after species for many birdwatchers to add to their life lists.Foods: Small mammals, birds, fish.Habitat and Migration: Snowy owls are found in far northern latitudes includingtundra, a vast treeless frozen region in the Arctic. Their breeding grounds <繁殖地>are in the Arctic tundra, and they migrate south throughout Canada during the winter. In exceptionally server winters or when food supplies are searce, these owls can appear much further south than their normal range. While principally a North American bird, they can also migrate to the northern areas of Europe an Asia.Behaviour: Snowy owls, like all owls, are powerful animal bunters that are active mostly at night but can bunt and feed during the day, especially when food supplies are low. These owls will rest on the ground or on rocks, stumps and other low favorable points. Males can be fierce when defending the nest, and both genders willalso perform an "injured bird〞act to tempt animal invaders to go away from thenest.Reproduction: Snowy owls may incubate <孵卵> 3-10 eggs for 30-34 days, orthe incubation may be done primarily by the freak. The baby owls remain in the nest for 14-21 days and will attempt their first flight when they are 42-58 days old.

They may stop producing eggsB. They will reduce their flightsC. They will be less active at nightD. They will only hunt during he day Passage FourWe lost two superstars in 1977. Neither man’s admirers have been able to understand the success of the other one. And this tells us something of the difference between the generations that the two singers represent.There were similarities between Bing Crosby and Elvis Presley. Both reached fame while young and became very rich. Although neither one had any musical education, both developed their own musical styles, which were first criticized by the critics and later studied as new forms in the art of popular song. Both men had successful movie careers despite a total lack of acting ability.Both were creations of the microphone, which made it possible for singers with weak voices to be heard beyond the third now. With Bing the microphone was usually hidden; but Elvis brought it to the stage.The difference between the two men reflects the changing values in American life Crosby’s music was soothing< 令人舒畅的> , Presley’s was disturbing. Crosby was singing to wartime America. His audiences had all the disturbance they could handle in their private lives, they did not want to buy more at the record shop and the movie theater.Crosby’s admires always said how "relaxed〞and "natural〞he was. When Presley began his career, the whole country had become relaxed and easygoing. Its young people, who had no memory of trouble times, found it boring. They were hungry for excitement. They welcomed Elvis, who was certainly not the kind of young man their parents would admire. Presley was load and vulgar< 粗俗的> ——and be was bringing something new and exciting.It is probably too simple to explain each man in terms of changes in the economic and political situation. Something in the culture was also changing.48、Which of the following could be inferred about Crosby and Presley?A. They died in the same year.B. They became popular in 1977C. They influenced each other in musicD. They represented the postwar generation49、In which aspect the singers are similar to each other?A. Their songs were widely used in moviesB. They became famous in late year of their livesC. Their musical styles are recognized by the criticsD. Neither of them received any formal musical education50、What did Crosby’s audiences get from his music?A. ExcitementB. DisturbanceC. Ease and comfortD. Passion and thrill51、What is most Presley to be discussed if the passage continues?A. The political situation that the two singers facedB. The cultural changes that the two singers experiencedC. The economic influence on the music of the two singersD. The message that the two singers expressed in their musicPassage FiveThere are millions of left-handed people in the world. A number of them got together in 1975 to form an association called Left-handers International. The purpose of the organization is to fight discrimination <particularly to jobs> and to inform thepublic. They want everybody to understand the left-handers are neither "strange〞nor sick nor dangerous.Many studies have been made recently about hand preference in humans. They have brought interesting results. It has been found, for instance, that many more men than women are left-handed; that all children use both hands about equally until they are three years old; and that hand preference is not clearly marked until age six. Above that age, most people not only favour one particular hand but also have a favourite eye, a favourite ear and foot.We know that the left side of the body is controlled by the right side of the brain, which seems that this particular half is the seat of emotions, imagination, and of the sense of space. And, indeed, lefties in seem to be more creative than the right-handers; they also seem to be more athletic and to do better in some professions which ---like sports----require a good sense of space. In a large school of architecture , it was found in 1977 that 29% of the professes and 23% of the graduating students were left-handed---while lefties represent less than 10% of the general population.Finally, left-handers may be more stubborn and impulsive< 冲动的> thanright-handers. And they are more likely to suffer from problems such as stuttering< 口吃> and a difficulty in reading called dyslexia. The problems are more serious in left-handed persons who have been forced to favour their right hand. Doctors insist that one should never try to change a child’s hand preference.52、What does Left-handers International aim to do for left-handers?A. To create new jobsB. To promote equalityC. To show discriminationD. To study hand preference53、According to recent studies, when is hand preference formed?A. Before birthB. At birthC. At age threeD. At age six54、Compared with right-handers, left-handers______A. are less creativeB. are more easygoingC. have a better sense of spaceD. do better in most professions55、Left-handers are advised to stick to their hand preference because_____A. it is fun and comfortable to be left-handersB. the left hand is just as good as the right handC. it is difficult for them to switch to the right handD. changing hand preference may cause serious problemsV.

Therefore〔不是一连词,是一副词,表达因果.〕；moreover〔同样不是一连词,而且、此外〕；furthermore〔同样不是一连词,此外、而且〕19、一网解析：出题人考察情态动词语意的区别.get it go again是一势在必行的动作,否则,tomorrow会迟到.所以这一动作是"必须〞的,答案是D.20、一网解析：他对"how old〞是非常的_______,利用我们娴熟的中文,空格处填入的词语就明明白白了：敏感.答案是A.第三部分：完形填空21、一网解析：sports不但能够强身健体,而且还能够______lifeskills.利用我们娴熟的中文,空格处填入的词语就明明白白清清楚楚了：培养、养成.与之匹配的选项是B,develop"发展、养成〞.Stimulate"刺激、鼓舞〞；motivate"刺激,激励〞；create"创造、创作〔精神食物〕〞. 看出来没有,A与C选项的意思几乎一模一样的,当然排除.22、一网解析：learning to______with loss anddisappointment.学会______得与失.利用我们娴熟的中文,空格处填入：处理〔与with一起构成〕.答案是A,deal.Struggle with与…..做斗争；disagree with不同意.23、一网解析：利用我们做题的经验,我们应该能够很快明白出题人的出题意图：specifically"特别地、专门地〞,especially"特别、尤其〞的区别.Especially是"与众不同地〞,specially表达目的之类.例如：foodsare very cheap today , especially eggs..eggs与众不同的cheap；special 常用的是：商场东西降价时,会被贴上special的标签；如：I made a special food for you〔为你而special,目的吧〕. aspecial hospital 专门医院specialist 就是专家的意思.题干句子大意是这些好处是"与众不同的〞.答案是C.24、一网解析：confidence〔信心〕and self-esteem〔自尊〕______from a ……利用一点点语法知识空格处填入的是一不与物动词.利用我们娴熟的中文,空格处填入的词语应该是"增强、提高〞.排除D选项.其余三个选项都有"提高之意〞.它们的区别就是出题人的出题意图.Arise是一不与物动词,raise是一与物动词,lift是把具体的东西"升高〞,例如电梯之类的"提高〞.所以答案是A.25、一网解析：sports帮助孩子的healthy这是一乡村老太太都明明白白的概念,普通得不能再普通了.答案是D,regular.26、一网解析：利用我们娴熟的中文,和宝贵的常识储备,空格处填入"保持〞.答案是C.Rretain保留；reserve储备；prevent预防.27、一网解析：see….as….把…..看作…...题外话：看着孩子矫健的身躯驰骋在运动场上,那个美滋滋的劲儿甭提多受用了.此处用一比喻句把body比作了驰骋运动场的tool.的确,身体就是博取人生的一tool,病怏怏的body,那么你的tool就需要sports了.答案是B.28、一网解析：好身体就能够less 遭遇"feeling of low self-worth〞的可能性.答案是A,likely.其余选项不符合题意.29、一网解析：参加sports,其实就是一"in〞的过程.Pparticipate in本身就是一固定搭配"参加〞.30、一网解析：利用我们娴熟的中文,空格处填入"实现〞〔实现goal目标〕.选项中之意D选项符合题意.答案是D.31、一网解析：利用我们娴熟的中文,空格处填入"能够〞.能够建立信心.Bbe able to do sth"是指有能力去做某事〞.答案是A.Able与Capable的区别：词义上：able尤其指某一时之"能力〞；capable指的是一持久性的能力,另外尤其指某一专门的能力.搭配：able后面接todo ,而capable接of介词.例如：she is an able teacher.<能干,但是不知道是不是专业方面>.she is an capableteacher.<专业胜任>.32、一网解析：winning不仅仅是唯一的confidence builder,一个_____pass or assistant…..这里退一步来说,即使这样一个_____的与格或助手,所以利用我们娴熟的中文,空格处填入的就是"出色的〞.答案是C.33、一网解析：sports能够有抗抑郁的效果.下面就举例说明了,说明这是已经被证明了的.答案是D,"显示出〞.34、一网解析：承上启下,sports抗抑郁,那么孩子就不抑郁了,对生活充满了憧憬,与之匹配的选项是B,outlook"向外看→外面的世界很精彩→展望〞.35、一网解析：反过来improved self—esteem"促进〞了后面的"运动与学业表现〞.答案是C.第三部分：阅读理解第一篇36、一网解析：带着题干关键词：traditional rainmakers,一目一行定位答案X围：第一段第一个破折号后面.原文中只提与了C选项.答案是C.37、一网解析：一目一行定位答案X围：第二段最后.他们没有只有气象学家才能够available的technology.与之匹配的选项是B.答案是B.38、一网解析：带着题干关键词,Britain—Canadian,一目一行定位答案X围：第五段的第一句话中pleased〔高兴的〕.所以答案是A.39、一网解析：请你充分利用前面题目提供的信息来完成此类题目.36小题说传统的造雨的人的落后,只是简单地凭大自然的东西去判断是否下雨；后面还说没有气象学家的技术.38小题提与了合作.所以重点是"合作〞.答案是D.第二篇40、一网解析：Maya<玛雅>,此词语应该您至少见过,玛雅文明.带着题干关键词Maya,一目一行定位答案X围：第一段最后.原文中就出现了C选项中的consulting"咨询〞的关键词.答案是C.41、一网解析：带着题干关键词tory,一目一行定位答案X围：第五段.千万千万注意我们的阅读是一目一行的,比如此题目的阅读跨度就比较大了,到了第五段.很明显答案是A.42、一网解析：带着题干关键词,maya的policy,或者Mickey,一目一行定位答案X围：第六段.定位句是：builds loyalty和helpparents shift back into work mode.与之匹配的选项是B.答案是B.43、一网解析：充分利用前面题目提供的信息,41小题说对家庭提供"咨询服务〞；42小题说引导父母转换工作方式.再结合第一段的信息〔产假后,对孩子不放心〕,于是就此结束了后面的事情.答案是D.44、一网解析：哈利波特,比较熟悉吧.否则原文中猎取答案信息.第一段第一句话的snowy owl,和第二句话的white feathers,于是就能够确定答案是C.第三篇45、一网解析：第三段,一目一行.最后一句话.B选项似乎可以,但是第二句话就告诉了我们,它们也是往南迁移的,说明它们也不是固定生活在一个地方的,排除；它们的繁殖地是Arctic tundra,所以也可排除；同样D选项排除.答案是A.此题目容易错误选择B选项.46、一网解析：保护自己的方法是______.带着题干大意,一目一行定位答案X围：第四段最后.答案是B.47、一网解析：四个选项都有可能.原文中一目一行猎取答案信息.第四段最后一句话：除非食物短缺,否则它们是要繁殖后代,产蛋.与之匹配的选项是A.48、一网解析：带着题干关键词：后面的名字Grosby、presley,一目一行定位答案X围：第一段第一句话.这两个家伙都在1977年lost了.于是这一句话就给了我们选项A的信息.答案是A.B 选项与第一句话是互相矛盾的,排除；C选项与第二句话矛盾,D选项中最关键的词语postwar没有体现出来,即使最大努力的去infer,也是没有这方面的信息的. 第四篇49、一网解析：两个家伙的相似处.带着题干关键词,一目一行定位答案X围：第二段第三句话.答案是D.没有接受一点点music education,难得怪,人们是如此惊呼.50、一网解析：此题目我们可以充分利用我们宝贵的常识储备,从一个歌手,且是那么令人怀念的歌手,听到的绝对是"积极的〞,所以选择一褒义词.Disturbance是不可能的,选项B排除；thrill"太夸X了,夸X得几乎是一贬义词了〞,所以也可以不考虑.剩下两个选项,我们原文中猎取答案信息.第四段的第二句话：became relaxed and easygoing.所以与之匹配的选项是C.51、一网解析：此类题目比较少见,请你咨询阅读最后一自然段的最后一句话.最后一句话讲述了"文化also改变〞,所以接下来当然是继续"文化改变〞.答案是B. 第五篇52、一网解析：对于这个lefthanders international〔我们权且叫"左撇子国际〞吧,应该是一国际性的组织吧〕,他们成立"左撇子国际〞的目的,应该是不那么简单的.据此与之匹配的选项是B.认证答案：带着题干关键词"左撇子国际〞,一目一行定位答案X围：第一段最后一句话：他们不是另类〔strange〕,他们不是sick,与右撇子是一模一样的.所以他们昭示的"与右撇子平等〞equality,所以答案是B.53、一网解析：可以充分利用我们宝贵常识储备,handpreference"手的喜好〞,即左撇子与右撇子.是不可能在A与B就有了的,三岁时也是不可能的.答案是D.没有必要去认证答案了吧.54、一网解析：一目一行定位答案X围：第三段第二句话.答案是C.。

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1I’m a Chinese student studying in Canada. I have been a boarder with the Carsons for more than a year and a half.The Carsons live in their own house, which has four bedrooms including the one in the basement(底层) which I live in. Judy does all the work in the house and Andrew is responsible for the work in the garden. When they go out in the evening, they often ask me to look after their children.Judy’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Morris, lived in another city. Judy was their only child and naturally they doted on(宠爱) Judy’s children. They often sent the children presents.Last April Mr. Morris died. Now that Mrs. Morris was quite alone, I expected that Judy would want her to come and live with them. One day, Margaret told me grandma was coming to live with them and her daddy and mummy woul d want my room back. The news didn’t surprise me and the next day I went to Judy and asked her about it. I said I couldn’t think of living in their basement room any longer if it was needed for Mrs. Morris. Judy seemed surprised at first. Then she told me there was no need for me to move, for they hadn’t yet come to any decision about her mother coming to live with them. “Naturally I’m worried about my mother. She has been in poor health.” She smiled sadly and added. “To be honest, Andrew and my mother have never got on well. We’ll wait a bit and see what happens. Perhaps Mother will be all right living herself, or perhaps they will both change their minds.”That was six months ago. During this time I’ve heard that Mrs. Morris has had two illnesses and that her health has got worse. A nursing home was mentioned once but Mrs. Morris refused to go there. So up to now she’s still living alone and I’m still living in the basement room.61. What is the relationship between the speaker and the Carsons?A. He is a brother of Andrew Carson.B. He is a close friend of the Carsons.C. He is a student of Judy Carson.D. He is a student who pays to live and have meals at the Carsons’ house.62. Why did the speaker expect Mrs. Morris to come to live with her daughter?A. Because Mr. Morris was dead.B. Because Mrs. Morris suffered from illness.C. Because Mrs. Morris lived all by herself.D. Because of all the reasons mentioned in A, B and C.63. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Mrs. Morris was coming to live with the Carsons, so they asked the speaker to move.B. Judy had no brothers or sisters to look after her mother.C. Mrs. Morris loved her grandchildren very much.D. The Carsons once suggested that Mrs. Morris go to live in a nursing home.64. Why didn’t Mrs. Morris come to live with her daughter’s family?A. Because the speaker lived in the basement room and there was no other room for her tolive in.B. Because she did not have a good relationship with her son in law.C. Because she was in rather poor health and could not come.D. Because she did not want to leave her own house.65. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. My LandladyB. The BoarderC. Family Relationships in CanadaD. Nursing Homes and the AgedPassage 2Overhead bridges are found in many parts of Beijing, especially in places where traffic is very heavy and crossing the road is dangerous.The purpose of these bridges is to enable pedestrians to cross roads safely. Overhead bridges are used in very much the same way as a zebra crossing. They are more efficient although lessconvenient because people have to climb up a long flight of steps. This is inconvenient especially to older people. When pedestrians use an overhead bridge, they do not hold up traffic. However, when they cross a busy road using a zebra crossing, traffic is held up. This is why the government has built many overhead bridges to help pedestrians and to keep traffic moving at the same time.The government of Beijing has spent a large amount of money on building these bridges. For their own safety, pedestrians should be encouraged to use them instead of risking their lives by dashing across the road. Old people, however, may find it a little difficult climbing up and down the steps, but it is still much safer than walking across the road with all the danger of moving traffic.Overhead bridges serve a very useful purpose. Pedestrians, both old and young, should make it a habit to use them. This will prevent unnecessary accidents and loss of life.66. What is the advantage of overhead bridges mentioned in this passage?A. Taller trucks can pass under them.B. Pedestrians can climb up and have a view of the city.C. They are safer for pedestrians and can keep traffic moving at the same time.D. They are easier and more convenient for the pedestrians.67. Why were overhead bridges built in Beijing?A. Because they prevent traffic from being held up.B. Because they provide an easy way for the drivers to cross the road.C. Because they save money for the government.D. Because they save time for the pedestrians.68. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Overhead bridges are found in every part of Beijing.B. Overhead bridges are only found in the centre of Beijing.C. Overhead bridges are found in many parts of big cities in China.D. Overhead bridges are found in places where traffic is heavy.69. The underlined words “a zebra crossing” probably mean ______.A. a safe place across a road for pedestrians to walk across the roadB. a wild animal from Africa that looks like a horse with broad dark brown and white stripes on its bodyC. a safe place across a road for zebras to walk across the roadD. a safe place across a road for older people to rest in70. What is the writer’s attitude towards overhead bridges?A. It is inconvenient to older people to walk across the road.B. It is much safer for pedestrians though climbing up and down the steps may be a littledifficult.C. An overhead bridge is more beautiful than a zebra crossing.D. To build overhead bridges is the business of the government.Passage 3There was a time when，if a lady got into a crowded bus or train，a gentleman would immediately stand up and offer his seat. But now，things are different. Today a gentleman will probably look out of the window or if he feels a bit shy，hide behind his newspaper. Either way，the lady will have to stand until someone else gets off.You can’t entirely blame men for this change in manners，though. Gone are the days when women could be referred to as weakers without causing trouble. A whole generation of women has grown up demanding equality with men，not just equality in jobs or education，but in social life. Hold a door open for some women and you are likely to get an angry lecture on treating women as inferiors(能力低下的人) unable to open doors for themselves. Take a girl out for meal and she’ll probably insist on paying her share of the bill. On second thoughts，that is perhaps not such a bad idea.It’s no wonder，then, that men have given up some ways of politeness and consideration which they used to show towards women. On the other hand，the man’s active politeness is perhaps slowly being replaced by true consideration for the needs and feelings of women，so that men can see women as equal human beings，rather than as weakers or something that can be used to please men.71. Today, when a lady gets on a crowded bus or train, a gentleman would probably______ .A. stand up and offer her his seatB. read his newspaperC. look out of the windowD. not stand up and offer her his seat72. What men do towards women on a crowded bus or train today is______ .A. really badB. strange enoughC. not entirely wrongD. entirely wrong73. The new generation of women wants to be______ .A. treated not as the weaker sexB. treated as the weaker sexC. cared for on buses and trainsD. better treated than before74. According to the passage, which of the following is Not correct?A. Some women may get angry if you open the door for them.B. Girls don’t want you to pay for meal at all.C. Some women may criticize you if you show too much politeness to them.D. A girl may be unhappy if you insist on paying her share of the bill.75. From this passage, we know that______ .A. women need true consideration of their needs and feelingsB. men have given up some politeness they used to show to womenC. women often get angry if you’re polite to themD. women should stand in the bus or trainPassage 4Family” is of course an elastic word. But when British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of “family” in its narrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family—hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life.For both the man and the woman, marriage means leaving one’s parents and starting one’s own life. The man’s first duty will then be to his wife, and the wife’s to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financial support, and she for the running of the new home. Their ch ildren will be their common responsibility and theirs alone. Neither the wife’s parents nor the husband’s, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, have any right to interfere with them—they are their own masters.Readers of novels like Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times marriage among wealthy families was arranged by the girl’s parents, that is, it was the parents’ duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillfulencouragement to lead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her. Until that time, the girl was protected and maintained in the parents’ home, and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry(嫁妆). It is very different today. Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage. This has had two results: a girl chooses her own husband, and she gets no dowry.76. What does th e author mean by “‘Family’ is of course an elastic word”?A. Different families have different ways of life.B. Different definitions could be given to the word.C. Different nations have different families.D. Different times produce different families.77. For an English family, the husband’s duty is______ .A. supporting the family while the wife is financialB. defending the family while the wife is running the homeC. financial while the wife is running the homeD. independent while the wife is dependent78. Everything is decided in a family______ .A. by the coupleB. with the help of their parentsC. by brothers and sistersD. with the help of aunts and uncles79. What is TRUE concerning the book Pride and Prejudice?A. It is the best book on marriage.B. It is a handbook of marriage.C. It gives quite some ideas of English social life in the past.D. It provides a lot of information of former time wealthy families.80. With regard to marriage in Britain, present day girls differ from former time girls in______ .A. the right to marryB. more parental supportC. choosing husbandsD. social positionPart Ⅳ Translation (1.5×10 points)Directions：There are 10 sentences in this section.

It is like bringing the world to your mailbox.Fiona, a member of ,says,''I love swapping postcards!Although it seems quite time-consuming to pick one ,write it and post it ,it is the amusement of receiving a flash of sunshine or humor that makes it worthwhile.''51.The underlined word ''Swapping''in Paragraph 1 means ____ .A.exchangingB.designingC.collectingD.writing52.The first paragraph tells us that ____ .A.postcards are simple and beautifulB.Swapping postcards is a hobby for all peopleC.Swapping postcards can keep pen friends in contactD.Those who swap postcards have lost interest in the real word53.Which of the following is true of ?A.Its members should pay for registrationB.It was created for a particular purposeC.Its members can share different hobbiesD.It was started by a group of citizens54.When will your name be added to the list of people to receive postcards on ?A.After one confirms the reception of your postcard.B.After you e-mail your first postcard.C.After you register on the websiteD.After one receives your address55.In Fiona's eyes,swapping postcards is ____ .A.time-savingbor-savingC.worthwhileD.humorousPassage 3Listening is an extremely complex communicative activity. In order to have a better understanding, to anticipate what is coming is very important.An effective listener should continuously develop more or less specific readiness for what will come next. If a listener hears what he has expected, it will be much easier for him to receive the information.But if what he hears is totally out of his expectation,he will fail to get the message.The skill to anticipate what is coming in listening comprehension depends largely on the listener's familiarity with the theme（主题）of the message.It also depends on the listener's knowledge of the speaker as well as the situation.Obviously, when we listen to something that we already have some information about, it is generally much easier for us to take in the new information .Therefore,pre-listening preparation seems to play an important role in increasing our comprehension .Before actual listening ,we could perhaps first give some thought to the topic ,discuss it with others ,and then read some related material and do some vocabulary work. If we could make ourselves fully prepared for the coming talks or lectures,we are more likely to become effective listeners.Of course,readiness beforehand is not at all enough .Active thinking must take place all the way through .In fact ,we should always try to think ahead of the speaker.56.The passage is most possible taken from ____ .A.a novelB.a textbookC.a news reportD.a fashion magazine57.What is the first paragraph mainly about?A.How to think actively in listening comprehension.B.How to develop specific readiness before listening.C.The skills in anticipating in listening comprehension.D.The importance of anticipating in listening comprehension.58.The skill to anticipate in listening comprehension depends largely on ____ .A.the listener's emotionB.the difficulty of the messageC.the listener's communicative skillsD.The listener's familiarity with the topic59.In order to anticipate ,the first thing to do before actual listening may be ____ .A.do some vocabulary workB.think about the topicC.read some related materialD.discuss the topic with others60.What is the author's attitude towards anticipating in listening comprehension?A.Neutral.B.Positive.C.Negative.D.Critical.Passage 4When men get stick，they act like babies ，say women . But maybe the fairer sex should learn something useful from these guys ----it could save their lives，say researchers at the University of Michigan.When women have a heart attack ,they’re more likely to put off seeking help the men ,and after an attack,they’re less likely to take steps to improve their health . What’s the reason for the different responses? The results of a survey suggest that women are too tough; they think heart problem are simply not a big deal . When Steven Erickson and his colleagues asked 348 men and 142 women who had been admitted to the hospital for a heart attack about their symptoms and medication (用药情况)，they found that even though the women had more symptoms and were taking more medicine they rated their disease as being no more severe than the men did .For more on women and heart disease ,go to .61.The underlined expression "the fairer sex" in Paragraph 1 refers to ____ .A. menB. babiesC. womenD.researchers62.

It can 21onboth our physical and mental health and can lead to other health 22 Insomnia can be traced to many different reasons,but what is 23to ninny sufferers is their inability to relax fully and "switch the mind24Constantthoughts, 25 around and around in the mind, moving from one 26 tothe next, prevent stillness and peace and 27 a sufferer extremely tired.

People here change jobs and move house quiteoften. As a m result, they have a lot of relationships that often last only mashort time, and they need to get to know people quickly. So it´s normal to havefriendly conversations with people that they have just met, and you can talk aboutthings that other cultures would regard as personal. On the other hand, there are more crowded and less mobile societies wherelong-termrelationships are more important. A Malaysian or Mexican business person, for example,willwant to get to know you very well before he or she feels happy to startbusiness. But when you do get to know each other, the relationship becomes muchdeeper than it would in a mobile society. To Americans, both Europeans and Asians seem cool and formal atfirst. On the other hand, as a passenger from a less mobile society puts it,it´s no fun spending several hours next to a stranger who wants to tell you allabout his or her life and asks you all sorts of questions that you don´t want to answer. Cross-cultural differences aren´t just a problem for travelers,but also for people in daily life. Some societies have " universalist´´cultures. These societies strongly respect rules, and they treat every personand situation in basically the same way. "Particularist" ( 强调特性的)societies also have rules, but they are less important than thesociety´s unwritten ideas about what is right or wrong for a particularsituation or a particular person. So the normal rules are changed to fit theneeds of the situation or the importance of the person. {TS} What can be learned fromParagraph 1?（单选题）A. People from a mobile society disliketalking about personal affairs.B. Short-term relationships are common ina mobile society.C. Americans tend to make more friendsthan people from other cultures.D. It is difficult for Americans andAustralians tocommunicate with strangers.试题答案：B9、第25题的答案是( )（单选题）A. simpleB. beneficialC. interestingD. obvious试题答案：D10、 What is the main idea of this passage?（单选题）A. Polite behaviour varies with differentcultures.B. Less mobile societies have fewer rules.C. People from mobile societies are morepolite.D.

Conversation in our house is better now，not because I'm talking more．I’m just listening better and becoming less and less surprised that I like what I hear． {TS}According to the passage，the author is most likely a__________ ．（单选题）A. driverB. teacherC. doctorD.

Here are some handy tips to make yourhouse more energy-efficient. Lower the heat If your home has adjustable central heating，lowering the room temperature even slightly can make a difference． You may not feel it，but your wallet will． It is even more advisable to control temperatures at different times of the day. Hang clothes out to dry If the weather allows it，head outside and dry your laundry on a clothesline. The sunlight will help eliminate bacteria and dust． While clothes dryers get the job done faster，they also use up energy．By hanging your clothes out you’ll be cutting greenhouse gases by about three kilograms per load． Take advantage of natural light Installing large windows on the northern side of your house can help you make use of sunlight’s natural warmth. To stay cool indoors on hot summer days，install blinds(百叶窗) to block the heavy sun．Put your desk near the window，then you don’t need a lamp in the daytime. Wrap(裹)your pipes Be sure your hot—water pipes are properly wrapped．In an average home，heating water accounts for more than one—quarter of the energy bill．Why let warmth go to waste before it reaches you? Choose the right size for appliances(家用电器) When the time comes to replace appliances，select those that are both energy—efficient and of the appropriate size for your needs．Don’t buy bigger ones just because you can． {TS}What benefit may using less energy at home bring about?（单选题）A. Having a healthier living environment．B. Improving your work efficiency．C. Keeping old habits unchanged．D. Enlarging your living space．试题答案：A29、第27题的答案是( )（单选题）A. ConstructionB. PollutionC. FarmingD.
