Each passage is followed by some questions or incomplete statements. 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 1“If you want to see a thing wel l, reach out (伸出手) and touch it!”That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth (光滑) and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too.All children soon learn what “Don’t touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things as we might buy: food, clothes. To see something well, we have to touch it. There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to (习惯于) them!Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, “Do touch!” There you can feel everything on show. If we want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see!61. By touching things,________ .A. you will have a strange feelingB. you will learn how to reach out your handC. you can know them betterD. you can tell what colors they are62. When people buy things in shops, they often________ .A. buy them firstB. keep their right hands on themC. ask about themD. feel and touch them63. Why does it say “At first, it is not easy to feel these things”? Because________ .A. the things are used by people, tooB. people feel the things too oftenC. people know how to use the thingsD. the things are easy to feel64. Which of the following is true?A. Touching is more important than seeing.B. Our feet, fingers, hands and skin can help us buy food.C. People have to learn to see by feeling as they grow up.D. Visitors can feel the things on show in some museums.65. Which of the following can be the best title of the story?A. Touching by Feeling.B. To See or to Feel?C. To See Better — Touch.D. Ways of Feeling.Passage 2The old V olkswagen Beetle —“The Bug” — is making a comeback. People who own them are planning to keep them forever. People who don’t own them are paying high prices when they can find one for sale. It’s more remarkable when you realize that VW doesn’t even make them anymore!A spokesman for V olkswagen of America says there were about five million “Bugs” on American roads in 1977.That was the last year they were shipped to America. VW estimates that about four million of them are still running and running and running.Used car dealers say they can’t keep “Bugs” on their lots these days. They feel it’s because these cars have a history of reliable, inexpensive transportation. The cars average about 30 miles per gallon of gas.But all hasn’t been smooth going for the “Bugs”. The heating system is poor. And since it travels very close to the ground, larger cars tend to splash it with winter’s snow and mud. Some in the safety field consider the Beetle as defenseless against heavier cars. But the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has nothing that shows any problem with them at all.66. American people like to have a “Bug”,________.A. because it is no more in productionB. because it is reliable and energy savingC. because it is remarkable and easy to driveD. because it is safe67. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. “Bugs” are more popular than other cars in America.B. “Bugs” are now produced in small quantity.C. American feel proud if they can own a “Bug”.D. No “Bugs” h ave been shipped to America since 1977.68. In the last sentence of the second paragraph, the word “them” refers to________ .A. a car by the name of V olkswagen BeetleB. heavier cars imported from other countriesC. people in the safety fieldD. people from National Highway Traffic Administration69. What is the problem with a “Bug”?A. It does not go smoothly.B. It is not comfortable in winter.C. It splashes mud and water.D. It travels too slowly.70. What can be concluded according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration?A. They are going to investigate into “Bugs” problem.B. Some of the “Bugs” are not usable any more.C. It is defenseless when it is hit by a heavy car.D. The “Bugs” is good for use.Passage 3There are many ways to learn about people of other lands. One way is to study the clothing other people wear. For thousands of years, people in different part of the world have worn very different types of clothing. There are four big reasons for this.One reason might be religion. In many Moslem countries, women must wear veils to hide their faces. The veils must be worn in public. Veils are part of the Moslem religion. The second reason is that different materials are used in different countries. For instance, in France the materials used in clothing may be cotton, silk, wool, or many other man made materials. Most people in China wear cotton.The ways clothes are made are also very different. This is another reason why people dress differently. Western countries rely on machines to make most of their clothing. Someone living inIndia can use only hand power to make the clothing he needs.World wide differences in customs also lead to differences in clothing. A Mexican farmer wears a straw hat with a brim up. In China, a farmer wears a straw hat with a brim down. Both hats are used to protect the farmers from the sun. Some of these customs have come down through thousands of years.71. If you want to learn about the differences about people in the world, you________.A. should know the ways to study other landsB. should know the four big reasons given in the passageC. may study the different types of clothing people wearD. may be surprised by the ways people wear hats72. In many Moslem countries, women have to ________ in public.A. wear more clothes than menB. cover their faces with veilsC. protect their faces from being hurtD. wear religious clothing73. Which of the following is the reason for the differences in clothing?A. Materials used for clothes differ from country to country.B. Cotton is the common material for clothing.C. Man made materials are invented to make clothes.D. Most people like silk clothes.74. The third reason for difference in clothing is________ .A. different materialsB. different ways of making clothesC. different styles of dressingD. different religions75. The two examples of wearing hats are given in the last paragraph to show________ .A. the effect of customs on dressing styleB. the function of wearing straw hatC. the correct way of wearing straw hatD. the long history of some customsPassage 4Pressure Cooker (高压锅) SafetyWhen you are cooking with a pressure cooker, you should learn a few common sense (常识) rules:1. Never leave the cooker unwatched when it is in use.2. Add sufficient liquid but never past the recommended fill point. Overfilling the cooker may block the vent pipe (排气孔) and cause the cooker to explode.3. Set the cooking time. Too much time may overcook the food or too much pressure may build up in the cooker.

Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.What do you use to get around town? A car? A bike? Your feet? Perhaps you should try a Segway!The Segway is perfect for short journey. It´s an electric vehicle that consists of a platform between two wheels,with a pole that connects the platform to the handlebars. To ride it,you step up onto the platform,and control the Segway by moving your body. Lean forwards to go faster,and backwards to slow down.On older models, direction is controlled by a twist grip(扭转把手)on the left handlebar. This varies the speeds between the two motors, a decrease in the speed of the left wheel would turn the Segway to the left. With newer models you simply lean to the left or right. Meanwhile, a gyroscope(陀螺仪)detects your movements and prevents the machine from falling over. The Segway has a maximum speed of 19 km per hour and a range of about 38 km. After that,you need to plug it in and recharge the battery.Segways are used for a variety of purposes. People with mobility problems can now enjoy walks in the country with their friends and family. Some golfers use them as an alternative to the golf cart. And dog owners now have an easier way to take the dog to the park. A few police forcesuse Seg-ways,too.

Today was the day that they had enough money in hand to make a down payment on the house. But the real estate(房地产)agent informed them that she had received another offer for the house. Although the other offer was slightly less than that of Nancy and John´s, that person with the new offer was willing to pay the whole amount at once. The owner,in urgent need of money,wanted to accept the second offer.Nancy and John looked at each other with disappointed looks. They walked back home feeling very low about having lost the house. Soon they recovered and involved themselves into their daily lives,though once in a while Nancy would sink into a mild depression over losing the house.One day Nancy woke up in the morning feeling even lower than usual. She kept feeling sick,even lost interest in her routine coffee. She put all these symptoms down to the stress of working hard and losing her dream house. A week passed and she seemed to get worse. John was worried and insisted on taking her to the doctor. The doctor, after taking a few tests, informed them with a huge smile that Nancy was two months pregnant! John and Nancy were overjoyed but also worried about not having their own house before the baby was born.One evening Nancy wandered into the street where her dream house was,and as she passed by it,she was surprised to see that there were notices stuck on all the houses. On closer examination she found that the notices were for all the residents to move out of the houses as they were building a highway and the whole row of houses needed to be pulled down. Nancy suddenly realized that not getting her dream house had been a blessing in disguise. She thanked God and decided to be happy with the blessings she had and started looking forward to the birth of her child.第25题Why did Nancy and her husband lose their dream house?A.They couldn´ t pay the whole amount for the house at once.B.Someone else offered more money for the house.C.They couldn´t afford the advance for the house.D.The house owner decided not to sell the house.第26题How did they feel after they lost their dream house?A.They felt sorry and hardly recovered.B.They felt relieved but with little regret.C.They enjoyed their daily lives all the same.D.They were depressed but tried to adjust themselves.第27题What did Nancy find about the house one day?A.It would be on sale again.B.It would be pulled down.C.It had been redecorated.D.It had been emptied.第28题What does the phrase "a blessing in disguise" in the last paragraph mean?A.A good luck.B.A dirty trick.C.A secret wish.D.A false alarm.上一题下一题(29~32/共20题)Part ⅢReading ComprehensionDirections:There are some reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked [A]、[B]、[C] and [D]. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.Most of the guests who come on our trips have never been to Egypt before. We want to make everyone comfortable and at ease,but we do always get the same questions in advance of a trip.So here I will give you some travel tips. What should I wear?If you´ re lucky enough to visit Egypt between November and February, pack a sweater. You’ll need it—the desert gets chilly at night. During the day, the temperature will be agreeable and comfortable. Any other time,pack as if you´re going to Phoenix or Vegas in August. For the ladies,bathing suits are normal if there´ s a pool where you ´ re going, but leave the string bikini at home—it is a Muslim country,after all. Last,if you are planning on visiting any mosques or certain parts of upper Egypt,ladies will need to plan on bringing something that comes at least to the elbow,and no shorts for men or women in those areas. What special things do I need to pack?One of my favorite things in the world to bring to Egypt is an Evian Mister, a sprayer with a fine mist of Evian water. You may be able to find it in your local drug store. Spray a little on your face or head,and your body temperature will feel like it´s dropped 10 or 15 degrees. Other items include your camera,sun block and extra batteries.How do I communicate with home?Internet cafes are plentiful everywhere, especially in Cairo, Luxor, and Alexandria. If you have international calling on your phone, you should be able to use it—AT&T and Sprint both work internationally for sure,but make sure you have the international coverage. A satellite phone is best if you are certain to need coverage in the middle of the country, like while sailing up the Nile, but for most people these days a cell phone is fine. What medical preparation do I need?In a word: none! The one thing you may come down with in Egypt is politely called " Pharoah´s Revenge". The thing that knocks out Pharoah´ s Revenge is a regionally produced medicine,and is available at every drugstore for $1 a box. DON´T drink local water,DO drink bottled water,avoid the skins of fresh vegetables,and you’ll be fine.第29题What clothing is proper for ladies visiting a mosque?A.String bikinis.B.Long-sleeve clothes.C.Bathing suits.D.Shorts.第30题What´ s the use of an Evian Mister?A.To relieve your thirst.B.To prevent sunburns.C.To cool yourself down.D.To drive away insects.第31题What information is provided about distance communication?A.A cell phone is enough for most people.B.AT&T and Sprint offer free service in Egypt.C.A satellite phone doesn´ t work in Mid-Egypt.D.Internet cafes are only available in big cities.第32题What does "Pharoah´ s Revenge" probably refer to in the last paragraph?A.A curse.B.A legend.C.A disease.D.A vegetable.上一题下一题(33~36/共20题)Part ⅢReading ComprehensionDirections:There are some reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked [A]、[B]、[C] and [D]. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.It was a beautiful day for sightseeing around downtown Portland. We were on our day off and out for some fun. The weather was perfect for a picnic,so when lunch time came,we set our sights on a small park in town. Since we all had different tastes,we decided to split up,get what each of us wanted, and meet back on the grass in a few minutes.When my friends Robby headed for a hot dog stand, I decided to keep her company. We watched the seller put together the perfect hot dog,just the way Robby wanted it. But when she took out her money to pay him,the man surprised us."It looks a bit smaller on the cool side, "he said, "so never mind paying me. This will be my freebie of the day. "We said our thanks,joined our friends in the park,and dug into our food. But as we talked and ate,I noticed a man sitting alone nearby,looking at us. I could tell that he hadn´ t showered for days. Another homeless person,I thought,like all the others you see in cities. I didn´ t pay much more attention than that.We finished eating and decided to head -off for more sightseeing. But when Robby and I went to the garbage can to throw away my lunch bag, I heard a strong voice, " There isn´ t any food in that bag,is there?"It was the man who had been watching us. I didn´ t know what to say. "No,I ate it already. " "Oh,"was his only answer, with no shame in his voice at all. He was obviously hungry, couldn´ t bear to see anything thrown away, and was used to asking this question.I felt bad for the man,but I didn´t know what I could do. That´ s when Robby said, "I’ll be right back. Please wait for me a minute," and ran off. I watched curiously as she went across to the hot dog stand. Then I realized what she was doing. She bought a hot dog,crossed back to the garbage can,and gave the hungry man the food.When she came back to us, Robby said simply," I was just passing on the kindness that someone gave to me. "第33题Why did the seller offer Robby a free hot dog?A.It was offered for a large order.B.The hot dog didn´t look big enough.C.It was a special favor to a lady customer.D.The seller gave away a free hot dog every day.第34题Which word best describes the homeless man?A.Angry.B.Untidy.C.Sensitive.D.Impolite.第35题Why did Robby go back to the hot dog seller?A.She wanted to thank the hot dog seller.B.The homeless man asked her for a hot dog.C.She wanted to buy a hot dog for the homeless man.D.The hot dog was so delicious that Robby wanted another.第36题What is the theme of this passage?A.The rich should help the poor.B.One good turn deserves another.C.Kindness is the greatest wisdom.D.A kindness shown,a kindness sown.上一题下一题(37~40/共20题)Part ⅢReading ComprehensionDirections:There are some reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked [A]、[B]、[C] and [D]. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet.Whatever you do,don´t challenge a chimpanzee named Ayumu to a number memory game.In 2007, Ayumu became famous for his lightning speed at a game that goes like this: A player views a computer screen where the numbers 1 through 9 appear briefly at once and then turn to white squares. The player then taps the squares where the numbers had been,in order from 1 to 9. People can do it. But no human competitor has ever completed the game faster or more accurately than Ayumu the chimp. For almost five years Ayumu remains undefeated.Psychologist Nicholas Humphrey of Darwin College at Cambridge University in England now thinks he knows the secret behind the chimp´ s ability. Humphrey suspects Ayumu´ s brain may have a condition that allows the chimp to see numbers as colors. This would mean that Ayumu may see a color glow after the number disappears. Then,instead of remembering the numbers,he remembers a sequence of colors, each associated with a number.The condition that Humphrey believes Ayumu may have is called synesthesia. Humans with synesthesia may associate numbers and letters with colors. For example,a person may see the number "5"as the color blue. Until now,scientists had assumed only humans could have synesthesia.Humphrey found the inspiration for his idea at a 2011 scientific conference. There, he heard a presentation about Ayumu´ s memory abilities and another talk about synesthesia. He then put the two ideas together.Not everyone is convinced that Humphrey is correct. Primatologist Tetsuro Matsuzawa of the Primate Research Institute at Kyoto University in Japan has spent decades studying the amazing memories of chimpanzees, including Ayumu. He maintains that chimps simply have faster memory recall than people.第37题What is Ayumu famous for?A.His gift in playing computers.B.His talent in calculating numbers.C.His skill in tapping the numbered squares.D.His amazing performance in a memory game.第38题Which of the following is true of Nicholas Humphrey?A.He thinks Ayumu has an amazing memory.B.He believes that Ayumu sees the colors of numbers.C.He was inspired by Primatologist Tetsuro Matsuzawa.D.He delivered a speech on synesthesia at the 2011 conference.第39题Where does Humphrey get the inspiration for his idea?A.From an experiment.B.From a conference.C.From a research on chimpanzees.D.From the color blue.第40题How does Tetsuro Matsuzawa explain Ayumu´ s performance in the game?A.Ayumu uses synesthesia.B.Ayumu is cleverer than most chimps.C.Chimps recall things faster than people.D.Chimps are good at dealing with number.上一题下一题(41~55/共15题)Part IV ClozeDirections:For each blank in the following passage, there are four choices marked [A]、[B]、[C] and [D].

It said, “Wanted. The Best Salesman in the World. Top Pay . ”Harry thought he was a great salesman and went to ask for the job.” I am the best salesman in the world,” he said to the manager, “Give me the job.”“You must prove you’re the best,” the manager said.“OK, I will!” Harry answered.“Good!” The manager took a box of sweets out of his desk.” Last week I bought a thousand boxes of sweets. If you can sell them all before the end of the week, you can have the job,” said the manager.“That’s easy.” Harry said. He took the boxes of sweets and lef t the office.Every day and all day, he went from shop to shop, trying to sell the boxes of sweets. He couldn’t sell one. The sweets were too bad for him to sell. At the end of the week he went back to the manager. “I’m sorry, sir.” He said. “I was wrong about myself. I’m not the best salesman in the world, but I know who is.”“Oh,” said the manager. “Who?” The person who sold you a thousand boxes of these sweets.” Harry said.41.

If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it's a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from different cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite.A person who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.46. What does it mean in the passage if you call someone during his or her sleeping hours?A)A matter of work B)a matter of life or deathC) You want to see him or her. D)You want to make an appointment with him or her47.Which of the following time is proper if you want to make an appointment with your friend?A) at 7:00 am. B) at 4:00 pm. C)at the midnight. D)at 4:00 am.48. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?.A) Promptness is valued highly in American lifeB) There is no misunderstanding arising between people from different cultures about he concept of time.C) It may be considered foolish to make an appointment well in advance in U.S.A..D)In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date.49. From the passage we can safely infer that __________.A) it is a matter of life or death if you call someone in day timeB)the meaning of time differs in different parts of the worldC)it makes no difference in the U.S. Whether you are early or late for a business partyD)if a person is late for a date, he needn't make some explanationPassage ThreeQuestions 50 to 53 are based on the following passage.The price system of the United States is a very complex network composed of the prices of all the products bought and sold in the economy as well as those of a myriad of services, including labor, professional, transportation, and public-utility services. The price of any particular product of service is linked to a broad, complicated system of prices in which everything seems to depend more or less upon everything else.If you ask some people on the streets to define "price", many would reply that price is an amount of money paid by the buyer to the seller of a product or service or, in other words, that price is the money value of a product or service as agreed upon in a market transaction. However, For a complete understanding of a price in any particular transaction, much more than the amount of money involved must be known. Both the buyer and the seller should be familiar with not only the money amount, but also with the amount and quality of the product or service to be exchanged, the time and place at which the exchange will take place and payment will be made, the form of money to be used, the credit terms and discounts that supply to the transaction, guarantees on the product or service, delivery and other factors. In other words, both the buyer and the seller should be fully aware of all the factors that comprise the total "package" being exchanged for the asked-for amount of money in order that they may evaluate a given price.50. What is the best title for this passage?A)The Buyer and the Seller. B)The complexities(复杂性) of the Price System.C)The Weaknesses of the Price System D)Products and Services51. According to the passage , the price system is related primarily to __________.A) labour and education B)transportation and insurance C)utilities and repairs D)products and services52. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a factor for a complete understanding of a price?A)Instructions for the products B)The amount of the product C) The quality of the product D)the credit terms53. In the last sentence of the passage, the word"they" refers to ______.A)delivery terms B)all the factors C)both the buyer and the seller D)the total "package"Section B Short Answer Questions (4 points, 1 point each)Directions: Read the following two business letters.

What message does the writer want to convey in this passage?A Divorce often has disastrous consequences.B Happiness is hard to find in blended families.C The piety of the family relation should be respected in the highest degree.D Love is the base of family relationship especially in blended families.Passage TwoLike many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship. At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them. This leads us to ask: What is a hero?Despite immense differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people.A hero does something worth talking about. A hero has a story of adventure to tell and a community who will listen. But a hero goes beyond mere fame.Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves. Like high-voltagetransformers, heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.The hero lives a life worthy of imitation. Those who imitate agenuine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm, and meaning. A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom do they serve? What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes. Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life more abundant?Heroes are catalysts (催化剂) for change. They have a vision from the mountaintop. They have the skill and the charm to move the masses. They create new possibilities. Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr., we might still have segregated (隔离的) buses, restaurants, and parks. It may be possible for large-scale change to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless.36. Although heroes may come from different cultures, they ________.A generally possess certain inspiring characteristicsB probably share some weaknesses of ordinary peopleC are often influenced by previous generationsD all unknowingly attract a large number of fans37. According to the passage, heroes are compared to high-voltage transformers in that ________.A they have a vision from the mountaintopB they have warm feelings and emotionsC they can serve as concrete examples of noble principlesD they can make people feel stronger and more confident38. Madonna and Michael Jackson are not considered heroes because ________.A they are popular only among certain groups of peopleB their performances do not improve their fans morallyC their primary concern is their own financial interestsD they are not clear about the principles they should follow39. Gandhi and Martin Luther King are typical examples of outstanding leaders who ________.A are good at demonstrating their charming charactersB can move the masses with their forceful speechesC are capable of meeting all challenges and hardshipsD can provide an answer to the problems of their people40. The author concludes that historical changes would ________.A be delayed without leaders with inspiring personal qualitiesB not happen without heroes making the necessary sacrificesC take place ff there were heroes to lead the peopleD produce leaders with attractive personalitiesPassage ThreeKaren and Ken Mullin, a young professional couple in Cleveland, own fifty Coo kbooks and two fully equipped kitchens in their house. Yet they rarely cook their Own meals; instead, on their way home from work they usually stop at a supermarket And choose two portions of meat loaf and a container of ready-to-serve potatoes "My Job," says Karen "is to poor the salad from the bag."A half-century after the first TV dinner was born, the food industry is approachi ng its long-sought dream of relieving people like the Mullins of unpaid labor in the fin al, and arguably most profitable, step by which a cow gets turned into meat loaf. Incre asingly, tables in America's kitchens are used not for cuttingor peeling but for putting takeout food onto plates. For those who even bother with plates. According to HarryB lazer, an influential food-industry researcher, American dinners that came from a take out counter increased by 24 percent in the past decade, "We thought the microwave w ould be a cooking device," says Harry Blazer, "but we find it reheating takeout pizza."Across the United States, entire business models are being transformed. superm arket takeout counters, formerly a place where unsold chickens were courted with sau ce, increasingly resemble high-end corporate cafeterias, with sushi bars and stir-fly stations.One psychologist thinks the trend toward healthier eating is responsible: Amer icans have finally gotten the message that it's bad to eat fried chicken, so they’re doing it at home where no one can see them.Of course, thee are people you wouldn't expect to cook at home, like Steve Tra xler, an unmarried Chicago theater producer, whose refrigerator contains little more th an orange juice, wine and leftovers.Well, somebody must be using those cookbooks, right? "people don't have time t o cook; I think they're reading them in bed," says Rozanne Gold, author of a cookboo k.It's not entirely a question of time. The takeout fashion is fueled, in part, by th e popularity of foods like sushi, which even adventuresome American cooks are unlik ely to try to make at home. And takeout fills another need as well, for the atmosphere of the home-cooked dinner.41. From the text we a 1a that the Mullins______.A are experienced in cookingB are expert at food shoppingC often go dining out at a restaurantD often eat ready-made food at home42. The food industry is approaching its final goal of________.A freeing people of cooking at homeB turning cows into meat loaf far peopleC relieving itself of unpaid labor for peopleD providing people with delicious TV dinners43. We a infer from the text that some Americans .A are too busy to cut or palB are too bay to use their tablesC do not even are their platesD do not even use the microwave44. Supermarket takeout counters _______.A have sushi bas ad stir-fry stations nowB used to process the lea-ova food fo r saleC cooperate with high-end corporation cafeteriasD used to court chickens of i nferior with sauce45. Takeout food is not only convenient but also enables Americans to ______.A avoid taking unhealthy foodB follow the trend of eating outC enjoy eating together at homeD have time to improve their cooking\Passage FourFaced with a mission-critical decision, who would you turn to for advice? Someone you have great confidence in, surely. But several lines of research show that our instincts about where to turn to for counsel are often not completely correct.My research looks at prejudices that affect how people use advice, including why they often blindly follow recommendations from people who—as far as they know—are as knowledgeable as they are. In studies I conducted with Don Moore of Carnegie Mellon University, for example, I found that people tend to overvalue advice when the problem they're addressing is hard and to undervalue it when the problem is easy.In our experiments, subjects were asked to guess the weight of people in variouspictures, some of which were in focus and some of which were unclear. For each picture, subjects guessed twice: the first time without advice and the second time with input from another participant. When the pictures were in focus, we found, subjects tended to discount the advice; apparently, they were confident in their ability to guess correctly. When the pictures were unclear, subjects leaned heavily on the advice of others and seemed less secure about their initial opinion. Because they misjudged the value of the advice they received-—consistently overvaluing or undervaluing it depending on the difficulty of the problem—our subjects did not make the best guesses overall. They would have done better if they'd considered the advice equally, and to a moderate degree, on both hard and easy tasks.Another advice-related prejudice I've found compels people to overvalue advice that they pay for. In one study I conducted, subjects answered different sets of questions about American history. Before answering some of the questions, they could get advice on the correct answer from another subject whom they knew was no more expert than they were. In one version of the experiment, people could get advice for free, while in another version, they paid for it. When they paid for advice, peopletended to have firm belief in it, I suspect, by a combination of sunk-cost prejudice and the nearly instinctual belief that cost and quality are linked.46.In the face of a mission-critical decision, people tend to_______.A．trust their own effortsB．rely on research findingsC．get affected by other's opinionD．seek help from the more knowledgeable47.Research shows that when faced with difficult problems people often ______.A discount others' adviceB overlook others' adviceC disagree with others' adviceD over-rely on others' advice48. The first experiment tries to prove how objective conditions ______.A strengthen people's initial opinionB strengthen people's self-confidenceC influence people's response to adviceD influence people's guess of weight loss49. It can be inferred that people are likely to ______.A undervalue free adviceB overvalue peer's adviceC misinterpret specialist adviceD misjudge their instinctual belief50. The two experiments mentioned in the text reveal ______.A how to follow others' adviceB how to understand others' adviceC what causes people to seek adviceD what affects people's attitude to advicePart III Cloze（20 point）It is always a little sad to say goodbye to a long-time friend you are leaving forever, a __51__you have spent many hours with, in all sorts of__52____.

It can free people form poverty, giving them the power to greatly improve their lives and take a productive place in society. It can also free communities and countries, allowing them to leap forward into periods of wealth and social unity that otherwise would not be possible. For this reason, the international community has committed itself to getting all the world’s children into primary school by 2015, a commitment known as Education for All. Can Education for All be achieved by 2015? The answer is definitely”yes” , although it is a difficult task. If we now measure the goal in terms of children successfully completing a minimum of five years of primary school, instead of just enrolling for classes, which used to be the measuring stick for education, the challenge will become even more difficult. Only 32 countries were formerly believed to be at risk of not achieving education for all on the basis of enrollment rates. The number rises to 88 if completion rates are used as the standard. Still, the goal is achievable with the right policies and the right support from the international community. 59 of the 88 countries at risk can reach universal primary completion by 2015 if they bring the efficiency and quality of their education systems into line with standards observed in higher-performing systems. They also need significant increases in external(外部的)financing and technical support. The 29 countries lagging(落后)farthest behind will not reach the goal without unprecedented(空前的)rates of progress. But this is attainable with creative solutions, including the use of information technologies, flexible and targeted foreign aid, and fewer people living in poverty. A key lesson of experience about what makes development effective is that a country’s capacity to use aid well depends heavily on its policies, institutions and management. Where a country scores well on these standards, foreign assistance can be highly effective.1．It can be inferred from the passage that a quality education has the function of______.A．helping a country free from foreign ruleB．making people become wealthyC．giving people more power and freedomD．speeding up the progress of society正确答案：B解析：推断题。

But touching things can help you to see them better. Your eyes can tell you that aglass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth (光滑) and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too.All children soon learn what “Don’t touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things as we might buy: food, clothes. T o see something well, we have to touch it. There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to (习惯于) them!Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touc h. Their signs say, “Do touch!” There you can feel everything on show. If we want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see!61. By touching things,________ .A. you will have a strange feelingB. you will learn how to reach out your handC. you can know them betterD. you can tell what colors they are62. When people buy things in shops, they often________ .A. buy them firstB. keep their right hands on themC. ask about themD. feel and touch them63. Why does it say “At first, it is n ot easy to feel thesethings”? Because________ .A. the things are used by people, tooB. people feel the things too oftenC. people know how to use the thingsD. the things are easy to feel64. Which of the following is true?A. Touching is more important than seeing.B. Our feet, fingers, hands and skin can help us buy food.C. People have to learn to see by feeling as they grow up.D. Visitors can feel the things on show in some museums.65. Which of the following can be the best title of the story?A. Touching by Feeling.B. To See or to Feel?C. To See Better — Touch.D. Ways of Feeling.Passage 2The old V olkswagen Beetle —“The Bug” — is making a comeback. People who own them are planning to keep them forever. People who don’t own them are paying hig h prices when they can find one for sale. It’s more remarkable when you realize that VW doesn’t even make them anymore!A spokesman for V olkswagen of America says there were about five million “Bugs” on American roads in 1977.That was the last year they were shipped to America. VW estimates that about four million of them are still running and running and running.Used car dealers say they can’t keep “Bugs” on their lots these days. They feel it’s because these cars have a history of reliable, inexpensive transportation. The cars average about 30 miles per gallon of gas.But all hasn’t been smooth going for the “Bugs”. The heating system is poor. And since it travels very close to the ground, larger cars tend to splash it with winter’s snow and mud. Some in the safety field consider the Beetle as defenseless against heavier cars. But the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has nothing that shows any problem with them at all.66. American people like to have a “Bug”,________.A. because it is no more in productionB. because it is reliable and energy savingC. because it is remarkable and easy to driveD. because it is safe67. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?A. “Bugs” are more popular than other cars in America.B. “Bugs” are now produced in small quantity.C. American feel proud if they can own a “Bug”.D. No “Bugs” h ave been shipped to America since 1977.68. In the last sentence of the second paragraph, the word “them” refers to________ .A. a car by the name of V olkswagen BeetleB. heavier cars imported from other countriesC. people in the safety fieldD. people from National Highway Traffic Administration69. What is the problem with a “Bug”?A. It does not go smoothly.B. It is not comfortable in winter.C. It splashes mud and water.D. It travels too slowly.70. What can be concluded according to the NationalHighway Traffic Safety Administration?A. They are going to investigate into “Bugs” problem.B. Some of the “Bugs” are not usable any more.C. It is defenseless when it is hit by a heavy car.D. The “Bugs” is good for use.Passage 3There are many ways to learn about people of other lands. One way is to study the clothing other people wear. For thousands of years, people in different part of the world have worn very different types of clothing. There are four big reasons for this.One reason might be religion. In many Moslem countries, women must wear veils to hide their faces. The veils must be worn in public. Veils are part of the Moslem religion. The second reason is that different materials are used in different countries. For instance, in France the materials used in clothing may be cotton, silk, wool, or many other man made materials. Most people in China wear cotton.The ways clothes are made are also very different. This is another reason why people dress differently. Western countries rely on machines to make most of their clothing. Someone living inIndia can use only hand power to make the clothing he needs.World wide differences in customs also lead to differences in clothing. A Mexican farmer wears a straw hat with a brim up. In China, a farmer wears a straw hat with a brim down. Both hats are used to protect the farmers from the sun. Some of these customs have come down through thousands of years.71. If you want to learn about the differences about people in the world, you________.A. should know the ways to study other landsB. should know the four big reasons given in the passageC. may study the different types of clothing people wearD. may be surprised by the ways people wear hats72. In many Moslem countries, women have to ________ in public.A. wear more clothes than menB. cover their faces with veilsC. protect their faces from being hurtD. wear religious clothing73. Which of the following is the reason for the differences in clothing?A. Materials used for clothes differ from country to country.B. Cotton is the common material for clothing.C. Man made materials are invented to make clothes.D. Most people like silk clothes.74. The third reason for difference in clothing is________ .A. different materialsB. different ways of making clothesC. different styles of dressingD. different religions75. The two examples of wearing hats are given in the last paragraph to show________ .A. the effect of customs on dressing styleB. the function of wearing straw hatC. the correct way of wearing straw hatD. the long history of some customsPassage 4Pressure Cooker (高压锅) SafetyWhen you are cooking with a pressure cooker, you shouldlearn a few common sense (常识) rules:1. Never leave the cooker unwatched when it is in use.2. Add sufficient liquid but never past the recommended fill point. Overfilling the cooker may block the vent pipe (排气孔) and cause the cooker to explode.3. Set the cooking time. Too much time may overcook the food or too much pressure may build up in the cooker. Too little time will lead to under cooked food.4. If you are new to pressure cooking, follow the cooking instructions carefully. Heat and time can either result in a great meal or a ruined one.5. Never try to force a pressure cooker cover open. Allow the cooker to cool or run it under cool water before trying to open the cover.6. Clean the cooker thoroughly after each use. Mild detergent (洗涤剂) and hot water work the best. Do not use stove ash or sand for they may damage the cooker. The gasket (密封圈) is best cleaned in warm soapy water and then dried. Store the gasket in the bottom of the pot.76. According to the first rule, the user should________ .A. keep the cooker under close watchB. always keep the cooker half fullC. never leave the cooker emptyD. never turn off the stove77. According to the second rule, too much liquid in the cooker may result in________ .A. a ruined mealB. under cooked foodC. too little pressureD. a blocked vent pipe78. According to the fifth rule, a pressure cooker cover should be opened________ .A. as soon as the cook is finishedB. which it is still on the stoveC. with force when it is hotD. after it is cooled down79. According to the instructions, which of the following is TRUE?A. The gasket should be cleaned thoroughly with cold water.B. Mild detergent and hot water can best clean the cooker.C. Soapy water will often damage the cooker.D. Sand can be used to clean the cooker.80. Which of the following operations may be dangerous?A. Overfilling the cooker with food and water.B.

WRITINGPART I LISTENING COMPREHENSION (35 MIN)SECTION A MINI-LECTUREDirections: In this section you sill hear a mini-lecture. You will hear the lecture ONCE ONLY. While listening, take notes on the important points. Your notes will not be marked, but you will need them to complete a gap-filling task after the mini-lecture. When the lecture is over, you will be given two minutes to check your notes, and another ten minutes to complete the gap-filling task on ANSWER SHEET ONE. Use the blank sheet for note-taking.听力原文：What Do Active Learners Do? Good morning. Today, I’ll discuss what is active learning and uh…what do active learners do. In order to define active learning, I’ll look at the differences between active learning and passive learning by examining six characteristics of active learners and contrasting them with those of passive learners. OK. Let’s start. With the first characteristic, active learners tend to read with the purpose of understanding and remembering. I bet that no one deliberately sits down to read with the purpose of not understanding the text. However, I’m sure that some of you have been in a situation, probably more than once, where you read, quote and unquote, an assignment, closed the text, and thought, what the world was that about. When you interact with a text in this manner, you are reading passively. (1) Active readers, on the other hand, set goals before they read and check their understanding as they read. When they finish, they can explain the main points and know that they have understood what they have read, Now, the second characteristic of active learners is to reflect on information and think critically. Being reflective is an important part of active learning because that means that you are thinking about the information. In other words, you are processing the information. For instance, you may make connections between the new information and what you already know, (3) identify concepts that you may not understand very well, (4) or evaluate the importance of what you are reading. An active learner reflects constantly in this way. In contrast, passive learners may read the text and listen to lectures and even understand most of what is read and heard, but they did not take that crucial next step of actually thinking about it. Let’s move on to the third one. (5) The third characteristic is to listen actively by taking comprehensive notes in an organized way, like what you should be doing now. We lecturers are always amazed at the number of students who engage in activities other than listening and note-taking in their lecture classes. We’ve seen students reading newspapers, doing an assignment for another class, or chatting with the classmates. Perhaps the all-time winner for passive learning, however, was a student who regularly came to my class with a pillow and fell asleep.Unlike these students, active learners are engaged learners. They listen actively to the professor for the entire class period, and they write down as much information as possible. To be an active note-taker, you must be more than simply present. You have to think about the information before you write. The fourth characteristic is to get assistance when they are experiencing problems. (6) Because active learners are constantly monitoring their understanding, they know when their comprehension breaks down and they ask for help before they become lost. In addition, active learners often predict the courses or even particular concepts within courses that may give them trouble. They have a plan in mind for getting assistance should they need it. Active learners may seek assistance from their professors or peers. Although passive learners may seek help at some point, it is often too little, too late. In addition, because passive learners do not reflect and think critically, they often don’t even realize that they need help. The next characteristic is to question information. This means that active learners raise questions on information that they read and hear, while passive learners accept both the printed page and the words of their professors as truth. Of course, active learners don’t question everything, but they do evaluate what they read and hear. (7) When new information fails to fit in with what they already know, they may differ in the conclusions they draw or in the inferences they make. The last characteristic, which I think is the most fundamental one, is to accept much of the responsibility for learning. (8) Active learners understand that the responsibility for learning must come from within while passive learners often want to blame others for their lack of motivation, poor performance, time management problems and other difficulties that they might experience. (9) When active learners don’t perform as well as they’d hoped, they evaluate why they didn’t do well and change those studying behaviors the next time. Passive learners, on the other hand, often approach every course in the same manner and then get angry with professors when their performance is poor. It is only when students accept the responsibility for their own learning that they can truly be called active learners. So, from what I’ve said so far, you can see that being an active learner involves both skill and will. By skill, I mean the tools to handle the studying and learning demands placed on you, like how to read with purpose, when and where to get assistance if you are having difficulty. By will, I mean the desire and motivation to follow through. Here I’d like to emphasize that skill is nothing without will. For example, you may have a friend who is knowledgeable but not motivated in the classroom. Even though he reads widely and can intelligently discuss a variety of issues, he does little school work and rarely studies. In other words, students such as these may have the skills to do well, but for some reason, they simply do not have the will. (10) And because skill and will go hand in hand, unmotivated students, those who do not have the will, may experience difficulty in college. OK. Today, we discussed the differences between an active learner and a passive one, and some useful study strategies that may eventually help you become an active learner.What Do Active Learners Do? There are differences between active learning and passive learning. Characteristics of active learners:I. reading with purposeA. before reading: setting goalsB. while reading: (1)______ (1) ______II.(2) ______ and critical in thinking (2) ______i. e. information processing, e. g.—connections between the known and the new information—identification of (3) ______ concepts (3) ______—judgment on the value of (4) ______ (4) ______III. active in listeningA. ways of note-taking: (5) ______ (5) ______B. before note-taking: listening and thinkingIV. being able to get assistanceA. reason 1: knowing comprehension problems because of(6) ______ (6) ______B. reason 2: being able to predict study difficultiesV. being able to question information A. question what they read or hearB. evaluate and (7) ______ (7) ______VI. last characteristicA. attitude toward responsibility —active learners: accept—passive learners: (8) ______ (8) ______B. attitude toward (9) ______ (9) ______—active learners: evaluate and change behaviour—passive learners: no change in approachRelationship between skill and will; will is more important in(10)______.

Listen carefully and then answer the questions that follow. Questions 1 to 5 are based on an interview. At the end of the interview you will be given 10 seconds to answer each of the following five questions.Now listen to the interview.听力原文：Ml :Good morning, Mr. West. Nice to have you on our program.M2: Good morning.Ml: OK. We all work, or very few people can get away with not working. Work is the fact of life when we are adults. But before, there wasn’t a lot of choice in the selection of work. Now things are different. (l)With greater mobility, the mobility that is offered when people have greater opportunities for higher education or training, more and more people are able to choose the fields that interest them. They can and do have opinions about what makes one job for them better than another job. So, Mr. West, what do people actually want from their jobs? What are workers’opinions, you know, about what makes one job better than another?M2:Well, to answer your questions, I’d like to look at two polls, two surveys. They were both done in the 1990s. The purposes were to find out what issues or job characteristics were especially important to workers.Ml:Hmm, what were they?M2: Some of you might guess that the answer is obvious.Ml: I think so.M2: You might say, “Oh, people just want higher salaries, more money. “ But let’s see if that’s true.Ml: OK.M2:Now, the first poll, the first poll was taken in 1990. And this poll asked respondents to choose what was the most important to them among five items. And they were only allowed to choose one out of the five items.Ml :So, what were the five items?M2: Alright. The first item was important and meaningful work. The second was high income. The third was chances for advancement, promotion and so on. The fourth item was job security and the fifth was short of work hours. OK?Ml: It would be interesting to know the survey results.M2:Yes. Now, let me tell you the results. (2)50% considered important and meaningful work the most important characteristic of a job. They didn’t choose high income. Interesting! Anyway, 24% did say high income was the most important characteristic of a job. Of the remaining, 16% said chances for advancement was most important. Maybe these were younger workers starting out on a career. 6% said job security and finally 4% said short of work hours was most important.Ml: I think what’s striking about the results is that by far workers valuedimportant and meaningful work as more important than any of the other characteristics that included salary.M2:Yeah. Now, I’m going to tell you about another poll. And this poll was taken a year later in 1991, and they asked the respondents to reflect on how important certain job characteristics were in their work. (3) And this is a different type of poll because whereas in the first poll, respondents had to choose only one out of five. In this poll, they want their respondents to react to each item separately. You know, this is to rank each item as not important, somewhat important, important, or very important. So they had four choices for each item.Ml: Sorry to interrupt you. How many items altogether?M2: Oh, the poll had 16 items. Let me give you a few examples.Ml: OK.M2: The second item they asked about is interesting work. They asked how important is interesting work to you. And again, I’m just going to tell you about how many people said it was very important. In this case, 78% of the respondents ranked this as very important to them.Ml: 78%?M2:Yes. 78%. This is the key point, I think. One often sees people working for a lot less if they enjoy their work.Ml: That’s true.M2:The fourth item they asked about was opportunity to learn new skills. How important is that to you? 68% ranked this as very important. And I think that goes again to the idea of interest level, personal satisfaction, and the idea that people want their work to be meaningful.Ml: Definitely!M2: Another item, item No. 7—recognition from co-workers. 62% of the respondents said that this was very important. It was important for them to be recognized, to be respected, and acknowledged for the work they’ve done. And I see recognition as a psychological benefit. There is no monetary reward necessarily attached to it, although sometimes there could be. But more people are looking for the psychological reward in terms of appreciation.Ml: (4) It seems to me that people value psychological reward a lot more than money.M2: That’s right. At least the poll results seem to say so. Now let’s take a look at another item, No. 14.Ml: OK.M2: (5)No. 14 was chances for promotion. 53% said that this was very important to them. It was important to them to have opportunities for advancement, chances for promotion. And I think this goes along with high income and recognition. There’s both a psychological reward to promotion, as well as a monetary reward.Ml: Hmm.M2:15 is contact with a lot of people. Some people are very people-orientated and 52% said that this was very important to them.Ml: So we can see workers do have a lot of things that are very important to them.M2:Yes, but you can also see the variation in numbers. But a note of caution here. These are averages. And polls talk about averages. But still, I think it’s important for employers to become more aware of polls like these. Because it might allow them to keep their workers satisfied in ways that maybe they haven’t thought of before.Ml: Yeah. OK. Thank you very much, Mr. West, for talking to us on the program.M2: Pleasure.11．According to the interviewer, which of the following best indicates the relationship between choice and mobility?A．Better education→greater mobility→more choices.B．Better education→more choices→greater mobility.C．Greater mobility→better education→more choices.D．Greater mobility→more choices→better education.正确答案：A12．According to the interview, which of the following details about the first poll is INCORRECT?A．Shorter work hours was least chosen for being most important.B．Chances for advancement might have been favoured by young people.C．High income failed to come on top for being most important.D．Job security came second according to the poll results.正确答案：D13．According to the interviewee, which is the main difference between the first and the second poll?A．The type of respondents who were invited.B．The way in which the questions were designed.C．The content area of the questions.D．The number of poll questions.正确答案：B14．What can we learn from the respondents’ answers to items 2, 4 and 7 in the second poll?A．Recognition from colleagues should be given less importance.B．Workers are always willing and ready to learn more new skills.C．Psychological reward is more important than material one.D．Work will have to be made interesting to raise efficiency.正确答案：C15．According to the interviewee, which of the following can offer both psychological and monetary benefits?A．Contact with many people.B．Chances for advancement.C．Appreciation from coworkers.D．Chances to learn new skills.正确答案：BSECTION C NEWS BROADCASTDirections: In this section you will hear everything ONCE ONLY.

Researchers in The Netherlands tracked the heart health of Dutch women who lived through the famine at the end of World War II. Those living on rations of 400 to 800 calories a day had a 27% higher risk of heart disease in later life. It’s the first direct evidence that early nutrition shapes future health, they report in the European Heart Journal. The Dutch famine of 1944-45 gave researchers in Holland a unique opportunity to study the long-term effects of severe malnutrition in childhood and adolescence. A combination of factors—including failed crops, a harsh winter and the war-caused thousands of deaths among people living in the west of The Netherlands. (10)The women, who were aged between 10 and 17 at the time, were followed up in 2007. The team found those who were severely affected by the famine had a 27% greater risk of developing heart disease than those who had enough to eat.19．The news item reports on a research finding aboutA．the Dutch famine and the Dutch women.B．early malnutrition and heart health.C．the causes of death during the famine.D．nutrition in childhood and adolescence.正确答案：B20．When did the research team carry out the study?A．At the end of World War II.B．Between 1944 and 1945.C．In the 1950s.D．In 2007.正确答案：DPART II READING COMPREHENSION (30 MIN)Directions: In this section there are four reading passages followed by a total of 20 multiple-choice questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.Three hundred years ago news travelled by word of mouth or letter, and circulated in taverns and coffee houses in the form of pamphlets and newsletters. “The coffee houses particularly are very roomy for a free conversation, and for reading at an easier rate all manner of printed news,” noted one observer. Everything changed in 1833 when the first mass-audience newspaper, The New York Sun , pioneered the use of advertising to reduce the cost of news, thus giving advertisers access to a wider audience. The penny press, followed by radio and television, turned news from atwo-way conversation into a one-way broadcast, with a relatively small number of firms controlling the media. Now, the news industry is returning to something closer to the coffee house. The internet is making news more participatory, social and diverse, reviving the discursive characteristics of the era before the mass media. That will have profound effects on society and politics. In much of the world, the mass media are flourishing. Newspaper circulation rose globally by 6% between 2005 and 2009. But those global figures mask a sharp decline in readership in rich countries. Over the past decade, throughout the Western world, people have been giving up newspapers and TV news and keeping up with events in profoundly different ways. Most strikingly, ordinary people are increasingly involved in compiling, sharing, filtering, discussing and distributing news. Twitter lets people anywhere report what they are seeing. Classified documents are published in their thousands online. Mobile-phone footage of Arab uprisings and American tornadoes is posted on social-networking sites and shown on television newscasts. Social-networking sites help people find, discuss and share news with their friends. And it is not just readers who are challenging the media elite. Technology firms including Google, Facebook and Twitter have become important conduits of news. Celebrities and world leaders publish updates directly via social networks; many countries now make raw data available through “open government”initiatives. The internet lets people read newspapers or watch television channels from around the world. The web has allowed new providers of news, from individual bloggers to sites, to rise to prominence in a very short space of time. And it has made possible entirely new approaches to journalism, such as that practiced by WikiLeaks, which provides an anonymous way for whistleblowers to publish documents. The news agenda is no longer controlled by a few press barons and state outlets. In principle, every liberal should celebrate this. A more participatory and social news environment, with a remarkable diversity and range of news sources, is a good thing. The transformation of the news business is unstoppable, and attempts to reverse it are doomed to failure. As producers of new journalism, individuals can be scrupulous with facts and transparent with their sources. As consumers, they can be general in their tastes and demanding in their standards. And although this transformation does raise concerns, there is much to celebrate in the noisy, diverse, vociferous, argumentative and stridently alive environment of the news business in the ages of the internet. The coffee house is back. Enjoy it.21．According to the passage, what initiated the transformation of coffee-house news to mass-media news?A．The emergence of big mass media firms.B．The popularity of radio and television.C．The appearance of advertising in newspapers.D．The increasing number of newspaper readers.正确答案：C解析：事实细节题。

Both kinds of companies specialize in making other companies look good.A public relations firm charges very high prices because the work they do has to do with psychology, the psychology of business and people who buy products.Generally speaking, public relations means “dealing with the public”, and the public is everyone.

If you know the manners of your foreign friends, you will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own.A visitor to India should remember it is impolite there to use the left hand for passing food at the table. The left hand is for washing yourself. Also in India, you might see a man shaking his head at another to show that he is disagreeing. But in many parts of India a side-to-side movement of the head is to show agreement. In Bulgaria you shake your head to show "yes"—a nod shows "no".In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs while sitting and talking to someone, even at an important meeting. But doing this could cause offence to a Thailander. Touching the head of a grown-up is also not done in Thailand.Knowing about manners is useful when you are traveling, and you also need to know the language used to express the customs.1．If you are staying in India, you'd better A .A.not use your left hand to pass food at the table.e your left hand to pass food at the table.C.not use your left hand to wash yourself.e your left hand at all times.2．To shake your head means “Yes” C .A.in IndiaB.in EuropeC.in BulgariaD.in Thailand3．You can easily make a Thailander angry by B .A.touching his headB.crossing your legs while talking to himC.shaking your headD.nodding your head4．The writer thinks that to know about a country well one must D .A.know the language of the countryB.know the manners of the countryC.know the manners better than the languageD.know both the language and the manners5．We can learn from the passage that A .A.different countries have different manners.B.the manners in Thailand are the same as those in India.C.one should be careful not to cross legs in Europe.D.one should not touch a grown-up's head in India.三．Fill in the blanks with the words given below.
