试卷分值120分，考试时间100分钟。

并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑．AA new research of 8,000 young people in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior shows that although love can make adults live healthily and happily, it is a bad thing for young people. Puppy love (早恋) may bring stress for young people and can lead to depression . The study shows that girls become more depressed than boys, and younger girls are the worst of all.The possible reason for the connection between love and higher risk of depression for girls is “loss of self”. According to the study, even though boys would say “lose themselves in a romantic relationship”, this “loss of self” is much more likely to lead to depression when it happens to girls. Young girls who have romantic relationships usually like hiding their feelings and opinions. They won’t tell that to their parents.Dr Marian Kaufman, an expert on young people problems, says 15% to 20% young people will have depression during their growing. Trying romance often causes the depression. She advises kids not to jump into romance too early. During growing up, it is important for young people to build strong friendships and a strong sense of self. She also suggests the parents should encourage their kids to keep close to their friends, attend more interesting school activities and spend enough time with family.Parents should watch for signs of depression—eating or mood changes —and if they see signs from their daughters or sons, they need to give help. The good news is that the connection between romance and depression seems to become weak with age. Love will always make us feel young, but only maturity gives us a chance to avoid its bad side effects.1. Which of the following is more likely to have depression?A. Young people who have a strong sense of selfishness.B. Young boys whose parents watch for their behavior.C. Young girls who always hide their feelings and opinions.D. Careless parents whose children are deep in love.2. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Lacking love can lead young people to grow up more quickly.B. The older a woman is，the less likely she seems to lose herself in romance.C. Early love makes young people keep close to their friends and parents.D. Parents should help their children to be aware of the signs of depression.3. What’s the author’s attitude towards puppy love?A. Confused.B. Disinterested.C. Scared.D. Disapproving.4. What’s the main idea of the passage?A. Parents should forbid their children’s love.B. Puppy love may bring young people depression.C. Romance is a two - edged sword for adults.D. Romance is good for young people.BHave you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it? Are you afraid to ask a boy(girl)for a date?Many people are afraid to assert themselves(insist upon their own rights). Dr Robert Alberti, author of Stand Up, Speak out, and Talk Back , thinks it’s because their self-esteem is low. “Our whole system of our society makes people doubt themselves,” says Alberti. “There’s always a ‘superior’ around—a parent, a teacher, a boss—who knows better”.But Alberti and other scientists are doing something to help people to assert themselves, they offer “assertiveness training” courses (AT). In the AT courses peop le learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn to be aggressive without hurting other people.In one way, learning to speak out is to overcome fear. A group taking an AT course will help the timid person to lose his fear. But AT uses an even stronger motive—the need to share. The timid person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels. AT says you can get to feel good about yourself. And once you do, you can learn to speak out.5. The author asks some questions in the first paragraph in order to _____.A. find out the answersB. make a surveyC. introduce the topicD. ask for some advice6. In the passage, the writer talks about the problem that ______.A. some people are too easy-goingB. some people are too timidC. some people dare not stick up for their own rightsD. there are too many superiors around us7. The effect of the system of our society on people is often to ______.A. make them distrust their own judgmentB. make things more favorable for themC. keep them from speaking out as much as their superiors doD. help them to learn to speak up for their rightsCApple SeedsCirculation (发行量): 1 Year, 9 IssuesCover Price: MYM 44.55Price For You: MYM 33.95Product Description: Apple Seeds is an award winning magazine filled with stories for kids aged from 7 to 9.

Which magazine may best help relieve your work stress?A. Apple SeedsB. Better LifeC. Humor TimesD. News ChinaDOrdinary World by the late Chinese author Lu Yao has been adapted into a TV series. The novel was first published nearly three decades ago, and a previous attempt to bring the story to the small screen in 1989 failed.The 56-episode series has been aired on four channels since last month. It reportedly cost its makers 120 million yuan ($19.2 million) and took seven years to complete.In 1991, Lu's most famous work earned him the Mao Dun Literature Prize, one of China's most prestigious(有声望的) literary awards. In the next 20 years, almost 5 million copies of the novel were sold. Ordinary World took Lu six years to write, and he is said to have extensively researched Chinese newspapers printed from 1975 to 1985, making his book reflect the realities of the time and also add as much historical context as possible.From the perspective of two brothers' struggles, the novel mostly shows the lives of people in rural China from the mid-1970s to the 1980s.The book also draws from the author's own experiences of rural life in his native northwestern Shanxi province, where he once was a poor farmer's son. But he couldn't enjoy fame for long. He passed away at age 43, leaving his family to deal with an unpaid debt of more than 10,000 yuan.That his marital(婚姻的) life might have been in crisis too, was reportedly revealed later, when his brother told the media that the author had signed a draft agreement for divorce with his wife three months before his death, but the couple failed to make it legal owing to Lu's poor health.The TV series, however, still proves that Lu remains one of China's favorite storytellers. A recent survey shows the book as the "third-most borrowed book from college libraries", media report. As many as 31,000 short reviews connected to the novel are posted on Baidu Tieba, a popular Chinese online forum.In China, as most well-received TV shows these days revolve around themes such as urban romance and war, investors are slow to put in their money on productions that depict farmers and factory workers."The era was tough and poverty-stricken, but the people never stopped pursuing their dreams," the 33-year-old actor says of the setting in Lu's novel.12. Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?A. Ordinary world was first published nearly 30 years ago.B. Almost 5 million copies of Ordinary World were sold after it earned him the Mao Dun Literature Prize.C. Ordinary World mostly shows the lives of people in urban China from the mid-1970s to the 1980s.D. Ordinary World is set in the author’s own experiences of rural life in his native northwestern ShanXiprovince。

AOn a sunny day last August, Tim heard some shouting. Looking out to the sea carefully, he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea.Two 12-year-old boys, Christian and Jack, rowed out a boat to search for a football. Once they'd rowed beyond the calm waters, a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water. The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore. But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control.Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves."Everything went quiet in my head," Tim recalls (回忆). "I was trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line."Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water. Every 500 yards or so, he raised his head to judge his progress. "At one point, I considered turning back," he says. "I wondered if I was putting my life at risk." After 30 minutes of struggling, he was close enough to yell to the boys, "Take down the umbrella!"Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella. Then Tim was able to catch up and climb aboard the boat. He took over rowing, but the waves were almost too strong for him."Let's aim for the pier (码头)," Jack said. Tim turned the boat toward it. Soon afterward, waves crashed over the boat, and it began to sink. "Can you guys swim?" he cried. "A little bit," the boys said.Once they were in the water, Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier. Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs. Tim swam toward land as water washed over the boys' faces.“Are we almost there?" they asked again and again. "Yes," Tim told them each time. After 30minutes, they reached the pier.1. Why did the two boys go to the sea?A. To go boat rowing.B. To swim in the open water.C. To get back their football.D. To test the umbrella as a sail.2. What does "it" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The beach.B. The wind.C. The boat.D. The water.3. Why did Tim raise his head regularly?A. To check his distance from the boys.B. To consider turning back or not.C. To take in enough fresh air.D. To ask the boys to take down the umbrella.4. How did the two boys finally reach the pier?A. They were carried to the pier by Tim on his back.B. They swam to the pier all by themselves.C. They were washed to the pier by the waves.D. They were dragged to the pier by Tim.BWhat will power your house in the future？Nuclear，wind，or solar power？According to scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US，it might be leaves — but artificial (人造的) ones.Natural leaves are able to change sunlight and water into energy. It is known as photosynthesis (光合作用)．Now researchers have found a way to imitate this seemingly simple process.The artificial leaf developed by Daniel Nocera and his colleagues at MIT can be seen as a special silicon chip with catalysts (催化剂)．Similar to natural leaves，it can split water into hydrogen and oxygen when put into a bucket of water. The hydrogen and oxygen gases are then stored in a fuel cell，which uses those two materials to produce electricity，located either on top of a house or beside the house. Though the leaf is only about the shape of a poker card，scientists claimed that it is promising to be an inexpensive source of electricity in developing countries. “One can imagine villages in India and Africa not long from now purchasing an affordable bas ic power system based on this technology,” said Nocera at a conference of the American Chemical Society.The artificial leaf is not a new idea. The first artificial leaf was invented in 1997 but was too expensive and unstable for practical use. The new leaf，by contrast，is made of cheap materials，easy to use and highly stable. In laboratory studies，Nocera showed that an artificial leaf prototype (原型) could operate continuously for at least 45 hours without a drop in activity.The wonderful improvements come from Nocera's recent discovery of several powerful，new and inexpensive catalysts. These catalysts make the energy transformation inside the leaf more efficient with water and sunlight. Right now，the new leaf is about 10 times more efficient at carrying out photosynthesis than a natural one. Besides，the device can run in whatever water is available；that is，it doesn't need pure water. This is important for some countries that don't have access to pure water.With the goal to “make each home its own power station” and “give energy to the poor”，scientists believe that the new technology could be widely used in developing countries，especially in India and rural China.5．Which of the following orders correctly shows how the artificial leaf is used toproduce electricity?a．artificial leaves split water into hydrogen and oxygenb．the hydrogen and oxygen gases are stored in a fuel cellc．the artificial leaves are put in waterd．the fuel cell uses hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricityA．c，a，b，d B．c，b，a，dC．b，c，a，d D．c，a，d，b6．The purpose of the scientists at MIT in developing the new artificialleaf is to________.A．build up more power stations in the worldB．provide cheaper energy for developing countriesC．offer people in developing countries access to pure waterD．gain a deeper understanding of the photosynthesis process7．The main idea of this passage is ________.A．an introduction to the history of artificial leavesB．a mixture of water power and solar energyC．giving energy to the poorD．an invention copying photosynthesisCIn December, 2010, many American newspapers publish a list of the best books of the year. Freedom by Jonathan Franzen is one of the most repeatedly praised books on this year's list of favorites. It tells about the ups and downs of the Berglund family over many years. Mr. Franzen fills the book with sharp observations about American politics, culture and society.Jennifer Egan's book A Visit from the Goon Squad takes place in 13 chapters over 40 years. The story moves back and forth in time, from different viewpoints. One main character is former rock musician Bennie Salazar who works for a record company. The other main character is a troubled young woman named Sasha who works for Bennie. The reader learns about their pasts and those of their friends.The main character in The Imperfectionists by Tom Rachman is a failing English Language newspaper published in Rome, Italy. Each chapter of the book tells about a reporter or editor working for this paper. Their stories are filled with intelligence and great personality.Two of the most popular nonfiction books of 2010 were about rock and roll stars. Just Kids is by rock singer Patti Smith. It tells about her friendship with the artist Robert Mapplethorpe in the 1960s and 1970s before they became famous. Life is the autobiography of Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards. It is an honest and exciting look at the development of rock and roll and the wild times this famous band has experienced.Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand tells about a man named Louis Zamperini. She tells about his extraordinary survival story after his plane crashed into the Pacific Ocean during Would War Two.Stacy Schiff has received great praise for her book Cleopatra: A Life. It tells about one of the most misrepresented and famous women in his story, Cleopatra. She ruledancient Egypt about 2,000 years ago. One critic said Ms. Schiff has brought Cleopatra to life again by unearthing her story from centuries of lies.8.The following books are related to music EXCEPT________.A. The ImperfectionistsB. A Visit from the Goon SquadC. Just KidsD. Life9.If your major is the history of ancient Africa, you may pay attention to ________.A. Freedom by Jonathan FranzenB. Unbroken by Laura HillenbrandC. The Imperfections by Tom RachmanD. Cleopatra: A Life by Stacy Schiff10．Which book will give you a practical understanding of the USA?A．Life B．Cleopatra: A LifeC．Freedom D．A Visit from the Goon Squad 11.The last sentence of the passage implies that ________.A．Stacy Schiff is an archaeologistB．the critic finds the character in the book very realC．the critic speaks highly of Cleopatra in historyD．Stacy Schiff tells a story about an imaginary Egyptian queenDI want to talk about the economy．Not "the economy" we hear about endlessly in the news each day and in politicians' speeches．I want to talk about the real economy, the one we live in day by day．Most people aren't particularly interested in "the economy"．"Share prices are flying high; interest rates are soaring(令人伤心的）; the Dow Jones Index closed sixty-three points down on 8472．35．" We hear this and subconsciously switch off．Notice that "the economy" is not the same as the economy, "The economy" is what men in suits play with to make vast personal wealth．The economy is where the rest of us live on a daily basis, earning our living, paying our taxes, and purchasing the necessities of life．We are supposed to be benefiting from all the advantages of a well-off society．So why do we feel tired and stressed? We have no time for anything other than work, which is ridiculous given the number of labor-saving devices in our lives．Our towns become more and more crowded．We poison our air and seas, and our food is full of chemicals．There's something wrong here．If times were truly good, then you may think we'd all feel optimistic about the future．Yet the majority of us are deeply worried．More than 90 percent of us think we are too concerned about ourselves and not concerned enough about future generations．The term "economic expansion" suggests something desirable, but expansion simply means spending more money．More spending doesn't mean that life is getting better. We all know it often means the opposite - greed, crime, poverty, pollution. More spending merely feeds our whole economic system, which is based on production and consumption. Unless money keeps circulating, the economy breaks down. If we don't keep consuming, the whole system goes into stalemate（僵局）．How do we break the cycle and make some changes? We need to become far more awareof the results of our actions. We buy clothes that are made in sweat shops by virtual slaves in poor parts of the world. We create mountains of waste.

AAs a substitute teacher, my daily routine involves driving to a new school almost every day so I'm usually unable to anticipate（预料）the day's events, good or bad!On one particular day,1 was teaching in a very difficult classroom．1 was managing behavior all morning and by lunch time, I knew I needed coffee to even consider surviving the afternoon．So on my lunch break, I drove to a nearby plaza to get a cup of coffee．Upon returning to the car I realized l had locked my keys and my phone inside! I had about 15 minutes to get back to the school which was a good 4 or 5-minute drive away．I contemplated（思考）rushing back, but it being winter, I thought a nasty fall on ice would only make the situation much worse．So I ran into a McDonald's which was in the same plaza and asked the man at the counter who happened to be the manager to please call me a cab．I briefly explained my situation to him, and I could tell by the look in his eyes, that he empathized．He hurried to the back to use the phone while I paced in the restaurant．I had less than 10 minutes to get back to my school at this point．The manager returned only to tell me that the cab company had put him on hold and then the line got disconnected, and that he was now on hold again, but had not yet been able to request the cab yet My expression, I assume, began to resemble some combination of hopelessness and fear．Without a thought, he grabbed his coat and offered to drive me to the school Without hesitation, I followed him into his car and made it back into my classroom with 2 minutes to spare before the bell! calm behavior and kind nature madeUpon arriving at the school, l thanked this man endlessly．His calm behavior and kind nature made me think he was probably a wonderful manager to work for, and also a wonderful human being to have on this earth．This experience makes me realize that out of every seemingly hopeless situation, there is the opportunity for acts of kindness to transpire（发生）'which can have an unimaginable impact（影响）on those who receive them.1. why did the author want to get a cup of coffee?A．Because he was very thirsty at that time．B．Because he was only interested in drinking coffeeC．Because he had to refresh himself for the classes in the afternoon.D．Because he wanted to do something special to pass the whole afternoon2. The author ．___ so he gave up the idea of going back to school on foot when he found his keys andphone were locked inside the carA．was too tired to walk furtherB．was afraid of falling down on iceC．asked the manager to call him a cabD．decided to take a school bus3．The author has probably stayed in the McDonald's for aboutA．15 minutes B．8-9 minutes C．4-5 minutes D．2 minutes4．What kind of person is the manager?A．Kind-hearted．B．Faithful．C．Gentle．D．DependableBAlmost everybody in America will spend a part of his or her life behind a shopping cart．They will, in a lifetime, push the chrome-plated contraptions many miles．But few will know - or even think to ask - who it was that invented them．Sylvan N．Goldman invented the shopping cart in 1937．At that time he was in the supermarket business．Every day he would see shoppers lugging groceries around in baskets they had to carry．One day Goldman suddenly had the idea of putting baskets on wheels．The wheeled baskets would make shopping much easier for his customers, and would help to attract more business．On June 4, 1937, Goldman's first carts were ready for use in his market．He was terribly excited on the morning of that day as customers began arriving．He couldn't wait to see them using his invention．But Goldman was disappointed．Most shoppers gave the carts a long look, but hardly anybody would give them a try．After a while, Goldman decided to ask customers why they weren't using his carts．"Don't you think this arm is strong enough to carry a shopping basket?" one shopper replied．But Goldman wasn't beaten yet．He knew his carts would be a great success if only he could persuade people to give them a try．To this end, Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market and pretend they were shopping! Seeing this．the real customers gradually began copying the phony （假冒的）customers．As Goldman had hoped, the carts were soon attracting larger and larger numbers to his market．But not only did more people come - those ．ho came bough, more. With larger easier-to-handle baskets, customers unconsciously bought a greater num e．of items than before.Tody's shopping carts are five times larger than Goldman’s original model．Perhaps reason America today spend more than five times as much money on food each year as they did before 1937 - before the coming of the shopping cart．5 What does the underlined words "chrome-plated contraptions" in the first paragraph refer to ?A．Baskets． B．Private cars．C．Suitcases．D．Shopping carts．6．What was the purpose of Goldman's invention?A．It was to prove him to be a good inventor．B．It was to reduce the burden of his employees' work．C．It was to make shopping easier and attract more business．D．It was to help the disabled make shopping easily in his market．7．Goldman hired a group of people to push carts around his market in order to ．A．attract people to buy things in his marketB．encourage people to use his shopping cartsC．make his market different from the othersD．keep the groceries from being stolen8．What can we infer from the last paragraph?A．Goldman will become very famous because of his invention．B．Goldman's invention will be regarded as the greatest one in the world．C. Supermarket business has benefited a lot from Goldman's invention．D There will be nothing that can replace Goldman's invention．CSmartphones really are addictive and the more you use one, the worse it gets．a new study has revealed．Psychology lecturer, Dr Zaheer Hussain, who conducted the research, found that the more you use a smartphone, the higher your risk of becoming addicted．He explained that higher scores of narcissism - denned as excessive （过度的）interest or admiration of oneself and one's physical appearance - is the most common and obvious sign of the addiction．An obsession（痴迷）with taking selfies and posting them on social media is one key indication.The study found that 13 percent of 256 participants were addicts．The average age of those who took part in the online survey was 29．As a result, the researchers say they believe it should be made compulsory that anyone selling smartphones should warn customers of their potentially addictive properties．Dr Hussain said: "The study informs us about smartphone overuse and the impact on psychological well-being．We now use smartphones on a daily basis and for various tasks so being aware of the psychological effects is very important．There are various smartphone apps such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Candy Crush, as well as Skype and email that make smartphone use psychologically more attractive and can lead to addiction．"The study also revealed the average user spent 3,6 hours per day on the device, and when the participants were asked if they used their phone in banned areas．35 percent answered yes．Social networking sites were the most popular used apps - 87 percen- followed by instant．messaging apps - 52 percent - and then news apps - 51 percent.Relationships were also noted in the researcb as, despite 46.8 percent of participants speaking positively of improved social relations. nearly a quarter admitted their smartphones create communication issues within "real life".Professor James Elander, Head of the Centre for Psychological Research at the University of Derby, said: "This study is a very timely one with much potential impact, and the findings show that users should be more aware of how they are using their smartphones and of the potential risks of excessive use."9. What does the underlined word "narcissism" in the second paragraph mean?A. Self-esteem.B. Self-love.C. Self-respect.D. Self-trust10. What's the attitude of Professor James Elander towards the research according to the last paragraph?A. Positive.B. NegativeC. NeutralD. Ambiguous1l. What can we learn from this passage?A. People are easy to be addicted to smartphones and can't live a normal life.B. Smartphone manufacturers should be responsible for the smartphone addictionC. Smartphone addiction has become a reality and people should take it seriously.D. Smartphones shouldn't be used to download and use smartphone apps.DWhere should an adventurous tourist go? After you've done sightseeing in London, shopping in New York tasted the local food in Paris, and danced to your heart's content at the Brazilian carnival, where else can you go? What exotic（异国的）tourist destination awaits you?Well, Antarctica sounds like the holiday of a lifetime! It's considered the last great wildemess on Earth. Just a few scientists in research stations share the icy landscape with penguins and other animals which can cope with the low temperatures.Tourism began in Antarctica in the 1950s and it's still small scale. About 37,000 tourists are expected there this season, but many won't even leave the boat.The BBC's Juliet Rix visited the frozen continent and asked herself if she should be there at all, causing potential problems to such a sensitive environment. Her tour guide admitted that all visitors leave a footprint and they all go to the same places, the accessible coastline, which is also where the penguins and seals go to breed.But some people believe that if carefully controlled, tourism can be good for Antarctica. It has no native population and it needs advocates. 'Visitors to the icy continent might be ready to support and even to fund its preservation. And they're likely to engage in the discussion about global warming, which has led to the melting of glaciers.According to Rix, guidelines are followed when you're about to set foot in Antarctica and tourists have to disinfect（消毒）their boots to make sure no alien species are introduced.And once on land, there's no eating or smoking. Rocks, bone fragments - nothing should be taken as a souvenir and nothing should be left behind. Tourists fortunate enough to visit the Antarctica must be aware that this is not their home and keep their fingers crossed that future generations will also be able to enjoy such breathtaking views.12．According to the second paragraph, we can learn that .A．Antarctica has become the best place for people to travelB．only scientists can be allowed to go to AntarcticaC．Antarctica is less affected by human activitiesD．no animals can survive in Antarctica except penguins13．Juliet Rix's travel in Antarctica mentioned in the fourth paragraph indicates thatA．governments should take measures to stop tourists from going to Antarctica '"B．whether tourists should go to Antarctica or not should be considered carefullyC．the animals- habitat in Antarctica has been seriously affected by tourismD．only journalists begin to pay attention to the environmental protection in Antarctica14．Which of the following statements is true according to Rix?A．Tourists can eat and smoke in Antarctica．B．Tourists can take something they like from Antarctica．C．Tourists can throw away something they don't need in Antarctica．D．Tourists can enjoy the beautiful scenery in Antarctica．15．Which of the following is the best title of this passage?A．Why can't tourists go to Antarctica?B．How can tourists go to Antarctica'?C．Should tourists go to Antarctica'?D．Are tourists allowed to "o to Antarctica'?第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
甘肃省张掖市2015年高三4月诊断考试英语试题及答案
张掖市高三年级2015年4月诊断考试英语试卷第Ⅰ卷第一部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
AMy son David, who was three and a half years old, taught me a beautiful lesson today. After we finished playing with the beads, David slowly picked up each bead, looking at them as if they were made of chocolate and then put them into the box they were stored in. With over a hundred beads to go , I was getting impatient. “Why could he not pick up 10 in one go and put them in? My morning was going to be ruined today!”But then it hit me like a brick. I noticed that he did this with as much interest as he had while we were playing. The boy was enjoying the whole process. For him the fun was in the game itself as well as in the process of properly picking up and cleaning up. It was not just about his turn or the fun part. Every bit was as fun as the other.I thought of myself as a kid when we would go out to play cricket(板球). If I was not batting(用球板击球) or bowling(投球) , I was unhappy as I impatiently waited for my turn to do so. As a result, I was unhappy while waiting for my turn and only happy for the few moments I either batted or bowled. Only the process of doing something I combined with happiness made me cheerful. The rest of the time I was waiting for my turn in the future or recalling great bowling from the past.Looking at how peacefully my son was putting beads in the box taught me that the process is the goal. The joy of journey is not in getting there but in every step of it.1. Why was the father getting upset?A. He wasn‟t interested in the game.B. It‟d take long to put away the beads.C. David put away the beads casually.D. His son didn‟t do it as he was told to.2. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A. I was hit by David with a brick.B. I felt very annoyed at what David did.C. I suddenly understood David‟s behavior.D. I was at a loss what to do with David.3. We can learn from the text that the author_____.A. felt satisfied with his teammatesB. happily watched his teammates playC. thought it a pleasure to win a matchD. was eager to join in the game4. What did the author learn from this experience?A. The proc ess was more important than the result.B. Happiness resulted from doing something pleasant.C. It was important for children to develop good habits.D. What children thought was different from what adults thought.BHave you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it? Are you afraid to ask a boy(girl)for a date?Many people are afraid to assert themselves(insist upon their own rights). Dr Robert Alberti, author of Stand Up, Speak out, and Talk Back , thinks it‟s because their self-esteem is low. “Our wh ole system of our society makes people doubt themselves,” says Alberti. “There‟s always a …superior‟ around—a parent, a teacher, a boss—who knows better”.But Alberti and other scientists are doing something to help people to assert themselves, they offer “assertiveness training” courses (AT). In the AT courses people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn to be aggressive without hurting other people.In one way, learning to speak out is to overcome fear. A group taking an AT course will help the timid person to lose his fear. But AT uses an even stronger motive—the need to share. The timid person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels. AT says you can get to feel good about yourself. And once you do, you can learn to speak out.5. The author asks some questions in the first paragraph in order to _____.A. find out the answersB. make a surveyC. introduce the topicD. ask for some advice6. In the passage, the writer talks about the problem that ______.A. some people are too easy-goingB. some people are too timidC. some people dare not stick up for their own rightsD. there are too many superiors around us7. The effect of the system of our society on people is often to ______.A. make them distrust their own judgmentB. make things more favorable for themC. keep them from speaking out as much as their superiors doD. help them to learn to speak up for their rights8. One thing A T doesn‟t do is to________.A. use the need of people to shareB. show people they have the right to be themselvesC. help people overcome fearD. help people to be aggressive at anytime even when others sufferCPlan on traveling around the USA? There are a number of outstanding websites that can make your American dream come true.http://www.101 This is the latest offering that features 101 holiday ideas to the USA. It‟s a diverse selection, ranging from touring in the footsteps of Martin Luther King to a golfing break in Arizona and a cycling and wine-tasting trip in California‟s Napa Valley. Narrow down what you‟re looking for- whether by price, region, theme and who will be traveling- and then just the photos of the relevant holidays remain on view. It‟s a really clever design.The National Scenic Byways Program covers 150 memorial roads. Some are natural scenic routes, such as Route 1 along the California coast. Others focus on history(such as Route 66) or man-made attractions(the Las Vegas Strip). For each, you‟re provided with a map telling the route‟s length and how long is allowed.This is the best website for reviews of hotels in US cities and tourist sites. There are photos of each hotel. Importantly, these are not promotional photos provided by the hotels, but more honest and revealing ones taken by inspectors. From the 243 hotels reviewed in New York, you can narrow down what you are looking for by locations, facilities and styles, or just pick out a selection of the best.SeaWorld in San Diego can make dreams come true, but the price is not affordable for the majority of people. So turn to long-established , giving big discounts on tickets, hotels and dining at SeaWorld.9. The text is probably from ______________.A. a science reportB. a news articleC. a book reviewD. a travel brochure10. Travel ideas for wine lovers are available at ________.A. http://by B. http://www.101 C. D. 11. What can be inferred form the text?A. Photos on http:// can be trusted by tourists.B. The National scenic Byways Program covers all American roads.C. is a newly established website.D. You can see some man-made attractions driving along Route 66.DOrdinary World by the late Chinese author Lu Yao has been adapted into a TV series. The novel was first published nearly three decades ago, and a previous attempt to bring the story to the small screen in 1989 failed. The 56-episode series has been aired on four channels since last month. It reportedly cost its makers 120 million yuan ($19.2 million) and took seven years to complete.In 1991, Lu's most famous work earned him the Mao Dun Literature Prize, one of China's most prestigious(有声望的) literary awards. In the next 20 years, almost 5 million copies of the novel were sold.Ordinary World took Lu six years to write, and he is said to have extensively researched Chinese newspapers printed from 1975 to 1985, making his book reflect the realities of the time and also add as much historical context as possible.From the perspective of two brothers' struggles, the novel mostly shows the lives of people in rural China from the mid-1970s to the 1980s.The book also draws from the author's own experiences of rural life in his native northwestern Shanxi province, where he once was a poor farmer's son. But he couldn't enjoy fame for long. He passed away at age 43, leaving his family to deal with an unpaid debt of more than 10,000 yuan.That his marital(婚姻的) life might have been in crisis too, was reportedly revealed later, when his brother told the medi a that the author had signed a draft agreement for divorce with his wife three months before his death, but the couple failed to make it legal owing to Lu's poor health.The TV series, however, still proves that Lu remains one of China's favorite storytellers. A recent survey shows the book as the "third-most borrowed book from college libraries", media report. As many as 31,000 short reviews connected to the novel are posted on Baidu Tieba, a popular Chinese online forum.In China, as most well-received TV shows these days revolve around themes such as urban romance and war, investors are slow to put in their money on productions that depict farmers and factory workers."The era was tough and poverty-stricken, but the people never stopped pursuing their dreams," the 33-year-old actor says of the setting in Lu's novel.12. Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?A. Ordinary world was first published nearly 30 years ago.B. Almost 5 million copies of Ordinary World were sold after it earned him the Mao Dun Literature Prize.C. Ordinary World mostly shows the lives of people in urban China from the mid-1970s to the 1980s.D. Ordinary World is set in the author‟s own experiences of rural life in his native northwestern ShanXiprovince。

AAfter a terrible electrical accident, which caused him to become both blind and deaf, the whole world became completely dark and quiet for Robert Edwards for almost ten years. The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life. His family, especially his wife, did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.One hot summer afternoon, he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once. He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet, but he was struck by the lightning. Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up some 20 minutes later lying face down in muddy water at the base of the tree. He was trembling badly, but when he opened his eyes, he could hardly believe what he saw: a plough and a wall. When Mrs. Edwards came running up to him, shouting to their neighbors to call for help, he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.The news of Robert regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread, and many doctors came to examine him. Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning. However, none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened. The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that, since Robert lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock, perhaps, the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock.1.The reason for Robert’s attempts to kill himself was that _________.A. a terrible traffic accident happened to himB. he had to live in a dark and silent worldC. he was struck by the lightning once moreD. nobody in the world cared about him2.What was Robert doing when he was struck by the lightning?A. Sheltering from the rain under a tree.B. Driving a car.C. Taking a walk with a stick.D.

Robert’s wife sent for doctors immediately after the shockD. a sudden injury in the head led to Robert’s recovery4.What’s the best title of the whole passage?A. A Terrible Electrical AccidentB.

He hardly ever wears a nec ktie. “I am working harder than ever.” David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.”More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work. In the United States, the change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday（but only on Friday）. This became known as “dress-down Friday”or “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing.” said business consultant Maisly Jones.Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code.” “A lot of young people don’t want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative （保守的）dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale（心境，士气）. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative influence on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress co de helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you canbuy a lot more casual clothes.”9. David Smith refers to himself as having been “a clothes addict,” because ________.A. he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirtB. he couldn’t stand a clean ap pearanceC. he wanted his clothes to look neat all the timeD. he didn’t want to spend much money on clothes10.David Smith wears casual clothes now, because__________.A. they make him feel at ease when workingB. he cannot afford to buy expensive clothesC. he looks handsome in casual clothesD. he no longer works for any company11.In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned EXCEPT __________.A. saving employees’ moneyB. making employees more attractiveC. improv ing employees’ motivationD. making employees happierDIn Los Angeles, drivers spend sixty-one hours every year stuck in traffic. These drivers know all too well how bad the traffic can be. “There're too many cars, and you can't move around a lot.”Professor Cyrus Shahabi also knows about traffic jams. He lives more than 65 kilometers from his office at the University of Southern California, in Los Angeles. He is always late even with the help of a navigation (导航) system.He decided to develop a program called ClearPath for that. He says his program uses historical data to predict traffic conditions even before the driver leaves the house.“What’s unique is that we use a lot of data that’s currently become available including traffic data, weather data, and we analyze that so that we can predict what's going to happen in front of you when you leave home.”Professor Shahabi says his system does more than just respond to current traffic conditions. With ClearPath, he says, a driver can decide what time he wants to leave, and ClearPath will give the fastest route. It looks at the entire road network, including surface streets as well as highways, before the driver hits the road. Professor Shahabi hopes to have ClearPath available nationwide and overseas once they can collect traffic data from other cities.“I always thought that Los Angeles had the worst traffic, but now I know that Shanghai, Beijing, Seoul, Tokyo, believe it or not, Singapore, Hong Kong certainly are examples that can immediately use this. ”Professor Shahabi hopes to share this new technology with companies that already have navigation systems, such as Google and Apple.12.Drivers in Los Angeles were mentioned in order to__________.A. show care for themB. introduce their lifeC. solve traffic problemsD. raise the topic13.What is unique about ClearPath?A. It can use a lot of information all over the world.B. It can ensure that you will never be late for work.C. It helps drivers see clearly what happens on the road.D. It helps drivers know the road conditions ahead of time.14.The underlined word “hits” in the fifth paragraph probably means __________.A. have an accidentB. get toC. turn left or rightD. collect traffic data15.What's Professor Shahabi’s attitude toward his invention?A. Disappointed.B. Proud.C. Optimistic.D. Worried. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

第I卷（选择题，共85分）第一部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）第一节（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
ATaking exams in a large group setting can be stressful for students and for the staff members who are watching over them. When classrooms are crowded and desks are close together, cheating might be tempting.One university in Thailand came up with an anti-cheating hat that makes it almost impossible for students to see otherstudents’ papers. A photo of the students wearing the anti-cheating hats made its way to the internet, and the university was criticized for making students wear those ridiculous looking homemade hats. The hats were made by stapling two pieces of paper onto a headband, one to each side of the head.After being criticized, senior academic staff at Kasetsart University in Bangkok, Thailand, released a statement saying that the hats idea came from students. They said that in a bid to prevent cheating they asked the students for ideas on how to prevent cheating in the upcoming exam, which was being taken by almost one hundred students. Students came up with different ideas, then the paper hat idea was selected by them as the most fit. The university claims that no-one was forced to use the hat, but they all chose to d o so. “When wearing the hat during the exam, students felt more relaxed,” Nattadon Rungruangkitkrai, a lecturer at the university said.“It was not meant to indicate that Kasetsart students often cheat on exams. I apologize if the photo makes other people l ook at my students in a negative way,’ Rungruangkitkrai added.1. Why was the university criticized on the Internet?A．The homemade anti-cheating hat looked too simple.B．Wearing the anti-cheating hat made students look ridiculous.C．Wearing the anti-cheating hats couldn’t prevent students from cheating in the exam.D．The university forced students to wear the anti-cheating hat.2. What’s most of the Kasetsart University students’ attitude towards the cheating hat?A. skepticalB. supportiveC. objectiveD. negative3. It can be inferred from the passage that_______.A. It’s useless wearing the anti-cheating hat in the exam.B. Kasetsart students are often caught cheating in the exam.C. Wearing the anti-cheating hat is effective in some degree.D. Some students are forced to wear the anti-cheating hat.BWe know that sugary sodas aren’t good for our b odies. Now it turns out that they may not be good for our minds, either. A new study of more than 260,000 people has found a link between sweetened soft-drinks and depression, and diet sodas may be making matters worse.Americans drink far more sodas than people in other countries—as much as 170 liters per person per year. But the impact of this study isn’t limited to the United States. “Sweetened drinks, coffee and tea are commonly consumed worldwide and have important physical consequences. And they may have important mental-health consequences as well,” study author Dr Honglei Chen said in a statement.The study studied 263,925 people between the ages of 50 and 71. Researchers followed their consumption of drinks like soda, tea coffee, and other soft drinks from 1995 to 1996 and then. 10 years later, asked them if they had been diagnosed with depression since the year 2000. More than 11,3000 of them had.Participants who drank more than four servings of sodas per day were 30 percent more likely to develop depression than participants who did not drink sodas at all. People who stuck with fruit punch(鸡尾酒), had a 38 percent higher risk than people who didn’t drink sweetened drinks. And all that extra sugar isn’t the actual problem. Researchers say that the artificial sweetener aspartame may be to blame.The study found a link but could not surely determine whether sodas and other sweet soft drinks cause depression. Still, the results “are consistent with a small but growing body of evidence suggesting that artificially sweetened beverages may be linked to poor health outcomes.”But there’s a bright side for those who can’t live without their daily sodas. Adults who drank coffee had a 10 percent lower risk of depression compared to people who didn’t drink any coffee, according to the study. “Our research suggests that cutting out or down on sweetened diet drinks or replacing them with unsweetened coffee may naturally help lower your depression risk,” said Chen.4．What has the new study of more than 260,000 people found?A. Sugary sodas aren’t good for the physical health of old people.B. Americans have a special tooth for sweet foods.C. Sweetened soft-drinks may increase the risk of depression.D. Sweetened soft-drinks have important physical consequences.5．What do we know about the process of the study?A. About twenty-six thousand people participated in it.B. The oldest participants were below 80 when the study was over.C. Most of the participants had depression when the study was over.D. The study lasted more than ten years from the beginning to the end.6．It is implied in the passage that ______.A. more research is needed to confirm the new findingsB. the new findings aren’t consistent with any previous findingsC. cutting one’s sodas intake will surely reduce one’s depressionD. the new findings won’t have an impact on people’s drinking habits7．What should you drink in order to reduce the risk of depression?A.Sodas.B.Unsweetened coffee.C.Sugary coffee.D.Fruit punch.CI must have been about fourteen then, and I put away the incident from my mind with the easy carelessness of youth. But the words, Carl Walter spoke that day, came back to me years later, and ever since have been of great value to me.Carl Walter was my piano teacher. During one of my lessons he asked how much practicing I was doing. I said three or four hours a day.“Do you practice in long stretches, an hour at a time?”“I try to.”“Well, don’t,” he said loudly. “When you grow up, time won’t come in long stretches. Practice in minutes, whenever you can find them five or ten before school, after lunch, between household tasks. Spread the practice through the day, and piano-playing will become a part of your life.”When I was teaching at Columbia, I wanted to write, but class periods, theme-reading, and committee meetings filled my days and evenings. For two years I got practically nothing down on paper, and my excuse was that I had no time. Then I remembered what Carl Walter had said. During the next week I conducted an experiment. Whenever I had five minutes unoccupied, I sat down and wrote a hundred words or so. To my astonishment, at the end of the week I had a rather large manuscript (手稿) ready for revision. Later on I wrote novels by the same piecemeal (零碎的) method. Though my teaching schedule had become heavier than ever, in every day there were moments which could be caught and put to use.There is an important trick in this time-using principle: you must get into your work quickly. If you have but five minutes for writing, you can’t afford to waste it in chewing your pencil. You must make your mental preparations beforehand, and concentrate on your task almost instantly when the time comes. Fortunately, rapid concentration is easier than most of us realize.I admit I have never learnt how to let go easily at the end of the five or ten minutes. But life can be counted on to supply interruptions. Carl Walter has had a significant influence on my life. To him I owe the discovery that even very short periods of time add up to all useful hours I need, if I throw myself into it without delay.8. The meaning of “stretch” in the underlined part is the same as that in the sentence “ ”.A. The dog woke up, had a good stretch and wandered off.B. Bob worked as a government official for a stretch of over twenty years.C. My family wasn’t wealthy by any stretch of the imagination.D. This material has a lot of stretch in it.9. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The author didn’t take the teacher’s words to heart at first.B. Rapid concentration is more difficult than people imagine.C. The author thanked his teacher for teaching him to work in long stretches.D. Carl Walter has influenced the writer greatly since he was a student.10. We can infer that the author________.A. has new books published each year however busy his teaching isB. is tired of interruptions in life because he always has much workC. has formed a bad habit of chewing a pencil while writing his novelsD. makes mental preparations beforehand so as to focus on work quickly11. What is probably the best title for this text?A. Concentrate on Your WorkB. A Little at a TimeC. How I Became a WriterD. Good AdviceDToday, people all over the world are moving out of small villages in the country to go and live in big, noisy cities. They are moving from the peaceful hills, mountains, fields, rivers and streams of the countryside to the busy world of streets, buildings, traffic and crowds. This movement from rural areas to urban areas has been going on for over two hundred years.In many countries, the main reason people come to live in towns and cities is work. After one or two large factories have been built in or near a town, people come to find work, and soon an industrial area begins to grow. There is usually a residential area nearby, too. The families of these workers need schools, hospitals and shops, so many people come to live in the area to provide these services and a city grows.In every major city in the world, there is a business district where the big companies have their main offices. In the United States, this area is usually in the city center downtown. It is here that you can see many huge skyscrapers and office blocks. The people who work here often travel a long way to work each day. Many of them live in the suburbs of the city, far away from the industrial area and the city center. Some suburbs are very pleasant, with nice house and big gardens. There are usually parks for children to play in and large department stores where you can buy all you need.But what is the future of the big cities? Will they continue to get bigger and bigger? Perhaps not. Some major cities have actually become smaller in the last ten years, and it is quite possible that one day we will see people moving out of the major cities and back into smaller towns and villages.12. The underlined phrase “a residential area” means an area______.A. where people can buy thingsB. which is suitable for living inC. where people can do businessD. which is near a city center13. Why do people move to live in cities or towns?A. Because they can live more comfortably there.B. Because they like noisy life better than peaceful life.C. Because they mainly want to find work there.D. Because they are sure of having a better life there.14. Which of the following statement is NOT true about the business district?A. Big companies usually have their main offices in the business district.B. People usually work and live in the business district.C. A business district usually lies in the city center downtown.D. Nearly every major city has its own business district.15. We can infer that this movement from rural to urban areas_____.A. has been going on for more than 2,000 years.B. will surely continue in the futureC. may not continue in the futureD. has now stopped already第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑．ANext year marks the 150th anniversary of when large numbers of Chinese started working on a huge project in the United States. They help to build America’s first transcontinental railroad between 1863 and 1869, connecting the East Coast with the West.People know little about the Chinese railroad workers and what happened to them after the project was finished. Stanford University in California wants to learn more about the lives of these men by reaching out to their families.Bill Yee’s ancestors came from southern China. He said, “My great-great-grandfather came to America during th e‘gold rush’days and he returned to China as a wealthy man. And then my great-grandfather came to work on the railroad and died there.”But that did not stop his grandfather from coming to the US on false papers. He operated a laundry. Bill Yee’s father c ontinued to run the business and has never returned to China.“Things were pretty bad in some parts of China in the 1860’s. They came to America at all costs in order that they no longer had to bear hunger,” Bill Yee said.Shelley Fisher Fishkin is helping to direct the Chinese Railroad Workers in North America Project at Stanford University. She said, “Many of the Chinese workers who came to work on the transcontinental and other railroads returned to China after their work was done and created families there. Some of them settled in America and created new families, but they had families who they left when they came here and they may have descendants in China.”There is a need to create a record of the object and spoken history from the families of the railroad workers.“The US could not have become the modern industrial nation without the railroads. And the railroads would not have come together without the work of these Chinese workers,” said Shelley Fisher Fishkin.【文章综述】文章讲述了Bill Yee的祖先很早就到了美国，做过铁路工人，后来他的爷爷在那开了洗衣店，父亲继承爷爷的事业再也没有回国。

AWe were moving to a new state after my husband had been out of work for many months and we had no money. In fact, we had to borrow money to reach our destination town. Anyway, it was my husband, two boys aged four and two, and myself, seven months pregnant (怀孕), in an old V olvo station wagon. We had been driving for two days in the middle of winter (that car’s heater didn’t work), and we had taken a route that was very desolate. There was nothing around for miles－no cars, buildings or signs of civilization. Suddenly, our car started losing power and the gauges(汽油表) went all out of order. We saw a light in the distance and managed to roll to a stop in front of this property that looked like a small simple house. Our cell phones had not gotten reception for ma ny miles, and it was freezing outside, so I didn’t know if we were going to make it out of this situation alive. My husband g ot out of the car to see if there was something he could do to get us rolling again, but it was not looking good. A short while later, a man came out of the house and spoke with my husband a bit before inviting us all into his home. He and his wife took us in, fed us, and made us feel at home as we struggled to find some way to get to our destination, which was still a few hours’ drive away. We were able to call a friend and get a ride, leaving our broken car behind, but not before the couple gave us food and water for our journey. One week later, this dear sweet couple pulled our car all the way to our place and refused to take anything in return, except for us to pay it forward－and we have, and will continue to do it forever.1. We can learn from the text that the family________.A. had a hopeless futureB. was in financial difficultyC. suffered from a company crashD. wanted to turn to their relatives for help2. The underlined word “ desolate” probably mean________.A. desertedB. advancedC. smoothD. muddy3. Knowing that the wagon had broken down, the author________.A. called her friend several miles away for helpB. stopped the car in front of a simple service stationC. was afraid that they couldn’t overcome the difficultyD. encouraged her husband and children to be confident4. We can learn from the text that the family___________.A. got out of their financial difficultyB. met with more troubles after thatC. came back to thank the couple who had helped themD. followed the couple’s example in return for their helpBElectric cars are dirty．In fact, not only are they dirty, they might even be more dirty than their gasoline-powered cousins．People in California love to talk about “zero-emissions（排放）vehicles,”but people in California seem to be clueless about where electricity comes from．Power plants mostly use fire to make it．Aside from the few folks who have their roofs covered with solar cells, we get our electricity from generators（发电机）．Generators are fueled by something —usually coal, oil, but also by heat generated in nuclear power plants．There are a few wind farms and geothermal（地热的）plants as well, but by far we get electricity mainly by burning something．In other words, those “zero-emissions”cars are likely coal-burning cars．It's just because the coal is burned somewhere else , so it looks clean．It is not．It’s as if the California greens are covering their eyes—“If I can’t see it, it’s not happening.”Gasoline is an unbelievably efficient way to power a vehicle; a gallon of gas has a lot of energy in it．But when you take that gas（or anotherfuel）and first use it to make electricity, you waste a nice part of that energy, mostly in the form of wasted heat—at the generator, through the transmission lines, etc．A gallon of gas may propel your car 25 miles．But the electricity you get from that gallon of gas won't get you nearly as far —so electric cars burn more fuel than gas-powered ones．If our electricity came mostly from nukes, or geothermal, or hydro, or solar, or wind, then an electric car truly would be clean．But for political, technical, and economic reasons, we don’t use much of those energy sources．In addition, electric cars’batteries which are poisonous for a long time will eventually end up in a landfill（垃圾）and finally, when cars are the polluters, the pollution is spread across all the roads．When it’s a power plant, though, all the junk is in one place．Nature is very good at cleaning up when things are not too concentrated, but it takes a lot longer when all the garbage is in one spot．5. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Electric cars are not clean at allB. Electric cars are better than gasoline-powered onesC. People have doubts about electric cars’ batteriesD. Gasoline is an effective way to power a vehicle6. The underlined words “ be clueless” mean___________A. know nothingB. have confidenceC. feel excitedD. be pleased7. The electricity we get from a gallon of gas may make our car run ________A. not less than 25 milesB. as far as 50 milesC. as far as 25 milesD. not more than 25 miles8. According to the passage, electric cars__________A. are more environmentally friendlyB. burn more fuel than gas-powered onesC. are very good at cleaning upD. are poisonous for a long timeCSuleman DawoodSchool of Business"Become a part of the community dedicated to excellence and knowledge creation."Lahore University of Management Science is a premier institution known for its academy excellence.

For colleagues in the East, the pain is more likely to come through a pay cut.Human resource experts say cultural differences explain why Asian companies try harder to preserve jobs in difficult times, which will prevent unemployment and may help Asian economies survive at a time of slowing exports. The East Asian attitude may also make it easier for companies to recover quickly from the economic downturn since they will not need to rehire or train new staff, but build up a more loyal and devoted group."In the Confucian mindset(儒家思想), the right thing to do is to share the burden, which is the sense of collective responsibility. While in the West, it's more about individual survival," said Michael Benoliel, associate professor of organizational behavior at Singapore Management University (SMU).In contrast, local Western companies from General Motors to Goldman Sachs plan to lay off workers by the thousands, but at the Asian units of Western multinationals or western units of Asian groups, job cuts will probably be less severe.Japan's jobless rate was 4 percent in September, up from 3.8 percent in January, while Hong Kong's was flat at 3.4 percent. But US unemployment is expected to have jumped to 6.3 percent last month from below 5 percent in January.Experts say that while there are noticeable differences in labor practices in East and West, the gap will narrow as more firms become more multinational and competition forces firms to adopt the best practices of rivals(对手) from abroad.12. The underlined word "prospect" in the first paragraph most probably means _________.A. futureB. sceneC. weatherD. place13. Compared with job cuts, pay cuts can bring the following benefits EXCEPT that _________.A. it's helpful to the economy recoveryB. it can form a team working harder and more loyallyC. it will keep the experienced and skilled workersD. it costs the company less money to survive14.
