AArriving in Sydney on his own India, my husband, Rashid, stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.He reported the case to the police and then sat there, lost and lonely in a strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can(垃圾桶) that had been left out on the footpath.My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign address on most of the documents. At last they had seen a halt-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored out faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often senda warm wish their way.1.What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney?A.Go shoppingB.Find a houseC.Join his familyD.Take a vacation2.The girl’s family got Rashid’s phone number from________.A.a friend of his familyB. a Sydney policemanC. a letter in his papersD.a stranger in Sydney3.What does the underlined word”restored” in the last paragraph mean?A.ShowedB.Sent outC.DeliveredD.Gave back4.Which of the following can be the best title of the text?A.From India to AustraliaB.Living in a New CountryC.Turning Trash to TreasureD.In Search of New FriendsBSince the first Earth Day in 1970, Americans have gotten a lot “greener” toward the environment..“We didn’t know at that time there even was an environment, let alone that there was a problem with it,” says Bruce Ander son, president of Earth Day USA.But what began as nothing important in public affairs has grown into a social movement. Business people, politics leaders, university professions, and especially millions of grass-roots Americans are taking part in the move ment. “The understanding has increased many, many times,” says Gaylord Nelson, the former governor from Wisconsin, who thought up the first Earth Day.According to US government reports, emissions(排放) from cars and trucks have dropped from 10.3 million tons a year 5.5 million tons. The number of cities producing CO beyond the standard has been reduced from 40 to 9. although serious problems still remain and need to be dealt with, the world is a safer and healthier place. A kind if “thinking” has become part of practices.Great improvement has been achieved. In 1988 there were only 600 recycling programs; today in 1995 there are about 6,600. Advanced lights, motors, and building designs have helped save a lot of energy and therefore prevented pollution.Twenty-five years ago, there were hardly any education programs for environment. Today, it’s hard to find a public school, university that does not have such a kind of program. “Until we do that, nothing else will change! ” says Bruce Anderson.5.According to Anderson, before 1970, Americans had little idea about ______.A.the social movementB.recycling techniquesC.environmental problemsD.the importance of Earth Day6.Where does the support for environmental protection mainly come from?A.The grass-rootsB.The business circlesernment officialsD.University professors7.What have Americans achieved in environment protection?A.They have cut car emissions to the lowest.B.They have settled their environment problems.C.They have lowered their CO levels in forty cities.D.They have reduced pollution through effective measures.8.What is especially important for environmental protection according to theparagraph？cationB.PlanningC.Green livingD.CO reductionCOne of the latest trends in American childcare is Chinese au paris. Au Pair in STAMFORD, Conn, for example, has got increasing numbers of requests for Chinese au pairs from zero to 4,000 since 2004. And that’s true all across the country.“I thought it would be very useful for him to learn Chinese at an early age,” Joseph Stocke, the managing director of a company, says of his 2-year-old son.”I would at least like to hive him the chance to use the language i n the future.’ After only six months of being cared for by a 25-year-old woman from china, the boy can already understand basic Chinese daily expressions, his dad says.Li Drake, a Chinese native raising two children in Minnesota with an American husband, had another reason for looking an au pair from china: she didn’t want her children to miss out on their roots. “because I am a Chinese, my husband and I wanted the children to keep exposed to the language and culture,” she says“Staying with a native speaker is better for children than simply sitting in a classroom,” says Suzanne Flynn, a professor in language education of children. “but parents must understand that just learning until the age of 10 or 12.”The popularity of au pairs from china has been strengthened by the increasing numbers of American parents who want their children to learn Chinese. It is expected that American demand for au pairs will continue to rise in the next few years.9.What does the term”au pair”in the text mean?A.A mother raising her children on her ownB. A child learning a foreign language at homeC. A professor in language education of childrenD.D.A young foreign woman taking care of children10.Li Drake has her children study Chinese because she wants them____A.To live in china some dayB.To speak the language at homeC.To catch up with other childrenD.To learn about the Chinese culture11.What can we learn from the text?A.Learning Chinese is becoming popular in Americacated women do better in looking after childrenC.Chinese au pairs need to improve their English skillsD.Children can learn a foreign language well in six monthsDMetro Pocket GuideMetrorail(地铁)Each passenger need a farecard to enter and go out.

It is vital for us to raise awareness about the significanceof protecting our environment and taking action to preserve it for future generations.Firstly, pollution caused by industrial activities and the excessive use of natural resources have led to serious consequences such as air and water pollution, deforestation, and loss of biodiversity. This not only harms human health but also endangers the balance of ecosystems. Therefore, it is crucial for governments and individuals to implement measures to reduce pollution and promote sustainable development.Secondly, climate change is a global issue that affects everyone on the planet. The rise in greenhouse gas emissions has resulted in global warming, leading to extreme weather events, melting ice caps, and rising sea levels. To mitigate the effects of climate change, we must reduce our carbon footprint by using renewable energy sources and adopting eco-friendly practices.In conclusion, environmental protection is essential for the survival of our planet and all living organisms.

As a psychologist for more than twenty years I can tell you that I have never had an adult looking back at her childhood and complaining that her parents were too understanding. And similarly, I have met many divorced people who still love each other but yet they never really understood each other.The painful reality is love is just not enough. I’ll admit that there are people who I love and who I still need to better understand. I hope I will continue my work to understand them. The willingness to understand is very important. It is not always easy,but healthy love is strengthened by the willingness to understand. Love without understanding will wilt like flowers without water.Our egos are what seem to get in the way of understanding those who we love and care about. Often it is our need to be right that makes what others think and feel so wrong for us. I have certainly been quite guilty of this in some of my relationships.As I have written repeatedly in my books, empathy , is truly the emotional glue that holds all close relationships together. Empathy allows us to slow down and try to walk in the shoes of those we love. The deeper our empathy, the deeper---the healthier---our love. Not all relationships are meant to be. Yet all relationships that are meant to flourish in a healthy way, must stress understanding just as much, if not more, than love.61. From the passage, we know that _____.A.the author complains about her parents’ being too understandingB.the author has been studying marriage for more than 20 yearsC.People divorced mainly because they didn’t love each otherD.Some people divorced because they couldn’t understand each other62. Why are we unable to understand the others sometimes?A. Because we are caring the others too much.B. Because it is quite difficult to understand the others.C. Because we believe we are always rightD. Because the others have done something wrong63. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Understanding is more important to parenting relationships than to other intimate relationships.B. Understanding is less important than love as far as marriage is concerned.C. Understanding is more important than love to some degree.D. Understanding is more often neglected in parenting relationship.64. If we are to understand our parents, we should firstly _____.A.have willingness to do soB.have love for themC.get into connection with themD.care about them65. In this passage, the expression “walk in the shoes of” is similar in meaning to ____.A.befriendB.understandC.loveD.care aboutPassage TwoFinally, the Christmas season is over. We can take a long breath, put up our feet, sip from a cup of good tea and relax. The frenzy, starting from Black Friday right after Thanksgiving until Christmas Eve, of gift shopping, buying, wrapping, giving, receiving, opening, returning...is exhaustive and time---consuming, but it takes place every year.There is considerable difference between the cultures in China and western countries when it comes to gift giving. In China, it is not polite to open a gift in front of the gift giver, and gift is only looked at after the guest has left. Here in America, gift givers always wrap their gifts, large or small, priceless or valueless, carefully and decorate them with colorful ribbons and little pretty paper flowers; and the lucky receiver is expected to open the gift right away in front of the giver, with great eagerness and curiosity, and should always express appreciation with the all time truthful comment,“this is just exactly what I wanted!” Well, as a matter of fact, most people would take their“always wanted” gifts back to the store to exchange for something they really wanted.Finding a gift for somebody, even a close family member, you will have to know what the person likes and shop for days before you can locate the perfect gift. But , still the person may not like the gift from you. Nowadays, stores would provide two copies of the receipts for anything they sell as a gift, one of which is included in the gift packaged so that the receiver can come back for an exchange. I know, it was unthinkable to cash out gift you get, but, times are different. Another good way to avoid all that shopping hassle is to purchase a gift card from one of the stores and send it to your niece, nephews, or a family member, so that they can get whatever they want or even keep the money.66. Finding a gift for somebody is a(n) _____.A.easy jobB.tough taskC.must-be jobD.arranged task67. It is quite _____ for Chinese people to open the gift in front of the givers.ualB.normalC.abnormalD.unusual68. Gift giving is the same thing in China and America in that _____.A.people spend a lot of time preparing a giftB.People would cash out the gift immediatelyC.People are eager to open to get a gift from a friendD.People are less willing to give gifts.69. Which of the following is the author’s suggestion?A. Open a gift immediately in front of the giver.B. Wrap the gift carefully.C. Express the appreciation for the gift you receive.D. Buying a present card to avoid the trouble in shopping70. The author’s attitude towards gift giving is_____.A.indifferentB.protestingC.objectiveD.supportivePassage ThreeThey already guide blind and disabled people ;now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia(痴呆).The duties of these “guide dogs for the mind” will include reminding their owners to take medication, as well as encouraging them to eat , drink and sleep at regular intervals.The dementia dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers in the home that prompt them to perform tasks .These could include delivering a bite-proof bag of medicine with a note inside reminding the patient to take it , or waking them up in the morning.The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer’s Seotland and Dogs for the disabled.Joyee Gray of Alzheimer’s Scotland said:“People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relativ e normal life , and dogs help to maintain routine .”The other advantage of using the pets as companions is that conversation can be increasingly confusing for people with Alzheimer’s ,but dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship . Pe ople light up when they can see animals .They don’t need to communicate verbally but they can still interact . You can have a speechless bond .The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks ,ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people .71.As is mentioned in the passage ,the guide dogs will do the following except for ____ .A.helping ensure the owner doing some exercisesB.reminding the owner to take medicinemunicating with the owner in a non-verbal wayD.helping the owner recover from the illness72.Who will train the dogs to perform such tasks?A.The students who developed the idea.B.The owners of the dogs.C.The experts in Alzheimer’s Scotland .D.It is not mentioned in the passage .73.What is true about the people suffering from dementia?A.They would like to stay with other people.B.They can maintain routine .C.They will gradually lose the ability to live a normal life .D.They would like to talk in a different way .74.The guide dogs helping the people with dementia will ___.A.respond to the owners orderB.respond to a sound deviceC.act on the owners instructionsD.act on the trainers order75.Having a conversation with people with dementia will be ___.A.difficultB.interestingC.confusing D .encouragingPassage FourIt seems obvious that you don’t give away your product for free but this is exactly what indie rock group The Crimea did earlier this year. The band’s reasoning goes like this: more people will download the free album than would pay for it. Therefore, more people will hear The Crimea’s music. These people will then pay money for concerts by the band and perhaps buy a T-shirt or other merchandise. If the band play regular concerts to crowds of 200 or 300 people they can make more money than they would from sales of CD. There will always be somepeople who want something they can hold in their hands so they will release the CD into the shops too---but making money through sales of their music i sn’t the top priority.The story illustrates the creative thinking going on in their music in response to dramatic changes over the last few years in the way that people buy music. Sales of music digitally ---to computer, phone and MP3 players rose to $2 billion in 2006---an increase of almost 100 percent on the previous year---yet overall record company sales are down. People are simply not buying CDs in record shops in anything like the numbers they used to.This trend looks set to continue so the big questions for the music industry is whether they can successfully manage the move to being primarily a digital industry without profits falling to unacceptable levels.There are both positive and negative signs. On the plus side, more and more people are buying music by mobile phones, which allows people to make impulse purchases---they can buy a song as soon as they hear it. Research by the UK mobile operator 3 suggested that 75 percent of 16 to 24-year-olds wanted to buy a track they liked as soon a s they heard it. With so much competition for people’s disposable income, a product you can sell immediately is a big advantage.The bad news for the record companies, however, is the amount of music that is downloaded illegally. Piracy---usually in the form of cheaply copied CD---has long been an issue for the music business but the internet means music can be copied and distributed freely through file-sharing sites on a large scale than ever before.It is this situation that leads bands to start giving away their music for free and promises to make the next few years a very interesting time in the music business.76.What is unusual abou t the Crimea’s business plan ?A.Their business was given away free on the Internet .B.They gave CDs away free in shops .C.They played free concerts.D.They charged more for their CDs.77.The Crimea hope to make money___.A.through CD salesB.by giving concerts and selling T-shirts and other merchandiseC.by selling merchandise on the InternetD.through sales of merchandise in shops78.The Crimea also released CDs for sale in shops because ___.A.people who attend their concerts need themB.they want to make extra moneyC.there are still people who prefer CDs to other formatsD.people who fail to attend their concerts need them79.What is true about sales of music over the last year?A.Overall,sales are up on last year.B.Overall,sales are down on last year.C.There is no change compared to previous salesD.It is not mentioned in the passage.80.What effect has internet had on music piracy?A.It is made it easier to fight piracyB.It has increased the number of pirate CDs available.C.It has made it easier to illegally copy music.D.It has reduced the number of pirate CDs available.Part IV TranslationSection A81.她喜欢看书时听音乐。

Early folk toys were made of natural materials 28 wood, cloth, metal, earth, and 29 found materials. Wood was often used 30 it was available, easily worked, and required no painting. Toys were considered unimportant, so 31 was written about them. A parent made toys for a child, or children themselves made toys. The toys often were 32 made and used action movements. Traditionally, fathers and boys have been most interested in 33 toys, while mothers and girls have 34 dolls and needlework.Folk toys include action toys, models, games, puzzles, and dolls.

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Text 1Today there are three different kinds of New Yorkers: the people who act as if they were born here; the people who are here and wish to be elsewhere; and the collection of virtual New Yorkers all over the world, who wish they were living in New York. These are the three states of mind and what they have in common are longing and illusion. In fact, it' s a city of dreamers.What makes New York special? New Yorkers are convinced of its specialness--but Toronto is more diverse, London is larger, Washington is more powerful. So why does New York think it' s the capital of the world?People often explain the problems in European cities by citing inequality. But New York today is one of the most unequal cities in America. In 2010, 1 percent of New Yorkers earned 45 percent of its income. That works out to an average of $ 3.7 million a year for the city' s top 34,500households. The average daily income of this group is greater than the average annual income of the city's bottom 10 percent.So why would people still come to try their luck in this tough place? Is it opportunity or illusion that draws them?They come because any newcomer can find a place in the hierarchy of New York. If you look at a New York City restaurant, for example, the cook might be French, the people washing dishes might be Mexican, the hostess might be Russian, the owner might be British. They are not all equal. They earn different rates. But they work together to get food to hungry people.What New York demonstrates is this: immigration works. The city can use its immigrants, even the illegal ones. Though they broke the law by illegally crossing the borders, the city' s economy would be a shell of itself had they not, and it would collapse if they were deported. Attracted here by the founding myth of the city, each immigrant is seeking to escape from history, personal and political. For him, New York is the city of the second chance.46. The writer mentions the three kinds of New Yorkers to stress that_______.[ A ] they share the same longing [ B ] they are in pursuit of dreams[ C ] they are proud of their birthplace [ D ] they wish to live in another place47. In the eyes of New Yorkers, their city is______[ A ] powerful[ B ] diverse[ C ] special[ D ] large48. The figures in paragraph 3 are given to show that New York_________[ A ] favors the lucky [ B ] favors the locals[ C ] is a city of inequality [ D ] is a city of opportunities49. People keep coming to New York because they can find jobs that_______[ A ] challenge them [ B ] suit them well[ C ] pay them well [ D ] raise their status50. It is implied in the text that New York is_________[ A ] a tolerant city [ B ] a wealthy city[ C ] a mythical city [ D ] a historical cityText 2We' ve read how babies stare longer and cry less when held by pretty people, and heard tales of handsome children doing better in school, given special attention by their teachers. In life, as in love, beautiful people seem to have it awfully easy. But what if we told you that when it comes to online dating, good looks could actually hurt you?According to a recent survey of 43,000 users by OK Cupid, an online dating site, the more men disagree about a woman' s looks, the more they end up liking her. What does that mean for ladies looking for a match? " We now have mathematical evidence that minimizing your 'weaknesses' is the opposite of what you should do," says the site's co-founder, ChristianRudder. "If you' re a little fat, play it up. If you have a big nose, play it up. Statistically, the guys who don't like it can only help you, and the ones who do like it will be all the more excited. "The results of this study end up highlighting an idea that recent scientific research does indeed support. Which is this: the beautiful may have it good, but online, as in work and life, women who are too attractive don't always have an advantage.Beauty creates more competition--among women, taught they must out-look each other for men and jobs and everyday satisfaction; and among men, who are competing for the most attractive prize. All of which might help explain why 47 percent of corporate recruiters believe it' s possible for a woman to suffer for being "too good-looking" ; why attractive women tend to face heightened examination from their female peers; or, finally, why men on OK Cupid end up contacting women who may ultimately be less attractive--because it removes the opposition. "If you suspect other men are uninterested, it means less competition," explains Rudder. "You might start thinking: maybe she' s lonely.., maybe she' s just waiting to find a guy who appreciates her.., at least I won't get lost in the crowd. "In the end, being beautiful will always have its blessings--but sometimes, there' s more to an advantage than meets the eye.51. It is generally believed that beautiful people[ A] have less difficulty in life [ B ] are less worried about love[ C ] pay less attention to others [ D ] like to gaze at lovely babies52. The OK Cupid survey found that men' s arguments over a woman' s looks_____[A ] have little meaning [ B ] benefit online dating[ C ] will actually hurt her [ D ] add to her popularity53. Christian Rudder advises women to_______[ A] play up their physical advantages [ B ] view their popularity scientifically[ C ] highlight their physical weaknesses [ D ] accept guys who are willing to help54. The attitude of women toward their attractive peers is______[ A ] critical [ B ] friendly[ C ] conservative [ D ] straightforward55. The main idea of the text is that a woman' s good looks_______[ A ] help to shape ideas of beauty [ B ] can put her at a disadvantage[ C ] end up with blessings for her [ D ] will always appeal to the eyeText 3Camps have always reflected children's dreams and parents' fears. In the 1880s, many middle-class families worried that industrial society had broken off some tie to the frontier. Boys were growing soft: too much time with their mothers and teachers, not enough manly activity. So the early camps promised to take weakly boys out into camp life in the woods so that the pursuit of health could be combined with the practical knowledge.Those first campers were wilderness tourists; today a wilderness is anyplace without band-width. Allowing cell phone contradicts the point of sleep away camp: if 19th century campers were meant to regain lost survival skills, 21st century campers need to work on their social skill. They are often missing some basic interactive instruments; fantastically digitally aware, they are less familiar with the ideas of sharing their space, their stuff or the attention of the adults around them. For kids who are allowed to text during dinner, who have their parents whenever they get in trouble or need a ride, a little self-government is probably long overdue.Most camps require kids to leave their phones at home, which shows that the resistance often comes not from the kids but from parents. It's known that parents pack off their children with two cell phones, so they can hand over one and still be able to slip away and call. Parents question camp directors about why they can' t reach their kids by phone. Some services let camps post news and pictures to help the families feel as if they are with the kids at camp. But that just invites inquiry about why Johnny looks sad or how Jenny' s jeans got torn.Even as they yield in varying degrees to the demands of parents, camps endeavor to tell us our kids need a break from our eager interest and exhausting expectations. Camps talk about building independence, argue that having kids learn to solve their own problems and turn to peers and counselors for support is a key part of the experience. The implications are clear. They' re lighting campfires, hiding and seeking, doing things that feel wonderfully improper if just because they involve getting dirtier than usual. Nothing to worry about,Mom.56. The whole point of camp in the 19th century is to[ A] acquire the lost survival skills [ B ] escape from industrial society [ C ] enjoy beautiful natural scenery [ D ] explore the woods in the frontier57. For campers today, wilderness is where_____[ A ] they cannot use cell phones [ B ] they can realize their dreams [ C ] they stay far away from home [ D ] they are trained to be stronger58. According to the text, today' s kids are_______[ A] aware of governing themselves [ B ] skilled in social communication[ C ] good at using electronic devices [ D ] short of the attention from adults59. After seeing the posted news and pictures of their kids at camp, parents would feel______[ A ] curious[ B ] pleasant[ C ] relieved[ D ] worded60. As stated in the last paragraph, camps suggest parents______[ A ] take back their kids' cell phones [ B ] leave their kids alone for a while[ C ] let their kids have a rest from study [ D ] call their kids only when necessaryPart BDirections:Read the following texts in which five people wrote about being a vegetarian. For questions61-65, match the name of each person (61-65) to one of the statements (A-G) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.Laurie:It is encouraging to see that, whether out of sympathy for animals or a concern for their own health or both, people are starting to realize that it does not pay to eat too far up on the food chain. Meat need not be what is for dinner. Factory farming is barbaric and cruel. Every person who reduces the use of animals in his life is performing a lifesaving act.Jeff:I am ready to be a vegetarian, but in our country, farmers, food producers, restaurants and supermarkets are not prepared to support me. We all know that it is much easier and less expensive to get a hamburger at McDonald' s or Chinese takeout or a roast chicken from the supermarket than it isto take the time to shop for, assemble and cook a tasty, nutritious and fulfilling vegetarian meal.Rod:I've heard another term for vegetarians: beady-eyed vegetarians. They' 11 eat things with beady eyes ( fish, chicken) but not with big, sad eyes ( cows, lambs). A friend of mine explained it by saying he would eat only things he thought he could kill himself. He figures he can kill a fish but not a cow. That seems like a more honest and consistent rationale than some of the others I' ve heard.Jerry:As a moral vegetarian, I have found that there is great misunderstanding about vegetarian principles in our society. While some vegetarians keep off animals as a matter of health, we moral vegetarians don' t want other animals to live for us, nor do we want other animals to die for us, as they do for food, clothing and wasteful scientific research. All animals live for their own sake, not for mine.Ellen:Why do some people think that animals and human beings are the same? In my opinion, a human life is worth a lot more than an animal' s. I think that wemust stop thinking of meat eaters as killers. Vegetarians also kill vegetable life. Is there any difference? Eat vegetables and meat; both help you to be healthy and allow you to have all the nutrients your bodies need.Now match the name of each person (61 to65) to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.61. Laurie [ A] All animals have the right to live for themselves.62. Jeff [ B ] Some vegetarians in fact eat small-sized animals.63. Rod [ C ] Vegetarians need to do more to save animals' lives.64. Jerry [ D ] Some people have overstressed the rights of animals.65. Ellen [ E ] Vegetarians should be consistent in their eating habits.[ F] How can I become a vegetarian without a favorable environment?[G]Eating less meat saves not only the life of animals but also that ofyour own.SECTION Ⅳ Writing( 40 minutes)Directions:You should write your responses to both Part A and Part B of this section on your ANSWER SHEET.Part A66.

As a psychologist for more than twenty years I can tell you that I have never had an adult looking back at her childhood and complaining that her parents were too understanding. And similarly, I have met many divorced people who still love each other but yet they never really understood each other.The painful reality is that love is just not enough. I'll admit that there are people who I love and who I still need to better understand. I hope I'll continue my work to understand them. The willingness to understand is very important. It is not always easy, but healthy love is strengthened by the willingness to understand. Love without understanding will wilt like flowers without water.Our egos are what seem to get in the way of understanding those who we love and care about. Often it is our need to be right that makes what others think and feel so wrong for us.I have certainly been quite guilty of this in some of my relationships.As I have written repeatedly in my books, empathy, is truly the emotional glue that holds all close relationships together. Empathy allows us to slow down and try to walk in the shoes of those we love. The deeper our empathy, the deeper—and healthier—our love. Not all relationships are meant to be. Yet all relationships that are meant to flourish in a healthy way, must stress understanding just as much, if not more, as love.61. From the passage we know that .A、the author complains about her parents' being too understandingB、the author has been studying marriages for more than 20 yearsC、people divorced mainly because they didn't love each otherD、some people divorced because they couldn't understand each other62. Why are we unable to understand the others sometimes?A、Because we care about the others too much.B、Because it is quite difficult to understand the others.C、Because we believe we are always right.D、Because the others have done something wrong.63. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A、Understanding is more important to parenting relationship than to other intimate relationships.B、Understanding is less important than love as far as marriage is concerned.C、Understanding is more important than love to some degree.D、Understanding is more often neglected in parenting relationship.64. If we are to understand our partners, we should firstly .A、have willingness to do soB、have love for themC、get into connection with themD、care about them65. In this passage, the expression “walk in the shoes of” is similar in meaning to .A、befriendB、understandC、loveD、care aboutPassage TwoFinally, the Christmas season is over. We can take a long breath, put up our feet, sip from a cup of good tea and relax. The frenzy, starting from Black Friday right after Thanksgiving until Christmas Ev e, of gift shopping, buying, wrapping, giving, receiving, opening, returning…is exhaustive and time-consuming, but it takes place every year.There is considerable difference between the cultures in China and western countries when it comes to gift giving. In China, it is not polite to open a gift in front of the gift giver, and the gift is only looked at after the guest has left. Here in America, gift givers always wrap their gifts, large or small, priceless or valueless, carefully decorate them with colorful ribbons and little pretty paper flowers; and the lucky receiver is expected to open the gift right away in front of the giver, with great eagerness and curiosity, and should always express appreciation with the all time truthful comment, “This is just exactly what I wanted!” Well, as a matter of fact, most people would take their “always wanted” gifts back to the store to exchange forsomething they really wanted.Finding a gift for somebody, even a close family member, you'll have to know what the person likes and shop for days before you can locate the perfect gift. But, still the person may not like the gift from you. Nowadays, stores would provide two copies of the receipts for anything they sell as a gift, one of which is included in the gift package so that the receiver can come back for an exchange. I know, it was unthinkable to cash out the gift you get, but, times are different. Another good way to avoid all that shopping hassle is to purchase a gift card from one of the stores and send it to your niece, nephews, or a family member, so that they can get whatever they want or even keep the money.66. Finding a gift for somebody is a(n) .A、easy jobB、tough taskC、must-be jobD、arranged task67. It is quite for Chinese people to open the gift in front of the givers.A、usualB、normalC、abnormalD、unusual68. Gift giving is the same thing in China and America in that .A、people spend a lot of time preparing a giftB、people would cash out the gift immediatelyC、people are eager to get a gift from a friendD、people are less willing to give gifts69. Which of the following is the author's suggestion?A、Open the gift immediately in front of the giver.B、Wrap the gift carefully.C、Express the appreciation for the gift you receive.D、Buying a present card to avoid the trouble in shopping70. The author's attitude towards gift giving is .A、indifferentB、protestingC、objectiveD、supportivePassage ThreeThey already guide blind and disabled people; now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia(痴呆). The duties of these “guide dogs for the mind” will include reminding their owners to take medication, as well as encouraging them to eat, drink and sleep at regular intervals.The dementia dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers in the home that prompt them to perform tasks. These could include delivering a bite-proof bag of medicine with a note inside reminding the patient to take it, or waking them up in the morning.The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer's Scotland and Dogs for the disabled.Joyce Gray of Alzheimer's Scotland said, “People in the early stages of dementia are still able to live a relatively nor mal life, and dogs help to maintain routine.”The other advantage of using the pets as companions is that conversation can be increasingly confusing for people with Alzheimer's, but dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship. People light up when they see animals. They don't need to communicate verbally but they can still interact. You can have a speechless bond.The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks, ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people.71. As is mentioned in the passage, the guide dogs will do the following except for .A、helping ensure the owner doing some exercisesB、reminding the owner to take medicineC、communicating with the owner in a non-verbal wayD、helping the owner recover from the illness72. Who will train the dogs to perform such tasks?A、The students who developed the idea.B、The owners of the dogs.C、The experts in Alzheimer's Scotland.D、It is not mentioned in the passage.73. What is true about the people suffering from dementia?A、They would like to stay with other people.B、They can maintain routine.C、They will gradually lose the ability to live a normal life.D、They would like to talk in a different way.74. The guide dogs helping the people with dementia will .A、respond to the owners' orderB、respond to a sound deviceC、act on the owners' instructionsD、act on the trainers' order75. Having a conversation with people with dementia will be .A、difficultB、interestingC、confusingD、encouragingPassage FourIt seems obvious that you don't give away your product for free but this is exactly what indie rock group The Crimea did earlier this year. The band's reasoning goes like this: more people will download the free album than would pay for it. Therefore more people will hear The Crimea's music. These people will then pay money for concerts by the band and perhaps buy a T-shirt or other merchandise. If the band play regular concerts to crowds of 200 or 300 people they can make more money than they would from sales of a CD. There will always be some people who want something they can hold in their hands so they will release the CD into the shops too—but making money through sales of their music isn't the top priority. The story illustrates the creative thinking going on in the music business in response to dramatic changes over the last few years in the way that people buy music. Sales of musicdigitally—to computer, phones and MP3 players rose to＄2 billion in 2006—an increase of almost 100 percent on the previous year—yet overall record company sales are down. People are simply not buying CDs in record shops in anything like the numbers they used to.This trend looks set to continue, so the big question for the music industry is whether they can successfully manage the move to being primarily a digital industry without profits falling to unacceptable levels.There are both positive and negative signs. On the plus side, more and more people are buying music on mobile phones, which allows people to make impulse purchases—they can buy a song as soon as they hear it. Research by the UK mobile operator 3 suggested that 75 percent of 16 to 24-year-olds wanted to buy a track they liked as soon as they heard it. With so much competition for people's disposable income, a product that you can sell immediately is a big advantage.The bad news for record companies, however, is the amount of music that is downloaded illegally. Piracy—usually in the form of cheaply copied CD—has long been an issue for the music business but the Internet means music can be copied and distributed freely through file-sharing sites on a larger scale than ever before.It is this situation that leads bands to start giving away their music for free and promises to make the next few years a very interesting time in the music business.76. What is unusual about the Crimea's business plan?A、Their business was given away free on the Internet.B、They gave CDs away free in shops.C、They played free concerts.D、They charged more for their CDs.77. The Crimea hope to make money .A、through CD salesB、by giving concerts and selling T-shirts and other merchandiseC、by selling merchandise on the InternetD、through sales of merchandise in shops78. The Crimea also released CDs for sale in shops because .A、people who attend their concerts need themB、they want to make extra moneyC、there are still people who prefer CDs to other formatsD、people who fail to attend their concerts need them79. What is true about sales of music over the last year?A、Overall, sales are up last year.B、Overall, sales are down last year.C、There is no change compared to previous sales.D、It is not mentioned in the passage.80. What effect has the Internet had on music piracy?A、It has made it easier to fight piracy.B、It has increased the number of pirate CDs available.C、It has made it easier to illegally copy music.D、It has reduced the number of pirate CDs available.四、翻译题（每小题2分，共20分）81. 她喜欢看书时听音乐。

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET. Text 1 Nisaburo and Hiroko Ohata are unlike most Japanese couples their age. Sure,Hiroko,58, is worried about her husband' s high blood pressure, while Nisaburo,60, promises his wife that if she loses 18 pounds they' 11 take a trip abroad. What makes the Ohatas different is how they met, through a matchmaking organization for single seniors. " On the second date, he asked if I wanted to meet his family," says Hiroko. "I took that as a proposal. " A little rushed, perhaps, but 17years after his wife' s death, Nisaburo knew he' d found a new wife. The couple just celebrated four years of marital happiness last month. In the past, people like Nisaburo and Hiroko might have chosen to live out their lives alone. But as Japan' s society ages, attitudes about love and remarriage late in life are changing. In 2006,according to government data, three times more men and nearly five times more women in their 60sand 70s married for at least the second time, compared with 20 years before. Granted, change is slow. For this silver-haired population, the concept of "dating" is still masked by the term ocha nomi tomodachi (friends having tea together). And older people often need help meeting prospective mates. That' s where specialized matchmaking services such as Ai Senior--" Love Senior"--come in. When Shunichi lkeda started the online service three years ago, he was surprised by how many visits he was getting from people in their 60s. Ikeda says that his clients have an "American perspective" about the dating scene. And their children are often very supportive, sometimes being the ones to register parents. "More older people are realizing that life is supposed to be enjoyable--not lonely," says Ikeda. About 17% of the matchmaking clients in Japan are over 50 years old, according to Ai Senior, and seniors' market share has more than doubled over the past three years. "For older, single men, even doing laundry or cooking is difficult," says Ikeda. "They want to live with a woman. Likewise, it can be boring for women living alone. They want to provide for someone. " 46. According to the writer, the Ohatas are different from most senior Japanese couples in that______ [A] they remarried with the help of an agency[B] they decided to marry on the second date[C] the husband suffers from a health problem[D] the wife is concerned about losing weight 47. As is implied in the text, Nisaburo' s proposal on the second date might be considered______ [A] typical of single seniors [B] irresponsible to his family [C] a surprise to the woman [D] a decision made in haste 48. In Japan, the change in attitudes about remarriage results from an increase in [A] its population [B] single women______ [C] senior people [D] the divorced 49. According to Ai Senior, the matchmaking clients in Japan______ [A] admire the American lifestyle [B] are mostly under 50 years of age [C] share a vague term for "dating" [D] doubled over the past three years 50. According to Ikeda, more single seniors remarry in order to______ [A] live a longer life [B] solve financial problems [ C ] make their life enjoyable [ D ] support their children together Text 2 When you become a parent, much of your focus shifts from your own future to your kids' future. But one of the most effective ways to help your children learn to dream big is to ensure that your own dreams don' t get pushed aside by everyday demands. Our everyday experiences provide learning opportunities. When you tap into them, you create a lifelong learning habit that will always keep you growing. Even your most disappointing experiences can be turned into breakthroughs. Every dream begins in the imagination. Take a few minutes to sit down with a notebook and think about where you would like to be in 20 years. Write down details about all aspects of your ideal life. Feel free to imagine. Don' t worry about whether you know how to get there now—you have 20 years to figure that out. You can also start by picking a year in the future and making a collection of things you' d like in your life by then. Check in on it from time to time to see where you've made progress. We're often encouraged to work on our weaknesses, but working on your strengths is easier and creates better results. For help of identifying them, ask some friends, or colleagues to write down what they most appreciate about you. They' ll enjoy doing this, and you' 11 feel great when you read the responses. Once you know your strengths, you can put them to work to help you achieve your dreams. Confidence is the foundation for all your other abilities. "Progress, notperfection" is a great saying to keep your confidence high. Every night, write down five achievements that happened that day. Big or small, it doesn' t matter. If proper, add ideas for further progress and actions you can take to get started. Find ways to add what you love to do to your life now. This will give you more energy and keep you connected with your bigger dreams. Making a list of old hobbies is a great way to restore your old passions. Things you' re enthusiastic about come with their own store of energy. Connecting with them can give you a push when you most need it. 51. In order to help your children to dream big you must______ [ A] fulfill everyday tasks [ B ] build your own career [C] keep your own dreams [ D] make them look ahead 52. The writer suggests that, to begin your big dream, you should______ [A] stretch your imagination [ B ] have a best-laid plan for 20 years [ C ] recollect all your likes and dislikes [D] engage yourself in lifelong learning 53. According to the writer, to achieve our dreams, we should______ [ A] work on our strengths [ B ] develop our creativity [ C ] identify our weaknesses [ D ] seek advice from friends 54. To keep high confidence, it is important for one to______ [ A ] take appropriate actions [ B ] notice his daily progress [ C ] try his best in everything [ D ] form new ideas every day 55. The writer thinks that one can hold fast to his dream by______ [ A ] listing the details of his ideal life [B] improving some of his old hobbies[C ] adding new ideas to his old dreams [ D ] energizing himself with old passions答案 第一部分听力(略) 第二部分英语知识运用 参考译文 如今，美国家庭对于电视基本上存在着两种对立的态度。

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Today there are three different kinds of New Yorkers: the people who act as if they were born here: the people who are here and wish to be elsewhere: and the collection of virtual New Yorkers all over the world, who wish they were living in New York. These are the three states of mind and what they have in common are longing and illusion. In fact, it´ s a city of dreamers.What makes New York special? New Yorkers are convinced of its specialness—but Toronto is more diverse, London is larger, Washington is more powerful. So why does New York think it´ s the capital of the world?People often explain the problems in European cities by citing inequality. But New York today is one of the most unequal cities in America. In 2010, 1 percent of New Yorkers earned 45 percent of its income. That works out to an average of $3.7 million a year for the city´s top 34,500 households. The average daily income of this group is greater than the average annual income of the city´ s bottom 10 percent.So why would people still come to try their luck in this tough place? Is it opportunity or illusion that draws them?They come because any newcomer can find a place in the hierarchy of New York. If you look at a New York City restaurant, for example, the cook might be French, the people washing dishes might be Mexican, the hostess might be Russian, the owner might be British. They are not all equal. They earn different rates. But they work together to get food to hungry people.What New York demonstrates is this: immigration works. The city can use its immigrants, eventhe illegal ones. Though they broke the law by illegally crossing the borders, the city´ s economy would be a shell of itself had they not, and it would collapse if they were deported. Attracted here by the founding myth of the city, each immigrant is seeking to escape from history, personal and political. For him, New York is the city of the second chance.第46题The writer mentions the three kinds of New Yorkers to stress that______.A.they share the same longingB.they are in pursuit of dreamsC.they are proud of their birthplaceD.they wish to live in another place第47题In the eyes of New Yorkers, their city is______.A.powerfulB.diverseC.specialrge第48题The figures in paragraph 3 are given to show that New York______.A.favors the luckyB.favors the localsC.is a city of inequalityD.is a city of opportunities第49题People keep coming to New York because they can find jobs that______.A.challenge themB.suit them wellC.pay them wellD.raise their status第50题It is implied in the text that New York is______.A.a tolerant cityB.a wealthy cityC.a mythical cityD.a historical city上一题下一题(51~55/共15题)ComprehensionDirections:Read the following two texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D.We´ ve read how babies stare longer and cry less when held by pretty people, and heard tales of handsome children doing better in school, given special attention by their teachers. In life, as in love, beautiful people seem to have it awfully easy. But what if we told you that when it comes to online dating, good looks could actually hurt you?According to a recent survey of 43,000 users by OK Cupid, an online dating site, the more men disagree about a woman´s looks, the more they end up liking her. What does that mean for ladies looking for a match? " We now have mathematical evidence that minimizing your´weaknesses´ is the opposite of what you should do," says the site´s co-founder, Christian Rudder. "If you´re a little fat, play it up. If you have a big nose, play it up. Statistically, the guys who don´ t like it can only help you, and the ones who do like it will be all the more excited. "The results of this study end up highlighting an idea that recent scientific research does indeed support. Which is this: the beautiful may have it good, but online, as in work and life, women who are too attractive don´t always have an advantage.Beauty creates more competition—among women, taught they must out-look each other for men and jobs and everyday satisfaction: and among men, who are competing for the most attractive prize. All of which might help explain why 47 percent of corporate recruiters believe it´s possible for a woman to suffer for being " too good-looking": why attractive women tend to face heightened examination from their female peers: or, finally, why men on OK Cupid end up contacting women who may ultimately be less attractive—because it removes the opposition. " If you suspect other men are uninterested, it means less competition," explains Rudder. " You might start thinking: maybe she´ s lonely... maybe she´ s just waiting to find a guy who appreciates her... at least I won´ t get lost in the crowd. "In the end, being beautiful will always have its blessings—but sometimes, there´ s more to an advantage than meets the eye.第51题It is generally believed that beautiful people______.A.have less difficulty in lifeB.are less worried about loveC.pay less attention to othersD.like to gaze at lovely babies第52题The OK Cupid survey found that men´ s arguments over a woman´ s looks______.A.have little meaningB.benefit online datingC.will actually hurt herD.add to her popularity第53题Christian Rudder advises women to______.A.play up their physical advantagesB.view their popularity scientificallyC.highlight their physical weaknessesD.accept guys who are willing to help第54题The attitude of women toward their attractive peers is______.A.criticalB.friendlyC.conservativeD.straightforward第55题The main idea of the text is that a woman´ s good looks______.A.help to shape ideas of beautyB.can put her at a disadvantageC.end up with blessings for herD.will always appeal to the eye上一题下一题(56~60/共15题)ComprehensionDirections:Read the following two texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Camps have always reflected children´s dreams and parents´fears. In the 1880s, many middle-class families worried that industrial society had broken off some tie to the frontier. Boys were growing soft: too much time with their mothers and teachers, not enough manly activity. So the early camps promised to take weakly boys out into camp life in the woods so that the pursuit of health could be combined with the practical knowledge.Those first campers were wilderness tourists: today a wilderness is anyplace without bandwidth. Allowing cell phone contradicts the point of sleepaway camp: if 19th century campers were meant to regain lost survival skills, 21st century campers need to work on their social skill. They are often missing some basic interactive instruments: fantastically digitally aware, they are less familiar with the ideas of sharing their space, their stuff or the attention of the adults around them. For kids who are allowed to text during dinner, who have their parents whenever they get in trouble or need a ride, a little self-government is probably long overdue.Most camps require kids to leave their phones at home, which shows that the resistance often comes not from the kids but from parents. It´ s known that parents pack off their children with two cell phones, so they can hand over one and still be able to slip away and call. Parents question camp directors about why they can´t reach their kids by phone. Some services let camps post news and pictures to help the families feel as if they are with the kids at camp. But that just invites inquiry about why Johnny looks sad or how Jenny´ s jeans got torn.Even as they yield in varying degrees to the demands of parents, camps endeavor to tell us our kids need a break from our eager interest and exhausting expectations. Camps talk about building independence, argue that having kids learn to solve their own problems and turn to peers and counselors for support is a key part of the experience. The implications are clear. They´ re lighting campfires, hiding and seeking, doing things that feel wonderfully improper if just because they involve getting dirtier than usual. Nothing to worry about, Mom.第56题The whole point of camp in the 19th century is to______.A.acquire the lost survival skillsB.escape from industrial societyC.enjoy beautiful natural sceneryD.explore the woods in the frontier第57题For campers today, wilderness is where______.A.they cannot use cell phonesB.they can realize their dreamsC.they stay far away from homeD.they are trained to be stronger第58题According to the text, today´ s kids are______.A.aware of governing themselvesB.skilled in social communicationC.good at using electronic devicesD.short of the attention from adults第59题After seeing the posted news and pictures of their kids at camp, parents would feel .A.curiousB.pleasantC.relievedD.worried第60题As stated in the last paragraph, camps suggest parents______.A.take back their kids´ cell phonesB.leave their kids alone for a whileC.let their kids have a rest from studyD.call their kids only when necessary上一题下一题(61~65/共5题)ComprehensionDirections:Read the texts from a magazine article in which five people talk about tipping in a restaurant. For questions 36-40, match the name of each person to one of the statements (A-G) given below. It is encouraging to see that, whether out of sympathy for animals or a concern for their own health or both, people are starting to realize that it does not pay to eat too far up on the food chain. Meat need not be what is for dinner. Factory farming is barbaric and cruel. Every person who reduces the use of animals in his life is performing a lifesaving act.Jeff:I am ready to be a vegetarian, but in our country, farmers, food producers, restaurants and supermarkets are not prepared to support me. We all know that it is much easier and less expensive to get a hamburger at McDonald´s or Chinese takeout or a roast chicken from the supermarket than it is to take the time to shop for, assemble and cook a tasty, nutritious and fulfilling vegetarian meal.Rod:I´ve heard another term for vegetarians: beady-eyed vegetarians. They´11 eat things with beady eyes(fish, chicken)but not with big, sad eyes(cows, lambs). A friend of mine explained it by saying he would eat only things he thought he could kill himself. He figures he can kill a fish but not a cow. That seems like a more honest and consistent rationale than some of the others I´ ve heard.Jerry:As a moral vegetarian, I have found that there is great misunderstanding about vegetarian principles in our society. While some vegetarians keep off animals as a matter of health, we moral vegetarians don´ t want other animals to live for us, nor do we want other animals to die for us, as they do for food, clothing and wasteful scientific research. All animals live for their own sake, not for mine.Ellen:Why do some people think that animals and human beings are the same? In my opinion, ahuman life is worth a lot more than an animal´s. I think that we must stop thinking of meat eaters as killers. Vegetarians also kill vegetable life. Is there any difference? Eat vegetables and meat: both help you to be healthy and allow you to have all the nutrients your bodies need.Now match the name of each person(61 to 65)to the appropriate statement.Note: there are two extra statements.Statements[A]All animals have the right to live for themselves.[B]Some vegetarians in fact eat small-sized animals.[C]Vegetarians need to do more to save animals´ lives.[D]Some people have overstressed the rights of animals.[E]Vegetarians should be consistent in their eating habits.[F]How can I become a vegetarian without a favorable environment?[G]Eating less meat saves not only the life of animals but also that of your own.第61题Laurie _______第62题Jeff ________第63题Rod _______第64题Jerry ______第65题Ellen ______上一题下一题(1/1)WritingDirections:You should write your responses to both Part A and Part B of this section on your ANSWER SHEET.Part A第66题Your friend Paul is coming to visit you next month.

Pony---trekking, climbing and fishing are also _47 , al ong with Scoland’s national game, golf. 48 enthusiasts are well rewarded---this is the home of the red deer, red squirrel and golden eager. If you don’t like the 49 to the highest point, some 2,000 meters 50 sea level, you can take the railway 51 ge ts you to the summit in less than ten minutes. 52 the west of the park is another popular natural 53 , Loch Ness. The lake is over 200 meters 54 in places, and salmon, trout and eels are in abundance here.Over the border in England is the Lake District, 55 made famous by Romantic poets such as William Wordsworth two hundred years ago. People have been 56 here en mass since 1847 57 a railway was built to its biggest lake, Windermere. 58 in the past boats piled its waters 59 stone, timber and wood, today’s craft are more likely to carry 60 on pleasure cruises---over a million a year, in fact.41.A.to find B.to be found C.finding D.to have found42.A while B.As C.

As a psychologist for more than twenty years I can tell you that I have never had an adult looking back at her childhood and complaining that her parents were too understanding. And similarly, I have met many divorced people who still love each other but yet they never really understood each other.The painful reality is love is just not enough. I’ll admit that there are peopl e who I love and who I still need to better understand. I hope I will continue my work to understand them. The willingness to understand is very important. It is not always easy,but healthy love is strengthened by the willingness to understand. Love without understanding will wilt like flowers without water.Our egos are what seem to get in the way of understanding those who we love and care about. Often it is our need to be right that makes what others think and feel so wrong for us. I have certainly been quite guilty of this in some of my relationships.As I have written repeatedly in my books, empathy , is truly the emotional glue that holds all close relationships together. Empathy allows us to slow down and try to walk in the shoes of those we love. The deeper our empathy, the deeper---the healthier---our love. Not all relationships are meant to be. Yet all relationships that are meant to flourish in a healthy way, must stress understanding just as much, if not more, than love.61.From the passage, we know that .A.the author complains about her parents’ being too understandingB.the author has been studying marriage for more than 20 yearsC.People divorced mainly because they didn’t love each otherD.Some people divorced because they couldn’t understand each other62.Why are we unable to understand the others sometimes?A.Because we are caring the others too much.B.Because it is quite difficult to understand the others.C.Because we believe we are always rightD.Because the others have done something wrong63.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A.Understanding is more important to parenting relationships than to other intimate relationships.B.Understanding is less important than love as far as marriage is concerned.C.Understanding is more important than love to some degree.D.Understanding is more often neglected in parenting relationship.64.If we are to understand our parents, we should firstly .A.have willingness to do soB.have love for themC.get into connection with themD.care about them65.In this passage, the expression “walk in the shoes of” is similar in meaning to .A.befriendB.understandC.loveD.care aboutPassage TwoFinally, the Christmas season is over. We can take a long breath, put up our feet, sip from a cup of good tea and relax. The frenzy, starting from Black Friday right after Thanksgiving until Christmas Eve, of gift shopping, buying, wrapping, giving, receiving, opening, returning...is exhaustive and time---consuming, but it takes place every year.There is considerable difference between the cultures in China and western countries when it comes to gift giving. In China, it is not polite to open a gift in front of the gift giver, and gift is only looked at after the guest has left. Here in America, gift givers always wrap their gifts, large or small, priceless or valueless, carefully and decorate them with colorful ribbons and little pretty paper flowers; and the lucky receiver is expected to open the gift right away in front of the giver, with great eagerness and curiosity, and should always express appreciation with the all time truthful comment,“this is just exactly what I wanted!” Well, as a matter of fact, most people would take their“always wanted” gifts back to the store to exchange for something they really wanted.Finding a gift for somebody, even a close family member, you will have to know what the person likes and shop for days before you can locate the perfect gift. But , still the person may not like the gift from you. Nowadays, stores would provide two copies of the receipts for anything they sell as a gift, one of which is included in the gift packaged so that the receiver can come back for an exchange. I know, it was unthinkable to cash out gift you get, but, times are different. Another good way to avoid all that shopping hassle is to purchase a gift card from one of the stores and send it to your niece, nephews, or a family member, so that they can get whatever they want or even keep the money.66.Finding a gift for somebody is a(n) .A.easy jobB.tough taskC.must-be jobD.arranged task67.It is quite for Chinese people to open the gift in front of the givers.ualB.normalC.abnormalD.unusual68.Gift giving is the same thing in China and America in that .A.people spend a lot of time preparing a giftB.People would cash out the gift immediatelyC.People are eager to open to get a gift from a friendD.People are less willing to give gifts.69.Which of the following is the author’s suggestion?A.Open a gift immediately in front of the giver.B.Wrap the gift carefully.C.Express the appreciation for the gift you receive.D.Buying a present card to avoid the trouble in shopping70.The author’s attitude towards gift giving is .A.indifferentB.protestingC.objectiveD.supportivePassage ThreeThey already guide blind and disabled people ;now dogs are to be trained to help people with dementia(痴呆).The duties of these “guide dogs for the mind” will include reminding their owners to take medication, as wellas encouraging them to eat , drink and sleep at regular intervals.The dementia dogs will be trained to respond to sound triggers in the home that prompt them to perform tasks .These could include delivering a bite-proof bag of medicine with a note inside reminding the patient to takeit , or waking them up in the morning.The idea was developed by design students at the Glasgow School of Art and will now be put into practice by Alzheimer’s Seotland and Dogs for the disabled.Joyee Gray of Alzheimer’s Scotland said:“People in the early stages of dementia are stil l able to live a relative normal life , and dogs help to maintain routine .”The other advantage of using the pets as companions is that conversation can be increasingly confusing for people with Alzheimer’s ,but dogs can give them a sense of silent support and companionship . People light up when theycan see animals .They don’t n eed to communicate verbally but they can still interact . You can have a speechless bond .The dog would also encourage the owner to take them out for walks ,ensuring they keep exercising and interacting with other people .71.As is mentioned in the passage ,the guide dogs will do the following except for .A.helping ensure the owner doing some exercisesB.reminding the owner to take medicinemunicating with the owner in a non-verbal wayD.helping the owner recover from the illness72.Who will train the dogs to perform such tasks?A.The students who developed the idea.B.The owners of the dogs.C.The experts in Alzheimer’s Scotland .D.It is not mentioned in the passage .73.What is true about the people suffering from dementia?A.They would like to stay with other people.B.They can maintain routine .C.They will gradually lose the ability to live a normal life .D.They would like to talk in a different way .74.The guide dogs helping the people with dementia will .A.respond to the owners orderB.respond to a sound deviceC.act on the owners instructionsD.act on the trainers order75.Having a conversation with people with dementia will be .A.difficultB.interestingC.confusing D .encouragingPassage FourIt seems obvious that you don’t give away your product for free but this is exactly what indie rock group The Crimea did earlier this year. The band’s reasoning goes like this: more people will download the free album than would pay for it. Therefore, more people will hear The Crimea’s music. These people will then pay money for concerts by the band and perhaps buy a T-shirt or other merchandise. If the band play regular concerts to crowds of200 or 300 people they can make more money than they would from sales of CD. There will always be some people who want something they can hold in their hands so they will release the CD into the shops too---but making money through sales of their music isn’t the top priority.The story illustrates the creative thinking going on in their music in response to dramatic changes over the last few years in the way that people buy music. Sales of music digitally ---to computer, phone and MP3 players rose to $2 billion in 2006---an increase of almost 100 percent on the previous year---yet overall record company sales are down. People are simply not buying CDs in record shops in anything like the numbers they used to.This trend looks set to continue so the big questions for the music industry is whether they can successfully manage the move to being primarily a digital industry without profits falling to unacceptable levels.There are both positive and negative signs. On the plus side, more and more people are buying music by mobile phones, which allows people to make impulse purchases---they can buy a song as soon as they hear it. Research by the UK mobile operator 3 suggested that 75 percent of 16 to 24-year-olds wanted to buy a track they liked as soon as the y heard it. With so much competition for people’s disposable income, a product you can sell immediately is a big advantage.The bad news for the record companies, however, is the amount of music that is downloaded illegally. Piracy--- usually in the form of cheaply copied CD---has long been an issue for the music business but the internet means music can be copied and distributed freely through file-sharing sites on a large scale than ever before.It is this situation that leads bands to start giving away their music for free and promises to make the next few years a very interesting time in the music business.76.What is unusual a bout the Crimea’s business plan ?A.Their business was given away free on the Internet .B.They gave CDs away free in shops .C.They played free concerts.D.They charged more for their CDs.77.The Crimea hope to make money .A.through CD salesB.by giving concerts and selling T-shirts and other merchandiseC.by selling merchandise on the InternetD.through sales of merchandise in shops78.The Crimea also released CDs for sale in shops because .A.people who attend their concerts need themB.they want to make extra moneyC.there are still people who prefer CDs to other formatsD.people who fail to attend their concerts need them79.What is true about sales of music over the last year?A.Overall,sales are up on last year.B.Overall,sales are down on last year.C.There is no change compared to previous salesD.It is not mentioned in the passage.80.What effect has internet had on music piracy?A.It is made it easier to fight piracyB.It has increased the number of pirate CDs available.C.It has made it easier to illegally copy music.D.It has reduced the number of pirate CDs available.Part IV TranslationSection A81.她喜欢看书时听音乐。

Here are some practical ways for you if you want to be a success.1. Desire. Desire is the longing to achieve a vision(美景); without desire you have nothing.Before you can run with desire, your vision must be plain, clear and it must alsobe exciting．2. Show up. Seventy percent of success in life is showing up. You can't have a best seller, if you’ve never written a book. You can’t get your dream job, if you are scared to turn in an application.Showing up doesn't guarantee success, but if you don't show up, you won't succeed．3. Fail. Unless yo u’re willing to have a go, fail miserably,(糟糕地)and have another go, success won’t happen. To have success you have to do things the right way, but often the only way to do something right is to first fail at it. As Thomas J. Watson said, a simple formula (公式) for success is to double your rate of failure．So embrace (拥抱)failure, become a student of failure, learn from failure, and soon you will succeed．4. Work Harder. Everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day. Success is not about doing what the average person can’t do;it’s about doing what the average person is unwilling to do.And on a deeper level, it's about creating habits that the average person is unwilling to cre ate．It's the habit of doing things with excellence that causes success5. Enjoy the Journey. Success is a journey, not a destination. Success is not a certain car or a certain house or a certain happy marriage. Success is the enjoyment of the journey. You have to enjoy the journey!Someone once said, "Unless you change how you are, you will always have what yo u've got．" You have to change.... you will change; you will succeed．36. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in gaining success? [单选题] *A. Working hardB. Good education(正确答案)C. Strong desireD. Enjoying failure37. By saying “everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day”the author means that ____ . [单选题] *A. It’s not so easy for people to develop their healthB. you are sure to meet with some difficulty in your lifeC. working harder is necessary when you go after success(正确答案)D. most people don’t want to spend too much time running38. What does the author mostly want to tell us in the fourth paragraph? [单选题] *A. Failure is the mother of success(正确答案)B. Little by little, one goes farC. Every coin has two sidesD. Well began, half done39. Which of the following statement is TRUE about the passage? [单选题] *A. You can run with desire that is not excitingB. You will always have what you’ve got for everC. Success is about doing what the average person can’t doD. Success means the enjoyment of your gain or loss on the journey(正确答案)40. The best title for the passage might be ____ . [单选题] *A. Importance of SuccessB. Success or FailureC. Benefit of SuccessD. The Five Main Steps to Success(正确答案)Passage TwoThe drive from England and Scotland provides the traveler with many pleasant change s of scenery. As it is a fairly long journey, it is good to be able to travel with a friend who can take turns with you at the wheel.On the first night in Scotland a tourist may choose to putup at a hotel in the little town of Gallander. On the following day he can set out to see the various lakes in the neighborhood, and will be delighted with the wild and charming aspect of the countryside. When he returns to his hotel he will be glad to eat a “high tea”. This is a meal which in Scotland takes the place of tea and dinner. It consists of one big c ourse, which one wouldhave at dinner, followed by bread-and-butter, with jam, and some kind of cake or cakes; tea is drunk with the meal, which is taken at about six o’clock in the evening. One then has a light supper later in the evening.The next morning many tourists journey on to the west coast.The road winds and turns, but is not dangerous. The greatest hazard is the black-faced sheep:these animals are as active and fierce as goats, and frequently wander into the road. The t ourist may also see a herd of long haired Highlandcattle, which look cruel but are no more so than ordinary cattle.41. The passage mainly tells you . [单选题] *A . how to get to Scotland from EnglandB . how to spend the night in ScotlandC . what to enjoy in Scotland(正确答案)D. what to eat and drink during the journey in Scotland42.

A tourist may be glad to eat a Scottish meal when he returns to his hotel.D. A tourist may drink tea instead of a light supper late in the evening.(正确答案)44. What is the meaning of “hazard” (para.3) in the passage? [单选题] *A.Something which may threaten one’s life(正确答案)B.An animal which is black-faced and fierceC.Part of a road which winds and turnsD.A Scotsman one may come across during his journey45. What’s the journey like from Callender to the West Coast? [单选题] *A. Pleasant but tiringB. Difficult and troublesomeC. Long and tiringD. Neither difficult nor risky(正确答案)Passage ThreeAir travel is an everyday experience these days because it's so fast. But frequent longd istance flying can be very tiring and the traveler begins to feel his brain is in one country and his body is in another. In short, he hardly knows where he is.Tiredness after a long flight becomes stronger when we fly from east to west or vice ve rsa because we cross time zones(时区).Doctors say that air travelers should go straight to bed on arrival after crossing a numb er of time zones. They shouldn't work without rest. However. airline pilots can hardly be affected. In fact,they often live by their own watches,paying no attention to local time .They can even have breakfast at midnight if necessary.Businessmen,however,are not so lucky.After a long journey,they must either go straight to an important meeting or to their boss to give a report. Eve n so,there are still a lot of businessmen traveling by air.46. Why has air travel become a daily experience? Because it is ___.

A year later, Hong’s mother 4 home. She no longer wanted to live such a poor life and face her sick husband. So everything hard fell onto the young boy’s 5 : to take care of his father and the younger sister Chenchen, and to go on to study.Although his life was har d, Hong didn’t go away from his father and sister.He took several part-time jobs to 6 his family. He climbed tall trees to get birds’ eggs for his sister. He walked 2 hours at weekends to the market to 7 different things to sell around his school. A few years later, he studied at a college.

One of the rules is that young people should always respect(尊敬) elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States. I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive(敏感) Americans are and how they dislike the description “old”. I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry. In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience. However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them tofeel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didn‟t want to hear.After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don‟t respect them any more; I still respect them, but now I don‟t show my feelings through words.By Jack1.

From this experience, Jack learned more about American cultureStudents who date (约会）in middle school have significantly worse study skills, are four times more likely to drop out of school and report twice as much alcohol and tobacco use than their single classmates, according to new research from the University of Georgia. "Romantic relationships are a trademark ofadolescence ，but very few studies have examined how adolescents differ in the development of these relationships," said Pamela Orpinas ，study author and professor in the College of Public Health and head of the Department of Health Promotion and Behavior. Orpinas followed a group of 624 students over a seven-year period from 6th to 12th grade. Each year, the group of students completed a survey indicating whether they had dated and reported the frequency of different behaviors, including the use of drugs and alcohol. Their teachers completed questionnaires (调查表）about the students* academic efforts. He found some students never or hardly ever reported dating from middle to high school, and these students had consistently the best study skills according to their teachers. Other students dated infrequently in middle school but increased the frequency of dating in high school. "At all points in time, teachers rated the students who reported the lowest frequency of dating as having the best study skills and the students with the highest dating as having the worst study skills,'1 according to the journal article. Study skills refer to behaviors that lead to academic success such as doing work for extra credit being well organized, finishing homework, working hard and reading assigned chapters. "Dating a classmate may have the same emotional complications of dating a co-worker," Orpinas said, "when the couple break up. they have to continue to see each other in class and perhaps witness the ex-partner dating someone else. It is reasonable to think this could be linked to depression and divert (转移）attention from studying.” 4t Dating should not be considered a ceremony of growth in middle school，”Orpinas concluded.6.According to the passage, students who date in middle school may_____A. have poorer academic performancesB. be more likely to hurl othersC. enjoy better school livesD. are less likely to use alcohol and tobacco7.When doing his study, Orpinas_____.A. followed a group of students of 6th and 12th gradeB. completed a survey and a report each yearC. completed questionnaires about the students’ academic effortsD. found that the students’ study skills have connection with their frequency of dating8.Study skills may include the following behaviors and qualities Except_____A. being diligentB. bcing well organizedC. being kind and helpfulD. finishing assigned schoolwork9. What can possibly happen to the school couples after they break up?A. They don’t want to see each other any longer.B. Their attention to studying will be affected.C. They will miss their ex-partners sometimesD. They will think it，s reasonable Io get depressed.10.Orpinas’ attitude towards dating in middle school is_____A. supportiveB. positiveC. negativeD. indifferentUntil last summer I had a very comfortable life: winter vacations skiing and summer cruises. My parents spent a lot of money on a private school, so they could get me into a competitive middle school. Everything was about tomorrow, next year, my graduation. We never had to worry about today. Before last summer I never thought much about the people in the world who live day to day, every day, whose lives are controlled by poverty and hunger. Then I enrolled in a two-week intensive program. We lived in a “Tribal Village,” in a hot, dry open grassland in Arkansas, a state of the south-central United States. I am a tribal member in Mozambique, a country of southeast Africa. Every meal, I make the fire for my family, and feel the flames lick up my nostrils as I blow to keep the fuel alive. I cook mush with vegetables. This is all my family is ever given. I feed the hen and three rabbits their dinner. I grow attached to the rabbits, even though I know I shouldn’t. I name them. I’m not getting enough to eat; it’s time to decide whether or not to kill the rabbits. I feel pain but it’s a privileged child’s pain because I know I will soon be eating again. That’s not true for a lot of otherchildren around the world. Growing up comfortably in the U.S., I’ve never had to worry about my dinner, and even though this whole process was only a simulation, it changed my life. Now I believe in doing whatever I can to help find practical ways to defeat hunger. So I’ve become president of Roots and Shoots, a group working to improve local environments for people and animals. I’m also working to create a program at my high school called the “Safe Passage” trip to help young people in the Guatemala City dump. And I’ve got plans to do more. I'm often thinking of laboring in the hot sun and the millions who still do. Now, I try to live for today and stop worrying so much about the future. When I eat or feel full, I am grateful for this fortunate life and want to extend the same feeling to others. I believe in offering help to those who need it.11. What is true about the author before last summer?A. Her life was under great pressure.B. Her life was well-planned.C. She didn’t have to worry about the future.D. She had to worry about her dinner12.We can learn from the second paragraph that _______________.A. the author raised some rabbits as petsB. the author took part in a two-week program in AfricaC. the author had a very difficult life in the “Tribal Village”D. the author never thought about poor people after the program13.
