The town I live in is about to put cameras at all traffic lights to catch people who run red lights．It 36 me of how many people I’ve seen who take the yellow light as a 37 to go faster．I also can’t understand why people don’t move when the traffic light has turned green．Above all, there are those 38 situations in which s omeone doesn’t even 39 that the light turns red, and just keeps going．That is why so many 40 happen! All these situations make me 41 the purpose of traffic lights．

It occurs to me that my 47 have done much the same for me 48 teaching me how to live．They have given me many 49 lights: to get along well with
others, to listen and talk to them, to help others, and to 50 with joy and purpose．They have also given me some red lights 51 my life goes astray（误入歧途）: not to be greedy, to keep my temper, and to control my desires．And there 52 have been some yellow caution lights: to watch how much I drink, to keep control of my behavior, and to 53 school regularly and work hard．
If I obey these rules, my life will be as 54 as it can be．Just as I’m wise to pay attention to the traffic lights when I’m walking across the street, I’m wise to pay attention to the“ 55 signals” given to me by my parents．

The car started to move very slowly．The man looked at the road and saw a curve （拐弯处）coming his way．Terrified, he started to pray, begging for his life．He had not come out of shock when, just before the car hit the curve, a hand suddenly appeared through the window and moved the wheel．The man, paralyzed with fear, watched how the hand appeared every time the car was drawing near a curve．Finally, although terrified, the man managed to open the door and jump out of the spooky （幽灵般的）car．Without looking back, the man ran through the storm all the way to the nearest town．In a state of complete horror, the man walked into a nearby bar and asked for two glasses of Scotch whisky．
Then, still shaking with fright, he started telling everybody in the bar about the horrible experience he just went through in the spooky car．Everyone in the bar listened in silence and became frightened, with hair standing on end, when they realized the man was telling the truth

Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict,” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled.” Today David wears casual clothes—khaki pants and sports shirt—to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I’m 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 Fri day. 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 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 Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale（士气）. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative effect on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code 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 can buy a lot more casual clothes.”
66. David Smith refers to himself as having been “a clothes addict,” because.
A. he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirt
B. he c ouldn’t stand a clean appearance
C. he wanted his clothes to look neat all the time
D. he didn’t want to spend much money on clothes
67. David Smith wears casual clothes now, because .
A. they make him feel at ease when working
B. he cannot afford to buy expensive clothes
C. he looks handsome in casual clothes
D. he no longer works for any company
68. According to this passage, which of the following statements is FALSE?
A. Many employees don’t like a conservative dress code.
B. Comfortable clothes make employees more productive.
C. A casual clothes code is welcomed by young employees.
D. All the employers in the U.S. are for casual office wear.
69. According to this passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Company workers started to dress down about twenty years ago.
B. Dress-down has become an everyday phenomenon since the early 1990s.
C.“Dress-down Friday” was first given as a favor from employers.
D. Many workers want to wear casual clothes to impress people.
70. In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned
except .
A. saving employees’ money
B. making employees more attractive
C. improving employees’ motivation
D. making employees happier
D

第四部分写作（满分45分）
第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小3分，满分15分）
阅读下面的短文，请根据短文后的要求将答案答题（请注意问题后的要求）The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before. But just as in face–to-face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when online.
The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated. Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes. For anything you’re about t o send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person’s face?” If the answer is “no”, rewrite and reread. Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the person’s face.
If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct（本能反应）is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages. If it was caused by disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.
If you do decide to tell someone in the chat room about a mistake, point it out politely. At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.
It is not polite such as their age, sex, and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don’t ask such questions.
76. W hat’s the best title of the passage? (Please answer within 10 words.)
77. Why should we ask ourselves “Would I say this to the person’s face?” when we are to send a
message online? (Please answer within 20 words.)
