Fill in each of the 15 blanks in the passage with the most likely answer. Blacken the letter corresponding to your choice on the answer sheet. (1 point each, 15 points in all)
Without transportation, there could be no trade. Without trade, there could be no towns and cities. Towns and cities are traditionally the 16 centers of civilization. Therefore, transportation helps make civilization 17 practical.
Throughout most of the prehistoric period, people lived by hunting, fishing, and 18 growing wild plants. They had no beasts of burden, wheeled vehicles, or roads. People traveled 19 on foot and carried their infants and belongings strapped to their backs or heads. Loads too heavy for one person to carry were strapped to a pole and carried by two people.
20 All the while , people learned that they could drag loads along the ground on sledges. During late prehistoric times, people began to build sledges with runners.
When people developed agriculture and began to establish 21. permanent settlements, trade between settlements started to develop, which created a need for better 22 means of transportation. The donkey and the ox, which had been tamed for food products and farm work, helped 23 meet this need. The use of donkeys and oxen as beasts of burden enabled people to 24 move heavier loads than they could before.
People also began to develop water transportation during prehistoric times. They built rafts of such 25 materials as logs or reeds. Later, people learned 26 how to make dugouts and canoes. People paddled these early craft with their hands or propelled them with paddles or 27 poles.
The wheel was invented about 3500 B.C. and sailboat about 3200 B.C. Wheeled vehicles and sailing vessels 28 initiated transportation. But the speed of transportation improved only 29 slightly over the centuries.
Inventors produced the first engine- 30powered vehicles during the late 1700’s and the early 1800’s. This development marked the beginning of a revolution in transportation that has continued to the present.
16. A. highlights B. pinpoints C. headquarters D. centers
17. A. possible B. acceptable C. practical D. typical
18. A. growing B. gathering C. watering D. moving
19. A. in turn B. at ease C. on foot D. for fun

IV. READING COMPREHENSION
Read the two passages and choose the most likely answer to each of the questions. Blacken the letter corresponding to your choice on the answer sheet. (2 points each, 20 points in all)
Passage One
If you are searching for a job, you have perhaps read lots of local newspapers with job vacancies, and certainly even visited an employment agency or firm to help you get the job of your dreams. Job hunting is not an easy task and one needs to be informed on how to find numerous advertisements of vacancies that suit your professional needs. There are a number of useful tips on how to write unique and good curriculum vitae (CV)(简历) documents that all job seekers should like. All this information can be obtained at no cost from most job sites.
Today most recruitment companies advertise their vacancies on the job websites and this provides a free and accessible way to find thousands of jobs and one can feasibly apply for jobs within a very short time. Most recruitment portals (门户网站) allow you to keep your CV with them and send it automatically to the human resources for consideration any time you apply for a job.
This service also allows you to up-date your CV at any time and companies looking for employees will also be able to view your employment and qualification details and send you an application invitation without the need of your having to look for them. If you are looking for a job, you can start with the most popular and trusted sites that will give you a wide range of choices to select from.
E-mail alerts can save you a lot of energy and time but one needs to specify the type of notifications she/he needs to receive depending on one’s career goals. You should also need to be keen on the deadline because most sites do not remove the list of jobs, whose deadline has already passed. In case the deadline is not indicated you can e-mail or call the employer to check the details.
Before applying for a job it is advisable to read the terms and conditions of recruitment well to see whether you qualify for the position because it is pointless to apply for a post of which you do not meet the requirements. You need to expand your job search by browsing related categories or you can look for a job using alternative job titles in other areas, for instance, outside your locality, since an opportunity can present itself at the least expected place.
Business sites are also becoming very popular and help many job seekers to create and develop relationships that will help them find a job. There are numerous job sites available but one needs to be very careful. There are people who use
these sites to cheat innocent employment seekers. These sites also offer useful information and tips on how to find a job, write a CV, apply for a vacancy as well as tips on interviews. Some sites provide you with career coaches to give you all the information you need on jobs and can also help you find the right job that is in line with your career or profession.
41. What kind of service do most recruitment portals offer?

Passage Two
I’ve often felt that “step-parent”is a label we attach to men and women who marry into families where children already exist, for the simple reason that we need to call them something. It is most certainly an enormous “step”, but one doesn’t often feel as if the term “parent” truly applies. At least that’s how I used to feel about being a step-mother to my husband’s four children.
My husband and I had been together for six years, and with him I had watched as his young children become young teenagers. Although they lived primarily with their mother, they spent a lot of time with us as well. Over the years, we all learned to adjust, to become more comfortable with each other, and to adapt to our new family arrangements. We enjoyed vacations together, ate family meals, worked on homework, played baseball, rented videos. However, I continued to feel somewhat like an outsider, invading foreign territory. There was a definite boundary line that could not be crossed, an inner family circle which excluded me. Since I had no children of my own, my experience of parenting was limited to my husband’s four, and often I felt sad that I would never know the special bond that exists between a parent and a child.
When the children moved to a town five hours away, my husband was understandably depressed. In order to maintain regular communication with the kids, we contacted Cyberspace and promptly set up an e-mail and chat-line service. This technology, combined with the telephone, would enable us to reach them on a daily basis by sending frequent notes and messages, and even chatting together when we were all online.
Ironically, these modern tools of communication can also be tools of alienation (疏远), making us feel so out of touch, so much more in need of real human contact. If a computer message came addressed to “Dad”, I’d feel forgotten and neglected. If my name appeared along with his, it would brighten my day and make me feel like I was part of their family unit after all. Yet always there was some distance to be crossed, not just over the telephone wires.
Late one evening, as my husband dozed off in front of the television and I was catching up on my e-mail, an “instant message” appeared on the screen. It was Margo, my oldest step-daughter, also up late and sitting in front of her computer five hours away. As we had done in the past, we sent several messages back and forth, exchanging the latest news. When
we would “chat” like that, she wouldn’t necessarily know if it was me or her dad on the other end of the keyboard—that is unless she asked. That night she didn’t ask and I didn’t identify myself either. After hearing the latest volleyball scores, the details about an upcoming dance at her school, and a history project she was working on, I commented that it was late and I should get to sleep. Her return message read, “Okay, talk to you later! Love you!”
As I read this message, a wave of sadness ran through me and I realized that she must have thought she was writing to her father the whole time. She and I would never have openly exchanged such words of affection. Feeling guilty for not clarifying, yet not wanting to embarrass her, I simply responded, “Love you too! Have a good sleep!”
I thought again of their family circle, that self-contained, private space where I was an intruder. I felt again the sharp ache of emptiness and otherness. Then, just as my fingers reached for the keys, just as I was about to return the screen to black, Margo’s final message appeared. It read, “Tell Dad good night for me too.” With tear-filled, blurry eyes, I turned the machine off.
46. Why did the author feel like an outsider in the family?
A. The four children were unwilling to spend time with her.
B. She couldn’t form the special tie with the children.
C. She didn’t have much experience in parenting.
D. The four children were not friendly to her.
47. What is “Cyberspace” mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A. It’s a program.
B. It’s a company.
C. It’s a school.
D. It’s a place.
48. Why did the author feel guilty at the sight of Margo’s words of affection?
A. She had unintentionally made Margo uncomfortable.
B. She had never communicated with Margo in such way.
C. She pretended to be Margo’s father when chatting with her.
D. She did not explain that it was she who was writing to Margo.
49. What did Margo’s last message indicate to the author?
A. The relationship Margo had with her was far from intimate.
B. The mistrust Margo had in her was greater than she had expected.
C. The boundary line would always exist, even with an email service.
D. The sensitivity and ache she felt about otherness was not necessary.
50. What can we learn from the passage?
A. A step-mother can never truly enter the kids’ world and become their friend.
B. The gap between a step-mother and her step-children can never be bridged.
C. An intimacy can be established between a step-mother and her step-children.
D. A step-mother should go out of her way to adjust to needs of her step-children.

Think again. Leasing can end up being just as expensive as buying. Most people think about leasing because they believe it will cost them less money. They're right-it is cheaper, but only in the short term. For example, if you were to lease anew Subaru Forester, you might pay $300 per month for the car. If you were to buy the same car, you would pay about $400 per month. Over a three-year, you would save $3600-a big savings. But after your lease is over, you have to give the car back. Many people want to lease because they can drive a more expensive car than they might otherwise be able to afford. For example, if you spend $300 monthly on a car, you might be able to lease a new Ford Explorer. For the same price, you might have to buy a used Explorer, or buy a new but much less expensive model. A lease，therefore，allows you to drive the latest models of more expensive cars. However, whatever car you can afford to buy you get to keep it, and it will always have a resell or trade-in(以新旧换)value if you want to upgrade to a new car later. Furthermore, people who lease cars are often shocked by how much they must pay when the lease is over . Most leases limit you to a certain number of miles. If you go over that, you must pay for each mile. As a result, you may end up paying thousands of dollars in mileage(里程) fees. In addition, when you lease ,you have to pay for regular maintenance and repairs to the vehicle. Since you must return the car finally, you are paying to repair someone else's car.
