Then write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. (20 points, 2 points / each)Questions 51 to 55 are based on the same passage.In the United States, work is influenced by laws. Laws affect how long people work, what they are paid, and the conditions under which they work. To see how important work laws are, just look back to the year 1900. At that time, there were few laws about working conditions.In those days, people would work for months and then find that the money they made had been cut. If they complained, they were fired. If they became sick, it was just too bad. There were no paid sick days and no health plans.Some factories at that time were dark, crowded, and generally awful places to work in. People in these factories worked 12-to-18-hour shifts, 6 days a week for very little money. Most of the workers were women and children. In those days, women weregenerally paid half of what men were paid for doing exactly the same work. Children were given even less, so naturally, factory owners preferred hiring children. There were no health or safety laws to protect the workers. People fainted from the heat and lack of air.It took a very sad event to start getting changes. That sad event was the Triangle Fire. In 1911, the Triangle Building in New York City caught fire. The building was a dangerous place. Still, 145 people would not have died if the factory owner had not locked the doors. He did not want his workers to waste time by going outside to rest, so he locked them in. During the fire, a number of young women jumped out of the windows and died on the street. The others died inside.As a result, some important safety and health laws were passed. Now there are also laws to prevent child labor and laws to make sure that there is equal pay for equal work. Among other things, there is a limit to the number of hours in the workday and there is a minimum amount that workers must be paid.51. In America, _________________.A. laws have little influence on workB. people couldn't work without lawsC. people couldn't work without lawsD. people can change laws easily52. In the old days, if workers made complaints, they would ___________.A. have their health plans taken awayB. find their money cutC. lose their jobsD. be given terrible places to work53. Factory owners preferred hiring children because _____________.A. children eat lessB. they could manage children betterC. children could do adults' workD. they paid children much less money54. Some changes took place as a result of _____________.A. a traffic accidentB. a serious diseaseC. the death of many workers in a fireD. a strike by the workers55. Now there are laws for all of the following except ___________.A. allowing workers to take holidaysB. preventing children from being employedC. making sure that there is equal pay for equal workD. limiting work hoursQuestions 56 to 60 are based on the same passage or dialog.I used to go to Starbucks (星巴克) for their coffee, but that's changed since I discovered their comforting, tasty teas, which are better than coffee any time. Tea iscool even when it's hot. People drink more tea than any other drink in the world, except for water.Whether it's served hot or cold, natural and flavored teas are drinks that have been consumed (消费) for centuries. Everywhere you look, you'll find various kinds of teas―in restaurants, grocery stores, television adverti sements, and gift shops.Why is there all this excitement about tea? What's its attraction? Well, there are many possibilities for why more and more people are drinking tea. One possibility is that people are coming to notice the benefits of drinking tea, particularly green tea. Studies show that drinking four cups of green tea a day can reduce the risk of developing various types of cancer, as well as heart disease. The key to tea's effects of cure seems to lie in chemicals found in tea which prevent a process that leads to the growth of cancers. Green tea may also prevent skin cancer. It has also been linked with helping the body to rid itself of harmful materials, and green tea is thought to possibly protect against colds and Parkinson's (帕金森) disease.Another explanation for why people are drinking more tea may be due to the comforting process of just making a cup of tea. The time it takes to prepare tea leaves in hot water and enjoy its gentle flavor forces drinkers to slow down and relax a while, making it the perfect way to improve a world where people are so crazy about cappuccino（热牛奶咖啡）, a hot coffee with milk in it.So, whether you drink tea, eat it in foods, wear it to smell good, or take it in pills, one thing is certain, the use of tea is more than a trend―it is a habit of our past and if studies prove the benefit of its use, it will undoubtedly be an important element of our future.56. Nowadays, among all the drinks in the world, tea is __________.A. the most widely consumed drinkB. as widespread as coffeeC. even more widely consumed than waterD. the second most widely consumed drink57. The passage does not mention __________ as a possible benefit of drinking tea.A. preventing skin cancerB. helping the body to rid itself of harmful materialC. curing Parkinson's diseaseD. reducing the risk of developing cancer58. It is good to drink tea because the time it takes to prepare a cup of tea _________.A. allows the tea leaves to absorb enough waterB. enables drinkers to relaxC. is suitable for people to get some newsD. can improve the quality of cappuccino59. The writer suggests that in the future people will probably ___________.A. follow the trend and go on drinking teaB. drink more water than teaC. form the habit of eating tea leaves in foodsD. take tea as an important part of their life60. The passage is mainly about ____________.A. the benefits of drinking teaB. the benefits of drinking coffeeC. using tea leaves in fortune tellingD. advising people to drink tea and waterPart IV TranslationDirections: Translate the following paragraph into Chinese. (10 points)Advertising is an essential factor in modern business methods. We can scarcely pass a day without being forced to look at the advertisements which stare at us from TV , magazines, newspapers and the billboards. The origins of advertising lie thousands of years in the past. But before speaking about it, we first should define the term advertising: It is mass communication an advertiser pays for in order to convince a certain segment of the public to adopt ideas or take actions of benefit to the advertiser. One of the first known methods of advertising was an outdoor display, usually an eye-catching sign painted on the wall of a building.Part V Answer questionsDirections: Answer the questions below according to the passage you have learned. (20 points)61. What are Wal-Mart ’s sales strategies?62. Tell the definition of green food.63. What are the three hot spots for China ’s consumers?64.

I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career（职业）.I wasn’t an excellent student because I didn’t do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn’t have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn’t the type to have a career.I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls. It wasn’t too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she’d give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn’t often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification（资格证书）if I wanted to work with children. I didn’t think I wou ld be accepted because I didn’t take many exam s in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a part-time course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.Now I’ve got a fu ll-time job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren’t top of the class at school.56. What is the author’s present job?A.

Well-designed tools and equipment will require less force to operate them and prevent awkward（别扭的）hand positions. They will allow the worker to keep the elbows（肘）next to the body to prevent damage to the shoulder and arm.Overuse injuries can therefore be prevented or reduced if the employer provides, and workers use:·power tools rather than having to use muscle（肌肉）power·tools with specially designed handles that allow the wrist（手腕）to keep straight （See Figure 1）. This means that hands and wrists are kept in the same position as they would be if they were hanging relaxed at a person’s sideFigure 1. Bend the tool, not the wrist·tools with handles that can be held comfortably by the whole hand. This means having a selection of sizes —remember that tools that provide a comfortable firm hold for a person with a very large hand may be awkward for someone with a very small hand. This is a particularly important consideration for women who may use tools originally designed for men·tools that do not press fingers (or flesh) between the handles, and whose handles do not have sharp edges or a small surface area.60. What is the best title for the passage?A. Good Tool Design for WomenB. Importance of Good Tool DesignC. Tool Design and Prevention of InjuriesD. Overuse of Tools and Worker Protection61. Which of the following describes a well-designed tool?A. It’s kept close to the body.B. It fully uses muscle power.C. It makes users feel relaxed.D. It’s operated with less force.62. What is Figure 1 used to show?A. The effective use of the tool.B. The way of operating the tool.C. The proper design of the handle.D. The purpose of bending the wrist.63. In choosing tools for women, ___________ of the handle is the most important.A. the sizeB. the edgeC. the shapeD. the positionCHow could we possibly think that keeping animals in cages in unnatural environments —mostly for entertainment purposes—is fair and respectful?Zoo officials say they are concerned about animals. However, most zoos remain “Collections”of interesting “things”rather than protective habitats（栖息地）. Zoos teach people that it is acceptable to keep animals bored, lonely, and far from their natural homes.Zoos claim （声称）to educate people and save endangered species（物种）, but visitors leave zoos without having learned anything meaningful about the animals’natural behavior, intelligence, or beauty. Zoos keep animals in small spaces or cages, and most signs only mention the species’name, diet, and natural range（分布区）. The animals’normal behavior is seldom noticed because zoos don’t usually take care of the animals’natural needs.The animals are kept together in small spaces, with no privacy and little opportunity for mental and physical exercise. This results in unusual and self-destructive behavior called zoochosis. A worldwide study of zoos found that zoochosis is common among animals kept in small spaces or cages. Another study showed that elephants spend 22 percent of their time making repeated head movements or biting cage bars, and bears spend 30 percent of their time walking back and forth, a sign of unhappiness and pain.Furthermore, most animals in zoos are not endangered Captive breeding（圈养繁殖）of endangered big cats, Asian elephants, and other species has not resulted in their being sent back to the wild. Zoos talk a lot about their captive breeding programs because they do not want people to worry about a species dying out. In fact, baby animals also attract a lot of paying customers. Haven’t we seen enough competitions to name baby animals?Actually, we will save endangered species only if we save their habitats and put an end to the reasons people kill them. Instead of suppo rting zoos, we should support groups that work to protect animals’ natural habitats.64. How would the author describe the animals’ life in zoos?A. dangerous.B. Unhappy.C. Natural.D. Easy.65. In the state of zoochosis, animals ___________.A. remain in cagesB. behave strangelyC. attack other animalsD. enjoy moving around66. What does the author try to argue in the passage?A. Zoos are not worth the public support.B. Zoos fail in their attempt to save animals.C. Zoos should treat animals as human beings.D. Zoos use animals as a means of entertainment.67. The author tries to persuade readers to accept his argument mainly by ___________.A. pointing out the faults in what zoos doB. using evidence he has collected at zoosC. questioning the way animals are protectedD. discussing the advantages of natural habitats68. Although he argues against zoos, the author would still agree that ___________.A. zoos have to keep animals in small cagesB. most animals in zoos are endangered speciesC. some endangered animals are reproduced in zoosD. it’s acceptable to keep animals away from their habitatsDLanguage as a System of SymbolsOf all systems of symbols （符号）, language is the most highly developed. It has been pointed out that human beings, by agreement, can make anything stand for anything. Human beings have agreed, in the course of centuries of mutual（相互的）dependency, to let the various noises that they can produce with their lungs, throats, tongues, teeth, and lips systematically stand for certain happenings in their nervous systems. We call that system of agreements language.There is no necessary connection between the symbol and that which it stands for. Just as social positions can be symbolized by feathers worn on the head, by gold on the watch chain, or by a thousand other things according to the culture we live in, so the fact of being hungry can be symbolized by a thousand different noises according to the culture we live in.However obvious these facts may appear at first glance, they are actually not so obvious as they seem except when we take special pains to think about the subject. Symbols and the things they stand for are independent of each other, yet we all have a way of feeling as if, and sometimes acting as if, there were necessary connections. For example, there are people who feel that foreign languages are unreasonable by nature: foreigners have such funny names for things, and why can’t they call things by their right names? This feeling exhibits itself most strongly in those English and American tourists who seem to believe that they can make the natives of any country understand English if they shout loud enough. Like the little boy who is reported to have said: “Pigs are called pigs because they are such dirty animals,”they feel that the symbol is inherently （内在地）connected in some way with the things symbolized.69. Language is a highly developed system of symbols because human beings ___________.A. have made use of language for centuriesB. use our nervous systems to support languageC. have made various noises stand for any eventsD. can make anything stand for anything by agreement70. What can we conclude from Paragraph 2?A. Different noises may mean different things.B. Our culture determines what a symbol stands for.C. The language we use symbolizes our social positions.D. Our social positions determine the way we are dressed.71. In Paragraph 3, “take special pains” probably means “___________”.A. try very hardB. take our timeC. are very unhappyD. feel especially painful72. The example of the little boy is used to show that ___________.A. adults often learn from their youngB. “pig” is a dirty word because pigs are dirtyC. words are not connected with the things they stand forD. people sometimes have wrong ideas about how language workspavement：人行道swerve：突然转向insurance保险73.
