Automobiles have, since their invention, revolutionized transportation, changing forever the way people travel, and do business. On the other hand, they have brought hazards, especially highway fatalities. However, today the application of computer technology and electronic sensors in designing and manufacturing cars makes it possible to eliminate most of traffic accidents. For example, electronic sensors mounted in your car can detect alcohol vapor in the air and refuse to start up the engine. They can also monitor road conditions by receiving radiosignals sent out from orbiting satellites and greatly reduce your chances of getting stuck in traffic jams.Text BComprehension Check2. a c c d b bTranslation5. 这类系统易受气候变化的影响,提供的数据不够精确,但他们不需要特别的`道路设施,只需要将车道标志维护好就行了。

They don't think they are the happiest of the people around them. They would point out that one of their neighbors is happier than anyone of them, “Doctor Frank has a career himself. His wife is the most beautiful and well-educated lady in the community. No, I don't think I am happier than Doctor Frank. At least my career is not as successful as his.”Most of us compare ourselves with anyone we think is happier, a relative, a close friend or, often, someone we even hardly know. I once met a young man who struck me as particularly successful and happy. He spoke of his love for his beautiful wife and their daughters, and of his joy at being a TV talk-show host. I remember thinking he was one of the lucky few for whom everything goes effortlessly right. Once we talked about the Internet, he is grateful for its existence. He told me, because he could look up information on diabetes, the terrible disease that made his wife suffer and could possibly be passed down to his lovely children. When I heard this, I felt like a fool for taking it for granted that nothing unhappy existed in his life.This made me think a lot and I soon drew one of the most significant conclusions about happiness: there is little relation between the situations of people's lives and how happy they are. We all know people who are richer and have an easier life than others, yet they are essentially unhappy. And we know people who have suffered a great deal but generally remain happy. Unhappiness is like looking at something and fixing on even the smallest fault. As a bald man told me, “Whenever I enter a room, all I see is hair.”It is hard for us to give up the image of “being perfect.”As nothing is perfect, anyone can be unhappy. It takes no courage or effort to be unhappy. True happiness lies in struggling to be happy.(1). According to the author, most people would ____________ they are the happiest in the world.A doubt whetherB think about whetherC not think that参考答案:C;考生答案:C;试题分数:4;考生得分:4(2). The author thinks that people quite often compare themselves with ____________.Aa close friendB a relativeC anyone they think is happier参考答案:C;考生答案:C;试题分数:4;考生得分:4(3). What is NOT true about the young man the author once met with?A He is a TV talk show host.B Everything goes effortlessly right for him.C He loves his wife and their daughters.参考答案:B;考生答案:B;试题分数:4;考生得分:4(4). After talking with the young man about the Internet, the author realizes ____________.A that he is mistaken in thinking nothing unhappy existed in the latter’s lifeB how terribly the young man’s wife suffer from the disease - diabetesC that there is a lot of information one can look up in the Internet参考答案:A;考生答案:A;试题分数:4;考生得分:4(5). The significant conclusion the author draws about happiness is that ____________.A true happiness lies in struggling to be happyB unhappiness is like looking at something and fixing on even the smallest faultC it is hard for us to give up the image of "being perfect"参考答案:A;考生答案:A;试题分数:4;考生得分:4主观题作文(共1题,共20分)Direction: 根据提纲,介绍你的家庭,写出一篇不少于80字的短文。

He had a personal as well as scientific reason to pursue his search, because his 23 brother had been killed when a can of nitroglycerine accidentally exploded. The oily liquid had been 24 for so many disasters that its production had finally been prohibited (禁止)by law in many countries.While 25 a new formula (配方)one morning, the doctor broke a test tube and cut his finger. He was daubing (涂搽)the 26 with collodion (火棉胶), 27 the idea came to his mind --- mix collodion with the nitroglycerine! This was the answer.

Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions.Passage I.Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end--- with advertisements thrownin every three or four minutes. The advertisements are unavoidable. They happen whether youwant or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard (广告牌) glides by outside the bus window. Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the televis ion set off, are you able to avoid the endless cry of “ You Need It! Buy It Now!”The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you’ve traveled that before. Usually some things have changed ----- new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving, the ride can be as exciting as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or left-hand lane ( 车道)? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you’ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there’s a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat, of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now you’ve sat with your hands crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the arm rests --- even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at the right time. There are just no more ways to sit.1. According to the passage, what do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus trip?A. Buses on the road.B. Films on television.C. Advertisements on the board.D. Gas stations2.What is the purpose of this passage?A. To give th e writer’s opinion about long bus trips.B. To persuade you to take a long bus trip.C. To explain how bus trips and television shows are different.D. To describe the billboards along the road.3.The writer of this passage would probably favor _____ .A.bus drivers who were more carefulB.driving aloneC.a television set on the busD. no billboards along the road4. The writer feels that long bus rides are like TV shows because ______ .A. the advertisements both on TV shows and on billboards along the road are funB. they both have a beginning, a middle, and an end, with advertisements in betweenC. the drivers are always careful on TV shows just as they are on busesD. both traveling and watching TV are not exciting.5. The writer thinks that the end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning because both are _______ .A. excitingB. comfortableC. tiringD. boringPassage II.When the task at hand is to get a good night’s sleep, trying hard is not the way to succeed. Twisting and turning in search of a comfortable position in bed makes your body do the opposite of what it’s supposed to do at night. Instead of slowing down,you watch the clock and wonder what you’re doing wrong.Over ten million people in the United States alone are seeking medical help for chronic insomnia --- difficulty in falling asleep or staying asleep. For years it has been called a symptom of a number of psychological problems, such as depression, that somehow alter the body’s sleep pattern. Now sleep experts are saying that “bad habits” can have the same effect. These include too little daytime activity and, ironically, its opposite, too much exercise “Insomniacs usually begin losing sleep over some problems, such as a death in the family,” says psychologist Robert Watson. “But unlike other people,” he adds, “they continue to have trouble sleeping --- for months, even for years.” According to Joyce and Anthony Kale, insomniacs present a consistent personality character, as outlined in the November American Journal of psychiatry. They take things hard, feel they haven’t lived “the right kind of life,” and are nervous and tense.Insomniacs share another trait, says psychiatrist Thomas Coates: They spend an excessive amount of time thinking about sleep. Contrary to the image of bad sleepers as workaholics, Coates’s study indicates that insomniacs spend more time relaxing than others do. He thinks their relative inactivity during the day may alter the body’s “clock”. Instead of signaling the brain to slow down at night, the “clock” calls fo r more activity.S leeping late on weekends can also disrupt your body’s clock. This is the first bad habit Robert Watson makes patients change at the Sleep Disorder Center. He tells them to rise at the same time each day, even after a night of poor sleep. “After a while,” h e says, “sleep improves.”Even though it tires you out, exercise won’t guarantee asound sleep. If it is too strenuous, especially just before bedtime, it can drive your pulse too high, causing a restless night. Joyce and Anthony Kale use moderate afternoon exercise, along with methods such as psychotherapy and biofeedback, to treat severe insomniacs.What is the best thing to do on occasional sleepless nights? Forget sleeping pills. They can actually cause insomnia after three days, by altering the brains chemistry. Watson recommends drinking milk or eating cheese or tuna, because they are rich in natural sleep-producing aids.There’s something to the old-fashioned remedy of drinking warmmilk before bed time, Watson says. Warming it won’t make any differen ce, but it will help you relax.6. What’s mainly discussed in this passage?A.How the body’s “clock” functions in regulating our sleep.B.Causes of insomnia and ways to treat it.C.Why workaholics are normally bad sleepers.D.Depression and insomnia.7. According to the passage, keeping changing sleeping positions will _____ .A.prevent your body from twisting and turningB.help you relax yourselfC.prevent you from falling asleepD.help you fulfil your task at hand to get a good night’s sleep8.What does the author think about the two extremes in doing daytime exercise?A.Both of them embody (体现)psychological problems ofthese people.B.Either of them will result in the same problem --- insomnia.C.It is ironical to do too much exercise during daytime.D.They are opposite to each other.9.The word “ alter “ in line 4 , para.2 is closest in meaning to _______ .A. changeB. regulateC. adjustD. form10.The passage implies (暗示) that ______ .A.doing too much work during daytime will not lead to insomnia at night.B.spending more time relaxing during the day will help get rid ofinsomniaC.being less active during the day makes the brain slow down at night.D.people tend to believe that bad sleepers are mostly workaholics.Passage IIIWhen the task at hand is to get a good night’s sleep, trying hard is not the way to succeed.

Emotions play an important part in the negotiation process, although it is only in recent years that their effect is being studied. Emotions have the potential to play either a positive or negative role in negotiation. During negotiations, the decisionas to whether or not to settle rests in part on emotional factors. Negative emotions can cause intense and even irrational behavior, and can cause conflicts and negotiations to break down, but may be instrumental in attaining concessions. On the other hand, positive emotions often facilitate reaching an agreement and help to maximize joint gains, but can also be instrumental in attaining concessions. Positive and negative discrete emotions can be strategically displayed to influence task and relational outcomes and may play out differently across cultural boundaries.1.

Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions.Passage I.Long bus rides are like television shows. They have a beginning, a middle, and an end--- with advertisements thrown in every three or four minutes. The advertisements are unavoidable. They happen whether youwant or not. Every couple of minutes a billboard (广告牌) glides by outside the bus window. Only if you sleep, which is equal to turning the televis ion set off, are you able to avoid the endless cry of “ You Need It! Buy It Now!”The beginning of the ride is comfortable and somewhat exciting, even if you’ve traveled that before. Usually some things have changed ----- new houses, new buildings, sometimes even a new road. The bus driver has a style of driving, the ride can be as exciting as a suspense story. Will the driver pass the truck in time? Will the driver move into the right or left-hand lane ( 车道)? After a while, of course, the excitement dies down. Sleeping for a while helps pass the middle hours of the ride. Food always makes bus rides more interesting. But you’ve got to be careful of what kind of food you eat. Too much salty food can make you very thirsty between stops.The end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning. You know it will soon be over and there’s a kind of expectation and excitement in that. The seat, of course, has become harder as the hours have passed. By now you’ve sat with your hands crossed, with your hands in your lap, with your hands on the arm rests --- even with your hands crossed behind your head. The end comes just at the right time. There are just no more ways to sit.1. According to the passage, what do the passengers usually see when they are on a long bus trip?A. Buses on the road.B. Films on television.C. Advertisements on the board.D. Gas stations2.What is the purpose of this passage?A. To give the writer’s opinion about long bus trips.B. To persuade you to take a long bus trip.C. To explain how bus trips and television shows are different.D. To describe the billboards along the road.3.The writer of this passage would probably favor _____ .A.bus drivers who were more carefulB.driving aloneC.a television set on the busD. no billboards along the road4. The writer feels that long bus rides are like TV shows because ______ .A. the advertisements both on TV shows and on billboards along the road are funB. they both have a beginning, a middle, and an end, with advertisements in betweenC. the drivers are always careful on TV shows just as they are on busesD. both traveling and watching TV are not exciting.5. The writer thinks that the end of the ride is somewhat like the beginning because both are _______ .A. excitingB. comfortableC. tiringD. boringPassage II.When the task at hand is to get a good night’s sleep, trying hard is not the way to succeed. Twisting and turning in search of a comfortable position in bed makes your body do the opposite of what it’s supposed to do at night. Instead of slowing down, you watch the clock and wonder what you’re doing wrong.Over ten million people in the United States alone are seeking medical help for chronic insomnia --- difficulty in falling asleep or staying asleep. For years it has been called a symptom of a number of psychological problems, such as depression, that somehow alter the body’s sleep pattern. Now sleep experts are saying that “bad habits” can have the same effect. These include too little daytime activity and, ironically, its opposite, toomuch exercise “Insomniacs usually begin losing sleep over some problems, such as a death in the family,” says psychologist Robert Watson. “But unlike other people,” he adds, “they continue to have trouble sleeping --- for months, even for years.” According to Joyce and Anthony Kale, insomniacs present a consistent personality character, as outlined in the November American Journal of psychiatry. They take things hard, feel they haven’t lived “the right kind of life,” and are nervous and tense.Insomniacs share another trait, says psychiatrist Thomas Coates: They spend an excessive amount of time thinking about sleep. Contrary to the image of bad sleepers as workaholics, Coates’s study indicates that insomniacs spend more time relaxing than others do. He thinks their relative inactivity during the day may alter the body’s “clock”. Instead of signaling the brain to slow down at night, the “clock” calls for more activity.S leeping late on weekends can also disrupt your body’s clock. This is the first bad habit Robert Watson makes patients change at the Sleep Disorder Center. He tells them to rise at the same time each day, even after a night of poor sleep. “After a while,” h e says, “sleep improves.”Even though it tires you out, exercise won’t guarantee a sound sleep. If it is too strenuous, especially just before bedtime, it can drive your pulse too high, causing a restless night. Joyce and Anthony Kale use moderate afternoon exercise, along with methods such as psychotherapy and biofeedback, to treat severe insomniacs.What is the best thing to do on occasional sleepless nights? Forget sleeping pills. They can actually cause insomnia after three days, by altering the brains chemistry. Watson recommends drinking milk or eating cheese or tuna, because they are rich in natural sleep-producing aids.There’s something to the old-fashioned remedy of drinking warmmilk before bed time, Watson says. Warming it won’t make any differen ce, but it will help you relax.6. What’s mainly discussed in this passage?A.How the body’s “clock” functions in regulating our sleep.B.Causes of insomnia and ways to treat it.C.Why workaholics are normally bad sleepers.D.Depression and insomnia.7. According to the passage, keeping changing sleeping positions will _____ .A.prevent your body from twisting and turningB.help you relax yourselfC.prevent you from falling asleepD.help you fulfil your task at hand to get a good night’s sleep8.What does the author think about the two extremes in doing daytime exercise?A.Both of them embody (体现)psychological problems of these people.B.Either of them will result in the same problem --- insomnia.C.It is ironical to do too much exercise during daytime.D.They are opposite to each other.9.The word “ alter “ in line 4 , para.2 is closest in meaning to _______ .A. changeB. regulateC. adjustD. form10.The passage implies (暗示) that ______ .A.doing too much work during daytime will not lead to insomnia at night.B.spending more time relaxing during the day will help get rid ofinsomniaC.being less active during the day makes the brain slow down at night.D.people tend to believe that bad sleepers are mostly workaholics.Passage IIIWhen the task at hand is to get a good night’s sleep, trying hard is not the way to succeed.

As you know,Chinese classic music pieces,often composed in plaintive tones,may strike you heart-strings really when you listen to them. However,I don\'t hate all types of popular music with melodious tunes(of course those fit for my aesthetic taste), such as those of Sara Brightman and Enya...We all know music is important in our life,but some people don't want to ackknowledge this point.Music has two fuctions:one is to add colour to our life;another is to instruct us many things范文二Music is an important part in my life,I even can't live without music.Acturally,I like many kinds of music,I'd like to talk about my favorite music here.Well,I like Irish folk music best,New age is Irish style,and it's mixes some morden melody,it sounds very nice and pure,can bring you into the never land and dream land,just relax,and forget all the problems.I like Enya,she is a very famous New age singer,her song just like the voice of heaven,her song is as nice and beautiful as herself!I'm not keen on American pop songs,they are terrible for me!The melody is not soft and nice at all!So fast and strong beat,too exciting,and can't hear them clearly.I can't stand the strong beat,that nearly make me fainted!In a word,music has an very important place in my life.As for the importance of music to my life,I think you can guess,it just like meals and sleeping,I can't live without it.Does anyone want to take it away from me,I'm gonna fight him and never give up!。
