Her bus moved slowly along through 51 morning traffic, making her a few minutes late for her very first job. She decided to start out half an hour earlier the next day.Once inside the hall she had to stand at the elevators and wait several minutes 52 she could get on one to go to the sixth floor. When she finally reached the office marked "King Enterprises, '‘she knocked at the door nervously and waited. There was no answer. She knocked again, but still there was no reply. 53 inside the next office, she could hear the sound of voices, so she opened the door and went in.Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she had had the interview with Mr. King, it looked quite difterent now. In fact, it 54 looked like an office at all. The employees were just standing around 55 At the far end of the room, somebody 56 have just told a good joke, she thought, because there was a loud burst of laughter as she came in. For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her.Then one of the men looked at his watch, 57 his hands and said something to the others.Quickly they all went to their desks and, in a matter of seconds, everyone was hard at work. No one paid any, attention to Marie. Finally she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office. Hardly 58 from his work, he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr. King, who would arrive 59 . Then Marie realized that the day's work in the office began just before Mr. King arrived. Later she found out that he lived in Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the 60 train every morning, arriving in the office at 9: 35 a. m. , so that his staff knew exactly when to start working.51.

Reading Comprehension ( 60 points )Directions: There are four reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on ANSWER SHEET Ⅰ.Passage OneIt was a case of emergency. The four-year-old girl awoke and smelled smoke. She couldn’t wake her mother, so she dialed "zero" An operator immediately called the fire department. Help was sent, and a tragedy avoided.Days before this emergency, the mother had taught her child how to telephone for help. Children as young as two and one-half years old can be taught to use the phone in emergency situations. Here are some points.Memorizing certain facts is important. Teach your children their names, and the section of town where you live. Try to keep what they learn within their abilities. Simple information, learned well, is better than difficult information only partly learned.Be sure your children know how to use the telephone. They should be taught to dial "zero" for the operator, at the very least. And they should be taught to dial "911" if it is used in your town.Practice over a period of several days. Over-learning is necessary so the child can act automatically in case of emergency.If you would like a booklet giving instructions on calling for help, write Telephone For Help, BOX 99, Bowling Green Station, New York, NY 10004.61. From this passage, why is it a good idea for children to learn how to use the telephone?A. Children have fun dialing.B. Emergencies happen without warning.C. Children can wake their parents.D. Dialing can help children with their math study.62. Based on this passage, over-learning is good because ______.A. simple information is usedB. children should know their namesC. it helps children act automaticallyD. difficult information is only partly learned63. Paragraph 4 talks about dialing "911". This number is probably ______.A. the operatorB. an emergency numberC. a practice number for childrenD. used to keep children calm64. One thing the passage does NOT tell you to do is ______.A. call your neighborB. practice several timesC. teach children how to use the telephoneD. have children memorize some simple facts65. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Give instructions on calling for help.B. Partly-learned information is useless.C. Teach children how to deal with emergencies.D. Keep what children learn within their abilities.Passage TwoI was only eight years old when the Second World War ended, but I can still remember something about the victory celebrations in the small town where I lived on the day when the war in Europe ended. We had not suffered much from the war there. But both at home and at school I had become accustomed to the phrases "bef6re the war" and "when the war’s over". "Before the war", apparently, things had been better, though I was too yo ung to understand why, except that there had been no bombs then, and people had eaten things like ice-cream and bananas, which I had only heard of. When the war was over we would go back to London, but this meant little to me. I did not remember what London was like.What I remember now about VE ( Victory in Europe) Day was the May evening. After dinner I said I wanted to see the bonfire (大火堆), so when it got dark my father took me to the end of the street. The bonfire was very high, and somehow people had collected some old clothes to dress the unmistakable figure with the moustache (胡子) they had to put on top of it. Just as we arrived, they set light to it. The flames rose and soon swallowed the "guy". Everyone was cheering and shouting, and an old woman came out of her house with two chairs and threw them on the fire to keep it going.I stood beside my father until the fire started to go down, not knowing what to say. He said nothing, either. He had fought in the First World War and may have been remembering the end of that At last he said, "Well, that's it, son. Let's hope that this time it really will be the last one."66. Where did the author live before the Second World War?A. In London.B. In a small town.C. In Europe.D. In the countryside.67. What kind of food had the author certainly not tasted during the war?A. Bread.B. Butter.C. Meat.D. Ice cream and bananas.68. The unmistakable figure with the moustache most probably represents ______.A. those who died in the warB. those who had wonC. an imaginary figureD. the most hated person in the war-Hitler69. Which of the following statements is true?A. The author's father built a bonfire on VE Day.B. The author's father had fought in the First World. War.C. The author's father had fought in the Second World War.D. The author's father threw two chairs on the fire to keep it going.70. By saying "Let's hope that this time it really will be the last one", the father meant that ______.A. he wished people had not built the bonfireB. he hoped people would not build any more bonfiresC. he hoped there would be no more wars in the worldD. he wished the Second World War had not happenedPassage ThreeAt the first sight the planet Mars does not appear very welcome to any kind of life. It has very little oxygen and water; the temperature at night is below -50℃and winds of 100 miles per hour cause severe dust storms. However, the surface of the planet seems to show that water flowed across it some time in the past, and it is believed that there is enough ice at the poles to cover the planet with water if it melts. Although there is no life on the Mars now, some scientists think that there may have been some form of life long time ago. At that time, the planet had active volcanoes;the atmosphere was thicker and warmer; and there was water. In fact, in some ways the Mars may have been similar to the Earth, where life exists.Some people believe that the Mars could support life in the future if the right conditions were produced. The first step would be to warm the planet using certain gases which trap the Sun’s heat in the planet's atmosphere. With warmth, water and carbon dioxide (二氧化碳), simple plants could begin to grow, These plants could slowly make the Mars more suitable for living. It is estimated that the whole process might take between 100,000 and 200,000 years. In the meantime, people could begin to live on the planet in special closed environments. They would provide a lot of useful information about conditions on the Mars and the problems connected with living there.71. Some scientists think there may have been life on the Mars in the past because ______.A. there is no life there nowB. there is a large amount of water at the polesC. the Mars may be able to support life in the futureD. conditions may have been similar to those on the Earth72. There could be life on the Mars in the future if ______.A. it supported life in the pastB. certain gases are used to cool the planetC. the atmosphere can be heated enough to grow simple plantsD. the planet’s volcanoes become as active as they were in the past73. People may be able to live on the Mars ______.A. within the next 200,000 yearsB. only 200,000 years from nowC. only 150,000 years from nowD. as soon as the planet becomes cool enough74. The author's attitude towards the possibility of life on the Mars in the future isA. doubtfulB. positiveC. negativeD. uninterested75. Which is the best title for this passage?A. The Possibility of Life on the MarsB. Future Conditions on the MarsC. The Mars and the EarthD. A Study of the Climate of the MarsPassage FourIt is physically impossible for a wall-educated intellectual, or a brave man to make money the chief object of his thoughts; as physically impossible as it is for him to make his dinner the principal object of them. All healthy people like their dinner, but their dinner is not the main object of their lives. So all healthy-minded people like making money--ought to like it and to enjoy the satisfaction of winning it; but the main object of their lives is not money; it is something better than money.A good soldier, for instance, mainly wishes to do his fighting well. He is glad of his pay--very properly so, and just complains when you keep him ten months without it; still, his main opinion of life is to win battles, not to be paid for winning them.So of doctors. They like fees no doubt--ought to like them; yet if they are brave and well educated, the entire object of their lives is not fees. They would rather cure their patient and lose their fees than kill him and get it. And so with all other brave and rightly trained men; their work is first, their fees second, very important always, but still second.76. The main idea of this passage is that ______.A. money matters more than workB. money is not necessary at allC. money is as important as workD. money comes second to work in importance77. The passage implies that healthy-minded people best enjoy ______.A. the happiness of accomplishing their workB. the satisfaction of making moneyC. the pleasure of having their dinnerD. the fun of fighting battles78. According to the author, a good soldier ______.A. dislikes his payB. ignores his payC. ought to enjoy his payD. doesn’t complain when kept without pay for months79. The author believes that a good doctorA. makes money the entire object of his lifeB. places curing his patient above allC. doesn't like making moneyD. enjoys his work only80. Which of the following is the chief technique used by the author to support his argument7A. Sharp contrastB. Logical reasoningC. Detailed descriptionD. Illustration with examplesⅤ.

AT THE very last moment, and just before his 50th birthday this week, Barack Obama got the deal that raised the debt ceiling by between $2.1 trillion and $2.4 trillion and so prevented the United States from going into default on his watch. But this does not mean that the roof is not still in danger of falling in on his presidency. The superstar of 2008, who once looked like a shoo-in for re-election, now appears extremely vulnerable. Despite talk that he will raise a record $1 billion war chest, Democrats in Congress have begun to whisper that Mr Obama’s fading chances of winning a second term are coming to depend on the absence—so far—of an exciting Republican challenger.在最后一刻,就在本周奥巴马50岁生日之前,他获得了协议,将债务上限提高2.1-2.4万亿美元,从而避免了美国在他执政期间出现违约。
但是这并不意味着,在他担任总统期间已经毫无危险。
2008年的超级明星曾经看起来必定会连任,但是现在看起来似乎非常不堪一击。
尽管他将融资创纪录的10亿美元,但是国会的民主党人已经开始窃窃私语,奥巴马先生连任的可能性越来越小,是否能连任将取决于是否缺少出众的共和党总统候选人,到目前为止还没有出众的共和党总统候选人。
Single events seldom determine the fate of a presidency. Those who said just over a year ago that the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico would doom Mr Obama were as wrong as those who thought May’s killing of Osama bin Laden would make him unbeatable. The debt fight is in similar danger of being over-interpreted. Mr Obama’s fate depends more on two big bets he placed well before the Republican capture of the House in November’s mid-terms. The health-care reform that chewed up political capital in his first two years tanked with voters, and more than $800 billion of stimulus spending has so far failed to deliver the hoped-for growth in jobs. The outcome of the next election will depend more on unemployment than on Mr Obama’s handling of the past month’s comic opera on the debt ceiling.单一的重大事件很少会决定总统宝座鹿死谁手。
墨西哥湾石油泄漏事件刚刚过去一年多,当时有人说,奥巴马先生将因此连任无望,他们错了。
5月,杀死了奥萨玛•本•拉登,有人因此认为他将不可战胜,他们同样错了。
同理,债务之战也有被过多解读的危险。
在中期选择中,共和党掌控了众议院。
奥巴马的命运更多的是取决于早在此之前他下的两大赌注。
医疗改革耗尽了执政前两年众望所归的政治资本,到目前为止,8000多亿美元的刺激计划并没有带来预期增多的工作机会。
下一届选举的结果将更多地取决于失业率而不是奥巴马处理过去一个月有关债务上限问题喜歌剧的方式。
Mr Obama says that with the debt fight behind him he can now pivot back to jobs. But the comic opera has meanwhile crystallised doubts about the quality of his leadership. After all, the Republicans won this round, even if they did not win everything they wanted. For example, the debt ceiling has been raised by enough to see the country through the far side of the coming election, without another nail-biting stand-off in between. But on the core principle that Mr Obama chose to put at the centre of the fight—the need, for fairness’s sake, to tackle the deficit with tax rises on the rich as well as spending cuts—it was he who gave way.奥巴马先生表示,债务之战已经结束,现在他又将专心工作。
但是同时这场喜歌剧已经证明其领导能力有问题。
毕竟,共和党人赢了这个回合,尽管他们也没有全部如愿以偿。
比如,提高的债务上限足以让这个国家维持到下次选举之后,此间将不会再次出现令人焦虑的僵局。
奥巴马挑选了核心的原则问题——公平地说,在削减开支的同时,必须还要对富人加税才能解决赤字问题——并将它推到了债务之战的风口浪尖,但是最终让步的也是他。
The president, it is true, did not lose the fight because he lost the argument. He lost because he was not willing to be as reckless as the Republicans. Increasing the debt ceiling is a routine operation that allows the government to pay the bills Congress has already run up. By refusing to raise it unless they got their spending cuts, the Republicans in effect pointed a pistol at the economy and threatened to pull the trigger if they were denied. An alarming number of them sounded crazy enough to carry out this threat. Faced with the danger of a default, Mr Obama and his party had little choice but to surrender. And at least the terms of surrender include the creation of a new joint congressional committee that might, in theory, include tax increases as well as spending cuts when it produces the next slice of deficit reduction.诚然,总统输掉了这场战争,但是这并不是因为他输了这场辩论。
他输是因为他不愿意像共和人那样不负责任。
提高债务上限是一次很寻常的操作,从而让政府支付国会已经累积的账单。
除非削减开支,否则共和党人拒绝提高债务上限,实际上他们这是举着枪对准了经济,如果他们被拒绝,他们就要扣动扳机。
大量共和党人似乎疯狂十足,真的这样做了,令人担忧。
面对违约的危险,奥巴马先生及其所属党派别无选择,只能投降。
不过投降的条件至少包括了成立新的联合国会委员会,在理论上,这可能包括在该委员会发布下一份赤字削减计划的时候,在削减开支的同时增加税收。
The troubling question is why Mr Obama fell into this trap in the first place. Could he not have made raising the debt ceiling a condition of extending the Bush-era tax cuts last December? And why did he take so long to show that he cared about putting America’s finances in order? He went to the trouble of creating a bipartisan deficit commission, which at the end of last year produced just the sort of “balanced” a pproach he says he favours. But he then declined either to endorse its findings or present a serious plan of his own. This gave the initiative to the Republicans, who now say, plausibly, that without their brinkmanship there would still have been no start on bringing the debt under control.令人困扰的问题在于奥巴马先生怎么会陷入这个陷阱。
