When you watch television, you hear and see an advertisement. If you turn the pages of a newspaper or magazine, again you find an advertisement. If you walk down the street, you see one advertising board after another. All day, every day, people whowant to sell you something compete to catch your attention. As a result, advertisements are almost everywhere. In the West, advertisements are the fuel that makes mass media work. Many TV stations, newspapers, magazines, radio stations are privately owned. The government does not endorse them. So where does the money come from? From advertisements. Without advertisements, there would be no private businesses.Have you ever asked yourself what advertising is? Through the years, people have given different answers to the question. For some time it was felt that advertising was a means of “keeping yo ur name before the public”, and some people thought that advertising was “truth well told”. Now, more and more people perceive it in this way: advertising is the paid, non-personal, and usually persuasive presentation of goods, services and ideas by some certain sponsors through various media.First, advertising is usually paid for. Various sponsors pay for the advertisements we see, read, and hear over various media. Second, advertising is non-personal. It is not face-to-face communication. Although you may feel that a message in a certain advertisement is aimed directly at you, in reality, it is directed at large groups of people. Third, advertising is usually persuasive. Directly or indirectly it asks people to do something. All advertisements try to make people believe that the product, idea, or service advertised can benefit them. Fourth, the sponsors of the advertisement must show their names. From the advertisement, we can see if the sponsor is a company, or an individual. Fifth, advertising reaches us through traditional and modem mass media. Included in the traditional media are newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and films. Modern media include emails, matchbox covers, and boards on top of buildings.Comprehension Questions:Choose the best answer for the following questions.1. The existence of the privately owned mass media depends on the support of_____.所选答案： C. advertisers2.

The last paragraph is mainly about ____________________.所选答案： B. features of advertisingPassage 2America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways — education, medicine, and business. Quietly the graying of America. has made us a very different society — one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages.A person’s age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position, marriage or he alth. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn’t as strong as it used to be. I t doesn't surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public notions are changing.Many people say, "I am much younger than my mother — or my father — was at my age." No one says "act your age" anymore. We've stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.6. It can be learnt from the text that the aging of the population in America _________.所选答案：C. has changed people’s understandingof age7.

Newspapers and magazines, television, and film all have an influence on how we view the roles of women and men and on how we think they should behave.Four decades ago, traditional women’s magazines such as Good Housekeeping and Family Circle talked to women as though they were children who needed to learnthe basics of how to care for their families. Today, magazines do not do this. However,they still tend to define the female role in terms of homemaking and motherhood, and to offer beauty advice to help women attract men and please husbands. There are now a few less traditional magazines such as Ms. that show women in a range of roles andthat cover a much wider range of topics.Television commercials have also, until recently, presented women primarily as sex objects and as housewives. Young sexy women were shown admiring older menwho smoked a particular cigarette brand. Housewives were shown smiling joyfully about their clean bathrooms, or looking guilty for not using the right laundry soap to wash their husband’s clothes. These days advertisers are more careful about the way they present women, and they are presented in a variety of roles. However, it is still quite common to see advertisements where beautiful young women are dressed in sexy clothes to sellcars or other products. One study also found that the changes are mainly on nighttime television, with daytime commercials still tending to portray women doing householdchores.Prime-time television programs also often used to stereotype women. In past decades, women were usually portrayed as lovers, as mothers, or as weak, passivegirlfriends of powerful, effective men. Toda y’s TV programs are somewhat different.Women are more likely to be presented as successful and able to support themselves and their families, but the traditional stereotypes of women are still there. Even whenwomen are depicted as career women, the storylines suggest that they should be sexy as well.问题1. The best title for this passage is _______所选答案： A. Gender Roles in the Media问题7得3 分，满分3 分2.

However, the first part of the 20th century was very much a one way flow of information as the developments in Westernmedicine flooded into China. In Western countries Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) was relatively unknown until President Nixon’s groundbreaking visit to China in 1971and the accounts of the use of acupuncture for pain control appeared in the New York Times.Since then there has been a rapid growth in the awareness and use of TCM in Western countries. Universities around the world are now offering degrees in TCM. Inthe UK there are several thousand practitioners offering herbal medicines,acupuncture and other techniques within a Western clinical setting.There are several reasons for this rapid rise in popularity. The initial appeal of the foreign culture was replaced by research reports indicating the effectiveness of TCMtreatments. The groundbreaking studies on the successful use of Chinese herbalmedicines in the treatment of eczema at Great Ormond Street Hospital hit the national headlines and established medical journals.TCM is now frequently used for this and many other forms of skin disease.Alongside the evidence supporting the use of TCM there was also a growing sense ofdissatisfaction with the limitations of modern medical treatment. The lack of a holisticperspective, short consultation times and the side effects of pharmaceutical drugshave indicated that more and more people are seeking additional forms of health care.In recent years improved standards of education and professional organization, and anew emphasis on quality control have indicated that now there is a network of wellqualified TCM practitioners offering the benefits of this ancient tradition to the Western public.6.

第2次作业一、阅读理解（本大题共100分，共5小题，每小题20分） 1.Prehistoric men and women enjoyed a more varied diet than people do now, since they ate species of plant and several hundreds thousands types of living things. But only a tiny percentage of these were ever domesticated. Modern shops have hastened a trend towards specialization which began in the earliest days of agriculture. The food of the rich countries has become cheaper relative to wages. It is speedily distributed in supermarkets. But the choice annually becomes less and less great. Even individual foods themselves become more standardized. We live in theworld of carrot specially blunted in order to avoid making a hole in the bag, and the tomato grown to meet a demand for a standard weight of weighting tomatoes to a kilo. Siri von Reis asks: "Only the three major cereals (谷物类食物)and perhaps ten other widely cultivated species stand between famine and survival for the world" s human population and a handful of drug plants has served Western civilization for several thousand years. A rather obvious question arises: Are we missing something?” After all, there are 800 000 species of plant on earth.(1). Tn prehistoric times people.A.ate much more than we do todayB.lived mainly on plant foodC.had a wide-ranging dietD.were more fussy about what they ate(2).Most of us have come to expectA.no variation in our dietB. a reduction in food suppliesC. a specialist dietD.food conforming to a set standard(3). The specialization of food was started byA .B . the emergence of supermarkets the rise of agriculture the rich countries the modern shops （4）.According to the passage, people in the West today survive on.A.carrots and tomatoesB.several thousand types of plants and cerealsc.a very small number of cultivated foodsD. special species planted one thousand years ago（5）. The conclusion seems to be that we.A.could make use of more natural speciesB.don't cultivate the right kind of foodc.produce more food than we needD.cultivate too many different species2.human body is distributed （分布）in two different ways. Some fat people have a large chest and no waistline（腰身），looking rather like apples. Others are fatter below the waist, looking more like pears.Doctors in Cambridge, England have been examining the relationship between health and fat （脂肪）distribution. They find that the pear- shaped fat people have fewer problems than the apple-shaped fat people. What seems to be most important is not how much fat you have but where you have it. The doctors measured the apple-shaped women and peai，--shaped women with X-ray scanners （X 光扫描器）.Human beingshave two types of fat:one is outside fat, that is the fat below the skin, and the other is inside fat that lies inside the body. Using the X-ray scanners, the doctors found that the “apples” have a large amoun t of inside fat.Tf this inside fat is much more than outside fat, it wi11 probably cause heal th problems such as obesi ty (月巴月半症). The best treatment for obesity is to reduce the inside fat. But unfortunately diet treatment (饮食疗法)simply makes an apple-shaped person into a smaller apple and a pear-shaped person into a smaller pear. At the moment there is no effective way of reducing the inside fat.(1).According to the relation between heal th and fatnessA.apple-shaped fat people have fewer problems than pear-shaped peopleB.it' s better to be apple-shaped than to be pear-shapedc.it' s better to be pear-shaped than to be apple-shapedD. fatness is the most dangerous enemy to health(2). The most important thing about fat people seems to beA.the amount of fat they haveB.the knowledge of which typo of the fat people they belong toC.the amount of the outside fat they haveD.the place where they have the fat(3).The basic reason why some people suffer from obesity is that •A.they take very little exercise every dayB.they have much more inside fat than is neededc.they are examined by X-ray scanners quite oftenD.they eat too much(4).According to what is mentioned in the passage, the best treatment for obesity at present is .A.to reduce the amount of food and drinksB.to make the body shape smallerC.already known to those people in troubleD.still to be found.3.University of Arizona researcher Dr. William Rathji says that after a study based on looking into garbage cans, the average family wastes at least $150 per year in food."Homemakers go out of their way to save pennies at the store and thendon't real ize that waste of edible （可食用的）foods adds up much moreat homo," said Dr. Rathji. He was one of about 100 food experts who metin Boise for a conference on food waste and ways to prevent it.American families throw out between 8% and 20% of edible food at a costof $4. 5 billion per year. That" s almost as much as the federal government spends every year for food stamps and child nutrition programs.He found that food items which are costly and in short supply tend to be wasted more. During the 1973 meat shortage, meat waste increased to 9%, compared with 3% in 1974 and 1975. Sugar and sugar products waste jumped to 19% in 1975, when sugar prices doubled from the previous year.Dr. Rathji theorizes that high prices force consumers to experiment, sometimes buy in large quantities. In the case of meat, sometimes low-priced cuts for unappetizing varieties are purchased, consumers then tend to waste more.Ilis theory is that the more variety in food bought, the more wasted. Regular bread is wasted at about a 10% rate, but specialty breads and rolls are wasted at a 20% rate.If people are eating the same thing every day, they learn how to manage it. But if you" re trying to pull something out of the cookbook every night, that's bound to be some waste.Another finding is that lower income families waste less food than middle and upper income families. And the study found that dog food, which accounts for 8% of a shopping cart, is rarely wasted. Fresh produce and frozen items arc more likely to be wasted.The study also showed people with the most knowledge of safe, edible food waste the least. Much food is tossed out because a homemaker suspects it is spoiled when it is not.(1).Large quantities of food are thrown out because a homemaker.A.thinks they are not deliciousB.says they taste bitter and hotC.thinks they smell badD.suspects they are spoiled when they are not(2).American families throw out between of edible food every year.A.5%〜8%B.8%-10%B.20%〜28%D.8%—20%(3).When sugar prices doubled, waste of sugar.A.went downB.went upc.stayed the sameD. was cut in half(4).Which of the following statements is true?A.American housewives are not good homemakers.B.Upper-income families are more wasteful than lower-income ones.c.American families throw away almost as much food as they consume.D.Americans waste a great deal of dog food.（5）.When do American families waste more food?A.When prices arc high.B.When food is scarce.c.When they think it is spoiled.D. Al 1 of the above.4.Harvard University named historian Drew Gilpin Faust as its first female president on Sunday, ending a lengthy and secretive search to find a successor （接任者）to Lawrence Summers .The seven-member Harvard Corporation elected Faust, a noted scholar on History of the American South and dean of Harvards Radcliffe Institutefor Advanced Study, as the university' s 28th president.“This is a great day, and a historic day for Harvard. ” James R. Houghton, chairman of the presidential search committee, said in a statement. "Drew Faust is an inspiring and accomplished leader, a superb scholar, a dedicated （献身的）teacher, and a wonderful human being."Her selection is noteworthy given the heated debates over Summers' comments that genetic differences between the sexes might help explain the lack of women in top science jobs.Faust has been dean of Radcliffe since 2001, two years after the former women" s college was combined into the university as a research center with a mission to study gender issues（性另ij问题）.Some professors have quietly groused that the 371-year-old university is appointing a fifth president who is not a scientist. No scientist has had the top job since James Bryant Conant retired in 1953; its last four have come from the fields of classics, 1aw, literature and economics.Faust is the first Harvard president who did not receive a degree from the university since Charles Chauncy, a graduate of Cambridge University, who died in office in 1762. She attended the University of Pennsylvania.“Teaching staff turned to her constantly. ” said Sheldon Hackney, a former president of the University of Pennsylvania and historian who worked closely with Faust. "She' s very clear. She has a sense of humor, but she' s very strong-minded. You come to trust in her because she' s so solid."(1).Which is NOT true about Drew Gilpin Faust?A.She is the 28th president of Harvard University.B.She is a famous scholar from the American South.c.She isn' t a graduate from Harvard University.D.She was head of Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study.(2).Lawrence Summers held the view that .A.women cannot achieve as much as men in management B.women cannot hold important positions in society c.women can match men in science jobsD.few women make top scientists owing to genes (3).Which might be the best title for the passage? A.Harvard named its 1st female president.B.History of Harvard University changed.c.Debates on female equality ended.D.Drew GiIpin Faust, a famous woman historian.（4）.This passage probably appears in a .A.biographyB.personal letterc.research paperD.newspaper report5.Jessica Alba rebelled（叛离）from her "strict" parents when she was just five. The 29-year-old actress admits her Catholic （天主教）education made her want to "break away" from her mother Catherine and father Mark.She explained: 〃It‘s always been weird（古怪的）because I grew up in a very traditional, Catholic household. Nly parents were very strict but 1 broke away from that at an early age. 1 was a feminist （女权主义者）when 1 was five. These days, 1 am much more independent but 1 still respect their beliefs.，zAs Jessica has grown older she has learnt to accept her parents' views, but still considers herself an independent woman.Tn her latest film 'Machete' Jessica gets to stab（刺）a love rival in the eye with her stiletto heels （鞋后世艮），something she thoroughlyenjoyed.She said: "Walking in 3in heels wasn't as much fun as putting one in someone's eye. It was 104 degrees where we were shooting in Texas and they were not comfortable.Jessica - who has a two-year-old daughter Honor with husband Cash Warren - is regularly referred to as one of the world，s most beautiful women, but she docsn't think of herself as 〃sexy〃.She added in an interview with the Metro newspaper: 〃1 don't really pay attention to that sexy image. It just goes with the character in the movie. At the end of the day, it's all a part of selling a product. 〃(1).Jessica Alba called herself feminist because .A.she didn' t like living with her parentsB.she was brought up in a very poor familyc.she was often against her parentsD.she refused the training and education during her childhood by her parents(2).From this passage we know that .A.Jessica is a very cruel woman who enjoys hurting others B.Jessica acted strangely in her chi 1drenc.Jessica" s parents believe in CatholicD.Jessica rebelled her family because she hated Catholic (3).This passage is mainly about .A.a rebellious movie star JessicaB.a weird womanc.an interview with a newspaperD.a rebellious heart(4).Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage?A.Although she is a rebellious woman, she still respects her parents beliefsB.She likes her characters in the moviec.She cares more about her sexy image because she is very proud of her beautyD.She got married and has a daughter.答案：一、阅读理解（100分，共5题，每小题20分）(1).

senior-friendly products．They knew they were making history when they coined their company motto : "Of the elderly, by the elderly and for the elderly．" They do not hire young people, and the oldest of their workers is 75．Firms run by senior citizens are still a rarity, in Japan and worldwide．But the elderly have numbers on their side．Healthier and longer-living seniors, born immediately after World War II,are reaching retirement age in huge numbers all over the developed world．Extremely low birthrates in those same countries mean there are far fewer young workers to take their place．One likely con-sequence is now clear: shrinking work forces．While the streamlining effects of international competition are focusing attention on the need to create and keep good jobs, those fears will eventually give way to worries about the growing short-age of young workers．One unavoidable solution: putting older people back to work, whether they like it or not．Indeed, advanced economies like those of Finland and Denmark have already raised their retirement ages．Others are under severe pressure to follow suit, as both the European Com-mission and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development have recently warned their members that their future prosperity depends on a growing contribution from the elderly．Whether these changes are good or bad news to workers depends on whether they anticipate retirement with eagerness or dread．In the United States, half of working-age Americans now expect to work into their 70s, whether by financial necessity or by lifestyle choice, according to a new study by Putnam Investments．Contrary to still widespread assumptions, there is very little hard evidence to suggest that com-panies cannot stay competitive with a rising share of older workers．At 13ritish hardware chain B&Q, its "elder worker" stores in Manchester and Exmouth were 18 percent more profitable than its regular outlets--due in part, the company says, to six times less employee turnover and 60 per-cent less shoplifting and breakage．46、Jeeba' s difference from a conventional company mainly lies inA．the age of its employeesB．the number of its ownersC．the quality of its productsD．the scope of its operations47、In the developed world, compared with young people, the elderlyA．are better at businessB．are greater in numberC．have healthier lifestylesD．have more job opportunities48、According to the writer, in the current situation companies are faced with the tough task ofA．creating good positionsB．employing retired workersC．filling vacant positionsD．replacing unskilled workers49、For future prosperity, many European countries will have toA．increase the number of young workersB．offer many senior-friendly jobsC．improve services for seniorsD．raise their retirement ages50、B&Q' s "elder worker" stores are mentioned to show that the employment of older work-ersA．does not reduce a company' s competitivenessB．does not affect older workers' lifestyle ChoicesC．is not a usual practice among competitive firmsD．is not good news to those who are eager to retire根据下列材料，请回答51-65题：Here' s how I want to watch the 2014 Winter Olympics．I want to go to a Web site to see any event I want, whenever I want to watch it, on whatever screen I choose．I' 11 gladly pay．The technology exists to make this happen today．Yet nearly two decades after the introduction of the World Wide Web, this remains a fantasy．NBC, which broadcasted the Vancouver Olympics in the United States, wouldn' t put videos on its Web site until they had been shown on prime-time TV．So Americans had the weird experience of learning from a news report during the day that something fantastic had just happened, and then having to wait until that night' s broadcast to see it．Bloggers complained, but NBC wouldn' t give way．Its research shows that people like me, who want to watch the Olympics online, represent only 7 percent of the total audience．The other, bigger concern is: the Internet doesn' t deliver any money．Advertisers remain willing to pay big money to show their commercials on prime-time TV．But onthe Internet? Not so much．So NBC clings to the old way of doing things．As it sees it, the prime-time show is the most important．To make matters worse, NBC was already expecting to lose $ 250 million on the 2010 Vancouver Games．Good luck persuading it to invest in a risky Web project．It's easy to blame the network executives．But the NBC guys and their like are only doing what makes sense．They're going where the money is．That needs to change．Yes, selling reporting of Olympic events over the Internet would drain away some of the prime-time audience, but my sense is many of the online subscribers would still watch the prime-time show．And over time, the subscription dollars could become a substantial rev- enue stream．Instead of viewing the Internet as a threat to prime time, the TV networks should see the Web as a way to sell even more of their product to a small but passionate subset of their audi-ence．I' m hoping that by 2014, that will have changed．51、According to the writer, watching the Olympics online as one likesA．is technologically impossibleB．is still denied to the audienceC．has been a dream for 20 yearsD．will no longer be free in 201452、We learn that what Americans saw about the Vancouver OlympicsA．was unavailable onlineB．differed from the newsC．seemed weird to themD．was first shown on TV53、Bloggers complained about NBC' sA．neglect of those in the minorityB．excessive online advertisementsC．delay in providing videos onlineD．limited reporting on sports news54、After the 2010 Vancouver Games, NBC is likely toA．improve its prime-time showB．continue its current practiceC．raise its price for advertisingD．try its luck in a web program55、The writer thinks the TV networks should view the Web as a potential to help them toA．make dramatic profitsB．develop new productsC．satisfy their subscribersD．divide prime-time revenues根据下列材料，请回答56-70题：One important thing during the pre-Christmas rush at our house was the arrival of my daughter' s kindergarten report card．She got high praise for her reading, vocabulary and overall en-thusiasm．On the other hand, we learnt that she has work to do on her numbers and facility with the computer, though the detailed handwritten report her teachers prepared is absent of any words that might be interpreted as negative in describing her efforts．A number system indicates how she' s measuring up in each area without any mention of passing or failing．All of which seems to make my daughter' s school neither fish nor fowl when it comes to the debate over the merits of giving formal grades to kids．At one level, the advantages and disadvanta-ges are obvious．A grade system provides a straightforward standard by which to measure how your child is progressing at school--and how he or she is getting on compared to other children．But as writer Sue Ferguson notes, "Grades can deceive．" The aim should be "to measure learning, not simply what a student can recall on a test．" The two aren' t the same--and if you doubt that as an adult, ask yourself whether you could sit down without any preparation and still pass those high-school-level examinations．If you' re old enough, you' ve lived through this debate before．At one time, it was considered unfair to put children in direct competition with one another if it could be avoided．The inten-tion behind tha．t may have been good, but it ignored the fact that competition, and the will to come out on top, are essential components of the human condition．This time around, educators working with a no-grades approach are emphasizing different rea-sons．The thing is, that approach is much more commonplace in the adult workplace than is the tra-ditional pass-fail system we place on our children．Many workplaces conduct regular employee eval-uations．There are usually fairly strict limits to what an employer can tell an employee in those eval-uations-and even then, negative evaluations can be challenged by the employee．No matter where you sit in the debate over the grade system, then, the real question is this: if it' s so good for kids, why isn't that also true for adults?56、The school report indicates that the writer' s daughterA．lacks interest in her school workB．ranks among the best at languageC．has some trouble with her handwritingD．needs to improve in math and computer skills57、We can learn that the girl' s school tries to deliver the reportA．in a positive wayB．in a scientific wayC．in an attractive wayD．in an enthusiastic way58、Sue Ferguson seems dissatisfied with the grade system for its focus onA．the process of getting the knowledgeB．the capability of memorizing for the testC．the procedure of measuring learningD．the standard of comparing schools59、The writer would agree that cutting children off from competition isA．fit for human developmentB．fit for their age and experienceC．against a key part of human natureD．out of consideration for children60、It can be learned that today's educators supporting the no-grades approach insist thatA．kids be allowed to challenge the negative evaluationsB．the traditional teacher-student relationship be changedC．the evaluation system for kids be similar to that for adultsD．strict rules be set up in evaluating school children61、根据下列材料，请回答61-65题：Directions:Read the texts from a magazine in which five people voice their different opinions in response to an article on theissue of praising．For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person (61 to 65) to one of the statements ( A to G) given below．Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET1．Mike :Praise often and sincerely--it' s as simple as that．Employees want to feel needed and appreci-ated．By offering sincere praise with examples about what they did right, you' ll go far in creating an energetic team．Meanwhile, I don't agree with the assertion that "to focus on what needs im-proving isn' t good management．" In fact, it' s the balance of praise along with constructive criti-cism that drives employees to work smarter and reach higher．Frank:This article makes a valid point that needs to be understood, especially for the new generation of workers, my generation．We don' t see ourselves as parts in the machine to be put in the dark to work．My generation needs respect in return from our employer, we need to feel appreciated beyond just a pay check, it' s the difference between being fulfilled at our career and being sad at our job．Joyce :One skill missing in today's workplace is the ability to build effective business relationships．At the core of that relationship is the need for consistent feedback．"How am I doing?" is a ques-tion that should be answered consistently．When you tell an employee once a year what is needed to improve, you have not done your job as a leader--build skills, provide feedback and help the em-ployee grow and develop．Ellen:I don' t see a problem with praising employees when it' s truly deserved ( insincere praise is an entirely different story)．It' s a cost-free "benefit", if you will, in that it allows employees to see that their efforts are both noticed and valued．In the work world there are always people available to tell that you are doing something wrong and far too few occasions when employees are told that they've done something right!Diana:Praise what the employee did．Be specific about why it was helpful．An employee who contin-ually earns yourpraise also deserves your attention as to how else to reward their behavior．Mean-ingful praise encourages people beyond anything else．Written comments are available for later re-view．They give them confidence that they can "do it again．" I never regretted praising an employ-ee who deserved it but often kicked myself for missing an opportunity．Now match the name of each person (61 to 65) to the appropriate statementNote: there are two extra statements．Statements[A]Praise combined with criticism is helpful．[B] Praise can bring about many kinds of desired behavior．[C] Employees may feel it hard to accept．insincere praise．[D] Let employees know exactly for what they are praised．[E] In my opinion, we are not generous enough to give praise．[F] Employees need helpful advice on a

One way is to teach students how to learn more effectively and efficiently. Learning strategies are "Procedures or techniques that learners can use to facilitate a learning task." Instructing students of English in learning strategies can help them become better learners. In addition, skill in using learning strategies assists students in becoming independent, confident learners. Finally, students become more motivated as they begin to understand the relationship between their use of strategies and success in learning English. Students need to develop an awareness of the learning process and strategies that lead to success. Students who reflect on their own thinking are more likely to engage in planning how to proceed with a learning task, monitoring their own performance on an ongoing basis, finding solutions to problems encountered, and evaluating themselves upon task completion. These activities may be difficult for students accustomed to having a teacher who solves all their learning problems and is the sole judge of their progress. Teachers need to encourage students to rely more on themselves. Because learning strategies are mental processes with few observable manifestations, teachers need to find ways to make the strategies as concrete as possible. When students are able to use the strategies their teachers have taught them, and to do so without prompting, then they need to explore new strategies, new applications, and new opportunities for self-regulated learning.(1)、Better learning strategies can make language learning more( ).C、efficient(2)、Students who reflect on their own ( )will be more successful in learning.A、thinking(3)、Teachers should encourage students to rely more on ( )D、themselves(4)、Learning strategies are unobservable mental processes, so teachers should make them ( )C、 more concrete(5)、Which of the following statements is true? ( )C、Students need to explore new learning strategies for themselves.2、E ver since humans have inhabited the earth, they have made use ofvarious forms of communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very picturesque and exact and can be used Internationally; spelling, however, cannot. Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction. Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warn, and instruct people. While verbalization is the most common form of language, other systems and techniques also express human thoughts and feelings.(1)、Which of the following best summarizes this passage? ( )A、When language is a barrier, people will find other forms ofcommunication.(2)、Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage? ( )C、 The deaf and mute do not need sign language for communication.(3)、Which form other than oral speech would be most commonly used among blind people? ( )B、 Braille.(4)、How many different forms of communication are mentioned here? ( )C、 8 — 10(5)、Sign language is said to be very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally as it doesn''t represent ( )A、spellings3、Exercise is one of the few factors with a positive role in long-term maintenance of body weight. Unfortunately, that message has not gottenthrough to the average American, who would rather try switching to “light” beer and low-calorie bread than increase physical exertion. Doctors found that less than one-fourth of overweight adults who were trying to reduce weight said they were combining exercise with their diet. Still, exercise’s supporting role in weight reduction is necessar y. A study confirmed that those who dieted without exercise regained almost all their old weight, while those who worked exercise into their daily routine maintained their new weight.If you have been sedentary and decide to start walking one mile a day, the added exercise could burn an extra 100 calories daily. In a year’ time, assuming no increase in food intake, you could lost ten pounds. By increasing the distance of your walks gradually and making other dietary adjustments, you may lose even more weight.(1)、According to the passage, what is the advantage of exercise mentioned by the author? ( )B、It can help you maintain body weight.(2)、When American people decided to lose their weight, what would they rather try? ( )C、To try some “light” beer and low-calorie bread.(3)、The following statements are true except ( ).A、If people try some special food such as “light” beer when theywant to lose weight, they would not regain their old weight.(4)、The word “reduce” (Para. 1 ) probably means ( ).B、 lose(5)、This passage is mainly about ( ).C、 the relation between lose weight and exercise4、 In 1955, a man named Raymond Kroc entered a partnership with two brothers named McDonald. They opened a popular restaurant in California which sold food that was easy to prepare and serve quickly. Hamburgers, French fries, and cold drinks were the main food there. Kroc opened similar eating places under the same name, "McDonald''s", and they were an instant success. He later took over the company, and today it is one of the most famous and successful "fast-food" in America and the world.Why was his idea so successful? Probably the most important reason was that this timing was right. In the 1950s, most married women stayed home to keep house and take care of their children. In the 1960s, many women returned to the workplace. This meant they had less time and energy to do housework and preparation of meals, so they relied more on "TV dinners" and fast-food restaurant. Single parents also have little time to spend in the kitchen. People living alone also depend on this type of food, sincecooking for one is often more trouble than it is worth.Fast-food is not part of the diet of all Americans. Another trend of the 1960s, sometimes called the back-to-nature movement influenced many people to avoid food that was packaged or processed. The preference for natural foods continues to this day.From the success of Raymond Kroc''s fast-food business, we can say that social economic trends influence where and what we eat.(1)、Cooking for one is more trouble than it is worth" means ( ).D、there are a lot of housework and preparation to do when one personcooks(2)、An idea implied but not directly stated (陈述) in the reading is that ( ).B、natural foods are still popular today(3)、Americans had the "movements" ( ).C、 in 1960s(4)、Why was McDonald''s idea so successful? It was mainly because ( ).D、 his timing was right(5)、The main idea of the reading is that ( ).B、 social and economic changes affect eating habits5、Bill Gates, the head of the world’s biggest computer software company, the Microsoft Corporation, has a mission: “to put a computer on every office desk and in e very home”. Bill Gates has had this mission since he was a university student years ago. This deep personal interest, together with his technical skills and his business marketing skills helped him to create a giant computer company and to make him wealthy. Although he is so wealthy, Bill Gates does not want to give up. He is still very interested in his vision and he travels the globe, making quick stops in cities to sell the new software products of his company.The central vision of Bill Gates is the “information highway”. This is a network for computers that will link every home, office and shop in the future. This computer network system will have an effect on business, shopping and education. Bill Gates says that the main use of this new technology will be in communication. It will be a way to find people with common interests and to share opinions with them.But is this communication by computer along the “information highway” really a good thing? Won’t we be sitting at home, only “socializing” with our computer, paying big companies money so that we can receiveinformation that some large communication corporation somewhere had decided is “acceptable” for us to read? No, says Bill Gates, he thinks that the phrase “information highway” is a terrible phrase. It makes people think that we are all going down the same road, he says. In fact, the computer network will let us choose our own intellectual direction. It will give us freedom. It will also bring good to society, because it will allow for the spread of education. When more and more people receive education, the gap between the rich and the poor will narrow.In the meantime, however, the gap between the rich and the poor is still there. To be added to this now is the gap between those with computers and those without.(1)、Ever since he was a college student, Bill Gates has ________.B、 set up a goal to popularize the computer(2)、Bill Gates’ success depends on the following except__________D、his strong desire to make big money(3)、The word “vision” ( para.3) probably means________.B、 idea(4)、The “information highway” will mainly be used _______A、in human communication(5)、The best title for this passage is probably _________A、Bill Gates, his Vision and Mission6、Although the practice of the old Roman religion disappeared many centuries ago, some traces of the Roman gods are still present in our daily vocabulary. The names of the Roman sun god, Sol, and the moon goddess, Luna, are used frequently in our languageThe word solar describes anything pertaining to the sun, and lunar anything pertaining to the moon. For example, the sun and the planets circling it are called the solar system. The period of time in which the earth circles the sun once is a solar year. The moon takes one lunar month to circle the earth. A lunar year of twelve lunar months is eleven days shorter than a solar year.In some cases our language shows how these heavenly bodies affect us directly. A room or place for sunbathing is often called a solarium. We get our word parasol from the Italian word meaning "a guard against the sun." For many centuries it was believed that the moon affected people who were mentally ill. For this reason persons who were mentally ill were often referred to as lunatics.(1)、In comparison with the solar year, the lunar year is__B、 the same length(2)、A parasol is used to __C、protect us from the gods(3)、The word lunatic originally meant___C、a person on whom the moon had a bad effect(4)、Implied but not stated______D、Mental illness really has nothing to do with the moon.(5)、The best title for this selection is:D、Gods in Our Words.。

How can English teachers accelerate the language learning of their students? One way is to teach students how to learn more effectively and efficiently. Learning strategies are "Procedures or techniquesthat learners can use to facilitate a learning task." Instructing students of English in learning strategies can help them become better learners. In addition, skill in using learning strategies assists students in becoming independent, confident learners.Finally, students become more motivated as they begin to understand the relationship between their use of strategies and success in learning English. Students need to develop an awareness of the learningprocess and strategies that lead to success. Students who reflect on their own thinking are more likely to engage in planning how to proceed with a learning task, monitoring their own performance on an ongoing basis, finding solutions to problems encountered, and evaluating themselves upon task completion. These activities may be difficult for students accustomed to having a teacher who solves all their learning problems and is the sole judge of their progress. Teachers need to encourage students to rely more on themselves. Because learning strategies are mental processes with few observable manifestations, teachers need to find ways to make the strategies as concrete as possible. When students are able to use the strategies their teachers have taught them, and to do so without prompting, then they need to explore new strategies, new applications, and new opportunities for self-regulated learning.(1). Better learning strategies can make language learning more( ).A. funB.interestingC.efficientD.exciting(2). Students who reflect on their own ( )will be more successful in learning.A. thinkingB.evaluationC.performanceD. activities(3). Teachers should encourage students to rely more on ( )A. booksB.notesC.tutorsD.themselves(4). Learning strategies are unobservable mental processes, so teachers should make them ( )A.simplerB.more familiarC.more concreteD. more applicable(5). Which of the following statements is true? ( )A. Students learn learning strategies from the teachers only.B.Learning strategies are completely unobservable.C.Students need to explore new learning strategies for themselves.Teachers are the sole judges of students’ progress.2.Ever since humans have inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which motions stand for letters, words and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words are very picturesque and exact and can be used Internationally; spelling, however, cannot. Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain actions, either intentionally or unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the party is only joking. A nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction. Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smokesignals. Road maps and picture signs also guide, warn, and instruct people. While verbalization is the most common form of language,other systems and techniques also express human thoughts andfeelings.(1). Which of the following best summarizes this passage? ( )A. When language is a barrier, people will find other forms of communication.B.Everybody uses only one form of communication.Nonlinguistic language is invaluable to foreigners.D. Although other forms of communication exist, verbalization is the fastest.(2). Which of the following statements is not true according to the passage? ( )A. There are many forms of communication in existence today.B.Verbalization is the most common form of communication.C.The deaf and mute do not need sign language for communication.D. Ideas and thoughts can be transmitted by language.(3). Which form other than oral speech would be most commonly used among blind people? ( )A. Picture signs.B.Braille.C.Body language.D. Signal flags.(4). How many different forms of communication are mentioned here? ( )A. 2 — 4B.5 — 7C.8 — 10D. Over 10(5). Sign language is said to be very picturesque and exact and canbe used internationally as it doesn''t represent ( )A. spellingsB.whole wordsC.ideasD. feelings3. Exercise is one of the few factors with a positive role in long-term maintenance of body weight. Unfortunately, that message has not gotten through to the average American, who would rather tryswitching to “light” beer and low-calorie bread than increase physical exertion. Doctors found that less than one-fourth of overweight adults who were trying to reduce weight said they were combining exercise with their diet.Still, exercise’s supporting role in weight reduction is necessary.A study confirmed that those who dieted without exercise regained almost all their old weight, while those who worked exercise intotheir daily routine maintained their new weight.If you have been sedentary and decide to start walking one mile a day, the added exercise could burn an extra 100 calories daily. In a year’ time, assuming no increase in food intake, you couldlost ten pounds. By increasing the distance of your walks gradually and making other dietary adjustments, you may lose even more weight.(1). According to the passage, what is theadvantage of exercise mentioned by the author? ( )A. It can help you keep good health.B.It can help you maintain body weight.C. It can help you get rid of illness.D.It can help you find a good job.(2). When American people decided to lose their weight, what would they rather try? ( )A. To do exercise.B. To try some “light” beer.C. To try some “light” beer and low-calorie bread.D. To try both A and C.(3). The following statements are true except ( ).A. If people try some special food such as “light” beer when they want to lose weight, they would not regain their old weight.B. Both the diet and exercise play an important role in losing weight.C. Few American people who were trying to reduce weight would do exercise with their diet.D. If people walk one mile daily, and keep doing so for one year with diet, he would lost ten pounds.(4). The wo rd “reduce” (Para. 1 ) probably means ( ).A. decreaseB. loseC. lessenD. cut down(5). This passage is mainly about ( ).A. the meaning of exerciseB. the way to reduce weightC. the relation between lose weight and exerciseD. the importance of losing weight4.In 1955, a man named Raymond Kroc entered a partnership with two brothers named McDonald. They opened a popular restaurant inCalifornia which sold food that was easy to prepare and serve quickly. Hamburgers, French fries, and cold drinks were the main food there. Kroc opened similar eating places under the same name, "McDonald''s", and they were an instant success. He later took over the company, and today it is one of the most famous and successful "fast-food" in America and the world.Why was his idea so successful? Probably the most important reasonwas that this timing was right. In the 1950s, most married women stayed home to keep house and take care of their children. In the1960s, many women returned to the workplace. This meant they had less time and energy to do housework and preparation of meals, so they relied more on "TV dinners" and fast-food restaurant. Single parents also have little time to spend in the kitchen. People living alone also depend on this type of food, since cooking for one is often more trouble than it is worth.Fast-food is not part of the diet of all Americans. Another trend of the 1960s, sometimes called the back-to-nature movement influenced many people to avoid food that was packaged or processed. The preference for natural foods continues to this day.From the successof Raymond Kroc''s fast-food business, we can say that social economic trends influence where and what we eat.(1). "Cooking for one is more trouble than it is worth" means ( ).A. cooking for several people is worth more moneyB. it is not necessary to take too much time to cook for one personC. there are more problems when one person cooksD. there are a lot of housework and preparation to do when one person cooks(2). An idea implied but not directly stated (陈述) in the reading is that ( ).A. many married women began to work in the 1960sB. natural foods are still popular todayC. fast food is not part of the diet of all AmericansD. divorce causes people to change their eating habits(3). Americans had the "movements" ( ).A. in 1955B.in 1950sC.in 1960sD.both in 1950s and 1960s(4). Why was McDonald''s idea so successful? It was mainly because ( ).A. people living alone depend on fast foodB. single parents have little time to spend in the kitchenC. many women returned to the workplace in 1960sD. his timing was right(5). The main idea of the reading is that ( ).A. Raymond Kroc is the most successful fast-food business owner in the worldB. social and economic changes affect eating habitsC. fast-food is easy to prepare and serve quicklyD. Americans eat either fast food or natural food5. Bill Gates, the head of the world’s biggest computer software company, the Microsoft Corporation, has a mission: “to put a computer on every office desk and in every home”. Bill Gates has had this mission since he was a university student years ago. This deep personal interest, together with his technical skills and his business marketing skills helped him to create a giant computer company and to make him wealthy.Although he is so wealthy, Bill Gates does not want to give up. He is still very interested in his vision and he travels the globe, making quick stops in cities to sell the new software products of his company.The central vision of Bill Gates i s the “information highway”. This is a network for computers that will link every home, office and shop in the future. This computer network system will have an effect on business, shopping and education. Bill Gates says that the main use of this new technology will be in communication. It will be a way to find people with common interests and to share opinions with them. But is this communication by computer along the “information highway” really a good thing? Won’t we be sitting at home, only “socializing” with our computer, paying big compan ies money so that we can receive information that some large communication corporation somewhere had decided is “acceptable” for us to read? No, says Bill Gates, he thinks that the phrase “information highway” is aterrible phrase. It makes people think that we are all going down thesame road, he says. In fact, the computer network will let uschoose our own intellectual direction. It will give us freedom. It will also bring good to society, because it will allow for the spread of education. When more and more people receive education, the gap between the rich and the poor will narrow.In the meantime, however, the gap between the rich and the poor is still there. To be added to this now is the gap between those with computers and those without.(1). Ever since he was a college student, Bill Gates has ________.A. become very interested in the computerB. set up a goal to popularize the computerC. discovered great potentials in computer businessD. dreamed of having a giant computer company(2). Bill Gates’ success depends on the following except__________A. his vision and his travel over the globeB. his technical skills and business marketing skillsC. his deep personal interest in developing computer scienceD. his strong desire to make big money(3). Th e word “vision” ( para.3) probably means________.A. SightB. ideaC. effortD. daydream(4). The “information highway” will mainly be used _______A. in human communicationB. to help link every home, office and shopC. in business, shopping and educationD. to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor(5). The best title for this passage is probably _________A. Bill Gates, his Vision and MissionB. Computer and InformationC. Advantages of the Computer NetworkD. One of the World’s Computer Gia nts6. Although the practice of the old Roman religion disappeared many centuries ago, some traces of the Roman gods are still present in our daily vocabulary. The names of the Roman sun god, Sol, and the moon goddess, Luna, are used frequently in our languageThe word solar describes anything pertaining to the sun, and lunar anything pertaining to the moon. For example, the sun and the planets circling it are called the solar system. The period of time in which the earth circles the sun once is a solar year. The moon takes one lunar month to circle the earth. A lunar year of twelve lunar months is eleven days shorter than a solar year.In some cases our language shows how these heavenly bodies affect us directly. A room or place for sunbathing is often called a solarium. We get our word parasol from the Italian word meaning "a guard against the sun." For many centuries it was believed that the moon affected people who were mentally ill. For this reason persons who were mentally ill were often referred to as lunatics.(1). In comparison with the solar year, the lunar year is__A. twice as longB. the same lengthC. C shorterD. a few days longer(2). A parasol is used to __A. measure solar timeB. protect us from the sun^ raysC. protect us from the godsD. view the sun during the day(3). The word lunatic originally meant___A. twelve lunar monthsB. the home of the moon goddessC. a person on whom the moon had a bad effectD. a guard against the moon(4). Implied but not stated______A. A solar year lasts about 354 days.B. Sol was the Roman sun god.C. Our calendar is based on the movements of the moon.D. Mental illness really has nothing to do with the moon.(5). The best title for this selection is:A. The Gods of Rome.B. The Rhythm of the Universe.C. Ancient Beliefs.D.Gods in Our Words.答案：一、单项选择题（40分，共 40 题，每小题 1 分）1. A2. B3. B4. A5. A6. D7. B8. A9. C 10.

and old woman") to make senior-friendly products．They knew they were making history when they coined their company motto : "Of the elderly, by the elderly and for the elderly．" They do not hire young people, and the oldest of their workers is 75．Firms run by senior citizens are still a rarity, in Japan and worldwide．But the elderly have numbers on their side．Healthier and longer-living seniors, born immediately after World War II,are reaching retirement age in huge numbers all over the developed world．Extremely lowbirthrates in those same countries mean there are far fewer young workers to take their place．One likely con-sequence is now clear: shrinking work forces．While the streamlining effects of international competition are focusing attention on the need to create and keep good jobs, those fears will eventually give way to worries about the growing short-age of young workers．One unavoidable solution: putting older people back to work, whether they like it or not．Indeed, advanced economies like those of Finland and Denmark have already raised their retirement ages．Others are under severe pressure to follow suit, as both the European Com-mission and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development have recently warned their members that their future prosperity depends on a growing contribution from the elderly．Whether these changes are good or bad news to workers depends on whether they anticipate retirement with eagerness or dread．In the United States, half of working-age Americans now expect to work into their 70s, whether by financial necessity or by lifestyle choice, according to a new study by Putnam Investments．Contrary to still widespread assumptions, there is very little hard evidence to suggest that com-panies cannot stay competitive with a rising share of older workers．At 13ritish hardware chain B&Q, its "elder worker" stores in Manchester and Exmouth were 18 percent more profitable than its regular outlets--due in part, the company says, to six times less employee turnover and 60 per-cent less shoplifting and breakage．46、Jeeba' s difference from a conventional company mainly lies inA．the age of its employees B．the number of its ownersC．the quality of its products D．the scope of its operations47、In the developed world, compared with young people, the elderlyA．are better at business B．are greater in numberC．have healthier lifestyles D．have more job opportunities48、According to the writer, in the current situation companies are faced with the tough task of A．creating good positions B．employing retired workersC．filling vacant positions D．replacing unskilled workers49、For future prosperity, many European countries will have toA．increase the number of young workers B．offer many senior-friendly jobsC．improve services for seniors D．raise their retirement ages50、B&Q' s "elder worker" stores are mentioned to show that the employment of older work-ers A．does not reduce a company' s competitivenessB．does not affect older workers' lifestyle ChoicesC．is not a usual practice among competitive firmsD．is not good news to those who are eager to retireText 2Here' s how I want to watch the 2014 Winter Olympics．I want to go to a Web site to see any event I want, whenever I want to watch it, on whatever screen I choose．I' 11 gladly pay．The technology exists to make this happen today．Yet nearly two decades after theintroduction of the World Wide Web, this remains a fantasy．NBC, which broadcasted the Vancouver Olympics in the United States, wouldn' t put videos on its Web site until they had been shown on prime-time TV．So Americans had the weird experience of learning from a news report during the day that something fantastic had just happened, and then having to wait until that night' s broadcast to see it．Bloggers complained, but NBC wouldn' t give way．Its research shows that people like me, who want to watch the Olympics online, represent only 7 percent of the total audience．The other, bigger concern is: the Internet doesn' t deliver any money．Advertisers remain willing to pay big money to show their commercials on prime-time TV．But on the Internet? Not so much．So NBC clings to the old way of doing things．As it sees it, the prime-time show is the most important．To make matters worse, NBC was already expecting to lose $ 250 million on the 2010 Vancouver Games．Good luck persuading it to invest in a risky Web project．It's easy to blame the network executives．But the NBC guys and their like are only doing what makes sense．They're going where the money is．That needs to change．Yes, selling reporting of Olympic events over the Internet would drain away some of the prime-time audience, but my sense is many of the online subscribers would still watch the prime-time show．And over time, the subscription dollars could become a substantial rev- enue stream．Instead of viewing the Internet as a threat to prime time, the TV networks should see the Web as a way to sell even more of their product to a small but passionate subset of their audi-ence．I' m hoping that by 2014, that will have changed．51、According to the writer, watching the Olympics online as one likesA．is technologically impossible B．is still denied to the audienceC．has been a dream for 20 years D．will no longer be free in 201452、We learn that what Americans saw about the V ancouver OlympicsA．was unavailable online B．differed from the newsC．seemed weird to them D．was first shown on TV53、Bloggers complained about NBC' sA．neglect of those in the minority B．excessive online advertisementsC．delay in providing videos online D．limited reporting on sports news54、After the 2010 Vancouver Games, NBC is likely toA．improve its prime-time show B．continue its current practiceC．raise its price for advertising D．try its luck in a web program55、The writer thinks the TV networks should view the Web as a potential to help them to A．make dramatic profits B．develop new productsC．satisfy their subscribers D．divide prime-time revenuesText 3One important thing during the pre-Christmas rush at our house was the arrival of my daughter' s kindergarten report card．She got high praise for her reading, vocabulary and overallen-thusiasm．On the other hand, we learnt that she has work to do on her numbers and facility with the computer, though the detailed handwritten report her teachers prepared is absent of any words that might be interpreted as negative in describing her efforts．A number system indicates how she' s measuring up in each area without any mention of passing or failing．All of which seems to make my daughter' s school neither fish nor fowl when it comes to the debate over the merits of giving formal grades to kids．At one level, the advantages and disadvanta-ges are obvious．A grade system provides a straightforward standard by which to measure how your child is progressing at school--and how he or she is getting on compared to other children．But as writer Sue Ferguson notes, "Grades can deceive．" The aim should be "to measure learning, not simply what a student can recall on a test．" The two aren' t the same--and if you doubt that as an adult, ask yourself whether you could sit down without any preparation and still pass those high-school-level examinations．If you' re old enough, you' ve lived through this debate before．At one time, it was considered unfair to put children in direct competition with one another if it could be avoided．The inten-tion behind tha．t may have been good, but it ignored the fact that competition, and the will to come out on top, are essential components of the human condition．This time around, educators working with a no-grades approach are emphasizing different rea-sons．The thing is, that approach is much more commonplace in the adult workplace than is the tra-ditional pass-fail system we place on our children．Many workplaces conduct regular employee eval-uations．There are usually fairly strict limits to what an employer can tell an employee in those eval-uations-and even then, negative evaluations can be challenged by the employee．No matter where you sit in the debate over the grade system, then, the real question is this: if it' s so good for kids, why isn't that also true for adults?56、The school report indicates that the writer' s daughterA．lacks interest in her school work B．ranks among the best at languageC．has some trouble with her handwriting D．needs to improve in math and computer skills57、We can learn that the girl' s school tries to deliver the reportA．in a positive way B．in a scientific way C．in an attractive way D．in an enthusiastic way58、Sue Ferguson seems dissatisfied with the grade system for its focus onA．the process of getting the knowledge B．the capability of memorizing for the testC．the procedure of measuring learning D．the standard of comparing schools59、The writer would agree that cutting children off from competition isA．fit for human development B．fit for their age and experienceC．against a key part of human nature D．out of consideration for children60、It can be learned that today's educators supporting the no-grades approach insist that A．kids be allowed to challenge the negative evaluationsB．the traditional teacher-student relationship be changedC．the evaluation system for kids be similar to that for adultsD．strict rules be set up in evaluating school childrenSECTION III Reading Comprehension Part B(40 minutes)Directions:Read the texts from a magazine in which five people voice their different opinions in response to an article on the issue of praising．For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each person (61 to 65) to one of the statements ( A to G) given below．Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET1．Mike :Praise often and sincerely--it' s as simple as that．Employees want to feel needed and appreci-ated．By offering sincere praise with examples about what they did right, you' ll go far in creating an energetic team．Meanwhile, I don't agree with the assertion that "to focus on what needs im-proving isn' t good management．" In fact, it' s the balance of praise along with constructive criti-cism that drives employees to work smarter and reach higher．Frank:This article makes a valid point that needs to be understood, especially for the new generation of workers, my generation．We don' t see ourselves as parts in the machine to be put in the dark to work．My generation needs respect in return from our employer, we need to feel appreciated beyond just a pay check, it' s the difference between being fulfilled at our career and being sad at our job．Joyce :One skill missing in today's workplace is the ability to build effective business relationships．At the core of that relationship is the need for consistent feedback．"How am I doing?" is a ques-tion that should be answered consistently．When you tell an employee once a year what is needed to improve, you have not done your job as a leader--build skills, provide feedback and help the em-ployee grow and develop．Ellen:I don' t see a problem with praising employees when it' s truly deserved ( insincere praise is an entirely different story)．It' s a cost-free "benefit", if you will, in that it allows employees to see that their efforts are both noticed and valued．In the work world there are always people available to tell that you are doing something wrong and far too few occasions when employees are told that they've done something right!Diana:Praise what the employee did．Be specific about why it was helpful．An employee who contin-ually earns your praise also deserves your attention as to how else to reward their behavior．Mean-ingful praise encourages people beyond anything else．Written comments are available for later re-view．They give them confidence that they can "do it again．" I never regretted praising an employ-ee who deserved it but often kicked myself for missing an opportunity．Now match the name of each person (61 to 65) to the appropriate statementNote: there are two extra statements．Statements[A]Praise combined with criticism is helpful．[B] Praise can bring about many kinds of desired behavior．[C] Employees may feel it hard to accept．insincere praise．[D] Let employees know exactly for what they are praised．[E] In my opinion, we are not generous enough to give praise．[F] Employees need helpful advice on a regular basis．[G] Money alone cannot guarantee a sense of career fulfillment for me．61、Mike62、Frank63、Joyce64、Ellen65、DianaSECTION IV Writing Part A(40 minutes)You

It listed all the tradesmen in each village in my part of the country, and it was impressive to see the great variety of services which were available on one'''' s own doorstep in the late Victorian countryside. Nowadays a superficial traveller in rural England might conclude that the village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the inhabitants or selling antiques to visitors. Nevertheless, this would really be a false impression. Admittedly there has been a contraction （收缩） of village commerce, but its vigor is still remarkable.Our local grocer''''s shop, for example, is actually expanding inspite of the competition from supermarkets in the nearest town. Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local news while doing their shopping, instead of queuing （排队） up at a supermarket. And the proprietor （店主） knows well that personal service has a substantial cash value.His prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, but he will deliver anything at any time. His assistants think nothing ofbicycling on the village street in their lunch hour to take a pieceof cheese to an old age pensioner （领养老金） who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing. The more affluent customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods areon their doorsteps within an hour. They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodity outside the usual stock and the grocer, a red-faced figure, instantly obtains it for them.The village gains from this sort of enterprise, of course. But I also find it satisfactory because a village shop offers one of the few ways in which a modest individualist can still get along in the world without attaching himself to the big battalions of industry or commerce. The writer implies that one disadvantage of town shops is that __.A. their prices are higherB. people cannot telephone themC. their staff may make less trouble to satisfy customersD. one has 10 queue up to pay in them11. A man walked into a restaurant that advertised having the longest menu in the world. The manager was very proud of being able toprovide any dish, no matter how unusual.At the bottom of the menu, there was a notice that said, “If you do not see the dish you require on this menu, please tell us and we will add i t to the menu immediately.”The man looked at the menu and decided to make life really difficult for the manager and his chef. He would order something that was very unusual.When the waiter came up to take his order, he said, “You say you can serve any dish, anything at all, even if it''''s not on your menu, which is the longest menu in the world.”“That is correct, sir. We have never yet been unable to meet our customers'''' requirements.”“Very well,” the man said. “In that case, bring me two elephan t ears on toast. Indian, not African.”The waiter wrote down on his pad：Two Indian elephant ears on toast. “Very good, sir”, he said. “That shouldn''''t take long. ”He walked away quickly.The man was very surprised and rather disappointed.Then he smiled as the waiter returned with a very unhappy look on his face.“Ah! ”the man said. “You can’t bring me elephant ears on toast, can you? ”The waiter was very apologetic.“I’m very sorry, sir, and this is most embarrassing, ” he said, “but I’m afraid we can’t. Unfortunately, we’ve run out ofbread. ” the waiter was unhappy because _____ .A. the man didn''''t order elephant earsB. they had no elephant to cookC. they didn''''t want to serve the customerD. the chef didn''''t know how to cook the elephant ears12.

Next day, this news appeared on page two of the town''s newspaper. The Beldon Post.FIRE AT SEABREEZELATE LAST NIGTH FIREMEN HURRIED TO THE Seabreeze Hotel and quickly put out a smallfire in a bedroom. The hotel manager said that a cigarette started the fire.

Children will put anything in their mouths—smallparts of a toy, jewelry, tacks, and coins. The way to protect them is to keep small items out of their reach.Some foods can cause young children to choke. Round, hard foods are especially dangerous to young children.You can go and ask your doctor if your child is old enough to have foods like hot dogs, nuts, carrots, and grapes. For these foods can easily fix in a child'' s throat and be very hard to get out.There are other safety warnings you should keep in mind. Do not let your child run with anything in his or her mouth.

Our lives would be the same. We would have to use bikes, horses, or our feet to get to places. And we couldn''t go as far as we are used to going. But we do have cars. With cars, people can come and go as they please. They can work far from home. Many people live in the country. But they work in the city. Most of them get there in cars. This means that there are a lot of cars on the road.Are there too many cars on the road? Some people think so. So they are asking that we take trains and buses. But not everyone can do this. Some people must take their cars. This is because no trains or buses go where they have to go. Maybe other people could go to work with them. Then there wouldn''t be so many cars on the road.What will our lives be like in times to come? Maybe we won''t need cars so much. Maybe more of us will work at home. Maybe trains and buses will go to more places. Then more people will be in them. This will mean more room on our streets and roads.It would be nice if people walk more. They might like to step along a street or road. They would not get far very fast. But they would have the time to look around them. Who knows? They might even feel better, too!(1). What's not the possible reason why there are a lot of cars on the road?A.Because everyone likes to drive his own car to do whatever he likes.B.Because the number of trains and buses is small.C.Because many people who live in the country go to work in cars in the city.D. Because it is more convenient for people to go to places in cars than other means.(2). According to the author, which of the following is not the reason why the number of cars willbe reduced in the future?A. More people will work at home.B.Trains and buses will go to more places.C.More people will take buses and trains.D. People won't need so many cars.(3).

What does the underlined word "please" here mean?A.to goB.to meanC.to planD. to love(5). What's the writer's opinion in this passage?A. We should use more carsB.We should use fewer cars.C.We should not use carsD. We should take good care of cars.4. Long ago there was a little boy who wanted to be a soldier more than anything else in the world. His brothers and sisters playedother games while he was playing soldier. Later he went to a military （军事的) school and studied very hard. When he was less than eighteen, he became a soldier. But the small man wanted power (t权力). He wanted to tell people and nations and the whole world what to do. He kept on working and studying until he became a general in the French Army. His name was Napoleon Bonaparte, and he finally became emperor of France. He was famous as an emperor and for a while he won all the wars and became a national hero. But he was not a kind man.He could be charming (迷人的) when he wanted to be. But he was also rude and very cruel, and many people died so that he could win his wars. Napoleon did one thing that was very important to the United States. He sold a huge piece of land in North America to the Untied States and got a lot of money and he could go on fighting a war with England. And Napoleon rose to great power. Then things began to go badly for him. In June of 1815 he lost the Battle of Waterloo (滑铁卢) to England and his days of power and greatness were suddenly over.And six years later he died on a far rocky island.(1). The little boy wanted to be a soldier, so( ).A. he didn't play with his brothersB. he read a lot of military booksC. he often played soldier aloneD. he joined the army when he was young”(2).

Some radio broadcastingstations use hotlines to encourage the listeners to take part in the talk shows.That''s a good idea. Yet, the fact is, some people do nothing but break the whole programme. Some people know little about the topic under discussion. Sometimes they do not even know what the host (主持人) is talking about. So the host has to tell the caller what the show is about. Usually the caller will ask a few questions which express hope and show his ignorance (无知}. Then the host has to answer and explain——how silly this is! It wastes a lot of time.It seems that some people phone the hotlines in fun. They just wantto let the listeners hear them. They don''t care what the topic is, whether they themselves are interested in or how silly they appear to be.I think that it''s necessary for radio stations to improve the hotline programmes. In my opinion, if a caller doesn''t know what is going on, the operator should not let the callers take part in it.(1). The sentence "some people do nothing but break the whole programmes" may tell us that ( ).A.radio stations use hotlines in a wrong wayB.it is a factC.it is a good ideaD. some people have unclear thoughts(2). According to the passage, which of the following is not true?A.Some people do not know what the host is talking about.B.Some people know little about the topic under discussion.C.Some people do not know what the show is about.D. The writer tells us that the host is silly.(3). The host has to answer and explain ( ).A.for the host works hardB.because of the caller's ignoranceC.for the host likes talking to the callerD. because a lot of questions are raised by the caller(4). The passage doesn't tell us ( ).A.that some listeners phone the hotline in funB.that some people just want to be heard by othersC.that some people who don't care what the topic is realize that they appear to be sillyD. what the hotlines programmes are(5). The underlined word "operator" in the last sentence refers tothe ( ).A.HostB.ListenerC.DoctorD. both A and B6.One afternoon in April a year ago, I first saw the strange and appealing doll in the window of a toyshop. The shop was just around the corner from my office. I still remember how it was that day: the first sign of spring mixing with the soft coal smoke from thefactories and the street smells of the poor neighborhood.As I turned the corner on my way to office, I once more looked at the poor collection of toys in the dusty window. And then I remembered the coming birthday of my small niece in Cleveland. For years I was inthe habit of sending gifts to her. Therefore I stopped and examined the window to see if there might be anything appropriate. I looked at the collection of unappealing objects–a red toy fire engine, some lead soldiers, cheap baseballs, bottles of ink, pens, yellowed stationery (文具), and garish (俗气的) advertisements for soft-drink. And when I was about to leave because of disappointment, my eyes eventually came to the doll in one corner, a doll with the strangest, most charming expression on her face. I could not wholly make her out, due to the shadows, but I knew that a great impression had been made upon me.(1). What made an impression on the author?A. The doll’s unusual face.B.The collection of toys.C.A stranger he met at the store.D.The expressions of the doll to his niece.(2). Why does the author mention his niece?A.She likes dolls.B.The doll looks like her.C.She lives near Cleveland.D. She was looking for a gift for her.(3).

Most of the things in the store window were ( )A.expensiveB.appealingC.neatly arrangedD. unattractive答案：一、单项选择题（40分，共 40 题，每小题 1 分）1. D2. D3. A4. A5. B6. C7. D8. D9. A 10. C 11. C 12. A 13. A14.
