Being the cautious type, I fancied a reliable brand. So I went on the net, spent 15 minutes reading product reviews on good websites, wrote down the names of three top remendations and headed for my nearest big friendly camera store. There in the cupboard was one of the cameras on my list. And it was on special offer. Oh joy, I pointed at it and asked an assistant, “Can I have one of those?” He looked perturbed (不安). “Do you want to try it first?” he said, It didn’t quite sound like a question. “Do I need to?” I replied ,“There is nothing wrong with it？” This made him look a bit insulted and I started to feel bad, “No, no, but you should try it,” he said encouraging ,“pare it with the others.”I looked across at the others: shelves of similar cameras placed along the wall, offering a wide range of slightly different prices and discounts, with each pany selling a range of models based around the same basic box. With so many models to choose from, it seemed that I would have to spend hours weighing X against Y, always trying to take Z and possibly H into account at the same time. But when I had finished, I would still have only the same two certainties that I had entered the store with: first, soon after I carried my new camera out of the shop., it would be worth half what I paid for it; and second, my wonderful camera would very quicklybe replaced by a new model.But something in the human soul whispers that you can beat these trapsby making the right choice, the clever choice, the wise choice. In theend , I agreed to try the model I had chosen. The assistant seemed a sincereman . So I let him take out of my chosen camera from cupboard, show howit took excellent pictures of my fellow shoppers… and when he startedto introduce the special features, I interrupted to ask whether I neededto buy a carry-case and a memory card as well.Why do we think that new options (选择) still offer us anything new? Perhaps it is because they offer an opportunity to avoid facing the factthat our real choices in this culture are far more limited than we wouldlike to imagine.41.The shop assistant insisted that the writer shouldA. get more information about different panies.B. pare the camerahe had chosen with others.C. try the camera to see if there was anything wrong with it.D. trusthim and stop asking questions.42. What does the writer mean by “it would be worth half what I paid forit ”(paragraph 2)A. He should get a 50% discount.B. the price of the camera was unreasonably high.C. the quality of the camera was not good.D. the camera would soonfall in value.43. The writer decided to try the model he had chosen becauseA. knew very little about it.B. had a special interest in taking pictures of his fellow shoppers.C. wanted to make sure the one he chose would be the best.D. didn’t trust the shop assistant.44. It can be inferred from the passage that in the writer’s opinion,A.. famous panies care more about profit than qualityB. cameras have an important part of our daily lifeC. we don’t actually need so many choices when buying a productD. people waste too much money on cameras.CYou may think that sailing is a difficult sport, but it is really not hard to learn it．You do not need to be strong．But you need to be quick．And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.First, you must ask yourself, “Where is the wind ing from? Is it ing from ahead or behind or from the side?” You must th ink about this all the time on the boat．The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.Let's start with the wind blowing from the behind．This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction．Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat．It should be at a 90° angle (角度) to the boat．Then it will catch the wind best.If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat．In this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat．It should be at a 45° angle to the b oat．It needs to be out far enough to catchthe wind, but it shouldn't flap (摆动)．It shouldn't look like on a flagpole．If it is flapping, it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down.Sailing into the wind is not possible．If you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop．You may want to go in that direction．It is possible, but you can't go in a straight line．You must go first in one direction and then in another．This is called tacking．When you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat.45．What should you consider first while sailing?A．Sailors' strength. B．Wave levels. C．Wind directions. D．Size of sails.46．What does the word “It” underlined in Paragraph 4 refer to?A．The boat. B．The wind. C．The sail. D．The angle.47．What do you have to do when sailing against the wind?A．Move in a straight line. B．Allow the sail to flap.C．Lower the sail. D．Tack the boat.48．Where can you probably find the text?AIn a popular magazine. BIn a tourist guidebook.CIn a physics textbook. DIn an official report.DAsk someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course. However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the resultsof that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.The total amount of packaging increased by 12% between xx and xx. It now makes up a third of a typical household’s waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example, is running out of it for carrying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are ing round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example.But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to associate packaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality. This is especially true of food. But is also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realise just how much unnecessary material are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.49. What does the underlined phrase “over-consumption” refer to?A. Using too much packaging.B. Recycling too many wastes.C. Making more products than necessary.D. Having more material than is needed.50. The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show _______.A. the tendency of cutting household wasteB. the increase of packaging recyclingC. the rapid growth of super marketsD. the fact of packaging overuse51. According to the text, recycling ______.A. helps control the greenhouse effectB. means burning packaging for energyC. is the solution to gas shortageD. leads to a waste of land52. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A. Unpackaged products are of bad quality.B. Supermarkets care more about packaging.C. It is improper to judge quality by packaging.D. Other products are better packaged than food.53. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Fighting wastefulness is difficult.B. Needless material is mostly recycled.C. People like collecting recyclable waste.D. The author is proud of their consumer culture.EWhen women sit together to watch a movie on TV, they usually talk simultaneously（同时的）about a variety of subjects, including children, men, careers and what' s happening in their lives. When groups of men and women watch a movie together, the men usually end up telling the women to shut up. Men can either talk or watch the screen -- they can' t do both -- and they don' t understand that women can. Besides, women consider that the point of all getting together is to have a good time and develop relationships -- not just to sit there like couch potatoes staring at the screen.During the ad breaks, a man often asks a woman to explain the plot and tell him where the relationship between the characters is going. He is unable, unlike women, to read the subtle body language signals that reveal how the characters are feeling emotionally. Since women originally spent their days with the other women and children in the group, they developed the ability to municate successfully in order to maintain relationships. For a woman, speech continues to have such a clear purpose: to build relationships and make friends. For men, to talk is to relate the facts.Men see the telephone as a munication tool for sending facts and information to other people, but a woman sees it as a means of bonding.A woman can spend two weeks on vacation with her girlfriend and, when she returns home, telephone the same girlfriend and talk for another two hours.There is no convincing evidence that social conditioning, the factthat girls' mothers talked them more, is the reason why girls talk more than boys. Psychiatrist Dr Michael Lewis, author of Social Behaviour and Language Acquisition, conducted experiments that found mothers talked to and looked at, baby girls more often than baby boys. Scientific evidence shows parents respond to the brain bias of their children. Since a girl’s brain is better organized to send and receive speech，we therefore talk to them more. Consequently, mothers who try to talk to their sons are usually pointed to receive only short grunts in reply.54. While watching TV with others, women Usually talk a lot because theyA. are afraid of awkward silence with their families and friendsB. can both talk and watch the screen at the Same timeC. think they can have a good time and develop relationshipsD. have to explain the plot and body language to their husbands55. After a vacation with her girlfriend, a woman would talk to her again on the phone for hours in order to .A. experience the happy time againB. keep a close tie with herC. remend her a new scenic spotD. remind her of something forgotten56. What does the author want to tell us most?A. Women' s brains are better organized for language and municationB. Women love to talk because they are more sociable than men.C. Men do not like talking because they rely more on facts.D. Social conditioning is not the reason why women love talking.57. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Women Are Socially Trained to TalkB. Talking MaintainsRelationshipsC. Women Love to TalkD. Men Talk Differently from WomenFADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia –One of the world’s most famous fossils (化石) – the 3.2 million-year-old Lucy skeleton (骨骼) unearthed in Ethiopia in 1974 – will go on an exhibition tour abroad for the first time in the United States, officials said Tuesday.Even the Ethiopian public has only seen Lucy twice. The Lucy on exhibition at the Ethiopian National Museum in the capital, Addis Ababa, is a replica while the real remains are usually locked in a secret storeroom. A team from the Museum of National Science in Houston, Texas, spent four years discussing with the Ethiopians for the U.S. tour, which will start in Houston next September.“Ethiopia’s rich culture of both the past and today, is one of the best kept secrets in the world,” said Joel Bartsch, director of the Houston museum.The six-year tour will also go to Washington, New York, Denver and Chicago. Officials said six other U.S. cities may be on the tour. But they said plans had not been worked out.Travelling with Lucy will be 190 other fossils.Lucy, her name taken from a Beatles song that played in a camp the night of her discovery, is part of the skeleton of what was once a 3.5-foot-tall ape-man (猿人).58. The author writes this text mainly to ___ .A. introduce a few U.S. museumsB. describe some research workC. discuss the value of an ape-manD. report a ing event59. What does the words “a replica” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. A painting of the skeleton.B. A photograph of LucyC. A copy of the skeleton.D. A written record of Lucy.60. How many cities has Lucy’s U.S. tour plan already included?A. Four.B. Five.C. Six.D. Eleven.GEmpathyLast year, researchers from the University of Michigan reported that empathy, the ability to understand other people, among college students had dropped sharply over the past 10 years. __61__ Today, people spend more time alone and are less likely to join groups and clubs. Jennifer Freed, a co-director of a teen program, has another explanation. Turn on the TV, and you’re showered with news and reality shows full of people fighting, peting, and generally treating one another with no respect. __62__There are good reasons not to follow those bad examples. Humans are socially related by nature. __63__ Researchers have also found that empathetic teenagers are more likely to have high self-respect. Besides, empathy can be a cure for loneliness, sadness, anxiety, and fear. Empathy is also an indication of a good leader. In fact, Freed says, many top panies report that empathy is one of the most important things theylook for in new managers. __64__ “Academics are important. But if you don’t have emotional (情感的) intelligence, you won’t be as successful in work or in your love life,” she says.What’s the best way to up your EQ (情商）? For starters, let down your guard and really listen to others. __65__To really develop empathy, you’d better volunteer at a nursing home or a hospital, join a club or a team that has a diverse membership, have a “sharing circle” wi th your family, or spend time caring for pets at an animal shelter.A.Everyone is different, and levels of empathy differ from person to person.B.That could be because so many people have replaced face time with screen time, the researchers said.C.“One doesn’t develop empathy by having a lot of opinions and doing a lot of talking,” Freed says.D.Humans learn by example—and most of the examples on it are anything but empathetic.E.Empathy is a matter of learning how to understand someone else—both what they think and how they feel.F.Good social skills—including empathy—are a kind of “emotional intelligence” that will help you succeed in many areas of life.G.Having relationships with other people is an important part of being human—and having empathy is decisive to those relationships四、短文改错 (每小题1分) Dear Editor,I'm writing to tell you opinion about water saving.66.______Water is important．We, as well as animal, cannot live 67.______without water and neither agriculture or industry can go 68.______without it．Yet it seemed water is being less and less. 69.______ Many countries in the world find we don't have enough water. 70.______To deal with a problem, I think, we should first go all 71.______out to plant trees though trees will help save water．Next, no 72.______drinking water should be left running．Third, we should find 73.______ways to reuse the water using in washing, especially bath 74.______water for which is quite a lot, and that will save much water.75.______1-5DDBBA 6-10BDADB 11-15DCDBC16-20BADBC 21-25ACBDC 26-30DABCD 31-35CBACD36-40ADCBA 41-45BDCCC 46-50CDADD 51-55ACACB56-60ACDCB 61-65BDGFCLi HuaDear Editor,I'm writing to tell you∧opinion about water saving. 66． my Water is important．We, as well as animal, cannot live 67． animals without water and neither agriculture or industry can go 68． nor without it．Yet it seemed water is being less and less. 69． seems Many countries in the world find we don't have enough water. 70． they To deal with a problem, I think, we should first go all71． the/this/thatout to plant trees though trees will help save water．Next, no 72．because/since/asdrinking water should be left running．Third, we should find 73．√ways to reuse the water using in washing, especially bath 74． used water for which is quite a lot, and that will save much water. 75． for Sincerely,Li Hua1-5DDBBA 6-10BDADB 11-15DCDBC16-20BADBC 21-25ACBDC 26-30DABCD 31-35CBACD36-40ADCBA 41-45BDCCC 46-50CDADD 51-55ACACB56-60ACDCB 61-65BDGFCLi HuaDear Editor,I'm writing to tell you∧opinion about water saving. 66． my Water is important．We, as well as animal, cannot live 67． animals without water and neither agriculture or industry can go 68． nor without it．Yet it seemed water is being less and less. 69． seems Many countries in the world find we don't have enough water. 70． they To deal with a problem, I think, we should first go all71． the/this/thatout to plant trees though trees will help save water．Next, no 72．because/since/asdrinking water should be left running．Third, we should find 73．√ways to reuse the water using in washing, especially bath 74． used water for which is quite a lot, and that will save much water. 75． for Sincerely,Li Hua#37038 90AE 邮26406 6726 朦40779 9F4B 齋36229 8D85 超35783 8BC7 诇G31849 7C69 籩34528 86E0 蛠37122 9102 鄂U26044 65BC 於38824 97A8 鞨21579 544B 呋。
