Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who was on his trapped way to work shortly after receiving an ultimatum(最后通牒) about the job. Although there was a good reason for Sam’s being late—serious illness at home—he realized that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn’t work any longer. His supervisor was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal speech.Yes, the boss was. Sam entered the office at 9:35. The place was as quiet as a locker room; everyone was hard at work. Sam’s supervisor came up to him. Suddenly, Sam forced a grin and stretched out his hand. “How do you do!” he said, “I’m Sam Maynard. I’m applying for a job, which, I understand, became available just 35 minutes ago. Does the early bird get the worm?”The room exploded in laughter, except that the supervisor had to clamp off a smile and walked back to his office. Sam Maynard had saved his job— with the only tool that could win, a laugh.Humor is a most effective, yet frequently ignored, means of handling the difficult situations in our lives. It can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying “no”, criticizing, getting the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face. For some jobs, it’s the only tool that can succeed. It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialogue may start a quarrel. For example, many believe that comedians on television are doing more today for racial and religions tolerance than people in any other form.4. Why was Sam late for his job?A. Because he was seriously ill at home.B. Because he received an ultimatum.C. Because he was busy applying for a new job.D. Because he was caught in a traffic jam.5. The phrase “clamp off” in Paragraph3 means________.A. try to hold backB. pretend to setC. send offD. give out6. Which of the following statements can we infer from the passage?A. Many lose life’s battles for they are always late.B. Sam was supposed to come to his office at 8:30.C. It wasn’t the first time that Sam came late for his work.D. Humor is the most effective way of solving problems.7. What’s the main idea of this passage?A. Sam Maynard saved his job with humor.B. Humor is important in our lives.C. Early bird can get the worm.D. Humor can solve racial discriminations.CLONDON (Reuters) –Organic fruit, delivered right to the doorstep. That is what Gabriel Gold prefers, and he is willing to pay for it. If this is not possible, the 26-year-old computer technician will spend the extra money at the supermarket buying organic food.“Organic product is always better,”Gold said. “The food is free of pesticides(杀虫剂), and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms. And more often than not it is locally grown and seasonal, so it is tasty.”Gold is one of the growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend, and supermarkets across Britain are depending on more like him as they grow their organic food business. But how many shoppers really know what they are getting, and why are they willing to pay a higher price for organic product? Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences— but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete. For example, small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic product. And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported to meet growing demand.” The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fast-growing market,” said Sue Flock, a specialist in this line of business.8. More and more people in Britain are buying organic food because__________.A. they are getting richer.B. they can get the food anywhere.C. they consider the food free of pollution.D. they like home-grown fruit.9.

It is produced on large farms.10. What is the meaning of the underlined words “the organic trend” in the second paragraph?A. Growing interest in organic food.B. Better quality of organic foodC. Rising market for organic food.D. Higher prices of organic food.11. What is the best title for this news story?A. Good qualities of organic food.B. The making of organic food in Britain.C. Organic food— to import or not?D. Organic food—healthy, or just for the wealthy?DThe American newspaper has been around for about three hundred years. In 1721, the printer James Franklin, Benjamin’s older brother, started the New England Courant, and that was what we might recognize today as a real newspaper. He filled his paper with stories of adventure, articles on art, on famous people, and on all sorts of political subjects.Three centuries after the appearance of Franklin’s Courant, few believe that newspapers in their present printed form will remain alive for long. Newspaper companies are losing advertisers, readers, market value, and in some cases, their sense of purpose at a speed that would not have been imaginable just several years ago. The chief editor of the Times said recently, “At places where they gather, editors ask one another, ‘How are you?’, as if they have just come out of the hospital or a lost law case.” An article about the newspaper appeared on the website of the Guardian, under the headline “NOT DEAD YET”.Perhaps not, but the rise of the Internet, which has made the daily newspaper look slow and out of step with the world, has brought about a real sense of death. Some American newspapers have lost 42% of their market value in the past three years. The New York Times Company has seen its stock (股票) drop by 54% since the end of 2004, with much of the loss coming in the past year. A manager at Deutsche Bank suggested that stock-holders sell off their Times stock. The Washington Post Companyhas prevented the trouble only by changing part of its business to education; its testing and test-preparation service now brings in at least half the company’s income.12. What can we learn about the New England Courant?A. It is mainly about the stock market.B. It carries articles by political leaders.C. It marks the beginning of newspapers.D. It remains a successful newspaper in America.13. What can we infer about the newspaper editors?A. They often accept readers’ suggestions.B. They care a lot about each other’s health.C. They stop doing business with advertisers.D. They face great difficulties in their business.14. Which of the following found a new way for its development?A. The Washington Post.B. The Guardian.C. The New York Times.D. New England Courant.15. How does the author seem to feel about the future of newspaper?A. Satisfied.B. Hopeful.C. Surprised.D. Worried.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
