The favorite place to buy a hamburger is a fast food restaurant. At fast food restaurants, people order their food, wait a few minutes, and carry it to their tables themselves.

There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we cannot detect them, sense them, without a radio receiver, Similarly, we cannot sense radioactivity without a radio detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other things.At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being outright by killing masses of cells in vital organs. But even the lowest levels can do serious damage. There is no level of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hurt anything important, the damage may not be significant. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and if they are killed outright, your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they re-produce themselves, you may be in trouble. They reproduce themselves in a deformed way. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the victim being aware at the time that damage has occurred. A person can be irradiated and feel fine, then die of cancer five, ten or twenty years later as a result. Or a child can be born weak or liable to serious illness as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.Radiation can hurt us. We must know the truth. 46. The author' s purpose in writing this passage is __________.A. to explain what nuclear power isB. to explain what nuclear radiation isC. to warn people of the danger of nuclearD. to list the bad points of nuclear power 47. All of the following are the shared qualities of nuclear radiation and common radio waves,except __________.A. they are all around usB. they cannot be touchedC. they cannot be seenD. they cannot be detected by human senses 48. The least serious damage nuclear radiation may do on a person is to __________.A. kill a few cells outright, which will be replaced with healthy onesB. damage a fen cells, which will reproduce themselvesC. kill masses of cells in vital organsD. deform some brain cells 49. Radiation can hurt us in the way that it can __________.A. kill large number of cells in main organs so as to cause death immediatelyB. damage cells which may grow into cancer years laterC. affect the healthy growth of the offspringD. all of the above50. We can infer from the passage that __________.A. the danger of nuclear radiation should not be emphasizedB. only nuclear radiation can cause cancerC. some people might have been hurt by nuclear radiation without their realizing itD. nuclear radiation can cause accidentsPassage 3Telephone, television, radio, and the Internet help people communicate with each other. Because of these devices (设备) , ideas and news of events spread quickly all over the world. For example, within seconds, people can know the results of an election in another country. An international football match comes into the homes of everyone with a television set. News of a disaster (灾难) , such as a flood, can bring help from distant countries. Within hours, help is on the way. This is because modern technology information travels fast.How has this speed of communication changed the world? To many people, the world has become smaller.Of course, this does not mean that the world is actually physically smaller. It means that the world seems smaller. Two hundred years ago, communication between the continents took a long time. All news was carried on ships that took weeks or even months to cross the oceans. In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, it took six weeks for news from Europe to reach America. This time difference influenced people's actions. For example, a few battles in the war of 1812 between England and the United States could have been avoided (避免). A peace agreement had already been signed. Peace was made in England, but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America. During these six weeks, the large and serious Battle of New Orleans (新奥尔良) was fought. Many people lost their lives after a peace treaty (条约) had been signed. They would not have died if news had come in time. In the past, communication took much more time than it does now. There was a good reason why the world seemed so much larger than it does today.51. Why does news spread fast?A. Because of a peace agreement.B. Because of the changes of the world.C. Because of new technology.D. Because of modem transportation.52. According to this passage, ________ is very important to people in a disaster area.A. the newsB. new ideasC. fast communicationD. modern technology53. Which of the following statements is true based on the text?A. The world now seems smaller because of the faster communication.B. The world is actually smaller today.C. The world is changing in size.D. The distance between England and America has changed since the War of 1812.54. Two hundred years ago, news between the continents was carried _________.A. by telephoneB. by landC. by airD. by sea55. The New Orleans Battle could have been avoided if the peace agreement had been signed _________.A. by both sidesB. in timeC. in AmericaD. in EnglandPassage 4Anna Douglas was seventy-two years old when she started writing her newspaper column. She had been the director of a school before she retired, but she needed to keep busy. She was even willing to work without pay. That was the reason she found a volunteer job with an agency. The agency that she chose to work for was a business that helped other businesses find jobs for old people. Every day she talked with other retired people like herself. By talking, she recognized two things. Old people had abilities that were not being used. Old people also had problems--mostly problems with communication.Mrs. Douglas found a new purpose for herself. Through the years, from time to time she had written stories about people for national magazines. Now there was a new subject; old people like herself. She began to write a newspaper column called "Over Sixty", which focuses on getting old. She writes about the problems of old people, especially their problems with being misunderstood.Anna Douglas uses her thinking ability to see the truth behind a problem. She understands the reasons why problems begin. She understands old people and young people, too. For example, one of her readers said that his grandchildren left the house as soon as he came to visit. Mrs. Douglas suggested some ways for him to increase understanding with his grandchildren. She told him to listen to young people's music and to watch the most popular television shows."It's important to know something about your grandchildren's world," says Mrs. Douglas. "But most of all, keep your mind open. Do not close out other people. Listen to the other people in your family. Keep on talking. And above all else, keep on listening and communicating. You stop living when you stop sharing ideas with other."56. Mrs. Douglas, aged 72, is _________.A. the director of an agencyB. the director of a schoolC. a business managerD. a columnist57. What Mrs. Douglas needs is _________.A. moneyB. to keep busyC. an easy lifeD. to talk with old people58.

Undoubtedly, they have proved valuable, but they also have disadvantages. For example, they have increased our already large number of crimes.Hacking was the first computer crime that most of us became aware of. By using their computing expertise, hackers can gain unauthorized access to someone else's computer and make use of the data they find there. They may, for example, find lists of their competitors' clients and use these lists to build up their own businesses or they may use hacking technology to fnd out a rival company's plans. Other hacking activities may be more obviously criminal, because hackers may log on to financial data in someone else's computer and alter it illegally or use it for fraudulent(欺诈的)purposes.The possibility of serious financial fraud has been greatly increased by the modern practice of purchasing goods through the Internet. Apparently, the use of credit cards to pay for purchase has led to many people being swindled(骗取) out of a great deal of money. Banks are working hard to improve online security and to provide safeguards for customers, but frauds are working just as hard to improve their techniques of deceiving people.Many computer users worry about thoir Systems bcing alfected by computor viruses. Pcople who introduce these bugs into other people'8 compuler programs may not intentionally commit a crime but may do so as an act of mischief. The motive does not really matter to people whose data has been deleted or altered or whose files have been corrupted. Computers are part of a highly technical method of working,in which there are constantly new developments. Unfortunately, there is also a constant stream of new developments in the fraud industry associated with them. All computer users must be on their guard.41. From the passage we can know that ________.A. computers are not a relatively new inventionB. computers have proved to be a curse rather than a blessingC. computers have proved to be of utue significanceD. computers have walked into our lives recently42. According to the passage, which of the following can make shopping online safe?A. Improving the banking security systemB. Always using credit cards.C. Withdrawing money from a bank only when you need it .D.Asking friends to shop online for you43.According to the passage, ________.A. computer users must be on guard against computer crimesB. hackers have authorized access to someone else's computerC people don't have to care much about computer virusesD. computer crimes can be prevented easily44. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as an example of hacking?A. Accessing someone else's financial dataB. Finding out a competitor's plansC. Sending computer viruses to the publicD. Finding the lists of a competitor's clients45. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A. Advantages of ComputersB Disadvantages of ComputersC. Computer HackinD. Computers Have Become a Must in PeoPassage 2The terms “global warming” and “climate change” are used by many, seemingly interchangeably. But do they really mean the same thing?Scientists shaped the history of the terms while attempting to accurately describe how humans continueto alter the planet. Later, political strategists adopted the terms to influence public opinion.In 1975, geochemist Wallace Broecker introduced the term “climate change” in an article published by Science. In 1979, a National Academy of Sciences report used the term “global warming” to define increases in the Earth’s average surface temperature, while “climate change” more broadly referred to the numerous effects of this increase, such as sea-level rise and ocean acidification (酸化).During the following decades, some industrialists and politicians launched a campaign to sow doubt in the minds of the American public about the ability offossil-fuel use, deforestation and other human activities to influence the planet’s climate.Word use played a critical role in developing that doubt. For example, the language and polls expert Frank Luntz wrote a memo encouraging the use of “climate change” because the phrase sounded less scary than “global warming”, reported the Guardian.However, Luntz’s recommendation wasn’t necessary. A Google Ngram Viewer chart shows that by 1993 climatechange was already more commonly used in books than global warming. By the end of the next decade both words were used more frequently, and climate change was used nearly twice as often as global warming. NASA used the term “climate change” because it more accurately reflects the wide range of changes to the planet caused by increasing amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.The debate isn’t new. A century ago, chemist Svante Arrhenius started one of the first debates over the potential for humans to influence the planet’s climate. Arrhenius calculated the capability of carbon dioxide to trap heat in the Earth’s atmosphere, but other chemists disagreed. Some argued that humans weren’t producing enough greenhouse gases, while others claimed the effects would be tiny. Now, of course, we know that whatever you call it, human behavior is warming the planet, with grave consequences ahead.51.Why did politicians use the two terms“ "global warming”“ and“ climate change？A) To sway public opinion of the impact of humanactivities on Earth.B) To more accurately describe the consequences ofC) To win more popular votes in their campaign activities.D) To assure the public of the safety of existing industries52. As used in a National Academy of Sciences report.,the term“ "climate change" differs from“ global warming”in that_______A) it sounds less vagueB)it looks more scientifC)it covers more phenomenaD)it is much closer to reality53. What did industrialists of the late20 Oth century resort to in order to mislead Americans?A)Made-up survey resultsB)Hired climate expertsC)False research findingsD)Deliberate choice of words54. Why did NASA choose the term "climate change"?A) To obtain more fundsB.For greater precisionC)For political needsD) To avoid debate55. What is the author's final conclusion?A)Global warming is the more accurate termB) Accuracy of terminology matters in scienceC)Human activities have serious effects on EarthD)Politics interferes with serious scientific debate翻译1.Wearing a seat belt saves lives; it reduces your chance of death or serious injury by more than half.2.

Some people go on diets. (41)This means they eatless of certain foods, especially fats and sugars. Other people exercise with special equipment, take diet pills, or even have surgery. Losing weight is hard work, and it can also cost a lot of money. So why do so many people in the United States want to lose weight?Many people in the United States worry about not looking young and attractive. For many people, looking good also means being thin. Other people worry about their health. Many doctors say being overweight is not healthy. But are Americans really fat?Almost 30 million Americans weight at least 20 percent more than their ideal weight. In fact, the United States is the most overweight country in the world. “the stored fat of adult Americans weighs 2.3 trillion pounds, “says University of Massachusetts anthropologist(人类学家) George Arnelegos. He says burning off that stored energy would produce enough power for 900,000 cars to go 12,000 miles.Losing weight is hard work. But most people want to find a fast and easy way to take off fat. Bookstores sell lots of diet books. (42)These books tell readers how to lose weight. Each year, dozens of new books like these are written. Each one promises to get rid of fat.21.

It enables people to express themselves, as well as to entertain, inform, and influence others. With only a few tools—paper, a typewriter, a pencil, and often a personal computer—a writer can have an impact on the surrounding world. But most authors spend hundreds of hours perfecting their skills before they can sell any of their works.A person who wants to be a writer should set aside some time to write every day. Learning to express ideas clearly and effectively in writing takes a great deal of practice. Many experienced writers keep a journal. A journal can serve as a storehouse for information, observations, and ideas. It canalso be a place to develop new material.Beginning writers should read many kinds of writing encountered every day and pay special attention to what they find most interesting. News items, feature stories, textbooks,cookbooks, repair manuals, poems, essays, short stories, novels, and plays differ in their methods of organizing and presenting material. A beginning writer who reads widely and carefullywill develop an appreciation of different writing approachesand styles. In time, the writer can acquire a more flexible approach to his or her own work.Successful authors write about subjects they know and understand. They sometimes take weeks or months revising or refining an article, poem, or story. Beginning writers usually benefit from finding one or more friendly critics who will read their work and discuss its strengths and weaknesses with them.High schools and colleges offer many learning opportunitiesfor young writers. Composition and literature courses can be helpful. Creative writing and journalism courses may further assist a beginning writer in developing his or her skills. Many students work on literary magazines, newspapers, or yearbooks published by their schools. They may write stories, edit articles, or gain other valuable experience.21. How important is writing according to this passage?A. People learn a lot from writing.B. We are entertained with different writings.?C. Writing can influence the surrounding world.D. Books can be an important part of an industry.22. What does a journal NOT help to provide A. Service. B. Ideas. C. Observations. D. Information.23. What should a beginning writer do to enjoy different writing styles?A. Reading different kinds of news items.B. Studying different writing methods.C. Learning the ways to present materials.D. Carefully reading as much as possible.24. Which of the following should a beginning writer avoid in order to improve his or her writing?A. Developing new subjects.B. Finding helpful critics.C. Attending writing courses.D. Doing editing work.25. In developing students’ writing ability, which of the following is not mentioned by the authorA. They can take composition and literature courses.B. They can take writing and journalism courses.C. They may work on literary magazines, newspapers, or yearbooks published by theirschools.D. They may write stories or edit articles for professional journals.Passage 2The first day of university our professor introduced a new student who appears to be very different from the rest of us. That is Rose, an eighty-seven-year-old lady who always wore a big smile on her face.“Why are you in college at this age” I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age. “I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she told me.Over the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she enjoyed being the center of attention from the other students. She was living it up!At the end of the semester, we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. She was introduced and stepped up to the stage.As she began to deliver her prepared speech, she dropped her speech cards on the floor. Frustrated and a little embarrassed she leaned into the speaker and simply said, “I’m sorry I’m a bit nervous. I gave up beer for Lent and this whiskey is killing me!”As we laughed Rose cleared her throat and began, “We do not stop laughing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only four secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have so many people walking around who are dead and don’t even know it!Have no regrets. The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we didn’t do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.Finally, there is a huge difference between growing old and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one productive thing, you will turn twenty. This is growing old, by doing nothing to your life. The idea of growing up is to always find opportunity to change.”At the year’s end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over two thousand college students attended her funeral. When you finish reading this, please send this peaceful advice to your friends and family:Remember, we cannot avoid growing old, but we can choose our own ways to grow up.26. Why was Rose in collegeA. Because she always wanted to have a college degree.B. Because she thought college was fun and she could make many friends.C. Because she has never gone to a college.D. Because she enjoyed being the center of attention from the other students.27. According to para. 3, how did Rose live her college lifeA. She always dressed up and never attend any class.B. She was quiet and didn’t want to make any friends.C. She was easygoing and made lots of friends.D. She wasn’t making the best out of her college life.28. How did she react when she dropped her speech note at the football banquetA. She got very nervous and stopped speaking.B. She was drunk with too much whiskey.C. She had to give up beer for this mistake.D. She continued her speech with a joke.29. What does Rose mean by “so many people walking around who are dead and don’t even know it”A. They are killed by them walking around.B. They are “dead” because they don’t have any dreams.C. They are “dead” because are they are not satisfied with their life.D. They are “dead” because they don’t know anything.30. According to Rose, which one of the following is correct about the difference between “growing old” and “growing up”A. Both mean the aging process where a child becomes a grown-up.B. Both mean lots of changes.C. “Growing old” is sad, but “growing up” is happy.D. “Growing old” is natural, but “growing up” is something we can control.Passage 3Lovebirds. That’s what all our friends called us when we first married.I guess Don and I deserved it. Money was tight. Sometimes we’d have to save up days just for an ice cream cone. Still, our tiny apartment seemed like paradise. Love does that, you know.The more we heard the term “lovebirds”, the more we thought about birds. One day we started saving up for a couple of lovebirds of our own. We knew we couldn’t afford to buy both birds and a nice cage, so in his spare moments, Don made the cage himself.We put our cage in front of a shaded window. Then we waited until our little saving was full of bills and spare change. With that money we “adopted” a pair of canaries from ourlocal pet store, a male and a female, and named them Sunshine and Snowball.Time passed, and when our young lovebirds finally seemed mature enough to start a family of their own, we went ahead and prepared a nest area and lots of nesting material for them. Snowball was a very exacting wife in designing and decorating their nest just so, while Sunshine, filled with love, bent over backward to put everything just where she ordered.Then one day an egg appeared. How they sang! And a few weeks later when a tiny chick hatched, their happiness seemed to know no bounds. I don’t know how it happened, but that baby bird was bright orange. So right off we named him Punkinhead.The sunny days passed. How proud all of us were when our baby bird ran out of the nest onto a real grown-up perch!Then one day, Punkinhead suddenly fell head down to the bottom of the cage. The tiny orange bird just lay there, both parents and I rushed to his rescue.But he was dead. Just like that. Whether he’d had a heart attack before he fell or broke his neck in the fall, I’ll never know. But Punkinhead was gone.The mother bird refused to let either Sunshine or me get near that little body. Instead of the joyful melodies I usually heard from Snowball, now she gave only the most heartbreaking cries and moans. Her heart, joy and will seemed completely melted by her sorrow.Poor Sunshine didn’t know what to do. He kept trying to push Snowball away from her sad situation, but she refused to move. Instead, over and over she kept trying to wake up her beloved child.Finally Sunshine seemed to work out a plan. He convinced her to fly up and eat some seeds every so often, while he stood duty in her place. Then each time she left, he’d quietly placeone piece of straw over Punkinhead’s body. Just one. But in a few days, piece by piece, it was completely covered over.At first Snowball seemed panic when she looked around, but she didn’t try to uncover the chick. Instead, she flew up to her normal place and stayed there. Then I was able to quietly reach in and remove the little body.After that, Sunshine spent all his time comforting Snowball. Eventually she started making normal sounds, and then one day, her sorrow finally melted and she sang again. I don’t know if Snowball ever realized the quiet labor of love and healing Sunshine had done for her. But they remained devoted for as long as they both lived. Love does that, you know.31.The title of the passage is “When Snowball Melted”. What does the title mean?A. The increasing temperature made the snowball melt.B. The bird called Snowball was too sad for her kid’s death so she became weaker and weaker.C. The grief born by the bird called Snowball for the death of her kid was dissolved by her husband’s love.D. The bird called Snowball was loved by her husband so it seemed like a snowball was melted.32. Why did “our tiny apartment seemed like paradise” even though we were poorA. Because we love our tiny apartment.B. Because the tiny apartment housed a couple in love.C. Because we kept two birds in love in the tiny apartment.D. Because our tiny apartment was clean and cozy.33. In paragraph 4, why does the author use “‘adopted’ a pair of canaries from our local pet store” instead of the word “buy”A. “Adopted” is used here to show that the birds are deserted by the store so the couple adopted them.B. “Adopted” is used here to show the couple’s love for the birds, while the word “buy” seemed to be cold and emotionless.C. “Adopted” is used here to show that nobody wanted thebirds so the couple were the only one who bought them.D. there is no special reason why “adopted” is used here.34. What is the cause of Punkinhead’s death?A. He’d had a heart attack before he fell.B. He broke his neck in the fall.C. He was attacked by a cat.D. the cause of Punkinhead’s death is unknown.35. Which of the following things were NOT what Sunshine did to comfort Snowball after the death of their kid A. He kept trying to push Snowball away from her sad situation.B. He flew up to her normal place and stayed there.C. He convinced her to fly up and eat some seeds every so often, while he stood duty in her place.D. each time she left, he’d quietly place one piece ofstraw over Punkinhead’s body.Passage 4They say there are three apples that changed the world.The first apple belongs to Adam, from the Garden of Eden. Yes, according to Christians, it was Adam’s apple that firstchanged humankind — the act of man disobeying to higher power that sets us apart by God. Adam’s story teaches us the importance of submission.We are becoming more self-sustained and forget the cores oflife — love, joy and peace. Families, friends and our beloved ones are often neglected when we become self-centered in ourjobs and responsibilities. We need to be reminded to love andbe loved, stand firm in love and cherish the goodness of other people in our lives.The second most influential apple didn’t come until the 15th Century. A man sat under the famous apple tree and theuniverse-consigned apple fell right on his head, leading him to the famous law of universal gravitation.Sir Isaac Newton’s apple changed the world of science as well as mathematics by stating that “every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force directed along the line of centers for the two objects...” and so on.The point here is, Newton’s apple has not only inspired him to come up with the law of gravitation, but also encouraged human to dream big and to explore the world with imaginations. Many other great people arose from Newton’s great works and findings.Last but bot least, it is of course Steve Jobs’ Apple that has put the world on a different pace, in terms of his innovations in consumer electronics, computer software and personal computers.Jobs’ success stories took up each corner of Google’s page after he passed away. The highlight is none other than his return to Apple after being kicked out of his own company in 1997. When he tried to lure John Sculley as Apple’s CEO, he asked,”Do you want to spend the rest of your life selling sugared water or do you want to change the world”That obviously worked out pretty well. Yet, it was thepassion towards innovation that Jobs has injected into hiscareer that put him onto the top of the world. His life has definitely inspired many to contribute to the society through creativity.So here are three apples that changed our lives — three menat three totally different time of the history. How’s yourapple coming along36. What are NOT the cores of life according to the textA. faithB. joyC. peaceD. love37. Who are the ones we often neglected when we become self-centered in our jobs andresponsibilities A. Families. B.Friends.C. Our beloved ones.D. A, B and C38. Which of the following statement are NOT one of the influences brought by Newton’s appleA. Newton’s apple inspired Newton to come up with the law of gravitation.B. Newton’s apple reminded human to love and be loved, stand firm in love and cherish the goodness of other people in our lives.C. Newton’s apple encouraged human to dream big.D. Newton’s apple encouraged human to explore the world with imagination.39 Steve Jobs’ innovations are in the following fields but?A. Consumer electronics.B. Computer software.C. Personal computer.D. Telecommunication.40. According to the author, what put Steve Jobs onto the top of the worldA. His great success in the Apple products.B. He returned to Apple after being kicked out of his own company in 1997.C. His passion towards innovation in his career.D. He changed the world.III. Translation (20 points)(翻译）Direction:Translate the following sentences into Chinese.41.You needn’t go there anymore. He already knows about it.你不必去了。

Reading ComprehensionAI was 14 when Mr. Ingram knocked on our farmhouse door in Sacred Heart， Okla. The old farmer lived about a mile down the road and needed help cutting grass. Itwas the first time I was actually paid for work- about 12 cents an hour， not bad when you consider it was 1939， a time when there was little business activity.Mr. Ingram liked the job I did and ended up hiring me to dig potatoes. I even helped when a baby cow was being born.One day he found an old truck that was stuck in the soft， sandy soil of the melon（瓜）field. It was full of melons that someone had tried to steal before their truck got stuck.Mr. Ingram explained that the truck's owner would be returning soon， and he wanted me to watch and lean. It wasn't long before a man from a nearby village，who had a terrible reputation（名声）for fighting and stealing， showed up with his two full-grown sons. They looked very angry.Calmly Mr. Ingram said，"Well，I see you want to buy some watermelons."There was a long silence before the man answered，"Yeah，I guess so. What are you getting for them""Twenty-five cents each.""Well. I guess that would be fair enough if you help me get my truck out of here."It turned out to be our biggest sale of the summer，and an unpleasant，perhaps unfortunate，incident had been prevented. After they left，Mr. Ingram smiled and said to me，"Son，if you don't forgive（原谅）your enemies， you're going to run out of friends." Mr. Ingram died a few years later，but I have never forgotten him or what he taught me on my first job.（）56. Which of the following best explains "ended up" as is used in the passageA. enjoyedB. finishedC. got intoD. went on（）57. The truck owners were angry because .A. they failed to get the melons away without being seenB. they forgot to have their truck checked before they startedC. they had got too many melons on the truckD. they knew they had a bad reputation（）58. Why didn't the truck owners fight to get away the melons.A. The old farmer was a strong enemy. price offered for the melons was very low.was hard to start a fight against friendly people.was necessary to get the truck out before anythingBYou get all sorts of demands， and the mark of a good hotel is to supply whatever is asked for without sounding surprised. If a guest asks for rubber glover （手套）， you don't ask why. You say， "No problem. What colour do you want"There have been some demands which， much as I would have liked to fill，I couldn't. A Japanese businessman， for example， thought the manager of a hotel was like the captain of a ship so he asked me to marry him and the woman he loved. There was one time， however， we did help out. A young man thought that if he asked his girlfriend to marry him at the Ritz she would say yes. He asked us to pt the ring in a cake， and she accepted.Top hotels are used more and more to impress. They are used for doing business. If you've got something to sell， take your clients（客户） to the best hotel where the surroundings are quite helpful. A friend of mine working at Savoy Hotel tells the story about a man who gave him 5 pounds to say " good morning， Mr. Smith" when he walked through the door with two other men. This he did ， and could hear Mr. Smith saying， "I do wish they would leave me alone at this place."According to Julian Payne， the most powerful people in any hotel are the porters， who carry bags for hotel guests. "Porters can do almost anything. They can get you tables at the best restaurants r tickets for a popular concert. Don't ask me how they do it or what their deal is because I don't know. Most of them have been there for years. They know more about the history of the hotel and the guests than anyone else. They are invaluable. A head porter will come in even on his day off so he can say hello to someone he remembers visiting the hotel years ago."（）59. When guests ask for something strange， the manager of a good hotel would think_________.A. how he can meet their needsB. why they have such demandsproblems the hotel has D. who is the best person to go to（）60. Which of the following examples explains "we did help out"A. The hotel bought a ring for a young lady. Japanese married the woman he loved.manager once acted as a captain. young lady agreed to marry her boyfriend.（）61. By saying "I do wish they would leave me alone at this place，" Mr. Smith .A. showed that he disliked such people at the hotelB. gave the impression that he was a constant guestC. tried to make his clients feel sorry for himD. sounded as if he was tired of such greetings（）62. Why are the porters considered the most powerful people in expensive hotelsA. they sell tickets for converts.B. they can complete difficult tasks.know the history of hotels. usually work in a hotel for a long time.CTake a deep breath and spend a week with the Lee family in Minneapolis. The three older children-Anna， 12， Nathan， 9 ， and Kristian， 7-play one sport or another almost all year round.（Lisa is only 1 so she gets a break here.） Anna's practicing football， volleyball， basketball and softball. Nathan and Kristian do them all except volleyball. In the summer， add on tennis and swim lessons.All of this means that dad， Darwin， a teacher， and mom， Joann， a nurse，spend a lot of time making sure everyone gets where he needs to be. Family dimmers Forget about it. A busy family timetable， says Barbara Carlson. A school teacher，has become the new thing that shows your status（地位）。

Reading Comprehension (60 points)Directions:There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by four questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage OneTelevision in the United States is free. To pay for programs, there are many advertisements. Often these advertisements are short plays with actors. The following television advertisement is like many others that Americans see daily.We see a man and his wife at the breakfast table. They have been married for a long time. They are not speaking to each other. They haven’t spoken to each other at the breakfast table for years.The husband is reading his newspaper.We can’t see his face.The wife looks very bored as she pours a cup of coffee for him. Today, she is using a new kind of coffee for the first time. The husband picks up his cup. He isn’t very interested. He tastes his coffee. Suddenly he puts down his newspaper. Something i s different! Can it be the coffee? He takes another taste. It’s wonderful! He smiles. He looks at his wife and says in amazement,"Doris, when did you cut your hair?"Doris is pleased. She answers, "Two months ago."Doris asks, "Herbie, when did your hair begin to turn gray?"He replies, "A long time ago."Doris says, "Oh, very handsome."Now they aren’t bored any more.

The first building was a castle.In 1190, it was the king’s castle with high walls and a round tower.It had a river to keep out the enemies.Over the years, the number of the buildings around the castle grew.By 1350, the castle no longer needed to be extended.The Louvre became a palace home for French kings and queens.During times of peace, new treasures were brought in.During the days of war, many treasures were stolen, and the buildings, were damaged.When FrancisI became king of France in 1515, he brought in many artists from other countries.One of the artists was Leonardo da Vinci from Italy.Da Vinci’s "Mona L isa" is the best-known painting in the museum today.In 1793, the Louvre became a public museum, just as it is now.It is a place where art treasures are kept for everyone to enjoy, Every year millions of people from all over the world come to the Louvre to see the masterpieces.（）40.How long has the Louvre been a public museum?A.For over 800 years.B.Since 1350C.Since 1515D.For over 200 years.（）41.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A.Da Vinci once stayed in France.B."Mona Lisa" is kept in the Louvre.C.The Louvre was once a church as well as a palace.D.The Louvre is a place of interest to different people from all over the world.（）42.We know from the passage that _____.A.French kings and queens ordered people to build another buildings as their palace home in 1350B.many treasures were brought into the Louvre in 1190C.FrancisI came into power in 1515 and damaged some buildingsD.Some works of art in the museum have been collected from many countries（）43.The passage is mainly about _____.A.an art museum called the LouvreB.an Italian artist named Leonardo da VinciC.a king of France named Francis ID.the best-known painting in the Louvre Passage ThreeOn the first day of class, Mr. Whiteson gave us a lecture about a creature(生物) called cattytiger, a kind of cat-like animal that completely disappeared during the Ice Age.He passed round a skull (头骨) as he talked, and we all felt interested and took notes while ter, we had a test about that.When he returned my paper, I was very, very surprised.There was a very large cross through each of my answers.And so it was with everyone else’s in our class.What had happened? Everyone was wondering and couldn’t wait to get the answer.Very simple, Mr. Whiteson explained.He had made up all that story about the cattytiger.There had never been such an animal.So why none of us noticed that and how could we expect good marks for the incorrect answers?Needless to say, we got very angry.What kind of teacher was this?We should have guessed it out, Mr. Whiteson said.After all, at the very moment he was passingaround the cattytiger skull (in fact, a cat’s), hadn’t he been telling us that it completely disappear ed during the Ice Age? Clearly he was telling a lie.But we just kept busy making notes and none used his head.We should learn something from this.Teachers and textbooks are not always correct.（）44.We failed in the test because we didn’t _____.A.take notes while listeningB.show interest in what Mr. Whiteson saidC.listen to the teacher carefullyD.think carefully（）45.We got angry because _____.A.Mr. Whiteson didn’t tell us the truth about cattytigerB.we failed in the testC.we didn’t know why he played the joke on usD.there was no cattytiger（）46.Mr. Whiteson gave us a special lesson_____ .A.to show his special way of teachingB.to play a joke on usC.to help us learn our lessons betterD.so that we would no longer believe him（）47.Mr. Whiteson meant that _____.A.teachers couldn’t make any mistakesB.textbooks might be wrong sometimesC.we should speak up if we thought our teacher or the textbook was wrongD.we shouldn’t believe our teachers because sometimes they might tell liesPassage FourShopping is not as simple as you may think！There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand （品牌）of product on the shelf.Colouring,for example.,varies according to what the producers are trying to sell. Health foods are packaged （包装）in greens,yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colours. Ice cream packets are often blue and expensive goods,like chocolates,are gold or silver.When some kind of pain killer was brought out recently,researchers found that the colours turned the customers off because they made the product look weak and ineffective. Eventually.,it came on the market in a dark blue and white package—blue because we think of it as safe,and white as calm.The size of a product can attract a shopper. But quite often a bottle doesn’t contain as much as it appears to.It is believed that the better-known companies spend,on average,70 percent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging！The most successful producers know that it’s not enough to have a good product. The founder of Pears soap,who for 25 years has used pretty little girls to promote （推销）their goods,came to the conclusion：“Any fool can make soap,but it takes a genius （天才）t o sell it.”（）48. Which of the following may trick a shopper into buying a product according to the text？A. The cost of its package.B. The price of the product.C. The colour of its package.D. The brand name of the product.（）49. The underlined part“the colours turned the customers off”（in Para. 3 ）means that the colours _____.A. attracted the customers stronglyB. had weak effects on the customersC.tricked the customers into shoppingD. caused the customers to lose interest（）50. Which of the following is the key to the success in product sales？A. The way to promote goods.B.The discovery of a genius.C. The team to produce a good product.D. The brand name used by successful producers. （）51. Which of the following would be the best title for this text？A. Choice of Good ProductsB.Disadvantages of ProductsC. Effect of Packaging on ShoppingD. Brand Names and Shopping TricksPassage FiveHave you ever argued with your loved ones over simple misunderstandings(误解)？Little wonder. We often believe we’re more skillful in getting our point across than we actually are，according to Boza Keysar，a professor at the University of Chicago. In his recent study，speakers tried to express their meanings using unclear sentences. Speakers who thought listeners understood were wrong nearly half the time. Here’s some good advice to reduce misunderstanding：(1)Don’t trust what you see from the listener. Listeners often nod，look at you or say"uhhuh"to be polite or move the conversation along. But it’s easy to consider these as signs of understanding.(2)Train the editor(编辑)in your head. If you say，"Beth discusses her problems with her husband，"it’s not clear whether she’s talking to her husband or about him. Try instead，"Beth talks to her husband about her problems."or"Beth talks to others about the problems with her husband."(3)Ask listeners to repeat your message. Introduce your request by saying"I want to be sure I said that right."Questions like"How does that sound？"or"Does that make sense？"may also work. (4)Listen well. When on the receiving end，ask questions to be sure you’re on the same page. After all，it isn’t just the speaker’s job to make his speech understood.（）52. Why does the writer give us the advice？A.We’re not skillful enough to make clear sentences.B.Misunderstanding is damaging our normal lives.C. Misunderstanding occurs now and then.D.It’s impolite to say NO to others.（）53. The writer suggests that when talking to others，the speaker should _____.A. know that listeners will show him that they understand his wordsB.express himself clearly even when he sees signs of understandingC. notice listener’s signs of understandingD.look directly into his listener’s eyes（）54. By Train the editor in your head，the speakers are advised _____.A. to get themselves trained by a good editorB. to discuss problems with their husbands or wivesC. to express themselves in long but simple sentencesD.to make sure each sentence has only one meaning（）55. In the last paragraph，the underlined words you’re on the same page mean that _____.A. you’re following the speakers closelyB. you’re reading the same page as the speaker doesC.you should know which page the speaker refers toD. your story is written on the same page as the speaker’sV.Daily Conversation (15 points)Direction:Pick out five appropriate expression from the eight choices below and complete the following dialogue by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.A.See you this eveningB.I’ve gotta runC.See you againD.won’t be back for supperE.I’ll go to the officeF.Take careG.Don’t worryH.I’ll just take the subway Gary:Dear,I have to go to the office early today.Can you take Sally to school?Ada:Sure.Want me to give you a ride?Gary:No,forget it. 56 .It’s very quick.I’ll pick Sally up this afternoon.You can just comehome after work.Ada:OK.Oh,I almost forgot.I probably 57 .I’ve made an evening appoin tment with Mr.Stevento talk about our next project.Gary:Oh,I see. 58 .Hurry Sally up a little.She hasn’t even had her breakfast yet.Ada:OK. 59 .Love you,honey.Gary:I love you,too. 60 .Directons:For this part, you are supposed to write a composition of about100~200 words according to the following topic.Where to Live—in the City or in the Country？Base your composition on the outline given below.61、（1）. 一些人喜欢住在城市，因为城市生活有许多便利。
