We have a lot of people e mailing or phoning every day to say how difficult it is to use equipment at work,"said Keith Milsom, a British spokesman for the Left handed Club, which says that it is to be the largest association of " lefties in the world with some 300,000 members."It leads them to think that a particular task is not their strength, but the truth is these instruments are made for the right handed," Milsom told AEP. "" The view that left handers are clumsy and awkward(笨拙的) is not down to their natural abilities, but being forced to use righthanded tools and machines which are completely back to front for them,"the Left handers Club Website says.For Milsom this is a serious problem that goes far beyond using a pair of scissors(剪刀) or a corkscrew.His group claims(声称) a series of notable victories in its fight to correct the imbalances and secure a safer and less right centric world.Such victories include forcing changes from a major producer of hand held power tools and ensuring that all major British banks introduced left handed checkbooks.The latter may have proved especially beneficial for Milsom and his wife Lauren who owns a shop in London's Soho district for providing products and information to make life a bit easier for left handers.No one can explain exactly why about 13 percent of the world's population is left handed, according to the Left handers Club Website, which suggests this may be genetic and runs in families."There is a high chance in twins for one to be left handed,' it adds".Left handers were for centuries stigmatized in language, cult and even in the Bible.The Greek, Italian, Spanish, French, Dutch, German, Portuguese and Latin words for left handed all have negative(否定的) meanings, not to mention English."Things are different today but the world is still designed for right handers," Milsom said.Famous left handers include film star Marilyn Monroe, Italian painter Leonardo da Vinci and British musician Paul McCartney.56. What seems to be the most serious problem for left handers is that .A. they are looked down upon by right handersB. they have all the time been separated from the right handed worldC. they have to use things designed for right handersD. they are thought to be clumsy and awkward57. The underlined word " them"(in Paragraph 3) refers to .A. people who e mail or telephone Keith MilsomB. all left handed peopleC. the 300,000 members of the Left handed ClubD. people in the organization of "southpaw"58. Lauren ran a shop in London's Soho district .A. to show left handers' strengthB. to call the attention to the left handers from the publicC. to help those left handers in troubleD. to support her husband's fight against the right centric world59. It can be inferred from this passage that.A. scientists have found the cause for left handednessB. left handedness most probably occurs in twinsC. there are no negative meanings for left handed people in EnglishD. left handed people are most probably wiser60. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Left handed People, Too Many SufferingsB. Left handers, the Past and the PresentC. Left handed people, Equal to youD. Being Left handed, Being FamousBBRITAIN’S parents have admitted school is harder today than it was when they were kids．A poll（民意测验）of 1，500 parents shows that those with children who have recently sat（参加）A-level or GCSE exams believe today’s exams are harder than the ones they sat at school．One in four thought A-levels were getting harder-compared to just twelve percent who thought they were easier．The figures for GCSEs were more evenly split with 26 percent thinking they were harder and 21 percent believing they were easier．This is the first survey（调查）of the opinion of parents whose youngsters have just sat exams．They told pollsters they believed the higher pass rates in examinations today were due to the youngsters concerned working harder．"But another reason given was that they believed today’s youngsters felt there was little chance of success in life without qualification（资格）．Parents are seeing standards rise and their children working harder and being smarter than their generation，"says Dr Christina Townsend，president of the Edexcel exam board，which commissioned（委托）the survey．The poll，carried out by Opinion Research Business for the exam board，also showed parents supported government plans to allow students to see their marked papers after they had completed their exams．The move（行动）is designed to help them decide whether they should doubt their standard．61．What do you know about Britain’s school education from the text？A．Students are burdened with too much homework after school．B．Students are tired of leaning at school．C．Most students can’t pass the A-level or GCSE exams．D．Exams are more difficult today and pupils are working harder．62．The writer’s purpose in writing this text is．A．to show the result of a poll of 1，5000 parentsB．to tell parents that their youngsters are working hardC．to prove that youngsters are smarter than their parentsD．to request that exams be easier63．We can infer from the text that．A．the government will take steps to lower the standards of exams．B．Students were once not allowed to see their marked papers．C．Parents didn’t work hard when they were at schoolD．More parents think A-levels are getting harder and GCSEs are getting easierCLike find food, good writing is something we approach with pleasure and enjoy from the first taste to the last. And good writers, like good cooks, do not suddenly appear full-blown. Quite the contrary, just as the cook has to undergo an intensive training, mastering the skills of his trade, the writer must sit at desk and devote long hours to achieving a style in his writing, whatever its purpose is - schoolwork, matters of business, or purely social communication. You may be sure that the more painstaking the effort, the more effective the writing, and the more rewarding.There are still some remote places in the world where you might find a public scribe to do your business or social writing for you, for a fee. There are a few managers who are lucky enough to have the service of that rare kind of secretary who can take care of all sorts of letter writing with no more than a quick note to work from. But for most of us, if there is any writing to be done, we have to do it ourselves.We have to write school papers, business papers or home papers. We are constantly called on to put words to paper. It would be difficult to count the number of such words, messages, letters and reports put into the mails or delivered by hand, but the daily figure must be very great. What is more, everyone who writes expects, or at least hopes. We want whatever we write to be read, from first word to last, not just thrown into "letters-to-be-bread" file or into a wastepaper basket. This is the reason we bend our efforts toward learning and practicing the skills of interesting, effective writing.64. In this passage, good writing is compared to find food because.A. both writers and cooks have to work long hours every dayB. both are necessary to lifeC. both writers and cooks can earn a good livingD. both are enjoyable65.The underlined word "scribe" means.A. a secretary who does your business or social writingB. a machine that does writing for youC. a school where writing is taughtD. a person who earns a living by writing for others66. According to the passage, some managers don't have to do any letter writing because.A. they depend on quick notesB. they have excellent secretariesC. they have a computer to do itD. they prefer making phone calls67. According to the author, if your letter is thrown into some "letter-to-be-read" file,.A. it will receive immediate attentionB. it will be dealt with by the secretaryC. it is likely to be passed overD. it is meant to be delivered soonD ARestaurantSupervisorWaiting StaffTelephonistThe ideal candidates must have relevant experiences gained in a high quality hotel.Please call Personnel on 071 722 7722, or send your CV to:Regents Park Hilton,Lodge Road,LondonNW87 JTLondonREGENTS PARKHilton BUSE YOUR LANGUAGE AND EARN￡450-￡1200 P.WWe are one of the largest business publishers in Europe and have limited positions for intelligent young people in our Londonadvertisement sales office.Enquiries from German,Spanish and Eastern European speakers especially welcome.Phone on 071 753 4300CBABY SITTER WANTEDFor a 9 month old.Artistic/Prof householdNotting Hill,3 days per week.Some hoursflexibility required.KnowledgeGerman/Frenchadvantage not essential071 221 7375 DPlanet HollywoodLondonJoin the Stars!Food ServersThe biggest and busiest restaurant in London is seeking additional stars for its team of dedicated professionals.If you have experience in high volume restaurants and are looking for a challenge,then come on down for an audition.Interview day is on Friday 6th,May from 12 noon to 7 pmPlanet Hollywood is located at 13 Coventry Street,London,Wl68.

It was still too early for dinner, I thought, so I walked along Beach Driver for about an hour until I began to feel hungry. By that time I was not far from a favorite restaurant of mine where I often went to have seafood. I knew the owner very well and had been going there for years. I went into the restaurant, which was already crowded, and ordered my favorite seafood plate. While I was waiting for the food to arrive, I looked around the restaurant to see if there was anyone I knew. It was then that I noticed that a man sitting at a corner table near the door kept looking in my direction, as if he knew me. I certainly did not know him, however. The man had a newspaper open in front of him, which he was pretending to read, but I could see that he was keeping an eye on me. When the waiter brought my food, the man was clearly puzzled by the familiar way in which the waiter and I talked with each other. He seemed even more puzzled as time went on and it became obvious that all of the waiters in the restaurant knew me. Finally he got up and went into the kitchen. After a few minutes he came out again, paid his bill and left without looking in my direction.When I had finished and was about to pay my bill, I called the owner of the restaurant and asked what the man had wanted. The owner seemed a little embarrassed by my question and at first did not want to tell me. I insisted. "Well," he said, "that man was detective." "Really?" I said, showing my surprise. "He was certainly very interested in me. But why? " "He followed you here because he thought you were the man he was looking for," the owner of the restaurant said. "When he came into the kitchen he showed me a photo of the wanted man, I must say he looked very much like you! Of course, since we know you here, I was able to convince him that he had made a mistake." "It's lucky I came to a restaurant where I'm known," I said. "Otherwise, I might have been arrested."71．Why did the writer go to his favorite restaurant that day?A． Because he always had dinner in the restaurant.B． Because he was going to meet his friend in the restaurant.C． Because he knew the owner well.D． Because he happened to be around it when he felt hungry.72．When the writer was waiting for the food he ordered,.A． he found someone he knewB．he noticed that a detective was sitting at a corner tableC． he saw a man reading a newspaperD． he noticed that a stranger kept looking in his direction73．Which of the following is NOT true according to the story?A． The restaurant had been open for many years.B． All of the waiters in the restaurant were friendly to the writer.C． The detective was surprised by the familiar way the waiter talked to him.D． The writer might have been in trouble if he went to another restaurant for dinner.74．The writer knew he had been followed by a detective.A． when he was walking along Beach DriveB． when he looked around the restaurantC． when the detective got up and went into the kitchenD． after the owner of the restaurant told him75．The writer told us the story to.A． make us laughB． prove that police make mistakes sometimesC． advise people to always go to the same restaurantD． to thank the owner of the restaurant第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节:情景作文（满分25分）最近，你校同学正在参加一场讨论。
