His grades were good andhe needed only eight years to finish his schooling instead of theusual twelve. After graduating from school, he worked his way though college. He swept floors, waited on table, or worked in oneof the college offices. During all this busy life, he had been movingaround on his stumps. But one day the doctor told him even thestumps were not going to last much longer. He would soon haveto use a wheelchair.Hank felt himself get cold all over. However, the doctor saidthere was a chance that he could be fitted with artificial legs (假肢). Finally a leg maker was found and the day came when Hank stood up before the mirror. For the first time he saw himself as hehas always wanted to be - a full five feet eight inches tall. By thistime he was already 26 years old.Hank had to learn to use his new legs. Again and again he marched the length of the room, and marched back again. Therewere times when he fell down on the floor, but he pulled himselfup and went back to the endless marching. He went out on thestreet. He climbed stairs and learned to dance. He built a boatand learned to sail it.When World War II came, he talked the Red Crossing into giving him a job.

collapse.Especially in some developing countries,the metropolis are overcrowded all the time.Thronged streets, stuffed buses and jammed subways continuously batter people's lives.Some optimists, however,see the current problems as merely part of an evolutionary process.They arguethat London and New York had similar problems but were able eventually to establish an orderly and safe environment for their citizens.It seems that people become the controversial factor here.Either they themselves as inhabitants cause inconvenience toeach other,or they participate together in city developing

they have;the real culture is the culture they actually have.In all societies there is a differencebetween the two.If an American citizen were asked to tell a visitor from a foreign land something

There are 5 tasks for youto fulfill. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the task asyou are instructed.Task 1Hank Viscardi was born without legs. He had not legs but stumps (残肢)that could be fitted with a kind of special boots. People stared at him withcruel interest. Children laughed at him and called him “Ape Man”(猿人)because his arms practically dragged on the ground.Hank went to school like other boys. His grades were good and he neededonly eight years to finish his schooling instead of the usual twelve. After graduating from school, he worked his way though college. He swept floors, waited on table, or worked in one of the college offices. During all this busy life, he had been moving around on his stumps. But one day the doctor told him even the stumps were not going to last much longer. He would soon have to use a wheelchair.Hank felt himself get cold all over. However, the doctor said there was a chance that he could be fitted with artificial legs (假肢). Finally a leg maker was found and the day came when Hank stood up before the mirror. For the first time he saw himself as he has always wanted to be - a full five feet eight inches tall. By this time he was already 26 years old.Hank had to learn to use his new legs. Again and again he marched the length of the room, and marched back again. There were times when he fell down on the floor, but he pulled himself up and went back to the endless marching. He went out on the street. He climbed stairs and learned to dance. He built a boat and learned to sail it.When World War II came, he talked the Red Crossing into giving him a job. He took the regular training. He marched and drilled along with the other soldiers. Few knew that he was legless. This was the true story of Hank Viscardi, a man without legs.36.

And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what “keeping up with the Joneses” is about. It is the story ofsomeone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horse-riding everyday. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City.Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “Keeping up with the Joneses” because “Jones”is a very common name in the Untie States. “Keep up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with the rich lifestyle of the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.People never seem to get tried of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.41.

After reading it, you are required to complete the outline below it. You should write your answers (in no more than 3 words) briefly.Freezing can keep food fresh and safe to eat. Freezing lowers the food temperature below zero degree Celsius(摄氏). The simplest way to prepare fruits is to cut them up and place them in a container inside the freezer, in some cases it is better to permit the fruit to freeze before putting it in the container. This will keep it from sticking to the container. This is called the “dry pack”method. The second way is the “wet pack” method. The fruit is prepared along with some of its liquid or juice. You can add some sugar to fruits that are naturally juicy. The sugar sweetens the fruit and brings out its natural juice. Once foods have been unfrozen, they should not be frozen again. There is a danger of food poisoning if food is frozen more than once.Task 4Directions: The following is a list of airport terms.

Each passage is followed by some questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A., B., C., and D.. You should decide onthe best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Questions31to35are based on the following passage: Philanthropy is a way that people and organizations show concern for others or work to improve the world. Approximately 72 percent of Americans donate to charity (慈善机构), and 51 percent do volunteer work. About 2 millions not-for-profit organizations and charities in the United States today receive this help.There are three types of philanthropists: individuals, foundations, and private corporations. Individuals give money or volunteer their time to support causes that are important to them. Foundations are organizations started by very wealthy individuals. Their “business”is not to make a profit but to give money away to not-for-profits.Private corporations may also use a portion of their business profits to make donations, or they may give away their products or services free of charge. However, foundations and corporations are responsible for only 20 percent of charitable donations; 80 percent comes from individuals.What makes people and institutions give away their time and money? One reason is altruism, the unselfish desire to help other people and make the world a better place. Other reasons involve personal interest. Under US tax law, an individual or business does not have to pay income tax on money that is donated to charity. For extremely wealthy individuals and corporations, this can mean millions of dollars they do not have to pay in taxes to the government. In addition to tax benefits, donors often receive favorable publicity for making donations, and they have an opportunity to influence the world around them.31. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A.Philanthropy has become an accepted American custom.B.Philanthropy has made the US a great influence in the world.C.More and more organizations rely on philanthropy nowadays.D.Religion plays an important role in the philanthropy in the US.32. Which of the following is NOT characteristic of philanthropists?A. To donate money.B. To do volunteer work.C. To pay income tax.D. To provide free services.33. What is the main source of donations in the United States?A. Foundations.B. Individuals.C. The government.D. Private corporations.34. How are foundations different from private corporations in the aspect of philanthropy?A. They don’t make a profit.B. They receive more publicity.C.They are set up by very rich individuals.D.They don’t donate money to individuals.35. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.Individuals tend to donate money to become famous.B.Foundations gain more power because of philanthropy.C.Some people donate money for practical purposes.D.The US tax law discourages people from donating money.Questions36to40are based on the following passage:A lot of people think that if they put off the decision of whether they want to stay in or leave their relationships, the problems they are having will magically somehow heal themselves or disappear.They won’t.If you do n’t invest some quality time now in taking a true, honest and truthful look at the state of your relationship, you could stay stuck in this place of indecision for a very long time. Many people waste so much precious time when they could be experiencing an incredible relationship filled with love, passion and joy, either in their current relationship or one that is more of what they want. We encourage you to take an honest look at your situation and feel how much pain you’ve been feeling about this relationship. If having a great relationship is important to you, you need to decide that you’re not willing to live without the love, passion, intimacy, and tenderness. You have to take the first step to create the kind of relationship and love you want in your life.We’re not suggesting that you should leave your current relationship or marriage and head out looking for the new love of your life. That’s your decision and one that should only be made after some careful insight and thinking. What we are telling you is that life is too short to go through it without having the love you want and the love that’s possible for all of us. If you are in a relationship that is causing you to wonder whether you should stay in it or leave—it’s important that you take some time now to make itclear so that you’ll be able to ask yourself openly and honestly whether you’ll be able to heal the challenges.36. To make a decision about whether they want to stay in or leave their relationships quicker,people should ________.A.leave the problems until they heal themselves or disappearB.head out looking for the new love of his /her lifeC.seek expert’s advice and not make a quick decisionD.have a clear understanding of the state of their relationships37. What does the word “incredible” (Para.2) probably mean in the passage?A. Marvelous.B.Impossible.C. Unusual.D. Unnecessary.38.

Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements with no more than 10 words. Be sure to write your answers on Answer Sheet (2).German careers or jobs fall into several categories. First, there are positions that require strong ability in German with a company in Germany,Austria or Switzerland. This category may also include a job requiring good German and/or bilingual (双语的) skills within a company doing business in the US, Canada, Mexico or elsewhere. Secondly, there are jobs that can be done in English in German Europe. Then there are German companies abroad.Most minor and many major positions are filled by recruiting German, Austrian or Swiss nationals. If you are already in German Europe, you may have a better chance of finding a job. In any case, it is best if your company can handle all the formalities involved when a foreign national takes a job in Germany. There are also relocation services that can help with this if you don’t have any ideas yourself.The German unemployment rate has remained at a fairly high level over the last decade. It is almost impossible for a non-German to get a job in Germany unless she/he can prove that it can’t be done by a German national. In certain fields, such as computer science or information systems, “green card”foreign workers have been imported,but this practice is still uncommon.The reality of searching for and finding a suitable position in German Europe or with a German firm means two main things: knowledge and planning. T oo many times, job seekers have unrealistic expectations. Often they overestimate their language skills and underestimate the level of competition.Another danger is ignoring culture shock.That’s why we also offer links to culture-related sites.For getting most German jobs, it is your ability in a field—computers, teaching, advertising, etc.—rather than your German skills that will be the biggest factor in a successful search. But all other things being equal between you and another candidate, it is the person with the best language skills who usually gets the job.41.What is the requirement of the job within a company doing business in the US,Canada, Mexico or elsewhere included in the first category?42.What might the company do for the benefit of a foreign employee?43.What seems to be “hot” fields if you are to find a job in German?44.What is the reason for the author to offer links to culture-related sites?45.What is more important to get most German jobs according to the passage?Part III Vocabulary and Structure (25 marks)Section A (15 marks, 0.5 mark each)Directions:There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.
