For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneWhen I was studying English at a training center in Washington D.C. in 1998, I shared a house with two young Americans, Jim, and Steve. Jim was studying French and Steve Chinese, both at the Foreign Service Institute. We shared many things in common, but we also thought and acted quite differently. Steve was interested in speaking Chinese. He always tried every opportunity to talk with me with his very English-like pronunciation. I was often touched with his diligence. However, I wanted to practice English with him, too. So we often speak at the same time in the other’s mother tongue. Jim was fresh from college and the youngest of the three. He was going out all the time. The only time we met was at breakfast. There was a small round table in our kitchen, where we sat around to enjoy our food. Steve had Chinese fast food such as dumplings or noodles, and I ate bread and boiled eggs. But Jim often just drank a cup of tea because he had nothing in his bridge. He was too busy dating pretty French girls to do any shopping. I often offered him some of my food. But Steve told me in his poor Chinese that I didn’t need to do that. He said that it was Jim’s own fault and that it served him right. Although he was learning Chinese, he still held his American sense of value.Two years later, I returned to china. The three of us still keep in touch. Jim now works in a travel agency in Paris. He got married to one of the pretty girls. He wrote to tell us that now he can enjoy a delicious breakfast with his beautiful wife every morning in their comfortable living room. Steve wants to work in china. And I’m helping him with this. I have introduced him to the dean of the Overseas Section of our university. He is very interested in Steve. He wants to know if Steve can work here teaching the overseas students Chinese. I have sent the message toSteve. I’m sure he’d be very happy to accept the job. However, I hope he could try harder to improve himself. Otherwise, all the overseas students would speak with his terrible pronunciation!61. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. The three of them were all language majors.B. Steve and Jim were more alike in character.C. The author didn’t enjoy talking with Steve.D. Their living condition was rather poor.62. What is the author’s opinion of Steve?A. Steve was a very hardworking fellow.B.Steve enjoyed cooking Chinese food.C.Steve enjoyed shopping more than Jim.D. Steve’s Chinese accent was quite pure.63. Which of the following is true about Jim?A. Going out with girls cost him a lot of time.B. He had a French way of making friends.C. He learned French in order to date Paris girls.D. He liked doing housework.64. What does the last sentence of the 1st paragraph imply?A. Steve didn’t like offering help to others.B. American people only eat their own food.C. Americans and Chinese differ in their sense of value.D. Steve wanted Jim to do his own shopping.65. From the last paragraph, we can learn that ______.A. Jim is a very good husband.B. Steve enjoys teaching Chinese.C. The author works for overseas students.D. The three friends still keep in touch.Passage TwoHow often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities. If a child has good parents, he is well fed, looked after and loved. It is unlikely that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child —things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well known. But a child has his pains:He is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things or being punished for what he has done wrong. Therefore, a child is not happy as he wishes to be.When the young man starts to earn his own living, he becomes free from discipline of school and parents; but at the same time he is forced to accept responsibilities. With no one to pay for his food, his clothes, or his room, he has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may get himself into trouble. If, however, he works hard,goes by the law and has good health, he may feel satisfied in seeing himself make steady progress in his job and in building up for himself his own position in society.Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be; but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy. With old age comes wisdom and the ability to help others with advice wisely given. The old can have the joy of seeing their children making progress in life; they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them; and, perhaps best of all, they can, if their life has been a useful one, fell the happiness of having come through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time when they can lie back and rest, leaving everything to others.66.The happiest people should be those who ______.A. Face up to difficulties in lifeB. Hope to be young againC. Enjoy life in different ageD. Wish to be grown up67.The word “they”underlined in Line 5, para. 2 refers to ____.A. Older peopleB. New thingsC. ChildrenD. Interests68. A child has his pains because____. .A. He can not do whatever he wants toB. He is not allowed to play in rainC. He has a lot of new things to learnD. He can not play at the seaside freely69.When a child becomes a grown-up, he is supposed to ____.A.live comfortablyB. Take responsibilitiesC. Make progress in jobD. Impress the society70.The best title of the passage might be ____.A. Pains and AgesB. Differences in AgesC. The Best Age to BeD. Happiness and AgesPassage ThreeLife really should be one long journey of joy for children who are born with a world of wealth at their tiny feet.But experts on psychological research now believe that silver spoons can leave a bitter taste. If suicide statistics are a sign of happiness, then the rich are a miserable lot. Figures show that it is the rich who most often do away with themselves.Dr. Robert C oles, an internationally famous doctor, is the world’s top expert on the influence of money on children. He has written a well-received book on the subject, The Privileged Ones, and his research shows that too much money in the family can cause as many problems as too little. Obviously there are certain advantages to being rich,” says the 53-year-old doctor, such as better health, education and future work expectation. But most important is the quality of family life. Money can’t buy love.”It can buy a lot of other things, though, and that’s where the trouble starts. Rich kids have so much to choose from that they often become confused. Their parents’over favoring can make them spoiled. They tend to travel more than other children, from home to home and country to country, which often makes them feel restless.“But privileged children do have a better sense of their positions in the world,” adds Mr. Coles, “and they are more self-assured.”Today’s rich parents perhaps have realized that their ri ches can be more of a burden than a favor to their children. So their priority is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money.71. According to the passage, children of rich families __________.A. enjoy travelingB. can buy loveC. usually commit suicideD. are not always happy72. Dr. Robert Coles believes that __________.A. being rich has as many advantages as being poorB. rich children often get too little entertainmentC. rich children sometimes can"t enjoy the thing they are most in need ofD. rich children aren"t given enough things73. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. It is love that is always lacking in rich and poor families alike.B. Silver spoons can sometimes leave a bitter taste.C. Money can"t buy everything.D. Rich children are often confused because they have so much to choose from.74. The expression “silver spoons” in Paragraph 1 means __________.A. very expensive spoonsB. rich peopleC. wealthD. spoons made of silver75. This article is written mainly to tell readers that __________.A. the rich are more likely to do away with themselvesB. money can bring a lot of things, including loveC. life is always happy for children of rich parentsD. rich parents should realize what is important in the family is love rather thanmoneyPassage FourCharlene, a 16-year-old student at a high school, found herself faced with a maths test to which sh e knew none of the answers. Rather than fail, she took the test out with her and filled in the answer s with the help of her friends. During a break, she got back into the classroom without being seen, crumpled the test with her shoe, and left it lying on the floor. The teacher thought it had been drop ped when the tests were collected; she corrected it, and Charlene received a B.Cheating is, of course, nothing new. But today, educators are finding that cheating on the part of st udents has become more frequent than in the past. Whether it is copying a friend's homework, usin g a prepared sheet on an exam, stealing advance copies of a final, writing down rules in one's hand , or paying someone else to write a term paper, cheating appears to have gained acceptance among a growing number of students between 13 and 19.In a 1978 study of cheating at twenty-two high schools in Georgia, it was found that cheating was common among good and poor students alike——although both boys and girls said they thought boys cheated more.Why is student cheating on the rise? No one really knows. Some blame cheating on a general loss of good values among today's youth. They point to facts showing increased damage of public thin gs and school stealing and think that reports, such as Watergate have disappointed youth about the honesty of people in higher positions.Others think that today's youth are far more practical than their forefathers. In the late sixties and e arly seventies, students were filled with imaginations about changing the world, but today's studen ts feel great stress to succeed.76. According to Paragraph 1, Charlene took the test out because ____.A. her friends could answer none of the problemsB. she tore the test paper to piecesC. she stepped her shoes on the test paperD. she did not want to fail in the math test77. Charlene passed the test because ____.A. she answered all the questions by herselfB. she did the test by cheatingC. she persuaded her teacher to give her a BD. she returned to the classroom to redo the test78. Which of the following is not an example to show that cheating is becoming more and more co mmon?A. A student pays another for doing a test paper.B. A student writes down something to be tested before an exam.C. A student gets well prepared in his studies before an exam.D. A student gets homework from his classmate and then copies it.79. The 1978 study of cheating in Georgia shows that ____.A. only students in the 24 high schools cheated in examinationsB. both good and poor students cheated in examinationsC. boys liked cheating while girls did not like itD. more girls cheated in examinations than boys did80. One of the facts for the rise of cheating is that ____.A. more and more public things are damagedB. good values disappoint studentsC. more and more students begin to stealD. honest people are in higher positionsPart ⅣTranslation (2×10 points)Directions: There are 10 sentences in this section.

What I did have was a friend who found for me my room in a New York apartment building.It didn't even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom.I immediately bought a used manual typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.After a year or so,however,I still hadn't got a break and began to doubt myself.It was so hard to sell a story that I barely made enough to eat.But I knew I wanted to write.I had dreamed about it for years.I wasn't going to be one of those people who died wondering.What if I would keep putting my dream to test(even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure). This is the shadow-land of hope,and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.51.The passage is meant to_______.A) B) C)warn young people of the hardships that a successful writer has to experience encourage young people to pursue a writing careershow young people it is unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealthD)advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer52.What can be concluded from the passage?A) B) C) D)A writer’s success depends on luck rather than on effort. Genuine writers often find their work interesting and rewarding. Famous writers usually live in poverty and isolation.The chances for writers to become successful are small.53.Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing career?A) B) C) D)He found his dream would never come true. He hadn't seen a change for the better.He wasn't able to have a rest for a whole year. He was not able to produce a single book.54.In Line13“...people who died wondering”，“who” refers to those.A) B) C) D)who think a lot without making a decision who regret giving up their career halfway who think too much of the dark side of life who are full of imagination even upon deathPassage TwoStudents can travel in the United States without spending too much money if they follow these suggestions.A travel agent can give you information on special economy fares for trains,buses and planes.Think about hiking or biking for a part of your trip,too.You‘ll not only save money,but you'll also see a lot more of the country.Some students may want to travel by car.Be sure to think about going with other students—many colleges have'‘ride boards” that list when and where other students plan to travel.Many radio stations provide the same,sort of service—they announce who’s driving where,when,how many riders they will take and what the expenses will be.There are many inexpensive, older hotels near bus or train stations. Check your travel guide for names of the best. Many parts of the country also have youth hostels where young people can stay for only a few dollars a night.You don't have to eat in restaurants all the time, but we don?t recommend a diet of candy and cola, either. You can usually get a healthy, cheap breakfast in a restaurant. If the weather is warm, you can buy food in supermarkets or at roadside stands and have a picnic for lunch.

Less than a dozen of her poems were published during her lifetime. In spite of this, she is regarded today as a great poet, perhaps the greatest poet the United States has produced. Along with the Greek poet Sappho, she may be one oi the two greatest women poets who have ever lived.Dickinson was born on December 10, 1830, in a small Massachusetts town called Amherst. Hers was an oid family; her ancestors had come lo the United States 200 years before. Her parents were not really rich, but they were certainly not poor. She had an older brother, Austin, and a younger sister, Lavinia. Her parents seem to have been rather withdrawn people, and the members of the family spent a good deal of time by themselves. She doesn ’t seem to have liked her mother very much. She spoke once of never really having a mother.She was educated at the local Amherst Academy and Mount Holyoke Women ’ s Seminary. Although she was sometimes described as pretty, she never married. In all outward respects, her life appeared to be rather boring.The time and place in which she lived was not a good one for a woman artist to succeed. Women are expected to be obedient to men and to remain in their place at home. Rather than waste her life in the meaningless round of social events that were open to women, she decided at some point to retreat from the world in order to write her poetry. From then on, she spent a great deal oftime in her bedroom writing. In later years when she was standing in front of her bedroom door, she looked at her niece and said,“It ’s just a turn-and freedom, Mary!” It was when she closed the door of her room and turned the key that locked the door that the most important andcreative hours of her life were spent,the hours when she wrote her poetry.She was regarded as a recluse by many of her neighbors,that is,as a person who spent a good deal of time by herself.59.According to the author,who is the greatest woman poet in America?A)Both Sappho and Dickinson C)Sappho B)Emily Dickinson D)Not mentioned60.Women in Emily Dickinson’s time______.A)are regarded as reclusesB) C)are expected to be obedient to men spend most of their time in social eventD)are expected to retreat from the world61.Emily Dickinson's ancestors came to the United States in around.A)1630B)1830C)1730D)193062.Which of the following statement is NOT true?A) B) C)It is quite likely that Emily Dickinson didn't like her mother.Emily Dickinson regarded being locked in her room as“freedom”.She is well-known in her lifetime and is still regarded as a great poet now.D)Her parents seem to have been rather withdrawn people,and they spent a good deal of time with their family members.Section BDirections: Match the Chinese sentences in the left column with the English in the right column, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. 63.国家的前途很大程度上取决于年 A) The happiest people don ’t necessarily have the best things; they just make the most ofeverything that comes along their way.轻一代的教育。

choices marked A,B,C and D.You should decide on the best choice and then mark the corresponding letter on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage oneUndoubtedly,leading a low-carbon lifestyle is a popular trend in modem society,where a considerable number of individuals begin to undertake the responsibility to protect the environment.One of my Chinadialogue colleagues in Beijing recently bought a Philips energy-saving light bulb to replace a standard one.He was happy with his choice.It may have cost30Yuan(just under4.50dollars)-ten times the price of a filament(灯丝)bulb-but he wanted to save energy as part of hislow-carbon lifestyle.And according to the shopkeeper,he would save,in the long run,much more than the30Yuanhe was spending.Yet only one month later,his expensive light bulb blew up,before he had saved even a small part of the purchase price.Will he stick to his high-cost,low-carbon lifestyle?China's environmental organizations have started to advocate low-carbon lifestyles and the decrease of carbon footprints to help fight against climate change.But they have overlooked one fact:in China,low-carbon living comes at a high cost.It means buying energy-saving bulbs and appliances,and environmentally friendly building materials and daily goods.Cost can no longer be the only standard for purchases.An energy-saving and environmentally friendly product is more expensive than a standard alternative-whether it's a simple light bulb or the house it shines.For average consumers,even buying an ordinary house is a huge burden.How can we persuade ordinary people to choose an energy-saving residence?This is not a trend they can afford to follow;perhaps this fashion is only for the rich.Most consumers today do not cause huge carbon dioxide(CO2),emissions.Their responsibility lies not in choosing a low-carbon lifestyle today,but in avoiding a higlr-carton life in the future.The principle of"common but differentiated responsibility"-a basis of sustainable development-can be applied here as well.In China,low-carbon living is still resisted by a lack of social infrastructure.Even if your salary allows you to make that choice,nobody is there to help you accomplish it.Many so-called energy-saving buildings are even more energy-hungry than the average home.31.What may probably be the best title of this passage?.A.To Purchase a Cheap Bulb--Your Wise AlternativeB.To Choose an Energy-saving Residence-a Must of Your LifeC.To Live a Low-carbon Lifestyle-a Promising but Difficult PurposeD.To Live a low-carbon Lifestyle-Each Citizen's Responsibility32.Why did the writer’s colleague get an energy-saving light bulb?.A.He wanted to save some moneyB.He wanted to try living his low-cabon lifestyleC.He was asked to do so by some organizationsD.He wanted to use a more powerful light bulb33.The underlined phrase"blew up",in paragraph2,is closest in meaning to.A.improved a lotB.saved much energyC.got outdatedD.broke down34.We can infer from the passage that.ing energy-saving bulbs and appliances is a fashionB.not all citizens have the same responsibility-live a low–carbon lifestyleC.it's difficult for most Chinese to try to live a low-carbon lifestyleD.Chinese families cannot afford to purchase an energy-saving residence35.What is the writer's attitude towards the low-carbon lifestyle?A.supportive but cautiousB.optimistic and entertainingC.negative but wiseD.Positive and activePassage TwoAccording to certain research,highway crashes can be cut by optical illusion(错觉).Japan is a case in point.It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly75percent using B simple optical illusion.Bent stripes,called chevrons(人字形),painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are,and thus drivers slow down.Now the American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D.C.is planning to repeat Japan’s success.Starting next year,the foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes.Excessive speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents,according to the foundation. To help reduce those accidents,the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed-related hazards are thegreatest-curves,exit slopes,traffic circles,and bridges.Some studies suggest that straight,horizontal bars painted across roads can initially cut the average speed of drivers in half.However,traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bars.Chevrons,scientists say,not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear lo be narrower.The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.36.Drivers tend to feel that on roads painted with chevrons.A.they should avoid speed-related hazardsB.they are driving in the wrong laneC.they are approaching the speed limitD.they should slow down their speed37.The advantage of chevrons over straight,horizontal bars is that the former.A.will have a longer effect on driversB.can cut road accidents in halfC.can keep drivers awakeD.will look more attractive38.The American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety plans to.A.replace straight,horizontal bars with chevronsB.change the road signs across the countryC.try out the Japanese method in certain areasD.repeat the Japanese road patterns39.What does the author say about straight,horizontal bars painted across roads?.A.They are falling out of use in the United StatesB.They tend to be ignored by drivers in a short period of timeC.They are applicable only on broad roadsD.They cannot be applied suecessfully to traffic circles40.The passage mainly discusses.A.a new type of optical illusionB.a new pattern for painting highwaysC.a new approach to training driversD.a new way of highway speed controlPassage ThreeAs well as peers of my generation,I have a weakness for hero worship.At some point,however,we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them.This leads us to ask:What is a hero?Despite immense differences in cultures,heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people.A hero does something worth talking about.A hero has a story of adventure to tell and a Community who will listen.But a hero goes beyond mere fame.Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves.Like high-voltage transformers,heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.The hero lives a life worthy of imitation.Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm,and meaning.A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom do they serve?What are they willing to live and die for?If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame,they may he famous persons but not heroes.Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous,but who would claim that their fans find life more morally abundant?Heroes are catalysts(催化剂)for change.They have a vision from the mountaintop.They have the skill and the charm to move the masses.They create new possibilities.Without Gandhi,India might still be part of the British Empire. Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King,Jr,we might still have segregated(隔离的)buses restaurants,and parks.It may be possible for large-scale change to occur without leaders with magenetic personalities,but the pace of change would be slow,the vision uncertain,and the committee meetings endless.41.Although heroes may come from different cultures,they.A.are often influenced by previous generationsB.all unknowingly attract a large number of fansC.generally possess certain inspiring characteristicsD.probably share some weaknesses of ordinary people42.According to the passage,heroes are compared to high-voltage transformers in that.A.they have warm feelings and emotionsB.they can serve as concrete examples of noble principlesC.they can make people feel stronger and more confidentD.they have a vision from the mountaintop43.Madonna and Michael Jackson are not regarded as heroes because.A.their primary concern is their own financial interestsB.they are not clear about the principles they should followC.they are popular only among certain groups of peopleD.their performances do not improve their fans morally44.Gandhi and Martin Luther King are typical examples of outstanding leaders who.A.can move the masses with their distinctive charm and skillB.are good at demonstrating their charming charactersC.can provide an answer to the problems of their peopleD.are capable of meeting all challenges and hardships45.The author concludes that historical changes would.A.take place if there were heroes to lead the peopleB.be delayed without leaders with inspiring personal qualitiesC.not happen without heroes making the necessary sacrificesD.produce leader with attractive personalitiesPassage FourAfter graduation,I was assigned to teach a writing class.Teaching was a profession I had never seriously considered,though several of my stories had been published.I accepted the job without hesitation,as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr.Davis.My father went by the same name,and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused."Wait a minute"someone might say,"are you talking about Mr.Davis the retired man,or Mr. Davis the respectable scholar?”The position was offered at the last minute,and I was given two weeks to prepare,a period I spent searching for briefcase and standing before my full-length mirror,repeating the words,“Hello,class,I'm Mr.Davis.Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice.Sometimes I would sound experienced.But when the day eventually came,my nerves kicked in and the true Mr.Davis was there.I sounded not like a thoughtful professor,but rather a12-year-old boy.I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves.I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper.I saw nine students along a long table.I handed out the cards,and the students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required.“All right then,”I said.“Okay,here we go.”Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I had never thought beyond this moment.I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk,offering their thoughts and opinions on the events of the day.I had imagined that I would sit.At the edge of the deak,overlooking a forest of hands.Every student would yell.“Calm down,you'll all get your turn.One at a time,one at a time!”A terrible silence ruled the room,and seeing no other opinions,I inspected the students to pull out their notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment.46.The author took the job to teach writing because.A.he had written some storiesB.he wanted to be respectedC.he wanted to please his fatherD.he had dreamed of being a teacher47.What can we learn about the author from Paragraph2?.A.He got nervous upon the arrival of his first classB.He was well-prepared for his first classC.He would be aggressive in his first classD.He waited long for the arrival of his first class48.Before he started his class the author asked the students to.A.write don their suggestions on the paper cardsB.cut maple leaves out of the construction paperC.write down their names on the paper cardsD.cut some cards out of the construction paper49.What did the students do when the author started his class?.A.They raised their handsB.They shouted to

第一部分：阅读理解（共20小题,每小题2分,满分40分）阅读下列材料,从每小题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

AKaren Christiansen in Madison,Wisconsin,is licking stamps and addressing envelopes.Soon she and her fiance will be sending out invitations to their wedding.Meanwhile,Wei Yashung is at the hairdresser’s in Shanghai, China.She knows she will have a long wait.It’s May18,the most popular day to get married in China.The room is filled with brides preparing for their special day.“Everyone feels very emotional at this time.There are a lot of rituals and superstitions（迷信）at the wedding,”says Maxine Rowe,an anthropologist.Karen’s aunt and sisters help her check off the things she needs according to old customs.They recite the traditional verse,“Something old,something new,something borrowed,and something blue.”Friends and relatives gather around and contribute grandmother’s locket（纪念品盒）,a cousin’s wedding veil,or a blue garter to prepare for the ceremony.Many wedding traditions in western cultures began long ago and were designed to protect the couple from ad luck.“The wedding veil is a Greek custom intended to hide the bride from evil spirits,”says Maxine.“The Romans contributed the custom of bridesmaids to confuse the spirits.Wedding bouquets had strong-smelling herbs to scare witches and devils.”In China,thousands of couples choose May18for heir wedding day.“In the past,people consulted an almanac（历书）to find lucky days,”explains Maxine.“But in modern times a new tradition is being formed.”May 18sounds very close in Chinese to“wo yao fa,”or“I will get rich.”It is considered a good omen to get married on this day.Some people don’t think it’s a good idea for everyone to get married on the same day.“It’s silly and superstitious,”one reporter wrote.But hairdressers,florist,and owners of restaurants say it’s the best day.They can raise their prices and their services are fully booked.Maybe they are the ones who should be saying,“I will get rich.”1.The overall structure of this passage can be called______.[A]comparison and contrast[B]description of events in order of time[C]details leading to conclusion[D]generalization followed by details2.An anthropologist in Paragraph2probably studies______.[A]hairstyles[B]Jewels[C]Almanac[D]customs3.Why do Karen’s friends and relatives contribute a cousin’s wedding veil？[A]Because it is something old.[B]Because it is something new.[C]Because it is something borrowed.[D]Because it is something blue.4.The word“omen”in Paragraph5probably means______.[A]a sign of star[B]a sign of present[C]a sign of past[D]a sign of future5.What’s the writer’s tone in the last sentence“Maybe they are the ones who should be saying,‘I will get rich.’”?[A]Humorous.[B]Tolerant.[C]Matter-of-fact.[D]Furious.BThe easiest and least complicated way to motivate somebody is quite simply to pay them attention.What you say is not particularly important,nor necessarily is how long you spend saying it,as long as it’s something.“Nice weather”or“How are you?”will do.People just love attention,adults and children.Children love attention so much that they will do anything to get some.In fact,if children are not getting enough attention,they would rather be naughty and get told off than be“good”and be ignores.An interesting time in most households with young children is dinnertime—it’s the end of the day,everybody is tired,the house is in a mess and Johnny doesn’t like carrots and is refusing to eat his food. Again,the easy trap to fall into is to start getting cross with Johnny and getting into a big argument about his food. Again,he’s getting the attention he desires；even if it’s not the best sort of attention,it’s better than nothing.It’s fascinating if you’re able to stand back from the situation and instead focus attention and praise on Johnny’s brother who is eating his food—after all,he’s the one that is doing what you want him to do.After five or ten minutes or so of being ignores and deprived of the attention,it’s amazing how quickly（usually）Johnny sees sense and obeys.I’ve watched my own children in this situation go from screaming from behind the sofa that they won’t eat their food,to sheepishly crawling to the table saying that maybe they’ll have a little bit,to sitting in their chair wolfing the lot and saying,“Mummy,aren’t I doing good dinner eating?”—all without having one word spoken to them by their parents,who are busily paying attention to their brothers.This fundamental need for attention,and doing whatever it takes to get it,doesn’t disappear when we turn into adults.Sure,there are people who are“real attention seekers”in a loud and extravert（外向的）way,and there arethe shy,retiring types who don’t want attention in such a“sociable”way.But everybody still wants to be recognized and seen as worthwhile.5.What will children probably do to get parents’attention？[A]They will keep quiet for a long time.[B]They will ignore their parents.[C]They will behave naughtily.[D]They will get cross easily.5.What does the phrase“the easy trap to fall into”in Paragraph2probably mean？[A]A set-up situation parents are likely to go into.[B]The household work parents can not avoid.[C]Some tempting food children love to eat.[D]A bad habit children easily develop.6.An effective way to make children behave themselves may be to_____.[A]scold them severely[B]teach them what to do[C]give them total freedom[D]praise their sisters or brothers7.“Real attention seekers”in the last paragraph are probably those who_____.[A]motivate others to learn[B]associate with shy types[C]rely on negative attention[D]arouse others’attention openly8.What point does the author make by relating to children’s behavior？[A]Children’s upbringing needs parents’constant care.[B]Children are usually extravert while adults are sociable.[C]Both adults and children need to be seen as worthwhile.[D]The motivation of children differs greatly from that of adults.CNamed for the dense shade of their thick pines,the Black Hills of South Dakota have for centuries been considered holy by the Lakota Sioux,once the most powerful tribe in the West.Today,because of the passions of a few artists,the land itself has become holy in another way.It took the obsessed sculptor Gutzon Borglum,his son Lincoln,and four hundred workers fourteen years （1927-1941）to complete an artistic and engineering project so monumental that no one believed it possible: carving and blasting the six-story faces of George Washington,Thomas Jefferson,Teddy Roosevelt,and Abraham Lincoln out of stony Mount Rushmore.A little trivia:Washington’s eyes are11feet wide,and his nose is26feet long.Mr.Lincoln,for his part,sports a mole（痣）that measures16inches across.Just17miles away,the gigantic Crazy Horse Memorial is slowly taking shape.Also carved into granite（花岗岩）,this memorial,when completed somewhere around2050,after a century’s labor,will depict（刻画）Native America’s greatest warriors chief on his horse,dwarfing Mount Rushmore at563feet tall.The horse’s nostril（鼻孔）alone will be large enough to hold a five-room house.From Crazy Horse,head east on the beautiful14-miles Needles Highway,past billion-year-old granite hills, to Sylvan Lake and then north to Spearfish Canyon Scenic Byway,whose landscape you’ll easily recognize as the backdrops used in the film Dances with Wolves.Alternatively,you can park your bags in the pleasant Game Lodge that served as Calvin Coolidge’s Summer White House.Of the historic inn’s seven rooms,you can still book the room the thirtieth president and his wife occupied during the three months in1972.The lodge is one of three found within Custer State Park,whose18-miles Wildlife Loop Road runs through unfenced meadows where herds of 1,500buffalo roam.9.The word“sports”in Paragraph2most probably means_____.[A]is famous for[B]is characterized by[C]is decorated with[D]is accompanied by10.Of the four things mentioned in the passage,which one is the largest？[A]Washington’s eyes.[B]Washington’s nose.[C]Lincoln’s mole.[D]Crazy Horse’s nose.11.Which of the following projects is still in progress？[A]Lincoln’s face.[B]Crazy Horse.[C]Summer White House.[D]Wildlife Loop Road.12.What is NOT a feature that Mount Rushmore sculpture and Crazy Horse have in common？[A]They were very large.[B]They were carved out of granite.[C]They were located in the Black Hills.[D]They both depicted the Indian tribes.13.Who is the thirtieth president of the US？[A]Thomas Jefferson.[B]Teddy Roosevelt.[C]Abraham Lincoln.[D]Calvin Coolidge.D[A]A magazine.[B]A newspaper.[C]A government white paper.[D]A university journal.15.According to the passage,male managers tend to_______.[A]be more selfless in teamwork[B]ask more questions when surveyed[C]be considerate leaders in a company[D]claim the contribution made by their colleagues16.What can be found after comparing the findings in the UK and in the US ？[A]The findings are irrelevant.[B]The findings are contradictory.[C]The findings match each other.[D]The findings are not significant.17.What does the phrase“penny-pinching companies”in Paragraph 7probably mean ？Women are more efficient and trustworthy,have a better understanding of their workforce and are more generous with their praise.In short they make the best managers,and if men are to keep up they will have to start learning from their female counterparts,a report claims today.The survey of 1,000male and female middle and senior managers from across the UK is an indictment （谴责）of the ability of men to function as leaders in the modern workplace.A majority of those questioned believed women had a more modern outlook on their profession and were more open—minded and considerate.By way of contrast,a similar number believe male managers are self-centered and more likely to steal credit for work done by others.Management Today magazine,which conducted the research,said that after years of having to adopt a masculine identity and hide their emotions and natural behavior in the workplace,women have become role models for managers.The findings tally with a survey of female bosses carried out in the US.A five-year study of 2,500managers from 450firms found that many male bosses were rated by their staff of both sexes to be self-centered and autocratic （独裁的）.Women on the other hand leave men in the starting blocks when it comes to teamwork and communicating with staff.In Britain more than 61%of those surveyed said men did not make better bosses than women.Female managers use time more effectively,with many of those surveyed commenting that juggling （兼顾的）commitments is a familiar practice for women with a job and a family.Female managers also appear to make good financial sense for penny-pinching companies :most people,of either sex,would rather ask for a rise from a man.14.What is the source of the data mentioned in the passage ？[A]Companies that lack money.[B]Companies that are very generous.[C]Companies that earn a lot of money.[D]Companies that are unwilling to spend money.18.What is the main idea of the passage ？[A]Men are better managers than women.[B]Women are better managers than men.[C]Male managers are more willing to learn.[D]Men leaders and women leaders have different advantages.A.Focus on the conversation at hand.B.If you can’t look the interview in the eye,they won’t believe your answer.C.It is your real opportunity to get face to face with your potential employer.D.If the interviewers haven’t indicated when a decision will be reached,ask them.E.Explain in detail how a team atmosphere can improve your personal efficiency.F.Losers dwell on past losses whereas winners dwell on future success.第二部分：七选五阅读（共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分）文中有5个空格,每个空格为一题,要求考生根据文章的意思从所提供的7个选项中选出最合适的5个,分别填入空格处,其余2项为多余选项。
