材料题根据以下材料，回答1-20题Holiday eating gets a bad rap. Around New Years, we’re hit with calls to clean up our wayward diets by eliminating 1and counting calories. But psychologists and epidemiologists alike 2 that all this fuss could do more harm than good.The social aspect of the holidays can make it difficult to 3 your usual diet—it’s hard to 4 another cookie or glass of wine when everyone around you is partaking—so it’s understandable if you feel like you must have caused your body harm. But research suggests that festive meals come with their own set of health 5. A 2017 study published in Adaptive Human Behavior and Physiology found that people who ate more meals in social 6 were more likely to feel better about themselves and have a wider social network—characteristics that, as the study authors point out, are 7with happiness, wellbeing, and lower risk of illness. Evening meals involving alcohol were the most likely to 8 feelings of warmth and bonding.Sometimes, participating in these social situations involves 9caloric, fatty, or sugary foods and drinks. Bioethicists at Johns Hopkins argue that those foods, too, have health value. “Sharing food is a way to express love, forge relationships, and 10 bonds,”they wrote in an article published in the Kennedy Institute of Ethics Journal. “What we eat expresses our personal and 11 identities.”Our cultural obsession over whether foods are healthy or not is 12universal. Psychologists at the University of Pennsylvania recently asked 947 Indian, French, and American participants to sort a list of foods in whatever 13they deemed mostappropriate. Their results showed that 14French and Indian respondents generally chose to sort foods into 15 groupings like “food vs. drink,” most Americans chose to 16 foods by whether they deemed them healthy or unhealthy.Researchers found that the French were the most likely to associate food with pleasure, and the least likely to associate food with health. Americans were on the 17 end of the spectrum. That’s significant because French people, on average, have lower rates of heart disease and live around four years longer. That’s not to say that French diets are the key to health and 18, but a(n) 19 on the pleasure of food rather than its health-value certainly doesn’t seem to 20.1. 【完形填空】第1题答案是A. weedsB. treatsC. drugsD. staples正确答案：B2. 【完形填空】第2题的答案是A. denyB. demandC. cautionD. promise正确答案：C3. 【完形填空】第3题的答案是A. diversifyB. improveC. balanceD. maintain正确答案：D4. 【完形填空】第4题的答案是A. turn down第 2 页共 21 页B. eat upC. indulge inD. settle for正确答案：A5. 【完形填空】第5题的答案是A. restrictionsB. benefitsC. regulationsD. risks正确答案：B6. 【完形填空】第6题的答案是A. classesB. termsC. settingsD. relations正确答案：C7. 【完形填空】第7题的答案是A. comparedB. presentedC. associatedD. equipped正确答案：C8. 【完形填空】第8题的答案是A. suppressB. exhaustC. exploitD. trigger正确答案：D9. 【完形填空】第9题的答案是A. preparingB. consumingC. limitingD. avoiding正确答案：B10. 【完形填空】第10题的答案是A. reinforceB. diminishC. aggravateD. disconnect正确答案：A11. 【完形填空】第11题的答案是A. nationalB. culturalC. privateD. group正确答案：D12. 【完形填空】第12题的答案是A. in partB. far fromC. in essenceD. as usual正确答案：B13. 【完形填空】第13题的答案是A. combinationB. situationC. directionD. manner正确答案：D第 4 页共 21 页14. 【完形填空】第14题的答案是A. sinceB. untilC. whileD. unless正确答案：C15. 【完形填空】第15题的答案是A. neutralB. binaryC. openD. sequential正确答案：A16. 【完形填空】第16题的答案是A. purchaseB. processC. categorizeD. evaluate正确答案：C17. 【完形填空】第17题的答案是A. oppositeB. identicalC. severeD. moderate正确答案：A18. 【完形填空】第18题的答案是A. prosperityB. freedomC. wealthD. longevity正确答案：D19. 【完形填空】第19题的答案是A. banB. focusC. attemptD. attack正确答案：B20. 【完形填空】第20题的答案是A. hurtB. careC. matterD. hold正确答案：A下列每小题的四个选项中，只有一项是最符合题意的正确答案，多选、错选或不选均不得分。

Everything seems to happen like a dream and you are happy to have made the decision to work abroad. But as everyone knows, no honeymoon lasts forever.(2).Questions 9-13·You will hear a passage about "Surviving Cultural Shock".·For questions 9-13, choose from the list A-F the five stages of cultural shock.·Use the letters only once.

Suddenly you'll start to discover that your ways of doing things—professionally and otherwise—just don't work in the new environment. Stores aren't open when you need them and leisure time is frustrating because the television programs and the films are dubbed in another language. As your troubles add up and no one wants to lend you a hand to help, you start thinking the locals are either incapable of understanding your problems or just don't care. This in turn triggers the emotion that is one of the surest signs of culture shock: hostility to the new environment. You begin to hate your host country and everything connected with it.(3).Questions 9-13·You will hear a passage about "Surviving Cultural Shock".·For questions 9-13, choose from the list A-F the five stages of cultural shock.·Use the letters only once.

You can either decide to try again—approach everything again with a smile on your face and change yourattitude—or you can take the easy road and just withdraw further into your shell. In the latter case, the signs for failure in the new locale are pretty clear: You refuse to continue learning the local language, make friends among the locals, or take any interest in the local culture. And worst of all, you begin to believe that people are out to swindle you just because you are a foreigner. Following this path will inevitably increase your isolation because people will sense the antagonism and begin to avoid you.(4).Questions 9-13·You will hear a passage about "Surviving Cultural Shock".·For questions 9-13, choose from the list A-F the five stages of cultural shock.·Use the letters only once.

One day, you'll find yourself beginning to smile or even laugh at some of the things that caused you so much grief at the start. When this happens, you are on the road to recovery. As you begin to become more comfortable with the local language and customs, your self-esteem andself-confidence will return. Your affection for your new home will grow from reluctant acceptance to genuine fondness. You'll finally understand that it's not a matter of whether here is better than there: There are different ways to live your life and no way is really better than another.(5).Questions 9-13·You will hear a passage about "Surviving Cultural Shock".·For questions 9-13, choose from the list A-F the five stages of cultural shock.·Use the letters only once.

Most start thinking abouthow nice it will be to return to familiar surroundings, back to friends and family and all the things you love and cherish. But the re-entry can be much harder than most realize. When you slowly forced yourself to like and love your new home abroad, you probably had to gradually deconstruct your long-held beliefs to make room for new values and ways of life. You adopted new habits and a new lifestyle and it can be difficult to go back to your old life. It will also take you quite some time to reacquaint yourself with your home culture.四、Part 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Questions 14-23·Look at the ten statements for this part.·You will hear a passage about "A Research on Sleep ".

RightB. WrongC. Not Mentioned（分数：1.00）A.B. √C.解析：[解析] 14-23A Research on SleepWhen you first drift offinto slumber, your eyes will roll about a bit, your temperature will drop slightly, your muscles will relax, and your breathing will slow and become quite regular. Your brain waves slow down a bit too, with the alpha rhythm predominating for the first few minutes. This is called Stage 1 sleep.For the next half hour or so, as you relax more and more, you will drift down through Stage 2 and Stage 3 sleep. The lower your stage of sleep, the slower your brain waves will be. Then, about 40—60 minutes after you lose consciousness, you will have reached the deepest sleep of all. Your brain waves will show the delta rhythm. This is Stage 4 sleep.You may think that you stay at this deep fourth stage all the rest of the night, but that turns out not to be the case. Instead, about 80 minutes after you fall into slumber, your activity cycle placed by the activity pattern of brain waves increases. Your eyes will begin to dart around under your closed eyelids as if you were looking at something occurring in front of you. This period of Rapid Eye Movements lasts for some 8—15 minutes and is called REM sleep. During both light and deep sleep, the muscles in your body are relaxed but capable of movement. However, as you slip into REM sleep, a very odd thing occurs—most of the voluntary muscles in your body become paralyzed. Although your brain shows very rapid bursts of neural activity during REM sleep, your body is incapable of moving. In more technical terms—as we will see later in this chapter—we can say that REM sleep is accompanied by extensive muscular inhibition.(2).The lower your stage of sleep, the slower your brain waves will be.A.

RightB. WrongC. Not Mentioned（分数：1.00）A. √B.C.解析：[解析] 14-23Today's program is all about eyes. When it comes to relationships, people's eyes can be a window into their hearts. This means that their eyes can tell a lot about how they feel. We will tell a story about a man and woman who are teachers at the same school. The woman is interested in the man. She uses many methods to catch his eye, or get him to notice her. Once he sets eyes on her,or sees her,she might try to get him interested in her by acting playful．In other words，she might try to make eyes at him or give him the eye．Let us suppose that this man gets hit between the eyes．In other words，the woman has a strong affect on him．He wants to spend time with her to get to know her better．He asks her out on a date．She is so happy that she may walk around for days with stars in her eyes．She is extremely happy because this man is the apple of her eye，a very special person．She might tell him that he is the only person she wants，or l only have eyes for you．On their date，the couple might eat a meal together at a restaurant．If the man is really hungry，his eyes might be bigger than his stomach．He might order more food than he can eat． When his food arrives at the table，his eyes might pop out．He might be very surprised by the amount of food provided．He might not even believe his own eyes．If fact，all eyes would be watching him if he ate all the food．This might even cause raised eyebrows．People might look at the man with disapproval．During their dinner，the couple might discuss many things．They might discover that they see eye to eye，or agree on many issues．They share the same beliefs and opinions．For example，they might agree that every crime or injury should be punished．That is，they firmly believe in the idea of an eye for an eye．They might also agree that it is wrong to pull the wool over a person’s eyes．This means to try to trick a person by making him believe something that is false．But the man and woman do not believe in the evil eye，that a person can harm you by looking at you．The next day,at their school，the woman asks the man to keep an eye on，or watch the young students in her class while she is out of the classroom．This might be hard to do when the teacher is writing on a board at the front of the classroom．To do so，a teacher would need to have eyes in the back of his head．In other words，he would know what the children are doing even when he is not watching them．[解析] 文中说，“眼睛是心灵之窗，它们能告诉他人你所思所想”。
BFT考试(全国出国培训备选人员外语水平考试)-20(总分：90.00，做题时间：90分钟)一、Reading(总题数：5，分数：90.00)Happy Customers: Matter of Honor among JapaneseIn an age when personal service as a significant aspect of merchandising is dying out in the Untied States, Japan clings tenaciously to it. Service is viewed by people in Japan not as a luxury, but as an essential ingredient for the success of individual companies and the Japanese economy as a whole.Americans who move to Japan never get used to the range of services and courtesies taken for granted here. (1)Supermarket check-out counters have two or three people ringing up and bagging groceries. Some stores deliver, with each bag arriving neatly stapled closed. (2)Television shops normally send a technician to install and fine-tune a newly purchased set. (3) Car salespeople are known to bring new models around to customers' homes for test drives and loaners are available for people whose cars are in for repairs.There are no limits to what is home-delivered —video movies, dry cleaning, health foods, rented tailcoats (this last one requires tow visits from the sales staff, first for a fitting, second for delivery of the altered and freshly pressed garment). (4)Japanese barbers often give back massages as part of an ordinary haircut. (5)Department stores seem to have twice, if not three times the floor staff of American ones. (6) Upscale customers don't have to come in at all — the goods are taken to their homes for display and selection.Perhaps the darkest spot on personal service in Japan is how remarkably impersonal it can be. Everyone is treated exactly alike. (7) After a month's stay in a hotel, guests may find the staff still has no idea who they are.Still, the Japanese view service as the glue that holds commercial relationships together. If the correct personal contact and follow-up come with the first sale, a second is sure to come. Market share and loyal customers are the first goal, not short-term profit. (8)A. The technician will rush back if anything goes wrong.B. If they remove a customer's eyeglasses, they may polish the lenses before returning them.C. Employee's cheery greetings and directions, in fact, are often memorized from a company manual.D. Many stores wrap everything they sell.E. Service may cost but it helps ensure these more important objectives.F. Dry ice is inserted alongside the frozen foods to ensure that they don't spoil on the way.G. Office deliveries are common, too, especially of lunch.H.

2023年普通高等学校招生全国统一考试模拟考试（二）英语试卷学校：___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________ 一、阅读理解The number of passengers varies among airports, with some airports serving tens of millions of passengers. Interestingly, some of the busiest airports in the country are not necessarily the biggest by surface area.Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport (ATL)Atlanta Airport has been the world's busiest airport since 1998. Approximately 104 million people traveled through it in 2019, 20 million passengers more than the second busiest airport. ATL is located 11 kilometers away from Atlanta and named after Maynard Jackson and William Hartsfield, Atlanta's two former mayors.Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW)DFW Airport is located between Dallas and Fort Worth, covering 69.63 square kilometers. In 2019, the airport served 75 million passengers, the most in its 45 years of existence. It has service to over 250 destinations, the majority being domestic destinations within the country. The airport has its fire protection unit, zip code, police, and emergency services.McCarran International Airport (LAS)Located approximately 8 kilometers south of Las Vegas, it occupies 11.3 square kilometers. It was constructed in 1942 and opened to flights in 1948. LAS is now the 9th busiest airport in the US, serving over 51 million passengers in 2019. Initially, the runways were made of asphalt(沥青), but are now made of concrete.Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT)CLT Airport was opened in 1935 as Charlotte Municipal Airport. 19 years later, it was renamed after Ben Elbert Douglas, Charlotte's mayor, when the airport was expanded. The present name was given to the airport in 1982. CLT is located about 10 kilometers from Charlotte and is an airport for military and commercial use.1、Which is the best airport to go to for people who need immediate help？A. ATL.B. DFW.C. LAS.D. CLT.2、What's mentioned about LAS？A. Its present runways have been upgraded.B. It took six years to prepare for construction.C. Its original asphalt runways caused the accident.D. It received the most passengers in the world in 2019.3、What do ATL and CLT have in common？A. They are for commercial purpose only.B. They are the world's busiest airports.C. They are related to people's names.D. They were built by former mayors.If someone had told me five years ago that I would be living happily ever after on a small farm in western Oklahoma, I would have immediately denied the possibility. Back then, I was a confirmed city girl. I enjoyed the city life.Then one day, while we were checking my mother's farm for her, I looked around, liked what I saw and asked my husband, “Why don't we build a house here on the farm?”To my surprise, he said, “Yes!”And so we began a new and very different chapter in our life story. My husband and I set out to deal with the land. We took down dead trees, knocked down the outbuildings and planted vegetable and flower gardens. We learned new skills as we worked and provided the locals with humorous moments as they answered our questions. We built a home to welcome family and friends, to share the beauty and bounty of the land.We soon realized the land had played a joke on us: it had changed and transformed us in our efforts to change it. We lost weight and gained muscles.We've learned to recognize and honor nature's cycles and timing instead of clocks, calendars, schedules and to-do lists. With only two clocks in the house, we enjoy the flow of days into nights. Our timeless life allows us to appreciate sunrises and sunsets—each a unique event that camera and words only partially capture.Living a simple life in the country has led us back to common sense. We've learned to be resourceful in solving problems and can think of many unique ways. I become better at handling a situation with fewer resources and conveniences.In the quietness of the land, we hear and appreciate nature's music. We also listen to the silence. Walking through the grasses, gazing at the century-old trees and wondering about all the changes and history they have witnessed are relaxing pastimes. I have to be truthful: caring for the land is a joyful job.4、How did her husband react to the author's proposal?A. Opposed.B. Approving.C. Surprised.D. Concerned.5、How did the author benefit from the country life?A. She enjoyed better health.B. She made much money by working.C. She regained the respect from the farmers.D. She improved her relationship with her family.6、What is the author's feeling when living in the country?A. She becomes more creative.B. She becomes more humorous.C. She becomes more honest with others.D. She becomes more interested in travelling.7、What message does the author want to convey?A. Simple life is the most important.B. Country life is better than city life.C. Getting close to nature can be joyful.D. Living in the country is everyone's dream.If you are a perfectionist, you are probably familiar with the feeling of wanting to get everything just right. You may struggle with handing in papers, agonize over projects at work, and even worry about small errors from the past. High standards are one thing, but perfectionism is quite another. And as some researchers have discovered, pursuing perfection can have serious consequences to both mental and physical well-being.According to researchers, perfectionists hold themselves to unrealistically high standards and become self-critical if they believe they haven't met these standards. Perfectionists are also likely to feel guilt and shame if they experience failures, which often leads them to avoid situations where they are worried they might fail.In one study, researchers looked at a total of 284 studies (with over 57, 000 participants) and found that perfectionism was associated with symptoms of depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and eating disorders. They also found that people higher in perfectionism (i.e. participants who more strongly identified with perfectionist traits) also reported higher levels of overall psychological distress.In an article published in 2016, researchers looked at how perfectionism and depression were related over time. They found that people higher in perfectionism tended to have increases in depression symptoms, which suggests that perfectionism may be a risk factor for developing depression. In other words, although people may think of their perfectionism as something that helps them succeed, it appears that their perfectionism may actually be harmful for their mentalhealth.Since perfectionism is associated with negative outcomes, what can someone with perfectionist tendencies do to change their behavior? Although people are sometimes hesitant to give up their perfectionist tendencies, psychologists point out that giving up on perfection doesn't mean being less successful. In fact, because mistakes are an important part of learning and growing, embracing imperfection can actually help us in the long run.8、Why does the author describe the scene in the first paragraph？A. To introduce the topic.B. To make comparisons.C. To support the author's argument.D. To define a concept.9、Who can be defined as a perfectionist？A. A person who is determined to achieve high goals.B. A person who tends to feel sorry for what he has done.C. A person who blames himself for not being that successful.D. A person who holds high standards for themselves.10、How can perfectionism be harmful？A. It may lower one's mental health.B. It reflects one's psychological level.C. It results in depression immediately.D. It stops one from recovering from depression.11、What will be discussed in the following paragraph？A. A call for not being a perfectionist.B. Another side-effect of perfectionism.C. Why perfectionism is harmful.D. How to avoid perfectionism.Some issues like climate change or the ongoing pandemic(大流行病)are increasingly complex and dynamic. Yet solving problems like these requires new approaches that extend beyond traditional ways of thinking. A study led by Yale Professor of Psychology, Paul O'Keefe, found that having a growth mindset(思维模式) of interest may activate this type of innovation.Professor O'Keefe established in earlier studies that people hold different beliefs about the nature of interest. Those with a growth mindset of interest tend to believe that interests can be developed and cultivated, while those with a fixed mindset of interest tend to believe that interests are inborn and simply need to be “found”.For example, in one task, research participants were instructed to create new college majors by combining two or more existing academic Arts or Science programs at theiruniversity. After coding and analyzing the ideas they generated, the team found that peoplesciences to create new majors like computational economics rather than creating majors that drew from only one of those areas, like computational chemistry.As Professor O'Keefe pointed out, “This research provides a useful direction for organizations whose products and services call for creative solutions. Take smartphones for example. You need not only computer science and engineering knowledge, but also an understanding of psychology and visual design to create a better product. Employees with a growth mindset may be more likely to frame innovative ideas that bridge multiple areas of knowledge to achieve better solutions.”The benefits of a growth mindset of interest may also extend to those seeking employment. This is a pressing issue because many people are becoming unemployed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Having a growth mindset of interest can help job seekers expand their interests and become more adaptable to different fields, and tend to learn new skills.12、What's the author's opinion about the world today？A. It is witnessing various types of innovations.B. It is undergoing great and profound changes.C. It faces more varied and complicated problems.D. It has removed many traditional ways of thinking.13、What can best replace the underlined the word “bridge”？A. Study.B. Plan.C. Choose.D. Connect.14、What does the author want to illustrate with the example of smartphones？A. Hi-tech products can boost people's general thinking.B. Hi-tech products are needed in multi-subject research.C. Improved technology gives birth to highly popular products.D. Making innovative products needs knowledge of many fields.15、What is the author's suggestion to those who are seeking employment？A. Learning practical skills.B. Broadening their interests.C. Staying safe in the pandemic.D. Knowing their pressing issues.二、七选五16、根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

(1) Once people could control the production of food and be assured of a reliable annual supple of it, their lives changed completely.Fanning was a revolutionary discovery. (2) With more food available, more people could be fed. Populations therefore increased. The growing number of people available for more kinds of work led to the development of more complex social structures. (3)Farming the world over has always relied upon a dependable water supply. For the earliest societies this meant rivers and streams orregular rainfall. (4) Later communities were able to develop by taking advantage of the rainy seasons.All of the ancient civilizations probably developed in much the same way, in spite of regional and climatic differences. (5) Heavier pottery replaced animal-skin gourds as containers for food and liquids. Cloth could be woven from wool and flax. Permanent structures made of wood, brick, and stone could be erected.The science of mathematics was an early outgrowth of agriculture. People studied the movements of the moon, the sun, and planets to calculate seasons. (6) With a calendar it was possible to calculate the arrival of each growing season. Measurement of land areas was necessary if property was to be a factor in farming and housekeeping. (7) All of the major ancient civilizations in Mesopotamia, Egypt, the Indus Valley, and China emerged in the 4th millennium BC. Historians still debate over which one emerged first. It may well have been the Middle East, in an area called the Fertile Crescent. This region stretches from the Nile River in Egypt northward along the coast of former Palestine, then eastward into Asia to include Mesopotamia. (8) This kind of larming depended on the reproduction of seed, normally from grain crops.A. It not only made settlements possible and ultimately the building of cities but it also made available a reliable food supply.B. Later came measures of value as commodity and money exchange became common.C. In this area people settled along the riverbanks and practiced field agriculture.D. After farming was developed in the Middle East in about 6500 BC, people living in tribes or family units did not have to be on the move continually searching for food or herding their animals.E. As villages grew, the accumulation of more numerous and substantial goods became possible.F. With a food surplus, a community could support a variety of workers who were not farmers.G. The first great civilizations grow up along rivers.H. In doing so they created the first calendars.Part 2Questions 9-18·Read the following passage and answer questions 9-18.1. When Christopher Columbus landed on America's shores, he encountered copper-shinned people whom he promptly called "Indians". Current estimates indicate that there were over a million Indians inhabiting North American then. There are approximately 800,000 Indians today, of whom about 250, 000 live on reservations.2. The early settlers had an amicable relationship with Indians, who shared their knowledge about hunting, fishing, and farming with theiruninvited guests. The stereotyped stealthy, wicked Indian of western movies are created by different faithless white man; the Indian was born friendly.3. Disgust developed between the Indians and the settlers, whose encroachment on Indian lands provoked an era of turbulence. As early as 1745, Indian tribes joined together to drive the French off their land. The French and Indian war did not end until 1763. The Indian had succeeded in destroying most of the settlements. The British, superficially submissive to the Indiana, promised that further migrations west would not extend beyond a specified boundary.4. Vacated from their lands or, worse still, frankly giving their property to the whites for few baubles, Indians were ruthlessly pushed west. The battle in 1876 at Little Horn river in Montana, in which setting Bull and the Sioux tribes massacred General Custer's cavalry, caused the whites intensify their campaign against the Redman. The battle at Wound Knee, South Dakota, in 1890 put an end to the last vestige of hope for amity between Indians and whites.5. Although the Bureau of lndian affairs has operated since 1842, presumably for the purpose of guarding Indians "interests", Indian on reservations lead notoriously deprived lives. In recent times Indians have taken a militant stand and appealed to the courts and the American people to improve their substandard living conditions.Questions 9-13·For questions 9-13, choose the best title for each paragraph from below.·For each numberedparagraph (1-5), mark one letter (A-G) on the Answer Sheet.·Do not mark any letter twice.9.

But 70 percent of the people who left in the past two years took jobs that paid less than $6 an hour. The result: The Athens country poverty rate still remains at more than 30 percent—twice the national average.For advocates for the poor, that's an indication that much more needs to be done."More people are getting jobs, but it's not making their lives any better," says Kathy Lairn, a policy analyst at the center in budget and policy priorities in Washington.Canter analysis of US census data nationwide found that between 1995 and 1996, a great percentage of single, fame-headed household were earning money on their own, but that average income for these households actually went down.But for many, the fact that poor people are able to support themselves almost as well without government aid as they did with it is in itself a huge victory."Welfare was a poison. It was a toxin that was poisoning the family,"says Rector, a welfare reform is changing the moral climate in low-income communities. It's beginning to rebuild the work ethic, which is much more important.Mr. Rector and others argued that once "the habit of dependency is cracked," then the country can make other policy changes aimed at improving living standards.19、 It can be seen from the passage that the author ______.A. is over-enthusiastic about the success of welfare reformB. insists that welfare reform is doing little good for the poorC. believes the reform has reduced the government's burdenD. considers welfare reform to be fundamentally successful20、 Why aren't people enjoying better lives when they have jobs?A. Because their wages are low.B. Because many families are divorced.C. Because the cost of living is rising.D. Because government aid is now rare.21、 What is worth noting form the example of Athens country is that ______.A. 60 percent of the population no longer relies on welfareB. 70 percent of the people there have been employed for two yearsC. the living standards of most people are going downD. great efforts should be madeto improve people's living standards22、 From the passage we know that welfare reform aims at ______.A. providing more jobsB. saving welfare fundsC. rebuilding the work ethicD. cutting government expenses23、 According to the passage, before the welfare reform was carried out, ______.A. the poor used to rely on government aidB. the poverty rate was lowerC. the average worker was paid higher wagesD. average living standards were higher24、 From the passage we can infer that before 1994 ______.A. most of the people depended on governmentB. most of the people took jobsC. we don't know as the passage didn't sayD. most of the people live a richer life25、 About the welfare reform the author's attitude is ______.A. indifferentB. positiveC. objectiveD. criticalPart 4Questions 26-45·Read the following passage and decide which answer bestfits each space.·For questions 26-45, mark one letter A, B, C or D on the Answer Sheet.The "standard of living" of any country means the (26) person's share of the goods and services which the country produces. A country's standard of living, therefore depends (27) and foremost on its capacity to produce wealth. "Wealth" in this (28) is not money, for we do not live on money (29) on things that money can buy: "goods" such as food and clothing, and "services" such as (30) and "entertainment".A country's capacity to produce wealth depends upon many factors, most of which have an effect (31) one another. Wealth depends (32) a great extent upon a country's natural resources. Some regions of the world are well supplied with coal and minerals, and have a (33) soil and a favorable climate; other regions (34) none of them.Next to natural resources (35) the ability to turn them to use. China is perhaps as well off as the USA in natural resources, but suffered for many years from (36) and external wars, and for this and other reasons was incapable (37) her resources. Sound and (38)political conditions, and freedom from foreign invasion, enable a country to develop its natural resources peacefully and steadily, and to produce more wealth than another country (39) well served by nature but less well ordered.A country's standard of living does not only depend upon the wealth that is produced and (40) within its own borders, but also upon what is indirectly produced through international trade. For example,Britain's wealth in foodstuffs and other agricultural products would be much (41) if she had to depend only on those grown at home. Trade makesit possible for her surplus manufactured goods to be traded abroad for the agricultural products that would (42) be lacking.

You can however meet with them on Friday; by that time the exams will be over. Afternoon classes were also cancelled because we're giving the Listening Exam during that part of the day.10、 F[听力原文]We would like to remind instructors that student attendance constitutes 10% of the final grade. Please keep informing your students also about this. Stress the fact that since they're language learners, it's important for them to come to class as frequently as possible. Otherwise we cannot be held responsible for any negative results of our teaching on them. Please take attendance every morning and don't hesitate to mark them absent in case they're still not in class by the time you've finished calling out their names. This way you don't waste time with the attendance ritual every morning.11、[听力原文]I'd like to just remind you that you are welcome to drop bymy office and have a look at the final exams that have been prepared. The exams will be given the week of Jan. 5-9 as earlier planned. We will inform the listening instructors next week whether their exams will be given in their individual classrooms or in other rooms.12、 B[听力原文]Apparently some of the reading teachers are not sufficiently explaining vocabulary and grammar matters to their students, and only read out the answers found in the answer keys of their textbooks. Students are obviously unhappy about this situation. My recommendation is that you attempt to make clear to the students how you are conducting your class, and what exactly it is that you're doing. Perhaps it would be helpful if you were to also frequently answer/discuss/explain the answers of the exercises you're specifically dealing with, and not just simply read the answer key to them.13、 C[听力原文]I would like you to take these complaints seriously. Some of them are obviously severe than others, but they all merit our attendance. Please attempt to modify or change your teaching styles and habits if you feel the complaints concern you. Do not hesitate to drop by my office in case you would like to have any further information about the above mentioned student statements of discontent.Part 314、B[听力原文] 15-23Who First Started to Smoke?Long ago, no one in Europe smoked. The tobacco plant was unknown there. It grew in America and Christopher Columbus found it there. Later he returned to Europe and told people about tobacco. He said that the American Indians often smoked it.One way of smoking was like this. The American Indians threw some tobacco leaves on a fire. Then they put long tubes in their mouths. The other ends of the tubes were over the fire, so they were able to draw the smoke into their mouths.About the year 1560 a Frenchman, Jean Nicot, was living in Lisbon, Portugal. He was very interested in all American plants. Some of them were very different from the plants of Europe. He used the leaves of the tobacco plant to cure pain. When a man had a bad pain in a leg or an arm, Nicot put tobacco leaves on the painful place and tried to cure the pain in that way. We now say that tobacco contains nicotine. The word nicotine comes from this man's name.Sir Walter Raleigh was a famous man in the days of Queen Elizabeth theFirst. He traveled widely and learnt to smoke. Then he returned to England, but he didn't stop smoking. He used to smoke two pipes every day secretly in his room. When anyone came in, he quickly hid his pipe. A man came in and found clouds of smoke in his room. More smoke was coming from Raleigh's mouth, so the man got some water and threw it over Raleigh. He believed that Raleigh was burning, He ran out of the house and toldeverybody about it. After this, smoking was not a secret. Raleigh had a sad life and died in 1618. He died bravely and quietly. He smoked a pipe just before his death.15、A 16、B 17、C 18、C 19、B 20、A 21、C 22、A 23、CPart 424、B[听力原文] 24－30America Weighs InAmericans enjoy the most abundant and varied diet in the world. Food is cheap, plentiful, and tasty. All those readily available nutrients should make us a strong, healthy people. But for an increasing share of U.S. adults, life in the land of plenty is making them plenty fat. The percent of adults aged 20 to 74 who are obese based on their body mass index increased from 24 percent in the 1960s to 33 percent in 1988-9t. By 1994, the share of all adults aged 20 and older who are overweight climbed further, to 35 percent. Applying that rate to the adult population yields a total of 65 million U.S. adults aged 20 or older who were overweight in 1988-94. We don't get to blame the aging population, either. Overweight has become more prevalent among all age groups, not just the elderly.Children and adolescents are following the example of their elders. The share of children aged 6 to 11 who are overweight increased from 11 percent in the late 1970s to 14 percent in 1994. For children aged 12 to 17, the share doubled to 12 percent in 1994.Overweight people create markets for large-sized clothing and weight-loss products and services. But Americans seem to be losing interest in weight-loss diets. One market that is certain to benefit from this trend is health care. The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) says that overweight and obese adults are at increased risk for numerous acute and chronic conditions, ranging from high blood pressure to diabetes to arthritis．Most doctors believe that a wide range of chronic ai lments can be prevented or mitigated by maintaining easonable body weight．Former Surgeon General C．Everett Koop recently said that if he had stayed in office longer,“1 would have launched the same assault On obesity that I did on smoking．”25、B 26、A 27、C 28、A 29、B 30、CReading1、[解析] 文章第1句提出，使人类定居下来的决定性因素是农业。
