On August 26, 1999, New York City was struck by a terrible rainstorm. The rain caused the streets to and the subway system almost came to a stop.Unfortunately, this happened during the morning rush hour. Many people who were going to work were to go home.

I went from subwayline to subway line only to find that most had stopped. After making my way crowds of people, I finally found a subway line that was . Unfortunately, there were so many people waiting to the subway that I could not even get down the stairsto the . So I took the train going in the opposite direction, and then switchback to the downtown train. Finally, after what seemed like forever, the train my stop. Then I had to walk several blocks in the increasingly heavy rain. When I finally got to my office, I was through, exhausted and .My co-workers and I spent most of the day drying off. When it was 5:00 pm, Iwas ready to go home.

It really is that simple. Eurostat figures show that 66 per cent of mothers in the UK work, less than France (72 per cent), Denmark (86 per cent), the Netherlands (78 per cent) or Germany (69 per cent). This not only damages Britain’s economic prosperity—it limits women’s careers and squeezes family incomes. It would be fine if this is the choice parents want to make, but it isn’t. Half of those surveyed want to go to work and the expense of childcare is one of the key reasons they c ouldn’t.Despite claims made by Labour (工党) about childcare, a forthcoming (即将到来的) report by the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) confirms the true legacy of their time in government. They left behind a childcare system with high costs to parents, variable quality and patchy (不均匀的) coverage, despite soaring government spending. British parents now face the highest childcare bills in the world after Switzerland.In the Eighties and Nineties under Mrs Thatcher and John Major, the picture was very different. Mothers in England were more likely to go out to work than their Dutch or German counterparts. But the position has reversed, despite a huge rise in public spending.So why does the British Government spend more on childcare than France or Germany, even though the costs given to parents are sky-high? As always, under the previous government, money was frittered away (浪费) without adequate focus on improving quality. Instead of clear and transparent funding, four separate funding streams were created, skewing (偏离) the market and confusing parents and providers alike. The majority of the money was given away in cash benefits; so much of it did not get through to the front line.The IPPR report points out that continental systems, in countries such as Germany, France, Denmark and the Netherlands, manage to deliver better value for money. What all of these systems have in common is a focus on quality, with greater flexibility and autonomy given to local providers. They also see a much higher proportion of government money getting to the front line.21．Which of the following doesn’t belong to the disadvantages caused by the mothers prevented from going to work?A. Damaging Britain’s economic development.B. Causing damage to women’s car eers.C. Decreasing the family incomes.D. Causing childcare costs to go up.22．According to the second paragraph, we can infer that the former government of the Labour Party _______.A. was highly praised by British peopleB. made British people face the highest childcare billsC. left behind a childcare system full of problemsD. managed to decrease the government spending23．We can learn from the passage that _______.A. in the Eighties and Nineties, mothers in the UK were likely to workB. there is a prejudice against mothers in the UK employment marketC. most of the mothers surveyed in the UK don’t want to workD. the percentage of mothers who work in the UK is the lowest in the worldI was waiting for a phone call from my agent. He had left a message the night before, telling me that my show was to be cancelled. I called him several times, but each time his secretary told me that he was in a meeting and that he would call me later. So I waited, but there was still no call. Three hours passing by, I became more and more impatient. I was certain that my agent didn’t care about my work, and he didn’t care about me. I was overcome with that thought. I started to shout at the phone, “Let me wait, will you? Who do you think you are?”At that time I didn’t re alize my wife was looking on. Without showing her surprise, she rushed in, seized the phone, tore off the wires, and shouted at the phone, “Yeah! Who do you think you are? Bad telephone! Bad telephone!” And she swept it into the wastebasket.I stood watchi ng her, speechless. What on earth…?She stepped to the doorway and shouted at the rest of the house, “Now hear this! All objects in this room –if you do anything to upset my husband, out you go!” Then she turned to me, kissed me and said calmly, “Honey, y ou just have to learn how to take control.” With that, she left the room.After watching a crazy woman rushing in and out, shouting at everything in sight, I noticed that something in my mood(情绪) had changed. I was laughing. How would I have trouble with that phone? Her antics helped me realize I had been driven crazy by small things. Twenty minutes later my agent did call. I was able to listen to him and talk to him calmly.24．Why did the author shout at the telephone?A. He was mad at the telephone.B. He was angry with his agent.C. He was anxious about his wifeD. He was impatient with the secretary.25．What did the author’s wife do after she heard his shouting?A. She said nothingB. She shouted at him.C. She called the agentD. She threw the phone away26．What made the author laugh?A. His own behavior.B. His wife’s suggestionC. His changeable feelingsD. His wife’s sweet kiss.27．What does the underlined word “antics” refer to?A. Smart wordsB. Unusual actionsC. Surprising LooksD. Anxious feelingsTalking plants might sound like characters in a fairy tale. But recent scientific studies have shown that plants communicate with each other and with other living things in a surprising number of ways. To understand them, scientists say, we just have to learn their language. Farmers are especially interested in what plants have to say.“Plants are able to communicate with all sorts of organisms (有机体). They can communicate with giant bacteria, with other plants and with insects. They do this chemically，” said Cahill, an Ecology Professor of the University of Alberta in Canada.Plant scientists are just beginning to understand this chemical “language”. Cahill says studies have shown, for example, that plants can evaluate (评估) conditions in their immediate environment and take appropriate actions. Plants have an ability, for example, to signal pain or discomfort caused by anything from temperature extremes to an insect attack. Jack Schultz, a professor of chemical ecology at the University of Missouri, says when a plant senses that it's being eaten, it cannot walk away from trouble; on the contrary, it will release a chemical vapor(蒸汽) that alerts other plants nearby.“Their language is a chemical language, and it involves chemicals that move through the air that are easy to be changeable, and most of all are smells that we are familiar with，” Schultz explained.“All plants responded to the attack by changing their chemistry to defend themselves，” Schultz recalled. “But we were quite surprised to find that nearby plants also changed their chemistry to defend themselves, even though they were not part of the experiment.”Studies have also shown that plants under attack release pleasant chemicals. Those chemicals attract friendly insects that attack the pests eating the plant.In the end, plants' ability to communicate their needs—and our ability to understand them—could help farmers reduce the use of poisonous chemicals, cut operating costs and limit damage to the environment.28．The recent scientific studies have shown that plants can ______.A．communicate with other living things in a chemical wayB．hardly react to any sudden change in temperatureC．use a very special chemica1 language which is familiar to usD．respond to the attack by giving off poisonous chemicals29．When being eaten by an insect, the plant will ________.A．walk away from troubleB．change its chemistry to kill the insectC．release a chemical vapor to “ask” other plants for helpD．give off nice chemicals to attract friendly insects killing the pest30．The underlined word “alert” most probably means “______”．A．warn B．protectC．threaten D．allow31．Which would be the best title for the passage?A．Communication between PlantsB．A Chemical “Language”C．Plants Can TalkD．How Plants Protect Themselves阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A 、B 、C 和 D ）中，选出最佳选项，并在题卡上将该项涂黑。

Square dance becomes more popular than anyt ime before. However, it’s a little different from the dance you are familiar with. In the morning or after dinner, people,especially elderly women, will gather in squares to dance to popular music. More and more young people are also joining in now.There are many reasons behind its popularity. First of all, China has made grea t progress in its social and economical development in the past decades, and people have more time and energy to enjoy themselves. Besides, doing the square dance is a good way for people to get fit.However, because dance rs play loud music and occupy lots of public places, they annoy many people. Maybe square dancers need to make some changes.Yours,Li Hua附：听力原文Text 1W: This is the best dinner I’ve ever had.M: How about the soup then?W: I’ve never tasted anything better.Text 2M: Mum, have you seen my school bag?W: It’s hanging up here, with the coats.

Square dance becomes more popular than anyt ime before. However, it’s a little different from the dance you are familiar with. In the morning or after dinner, people, especially elderly women, will gather in squares to dance to popular music. More and more young people are also joining in now.There are many reasons behind its popularity. First of all, China has made grea t progress in its social and economical development in the past decades, and people have more time and energy to enjoy themselves. Besides, doing the square dance is a good way for people to get fit.However, because dance rs play loud music and occupy lots of public places, they annoy many people. Maybe square dancers need to make some changes.Yours,Li Hua附：听力原文Text 1W: This is the best dinner I’ve ever had.M: How about the soup then?W: I’ve never tasted anything better.Text 2M: Mum, have you seen my school bag?W: It’s hanging up here, with the coats.

Bye!Text 10W: Welcome everybody to our city. I hope you’re having a good time here. Our tours usually last about one hour.The bus is now turning into Queens Road. From this road we can see a very modern building. Th is is t he town’s new s ports stadium. All the big matches happen there but at the moment, an international company is using it for a conference.Now look to your left. We’re now passing the City The atre. This building is one hundred years old. It’s very pretty,as you see, but it doesn’t have enough seats for big shows. We’ve got a new entertainment centre in Victoria Park. We don’t pass it on the bus, but you may be interested to know it’s got a cinema and a concert hall. Most people prefer it because it’s got air-conditioning. Now, on your right, is the High Street. This bus normally goes along the High Street into the Market Place. But at the moment some musicians are practicing for an outdoor concert there. We’re driving round a different route because the roads into the Market Place are closed. The market was an important local trade centre until about 1970. Farmers bought and sold their cows and sheep there. However, we don’t see animals in the city centre these days. The market area’s got some good shops. Why don’t you have a walk round there later on?。
