At the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos, Switzerland, he said, “China and (the) US will never have a trade war. Give Trump some time. He’s open-minded, and he’s listening.”The Chinese billionaire said he would do all he could to prevent trade relations between the countries from getting worse.Last week, Ma met with Trump at the Trump Tower in New York City. The Chinese billionaire is said to have discussed a plan to permit one million small US businesses to s ell goods on Alibaba’s online shopping platform.During the campaign and after winning the presidential election, Trump strongly criticized the Chinese government’s support for its businesses. He blamed unfair trade policies for taking away US jobs. And he said that China unfairly controls the exchange value of its currency, the yuan.Trump also has threatened to place import taxes on goods from China and other countries in response to their trade policies.According to the South China Morning Post, Ma said, “American international companies made millions and millions of dollars from globalization.” He added that the US should not blame the loss of jobs and companies on globalization.However, a new study by an American business group says many US businesses feel unwelcome in China. The companies say the cost of doing businesses in China is increasing. They add that rules and regulations are unclear or not enforced in a consistent way.The American Chamber of Commerce in China led the study, which looked at responses from 462 companies.William Zarit is chairman of the chamber. He says trade policies in China make it difficult for American companies. He says, “We feel that over the last few years that we’ve been taken advantages of to some extent, with our ope n market and the lack of open areas in the Chinese market.”Another major concern for US companies in China is fake products. Fake products are copies of the originals that cost businesses with the legal right to sell them millions of dollars each year.Ma defended Alibaba’s efforts to fight fake products on its shopping platform. He said his company is doing all it can to fight against the problem.“Fighting against fake products is a war against human greediness,” Ma said.I’m Mario Ritter.4. What can we infer from Ma’s comments on Trump in the second paragraph?A. Trump has a good personality.B. Trump would close some American companies in China because of the tough situation.C. Trump has a good relationship with Ma.D. Trump would change his idea on the trade policies.5. The text likely takes from the ____?A. economic magazineB. trade speechC. websiteD. global news6. What’s William Zarit’s attitude to trade policies in China?A. indifferentB. neutralC. objectiveD. doubtful7. About this passage, the most suitable title is ______.A. Chinese Billionaire Does Not See China-US Trade War.B. The American International Companies Removes Most Tariffs on Products TradedBetween the US and China.C. Group Says American Businesses in China Concerned.D. The War about Fighting against Fake Products.CA team of scientists found a new planet in space accidentally. Science could be changed by the discovery. “We hit the jackpot here,” said scientist Guillem Anglada-Escude about the discovery of the planet more or less like Earth that is orbiting Proxima Centauri(半人马座比邻星)，the star nearest to our solar system.What do we know about this exciting new “Earth”? Well, Proxima b,or“Earth II” as you could call it, is a little bigger than our Earth, and its revolution only takes 11 days. Also, since it is much closer to its red dwarf star than Earth to the Sun, the sky there is orange without any blue at all, creating a forever sunset effect. But there are a lot of questions about life forms that could live on this new planet. The discovery of the planet made the Chicago Tribune newspaper wonder if anyone had seen or heard of the US’s space postcards from its pio neer 11 spaceships, which were pictures of a man and a woman, along with diagrams of the solar system. If thereare aliens on Proxima b, they would have found images showing the incredible diversity of Earth.Aliens might also have heard the message from former US President Jimmy Carter: “This is a present from a small distant world… We are attempting to survive our time so we may live into yours. We hope someday, having solved the problems we face, to join a community of galactic (银河的) civilizations. This record represents our hope and our determination, and our good will in a vast and awesome universe.”It might not be time to plan a visit to Proxima b just yet --- even if it has an atmosphere. At first, we would need to invent a way to get there in less than 78,000 years it would take at 36,000 mph (about 57,900km/h).8. Which has the similar meaning to the underlined phrase “hit the jackpot” in the 1st paragraph?A. Make a betB. take a riskC. Succeed by chanceD. Make a fortune.9. What does the author say about Proxima b?A. It has shorter period of revolution.B. It is of the similar weight to EarthC. It is a newly-found planet in the solar system.D. Its sky looks orange for being closer to the Sun.10. What can we learn from President Jimmy Carter’s words?A. Human’s eagerness to meet creatures from outer space.B. The great progress made in space exploration.C. The best wishes for America’s space program.D. Humans’ determination to explore outer space.11. What seems to be the most difficult for our visit to Proxima b?A. The lack of air on the planet.B. too great a distance from us.C. Uncertainty about life forms there.D. The glaring sunlight all years.DI was on my way home from work, cutting through the Bryant Park. On that day, the sun seemed to set faster than usual, and suddenly I found myself walking in the dark.I was less than half a mile from my apartment, but the path would lead me over a bridge, across train tracks, and through an unlit underpass.Then I heard him --- a stranger running alongside me, partly obscured(遮掩) by the bushes. My mouth went dry; my legs felt like water. But I didn’t pick up my pace --- instead, I stopped, turned, and faced him. He came out of the bushes and said he’d been watching me “for a long time”.As he walked beside me, I guided us towards the edge of the park. When we reached the bridge, a train rumbled(轰鸣着缓慢行进) past, and he seized the moment, attacking me with a knife around my throat. The self-defense skills I had learned years before kicked in, and I pushed my finger into his eye, hard. And then came the shock: That didn’t frighten him away. My mind flashed back to a tip from an old guitar teacher:” Press the strings like you’re squeezing a flea (a very small jumping insect).” I put all my strength into that finger, and finally he let go.I was shaking with fear, but I looked him straight in the eye and began to back away. I turned to run the hell out of there, but then I remembered another self-defense lesson: Never run, because then you’re a target. So I walked away –alone –through the dark tunnel as I dialed 911 with trembling fingers. If you ever find yourself in this situation, use these self-defense skills that you already know. They can really make all the difference to you.12. Which of the following word best describes the author’s way home?A. Boring.B. Risky.C. Well-traveledD. Well-protected13. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 suggest?A. The author was desperate to go home.B. The author was exhausted and thirsty.C. The author was in a state of fear.D. The author broke out in a sweat.14. Which statement may the author agree with?A. The man is a casual acquaintance of her.B. She was guarded home by the police finally.C. The man injured his eye himself when making an attack.D. She might feel grateful for her self-defense skills.15. What is the best title for the passage?A. How I survived an attackB. Whether fortune smiles on meC. What one should do when in dangerD. Why self-defense skills are important第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）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。

AMy husband and I had just opened up a pet sitting business earlier that year. Our customers had slowly risen from three to thirty a month. We were busy through those hot summer months, driving between visits. Our services were strictly held at the pet owner’s home. It was almost too busy for the two of us, but we were making good money!We asked pet owners new to our services to phone two weeks ahead so we had enough time to meet the owners and pets at their homes and make any following meetings before the owner leaves.One day, we decided to take on a new customer just two days before they would leave. We met the family, filled in a form, and spent some time with their dog, Hercules. He playfully jumped on us and touched our hands and arms using his tongue. The family laughed as he did this, showing us that he was very loving.Two days later I appeared at the house, alone. I came up to Hercules and said hello happily. I filled up his water bowl and cleaned any messes he made. Meanwhile, he was so lovely sitting beside. I thought this would be the good picture to send to the owners, a usual service. After the light and “click” sound went off, Hercules rushed at me. I didn’t know what had just happened until I noticed the drops of blood. I ran out and did the only thing — calling my husband.Then I went to neighbors for help. My husband arrived after ten minutes. The helpful neighbor and my husband led Hercules back into his pen (圈). Then my husband and I took off to the hospital.I must have looked like I was shot when I walked into the hospital. The nurses quickly moved me to a room.

We can learn from the text that _________.A. sports writers are a type of audienceB. book reviews may affect book salesC. Denise Grady will discuss political policyD. The New York Times is popularC“Plants were expected to get larger with increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, but changes in temperature, humidity and nutrient availability seem to have trumped the benefits o f increased carbon dioxide,” said researchers from the National University of Singapore．45 percent of the species studied now reach smaller adult sizes than they did in the past. The researchers pointed out that warmer temperatures and changing habitats, caused by climate change, are possible reasons for shrinking creatures．“ We do not yet know the mechanisms involved, or why some organism are getting smaller while others are unaffected,” the researchers said．“Until we understand more, we could be risking negative consequences that we can' t yet quantify．”The change was big in cold - blooded animals．Only two decades of warmer temperatures were enough to make reptiles (爬行动物) smaller. An increase of 1 degree centigrade caused nearly a 10 percent increase in metabolism(新陈代谢). Greater use of energy resulted in tiny tortoises and little lizards. Fish are smaller now too. Though overfishing has played a part in reducing numbers, experiments show that warmer temperatures also stop fish growth. There is a recent report on warmer temperatures' negative effects on plankton(浮游生物), the base of the marine ecosystem．Warm - blooded animals weren't immune from the size change caused by climate change．Many birds are now smaller. Mammals have been miniaturized too. Soay sheep are thinner. Red deer are weaker．And polar bears are smaller, compared with historical records．This is not the first time this has happened in Earth' s history．55 million years ago, a warming event similar to the current climate change caused bees, spiders and ants to shrink by 50 to 75 percent over several thousand years．That event happened over a long time than the current climate change．The speed of modem climate change could mean organisms may not respond or adapt quickly enough, especially those with long generation times．So, it is likely that more negative influences of climate change will be shown in future．8. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Why do some species become smaller?B. How does temperature change in Earth' s history?C. Climate change has many negative effects．D. Species become smaller as climate warms．9. The underlined word "trumped" in the first paragraph can be replaced by _________．A. beatenB. increasedC. strengthenedD. equaled10. Researchers from the National University of Singapore believe that _________．A. too many studies on animals' size have been done.B. all the animals on the earth have become smaller.C. how climate change effects animals' size has not been found clearly.D. climate change has more negative effects on warm-blooded animals.11. What can we learn from the passage?A. Bird have suffered more from climate change than fish．B. Climate change have even affected plankton negatively．C. Cold-blooded animals become smaller because of the lack of food.D. The warming event has never happened in Earth' s history before.DSeven years of careful design and planning all came together on Monday, when James Cameron became the first human to make a solo trip to the deepest known point on earth - the Challenger Deep! More importantly though, he appeared safely seven hours later, completing with exciting-photos and videos from this dark mysterious world that has been visited by only two humans before!Seated inside a specially built 12-ton green submersible (潜水器) called the Deep Sea Challenger, the brilliant filmmaker caught every moment of his 2-hour-36-minute journey down to the bottom of the Mariana Trench on video —given that it is 120 times larger than the Grand Canyon and a mile deeper than Mount Everest.Absolutely nothing! There were no large alien creatures or mysterious footprints —just a flat desolate (荒凉的) landscape, 50 times larger than the Grand Canyon. Mr. Cameron describes it as "devoid (缺乏) of sunlight, any heat, any warmth". The only things swimming around, were some tiny shrimp-like (虾状的) creatures no bigger than an inch.While the 57-year-old had expected to spend six hours at the bottom, he was forced to return in three hours, because the robotic arm that was supposed to help him collect samples went wrong and began leaking oil. He also lost some thrusters (推进器) and a whole starboard side, causing the submersible to spin around in circles.However, these small setbacks did not make the whole trip any less exciting for Mr. Cameron. The director, who returned to the surface in a speedy seventy minutes, believes this is just one of many trips he and other adventurers will be taking. In fact, Sir Richard Branson, the founder of the Virgin Group, is currently in the midst of planning a similar trip to the Puerto Rico Trench that lies five miles below the surface of the water. Though Mr. Cameron’s is promising to move his historic trip into an exciting 3-D National Geographic documentary, he is tight-lipped about how the experience will be used in his next movie! We cannot wait to see!12. According to Paragraph one，we can know that _________.A. Cameron is the first man to the deepest known point on earthB. the trip had been well prepared in the past few yearsC. the trip lasted for about nine and a half hoursD. the pictures Cameron took are dark13. On the bottom of Challenger Deep, _________.A. there are some mysterious footprintsB. the landscape is not very largeC. there are manyfishD. it is dark and cold14. Why did Mr. Cameron return earlier than planned?A. Because he finished all his tasks.B. Because he couldn't stand the environment.C. Because there was something wrong with his submersible.D. Because he was eager to show his photos and videos to others.15.

C．Forgiveness is also a kind of love.D．Fathers shouldn’t leave their families.Women have jumped ahead of men for the first time in using the Internet to do their holiday shopping,according to a study published last week in the US.For years men have been more likely to shop on the Internet than women,but during the 2011 holiday season 58 percent of those making online purchases （购买）were women.“It shows how mainstream the Internet is becoming”,said LeeRainie,director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project group,which carried out the study.Rainie said it was only a matter of time before women shoppers caught up with men.This is because women traditionally make decisions about spending.Users were more likely to shop online to save time.Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 were responsible for some of the most dramatic increases in the online gift-buying population this time around.However,three-quarters of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2011.They worried about credit card security（安全）,or just compared online prices with off-line prices,then dashed off to t he shops to get the best deals.“But even if shoppers don’t buy online,websites are becoming promotion tools for stores,”said Dan Hess,vice president of Comscore Networks Inc.Hess said that actually most stores’ websites can make customers fully believe the security of their credit card numbers.And most are able to ensure that gifts arrive on time.“It’s all about making the shopping experience more efficient,more reliable and more comfortable.”Hess said.5．Which of the following statements is true?A．More women shopped online than men during 2011 holiday season. B．There were fewer women online shoppers than men during 2 011 holiday season. C．Most of the Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 are women.D．People in the US were more likely to buy gifts online.6．From the passage we can infer that________.A．men usually decide how to spend money in the familyB．women usually decide what to buy in the familyC．the Internet is used in all the shops.D．more and more shops will sell their goods online.7．According to Dan Hess,shopping online is ________.A．unsafe B．convenientC．a waste of time D．cheaper8．What can we know from the passage?A．American people only buy gifts in holidays.B．Shopping online is fun for women.C．Shopping off-line provides better service.D．Young people like to do gift-shopping online.Music is often thought of as “easy” or “play time”,but it's not that at all.Music plays a very important part in our education.Students who learn music learn a lot of music history at school.This includes “modes（调式）”,which were used in churches during the development of music.They are still used today.Students learn about the historical events that were taking place when the music they play was written.They learn what the music was used for.So much of our culture is in music and has been for centuries.Music also helps with science.Students use science to help them discover what sounds good together and what doesn't.Students also need science to understand something called the “overtone series”,which is about how m usic is produced by vibration（颤动）and why.Students learn a lot about languages.Many songs are written in other languages,including ancient ones.Students must learn to translate these works to understand what they are singing about.Some songs are famous poems or short works set to music.Students learn a huge amount of coordination（协调）through music,so parts of the body can work better together.Students must use fine motor skills in order to play an instrument.Singers and players must learn breath control and be in good shape to play.Students learn about art.Some famous pieces were written about important works of art,and students learn about the artists and styles as they're playing the music.Music education also brings higher thinking to our children.It allows them to think about complex patterns (How can I make my part sound better?How do this music and these different parts fit together?).Students have to know absolutely what every other musician does at all times.In that way,it develops teamwork.As one can see,music is very important to education besides bringing us fun.9．Learning music is helpful to the following subjects EXCEPT________. A．science B．languageC．politics D．history10．Students who learn music have to translate songs________.A．because they are learning the languageB．because they must understand what they are singing aboutC．because the songs are ancient onesD．because they are famous poems11．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A．Modes are still used in modern music.B．Different kinds of music show different cultures.C．It's easier for athletes to learn to play an instrument.D．A good musician should know the importance of teamwork.12．What is the main idea of the passage?A．The importance of music.B．The importance of music education.C．Ways to learn music well.D．Skills music students should have.Perhaps you have heard a lot about the Internet,but what is it,do you know?The Internet is a network.It uses the telephone to join millions of computers together around the world.Maybe that doesn’t sound very interesting.But when you’ve joined to the Internet,there are lots and lots of things you can do.You can do with all kindsof information on the World Wide Web (WWW).You can use QQ to chat with your friends,and they will make responses in a few seconds.You can send E-mails to your friends,and they can get them in a few seconds.You can also go shopping by the Internet without going out.There are many different kinds of computers now.They all can be joined to th e Internet.Most of them are small machines sitting on people’s desks at home,but there are still many others in schools,offices or large companies. These computers are owned by people and companies,but no one really owns the Internet itself.There are lots of places for you to go into the Internet.For example,your school may have the Internet.You can use it during lessons or free time.Libraries often have computers joined to the Internet.You are welcome to use it at your spare time.Thanks to the Internet,the world is becoming smaller and smaller.It is possible for you to work at home with a computer in front,getting and sending the information you need.It is also possible for you to discuss some projects or assign the work on the Internet instead of at a meeting.In addition,you can buy or sell whatever you want by the Internet.But do you know 98% of the information on the Internet is in English?So what will English be like tomorrow? 13．What is the passage mainly about?A．Internet.B．Information.C．Computers.D．E-mails.14．Who is the owner of the Internet?A．The headmaster.B．The officer.C．The manager.D．No one.15．Which may be the most possible place for people to work in the future? A．In the office.B．At school.C．At home.D．In the company.二、未知Tips for cooking on a Tight ScheduleFrom my experience, there are three main reasons why people don’t cook more often:ability, money and time.16．. Money is a topic I’ll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule:1.Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I’m already hungry and there is nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials（材料） ready?17．2.Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread?18．It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.3.19．This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation(实验). It gives you the chance to come up with new ideas andrecipes（食谱） that can work well with your appetite（食欲） and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.Hopefully that gives you a good start. 20．And don’t let a busy sch edule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!A．Try new things.B．Make three or four instead.C．Ability is easily improved.D．Understand your food better.E. Cooking is a burden for many people.F. A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.G. Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.三、完形填空Mr Johnson worked in an office.He was short and fat and he looked like a forty-year-old man21 he was no more than thirty-five.He22 three thousand dollars a month and had his own house and car.But he was very miserly （吝啬的）and had23 friends.He took good care of nobody but24 .He was introduced to several girls,but he never bought any25 for them and no girl liked a man like him.So he had to26 alone in the beautiful house.He was always sad of it and didn’t know the27 .One Sunday morning Mr Johnson felt lonely28 and went out for a walk near a park.It was a fine day.The sun was29 and the birds were singing in the tree.Beautiful30 and green grass could be seen everywhere.He31 his sadness and walked on.Suddenly he heard someone was calling32 .He turned round and saw a pretty girl with a pair of glasses33 to catch up with him.He felt strange34 he didn’t know her at all.But he stopped to 35 her.“Don’t you remember me,sir?”asked the girl.“I36 you last December!”“I am sorry,madam.”said Mr Johnson.”but.........”“I’m37 you are one of my children’s fathers,”the girlsaid.Suddenly she found she didn’t know the man at all and her38 turned red and hurried off.39 her disappearing figure（身影）,Mr Johnson could not understand40 it meant.Of course,he didn’t know she was a teacher.21．A．if B．whether C．though D．when22．A．paid B．was paid C．borrowed D．was lent23．A．few B．a few C．many D．plenty of24．A．he B．him C．his D．himself25．A．tickets B．presents C．Beancurd D．firewood26．A．live B．play C．work D．build27．A．excuse B．advice C．suggestion D．reason28．A．in the office B．at school C．at home D．in the restaurant 29．A．flying B．shining C．standing D．sitting30．A．stones B．trees C．flowers D．stones31．A．wrote B．read C．remembered D．forgot32．A．behind B．front C．away D．over there33．A．resting B．trying C．planning D．asking34．A．while B．until C．unless D．because35．A．wait for B．help C．discover D．discuss with 36．A．examined B．hurt C．visited D．invited37．A．afraid B．sure C．sad D．sorry38．A．head B．eyes C．noes D．face39．A．Looking at B．Drawing C．Beating D．Receiving 40．A．why B．when C．where D．what四、单词拼写41．The foreigners came to China in order to learn Chinese a________（农业的）skills.42．Mexico gained its i________（独立）from Spain in 1821.43．The new building destroy the b_______（美丽）of the countryside. 44．The students must a________（道歉）to their teacher for being late. 45．My father does not have much b_______（信任）in doctors of traditional Chinese medicine.46．The young girl is an e_______（精力充沛的）tennis player.47．The party was in c________（庆祝）of Mother´s silver wedding. 48．Rocks may hold some information about the o_______（起源）of the life on Earth.49．He has f_______（原谅）the wrongs I have done to him.50．Her eyes were full of s_______（悲伤）at the news of the Ya´an earthquake.五、短文改错51．下面短文中共有10处错误，错误涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。

第I卷第一部分：阅读理解第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）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。

AWhen your parents ad vise you to “get an education” in order to raise your income, they tell you only half the truth. What they really mean is to get just enough education to provide manpower（人力资源）for your society, but not so much that you prove an embarrassment to your society.Get a high school diploma, at least. Without that, you will be occupationally dead unless your name happens to be George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison, and you can successfully dropout in grade school.Get a college degree, if possible. With a B. A., you are on the launching pad. But now you have to start to put on the brakes. If you go for a master’s degree, make sure it is an M.B.A., and the famous law of diminishing(逐渐减少的) returns begins to take effect.Do you know, for instance, that long-haul truck drivers earn more per year than full professors? Yes, the average salary for those truckers was $24000 while the full professors managed to earn just $23030.A doctorate is the highest degree you can get. Except for a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes, if you pursue such a degree in any other field, you will face a future which is not bright. There are more doctors unemployed or underemployed in this country than any other part of the world.If you become a doctor in English or history or anthropology or political science or languages or—worst of all—in philosophy, you run the risk of becoming overeducated for our national demands. Not for our needs, mind you, but for our demands.Thousands of doctors are selling shoes, driving cars, waiting on table, and endlessly filling out applications month after month. They may also take a job in some high school or backwater(闭塞) college that pays much less than the doorkeeper earns.You can equate the level of income with the level of education only so far. Far enough, that is, to make you useful to the gross national product, but not so far that nobody can turn much of a profit on you.1. According to the writer, what the society expects of education is to turn out people who ______.A. will not be a disgrace to societyB. will become loyal citizensC. can take care of themselvesD. can meet the nation’s demand as a source of manpower2. Many doctors are out of job because ______.A. they are improperly educatedB. they are of little commercial value to their societyC. there are fewer jobs in high schoolsD. they prefer easier jobs that make more money3. Which of the following is NOT true?A. Bernard Shaw didn’t finish high school, nor did Edison.B. One must think carefully before pursuing a master’s degree.C. The higher your education level, the more money you will earn.D. If you are too well-educated, you’ll be overeducated for society’s demands.4. The writer sees education as ______.A. a means of providing job security and financial security and a means of meeting a country’s demandsfor technical workersB. a way to broaden one’s horizonsC. more important than finding a jobD. an opportunity that everyone should haveBMy heart sank when the man at the immigration counter gestured to the back room. I was born and raised in America, and this was Miami, where I live, but they weren’t quite ready to let me in yet.“Please wait in here, Ms. Abujaber,” the immigration officer said. My husband, with his very American last name, accompanied me. He was getting used to this. The same thing had happened recently in Canada when I’d flown to Montreal to speak at a book eve nt. That time they held me for 45 minutes. Today we were returning from a literary festival in Jamaica, and I was shocked that I was being sent “in back” once again.The officer behind the counter called me up and said, “Miss, your name looks like the na me of someone who’s on our wanted list. We’re going to have to check you out with Washington.”“How long will it take?”“Hard to say…a few minutes,” he said, “We’ll call you when we’re ready for you.” After an hour, Washington still hadn’t decided anyt hing about me.“Isn’t this computerized?” I asked at the counter, “Can’t you just look me up?”“Just a few more minutes,” they assured me.After an hour and a half, I pulled my cell phone out to call the friends I was supposed to meet thatevening. An officer rushed over. “No phones!” he said, “For all we know you could be calling a terrorist cell and giving them information.”“I’m just a university professor,” I said. My voice came out in a squeak.“Of course you are. And we take people like you out of here in leg irons every day.”I put my phone away.My husband and I were getting hungry and tired. Whole families had been brought into the waiting room, and the place was packed with excitable children, exhausted parents, and even a flight attendant.I wanted to scream, to jump on a chair and shout: “I’m an American citizen; a novelist; I probably teach English literature to your children.”After two hours in detention (扣押), I was approached by one of the officers. “You’re free to go,” he said. No explanation or apologies. For a moment, neither of us moved. We were still in shock. Then we leaped to our feet.“Oh, one more thing,” he handed me a tattered photocopy with an address on it, “If you aren’t happy with your treatment, you can write to this agency.”“Will they respond?” I asked.“I don’t know—I don’t know of anyone who’s ever written to them before.” Then he added,” By the way, this will probably keep happening each time you travel internationally.”“What can I do to keep it from happening again?”He smiled the empty smile we’d seen all day, “Absolutely nothing.”After telling several friends about our ordeal, probably the most frequent advice I’ve heard in response is to change my name. Twenty years ago, my own graduate school writing professor advised me to write under a pen name so that publishers wouldn’t stick me in what he called “the ethnic ghetto”—a separate, secondary shelf in the bookstore. But a name is an integral part of anyone’s personal and professional identity—just like the town you’re born in and the place where you’re raised.Like my father, I’ll keep the name, but my airport experience has given me a whole new perspective on what diversity and tolerance are supposed to mean. I had no idea that being an American would ever be this hard.5. The author was held at the airport because ______.A. she and her husband returned from JamaicaB. her name was similar to a terrorist’sC. she had been held in MontrealD. she had spoken at a book event6. She was not allowed to call her friends because ______.A. her identity hadn’t been confirmed yetB. she had been held for only one hour and a halfC. there were other families in the waiting roomD. she couldn’t use her own cell phone7. We learn from the passage that the author would ______ to prevent similar experience from happeningagain.A. write to the agencyB. change her nameC. avoid traveling abroadD. do nothing8. Her experiences indicate that there still exists ______ in the US.A. hatredB. discriminationC. toleranceD. diversityCA person, like a commodity, needs packaging. But going too far is absolutely undesirable. A little exaggeration(夸张) will do no harm when it shows the per son’s unique qualities to their advantages. To show personal attractiveness in a casual and natural way, it is important for one to have a clear knowledge of oneself. A skilled packager knows how to add art to nature without any signs of embellishment so that the person so packaged is not a commodity, but a human being, lively and lovely.A young person, especially a female, shining with beauty and full of life, has all the favor granted. Youth however, comes and goes in a flash. Packaging for the middle-aged is primarily to hide the marks made by years. If you still enjoy life enough to keep self-confidence and work at pioneering work, you are unique in your natural qualities, and your attractiveness and grace will remain. Elderly people are beautiful if their river of life has been, through plains, mountains and jungles, running its course as it should. You have really lived your life, which now arrives at a self - satisfied stage of quietness and calmness with no interest in fame or wealth. There is no need to make use of hair dyeing. The snow-capped mountain itself is a beautiful scene of fairyland. Let your looks change from young to old in step with the natural ageing process so as to keep in harmony with nature, for harmony itself is beauty, while the other way round will only end in unpleasantness. To be in the company of the elderly is like reading a thick book of good edition, which attracts one so much that one is unwilling to part with it. As long as one finds where one stands, one knows how to package oneself, just as a commodity sets up its brand by the right packaging.9.
