高职对口招生考试英语冲刺模拟试题(阅读理解)及答案【六】

高职对口招生考试英语冲刺模拟试题及答案阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2.5分，满分50分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

AEven if you are naturally shy, these three tricks will help you to quickly build a new social circle in any new city.1. Take picturesOne of the great things about taking pictures at an event or party is that it gives you an excuse to get in touch with the person later. Everybody loves seeing pictures of themselves, and it’s very easy after taking a picture to say “If you’d like I can email it to you”. This can be the see d that leads to new connections. The next time you hear about a fun event email your new contacts to let them know about it.2. Eat alone in publicYou might feel self-conscious eating by yourself but it has an important benefit: you are much easier to approach when you are alone. People may be afraid of interrupting you or being rude if you are in a conversation with someone else. Bring a book or newspaper to read (this will make you feel less self-conscious). Plus, having an interesting book with you will give others an excuse to start a conversation if they’ve read it.3. Join a class, sports team, or clubYoga, salsa dancing, volleyball, Toastmasters (a public speaking club), a class for work, etc. Take up a new hobby or continue an old one!These are all great places to meet new people, primarily because you will be forced to see the same people over and over again in the class. You will automatically make friends with them if you have a common interest and are forced to see each other again.Tips:* In the beginning, never turn down an invitation from someone, even if it’s something you wouldn’t normally do.* Email your new friends with fun things to do instead of always asking what their plans are. If they have a better plan you can drop yours and join them. This will help establish you as someone who is contributing value instead of just taking it (people want this in a friend).* Don’t let little things in life upset you or be a negative person. People don’t want to be around someone like that!36. ________ can give you an excuse to start new connections.A. Taking pictures of othersB. Eating by yourself in publicC. Reading interesting booksD. Joining group activities37. When having meals, you’d better ________ if you want to make new friends.A. approach others to show conscious friendlinessB. start a conversation with those who have friends asideC. invite others to your apartment to eat togetherD. sit on your own in public places38. According to the text, which of the following is NOT mentioned as an advantage of joining aclass?A. It helps you find out people who share a common interest with you.B. It helps you find out your interest and take up a new hobby.C. It offers an opportunity to meet the same people repeatedly.D. It is a good way to meet new people and make friends in a new city.39. Which of the following pieces of advice is a tip from the text?A. Try to be outgoing and talkative instead of being shy.B. Never turn down an invitation from your friends.C. Offer suggestions on how to spend time together.D. Always give a positive response to any request.40. By writing the text, the author intends to tell us ________.A. why you should change when you move to a new cityB. how you can make new friends in a new cityC. why you should make new friends in a new cityD. how you can keep in touch with strangersBWhen I was 13, my bedroom walls were covered with posters of the Monkees and Beatles. I wrote fan letters and daydreamed about meeting the objects of my affections. I begged my parents to attend every rock concert and watch every TV show featuring my favorite celebrities; my friends and I discussed for hours all the things we would say and do when we met our favourite movie stars and pop singers. I drove my mother crazy ! But after a few years, my obsession stars faded as I matured and gained the confidence to socialize with “real” boys.In the 35 years since I was a teenager, celebrity worship (崇拜) has increased among teens due to the explosion of television celebrity gossip shows, and instant access to celebrity news on the Internet. It’s no wonder that many teens are obsessed with stars when news programs are often filled with entertainment stories and the lives of celebrities.Celebrity worship syndrome (综合征) is now considered a personality disorder. While it is normal for teenagers to follow the lives of their favorite stars, parents should try to monitor everything their child finds interesting. Parents should take action if they suspect a teen is too obsessed with celebrities and showing little interest in school or withdrawing from the family. When teens talk a lot about celebrities and view them as just means of entertainment, this is considered normal celebrity worship. However, when a teenager is obsessed with a star and often expresses a desire to have a close personal relationship with a celebrity or feels they have a special connection to a star, this may be the time for concern. Recent studies have shown that teens who develop an unhealthy obsession with celebrities often suffer from low self confidence and depression. Teens who are overly obsessed with stars often have damaged relationships with their parents.41. The first paragraph is intended to tell us________.A. parents needn’t worry about celebrity worshipB. celebrity worship can cause serious problemsC. it’s normal for a teen to have celebrity worshipD. celebrity worship only exists among teens42. We can learn from the second paragraph that________.A. the media greatly contributes to celebrity worship todayB. the author is surprised at celebrity worshipC. teens today are not so obsessed with celebritiesD. celebrities expose their lives too much43. Parents should become concerned when their children________.A. talk a lot about celebrities with othersB. put up celebrity posters in their bedroomsC. ask to go to their favourite star’s concertD. desire a close personal relationship with their favorite star44. The last paragraph implies that________.A. parents should not care too much about a child’s celebrity worshipB. celebrity worship syndrome can be a serious problem if left overlookedC. children can normally get out of celebrity worship when they are olderD. children with celebrity worship usually have high opinion of themselves45. What is most likely to be talked about in the paragraph following the passage?A. The harm of celebrity worship syndrome.B. More signs of celebrity worship syndrome.C. Wh at to do with children’s celebrity worship syndrome.D. Who will suffer most from celebrity worship syndrome.CA 70-year study of personality suggests that pessimism is a risk factor for early death, especially among men.The study results also indicate that pessimism can be linked to increased risk for sudden death from accidents or violence, according to the report published in the March issue of Psychological Science.Christopher Peterson of the University of Michigan and his colleagues analyzed data from the Terman Life-Cycle Study, which began by studying California public-school children with high IQs in 1921 and followed them through their life. Most of the 1,528 children were teenagers when the study began. Those still living are now in their 80s. In 1936 and 1940, participants were asked to complete a questionnaire designed to obtain information about difficult life events and their effect on overall outlook. One such question was, “What do you regard as your most serious fault of personality or character?”Pessimists were defined as fatalistic(宿命论的)people who tend to blame themselves when things go wrong and who believe that one bad event can ruin the rest of their life. They also tend to expect bad things to happen to them and feel that they have little or no ability to change their situation.Males were more likely than females to be classified as pessimistic. Compared with individuals with a more cheerful and optimistic outlook, pessimists were more likely to die from accidents and violence (including suicide).A pessimistic personality may lead to poor problem-solving ability, social difficulties and risky decision-making. Taken together, these variables put the pessimist at higher risk of untimely(不适时的) death, say the researchers. Such a person is less likely to avoid or escape potentially dangerous situations, the researchers concluded. “A pessimistic way of thinking in which people worry too much about bad events, predicts untimely death decades later,” according to Peterson.46. According to the passage, you may be a pessimistic person, if one failure makes you feel________.A. other people have been unfair to you.B. other people will help you.C. you cannot change a bad situation.D. you can do better next time.47. According to the passage, pessimists may feel all of the following EXCEPT________A. helpless when faced with difficulties.B. cheerful when faced with troubles.C. hopeless when one bad event occurs.D. guilty when things go wrong.48. Which of the following statements is true, according to the passage?A. Pessimists believe that everything in life depends on fate.B. There are more pessimists among women than among men.C. Most pessimists will end up committing suicide.D. All pessimists will eventually die from accidents.49. The Terman Life-Cycle Study is a research program that studies________.A. people over 70 years old.B. people since their childhood.C. pessimistic people over 80 years old.D. only younger people.50. The analysis made by Christopher Peterson and his colleagues shows that pessimisticpeople________A. will die from violence if they learn to be optimistic.B. will more likely die from violence than optimistic people.C. will die from violence because their IQs are low.D. will die untimely if they are not able to learn to be cheerful and optimistic.DThe slogan “a dog is for life, not just for Christmas” has been going strong for 27 years now. Dogs and cats have been popular Christmas gifts in the gifts in the UK and Europe for many years. But some people still haven’t quite got the message.The slogan still holds good. Some 105,000 dogs were rounded up by local government last year because they had been abandoned, many of them shortly after the festival season.The main reason given by owners for handing their dogs over to the Dogs Trust is that the dogs need more attention than they can give; behavioral problems and moving home are also reasons given.But Eleanor Silk, the Trust’s communications director, says, “It’s often four or five months after Christmas, in early summer, when owners find that the dog has got too big and too active, or it hasn’t been trained properly and has caused damage around the home.”In any case, some organizations that help pets are quick to point out that if you are serious about getting a puppy(小狗) as a pet, Christmas is not the time to do it. Puppies need to get used to their new surroundings, to be introduced to a routine, and to be looked after like small children.I t’s hard to meet any of these needs at Christmas. What’s more, pulling a puppy out of a Christmas stocking in itself sends the wrong message to children. It encourages children to think of the puppy as a toy, rather than a responsibility.Appreciating what you’re taking on with a dog can be a sobering (清醒的) realization. “For life” means thinking about the effect they’ll have on your life. It also infers you will need to care for the dog for its whole life.51.What would be the best title for the passage?A. Dogs and Cats—the Most Popular Christmas Gifts.B. A pet is for Life, Not just for Christmas.C. How to Take Care of Your Pets over Christmas.D. Let’s Help Those Abandoned Pets52.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT a reason for pets to be abandoned?A. Pets spread some diseases.B. Pets damage some things in the house.C. The owners can’t take good care of the pets.D. The owners have to move to other places.53.The underlined words “rounded up” in Paragraph 2 mean “________”.A. given out as giftsB. thrown awayC. g athered into one placeD. raised to make money54. The fifth paragraph mainly tells us________.A. how to take best care of Christmas petsB. the right time to have a puppy as a petC. the reasons why Christmas is not the time to get a petD. the worries about Christmas pets from organizations that help pets55. Why is the author against the idea of putting a dog in the Christmas stocking as a Christmasgift?A. Because these dogs can still cause damage.B. Because children will not take dogs seriously.C. Because children don’t like to have dogs as Christmas gifts.D. Because a Christmas stocking is not big enough to put a dog in.阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2.5分，满分50分）36-40 A D B C B 41-45 C A D B C 46-50 C B A B D 51-55 B A C C B。

中职英语对口高考复习模拟试题：阅读理解阅读理解(共15 小题；每小题2 分，满分30 分)AI was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare and the tortoise. At the end I said, “ Son, remember: Be slow and steady, and that will win the race. Don’t you think there’s something to learn from the tortoise?”Sonny opened his eyes wide, “Do you mean next time when I’m entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy, Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?”I was shocked, “But the tortoise didn’t wish that the hare would fall asleep!”“He must have wished that,” Sonny said, “Otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.”“He didn’t have such a wish,”I insisted. “He won the race by perseverance, by pushing on steadily.”Sonny thought a while. “That’s a lie,” he said. “He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadn’t happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he’d never have won the race. That’s for sure.”I gave up. Today’s children are not like what we used to be. They’rejust hopeless.61. The writer argued with his son because ______________.A. he liked tortoises while his son liked haresB. they disagreed about whether the tortoise was foolishC. he tried to teach his son a moral lesson but the son had totallydifferent opinionD. he liked the story of the hare and the tortoise while his son didn’t.62. Sonny believed that the tortoise ______________.A. won the race by his own hard workingB. took a risk by agreeing to run a raceC. was not given a fair chance in the raceD. in fact did win the race luckily63. Billy, Tony and Sandy must be_______________.A. boys who were unknown to Sonny’s fatherB. boys who Sonny has run races with beforeC. boys who Sonny has never raced with beforeD. boys who Sonny did not expect to race with again64. The writer thinks that his generation______________.A. are cleverer than Sonny’s generationB. have the same ideas about life as Sonny’s generationC. are more hopeful than Sonny’s generationD. have different ideas about life from Sonny’s generation65. According to the passage, who do you think learnt a lesson? ______________.A. The tortoiseB. SonnyC. The hareD. Sonny’s fatherBSocieties all over the world name places in similar ways. Quite often there is no official naming ceremony but places tend to be called names as points of reference by people. Then an organized body steps in and gives the place a name. Frequently it happens that a place has two names: One is named by the people and the other by the government. As in many areas, old habits died hard, and the place continues to be called by its unofficial name long after the meaning is lost.Many roads and places in Singapore are named in order that the pioneers will be remembered by future generations. Thus we have names such as Stamford Road and Raffles Place. This is in keeping with traditions in many countries ---- in both the West and the East.Another way of naming places is naming them after other places. Perhaps they were named to promote friendships between the two places or it could be that the people who used to live there were originally from the places that the roads were named after. The mystery is clearer when we see some of the roads named in former British bases. If you step into Selector Airbase you will see Piccadilly Circus ---- obviously named bysome homesick Royal Air Force personnel.Some places were named after the activities that used to go on at those places. Bras Basah Road is an interesting example, “B ras Basah” means “wet rice” in Malay(马来语). Now why would anyone want to name a road “Wet Rice Road”? The reason is simple. During the pioneering days, wet rice was laid out to dry along this road.A few roads in Singapore are named by their shapes. There is “Circular Road” for one. Other roads may have part of their names to describe their shapes, li ke “Paya Lebar Crescent”. This road is called a crescent (月牙) because it begins on the main road, makes a crescent and comes back to join the main road again.66. We learn from Paragraph 1 that _____.A. the government is usually the first to name a placeB. many places tend to have more than one nameC. a ceremony will be held when a place is namedD. people prefer the place names given by the government67. What does the underlined phrase “die hard” in Paragraph 1 probably mean? ______________.A. Change suddenly.B. Change significantly.C. Disappear mysteriously.D. Disappear very slowly.68. Which of the following places is named after a person? ______________.A. Raffles Place.B. Selector Airbase.C. Piccadilly Circus.D. Paya Lebar Crescent.69. Bras Basah Road is named _______.A. after a personB. after a placeC. after an activityD. by its shape70. What can be inferred from the passage? ______________.A. Some place names in Singapore are the same as in Britain.B. Some places in Singapore are named for military purposes.C. The way Singaporeans name their places is unique.D. Young Singaporeans have forgotten the pioneers.CThe practice of students endlessly copying letters and sentences from a blackboard is a thing of the past. With the coming of new technologies like computers and smart phone, writing by hand has become something of nostalgic (怀旧的)skill. However, while today’s educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful---both in school and in life.Virginia Berninger, professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington, says it’s important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand.Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing tasks---both on a computer and by hand. The study, published in 2009, found that when writing with a pen and paper, participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate.In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a student’s writing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to know well they can write. “Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us access our vocabulary, word meaning and concepts. It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas.” Berninger said.Spelling helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe (转换) “those words in the mind written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen,” the study said. Seeing the words in the “mind’s eye” helps children not o nly to turn their ideas into words, says Berninger, but also to spot (发现) spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct then over time.“In our computer age, some people believe that we don’t have to teach spelling because we have spell c hecks,” she said. “But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they won’t have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer.”71.

People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a ＄10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to “speak” with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees-anywhere at all!Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studyinghow laptops can help students. State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too.At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff uses computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake tea cher said, “Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we’re giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything.”46.

中职英语高考复习模拟试题：阅读理解阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

AMarriages improve after children grow up and move out，according to an academic study, which suggests an “empty nest” is not always a bad thing.Pop ular wisdom has it that parents’ relationships may suffer once their young fly the coop, because they feel they have lost their purpose in life.However, a new study by researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, has found that many couples actually feel happier when their children leave home because they are able to enjoy spending time together.In total,123 American mothers born in the 1930s were tracked for 18 years and asked to rate their satisfaction levels shortly after marrying, when they were bringing up babies, once their children reached their teenage years and finally at age 61, when almost all had “empty nests”．Although not all said they were happier in general, most claimed their marriages had improved since their children had left home. Researchers believe this is not just because the spouses were spending more time together, but because they were able to enjoy each other’s company more.One of the participants in the study，which is published in the journal Psychological Science，said：“Once the kids grow up...there’s some of that stress removed...that responsibility removed，so things are a little more relaxed.”Psychologist Sara Gorchoff，who carried out the investigation，said: “The takehome message for couples with young children is ‘hang in there’．” Her coauthor Oliver John added：“Don’t wait until your kids leave home to schedule quality time with your partner.”However, Dr Dorothy Rowe，from the British Psychological Society，said the effects of living in an “empty nest” will depend on the parents’ relationship with their children.“If you’re just waiting for them to leave home so you can get on with your life，then of course you’ll be pleased to see them go,” she said, “But if you’ve built your life around your children you’ll be terribl y lonely.For some parents，their world falls apart when their children leave.”56. It is commonly believed that___________.A. marriages improve after children leave homeB. an “empty nest” is always a happy thingC. parents’ relationships may suffer once t heir young grow up and move outD. parents will be pleased after their children leave home57. When did many couples feel happier according to the study?A. At age 61, when almost all had “empty nests”.B. Shortly after marrying.C. Once their children reached their teenage years.D. When they were bringing up babies.58. Marriages improve after children fly the coop not because___________.A. many couples are able to spend time togetherB. many couples are able to enjoy each other’s companyC. things are a little more relaxedD. many couples needn’t work at allBIn Yemen, you always see one type of vehicle on the road: the water truck.They travel mountain roads and cross deserts to bring Yemenis the goods more valuable than oil.It is one that only the rich can afford, with the supply regularly being cut off.Others must rely on scarce rain or charity to fight thirst.Experts say Yemen is going to be the first country in the world to run out of water.The capital, Sanaa, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025，says a report by the World Bank.Hannan, an 18-year-old from Lahej, said that only the rich could prepare for cuts in supply.“In a good week we’ll have a water supply all week but then the following week there wil l be water only for a day or two, ” she said.She and her husband, a factory worker, pay 3,000 riyals (99 yuan) for a week’s supply of water from a touring water truck when the taps run dry.With an income of only 20,000 riyals (660 yuan) a month，this means the family often spend half their money on water.“There are a lot of people who can’t afford it and they have to rely on their neighbors to help，” she said.The average person in Yemen survives on one-fifth of what the World Health Organization considers to be enough water.In Taiz, in the south，tap water is available only once every 45 days.In the mountainous Malhan district in the north，women and children climb a 1,500-m mountain to collect water from a spring, often in the small hours to avoid long queues.Yemen is located in Southwest Asia，bordering the Arabian and Red Sea.Yemeni people have lived on scarce water supplies for thousands of years but that problem has been made serious by conflict in the area，the fast-growing population and the use of water to grow a drug called qat.With one of the world’s highest rates of population growth—3.46 percent, Yemen is the poorest Arab country.The government is considering desalinating (淡化) seawater，but this would be expensive and it may now be too late.The only other solution is to cut down on farming, but that means importing even more food.60. The passage aims to________.A. analyze the reasons why Yemen lacks waterB. suggest some solutions to the water issue in YemenC. present how serious the water problem is in YemenD.encourage the world to help Yemenis who are suffering from water shortages61.When Hannan said that only the rich could prepare for cuts in supply，she meant that________.A. rich people drank more water than the poorB. rich people could buy water from the water trucks if there was a water supply cutC. she had a rich neighbor who often helped her during water supply cutsD. the rich were not affected by water supply cuts62. Which of the following may be a reason why Yemen is short of water?A. The country has had no rain for a long time.B. The population of Yemen is growing fast.C. The government has failed to reduce farming.D. People can’t afford the water from government water trucks.63. The best ti tle for the passage is “________”．A. Never take water for grantedB. The water truck—the commonest sight in YemenC. The first country to run out of water in the worldD. No water for YemenCIt happened to me recently that I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed readingBarack Obama’s Dreams from My Father and how it had changed my views of the current US president.The person I was talking to agreed with me that it was，in his words，“a wonderfully written book”. However，he then proceeded to talk about Mr Obama in a way that suggested he had no idea of his background at all.I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.And it seems that he is not the only one.Clearly two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven’t.In th e World Book Day survey，Dreams from My Father is at number 9.The survey lists top ten books，and various authors，which people have lied about reading.As I’m not one to lie too often，I’ll admit here and now that I haven’t read the entire ten books.But I am pleased to say that I have read the book at number one，George Orwell’s1984.I think it’s absolutely outstanding.Asked why they lied，the most common reason was to impress someone they were speaking to.This could be difficult if the conversation became more in-depth!The World Book Day survey also has some other interesting information in it.It shows that many people lie about having read classical works by Jane Austen，the Bronte sisters，Charles Dickens and so on.But when asked which authors they actually enjoy，they named J．K.Rowling，Jilly Cooper，and Stephen King (ah，the big sellers，in other words)．Forty-one percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story.So which books have you lied about reading—if any—and which is your favourite?64. The main reason why people lie about reading is to________.A. make fun of the listenerB. impress the listenerC. please the listenerD. interest the listener65. The underlined word“proceeded” in the passage probably means “________”.A. wantedB. happenedC. continuedD. stopped66. What does the World Book Day survey show?A. Nearly half of the people surveyed didn’t read through a whole classical book.B. People don’t like Dreams from My Father and George Orwell’s 1984.C. Few people lie about having read classical works by Jane Austen.D. People usually enjoy reading books by Charles Dickens.67. What is the best title for the passage?A. Are You a Book Liar?B. Readers Are All LiarsC. World Book DayD. Dreams from My FatherDOn October 12, 1989, some Chinese scientists were working at the computers to look for information they needed. Sudd enly they saw a lot of very bright spots crossing the computers’s screens. At the same time the computers were working much slower. To find out what was happening they stopped their work to check some parts of the computers. To their horror, they found out that most of their stored information was got rid of by computer viruses ! Obviously all these computers had been infected by computer viruses.It is said that the computer viruses were made by a group of young men fond of playing tricks. They all had excellent education. They created the viruses just to show their intelligence . These kinds of computer viruses are named Jerusalem（耶路撒冷）Viruses. These viruses can stay in computers for a long time. When the time comes they will attack the computers by lowering the functions , damaging their normal programs or even getting rid of all the information.We now come to know that Jerusalem Viruses often attack computers on Fridays and that they are spreading to a lot of computers. Among the countries that suffered computer viruses last year are Britain, Australia, Switzerland and the U.S. But fill now , how to get rid of the terribleviruses remains a problem.68. The group of young men created the virus to________.A. damage the computersB. test their abilityC. tell the world that they were intelligentD. play a trick on operators of the computers69. According to the passage, computer viruses seem to________.A. have been in nature for yearsB. exist in any computersC. be difficult to get rid of at presentD. be able to be got rid of in the near future70. The most serious damage caused by the viruses is that________.A. the computer’s functions are loweredB. the normal programs are damagedC. all the information stored in the computers is goneD. the computers infected by the viruses can no longer be used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。

I started saying the words to myself the day when the ultrasound(超声波) told me we were having a baby．Finally, my son was born.The nurse came out of the delivery room, holding a tiny, howling human being wrapped in a white sheet, his small hands and delicate fingers shaking nervously. “Baby Sanchez?” she asked, looking at the room full of expectant fathers.I stood up, holding my breath．She showed me my baby．“My son,” I whispered. The little guy screamed, “waaaaaaaaaah.”But in my heart I heard him cry out, “Daaaaaaad!” I don’t care if everyone in the room will say they didn’t hear my baby say that. I called him, “My son,” and he called me “Dad,” and that’s that.People ask me, “What did I feel at that moment?” I can’t even begin to answer. I’m a writer yet I try hard to find the right words. Joyful isn’t powerful enough. Bliss(狂喜) is not sweet enough. Peaceful isn’t calm enough. Happy isn’t tense enough.After my son was taken away to the nursery, I sat down and shut my eyes. But tears escaped them away. Then suddenly, my 80-year-old father entered, and we embraced(拥抱).“Dad,” I whis pered.“My son,” my heart heard him saying.Suddenly the past 33 years folded into the present and I was now the baby bundled in white, with my father standing over me.“My son,” I imagined him saying.“Daaaaaaaaaad!” I cried my little lungs out.At that point, I knew I was going to be a great father.

By 2050, the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination. Space planes will take people halfway around the world in 2 hours. Today, the United States Space Shuttle can go into space and land on Earth again. By 2050, space planes will fly all over the world and people will fly from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just 2 hours.Robots will have replaced people in factories. Many factories already use robots. Bigcompanies prefer robots —they don’t ask for pay rises or go on strike, and they work 24 hours a day.

She wanted me to “make something” of myself, and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several hours I made myself highly visible, making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. When it was supper time, I walked back home.“ How many did you sell, my boy?” my mother asked.“ None.”“ Where did you go?”“ The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”“ What did you do?”“ Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.”“ You just stood there?” .“ Didn’t sell a single one.”“ My God, Russell!”Uncle Allen put in, “ Well, I’ve decided to take the Post.” I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickel(五分镍币). It was the first nickel I earned.Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence, and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.One day, I told my mother I’d changed my mind. I didn’t want to make a success in the magazine business.“If you think you can change your mind like this,” she replied, “ you’ll become a good-for-nothing.” She insisted that. As soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells,selling magazines. Whenever I said no, she would scold me.My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied with my father’s plain workman’s life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people. But never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her husband’s people for true life and love.【文章大意】本文叙述了作者小时后在母亲的鼓励下，坚持要作者自己去卖杂志，最后成为一名记者的经历。

APeople need to relax and enjoy themse1ves．One way they can have a good time is to watch a baseball game or another sports event．Even thousands of years ago，groups of people gathered to watch skilled athletes（运动员）．Over 2000 years ago in Greece，certain days in the year were festival days．These were holidays when people stopped work and enjoyed themselves．They liked to watch athletes take part in races and other games of skill．The most important festival was held every four years at the town of Olympia．It was held in honor of the Greek god Zeus（Zus）．For five days，athletes from all parts of the Greek world took part in the Olympic Games．At the Olympic Games，people could watch them box，run，jump and so on．There was a relay race between two teams of men in which a lighted torch（火矩）was passed from runner to runner.The Olympic Games were thought to be so important that cities which were at war with one another had to stop fighting．People were allowed to travel to the games safely．Thousands of people came to Olympia from cities in Greece and from her colonies（殖民地）in Africa，Asia and Italy．They met as friends to cheer their favorite athletes and to enjoy themselves．36．What happened in Greece over 2000 years ago？A．People stopped work and enjoyed themselves．B．The cities there were often against one another．C．People watched baseball games．D．People didn’t go to any games at all．37．What were those countries in Africa？A．Friends．B．Enemies．C．Colonies．D．Other cities．38．What did people do at the games？A．They fought．B．They just talked to friends．C．They cheered for good athletes．D．They tried to find friends．39．Greek cities then were fighting so they_____．A．were weak B．were strongC．couldn’t go to other cities freely D．could see each other 40．The best title for the story is“_____”．A．Greece at War B．Together for the Games C．Stop Fighting D．SportBChina has mapped out plans for its new launches in the Shenzhou program on the next flight. But one conclusion seems to have escaped most reports in the aerospace media．The flight of Shenzhou 7 could be timed to coincide（吻合）with the Beijing Olympics. Plans for 2008 Summer Olympics call for the events to be held between the 8th and 24th of August in that year. It’s reasonable to expect that China will use the event to display its achievements before the world, and human spacefli ght is China’s most significant recent breakthrough.Shenzhou 7, China’s next manned space mission, was originally advertised for 2007．This fit the pattern of staging a two-gap between crewed Shenzhou missions, which have previously launched in 2003 and 2005．But Chinese media statements have amended this to 2008．Chinese media have reported that the whole program is going well, more time is needed to work on spacesuit that will be used on this flight to stage China’s first spacewalk. It’s possible that Chinese engineers want to make best preparations for this complex mission.China could intend to carry out the mission of Shenzhou 7 just as media attention is focused on the lead—up to the Olympics. The crew of the fight, and possibly China’s other flown astronauts, could then take part in the opening ceremony. China has previously honnoured her space travelers in great celebrations, such as the Hong Kong event that saw Yang Liwei singing with Jacky Chan.41．From the first paragraph we can infer that___________.A．China hasn’t made its plan for the Beijing OlympicsB．The new Shenzhou program is known to all.C．China has planned to send up Shenzhou 7 in 2008D．Beijing Olympics will be held during the flight in 200842．The underlined word “amended”means______.A．mended B．altered C．dated D．amender43．China has decided to carry out the human spaceflight in 2008 in order to________.A．attract more athletes to take part in the Beijing OlympicsB．show its great achievements to the whole worldC．prove China has become a great developed country like the USAD．introduce its technology to the world44．Which on of the following is true according to the passage?A．Yang Liwei—one the Chinese astronauts walked in space in 2003.B．Yang Liwei—one the Chinese astronauts will be singing with Jacky Chan in space in 2008.C．The spacesuit for the flight of Shenzhou 7 hasn’t been prepared well.D．China will send its second manned spacecraft in 2008.45．What would be the best title for this passage?A．The Beijing OlympicsB．The Shenzhou OlympicsC．The Shenzhou ProgramD．China’s Space Program in 2008CStarted in 1636, Harvard University is the oldest of all the many colleges and universities in the United States. Yale, Princeton and Columbia were opened soon after Harvard.In the early years, these schools were much alike. Only young men went to college. All the students studied the same subjects, and everyone learned Latin, Greek and Hebrew. Little was known about science then, and one kind of school could teach everything that was known about the world. When the students graduated, most of them became ministers(牧师) or teachers.In 1782, Harvard started a medical school for young men who wanted to become doctors. Later, lawyers could receive their training in Harvard's law school. In 1825, besides Latin and Greek, Harvard began teaching modern languages, such as French and German. Soon it began teaching American history.As knowledge increased, Harvard and other colleges began to teach many new subjects. Students were allowed to choose thesubjects that interested them.Today, there are many different kinds of colleges and universities. Most of them are made up of smaller schools. There's so much to learn that one kind of school can't offer it all.46.The oldest university in the US is _________.A. YaleB. HarvardC. PrincetonD. Columbia47.From the second paragraph, we can see that in the early years, ______.A. those colleges and universities were the sameB. people, young or old, might study in the collegesC. students studied only some languages and scienceD. when the students finished their school, they became lawyers or teachers48.Modern languages the Harvard taught in 1825 were ________.A. Latin and GreekB. Latin, Green, French and GermanC. American history and GermanD. French and German49.As knowledge increased, colleges began to teach_______.A. everything that was knownB. law and something about medicineC. many new subjectsD. the subjects that interested students50.On the whole, the passage is about___________.A. how to start a universityB. the world-famous colleges in AmericaC. how colleges have changedD. what kind of lesson each college teachesDThey say that soon, we will be able to receive more than 500 television networks on cable or by satellite(卫星). Some people think that it’s useless to have that manychannels（频道）. Their usual criticism(批评) goes something like this: "I already get more channels on my TV than I have time to watch. No one needs to see that much TV. There’s not enough time in the day to watch all that! "They also say that most of what’s on television now isn’t worth watching in the first place.I t hink they’re missing the point. If the local library wanted to add another5,000 books, would we say, "That’s silly, we’ll never have time to read all those books"? The point is that we would have more choices.I don’t believe that most people should watch more television. And if we had 500 or even 1,000 channels to choose from, we wouldn’t have to spend more time watching TV. We would, however, have more programs to choose from. That means that the quality of our viewing time would be improved.I think the more channels we have, the better. Give me more choices! If they’re not worth my time, I’ll just hit the "off" button.51. The purpose of writing this passage is to ______.A. make a suggestionB. express an opinionC. give important informationD. complain about cable television52.

AJohn Smith was lazy. He had finished his education and was happy to sit in his room and listen to the radio all day long. In fact, he had been doing nothing for almost six months, which worried his father a lot. One day Mr Smith decided that he had to do something. “Johnny. When I was your age I was working and supporting my ten brothers and sisters. I want you to go out and get a job.” So that was what he did. In fact, in the next three months, Johnny started ten jobs and was fired from ten jobs. He explained to his father.“They wanted me to be at work at 8:00 a. m. and told me to do all sorts of unpleasant things.”“I don’t care how you do it,” Mr Smith said. “Either you earn some money or move out of the house. I gave you one week’s time.”In the next few days Johnny began to change. He still stayed in his room all day, but spent his time writing letters and reading through the newspapers. More and more posts began to arrive for him. He bought a new suit for himself and invited his parents to the theatre and for dinner afterwards at the most expensive restaurant in town. When his proud parents arrived home after their evening hour, a policeman was waiting at the front door.“John Smith,” he said as he h anded him a piece of paper, “I’ll see you in the court tomorrow.”When he got outside, Johnny told his parents everything.“When you told me to earn some money, 1 decided to put an advertisement in the newspaper saying, ‘New way to money fast! Send me $ 5 and I’ll tell you my secret.’ When I received the money I wrote back telling people to do as I do.”Johnny was fined $ 250 by the court and was ordered to pay all the people back. As he left the court house feeling very asham ed, a newspaper man came up to him, “Young man, would you like to tell your story to my newspaper for $ 2500?”56.

You can find this passage most probably in ________.A. a school libraryB. a tourist agencyC. the post officeD. the museumDMost musicians agree that the best violins were made in Cremona, Italy, about 200 years ago. They even sound better than violins made today. Violin makers and scientists try to makeinstruments like the old Italian violins. But they aren’t the same. Why are these old Italian violins so special? Many people think they have an answer.Some people think it is the age of the violins. But there is a problem here. Not all old violins sound wonderful. Only those from Cremona are special. So age cannot be the answer.Other people think the secret to those violins is the wood. The wood of the violin is very important. It must be from certain kinds of trees. It must not be too young or too old. Perhaps the violin makers of Cremona knew something special about wood for violins.But the kind of wood may not be so important. It may be more important to cut the wood in a special way. Wood for a violin must be cut very carefully. It has to be the right size and shape. The smallest difference will change the sound of the violin. Musicians sometimes think that this is the secret of the Italians.Size and shape may not be the answer either. Scientists make new violins that are exactly the same size and shape. But the new violins still do not sound as good as the old one. Some scientists think the secret may be the varnish（清漆）, which covers the wood of the violin and makes it look shiny. It also helps the sound of the instrument. Since no one knows what the Italian violin makers used in their varnish, no one can make the same varnish today.There may never be other violins like the violins of Cremona. And there are not many of the old violins left. So these old violins are becoming more and more precious.71. What would be the best title for the passage?A. The Secrets of Cremona ViolinsB.

AMy grandma whom we all called Nanny was a solid, first-generation, Italian immigrant（移民）. She came to this country with her family on a tiny ship during World War I when she was only 8 years old. During the trip she survived stormy seas，little food, and an attack by a German U-boat. After getting here，her large family worked hard to build a new life in America. They never had much money but were rich in love.One day，when I was about 5 or 6 years old, my parents and brothers went on a trip. It was just me and Nanny in the house for the weekend. Nanny seemed so happy to be taking care of me all by her. She made me a special breakfast that first morning. However, all I could do was to complain about how the food was not how Mom always made it. Nanny quietly put down the plate and went into the living room. I followed a minute later and saw that she had tears in her eyes. It was the first time I had ever seen my strong and proud grandmother cry and I was the one who had caused it.I walked over to Nanny, climbed on her lap, and for the first time in my short life I did something else too. I apologized without being told to and asked Nanny to forgive me. She smiled, rubbed my head, and told me I was a good boy even though I didn’t feel like one then.That memory just like my Nanny’s love will stay in my heart forever. It is a sign of both strength and wisdom. Asking for forgiveness helps us to learn, to grow, and to love.56. Nanny’s family moved to America mainly because _____.A. they suffered hunger in their homelandB. they wanted to start a rich life in the new landC. they tried to get away from the terrible climateD. their country was in war and they needed peace57. The boy complained to Nanny that the food _____.A. wasn’t cooked the way his mom didB. was served a bit later than usualC. was prepared in a special wayD. was just to his parents’ taste58. When seeing Nanny crying in the living room, the author felt _____.A. surprisedB. ashamedC. shockedD. annoyed59. The author mainly wants to tell us that _____.A. hardships can make children more independentB. forgiveness can be beneficial to people asking for itC. grandparents tolerate more than their grandchildrenD. family ties can sometimes be misusedBHave you ever gone to work to find that one of your coworkers is coughing and sneezing all day long? You do your best to keep a safe distance and wonder: Why did he or she come to workwhen they were ill? The reality for many Americans is that they do not have enough paid sick time each year to afford them the luxury（奢侈）of staying home because they don’t feel well.This problem doesn’t j ust affect the working employees who are sick, though. In an article by James Warren for Bloomberg Business Week, a second-grade school teacher, Stilli Klikizos shares about the sick children that must stay in school all day long because their parents can’t get off work to come and get them. In the past school year, she had several children who were unable to be picked up at school who were later diagnosed with H1N1.There is a movement called the Healthy Families Act in Congress（议会）that would change this situation for many Americans. The Healthy Family Act would require employers with 15 or more employees to provide 7 paid sick days a year for their workers. These days could be used not only for days when the worker is sick, but the time can also be used when caring for others, or going to routine doctor’s appointments.Those who are against the Act argue that many businesses are struggling to make ends meet owing to recession (经济衰退), and point out that this is the wrong time to force employers to add an additional expense.Those who support the Healthy Families Act say that our nation can’t afford to not deal with it. When an individual goes to work sick, they are possibly infecting their coworkers, clients and customers.According to a report by Katie Couric on the CBS evening news, three fourths of low wage（薪水）earners get docked when they are on sick leave. Those individuals include daycare workers and restaurant workers, whose health can affect the health of many.60. Why do many Americans still come to work when they are sick?A. They often ignore the illness if not serious.B. The cost of staying home is great.C. They work in high spirits.D. The cost of medical treatment is high.61. In the article mentioned in this passage, James Warren intends to say ______.A. adults’ not having enough paid sick time may be bad for childrenB. teachers are responsible for taking good care of children at schoolC. parents shouldn’t leave the sick children at schoolD. children need more thoughtful and considerate care62. According to the Healthy Families Act, ______.A. all the employers are required to provide 7 paid sick days a year for their workersB. the employees could demand their companies pay for their medical billsC. the employees can use the paid sick days to take care of their sick childrenD. the employees can use the paid sick days to take a trip so as to relax themselves.63. Why are some people against the Healthy Families Act?A. The nation can’t afford to do as the Act requires.B. Companies have no such duty to provide paid sick time.C. Many companies’ financial situations are not so good due to the recession.D. Usually one’s illness won’t infect his coworkers and customers.64. The term "get docked" in Paragraph 6 probably means ____________.A. get firedB. lose part of wagesC. lose their healthD. get paidCFor high school leavers starting out in the working world, it is very important to learn particular skills and practice how to behave in an interview or how to find all internship(实习). In some countries, schools have programs to help students onto the path to work. In the United States, however, such programs are still few and far between.Research shows that if high schools provide career-related courses, students are likely to get higher earnings in later years. The students are more likely to stay in school, graduate and go on to higher education.In Germany, students as young as 13 and 14 are expected to do internships. German companies work with schools to make sure that young people get the education they need for future employment.But in America, education reform (改革) programs focus on how well students do in exams instead of bringing them into contact with the working world. Harvard Education school professor Robert Schwartz has criticized （批评）education reformers for trying to place all graduates directly on the four-year college track. Schwartz argued that this approach leaves the country’s most vulnerable(易受影响的)kids with no jobs and no skills.Schwartz believed that the best career programs encourage kids to go for higher education while also teaching them valuable practical skills at high school. James Madison High School in New York, for example, encourages students to choose classes on career-based courses. The school then helps them gain on-the-job experience in those fields while they’re still at high school.However, even for teens whose schools encourage them to connect with work, the job market is daunting. In the US, unemployment rates for 16-to 19-year-olds are above 20 percent for the third summer in a row. “The risk is that if teenagers miss out on the summer job experience, they become part of this generation of teens who had trouble in landing a job,”said Michael, a researcher in the US.65.

AA small town in southwest Britain is banning(禁止) plastic bags in an attempt to help the environment and cut waste－a step that environmentalists believe is a first for Europe.Shopkeepers in Modbury population 1,500, agreed to stop handing out disposable plastic bags to customers on Saturday. They said paper sacks and cloth carrier bags would be offered instead.Last month, San Franciso became the first U.S. city to ban plastic grocery bags. Internationally, laws to discourage the use of plastic bags have been passed in parts of South Africa and Ireland, where governments either tax shoppers who use them or fine companies that hand them out. Bangladesh already bans them, and so do at least 30 remote Alaskan villages.Modbury, about 225 miles southwest of London, has also declared a bag amnesty(宽限期), allowing local people to hand in plastic bags that have piled up at home. They will be sent for a recvcling.The Modbury ban was the idea of Rebecca Hosking, who saw the effect of bags on marine life while working in the Pacific as a wildlife camerawoman. She said response(反应) in the town so far had been “really positive”.“Modbury is quite an old-fashioned town and a lot of people have wicker baskets to go out shopping anyway,” Hosking told Sky News Television.The Worldwatch Institute, an environmental research agency, states that 100 billion plastic bags are thrown away each year in the United States alone. More than 500 billion are used yearly around the world.56.What was Rebecca Hosking?A. A lawyer.B. An environmentalist.C. A photographer.D.

Indeed if the Flood Warning System that currently exists had been around on that cold, stormy night in January 1953, many lives would have been spared.The Environment Agency took over the role of flood warning in 1995 from the police who had to go door to door or sound alarms to get the news out. The service is being constantly improved and a combination of better technology and increased investment following the Easter Floods of 1998 has led to the creation of Floodline and an automatic (自动) messaging system that can warn thousands of people in very little time.Floodline 0845 988 1188 offers information and advice 24 hours a day and if warnings are in place, callers can get information either from local updates or by using a quick dial code for their area.The Flood Warning team in Kent has also sent letters to the people living close to the rivers or the sea and invited them to join the A VM (automated voice messaging) system. Anyonechoosing to take up this free service will receive a recorded message directly to their home, business or pager telling them of the level of warning, giving them as much time as possible to carry out their flood plan and save items that cannot be replaced if lost or damaged, such as photographs or children's favorite toys.68. Choose the correct statements from the following according to the passage.a. Many people lost their lives in the flood in 1953.b. The Flood Warning system was already in use in 1953.e. Flood defences can stop all flooding.d. The Environment Agency began to warn people of flood in 1995.e. Floodline was created after the Easter Floods of 1998.A. a, b, cB. b, c, dC. a, c, eD. a, d, e69. What does the underlined word "pager" mean in tile passage?A. A boy employed to carry luggage in hotels.B. A piece of equipment designed to receive and show messages.C. A page of papers written to offer messages.D. A person, invited to write pages of messages.70. People can e.asily get information and advice about flood any time of the day from ________.A. automatic messaging systemB. Floodline 0845 988 1188C. the Flood Warning team in KentD. automated voice messaging system71. The best title for this passage may probably be __________.A. Enviromnent AgencyB. Technology In Flood DefencesC. Flood Warning SystemD. Easter FloodsEDogs wag(摇摆) their tails in different directions depending on whether they are excited and wanting to move forward or threatened and thinking of moving back, a study has found.Researchers in Italy examined the tail wagging behaviour of 30 dogs, catching their responses to a range of stimuli(刺激物) with video camems. To conduct the study they chose 15 male dogs and 15 female ones aged between one and six years. The dogs were all family pets whose owners had allowed them to take part in the experiment at Bari Umversity. The dogs were placed in a large wooden box with an opening at the front to allow for them to view variousstimuli. They were tested one at a time.The researchers led by Professor Giorgio Vallortigara of the University of Trieste found that when the dogs were shown their owners—a positive expenence—their tails wagged energetically to the right side. When they were shown an unfamiliar human they wagged to the right, but with somewhat less enthusiasm. The appears of a cat again caused a right-hand side wag, although with less intensity again. The appearance of a large unfamiliar dog, similar to a German shepherd, changed the direction of tail wagging to the left. Researchers supposed the dog was thinking of moving back. When the dogs were not shown any stimuli they tended to wag their tails to the left, suggesting they preferred company. While the changes in the tail wagging were not easily noticed without the aid of video, it was thought that the findings could help people judge the mood (心情) of dogs. Computer and video systems, for example, could be used by professional dog trainers to determine the mood of dogs that they were required to approach.72.The video cameras were used to cat ch the dogs’ responses because .A.it was easier to catch the dogs’response changes in the tail waggingB.the dogs were put in the wooden boxes and tested one at a time.C.they enabled the dogs’owners to know about their dogs’habitD.the dogs wagged their tails in different directions when they were in different moods73.When there are no stimuli, a dog will .A.wag to the leftB.wag to the rightC.not wag at allD.wag to the left and then to the right74.The underlined word “they” refers to .A.the dogsB.the trainersC.the systemsD.the rescarchers75.The purpose of doing the experiment is .A.to train dogs for their ownersB.to help people judge the mood of dogsC.to help dogs find companyD.to help people choose their pet dogs。

CIf you don’t want people to know too much about you, then you had better keep your fridge contents secret, according to a British market research document released last week.Researchers peered (凝视) into the fridges of 400 people in Britain and compared the contents with the owners’ lifestyles. They claim to be able to classify the nation’s people by fridge contents.They say those people can be separated into five categories：nutrition nerds (no social sense), food faddiest (whatever’s in style), martyr mums, fast food fanatics and restaurant regulars.Nutrition nerds care much about what they put into their bodies. Their fridges are stocked with fruit, vegetables and healthy meat.People in this category tend to be highly organized and usually work in law or accountancy. The vast majority is single, but if they have a partner, that person will be similar.A fridge full of vitamins —enriched juices implies its owner works in media or fashion. They tend not to eat the foods they buy. Known as the food faddiest, they just want to be seen as purchasing the latest important things.A fridge filled with everything from steak to frozen fish suggests the martyr mum. Her fridge tends to be stocked with every kind of product, except what she herself would want. This fridge hints at difficulty balancing family and work life.Fast food fanatics always buy mineral water or soda pop. The nearest they will get to fresh fruit is tomato sauce. Their fridges hint at someone who works hard and plays hard, also, someone who is not into long term planning.Finally, a fridge filled with nothing more than a bottle of white wine and some sparkling mineral water implies an owner who is single, lives in a big city and enjoys the finer things in life. The fridge is empty because this person regularly eats in restaurants.【文章大意】本文叙述了冰箱里放的食物会展示出主人的性格和生活方式。

AComputer programmer David Jones earns ￥35,000 a year designing new computer games, yet he cannot find a bank ready to let him have a credit card (信用卡). Instead, he has been told to wait another two years, until he is 18. The 16-year-old works for a small firm in Liverpool, where the problem of most young people of his age is finding a job. David’s firm releases (推出) two new games for the fast throwing computer market each month.But David’s biggest headache is what to do with his money. Even though he earns a lot, he cannot drive a car, take out a mortgage (抵押贷款), or get credit cards. David got his job with the Liverpool-based company four months ago, a year after leaving school with six O-levels and working for a time in a computer shop. “I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs,” he said. David spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother 50 pounds a week. But most of his spare time is spent working.“Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school,” he said. “But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time. I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway.” David added: “I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement (退休) is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear.”46. In what way is David different from people of his age?A. He often goes out with friends.B. He lives with his mother.C. He has a handsome income.D. He graduated with six O-levels.47. What is one of the problems that David is facing now?A. He is too young to get a credit card.B. He has no time to learn driving.C. He has very little spare time.D. He will soon lose his job.48. Why was David able to get the job in the company?A. He had done well in all his exams.B. He had written some computer programs.C. He was good at playing computer games.D. He had learnt to use computers at school.49. Why did David decide to leave school and start working?A. He received lots of job offers.B. He was eager to help his mother.C. He lost interest in school studies.D. He wanted to earn his own living.BIt’s not easy being a teenager (13至19岁青少年) –nor is it easy being the parent of a teenager. You can make your child feel angry, hurt, or misunderstood by what you say without realizing it yourself. It is important to give your child the space he needs to grow up while gentlyletting him know that you’ll still be there for him when he needs you.Expect a lot from your child, just not everything. Except for health and safety problems, such as drug use or careless driving, consider everything else open to discussion. If your child is unwilling to discuss something, don’t insist he should tell you what’s on his mind. The more you insist, the more likely that he’ll clam up. Instead, let him attempt to solve things by himself. At the same time, remind him that you’re always there for hi m if he needs advice or help. Show respect for your teenager’s privacy. Never read his mail or listen in on personal conversations.Teach your teenager that the family phone is for the whole family. If your child talks on the family’s telephone for too long, tell him he can talk for 15 minutes, but then he must stay off the phone for at least an equal period of time. This not only frees up the line so that other family members can make and receive calls, but also teaches your teenager moderation (节制). Or if you are open to the idea, allow your teenager his own phone that he pays for with his own pocket money or a part-time job.50. The main purpose of the text is to tell parents ______.A. how to get along with a teenagerB. how to respect a teenagerC. how to understand a teenagerD. how to help a teenager grow up51.

What should parents do in raising a teenager according to the text?A. Not allow him to learn driving or take drugs.B. Give him advice only when necessary.C. Let him have his own telephone.D. Not talk about personal things with him.CEven at school there had been an unhealthy competition（竞争）between George and Richard.“I’ll be the first millionaire in Clifford!” Richard Pike used to say.“I’ll be the best lawyer in the town!” George would reply.George never did become a lawyer and Richard Pike never made any money. Instead both men opened bookshops on opposite sides of Clifford High Street. It was hard to make money from books, which made the competition between them worse.Then Richard Pike married a girl. The couple spent their honeymoon on the beach—but Richard Pike never came back. The police found his wallet on a deserted beach but the body was never found. He must have dead in the water.Now with only one bookshop in Clifford High Street, business was better for George. But sometimes he sat in his narrow, old kitchen and looked out of the dirty window, thinking about his rival(竞争对手). Perhaps he missed him!George was very interested in old dictionaries. He had recently found a collector in Australia who was selling a rare（稀有的）first edition. When the parcel arrived, the book was in perfect condition and George was delighted. But while he was having lunch, George saw the photo in the newspaper with which the book had been wrapped（包裹）. He was surprised—the smiling face was older than he remembered but unmistakable! George started reading.“Bookends have bought ten bookstores from their rivals Dylan. The company, owned bymulti-millionaire Richard Pike, is now the largest bookseller in Austra lia.”54.

APerfume (香水) has been in existence for a long time. These days, certain perfumes are considered comparable to great works of art. Here are a few of the most famous perfumes in history.Chanel No.5This perfume is probably the best-selling scent (气味) in the history of fragrance (香水). Created by Ernst Beaux for Coco Chanel in 1921, it has been described as “the world’s most legendary fragrance”, and remains the company’s most famous perfume.ShalimarJacques Guerlain created this vanilla (香草) fragrance in 1925. The perfume takes its name from the Garden of Shalimar, which was built by Emperor Shah Jehan for one of his wives. It was an immediate hit in 1925 and is still extremely popular today. JoyJoy is famous for having been the most expensive perfume in the world at one point. It was created in 1930 by Henri Alméras for Jean Patou to lift the bad mood that had swept over the world after the 1929 stock market crash.L’Air duTempsFrancis Farbon created Nina Ricci’s L’Air du Temps in 1948. The fragrance is known for its spicy (香的) carnation (康乃馨) and gardenia (栀子) scents as well as its beautiful crystal (水晶的) bottle (designed by Lalique).EternityCalvin Klein’s second perfume was created by Sophia Grojsman in 1988. Known for its light, flowery scent, the perfume was listed in the Fragrance Hall of Fame in2003. It is recommended for daytime wear.AngelThis wildly popular perfume was created in 1992 by Olivier Cresp for Thierry Mugler. The perfume was an instant success. The perfume has often been described as “delicious”, owing to its chocolatey (巧克力味的) scent. The perfume comes in beautiful star-shaped bottles.

In the newspaper.C. In a travel magazine.D. In a fashion magazine.BWhat’s the meaning of “dark horse”? It’s someone who wins when no one expects it.Han Xiaopeng took China’s first gold on snow. He became an Olympic “darkhorse” by winning the gold medal in men’s freestyle aerial skiing(自由式滑雪空中技巧) at Turin in Italy. He made two almost perfect jumps for the highest score. Han had never won a world gold medal before, let alone(更不用说) in the Olympics!“I never thought this would happen,” said the 23-year-old. “I feel like I’m in a dream.” It’s China’s second gold medal at the Turin Olympics. But more important, Han’s gold was the country’s first ever in a snow sport. In 2002, China’s Yang Yang won the gold for speed skating at the winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, US.That Han’s win was unexpected doesn’t mean that he didn’t work hard.Han grew up in Jiangsu Province. Before he started his training on snow, he used to be an acrobat(杂技演员) at a circus. In 1995, a coach found his talent(才能). The coach, Yang Er’qi, said Han had the agility(灵活性) and courage to be a ski jumper. When Yang first took the 12-year-old to northern China, the boy couldn’t swim, skate or ski. But he wasn’t afraid of the high platform(跳台) and kept on training.Han almost left the sport after hurting his knee months before the Salt Lake Games. In that Olympics he only got 24th. “I was hopeless at that time, but my family and the coach stood firmly(坚强地) behind me, helping me through,” he recalled. Han Xiaopeng worked so hard that he won the gold medal in the Olympics at last. Because of his success, more and more people in China are becoming interested in skiing. We are proud of him and we hope he will have another big success in the next winter Olympics.41. What does ‘dark horse’ mean? It means _____________.A. a horse which is darkB. someone who is unexpected to winC. a horse which likes the darkD. someone whose win is expected42. Where did Han Xiaopeng take China’s first gold on snow?A. In ChinaB. In Italy.C. In America.D. In Australia.43. What made the coach, Yang Er’qi, choose Han Xiaopeng to be a ski jumper?A. He had enough courage though he was only 12 years old.B. He was born in the south of China and liked sports on snow.C. He had the agility and wasn’t afraid of the high platform.D. He had the talent and he had won a world gold medal before.44. Which of the following sentences is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. He insisted on competing though hurting his knee in the gameB. He made two almost perfect jumps and got the highest score.C. Someone had won the gold before Han Xiaopeng at the winter Olympics.D. He never gave up even though he had faced many difficulties.45. What is the best title for this passage?A. A Wonderful MatchB. A Dark Horse at the Winter OlympicsC. A Hopeful Snow GameD. An Exciting Skiing RaceCIdeas about polite behavior are different from one culture to another. Some societies. such as America and Australia for example, are mobile and very open.People here change jobs and move house quite often. As a result. they have a lot of relationships that often last only a short time. and they need to get to know people quickly. So it's normal to have friendly conversations with people that they have just met. and you can talk about things that other cultures would regard as personal.On the other hand there are more crowded and less mobile societies wherelong-tenn relationships are more important. A Malaysian or Mexican business person, for example. will want to get to know you very well before he or she feels happy to start business. But when you do get to know each other, the relationship becomes much deeper than it would in a mobile society.To Americans. both Europeans and Asians seem cool and formal at first. On the other hand, as a passenger from a less mobile society puts it, it's no fun spending several hours next to a stranger who wants to tell you all about his or her life and asks you all sorts of questions that you don't want to answer.Cross-cultural differences aren't just a problem for travelers. but also for the flights that carry them. All flights want to provide the best service. but ideas about good service are different from place to place. This can be seen most clearly in the way that problems are dealt with.Some societies have 'universalist' cultures. These societies strongly respect rules, and they treat every person and situation in basically the same way.'Particularist' societies. on the other hand. also have rules, but they are less important than the society's unwrinen ideas about what is right or wrong for a particular situation or a particular person. So the normal rules are changed to fit the needs of the situation or the importance of the person.This difference can cause problems.

The same comment is made from generation to generation and it is always true. It has never been truer than it is today. The young are better educated. They have a lot more money to spend and enjoy more freedom. They grow up more quickly and are not so dependent on their parents. They think more for themselves and do not blindly accept the life goals of their elders. Events which the older generation remembers vividly are nothing more than past history. This is as it should be. Every new generation is different from the one before. Today the difference is very noticeable indeed.The old always believe that they know best for the simple reason that they have been around a bit longer. They don’t like to feel that their values are being questioned or threatened. And this is exactly what the young are doing. Wouldn’t people work best if they were given complete freedom and responsibility? And what about clothing? Who said that all the men in the world should wear dull grey suits and very short haircuts? Who said that human differences can best be solved through normal politics or by violent means? Why have the older generation so often used violence to solve their problems? Why are they so unhappy and guilty in their personal lives, so occupied with mean ambitions and the desire to collect more and more wealth? Haven’t the old lost touch with all that is important in life?These are not questions the older generation can shrug off lightly. Their record over the past forty years or so hasn’t been exactly spotless. Traditionally, the younghave turned to their elders for guidance. Today, the situation might be opposite. The old—if they are prepared to admit it—could learn a thing or two from their children. One of the biggest lessons they could learn is that enjoyment is not wrong. Enjoyment is a principle one could apply to all aspects of life. It is surely not wrong to enjoy your work and enjoy your free time. It is surely not wrong to live in the present rather than in the past or future. This emphasis on the present is only to be expected because the young have grown up under the shadow of the bomb: the constant threat of complete annihilation (灭亡). This is just what the older generation has passed down to them.51. Which of the following about the young is NOT mentioned in the article?A. Better educated.B. Richer.C. Independent.D.
