Since I discovered it two years ago, I’ve used music to get through boring work or to focus creatively. I’ve found that it can make even the dullest jobs enjoyable and help clear mental blocks to creativity.I first noticed the good effects of music while playing video games. It was a few days before Christmas in 2008 and I was playing online video games. My parents had just given me a new MP3, so I decided to listen to music through the headphones while I played. After a few minutes I noticed a great change in my style of play. I was playing more naturally. The music relaxed me, and, to a certain extent, distracted me from the game, allowing my subconscious（潜意识的）talent to come through. The music also helped me block out the outside world. With those headphones on I was like a machine, moving from one task to the next without unnecessary thoughts or actions.Music can also have a great effect on mood. If I’m in a bad mood at work, I’ll listen to some of Bob Marley’s and get down to business. It always takes my mind off what I’m doing and makes me a happier person. The same is true for classic rock. One summer, I did a boring job collecting bottle openers by hand. Without a radio playing classic rock in the background, I would have hated life.Listening to music with relaxing rhythms and a positive message helps you forget your work and think happy thoughts. But the results you see will depend heavily on your personal tastes. Experiment with the types of music you listen to during certain tasks. By trial and error you’ll finally discover your best choice. I’m always looking for new concentration aids, so I’d love to know what type of music works best for me.36. We can infer that the passage was written in________.A. 2005B. 2006C. 2010D. 200837.

In fact, it didn’t get better, it just got louder.Her teacher finally gave up and stopped the lessons, but Alice refused to give in, and one day she decided to give a concert and invited her teacher to attend.The teacher was very worried about what to say after the concert. She knew it would be terrible and it was. She didn’t w ant to tell a lie, but she didn’t want to hurt Alice’s feelings either.

The advertisement in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theatre box in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 and 4:00. Since I work from 9:00 to 5:30, the only time I could go to the theatre was during my 45-minute lunch break. Unfortunately, the theatre is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky you can make the round trip in 45 minutes. Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes waiting for the bus. By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip. So I gave up and went back to the office. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again the next day. On Thursday, my luck changed. I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in exactly twenty minutes. When I got there , however, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for over an hour. Realising I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and headed back across the town. By Friday I realised my only hope was to make the trip by taxi, it was expensive, but I felt it would be worth it to hear the concert. The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but it felt like an hour to me. When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line. The reason, however, I quickly discovered, was that they had already sold outall the tickets.44. The man learned _______ that there would be aconcert last Friday.A. from his friendsB. from one of his workmatesC. over the radioD. from the newspaper45. He tried to go to the theatre every day but ma- naged to get there only ______.A. onceB. twiceC. three timesD. four times46. One day the man took ______ to get to the thea- tre by bus.A. forty-five minutesB. fifteen minutesC. just twenty minutesD. over an hour47. The underlined word “relieved” may best be re- placed by “______”.A. surprisedB. pleasedC. puzzledD. sorryDThe audience start to scream and young people all over Britain turn on their TVs. Yes, it’s Top of the Pops!Top of the Pops is an amazing 34-year-old TV programme. Pop stars from all over the world appear on this successful TV programme. After 1, 800 shows, it’s still the most popular pop music show in Britain. So what’s the secret?“We get lots of bands to perform live in the studio,” says producer Chris Cowey. “That just doesn’t happen on other shows.”Chris starts planning the programme over a week before it goes out. His first job is to decide which bands to have on the show. When the chart of the top twenty songs is produced on Sunday, Chris can start to book the bands.Monday starts with Chris meeting his sound, lighting and camera workers. They listen to each song and plan the show. Tuesday is paperwork day. There are bookings to make sure of letters to answer and lots of phone calls to make. The show is on Thursday. Bands arrive at the studio from 10 o’clock in the morning and start practising. Tonight’s presenter, Jo Whiley, practises too.First the bands go to make-up. Judy and Issy are the make-up artists. “We see the stars with no make-up on, looking terrible,” says Is sy. Then the bands go to the costume department where Marianne dresses the stars.Back in the studio things are happening. The audience are practising their dance moves!

So the first step to establish a successful relationship is to find out what needs the other person has. It is also very important to understand your own needs so that you can help the other person in the relationship to meet your needs.Unfortunately, not only do many people fail to see or to understand their partner’s needs, but they do not understand their own. Children have wonderful relationships with their parents as long as their needs are being satisfied. When the needs are not satisfied, the relationship changes and problems arise. As a child grows, needs change; it is necessary that parents recognize these changes. As it is with the child to the parents, it is also with the parents to the child.The way to recognize the needs of other people is by their responses to you. When you do or say som ething and you get a positive response, you are well on the way to being recognized. The same goes for you. What is it that you respond to in a positive manner? What do you feel good about getting and about doing? What are you totally guiltless about? What can you do with complete confidence and fearlessness? What emotional scene can you control without fear or guilt? Look in these areas for your needs and you will in all probability find your answers.As stated, our own needs are often hidden. The techniques covered in the power of self-mind control will allow you to discover your needs and show you who you are in regard to interpersonal relationships. Your effectiveness in influencing and dealing with people will greatly increase the power of self-mind control.56. From the passage we learn that ________.A. it is hard to make good interpersonal relationshipsB. there are several levels of relationships among peopleC. the success of different interpersonal relationships can be measured by needsD. the first step to establish a successful relationship is to know your own needs57. According to Paragraph 2, the most important factor in dealing with people is to ________.A. be kind to them and help themB. only think of their needsC. find out both your needs and theirsD. learn some interpersonal techniques58. Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. A child’s nee ds change with his growth.B. A child should also know his parents’ needs.C. It’s easier to find your own needs than to find others’.D. You can learn what others need by their responses to you.59. The last two paragraphs are written mainly to tell us ________.A. why some people fail in a relationshipB. how to increase the power of self-mind controlC. why our needs are often hiddenD. how to recognize others’ needs and yoursB 难度：中What is freedom? It seems like such a simple question. Freedom is being able to do what you want to do. Allow me to explain it.I’m tired of working for a living. I’d rather collect taxes. So that’s what I’m going to do: collect a kind of tax. You are ordered to estimate your income from the past 12 months, and write me a check for 1%. I have provided a mailing address for this purpose on my contact page …What? You have a problem with my plan? Oh, I see. If you have to send me a check for the tax, then I have hurt your freedom to spend that money as you see fit. We have a conflict! And our basic problem is: we cannot enjoy freedom at the same time; we must settle for a limit. But what limit?Libertarians (自由论者) believe freedom should be based on self-control. They describe freedom as being able to do what you want to do as long as it doesn’t influence the equal right of others to do what they want to do. That is, freedom is being able to do what you like as long as you do not harm another person’s life, liberty or property.You can build a set of legal and ethical (道德的) rules on the principle of self-control, and libertarians do. Their request for self-control often becomes more important than common sense, or even freedom itself.The definition rules out the freedom to steal, murder, and so on. Otherwise, you can do whatever you want. There is no problem until you realize that taxation is theft, that war is murder, and that national service is a form of slavery. Since only the government has a legal right to use force, libertarians focus on making the government smaller, or even going without it.

Si nce I discovered it two years ago, I’ve used music to get through boring work or to focus creatively. I’ve found that it can make even the dullest jobs enjoyable and help clear mental blocks to creativity.I first noticed the good effects of music while playing video games. It was a few days beforeChristmas in 2005 and I was playing online video games. My parents had just given me a new MP3, so I decided to listen to music through the headphones while I played. After a few minutes I noticed a great change in my style of play. I was playing more naturally. The music relaxed me, and, to a certain extent, distracted me from the game, allowing my subconscious (潜意识的) talent to come through. The music also helped me block out the outside world. With those headphones on I was like a machine, moving from one task to the next without unnecessary thoughts or actions.Music can also have a great effect on mood. If I’m in a bad mood at work, I’ll listen to some of Bob Marley’s and get down to business. It always takes my mind off what I’m doing and makes me a happier person. The same is true for classic rock. One summer, I did a boring job collecting bottle openers by hand. Without a radio playing classic rock in the background, I would have hated life.Listening to music with relaxing rhythms and a positive m essage helps you forget your work and think happy thoughts. But the results you see will depend heavily on your personal tastes. Experiment with the types of music you listen to during certain tasks. By trial and err or you’ll finally discover your best choice. I’m always looking for new concentration aids, so I’d love to know what type of music works best for me.64.

Imagine tools and techniques that are so closely connected with your work that you can apply them directly to it. Imagine receiving an Open University (OU) certificate (证书) in a course which states what you have studied and achieved.It may sound fantastic, but it’s a reality at the Open University’s CCPD, which is makinglearning while you work more flexible (灵活的) than ever before.The courses are starting to change workplace learning comp letely. Paige, who took CCPD’s courses, said the study had changed her whole way of thinking. “It was excellent for so many reasons,” she said. “It developed me as a person and as an employee and taught me particular techniques. I was always able to bring what I’d learned into the office the next day and apply it to my job.”Even better news for Paige was that her employer paid the full cost of her study. She became one of thousands of OU students whose fees were paid by employers who recognized the value of an OU education.“These courses are designed for CCPD rather than as part of a formal certificate,” said Kathy, an OU teacher. “We pay more attention to development rather than assessment (评估). Our role is to give them personal developmental advice, not a mark.”Paige is just one of 200,000 students who are learning at OU. CCPD itself is just a part of an organization that offers courses and qualifications in 360 subjects and has so far helped to develop the skills and knowledge of more than two million people.“Education does not stop with getting a degree,” said Charles Edwards, CCPD’s director. “In a fast-moving economy you cannot afford to rely on the degree you got some time ago. You must keep updating your knowledge.”For details on CCPD’s courses a nd to register with the 10% discount available to members, visit .69.

It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that ________.A. Paige has got promoted after learning CCPD’s coursesB. an OU education has been accepted by many employersC. Paige is the best employee in her companyD. most employers care for their employees72. According to the passage, CCPD’s courses focus on ________.A. assessment of learnersB. learners’ personal developm entC. the academic knowledge of learnersD. classroom learningE 难度：中A university is not just about careers and getting a well-paid job after graduation —it’s a place for learning about yourself and the world.So how to select a suitable university is of great importance. How do you decide on a schoolwhen there are thousands of them to pick from? Start by asking yourself questions about your preferences:•What are my strengths?•Am I interested in liberal arts or science or business?•What kind of learning environm ent is best for me?•Would I be more comfortable in a small school or a large one?•Do I want to stay close to home or live far away?•Would I prefer to be in a city environment or a small college town?•Do I like being with people who are mostly like me or do I want to meet a different group? Ask friends and older people who are in college about their schools and about other schools they’re familiar with. Talk to one of your teachers and go to college fairs when they visit your town.Once you’ve narrowed down your choices, ask the schools to send you related materials and visit their websites. When you’ve cut your list down to a manageable number, make arrangements to visit. Try to do this when the schools are having regular classes, so you can get a good idea of what life is really like on campus.And rem embe r: you’re not the only one making a decision. Schools are picking from a large pool of students. They want to know how excellent you are and what makes you stand out from everyone else. They will look at your school performance, test scores, and so on, so it’s important to devote time and effort to all these things.73. According to the passage, when deciding on a college you need NOT consider ______.A. in which aspect you are superior to othersB. what kind of people you’d like to meetC. what kind of college environment you likeD. whether the college has an exchange-student program74. When you have got a manageable number of choices, you’d better _______.A. visit the schools when they have regular classesB. ask the schools to send you related materialsC. go to college fairs with your friendsD. discuss them with your teachers75. The underlined part in the last paragraph means that ______.A. you can’t make the decision all by yourselfB. schools are also judging whether you’re qualified for themC. your school grades often play a role in choosing a collegeD. making a decision all by yourself is really hard第四部分写作(共两节，满分35分)第一节短文改错(共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)Dear Mary,I am sorry that you had a disagreement with your father.
