What that means is that as you're typing a message in Wave, either a new message or a reply, the person you’re writing to can see what you're typing as you type it. Sounds awful, right?You don’t have to use Wave in this real-time way. It also works as a standard e-mail. What’s really different about Wave is that ifyou’re replying to a message and the person you're replying to happen to be online, they can jump into the conversation at that point, and change what is an e-mail conversation into an instant message conversation or a chat.Wave right now is still closed to most users. And Wave isn't yet connected to other communication systems, like regular e-mail, which means that the only people we can Wave with are other people on Wave as well. So we don’t yet know what using Wave will be like once it gets crowded like e-mail. Also, the technology behind Wave is far more demanding on servers and the Internet itself than regular e-mail or chat, so we don’t know if the technology will work at scale.But Wave really is a current re-think of e-mail. A lot of people won’t like it. A lot of people didn’t like e-mail either when it first showed up. But people will find real uses for Wave or whatever it becomes, and it's one of the most interesting new takes on communication. Even if you don't like it, it will make you think differently about e-mail.36. What is special about Wave?A. It makes people see each other online.B. It enables people to send real-time e-mails.C. It allows you to send more e-mails at the same time.D. It can be easily connected to other communication systems.37. It is uncertain that Wave will work on a large scale because______.A. people cannot find practical uses for itB. it will be a challenge to regular e-mailC. the technology it needs is more complicatedD. many people do not understand how it works38. We know from the last paragraph that ______.A. Wave is a basis for face-to-face communication on lineB. Wave allows people to look at e-mail from a new angleC. most Internet users will have access to WaveD. Wave is now as popular as standard e-mail39. What is the author's attitude toward Wave?A. Optimistic.B. Indifferent.C. Pessimistic.D. Critical.Passage TwoWell, it could not have got better for young Kavya Shivashankar, a13-year-old student from Olathe, Kansas as she came out very successfully at the Scripps National Spelling Bee 2009 (2009全美拼写大赛). On Thursday night she defeated the other 11 finalists to win the 82nd Scripps National Spelling Bee, taking home more than $40,000 cash money along with other prizes.Kavya Shivashankar, whose parents migrated to the United States from India, and who aims to become a doctor, enjoys playing the violin, bicycling, swimming and learning Indian classical dance.Thing came a bit late in Kavya’s life since she could win the championship with her fourth appearance in the competition. The last three times when she had taken part in the same competition she had finished Tenth, Eighth and Fourth.However, this time Kavya proved her courage and determination by winning the title she had been competing for so long. Her last challenge was to spell out " Laodicean". The word" Laodieean" means one who is indifferent, mostly in religious matters. She spelled it correctly and a big smile appeared on her face. Kavya wrote the words on her palm each time and spelled every word correctly.After winning Kavya exelaimed," I can’t believe it happened It feels kind of unreal. " Her family was there to support her through the competition. Her father, Mirle Shivashankar said, "The competitiveness is in her.., but she doesn’t show that. She still has that smile. That’s her quality. " He went on to say that this was" the moment" they had been waiting for so long. It was like" a dream come true" for them.40. Who is Kavya Shivashankar?A.

Kavya was very good at expressing her feelingsD.

The image of a cabin represents his birthplace. Because Lincoln’s family was poor, and no one could have predicted his later importance, the actual cabin is long gone. Therefore the design is based on the "symbolic cabin" displayed at the Abraham Lincoln Birthplace National Historic Site in Kentucky.The other designs show Abraham taking a break to read a book, the young lawyer Lincoln in front of the Illinois state capitol and a Lincoln-free image of the half finished U. S. Capitol dome as it looked during his time in office. These four coins-produced with today’s standard mix of 97.5 percent zinc and 2.5 percent copper-are intended for general circulation.The Mint also released five collectible coins that sell for more than their face value. Special editions of the four penny designs were produced with the metal content used in 1909 ; a mix of 95 percent copper and 5 percent tin and zinc. In addition, in the world of "bigger" money,2009 has brought the Lincoln Commemorative One-Dollar Coin-made up of 90 percent silver and 10 percent copper-with an image that has a Gettysburg Address theme.44. What does Paragraph 2 tell about the cabin on the coins?A. It is a symbolic cabin rebuilt in Kentucky.B. It is newly built for producing new coins.C. It has been protected well for over 200 years.D. It is exactly the one where Lincoln was born.45. Special editions of the 4 collectible coins ______.A. are made of copper and silverB. sell at a price same as their face valueC. are likely to be used for circulation in the futureD. have different metal content from the one-dollar coin46.

Collectible Coins for Abraham LincolnPassage FourLaura and Anthony Valois are a young New York couple who have been trying in vain to have their first child. Several years ago, Belinda Ramirez read an Internet adoption listing and quickly contacted them from her home in Texas ,telling them they could adopt her unborn baby. Excited, Laura and Anthony spent weeks communicating with Ramirez and got regular updates on her pregnancy.Before long, Ramirez began to ask them for financial support. That took the Valoises by surprise. But they were willing to do a lot to ensure a smooth birth. They sent more than $1,000 to Ramirez over several months.Laura and Anthony finally drove to Texas so they could be on hand for the birth. But once they arrived,Ramirez avoided their daily phone calls. After three weeks, the couple drove back to New Yorkemptyhanded and emotionally crushed.They later learned Ramirez had been cheating about ten other peoplefor such things as Wal-mart gift cards in states ranging from California to Ohio to Florida. From start to finish, it was a scam.In fact, Ramirez was never even pregnant. She was sentenced to 24 months in prison as she deserved." When you find out you can’t have children, it’s just depressing, " Laura Valois told a Texas TV station. " But when somebody intentionally does this to you, it's 15 times worse. "48.

They warn that angry hostile feelings can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possible cancer.Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others explode with anger, and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing(压制) anger. For years many doctors thought that compared with expressing anger, repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health. It may speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure or sugar into the blood and narrow the blood vessels. To avoid these problems, doctors thought a person should let the anger out by expressing it freely. But recently some doctors disputed this. They said that people who express anger repeatedly and explosively did cause, in fact, more and not less anger. They said these too can cause medical problems.Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. Expressing anger intensively may be more likely to develop heart disease, and keeping anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger. They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it isn’t, they say," Don’t express your anger while angry. Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably. "Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.52. The passage mainly focuses on ______.A. the causes of angerB. the medical treatment of angerC. the health problems caused by angerD. reasonable ways of dealing with anger53. It can be concluded from the passage that ______.A. keeping anger inside is better than expressing it intensivelyB. both repressing and expressing anger cause health problemsC. keeping anger inside is more likely to cause heart diseaseD. expressing anger freely can avoid medical problems54. The author of the passage is most probably a(n) ______.A. patientB. editorC. psychologistD. surgeon55. According to the passage, a good way to control anger is ______.A. to do sportsB. to be high-spiritedC. to turn it into laughterD. to discuss it with doctorsⅤ.

For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneResearchers have found that REM (rapid eye movement) sleep is important to human beings. This type of sleep generally occurs four or five times during one night of sleep lasting five minutes to forty minutes for each occurrence. The deeper a person’s sleep becomes, the longer the periods of rapid eye movement.There are physical charges in the body to show that a person has changed from NREM (non-rapid eye movement) to REM sleep. Breathing becomes faster, the heart rate increases, and, as the name implies, the eyes begin to move quickly.Accompanying these physical changes in the body is a very important characteristic of REM sleep. It is during REM sleep that a person dreams.61. According to the passage, how often does REM sleep occur in one night?A. OnceB. TwiceC. Four of five timesD. Forty times62. The word “deeper” in paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to which of the following?A. heavier.B. louder.C. stronger.D. happier.63. Which of the following shows that a person is NOT dreaming in his sleep?A. His eyes begin to move.B. His breathing becomes faster.C. His heart rate increases.D. His eyes stop moving.64. The subject of this passage is ________.A. why people sleepB. the human need for REM sleepC. the characteristic of REM sleepD. physical changes in the human body65. Which of the following is the best title of the article?A. REM SleepB. Two Types of SleepC. SleepersD. What Happens to SleepersPassage TwoThe Mother Goose Stories, so well known to children all over the word, are commonly said to have been written by a little old woman for her grandchildren. According to some people, she lived in Boston, and her real name was Elizabeth Vergoose. Her son-in-law, a printer named Thomas Fleet, was supposed to have published the famous stories and poems for small children in 1719. However, no copy of this book has ever been found, and most scholars doubt the truth of this story—and doubt, moreover, that Mother Goose was ever a real person. They point out that the name is a direct translation of the French “Mere I’ Oye.” In 1697 the Frenchman Charles Perrault published the first book in which this name was used. The collection contains eight tales, including “Sleeping Beauty,” “Cinderella,” and “Puss in Boots.” But Perrault did not originate these stories; they were already quite popular in his day, and he only collected them.66. What is suppssed to have happened in 1719?Elizabeth Vergoose wrote the first Mother Goose Stories.Thomas Fleet published the Mother Goose Stories.The Mother Goose Stories were translated into French.Charles Perrault published the first Mother Goose Stories.67.

If depositors should come to fear that a bank is not safe, that it cannot pay off all its depositors, then that fear might cause all the depositors to appear on the same day. If they did, the bank could not pay all accounts. However, if they did not all appear at once, then there would always be enough money to pay those who wanted their money when they wanted it. Mrs. Elsie Vaught has told us of a terrifying bank run that she experienced. One day in December of 1925 several banks failed to open in a city where Mrs. Vaught lived. The other banks expected a run the next day, and so the officers of the bank in which Mrs Vaught worked as a teller had enough money on hand to pay off their depositors. The officers simply told the tellers to pay on demand. The next morning a crowd gathered in the bank and on the sidewalk outside. The length of the line made many think that the bank could not possibly pay off everyone. People began to push and then to fight for places near the telle rs’ windows, The power of the panic atmosphere was such that two tellers, though they knew that the bank was quite all right and could pay all depositors, drew their own money from the bank. Mrs Vaught says that she had difficulty keeping herself from doing the same.71. A bank run happens when _______.a bank is closed for one or more daystoo many depositors try to draw out their money at one timethere is not enough money to pay all its depositors at one timetellers of a bank take their own money from the bank72. The tellers in Mrs. Vaught’s bank were told to ________.explain why they could not pay out all accountspay out accounts as requestedmake the depositors believe that the bank was standpay out money as slowly as possible73. The main cause of a bank run is _______.A. loss of confidenceB. lack of moneyC. crowds of peopleD. inexperienced tellers74. Which of the following did Mrs. Vaught say?She know that the bank was not sound.She feared that too many depositors drawing their money would close the bank.She was not able to draw out her money.She was tempted to draw out her money.75. According to the passage, the actions of the depositors of Mrs. Vaught’s bank were affected mainly by the _______.ease with which they could get their moneyconfidence that Mrs. Vaught showedfailure of several other banks to openconfidence shown by other depositors of the bankPassage FourOne of the greatest problems for those settlers in Nebraska in the last quarter of the previous century was fuel. Little of the state was forested when the first settlers arrived and it is probable that by 1880, only about one-third of the originally forested area remained, down to a mere 1 percent of the state’s 77,000 square miles. With wood and coal out of the question, and with fuel needed year-round for cooking, and during the harsh winter months for heating, some solution had to be found.Somewhat improbably, the buffalo provided the answer. Buffalo chips (干粪块) were found to burn evenly, hotly, and cleanly, with little smoke and interestingly, no odor, Soon, collecting them became a way of life for the settlers’ children who would pick them up on their way to and from school, or take part in competitions designed to counteract their natural reluctance. Even a young man, seeking to impress the girl he wanted to marry, would arrive with a large bag of chips rather than with a box of candy or a bunch of flowers.76. What is the main topic of this passage?The solution to the Nebraska settlers’ fuel problem.Life in Nebraska in the late ninteenth century.The imporance of the American buffalo.Deforestation in Nebraska in the late nineteenth century.77. Which of the following statements is NOT true?Nebraska was not a densely-forested state even before the settlers arrived.The children enjoyed collecting the buffalo chips.The children spent a lot of time collecting the chips.Buffalo chips were satisfactory as a fuel.78.

Which of the following does the author not express surprise at?The children needed competitions to them.The buffalo chips gave off no smell.Buffalo chips were the answer to the settlers’ fuel problem.Young men took bags of buffalo chips to their girl friends.80. What’s the best title of the passage?A. Early SettlersB. One Use of the Buffalo ChipsC. Nebraska’s ProblemsD. How Young Men Express Their Love for GirlsⅤ.

For each of them there are four choices markedA, B, C and D. Read each passage carefully and decideon the best answer.Passage OnePeoplein the mass advertising business and other peoplewho study America n society have been very interes ted in the questio n: What does the America n consume r like? Max Lerner, a well-known scholar who has studied America n society, has said that America n consumers are particu larlyfond of three things:comfort, cleanli ness, and novelty.Lernerbelieve s that the America n love of comfort perhaps goes back to the frontie r experie nce. The pioneer s had a rough life on the frontie r and very few comfort s. This experie nce may have created a strongdesirein the pioneer s and their childre n for goods that would make life more comfort able. Today, the America ns’ love of comfort is seen in the way they furnish their homes, the way they designtheir cars, and the way they like to travel.Cleanliness is also highlyvaluedby America ns. There is a strongemphasis on keeping all parts of the body clean. Perhaps the Puritan (清教徒) heritage has playedsome role in the desirefor cleanliness. The Puritans, a strictProtest ant churchgroup who were among the first settler s of America, stresse d the need to cleanse the body of dirt and of all evil tendenc ies. The saying“Cleanli ness is next to Godline ss” reflect s the beliefof most America ns that it is importa nt to keep their bodiesclean by takinga bath and wearing clean clothes every day. Indeed,many America ns are offende d by anyonewho does not followtheir accepte d standar ds of cleanli ness.In additio n to cleanli ness and comfort, America ns love novelty. They love to have thingsthat are new and conveni ent. Perhaps the love of novelty comes from their pride in their inventi veness. America ns have alwaysbeen interes ted in inventi ng new product s and improvi ng old ones. They like to see changes in cars, clothin g, and product s for the home. New modelsof cars are particu larlyappeali ng. Adverti sement s encoura ge peopleto get rid of old cars and try new ones, whether the old ones still work or not. The America n economy seems to be based on consump tion, not conserv ation.61. The best title for the passage is ______. ( )A. What America n Consume rs LikeB. The Stupidi ty of the America n Consume rsC. America n Consume rs and Puritan Heritag eD. Frontie r Experie nce and Puritan Heritag e62. According to the author, the America n consume rs are fond of the following except______.( )A. comfort and cleanli nessB. novelty and conveni enceC. clean clothes and fine housesD. thriftand economy63. The American love of comfort can be shown in the way they ______. ( )A. love new modelsof carB. eat in fast-food restaur antsC. designtheir cars and furnish their homesD. wear clean clothes and take bath every day64. America ns’ love of cleanliness is believed to be associa ted with ______. ( )A. their livingstandar dB. their lifesty leC. their Puritan traditi onD. their advance d technol ogy65. In general, America ns are interes ted in the following EXCEPT______. ( )A. inventi ng new product sB. improvi ng old product sC. buyingthingsthat are popularD. buyingthingsthat are unknown beforePassage TwoThere are two kinds of memory: short-term and long-term. Informa tion in long-term memorycan be recalle d at a later time when it is needed. The informa tion may be kept for days or weeks. In contras t, information in short-term memoryis kept for only a few seconds, usually by repeating the informa tion over and over. The following experim ent shows how short-term memoryhas been studied.Henning studied how student s who are learnin g English as a secondlanguag e remembe r vocabul ary. The subject s in his experim ent were 75 college student s. They represe nted all levelsof ability in English: beginni ng, interme diate, advance d, and nativespeakin g student s.To begin with, the subjects listened to recording of a nativespeaker reading a paragra ph in English. Following the recording, the subject s took a 17-questio n test to see which words they remembe red. Eachquestio n had four choices. The subject s had to circle the word they had heard in the recordi ng. Some of the questio ns had four choices that sound alike. For example, weather, whether, wither, and wetterare four words that sound alike. Some of the questio ns had four choices that have the same meaning. Method, way, manner, and systemwould be four words with the same meaning. Finally, the subject s took a languag e profici ency test.Henning found that student s with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistake s on words that have the same meaning. Henning’s results suggest that beginning student s hold the sound of words in their short-term memory, and advance d students hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory.66. The purpose of Henning’s experim ent is to study ______. ( )A. how the student s remembe r English vocabulary by short-term memoryB. how the student s learn English vocabul aryC. how to improve the student s’ English vocabul aryD. how to take a languag e profici ency test67. The word “subject”in the passage most probably means ______. ( )A. the college coursethe student s takeB. the topic of the listeni ng materia lC. somethi ng being conside redD. the student s experim entedon68. Which of the following stateme nts is TRUE according to the passage? ( )A. Informa tion in short-term memoryis differe nt from that in long-term memory.B. Long-term memorycan be achieve d only by trainin g.C. It is easierto test short-term memorythan long-term memory.D. Henning gave a test on vocabul ary to his student s.69. From Henning’s results we can see that ______. ( )A. beginne rs have difficu lty disting uishin g the pronunc iation of wordsB. advance d student s remembe r words by their meaningC. it is difficu lt to remembe r words that sound alikeD. it is difficu lt to remembe r words that have the same meaning70. The passage is primarily about ______. ( )A. memoryB. two kinds of memoryC. short-term memoryD. an experim ent on studentsPassage ThreeStudy confirm s that moderat e drinkin g reduces stroke(中风) risk. Similar to the way a drink or two a day protect s against heart attacks, moderat e alcohol consump tion wards off strokes, a new study found.The study also found that the type of alcohol consume d—beer, wine or liquor—was unimpor tant. Any of them, or a combina tion was protect ive, researc hers reporte d in today’s Journal of the America n MedicalAssocia tion. “No study has shown benefit in recomme ndingalcohol to those who do not drink”, caution ed the authors, led by Dr. Ralph L. Sacco of Columbi a Univers ity College of Physici ans and Surgeon s in New York. But the new data support the guideli nes of the Nationa l StrokeAssocia tion, which say moderat e drinker s may protect themsel ves from strokes by continu ing to consume alcohol, the authors said.The protect ive effectof moderat e drinkin g against heart attacks is well established, but the data had been conflic ting about alcohol and strokes, the authors said. The new study helps settlethe questio n and is the first to find blacksand Hispanics (西班牙人和葡萄牙人) benefit as well as whites, according to the authors. Further researc h is neededamong other groups, such as Asian, who past study suggest ed may get no strokeprotect ion from alcohol or may even be put at greater risk.Among the groupswhere the protect ive effectexists, its mechanism appears to differfrom the protective effect against heart attacks, which occursthrough boostsin levelsof so-called“good”cholest erol (胆固醇), the authors said. They specula ted alcohol might protect against strokeby actingon some other blood trait, such as the tendency of blood platele ts (血小板) to clump (结块), which is key in forming the blood clots (血块) that can cause strokes.The researc hers studied677 New York residen ts who lived in the norther n part of Manhatt an and had strokes between July 1, 1993 and June, 1997. After takinginto account differe nces in other factors that could affectstrokerisk, such as high blood pressur e, the researc hers estimat ed that subject s who consume d up to two alcoholic drinksdaily were only half as likelyto have suffere d clot-type strokes as nondrin kers. Clot-type strokes account for 80% of all strokes, a leading cause of the US deathsand disability. Strokerisk increas ed with heavier drinkin g. At seven drinksper day, risk was almosttriplethat of moderat e drinker s.An expertspokesm an for the America n Heart Associa tion, who was not involve d in the study, said it was well-done and importa nt informa tion. But it shouldn’t be interpr eted to mean, “I can have two drinksand therefo re not worry about my high blood pressur e or worry about my cholest erol,”said Dr. Edgar J. Kenton, an associa te profess or of clinica l neurolo gy (神经学) at ThomasJeffers on Univers ity Medical College in Philadelphia. Instead, he said, the study provides good reasonto do further researc h and to add alcohol to the list of modifia ble (可更改的) risk factors for stroke.71. According to Dr. Sacco, ______. ( )A. differe nt wines work differe ntly on drinker s at strokeriskB. nondrin kers shouldalso consume a moderat e amountof alcoholC. drinker s shouldkeep to one kind of alcohol to ward off strokesD. moderat e alcohol consump tion protect s against strokes72. The new study conduct ed by Dr. Sacco and his colleagues is uniquein that ( )A. it refutes early studies on the protect ive effectof moderat e drinkin g against heart attacksB. it confirm s early studies of moderat e drinkin g against heart attacksC. it helps to resolve the dispute s over the effectof moderat e drinkin g against strokesD. it finds that moderat e drinkin g can benefit peopleof differe nt races equally well73. Which of the following stateme nts is TRUE about the effectof drinkin g against strokes? ( )A. Moderat e drinkin g protect s against heart attacks and strokes in differe nt ways.B. Even heavy drinker s sufferless chanceof a strokethan nondrin kers.C. Alcohol works only on patient s who sufferclot-type strokes.D. White peopleare more likelyto benefit from moderat e drinkin g than nonwhit es.74. From the fourthparagra ph we learn that ______. ( )A. heart attacks are more likelycausedy alcohol than stroke.B. moderat e drinkin g discour ages blood platele ts from clottin g.C. boostin g the levelsof good cholest erol can lead to heart attacks.D. moderat e drinkin g protect s peopleby makingthe blood cell clump.75. What is said in the last paragra ph by Dr. Kentonindicat es that ______. ( )A. he is in serious doubt about the validit y of the study.B. drinkin g alone can not protect against strokes.C. peopleshouldadd alcohol to their daily diet.D. the study has not built a link between drinkin g and high blood pressur e.Passage FourCommuni cation s technol ogiesare far from equal when it comes to conveyi ng the truth. The first study to compare honesty acrossa range of communi cation s media has found that peopleare twice as likelyto tell lies in phone convers ations as they are in emails. The fact that emailsare automat ically recorded - and can come back to haunt (困扰) you - appears to be the key to the finding.Jeff Hancock of Cornell Univers ity in Ithaca, New York, asked 30 student s to keep a communi cation s diary for a week. In it they noted the numberof convers ations or email exchang es they had lasting more than 10 minutes, and confess ed to how many lies they told. Hancock then workedout the numberof lies per conversationfor each medium. He found that lies made up 14 per cent of emails, 21 per cent of instant message s, 27 per cent of face-to-face interac tionsand an astonis hing 37 per cent of phone calls.His results, to be present ed at the confere nce on human-compute r interac tion in Vienna, Austria, in April, have surpris ed psychologists. Some expecte d emailer s to be the biggest liars, reasoning that because deception (欺骗) makes peopleuncomfo rtable, the detachm ent (非直接接触)of emailin g would make it easierto lie. Othersexpecte d peopleto lie more in face-to-face exchanges because we are most practic ed at that form of communi c ation.But Hancock says it is also crucial whether a convers ationis being recorde d and could be reread,andwhether it occursin real time. Peopleappearto be afraidto lie when they know the communi cation could later be used to hold them to account, he says. This is why fewer lies appearin email than on the phone.Peopleare also more likelyto lie in real time —in an instant message or phone call，say —than if they have time to think of a respons e, says Hancock. He found many lies are spontaneous (脱口而出的) responses to an unexpec ted demand, such as: “Do you like my dress?”Hancock hopes his researc h will help compani es work out the best ways for their employe es to communi cate. For instanc e, the phone might be the best mediumfor sales where employe es are encoura ged to stretch the truth. But given his results, work assessm ent, where honesty is a priorit y, might be best done using email.76. Hancock’s study focuses on ______. ( )A. the consequ encesof lying in various communi cation s mediaB. the success of communi cation s technol ogiesin conveyi ng ideasC. people’s prefere nces in selecti ng communi cation s technol ogiesD. people’s honesty levelsacrossa range of communi cation s media77. Hancock’s researc h finding surpris ed those who believe d that ______. ( )A. peopleare less likelyto lie in instant message sB. peopleare unlikely to lie in face-to-face interac tionsC. peopleare most likelyto lie in email communi cationD. peopleare twice as likelyto lie in phone convers ations78. According to the passage, why are peoplemore likelyto tell the truth through certain media of communication? ( )A. They are afraidof leaving behindtracesof their lies.B. They believe that honesty is the best policy.C. They tend to be relaxed when using those media.D. They are most practic ed at those forms of communi cation.79. According to Hancock, the telephone is a prefera ble mediumfor promoting sales because______. ( )A. salesme n can talk directl y to their custome rsB. salesme n may feel less restrai ned to exagger ateC. salesme n can impress custome rs as being trustwo rthyD. salesme n may pass on instant message s effecti vely80. It can be inferre d from the passage that ______. ( )A. honesty shouldbe encoura ged in interpe rsonal communi cation sB. more employe rs will use emailsto communi cate with their employe esC. suitabl e media shouldbe chosenfor differe nt communi cation purpose sD. email is now the dominan t mediumof communi cation withina companyPart IV Transla tion (15%)Directions A: Transla t e the following into Chinese.81.

湖南高速铁路职业技术学院论文题目：PLC简介及基本运用系部：铁道机电系专业：铁道机车车辆班级：1001姓名：施照银学号：201000001036指导老师：郝文琦时间：2012年5月摘要PLC可编程序控制器是以微处理器为基础,综合了计算机技术、自动控制技术和通讯技术发展而来的一种新型工业控制装置。
它具有结构简单、编程方便、可靠性高等优点,已广泛用于工业过程和位置的自动控制中。
据统计,可编程控制器是工业自动化装置中应用最多的一种设备。
专家认为,可编程控制器将成为今后工业控制的主要手段和重要的基础设备之一,PLC、机器人、CAD/CAM将成为工业生产的三大支柱。
由于PLC具有对使用环境适应性强的特性,同时其内部定时器资源十分丰富,可对目前普遍使用的“渐进式”信号灯进行精确控制,特别对多岔路口的控制可方便地实现。
因此现在越来越多地将PLC应用于交通灯系统中。
同时,PLC本身还具有通讯联网功能,将同一条道路上的信号灯组成一局域网进行统一调度管理,可缩短车辆通行等候时间,实现科学化管理.关键词：PLC 程序设计1.1 PLC的概述可编程控制器（Programmable Controller）是计算机家族中的一员，是为工业控制应用而设计制造的。
早期的可编程控制器称作可编程逻辑控制器（Programmable Logic Controller），简称PLC，它主要用来代替继电器实现逻辑控制。
随着技术的发展，这种装置的功能已经大大超过了逻辑控制的范围，因此，今天这种装置称作可编程控制器，简称PC。
但是为了避免与个人计算机（Personal Computer）的简称混淆，所以将可编程控制器简称PLC。
1.2PLC的特点（1）可靠性高，抗干扰能力强；（2）通用性高，使用方便；（3）程序设计简单，易学，易懂；（4）采用先进的模块化结构，系统组合灵活方便；（5）系统设计周期短；（6）安装简便，调试方便，维护工作量小；（7）对生产工艺改变适应性强，可进行柔性生产。

The threat of Intemet predators (窃掠者) is indeed a tough reality, 58 shutting down the site is not the answer. If 59 shut down, another site would quickly 60 its place. Therefore, the right way is to teach teens how to use the site safely and educate them 61 who maybe predators and how to 62 them.The key to 63 safe on the Intemet is to make sure that.Y0Ur profile (个人资料)is secure. The 64 way is to change the privacy setting on your profile to “private”, which protects your information 65 only the people on your friend list can'view it. Although this is.66, it is not perfect. Predators can find ways to view your profile if they really want to，67 through hacking in (黑客入侵) or figuring out their way onto your friend list. Thus, you should never post too much personal68. Some people actually post their home and school addresses, date of birth, and so on, often 69 predators know exactly where they will be and 70 .The most information that is safe is your first name and province. Anything more is basically 71 a predator into your life.Another big problem is photos. I suggest 72 skipping photos and never posting a photo of a friend online without his or her 73.Most important, never, 74 any 'circumstances, agree to a real-ife meeting with anyone you meet online, 75 how well you think you know this person.

北京地区成人本科学士学位英语统一考试2010.05.08(A卷)Part I Reading Comprehension (30%)Directions: There are three passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:The multi-billion-dollar Western pop music industry is under fire. It is being blamed by the United Nations for the dramatic rise in drug abuse worldwide, "The most worrying development is a culture of drug-friendliness," says the UN's International Narcotics Control Board in a report released last year.The 74-page study says the pop music, as a global industry, is by far the most influential trend-setter for young people of most cultures. "Some songs encourage people to take drugs. (78)Certain pop stars make statements and set examples as if the use of drugs for non-medicinal purposes were a normal and acceptable part of a person's lifestyle," the study says.Surprisingly, says the Board, the effect of drug-friendly pop music seems to survive despite the occasional shock of death by overdose(过量用药). "Such incidents end to be seen as an occasion to mourn (哀悼) the loss of a role model, and not an opportunity to face the deadly effect of drug use," it notes. Since the 1970s, several internationally famous singer and movie stars—including Elvis Presley, JaniceJophlin, John Belushi, Jimi Hendrix, Jonathan Melvin and Andy Gibbs—have died of either drug abuse or drug related illnesses. With the globalization of popular music, messages promoting drug abuse are now reaching beyond their countries of origin. "In most countries, the names of certain pop stars have become familiar to the members of every household," the study says.The UN study also blames the media for its description of certain drug incidents, which encourages rather than prevents drug abuse. "Over the past years, we have seen how drug abuse is increasingly regarded as being acceptable or even attractive," says Hamid Ghodse, president of the Board. "Powerful pressure groups run political campains aimed at legalizing controlled drugs," he says. Ghodse also points out that all these developments have created an environment which is tolerant (容忍的) of or even favorable to drug abuse and spoils international drug prevention efforts currently under way.The study focuses on demand reduction and prevention within an environment that has become tolerant of drug abuse. The Board calls on governments to do their legal and moral duties, and to act against the pro-drug(赞成吸毒)messages of the youth culture to which young people increasingly are being exposed.1. Which of the following statements does the author tend to agree with?A. The use of drugs for non-medicinal purposes is an acceptable part of a person's lifestyle.B. The spreading of pop music may cause drug abuse to beyond country boundaries.C. No efforts have been made to prevent the spreading of drug abuse.D. Governments have no ability at act against the pro-drug messages of the youth culture.2. The expression "under fire" in the first paragraph means ________.A. in an urgent situationB. facing some problemsC. being criticizedD. in trouble3. From the third paragraph, we learn that the youth ________.A. tend to mourn the pop stars who died of overdose as role modesB. are shocked to know even pop stars may abuse drugsC. try to face the deadly effect of drug useD. may stop abusing drugs4. Which of the following is not mentioned as tolerant of drug abuse?A. The spreading of pop music.B. The media.C. Political campaigns run by powerful pressure groups.D. The low price of some drugs.5. According to the passage, pop music ________A. has a great influence on young people of most culturesB. attracts a small number of young peopleC. is not a profitable industryD. is alone responsible for drug abusePassage 2Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:There are many older people in the world and there will be many more. A little-known fact is that over 60 percent of the older people live in developing countries. According to the World Health Organization, by 2020 there will be 1 billion, with over 700 million living in developing countries.It is a surprising fact that the population ageing is particularly rapid in developing countries. For example, it took France 115 years for the proportion of older people to double from 7 percent to 14 percent. It is estimated to take China a mere 27 years to achieve this same increase.What are the implications of these increased numbers of older folk?(76) One of the biggest worries for governments is that the longer people live, the more likelihood there is for diseases and for disability(残疾). Attention is being paid to the need to keep people as healthy as possible, including during old age, to lessen the financial burden on the state.(77)Another significant problem is the need for the younger generations to understand and value the older people in their society. In some African countries, certainly in Asia, older people are respected and regarded as the ones with special knowledge. Yet traditions are fading away daily, which does not ensure the continued high regard of older people. As society changes, attitudes will change.Much needs to be done to get rid of age discrimination(歧视)in employment. Life-long learning programs need to be provided to enable older people to be active members in a country's development.Social security policies need to be established to provide adequate income protection for older people. Both public and private schemes are vital in order to build a suitable safety net.6. The proportion of older people________.A. is bigger in developed countries than in developing countriesB. is one-seventh of the population in developing countriesC. will increase much faster in China than in FranceD. will be sixty percent in developing countries by 20207. According to passage, which of the following are governments most worried about?A. The diseases and disability of older people.B. The longer life and good health of people.C. The loss of taxes on older people.D. The increasing respect for older people.8. It is stated directly in the passage that older people should ________.A. be treated differently in different culturesB. enjoy a similar lifestyleC. be ignored as society changesD. be valued by the yonger generations9. Which of the following measure is NOT mentioned to solve the population ageing problem?A. Getting rid of age discrimination in employment.B. Ensuring adequate income protection for older people.C. Ensuring adequate income protection for older people.D. Providing free health care for sick older people.E. Supplying life-long learning programs to older people.10. The author concludes in the last paragraph that ________.A. governments have spent lots of time in solving the ageing problemB. population ageing is a hard problem, but it needs to be solved urgentlyC. people are too busy to solve the population ageing problemD. much time and effort will be lost in solving the ageing problemPassage 3Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:(79)Extensive new studies suggest that the world has made extraordinary progress in reducing poverty in recent decades. The research suggests that the pace of economic progress has been rapid and continued for decades, built on the foundations of relative political stability, rising trade, and economic liberalization(自由化)after two world wars. One new study, published recently by the Institute for International Economics in Washington, find that the proportion of the 6.1 billion people in the world who live on $1 a day or less shrank from 63 percent in 1950 to 35 percent in 1980 and 12 percent in 1999. by some other measures, the progress has been more modest. Still, economists agree that poverty has plunged in key nations such as India and especially China, thanks to slowing population growth as well as economic freedom. "This is a huge success for the world as a whole," says Harvard University economist Richard Cooper. "We are doing something right."The news comes as the World Bank is about to open its annual meeting in Washington- an event that has been troubled in recent years by protests that the Bank and its sister Institution, the International Monetary Fund(IMF国际货币组织)， have done too little for the world's poor. (80)The new economic research will not put an end to that dispute. Vast populations remain poor, and many still question the wisdom of World Bank policies. Nonetheless, the research findings are helpful to understand what policies should be followed by those institutions and hundreds of other development groups working very hard to hasten the pace of world economic progress. If dramatic gains are under way, the present policies-calling for open markets, free business activities, and tight monetary control-are working and correct.But critics of IMF and World Bank policies maintain that such economic success stories as Japan, China, South Korea and Singapore are rooted in more than just "free"markets. These nations have managed to grow rapidly, and thereby reduce poverty, by limiting imports when their domestic industries were young, pushing exports to rich nations, and putting controls on purely international financial flows. The have been open to foreign-owned factories but have often insisted that those investors share the knowledge and skill on modern technologies.11. The word "plunged" in the first paragraph means ________.A. decreasedB. climbedC. increasedD. dropped into water12. From the passage, we learn that ______.A. World Bank has done nothing to help the poor in the worldB. IMF only helps the rich in the worldC. World Bank controls all the banks in the worldD. There are some demonstrations against World Bank in recent years13. According to this passage, in _____, the world had the largest number of poor people.A. 1999B. 1980C. 1950D. 199014. According to the author, the economy of East Asian countries grew very fast because of the following measures EXCEPT ______.A. encouraging exportB. opening up to foreign investmentsC. limiting international financial flowsD. controlling import15.

Each with four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the ONE you think is the best answer.Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage OneAdvertisement can be thought of "as the means of making known in order to buy or sell goods or services". Advertisement aims to increase people'sawareness and arouse interest, it tries to in-form and to persuade. The media are all used to spread the message. The press offers a fairly cheap method, and magazines are used to reach special sections of the market. The cinema and commercial radio are useful for local market. Television, although more expensive, can be very effective. Public notices are fairly cheap and more permanent in their power of attraction.Other ways of increasing consumer interest are through exhibitions and trade fairs as well as direct mail advertisement. There can be no doubt that the growth in advertisement is one of the most striking features of the western world in this century. Many businesses such as those handling frozen foods, liquor, tobacco and medicines have been built up largely by advertisement. We might ask whether the cost of advertisement is paid for by the producer or by the customer. Since advertisement forms part of the cost of production, which has to be covered by the selling price, it is clear that it is the customer who pays for advertisement. However, if large scale advertisement leads to increased demand, production costs are reduced, and the customer pays less.It is difficult to measure exactly the influence of advertisement on sales. When the market is growing, advertisement helps to increase demand. When the market is shrinking, advertisement may prevent a bigger fall in sales than would occur without its support. What is clear is that businesses would not pay large sums for advertisement if they were not convinced of its value to them.21、 Advertisement is often used to ______.A. deceive customersB. increase productionC. arouse suspicionD. push the sale22、 The word "media" (in the first paragraph) includes ______.A. the pressB. televisionC. radioD. all of the above23、 Advertisement is mainly paid for by ______.A. the customerB. the producerC. increased salesD. reduced prices24、 Advertisement can increase demand ______.A. at the timeB. in any circumstancesC. in a growing marketD. in a shrinking market25、 From the last sentence of this passage we conclude that ______.A. businesses usually do not pay much for advertisementB. businessmen know well that advertisement could bring them more profitsC. advertisement could hardly convince people of the value of the goodsD. advertisement usually cost businesses large amounts of money Passage TwoAnother thing an astronaut has to learn about is eating in space. Food is weightless, just as men are. Food for space has to be packed in special ways. Some of it goes into tubes that a man can squeeze into his mouth. Bite-sized cookies are packed in plastic.There is a good reason for covering each bite. The plastic keeps pieces of food from traveling in the spaceship. On the earth very small pieces of food would simply fall to the floor. But gravity doesn't pull them to the floor when they are out of the plastic in a spaceship. They move here and there and can get into a man's eyes or into the spaceship's instruments. If any of the instruments is blocked, the astronauts may have trouble getting safely home.As astronauts travel on longer space trips, he must take time to sleep.An astronaut can fit himself to his seat with a kind of seat belt. Or, if he wants to, he can sleep in a sleeping bag which is fixed in place under his seat. But be careful he must put his hands under the belt when he goes to sleep. This is because he is really afraid that he might touch one of controls that isn't supposed to be touched until later.26、 Why would astronauts cover each bite of food in space?A. Because small pieces of food would fall down to the floor.B. Because weightless pieces of food might make trouble when they travel around.C. Because they haven't enough food for longer trips.D. Because astronauts don't want to waste food.27、 In a spaceship, astronauts can ______.A. walk just as they do on the earthB. not eat anything because it's dangerousC. control the spaceship when they are sleepingD. not litter small things or it will make trouble28、 In what way is food for space packed?A. Very small pieces of food are put on the floor.B. Some of it is put into tubes.C. Small-sized cookies are packed in plastic.D. Both B and C.29、 Why does an astronaut put his hand under his belt when he sleeps?A. Because he thinks it is comfortable to sleep in that way in space.B. Because he doesn't want to touch any controls when he sleeps.C. Because the instruments of the spaceship are easily broken.D. Because he is afraid that the seat will move.30、 The best title of this article is ______.A. Eating and Sleeping in SpaceB. How Astronauts Eat in SpaceC. Food for SpaceD. How Astronauts Sleep in SpacePassage ThreeHow can we get rid of garbage? Do we have enough energy sources to meet our future energy needs?These are two important questions that many people are asking today. Some people think that man might be able to solve both problems at the same time. They suggest using garbage as an energy source, and at the same time it can save the land to hold garbage.For a long time, people buried garbage or dumped (倾倒) it on empty land. Now, empty land is scarce. But more and more garbage is produced each year. However, garbage can be a good fuel to use. The things in garbage do not look like coal, petroleum, or natural gas; but they are chemically similar to these fossil (化石) fuels. As we use up our fossil fuel supplies, we might be able to use garbage as an energy source.Burning garbage is not a new idea. Some cities in Europe and the United States, have been burning garbage for years. The heat that is produced by burning garbage is used to boil water. The steam that is produced is used to make electricity or to heat nearby buildings. In Paris France, some power plants burn almost 2 million metric tons of the cities garbage each year. The amount of energy produced is about the same as would be produced by burning almost a half million barrels of oil.Our fossil fuel supplies are limited. Burning garbage might be one kind of energy source that we can use to help meet our energy needs. This method could also reduce the amount of garbage piling up on the earth.31、 What two problems can man solve by burning garbage?A. The shortage of energy and air pollution.B. The shortage of energy and the land to hold garbage.C. Air pollution and the shortage of fossil fuel.D. Air pollution and the shortage of land to hold garbage.32、 Which of the following is not the result of burning garbage?A. The garbage burned is turned into fossil fuels.B. The heat produced is used to boil water.C. The steam produced is used to make electricity.D. The steam produced is used to heat buildings.33、 According to the passage which of the following is NOT tree?A. About 2 million metric tons of garbage is burned in some power plants in Paris, France each year.B. In a modem society, more and more garbage is produced each year.C. Using garbage is a good way to solve the problem of energy shortage.D. It will be too expensive to use garbage as an energy source.34、 What is the author's attitude?A. Delighted.B. Sad.C. Agreeing.D. Disagreeing.35、 The best title for the passage may be ______.A. Garbage and the EarthB. Fossil Fuel and GarbageC. Land and GarbageD. Garbage Energy Source Passage FourA lawyer friend of mine has devoted herself to the service of humanity. Her special area is called "public interest law".Many other lawyers represent only clients who can pay high fees. All lawyers have had expensive and highly specialized training, and they work long, difficult hours for the money they earn. But what happens to people who need legal help and cannot afford to pay these lawyers' fees?Public interest lawyers fill this need. Lisa, like other public interest lawyers, earns a salary much below what some lawyers can earn. Because she is willing to take less money, her clients need the help, even if they can pay nothing at all.Some clients need legal help because stores have cheated them with faulty merchandise. Others are in unsafe apartments, or are threatened with eviction(驱逐，赶出) and have no place to go to. Their cases are called "civil" cases. Still others are accused of criminal acts, and seeking those public interest lawyers who handle "criminal" cases. These are just a few of the many situations in which men and women who are public interest lawyers serve to extend justice throughout our society.36、 A person who needs and uses legal help is called a ______.A. lawyerB. clientC. tenantD. caseworker37、 Public interest lawyers serve ______.A. only stores and landlordsB. criminals onlyC. people .who can-pay high feesD. people who can pay little or nothing38、 If only the rich could be helped by lawyers, the justice system would be ______.A. undemocraticB. fair and reasonableC. modemD. in need of no changes39、 Public interest law includes ______.A. civil cases onlyB. criminal cases onlyC. criminal and civil casesD. wealthy clients cases40、 Which of the following is not a matter for civil case?A. A tenant is faced with eviction.B. A landlord refuses to fix a dangerous staircase.C. A burglar is arrested.D. A store sells a faulty radio.Part Ⅲ ClozeDirections:There are 10 blanks in the following passage. For each blank there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the ONE answer that best fits into the passage. Then mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Tourism has become a very big 41 . For Spain, Italy and Greece it is thelargest 42 of foreign exchange, and even for Britain, it is the fourth.Faced with this hug new income, no government can afford to look 43 on the business; questions of hotel bath rooms, beach umbrellas and ice-cream sales are now discussed by ministers of tourism with solemn expertise. Before the Second World War the tourist industry was widely regarded as being unmanly and stupid. But tourism has become a new industry, as trade businessused 44 ; in Spain, Italy, Greece and much of Eastern Europe, new road systems have opened up in the country, first to tourists, and then to industry and locals.Much of tourism is a nationalized industry, a 45 part of national planning. In a place west of Marseilles, the French government is killing mosquitoes and building six big vacation places to 46 nearly a million tourists. In Eastern Europe, a whole new seaside 47 has sprungup 48 the last few years: the governments have greatly 49 whentourists from the West 50 from half a million four years ago to nearly two million last year.41、 A. firm B. business C. company D. affair42、 A. factor B. resource C. source D. cause43、 A. up B. at C. for D. down44、 A. be done B. done C. to do D. to doing45、 A. key B. minor C. linking D. questioning46、 A. attract B. pull C. hold D. contain47、 A. civilization B. culture C. writing D. book48、 A. over B. for C. after D. beyond49、 A. suffered B. lost C. invested D. benefited50、 A. added B. divided C. reduced D. multiplied第Ⅱ卷非选择题Part Ⅳ Translation from English into ChineseDirections:Read the following passage carefully. Then translate the underlined sentences marked from 51-55 into Chinese. You should write your translation on the Answer Sheet.Thanks to the means of modern transportation and communication, the world is getting smaller. The whole world community appears to be no more than a large global village, where the people of different nations come together with different cultural backgrounds and values. 51 While engaging themselves in cultural exchange, they seek common development in a harmonious and respectful relationship.52 Cultural exchange is by no means a process of losing one's own culture toa foreign culture, but one of enriching each other's national cultures.Through cultural exchange, different cultures can absorb and influence one another. We should adopt the principle of eliminating the false and retaining the true, discarding the dross and selecting the essential, exporting more and importing the best, and resisting corruptive influences. 53 I believe that different cultures can learn from each other's strengths to offset their own weaknesses and complement one another.54 While absorbing the essence of a foreign culture, we should not be content with imitation without creation. An obsession with simple imitation will sterilize creation, and as such it will be impossible for us to scale new heights in art and impossible to present to the world excellent works of our own creation. Simple imitation is by no means equivalent to novelty and originality. On the contrary, novelty and originality result from the combination of modern and traditional styles, the combination of the distinctive features of foreign countries and those of our own nation, and the combination of artistry and education.55 The culture of a nation must withhold its own distinctive national characteristics in its extensive exchange with other cultures, and make contributions to the development of human civilization.Part Ⅴ Writing56、Directions:For this part, you are required to write a composition on the topic "A Friend to Remember". You should write at least 120 words, and your composition should be based on the outline given in Chinese below and write your composition on the Answer Sheet.1．简要地介绍你的一位朋友；2．你怀念他/她的原因。

AAfter working long hours on her feet everyday in the operating room,Taryn Rose'knew a lot about foot pain.But unlike most of her colleagues(同事),she turned her pain into money:Today she is the boss of Taryn Rose International,a$528million company that makes nice and comfortable shoes.At the beginning,Rose realized the only thing that could stop her was fear of failure."I could hear my friends and family saying,'Why did you leave a good job?'If I failed,would I be okay facing them?And:t thought,'So what?I can go back for further study in medicine.'I started to accept that it would be okay to say,'I failed,but I tried.'Once I was comfortable with that the fight, the fear came to an end.I realized I feared regret more than failure.And after you turn to the path you choose,there is nothing acceptable but Success"Now,Rose has no regrets about leaving medicine."What I'm doing is not all that different from what I was doing as a doctor.The goal is the same:to relieve(减轻)pain.A former professor told me:'You're helping hundreds of thousands of women with your shoes.As a doctor,you would have helped only the few who went to your office.You're having a much greater effect.'Looking back,Rose admits she caught a couple of lucky breaks."To me,luck is about being prepared for those opportunities(机会)that come knocking.You have to have an open mind,the right skills and all your senses working'to see what opportunities present themselves.Luck can open the door,but you still have to walk through it."36.Before starting her shoe business,Taryn Rose was aA.nurseB.workerC.doctorD.boss37.Rose realized later was the most fearful for her to have or face in her job change.A.failureB.regretC.familyD.colleagues38.What did her former professor think about

difficult.39.Which of the following can best explain the last sentence in the passage?A.You have to do what you can after luck brings you opportunities.B.You should open the door when opportunities come to you.C.You have to be prepared for walking through the door.D.You should open your eyes to see opportunities clearly.BLast fall was a first-of-its-kind season.I did not arrange(安排)any after-school classes for my children.No swimming.No music lessons.No play dates.Nothing.Once they finished their homework,they were free to do what they pleased,but only one hour of TV.In the beginning,my sons,Ben,11,and Nick,9,were anxious about this sudden,官方网址:unplanned freedom.I had to,push them out of the door with a ball,a bike,and so on."Play!”I ordered.I learned that this new plan takes time,patience and a lot of faith in the theory that having excellent grades isn't really important.When my older kids,now in college and high school,were young,I brought in the rules of modern parenting.They are unspoken,but followed carefully.First,you must let your child have a variety of activities.After all,you never know where you'll find a genius(天才).Second,if the child shows the slightest talent(才能),the activity must be pushed with lessons,special coaching (辅导)and practice of several days a week.Every minute should be taken and every minute has a purpose.That was really too much for my children.Now with the new plan,we told stories,we listened to music.And the kids played with bikes, balls,and whatever was handy.Nobody kept score.In fact,the boy played outside so much that the lawn was worn down to the soil in places.They've made friends with those who come from all over the neighborhood to play games.We like those peaceful evenings.Ben and Nick have a good time this fall,may be that's because the time off has allowed us to enjoy each other's company.40.What was new for the family last fall?A.The children began to learn music when school was over.B.The writer arranged no'extra lessons for the children.C.The writer found no time to play with the sons.D.The children had nothing to do alter school41.At the beginning of that season the childrenA.hated to spend more time on their homeworkB.felt excited about making their own decisionsC.were pleased to have more freedomD;were worried about the change42.According to“modern parenting"discussed in Paragraph4,parents shouldA.make use of every minute to be with the childrenB.provide coaching and practice for each,activity.C.try ex,cry means to find a child's real talentD.know the rules but never talk about them43.From the passage we learn thatA.children like story’telling more than bike-ridingB.parents should teach their children how to make a planC.children should have time to enjoy themselves after schoolD.parents can enjoy their evenings when children play with othersCA woman heads into a popular New York City coffee shop on a cold winter rooming.Just ahead of her,a man drops a few papers.The woman pauses to help gather them.A clerk at busy store thanks a customer who has just bought something."Enjoy"the young woman says,smiling widely.官方网址:"Have a nice day."She sounds like she really means it.These are the common situations we may see every:day.However,in her best-selling book Talk to the Hand,Lynne Truss argues that common good manners such as saying"Excuse me"almost no longer exist.There are certainly plenty who would agree with her.According to one recent study,70percent of the U.S.adults(成年人)said people are ruder now than they were20years ago.Is it really true?We decided to find out if good manners are really hard to see.In this politeness study,reporters were sent to many cities in the world.They performed three experiments:"door tests"(would anyone hold the door open for them?);"paper drops"(who would help them gather a pile of"accidentally"dropped papers?);and"service tests"(which salesclerks would thank them for a purchase[购物])In New York,60tests(20of each type)were done.Along the way,the reporters met all types of people:men and women of different races,ages,professions(职业),and income levels.And guess what?In the end,four out of every five people they met passed their:politeness test making New York the most polite city in the study.44.What does Lynne Truss argue in Talk to the Hand?A.People are not as polite as they used to.B."Excuse me"is not welcome nowadays.C.Of all the adults in the US70%are rude,D.People don't care about manners any more.45.What is TRUE about the politeness study discussed in the passage?A.The study was reported in many cities of the world.B.New York was the most suitable city for the experiment.C.Sixty tests were designed to see if people are polite to each other.D.Experiments were performed to see if common good manners exist.46.What is found in the study?A.More people passed the tests in New York than in any other cities.B.Different kinds of people acted differently in the New York tests.C.Four out of five people passed the politeness test in the study.D.Many people in the experiment passed the tests by guessing.DThis is not a diet(减肥食谱)or a hard~exercise program.Nobody can stick to those for long. Instead,it's a simple way to make weight loss a natural part of the life you already live.And guess what?It's fun!You don't have to give up the foods you love or do regular exercises.It's about balancing calories(平衡卡路里)in tiny ways that add up to big benefits(好处).You just use some tricks the"naturally thin"people do.Pick the ones you like,stick with them,and you'll lose weight and be strong!Talk it up Every time you pick up the phone,stand up and walk around.Heavy people sit on average two and a half hours more every day than thin people,according to a study.Get face time.We use e-mail so much that we've forgotten what our colleagues look like.官方网址:Pick a colleague or two who sit farthest from you:and deliver10of those daily messages in person.And go out of your way:go to a bathroom or a copy machine on another floor and take the stairs,of course.Think about your drink Consider beer or wine instead of a frozen drink:A glass of regular beer has140calories and a serving of wine has126calories,while a strawberry daiquiri has about300 and a margarita340.Reduce a total of100calories each day and you'll be able to lose about10pounds in a year. This is really not difficult to do.47.What is mainly talked about in the passage?A.How to do exercises daily.B.How to lose weight easily.C.How to work comfortably.D:How to eat and drink regularly.48.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.Thin people sit fewer hours daily than heavy people.B.People deliver messages to their colleagues in person.C.More people walk around when they talk on the phone.D.Heavy people make longer phone calls than thin people,49.What does the writer mean by“face time”in Paragraph3?A.Time for getting to know each other.B.Time for sharing ideas face to face.C.Time for doing small jobs,D.Time for sharing ideas face to face50.Which of the following probably has the most calories?A.Strawberry daiquiri.B.Regular beer.C.Margarita:D.Wine.五补全对话(共5句；每句满分为3分，共15分。
