Have you ever found yourself completely disgusted by your own performance during a job interview? I have, and it was all my own fault. Here’s my worst job interview experience, along with some of the lessons I’ve learned since.Several years ago I wanted to be a federal officer. So I applied for several job openings, went through written tests and even managed to get an interview. I was very excited and felt prepared for anything. When I went in for the interview, I felt almost invincible.That feeling lasted until they started asking me for specific examples of experience, particularly those dealing with teamwork and communication. My job at the time was almost all teamwork, yet, I blanked on examples. I lamely answered those questions by explaining that my previous job required teamwork and communication all the time without any detail. In my experience, most interviewers will ask for a specific example at some point and they wan t to know exactly how you dealt with the issue. You’d better go over some examples concerning your abilities before the interview and this might help you avoid going blank on those questions.Another question they asked was, “What is your biggest weakness?” I gave the overused,canned answer of, “I’m a perfectionist, and it’s such a problem.” However, the old “make your weakness sound like strength” trick is clichéd, and failed me miserably. I actually saw one of my interviewers roll his eyes.Intervi ewers don’t want to hear that you’re a perfectionist. Too many people say that. Here’s how that works: Regardless of the job, think of a skill you have, but aren’t great at, that may be related but not important to the position you’re seeking. Explain how you want to improve and what you’re doing. It shows your desire to grow, along with an understanding that you’re human.There will always be questions that can rattle you during the job interview, but as long as you are well-prepared and always remain true to yourself, you will find the right job eventually! （10分）(1) The author applied for several jobs and got an interview successfully. （2分）错误正确☆考生答案：正确★考生得分：2 分评语：(2) The author gave several vivid examples about his work during the interview. （2分）错误正确☆考生答案：错误★考生得分：2 分评语：(3) The interviewee should always prepare some examples regarding his abilities before the interview. （2分）错误正确☆考生答案：正确★考生得分：2 分评语：(4) The interviewers were satisfied with the author’s answer to the question “what is your biggest weakness?”（2分）错误正确☆考生答案：错误★考生得分：2 分评语：(5) During the interview, the interviewee should always know how to make his weakness sound like strength. （2分）错误正确☆考生答案：错误★考生得分：2 分评语：2. A professor stood before his class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full.They agreed that it was.The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full.The students res ponded with a unanimous “yes”.The professor then produced two Beers from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.“Now,” said the professor as the laughter subsided, “I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things: your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions. And if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The sand is everything else — the small stuff like your job, your house and your car. If you put the sand into the jar first, there is no room for the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Take care of the golf balls first — the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.”One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the Beer represented.The professor smiled and said, “I’m glad you asked. The Beer just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there’s always room for a couple of Beers with a friend.”（10分）(1) There was no room left when the sand filled up the jar. （2分）错误正确☆考生答案：错误★考生得分：2 分评语：(2) The teacher told the students that the jar was similar to the life. （2分）错误正确☆考生答案：错误★考生得分：0 分评语：(3) Besides your family and your health, golf, as a kind of exercises, is another important thing in your life. （2分）错误正确☆考生答案：错误★考生得分：2 分评语：(4) If you set small stuff priorities, you’ll lose some important things in your life.（2分）错误正确☆考生答案：正确★考生得分：2 分评语：(5) The Beer means you can share times with your friends. （2分）错误正确☆考生答案：正确★考生得分：2 分评语：五. 阅读理解选择（共20题,共40分）1. “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life”, said Confucius. Everyone wants to come back home and sleep stress free after a whole day’s work. So what are the jobs which provide the greatest satisfaction? Here’s a list of the most satisfying professions across the globe.Author: It is one of the professions that allow you to express your views without much limitation. Words are a powerful expression of thoughts that can stir all the emotions. And one of the biggest advantages of being an author is living a new life every single day in a world of their own.Artist: The people working in this field are the most happy of all. This is the profession that proves how job satisfaction and money are the two sides of the same coin. Creativity, flexibility and freedom are all available for an artist. When an artist is lost in the universe of imagination, the rest of the world is missing out.Psychologist: Being one of the most wonderful careers on the planet, psychology uncovers the mysterious sides of a human’s life. The amou nt of joy received from uncovering the reasons behind one’s attitude is simply beyond words to explain. It is a job that requires a lot of patience, but patience pays off.Teacher: Teaching is one of the noblest professions and earns a lot of respect. The process of showing a path to someone, to enlighten a soul, and to make them self-aware leads to a close bond with each other. And this is also the profession with maximum job security, even at the time of recession.Social Worker: To find happiness in someone else’s happiness, to improve the quality of one’s life, to safeguard their rights and to support them through difficult times is the work of a social worker. Needless to say, the amount of satisfaction derived from extending a helping hand to those in need provides satisfaction that can not be matched at all. （10分）(1) What is the biggest advantage of being an author? （2分）A.Earning much money.B.Having high social position.C.Making more friends.D.Living different life every day.☆考生答案：A★考生得分：0 分评语：(2) What are the two sides of being an artist? （2分）A.Having both happiness and money.B.Having both money and satisfaction.C.Having both freedom and money.D.Having both satisfaction and freedom.☆考生答案：C★考生得分：0 分评语：(3) What does the job of psychologist require most? （2分）A.Time.B.Energy.C.Knowledge.D.Patience.☆考生答案：B★考生得分：0 分评语：(4) Which job has the maximum job security? （2分）A.Author.B.Artist.C.Teacher.D.Social Worker.☆考生答案：D★考生得分：0 分评语：(5) Which of the following is NOT inclu ded for the social worker’s work?（2分）A.To help people earn more money.B.To safeguard people’s rights.C.To support people in need through difficult times.D.To help people improve the quality of life.☆考生答案：C★考生得分：0 分评语：2.

Alfred Nobel, a chemist, a great inventor and a peace-lover, was born on October 21, 1833 in Sweden. A little over a year before he died, he wrote his will and left about 94 percent of his money to the founding of five prizes, including physics, chemistry, medicine, literature and peace. According to Nobel’s will, the Peace Prize should be awarded to peace-lovers and those who have done the most or the best work for the peace of the world in the last years. Unluckily, Alfred did not see peace in his time. He died alone on December 10, 1896 suffering great pain.In his will, Nobel did not leave an explanation why he founded a prize for peace. The prizes for chemistry and physics were easy to be seen as he was a trained chemical engineer. But the reason behind the peace prize is less clear. According to some people, his friendship with Bertha Von Suttner may have deeply influenced his decision to include peace as one of the prizes. She is a peace activist and the first woman peace prize winner. But some others said because Nobel had some dangerous inventions, the peace prize was Nobel’s way to make up for the possible damage. But no one has got an answer for sure.It is also unclear, while the other four Nobel prizes were managed in Sweden, why Nobel wished the Peace Prize to be managed in Norway instead. Some experts reasoned at the time of Nobel’s death, Sweden was controlling Norway by force, so Nobel might consider Norway a better place for the peace prize.The Peace Prize has been awarded for more recent or immediate achievements than the other four Nobel prizes. Before World War I, the prize was often awarded to pioneers of the organized peace movements and active politicians working for international peace and agreements. Since World War II, the Peace Prize winners have been selected from areas like arms control, peace talk, human rights and work aimed at creating a better organized and more peaceful world. （10分）(1) Alfred Nobel is all but a(n) ___________. （2分）A.chemistB.scientistC.engineerD.peace prize winner☆考生答案：D★考生得分：2 分评语：(2) What may be the most possible reason for the founding the Peace Prize? （2分）A.Nobel wanted Bertha Von Suttner to share his money.B.Nobel was a scientist and wanted to praise other scientists.C.Nobel wanted to do something for the peace of the world.D.Nobel had a lot of money and had no son or daughter.☆考生答案：C★考生得分：2 分评语：(3) Why was the Nobel Peace Prize managed in Norway instead of Sweden according to some experts? （2分）A.Nobel believed he must do something for Norway.B.Norway is Nobel's hometown.C.Sweden was not so peace-loving at the time when Nobel founded the prize.D.Sweden was stronger and richer at that time.☆考生答案：C★考生得分：2 分评语：(4) A Nobel Peace Prize winner can’t be a(n) ____________.（2分）A.politicianB.terroristC.activistD.peace lover☆考生答案：A★考生得分：0 分评语：(5) Which of the following statements is true according to the text? （2分）A.Till now people have had no idea why Alfred Nobel set up the prize for physics.B.Alfred Nobel may have been worried about the damages caused by his dangerous inventions.C.The standard that the Peace Prize committee adopted to award the Peace Prize must be totallydifferent before and after World War I.D.The purpose of setting up the Peace Prize is just the same with that of the other four NobelPrizes.☆考生答案：C★考生得分：0 分评语：4. Love, is the emotion that makes enemies into friends and friends into enemies. So many legends surround this emotion, from the goddess Athena and Helen of Troy to Sh akespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.There are so many levels of love. Friendship starts off this list. We do feel love towards our friends. This is what helps us get along so well and why we miss them when we don’t see our friends for a long time. It’s also why we hold certain friends over others no matter what happens. Sometimes, the bond between friends deepens to the point where a stronger bondof love is made, making them family.Another level of love is for our siblings and other family members. Even thoughsometimes we don’t like some of our family, that bond is still there. It’s this family bond levelof love that brought about the phrase—blood is thicker than water.A third level of love is the bond that brings man and woman together. This level is amongthe strongest of them all. It is this level of love that has brought together kingdoms intonations in the past and ended so many great wars. It’s also the love for a woman that hasstarted a few of our well-known wars, like the Trojan Wars of ancient times.The last mentionable level of love is that bond between a mother and her children. Thisbond starts from the very first tiny fluttering of movement and never ends, even after death ofthe child. A mother protects her children in the na me of love. It’s because of her children thata mother will work at a job she hates, just to make sure they have everything they could everwant or need.Poems, plays and legends can only briefly touch the true meaning of love. What is love? Idon’t know, but I’ll do what I can to express it to my son, my husband, my family and friends in the best possible way that I can. （10分）(1) The emotion that makes friends into enemies and enemies into friends is ________. （2分）A.hateB.patienceC.loveD.joy☆考生答案：C★考生得分：2 分评语：(2) The phrase “blood is thicker than water” best illustrates ________.（2分）A.the love towards friendsB.the love between mother and childC.the love between a man and a womanD.the love for siblings and other family members☆考生答案：C★考生得分：0 分评语：(3) What level of love is among the strongest of all according to the text? （2分）A.The love towards friends.B.The love between mother and child.C.The love between a man and a woman.D.The love for family members.☆考生答案：C★考生得分：2 分评语：(4) According to the author, the bond between a mother and her children __________. （2分）A.starts when the children are very lovely.B.starts when the children have grown up.C.ends when the children die.D.exists even after the children’s death.☆考生答案：B★考生得分：0 分评语：(5) Which of the following legends is not cited in the text? （2分）A.Romeo and Juliet.B.Jack and Rose in Titanic.C.Helen of Troy.D.Goddess Athena.☆考生答案：B★考生得分：2 分评语：。

The charity shop is a British institution, selling everything from clothes 2electric goods, all 3 verygood prices. You can get things you won’t find in the shops any more. The thing I like 4 about them is that your money is going to a good cause and not into the 5 of profit-drivencompanies, and you are not 6 the planet, but finding a new home for 7 goods.

With the cost of a college education going through the roof, whatwould you tell your child to study so he can be sure of getting a good job when he graduates?If your child’s main goal is to get a job, I would suggest he rethink the whole idea of going to college. There is, it seems, a major cause of confusion in our society beca use people don’t understand the difference between education and training. Education is akin to research and development in that one never knows where, if anywhere, it will eventually lead. It’s certainly a nice luxury if one can afford it and if one has the capacity to grow intellectually but it’s no guarantee of a steady income. Training, on the other hand, addresses the skills and knowledge necessaryto do a job. Traditionally, advanced education was reserved for just a tiny portion of the population while all others learned a trade and that was often through the apprentice system.Of course, there were those who worked their way through school and into monied slots but those were mostly schools where one can be trained for a profession such as colleges of law, medicine, business, engineering, etc.So what do you tell your child? If a job and the income it will provide are the most important, then keep in mind that four years of education will cost not only the tuition and living expenses but four years of lost earnings as well. Instead, he might want to consider earning a wage while learning a trade and then putting the same cash and credit into starting a business. Or he might want to consider attending a community college, a mixture that combines mostly remedial schooling with a form of apprenticeship. Stick to the readily applicable skills and technology classes, and there might actually be a job available upon graduation.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true about education？It wasofferedfor a Most It is a(A)largenumberofpeoplein thepast.(B)It is similar toresearch anddevelopment.(C)Peoplecanaffordit.(D)guaranteeof asteadyincome.According to the passage, which of the following statements is true about training?(A)It mustteachstudentsrichknowledge.(B)One has tostudy law,medicine,businessandengineering.(C)It willway ofmakinga lot ofmoney.(D)It provideskills andnecessaryknowledgeof jobs.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the cost of education?(A)Tuition.(B)Livingexpenses(C)Earningsof part-timejobs.(D)Fouryears oflostearnings.What can NOT be learnt from community college?(A)Knowledgefrom book.(B)Skillssomesimplejobs.(C)Advancedtechnology.(D)Languagetraining.What’s the author’s attitude towards higher education?(A)Neutral.(B)Approving.(C)Indifferent.(D)Disapproving.2. The school was across the street from my home and I would oftenwatch the kids as they played basketball after class. A sea of children, and yet to me, a girl stood out from them all. She was different from others as she seemed so small among those boys.I remember the first day I saw her playing basketball. I watched inwonder as she ran circles around the other kids and managed to shoot jump shots just over their heads and into the net. The boys always tried to stop her but no one could. I began to notice her at other times, basketball in hand, playing alone. Every day she would practice over and over again, sometimes until dark.One day I asked her why she practiced so much. She looked directly into my eyes and said, “I like basketball, and I want to go to play in the best college basketball team.” She looked quite firm, “That’s my dream.”In the following year s, I watched her through those junior high years and into high school. Every weekshe led her school team to one victory after another. One day in her senior year, I saw her sitting on the grass alone. I walked across the street and sat down beside her. Quietly I asked what was wrong. “Oh, nothing,” she answered, “My coaches think I am just too short at five feet five inches to dream about a top college team.” She looked a bit depressed. I felt sorry for her and asked her if she had talked to her dad about it yet. She lifted her head and told me that her father thought those coaches were wrong and did not understand the power of a dream. “If you truly wanted to realize your dream, nothing could stop you except one thing?your determination”, He encouraged her, “If the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count.”The next year, as she and her team went to the Northern California Championship game, a famous college coach found her. And she was going to get the college education that she had dreamed of and worked towards for all those years. Her father is right: If the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count.According to the author, the girl stood out from others because of the following reasons EXCEPT ___________(A)shewas hisstudent(B)shewassmall(C)shepracticedhard(D)sheplayedwellThe girl looked firm because ___________ her a top college team was(A)her fatherencouragedher to playbasketball.(B)dreamwas tostudyin acollege.(C)herdreamandshewouldworkhardfor it.(D)height isnot aproblemWhich of the following statements is NOT true according to the text?(A)Thegirlwastheleaderof theschoolteam.(B)Thegirl'sfatheralwaysbelievedthepowerof adream.(C)Thecoacheswerenotgood tothe girl.(D)Thefathermay beastrong-willedperson.What did the father mean when he said “If the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count”?(A)Weshouldalwaysdreamsomethingbig.(B)Determinationcan help usovercomedifficulties.(C)Anyonecandreamanything.(D)If youhave adream,you willsucceed.What helped the girl realize her dream?(A)Herdetermination.(B)Herdiligence.(C)Herfather’ssupport.(D)All theabove.3. Good Health starts from infancy. It is here that protection and careare needed, so that each organ functions well, each organ developsnaturally, and there are no deformities, disabilities and diseases. But often the health of children remains neglected, with the result that they grow unhealthily and that affects their education as well.A healthy child develops into a healthy adult. If the child does not grow properly, he may become handicapped in some way and his ill-health may spoil his adult life. He may not be able to join any active service; he may not be a successful professional, and he may not have a happy life .Health is real wealth. A healthy person is an asset to himself, to his family and to his community. Health is the pivot upon which a man’s whole personality and his well-being depend. Anailing and aching body saps the enthusiasm for pursuit.Health cannot be achieved merely by taking one or two pills everyday or by observing a few restrictions. It can be achieved only by understanding what health is, upon what it depends and then applying this knowledge in everyday life.The care of the body regarding food, cleanliness, exercise, rest and protection against disease, is essential for the preservation of sound health. Life is for living. Without health, life is deprived of not only much of its usefulness but also its joys and pleasures.The stream of life will be rich and lasting in proportion to the resources which nourish it. These resources belong to every person. They are food, exercise, proper posture, care of bodily functions, avoidance of alcohol and tobacco and wholesome mental and emotional attitudes.When should people start paying attention to their health?(A)Whentheyareadults.(B)Whentheyareinfants.(C)Whentheygrowup.(D)Whenthey areteenagers.If the child does not grow in healthy way, what problems will he meet?(A)He maynotsucceedin hiswork.(B)He willbeunhappyin hislife.(C)He willbeunhappyin hislife.(D)All oftheabove.According to the passage, what does health mean to a people?(A)Time.(B)Status.(C)Wealth.(D)Usefulness. Through whichway can you achieve health?(A)By puttinghealthyknowledgeintopractice.(B)By takingsomemedicine.(C)By doingroutinephysicalexamination.(D)Byreadingsomebooksabouthealth.If you want to keep healthy, you need to do the following things EXCEPT______.(A)Payattentionto thefood andexercise(B)take pillseveryday(C)avoidunhealthyhabit likesmokinganddrinkingalcohol(D)Beawareofmentalhealth4. Even for people who’ve gone many years without exercising, thereare compelling reasons to get active, no matter what their ages.“The fitter and more active you become, the longer you’ll live and less heart disease you’ll have,” says Dr. Aaron Baggish, a cardiologist and fitness expert at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital.He suggests that people first start exercising by moving whenever possible, such as taking the stairs instead of the elevator. Next, he asks his patients to identify times during the day they can exercise and what resources they have at their disposal. For example, does their workplace or senior center have a fitness facility, or do they have access to a safe place to walk,no matter what the weather?People in the 60- to 80-year-old age group should spend eighty percent of their workout doing moderate aerobic activity. That can be anything from brisk walking, cycling, dancing, to a Zumba class. For the remaining twenty prevent of the time, it’s a good idea to focus onstrength training. This can be done at a gym but can also be done at home ? no weights needed. Try squats, push-ups, and arm reaches. Work toward a goal of exercising for one hour, five times a week.For those with no particular health concerns, a program of moderate walking and strength training is a safe way to go. Those who have heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, or other muscle or bone problems should talk to a doctor before starting. Take it easy at first, and ramp up to a more intense level gradually. “Most of all, remember that something is better than nothing and there is no age w hen it’s too late to start,”says Dr. Baggish.When people start exercising, they need to consider their age.(A)T(B)FIf you do exercises more than others, you’ll live long and have less disease.(A)T(B)FWalking and taking the stairs are the two kinds of exercises.(A)T(B)FOld people need to spend much time on strength training.(A)T(B)FIf one is too old, it’s better for him not to do exercises.(A)T(B)F。

They ripple through networks “like pebbles thrown into a pond,” says Nicholas Christakis, a medical sociologist at Harvard Medical School in Boston, who has pioneered much of the new work.At first sight, the idea that we can catch the moods, habits and state of health not only of those a-round us, but also those we do not even know seems alarming. It implies that rather than being in charge of where we are going in life, we are little more than back-seat drivers, since most social influence operates at a subconscious level. But we need not be alarmed, says Duncan Watts, a sociologist at Columbia University, New York. “Social influence is mostly a good thing. We should embrace the fact that we’re inherently social creatures and that much of who we are and what we do is determined by forces that are outside the little circle we draw around ourselves. “ What’s more, by being aware of the effects of social contagion we may be able to find ways to counter it, or use it to our benefit. “ There’s no doubt people can have some control over their networks and that this in turn can affect their lives,” says Christakis.To get an idea of what is going on, take Christakis’findings on the spread of happiness, which were published last month. His team looked at a network of several thousand friends, relatives, neighbors and work colleagues. They found that happy people tend to be clustered together, not because they naturally orientate towards each other, but because of the way happiness spreads through social contact over time, regardless of people’s conscious choice of friends.正确答案：人们越来越清晰地认识到，一系列现象以令人捉摸不透的方式在社交圈内出现：快乐和忧郁、肥胖症、饮酒和抽烟的习惯、不健康的身体状况、参加竞选投票的倾向、对某种音乐或食物的喜好、对网上隐私的偏好，甚至尝试或考虑自杀的倾向都是可以传染的。

Some people say that human beings are the only animals that have language. Is this true? It is a very difficult question to answer. A person must have a good definition of “language”. Different kinds of animals must be studied. Some animals certainly seem to have a communication system. That system may or may not be a language. For example, the bee has ways of telling other bees about food. The dolphin has ways of giving information to other dolphins. The monkey can use a human language system. Does this mean animals have language? The answer to this question depends on how “language” is defined. We may define language as any system for exchanging information. If this definition is used, then bees, dolphins, and monkeys all have a language. But language may be defined in another way. We may define language as a system for exchanging information by making new combinations of symbols. If this definition is used, then bees and dolphins do not have a language, but monkeys may have one. Monkeys are clearly able to combine symbols in a human language that they have been taught. This is not their usual language, however. （15分）(1) What do some animals seem to have according to the passage? （3分）A.a languageB.a communication systemC.ways of giving informationD.a good system★标准答案：B(2) What animals can use a human language system? （3分）A. monkeysB.dolphinsC.beesD.monkeys and dolphins★标准答案：A(3) According to the passage,what are monkeys able to do? （3分）A.To learn a human languageB.To exchange informationC.To combine symbols in a human languageD.To give information to human beings(4) Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage? （3分）A.person must have a good definition of “language”.B.Different kinds of animals must be studied.nguage may be defined in two waysD.The dolphin has three kinds of calls to tell other dolphins about food.★标准答案：D(5) What does this passage tell us? （3分）A.Animals have language like that of humans if we have a good definitionB.Monkeys are clever enough to learn human language.C.Human beings are the only animals that have language.D.Whether some animals have their own languages depends on how we define language. ★标准答案：D4. It was not yet eleven o'clock when a boat crossed the river with a single passenger who had obtained his transportation at that unusual hour by promising an extra fare. While the youth stood on the landing-place searching in his pocket for money, the ferry man lifted a lantern, by the aid of which, together with the newly risen moon, he took a very accurate survey of the stranger’s figure. He was a young man of barely 18 years old, evidently the country breed, and now, as it seemed, on his first visit to the town. He was wearing a tough gray coat, which was in good shape, but which had seen many winters before this one. The garments under his coat were well constructed of leather, and fitted tightly to a pair of muscular legs; his stockings of blue yarn must have been the work of a mother or sister, and his head was a three-cornered hat, which in its better days had perhaps sheltered the grayer head of the lad’s father. In his left hand was a walking stick, and his equipment was completed by a leather bag not so abundantly stocked as to inconvenience the strong shoulders on which it hung. Brown, curly hair, well-shaped features, bright, cheerful eyes were nature’s gifts, and worth all that art could have done for his adornment. The youth, whose name was Robin, paid the boatman, and then walked forward into the town with a light step, as if he had not already traveled more than thirty miles that day. As he walked, he surveyed his surroundings as eagerly as if he were entering London or Madrid, instead of the little metropolis of a New England colony. （15分）(1) The story took place in ______. （3分）A. winterB.fallC. summerD.spring(2) The boatman was willing to take the young man across the river because _____. （3分）A. he felt sorry for him because the young man looked poorB. he saw that the young man was richC. he was going to row across the river anywayD.He wanted to make extra money★标准答案：D(3) From the way he looked, it was evident that Robin was ________. （3分）A. a wealthy merchant’s sonB.a country boyC. a soldierD. a foreigner★标准答案：B(4) The stockings that Robin wore were obviously _________. （3分）A.worn-outB. handmadeC. very expensiveD. much too big★标准答案：B(5) How did Robin appear as he walked into the town? （3分）A.

In the old day, children were familiar with birth and death as part of life. This is perhaps the first generation of American youngsters who have never been close by during the birth of a baby and have never experienced the death of a family member. Nowadays when people grow old, we often send them to nursing homes. When they get sick, we transfer them to a hospital, where children are forbidden to visit terminally ill patients-even when those patients are their parents. This deprives （剥夺）the dying patient of significant family members during the last few days of his life and it deprives the children of an experience of death, which is an important learning experience.Some of my colleagues and I once interviewed and followed approximately 500 terminally ill patients in order to find out what they could teach us and how we could be of more benefit, not just to them but to the members of their families as well. We are most impressed by the fact that even those patients who were not told of their serious illness were quite aware of its potential outcome.It is important for family members, and doctors and nurses to understand these patients' communications in order to truly understand their needs, fears, and fantasies（幻想）. Most of our patients welcomed another human being with whom they could talk openly, honestly, and frankly about their trouble. Many of them shared with us their tremendous need to be informed, to be kept up-to-date on their medical condition and to be told when the end was near. We found out that patients who had been dealt with openly and frankly were better able to cope with the approach of death and finally to reach a true stage of acceptance prior to death. （15分）(1) The elders of contemporary Americans ___________. （3分）A. were often absent when a family member was born or dyingB. were quite unfamiliar with birth and deathC. usually witnessed the birth or death of a family memberD. had often experienced the fear of death as part of life★标准答案：C(2) Children in America today are denied the chance __________ （3分）A.to learn how to face deathB.to visit dying patientsC.to attend to patientsD.to have access to a hospital★标准答案：B(3) Five hundred critically ill patients were investigated with the main purpose of _________. （3分）A.observing how they reacted to the crisis of deathB. helping them and their families overcome the fear of deathC.finding out their attitude towards the approach of deathD.learning how to best help them and their families★标准答案：D(4) The need of a dying patient for company shows ____________. （3分）A.his desire for communication with other peopleB.his fear of approaching deathC.his pessimistic attitude towards his conditionD. his reluctance to part with his family★标准答案：A(5) It may be concluded from the passage that __________. （3分）A.dying patients are afraid of being told of the approach of deathB.most doctors and nurses understand what dying patients needC.dying patients should be truthfully informed of their conditionD. most patients are unable to accept death until it is obviously inevitable ★标准答案：C4. There are many forms of energy. Some of these forms are heat energy, light energy, electrical energy and chemical energy. Any form of energy can be changed into another form. Besides, there is a huge quantity of energy in the atoms of chemical elements. This is called atomic energy. Atomic energy has been used and will be widely used in the future.The greatest source of energy is the sun. Each day the sun sends a lot of energy onto the earth in the form of heat rays and light rays. But to use solar energy in large amounts is a great problem.Sunlight is not steady. Clouds and night cut off the source. Therefore people must find ways to store up solar energy. Different kinds of devices have been developed. The solar-energy collector is one of them, and the solar battery is another. In the future solar energy may take the place of some power sources. （15分）(1) What is this passage about? （3分）A.AtomsB.SunlightC.Power sourcesD.Energy★标准答案：D(2) According to the passage,what energy will be widely used in the future? （3分）A.Heat energyB.Light energyC.Atomic energyD.Chemical energy★标准答案：C(3) What is the great problem according to the passage? （3分）A.To widely use atomic energyB.To use solar energy in large amountsC.To send a lot of energy onto the earthD.

Among the few scientists who have had a great effect on science and historyAlbert Einstein is perhaps the greatest. An American university president once commented that Einstein had created a new view ofthe universe. His theory has completely changed the way scientists understand time and space. Now, more and more people agree that the universe is something complicated than what they have ever thought before.Einstein was born is Germany in 1879. By 1914, young Einstein, alreadyinternationally famous, became a professor at an institute in Berlin. He had few duties, little teaching and unlimited opportunities for study. However, his peaceful life was soon broken by the First World War.Einstein hated violence. He was deeply affected by the war; he sat unhappily in his office doing little and lost interest in his research. Only when peace came in 1918 was he able to get back to work.In the years following the First World War, people showered honors upon him. He became the head of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute of Theoretical Physics. In 1921 he won the Noble Prize for Physics and was greatly honored and respected in Germany. However, his life was again disrupted. The Second World War broke out and Einstein had to move to the US, where he lived until his death in 1955. （10分）(1) The first paragraph is mainly about _______. （2分）A.the secret of the universeB.Einstein’s great influenceC. an American college presidentD.the difficulty of Einstein’s theory★标准答案：B(2) The passage tells us that young Einstein ______. （2分）A.fought in the warB.disliked teachingC.was the head of universityD.was a world famous scientist★标准答案：D(3) Einstein’s researches were interrupted by ________. （2分）A.the warsB.teachingC.povertyD.poor health★标准答案：A(4) Einstein won the Nobel Prize for Physics in ________. （2分） A.1914 B.1918C.1921D.1955★标准答案：C(5) Which of the following statements about Einstein is true? （2分） A.He was always unhappy in his office. B.The world wars affected him greatly.C.He kept working until peace came in 1918.D.His theory changed the form of the universe.★标准答案：B4. can take relatively good health for granted most of the time. In fact, we tend to fully realize the importance of good health only when we or those close to us become seriously ill. At such times we keenly appreciate the ancient truth that health is our most precious asset, one for which we might readily give up such rewards as power, wealth, or fame（荣誉）.Because ill health is universal problem, affecting both the individual and society, the human response to sickness is always socially organized. No society leaves the responsibility for maintaining health and treating ill health entirely to the individual. Each society develops its own concepts of health and sickness and authorizes certain people to decide who is sick and how the sick should be treated. Around this focus there arises, over time, a number of standards, values, groups, statuses, and roles: in other words, an institution（体系；机构）. To the sociologist（社会学家）, then, medicine is the institution concerned with the maintenance of health and treatment of disease. In the simplest pre-industrial societies, medicine is usually an aspect of religion. The social arrangements for dealing withsickness are very elementary, often involving only two roles: the sick and the healer（治疗者）. The latter is typically also the priest（牧师）, who relies primarily on religious ceremonies, both to identify and to treat disease: for example, bones may be thrown to establish a cause, songs may be used to bring about a cure. In modern industrialized societies, on the other hand, the institution has become highly complicated and specialized, including dozens of roles such as those of brain surgeon, druggist, hospital administrator, linked with various organizations such as nursing homes, insurance companies, and medical schools. Medicine, in fact, has become the subject of intense sociological interest precisely because it is now one of the most pervasive andcostly institutions of modern society.（10分） (1) Which of the following statements is true according to Paragraph 1? （2分） A.Nowadays most people believe they can have fairly good health. B.Human life involves a great deal of pain and suffering.C.Most of us are aware of the full value of health.D.Ancient people believed that health was more expensive than anything else. ★标准答案：B(2) The word “authorize” in Paragraph 2 means“_____________”. （2分） A.make way for B.give power toC.write an order forD.make it possible for★标准答案：B(3) In Paragraph 2, we learn that the sociologist regards medicine as ____________. （2分）A.a system whose purpose is to treat disease and keep people healthyB.a universal problem that affects every societyC.a social responsibility to treat ill healthD.a science that focuses on the treatment of disease★标准答案：A(4) According to Paragraph 3, which of the following is NOT true? （2分）A.In the past, bones might be used to decide why people fell ill.B.In pre-industrial societies priests sometimes treated patients by singing.C.Modern medicine is so complicated that sociology no longer has a place in it.D.There were only two roles in an elementary medical system, the patient and the one who tried to cure him.★标准答案：C(5) The author of this passage is mainly concerned with_______________. （2分） A.sociological aspects in medicineB.medical treatment of diseasesC.the development of medical scienceD.the role of religion in medicine★标准答案：A5. When children learn a language, they learn the grammar as well as the words or vocabulary. No one teaches them; children just “pick them up”.Before babies begin to produce words, they produce sounds. Some of these sounds will remain if they occur in the language being acquired, and others will disappear. This is called the “babbling （牙牙学语）stage”. A child does not learn the language “all at once”. The child first utterances（言语）are one-word sentences. After a few months，the two-word stage arises. During this stage, the child puts two words together. These two-word sentences have definite patterns and express grammatical and meaningful relationships. Still later, in the telegraphic stage, the child will produce longer sentences. These longer sentences are mainly made up of content words. The child s early grammar lacks many of the rules of the adult grammar, but eventually it will become mature.All normal children everywhere learn language. This ability is not dependent on race（种族）, social class, geography, or even intelligence. This ability is uniquely human.（10分）(1) This passage is mainly about _________. （2分）A.the difference between a child s language and an adult sB. ways of teaching babies to talkC.children’s learning of the mother languageD.the importance of learning foreign languages★标准答案：C(2) The phrase “pick them up”（Line 2，Paragraph1）means “_________ ”. 分）A. raise them from the groundB.learn them without much efforte hands to help carry themD.study very hard and remember them★标准答案：B (3) During the “babbling stage”, babies_________. （2分）A.can only produce soundsB.learn to walk steadilyC.can understand people’s talkD.begin to produce two-word sentences★标准答案：A(4) The two-word sentences produced by babies _________. （2分）A.are simpler than those produced in the “babbling stage”B.are more difficult than those produced in the telegraphic stageC.are strictly grammaticalD.are meaningful and have function ★标准答案：D(5) Any child can learn language as long as he is _________. （2分） A. well-educated B.clever enough C.uniqueD.physically normal★标准答案：D6. where they are going and are very impatient if they are delayed even for a brief moment.At first, this may seem unfriendly to you. But drivers will rush you; storekeepers will be in a hurry as they serve you; people will push past you as they walk along the street. You will miss smiles, brief conversations with people as you shop or dine away from home. Do not think that because Americans are in such a hurry they are unfriendly. Often, life is much slower outside the big cities, as is true in other countries as well.Americans who live in cities such as New York, Chicago, or Los Angeles, often think that everyone is equally in a hurry to get things done; they expect others to “pushback”, just as city people do in Tokyo, Singapore or Paris, for example. But when they discover that you are a stranger, most Americans become quite kindly and will take great care to help you. Many of them first came to the city as strangers and they remember how frightening a new city can be. If you need help or want to ask a question, choose a friendly looking person and say, “I am a stranger here. Can you help me?”Most people will stop, smile at you, and help you find you way or answer your questions. But you must let them know that you need help. Otherwise they are likely to pass you by, not noticing that you are new to the city and in need of help. Occasionally, you may find someone too busy or perhaps too rushed to give you aid. If this happens, do not be discouraged; just ask someone else. Most Americans enjoy helping a stranger. （10分）(1) Many people who first visit the United States will find that _______. （2分）A.America is a highly developed countryB.American city people seem to be always in a rushC.the fast pace in American life often causes much troubleD. Americans are impatient and unfriendly people★标准答案：B(2) When the author says “You will miss smile”, he means___________. （2分） A.you will fail to notice that Americans are pleasant and happyB.you will be puzzled why Americans do not smile at youC.you will feel that Americans do not seem very friendlyD.you will find that Americans don't have much sense of humor ★标准答案：C(3) In the author's opinion, ___________. （2分） A.it is true that life in New York is much faster than that in any other cityB.people living outside big cities are lazy and miserableC.most American people enjoy living in the suburbs of big citiesD.those who are busy are not necessarily unfriendly★标准答案：D(4) The author mentions big cities such as Tokyo, Singapore and Paris___________. （2分）A. to show that city people all over the world have a lot in commonB.to let his readers be aware that they are some of the world's biggest citiesC.to illustrate their difference from American citiesD.because they are some of the cities that attract visitors most ★标准答案：A(5) If you say to an American that you are a stranger there, most probably he will _________. （2分）A.stop smiling at youB.offer his helpC.help you find the wayD.reply that he is pleased to meet you★标准答案：B7. Mother’s Da y is certainly a very special day for the community. The SOS mothers are regarded as great examples of maternal care. They are admired and respected for their committed work and patience in the care of so many children, normally six to ten kids in a family.For the kids of the village, the celebration has turned out to be twice as important. For them, it is not a common mother’s day. Many have lost their biological mothers, others have no contact with them, and a few cannot live with them because their mothers and family are in trouble. In this context, the SOS mother is everything to them, and, of course, she receives all their attention and love during this celebration.At school, the kids prepare special cards for their mothers. Most of the time, they make them with their own hands, while other children, the more imaginative, add on a little flower, oftentaken from the garden of a neighbor. At the end of the day, though, no child forgets to give a present to his mother. They all love them and feel proud o f having someone like her when Mother’s Day arrives. At school, they shout out “Mummy” in front of their school mates, kind of trying to underline that they also have a mother.Right on Mother’s Day, which is commemorated the second week of May in Ecuador, I came across Zoila, an experienced SOS mother. And as I took the chance to ask her what it feels like to be an SOS mother, she answered, “I am proud of being a mother, and I feel happy to have the chance to care for innocent, ingenious and mischievous creatures—my sons and daughters. They are so young that they give me their love with total sincerity. They don’t seem to expect anything from me but just an ‘I care for you and I love you’. I don’t have children myself, but these kids really make me feel like a mother—more human, fuller of life. This work is hard, but the recompense of my children is absolutely great.”So, Happy Mother’s Day to every woman in the world! （10分）第25/27页(1) According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true about SOS mothers? （2分） A.They are dedicated and patient to their children.B.They are admired for their maternal care for their children.C.They normally have six to ten biological kids in a family.D.Mother’s Day is very special for them.★标准答案：C(2) Why is SOS mother important to these SOS children? （2分）A.

Who decides what you buy in the supermarkets? Do you decide? Does the supermarket decide?When you enter the supermarket, you see shelves full of food. You walk in the aisles（过道）between the shelves. You push a shopping cart and put your food in it. You probably hear slow music as youwalk along the aisles; if you hear fast music, you walk quickly. The super-market plays slow music. You walk slowly and have more time to buy things.Maybe you go to the meat department first. There is some meat on sale, and you want to find it. The manager of the supermarket knows where customers enter the meat department. The cheaper meat is at the end of the meat department, away from where the customers enter. You have to walk by all the expensive meat before you find the cheaper meat. Maybe you will buy some of the expensive meat instead of the meat on sale.The dairy department sells milk and milk products such as butter and cheese. Many customers like milk that has only a little butterfat in it. One store has three different containers of low fat milk. One says “1% Fat” on the container. The second says “99% Fat Free”. The third says “Low Fat” in big letters and “1%” in small letters. As you can see, all the milk has the same amount of fat. The milk is all the same. The amount of milk in each container is also the same. However in this store the three containers of milk don’t cost the same. Maybe the customer will buy the milk that costs the most. （10分）(1) This passage mainly discusses （2分）A.why people in cities shop in supermarketsB.what influences people’s shopping in supermarketsC. what people usually buy in supermarketsD.how music is related to people s shopping in supermarkets ★标准答案：B★检查答案(2) The supermarket plays slow music so that （2分）A. it may attract more customersB. it may seem more like a homeC.customers will feel more comfortableD.customers will possibly buy more★标准答案：D★检查答案(3) The manager knows _____________. （2分）A. what kind of customers like low fat milkB.what kind of customers like slow musicC.where customers enter the meat departmentD.where customers enter the dairy department★标准答案：C★检查答案(4) The cheaper meat is put at the end of the meat department because _____________. （2分）A.the supermarket wants to sell more of the expensive meat。
