One winter Mr and Mrs Robinson went England, and they took John there. John was seven years old then.One day it snowed. The boy went into the garden, and he played in the snow. He said, “Snow is very beautiful, but it is very cold.”Then he said, “What is this?” It is a big, round piece of glass. It is beautiful, but it is very cold, too.”But it was not glass. It was ice. It was on a bucket(桶) of water. John said, “Who put this glass here? I’m going to take it into the house.” He took the ice to his father and said, “This is a beautiful piece of glass, but it is very cold and wet. It was on a bucket of w ater in the garden.” Mr Robinson smiled and said, “Take it to the kitchen, put it in front of the stove （炉子） there, and dry it.”The boy took the ice to the kitchen and put it in front of the stove. He dried his hands, because they were very cold and wet, and then he went to the ice again. He looked at it, and then he took it to his father again. He said, “I put this glass in front of the stove, but it does got drier. It becomes wetter and smaller.”21.

After John put the ice in front of the stove, he found that it became ______.A dry B. wetter C. bigger D. colderPassage TwoDuring the day we work and play. At night we sleep. Our bodies rest while we sleep. In the morning we are ready to work and play again. Our bodies grow most while we are asleep. Children usually need more sleep. They can learn their lessons better after they have had plenty of rest. Boys and girls who are eight or nine years old need ten hours of sleep every night. Our bodies need plenty of air when we sleep. If we don’t get enough fresh air, we’ll feel tired when we wake up. While in bed we must not cover our heads. Our lungs need enough fresh air. If we open our windows at night we can have plenty of fresh air. Cool air is better than warm air. Boys and girls who want to be strong must get plenty of sleep.26. Our bodies grow most while we are______.A. eatingB. playingC. sleepingD. exercising27. Our bodies need ______ when we sleep.A.plenty of airB. foodC. waterD. drink28.

Warm airD. Sleeping30. In order to get enough air at night, you should ________________A.not cover your headB.close windowsC.sleepD.sleep ten hoursPassage ThreeWe know that we have to pay for what we get. If we buy food, we have to pay for it. If a doctor treats us, we know there will be a bill to pay. These are private bills. But there are also public bills that must be paid. Public bills are paid for by the government. In return we get needed services. We all use these services without thinking how we get them. But such services cost money. We pay for these services through taxes.What would happen if everyone in a city stopped paying taxes? The water supply would stop. Water might even become unclean and impure. The streets might not be cleaned. There would be no police force to protect people and property. Schools would be closed. People would become sick and disease might spread. We would not want to live in such a city. We all want pure water and food, clean streets, and good schools. We want police to protect us from crime.These services are expensive. The bills get larger each year. We spend public money today for services that we did not have fifty years ago. For instance, we now use public money to help stop accidents in mines and shops and to help farmers.The chief duty of every government is to protect persons and property. Billions of dollars each year are spent on schools and libraries. Public money is used to pay the teachers and other public officials. Also, a large amount of public fund is spent on roads.The greatest part of the needed funds is raised by taxes. A tax is the money that we all must pay to support the government. The law orders us to pay taxes. We have no choice in the matter. Almost everyone pays some tax in one form or another.Years ago, the government made money from the sale of public lands. But most of the best public lands have now been sold. The money raised was used to help to pay the costs of the government. There are still some public lands that contain oil, coal, gas, and other natural products. They could be sold. But we want to save them for future years. So, we all must pay our share for the services that make our lives comfortable.31. Who should pay for the public bills?A. The publicB. The societyC. The governmentD. Both A and C32. Why should everyone pay taxes?A.Because water might even become unclear and impure.B.Because streets might not be cleaned and schools would be closed.C.Because people would become sick and disease might spread.D.Because the government would have funds to work for the welfare of people.33. The largest amount of public money is used to _________________A.protect persons and propertyB.stop accidents in minesC.pay the teachersD.build roads34. Which of the following about taxes is not true?A.It’s lawful that everyone pays taxes.B.The taxes raised are used for supporting the governmentC.Everyone has his right to make a decision in the matter.D.The government spent a large amount of money on road building.35. Why did the government sell public lands years ago?A.Because those public lands were not rich in natural resources.B.Because the government wanted to benefit from the sale of lands.C.Because the government had to pay all kinds of costs.D.Because people needed lands to build their houses.Passage fourEveryone knows that the favorite food in the United States is the hamburger. It seems impossible, but people eat 34 billion hamburgers a year. This is enough to make a line of hamburgers around the world four times.The favorite place to buy a hamburger is a fast-food restaurant. In these restaurants, people order their food, wait just a few minutes, and carry it to their tables themselves. They can eat it in the restaurant or take the food out and eat it at home, at work, or in a park. At some restaurants people can drive up beside a window. They order the food, and a worker hands it through the window. They eat it in their cars. Hamburgers are not the only kind of food that fast-food restaurants serve. Some serve fish, chicken, beef sandwiches, or Mexican food. They also serve fries (French fried potatoes) , shakes ( a drink made from milk and ice cream), soft drink and coffee.Fast-food restaurants are very popular because the service is fast and the food is inexpensive. For many people, this is more important than quality of the food. These restaurants are also popular because the food is always the same. People know that if they eat at a com pany’s restaurant in the north or south of the city, the food will be the same. If they eat in New York or San Francisco, it will still be the same.Fast service and low cost are important in the United States. One reason is that about 50 percent of all married women with children work outside the home. They are too busy and too tired to cook dinner every night.Is the food at fast-food restaurants good for you? In general, it is all right, except that it has too much fat and salt.One thing is sure. People will continue to eat fast foods. In fact, now there are fast-food restaurants in countries all over the world.36. In a fast-food restaurant, people ___________.A. stand up to eatB. are served at tableC. eat in a hurryD. serve themselves37. Usually fast food is rich in _______________.A. sugar and milkB. salt and fatC. meat and saltD. beef and fish38. Fast-food restaurant is popular because ____________.A. people are free to order their foodB. the quality of the food is goodC. it is cheaper and faster to have meals thereD. people can find fast food restaurants everywhere.39. Which of the following sentences is not correct?A. The service is fast and the food is cheaper in fast-food restaurants.B. More people like eating fast food.C. People can find the same food in all the restaurants.D. People can take fast food.40. What’s the main idea of the passage?A . Americans eat enough hamburgers to make a line around the world four times.B. Fast-food restaurants are popular in the United States.C Some people can eat fast food in parks.D.- Mothers who work outside home often have meals in fast-foodrestaurants.Par tⅣTranslation (3’, 3’*5, 15% )Directions: Translate following sentences from Chinese into English.1. 暴雨通常出现在夏季是不足为奇的。

choosing A, B,C or D.Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET1.(40points)Text1In an essay entitled“Making It in America”,the author Adam Davidson relates a joke from cotton about just how much a modern textile mill has been automated:The average mill only two employees today,”a man and a dog.The man is there to feed the dog is there to keep the man away from the machines.”Davidson’s article is one of a number of pieces that have recently appeared making the point that the reason we have such stubbornly high unemployment and declining middle-class incomes today is also because of the advances in both globalization and the information technology revolution,which are more rapidly than ever replacing labor with machines or foreign worker.In the past,workers with average skills,doing an average job，could earn an average lifestyle,But,today,average is officially over.Being average just won’t earn you what it used to.It can’t when so many more employers have so much more access to so much more above average cheap foreign labor,cheap robotics, cheap software,cheap automation and cheap genius.Therefore,everyone needs to find their extra-their unique value contribution that makes them stand out in whatever is their field of employment.Yes,new technology has been eating jobs forever,and always will.But there’s been an acceleration.As Davidson notes,”In the10years ending in2009,[U.S.] factories shed workers so fast that they erased almost all the gains of the previous 70years;roughly one out of every three manufacturing jobs-about6million in total -disappeared.There will always be changed-new jobs,new products,new services.But the one thing we know for sure is that with each advance in globalization and the I.T. revolution,the best jobs will require workers to have more and better education to make themselves above average.In a world where average is officially over,there are many things we need to do to support employment,but nothing would be more important than passing some kind of G.I.Bill for the21st century that ensures that every American has access to poet-high school education.21.The joke in Paragraph1is used to illustrate_______.[A]the impact of technological advances[B]the alleviation of job pressure[C]the shrinkage of textile mills[D]the decline of middle-class incomes22.According to Paragraph3,to be a successful employee,one has to______[A]work on cheap software[B]ask for a moderate salary[C]adopt an average lifestyle[D]contribute something unique23.The quotation in Paragraph4explains that______[A]gains of technology have been erased[B]job opportunities are disappearing at a high speed[C]factories are making much less money than before[D]new jobs and services have been offered24.According to the author,to reduce unemployment,the most important is_____[A]to accelerate the I.T.revolution[B]to ensure more education for people[C]to advance economic globalization[D]to pass more bills in the21st century25.Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the text?[A]New Law Takes Effect[B]Technology Goes Cheap[C]Average Is Over[D]Recession Is BadText2A century ago,the immigrants from across the Atlantic included settlers and sojourners.Along with the many folks looking to make a permanent home in the United States came those who had no intention to stay,and7millin people arrived while about2million departed.About a quarter of all Italian immigrants,for example,eventually returned to Italy for good.They even had an affectionate nickname,“uccelli di passaggio,”birds of passage.Today,we are much more rigid about immigrants.We divide newcomers into two categories:legal or illegal,good or bad.We hail them as Americans in the making,or our broken immigration system and the long political paralysis over how to fix it.We don’t need more categories,but we need to change the way we think about categories.We need to look beyond strict definitions of legal and illegal.To start,we can recognize the new birds of passage,those living and thriving in the gray areas.We might then begin to solve our immigration challenges.Crop pickers,violinists,construction workers,entrepreneurs,engineers,home health-care aides and physicists are among today’s birds of passage.They are energetic participants in a global economy driven by the flow of work,money andideas.They prefer to come and go as opportunity calls them,They can manage to have a job in one place and a family in another.With or without permission,they straddle laws,jurisdictions and identities with ease.We need them to imagine the United States as a place where they can be productive for a while without committing themselves to staying forever.We need them to feel that home can be both here and there and that they can belong to two nations honorably.Accommodating this new world of people in motion will require new attitudes on both sides of the immigration battle.Looking beyond the culture war logic of right or wrong means opening up the middle ground and understanding that managing immigration today requires multiple paths and multiple outcomes. Including some that are not easy to accomplish legally in the existing system.26“Birds of passage”refers to those who____.[A]immigrate across the Atlantic[B]leave their home countries for good[C]stay in a foreign temporarily[D]find permanent jobs overseas27It is implied in paragraph2that the current immigration system in the US____.[A]needs new immigrant categories[B]has loosened control over immigrants[C]should be adopted to meet challenges[D]has been fixed via political means28According to the author,today’s birds of passage want___[A]financial incentives.[B]a global recognition.[C]opportunities to get regular jobs.[D]the freedom to stay and leave.29The author suggests that the birds of passage today should be treated__[A]as faithful partners.[B]with economic favors.[C]with regal tolerance.[D]as mighty rivals.30which is the best title of the passage?[A]come and go:big mistake[B]living and thriving:great risk[C]with or without:great risk[D]legal or illegal:big mistakeText3Scientists have found that although we are prone to snap overreactions,if we take a moment and think about how we are likely to react,we can reduce or even eliminate the negative effects of our quick,hard-wired responses.Snap decisions can be important defense mechanisms;if we are judging whether someone is dangerous,our brains and bodies are hard-wired to react very quickly,within milliseconds.But we need more time to assess other factors.To accurately tell whether someone is sociable,studies show,we need at least a minute,preferably five.It takes a while to judge complex aspects of personality,like neuroticism or open-mindedness.But snap decisions in reaction to rapid stimuli aren’t exclusive to the interpersonal realm.Psychologists at the University of Toronto found that viewing a fast-food logo for just a few milliseconds primes us to read20percent faster,even though reading has little to do with eating.We unconsciously associate fast food with speed and impatience and carry those impulses into whatever else we’re doing,Subjects exposed to fast-food flashes also tend to think a musical piece lasts too long.Yet we can reverse such influences.If we know we will overreact to consumer products or housing options when we see a happy face(one reason good sales representatives and real estate agents are always smiling),we can take a moment before buying.If we know female job screeners are more likely to reject attractive female applicants,we can help screeners understand their biases-or hire outside screeners.John Gottman,the marriage expert,explains that we quickly“thin slice”information reliably only after we ground such snap reactions in“thick sliced”long-term study.When Dr.Gottman really wants to assess whether a couple will stay together,he invites them to his island retreat for a muck longer evaluation;two days,not two seconds.Our ability to mute our hard-wired reactions by pausing is what differentiates us from animals:doge can think about the future only intermittently or for a few minutes.But historically we have spent about12percent of our days contemplating the longer term.Although technology might change the way we react,it hasn’t changed our nature.We still have the imaginative capacity to rise above temptation and reverse the high-speed trend.31.The time needed in making decisions may____.[A]vary according to the urgency of the situation[B]prove the complexity of our brain reaction[C]depend on the importance of the assessment[D]predetermine the accuracy of our judgment32.Our reaction to a fast-food logo shows that snap decisions____.[A]can be associative[B]are not unconscious[C]can be dangerous[D]are not impulsive33.To reverse the negative influences of snap decisions,we should____.[A]trust our first impression[B]do as people usually do[C]think before we act[D]ask for expert advice34.John Gottman says that reliable snap reaction are based on____.[A]critical assessment[B]‘thin sliced’study[C]sensible explanation[D]adequate information35.The author’s attitude toward reversing the high-speed trend is____.[A]tolerant[B]uncertain[C]optimistic[D]doubtfulText4Europe is not a gender-equality heaven.In particular,the corporate workplace will never be completely family—friendly until women are part of senior management decisions,and Europe’s top corporate-governance positions remain overwhelmingly male.Indeed,women hold only14percent of positions on Europe corporate boards.The Europe Union is now considering legislation to compel corporate boards to maintain a certain proportion of women-up to60percent.This proposed mandate was born of st year,Europe Commission Vice President Viviane Reding issued a call to voluntary action.Reding invited corporations to sign up for gender balance goal of40percent female board membership.But her appeal was considered a failure:only24companies took it up.Do we need quotas to ensure that women can continue to climb the corporate Ladder fairy as they balance work and family?“Personally,I don’t like quotas,”Reding said recently.“But i like what the quotas do.”Quotas get action:they“open the way to equality and they break through the glass ceiling,”according to Reding,a result seen in France and other countries with legally binding provisions on placing women in top business positions.I understand Reding’s reluctance-and her frustration.I don’t like quotas either;they run counter to my belief in meritocracy,government by the capable. Bur,when one considers the obstacles to achieving the meritocratic ideal,it does look as if a fairer world must be temporarily ordered.After all,four decades of evidence has now shown that corporations in Europe as the US are evading the meritocratic hiring and promotion of women to top position—no matter how much“soft pressure”is put upon them.When women do break through to the summit of corporate power--as,for example,Sheryl Sandberg recently did at Facebook—they attract massive attention precisely because they remain the exception to the rule.If appropriate pubic policies were in place to help all women—whether CEOs or their children’s caregivers—and all families,Sandberg would be no more newsworthy than any other highly capable person living in a more just society.36.In the European corporate workplace,generally_____.[A]women take the lead[B]men have the final say[C]corporate governance is overwhelmed[D]senior management is family-friendly37.The European Union’s intended legislation is________.[A]a reflection of gender balance[B]a reluctant choice[C]a response to Reding’s call[D]a voluntary action38.According to Reding,quotas may help women______.[A]get top business positions[B]see through the glass ceiling[C]balance work and family[D]anticipate legal results39.The author’s attitude toward Reding’s appeal is one of_________.[A]skepticism[B]objectiveness[C]indifference[D]approval40.Women entering top management become headlines due to the lack of______.[A]more social justice[B]massive media attention[C]suitable public policies[D]greater“soft pressure”Part BDirections:You are going to read a list of headings and a text.Choose the most suitable heading from the list A-F for each numbered paragraph(41-45).Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET1.(10points)The hugely popular blog the Skint Foodie chronicles how Tony balances his love of good food with living on benefits.After bills,Tony has£60a week to spend,£40of which goes on food,but10years ago he was earning£130,000a I year working in corporate communications and eating at London's betft restaurants'"at least twice a week.Then his marriage failed,his career burned out and his drinking became serious."The community mental health team saved my life.And I felt like that again,to a certain degree,when people responded to the blog so well.It gave me the validation and confidence that I'd lost.But it's still a day-by-day thing."Now he's living in a council flat and fielding offers from literary agents.He's feeling positive,but he'll carry on blogging-not about eating as cheaply as you can-"there are so many people in a much worse state,with barely any money to spend on food"-but eating well on a budget.Here's his advice for economical foodies.[A]Live like a peasant[B]Balance your diet[C]Shopkeepers are your friends[D]Remember to treat yourself[E]Stick to what you need[F]Planning is everything[G]Waste not,want not41._____________________Impulsive spending isn't an option,so plan your week's menu in advance, making shopping lists for your ingredients in their exact quantities.I have an Excel template for a week of breakfast,lunch and dinner.Stop laughing:it's not just cost effective but helps you balance your diet.It's also a good idea to shop daily insteadof weekly,because,being-human,you'll sometimes change your mind about what you fancy.42____________________________________________________________This is where supermarkets and their anonymity come in handy.With them, there's not the same embarrassment as when buying one carrot in a little greengrocer.And if you plan properly,you'll know that you only need,say,350g of shin of beef and six rashers of bacon,not whatever weight is pre-packed in the supermarket chiller.43_________You may proudly claim to only have frozen peas in the freezer-that's not good enough.Mine is filled with leftovers,bread,stock,meat and fish.Planning ahead should eliminate wastage,but if you have surplus vegetables you'll do a vegetable soup,and all fruits threatening to"go off'will be cooked or juiced.44___________________________________Everyone says this,but it really is a top tip for frugal eaters.Shop at butchers, delis and fish-sellers regularly,even for small things,and be super friendly.Soon you'll feel comfortable asking if they've any knuckles of ham for soups and stews, or beef bones,chicken carcasses and fish heads for stock which,more often than not,They will let you have for free.45__________________You won't be eating out a lot,but save your pennies and once every few months treat yourself to a set lunch at a good restaurant-£1.75a week for three months gives you£21-more than"enough for a three-course lunch at Michelin-starred Arbutus.It's£16.95there-or£12.99for a large pizza from Domino's:I know which I'd rather eat.Section III

was,what happened in the news and even the day of the week.I’ve been able to do this since I was four.I never feel overwhelmed with the amount of information my brain absorbs my mind seems to be able to cope and the information is stored away reatly.When Ithink of a sad memory,I do what everyone does-try to put it to one side.I don’t think it’s harder for me just because my memory is clearer.Powerful memory doesn’t make my emotions any more acute or vivid.I can recall the day my grandfather died and the sadness I felt when we went to the hospital the day before.I also remember that the musical play Hair opened on the Broadway on the same day-they both just pop into my mind in the same way.Section IV Writing47.Suppose your class is to hold a charity sale foe kids in need of

Then you should mark the corresponding letter on the Answer sheet with a single line through the center.Passage 1Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passageWhy do people smoke? One reason is that people become addicted to cigarettes. To be addicted means that your body comes to need them. The addictive substance in cigarettes is nicotine. When people smoke, the nicotine goes right into the blood and makes people feel relaxed. A smoker’s body gets used to the nicotine and if he stops smoking, he feels nervous.Another reason is that people simply enjoy smoking. Having a cigarette for many people means taking a rest. Some people, for example, enjoy a cigarette after dinner. Many people enjoy smoking because it gives you something to do with your hands.Many people also like the taste of tar in cigarettes. However, it’s the tar that causes cancer. While governments and health experts have tried to get people to give up smoking entirely, cigarette manufacturers have tried to keep catching them by producing cigarettes with less tar. Many people have welcomed the cigarettes since they find it hard to stop smoking but want to reduce the danger to their health.21. One of the reasons for smoking is that .A. people become addicted to cigarettes.B. smoking isn’t as harmful as we used to think.C. many people prefer the smell of nicotine.D. our bodies need nicotine in cigarettes.22. Once an addicted smoker stops smoking, he feels .A. cheerfulB. pleasedC. nervousD. disappointed23. “Tar” is a kind of substance in cigarettes which can cause .A. fluB. cancerC. hepatitisD. SARS24. The word “catching” in the last paragraph means .A. sniffingB. detectingC. attractingD. preserving25. Since it is difficult for many people to stop smoking, the probable solutionmay lie in .A. producing cigarettes without nicotineB. producing cigarettes without tarC. producing cigarettes without nicotine and tarD. producing cigarettes with less tarPassage 2Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passageThere was once a man in South America who had a parrot, a pet bird that could imitate human speech. The parrot was unique. There was no other bird like him in the whole world. He could learn to say any word except one. He could not say the name of his native town—Katano. The man did everything he could to teach the parrot to say “Katano”, but he never succeeded. At first he was very gentle with the bird, but gradually he lost his temper. “You stupid bird! Why can’t you learn to say the word? Say ‘Katano’ or I’ll kill you!” But the bird would never repeat the name. Finally the man gave up. He picked up the parrot and threw him into the chicken house. “You are even more stupid than the chickens.”In the chicken house, there are four old chickens, waiting to be killed for Sunday’s dinner.The next morning, when he went out to the chicken house, the man opened the door. He was shocked by what he saw. He could not believe his eyes and ears. On the floor lay three dead chickens! The parrot was screaming at the fourth, “Say ‘Katano’, or I’ll kill you!”26. Why was the parrot unique?A. Because it was a pet.B. Because it could imitate human speech.C. Because it could learn to say most of human’s vocabulary.D.

A Talking ParrotPassage 3Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passageLast week when I was watching TV news, the announcer, whose name was Ralph Story, said something that caught my attention. “All great discoveries,” he said, “are made by people between the ages of twenty-five and thirty.”Being a little over thirty myself, I wanted to disagree with him. The next day I spent several hours in the public library looking up ages of famous people and their discoveries. Ralph was right.But why don’t best years come after thirty? After thirty, I guess, most people don’t want to take risks or try new ways. Then I thought of people like Shakespeare and Picasso. The former was writing wonderful works at the age of fifty, while the latter was still trying new ways of painting when he was ninety! Perhaps there is still hope for me.31. What drew the author’s attention?A. The announcer.B. The name “Ralph Story”.C. The news that was broadcast.D. The discoveries people had made.32. What was the news about?A. People had made many great discoveries.B. The age range of the people who made great discoveries.C. The younger people are, the more discoveries they will be able to make.D. The older people are, the more discoveries they will be able to make.33. Why did the author disagree with the announcer?A. Because he knew a lot about the topic.B. Because he was in his early 30s.C. Because the announcer always misled his audience.D. Because he would not want to believe the news until he could confirm.34. What did the author do to make sure of the news?A. He consulted some books in library.B. He spent several hours in thinking.C. He inquired of some famous people.D. He made an investigation himself.35.

Each passage is followed by some questions. For each of them there are four choices marked A., B., C., and D.. You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:Philanthropy is a way that people and organizations show concern for others or work to improve the world. Approximately 72 percent of Americans donate to charity (慈善机构), and 51 percent do volunteer work. About 2 millions not-for-profit organizations and charities in the United States today receive this help.There are three types of philanthropists: individuals, foundations, and private corporations. Individuals give money or volunteer their time tosupport causes that are important to them. Foundations are organizations started by very wealthy individuals. Their “business” is not to make a profit but to give money away to not-for-profits. Private corporations may also use a portion of their business profits to make donations, or they may give away their products or services free of charge. However, foundations and corporations are responsible for only 20 percent of charitable donations; 80 percent comes from individuals.What makes people and institutions give away their time and money? One reason is altruism, the unselfish desire to help other people and make the world a better place. Other reasons involve personal interest. Under US tax law, an individual or business does not have to pay income tax on money that is donated to charity. For extremely wealthy individuals and corporations, this can mean millions of dollars they do not have to pay in taxes to the government. In addition to tax benefits, donors often receive favorable publicity for making donations, and they have an opportunity to influence the world around them.31. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?A. Philanthropy has become an accepted American custom.B. Philanthropy has made the US a great influence in the world.C. More and more organizations rely on philanthropy nowadays.D. Religion plays an important role in the philanthropy in the US.32. Which of the following is NOT characteristic of philanthropists?A.

The government.D. Private corporations.34. How are foundations different from private corporations in the aspect ofphilanthropy?A. They don’t make a profit.B. They receive more publicity.C. They are set up by very rich individuals.D. They don’t donate money to individuals.35. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. Individuals tend to donate money to become famous.B. Foundations gain more power because of philanthropy.C. Some people donate money for practical purposes.D. The US tax law discourages people from donating money.Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage:A lot of people think that if they put off the decision of whether they want to stay in or leave their relationships, the problems they are having will magically somehow heal themselves or disappear. They won’t.If you don’t invest some quality time now in taking a true, honest and truthful look at the state of your relationship, you could stay stuck in this place of indecision for a very long time. Many people waste so much precious time when they could be experiencing an incredible relationship filled with love, passion and joy, either in their current relationship or one that is more of what they want. We encourage you to take an honest look at your situation and feel how much pain you’ve been feeling about this relationship. If having a great relationship is important to you, you need to decide that you’re not willing to live without the love, passion, intimacy, and tenderness. You have to take the first step to create the kind of relationship and love you want in your life.We’re not suggesting that you should leave your current relationship or marriage and head out looking for the new love of your life. That’s your decision and one that should only be made after some careful insight andthinking. What we are telling you is that life is too short to go through it without having the love you want and the love that’s possible for all of us. If you are in a relationship that is causing you to wonder whether you should stay in it or leave—it’s important that you take some time now to make it clear so that you’ll be able to ask yourself openly and honestly whether you’ll be able to heal the challenges.36.

Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements with no more than 10 words. Be sure to write your answers on Answer Sheet (2).German careers or jobs fall into several categories. First, there are positions that require strong ability in German with a company in Germany, Austria or Switzerland. This category may also include a job requiring good German and/or bilingual (双语的) skills within a company doing business in the US, Canada, Mexico or elsewhere. Secondly, there are jobs that can be done in English in German Europe. Then there are German companies abroad.Most minor and many major positions are filled by recruiting German, Austrian or Swiss nationals. If you are already in German Europe, you may have a better chance of finding a job. In any case, it is best if your company can handle all the formalities involved when a foreign national takes a job in Germany. There are also relocation services that can help with this if you don’t have any ideas yourself.The German unemployment rate has remained at a fairly high level over the last decade. It is almost impossible for a non-German to get a job in Germany unless she/he can prove that it can’t be done by a German national. In certain fields, such as computer science or information systems, “green card” foreign workers have been imported, but this practice is still uncommon. The reality of searching for and finding a suitable position in German Europe or with a German firm means two main things: knowledgeand planning. Too many times, job seekers have unrealistic expectations. Often they overestimate their language skills and underestimate the level of competition. Another danger is ignoring culture shock. That’s why we also offer links to culture-related sites.For getting most German jobs, it is your ability in a field—computers, teaching, advertising, etc.—rather than your German skills that will be the biggest factor in a successful search. But all other things being equal between you and another candidate, it is the person with the best language skills who usually gets the job.41. What is the requirement of the job within a company doing business in theUS, Canada, Mexico or elsewhere included in the first category?42. What might the company do for the benefit of a foreign employee?43. What seems to be “hot” fields if you are to find a job in German?44. What is the reason for the author to offer links to culture-related sites?45. What is more important to get most German jobs according to the passage?Part III Vocabulary and Structure (25 marks)Section A (15 marks, 0.5 mark each)Directions: There are 30 incomplete sentences in this part.
