One step is to make sure that the house seems a lived-in one. Living room curtains should be pulled down only half-way. Bedrooms that usually have the curtains pulled down at night should be left down . Another is to make sure that all outside locks are the dead-bolt type (双保险) . Still another is to leave several 100W lights burning and make sure that one is in the kitchen.Lights that turned on and off by themselves are the best. Then, too, it is a good idea to leave the radio turned on and set to a talking station. Any type of speaking makes a thief think twice before trying to enter. Finally, while away on holiday, make sure that nothing collects in front or in the house. Particularly, make certain that the newspaper is stopped and thata trusted neighbour has been asked to pick up the mail. Thieves are especially quick to notice piled-up newspapers and overpiled mail boxes.36. Why did the writer begin this piece with question?A. Because he wanted to catch the readers' attention.B. Because he wanted to have the readers guess the answer before reading.C. Because he wanted to sum up (概括) the topic of the piece.D. Because he wanted to make the readers understand him better.37. The word "live-in" in this passage means ______________.A. left emptyB. lively and cheerfulC. now being used by peopleD. laid inside38. What does the writer advise the people to do?A. Ask a neighbour to pick up the daily mailB. Make sure to have lights that turn on and off by themselves.C. Make sure the newspaper is handed over every day.D. Pull the living room curtains down.39. The most important room to leave a light burning in is the _________.A. bedroomB. kitchenC. living roomD. sitting-room( B )Mr Richards has worked in a small seaside town for about ten years and he and his wife have a comfortable house near the sea.During the winter they would be quite happy, but every summer a lot of their relatives used to spend holiday in their house, and it was much cheaper than staying in hotel . Finally one day in June Mr Richards complained to a clever friend of his who lived in the same place. "One of my wife's cousins is going to bring her husband and children and spend ten days with us next month again. How have you prevented all your relatives from coming to live with you in summer ?" "Oh,"the friendanswered, "that is not difficult. I just borrow money from allthe rich ones, and lend it to all the poor ones. After that, they seldom come again." Hearing this Mr Richards smiled.40.

The standard influence(影响)of massproduction whose agents(代理商)are the travellingsalesman, the mail-order house, the five-and-ten cent stores, the chain stores, the movies can hardly explain it. If you stay two days in Bologna and in Ferrare, or in Arles and in Avignon, you will never mix them up in all your life. But it may well happen that after you spend two days in St.Louis and in Kansas City the appearances of these two cities soon mix up. I thinkthe reason for this is that these towns have not yet had time enough to develop their own characters. Similarly, children are much less different from each other than grown people.44. Which two of the following towns look so much alike?A. Bologna and FerrareB. Arles and AvignonC. St. Louis and Kansas CityD. Bologna and St. Louis45. In line 4 the word "it" refers to ____________.A. standard of townsB. similarity of townsC. people's memoryD. mass production46. American towns look very much alike because of ____________.A. the standard influence of mass productionB. their different appearancesC. not being fully developedD. having everything in common( D )Millions of stars are travelling about in space. A few form groups which journey together, but most of them travel alone.And they travel through a universe so large that one star seldom comes near to another. For the most part each star makes its journey in complete loneliness, like a ship on an empty ocean. The ship will be well over a million miles from its nearest neighbor. From this it is easy to understand why a star seldom finds another anywhere neat it.We believe, however, that some two thousand million years ago, another star wandering(漫游) through space, happened to comenear our sun, Just as the sun and the moon raise tides(潮汐)on the earth, so this star must have raised tides on the surface of the sun .But they were very different from the small tides that are raised in our oceans; a large tidal wave must have travelled over the surface of the sun, at last forming a mountain so high that we cannot imagine it. As the causeof the disturbance(动荡) came nearer, so the mountain rose higher and higher. And before the star began to move away again, its tidal pull had become so powerful that this mountain was torn to pieces and threw off small parts of itself into space.These small pieces have been going round the sun ever since. They are the planets(行星).47. Millions of stars are _______________.A. following a regular path in spaceB. moving about without a fixed courseC. seldom wandering about in the universeD. always travelling together48. Some two thousand million years ago, the mountain onthe sun was raised probably because __________.A. a large tidal wave of a star travelled over the surface of the sunB. another star happened to come near the sunC. the sun and the moon raised the tides on the earthD. the star moved away from the sun49. The article suggests that _____________ .A. our earth exists before the sunB. how space formedC. no one knows where the earth comes fromD. our earth used to be a high mountain on the sun50. The expression "the cause of the disturbance" refers to _________.A. the large tidal waveB. the powerful tidal pullC. the star coming near the sunD. one of the sun's planets51. In this article, the writer mainly wants to tell the readers __________.A. that the universe is so large that we cannot imagine itB. how the high mountains were formed on the sunC. why the tides over the surface of the sun were so powerfulD. where the planets in the universe came from( E )Contacts(交往) between Japan and the rest of the world have grown a great deal in the twentieth century. In the last thirty years, business contacts between Japan and the West have become very important. Many foreign companies now have offices inJapan and Japanese businessmen do business around theworld.Differences between Japanese and Western ways of doing business, however, often bewilder the foreign businessman and makedoing business in Japan difficult for foreigners.The American businessman, for example , wants of start talking business immediately . He wants quick decisions. He does notwait. The Japanese, on the other hand , likes to arrive at decisions gradually after giving them a great deal of thought.Another thing foreign businessmen have difficulty in understanding is when a Japanese means "Yes" or "No". This is becauseof cultural difference for a Japanese to say "No" directly.In English, it is easy to say "No" to something we do not want to do. But in Japan it is very difficult to say "No". Torefuse an invitation or a request with "No", or a similar phrase, is felt to be impolite. It is thought to be selfish(自私)and unfriendly. So instead of saying "No" directly, the Japanese have developed many ways to avoid saying "No". These enable them to avoid hurting other people's feeling. However, this often makes communication with the Japanese difficultfor foreigners to understand and follow.52. Paragraph one tells us that ______________ .A. It is not always easy for foreigners to do business in JapanB. Japan is a very important country for businessmenC. business contacts between Japan and the West are importantD.

Stock markets in Paris, London, Tokyo, Shanghai and New York are among the largest and most well-known. The stock, also called stock exchange, is a place where people can buy or sell shares of a factory or company. And each share means certain ownership of a factory or company.Different people go to stock markets. Some are rich, who want to get more money than they have. Others are not very rich, who buy stocks to try to become rich. Still others buy stocks as part of their plan to save money.Of course, investing（投资）money in the stock market is not the safest way to make money. No one can tell exactly whether the shares will be doing well. The factory or company may do badly. Then the stocks will go down, and the investors will lose money. The stock may go up or down for a number of untold reasons. Everyone wants the stock to go up, but sometimes even if a factory or company does a good job, the stock may still go down.No wonder going to the stock market is often compared to gambling（赌博）.All are eager to make money by " gambling " in the stock market. Factories and companies that need money are pleased that so many people are willing to "gamble". Indeed, the stock market is an attractive and complex part of the business world.36. If you are a good investor, _____in the stock market.A.you can always make moneyB. you can tell exactly when the stock goes up or downC. you may sometimes lose moneyD. your gambling is always safe37. The passage mainly wants to tell us _____.A. how to buy or sell sharesB. A B C of stock marketC. the stock market is like gamblingD. investing money in the stock market is not the safest way38. Factories and companies are pleased that so many people "gamble" because _____.A. they can make them richB. they need more people to work for themC. they need their money to do businessD. some people win and some lose39. The word "complex" in the last sentence probably means _____.A. completeB. WorthyC. difficultD. modernB"As I stood in front of the grave(墓)of President Richard Nixon, I was thinking about the time 25 years ago when this president helped bring the United States and China closer together. Young people of our two countries should help this relationship grow."This remark was made by a Shanghai student when speaking to his fellow students at the Nixon Library in California, U.S.A. He was one of 80 middle school students from China attending a month-long "Youth Summit". The Summit was to mark the 25th anniversary （周年）of President Nixon's journey to China, which was the turning point in China-U.S. relations.The Youth Summit was aimed at increasing understanding and friendship between young students of the two countries through visits and discussions. Seventy-five American students were selected to visit China. They also visited the Nixon Library on July 21 before leaving for Beijing the next day. The head of the Library said he was pleased to see the American and Chinese students talking and laughing together.One Chinese student said, "I didn't find it particularly difficult to talk with Americans. We have our differences, but we have a lot in common. Dialogue is good for us."40.
