At first, the producers of the movie told Taylor that she was too small to play the part of Velvet. However, they waited for her for a few months as she exercised and trained--and added three inches to her height in four months! Her acting in National Velvet is still considered the best by a child actress.Elizabeth Taylor was born in London in 1932. Her parents, both Americans, had moved there for business reasons. When World War II started, the Taylors moved to Beverly Hills, California, and there Elizabeth started acting in movies. After her success as a child star, Taylor had no trouble moving into adult(成人)roles and won twice for Best Actress: Butterfield 8 (1960) and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? ( 1966 )Taylor' s fame(名声) and popularity gave her a lot of power with the movie industry, so she was able to demand very high pay for her movies. In 1963, she received $ 1 million for her part in Cleopatra--the highest pay received by any star up to that time.Elizabeth Taylor is a legend (传奇人物) of our times. Like Velvet Brown in National Velvet, she had been lucky, and she had beauty, fame and wealth. But she was also a hard worker. Taylor seldom acted in movies any more. Instead, she put her time and efforts into her businesses, and into helping others--several years ago, she founded an organization that has raised more than $ 40 million for research and education.26. The producers didn' t let Taylor play the part of Velvet at first because they thought she _________.A. was small in sizeB. was too youngC. did not play well enoughD. did not show much interest27. What Elizabeth Taylor and Velvet Brown had in common was that they were both _________.A. popular all their livesB. famous actressesC. successful when very youngD. rich and kindhearted28. Taylor became Best Actress at the age of _________.A. 12B. 28C. 31D. 3429. In her later life, Elizabeth Taylor devoted herself to _________.A. doing business and helping othersB. turning herself into a legendC. collecting money for the poorD. going about research and education work(B)More than 6000 children were expelled(开除) from US schools last year for bringing guns and bombs to school, the US Department of Education said on May 8.The department gave a report on the expulsions as saying handguns accounted for 58 percent of the 6093 expulsions in 1996--1997, against 7 percent for rifles(步枪) or shotguns and 35 percent for other types of firearms."The report is a clear sign that our nation' s public schools are cracking down (严惩) on students who bring guns to school", Education Secretary Richard Riey said in a statement, "We need to be tough-minded(坚强的) about keeping guns out of our schools and do everything to keep our children safe. "In March 1997, an ll-year-old boy and a 13-year-old using handguns and rifles shot dead four children and a teacher at a school in Jonesboro, Arkansas. In October, two were killed and seven wounded in a shooting at a Mississippian school. Two months later, a 14-year-old boy killed three high school students and wounded five in Daducab, Kentucky.[page] " Most of the expulsions(开除), 56 percent, were from high schools, which have students from about age 13, 34 percent were from junior high schools and 9 percent were from elementary schools. " The report said.30. From the first paragraph we can infer that in US schools _________.A. students enjoy shootingB. students are eager to be soldiersC. safety is a problemD. students can make guns31. The report from the US Department of Education shows that_________.A. the number of the expulsions is now largeB. the number of the expulsions is wrongC. there are soldiers hiding among the studentsD. guns are out of control in US schools32. The main idea of Paragraph Four shows us _________.A. some examples of shootings in US schoolsB. the Americans' feelingC. some famous schoolsD. that some teachers were killed by students33. How many students were shot dead in 1997 in US schools?A. 10B. 9C. 12D. 2234. From this passage we know that _________.A. every American cannot have gunsB. only soldiers and the police can have gunsC. every American citizen can own gunsD. teachers have no money to buy guns(C)In meditation (冥想), people sit quietly and focus their attention on their breath. As they breathe in and out, they attend to their feelings. As thoughts go through their minds, they let them go. Breathe. Let go. Breathe. Let go.According to a recent study at the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, Massachusetts, three months of training in this kind of meditation causesa marked change in how the brain allocates( 分配) attention. It appears that the ability to let go thoughts that come into mind frees the brain to attend to more rapidly changing things and events in the outside world. Expert mediators are better than other people at catching suchfast-changing stimuli(刺激), like facial expressions.The study provides evidence for changes in the workings of the brain with mental training. People can learn and improve abilities of all sorts with practice, everything from driving to playing the piano. The study has shown that meditation is good for the brain. It appears to reduce pressure and promote a sense of well-being.In an experiment, 17 volunteers with no meditation experience in the experimental group spent three months meditating 10 to 12 hours a day.A control group also with no meditation experience meditated for 20 minutes a day over the same period. Both groups were then given the tests with two numbers in a group of letters. As both groups looked for the numbers, their brain activity was recorded.Everyone could catch the first number. But the brain recordings showed that the less experienced mediators tended to grasp the first number and hang onto it, so they missed the second number. Those with more experience gave less attention to the first number, as if letting it go, which led to an increased ability to grasp the second number. This shows that attention can change with practice.Just ask Daniel Levision, who meditated for three months as part of the study. "I am a much better listener," he said, "I do not get lost in my own personal reaction to what people are saying. "[page]35. The underlined word "them" in Paragraph 1 refers to _________.A. feelingsB. mindsC. peopleD. thoughts36. Meditators manage their daily tasks better because they_________.A. are given less pressureB. allocate their attention betterC. have more stimuli for lifeD. practice them more frequently37. In the experiment, volunteers doing meditation for longer hours _________.A. were more likely to catch both of the membersB. were used to memorizing numbers in groupsC. usually ignored the first number observedD. paid more attention to numbers than to letters38. The study proves that _________.A. meditation improves one's healthB. brain activity can be recordedC. human attention can be trainedD. mediators have a good sense of hearing(D)All her life, my mother wanted busy children. It was very important that her house should remain at all things clean and tidy.You could turn your back for a moment in my mother' s house, leave a half written letter on the dining table, a magazine open on the chair, and turn around to find that my mother had "put it back where it belonged," as she explained. My wife, on one of her first visits to my mother' s house, placed a packet of biscuits on an end table and went to the kitchen to fetch a drink. When she returned, she found the packet had been removed. Confused (疑惑的), she set down her drink and went back to the kitchen for more biscuits, only to return to find that her drink had disappeared. Up to then she had guessed that everyone in my family held onto their drinks so as not to make water rings on the end tables. Now she knows better.These disappearances had a confusing effect on our family. We were all inclined to (有......的倾向) forgetfulness, and it was common for one of us, upon returning from the bathroom, to find the every sign of his work in progress had disappeared suddenly. "Do you remember what I was doing?" was a question frequently asked, but rarely answered.Now my sister has developed a secondhand love of clean windows, and my brother does the cleaning in his house, perhaps to avoid having to be the one to lift his feet. I try not to think about it too much, but I have at this later time started to dust the furniture once a week.39. Which of the following is TRUE about my mother?A. She enjoyed removing others' drinks.B. She became more and more forgetful.C. She preferred to do everything by herself.D. She wanted to keep her house in good order.40. My wife could not find her biscuits and drink in my mother' s house because _________.A. she had already finished themB. my mother had taken them awayC. she forgot where she had left themD. someone in my family was holding them _________.[page]41. The underlined part in the fourth paragraph suggests that my sisterA. is happy to clean windowsB. loves to clean used windowsC. is fond of cleaning used windowsD. likes to clean windows as my mother did42. This passage mainly tells us that _________.A. my mother often made us confusedB. my family members had a poor memoryC. my mother helped us to form a good habitD. my wife was surprised when she visited my motherⅣ.短文改错/Proofreading and error correctionI like music very much, especial pop songs.

But what are these really, and how do they operate?Leadership today is not about forcing others to do things. If this is even possible, it is shortterm, and tends to backfire. If you order someone to do something against their will, they maydo it because they feel they must, but the anger they feel will do more harm in the long-term. They will also experience fear.Fear causes the thinking brain to shut down, making the person unable to function at his or her best. If they associate you with this emotion of fear, they will become less functional around you, and you will have succeeded in not only shooting yourself in the foot, but possibly making a very good employee or partner unable to perform effectively. Fear has no place in leadership.The way we influence people in a lasting way is by our own character, and our understanding and use of emotion. We can order someone to do something, which may be part of the workday; or we can employ them at the emotional level, so they become fully devoted to the projects and provide some of their own motivation(积极性). Today's workplace is all about relationships as a human being as well as a worker. Everyone produces just a bit more for someone they like. Leaders understand the way things work. They know the paycheck is not the single most motivating factor (因素)in the work life of most people.The true strength of leadership is an inner strength that comes from the confidence of emotional intelligence--knowing your own emotions, and how to handle them, and those of others. Developing your emotional intelligence is the single best thing you can do if you want to develop your relationships with people around you, which is the key to the leadership skills.21. An employee may have a feeling of fear in the workplace when _________.4贵州分校：事业单位微信二维码：gzsydwksA. he is forced to do thingsB. be cannot work at his bestC. he feels his brain shut downD. he thinks his work is too heavy22. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. People tend to associate leadership with fear.B. Working conditions affect people' s physical health.C. Good relationship is the key to business success.D. Smart people are more functional in the workplace.23. To positively influence employees a leader should first of all _________.A. provide better suggestionsB. develop his own personalityC. give his employees a pay raiseD. hide his own emotion of fear24. Good leadership is mainly seen in a leader' s ability to _________.A. provide a variety of projects for employeesB. help raise employees' living standardsC. give employees specific instructionsD. deal wisely with employees' emotionsBBesides entertainment and beautiful lanterns, another important part of the Lantern Festival, or Yuanxiao Festival is eating small dumpling balls made of glutinous rice flour. We call these balls Yuanxiao or Tangyuan. Obviously, they get the name from the festival itself. It is said that the custom of eating Yuanxiao originated during the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the fourth century, then became popular during the Tang and Song periods.The fillings inside the dumplings or Yuanxiao are either sweet or salty. Sweet fillings are made of sugar, walnuts, sesame(芝麻), osmanthus flowers(桂花), rose5贵州分校：事业单位微信二维码：gzsydwkspetals, sweetened tangerine(橘子) peel, bean paste, or jujube paste(枣子酱). A single ingredient or any combination can be used as the filling. The salty variety is filled with minced meat(肉末儿), vegetables or a mixture.The way to make Yuanxiao also varies between northern and southern China. The usual method followed in southern provinces is to shape the dough of rice flour into balls, make a hole, insert the filling, then close the hole and smooth out the dumpling by rolling it between your hands. In North China, sweet or nutmeat stuffing is the usual ingredient. The fillings are pressed into hardened cores, dipped lightly in water and rolled in a flat basket containing dry glutinous rice flour. A layer of the flour sticks to the filling, which is then again dipped in water and rolled a second time in the rice flour. And so it goes, like rolling a snowball, until the dumpling is the desired size.The custom of eating Yuanxiao dumplings remains. This tradition encourages both old and new stores to promote their Yuanxiao products. They all try their best to improve the taste and quality of the dumplings to attract more customers.25. Which of the following is NOT true?A. The custom of eating Yuanxiao dates back to the fourth century.B. Sugar, rose petals and minced meat are all fillings of Yuanxiao.C. Sweet Yuanxiao is usually made in southern China.D. People in northern China usually make Yuanxiao by rolling it like a snowball.26. Which country does the Lantern Festival come from?A. China.B.

Why do we eat Yuanxiao today?A. Because it' s a tradition.B. Because it' s a kind of tasty food.C. Because we love our country.D. Because this food can make money.CAs a professor at a large American university, there is a phrase that I hear often from students: "I'm only a 1050. "The unlucky students are speaking of the score on the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), which is used to determine whether they will be admitted to the college or university of their choice, or even have a chance to get a higher education at all. The SAT score, whether it is 800, 1100 or 1550, has become the focus at this time of their life.It is obvious that if students value highly their test scores, then a great amount of their self-respect is put in the number. Students who perform poorly on the exam are left feeling that it is all over. The low test score, they think, will make it impossible for them to get into a good college. And without a degree from a prestigious university, they fear that many of life' s doors will remain forever closed.7贵州分校：事业单位微信二维码：gzsydwksAccording to a study done in the 1990s, the SAT is only a reliable indicator of a student' s future performance in most cases. Interestingly, it becomes much more accurate when it is set together with other indicators--like a student' s high school grades. Even if standardized tests like the SAT can show a student' s academic proficiency, they will never be able to test things like confidence, efforts and willpower, and are unable to give us the full picture of a student' s potentialities (潜力). This is not to suggest that we should stop using SAT scores in our college admission process. The SAT is an excellent test in many ways, and the score is still a useful means of testing students. However, it should be only one of many methods used.30. The purpose of the SAT is to test students'A. strong willB. academic abilityC. full potentialitiesD. confidence in schoolwork31. Students' self-respect is influenced by their _________.A. scores in the SATB. achievements in mathematicsC. job opportunitiesD. money spent on education32. A "prestigious university" is most probably _________.A. a famous universityB. a technical universityC. a traditional universityD. an expensive university33. This passage is mainly about _________.A. how to prepare for the SATB. the stress caused by the SATC. American higher education8贵州分校：事业单位微信二维码：gzsydwksD. the SAT and its effectsDThe days of elderly women, doing nothing but cooking huge meals on holidays are gone. Enter the Red Hat Society---a group holding the belief that old ladies should have fun."My grandmothers didn't do anything but keep house and serve everybody. They were programmed to do that," said Emily Cornette, head of a chapter of the 7-year-old Red Hat Society.While men have long spent their time fishing and playing golf, women have sometimes seemed to become unnoticed as they age. But the generation now turning 50 is the baby boomers(生育高峰期出生的人), and the same people who refused their parents' way of being young are now trying a new way of growing old.If you take into consideration feminism(女权主义), a bit of spare money, and better health for most elderly, the Red Hat Society looks almost inevitable (必然的). In this society, women over 50 wear red hats and purple(紫色的) clothes, while the women under 50 wear pink hats and light purple clothing."The organization took the idea from a poem by Jenny Joseph that begins: When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple. With a red hat which doesn' t go," said Ellen Cooper, who founded the Red Hat Society in 1998. When the ladies started to wear the red hats, they attracted lots of attention."The point of this is that we need a rest from always doing something for someone else," Cooper said, "Women feel so ashamed and sorry when they do something for themselves. " This is why chapters are discouraged from raising money or doing anything useful. "We' re a ladies' play group. It couldn' t be more simple," added Cooper' s assistant Joe Heywood.34. The underlined word "chapter" in Paragraph 2 means _________.A. one branch of an organizationB. a written agreement of a clubC. one part of a collection of poemsD. a period in a society's history35. From the text, we know that the "baby boomers" are a group of people who9贵州分校：事业单位微信二维码：gzsydwks_________.A. have gradually become more noticeableB. are worried about getting old too quicklyC. are enjoying a good life with plenty of money to spendD. try living a different life from their parents when they were young36. It could be inferred from the text that members of the Red Hat Society are _________.A. interested in raising money for social workB. programmers who can plan well for their futureC. believers in equality between men and womenD. good at cooking big meals and taking care of others37. Who set up the Red Hat Society?A. Emily Cornette.B. Ellen Cooper.C. Jenny Joseph.D. Joe Heywood.38. Women join the Red Hat Society because _________.A. they want to stay youngB. they would like to appear more attractiveC. they would like to have fun and live for themselvesD. they want to be more like their parentsⅣ.汉英翻译/Translation39.他自己管理这家公司。

Unlike other productive authors who write one book at a time，she can work on up to five. Her research time before writing takes at least three years. Once she has fully studied her subjects， ready to dive into a book， she can spend twenty hours nonstop at her desk.Danielle Steel comes from New York and was sent to France for her education. After graduation， she worked in the public relations and advertising industries. Later she started a job as a writer which she was best fit for. Her achievements are unbelievable : 390 million copies of books in print， nearly fifty New York Times best-selling novels， and a series of "Max and Martha" picture books for children to help them deal with the real-life problems of death， new hobbies and new schools. Her 1998 book about the death of her son shot to the top of the New York Times best-selling list as soon as it came out. Twenty-eight of her books have been made into films. She is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for one of her books being the Times best-seller for 381 weeks straight.Not content with a big house， a loving family， and a view of the Golden Gate Bridge， Danielle Steel considers her readers to be the most important resource(资源) and has kept in touch with them by e-mail. While she is often compared to the heroines(女主人公) of her own invention， her life is undoubtedly much quieter. But，if she does have anything in common with them， it is her strength of will and her inimitable(无与伦比的) style. There is only one Danielle Steel.26. Danielle Steel is different from other writers in thatA. she can write several books at the same timeB. she often does some research before writing a bookC. she is one of the most popular American women writersD. she can keep writing for quite a long time without a break27. Children who have read "Max and Martha" picture books may knowA. how to deal with affairs at schoolB. what to do if Max and Martha dieC. what to do when new babies are born into their familiesD. how to solve the difficult problems in their writing classes28. One of Danielle Steel' s achievements is thatA. some TV plays were based on her booksB. her picture books attracted a lot of young menC. one of her books became a best-seller in 1998D. she wrote the Guinness Book of World Records29. We can learn from the passage that Danielle SteelA. lives an exciting lifeB. values her readers a lotC. writes about quiet womenD. is pleased with her achievementsBSome futurologists have assumed that the vast upsurge (剧增) of women in the workforce may portend a rejection of marriage. Many women， according to this hypothesis， would rather work than marry. The converse (反面)of this concern is that the prospects of becoming a multi-paycheck household could encourage marriage. In the past， only the earnings and financial prospects of the man counted in the marriage decision. Now， however， the earning ability of a woman can make her more attractive as a marriage partner. Data show that economic downturns tend to put off marriage because the parties cannot afford to establish a family or are concerned about rainy days ahead. As the economy comes to life， the number of marriages also rises.The increase in divorce rates follows， with the increase in women working outside the home. Yet， it may be wrong to jump to any simple cause-and-effect conclusions. The impact of a wife' s work on divorce is no less cloudy than its impact on marriage decisions. The realization that she can be a good provider may increase the chances that a working wife will choose divorce over an unsatisfactory marriage. But the reverse is equally plausible(似是而非的). Tensions grounded in financial problems often play a key role in ending a marriage. By raising a family' s standard of living， a working wife may strengthen her family' s financial and emotional stability.Psychological factors also should be considered. For example， a wife blocked from a career outside the home may feel caged in the house. She may view her only choice as seeking a divorce. On the other hand， if she can find fulfillment through work outside the home， work and marriage can go together to create a stronger and more stable union.Also， a major part of women' s inequality in marriage has been due to the fact that， in most cases， men have remained the main breadwinners. A working wife may rob a husband of being the master of the house. Depending upon how the couple reactsto these new conditions， it could create a stronger equal partnership or it could create new insecurities.30. The word "portend" (Line 2， Para. 1 ) is closest in meaning to _________.A. defyB. signalC. suffer fromD. result from31. It is said in the passage that when the economy slides.A. men would choose working women as their marriage partnersB. more women would get married to seek financial securityC. even working women would worry about their marriagesD. more people would prefer to remain single for the time being32. If women find fulfillment through work outside the home，A. they are more likely to dominate their marriage partnersB. their husbands are expected to do more houseworkC. their marriage ties can be strengthenedD. they tend to put their career before marriage33. One reason why women with no career may seek a divorce is thatA. they feel that they have been robbed of their freedomB. they are afraid of being bossed around by their husbandsC. they feel that their partners fail to live up to their expectationsD. they tend to Suspect their husbands' loyalty to their marriage34. Which of the following statements can best summarize the author' s view in the passage?A. The stability of marriage and the divorce rote may reflect the economic situation of the country.B. Even when economically independent， most women have to struggle for real equality in mar-riage.C. In order to secure their marriage women should work outside the home and remain independent.D. The impact of the growing female workforce on marriage varies from case to case.CIt seems that politicians around the world are thinking about the health of their countries. While in China， Chen Zhu has announced his plans for a universal health service and reform across health services. Gordon Brown， the UK PrimeMinister， has also announced he is planning to make some changes in our health service.The crux of Mr. Brown' s proposals is related to giving the NHS ( National Health Service) a greater focus on prevention， rather than just curing patients.He is planning to introduce increased screening for common diseases such as heart disease， strokes and cancer， for example， breast cancer. In Britain there are 200，000 deaths a year from heart attacks and strokes， many of which might have been avoided if the condition had been known about.Initially， the diagnostic (诊断的) tests will be available for those who are vulnerable， or most likely to have the disease. One example is a plan to offer all men over 65 an ultrasound test to check for problems with the main artery (动脉)，a condition which kills 3，000 men a year. The opposition have criticized Mr. Brown' s proposals， saying that they are just a trick， and claiming that there is no proper timetable for the changes. They also say that Mr. Brown is reducing the money available for the treatment of certain conditions while putting more money towards testing for them.The NHS was founded in 1948， and is paid for by taxation. The idea is that the rich pay more towards the health service than the poor. However， in recent years there has been a great increase in the use of private health care， and it' s much quicker. The NHS waiting lists for operations can be very long， so many people who can afford it choose to pay for medical care themselves.35. The underlined word "vulnerable" in the fourth paragraph probably means _________.A. sickB. weakC. woundedD. old36. All the following statements are true except that _________.A. all people should pay for their health care at the NHSB. some people are against the reform of health careC. the writer is likely to come from BritainD. more money will be spent on testing people than before _________.37. Which of the following is the reason for the increasing private health care?A. People are paying more attention to their own health.B. People are well off enough to pay their health care.C. The NHS was not available for most of the people.D. It' s not so convenient for people to go to the NHS for their health care.38. According to the passage， the purpose of the health reform plan in the UK is to _________.A. encourage more private health careB. focus on the prevention rather than on curing the patientC. deal with the main artery problemsD. fight against the opposition in the UK39. The author of this passage intends to tell usA. the NHS should be reformed right awayB. more and more people are dying from diseasesC. the plan to reform the NHS in the UKD. the criticism of Mr. Brown' s proposalsDNew rules and behavior standards(行为规范) for middle school students came out in March. The Middle School is going to use a new way to decide who the top students are. The best students won' t only have high marks. They should not dye (染) their hair， smoke or drink because they are students. The following are some of the new rules.Have you ever copied someone else' s work in an exam? Don' t do that again !

Try to think of others， not only yourself.Be open to new ideas. Do you think people can live on the moon? Maybe you' 11 find another earth someday. Don' t look down on new ideas. Everyone' s ideas are important. You should welcome them， because new ideas make life better for everyone.Protect yourself. Has someone ever taken money from one of your classmates? Don' t let it happen to you. If you have to go home late， you should let your parents know.Use the Internet carefully. The Internet can be very useful for students. But some things on the Internet aren' t for children， so try to look at web pages (网页) that are good for you.40. What's the meaning of "look down on" in the passage?A. 向下看B. 轻视C. 在......上面看D. 上下打量41.

At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. Fortunately, such moments are usually not obvious(明显的) to the listeners. Why? Because thelisteners do not know what the speaker, plans to say. They hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will be any wiser. When such moments occur, don' t worry about them. Just continue as if nothing happened.Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that doesn' t really matter. If you have ever listened to Martin Luther King' s famous speech--"I have a Dream", you may notice that he stumbles (结巴) over his words twice during the speech. Most likely, however, you don't remember. Why? Because you were fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-making.People care a lot about making a mistake in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication(交流). They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating competition. But,in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect perform-er. They are looking for a well-though-out speech that expresses the speaker' s ideas clearly and directly. Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speaker' s attractiveness by making him more human.As you work on your speech, don' t worry about being perfect. Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely.31. The underlined part in the first paragraph means that no one willA. be smarter than youB. notice your mistakesC. do better than youD. know what you are talking about32. You don't remember obvious mistakes in a speech because _________.A. your attention is focused on the contentB. you don' t fully understand the speechC. you don' t know what the speaker plans to sayD. you find the way of speech-making more important33. It can be inferred from the passage that _________.A. giving a speech is like giving a performanceB. one or two mistakes in a speech may not be badC. the listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is madeD. the more mistakes a speaker makes, the more attractive he will beBEight Days from just ￡ 299Departs May--October 2005Includes :● Return flightsfrom 8 UK airports to Naples● Retu rn airport to hotel transport● Seven nights' accommodation at the 3 * Hotel Nice● The services of guides● Government taxesJoin us for a wonderful holiday in one of Europe' s most wonderful corners.

Jeb put his bag down quickly and pulled his jacket open with both hands, making himself look big to the cougar. It worked. The cougar hesitated, ready to attack Jeb, but ready to forget the whole thing, too.Jeb took off his jacket, grasped Tom and held him across his body, making a cross. Now the cougar' s enemy looked even bigger, and it rose up, ready to move away, but unfortunately Tom got scared and struggled free of Jeb."Tom, No!" shouted his father.But Tom broke and ran and that' s the last thing you do with a cougar. The second Tom broke free, Jeb threw himself on the cougar, just as it jumped from the rock. They hit each other in midair and both fell. The cougar was on Jeb in a flash, forgetting about Tom, which was what Jeb wanted. Cougars are not as big as most people think and a determined man stands a chance, even with just his fists. As the cougar' s claws got into his left shoulder, Jeb swung his fist at its eyes and hit hard. The animal howled(吼叫) and put its head back. Jeb followed up with his other fist. Then out of the comer of his eye, Jeb saw Tom. The boy was running back to help his father."Knife, Tom," shouted Jeb.The boy ran to his father' s bag, while Jeb started shouting as well as hitting, to keep the cougar's attention away from Tom. Tom got the knife and ran over to Jeb. The cougar was moving its head in and out, trying to find a way through the wall. Jeb was making out of his arms. Tom swung with the knife, into the cougar' s back. It howled horribly and ran off into the mountains.38. Why did Jeb pull his jacket open when he saw the cougar?A. To get ready to fight.B. To frighten it away.C. To protect the boy.D. To cool down.39. What do we know about cougars?A. They are afraid of noises.B. They hesitate before they hit.C. They are bigger than we think.D. They like to attack running people.40. How did Jeb try to hold the cougar' s attention?A. By keeping shouting and hitting.B. By making a wall out of his arms.C. By throwing himself on the cougar.D. By swinging his fists at the cougar' s eyes.41. Which of the following happened first?A. The cougar jumped from the rock.B. Tom struggled free of his father.C. Jeb asked Tom to get the knife.D. Jeb held Tom across his body.DThe Norwegian Government is doing its best to keep the oil industry under control.A new law limits exploration to an area south of the southern end of the long coastline； production limits have been laid down (though these have already been raised) ； and oil companies have not been allowed to employ more than a limited number of foreign workers. But the oil industry has a way of getting over such problems, and few people believe that the Government will be able to hold things back for long. As a Norwegian politician said last week: "We will soon be changed beyond all recognition. "Ever since the war, the Government has been carrying out a programme of development in the area north of the Arctic Circle. During the past few years this programme has had a great deal of success: Tromso has been built up into a local capital with a university, a large hospital and a healthy industry. But the oil industry has already started to draw people from the south, and within a few years the whole northern policy could be in ruins.The effects of the oil industry would not be limited to the north, however. With nearly 100 percent employment, everyone can see a situation developing in which the service industries and the tourist industry will lose more of their workers to the oil industry. Some smaller industries might even disappear altogether when it becomes cheaper to buy goods from abroad.The real argument over oil is its threat to the Norwegian way of life. Farmers and fishermen do not make up most of the population, but they are an important part of it, because the Norwegians see in them many of the qualities that they regard with pride as essentially Norwegian. And it is the farmers and the fishermen who are most critical of the oil industry because of the damage that it might cause to the countryside and to the sea.42. The Norwegian Government would prefer the oil" industry to _________.A. provide more jobs for foreign workersB. slow down the rate of its developmentC. sell the oil it is producing abroadD. develop more quickly than at present43. The Norwegian Government has tried to _________.A. encourage the oil companies to discover new oil sourcesB. prevent oil companies employing people from northern NorwayC. help the oil companies solve many of their problemsD. keep the oil industry to something near its present size44. According to the passage, the oil industry might lead northern Norway to _________.A. the development of industryB. a growth in population.C. the failure of the development programmeD. the development of new towns45. In the south, one effect to the development of the oil industry might be _________.A. a large reduction on unemploymentB. a growth in the tourist industryC. a reduction in the number of existing industriesD. the development of a number of service industries46. Norwegian farmers and fishermen have an important influence because _________.A. they form such a large part of the Norwegian idealB. their lives and values represent the Norwegian idealC. their work is so useful to the rest of Norwegian societyD. they regard oil as a threat to the Norwegian .way of lifeⅣ.汉英翻译47.长途旅行之后他们看起来很疲惫。

Before he left， he said to his son， "If anyone asks for me， you can tell him that your father has been out for doing something，and will be back in a week， then be sure to ask him to sit down for a cup of tea. ""OK， Dad，" said his son. But he was afraid his son couldn't remember this，so he wrote these words down on a piece of paper and gave it to him. His son put it into his small pocket， took it out and looked at it every now and then.Four days passed， but no one came to see his father. The boy thought that there was no man tocome and that the piece of paper was of no more use for him， so he burnt it that evening.The next afternoon， someone knocked at the door. The boy opened it. A man was standing at the door and said， "Where is your father?" The boy put his hand into his pocket at once and looked for the piece of paper. He could not find it. He suddenly remembered he had burnt it， so he shouted， "No more. "The man was very surprised. He asked， "No more? I met your father last week. When did it happen?""Burnt yesterday evening. "36.

You e an have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you will meet fair weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck， but when you are down， they will rtm away. How do I know when I have found a good friend?I look for certain qualities of character， especially understanding， honesty and reliability.Above all else， I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead， hetries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person's place， and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener.At the same time， however， a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults in others. He notices their good points. In short， a friend will try to understand me and accept me.Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time， I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor，he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble，he will not run away from me.There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives， and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things I like. We share experience and learn from each other.A good friend has a good sense of humor， too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.When I meet someone who is reliable， honest， and understanding， I know I've found a friend!41. Which of the following qualities the writer thinks is the most important in choosing a friend?A. Understanding.B. Honesty.C. Reliability.D. A sense of humor.42. If you have fair weather friends， _________.A. they will give you all that they have when you need helpB. you will be refused when you get into troubleC. you will become richD. you can be sure that you get real friends43. Good friends need to _________.A. always point out each other's mistakesB. be helped with moneyC. understand each other's feelingsD. have money or luck44. This passage mainly discuss _________.A. the qualities of a friendB. where to choose friendsC. how to get along with friendsD. the importance of having a friendCAllen : I' ve never been a big fan of the bears， especially the vacation show. On my last trip to Disneyland(1999) we passed it by， because we didn't want to spend the time on something we didn't really enjoy. If we'd known it would be closed by our next visit， I'm sure we would have watched it one more time. I was just making the point that it wasn' t until Disney announced the closing that this feeling suddenly sprang(弹跳) up for the C'ountry Bear show at Disneyland.But I think the idea of keeping some attractions open forever regardless of the number of visitors it gets is a mistake. We all have great memories of the Bears，but clearly very few kids today ( or I should say families today) are making those same memories from this show. That may be a sad fact， but it' s a fact. For whatever reason， the show doesn' t pull in the numbers. Isn' t it right to use the Country Bear space to bring in more popular attraction so that more kids today can make those magic memories of an attraction they like? Otherwise aren't we just telling the kids today that .they" have to" make great memories of the Bears， when it's obvious that the kids themselves are not enjoying the Bears as we did?Roger: I am very disappointed that they have decided to retire the Country Bear Playhouse. I remember going to the show as a child， and still enjoying it as a teenager， and now as a young adult. It is true that there aren' t a lot of shows left at DL and with this one closing even less. Being at DL does require a lot of walking， and it is nice to have an attraction that is a place to sit and enjoy a good show. I understand that DL has to develop， but there has to be some history to the Disney-land that Walt Disney first designed. There should be some parts of DL that just never go away and this is one of them. By the time I have children it looks like there won' t be any attractions that I can say. I went as a child at the rate they are going.Now the Bears are leaving. What I want to say is: stop trying to compete with everyone! DL is the best， because of attractions like the Country-Bears. If DL insists on destroying all of its magic to make way for the latest， well， then it might as well be just another theme park.45. What news might get people talking about the problem of the Country Bears?A. The Country Bear Playhouse will be closed.B. There will be a new attraction for our guests at Disneyland.C. The number of visitors to the Country Bear Playhouse is falling.D. The Bears will retire because of old age and can' t give shows any more.46. Allen spoke mainly to get this point across that _________.A. the Bears will be missedB. we should tell the kids today that they "have to" make great memories of the BearsC. the longtime attraction ought to make way for a future attractionD. people never care about what they have until all is lost47. Give the best choice to complete Roger' s idea: the Country Bears have beena part of Disney-land for nearly 30 years， _________.A. and I feel it is time to give our bears a good restB. but anyway， the attraction is no longer interestingC. but I know that Disneyland will always be changing， and I accept thatD. and I am sad that the Bears will be leaving48. Which of the following is NOT in the same group as the other three?A. An attraction.B. A theme park.C. The Bears.D. The latest magic.49. Where can this passage be found?A. In a Web discussion zone.B. In a suggestion book.C. In a report on the popularity of the Country Bears.D. In high school students' compositions.DOdland remembers as it was yesterday working in an expensive French restaurant in Denver. The ice cream he was serving fell onto the white dress of a rich and important woman.Thirty years have passed， but Odland can' t get the memory out of his mind，nor the woman' s kind reaction (反应). She was shocked， regained calmness and，in a kind voice， told young Odland， "It' s OK. It wasn' t your fault. " When she left the restaurant， she also left the future Fortune 500 CEO (总裁) with a life lesson: You can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she treats the waiter.Odland isn' t the only CEO to have made this discovery. Rather， it seems to be one of those few laws of the land that every CEO learns on the way up. It' s hard to get a dozen CEOs to agree about anything， but most agree with the Waiter Rule. They say how others treat the CEO says nothing. But how others treat the waiter is like a window into the soul.Watch out for anyone who pulls out the power card to say something hke， "I could cut this place and fire you，" or "I know the owner and I could have you fired." Those who say such things have shown more about their character(人品) than about their wealth and power.The CEO who came up with it， or at least first wrote it down， is Raytheon CEO Bill Swanson. He wrote a best-selling book called Swanson's Unwritten Rules of Management."A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter， or to others， is not a nice person，" Swanson says， "I will never offer a job to the person who is sweet to the boss but turns rude to someone cleaning the tables. "50. What happened after Odland dropped the ice cream onto the woman' s dress?A. He was fired.B. He was blamed.C. The woman comforted him.D. The woman left the restaurant at once.51. Odland learned one of his life lessons from _________.A. his experience as a waiterB. the advice given by the CEOs .C. an article in FortuneD. an interesting best-selling book52. According to the text， most CEOs have the same opinion about _________.A. Fortune 500 companiesB. the Management RulesC. Swanson' s bookD. the Waiter Rule53. From the text we can learn that _________.A. one should be nicer to important peopleB. CEOs often show their power before othersC. one should respect others no matter who they areD. CEOs often have meals in expensive restaurantsⅢ.短文改错/Proofreading and error correctionWe use both words and body language to express ourthoughts and opinions but to communicate with other 54. _________people.
