As a 17-year-old boy, I liked 16 better than driving our truck, 17 this time I couldn’t cheer up. My father had told me I’d have to ask for credit(赊账) at the store.Seventeen is a/an 18 age, when a young man wants respect more than anything else.

If you intend using humor in your talk to make people smile, you must know how to identify shared experiences and problems. Your humor must be relevant to the audience and should help to show them that you are one of them or that you understand their situation and are in sympathy with their point of view. Depending on whom you are addressing, the problems will be different. If you are talking to a group of managers, you may refer to the disorganized methods of their secretaries; if you are addressing secretaries, you may want to comment on their disorganized bosses.Here is an example, which I heard at a nurses' gathering, of a story which works well because the audience all shared the same view of doctors. A man arrives in heaven and is being shown around by an Angel. He sees wonderful accommodations, beautiful gardens, sunny weather and so on. Everyone is very peaceful, polite and friendly until, waiting in a line for lunch, the new arrival is suddenly pushed aside by a man in a white coat, who rushes to the head of the line, grabs his food and stomps over to a table by himself. "Who is that?" the new arrival asked the Angel. "Oh, that's God." came the reply, "but sometimes he thinks he's a doctor."If you feel awkward being humorous, you must practice so that it becomes more natural. Include a few casual and apparently off-the-cuff remarks which you can deliver in a relaxed and unforced manner. Often it's the delivery which causes the audience to smile, so speak slowly and remember that a raised eyebrow or an unbelieving look may help to show that you are making a light-hearted remark.Look for the humor. It often comes from the unexpected. A twist on a familiar quote "If at first you don't succeed, give up" or a play on words or on a situation. Look at your talk and pick out a few words or sentences which you can turn about and inject with humor. 31:To make your humor work, you are supposed to ________.A. make fun of the disorganized people.B. address different problems to different people.C. show sympathy for your listeners.D. take advantage of different kinds of audience32: The joke about the doctors implies that, in the eyes of nurses, they are ________. A. very clear about their godlike roleB. very busy even during lunch hours.C. impolite to new arrivalsD. not fond of having lunch with the nurses33:What ’s the possible meaning of the underlined word in paragraph3? ________.A. intentionalB. urgentC. unpreparedD. excellent 34:To achieve the desired result, humorous stories should be delivered ________.A. as casually as possibleB. as awkwardly as possibleC. in well-worded languageD. as quickly as possible35: The best title for the text may be ________.A. Different Humor methodsB. Various kinds of humorC. Add humor to speechD. Use humor effectively第二节第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两处为多余选项。

And many of them are often told; if you exercise, you will lose weight; ------ which is one of the most widely accepted ideas in our culture. As a doctor, I exercise all the time, but I still have got fat that hangs over my belt when I sit. Why isn’t all the exercise getting rid of it?It’s another question many of jus may ask. More than 35 million Americans now belong to a health club, up from 23 million in 1993. We spend some $ 19 billion a year on gym memberships. Of course, some people join and never go. Still, as one major study ---the Minnesota Heart Survey --- found, more of us at least say we exercise regularly.And yet obesity figures have risen sharply in the same period: a third of Americans are obese, and another third count as overweight by the Federal Government’s definition. Yes, it’s entirely possible that those of us who regularly go to the gym would weigh even, so I often eat more on the days I work out than on the days I don’t. Gould exercise actually be keeping me from losing weight?The popular belief that exercise is essential for weight control is actually fairly new. As recently as the 1960s, doctors routinely advised against too much exercise, particularly for older adults who could injure themselves. Today doctors encourage even their oldest patients to exercise, which is sound advice for many reasons; People who regularly exercise are at significantly lower risk for all manner of diseases – those of the heart in particular. They less often develop cancer and many other illnesses. But the past few years of obesity research show that the role of exercise in weight loss has been wildly over- evaluated.exercise researcher at Louisiana State University.

And you’ll realize that it wouldn’t have happened if not for that previous disappointment.”Mother was right, as I discovered after graduating from college in 1972. I had decided to try for a job in radio, then work my way up to sports announcer. I went to Chicago and knocked on the door of every station –and not turned down every time.In one studio, a kind lady told me that big stations couldn’t risk hiring an inexperienced person. “Find a small station that’ll give you a chance,” she said. I went home to Dixon, Illinos. White there was no radio – announcing jobs in Dixon, my father said Montgomery Ward had opened a store and wanted a local athlete to manage its sports department. Since Dixon was where I had played high school football and the job sounded just right for me, I applied. But I wasn’t hired.My disappointment must have shown. “Everything happens for the best,” Mom reminded me. Dad offered me the car to job hunt, I tried WOC Radio in Davenport Iowa. The program director, a wonderful Scotsman named Peter MacArthur, told me they had already hired an announcer. As I left his office, my frustration boiled over. I asked aloud, “How can a fellow get to be a sports announcer if he can’t get a job in a radio station?” I was writing for the elevator when I heard MacArthur calling , “What was that you said about sports? Do you know anything about football?” Then be stood me before a microphone and asked me to broadcast an imaginary game.On my way home, as I have many times since, I thought of my mother’s words: “If you carry on, one day something good will happen. Something wouldn’t have happened if not that previous disappointment.”I often wonder what direction my life might have taken if I’d gotten the job at Montgomery Ward.16. What can we learn from the story?_______A. If we carry on, one day something good will happenB. With the help from parents, we will succeed someday in the future.C. The more experienced you are, the more popular you are.D. The older, the wiser17. What happened in Chicago? _______A. I could not graduate from college.B. I became a sportsmanC. I found a job and became a sports announcerD. I was refused many times18. Why did I apply the job in Dixon?A. Because I liked the jobB. Because I had played high school basketball thereC. Because the job was very suitable for me.D. Because my parents asked me to apply it.20. Which statement is correct? ______A. My parents didn’t care about me at all.B. A kind lady offered me a job in a studioC. I didn’t get the job at Montgomery Ward.D. Peter MacArthur didn’t offer me the job.第三部分: 完形填空（每题1分，共20分）The story happened about two months ago. 21 stood at the doorstep of my house in Cambridge. No way could I have sent her away.

Daydreaming has always had a bad reputation,but now scientific research has showed that daydreaming may actually improve your mental health and creativity. It can even help you achieve your desired goals.Now some people are taking a fresh look at daydreaming. Some think it may be a very healthy thing to do. Researchers are finding daydreaming, they tell us, is a good means of relaxation. But its benefits go beyond this. A number of psychologists have conducted experiments and have reached some surprising conclusions.Dr. Joan T. Freyberg has concluded that daydreaming contributes to intellectual growth. It also improves concentration, attention span, and the ability to get along with others, she says. In an experiment with school children, the same researcher found that daydreaming led the children to pay more attention to details. They had more happy feelings. They worked together better. Another researcher reported that daydreaming seemed to produce improved self-control and creative abilities.But that's only part of the story. The most remarkable thing about daydreaming may be its usefulness in shaping our future lives as we want them to be. Industrialist Henry J. Kaiser believed that much of his success was due to the positive use of daydreaming. He maintained that “you can imagine your future.”Florence Nightingale dreamed of becoming a nurse. The young Thomas Edison pictured himself as an inventor. For these famous achievers, it appears that their daydreams came true.Of course daydreaming is no substitute for hard work. You have to work hard to develop skills. Daydreaming alone can't turn you into your heart's desire. But in, combination with the more usual methods of self-development, it might make a critical difference. And who knows: You might see your own daydreams come true.16.According to some researchers, a few minutes’ daydreaming can help us _______.A.escape from real life and dutiesB.gain a positive attitudes towards examsC.relieve stress effectivelyD.improve grades in exams17.Dr. Freyberg believes that daydreaming can _______A.help rapid and continuous physical growthB.improve self-control and creative abilitiesC.benefit improvement of concentrationD.reduce failure in examinations18.What does ‘the story’ in Paragraph 4 refer to?A.the attentionB. the conclusionC. the contributionD. the motivation19.Nightingale and Edison are examples to explain that daydreaming may be useful because it probably can _______.A.earn a good reputationB. take the place of hard workB.picture future profession D. turn our desire into daydreaming20.From the passage, we know that _________A.daydreaming is a waste of time for us.B.we can’t succeed without daydreamingC.daydreaming is playing a significant roleD.we can realize our dreams with daydreaming第三部分：完形填空（每题1分，共20分）Miss May was watching TV when the program suddenly stopped. “Sorry to 21 the program.

And every time I tell this story, some people agree with this remark.But I can’t see how I could give good reason for worsening my mistake in (45) g by undermining (损害) the honesty of all my grades by failing to avoid an error.

Reading Comprehension (20×1)AAnybody running a company knows that a well-planned meeting can greatly help improve the performance of that business. The main reason for this is that it takes our employees away from the daily workplace and offers them somewhere fresh for a short time. However, unless the meeting is well thought out it will not have the best results and you will have wasted a great deal of money.The first step is to find the right place. Can your employees easily reach the center of the meeting place? Is it near a railway station? Is it close to a good fast road? Has it plenty of suitable parking space? If you are going to choose a hotel, then perhaps the hotel has cheaper rates at weekends or, if it is a popular tourist area, midweek rates may be cheaper.Another important requirement is food and drink. Breakfast is a time when people can relaxbefore the day‟s work begins, but you may not want a long break for lunch in the middle of the day. Buffet lunches are very popular for this reason. Then there is dinner, which most employees consider a reward for a day‟s hard work!Whatever your needs are, it is essential to think ahead if you want a successful meeting.71. In this text the writer is trying to____.A. complain about as a bad conference centerB. persuade employers to choose a conference hotelC. advise employees where to stay for a conferenceD. describe what makes a good conference center72. Why do we read the text?A. to learn some details about conference centers.B. to find out about running a business.C. to learn how to reward good employees.D. to find out about organizing conferences.73. What is very important when choosing a conference centre?A. cheap food and drink.B. good transport connections.C. free car parkingD. popular tour areas.74. Why does the writer think a buffet lunch is a good idea?A. it‟s exciting.B. it‟s cheap.C. it‟s quick.D. it‟s tasty.BYears ago while lying in my hammock(吊床)and drinking ID from the bottle, I noticed my dog dragging something under the fence. Upon looking at it carefully, to my disappointment, I realized it was the next-door neighbor‟s 10-year-old daughter‟s rabbit. For years I had watched her come home from school and held straight out to its cage, free it and play with it in the yard. I knew today would be no difference and fearing for our dog, I had to think fast.The rabbit was quite dirty, as if it had put up quite a struggle, so I washed it off with the plastic pipe, combed it with the dog brush and blew it dry with the leaf blower. Upon finishing its grooming, I jumped the fence and replaced it back in its cage hoping its death would be written off as “natural causes”.Back to the hammock and ID. Within the hour the neighbor‟s Benz pulled in as usual and out popped the little girl, and as usual she headed straight for the cage. Only this time did she stop about six feet away screamed, “Daddy!”Her father, panic stricken, stood looking at the cage. Being the good neighbor I rushed ot the fence and asked if there was anything I could do.Her father less than calmly shouted, “what kind of sick person would dig up a little girl‟s dead rabbit and put it back to its cage?”75. What the writer did to the rabbit was just to show that ___.A. he loved the little girl.B. he loved the rabbit as wellC. he had nothing to do with the rabbit‟s death D the rabbit died naturally76. The little girl was shocked____.A. when she saw her rabbit was in the cageB. at the death of the rabbitC. because of such a clean rabbitD. that the rabbit was in the cage, dead77. Which of the following is NOT true according to the story?A. The girl came home in a car.B. The father appeared very calm.C. The dead rabbit was cleaned.D.

We can infer from the story thatA. the rabbit had had a struggle with the dog before it diedB. the father and daughter were unhappy to see their rabbit againC. the writer made a mistake about the death of the rabbitD. the father loved his daughter very muchCThe American National Football Team says it aims to compete for the championship o the 2010 world cup. Now a juvenile footballers training project, which costs 50 million US dollars and is provided by the Nike Company, has already gone into operation.As the first item project, 34 American boys under the age of 14 have already reached Mexico recently to begin their team training. Before that, the boys had received one week selection training in a San Diego camp. All these boys were selected from the four American regional training caps under the Olympic Development Program.Not long after the boys began training in Mexico did they enter competitions with the Mexican Teenager Football Team beat the Mexican Team two to one. After the matches, Carter, director of the Juvenile Development Project of the American Football Association, said that he hopes the scope of team training will be expanded to include 95—126 boys under the age of 14. Training of juvenile football players in the 15-to-16 age group will also be launched, Carter said.79. The first item of the training project includes______.a. training many boys under the age of 14b. selecting 34 excellent boy playersc. training in Mexico and organizing some matches thered. organizing 15-to-16 age groups A. a, b, c B. a, b, d C. b, c D. d, c80. According to the passage, the director named Carter has the wish to ____.A. encourage the 15-to-16-year-old boysB. increase the number of boy players under the age of 14C. get more rewards in the futureD. organize a few more football clubs.81. After reading the passage we may conclude thatA. the Mexicans like various kinds of sportsB. the American national football team lacks moneyC. the Americans take the 2010 world cup seriouslyD. the American football association doesn‟t value the action82. Which can be the best title for the passage?A. try to win the 2010 world cupB. improve the young footballers‟ skillsC. great project-training young childrenD. American boys trained for football championsDThe fire again made all the world shocked. A great fire broke out on April 15, in the town of Mina, only five kilometers from the holiest city of Mecca, when two million people gathered here for the annual pilgrimage.It was all started by a gas container when someone was cooking in a camp. The strong wind blew the fire to thousands of camps in just a moment. Many were injured when escaping from the burning camps, for they could not find their way in the heavy smoke and flames, and some ran the wrong way. The fire lasted for more than five hours before it was put out. Although the fireman arrived shortly after the fire alarm and they were backed by the helicopters, when the fire was at last put out, it was at the cost of 340 lives and 1537 were injured, some of them very seriously.About 70000 new camps were put up to help those who lost everything in the fire. An Indian official said more than half of the dead were Indians; the others were from the neighboring Asian countries.The fire was the latest in a long line of tragedies around here. In 1994, people were so crowded, that 270 people were found dead and in 1990, an accident left nearly 1500 dead.83. The whole world were shocked because____.A. the fire was a very serious oneB. they couldn‟t believe it was trueC. it happened in the holiest cityD. fire broke out there again and again84. The fire lasted very long because_____.A. there were a lot of gas containers in the campB. there was a strong windC. there were too many peopleD. people ran away to other camps and carried the fire around.85. From the accidents mentioned in the passage, we may conclude that____.A. people were not careful enoughB. the pilgrims there were not organized well enoughC. the firemen there were not able to do their work wellD. it was not easy to prevent accidents from happening86. When the fire broke out, many people got burnt or even lost their lives because____.A. they couldn‟t wake up in timeB. they didn‟t know how to run awayC. they didn‟t know which way to head forD. they couldn‟t run fast enoughESuppose we built a robot to explore the planet Mars. We provide the robot with seeing detectors to keep it away from danger. It is powered entirely by the sun. Should we program the robot to be equally active at all times? No. The robot would be using up energy at a time when it was not receiving any. So we would probably program it to stop its activity at night and to wake up at dawn the next morning.According to the evolutionary theory of sleep, evolution equipped us with a regular pattern of sleeping and waking for the same reason. The theory does not deny that sleep provides some important restorative functions. It tells us that evolution has programmed us to perform those functions at a time when activity would be inefficient and possibly dangerous. However, sleep protects us only from the sort of trouble we might walk into; it does not protect us from trouble that comes looking for us. So we sleep well when we are in a familiar, safe place, but we sleep lightly, if at all, when we fear that bears will nose into the tent.The evolutionary theory explains the differences in sleep among creatures. Why do cats, for example, sleep so much, while horses sleep so little? Surely cats do not need five times as much repair and restoration as horses do. But cats can afford to have long periods of inactivity because they spend little time eating and are unlikely to be attacked while they sleep. Horses must spend almost all their waking hours eating, because what they eat is low in energy value. Moreover, they cannot afford to sleep too long or too deeply, because their survival depends on their ability to run away from attackers.87. The writer uses the example of the robot in space exploration to tell ____.A. the differences between man and robotsB. the reason why man needs to sleepC. about the need for robots to save energyD. about the danger of men working at night88.

Most are brown, but some are black, orange, grey or even green.Even though many people do not like bats, bats don’t usually hurt people.

Children withPassage CDear Sir/ Madam,When I was seated on the top deck of a bus recently, I was shocked by the behaviour of some students from Westlake College. They were eating hamburgers and drinking cola. When they reached their stop, they got off, leaving the empty cartons and cups on the bus. I was forced to speak to one of them about this as he went past me, but he just laughed. “It’s not my job to clean the bus,” he said. “Why should I do it?”Is this the attitude of young people today? Don’t they care about their environment? Are they content to let other people clean up after them all the time？Shanghai would look disgusting if everybody behaved as these students did. Moreover, as a 66-year-old grandfather, I was not happyabout being laughed at by a schoolchild. The youth of today have no respect to their elders.Yours faithfully,Charles Wang根据文章内容，选择下列五个问题的正确答案，并将代表该答案的字母填在题目前的括号内。
