On August 26, 1999, New York City was struck by a terrible rainstorm. The rain caused the streets to and the subway system almost came to a stop.Unfortunately, this happened during the morning rush hour. Many people who were going to work were to go home. Some battled to a taxi or to get ona bus. Still others faced the bravely, walking miles to get to work.I to be one of the people on the way to work that morning. I went from subwayline to subway line only to find that most had stopped. After making my way crowds of people, I finally found a subway line that was . Unfortunately, there were so many people waiting to the subway that I could not even get down the stairsto the . So I took the train going in the opposite direction, and then switchback to the downtown train. Finally, after what seemed like forever, the train my stop. Then I had to walk several blocks in the increasingly heavy rain. When I finally got to my office, I was through, exhausted and .My co-workers and I spent most of the day drying off. When it was 5:00 pm, Iwas ready to go home. I was about to turn off my computer I received an emailfrom Garth, my Director:I would like to thank all of you who made the effort and reported to work.It is always reassuring (令人欣慰), at times like these, when employees so clearly show their to their jobs. Thank you.Garth’s email was short, but I learned more from that message than I everdid from a textbook. The email taught me that a few words of can make a big difference.

It really is that simple. Eurostat figures show that 66 per cent of mothers in the UK work, less than France (72 per cent), Denmark (86 per cent), the Netherlands (78 per cent) or Germany (69 per cent). This not only damages Britain’s economic prosperity—it limits women’s careers and squeezes family incomes. It would be fine if this is the choice parents want to make, but it isn’t. Half of those surveyed want to go to work and the expense of childcare is one of the key reasons they c ouldn’t.Despite claims made by Labour (工党) about childcare, a forthcoming (即将到来的) report by the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR) confirms the true legacy of their time in government. They left behind a childcare system with high costs to parents, variable quality and patchy (不均匀的) coverage, despite soaring government spending. British parents now face the highest childcare bills in the world after Switzerland.In the Eighties and Nineties under Mrs Thatcher and John Major, the picture was very different. Mothers in England were more likely to go out to work than their Dutch or German counterparts. But the position has reversed, despite a huge rise in public spending.So why does the British Government spend more on childcare than France or Germany, even though the costs given to parents are sky-high? As always, under the previous government, money was frittered away (浪费) without adequate focus on improving quality. Instead of clear and transparent funding, four separate funding streams were created, skewing (偏离) the market and confusing parents and providers alike. The majority of the money was given away in cash benefits; so much of it did not get through to the front line.The IPPR report points out that continental systems, in countries such as Germany, France, Denmark and the Netherlands, manage to deliver better value for money. What all of these systems have in common is a focus on quality, with greater flexibility and autonomy given to local providers. They also see a much higher proportion of government money getting to the front line.21.Which of the following doesn’t belong to the disadvantages caused by the mothers prevented from going to work?A. Damaging Britain’s economic development.B. Causing damage to women’s car eers.C. Decreasing the family incomes.D. Causing childcare costs to go up.22.According to the second paragraph, we can infer that the former government of the Labour Party _______.A. was highly praised by British peopleB. made British people face the highest childcare billsC. left behind a childcare system full of problemsD. managed to decrease the government spending23.We can learn from the passage that _______.A. in the Eighties and Nineties, mothers in the UK were likely to workB. there is a prejudice against mothers in the UK employment marketC. most of the mothers surveyed in the UK don’t want to workD. the percentage of mothers who work in the UK is the lowest in the worldI was waiting for a phone call from my agent. He had left a message the night before, telling me that my show was to be cancelled. I called him several times, but each time his secretary told me that he was in a meeting and that he would call me later. So I waited, but there was still no call. Three hours passing by, I became more and more impatient. I was certain that my agent didn’t care about my work, and he didn’t care about me. I was overcome with that thought. I started to shout at the phone, “Let me wait, will you? Who do you think you are?”At that time I didn’t re alize my wife was looking on. Without showing her surprise, she rushed in, seized the phone, tore off the wires, and shouted at the phone, “Yeah! Who do you think you are? Bad telephone! Bad telephone!” And she swept it into the wastebasket.I stood watchi ng her, speechless. What on earth…?She stepped to the doorway and shouted at the rest of the house, “Now hear this! All objects in this room –if you do anything to upset my husband, out you go!” Then she turned to me, kissed me and said calmly, “Honey, y ou just have to learn how to take control.” With that, she left the room.After watching a crazy woman rushing in and out, shouting at everything in sight, I noticed that something in my mood(情绪) had changed. I was laughing. How would I have trouble with that phone? Her antics helped me realize I had been driven crazy by small things. Twenty minutes later my agent did call. I was able to listen to him and talk to him calmly.24.Why did the author shout at the telephone?A. He was mad at the telephone.B. He was angry with his agent.C. He was anxious about his wifeD. He was impatient with the secretary.25.What did the author’s wife do after she heard his shouting?A. She said nothingB. She shouted at him.C. She called the agentD. She threw the phone away26.What made the author laugh?A. His own behavior.B. His wife’s suggestionC. His changeable feelingsD. His wife’s sweet kiss.27.What does the underlined word “antics” refer to?A. Smart wordsB. Unusual actionsC. Surprising LooksD. Anxious feelingsTalking plants might sound like characters in a fairy tale. But recent scientific studies have shown that plants communicate with each other and with other living things in a surprising number of ways. To understand them, scientists say, we just have to learn their language. Farmers are especially interested in what plants have to say.“Plants are able to communicate with all sorts of organisms (有机体). They can communicate with giant bacteria, with other plants and with insects. They do this chemically,” said Cahill, an Ecology Professor of the University of Alberta in Canada.Plant scientists are just beginning to understand this chemical “language”. Cahill says studies have shown, for example, that plants can evaluate (评估) conditions in their immediate environment and take appropriate actions. Plants have an ability, for example, to signal pain or discomfort caused by anything from temperature extremes to an insect attack. Jack Schultz, a professor of chemical ecology at the University of Missouri, says when a plant senses that it's being eaten, it cannot walk away from trouble; on the contrary, it will release a chemical vapor(蒸汽) that alerts other plants nearby.“Their language is a chemical language, and it involves chemicals that move through the air that are easy to be changeable, and most of all are smells that we are familiar with,” Schultz explained.“All plants responded to the attack by changing their chemistry to defend themselves,” Schultz recalled. “But we were quite surprised to find that nearby plants also changed their chemistry to defend themselves, even though they were not part of the experiment.”Studies have also shown that plants under attack release pleasant chemicals. Those chemicals attract friendly insects that attack the pests eating the plant.In the end, plants' ability to communicate their needs—and our ability to understand them—could help farmers reduce the use of poisonous chemicals, cut operating costs and limit damage to the environment.28.The recent scientific studies have shown that plants can ______.A.communicate with other living things in a chemical wayB.hardly react to any sudden change in temperatureC.use a very special chemica1 language which is familiar to usD.respond to the attack by giving off poisonous chemicals29.When being eaten by an insect, the plant will ________.A.walk away from troubleB.change its chemistry to kill the insectC.release a chemical vapor to “ask” other plants for helpD.give off nice chemicals to attract friendly insects killing the pest30.The underlined word “alert” most probably means “______”.A.warn B.protectC.threaten D.allow31.Which would be the best title for the passage?A.Communication between PlantsB.A Chemical “Language”C.Plants Can TalkD.How Plants Protect Themselves阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A 、B 、C 和 D )中,选出最佳选项,并在题卡上将该项涂黑。

It was my job to make peace with the Maori Tamaki tribe, whose village we visited. Their soldiers jumped from a canoe and faced us down with fierce crying, sticking eyes and much noise of sticks. They laid a palm leaf on the ground and, as head, I was forced to accept this peace offering by picking it up, then touching noses with their chief. "Kia ora," he said, welcoming us into the woodland home of his people.My "tribe" was my New Zealand coach tour group, who had forced me into being their leader. We’d been warned that the ceremony was a serious occasion and that to laugh or even smile would be considered rude to the Tamaki. After that it was non-stop fun as they demonstrated their ancient customs and I received instruction in performing the haka, the war dance immortalized(使不朽) by the All Blacks rugby team.Then they pulled our dinner of lamb, beef and vegetables out of the ground. It had been slow-cooked in the heat just below the surface in the geothermal(地热的) area of North Island, a Maori tradition known as a hangi that goes back an extremely long period of time.Obviously, this form of it is put on for tourists but it was hugely enjoyable. The journey back to the hotel was alone worth the effort, our elder Maori driver being deserving of his own television show. "The wheels on the bus go round and round," he got us singing, while he circuited a roundabout three times.A couple of days from the end of our trip, there was still something missing, a New Zealand icon I wanted to see to make my grand tour complete. Riding over a ridge, there it was — Aotearoa. The Maori name for New Zealand translates as "the land of the long white cloud". Can I say "Kia ora, Aotearoa?" You bet I can.4. How were the visitors greeted in the tribe?A. The soldiers made a palm leaf road.B. The soldiers touched their noses.C. The soldiers shook sticks fiercely.D. The soldiers made noise with shut eyes.5. Which refers to the Maori cooking custom?A. Kia ora.B. Haka.C. Hangi.D. Tamaki.6. What does the author think of the driver?A. He was good at singing.B. He made the journey memorable.C. He was not familiar with the road.D. He performed well on a TV show.7. What is the best title for the text?A. A taste of Maori cultureB. Hello, New ZealandC. The honour of being a tribe chiefD. The best of New ZealandCMotorists who used to listen to the radio or their favorite tunes on CDs may have a new way to entertain themselves, after engineers in Japan developed a musical road surface.A team from the Hokkaido Industrial Research Institute has built a number of “melody roads”, which use cars as tuning forks to play music as they travel.The concept works by using grooves(凹槽). They are cut at very specific intervals in the road surface. The melody road uses the spaces between to create different notes.Depending on how far apart the grooves are, a car moving over them will produce a series of high or low notes, and designers are able to create a distinct tune.Paten documents for the design describe it as notches “formed in a road surface so as to play a melody without producing simple sound or rhythm and reproduce melody-like tones.”There are three musical strips in central and northern Japan—one of which plays the tune of a Japanese pop song. Reports say the system was invented by Shizuo Shinoda. He scraped some markings into a road with a bulldozer before driving over them and found that they helped to produce all kinds of tones.The optimal speed for melody road is 44kph, but people say it is not always easy to get the intended sound.“You need to keep the car windows closed to hear well,” wrote one Japanese blogger. “Driving too fast will sound like playing fast forward, while driving around 12mph [20km/h] has a slow-motion effect, making you almost car-sick.”8. We can learn from the passage that the highness of notes is depended on _____.A. how far the grooves areB. how big the grooves areC. the number of the groovesD. the speed of the car9. The underlined word “optimal”in the passage might mean ________.A. fastestB. possibleC. bestD. slowest10. In order to hear the music well, you have to ______.A. drive very fastB. drive slowlyC. open the windows wideD. keep the windows closed11. What’s the best title of the passage?A.A New Type of MusicB. Melody Roads in JapanC.A Musical Road SurfaceD.A New Invention in JapanDThere is a popular saying in the English language: "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me." Well, that is not true. Unkind words, name-calling or even the so-called "the silent treatment" can hurt children as much as being physically hit, sometimes even more so.A recent study of middle school children showed that verbal(言语的) abuse by other children can harm development in the brain. The study was a project of researchers at Harvard Medical School in Massachusetts. Researcher Martin Teicher and his team studied young adults, aged 18 to 25. These young men and women had not ever been treated in a cruel or violent way by their parents. The researchers asked the young people to rate their childhood exposure to verbal abuse from both parents and other children. Then the researchers performed imaging tests on the brains of the subjects.The images showed that the people who reported suffering verbal abuse from peers in middle school had underdeveloped connections between the left and right side of the brain. The two sides of the brain are connected by a large bundle of connecting fibers called the corpus callosum. This was the area that was underdeveloped.The middle school years are a time when these brain connections are developing. So, unkind, hurtful comments from children or adults during this period have the greatest effect. The researchers tested the mental and emotional condition of all the young people in the study. The tests showed that this same group of people had higher levels of fear, depression, anger and drug abuse than others in the study.The researchers published their findings online on the American Journal of Psychiatry’s website.Parents cannot control what other people say to their children, but they can prepare their children.12. Why does the author use the popular saying at the beginning?A. To show the power of words.B. To introduce an opposite view.C. To prove the author’s argument.D. To show ancient people’s wisdom.13. What did the subjects have in common?A. They were hurt by unkind words.B. They performed poorly in imaging tests.C. They had their brain slightly damaged.D. They experienced no physical abuse at home.14. What will be discussed in the next paragraph?A. Comments on the findings.B. Approaches to further studies.C. Suggestions to parents.D. Different opinions on the matter.15. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The way we speak matters.B. Verbal violence should be stopped.C. Unkind words hurt the brain.D. Words are worse than sticks and stones.第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10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。

AWhen to go:The Magic Kingdom,which was opened in 1971,was the first theme park at Walt Disney World. All Disney Wor ld theme parks are open 365 days a year,although opening and closing time for each park changes fro m day to day.If you plan to make a trip to the Magic Kingdom without kids,try to visit on a school day to avoid the largest crowds. If you need to visit during a school vacation,try at least to avoid the week between Christmas and New Ye ar and the Fourth of July.If you are not staying at a Disney World hotel,avoid visiting the Magic Kingdom on its Extra Magic Hours da ys,as Disney’s hotel guests get into the park early on those days ,and visitors who arrive at the Magic Kingdom’s normal openin g time have to wait for a long time.Before you go:Buy your Walt Disney World tickets online at Disney World’s website. For advice on picking the right ticket,see our guide to Disney World tickets.You will also need to call in advance to make lunch and/or din ner reservations(预定). Disney accepts reservations up to 180 days in advance,but you need contact 1-407-WDW-DINE.When you get there:Plan to arrive at the Magic Kingdom’s front gate before the pa rk opens in the morning. Keep in mind that to reach the Magic Kingdom,you must park at Disney World’s Transportation and Ticket C enter parking lot,ride at tram to the TTC,then take a ferry boat across the Seven Seas Lagoon to the Magic Kingdom. It makes for a fantastic approach,but takes extra time. Give yourself an extra hour in the summ er and half an hour during the school year.1.For an adult,the best time to visit the Magic Kingdom is ________.A.on the weekendB.on a school dayC.during a school holidayD.around Christmas2.Through 1-407-WDW-DINE,you can ________.

A.introduce the history of the Magic Kingdom B.introduce the attractions in the Magic KingdomC.give advice on making a trip to the Magic Kingdom D.attract more visitors to the Magic KingdomBIn the USA, many high schools and some colleges and univer sities have a special celebration(庆典) once a year called Homecoming. Former students and tea chers come back to the school to enjoy the memories of their time there and the many Homecoming activities. Homecomin g might last for only one day or for several days, even one we ek.High schools usually choose one boy and one girl from the senior class to be the “Homecoming King” and “Homecoming Queen”. The students usually choose a boy and a girl who ha ve done a lot for the school.Most schools have a Homecoming parade(游行). The school band will often lead the way, followed by man y different cars and trucks. Most schools also have a football game for Homecoming—and, of course, tailgate parties. A tailgate party is a group of p eople drinking and eating around the back, or tailgate, of som eone’s pick-up truck.There are many other activities that might be a part of the Homecoming celebration. There might be a school-wide picnic one day; another day, there may be plays, concert s, competitions or games, all depending on a school’s traditions.Homecoming celebrations nearly always end with a dance and/or a great dinner. The school is decorated beautifully, and a band is paid to come and play. Students dress up: guys in suits and girls in beautiful dresses.4. Homecoming in the USA _____.A. is held only in high schoolsB. might last from one d ay to one weekC. might be prepared for students onlyD. is held to celebrate the birth of schools5. “King and Queen of Homecoming” are chosen according to _____.A. their excellent grades in studyB. their healthy bodie sC.their contributions (贡献) to the schoolD. their good-looking faces6.All the activities might be found at the Homecoming except _____.A.an examB. a football gameC. a picnicD. a parade7.

The people who use it are young and old, short and tall , thin and fat. It is everybody's second language. It is easy to understand, although you can't hear it. It is sign language.When you wave to a friend who is across the street, you ar e using sign language. When you smile at someone, you are saying, "I want to be friendly", but you are not using speech. Y ou are using sign language. When you raise your hand in clas s, you are saying, "Please ask me. I think I know the correct a nswer."Babies who can't talk can point at things. They are using s ign language. A policeman who wants to stop traffic holds up his hands. He is using sign language.Many years ago, a French priest(牧师), Charles Michel de Epee, became interested in educatio n for deaf people. He invented a finger alphabet (字母表). It is still in use. People can make the sign for letters and s pell words with their hands, and deaf people can read and un derstand them. Soon there were schools for the deaf in many countries. The only university for the deaf is Gallaudet Colleg e in Washington, D.C.Today, in the United States, there are special TV news pro grams for deaf people. The newsreader tells the news in signlanguage. At the same time, the words appear on the TV scre en.The actors in the Theatre of Deaf don't spell every word. S ometimes they use hand signs. When they put two hands tog ether, it means sandwich. They can make a roof with their ha nds when they want to show a house. One finger in front of an actor's mouth can mean quiet. You can talk to people who ar e behind windows that are closed. And when you go swimmin g with your friends, you can haveconversations under water.How many hand signs do you use every day?8.

Even babies are using sign language.D. The French priest Charles invented sign language.11. The passage is mainly about ______.A. how to use sign languageB. the importance of sign languageC. a famous priest in FranceD.an introduction to sign languageDMr.Bean is an internationally recognized comedy character on TV and in films.He constantly gets into awkward and absurd situations,which greatly amuses audiences regardless of their nationaliti es or culture.The humour is always made clear through a seri es of simple and funny acts that rely purely on body language ,which is universal.One of my favourite shows is that Mr.Bean has a meal in a fa ncy restaurant.After being seated at his table,Mr.Bean takes out a card,writes a few words on it,seals(密封) it in an envelope and places it on the table.After a moment ,he looks back at the envelope but this time he looks surprised ,as if he did not know it was there.He opens it to find a birthda y card and delightedly puts it on the table for everyone to see. When he looks at the menu,an astonished look swiftly appears on his face.He takes all th e money out of his wallet,counts it and puts it in a saucer(茶托).He then looks from the menu to the money with concern until he finds one thing that makes him smile.Then he orders a dish called “steak tartare”.When the dish arrives,he is shocked to discover that “steak tartare” is actually raw h amburger.He makes an attempt to eat it,but it is clear from the look on his face that he finds the taste t ruly disgusting.He cannot hide his feelings,except when the waiter asks if everything is all right.When this happens,he smiles and nods,indicating that everything is fine.When the waiter is not lookin g,however,he busies himself hiding the raw meat anywhere he can reach —the sugar bowl,the tiny flower vase,inside a bun(小圆面包) and under a plate.He becomes so desperate in the end th at he even hides some inside the purse of a woman sitting ne ar him and throws some down the trousers of the restaurant’s violinist!I like to watch Mr.Bean on TV,but I wouldn’t like to meet someone like him in real life and I c ertainly wouldn’t like to have dinner with him!12.From the passage we know Mr.Bean is ________. A.famous for directing filmsB.famous for his spoken EnglishC.well known for making filmsD.known for his body language and amusement in his come dies13.Why is Mr.Bean famous all over the world?A.He often eats in special restaurants.B.He entertains the audience from different countries.

AMany people influenced various aspects of my life, based on their personal characteristics, accomplishments, and values. I have been fortunate to have had numerous teachers and professors who I respect for their patience and intelligence. There are artists that have inspired me by their natural talents and original creativity. I value many political leaders, who have inspired me by their contributions to society, and their ability to change our futures. But of all the people I have known in my life, the person I admire most is my father.As the youngest girl in my family, I always considered myself to be “Daddy’s little girl”. While I grew up, it always made me sad to see so many of my friends and neighbors without a father orfather-like figure around. This helped me appreciate how my father always takes an interest in his children’s lives. In every aspect of my life my father continuously pushes me to excel, so I could accomplish my work outstandingly among my people. Whenever I feel like giving up, or have a question or a concern, I know I can always call on him for advice. From him I have also learned that sometimes you have to put others’ needs ahead of your own, but you should make sure you are not taken advantage of by others. His strength seems to be unbreakable during hard times, and he is extremely determined to accomplish anything he sets his mind on, no matter how tiny it is. I highly respect him for how he stands up for what he believes in, and will never back down. I have always admired his open mind, compassion for people, and sense of understanding. He is a very reserved man, but to everybody’s surprise, he has a great sense of humor, and always knows how to put a smile on the faces of his wife, his children and his friends.Living in his affection and instruction, I am very proud of my father. He also professes how proud he is of his children, and is still there to support us in whatever we are involved in.21.What is the best title for the passage?A. How my father loved meB.

Choices can be hard.” –– Jeff Bezos.I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2,300 percent per year. I’d never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old, and I’d been married for a year. I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldn’t work since most start-ups don’t, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. MacKenzie told me I should go for it. As a young boy, I’d been a garage inventor. I’d always wanted to be an inventor, and she want ed me to follow my passion.I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people, and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park, listened carefully to me, and finally said, “That sounds like a really good idea, but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn’t already have a good job.” That logic made some sense to me, and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision. Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice, but ultimately, I decided I had to give it a shot. I didn’t think I’d regret trying and failing. And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all.After much consideration, I took the less safe path to follow my passion, and I’m proud of that choice. For all of us, in the end, we are our choices.33.What inspired the author with the idea of building an online bookstore?A. The greatly increasing usage of the Internet.B. The support of his wife.C.
