CDirections: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks with the exact words you have just heard. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written. You probably have noticed that people express similar ideas in different ways 26 the situation they are in. This is very natural. All languages have two general levels of usage: a formal level and an informal level. English is no 27 . The difference in these two levels is the situation in which you use a 28 level. Formal language is the kind of language you find in text books,. 29 books and in business letters. You would also use formal English in 30 and essays that you write in school. Informal language is used in conversation with 31 , family members and friends, and when we write personal notes or letters to close friends. Formal language is different from informal language in several ways. First, formal language 32 be more polite. What we may find interesting is that it usually takes more words to be polite. For example, I might say to a friend or a family member, "Close the door, please," but to a 33 , I probably would say "Would you mind closing the door?" Another difference between formal and informal language is some of the 34 . There are bound to be some words and phrases that belong in formal language and others that are informal. Let Let’’s say that I really like soccer. If I am talking to my friend, I might say "I am just 35 soccer!" But if I were talking to my boss, I would probably say "I really enjoy soccer. " Part Ⅲ Reading

This saves them considerable time and money—especially if a candidate lives out of town.Don’t take these interviews lightly. It is important to prepare for a telephone interview just as you would do foe a regular interview.The employer will normally call or e-mail you in advance to set up an interview time. If possible, arrange for the interview to be held over a landline phone(座机), as it is more reliable than a mobile phone. Make sure that children, pets and other sources of interruption will be out of the room. Keep a glass of water nearby.Phone interviews can often last a half-hour to an hour and be sure to have your resume in front of you. Do your best to be personal, but don’t overdo it by, say, trying to tell a joke.1. Screening interviews over the phone is becoming more common because ________.A) It is simple and fair B) it is easier to prepareC) it seems more friendly D) it saves time and money2. An employer usually arranges the time for the interview by ________.A) paying you a personal visit firstB) calling or e-mailing you in advanceC) announcing the date in the newspaperD) asking you to visit the company’s website3.

What should you do with your resume during a phone interview?A) Keep it in front of you. B) Read it out if required.C) Post it up online. D) Send it by e-mail.5. In the last sentence, by saying “…but don’t overdo it…”, the author means “don’t be too ________”.A) nervous B) proud C) personal D) formalPassage TwoThere are stories about two U．S . presidents，Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren，which attempt to explain the American English term OK．We don’t know if either story is true，but they are both interesting．The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very little education．In fact，he had difficulty reading and writing．When important papers came to Jackson，he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they said．If he approved of a paper．he would write“all correct”on it．The problem was that he didn’t know how to spell．So what he really wrote was“ol korekt”．After a while，he shortened that term to“OK”．The second explanation is based on the place where President Van Buren wasborn，Kinderhook，New York．Van Bnren’s friends organized a club to help him become President They caned the club the Old Kinderhook Club，and anyone who supported Van Buren was called“OK”．6．The authorA. believes both of the stories B．doesn’t believe a word of the storiesC．is not sure whether the stories are true D. is telling the stories just for fun 7. According to the passage，President JacksonA．couldn’t draw up any documents at all B. didn’t like to read important papers by himselfC．often had his assistants sign documents for him D .wasn’t good at reading，writing or spelling8．According to the first story, the term “OK” A. was approved of by President Jackson B．was the title of some Official documentsC．was first used by President Jackson D．was an old way to spell“all correct’’9 .According to the second story，the term‘‘OK”A．was the short way to say‘‘old Kinderhook Club” B．meant the place where President Van Buren was bornC．was the name of Van Buren’s club D．was used to call Van Buren’s supporters in the election10．According to the second story．the term“OK”was first used __A．by Van Buren B．in a presidential electionC．to organize the Old Kinderhook ClubD．by the members of the‘‘Old Kinderhook Club”Passage ThreeAlthough the United States covers so much land and the land produces far more food than the present population needs，its people are by now almost entirely an urban society Less than a tenth of the people are engaged in agriculture and forestry(林业)，and most of the rest live in or around towns，small and large．Here the traditional picture is changing：every small town may still be very like other small towns，and the typical small town may represent a widely accepted view of the country，but most Americans do not live in small towns any more．Half the population now lives in some thirty metropolitan areas(1arge cities with their suburbs、of more than a million people each—a larger proportion than in Germany or England，let alone France．The statistics(统计)of urban and rural population should be treated with caution because so many people who live in areas classified as rural travel by car to work in a nearby town each day．As the rush to live out of town continues．rural areas within reach of towns are gradually filled with houses，so that it is hard to say at what moment a piece of country becomes a suburb But more and more the typical American lives in a metropolitan rather than a small town environment．11．If now America has 250 million people．how many of them are engaged in agriculture and forestry?A．About 25 million．B．More than 25 million．C．Less than 25 million． D. Less than 225 million12．Which of the following four countries has the smallest proportion of people living in metropolitan areas?A．United States．B．Germany．C．France．D．England．13．What’s the meaning of the word“metropolitan”in the middle of the passage?A .Of a large city with its suburbs．B．Of small and large towns．C．Of urban areas．D．Of rural areas．14.

Choose the one that you think is the best answer. Mark your answers on Answer Sheet Two.TEXT AThe art of public speaking began in ancient Greece over 2,000 years ago. Now, twitter, instant messaging, e-mail, blogs and chat forums offer rival approaches to communication - but none can replace the role of a great speech.The spoken word can handle various vital functions: persuading or inspiring, informing, paying tribute, entertaining, or simply i ntroducing someone or something or accepting something. Over the past year, the human voice has helped guide us over the ups and downs of what was certainly a stormy time.Persuasion is used in dealing with or reconciling different points of view. When the leaders met inCopenhagen in December 2009, persuasive words from activists encouraged them to commit themselves to firmer action. Inspirational speeches confront the emotions. They focus on topics and matters that are close to people's hearts. During wars, generals u sed inspiring speeches to preparethe troops for battle.A speech that conveys knowledge and enhances understanding can inform us. The information must be clear, accurate, and expre ssed in a meaningful and interesting way.（流行病）announced, the idea of “swine flu” many people. Informative speeches from World Health Organization officials helped people t o keep their panic under control so they could take sensible precautions.Sad events are never easy to deal with but a speech that pays tribute to the loss of a loved one and gives praise for their contribu tion can be comforting. Madonna's speech about Michael Jackson,after his death, highlighted the fact that he will continue to liv e on through his music.It's not only in world forums where public speaking plays an important role. It can also be surprisingly helpful in the course of o ur own lives.If you‟re taking part in a debate you need to persuade the listeners of the soundness ofyour argument. In sports, athletes know the importance of a pep talk（鼓舞士气的讲话） before a match to inspire teammates. You yourself may be asked to do a presentation at college or work to inform the other s about an area of vital importance.On a more personal level, a friend may be upset and need comforting. Or you might beasked to introduce a speaker at a family event or to speak at a wedding, where your language will be needed to move people or make them laugh.Great speaking ability is not something we're born with. Even Barack Obama works hardto perfect every speech. For a brilliant speech, there are rules that you can put to good use. To learn those rules you have to pract ice and learn from some outstanding speeches in the past.81. The author thinks the spoken word is still irreplaceable because ______.A. it has always been used to inspire or persuade people.B. it has a big role to play in the entertainment business.C. it plays important roles in human communication.D. it is of great use in everyday-life context.82. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT about the role of public speaking? _____A. Speeches at world forums can lead to effective solutions to world problems.B. Speeches from medical authorities can calm people down in times of pandemics.C. The morale of soldiers before a battle can be boosted by senior officers' speeches.D. Speeches paying tribute to the dead can comfort the mourners.83. Public speaking can play all the following roles EXCEPT ______.A. to convince people in a debate.B. to inform people at a presentation.C. to advise people at work.D. to entertain people at a wedding.84. According to the passage, which of the following best explains the author's view on ______ “great speaking ability”?A. It comes from observing rules.B. It can be perfected with easy effort.C. It can be acquired from birth.D. It comes from learning and practice.85. What is the main idea of the passage? ______.A. Public speaking in international forums.B. The many uses of public speaking.C. Public speaking in daily life context.D. The rules of public speaking.TEXT BEvery business needs two things, says Skullcandy CEO Rick Alden: inspiration and desperation. In 2001, Alden had both. He'd sold two snowboarding businesses, and he was desperately bored. But he had an idea: He wanted to make a new kind of headpho ne. “I kept seeing people missing their cell phone calls because they were listening to music,” he explains. Then I'm in a chairli ft, I've got my headphones on, and I realize my phone is ringing. As 1 take my gloves off and reach for my phone, I think, “It can't be that tough to make headphones with two plugs, one for music and one for your cell phone.” Alden described what he wante d to a designer, perfected a prototype, and outsourced（外包）manufacturing overseas.Alden then started designing headphones into helmets, backpacks - anywhere that would make it easy to listen to music while sn owboarding. “Selling into board and skate shops wasn't a big research effort,” he explains. “Those were the only guys I knew!”Alden didn‟t want to be a manufacturer. And by outsourcing, he'd hoped he could get thebusiness off the ground without debt. But he was wrong. So he asked his wife, “Can I put a（抵押贷款） on the house? She said, …What is the worst thing that can happen? Welose the house, we sell our cars, and we start all over again.‟ I definitely married the rightwoman!”For the next two years, Alden juggled mortgage payments and payments to his manufacturers. “Factories won't ship your produc t till they get paid,” he says. “But it takes four or five months to get a mortgage company so upset that they knock on your door. So we paid the factory first.”Gradually, non-snowboarders began to notice the colorful headphones. In 2006, the company started selling them in 1,400 FYE ( For Your Entertainment) stores. “We knew that nine out often people walking into that store would be learning about Skullcandy for the first time. Why would they look at brands they knew and take home a new brand instead? We had agreed to buy back a nything we didn‟t sell, but we were dealing with huge numbers. It‟d kill us to take back all the productsAlden‟s fears faded as Skullcandy became the No. 1 headphone seller in those stores andtripled its revenue to $120 million in one year. His key insight was that headphones weren‟tgadgets; they were a fashion accessory. “In the beginning,” he says, “that little white wire that said you had an iPod ---that was cool. But now wearing the white bud means you‟re just like everyone else. Headphones occupy this critical piece of cranial real estate and are highly visible.”Today, Skullcandy is America's second-largest headphone supplier, after Sony. With 79 employees, the company is bigger than Al den ever imagined.86. Alden came up with the idea of a new kind of headphone because he ______.A. was no longer in snowboarding business.B. had no other business opportunities.C. was very fond of modern music.D. saw an inconvenience among mobile users.87. The new headphone was originally designed for ______.A. snowboarders.B. motorcyclists.C. mountain hikers.D. marathon runners.88. Did Alden solve the money problem? ______.A. He sold his house and his cars.B. Factories could ship products before being paid.C. He borrowed money from a mortgage company.D. He borrowed money from his wife's family.89. What did Alden do to promote sales in FYE stores? ______.A. He spent more money on product advertising.B. He promised to buy back products not sold.C. He agreed to sell products at a discount.D. He improved the colour design of the product.90. Alden sees headphones as ______.A. a sign of self-confidence.B. a symbol of status.C. part of fashion.D. a kind of device.TEXT CI was standing in my kitchen wondering what to have for lunch when my friend Taj called. “Sit down,” she said. I thought she was going to tell me she had just gotten the haircut from hell. Ilaughed and said, “It can't be that bad.”But it was. Before the phone call, I had 30 years of retirement saving in a “safe” fund with abrilliant financial guru（金融大亨）.When I put down the phone, my savings weregone. I felt as if I had died and, for some unknown reason, was still breathing.Since Bernie Madoff‟s arrest on charges of running a $65 million Ponzi scheme, I'veread many articles about how we investors should have known what was going on. I wish Icould say I had reservations about Madoff before “the Call”, but I did not.On New Year's Eve, three weeks after we lost our savings, six of us Madoff people gathered atTaj's house for dinner. As we were sitting around the table, someone asked, “If you could haveyour money back right now, but it would mean giving up what you have learned by losing it,would you take the money or would you take what losing the money has given you?”My husband was still in financial shock. He said, “I just want the money back.” I wasn't certain where I stood. I knew that losin g our money had cracked me wide open. I‟d been walking around like what the Buddhists call a hungry ghost: always focused o n the bite that was yet to come, not the one in my mouth. No matter how much I ate or had or experienced, it didn‟t satisfy me, because I wasn‟t really taking it in, wasn't absorbing it. Now I was forced to pay attention. Still, I couldn't honestly say that if s omeone had offered me the money back, I would turn it down.But the other four all said that what they were seeing about themselves was incalculable, andthey didn‟t think it would have become apparent without the ground of financial stability beingripped out from underneath them.My friend Michael said,I‟d started to get complacent. It‟s as if the muscles of my heart started to atrophy（萎缩）. Now they‟re awake, alive—and I don‟t want to go back.”Theseweren‟tjust empty words. Michael and his wife needed to take in boarders to meet their expenses. Taj was so broke that she was moving into someone‟s garage apartment in three weeks. Three friends had declared bankruptcy and weren't sure where or how they we re going to live.91. What did the author learn from Taj‟s call?A. had got an awful haircut.B. They had lost their retirement savings.C. Taj had just retired from work.D. They were going to meet for lunch.92. How did the author feel in the following weeks?A. Angry.B. Disappointed.C. Indifferent.D. Desperate.93. According to the passage, to which was she “forced to pay attention”?A. Her friends.B. Her husband.C. Her lost savings.D. Her experience.94. Which of the following statements is CORRECT about her friends?A. Her friends valued their experience more.B. Her friends felt the same as she did.C. Her friends were in a better financial situation. D Her friends were more optimistic than she.95. What is the message of the passage?A. Desire for money is human nature.B. One has to be decisive during crises.C. Understanding gained is more important than money lost.D. It is natural to see varied responses to financial crises.TEXT DIn the 19th century, there used to be a model of how to be a good person. There are all these torrents of passion flowing through y ou. Your job, as captain of your soul, is to erect dams to keep these passions in check. Your job is to just say no to laziness, lust, greed, drug use and the other sins.These days that model is out of fashion. You usually can‟t change your behaviour by simply resolving to do something. Knowin g what to do is not the same as being able to do it.Your willpower is not like a dam that can block the torrent of self-indulgence. It's more like a muscle, which tires easily. Moreo ver, you're a social being. If everybody around you is overeating, you‟ll probably do so, too.The 19th-century character model was based on an understanding of free will. Today, weknow that free will is bounded. People can change their lives, but ordering change is notsimple because many things, even within ourselves, are beyond our direct control.Much of our behaviour, for example, is guided by unconscious habits. Researchers atDuke University calculated that more than 40 percent of the actions we take are governed byhabit, not actual decisions. Researchers have also come to understand the structure of habits—cue, routine, reward.You can change your own personal habits. If you leave running shorts on the floor atnight, that'll be a cue to go running in the morning. Don‟t try to ignore your afternoon snackcraving. Every time you feel the cue for a snack, insert another routine. Take a walk.Their research thus implies a different character model, which is supposed to manipulatethe neural（神经系统的）networks inside.To be an effective person, under this model, you are supposed to coolly examine yourown unconscious habits, and the habits of those under your care. You are supposed to devisestrategies to alter the cues and routines. Every relationship becomes slightly manipulative, including your relationship with you rself. You're trying to arouse certain responses by implanting certain cues.This is a bit disturbing, because the important habitual neural networks are not formedby mere routine, nor can they be reversed by clever cues. They are burned in by emotion andstrengthened by strong yearnings, like the yearnings for admiration and righteousness. If you think you can change your life in a clever way, the way an advertiser can get you to buy an air freshener, you're probably wrong. As the Victorians understood, if yo u want to change your life, don‟t just look for a clever cue. Commit to some larger global belief.96. Which of the following is a key element in the 19th-century character model?A. Passion.B. Action.C. Capability.D. Determination.97. The 19th-century model supposedly does not work because ______.A. there were many other factors beyond one's control.B. it has worked unsatisfactorily most of the time.C. the comparison of free will to a dam is groundless.D. what one wishes to do should be considered carefully.98. What is the main implication of the research at Duke University?A. Habit is key to one's behavior.B. One's behavior is difficult to change.C. Both habit and will power are important.D.

We don't express these desires in real life because of the rules of polite society. Another theory is that dreams allow us to solve problems that we can't solve in real life. We go to sleep with the problem and wake up with the solution. This maybe a way to use our dreams rather than a purpose of dreaming. If you believe that your dreams are important, then analyzing them may help you to focus on the problem and help you to find the solution. The modern image is that the dreams are the brains' wave of cleaning up the computer's hard disk. Dreams organize the events of the day into folders and delete what is not needed. But we all know that very little of what we dream is concerned with what happened to us that day.PART 2 LITENING COMPREHENSION 1-10 ABCAD ACAAD11-20 DCADB BBDAC21-30 DBADB CBBCA PART 3 CLOZE 31-40 DACBD CBACB41-50 DCADB BCDBBPART 4 GRAMMAR & VOCABULARY51.

And their charm comes from an apparent contradiction in the national character. They are extremely conservative in social relationships; within the family and when meeting friends and business acquaintances, their conduct is governed by strict social patterns.At the same time,they are one of the most ntellectually progressive people in the world. They are always open to new ideas.All social occasions in Sweden are regulated by rules and traditions. And these traditions are expressed in a specific ritual (仪式) made up of formal bows, handshakes, and greetings. When a visitor enters a Swedish home, he is invariably received with a "Welcome"; when he leaves, his host will tell him "You will be welcome again". These charming phrases are an indestructible part of Swedish social life and they give it an old-world flavor of good manners.Equally attractive is the Swedish acceptance of modern technological equipment. A traveller never needs to search for a telephone in Sweden: telephone booths are placed at regular intervals along the main streets and highways. And in church, for example, long benches are fitted with hearing aids for worshippers who may be hard of hearing. Swedish homes are among the best equipped in the world and travellers in Sweden find their journeys made easy by the use of the most efficient modern devices.31. The contradiction of the Swedes can be found in ____.A) their strictness in social activities and friendliness in entertaining guestsB) their conserved attitude towards social relationships and openness to initiative ideasC) their clearly set social patterns and enthusiasm about big partiesD) their specific ritual and concern about good manners32."Invariably" in the second paragraph can be best replaced with ___.A) "often" B) "usually" C) "sometimes" D) "always"33.

This has distorted our understanding of each other, separating us into the known and unknown, whatever our perspectives.Pincker’s point is well taken. He argues that should an extraterrestrial (外星人), for example, land on planet earth she would be struck not by these differences, which would be invisible to her, but by how much alike we all are. She would hear us speak, run human speech through her PDA (Personal Digital Assistance), and learn that all human speeches have nouns, verbs and modifiers. Each one of the 800 or so human languages has ways to express relative location (English uses avast array of prepositions for this purpose; other languages use case markers, or post-positional words, like Japanese). All languages express what is past, what is happening at the moment, and has ways to predict or plan future action. All have words and phrases to express hope and hopelessness, passion and friendship, anger and negotiation and apology. The extraterrestrial would say we all speak dialects of one common language.Pincker has noted that there are emotional and cultural universals that stretch across races, across national borders, with differences only in the slightest sense. All cultures value beauty, and a beautiful baby or woman or man is recognized as such whether African, Asian or European. All cultures cherish families and punish crime, and define crime in fairly similar ways.36.Pincker thinks traditional anthropology has laid too much emphasis on____.A) the differences among human beingsB) the similarities among human racesC) the differences between the human and the extraterrestrialD) the similarities between the human and the extraterrestrial37. According to Pinker, if the extraterrestrial comes to earth, ____.A) she will be impressed by the odd and dark sides of human beingsB) human beings tend to treat her in an odd and hostile wayC) she will first notice the common points in all human beingsD) she will be strongly impressed by the language of English and Japanese38. Which of the following point about human languages is NOT mentioned in the passage?A) They all have ways to express relative locations.B) They all have ways to express time.C) They all have ways to describe family and crime.D) They all have ways to describe feels.39. Pincker will most probably agree that ____.A) if we behave like the extraterrestrial, we can be happier and more contentedB) different peoples have different standards about beautyC) different languages on the earth are dialects of one common languageD) if we notice more of the common parts among human beings, we can live a morepeaceful life40. The author's attitude towards Pincker's theory is ____.A) critical B) ironical C) objective D) negativePassage ThreeMany people try every means to make themselves look younger and more attractive. Some even go under the surgeon’s knife to achieve the state of grace. Surgery that can improve the way a person looks is called cosmetic surgery, which is becoming more and more popular in the world nowadays.Both men and women are turning to this treatment as a way of keeping their appearance young as well as keeping competitive in their jobs. Men especially are beginning to turn to facelifts, liposuction (taking fat out of the body), and implants (putting artificial parts into their bodies ) to help them look younger. As companies downsize and move younger employees into higher positions, older employees in their late forties and early fifties feel the need to look and act younger in order to stay competitive. A younger look through cosmetic surgery may give an older employee a few more years on the job. These operations are not without dangers, however.One young woman had an eye operation to get rid of the dark bags under her eyes. She described her experience as terrible. She said, “When he sta rted cutting, I was fully awake. Even though he’d given me an injection near my eyes, I saw everything.” She went on to explain, “I knew I had to keep still because of what he was doing. He was scraping away fat underneath myeyes. It took about ten minute s. After he finished, I felt I couldn’t walk. I was so faint.” Her troubles did not end after the operation. For two weeks, her eyes were swollen and almost completely closed, and even dark glasses could not hide the side effects of the operation.Liposuction, taking fat out of the body, is probably the most popular cosmetic operation in the United States. It seems simple enough. First, a small cut is made over the place where the patient wants the fat removed. Next, a small pipe is put into the cut. A machine like a vacuum cleaner is then turned on, and the fat is sucked right out of the body. However, as one doctor explained, some problems can happen after the operation. He warned, “Irregular lumps and loose skin can result from this operation. If it is no t evenly done, liposuction can produce a very lumpy result.” Patients often must have more liposuction to correct the problem.41.
