You enjoy a better work life balance, don't have to commute to the office and get to work in casual clothes if you want. Designing your home office space can produce a positive effect, too-if you're not stuck in a crowded room all day. Here are two ideas to help you design the ultimate home office.Choose your color. While some people like bright colors, you might not want to see yellow or green every day. Paint your office walls in a neutral (中性) color to give your eyes a break. You should also avoid darker colors, which tend to make small spaces feel even smaller.This doesn't mean your home office needs to be completely neutral. Add something like a framed art.Play with natural light. You might push your desk into a dark comer, creating an office cubicle (隔间). Working in a small space can make your home office feel much more opressire than it needs to be.Instead, look for areas where natural light flows in your home. Move your desk close to windows while keeping it parallel to them to reduce glare (刺眼的光). You can also add curtains to help you manage the amount of light that enters your workspace each day, particularly around lunch time.According to the first paragraph, if you work from home, you canA.wear informallyB.earn more moneyC.work more efficientlyD.concentrate on your work2、The writer believes that designing one's home office space canA.increase the room sizeB.create a positive effectC.make it look professionalD.attract more customers3、Why are you advised not to use darker colors when designing your office space?A.They can create a dull atmosphere.B.They may easily make you feel depressed.C.They do not match your office desk and chair.D.They are likely to make your space look smaller.4、The word查看答案【三、词语结构A】1~5BADCB6~10ADCB【四、词语结构B】1personally2cooperation3be copied4more successful5depending【五、阅读理解A】1~5ABDCB6~10BADA【六、阅读理解B】1tech professionals2an experienced expert3their full potential4one-to-one sessions598%6~10点击下载查看答案【七、阅读理解C】1the doors2litter3allow space4passengers to exit5on the floor【八、翻译A】【九、翻译B】1我们的职责是确保社区的健康和平安。

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You shoulddecide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the AnswerSheet with a single through the canter.Questions 31-35 are based on the following passage.Corporations as a group offer a variety of jobs. Most large companies send people to colleges to interview graduating students with the required academic training. A large university may have more than 500 companies a year knocking on its doors. Big firms are your best place for a job because their normal growth, employee retirements, and turnover (缺补工人数)create thousands ofjobs nationwide each year. Corporations, however, illustrate the rule that the biggest isn't always the best. Many small firms with just a few hundredemployees have positions that may correspond with your profession goal, too. Such firms may not have the time, money, or need to send people around to your college; you'll probably have to contact them yourself either directly or through an employment agency. Don't ignore these little companies. Their salaries are usually competitive and the chances for advancement andrecognition even stronger than those of a big firm. You could become a bigfish in a small pond, reaching a high level position more quickly than you had climbed the more competitive ladder of a corporate giant. For example, a small company may need a bright engineering accounting(会计学)or management graduate who would report directly to the senior vice-president of engineering, the company controller, or the general manager. In larger firms it may take years to reach that level and accumulate similar in-depth experience. In addition responsibilities may come faster in a small firm with less specialization and fewer lower-level employees to receive delegated (授与的)authority.31. The purpose of the passage is _______.A. to define corporations and firmsB. to show the relation between firms and collegesC. to criticize large firmsD. to give a description of corporations for college students32. Which of the following is NOT TRUE for large corporation? _____A. they send people to colleges to give interview.B. they can offer many job opportunities.C. they only employ college students.D. their sizes normally grow.33. The word "Their" (Line 6, Para. 2) refer to _____.A. corporationsB. graduating studentsC. small firmsD. employers34. Which of the following is TRUE of small firms?A. it may be unnecessary for them to send people to college.B. their employees maybe promoted more quickly.C. they will not offer positions which you demand.D. they areunwillingly to send people to college.35. With whom is the passage most probably concerned?A. students.B. employers.C. employees.D. engineersQuestions 36-40 are based on the following passage.Here in the United States, before agriculture activities destroyed the natural balance, there were great migrations of Rocky Mountain locusts (蝗虫)(Melanoplus spretus). Great migrating hordes of these insects once darkenedthe skies on the plains east of the Rockies where crops were often destroyed;the worst years were those from to . One of these migration swarms was estimated to contain 124 billion locusts. During another migration in Nebraska it was estimated that the swarm of locusts averaged half a mile high and was 100 miles wide and 300 miles long. Usually, these swarms take off from the ground against the wind, but, once airborne, they turn and fly with it. Warm convection currents help to lift them, often to great height. During the great locust plagues the situation in Nebraska became so serious that the original state constitution had to be rewritten to take care of the economic problems. The new document was known as " The Grasshopper Constitution." It is now believed that these locusts were a migratory form or phase of the lesser migratory locust, which is still common there. In this respect, the North American migratory locusts resemble their African relatives. In both regions, the migratory forms arise as a result of crowding and climatic factors. Migratory forms are apparently natural adaptations which bring about dispersal when locust populations become too crowded.Fortunately for our farmers, the migratory form -- the so-called spretus species -- no longer seems to occur regularly, although there was a serious outbreak as late as in Midwestern United States and Canada. Actually, thereis no reason why the destructive migratory form might not again appear if circumstance should become favorable.36. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. the Kinds of LocustsB. the life style of LocustsC. Migratory Locusts in the United StatesD. the life Cycle of Locusts37. According to the passage, the worst destruction by locusts in the plains area east of the Rockies occurred during the ______.A. eighteenth centuryB. early nineteenth centuryC. late nineteenth centuryD. twentieth century38. It can be inferred from the passage that the state constitution of Nebraska was rewritten in order to ______.A. provide for a regular census of the locust populationB. make the constitution more understandable to the publicC. encourage farmers to leave the estateD. solve difficulties that resulted from loss of crops39. According to the passage North American and African migratory locusts are similar in that ______.A. their destruction activities occur only in plainareasB. they always travel toward mountainous regionsC. they are both mentioned [in state constitutionsD. climates affect their development40. What does "horde" (line3, Para. 1) probably mean?A. tribeB. large groupC. horizonD. nestleQuestions 41-45 are based on the following passage.Did you know that all human beings have a "comfort zone" regulating the distance they stand from someone when they talk? This distance varies in interesting ways among people of different cultures. Greeks, others of the Eastern Mediterranean, and many of those from South America normally stand quite close together when they talk, often moving their faces even closer as they warm up in a conversation. North Americans find this awkward and often back away a few inches. Studies have found that they tend to feel most comfortable at about 21 inches apart. In much of Asia and Africa, there is even more space between two speakers in conversation. This greater space subtly lends an air of dignity and respect. This matter of space is nearly always unconscious, but it is interesting to observe. The difference applies also to the closeness with which people sit together, the extent to which they lean over one another in conversation, how they move as they argue or make an emphatic point. In the United States, for example, people try to keep their bodies apart even in a crowded elevator; in Paris they take it as it comes! Although North Americans have a relatively wide "comfort zone" for talking, they communicate a great deal with their hands-not only with gesture but also with touch. They put a sympathetic hand on a person's shoulder to demonstrate warmth of feeling or an arm around him in sympathy; they nudge a man in the ribs to emphasize a funny story; they pat an arm in reassurance or stroke a child's head in affection; they readily take someone's arm to help him across a street or direct him along an unfamiliar route. To many people- especially those from Asia or the Moslem countries-such bodily contact is unwelcome, especially if inadvertently done with the left hand. ( The left hand carries no special significance in the US. Many Americans are simply left handed and use that hand more.)41. The longer distance between two Asian speakers subtly show ______.A. hateB. loveC. respectD. insult42. What is NOT TRUE about "comfort zone"?A. it means the distance two speakers stand from each other.B. it varies according to speakers fromdifferent nations.C. it is not only used to show respect.D. it measures 21 inches.43.

Christ Thomas, managing director of the Jebsen Motor Group, freely admits that the restored cars he is selling are definitely an emotional purchase. Betraying some ofthat emotion, he glanced fondly at the kaan-restore 356 model, saying:"I'm in love with that car; you mentally cradle it." Thomas is not alone in offeringhis affections. There is a growing band of classic car owners nowadays. Tom Surrency, chairman of the classic Car Club, says," The variety is amazing. However, the most popular models are British MG sports cars, Italian Alfa Romeos, Porsches, and E-type Jaguars." Around a dozen garages are geared tolook after these cars. Surrency says it is fortunate in having particularly good panel beaters and specialists in carpet and upholstery work. The main problem is now the battle against rust. The combination of high humiditylevels and salt from the sea is a garage for storage. Having owned classiccars over a period of some 15 years, I can confidently report that they offera significant alternative to mere transportation. Driving a classic car is the road pleasure.46.

Here is some 83.simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. First of all, itis important to do your homework. Find out everything you can about your subject. And, at the same time, find out much as you 84.can about your audience. Who are they? What do they knowabout your subject? Ask you the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion? 85.Why are you speaking? Are you introducing another speaker?Giving a lecture? Or convince someone? There are many possible 86.speaking roles, and each one has its own special characteristics.Make sure you know by which category you fit. Don't spoil your 87.speech by confusing one speaking role to another. 88.Let us suppose that you have asked to introduce the main 89.speaker at a conference. First, find out the most important andinteresting things about the speaker. Then, summarize thisinformation in a few remarks.

You could become a bigfish in a small pond,...92. (Lines 8-10, Para. 1, Passage 2)Usually, these swarms take off fromthe ground against the wind, but, one airborne, they turn and fly with it. Warm convection currents help to lift them, often to great heights.93. (Line 1-3, Para. 2, Passage 2)The difference applies also to the closeness with which people sit together, the extent to which they lean over one another in conversation, how they move as they argue or make an emphatic point.94. (Line 1-3, Para. 2, Passage 3)Although North Americans have arelatively wide "comfort zone" for talking, they communicate a great deal with their hands-not only with gesture but also with touch.95. (Lines 1-2, Para. 5, Passage 4)Classic cars provoke strong feeling, and enthusiasts argue passionately (热情地) over the virtues and drawbacks of the various models.Part III short answer question Directions: in this part, there is a short passage with five questions or incomplete statements. Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words (not exceeding 10 words).The Kosovo ConflictThe protests last week outside the American, British and German embassies in Macedonia are the first public manifestation (表现) of a potential anti-Western backlash in the Balkans.Avoiding a wider Balkan war was one of the reasons which NATO gave for its action against Yugoslavia. The fears are real. But, at least for the moment, they remain fairly slim.(渺茫)The war in Kosovo (科索沃) will get much worse. But it will be contained, and the Balkans will not go up in smoke. This is about the only good regional story for many months.Macedonia is the most critical area. A former Yugoslav republic created on territory historically coveted by both Bulgaria (保加利亚) and Greece, the Macedonians are still fighting for international recognition of their name, flag and national identity.Their disputes have not been solved. but the critical security concerns have at least been alleviated.Greece, which objects to many Macedonian claims of statehood, has accepted an international mediation.And Bulgaria, which denied even the existence of a Macedonian nation, is now cooperating closely with its neighbor.Macedonia also includes a large ethnic Albanian minority, which lives in compact masses right on the border of Kosovo and Albania itself.When it comes to repressing the Albanians, therefore, the Macedonians and Serbs (塞族)are likely to be allies.Some of the demonstrators outside Western embassies in the republic expressed their resentment againstNATO, mainly because they fear an independent Kosovo.But the republic also has a serious military presence of roughly 13,000 Alliance soldiers. President Milosevic (米洛舍维奇)has vaguely threatened to foment trouble there (the latest anti-Western demonstrations were by ethnic Serbs in Macedonia a small local community).The chances are, however, that Yugoslavia will not meddle (干涉)too much in Macedonia, at least not at the moment, if only because Milosevic cannot afford to fight a war on two fronts, and any attack on NATO forces in Macedonia will involve ground fighting, precisely what the Yugoslav president wishes to avoid.Questions:96. One of the reasons which NATO gave for its action against Yugoslavia is97. is about the only good regional story for many months.98. The most critical area is99. lives in compact masses on the border of Kosovo and Albania itself.100.
