For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.FROM THE CHINESE PRESS (Grandma's not-so-happy tale)An old villager traveled all the way from Hubei province to Nanjing, Jiangsu Province to see his grandchild. But his son, instead of letting him spend time with his grandchild, put him up in hotel. The old man felt humiliated because he thought his son had treated him indifferently because he was poor. The son should definitely be criticized for his action, but at the same time it is important to analyze the incident rationally, says an article in Qilu Evening News. Excerpts:The case of the old man from Hubei is another tragic Chinese family drama. Chinese tradition does not allow a son to shut out his father from His family. But condemning the son's action without knowing the details may not be a good idea.It indeed was inappropriate for the son not to take his father to his house. But it is equally inappropriate to accuse him of being heartless for picking up his father at the railway station and putting him up in a hotel. It is possible that the son had private reasons for not taking his father home. Perhaps he didn't want to burden his father with additional worries that he could have felt had he gone to his house.We should not jump to conclusions without knowing why the son didn't take the old man to his house. It is not rational to say that the son is ashamed of his father because he is a poor rural resident. When facts are not clear, making efforts to find them is more important than leveling accusations against a person.65. Which of the following words can be used to replace the underlined word “rational” inParagraph 3? A. Sensible. B. Unreasonable. C. Reachable. D.Sensitive.66. Which of the following is correct according to the passage?A. The old villager traveled all the way to borrow money from his son.B. The son should be accused of being heartless whatever the reason is.C. It is not proper for the son not to take his father to his house even if there is some reason.D. The son is ashamed of his father just because he is a poor rural resident.67. According to the writer's analysis, we should ________.A. help the son to explain the reason to the publicB. find out the reason why the son treated his father like thatC. criticize the son for his actionD. draw the conclusion that the son's behavior is against Chinese tradition68. The writer's attitude toward the son's way of treating his father is ________.A. criticalB. favorableC. objectiveD. negative(B)_______________________________ Events Calendar _________________________________TUESDAYLandscape Pests（虫子）Learn to identify, control and prevent seasonal landscape-disease and landscape-pest problems at the workshop, 3:30 pm-5 pm.

Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing, our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos (纹身）nose rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you can’t judge a book by its cover, yet people do “cover” themselves in order to convey (传递)certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances» so do companies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees (雇员),because those people represent the companies to their customers.As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are plenty of well-qualified candidates, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am open-minded, I can’t expect all our customers are.There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply cause he orshe is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.70.

Give The Monkey What He Wants Section CDirections: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A -F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.Interview with Teen Millionaire Entrepreneur (企业家) —Fraser Doherty76. ____________________I developed a set of recipes where the jams are made entirely from fruits and fruit juice. They're all natural, which is the typical feature of our product. After a year of development, I managed to convince an ad agency to work with me on labels and a factory to work with me to produce the jam. Some of the big supermarkets in the country decided to take it on and I nowsupply about 500 shops across the U.K., including Tesco, which is one of the biggest retailers in the world.77. ____________________Definitely, trying to convince one of the biggest jam manufacturers in the country to work with me to produce the jam was certainly very difficult. At first I was just going along with the set recipes. I had very little experience, no capital and just sort of an ambition to change the world of jam. I was rejected several times, but eventually I managed to convince one factory to work with me. They could see I am very enthusiastic and I'm putting everything I've got into trying to make this work.78. ____________________When it first started out I didn't, but as it grew, a couple of local entrepreneurs read about what I was doing and they thought that I reminded them of themselves when they were my age. They got in touch and we went out for coffee every month and I told them what I was trying to do. They explained things to me and told me stories of when they were first setting up. That was fantastic.79. ____________________It's certainly a challenge. I try to do things quickly and cut out things that aren't necessary to do. I'm not very sure what the correct answer is and I'm probably not the most organized person in the world. I think entrepreneurs are often chaotic (混乱的）in the way they do things. I find myself working long hours.80. ____________________There's certainly a huge amount that I want to do just within jam. The potential for international expansion is huge. The U.S. market is very appealing, so I'm starting to talk with some of the retailers over there. Eventually I'd like to develop jam for other food products. The next stop is marmalade and peanut butter and growing that way over the next few years.Section DDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.My wife and I recently completed a trip to China with China Highlights. It was a very memorable vacation. From start to finish, China Highlights was very helpful and supportive. The start of our trip began with an Internet search for a tour agency that would meet our needs and expectations. After reviewing and submitting questions to websites of many companies, weselected China Highlights. Our decision was based on the speed and content of their responses, along with the significant amount of support information provided both on their websites and in their emailed attachments. In addition, the proposed journey and price for a private tour including plane fares between cities and first class seats on a high speed train were strong incentives (激励) to select China Highlights. Their assistance and flexibility in finalizing the itinerary, with favorable payment terms, further convinced us that we made a good choice. We relied on his recommendations for several pre-departure and planning issues Up to the time of departure, Michael was always available to quickly response to our ongoing questions and ensured that we left fully prepared.From the time that we first arrived in Beijing and at every destination of the trip, the guide and the driver were at the airport / train station with signs for us. Conversely, as we left each city, they took care in getting us to the proper check-in area on time, with enough instructions for us to easily continue boarding THE transportation despite obvious communication issues since we did not speak Chinese. In hindsight, our concerns about travelling between locations were unnecessary. Similarly, travelling throughout the cities, as we visited each attraction, was very comfortable. The guides kept us informed of historical and local information. One suggestion would be to pre-identify any sites to visit and have them included in the final journey rather than try to change during the visit.The sights that we visited were most impressive. Obviously, the Great Wall, Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square, and the Terra Cotta Soldiers were everything we expected. The guides were very knowledgeable, and helped us understand many aspects of these areas.After we returned home, China Highlights followed up to make sure that we were satisfied with our trip, and to get any feedback that we wanted to provide. They even addressed some minor issues that we cited. Overall, China Highlights went over and above our expectations.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)81. What made the couple choose China Highlights during their visit to China?82. The overseas visitors were satisfied with China Highlights services except ___________________.83. During their visit, not only the sights but also ________________ made a great impression on them.84. How did China Highlights improve its quality of service after the visitors finished their journey?第II卷（共45分）I.
