Having only 30 minutes between meeting. I whizzed there in a taxi from the office and battled through the milling people on the 2nd day of the sales on the ground floor up to the 5th to the china department. There was a man standing there who was obviously a sales person who I rushed up to and asked if he had this particular china in stock and if it would take long to wrap, etc. He was amazing. He got the plates in seconds, wrapped them up and asked me if I wanted a store card, to which I replied no, because I lived in Switzerland, to which he replied asking if, as I lived abroad, would like a tax rebate form(退税表). After that he showed me what to do, produced a map of the store and told me where I should go for the formalities(程序). That was fabulos! I thanked him and said what wonderful service he had given me. I even asked if he gave this to everyone, to which he answered: “I’m just doing what is required at Harrods”. With that, a tall man in a grey suit approached me and offered his hand to shake mine saying, “Can I introduce myself? I am the Chief Executive of Harrods and what an interesting conversation I have just heard…” He had been wandering through the store (as you should do as a hands-on CEO) and had overheard me thanking this salesman, whose face, I can hardly describe, was frozen in a mixture of delight awe and astonishment!

The determined little boy’s disappearing act led to a full-scale search, including nine police officers, five State Emergency Service volunteers, tracker dogs and almost all of the residents(居民) of the town of Goombungee. His mother, Chris, says she called the police when Joey disappeared one afternoon after telling his older brother, Lachlan, 14, that he was off to play hide-and-seek. “I called the two boys for dinner, ” Chris says. “After about 20 minutes I started to worry. I was shouting to Joey, ‘OK, we can’t find you, time to come out!’ ” But there was no sign of her little boy. Within minutes of Chris calling the authorities, the policestarted on of the biggest ground searches in the town’s history. “I was really scared. I rang my husband, Kris, who works out of town, and he immediately hit the road, calling me every 10 minutes, ” Chris recalls. “They searched the house from top to bottom; everyone was out looking for him. When a neighbour asked if I’d checked the water tank, that’s when reality hit. I was terrified.” After hours of searching the town, confused police decided to search the house one more time. “I just sat there waiting, ” Chris says. “Then a strange feeling came over me, and I wanderedinto the bedroom and put my hand on a pile of blankets in the cupboard. As I pulled them out, there he was --- asleep and completely unaware of what was going on! I’ve never hugged him so hard. Senior constable(巡警), Chris Brameld, from Goombungee police, says he is glad that Joey’s game had a happy ending: “When we realized he was safe, we agreed that it doesn’t get much better than that!” And young Joey promises that next time he won’t be so intent on finding the best hiding place. “I want to say sorry to the policemen and to Mummy for scaring them, ” he says. “ I promise next timeI’ll hide where they can find me and I won’t fall asleep!” 61.

I preferred to live… preferred → preferAs is known to all, food is a priority for the common people. Recently, however, reports about food problems have often been seen in the newspapers, showing that people have always been concerned about what they eat every day.There are several reasons for this severe problem. First and foremost, the public, especially customers from poor families, are not alert enough to the safety of food. In addition, some of the food producers are too fond of making profits, leading to the result that they use whatever will make the food look good or taste better without considering the bad consequences. Last but not least, the lack of adequate laws and regulations and punishment on those illegal producers makes things worse.Therefore, it is high time that we took all the measures necessary to forbid the food producers to make food that is not safe enough. Related laws should be strengthened and the government should have more control over these producers. And more importantly, moral ideas of producing and keeping food safe ought to be accepted by everyone. Only when people are no longer worried about whether their food is safe or not can they enjoy a better life.。

When we were seated, my dad asked the waitress if there were any soldiers eating at the restaurant. Then waitress said there was a soldier having dinner with his friend. My dad told the waitress to tell the soldier and his friend that their dinner was paid for! He also said that he did not want to be known as the benefactor (施恩者).Then waitress later commented on my dad’s thoughtful behavior saying that she had never seen anything like this before. At a local college, she had studied opera and so she used this to thank my dad by performing a piece from The Pearl Fisherman. Her voice brought me to tears because it sounded perfect!After a while, the soldier appeared at our table (I don’t know how he knew my dad paid the bill for him.) and said that he would be sent to the front (前线) the next morning and that he could not leave this country without saying “thanks” to my dad. My dad replied that it was he who wanted to say “thanks”. They shook hands as the soldier left.Before we left, the waitress came by again. She did a magic show as another way to show her “thanks” to my dad. Her show was really great. My dad left her a note with email address asking for her next performance time in addition to a $ 50 tip.Everyone witnessed something exemplary (典范的) in the human spirit that night.I can only hope to see more of this in the future.56.

In a travel agency leafletC. In a book shopD. In a daily newspaperCEvery year many students went to the college bookstore to buy the different textbooks that they need for their classes. Little do these students realize that, in doing so, they are throwing good money away. It may sound unbelievable but textbooks, in some cases, actually cost as much as, if not more than, college fees.Many people think that college bookstores are the most convenient source for textbooks. Titles are usually kept and students may purchase new textbooks or choose to buy second-hand books and save money. But the money saved by purchasing second-hand textbooks from college bookstores is small compared to the amount they could save by shopping online.More and more online booksellers have begun selling textbooks at heavily discounted prices. Online second-hand bookstores are another source for college books as they keep a large number of textbooks, which means sizable savings for students. Students should avoid purchasing their textbooks at the first store that they surf online since there are so many ‘unreal’ booksellers on the Net. Price isn't the only factor to consider when making an online purchase. Students shouldalso consider shopping costs and delivery time when making their decision.Online auctions (拍卖) are another option for students seeking a bargain. This option, however, has its pros and cons. A plus is that students can get incredibly cheap books. One problem is that while online bookstores have a system in place that ensure you receive your order within a reasonable amount of time, with an auction purchase, however, you must depend on the auction seller's timetable.One way that students can really save is by getting books for free. Project Gutenberg is one resource that English majors will find invaluable (无价的). Here students can legally download a huge collection of classic novels. In the past students needing help with their studies would often have to spend a lot of money buying expensive study guides. Today that is no longer the case. Cash-strapped students can now visit the website SparkNotes for free downloadable study guides as well as classics.66. Which of the following is the best title of this passage?A. Online ShoppingB. Why Buy TextbooksC. Learning to Save on TextbooksD. Tips for Buying Secondhand Textbooks67. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a source to obtain textbooks ?A. Second-hand bookstore centres.B. Online used bookstores.C. Online auctions.D. College bookstores.68. The underlined expression “pros and cons” (paragraph 4) is closest in meaning to __________.A. professionals and conservativesB. advantages and disadvantagesC. joy and sadnessD. processes and conditions69. According to the passage, Project Gutenberg is probably __________.A. a government project aimed at helping English majorsB. a website for students to get free sources for English learningC. a website for English majors to get the guides from language expertsD. a project to help poor students get free learning materials70. From the passage, we can learn that__________.A. the cost of textbooks in college is low compared to the amount spent on tuitionB. online auctions are perfect for students seeking text booksC. students should consider shopping costs and delivery time above all else when making their buying decisionD. students should visit many websites before buying their booksPART FOUR WRITINGSECTION A（共10小题；每小题 1分，满分10分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。
