Her home was in the countryside, but she did not want to go back there every night, so she bought an expensive house in the centre of the city, got some beautiful furniture (家具) and got a man to paint the rooms in new colours.It was very difficult to get tickets for her show, because everybody wanted to see it. So she decided to give the painter two of the best seats. She hoped that this would make him work better for her. He took the tickets without saying anything, and she heard no more about them until the end of the month, when she got the painter’s bill (账单). At the bottom of it were these words: “ Four hours watching Miss Hall sing and dance: 3 pounds,” with this note: “After 5 p.m., I get 15 shillings (先令) an hour instead of 10 shillings.”60. The actress bought a house in the centre of the city because ______.A. she liked to live in the busiest placeB. she didn’t like to live in the countryC. her home was far away from where she workedD. she didn’t want to go back to her hometown any longer61.

And yet when you travel from one country to another, you will find that people have quite different feelings about food. People often feel that what they eat is normal (正常) and that what other people eat is strange or silly. In most parts of Asia, for example, no meal is complete without rice. In England, people eat potatoes every day. In the Middle East, bread is the main part of every meal. Eating like so many things we do, becomes a habit which is difficult to change. Americans like to drink a lot of orange juice and coffee. The English drink tea four or five times every day. Australians drink a great deal of beer, and the French drink wine every day.In Hong Kong, some people enjoy eating snakes. New Zealanders eat sheep, but they never eat goat meat. The Japanese don't like to eat sheep meat because of its smell, but they enjoy eating raw fish (生鱼).So it seems that although eating is a topic we can talk about for hours, there is very little common sense in what we say it. People everywhere enjoy eating what they have always eaten, and there is very little we can do to change our eating habits.64. Which of the following is true according to the article?A. All people have the same feeling about food.B. In most parts of Asia, people usually have rice for meals.C. People often consider other people to be strange or silly.D. The topic people spend time talking about isbread and meat.65. People in different countries ___ .A. drink the same sort of wineB. have the same eating habitC. eat different kinds of meatD. have the same tea at different time within a day66. The Japanese don't like to eat sheep meat __ .A. because they dislike its smellB. because it is too expensiveC. because it is easy to go badD. because they think it will do harm to their health67. English people drink tea four or five times a day _ .A. because they get thirsty easilyB. because there is plenty of tea in BritainC. because of their drinking habitD. because they have enough time to do soDThe fact that blind people can see things using other parts of their bodies apart from their eyes may help us to understand our feelings about color. If they can sense color differences, then perhaps we, too, are affected (影响) by color without knowing it. Salesmen have discovered by experience over a long period of time that sugar sells badly in green wrappings (包装), that blue foods are considered not agreeable to the taste ,and that cosmetics (化妆品) should never be packed in brown. These discoveries have grown into a whole subject of color psychology (心理学).Some of our preferences (偏爱) are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore connected with calm, while yellow is a day color connected with energy and encouragement. Experiments have shown that colors, partly because they are connected with psychology, also have a direct effect on people’s mind. People in bright red surroundings (环境) show an increase in breathing speed, heartbeat and blood pressure. Red is exciting. Pure blue has exactly the opposite effect; it is a calming color. Being exciting, red was chosen as the signal for danger, but a closer study shows that a bright yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm, so fire engines in some advanced areas are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop buses, trucks and cars.65. The passage tells us that salesmen have _______.A. found out that colors affect salesB. discovered the relationship between color and psychologyC. tried colors on blind peopleD. developed a special subject of color psychology66. If people are exposed to (置身于) pure blue, _______.A. their body pressure risesB. they won’t easily feel nervousC. they want to taste blue foodsD. they will feel like buying things67. The most effective color in the passage for warning people is _____.A. redB. bright yellowC. dark blueD. green68. Which of the following do you think is the best title of the passage?A. Color and FeelingsB. Colors and SalesC. The Blind and ColorsD. Preferences for ColorsEAntarctica, with its seemingly endless icy beauty, is one place where one look is worth a thousand words. My own dream to see it came true last January when I joined the sixth exploration crew(考查队) of the China National Marine Bureau. We spent 10 days connecting flights to reach our goal, but finally arrived at the Great Wall Station on Antarctica on the eve of Chinese New Year.There are only two seasons in Antarctica: winter and summer. You get polar nights in winter and polar days in summer. Day is longer than night in summer, and the temperature often reaches below zero. Luckily, there are no snowstorms in summer, which makes it the best season to travel. What I imagined before starting for Antarctica was a world of ice, storms, endless cold and loneliness. When I stopped on Antarctica for the first time, however, I saw rich, energetic and beautiful scenery that was beyond anything I had imagined.We only spent 11 days at the South Pole, but every minute was spent taking pictures and losing our heart to the wonderland. Beauty enveloped us as we watched the world around us. The mountains, oceans, ice, snow, sky, earth and people all seemed to have their own stories.Rocks from Antarctica are considered valuable. Unfortunately, I didn’t bring one back. However, my heavy bags full of films are certainly worth that. It is in these pictures that the true Antarctica comes alive.72. What is the best title for this passage?A. Antarctica, my dream world.B. Beautiful Antarctica.C. What I’ve got in Antarctica.D. My visit to Antarctica.73. Why is summer the best season to go to Antarctica?A.There are no snowstorms in summer.B. Night is longer than day in summer.C. The temperature often reaches below zero in summer.D. In this season, Antarctica is world of ice, storms and loneliness.74. What made the writer unexpected(意外) is that he saw_______.A. the only two seasons there: winter and summerB. the world of ice, storms ,endless cold and lonelinessC. the rich, energetic and beautiful sceneryD. the Great Wall Station and many rocks there75. The writer joined the sixth exploration team to _______.A. make some studies of the weather and the animalsB. study the relationship between the weather and the animalsC. collect some information for a scientific study centerD. capture(捕获) the rich, energetic and beautiful scenery第二节: 书面表达（满分25分）假设你是王林，你对Brown先生的公司感兴趣，打算到该公司谋职。
