TreasureSection B (20%)Directions: Read the following passages. Each passage is followed by several questions. 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.A“Notre Dame,” it said. “Big envelope!”Mike, a senior at a Californian high school, shouted with joy. The big envelope meant that the excellent university in Indiana had offered him a place in its Class of 2013. But the $51,300 annual fee is a big obstacle. So Mike and his parents are considering offers from several othercolleges and are calculating the costs of tuition, housing and holiday trips home.This year, money is the driving factor for a growing number of high school seniors, who have to decide what colleges to attend this fall. Less jobs and plunging house prices have changed family spending.“We’re excited that Mike got into eight great schools,” said Mike’s father, an engineer at Microsoft. “But if you consider going to school out of state, you’ve got to think about all of the other costs: moving, flying back and forth for the holidays. You’re looking at about $3,000 a year, just f or travel.”As families weigh their choices, some are going back to financial aid offices hoping help packages can be increased.Rachel Brown was happy to get a thick envelope from New York University (NYU). Although she has always wanted to live in Manhattan, she is seriously considering the University of California San Diego (UCSD), because of the high cost in New York.“The tuition for NYU is twice as much as UCSD,” said Rachel, 17. “My mom doesn’t want me to have a big debt when I graduate, and I don’t want that either. I’d have to take out a loan of $15,000. I’ll check and see if there’s any way that NYU can offer me any financial aid.”More than 7.6 million American students have filled out the Free Application for Students Aid, a 19.9 percent increase over last year.This month the Federal Department of Education urged college financial aid officers to give more help to certain families. A record 30,428 students applied for 2,300 places at Stanford, partly because the university increased financial aid for families earning below $10,000.56. Mike may give up Notre Dame because of ______.A. travel feesB. financial concernsC. poor exam resultsD. worries about living far away from home57. The phrase “Big envelope” in paragraph 2 probably refers to “______”.A. A text messageB. A large gift packageC. An admission letterD. A scholarship letter58. The passage mainly focuses on ______.A. the calculation of different costs including tuitionB. the extremely hard financial situation in AmericaC. the excitement of students’ being able to enter ideal collegesD. the financial crisis of families over college entranceBStudents must apply for a place before attending any class. Applications(申请), either by post or in person, are dealt with strictly in the order they are received at the Adult Education Office.You can apply:BY POST-Use the card provided with the exact fee. You'll be accepted on the course unless it is full, in which case we will inform you. An acknowledgment(承认) will not be made nor a receipt(收据) sent unless you provide a stamped addressed envelope. Receipts will normally be given out at the first class.IN PERSON-Call at the Adult Education Office (ground floor, Block C) between approximately 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. (2:30 p.m. on Fridays), or at the College Reception Desk (at the main entrance) at the other times (in the evenings until about 7:30 p.m. on Fridays).Students should note that popular classes may be full well before the course is to start, so that early application is strongly advised to avoid disappointment.For the AUTUMN TERM, applications will be accepted by post (preferably) or in person from 1st August.For the SPRING TERM, applications will be accepted from 1st December.For the SUMMER TERM, applications will be accepted from 1st April.59．Students who apply to the college by post will ________ .A．avoid disappointmentB．be sent a billC．have an advantage over people applying in personD．be informed if they haven't got a place60．Students applying by post must ________ .A．hand in a stamped addressed envelope in personB．pay at the first classC．bring the receipt to the first classD．send payment with their application61．Where can students apply in person?A．At the College Reception Desk at 3:30 p.m.B．At the Adult Education Office after about 3:30 p.m.C．At the Adult Education Office at 9:30 a.m.D．At the College Reception Desk at 2:20 p.m. on Fridays.CIt is one of the greatest mysteries of nature. In case you haven’t noticed, all living things follow very definite, individual rhythms, all as regular as a clock, but what makes them regular?Though many scientists maintain that these rhythms are the result of some outside force like gravity or radiation or both, the results of most scientific researches agree with other scientists who believe that each living thing has its own built-in biological “time clock.”Take the mystery of migration for example. Scientists can’t really explain why many species of birds migrate in the autumn even though the temperature is still summery. The birds just seem to snub the comfortable weather that they are having. When a certain time comes, they travel south by the thousand. In spring time, they migrate northwards even though there probably is snow still covering the ground when they finally arrive. Something said “go,” and they did.Animals that hibernate (冬眠) are obeying individual time clocks, too. When their clock indicates the time to take a winter’s nap, they do, and nothing can stop them. At a certain time in the spring, they wake up and come out regardless of the weather outside.Plants appear to have yearly rhythms, such as the sprouting of seeds, and they also have daily rhythms. Notice sometimes that plants raise their leaves in daylight and lower them at night.If you live along the California coast, you can easily observe a demonstration of this mysterious clock functioning regularly. There, from February to September, the highest tides occur exactly every fourteen and four-fifths days, and during these high tides, but at no other time, small silvery fish called grunions surf-ride a wave to the beach. There the female deposits her eggs in the sand and the male fertilizes them; then both hitch a wave-ride back to the sea. Exactly fourteen and four-fifths days later, never before or after, the tiny eggs hatch, and the high tide carries the new babies out to sea.62. According to the passage, the mysterious rhythms result from______.A. the influence of gravity on living speciesB. the effect of radiation on living speciesC. the influence of a mysterious outer force on living speciesD. the internal mechanism inside the living species63. The underlined word "snub" in the third paragraph probably means______.A. fightB. ignoreC. symbolizeD. criticize64. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?A. Hibernating animals are obeying an internal time clock.B. The positioning of the leaves of some plants is due to the daily rhythms.C. The internal clock functioning is demonstrated in the reproducing habits of grunions.D. The yearly hibernation is more because of the weather influence than the biological functioning.65. The passage is mainly about____________.A. the rhythms of lifeB. the reasons of mysterious hibernationC. strange behaviors of speciesD. the timing for different events in the world of species第II卷（共25分）IV. Translation (15%)Directions: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1. 有人演讲的时候低声说话是不礼貌的。

Note that there is one word more than you need.Our Teacher of the Month for December 2016 is Gustavo Albarracín Quintero, who loves teaching English so much that he chose it over a film 32 as a profession.Teaching experience:It is the 33 year since 2006 that I began working in the same lan guage school. I started at 29 and I’m 39 now — time flies!What kind of teacher are you? I believe in active learning. I encourage my students to 34 things and I try to guide them through learning. I use a lot of activities. I also take them to the city galleries 35 the one that is three miles away from our school.Favourite student or class: My favourite class was one in which I had students of different ages. At first I was afraid of this, but it ended up being a 36 chance for my students and I to learn from each other. I learnt that students have different needs and interests and we must try to provide all of them with what is needed.Most successful lesson: My most successful lesson was one in which everything seemed to go wrong! Why? Because it gave me a chance to reflect on my teaching, to look back to my own mistakes, and then to look 37 . I learnt to be prepared for the unexpected (always have a Plan B!). I often tried more 38 methods, and everything worked out well in the end.Funniest thing to happen to me in a classroom:One of the funniest classes I’ve had was one with beginners.

Remember that change and improvement are learning opportunities.III. Reading Comprehension (39%)Section A (15%)Don’t Be a Medical VictimIf you add up all the errors that occur in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, health-care mistakes kill 500,000 people in the United States every year, say Joe and TeresaGraedon. In their new book, Top Screwups Doctors Make and How to Avoid Them, they discuss the most common 42 people face in doctors’ offices, pharmacies(药房), hospitals, and their own homes. Here are their top stay-safe 43 .IN THE HOSPITALTrust but check.“Hospitals are very complicated places, so it’s 44 that something will go wrong,” says Teresa Graedon. 45 , studies suggest there’s at least one mistake per person for each day in the hospital, whether 46 or life-threatening. If you are in the hospital or visiting a loved one, speak up if you 47 an error.IN THE DOCTOR’S OFFICESpeak clearly, and then repeat. Your 48 with your physician is like a noisy cell phone call: Information “dropouts” can occur if your doctor is distracted (使分心) or if you get 49 . You typically have only about 20 seconds to describe your 50 before the doctor starts asking questions. So come with a prioritized (优先化) list of 51 , and use the “teach-back” method, Joe Graedon suggests. “You might say, ‘I want to make sure I didn’t 52 anything. Can you repeat the symptoms back that seem important to you?’” And after your doctor discusses your treatment plan, say, “So what you’re asking me to do is…” That way, you’re both 53 .WHEN YOU GET A PRESCRIPTION (药方)Check for drug interactions. 54 a dangerous mix by taking a list of all your medicine to your 55 , including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, Joe Graedon says.

Each passage is followed by several questions. 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.(A)W hat do three hearts, eight arms, and one huge brain add up to?An octopus, a living thing that can do amazing things. Octopuses areextremely intelligent. They can learn new things just like humans.They’ve even learned a few tricks to get them out of dangerous situations.If an octopus is threatened by a shark or bird, it can use some pretty incredible skills to get away. Octopuses don’t ha ve teeth to defend themselves. Instead, they use more clever ways to fool their attackers. Octopuses like to hide themselves in the sand on the bottom of the ocean floor. How you ask? Well, the octopus is like a chameleon, another kind of sea animal, because it can change the colour of its skin to match the sand.Some octopuses like to stay where there are rocks. Octopuses don’t have backbones, they can squeeze themselves into small spaces between the rocks to get out of reach of their enemies. Another way an octopus can keep safe is by shooting ink. The ink forms a cloud that hides the octopus. By the time the ink clears and their enemy can see again, the octopus has swum away or hidden.If an octopus is being attacked, it can actually make itself look like a sea snake.It will bury itself in the sand, keeping two arms visible. It will change the colour of those arms to match a sea snake. But what if there’s no time to hide? If an octopus is in trouble, it can break off one of its arms. The arm will then change colours in the water to distract the enemies while the octopus swims away to safety. Don’t worry though. The octopus’s arm will grow back.The blue-ringed octopus is tiny; it could fit in the palm of your hand. Attackers might think this size makes the octopus a great snack, but they know to stay away. The blue-ringed octopus is very poisonous and can kill attackers much larger than itself. Next time you see an octopus, remember that inside that oversized head is a very large brain, making them a clever addition to the sea.57. How are an octopus and a chameleon alike?A.

I was running late for a VERY important meeting for that day. And here’s the 1, 006th: I am the world’s worst car worker. The first time I tried to change my car’s oil myself I did fine — until I forgot to put the new oil in. The boys down at the garage had a big la ugh over that.I was not sure how much it would have helped that lady who was delayed by the side of the freeway if I had pulled over and given her a hand. So I drove on, just like hundreds of other drivers on the freeway that day. But I felt a sense of shame about it. So I turned off at the next exit and made my way back to see if I could at least give her a lift or something. But by the time I got back to her, a gentleman had stopped behind her, and was repairing her car’s engine.“Is there anything I can do to help?” I asked.“No! Thank you,” the lady replied. “This nice man says he can fix it.” At that moment, a voice from under the car shouted, “OK, try it now!” The woman reached for the key and turned it. The engine started beautifully.The woman tried to give him some money, but he refused and waved as she drove off. It wasn’t until we started walking toward our cars that I noticed he had five more reasons not to stop than I did: his family was still in the railway station, waiting patiently. “Do you stop and help people like this often?” I asked.He shrugged. “Somebody has to,” he said. “What’s she going to do if nobody helps?”An d for him, that reason was enough.65.

Note that there is one word more than you need.Our Teacher of the Month for December 2016 is Gustavo Albarracín Quintero, who loves teaching English so much that he chose it over a film 32 as a profession.Teaching experience:It is the 33 year since 2006 that I began working in the same language school. I started at 29 and I’m 39 now — time flies!What kind of teacher are you? I believe in active learning. I encourage my students to 34 things and I try to guide them through learning. I use a lot of activities. I also take them to the city galleries 35 the one that is three miles away from our school.Favourite student or class: My favourite class was one in which I had students of different ages. At first I was afraid of this, but it ended up being a 36 chance for my students and I to learn from each other. I learnt that students have different needs and interests and we must try to provide all of them with what is needed.Most successful lesson: My most successful lesson was one in which everything seemed to go wrong! Why? Because it gave me a chance to reflect on my teaching, to look back to my own mistakes, and then to look 37 . I learnt to be prepared for the unexpected (always have a Plan B!). I often tried more 38 methods, and everything worked out well in the end.Funniest thing to happen to me in a classroom:One of the funniest classes I’v e had was one with beginners.

The students were amused, but my communicative aim was 40 and it was really fun for me too.Most valuable thing I’ve learn ed: There is no 41 for teaching.

Octopuses areextremely intelligent. They can learn new things just like humans.They’ve even learned a few tricks to get them out of dangerous situations.If an octopus is threatened by a shark or bird, it can use some pretty incredible skills to get away. Octopuses don’t have teeth to defend themselves. Instead, they use more clever ways to fool their attackers. Octopuses like to hide themselves in the sand on the bottom of the ocean floor. How you ask? Well, the octopus is like a chameleon, another kind of sea animal, because it can change the colour of its skin to match the sand.Some octopuses like to stay where there are rocks. Octopuses don’t have backbones, they can squeeze themselves into small spaces between the rocks to get out of reach of their enemies. Another way an octopus can keep safe is by shooting ink. The ink forms a cloud that hides the octopus. By the time the ink clears and their enemy can see again, the octopus has swum away or hidden.If an octopus is being attacked, it can actually make itself look like a sea snake.It will bury itself in the sand, keeping two arms visible. It will change the colour of those arms to match a sea snake. But what if there’s no time to hide? If an octopus is in trouble, it can break off one of its arms.

高中英语真题：2015—2016学年高一上学期期末考试试题.doc一、阅读理解(共4题)1.Once upon a time, in a beautiful mountain inn, there was a greedy old innkeeper who was always thinking about money.One day, a rich man stopped at the inn. The innkeeper looked at the guest's fat money belt and she thought, “Oh, if only all that money could be mine!” The rich man requested the most expensive room at the inn, and he went up to his room to dress for dinner.Now, all around the inn there grew beautiful Japanese ginger plants. Many people say that eating buds（芽；花蕾）of ginger makes a person forgetful. This gave the innkeeper an idea.“This evening for dinner I’ll serve ginger bud tempura (日本菜肴)!” she tho ught. “Then, when the rich man leaves in the morning, he’ll be forgetful and leave his money belt behind!” She ran into the kitchen andstarted cooking up the most delicious ginger bud tempura she had ever made.Soon, the rich man went down the stairs and requested dinner. The innkeeper could hardly contain her delight as she served him dish after dish of ginger buds. “Delicious!” said the rich man. When dinner was finished, he went to bed happy and full of ginger buds.In the morning, the innkeeper saw that the rich man off at the front door. As soon as he was out of sight, she raced up to his room. She looked all over the room for the money belt, but she couldn’t find it. Suddenly, she noticed a piece of paper on the floor. It was the rich man’s bill. He had forgotten to pay it! She ran down the stairs, out the front door, and up the road until she was out of breath, but the rich man was already far, far away.(1) What does the author want us to learn from this story?A. Innkeeper are always thinking about moneyB. Trying to take things that belong to others is foolishC. If you ever stay at a country inn, be careful about your moneyD. Helping others is a virtue(2) After he left the inn, we can infer that _______.A. the rich man was very angry at the innkeeperB. the rich man felt lucky that he didn’t lose his moneyC. the rich man was probably not aware that anything had happenedD. the rich man found some of his money was gone(3) What was the piece of paper on the floor?A. a note from the rich manB. a bill for the room at the innC. a piece of writing paperD. a letter the former guest left(4) What’s the best title of this story?A. the greedy innkeeperB. a rich manC. the Japanese gingerD. a kind heart2.Can dogs and cats live in perfect harmony in the same home? People who are thinking about adopting a dog as a friend for their cats are worried that they will fight. A recent research has found a new recipe of success. According to the study, if the cat is adopted before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs); it is highly probable that the two pets will get along swimmingly. Two-thirds of the homes interviewed reported a positive relationship between their cat and dog.However, it wasn’t all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression and fighting were observed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals were just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away it signals aggression, while a dog doing the same signals submission.In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers observed a surprising behavior. They are learning how to talk each other’s language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk ‘dog’ and dogs can learn how to talk ‘cat’.What’s interesting is that both cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence. They can learn how to read each other’s body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than wepreviously suspected. Once familiar with each other’s presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases groom (梳理) each other.The significance of the research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets —to people who don’t get along, including neighbors, colleagues at work, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.(1) What’s the underlined word “swimmingly” in Paragraph 1 closest in meaning to?A. without a messageB. without a problemC. without introductionD. without delay(2) It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs _________.A. have common interestsB. are less different than was thoughtC. have a common body languageD. are less intelligent than was expected(3) What can we human beings learn from cats and dogs?A. We should learn to live in harmony.B. We should know more about animals.C. We should live in peace with animals.D. We should learn more body languages.3. A new study showed that one of the best ways to control greenhouse gas emissions(温室气体排放) is to eat less meat. In fact, the study showed that meat consumption(食用量) in developed countries should be cut by 50% per person before 2050.Meat production and consumption are expected to rise very quickly to a high level by 2050. That’s because the global population is expec ted to grow from the present 7 billion to 9 billion. But also, the diets of people inmany developing countries are changing. Countries that are developing rapidly are seeing a fast rise in protein consumption, especially red meat.Dr. Eric Davidson, the president and senior scientist at the Woods Hole Research Center in Massachusetts, said changing the way people eat can have a great effect on greenhouse gas emissions. People in developed countries, he said, already eat much more protein than the daily requirement.“In the developed world, there is large room for us to manage the frequency with which we eat meat. If there is a growing need for meat, that is going to end up requiring use of more nitrogen fertilizer(肥料) and production of more livestock manure(家畜粪肥), both of which end up resulting in release of various forms of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere,” he said.Davidson said farmers should be encouraged to use fertilizers and manure in a more careful way. “ If we want to meet the gre atest goal of making harmful climate change under control, we need to improve the efficiency(效能) with which we use fertilizers in agriculture. We need to improve the efficiency of the management of manure. And we also need to consider changes in dietary patterns(饮食方式). And that means hopefully better diets in the developing world and better balanced diets in the developed world,” he said.Even if it were possible to turn off all harmful greenhouse gas emissions today, he said climate change would con tinue. “ But that does not mean that we can do nothing for it now, because the sooner we start to take action, the more choices our children and grandchildren will have in terms of beingable to feed themselves and have comfortable lifestyles without environmental degradation(退化),” he said.(1) According to the new study, eating less meat is ________.A. one of the best ways to keep healthyB. an effective way to develop the economyC. the best way to control greenhouse gas emissionsD. a good way to protect the environment(2) In paragraph 4, what does Dr. Eric Davidson mainly talked about?A. The harms of releasing various greenhouse gasesB. The side effects of producing fertilizers and manureC. The effects of growing need for meat on the environmentD. The ways of managing the frequency of eating meat(3) The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to______.A. the environmentB. climate changeC. greenhouse gasesD. the lifestyle(4) In Dr. Eric Davidson’s opinion, _________.A. it’s important to encourage farmers to use fertilizersB. our future generations will live more comfortablyC. a balanced diet is helpful in controlling climate changeD. it’s completely possible to control greenhouse gas emissions4.Odland remembers like it was yesterday working in an expensive French restaurant in Denver. The ice cream he was serving fell onto the white dress of a rich and important woman.Thirty years have passed, but Odland can’t get the memory out of his mind, nor the woman’s kind reaction. She was shocked, regained calmness and, in a kind voice, told the young Odland. “It’s OK. It wasn’t your fault.” When she left the restaurant, she also left the fut ure Fortune 500 CEO with a life lesson: You can tell a lot about a person by the way he or she treats the waiter.Odland isn’t the only CEO to have made this discovery. Rather, it seems to be one of those few laws of the land that every CEO learns on the way up. It’s hard to get a dozen CEOs to agree about anything, but most agree with the Waiter Rule. They say how others treat the CEO says nothing. But how others treat the waiter is like a window into the soul.Watch out for anyone who pulls out the power card to say something like, “I could buy this place and fire you,” or “I know the owner and I could have you fired.” Those who say such things have shown more about their character than about their wealth and power.The CEO who came up with it, or at least first wrote it down, is Raytheon CEO Bill Swanson. He wrote a best-selling book called Swanson’s Unwritten Rules of Management.“A person who is nice to you but rude to the waiter, or to others, is not a nice person,” Swanson says. “I wi ll never offer a job to the person who is sweet to the boss but turns rude to someone cleaning the tables.”(1) What happened after Odland dropped the ice cream onto the woman’s dress?A. He was fired.B. He was blamed.C. The woman left the restaurant at once.D. The woman comforted him.(2) Odland learned one of his life lessons from ________.A. an interesting best-selling bookB. the advice given by the CEOsC. an article in FortuneD. his experience as a waiter(3) According to the text, most CEOs have the same opinion about ________.A. Fortune 500 companiesB. the Waiter RuleC. Swanson’s bookD. the Management Rules(4) From the text we can learn that ________.A. one should respect others no matter who they areB. CEOs often show their power before othersC. one should be nicer to important peopleD. CEOs often have meals in expensive restaurants二、阅读填空(共2题)1.For several years, Americans have enjoyed teleshopping —watching TV and buying things by phone. __36__ In a number of European countries, people can turn on their TVs and shop for clothes, jewelry, food, toys, and many other things.__37__ For example, the biggest Swedish company sells different kindsof things on TV in 15 European countries, and in one year it made $100 million.

Most people don’t know 61 to do with them. Many old computers are put away in homes. Many more 62 (throw) away as rubbish.Finally, some companies are thinking of ways 63 (bring) down the number of old computers. Sony has agreed to help recycle old Sony products. Dell, Hewlett Packard and other 64 (company) now also take back some old computers.In some countries, laws have been passed, too. Computer companies have to pay for collecting and 65 (recycle) their used products. And 70%of computer waste must be recycled.

Hundreds of organizations are working to solve this problem. They collect and repair old computers. Some also teach others how to repair computers. 69 computers then go to schools, charities (慈善团体) and people who need them. Giving a used computer to one of these organizations can turn one person’s rubbish 70 someone elseˈs useful things and cut down waste, too.三、完型填空(共1题)1.Six months before she died, my mother moved into an old people's home.

Even when the debit card is stilli n the victim’s wallet? It is easy, actual ly, say expert s. The recipe for creati ng fake cardsi s right thereon the Intern et.It is often called“white card”fraud. Crimin al s someho w get theirhandson the electroni ci nformation stored on a legiti mate card’s magneti c stripe. Genera lly, it’s stolen from a retail er or paymen t processor’s databa se, as happen ed when thieve s last year brokei nto comput ers at CardSy stems Soluti on Inc. Luckil y for the crimin als, Cardsy stems didn’t storej ust accoun t numbers-it even stored custom er’s secret codesthat were never meant to be copied on magneti c stripe s. Stolen“ mag stripe” data is the holy grai lfor card thieve. Then they take the stolen data and writei t onto a new, blankcard-a card that’s oftenpl ai nwhiteand they are off to the bank.To show me how easy it was, two executi vesfrom MagTek Inc, one of the largest markers of credit card stripe gave a demonstrati on. Within minute s , I was withdrawing moneyfrom my accoun t using a plainwhitepieceof plasti c at an ATM. And the key is to get an encode r.Andy and Paul Deignan are brothe rs who both word for MagTek. Both came by to show me how easily thieve s can manufa cture scores of fake codes. MagTek sellsboth card readers, whichare seen in stores across Americ a, and card encode rs, whichvery few people should ever see. Encode rs actual ly writei nformation onto that mysteri ouspieceof magneti c tape on the back of the card. Banksu se them to create credit cards. Readers cost about $100. Encode rs cost betwee n $1500 and $2000 except on eBay, wherestolen encode rs can sell for as little as $500. Armedwith one, someon e can create and debit cardsthat work exactl y like the cardsproduces by financi al instit ution s.For demonstrati on purposes, the Deigna n brothe rs took my debit card, droppe d it in an encode r, copied the data from the back, and handed the card back to me. Then they took a pieceo f whiteplasti c, a second card, instea d that into the encode r, and essenti ally pasted my ATM inform ation onto the second card. The proces s took less than 15 second s.The walk to the nearest cash machin e took longer. Within a minute, I had taken a whitepieceof plasti c and withdrawn $100 from my own checki ng accoun t. Obviou sly, with slightl y different data and a PIN number, I couldhave takenthe moneyfrom someon e else’s accoun t. With a databa se of stolen information, I couldhave withdrawn moneyfrom hundre d s of accoun ts.74. What does “ white card” fraudrefer to?A.

From the changing expressions on speakers’ faces and the tones of their voices, they can tell____42___from truths.Doctors studying the human brain have given a number of examples of this___43____power of aphasics.

The aphasics knew that the president did not mean a word of what he was saying. He was lying!III. Reading comprehension(35%)Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage, there are four words marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Too much eye contact is instinctively(本能地) felt to be rude, and in a business context, it may also be regarded as a deliberate(故意的) intention to make “the other” feel at a disadvantage. So unless you have in mind doing one of those things, it’s better to___51____too much eye contact.Too little, ___52____, can make you appear uneasy, unprepared, and insincere. In its analysis of patients’___53_____, for example, one large county hospital found, that 9-out-of-10 letters included mention of poor doctor-patient eye contact, a failure which was generally interpreted as “____54___ofcaring.”“Just the right” amount of eye contact—the amount that produces a feeling of mutual _____55___and trustworthiness—will vary with situations, settings, personality types, gender and cultural differences. As a general rule, though, direct eye contact ranging from 30% to 60% of the time during a conversation—more when you are listening, less when you are____56_____—should make for a comfortable productive atmosphere.And did you know these other facts about eye contact?●We reduce eye contact when we are talking about something shameful or __57_____, when we are sador depressed, and when we are accessing internal thoughts or emotions.●We increase eye contact when dealing with people we like,__58___, or who have power over us. Inmore intense or private conversations we naturally look at each other more often and hold that gaze for_____59___periods of time. In fact, we____60__relationships by the amount of eye contact exchanged: the greater the eye contact, the closer the relationship.●We avoid eye contact in elevators, subways, crowded buses or trains---in elevators we face the door, inthe others we stare at our Smartphones—because it helps us____61____the insecurity of having our personal space invaded.●The biggest body language myth(错误观念) about liars is that they avoid eye contact. While someliars (most often, children) find it difficult to lie while looking____62___at you, many liars actually try to “prove” that they are not lying by making too much eye contact and holding it too long.Eye contact is so powerful a force because it is connected with human s’earliest__63__patterns. Children who could attract and maintain eye contact, and therefore increase____64___, had the best chance of being fed and cared for. Today, newborns instinctively lock eyes with their caregivers, and the power of that infantile eye contact still has its impact on the adult mind. Whether it’s shifty-eyed guilt or wide-eyed innocence, we __65____assign enormous trust to the signals we give and get when we look into each other in the eyes.51.

At this time, many colorful stamps are published to mark the great games. The first stamp marking the opening of the White Olympics was issued(发行) on January 25,1932 in the United States to celebrate the third White Olympics. From then on, issuing stamps during the White Olympics became a tradition.To observe the fourth Winter Olympic Games, a group of stamps were published in Germany in November, 1935.

As a result, they are employed in doing jobs that afford them little or no satisfaction. Our school leaves face so much competition that they seldom care what they do as long as they can earn a living. Some stay long at a job and learn to like it; others leave one for another looking for something to suit them. The young graduates who leave the university look for jobs that offer a salary up to their expectation.Very few go out into the world knowing exactly what they want and realizing their own abilities. The reason behind all this confusion is that there never has been a proper vocational(职业的) guidance in our educational institution. Nearly all feel their way in the dark. Their chief concern when they look for a job is to ask what salary is like. They never bother to think whether they are suited for the job or, even more important, whether the job suits them. Having a job is more than merely providing yourself and your dependants(受赡养者) with daily bread and some money for leisure and entertainment. It sets a pattern of life and, in many ways, determines social status in life, selection of friends, leisure and interest.In choosing a profession you should first consider the type of work which will suit your interest. Nothing is more pathetic than taking on a job in which you have no interest, for it will not only ruin your talents but also discourage your desire to succeed in life.72.The difficulty in choosing a suitable job lies mainly in that_________.A.certain fierce competition has to be facedB.many employees have no working experienceC.the young people only care about how much they can earnD.schools fail to offer students appropriate vocational guidance73.The reason why some people are unlikely to succeed in life is that they________.A.have ruined their talentsB.have taken on an unsuitable jobC.think of nothing but their salaryD.are not aware of their own potential74.The word “pathetic” in the passage most probably means_________.A. unsatisfactoryB. miserableC. annoyingD. astonishing75.
