Getting a bank loan, particularly for a new small business, is like going through the eye of a needle.Banks favor established business people with a solid credit rating and a large bank account. They should also have experience in the business they propose to enter, and offer well-prepared business plans that show the ability to repay the loans. If you are not such a person, then you need to double your preparations to convince the banker to lend you that much needed start-up capital. If your business is new and small, bankers will need to know as much as possible about you and your business.However, many small business owners often make the mistake of not being well prepared when going to the bank to apply for the loan. Surprisingly, many loan applicants don't even have the slightest idea how or when they intend to repay the money they request. Often they don't even know how much money they need. When asked how much moneythey want to borrow, many people give these two common responses: "How much money can I get?" and "As much as possible." Is it any wonder that lenders say no?So the most important thing is do your homework before you ask for a loan.41、 By saying "Getting a bank loan.., is like going through the eye of a needle", the writer emphasizes ______.A. the ability to borrow from a bankB. the importance of borrowing moneyC. the difficulty of getting a bank loanD. the start-up of a new small business42、 Banks prefer to give a loan to those who ______.A. are in need of start-up capitalB. have the ability to pay it backC. own an old and large businessD. haven't borrowed money before43、 What will bankers do before they give a loan to a new and small business?A. Help fill out a special form for getting a loan.B. Request the business to pay a small deposit.C. Get enough information about the business.D. Estimate the size of the loan they will give.44、 Some small businesses fail to get a bank loan because ______.A. the form they fill in is incompleteB. their products are not technically advancedC. the amount of money they want to borrow is too bigD. they have no clear idea of how much they need to borrow45、 The writer advises that before applying for a bank loan, the applicant should ______.A. thoroughly prepareB. do some market researchC. learn a lot about the bankD. know the upper limit of the loanTask 3Directions: Read the following passage.

I thought I should keep the idea a secret until it had been completely developed so no one could steal it. However, I should have talked to businesses and their customers to see if they would use a service like this. At the rime, I thought this idea was brilliant. I outsourced (把…外包) the coding work, and spent $1000 of my own money, to build a product that was far from the one I expected. My money was wasted, and I had found out the hard way that my idea couldn‟t work.From this experience I learned a couple of things, one of which was that outsourcing work is a very risky move that should only be done with care and great attention. The other thing I learned was that sharing your idea with others is much more valuable than keeping it to yourself. By giving others an idea of what you aretrying to do, you will get valuable feedback as well as figure out whether or not your idea has legs.33．The purpose of the author in writing this passage is to _____.A) emphasize the importance of the urge to start a companyB) explain his idea about creating a business websiteC) share some lessons he learned in starting a businessD) give warnings to the readers against outsourcing34. The author decided to create a website because he believed it would _____.A) provide a convenient service B) lead people to small businessesC) be completely developed D) bring ideas to make his business grow35. The author started creating his business profiling site without _____.A) a unique service for customers B) an intension for investmentC) an investigation into the business D) outsourcing the coding work36. The author felt very much disappointed when _____.A) he talked to businesses and customersB) he finally finished his coding workC) he found his brilliant idea stolenD) he saw he finished product of the website37. If the author has another great idea to start a business, he would first _____.A) try harder to keep the idea a secret B) talk with people for their feedbackC) start it together with other people D) avoid investing with his own money Passage TwoQuestions 38 to 42 are based on the following passage.Beijing is asking its citizens for opinions about the proposed garbage classification rules that it intends to introduce to better manage trash. As the most effective way to reduce harmful gases emitted from trash-burners, classification is a step toward the goal of reducing the total amount of trash.So far, classification of trash has only been practiced in some communities on a trial basis and investigations show that most residents haven‟t developed the awareness or habit of sorting trash into different containers. Some residents ignore the different trash cans and throw bags of mixed waste into the nearest can.How to make residents cooperate in garbage sorting remains the sticking point. Grassroots government, such as district committees and neighborhood committees, must be well organized and take responsibility for helping the public understand why trash classification is important and how it is done.In addition, community workers need to play a much more active role. Community workers need to guide residents so they know what kind of trash to put in which can. They also need to find whether there are residents who disobey the rules and throw away mixed trash.It is perhaps not easy for some residents to develop the new habit of putting different trash into different bags, but they must change. The safe disposal of urban waste will never be realized without trash sorting by residents.That process is a must for the rules to work.38. As the government prepares to introduce rules for garbage classification, citizens of Beijing are asked to _____.A) throw out less garbage B) tell what they think about the rulesC) reduce trash burning D) improve management of trash39. At present, classification of garbage in Beijing _____.A) is regarded as impractical B) is unknown to the residentsC) has met objection from residents D) has begun in some places40. Investigations show that most residents dispose mixed waste without _____.A) habit of putting garbage into trash cans B) practice of using garbage bagsC) awareness of trash classification D) guidance to use different containers41. The word “grassroots” (line 1, paragraph 3) is closest in meaning to _____.A) “directly facing the residents”B) “in relation with grasslands”C) “in the countryside”D) “responsible for environment”42. The biggest challenge for the city to realize safe garbage disposal lies in _____.A) getting the public to cooperateB) reducing the emission of harmful gasesC) finding the residents who ignore the rulesD) organizing district and community committeesPassage ThreeQuestions 43 to 47 are based on the following passage.In the United States, the handshake has become an extremely ambiguous (含糊的) symbol. At one level, it just means “hello”or “goodbye.”But it can also be interpreted as “we‟re in agreement.”And on a still deeper level, it can mean “everything‟s OK between us,” particularly after some conflict has been settled. But sometimes social custom awkwardly calls for shaking hands to signify (表示) the end of a meeting, even though no agreement has been reached or a state of conflict still exists.Then, of course, business types will read all sorts of meaning into the very style of your handshake. Even if you execute it under exactly the right circumstances, it must be firm but not too firm; it must be held for exactly the right amount of time but no longer; it must be accompanied by direct eye contact; and, to be more sincere, you should add your left hand to make a “hand sandwich.” You may also be judged on the angle of your hand and the number and intensity of shakes.And if this kind of confusion isn‟t bad enough, that‟s just the standard, ordinary handshake. Gangs (黑帮团伙) sometimes use special handshakes to signify group membership, and use “secret handshakes” as a kind of password, a symbolic way of saying, “We‟re insiders.”So if someone outside the group incorrectly attempts a handshake, the results can be quite serious. On the other hand, a high five (arguably a variety of handshake) pretty unambiguously expresses satisfaction or congratulations --- but that‟s the exception.43. Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?A) Handshaking is ambiguous because it causes confusion.B) Handshaking is an awkward practice of social custom.C) Handshaking signifies that an agreement has been reached.D) Handshaking may mean differently in different situations.44. In business handshakes, “a hand sandwich” is made when _____.A) you shake for a longer amount of timeB) you want to show you are very sincereC) you make eye contact and shake firmlyD) you use your left hand for shaking45. The number and intensity of shakes would be judged on business occasionsbecause _____.A)they show your personal preferenceB)they convey extra meanings in the handshakeC)they would possibly cause conflictsD)they signify your style of handshakes46. Gangs sometimes use special handshakes to _____.A) keep a gang secret among themselvesB) admit a new member into their groupC) show that they belong to the same groupD) pass a password to all the insiders47. A high five is usually used for _____.A) the end of an argument B) a password among gang membersC) satisfaction or congratulations D) an exceptional occasionPassage FourQuestions 48 to 52 are based on the following passage.According to a recent food survey by the European food Safety Authority (EFSA), most Europeans aren‟t overly concerned about …food scares,‟ or food-related risks.Around 27,000 consumers across the European Union were asked a range of questions relating to the possible risks associated with food and the level of confidence in public authorities on food safety-related issues.When it came to the response to the threat of food scares, UK respondents (应答人) were less worried about all of the perceived food-related risks than their European counterparts (相对应的人或物) but were most concerned about the welfare of farmed animals and the quality and freshness of food. Only 29 percent of UK respondents thought that food could possibly damage their health, as opposed to 48 percent in the rest of the respondents were also less likely to permanently change their eating habits after hearing that a type of food was unsafe from media stories (only seven percent as opposed to 11 percent in the rest of Europe).Asked how they respond to information on food-related matters communicated in the media or on the Internet, about half of the EU respondents said they ignored stories in the media or worried about them but did not change their eating habits.The findings provide an important resource for carrying out further research on the relation between trust in information sources, confidence in public authorities and perception (看法) of food-related risks。

People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 15 000 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a 510 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to "speak" with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees ——anywhere at all!Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktopcomputers. In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but alsolibraries and other resources. State higher education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are testing laptop programs at other universities, too.At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, "Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we''''''''re giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything." (本题分数：10 分。

Buses offer the added advantage of being able to see various areas of Manhattan While you ride. How Much Does the Bus Cost? Fare is $2.25 and can be paid with a MetroCard or coins (no dollar bills, no pennies).A free transfer to another bus or the subway within 2 hours is available if you paid with a MetroCard. If you pay cash you can ask for a transfer, but it is only good for transferring to another bus (not to the subway) within 2 hours.Getting On and Off the Bus You must wait for buses at designated (指定的) bus stops. As you see the bus approaching your stops, you can put your arm out to indicate to the driver that you want to board the bus.Enter the bus through the front doors and pay your fare. Take a seat or move toward the back of the bus to make room for other people boarding the bus. To request a stop: Pull the cord or press the black band near the windows.

Consumers buy furniture pieces only occasionally. However, there are several furniture promotion ideas that can be used to help you reach your target market. One thing you can do is to talk with real estate (房地产) agents to allow you to display your furniture in a new home or open house setting. This is a good way to reach a key target market – new home buyers – who may need new furniture for their future homes. Increasing foot traffic (顾客流量) is also important for a furniture store. To get more people to the store, you can advertise a raffle event (抽奖活动). This event can be promoted in your local media and through direct mail campaigns or front door advertisements to generate more interest.In tough economic times, small business owners often suffer most as a result of slow consumer spending. To fight back against this, you have to make it easier of your customers to buy furniture. If you can, offer in-store financing, or drop the interest rate on your company’s credit terms, Con sider lowering your prices and holding two-for-one events to arouse more consumer interest.41.

1-5 B C A A A 6-10 D B D C C11-13 C A C 14-16 C C B 17-20 D C D CFor Americans, time is money. They say, “You only get so much time in this life: you’d better use it wisely.” The future will not be 21 better than the past or present, 22 unless people use their time for constructive activities. Thus, Americans 23 admire a “well-organized” person, one who has a written list of things to do and a 24 schedule for doing them. The ideal person is punctual and is considerate of other people’s time. They do not 25 waste people’s time with conversation or other activity that has no 26 visible beneficial outcome.The American attitude toward time is not necessarily 27 shared by others, especially non- Europeans. They are more likely to regard time as 28 something that simply there around them not something they can use. One of the more difficult things many students must adjust to in the States is the notion that time must be saved whenever possible and used wisely every day.In this context the fast food industry can be seen as 29 a clear example of American culture product McDonal d’s, KFC, and other fast food establishments are successful in a country where many people want to spend the least amount of time preparing and eating meals. As McDonald’s restaurants spread around the world, they have been viewed as 30 a symbol of American society and culture bringing not just hamburgers but an emphasis on speed, efficiency, and shiny cleanliness.Passage one31.

People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 15 000 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a 510 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to "speak" with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees ——anywhere at all!Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktopcomputers. In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are testing laptop programs at other universities, too.At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, "Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we''''''''re giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything." (本题分数：10 分。

One way is to teach students how to learn more effectively and efficiently.Learning strategies are "Procedures or techniques that learners can use to facilitate a learning task." Instructing students of English in learningstrategies can help them become better learners.In addition, skill in using learning strategies assists students in becoming independent, confident learners.Finally, students become more motivated as they begin to understand the relationship between their use of strategies and success in learning English.Students need to develop an awareness of the learning process and strategies that lead to success.Students whoreflect on their own thinking are more likely to engage in planning how to proceed with a learning task, monitoring their own performance on an ongoing basis, finding solutions to problems encountered, andevaluating themselves upon task completion.These activities may be difficult for students accustomed to having a teacher who solves all their learning problems and is the sole judge of their progress.Teachers need to encourage students to rely more on themselves.Because learning strategies are mental processes with few observable manifestations, teachers need to find ways to make the strategies as concrete aspossible.When students are able to use the strategies their teachers have taught them, and to do so without prompting, then they need to explore new strategies, new applications, and new opportunities for self-regulated learning.(1).Better learning strategies can make language learning more( C ).A.funB.interestingC.efficientD.exciting(2).Students who reflect on their own ( A )will be more successful in learning.A.thinkingB.evaluationC.performanceD.activities(3).Teachers should encourage students to rely more on ( D )A.booksB.notesC.tutorsD.themselves(4).Learning strategies are unobservable mental processes, so teachers should make them ( C )A.simplerB.more familiarC.more concreteD.more applicable(5).Which of the following statements is true? ( C )A.Students learn learning strategies from the teachers only.B.Learning strategies are completely unobservable.C.Students need to explore new learning strategies for themselves.D.Teachers are the sole judges of students’ progress.2.Pop means popular, and a pop singer is supposed to work very hard to become popular.He must either give the public what they already want, or he must find a new way of singing that will attract their attention.Even when he has succeeded, and his records are sold everywhere, he cannot relax.Then he must work harder than ever to remain popular, because there are always younger singers trying to become famous and to steal some of the popularity.The life of a successful pop singer isn’t at all easy.He can only relax when he is alone, because everything he does is watched and reported in the special newspaper, written for the fans.The fans are the most important people in the world for the singer.They buy his records, they go to his concerts, and they make him rich and famous.But they can be very annoying too.Sometimes the fans become so crazy that they do anything to get a souvenir.They steal handkerchiefs, they tear off buttons, and they even cut off pieces of the unfortunate singer’s hair.Many singers have been forced to hide, and some who have not been so lucky as to escape being stripped practically naked by their fans.A pop singer has to spend a lot of money on clothes, because he must always look smart, or, at any rate, different.He must have an expensive car.And most important is that he must always keep smiling for the benefit of his public.(1).A pop singer has to keep working very hard if he wants to ( B ).A.win over the younger singersB.stay popularC.keep up with the publicD.sell more records(2).The life of a successful pop singer is ( C )A.full of troubleB.always relaxedC.far from easyD.with no freedom(3).It may be suggested from the passage that ( B )A.a pop singer is afraid of meeting his fansB.a pop singer owes a lot to his fans for his successC.pop singers are luckier than other singersD.a pop singer makes a lot of money(4).A pop singer has to spend a lot of money ( B )A.for his training toB.to be unusualC.to help the poor gain popularityD.from the public(5).The passage is mainly about ( C )A.how to become a pop singer PopB.singers and their fansC.life of a pop singerD.Worries of a pop singer三、作文题（本大题共60分，共 3 小题，每小题 20 分）1.For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic Work and Leisure in no less than 100 words.You may begin your composition with “People generally believe that a life without leisure is reall y terrible.” Remember to write clearly.Work and LeisurePeople generally believe that life without leisure is really terrible. A personwho works day and night will gradually feel rather tired. As we know, “Too much work without playing makes Jack a dull boy”. Therefore, no matter how busy a person is, he is supposed to find some time to relax himself. Leisure can be said as a good medicine that will help us get rid of anxiety and oppression from work or life. When a person is tired from his work, he can try to get some leisure. For example, listening to some light music, playing cards with friends and going fishing in the countryside. This will surely do good to our future work. So why not enjoy ourselves when we are free?2.Instructions:建议你在30分钟内，根据下面所给的题目和提纲用英语写出一篇不少于80词的短文。
