Most have ten fingers and ten toes, and brains much like ours. In fact, Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution says that monkey and humans share a common ancestor. We enjoy watching them because they often act like us, and we also love to use many expressions about monkeys in almost every language. This is why many monkey expressions are about tricky people or playful acts. Monkeyshine is one of the expressions to show tricks or foolish acts. The meaning is clear if you have ever watched a group of monkeys playfully chasing each other: pulling tails, stealing food, doing tricks. Monkeying around with something means that you do not know what you are doing. When you feel like doing something but have no firm idea of what to do, you are monkeying around. It is just a way to pass the time. Monkey business usually means secret, maybe illegal activities. You may come across a new report that there is monkey business involved in building the new airport, with some officials getting secret payments from builders. Monkey suits are common names for clothes or uniforms soldiers wear. In earlier years in many American cities, you would find men playing musical band organs on the street. Dancing to the music would be the man’s small monkey that was dressed in a tight-fitting, colorful jacket similar to a military uniform. So, people began to call a military uniform a monkey suit. 56. Which of the following is NOT true about the similarities between human and monkey? A. Most monkeys have ten fingers and toes. B. Monkeys have the same brains as humans. C. Monkeysoften act like humans in many ways. D. Monkeys arehumans’closest relatives in species. 57. According to the passage, an idle wander on the street can be described as______.A. monkeyshineB. monkeying aroundC. a monkey suitD. monkey business 58. Monkey suits are commonly used to call military uniforms because they ______. A. are created particularly for soldiers’uniforms. B. are originally designed for American soldiers. C. share typical features with military uniforms. D. make American soldiers look like monkeys. 59. Most monkey expressions are ______. A. used only in western cultures. B. used on some formal occasions. C. about tricks and naughtiness.D. about terrible funny behaviors.B NO PLANS FOR THE HOLIDAYS?

The career placement center referred her to JOBTRAK, an internet site listing 45, ooo positions. Casebeer selected four keywords: Chicago, business, marketing and full-time. Immediately she found 45 jobs meeting her criteria(标准), including one as an assistant to an administrator at the un iversity of Chicago’s business school. Four weeks later she was hired at a starting salary of $ 32,000. “I had no training,”says Casebeer.“but the Internet was extremely easy to use. I’d never have known about this job without it.” Casebeer is one American who clicked her way into a job. Steven Toole is another. Toole came across an employment site named Career-Builder. He had just been promoted to director of marketing for a company and wasn’t looking for a job. But curiously, he decided to “give it a try”. Toole filled out a profile with the key words marketing manager and entered his electronic-mail address. Within a week his computer’s mailbox was filling up with available positions. Two interviews later he jumped to a new job.”The Internet is like hirin g a personal assistant,”says Toole. “Effortlessly you can become aware of opportunities that may promote youcareer.” Most major newspapers and trade publications have online versions of their classified listings, enabling jobseekers to scan for work available across town, in another states or around the world. All 50 states, plus Washington, D. C, and Guam, have their local job banks available online, too. “The Internet is a wonderful place to explore, especially when combined with traditional job-search m ethods,”notes Richard Nelson, author of What Color Is Your parachute? 64.

How to find a job on the Internet B. The Internet, a wonderful job-search medium C. How Casebeer and Toole found their jobs D. Computer and job openings (职位空缺) D It is not unusual at all for teens to answer their parents with one-word answers.“Where are yougoing? ”“Places.”“When will you beback?”“Sometime. ”“Who will you be with? ”“People. ” That means that the days of your children bounding(跳跃着跑) in the front door with the details of their day are over. They are breaking away from you so that they will be able to stand on their own as a young adult. Some parents feel sad about his loss of their children’s closeness. Of course you miss those conversations and friendly talks. Once your children move outafter high school and establish themselves confidently as a young adult, they will come back for easy conversations and even ask for advice. But in order to determine who they are right now, they need to separate from you. Your job, however, is to keep them safe---and that requires knowing where they are and who they are with. Let them know clearly that it’s not because you want to dominate(支配) their life and control them; it’s because it’s a safety issue for family members to keep track of one another. When they are home and sit down to eat a meal, sit down with them. You need to open up to them about your life. Tell them of an interesting incident at the office, let them in on a family gossip(闲谈), discuss a piece of news with them. They are glad that you see them as old enough to be in on a few experiences of your life. By letting a teen in on your life, they just may let you in on theirs. 68. It can be inferred from the passage that______. A. the generation gap is becoming wider and wider B. teens quarrel a lot with their parents C. teens don’t want to live with other family members D. some parents feel distant from their teenage children 69.

What’s the main idea of the last paragraph? A. Parents should understand their children. B. Parents should keep their children safe. C. Parents should open their hearts to their children. D. Parents should give their children enough freedom. 71. What’s the author’s purpos e in writing the passage? A. To give advice. B. To direct teenagers.C. To present findingsD. To comfort parents. E I had an experience once which taught me something about the ways people made a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January,I officiated(主持) at two funerals for two elderly women. Both died a natural death. At the first home, the son of the deceased(已故) woman said, “If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It’s my fault that she died.” At the second home, the son said, “If only I had not insisted her going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride was more than she could take. It is my fault.” When things don’t turn out as we would like them to, we tend to assume that had we done things differently, the story would have had a happier ending. Any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out bad, they believe that the opposite course, for example, keeping mother at home, would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse? There seem to be elements involved in our readiness to feel guilty. The first lies in our belief that the world makes sense---there is a reason for everything that happens. The second is the thought that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood. A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and calls the rest of the world to its tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not completely abandon that childish thought that our wishes cause things to happen. 72. What is true about the two deceased elderly women? A. They both died of old age. B. They died from hard work. C. They were’t accustomed to the change in life.D. They died due to lack of care by family members. 73. People feel guilty for the death of their loved ones because______.A. they cannot find a better way to express their sorrowB. they believe that they are responsible for what has happenedC. they don’t know that natural course of eventsD. they don’t know things often turn out in the opposite direction 74. The underline part “the world makes sense” in Paragraph 3 probably means that____. A. everything in the world is planned in advance B. the world can be understood in different ways C. there’s an explanation for everything in the world D. we have to be wise in order to understand the world ks5u 75. People have believed since early childhood that______. A. everybody is at their command B. life and death is an unsolved mystery C. every story should have a happy ending D. their wishes are the cause of everything that happens第二卷第四部分写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节短文改错（共10小题；每题1分，满分10分）此题要求改正所给短文中的错误，对标有题号的每一行作出判断；如无错误，在该行右边横线上画上一个勾（√）；如有错误（每行只有一个错误），则按下列情况改正；此行多一个词：把多余的词用斜线（�）划掉，在该行右边横线上写出该词，并也用斜线划掉。
