This income is used to pay regular and day-to-day expenses such as rent, food, movies, gasoline, newspapers, haircuts, and so on. But sup-pose a person is faced with an unexpected expense too big to be paid out of current income, it may be an illness or costly household repairs. In Frank and Sandy Dexter’s case, the roof on their house had to be replaced. They did not have enough savings to cover the cost, so they borrowed the money needed. They then repaid the loan with small and regular payment out of their future income. By using credit, they avoided what might have been a serious hardship. Credit also enables consumers to buy goods and services when they need them most. For example, when does a married couple most need a house? While their children are young and living at home. It would take most couples many years to save enough money to pay cash for a house. By then, their children would be grown, and the house would not be needed so much. In the meanwhile, they would have to continue paying rent out of current income. By using credit, a couple can buy a house and live n it while they pay for it. The money they would otherwise spend for rent could go to the payment. What is true of houses is true of many goods that consumers buy today, such as appliances, automobiles, and furniture. By using credit, consumers can “buy now and pay later” as the ads say. They have the use of the goods while paying for them. Today many high school graduates are using credit to pay for additional education. They will pay off their loan with money earned in the future from full-time jobs.20．By using credit, people can______.A．pay regular and day-to-day expensesB．avoid unnecessary paymentC．save money to cover future costD．pay an unexpected expense too big to be paid at the moment正确答案：D21．A married couple most needs a house______.A．after they have spent years saving enough money to buy it in cashB．when their children have grown upC．when their children are still young and living at homeD．when they can rent it out of current income正确答案：C22．“The money they would otherwise spend for rent could go to the payment”means______.A．they would rent the houseB．they had bought the houseC．they wouldn’t pay for the houseD．they could buy the house otherwise正确答案：D23．With regard to credit, what do houses have in common with goods that consumers buy today?A．Both can be bought on credit.B．Neither can be used until the loan has been paid.C．Both must be paid as soon as they are bought.D．Both should be paid in cash.正确答案：A24．What’s true of high school graduates today?A．They can’t get additional education without money.B．They can get additional education without payment.C．They can have additional education when they have full-time jobsD．They can have additional education now and pay for it later.正确答案：DFriends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take the fact of friendship for granted, we often don’t clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few —for example, the average among students is about 6 per person. Moreover, a great many relationships come under the general term “friendship.” In all cases, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of closeness between them and the reasons for their interest in each other vary greatly. At the beginning, much depends on how people meet, and on good first impressions. As we get to know people, we consider things like age, race, looks, economic and social status, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of the greatest importance, it is more difficult to have a good relationship with people when there is a big difference in age and background. We pay attention to actual behavior, facial expression, and the way a person speaks. Friends will stand closer together and will spend more time looking at each other than ordinary acquaintances.Smiles and soft voices also express friendliness, and it is because they may give the wrong signals that shy people often have difficulty in making friends. A friendly look with the wrong facial expression can turn into an unfriendly stare, and nervousness may be wrongly understood as unfriendliness. People who do not look one in the eye are not trusted when, in fact, they simply do not have confidence. Some relationships are a result of argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have the same ideas and beliefs, the same opinions and interests —they often talk about “being on the same wavelength.”The more closely involved people become, the more they depend on one another. People want to do friends favors and hate to let them down. Equally, friends have to learn to make allowances for each other, to put up with annoying habits, and to accept differences in opinion. Imagine going on a long trip with someone you occasionally meet for a drink! In contrast with marriage, there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the relationship between two people. But the mutual support and understanding that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to create a close and lasting relationship, which can overcome differences in background, and break down barriers of age, class or race.25．Which of the following factors are very important in developing friendships?A．Age and background.B．Economic and social positions.C．Race and looks.D．Same interests and behavior.正确答案：A26．The passage tells us that sometimes a face with the wrong expression could be mistaken as a sign of______.A．nervousnessB．confidenceC．unfriendlinessD．distrust正确答案：C27．When people talk about “being on the same wavelength,”they mean that______.A．they watch the same TV programsB．they are the same in all respectsC．they listen to the same radio programsD．they understand and agree with each other28．We learn from the passage that______.A．friendship can overcome differences in experienceB．there are no special ceremonies to strengthen friendshipC．putting up with differences in opinion can lead to friendshipD．friendship can be strengthened by smiles and soft voices正确答案：BTHYSSEN ELEV ATORS is one of the leading elevators companies in the world with more than 120 branch companies around the globe.

All the major countries of the world have computers, and the developing countries have also realized that computers play a big part in their economic development. Usually what one sees is a machine that looks like a typewriter; it is called a computer terminal. But computers are also used in unseen ways. For example, they determine how much time there should be between traffic signals to prevent traffic problems and to keep millions of cars moving in an orderly flow. When you buy a car, a factory process that is controlled by a computer enables you to obtain a car with your own choice of colors and special features in just a few weeks’ time. In medical laboratories, computers have reduced the mistakes in testing, and they have saved doctors’countless hours of work. Before long, medical histories of all Americans will be kept in computer “bands”. If a person becomes ill far from his home, local doctors will be able to get his medical record immediately. In science, the computer has performed in minutes experiments which would have required thousands of hours of work by human hands and minds. Most experts agree that computers are necessary to solve the problems of increasing population, city living, and public affairs. Without computers, the jobs of solving these problems would require millions of workers to do tons of paperwork. Before any computer can work on any problem, it must be told what to do. Someone must program the computer, step-by-step. At first this was done by having the programmer write out his instructions in the form of numbers which would be “understood”by the machine. Within a short time, attempts were made to perform a system that would enable humans to communicate more easily with machines. Different “languages”were developed by means of which the programmer could use words that had meanings for them, and another program in the machine would translate the words into thecomputer’s number system. Without special training, it is impossible to understand exactly how a computer does its work. However, many people without scientific training use computers in their daily lives. In some American schools, for example, young children are being taught by computers for part of the school day. The use of computers in school has worried some Americans. There are those who fear it will remove human element from teacher-student relationships. On the other hand, there are educators who consider computer program a valuable means of freeing teachers from the more boring and tiring tasks, thus enabling them to spend more time with a single student. In education, as in business and industry, science and medicine, computers play an important part in almost every type of operation. The future will bring major advances in computer technology, which will aid man in his efforts to improve the world.32．The author has written the passage mainly for______.A．young childrenB．experienced operatorsC．common readersD．scientists in the computer field正确答案：C33．Operators of computers should give instructions to work in the form of program______.A．which are introduced to turn into computersB．through which computers could process “language”C．which could tell computers what to do and how to do itD．all of the above正确答案：C34．The arguments for computer program used in education were that______.A．computers like toys would attract much attention of school childrenB．there are lots of buttons you can press for doing anything at your willC．computer program would take the place of teachers, turning a school into a computer worldD．computers could give teachers the opportunity to spare time to deal with students respectively正确答案：C35．Which of the following best expresses the main idea of this passage?A．The world will enjoy the beautiful picture of the computers.B．Computer technology will change the human life.C．Computer would work freely in the future.D．Computer would work with a great memory-storage and at highest speed.正确答案：BClozeThe Open University was created in 1969 to provide university education for anyone aged 21 or over who wanted it,【36】his or her educational background.

My dad chose a 16-milesection of the road for us to ride. Part of it included an old tunnel (隧道) called West Hill. This old tunnel is over a mile long!To prepare, we checked our tires (轮胎) and bike lights. My mom made us some food. She also gave us fruit and plenty of water. In the morning, we put our bikes into the car and set off.After a two-hour drive, we reached the road. It was a cool afternoon in early fall. But we were both wet and tired because our trip started with a long uphill climb! As we reached the West Hill Tunnel, I felt nervous as it was very dark inside! But my dad encouraged me. He said he would be right beside me. He reminded me to stay careful and keep my light on!When we entered the tunnel, the sound of our bikes echoed through the darkness. I turned on my flashlight and saw walls covered by drawings. The air smelled like wet mud (泥). And I feltlike I was being watched! I was pretty scared, but paying attention to following my dad helped me relax. After riding half-way through, I could see light coming from the other end of the tunnel. That gave me courage to keep going. And I was so happy to ride out into the bright afternoon!Whenever I go through hardships in life, I remember this trip. It reminds me that hope is always ahead of me. It turns on the light of hope in my heart, and it gives me courage to keep riding through life's dark tunnels.19．How did the writer and his father go through the tunnel?A．On foot.B．By bike.C．By bus.D．By car.20．Why did the writer feel nervous when he reached the tunnel?A．Because the tunnel was too long.B．Because the tunnel was too dark.C．The drawing on the walls in the tunnel.D．The light from the other end of the tunnel.21．What gave the writer courage to keep going in the tunnel?A．The sound of their bikes in the tunnel.B．The smell of the wet mud in the tunnel.C．The drawing on the walls in the tunnel.D．The light from the other end of the tunnel.22．Which is the right order about the changes of the writer's feelings?a. Nervous.b. Happy.c. Scaredd. Tired.A．d-a-c-b B．c-b-a-d C．b-c-d-a D．a-d-b-c阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项Getting less sleep has become a bad habit for most American kids. According to a new survey by the National Sleep Foundation, 51% of kids aged 10 to 18 go to bed at 10 p. m. or later on school nights, even though they have to get up early. Last year the Foundation reported that nearly60% of 7- to 12-year-olds said they felt tired during the day, and 15% said they had fallen asleep at school.How much sleep you need depends a lot on your age. Babies need a lot of rest: most of them sleep about 18 hours a day! Adults need about eight hours. For most school-age children, ten hours is needed. But the new National Sleep Foundation survey found that 35% of 10- tol2-year-olds get only seven or eight hours. And guess what almost half of the surveyed kids said they do before bedtime? Watch TV."More children are going to bed with TVs on, and there are more chances to stay awake, with more homework, the Internet and the phone," says Dr Mary Carskadon, a sleep researcher at Brown University Medical School. She says these activities at bedtime can get kids all excited and make it hard for them to calm down and sleep. Other experts say part of the problem is chemical. Changing levels of body chemicals called hormones (荷尔蒙) not only make teenagers' bodies develop adult characteristics, but also make it hard for teenagers to fall asleep before 11 p. m. Because sleepiness is such a problem for teenagers, some school districts have decided to start high school classes later than they used to. Three years ago, schools in Edina, Minnesota. changed the start time from 7:25 a. m. to 8:30 a. m. Students, parents and teachers are pleased with the result.23．What is the new National Sleep Foundation survey on?A．American kids' sleeping habits.B．Teenagers' sleep-related illnessesC．Activities to stop sleeplessness.D．Ways to solve sleeping problems.24．How many hours of sleep do 1l-year-olds need every day?A．7 hours.B．8 hours.C．10 hours.D．18 hours.25．Why do teenagers go to sleep late according to Carskadon?A．Because they are influenced by certain body chemicals.B．Because they are excited by some bedtime activities.C．Because they are forced to do a lot of homework.D．Because they are allowed to go to school late.26．Where can we probably read this passage?A．In a news report.B．In a science fiction.C．In a fashion weekly.D．In a health magazine.阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中选出最佳选项①What does love mean to you? Is it that special feeling in your heart when you see someone you like? Is it the heartbeat you get when you hold hands? Love seems to be everywhere, and at some museums around the world, love is in the air all year round.②The Palazzo Filomela in Venice is better known as the Museum of Love. This museum was once the private home of a famous 16th-century singer. On the walls, you can see paintings of famous lovers, such as the god Cupid and his love, Psyche.③For many, love and chocolate go hand in hand, so a visit to the Chocolate Museum in Cologe, Germany, makes sense. There, visitors can learn about the history of Chocolate and watch chocolate bars being made. The museum also gives out chocolate cakes from a three-meter-high chocolate fountain (喷泉).④Love isn't always sunshine and rainbows. Sometimes things can go wrong, and Museum of Broken Relationships in Croatia is built to this. It has a collection of objects that people gave away from their failed relationships, and each one has a story that goes along with it. Visitors will see letters, photographs, dolls, and clothing from broken hearts all over the world.⑤On the brighter side, the Diamond Museum Amsterdam in Holland is the place to go when you're ready to take your love to the next level.

For example, you do not say to someone easily that you do not like him or her, (42) through body language you can (43) them clearly. So the spoken language is limited, (44) is why we need the (45) language so much in our communication. Spoken language and body language go mostly (46) . When someone says something, information is (47) through body language at the same time. This extra non-verbal information can (48) the content of the message or may contradict it. An example of the (49): a patient in the dentist’s waiting room is rocking on his (50), but says he’s not nervous. What do you (51)? When someone contradicts his words like this (52) his body language, his non-verbal message is almost always (53) as the most true because it is very difficult (54) through body language. Most people are not very aware (55) their body language. When someone is lying, we get the feeling (56) something is not right through his (57) . (58) the most part we are inclined to rely (59) this feeling and not to believe him. So (60) language has a larger reliability value.41. A. sign B. language C. gesture D. symbol42.

For each of them there are 4 choices marked A,B,C and D. You should decide on the best choice, and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage 1According to airline industry statistics, almost 90% of airline accidents are not survivable or partially survivable. But passengers can increase their chances of survival by learning and following certain tips. Experts say that you should read and listen to safety instructions before takeoff and ask question if you have uncertainties. You should fasten your seat belt low on your hips and as possible. Of course, you should also know how the release mechanism of your belt operates. During takeoffs and landings you are advised to keep your feet flat on the floor. Before takeoff you should locate the nearest exit and an alternative exit and count the rows of seats between you and the exits so that you can find them in the dark if necessary.In the event that you are forewarned of a possible accident, you should put your hands on your ankles and keep your head down until the plane comes to a complete stop. If smoke is present in the cabin, you should keep your head low and cover your face with napkins, towels, or clothing. If possible, wet these for added protection against smoke inhalation. To evacuate as quickly as possible, follow crew commands and do not take personal belongings with you. Do not jump on escape slides before they are fully inflated, and when you jump, do so with your arms and legs extended in front of you. When you get to the ground, you should move away from the plane as quickly as possible, and never smoke near the wreckage.61. According to the experts, when should travelers read and listen to safety instructions?A. Before takeoff.B. In an emergency.C. Throughout the flight.D. During landings.62. Which exits suggested in the passage should an airline passenger locate before takeoff?A. The ones that can be found in the dark.B. The two closest to the passenger’s seat.C. The ones at the back of the plane.D. The nearest one.63. Judging from the passage, people have more chances to survive fires in aircraft if they ______.A. fasten their seat belt tightlyB. read airline safety statistics before takeoffC. keep their feet flat on the floorD. keep their heads low64. Airline passengers are specifically told NOT to ______.A. ask question about safety during the flightB. jump in any circumstancesC. carry personal belongings in an emergencyD. locate the nearest exit65. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To please travelers.B. To give the information of airline industry statistics.C. To guide people to survive fires.D. To provide safety advice.Passage 2Most people have had a dog or wanted one as their companion at some time in their lives. If you are thinking of buying a dog, however, you should first decide what sort of companion you need and whether the dog is likely to be happy in the surroundings you can provide. Specialists’ advice is useful to help you choose the most suitable kind of dog. But in part the decision depends on common sense. Different dogs were originally developed to perform specific tasks. So, if you want a dog to protect you or your house, for example, you should choose the one that has the right size and characteristics. You must also be ready to devote a great deal of time to training the dog when it is young and give it the exercise it needs throughout its life, unless you live in the countryside and can let it run freely. Dogs are demanding pets. Cats love the house and so are satisfactory with their place where there is secure, but a dog is loyal to its master and consequently wants him to show proof of his affection.The best time to buy a baby dog is when it is between 6 and 8 weeks old so that it can transfer its love from its mother to its master. If baby dogs have not established a relationship with the human being until they are over three months old, their strong relationship will always be with dogs. They are likely to be too shy when they are brought out into the world to become good pets.66. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. You can always get help from the specialists.B. It is common sense that is the most important when choosing a dog.C. You should decide what kind of dog you want.D. Size and characteristics of the dogs should be considered too.67. What is mentioned as a consideration in buying a dog?A. The color of the dog.B. The price of the dog.C. Whether the dog will fit the environment.D. Whether the dog will get along with the other pets in the house.68. Why does the writer say a dog is a more demanding pet than a cat?A. It must be trained so that it won’t bite.B. It demands more food and space.C. It needs more love and care.D. It must be looked after carefully.69. Why is it advised to buy a baby dog under three months old?A. It’s easier to buy a baby dog under three months old.B. They are less likely to be shy with human beings.C. They are less likely to run away.D. It’s easier for them to form a relationship with their masters.70. The word “affection” means ______.A. loveB. effectC. tieD. relationshipPassage 3In the modern technological world the sea offers many resources to help mankind survive. Resources on land are beginning to grow less. The sea, however, still offers hope to supply many of man’s needs.The riches of the sea yet to be developed by man’s technology are impressive. Oil and gas explorations have existed for nearly thirty years. Valuable amounts of minerals such as iron, nickel and copper exist on the ocean floor, ready to be mined.Fish farming promises to be a good way to produce large quantities of food. The culture of fish and shellfish is an ancient skill practiced in the past mainly by oriental peoples.Besides oil and gas, the sea may offer new sources of energy. Experts believe that the warm temperature of the ocean can be used in a way similar to the steam in a steamship. Ocean currents and waves offer possible use as a source of energy such as hydro-electric power.Technology is enabling man to explore ever deeper under the sea. The new undersea technology is providing divers with diving suits and undersea chambers that are kept at sea level pressure. The development of strong, new materials has made this possible.The technology to harvest the sea continues to improve. By the year 2000, experts believe that the problems to exploit the food, minerals, and energy sources of the sea will be largely solved.71. What is the best title for the passage?A. Needs of ManB. Sources of EnergyC. Sea HarvestD. Sea Exploring Technology72. According to the author, technology for exploring the sea is important because ______.A. man cannot travel farther into spaceB. resources on land are running shortC. it’s a lot of fun diving into the seaD. ancient people used to explore the sea73. Why does the author mention a steamship?A. To indicate that it is warmer in the ocean than on land.B. To show that a steamship is better than other kinds of ship.C. To argue that man should use steamships more than other means oftransportation.D. To illustrate that man can make use of sources of energy from the sea.74. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.A. man hasn’t completely cultivated the riches of the seaB. technology for exploring the sea has been foundC. planting rice in the sea will be made possible in a short timeD. in the near future man can live on the ocean floor75. The word “exploit” in the last paragraph could best be replaced by ______.A. evaluateB. developC. gatherD. scatterPassage 4In everyday usage “hot” means “having a lot of heat”. Many people think that “cold” is something completely separated from heat. But this is not true. Cold simple means “having very little heat”. Your life depends on heat. In fact, every living thing depends on it. Without heat, every living thing would be frozen to death. All living things get their heat from the sun, which provides the conditions in which life is possible.Since before the dawn of history, man has been able to make his own heat. He has been able to release the sun’s heat that is trapped in things such as wood, coal and oil. And he has been able to use this heat.Heat has made civilization possible. With heat, man could melt metals. As man learned to use metals and fuels, industries grew. As a result, engines were invented. These are machines that change heat energy into mechanical energy. Engines can do the work of many men. Without engines industrial civilization is impossible.Yet when the first engines were built in the 17th century, men were still wondering about the nature of heat. “What is it?” they asked. Not until the early years of the 19th century did they find the right answer.76. In everyday usage, “hot” means ______.A. the weather is fine and it is summerB. one has a temperatureC. having a great deal of heatD. very little heat77. Your life depends on heat. The sentence means ______.A. in the cold season human beings will dieB. one usually builds his life on fireC. the more heat one has , the betterD. it is impossible for man to live without heat78. He has been able to release the sun’s heat that is trapped in things such as wood, coal and oil. From this sentence we know ______.A. man can get heat from things like wood, coal and oilB. man can not get the heat directly from the sunC. only wood, coal and oil have heatD. all the sun’s heat is trapped in things79. Which of the following is true?A. Without engines civilization is impossible.B. Without engines we have no industrial civilization.C. Engine came before civilization.D. Engines came before man knew how to use heat.80. From the last two sentences, we can see ______.A. men have never found the nature of heatB. men found the nature of heat in the 17th centuryC. men found the nature of heat in the 19th centuryD. men found the nature of heat before the 19th centuryPart Ⅳ.

One day, a young woman saw her action. She took a photo of it and shared the photo online. The photo got popular at once. People who see the photo think Li Dan is a warm-hearted girl.Mr. Deng, who is also used to eating in the Noodle House, often sees Li Dan help the people in need.

Basically, they believe that anyone can develop their abilities in anything. The opposition of the growth mindset is the fixed mindset. People with the fixed one believe that intelligence and skills are innate—it's something that were born with and there is no room for change.All of us are a mixture of both the growth and fixed mindsets. In some areas of our lives, we work with the growth mindset while in others, the fixed mindset. A lot of researches suggest that people with the growth mindset seem to be more successful than people with the fixed mindset. For example, a study found that students with a growth mindset were three times more likely to score in the top 20% on the test, while students with a fixed minds were four times more likely to score in the bottom 20%. Another study found that 7th graders who took part in a growth mindset program were able to avoid a drop in grades.People with the growth mindset are much more resilient (有韧性的), which allows them to deal with challenging and difficult situations. Because they think about learning first over failure and they are unafraid to take risks. On the other hand, people with the fixed mindset don't want to challenge themselves because to them, failure once means failure always.We know that the brain can keep learning until the day we die. It also seems quite clear that if people want to be successful, they must work hard and keep trying even when they meet difficulties. Now you know why the growth mindset is important. Keep in mind that it takes a lot of efforts to develop a growth mindset and that it'll always be a hard fight to avoid falling into the fixed mindset.11．What does the underlined word "innate" in paragraph 1 mean?A．Changeable.B．Natural.C．Trainable.D．Growing.12．What can we learn from paragraph 2?A．People with mixed mindsets are smarter.B．Growth mindset may help achieve more.C．20% of students could get the top scores.D．The scores of 7th graders stop dropping.13．What would people with the growth mindset see "losing a match" as?A．A learning way.B．A fixed result.C．A useless risk.D．A silly mistake.14．What's the writer's purpose of writing this passage?A．To explain why we have different mindsets.B．To discuss the advantages of mixed mindsets.C．To compare the growth mindset with the fixed one.D．To encourage people to develop the growth mindset.15．Where is the passage probably taken from?A．A science magazine.B．A science fiction.C．A medical book.D．A story book.阅读理解Many farmers prefer to remove natural habitats (栖息地) to keep wild birds, and any bacteria (细菌) they carry, away from their fields and crops. However, a new study published in 2023 shows that farms near natural habitats get the most benefits from birds, including less crop damage and lower food-safety risks.The study showed that the natural habitats played the most important role in deciding whether a farm would get more benefits than harms from wild birds. Without neighboring natural habitats, birds were more likely to carry bacteria and eat fruit. At the same time, different farming actions influenced the benefits and costs that birds brought to the farms.The study was done in 21 strawberry fields in California. Together with the data from more than 300 bird surveys, scientists from the University of California also studied 1,000 fecal samples (排泄样本) from 55 kinds of birds. According to the information above, they found out which birds ate pests, beneficial insects and plants, and carried bacteria. Using this data, the scientists then ranked (排序) wild birds to see which were more likely to bring benefits or harms to farmlands. Barn swallows, for example, got a "gold star" in the study.The lead researcher, Krap said, "A better understanding of the birds' roles in ecosystem can help farmers bring out the best in the wild birds near their fields." Another similar study in 2020 found that farms with natural habitats attracted more insect-eating birds — and fewer fruit-eating birds — so that farmers got less plant damage on farms. "All together, these studies suggest that farms with natural habitats are good for both plants and birds," said Krap.It is important to know how to take advantage of the benefits while reducing the harms. Growers may say it's impossible to keep birds off the farms. So how can we make full use of the services birds provide?16．What is the finding of the study in 2023?A．Wild birds in farms increase food-safety risks.B．Farmers should clear out the natural habitats.C．Birds in natural habitats carry more bacteria to farms.D．Farms near natural habitats benefit most from birds.17．Which is NOT mentioned in Paragraph 3?A．Who did the study.B．When the study ended.C．How the study was done.D．Where the study was done.18．Why is a study in 2020 mentioned in Paragraph 4?A．To describe the difficulties.B．To compare ways of the two studies.C．To support the study in 2023.D．To give background information.19．What influences farms most according to the passage?A．Prices of neighboring farmlands.B．Management of the neighboring land.C．Size of natural habitats near farms.D．Location of natural habitats for birds.20．The study was done mainly to help ____.A．the scientists B．the studentsC．the farmers D．the officers(10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

She was puzzled and somewhat disappointed because she liked the individual otherwise.He had a perfect resume and gave good responses to her questions, but the fact that he never looked her in the eye said “untrustworthy,” so she decided to offer the job to her second choice.“It wasn’t until I attended a diversity workshop that I realized the person we passed over was the perfect person,” Tiffany confesses. What she hadn’t known at the time of the interview was that the candidate’s “different” behavior was simply a cultural misunderstanding . He was an Asian-American raised in a household where respect for those in authority was shown by averting(避开) your eyes.“I was just thrown off by the lack of ye contact; not realizing it was cultural,”Tiffany says. “I missed out ,but will not miss that opportunity again.”Many of us have had similar encounters with behaviors we perceive as different. As the world becomes smaller and our workplaces more diverse, it is becoming essential to expand our under-standing of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions .Hire AdvantageAt a time when hiring qualified people is becoming more difficult ,employers who can eliminate invalid biases(偏爱) from the process have a distinct advantage .My company, Mindsets LLC ,helps organizations and individuals see their own blind spots . A real estate recruiter we worked with illustrates the positive difference such training can make .“During my Mindsets coaching session ,I was taught how to recruit a diversified workforce. I recruited people from different cultures and skill sets .The agents were able to utilize their full potential and experiences to build up the company .When the real estate market began to change, it was because we had a diverse agent pool that we were able to stay in the real estate market much longer than others in the same profession.”Blinded by GenderDale is an account executive who attended one of my workshops on supervising a diverse workforce . “Through one of the sessions ,I discovered my personal bias ,” he recalls . “I learned I had not been looking at a person as a whole person , and being open to differences .” In his case , the blindness was not about culture but rather gender .“I had a management position open in my department ;and the two finalists were a man and a woman . Had I not attended this workshop , I would have automatically assumed the man was the best candidate because the position required quite a bit of extensive travel . My reasoning would have been that even though both candidates were great and could have been successful in the position , I assumed the woman would have wanted to be home with her children and not travel .”Dale’s assumptions are another example of the well-intentioned but incorrect thinking that limits an organization’s ability to tap into the full potential of a diverse workforce .“I learned from the class that instead of imposing my gender biases into the situation , I needed to present the full range of duties, responsibilities and expectations to all candidates and allow them to make an informed decision .” Dale credits the workshop , “because it helped me make decisions based on fairness .”Year of the Know-It-AllDoug is another supervisor who attended one of my workshops .He recalls a major lesson learned from his own employee.“One of my most embarrassing moments was when I had a Chinese-American employee put in a request to take time off to celebrate Chinese New Year . In my ignorance , I assumed he had his dates wrong , as the first of January had just passed .When I advised him of this , I gave him a long talking-to about turning in requests early with the proper dates .“He patiently waited , then when I was done , he said he would like Chinese New Year did not begin January first , and that Chinese New Year ,which is tied to the lunar cycle ,is one of the most celebrated holidays on the Chinese calendar . Needless to say , I felt very embarrassed in assuming he had his dates mixed up . But I learned a great deal about assumptions , and that the timing of holidays varies considerably from culture to culture .“Attending the diversity workshop helped me realize how much I could learn by simply asking questions and creating dialogues with my employees , rather than making assumptions and trying to be a know-it-all ,” Doug admits . “The biggest thing I took away from the workshop is learning how to be more ‘inclusive’ to differences.”A better Bottom LineAn open mind about diversity not only improves organizations internally , it is profitable as well . These comments from a customer service representative show how an inclusive attitude can improve sales .”Most of my customers speak English as a second language . One of the best things my company has done is to contract with a language service that offers translations over the phone . It wasn’t until my boss received Mindsets’ training that she was able to understand how important inclusiveness was to customer service . As result , our customer base has increased .”Once we start to see people as individuals . and discard the stereotypes , we can move positively toward inclusiveness for everyone . Diversity is about coming together and taking advantage of our differences and similarities . It is about building better communities and organizations that enhance us as individuals and reinforce our shared humanity .When we begin to question our assumptions and challenge what we think we have learned from our past , from the media, peers , family , friends , etc , we begin to realize that some of our conclusions are flawed(有缺陷的) or contrary to our fundamental values . We need to train our-selves to think differently , shift our mindsets and realize that diversity opens doors for all of us ,creating opportunities in organizations and communities that benefit everyone .1.What bothered Tiffany during an interview with her candidate?A)He just wouldn’t look her in the eye.B)He was slow in answering her questions.C)His answers to some of her questions were irrelevant.D)His answers to some of her questions were irrelevant .2.

They never write, unless assignments 47 it . They fine the writing process 48 and difficult.How awful to be able to speak in a language but not to write in it- 49 English , with its rich vocabulary . Being able to speak but not write is like living in an 50 mansion(豪宅) and never leaving one small room . When I meet students who think they can’t write, I know as a teacher my 51 is to show them the rest of the rooms . My task is to build fluency while providing the opportunity inherent in any writing activity to 52 the moral and emotional development of my students . One great way to do this is by having students write in a journal in class every day.Writing ability is like strength training. Writing needs to be done 53 , just like exercise ; just as muscles grow stronger with exercise , writing skills improve quickly with writing practice. I often see a rise in student confidence and 54 after only a few weeks of journal writing .Expressing oneself in writing is one of the most important skills I teach to strengthen the whole student. When my students practice journal writing, they are practicing for their future academic, political, and 55 lives . They build skills so that some day they might write a great novel, a piece of sorely needed legislation, or the perfect love letter. Every day that they write in their journals puts them a step 56 to fluency , eloquence (雄辩), and command of language .A)closer I) painfulB)daily J) performanceC)emotional K) professionD)enhance L) remarkablyE)enormous M) requireF)especially N) sensitiveG)hinder O) urgeH)missionSection BDirections:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are fourchoices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choiceand mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single linethrough the centre.Passage OneQuestions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.The January fashion show, called FutureFashion , exemplified how far green design has come. Organized by the New York-based nonprofit Earth Pledge, the show inspired many top designers to work with sustainable fabrics for the first time. Several have since made pledges to include organic fabrics in their lines.The designers who undertake green fashion still face many challenges. Scott Hahn, cofounder with Gregory of Rogan and Loomstate, which uses all-organic cotton, says high-quality sustainable materials can still be tough to fine . “Most designers with existing labels are finding there aren’t comparable fabrics that can just replace what you’re doing and shat your customers are used to,” he says. For example, organic cotton and non-organic cotton are virtually indistinguishable once woven into a dress. But some popular synthetics, like stretch nylon, still have few eco-friendly equivalents.Those who do make the switch are finding they have more support. Last year the influential trade show Designers & Agents stopped charging its participation fee for young green entrepreneurs(企业家) who attend its two springtime shows in Los Angeles and New York and gave special recognition to designers whose collections are at least 25% sustainable . It now counts more than 50 green designers, up from fewer than a dozen two years ago. This week Wal-Mart is set to announce a major initiative aimed at helping cotton farmers go organic: it will buy transitional(过渡型的) cottonat higher prices , thus helping to expand the supply of a key sustainable material . “Mainstream is about to occur,” says Hahn.Some analysts(分析师) are less sure . Among consumers, only 18%are even aware that ecofashion exists, up from 6% four years ago. Natalie Hormilla, a fashion writer, is an example of the unconverted consumer, when asked if she owned any sustainable clothes, she replied: “Not that I’m aware of.” Like most consumers, she finds little time to shop, and when she does, she’s on the hunt for “cute stuff that isn’ttoo expensive.” By her own admission, green just isn’t yet on her mind. But –thanks tothe combined efforts of designers, retailers and suppliers –one day it will be.57. What is said about FutureFashion?A) It inspired many leading designers to start going green.B) It showed that designers using organic fabrics would go far.C) It served as an example of how fashion shows should be organized.D) It convinced the public that fashionable clothes should be made durable.58. According to Scott Hahn, one big challenge to designers who will go organic is that.A) much more time is needed to finish a dress using sustainable materials .B) they have to create new brands for clothes made of organic materials .C) customers have difficulty telling organic from non-organic materials .D) quality organic replacements for synthetics are not readily available .59. We learn from Paragraph 3 that designers who undertake green fashion .A) can attend various trade shows free .B) are readily recognized by the fashion worldC) can buy organic cotton at favorable prices .D) are gaining more and more support .60. What is Natalie Hormilla’s attitude toward ecofashion?A) She doesn’t seem to care about it. C) She is doubtful of its practical value.B) She doesn’t think it is sustainable D) She is very much opposed to the idea61. What does the author think of green fashion?A) Green products will soon go mainstream.B) It has a very promising future.C) Consumers have the final say.D) It will appeal more to young people.Passage TwoQuestions 62 to 66 are based on the following passage.Scientists have devised a way to determine roughly where a person has lived using a strand(缕) of hair , a technique that could help track the movements of criminal suspects or unidentified murder victims .The method relies on measuring how chemical variations in drinking water show up in people’s hair.“You’re what you eat and drink, and that’s recorded in you hair,” said Thure Cerling, a geologist at the University of Utah.While U.S diet is relatively identical, water supplies vary. The differences result from weather patterns. The chemical composition of rainfall changes slightly as raid clouds move.Most hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water are stable , but traces of both elements are also present as heavier isotopes (同位素) . The heaviest raid falls first .As a result, storms that form over the Pacific deliver heavier water to California than to Utah.Similar patterns exist throughout the U.S. By measuring the proportion of heavier hydrogen and oxygen isotopes along a strand of hair, scientists can construct a geographic timeline. Each inch of hair corresponds to about two months.Cerling’s team collected tap water samples from 600 cities and constructed a mop of the regional differences. They checked the accuracy of the map by testing 200 hair samples collected from 65 barber shops.They were able to accurately place the hair samples in broad regions roughly corresponding to the movement of raid systems.“It’s not good for pinpointing (精确定位),” Cerling said . “It’s good for eliminating many possibilities.”Todd Park, a local detective, said the method has helped him learn more about an unidentified woman whose skeleton was found near Great Salt Lake.The woman was 5 feet tall. Police recovered 26 bones, a T-shirt and several strands of hair.When Park heard about the research, he gave the hair samples to the researchers. Chemical testing showed that over the two years before her death, she moved about every two months.She stayed in the Northwest, although the test could not be more specific than somewhere between eastern Oregon and western Wyoming.“It’s still a substantial area,” Park said “But it narrows it way down for me.”62. What is the scientists’ new discovery?A) One’s hair growth has to do with the amount of water they drink.B) A person’s hair may reveal where they have lived.C) Hair analysis accurately identifies criminal suspects.D) The chemical composition of hair varies from person to person.63. What does the author mean by “You’re what you eat and drink” (Line 1, Para.3)?A) Food and drink affect one’s personality development.B) Food and drink preferences vary with individuals.C) Food and drink leave traces in one’s body tissues.D) Food and drink are indispensable to one’s existence.64. What is said about the rainfall in America’s West?A) There is much more rainfall in California than in Utah.B) The water it delivers becomes lighter when it moves inland.C) Its chemical composition is less stable than in other areas.D) It gathers more light isotopes as it moves eastward.65. What did Cerling’s team produce in their research?A) A map showing the regional differences of tap water.B) A collection of hair samples from various barber shops.C) A method to measure the amount of water in human hair.D) A chart illustrating the movement of the rain system.66. What is the practical value of Cerling’s research?A) It helps analyze the quality of water in different regions.B) It helps the police determine where a crime is committed.C) It helps the police narrow down possibilities in detective work.D) It helps identify the drinking habits of the person under investigation.Part V Cloze (15 minutes)Kimiyuki Suda should be a perfect customer for Japan’s car-makers.

At first I got the lighter (打火器) to light the gas before putting oil in the pan. I evened(使相等) the oil out before my dad woke up from the kitchen noise. When he saw me he was very surprised and happy. But I was a bit sad because it ruined (毁坏) part of the surprise and my freedom to do what I wanted to do. Anyway, from then on, he taught me to cook to make sure I didn’t mess up.I wanted to make sunny-side-up(单煮一面的) eggs, which means they are fried on one side only. So I cracked (打碎) one egg at a time into the pan and after a few seconds, I put salt and pepper(胡椒粉) on the eggs. It smelt good but the shape did not look like the bright sun. After the eggs were ready, I heated up(热一下) baked beans(烘豆), some sausages(香肠) and hash browns (煎薯饼), which look like a pancake(薄烤饼) and are made out of potatoes. They made up a typical Aussie breakfast and were ready to serve.My parents were so proud that I could cook. I felt happy that I could make my parents proud.31.

The first great invention was the one that is still very important today---the wheel. This made it easier to carry heavy things and to travel long distance.For hundreds of years after that, there were few inventions that had as much effect as the wheel. Then in the early 1800s the world started to change. There was little unknown land left in the world. People didn’t have to explore much any more. They began to work instead to make life better.In the second half of the 19th century, many great inventions were made. Among themwere the camera, the light and the radio. These all play a big part in our daily life today. The first part of the 20th century saw more great inventions. The helicopter(直升机) in 1909, movies with sound in 1926, the computer in 1928, jet planes(喷气式飞机) in 1930. This was also a time when a new material was first made. Nylon(尼龙) came out in 1935. It changed the kind of clothes people wore.The middle part of the 20th century brought new ways to help people get over diseases. They worked very well. They made people healthier and allowed them to live longer. By the 1960s most people could expect to live to be at least 60.By this time most people in developed countries had a very good life. Of course new inventions continued to be made. But man now had a desire(渴望) to explore again. The earth was known to man but the stars were not. Man began looking for ways to go into space. Russia made the first step. Then United States took a step. Since then other countries, including China and Japan, have made their own steps into space.In 1969 man took his biggest step away from earth. Americans first walked on the moon. This is certainly just a beginning, though. New inventions will some day allow us to do things we have never yet dreamed of.34.

There are some traditions that you can find almost anywhere, anytime, such as sending birthday cards,blowing out the candles(吹熄蜡烛) on a birthday cake and singing the ‘Happy Birthday’ song. Others are only found for certain ages and in certain countries.In China, on a child’s second birthday, f amily members put many things on the floor around the child. According to Chinese tradition, the first thing that the child picks up tells you what job the child will choose later in life.For Japanese children, the third, fifth and seventh birthdays are especially important. At this age, there is a special celebration(庆祝) Shichi-Go-San (seven, five, three in Japanese) when children go to the temple wearing a new kimono (和服). The priest (僧侣) gives them special sweets, and the parents usually organize a party for their friends in their home.In Argentina, Mexico and several other Latin American countries, girls have a special birthday celebration when they reach the age of fifteen. After a special ceremony (仪式), the girls dance a waltz with their father and other boys.Eighteen is the traditional ‘coming of age’---the age when (in many countries) you have the right to vote(选举权),join the army(参军) and (in Britain) drink alcohol(酒) or buy a house.In many English-speaking countries, a twenty-first birthday cake often has a key on top, or the cake itself is sometimes in the shape of a key.

She gives us everything we need in our daily life. She is our Mother Earth.April 22 is Earth Day. The theme of this year is “Green Cities”.A green city is a healthy and pleasant place for people to live, according to the United Nations. A green city can get its energy from regenerative sources like solar (太阳能的) and wind power. Also, it is connected by clean public transportation. Moreover, a green city is made up of facilities (设施) that can save energy and reduce waste.Around the world, many cities and countries have done well to build themselves in a green way. Chicago is well known for its green roof (屋顶) program. These roofs are covered with plants. The plants get a great amount of rainwater. Later, the water evaporates (蒸发) to help make the air cool and clean. So far, there are about 360 green roofs in Chicago, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency.Curitiba, Brazil, has great transportation(运输). It opened the world’s first bus rapid transit (BRT) system in 1974. BRT runs on special lanes. This makes sure that buses are on time even in traffic jams. With the help of BRT, the city has the lowest level of air pollution in Brazil. Today, many other countries have copied BRT, including China and Mexico.Singapore is home to the first zero-energy building in Southeast Asia. Zero energy means a building is able to create more energy than it uses. Zero-energy buildings work with solar panels (板) mainly on roofs. These panels can make electricity which powers the buildings. By 2030, Singapore plans to build 80 percent of its buildings like this.42. The theme of Earth Day this year is “”.A. Green RoofsB.
