A person who is down-to-earth is easy to talk 2 and accepts other people as equals. A down-to-earth person is just the 3 of someone who acts important or proud.Down-to-earth persons may be 4 members of society, of course. But they do not let their importance " 5 to their heads". They do not consider themselves to be better persons than 6 of less importance. Someone who is filled with his own importance and pride, 7 without cause, is said to have "his nose in the air". There is 8 way a person with his nose in the air can be down-to-earth.Americans 9 another expression that means almost the same as "down-to-earth". The expression is "both-feet-on-the-ground".

Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.When it comes to the slowing economy, Ellen Spero isn"t biting her nails just yet. But the 47-year-old manicurist isn"t cutting, tilling or polishing as many nails as she"d like to, either. Most of her clients spend $12 to $ 50 weekly, but last month two longtime customers suddenly stopped showing up. Spero blames the softening economy. "I"m a good economic indicator, " she says, "I provide a service that people can do without when they"re concerned about saving some dollars. " So Spero is downscaling, shopping at middle-brow Dillard"s department store near her suburban Cleveland home, instead of Neiman Marcus. "I don"t know if other clients are going to abandon me, too. " she says.Even before Alan Greenspan"s admission that America"s red-hot economy is cooling, lots of working folks had already seen signs of the slowdown themselves. From car dealerships to gap outlets, sales have been lagging for months as shoppers temper their spending. For retailers, who last year took in 24 percent of their revenue between Thanksgiving and Christmas, the cautiousapproach is coming at a crucial time. Already, experts say, holiday sales are off 7 percent from last year"s pace. But don"t sound any alarms just yet. Consumers seem only concerned, not panicked, and many say they remain optimistic about the economy"s long-term prospects, even as they do some modest belt-tightening.Consumers say they"re not in despair because, despite the dreadful headlines, their own fortunes still feel pretty good. In Manhattan, "there"s a new gold rush happening in the $ 4 million to $ 10 million range, predominantly fed by Wall Street bonuses, " says broker Barbara Corcoran. In San Francisco, prices are still rising even as frenzied overbidding quiets. "Instead of 20 to 30 offers, now maybe you only get two or three, " says John Deadly, a Bay Area real-estate broker. And most folks still feel pretty comfortable about their ability to find and keep a job. Many folks see silver linings to this slowdown. Potential homebuyers would cheer for lower interest rates. Employers wouldn"t mind a little fewer bubbles in the job market. Many consumers seem to have been influenced by stock-market swings, which investors now view as a necessary ingredient to a sustained boom. Diners might see an upside, too. Getting a table at Manhattan"s hot new Alain Ducasse restaurant need to be impossible. Not anymore. For that, Greenspan & Co. may still be worth toasting.第51题By "Ellen Spero isn"t biting her nails just yet" ( Line 1, Paragraph 1 ), the author means ______.A.Spero can hardly maintain her businessB.Spero is too much engaged in her workC.Spero has grown out of her bad habitD.Spero is not in a desperate situation第52题How do the public feel about the current economic situation?______A.Optimistic.B.Confused.C.Carefree.D.Panicked.第53题When mentioning "the $ 4 million to $10 million range" ( Line 2, Paragraph 3 ) the author is talking about ______.A.gold marketB.real estateC.stock exchangeD.venture investment第54题Why can many people see "silver linings" to the economic slowdown?______A.They would benefit in certain ways.B.The stock market shows signs of recovery.C.Such a slowdown usually precedes a boom.D.The purchasing power would be enhanced.第55题To which of the following is the author likely to agree?______A.A now boom, on the horizon.B.Tighten the belt, the single remedy.C.Caution all right, panic not.D.The more ventures, the more chances.上一题下一题(56~60/共15题)Section ⅢReading ComprehensionPart A Read the following texts and answer the questions which accompany them by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.The Village Green in New Milford, Connecticut, is a snapshot of New England charm: a carefully manicured lawn flanked by scrupulously maintained colonial homes. Babysitters dandle kids in the wooden gazebo, waiting for commuter parents to return from New York. On a lazy afternoon last week Caroline Nicholas, 16, had nothing more pressing to do than drink in the early-summer sunshine and discuss the recent events in town. " I don"t think a lot of older people knew there were unhappy kids in New Milford," she said, "I could see it coming. "In a five-day period in early June eight girls were brought to New Milford Hospital after what hospital officials call suicidal gestures. The girls, all between 12 and 17, tried a variety of measures, including heavy doses of alcohol, over-the-counter medicines and cuts or scratches to their wrists. None was successful, and most didn"t require hospitalization ; but at least two attempts, according to the hospital, could have been vital. Their reasons seemed as mundane as the other happen-stances of suburban life. "I was just sick of it all," one told a reporter, "Everything in life." Most alarming, emergency-room doctor Frederick Lohse told a local reporter that several girls said they were part of a suicide pact. The hospital later backed away from this remark. But coming in the wake of at least sixteen suicide at- tempts over the previous few months, this sudden cluster—along with the influx of media—has set this well-groomed suburb of 23, 000 on edge. At a town meeting last Wednesday night, Dr Simon Sobo, chief of psychiatry at the hospital, told more than 200 parents and kids, "We"re talking about a crisis that has really gotten out of hand." Later he added, "There have been more suicide attempts this spring than I have seen in the 13 years I have been here. "Sobo said that the girls he treated didn"t have serious problems at home or school. "Many of these were popular kids," he said, "They got plenty of love, but beneath the reassuring signs, a swath of teens here are not making it." Some say that drugs, Both pot and "real drugs", are commonplace. Kids have shown up with LIFE SUCKS and LONG LIVE DEATH penned on their arms.A few girls casually display scars on their arms where they cut them- selves. "You"d be surprised how many kids try suicide," said one girl, 17. "You don"t want to put pain on other people; you put it on yourself." She said she used to cut herself "just to release the pain".Emily, 15, a friend of three of the girls treated in June, said one was having family problems, one was "upset that day" and the third was "just upset with everything else going on". She said they weren"t really trying to kill themselves—they just needed concern. As Sobo noted, "What"s going on in New Milford is not unique to New Milford. " The same underlying culture of despair could be found in any town. But teen suicide, he added, can be a "contagion". Right now New Milford has the bug—and has it bad.第56题What is the main subject of the passage?______A.Eight gifts committed suicide in New Milford.B.The village Green is not a charming place.C.Teenager suicide.D.Dr. Simon Sobo"s achievements.第57题In the 3rd sentence of the first paragraph the word "pressing" is closest in meaning to ______.A.urgently importantB.pushingC.invitingD.charming第58题What is NOT true about the eight girls?______A.They are all between 12 and 17.B.They have tried a variety of measures.C.They attend a suicide squad.D.All their attempts to commit suicide are vital.第59题Which of the statements about the teens is NOT true?______A.They are ill-bred students in school.B.Some of them take "real drugs".C.Teens need attention.D.A few casually display scars on their arms.第60题According to the passage, the teens in Village Green can be called ______.A.depressed generationB.cool generationC.attractive generationD.prosperous generation上一题下一题(61~65/共15题)Section ⅢReading ComprehensionPart A Read the following texts and answer the questions which accompany them by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.The history of responses to the work of the artist Sandro Botticelli (1444 - 1510) suggests that widespread appreciation by critics is a relatively recent phenomenon. Writing in 1550, Vasari expressed an unease with Botticelli"s work, admitting that the artist fitted awkwardly into his evolutionary scheme of the history of art. Over the next two centuries, academic art historians defamed Botticelli in favor of his fellows Florentine, Michelangelo. Even when anti-academic art historians of the early nineteenth century rejected many of the standards of evaluation adopted by their predecessors, Botticelli"s work remained outside of accepted taste, pleasing neither amateur observers nor connoisseurs. ( Many of his best paintings, however, remained hidden away in obscure churches and private homes.The primary reason for Botticelli"s unpopularity is not difficult to understand: most observers, up until the mid-nineteenth century, did not consider him to be noteworthy, because his work, for the most part, did not seem to these observers to exhibit the traditional characteristics of the fifteenth-century Florentine art. For example, Botticelli rarely employed the technique of strict perspective and, unlike Michelangelo, never used chiaroscuro.Another reason for Botticelli"s unpopularity may have been that his attitude toward the style of classical art was very different from that of his contemporaries. Although he was thoroughly exposed to classical art, he showed little interest in borrowing from the classical style. Indeed, it is paradoxical that a painter of large-scale classical subjects adopted a style that was only slightly similar to that of classical art.In any case, when viewers began to examine more closely the relationship of Botticelli"s work to the tradition of the fifteenth century Florentine art, his reputation began to grow. Analyses and assessments of Botticelli made between 1850 and 1870 by the artists of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, as well as by the writer Pater ( although he, unfortunately, based his assessment on an incorrect analysis of Botticelli" s personality), inspired a new appreciation of Botticelli throughout the English-speaking world. Yet Botticelli"s work, especially the Sistine frescoes, did not generate worldwide attention until it was finally subjected to a comprehensive and scrupulous analysis by Home in 1908. Home rightly demonstrated that the frescoes shared important features with paintings by other fifteenth-century Florentines—features such as skillful representation of anatomical proportions, and of the human figure in motion. However, Home argued that Botticelli did not treat these qualities as ends in themselves—rather, that he emphasized clear depletion of a story, a unique achievement and one that made the traditional Florentine qualities less central. Because of Home"s emphasis crucial to any study of art, the twentieth century has come to appreciate Botticelli"s achievements.第61题Which of the following would be the best title for the text?______A.The Role of Standard Art Analyses and AppraisalsB.Sandro Botticelli: From Rejection to AppreciationC.The History of Critics" Responses to Art WorksD.Botticelli and Florentine: A Comparative Study第62题We can learn from the text that art critics have a history of ______.A.suppressing painters" art initiativesB.favoring Botticelli" s best paintingsC.rejecting traditional art characteristicsD.undervaluing Botticelli" s achievements第63题The views of Vasari and Home on Botticelli"s products are ______.A.identicalplementaryC.oppositeD.similar第64题The word "connoisseurs" ( Paragraph 1 ) most probably means ______.A.representatives in the Pre-Raphaelite MovementB.people who are in favor of FlorentineC.critics who are likely to make assessmentsD.conservatives clinging to classical art第65题What does the author think of Botticelli"s representation skills?______A.They are to be fully appreciated.B.They evolve from an uncertain source.C.They underlie his personality.D.They conform to the classical style.上一题下一题(66~70/共5题)Part B In the following article, some paragraphs have been removed. For Questions 66～70, choose the most suitable paragraph from the list A～F to fit into each of the numbered gaps. There is ONE paragraph which does not fit in any of the gaps. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.With unfamiliar human beings, when we acknowledge their humanness, we must avoid stating at them, and yet we must also avoid ignoring them. To make them into people rather than objects, we use a deliberate and polite inattention. We look at them long enough to, make it quite clear that we see them, and then we immediately look a- way.1The important thing in such an exchange is that we do not catch the eye of one whom we are recognizing as a person. We look at him without locking glances, and then we immediately look away. Recognition is not permitted.2If you pass someone in the street, you may eye the oncoming person until you are about eight feet apart, then you must look away as you pass. Before the eight-foot distance is reached, each will signal in which direction he will pass. This is done with a brief look in that direction. Each will veer slightly and the passing is done smoothly.3To strengthen this signal, you look directly at the other"s face before looking away.4It becomes impossible to discover just what they are doing. Are they looking at you too long, too intently? Are they looking at you at all? The person wearing the glasses feels protected and assumes that he can stare without being noticed in his staring. However, this is a self-deception. To the other person, dark glasses seem to indicate that the wearer is always staring at him.We often use this look-away technique when we meet famous people. We want to assure them we are respecting their privacy and that we would not dream of staring at them. The same is true of the crippled or physically handicapped. We look brief and then look away before the stare can be said to be a stare.5Of course, the opposite is also true. If we wish to put a person down, we may do so by staring longer than is acceptably polite. Instead of dropping our gazes when we lock glances, we continue to stare. The person who disapproves of interracial marriages or dating will stare rudely at the interracial couple. If he dislikes long hair, short dresses, or beards, he may show it with a longer-than-acceptable stare.A. There are different formulas for the exchange of glances depending on where the meeting takes place.B. In the subway or bus where long rides in very close circumstances are a necessity, we may be hard put to find some way of not staring. We sneak glances, but look away before our eyes canlock. If we look with an unfocused glance that misses the eyes and settles on the head, the mouth, the body for any place but the eyes is an acceptable looking spot for the unfocused glance.C. Actually in this way we are saying, in body language, "I know you are there, " and a moment later we add, "But-I would not dream of intruding on your privacy. "D. It is the technique we use for any unusual situation where too long a stare would be embarrassing. When we see an interracial couple, we also use this technique. We might use it when we see a man with an unusual beard, with extra longhair, with outlandish clothes, or a girl with a minimal miniskirt may attract this look- and-away.E. For this passing encounter Dr. Erving Goffman in behavior in public places says that the quick look and the lowering of the eyes is body language for, "I trust you. I am not afraid of you. "F. Sometimes the rules are hard to follow, particularly if one of the two people wears dark glasses.第66题第67题第68题第69题第70题上一题下一题(71~80/共10题)Part C Answer questions 71 ～80 by referring to the comments on 3 different cars in the following magazine articles. Note: Answer each question by choosing A, B or C and mark it on ANSWER SHEET 1. Some choices may be required more than once.A = Hydro powerB = Nuclear powerC = Solar powerD = Wind powerWhich power (power"s)...·was developed to provide electricity for satellites at the beginning? 1·can promote tourism development? 2·may give off dangerous radioactive pollution into the air? 3·may affect the downstream water quality and have an impact on plant life? 4·stations can increase to full power very quickly? 5·produces small amounts of waste? 6·is a good method of supplying energy to remote areas? 7·provides around 20% of the world"s electricity? 8·can be used to heat your water at home instead of so much gas or electricity? 9·is not renewable? 10A Hydro powerIntroductionWe have used running water as an energy source for thousands of years, mainly to grind corn. The first house in the world to be lit by hydroelectricity was Cragside House, in Northumberland, England, in 1878. In 1882 on the Fox River, in the USA, hydroelectricity produced enough power to light two paper mills and a house.Nowadays there are many hydro-electric power stations, providing around 20% of the world"s electricity. The name comes from "hydro", the Greek word for water.How it worksA dam is built to trap water, usually in a valley where there is an existing lake.Water is allowed to flow through tunnels in the dam, to turn turbines and thus drive generators. AdvantagesOnce the dam is built, the energy is virtually free.No waste or pollution produced.Much more reliable than wind, solar or wave power.Water can be stored above the darn ready to cope with peaks in demand.Hydro-electric power stations can increase to full power very quickly, unlike other power stations. DisadvantagesThe dams are very expensive to build.Building a large dam will flood a very large area upstream, causing problems for animals that used to live there.Finding a suitable site can be difficult—the impact on residents and the environment may be unacceptable.Water quality and quantity downstream can be affected, which can have an impact on plant life. Is it renewable?Hydro-electric power is renewable.The Sun provides the water by evaporation from the sea, and will keep on doing so.B Nuclear powerIntroductionNuclear power is generated using Uranium, which is a metal mined in various parts of the world. The first large-scale nuclear power station opened at Calder Hall in Cambria, England, in 1956. Some military ships and submarines have nuclear power plants for engines.How it worksNuclear power stations work in pretty much the same way as fossil fuel-burning stations, except that a "chain reaction" inside a nuclear reactor makes the heat instead.The reactor uses Uranium rods as fuel, and the heat is generated by nuclear fission. Neutrons smash into the nucleus of the uranium atoms, which split roughly in half and release energy in the form of heat.Carbon dioxide gas is pumped through the reactor to take the heat away, and the hot gas then heats water to make steam.AdvantagesNuclear power costs about the same as coal, so it"s not expensive to make.Does not produce smoke or carbon dioxide, so it does not contribute to the greenhouse effect. Produces huge amounts of energy from small amounts of fuel.Produces small amounts of waste.DisadvantagesAlthough not much waste is produced, it is very, very dangerous.It must be sealed up and buried for many years to allow the radioactivity to die away.Nuclear power is reliable, but a lot of money has to be spent on safety.Is it renewable?Nuclear energy from Uranium is not renewable.Once we"ve dug up all the Earth"s uranium and used it, there isn"t any more.C Solar powerIntroduction。

Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET by drawing a thick line across the corresponding letter in the brackets.Text 1After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper thanthe one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (Although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion the counting sheep will put you to sleep!46 A good title for this passage is ____.A. Sleep C. DreamsB. Good Health D. Work and Rest47. The word drowsy in the last paragraph means ____.A. sick C. asleepB. stand up D. a little sleepy48. This passage suggests that not getting enough sleep might make you _____.A. dream more often C. nervousB. have poor health D. breathe quickly49. During REM, ____.A. your eyes move quickly C. you are restlessB. you dream D. both A and B50. The average number of hours of sleep that an adult needs is ______ .A. approximately six hours C. about eight hoursB. around ten hours D. not stated hereText 2Obviously television has both advantages and disadvantages.In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a comparatively cheap one. With a TV set in the family people don’t have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, the cinema, or the opera .All they have to so is to push a button or turn a knob, and they can see plays, films, operas and shows of every kind. Some people, however, think that this is where the danger lies. The television viewers need do nothing. He does not even have to use his legs if the has a remote control. He makes no choice and exercises, no judgment. He is completely passive and has everything presented to him without any effort in his part.Television, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events and the latest developments in science and politics. The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into one’s sitting room. It could be argued that the radio performs this service as well; but on television everything is much more living, much more real. Yet here again there is a danger. The television screen itself has a terrible, almost physical charm for us. We get so used to looking at the movements on it ,so dependent on its pictures, that it begins to control our lives. People are often heard to say that their television sets have broken down and that they have suddenly found that they have far more time to do things and the they have actually begin to talk to each other again. It makes one think, doesn’t it?There are many other arguments for and against television. We must realize that television itself is neither good nor bad. It is the uses that it is put to that determine its value to society.51. What is the major function of paragraph 1?A. To arouse the reader’s concernB. To introduce the theme of the whole passageC. To summarize the whole passageD. To sate the primary uses of TV52. Television, as a source of entertainment, is ______.A. not very convenientB. very expensiveC. quite dangerousD. relatively cheap53. Why are some people against TV?A. Because TV programs re not interestingB. Because TV viewers are totally passiveC. Because TV prices are very high.D. Because TV has both advantages and disadvantages54. One of the most obvious advantages of TV is that ______.A. it keeps us informedB. it is very cheapC. it enables us to have a restD. it controls our lives55. According to the passage, whether TV is good or not depends on _______ .A. its qualityB. people ’s attitude towards itC. how we use itD. when we use it。
