2014高考高三年级英语模拟试卷（第I卷）总分：150分考试时间：120分钟一．阅读理解（40分）AThe time may soon come when we say goodbye to most of the world’s languages. Today humans express themselves in over 6,000 different languages. But that is quickly changing. Many scientists say that over half of these languages will disappear within the next 50 years. After 100 years, the languages used in the world will not be more than 20.Why? It is because people from different cultures live and work together much more often than before. This brings change. The languages of the world’s main cultures are replacing the languages of the smaller cultures.Most international trade takes place in world languages such as English. People respect their own cultures and traditions, but when it comes to getting a job, knowing a world language is often necessary. It may mean the difference between success and failure.Technology works on the change of languages in an even more amazing way. Modern media such as radio and television give young people in developing countries much knowledge about the world. But this knowledge doesn’t come in words from the mouths of their parents or the elders in their neighborhood. It usually comes in the language of a different culture.People in different cultures think it good for them to share a popular language. They can quickly share ideas and work together. Knowing the same language means easier communication and is a basis for trust.Is the death of a small local language such a terrible thing?The answer is maybe. Many cultures may have words for many useful things we know nothing about. If their languages die, their valuable wisdom may be lost forever.The future of the world’s languages depends on our actions now. Will we protect endangered languages or allowed them to quietly disappear?Time will have the last word.56. Scientists say that within 50 years, perhaps, there will be only _____languages in the world.A. 4,000B. over 3,000C. around 3,000D. no more than 2057. In “The languages of the world’s main cultures are replacing thelanguages of the smaller cultures,” the verb “replace” means “_____”.A. to put something back into a correct placeB. to use a second thing in place of the first thingC. to find good place for somethingD. to decide how important something is58. The passage says that if all the people in the world knew a major worldlanguage, _____.A. radio and television would all use the languageB. it would be easier for them to share their ideasC. lessons at schools would be taught in the languageD. people would respect their own culture more59. Also, the passage says that if nobody spoke the languages of smallercultures, _____.A. Many of the words for things we do not know would be lost.B. knowledge would come from the mouths of the eldersC. people would have difficult in working togetherD. there would be no smaller cultures.60. By saying “Time will have the last word,” the writer means “ _____”.A. let us wait and seeB. we have time to do somethingC. it is too late to do anythingD. it is only a problem of timeBPeople who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds. It’s possible that being full of vim and vigor helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in Pittsburgh.“We need to take more seriously the possibility that a positive emotional style is a major player in disease risk,” says psychologist Sheldon Cohen, the study’s lead researcher.In a previous study, Cohen and his colleagues found that people who tended to be cheerful and lively were least likely to develop sniffles, coughs, and other cold symptoms.Those findings were interesting, but they didn’t prove that a person’s attitude affects whether he or she gets sick. Instead, it was still probable that a person’s underlying personality is what matters.Evidence suggests, for instance, that certain people are naturally more likely to be outgoing and optimistic, with high self-respect and a sense of2control over life. This would mean that who we are, not how we feel, finally decides our chances of catching colds.To figure out which mattered more (personality or emotions). The CMU team interviewed 193 healthy adults. The researchers talked to each person over the phone every evening for 2 weeks. They told the researchers about the positive and negative feelings that they had experienced that day.The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get infected. Their symptoms, however, differed depending on the types of emotions that they had reported over the previous 2 weeks.Among those who reported good moods and had been infected with the flu virus, for example, 28 percent developed coughs and stuffy (堵塞) noses. On the other hand, those symptoms struck 41 percent of people who had been less positive. Scientists argue about whether negative emotions or positive emotions have a stronger effect on how healthy we are, For now, it can not hurt to look on the bright side more often than not.61. What is the text mainly about?A. How to get rid of colds.B. Attitude determines life.C. Smiles turn away colds.D. Different opinions about colds.62.The phrase”full of vim and vigor” underlined in Paragraph 1 probablymeans___________.A.ignorantB. Well-informedC. energeticD. in low spirits63.According to the research, persons who are likely to catch colds should bethose __________?A. Who have negative attitude towards their life.B. Who are very emotional and optimistic.C. Who are open-minded and outgoing.D. Who have trouble with their noses64.The last paragraph implies that __________.A.positive and negative emotions have good aspects.B.people who have been less positive tend to catch colds.C.Keeping an optimistic state of mind is good for health.D.positive emotions have a stronger effect on health.C高三英语第3页Comic Strips（连环漫画）For hundreds of years, artists have used cartoons to criticize bad rulers or landowners. As early as the 19th century, people produced and read books of drawing. In many ways, they were similar to modern comics. They contained stories of naughty children and playful animals. The owl（猫头鹰）and the elephant were usually wise animals, ready to give advice. The lion and the tiger were brave. The fox and the wolf were cunning（狡猾的）greedy（贪婪的）and dangerous.A century ago, an American newspaper published the first full-colour comic strip. It was so popular that sales of the newspaper, Morning Journal, increased quickly. Since then, newspapers throughout the world have included comic strips.In modern times, comics are popular in China, Japan, the USA and almost everywhere. Not even video games or CD-ROMs have reduced their popularity. Names such as Snoopy, Woodstock and Garfield are well known in dozens of countries. The Peanuts comic strip appears in over 2,000 newspapers and in more than 25 languages. People believe that its creator, Charles M. Schultz, earned US$60 million a year.Perhaps one day, you may like to create your own comic strip and become a millionaire. First, you must think of a good plot. It should be funny, exciting or interesting in some way. It should have plenty of action. Moreover, the language must be realistic and simple. The words should suit the characters in your story. One type of person might say, “Please be quiet and listen to what we have to say.” But another type of character might simply say, “Shut up and listen!”Furthermore, the characters in your story must be clear to readers. They should be obviously good or bad ---- and not a mixture of both. A leader must be stronger or cleverer than his or her followers. In many comic strips ---- especially those showing crime of adventure ---- there should also be a hero or heroine. This will attract the reader to keep on reading the story.65. The underlined word “plot” is similar in meaning to _____.A. placeB. stripC. storyD. character66. Which of the following is NOT the name of a cartoon Character?A. Snoopy.B. Peanuts.C. Woodstock.D. Garfield.67. In the 19th century, the wolf in the cartoons was NOT _____.A. cunningB. dangerousC. greedyD. brave4DMeetings don’t just eat up time in the workplace ; they actually make groups of people stupider, says new research.Working in a group makes people perform worse on intelligence tests, as some group members are so anxious about doing well that they “divert”their brain towards maintaining their social status in the group.You may joke about how committee meetings make you feel brain dead, but our findings suggest that they make you act brain dead as well, said Read Montague the study leader at Virginia Tech.Groups of volunteers showed measurable drops in IQ when asked to perform intelligence tests socially, with the results broadcast to the group.Some people performed well in the “social”tests, but others were affected badly--- and overall,performance dropped.Women appear to feel this pressure more than men---only three out of 13 female volunteers performed well in a social environment, with 10 out of 13 finding that their performance dropped.The researchers used a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner to monitor how people’s brains responded--- and found that bad performers tended to show activity in parts of their brain that dealt with emotions and anxiety.“We started with individuals who were matched for their IQ,”said Montague. “Yet when we placed them in small groups, ranked their performance on tasks against their peers, and broadcast the rankings, we saw dramatic drops in the ability of some study subjects to solve problems.”“Our study highlights the unexpected and dramatic consequences even subtle social signals in group settings may have on the individual,” said lead author Keneth Kishida.“We don’t know how much these effects are present in real-world settings. By placing an emphasis on competition, for example, are we missinga large segment of the talent pool?”68. Which of the following statements is Not true according to thepassage?A. Meetings make groups of people stupider.B. Meetings make you act brain dead.C. Meetings make people perform worse on intelligence tests.高三英语第5页D. Meetings don’t affect men’s performance in intelligence tests.69. This passage can be classified as __________.A. An advertisementB.a book reviewC. A feature storyD.a science report70.What would be the best title of the text?A. Brainstorming? More Like Brain DrainB. Brainstorming Affects People”s IQ TestC. Brainstorming Makes People Act Brain DeadD.Brainstorming Affects Women’s PerformanceE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。

I 36 it when I was three, long before I knew that scars were a 37 thing, especially for a girl. I only knew my scar brought me 38 and tenderness and candy. As I got older, I began to take 39 in my scar, in part to stop people laughing at me, but mainly as a reaction to the thought that I should feel uncomfortable. It‘s true I was uncomfortable when people called me‖ Scarface‖ the first couple of times. But the more I heard how 40 my scar was, the more I found myself liking it.When I turned fifteen, my parents decided it was time to 41 on the scar.‖But I don‘t mind the scar, really,‖ I told my father as he 42 that I would have theoperation during summer vacation. And my friends, along with my boyfriend at the time, felt as I did, that my scar was 43 and almost pretty in its own way. After so many years, it was a 44 of me. But my father said it was a deformity(畸形).I don‘t know what 45 more that day: hearing my father call my scar a deformity without caring about my feeling.I did have the operation that summer, and my scar was nowhere to be found, but no one asked me about it anymore.

Then 49 to deal with failure and success in our life?On the one hand, ―failure is the mother of success‖. If we sum 50 experiences and lessons after failure, maybe success will come. Nevertheless, if we lose our hearts and give up former efforts, we will 51 succeed. In a word, the key to success is our hard struggle. On the other hand, success may cause failure, too.

Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements．For each of them there are four choices marked A, B,C and D．Choose the one that fits best according to the information.AFew laws are so effective that you can see results just days after they take effect. But in the nine days since the federal cigarette tax more than doubled--- to $1.01 per pack---smokers have jammed telephone ―quit lines‖ across the country seeking to kick the habit.This is not a surprise to public health advocates. They‘ve studied the effect of state tax increase for years, finding that smokers, especially teens, are price sensitive. Nor is it a shock to the industry, which fiercely fights every tax increase.The only wonder is that so many states insist on closing their ears to the message. Tobacco taxes improve public health, they raise money and most particularly, they deter people from taking up the habit as teens, which is when nearly all smokers are addicted. Yet the rate of taxation varies widely.In Manhattan, for instance, which has the highest tax in the nation, a pack of Marlboro Light King cost $10.06 at one drugstore Wednesday. Charleston , S,C , where the 7-cent-a-pack tax is the lowest in the nation. The price is $4.78.The influence is obvious.In New York, high school smoking hit a new low in the latest surveys---13.8%, far below the nation average. By comparison, 26% of high school students smoke in Kentucky. Other low-tax states have similarly depressing teen-smoking records.Hal Rogers, representatives from Kentucky, like those who are against high tobacco taxes, argues that the burden of the tax falls on low-income Americans ― who choose to smoke‖.That‘s true. But there is more reason in keeping future generations of low—income workers from getting hooked in the first place. As for today‘s adults, if the new tax drives them to quit, they will have more to spend on their families, cut their risk of cancer and heart disease and feel better.56. The passage is mainly about __________A. the price of cigarettesB. the rate of teen smokingC. the effect of tobacco tax increaseD. the differences in tobacco tax rate57. What does the author think is a surprise?A. Teen smokers are price sensitive.B. Some states still keep the tobacco tax low.C. Tobacco taxes improve public health.D. Tobacco industry fiercely fights the tax rise.58. The unde rlined word ―deter‖ in Paragraph 3 most probably means_________.A. discardB. removeC. benefitD. free.59. Rogers‘ attitude towards the low- income smokers might be that of ________.A. toleranceB. unconcernC. doubtD. sympathy60. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. The new tax will be beneficial in the long run.B. Low—income Americans are more likely to fall ill.C. Future generations will be hooked on smoking.D. Adults will depend more on their families.BFor 365 days, Christina Dean has decided to only wear second-hand clothes. In that way, she hopes to promote environmental sustainability( 可持续发展) in the fashion industry.The woman, The founder of ReDress, is wearing ―100% dumped(废弃的) and donated second-hand clothes.‖ for the whole year of 2013, with the exception of her underwear and shoes.Ms Dean said it was after she witnessed first hand some of the estimated 217 tons of textilewaste, being thrown into landfills every day, that she needed to take action.‖ I realized that the environmental gains made by the fashion industry‘s sustainablilty initiatives(积极性) become lost, when faced with this case of the waste,‖ she explained, In the UK, almost 10,000 pieces of clothes were dumped into landfill every five mi nutes.‖Each month, Ms Dean visits a recycling center, and picks out about 30 outfits. With the help of a stylist, she put together looks from the recycled clothing using specific themes: repurposed, DIY, repair or one little black dress worn for an entire month. ―The recycling center is full of bags with dumped clothes of every size, shape and style,‖ said Ms Dean, who won the 2011 EcoChic Design Award.Previous owners of her chosen clothes range from ―old Chinese grannies‖ to ―young Nigerian street vendor s‖, who often throw away designer goods.

DeLuca rented a storefront(店面) in Connecticut, and when they couldn‘t cover their start-up costs, Buck kicked in another $1,000.But business didn‘t go smoothly as they expected. DeLuca says, ―After six months, we weredoing poorly, but we didn‘t know how badly, because we didn‘t have any financial controls.‖ All he and Buck knew was that their sales were lower than their costs.DeLuca was managing the store and going to the University of Bridgeport at the same time. Buck was working at his day job as a nuclear physicist in New York. They‘d meet Monday evenings and brainstorm ideas for keeping the business running. ―We convinced ourselves to open a second store. We figured we could tell the public. ‗We are so successful, we are opening a second store.‘‖ And they did –in the spring of 1966. Still, it was a lot of learning by trial and error.But the partners ‗learn-as-you-go‘ app roach turned out to be their greatest strength. Every Friday, DeLuca would drive around and hand-deliver the checks to pay their suppliers. ―It probably took me two and a half hours and it wasn‘t necessary, but as a result, the suppliers got to know me ver y well, and the personal relationships established really helped out.‖ DeLuca says.And having a goal was also important. ―There are so many problems that can get you down.

Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.Ninety-five per cent of people never succeed because they‘re following the wrong group.A French scientist once made an experiment with caterpillars (毛虫) looking for food. He led a group of caterpillars onto the edge of a large flowerpot so that the leader of the group found itself nose to tail with the last caterpillar, forming a circle without end or beginning. Out of habit, the ring of the caterpillars circled the flowerpot for seven days and seven nights until they died of starvation. In fact, plenty of food was close at hand, but it was outside the range of the circle, so the caterpillars continued along the wrong path.People often behave in the same way. For example, if someone shouts, ―Fire!‖ many people will follow the crowd blindly and many thousands have died because of it. How many stop to askthemselves: Is this really the best way out of here?Most people follow the crowd because it seems easier to follow the mainstream than to deal with change on their own even when that change may represent freedom, achievement and success.A hard thing for them to fully understand is that people in such numbers can be wrong. People thought the earth was flat and later it was believed that the sun, stars and planets travelled around the earth. Both ideas are now considered ridiculous, but at the time they were believed by the majority of followers.It‘s a good idea to step out of the line every once in a while and look around to see if the line is going where they want it to go. Success only favors those who think outside the box.81. How long did the caterpillar circle the flowerpot? (within 6 words)( 2 marks)82. Why couldn‘t the caterpillar find the food ever when it was close at hand? (within 10 words)( 2 marks)83. How does the author support his ideas? (no more than 5 words) ( 3 marks)84. What is the best title for the text? (within 7 words) ( 3 marks)Section C (25 marks)Directions: Write an English composition according to the instructions given below in Chinese.假定你是某外国语学校高三年级2班的学习委员，经常看到有同学抄袭作业，针对这种现象，你将在下周的班会上组织全班同学讨论这一现象，并以―My opinion on copying others‘ homework‖ 为主题作中心发言，请事先用英语写好一篇发言稿。

When the bus passed through New Jersey, they began to notice a man, who sat in front of them, dressed in a plain, illfitting suit, never moving, his dusty face masking his age.Shortly after a snack at the Howard Johnson’s outside Washington, they went back to the bus, and one of the girls sat beside him and introduced herself.“We’re going to Florida，” she said brightly. “I hear it’s really beautiful.”“It is，” he said quietly, as if remembering something he had tried to forget.“Want some wine？” she said.He smiled and took a full glass. After a while, slowly and painfully, he told his story. His name was Vingo and had been in jail in New York for the past four years. Last week he was released from imprisonment and now going home.“When I was in prison I wrote to my wife，” he said. “I told her that I was going to be away a long time, and that if she couldn’t stand it, she could just forget me; I’d understand. We used to live in Brunswick, just before Jacksonville, and there’s a big oak tree just as you come into town.Last week, I wrote her again. I told her that if she’d take me back, she should put a yellow handkerchief on the tree, and I’d get off and come home. If she didn’t want me, forget it, no handkerchief, and I’d go on through.”She told the others, and soon all of them were in it, caught up in the approach of Brunswick, waiting for the approach of the great oak tree. Now they were 10 miles from Brunswick, and then five. Then, suddenly, all of the young people were up out of their seats, screaming and shouting and crying, doing small dances of joy. The oak tree was covered with yellow handkerchiefs, 20 of them, 30 of them, maybe hundreds, a tree that stood like small flags of welcome flying in the wind. As the young people shouted, Vingo rose and made his way to the front of the bus to go home.【1】What attracted the six young people when their bus passed through New Jersey?A. The Howard Johnson’s.B. A poorlydressed man.C. Golden beaches.D. A mysterious man with a mask.【2】It can be inferred from the short conversation between the girl and Vingo that ________．A. he had forgotten all his pastB. he hated talking with strangersC. he was a dangerous prisoner escaping from jailD. he was a man of few words but kind of friendly【3】Vingo wrote a letter to his wife before starting off to ________．A. ask for her forgivenessB. beg her to allow him back homeC. tie a yellow handkerchief to the oak treeD. make sure if she was still in love with him【4】Why did all the young people shout with joy when they arrived in Brunswick?A. They were only 5 miles away from their destination.B. They were surprised to see so many welcoming people.C. They were sure that Vingo’s wife was expecting him home.D. The oak tree was still standing there welcoming Vingo back home.【5】What can be the best title for the story?A. Going HomeB. An Oak TreeC. Yellow HandkerchiefsD. A Bus TripCWhen you look at yourself in the mirror, do you ever wonder why you look the way you do?No two faces look exactly alike, making a human face as unique as a fingerprint. Genetics (遗传学) obviously play a major role—no two faces share the same DNA. But even in identical twins, there are still small differences in their appearances. So what is it that makes each face different?The answer lies in a small piece of your DNA called a “gene enhancer”，according to a study published in Science. “There are thousands of enhancers in the human genome，” study leader Axel Visel, a researcher with Berkeley Lab. US. told Discovery.According to Visel, these DNA pieces act like switches, turning genes on and off and therefore determining whether a certain facial feature develops in a fetus (胎儿) while it is still in the womb (子宫)．What’s interesting about gene enhancers is that they don’t have to be found anywhere closeSection B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet.Chinese students always complain that they’re under great pressure and don’t get enough sleep. But they may be surprised to learn that they’re much luckier than their peers (同龄人) in South Korea and Japan, according to a recently published report, conducted by Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences on the physical and mental health of senior high school students in the three Asian countries.Among nearly 6，000 high school students in the three countries, Chinese students are the tallest but poorest in physical fitness. Chinese students are on average 168.17cm, compared with 167.61cm for South Korean students and 164.70cm for Japanese students. Chinese students asked for sick leave more than students in other countries. About 72 percent of Korean students never asked for sick and injury leave during high school, compared to 53 percent for Japanese students and 45 percent for Chinese students.As the survey presents, Japanese and South Korean students suffer more pressure. Statistics show 16 percent of students in China said they experienced mental pressure often over the past year, while the numbers in Japan and South Korea were 33 percent and 47 percent respectively. Their worries come from “study”，“friendships” and “relationship with their parents”. To go with stress, 57.9 percent of Korean students sleep the least, less than six hours a day, compared with 46.6 percent of Japanese students and 30 percent of Chinese students.More Chinese students were satisfied with their physical appearance. In measures of selfworth, such as “I think I am valuable” and “I can complete many things”，“I won’t give up to failure，” Chinese students showed greater selfconfidence than students in Japan and South Korea and they are the happiest among the three.【1】 According to the survey, who sleep the most? (No more than 2 words)【2】Among the surveyed 6，000 students, how many Japanese students ever asked for leave? (No more than 3 words)【3】Why are Chinese students happier than Korean and Japanese students? (No more than 5 words)【4】What’s the passage mainly about? (No more than 18 words)Section C (25 marks)Directions: Write an English composition according to the instructions given below.湖南卫视推出了一档很受欢迎的亲子秀节目Where Are We Going, Dad?

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.APreviously, I heard a story about a mother who had two daughters. She loved them very much, but two girls would fight with each other from their earliest years. As they grew older, they became total strangers. They had no contact with each other when they were adults.This caused the mother great pain. Then, later, she had an idea. She decided to write a letter to them. In this letter, she told them how much she loved them, and how she wanted them to love each other in this way. She also gave them news of herself, and some guidance on how they might live happier lives.When the letter was ready, she wrote out one copy for each daughter, but these copies were special. Each copy contained only every second sentence of the original letter. The copy for one daughter had only the even(偶数的) sentences, and the other daughter‘s copy contained only the odd sentences. Neither copy made sense on its own. Neither contained the fullness of the mother‘s message.When the two daughters received their letters, they were puzzled. If they really wanted to know what the letters said, they would have to put the two letters together, and read them as one. That meant they must approach one another again in mutual(彼此的) love and respect.For a long time, the mother waited in vain. Both daughters tried to understand the half-letter, but they each blamed the other for not helping them. Each daughter thought she knew her mother better.Then one day, when the mother had almost given up hope, there was a knock at the door. There they stood, together. ―We‘ve come home,‖ they said at the same time. ―We‘ve finally put our letters together, and we‘ve come to say how much we love you, Mum.‖ Then she hugged them both, tears of joy streaming down her cheeks, and welcomed them back home.56.

They argued that the only way to restore willpower was by rest, food or entertainment.But psychologists have challenged this theory, saying weak willpower is all in your head. They found that people‘s beliefs in willpower determine how long and how well they'll be able to work on a tough mental exercise. ―If you think of willpower as something that‘s limited, you're mo re likely to be tired when you perform a difficult task," said Prof. V eronika Job. ―But if you think of willpower as something that is not easily used up, you can go on and on.‖.The researchers designed four experiments to test students'-beliefs in willpower. After a tiring task, those, who believed or were led to believe that willpower is a limited resource, performed worse on standard concentration tests than those who thought of willpower as something they had more control over. They also found that leading up to final exam week, students who believed the limited resource theory ate junk food 24 percent more often than those who believed they had more control in resisting temptation (诱惑).Mr. Job said. ―The theory that willpower is a limited resource is interesting, but it has had unintended consequences. Students who may already have trouble studying are being told that their power of concentration is limited, and they need to take frequent breaks. But a belief in willpower as a non-limited resource makes people stronger in their ability to work through challenges.‖The findings could help people who are battling temptation. Willpower isn‘t driven by a biologically based process as much as we used to think. The belief in it is what influences your behavior.66. The theory that willpower is limited supports that _________.A. people must eat snacks when they feel tiredB. people do need a break to restore their willpowerC. there‘s no way to strengthen people‘s willpowerD. weak willpower doesn‘t affect people‘s life much67.

The following groups can benefit from the findings except _______.A. patients following strict dietsB. children liking to watch TVC. smokers trying to give up smokingD. employees facing a new but well-paid task70.

Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Do you know ―credit cards‖? They are ver y popular today. People use credit card to go shopping on the Internet, check into a hotel, rent a car, or dine out. People can buy now and pay later. A credit card may have a number of costs. First, there is the interest charge on purchase, known as the annual percentage rate. Second, Cardholders may have to pay cash advance fees if they withdraw money from credit cards.Compared to checks, a credit card allows small short – term loans to be quickly made to a customer who need not calculate a balance remaining before every transaction(交易、业务). Additionally there is no need for a customer to carry any cash for most purposes. Credit cards also offer consumers an easy way to track expenses.Credit cards are very convenient to use. But people who use credit cards irresponsibly can soon find themselves heavily in debt. Cardholders borrow money from a bank each time they charge something. They avoid interest charges if they pay their bill in full each month. But if they only make the minimum payment, it may take years to pay off a debt. Interest is continually charged on the unpaid balance.And that is not they only danger. Information security is a major issue these days. Recently there have been several incidents in which many people had financial information either lost or stolen. The cardholder suffered great losses. Now, major banks in China get more cautions in issuing caused by the card overdrafts(透支).Measures can be taken to avoid the problems. A lost or stolen card can be canceled in time, which will greatly limit the fraud. European ba nks require a cardholder‘s security code he entered for purchases with the card. In July, 2009, The China Banking Regulatory Commission forbade the issuing of credit cards to under 18–year–old age group.Title: 71._______________Occasions *shopping on line*checking into hotel *renting a car*72.______________73.____________ *annual percentage rate *cash advance fees74.____________ *making75._____________ quickly *there being no need to carry cash *76._____________easilyProblems *heavy debts if77._____________*78._______________*no ability to pay off debts for college students79.____________ *canceling stolen or lost cards in time*requiring users to enter security codes*forbidding issuing cards to 80.___________Section B (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.I‘m Bob. My first full-time job after high school was selling vacation packages via telephone for a well-known company. One day, the dialer （接线员）connected me to a man who answered the phone and sounded a bit out of breath. I started with my normal tone, and expecting to hear the normal response, ―I don‘t want any‖, and be hung up on.Instead he spoke in a weak voice and began to tell me how he wished he could take a vacation like the one I was offering, but he couldn‘t because he was dying of emphysema. He explained how he was on oxygen, and it took almost all his energy just to get to the phone to answer the call. I apologized to him for that. He asked me if I smoked and then begged me to stop. He told me smoking is what was killing him. He told me to spend every day with my loved ones, and tell them all the time how much I love them. At this point, I was in tears, and couldn‘t control myself, and he could tell. We ended the call, and I put my phone on hold to prevent another call from coming in so I could collect myself.After a few moments, I decided to write down his name and address, and just send him a card telling him that I appreciated his advice and that I would pray for him and his family. Shortly after, I received a nice letter back from Frank, along with a picture of him and his wife. We continued to write back and forth over the next few months, and became very fond of each other. He was old enough to be my grandfather, and in many ways, I felt as if he was.About a year later I received a letter from his wife. When I read it, my eyes were filled with tears. She told me how Frank‘s battle with the disease had finally come to an end, and he passed away shortly before Christmas. She wanted to thank me for the letters, and then explained how Frank touched many lives over the years. At his funeral, they read the first letter I had written to Frank to show how he affected a 19-year-old he had never even met.81. What would the customer normally do when the phone was connected?
