O 20291Dear Sirs;I am writing to your office to attempt to determine why I have encountered so many obstacles to receiving my proper monthly social security allotment. The started ten months ago and has actually gotten worse, making it extremely difficult for me to normal financial obligations.The first problem which I had to deal was simply getting a monthly check from you, having to waiting four or five extra weeks giving me fifty dollars than I should have received. Another check was mailed to me at an address from I moved more than two years ago. My letter of inquiry, which I sent to the Los Angeles office of the Social Security Administration, never an answer, and when I finally telephoned I was able to talk only with an arrogant clerk from the tone of whose voice I could that he didn't want to be bothered with me. The blow is a letter received from your office just yesterday which you state that my allotment is discontinued, your records indicating that I am dead.Beyond this letter of I have at least one other recourse: filing suit the Social Security Administration, which I would prefer not to have to do. I am asking you to please take steps are necessary to ensure that from now on I receive my social security benefits without obstacles. This letter is mute testimony to the that I am indeed not dead, legally or .Thelma SpencerYours sincerelyⅥ. Reading Comprehension.ATimes Square is like Piccadilly Circus in London. People walk quickly, their faces down, their brows furrowed. This is the center of life for many New Yorkers and for many visitors who see it for the first time. It can be compared to the heart of the beast. It is vital and throbbing with throngs of workers, students, and pleasure-seekers. Noises abound on all sides, first a taxi honks, then a bus, then a policeman blows his whistle and shouts to the crowds dashing across the street. In the distance, church bells toll. Beneath their feet, the rumble of the subway can be heard while the subterranean steam rises from the gratings in the sidewalk to meet the cold air on the street.1. According to the story, Times Square is __.A. not uniqueB. desertedC. too coldD. in London2. The throbbing of Times Square is caused by __.A. the subway scheduleB. the beasts who are thereC. the movements of the crowdsD. the circus3. Which of the noise does one not hear in Times Square?A. Church bellsB. Taxi hornsC. The wind whistling in the treesD. Shouts from policemen4. The steam mentioned in the story comes from __.A. undergroundB. the busesC. the carsD. the ships5. The weather in Times Square at that time was __.A. hotB. windyC. coldD. snowy6. How would you describe the faces of the people?A. SmilingB. Brows furrowedC. Faces upliftedD. CuriousBThe people archaeology concerns itself with are no longer alive. So the archaeologist finds ways to “communicate” with them by studying the things that they left behind, which are called artifacts. Deciding what to look for, where to look, and how to evaluate what is found are all matters that archaeologist must consider --- often even before any digging is done. When the digging, or excavation, does finally begin, the archaeologist needs great patience, skill, and training to be sure nothing is overlooked or destroyed. Drawings and careful notes are made of every stage of the excavation. Only after each find has been recorded in image and word can the artifacts be removed from the site. For the truth is that archaeology does not consist of fieldwork alone. It is in the laboratory that most discoveries about past cultures are actually made.1. With which of the following topics is the passage mainly concerned?A. Archaeologists who are no long alive.B. Artists and archaeologists.C. Laboratory discoveries in archaeology.D. The working methods of archaeologists2. In line 2, the author uses the expression “communicate” to i mply that archaeologist __.A. share news with other scientistsB. receive information about people of the pastC. study the dialects spoken by ancient peopleD. leave their discussions for a later time3. Which of the following is NOT mentioned by the author as a matter archaeologists must consider?A. The way in which evaluations are carried outB. Where artifacts might be found.C. How artifacts can be reproduced.D. What objects should be searched for.4. The word “drawings” in line 8 is closest in meaning to which of the following?A. DescriptionsB. SchedulesC. PhotographsD. Sketches5. According to the passage, archaeologists derive the most knowledgeabout previous civilizations from __?A. laboratory analysis of the artifacts they findB. discussions with their colleagues out at the siteC. observation of the work carried out at the siteD. notes they make during the excavationⅦ. Paraphrase:1. Russia has expanded its cargo-liner fleet far faster than the growth in either its own trade or world trade would justify.2. They make it harder to make a big killing in good times.3. The Colonel, who is not too offensively an Empire-builder, sometimes tries to talk to me about public affairs.4. I want my fill of beauty before I go.答案1-1: /答案:D1-2: /答案:A1-3: /答案:B1-4: /答案:A1-6: /答案:D 1-7: /答案:D 1-8: /答案:A 1-9: /答案:B 1-10: /答案:C 1-11: /答案:D 1-12: /答案:C 1-13: /答案:A 1-14: /答案:A 1-15: /答案:B 1-16: /答案:A 1-17: /答案:C 1-18: /答案:B 1-19: /答案:B 1-20: /答案:D 1-21: /答案:A 1-22: /答案:D 1-23: /答案:A 1-24: /答案:D 1-25: /答案:B 1-26: /答案:C 1-27: /答案:A 1-28: /答案:D 1-29: /答案:B 1-30: /答案:D 1-31: /答案:A 1-32: /答案:A 1-33: /答案:C 1-34: /答案:B 1-35: /答案:D 1-36: /答案:B 1-37: /答案:A 1-38: /答案:D 1-39: /答案:C 1-40: /答案:B 6-A-1: /答案:A 6-A-2: /答案:C 6-A-3: /答案:C 6-A-4: /答案:A 6-A-5: /答案:C 6-A-6: /答案:B 6-B-1: /答案:D 6-B-2: /答案:B6-B-4: /答案:D 6-B-5: /答案:A 2-1: /答案: rue2-2: /答案:navy2-3: /答案:grab2-4: /答案:fleet2-5: /答案:permanent2-6: /答案:deficit2-7: /答案:elbow2-8: /答案:stake2-9: /答案:launch2-10: /答案:boom2-11: /答案:peak2-12: /答案:towel2-13: /答案:revenue2-14: /答案:capture2-15: /答案:lane2-16: /答案:respective.3-1: /答案:ventured3-2: /答案:lounging3-3: /答案:impart3-4: /答案:serenity3-5: /3-6: /答案:indolence3-7: /答案:quirks3-8: /答案: compliment3-9: /答案:beguile3-10: /答案:relaxation4-1: /答案: bent on4-2: /答案:dominates4-3: /答案:cash in on4-4: /答案:dignified4-5: /答案:pinched4-6: /答案:run4-7: /答案:inroads4-8: /答案:something of4-9: /答案:hold on to4-10: /答案:laid down4-11: /答案:justifies4-12: /答案:diversify4-13: /答案:has an eye for 4-14: /答案:did...take to4-15: /答案:into the bargain 4-16: /答案:relieved4-17: /4-18: /答案:cramming4-19: /答案:save4-20: /答案:to the exclusion 4-21: /答案:as far as4-22: /答案:with a vengeance 5-1: /答案:trouble5-2: /答案:meet5-3: /答案:with5-4: /答案:without5-5: /答案:less5-6: /答案:which5-7: /答案:brought5-8: /答案:them5-9: /答案:tell5-10: /答案:final5-11: /答案:in5-12: /答案:being5-13: /答案:legally5-14: /答案:protest5-15: /答案:against5-16: /答案:Therefore5-17: /5-18: /答案:further5-19: /答案:fact5-20: /答案:otherwise。

I oblige them; they do the same for me, like letting me know what gives, an’ where.”VI. Reading Comprehension (20%)Passage (A) (from “A Woman Like Me” by Xi Xi)A woman like me is actually unsuitable for any man’s love. So the fact that the emotional involvement between Xia and me has reached this point fills even me with wonder. I feel that the blame for my having fallen into this trap, from which there is no escape, rests solely with Fate, which has played a cruel trick on me. I am totally powerless to resist Fate. I’ve heard others say that when you truly like someone what may be nothing more than an innocent smile directed your way as you sit quietly in a corner can cause your very soul to take wing. That’s exactly how I feel about Xia. So when he asked me: Do you like me? I expressed my feelings toward him without holding back a thing. I’m a person who has no concept of self-收集于网络,如有侵权请联系管理员删除protection, and my words and deeds will always conspire to make me a laughing stock in the eyes of others. Sitting in a coffee shop with Xia, I had the appearance of a happy person, but my heart was filled with a hidden sorrow; I was so terribly unhappy because I knew where Fate was about to take me, and now the fault would be mine alone. I made a mistake at the very beginning by agreeing to accompany Xia on a trip to visit a schoolmate he hadn’t seen for a long time, then later on, by not declining any of his invitations to g o to the movies. It’s too late for regret now, and, besides, the difference between regretting and not regretting is too slight to be important, since at this very moment I am sitting in the corner of a coffee shop waiting for him. I agreed to show him where I work, and that will be the final chapter. I had already been out of school for a long time when I first met Xia, so when he asked me if I had a job, I told him that I had been working for several years.What sort of job do you have?He asked.I’m a c osmetician. I said.Oh, a cosmetician. He remarked.But your face is so natural. He said.1.The author’s attitude toward mistakes and regret is thatA. one should try to avoid mistakes.B. she thinks about her mistakes often and regrets them.C. mos t of her mistakes were not her fault but Xia’s fault.D. she made mistakes and she must move on.2.The author says she has “no concept of self-protection” becauseA. she is a daredevil who takes risks throughout life.B. she told Xia about the way she felt about him without restraint.C. she is telling the reader about her relationship with Xia.D. she never learned how to keep herself safe.3.The dialogue at the end of the passage does not use quotation marks primarily toA. show that the dialogue is ironic.B. show that the author and Xia used quiet voices when talking.C. show the surprise Xia had when he learned the author is acosmetician.收集于网络,如有侵权请联系管理员删除D. show that the dialogue is in the author’s head instead of reallyhappening.4.The implied meaning o f Xia’s response “But your face is so natural” means thatA. Xia believes the author has a beautiful face.B. Xia cannot believe the author uses beauty products.C. Xia does not see the author’s real feelings.D. Xia thinks that the author is a humble woman.Passage (B) (from an article by Linton Weeks) Americans are fascinated by pirates: swashbuckling, salt-soaked seafarers who sport blousy shirts, spiffy vests, leather boots, eye patches, peg legs and the occasional parrot on the shoulder. There is romance in burying booty marked by a bloody X on a map and in making enemies walk the plank.There is something so timeless about piratical behavior — living the lawless life, stealing from the rich, sticking it to "The Man."Now come the Somali pirates, parading through the news: neo-buccaneers from the Horn of Africa wreaking unholy havoc on international shipping lanes. The Somali pirates have hijacked more than a dozen ships and crews, including a Saudi Arabia-owned supertanker laden with crude oil. They want $10 million in ransom for the tanker. That will buy one big bottle of rum. And, arguably, make pirate-lovers think twice.There's a proliferation of piracy around the world. Pillagers and plunderers ply the waters of the planet, mostly in the lower latitudes — off the coasts of northern South America, on either side of Africa and throughout Asian seas — attacking hundreds of vessels every year.The motivations for present-day pirates, says Donald G. Shomette, author of Pirates on the Chesapeake, are the same socioeconomic forces that have driven people to become pirates for centuries."Piracy is pretty much on the lowest end of the food chain in terms of morals and law and everything else," Shomette says. "Pirates come from the bottom end of the societal order. It's a chance for people who have no chance of advancement to advance. It's a way out."And therein lies the allure, for those who are poor and have nothing —and for those who are rich and have seen all three Pirates of the Caribbean movies.收集于网络,如有侵权请联系管理员删除"The outlaw, the bad guy is almost always the most interesting character in a story," says Shomette.

The study appears in this month’s issue of The Journal of Law and Economics.“There is not a lot of evidence that overweight kids are more likely to watch TV than other kids,” said Michael Grossman, professor of economics at the City University of New York. “We’re arguing the causality is how many messages are aired -- seeing more of these messages is leading people to put on weight.” The study’s co-authors are Shin-Yi Chou, an收集于网络,如有侵权请联系管理员删除economist at Lehigh College, and Inas Rashad, an economist at Georgia State University.But the researchers’ estimate relies on older data gathered in the late 1990s, according to Elaine Kolish, a spokesman for the Council of Better Business Bureaus. Since then, two of the largest fast food chains -- Burger King and McDonald’s -- and more than a dozen other packaged food companies have signed on to the council’s Children’s Food and B everage Advertising Initiative, she said, pledging to advertise only their healthier products to children under age 12.As a result, both Burger King and McDonald’s now air ads for children’s meals including apple sticks and low-fat milk. “I can’t help th ink that two huge chains advertising apples and milk to kids is going to be affecting children’s preferences,” Ms. Kolish said.Kelly Brownell, director of Yale University’s Rudd Center for Food Policy, said reliable estimates of television’s impact on childhood obesity are hard to calculate because of the many assumptions statisticians must make. "That said, food marketing is a blight on the landscape of our children and has been shown time and again to have a negative impact," he added.Only three countries -- Sweden, Norway and Finland -- have banned commercial sponsorship of children’s pr ograms, and study authors acknowledged that the chances of such a ban in the U.S. are slim.8.The researchers argue that commercials are dangerous to childrenbecauseA.of the content of the ads.B.of the number of ads shown.C.of the images in the ads.D.of the number of obese children who watch TV.9.In paragraph 6, Mr. Brownell’s attitude toward food marketing onchildren isA.pessimistic: he sees these ads as dangerous to children.B.neutral: he doesn’t see these ads influencing children.收集于网络,如有侵权请联系管理员删除精品文档C.optimistic: he sees benefits to children through the ads.D.hopeful: he thinks that these ads will enhance children’s mentalcapacities.10.The main findings of the economists’ study are thatA.children who watch TV in the US become obese by 14-18 %.B.without fast-food TV ads on TV, between 15-20 % of children inthe US would be less fat.C.fast food restaurants are trying to increase commercials onchildren’s shows by 14-18 %.D.14-18 % of US children and teens who watch TV are fat.VII.

Reading Comprehension (20%)(A)(from a short story by Mishima Yukio)(1) He was always busy, Toshiko’s husband. Even tonight he had to dash off to an appointment, leaving her to go home alone by taxi. But what else could a woman expect when she married an actor—an attractive one? No doubt she had been foolish to hope that he would spend the evening with her. And yet he must have known how she dreaded going back to their house, unhomely with its Western-style furniture and with the bloodstains still showing on the floor.(2) Toshiko had been oversensitive since girlhood: that was her nature. As the result of constant worrying she never put on weight, and now, an adult woman, she looked more like a transparent picture than a creature of flesh and blood. Her delicacy of spirit was evident to her most casual acquaintance.(3) Earlier that evening, when she had joined her husband at a night club, she had been shocked to find him entertaining friends with an account of “the incident.” Sitting there in his American-style suit, puffing at a cigarette, he had seemed to her almost a stranger.(4) “It’s a fantastic story,” he was saying, gesturing flamboyantly as if in an attempt to outweigh the attractions of the dance band. “He re this newnurse for our baby arrives from the employment agency, and the very first thing I notice about her is her stomach. It’s enormous—as if she had a pillow stuck under her kimono! No wonder, I thought, for Isoon saw that she could eat more than the rest of us put together. She polished off the contents of our rice bin like that…” He snapped his fingers. “‘Gastric dilation’—that’s how she explained her girth and her appetite. Well, the day before yesterday we heard groans and moans coming from the nursery. We rushed in and found her squatting on the floor, holding her stomach in her two hands, and moaning like a cow. Next to her our baby lay in his cot, scared out of his wits and crying at the top of his lungs. A pretty scene, I can tell you!”(5) “So the cat was out of the bag?” suggested one of their friends, a film actor like Toshiko’s husband.1.Based on the passage, what kind of attitude do you think Toshiko holdstoward America and the West?(A) She envies the culture of the West.(B) She married her husband because he is often like an American.(C) The idea of the West makes her uncomfortable.(D) Toshiko finds American and Western things mysterious.2.In paragraph 4, “gesturing flamboyantly” means that Toshiko’shusband_____(A) Smiles broadly.(B) Explains his story with large hand movements.(C) Is calling a waiter to his table to order food and drink.(D) Looks drunk and silly.3.In paragraph 4, “She polished off the contents of our rice bin like that”means_____(A) The nurse did not like the rice and left it alone.(B) The nurse cleaned the rice bin very well.(C) The nurse cooked all of the rice in one day.(D) The nurse ate quickly and finished everything.4.In the last paragraph, “So the cat was out of the bag?” refers to_____(A) The nurse losing all of her weight.(B) The baby screaming in the cot.(C) The moaning and groaning sounds coming from the nurse.(D) The nurse’s secret was discovered.5.Which of the following represents an appropriate title for this passage?(A) An Unhappy Marriage(B) The Nurse’s Secret(C) Toshiko’s Husband(D) A Very Fat NurseReading Comprehension (B)“WHAT are Papa and I doing here?”These words, instant-messaged by my mother in a suburb of Washington, D.C., whizzed through the deep-ocean cables and came to me in the village where I’m now living, in the country that she left.It was five years ago that I left America to come live and work in India. Now, in our family and among our Indian-American friends, other children of immigrants are exploring motherland opportunities. As economies convulse in the West and jobs dry up, the idea is spreading virally in émigréhomes.Which raises a heart-stirring question: If our parents left India and trudged westward for us, if they manufactured from scratch a new life there for us, if they slogged, saved, sacrificed to make our lives lighter than theirs, then what does it mean when we choose to migrate to the place they forsook?If we are here, what are they doing there?They came of age in the 1970s, when the “there” s eemed paved with possibility and the “here” seemed paved with potholes. As a young trainee, my father felt frustrated in companies that awarded roles based on age, not achievement. He looked at his bosses, 20 years ahead of him in line, and concluded that he didn’t want to spend his life becoming them.My parents married in India and then embarked to America on a lonely, thrilling adventure. They learned together to drive, shop in malls, paint a house. They decided who and how to be. They kept reinventing themselves, discarding the invention, starting anew. My father became a management consultant, an entrepreneur, a human-resources executive, then a Ph.D. candidate. My mother began as a homemaker, learned ceramics, became a ceramics teacher and then the head of the art department at one of Washington’s best schools.It was extraordinary, and ordinary: This is what America did to people, what it always has done.My parents brought us to India every few years as children. I relished time with relatives; but India always felt alien, impenetrable, frozen.Perhaps it was the survivalism born of scarcity: the fierce pushing to get off the plane, the miserliness even of the rich, the obsession with doctors and engineers and the neglect of all others. Perhaps it was the bureaucracy, the need to know someone to do anything. Or the culture shock of servitude: a child’s horror at reading “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” in an American middle school, then seeing servants slapped and degraded in India.My firsthand impression of India seemed to confirm the rearview immigrant myth of it: a land of impossibilities. But history bends and swerves, and sometimes swivels fully around.India, having fruitlessly pursued command economics, tried something new: It liberalized, privatized, globalized. The economy boomed, and hope began to course through towns and villages shackled by fatalism and low expectations.America, meanwhile, floundered. In a blink of history came 9/11, outsourcing, Afghanistan, Iraq, Katrina, rising economies, rogue nuclear nations, climate change, dwindling oil, a financial crisis.Pessimism crept into the sunniest nation. A vast majority saw America going astray. Books heralded a “Post-American World.” Even in the wake of a historic presidential election, culminating in a dramatic change in direction, it remained unclear whether the United States could be delivered from its woes any time soon.“In the U.S., there’s a crisis of confidence,” said Nandan Nilekani, co-chairman of Infosys Technologies, the Indian software giant. “In India,” he added, “for the first time after decades or centuries, there is a sense of optimism about the future, a sense that our children’s futures can be better than ours if we try hard enough.”My love for the country of my birth has never flickered. But these new times piqued interest in my ancestral land. Many of us, the stepchildren of India, felt its change of spirit, felt the gravitational force of condensed hope. And we came.6.The authortells his parents’ story as a way to______(A) demonstrate that they had lived a typical American-immigrant life.(B) demonstrate their love of America and why they will not return toIndia.(C) demonstrate the difference between his own and his parents’American experiences.(D) demonstrate the changes of the American economy over 50 years.7.In paragraph 3, “dry up,” means_______(A) the quality of jobs is decreasing.(B) the demand for jobs is decreasing.(C) jobs in the West are decreasing their salaries.(D) jobs in the West are not as exciting as those elsewhere.8.As a child, the author found India alienating because______(A) the book Uncle Tom’s Cabin revealed and criticized the corruption ofIndia’s society.(B) although he looked Indian, his background was American and hedidn’t speak the local language.(C) the choice between doctors and lawyers as a way to be higher insociety was foreign to him.(D) the lack of choice in the established system completely opposed whathe knew in America.9.The author’s main feeling toward America is_______(A) hopelessness.
