AFor thousands of years, the most important two buildings in any British village have been the church and the pub. Traditionally, the church and the pub are at the heart of any village or town, where the people gather together to socialize and exchange news.As a result, British pubs are often old and well preserved. Many of them have become historic sites. Th e most famous example is the pub in the city of Nottingham called “The Old Trip to Jerusalem”, which dates back to the year 1189 AD and is probably the oldest pub in England.However, British pubs are not just for kings and queens; they welcome people from all classes and parts of society. On a cold night, the pub’s landlord or landlady can always find a warm place for you by the fire. There is always honest and hearty food and plenty of drink available at an affordable price.That’s how things used to be. Things are beginning to change. It is said that the credit crunch (信贷紧缩) is causing 39 British pubs a week to go out of business. People do not have enough spare money to spend on beer. Recently, the UK government banned smoking in all pubs, and that may also have affected the number of customers going to pubs.This decline is happening despite the fact that in 2005 the UK government started to allow pubsto stay open after 1l pm. Previously, with 1l pm as closing time, customers would have to drink quite quickly, meaning they sometimes got more drunk than they would if allowed to drink slowly. The British habit of drinking a lot very quickly is known as “binge drinking”, and it causes long-term health problems for people and problems with violent crime for communities.In order to save their businesses, pubs are trying to change with the market. British pubs now offer something for everyone. A lot of pubs used to be “Working Men's Clubs”, meaning that women could not usually enter. Today, however, women can freely enter 99% of pubs without experiencing any problems. Perhaps things are changing for the better after all.21. This passage is mainly about _______.A. the past and present of British pubsB. the decline of British pubsC. the long history of British pubsD. the importance of British pubs22. Which may not be the cause of the decline of British pubs?A. The credit crunch.B. The ban of smoking.C. The present closing time.D. Having no spare money.23. We can infer from the passage that _______.A. British people used to like drinking slowlyB. closing the pubs early will reduce social problemsC. binge drinking means drinking less beerD. British government aims to discourage people from binge drinking24. We can see from the last paragraph that the author _______.A. is against the admission of too many women to the pubsB. holds an optimistic attitude towards the British pubsC. thinks that women in the pubs will cause fewer social problemsD. thinks that British pubs should offer everything you needBI am 26. I’m clear that I’m never going to catch up with Mother Teresa. But I want to do something to help people every single day like her.Everybody thinks we just serve food and soda. The safety training is serious and stressful. Caring for 49 people in a business class in 90 minutes is not easy. I had a roommate who was a waitress; she just left a candle and a table cloth burning, and I used a fire extinguisher (灭火器) to put out the fire. If something goes bad at her job, she calls the police. But if something happens up in the air, it’s up to us.I’m single and have no kids. I’ve flown ev ery Christmas since 1995. If I fly, someone el se can be with their kids. Christmas in an airport c an be depressing, but it’s the little things that make a difference.We’re not robots. It’s hard to put on a smile and just pretend everything is great when it isn’t. I’ve seen co-workers lose a family member the day before a trip and just pull themselves together (take control of their feelings and behave in a calm way). At the end of a 14-hour flight, it’s like, “It was really nice to help you, but I’m ready for you to get off the plane.” Those last 15 minutes can be the longest 15 minutes of your life. Y ou can’t wait to turn off the flight attendant’s voice and get something to eat without anyone saying “Excuse me.”Sometimes I go all day and never hear a “please” or a “thank you.” When you say thank you, it’s huge. It makes us feel like you actually see us as fellow humans. We’re up there together at a height of 30,000 feet, enjoying the miracle (奇迹) of the modern flight.25. What’s the author’s attitude towards Mother Teresa?A. Grateful.B. Fearful.C. Doubtful.D. Admiring.26. How did the author l ike her roommate’s job?A. It was the same as hers.B. It was more interesting than hers.C. It was easier than hers.D. It was more serious than hers.27. Why does th e author fly every Christmas?A. Because she has nowhere to go.B. Because she’s trying to be a helpful co-worker.C. Because she owes her co-workers some favors.D. Because she’d like to earn more money.28. What does the author imply by saying the underlined sentence “We’re not robots”?A. Flight attendants are not stronger than robots.B. Flight attendants also experience emotions.C. Flight attendants get tired while robots don’t.D. Flight attendants need to rest now and then.CWhile you may think that being smart and talented would logically make someone successful in running a business, unfortunately, this is often not the case.This problem starts back in school when the stressful “group projects” are first assigned .The smartest don’t want to risk their grade in the class by dividing the work equally and hoping that a n average student does his part well. They just take over and do the whole project themselves.And thus begins the smart-people work cycle. The smartest people do just about everything better than most everyone else until it comes to running a business. They are not better; they are screwed(束缚).A smart person who can’t stand someone else doing a job badly does everything himself. Then, he is stuck with the one-man band “job-business” and ends up not being able to grow. However, it is quite interesting and strange that some slackers(偷懒的人) are better suited to be a business leader than the “smart” people. They figured out early on to surround themselves with smart people who would do the work that they themselves don’t want to do.Smart and talented people often have a gift for the unusual, complicated or different. They don’t like to follow the KISS principle (keep it simple, stupid), which is required to make a business succeed. Maybe you think the global presence of McDonald’s complex, but in fact, in the compa ny, every single task is broken down into easy-to-follow steps and everything has been standardized. These successful companies have just a few smart enough people to run the majority of the tasks in a way that can’t be screwed up by their average employee s. So, being smart or talented isn’t going to help you unless you can use your talent to figure out a way to simplify those tasks that will make a business successful.Another issue with the smart people starting businesses is that they often have the most to lose. The smarter you are, the more choices you have available to you. You will be able to make a lot of money in various fields and have room in your career to become promoted. This means that when you start a business, you have a lot more to risk than those who are not equally smart. This is often referred to as the “golden handcuffs” dilemma.So, don’t be surprised when the person “MOST Likely to Succeed” from high school ends up as an employee and it is one average student that finds success in his or her own business.29. In group work, smart students often take over the whole project because they believe ______.A. the work is not divided equallyB. they can perform better than othersC. the group projects are too stressfulD. average students are unwilling to take part30. McDonald’s is used as an example to prove that ______.A. a business calls for smart people’s talentB. average employees can perform complex tasksC. smart people are important for a successful businessD. simplified tasks are required for the success of a business31. The underlined expression in Paragraph 5 refers to the situation where smart people ______.A. have fewer choices in a companyB. risk more when starting businessC. are unwilling to put money to a businessD. can have a good income in many different fields32. What is the best title for the passage?A. Potentials for SuccessB. Bases for BusinessC. The Ordinary Achieve Bigger Success?D. Talent Means Successful Business?DAlone in the wilderness. Nothing but jungle. A world of shadow with the rays of light falling like blonde hair from the crowns of the giant trees. Jungle in the midday sun. Everything motionless. Not a sound from sky or earth. Complete silence. Only some coconuts falling, at long intervals, very far away. The world reduced to the soft touch of cool grass along my naked back, and a sweet smell of rich soil and vegetation. Stretched out with closed eyes beside my heavy burden of fruit and firewood, I enjoyed the feeling of fresh blood streaming through every part of my body and fresh jungle air filling every corner of my lungs.Resting motionless, I could see the sun through my closed eyelids, alone in the sky, as lonely as I, and as motionless and silent as everything else. The earth had surely stopped turning and somewhere on this planet there was supposed to be roaring traffic in busy streets. What a crazy, unbelievable thought!Another coconut fell, to make the world come to a complete standstill. I had to roll over onto my stomach to feel that at least I could move and make noises. Then I found company. A little brown ant was struggling to find its way with a bit of dry straw through the jungle of leaves and grass below my nose. I wondered if I could give the little fellow a lift with its burden, but it showed not the slightest sign of tiredness and struggled on with all six legs, head first or head last, waving its feelers energetically as if the trip had just started. Who ever saw a tired ant? Tiredness, disagreeable tiredness, is restricted to hunted animals, slaves and modern man. It is as great an effort for an office clerk to walk five blocks with a loaded brief-case as it is for a jungle-dweller to cross a valley with a goat on his back. It is as hard to get up and climb or run when you have been seated for years as it is to get up and walk when you have been in bed for months. The body is strange. Spare it, and you get really tired for almost nothing; use it, and almost nothing makes you really tired.I rose to my feet. I had heard a horse neighing down in the valley. Above me, on the open highland plains, there were wild horses. But down in the valley there was never a horse unless there was a man on it. Somebody was making his way up the valley and my wife was alone.33. The author mentions coconuts’ falling to .A. show his lonelinessB. add beauty to the jungleC. express his love of natureD. stress the absolute silence34. What’s the right order of the following vents?a. I heard a horse neighing down in the valley.b. I went to the jungle.c. I found an ant carrying a bit of dry straw.d. I lay on the ground to have a break.e. I picked fruits and chopped firewood.A. b, c, e, a, dB. e, c, b, d, aC. b, e, d, c, aD. e, d, c, b, a35. How does the author feel about the ant?A. He admired its attitude toward work.B. He was amazed at its tireless efforts.C. He showed sympathy for the little ant.D. He was content to have it as a companion.36. It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author would probably .A. work harder than beforeB. talk to the man on the horseC. make his way homeD. stay in the valley37. We can learn from the passage that the author .A. enjoyed being aloneB. experienced a world of quietnessC. missed his busy life in the cityD. had an unforgettable adventure第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 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，选项中有两项为多余选项。
