Passage OneAll the housewives who went to the new supermarket had one great ambition: to b e the lucky customer who did not have to pay for her shopping. For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said: “Remember, once a week, on e of our customers gets free goods. T his May Be Your Lucky Day!”For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky c ustomer. Unlike her friends, she never gave up hoping. The cupboards in kitchen w ere full of things which she did not need. Her husband tried to advise her against buying things but failed. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the superm arket would approach her and say: “Madam, this is Your Lucky Day. Everything in y our basket is free.”One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her c ar, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea. She dashed back to the supe rmarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk. As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her. “Madam,” he said, holding out hi s hand,“I want to congratulate you! You are our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free!”61.

Mrs. Edwards must have been ________.A. pleasedB. delightedC. proudD. disappointedPassage TwoDeep inside a mountain near Sweetwater in East. Tennessee is a body of water kn own as the Lost Sea. It is listed by the Guinness Book of Would Records as the w orld’s largest un derground lake. The Lost Sea is part of an extensive and historic ca ve system called Craighead Caverns.The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indian nati on. The cave expands into a series of huge rooms from a small opening on the sid e of the mountain. Approximately one mile from the entrance, in a room called “Th e Council Room,” many Indian artisfacts have been found. Some of the items discovered include pottery, arrowheads, weapons, and jewelry.For many years there were persistent rumors of a large underground lake somewhe re in a cave, but it was not discovered until 1905. In that year, a thirteen-year-old boy named Ben Sands crawled through a small opening three hundred feet underg round. He found himself in a large cave half filled with water.Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glass-bottomed boats p owered by electric motors. More than thirteen acres of water have been mapped ou t so far and still no end to the lake has been found. Even though teams of divers have tried to explore the Lost Sea, the full extent of it is still unknown.66. The Lost Sea is unique because it is ________.A. part of a historical cave systemB. the biggest underground lake in the worldC. listed in the Guinness Book of World RecordsD. the largest body of water in Tennessee67. The Craighead Caverns have been known ________.A. through historyB. since the time of the Indian nationsC. since 1905D. since divers explored them68. Who located the Lost Sea in recent times?A. The Cherokee Indians.B. Tourists.C. Ben Sands.D. Scientists.69. What was found in “The Council Room”?A. A small natural opening.B. A large cave.C. Another series of rooms.D. Many old Indian objects.70. It can be inferred from the passage that the Craighead Caverns presently serve as ____.A. an underground testing siteB. an Indian meeting groundC. a tourist attractionD. a motor boat race coursePassage ThreeGenerations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one life’s essentials. Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starti ng a trip.But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 a nd 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast, increased by 33 percent.For those who feel pain of guilt about not eating breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. “Going without breakf ast doe s not affect performance,” said Arrold E. Bender, former professor of the nutrition a t Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve per formance.”Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisi ngly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children, not adults, “The lit erature”, says one researcher, Dr. Erresto at the University of Texas, “is poor”.71. The latest year for which figures could be obtained is _______.A. the year the author wrote the articleB. 1977C. any year between 1997 and 1983D. 198372. For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that _______.A. several studies have been done in the past few yearsB. the omission of breakfast doe s no harm to one’s healthC. adults have especially made studies in this fieldD. eating little in the morning is good for health73. “…nor does giving people breakfast improve performance” means ______.A. anyone without breakfast does improve his performanceB. not giving people breakfast improve performanceC. having breakfast does not improve performance, eitherD. people having breakfast do improve their performance74. The word “literature” in the last sentence refers to _______.A. stories, poems, plays, etc.B. written works on a particular subjectC. any printed materialD. the modern literature of America75. What is implied but NOT stated by the author is that _______.A. breakfast does not affect performanceB. Dr. Erresto is engaged in research work at an institution of higher learningC. not eating breakfast might affect the health of childrenD. Professor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in LondonPassage FourAbout 35% of all high school graduates in America continue their education in an i nstitution of higher learning. The word college is used to refer to either a college o r a university. These institutions offer four-year programs that lead to a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor Science (B.S.) degree. Some students attend a junior colleg e (providing only a two-year program) for one to two years before entering a four-year college as a sophomore (二年级生) or junior (三年级生).It is generally easier to be accepted at a state university than at a private one. Mo st private schools require strict entrance examinations and a high grade point avera ge (GPA), as well as specific college prep classes in high school. Private schools cos t considerably more than state colleges and famous private schools are very expensi ve. Poorer students can sometimes attend, however, by earning scholarships. Some college graduates go on to earn advanced masters or doctoral degrees in grad (gra duate) school. Occupations in certain fields such as law or medicine require such ad vanced studies.Since college costs are very high, most students work at part-time jobs. Some have full-time jobs and go to school part-time. Often some will take five or more years to complete a four-year program because of money / job demands on their time. While the college and work demands take up the great part of a student’s time, m ost still enjoy social activities. Sports, dances, clubs, movies, and plays are all very popular. However, gathering together for long, philosophical talks at a favorite meeti ng place on or near the university is probably the most popular activity.76. College education is _______ in America.A. quite commonB. very rareC. something difficultD. almost impossible77. Which of the following is NOT required for entering most private schools.A. entrance examinationsB. taking part in many activitiesC. GPAD. college prep classes78. How can poor students attend private schools?A. Only by working at part-time jobs.B. Only by working at full-time jobs.C. Only by earning scholarships.D. All of above.79. The American college students like to _______ most of all.A. discuss problems on philosophyB. play ballsC. earn enough moneyD. go to the cinemas or theatres80. The best title for this passage is _______.A. Part-time jobsB. American collegeC. Popular activityD. A new systemⅤ. Writing (20 points)Directions:For this part, you are allowed 20 minutes to write a composition of about 80 words according to the following topic.金钱是一切吗?(Is Money Everything?)。

Cloze (20 points)In the course of the first half of the twentieth century, the United States made the shift from coal to oil. In 1900 the energy 61 from burning petroleum in the United States was only 4 percent of 62 obtained from burning coal. By the time World War Ⅱwas 63 , we Americans were getting more of our 64 from oil and natural gas than from coal, 65 the balance shifting farther in 66 of oil and gas each year. Oil, 67 liquid, is much more convenient to mine, transport, and use, than coal is : 68 more. The switch to oil in the United States meant that energy was much more easily 69 . Electricity poured out of the nation’s generators in an endlessly increasing stream 70 we began to live in a world 71 which all the controls were at our fingertips, 72 to speak. And why not? The real 73 of the pools of oil 74 under the Middle East only became known after World War Ⅱand we all received the impression of a hitherto-unknown ocean of oil 75 for the taking. 76 a few heady years we used all we 77 ,more and more and more, and it seemed to us that the supply was so great that we could 78 thoughts of a possible end 79 some indefinite future.

Reading Comprehension (40 points)( A )Shyness is the cause of much unhappiness for a great many people. Shy people are anxious and self-conscious; that is, they are excessively concerned with their own appearance and actions. Worrisome thoughts are constantly occurring in their minds: What kind of impression am I making? Do they like me? Do I sound stupid? Am I wearing unattractive clothes?It is obvious that such uncomfortable feelings must affect people adversely. A person’s self-concept is reflected in the way he or she behaves, and the way a person behaves affects other people’s reactions. In general, the way people think about themselves has a profound effect on all areas of their lives.Shy people, having low self-esteem(尊重),are likely to be passive and easily influenced by others. They need reassurance that they are doing “the right thing.”Shy people are very sensitive to criticism; they feel it confirms their inferiority. They also find it difficult to be pleaded by compliments(恭维) because they believe they are unworthy of praise. A shy person may respond to a compliment with a statement like this one: ”You’re just saying that to make me feel good. I know it’s not true.”It is clear that, while self-awareness is a healthy quality, overdoing it is harmful.Can shyness be completely eliminated, or at least reduced? Fortunately, people can overcome shyness with determined and patient effort in building self-confidence. Since shyness goes hand in hand with lack of self-esteem, it is important for people to accept their weaknesses as well as their strengths. For example, most people would like to be “A”students in every subject. It is not fair for them to label themselves inferior because they have difficulty in some areas. People’s expectations of themselves must be realistic. Living on the impossible leads to a sense of inadequacy.81.The topic of the first paragraph is that __________.A) shyness often results from misfortunesB) people are unhappy often because they are shyC) shyness can be reflected on the clothes wornD)--people who are shy have self-consciousness82.The word “adversely”(Line 1, Para. 2) can be best replaced by _______.A) in public B) constantly C) unrealistically D) unfavorably83. According to the writer, a person’s comfortable feelings always depend on ___________.A) the reactions from others5B) his own self-awarenessC) all areas in his lifeD) the way he behaves84. Which of the following can NOT be used to describe a shy person?A) He is likely to be inactive and yielding.B) He has no confidence in himself.C) He is unworthy of any praise.D) He is over-sensitive to remarks about him85. Which of the following is NOT included in the passage?A)--Too much self-consciousness proved to be harmful to our personality.B) Self-awareness can never be divorced from self-confidence.C) Shy people welcome criticisms from others but never accept them.D) Shy people should have an objective analysis of their abilities.( B )A century ago, most families relied on income from agriculture. Today over half of all labor is in white ―collar occupations ―a category that includes doctors, lawyers, teachers, managers, and sales and clerical(文秘)workers. Employment in blue-collar work (assembly lines and construction are examples) and, especially, farming has declined over the years.The most dramatic change in labor markets over the past few decades has been the surge(激增)of women into the labor force. In the 1950s,only one woman in three worked outside the home, more than half hold jobs today, and 44 percent of all workers are mothers with small children. Even more remarkable is the threefold increase in working mothers with small children.Several theories have been advanced to explain these changes. A revolution of rising expectations about living standards propelled many women into the work force that might have been housewives in an early era.Legal reforms and changing attitudes about women’s work roles have opened doors to careers that were previously closed. The flight from the worst types of household hard work was facilitated by such innovations as washers and dryers, microwave oven, and permapress(耐久压烫)clothing .Options to postpone children and control family size have been made available by cheap and effective birth control ,also increasing women’s labor force participation rates.These changes have not occurred in a vacuum. The labor force participation rates of men fell slightly over this same period, partially because more young men are going to college, while mature men have typically been retiring at earlier ages.86.According to the passage, more than fifty percent of the working people used to be__________A)blue- collar workers6B)white- collar workersC)mothers with childrenD)married females87.Which of the following cannot account for the rise of women’s participation rates?A)The relief of housework by virtue of wide use of electric appliancesB)Highly effective and generally acceptable methods of family planningC)Legal support for and changed opinions about women’s work rolesD)The rise of modern living standards because of the introduction of automation88.As more and more women go out to work,_________A)--the labor force participation rates of men fall dramaticallyB)--higher and higher living standards are desired and pursuedC)--they spend less and less time on child care than ever beforeD)--there are more and more mature men who are made unemployed89.The passage suggests that_________A)--women make up a large proportion of the labor force than menB)--most male employees retire at earlier ages than women doC)--changes are taking place in women’s economic statusD)--at present more than half of the employees in the labor force are mothers with small children90.Which of the following can be best sum up the passage?A)The change of lifestyle brought about by technological innovationsB)The changes in the labor force and their causesC)Women’s roles in white collar occupationsD)Social trends in the world of today(C)America’s national parks are like old friends. You may not see them for years at a time, but just knowing they’re out there makes you feel better. Hearing the names of these famous old friends ―Yosemite. Yellowstone, Grand Canyon ―revives memories of visits past and promotes dreams of those still to come.From Acadia to Zion, 369 national parks are part of continually evolving system. Ancient fossil beds. Revolutionary War battlefields, magnificent mountain ranges, and monuments to heroic men and women who molded this country are all a part of our National Park System (NPS). The care and preservation for future generations of these special places is entrusted to the National Park Service. Uniformed Rangers, the most visible representatives of the Service, not only offer park visitors a friendly wave, a helpful answer, or a thought―provoking (引人深思) history lessons, but also are skilled rescuers, firefighters, and dedicated resource protection professionals. The National Park Service ranks also include architects, historians,7archaeologists, biologists, and a host of other experts who preserve and protect everything from George Washington’s teeth to Thomas Edison’s wax recordings.Modern society has brought the National Park Service both massive challenges and enormous opportunities. Satellite and computer technologies are expanding the educational possibilities of a national park beyond its physical boundaries. Cities struggling to revive their urban cores are turning to the Park Service for expert assistance to preserve their cultural heritage(遗产),create pocket parks and green spaces, and re energize local economies. Growing communities thirsty for recreational outlets are also working with the NPS to turn abandoned railroad tracks into bike and hiking trails, as well as giving unused federal property new life as recreation centers.To help meet these challenges and take advantages of these opportunities, the National Park Service has formed partnerships—some dating back 100 years, some only months old—with other agencies, state and local governments, corporations, American India tribes and Alaska Natives, Park Friends Groups, cooperating associations, private organizations, community groups and individuals who share the National park ethic(观念).National Park Week 1996 is a celebration of these partnerships.91.In the passage, the National Parks are compared to old friends because both_________A) are old and famous B) are always out thereC) remind you of good memories D) makes your dreams come true92.American national parks are placed in the charge of________A)a host of heroes who sacrificed for the cause of the nationB)the federal governmentC)many experts who protect and preserve the heritageD)the National Park Service93.Which of the following is NOT true of uniformed rangers?A)They protect the National Park SystemB)They taking tourists to national parksC)They always act as tourist guidesD)They help set up new national parks94.The National Park Service performs all the following functions EXPECT __________A)offering help to visitorsB)keeping people better informed of the National Park SystemC)helping preserve the cultural heritageD)molding the Nation95.What will the paragraph following this passage most probably deal with?8A)The work that has been done by the partnershipsB)The preservation of national resources in AmericaC)The pocket parks in AmericaD)The preparations made for the celebration of National Park week 1996(D)Like most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting. It was not until in my late thirties that I made this important discovery giving-away makes life so much more exciting. You need not worry------if you lack money. This is how I experimented with giving-away. If an idea for improving the window display of neighborhood store flashes to me ,I step in and make the suggestion to the storekeeper. If an incident occurs, the story of which I think the local Catholic priest could see, I call him up and tell him about it, though I am not a Catholic myself.One discovery I made about giving away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back, though the return often comes in an unexpected form. One Sunday morning the local post office delivered an important special delivery letter to my home, though it was addressed to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation. More than a year later I needed a post-office box for a new business I was starting. I was told that there were no boxes left and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list. As I was about to leave, the postmaster appeared in the doorway. He had overheard our conversation. “Wasn’t it that you wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a speech delivery to your home?”I said it was. “Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to make one for you. You don’t know what a letter like that means to us. We usually get nothing but complaints.”96. We understand that _______.A. the author was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting in the same way as most peopleB. he liked most people who were brought up that wayC. most people were brought up that way, and the author was, tooD .he liked most people as they looked upon life in the same way97. At first the author looked upon life as a process of getting. He formed this view of life probably because_________.A. of most peopleB. he was similar to most people in looksC. of his early educationD. he was brought up to like most people98. The author makes the suggestion to the store-keeper _________.A. in writingB. in person9C. in the window displayD. about the neighborhood99. When the author needed a post-office box, ___________ .A. his name was put on a waiting listB. he wrote the postmaster a note of appreciationC. many had applied for post-office boxes before himD. he asked the postmaster to make one for him100. In reply to the postmaster’s question, the author said_________ .A. it was the special deliveryB .it was the post-office boxC. it was the note of appreciation he wroteD. it was heVI.

Then I made up my mind that one day I world be just like them-to go around the world.But, how could I realize it? Now it seems the best way is to be a tourist guide who can have so many chances to make free trips to almost anywhere in the world. How excellent it would be to see all the beautiful scenes all over the world-the vast prairie in Africa, the thick tropical forests in America, the crystal world in Antarctic, and so many other marvelous places! And, how interesting would it be to see people of different colors, to learn their native languages, to know their customs and habits, and to listen to their folk music, too!If only I could get my ideal job one day, I should say with content when I end my day, “What a wonderful life I have lived”.10。

The 22 was triple the previous record of £8 million paid in 1985 for Mantegna's Adoration of the Magi. At least ten bidders 23 for the painting, half 24 telephone, anonymously battling it out in leaps of £500,000. Van Gogh wrote in a letter of 1889 that one of these Scots or Americans 25 to pay 500 francs--about £25 at that time -- for 26 a painting.Christie's chairman 27 reporters after the sale, "it's a rare picture. " A spokesman for the firm added, "It's fantastic. " Not 28 who was at the auction agreed. One commented, " More money 29 sense.

Reading Comprehension (60 points)Directions: There are five reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by four questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose one best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.Passage OneTwo hundred years ago, American students went to American schools. Like you, they studied arithmetic, spelling and geography. Unlike you, they also studied Greek and Latin. In fact, students spent more than half their time studying Greek and Latin. The same was true for most students in Europe. Until the seventh century, all educated Europeans knew Latin. It did not matter if they lived in England or Italy or France or Spain. If they were educated, they knew Latin.During the seventh century, educated Europeans began to study Greek as well as Latin. Greek and Latin had been the leading languages of the ancient Greeks and Romans. All educated Europeans were expected to know these languages.To educated Europeans, the languages of the Greeks and the Romans were important. The ideas of the Greeks and Romans were also important. People knew that many of their own ideas had come from the Greeks and the Romans. To understand their own culture, they must understand its origin. They knew that those beginnings lay in the classical world.Today we have so many things to study that few people have time to learn Greek and Latin. Few of you will study either language in school. Yet the ideas of the Greeks and the Romans are still important to us. These ideas still help to shape Western culture today. To understand our own culture, we must understand the culture of the classical world.36. A good synonym for "origin" isA. peopleB. futureC. beginningD. culture37. According to this passage, all educated Europeans of the seventh century were expected to studyA. physical science and chemistryB. Greek and LatinC. democracy and communismD. French and Spanish38. Today, most of people won't study either Greek or Latin becauseA. they are no longer importantB. people do not have enough timeC. they are no longer existedD. people can not learn them well39. What can we conclude from this passage?A. Greeks and Romans significantly influenced European culture.B. The Greeks were the founders of democracy.C. The Greeks and Romans were bitter enemies.D. People of the classical world were barbaric and uneducated.Passage TwoWould you eat a bacon, lettuce and love apple sandwich'?. You probably have eaten many of them. Love apple was the name used many years ago for the tomato. The tomato is originally an American plant. It was found in South America by early Spanish explorers. The word tomato comes from the native Nahuatl word tomatl. But when it moved north, the plant earned a different name. Remarkably, the settlers in North America thought it was poisonous. They believed that to eat it was surely to die. It was said that deserted suitors would threaten to eat a tomato to cause their coldhearted lovers regret. Because of this legend, the settlers called the tomato a "love apple. " While people enjoyed other native plants such as corn and sweet potatoes, everyone avoided the tomato.No one knows who first dared to eat a tomato. Perhaps someone was brave enough, or lovesick enough, to try out the truth of the rumors. Of course, whoever ate this fruit was perfectly safe. No one died from eating a love apple. Still, it was many years before the people fully believed that the tomato was a safe, and even good food. But its use did become common, and the plant was sent across the ocean to become part of many traditional European dishes.40. The language from which we derived the word tomato isA. PortugueseB. SpanishC. NahuatlD. European41. North American people didn't eat tomatoes at first becauseA. they had too much other foodB. they mistakenly thought they were poisonousC. settlers ate only traditional European foodsD. no one liked the taste42. The underlined word "suitor" in the second paragraph meansA. boyfriendB. laundererC. tailorD. explorer43. A good title for this passage would beA. Life in Early AmericaB. What Happens to the BrokenheartedC. The History of the TomatoD. Vegetables in Our DietPassage ThreeNature has devised many ways to protect creatures' eyes. The most common protection is the eyelid--a fold of skin that closes over the eye, protecting it from damage. Eyelashes are useful for keeping out dust and other irritants, and tears wash away any particles that get through the other defenses.Some creatures, including most birds, have three eyelids. The upper and lower lids act like human lids and keep out twigs, dirt and sand. The third eyelid, however, is a semitransparent tissue that crosses over the eye from the inside corner to the outside corner. Because of this protective membrane, birds seldom have to blink. They close their eyes only when they go to sleep. In ducks, this third eyelid self as an underwater diving mask that helps the ducks find food.Most fish and snakes have no eyelids at all. Instead, a hard glassy covering protects their eyes. In fish, water constantly sweeps away dirt from the covering. And a snake's eyesight is usually so bad that a little dirt obscuring its vision does not disturb it greatly.Eyelashes defend the eye by shading it from glare. They also act like miniature brushes to remove dust. Camels have lashes that are four inches long to protect their eyes from windblown sand in the desert.44. A camel has long eyelashesA. to keep windblown sand out of its eyesB. that get in the way of its sightC. to help it see betterD. to attract other camels45. The writer implies that eyelids areA. not found on lizardsB. nice to look atC. always covered with eyelashesD. the most effective eye protection46. The author compares the duck's third eyelid to aA. tissueB. glassy coveringC. tiny brushD. diving mask47. A good title for this passage would beA. Look OutB. Birds' EyesC. Eyes in the NightD. Protecting the EyePassage FourAs part of an ongoing campaign against polyvinyl chloride (聚氯乙烯 ), a Virginia-basedenvironmental advocacy group today called on manufacturers and retailers to phase out its use in shower curtains. The Center for Health, Environment and Justice (CHEJ) , released the results of a small study indicating that PVC ( 聚氯乙烯)-containing shower curtains are capable of emitting scores of potentially harmful materials, into people's bathrooms. A previous study, conducted by Environmental Protection Agency researchers, also found that plastic shower curtains can emit toxic compounds into the air.There's still debate among scientists about just how serious the health effects are especially at low doses. However, CHEJ urges consumers to avoid using PVC shower curtains, as well as many other PVC products.For people who are concerned about their shower curtains, there are alternatives. IKEA phased out PVC shower curtains 11 years ago, switching to ethylene vinyl acetate (乙烯醋酸共聚物). The company has said that 88 percent of its shower curtains would be PVC free by spring of 2008.Manufacturers are not required to label shower curtains, but some do list" PVC" or" vinyl" on the packaging. Numerous online retailers, sell shower curtains--primarily cotton or hemp--that are free of PVC. However, mildew(发霉) can be a problem with cotton and hemp products.48. What did the study released by the Center for Health, Environment and Justice show?A. That PVC stands for polyvinyl chloride.B. Manufacturers are not required to label shower curtains.C. That most shower curtains sold at IKEA are made from PVC.D. That PVC shower curtains may release potentially harmful materials.49. What material are the shower curtains sold at IKEA made from?A. Ethylene vinyl acetate.B. Polyvinyl chloride.C. Cotton.D. PVC and EVA.50. What's the biggest problem with hemp and cotton shower curtains?A. They are see-through.B. They are too expensive.C. They may cause mildew.D. They emit harmful materials.51. Is it easy for consumers to tell that a shower curtain is made from PVC?A. Yes, that information is always on the shower curtain label.B. Not always, because shower curtains don't have to be labeled.C. Yes, but only if they're made by IKEA after 2008.D. No, because they only contain low doses of PVC.Passage FiveCompanies that employ illegal immigrants are to be named and shamed in a further attempt to crack down on people smuggling. The move by the Home Office comes four months after officials launched a concerted effort to identify and prosecute companies breaking the law. More than 200 companies have already been fined for hiring illegal labor. The Home Office says names of companies and directors are to be published on the UK Border Agency website. The agency will publish how many illegal immigrants the company was employing and how much it was fined.By May this year there had been 137 prosecutions under the new rules leading to fines totaling 500,000--almost 3,000 per firm. The total number of prosecutions was 10 times more than were carried out in 2007, and double the total for the previous decade.Immigration chiefs are also switching their focus from small-time illegal employers, such as takeaway restaurants, in an effort to major organized criminal enterprises supplying illegal labor, often relying on international networks to smuggle people into the UK.Some 7,500 immigration officers will be re-organized into more localized teams with police and customs officials in an effort to better target what the Home Office says are illegal working hotspots. These could include areas of the economy where there is a high demand for labor including agriculture, construction and hospitality. Nobody knows how many people are working without permission in the UK--although estimates put the number of illegal residents at more than 500,000.Trade Union leaders have also raised concerns about the government's strategy, arguing that it could drive the worst employers further underground, penalizing exceptionally poor workers unable to break out of a situation they did not necessarily choose.52. What has happened in the first four months of the campaign to crack down on companies hiring illegal workers?A. Nothing. The campaign is still in its beginning stage.B. 7,500 immigration officers will be re-organized into more localized teams.C. 200 companies have been fined.D. 3,000 small-time illegal employers have been cracked down.53. What steps will officials take to "shame" these companies?A. They will publish their names as well as the details of the offence online.B. They will shut down their business.C. They will inform the police about the illegal hiring.D. They will give poor workers working permission.54. Immigration officials are now focusing onA. small-time illegal employersB. fining individual workersC. large-scale organized criminal operationsD. the government's strategy55. Trade Union officials fear that this new campaign (战役) might end up unjustly penalizing , by driving the employers further underground.A. employersB. workersC. illegal residentsD. companiesⅤ.

was what the notice just inside the entrance promised.It said: “Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods.This May Be Your Lucky Day!”For several weeks Mrs.Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer.Unlike her friends, she never gave up hoping.The cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need.Her husband tried to advise her against buying things but failed.She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would approach her and say: “Madam, this is Your Lucky Day.Everything in your basket is free.”One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea.She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk.As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her.“Madam,”he said, holding out his hand, “I want to congratulate you! You are our lucky customer and everything you have in your basket is free!”61.The housewives learnt about the of free goods _______.A.on TVB.from the managerC.at the supermarketD.from the newspaper62.Mrs.Edwards ________.A.is always very luckyB.had no friendsC.hoped to get free shoppingD.gets disappointed easily63.Mrs.Edwards’s husband tried to ________.A.make her unhappyB.cheer her

shopping65.Mrs.Edwards must have been ________.A.pleasedB.delightedC.proudD.disappointedPassage TwoDeep inside a mountain near Sweetwater in East.Tennessee is a body of water known as the Lost Sea.It is listed by the Guinness Book of Would Records as the world’s largest underground lake.The Lost Sea is part of an extensive and historic cave system called Craighead Caverns.The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indian nation.The cave expands into a series of huge rooms from a small opening on the side of the mountain.Approximately one mile from the entrance, in a room called “The Council Room,”many Indian artisfacts have been found.Some of the items discovered include pottery, arrowheads, weapons, and jewelry.For many years there were persistent rumors of a large underground lake somewhere in a cave, but it was not discovered until 1905.In that year, a thirteen-year-old boy named Ben Sands crawled through a small opening three hundred feet underground.He found himself in a large cave half filled with water.Today tourists visit the Lost Sea and ride far out onto it in glass-bottomed boats powered by electric motors.More than thirteen acres of water have been mapped out so far and still no end to the lake has been found.Even though teams of divers have tried to explore the Lost Sea, the full extent of it is still unknown.66.The Lost Sea is unique because it is ________.part of a historical cave systemthe biggest underground lake in the worldlisted in the Guinness Book of World Recordsthe largest body of water in Tennessee67.The Craighead Caverns have been known ________.A.through historyB.since the time of the Indian nationsC.since 1905D.since divers explored them68.Who located the Lost Sea in recent times?A.The Cherokee Indians.B.Tourists.C.Ben Sands.D.Scientists.69.What was found in “The Council Room”?A.A small natural opening.B.A large cave.C.Another series of rooms.D.Many old Indian objects.70.It can be inferred from the passage that the Craighead Caverns presently serve as ____.A.an underground testing siteB.an Indian meeting groundC.a tourist attractionD.a motor boat race coursePassage ThreeGenerations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one life’s essentials.Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told, and told again, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip.But for many people the thought of food first thing in the morning is by no means a pleasure.So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast.Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures are available, the number of people who didn’t have breakfast, increased by 33 percent.For those who feel pain of guilt about not eating breakfast, however, there is some good news.Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast.“Going without breakfast does not affect performance,”said Arrold E.Bender, former professor of the nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, “nor does giving people breakfast improve performance.”Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most ofthe recent work involves children, not adults, “The literature”, says one researcher, Dr.Erresto at the University of Texas, “is poor”.71.The latest year for which figures could be obtained is _______.A.the year the author wrote the articleB.1977C.any year between 1997 and 1983D.198372.For those who do not take breakfast, the good news is that _______.several studies have been done in the past few yearsthe omission of breakfast does no harm to one’s healthadults have especially made studies in this fieldeating little in the morning is good for health73.“…nor does giving people breakfast improve performance”means ______.anyone without breakfast does improve his performancenot giving people breakfast improve performancehaving breakfast does not improve performance, eitherpeople having breakfast do improve their performance74.The word “literature”in the last sentence refers to _______.A.stories, poems, plays, etc.B.written works on a particular subjectC.any printed materialD.the modern literature of America75.What is implied but NOT stated by the author is that _______.breakfast does not affect performanceDr.Erresto is engaged in research work at an institution of higher learningnot eating breakfast might affect the health of childrenProfessor Bender once taught college courses in nutrition in LondonPassage FourAbout 35% of all high school graduates in America continue their education in an institution of higher learning.The word college is used to refer to either a college or a university.These institutions offer four-year programs that lead to a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor Science (B.S.) degree.Some students attend a junior college (providing only a two-year program) for one to two years before entering a four-year college as a sophomore (二年级生) or junior (三年级生).It is generally easier to be accepted at a state university than at a private one.Most private schools require strict entrance examinations and a high grade point average (GPA), as well as specific college prep classes in high school.Private schools cost considerably more than state colleges and famous private schools are very expensive.Poorer students can sometimes attend, however, by earning scholarships.Some college graduates go on to earn advanced masters or doctoral degrees in grad (graduate) school.Occupations in certain fields such as law or medicine require such advanced studies.Since college costs are very high, most students work at part-time jobs.Some have full-time jobs and go to school part-time.Often some will take five or more years to complete a four-year program because of money / job demands on their time.While the college and work demands take up the great part of a student’s time, most still enjoy social activities.Sports, dances, clubs, movies, and plays are all very popular.However, gathering together for long, philosophical talks at a favorite meeting place on or near the university is probably the most popular activity.76.College education is _______ in America.A.quite commonB.very rareC.something difficultD.almost impossible77.Which of the following is NOT required for entering most private schools.A.entrance examinationsB.taking part in many activitiesC.GPAD.college prep classes78.How can poor students attend private schools?A.Only by working at part-time jobs.B.Only by working at full-time jobs.C.Only by earning scholarships.D.All of above.79.The American college students like to _______ most of all.A.discuss problems on philosophyB.play ballsC.earn enough moneyD.go to the cinemas or theatres80.The best title for this passage is _______.A.Part-time jobsB.American collegeC.Popular activityD.A

Well, differences can mean problems, but only when they are not properly understood.Imagine Adam alone in the Garden of Eden and you will have an idea about the way many men feel today. If the major issue for women is overload in their life—balancing career, relationship, children, home—the crisis for men is loneliness and the loss of women. Twenty-five years ago, most men came home from work to a warm meal, a clean house, the devotion of a gentle wife. Now the majority of women work outside, they are no longer the full-time housewives as before, so men feel deserted and easily hurt.Women get emotional support through a network of friends and family. Most men don’t have such relationships; they are intimate only with their wives or lovers. As a result, anylessening of their partner’s attention may be thought of as rejection or abandonment.Bob’s wife Sandy has a full time job, and he really prefers her bringing home extra income. Yet he also feels uneasy and troubled. When I get home at the end of the day, wanting to have a talk with Sandy, he said, She puts me off. First she makes dinner, then the kids need something, or a friend calls her. She talks with her sister, her girlfriends, her workmates, but not with me. I sometimes do feel abandoned and annoyed. Since most men have difficulty admitting loneliness and hurt, they tend to become angry instead. Bob’s constant complaints and criticism made Sandy confused and irritated. Eventually, they came up with a simple solution that met both Bob’s need for time and Sandy’s sense of responsibility to others. The first half-hour after Bob arrived home from work was theirs; they would sit together and just talk to each other about everything they want to sayMany men feel hurt and abandoned because ____()A.women think it’s unfair to stay at home doing housework B.their wives are no longer gentle and caring to the family C.the equality of men and women is strongly emphasizedD.most women have their own jobs and don’t have enough timeand energy caring about men2、Why do men care a lot about their couples’ attitude towards them()A.Because their differences can mean problemsB.Because they don’t have a network of friends and family C.Because they only want to have an intimate relation with their wivesD.Because men lack confidence nowadays3、Which of the following statements about Bob and Sandy is true()A.Bob doesn’t wish Sandy to do a full-time jobB.Sandy is too busy to have time talking with BobC.Sandy puts Bob off since there’s no common topic between them anymoreD.Sandy feels equal to Bob now and no longer loves him as before4、What does the passage want to tell us()A.Differences between men and women would certainly bring problemsB.All human beings should be considered equalC.Only sameness could bring happiness to a marriage life D.Mutual understanding between men and women helps to solveproblems5、Passage TwoMany people have the experience that getting up in the morning is so difficult and painful. This might be called laziness. But Dr.Kleitman has a new explanation to this, he has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when you labor through your work, you may say that you’re feeling hot. That’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. No one has discovered why this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologue as:Get up, Tom! You’ll be late for school again! The possible explanation to the trouble is that Tom is at his temperature and energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has. You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help a lot. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway, and counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. However, if your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’tchange your cycle, but you’ll get up steam and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hoursAccording to the passage, what might bring family questions to the end()A.Stopping familiar monologues every dayB.A sudden change of a family member’s energy cycleC.Being aware of energy cycles of other family members D.Trying to control the energy cycles of other members 6、If one wants to do better at his low point in the morning, he should ____()A.change his energy cycleB.go to bed earlier the day beforeC.try to overcome his lazinessD.get up earlier than usual7、What does the sentence Get off to a slow start which savesyour energy mean()A.It will help you to control your temper early in the day B.It will enable you to concentrate on your routine work C.It will help to k eep your energy for the whole day’s work D.It will keep your energy cycle under control all day8、Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage ()A.Dr. Kleitman explains why people reach their peak at different hours of dayB.Habit can help people adjust to their own energy cycle C.Each person has his own energy cycleD.Getting up with a slow start helps us to save energy for work9、Passage ThreeA person with a flat, dull voice which neither rises nor falls sounds like a flat and dull person! But he or she may not be!While we can’t deny the fact that people can give the impression that they are bored, anxious, friendly or angry just by the sound of their voice.A French friend of mine once said to me, Your accent in French is excellent but you will never sound like a Frenchman until you put all your heart into your voice. It is a pity becauseyou are a lively person and yet you don’t sound lively to a Frenchman!We learn the grammar and vocabulary and even the correct pronunciation of the foreign people, but we may forget the important emotional effect of the music of our speech, for British people, the intension of language is attractive. That is to say, the rise and fall in the sound of our voice when we speak really matters. It’s unfortunate that the intonation of some other countries can often communicate the wrong meaning. British people sometimes feel offended because they think the other person is unfriendly even if he has spoken a perfect English sentence! And this failure of communication can also happen between British people themselves.If you want to communicate successfully with another person, you may have to think about the music of your own voice.Especially when you meet someone from a different part of your country or from another country, you should be careful! Don’t judge them only by their intonation!What does the writer want to show through the example in the second paragraph()A.To learn a foreign language well, we must learn the sound and pronunciation wellB.Grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation are not the only important elements in learning foreign languageC.A person with a flat, dull voice will not give other good impressionD.In learning a foreign language, we must talk to the native speakers fluently10、The word music in the third paragraph means ____()A.intonationB.rising toneC.sweet voiceD.falling tone11、British people sometimes feel offended while talking with others because____()A.they can’t understand what the other person saysB.the other person says something rudeC.the language they speak is quite differentD.they misunderstand the other person’s words12、What is the main idea of the passage()A.To communicate with others successfully, we must know music wellB.We can’t simply judge a person by his voice, nor can we neglect intonationC.Many listeners will not pay attention to the sound of one’s voiceD.It’s not easy for people from different countries or parts to communicate三、匹配题1、63()A.AB.BC.CD.D2、64()A.AB.BC.CD.D3、65()A.AB.BC.CD.D4、66()B.BC.CD.D5、67()A.AB.BC.CD.D6、68() A.AB.BC.CD.D7、69() A.AB.BC.CD.D8、70() A.AC.CD.D参考答案:【一、单选题】1~5ACAAC6~10DDDAB11~30点击下载查看答案【二、阅读理解】1~5DCBDC6~10DCABA11~12点击下载查看答案【三、匹配题】1~5CADBB。
