St Cyrus National Nature Reserve was set up not long agoB.Spring is coming and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs. Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their perso nal choices. Whatever we are wearing，our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos (纹身),nose rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you can’t judge a book by its cover, yet peo ple do “cover” themselves in order to convey (传递)certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances, so do companies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what custome rs accept.Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees (雇员), because those people represent the companies to their customers.As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are plenty of well-qualified candidates, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am open-minded, I can’t expect all our customers are.There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.25．Which of the following is the newspaper editor’s opin ion according to Paragraph 2?A. People’s appearances carry messages about themselves.B. Customers’ choices influence dress standards in companies.C. Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated.D. Strange dress styles should no t be encouraged in the workplace.26．What can be inferred from the text?A. What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies.B. Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates.C. Candidates must wear what companies prefer for an interview.D. Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates.27．Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Hiring Managers MatterB. Personal Choices MatterC. Appearances MatterD. Employees Matter28．The author’s attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace may best be described as _________.A. enthusiasticB. positiveC. sympatheticD. negative C.“Mama, when I grow up, I’m going to be one of those!” I said this after seeing the Capital Dancing Company perform when I was three. It was the first time that my dream had taken on a vivid form and acted as something important to start my training. As I grew older and was exposed to more, my interests in the world of dance certainly varied but that little girl’s dream of someday becoming a dancer in the company never left me. In the summer of 2005 when I was 18, I received the phone call which made that dream a reality: I became a member of the company dating back to 1925.As I look back on that day now, it surely lacks any sense of reality. I believe I stayed in a state of pleasant disbelief until I was halfway through rehearsals (排练) on my first day. I never actually expect to get the job. After being offered the position, I was completely astonished. I remember shaking with excitement.Though I was absolutely thrilled with the chance, it did not come without its fair share of challenge. Through the strict rehearsal period of dancing six days a week, I found it vital to pick up the material fast with every last bit of concentration. It is that extreme attention to detail (细节) and stress on practice that set us apart. To then follow those high-energy rehearsals with a busy show schedule of up to five performances a day, I discovered a new meaning of the words “hard work.” What I thought were my physical boundaries were pushed much further than I thought possible. I learned to make each performance better than the last.Today, when I look at the unbelievable company that I have the great honor of being a part of, not only as a member, but as a dance captain, I see a tradition that has inspired not only generations of little girls but a splendid company that continues to develop and grow-and inspires people every day to follow their dreams.29. How many years has the Capital Dancing Company existed when the author receivedthe phone call from it?A. 180B. 1925C. 80D. 200530. How did the author feel when she look back on that day now?A. strangeB. indifferentC. unrealisticD. lucky31. Which of the following statement can best interpret the underlined sentence inparagraph 3?A. Though I was excited, I should share the chance with others.B. Though I was excited, I know clearly where there is chance there is challenge.C. Though I was excited, it’s a challenge for me to share the chance with others.D. Though I was excited, it’s fair to share the chance when there is challenge.D.There is some unwelcome news for students preparing for exams and officers putting in long hours-----you don't need the break as much as you may think that makes you feelless tired.Scientists have long assumed that willpower (意志力) is a limited resource, which is why you feel the need to have a rest, have a snack and come back to a task when you're feeling better. They argued that the only way to restore willpower was by rest, foo d 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 more likely to be tired when you perform a difficult task," said Prof. Veronika 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 tem ptation. 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.32. The theory that willpower is limited supports that _________.A. people must eat snacks when they feel tiredB. t here’s no way to strengthen people’s willpowerC. people do need a break to restore their willpowerD. weak willpower doesn’t affect people’s life much33. What have the scientists long believed regarding willpower?A. It is in the charge of people.B. There is no way to restorewillpower.C. It is a limited resource.D. It doesn’t easily run out.34. Which of the following best helps the students to prepare better for their exams?A. Push themselves even if they want to take a break.B. Don’t eat fast food while studying.C. Stay in a comfortable and quiet place.D. Remind themselves willpower is not limited.35. What does the passage want to tell us?A. How to build strong willpowerB. A new theory about willpowerC. The great influence of willpowerD. Willpower doesn’t last long 第二节：（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文的内容，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High school can be quite the stressful time for any student．There are numerous stressesto deal with and the pressure can be more intense as you enter your senior year．36．The answer is as follows．37． Adjust your approach to your specific situation．For instance, if you’re active in your community and your school and have a large family, you may feel depressed by having all these people involved in your life on a daily basis． 38． You just may need a moment to be alone and collect your thoughts before moving on to the challenges that face you．39． If your stress pers ists and you can’t figure out a way to handle it, you may want to try speaking to your school counselor(顾问)．If you don’t feel comfortable speaking to your counselor, try getting some other types of counseling．Realize your limits, and plan around them．Don’t take on more than you can handle．If you take on too many things, you will be spread too thin and won’t be able to perform at your best in anything． 40． You will definitely feel more at ease!A．Seek professional counseling．B．Why does the stress come into being?C．Try thinking of alternative ways to deal with stress．D．When you feel relieved, you can have a happier life．E．Taking some time out to be alone may be the best way to handle such stress．F．But how on earth can you reduce some of the stress?G．Evaluate what tasks and activities are most important and leave others behind．第三部分英语知识运用（共三节，满分45分）第一节完形填空（共20小题；每题1. 5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A, B, C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
