Dear Managing Director,
As you know, money was recently received for improvements to the café, and the Board (董事会) has made some suggestions about how to spend it.The purpose of this letter is to show the reaction of the staff (全体员工) to your ideas and to present some suggestions of our own.
As we understand, the Board has three main suggestions:
·to repaint the walls and hang curtains
·to buy longer tables and more chairs
·to brighten up the café with plants
We are very happy with the idea of repainting and curtains.This would certainly make the café more attractive.However, we do not feel that there is any need for new tables and chairs.The present furniture is in good condition and because the tables are small, they encourage a friendlier feeling than long tables would.As for plants, we feel the money could be better spent on other things.Our suggestions are:
·to buy a new dishwashing machine.The present machine is of poor quality and doesn't always clean the dishes well.
·to buy a new coffee machine.The present machine breaks down very often and takes a long time to get repaired.
Also, would it be possible to change our servicing company
·to buy more salt and pepper sets so we have one for every table.
·to buy new staff uniforms (制服).The present uniforms are uncomfortable and unattractive.
We hope that our suggestions will be given serious consideration, particularly those related to the two machines.
We look forward to discussing them with you at a convenient (方便的) time.
Constanza Brookes, Staff Representative

My beautiful new watch had run eighteen months without losing or gaining (走得快).But at last, one night, I forgot to wind it up (上发条) and it stopped running.The next day I stepped into the jeweler's to set it by
the exact time, and the head of the shop started to set it for me.Then he said, “She is four minutes slow — regulator (调节器) wants pushing up.” I tried to stop him — tried to make him understand that the watch kept perfect time.But no; he calmly and cruelly did the shameful deed.
My watch began to gain.It gained faster and faster day by day.Finally I took it to the watchmaker to be regulated.He forced the watch open, and then said it wanted cleaning and oiling, besides regulating.After this, my watch slowed down to an unbearable degree.I began to miss trains and my dinner.
At last, I took this instrument to another watchmaker.He said the kingbolt was broken.To tell the truth, I had no idea what the kingbolt was.He repaired it, but what the watch gained in one way it lost in another.It would run awhile and then stop awhile, and so on.
So I went with a heavy heart to one more watchmaker.While I waited and looked on I presently recognized in this watchmaker an old acquaintance (熟人) — a steamboat engineer of older days, and not a good engineer, either.
“She makes too much steam and ...” he said.
I gave him a heavy blow on the head and ran away.
My uncle William used to say that a good watch was a good watch until the repairers got a chance to look at it.And he used to wonder what became of all the unsuccessful repairmen, and shoemakers, and engineers, and blacksmiths; but nobody could ever tell him.
4.What did the author say about the jeweler
A.He made a mistake.
B.He had a quick mind.
C.He had a hearing problem.
D.He was a quiet repairman.

B.He was talking nonsense.
C.He treated the watch cruelly.
D.He was an old enemy of the author.
7.What did the author learn from his experience
A.Never get a watch repaired.
B.He should listen to his uncle.
C.Repair work was not an easy job.
D.Unsuccessful people exist in all walks of life.

Bryan Laubscher, one of the world's leading astrophysicists, who study the physics and chemistry of the stars, planets, etc. is developing an invention called the Mars Elevator.To form a picture of this, you may want to imagine the story of Jack and the Beanstalk (豆茎).This is the story of a boy who grew a beanstalk that reached the heavens.Jack climbed the stalk and entered another world.The space elevator is similar but of course much more high tech and better yet, it is real!
Astrophysicists are designing a steel like cable (缆绳) that will be connected to a platform (平台) in the ocean.This cable is designed to be pulled up into space, where it will then be connected to a space station.People will be able to travel up and down this elevator by the year 2020.There will be a number of space elevators so that both tourists and businesses can travel into space.To get there, space tourists will simply travel to the nearest ocean elevator entrance.The trip up into space will take about a week.When they arrive, space tourists will be inside a space station and will be able to stay there.There are other alternatives,_too.Astronomers think it will be easy to travel from the space station to the moon, where space tourists can stay in a moon hotel — which is now being designed.
The future looks bright for space tourists.It also looks bright for industry and scientists.Mining companies will travel to space to mine elements (元素) that are rare on Earth.Energy scientists will travel to space to set up space solar panels, which will collect a huge amount of energy from the sun and shoot it back to Earth where we can use it to heat our homes and meet our energy needs.
8.What does Jack and the Beanstalk help readers understand
A.The difficulty of building space elevators.
B.What material space elevators would use.
C.What space elevators would look like.
D.The reason for inventing space elevators.
9.What can we infer about space elevators
A.They're accepting pre paid bookings.
B.They'll be available in the near future.
C.They're mainly used for scientific study.
D.They'll offer people a seven day round trip.
10.What does the underlined word “alternatives” (in Para.2) mean
A.Advantages.        B.Purposes.
C.Entries. D.Choices.
11.What is the author's attitude towards space elevators
A.Worried. B.Doubtful.
C.Critical. D.Positive.
D
Five years after they disappeared, lost jewels belonging to the wife of a US ambassador to the Netherlands were found.
Dawn Arnall had already received an insurance payout for her loss.However, the misplaced gems (宝石) had been found and held for safe keeping by a hotel she stayed in.Staff were unaware that the jewels were worth D|S9m.
The world is full of forgetful people.A man in the English town of Reading even left a sausage casserole in a bus.The dish ended up in the Lost Property Office until it was recovered by his mother, eager for her dinner.
A walker in the Lake District had his food in his mouth but ...what about his teeth After climbing a hill in 2007, David Packer stopped for a chocolate bar.He took his false teeth out, wrapped them up in a tissue and just forgot about them.It took more than a year for the walker to be reunited with them.
Over the past 78 years passengers on London's transport network have left behind items including human skulls and gas masks from World War Ⅱ.Since 1934, staff have handled an average of 200,000 items a year.Recently they have used computers to try to track down their owners.
But if you find something and can't locate the rightful owner, is it finders_keepers It depends on what's found and how, says John Spencer, professor of law at the University of Cambridge.
“If you pick up a coin, you can keep it unless you saw someone drop it, as you wouldn't be able to find the owner by taking reasonable steps.”
If it's a larger sum, you should report it to the police but if the item has been abandoned, the property is yours.One man's loss is another man's gain!
12.Dawn Arnall is mentioned in the first two paragraphs to ________.
A.attract readers' attention to the jewellery
B.introduce the topic

C.It's immoral to keep something that doesn't belong to you.
D.Whoever finds something can keep it.
15.How should you deal with the money you pick up according to John Spencer

My beautiful new watch had run eighteen months without losing or gaining (走得快).But at last, one night, I forgot to wind it up (上发条) and it stopped running.The next day I stepped into the jeweler's to set it by
the exact time, and the head of the shop started to set it for me.Then he said, “She is four minutes slow — regulator (调节器) wants pushing up.” I tried to stop him — tried to make him understand that the watch kept perfect time.But no; he calmly and cruelly did the shameful deed.

So I went with a heavy heart to one more watchmaker.While I waited and looked on I presently recognized in this watchmaker an old acquaintance (熟人) — a steamboat engineer of older days, and not a good engineer, either.
“She makes too much steam and ...” he said.
I gave him a heavy blow on the head and ran away.
My uncle William used to say that a good watch was a good watch until the repairers got a chance to look at it.And he used to wonder what became of all the unsuccessful repairmen, and shoemakers, and engineers, and blacksmiths; but nobody could ever tell him.

4.What did the author say about the jeweler
A.He made a mistake.
B.He had a quick mind.
C.He had a hearing problem.
D.He was a quiet repairman.
解析:选A 推理判断题。根据首段中的“regulator (调节器) wants pushing up”和“I tried to stop him — tried to make him understand that the watch kept perfect time.”可知,作者认为他的表没有问题,然而钟表商却执意要将调节器拨快。因此,钟表商错误地把表修理得越走越快。
5.After being cleaned, oiled and regulated, the author's watch ________.
A.kept perfect time
B.gained faster and faster
C.was unbelievably slow
D.ran awhile and stopped awhile
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第二段中的“After this, my watch slowed down to an unbearable degree.”可知,作者的表在这次修理后,越走越慢,最后慢到让人忍无可忍的地步。
6.Why did the author hit the watchmaker on the head
A.He was a liar.
B.He was talking nonsense.
C.He treated the watch cruelly.
D.He was an old enemy of the author.
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据作者在第四段对钟表匠的描述“a steamboat engineer of older days, and not a good engineer”以及接下来钟表匠说的“She makes too much steam”可知,作者认为这个钟表匠纯粹在胡说八道,因此才动手打人。
7.What did the author learn from his experience
A.Never get a watch repaired.
B.He should listen to his uncle.
C.Repair work was not an easy job.
D.Unsuccessful people exist in all walks of life.
解析:选A 推理判断题。根据文章首段作者对自己心爱的表的描述“My beautiful new watch had run eighteen months without losing or gaining (走得快).”,再结合文中介绍的四次修表经历以及末段中的“My uncle William used to say that a good watch was a good watch until the repairers got a chance to look at it.”可知,作者从自己的修表经历中认识到一点,那就是:千万不要去修表。
C
Bryan Laubscher, one of the world's leading astrophysicists, who study the physics and chemistry of the stars, planets, etc. is developing an invention called the Mars Elevator.To form a picture of this, you may want to imagine the story of Jack and the Beanstalk (豆茎).This is the story of a boy who grew a beanstalk that reached the heavens.Jack climbed the stalk and entered another world.The space elevator is similar but of course much more high tech and better yet, it is real!
Astrophysicists are designing a steel like cable (缆绳) that will be connected to a platform (平台) in the ocean.This cable is designed to be pulled up into space, where it will then be connected to a space station.People will be able to travel up and down this elevator by the year 2020.There will be a number of space elevators so that both tourists and businesses can travel into space.To get there, space tourists will simply travel to the nearest ocean elevator entrance.The trip up into space will take about a week.When they arrive, space tourists will be inside a space station and will be able to stay there.There are other alternatives,_too.Astronomers think it will be easy to travel from the space station to the moon, where space tourists can stay in a moon hotel — which is now being designed.
The future looks bright for space tourists.It also looks bright for industry and scientists.Mining companies will travel to space to mine elements (元素) that are rare on Earth.Energy scientists will travel to space to set up space solar panels, which will collect a huge amount of energy from the sun and shoot it back to Earth where we can use it to heat our homes and meet our energy needs.
8.What does Jack and the Beanstalk help readers understand
A.The difficulty of building space elevators.
B.What material space elevators would use.
C.What space elevators would look like.
D.The reason for inventing space elevators.
解析:选C 推理判断题。根据首段中的“To form a picture of this, you may want to imagine the story of Jack and the Beanstalk (豆茎).”可知,作者提到《杰克和魔豆》的故事是为了帮助读者在脑中想象太空梯的样子。
9.What can we infer about space elevators
A.They're accepting pre paid bookings.
B.They'll be available in the near future.
C.They're mainly used for scientific study.
D.They'll offer people a seven day round trip.
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“People will be able to travel up and down this elevator by the year 2020.”可知,在不久的将来,太空梯就可以投入使用了。
10.What does the underlined word “alternatives” (in Para.2) mean
A.Advantages.        B.Purposes.
C.Entries. D.Choices.
解析:选D 词义猜测题。根据画线词前的“space tourists will be inside a space station”和画线词后的“space tourists can stay in a moon hotel”可知,游客到了太空后可以待在空间站或者入住月球宾馆。因此,这些都是可供选择的。
11.What is the author's attitude towards space elevators
A.Worried. B.Doubtful.
C.Critical. D.Positive.
解析:选D 观点态度题。作者在末段提到太空梯将给人类生活带来种种益处,由此可知,他对太空梯持肯定和乐观态度。
D

Dawn Arnall had already received an insurance payout for her loss.However, the misplaced gems (宝石) had been found and held for safe keeping by a hotel she stayed in.Staff were unaware that the jewels were worth D|S9m.
The world is full of forgetful people.A man in the English town of Reading even left a sausage casserole in a bus.The dish ended up in the Lost Property Office until it was recovered by his mother, eager for her dinner.
A walker in the Lake District had his food in his mouth but ...what about his teeth After climbing a hill in 2007, David Packer stopped for a chocolate bar.He took his false teeth out, wrapped them up in a tissue and just forgot about them.It took more than a year for the walker to be reunited with them.
Over the past 78 years passengers on London's transport network have left behind items including human skulls and gas masks from World War Ⅱ.Since 1934, staff have handled an average of 200,000 items a year.Recently they have used computers to try to track down their owners.

“If you pick up a coin, you can keep it unless you saw someone drop it, as you wouldn't be able to find the owner by taking reasonable steps.”
If it's a larger sum, you should report it to the police but if the item has been abandoned, the property is yours.One man's loss is another man's gain!
语篇解读:世上有很多健忘的人,他们经常把一些东西遗忘在某些地方,如果你拾到这些东西,该如何处理呢?从本文中寻找答案吧。
12.Dawn Arnall is mentioned in the first two paragraphs to ________.
A.attract readers' attention to the jewellery
B.introduce the topic
C.make a summary
D.get people think
解析:选B 推理判断题。由第三段首句“The world is full of forgetful people.”以及下文的语境可知,此处举例的目的是引出话题——世界上健忘的人有很多,故选B。
13.Judging from the examples given in the third, fourth and fifth paragraphs, people can be ________.
A.generous        B.experienced
C.forgettable ` D.honest
解析:选C 推理判断题。由这三段所举的被人们遗忘的东西“a sausage casserole”“false teeth”“human skulls”“gas masks”等可推知人们有时是健忘的。
14.What does the underlined part in the sixth paragraph mean
A.It depends on the law whether to keep something you find.
B.One man's loss is another man's loss too.
C.It's immoral to keep something that doesn't belong to you.
D.Whoever finds something can keep it.
解析:选D 词义猜测题。由上文“But if you find something and can't locate the rightful owner(拾到某物却找不到失主)”可推测出,此处表示谁拾到的东西归谁所有,故选D。
15.How should you deal with the money you pick up according to John Spencer
A.Keep it to yourself. B.Find the rightful owner.
C.Take reasonable steps. D.Report it to the police.
解析:选C 细节理解题。由第六段中的“It depends on what's found and how”可知,John Spencer认为拾到的东西如何处理要根据情况而定,即采取合理的方法来处理。故选C。
