If you grow old in Japan，expect to be served food by a robot，ride a voice-recognition wheelchair or even possibly hire a nurse in a robotic suit—all are examples of cutting-edge technology to care for the country’s rapidly growing population.
With nearly 22 percent of Japan’s population already aged 65 or older，businesses here have been producing everything from easy-entry cars to remote-controlled beds，fueling a care technology market worth some $1.08 billion in 2006.
At a home care and rehabilitation(恢复) meeting in Tokyo，buyers crowded round a demonstration of Secom Co.’s My Spoon feeding robot，which helps elderly or disabled people eat with a spoon and fork-fitted swiveling(转动的) arm.Operating a joystick(操纵杆) with his chin，developer Shigehisa Kobayashi moved the arm toward a block of soft tofu，skillfully getting the fork to break off a bite-sized piece.The arm then returned to a preprogrammed position in front of his mouth，allowing Kobayashi to bite and swallow.
“It’s all about allowing people to help themselves，”Kobayashi said.The Tokyo-based company has already sold 300 of the robots，which come with a price tag of $3,500.“We want to give the elderly control over their own lives.”
The rapidly aging population here has caused many concerns：a labor shortage，tax shortfalls and financial difficulties in paying the health bills and pensions(养老金) of large numbers of the elderly.Moreover，a growing number of older Japanese are spending their golden years away from the care traditionally provided by children and grandchildren.That’s where cutting-edge technology steps in.
1．The underlined word “cutting-edge” in Paragraph 1 means ________.
A．common B．up-to-date
C．cost-saving D．rapidly-developed
2．The rapidly growing population in Japan ________.
A．prevents the development of Japan’s economy
B．causes a great increase in Japan’s population
C．strengthens the relationship between family members
D．promotes the development of Japan’s care technology
3．What does the last paragraph of the passage want to tell us?
A．The social need to develop robots for the elderly.
B．The worsening situation of Japan’s aging population.
C．The development of cutting-edge technology.
D．The social problem—Japan’s aging population has caused.
4．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．The Development of Science in Japan
B．My Spoon Feeding Robot
C．Robots to Help Japanese Seniors
D．Rapidly Growing Population in Japan

Telephone，television，radio，telegraph and the Internet all help people communicate with each other.As a result，ideas and news of events spread quickly all over the world.For example，within seconds，people can know the results of an election in another country.An international football match comes into the homes of everyone with a television set.News of a disaster such as an earthquake or a flood can bring help from distant countries within hours.Help is on the way.Because of modern technology like the satellites that travel around the world，information travels fast.
How has this speed of communication changed the world？To many people，the world has become smaller.Of course this does not mean that the world is actually physically smaller.It means that the world seems smaller.Two hundred years ago，communication between the continents took a long time.All news was carried on ships that took weeks or even months to cross the ocean.In the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries，it took six weeks for news from Europe to reach America.This time difference influenced people’s actions.For example，one battle，or fight in the War of 1812 between England and the United States could have been avoided.A peace agreement had already been signed.Peace was made in England，but the news of peace took six weeks to reach America.During these six weeks，the large and serious Battle of New Orleans was fought.Many people lost their lives after a peace treaty had been signed.They would not have died if news had come in time.In the past，communication took much more time than it does now.
There was a good reason why the world seemed so much larger than it does today.
1．According to this passage，________is very important to people in a disaster area.
A．transportation
B．modern technology
C．latest news
D．a new idea
2．From the passage we learn that________.
A．the world now seems smaller because of faster communication
B．the world is actually smaller today
C．the world is changing its size
D．the distance between England and America has changed since the War of 1812
3．Two hundred years ago，news between the continents was carried________.
A．by telephone and telegraph
B．by land
C．by air
D．by sea
4．The Battle of New Orleans could have been avoided if the peace agreement had been signed________.
A．by important people
B．in 1812
C．in America
D．in England

Computer programmer David Jones earns ￡35,000 a year designing new computer games，yet he cannot find a bank ready to let him have a credit card(信用卡)．Instead he has been told to wait another two years until he is 18.The 16-year-old works for a small firm in Liverpool，where the problem of most young people of his age is finding a job.David’s firm releases(推出) two new games for the fast growing computer market each month.

“Unfortunately，computing was not part of our studies at school，”he said，“But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time.I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school.Most people in this business are fairly young，anyway.” David added，“I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement(退休) is a possibility.You never know when the market might disappear.”

2．What is one of the problems that David is facing now?

A．He had done well in all his exams.
B．He had written some computer programs.
C．He was good at playing computer games.
D．He had learnt to use computers at school.
4．Why did David decide to leave school and start working?

The introduction of computerized information systems has greatly affected management control in many companies.Even a neighborhood shopkeeper may now use computers to control sales，billing，and other activities.In large companies，electronic data processing systems monitor entire projects and sets of operations.
Before the widespread use of computers，manager could not make full use of a large amount of valuable information about a company’s activities.The information either reached managers too late or was too late to be used.Today，managers are facing plenty of data processing and information instruments.In place of a few financial controls，managers can depend on computer based information systems to control activities in every area of their company.On any kinds of performance measures，the information provided by these systems helps managers compare standards with actual results，find out problems，and take corrective action before it is too late to make changes.
Now，there are about 220 million microcomputers in use in the United States—9 for every 10 citizens.It is estimated that by 2016,90 percent of American managers will be using some sort of electronic work station.In order for managers to be sure that the computer-based information they are receiving is accurate，they need to understand how computers work.Although in most cases they do not need to learn how to program computers，managers should understand clearly how computerized information systems work，how they are developed，their limitations and costs，and the manner in which information systems may be used.Such an understanding is not difficult to achieve.
One research has found that business firms are more successful in teaching basic information about computers to business graduates than they are in teaching business subjects to computer science graduates.

An Opportunity Disguised(伪装) as a Problem
One day，I once received a note from Gwen，a youth coach.She learned that Bill，a close friend who coached another team，__36__ about the age of some of his gymnasts to increase their chances of winning.
She knew her kids would __37__ that Bill’s athletes were in the wrong age division and would be __38__，but she didn’t know what to do.She didn’t want to __39__ Bill as a friend and was afraid that blowing the whistle would ruin her __40__ in the close-knit gymnastics community.

Gwen’s problem fell into the discipline category.Bill’s action was clearly wrong，and she had a responsibility to __44__ it.She couldn’t let her kids __45__ by looking the other way just because it was __46__ to stand up for what’s right.As Edmund Burke __47__ it，“All that is necessary for evil to triumph(胜利) is for good people to do nothing.”
Gwen could confront Bill to give him a chance to __48__ the problem.If he didn’t，she had to __49__ him.
Yes，this would __50__ destroy their friendship，but the __51__ in their values had already made that inevitable.It was also likely that some colleagues would take Bill’s __52__.There will always be a split between those who __53__ and those who don’t.
Still，if Gwen was a coach，she was a teacher.Her problem was a great __54__ in disguise.Doing the right thing when it’s personally __55__ is the best possible way to teach moral courage.

第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
Hundreds of trash trucks across California are rumbling down city streets using clean fuel made from a dirty source：garbage.
The fuel is derived from rotting refuse that San Francisco and Oakland residents and businesses have been discarding in the Altamont landfill since 1980.Since November，the methane gas created from the 240-acre landfill has been sucked into tubes and sent into an innovative facility that purifies and transforms it into liquefied(液态的) natural gas (LNG)．
Almost 500 Waste Management Inc.garbage and recycling trucks run on this new source of environmentally friendly fuel instead of dirty diesel(柴油)．
“We’ve built the largest landfill-to-LNG plant in the world；this plant produces 13,000 gallons of LNG a day，” says Jessica Jones，a landfill manager for Houston-based Waste Management.“It will take 30,000 tons of CO2 a year from the environment.”
Altamont is one of two California landfills making LNG；the other is a smaller facility about 40 miles south of Los Angeles.Other natural gas facilities are being planned by Waste Management at some of the 270 active landfills nationwide，and the number could grow quickly as communities seek to reduce greenhouse gas pollution.
Landfills have plenty of the ingredients to produce methane.Bacteria break down the food scraps，paper，lawn trimmings and other organic waste dumped there.Over time，the material ferments(发酵)，releasing methane and other gases.About 50 percent of the gas emitted from landfills is methane.It is 21 times more effective than CO2 at trapping heat in the atmosphere，the EPA says.
“Methane is the second most important greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide，” Tom Frankiewicz，program manager for EPA’s Landfill Methane Outreach Program in Washington，says in an e-mail.“Methane is also the main component of natural gas，so by capturing and using methane as an energy source you will get an even bigger bang_for_the_buck.”
56．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．A new way to deal with garbage in California
B．The advantage of liquefied natural gas
C．The fuel of California garbage trucks coming from garbage
D．Environmentally friendly trucks in California
57．Which of the following is NOT a step to turn garbage into LNG?
A．Mix the methane gas with other natural gases.
B．Bacteria break down the garbage.
C．The material ferments.
D．Suck the methane gas into tubes and purify it.
58．Methane is a kind of gas that ________.
A．usually exists in landfills
B．can add to greenhouse effect
C．can’t be turned into a useful energy source
D．is not as effective as CO2 at trapping heat in the atmosphere
59．The underlined part “bang for the buck” in the last paragraph probably means ________.
A．problem B．share
C．reward D．victory
B
Busy senior managers need no longer waste time in showering themselves—an Australian company has invented a suit that can be worn while they wash.
The suit has been specially designed so that it can be cleaned under the showerhead.There is no need for soaking (浸泡)，dry cleaning—or even soap.
The Japanese market has taken a liking to the “shower suit”，described as “revolutionary” by its owner Australian Wool Innovation (AWI)，which is the research and marketing body that represents Australian woolgrowers.Orders have been placed for 170,000 of the woolen suits.
“The suit could be worn in the shower，although it was probably better to hang it on a clothes hanger and carry it instead，”AWI corporate affairs spokesman Stephen Feighan said.“The idea is that you hang it up and then...you give it a spray (喷雾)，and it’s dry the next morning，” Mr.Feighan said.
A Japanese researcher working for AWI invented the suit by combining three technologies.The secret is the best lining (内衬)，which allows the suit to dry quickly.“The shower suit attracted busy corporate people，particularly those who often traveled or stayed up late，”Mr.Feighan said.The airline industry was also interested.
Mr.Feighan confessed he had not worn one of the suits yet，or tried to wash it in the shower，because they were cut to fit Japanese figures.
AWI believes that the shower suit will spread from the Japanese market through Europe and India.Mr.Feighan hoped the suit，made from local wool，would be available in Australia in 12 to 18 months’ time.
60．What is the writing purpose of the article?
A．To introduce a newly-designed shower suit.
B．To help the white collars arrange their life more sensibly.
C．To provide suggestions on saving time in bath.
D．To praise AWI for its important achievement.
61．Which is TRUE about the suit according to the passage?
A．It can spare the owner’s trouble of soaking，dry cleaning and applying soap.
B．It is of the quality of fast dry for its best cloth.
C．It is not suitable for hanging.
D．It has attracted more orders than any other suit.
62．The suit draws the attention from all the following groups EXCEPT ________.
A．corporate people who are always on the go
B．people on occasional business trips
C．the airline industry
D．people burning the midnight oil
63．Which of the following has much to do with Mr.Feighan?
A．The invention of the suit.
B．The try-on of the suit.
C．The combination of the three technologies on the suit.
D．The popularization of the suit and best wishes for it.
C
Jane Austen (1775～1817)，one of England’s most famous novelists，was never publicly recognized as a writer during her lifetime.Jane Austen was born in Steventon，Hampshire and the second daughter and seventh child in a family of eight.She was mainly educated at home，benefiting from her father’s library.Her closest friend was her only sister，Cassandra.Though Austen lived a quiet life，she had unusual access to the greater world，mainly through her brothers，Francis and Charles，officers in the Royal Navy，who served on ships around the world and saw action in the Napoleonic Wars.
As a child Austen began writing comic stories，now referred to as the juvenilia(少年时代作品)．Her first mature work，written when she was about 19，was a novella(中篇小说)，Lady Susan，written in epistolary(书信体的) form.This early fiction was preserved by her family but wasn’t published until long after her death.
In her early twenties Austen wrote the novels Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice，one of her best-known novels，which was finished in 1797.When Austen was 25 years old，her father retired，and she and Cassandra moved with their parents to Bath.During the five years she lived in Bath，Austen began one novel，The Watsons，which she never completed.In 1811，Austen published Sense and Sensibility，which identified the author as “a Lady”．Pride and Prejudice followed in 1813，Mansfield Park in 1814，and Emma in 1815.For some reason，all of them were published not using her name.Austen began writing the novel that would be called Persuasion in 1815 and finished it the following year，by which time，however，her health was beginning to fail.Austen died on July 18,1817 because of her illness and a few days later she was buried in Winchester Cathedral.
64．How did Jane Austen get her education when she was young?
A．She studied at home in her father’s library.
B．She was taught by her two brothers.
C．She studied in a private school.
D．She was taught by her sister.
65．All the following were completed by Jane Austen EXCEPT ________.
A．Lady Susan. B．Persuasion.
C．The Watsons. D．Emma.
66．We can learn from the last paragraph that ________.
A．the Austens moved to Bath for the benefit of Jane’s health
B．Jane Austen felt upset because her novels weren’t recognized
C．Sense and Sensibility was published using the name of Jane Austen
D．Pride and Prejudice was published sixteen years after it was completed
67．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．Jane Austen’s Early Life
B．Jane Austen’s Great Works
C．Way to Success for Jane Austen
D．A Brief Introduction to Jane Austen

There are many challenges students face when learning to use a dictionary.All of these problems，and more，can be resolved by effective training.
Finding the right entry(词条)
The first challenge is find the word in the dictionary.For many words this is quite straightforward，but for others it is a frustratingly complex task.Often the form of the word that the student wants to look up may not appear in the dictionary where they expect it.For example，walked，or incomprehensible may be found under the headwords walk and comprehend.Many students would instantly recognize that walked would appear under the entry walk，but may not know that incomprehensible might appear under comprehend.This is particularly difficult when the meaning is figurative or idiomatic.
Finding the right meaning
Many words have several meanings such as bank or duty.Research strongly suggests that once the word form has been found many students usually only select the first of several meanings as the correct answer，and ignore the rest.However，if the meaning senses are very different，as with the several meanings of bank，then the students will find the correct entry quite easily，but if the meaning senses are quite similar，or are nuances of the same broad meaning，then finding the right nuance can be very difficult.
Making sense of the entry
Dictionaries contain a lot of information such as grammatical and phonological information，which can be off-putting because they can seem like yet another foreign language to learn.Moreover，there may not be enough information in the entry to help the students find what they want as there is not enough space to put all the information about a word in a dictionary.This can lead to frustrations on the part of the student.The grammatical information in the dictionary may help a student to use the word，for example，by saying that the word requires a direct object，but the student does not always know which direct object goes with it.Fortunately，this information can often be found in the Oxford Word finder.
68．On the whole，the passage mainly tells us ________.
A．the ways students use a dictionary
B．the challenges students face when using a dictionary
C．how many entries there are in a dictionary
D．the different meanings of the words in the dictionary
69．According to the passage，under which entry may the word “unbelievable” appear?
A．Believe. B．Unbelieve.
C．Believable. D．Unbelievable.
70．What does the underlined word “nuances” in Para.3 probably mean?
A．Different uses.
B．Slight differences.
C．Obvious differences.
D．Familiar situation.
71．Why doesn’t all the information about a word put in the dictionary?
A．Because people can’t know all about a word.
B．Because some of the information about a word is useless.
C．Because space in a dictionary is limited.
D．Because different words have different meanings.

Nineteen-year-old Christopher Paolini has always loved adventure books.In fact，he plotted out his first book，Eragon，when he was just fifteen! Eragon is selling more copies than most of the Harry Potter books.A reporter from Who’s News talked to this young author about his books and how he ended up being one of the best-selling authors of all time!
Reporter：________________________________________________________________________
Christopher Paolini (CP): I love fantasy.I love the sense of awe and wonder that you always get at the end of a great book or movie.Eragon was an attempt to express that.When I was about twelve，I read a book called Jeremy Thatcher，Dragon Hatcher.It’s about a young boy who went into a mysterious shop and bought a dragon egg that ended up hatching.It stuck in my head.Eragon was an attempt to see what I could do with the idea myself.
Reporter: Where else do you get your ideas?
CP: I’m definitely influenced by authors who have a fairly inventive use of language，imaginative worlds and a sense of wonder—authors who write about things that other people don’t.
Reporter: What was the hardest thing about writing Eragon?
CP: Probably the editing because I wasn’t used to it.It was a kind of shock doing it.But also I was having to learn a huge amount about grammar and commas and other things I’d never paid much attention to before.I’d say that editing and writing are pretty much equal in difficulty.My raw writing is a lot more professional now than it ever was before because of everything I learned through the editing process.
Reporter: How do you avoid becoming frustrated with the writing process?
CP: Write about what you enjoy the most or what touches you the most; otherwise you’ll never be able to survive a booklength project.
Reporter: Anything else you’d like to share with our readers?
CP: Before I wrote Eragon，I spent an entire month plotting out the entire story so I wasn’t writing blindly.That helps.I really poured my heart and soul into it. It’s not just an adventure story: it is about Eragon trying to work out who we are，why we are here and how we can live honorably.
72．The reporter’s first question is most likely to be “________”．
A．What’s the most interesting thing about Eragon?
B．What inspired you to write Eragon?
C．How has your writing improved after Eragon?
D．How long did it take you to write Eragon?
73．What does the underlined word “that” refer to in the third paragraph?
A．A story.
B．The sense of awe and wonder.
C．An idea.
D．A great book or movie.
74．What does Paolini find as difficult as writing?
A．Plotting out the story.
B．Grammar and commas.
C．The editing process.
D．The creative use of language.
75．Which of the following BEST indicates Paolini devoted himself completely to writing Eragon?
A．“Write about what you enjoy the most or what touches you the most.”
B．“Eragon was an attempt to see what I could do with the idea myself.”
C．“I spent an entire month plotting out the entire story.”
D．“I really poured my heart and soul into it.”

With the business units expanding globally，excellent leadership has played a significant role in the success of companies.One of the key team members in any corporate company is the general manager.A general manager is a requirement in every industry.
A general manager is expected to look into the matters related to the human resources.Precisely said，a general manager looks after the training needs of the employees.He also has to actively participate in the performance evaluation of the employees.
In addition，a general manager acts as liaison(联络) between the management and the employees.Some of the responsibilities of the general manager include monitoring the performance and achievements of the employees.The general managers also direct people to various goals and targets.Hiring good middle level managers is another important duty of general managers.Besides these，keeping a record and check of the firm’s growth is also done by the general managers.
Depending on the kind of business，the educational requirements of the general managers vary significantly.Generally，people with college degrees work up their way to managerial positions，but that happens in case the employee joined the company from its beginning and remained with the firm for a long time.However，as the business environment has become extremely challenging，many firms now hire management trainees with graduate or post graduate degrees in management-related subjects like finance，economics，management，etc.Since the past few years the trend of hiring Master’s in business administration has increased.
A general manager needs to handle different situations，so he should have many skills.For example，he should have all the basic leadership skills and can make his teammates perform better.A good manager should have the knowledge of effective time management and can plan the future steps for the growth of the company.In order to make a team perform well，a good manager should be able to motivate the team for their tasks.
So，if you have plans to enter into the corporate world，you have to start early and reach the position of a general manager，which will further open the doors for senior managerial positions.

Good morning，ladies and gentlemen，and welcome to our tour.Now we are on the way to some points of historical interest in the city.If you look out of the window on your right，you will see the Grange，one of the oldest buildings in the city.It was built 200 years ago，and still has most of the old furniture.Perhaps the most interesting thing is that every Saturday afternoon，you can come and watch them bake bread the way it was done 200 years ago.On your left is a university building.This university building is just 125 years old.We’ll be stopping in a quarter of an hour at Bridgetown Castle.It was built by Sir Henry Pellet for his young wife.He bought almost all of the building materials from England.Notice the beautiful glass windows.Unfortunately，Sir Henry’s young wife became ill and died before the castle was completed.Sir Henry became so unhappy that he left the castle and returned to England.No family members ever lived there.

According to a survey，many students become addicted to computer games and some even play computer games for a long time without sleeping and bathing.
From my point of view，I am strongly against students’ playing computer games too long because it causes many disadvantages.First，students addicted to computer games can’t concentrate on their study and therefore they fall behind other students and their scores get worse and worse.Second，spending too much time playing computer games instead of taking exercise will do harm to the students’ eyesight and make their body in bad condition.Third，some computer games are full of violence，blood and sex，and students may imitate and do something bad.
In conclusion，students should try to keep off computer games.They should make full use of their time to study hard and take more exercise for the sake of their future.

Michael，a typical American，stays at home on workdays.He plugs into his personal computer terminal(终端机) in order to connect with the office.After work，he puts on his headphones，watches a movie on his home video recorder，or plays baseball on the computer.On many days，Michael doesn’t talk to any other human beings，and he doesn’t see any people except the ones on television.Michael is imaginary(虚构的)，but his lifestyle is very possible.The inventions of modern technology seem to be cutting us off from contact with our fellow human beings.
The world of business is one area in which technology is isolating us.Experts say，for example，that many people will soon be able to work at home.With access to a large central computer，employees such as office clerks，insurance agents，and accountants could do their jobs at display terminals in their own homes.They would never have to actually see the people they’re dealing with.In addition，the way employees are paid will change.Workers’ salaries will be automatically paid into their bank accounts，making paper checks unnecessary.No workers will stand in line to receive their pay or cash their checks.Personal banking will change，too.Customers will deal with machines to put in or take out money from their accounts.
Another area that technology is changing is entertainment.Music，for instance，was once a group experience.People listened to music at concert halls or in small social gatherings.For many people now，however，music is an individual experience.Walking along the street or sitting in their living rooms，they wear headphones to build a wall of music around them.Movie entertainment is changing，too.Movies used to be social events.Now，fewer people are going out to see a movie.Many more are choosing to wait for a film to appear on television or are borrowing videotapes to watch at home.Instead of laughing with others，viewers watch movies in their own living rooms.
1．After work，Michael likes to ________.
A．listen to music at the concert hall
B．watch a movie in his living room
C．run a program on his computer in his office
D．play baseball with his workmates
2．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A．Clerks will be able to work at home.
B．One can play baseball on the computer.
C．One can listen to music without disturbing others.
D．One can borrow books from libraries at home.
3．The sentence “Michael is imaginary，but his lifestyle is very possible.” in Paragraph 1 means ________.
A．Michael is a person full of imagination and he can make his dreams come true
B．Michael is not a real person but the lifestyle does exist
C．Michael is a person full of imagination and his lifestyle is common nowadays
D．Michael is a real person but the lifestyle does not exist
4．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．We may no longer need to communicate with other human beings.
B．Modern technology seems to be separating human beings.
C．We may no longer need to work in the office.
D．Modern technology makes it possible for us to work and entertain ourselves at home.
