Coming home from school that dark winter day so long ago, I was filled with excitement of having the weekend off. But I was 36 into stillness by what I saw. Mother, seated at the far end of the sofa, was 37 , with the second--hand green typewriter on the table. She told me that she couldn't 38 fast and then she was out of work. My shock and embarrassment at finding Mother in tears was a perfect proof of how 39 I understood the pressure on her. Sitting beside her on the sofa, I began very slowly to understand. "I guess we all have to 40 something," Mother said quietly. I could 41 her pain and the tension of 42 the strong feeling that were interrupted by my 43 . Suddenly, something inside me lit up. I reached out and put my arms around her. She broke then. She put her face 44 my shoulder and sobbed. I held her 45 and didn't try to talk. I knew I was doing what I should, what I could and that was 46 . At that moment, feeling Mother's 47 with feelings, I understood for the first time her being easy to 48 . She was still my mother, 49 she was something 50 : a person like me, capable of fear, 51 and failure. I could feel her pain as she must have felt mine on a thousand occasions when I sought 52 in her arms.
A week later Mother took a job selling dry goods at half the salary the radio station 53 .
"It's a job I can do, though." She said simply. But the evening practice on the green typewriter continued. I had a very 54 feeling now when I passed her door at night and heard her 55 away across the paper. I knew there was something more going on in there than a woman learning to type.

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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Nowadays more and more foreign enterprises and companies are no longer relying on interviews for employment. Years of studying interviewing have made it clear that it is not a very objective(客观的) process. Personnel officers often hire the person they like best, or even the one they think most physically attractive. Looking good is no guarantee(保证) of doing the job well, however. Uglies or those who are aesthetically(审美地)challenged, lose heart.
To get a more objective view, many companies are also using psychological tests to hire both for relatively daily jobs and for positions at senior levels of management. It is impossible to say how many employers use tests, but estimates of test sales in the UK for 2004 were over ￡1.5 million.
The basic reason employers use tests is clear: tests claim(声称) to be scientific and objective. A large body of research has shown that interviews by themselves are not very reliable as a method of selection. People's judgements are often very subjective: whether they like the look of someone counts for more than almost anything else. But reliable and valid(有效的) effective tests can offer rapid and more objective information about a would be employee. If a candidate talks well in an interview but his test results suggest that he is a careless person who cannot concentrate, an employer is likely to think twice about hiring him.
Taking a serious test for a job is rather different from taking a game-like test. You can spend just a little in answering questions of that kind of test, and you deny the answers and say they are not accurate. But you cannot go to a serious test without enough preparation since you can not afford to be denied and removed again and again.
56. In the past, who would be sure to be employed after an interview?
A. The person who was well educated.
B. The person who had great abilities.
C. The person who was physically attractive.
D. The person who was appreciated by the personnel officers.
57. According to the passage, the underlined part "those who are aesthetically challenged" in the first paragraph refers to those who are _________.
A. thought to be good—looking B. most likely to do the job well
C. not attractive for their appearances D. given the job of interviewing the candidate
58. Many companies use psychological tests ___________.
A. to take the place of interviews
B. to select senior level clerks
C. to make the employment difficult for candidates
D. to gel really reliable and fair information about candidates
59. From the last paragraph, we can conclude that while taking a serious test for a job, _______.
A. you can not treat it as a game B. you can deny the answers
C. you can say the answers are not accurate D. you needn't make much preparation
B
Language is a major problem for the European Union (EU). The agreement or treaty（条约）which created the organization that eventually became the EU, the Treaty of Rome, stated that each country's language must be treated equally. The original (原来的)six countries had only three languages between them: French, German and Dutch/Flemish. However, there are now15 countries in the EU, with a total of 12 languages. EU documents must be translated into all these languages , and at official meetings the speeches must be translated into all the languages by interpreters .
All this translating is very expensive and time-consuming(费时的). It is said that nearly half of all employees of the EU am engaged in translating documents and speeches, and nearly half of the EU's administrative(管理方面的)costs are spent on this task. In the near future it is probable that several more countries, most of them having their own languages, will join the EU, thus making the situation even worse.
The problem is not just cost; there are practical difficulties as well . With 12 languages, there are 132 possible "translation situations" that might be needed. It is often difficult to find people in the right place at the right time who can translate from (for example) Danish into Greek, or Dutch into Portuguese, at a high professional standard.
In practice the problem has been made less severe by the use of English in many contacts (接 触)between EU officials, since almost all of them speak some English.. However, any move to reduce the number of official languages (perhaps to four or five) would be a blow to the pride of the smaller countries. Another commonly suggested solution is to make English the official language for all EU business. However, this is strongly resisted by powerful member countries like France and Germany.
60. The organization that eventually became the EU______________.
A. was started by France and Germany
B. started with three countries
C. was set up by the Treaty of Rome
D. included 132 languages
61. What's the main purpose of this passage?
A. To give a solution to a problem.
B. To find out a problem and show how severe it is.
C. To criticize the European Union for inefficiency.
D. To show that the problem cannot be solved.
62. According to the writer, the use of English in contacts among EU officials has____________.
A. angered the officials who don't speak English
B. reduced the number of official languages
C. lessened the effect of the problem
D. been opposed by powerful member countries
63. The writer mentions "Danish into Greek" as an example of________________.
A. a situation that might be difficult to deal with
B. a situation that occurs often
C. one of the 12 situations that requires an interpreter
D. languages easily being interpreted
64. The writer suggests that if the number of official languages was reduced ______________.
A. the EU would not know which official languages to choose
B. countries whose languages were not used officially would be unhappy
C. only languages which are easy to translate would be used officially
D. the smaller member countries would be pleased
C
A few years ago, a pilot had to have perfect eyesight and a college degree if he or she wanted to land a job with an American airline. But today, airlines have quitted those requirements because they can't find enough qualified pilots.
Airlines must hire up to 62,000 new pilots in the next decades. But qualified pilots are few in the United States. Every year there are more planes being flown. At the same time, 12 to 15 foreign countries are recruiting(招募) American pilots.
As a result, pilots are earning spectacular(惊人的) salaries. The going rate for skilled pilots is well over $ 180,000 a year. Some pilots can earn about $ 320,000 plus free housing working for foreign airlines.
Because of the shortage, some people say unqualified pilots are being allowed to fly planes. They fear the number of crashes will increase. Each year, more and more pilots with less than 2,000 hours of experience are being hired. Airlines are also bringing on board many more pilots who are older than 50, although law requires pilots to retire at the age of 60.
Being an airline pilot is a difficult job that requires people to make life and death decisions under pressure. Some pilots crack(崩溃) under the pressure.
The military is also having a hard time keeping pilots. Air Force pilots have to spend at least six years in the Air Force. The Air Force invests(投资) millions of dollars to train each.
Experts say this problem is going to get a lot worse. Congress may organize a research group to study the country's pilot needs. In the meantime, salaries of pilot: will continue to rise and The number of crashes may keep pace.
65. What can we learn from the passage?
A. A shortage of pilots is caused by airlines and the military.
B. There have been more crashes because pilots have worse eyesight and higher salaries
C. A shortage of pilots may lead to more crashes.
D. Airlines should hire more pilots even if they are unqualified.
66. What does a pilot no longer need today?
A. Perfect eyesight. B. Military training. C. Two college degrees. D. Flying experience.
67. Air Force pilots have to stay in The Air Force for a certain period of time because the Air Force _________.
A. is a good place to work in B. pays more than airlines
C. has a hard time keeping pilots D. spends a lot of money training them
68. Some people won't be good pilots because ________.
A. they can't make right decisions quickly
B. they don't earn spectacular salaries
C. they aren't recruited by foreign countries
D. the number of crashes keeps pace with the pilot's salaries
D
CHINA and India possess the global might and energy to transform the 21st century economy. What makes the two giants(巨人) especially powerful is that they complement(补充) each other's strengths.
Technical and managerial skills in both China and India are becoming more important than cheap labor.
China will stay the most important place in mass manufacturing(制造业). India is a rising power in software, design, services, and precision(精密) industry.

The Chinese Ministry of Commerce says China India trade grew seven times between 2000 and 2004, reaching US$ 13.6 billion last year. Many analysts predict ii will hit US$ 30 billion by 2010. This raises a provocative(煽动性的) question: What if the two nations are combined into one giant "Chinadia"?
69. Why are China and India becoming powerful?

B. Because China will stay the most important place in mass manufacturing.

One hundred and thirteen million Americans have at least one bank-issued credit card(信用卡). They give their owners automatic(自动的) credit in stores, restaurants, and hotels, at home, across the country, and even abroad, and they make many banking services available as well. More and more of these credit cards can be read automatically, making it possible to withdraw (取回) or deposit money in different locations, whether or not the local branch bank is open. For many of us the "cashless society" is not on the horizon—it's already here.
While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too. Electronic cash registers can do much more than simply ring up sales. They can keep a wide range of records, including who sold what, when, and to whom. This information allows businessmen to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficient, allowing personnel and staffing assignments(人员安排) to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customers for promotional campaigns. Computers are relied on by manufacturers for similar reasons. Computer-analyzed marketing reports can help to decide which products to emphasize(强调) now, which to develop for the future, and which to drop. Computers keep track of goods in stock, of raw materials on hand, and even of the production process itself.
Many other commercial enterprises, from theaters to magazine publishers, from gas and public utilities(公共事业) to milk processors, bring better and more efficient services to consumers through the use of computers.
72. According to the passage, the credit card enables its owner to _______.
A. withdraw as much money from the bank as he wishes
B. obtain more convenient services than other people do
C. enjoy greater trust from the storekeeper
D. cash money wherever he wishes to
73. From the first paragraph we learn that _________.
A. in the future all the Americans will use credit cards
B. credit cards are mainly used in the United State today
C. nowadays many Americans do not pay in cash
D. it is now more convenient to use credit cards than before
74. The phrase "ring up sales" in line 2 paragraph 2 most probably means ______ .
A. make an order of goods B. record sales on a cash register
C. call the sales manager D. keep track of the goods in stock
75. What is this passage mainly about?
A. Approaches to the commercial use of computers.
B. Conveniences brought about by computers in business.
C. Significance of automation in commercial enterprises.
D. Advantages of credit cards in business.

One possible version:
Xiao Ming and his grandma were walking on their way home when they felt thirsty and bought two ice creams. After enjoying the ice creams, Xiao Ming threw the stick into the dustbin, meanwhile, his grandma threw it on the ground naturally. Having seen it, Xiao Ming picked up the stick and littered it into the dustbin. Grandma felt ashamed and spoke highly of Xiao Ming.
What a good boy! Child as he was, he set up a good example for us to follow. If every one of us does as Xiao Ming did, we can imagine how harmonious the society will be. No matter who we are, we can really contribute ourselves to building the Harmonious Society. Compared with the whole society, a person perhaps won’t have an opportunity to create a great cause. But if we paid more attention to some tiny things around us, we would offer a little to the development of the Harmonious Society.
