A feeling of excitement overcame me as I looked around the stadium.
At 5:30 pm, two hours before game time, I walked into the locker room（更衣室）. My 1 of school, music and what I planned to do on Saturday night were 2 with the simple aim to beat the football team across the field from us tonight.
Approaching my locker（衣物柜）, I noticed my teammates 3 . Some rested on benches, staring up at the ceiling 4 it were a film of the opposing team’s play. Some seemed a bit more 5 , using the time to tell jokes. A few stared at the field, 6 what will happen in 120 minutes.
Our coach, Tony Severino, came out of his office at 6 o’clock. He told the team how 7 this game was for the season, between two of the state’s top teams—my school and our opposing team, Liberty High School. His words gave the team impulse（冲动）it needed to 8 .
At 7:10 pm, warm – ups finished, we went over the game 9 and discussed what we needed to do for the next three hours. The sound of the national anthem（国歌） 10 that we were only minutes from the action. Our coach usually made a final 11 . But tonight was different. On this clear night he 12 looked around the room at all the players and shouted, “Let’s go and get them.” Even 13 the “get” came out of his mouth, we were already 14 our way out of the door.
Outside, a few young fans reached to touch our hands, eager to be a 15 of our school’s winning tradition. When I smiled and 16 my hand, the young faces lit up as if they had just met Superman.
Seconds later, the team ran onto the 17 , moving as a mass of blue, in front of a packed stadium. We enjoyed a noisy 18 from fans and the fight song played by our school band. Breathing in the 19 of one of the biggest game of the year, I felt we were sure to win. I told myself, “This was what it was all about” and 20 that it was for moments like this that I loved high school football.

He has lived through various dangers but time may be running out for the Palestinian leader , Yasser Arafat .
On September 11, Israel（以色列）announced its decision to remove him , following several Palestinian suicide bomb attacks on Israel . “He should be punished for the killings ,” an Israeli official said , “He has done nothing to stop the terrorist groups .”
But the decision has angered many other countries . China said that Arafat is the true leader , elected by the Palestinian people , and removing him would harm the peace in the Middle East . This idea is shared by other governments .
Arafat himself said : “They can kill me , but never get me out of my country .” He has spent most of his life in danger as the most important aim of Israel .But , just like a cat with nine lives , Arafat escaped every time .
For years he has made a practice of sleeping in a different bed each night , thinking a moving person is harder to hit . In 1985 , Israel sent fighter planes to kill Arafat . The wild bombing destroyed his office in Tunis but Arafat himself was unhurt . In 1992 , the aircraft in which he was flying over north Africa broke in two during a crash landing .

What is so unbelievable is that he always remains calm in great danger .
Israeli tanks and planes attacked his office building in Ramallah in December , 2001 . When they saw the attackers coming , Arafat’s bodyguards ignored his orders to stay still and carried him to safety underground . Seconds later , several bombs were dropped nearby . Though safe , his bodyguards were so frightened that they were wet in sweat .
But , Arafat , with Israeli tanks only 200 meters away , showed no fear at all . He stayed in the damaged office , talking by phone with foreign leaders in hope of preventing further attacks from Israel .
All these experiences have made him a beloved leader to his people and an enemy to some others .

A new period is coming. Call it what you will: the service industry, the information age, the knowledge society. It all translates to a great change in the way we work. Already we’re partly there, the percentage of people who earn their living by making things has fallen sharply in the Western World. Today the majority of jobs in America, Europe and Japan (two thirds or more are in many of these countries) are in the service industry, and the number is on the rise. More women are in the work force than ever before. There are more part-time jobs. More people are self-employed. But the breath of the great change can’t be measured by numbers alone, because it also is giving rise to new way of thinking about the nature of work itself. Long-held opinions about jobs and careers, the skills needed to succeed, even the relation between workers and employers-all these are being doubted.
We have only to look behind us to get some sense of what may lie ahead. No one looking ahead 20 years possibly could have seen the ways in which a single invention, the chip(芯片), would change our world thanks to its uses in personal computers, and factory equipment. Tomorrow’s achievements in biotechnology or even some still unimagined technology could produce a similar wave of great changes. But one thing is certain: information and knowledge will become even more important, and the people who own it, whether they work in factories or services, will have the advantage and produce the puter knowledge will become as basic a requirement as the ability to read and write. The ability to deal with problems by making use of information instead of performing regular tasks will be valued above all else. If you look ahead 10 years, information service will be leading the way. It will be the way you do your job.
26．Information age means _____________.
A．the service industry is depending more and more on women workers
B．heavy industries are rapidly increasing
C．people find it harder and harder to earn a living by working in factories
D．most of the job chances can now be found in the service industry.
27．Knowledge society brings about a great change that __________.
A．the difference between the workers and employers has become smaller
B．people’s old ideas about work no longer exist
C．most people have to take part-time jobs
D．people have to change their jobs from time to time
28．What does the author mean by referring to computers and other inventions
A．People should be able to act quickly to the advancement of technology.
B．Future achievements in technology will bring about big changes.
C．The importance of high technology has been paid no attention to.
D．Computer science will play a leading role in the future information services.
29．The future will probably belong to those who _________.
A．own and know how to make use of information B．can read and write well
C．devote themselves to service industries D．look ahead instead of looking back

One of the United States’ social problems is the breakdown of the two-parent family. Today, millions of American children grow up without fathers. Too often, these children lack the love and help they badly need and which they would ordinarily receive from not one but two parents. In the old days, American parents placed the needs of their children above their own. At present, however, nearly one half of all new marriages end in divorce(离婚), with often troubling results for their children. Worse, every year, thousands of teenage, unmarried Americans become mothers outside marriage, with generally terrible results for the mothers and children alike and for American society more generally. However, Chinese continue to value whole marriages. This is not to say that Chinese marriages are all perfect-they certainly are not, judging from increasing rates of divorce and extramarital affairs－but the willingness of Chinese to set aside their own needs and stay together for the sake of the children is admirable and worthy of study.
Families, in whatever form they may take, are important to Americans. If one was to ask a group of Americans what is dearest to them, the majority would say“family”.And yet, so many Americans spend much more time at work-that is, beyond the formal forty-hour work week-than they do with their own families. Obviously, the USA is one of the most powerful in the world, owing in large measure to“workaholism”（工作狂）.It seems to me that Chinese generally find a better balance between work and family needs than many Americans do. I don’t see the number of workaholics in China that I do in the United States（or American organizations in China）.Instead, average Chinese usually head home right after work（in the office or field），have meals together, and spend time with their family members. What’s more, Chinese try to make more time for grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins than many Americans; in many cases, multigenerational families live together. Of course, like many facts of Chinese society, this is all changing; increasing numbers of“New Chinese”are working longer hours and spending less time with their families than ever before. Still, while Americans do value their loved ones. I think we have something to learn from the Chinese about finding the proper balance between work and family.
30．The main point of the passage is .
A．family plays a very important role in America.
B．there is something about family for Americans to learn from China.
C．a proper balance between work and family needs to be found for Chinese
D．the Chinese have a proper balance between work and play
31．According to the passage, the American family value in the past is that .
A．Americans love their families more than their jobs.
B．Americans often set aside their children’s needs
C．Americans have a strong work desire
D．American parents place the needs of their children above their own
32．It can be concluded from the passage that .
A．in the author’s eyes, the breakdown of the two-parent family in China will be more serious than that in
the U. S. in the future.
B．today young Americans should reduce their material comforts in the interests of their children’s future
C．Chinese marriage is said to be all perfect
D．at present, nearly one half of all new marriages end in divorce in China
33．What does the author think according to the passage
A．Children living in one-parent families badly need their parents’ love and help
B．Children with one-parent need their parents’ money badly.
C．Chinese value whole marriage more than before. D．Work is dearest to most Chinese.

Nearly everyone is shy in some ways. If shyness is making you uncomfortable, it may be time for a few lessons in self-confidence. You can build your confidence by following some suggestions from doctors and psychologists.
Make a decision not to hold back in conversations. What you have to say is just as important as what other people say. And don’t turn down party invitations just because of your shyness.
Prepare yourself for being with others in groups. Make a list of the good qualities you have. Then make a list of ideas, experiences, and skills you would like to share with other people. Think about what you would like to say in advance. Then say it.
If you start feeling self-conscious in a group, take a deep breath and focus your attention on other people. Remember, you are not alone. Other people are concerned about the impression they are making, too.
No one ever gets over being shy completely, but most people do learn to live with their shyness. Even entertainers admit that they often feel shy. They work at fighting their shy feelings so that they can face the cameras and the public. Just making the effort to control shyness can have many rewards. But perhaps the best reason to fight shyness is to give other people a chance to know more about you.

As we know, it is very important that a firm should pay attention to the training of its staff as there exist many weak points in its various departments. Staff training must have a purpose, which I defined(解释) when a firm considers its training needs, which are in turn based on job descriptions and job specifications.
A job description should give details of the performance that is required for a particular job, and a job specification should give information about the behaviour, knowledge and skills that are expected of an employee who works in it. When all of this has been collected, it is possible to make a training specification. This specifies that the training department must teach for the successful performance of the job, and also the best methods to use in the training period.
There are many different training methods, and there are advantages and disadvantages of all of them. Successful training performances depend on an understanding of the difference between learning about skills and training in using them. It is frequently said that learning about skills takes place “off the job” in classroom, but training in using these skills takes place “on the job,” by means of such activities as practice in the workshop.
It’s always difficult to evaluate the costs of a training programme. The success of such a programme depends not only on the methods used but also on the quality of the staff who do the training. The evaluation of management training is much more complex than that.
60．To be successful in our training programme, we must understand the difference between
.
A．a job description and a job specification B．what is taught, and how it is taught
C．the costs and the quality of the programme D．the training contents and training in using
61．According to passage, which of the following statements is NOT true
A．As there exist weak points in different departments of a firm, the training of its staff is
highly necessary.
B．A training specification is based on the information collected from a job description and a job specification.
C．Training in using skills and learning about skills usually do not happen at the same time.
D．It’s easier to evaluate management training than to evaluate the training of workers and technicians.
62．The best title for the passage might be .
A．Staff training and its evaluation B．A successful training programme
C．How to describe and specify a job D．The importance of training the staff
63．From the passage we know the success of a training programme lies in .
A．the training methods and the quality of the training staff
B．the performance of the trainees in the programme
C．the places where the training programmes take place
D．the way to evaluate the training programme

Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day.“I was a clothes addict（有瘾的人）”he jokes.“I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled.” Today David wears casual clothes—khaki pants and a sports shirt—to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie.“I am working harder than ever.”David says,“and I need to feel comfortable.”
More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work. In the United States, the change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday（but only on Friday）.This became known as“dress-down Friday”or“casual Friday”.“What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing.”said business consultant Maisly Jones.
Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code.” “A lot of young people don’t want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company,“so it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative（保守的）dress code.”Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale（心境，士气）. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative influence on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,”one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”
64．David Smith refers to himself as having been“a clothes addict,”because .
A．he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirt B．he couldn’t stand a clean appearance
C．he wanted his clothes to look neat all the time D．he didn’t want to spend much money on clothes
65．David Smith wears casual clothes now, because .
A．they make him feel at ease when working B．he cannot afford to buy expensive clothes
C．he looks handsome in casual clothes D．he no longer works for any company
66．According to this passage, which of the following statements is FALSE
A．Many employees don’t like a conservative dress code.
B．Comfortable clothes make employees more productive.
C．A casual clothes code is welcomed by young employees.
D．All the employers in the U. S. are for casual office wear.
67．According to this passage, which of the following statements is TRUE
A．Company workers started to dress down about twenty years ago.
B．Dress-down has become an everyday phenomenon since the early 90s.
C．“Dress-down Friday”was first given as a favor from employers.
D．Many workers want to wear casual clothes to impress people.
68．In this passage, the following advantages of casual office wear are mentioned
EXCEPT . A．saving employees’ money B．making employees more attractive
C．improving employees’ motivation D．making employees happier

When I was younger, bedtime was always my favourite part of the day. Wearing soft pajamas and with Ian, my stuffed monkey, in my arms, I felt no pressure at all.
I named Ian after my uncle when I compared Ian’s long arms and legs to his. One night I ran up to Uncle Ian at a family party and told him I had named my monkey after him. His eyebrows wrinkled in confusion, then a chuckle（哈哈笑）escaped his lips. I guess he didn’t understand how important it was to me.
Even if Uncle Ian didn’t think my monkey was special, I certainly did. I dressed him in a white baby nightgown. My mother thought that Ian was the best-dressed stuffed animal in the world. Yes, he was certainly a fashionable creature. The strong cologne（科隆香水）I used on him years ago makes him still smell “pretty”.
For a long time, Ian went everywhere with me. He was my best friend, and I told him everything. But when I turned twelve, I realized I was too old for stuffed animals. I thought people would think I was babyish, so I put him in the cupboard with the rest of my teddy bears and dolls. I begged him to understand why I was doing this, but at the same time I longed to talk to him again.
It took me several years to realize that it was OK to miss Ian. I know now that maturity（成熟）doesn’t only mean growing up and taking on more responsibility. It also means holding on to your childhood and acting young sometimes.
Ian has been with me since I was six years old holding him in my arms connects me to my past and my present as I continue to grow and understand myself.

C．he could talk with her D．he was her most honest listener
3．We can learn from the text that the writer believes ________.
A．keeping stuffed animals is babyish
B．maturity doesn’t mean growing up and taking on more responsibility
C．one should keep to his childhood and act young sometimes even when he has grown up
D．human beings should be kind to animals

“The Lord of the Rings”, one of the best sellers in the new millennium（千年）, was made up of three parts——“The Fellowship of the Ring”, “Two Towers”, and “The Return of the King”. Millions upon millions of people have read it in over 25 different languages, but fewer know about the author and the history of the composition of the creative materwork.
John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born in South Africa in 1892. His parents died when he was a child. Living in England with his aunt, Tolkien and his cousins made up play languages, a hobby that led to Tolkien’s becoming skilled in Welsh, Greek, Gothic, Old Norse and Anglo-Saxon.
After graduating from Oxford, Tolkien served in World War I. In 1917, while recovering from trench fever, he began composing the mythology for The Rings. As a professor of Anglo-Saxon in 1930s at Oxford, Tolkien was part of an informal discussion group called the Inklings, which included several writers. The group was soon listening to chapters of Tolkien’s imaginative work “The Hobbit”.
Hobbit was a name Tolkien created for a local people that could best be described as half-sized members of the English rural（乡村的）class. Hobbits live in hillside holes. One of them, Bilbo Baggins, looks for treasures with a group of dwarves（侏儒）. On the way, he meets the twisted, pitiful creature Gollum, from whom he sees a golden ring that makes the holder invisible.
One of Tolkien’s students persuaded her employer, publisher Allen & Unwin, to look at a draft（草稿）. The chairman of the firm, Stanley Unwin, thought that the best judge for a children’s book would be his ten-year-old son. The boy earned a shilling for reporting back that the adventure was exciting, and “The Hobbit” was published in 1937.
It sold so well that Unwin asked for a continuation. Over a dozen years later, in 1954, Tolkien produced “The Lord of the Rings”, a series of books so creative that they hold readers—new and old —after their publication.
5．What can we learn from the text
A． “The Lord of the Rings” didn’t sell well in the last millennium.
B．People know better about Tolkien himself than about his works.
C．Tolkien was quite familiar with Old English.
D．Tolkien knew very well about different kinds of local languages in Africa.
6．What can we learn about “Hobbit” that Tolkien created in his works
A．Hobbit was a race living in English downtown areas.

Having reached the highest point of our route according to plan, we discovered something the map had not told us. It was impossible to climb down into the Kingo valley. The river lay deep between mountain sides that were almost vertical（垂直）.We couldn’t find any animal tracks, which usually show the best way across country, and the slopes were covered so thickly with bushes that we could not see the nature of the ground. We had somehow to break through to the river which would give us our direction out of the mountains into the inhabited lowlands.
Our guide cut a narrow path through the bushes with his long knife and we followed in single file. Progress was slow. Then, when we thought we had really reached the river, we found ourselves instead on the edge of a cliff with a straight drop of 1,000 feet to the water below. We climbed back up the slope and began to look for another way down. We climbed slipped, sweated and scratched our hands to pieces and finally arrived at the river. Happily we came downhill along its bank without having to cut our way. However, after a few miles the river entered a steep-sided gap between rocks and suddenly dropped thirty-five feet over a waterfall. There was no path alongside it and no way round it.
Then one of the guides saw a way of overcoming the difficulty. There was a fallen tree lying upside down over the waterfall with its leafy top resting on the opposite bank below the falls. Without hesitation he climbed down the slippery trunk to show us how easy it was. Having got to the fork of the tree, he moved hand over hand along a branch for four or five feet with his legs hanging in space, then he dropped onto the flat bank the other side, throwing his arms in the air like a footballer who has scored goal, and cheerfully waving us on.
68．Having reached the highest point on their route, the travelers expected to be able to .
A．track animals to the river B．put away the maps they had been using
C．come near to the river from a different direction D．get down to the river without much difficulty.
69．The travelers wanted to get to the river because .
A．it would lead them to the waterfall B．it would show them which way to go
C．it was the only possible way out of the mountains
D．it was a quicker way than going over the mountains
70．One reason why the travelers took so long to get to the river was that .
A．it was too hot to move quickly B．there was no proper path
C．they all tried to go different ways D．they could not follow the animal tracks
71．To get past the waterfall the guide had to .
A．use a fallen tree as a kind of bridge B．cross the river above the waterfall
C．slide down a steep river bank D．swing across the river from a high branch

Anxiety is the appropriate（适当的）emotion when the immediate personal terror—of a volcano, an arrow, a stab（刺伤）in the back and other disasters, all directed against one’s self-disappears.
The kind of world that produces anxiety is actually a world of relative safety, a world in which no one feels that he himself is facing sudden death. The anxiety exists as an uneasy state of mind, in which one has a feeling that something unspecified（不具体的）and indeterminable may go wrong. If the world seems to be going well, this produces anxiety—for good times may end. If the world is going badly—it may get worse. Anxiety tends to be without focus; the anxious person doesn’ t know whether to blame himself or other people. He isn’t sure whether it is the current year of the administration or a change in climate or the atom bomb that is to blame for this undefined sense of unease.
It is clear that we have developed a society which depends on having the right amount of anxiety to make it work…While we agree that too much anxiety is harmful to mental health, we have come to rely on anxiety to push us into seeing a doctor about a symptom（症状）which may indicate cancer, into checking up on that old life-insurance policy which may have out-of-date provisions in it, into having a conference with Billy’s teacher even though his report card looks all right.
People who are anxious enough keep their car insurance up, have the brakes checked, don’t take a second drink when they have to drive. People who are too anxious either refuse to go into cars at all—and so complicate the ordinary course of life—or drive so tensely and carefully that they help cause accidents. People who aren’t anxious enough take chance after chance, which increases the terrible accidents of the roads.
72．According to the author, anxiety is the emotion when .
A．one is filled with a sudden sense of uneasiness B．one sees no immediate danger
C．one has a vague sense about his life D．one feels that the world may go badly
73．The author holds that .
A．anxiety is a good thing B．anxiety is a symptom of mental illness
C．some anxiety can lead to changes for the better D．no anxiety is bad for society
74．According to the author, accidents of the road tend to be caused by .
A．all those who are too anxious B．all those who have anxiety
C．those who have no anxiety D．those who are not anxious enough
75．The best title for the passage would be .
A．One Man’s Thought about Anxiety B．The Right Amount of Anxiety
C．Anxiety versus Safety D．Different Attitudes to Anxiety

American researchers say drinking tea may help strengthen the body’s defense system against infection（感染）. Doctors at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, did the study. The team studied a chemical found in black, green, oolong and pekoe tea. This chemical is an amino acid（氨基酸）called L-theanine. The scientists say it may increase the strength of gamma delta T cells. That’s the letter T, not the drink. Gamma delta T cells are part of the body’s defenses.
First, the researchers mixed some of these cells with antigens（抗原）found in the amino acid. Antigens help the body react to infection. Then the scientists added some bacteria（细菌）. Within twenty-four hours, the cells produced a lot of interferon, a substance that fights infection. Cells not mixed with the antigens did not produce interferon.
In the second part of the study, eleven people drank five to six cups of black tea every day. Ten other people drank the same amount of instant coffee. That is dried coffee mixed with hot water.
Two weeks later, and again two weeks after that, the researchers tested the blood of all twenty-one people. They also looked at what happened when they added bacteria to the blood cells. They found that the tea drinkers produced five times more interferon after they started drinking tea. The coffee drinkers did not produce interferon.
Doctor Jack Bukowski led the study. He says the antigens added to the gamma delta T cells were responsible for the increased reaction to the bacteria. He says the study also showed that the cells were able to remember the bacteria and fight them again the next time.
Earlier research already has found that tea can help prevent heart disease and cancer. Doctor Bukowski says the new study must be repeated with more people. If the findings prove to be true, he says, then tea drinking might also help protect against bacterial infections. He says the amino acid L-theanine could be removed from tea and used as a drug to strengthen the body’s defenses.
1．We may know from the text that ________ can be found in different kinds of tea.
A．Gamma delta T cells B．L-theanine C．interferon D．bacteria
2．Tea may help strengthen the body’s defense system because it helps ________.
A．the body to produce more interferon B．the body to produce more gamma delta T cells
C．to add some bacteria to the blood cells D．to mix antigens with some of the cells in the body
3．According to Dr Bukowski, ________.
A．the findings of the study have already proved to be true
B．he has taken some amino acid L-theanine from tea and made a drug with it
C．further study is needed to prove the findings true
D．he is not sure whether tea can help prevent heart disease and cancer
4．What would be the best title for this Text
A．Tea Is Better Than Coffee. B．Tea May Help Fight Infection
C．Tea Can Help Prevent Cancer. D．Our Body Needs Tea

Maybe you never opened that account, but someone else did ——someone who used your name and personal information to commit fraud（造假）. When an imposter uses your name, your credit card number, or some other piece of your personal information for their own purpose –in short, when someone takes your personal information without your knowledge –it’s a crime, pure and simple.
The biggest problem is that you may not know your identity（身份）has been stolen until you notice that something’s wrong: you may get bills for a credit card account you never opened, your credit report may include debts you never knew you had, a billing cycle may pass without your receiving a statement, or you may see charges on your bills that you didn’t sign for, and even don’t know anything about.
If someone has stolen your identity, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) suggests that you take three actions immediately.
First, contact the fraud departments of each of the three major credit offices. Tell them to flag your file with a fraud alert（警告）including a statement that creditors should get your permission before opening any new accounts in your name.
Then, ask the credit offices for copies of your credit reports. Credit offices must give you a free copy of your report if it is not correct because of fraud. Review your reports carefully to make sure no additional fraudulent accounts have been opened in your name or unauthorized（侵权的）changes made to your present accounts. In a few months, order new copies of your reports to check your corrections and changes, and to make sure no new fraudulent activity has occurred.
5．What’s the subject discussed in the text
A.What you should do if your credit card is stolen.
B．What you should do if your identity is stolen.
C.What an imposter always does to make money.
D．What the Federal Trade Commission is about.
6．What should you do first when you find your identity is stolen
A．Inform creditors not to open any new accounts in your name without your permission.
B．Ask for copies of your credit reports and make sure no other frauds have been made.
C．Keep ordering new copies to check what you have already changed and corrected.
D．Always lock your ID card in your cupboard in case it should be stolen.
7．What is the most difficult thing for people to deal with identity frauds
A．No measures can work on the billing cycle.
B．There is no strict law for this kind of behaviors.
C．It might be a long time before you realize that.
D．The FTC does nothing except for three suggestions.
8．Which is the least possible if a fraud has happened to you
A．You may have debts in your credit card.
B．You may find charges on your bills unauthorized.
C．A new credit card may be opened in your name.
D．The fraud departments can find out the imposter right away.

One of the United States’ social problems is the breakdown of the two-parent family. Today, millions of American children grow up without fathers. Too often, these children lack the love and help they badly need and which they would ordinarily receive from not one but two parents. In the old days, American parents placed the needs of their children above their own. At present, however, nearly one half of all new marriages end in divorce(离婚), with often troubling results for their children. Worse, every year, thousands of teenage, unmarried Americans become mothers outside marriage, with generally terrible results for the mothers and children alike and for American society more generally. However, Chinese continue to value whole marriages. This is not to say that Chinese marriages are all perfect-they certainly are not, judging from increasing rates of divorce and extramarital affairs－but the willingness of Chinese to set aside their own needs and stay together for the sake of the children is admirable and worthy of study.
Families, in whatever form they may take, are important to Americans. If one was to ask a group of Americans what is dearest to them, the majority would say“family”.And yet, so many Americans spend much more time at work-that is, beyond the formal forty-hour work week-than they do with their own families. Obviously, the USA is one of the most powerful in the world, owing in large measure to“workaholism”（工作狂）.It seems to me that Chinese generally find a better balance between work and family needs than many Americans do. I don’t see the number of workaholics in China that I do in the United States（or American organizations in China）.Instead, average Chinese usually head home right after work（in the office or field），have meals together, and spend time with their family members. What’s more, Chinese try to make more time for grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins than many Americans; in many cases, multigenerational families live together. Of course, like many facts of Chinese society, this is all changing; increasing numbers of“New Chinese”are working longer hours and spending less time with their families than ever before. Still, while Americans do value their loved ones. I think we have something to learn from the Chinese about finding the proper balance between work and family.
65．The main point of the passage is .
A．family plays a very important role in America.
B．there is something about family for Americans to learn from China.
C．a proper balance between work and family needs to be found for Chinese
D．the Chinese have a proper balance between work and play
66．According to the passage, the American family value in the past is that .
A．Americans love their families more than their jobs.
B．Americans often set aside their children’s needs
C．Americans have a strong work desire
D．American parents place the needs of their children above their own
67．It can be concluded from the passage that .
A．in the author’s eyes, the breakdown of the two-parent family in China will be more serious than that in
the U. S. in the future.
B．today young Americans should reduce their material comforts in the interests of their children’s future
C．Chinese marriage is said to be all perfect
D．at present, nearly one half of all new marriages end in divorce in China
68．What does the author think according to the passage
A．Children living in one-parent families badly need their parents’ love and help
B．Children with one-parent need their parents’ money badly.
C．Chinese value whole marriage more than before. D．Work is dearest to most Chinese.

In many ways, the earliest periods of photography are the most satisfying. Learning to use the controls is easy and comes quickly, and you can measure the results in terms of sharp and correctly developed pictures. Once you have mastered that, you can start on the second step of your photographic work. Using these basic skills in a wide variety of situations to give the pictures you want, noticing what you see through the viewfinder and turning that into the most effective picture becomes totally interesting.
All good photographs have one thing in common; there is no doubt what the subject of the picture is meant to be. Every photographer must use those same standards to his or her work, not only to the finished results but to the subject before he or she takes it. Always work out quite clearly what the subject of the picture is to be and why you are taking the picture. For example,“I am going to take a picture of this street to show the different styles and ages of the buildings and that people have been living, working and shopping in them since time began.”By doing this you have a better idea of what to include in the picture and what to leave out. How often have you been shown photographs taken by people away on a trip somewhere The judgment is always similar, something about“the car park is out of the picture to the left”, or“you can’t quite see from this picture but if you go up the street”. The photographs are usually collections of buildings, people, parked cars, possibly a distant look of an ancient church, and best of all, a figure which you are told is Aunt Henrietta, disappearing in the middle distance. When photographers show you their pictures, they have a clear idea of what they want to bring to your attention, but it often does not appear in the picture. If they had given just a little of their time to think about their future judgment before taking the picture, then the picture would relate its own story. Good pictures can show their subjects quickly and easily.
69．What does the author mean by saying“in many ways, the earliest periods of photography are the most satisfying”
A．The skills of photography are not as satisfactory nowadays as before
B．The earliest pictures were the best pictures people have ever taken
C．The present-day photography depends more on technology than on art
D．Learning to produce a sharp and correctly developed picture is only the first step in photography and is easily learned.
70．What will it bring you if you decide the purpose of the photograph in advance
A．Allows you to leave out unnecessary material B．Allows you to stand in the best place
C．Helps you to vary the subjects of your pictures D．Means you waste less time.
71．Many photographers fail because .
A.their pictures include the buildings and people B.the details are not clear in their pictures
C．the subjects of their pictures are not obvious
D．the explanation given for their pictures is mistaken
72．What book is this passage most likely taken from
A．A book on photography for news reporters B．A book on how to photograph people
C．A book on choosing the right camera. D．A book on improving photographic techniques.

I tried as hard as I could to remain 36, but I had an empty feeling in my stomach. I stared down at my sweat covered, 37 hands.
I looked up again at the audience, realizing that these were 38 people. They were not just my mum and dad, who 39 say, "Good job!" even if I messed up the entire piece.
What if I had the wrong music What if I played the wrong notes
As it 40, I was never able to answer these questions because the spotlight was 41 for me. I grasped my hands tightly together, drying off the sweat.
Slowly I walked to the mulberry piano in the 42 of the room. It contained 88 demanding keys, which were waiting impatiently to be played．I swallowed the golfball-sized lump（隆起的） in my throat and sat down. 43, I opened the music．Next, I rested my still shaking hands on the ivory keys.
As my fingers played across the keys, I was becoming more 44 of my preparation for this moment. But the memory of my year of training came flooding back. I knew that I had practiced this piece 45 that I could play it backwards if 46 .
Although at one point I accidentally played two keys 47 the intended one, I continued to move my fingers automatically （自动的）.
My eyes burned holes into the page in front of me.
There was no 48 that I was going to lose my concentration. To keep this promise to myself, I leaned 49 and focused carefully on the music．
50 1 came to the end of the page, a warning 51 inside my head: DON' T MAKE A MISTAKE WHEN YOU TURN THE PAGE!
Needless to say, I 52 myself with all my heart and mind．And, proud of my "page- turning" feat（技艺） I finished the 53 of the piece without making a single mistake.
After the final note died away, a celebration went into action 54 my head．1 had finished．I had mastered （征服）the 55.

You get all sorts of demands, and the mark of a good hotel is to supply whatever is asked for without sounding surprised. If a guest asks for rubbers gloves, you don’t ask why. You say, “No problem. What color do you want ”
There have been some demands which, much as I would have liked to fill, I couldn’t. A Japanese businessman, for example, thought the manager of a hotel was like his girl friend so he asked me to marry him to the woman he loved. There was one time, however, we did help out. A young man thought that if he asked his girlfriend to marry him at the Ritz (一家以豪华著称的瑞士大旅馆) she would say yes. He asked us to put the ring in a cake, and she accepted.
Top hotels are used more and more to impress. They are used for doing business. If you’ve got something to sell, take your clients (客户) to the best hotel where the surroundings are quite helpful. A friend of mine working at Savoy Hotel tells the story about a man who gave him 5 pounds to say “Good morning, Mr. Smith” when he walked through the door with two other men. This he did, and could hear Mr. Smith saying, “I do wish they would leave me alone at this place.”
According to Julian Payne, the most powerful people in any hotel are the porters, who carry bags for hotel guests. “Porters can do almost anything. They can get you tables at the best restaurants or tickets for a popular concert. Don’t ask me how they do it or what their deal is because I don’t know. Most of them have been there for years. They know more about the history of the hotel and the guests than anyone else. They are invaluable. A head porter will come in even on his day off so he can say hello to someone he remembers visiting the hotel years ago.”
64. When guests ask for something strange, the manager of a good hotel would think ______.
A. how he can meet their needs B. why they have such demands
C. what problems the hotels has D. who is the best person to go to
65. Why are the porters considered the most powerful people in expensive hotels
A. They sell tickets for concerts. B. They can complete difficult tasks.
C. They know the history of hotels. D. They usually work in a hotel for a long time.
66. Which of the following examples explains “we did help out”
A. The hotel bought a ring for a young lady. B. A Japanese married the woman he loved.
C. The manager once acted as a captain. D. A young lady agreed to marry her boyfriend.
67. By saying “I do wish they would leave me alone at this place”, Mr. Smith ______.
A. showed that he disliked such people at the hotel
B. gave the impression that he was a constant guest
C. tried to make his clients feel sorry for him
D. sounded as if he was tired of such greeting

Haikou: A shark was killed after being dragged to shore at Yalong Berth beach in Sanya, South China’s Hainan Province, on Sunday afternoon.
It was the first time a shark had been caught in the beach area, a popular tourist site in Hainan.
Local fishermen said they caught the 3-meter-long, l-ton shark by chance When they were fishing in sea water 1,000 metres deep near the beach.
Police temporarily（暂时）protected the shark while oceanographers decided whether it was a species belonging to State protection.
Fishermen later killed and sold the shark after oceanographers confirmed that it was a whale shark and therefore not under State protection.
The shark was believed to have drifted into the area from the deep sea due to strong waves caused last week by Typhoon Imbudo. It had no open injuries but experts said they believed it suffered from internal（内部的）bleeding.
Local police officer Fu Chenggeng said beachgoers should not feel threatened by sharks because the fish never attack human beings on their own initiative. Fu said he had never heard of any shark attacks at the Sanya beach since he first started work there eight years ago.
However, police said they will improve the security system to safeguard tourists’ safety on the beach.

Friend is better than fortune. Friend is worse than poison in some cases. The two sentences above are opposite and seem to be unreasonable but they can be explained as follows: the first refers to all good friends who drive us towards good while the second all bad ones who lead us to wrong ways.
My ideal(理想的) friend is of course a good friend whose goodness is shown below-he has no bad likings, such as smoking and drinking. He lives in frugality(节俭). He studies hard so as not to waste his golden time. At home he honors his parents and loves his brothers; at school he respects his teachers and shares feelings of his classmates. He treats those truly who are true to him. In a word, he has all the good characters better than mine. I can follow him as a model. With his help I am free from all difficulties,
Indeed, if I have such a person as my friend, I shall never fear difficulty and I shall never know the existence of the word "failure".

Life gets noisier every day and very few people can be free from noise of some sort or another. It doesn't matter where you live--in the middle of a modern city, or a faraway village--the chances are that you' 11 be disturbed by jet planes, transistor radios, oil - powered engines, etc. We seem to be getting used to noise, too. Some people feel quite lonely without background music while they' re working.
Scientific tests have shown that total silence can be a very frightening experience for a human being. However, some people enjoy listening to pop music which is very loud, and this can do harm to their eardrums(耳鼓). The noise level in some discos is far above the usual safety level for heavy industrial areas.
One recent report about noise and concentration(专心) suggested that although a lot of people say that any noise disturbs their concentration, what really influences their ability to concentrate is a change in the level of noise. It goes on to say that a background noise which doesn't change too much(music, for example) may even help people to concentrate.
25. According to this passage, the noise pollution __
A. has become the worst in the countryside B. has become better in big cities
C. has spread from cities to villages D. has been controlled in modern cities
26. What does background music refer to
A. Music played while people are working. B. Music played in the backyard.
C. Noise that continues while you' re listening to other noises.
D. Music used to help people to concentrate.
27. Some people have their hearing harmed __
A. while listening to pop music B. in complete silence
C. when speaking loudly D. while watching TV
28. Which of the following isn't included among the things causing noise
A. trucks B. motorcycles C. electric engines D. jet planes
29. Scientists have discovered that what prevents people from concentrating on something is
A. all kinds of noise B. great changes in the level of noise
C. background noise D. popular music

Have you ever been in a meeting while someone was making a speech and realized suddenly that your mind was a million miles away You probably felt sorry and made up your mind to pay attention and always have been told that daydreaming is a waste of time.
"On the contrary, "says L. Giambra, an expert in psychology, "daydreaming is quite necessary. Without it, the mind couldn't get done all the thinking it has to do during a normal day. You can' t possibly do all your thinking with a conscious(有意识)mind. Instead, your unconscious mind is working out problems all the time. Daydreaming then may be one way that the unconscious and conscious states of mind have silent dialogues."
Early experts in psychology paid no attention to the importance of daydreams or even considered them harmful. At one time daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses. They did not have a better understanding of daydreams until the late 1980s. Eric Klinger, a professor of psychology, is the writer of the book Daydreaming. Klinger says, "We know now that daydreaming is one of the main ways that we organize our lives, learn from our experiences, and plan for our futures. Day- dreams really are a window on the things we fear and the things we long for in life."
Daydreams are usually very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand. It's easier to gain a deep understanding of your life by paying close attention to your day- dreams than by trying to examine your sleep dreams carefully. Daydreams help you recognize the difficult situations in your life and find out a possible way of dealing with them.
Daydreams cannot be predicated (预料). They move off in unexpected directions which may be creative( 创造性的 ) and full of ideas. For many famous artists and scientists, daydreams were and are a main source of creative energy.
30. The writer of this passage considers daydreams
A. hard to understand B. important and helpful
C. harmful and unimportant D. the same as sleep dreams
31. The writer quoted( 引用 )L. Giambra and Eric Klinger to __________.
A. point out the wrong ideas of early experts B. list two different ideas
C. support his own idea D. report the latest research on daydreams
32. Which of the following is TRUE
A. An unconscious mind can work all the problems out.
B. Daydreaming can give artists and scientists ideas for creation.
C. Professor Eric Klinger has a better idea than L. Giambra.
D. Early experts didn't understand what daydreams were.
33. What is the main difference between daydreams and sleep dreams
A. People have daydreams and sleep dreams at different times.
B. Daydreams are the result of unconscious mind while sleep dreams are that of conscious mind.
C. Daydreams are more harmful. D. Daydreams are more helpful in solving problems.
