四、阅读理解 （2*5=10’）
The world itself is becoming much smaller by using modem traffic and modern communication means (通讯设备). Life today is much easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it has brought new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it.
Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious because there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in one place, Man moved to another place. But this is no longer true. Man is now slowly polluting the whole world.
Air pollution is still the most serious. It's bad for all living things in the world, but it is not the only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us angry more easily.
Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from burning coal (煤) in houses and factories in the city, and from putting dirty smoke into the air.
Pollution by SO2 is now the most dangerous kind of air pollution. It is caused by heavy traffic. It is sure that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution.
The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must take care of the rise in population at the same time.
( ) 1. Our world is becoming much smaller ___.
A. because the earth is being polluted day and night. B. thanks to science development
C. because of the rise in population D. because the earth is blown away by the wind every year
( ) 2. Thousands of years ago, life was ____ it is today.
A. much easier than????? B. as easy as C. as hard as??????????? D. much harder than

( ) 4. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution because ____.
A. it's bad for all living things in the world B. it makes much noise
C. it makes our rivers and lakes dirty D. it makes us angry more easily
( ) 5. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Many countries are making rules to fight pollution.
B. The pollution of the earth grows as fast as the world's population does.
C. If people could go to work by bus or bike instead of car or motorbike, it would be helpful in fighting against the problem of SO2.

七、任务型阅读。(1’X10=10’)
Communication here means that people talk with each other about what they know, think and feel. We can learn a lot from good communication in our daily life. Part of the communication is unspoken. We sometimes show our feelings with our eyes, faces, bodies and attitudes(态度). Some personal qualities can make good communication, including appearance, ability to speak, beautiful voice, how to hold the interest of others, and so on.
What should we do so that our communication will be useful? Here are suggestions.
Firstly, you should be yourself. Successful people never change personal character from one situation to another. They’re the same whether they’re having a talk with their close friends or being interviewed for a job. They communicate with their whole being.
Secondly, whether you’re talking to one person or more, always remember to look at them. Don’t break eyes contact while talking. As you enter a room, move your eyes comfortably, and then look directly at those in the room and smile. This shows clearly that you are relaxed. Smiling is important. The best kind of smile is gentle and comfortable.
You should also get together information about other people. If you attend a meeting or an interview, don’t start throwing your opinions at once. Stop for a second. Be sure about what’s going on there. What’s the mood of the others — are they down, up, happy? Do they want to learn from you, or do they show any interest? If you can sense what’s happening to others, you will be better able to reach them. So, listen before you talk.
The fourth suggestion is that you get your energy up. Before the meeting, collect your thoughts about it. You walk calmly through the doorway. Pay attention to the person you are meeting to find out what he is interested in. Properly collected energy comes across when you sincerely believe something. Always be confident. The audience(观众) may disagree with you, but they can’t question your belief.
Lastly, I would like to tell you that you should not be too serious. That is to lighten up. Take a good hard look at yourself. Do you say “I” too often? Do you complain often? If you answered yes to even one of the two questions, you are nervous and need to be more relaxed.
How to make our 1 useful
Suggestions What you should do What you shouldn’t do
Be yourself Always be the same and communicate with your whole being. Don’t change your character in __2 situations.
Use your eyes and smile Make direct eye contact. Present a 3 smile. Don’t break eye contact. You shouldn’t look in other __4 instead of facing them.
Listen 5__ talking Stop for a short time to know the others’ mood and what is happening to them. Never begin your talk immediately.
Get your energy up Be 6_ and think clearly and carefully before the meeting. Pay attention to the person you’re meeting. You mustn’t think about yourself after __7 the meeting room.
Lighten up Try to be 8 . Don’t say “I” too often or complain too__9 ____.
Conclusion Good communication depends on (取决于) personal 10 .
