In a
recent column, a woman wrote to say that one of her guests at a dinner party
had 36 a fork, and she didn’t know how
to recover it. I wasn’t that guest, 37 over the last 10 years I have
taken three things from homes where I have been a 38

over as to how 40 can get these things back! I can’t do
it _41 and admit that I took them. This is
a small town, and I’m well 42_
here. If just one of these people talked about it, I would be 43 .
Abby,
what’s wrong with me? They are really 44
things. I thought about seeing an expert, but should I be 45
going to an expert, it would be all over town in no time. I’m sure
thousands of people 46 me wish to have the courage to return 47 .Should I just wait until it’s
48 ,then put the things in the mailboxes of their 49_ owners?

Beijing
is the most beautiful city in China
and Hong Kong the safest and second most
beautiful, according to a study by the China Institute of City Competitiveness.
The capital came in ahead of 558
other mainland cities and the two SARs（特别行政区），with a score of 0.756
points out of one for its impressive historical monuments and tourist
attractions. Gui Qiangfang,
the institute’s chairman, said：“The capital has a rich
history and culture, which have been key to its development.”The assessment (判断) took into consideration the
cities’ urban design, architecture, culture and natural beauty.
Factors including the
preservation of historical monuments, air quality, the transportation network,
city life, public space and GDP were also considered. Hong Kong, which ranked
second with 0.666 points, won praise for its skyscrapers, VictoriaHarbor
and the development of its service industry. Shenzhen took third spot with
0.664 points, scoring highly for its role as the pioneer of China’s opening
up and reform policies. Shanghai finished fourth with 0.663 points for being
the country’s financial center.
In the voting for the safest
city, which assessed the social, economic and ecological（生态的）development, Hong Kong
came first with 0.849 points. In this category, the cities’ crime rates,
stability of financial politics, authority of the government, industrial
accident rate, food safety and pollution situation, were considered. The
institute said Hong Kong had low crime, and the number of work-related
casualties（伤亡）is only 18.4 per 1,000 workers
last year.
Shanghai ranked second in the
safe city poll with 0.712 points, followed by Nanjing with 0.666 points. The institute said
Shanghai is
developing a harmonious society ahead of the 2010 World Expo.

voted for the most beautiful city in China?

Important changes took place in
the lives of women in the 19th century. When men went out from their
farms to cities to seek jobs in industry, peasant women had to take over the
sowing, growing, and harvesting of the fields as well as caring for cattle and
raising children. When women also moved to the cities in search of work, they
found that it was increasingly separated by sex and that employment
opportunities for women were limited to the lower-paid jobs. Later in the
century, women in industry gathered mainly in cloth-making factories, though
some worked in mining or took similarly difficult and tiring jobs.
In the 1800s, service work also
absorbed(吸纳) a great number of women who arrived in the cities from the
country. Young women especially took jobs as servants in middle-class and
upper-class homes; and as more and more men were drawn into industry, domestic service(家庭服务) became increasingly
a female job. In the second half of the century, however, chances of other
service work also opened up to women, from sales jobs in shops to teaching and
nursing. These jobs came to be done mainly by women and low paid.
For thousands of years, when
almost all work was done on the family farm or in the family firm(家庭作坊)，home and workplace had been the
same, In these cases, women could do farm work or hand work, and perform home
duties such as child care and preparation of meals at the same time. Along with
the development of industry, the central workplace, however, such as the
factory and the department store, separated home from work. Faced with the
necessity for women to choose between home and workplace, western society began
to give particular attention to the role of women as homemakers with more
energy than ever before.
60. We
learn from the first paragraph that had been done chiefly by men before they
went to cities to seek jobs.
A.
mining, teaching, and nursing
B.
sewing clothes and mining
C.
sowing, growing, and harvesting
D.
caring for cattle and growing crops
61. Domestic service became a female job
mainly because .
A. women took care of children
B. women took jobs as servants
C. men were employed in industry
D. men seldom worked in shops
62. We know from the passage that
in the 1800s _________.
A.
more and more women began to work in domestic service
B.
women mainly worked as servants, nurses, and miners
C. service and industrial jobs absorbed more women than men
D. women enjoyed working as sellers, teachers, and miners
63. This passage is about in the 19th century.
A.
service and industry B. female and male jobs
C.
women and their work D.
female jobs and the pay
(C )
I was now in my twenty third year of residence in this island and
was so naturalized to the place and to the manner of living that I could have
but enjoyed the certainty that no savages (野人) would come to the place to disturb me, I could have been content
to spend the rest of my time there, even to the last moment, till I had laid me
down and died, like the old goat in the cave.
I had also arrived to some little recreations and amusements,
which made the time pass more pleasantly with me a great deal than it did
before.
At first, I had taught my Poll to speak. And he did it so
familiarly and talked so clearly and plain that it was very pleasant to me. And
he lived with me no less than six or twenty years. How long he might live
afterwards, I know not; though I know they have an idea in Brazil that they
live a hundred years. Perhaps poor Poll may be alive there still, calling Poor
Robin Crusoe to this day. I wish no other English man the ill luck to come
there and hear him. But if he did, he would certainly believe it was the devil.
My dog was a very pleasant and loving companion to me, for no less
than sixteen years of my time, and then died of mere old age.
As for my cats, they multiplied to that degree that I had to shoot
several of them at first to keep them from eating up all I had.
Besides these, I had two more parrots which talked pretty well and
would all call Robin Crusoe, but none like my first. Nor indeed did I take the pains
with any of them that I had done with him.
I had also several tame sea-fowls（鸟）, whose names I know not, who I caught upon the shore and cut
their wings. And the little stakes which I had planted before my castle wall
being now grown up to a good thick bush, these fowls all lived among these low trees
and bred there, which was very agreeable to me; so that as I said above, I
began to be very well contented with the life I led, if it might but have been
secured from the threat of the savages.
64. What does the passage mainly talk about?
A. Robin Crusoe
loved animals and savages very much.
B. Robin Crusoe
trained his animals in pleasant ways.
C. The animals
raised by Robin Crusoe brought him much pleasure.
D. The savages
always spoiled Robin Crusoe’s happy life.
65. How many kinds of animals except humans are mentioned in this
passage?
A. 3. B. 5. C. 7.
D. 9.
66. What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 3
refer to?
A. savages. B. Brazilians. C. parrots.
D. islanders.
67. This passage is selected from a novel. The hero
of this novel probably comes from ______.
A. Brazil B. Britain C. Australia
D. the U. S.
( D )
In 1909 an English newspaper offered ￡1,000
to the first man to fly across the English Channel(海峡)
in an airplane. Today, modern aircrafts cross it in minutes. But at that time
it still seemed a good distance. The race to win the money soon became a race
between two men. Both were very colorful.
One was Louis Bleriot. He owned a factory in France that
made motor car lamps. He was already well known as a pilot because he had had
accidents several times. Some people laughed at him. One man said, “He
may not be the first to fly across the Channel but he will certainly be the
first to die in an accident!” But Bleriot was really a good and brave pilot. He
also had many good ideas about airplane design.
The other man was Hubert Latham. He was half French and
half English. He took up flying when his doctors told him he had only a year to
live. “Oh, well,” he said, “if I’m going to die
soon, I think I shall have a dangerous and interesting life now.”
Latham was the first to try the flight across the Channel. Ten kilometers from
the French coast, his plane had some trouble. It fell down into the water and
began to sink under the water. A boat reached Latham just in time. He was
sitting calmly on the wing and was coolly lighting a cigarette.
Bleriot took
off six days later. He flew into some very bad weather and very low cloud. He
somehow got to the English side and landed in a farmer’s field. When he did so,
a customs(海关) officer rushed up to his plane. Planes have changed since
then, but customs officers have not, “Have you anything to declare?” The
officer demanded.
68. The flight for Bleriot was _____.
A. a sad
one B. a dangerous one
C. his
first one D.
an easy one
69. Hubert Latham wanted to fly across the
Channel because _____.
A. he
thought he could manage it easily
B. he
wanted to be the first one to cross the Channel
C. he
knew he only had a year to live
D. he
had always been interested in flying
70. This text tells us that Latham _____.
A.
became a pilot on the doctor’s advice
B. was
born in France
and later became an English citizen
C.
managed to fly across the English Channel
D. was
saved by a boat when his plane was sinking

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. ____71____
Airlines must hire up 62,000 new
pilots in the decades. But qualified pilots are few and far between in the United States.
___72_____ At the same time, 12 to 15 foreign countries are recruiting(招募)
American pilots.
As a result, pilots are earning
attracting salaries. The going rate for skilled pilots is well over $90,000 a year. Some pilots can earn about
$160,000 plus free housing working for foreign airlines.
_____73____ They fear the
number of crashes will go up quickly. 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 pilot to
retire at 60.
Being an airline pilot is a
difficult job that requires people to make life and death decisions under
pressure. _____74_____
The military is also having a hard
time keeping pilots. Air Force pilots must commit to spending at least six
years in the Air Force. The Air Force invests millions of dollars to train each
pilot, so it doesn’t want to lose them.
Experts say this problem is going
to get a lot worse. Congress may establish a commission(a research group) to
study the country’s pilot needs. ____75_______
A. In the meantime, salaries of pilots will
continue to rise and the number of crashes may keep pace.
B. But today, airlines have quitted those
requirements because they can’t find enough qualified pilots.
C. Because of the shortage, some people say
unqualified pilots are being allowed to fly planes.
D. Every year there are more planes being flown.
E. Some pilots crack under the pressure.
F. A few years later, airlines can’t find qualified
pilots.
G. However, every year there are less planes being
flown.
A.
Giving directions. B.
Making an appointment. C. Asking
for permission.

Good Friend, A Second Self
I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard my name called for
the leading role in our high school play. Mrs. Dermitt,
my drama teacher, had been looking for someone to play an energetic boy in a
comedy. Luckily for me, she thought that I could handle the 36
That afternoon my friend Kevin and I talked 37 about the play. Although Kevin hadn’t
been 38 for a part onstage, his job with the set
crew was important to the success of the play. I told him I was a little 39 because I had a lot of lines to memorize.
“You can do it.” He said. I knew I could 40 him:we had been

Preparations for the play moved at a rapid pace. While

Three days before the 44 night, everything was ready for the

While
watching the Olympics the other night, I came across an unbelievable sight. It
was not a gold medal, or a world record broken, but a show of courage.
The
event was swimming and started with only three men on the blocks. For one reason
or another, two of them false started, so they were disqualified. That left
only one to compete. It would have been difficult enough, not having anyone to
race against, even though the time on the clock is important.
I
watched the man dive off the block and knew right away that something was
wrong. I’m not an expert swimmer, but I can tell a good dive from a poor one,
and this was not exactly medal quality. When he resurfaced, it was evident that
the man was not out for gold―his arms were waving in an attempt at freestyle.
The crowd started to laugh. Clearly this man was not a medal competitor.
I
listened to the crowd begin to laugh at this poor man who was clearly having a
hard time. Finally he made his turn to start back. It was pitiful. He made a
few desperate strokes and you could tell he was worn out.
But
in those few awful strokes, the crowd had changed.
No
longer were they laughing, but beginning to cheer. Some even began to stand and
shout “Come on, you can do it!” and he did.

In
Alexandria, Virginia,
the two thousand students at T.C.WilliamsHigh
School started classes last month in a new
building. It was built as a “green” school based on requirements from the
United States Green Building Council.
The
council is a nonprofit organization made up of building industry leaders. It
has a rating system for buildings called Leadership in Energy and Environmental
Design, or LEED.
In
2001, there were four schools asking for LEED certification. Now there are four
hundred, including T.C. Williams.
So far, fifty-eight schools have
been recognized for meeting the requirements. These include protecting natural
areas and limiting the amount of chemicals in building materials. They also include better
lighting and improved indoor air quality. Buildings are also rated on how well
they use energy and water, and on things like the use of recycling programs. At
T. C. Williams, one example of green design can be seen in the many windows
that let in natural light. Students say the sunny rooms help them stay awake
during class.
A
rooftop garden is designed to provide storm water control and help keep the
building cool in the sun. And an underground tank can store 1,700,000 liters of
rainwater for air conditioning and other systems.
The
new building cost about 90,000,000 dollars to build. It stands next to the old
T. C. Williams building, which officials say will slowly be taken apart and
recycled. T.C.WilliamsHigh School
is still waiting for the final part of the LEED certification process. Schools
receive points for the number of requirements they meet. Buildings are rated
silver, gold or platinum.
Around
the country, concerns about limited budgets for public schools sometimes lead
to objections to investing in “green” schools. But the Green Building Council
points to a report by Capital E, a Washington D. C. company that serves the
clean energy industry. Capital E examined the cost of thirty “green” schools in
the United States.
It says the average cost was only two percent higher compared to a traditional school.And it says this extra cost is small compared to the
savings over time from lower energy and water costs and healthier students.
63. The United States Green Building
Council aims to ______.
A.
collect money for “green” schools
B.
construct “green” buildings on its own
C.
promote the construction of “green” schools
D.
evaluate the “greenness” of any school building

A.
LEED evaluates the buildings at four different levels
B.
Capital E designed many requirements for “green” schools
C.T.C.WilliamsHigh School has received LEED
certification
D.
LEED is provided by the United States Green Building Council
65. The underlined word they in Paragraph 3 refers to
______.
A.
the requirements
B.
the natural areas
C.
the building materials
D.
the amount of chemicals
66. What can be inferred from the last
paragraph? ______.
A.
Green schools cost more than traditional ones.
B.
Capital E is devoted to the clean green industry.
C.
Green schools will have more benefits in the long term.

Limited budgets cause a disagreement on “green” schools.

While most teenagers earn the
minimum wage from weekend jobs, Jonathan Grubin, a
16-year-old boy, has logged on to an online success which turned over ￡ 75,000 last year.
Now
his success is already beginning to show with the launch of ForFree4U.
co. uk, which offers visitors free iPods and digital cameras for signing up their friends to
its advertisers. Jonathan has got more than 55,000 members to the site in less
than two years, sending off ￡ 25,000 worth of products.
His
success is down to a business move known as affiliate marketing, a web-based
marketing practice in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each
visitor or customer brought about by the affiliate’s marketing efforts.
The
RoyalGrammar School student said: “I have
always been interested in websites and the ideas behind them. I thought, ‘if
only there was another way I could get my hands on these goods’, so I made a
website for a bit of fun.” Jonathan added: “I partner with some advertisers,
and they send me commission(佣金) each time I get them a new
customer. I offer visitors to my website a reward when they sign up.”
“Advertisers
were very quick to realise the potential of the
network. Affiliate marketing is
highly successful for advertisers because they only pay when they see results.”
“When
you run an expensive television advertising campaign, nothing is guaranteed.
But with my business model, advertisers only pay their commission when they see
results.”
Jonathan,
who works from his computer at home, launched his first website when he was 12
offering mobile phone wallpapers and screensavers after rival sites were
charging youngsters for downloads.
He
also runs livenewcastle. co. uk, a resource website for Newcastle with listings,
reviews and directories. He added: “I remember receiving my first cheque, it was ￡ 10.44, and I was amazed that
I had received it. The only thing I really want to do is to be able to work for
myself.”
“There
are a lot of downsides, but there are advantages too. The fact is that I am so
young, and when I’m 20, I’m going to have a lot of knowledge and experience
that most people won’t have until they are 30 or 40.”
67. Which of the following helps lead to
the success of ForFree4U. co. uk?
______?
A.
It provides visitors with presents for
signing up their friends to its advertisers.
B.
It offers teenagers mobile phone wallpapers and screensavers for free.
C.
It gets payment when it publishes ads.

It charges youngsters for downloads.

B.
Jonathan is a student of RoyalGrammar School.
C.
Jonathan founded the websites for money only.
D.
Jonathan is in charge of two websites now.
69. According to the passage, it’s
obvious that ______.
A.
Jonathan’s websites are popular with both visitors and advertisers
B.
visitors sign up on Jonathan’s website in order to get rewards
C.
advertisers pay for their products being advertised online
D.
Jonathan is interested in working all by himself
70. The passage is mainly about ______.
A.
a smart online advertising technique
B.
a promising business web-master
C.
a web-based marketing producer
D.
a successful online marketing

Today’s
career assumptions are that you can get a lot of development, challenge and job
satisfaction and not necessarily be in a management role.
“I
hated all the meetings,” says a 10-year award-winning manager, “And I found the
more you did for people who worked for you, the more they expected.”
Managing
others is always a tough task, but in the past that stress was balanced by
hopes for career mobility and financial rewards. Along with a sizable pay
raise, people chosen as managers Would begin a nearly automatic climb up the
career ladder to lucrative executive private benefits: company cars, club
memberships, plus the key to the executive washroom.
But
in today’s global, more competitive showground, a manager sits in an insecure
chair. Restructuring has removed layer after layer of management as companies
come to view their organizations as collections of talents rather than
hierarchies(等级). There are far fewer steps
for managers to climb. Also,
managerial jobs demand more hours and headaches than ever before but offer
slim, if any, financial paybacks and perks.
Now
managers must manage many people who are spread over different locations, even
over different continents. They must manage across functions with, say, design,
finance and marketing.
In
an age of entrepreneurship, when the most praised people in business are those
launching something new, management seems like an invisible, thankless role.
Employers are looking for people who can do things, not for people who make
other people do things.
In
addition, the Dilbert factor is at work. With Dilbert’s popular cartoon
character as well as many television situation comedies routinely describing
managers as fools or enemies, they just don’t get much respect any more.
Moreover,
it may not pay to be a manager at least not the way it once did. Ms. Chmielewski says, “The emotional rewards can be great, and
there were times when I enjoyed management. But a 10-to-11-hour day and one
weekend day a month is the norm.”
With
more people cautious of joining management, are companies being hurt or
worrying about developing future leaders? Not many are. While employers have
fired a lot of managers, they believe many more candidates linger on at many
companies. “Another reason why companies aren’t short of managers”， argues Robert Kelley, a business
professor, “is that so many workers today are self-managed, either individually
or via teams, you don’t need a manager.”
71. By writing the passage, the writer
seems to ______.
A.
explain reasons for firing managers
B.
advise people not to become managers
C.
express dissatisfaction of some managers
D.
encourage managers to be more competitive
72. Compared with the past, the managing
job today is more ______.
A.
demanding B. rewarding C. questionable D. acceptable
73. The author mentions what Ms. Chmielewski says to reflect that ______.
A.
the managers’low working efficiency makes them less
paid
B.
the gain of being a manager is not as satisfactory as before
C.
she enjoys great emotional rewards of being a manager
D.
she misses the past enjoyment of being a manager
74. What can we learn from the passage? ______?
A.
Managers have more chances to be promoted now.
B.
Managers were not satisfied with the way they were treated.
C.
It is unnecessary for a qualified manager to manage a variety of fields.
D.
The cartoon character by Dilbert contributes to the bad image of managers.
75. What can we infer from the last
paragraph? ______?
A.
More and more people are eager to become managers.
B.
There will be more managers to be employed in the future.
C.
Employers think it easy for them to find managers in the future.
D.
Team-work makes it possible for companies not to hire more managers.
