Well, it's still a crime, but graffiti (涂鸦) has changed since the days of spraying your name on a wall to mark your territory. Street art has become much more sophisticated since a 17-year-old called Demetrius started spraying his \"tag\" , TAKI 183, all over the New York underground in 1971, and hip - hop culture was born. Hip-hop is a mixture of art, music and dancing, poetry, language and fashion. It came from young inner-city people who fell left out by their richer classmates and who were desperate to express themselves in any way they could. An experiment to control the spread of graffiti in Rochdale, Creater Manchester, has been sosuccessful that plans have been made by local street artists for an international convention in June. \"We're planning to get people together from different countries like France and Cermany for a week, \" says Liam, one of the organizers. The scheme started in 2000, and has attracted people of all age groups and both sexes. \" We all share a commen interest and get on really well with each other. \" The first site to be chosen was a subway. \" Before we began, people were afraid to use the subway. We had it cleaned up and now, with all the artists hanging out down there, people are using it again. People can relate to graffiti much more now. \" By providing places to display their talents legally, there has been a fall in the amount of \"tagging\" on people's private property. Street artists Temper developed his drawing skills at a young age. In art classes at school he was really frustrated because the Art teacher didn't spend time with him. They thought he was already very good at art and so spend more time with other students. So, at 12 years old, Temper started painting with all these guys he'd hooked up with who were about 22 years old. He looked up to them and loved what they were doing on the streets of

Wolvehampicn, England. \"The whole hip -hop scene was built up of different things and I did a bit of everything. But it was always the graffiti I was best at. \" he says. 16.Demetrius was a teenager bom in New York.[1分] ARight BWrong CNot mentioned

17.The graffiti scheme in Rochodale was for teenagers only.[1分] ARight BWrong CNot mentioned

Waste Not, Want Not

1 Bob and Clara Darlington, who own and run a farm in the North of England, have alwayslooked for new ways of making money out of the produce they grow. Their success began when they established a shop on their farm, so that people could come and buy fresh vegetables directly from them.

2 The business was an immediate success, and soon scored top marks in a competition set up by the Farm Retail Association to find the best farm shop in the country. The Association's inspectors found the Darlingtons' shop offered excellent service and value for money as well as quality fruit and vegetable.

3 Clara Darlington is a trained chef and, in addition to a range of home-grown foods and other local produce, she began offering a variety of prepared meals which she had made herself in the farmhouse kitchen. A small cafe alongside the farm shop was soon added, with everything that visitors could taste on the menu also being for sale in the shop.

4 Clara admits that starting the business was expensive, and she has worked very hard, but maintains that if the product is good, the public recognize this and buy it. \"I aim to offer the highest quality to our customers, whether they come in for a loaf of bread, or take a whole dinner-party menu. I take it as a compliment(恭维) if people take home one of my dishes to serve to their family and friends and get away with pretending they made it themselves. \"

5 So it was that the couple realized that they had a surplus of misshapen or damaged vegetables grown on the farm which were unsuitable for selling in the shop. Clara, not wishing to see them get thrown away, decided to turn them into soup.

6 The soup met with the immediate approval of customers to the shop and Clara now produces ten different varieties. She spent much of the summer traveling up and down to London by rail, doing presentations of the soups. As a result, they are now served in first-class railway restaurant cars belonging to three companies as well as being stocked by a number of high-class London stores. A.Professional recognition is obtained B.Ensuring that nothing gets wasted C.A necessary alternative to farming D.Time well spent is rewarded

第四部分：阅读理解（第31-45题，每题3分，共45分）

下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题。请根据短文内容，为每题确定1个最佳选项。第1篇

The Iceman On a September day in 1991, two Germans were climbing the mountains between Austria and Italy. High up on a mountain pass, they found the body of a man lying on the ice. At that height(10,499 feet, or 3,200 meters), the ice is usually permanent, but 1991 had been an especially warm year. The mountain ice had melted more than usual and so the body had come to the surface. It was lying face downward. The skeleton(骨架) was in perfect condition, except for a wound in the head. There was still skin on the bones and the remains of some clothes. The hands were still holding the wooden handle of an ax and on the feet there were very simple leather and cloth boots. Nearby was a pair of gloves made of tree bark(树皮) and a holder for arrows. Who was this man? How and when had he died? Everybody had a different answer to these questions. Some people thought that it was from this century , perhaps the body of a soldier who died in World War I , since several soldiers had already been found in the area. A Swiss woman believed it might be her father, who had died in those mountains twenty years before and whose body had never been found. The scientists who rushed to look at the body thought it was probably much older, maybe even a thousand years old. With modern dating techniques, the scientists soon learned that the Iceman was about 5,300 years old. Bom in about 3300 B.C., he lived during the Bronze Age in Europe. At first scientists thought he was probably a hunter who had died from an accident in the high mountains. More recent evidence, however, tells a different story. A new kind of X - ray shows an arrowhead still stuck in his shoulder. It left only a tiny hole in his skin, but it caused internal damage and bleeding. He almost certainly died from this wound, and not from the wound on the back of his head.

This means that he was probably in some kind of a battle. It may have been part of a larger war, or he may have been fighting bandits. He may even have been a bandit himself. By studying his clothes and tools, scientists have already learned a great deal from the Iceman about the times he lived in. we may never know the full story of how he died, but he has give us important clues to the history of those distant times.

31.The body of the Iceman was found in the mountains mainly because __________.[3分] Ahe was lying on the ice

Bhe was just on a mountain pass

Ctwo Germans were climbing the mountains Dthe melted ice made him visible

32.What can be inferred from paragraph 2?[3分] AThe Iceman lived a poor life.

BThe Iceman was struck dead from behind. CThe Iceman was killed while working.

DThe Iceman could have died from the wound in the head.

33.All the following are assumptions once made about the Ice man EXCEPT __________.[3分] Ahe was a soldier in World War I Bhe was a Swiss woman's long-lost father Che came from Italy

Dhe was born about a thousand years ago

34.The scientists made the deduction that the Iceman[3分] Ahad got a wound on the back of his head Bhad a tiny hole in his skin causing his death Cwas hit in the shoulder by an arrowhead Dwas probably in some kind of a battle

35.The word \"bandits\" in paragraph 4 could be best replaced by __________.[3分] Asoldiers Bhunters Crobbers Dshooters

The Best Way to Reduce Your Weight You hear this:\"No wonder you are fat. All you ever do is eat. \" You

feel sad:\"l skip my breakfast and supper. I run every morning and evening. What else can I do?\" Basically you can do nothing. Your genes, not your life habits, determine your weight and your body constantly tries to maintain it. Albert Stunkard of the University of Pennsylvania found from experiments that, \"80 percent of the children of two obese (肥胖的) parents become obese,as compared with no more than 14 percent of the offspring of two parents of normal weight. \" How can obese people become normal or even thin through dieting? Well,dieting can be effective, but the health costs are tremendous. Jules Hirsch, a research physician at Rockefeller University, did a study of eight fat people. They were given a liquid formula providing 600 calories a day.After more than 10 weeks,the subjects lost 45ka on average. But after leaving the hospital,they all regained weight. The results were surprising: by metabolic (新陈代谢的) measurement, fat people who lost large amounts of weight seemed like they were starving. They had psychiatric problems. They dreamed of food or breaking their diet. They were anxious and depressed; some were suicidal. They hid food in their rooms. Researchers wam that it is possible that weight reduction doesn't result In normal weight,but in an abnormal state resembling that of starved non - obese people. Thin people, however, suffer from the opposite: They have to make a great effort to gain weight. Ethan Sims, of the University of Vermont, got prisoners to volunteer to gain weight. In four to six months,they ate as much as they could. They succeeded in increasing their weight by 20 t0 25 percent. But months after the study ended they were back to normal weight and stayed there. This did not mean that people are completely without \"hope in controlling their weight. It means that those who tend to be fat will have to constantly battle their genetic inheritance if they want to significantly lower their weight. The findings also provide evidence for something scientists thought was true - each person has a comfortable weight range. The range might be as much as 9kg. Someone might weigh 60-69kg without too much effort. But going above or below the natural weight range is difficult. The body resists by feeling hungry or full and changing the metabolism to pusb the weight back to the range it seeks.

36.The first paragraph tells us that our weight is determinede by __________.[3分] AOur eating habit BOur life style COur work habit DOur genes

37.In Jules Hirsch's study, the subjects __________.[3分] Ashowed no health problem Bgained weight rapidly

Cwere all very short Dlived only on liquid food

38.After leaving the hospital, the eight fat people __________.[3分] Aattempted suicide Bwere back to normal weight Cwent mad

Dfollowed the advice of Hirsch's

39.In Ethan Sims study, the subjects were asked to__________.[3分] Astay in prison

Beat as much as they could Cbattle their genetic inheritance Dlower their weight

40.Which of the following statements is true?[3分] AEach person wants to eat to his heart's content. BEach. person has a weight range of 9kg. CEach person has a natural weight range. DEach person wants to control his weight.

Food for Learning In Eritrea, a small country in northeast Africa, approximately 80 percent of the population is illiterate. That percentage is even higher in woman. As in many developing countries, many Eritreans have traditional ideas about the role of women. They believe that women should stay home and take care of the family and should not get an education or look for a job. These beliefs are one of the factors that prevent Eritriea and other developing countries from improving their economic situation. Experience in many developing countnes has shown that educated women have fewer children and have more opportunities for improving their lives and the lives of their families. In Eritrea, in fact, there is great need for improvement. It is one of the poorest countries in the world. For many Eritrean families, getting enough food is a daily problem. To deal with these problems, the Eritrean government together with the World Food Program,has a new program that offers food as a reward for leaming. In primary schools, all the children receive food packages to take home to their families. However, with the new program, the girls receive

more food than the boys. This way, parents are encouraged to send their daughter to school rather than keeping them at home. Another govemment program that aims to educate women is Food for Training. Managed by the National Union of Eritrean Women, this program offer food rewards (also from World Food Organiza tion) to women and elder girls who are willing to join the program. Because of the war with Ethiopia, many women are bringing up their families on their own. They often live in refugee camps, with no land of their own and no way to earn money. Most of these women are illiterate and have no skills to find a job. They spend most of their day looking for food and preparing it for their families. The Food for Training program helps the tennagers and women change their lives. If they agree to join the program, they receive a large package of food each month. In return, the women are required to attend free literate classes for two hours every day. When Food for Training classes in two regions of Eritrea, 5000 girls and women joined in the first two months. It is especially popular with teenage girls, aged fourteen to sixteen, who have never had a chance to go to school before. The organizers of Food for Traing also plans to offer other kinds of courses for women, using the same system of food rewards. In these courses, they will teach women job skills and crafts such as basket weaving. These women will not only learn to read and write. They will become aware of what is going on in their country. 41.According to the passage, traditional ideas about women __________.[3分] Aare rejected by younger generation Bhelp improve the economy Chinder economic development ' Dhave little impact on economic development

42.The Eritrean govemment is offering extra food to girls in school in order to __________.[3分] Aencourage to keep girls at home

Bchange traditional attitudes towards women Chelp girls feed their families Dcreat more jobs for Eritrean teachers

43.With the Food for Learning program, women get a large package of food as long as__________.[3分] Athey attend free literacy classes every day Bthey have no land of their own Cthey bring up their families on their own Dthey live in refugee camps

44.The new literacy programs are an example of __________.[3分]

Athe work of 5,000 women and teenage girls

Bthe problems with the aid of international organizations Clocal and international organizations working together Dthe Eritrean govemment working to keep its power

45.According to the passage, Food for Training will__________.[3分] Ahelp women better their lives

Bencourage women to leave their country Cteach women about intemational aid Dallow women to spend more time at home

I Know Just How You Feel Do you feel sad? Happy? Angry? You may think that the way you show these emotions is unique. Well, think again. Even the expression of the most personal feelings can be classified, according to Mind Readingame, a DVD displaying every possible human emotion. It demonstrates 412 distinct ways in which we feel the first visual distionary of the human heart. Attempts to classify expressions began in the mid-1800s, when Darwin divided the emtions into six types-anger, fear, sadness, disgust, surprise and enjoyment. _________(46) Every other feeling was thought to derive from Darwin's small group. More complex expressions of emotions were probably learned and therefore more specific to each culture. But now it is believed that many more facial expressions are shared worldwide. _________(47) The Mind Reading DVD is a systematic visual record of these expressions. The project was conceived by a Cambridge professor as an aid for people with autism (孤独症), who have difficulty both reading and expressing emotions. But it quickly became apparent that it had broader uses. Actors and teachers, for example, need to understand a wide range of expressions. The professor and his research team first had to define an \"emotion\" _________(48) Using this definition, 1,512 emotion terms were identified and discussed. This list was eventually reduced to 412, from\"afraid\" to \"wanting\". Once these emotions were defined and classified, a DVD seemed the clearest and most efficient way to display them. In Mind Reading, each expression is acted out by six different actors in three seconds. _________(49) The explanation for this is simple: we may find it difficult to describe emotions using words, but we instantly recognise one when we see it on someone's face. \" It was really clear when the actors had got it right,\" says Cathy Collis, who directed the DVD.\" Although they were given some direstion,\"

says Ms Collis, \" the actors were not told which facial muscles they should move. \" _________(50) For example, when someone feel contempt, you can't say for certain that their eyebrows always go down. Someone who has tried to establish such rules is the American, Professor Paul Ekman, who has built a database of how the face moves for every emotion. The face can make 43 distinct muscle movements called \" action units\". These can be combined into more than 10, 000 visible facial shapes. Ekmen has written out a pattern of facial muscular movements to represent each emotion. A.He said that this expression of feeling is universal and recognizable by anyone from any culture . B.Any other method of showing the 412 emotions whould have been far less effective. C.Research has also been done to find out which area of brain read the emotional expressions. D.These particular muscles are difficult to control, and few people can do it. E.They decided that it was a mental state that could be preceded by \"I feel\" \"he looks\" or\"she sounds\". F.We thought of trying to describe each emotion, but it whould have been almost impossible to make clear rules of this. 46. [2分]

as if it were a legitimate (合法的) solution, _________(54) any other. What is really frightening, what really _________(55) you with despair, is the realization that when it comes to the crunch(关键时刻), we have made no actual _________(56) at all. We may wear collars and ties instead of war-paint, but our insticts remain basically unchanged. The whole of the recorded _________(57) of the human race, that tedious documentation of violence, has taught us absolutely nothing. We have still not learnt that_________(58) never solves a problem but makes it more acute. The sheer horror, the bloodshed and the suffering _________(59) nothing. No solution ever comes to _________(60) the moming after when we dismally(阴郁地) contemplate the smoking ruins and wonder what hit us. The truly reasonable men who _________(61) where the solutions lie are finding it harder and harder to get a hearing. They are despised, mistrusted and even persecuted _________(62) their own kind because they advocate such apparently outrageous things as low enforcement. If half the energy that goes into _________(63) acts were put to good use, if our efforts were directed at_________(64) up the slums and ghettos (贫民窟), at improving living-standards and providing education and employment for all, we would not have gone a long way to _________(65) at a solution. 51.

Keep on Fighting

Turning once again to the question of invasion， I would observe that there has never been a period in all these long centuries of which we boast when an absolute guarantee against invasion， still less against serious raids， could have been given to our people. In the days of Napoleon the same wind which would have carried his transports across the Channel might have driven away the blockading （封锁） fleet. There was always the chance， and it is that chance which has excited and befooled （愚弄） the imaginations of many continental tyrants. Many are the tales that are told. We are assured that novel methods will be adopted， and when we see the originality of malice （怨恨）， the ingenuity of aggression， which our enemy displays， we may certainly prepare ourselves for every kind of novel stratagem （战略） and every kind of brutal and treacherous （奸诈）maneuver （花招）。 I think that no idea is so outlandish （古怪的） that it should not be considered and viewed with a searching， but at the same time， I hope， with a steady eye. We must never forget the solid assurances of sea power and those which belong to air power if it can be locally exercised. I have， myself， full confidence that if all do their duty， if nothing is neglected， and if the best arrangements are made， as they are being made， we shall prove ourselves once again able to defend our island home， to ride out the storm of war，

and to outlive the menace （威胁） of tyranny， if necessary for years， if necessary alone. At any rate， that is what we are going to try to do. This is the resolve of His Majesty's government - every man of them. This is the will of parliament and the nation. The British Empire and the French republic， linked together in their cause and in their need， will defend to the death their native soil， aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength. Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous states have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious （可憎的） apparatus of Nazi rule， we shall not flag （变弱） or fail. We shall go on to the end， we shall fight in France， we shall fight on the seas and oceans， we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air， we shall defend our island， whatever the cost might be， we shall fight on the beaches， we shall fight on the landing grounds， we shall fight in the fields and in the streets， we shall fight in the hills， we shall never surrender， and even if， which I do not for a moment believe， this island or a large part of it were subjugated （征服） and starving， then our empire beyond the seas， armed and guarded by the British fleet， would carry on the struggle， until， in God's good time， the new world， with its power and might， steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old. 16.Throughout Britain's history， there has been no guarantee that an invasion would not happen.[1分] ARight BWrong CNot mentioned

McGrady's Spectacular Art

1 When Tracy McGrady is healthy， his play can be so beautiful that even his own teammates on the court cannot help but admire it - in the middle of a game

2 “It's hard for me， because I'm a fan of basketball，” Houston point guard （负责组织进攻的后卫） Rafer Alston told The Houston Chronicle （记事） newspaper after McGrady's

3 Unfortunately， McGrady， 27， hasn't always been on the job. Already this season， he's missed seven games with back spasms （痉挛） After Yao Ming was injured on Dec. 23， it appeared Houston would be without both of its stars. McGrady， however， returned three days later and has been playing well ever since， scoring more than 30 points in each of the last six games， as of Tuesday. Houston can't seem to get on without him. When McGrady was injured， the Rockets won two and lost five

4 “Listen， there are only four or five people on the entire planet that can do the things he can do with the basketball，” forward Shane Battier said of McGrady. “From a fan's perspective - and we're fans even though we're players - it's really fun to watch him do that. From a player's perspective， his game （风格） can affect the entire team. No question We see him， and we get excited， and that pumps us up. He keeps making shots， and suddenly it seems to become easier for everybody.”

5 But it won't， really. Houston has just begun a tough time. Four of the next seven games will be played away from Houston. Six of the games will be against teams with winning records. Opponents will double-team （双人看守） McGrady in an attempt to dull the impact of his art. Instead of watching， McGrady's teammates will need to create a little art of their own.

Youth Emancipation in Spain

The Spanish Government is so worried about the number of young adults still living with their parents that it has decided to help them leave the nest. Around 55 percent of people aged 18-34 in Spain still sleep in their parents' homes， says the latest report from the country's state-run Institute of Youth. To coax （劝诱） young people from their homes， the Institute started a “Youth Emancipation （解放）” program this month. The program offers guidance in finding rooms and jobs. Economists blame young people's family dependence on the precarious （不稳定的） labor market and increasing housing prices. Housing prices have risen 17 percent a year since 2000.

Cultural reasons also contribute to the problem， say sociologists （社会学家）。 Family ties in south Europe - Italy， Portugal and Greece - are stronger than those in middle and north Europe， said Spanish sociologist Almudena Moreno Minguez in her report “The Late Emancipation of Spanish Youth： Key for Understanding”。 “In general， young people in Spain firmly believe in the family as the main body around which their private life is organized” said Minguez. In Spain - especially in the countryside， it is not uncommon to find entire groups of aunts， uncles， cousins， nieces and nephews （外甥/侄子） all living on the same street. They regularly get together for Sunday dinner. Parents' tolerance is another factor. Spanish parents accept late-night partying and are wary of setting bedtime rules. “A child can arrive home at whatever time he wants. If parents complain he'll put up a fight and call the father a fascist，” said Jose Antonio Gomez Yanez， a sociologist at Carlos I11 University in Madrid. Mothers' willingness to do children's household chores （家务） worsens the problem. Dionisio Masso， a 60-year-old in Madrid， has three children in their 20s. The eldest， 28， has a girlfriend and a job. But life with mum is good. “His mum does the wash and cooks for him； in the end， he lives well，” Masso said.

Road Trip Vacations

It's summer. In the United States， it's the season of swimming pools， barbeques （户外烤肉）， camping and road trips. Road trip vacations where the car journey is part of the fun are especially popular with college

students， who like to explore the country on wheels. These budget trips are ideal for students who often have plenty of free time but little money. “Ever since I went to college， I've been traveling around a lot， exploring the country，” said Austin Hawkins， a 19-year-old college student from New York. This summer， Hawkins and his friends have spent weekends traveling in New England. The best part about car trips， said Hawkins， is that you can be spontaneous. “On a road trip， if you get interested in things you see along the way you can stop and explore.” Matt Roberts， a 20-year-old student from Ohio who drove to Montreal， Canada， agrees. “With road trips you don't have to plan in advance， you can just get into a car and drive.” Even with high gas prices， driving with friends is cheaper than flying. Roberts paid about 40 dollars for gas， but a round trip plane ticket would have cost nearly 400 dollars. Driving trips first became popular in the 1920s. Newly paved roads and improved cars made it possible to travel longer distances. Motels （汽车旅馆）started appearing outside cities. By the 1950s， car ownership became the norm. Construction of the US interstate （洲际的） highway system began in 1956 and motel and restaurant chains popped up （突然出现） everywhere making long distance trips easier. Today， the US has the highest car ownership rate in the world. Only 8 percent of American homes have no car， according to the most recent US census. Though many college students don't own a car， most have access to one. On many of Hawkins' trips， they used a borrowed van. Hawkins' most memorable road trip took place over spring break. He and two friends drove from New York to New Orleans to volunteer， helping rebuild the city after Hurricane （风暴） Katrina hit it last July. They crossed the country in two days and slept in their car in church parking lots. Roberts' road trip to Canada last winter was even more eventful. Upon arriving in Montreal， they were lost in a blizzard and shivering in the -25° cold. To find their hotel， they turned on a laptop （笔记本电脑） and drove around in circles until they found a spot with wireless Internet coverage. “I know we should have planned better， but we're young. Now， when I see those guys I always say： 'Remember when we were lost in the snow storm！' I'll never forget that.” 36.Who are road trip vacations especially popular with？[3分]

ACollege students who like to travel on wheels. BTeachers who have plenty of free time but little money CVolunteers who want to help rebuild New Orleans. DAmericans who have no cars. 37.What will Hawkins do when he sees something interesting on a road trip？[3分]

AHe will turn back. BHe will drive around. CHe will stop to explore. DHe will stop exploring. 38.When did motels suddenly appear everywhere？[3分]

AAfter the work to build the interstate highway system started. BWhen driving trips became popular. CAfter many roads were paved. DAfter new cars were made.

39.Which of the following words can best describe Hawkins' trip to New Orlends？[3分] AEventful. BColorful. CDelightful. DUnforgettable，

40.The word “blizzard” in paragraph 12 could be best replaced by[3分] Asnow storm. Bhurricane. Cmist. Dfog.

Tightened Visa Regulations

According to South Korea's new visa regulations， native speakers of English in South Korea will be required to undergo criminal record checks， medical and drug tests， provide sealed academic transcripts （成绩单）and have their university diplomas inspected， The Korea Times has reported The tightened regulations will affect an estimated 17，000 foreigners that hold E-2 visas-specifically for foreign language teachers. The most controversial requirement is that English teachers residing （居住） outside South Korea will have to have an interview at a South Korean Embassy before taking up their teaching posts. For applicants living in remote areas in Canada， Australia or the US， this is an additional travel burden. Meanwhile， foreign teachers currently living in South Korea must leave the country after their one-year contracts and renew their visas by visiting a neighboring country and return without additional documentation （文件证据）。 The visa changes are a reaction to public concern about the suitability of some foreign teachers. A report from the South Korean Ministry of-Education and Human Resources Development shows between 2001 and August of this year， 1，481 foreign language teachers have been caught for a range of offenses including forged （伪造的） degrees， visa violations and general lawbreaking. But the changes are likely to slow up the supply of teachers to South .Korea's English language education sector. According to Michael Duffy， manager of a teacher placement service in South Korea， applicants have to spend a few hundred dollars and several months on getting affidavits （书面陈述书） for documents. “South Korea-has put up too many hoops （圈） tojump through，” he said， adding that foreigners would seek work elsewhere. Most foreigners wonder if the experience of working in South Korea will be worth the burden of the paper work and increasing restrictions. “I don't think （South） Korea has thought this through，” said Scott Mclnnis， a Canadian teacher based in Incheon near Seoul. “This is a reactionary move by the government that will have strong implications for the EFL community.” As part of the efforts to ease the discontent （不满）， the South Korean Ministry of Justice has granted a three-month grace period for current E-2 visa holders to prepare the necessary documents.

41.Which of the following is NOT required of an E-2 visa applicant？[3分]

ATo pass a Korean language test BTo undergo a medical test. CTo provide sealed school reports. DTo undergo a drug test.

42.It can be inferred from paragraph 2 that before the visa regulations were revised foreign teachers didn't have to[3分]

Asign new contracts if they wanted to continue to work Bgo through any formalities if they wanted to stay a bit longer Cvisit a neighboring country if they wanted to renew their visas Dinterview a South Korean official if they wanted to apply for work permits

43.The list of crimes many foreign language teachers committed between 2001 ant August of this year did NOT include[3分]

Avisa violations. Bforged degrees Csubversive activities Dgeneral lawbreaking. 44.The new visa policy aims at[3分]

Aprotecting South Korea from terrorist attacks. Bimproving foreign language teaching in South Korea. Cproviding more job opportunities for the South Korean people Dencouraging the South Korean people to learn the Chinese language

45.EFL in paragraph 4 is an abbreviation of[3分]

My Life at Renda

I learned very quickly that being a teaching assistant （TA） at the University of Iowa would be different from being a teacher at Renmin University. （46） Eyes staring， mouths open， students examined my big nose， while I was writing my name on the blackboard. At Iowa， when my first classes began， half of my students still hadn't arrived. When everyone finally found a seat， ringing cellphones and loud yawns （哈欠） interrupted my opening remarks. It is not that American students were disrespectful. （47） They were， however， far more skeptical than the students I had at Renda. The truth is I couldn't fault them for their

skepticism. Undergraduates at large US universities - especially freshmen and sophomores - often have several classes a semester handled by TAs. In some cases， the TA sets the course content. （48） Most have good intentions， but very few are as effective as professors. Every teacher has to confront obstacles to learning - no matter what the culture. Students who talk during lectures， students who cheat， students who question the grade they get for a paper or project - dealing with these is all part of the job. （49） The difference， I think， is that in the US I had to swallow more of my pride. （50） I had a responsibility to teach them， of course， but I had to do so indirectly - as a guide who himself had a few things to learn from the students.

A. In my students' minds， I had little to offer them， except perhaps some sample questions for the mid-term exam.

B.In others， the TA works as a grader and discussion leader. C.I encountered these in China， and I faced them in the US.

Improve Computer-research Skills

Like many college students， Jose Juarez carries around a pocket-sized computer that lets him watch movies，

surf the Internet and text-message his friends. He's part of “Generation M” - those born after 1985 who （51） up connected to everything from video games to cellphones. “For us， it's everyday life，” said Juarez， 18， a freshman （52） California State University at Sacramento （CSUS）（53）， educators are now saying that not all Generation M-ers can synthesize the piles of information they're accessing “They're geeky （与网络交往的）， but they don't know what to （54） with their geekdom，” said Barbara O'Connor， a communications studies professor who has been involved in a nationwide （55） to improve students' computer-research skills. In a recent nationwide test to （56） their technological “literacy” – their ability to use the Internet to complete class assignments - only 49 percent correctly evaluated a set of Web sites for objectivity， authority and timeliness. Only 35 per cent could correctly narrow an overly （57） Internet search. About 130 Sacramento State students， including Juarez， participated in the experimental test，（58） to 6，300 college students across the country. The hour-long assessment test is conducted by Educational Testing Service. It is a web-based scavenger （食肉动物） hunt （59） simulated Internet search engines and academic databases that spit out purposely misleading information. “They're very good at （60） in and using the Internet， but don't always understand what they get back，” said Linda Goff， head of instructional services for the CSUS library. “You see an open search box， you type in a few words and you （61） the button，” said Goff， who is involved in the testing. “They take at face value （62） shows up at the top of the list as the best stuff.” Educators say that these sloppy （马虎） research skills are troubling. “We look at that as a foundational skill， in the same way we （63） math and English as a foundational skill，” said Lorie Roth， assistant vice-chancellor for academic programs in the CSU system. Measuring how well students can “sort the good （64） the bad” on the Internet has become a higher priority for CSU， Roth said. CSU is considering （65） a mandatory （强制性的） assessment test on technological literacy for all freshmen， much as it has required English and math placement tests since the 1980s. 51. [1分]

Forbidden Apple

New York used to be the city that never sleeps. Theses days, it’s the city that never smokes, drinks or does anything naughty (at least, not in public). The Big Apple is quickly turning into the Forbidden Apple. If you wanted a glass of wine with your picnic in Central Park, could you have one? No chance. Drinking alcohol in public isn’t allowed. If you decided to feed the birds with the last crumbs (碎屑) of your sandwich., you could be arrested. It’s illegal if you went to a bar for a drink and a cigarette, that would be OK, wouldn’t it? Er…no. You can’t smoke in public in New York City. What’s going on? Why is the city that used to be so open-minded becoming like this? The mayor of New York is behind it all. He ahs brought in a whole lot of new laws to stop citizens from doing what they want, when they want. The press are shocked. Even the New York police have joined the argument. They recently spent $100,000 on a “Don’t blame the cop” campaign. One New York police officer said, “We raise money for the city by giving people fines for breaking some very stupid laws. It’s all about money.” The result is a lot of fines for minor offences. Yoav Kashida, an Israel tourist, fell asleep on the subway. When he woke up, two police officers fined him because he had fallen asleep on two seats (you mustn’t use two seats in the subway). Elle and Serge Schroitman were fined for blocking a driveway with their car. It was their own driveway. The angry editor of vanity Fair magazine, Graydon Carter, says, “Under New York City law it is acceptable to keep a gun in your place of work, but not an empty ashtray.” He should know. The police came to his office and took away his ashtray (烟灰缸)。 But not all of the New York’s inhabitants are complaining. Marcia Dugatty, 72, said, “The city has changed for the better. If more cities had these laws, America would be a better place to live,” Nixon Patricks, 38, a barman, said, “I like the new laws, if people smoked in here, we’d go home

smelling of cigarettes.” Recent figures show that New York now has fewer crimes per 100,000 people than 193 other US cities. And it’s true-it’s safe, cleaner and more healthy than before. But let’s be honest-who goes to New York for its clean streets?

Are You a Successful Leader?

1) Almost nothing we do in this word is done in isolation. At work or at play, you’ll find yourself in groups, working with other people: your team at work, a meeting with colleagues, your family, a holiday with friends, a group of students working together, a day out walking in the mountains, a group of neighbors wanting to make changes. It is now recognized that being able to work successfully with other people is one of the major keys to success. Partly because we need to do it so often.

2) In almost every situation where you’re in a group, you will need a skilled leader. All groups need leaders and all successful groups have good leaders. Groups without leaders or with weak leaders almost always break down. Members of a leaderless group often begin to feel dissatisfied and frustrated.

Time is wasted and the tasks are not achieved. There are often arguments and tensions between people as there is nobody to keep the goals clear. Some personalities dominate and other disappears. Often group members begin not to come to meetings in order to avoid more disharmony. 3) Some people are natural leaders. The celebrity chef, Antonio Carlucci says, “True leaders a re born and you can spot them in kitchens.” They’re people who combine toughness, fairness and humour. Although a lot of people agree that there are some natural –born leaders, most people now recognize that leadership can also be taught. Our professional and experienced staff can train almost anyone how to be a successful leader. Good leaders don’t make people do things in a bossy, controlling way. You can learn how to involve everyone, encouraging the whole group to work towards a common goal. 4) Our training courses use activities and techniques to develop a range of qualities which are necessary to be a good leader. Self-confidence is vital and being able to overcome your own fears about being a leader. Successful leaders also need to be calm and intelligent. They need to be able to work out good strategies and make sound judgments under pressure. Lastly, and probably most importantly, good leaders need to be sensitive, sociable and be able to get on with a wide range of people. Good leadership is essentially the ability to influence others and good leaders allow all members of the group to contribute. 23.Paragraph 1__________.[1分] AA good leader needs a variety of qualities. BThese techniques are used to train leaders. CTraining can make good leaders. DMost of good leader are natural-born. EIt’s important to have a good leader. FPeople are in groups.

第一篇 The Smell of Money

For many years large supermarkets have been encouraging us to spend money by pumping the smell of freshly-baked bread into their stories. Now Dale Air, a leading firm of aroma (香气) consultants, has been approached by Barclay’s Bank to develop suitable artificial smells for their banks. Researchers have suggested that surrounding customers with the “smell if money” will encourage them to feel relaxed and optimistic and give them added confidence in the bank’s security and professionalism. But before a smell can be manufactured and introduced into banks’ air conditioning systems. It must be identified and chemically analyzed, and this has proved to be difficult. The problem is that banknotes-and coins tend to pick up the smell of their surroundings. So cash that has been sitting in a cash register at a fishmonger’s (鱼贩) will smell of fish, and banknotes used to pay for meals in restaurants will tend to smell of food. It may be a challenge, but aroma experts have little doubt that the use of artificial smells can be an effective form of subconscious advertising. Lunn Poly, a British travel company, introduced the smell of coconuts (椰子) into its travel agencies and saw a big increase in spending by holiday makers. Many cafes now have electric dispensers (自动售货机) that release the smell of freshly roasted coffee near their entrances, subtly encouraging customers to come in and have a drink or snack. Even prestigious car maker Rolls-Royce has been spraying the inside of its cars to enhance the smell of the leather seats. “The sense of smell is probably

the most basic and primitive of all human senses,” explains researcher Jim O’Rordan. “ There is a direct pathway from the olfactory (嗅觉的) organs in the nose to the brain.” It is certainly true that most people find certain smells incredibly strong, stringing memories and feelings in a way that few other stimulants (刺激物) can rival. It is a phenomenon marketing consultants have long recognized, but until recently have been unable to harness. “We’ve made great progress but the technology of odour production is still in its infancy,” says O’Riordan, “Who knows where it will take us.” 31.Artificial smells have NOT been used in[3分] Acafes Bbanks Ctravel agencies Dsupermarkets

32.Researchers believe that introducing the “smell of money” into banks will encourage people[3分] Ato spend money

Bto feel confident about banks Cto earn more money

Dto withdraw money from banks

33.The difficulty of producing the “smell of money” lies in that[3分] Apeople’s attitudes toward money are different Bit’s hard to identify and analyze it Cno technology can do it Dexperts have no motive

34.The word “harness” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to[3分] Asee Bstudy Ccontrol Dunderstand

35.Researchers think[3分]

Aartificial smells help to improve people’s memory

Bthe technology to produce artificial smells is in the early stage Cartificial smells are harmful

Dthe production of artificial smells is profitably

第二篇 Spoilt for Choice(A级)

Choice, we are given to1 believe, is a right. In daily life, people have come to expect endless situations about which they are required to make decisions one way or another. In the main2, these are just irksome moments at work which demand some extra energy or brainpower, or during lunch breaks like choosing which type of coffee to order or indeed which coffee shop to go to. But sometimes selecting one option as opposed to another can have serious or lifelong repercussions. More complex decision-making is then either avoided, postponed, or put into the hands of the army of professionals, Iifestyle coaches, lawyers, advisors, and the like. waiting to lighten the emotional burden for a fee2. But for a good many4 people in the world, in rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion, created by companies and advertisers wanting to sell their wares5. The main impact of endless choice in people's lives is anxiety. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly simple. Easy access to a wide range of consumer goods induces a sense of powerlessness, even paralysis, in many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away6, or just buying an unsuitable item that is not really wanted in order to solve the problem and reduce the unease. Recent surveys in the United Kingdom have shown that a sizeable proportion of electrical goods bought per household are not really needed. The advertisers and the shareholders of the manufacturers are, nonetheless, satisfied. It is not just their availability that is the problem, but the speed with which new versions of products come on the market. Advances in design and production mean that new items are almost ready by the time that goods hit the shelves7. Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The classic example is computers which are almost obsolete once they are bought. At first, there were only one or two available from a limited number of manufacturers, but now there are many companies all with not only their own products but different versions of the same machine. This makes selection a problem. Gone are the days when one could just walk with ease. into a shop and buy one thing8; no choice, no anxiety. The plethora of choice is not limited to consumer items. With the greater mobility of people around the world, people have more choice about where they want to live and work — a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, nations migrated across huge swathes of the earth in search of food, adventure, and more hospitable environments. Whole nations crossed continents and changed the face of history, So the mobility of people is nothing new.

第三篇 Cell Phones: Hang Up or Keep Talking?

Millions of people are using cell phones today. In many places it is actually considered unusual not to use one. In many countries, cell phones are very popular with young people. They find that the phones are more than a means of communication—having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected. The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professional worried. Some doctors

are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serous debate about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health. On the other hand, why do some medical studies show changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones? Signs of change in the issues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning (扫描) equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss. He couldn’t remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer’s doctor didn’t agree. What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about. As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it’s best to use mobile phones less often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now, it’s wise not to use your mobile phone too often 41.People buy cell phones for the following reasons EXCEPT that[3分] Athey’re popular Bthey’re cheap Cthey’re useful Dthey’re convenient

2.The world “detected” in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by[3分] Acured Bremoved Cdiscovered Dcaused

Dhis employer’s doctor persuaded him to

44.On the safety issue of mobile phones, the manufacturing companies[3分] Adeny the existence of mobile phone radiation

Bdevelop new technology to reduce mobile phone radiation Ctry to prove that mobile phones are not harmful to health Dhold that the amount of radiation is too small to worry about

45.The writer’s purpose of writing this article is to advise people[3分] Ato buy mobile phones Bto update regular phones Cto use mobile phones less often Dto stop using mobile phones

Mt. Desert Island

The coast of the State of Maine is one of the most irregular in the world. A straight line running from the southernmost coastal city to the northernmost coastal city would measure about 225 miles. If you followed the coastline between these points, you would travel more than ten times as far. This irregularity is the result of what is called a drowned coastline____(46). At that time, the whole area that is now Maine was part of a mountain range that towered above the sea. As the glacier (冰川) descended, however, it expended enormous force on those mountains, and they sank into the sea. As the mountains sank, ocean water charged over the lowest parts of the remaining land, forming a series of twisting inlets and lagoons (咸水湖). The highest parts of the former mountain range, nearest the shore, remained as islands. ____(47) Marine fossils found here were 225 feet above sea level, indicating the level of the shoreline prior to the glacier. The 2,500-mile-long rocky coastline of Marine keeps watch over nearly two thousand islands. Many of these islands are tiny and uninhabited, but many are home to thriving communities. Mt. Desert Island is one of the largest, most beautiful of the Maine coast islands. Measuring 16 miles by 12 miles. Mt. Desert was essentially formed as two distinct islands, _____(48) For years, Mt. Desert island, particularly its major settlement, Bar Harbor, afforded summer home for the wealthy. Recently though, Bar Harbor has become a rapidly growing arts community as well. But, the best part of the island is the unspoiled forest land known as Acadia

National Park. Because the island sits on the boundary line between the temperate (温带) and sub-Arctic zones, the islands supports the plants and animals of both zones as well as beach, inland, and alpine (高山的) plants.____(49). The establishment of Acadia National Park in 1916 means that this natural reserve will be perpetually available to all people, not just the wealthy. Visitors to Acadia may receive nature instruction from the park naturalists as well as enjoy camping, cycling, and boating. Or they may choose to spend time at the archeological museum, learning about the Stone Age inhabitants of the island. The best view on Mt. Desert Island is from the top of Cadillac Mountain. ____(50) From the summit, you can gaze back toward the mainland or out over the Atlantic Ocean and contemplate the beauty created by a retreating glacier. 46.
