Passage 1
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.
You can use your Business Telecard International at any card phone in the UK. Here is some information about making international phone calls. You can now phone almost any country in the world, although in some cases you can only call major cities. When you cannot make direct dialing calls, you can ask the international operator to help you. This is more expensive and takes more time, but it may be helpful if you want to speak to a particular person and no one else in this case you should ask for a "person-to-person" call. Even more expensive is a reverse charge (对方付款) call where the person who receives the call pays.
If the international line is busy, you can reserve (预约) a call, explain the number you want and the operator will call you back when the line is free. You can save money by calling outside office hours, e.g. early in the morning, late at night, and on Sundays. Remember that the time may be different in the country you are calling. International time is based on GMT (Greenwich Mean Time), London is on GMT and Beijing, for example, 8 hours head.
There is one problem: change to DST (Daylight Saving Time) for the summer. In the UK, clocks are put forward one hour in spring and put back in autumn, and so London is actually one hour ahead of GMT in the summer. You can use your Business Telecard International for domestic (国内的) calls as well, but there will be an additional charge over the standard rate.

Passage 2
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.
In one way of thinking, failure is part of life. In another way, failure may be a way towards success. The "spider-story" is often told. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider spinning a web. The spider tried to reach across a rough place in the rock. He tried six times to span the gap. On the seventh time he made it and went on to spin his web. Bruce is said to have taken heart and to have gone on to defeat the English. Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one.
So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were conditions right? Were you in top form yourself? What can you change so things will go right next time?
Second, is the goal you're trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be. Think about this question, "If I do succeed in this, where will it get me?" This may help you prevent failure in things you shouldn't be doing anyway.

Passage 4
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.
In the middle of winter, when snow is falling in many parts of the United States, scientists have sounded a warning to people who plan to spend many hours in the sun this summer. The warning: The sun's summertime rays (射线) are more dangerous than once thought.
A team of scientists from 80 nations' recently reported to the United Nations that a layer of ozone in the atmosphere, which protects humans from harmful levels of ultraviolet (紫外的) radiation, will be thinner over the United States this summer. The thinner layer allows more ultraviolet rays from the sun to reach earth. The extra amount of ultraviolet radiation could cause an increase in the number of cases of skin cancer.
Scientists first became concerned about the ozone layer in the mid-1980s when a hole was discovered in the layer above Antarctica during the winter. The hole was caused by chemicals used in refrigerators and air conditioners. When these chemicals are sent out into the atmosphere, they produce gases that destroy the ozone.
Concern about the protective ozone layer rose more recently when data from satellites and ground stations showed that ozone levels were dropping over areas other than Antarctica. Low ozone levels were recorded in the spring and summer over the United States and over other populated areas in the world.
Although many countries have already begun stopping the use of ozone-destroying chemicals, the new findings are expected to advance the timetable for a total ban of the chemicals.
16、Why do the scientists in the US sound a warning to people?
A . Because the weather are extremely hot in the winter.
B . Because it snows heavily in the US.
C . Because people spent many hours in the sun last summer.
D . Because sun's summertime rays are dangerous.
A B C D
17、Which of the following statement is NOT true?
A . The scientists have observed the ozone layer for more than 10 years.
B . Many people suffered from cancer this summer.
C . There is a hole in the layer above Antarctica.
D . Ozone layer protects humans from harmful levels of ultraviolet radiation.
A B C D
18、The ozone layer in the atmosphere can
A . protect humans from diseases caused by bad weather
B . protect humans from harmful levels of ultraviolet radiation
C . do a lot of good to human beings caused by bad weather.

Passage 1
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.
Lisa was running late. Lisa, 25, had a lot to do at work, plus visitors on the way: her parents were coming in for Thanksgiving. But as she hurried down the subway stairs, she started to feel uncomfortable. By the time she got to the platform, Lisa felt weak and tired-maybe it hadn't been a good idea to give blood last night. She rested herself against a post close to the tracks.
Several yards away, Frank, 43, and his girlfriend, Jennifer, stood a spot close to the front of the train. They were deep in discussion about their house.
But when he heard the scream, followed by someone yelling, “Oh, my God, she fell in!” Frank didn't hesitate and jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet toward the body lying on the rails. “No! Not you!” his girlfriend screamed. She was right to be alarmed. Frank could feel the tracks shaking. The train was about 20 seconds from the station.
It was hard to lift her. But he managed to raise her the four feet to the platform so that bystanders could hold her by the arms and drag her away from the edge. That was where Lisa briefly regained consciousness, felt herself being pulled along the ground, and saw someone else holding her purse.
Lisa thought she'd been robbed. She tried to talk but she couldn't, and that was when she realized how much pain she was in.
Police and fire officials soon arrived, and Frank told the story to an officer.

Passage 2
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.
We once had a poster competition in our fifth grade art class.
"You could win prizes," our teacher told us as she wrote the poster information on the blackboard. She passed out sheets of construction paper and continued, "The first prize is ten dollars. You just have to make sure that the words on the blackboard appear somewhere on your poster."
We studied the board critically. Some of us looked with one eye while we conjured up our designs. Others twisted their hair around their fingers or chewed their erasers while deep in thought. We had plans for that ten-dollar grand prize, each and every one of us.
Everyone in the class made a poster. Some of us used parts of those fancy paper napkins. Some of us would wander past the good students’ desks and then return to our own projects with a growing sense of hopelessness. It was yet another grown-up trick of the sort they seemed especially fond of, making all of us believe we had a fair chance, and then always-always-rewarding the same old winners.
I believe I drew a sailboat, but I can't say that with any certainty. I made it. I admired it. I determined it to be the very best of all of the posters I had seen, and then I turned it in.
Minutes passed.
No one came along to give me the grand prize, and then someone distracted me. I was still sitting at my desk, thinking, What poster? When the teacher gave me an envelope with a ten dollar bill in it and everyone in the class applauded for me.
26、What was the teacher's requirement for the poster?

Passage 3
Questions 11 to1 5 are based on the following passage.?
A few years ago I had an "aha!" moment regarding handwriting.
I had in my hand a sheet of paper or some sort of editorial task. It occurred at first that I did not recognize the handwriting, and then I realized whose it must be- one of my colleagues whom I worked with at least one year. Yet I did not recognize her handwriting at that point.
It was a very important event in the computerization of life-a sign that the informal, friendly communication of people working together had changed from notes in pen to instant messages and emails. There was a time when our workdays were filled with little letters, and we recognized our colleagues’ handwriting.
As a child visiting my father's office, I was pleased to recognize, in little notes on the desks of his staff, the same handwriting I would see at home in the notes.
All this has been on my mind because of the talk about The Rise and Fall of Handwriting, a book by Florey. She shows in her book a deep concern about the fall of handwriting and the failure of schools to teach children to write well.
I don't want to see anyone cut off from the expressive, personal associations that a pen still promotes better than a digital keyboard does. For many a biographer, part of really getting to know their subjects is learning to read their handwriting.
What some people advocate is teaching one of the many attractive handwritings based on the handwriting of 16th-century Italy. That may sound impossibly grand-as if they want kids to learn to draw by copying classical paintings. However, they have worked in many school systems.
31、Why was the author surprised at not recognizing his colleague’s handwriting?
A . He had worked with his colleague long enough.
B . His colleague's handwriting was so beautiful.
C . His colleague's handwriting was so terrible.
D . He still had a lot of work to do.
A B C D
32、People working together in an office used to ____________.
A . talk more about handwriting
B . take more notes on workdays
C . know better one another's handwriting
D . communicate better with one another
A B C D
33、The author's father wrote notes in pen ____________.
A . to both his family and his staff
B . to his family in small letters
C . to his family on the fridge
D . to his staff on the desk
A B C D
34、According to the author, handwritten notes ____________.
A . are harder to teach in schools
B . attract more attention
C . are used only between friends
D . carry more message
A B C D
35、We can learn from the passage that the author ____________.
A . thinks it impossible to teach handwriting
B . does not want to lose handwriting
C . puts the blame on the computer
D . does not agree with Florey
A B C D
Passage 4
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.
Parents and kids today dress alike and listen to the same music. Is this a good thing? Sometimes, when Mr. Ballmer and his 16-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, listen to rock music and talk about interests both enjoy, such as pop culture, he remembers his more distant relationship with his parents when he was a teenager.
Music was not the only gulf. From clothing and hairstyles to activities, earlier generations of parents and children often appeared to move in separate orbits.
Today, the generation gap has not disappeared, but it is getting narrow in many families. Conversations on subjects such as sex and drugs would not have taken place a generation ago. Now they are comfortable and common. This involves a feeling of trust and friendship that can continue into adulthood.
No wonder greeting cards today carry the message, "To my mother, my best friend."
But family experts warn that the new equality can also result in less respect for parents.
"There's still a lot of strictness and authority on the part of parents out there, but there is a change happening." says Kerrie, a psychology professor at Lebanon Valley College. "In the middle of that change, there is a lot of confusion among parents."
Family researchers offer a variety of reasons for these evolving roles and attitudes. They see the 1960s as a turning point. Great cultural changes led to more open communication and a more democratic process that encourages everyone to have a say.
"My parents were on the `before' side of that change, but today's parents, the 40-year-olds, were on the `after' side," explains Mr. Ballmer. "It's not something easily accomplished by parents these days, because life is more difficult to understand or deal with, but sharing interests does make it more fun to be a parent now."
36、The underlined word gulf in Para 3 most probably means ____________.
A . interest
B . distance
C . separation
D . difference
A B C D
37、Which of the following shows that the generation gap is disappearing?
A . Parents share more interests with their children.
B . Parents put more trust in their children's abilities.
C . Parents and children talk more about sex and drugs.
D . Parents help their children develop interests in more activities.
A B C D
38、The change in today's parent-child relationship is ____________.
A . more confusion among parent's
B . less respect for parents from children
C . new equality between parents and children
D . more strictness and authority on the part of parents
A B C D
39、By saying "today's parents, the 40-year olds, we're on the `After' side," the author means that today's parents ____________.
A . can set a limit to the change
B . follow the trend of the change
C . fail to take the change seriously
D . have little difficulty adjusting to the change
A B C D
40、The purpose of the passage is to ____________.
A . describe the difficulties today's parents have met with
B . suggest the ways to handle the parent-child relationship
C . discuss the development of the parent-child relationship
D . compare today's parent-child relationship with that in, the past
A B C D
Passage 1
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.
??? “Family” is of course an elastic(有弹性的) word. But when British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of “family” in its narrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family -- hence the tremendous（巨大的）importance of marriage in British life. For both the man and the woman, marriage means leaving one’s parents and starting one’s own life. The man’s first duty will then be to his wife, and the wife’s to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financial support, and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibility and theirs alone. Neither the wife’s parents nor the husband’s, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, have any right to interfere with them -- they are their own masters.
Readers of novels like Jane Austin’s “Pride and Prejudice” will know that in former times marriage among wealthy families was arranged by the girl’s parents, that is, it was the parents’ duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragement to lead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her. Until that time, the girl was protected and maintained in the parents’ home, and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry. It is very different today. Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage. This has had two results. A girl chooses her own husband, and she gets no dowry.
41、What does the author mean by “Family is of course an elastic word”?
A . Ways of life are different in different families.
B . Different definitions could be given to the word.
C . Different countries have different families.
D . Different times produce different families.
A B C D
42、For an English family, the husband’s duty is ___________.
A . to support the family while the wife’s is financial
B . to defend the family while the wife’s is running the home
C . to make money while the wife’s is running the home
D . independent while the wife’s is dependent
A B C D
43、Everything is decided in a family _________.
A . by the couple
B . with the help of their parents
C . by brothers and sisters
D . with the help of aunts and uncles
A B C D
44、What is true about the book “Pride and Prejudice”?
A . It is the best book on marriage.
B . It is a handbook of marriage.
C . We can learn something about English social life in the past.
D . It provides a lot of information of former-time wealthy families.
A B C D
45、As to marriage in Britain, today’s girls are different from girls in the past in _______.
A . the right to get married
B . more parental support
C . choosing husbands
D . social position
A B C D
Passage 2
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.
??? Many companies have run into serious troubles trying to coordinate(协调) their sales and promotional efforts. For example, one firm authorized a large promotional drive to introduce a new product in Latin Americ（A）The promotion（促销） ran smoothly, but someone forgot to coordinate product delivery － the home office was totally unaware of the sales push and had no plans to ship the product. Consumers were confused and money was wasted when promoted product was not available.
??? To avoid such occurrences, all plans should be in writing and someone should be responsible for central coordination. Hence, risks are lessened and opportunities to save money may arise. Coca-Cola, for instance, requires that all overseas marketing plans be submitted to the central office well in advance. This gives the company a chance to examine the concepts. Previous experiences with similar plans can be viewed and necessary changes can be suggested. Sometimes central company manager’s ventures have failed in the past. Minor improvements tried overseas with success should also be reported. There is no need to reinvent the wheel. Coordination not only reduces the chance of errors, it also provides opportunities to learn improved methods.
With so many details to consider, it is rather easy to understand how so many firms have blundered. Nevertheless, their errors illustrate the importance of paying attention to detail.
46、In the example in the first paragraph, the firm failed because ____.
A . its home office didn’t support them
B . it didn’t report its plan to its home office
C . very few customers responded to its efforts
D . it cost so much money
A B C D
47、The Coca-Cola company requires that ____.
A . overseas firms follow the orders by the central office
B . overseas firms turn in plans to the central office before carrying them out
C . minor improvements be reported to the central office
D . failures be recorded in the files in the central office
A B C D
48、According to the author, coordination involves ____.
A . preventing the company from committing the same mistake
B . passing on orders from the central office
C . training personnel from the overseas firms
D . helping overseas firms make small improvements
A B C D
49、In the passage, coordination can be compared to ____.
A . a bridge between the central office and overseas firms
B . a passage through which the orders by the central office can reach its overseas firms
C . a trial-and-error lab to avoid similar errors
D . a file recording all the cases in the history of the company
A B C D
50、“Blundered” in the last paragraph means ____.
A . been done with
B . gone bankrupt
C . made success
D . done wrong
A B C D
Passage 3
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.
In 1957 a ten-year-old boy in California set a goal(目标). At the time Jim Brown was the greatest running back ever to play pro football and this tall, skinny（瘦骨嶙峋的） boy wanted his autograph. In order to accomplish his goal, the young boy had to overcome some obstacles.
??? He grew up in the ghetto (贫民区), where he never got enough to eat. Malnutrition took its toll, and a disease called rickets (软骨病) forced him to wear steel splints (夹板) to support his skinny, bowed-out legs. He had no money to buy a ticket to get into the game, so he waited patiently near to locker room until the game ended and Jim Brown left the field. He politely asked Brown for his autograph. As Brown signed, the boy explained, “Mr. Brown, I have your picture on my wall. I know you hold all the records. You’re my idol.”
??? Brown smiled and began to leave, but the young boy wasn’t finished. He proclaimed, “Mr. Brown, one day I’m going to break every record you hold!” Brown was impressed and asked, “What is your name, son?”
??? The boy replied, “Orenthal James. My friends call me O.J.”
O.J. Simpson went on to break all but three of the rushing records held by Jim Brown before injuries shortened his football career. Goal setting is the strongest force for human motivation. Set a goal and make it come true.

Passage 4
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.
For anybody who ever failed a maths test, something marvelous happened in Stockholm on December 10, 2000. A soft-spoken fellow from Kansas ― a guy who was turned down by the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) because his maths scores were too low and who never had much formal physics training ― received the Nobel Prize in physics. This is slightly ironical, because Jack St Clair Kilby is not a physicist.
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences was willing to overlook that minor detail, though, because Kilby did, after all, come up with the most valuable invention of the past half-century: the microchip. Jack Kilby’s idea sparked the information age. The tiny silicon chip at the heart of all digital devices has arguably become the most important industrial commodity since crude oil. Without the chip, there could be no personal computers or mobile phones, no Internet or Play-Stations. The semiconductor integrated circuit has changed the world as fundamentally as did the light bulb, the telephone and the horseless carriage. But somehow the man who made the microchip has never achieved the recognition that Edison, Bell and Ford enjoyed. Thanks to the Nobel Prize, at age 78, Jack Kilby finally received the attention he deserved.
56、Kilby is a(n) ____.
A . American
B . Frenchman
C . Swedish
D . Englishman
A B C D
57、Kilby won the Nobel Prize because ____.
A . he did great research in MIT
B . he is an excellent physicist
C . he has had much formal training in physics
D . he invented the microchip
A B C D
58、It was the invention of ____ that led to the information age.
A . telephone
B . Microchip
C . light bulb
D . assembly line
A B C D
59、Before the invention of the microchip, ____ was the most important industrial commodity.
A . telephone
