2、h my wages, there's not much left on a Tuesday. I hope the £5 was useful to you . I have informed the social security office so you won’t be able to cash the child benefit next week. I hope that won't leave you too short. But if you really need a couple of pounds, I suppose you could always cash one
3、 of the two checks left in my check book. Of course, I phoned the bank right away and the check-casing card is no longer valid, so it won’t be much use to you. Actually I don’t mind about the money too much. We single parents who work to support our families understand only too well what it means t
4、o be short of cash. However, I don’t suppose it went very far among the three of you. Sorry about that! I wish you had left the bag behind and just taken the wallet and check book. There were all kinds of papers in it, and notes and things that I really need. I really think that was very inconsider
5、ate of you. I mean, how would you like something like that to happen to you? Well, perhaps the bag will turn up. It wasn’t even an expensive one, just a plain, old brown leather shoulder bag. You probably dumped it in the nearest rubbish bin or threw it into the bushes. We've looked around, of cour
6、se, but no one saw which way you went after you left the shop. I'm not really angry with you. I know how the pressures of modern living can affect us, but I am sad at the loss of my personal things. I feel violated and helpless. The police were very icy, and they just shrugged their shoulders. “It
7、happens all the time,” they told me. Some small comfort, I suppose. But I’ve lost just a little more faith in human nature.And as my young son said when I told him what had happened, “Why? Mummy, why us?” I couldn't answer that question. I wonder if you can. 1. In writing Paragraph 2, the writer wa
8、nts to . A. describe the contents of the bag in detail. B. give some suggestions to the three thieves C. state the fact that she was careless with the money D. tell the thieves hardly any money was available 2. Which of the following is the most valuable to the writer? A. The cash i
9、n her bag. B. The handbag itself. C. The papers and notes in the bag. D. The check books in the bag. 3. What can we conclude about the police? A. They think the case quite common. B. They show sympathy for the woman. C. They have doubts about human nature. D. They are unable to find the thieves.
10、 4. Why does the author write the letter? A. To give the thieves a serious warning. B. To express her affection for her valuable bag. C. To call people’s attention to their belongings. D. To complain about the fall of morality. B Job sharing refers to the situation in which two people divide
11、the responsibility of one full- time job. The two people willingly act as part-time workers, enough hours between them to fulfill the duties of a full-time worker. If they each work half the job, for example, they each receive 50 per cent of the job’s wages, its holidays and its other benefits.
12、Job sharing differs from conventional part-time work in that it occurs mainly in the more highly skilled and professional areas, which require higher levels of responsibility and employee commitment. Job sharing should not be confused with the term work sharing, which refers to increasing the numbe
13、r of jobs by reducing the number of hours of each existing job, thus offering more positions to the growing number of unemployed people. Job sharing, by contrast, is not designed to address unemployment problems; its focus, rather, is to provide well-paid work for skilled workers and professionals w
14、ho want more free time for other activities. As would be expected, most job sharers are women. A survey carried out in 1988 by Britain’s Equal Opportunities Commission showed that 78 per cent of sharers were female, the majority of whom were between 20 and 40 years of age. Subsequent studies have c
15、ome up with similar results. Many of these women were re-entering the job market after having had children, but they chose not to seek part-time work because it would have meant lower status. Job sharing also offered an acceptable shift back into full-time work after a long absence. The necessity o
16、f close cooperation when sharing a job with another person makes the actual work quite different from conventional one-position jobs. However, to ensure a greater chance that the partnership will succeed, each person needs to know the strengths, weaknesses and preferences of his or her partner befor
17、e applying for a position. Moreover, there must be a fair division of both routine tasks and interesting ones. In sum, for a position to be job-shared well, the two individuals must be well matched and must treat each other as equals. 5. In what way is work sharing different from job sharing? A. W
18、ork sharing is aimed at creating more jobs. B. Work sharing requires more working hours. C. Work sharing provides a more satisfactory salary. D. Work sharing depends on the employer’s decision. 6. According to Paragraph 4, young mothers preferred job sharing to conventional part-time work mainl
19、y because _________. A. they were over ideal working ages B. they sought higher social status C. they had difficulty finding full-time jobs D. they had to take care of both work and family 7. In job sharing the partners should __________. A. enjoy equal social status???????????????????? ?? B
20、. have similar work experience C.??know each other very well ????????? ? ? D. keep in touch with each other 8. The main purpose of the passage is to ___________. A. discuss how to provide more jobs??? B. describe job sharing in general C.?recommend job sharing to women D. compare job s
21、haring with work sharing 參考答案 1— 4 DCAD 5—8.ABCB 2 BEIJING, China (CNN) -- Chinese workers and army soldiers were racing to sweep snow-covered highways and unclog railway routes for millions of travelers trapped by cold weather. More than 67 million people have been affected by the weathe
22、r and economic losses are expected to reach as much as $3 billion, Chinese officials say. The snowstorms have damaged power lines, houses and farmland, causing fears of food and energy shortages. Twenty-four people have died and some 827,000 people have been evacuated in 14 different provinces, the
23、 Ministry of Civil Affairs said Monday. In the past week, the snowstorms have hit the provinces in central, eastern and southern China. "We've never seen such a cold weather lasting for such long a time," said Tang Shan, a man in his 70s in Changsha, the capital of Hunan province. "The last time w
24、e had one here was over 50 years ago, and not this bad." The snow and sleet have paralyzed(使癱瘓)roads, railways and airports, leaving tens of millions of travelers marooned, officials say. Many of them are bound for home ahead of the traditional Lunar New Year, also known as the Spring Festival, whi
25、ch falls on February 7. The Lunar New Year travel is China's busiest travel period of the year. But the cold weather is delaying travel plans. In the southern city of Guangzhou, as many as 500,000 train passengers had to stay in the station. About 100,000 packed the square in front of the train sta
26、tion while others found shelter in schools and other public buildings while waiting for their trains. Chinese premier Wen Jiabao has ordered urgent measures to unclog the transport jam and ensure a steady supply of food and energy. “Let’s unite as one to fight against the disaster,” he said in an
27、emergency meeting.“Let’s ensure that the people enjoy the Spring Festival.” But more terrible weather is expected. On Monday China’s Weather Station issued a rare“red alert”warning of more serious snowstorms in the coming days. If so, the number of trapped travelers will surely increase. 1.What
28、is the passage mainly about? A.The transport jam before the Spring Festival. B.The terrible effects of the snowstorms. C.The travelers’fears of food shortages. D.The measures to fight against the disaster. 2.According to the passage, which of the following are mentioned? a.A large number of pa

32、pearance of mass audience television in the 1950's. The development of media channels such as satellite and cable television, the internet and mobile telephones has broken the traditional free television model in every advanced economy. Well managed sports will remain valuable content and many will
33、continue to grow. Forward thinking governing bodies will grasp the opportunity by repackaging their sports to adapt to the new broadcast landscape. Others will not. Brand marketers have seen the effectiveness of the traditional TV sport advertising fall over the last twenty years as audiences for f
34、ree to air television fall year by year. The growth of sponsorship(贊助)as a marketing tool is one result. However, sport must compete for the sponsor dollar with other forms of content such as music, the arts and culture and cause-related marketing, each of which offers a powerful choice. At the sam
35、e time some of sports biggest marketers, the soft drink, beer and fast food companies, will come under growing pressure from social and political pressure groups concerned about levels of obesity(肥胖), over drinking and anti-social behavior that have become such a part of modern life. Companies such
36、 as McDonalds, Coca Cola and Budweiser face calls to cut its ties with sport, which will be popular over the next decade. Are we facing a ban on soft drink sponsorship similar to that of tobacco? Certainly, the removal of hundreds of millions of sponsorship dollars from the sports economy worldwide
37、would have destructive influence. This report analyses the threat, seeking comparisons with the strategy employed by the tobacco abolitionists(廢除主義者) a decade ago. 1.Which of the following does NOT affect traditional television model? A.Cable television. B.The internet. C.Mobile phones. D.Mass
38、audience television 2.What can we infer from the second paragraph? A.Sponsorship leads to the fall of sport advertising. B.Sport can’t match the arts. C.Music, the art and culture often act as sponsors in sports. D.The fall of advertising only happens to some brand marketers 3.If a child is ov
39、erweight, which of the following may be responsible according to this passage? A.His parents. B.Growing sport sponsorship C.Some big food or drink companies. D.Advanced economy. 4.In he last paragraph, the author fears that A.the ban on tobacco will be abolished ten years later. B.the sponsors
40、hip of soft drink companies will destruct sports economy. C.food and drink companies will be popular. D.fast food and soft drink sponsorship will be banned like tobacco sooner or later. 參考答案 D A C D 4 The Child Ego State The Child ego state is a set of behaviors, thoughts and feelings whi
41、ch are replayed from our own childhood. Perhaps the boss calls us into his or her office, we may immediately get a churning in our stomach and wonder what we have done wrong. If this were explored we might remember the time the head teacher called us in to tell us off. Of course, not everything in
42、the Child ego state is negative. We might go into someone’s house and smell a lovely smell and remember our grandmother’s house when we were little, and all the same warm feelings we had at six years of age may come flooding back. The Child ego states are constantly being updated. For example, we m
43、ay meet someone who gives us the permission we needed as a child, and did not get, to be fun and joyous. We may well use that person in our imagination when we are stressed to resist our old ways of thinking that we must work longer and longer hours to keep up with everything. We might ask ourselves
44、 “I wonder what X would say now.” Then on hearing the new permissions to relax and take some time out, do just that and then return to the work renewed and ready for the challenge. Afterwards, rather than blaming ourselves for what we did or did not do, what tends to happen is that we automatically
45、start to give ourselves new permissions and take care of ourselves. Alternatively, we might have had an extremely unpleasant experience yesterday which goes into the Child ego state as an antique memory that stands in the way of our growth. Positive experiences will also go into the Child ego state
46、 as antique memories. The positive experiences can then be drawn on to remind us that positive things do happen. The process of analyzing personality in terms of ego states is called structural analysis. It is important to remember that ego states do not have an existence of their own. They are con
47、cepts to enable understanding. Therefore it is important to say “I want some fun” rather than “My Child wants some fun.” We may be in our Child ego state when we say this, but saying “I” reminds us to take responsibility for our actions. 1. The writer uses two examples in Paragraph 2 in order to __
48、___. A. support the idea in Paragraph 1 B. explain why we become nervous C. prove the Child ego state is negative D. introduce the point of Paragraph 3 2. By asking “I wonder what X would say now”, we intend to __________. A. blame ourselves B. accept challeng
49、es C. keep up with everything D. avoid stress 3. According to the passage, the Child ego state __________. A. shows one’s wisdom B. influences one’s actions C. limits one’s thoughts D. exists in one’s childhood 4. The underlined word “this” in t
50、he last paragraph refers to __________. A. structural analysis B. “My Child wants some fun” C. the Child ego state D. “I want some fun” B The Cave Crawler mining robot Why do human beings still risk their lives under ground and doing one of the dirties
51、t and most dangerous jobs in the world? It’s an increasingly urgent question,given the recent high-profile(引人注目的)mining accidents in Sago, W. Va., and Huntington, Utah. A small group of engineers and robotics experts envision(展望)a day in the not-too-distant future when robots and other technology do
52、 most of the dangerous mining work.. One of the first mining robots was developed five years ago at Carnegie-Mellon University’s Robotics Institute. It was called Groundhog and it looked like a golf cart. It used lasers to “see” in dark tunnels and map abandoned mines—some of the most dangerous wo
53、rk in the business. The latest prototype is called Cave Crawler. It’s a bit smaller than Groundhog, and even more advanced. It can take photos and video and has sensors mounted that can detect the presence of dangerous gases. Incredibly, the robot has a real sense of logic. If it comes across an ob
54、stacle it gets momentarily confused, it has to think through the process and where to go next, and sometimes it throws a fit just like a real person. The biggest obstacle, though, is cost. The original research project was federally funded, but that money has dried up, and it’s not clear where fut
55、ure funding will come from. Partly for that reason, and partly because of advances in safety, mining is not nearly as dangerous as it was in the past. Since 1990, fatalities have declined by 67 percent, and injuries by 51 percent, according to the National Mining Association. Some experts predict t
56、hat robots in mines will serve much of the same function that they do in the automotive industry. The robots do the most repetitive and dangerous jobs, but don’t eliminate the need for human workers. 5.The latest robot is more advanced than Groundhog mainly because . A. it can map abandoned
57、mines B. the robot has a real sense of logic C. it can see in the dark tunnel D. it’s a bit smaller than Groundhog 6.We can infer from the last paragraph that . A. the mine robots will have a very bright future B. robots in mines will serve much in the automotive industry C. there will
58、be no need for human workers in mines D. robots in mines have a long way to go 7. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage? A. High-profile mining accidents in America. B. The development of robot. C. Could robots replace humans in mines? D. Cave Crawler, the latest robot.
59、 參考答案 1---4. ADBD 5---7. BAC 5 Nowadays, people in China are increasingly interested in celebrating foreign festivals, especially those western festivals. A survey conducted recently by sina. com. showed that among the 18,222 people surveyed 63.90% said celebrating Christmas is jus
60、t another way of recreation, nothing serious while 17.85% surveyed considered the festival as a fashion act, showing they were not “out”. These two parts clearly indicate the general opinion of the young. 10.45% people involved said the celebration of a religious western festival with so much enthus
61、iasm is absolutely ridiculous pursuit of foreign goodness. Only 7.80% of people define Christmas as a kind of festival colonization(殖民). The arising of celebrating foreign festivals clearly has something to do with the advancement of China’s economy. In my point view, Christmas and other festivals
62、celebrated in China have difference from the origin. They have lost their religious background and turned into a big occasion to have fun and enjoy life. Shop owners’ pockets are filled, the public’s hunger for happiness is filled, and that is enough. Foreign festivals in China are more like carniva
63、ls giving people pleasure and enjoyment. The crisis of traditional Chinese festivals that are losing their attraction may be linked to the culture tradition and background of the festivals. Most Chinese festival culture is related more or less to real life. “The country is based on its people while
64、 the people are relied on their food”. But the western culture shows much of romance. Some festivals have their religious background while others have much to do with culture and people. At this point, food seems to be too plain. Flowers and chocolates are more welcomed. Foreign festivals in China
65、 are celebrated for fun. They give people opportunities to relax and celebrate, to show appreciation and gratefulness. The acceptance of foreign festivals generally depends on the openness of the public, the familiarity with the western culture, and most importantly, on people’s economic status. 1.
66、From the survey we know that among the people surveyed ______. A.most think celebrating foreign festivals is ridiculous B.many fear that traditional Chinese festivals will disappear soon C.some think that celebrating foreign festivals is a sign of foreign goodness chasing D.half think celebrating foreign festivals makes people not go out of fashion 2.The writer thinks that foreign festivals celebrated in China ______. A.have lost their religi
