2.根据以下资料，回答5-8题。 　　As one approaches some crossroads, one comes to a sign which says that drivers have to stop when they come to the main road ahead．At other crossroads, drivers have to go slow, but they do not actually have to stop (unless, of course, there is something coming along the main road); and at still others, they do not have either to stop or to go slow, because they are themselves on the main road. 　　Mr．Williams, who was always a very careful driver, was driving home from work one evening when he came to a crossroads．It had a "Slow" sign, so he slowed down when he came to the main road, looked both ways to see that nothing was coming, and then drove across without stopping completely. 　　At once he heard a police whistle, so he pulled in to the side of the road and stopped．A policeman walked over to him with a notebook and pencil in his hand and said, "You didn't stop at the crossing." 　　"But the sign there doesn't say 'Stop'," answered Mr Williams．"It just says ‘Slow’, and 1 did go slow." 　　The policeman looked around him, and a look of surprise came over his face．Then he put his notebook and pencil away, scratched his head and said, "Well, I'll be blowed! I am in the wrong street!"6 When Mr Williams heard the police whistle __.

3.Key James, Secretary of Health and Human Resources in the Virginia State government, loves to turn the tables on those who don't think it's possible to be middle-class, conservative, educated and still be truly black．Once, during an abortion debate, a woman in the audience angrily told James she was so middle-class she didn't have a clue about real African American life．"If you understood what these women go through," the woman said, "you would realize that abortion is their only choice." 　　James then asked the woman to consider a poor black mother on welfare．She already has four children and an alcoholic husband who has all but abandoned the family．Now she discovers another child is on the way．"How would you counsel that woman?" asked James. 　　"Have an abortion," the woman responded．"That child would have a very poor quality of life." 　　"I have a vested interest in your answer," James said．"The woman I described was my mother．I was the fifth of six children born into poverty．And, in case you're interested, the quality of my life is just fine!"[单选题] James' father __.

In china, it is relatively usual to ask people their age, but in the west, this question is generally regarded as impolite. This is particularly true 61 women, and even more 62 if the inquirer is a man. However, it is 63 to ask children their age, and some adults may not mind 64 either. In fact, some elderly people are quite happy to 65 their age, especially if they feel they look young 66 their age. Nevertheless, it is not very wise to ask a(n) 67 question like ―How old are you?‖if elderly people want to talk about their age, and perhaps receive a compliment on how young they look, they may easily 68 the topic themselves, and ask the other person to 69

how old they are. 70 such a situation, it is quite acceptable to discuss age 71.They normally expect to be complimented on their youthfulness, though rather than 72 that they look very old! 73 westerners do not usually ask people directly how old they are, this does not 74 that they are not interested to know how old other people

are. They may ask 75 for the information, 76 they may try to 77 the topic indirectly. Sometimes discussions about educational 78 and the number of years of working experience may provide some 79 , but this is not always the 80 .78.

7.根据以下材料，回答40-43题 How men first learned to invent words is unknown；in other words，the origin of language is amystery．All we really know is that men，unlike animals，somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings，actions and things，so that they could communicate with each other；and that later they agreed upon certain signs，called letters，which could be combined to representthose sounds and which could be written down．Those sounds，whether spoken，or written in letters，we call words． The power of words，then，lies in their associations—the things they bring up before ourminds．Words become filled with meaning for us by experience；and the longer We live，the morecertain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past；and the more we read and learn，themore the number of words that mean something to us increases． Great writers are those who not oily have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in wordswhich appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions．This charming and telling use of words is whatwe call literary(文字的)style．AboVe all，the real poet is a master of Words．He can convey hismeaning in words which sing like music，and which by their position and association can move mento tears．We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accuratel3r，or they willmake our speech silly and rude．The real power of words exists in their．.

Most parents,I suppose,have had the experience of reading a bedtime story1their children.And they must have realized how difficult it is to write a2children'sbook.Either the author has aimed(定目标）too3,so that children can't follow whatis in his(or more often,her)story,4the story seems to be talking to the readers.

The best children's books are 5very difficult nor very simple,and satisfy(令人满意的）the6 who hears the story and the adult(成年人）who 7it.Unfortunately（不幸的是），there are in fact few books like this,8 the problem of finding the rightbedtime story is not 9to solve.This may be why many of the books regarded as10of children's literature(文学）were in fact written for11 “Alice in Wonderland"is perhaps the most obvious(明显）of thisChildren,left for themselves,often12the worstpossible interest in literature just leave a child in a bookshop or a13and he will morewillingly choose the books written in an unimaginative(开非想象的）way.orhavelook at the most children’s comics(连环图书），full of the stories and jokes which ate the rejectionsof teachers and righting-thinking parents.Perhaps we parents should stop14 to brainwash(洗脑）children into accepting（接受）our taste in literature.After all,children and adults are so15 that we parentsshould not expect that they will enjoy the same books.So I suppose we'll just have to compromise(妥协）over the bedtime story.12（单选）

11.The environment affects the way people interact.To examine this conclusion,two researchers"decorated"three rooms:One room was refurnished to look ugly.The second room was intended to look average.The third room was designed to be beautiful.Individuals were then asked to sit in one of the three rooms and rate several pictures of people's faces.The resultsindicated that the environment has a significant effect on the way peoplerated the faces.Subjects in the beautiful room gave the pictures higher rates than did subjects in the ugly room. In addition,subjects in the ugly room found the task more unpleasant and boring than did subjects in the beautiful room.Subjects assigned to the ugly room attempted to leave sooner than did subjects assigned to the beautiful room.Color is one environmental factor that can affect your mood and even your ability to concentrate.One researcher concluded that the most pleasant colors,listed in order of preference,were blue,green,purple,red and yellow.The colors listed from most to least arousing were red,orange,yellow,violet,blue,and green.Lighting also affects behavior.Elegant restaurants with dim lighting create a mood ofintimacy(亲密）that encourages conversation.The bright lights of an office or classroom,on the other hand, arouse and stimulate thinking.Room decoration,color,lighting,and even music and temperature all influence communication with others,but there is no all-purpose environment.The ideal environmentdepends on the task that will be performed as well as on the needs and expectations ofthosepresent.The same environmentalfactors that encourage lively conversation and dancing at a New Year's Eve party cannot be expected to create asereneclimate in which to study for final exams.The underlined word"serene"in the last sentence is closest in meaning to（）

I am often asked to describe the experience of raising a child with a disability.

It is like this. 61 you are going to have a baby, it ’s like preparing a vacation trip to Italy. You 62 a bunch of guidebooks and make wonderful 63 . You may learn some useful phrases 64 Italian. It ’s all very exciting. 65 several months of eager expectation, the day finally 66 . You pack your bags and off you go.

13.Eating an apple a day doesn' t keep the doctor away, but it does reduce the amount of trips youmake to the drug store per year. That ' s according to a new study that investigates whether there's any truth in the old saying.A team of researchers led by Dr Matthew Davis, of the University of Michigan School ofNursing,asked 8,399 participants to answer survey questions about diet and health. A total of 753were apple eaters, consuming at least 149g of raw apple per day. The remaining 7,646 were classedas non-apple eaters. When both groups answered questions on trips to the doctor and trips to thedrug store per year,the apple eaters were found to be 27% less likely to visit the druggist for drugs.Trips to the doctor were not significantly affected by apple consumption, though. "Evidence doesnot support that an apple a day keeps the doctor away. However, the small number of US adultswho eat an apple a day does appear to use fewer prescription medications," the study concludes.Apple eaters were also found to be less likely to smoke and be more likely to have a highereducational attainment than non-apple eaters. While apples do not compete with oranges, theydocontain some immune (免疫的) system-increasing vitamin C, which may be why apple-eaters visit the druggist less. With over 8mg of vitamin C per medium-sized fruit, an apple can provide roughly 14% your daily recommended intake.Previous studies have also linked apple consumption to a lower risk of Type 2 diabetes (二型糖尿病) ,improved lung function and a lower risk of colon (结肠) cancer.What is the conclusion of the study?

16.根据以下资料，回答119-122题。 　　Train companies in Tokyo are taking action to reduce the number of people jumping in front of trains．They are fitting blue lights on station platforms to try and create a more calming atmosphere．The East Japan Railway Company has invested almost $170,000 to install the lights in all of the 29 stations on the capital's busy Yamanote Line．There has been an alarming rise in the number of people committing suicide at train stations．A total of 68 people threw themselves under trains in the year up to March．This compares with 42 suicides in the same period a year earlier．In 2008, Japan had nearly 2,000 suicides by jumping in front of a train; around six percent of all suicides nationwide．Suicides have risen sharply in the past decade due to poor economic conditions. 　　No one knows if the blue lights will work．There is no evidence to show that blue light reduces suicidal feelings． Keihan Railway spokesman Osamu Okawa stated: "We thought we had to do something to save lives．We know there is no scientific proof that blue lights deter suicides, but if blue has a soothing effect on the mind, we want to try it to save lives." The Associated Press news agency reports on a Japanese therapist called Mizuki 　　　Takahashi．She explained her reasons why the blue lights might be a good idea: "We associate the color with the sky and the sea．It has a calming effect on agitated people, or people obsessed with one particular thing, which in this case is committing suicide," she said．Other companies are watching this experiment with interest.119 Why blue lights are installed in many train stations?

17.材料题Like every language, American English is full of special expressions, phrases that come from the day-to-day life of the people and develop in their own way．Our expression today is “to face the music”． When someone says, “well, I guess I’ll have to face the music,” it does not mean he’s planning to go to the concert．It is something far less pleasant, like being called in by your boss to explain why you did this and did that, and why you didn’t do this or that．Sour music indeed, but it has to be faced At sometime or another, every one of us has had to face the music, especially as children．We can all remember father’s angry voice, “I want to talk to you．” and only because we did not obey him．What an unpleasant business it was! The phrase “to face the music” is familiar to every American, young and old,It is at least 100 years old ．And where did this expression come from? The first explanation comes from the American novelist, James Fenimore Looper．He said, in 1851, that the expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings to go on the stage．When they got their cue to go on, they often said, “Well, it’s time to face the music．” And that was exactly what they did — facing the orchestra which was just below them．And an actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of an audience that might be friendly or perhaps hostile, especially if he forgot his lines．But he had to go out．If he did not, there would be no play．So the expression “to face the music” come to mean “having to go through something, no matter how unpleasant the experience might be, because you knew you had no choice．” Other explanations about the expression go back to the army．When the men faced an inspection by their leader, the soldiers would be worried about how well they looked ．Was their equipment clean, shinny enough to pass the inspection? Still the men had to go out and face the music of the band as well as the inspection．What else could they do? Another army explanation is more closely related to the idea of facing the results and accepting the responsibility for something that should not have been done．As, for example when a man is forced out of the army because he did something terrible, he is dishonored ．The band does not play．Only the drums tap a sad, slow beat．The soldier is forced to leave, facing such music as it is and facing the back of his horse．99 How many ways does the phrase “to face the music” comes from?
