She worried particularly about the lack of jobs, the cultural differences and the chance that I would face racism(种族偏见).‎ Despite these worries, I came to New Zealand in July 2009. I have found the place and people very nice and supportive. Soon after I arrived, I realized the importance of getting a job for my ‎ living expenses.‎ Determined to do this on my own, I spent a whole day going door to door asking for a job. However, I received little response. This became my routine every day after college for a few weeks.‎ One afternoon, I walked into a building to ask whether there were any job opportunities. People there were very surprised, and advised me not to continue my job search in that manner. As I was about to leave, a clerk in the building, who had been listening to what the others had said, approached me and asked me to wait outside for a while. Fifteen minutes later, he returned. He asked me about my plans and encouraged me to stay confident. Then he offered to take me to Royal Oak to search for a job.‎ I was a little surprised but had a good feeling about him. He gave me some suggestions on dressing and speaking. I handed out my resumes and went home feeling very satisfied. The following day, I received a call from a store in Royal Oak offering me a job.‎ It seems that the world always gives back to you when you need it .And this time，it was a complete stranger who turned out to be a real blessing.‎ ‎11．What wasn’t the author’s mother worried about?‎ A.

How the author adapted himself to a new situation.‎ We Chinese are not big huggers. A handshake or a pat on the shoulder is enough to express our friendship or affection (love) to one another. So when our newly-acquainted Western friends reach out in preparation for a hug, some of us feel awkward. Many questions go through our head. Where should I put my arms? Under their armpits or around their neck? What distance should I keep? Should our chests touch?‎ It’s even more difficult with friends from some European countries. Should I kiss them on the cheek while hugging? Which side? Or is it both cheeks? Which side should I start on?‎ But it isn’t just people from cultures that are conservative(保守的) in expressing physical contact ‎ who find hugging confusing．Hugs can cause discomfort or even distress(pain) in people who value their personal space．‎ In a recent article for The Wall Street Journal, US psychologist Peggy Drexler said that although the US remains a “medium touch” culture, Americans do seem to be hugging more. From politicians to celebrities（famous people）, hugs are given to friends, strangers and enemies alike; whether they are willing or not; and the public has been quick to pick up the practice.‎ Public figures know that nothing expresses likeability(亲和力)like a good hug. US First Lady Michelle Obama has put her arms around icy foreign leaders like Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and the Queen of England on the latter occasion actually breaking the rule of royal manners.‎ But not all are grateful to be embraced(hugged), even by the most influential and famous. To them, any hug is offensive(冒犯的) if it’s not sincere.‎ Amanda Hess, writing for US magazine Slate, says public figures should stop imposing（强加） hugs on everyone they meet. For them, a hug is rarely a gesture of sincere fellowship, compassion or affection. It’s all part of a show. Hugs are falsely intimate power plays used by public figures to establish their social dominance(主导) over those in their grasp.‎ Cecilia Walden, a British journalist writing for The Telegraph who lives in New York, holds the same opinion. “Power-hugging”, as she calls it, is “an offender dressed up as kindness”. It has become a fashion in the US where “bosses are already embracing their staff (either shortly before or after firing them), men and women ,their friends or enemies, in a thousand cheating displays of unity”.‎ ‎15．From the first third paragraphs, we can see that ___________.‎ A. we Chinese people don’t know how to hug B hugs can bring pressure to people when used improperly C. people from European countries often get puzzled about hugging D. people in Western countries seldom use hugs to express their physical closeness ‎16．The example of US first lady Michelle Obama is given to show that __________.‎ A. hugs are forbidden in England B. she is much liked by American people C. Americans hold a “medium touch ”culture D. public figures know hugging functions well in public ‎17．Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase “pick up the practice”?‎ A．Follow the trend．‎ B．Enjoy the medium touch culture．‎ C．Give hugs to enemies．‎ D．Resist physical touch．‎ ‎18．What can be the best title of this passage?‎ A. Hugs, tricky affair? B. Hugs, vital or not?‎ C. Hugs and public figures D. Hugs and power Most British telephone cards are just plain green, but card collecting is becoming a popular hobby in Britain and collectors even have their own magazine, International Telephone Cards. One reason for their interest is that cards from around the world come in a wide variety of different and often very attractive designs. There are 100,000 different cards in Japan alone, and there you can ‎ put your own design onto a blank card simply by using a photograph or a business card.‎ The first telephone cards, produced in 1976, were Italian. Five years later the first British card appeared, and now you can buy cards in more than a hundred countries.‎ People usually start collecting cards mainly because they are attractive, small and light, and they do not need much space. It is also a cheap hobby for beginners, although for some people it becomes a serious business. In Paris, for example, there is a market where you can buy only telephone cards, and some French cards cost up to 4,000 pounds. The first Japanese card has a value of about 28,000 pounds. Most people only see cards with prices like these in their collectors’ magazine.‎ ‎19．The passage is mainly about _____‎ A. the disadvantages of phone cards B. phone card collecting as a hobby C. reasons for phone card collecting D. the great variety of phone cards.‎ ‎20．When did people in Britain begin to use phone cards?‎ A. In 1971. B. In 1975. C. In 1976. D.

It was seen more as a medium to inform the buyers rather than persuade them to buy. The present day marketers see advertisement as a medium to damage the image of their competitors and their products. This indeed, is an undesirable and an immoral practice. Instead of speaking about their own products, these marketers speak about the drawbacks (often without any basics) of the competing products.‎ People watching TV advertisements would notice that there has always been an advertisement war between the marketers of different consumer goods. A few such cases are given below.‎ ‎1. Parachute Coconut Oil vs. V.V.D. Gold Some time back, the producer of V.V.D Gold Coconut Oil claimed in their TV advertisement that only their products was superior and the one sold in blue colour bottles (the reference was to Parachute coconut oil) was suitable only for un-natural hair.‎ ‎2. Tata Salt vs. Captain Cook Tata salt was first iodised (碘处理) salt marketed by an Indian Company. It has been enjoying a good and steady market. Captain Cook, another producer of iodised salt, who entered the market later, had to adopt some strategy to get control of the market. The TV advertisement of Captain Cook stressed on ‘Free flow’ of their salt when transferred to a container. The producer of Tata Salt retaliated (报复) by saying that the claim of Captain Cook was a trick and those who were quality conscious should deal with it with caution.‎ ‎3. Pepsi vs. Coco Cola Coca Cola was selected as the official soft drink for the Wills World Cricket 1996. When the cricket series was on, the marketers of Pepsi constantly advertised on TV. Their advertisement gave the idea that the cricketers preferred only Pepsi and as a matter of fact there was nothing official about it.‎ ‎4. Horlicks vs. Complan Sometime back, the TV advertisement of Complan, a health drink directly attacked Horlicks,‎ ‎ which has been in the market for several decades. The claim of Complan was that their brand (which according to them was Brand C) has a higher percentage of ingredients (材料) compared to Brand H (reference was nothing but to Horlicks).‎ The above examples clearly show how the technique of advertisement is misused by some marketers to ruin the image of their competitors. This, certainly, is not a healthy trend.‎ Any marketer should only speak about his products and not about his competitors’ products. The awareness of consumers has certainly increased over the years and they are no longer easily taken in. There are many consumer products like salt, oil shaving blades etc. But one thing for sure is that offering the same product in a different container will not make the product different.‎ Mass media like Radio, Television and newspaper should not allow advertisements that tell lies. Legal regulations, in this regard, should also be made stricter.‎ Comparison of the past and the present of advertisements In the past At present A technique mainly used for offering 47．‎ A trick used as a means of unfair 48．‎ The 49． of advertisement ‎50．‎ Products Wrong practices V.V.D. Gold When V.V.D Gold attacked the one sold in blue bottles, it 51．to Parachute Coconut oil.‎ Captain Cook Captain Cook stressed on their “free flow” when their product was 52．to a container.‎ Tata Salt Tata salt retaliated by warning consumers to be 53．about the quality.‎ Pepsi Too much advertisement on TV seemed to say that the cricketers had a 54．for Pepsi.‎ Complan Brand C claimed that their product was much richer in ingredients in55．with Brand H.‎ Solutions ‎56．products. are not allowed to be mentioned in the advertisement.‎ Stricter laws should be made to protect every producers’ and consumers’ benefits.‎ 五、根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.‎ ‎1. Recite and repeat in conversation.‎ When you hear a person’s name，repeat it. 57． . You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.‎ ‎2. Ask the other person to recite and repeat.‎ You can let other people help you remember their names. After you’ve been introduced to someone，ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. 58． .‎ ‎3.Use associations.‎ ‎59． . For example，you could make a mental note: "Vicki Cheng -- tall, black hair. " To reinforce you’re your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.‎ ‎4. 60． .‎ When meeting a group of people, focus on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.‎ ‎5. Go early.‎ Consider going early to conferences, parties and classes. Sometimes just a few people show up on time. 61． . And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to others—an automatic review for you.‎ A. Admit that you don’t know.‎ B.

Link each person yon meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual.‎ F. Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names.‎ G. You will be forgiven later.‎ 六、短文改错 ‎62．短文改错 When I was a child, I hoped to live in the city. I think I would be happy there.‎ Now I am living in a city, but I miss my home in countryside. There the air is clean or the mountains are green. Unfortunately, on the development of industrialization, the environment has been polluted. Lots of studies have been shown that global warming has already become a very seriously problem. The airs we breathe in is getting dirtier and dirtier. Much rare animals are dying out. We must found ways to protect your environment. If we fail to do so, we’ll live to regret it.‎ 七、书面表达 ‎63．假定你是李华，正在新西兰学习，你计划寒假期间在当地旅行，请写一封e-mail向旅行社询问相关的旅行信息。‎ 内容应包括：‎ ‎1．旅行信息（如景点、费用等）；‎ ‎2．当地特色（如食品、风俗等）；‎ ‎3．注意事项。‎ 注意：1．词数100左右；‎ ‎ 2．可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯；‎ ‎ 3．开头语已为你写好，不计入总词数。‎ Dear Sir or Madam,‎ I’m Li Hua, a Chinese student studying in New Zealand.
