The car helps to keep families together when it is used for picnics，outings，and other shared experiences．However，when teenage children have the use of the car，their parents can't keep an eye on them．There is a great danger if the driver has been drinking alcohol or taking drugs，or showing off by speeding or breaking down traffic laws．Mothers of victims (受害者) of such accidents have formed an organization called MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving)．These women want to prevent further tragedies (悲剧)．They have worked to encourage the government to limit the youngest drinking age．Students have formed a similar organization，SADD (Students Against Drunk Driving) and are spreading the same message among their friends． For many Americans the automobile is a necessity．But for some，it is also a mark of social position and for young people，a sign of becoming an adult．Altogether，cars mean very much to Americans．‎ ‎21 Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text？ ______ ‎ A. Cars have encouraged the growth of the cities． B. Cars help city families to transport their children to faraway schools． C. Cars have enabled people to live far from their place of work． D. Cars can bring families together when they go for picnics．‎ ‎22 What has been done to deal with the problem of drunk driving？ ______ ‎ A. Some organizations have been set up against drunk driving． B. Patents have paid more attention to their children． C. Mothers have tried to persuade their children not to drink alcohol． D. University students have asked the government to solve the problem．‎ ‎23 We can infer from the text that ______ in America．‎ A. it will be more difficult for people to get new cars B. parents will not allow their children to have their own cars C. cars will still be popular though they have caused many problems． D. the government will encourage people to use public transportation B The impression you make at the beginning of an interview is very important．Employers often decide to hire someone in the first three minutes of the interview．They judge you by your appearance，attitude and manners． A friendly smile when you walk into the room is important．A smile shows a confident and positive attitude． When you introduce yourself，make eye contact with the interviewer．Some interviewers offer a handshake．Others don't． Try to be as natural as possible．But pay attention to your body language．The way you sit，walk，gesture，use your voice and show feelings on your face is all part of your body language．It makes the interviewer know how you feel about yourself and the situation you are in．Are you feeling positively about yourself？Your abilities？Your interest in the job？ Speak clearly and loudly enough．Show interest and enthusiasm in your voice．When you speak，look at the interviewer．Also，don't say negative things about yourself，or former employer． Listen to questions carefully．If you don't understand a question，ask the interviewer to repeat or explain： "I'm sorry，but I didn't catch that．" "I'm not sure exactly what you mean．" Almost everyone is nervous in a job interview．Interviewers know that．They don't expect you to be totally calm and relaxed．But they expect you to try to control your nervousness．They expect you to show confidence in your ability to do the job． At the end of the interview，thank the interviewer for her or his time． It's a good idea to send a short thank-you letter right after the interview，or deliver it by hand． Phone the company if you have not heard anything after one week．Ask if they have made a decision about the job． Good luck！‎ ‎24 It can be learned from the passage that ______ ．‎ A. you should always put on a smile when meeting the employer B. you should stand still with respect before the employer C. employers understand and like employees' nervousness D. the first impression is very important in an interview ‎ ‎25 Why should we pay attention to our body language？ ______ ‎ A. Because it can help us feel about the employer． B. Because it can help us win the employer's positive impression． C. Because it is needed by our employer． D. Because we need it to improve our feelings．‎ ‎26 The main purpose of the passage is ______ ．‎ A. to explain why we should do something about an interview ‎ B. to tell right from wrong about job interviews C. to give you some advice on the art of finding a job D. to suggest not being shy in an interview ‎27 Which of the following can be the best title for the passage？ ______ ‎ A. A Friendly Smile B. Sending a Thank-You Letter． C. Don't Be Nervous D. Making a Good Impression ‎ C You may think that inventions are far away from your everyday life．But in fact，almost everyone can invent．It's just that they do not recognize that their idea could be the start of an invention．Once inventors see their ideas have some practical value，they don't let them slip away． For example，the inventor of the dishwasher，American Josephine Cochrane，loved to give dinner parties．But she found it took too long to wash her dishes by hand and too many of them broke．She decided that a machine could do the job faster and with fewer mistakes．So，in 1886，she set out to make one for herself． Like Cochrane's，most inventions are created to solve a problem．So，the first and most important step is to find the problem． You can start by looking at what is wrong with things you use now．You can ask grandparents or neighbours if they remember ever saying："I wish someone would invent something for…"Or you can look at people in different areas such as on the street，or at school．Then you might notice situations or things in need of improvement． Remember to record your ideas and work．This will help you develop your invention and protect it when it is completed． The next step is to think about possible solutions．An invention is a new way of solving a problem．So think of many，varied，and unusual ways． You can often come up with a solution for a problem by looking at it from a different angle(角度) or thinking about it in a new way． Example 1-instead of thinking of shoes as protecting your feet from the ground，think of using something to protect the ground from your feet． Example 2-instead of thinking about how you can carry oranges home from a store，think of how they can come to you by delivery or growing your own． Example 3-instead of experimenting with only one solution，can you put two or three solutions together，or arrange them in different orders？ And if one solution doesn't work，can it be put to other uses？That was how yellow post-it notes (N次贴) came about----a "failed" adhesive （粘合剂） experiment proved a weak adhesive had good uses too! After all，most inventions are not brand new．They do not come out of nowhere，but come out of things or ideas that already exist (存在)． And the hardest part of inventing，even for a lot of inventors，is coming up with a problem and finding a solution．Once you have an idea，you can always get help building your invention． This problem-solving technique can also work in your everyday lives．So，why not try it in your studies，in your relationship with others，or even in the way you look at the world？‎ ‎28 The main idea of this story is ______ ．‎ A. that you can invent and how you will be able to do so B. how to improve the world around you C. problem-solving technique D. how inventors invent ‎29 What makes inventors different from other people is probably that ______ ．‎ A. they consider every new idea as an invention B. they are full of creative ideas C. they look for problems and try to solve them in a new and better way D. they enjoy solving problems ‎30 What made Josephine Cochrane decide to invent the dishwasher？ ______ ‎ A. Her love of parties． B. Her desire for something that could do the dishwashing better． C. Her dislike of dishwashing． D. Her love of inventing．‎ ‎31 Which of the following is one of the ways to find a problem？ ______ ‎ A. Look at the world from a different angle． B. Never let a practical idea slip away． C. Do experiments． D. Find out things that people are not satisfied with．‎ D For almost two months Dominic York，a 23-year-old hairdresser，wandered(游荡) about hospitals all night，wearing a white coat and pretending he was a doctor．Yesterday he proudly claimed(声称) in court that despite his complete lack(缺乏) of medical experience or qualifications(资格)，he had saved several people's lives．He had even been allowed to assist a surgeon(外科医生) during an emergency operation on a patient who was about to die on something she had swallowed． "I watched one of those TV dramas about a hospital and suddenly I felt like playing one of the roles myself．So I put on a white jacket and a stethoscope （听诊器） and walked around one of the biggest hospital in London．At first I just watched．Once you learn how doctors talk to patients，nurses and other doctors，it's easy to take people in，"he said． ‎ ‎ One of the patients he treated was Laura Kennan．She had been knocked down by a car and fainted．When she came to in hospital，York was standing over her． "He looked very professional．He told me his name was Doctor Simon．Then he gave me some sort of injection，"she said．And then he suddenly cleared off when a nurse asked who he was．She didn't think there was anything wrong．"I would never have realized he was a fake(骗子) if a policewoman hadn't showed me his photograph a week later．When the policewoman told me who he really was，I could hardly believe my ears．" Judge Raymond Adams told York that he was "shocked and horrified" that he got away with his deceiving(欺骗) for so long，and then sentenced him to eighteen months in a special prison for criminal with mental disorders． "I can only hope that this will not lead to further problems．After all，you will have considerable opportunity to study the behaviour of the psychiatrists（精神科医生）who will look after you while you are there．If you try to persuade people that you yourself are a psychiatrist after you are set free，I shall make sure that you are given a much longer sentence(宣判)．"Judge Adams warned York．‎ 32 York was proud of the fact that ______ ．‎ A. a surgeon let him watch an operation B. people thought he could become a real doctor C. he had cheated doctors for so long D. he could perform some duties of a doctor 33 York learned how to behave like a doctor by ______ ．‎ A. observing doctors while he was a patient B. talking to doctors and nurses C. getting some training and experience D. watching other doctors work 34 Why was Laura Kennan in hospital？ ______ ‎ A. She had been injured in a road accident． B. She had to have an emergency operation． C. She had swallowed something and almost died． D. She had lost consciousness while driving．‎ 35 The judge's remark implied that York would be more severely punished if he ______ ．‎ A. was proud of what he had done B. tried to get away from prison C. pretended to be a psychiatrist D. studied the behavior of the psychiatrist．‎ 第二节：任务型阅读。 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。选项中有两项为多于选项，请把答案写在答题卡上。‎ How to use speed reading to go through newspapers or magazines？(36) ______ You will not only save time，but also your focus will increase and you will have fun reading even the uninteresting reports． (37) ______. This plays to the advantage of the tired reader who wants to stay current(与时俱进) but has very little time to read．Often all you need to understand a news piece is the first paragraph．Here the reporter will tell you what's happening，who it's happening to and where it's happening． Sometimes you don't even need to read the entire(整个的) paragraph because the first sentence or the first couple of sentences give you all the information．If you still have more time you can move on to step two．(38) ______ ‎ Read the last paragraph．Some news pieces are follow-ups of events that were earlier reported．In such a situation，the first paragraph may not give you all the information you need．(39) ______ It's usually in the last paragraph that the reader is given the background information that leads to the story． Read the "quotes"(引述). After you've read the first and last paragraphs and you still feel you need more information or have more time to play with，you can come into middle of the piece by reading the direct speech of the sources of the news item．In all forms of writing where quotations are used，the writer leads the reader into the quotes and then leads the reader out．This takes too much space and therefore，robs the reader out of some precious time． (40) ______ A．But the last paragraph will do the job． B．Read the first paragraph． C．Otherwise，you can stop reading． D．The first paragraph may be not important at all． E．If you follow these steps，it's possible to get about 80percent of a news piece． F．Here are three techniques you can use． G．So glide directly to the quotation marks(引号) and read what's within them． ‎ 第三部分 完形填空（本大题共20小题，每小题1.5分，共30.0分）‎ I ran into a stranger as he passed by．"I'm sorry!" was my reply．Then he said，"Excuse me too…I wasn't (41) watching for you．"We were very polite，this stranger and I．Then we went (42) our way after saying goodbye． But at (43)，a different story is told．How we treat our loved ones，young and old．Later in the kitchen，as I (44) our meal，my daughter walked up to me，very quietly．When I turned，I (45) knocked her down．"Get out of the way!"I shouted with a frown．She stepped away silently，with her ‎ little heart (46)．I didn't realize how rudely I had spoken． That night，when I lay (47) in bed，God's quiet voice spoke to me and said，"While (48) with a stranger，you are calm and polite，but with those you love，you are quick to excite…．Go look around on the kitchen floor，you'll find some flowers there by the (49)．Those are the flowers she brought for you．She (50) them herself---pink，yellow，and your favorite blue．She stood there quietly，and you never saw the (51) in her eyes．" By this time，I felt sad and small and now my own tears had begun to fall．I quietly went and knelt（跪）by her (52)："Wake up，my dear，"I said，"Are these the flowers you got for me？"She smiled．"I found them put by the tree．I (53) them in a napkin（餐巾纸），just for you．I knew you'd like them，especially the (54)．"I said，"I'm sorry that I missed them today…And I (55) have treated you that way．" And she said softly，"Mommy，that's OK…．I still love you (56)．"I hugged her and said，"I love you too and I love your flowers．" Do you know that：if you die tomorrow，the (57) you are working for could easily replace you in a matter of days？But the family you leave (58) will feel the loss for the rest of their lives．And come to think of it，we pour ourselves more into our (59) than into our families---an unwise investment（投资）indeed．" Remember that (60)=（F）ATHER---（A）ND---（M）OTHER-（I）-（L）OVE-（Y）OU．‎ ‎41 A. even B. ever C. also D. right ‎42 A. on B. in C. to D. for ‎43 A. school B. work C. office D. home ‎ ‎44 A. ate B. had C. cooked D. took ‎45 A. already B. nearly C. rudely D. hardly ‎46 A. broken B. missed C. beaten D. lost ‎47 A. asleep B. afraid C. awake D. alive ‎48 A. saying B. meeting C. going D. dealing ‎ ‎49 A. door B. kitchen C. tree D. floor ‎ ‎50 A. grew B. picked C. bought D. took ‎51 A. expressions B. tears C. smiles D. joy ‎52 A. desk B. knees C. body D. bed ‎53 A. put B. covered C. wrapped(包) D. helped ‎54 A. blue B. yellow C. pink D. black ‎55 A. needn't B. mustn't C. shouldn't D. can't ‎56 A. indeed B. besides C. anyway D. anything ‎57 A. country B. company C. place D. state ‎58 A. for B. with C. to D. behind ‎ ‎59 A. work B. loss C. meal D. stranger ‎60 A.
