S. homes. They will attend U.S.‎ schools, meet U.S.‎ teenagers, and form impressions of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.‎ ‎ Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George’s family. In turn, George’s son Mike spent a year in Fred’s home in America.‎ ‎ Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived, but after two months’ study, the language began to come to him. The school was completely different from what he had expected-much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects instead of the six that are usual in the United States. There were almost no outside activities.‎ ‎ Family life, too, was different. The father’s word was law, and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. Also, he missed having a car.‎ ‎ “Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.”‎ ‎ At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his idea.“I suppose I should criticize American schools,”he says.“It is far too easy by our level. But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”‎ ‎8．This year teenagers will take part in the exchange programme between America and other countries. ‎ A．twenty three hundred B．thirteen hundred C．over three thousand D．less than two thousand ‎9．The whole exchange programme is mainly to .‎ ‎ A．help teenagers in other countries know the real ‎America ‎ B．let students learn something about other countries ‎ ‎ C．send students in America to travel in ‎Germany ‎ D．have teenagers learn new languages ‎10．After experiencing the Amercian school life, Mike thought .‎ ‎ A．a better education should include something good from both American and ‎Germany ‎ B．German schools trained students to be better citizens ‎ C．American schools were not as good as German schools ‎ D．the easy life in the American school was more helpful to students ‎11．The underlined word “criticize” in the last paragraph can be replaced by “ ”.‎ ‎ A．praise B. regret C. Ignore D. accuse D ‎ Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict（有瘾的人)” he jokes.“I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled.” Today David wears casual clothes—khaki pants and a sports shirt—to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “I am working harder than ever.”David says, “and I need to feel comfortable.”‎ ‎ More and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work. In the United States, the change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday（but only on Friday.This became known as “dress-down Friday” or “casual Friday”.“What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing.” said business consultant Maisly Jones.‎ ‎ Why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that it’s easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code.” “A lot of young people don’t want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so it’s hard to hire people if you have a conservative（保守的）dress code.”Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale（心境, 士气）. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative influence on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”‎ ‎12．David Smith refers to himself as having been “a clothes addict,” because .‎ ‎ A．he often wore khaki pants and a sports shirt ‎ B．he couldn’t stand a clean appearance ‎ C．he wanted his clothes to look neat all the time ‎ D．he didn’t want to spend much money on clothes ‎13．David Smith wears casual clothes now, because .‎ A．he cannot afford to buy expensive clothes B．they make him feel at ease when working ‎ C．he looks handsome in casual clothes ‎ D．he no longer works for any company ‎14．According to this passage, which of the following statements is FALSE?‎ ‎ A．Many employees don’t like a conservative dress code.‎ ‎ B．Comfortable clothes make employees more productive.‎ ‎ C．A casual clothes code is welcomed by young employees.‎ ‎ D．All the employers in the U. S.‎ are for casual office wear.‎ ‎15．According to this passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?‎ ‎ A．Company workers started to dress down about twenty years ago.‎ ‎ B．“Dress-down Friday” was first given as a favor from employers.‎ ‎ C．Dress-down has become an everyday phenomenon since the early 90s.‎ ‎ D．Many workers want to wear casual clothes to impress people.‎ 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 七选五: 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。‎ ‎ Stress can happen to anyone, anywhere at any time. It can lead to panic, sadness or inability to handle things. 16 You don’t have to let stress control you. Instead, you only need to learn to cope. Some effective ways to cope with stress are the following:‎ Break down Your Task or To-Do List ‎ The first step towards clearing stress is writing it down, so you create a to-do list. But what do you do once you get there? Breaking down your task list can help you cope with stress. Start with prioritizing（依次排序）your task list. You can decide to act on tasks that help you in the long term the most while also handling the urgent, right here right now needs of your life.‎ Schedule Breaks for Yourself ‎ ‎ 17 You need to ask yourself, “When is the best time for me to recharge and relax so I don’t let this overwhelm me?” Scheduling breaks in your day is something many of us forget to do.‎ ‎ 18 Stop what you’re doing. Think about what you still have. Rather than seeing the difficulties as against you, see what you have already done and already have. This will help you to move forward. Write a gratitude list daily. Even if you only think of three things to be grateful for, that is more than enough.‎ Find the Motivation ‎ Think of yourself as a motivated person. Research shows how people feel about themselves has a huge effect on success. 19 ‎ ‎ 20 It will always be present in our life. You can either learn to cope with it or let it ruin you.‎ A. Think it over more often B. However, it can be dealt with effectively.‎ C. Be Grateful D. It’s very important to recharge.‎ E. Stress is unavoidable.‎ F. People and circumstances can stress us out.‎ G. When you decide to be positive, you make a decision to not let the stress weigh you down.‎ II. 完形填空: （共 20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ I sat at my table, signing my name to the most difficult letter I'd ever written.
