One evening in early April, my mother told me to fill in at the snack bar 26 a worker who had the flu. I told her I would mess it up, 27 I had never worked at the bar before. I 28 that instead of making money, I would end up owing it. “You can do it,” said my mother, “ 29 , you wont get much business until lunch.” “But Ill never remember the orders, and Im no good 30 money. Please, Mom, dont 31 me. “Then Ill help you,” she said. I shrugged my shoulders. I thought my mothers 32 was a bad one, but I 33 . When I got to the bar the next day, I found my mother was 34 . Because the weather that day was rainy and cold, people wanted hot snacks and drinks. 35 , I was really slow at taking the orders and making change. The line of people grew, and everybody seemed 36 , I was so nervous that my hands shook, and I 37 a cup into pieces. What a mess! Then my mother came to 38 me, and she also showed me how to make 39 . If someone gave me $ 5 for something that cost $ 3.25, I handed over 40 quarters and a dollar and said, “75 cents makes four dollars, plus one dollar makes five.” Things went more 41 after that. By the end of the day, I could remember orders, 42 the bill, and make change quickly with a smile. I was even a little 43 when the sun came out and dried up business. My mother said she was proud of me, and when she 44 that I work at the snack bar again next year, I did not even shrug. I was too busy 45 the restaurant I would open one day. 26 AtoBforCafterDover 27 AbecauseBthoughCuntilDwhile 28 Apromised Bnoticed CworriedDhoped 29 A Therefore B However CBesidesDYet 30 AofBonCaboutDwith 31 AblameBfoolCfrightenDmake 32 AideaBbarCdayDanswer 33 AguessedBobeyed CbeggedDadmitted 34 AangryBsadCworryDashamed 35 AAt leastBAt lastCAt mostDAt first 36 AsurprisedB impolite CpleasedDimpatient 37 AdamagedB destroyed CbrokeDruined 38 AscoldBhelpCbeatDsave 39 AmoneyBlunchCcoffeeDchange 40 AtwoBthreeCfourDfive 41 Asmoothly BfairlyCsimplyD conveniently 42 Aturn inBcount out Ctake over Dadd up 43 A discouraged B disturbed C disappointed D distrusted 44 AthoughtBstatedC announced D suggested 45 A imagining B preparing C examining D describing 第二部分 閱讀理解（共兩節(jié)，滿(mǎn)分40分） 第1節(jié) （共15小題；每小題2分，滿(mǎn)分30分） 閱讀下列短文，從每小題后所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最 佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上將該選項(xiàng)涂黑。 A Are some people born clever and others born stupid? Or is intelligence developed by our environment and our experiences? Strangely enough, the answer to both these questions is yes. To some extent our intelligence is given us at birth, and no amount of special education can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence. On the other hand, a child who lives in a boring environment will develop his intelligence less than one who lives in rich and varied surroundings. Thus the limits of a persons intelligence are fixed at birth, but whether or not he reaches those limits will depend on his environment. This view, now held by most experts, can be supported in a number of ways. It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence. Thus if we take two unrelated people at random from the population, it is likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. If on the other hand we take two identical twins they will very likely be as intelligent as each other. Relations like brothers and sisters, parents and children, usually have similar intelligence, and this clearly suggests that intelligence depends on birth. Imagine now that we take two identical twins and put them in different environments. We might send one, for example, to a university and the other to a factory where the work is boring. We would soon find differences in intelligence developing, and this indicates that environment as well as birth plays a part. This conclusion is also suggested by the fact that people who live in close contact with each other, but who are not related at all, are likely to have similar degrees of intelligence. 46. Which of these sentences best describes the writers point in Para. 1? A. To some extent, intelligence is given at birth. B. Intelligence is developed by the environment. C. Some people are born clever and others born stupid. D. Intelligence is fixed at birth, but is developed by the environment. 47. It is suggested in this passage that_. A. unrelated people are not likely to have different intelligence B. close relations usually have similar intelligence C. the closer the blood relationship between people, the more different they are likely to be in intelligence D. people who live in close contact with each other are not likely to have similar degrees of intelligence 48. In Para. 1, the word “surroundings“ means_. A. intelligence B. life C. environments D. housing 49. The best title for this article would be_. A. On Intelligence B. What Intelligence Means C. We are born with Intelligence D. Environment Plays a Part in Developing Intelligence B When asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, cloth and cars. A true friendship carries-a-long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected. It is a treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably youll have disagreements. And the result can be what you dont want - an end to the relationship. The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. First, dont let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, apologize when youre wrong - even if youve been wronged. Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes. When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong. Third, see things from your friends point of view. And finally, accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyle change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion: Consider friendship an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture. 50What would be the best title for the text? AEasy Ways to Make Friends BUps and Downs in Friendship CHow to Mend a Troubled Friendship DHow to Take the Lead in Making Friends 51The “wronged person” underlined in the text refers to a person . Awho has been mistaken for another Bwho has been blamed unfairly Cwho has treated friends badly Dwho has admitted his mistakes 52According to the text a friendship can last long only if _ Awe have much in common Bwe know our friends mistakes Cwe treat our disagreements wisely Dwe have know one another for long C Of all systems of symbols, language is the most highly developed. It has been pointed out that human beings, by agreement, can make anything stand for anything. Human beings have agreed, in the course of centuries of mutual dependency, to let the various noises that they can produce with their lungs, throats, tongues, teeth, and lips systematically stand for certain happenings in their nervous systems. We call that system of agreements language. There is no necessary connection between the symbol and that which it stands for. Just as social positions can be symbolized by feathers worn on the head, by gold on the watch chain, or by a thousand other things according to the culture we live in, so the fact of being hungry can be symbolized by a thousand different noises according to the culture we live in. However, obvious these facts may appear at first glance, they are actually not so obvious as they seem except when we take special pains to think about the subject. Symbols and the things they stand for are independent of each other, yet we all have a way of feeling as if, and sometimes acting as if, there were necessary connections. For example, there are people who feel that foreign languages are unreasonable by nature; foreigners have such funny names for things, and why cant they call things by their right names? This feeling exhibits itself most strongly in those English and American tourists who seem to believe that they can make the natives of any country understand English if they shout loud enough. Like the little boy who is reported to have said: “Pigs are called pigs because they are such dirty animals,” they feel that the symbol is inherently(內(nèi)在地) connected in some way with the things symbolized. 53. Language is a highly developed system of symbols because human beings _. A. have made use of language for centuries B. use our nervous systems to support language C. have made various noises stand for any events D. can make anything stand for anything by agreement 54. What can we conclude from Paragraph 2? A. Different noises may mean different things. B. Our culture determines what a symbol stands for. C. The language we use symbolizes our social positions. D. Our social positions determine the way we are dressed. 55. In Paragraph 3, “take special pains” probably means “_”. A. try very hard B. take our time C. are very unhappy D. feel especially painful 56. The example of the little boy is used to show that _. A. adults often learn from their young B. “pig” is a dirty word because pigs are dirty C. words are not connected with the things they stand for D. people sometimes have wrong ideas about how language works D It often happens that a number of applicants with almost identical qualifications and experience all apply for the same position. In their educational background, special skills and work experience, there is little, if anything, to choose between half a dozen candidates. How then does the employer make a choice? There are many arguments for and against the interview as a selection procedure. The main argument against it is that it results in a wholly subjective decision. As often as not, employers do not choose best candidates, they choose the candidate who makes a good first impression on them. Some employers, of course, reply to his argument by saying that they have become so experienced in interviewing staff so that they are able to make a sound assessment of each candidates likely performance. The main argument in favor of the interview and it is, a good argument-is that an employer is concerned not only with a candidates ability, but with the suitability of his or her personality for the particular work situation. Many employers, for example, will ignore occasional mistakes from their secretary provided she has a pleasant personality, character and social ability. Unfortunately, both for the employers and applicants for jobs, there are many people of great ability who simply do not interview well. There are also, of course, people who interview extremely well, but are later found to be very unsatisfactory employees. Candidates who interview well tend to be quietly confident, but never boastful; direct and straightforward in their questions and answers; cheerful and friendly, but never over familiar; and sincerely enthusiastic and optimistic. Candidates who interview badly tend to be at either end of the range of human behavior. They are either very shy or overconfident. They show either a lack of enthusiasm or an excess of it. They either talk too little or never stop talking. They are either over-polite or rudely abrupt. 57. We can infer from the passage that an employer might tolerate his secretarys occasional mistakes, if the latter is _. A. direct B. cheerful C. shy D. capable 58. What is the authors attitude towards the interview as a selection procedure? A. Unclear B. Negative C. Objective D. Indifferent (漠不關(guān) 心的) 59. According to the passage, people argue over the interview as a selection procedure mainly because they have _. A. different selection procedures B. different purposes in the interview C. different standards for competence D. different experienced interviews 60. The purpose of the last paragraph is to indicate _. A. a link between success in interview and personality B. connections between work abilities and personality C. differences in interview experience D. differences in personal behavior 第二節(jié) 標(biāo)題匹配（共5小題，每小題2分，滿(mǎn)分10分） 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從下框的A F選項(xiàng)中選出能概括每一段主題的最佳 選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有一項(xiàng)為多余項(xiàng)。 A.

We all think we know how to relax. But calming down in front of the TV or computer isnt true relaxation. Depending on what youre watching or doing, it could even make you more tense. The same is true for alcohol, drugs, or tobacco. They may seem to relieve anxiety or stress, but its a false state of relaxation thats only temporary. What the body really needs is a relaxat
