high-class benz with a fare of two us dollars a kilometer. you can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. the driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.the dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. the most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. with such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.the finnish workers are paid by the hour. they are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate(價(jià)錢). from then on, they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly(相應(yīng)地).with so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”. but the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. and workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. as the finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.in a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others?25. while taking a taxi in finland, _.a. a passenger can go anywhere without having to pay the driverb. a passenger pays two us dollars for a taxi ridec. a passenger can never be turned down by the taxi driver wherever he wants to god. a passenger needs to provide good faith demonstration(證明) before leaving without paying26. we know from the passage that big hotels in finland _.a. are mostly poorly managedb. provide meals for any dinersc. provide free wine and charge for foodd. provide meal for only those who live in the hotels27. which of the following is not true according to the passage?a. the workers in finland are paid by the hour.b. the workers are always honest with their working hours.c. the workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay.d. the bosses in finland are too busy to check the working hours of their employees.28. the word “those” in the last but one paragraph probably refers to _.a. people who are dishonestb. people who often have meals in big hotelsc. people who often take taxisd. people who are worthy of trustchow to improve our life? many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. theyll say, “this is my destiny(命運(yùn)). i cannot change it.”of course not! you dont have to suffer needlessly. your life depends on you, not on other factors.i know a woman who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. guess what her lifestyle is? she wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches tv, and then goes to sleep. next day, the same routine cycle follows. huh! is this what she calls “doing her best”? she believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that has been intended for her and that her luck can only change if god wills it. she hasnt realized that we have to do our share of making the effort to live the life of our dreams. remember that you harvest what you sow. you have to get off the sofa, get your eyes off the tv screen, get your hands off the phone (unless its helpful to your success), and get your mind and body to work! dont expect your luck to change, unless you do something about it. if something goes wrong, dont just regard it as a temporary(暫時(shí)的) problem; instead, learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. its not enough to think positively; you also have to act positively. if someones life is in trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? of course not! you get to do anything you can to save the person. so it is with your own life. it is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. in other words, dont just stand (or sit) there, do something to improve your life.29. according to the woman mentioned in para.3, her life_.a. doesnt need improvingb. couldnt be improvedc. will be better some dayd. will be worse in the future30. what does the author think of the womans life?a. positive.b. passive.c. disturbing.d. colorful.31. in para.5, the author emphasized the importance of _.a. positive actionb. positive thinkingc. hope for the bestd. intention to succeed32. the text is mainly written to advise you to _.a. understand yourselfb. believe in yourselfc. improve your lifed. change your normal waydyasuda is 95 years old. looking for easier ways to search the web and send email, he bought apples ipad. the company has sold 3.27 million ipads since they entered the market in april. although its impossible to know with certainty how many seniors (老年人) are buying them, evidence suggests that its a hit with seniors.the ipads intuitive interface (直觀界面) makes it attractive to seniors around the world, says takahiro miura, a researcher at the university of tokyo. “the ipad is a good tool for seniors because its very easy to use,” he says. “unlike the pc, it doesnt require former knowledge.”james cordwell, a researcher in london, says the ipads popularity with seniors is helping apple reach beyond its traditional base of young customers. “the worlds population, especially in developed markets, is getting older. its probably a market where apple has least entered,” cordwell says. senior users are “a key source of growth for them in the future.”seniors make up about 22 percent of the population in japan. they may prove that seniors are willing to accept the ipad. besides the customer group under 30, they spend more than any other group in the country, according to a report. motoo kitamura, 78, a former gas salesman, bought an ipad to help him communicate with his 2-year-old grandson and prevent him from experiencing some of the mental problems that sometimes come with getting older. “trying new things like that is good mental exercise,” he says.33. which of the following is not an advantage of the ipad?a. it has intuitive interface. b. it is easy to operate.c. beginners can use it without similar experiences. d. people can use it as a way to do mental exercise.34. what can we learn from the text?a. people above thirty are apples largest customer group in japan.b. the traditional customers of apples products are usually the young.c. seniors will soon grow into apples largest customer group.d. seniors in japan are fond of buying latest hi-tech products.35. what is the text mainly about?a. ipad leading apple to seniors. b. ipad influencing the customer group.c. ipads arrival causing japanese to think. d. ipad beating the traditional pc.第二節(jié)（共5小題；每小題2.5分，滿分12.5分）根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的七個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有兩項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。a good book can be satisfying. if reading is a habit youd like to get into,

painting at a time when art was changing. a long time ago, artists tried to make their 63 (paint) look real like photographs. but later on, art became more about the artists own ideas. if you see 64 van gogh, it wont look like the real world.
