(a

31、) farmers, as we all know, have been having a hard time of it lately, and have turned to new ways of earning income from their land. this involves not only planting new kinds of crops, but some _55_ ways of making money, the most unusual of which has got to be sheep racing. yes, you heard me _56_! a

32、 farmer now holds sheep races on a regular basis, and during the past year over 100,000 people have _57_ to watch the race. “i was passing the farm on my way to the sea for a holiday, ” one punter ( 賽馬經(jīng)紀人 ) told me , “and i thought id have a look. i didnt believe it was serious, to tell you the trut

33、h.” according to a regular visitor, betting on sheep is more interesting than betting on horses. “at proper horse races everyone has already studied the form of the horse _58_, and there are clear favourites. _59_ nobody has heard anything about these _60_! most people find it difficult to tell one

34、from another in any case. ” i stayed to watch the races, and i must admit that i found it quite _61_. in a usual sheep race, half a dozen sheep race down hill over a course of about half a mile. food is waiting for them at the other end of the _62_ just to give them some encouragement, i ought to ad

35、d! the sheep run surprisingly fast, _63_ they have probably not eaten for a while. anyway, the crowd around me were obviously enjoying their day out at the races, _64_ by their happy faces and the sense of excitement. 55. a. common b. strange c. swift d. illegal 56. a. honestly b. surprisingly c. co

36、mpletely d. correctly 57. a. showed off b. brought up c. turned up d. looked forward 58. a. behind time b. in progress c. in advance d. in time 59. a. but b. therefore c. moreover d. otherwise 60. a. horses b. sheep c. races d. stories 61. a. exciting b. dangerous c. boring d. peculiar 9 / 1762. a.

37、race b. hill c. track d. field 63. a. if b. so c. yet d. although 64. a. observing b. judging c. considering d. inferring (b) the british love to think of themselves as polite, and everyone knows how fond they are of their “pleases ” and “thank you”, even the simplest business such as buying a train

38、 ticket requires _65_ seven or eight of these. another _66_ of our good manners is the queue. new-comers to britain could be forgiven for thinking that queuing rather than football was the _67_ national sport. finally, of course, motorists generally stop at crossings. but does all this mean that the

39、 british should consider themselves more polite than their european neighbours? i think not. take forms of address ( 稱呼 ) for example. the average english person _68_ he happens to work in a hotel or department store would rather die than call a stranger “sir ” or “madam ”. yet in some european coun

40、tries this is the most basic of common address. our _69_ “you” for everyone may appear more democratic, but it means that we are forced to seek out complicated ways to express _70_. i am all for returning to the use of “thee” and “thou” (thee and thou are old-fashioned poetic words for “you”); “you”

41、 would be _71_ for strangers and professional relationships. and of course, the english find touching and other shows of friendship truly terrifying. have you noticed how the british _72_ ever touch? personally. i find the latin habit of shaking hands or a friendly kiss quite charming. try kissing t

42、he average english person, and they will either take two steps backwards in horror, or, if their escape is _73_. you will find your lips touching the back of their head. now what could be _74_ than that? 65. a. at least b. at most c. less than d. not more than 66. a. signal b. scene c. sign d. sight

43、 67. a. true b. original c. superior d. advanced 68. a. if b. whether c. when d. unless 69. a. universal b. unique c. regular d. normal 70. a. politeness b. gratitude c. democracy d. consideration 71. a. ordered b. reserved c. offered d. stocked 72. a. highly b. mostly c. hardly d. nearly 73. a. con

44、firmed b. assured c. jammed d. blocked 10 / 1774. a. better b. ruder c. more polite d. more frightening v. reading comprehension directions: read the following passages. each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. for each of them there are four choices marked a, b. c and

45、 d. choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read. (a) while reading, you may focus on the q (question) and a (answer) on the following web page. q: my husband and i would like to spend five or six days in the maldives. could you suggest some low-

46、priced hotels? well be there in november. jan davies, email. a: prices in the maldives are high. the cheaper hotels (and there arent many) mightnt be much to look at, with unpleasant rooms, iron roofs, old buildings, poor and rough vegetation and basic facilities, but they get their atmosphere from

47、cheerful customers and an untidy, free island feel. angaga (south ari atoll, phone 0011 960 450510), asdu sun island (north male atoll, email .mv ) are both a bit like this. you ll be there in the low season (may to november), when it s still warm, but there s a greater likelihood of rain, so you sh

48、ould be able to get a double (standard) room with full board (three meals a day) for $100 a night. however, pricing structures for the hotels are enormously complex for standard, superior and luxurious rooms. q: my husband and i are from australia. we are planning a four-week trip to london, dublin

49、and paris in october and we are shocked by the cost of hotels. we have searched the internet and hotel books given to us by tourist authorities but we cant find anything cheaper than $150 a night. john maloney, email. a: for australians traveling europe, especially its capital cities, is expensive.

50、you may have to increase your budget( 預算 ). however, if you cant afford these costs, then you should consider staying in hotels where the cheapest twin rooms with shared bathroom cost about $20 a person in dublin and paris and $35 in london. the minimum you would pay for a double room in a central a

51、rea is $50 a person in dublin and paris and $70 in london. these prices are for shared bathroom facilities, though you will get a wonderfully unhealthy cooked breakfast thrown in. not all hotels are equal, of course, and its a good idea to consult a guidebook with a good reputation. 75. the hotel an

52、gaga in the maldives _. 11 / 17a. attracts untidy people b. has some basic facilities c. has the best landscape d. can be contacted by email 76. if you spend your holiday in the maldives in february _. a. there is a greater likelihood of rain b. the weather will probably be better than that of the l

(b) martha had been working for miller laboratories for two years, but she was not happy there. nothing significant had happened in the way

55、of promotions or salary increases. martha felt that her supervisor, a younger and less experienced person than she, did not like her. in fact, the supervisor often said unpleasant things to her. one day, while talking with her friend maria, she mentioned how discouraged she was. maria gave her the n

56、ame of a cousin of hers who was director of human resources department for a large chemical company. martha called him the next day and set up an interview on her lunch hour. during the interview, mr. petri said, “youre just the kind of person we need here. youre being wasted in your other job. give

57、 me a call in a day or two. im sure we can find a place for you in our organization.” martha was so happy she almost danced out of the building. that afternoon, ruth kenny, her supervisor, saw that martha had come in ten minutes late from her lunch hour and she said, “oh, so you finally decided to c

58、ome back to work today?”this was the last straw. she could not take another insult. besides, mr. petri was right, she was being wasted in this job. 12 / 17“l(fā)ook, ” she said angrily, “if you dont like the way i work, i dont need to stay here. i ll go where im appreciated! good-bye! ” she took up her

59、things and stormed out of the office.that night she called maria and told her what had happened and then asked maria, “what do you think ? ”“well, ” said maria carefully, “are you sure about the other job?”“well, not exactly, but ,”maria continued, “will you be able to get a recommendation from ms.
