Enter the Red Hat Society a group holding the belief that old ladies should have fun. “My grandmothers didnt do

17、anything but keep house and serve everybody. They were programmed to do that,” said Emily Cornette, head of a chapter of the 7-year-old Red Hat Society. While men have long spent their time fishing and playing golf, women have sometimes seemed to become unnoticed as they age. But the generation now

18、turning 50 is the baby boomers(生育高峰期出生的人), and the same people who refused their parents way of being young are now trying a new way of growing old.If you take into consideration feminism(女權(quán)主義), a bit of spare money, and better health for most elderly, the Red Hat Society looks almost inevitable(必然的

19、). In this society, women over 50 wear red hats and purple(紫色的) clothes, while the women under 50 wear pink hats and light purple clothing.“The organization took the idea from a poem by Jenny Joseph that begins: “When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple with a red hat, which doesnt go.” said Elle

20、n Cooper, who founded the Red Hat Society in 1998. When the ladies started to wear the red hats, they attracted lots of attention.“The point of this is that we need a rest from always doing something for someone else,” Cooper said. “Women feel so ashamed and sorry when they do something for themselv

21、es.” This is why chapters are discouraged from raising money or doing anything useful. “Were a ladies play group. It couldnt be more simple,” added Coopers assistant Joe Heywood.36The underlined word “chapter” in paragraph 2 means _.Aone branch of an organization Ba written agreement of a clubCone p

22、art of a collection of poems Da period in a societys history37 From the text , we know that the “baby boomers” are a group of people who _. Ahave gradually become more noticeable Bare worried about getting old too quickly Care enjoying a good life with plenty of money to spend Dtried living a differ

23、ent life from their parents when they were young 38 It could be inferred from the text that members of the Red Hat Society are _. Ainterested in raising money for social workBprogrammers who can plan well for their future Cbelievers in equality between men and women Dgood at cooking big meals and ta

24、king care of others 39Who set up the Red Hat Society ?AEmily Cornette . BEllen Cooper . CJenny Joseph . DJoe Heywood.40Women join the Red Hat Society because .Athey want to stay young Bthey would like to appear more attractive Cthey would like to have fun and live for themselves Dthey want to be mor

25、e like their parents BWugging, or web use giving, describes the act of giving to charity at no cost to the user. By using E, which is being added to a number of university computers across the UK, students can raise money every time they search, but it wont cost them a penny.Research shows that stud

26、ents are extremely passionate about supporting charity 88% of full time students have used the Internet to give to charity. This age group is often the least likely to have their own income. 19% of 22 to 24 year olds have short-term debts of more than £5,000. With rising personal debt levels in

27、 this age group, due to university tuition fees or personal loans and a lack of long-term savings, traditional methods of donating to charity are often not appealing (有感染力的) or possible. Beth Truman, a 21-year-old recent university graduate, has used E to donate to her chosen charity, the RSPCA, for

28、 two years and has seen the “wugging” movement grow in popularity with students. “When youre at university you become more socially aware, but its sometimes hard to give to others when you have little money yourself,” says Beth，“Wugging is great for people in this age group as it allows them to use

29、the technology on a daily basis to give to charity, without costing them a single penny.”Wugging is perfect for people who want to be more socially aware and supportive but dont feel they have the means to do so. Students using the web can raise money for causes they care about without costing them

30、anything in terms of time or money, and charities get a valuable source of funding. E works like any other search engine, allowing users to search for information, news and images but users can decide which of the UKs 170,000 charities they would like to support through their clicks. E then makes mo

31、nthly payments to every registered charity. Launched in June 2005, E is now the eighth largest search engine and one of the busiest charity websites in the UK. 41. According to the passage, “wugging” is actually _. A. a website B. a charity-related action C. a school organization D. a student moveme

32、nt 42. In the case of charity, E _. A. frees students of the financial worries B. receives much money from students C. offers valuable information to students D. praises students for their money-raising 43. What does Beth Truman think of the “wugging” movement? A. It makes E popular in the UK. B. It

33、 becomes easy to do charity because of it. C. It results in students more social awareness. D. It helps students to save money. 44. From the passage, we can conclude that _. A. most full time students do charity on the Internet every day B. E helps students pay for the college education C. “wugging”

34、 is a win-win idea for both students and charities D. E is the most successful search engine in the UK45. What would be the best title for this passage? A. “Wugging”, a new popular term on the Internet. B. British people show strong interest in charity. C. More Britain charities benefit from the Int

35、ernet. D. Students raise money for charity by “wugging”. CThe girl looking for the job turned out to be excellent but she ended up giving her employer a headache when it also turned out that she used an unreal diploma (文憑).In December, a Civil Administration Bureau in the city of Wuhan, HubeiProvinc

36、e, announced that it needed five new staff members. Some 120 people applied and took the exam. Applicants were required to show proof of a college degree at least.Mei Jing beat everyone, in the test and the interview. When a follow-up check was done, however, her education certificate was discovered

37、 to be an unreal one.This was a bit of an embarrassment for the employers. A dilemma, one might say. If she were hired because of her excellent performance, she still wouldnt have the qualifications on paper. But, if she were dropped because she didnt meet the education requirements, they would lose

38、 a good worker. Tough problem.While Meis future hangs in the balance, the public having learned of the case, got involved.Some people said the bureau should employ her, since results are the only important thing. “After all, ability is more important than a diploma,” said one office worker.Others, h

39、owever, have attacked Meis dishonesty. They said that morality (道德) was, after all, more important than talent, especially in the case of a government position. Mei wasnt honest, so she shouldnt be hired. Case closed.But, Shen Ronghua, the head of the Shanghai Public Administration and Human resourc

40、es Institute, tries to be a bit more philosophical.“There is still a sort of diploma means this prejudice (偏見)among people,” Shen explains, “Many employers regard a diploma as the only sign of ability and talent.”So, with this in mind, people may pay little attention to whether someone has real abil

41、ity or not. They turn to chasing a diploma instead. The unreal diploma is the natural product of this thought.The conclusion? “China needs a new human resource system. The new system will not define a person only by his or her diploma,” Shen says.46. Whats the meaning of the underlined word “dilemma

42、” in Paragraph Four? A. A problem easy to deal with or solve.B. A situation in which it is difficult for you to make the decision.C. A difference in two or more statements, ideas, or stories.D. Something said or done that is funny.47. What can we infer from this news report?A. The Civil Administrati

43、on Bureau of Wuhan employed the girl.B. The girl was not employed because of dishonesty.C. It remained to be seen whether the girl was to be employed or not.D. Another Human Resource Institute employed the girl.48. What does Shen Ronghua mean by saying “diploma means this”?A. A diploma can tell whet

44、her a person is honest or not.B. A diploma is the only sign of ability and talent.C. A diploma is what you get after you finish a course.D. A diploma means a job.49. Which statement is NOT true according to the news report?A. It seemed that the reporter agrees with Shen Ronghuas opinion.B. If you wa

45、nt to get the job , you have to meet a certain education requirement.C. Most people held the view that morality was the most important thing.D. One official said that something should be done to change the human resource system.50. Which of the following do you think is the best title of this news r

46、eport?A. A Girls Unlucky Experience B. Unreal DiplomaC. Dishonesty Has Been Attacked D. Can A Diploma Be AllD In a few years, you might be able to speak Chinese, Korean, Japanese, French, and English and all at the same time. This sounds incredible, but Alex Waibel, a computer science professor at U

47、S's Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and Germany's University of Karlsruhe, announced last week that it may soon be reality. He and his team have invented software and hardware that could make it far easier for people who speak different languages to understand each other. One application, c

48、alled Lecture Translation, can easily translate a speech from one language into another. Current translation technologies typically limit speakers to certain topics or a limited vocabulary. Users also have to be trained how to use the programme. Another prototype(雛形機) can send translations of a spee

49、ch to different listeners depending on what language they speak. “It is like having a simultaneous translator right next to you but without disturbing the person next to you,” Waibel said. Prefer to read? So-called Translation Glasses transcribe(轉(zhuǎn)錄)the translations on a tiny liquid-crystal(液晶) displ

50、ay(LCD) screen. Then theres the Muscle Translator. Electrodes capture (捕獲) the electrical signals from facial muscle movements made naturally when a person is mouthing words. The signals are then translated into speech. The electrodes could be replaced with wireless chips （芯片） implanted （植入）in a per

51、son's face, according to researchers. During a demonstration held last Thursday in CMU's Pittsburgh campus, a Chinese student named Stan Jou had 11 tiny electrodes attached to the muscles of his cheeks, neck and throat. Then he mouthed without speaking aloud a few words in Mandarin(普通話) to t

52、he audience. A few seconds later, the phrase was displayed on a computer screen and spoken out by the computer in English and Spanish: “Let me introduce our new prototype.” This particular gadget(器械),when fully developed, might allow anyone to speak in any number of languages or, as Waibel put it, “

53、to switch your mouth to a foreign language”. “The idea behind the university's prototypes is to create good enough bridges for cross-cultural exchanges that are becoming more common in the world,” Waibel said. With spontaneous(自發(fā)的) translators, foreign drivers in Germany could listen to traffic

54、warnings on the radio, tourists in China could read all the signs and talk with local people, and leaders of different countries could have secret talks without any interpreters there.51. Which of the following statements is not TRUE?A. A Lecture Translation can translate what you said into other la

55、nguages easily.B. There is no Muscle Translator in the world now.C. Muscle Translators can translate what you think into speech if you just move your mouth.D. The spontaneous translators will help us a lot.52. What kind of equipment is NOT mentioned in this passage?A. Lecture Translation. B. Muscle Translator.C. Multiple Translator. D. Translation Prototype.53. Whats the final destination of inventing the language translators?A. To make c
