17、 of postal service, the history of which goes back a long way .Indeed, the Egyptians began sending letters from about 2000 BC,as did the Chinese a thousand years later. Of course, modern postal service now are much more developed and faster, depending as they do on cars and planes for delivery. Yet

18、they are still too slow for some people to send urgent documents (緊急文件)and letters. The invention of the fax (傳真) machine increased the speed of delivering documents even more.

26、irport waiting room in Singapore at he same time to wait for connecting flights.Anna, heartbroken when she arrived at Eddys Sydney flat find he had flown to London, told The Times,“It was as though someone was playing a cruel joke on us. ”“He is the most romantic person I have ever known.I think our

27、 problem is that we are both quite impulsive(沖動(dòng)的)people. We are always trying to surprise each other.”After an 11,000-mile flight across globe, she was greeted by Eddys astonished roommate asking what she was doing there.Eddy,a 27-year-old engineer had taken a year off to travel round Australia.

33、m by chance.C If youre like most students, you probably read both at home and outside your home :perhaps somewhere on your schoolyard and maybe even at work during your breaks. Your reading environment can have a great effect on your understanding, so give some thought to how you can create(營(yíng)造)or ch

34、oose the right reading environments. The right environment allows you to stay alert(專(zhuān)注的)and to keep all of your attention on the text, especially when it is both interesting and difficult. When youre at home, you can usually create effective conditions for reading.You might want to choose a particul

35、ar placea desk or table,for examplewhere you always read.Make sure the place you choose is well lighted,and sit in a chair that requires you to sit straight.Reading in a chair thats too soft and comfortable is likely to make you sleepy!Keep your active reading tools(pens,markers,notebooks or paper)

36、and a dictionary close at hand.Before you sit down for a reading period,try to reduce all possible interruptions.Turn off your phone,the television,and the radio,Tell your family members or roommates that youll be busy for a while.If necessary,put a“Do not disturb”sign on your door!The more interrup

D.Notebooks.51.What would be the best title for the text?A. How to Read FastB. Creating an Effective Reading EnvironmentC. The Ways to Reduce Possible Int

39、erruptionsD. What to Read D In many countries the standard of living enjoyed by their people has increased rapidly in recent years. Sadly, not everyone in these countries is so fortunate and many people in rich countries are homeless. The reasons for homelessness are various, but poverty（貧窮）is undou

40、btedly one of the main causes. The homeless people may have become jobless and then been unable to pay their rent and so no longer have a roof over their heads. Often, the fact that unemployed people get help from the government prevents this from happening, but not always. Some homeless people are

41、mentally ill and have no one to look after them. Some are young people who, for one reason or another , have left home and have nowhere to live. Many of them have had a serious disagreement with their parents and have left home, choosing to go to a city and live on the streets. Sometimes they have t

42、aken such action because they have been unable to get on with a step-parent. Many homeless people get into the habit of begging to get enough money to stay alive, but many of the general public refuse to give anything to beggars. Often they are moved on by the police, being accused （指控），whether righ

43、tly or wrongly, of forceful begging . There are many who disrespect homeless people. Some cynics（憤世嫉俗的人）declare that homeless people choose to live the life which they lead. But who would willingly choose to live in a shop doorway, under a bridge or in a cardboard box?52.According to the text, what

44、causes some people to be homeless? A.Lack of money. B.The increased standard of living. C.No government help. D. Agreement with their parents.53.It can be inferred from the text that_.A. the homeless are willing to live under a bridge or in a cardboard boxB. you will not find homeless people in coun

45、tries with a high standard of living C. the mentally ill live on the stress because they want the company of other homeless peopleD. the unemployed who receive help may still be among the homeless54.In paragraph 2 , “a roof over their needs ”most probably means _. A.a cap B. a car C.a home D.a cover

46、ing E Among rich countries , people in the United States work the longest hours. They work much longer than in Europe. This difference is quite surprising because productivity per hour worked is the same in the United States as it is in France, Spain and Germany, and it is growing at a similar speed

47、. In most countries and at most times in history, as people have become richer they have chosen to work less. In other words they have decided to “spend”a part of their extra income on a fuller personal life. Over the last fifty years Europeans have continued this pattern, and hours of work have fal

48、len sharply. But not in the United States. We do not fully know why this is. One reason may be more satisfying work,or less satisfying personal lives.Longer hours do of course increase the GDP (國(guó)內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值). So the United States has produced more per worker than, say,France.The United States also has mor

49、e of its people at work,while in France many more mothers and older workers have decided to stay at home.The overall result is that American GDP per head is 40% higher than in France,even though productivity per hour worked is the same.It is not clear which of the two situations is better.As we have

50、 seen, work has to be compared with other values like family life, which often get lost in interest.It is too early to explain the different trends（趨勢(shì)）in happiness over time in different countries. But it is a disappointing idea that in the United States happiness has made no progress since 1975, wh

51、ile it has risen in Europe. Could this have anything to do with trends in the work-life balance (平衡) ?56.From the text we know that the author .A.believes that longer working hours is betterB.prefers shorter working hours to longer onesC.says nothing certain about which pattern is betterD.thinks nei

52、ther of the patterns is good57.Which of the following countries has more of its people at work?A.Spain. B.France.C.Germany. D.America.58.In the last paragraph,the underlined word“which”refers to_.A.family life B.situationsC.other values D.trends59.What message can we get from the text?A.The GDP of Europe is higher than that of America.B.Two possible reasons are given for working longer hours in the US.C.Pe
