第三部分:阅读理解(共20小题,每题2分,满分40分)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳答案,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Turning on the TV, a wonderful scene comes to your eyes—a group of men , tall , strong and handsome , and women , young , beautiful and attractive , too . Together they eat in the finest restaurants , traveling everywhere around the world by luxurious planes and pleasure ships . They are models .

Do you envy them ? What sort of life are models leading ? Is it a wonderful life for a young lady or a young man ?

A few models are well-known actors or actresses who can make a lot of money only by showing themselves off in commercials . But the majority of them are just curious to see what it is like . They’d like to be models just because they are attracted by what they imagine—models earn a lot of money and lead a glorious life . This is true for those who are very successful . However , most models find it difficult to get work . Very few can earn enough to live on , and for all models their expenses are high . Their agents claim about 20% of the earnings , and no model will get very far without a clever agent . Besides , they have to buy good clothing . They also have to pay to travel to interviews and reach the places where the work is to be done .

Interviews for a model job are known as cattle-markets in the modeling world , and not without a good reason . A top model can choose his or her work , demand and receive high fees and has his or her expenses paid . But for most models , the situation is quite different . And agent or employer inspects each model much as a farmer inspects cattle at a market . Intelligence , qualifications and personal characteristics count for little against good looks and tight figures . For all except the very few lucky ones , the life of a model is a continual search for work , trying to sell himself or herself in the face of fierce competition and , sometimes , not particularly moral standards on the part of some employers .

Immigration officials at the airport look suspiciously at a girl whose passport shows her occupation as “Model” , and these are men and women of considerable experience of the world . It comes no surprise to find that some models prefer to put “Secretary” or “Businessman” as their jobs in their passports .

Modeling is a changeable world with great rewards for a tiny minority but not for the majority .

56.For models, their good looks and tight figures are         , compared with their intelligence and qualifications .

      A.more important                                  B.less needed        

       C.less essential                                       D.more looked down upon

57.Which of the following can lead you to believe according to the passage ?

       A.A model’s traveling expenses are usually paid by his employer .

       B.To be a model , good looks are the most important qualification .

       C.Most models have a fairly easy way of life with high pay .

       D.A model can hardly be successful without a good agent .

58.Models often put “Secretary” or “Businessman” instead of “Model” in their passports because

            .

       A.they want to avoid being stopped to sign their names by fans

       B.a person with the occupation of a model is easily attacked by black societies

       C.models are sometimes looked down upon

       D.secretaries and businessmen are free of custom duty

59.What may be the author’s attitude towards modeling ?

      A.It’s a worthwhile life for a young lady or a young man .

       B.He is in favor of young people to try modeling .

       C.Before being crazy about a model job , young people should be aware of the difficulties .

       D.It is a field in which everyone has a great chance to succeed .

60.The underlined word “suspiciously” can most probably be replaced by         .

       A.doubtfully           B.excitedly             C.proudly               D.sadly

 

B

The first time my eyes were opened to children’s rights was when I was 15.A representative of Free the Children gave a speech at my school, sharing this story I will never forget. Craig Kielburger was l2 when he came across an article about a boy of his age who escaped from child labor and was murdered for speaking about his experiences.Craig was upset and took the article to school. He asked who would help him and with a group of friends, started Free the Children.

Craig traveled to countries where he saw child laborers and poverty firsthand. He also started giving speeches to people three times his age.He was even nominated(提名)for a Nobel Peace Prize and received the Nelson Mandela Human Rights Award.His organization has already helped over a million children.

I could not believe a kid three years younger than me had accomplished so much. His story motivated everyone who heard it to do something about the problems of the world.

That first burst of awareness faded, but a year later an organization at my school announced a meeting about social justice. Mare Kielburger, he elder brother of Free the Children’s founder, came to my school to speak and for the second time I heard the story of how Craig started the organization, but this time from a person who had been there since the beginning. Mare described his visits to underdeveloped countries and the influence on his life.telling us how he met a group of street kids in the poor areas of Bangkok. Because none could remember their birthdays. they saved money all year and had one birthday party for all of them.

Mare was an amazing speaker.He told us how we could make a difference.I was completely attracted.

Free the Children had set up campaigns that help children get education, medical care and food. When our advisor, Ms. Spotswood, asked if we would like to get involved, We responded with a unanimous yes.

Our group set to work realizing our goal of helping build a school by raising$6,000. It was an great challenge, but if other children had done it, so could we.We made a float for our town’s Santa Claus parade where we collected over $200. For our next project we asked our fellow Catholic school students to donate five dollars during Lent(大斋戒期).

    I had been volunteering as a tutor at a grade school.but quit because I hadn’t found it interesting. After Marc Kielburger spoke, I began to volunteer again. It’s tough sometimes when the children don’t cooperate. but I think about all those children who can’t get an education and realize it’s all worth it.

    Every child should get an education and Free the Children has helped me understand that. Devoted to the rights of children, it has also helped me see that I can do something to help other children. I have the power to change the world and I’m going to use it. I think when the students at our school see what their money has done.they will realize they can make a difference, too.

Communications technologies are far from equal when it comes to conveying the truth. The first study to compare honesty across a range of communications media has found that people are twice as likely to tell lies in phone conversations as they are in emails. The fact that emails are automatically recorded—and can come back to haunt(困扰)you—appears to be the key to the finding.

Jeff Hancock of Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, asked 30 students to keep a communications diary for a week. In it they noted the number of conversations or email exchanges they had lasting more than 10 minutes, and confessed to how many lies they told. Hancock then worked out the number of lies per conversation for each medium. He found that lies made up 14 per cent of emails, 21 per cent of instant messages, 27 per cent of face-to-face interactions and an astonishing 37 per cent of per cent of phone calls.

His results, to be presented at the conference on human-computer interaction in Vienna, Austria, in April, have surprised psychologists. Some expected e-mailers to be the biggest liars, reasoning that because deception makes people uncomfortable, the detachment (非直接接触)of emailing would make it easier to lie. Others expected people to lie more in face-to-face exchanges because we are most practiced at that form of communication.

But Hancock says it is also important whether a conversation is being recorded and could be reread ,and whether it occurs in real time. People appear to be afraid to lie when they know the communication could later be used to hold them to account, he says. This is why fewer lies appear in email than on the phone.

People are also more likely to lie in real time —in an instant message or phone call, say —than if they have time to think of a response, says Hancock. He found many lies are spontaneous(脱口而出)responses to an unexpected demand, such as :”Do you like my dress?”

Hancock hopes his research will help companies work out the best ways for their employees to communicate. For instance, the phone might be the best medium for sales where employees are encouraged to stretch the truth. But given his result, work assessment where honesty is the first, might be best done using email.

71.Hancock’s study focuses on        .

A.the consequences of lying in various communications media

B.the success of communications technologies in expressing ideas

C.why people are less likely to lie in instant messages

D.people’s honesty levels across a range of communications media

72.Which of the following diagrams best shows Hancock’s finding?

                              

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

73.Hancock’s research finding surprised those who believed that       .

A.people are less likely to lie in instant messages

B.people are unlikely to lie in face-to-face interactions

C.people are most likely to lie in email communication

D.People are twice as likely to lie in phone conversations

A.salesmen can talk directly to their customers

B.salesmen are easier to sing higher praise for their products

C.salesmen can impress customers as being trustworthy

D.salesmen may pass on instant messages effectively

75.It can be inferred from the passage that         .

A.honesty should be encouraged in interpersonal communications

B.more employers will use emails to communicate with their employees

C.suitable media should be chosen for different communication purposes

D.email is now the dominant medium of communication within a company

第四部分:书面表达(共两节,满分45分)

第一节  阅读表达(共5小题;每小题3分,满分15分)

阅读下面短文,并根据要求完成文章后的题目。

Fear and its companion pain are two of the most useful things that men and animals possess, if they are properly used. If fire did not hurt when it burnt, children would play it until their hands were burnt away. Similarly, if pain existed but fear did not, a child would burn itself again and again, because fear would not warn it to keep away from the fire that had burn it before. A really fearless soldier – and some do exist – is not a good soldier because he is soon killed; and a dead soldier is of no use to his army. Fear and pain are therefore two guards without which men and animals might die out.

In our first sentence we suggested that fear ought to be properly used. If, for example, you never go out of your house because of the danger of being knocked down and killed in the street by a car, you are letting fear rule you too much. Even in your house you are not absolutely safe:an airplane may crash on your house, or ants may eat away some of the beams in your roof so that the latter falls on you, or you may get cancer!

The important thing is not to let fear rule you, but instead to use fear as your servant and guide. Fear will warn you of dangers; then you have to decide what action to take.

In many cases, you can take quick and successful action to avoid the danger. For example, you see a car coming straight towards you; fear warns you, you jump out of the way, and all is well.

In some cases, however, you decide that         to avoid the danger. For example, you cannot prevent an airplane crashing onto your house. In this case, fear has given you its warning; you have examined it and decided on your course, of action, so fear of this particular danger is no longer of any use to you, and you have to try to overcome it.

76.What is the best title of the passage? ( Please answer within 10 words. )

                                                                        

77.Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?

In fact, danger is not always occurring outside.

sentence. ( Please answer within 10 words. )

Good evening . You are listening to Pop World of BBC International. I’m Susan Welch .

Well , first , I would like to say a few words to my dear listeners who are not very familiar with this program .

Since many people want to listen to and understand pop songs , radio producers at BBC International have made hundreds of programs over the years . We have a vast library of “golden old songs” classics , as well as the “latest pop songs”.

For those of you who like a bit of background with our favorite music , there’s The History of Pop or The Road to Music . These two series bring you the language of pop music and information about the periods and the artists . If you want to hear from the artists themselves s, there’s a new series called About the Big Hits . It is based on interviews with popular singers and songwriters . They talk to us about he meanings and ideas behind their songs .

If you want to understand the words to the big music hits , Pop World is the program for you . After all it’s hard enough for native English speakers to understand most pop songs . So, if English isn’t your first language , you shouldn’t be surprised if the words of many songs leave you in the dark .

Possible version (正方 )

In my opinion, advertisements are very important in our daily life as they can provide us with worthy information. With advertisements, people get a lot more information on goods, services, employment and even marriage. You can find a job, buy or sell a house by means of advertising on TV, radios or newspapers. It can also save us a lot of time and bring us much convenience as well.

Without advertisements, newspapers commercial radios and television companies can hardly survive.

It is obvious that modern advertisements have added bright colors to our daily life .And children even learn to use some humorous expressions from them.

 

Possible version (反方 )

   I think advertisements play a negative role in our life. Fake advertising is simply misleading and cheating consumers. Advertisements are filled with flowery phrases and empty promises. They are not based on the real quality of the newly-produced goods, but on the principle that one keeps talking about the same thing long enough.

Besides, watchers don’t like the way when television programmes on a hot show are interrupted by some tiresome advertisements at a high frequency.

Worse still, consumers have to pay more for the goods owing to the advertising expenses.
