“God made the world, but the Dutch made Holland.” True to this saying, the people of the Netherlands are again “making” their land.About 1980 the Netherlands will complete a project begun in the 1920’s: transforming the Zyuder Zee, an inlet(小港)of the North Sea into dry land and a freshwater lake.By stages, 550,000 acres of land will serve several purposes: industrial, recreational, military, and agricultural.Fed by the river Yssel, the remaining water basin Lake Yssel, about 300,000 acres will irrigate the surrounding land and help in the fight against salination(盐化作用).Excess water will drain through sluices into the sea.As the first stop a nineteen-mile-long barrier dam, rising twenty-five feet above sea level, closed the entrance to the Zuider Zee.Then the experimental polder of a hundred acres preceded the first and smallest of the main polders fifty thousand acres that became dry land in 1930.The fifth and largest polder 150,000 acres will be the last of the Zuider Zee works.Farmers for the new polder(开拓地)come from every province.The Eastern Flevoland polder, completed in 1957, became farmland for many from the province of Zealand which was badly hit by the disastrous floods of 1953.31.This article gives a present-day example of how__________.A.salty soils are desalinated B.the Netherlands has increased its land area C.irrigation systems are built D.dams are constructed

32.The period taken for the Zuider Zee project is__________.A.from 1900 up to 1960 B.from the 1920 till about 1980 C.from 1930 to 1957 D.less than fifty years

34.The article gives a measurement for the__________.A.height of the barrier dam B.width of the barrier dam

C.width of the road along the dam D.height above sea level of the area on the land side of dam

35.Implied but not stated:

A.The first step in the project was a barrier dam.B.The polder recipe was first used in this century.C.Half of the Netherlands is below sea level.D.There is more than one method of fighting salination.D B C D A During the Christmas shopping rush in London, the intriguing story was reported of a tramp(流浪汉)who, apparently through no fault of his own, found himself locked in a well-known chain store late on Christmas Eve.No doubt the store was crowded with last minute Christmas shoppers and the staff were dead beat and longing to get home.Presumably all the proper Security checks were made before the store was locked and they left to enjoy the three-day holiday untroubled by customers desperate to get last minute Christmas presents

However that may be, our tramp found himself alone in the store and decided to make the best of it.There was food, drink, bedding and camping equipment, of which he made good use.There must also have been television sets and radios Though it was not reported if he took advantage of these facilities, when the shop re-opened, he was discovered in bed with a large number of empty bottles beside him.He seems to have been a man of good humor and philosophic temperament---as indeed vagrants(流浪汉)very commonly arc.Everyone also was enjoying Christmas, so he saw no good reason why he should not do the same.He submitted, cheerfully enough, to being taken way by the police.Perhaps he had bad a better Christmas than usual.He was sent to prison for Seven days.The judge awarded no compensation to the chain store for the food and drink our tramp had consumed.They had, in his opinion, already received valuable free publicity from the coverage the story received in the newspapers and on television.Perhaps the judge had had a good Christmas too.1.The tramp was locked in the store____

A.for his mistakes.B.due to a misunderstanding.C.by accident.D.through an error of judgment.2.The staff were 'dead beat' means they were _____

A.half asleep.B.exhausted.C.irritable.D.forgetful.3.What action did the tramp take? He_____ A.looted the store.B.made himself at home.C.went to sleep for 2 days.D.had a Christmas party.4.When the tramp was arrested, he _____

A.laughed at the police.B.looked forward to going to pr)son.C.rook his bottles with him.D.didn't make any fuss.5.Why didn't the judge award compensation to the chain store? A.The tramp had stolen nothing of value.B.The store had profited by the incident.C.The tramp deserved a happy Christmas.D.The store was responsible for what happened.1.C(apparently through no fault of his own)第一段中找答案

2.B（No doubt the store was crowded with last minute Christmas shoppers and the staff were dead beat and longing to get home.）

3.B

4.D（He submitted, cheerfully enough, to being taken way by the police.）

5.B（They had, in his opinion, already received valuable free publicity from the coverage the story received in the newspapers and on television.）

No one is glad to hear that his body has to be cut open by a surgeon（外科医生）and part of it taken out．Today，however，we needn't worry about feeling pain during the operation．The sick person falls into a kind of sleep，and when he awakes，the operation is finished．But these happy conditions are fairly new．It is not many years since a man who had to have operation felt all its pain．

Long ago，operation had usually to be done while the sick man could feel everything．The sick man had to be held down on a table by force while the doctors did their best for him.He could feel all the pain if his leg or arm was being cut off，and his fearful cries filled the room and the hearts of those who watched．

Soon after 1770, Josept Priestley discovered a gas which is now called “laughing gas”．Laughing gas became known in America．Young men and women went to parties to try it． Most of them spent their time laughing，but one man at a party，Horace Wells，noticed that people didn't seem to feel pain when they were using this gas．He decided to make an experiment on himself．He asked a friend to help him．

Wells took some of the gas，and his friend pulled out one of Well’s teeth． Wells felt no pain at all．

As he didn't know enough about laughing gas，he gave a man less gas than he should have．The man cried out with pain when his tooth was being pulled out．

Wells tried again，but this time he gave too much of the gas，and the man died．Wells never forgot this terrible event．

The work of scribes was not easy.Much of it had to be done fast in order to meet the needs of the King.the church and traders.Most of the writing was in Latin(拉丁),but some of it was in the English of the day.And no one was quite sure how some English words should be spelled.One problem was that several letters were written with short vertical strok（竖笔）that all looked like each other.Among them were the letters , i, u, v, m and n, Thus.five straight lines in a row might stand for uni nui uvi or mii.As a result.reading was sometimes difficult, especially when the writing was done in a hurry.The scribes solved(解决)the problem in part, by changing the letter u to o when it came before m.n or v.This is how sum and cum came lo be written as some and come.At some point, too, the scribes seemed to have decided that no English word should be ended by u or v.Thus, in time an e was added to such words as live, have, due and true.It was added, but not pronounced.36.Which of the following is true according to the passage? A.Everything has been written by hand in English since 1476.B.More than 500 years ago no people made a living by writing for other people.C.The church set up schools to train scribes before 1476.D.Scribes in England worked only for kings and traders.37.Which of the following is false?

A.Often the scribes had to work with great speed.B.The spelling of some English words was changed.D.Some scribes of the day were quite sure about the spelling of many English words.38.Sometimes people couldn’t read easily_____________.A.because there were too many u’s and v’s in sonic English words B.because most of the writing was in Latin C.when the writing was in English D.When tile writing was done hurriedly 39.The scribes changed u before m to o because A.the change helped them write faster B.the change made reading easier C.um and om had the same pronunciation D.om was the right order 40.It is believed that some scribes thought

A.it important to add an e to every English word B.the letter e at the end of any word shouldn't be pronounced C.it natural to change the spelling of sonic Latin words D.an English word should be ended neither by n nor by v I Man's First real inventions, and one of the most important inventions in history, was the wheel.All transportation and machine in the world depend on it.The wheel is the simplest yet but perhaps the most remarkable(值得注意的)of all inventions.Because there are no wheels in nature—no living thing was ever created with wheels.How, then, did man come to invent the wheel? Perhaps some early hunters found that they could roll the carcass(尸体)of a heavy animal through the forest on log more easily than they could carry it.However, the logs themselves weighed a lot.It must have taken a great prehistoric(史前的)thinker to imagine two thin slices(薄片)of log connected at their centers by a strong stick, this would roll along just as the logs did and axle came into being, and with them the first carts.41.The wheel is important because _______.it was man’s first real invention B.all transportation depends on it C.every machine depends on it D.both B and C 42.The wheel is called _______.A.simple B.complicated

That way work would be both painless and fun.Or, so we imagine.Well, in fact it isn’t quite as simple as that.Yes, it is true that being the boss has its satisfactions and that you can arrange your working hours freely if you own your own small business.But in those early years of starting your own business, you shouldn’t think of a free day, not to mention flying off for a month’s vacation.It is not unusual for new business owners to work seventy or eighty hours a week, and if there is a day off, that day might need to be devoted to accounting.But this negative picture doesn’t destroy the beautiful hopes.The possibility of getting something wonderful in return---both material and mental---continues to drive that large number of people who start up small businesses each year in the United States.52.From the first paragraph, we know that everybody hopes _____.A.to rule others B.to be his or her own boss C.to get a time work D.to be free from work 53.Most new business owners have to _______.A.work more than 10 hours a day B.devote himself to accounting C.fly to some places in the world D.have a day off in a week 54.The expression “negative picture” most probably means “_____________”.A.a terrible experience B.a poor picture C.limited freedom D.unpleasant situations 55.The beautiful hopes will never be destroyed because _____.A.people love beautiful things by nature B.people have a strong desire to seek personal gains C.small businesses make big money each year in the US D.small businesses have advantages over big companies M Giving backing Fair Way The Westborough High School golf team had taken the official photos with the state prize.The other teams, disappointed, were on the bus heading home.And then Westborough instructor Greg Rota noticed something wrong on one of the score cards.A 9 had been recorded as a 7.They were not the state prize winner;Wobum High had won.“No one would have known,” said Wobum’s instructor, Bob Doran.For Rota, it wasn’t difficult decision: “The prize wasn’t ours to take.” Coin Stars “College students are lazy, but they also want to help,” says University of Pennsylvania graduate Dana Hork.So she made it easy, placing cups in rooms where students could leave their spare coins, and handing out cups to first-year students to keep in their rooms.Her “Change for Change” effort has collected $40, 000 for charities(慈善机构), which were decided upon by students.Never Forgotten A school in Massachusetts received a $9.5 million check from Jacques LeBermuth.But it took officials several days of digging to discover his connection to the school.Records showed the on hard times, he was offered free room and board.LeBermuth became a trader, owned shares of AT&T and lived off the earnings until he died, at age 89.56.What did Greg Rota probably do in the end? A.Took photos of Doran B.Had meeting with Doran C.Returned the prize to the organizer D.Apologized to Wobum High school 57.Greg Rota’s decision shows that he was ______.A.honest B.polite C.careful D.friendly 58.The underlined word “change” in the second paragraph means _______.A.Idea B.Decision C.Cups D.Coins 59 What did the school officials do after receiving the check from Mr.LeBermuth? A.They tried to find out why he gave them the money.B.They went to Belgium to pay their respects to him.C.They dug out the records that were buried underground.D.They decided to offer their students free room and board.60.Jacques LeBermuth gave the money to the school because __________.A.the school asked for it B.He had no need for that much money C.the school had helped him in the past D.He wanted to be remembered by the students

68.Which of the following pictures shows the right positions of Canada and Mexico?(C== Canada M —Mexico)keys: BACDD P In the United States, it is not usual to telephone someone early in the morning.If you telephone early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention.So it is with the telephone calls made after 11:00 pm.If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he may think that it’s a matter of life and death.The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.In social life, time plays a very important part.In the USA guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party reaches them only three or four days before the party date.But it is not true in all countries.In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten.The meaning of time is not the same in different cultures that treat time differently;being on time is valued highly in American life, for example.If people are not on time, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible.In the USA no one would think of keeping a business friend for an hour;it would be too impolite.A person who is 5 minutes late is expected to make a shout apology.It he is less than 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.69．A call at midnight would mean_________.A.the matter is less important B.the matter is too difficult to handle C.the matter requires immediate attention D.it is a matter of life and death 70．According to the passage, time plays a very important part in_______.A.everyday life B.private life C.getting along with others D.business 71．In the passage, the author suggests that invitation cards should be sent________.A.three or four days before the party date in all cultures B.three or four days before the party date in some cultures C.three or four days before the party date in the USA D.at your chosen time Keys: DCB Q Napoleon agreed to plans for a tunnel(隧道)under the English Channel in 1802.The British began digging one in 1880.Neither tunnel was completed.Europe has had to wait until the end of the 20th century for the Channel Tunnel.After nearly two centuries of dreaming, the island of Great Britain is connected to Continental Europe for the first time since the Ice Age, when the two land masses moved apart.On May 6, 1994, Britain's Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ and France's President Mitterrand carried out the official opening.The Queen was accompanied(陪同)on her train journey through the historic tunnel by one of her Rolls-Royce cars which was placed on the train.The following day saw celebrations taking place in Folkestone and Calais.Regular public services did not start until the latter part of 1994.72．Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ________ at the opening.A．took her car Rolls-Royce through the tunnel B．took her car which was placed on her train through the tunnel C．took her train through the tunnel D．took Mitterrand's train through the tunnel 73．The island of Great Britain is ________.A．connected to France all the time B．separated from France with a tunnel C．separated from France all the time D．joined to France with the tunnel 74．Which of the following is right? A．Napoleon made plans for the tunnel.B．The public could pass through the tunnel by train after May 6, 1994.C．The tunnel was built for two centuries.D．The tunnel will do great good to Britain and France.75．Before 1994, one could go to Britain from France ________.A．only by ship B．by ship or plane C．by car or train D．by ship, car or train keys: DCBD R About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way.Women are luckier, only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter.Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!There are different forms of color blindness.In some cases a man can not see deep red.He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green.Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green.In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green-a strange world indeed.Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain.In a single eye there are millions of very small things called“cones”.These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colors.There are also millions of“rods” but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark.They show us shape but no color.Some insects have favorite colors.Mosquitoes(蚊子)like blue but do not like yellow.y red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will.In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors.Yet we are lucky.With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the rods we can see shapes at night.One day we may even learn more about the invisible(看不见的)colors around.76．Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women? A．Women are more careful.B．There are few color-blind women.C．Women are fonder of driving than men.D．Women are weaker but quicker in thinking 77.This passage is mainly about ________.A．color and its surprising effects B．women being luckier than men C．danger caused by color blindness D．color blindness 78．According to the passage, with the help of the“cones”，we can ________.A．tell orange from yellow B．see in weak light C．kill mosquitoes D．tell different shapes 79．We can attract and kill mosquitoes by using a ________.A．red light B．yellow light C．blue light D．green light keys:DABC

S Until late in the 20th century, most Americans spent time with people of generations.Now mid-aged Americans may not keep in touch with old people until they are old themselves.That’s because we group people by age.We put our three-year-olds together in day-care center, our 13-year-olds in school and sports activities, and our 80-year-olds in senior-citizen homes.Why? We live away from the old for many reasons: young people sometimes avoid the old to get rid of fears for aging and dying.It is much harder to watch.someone we love disappear before our eyes.Sometimes it’s so hard that we stay away from the people who need us most.Fortunately,.some of us have found our way to the old.And we have discovered that they often save the young.A reporter moved her family onto a block filled with old people.At first her children were disappointed.But the reporter baked banana bread for the neighbours and had her children deliver it and visit.Soon the children had many new friends, with whom they shared food, stories and projects.“My children have never been less lonely,” the reporter said.The young, in turn, save the old.Once I was in a rest home when a visitor showed up with a baby.She was immediately surrounded.People who hadn’t gotten out of bed in a week suddenly were ringing for a wheelchair.Even those who had seemed asleep wake up to watch the child.Babies have an astonishing power to comfort and cure.Grandparents are a special case.They give grandchildren a feeling of security and continuity.As my husband put it, “my grandparents gave me a deep sense that things would turn out right in the end.”

Grandchildren speak of attention they don’t get from worried parents.“My parents were always telling me to hurry up, and my grandparents told me to slow down,” one friend said.A teacher told me she can tell which pupils have relationships with grandparents: they are quieter, calmer, more trusting.80 Now in an American family, people can find that ____.A.children never live with their parents B.not all working people live with their parents C.aged people are supported by their grandchildren D.grandchildren are supported by their grandparents 81 The reason why old people are left alone may be that ____.A.the old don’t like to live in a big family

B.the young can’t get enough money to support the old

C.different generations have different lifestyles

D.the old are too weak to live with the young 82 The fact that the reporter told us shows that ___.A.old people in America lead a hard life B.old people in America enjoy banana bread C.she had no time to take care of her children D.old people are easy to get along with 83 Seeing a baby, the old people get excited because ____.A.they had never seen a baby before B.the baby was clever and beautiful C.the baby brought them the image of life D.the baby’s mother would take care of them

Why do children not get attention from their parents?

A.Because they often make trouble and make their parents disappointed.B.Because their parents are too busy to take care of them.C.Because their parents have to take care of their grandparents.D.Because their parents have been out of work for a long time.Keys: BCDCB

决定你是否值得进一步考虑。本文将为你提供如何书写成功的求职信和工作简历的法宝。当然，“成功”意味着通过你的求职信和工作简历，你将得到面试的机会。之后，你的人际交往能力助你取得工作。写求职信和工作简历的目的是为了能进入下一步，即参加面式。

大多数求职信和工作简历是邮寄的，但越来越多的申请人利用因特网来求职。比如，在线服务将工作简历存入成千上万家公司共用的数据库。利用软件扫描工作简历，找到某一职位所需个人才能的关键词，而后将选出的工作简历发往相应的各家公司。

无论你是使用网络技术(如电子邮件或在线简历服务)还是仍然使用传统手段，同样适用这一写作原则，即：你的求职信不要超过一页纸，主要谈你要申请的工作和本人的主要卖点;工作简历，一页纸或最多两页纸，主要简明地、条理清楚地、着重介绍你的工作经历。

答案及精解

41.【答案精解】B。细节题。从文章第一段末The letter and resume only aim to get you to the next step-the personal interview可知，求职信和工作简历的目的是争得面试的机会。故选B。

42.【答案精解】A。释义题。考查land在文中的词义。我们知道人们参加面试的目的是获得工作，可以得出land做动词讲时与obtain同义。reach到达，plan计划，place放置。

43.【答案精解】B。推理题。从第一段末The letter and resume only aim to get you to the next step-the personal interview中可以推知，写求职信和工作简历的目的是争得面试的机会。

44.【答案精解】D。推理题。文章第二段给出了发送求职信和工作简历的两种方式：邮寄和因特网。由Most job letters and resumes still get sent through the mail可知大多数求职信和工作简历仍然是通过传统方式邮寄的。

45.【答案精解】C。判断题。选项A求职信长于一页，与文中要求“不要超过一页纸”相悖;选项B工作简历长于两页纸，与文中要求“一页纸或最多两页纸”相悖;选项D工作简历包括所有背景的详细信息，与文中要求“simply，specifically”相悖。故正确答案为C。

questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40.For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A),B), C)and D).You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.In Shanghai, a growing number of foreign-funded banks are looking for local people to fill executive positions(行政主管的岗位)rather than people from their own countries as they did in the past.U.S.-based Citibank(花旗银行)put a job announcement in a local newspaper last week calling for executive trainees.It was part of Citibank' s business plan in China to draw local professionals(专业人员).Demand for personal banking services has been on the rise since China joined the World Trade Organization at the end of 2001.The move does not only happen to Citibank.Many other foreign-funded banks in the city have made similar decisions.The U.K.' s Standard Chartered last year employed over 30 graduates from Chinese universities and colleges as executive trainess.They are expected to take up managerial positions at the bank's Shanghai branch after a two-year training program overseas.The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation(HSBC)has announced it will employ more new graduates in China in the coming year.Local people account for over 92 % of the office workers in its Shanghai operation.36.Citibank used to look for executives for its operations ________.A)in the U.S.B)in Shanghai C)in the U.K.D)in some cities 37.The executive trainees(Line 4, Para.1)are probably those who are A)persons to train other people B)persons to be trained C)executives

38.Banks like Citibank look for local people to fill executive positions because ________.A)there is an increasing demand for personal banking services B)there are more and more local professionals C)China has joined the World Trade Organization D)China has more and more executive trainees 39.HSBC probably is the name of ________.A)some executives B)some local people C)a city D)a bank 40.According to the passage, after they have been employed the Chinese graduates would ________.A)be trained for 2 years in Shanghai B)be sent to overseas for training C)do some work of executives in Shanghai D)take up managerial positions at the branch 参考译文

在上海，越来越多的外资银行正在寻求中国人做行政主管，而不再像从前那样用自己国家的人做行政主管。上周美国的花旗银行在当地的一家报纸上刊登工作公告来招募高级见习管理人员。这是花旗银行在中国当地招募专业人员的商务计划之一。中国自2001年末加入世贸组织以来，对于私人银行服务的需求处于上升趋势。并非只有花旗银行采取了这一措施，上海许多外资银行都做出了同样的决定。英国的渣打银行去年从中国招募了30多名大学毕业生做高级见习管理人员。经过两年的海外培训后，他们有望在上海的分行做管理工作。

上海及香港银行公司已经宣布明年将在中国聘用更多的应届大学毕业生。其在上海的分公司中国人占据了全体员工的92%以上。

答案及精解

36.【答案精解】A。推理题。从文章第一句得知，过去外资银行用自己国家的人做行政主管，而花旗银行属于美国，所以我们可以推断过去花旗银行用美国人做行政主管。

37.【答案精解】B。释义题。本题考查名词trainees的含义。根据文章第一段最后一句They(承前指代executive trainees)are expected to take up managerial posifions at me bank's Shanghai branch after a two-year training program overseas得知。他们被招募来首先要经过培训，所以trainees的意思是“见习生，实习生”，故选B。

38.【答案精解】A。判断题。从文中Demand for personal banking services has been„at the end of 2001可得出选项A为正确答案。而选项C只是造成increasing demand for personal banking services的原因，并非外资银行招募中国员工的直接原因。

39.【答案精解】D。释义题。由第二段句首The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation(HSBC)可知，它是The Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation的缩写，所以HSBC是一家银行的名称。

40.【答案精解】B。细节题。从原文第一段句末They ale expected to...after a two-year training program overseas可知，大学毕业生首先要送往国外受训两年，而非留在上海受训，所以A不正确，而C和D则是受训归国之后的事，因此应排除。
