Kicking the Habit

What is a bad habit? The most definition is that it is something that we do regularly, almost without thinking about it, and which has some sort of negative consequence. This consequence

天宇考王-手机版、网页版、单机版三位一体多平台学习模式

could affect those around us, or it could affect us personally. Those who deny having bad habits are probably lying. Bad habits are part of what makes us human.

Many early habits, like sucking out thumb, are broken when we are very young. We are

either told to stop doing it by our parents, or we consciously or subconsciously observe that others do not have the same habit, and we gradually grow out of it. It is when we intentionally or unintentionally pick up new habits in our later childhood or early adulthood that it becomes a problem. Unless we can break that habit early on, it becomes a part of out life, and becomes ―programmed‖ into our brain.

A recent study of human memory suggests that no matter how hard we try to change our habits, it is the old ways that tend to win, especially in situations where we are rushed, stressed or overworked. Habits that we thought we had got rid of can suddenly come back. During the study program, the researchers showed a group of volunteers several pictures, and gave them words to associate with them. They then showed the volunteers the same picture again, and gave them new words to associate with them.

A few days later, the volunteers were given a test. The researchers showed them the pictures, and told them to respond with one of the words they had been given for each one. It came as no surprise that their answers were split between the first set of words and second. Two weeks later, they were given the same test again. This time, most of them only gave the first set of words. They appeared to have completely forgotten the second set.

The study confirms that the responses we learn first are those that remain strongest over time. We may try to change our ways, but after a while, the response that comes to mind first is usually the first one we learned. The more that response is used, the more automatic it becomes and the harder it becomes to respond in any other way.

The study therefore suggests that over time, our bad habits also become automatic, learned behavior. This is not good news for people who pick up bad habits early in life and now want to change or break them. Even when we try to put new, good intentions into practice, those previous learned habits remain stronger in more automatic, unconscious forms of memory.

16. Boys usually develop bad habits when they are very young.

A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

17. We can only break bad habits if others tell us to do.

A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned

18. Bad habits may return when we are under pressure.

Pedestrians Only?

1 The concept of traffic-free shopping areas goes back a long time. During the Middle Ages, traffic-free shopping areas were built in Middle Eastern countries to allow people to shop in comfort and, more importantly, safety. As far back as 2,000 years ago, road traffic was banned from central Rome during the day to allow for the free movement of pedestrians (行人) and was only allowed in at night when shops and markets had closed for the day. In most other cities,

however, pedestrians were forced to share the streets with horses, coaches and, later, with cars and other motorised vehicles.

2 The modern, traffic-free shopping street was born in Europe in the 1960s, when both city populations and car ownership increased rapidly. Dirty gases from cars and the risks involved in crossing the road were beginning to make shopping an unpleasant and dangerous experience. Many believed the time was right for experimenting with car-free streets, and shopping areas seemed the best place to start.

3 At first, there was resistance from shopkeepers. They believed that such a move would be bad for business. They argued that people would avoid streets if they were unable to get to them in their cars. When the first streets in Europe were closed to traffic, there were even noisy

demonstrations, as many shopkeepers predicted they would lose customers.

4 However, research carried out afterwards in several European cities revealed some

unexpected statistics. In Munich, Cologne and Hamburg, visitors to shopping areas increased by 50 percent. On Copenhagen's main shopping street, shopkeepers reported sales increases of 25-40 percent. Shopkeepers in Minneapolis, the USA. were so impressed when they learnt this that they even offered to pay for the construction and maintenance costs of their own traffic-free streets. 5 With the arrival of the traffic-free shopping street, many shops, especially those selling things like clothes, food and smaller luxury items, prospered. Unfortunately, it wasn’t good news for everyone, as shops selling furniture and larger electrical appliances (电器) actually saw their sates drop. Many of these were forced to move elsewhere, away from the city centre.

23. Paragraph 1________

24. Paragraph 2________

25. Paragraph 3________

26. Paragraph 4________

A Facing protests from shop owners

B An experiment that went wrong

第4部分:阅读理解(第31~45题,每题3分,共45分)

下面有3篇短文,每篇短文后有5道题,每道题后面有4个选项。请根据文章的内容,从每题所给的4个选项中选择1个最佳答案,涂在答题卡相应的位置上。

第一篇

An Expensive Mistake

Is there water on the planet Mars? Is there life on Mars? Was there ever life on Mars?

Scientists from NASA wanted to know the answers to these questions. They built a spacecraft to travel around Mars and get information. The spacecraft was called the Mars Climate Orbiter. The Mars Climate Orbiter left for Mars in December 1998. The trip took nine and a half months. At first, everything was fine. However, when the Orbiter got near Mars, something

terrible happened. The spacecraft didn’t go to the right place. It went too close to Mars. It was too hot for the Orbiter there. The spacecraft couldn’t function correctly. Suddenly, it stopped sending message to NASA. The Orbiter was lost.

How could this terrible thing happen? How did the Orbiter get closer to Mars than the

scientists planned? Finally, they found the answer. Two teams of scientists worked together on the Orbiter. One team was in England, and one team was in the United States. There were many similarities in the way they worked, but there was one important difference: The teams used different guidelines for measuring things. The United States team used the metric system(公制). The other team used the English system.

Because they used different systems, the scientists made a mathematical mistake. The

Orbiter’s orbit (the shape and pattern of its path) around Mars was not correct. The scientists put the Orbiter on the wrong path. The Orbiter got too close and too hot, and it stopped functioning.

天宇考王-手机版、网页版、单机版三位一体多平台学习模式

Why didn’t anybody see the mistake before it was too late? Many things contributed to the problem. One thing was that NASA scientists and mathematicians were working on two other spacecrafts at the same time. This was a challenge, and they were very tired from working long hours.

The Mars Climate Orbiter cost $94 million to build. It also cost a lot of money to try to find the lost Orbiter in space. In addition, NASA’s research on the cause of the problem was very expensive. This wasn’t the first time that two different measurement systems caused mistakes in scientific projects. However, the Mars Climate Orbiter was definitely the most expensive mistake of all!

31 NASA built the Mars Climate Orbiter to get information about___.

A. the size of Mars

B. possible life on Mars

C. the shape of mars

D. the atmosphere of Mars

32 How long did it take the Orbiter to get close to Mars?

A. One year.

B. Less than one year.

C. About two and a half years.

D. More than three years.

33 When did the Orbiter’s problem begin?

A. Right after if left for Mars.

B. Right after it landed on Mars.

C. When it got near Mars.

D. When it returned to Earth.

34 What caused the Orbiter’s problem?

A. Scientists used wrong guidelines of mathematics.

B. Scientists used wrong building materials.

C. Scientists used different operating systems.

D. Scientists used different measurement systems.

35 Why didn’t NASA scientists identify the problem before the Orbiter left for Mars?

A. They didn’t know the English system.

B. They were sure of the success of the trip.

C. They were tired from working long hours.

D. They didn’t get enough research funding.

The Development of Ballet

天宇考王-手机版、网页版、单机版三位一体多平台学习模式

Ballet is a dance form that has a long history. The fact that it survives to this day shows that it has adjusted as times have changed.

Ballet began in the royal courts during the Renaissance. At that time it became common for kings and queens, as well as other nobility, to participate in pageants that included music, poetry, and dance. As these entertainments moved from the Italian courts to the French ones, court ladies began participating in them. Though their long dresses prevented much movement, they were able to perform elaborate walking patterns. It was not until the 1600s that women dancers shortened their skirts, changed to flat shoes, and began doing some of the leaps and turns performed by men. It was also in the 1600s that professional ballet began. King Louis XIV of France, himself a devoted dancer, founded the Royal Academy of Dance. The five basic feet positions from which all ballet steps begin were finalized. In the late 1700s another important change occurred. Ballet began to tell a story on its own. It was no longer simply dance to be performed between acts of plays. Elaborate wigs and costumes were eliminated. By the early 1800s dancers learned to rise on their toes to make it appear that they were floating.

Classical ballet as we know it today was influenced primarily by Russian dancing. The Russians remained interested in ballet when it declined in other European countries in the

mid-1800s. One of the most influential figures of the early 20th century was Sergei Diaghilev. His dance company, the Ballets Russees, brought a new energy and excitement to ballet. One of his chief assistants, George Balanchine, went on to found the New York City Ballet in 1948 and to influence new generations of dancers.

36 This passage deals mainly with _____.

A famous names in ballet

B Russian ballet

C how ballet has developed

D why ballet is no longer popular

37 The word pageants in paragraph 2 means _____.

A dances

B instructors

C royal courts

D big shows

38 Professional ballet was first performed in_____.

A France

B Italy

C Russia

D America

39 Who had an important influence on early ballet?

A Balanchine.

B Antoinette.

天宇考王-手机版、网页版、单机版三位一体多平台学习模式

C Louis XIV.

D Diaghilev.

40 We can conclude from this passage that ballet _____.

A will continue to change as new people and ideas influence it

B is a dying art

C is currently performed only in Russia

D is often performed by dancers with little training

参考答案: 36.C 37.D 38.A 39.C 40.A

第三篇

Operation Migration

If you look up at the sky in the early fall in the northern part of North America, you may see groups of birds. These birds are flying south to places where they can find food and warmth for the winter. They are migrating(迁徙). The young birds usually learn to migrate from their parents. They follow their parents south. In one unusual case, however, the young birds are following something very different. These birds are young whooping cranes, and they are following an airplane!

The whooping crane is the largest bird that is native to North America. These birds almost disappeared in the 1800s. By 1941, there were only about 20 cranes alive. In the 1970s, people were worried that these creatures were in danger of disappearing completely. As a result, the United States identified whooping cranes as an endangered species that they needed to protect. Some researchers tried to help. They began to breed whooping cranes in special parks to

increase the number of birds. This plan was successful. There were a lot of new baby birds. As the birds became older, the researchers wanted to return them to nature. However, there was a problem: These young birds did not know how to migrate. They needed human help.

In 2001, some people had a creative idea. They formed an organization called Operation Migration. This group decided to use very light airplanes, instead of birds, to lead the young

whooping cranes on their first trip south. They painted each airplane to look like a whooping crane. Even the pilots wore special clothing to make them look like cranes. The cranes began to trust the airplanes, and the plan worked.

Today, planes still lead birds across approximately 1,200 miles (1,931 kilometers), from the United States-Canadian border to the Gulf of Mexico. They leave the birds at different sites. If a trip is successful, the birds can travel on their own in the future. Then, when these birds become parents, they will teach their young to migrate. The people of Operation Migration think this is the only way to maintain the whooping crane population.

Operation Migration works with several other organizations and government institutes.

Together, they assist hundreds of cranes each year. However, some experts predict that soon, this won’t be necessary. Thanks to Operation Migration and its partners, the crane population will continue to migrate. Hopefully, they won’t need human help any more.

41 Whooping cranes migrate in winter to ____.

天宇考王-手机版、网页版、单机版三位一体多平台学习模式

A raise baby whooping cranes

B get human help

C find warmth and food

42 Whooping cranes are native to ____.

43 Operation Migration aims to ____.

A lead young cranes on their first trip south

B teach adult cranes how to fly

C breed cranes in special parks

D transport cranes to the North

44 The distance covered by the young whooping cranes on their trip south is ____.

A 1,200 miles

B 120 miles

C 1,931 miles

D 2,000 miles

45 If Operation Migration is successful, whooping cranes will ____.

A follow airplanes south every year

B learn to migrate on their own

C live in Canada all year around

D be unable to fly back

A Doctor in the House

Brushing your teeth twice a day should keep the dentist away. But if a group of scientific

researchers have their wish, it will make the rest of your body healthy too. ____46____ It is one of many gadgets (小装置) proposed by engineers and doctors at the Center for Future Health in New York ― others include a pair of glasses that help to jog your memory, and a home camera designed to check for cancer.

The devices seem fanciful, but the basic principles are simple. The gadgets should make it easy for people to detect illness long before it strikes and so seek treatment far earlier than normal. ____47____ In the long run, the technology may even prevent illness by encouraging us to lead

天宇考王-手机版、网页版、单机版三位一体多平台学习模式

healthier lives.

Traffic Jams—No End in Sight

1 Traffic congestion(拥堵)affects people throughout the world. Traffic jams cause smog in dozens of cities across both the developed and developing world. In the U.S., commuters (通勤人员) spend an average of a full working week each year sitting in traffic jams, according to the Texas Transportation Institute. While alternative ways of getting around are available, most people still choose their cars because they are looking for convenience, comfort and privacy. 2 The most promising technique for reducing city traffic is called congestion pricing,

whereby cities charge a toll to enter certain parts of town at certain times of day. In theory, if the toll is high enough, some drivers will cancel their trips or go by bus or train. And in practice it seems to work: Singapore, London and Stockholm have reduced traffic and pollution in city centres thanks to congestion pricing.

3 Another way to reduce rush—hour traffic is for employers to implement flextime, which lets employees travel to and from work at off-peak traffic times to avoid the rush hour. Those who have to travel during busy times can do their part by sharing cars. Employers can also allow more staff to telecommute (work from home) so as to keep more cars off the road altogether.

4 Some urban planners still believe that the best way to ease traffic congestion is to build more roads, especially roads that can take drivers around or over crowded city streets. But such techniques do not really keep cars off the road; they only accommodate more of them.

5 Other, more forward—thinking, planners know that more and more drivers and cars are taking to the roads every day, and they are unwilling to encourage more private automobiles when public transport is so much better both for people and the environment. For this reason, the American government has decided to spend some$7 billion on helping to increase capacity on public-transport systems and upgrade them with more efficient technologies. But

environmentalists complain that such funding is tiny compared with the$50 billion being spent on roads and bridges.

第一篇

Operation Migration

If you look up at the sky in the early fall in the northern part of North America, you may see groups of birds. These birds are flying south to places where they can find food and warmth for the winter. They are migrating(迁徙). The young birds usually learn to migrate from their parents. They follow their parents south. In one unusual case, however, the young birds are following something very different. These birds are young whooping cranes, and they are following an airplane!

The whooping crane is the largest bird that is native to North America. These birds almost disappeared in the 1800s. By 1941, there were only about 20 cranes alive. In the 1970s, people were worried that these creatures were in danger of disappearing completely. As a result, the United States identified whooping cranes as an endangered species that they needed to protect. Some researchers tried to help. They began to breed whooping cranes in special parks to

天宇考王-手机版、网页版、单机版三位一体多平台学习模式

increase the number of birds. This plan was successful. There were a lot of new baby birds. As the birds became older, the researchers wanted to return them to nature. However, there was a problem: These young birds did not know how to migrate. They needed human help.

In 2001, some people had a creative idea. They formed an organization called Operation Migration. This group decided to use very light airplanes, instead of birds, to lead the young

whooping cranes on their first trip south. They painted each airplane to look like a whooping crane. Even the pilots wore special clothing to make them look like cranes. The cranes began to trust the airplanes, and the plan worked.

Today, planes still lead birds across approximately 1,200 miles (1,931 kilometers), from the United States-Canadian border to the Gulf of Mexico. They leave the birds at different sites. If a trip is successful, the birds can travel on their own in the future. Then, when these birds become parents, they will teach their young to migrate. The people of Operation Migration think this is the only way to maintain the whooping crane population.

Operation Migration works with several other organizations and government institutes.

Together, they assist hundreds of cranes each year. However, some experts predict that soon, this won’t be necessary. Thanks to Operation Migration and its partners, the crane population will continue to migrate. Hopefully, they won’t need human help any more.

41 Whooping cranes migrate in winter to____.

A. find warmth and food

B. raise baby whooping cranes

C. get human help

D. lay eggs

42 Whooping cranes are native to____.

43 Operation migration aims to____.

C. lead young cranes on their first trip south

D. transport cranes to the north

44 The distance covered by the young whooping cranes on their trip south is____.

A.120 miles

B.1931 miles

C.1200 miles

D.2000 miles

―Lucky‖ Lord Lucan—Alive or Dead

On 8th November 1974 Lord Lucan, a British aristocrat, vanished. The day before, his

children’s nanny had been brutally murdered and his wife had been attacked too. To this day the British public are still interested in the murder case because Lucan has never been found. Now, over 30 years later, the police have reopened the case, hoping the new DNA techniques will help solve the murder mystery.

People suspected that ―Lucky‖, as he was called by friends, wanted to kill his wife he no longer lived with. They say that Lucan entered his old house and in the dark, killed the nanny by mistake. His estranged wife heard noises, came downstairs and was also attacked, but managed to escape. Seven months after the murder, a jury concluded that Lucan had killed the nanny. What happened next is unclear, but there are several theories which fall into one of three categories: he may have killed himself, he could have escaped or he might have been killed. It appears that the night after the murder, ―Lucky‖ borrowed a car and drove it, Lucan’s friend

Aspinall said in an interview that he thought Lucan had committed suicide by sinking his boat in the English Channel.

Another version of events says that ―Lucky‖ left the blood-soaked car on the coast and took a ferry to France. He was met there by someone who drove him safety in another country. However, after a time, his rescuers became worried that they would become involved in the murder too and so Lucan was killed.

A further fascinating theory was made in the book Dead Lucky by Duncan MacLaughlin, a former detective. He believes that Lucan travelled to Goa, India, where he assumed the identity of a Mr. Barry Haplin. Lucan then lived in Goa till his death in 1996. In the end the claim turned out to be a case of mistaken identity. The man who died in 1996 was really Haplin, an

ex-schoolteacher turned hippy. So what is the truth about ―Lucky‖? DNA testing has solved many murder cases, but who knows if it can close the book on the one.

36 The public are still interested in the investigation because ____.

A. of the terrible murder

B. of the use of new DNA techniques

C. Lord Lucan has never been found(the murderer has not been caught)

D. lord Lucan was famous

37 It is thought that Lucan killed the nanny because ____.

A. she was looking after the children

B. she was a friend of Lucan’s

天宇考王-手机版、网页版、单机版三位一体多平台学习模式

C. it was dark and he thought she was lady Lucan(she was mistaken for his wife)

D. lord Lucan thought the nanny stole his car

38 Aspinall thought Lucan killed himself by ____.

A. jumping into water

B. jumping out of his house

C. sailing his boat

D. sinking his boat

39 Lucan could have been killed because people ____.

A. didn’t want the police to catch him

B. thought he might talk to the police about them if he was caught(has escaped but was killed later) C. were unhappy with him

D. thought he was rich

40 The word ―assumed‖ in paragraph 5 means----took on

(教材题目)Ex-detective MacLaughlin claimed that Mr. Barry Haplin ____.

A. was an old schoolteacher

B. died in Goa, India

C. was really Lord Lucan in disguise

D. was a merchant

On the Trial of the Honey Badger

On a recent field trip to the Kalahari Desert, a team of researchers learn a lot more about honey badgers. The team employed a local wildlife expert Kitso Khama to help them locate and follow the badgers across the desert.

Their main aim was to study the badgers’ movements and behavior as discreetly(谨慎地) as possible without frightening them away or causing them to change their natural behavior. They also planned to trap a few and study them close up before releasing them in view of the animal’s reputation, this was something that even Khama was reluctant to do.

―The problem with honey badgers is they are naturally curious animals, especially when they see something new,‖ he says. ―That, combined with their unpredictable nature, can be a dangerous mixture. If they sense you have food, for example, they won’t be shy about coming right up to you for something to eat. They’re actually quite sociable creatures around humans, but as soon as they feel they might be in danger, they can become extremely vicious(凶恶的). Fortunately this is rare, but it does happen.‖

The research confirmed many things that were already known. As expected, honey badgers ate any creatures they could catch and kill. Even poisonous snakes, feared and avoided by most other animals, were not safe from them. The researchers were surprised, however, by the animal’s

天宇考王-手机版、网页版、单机版三位一体多平台学习模式

fondness for local melons, probably because of their high water content. Preciously researchers thought that the animal got all of its liquid requirements from its prey(猎物). The team also learnt that, contrary to previous research findings, the badgers occasionally formed loose family groups. They were also able to confirm certain results from previous research, including the fact that female badgers never socialized with each other.

Following some of the male badgers was a challenge, since they can cover large distances in a short space of time. Some hunting territories cover more than 500 square kilometers. Although they seem happy to share these territories with other males, there are occasional fights over an important food source, and male badgers can be as aggressive towards each other as they are towards other species.

As the badgers became accustomed to the presence of people, it gave the team the to get up close to them without being the subject of the animal’s curiosity—or sudden aggression. The

badgers’ eating patterns, which had been disrupted, to normal. It also allowed the team to observe more closely some of the other creatures that form working associations with the honey badger, as these seemed to badgers’ relaxed attitude when near humans.

31 Why did the wild life experts visit the Kalahari Desert?

A. To find where honey badgers live.

B. To catch some honey badgers for food.

C. To observe how honey badgers behave.

D. To find out why honey badgers have a bad reputation.

32 What does Kitso Khama say about honey badgers?

A. They are always looking for food.

B. They do not enjoy human company.

C. They show interest in things they are not familiar with.

D. It is common for them to attack people.

33 What did the team find out about honey badgers?

A. There were some creatures they did not eat.

B. They were afraid of poisonous creatures.

C. Female badgers did not mix with male badgers.

D. They may get some of the water they needed from fruit.

34 Which of the following is a typical feature of male badgers?

B. They defend their territory from other badgers.

C. They hunt over a very large area.

D. They are more aggressive than females.

The Tough Grass That Sweetens Our Lives

Sugar cane was once a wild grass that grew in New Guinea and was used by local people for roofing their houses and fencing their gardens. gradually a different variety evolved which

contained sucrose (蔗糖) and was chewed on for its sweet taste. Over time, sugar cane became a highly valuable commercial plant, grown throughout the world. ______(46)

______(47) many crops withered(枯萎) and died, despite growers attempts to save them and there were fears that the health of the plant would continues to deteriorate.

In the 1960s, scientists working in Barbados looked for ways to make the commercial species stronger and more able to resist disease. They experimented with breeding programs, mixing genes from the wild species of sugar cane, which tends to be tougher, with genes from the more delicate, commercial type. ______(48) this sugar cane is not yet ready to be sold commercially, but when this happens, it is expected to be incredibly profitable for the industry.

_______(49) brazil, which produces one quarter of the world’ s sugar, has coordinated an international project under professor Paulo Arrudo of the Universidade Estaudual De Campinas in Sao Paulo. Teams of experts have worked with him to discover more about which parts of the genetic structure of the plant are important for the production of sugar and its overall health. Despite all the research, however, we still do not fully understand how the genes in sugar cane. ______(50) this gene is particularly exciting because it makes the plant resistant to rust, a disease which probably originated in India, but is now capable of infecting sugar cane across the world. Scientists believe they will eventually be able to grow a plant which cannot be destroyed by rust.

A. The majority of the world’s sugar now comes from this particular commercial species.

B. Unfortunately, however, the plant started to become weaker and more prone to disease.

C. Eventually, a commercial plant was developed which was 5 percent sweeter than before, but also much stronger and less likely to die from disease.

D. Since the 1960s, scientists have been analyzing the mysteries of the sugar cane’s genetic code.

E. One major gene has been identified by Dr Angélique D’Hont and her team in Montpelier, France.

第2部分:阅读判断(第16~22题,每题1分,共7分) Mau Piailug, Ocean Navigator

Mau sailed from Hawaii to Tahiti using traditional methods.

In early 1976’ Mau Piailug, a fisherman, led an expedition in which he sailed a traditional Polynesian boat across 2, 500 miles of ocean from Hawaii to Tahiti. The Polynesian Voyaging Society had organised the expedition. Its purpose was to find out if seafarers (海员)in the distant past could have found their way from one island to the other without navigational instruments, or whether the islands had been populated by accident. At the time, Mau was the only man alive who knew how to navigate just by observing the stars, the wind and the sea.

He had never before sailed to Tahiti, which was a long way to the south. However, he

understood how the wind and the sea behave around islands, so he was confident he could find his way. The voyage took him and his crew a month to complete and he did it without a compass or charts.

His grandfather began the task of teaching him how to navigate when he was still a baby. He showed him pools of water on the beach to teach him how the behaviour of the waves and wind changed in different places. Later, Mau used a circle of stones to memorise the positions of the stars. Each stone was laid out in the sand to represent a star.

The voyage proved that Hawaii's first inhabitants came in small boats and navigated by

reading the sea and the stars. Mau himself became a keen teacher, passing on his traditional secrets to people of other cultures so that his knowledge would not be lost. He explained the positions of the stars to his students, but he allowed them to write things down because he knew they would never be able to remember everything as he had done.

Why So Many Children

In many of the developing countries in Africa and Asia, the population is growing fast. The reason for this is simple: Women in these countries have a high birth rate – from 3.0 to 7.0 children per woman. The majority of these

women are poor, without the food or resources to care for their families. Why do they have so many children? Why don’t they limit the size of their families? The answer may be that they often have no choice. There are several reasons for this.

One reason is economic. In a traditional agricultural economy, large families are helpful. Having more children means having more workers in the fields and someone to take care of the parents in old age. In an industrial economy, the situation is different. Many children do not help a family; instead, they are expense. Thus, industrialization has generally brought down the birth rate. This was the case in Italy, which was industrialized quite recently and rapidly. In the early part of

天宇考王-手机版、网页版、单机版三位一体多平台学习模式

the twentieth century, Italy was a poor, largely agricultural country with a high birth rate. After World War II, Italy’s economy was rapidly modernized and industrialized. By the end of the century, the birth rate had dropped to 1.3 children per woman, the world’s lowest.

However, the economy is not the only important factor that influences birth rate. Saudi Arabia, for example, does not have an agriculture-based economy, and it has one of the highest per capita incomes in the world. Nevertheless, it also has a very high birth rate (7.0). Mexico and Indonesia, on the other hand, are poor countries, with largely agricultural economies, but they have recently reduced their population growth.

Clearly, other factors are involved. The most important of these is the condition of women. A high birth rate almost always goes together with lack of education and low status for women. This would explain the high birth rate of Saudi Arabia. There, the traditional culture gives women little education or independence and few possibilities outside the home. On the other hand, the

improved condition of women in Mexico, Thailand, and Indonesia explains the decline in birth rates in these countries. Their governments have taken measures to provide more education and opportunities for women.

Another key factor in the birth rate is birth control. Women may want to limit their families but have no way to do so. In countries where governments have made birth control easily

available and inexpensive, birth rates have gone down. This is the case in Singapore, Sri Lanka, and India, as well as in Indonesia, Thailand, Mexico, and Brazil. In these countries, women have also been provided with health care and help in planning their families.

These trends show that an effective program to reduce population growth does not have to depend on better economic conditions. It can be effective if it aims to help women and meet their needs. Only then, in fact, does it have any real chance of success.

41. In a traditional agricultural economy, a large family_____.

A. can be an advantage.

B. may limit income.

第三篇

Making a Loss is the Height of Fashion

Given that a good year in the haute couture(高级定制女装)business is one where you lose even more money than usual, the prevailing mood in Paris last week was sensational. The

big-name designers were falling over themselves to boast of how many outfits they had sold at below cost price, and how this proved that the fashion business was healthier than ever.

Jean—Paul Gaultier reported record sales. ―But we don’t make any money out of it‖, the designer assured journalists backstage. ―No matter how successful you are, you can’t make a profit from couture,‖ explained Jean—Jacques Picart, a veteran fashion PR man, and co—founder of the now—bankrupt Lacroix house.

Almost 20 years have passed since the unusual economics of the couture business were first exposed. Outraged that he was Losing money on evening dresses costing tens of thousands of

pounds, the couturier Jean-Louis Scherrer published of his costs. One outfit he described curtained over half a mile of gold thread 1 8, 000sequins(亮片), and had required hundreds of hours of hand—stitching in an atelier(制作室). A fair price would have been~50, 000, but the couturier could only get~35, 000 for it. Rather than riding high on the foolishness of the super—rich, he and

天宇考王-手机版、网页版、单机版三位一体多平台学习模式

his team could barely feed their hungry families.

The result was an outcry and the first of a series of government-and industry—sponsored inquiries into the surreal(超现实的)world of ultimate fashion. The trade continues to insist that couture offers you more than you pay for, but it’s not as simple as that. When such a temple of old wealth starts talking about value for money, it isn’t to convince anyone that dresses costing as much as houses are a bargain. Rather, it is to preserve the peculiar mystique(神秘), lucrative(利润丰厚的)associations and threatened interests that couture represents.

Essentially, the arguments couldn’t be simpler. On one side are those who say that the

business will die if it doesn’t change. On the other are those who say it will die if it is highly dated. Huge in its costs, tiny in its clientele and questionable in its influence, it still remains one of the great themes of Parisian life. In his book, The Fashion Conspiracy, Nicholas Coleridge estimates that the entire couture industry rests on the whims(一时兴起)of less than 30 immensely wealthy women, and although the number may have grown in recent years with the new prosperity of Asia, the number of couture customers worldwide is no more than 4.000.

To qualify as couture, a garment must be entirely handmade by one of the 11 Paris couture houses registered to the Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture. Each house must employ at least 20 people. and show a minimum of 75 new designs a year. So far, so traditional. But the Big Four operators——Chanel, Dior, Givenchy and Gaultier—increasingly use couture as a marketing device for their far more profitable ready—to—wear, fragrance and accessory lines.

31. What is the main idea of the first paragraph?

A. The haute couture business is expanding quickly.

B. The haute couture designers make much profit in their sales.

C. The haute couture businessmen are happy with their profit.

D. The haute couture designers claim losses in their sales.

32. According to the second paragraph, Jean-Louis Scherrer_____.

A. was in a worse financial position than other couturiers.

B. was very angry as he was losing money.

C. was one of the best-know couturiers.

D. stopped producing haute couture dresses.

33. The writer says that the outfit Jean-Louis Scherrer described_____.

A. was worth the price that was paid for it.

B. cost more to make than it should have.

C. was never sold to anyone.

D. should have cost the customer than it did.

34. The writer says in Paragraph 4 that there is disagreement over_____.

A. the history of haute couture.

B. the future of haute couture.

C. the real costs of haute couture.

D. the changes that need to be made in haute couture.

35. What is the writer’s tone toward haute couture business?

A. Somewhat ironical

A co-author of the new study, Rick Shine, a professor at the University of Sydney, says that little attention has been given to the problems that toads face. Rick and his colleagues studied nearly 500 toads from Queensland and the Northern Territory and found that those in the latter state were very different. They were active, sprinting down roads and breeding quickly. According to the results of the study, the fastest toads travel nearly one kilometre a

night._______(49) But speed and strength come at a price — arthritis of the legs and backbone due to constant pressure placed on them.

In laboratory tests, the researchers found that after about 15 minutes of hopping, arthritic toads would travel less distance with each hop (跳跃)._______(50) These toads are so

programmed to move, apparently, that even when in pain the toads travelled as fast and as far as the healthy ones, continuing their constant march across the landscape.

A. Toads are not built to be road runners—— they are built to sit around ponds and wet areas.

B. The task now facing the country is how to remove the toads.

C. Furthermore, they soon take over the natural habitats of Australia’s native species.

D. Toads with longer legs move faster and travel longer distances while the others are being left behind.

E. But this advantage also has a big drawback — up to 10% of the biggest toads suffer from arthritis.

F. But arthritis didn’t slow down toads outside the laboratory the research found.

介绍一下全国职称英语等级考试的基本情况:
1、全国职称英语等级考试分综合类、理工类、卫生类,根据自己的专业需求报考相应专业。(我当年考的是卫生类的,下面以卫生类为例。)
2、试卷题型:词汇选型(1分/题*15=15分)、阅读判断(1分/题*=7分)、概括大意与完成句子(1分/题**=8分)、阅读理解(3分/题*15=45分)、补全短文(2分/题*5=10分)、完型填空(1分/题*15=15分)。
3、考试用书:中国人事出版社的《全国职称英语等级考试用书》。

[英语考级怎么考]2014年全国职称英语等级考试如何备考 二
备战阶段如何复习:
1、以词汇为切入点。一般毕业后很少会再碰英语,词汇基本还给老师了,所以,先从词汇让手,虽然词典允许带入考场,那也不至于通篇单词不认识,那查都来不及,这样的结果肯定很悬。所以,先在网上下载一个有人整理的职称英语单词进行复习,这样针对性强一点,也不至于漫天撒网,精力不够。前人栽树后人乘凉,我们要感谢那些辛苦整理的前辈们。
2、以阅读理解为突破口。解决了词汇问题,接着解决阅读理解,因为其他的题型都是以阅读理解为基础的,也可以说是阅读理解的“变种”。所以,平时多做阅读理解,这个提高了,其他都是水到渠成的事。
3、留意考试流程:报名时间、缴费时间、下载准考证时间,这些都要注意。
4、去考场前带全东西:身份证、准考证、2B铅笔、黑色水笔等等,这个也就是仔细阅读准考证须带的东西。
5、还有,居住地离考场远的,有必要提前入住宾馆的,就别去省这个钱。
6、准备一本正式出版的英语同义词词典,如牛津或外研社出版的,切记别带针对职称英语考试而编写的词典。

[英语考级怎么考]2014年全国职称英语等级考试如何备考 三
实战阶段如何应考:
1、去考场出名前核对身份证、准考证等资料,包括中双语词典,确保考试用品齐全。
2、考试时沉着应对,莫紧张,坚信自己可以,不就60分嘛。
3、答题时有侧重。词汇、阅读理解、完型填空所占分值高(合计高达75分)的先做,集中精力答好这部分题目。抓大的放小的这个道理,大家应该都懂。60分万岁嘛,又不是公务员、考研等竞技考试,只要过线就行。
4、阅读判断倒可以放到最后,因为本题根据自己的经验或所学的专业知识就能蒙答案,而且蒙得正确率也高,因为他只有三个选项(A、Right; B、Wrong;C、Not mentioned)。
5、熟练掌握阅读理解与完形填空去年教材上没有的新增文章(切记),当年考级基本原题出现出现,这相当于送分题,而且节省了时间,可以更好的应付其他题。

Computer Mouse

The basic computer mouse is an amazingly clever invention with a relatively simple design that allows US to point at things on the computer and it is very productive.Think of all the things you can do with a mouse like selecting text for copying and pasting, drawing,and even scrolling on the page with the newer mice with the wheel.Most of US use the computer mouse daily without stopping to think how it works until it gets dirty and we have to learn how to clean it. We learn to point at things before we learn to speak,So the mouse is a very natural pointing device.Other computer pointing devices include light pens,graphics tablets and touch screens,but the mouse is still our workhorse.

The computer mouse was invented in 1964 by Douglas Englehart of Stanford University.As computer screens became more popular and arrow keys were used to move around a body of text,it became clear that a pointing device that allowed easier motion through the text and even selection of text would be very useful.The introduction of the mouse,with the Apple Lisa computer in 1983, really started the computer public on the road to relying on the mouse for routine computer tasks.

How does the mouse work? we have to start at the bottom,so think upside down for now.It all starts with the mouse ball.As me mouse ball in the bottom of the mouse rolls over the mouse pad, it presses against and turns two shafts.The shafts are connected to wheels with several small holes in them.The wheels have a pair of small electronic light—emitting devices called light—emitting diodes(LED) mounted on either side.One LED sends a light beam to the LED on the other side. As the wheels spin and a hole rotates by, the light beam gets through to the LED on the other side. But a moment later the light beam is blocked until the next hole is in place.The LED detect a changing pattern of fight,converts the pattern into an electronic signal,and sends the signal to the computer through wires in a cable that goes out of the mouse body.This cable is the tail that helps give the mouse its name.The computer interprets the signal to tell it where to position the Cursor on the computer screen.

So far we have only discussed the basic computer mouse that most of you probably have or have used.One problem with this design is that the mouse gets dirty as the ball rolls over the surface and picks up dirt.Eventually you have to clean your mouse. The newer optical mice avoid this problem by having no moving parts.

16, Most computer users want to know how the computer mouse works.

A) Right

B) Wrong

C) Not mentioned

17, According to the author,general computer users need not to know how the computer mouse was invented.

Waste Not,Want Not

1 Bob and Clara Darlington,who own and run a farm in the North of England,have alwayslooked for new ways

of making money out of the produce they grow.Their SUCCESS began when theyestablished a shop on their

farm,so that people could come and buy fresh vegetables directly fromthem.

2 The business was an immediate SUCCESS,and soon scored top marks in a competition set upby the Farm

Retail Association to find the best farm shop in the country.The Association's inspectorsfound the

Darlingtons'shop offered excellent service and value for money as well as quality fruit andvegetable.

3 Clara Darlington is a trained chef and,in addition to a range of home-grown foods andother local produce,she

began offering a variety of prepared meals which she had made herself inthe farmhouse kitchen.A small cafe

alongside the farm shop was soon added,with everything thatvisitors could taste on the menu also being for sale

in the shop.

4 Clara admits that starting the business was expensive,and she has worked very hard,butmaintains that if the

product is good,the public recognize this and buy it."I aim to offer the highestquality to our customers,whether

they come in for a loaf of bread,or take a whole dinner-partymenu.I take it as a compliment(恭维)if people take

home one of my dishes to serve to their family and friends and get away with pretending they made it

themselves."

5 So it was that the couple realized that they had a surplus of misshapen or damaged vegetables grown on the

farm which were unsuitable for selling in the shop.Clara,not wishing to see themget thrown away,decided to

turn them into soup.

6 The soup met with the immediate approval of customers to the shop and Clara now producesten different

varieties.She spent much of the summer traveling up and down to London by rail,doing presentations of the

soups.As a result,they are now served in first-class railway restaurant carsbelonging to three companies as well

as being stocked by a number of high-class London stores.

第一篇 Pop Music in Africa

Young musicians in African countries are creating a new kind of pop music. The tunes and the rhythms of their music combine African traditions with various forms of music popular today, such as hip-hop, rap, rock, jazz, or reggae. The result is music that may sound familiar to listeners anywhere in the world, but at the same time is distinctly African. It is different also in another way: Many of the songs are very serious and they deal with important social or political issues in Africa today.

61阅读提醒您本文地址:

Eric Wainaina is one of these African musicians. He grew up in Nairobi, Kenya, in a family of musicians. As a teenager, he listened to pop music from the United States, and later he moved to Boston to study at the Berklee College of Music. Now he has produced a CD in Kenya. Eric' s most popular song, ―Land of ? A Little Something'‖ is about Kenya' s problem of bribery, or paying others for illegal favors. He wants people to listen to his songs and think about how to make Kenya a better place to live.

Another musician who writes serious songs is Witness Mwaijaga from Tanzania. Her own experiences have helped her understand the suffering of many African women. At the age of fifteen she lost her home, but she was luckier than other homeless young people. She could make a living by writing songs and singing on the street. By the time she was eighteen years old, she had become a star. Her songs are written in rap or hip-hop style about the problems that she sees in Tanzania, especially AIDS and the lack of rights for women1.

Baaba Maal, from Senegal, also feels that pop music must go beyond entertainment. He says that in Senegal, storytellers have always been important people. In the past, they were the ones who kept the history of their people alive. Baaba believes that songwriters now have a similar responsibility. They must write about the world around them and help people understand how it could be better. The words of his songs are important, in fact. They speak of peace and cooperation among Africans, as well as the rights of women, love for one' s family, and saving the environment2.

One of South Africa' s most popular musicians is Brenda Fassie. She is sometimes compared to Madonna, the American pop star, because she likes to shock people in her shows. But she also likes to make people think. She became famous in the 1980s for her simple pop songs against apartheid. Now that apartheid has ended, her songs are about other issues in South African culture and life. To sing about these, she uses local African 5

ab测试 2012年度全国职称英语等级考试全真模拟试题(综合类A+B+C级含答案)

languages and a new pop style called kwaito.

In recent years, people outside of Africa have also begun to listen to these young musicians. Through music, the younger generation of Africans are connecting with the rest of the world and, at the same time, influencing the rest of the world.

31, This passage is about how African pop music is________.

A) usually about love and romance

B) more serious than most pop music

C) popular with young people in Africa

D) mostly written just for entertainment

32, For people outside of Africa, African pop music is________.

A) the same as other pop music

B) not usually very interesting

C) entirely strange to them

D) both familiar and different

33, The musicians mentioned in this passage all________.

A) write about serious problems

B) studied in the United States

C) lost their homes at a young age

D) write songs in a new pop style

34, Eric Wainaina________.

A) prefers to sing in English

B) listened to traditional music

C) studied music in Boston

D) performs only in the United States

35, Witness Mwaijaga writes about the problems of women partly because________.

A) she has had a difficult life herself

B) there are many problems in Tanzania

C) she has had an easy life herself

D) there are no other women singers

第二篇 Road Trip Vacations

It's summer. In the United States, it's the season of swimming pools, barbeques, camping and road trips.

Road trip vacations where the car journey is part of the fun are especially popular with college students, who like to explore the country on wheels. These budget trips are ideal for students who often have plenty of free time but little money.

"Ever since I went to college, I've been traveling around a lot, exploring the country," said Austin Hawkins, a 19-year-old college student from New York. This summer, Hawkins and his friends have spent weekends traveling in New England.

The best part about car trips, said Hawkins, is that you can be spontaneous. "On a road trip, if you get interested in things you see along the way you can stop and explore."

Matt Roberts, a 20-year-old student from Ohio who drove to Montreal, Canada, agrees. "With road trips you don't have to plan in advance, you can just get into a car and drive."

Even with high gas prices, driving with friends is cheaper than flying. Roberts paid about 40 dollars for gas, but a round trip plane ticket would have cost nearly 400 dollars.

Driving trips first became popular in the 1920s. Newly paved roads and improved, cars made it possible to travel longer distances. Motels started appearing outside cities.

61阅读提醒您本文地址:

By the 1950s, car ownership became the norm. Construction of the US interstate highway system began in 1956 and motel and restaurant chains popped up everywhere making long distance trips easier. 6

ab测试 2012年度全国职称英语等级考试全真模拟试题(综合类A+B+C级含答案)

Today, the US has the highest car ownership rate in the world. Only 8 percent of American homes have no car, according to the most recent US census.

Though many college students don't own a car, most have access to one. On many of Hawkins' trips, they used a borrowed van.

Hawkins' most memorable road trip took place over spring break. He and two friends drove from New York to New Orleans to volunteer, helping rebuild the city after Hurricane Katrina hit it last July. They crossed the country in two days and slept in their car in church parking lots.

Roberts' road trip to Canada last winter was even more eventful. Upon arriving in Montreal, they were lost in a blizzard and shivering in the -25°cold. To find their hotel, they turned on a laptop and drove around in circles until they found a spot with wireless Internet coverage.

"I know we should have planned better, but we're young. Now, when I see those guys I always say: 'Remember when we were lost in the snow storm!' I'll never forget that."

36, Who are road trip vacations especially popular with?

A College students who like to travel on wheels.

B Teachers who have plenty of free time but little money

C Volunteers who want to help rebuild New Orleans.

D Americans who have no cars.

37, What will Hawkins do when he sees something interesting on a road trip?

A He will turn back.

B He will drive around.

C He will stop to explore.

D He will stop exploring.

38, When did motels suddenly appear everywhere?

A After the work to build the interstate highway system started.

B When driving trips became popular.

C After many roads were paved.

D After new cars were made.

39, Which of the following words can best describe Hawkins' trip to New Orlends?

A Eventful.

B Colorful.

C Delightful.

D Unforgettable

40, The word ―blizzard‖ in paragraph 12 could be best replaced by

A snow storm.

B hurricane.

C mist.

D fog

第三篇 Why So Many Children

In many of the developing countries in Africa and Asia, the population is growing fast. The reason for this is simple: Women in these countries have a high birth rate—from 3. 0 to 7. 0children per woman. The majority of these women are poor, without the food or resources to care for their families. Why do they have many so children? Why don't they limit the size of their families? The answer may be that they often have no choice. There are several reasons for this.

One reason is economic. In a traditional agricultural economy, large families are helpful. Having more children means having more workers in the fields and someone to take care of the parents in old age1. In an 7

ab测试 2012年度全国职称英语等级考试全真模拟试题(综合类A+B+C级含答案)

industrial economy, the situation is different. Many children do not help a family; instead, they are an expense. Thus, industrialization has generally brought down the birth rate. This was the case in Italy, which was industrialized quite recently and rapidly. In the early part of the twentieth century, Italy was a poor, largely agricultural country with a high birth rate. After World War II, Italy' s economy was rapidly modernized and industrialized. By the end of the century, the birth rate had dropped to 1. 3 children per woman, the world' s lowest.

However, the economy is not the only important factor that influences birth rate. Saudi Arabia, for example, does not have an agriculture-based economy, and it has one of the highest per capita incomes in the world. Nevertheless, it also has a very high birth rate (7. 0). Mexico and Indonesia, on the other hand, are poor countries, with largely agricultural economies, but they have recently reduced their population growth.

Clearly, other factors are involved. The most important of these is the condition of women. A high birth rate almost always goes together with lack of education and low status for women. 2 This would explain the high birth rate of Saudi Arabia. There, the traditional culture gives women little education or independence and few possibilities outside the home. On the other hand, the improved condition of women in Mexico, Thailand, and Indonesia explains the decline in birth rates in these countries. Their governments have taken measures to provide more education and opportunities for women.

Another key factor in the birth rate is birth control. Women may want to limit their families but have no way to do so. In countries where governments have made birth control easily available and inexpensive, birth rates have gone down. This is the case in Singapore, Sri Lanka, and India, as well as in Indonesia, Thailand, Mexico, and Brazil. In these countries, women have also been provided with health care and help in planning their families.

These trends show that an effective program to reduce population growth does not have to depend on better economic conditions. 3 It can be effective if it aims to help women and meet their needs. Only then, in fact, does it have any real chance of success.

My Life at Renda

I learned very quickly that being a teaching assistant (TA) at the University of Iowa would be different from being a teacher at Renmin University.

________ (46) Eyes staring, mouths open, students examined my big nose, while I was writing my name on the blackboard.

At Iowa, when my first classes began, half of my students still hadn't arrived. When everyone finally found a seat, ringing cell-phones and loud yawns (哈欠) interrupted my opening remarks. It is not that American students were disrespectful. ________ (47) They were, however, far more skeptical than the students I had at Renda. The truth is I couldn't fault them for their skepticism. Under-graduates at large US universities - especially freshmen and sophomores - often have several classes a semester handled by TAs. In some cases, the TA sets the course content. ________ (48) Most have good intentions, but very few are as effective as professors.

Every teacher has to confront obstacles to learning - no matter what the culture. Students who talk during lectures, students who cheat, students who question the grade they get for a paper or project - dealing with these is all part of the job. ________ (49)

The difference, I think, is that in the US I had to swallow more of my pride. ________ (50)

I had a responsibility to teach them, of course, but I had to do so indirectly -as a guide who himself had a few things to learn from the students.

A In my students' minds, I had little to offer them, except perhaps some sample questions for the mid-term exam.

B In others, the TA works as a grader and discussion leader

C I encountered these in China, and I faced them in the US

D On the other hand, being taught by a graduate student is not necessarily bad.

E Most were polite, or at least, indifferent

Keep on Fighting

Turning once again to the question of invasion, I would observe that there has never been a period in all these long centuries of which we boast when an absolute guarantee against invasion, still less against serious raids, could have been given to our people. In the days of Napoleon the same wind which would have carried his transports across the Channel might have driven away the blockading fleet. There was always the chance, and it is that chance which has excited and befooled the imaginations of many continental tyrants. Many are the tales that are told. We are assured that novel methods will be adopted, and when we see the originality of malice, the ingenuity of aggression, which our enemy displays, we may certainly prepare ourselves for every kind of novel stratagem and every kind of brutal and treacherous man oeuvre. I think that no idea is so outlandish that it should not be considered and viewed with a searching, but at the same time, I hope, with a steady eye.

We must never forget the solid assurances of sea power and those which belong to air power if it can be locally exercised. I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, we shall prove ourselves once again able to defend our island home, to ride out the storm of war, and to outlive the menace of tyranny, if necessary for years, if necessary alone. At any rate, that is what we are going to try to do. That is the resolve of His Majesty's government - every man of them. That is the will of parliament and the nation. The British empire and the French republic, linked together in their cause and in their need, will defend to the death their native soil, aiding each other like good comrades to the utmost of their strength. Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous states have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag or fail.

Washoe Learned American Sign Language

An animal that influenced scientific thought has died. A chimpanzee named Washoe and born in Africa died of natural causes late last month at the age of 42 at a research center in the American state of Washington. Washoe had become known in the scientific community and around the world for her ability to use American Sign Language. She was said to be the first non-human to learn a human language. Her skills also led to debate about primates and their ability to understand language.

Research scientists Allen and Beatrix Gardner began teaching Washoe sign language in 1966. In 1969, the Gardners described Washoe‘s progress in a scientific report. The people who experimented with Washoe said she grew to understand about 250 words. For example, Washoe made signs to communicate when it was time to eat. She could request foods like apples and bananas. She also asked questions like, ―Who is coming to play?‖ Once 13

ab测试 2012年度全国职称英语等级考试全真模拟试题(综合类A+B+C级含答案)

the news about Washoe spread, many language scientists began studies of their own into this new and exciting area of research. The whole direction of primate research changed.

However, critics argued Washoe only learned to repeat sign language movements from watching her teachers. They said she had never developed true language skills. Even now, there are some researchers who suggest that primates learn sign language only by memory, and perform the signs only for prizes. Yet Washoe‘s keepers disagree. Roger Fouts is a former student of the Gardners. He took Washoe to a research center in Ellensburg, Washington. There, Washoe taught sign language to three younger chimpanzees, which are still alive.

Scientists like private researcher Jane Goodall believe Washoe provided new information about the mental workings of chimpanzees. Today, there are not as many scientists studying language skills with chimps. Part of the reason is that this kind of research takes a very long time.

Debate continues about chimps understanding of human communication. Yet, one thing is sure — Washoe changed popular ideas about the possibilities of animal intelligence.

第一篇 Going Her Own Way

When she was twelve, Mafia made her first important decision about the course of her life. She decided that she wanted to continue her education. Most girls from middle-class families chose to stay home after primary school, though some attended private Catholic ―finishing‖ schools. There they learned a little about music, art, needlework, and how to make polite conversation. This was not the sort of education that interested Maria — or her mother. By this time, she had begun to take her studies more seriously. She read constantly and brought her books everywhere. One time she even brought her math book to the theater and tried to study in the dark.

Maria knew that she wanted to go on learning in a serious way. That meant attending the public high school, something that very few girls did. In Italy at the time, there were two types of high schools: the ―classical‖ 14

ab测试 2012年度全国职称英语等级考试全真模拟试题(综合类A+B+C级含答案)

schools and the ―technical‖ schools. In the classical schools, the students followed a very traditional program of studies, with courses in Latin and Greek language and literature, and Italian literature and history1. The few girls who continued studying after primary school usually chose these schools.

Maria, however, wanted to attend a technical school. The technical schools were more modern than the classical schools and they offered courses in modem languages, mathematics, science, and accounting2. Most people — including Maria' s father — believed that girls would never be able to understand these subjects. Furthermore, they did not think it was proper for girls to study them.

Maria did not care if it was proper or not. Math and science were the subjects that interested her most. But before she could sign up for the technical school, she had to win her father' s approval. She finally did, with her mother' s help, though for many years after, there was tension in the family. Maria' s father continued to oppose her plans, while her mother helped her.

In 1883, at age thirteen, Maria entered the ―Regia Scuola Tecnica Michelangelo Buonarroti‖in Rome. Her experience at this school is difficult for us to imagine. Though the courses included modem subjects, the teaching methods were very traditional. Learning consisted of memorizing long lists of facts and repeating them back to the teacher. Students were not supposed to ask questions or think for themselves in any way. Teachers were very demanding, discipline in the classroom was strict, and punishment was severe for those who failed to achieve or were disobedient.

31, Maria wanted to attend________.

A) private ―finishing‖ school

B) school with Latin and Greek

C) technical high school

D) school for art and music

32, In those days, most Italian girls________.

A) went to classical schools

B) went to ―finishing‖ schools

C) did not go to high school

D) went to technical schools

33, You can infer from this passage that________.

A) girls usually attended private primary schools

B) only boys usually attended technical schools

C) girls did not like going to school

D) only girls attended classical schools

34, Maria' s father probably________.

A) had very modern views about women

B) had very traditional views about women

C) had no opinion about women

D) thought women could not learn Latin

35, High school teachers in Italy in those days were________.

A) very modern

B) very intelligent

C) quite scientific

D) quite strict

第二篇 Spoilt for Choice

Choice, we are given to1 believe, is a right. In daily life, people have come to expect endless situations about which they are required to make decisions one way or another. In the main2, these are just irksome moments at work which demand some extra energy or brainpower, or during lunch breaks like choosing which type of coffee to order or indeed which coffee shop to go to. But sometimes selecting one option as opposed to another can 15

have serious or lifelong repercussions. More complex decision?making is then either avoided, postponed, or put into the hands of the army of professionals, Iifestyle coaches, lawyers, advisors, and the like. waiting to lighten the emotional burden for a fee2. But for a good many4 people in the world, in rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion, created by companies and advertisers wanting to sell their wares5.

61阅读提醒您本文地址:

The main impact of endless choice in people?s lives is anxiety. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly simple. Easy access to a wide range of consumer goods induces a sense of powerlessness, even paralysis, in many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away6, or just buying an unsuitable item that is not really wanted in order to solve the problem and reduce the unease. Recent surveys in the United Kingdom have shown that a sizeable proportion of electrical goods bought per household are not really needed. The advertisers and the shareholders of the manufacturers are, nonetheless, satisfied.

It is not just their availability that is the problem, but the speed with which new versions of products come on the market. Advances in design and production mean that new items are almost ready by the time that goods hit the shelves7. Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The classic example is computers which are almost obsolete once they are bought. At first, there were only one or two available from a limited number of manufacturers, but now there are many companies all with not only their own products but different versions of the same machine. This makes selection a problem. Gone are the days when one could just walk with ease. into a shop and buy one thing8; no choice, no anxiety.

The plethora of choice is not limited to consumer items. With the greater mobility of people around the world, people have more choice about where they want to live and work — a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, nations migrated across huge swathes of the earth in search of food, adventure, and more hospitable environments. Whole nations crossed continents and changed the face of history, So the mobility of people is nothing new. The creation of nation states and borders9 effectively slowed this process down. But what is different now is the speed at which migration is happening.

36, What is the difference between the decision to shop in a certain supermarket and the decision to drop out of college according to the first paragraph?

A) The former is a right while the latter is not.

B) The latter has more impact on life.

C) The former may happen for many times in life.

D) The latter requires a fee.

37, When people can not easily decide what to buy, what is the least possible choice?

A) Give up.

B) Walk away.

C) Buy an unsuitable item.

D) Seek advice.

38, Why do products have short lifespan nowadays?

A) They are more often replaced with better ones.

B) They have worse quality.

C) They have too many versions.

D) Computer technology advances too fast.

39, How does migration differ from the past?

A) People now migrate across the whole earth.

B) People now migrate for better life.

C) People now have more choice about where to migrate.

D) People now migrate for better environment.

40, Which is the best summary of the writer's attitude towards choice in a commercial society?

A) More choice, more anxiety.

B) Better more choice than no choice. 16

C) Better no choice than more choice.

D) All choice is not easy.

第三篇 Narrow Escape

We had left the hut too late that morning. When we stepped outside, the sky beyond the mountains to our east was already livid with colour. 1 It meant the day would be a hot one, and the warmth would loosen rocks that were gripped by ice.

As soon as we stepped out on to the face, it became obvious this was going to be an awkward route. The main problem was talus, the debris that collects on mountainsides. Talus is despised by mountaineers for two reasons. First, because it can easily be pushed off on to you by people climbing above. And second, because it makes every step you take insecure.

For about 30 minutes we moved steadily up the face. The rock was in poor condition. When I tried to haul myself up on a block of it, it would pull towards me, like a drawer opening. My hands became progressively wetter and colder. 2Then came a shout. ―Cailloux! Cailloux!‖ I heard yelled from above, in a female voice. The words echoed down towards us. I looked up to see where they had come from.

There were just two rocks at first, leaping and bounding down the face towards us, once cannoning off each other in mid-air. And then the air above suddenly seemed alive with falling rocks, humming through the air and filling it with noise. Crack, went each one as it leapt off the rock face, then hum-humhum as it moved through the air, then crack again. The pause between the cracks lengthened each time, as the rocks jumped further and further. I continued to gaze up at the rocks as they fell and skipped towards me. A boy who had been a few years above me at school had taught me never to look up during a rockfall. ―Why? Because a rock in your face is far less pleasant than a rock on your helmet‖ , he told us. ―Face in, always face in. ‖

61阅读提醒您本文地址:

I heard Toby, my partner on the mountain that day, shouting at me. I looked across, he was safe beneath an overhanging canopy of rock. I could not understand him. Then I felt a thump, and was tugged backwards and round, as though somebody had clamped a heavy hand on my shoulder and turned me to face them. A rock had hit the lid of my rucksack. 3

I looked up again. A rock was heading down straight towards me. Instinctively, I leant backwards and arched my back out from the rock to try to protect my chest. What about my fingers, though, I thought: they' 11 be crushed flat if it hits them, and never get down. Then I heard a crack directly in front of me, and a tug at my trousers, and a yell from Toby. ―Are you all right? That went straight through you. ‖ The rock had passed through the hoop of my body, between my legs, missing me but snatching at my clothing as it went.

Toby and I spent the evening talking through the events of the morning: what if the big final stone hadn't leapt sideways, what if I'd been knocked off, would you have held me, would I have pulled you off? A more experienced mountaineer would probably have thought nothing of it. I knew I would not forget it.

41, Why was it ―too late‖ by the time they left the hut in the morning?

A) It would be uncomfortable climbing in hot weather.

B) The livid colour of the sky would hurt their eyes.

C) Rocks loosened by melting ice could be dangerous.

D) They wouldn't be able to walk on the melting ice.

42, The first reason given to explain why mountaineers hate talus is________.

A) that climbers above you might cause it to fall on you

B) that it allows people climbing above you to push off

C) that it makes people climbing above you feel insecure

D) that it can cause other people to push you off the mountain

43, What is likely to be the meaning of ―Cailloux‖ ?

A) Rocks are flying through the air.

B) Rocks are falling.

C) There are loose rocks on the ground ahead.

17

ab测试 2012年度全国职称英语等级考试全真模拟试题(综合类A+B+C级含答案)

D) There are rocks everywhere.

44, What is sarcastic in the words of the boy in paragraph four?

A) He didn't keep his ―face in‖.

B) Not every climber wears a helmet.

C) It is very difficult not to look up during a rockfall.

D) Being hit by a rock isn't ―pleasant‖ at all.

45, In what sense was Toby ―safe‖?

A) The overhanging rock would protect him from falling rocks.

B) He felt a hand on his shoulder.

C) His rucksack was protected.

D) He had hidden under a canopy.

I Know Just How You Feel

Do you feel sad? Happy? Angry? You may think that the way you show these emotions is unique. Well, think again. Even the expression of the most personal feelings can be classified, according to Mind Readingame, a DVD displaying every possible human emotion. It demonstrates 412 distinct ways in which we feel the first visual distionary of the human heart.

Attempts to classify expressions began in the mid-1800s, when Darwin divided the emtions into six types-anger, fear, sadness, disgust, surprise and enjoyment. _________(46) Every other feeling was thought to derive from Darwin's small group. More complex expressions of emotions were probably learned and therefore more specific to each culture. But now it is believed that many more facial expressions are shared worldwide. _________(47) The Mind Reading DVD is a systematic visual record of these expressions.

The project was conceived by a Cambridge professor as an aid for people with autism (孤独症), who have difficulty both reading and expressing emotions. But it quickly became apparent that it had broader uses. Actors and teachers, for example, need to understand a wide range of expressions. The professor and his research team first had to define an "emotion" _________(48) Using this definition, 1,512 emotion terms were identified and discussed. This list was eventually reduced to 412, from"afraid" to "wanting".

Once these emotions were defined and classified, a DVD seemed the clearest and most efficient way to display them. In Mind Reading, each expression is acted out by six different actors in three seconds. _________(49) The explanation for this is simple: we may find it difficult to describe emotions using words, but we instantly recognise one when we see it on someone's face. " It was really clear when the actors had got it right," says Cathy Collis, who directed the DVD." Although they were given some direstion," says Ms Collis, " the actors were not told which facial muscles they should move. " _________(50) For example, when someone feel contempt, you can't say for certain that their eyebrows always go down.

Someone who has tried to establish such rules is the American, Professor Paul Ekman, who has built a database of how the face moves for every emotion. The face can make 43 distinct muscle movements called " action units". These can be combined into more than 10, 000 visible facial shapes. Ekmen has written out a pattern of facial muscular movements to represent each emotion.

The Old Gate

In the Middle Ages the vast majority of European cities had walls around them. This was partly for defensive reasons but another 51 was the need to keep out anyone 52 as undesirable, like people with contagious

53. The Old City of London gates were all demolished by the end of the 18th century. The last of London?s gates was 54 a century ago, but by a 55 of luck, it was never destroyed.

This gate is, in actual 56, not called a gate at all; its name is Temple Bar, and it marked the boundary 57 the Old City of London and Westminster. In 1878 the Council of London took the Bar down, numbered the stones and put the gate in 58 because its design was 59 it was expensive to maintain and it was blocking the 60.

The Temple Bar Trust was 61 in the 1970?s with the intention of returning the gate home. The 62 of the Trust is the preservation of the nation?s 63 heritage. Transporting the gate will mean 64 pulling it down, stone by stone, removing and rebuilding it near St Paul?s Cathedral. Most of the facade of the gate will probably be replaced, though there is a good 65 that the basic structure will be sound. The hardest job of all, however, will be to recreate the statues of the monarchs that once stood on top of the gate.

Computer Mouse 21

ab测试 2012年度全国职称英语等级考试全真模拟试题(综合类A+B+C级含答案)

The basic computer mouse is an amazingly clever invention with a relatively simple design that allows US to point at things on the computer and it is very productive.Think of all the things you can do with a mouse like selecting text for copying and pasting, drawing,and even scrolling on the page with the newer mice with the wheel.Most of US use the computer mouse daily without

stopping to think how it works until it gets dirty and we have to learn how to clean it. we learn to

point at things before we learn to speak,So the mouse is a very natural pointing device.Other computer pointing devices include light pens,graphics tablets and touch screens,but the mouse is

still our workhorse.

The computer mouse was invented in 1964 by Douglas Englehart of Stanford University.As computer screens became more popular and arrow keys were used to move around a body of text,it became clear that a pointing device that allowed easier motion through the text and even selection of text would be very useful.The introduction of the mouse,with the Apple Lisa computer in 1983, really started the computer public on the road to relying on the mouse for routine computer tasks.

How does the mouse work? we have to start at the bottom,so think upside down for now.It all starts with the mouse ball.As me mouse ball in the bottom of the mouse rolls over the mouse pad, it presses against and turns two shafts.The shafts are connected to wheels with several small holes in them.The wheels have a pair of small electronic light—emitting devices called light—emitting diodes(LED) mounted on either side.One LED sends a light beam to the LED on the other side. As the wheels spin and a hole rotates by, the light beam gets through to the LED on the other side. But a moment later the light beam is blocked until the next hole is in place.The LED detect a changing pattern of fight,converts the pattern into an electronic signal,and sends the signal to the computer through wires in a cable that goes out of the mouse body.This cable is the tail that helps give the mouse its name.The computer interprets the signal to tell it where to position the Cursor on the computer screen.

So far we have only discussed the basic computer mouse that most of you probably have or have used.One problem with this design is that the mouse gets dirty as the ball rolls over the surface and picks up dirt.Eventually you have to clean your mouse. The newer optical mice avoid this problem by having no moving parts.

Washoe Learned American Sign Language

61阅读提醒您本文地址:

An animal that influenced scientific thought has died. A chimpanzee named Washoe and born in Africa died of natural causes late last month at the age of 42 at a research center in the American state of Washington. Washoe had become known in the scientific community and around the world for her ability to use American Sign Language. She was said to be the first non-human to learn a human language. Her skills also led to debate about primates and their ability to understand language.

Research scientists Allen and Beatrix Gardner began teaching Washoe sign language in 1966. In 1969, the Gardners described Washoe‘s progress in a scientific report. The people who experimented with Washoe said she grew to understand about 250 words. For example, Washoe made signs to communicate when it was time to eat. She could request foods like apples and bananas. She also asked questions like, ―Who is coming to play?‖ Once the news about Washoe spread, many language scientists began studies of their own into this new and exciting area of research. The whole direction of primate research changed.

However, critics argued Washoe only learned to repeat sign language movements from watching her teachers. They said she had never developed true language skills. Even now, there are some researchers who suggest that primates learn sign language only by memory, and perform the signs only for prizes. Yet Washoe‘s keepers disagree. Roger Fouts is a former student of the Gardners. He took Washoe to a research center in Ellensburg, Washington. There, Washoe taught sign language to three younger chimpanzees, which are still alive.

Scientists like private researcher Jane Goodall believe Washoe provided new information about the mental workings of chimpanzees. Today, there are not as many scientists studying language skills with chimps. Part of the reason is that this kind of research takes a very long time.

Debate continues about chimps understanding of human communication. Yet, one thing is sure — Washoe changed popular ideas about the possibilities of animal intelligence.

第一篇 The Family

The structure of a family takes different forms around the word and even in the same society. The family's form changes as it adapts to changing social and economic influences. Until recently, the most common form in North America was the nuclear family, consisting of a married couple with their minor children. The nuclear family is an independent unit. It must be prepared to fend for itself. Individual family members strongly depend on one another. There is little help from outside the family in emergencies. Elderly relatives of a nuclear family are cared for only if it is possible for the family to do so. In North America, the elderly often do not live with the family; they live in retirement communities and nursing homes.

There are many parallels between the nuclear family in industrial societies, such as North America, and of families in societies such as that of the Inuits, who live in harsh environments. The nuclear family structure is well adapted to a life of mobility. In harsh conditions, mobility allows the family to hunt for food. For North Americans, the hunt for jobs and improved social status also requires mobility.

The nuclear family was not always the North American standard. In a more agrarian time, the small nuclear family was usually part of a larger extended family. This might have included grandparents, mother and father, brothers and sisters, uncles, aunts, and cousins. In North America today, there is a dramatic rise in the number of single-parent households. Twice as many households in the United States are headed by divorced, separated, or never-married individuals as are comprised of nuclear families. The structure of the family, not just in North America, but throughout the world, continues to change as it adapts to changing conditions.

31. Another good title for this passage would be________

A) What Makes a Family?

B) The Life of the Inuits.

C) Living with Hardship.

D) The Failure of the Nuclear Family.

32. A nuclear family is defined as________.

C) pointing out similarities

D) pointing out differences

35. The word mobility means________.

A) money

B) readiness to move

C) organization

D) skill

第二篇 Tales of the Terrible Past

It is not the job of fiction writers to analyze and interpret history. Yet by writing about the past in a vivid and compelling manner, storytellers can bring earlier eras to life and force readers to consider them seriously. Among those taking on the task of recounting history are some black writers who attempt to examine slavery from different points of view.

Nobel Prize-winning author Toni Morrison deals specifically with the legacy of slavery in her book Beloved. The main character in this novel, a former slave called Sethe, lives in Ohio in the years following the Civil War, but she cannot free herself from her horrific memories. Through a series of flashbacks and bitter reminiscences, the reader learns how and why Sethe escaped from the plantation she had lived on; the fate of her husband, who also tried to escape; and finally, what happened to the child called Beloved. Morrison's scenes of torture and murder are vivid and strongly convey the desperation of the slaves and the cruelty of their owners.

Charles Johnson's Middle Passage approaches slavery from a different, yet no less violent, vantage point. His main character, Rutherford Calhoun, is a ne'er-do-well free black American who stows away on a slave ship bound for Africa to collect its ―cargo‖. Put to work after he is discovered, Calhoun witnesses firsthand the appalling conditions in which the captured Africans are transported. When they finally rebel and take over the ship, he finds himself in the middle — and is forced to come to terms with who he is and what his values are. Neither Beloved nor Middle Passage is an easy read, but both exemplify African American writers' attempts to bring significant historical situations alive for a modem audience.

练习:

36. This passage is mostly about________.

A) the causes of slavery in America

B) black writers in the late 20th century

C) why Morrison and Johnson wrote the books they did

D) two novels that deal with slavery

37. Beloved is set________.

A) on a slave ship

C) in Ohio after the Civil War

38. The writer seems to feel that________.

A) everyone should read Morrison's and Johnson's novels

B) the books are worthwhile but challenging C) black writers should ignore racial issues D) we will repeat the past if we don't learn about it 39. The writer emphasizes that the two books are similar in their________. B) treatment of women C) criticism of whites D) portrayal of violence 40. The word appalling means________. A) use of flashbacks

A) terrible

B ) surprising

C) guilty

D) unrealistic

第三篇 Seeing the World Centuries Ago

If you enjoy looking through travel books by such familiar authors as Arthur Frommer or Eugene Fodor, it will not surprise you to learn that travel writing has a long and venerable history. Almost from the earliest annals of recorded time individuals have found ready audiences for their accounts of journeys to strange and exotic locales.

One of the earliest travel writers, a Greek geographer and historian named Strabo, lived around the time of Christ. Though Strabo is known to have traveled from east of the Black Sea west to Italy and as far south as Ethiopia, he also used details gleaned from other writers to extend and enliven his accounts. His multivolumed work Geography provides the only surviving account of the cities, peoples, customs, and geographical peculiarities of the whole known world of his time.

Two other classic travel writers, the Italian Marco Polo and the Moroccan Ibn Battutah, lived in roughly the same time period. Marco Polo traveled to China with his father and uncle in about A. D. 1275 and remained there 16 or 17 years, visiting several other countries during his travels. When Marco returned to Italy he dictated his memoirs, including stories he had heard from others, to a scribe, with the resulting book Il milione being an instant success. Though difficult to attest to the accuracy of all he says, Marco's book impelled Europeans to begin their great voyages of exploration.

61阅读提醒您本文地址:

Ibn Battutah's interest in travel began on his required Muslim journey to Mecca in 1325, and during his lifetime he journeyed through all the countries where Islam held sway. 3 His travel book the Rihlah is a personalized account of desert journeys, court intrigues, and even the effect of the Black Death in the various lands he visited. In almost 30 years of traveling it is estimated that Ibn Battutah covered more than 75, 000 miles.

41. This passage is mostly about________.

A) why people find travel writing exciting

B) the literary style of three early travel writers

C) where three early travel writers went and wrote about

D) how to write a travel book

42. Ibn Battutah traveled________.

A) to China

B) to Ethiopia

C) throughout the Muslim world

My personal view is that mothers should be 53 to work if they wish. 54 we like it or not, there are a number of mothers who just have to work. There are those who have invested such a big part of their lives in 55 a career that they cannot afford to see it lost. Then there are many who must work out of pure 56 necessity. Many mothers are not 57 out to be full?time parents. After a few months at home with a much loved infant, they feel trapped and isolated.

There are a number of options when it comes to choosing childcare. These 58 from child minders and nannies through to Granny or the kind lady across the street. In reality, however, many parents don?t have any 59; they have to accept anything they can get. Be prepared!

Travel Across Africa

For six hours we shot through the barren (荒芜的) landscape of the Karoo desert in South Africa. Just rocks and sand and baking sun. Knowing our journey was ending, Daniel and I just wanted to remember all we had seen and done. He used a camera. I used words. I had already finished three notebooks and was into the fourth, a

beautiful leather notebook I‘d bought in a market in Mozambique.

Southern Africa was full of stories and visions. We were almost drunk on sensations. The roaring of the water at Victoria Falls, the impossible silence of the Okavango Delta in Botswana.

And then the other things: dogs in the streets, whole families in Soweto living in one room, a kilometre from clean water.

As we drove towards the setting sun, a quietness fell over us. The road was empty-we hadn't seen another car for hours. And as I drove, something caught my eye,

something moving close enough to touch them, to smell their hot breath. I didn't know how long they had been there next to us.

I shouted to Dan: "Look! but he was in a deep sleep, his camera lying useless by his feet. They raced the car for a few seconds, then disappeared far behind us, a memory of heroic forms in the red landscape.

When Daniel woke up an hour later I told him what had happened.

"Wild horses?" he said. "Why didn't you wake me up, Sophia?"

McGrady's Spectacular Art

1 When Tracy McGrady is healthy, his play can be so beautiful that even his own Teammates on the court cannot help but admire it - in the middle of a game.

2 "It's hard for me, because I'm a fan of basketball," Houston point guard (负责组织进攻飞人后卫) Rafer Alston told The Houston Chromcle (记事) newspaper after McGrady's 44-point performance against Utah on January 5. "When he's shooting the ball like that, a lot of times I'm standing there watching and, all of a sudden,

31

ab测试 2012年度全国职称英语等级考试全真模拟试题(综合类A+B+C级含答案)

the other team's getting the ball and going on a fast break (快攻), and I'm getting yelled at by the coach." Indeed, McGrady's body control, his energy, his shooting - watching these is like watching an artist at work, blending colors, constructing sentences, or playing music.

3 Unfortunately, McGrady, 27, hasn't always been on the job. Already this season, he's missed seven games with back spasms (痉挛). After Yao Ming was injured on Dec. 23, it appeared Houston would be without both of its stars. McGrady, however, returned three days later and has been playing well ever since, scoring more than 30 points in each of the last six games, as of Tuesday. Houston can't seem to get on without him. When McGrady was injured, the Rockets won two and lost five.

4 "Listen, there are only four or five people on the entire planet that can do the thing she can do with the basketball," forward Shane Batter said of McGrady. "From a fan's perspective - and we're fans even though we're players - it's really fun to watch him do that. From a player's perspective, his game (风格) can affect the entire team. No question We see him, and we get excited, and that pumps us up. He keeps making shots, and suddenly it seems to become easier for everybody."

5 But it won't, really. Houston has just begun a tough time. Four of the next seven games will be played away from Houston. Six of the games will be against teams with winning records. Opponents will double-team (双人看守) McGrady in an attempt to dull the impact of his art. Instead of watching, McGrady's teammates will need to create a little art of their own.

第一篇 Three Ways to Become More Creative

Most people believe they don't have much imagination. They are wrong. Everyone has imagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to access it. Creativity isn't always connected with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time routinely think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind! Here are three techniques to help you.

This technique involves taking unrelated ideas and trying to find links between them. First, think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image, word, idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all the ideas/words associated with candles: light, fire, matches, wax: night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the ideas to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy a friend an original present; you could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for the night.

Imagine that normal limitations don't exist. You have as much time/space/money, etc. as you want. Think about your goal and the new possibilities. If, for example, your goal is to learn to ski, you can now practice skiing every day of your life (because you have the time and the money). Now adapt this to reality. Maybe you can practice skiing every day in December, or every Monday in January.

Look at the situation from a different point of view. Good negotiators(谈判者) use this technique in business, and so do writers. Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in their books. They ask questions: what does this character want? Why can't she get it? What changes must she make to get what she wants? What does she dream about? If your goal involves other people, put yourself "in their shoes". The best, fishermen think like fish!

31, According to the passage, when we become adults

A. most of us are no longer creative.

B. we are not as imaginative as children.

C. we can still learn to be more creative.

D. we are unwilling to be ―creative‖.

32. According to the first technique, if you need to solve a problem

A. you should link it with candles.

B. you could find an image and try to link it with the problem.

C. you have to think of buying a present for a friend.

D. you should link it with as many words as possible.

33. The second technique suggests that you just imagine

A. you have every resource to achieve your goal.

B. setting a goal is as simple as skiing.

C. new possibilities will soon appear.

D. December and January are the best months for skiing.

34. The phrase "put yourself in their shoes' in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to

A. dress yourself like them.

B. think as they would.

C. do as they ask you to.

D. put on their shoes,

35. We learn from the third technique that a good salesman should ask himself:

A. what do I usually do?

B. what did my boss tell me to do?

C. what are my customers' needs?

33

第二篇 Oseola McCarty

LATE ONE SUNDAY AFTERNOON in September 1999, Oseola McCarty, an elderly cleaning lady passed away in the little wooden frame house where she had lived and worked most of her life. It may seem like an ordinary end to a humble life, but there was something quite 1exceptional about this woman.

In the summer of 1995, McCarty gave $150, 000, most of the money she had saved throughout her life, to the University of Southern Mississippi in her hometown. The money was to help other African Americans through university. She had started her savings habit as a young child when she would return from school to clean and iron for money which she would then save.

She led a simple, frugal existence, never spending on anything but her most basic needs. 2 Her bank also advised her on investing her hard-earned savings.

When she retired, she decided that she wanted to use the money to give children of limited means the opportunity to go to university. 3 She had wanted to become a nurse, but had to leave school to look after ill relatives and work. When asked why she had given her life savings away, she replied, ―I'm giving it away so that children won't have to work so hard, like I did. ‖ After news of her donation hit the media, over 600 donations were made to the scholarship fund. One was given by media executive, Ted Turner, who reputedly gave a billion dollars.

61阅读提醒您本文地址:

She didn't want any fuss made over her gift, but the news got out and she was invited all over the United States to talk to people. Wherever she went, people would come up to her to say a few words or to just touch her. She met the ordinary and the famous, President Clinton included. In the last few years of her life, before she died of cancer, McCarty was given over 300 awards: she was honoured by the United Nations and received the Presidential Citizen‘s Medal. Despite having no real education, she found herself with two honorary doctorates: one from the University of Southern Mississippi and the other from Harvard University. Her generosity was clearly an inspiration to many and proof that true selflessness does exist.

36. This woman shocked and inspired the world because________.

A) she had managed to save so much money B) she gave her money to African Americans C) she gave her life savings to help others through university D) she only spent money on cheap things A) she had ironed and washed clothes all her life B) she had worked hard, saved hard and invested carefully C) she had opened a good bank account D) she knew how to make money 37.

第三篇 “Lucky” Lord Lucan — Alive or Dead

On 8th November 1974 Lord Lucan, a British aristocrat, vanished. The day before, his children's nanny had been brutally murdered and his wife had been attacked too. To this day the British public are still interested in the murder case because Lucan has never been found. Now, over 30 years later, the police have reopened the case, hoping that new DNA techniques will help solve this murder mystery. 1

People suspected that ―Lucky‖, as he was called by friends, wanted to kill his wife he no longer lived with. They say that Lucan entered his old house and in the dark, killed the nanny by mistake. His estranged wife heard noises, came downstairs and was also attacked, but managed to escape. Seven months after the murder, a jury concluded that Lucan had killed the nanny.

What happened next is unclear, but there are several theories which fall into one of three categories: he may have killed himself, he could have escaped or he might have been killed. It appears that the night after the murder, ―Lucky‖ borrowed a car and drove it, Lucan's friend Aspinall said in an interview that he thought Lucan had committed suicide by sinking his boat in the English Channel.

Another version of events says that ―Lucky‖ left the blood-soaked car on the coast and took a ferry to France. 2 He was met there by someone who drove him to safety in another country. However, after a time, his rescuers became worried that they would become involved in the murder too and so Lucan was killed.

A further fascinating theory was made in the book Dead Lucky by Duncan MacLaughlin, a former detective. He believes that Lucan travelled to Goa, India, where he assumed the identity of a Mr. Barry Haplin. Lucan then lived in Goa till his death in 1996. In the end the claim turned out to be a case of mistaken identity. The man who died in 1996 was really Haplin, an ex-schoolteacher turned hippy. So what is the truth about ―Lucky‖? DNA testing has solved many murder cases, but who knows if it can close the book on this one. 3

41. The public are still interested in the investigation because________.

A) of the terrible murder

B) of the use of new DNA techniques

C) Lord Lucan has never been found

D) Loard Lucan was famous

42. It is thought that Lucan killed the nanny because________.

A) she was looking after the children

B) she was a friend of Lucan's

C) it was dark and he thought she was Lady Lucan

D) Loard Lucan thought the nanny stole his car

43. Aspinall thought Lucan killed himself by________.

A) jumping into water

B) jumping out of his house

C) sailing his boat

D) sinking his boat

44. Lucan could have been killed because people________.

A) didn't want the police to catch him

B) thought he might talk to the police about them if he was caught

C) were unhappy with him

Virtual Driver

Driving involves sharp eyes and keen ears,analyzing with a brain,and coordination between hands,feet and brain.A man has sharp eyes and keen ears,analyzes through his brain, and maintains coordination between his hands and brains.He can control a fast-moving cat with different parts of his body. (46) Apparently there isn‘t anyone in the driver‘s cab,but there is in fact a virtual driver.This virtual driver has eyes,brains,hands and feet too.The minicameras on each side of the Car are its eyes and are responsible for observing the road conditions ahead of it as well as the traffic to its left and fight.If you open the boot,you can see the most important part of the automatic driving system:a built-in computer The brain of the Car is responsible for calculating the speeds objects surrounding the car are moving at analyzing their position on the road,choosing the fight path,and giving orders to the wheel and the control system.

In comparison with the human brain,,However, it takes the world's best racecar driver at least one second to react, and this doesn‘t include time he needs to take action.

With its rapid reaction and accurate control,the virtual driver can reduce the accident rate on considerably.In this case,is it possible for US to let it have the wheel at any time and in any place? With its limited ability to recognize things, the car can now only travel on expressways.

The intelligent car determines its direction by the clear lines that mark the lanes clearly and recognizes vehicles according to their regular shapesThis being the case,people still have high hopes about driverless cars, and think highly intelligent cars are what the cars of the future should be like.

A Experts say that we cannot do that just yet.

B In the near future,intelligent cars will be put into commercial operation·

C This is the brain of the car.

D But how does an intelligent car control itself?

E It completes the processing of the images sent by the cameras within 100 milliseconds·

F However.it cannot recognize moving people and bicycles on ordinary roads that have no clear markings on them.

Why not eat breakfast

Breakfast is not only the most important meal of the day, but also the most neglected or skipped . common reasons for not eating breakfast include lack of time, not feeling hungry, traditional dislike for breakfast , and dieting.

Breakfast simply means the fast. Your body spends at least six to twelve hours each night in a fasting state. In the morning your body needs energy to rev up(转动起来)into high gear for the day’s work ahead.

If you skip breakfast , you are likely to concentrate less effectively in the late morning ,feel irritable(易怒的),short-tempered ,tired ,or weak.

When you choose not to eat breakfast, your body stays in slow gear. Also , people who skip breakfast often binge(无节制的吃)later in the day at other meals or eat a high-calorie snack in the morning .breakfast eaters tend to eat less fat during the day, have more strength and endurance and better concentration and problem solving ability.

Not hungry in the morning ? well , what time was dinner? Did you have a large evening snack? A large dinner or a large bedtime snack can cause you to not feel hungry in the morning. It makes sense to eat more in 39

Washoe Learned American Sign Language

An animal that influenced scientific thought has died. A chimpanzee named Washoe and born in Africa

ab测试 2012年度全国职称英语等级考试全真模拟试题(综合类A+B+C级含答案)

died of natural causes late last month at the age of 42 at a research center in the American state of Washington. Washoe had become known in the scientific community and around the world for her ability to use American Sign Language. She was said to be the first non-human to learn a human language. Her skills also led to debate about primates and their ability to understand language.

Research scientists Allen and Beatrix Gardner began teaching Washoe sign language in 1966. In 1969, the Gardners described Washoe‘s progress in a scientific report. The people who experimented with Washoe said she grew to understand about 250 words. For example, Washoe made signs to communicate when it was time to eat. She could request foods like apples and bananas. She also asked questions like, ―Who is coming to play?‖ Once the news about Washoe spread, many language scientists began studies of their own into this new and exciting area of research. The whole direction of primate research changed.

However, critics argued Washoe only learned to repeat sign language movements from watching her teachers. They said she had never developed true language skills. Even now, there are some researchers who suggest that primates learn sign language only by memory, and perform the signs only for prizes. Yet Washoe‘s keepers disagree. Roger Fouts is a former student of the Gardners. He took Washoe to a research center in Ellensburg, Washington. There, Washoe taught sign language to three younger chimpanzees, which are still alive.

Scientists like private researcher Jane Goodall believe Washoe provided new information about the mental workings of chimpanzees. Today, there are not as many scientists studying language skills with chimps. Part of the reason is that this kind of research takes a very long time.

Debate continues about chimps understanding of human communication. Yet, one thing is sure — Washoe changed popular ideas about the possibilities of animal intelligence.

23. Paragraph 1 24. Paragraph 2 25. Paragraph 3 26. Paragraph 4 27. Washoe could make signs to communicate .

28. Some scientists doubted .

29. Washoe thought three younger chimps sign language .

30. The experimenters thought Washoe was intelligent .

第一篇 Telling Tales about People

One of the most common types of nonfiction, and one that many people enjoy reading, is stories about people's lives. These stories fall into three general categories: autobiography, memoir, and biography.

An autobiography is the story of a person's life written by himself or herself. Often it begins with the person's earliest recollections and ends in the present. Autobiography writers may not be entirely objective in the way they present themselves. However, they offer the reader a good look at the way they are and what makes them that way. People as diverse as Benjamin Franklin and Helen Keller have written autobiographies of other writers, such as James Joyce, have written thinly fictionalized accounts of their lives. These are not autobiographies, but they are very close to it.

Memoirs, strictly speaking, are autobiographical accounts that focus as much on the events of the times as on the life of the author. 2Memoir writers typically use these events as backdrops for their lives. They describe them in detail and discuss their importance. Recently, though, the term memoir seems to be becoming interchangeable with autobiography. A memoir nowadays may or may not deal with the outside world.

Biographies are factual accounts of someone else's life. In many senses, these may be the hardest of the three types to write. Autobiography writers know the events they write about because they lived them. But biography writers have to gather information from as many different sources as possible. Then they have to decide which facts to include. Their goal is to present a balanced picture of a person, not one that is overly positive or too critical. A fair, well-presented biography may take years to research and write.

31. This passage is mostly about________.

A) the characteristics of autobiographies, memoirs, and biographies

B) famous autobiographies

C) why biography can be difficult to write

D) differences between autobiographies and memoirs

32. Helen Keller wrote________. A) a memoir B) an autobiography C) a work of fiction

B) constantly compete with biography writers

C) want to present themselves in a good light

第二篇 The State of Marriage Today

Is there something seriously wrong with marriage today? During the past 50 years, the rate of divorce in the United States has exploded: almost 50% of marriages end in divorce now, and the evidence suggests it is going to get worse. If this trend continues, it will lead to the breakup of the family, according to a spokesperson for the National Family Association. Some futurists predict that in 100 years, the average American will marry at least four times, and extramaritai(婚外的) affairs will be even more common than they are now.

But what are the reasons for this, and is the picture really so gloomy (明暗的)? The answer to the first question is really quite simple: marriage is no longer the necessity it once was. The institution of marriage has been based for years partly on economic need. Women used to be economically dependent on their husbands-as they usually didn't have jobs outside the home. But with the rising number of women in well-paying jobs, this i:a no longer the case, so they don't feel that they need to stay in a failing marriage.

In answer to the second question, the outlook may not be as pessimistic (悲观的) as it seems. While the rate of divorce has risen; the rate of couples marrying has never actually fallen very much, so marriage is still quite popular. In addition to this, many couples now simply live together and don't bother to marry. These couples are effectively married, but they do not appear in either the marriage or divorce statistics. In fact, more than 50% of first marriages survive.

So is marriage really an outdated institution? The fact that most people still get married indicates that it isn't. And it is also true that married couples have a healthier life than single people: they suffer less from stress and its consequences, such as heart problems, and married men generally consider themselves more contented than their single counterparts. Perhaps the key is to find out what makes a successful marriage and apply it to all of our relationships!

36. Which of the following is true about the marriage in the United States today?

A. Divorce leads to the breakup of the family.

B. More and more people are getting divorced.

C. More than half of the married couples get divorced.

D. American people marry more than four times.

37. What does "this is no longer the case" in paragraph 2 mean?

A. Women are not economically dependent any more.

B. It is not necessary to get married any more.

C. Women do not need a husband any longer.

D. Many wives do well-paying jobs outside home now.

38. Why is the outlook of marriage not as hopeless as it appears?

A. The rate of divorce has actually decreased.

B. Over 60% of the marriages continue to exist.

C. The statistics of divorce is reliable.

D. Many people still like to get married.

39. How do most men feel in their marriage life?

43 35. Diverse means________. A) able to swim in deep water B) similar or alike C) varied or different D) enjoying poetry

C. Marriage has long been partly an economic need.

D. It is a fact that most people choose to get married.

第三篇 The Sahara

The name Sahara derives from the Arabic word for ―desert‖ or ―steppe‖. At 3. 5 million square miles, an area roughly the size of the United States, the Sahara Desert in northern Africa is the largest desert in the world. It spans the continent from the Atlantic Ocean to the Red Sea. Daytime temperatures can reach as high as 130°F. The humidity sometimes gets into the teens. But it can also be as low as 2.5 percent, the lowest in the world. Most of the Sahara receives less than five inches of rain per year, while large areas sometimes have no rainfall at all for years.

61阅读提醒您本文地址:

At the heart of the Sahara is the landlocked north African country of Niger. Here the sand dunes can be 100 feet tall and several miles long. Here sand plains stretch over an area larger than Germany where there is neither water nor towns. Yet sitting in the midst of the surrounding desert is the town of Bilma. Suddenly there are pools of clear water. Surprisingly, there are groves of date palms. Underground water resources, or oases, sufficient to support irrigated agriculture are found in dry stream beds and depressions. Irrigation ditches run off a creek to water fields. Corn, cassava, tea, peanuts, hot peppers, and orange, lime, and grapefruit trees grow in these fields. Donkeys and goats graze on green grass.

The Sahara of Niger is still a region where you can see a camel caravan of 500 camels tied together in loose lines as long as a mile, traveling toward such oasis towns. There a caravan will collect life-sustaining salt, which is mined from watery basins, and transport it up to 400 miles back to settlements on the edges of the desert. The round trip across the vast sands takes one month.

41. This passage is mostly about________.

A) life in the Sahara

B) the deserts of Africa

C) Bilma

D) how camels travel in the desert

42. Rainfall in most of the Sahara is________.

A) less than five inches per year

B) less than ten inches per year

C) less than twenty inches per year D) zero 43. The Sahara can be described as________. A) a place of contrasts C) an area where the winters are cold D) an area that appeals to many tourists 44. The phrase ―an area roughly the size of the United States‖ gives an indication of the size of________. A) northern Africa B) a place where no one lives

B) Niger

Moderate Earthquake Strikes England

A moderate earthquake struck parts of southeast England on 28 April 2007, toppling chimneys from houses and rousing residents from their beds. Several thousand people were left without power in Kent County. One women suffered minor head and neck injuries.

―It felt as if the whole house was being slid across like a fun-fair ride,‖ said the woman.

The British Geological Survey said the 4.3-magnitude quake struck at 8:19 a.m. and was centered under the English Channel, about 8.5 miles south of Dover and near the entrance to the

Channel Tunnel.

Witnesses said cracks appeared in walls and chimneys collapsed across the county. Residents said the tremor had lasted for about 10 to 1 5 seconds.

―I was lying in bed and it felt as if someone had just got up from bed next to me.‖ Said Hendrick van Eck,27,of Canterbury about 60 miles southeast of London.―I then heard the sound

of cracking.and it was getting heavier and heavier.It felt as if someone was at the end of my bed

hopping up and down.‖

There are thousands of moderate quakes on this scale around the world each year,but they are rare in Britain.The April 28 quake was the strongest in Britain since 2002 when a 4·8-magnitude quake struck the central England city of Birmingham.

The country‘s strongest earthquake took place in the North Sea in 193 1,measuring 6·1 on

the Richter scale.British Geological Survey scientist Roger Musson said the quake took place

on 28 April in an area that had seen several of the biggest earthquakes ever to strike Britain, including one in 1580 that caused damage in London and was felt in France.Musson predicted that it was only a matter of time before another earthquake struck this part of England. However.people should not be scared too much by this prediction,Musson said,as the modern earthquake warning system of Britain should be able to detect a forthcoming quake and announce it several hours before it takes place.This would allow time for people to evacuate and reduce damage to the minimum.

How We Form First Impression

1 We all have first impression of someone we just met. But why? Why do we form an opinion about someone without really knowing anything about him or her—aside perhaps from a few remarks or readily observable traits.

2 The answer is related to how your brain allows you to be aware of the world. Your brain is so sensitive in picking up facial traits, even very minor difference in how a person‘s eyes, ears, nose.or mouth are placed in relation to each other makes you see him or her as different. In fact, your brain continuously processes incoming sensory information—the sights and sounds of your world.These incoming ―signals‖ are compared against a host of ―memories‖ stored in the brain areas called the cortex system to determine what these new signals—mean.

3 If you see someone you know and like at school,your brain says ―familiar and safe.‖ If you see someone new,it says,―new—potentially threatening‖.Then your brain starts to match features of this stranger with other ―known" memories.The height,weight,dress,ethnicity,

gestures.and tone of voice are all matched up.The more unfamiliar the characteristics,the more your brain may say,―This is new.I don‘t like this person‖.Or else,―I'm intrigued‖·Or your brain may perceive a new face but familiar clothes,ethnicity,gestures—like your other friends; So your brain says: ―I like this person".But these preliminary ―impressions‖ Can be dead wrong.

4 When we stereotype people,we use a less mature form of thinking (not unlike the immature thinking of a very young child) that makes simplistic and categorical impress of others.Rather than learn about the depth and breadth of people—their history,interest, values, strengths, and true character—we categorize them as jocks,geeks,or freaks.·

5 However.if we resist initial stereotypical impressions,we have a chance to be aware of what a person is truly like.If we spend time with a person,hear about his or her life,hopes, dreams, and become aware of the person‘s character,we use a different,more mature style of thinking —and the most complex areas of our cortex,which allow US to be humane.

第二篇 A Letter from Alan

I have learnt of a plan to build three hundred houses on the land called Parson's Place by the football ground. Few people know about this new plan to increase the size of our town. For me, Parson's Place is special because it is a beautiful natural area where local people can relax — the small wood has many unusual trees and the stream is popular with fishermen and bird-watchers. It's very quiet because there are few houses or roads nearby. I think that losing this area will be terrible because we have no other similar facilities in the neighbourhood. I am also against this plan because it will cause traffic problems. How will the people from the new houses travel to work? The motorway and the railway station are on the other side of town. Therefore, these people will have to drive through the town centre every time they go anywhere. The roads will always be full of traffic, there will be nowhere to park and the tourists who come to see our lovely old buildings will leave. Shops and hotels will lose business. If the town really needs more homes, the empty ground beside the railway station is a more suitable place.

No doubt the builders will make a lot of money by selling these houses. But, in my opinion, the average person will quickly be made poorer by this plan. As well as this, we will lose a very special place and our town will be much less pleasant.

I am going to the local government offices on Monday morning to protest about this plan and I hope that your readers will join me there. We must make them stop this plan before it is too late. 51

A) To persuade the government to build new houses.

B) To protest about a new motorway near the town. C) To encourage more people in the town to use Parson's Place. D) To inform other people about the builders' plans. 37. Why is Parson's Place particularly important, in Alan's opinion? B) Because lots of people live near it. C) Because it is a place near the town where people can enjoy nature. D) Because local people can get there easily by car from the town. 38. What will cause traffic jams? A) Because it is near the football ground.

A) A building on Parson's Place.

B) Building near the railway station.

C) Tourists in the narrow streets.

第三篇 The Development of Ballet

Ballet is a dance form that has a long history. The fact that it survives to this day shows that it has adjusted as times have changed.

Ballet began in the royal courts during the Renaissance. At that time it became common for kings and queens, as well as other nobility, to participate in pageants that included music, poetry, and dance. As these entertainments moved from the Italian courts to the French ones, court ladies began participating in them. Though their long dresses prevented much movement, they were able to perform elaborate walking patterns. It was not until the 1600s that women dancers shortened their skirts, changed to flat shoes, and began doing some of the leaps and turns performed by men.

It was also in the 1600s that professional ballet began. King Louis XIV of France, himself a devoted dancer, founded the Royal Academy of Dance. The five basic feet positions from which all ballet steps begin were finalized. In the late 1700s another important change occurred. Ballet began to tell a story on its own. It was no longer simply dance to be performed between acts of plays. Elaborate wigs and costumes were eliminated. By the early 1800s dancers learned to rise on their toes to make it appear that they were floating.

Classical ballet as we know it today was influenced primarily by Russian dancing. The Russians remained interested in ballet when it declined in other European countries in the mid - 1800s. One of the most influential figures of the early 20th century was Sergei Diaghilev. His dance company, the Ballets Russes, brought a new energy and excitement to ballet. One of his chief assistants, George Balanchine, went on to found the New York City Ballet in 1948 and to influence new generations of dancers.

41. This passage deals mainly with

52

ab测试 2012年度全国职称英语等级考试全真模拟试题(综合类A+B+C级含答案)

A) famous names in ballet

B) French versus Russian ballet

C) is only currently performed in Russia and the United States

D) is often performed by dancers with little training

44. The information in this passage is presented

A) through the story of one dancer

B) by describing various positions and steps

C) by listing reasons why ballet has succeeded

D) in chronological order

Heat Is Killer

Extremely hot weather is common in many parts of the world. Although hot weather just makes most people feel hot, it can cause serious medical problems –even death. Floods, storms, volcano eruptions and other natural disasters kill thousands of people every year. . Experts say heat may be nature‘s deadliest killer. Recently, extreme heat was blamed for killing maore than one hundred people in India. It is reported that the total heat of a hot day or several days

can affect health. (47) Expels say heat waves often become dangerous when the nighttime temperature does not drop much from the highest daytime temperature.This causes great stress on the human body.

.Stay out of the sun,if possible.Drink lots of cool water.Wear light colored clothing made of natural materials;avoid wearing synthetic clothing.Make sure the clothing is loose, permitting freedom of movement.And learn the danger signs of the medical problems,such as headache and vomiting,that are linked to heat. The pain is a warning that the

body is becoming too hot.Doctors say those suffering headache or muscle pain should stop all

activity and rest in a cool place and drink cool liquids.Do not return to physical activity for a few

hours because more serious conditions could develop.

Doctors say some people face an increased danger from heat stress. (50)

Hot weather also increases dangers for people who must take medicine for high blood pressure, poor blood flow, nervousness or depression.

A Life with Birds

For nearly 17 years David Cope has worked as one of the Tower of London?s Yeoman Warders, better 51 to tourists as Beefeaters. David, 64, lives in a three?bedroomed 52 right at the top of the Byward Tower, one of the gatehouses. “From our bedroom we have a marvellous 53 of Tower Bridge and the Thames.‖ says David.

The Tower of London is famous for its ravens, the large black birds which have lived there for over three centuries. David was immediately 54 by the birds and when he was offered the post of Raven Master eight years ago he had no hesitation in 55 it. “The birds have now become my life and I?m always aware of the fact that I am maintaining a 56.
