Section B
Passage One Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard.
D.The difference between elegance and good manners.
A B C D
C
[解析] Passage One Do you remember a time when people were a little nicer and gentler with each other? I certainly do. And I feel that much of the world has somehow gotten away from that. Too often I see people rushing into elevators without giving those inside a chance to get off first, or never saying "thank you" when others hold a door open for them. We get lazy and in our laziness we think that something like a simple "thank you" doesn't really matter. But it can matter very much. The fact is that no matter how nicely we dress or how beautifully we decorate our homes, we can't be truly elegant without good manners, because elegance and good manners always go hand in hand. In fact, I think of good manners as a sort of hidden beauty secret. Haven't you noticed that the kindest, most generous people seem to keep getting prettier? It's funny how that happens, but it does. Take the long-lost art of saying "thank you", like wearing a little make-up, or making sure your hair is neat. Getting into the habit of saying "thank you" can make you feel better about yourself. Good manners add to your image, while an angry face makes the best dressed person look ugly. Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard. 11. What is the passage mainly about?

A.They were nicer and gentler.
B.They paid more attention to their appearance.
C.They were willing to spend more money on clothes.

Passage Two Questions 14 to 16 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[解析] Passage Two "Go to the playground and have fun," parents will often say to their kids. But they should remember playgrounds can be dangerous. Each year about 200,000 children end up in hospital emergency rooms with playground injuries. Many injuries involve fails from too high equipment onto too hard surfaces. Nearly 70 percent of the injuries happen on public playgrounds. Recent studies show they may be badly designed, their protective surfaces are inadequate, and their equipment is poorly maintained. Parents should make sure that the equipment in the playground is safe and their children are playing safely. Last year, the national program for playground W: Sorry, just one more thing. Could you give me a ride to school tomorrow? Q: What can be inferred from the conversation? safety gave the nation's playgrounds a grade of C for safety after visiting more than 3000 playgrounds nationwide. Parents should watch closely. They should always be within shouting and running distance of their children. Young children don't understand cause and effect, so they may run in front of moving swings. They're also better at climbing Up than getting down, so they may panic at the top of a ladder. It's important for children to know you're watching them. Once they feel that sense of security, that's when they can be creative. Questions 14 to 16 are based on the passage you have just heard. 14. What is the cause of playground injuries?
2. A. They should help maintain the equipment. B. They should keep a watchful eye on their children. C. They should stop their children from climbing ladders.D. They should teach their children how to use the equipment.

Passage Three Questions 17 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[解析] Passage Three For twenty five years I was a full-time thief, specializing in picking pockets, Where I come from in southeast London, that's an honorable profession. Anyone can break in a house and steal things, but picking somebody's pocket takes skill. My sister and I were among the most successful pickpocket teams in London. We worked in hotel and theatre lobbies, airports, shopping centers and restaurants. Now we don't steal any more, but this crime is worldwide. Here's how to protect your self. Professional pickpockets do not see victim, only hand bags, jewels and money. Mothers with babies, the elderly, the disabled are all fair game. My preferred target was the lone female, handbag at her side, the right side to be exact. So if I'm next to her, I can reach it cautiously with my right hand across my body. Only about one woman in a thousand carries her bag on the left, and I tended to steer clear of them. Women whose bags are hanging in front of them are tricky for the pickpocket as there isn't a blind side. If you want to make it even harder, use a bag with handles rather than a strap. For men, one of the best places to keep a wallet is in the back pocket of tight trousers. You'll feel any attempts to move it. Another good place is in the buttoned-up inside pocket of a jacket. There is just no way in. Even better, keep wallets attached to a cord or chain that is fastened to a belt. A pickpocket needs targets who are relaxed and off-guard. The perfect setting is a clothing store. When customers wander among the racks they are completely absorbed in the items they hold up. The presence of a uniformed security guard is even better. A false sense of security makes a pickpocket's job much simpler. Questions 17 to 20 are based on the passage you have just heard. 17. Why does the speaker say that picking somebody's pocket is an honorable profession in southeast Lon don?
2.
A.A mother with a baby in her arms.
B.A woman whose bag is hanging in front.
C.A lone female with a handbag at her right side.
D.An old lady carrying a handbag on the left.
A B C D
C
[解析] According to the speaker, who is most likely to become a victim of pickpockets?
3.
A.The back pocket of his tight trousers.
B.The top pocket of his jacket.
C.A side pocket of his jacket.
D.A side pocket of his trousers.
A B C D

[解析] In the speaker's opinion, what's the best place for a man to keep his wallet?

A.Theater lobbies with uniformed security guards.
B.Clothing stores where people are relaxed and off guard.
C.Airports where people carry a lot of luggage.
D.Hotels and restaurants in southeast London.

[解析] What is the perfect setting for picking pockets according to the speaker?
Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension
Passage One I'm usually fairly skeptical about any research that concludes that people are either happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago. While any of these statements might be true, they are practically impossible to prove scientifically. Still, I was struck by a report which concluded that today's children are significantly more anxious than children in the 1950s. In fact, the analysis showed, normal children aged 9 to 17 exhibit a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated for mental illness 50 years ago. Why are America's kids so stressed.'? The report cites two main causes: increasing physical isolation -- brought on by high divorce rates and less involvement in community, among other things -- and a growing perception that the world is a more dangerous place. Given that we can't turn the clock back, adults can still do plenty to help the next generation cope. At the top of the list is nurturing (培育) a better appreciation of the limits of individualism. No child is an island. Strengthening social ties helps build communities and protect individuals against stress. To help kids build stronger connections with others, you can pull the plug on TVs and computers. Your family will thank you later. They will have more time for face-to-face relationships, and they will get more sleep. Limit the amount of virtual (虚拟的) violence your children are exposed to. It's not just video games and movies; children see a lot of murder and crime on the local news. Keep your expectations for your children reasonable. Many highly successful people never attended Harvard or Yale. Make exercise part of your daily routine. It will help you cope with your own anxieties and provide a good model for your kids. Sometimes anxiety is unavoidable. But it doesn't have to ruin your life.
1. The author thinks that the conclusions of any research about people's state of mind are _______.
A.surprising
B.illogical
C.confusing
D.questionable
A B C D
D
题目中的people's state of mind就是第1句中的either happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves。而对于这种研究,作者开门见山表明自己的态度"skeptical怀疑的”,因此该研究结论是"questionable可疑的”。
2. What does the author mean when he says, "we can't turn the clock back" ( Line 1, Para. 3 ) ?
A.It's impossible to slow down the pace of change.
B.The social reality children are facing cannot be changed.
C.Lessons learned from the past should not be forgotten.
4. The first and most important thing parents should do to help their children is _______.
A.to provide them with a safer environment
B.to lower their expectations for them
C.to get them more involved socially
D.to set a good model for them to follow
A B C D
C
根据第4段最后一句“加强社会联系有助于社区的建设,也有助于保护个人免受压力的侵扰。”
5. What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?
A.Anxiety, though unavoidable, can be coped with.
B.Children's anxiety has been enormously exaggerated.
C.Children's anxiety can be eliminated with more parental care.
D.Anxiety, if properly controlled, may help children become mature.
A B C D
A
根据文章最后两句“有时候焦虑是难免的,但它并不是非要毁掉您的生活不可。”
Passage Two It is easier to negotiate initial salary requirement because once you are inside, the organizational constraints (约束) influence wage increases. One thing, however, is certain: your chances of getting the raise you feel you deserve are less if you don't at least ask for it. Men tend to ask for more, and they get more, and this holds true with other resources, not just pay increases. Consider Beth's story: I did not get what I wanted when I did not ask for it. We had cubicle (小隔间) offices and window offices. I sat in the cubicles with several male colleagues. One by one they were moved into window offices, while I remained in the cubicles. Several males who were hired after me also went to offices. One in particular told me he was next in line for an office and that it had been part of his negotiations for the job. I guess they thought me content to stay in the cubicles since I did not voice my opinion either way. It would be nice if we all received automatic pay increases equal to our merit, but "nice" isn't a quality attributed to most organizations. If you feel you deserve a significant raise in pay, you'll probably have to ask for it. Performance is your best bargaining chip (筹码) when you are seeking a raise. You must be able to demonstrate that you deserve a raise. Timing is also a good bargaining chip. If you can give your boss something he or she needs (a new client or a sizable contract, for example) just before merit pay decisions are being made, you are more likely to get the raise you want. Use information as a bargaining chip too. Find out what you are worth on the open market. What will someone else pay for your services? Go into the negotiations prepared to place your chips on the table at the appropriate time and prepared to use communication style to guide the direction of the interaction.
1. According to the passage, before taking a job, a person should ________.
A.demonstrate his capability
B.give his boss a good impression
C.ask for as much money as he can
D.ask for the salary he hopes to get
A B C D
D
根据文章第1句。开头立论:It is easier to negotiate initial salary requirement(在进入公司以前就谈妥你的最初工资要求要更容易些)。因此,在接受一份工作前应该先提出期望薪金要求,即[D]注意中as much...as he can意思太绝对,不妥。
2. What can be inferred from Beth's story?
A.Prejudice against women still exists in some organizations.
B.If people want what they deserve, they have to ask for it.
C.People should not be content with what they have got.
D.People should be careful when negotiating for a job.
C.try to get inside information about the organization
D.do something to impress his boss just before merit pay decisions
A B C D
D
根据倒数第3段,performance“工作表现”,timing“抓住时机”和information“利用信息”是加薪的三大筹码。[D] 与其中对timing的阐述"If you can give your boss something he or she needs(a new client or a sizable contract,for example) just before merit pay decisions are being made,you are more likely to get the raise you want.”一致。
5. To be successful in negotiations, one must ________.
A.meet his boss at the appropriate time
B.arrive at the negotiation table punctually
C.be good at influencing the outcome of the interaction
D.be familiar with what the boss likes and dislikes
A B C D
C
最后一段指出,带着准备好的筹码去跟老板商谈加薪,并在合适的时候拿出来,而且要运用一定的交际手段引导谈判的发展方向,即[C]业注意其中“place your chips on the table at the appropriate time在适当的时候拿出筹码”不等于[A]"meet his boss at the appropriate time"。
Passage Three When families gather for Christmas dinner, some will stick to formal traditions dating back to Grandma's generation. Their tables will be set with the good dishes and silver, and the dress code will be Sunday-best. But in many other homes, this china-and-silver elegance has given way to a stoneware (粗陶) -and-stainless informality, with dresses assuming an equally casual-Friday look. For hosts and guests, the change means greater simplicity and comfort. For makers of fine china in Britain, it spells economic hard times. Last week Royal Doulton, the largest employer in Stoke-on-Trent, announced that it is eliminating 1,000 jobs-- one-fifth of its total workforce. That brings to more than 4,000 the number of positions lost in 18 months in the pottery (陶瓷) region. Wedgwood and other pottery factories made cuts earlier. Although a strong pound and weak markets in Asia play a role in the downsizing, the layoffs in Stoke have their roots in earthshaking social shifts. A spokesman for Royal Doulton admitted that the company "has been somewhat slow in catching up with the trend" toward casual dining. Families eat together less often, he explained, and more people eat alone, either because they are single or they eat in front of television. Even dinner parties, ff they happen at all, have gone casual. In a time of long work hours and demanding family schedules, busy hosts insist, rightly, that it's better to share a takeout pizza on paper plates in the family room than to wait for the perfect moment or a "real" dinner party. Too often, the perfect moment never comes. Iron a fine-patterned tablecloth? Forget it. Polish the silver? Who has time? Yet the loss of formality has its down side. The fine points of etiquette (礼节) that children might once have learned at the table by observation or instruction from parents and grandparents ( "Chew with your mouth closed." "Keep your elbows off the table. ") must be picked up elsewhere. Some companies now offer etiquette seminars for employees who may be competent professionally but clueless socially.
1. The trend toward casual dining has resulted in ________.
A.bankruptcy of fine china manufacturers
B.shrinking of the pottery industry
C.restructuring of large enterprises
D.economic recession in Great Britain
A B C D
B
首先依据题目中的casual dining找到第2段中的informality。其后有两个for引导的介词短语,后一个说“对于英国精致瓷器的制造商来说,这(informality)意味着经济困难时期”;此外,第3段用数据法具体证明陶瓷业裁员:That brings to more than 4,000 the number of positions lost in 18 months in the pottery region.说明陶瓷业在缩减,即[B]。[A]陶瓷业的破产”和[D]“大不列颠经济萧条”均属夸大事实,(C]“大企业的重组”与文章内容无关。
2. Which of the following may be the best reason for casual dining?
A.Family members need more time to relax.
B.Busy schedules leave people no time for formality.
C.People want to practice economy in times of scarcity.
D.Young people won't follow the etiquette of the older generation
A B C D
B
根据倒数第2段第2句"In a time of long work hours and demanding family schedules...”。
3. It can be learned from the passage that Royal Doulton is________.
A.a retailer of stainless steel tableware
B.a dealer in stoneware
C.a pottery chain store
D.a producer of fine china
A B C D
D
Royal Doulton在文章中出现过两次:第一次(第3段)说它裁员,因为人们用餐越来越随意(不再讲究餐具的精致);第二次(第4段)说"A spokesman for Royal Doulton admitted that the company...",表明公司性质,可以推断它是精制器皿的生产者。
4. The main cause of the layoffs in the pottery industry is ________.
A.the increased value of the pound
B.the economic recession in Asia
C.the change in people's way of life
D.the fierce competition at home and abroad
A B C D
C
根据题目中的the layoffs找到文章第4段首句,其中的have their roots in相当于题目中的main cause is,shifts相当于[C]中的change。其实本题与第31题是交叉相关的,第31题的题目就是本题的答案,本题的题目又可以看作是第31题的答案。
5. Refined table manners, though less popular than before in current social life, ________. A. are still a must on certain occasions B. are bound to return sooner or later C. are still being taught by parents at homeD. can help improve personal relationships
A B C D
A
根据最后一段,特别是第2句The fine points of etiquette... must be picked up elsewhere(良好的餐桌礼仪必须在别处习得),可知礼仪还是必要的。
Passage Four Some houses are designed to be smart. Others have smart designs. An example of the second type of house won an Award of Excellence from the American Institute of Architects. Located on the shore of Sullivan's Island off the coast of South Carolina, the award-winning cube-shaped beach house was built to replace one smashed to pieces by Hurricane (飓风) Hugo 10 years ago. In September 1989, Hugo struck South Carolina, killing 18 people and damaging or destroying 36,000 homes in the state. Before Hugo, many new houses built along South Carolina's shoreline were poorly constructed, and enforcement of building codes wasn't strict, according to architect Ray Huff, who created the cleverly-designed beach house. In Hugo's wake, all new shoreline houses are required to meet stricter, better-enforced codes. The new beach house on Sullivan's Island should be able to withstand a Category 3 hurricane with peak winds of 179 to 209 kilometers per hour. At first sight, the house on Sullivan's Island looks anything but hurricane-proof. Its redwood shell makes it resemble "a large party lantern (灯笼) "at night, according to one observer. But looks can be deceiving. The house's wooden frame is reinforced with long steel rods to give it extra strength. To further protect the house from hurricane damage, Huff raised it 2.7 meters off the ground on timber pilings-- long, slender columns of wood anchored deep in the sand. Pilings might appear insecure, but they are strong enough to support the weight of the house. They also elevate the house above storm surges. The pilings allow the surges to run under the house instead of running into it. "These swells of water come ashore at tremendous speeds and cause most of the damage done to beach-front buildings," said Huff. Huff designed the timber pilings to be partially concealed by the house's ground-to-roof shell. "The shell masks the pilings so that the house doesn't look like it's standing with its pant legs pulled up," said Huff. In the event of a storm surge, the shell should break apart and let the waves rush under the house, the architect explained.
1. After the tragedy caused by Hurricane Hugo, new houses built along South Carolina's shore line are required ________.
A.to be easily reinforced
B.to look smarter in design
C.to meet stricter building standards
D.to be designed in the shape of cubes
A B C D
C
根据题目中的专有名词Hugo到文中查找,第四次出现此词时,是第3段第2句“In Hugo's wake(相当于题目中的after Hugo),all new shoreline houses are required too meet stricter,better-enforced codes.”。
2. The award-winning beach house is quite strong because ________.
A.it is strengthened by steel rods
B.it is made of redwood
C.it is in the shape of a shell
D.it is built with timber and concrete
A B C D
A
第4段开始具体介绍the house,根据该段最后一句The house's wooden frame is reinforced with long steel rods to give it extra strength.选[A]。
3. Huff raised the house 2.7 meters off the ground on timber pilings in order to________.
A.withstand peak winds of about 200 km / hr
B.anchor stronger pilings deep in the sand
C.break huge sea waves into smaller ones
D.prevent water from rushing into the house
A B C D
D
根据第5段前3句,其中有To further protect the house from hurricane damage,Huff raised it 2.7 meters off the ground... 及elevate the house above storm surges字眼。[D]是对这些信息的概括。
4. The main function of the shell is________.
A.to strengthen the pilings of the house
B.to give the house a better appearance
C.to protect the wooden frame of the house
D.to slow down the speed of the swelling water
A B C D
B
根据最后一段第2句The shell masks the pilings so that the house doesn't look like it's standing with its pant legs pulled up.它主要起“粉饰”作用。
5. It can be inferred from the passage that the shell should be________.
A.fancy-looking
B.waterproof
C.easily breakable
D.extremely strong
A B C D
C
根据最后一句In the event of a storm surge,the shell should break apart and let the waves rush under the house.(当大风浪涌来时,外壳应该破裂,让海浪从房子下面流过),因此外壳应该是“易碎的”。

Part Ⅳ Cloze It's an annual back-to-school routine. One morning you wave goodbye, and that 1 evening you're burning the late-night oil in sympathy. In the race to improve educational standards, 2 are throwing the books at kids. 3 elementary school students are complaining of homework 4 . What's a well-meaning parent to do? As hard as 5 may be, sit hack and chill, experts advise. Though you've got to get them to do it, 6 helping too much, or even examining 7 too carefully, you may keep them 8 doing it by themselves. "I wouldn't advise a parent to check every 9 assignment," says psychologist John Rosemond, author of Ending the Tough Homework. There's a 10 of appreciation for trial and error. Let your children 11 the grade they deserve. Many experts believe parents should gently look over the work of younger children and ask them to rethink their 12 . But "you don't want them to feel it has to be 13 ," she says. That's not to say parents should 14 homework -- first, they should monitor how much homework their kids 15 . Thirty minutes a day in the early elementary years and an hour in 16 four, five, and six is standard, says Rosemond. For junior-high students it should be" 17 more than an hour and a half," and two for high school students. If your child 18 has more homework than this, you may want to check 18 other parents and then talk to the teacher about 20 assignments.
it may be hard(to do sth.)为习惯表达,“做某事可能有难度”,it 为形式主语,代替的是后面的“(to),sit back and chill”;hard 表示“难”时,不以人作主语。there be后面接名词。本句句意为:尽管可能难以做到,但专家建议先不采取行动,而是冷处理。
