everything that he hears.There are 11 ofreasons for this.One of them is the overload of messages most of us 12 each day.In addition to thenumerous hours we 13 hearing other people speak,we may spend several hours listening to the radio orsitting in front of a television set.14,it is impossible to focus our attention completely on what is said;ourmind might be 15 elsewhere.Preoccupation with our personal concerns is 16 reason we dont always listencarefully.A romance 17 sour or a good grade on a test may take prominence in our mind even as 18 isspeaking to us.Furthermore,we are surrounded by all kinds of noises which interfere 19 listening.Forexample,voices at a party or 20 of traffic may simply make it difficult for us to catch everything that isbeing said.11.A.the numberB.a

OneQuestions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Many of todays most trusted sales techniques were invented over a century ago by a young merchantnamed Eaton in Toronto.When he was young,Eaton worked briefly with his brothers in small-town stores.In 1869,he sep up his own shop in downtown Toronto.He had many competitors,but he was also ambitiousand had a plan for success.He offered a unique style of trade,but as was expected,all the other shopkeeperslaughed at him,believing he would eventually fail.However,Eaton was not a man to be easily defeated;hecame up with a brand new notion of business-Goods satisfactory,or money refunded.He sold all hisgoods at fixed prices and only for cash.With a sharp sense of what the public wanted,he went out of the way to meet their needs.His business grewrapidly.He set up new branches and started mail order service that allowed people to buy from a list of hisgoods.Eatons list-advertisements of his day-was the first of its kind.It was distributed and read all over thecountry.It was the only way to access good-quality goods at reasonable prices for people living far awayfrom big cites.It became part of their life.They even called it The Wishing Book.The secret of the listssuccess was that Eaton gained the respect of this customers;they trusted him for good prices and qualitygoods.Probably because he remembered his miserable early days in Ireland,Eaton thought much of thewelfare of his employees:better working conditions,shorter weekday hours than his competitors andSaturday afternoons off in the summer.In all this,he was a leader.21.The best description of Eaton is that _.A.he was the richest merchant in TorontoB.he was a successful technical inventorC.he introduced new sales practicesD.he changed peoples ideas about businessmen22.Eatons success lay primarily in that _.A.he sold only good quality goodsB.he was the first person to provide good serviceC.he treated his employees better than any of his competitorsD.he won respect from his customers23.From the passage we can infer that _.A.Eaton invented the idea of the internet shoppingB.Eaton drove other businessmen to failureC.Eaton never sold his goods on creditD.Eaton was defeated by his rivals24.The best title for this passage is _.A.Good Goods,of Money RefundedB.Eaton,a Sales InventorC.Customers Respect,a Secret of SuccessD.Eatons list,a Welcome Event in Sales History25.Eatons List was important to people on farms because it was a convenient way of getting _.A.good-quality goods at reasonable pricesB.goods at unreasonable pricesC.good-quality goods at unreasonable pricesD.poor-quality goods at reasonable pricesPassage TwoQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.The threat of a global outbreak(疾病大爆发)of bird flu makes it urgent for the international community tocooperate effectively.Wealthy countries will have to provide hundreds of millions of dollars for the testing2and production of medicines necessary for treating patients suffering from bird flu.Developing countries,particularly in Southeast Asia,where the bird flu virus(病毒)has spread since 1997,must work out specialprograms so that farmers will not hide sighs of possible outbreaks.In addition,the way such farm birds aschickens and ducks are traditionally raised and marketed in the developing world should be changed;thereshould be more distance between the birds and their keepers.Countries should deal with the disease withjoint effort.If one country is inadequately prepared,it will be a threat to every other country.The potential effects of a national outbreak of bird flu are enormous.Firstly,an outbreak may kill largenumbers of people.World Health Organization(WHO)estimates that an outbreak similar to the mild HongKong flu of 1968 could kill as many as 7.4 millions people.If it were as dangerous as the 1918 Spanish flu,which killed 50 million,the number would be much higher.Secondly,such an outbreak may cause greatfinancial damage.The latest outbreak of bird flu,which began in December 2003,has cost Southeast Asiamore than$10 billion and depressed its GDP by 1.5 percent.If a new outbreak of bird flu were to last for awhole year,$800 billion would be lost.Despite the 124 human cases and 63 deaths from bird flu since December 2003,the virus remains mainly adisease animals.However,the more animals that die of the disease,the more chances it has of spreading topeople.Large numbers of dead or dying birds mean that more people will be exposed to the virus andchange into a virus with new characteristics.If the international community works together efficiently,mancan surely prevent such a virus and possibly save millions of lives.26.Faced with the threat of a global outbreak of bird flu,the international community should _.A.establish new marketsB.work together effectivelyC.stop birds from flying to other countriesD.raise fewer chickens and ducks27.The second paragraph focuses on _.A.World Health OrganizationB.flus in Hong Kong and SpainC.the economy of Southeast AsiaD.possible effects of a bird flu outbreak28.The number of people who have died of bird flu since 2003 is _.A.63B.124C.7.4 millionD.50 million29.In the third paragraph,the author is mainly interested in _.A.stimulating financial growthB.reducing economic damagesC.saving human livesD.protecting bird species30.The passage deals with all the following aspects bird flu EXCEPT _.A.the origin and history of bird fluB.the importance of international cooperationC.the possible dangers of a national outbreakD.the significance of preventing it from spreadingPassage ThreeQuestions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.The long summer holidays are finally over and some parents are pleased.We worry more about their safetyin the holidays,explains one mother from North London.If teenagers are not wandering around on publictransport in a big and potentially dangerous city,they are chatting to strangers in an internet chat room!Well,thats an extreme picture of the UK today,but many parents are worried about how much freedom they cangive their children during the holidays and at weekends.Weekends are not the only time to worry!Newspaper are full of stories about too many school kids going toschool by car because their parents do not want them to travel alone on a bus or train.This summer therewere more frightening stories of teenagers disappearing with questionable friends that they met on the net.All the Media stories help increase parents fears,but is the UK really so dangerous?3Many young people feel that life for their parents was easier.In the 1960s young people played in the streetsmore and traveled around town without their parents.At least our parents can keep tabs on us,says 16-year-old Julia.So many people have mobile phones now and their parents ring to find out where they are.Iuse my mobile to get Dad to come to the station when I arrive late.Mobiles are not just expensive toys;they help keep young people safe.Most significantly,they help keep young people safe.Most significantly,they make parents feel better.Only one problem is,though,that some young people have been attacked bythieves who want to steal their mobile phones.Young people like going out with friends,but they now need to learn how to get home safely.Five millionyoung people in the UK between the ages of 9 to 16 use chat rooms to make friends,but they,too,need tobe careful and never give their personal details to a stranger.Young people today have more opportunities tomeet new people and go out at night more than their parents ever did.Now school,television programs andnewspapers must help teenagers to enjoy their freedom and to be responsible for their own safety.31.Some parents are upset about the summer holidays mainly because their children _.A.wander around on bus in the cityB.chat to strangers in Internet chat roomsC.make questionable friends on the netD.are taken little care of by

points)将下列短文译成汉语并将答案写在答题纸上。There is a clear distinction between one who is supposed to know and another,usually a younger personwho is supposed not to know.However,teaching is not necessarily the area of a special group of people,norshould it be looked upon as a technical skill.Teaching can be more like guiding and assisting than forcinginformation into a blank mind.If you have a certain skill,you should be able to share it with others.You donot have to get a certificate to convey what you know to them or to help them in their attempt to teachthemselves.All of us,from the very youngest children to the oldest members of our society,should come torealize our own talent and abilities as teachers.We can share what we know,however little it might be,withothers who have need of that knowledge or
