the door slowly as Sue left home to visit her mother.Expecting a wholeday to relax,he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favourite TVtalk show on his first day off in months.“This will be like a walk in the park,”hedtold his wife.“Ill look after the kids,and you can go visit your mom.”Things started well,but just after eight oclock,his three little“good kids”Mike,Randy,and Alexcame down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted“breakfast,daddy.”When food had not appeared within thirty seconds,Randy began usinghis spoon on Alexs head as if it were a drum.Alex started to shout loudly in time tothe beat（节拍）.Mike chanted“Wheres my toast,wheres my toast”in the background.Brad realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.Life became worse after breakfast.Mike wore Randys underwear on his head.Randylocked himself in the bathroom,while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet hispants.Nobody could find clean socks,although they were before their very eyes.Someonenamed“Not Me”had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes.Brad knew the talk show had already started.By ten oclock,things were out of control.Alex was wondering why the fish in thejar refused his bread and butter.Mike was trying to show off his talent by decoratingthe kitchen wall with his colour pencils.Randy,thankfully,appeared to be readingquietly in the family room，but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jamstraight from the bottle with his hands.Brad realised that the talk show was over andreading would be impossible.At exactly 11:17,Brad called the daycare centre(日托所）.“I suddenly have to gointo work and my wifes away.Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes?”The answerwas obviously“yes”because Brad was smiling.49.When his wife left home.Brad expected to.A.go out for a walk in the parkB.watch TV talk show with his childrenC.enjoy his first day off workD.read the newspaper to his children50.Which of the following did Randy do?A.Drawing on the wallB.Eating apple jamC.Feeding the fish.D.Reading in a room51.Why did Brad ask the daycare centre for help?A.Because he wanted to clean up his house.B.Because he suddenly had to go to his officeC.Because he found it hard to manage his boys home.D.Because he had to take his wife back52.This text is developed.A.by spaceB.by comparisonC.by processD.by timeCEating too much fatty food,exercising too little and smoking can raise your futurerisk of heart disease.But there is another factor that can cause your heart problemsmore immediately:the air you breathe.Previous studies have linked high exposure(暴露）to environmental pollution to anincreased risk of heart problem,but two analyses now show that poor air quality can leadto heart attack or stroke(中风）within as little as a few hours after exposure.In onereview of the research,scientists found that people exposed to high levels of pollutants(污染物）were up to 5%more likely to suffer a heart attack within days of exposure thanthose with lower exposure.A separate study of stroke patients showed that even air thatthe U.S.Environmental Protection Agency(EPA)considers to be of“moderate”(良好）quality and relatively safe for our health can raise the risk of stroke as much as 34%within 12 to 14 hours of exposure.The authors of both studies stress that these risks are relatively small for healthypeople and certainly modest compared with other risk factors such as smoking and highblood pressure.However,it is important to be aware of these dangers because everyoneis exposed to air pollution regardless of lifestyle choices.So stricter regulation bythe EPA of pollutants may not only improve environmental air quality but could also becomenecessary to protect public health.53.The text mainly discusses the relationship between.A.heart problems and air qualityB.heart problems and exercisingC.heart problems and smokingD.heart problems and fatty food54.The underlined word“modest”in Paragraph 3 most probably means.A.relatively highB.extremely lowC.relatively lowD.extremely high53.What can we learn from the text?A.Eating fatty food has immediate effects on your heart.B.The EPA conducted many studies on air quality.C.Moderate air quality is more harmful than smoking,D.Stricter regulations on pollutants should be made.56.The authors purpose of writing the text is most likely to.A.informB.persuadeC.describeD.entertainDSpring is coming,and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs.Competition is tough,so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices.Whatever we are wearing，our family and friends may accept us,but the workplace may not.A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visibletattoos(纹身）nose rings,or certain dress styles.It is true you cant judge a bookby its cover,yet people do“cover”themselves in order to convey(传递)certain messages.What we wear,including tattoos and nose rings,is an expression of who we are.Just aspeople convey messages about themselves with their appearances so do companies.Dressstandards exist in the business world for a number of reasons,but the main concern isoften about what customers accept.Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom,but for businesses itis more about whether to make or lose money.Most employers do care about the personalappearances of their employees(雇员),because those people represent the companies totheir customers.As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impressionon our customers.There are plenty of well-qualified candidates,so it is not wrong toreject someone who might disappoint my customers.Even though I am open-minded,I cantexpect all our customers are.There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that ofyour preferred employer.No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simplycause he or she is unwilling to respect its standards,as long as its standards are legal.57.Which of the following is the newspaper editor opinion according to Paragraph 2?A.Peoples appearances carry messages about themselves.B.Customers choices influence dress standards in companies.C.Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated.D.Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace.58.What can be inferred from the text?A.Candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview.B.What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies.C.Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates.D.Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates.59.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A.Employees MatterB.Personal Choices MatterC.Appearances MatterD.Hiring Managers Matter60.The authors attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace may best bedescribed as.A.enthusiasticB.negativeC positiveD.sympathetic第二节（共 5 小题；毎小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从下框的 AF 选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑。选项中有一项为多余项。A.Be well-organised.B.Close with a Q&A.C.Dont be contradictory.D.Bring it to a specific endE.Speak slowly and pause.F.Drop unnecessary wordsSpeaking to a group can be difficult,but listening to a bad speech is truly a tiresometaskespecially when the speaker is confusing.Dont want to confuse your audience?Follow these suggestions:61.EWhen it comes to understanding new information,the human brain needs a little time.First,we hear the words;then,we compare the new information to what we already know.If the two are different,we need to pause and think.But a breathless speaker never stopsto let us think about what he or she is saying and risks confusing us.Slow it62.CSometimes we all start a sentence one way and then switch directions,which is verydifficult to follow.When you the audience confuse your listeners with opposinginformation,you leave the audience wondering what part of the information is right andwhat part they should remember.Instead of relying and keeping correcting yourself,workto get the facts clear and straight.63.AJumping from point to point as it
