26、e chosen with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring Answer Sheet.What relationship is regarded as good for partners?

27、orts them in achieving their goals. If this is not working at some point, it does not _42_ mean that the couple requires therapy. All relationships tend to encounter problems during _43_ periods and at different stages, and many couples have a good ability _44_ their difficulties without professiona

28、l help. However, some may find that they are continually unhappy with their relationship.

29、ssional help should be considered. Many couple only consider therapy as a last _47_.

32、ION (45 minutes, 30 points, 1 point each)Directions: In this part of the test, there are five short passages. Read each passage carefully, and then to the questions that follow. Choose the best answer from the four choices given and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square b

33、rackets on your Machine-scoring Answer Sheet.Passage One Remember Farid Seif? Mr Seif is the Houston Iranian-American businessman who mistakenly carried a Glock handgun through security, onto a plane, all the way from Houston to Indianapolis. When he got to his destination and realized his mistake,

34、he alerted security officials. There was reportedly “nothing else” in Mr Seifs carry-on besides the weapon. Yet the security screeners at George Bush International, Americas eighth-busiest airport, missed it entirely. The scariest part of that story was that Transportation Security Administration of

35、ficials told reporters that this type of incident was “not common.” Now another Texas airport, Dallas-Fort Worth, is providing the point. This week, a high-level TSA source told the local NBC affiliate that “An undercover TSA agent was able to get through security at Dallas/Fort Worth International

36、Airport with a handgun during testing of the enhanced-imaging body scanners.” The TSA insider who blew the whistle on the test also said that none of the TSA agents who failed to spot the gun on the scanned image were disciplined. The source said the agents continue to work the body scanners today.

37、This is not confidence-inspiring. If TSA screeners cant even stop guns getting through security, why are they taking away our bottled water? Incidents like this only lend incentives to TSA critics who say the whole airport security apparatus is an enormous waste of time and money. The TSAs attitude

38、towards the reporting of these sorts of messes isnt helpful, either. They only provided NBC with a brief statement claiming that they dont reveal the results of secret testing for “security reasons” and arguing that “advanced imaging technology is an effective tool to detect both metallic and nonmet

39、allic items hidden on passengers.” Thats pretty much the public affairs equivalent of sticking their fingers in their ears and saying “lalalalala we cant hear you!” It is really hard to have an accountable TSA without greater transparency about the results of secret testing. Instead of leaking hints

40、 to the press that failure rates have decreased since the last public reports, the TSA should back up its whispering with actual data. If it wont, some enterprising congressional committee should order it. “Trust us that this works” just isnt cutting it anymore.51. Mr. Seifs handgun _. A. passed the

41、 check at the Houston airport B. caused big trouble for himself in Houston C. was tracked down by officials in Indianapolis D. triggered a series of false alarms in Indianapolis52. What happened at Dallas-Fort Worth _. A. helped rebuild public confidence B. was merely an unusual accident C. caused g

42、reater concern over security D. resulted in unexpected disorder53. After the Dallas-Fort Worth report, TSA _. A. reluctantly punished the relevant agents B. allowed the relevant agents to stay in position C. enhanced security check at relevant airports D. began to reconsider relevant security method

43、s54. The TSAs statement concerning the reported cases shows that they are _. A. practical B. uncooperative C. reliable D. unpredictable55. Whats the authors demand for TSA? A. No more secret testing. B. Promising to be responsible. C. Rapid response to emergency. D. Releasing results with evidence.5

44、6. The last sentence of the passage suggests that the authors attitude to the TSA is _. A. appreciative B. critical C. tolerant D. indifferentPassage Two Once upon a time, staying a healthy weight was easy. To lose weight you simply had to practice the reverse of home economics spend more than you earned. Unfortunately for many, but perhaps not surprisingly, it turns out that people are rather more complicated than bank accounts. To stay a healthy weight, you need a hormone called leptin to work properly. It sends “Im full” messages from the fat cells up to the brain, where they
