第3题
My wife and I spent two weeks in London last year. We went there in autumn. We think it is the best season to visit England. The weather is usually quite pleasant and there aren't too many tourists in October.
We stayed in a small hotel in the West End. It was convenient as we did most of our sight seeing on foot. Taxis were too expensive; the bus routes were too difficult for us to understand; and my wife didn't like traveling by underground. She said it made her feel shut in.
We went to look at the places, which all tourists see. We saw Buckingham Palace, the National Gallery and Piccadilly Circus. We went shopping in Oxford Street and spent too much money. What we liked most, though, was going to the theatre. We don't have the chance to see such wonderful plays at home. A lot of people say English food is very bad. We didn't think so. It's true that most of the restaurants are French or Italian or Chinese, but we had some very good meals.
In fact, we enjoyed our holiday so much that we have booked another trip to England for this year. We're going to take our umbrellas, though. I'm sure we'll need them.
1)、While in London, the writer and his wife usually got around on foot.
A.T
B.F
2)、The wife didn't like traveling by underground because it was not fast enough.
A.T
B.F
3)、They could visit good museums in London that they have no chance of doing at home.
A.T
B.F
4)、In London it is not easy for people to find English restaurants.
A.T
B.F
5)、They are going to take their umbrellas because it often rains in London.

听力原文： All right! Enough cookies, cola, and chips! It seems that junk food is all that the children want to eat these days.Television controls their tastes. The kids see well-known personalities eating potato chips, candy, and other processed food, and they want to be like their heroes. How do they do it？ They eat the same food. I wish there were more characters like old Popeye the sailor, who ate spinach and not French fries.
Just because I like brown rice, beans, and fresh vegetables, I don't expect my children to cat this "health food." I'm glad to cook traditional meals of meat and potato for them. I really can't be too upset with the kids because most adults aren't careful about what they eat. The other night, my wife and I went to a party where there was plenty to drink but very little for us to eat. They served hot dogs and hamburgers. I can't eat hot dogs, with all those preservatives, and hamburgers are filled with chemicals so that they look good. Besides the meat, they had sugar filled cookies and cake, and, of course, chips. Terrible! I don't want the world to change because of me, but I think that people should realize that there are alternatives to eating meat. They always tell me that I probably don't get my essential proteins. But I feel better than ever and I'm sure that it's because I'm vegetarian. I would really like to see more television advertisements which show the benefits of good, healthy, natural food.
(26)
A．Beans.
B．Cookies.
C．French fries.
D．Potato chips.

第5题
1+Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between a writer and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours at a typewriter. “You have got to want to write,” I said to them, “not want to be a writer.”
The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded. When I left a 20-year career in the U.S. Coast Guard to become a freelance writer, I had no prospects at all. What I did have was a friend who found for me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.
After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t got a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for many years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who died wondering. What if？ I would keep putting my dream to test (even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure). This is the shadow-land of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.
21、The passage is meant to _______ .
A.warn young people of the hardship that a successful writer has to experience
B.advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer
C.show young people it is unrealistic for a writer to pursue wealth
D.encourage young people to pursue a writing career
24、In “…people who died wondering”, “who” refers to those _______ .
A.who think too much of the dark side of life
B.who regret giving up their career halfway
C.who think a lot without making a decision
D.who are full of imagination even upon death
25、“Shadow-land” in the last sentence refers to _______ .
A.the wonderland one often dreams about
B.the bright future that one is looking forward to
C.the state of uncertainty before one’s final goal is reached
D.a world that exists only in one’s imagination

I'm Michael Bush, Managing Director of Hoogle Engineering. I am pleased to
welcome you here to our website and I'd like to tell you a little about the
company and its organization. Hoogle Engineering was set up in 1960. It was
divided into several departments at that time, such as the sales department,
marketing department, and production department. Lots of managers were employed
to manage it all.
Fortunately things are different now. Sixty people are employed by Hoogle and
communication between departments is considered to be one of the most important
aspects of the business. The market is global so we need to make contact with
customers worldwide, not just locally.
But in the old days we were all in different departments and never spoke to
each other. We had a tall structure. Traditionally we had people at the first
level on the shop floor, manufacturing products according to the instructions
which they were given. Then you had a supervisory level of people who supervised
them every day. Then you moved up to the middle management, who were doing the
tasks of getting new business, and then you had the senior management team, and
then you had the board, who decided the business strategy. So there were a lot
of levels in the company in the old days actually.
The structure today is that we form. teams within teams to place people who
can manufacture a product. Each team has members that can manufacture different
products. The actual teams now are self-managing, so we don't even have team
leaders. You've got the teams, and then you've got two people, only two people,
who are what you think of as management. This is generally called flat
structure.
21. Hoogle Engineering was set up in().
A. the nineteenth century
B. the twentieth century
C. the twenty first century
22. There are many different()of management in a tall structure.
A. kinds
B. levels
C. functions
23. People in a flat structure usually work in().
A. departments
B. families
C. teams
24. All of the following statements are true according to the passage EXCEPT
that().
A. communication in the company is becoming more and more important
B. the author thinks the two structures have the same functions
C. there are more individual responsibilities in the flat structure
25. The best title for the passage is().
A. Organization Structure in Hoogle Engineering
B. History of Hoogle Engineering
C. Success in Hoogle engineering

Like most people, I was brought up to look upon life as a process of getting. It was not until in my late thirties that I made this important discovery: giving-away makes life so much more exciting. One discovery I made about giving-away is that it is almost impossible to give away anything in this world without getting something back, though the return often comes in an unexpected form. One Sunday morning the local post office delivered an important special delivery letter to my home, though it was addressed to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of appreciation. More than a year later I needed a post-office box for a new business I was starting. I was told at the window that there were no boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long waiting list. As I was about to leave, the postmaster appeared in the doorway. He had overheard our conversation. “Wasn’t it you that wrote us that letter a year ago about delivering a special delivery to your home？” I said it was. “Well, you certainly are going to have a box in this post office if we have to make one for you. You don’t know what a letter like that means to us. We usually get nothing but complaints.”

Learning English for 2008 Beijing OlympicsYang Zhenhua has been a taxi driver for years
Learning English for 2008 Beijing Olympics
Yang Zhenhua has been a taxi driver for years. He knows every corner of the city. His work usually wins him thanks except when he meets foreigners, for Yang doesn't know any English.
"Now I study English in my free time," said Yang in his 40s. He pulls an English textbook from the toolbox. "I study English to help with Beijing Olympics," he said proudly. Yang is just one of the millions of common people in Beijing who started to learn English when Beijing became the host city of the 2008 Olympic Games. Learning and speaking is hot among the people of this 3,000-year-old city. From schools to factories, men and women, old and young are studying their "ABC". Books teaching useful expressions for everyday communication(交际) are the most popular.
Some people, such as taxi drivers, bus conductors and the policemen, are asked to learn basic English. Nearly 3,000 students from 50 universities in Beijing went to the streets last August as volunteers to teach English to the people of this city. They taught common and useful sentences, such as greetings and asking and answering simple questions. Official figures show that about 15% of Beijing citizens can speak English. It is said that it will rise to 70% or 80% during the following years. Besides, the government encourages the use of English in many places. The city underground railways give messages by radio in both English and Chinese. English, not Chinese, is used as the most important working language for the Olympic Committee(委员会). Nearly all the committee members can speak English freely. Many are good at the language.

Passage Two “One of the reasons I find this topic very interesting is because my mom was
Passage Two
“One of the reasons I find this topic very interesting is because my mom was a smoker when I was younger，”says Lindson-Hawley, who studies tobacco and health at the University of Oxford.
By studying about 700 adult smokers, she found out that her mom quit the right way—by stopping abruptly and completely.
In her study, participants were randomly (随机地)assigned to two groups. One had to quit abruptly on a given day, going from about a pack a day to zero. The other cut down gradually over the course of two weeks. People in both groups used nicotine (尼古丁)patches before they quit, in addition to a second form. of nicotine replacement, like gum or spray. They also had talk therapy with a nurse before and after quit day.
Six months out, more people who had quit abruptly had stuck with it—more than one-fifth of them, compared to about one-seventh in the other group. Although these numbers appear low, it is much higher than if people try without support.
And the quit rates were particularly convincing given that before the study started, most of the people had said they&39;d rather cut down gradually before quitting.“If you&39;re training for a marathon, you wouldn’t expect to turn up and just be able to run it. And I think people see that for smoking as well. They think,‘ Well， if I gradually reduce, it&39;s like practice，&39;”says Lindson-Hawley. But that wasn&39;t the case. Instead of giving people practice, the gradual reduction likely gave them cravings (瘾)and withdrawal symptoms before they even reached quit day, which could be why fewer people in that group actually made it to that point. “Regardless of your stated preference, if you&39;re ready to quit, quitting abruptly is more effective,”says Dr. Gabriela Ferreira. “When you can quote a specific number like a fifth of the patients were able to quit, that&39;s compelling. It gives them the encouragement, I think, to really go for it，”Ferreira says.
People rarely manage to quit the first time they try. But at least, she says, they can maximize the odds of success.
What does Lindson-Hawley say about her mother？
A.She quit smoking with her daughter’s help
B.She succeeded in quitting smoking abruptly
C.She was also a researcher of tobacco and health
D.She studied the smoking patterns of adult smokers
How does Dr. Gabriela Ferreira view the result of Lindson-Hawley's experiment？A.It is idealized
B.It is unexpected
C.It is encouraging
D.It is misleading
What happens when people try to quit smoking gradually？A.They find it even more difficult
B.They are simply unable to make it
C.They show fewer withdrawal symptoms
D.They feel much less pain in the process
What kind of support did smokers receive to quit smoking in Lindson-Hawley’s study？A.They were given physical training
B.They were looked after by physicians
C.They were encouraged by psychologists
D.They were offered nicotine replacements
The idea of “a marathon”(Line 2, Para.5) illustrates the popular belief that quitting smokingA.is something few can accomplish
B.needs some practice first
C.requires a lot of patience
D.is a challenge at the beginning
