We spent about three hours trying to pull out the car without any progressFinally, we decided to walkAs it was hard for an old man or a young boy to walk more than 40km in the desert, I decided to get help myselfI took a bottle of water with me and started to walk south aloneI knew the way well, but it was a long way in the sandI walked more than four hours without stoppingWhen I felt so tired and thirsty, I stopped to restI drank all the water and slept for around two hoursWhen I got up, it was darkI continued to walk southI was worried about my uncle and cousinSuddenly, I met a Bedouin man who was riding his camelHe took me to his houseWhen I had had enough rest, I asked him to take me to the road where I found a carIt took me to the city to get helpI had one day to get back to my uncle and cousinWhen I got back to them, they were so happy because I had gotten help and they were able to see me again56Which word can best describe the first evening of their hunting trip?AAdventurous BEnjoyable CStressful DExhausting57How did the writer finally get out of the desert?AHe was picked up by a carBA camel took him to the roadCA passer-by Bedouin helped himDHis uncle and cousin found and rescued him58What can be inferred from the story?AIts an easy job to walk 40km in the desertBThe author loved to go hunting with his familyCThe hunting trip is much longer than expectedDTo hunt in the desert one must train a falcon wellBNot so long ago almost any student who successfully completed a university degree could find a good career quite easilyCompanies toured the academic institutions, competing with each other to select graduatesHowever, those days are gone, even in Hong Kong, and nowadays graduates often face strong competition in the search for jobsMost careers organizations highlight three stages for graduates to follow in the process of securing a suitable career：recognizing abilities, matching these to available jobs and presenting them well to possible employersJob seekers have to make a careful assessment of their own abilitiesOne area of assessment should be of their academic qualifications, which would include special skills within their subject areaGraduates should also consider their own personal values and attitudesAn honest assessment of personal interests and abilities such as creative skills, or skills acquired from work experience, should also be given careful thoughtThe second stage is to study the opportunities available for employment and to think about how the general employment situation is likely to develop in the futureTo do this, graduates can study job and position information in newspapers, or they can visit a careers office, write to possible employers for information or contact friends or relatives who may already be involved in a particular professionAfter studying all the various options, they should be in a position to make informed comparisons between various careersGood personal presentation is essential in the search for a good careerJob application forms and letters should, of course, be filled in carefully and correctly, without grammar or spelling errorsWhere additional information is asked for, job seekers should describe their abilities and work experience in more depth, with examples if possibleThey should try to balance their own abilities with the employers needs, explain why they are interested in a career with the particular company and try to show that they already know something about the company and its activitiesWhen graduates go to an interview, they should prepare properly by finding out all they can about the possible employerDressing suitably and arriving for the interview on time are also importantInterviewees should try to give positive and helpful answers and should not be afraid to ask questions about anything they are unsure aboutThis is much better than pretending to understand a question and giving an unsuitable answer59“Those days are gone, even in Hong Kong” in Paragraph 1 suggests that_Afinding a good career used to be easier in Hong Kong than elsewhere Bnow everyone in Hong Kong has an equal chance of finding a good jobCgraduates now face stronger competition in Hong Kong than elsewhere Deven in Hong Kong companies tour universities trying to select graduates60It is implied in Paragraph 3 that graduates should_ Aaim to give a balanced account of what the employer needs Bconsider careers which suit their values, interests and abilities Cstress their personal attitudes and values in job applications Drecognize their own abilities regardless of what the employer looks for61According to Paragraph 4, graduates should_ Afind a good position and then compare it with other careers Bask friends or relatives to secure them a good job Cget information about a number of careers before making comparisons Dstudy the opportunities and the kinds of training that will be available62In the last paragraph, the writer seems to suggest that _ Ainterviewees should appear humble if they cant give an answer Bdressing properly is more important than being able to give an answer Cit is better for interviewees to be honest than to pretend to understand Dit is a good idea for interviewees to be boastful in their answersCDuring a state of deep relaxation, several physiological changes take place in the body: the bodys oxygen consumption is reduced; the heart beat decreases; muscle tension and sweating ease, and there is decreased sympathetic （交感的） nervous system activityThis restful state not only allows the body to repair and restore itself, but it has a calming effect on the consciousness How to achieve this state of relaxation, however, is a matter of opinion, and in some medical circles, a matter of controversyA recent report by DrDavid Holmes of the University of Kansas in the journal “American psychologist” said that simply sitting in an armchair has just as many beneficial characteristics for the body as meditation （冥想） doesResearchers of other relaxation techniques disagreeThese experts believe that more structured techniques, such as meditation, lead to a condition of deep relaxation The debate goes on, but one thing appears to be clear: the relaxation response can be reached by a number of methods, and the methods themselves are not as important as getting thereOne day, one method may work best; on another day, an alternative method may be more appropriateOnce you are aware of all the methods, you can find the one that works best on you Some of the relaxation techniques are meditation, auto analysis and progressive muscle relaxation responseMore than just sitting quietly in a chair, they have the added benefit of structure and discipline, and for these reasons appear to be more effective for most individuals63According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true when a person is in a state of deep relaxation? AThe body takes in less oxygenBThe heart beats less frequentlyCMuscles become tense and the body sweats easilyDThe consciousness becomes more or less calmed64People seem to agree that _Asitting in an armchair benefits a person as meditation doesBstructured relaxation techniques are more beneficial for a personCto achieve a state of deep relaxation is possible through various meansDwhat people are all struggling for is a state of deep relaxation65In the third paragraph, the phrase “getting there” means _Aarriving at ones destination Bgetting what one wants most Cfinding out a suitable relaxation technique Dreaching a state of deep relaxation 66The authors attitude toward relaxation discussed in the passage is best described as _Asceptical Bobjective Coptimistic Dcritical DAccording to the United States government, people are classified as homeless if they have no place to stay and no expectation of finding a place for the next thirty daysAlthough technically accurate, that is an impersonal assessment of an enormous and very human problemThe homeless population represents all of us AmericansIt includes men and women, the elderly, children, and infantsIts members are from all ethnic groupsWhat they have in common is povertyCurrently in the US, thirty-nine million people live in povertyWhen money is really tight, paying the rent or buying food often becomes a choiceGovernment assistance in the form of food stamps does help but, as one homeless man explains, you cant pay the rent with food stampsWith no money for rent, the streets and homeless shelters become the alternativeAlthough men constitute the largest group within the homeless population, homeless women with children are rapidly joining themIn fact, one quarter of the homeless people in the USare teenagers and young childrenPeople may become homeless for numerous reasonsHowever, there are certain factors that many of these individuals have in commonThey include a lack of adequate education and job skillsA majority of the teenagers and adults have not completed high schoolThe abuse of alcohol and drugs is also a common factorOne third of the adult homeless population abuses alcoholWhile one quarter of the same group uses drugsSome members of this population suffer mental health problemsWithin the past several years many institutions for the mentally ill have been closed and their patients sent “home”Unfortunately, a number of those people have no home to go to and they are unable to adequately look after themselvesJob loss in todays economy has also become a real factor in the loss of peoples homesThe breakup of families through abandonment and divorce are also contributing factors, particularly when there are children involvedThe parent who is left to care for the kids with inadequate income may be forced to depend on the homeless shelters to put a roof over their heads67The writer thinks that the USgovernments definition for the homeless reveals _Aan insincere attitude toward the homelessBan unbearable attitude toward the homelessCan uncivilized attitude toward the homelessDan unsympathetic attitude toward the homeless68The USgovernment helps the homeless by _Agiving them homeless allowanceBgiving them food stampsCfinding jobs for themDfinding residence for them69People become homeless for all the following reasons EXCEPT _Athe lack of adequate educationBthe abuse of alcohol and drugsCthe closure of institutions for the mentally illDthe poor performance of economy70The breakup of families is likely to lead to homelessness because a parent with kids may_Alose his or her job in todays economyBbe unable to look after the kidsCnot have enough incomeDfind residence at a homeless shelter第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Are Societies Ageing Too Fast?An ageing society is one in which the population of people over the age of 60 is increasingThe global population at present is about 6 billion with 1 person in every 10 aged 60 or above_71_This will mean that for the first time in human history the population of older persons will be larger than the population of children!
