Aetually,almost every day we come across situations in which we have to make decisions one way or 16 . And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choice, the whole system is merely an illusion, a false ideal created by companies and advertisers, 17 (hope) to sell their products. The endless choice gives birth to 18 (anxious) in peoples lives.Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly simple. Easy access 19 a wide range of everyday goods leads to 20 sense of powerlessness in many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away, or just buying a rather 21 (suit) item (商品) that is not really wanted.Recently, some studies in England 22 (show) that many electrical goods bought in almost every family are not really needed. It is not just the availability of the goods that is the problem, 23 the speed with which new types of products come on the market. Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The typical example is the computer,which is almost out-of-date once it 24 (buy). This indeed makes selection a problem. The days are gone forever 25 one could just walk with ease into a shop and buy one thing.、 阅读（共两节，满分50分）第一节阅读理解（共20小题：每小题2分，满分40分） 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have generally viewed personal growth as an external (外在的) result or a product that can easily be identified and measured. The worker who gets a rise; the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language - all these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts. By contrast, the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since it is a journey, and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way. The process is not the road itself, but the attitudes, feelings people have, and their caution or courage,as they meet with new experiences and unexpected difficulties. In this process, the journey never really ends; there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try and new challenges to accept. In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to face the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may fail at first. How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is necessary for our ability to grow. Do we see ourselves as quick and curious? If so, we tend to take more chances and be more open to unfamiliar experiences. Do we think were show and indecisive? Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly,and we think we are slow to adapt change or that were not smart enough to deal with a newchallenge. Then we are likely to take a more passive ro1e or not try at all. These feelings of insecurity and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow. If we protect ourselves too much, then we stop growing, We become trapped inside a shell of our own making.26. A person is generally believed to achieve personal growth when A. he has given up his smoking habit B. he has made great efforts in his work C. he is keen on leaning anything new D. he has tried to determine where he is on his journey27. In the authors eyes, one who views personal growth as a process would A. succeed in climbing up the social ladder B. judge his ability to grow from his own achievements C. face difficulties and take up challenges D. aim high and reach his goal each time28. In the third paragraph, a new way of being refers to A. a new approach to experiencing the world B. a new method of perceiving ourselves C. a new way of taking risks D. a new system of adaptation to change29. For personal growth, the author advocates all of the following except A. staying curious about more chances B. having an open-minded to new experiences C. being quick in self-adaptation D. avoiding internal fears and doubts30. The best title for this passage should be A. GrowthFacing New Challenges B. GrowthProduct or Process C. GrowthTwo Basic Ways of Growth D. GrowthOvercoming Internal Fears B Five young people in Massachusetts were reported to have developed an idea. The team knew that the development of technology and science has made the world filled with mobile phones. About eighty percent of all people are said to live within reach of a wireless telephone signal. The idea was to use mobile phones and the Internet to connect job seekers with employers. The young people wrote a business plan and formed a company called Assured Labor. Assured labor won a development competition at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.Tree of the founders were graduate students there. Assured Labor is an electronic marketplace. It has two parts. One is for the United States,That operation was launched in January in Boston. It links people with employers offering temporary jobs. That other part of the business is for developing markets. That operation is meant to help people get more permanent jobs. A representative is currently building partnerships with universities and big companies in Central America. The president of Assured Labor, David Reich, says the companies now place jobadvertisements on radio or in newspapers. Some even drive around in cars with loudspeakers announcing that jobs are available. He says the companies are interested in having more modem hiring practices. Through Assured Labor, companies will list open positions on the interact. People who think they could do the job could reply by the text message or on their cell-phones. The jobs available include house cleaning, dog walking and home repair. People who want their house cleaned, for example, can look online at a list of twenty housekeepers. The list tells what services that applicants offer and how much they want to be paid. They need two letters praising their work to get on the list of service providers. The employer chooses workers they would like to hire. The company then sentls the applicants a text or e-mail message so they can respond quickly to an offer. After a job is completed, flae employer and the employee evaluate each other The evaluation is kept for future use. Assured Labor is not charging anyone right now, but the plan is to have employers pay for the service. 31.

From the passage, we can infer that _ A. the founders of Assured Labor were all university graduates B. Assured Labor only helps people to get temporary jobs C. the jobs available include house cleaning, dog walking and home repair D. Assured Labor has not made any money yet up to now C Speeding off in a stolen car, the thief is quite content, thinking that he has got a great catch.But he is in for an unwelcome surprise. The car is fitted with a remote immobilizer (锁止器),and a radio signal from a Control centre miles away will ensure that once the thief switches the engine off, he will not be able to start it again. The idea goes like this. A control box fitted to the car contains a mini-cell-phone, a microprocessor and memory, and a GPS satellite positioning receiver. If the car is stolen, a coded cell-phone signal will tell the control centre to block the vehicles engine management system and prevent the engine from being restarted. In the UK, a set of technical fixes is already making life harder for car thieves. The pattern of vehicle crime has changed, says Martyn Randall, a security expert. He says it would only take him a few minutes to teach a person how to steal a car, using a bare minimum of tools. But only if the car is more than 10 years old. Modem cars are far tougher to steal, as their engine management computer wont allow them to start unless they receive a unique ID code beamed out by the ignition (点火) key. In the UK, technologies like this have helped achieve a 31% drop in vehicle-related crime since the year 1997. But determined criminals, are still managing to fred other ways to steal cars, often by getting bold of the owners keys. And key theft is responsible for 40% of the thefts of vehictes fitted with a tracking system. If the car travels 100 metres without the driver confirming their ID, the system will send a signal to an operations centre that the car has been stolen. The hundred metres minimum avoids false alarms due to inaccuracies in the GPS signal. Staff at the centre will then contact the owner to confirm that the car is really missing, and keep police informed of the vehicles movements via the cars GPS unit.36. The remote immobilizer fitted to a ear is intended A. to help the police make a surprise, attack on the car thief B. to allow the car to lock automatically when stolen C. to prevent the car thief from restarting it once it stops D. to prevent car theft by sending a radio signal to the ear owner37. By saying The pattern of vehicle crime has changed (Para. 3), Martvn Randall suggests that . A. it takes a longer time for the ear thief to do the stealing B. self-prepared tools are no longer enough for car theft C. the thief has to make use of computer technology D. the thief has lost interest in stealing cars over 10 years old38. What is essential in making a modem ear tougher to steal? A. A coded ignition key. B. A special cell-phone signal. C. A unique ID card. D. A GPS satellite positioning receiver. 39. The operations centre will first after receiving an alarm. A. start the tracking system B. contact the car owner C. block the car engine D. locate the missing car40. What is the passage mainly about? A. Modem cars rarely suffer from car thefts. B. The development of technology affects the auto industry. C. A remote immobilizer reduces vehicle-related crime. D. Car thieves could be stopped remotely. D Last Sunday I made a visit to some new neighbors down the block. No specific.purpose in mind, just an opportunity to sit at the kitchen table, have some tea and chat. As I did so, it occurred to me how rare the Sunday visit has become. When I was a kid in the New Jersey of the 19.60s, Sunday visits were routine. Most stores were closed, almost nobody worked, and the highways, as a result, were not the desperate steeplechases (障碍赛跑) they have become today. My family normally traveled eight city blocks to the home of my grandmother-the same house my father was raised in, where adults would sit on the front porch and chat while we children played hide-and-seek. The Sunday visit was something to desire strongly. It was the repetition to church, our reward for an hour of devotion, an opportunity to take advantage of the fact that Dad was not at work, we were not in school, and there were no chores that couldnt wait until Monday. Sunday was, indeed, different from all the other days of the week, because everyone seemed to be on the same schedule, which means that there was one day when everyone seemed to have time for everybody else. Sunday as a day of rest is, or was, so deeply rooted in the culture that its surprising to consider that, in a short span of time, it has almost entirely-lost this association. In my childhood,it was assumed that everyone would either be home or visiting someone elses home on Sunday.But now the question is. What do you plan to DO this Sunday? The answer can range from going to the mall to participating in a road race to getting to Montreal for lunch. If one were to respond, Im making a Sunday visit to family, such an answer would feel sepia-toned, an echo from another era. I suppose I should be grateful to live in Maine, a state of small towns, abundant land and tight relationships. Even though folks work as hard here as they do anywhere else, the states powerfully rural style still harbors at least remnants (遗风) of the ethic of yesterdays America, where people had to depend on one another in the face of economic changes and a challenging environment. 41. The writers general impression of the Sunday in the past was a day when A. everyone was paying a visit to some relatives far-away
