Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought Id hitch a ride (搭便车).I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldnt give me a lift, I should e back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured （使放心）me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride.

I made him fortable on the back seat and offered him some water.After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You havent changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.” I couldnt remember where Id met him.

He has a good heart，but always feared applying for a new job.One day，he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment was at 10 am and it was already 8: 30.While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed，he saw an elderly man wildly kicking the tyre（轮胎） of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car，the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need，and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said，“Well，I could take you to the office for your interview. Its the least I could do. Please，I insist.” Jimmy agreed.Upon arrival，Jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed. Jimmy still had some grease on him after the car repair，but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt. One by one，the applicants left the interviewers office with disappointed looks on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth，he asked，“Do you really need to be interviewed？” Jimmys heart sank. “With the way I look now，how could I possibly pass this interview？” he thought to himself.Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmys surprise，it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out he was the General Manager of the pany.“Sorry I had to keep you waiting，but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into this office. I just know youd be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations！”Jimmy sat down and they shared a cup of well deserved（当之无愧的）coffee as he landed （使获得）himself a new job.28.

However, since electricity became more and more expensive, people began to pay much more attention to the energy they could get for their houses and the new ways they could find to protect their houses from both cold and heat.Now, houses of an old yet new type have been widely built. In some parts of the world, people share their houses with their livestock（家畜）.During cold weather, they gather their cows, goats, or other animals and keep them on the first floor of their houses. The reasons are that the animals can be protected from the cold and that they can help to heat the houses as well. The body heat given off by the animals rises to the second floor of the houses, where people live. By sharing their houses with their livestock, people gain a source of heat.People who live in or near cities do not usually keep livestock. However, home builders use the fact that heat rises. This natural law can be used in building houses in these areas. Instead of keeping livestock on the first floor, builders fill it with large rocks. As they are open to the suns rays during cold weather, these rocks take in heat. They also give off the heat, and, of course, the warm air rises into the living areas of the houses. So these houses are energy-saving.House-building bees a great challenge（挑战）to building designers and energy engineers. They try to meet this challenge by learning from old traditions and by using modern technology. And someday in the future, people will be able to live in more energy-saving houses.32What did people begin to consider as electricity was no longer cheap?A. The climate of their areas. B. The energy for their houses.C. The fashions for their houses. D. The building materials for their houses.33People in some areas gain a source of heat by _.A. keeping their livestock downstairs B. protecting their livestock from the coldC. sharing their houses only with their cows D. living on the second floor with their livestock34The underlined words “natural law” in the third paragraph refer to the fact that _.A. heat raises the temperature in the houses B. heat goes in the upward directionC. heat goes up if temperature is raised D. heat increases the temperature of rocks35From the passage, we can conclude that _.A. people will no longer consider building materials in the futureB. energy-saving buildings will bee more popular in the futureC. almost all people will move into the houses heated by large rocksD. energy engineers will devote themselves only to modern technology第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Does this situation seem familiar to you？Your English is progressing well，the grammar is now familiar，the reading prehension is no problem，and you are speaking quite fluently.36 First of all，remember that you are not alone. Listening is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language.37 what you need to do is to find listening resources. The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from RealMedia. The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis，you might still be frustrated(受阻)by limited understanding. 38 Here is some of the advice I give my students：Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.Stay relaxed when you do not understand，and try listening to the material for more times.Do not translate everything into your native language.39 Dont concentrate on detail until you have understood the main ideas.Listen to something you enjoy.I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the beginning，when I didnt understand a word，I insisted on translating it in my mind. 40 Then，after the first six months，I discovered two extremely important facts；Firstly，translating creates a barrier between the listener and the speaker. Secondly，most people repeat themselves constantly. By remaining calm，I noticed that even if I didnt pay much attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said.AWhat should you do?BBut listening is a problem for most of the beginners!CHowever，after several weeks，I got used to the grammar rulesDThe most important thing is to listen as often as possible.EThis method usually resulted in confusion.FListen for the general idea of the conversation.GBut you cant follow a native English speaker at all!第三部分语言知识运用(共两节，满分45分) 第一节，完形填空。As a junior student in middle school, I hadnt seen my primary school for nearly two years.
