After 15 minutes, he saw some customers at the front desk and excused himself. I noticed that before he went to the front desk, he stopped in the kitchen for a moment.

There are many advantages for the social science major because this high-tech “Information Age” demands people who are flexible and who have good munication skills.There are many social science majors in large panies who fill important positions. For example, a number of research studies found that social science majors had achieved greater managerial success than those who had technical training or pre-professional courses. Studies show that social science majors are most suited for change, which is the leading feature(特点) of the kind of high-speed, high-pressure, high-tech world we now live in.Social science majors are not only experiencing success in their long-term pany jobs, but they are also finding jobs more easily. A study showed that many panies had filled a large percentage of their entry-level positions with social science graduates. The study also showed that the most sought-after quality in a person who was looking for a job was munication skills, noted as “very important”, by 92 percent of the panies. Social science majors have these skills, often without knowing how important they are. It is probably due to these skills that they have been offered a wide variety of positions.Finally, although some social science majors may still find it more difficult than their technically trained classmates to land the first job, recent graduates report that they dont regret their choice of study.25. By saying that “you may have had the last laugh” in the first paragraph, the author means that you may have _.A. shared the jokes with puter majors B. earned as much as puter majorsC. stopped joking about puter majors D. found jobs more easily than puter majors 26. pared with graduates of other subjects, social science graduates _. A. are ready to change when situations change B. are better able to deal with difficulties C. are equally good at puter skills D. are likely to give others pressure27. The underlined word “land” in the last paragraph probably means _. A. keep for some time B. successfully get C. immediately start D. lose regretfully28. According to the text, what has made it easy for social science graduates to find jobs? A. Willingness to take low-paid jobs. B. Readiness to gain high-tech knowledge. C. Skills in expressing themselves. D. Part-time work experience.DEncouraging early reading skills can build a path to a lifelong love of reading and can help your child get a head start in school. While reading to your child is still the most important thing you can do to build reading skills, there are many techniques that can help.Make reading fun. Play games with your child as you read. Many traditional childrens games can be adapted to encourage reading skills. While reading or during play, tell your child, “I spy with my little eye, something that begins with the letter b.” Help the child find something on the page or in the room that begins with that letter. For example, “I see a barn.” This can also be used to teach beginning letter sounds. “I spy with my little eye, something that begins with the sounds.” Help the child find a word that begins with the “s” sound.In this variation(变化) on the popular game, instruct the child that, “Simon says, point to something that starts with the letter n.” The child can then find an object in the room or a body part, such as the nose, that starts with the letter presented. This can also be used to teach beginning sounds.Make a game out of rhyming (押韵) words by making up silly words to rhyme with the childs name or favorite toys. This sets the stage for rhyming real words by showing the child the similarities of sounds. As the child masters making up the words, begin rhyming real words to one another.Tips to raise a successful reader:Put books in places where the child plays. If books are easily accessible, children are more likely to pick them up.Let children “read to you” by looking at pictures. Making up stories to go along with illustrations helps children discover how words relate to pictures.Take books along on trips or even short visits to the doctors office or grocery store.Have children help you shop. Reading grocery lists and looking for specific items help build vocabulary.32. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. A good reading habit can benefit your child at school.B. puter games help children develop reading skills.C. You should be careful as for what books to read. D. Children enjoy reading poems to their parents. 33. What can we conclude from the text?A. The most important thing is to make reading funny.B. Children have a preference for stories with pictures.C. Rhyming games should begin only with real words. D. Children tend to read more if books are at hand. 34. What message does the author deliver in the passage?A. Interest is the best teacher B. Practice makes perfect C. Good methods are half done D. Failure teaches success 35. What are the intended readers of the text?A. Parents. B. Children C. Educators. D. People in general. 第二节：信息匹配 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的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。Once my mother told me a story. In Africa, when an antelope wakes up every morning, the first thing it thinks about is, “I must be able to run faster than the fastest lion, or I will be killed.” _36 The first thing the lion thinks about is, “I must be able to catch the slowest antelope, or I will starve to death.” So, almost at the same time, they get up and start running toward the rising sun.This is life: full of chances and challenges. 37 For students, it is just the same. If we do not study hard, sooner or later, we will fall behind the other students. At first, I did not know what the word “exam” meant. Later, I knew an exam was a kind of petition. In petitions, there are always winners and losers. As I grew up, I got to know petition well. 38 Each time I saw children playing games, and heard their laughter, I wished I were that age again. 39 So I picked up my pen and began to study hard again.I was still not sure what petition really meant. One day, I was taking part in an English-speaking petition. When I went to the stage, I saw other students looking at me kindly. _40 It is not as cruel as my teacher and parents told me. In fact, petition is the opposite: it is kind and necessary.A. At the same time, a lion wakes from his dream.B. I suddenly knew what petition was.C. Now I understand more about the world.D. In ones life, there must be petitions, so people can improve.E. I learned a lot from realizing this fact.F. However, I remembered my parents words: “You must work very hard in order to have a good future.”G. Whether you are an antelope or a lion, you must go ahead when the sun rises.第三部分：英语知识运用（共三节，满分45分）第一节: 完形填空 (共 20 小题; 每小题 1.5 分, 满分 30 分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。Antonio and Charles were good friends, and both of them were sailors.
