She came to America when she was 12-old enough to remember her language, she achieved scores and grades high enough to be admitted to Duke University. With a degree in puter science, she finally became the manager of a pany in New York. My mother could give fluent speeches, say “wolves” correctly. It was my mother who always stressed the importance of language. From the time I was born, I was read to. I would fall asleep to the sounds of my parents voices, whether it was my dads softly accented, or my mothers clear English. The flow of language was unbroken, and whether in Chinese or English, the stream of munication flowed through our house.One October morning in sixth grade, after my mother had left to catch the train to the city, I left the house for the bus stop. I was surprised when I saw our car, the door hanging open. As I drew closer, I saw my mother lying on the ground. In the hospital, it was hard to believe that the lady who lay before me was my mom. My mother could not remember my name. As the leaves changed colors, it became clear that the stroke had created a wall between my mothers mind and mouth: Her mind was not any less clear, but the words she spoke were not what she meant. The battle my mother faced taught me the importance of language. Without it, identity does not exist; relationships cannot be formed; stories cannot be told; directions cannot be given, and knowing anything about anyone is impossible. Without language, munication cannot take place. Without language, one cannot express the beauty of a sunset or the kindness of a stranger. The world would pass us by in silence.21.

The practical approach, coupled with a record number of students graduating from college, is expected to strengthen petition in the job market, analysts said.More than 76 percent of university students said they wanted to work after earning their degrees this summer, up from 68. 5 percent in xx and 73. 6 percent last year, according to poll results from Zhaopin. , a major online agency, Zhu Bo.The annual survey also shows that about 20 percent university graduates chose to further education after graduation, while about 3 percent wanted to start their own businesses.Zeng Hao , a 25-year-old media major, managed to land a job in a publishing pany in Zhongshan, Guangdong province, before he received his masters degree from the University of Macau in June. Work experience really matters in the publishing industry he said.Wei Guihong , a program administrator at Nanjing University, said about 60 percent of the schools graduates entered the labor market every year. “More and more students majoring in a foreign language choose to go abroad to continue their studies to improve their language skills, she said continuously, Thats perhaps a bright future.”Liu Junsheng , a researcher at the Labor and Wage Institute of the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security, believes that economic conditions play a vital role in shaping college graduates choices .“There were fewer job opportunities in the market. ” he said. Although academic degrees still matter, more and more employers value job seekers work experience. he said.The Zhaopin. survey shows that each of the graduates sent resumes(履历) on average to about 28 potential employers and received five interview opportunities.24.

Those findings e from a new report in the journal Nature. There are ways to solve this diet-health-environment problem. But they will require a change in eating habits, And what we eat can be a product of culture, personal taste, price and ease. David Tilman is a professor of ecology at the University of Minnesota. In the study, he examined information from 100 countries to identify what people ate and how diet affected health. Mr Tilman noted a movement beginning in the 1960s. He found that as nations industrialized, population increased and earning rose, more people began to adopt what has been called the Western diet.The Western diet is high in refined, or processed, sugar, fat, oil and meat. By eating these foods, people began to get fatter and sicker. “The excess, let us say, in the 15 richest nations of the world, right now is on the order of about 400 or 500 extra calories a day that are eaten beyond what people need, and that lead people to gain weight.”David Tilman says overweight people are at greater risk for non-infectious diseases like diabetes, heart disease and some cancers. “Unfortunately when people bee industrialized, if they adopt this Western diet, they are going to have these same health impacts, and in some cases if you are Asian, you have them more severely.”And a diet bad for human beings, it seems, is also bad for the environment, As the worlds population grows, experts say, more forests and tropical areas will bee farmlands for crops or grasslands for grazing cattle. These areas will be needed to meet the increasing demand for food.“We are likely to have more greenhouse gas released in the future from agriculture because of this dietary shift than all the greenhouse gas that right now es out of all forms of transportation. ”Mr Tilman calls the link between diet, the environment and human health “a dilemma”. He says one possible solution is leaving the Western diet behind.28. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the report? A. Different cultures may cause different eating habits, B. Population increase is likely to lead some people to accept the Western diet. C. Western foods will probably make more people overweight. D. The Western diet is unhealthy because it is high in vitamins and proteins.29. What can we learn from the report?A. The Western diet does less harm to the health of Asians. B. More greenhouse gas has been given off from agriculture. C. Western eating habits are responsible for some diseases like cancer. D. Nearly all people in developed countries consume more calories than needed.30. The underlined word “dilemma” in the last paragraph means .A. a relation to be maintained B. an opinion causing an argument C. a decision to be made D. a problem offering a difficult choice31. What does this report mainly tell us?A. What people eat does influence their health. B. Our change in diet will lead to global climate warming. C. The Western diet is bad for environment as well as for human beings. D. Industrialization considerably shortens the lifespan of the world people.DIn recent years many countries have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive. Some experts claim the answer is to make jobs more varied. But do more varied jobs lead to greater productivity? There is evidence to suggest that while variety certainly makes the workers life more enjoyable, it doesnt actually make him work harder. As far as increasing productivity is concerned, then, variety is not an important factor.Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his job in his own way is important. The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its plicated machinery. Thus while freedom of choice may be important, there is usually very little that can be done to create it.Another important consideration is how much each worker contributes to the product he is making. In most factories the worker sees only one small part of the product. Some car factories are now experimenting with having many small production lines .so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line. It would seem that not only is degree of worker contribution an important factor, but it is also one we can do something about.To what extent does more money lead to great productivity? The workers themselves certainly think this is important. But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring. Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A similar argument may explain demands for shorter working hours. Perhaps if we succeed in making their jobs more interesting, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working hours be so important to them.32. According to the author, what advantage do varied jobs bring?A. They increase productivity enormously. B. They reduce boredom among workers.C. They bring out the best in workers. D. They relieve workers difficulties.33. What can we clearly see from the passage?A. Its practical to allow more freedom in a modern factory. B. Its necessary to have a large number of workers. C. Its important to raise workers sense of contribution.D. Its difficult to have more production lines.34. The passage seems to suggest that _.A. more money leads to demands for shorter working hours B. more money does not automatically create higher productivity C. workers like more money better than more interesting jobs D. workers expect to have both more money and more interesting jobs35. What does the passage mainly discuss?A. How to enrich workers1ife.B. How to make workers more productive. C. How to shorten working hours. D. How to decrease dullness in a factory.第二节（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。Today we eat on the go, at our desks and even in front of puters.
