a. we should help the teachers in africa to improve their teaching ways. b. we should help people in africa how to build a good government. c. we should help the african people develop skills to make a living. d. we should help the african people build more schools.27. where can you find these suggestions?a. on a website.b. in a travel guide.c. in a students textbook.d. in a sports magazine.bamericans like to travel on their yearly holiday. today, more and more travelers in the united states are spending nights at small houses or inns instead of hotels. they get a room for the night and the breakfast the next morning.rooms for the night in private homes with breakfast have been popular with travelers in europe for many years. in the past five to ten years, these bed-and-breakfast places have become popular in the united states. many of these americans bed-and-breakfast inns are old historic buildings. some bed-and-breakfast inns have only a few rooms, others are much larger. some inns dont provide telephones or televisions in the rooms, others do. staying at a bed-and-breakfast inn is much different from staying at a hotel. usually the cost is much less. staying at an inn is almost like visiting someones home. the owners are glad to tell about the areas and interesting places to visit. many vacationers say they enjoy the chance to meet local families.28. according to the passage, which of the following is not true? a. the bed-and-breakfast inns have been popular in america for a long time. b. the bed-and-breakfast inns are private homes opened to vacationers. c. some americans like to stay at bed-and-breakfast homes instead of at hotels. d. the bed-and-breakfast inn owners provide a morning meal for their visitors and a room for the night. 29. what can we learn from the passage? a. all americans enjoy travelling. b. these bed-and-breakfast inns are all old historic buildings. c. european and american vacationers like staying at bed-and-breakfast inns. d. staying at a bed-and-breakfast inn is just like staying at travelers home.cthe world is filled with smart, talented, educated and gifted people. we meet them every day. a few days ago, my car was not running well. i pulled it into a factory, and the young worker had it fixed in just a few minutes. he knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine. i was amazed. the sad truth is that great talent is not enough.i am often shocked at how little talented people earn. i heard the other day that less than five percent of americans earn more than $100,000 a year. a business consultant (顾问) who works on the medical business was telling me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially (经济上). it was this business consultant who gave me the phrase, “they are one skill away from great wealth (财富).” there is an old saying that goes, “job means just over broke (破产).” and unluckily, i would say that the saying is for millions of people. because school does not think financial intelligence (智力) is intelligence, most workers “live within their means.” they work and they pay the bills. instead i recommend to young people to find work for what they will learn, more than what they will earn. when i ask the classes i teach, “how many of you can cook a better hamburger than mcdonalds?” almost all the students raise their hands. i then ask, “so if most of you can cook a better hamburger, how come mcdonalds makes more money than you?” the answer is obvious: mcdonalds is excellent at business systems. the reason so many talented people are poor is because they focus on building a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems. the world is filled with talented poor people. they focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling the hamburger.30. why do talented people earn so little according to the writer? a. they dont work hard enough. b. they are short of financial intelligence.c. they dont make full use of their talents.d. they have no skills.31. the writer talked about the young worker in the first paragraph that _. a. he is just one of the talented people b. he is ready to help others c. he has a sharp sense of hearing d. he knows little about car repairing32. “live within their means” in the third paragraph means _.a. spend more than they can affordb. do in their own wayc. live in their own circled. live within what they earn33. what is the best title of the passage?a. work for moneyb. dont be the talented poorc. develop your talentsd. find a good job dfood sometimes gets poisoned with harmful things. a person who eats such food can get an illness called food poisoning. food poisoning is usually not serious, but some types are deadly. the symptoms (症状) of food poisoning usually begin within hours of eating the poisoned food. fever (发烧) is one of the most common symptoms.certain microorganisms(微生物) cause most types of food poisoning. bacteria (细菌) and other microorganisms can poison eggs, meat, vegetables, and many other foods. after entering the body, these tiny living things have poisons that make people sick.some chemicals (化学品) can also cause food poisoning. they are often added to food while it is being grown, or prepared. for example, many farmers need chemicals on crops to kill insects. some people may have a bad reaction to those chemicals when they eat the crops.some plants and animals have natural poisons that are harmful to people. these include certain kinds of seafood, nuts, seeds, beans, and mushrooms.when people deal with food properly, the risk of food poisoning is very small. microorganisms grow quickly in dirty places and in warm temperatures. this means that people should never touch food with dirty hands or put food on unwashed surfaces. food should be kept in a fridge to stop microorganisms from growing. meat needs to be cooked completely to kill any dangerous microorganisms. people should also wash food covered with chemicals before eating it. finally, people should not eat wild mushrooms or other foods that grow in the wild. some of these foods may have natural materials that are poisonous to humans. whats more, some types of fish can be poisonous.most people will be well from food poisoning after a few days of resting and drinking extra water. if people eat natural poisons, they must go to the hospital right away to have their stomachs emptied.34. which of the following statements is not the fact?a. food when poisoned can make people sick.b. food poisoning means death.c. food poisoning comes in many ways.d. food poisoning can be serious.35. food poisoning can be caused by all the following except _.a. some chemicalsb. low temperaturesc. some tiny living thingsd. certain natural materials36. from paragraph 5,we can learn that _.a. mushrooms should not be eatenb. vegetables are safer than meat and seafoodc. natural poisons are more dangerous than chemicalsd. different types of food should be dealt with differently37. it can be known from the passage that _.a. natural materials are safe in food preparingb. chemicals are needed in food preparingc. food poisoning can be kept under controld. food poisoning is out of control第ii卷 主观题（共40分）四、词汇运用（本大题共8小题，每小题1分，共8分）(a) 根据句意和汉语注释，在横线上写出单词的正确形式。38. to celebrate the new year, we sing and dance happily _ (贯穿) the new years day.39. my classmates were used to _ (打扫) the floor in the morning, but now theyve changed.40. after his eighteenth birthday, allen will go abroad for his _ (更进一步的) study.41. though he was poor, he _ (不愿) to accept what was provided with.
