阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(a. b. c和d)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑awhat makes a gift special? is it the price you see on the gift receipt? or is it the look on the recipients face when they receive it that determines the true value? what gift is worth the most?this christmas i was debating what to give my father. my dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything. i pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for christmas shopping for him when i came across a message on my phone that i had locked. the message was from my father. my eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in wyoming, and underneath a poem by william blake. the flower, a lone dandelion (蒲公英) standing against the bright blue sky, inspired me. my dad had been reciting those words to me since i was a kid. that may even be the reason why i love writing. i decided that those words would be my gift to my father.i called back. i told my mom to go without me and that i already created my gift. i sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. as i was arranging the details another poem came to mind. the poem was written by edgar allan poe; my dad recited it as much as he did the other. i typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. the poem was focused around dreaming, and after searching i found the perfect picture. the image was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. as i watched both poems passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood. i felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate.christmas soon arrived. the minute i saw the look on my dads face as he unwrapped those swirling black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame, i knew i had given the perfect gift.36. the idea for a special gift began to form when the author was _.a. doing shoppingb. having a debatec. reading a messaged. leaving for wyoming37. the underlined word “it” in paragraph 3 refers to a poem by _.a. the father b. the authorc. william blaked. edgar allan poe38. the author made the gift by _.a. searching for the poems onlineb. drawing the background by handc. painting the letters in three colorsd. matching the words with pictures39. what is the main purpose of the passage?a. to show how to design images for gifts.b. to suggest making gifts from ones heart. c. to explain how computers help create gifts.d. to describe the gifts the author has received. bnew technology links the world as never before. our planet has shrunk. its now a “global village” where countries are only seconds away by fax or phone or satellite link. and, of course, our ability to benefit from this high-tech communications equipment is greatly increased by foreign language skills.deeply involved with this new technology is a kind of modern businesspeople who have a growing respect for the economic value of doing business abroad. in modern markets, success overseas often helps support domestic business efforts. overseas assignments are becoming increasingly important to advancement within executive ranks. the executive stationed in another country no longer need fear being “out of sight and out of mind.” he or she can be sure that the overseas effort is central to the companys plan for success, and that promotions often follow or accompany an assignment abroad. if an employee can succeed in a difficult assignment overseas, superiors will have greater confidence in his or her ability to manage back in the united states where cross-cultural considerations and foreign language issues are becoming more and more common. thanks to a variety of relatively inexpensive communications devices with business applications, even small businesses in the united states are able to get into international markets. english is still the international language of business. but there is an ever-growing need for people who can speak another language. a second language isnt generally required to get a job in business, but having language skills gives a candidate the edge when other qualifications appear to be equal.the employee posted abroad who speaks the countrys language has an opportunity to fast-forward certain negotiations, and can have the cultural insight to know when it is better to move more slowly. the employee at the home office who can communicate well with foreign customers over the telephone or by fax machine is an obvious asset to the firm. 40.with the increased use of high-tech communications equipment, businesspeople _.a. are eager to work overseas b. have to get familiar with modern technology c. are gaining more economic benefits from domestic operations d. are attaching more importance to their overseas business 41. in this passage, “out of sight and out of mind” (line 3, para. 3) probably means _. a. leaving all care and worry behind b. being unable to think properly for lack of insight c. being totally out of touch with business at home d. missing opportunities for promotion when abroad42.according to the passage, what is an important consideration of international corporations in employing people today? a. ability to speak the customers language.b. connections with businesses overseas.c. technical know-how.d. business experience. 43. the advantage of employees having foreign language skills is that they can _. a. fast-forward their proposals to headquarters b. better control the whole negotiation process c. easily make friends with businesspeople abroadd. easily find new approaches to meet market needs cwhile small may be beautiful, tall is just plain uncomfortable it seems, particularly when it comes to staying in hotels and eating in restaurants.the tall persons club great britain (tpcgb), which was formed six months ago to campaign for the needs of the tall, has turned its attention to hotels and restaurants. beds that are too small，shower heads that are too low, and restaurant tables with hardly any legroom all make life difficult for those of above average height, it says.but it is not just the extratall whose needs are not being met. the average height of the population has been increasing yet the standard size of beds, doorways, and chairs has remained unchanged. “the bedding industry says a bed should be six inches larger than the person using it, so even a kingsize bed at 66 (6 feet and 6 inches) is falling short for 25% of men, while the standard 63 bed caters for less than half of the male population，” said tpcgb president phil heinricy，“sevenfoot beds would work fine.”similarly, restaurant tables can cause no end of problems. small tables, which mean the longlegged have to sit a foot or so away from them, are enough to make tall customers go elsewhere.some have already taken note, however. at queens moat houses caledonian hotel in edinburgh, 66 beds are now put in as standard after requests for longer beds from taller visitors，particularly americans.44what is the purpose of the tpcgb campaign?ato provide better services.bto rebuild hotels and restaurants.cto draw public attention to the needs of the tall.dto attract more people to become its members.45which of the following might be a bed of proper length according to phil heinricy?a72b7c66 d6346what may happen to restaurants with small tables?athey may lose some customers.bthey may start businesses elsewhere.cthey have to find easy chairs to match the tables.dthey have to provide enough space for the longlegged.47what change has already been made in a hotel in edinburgh?a. tall people pay more for larger beds.b66 beds have taken the place of 63 beds.cspecial rooms are kept for americans.dguest rooms are standardized.di was parked in front of the mall wiping off my cari had just come from the car wash and was waiting for my wife to get out of workcoming my way from across the parking lot was

uniqueness of finger-prints and discovered that no exactly similar pattern is passed on from parents to children, though nobody knows why this is the case. the ridge （隆起） structure on a persons fingers does not change with growth and is not affected by surface injuries. burns, cuts and other damage to the outer part of the skin will be replaced in time by a new one, which bears a reproduction of the original pattern. 52 some criminals make use of this fact to remove their own finger-prints but this is a dangerous and rare step to take. finger-prints can be made very easily with printers ink. they can be recorded easily. 53 because of the simplicity and economy of this system, finger-prints have often been used as a method of solving criminal case. a suspected man may deny a charge but this may be in vain. 54 . when a suspect leaves finger-prints behind at the scene of a crime, they are difficult to detect with the naked eye. 55 some of the marks found are incomplete but identification is possible if a print of a quarter of an inch square can be obtained.a. special techniques are used to “develop” them.b. a fingerprint is an impression of the friction ridges of all parts of the finger.c. it is only when the inner skin is injured that the arrangement will be destroyed.d. with special methods, identification can be achieved successfully within a short time.e. a latent print
