marais, a historic area in paris. when i took him my shoes, he at first told me, “i havent time. take them to the other fellow on the main street. hell fix them for you right away.”but i had my eyes on his shop for a long time. just looking at his bench loaded with tools and pieces of leather, i knew he was a skilled craftsman(手艺人). “no.” i replied, “the other fellow cant do it well.”“the other fellow” was one of those shopkeepers who fix shoes and make keys without knowing much about mending shoes or making keys. they work carelessly, and when they have finished sewing back a sandal strap(鞋带), you might as well just throw away the pair.my man saw i wouldnt give in, and he smiled. he wiped hands on his blue apron(围裙), looked at my shoes, had me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said, “come back in a week.”i was about to leave when he took a pair of soft leather boots off a shelf.“see what i can do?” he said with pride. “only three of us in paris can do this kind of work.”when i got back out into the street, the world seemed brand-new to me. he was something out of an ancient legend, this old craftsman with his way of speaking familiarly, his very strange dusty felt hat, his funny accent and his pride in his craft.these are times when nothing is important but the bottom line, when you can do things any old way as long as it “pays”, when, in short, people look on work as a path to ever-increasing consumption rather than a way to realize their abilities. in such a period it is a rare comfort to find a cobbler who gets his greatest satisfaction from pride in a job well done.41. which of the following is true about the old cobbler?a. he was equipped with the best repairing tools.b. he was the only cobbler in the marais.c. he was proud of his skills.d. he was a native parisian.42. the sentence “he was something out of an ancient legend” implies that _. a. nowadays you can hardly find anyone like him b. it was difficult to communicate with this man c. the man was very strange d. the man was too old43. according to the author, many people work just to _. a. realize their abilities b. gain happiness c. make money d. gain respect44. this story wants to tell us that _. a. craftsmen make a lot of money b. whatever you do, do it well c. craftsmen need self-respect d. people are born equal参考答案41-44cac 44、b*结束 if you think english means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. havent you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a language?according to a new study by a british university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. this is the area of the brain which processes information. it is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles.the study also found the earlier people learn a second language, the greater the effect is.a team led by dr. andrea mechelli, from university college london(ucl), took a group of britons who only spoke english. they were compared with a group of “early bilinguals(通两种语言的人)”, who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.scans showed that grey matter density in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. but the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference was.“our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists.it means that the change itself increases the ability to learn.professor dylan vaughan jones of the university of wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills.“having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible,” he said, “you are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”the findings were matched in a study of native italian speakers who had learned english as a second language between the ages of 2 and 34. reading, writing and comprehension were all tested. the results showed that the earlier they started to learn, the better. “studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.45. what does the underlined part “grey matter” (in paragraph 2) refer to?a. grey hair. b. material of the brain.c. intelligence. d. difficult situations.46. the experience of learning a second language can _.a. change ones brain completely b. improve ones maths skillsc. make one smarter than others d. increase the ability to learn47. we can learn from the passage that _.a. the researchers from ucl did another study in italyb. a similar study was done on native italian speakers who learn english as a second languagec. the research done on the italians showed a totally different resultd. it will be easier for one to travel around the world by learning a second language48. whats the main idea of the passage?a. learning a second language can help improve your brain power.b. you should learn a second language that is not your native language.c. if you want to learn a second language, you should do it at a certain age.d. the research done by the researchers from ucl is very successful.参考答案45-48 bdba*结束 many years ago, when i was fresh out of school and working in denver, i was driving to my parents home in missouri for christmas. i stopped at a gas station(加油站)about 50 miles from oklahoma city, where i was planning to stop and visit a friend. while i was standing in line at the cash register(收款台), i said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas. i took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. i stopped and wondered what i should do. a car pulled up behind me. it was the couple i had spoken to at the gas station. they said they would take me to my friends .we chatted on the way into the city, and when i got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card. i wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. soon afterward, i received a christmas present from them. their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful. years later, i drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. in late afternoon i returned to my car and found that id left the lights on all day, and the battery(电池)was dead. then i noticed that the friendly ford dealership - a shop selling cars - was right next door. i walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom. just how friendly is friendly ford? i asked and explained my trouble. they quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. they would accept no payment, so when i got home, i wrote them a note to say thanks. i received a letter back from one of the salesmen. no one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said.thank you - two powerful words. theyre easy to say and mean so much.60. the author planned to stop at oklahoma city_.a. to visit a friend b. to see his parentsc. to pay at the cash register d. to have more gas for his car61. the words “took off” underlined in paragraph 2 mean “_”.a. turned off b. moved off c. put up d. set up62. what happened when the author found smoke coming

the author tries to show_.a. how to write a thank-you letter b. how to deal with car problemsc. the kind-heartedness of older people d. the importance of expressing thanks2、(10分) 60.a 61.b 62.c 63.c 64.d60解析：这是一道细节推断题。根据“at a gas station about 50 miles from oklahoma city, where i was planning to stop and visit a friend” where 是修饰oklahoma city的，可知去oklahoma city是为了拜访一个朋友。61解析：这是一道猜义题。根据上一句“pay for gas”和 后面的“gone only a few miles”可知took off是离开的意思,选项b move off也是离开的意思。turn off：关掉；put up:拿起；set up 设立。62解析：这是一道细节推断题。从第二段“they said they would take me to my friends”和“when i got out of the car”可知老夫妇把作者送到了朋友家。*结束afive years ago, david smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “i was a clothes addict,” he jokes. “i used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so i could change if my clothes got wrinkled.” today david wears casual clothes, pants and sports shirt to the office. he hardly ever wears a necktie. “im working harder than ever,” david says, “and i need to feel comfortable.” 来more and more companies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work in the united states. the change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. in the early 1990s, many companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on friday (but only on friday). this became known as “dress-down friday” of “casual friday”. “what started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really become an everyday thing.” said business consultant maisly jones.why have so many companies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? one reason is that its easier for a company to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code. “a lot of young people dont want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software company, “so its hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code.” another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes. in a study conducted by levi strauss and company, 85 percent of employers said that
