There I found another surprise waiting for me. My room at the hotel had been given to somebody else and they had no room for me. Harkin had known my travel plans and had planned everything. How could he have booked the room only for three days? There was nothing to be done but to find another hotel. The waiters were happy to find me a new hotel, and when I said that I was happy to stay at the airport, thinking it might be cheaper than staying in the city, they suggested the Holiday Inn at the airport. There was one small matter the room rate was $300 per night. The best hotel in Katoomba had wanted only $145. I asked if there was anything cheaper they might suggest but they warned that most hotels would already be full by this time.The hotel was far from the train station, so I had to take a taxi, at $25. On the way to the Holiday Inn, We passed a hotel just two blocks from the Holiday Inn that advertised a room rate of $104. At the desk I asked if their room rate could go down a lot. “No, this is a 4star hotel，” the waiter told me. “In that case，” I replied, “Ill just walk the two blocks to the cheap hotel.” But she warned me that they were probably full and that if I didnt take the room, it might not be available when I came back. Finally, I decided to take the room.The room itself was big, but the air conditioning couldnt keep up with the Australian heat. I couldnt get to sleep until about 1：00 am.56Why did the writer have to look for another hotel?A. He didnt book early.B. Harkin made a mistake.C. He was short of money.D.

An introduction to hotels.BCan Apes Really Learn to “Talk”Who are Sarah, Washoe, Koko, and Sherman? They are chimpanzees or gorillas who some scientists claim have learned how to “talk” to humans. In the past several years people have been astonished by reports that they communicate with humans. For example, Koko, a female gorilla, is said to understand and use hundreds of words. Koko, says her trainer, Francine Patterson, can carry on conversations in sign language about her feelings and plans.Researcher Talks BackRecently a Columbia University scientist caused an argument by challenging the conclusion that apes can in fact use language. The scientist, Dr. Herbert Terrace, thinks that the animals do not use language the way humans do. Dr. Terrace has caused such strong feelings among scientists studying ape language. Here lets listen to an imaginary conversation between Washoe, the first chimp to learn sign language, and Koko, the gorilla.Apes Are TalkingKoko: Did you hear what Dr. Terrace said about us? He claims we cannot create our own sentences. Instead, he says, we react to clues accidentally given by our trainer. He says we are like the famous horse Clever Hans. Hans was supposed to be able to solve arithmetic problems and then stamp out the answers with his hoof (蹄子)If the horse was asked what two plus two was, he would stamp four times. Although the trainer did not realize it, says Dr. Terrace, the horse was picking up clues from the trainer as to when to stop stamping.Washoe: I disagree with Dr. Terrace. My trainer, Dr. R. Allen Gardner and his wife, Beatrice, have seen me talking in sign language to other chimps.Koko: I heard that Dr. Terrace became unimpressed with ape language after studying a chimp named Nim. Dr. Terrace found that Nim usually made signs only after being prompted (提示) by his trainer. Yet when children learn a language, they start using many words on their own. Nim usually did not do this. Even when Nim did use additional signs, he did not add any new information. The signs (words) were repeated over and over again.Washoe: My trainer says that Nim wasnt given much of a chance to act on his own. He had so many different trainers, he became confused. That is not the best way to get chimps to communicate.Koko: Ill never understand humans. But the big question is: Can we really use language?Koko and Washoe (together): Well never tell.60How do scientists who study ape language respond to Dr. Herbert Terrace idea according to the 2nd part?A. Enthusiastic. B. Confused.C. Angry. D. Sympathetic.61Dr. Herbert Terrace suspects that _.A. Nim added new information while using additional signsB. Clever Hans picked up clues accidentally given by its trainerC. Washoe didnt pick up any clues from its trainer when talkingD. when a child learns a language, he starts using many words on his own62Which of the following is a fact according to the passage?A. Nim had more than one trainer.B. Apes cant create their own language.C. The apes are supposed to form sentences.D. Clever Hans is supposed to solve math problems.CEmployment practices often reflect the needs of employers several decades ago. Times have changed. And so too has the Canadian workforce. Yet many employment practices have not kept pace with this change. For example, some work environments and washrooms designed for ablebodied workers seldom accommodate people who use a wheelchair.Modernizing these practices is what employment equality is about. For example, making sure work benches and washrooms are adapted for disabled people entering the workplace, paving the way for workers who become disabled on the job. By doing so, any given group of people formerly discriminated against now has access to better employment opportunities. The objective, of course, is to make the workplace reflect Canadian society. However, this does not necessarily mean setting and enforcing quotas (配额). Rather, it means identifying the barriers to employment and designing measures, with achievable goals and clear timetables, to remove them.For example, according to the Canadian Union of Public Employees Canadas largest union, it would be unrealistic in the short term to insist that because half of the working age population is women, half of the employees of an engineering firm should be women. At this moment, there would not be enough qualified female engineers.A reasonable numerical goal would be based on the number of women who actually are engineers (8%) and those who are studying to become engineers (25%). A short term goal of 13% would be appropriate without running the risk of hiring unqualified people.Equally important is to ensure people who have been disadvantaged the chance to become qualified for new opportunities. If aboriginal people (土著居民), for example, cant qualify for certain jobs because they havent had access to appropriate educational opportunities, then an employment equality program would have to address that problem with training programs.Employment laws in this country cannot be considered displeasing if they guarantee all Canadians fair and equal access to the workforce.63The passage is mainly about how to _.A. modernize equipment for the disabled at workB. achieve equality of employment opportunitiesC. protect womens rights in employmentD. complete a job training program64The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refers to _.A. barriers B. measures C. goals D. timetables65The example of women shows that _.A. only a small percentage of women engineers will get promotedB. 13% of the working age women should be hired as engineersC. policy makers should adopt a practical and flexible approachD. the quota of women for employment should be raised66The underlined word “address” in Paragraph 6 probably means _. A. put forward B. run intoC. find out D. deal withDThe United States government has started a website to help children think critically about the advertising that is aimed at them. The new site is called Admongo. It claims to provide visitors with an “education” through games and other entertainment.A cartoon man dressed in old time pilot clothing greets visitors to Admongo. “Call me Haiz” he says upon arrival in a rocket ship that opens up with a crazy world inside it. Dabce plays in the background as Haiz tells visitors that they need to learn about advertising.The Admongo website is aimed at children eight to twelve years old. Its inventors say that is the age kids develop their critical thinking abilities. Kids that age are also a big market for advertisers.The idea behind Admongo is to teach children three things: to identify the advertiser, to know what the advertiser is really saying, and to know what the advertisement is trying to get the child to do.Children learn these things through a video game. They create their own game character. They can choose different skin colors, hairstyles, eye and mouth shapes. Then they begin a trip through adland. They take a walk through the neighborhood. They seek out the advertising and capture treasures. There are ads on buses and billboards. The players have to find all the marketing in the neighborhood before they can move on to the next level.The Admongo game takes players inside a home, to the advertising studio and everywhere else ads can be found. It is a complete exploration of the world of marketing.One such area is food marketing. The Federal Trade Commission says it is an especially big business. The F. T. C. estimates that food, drink and fastfood restaurants spent more than one and a half billion dollars on advertising to young people in 2009.The F. T. C. says children are important for three reasons. They buy products. They influence parents and caregivers to buy. And they are the future adult buyers of the products.A recent study says most advertising aimed at children is for foods of the lowest nutritional value. First Lady Michelle Obama has said she would like to see advertisers marketing healthy foods for children.67The purpose of launching the website is _.A. to try to influence the biggest market of buyersB. to advertise the online video game for childrenC. to help children know well about advertisingD. to advertise the products of its company68What can players do in the website game?A. They can choose hairstyles for their own character.B. They can play video games in the trip.C. They can eat in a fastfood restaurant.D. They can travel to a supermarket.69Children are important for advertising because they_.A. are easily influenced by adsB. are the most potential buyersC. are the most important for societyD. are easily affected by lowquality products70Which is the best title of the passage?A. An Advertising Website Aimed at ChildrenB. An “Adeducation” Website for ChildrenC. A Popular Online Video GameD. The Admongos Guide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。What makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius，like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool？Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live？_71_We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways，the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle._72_Mental exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about._73_If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent._74_According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive things to their children，such as
