All day Andrew felt nervous as he thought about the upcoming showdown（摊牌）. What if Mr. Larchmont refused his request? Andrew had worked so hard in the last 18 months and succeeded in winning a contract which was difficult to get for Braer and Hopkins Advertising Agency. Of course , he should get a salary raise.The thought of walking into Mr. Larchmonts office left Andrew weak in the knees. Late in the afternoon he was finally brave enough to approach his superior. To his delight and surprise , the ever-frugal（一贯节省的）Harvery Larchmont agreed to give Andrew a raise!Andrew arrived home that evening-despite breaking all city and state speed limits-to a beautiful table set with their best china, and candles lit. His wife, Tina, had prepared a delicate meal including his favorite dishes. Immediately he figured someone from the office had told her the news.Next to his plate Andrew found a beautiful lettered note. It was from his wife. It read: “Congratulations, my love! I knew youd get the raise! I prepared this dinner to show just how much I love you. I am so proud of your accomplishments!” He read it and stopped to reflect on how sensitive and caring Tina was.After dinner, Andrew was on his way to the kitchen to get dessert when he noticed that a second card had slipped out of Tinas pocket onto the floor. He bent forward to pick up. It read: “Dont worry about not getting the raise! You do deserve one! You are a wonderful provider and I prepared this dinner to show you how much I love you though you did not get the increase.”Suddenly tears welled in Andrews eyes. Total acceptance! Tinas support for him was not conditional upon his success at work.The fear of rejection is often softened and we can face almost any difficulty when we know someone loves us regardless of our success or failure.36What was Andrews plan that Friday?ATo request a wage increase from his boss BTo get a promotionCTo celebrate his success DTo ask his boss to come for dinner.37On his way home, Andrew was .Anervous Brelaxed Cexcited Dpunished38Which of the following statements about the passage is FALSE?AAndrew was afraid that his request would be refused.BAndrew had worked hard and done his part for the company.CAndrews boss agreed to his request.DOne of Andrews colleagues had told his wife the good news.39We can conclude from the passage that .Aunconditional love brings courage and strengthBwork hard and you will be rewarded.Cmany fears turn out to be unfoundedDwe should never be afraid to claim what is due toBWomen are overtaking men in education and in the workplace, a senior Government minister said yesterday creating a new generation of stay-at-home fathers.Universities minister David Willetts predicted relationships and traditional household structures will be transformed as the females power ahead, and women earn more than their male partners.Successful women will have to marry down by choosing partners less qualified than them and may increasingly select men based on how supportive they might be to their careers, rather than whether they can support them financially.And experts say women will often become the main breadwinners, with more men staying at home to look after children.Mr. Willetts said there was clear evidence from schools that boys are lagging behind, and are being overtaken by female students at universityHe said: “I am not against women having those advantages but there is now a rather striking gap, if you look at the statistics, where it looks as if approximately 50 percent of women are graduating from university by the time theyre 30 and perhaps about 40 percent of men.” He added: “It may lead to changes in the patterns of household livingSo there are some deep questions here.”The Philadelphia-based Pew Research Centre study, published in The Atlantic magazine, suggests female graduates are being put in similar situation to that faced for some time by black womenIn America, 70 percent of black women have no husband and there are twice as many black women as black men with university degrees.Many educated British women believe there is already a dearth of traditional husbandsClaire Davis, 33, who works in financial services and lives in south London, told The Times: “I have a good job, my own flat and I can pretty much do what I want, but a lot of the men I meet arent really of the right standard. If I look at the friends I went to university with, the men dont tend to be doing as well as the women.”40David Willettss attitude toward womens overtaking men in education and in the workplace could be described as .Aexcited Bpositive Csupportive Dworried41Claire Daviss example is used to indicate that .Aa lot of women prefer to be single Bblack women do not want to be marriedCexcellent women have difficulty in looking for a good husbandDwomen are less excellent than men in general42The underlined word “dearth” in the last paragraph most probably means .Apride Brespect Boversupply Dshortage43The best title of this passage would probably be .Asuccessful women forced to “marry down”BA poor generation of stay-at-home fathersCThe marriages influence on economyDThe advantages of the traditional family patternCGenerally speaking, there are three different learning types: Visual, Auditory, and Kinesthetic. You can be a combination of learning types, but most people have one type that dominates.1Visual learners learn best by seeing. If you seem to easily retain information from pictures, graphs, and videos, you are likely a visual learner.2Auditory learners learn best by hearing. If you seem to remember things by hearing them, whether listening to a lecture or repeating information out loud, then you are likely an auditory learner.3Kinesthetic learners learn best by doing. If you seem to learn best by working with your hands or testing out what you are shown, you are likely a kinesthetic learner.So now that you know your personal learning style, the trick is to find out how to use your new-found knowledge to help you in your classes.Tips for Visual Learners1Pay attention! For visual learners, this is very important. If your professor uses a PowerPoint, observe the pictures they might include and their significance.2Take notes by drawing graphs and connecting ideas instead of just copying down a list. This way, your brain will easily connect the different concepts. 3Color code your notes. This will aid your brain in keeping all of the information separate. Tips for Auditory Learners1Again, pay attention! If you arent listening while the lecture is happening, then as an auditory learner, youre missing out on the easiest way for you to learn.2If you think it would help and you obtain permission from the professor, you can record the lecture for future listening.3If you find that taking notes distracts you from listening, ask a friend if you can borrow their notes or directly after the lecture, write down everything you remember.Tips for Kinesthetic Learners1Guess what the first point is once again? Youve got it, pay attention! For kinesthetic learners, its extremely important that you take notes either by writing or typing, in order to actively engage with information as you receive it.2Rewrite notes and reread information. If possible, translate the information into examples. 3Take advantage of labs and other class activities. These moments are when youre at your prime for learning. Concentrate on what youre learning from the experience and pay close attention to the process that you go through.44According to the passage, the Auditory learners .Aseem to easily retain information from pictures, graphs, and videos.Bseem to learn best by working with their hands or testing out what they are shown,Cseem to remember things by hearing them.Dseem to learn best by doing.45Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?AIt is important for Visual Learners to focus their attention.BAuditory Learners can record the lecture for future listening without the permission of the professor,.CIn order to actively engage with information, Kinesthetic Learners can take notes either by writing or typingDIt is also necessary for Visual Learners to concentrate on his studies.46Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?AFind Your Own Learning Type.BWhat Is A Learning Type?

Military personnel are helping to transport water from Zhejiang to Guizhou and Yunnan, according to China Central Television. In Sichuan, locals are turning to drought resistant crops. Other parts of China are helping by giving water and donating other resources.48Which of the following is not the cause of the drought mentioned in the passage?Aless rainfall Binsufficient water reserves Cdigging deep wells Denvironmental damage49The damages the drought brought about are the following EXCEPT .Acausing many to die or thirst Bmaking it hard for millions to get drinking waterCmaking it difficult for school children with parents facing money problemsDdestroying the harvest50The best title of the passage is .AUrgency of saving water BFighting the droughtCCauses of the drought DImpact of the drought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。The sea has always interested man.
