The rain caused the streets to _36_ and the subway system almost came to a stop.Unfortunately, this happened during the morning rush hour. Many people who were going to work were_37_ to go home.

I went from subway line to subway line only to find that most _41_ had stopped. After making my way _42_ crowds of people, I finally found a subway line that was _43_ . Unfortunately, there were so many people waiting to _44_ the subway that I could not even get down the stairs to the _45_. So I took the train going in the opposite direction, and then switched back to the downtown train. Finally, after what seemed like forever, the train _46_ my stop. Then I had to walk several blocks in the increasingly heavy rain. When I finally got to my office, I was _47_ through, exhausted and _48_.My co-workers and I spent most of the day drying off. When it was 5:00 pm, I was ready to go home. I was about to turn off my computer _49_ I received an email from Garth, my Director:I would like to thank all of you who made the effort and _50_ reported to work. It is always reassuring (令人欣慰), at times like these, when employees so clearly show their _51_ to their jobs. Thank you.Garths email was short, but I learned more from that _52_ message than I ever did from a textbook. The email taught me that a few words of _53_ can make a big difference.

ATo give a piece of advice for job interviewees BTo tell you how to deal with job interviews CTo advise you how to find a good job DTo describe an aptitude test57Now employers want to hire workers _ Awho know much more than others Bwho will work harder than others Cwho are able to solve the problems Dwho are better educated than others58According to the writer, in an aptitude test, Chinese job applicants should _ Anot tell the truth Boffer a complete answer Clearn to tell what they really think Dfind out what the examiner wants to know59From the passage we know that _Ajob applicants are always asked such questions Bapplicants should not act as cleverly as possible Cmore Chinese applicants fail to find a jobDaptitude test is becoming world-wide popular BIf women are mercilessly exploited（剥削）year after year, they have only themselves to blame. Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe (衣柜) packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and so on.No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability (耐用). They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasnt at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes.When comparing men and men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashions of womens clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stability and reliability? That is for you to decide.60Designers and big stores always make money _.Aby mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industryBbecause they are capable of predicting new fashionsCby constantly changing the fashions in womens clothingDbecause they attach great importance to quality in womens clothing61To the writer, the fact that women change their old-fashioned dresses is seen as _.A a quality of instability Ba waste of timeC an expression of taste Dan expression of creativity62The writer would be less critical if fashion designers placed more stress on the _of clothing.Acost Bappearance Ccomfort Dsuitability63According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?ANew fashions in clothing are created for the commercial exploitation of women.BThe constant changes in womens clothing reflect their strength of character.CThe fashion industry makes an important contribution to society.DFashion designs should not be encouraged since they are only welcomed by women.64By saying the conclusions to be drawn are obvious (Para. 4, Line 1-2), the writer means that _.Awomens inconstancy in their choice of clothing is often laughed atBwomen are better able to put up with discomfortCmen are also exploited greatly by fashion designersDmen are more reasonable in the matter of fashionCThe curtain on the 2008 US presidential election finally rose last month as John McCain and Barack Obama were formally nominated (提名) as candidates of the two major parties. This may be one of the hardest decisions voters have to make between two appealing candidates. The big question for voters, as they face both an economic downturn and international threats, is: who will they elect? A young first-term senator promising change and new ideas, or a longtime senator with strong military experience and a reputation as a maverick (特立独行的人)?American voters have never seen a candidate quite like Obama. He has a white mother from the US and a black father from Kenya who left the family when Obama was very young. He spent part of his youth in Indonesia.His supporters say Obamas childhood gives him the advantage to repair the recent damage done to Americas image abroad. His opponents focus on his inexperience, noting he hasnt finished his first term in the Senate. However, McCain has a very different life story.He grew up in a Navy family and was a pilot during the Vietnam War in the 1960s. When Obama was in kindergarten in Indonesia, McCains plane was shot down over Vietnam and he became a prisoner of war. McCain could have been released if he disowned America but he refused and so was held for five years. So in the end, the election may hinge on (以为转移) several factors that are hard to judge: Will Obamas race matter to a significant number of voters? Will working-class whites who tended to support his primary opponent, Hillary Clinton, vote for Obama? And perhaps most important of all, will swing (摇摆) voters be more drawn to Obamas vision (远景规划) or to McCains experience? Whatever happens, one thing is clear: Whoever walks into the White House on January 20, 2009, will find enormous challenges waiting for him in the Oval Office, both at home and abroad.65. _ makes the result of the election hard to predict.A. Whether working class whites care about Obamas inexperienceB. The economic trouble the country now facesC. Who swing voters will finally decide to vote forD. McCain being too old to govern the country66. The appeal in Obama as a presidential candidate lies in _. A. his multi-cultural background B. his belief in tradition C. his inexperience in politics D. his fantastic promises67. The word “disown” in Paragraph 6 means closest to _. A. flee from B. turn his back onC. not keep it privateD. expose secrets about68. The challenges that will face the new president _. A. are not mentioned in the text B. include building a strong party and a friendly image C. refer to the problems of immigrants and economy D. refer to the problems of economy and international relationsDLONDONThe tiny, distant and frozen planet Pluto, for 30 years believed to have just one moon, has suddenly been found to have two more satellites. Only discovered in 1930 because of its vast distance from Earth, Pluto has remained a largely mysterious object ever since. Some three billion miles from the Sun, Pluto, a dwarf planet, remains to be visited by a spacecraft. Its first known satellite is called Charon. With a diameter of 1,200 km, it is half that of Plutounusually large for a moon in relation to its primary. But now, using images from the Hubble Space Telescope, scientists from Johns Hopkins University, Southwest Research Institute and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology say they have found two more tiny orbiting satellites, P1 and P2. Both are traveling outside the orbit of Charon and are tiny by comparison, the scientists wrote in the journal Nature. P1, the more distant of the two from Pluto, has a diameter of between 60 and 165 km while P2 is 20 percent smaller. Although definitive orbits cannot be obtained, both
