They dont push religion . So whats the point?To see what happens, said Liz. We simply enjoy life with open communication.Shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks, they decided to walk from New York City to Washington, a 270-mile trip.

She had stopped by for the second time in two days, to let the two listeners know how it went.Marcia had lost her husband to a serious disease. That was very heavy on my mind,” Marcia said.

Jane went off with her husband, expecting a merry evening of wine, food, and song.By 9:45, everybody was having great fun, but no food had appeared. Jane and David were restless. Other guests began whispering that they, too, were starving. But no one wanted to leave, just in case some food was about to appear. By 11:00, there was still no food, and everyone was completely off their heads. Jane and David left hungry and angry.Their experience suggests that the words on the printed invitations need to be made clearer. Everyone reads and understands the invitations differently. Most of us would agree that6:308:30pm means drinks only, go out to dinner afterwards; 8:00pm or 8:30pm means possible dinner, but 9:30pm and any time thereafter means no food, eat beforehand, arrive late.But this is not always the case. If asked to a students party at 6:30pm, it is normal for guests not to appear before midnight, if at all, and no one cares. Being the first to arrive - looking eager -is social death. When my mother is asked to a party for 6:30, she likes to be there, if not on time, then no later than seven. My age group (late thirties) falls somewhere between the two, but because we still think were young, were probably closer to student-time than grown-up time.The accepted custom at present is confusing, sometimes annoying, and it often means you may go home hungry, but it does lend every party that precious element of surprise.29. Jane and David s story is used to show that .A. party-goers usually get hungry at partiesB. party invitations can be confusingC. people should ask for food at partiesD. birthday parties for middle-aged people are dull30. According to the writer, people in their late thirties .A. are likely to arrive late for a partyB. care little about the party timeC. haven t really grown up yetD. like surprises at parties31. What is the general idea of the text?A. It s safe to arrive late just when food is served.B. It s wise to eat something before going to a party. C. It s important to follow social rules of party-going. D. It s necessary to read invitations carefully.DMillions of aircraft take off around the world every year. The skies they fly in seem limitlessmiles of empty space. But, with the number of flights increasing each year, thisemptiness no longer exists. Researchers in the world of aviation（航空）are worried about theincreasing pressure on pilots and ground controllers. And increasing collisions, occurring at or near an airport, have called attention to the need for more aids（辅助设备）to aviation control.People who travel the skies are not certain about air safety. A great deal of money is spent on new and bigger aircraft and airports to deal with the vast increase in passengers travelling by air.Only a small percentage of this money is spent on navigation（导航）and other aids. Actually,suitable electronic equipment has long existed, and many companies market safety aids designed to make it safer for aircraft to take off, fly any distance, and land, whatever the weather. Yet, there are two problems to be solved. The first is to get governments, airlines and airport officials to agree to basic levels of safety aids. The second problem is to find a way of meeting these basic requirements.But no matter how well the equipment works, operators of the equipment still play an important role. Communications between pilots and ground controllers are extremely important to air safety. It is worth pointing out that the mishearing or misunderstanding of instructions in English, and the use of another language, in an international conversation, have led to two recent aircraft accidents. A new type of instrument called FLIGHTWATCH would help pilots prevent airport collisions. It would be particularly helpful near airports.32. The increasing number of flights leads to the fact that .A. flying is no longer limited in the skyB. there is no empty space for aids to aviation controlC. piloting and controlling planes is getting more difficultD. the pressure on the ground becomes greater33. There is uncertainty about air safety because .A. planes become bigger for the increasing number of passengersB. money spent on electronic equipment is far from enoughC. suitable electronic equipment hasnt been invented yetD. it is dangerous for planes to take off or land34. The underlined word “ collisions ” probably means .A. accidents in which two planes hit each otherB. misunderstandings between pilots and ground controllersC. quarrels among passengersD. breakdowns of new types of instrumen t35. It can be inferred from the passage that_ _.A. governments and officials have paid great attention to air safetyB. there should be more companies to sell new safety aidsC. English should be used in an international conversationD. understanding between pilots and ground controllers should be improved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人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Are you truly happy?

On 44 days, she wore heavy clothes and a pair of woolen gloves. Summertime 45 out neat, belted cotton dresses and a hat pulled low over her sunglasses.46 , she was an ordinary working woman. Of course, I 47 all this only after she was seen no more. It was then that I realized how 48 I expected to see her each morning. You might say I 49 her.“Did she have an accident? Something 50 ?” I thought to myself about her 51 . Now that she was gone, I felt I had 52 her. I began to realize that part of our 53 life probably includes such chance meetings with familiar 54 : the milkman you see at dawn, the woman who 55 walks her dog along the stree t every morning, the twin brothers you see at the library. Such people are 56 markers in our eyes. They add weight to our 57 of place and belonging.Think about it. 58 , while walking to work, we mark where we are by 59 a certain building, why should we not mark where we are when
