husband had been out of work for many months and we had no money. in fact, we had to borrow money to reach our destination town. anyway, it was my husband, two boys aged four and two, and myself, seven months pregnant (怀孕), in an old volvo station wagon. we had been driving for two days in the middle of winter (that cars heater didnt work), and we had taken a route that was very desolate. there was nothing around for milesno cars, buildings or signs of civilization. suddenly, our car started losing power and the gauges(汽油表) went all out of order. we saw a light in the distance and managed to roll to a stop in front of this property that looked like a small simple house. our cell phones had not gotten reception for many miles, and it was freezing outside, so i didnt know if we were going to make it out of this situation alive. my husband got out of the car to see if there was something he could do to get us rolling again, but it was not looking good. a short while later, a man came out of the house and spoke with my husband a bit before inviting us all into his home. he and his wife took us in, fed us, and made us feel at home as we struggled to find some way to get to our destination, which was still a few hours drive away. we were able to call a friend and get a ride, leaving our broken car behind, but not before the couple gave us food and water for our journey. one week later, this dear sweet couple pulled our car all the way to our place and refused to take anything in return, except for us to pay it forwardand we have, and will continue to do it forever.28. we can learn from the text that the family_.a. had a hopeless future b. was in financial difficultyc. suffered from a company crash d. wanted to turn to their relatives for help29. the underlined word “ desolate” probably mean_.a. deserted b. advanced c. smooth d. muddy30. knowing that the wagon had broken down, the author_.a. called her friend several miles away for helpb. stopped the car in front of a simple service stationc. was afraid that they couldnt overcome the difficultyd. encouraged her husband and children to be confident31. we can learn from the text that the family_.a. got out of their financial difficultyb. met with more troubles after thatc. came back to thank the couple who had helped themd. followed the couples example in return for their helpdfrom bankers to factory staff, employees in the west face a cold prospect of losing their jobs as a global recession(衰退) starts to bite. for colleagues in the east, the pain is more likely to come through a pay cut. human resource experts say cultural differences explain why asian companies try harder to preserve jobs in difficult times, which will prevent unemployment and may help asian economies survive at a time of slowing exports. the east asian attitude may also make it easier for companies to recover quickly from the economic downturn since they will not need to rehire or train new staff, but build up a more loyal and devoted group. in the confucian mindset(儒家思想), the right thing to do is to share the burden（负担）, which is the sense of collective responsibility. while in the west, its more about individual survival, said michael benoliel, associate professor of organizational behavior at singapore management university (smu). in contrast, local western companies from general motors to goldman sachs plan to lay off workers by the thousands, but at the asian units of western multinationals or western units of asian groups, job cuts will probably be less severe. japans jobless rate was 4 percent in september, up from 3.8 percent in january, while hong kongs was flat at 3.4 percent. but us unemployment is expected to have jumped to 6.3 percent last month from below 5 percent in january. experts say that while there are noticeable differences in labor practices in east and west, the gap will narrow as more firms become more multinational and competition forces firms to adopt the best practices of rivals(对手) from abroad.32. the underlined word prospect in the first paragraph most probably means _.a. future b. scene c. weather d. place33. compared with job cuts, pay cuts can bring the following benefits except that _.a. its helpful to the economy recoveryb. it can form a team working harder and more loyallyc. it will keep the experienced and skilled workersd. it costs the company less money to survive34. according to michael benoliel, the confucian mindset focuses on _. a. human rights b. personal profits c. sharing responsibility d. individual survival35. the passage mainly tells us _.a. the difficulties all the companies around the world will meet with todayb. the different labor solutions of asian and western in global recessionc. the ways to cut down the cost of the companies in economic downturnd. the cultural differences between eastern and western world at present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。there are all sorts of good sensible reasons to avoid getting angry. not only does it make us feel bad, it also makes us do stupid things without noticing the risks and it can be self-destructive ( 毁坏性的). _ 36_ but like all emotions, anger has its purposes, which can be used for good effects. anger is a motivating force. in fact anger itself is a kind of positive energy and a powerful motivating force. _ 37 when we see something as beneficial, we want it more when we are angry. so, when used right, constructive anger can make us feel strong and powerful and help push us on to get what we want. 38 it may sound like a strange thing to say, but angry people have something in common with happy people. thats because both tend to expect favorable results. by comparison those experiencing more fear are more pessimistic (悲观的) about the future and expect further terrors. anger can benefit relationships. society tells us anger is dangerous and we should hide it .the problem is that when we hide our anger, our partner doesnt know hes done something wrong. and so he keeps doing it. 39 the expression of anger, if reasonable and aimed at finding a solution, can actually benefit and strengthen relationships. anger provides self-understanding. anger can also provide understanding into ourselves, if we allow it. getting angry leads to a positive outcome. anger help discover our own faults. if we can notice when we get angry and why, then we can learn what to do to improve our lives. _40 a. and that doesnt do our relationship any good.b. anger can turn us on and thus push on towards our goals in the face of problems and barriers.c. anger reduces violence.d. angry people are more optimistic.e. most of us treat our anger as though its unreasonable, unshowable and unmentionable.f. thats because its a very strong social signal that a situation needs to be solved.g. anger can encourage self-change.第三部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节：完型填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）i know that its hard to devote enough
