并在答题卡上将该项涂黑 A A The other day I heard a few local musicians talking I hate all the terrible pianos in this town I hate that rubbish They play on the radio They can t even understand a bit of music I m never playing in that club again Too many drunks and nobody listens to us But one younger musician said There are a few clubs that book my band a few nights a month and I m trying to find other places to play I m also looking to book a few summer festivals this year I ve heard that you are the average of the five people whom you spend the most time with or to put it another way you are who your friends are Attitudes are important Whether they re positive or negative they re rubbing off on you If you re around people who complain about lack of work and about other musicians or blame 责怪 others and you play the role of victim 受害者 chances are you will start to as well So it s time to take a look at the people you call friends This is an easy exercise make a list of the people who you hang out with and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list set a new standard 标准 for yourself and don t become friends with people who fall below that standard Keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better Ask them how they do it Ask if they will help you get the work you re looking for or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path 41 Which of the following would be the best title for this passage A a friend in need is a friend indeed B how to make friendship last for ever C you are who your friends are D friends are the most important in one s success 42 The underlined sentence they re rubbing off on you in paragraph 6 means A they ll push you ahead B they ll influence you C they ll cover your shortcomings D they ll help you achieve your goal 43 The musicians words at the beginning are written mainly to show A the musicians living conditions are quite poor B people have poor taste in music C people have different attitudes towards the same thing D young people have greater chances of succeeding B To master a language one must be able to speak it understand it when it is spoken as well as to read and write it These days more and more foreigners are coming to China and more and more Chinese are going abroad to work or study so that the spoken language is becoming more and more important Speaking of course can t go without listening If you want to pronounce a word correctly you must be able to hear correctly The sounds of the Chinese and English languages are not exactly the same If you don t listen carefully you will find it difficult or even impossible to understand the native speakers Well what about writing Like speaking it s used to exchange ideas People generally use longer sentences in their writing The important thing is to make your ideas clear in your head and write them down in clear language Chinese students read far too slowly If you read faster you understand better If you read slowly by the time you have reached the end of a page you have forgotten what the beginning is about When you meet with new words don t look them up in the dictionary at once Guess the meaning from the context You may not guess quite correctly the first time but as the new words come up again and again in different contexts their meanings will become clearer and clearer If you try to look up every word you ll never finish a book Students of a foreign language need a particular knowledge the knowledge of the life history and geography of the people whose language they re studying They should study these subjects in the foreign language not only in translation In this way one can kill two birds with one stone he can learn the language and some knowledge of the foreign country at the same time 44 In his first point the writer told us A why spoken English is important B how to read and write C how to speak English D why English people couldn t understand Lenin 45 In his last point the writer advised us A to kill two birds with one stone B to get some knowledge of the foreign country whose language you are studying C to study all the subjects in a foreign language D to learn two languages at a time 46 In the fourth paragraph the writer gave advice on A how to grasp the general meaning of a passage B how to guess the meaning from the context C how to look up new words in the dictionary D how to read faster 47 to kill two birds with on stone means A to get some particular knowledge B to get more than what one pays C the stone is too big D the birds are blind enough C Backpacks are convenient They can hold your books your lunch and a change of clothes leaving your hands free to do other things Someday if you don t mind carrying a heavy load your backpacks might also power your MP3 player keep your cell phone running and maybe even light your way home Lawrence C Rome and his colleagues from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia2 and the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole3 Mass 4 have invented a backpack that makes electricity from energy produced while its wearer walks In military actions search and rescue operations and scientific field studies people rely increasingly on cell phones global positioning system GPS 5 receivers night vision goggles and other battery powered devices to get around and do their work The backpack s electricity generating feature could dramatically reduce the amount of a wearer s load now devoted to spare batteries report Rome and his colleagues in the Sept 9 Science6 The backpack s electricity creating powers depend on springs used to hang a cloth pack from its metal frame The frame sits against the wearer s back and the whole pack moves up and down as the person walks A gear mechanism converts vertical movements of the pack to rotary motions of an electrical generator producing up to 7 4 watts Unexpectedly tests showed that wearers of the new backpack alter their gaits in response to the pack s oscillations so that they carry loads more comfortably and with less effort than they do ordinary backpacks Because of that surprising advantage Rome plans to commercialize both electric and non electric versions of the backpack The backpack could be especially useful for soldiers scientists mountaineers and emergency workers who typically carry heavy backpacks For the rest of us power generating backpacks could make it possible to walk play video games watch TV and listen to music all at the same time Electricity generating packs aren t on the market yet but if you do get one eventually just make sure to look both ways before crossing the street 48 Backpacks are convenient because A your hands are freed to do other things B they can hold as many things as you want to carry C they can be very large D you do not have to carry things with you 49 What is the most important feature of the backpack invented by Lawrence C Rome and his colleagues A It is small and convenient B It can be used as cell phones GPS in the military actions or field studies 现场 研究 C It produces electricity for electronic devices while the wearer walks D It is light and easy to carry 50 The word springs in Paragraph 3 means A a small stream of water flowing naturally from the earth B the season of the year occurring between winter and summer C the act or an instance of jumping or leaping D a length of metal wound around which returns to its original shape after being pushed 51 According to Paragraph 4 what does Rome plan to do A To make the backpack more comfortable for the wearer B To test the advantage of the backpack C To put the backpack on the market D To promote the backpack in a newspaper or on television D Though joke lovers in many countries joyfully fool friends on April Fool s Day no one knows exactly when or why or even where this tradition began Practical joking seems to have coincided with the coming of Spring since the time of Ancient Romans and Celts Some trace 追溯 April Fool s Day back to Roman mythology 神话 particularly the story of Ceres Goddess of the harvest and her daughter Proserpina Pluto God of the Dead cheated Proserpina and took her to live with him in the underworld The girl called out to her mother but Ceres could only hear the echo 回音 of her daughter s voice Such fool s errands 差事 became a popular practical joke in Europe in later centuries The most widespread theory of the origin of April Fool s day the switch from the old Julian to the Gregorian calendar in the late 16th century Under the Julian calendar it was celebrated during the week between March 25 and April 1 but under the Gregorian calendar it was moved to January1 Those who weren t informed of the change or stubbornly kept to the old tradition were often laughed at and had jokes played on them or around the old New Year In France this took the form of practical joker sticking fish on the backs of those who celebrated the old custom earning the victims of the joke the name Poisson d April or April Fish In Scotland the butts 笑柄 of April Fool s jokes were known as April Gowks another name for a cuckoo bird In more recent times radio stations TV programs and Web sites have set up gullible readers and listeners One of the most famous jokes was a 1957 BBC program of the annual spaghetti harvest in Switzerland Were so fooled they wanted to find out how to get a spaghetti bush of their own Many listeners So while you re surfing the web or watching TV today be aware of what you see and read or you should end up an April Fool 52 Which of the following is TRUE of Proserpina A She loved Pluto very much B she was an April Fool C She was Ceres s daughter D are easy to be tricked 53 The underlined words gullible readers in the last paragraph refer to readers who A like joking very much B surf the web on April 1 C like surfing the web D are easy to be tricked 54 The text is mainly to A explore the origin of April Fool Day B warn readers against being cheated C show versions of the origins of April Fool Day D introduce the real tradition of April Fool s Day 55 Which of the following has nothing to do with April Fool s Day A April Gowks B The origin of spaghetti C Poisson d April D The story of Ceres E America is a mobile society friendships between Americans can be close and real yet disappear soon if situations change neither side feels hurt by this both may exchange Christmas greetings for a year or two perhaps a few letters for a while then no more If the same two people meet again by chance even years later they pick up the friendship this can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand because friendships between us flower more slowly but then may become lifelong feelings extending 延伸 sometimes deeply into both families Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes share their holidays and their home life they will enjoy welcoming us and be pleased if we accept their hospitality 好客 easily Another difficult point for us Chinese to understand Americans is that although they include us warmly in their personal everyday lives they don t show their politeness to us if it requires a great deal of time This is usually the opposite of the practice in our country where we may be generous with our time Sometimes we as hosts will appear at airports even in the middle of the night to meet a friend We may take days off to act as guides to our foreign friends The Americans however express their welcome usually at homes but truly can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily routine they will probably expect us to get ourselves from the airport to our own hotel by bus And they expect that we will phone them from there Once we arrive at their homes the welcome will be full warm and real We will find ourselves treated hospitably For the Americans it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to go to restaurants except for purely business matters So accept their hospitality at home 56 the writer of this passage must be A an American B a professor C a Chinese D a student 57 which of the following statements is true according to the passage A friendships between Americans usually extend deeply into their families B Americans will continue their friendships again even after a long break C Americans always show their warmth even if they are very busy D friendships between Americans usually last for all their lives 58 from the last two paragraphs we can learn that when we arrive in America to visit an American friend we will probably be A treated hospitably at his home B offered a ride to his home C warmly welcomed at the airport D treated to dinner in a restaurant 59 the underlined words generous with our time in paragraph 3 probably mean A strict with time B willing to spend time C careful with time D serious with time 60 a suitabl
