since the time of Shennong 5 000 years ago Britain s relationship with tea is much shorter but tea enjoys pride of place as the UK s national drink According to the UK Tea Council British people drink an average of three cups a day or a national total of 165 million cups every day With figures like these it is no surprise that time spent taking tea affects the working day in Britain A recent survey found that 24 minutes a day are lost to making buying and drinking tea and coffee That is 400 a year is lost in working hours per 用心 爱心 专心3 employee or 190 days over a lifetime So should employers be worried about this lost working time or does the tea break make up in other ways One argument is that caffeine improves mental state a drink of tea or coffee can make you active and focus on work Professor Rogers of the University of Bristol disagrees After years of studying caffeine he sees nothing can prove that Workers would perform equally well if not drinking it at all he says But if they re often drinking it and then go without they ll feel tired and won t work well Psychologist Cooper instead emphasizes the role tea breaks play in office life and in building social relationships We need to make people more active and see other people The tea break is one way of doing this says Cooper And Professor Rogers also points out the comfort effect of a hot drink We warm our hands on them on a cold day they re comforting and play a big role in our everyday life Whatever the caffeine s doing I d say these 24 minutes aren t wasted 36 What is the passage mainly about A Tea Breaks cannot make people more active at work B British people drink more tea than people in other countries C Tea break plays an important role in people s life in Britain D A lot of time has been wasted drinking

drinking tea and coffee each year D people drink 165 million cups in working hours every day 38 What s Psychologist Coopers attitude towards tea break A Doubtful B Uncertain C Negative D Positive B B The first time I went for a walk around my father in law s neighborhood was garbage day and I was shocked to see what people were throwing out It was back in 1981 and I saw many people gathered in someone s front yard As I went nearer to see what was happening I got my first introduction to yard sales For the few dollars I had in my wallet I was able to buy a seven inch black and white portable TV I also bought a flashlight The following weekend at another yard sale I saw a 14 inch color TV being sold for almost nothing I felt I could not miss the offer and bought it Now I had two sets and couldn t wait to see what else I could afford the next weekend Spring ended and by then I had accumulated almost every type of electronic equipment I had always wished to have back home Then this new idea came to mind I had heard about a man who traveled back home every few months He drove a truck filled with boxes of new and used stuff that people were sending to relatives So I told my father that I would send as many types of items as I could so that he could start his resale business Every few months I would gather several boxes of American junk televisions toasters fans hair dryers etc and send them home As word got out about my father s trash market people all came to buy these things Three years later when I visited my family for the first time since leaving home I 用心 爱心 专心4 learned that many of the families in our neighborhood had a piece of trash It proved that I had the responsibility to keep people back home up to date with the latest technology you no longer need 39 According to the text a yard sale is a place where people A sell their front yards at a low price B sell unwanted things in their own yards C gather in someone s yard to enjoy things D throw away their trash in someone s yard 40 The author felt he could not miss the offer because A the second TV set was bigger B the second TV set was color TV C the second TV set was very cheap D he wanted two TV sets very much 41 What did the author think of the junk he bought A He thought they were valuable B He thought they were worth buying C He was not surprised to see them thrown away D He thought he could sell them for a good price 42 From the passage we can infer that A The author comes from a poor country B The author often goes home to sell the junk C The author buys the junk only to make profits D The junk is not welcomed in the author s home country C C The Man Booker Prize for Fiction is awarded every year for a novel written by a writer from the Commonwealth or the Republic of Ireland and it aims to represent the very best in contemporary fiction The prize was originally called the Booker McConnell Prize which was the name of the company that sponsored it though it was better known as simply the Booker Prize In 2002 the Man Group became the sponsor and they chose the new name keeping Booker Publishers can submit books for consideration for the prize but the judges can also ask for books to be submitted they think should be included Firstly the Advisory Committee formed by sponsors give advice if there have been any changes to the rules for the prize and select the people who will judge the books The judging panel group changes every year and usually a person is only a judge once Great efforts are made to ensure that the judging panel is balanced in terms of gender and professions within the industry so that a writer a critic an editor and an academic are chosen along with a well known person from wider society However when the panel of judges has been finalized they are left to make their own decisions without any further involvement or interference from the prize sponsor The Man Booker judges include critics writers and academics to maintain the consistent quality of the prize and its influence is such that the winner will almost certainly see the sales increase considerably in addition to the 50 000 that comes with the prize Worth 60 000 to the winner the Man Booker International Prize is awarded every two years to a living author who has published fiction either originally in English or whose work is generally available in translation in the English language The winner is chosen 用心 爱心 专心5 solely at the mercy of the judging panel there are no opinions from publishers The Man Booker International Prize reflects and reinforces the annual Man Booker Prize for Fiction in that literary excellence will be its sole focus The Man Booker International Prize is significantly different from the annual Man Booker Prize for Fiction in that it highlights one writer s overall contribution to fiction on the world stage In seeking out literary excellence the judges consider a writer s body of work rather than a single novel 43 We can learn from the passage that A books can be submitted by writers B the judging panel doesn t include women C the judging panel advises on changes to the rules D the sponsors are involved in choosing the judges 44 The consistent quality of the prize is guaranteed by A the prize money B the gender of the judges C the make up of the panel of judges D by the increase in sales of the winner 45 The Man Booker Prize for Fiction is quite different from the Man Booker International Prize in that A it focuses on a single novel B it highlights an author s overall work C it offers much less money to the winner D it is named after the company that sponsored it 46 This passage suggests that both prizes mentioned in it A are not awarded to women writers B benefit the English literature greatly C are awarded only to the English writers D aim to promote book sales in the market D D The brown widow spider became established in Southern California in early 2000 and has become part of the local spider family in urban Los Angeles and San Diego The brown widow spider is continuing its expansion in Southern California and could possibly move northward into Central California The brown widow is suspected to have evolved in Africa although it was first described from South America which adds confusion as to where it might have originated It is a tropical and subtropical spider having established populations in Hawaii Florida parts of Australia South Africa and Japan In North America the brown widow was restricted for many decades to the Florida peninsula However around the year 2000 it started showing up in other Gulf Coast states Brown widows are now known from Texas to Georgia and South Carolina The brown widow builds its web in protected sites around homes and in woody vegetation with branches Some typical sites selected by brown widows for web building are empty containers such as buckets and nursery pots mail boxes entry way corners under eaves storage closets and garages undercarriages of motor vehicles that are stationary for long periods and the undersides of outdoor furniture They choose places that are more exposed 用心 爱心 专心6 than sites chosen by black widows and therefore appear to be at higher risk for interactions with humans as far as bites are concerned One recent study demonstrates that the brown widow spider is less poisonous than other widow species The reason for the weaker effect of brown widow bites on humans is possibly because the brown widow does not have much poison as its larger relatives but it is really a threat to humans as to its poison The two major symptoms of a brown widow bite were that the bite hurt when it was given and it left a red mark These two symptoms are not much different from the bite of normal household spiders There is no specific information regarding the control of brown widows by farm chemicals Most current advice is what is used for controlling spiders in general Therefore most commercially available farm chemicals should work on brown widows Avoiding a mess of the house and the garage should reduce nest sites for them Also one should store garage items in plastic bags where there might be interactions with spiders These items include rarely worn garments such as gardening clothes and gloves recreational items like sports equipment i e baseball gloves and other items where spiders can crawl up into holes where fingers can be inserted 47 The author wrote this article to A announce the result of a research on spiders B introduce the ways to get rid of the spiders C report a new finding of the widow species D warn readers against the brown widow 48 From the passage we can conclude that A brown widows are spreading northward B the brown widow originated from Africa C brown widows now can be found in all countries D there used to be no brown widows in North America 49 The third paragraph is mainly about A the brown widow s web building B the characteristics of the brown widow C the habitat preferences of the brown widow D the brown widow s threaten to human beings 50 It can be inferred that A brown widows can be killed with any farm chemicals B at present people can only control brown widow spiders C the brown widow has more poison than the black widow D victims bitten by the brown widow needn t see the doctor 四 单词拼写 共四 单词拼写 共 1010 小题 小题 每小题每小题 0 50 5 分 满分分 满分 5

growing number of sleep problems worldwide Sleep is a natural part of human life but many people in the modern world ignore its importance As a result sleep problems are increasingly common In 2002 scientists at the University of Athens in Greece conducted a survey of over 35 000 people in 10 countries around the world including China Belgium and South Africa Of the people that responded to the survey 24 percent said that they did not sleep well and based on their responses 31 6 percent were diagnosed 诊断 with insomnia 失眠 and another 17 5 percent were diagnosed with borderline insomnia In addition 30 7 percent of survey respondents reported visiting a doctor for help with sleep problems and 11 6 percent said that they felt very sleepy during the day Overall the survey found that ninny people suffer the effects of poor quality sleep some examples of which are being unable to fall asleep and waking up in the middle of the night The main factors causing these problems are pressure from school or work and a fast pace of life but noise pollution and light pollution also interfere with sleep and contribute to poor quality sleep The survey s findings are particularly troubling
