Comprehension 22marks Directions Read the following passages Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements For each of them there are four choices marked A B C and D Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage A People who like travelling have their reasons They believe that travelling can help them expand their field of view especially in the geographical and historical sense They also think that touring will give them more chances to enjoy different kinds of food and experience new things that would never be brought by other activities But those who dislike travelling also have some reasons Travelling in my opinion does more good than harm Most importantly it broadens 扩大 our mind We can get in touch with other civilizations 文明 culture customs and ideas Through history most people travelled because of necessity 必要性 not for pleasure People travelled just in order to remain alive They searched for food to eat or places to live in They sometimes ran away from enemies This is not to say that no one ever travelled just for the fun of it In ancient times for example rich Romans travelled all the way to Greece to take part in the Olympic Games and festivals Of course some people decided to travel just out of curiosity 好奇心 They wanted to find out what it looked like beyond the horizon 地平线 Also business travel has been going on for centuries Traders could not only make money but also learn to speak several languages and be introduced to different cultures So travelling does enrich our mind and draw new ideas to us There is no doubt that we can get much from it 43 The underlined word expand in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by A decide B protect C widen D lose 44 According to the passage in the past most people travelled A for knowledge B to make a living C to get experiences D for fun 45 In the writer s opinion travelling can be A tiring B funny C expensive D helpful B I am a long distance runner When I was thirty one I was in a serious car accident The doctor told me that they would try to get me to walk normally but I would never run again terrible news for someone who views running as the oxygen 氧气 she breathes The doctors were right For the next nine and a half years I was unable to run more than twenty five feet In 2006 I began self training to take part in a 60 mile walk Three months into preparing I realized that walking 4 5 hours a day was too long If only I could jog 慢跑 part of it that would cost me less time I started jogging without my knees aching Slowly I increased the distance The doctor were proved wrong it only took nine and a half years to do so While practicing I suffered a loss a dear friend suddenly died His work had been to help women to accept themselves and reach their fullest potential 潜力 He believed that people should let nothing hold them back from achieving their goals Soon after his death a crazy thought entered my mind what if I could run the LA Marathon I knew that if I didn t train to my fullest the doctor 5 would win So I trained seven days a week And I succeeded in crossing the finish line of the LA Marathons all over the United States to the astonishment of my doctors They never believed that I would achieve that The aches and pains I experience while training and racing are nothing compared to the suffering people whom I respect must accept 46 What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 1 A She didn t believe what the doctor said B She often felt it was hard to tolerate C She loved running very much D She lost heart after the accident 47 The author tried jogging because she wanted to A save some time B protect her feet C get more exercise D catch up with others 48 Why did the author decide to join in the marathon A Because she was so sorry for the loss of a friend B Because she was encouraged by her dead friend s words C Because she wanted to prove the doctors were wrong D Because she wanted to make more friends 49 What does the underlined word astonishment in Paragraph 3 mean A Surprise B Sadness C Disappointment D Anger C Internet use appears to cause a drop in psychological health according to a research at Carnegie Mellon University Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced more depression 沮丧 and loneliness than those who used Internet less frequently the two year study showed And it wasn t that people who were already feeling bad spent more time on the Internet but that using the Net actually appeared to cause the bad feeling Researchers are puzzled by the results which were completely the opposite to their experiences They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than television since the Net allows users to choose the information and to communicate with others The fact that Internet use reduces time available for family and friends may explain the drop in well being researchers supposed Faceless bodiless virtual communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversation and the relationships formed through it may be shallower Another possibility is that knowing the wider world via the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives But it s important to remember this is not about the technology it s about how it is used says psychologist Christine Riley of Intel one of the study founders It really points to the need for considering social factors in terms of how you design applications 应用 and services for technology 50 The best title of the passage probably is A Internet May Cause Depression B The Danger of Internet C Communication with Others by Internet 6 D Puzzled by the Results 51 Why did the results of research puzzle the researchers A People could choose their information through Internet B They had expected the opposite results C People can communicate with others D They had thought Internet was much healthier 52 Which of the following may be the cause of depression A Net users found their living conditions bad B Net users already had mental problems C Deep relationships were formed through Internet D Net users had less time to communicate with other people 53 The writer s attitude towards technology is A social factors must be considered while using technology B technology was to blame for depression C the problem doesn t lie in technology D applications and services for technology must be designed Part Writing 30 marks Section A 10 marks Directions Read the following passage Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage Effective 有效的 listening is important for improving communication between people The sad part is that we want others to listen to us but we ourselves are bad listeners therefore creating barriers 障碍 to effective listening Here are some common barriers to effective listening and some ways of overcoming them Before the speaker finishes speaking you think you know the answer already and interrupt him or her This is one of the most common barriers to effective listening Respect is important for good listening If you think you know the answer you still should listen carefully to what s being said and then make ready a few questions and answers wait for several seconds and then start speaking Whenever a speaker speaks many a time listeners try to help the speaker Though it may seem as if you re trying to help actually it isn t so In fact you should set up a separate 单独的 meeting for advising the speaker If you feel you have anything to say which the speaker may not know you should politely ask if you may suggest anything In a heated discussion the speakers sometimes don t agree to each other s opinions and treat it as a competition and then it becomes a barrier to good listening To overcome this you should express your opinions after the speaker has finished speaking Speak out wherever you disagree but also if you agree on anything you should point it out 54 Why is effective listening important No more than 8 words 2 分 55 According to Paragraph 2 what prevents effective listening No more than 8 words 2 分 56 What will you do if you really want to
