New ideas are always welcome and can often improve our lives but we must ensure they fit well into our 41 culture.One current debate that highlights this crash between old and new ideas is the issue of organ donations 42 untreatable car crashes.Currently in China it is assumed that 43 of untreatable car crashes would be unwilling to donate their organs to others .This has helped lead to a situation where over 1.5 million people need a transfer but only about 10,000receive a new organ each year .In order to increase the number of organ donors, a new policy will require drivers to state whether they are willing to become organ donors or not.The 44 of asking drivers to be organ donors has shown to be successful .In America , the national average of organ donors is 38% but in Illinois where drivers are asked about organ donation the rate is 60% .Other western nations have also seen huge rises in the number of organ donors since asking drivers.However in China organ donation is a(n) 45 concept to many and crashes with some traditional ideas .Some have argued that the policy puts an evil eye on driving. Others have criticized the project because it predicts death. The strongest criticism has come from those who highlighted that it conflicts with traditional Chinese 46 which state how important it is for the body to be 47 unbroken.No one can deny the greater need for organ donation across the world and especially in China .However ,a project that is forced on people ,no matter how positive the aims are, will do more damage than good .Policy makers must go carefully and 48 in this area and ensure a system that is see-through and 49 by all.41. _ 42. _43. _ 44. _ 45. _46. _ 47. _ 48. _ 49. _III.

Many people have 52 credit card bills for the Christmas presents they bought, and pay day s often not until the end of the month. As the party season is over ,people feel 53 because they have to go back to real life and they may be unhappy with their body 54 after having too much wine ,ice-cream ,and other food at Christmas-time .People may have already failed in their New Years resolutions, 55 giving up smoking .The bad weather in January can also 56 people feeling fed up.Some companies are taking this quite seriously and offering counseling for any staff who are feeling depressed. They hope that helping people as soon as there are 57 of depression will avoid frequent absence from work. 58 ,it is not all bad !Many people feel optimistic at this time ,that things can only get 59 . Psychologists offer suggestions of how to avoid feeling blue. These include spending 15minutes doing a “gratitude exercise” thinking about and writing down what you are 60 for ,such as health ,family ,friends and so on. 61 a new hobby ,doing some exercise, going to bed earlier a healthy breakfast ,and listening to some uplifting music ,are all 62 as ways to feel more cheerful.To avoid feeling blue next January, experts say that the best thing to do is to 63 better next December .Spend less on presents ,eat and drink less over the festive period, and make more 64 New Years resolutions.( )50.A. regularlyB. generallyC. continuouslyD. obiously( )51.A. sleep patternB. hair styleC. working timeD. food supply( )52.

A. ambitiousB. incredibleC. ridiculousD. realisticSection BDirections: Read the following three 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 you have just read.(A) When families gather for Christmas dinner, some will stick to formal traditions dating back to Grandmas generation. Their tables will be set with the good dishes and silver, and the dress code will be Sunday-best. But in many other homes, this china-and-silver elegance has given way to a stoneware (粗陶)-and-stainless informality, with dresses assuming an equally casual-Friday look. For hosts and guests, the change means greater simplicity and comfort. For makers of fine china in Britain, it spells economic hard times.Last week Royal Doulton, the largest employer in Stoke-on-Trent, announced that it is eliminating 1,000 jobsone-fifth of its total workforce. That brings to more than 4,000 the number of positions lost in 18 months in the pottery (陶瓷) region. Wedgwood and other pottery factories made cuts earlier. Although a strong pound and weak markets in Asia play a role in the downsizing, the layoffs in Stoke have their roots in earthshaking social shifts. A spokesman for Royal Doulton admitted that the company “has been somewhat slow in catching up with the trend” toward casual dining. Families eat together less often, he explained, and more people eat alone, either because they are single or they eat in front of television;Even dinner parties, if they happen at all, have gone casual. In a time of long work hours and demanding family schedules, busy hosts insist, rightly, that its better to share a takeout pizza on paper plates in the family room than to wait for the perfect moment or a “real” dinner party. Too often, the perfect moment never comes. Iron a fine-patterned tablecloth? Forget it. Polish the silver? Who has time? Yet the loss of formality has its down side. The fine points of etiquette (礼节) that children might once have learned at the table by observation or instruction from parents and grandparents (“Chew with your mouth closed.” “Keep your elbows off the table.”) must be picked up elsewhere. Some companies now offer etiquette seminars for employees who may be competent professionally but clueless socially.( )65. Why do people tend to follow the trend to casual dining? A. Family members need more time to relax. B. Busy schedules leave people no time for formality. C. People prefer to live a comfortable life. D. Young people wont follow the etiquette of the older generation.( )66. The main cause of the layoffs in the pottery industry is . A. the increased value of the pound B. the worsening economy in Asia C. the change in peoples way of life D. the fierce competition at home and abroad( )67 Formal table manners, though less popular than before in current Social life, . A. are still a must on certain occasions B. are certain to return sooner or later C. are still being taught by parents at homeD. can help improve personal relationships (B) People are being invited to sit down to eat with their neighbors in a nationwide lunch party designed to promote community spirit. The Big Lunch is the idea of the Eden Project in Cornwall. It aims to persuade people up and down the country to hold street lunch parties.Tens of thousands of vegetables, fruits and flowers were used to construct a giant 2,000-square-foot lunch invitation in Londons Convent Garden. More than 9,000 cauliflowers and 800 bananas were used.According to the organizers, people who decide to take part in the activity will get support from large companies which will supply many of the necessities, including plants to be given out to people to grow. The organizers think that the Big Lunch is a great opportunity for people to get together and spend time with their neighbors, friends and families. Events like this also help build strong communities. People can show their talents, get over their embarrassment, shake hands and get to know their neighbors, and realize that the neighborhood where they live can be a great source of happiness and enjoyment. The Eden Projects leader, Tim Smith, says, Its a good way to face this recession. Imagine a day on which millions of us, throughout the UK, sit down to have lunch together with our neighbors in the middle of our streets, around our tower blocks, and on every patch of common ground. Well have cooked our own food, made our own entertainment, and created our own decorations. It will be a day to share bread with our neighbors, and put a smile on Britains face. ( )68. The Big Lunch aims to _.A. persuade people to eat healthy food B. encourage people to cook at homeC. help poor people in the community D. develop community spirit( )69. Which of the following is false?A. Large companies will give participants enough money to hold the lunch parties.B. The Big Lunch may be a good o
