President Hu Jintao, in a Mao jacket, reviewed the thousands of soldiers. “Today a socialist China that faces the future is standing tall and firm in the East, ” he announced. China holds grand celebrations every 10 years to celebrate the founding of the country. But this parade topped those in the past. Behind the celebrations is the great progress China has made. When the country was founded, it was poor, but now China has the worlds third largest economy. China has more Internet and mobile phone users than anywhere else and is the worlds largest car market. Almost all Chinese families have at least one television and, in the cities, a washing machinerare things 30 years ago. Some 15 million families own cars, said Xinhua News Agency. On the parade floats could be seen models of high-speed trains, giant computers, cars and bundles of wheat and rice. “I never thought China would be able to have such a great celebration, and at a time when the world economy is slowing down. The parade showed me how powerful my country is and it makes me feel proud of it, ” said Jia Yanxin, 16, from BeijingYuyingHigh School. Despite the pride, China still has a lot of progress to make: although it is the third largest economy in the world, the average urban income (15, 781 yuan in 2008) is still low. Also, there is a widening gap between rich and poor and environmental problems. However, the celebration was not just a showcase (展示) of the countrys success. It was not just a parade. It was the Chinese peoples march into their own future, as China Daily said. “China has grown from a baby to a grown-up with responsibilities. I believe it will go much further over the next 10 years, ” said Gong Chen, 16, from Beijing No.8 High School. 56. Whats the passage mainly about? A. The grand celebration of Chinas 60th anniversary. B. Chinas future after the celebration. C. The great progress China has made over the last 30 years. D.

China has the largest number of Internet and mobile phone users. B. The economy of China ranks third. C. Almost all Chinese families now have at least one TV and a washing machine. D.

China has the largest number of car usersD. there were 10, 000 people taking part in the parade【解析】选B。推理判断题。A项与第七段描述不符，我们看到的是模型，而不是实物；C项不能从文章中推出；D项与第一段描述不符。B项由第三段最后一句可推知。59. There is still a lot of progress to make for China in the following aspects except _ . A. the average urban income B. the gap between rich and poorC. environmental problemsD. pride in our country【解析】选D。细节理解题。由倒数第三段可看出A、B、C都是中国有待于进一步做出努力的方面。60. Whats the authors tone in the passage? A.

Doing this involves effort from both the sender of the message and the receiver. And its a process that can be involved with error, with messages often misunderstood by the recipient. When this isnt detected, it can cause great confusion, wasted effort and missed opportunity. In fact, communication is successful only when both the sender and the receiver understand the same information as a result of the communication. By successfully getting your message across, you convey your thoughts and ideas effectively. When not successful, the thoughts and ideas that you send do not necessarily reflect your own, causing a communications breakdown and creating roadblocks that stand in the way of your goalsboth personally and professionally. In a recent survey of new-comers in companies with more than 50, 000 employees, communication skills were considered as the single more important decisive factor in choosingmanagers. The survey points out that communication skills, including written and oral presentations, as well as an ability to work with others, are the main factor contributing to job success. In spite of the increasing importance placed on communication skills, many individuals continue to struggle, unable to communicate their thoughts and ideas effectivelywhether in verbal or written format. This inability makes it nearly impossible for them to compete effectively in the workplace, and stands in the way of career progression. Getting your message across is supreme to progressing. To do this, you must understand what your message is, what audience you are sending it to, and how it will be understood. You must also weigh in the circumstances surrounding your communications, such as situational and cultural context. 这是一篇说明兼议论的文章，向我们揭示了良好的交流能力对一个人事业发展的重要性，以及如何进行成功的交流。61. According to this article, it is a fact that _ . A. successful communication is only decided by the sender of the messageB. excellent communication skills are very important for the success of ones careerC. all the managers are good at communicating with the strangersD. people earning a lot of money must have mastered the communication skills【解析】选B。细节推断题。倒数第二段最后一句话告诉我们交际能力不高会阻碍事业的进步（. . . stands in the way of career progression），由此可以推断，出色的交流技巧对一个人事业的进步是非常重要的。 62. The underlined word “unambiguously” in the first paragraph can be replaced by _ . A. uncertainly B. unequallyC. unfriendly D. undoubtedly【解析】选D。词义猜测题。由and的作用可知，该词和clearly(清楚地；明确地)表达的意思是相似的，共同描述交流的目的，所以该词的意思应该是：undoubtedly无疑地，没有疑问地。63. It is said in a survey that the single more important decisive factor in choosing managers is ones _ . A. working experiences B. educationC. communication skills D. working ability【解析】选C。细节理解题。由第五段的“. . . communication skills were considered as the single more important decisive factor in choosing managers. ”可知C项正确。64. If you want to get your message across, you should do as the following except _ . A. being aware of what your message isB. understanding who you are sending the message toC. knowing about the circumstances surrounding your communicationsD. being familiar with the receiver【解析】选D。细节判断题。可用排除法。最后一段告诉了我们如何使自己的信息被别人理解，在解答此题时要注意同义替代现象：如A项中的“being aware of”同原文中的understand; B项和原文中的“what audience you are sending it to”; C项和原文中的“. . . weigh in the circumstances surrounding your communications. . . ”。D项没有提到。65. The whole passage intends to explain _ . A. why communication skills are importantB. how misunderstanding occurs in communicationsC. what the main factor is to career progressionD. how to improve your communication skills【解析】选A。文章意图推断题。由文章的结构来看，文章前三段向我们介绍了交流的目的以及如何成功地交流，然后从正反两个方面，用大量的篇幅介绍了成功交流的技能对于一个人的重要性。所以解释“why communication skills are important”就是本文的写作目的。(C)HAVANA (Reuters)U.S., Cuban and Mexican scientists have drawn up plans for joint research in the Gulf of Mexico, in another sign of improvement in long-unfriendly U.S. -Cuba relations. In a meeting in Havana this week, they agreed on collecting information about the Gulf, a body of water shared by the three countries but about which little cooperative research has been done in recent years. “This is a logical, low-risk area in which to begin discussions with Cuba. It is without question in our commoninterest to share science and ideas on our shared resources like the Gulf of Mexico, ” Environmental Defense Fund senior official Dan Whittle said on Tuesday. Whittle was among 30 Americans, 30 Cubans and six Mexicans at the meeting, held on Sunday and Monday ahead of an international meeting on ocean science this week in the Cuban capital. “Were starting now to enter a new era of cooperation, ” said meeting organizer David Guggenheim, American marine scientist. The plan assumes that U.S. -Cubarelations will continue to get better under President Barack Obama, who has said he wants to end five decades of bitterness between the two countries separated by just 90 miles of ocean. He has initiated talks on migration and regain of postal service with Cuba and allowed Cuban Americans to travel and send money freely to their homeland. But a general travel ban to Cuba for most Americans remains in effect, as does the United States 47-year-long trade prohibition against the communist-led island. There are also restrictions on travel of U. S. and Cuban academics between the two countries, although it has gotten easier under Obama to obtain permission, Guggenheim said. Whi
