The port of London is one of the greatest ports in the world. Ships from all countries go up and down the Thames. They bring food to the people of Britain. Then they take British machines and other things back to the ports from which they come.There are many scenic spots(风景区) in the West of England. The Lakes here are the most beautiful in England. There are trees, and flowers and green grass round them.The water is almost always very still(平静), and you can see the green hills, the brown mountains and everything else round the lake upside down in the water. There are boats on all the larger lakes, which take people form one side to another. There are always a lot of boats on the lakes in summer.Travellers from many countries of the world go to the west of England in summer.

Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing，our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos (纹身）nose rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you cant judge a book by its cover, yet people do “cover” themselves in order to convey (传递)certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances so do companies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees (雇员),because those people represent the companies to their customers.As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are plenty of well-qualified candidates, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am open-minded, I cant expect all our customers are.There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply cause he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.5. Which of the following is the newspaper editor opinion according to Paragraph 2?A. Peoples appearances carry messages about themselves.B. Customers choices influence dress standards in companies.C.

Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates.7. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. Employees Matter B. Personal Choices MatterC. Appearances Matter D. Hiring Managers Matter8. The authors attitude towards strange dress styles in the workplace may best be described as . A. enthusiastic B. negative C positive D. sympatheticCBefore I had my son, I spent two years working with children with disabilities. I learned that shouting and threats of punishment would result in a disaster. Coming up against their behaviour could only make the job harder and their behaviour more extreme. I found something that worked, though.There was a very naughty boy in the nursery and a teacher who was generally very confident with the children was asked to take charge of him. One day the boy joined a session in the room next to mine. His appearance created an atmosphere of tension. He spent the entire session running around, hitting and kicking, and destroying property.I was in the craft room working with some other children when my co-worker told me that this boys teacher was in tears, and could not get control of the situation. As we were talking, the boy ran in. I told my co-worker that I would take care of him.I closed the door. He was full of energy, throwing things around and making a huge mess. But I could see that he was doing all these to annoy me. He needed connection, and this was the only way he knew how to ask for it. So I sat back down and kept quiet. Then he slowed down and began making a rocket. I talked to him about it. We continued like this for a few minutes before I slipped into the conversation:“So what happened today?”It was purely a question, no blame or anger in my tone. I believe that if I had criticized him, the gate that was slowly opening would have shut firmly closed. He told me that the teacher didnt let him do what he knew well due to safety but asked him to do what he disliked. He also admitted that he had enjoyed making her run around and saw it as a game. I explained that his teacher had not seen it as a game and was very upset. This again was stated simply as a fact. I suggested that next time he had a session, he talk about what he hoped to do at the start, which might be easier for everyone. He agreed and was quiet for a moment. Then he looked at me with tears in his eyes before quietly asking if he could go to find his teacher to apologize.9. The boy made trouble for his teacher because he _.A. was accused of destroying property B. was told not to yell at other childrenC. was made to do things against his will D. was blamed for creating an air of tension10. Why didnt the author do anything about the boys bad behavior at first?A. She didnt want to make it worse. B. She didnt mind the huge mess at all.C. She was tired of shouting and threats. D. She hadnt thought of a coping strategy.11. The author managed to get the boy to talk to her by _.A. playing games with him B. giving him a good suggestionC. describing his teachers feelings D. avoiding making critical remarks12. Why did the boy have tears in his eyes in the end?A. He was sorry about his reputation. B. He was regretful about his behavior.C. He was fearful of the authors warning.D. He was sad for the authors misunderstandingDThe common cold is the worlds most widespread illness, which is plagues(疫病) that flesh receives.The most widespread mistake of all is that colds are caused by cold. They are not. They are caused by viruses(病毒) passing on from person to person. You catch a cold by coming into contact, directly or indirectly, with someone who already has one. If cold causes colds, it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever. But they do not. And in isolated Arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes.During the First World War soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches(战壕), cold and wet, showed no increased tendency to catch colds. In the Second World War prisoners at the notorious Auschwitz concentration camp(奥斯维辛集中营), naked and starving, were astonished to find that they seldom had colds.At the Common Cold Research Unit in England, volunteers took part in Experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time. After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in drafty room. Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion. Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.If, then, cold and wet have nothing to do with catching colds, why are they more frequent in the winter? Despite the most painstaking research, no one has yet found the answer. One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on.No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and pain suppressors(止痛片) such as aspirin, but all they do is to relieve the symptoms(症状).13:The writer offered _ examples to support his argument.A4 B5 C6 D314:Arctic explorers may catch colds when _.Athey are working in the isolated Arctic regionsBthey are writing reports in terribly cold weatherCthey are free from work in the isolated Arctic regionsDthey are coming into touch again with the outside world15:The passage mainly discusses _. Athe experiments on the common coldBthe fallacy about the common coldCthe reason and the way people catch coldsDthe continued spread of common colds据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。Eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life.
