We were only a cou
18、ple of blocks from home when I spotted a cellphone and a credit card sitting on the road. We took them home. We always find amazing things on the street and she looks upon them as a movable feasta chicken wing here or a barbecue rib there.I found another cellphone a few years back, too, and called a
19、 number in its phone book. I explained the situation to the guy who answered. He said it was his sisters and that hed come to pick it up, which he did.And that was that. No verbal(口头的) thank-you, no written thank-you, no “heres a box of chocolates” thank-you.I didnt have time to call anyone on my la
20、test found cellphone. I was pouring myself coffee when it started to vibrate(颤动) and dance across the kitchen counter.“Whos this?” someone asked when I picked up.“Whos this?” I countered(反问). “Sarah?”She was surprised at my knowing her name until she realized her name was on the credit card, “Could
21、you send them to me?” she asked.She lives in Arlington, which is 2 miles from my house.“Hmm, no,” I replied, adding that I thought she could come to get them, and that if I wasnt at home, they would be in my mailbox.A day later, when I was out for a run, someone retrieved them. There wasnt even a pi
22、ece of paper put in the mailbox with “Thanks” on it. In this age of e-mail and cellphone, theres really no excuse. Years ago, I found something more precious than a $100 bill on the street: a drivers license. I saw that its owner lived a couple of blocks from me, so I called him up. He asked whether
23、 I could slip the license through his front door.“I guess I could,” I replied.And that was that.41What would be the best title for the passage?ASeveral Experience of My OwnB“Thanks” Is No Longer NecessaryCIts Polite to Thank the FindersDLosers Lack the Manners to Thank the Finders42According to the
24、passage, it can be inferred that Maggie should be _.Athe authors wifeBthe authors pet dogCthe authors best friendDthe authors daughter43The underlined word “retrieved” (in Paragraph 10) means “_”.Agot backBreturnedClostDthrew away44How did the author feel when he told about his previous similar expe
25、riences?ADisappointed.BHelpless.CEncouraged.DHopeful.BThe interview has been going on for about 20 minutes and everything seems to be going well. Then, suddenly, the interviewer asks an unexpected question, “Which is more important, law or love?”Job applicants in the west increasingly find themselve
26、s asked strange questions like this. And the signs are that this is beginning to happen in China.Employers want people who are skilled, enthusiastic and devoted. So these are the qualities that any reasonably intelligent job applicant will try to show no matter what his or her actual feelings are. I
27、n response, employers are increasingly using the questions which try and show the applicants true personality.The question in the first paragraph comes from a test called the Kiersey Temperament Sorter. It is an attempt to discover how people solve problems, rather than what they know. This is often
28、 called aptitude(天资) test.According to Mark Baldwin of Alliance, many job applicants in China are finding this type of questions difficult. “When a Chinese fills out an aptitude test, he or she will think there is a right answer but they may fail because they try to guess what the examiner wants to
29、see.”This is sometimes called the prisoners dilemma(窘境). Applicants are trying to act cleverly in their own interest, but they fail because they dont understand what the interviewer is looking for. Remember that in an aptitude test, the correct answer is always the honest answer.45What is the purpos
30、e of the passage?ATo give a piece of advice for job interviewees.BTo tell you how to deal with job interviews.CTo describe an aptitude test.DTo advise you how to find a good job.46Now employees want to hire workers _.Awho know much more than othersBwho are better educated than othersCwho are able to
31、 solve the problemsDwho will work harder than others47According to the writer, in an aptitude test, Chinese job applicants should _.Anot tell the truthBoffer a complete answerClearn to tell what they really thinkDfind out what the examiner wants to know48From the passage we know that _.Ajob applican

Shes also a member of Habitat for Humanity.How Miss Seventeen changed her life?The show made me more independent. When I got back from New York, I broke up with my boyfriend of three yearsI wanted to find myself as a
34、 person first.Where is she now?Briannes senior at the University of Montana, majoring in journalism. She is writing an article on gossip(闲话) for Seventeens April issue.How Miss Seventeen changed her life?“Contrary to how I was described on the show, I really try to keep my mouth shut! Difficult expe
35、riences, like when my boyfriend broke up with me, really help me grow. Ive been trying to focus on the positive of it all.”Where is she now?Brittneys freshman at Louisiana State University, majoring in mass communication, and is a sister in Zeta Tau Alpha.How Miss Seventeen changed her life?“I reall
36、y grew up this summer. Meeting so many motivated(积极向上的) and focused girls made me wonder if I knew what I wanted to do. It encouraged me to go out, volunteer more, and get enthusiastic about causes.”Where is she now?Connies a freshman at the University of California at Davis, and is deciding between
37、 a major in Asian American studies, communications, or psychology. She runs her own marketing business for a technology company.How Miss Seventeen changed her life?“It was amazing to be on a TV show about role models. I made the front page of the newspaper at UC Davis. Although people have said they
38、 saw me as a ditzy(没有头脑的) person, I think I created fun on the show.”49According to the passage, Miss Seventeen is probably _.Aa TV showBa famous universityCthe name of a girlDa famous model50By saying “I wanted to find myself as a person first”, Amber meant _.Ashe wanted to be independentBshe was a
39、 good person in factCshe wanted to become a real girlDshe was not well treated before51Whose major are we not sure about from the form above?AAmbers. BBriannes.CBrittneys.DConnies.52From the passage, it can be inferred that _.Agirls can communicate with each other on Miss SeventeenBConnie is always

The next big Latin music explosion is on its way in secondary markets across the United States, and the numbers are there to ba
41、ck it up. Among all genres(种类), Latin music was the only one registering growth in 2005. From tiny Vero Beach in northern Florida to Des Moines, Iowa, in the heart of the Midwest, from Charlotte, N.Cto Salt Lake City, Latin music sales are skyrocketing.Wilson says there are two major reasons for the
42、 increase. One is simply the Hispanic(来自说西班牙语国家的) populations increase in specific areas, which encourages stores to carry Latin product for the first time. Second, and perhaps more important, is the fact that major companieswhether dealing in music or notare addressing the Latin consumer at a corpo
43、rate(公司的) level, creating Latin departments and hiring Latin ad agencies. One of Handlemans suburban Detroit stores, for example, has expanded its Latin section four times in the last two years. Cities like Milwaukee and Des Moines are now stocking Latin product.Besides, it also results from economi
44、c development. It goes something like this: more often than not, a city or country with a seemingly important Hispanic population will suddenly expand its construction or offer affordable housing to those working in larger, neighboring cities. This attracts lower-income workers, many of whom are Lat
45、in. Small shops and groceries begin to stock a small selection of music. When the Latin population numbers reach a critical mass, the local mass merchant, if there is one, begins stocking the product. Sooner or later, a local radio station follows; first AM, then FM. Sometimes its a cable TV show or
46、 a small TV station.Of course, there are other driving forces that should not be forgotten, for example, regional Mexican music.53The passage mainly tells readers _.Athat more and more Americans like Latin musicBwhat makes Latin music develop fast in American marketCwhy Latin music becomes Americans
47、 favorite musicDthat Latin music is bringing in more benefits for Americans54The underlined word “skyrocketing” in the first paragraph means “_”.Achanging very quicklyBdisappearing slowlyCrecovering slowlyDincreasing very quickly55According to the third paragraph, which shows the right relations amo
48、ng the following things?economic developmentmore Latin workersshops stock of Latin musiclocal radio stationsmall TV stationthe development of Latin musicAB C D 56Suppose that the passage doesnt finish, which of the following may be discussed next?AThe variety of Latin music in America.BThe economic
49、development in Hispanic area.CThe historic development of regional Mexican music.DThe driving forces of regional Mexican music.EAccording to a report by the China News Weekly, Chinese white collars are becoming fully occupied in the office. They pursue many of their activities in the office building
50、, eating, doing exercise, resting, playing games or even dating.In large cities such as Shenzhen, Shanghai and Beijing, where economy is developing at a fast speed, office workers face an increasing work pressure day by day and many of them have begun to make office their home.As the young generatio
51、n in society, most of them are aged between 25 and 45. In the eyes of outsiders, they enjoy a comfortable life: they lead the fashion trend in the city and earn a high salary; they enjoy a flexible(灵活的) working schedule and a very good working environment; having a good education background, they do
52、nt have to worry that one day they will lose their jobs.However, only the white collars themselves know what others see as a good life is in fact a boring life. They often work for extra hours, suffer from loss of creative ability and have little time to make friends. When they go off from work late
53、 at night, sometimes they might think of asking for a leave the next day and having a holiday somewhere. However, when a new day begins, they find everything back to normal and themselves pushed by new tasks.In fact, even if they dont work for extra hours in the office, they have no place to go. Man
54、y of the young people are fresh from college, or have come to work in large cities from their hometowns. As newcomers, they havent established(建立) a social network. They have few friends to go dating. Meanwhile, many of them face a great pressure for earning money to buy a house or a car. If they ca
55、nnot afford to buy these, they still have to work to pay for high apartment rents and communication fares.57The underlined sentence (in paragraph 1) probably means _. AChinese white collars spend most of their time in the officeBthe office is crowded with Chinese white collarsCChinese white collars
56、make the office filled with odds and endsDChinese white collars are not allowed to get out of the office58The following are all reasons why white collars want to have a rest EXCEPT that _.Athey have to continue to stay at office after workBthey have no interest in anythingCthey feel more and more di
57、fficult to think up a good ideaDthey have little time to make friends59The main idea of the third paragraph is that _.Awhite collars can earn high salary and work freelyBwhite collars neednt worry about losing jobsCwhite collars are admired by other peopleDwhite collars are in the lead in the way of
58、 behaving60From the passage, we can infer that _.Awhite collars are all workaholics who regard the office as homeBpeople have a good understanding of what white collars life isCwhite collars are the models of young people in societyDwhite collars suffer from material and mental pressure in life第二节：T
