Today was a big day, because he was going to a job interview that he felt good about. The secretary he had talked to on the phone soun
27、ded friendly and encouraging. Maxwell was a typist. His fingers danced on the keyboard. However, his people skills were not nearly as good as his typing skills. Sometimes his mouth got in the way of his employment. At his last steady job, his boss had told him to start making coffee every morning. M
28、axwell laughed. “Im not making coffee,” he said. “Its not part of my job description.” “Read the employee manual again,” his boss said. “Your job description is anything I say it is.” “Thats a womans job,” said Maxwell. “Do it yourself.” His boss was still yelling as Maxwell walked out of the buildi
29、ng. He felt great about telling off the boss. A few days later, the reality of not having a job hit home. He had to pay the rent and utility bills, and he had to eat. What was he going to do? He thought about apologizing and asking for his job back. But how would that look? Then again, who cares how
30、 it looks when youre almost broke? After thinking about it for another week, he finally called his boss and apologized. His boss accepted his apology, but said that he had already hired a replacement. Maxwell contacted a temporary job agency, which provided him enough occasional work to pay his bill
31、s. But none of the companies that he was sent to were hiring. So Maxwell was excited about finally getting an interview for a steady job. Maxwells drive to the interview was disappointing. The traffic was congested and the neighborhood looked rough. It took him 45 minutes to get there. The building
32、was covered with graffiti.(涂鸦) The interview started 30 minutes late. Not bothering to apologize, the manager lit a cigarette and took a sip from his coffee cup. He leaned back in his chair and put his feet up on his desk. He asked Maxwell a lot of questions. Maxwell thought that each question was s
33、tupider than the preceding question. The final question was, “Where would you like to be 10 years from now?” What does that have to do with typing? Maxwell wondered. Stupid questions from a rude man in a lousy neighborhood! Where would he like to be 10 years from now? “Anywhere but this dump!” Maxwe
34、ll said angrily, as he stood up and walked out. 51Maxwell lost his last steady job because_.A. he was not a qualified typist. B. he couldnt make coffeeC. he was not skillful enough in communicating with people. D. he didnt apologize in time.52The underlined word congested most probably means _. A. t
35、oo blocked or crowded B. dangerous and poorC. light and slow-movingD. constant but fast-flowing53According to the passage, which statement is right about the job interview? A. Maxwell was 30 minutes late. B. The manager got no manners in the interview. C. The interviewer asked a lot of silly questio
36、ns except the last one. D. Maxwell misunderstood the interviewers questions.54After the interview, we can infer that _. A. Maxwell will celebrate his big day. B. The manager will apologize to Maxwell. C. Maxwell will finally get this post.D. Maxwell will have to find another job interview.B Coral Po
37、lge is a person who has provided comfort to thousands. She has a remarkable talent which may prove the survival of the human spirit after death, for Coral is a medium who draws the portraits of spirits who contact her. Coral, whose parents were spiritualists, was brought up in Harrow, North London,
38、where she attended a local spiritualist church. She studied art at the local college, where she specialized in textile design. Even though, at the time, she wasnt very good at drawing portraits, she met a medium who told her she would be a psychic(通灵的) artist. She doesnt actually see the dead nor ar
39、e her hands controlled by the spirits; instead she feels them coming through. Early in her career she drew the portraits of spirit guides from whom she had received help. These portraits of guides, who included Red Indians, nuns and monks, were remarkable, yet could have been attributed to the worki
40、ng of a strong imagination. She also drew portraits by holding on to letters that had been written by people who had since died. Coral says, I know exactly what to draw without thinking about it. Its involuntary, like breathing or walking. Not only are her portraits a good likeness but she sketches
41、her subjects in clothes they would have worn in life. Coral has displayed her talent at public meetings around the world. At one gathering there was a woman whose grandfather had just died. Her name was Phyllis Timms. Coral made a sketch of a man who had a long moustache and Phyllis recognized the m
42、an as her grandfather. However, she was reluctant to acknowledge the portrait without extra proof. Coral then said that the colour green was a link with the man whom she had drawn. Mrs Timms, whose maiden name had been Green, understood the significance of the comment and claimed the portrait. There
43、 are some people for whom this is evidence of survival from beyond the grave. Others, who have their reservations, may put it down to an extraordinary kind of extrasensory perception(超感知觉). Whatever the reason, it remains a gift impossible to explain away and we should try to keep an open mind.55. C
44、oral draws the portrait of spirits in order to _.A. prove the existence of the human spirit.B. help those people who miss the dead.C. show off her special talent.D. inspire people who believe in ghosts.56. According to the passage, Coral can draw the spirits most probably because _.A. she could see
45、the spirits.B. she learned it from college.C. she had a strong imagination.D. she was gifted to feel the spirits.57. In the example of Phyllis Timms, _.A. Coral failed to draw the portrait of the dead.B. Phyllis eventually admitted the portrait was right about her grandfather.C. Coral knew green was
46、 a name.D. Phyllis didnt prove Corals talent.58. What we can infer from the last paragraph is that _.A. people should believe in the spirits.B. science can explain what happened to Coral.C. people can learn supernatural powers.D. some mysteries on human beings havent been solved yet.CHere below we w
47、ill talk about the American expressions using the word “Dutch”. Many of the “Dutch” expressions heard in American English were first used in England in the seventeenth century. Britain used to be called “empire on which the sun never sets”，which gained its supreme至高无上的 power mostly by its naval mili
48、tary forces. The period of the Anglo-Dutch Wars was a time of fierce naval competition between England and the Netherlands. At that time, the British used “Dutch” as a word for something bad, or false, or mistaken.A “Dutch agreement” was one made between men who had drunk too much alcohol. “Dutch co
49、urage” was the false courage produced by the effects of drinking alcohol. And “Dutch leave” was what a solider took when he left his base基地 without permission.Some of these old expressions are still used today with a little different meaning. “Dutch treat” is one example. Long ago, a Dutch treat was
50、 a dinner at which the invited guests were expected to pay for their own share of the food and drink. Now, Dutch treat means that when friends go out to have fun, each person pays his own share.Another common expression heard a few years ago was “in Dutch”, which simply referred to the country then.
51、 Nowadays, if someone says to you, you are in Dutch, they are telling you that you were in trouble. An important person, a parent or teacher perhaps, is angry with you.Some of the Dutch expressions heard in American English have nothing to do with the Dutch people at all. In the 1700s, Germans who m
52、oved to the United States often were called Dutch. This happened because of mistakes in understanding and saying the word “Deutsch”, the German word for German. Families of these German people still live in the eastern United States, many in the state of Pennsylvania. They are known as the Pennsylva
53、nia Dutch.During the American Civil War, supporters of the northern side in the central state of Missouri were called Dutch, because many of them were German settlers. In California, during the Gold Rush, the term Dutch was used to describe Germans, Swedes, and Norwegians as well as people from the
54、Netherlands.President Theodore Roosevelt once noted that anything foreign and non-English was called Dutch. One expression still in use, “to talk to someone like a Dutch uncle”, did come from the Dutch. The Dutch were known for the firm way they raise their children. So if someone speaks to you like
55、 a Dutch uncle, he is speaking in a very severe way. And you should listen to him carefully. 59. According to paragraph 1, the British used “Dutch” as a word for something bad and mistaken because _.A. it was the long-lasting habit of the British language.B. the Netherlands was the closest rival for
56、 naval supremacy then.C. there was a close connection between “Dutch” and “Deutsch”. D. anything foreign and non-English was called “Dutch”.60. Most probably, a man with Dutch courage would _.A. invite his friends to dinner.B. beat a strange passer-by without any reason.C. speak to a Dutch uncle.D.
57、become angry with the teacher.61. Which one of the following has nothing to do with the Dutch?A. The expression “to talk to someone like a Dutch uncle”.B. When friends go out to have fun, they choose Dutch treat.C. Germans who moved to the United States were called Dutch.D. A solider took “Dutch lea
58、ve” during wars.62. What is mainly talked about in the passage?A. Language causes of the Anglo-Dutch WarsB. Language of the NetherlandsC. Deutsch V.S. DutchD. Dutch expressions in American EnglishDAn “apple polisher” is one who gives gifts to win friendship or special treatment. It is not exactly a
59、bribe(贿赂),but is close to it.All sorts of people are apple polishers, including politicians and people in high offices just about everybody. Oliver Cromwell, the great English leader, offered many gifts to win the support of George Fox and his party, but failed. There are other phrases meaning the s
60、ame thing as “apple-polishing” “soft-soaping” or “butter-up”. A gift is just one way to “soft-soap” somebody, or to “butter him up”. Another that is just as effective is flattery, giving someone high praise telling him how good he looks, or how well he speaks, or how talented and wise he is.Endless
61、are the ways of flattery. Who does not love or hear it ? Only an unusual man can resist the thrill of being told how wonderful he is. In truth, flattery is good medicine for most of us, who gets so little of it.We need it to be more sure of ourselves. It cannot hurt unless we get carried away by it.
62、 But we just lap it up for its food value and nourishment, as a cat laps up milk, then we can still remain true to ourselves.Sometimes, however, flattery will get you nothing from one who has had too much of it. A good example is the famous 12th century legend of King Canute of Denmark and England.
63、The king got tired of listening to the endless sickening flattery of his courtiers（朝臣）.They overpraised him to the skies, as a man of limitless power.He decided to teach them a lesson. He took them to the seashore and sat down. Then he ordered the waves to stop coming in. The tide was too busy to li
64、sten to him. The king was satisfied. This might show his followers how weak his power was and how empty their flattery.63.Which of the following activities has nothing to do with “apple-polishing” ?A. A boy tells his girlfriend how pretty she looksB. An employee tells his boss how good he is at mana
65、gementC.A knight(骑士)is said to be of limitless power by his followersD.A teacher praised his students for their talent and wisdom.64.Which of the following statement about flattery is TRUE according to the author ?A. Too much flattery can carry us away B. Flattery is too empty to do people any good
66、C. Flattery can get nothing but excessive(过度的)pride D. Flattery is one of the ways to apple-polish people.65. King Canute of Denmark and England took his followers to the seashore because _.A. he was sick of his normalB. he disliked being overpraised any moreC. he wanted them to realize how wise he
67、wasD. he wanted them to see how weak he was as a king66 The author thinks that flattery can do good to those who _.A. are really excellentB. lack confidenceC. are politicians or in high officesD. think highly of themselvesEFifteen years after Titanic smashed box office records and swept the Academy
68、Awards with 11 wins, director James Camerons favorite starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet is heading back to theaters this time in 3D. Cameron, who used to criticize other filmmakers for their naive attempts to convert 2D films to 3D, spent 60 weeks and $18 million trying to get the process
69、right for Wednesdays release of Titanic 3D, scheduled to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the real-life disaster. The burning question: How many people have yet to see a movie that took in $1.8 billion during its first theatrical run and has become on all cable movie channels? And for everyone
70、 else, is the new look worth the ticket price?It is spectacular: The 3D conversion, designed with obvious care and a great deal of consideration by Cameron, makes a great film even greater, says Lou Lumenick at The New York Post. The huge ship looks all the more impressive, the shocking disaster sce
71、nes all the more jaw-dropping, and the scene in which Jack rescues Kate from a suicide attempt becomes more terrifying and romantic in 3D. The conversion more than justifies another big-screen voyage. It is needless: Titanic 3D serves as the poster film for how unnecessary such technological methods
72、 are when you have a perfectly good original in the first place, says Ann Hornaday at The Washington Post. The 3D conversion doesnt look bad, but the added visual depth fails to raise the films humanism and spectacle. Occasionally, the 3D creates distance where there should be romantic intimacy, or
73、distract audiences attention by giving background extras a visual weight equal to the scenes main players.The 3D release only serves to remind us that this thrilling, complicated film has had the right dimensions all along.It changes the future of 3D: Films converted from 2D to 3D, with the promise
74、that vivid lifelike effects will draw audiences into a scene the way flat images cant, have generally disappointed, says Peter Howell at The Toronto Star. Titanic 3D, however, shows how the ambition can be realized if the will and skill are there. Every scene is sharper and brighter. Some shots are
75、now so thrilling as to almost lead to dizziness. Finally, were seeing the artistic value of a 3D conversion, which should inspire more filmmakers to follow in Camerons footsteps.67. According to the passage, what can be expected from the release of Titanic 3D?11. The date of the first show is fixed
76、on a special date.12. In the film, Jack and Kate will be rescued.13. More people will go to the cinema to enjoy the new version.14. The film will make a 1.8 billion dollar bonus in the run. 68. It can be inferred from the passage that, James Cameron _A. has his own understanding in making 3D filmsB.
77、 didnt like the idea of converting 2D films to 3D first.C. made little effort to make Titanic 3DD. had to choose Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet to star in the film69.
