According to a survey of 679 chief financial officers by Duke University and CFO Magazine this month, US businesses expect to cut capital spending by more than 10% in the
13、next 12 months, a sharp decrease from September, when the CFOs expected business investment to increase slightly.John Graham, finance professor at Duke and director of the survey, says businesses are finding ways to repair existing machinery and buildings rather than replace equipment or move.

Robert Coen, director of forecasting at media analysis firm Magna, predicts a 4.5% drop in ad spending to $ 259 billion in 2009 on the heels of a 3.2% drop in 2008. “A recovery in US ad budgets will probably not get underway until 2010,” he says. Another negative for 2009:
16、 There arent any big ad spending events such as the Olympics or national elections.Declining business spending will hurt a number of industries but will be especially tough for the manufacturing sector.

When you swim underwater, you can
21、feel water push down your body. The air all around you does the same. However, your body is so used to it that you do not notice this. The pressure is caused by a layer of air called the atmosphere. This layer surrounds the Earth, extending to about five kilometers above the Earths surface.The follo
22、wing experiment is an easy one that you can do at home. But make sure that you are supervised, because you will need to use matches. Now foe the experiment！What you needA hard-boiled egg without the shellA bottle with a neck slightly smaller than the eggA piece of paperA matchMetheod1） Check that th
23、e paper will sit firmly on the neck of the bottle.2） Tear the paper into strips and put the strips into the bottle.3） Light the paper by dropping a burning match into the bottle.4） Quickly sit the egg on the neck of the bottle.ResultAstonishingly, the egg will be sucked into the bottle. Your friends
24、 will be amazed when you show them the experiment. But be careful when you handle matches.Why it happenedAs the paper burns, it needs oxygen and uses up the oxygen （air） in the bottle. The egg acts as a seal in the neck of the bottle, so no more air can get inside. This reduces the air pressure insi
25、de the bottle. The air pressure must equalize, so more air from outside must enter the bottle. The outside air pressure against the egg and then the egg is pushed into the bottle! The proves that air is all around and that it is pressing down on it.60. Why is there the need to take care when you are
26、 doing the experiment?A. The bottle could break.B. You need to light the paper with a match.C. The egg needs to be shelled.D. The egg has to be perfectly placed on the neck of the bottle.61.

A university educat
38、ion is of huge and direct benefit to the individual. Graduates earn more than non-graduates. Meanwhile, social mobility is ever more dependent on having a degree. However, only some people have it. So the individual, not the taxpayers, should pay for it. There are pressing calls on the resources (资源
39、) of the government. Using taxpayers money to help a small number of people to earn high incomes in the future is not one of them. www. . com/gaokao/beijing Full government funding (资助) is not very good for universities. Adam Smith worked in a Scottish university whose teachers lived off student fee
40、s. He knew and looked down upon 18th-century Oxford, where the academics lived comfortably off the income received from the government. Guaranteed salaries, Smith argued, were the enemy of hard work; and when the academics were lazy and incompetent, the students were similarly lazy. www. . com/gaoka
41、o/beijing If students have to pay for their education, they not only work harder, but also demand more from their teachers. And their teachers have to keep them satisfied. If that means taking teaching seriously, and giving less time to their own research interests, that is surely something to celeb
42、rate. Many people believe that higher education should be free because it is good for the economy (经济). Many graduates clearly do contribute to national wealth, but so do all the businesses that invest (投资) and create jobs. If you believe that the government should pay for higher education because g
43、raduates are economically productive, you should also believe that the government should pay part of business costs. Anyone promising to create jobs should receive a gift of capital from the government to invest. Therefore, it is the individual, not the government, who should pay for their universit

48、 at your lessons？And how do you usually relax yourselves after study?Welcome to my home in Washington State some day.Give my best regards to your parents!Affectionately yours，Catherine一 、单项填空答案：B考查动词时态。句意为：嗨，Smith先生，你在哪个部门工作？我现在在市场部工作，但是不久后我将在销售部工作。before long意为“不久后”此可知，事情发生在将来，故答案B符合语境。【答案】D【解析】考查非
49、谓语动词。此处非谓语动词作宾补，动词block与see的宾语the road之间为被动关系，构成短语see sb/ sth done。故选D。【译文】 穿蓝色衣服女孩是新来的同学。我知道。【答案及简析】 D。 差一点,用在本题意思不通顺；mostly意为主要的；几乎全部(almost all),本句意思是我们班有45名同学,他们大部分对足球感兴趣。解析：此题容易误选B，误认为这是考查not.until.结构。句中的your work is being done表明“你正在做作业”，as表原因。答案：C解析：It is the first/second.time that.结构中的从句常用现在完
50、成时，故选B项。答案：B二 、完形填空【要点综述】这是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。作者通过人们去参加一个葬礼，告诉人们一个道理：阻碍自己进步的人不是别人，正是自己，要超越自我，战胜自我，才能战胜困难。16A句意：在公司一直阻拦你的人昨天去世了。person符合题意。17Cdie away渐息；减弱；die out灭绝；pass away去世；pass out昏倒。 pass away符合句意。18D句意：我们邀请你们参加已经准备好的葬礼。protect“保护”；prevent“阻止”；和prove“证明”均不符合句意；prepare“准备”符合句意。19B认为是自己的同事去世，大家一开始都很悲伤。故选
51、sad。20B从but看，大家很“好奇”想知道到底是谁去世了。curious“好奇的”符合题意。21A从第二段的“the _who has been hindering (阻碍) your growth in this company _.”看出答案。22C从第四段的“The more people _ the coffin (棺材), the more the excitement heated up.”看出答案。23Awithin the room意思是“在房间里”。符合题意。24Creach the coffin意思是“到达棺材旁”相当于下文的 get closer to，符合语境。25
52、D句意：到底谁是阻止我进步的人？故选who。26Ccarefully仔细地；actually事实上；suddenly突然；madly疯狂地。根据下文的became speechless看出，是“突然地”的意思。27A从本句中felt shocked看出“大家鸦雀无声”。in silence “寂静无声；沉默”符合句意。28B句意：好像有人触摸到他们的灵魂深处。soul“灵魂”符合句意。29D镜子在棺材里面，所以大家是往里面看的。look inside“往里面看”符合题意，其他三个选项均不符合题意。30C句意：镜子旁还有一块标牌，上面写着：“只有一个人能限制你的发展，那就是你自己”。 say“写
53、到”符合句意。31C句意：镜子旁还有一块标牌，上面写着：“只有一个人能限制你的发展，那就是你自己。”limit“限制”相当于文章中的hinder符合句意。deadline最后期限；demand要求；lack缺乏，均不符合句意。32D从本段的“when your boss changes, when your friends change, when your parents change, when your husband or wife changes”看出答案。33Ago beyond超越；go without没有也可以；go towards朝去。 go beyond “超越”符合句意。
54、34Bdifficulties 与impossibilities and losses是并列的。35C句意：请记住这就是你面对的有重要影响的生活方式。remember“记住”符合句意。三 、阅读理解 本文是篇说明文。结束了证明空气对于每一个人的压力是存在的结论。60. B 【解析】细节理解题。 根据Result 一段最后一句But be careful when you handle matches可知。61.【答案】C 【解析】 细节理解题。 根据最后一段第一句可知。62.【答案】D 【解析】细节理解题。 根据最后一段倒数第二句可知。63.【答案】C 【解析】细节理解题。 根据最后一段最后一
55、句可知。 6670DCDBCD篇阅读技巧：此篇议论文难度较低。把握议论文的阅读两步：1. 作者想说服你什么？2. 分了几个并列的点来说服你？答题技巧：此篇包括2个推断题和1个细节题。其中68题要求学生找出them的所指，对学生分析代词的所指提出了更高的要求，此项技能在完型和阅读中都有体现；70题属于基于议论文结构的设问，问最后一段的例子在文章中的作用，对议论文的结构和写作模式有了解的同学都可以轻松应答。68. B推断代词所指，较难题。There are pressing calls on the resources (资源) of the government. Using taxpayers
56、 money to help a small number of people to earn high incomes in the future is not one of them. ww往前看，发现前句就一个复数名词，就它了。69. D细节题，简单题。根据题干关键词full government funding定位原文，根据文题顺序一致原则从上一题them后面去找，会找到Full government funding (资助) is not very good for universities. and when the academics were lazy and incompet
57、ent, the students were similarly lazy. lazy转换成spendless time不难得出正确选项。70. A结构推断题，简单题。题目问提到business有什么目的，就等于问议论文中的论据有什么用，地球人都知道：支持论点。马上从本段段首找论点：Many people believe that higher education should be free从全文的哪都可以看出作者就是要反对free higher education. 四 、书面表达参考范文Dear Catherine，Thanks for your letter.Im very glad
58、that you feel it a good time to stay in my family during your stay in China for the Chinese Bridge activities.Its very kind of you to praise my family for the little we did for you.I，on behalf of my parents，sincerely expect you to come to China again.As you know，were living a happy school life.We ar
