2、in reason I like the job is the connection with patients. I like to help people, and my workmates are great, so that makes the job very rewarding. Its certainly not the pay thats terrible! Martin I really enjoy my job, although there can be a lot of paperwork and I have to attend a lot of meetings.
3、Preparing cases takes up a lot of my time, and can be very difficult. The best parts of the job are meeting clients (客户) and going to court. I work for a big international firm so there are good opportunities for promotion and I get to travel quite a lot, which is nice. Bill Its an interesting job,
4、but actually its very hard work as well. Theres also not much job safety. The pay is good, but sometimes I dont work for a few weeks, so that can be a worry. I suppose I enjoy the travel, but sometimes theres a lot of waiting around for photographers and stylists, which can be really boring. Jane So
5、me parts of the job are not very interesting, like filling shelves. Also, changing the window displays gets a bit repetitive. I like dealing with people on the phone and face to face.

10、lobal companies. His strategy (策略) was so successful that Sony was recently chosen as the number one brand name by American consumers (消费者), ahead of Coca-Cola and General Electric. Morita had a comfortable childhood. He was the eldest son of a wealthy family from Nagoya. He trained as a physicist.
11、Before he celebrated his 26th birthday, he had started his own company with a partner, Masaru Ibuka. In 1949 the company developed recording tape and in 1950 sold the first tape recorder in Japan. In 1957 it produced a pocket-sized radio and a year later renamed itself Sony. For the new name Mr Mori
12、ta combined the Latin word for sound, sonus, with the English expression “sonny boy” to give an impression of a company full of energy and youth. In I960 it produced the first transistor television in the world. Morita moved his family to the USA in 1963. This helped him to understand Americans, the
13、ir market and customs. Many people believe this was the key reason for his global success. Sony launched the Walkman in 1979 after Morita had noticed young peoples love of music. Morita was a workaholic (工作狂), but he was also a playaholic. He loved art and music, and was a sports enthusiast. He also

17、. He was hard-working and enjoyed his life.CBefore the 1830s,most newspapers were sold through annual subscriptions in America, usually $8 to $10 a year. Today $8 or $10 seems a small amount of money, but at that time these amounts were forbidding to most citizens. Accordingly, newspapers were read
18、almost only by rich people in politics or the trades. In addition, most newspapers had little in them that would appeal to a mass audience. They were dull and visually forbidding. But the revolution that was taking place in the 1830s would change all that.The trend, then, was toward the penny paper-
19、a term referring to papers made widely available to the public. It meant any inexpensive newspaper; perhaps more importantly it meant newspapers that could be bought in single copies on the street.This development did not take place overnight. It had been possible(but not easy)to buy single copies o
20、f newspapers before 1830,but this usually meant the reader had to go down to the printers office to purchase a copy. Street sales were almost unknown. However, within a few years, street sales of newspapers would be commonplace in eastern cities. At first the price of single copies was seldom a penn
21、y-usually two or three cents was charged-and some of the older well-known papers charged five or six cents. But the phrase penny paper caught the publics fancy, and soon there would be papers that did indeed sell for only a penny.This new trend of newspapers for the man on the street did not begin w
22、ell. Some of the early ventures(企业)were immediate failures. Publishers already in business, people who were owners of successful papers, had little desire to change the tradition. It took a few youthful and daring businessmen to get the ball rolling.28.Which of the following best describes newspaper
23、s in America before the 1830s?A. Academic.B. Unattractive.C. Inexpensive.D. Confidential.29.What did street sales mean to newspapers?A. They would be priced higher.B. They would disappear from cities.C. They could have more readers.D. They could regain public trust.30.Who were the newspapers of the
24、new trend targeted at?A. Local politicians.B. Common people.C. Young publishers.D. Rich businessmen.31.What can we say about the birth of the penny paper?A. It was a difficult process.B. It was a temporary success.C. It was a robbery of the poor.D. It was a disaster for printers.D International mode
25、l United Nations meetings are events at which high school and college students from all over the world play the role of UN representatives. These meetings are largely based on the real United Nations. They are even divided into many of the same groups, such as the UN Security Council and the World H
26、ealth Organization. The events allow students to develop and strengthen skills that are important for international careers, such as politics or international law. One of the main goals of the meetings is to develop effective communication skills. Because of this, students take part in many presenta
27、tions (陈述), debates, and written research tasks. For example, at the end of every meeting, each student group writes a suggestion for solving one major world problem that they have learned about through their research tasks. These groups then discuss their suggestion with the rest of the student rep
28、resentatives in order to get them to support it. They may also discuss and solve invented problems, such as imaginary wars or natural disasters. Such activities challenge students abilities to express their thoughts in a clear, thoughtful way. In addition to working on basic communication, students
29、at the meetings try to express themselves in polite ways that help to solve problems. This is perhaps the most difficult task for real UN delegates (代表), so model UN organizers put great importance on it. The organizers strongly encourage students to try to understand the ideas of others, consider t
30、heir feelings, and agree on solutions. The meetings are also designed to help students become more open-minded. Students often play the role of representatives for countries other than their own. This encourages them to learn more about other cultures and to think about important problems in differe
31、nt ways. While pretending to be from a different country, students are receiving a lot of ideas and information that they would not normally consider. Usually, they come away with a much better understanding of people in different cultures. This experience often gives them an advantage over schoolma
32、tes who only learn about world events and international relations in traditional classrooms.32. Why do students at model UN meetings take part in debates?A. To learn good communication skills.B. To help them decide between careers.C. To get other students to support them.D. To find solutions to majo
33、r world problems.33. Why do students play the role of representatives for other countries?A. To learn to communicate politely.B. To put themselves in others shoes.C. To consider problems in new ways.D. To decide which culture is the best.34. What does the author say about students learning only in t
34、raditional classrooms?A. They are given a lot of information.B. They dont learn about international events.C. Its easy for them to understand their classmates.D. It can be hard for them to understand other cultures.35. What is the text mainly about?A. Why viewpoints are changing at the UN.B. How to
35、solve invented problems at the UN.C. What students learn at model UN conferences.D. Which countries take part in model UN meetings.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，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。Painting The art of creating pictures using colors, shapes and lines is called painting.
