2、ything was rising.The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years.Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift$7，000，a legacy(遗产)from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch，who died in an accident.“It really made a difference when we were going und
3、er financially，”says Dave.But the Fusses werent the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive unexpected legacy from the Hatches.Dozens of other families were touched by the Hatches generosity.In some cases，it was a few thousand dollars；in others，it was more than $100，000.It s
4、urprised nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money，more than$3 millionthey were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm.Children of the Great Depression，Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of saving.They thrived on(喜欢)comparison shopping and wou

6、ings they could do to make you happier，and they would do them.”Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches had their farmland distributed.It was the Hatches wish that their legacya legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and centsshould enrich the whole community (社区)and last for generations t
7、o come.Neighbors helping neighborsthat was Ish and Arlene Hatchs story.1.According to the text，the Fusses _.A.were employed by a truck companyB.were in financial difficultyC.worked in a school cafeteriaD.lost their home答案B细节理解题。从第一段前三句话可以看出，Fuss夫妇现在正处于经济困境中，所以B为正确答案。A、C项与文中有关细节不符，D项在文中没有信息支持。2.Which
8、 of the following is TRUE of the Hatches?A.They had their children during the Great Depression.B.They left the family farm to live in an old house.C.They gave away their possessions to their neighbors.D.They helped their neighbors to find jobs.答案C细节理解题。第四段第一句话说Hatch夫妇是在大萧条时期出生的，而不是他们在大萧条时期有了孩子，排除A；第
9、三段提到他们的老房子位于他们家的农场里，B错误；第二段提到他们帮助有困难的邻居们，但并未提及帮他们找工作，D错误。C项说他们把自己的财产损赠给邻居，符合文意，故答案为C。3.Why would the Hatches routinely go from store to store?A.They decided to open a store.B.They wanted to save money.C.They couldnt afford expensive things.D.They wanted to buy gifts for local kids.答案B推理判断题。第四段提到他们有节
10、约的习惯，买东西之前喜欢一个商店一个商店地比较价格，显然是为了省钱，故答案为B。4.What can we learn from the text?A.The community of Alto was poor.B.The summer camp was attractive to the parents.C.Sandy Van Weelden got a legacy from the Hatches.D.The Hatches would like the neighbors to follow their example.答案D推理判断题。A项错在这个地区很贫困，文章只是说这里有经济困
11、难的人，并不是说这里是一个贫困地区；B项错在parents上；C项说Sandy Van Weelden得到了Hatches夫妇的一份遗产，文章只是提到他对他们的评价，并未说他得到遗产之事；从文章倒数第二段第二句话以及最后一段可以看出，Hatches夫妇的愿望就是他们的遗产能够为社区以及子孙后代造福，邻里之间能够互相帮助，故答案为D。BWhen Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone in 1876，he could never have predicted what it would be able to do in the future.No
12、w，130 years later，its no surprise when someone takes out a cellphone to make a call while on the move.But phones are no longer just used to make calls.Japans 90 million cellphone owners also use their machines modern technology and tiny screens(half the size of a business card)to play video games，se
13、nd emails，read news，download music，store photos and surf the Internet.Since April，2006，theyve been able to use their cellphones to watch TV.Following several months of test broadcasts，digital(数码的)TV broadcasts for cellphones with special receivers began in Japans major cities.The special cellphones
14、are hard to find because only a small number were put on sale.The excitement surrounding mobile TV means that the limited number of handsets (耳机)quickly sold out.Misogo Kado，a 37yearold software designer from Yokohama，near Tokyo，bought one of the new cellphones earlier this month.He is a big fan of
15、the new technology.“You know how every cellphone now comes with a digital camera？In the same way，this is going to become a standard feature，”Kado said of the TV service.“Its not something you have to pay for.If youre buying a cellphone，you might as well get one with it.”While the service is new for
16、Japan，it is not the worlds first.South Korea and Britain have made TV available to their cellphone customers with the use of slightly different technology.The new service in Japan，however，is free.Not only that，it uses broadcasting airwaves(电视频道)instead of an Internet connection.The images are sent t
17、hrough the air by TV towers，not satellites.This terrestrial (陆地的)digital broadcast system means that more people will be able to use the service.Imagine what our phones will be able to do in another 130 years time!5.How much does the new service of a mobile phone to watch TV in Japan cost?A.Half as
18、much as the mobile phone costs.B.As much as the mobile phone costs.C.Slightly more than the mobile phone costs.D.It doesnt cost any money.答案D细节理解题。文章第五段末句The new service in Japan，however，is free.体现答案。6.What does the word “it” refer to in the sixth paragraph?A.The new service in Japan. B.Japan.C.Inte
19、rnet connection. D.A mobile phone.答案A词义猜测题。认真阅读分析该词所在句及前一句内容可知，这两句均介绍了日本、韩国和英国在手机可看电视这一新功能上的区别，可见it应指代日本手机可看电视这一新功能The new service in Japan。7.Through what are the TV images of a mobile in Britain sent?A.Air. B.Satellites.C.Broadcasting airwaves. D.The text doesnt tell us.答案B推理判断题。由原文第六段中“The images
20、are sent through the air by TV towers，not satellites.”可知，这是日本可看电视新款手机与英国可看电视新款手机的区别，可见英国可看电视新款手机是通过卫星传送图像的。8.What is the best title of the text?A.TV goes mobileB.Mobile will be more popularC.Mobile is on TVD.Mobile goes TV答案A主旨大意题。认真阅读分析文章不难发现，本文自始至终介绍日本推出可以看电视的手机新品种，因此以TV goes mobile为题既具有高度的概括性、强烈的

22、in or get a job offer.Only half true.The real aim of an interview is to obtain the job you want.That often means rejecting job offers you dont want! So before you do please an employer，be sure you want the job.Myth 2：Always please the interviewer.Not true.Try to please yourself.Of course，dont be hos
23、tile(敌对的)nobody wants to hire someone disagreeable.But there is plainly a middle ground between being too ingratiating(逢迎)and being unfriendly.Myth 3：Try to control the interview.Nobody “controls”an interview.When someone tries to control us，we resent(怨恨)it.When we try to control others，they resent
24、us.Remember you cant control what an employer thinks of you，just as he cant control what you think of him.So he ready to give and take when being interviewed；never control the interview.Myth 4：Never interrupt the interviewer.Study the style of an effective conversationalists：they interrupt and are i
25、nterrupted！An exciting conversation always makes us feel freefree to interrupt，to disagree，to agree enthusiastically (热情地).Just hang_loose.Try being yourself for a change.Employers will either like or dislike you，but at least youll have made an impression.Leaving an employer indifferent(冷淡)is the wo
26、rst impression you can make.9.For job seekers，efforts to control the interview are likely to _.A.affect the interviewers opinion of themB.lead to the offer of a jobC.enable them to express themselves fullyD.help to create a favorable image of themselves答案A根据Myth 3下面的内容，试图“控制”面试氛围的做法是徒劳的，注定要失败的。这样必然会
27、影响主考官对你的客观评价。10.The most important thing to keep in mind when being interviewed for a job is to _.A.try to obtain the jobB.reject the job firstC.qualify yourself for the jobD.see if it is a job you want答案 D根据Myth 1下面的内容得知。11.The phrase “hang loose” in the last paragraph means to _.A.stay calm and re
28、laxedB.become weak and passiveC.take chargeD.sit back comfortably答案A根据下一句“Try being yourself for a change”推断，这里强调面试时保持放松姿态的重要性。由此判断hang loose与A项意思最接近。DEverybody is happy as his pay rises. Yet pleasure at your own can disappear if you learn that a fellow worker has been given a bigger one. Indeed，if
29、he is known as being lazy，you might even be quite cross. Such behavior is regarded as “all too human”，with the underlying belief that other animals would not be able to have this finely developed sense of sadness. But a study by Sarah Brosnan of Emory University in Atlanta，Georgia，which has just bee
30、n published in Nature，suggests that it_is_all_too_monkey，as well.The researchers studied the behaviors of some kind of female brown monkeys. They look smart. They are goodnatured，cooperative creatures，and they share their food happily. Above all，like female human beings，they tend to pay much closer
31、attention to the value of “goods and services” than males.Such characteristics make them perfect subjects for Doctor Brosnans study. The researchers spent two years teaching their monkeys to exchange tokens(奖券)some rocks，for food. Normally，the monkeys were happy enough to exchange pieces of rock for
32、 pieces of cucumber. However，when two monkeys were placed in separate and connected rooms，so that each other could observe what the other is getting in return for its rock，they became quite different.In the world of monkeys，grapes are excellent goods(and much preferable to cucumbers).So when one mon
33、key was handed a grape in exchange for her token，the second was not willing to hand hers over for a mere piece of cucumber. And if one received a grape without having to provide her token in exchange at all，the other either shook her own token at the researcher，or refused to accept the cucumber. Ind
34、eed，the mere presence of a grape in the other room(without an actual monkey to eat it) was enough to bring about dissatisfaction in a female monkey.The researches suggest that these monkeys，like humans，are guided by social senses. In the wild，they are cooperative and group living. Such cooperation i
35、s likely to be firm only when each animal feels it is not being cheated. Feelings of anger when unfairly treated，it seems，are not the nature of human beings alone. Refusing a smaller reward completely makes these feelings clear to other animals of the group. However，whether such a sense of fairness
36、developed independently in monkeys and humans，or whether it comes from the common roots that they had 35 million years ago，is，as yet，an unanswered question.12.Female monkeys of this kind are chosen for the research most probably because they are_.A.more serious about what they getB.attentive to rese
37、archers instructionsC.nice in both appearance and behaviorsD.more ready to help others than their male companions答案A细节理解题。根据文章第二段中 “.like female human beings，they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of goods and services than males.”以及第三段第一句“Such characteristics make them perfect subjects
38、 for Doctor Brosnans study.”可知答案为A项。13.The underlined statement “it is all too monkey” means that_.A.monkeys are also angry with lazy fellowsB.feeling bitter at unfairness is also monkeys natureC.monkeys，like humans，tend to be envious of each otherD.no animals other than monkeys can develop such fee
39、lings答案B句意猜测题。根据文章第一段可知猴子和人一样，在受到不公平的对待时会感到非常难受，这也许是他们共同的自然本性，所以答案为B项。14.Which of the following conclusions is TRUE according to the passage?A.Human beings feelings of anger are developed from monkeys.B.In the research，male monkeys are less likely to exchange food with others.C.Cooperation between m
40、onkeys stays firm before the realization of being cheated.D.Only monkeys and humans have the sense of fairness dating from 35 million years ago.答案C细节理解题。根据文章最后一段中“Such cooperation is likely to be firm only when each animal feels it is not being cheated.”可知C项正确。A、B两项无信息依据；根据文章最后一段中“whether such a sen
41、se of fairness developed independently in monkeys and humans.an unanswered question.”判断D项错误。15.What can we learn about the monkeys in Sarahs study?A.They can be trained to develop social senses.B.They usually show their feelings openly as humans do.C.They may show their satisfaction with equal treat
42、ment.D.They feel angry when they receive small rewards.答案C推理判断题。结合文章第三段中“Normally，the monkeys were happy enough to exchange pieces of rock for pieces of cucumber.”可知猴类同样对公平感到满意，判断C项正确；根据文章最后一段中“.these monkeys，like humans，are guided by social senses.”可知猴类的这些社会意识并不需要人类培养，判断A项错误。D项比较片面，存在比较，故错误。第二节(共5小
