Among the topics we discuss in our class is the _42
23、_ of quality employees.“What has _43_ you to stay long enough to become a manager?” I asked. After a while a new manager named Cynthia took the question and said slowly, “It was a baseball glove.”Cynthia said she used to take a Circle K clerk job as an interim(临时的) one while looked for something bet
24、ter. On her second day behind the counter, she received a call from her nine-year-old son, Jessie. He needed a baseball glove for the little League. She _44_ that as a single mother, money was not easy to _45_, and her first check would have to go for paying _46_.When Cynthia arrived for work the ne
25、xt morning, Partricia, the store manager, asked her to come to her small office and handed her a box. “I overheard you talking to your son yesterday,” she said, “and I know that it was hard to _47_ this to a kid. This is a baseball glove for Jessie. I know that you have to pay bills before you can b
26、uy gloves. You know that we cant pay good people like you as much as we would like to; but we do care and I want you to know how important you are to us.”The _48_ and love of the store manager show _49_ that people remember more how much a manager cares than how much he pays.III. Reading Comprehensi
27、on (36)Section A(共15小题,每小题1分,满分15分)Directions: For each blank in the following passages there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.People do not analyze(分析) every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solu
28、tion from the last time they had a _50_ problem. They often accept the opinion or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without _51_; they try to find a solution by trial and error. _52_, when all of these methods _53_, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six _
29、54_ in analyzing a problem.First, the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sams bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must _55_ that there is a problem with his bicycle. Next the person must see the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle
30、, he must know why it does not work. For example, he must _56_ the parts that are wrong. Now the person must look for _57_ that will make the problem clearer and lead to _58_ solutions. For example, suppose Sam _59_ that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes. At thi
31、s time, he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes, talk to his friends at the bike shop, or look at his brakes carefully. After studying the problem, the person should have _60_ suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an example again, his suggestions might be: tighten or
32、 loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change the old ones.In the end, one _61_ seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the final idea comes quite unexpectedly because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a different way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees there is a
33、piece of chewing gum stuck to a brake. He _62_ hits on the solution to his problem: he must _63_ the brake.Finally the solution is _64_. Sam does it and finds his bicycle works perfectly. In short he has solved the problem.50. a. seriousb. usualc. similard. common51. a. practiceb. thinkingc. underst

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.ANot all me
37、mories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars(伤疤). Often they relive(在想像中再体验)these experiences.Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which
38、help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals tha
39、t fix memories in the brain. So far, the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it. Supporters say it could lead to pills t
40、hat prevent or treat soldiers troubling memories after wars.They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories. “Some memories can ruin peoples lives. They come back to you when you dont want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions,” s
41、aid Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry(精神病学)at Harvard Medical School,“This could relieve a lot of that suffering.”But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. They also help us avoid the mistakes in the past. “All of
42、 us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I am not sure whether wed want to wipe those memories out.” said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.65. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to “_”.a. the new drug b. the research into the drug
43、c. the bad memory d. the chemical in the drug66.Which of the following is NOT the opinion of the opponents(反对者)?a. Our memories give us our identity. b. The memories help human avoid mistakes of the past.c. The drug should be used in only very serious cases.d. People may not be sure whether they wan
44、t to wipe the memories out.67. Whats the main idea of this passage?a. People often suffer from bad memories. b. American researchers have developed a pill.c. Forget bad memories, and be happy. d. Developing pills for helping forget bad memories has caused a heated argument. BMilan, the second larges
45、t city of Italy, has won an undesirable world record. Of the 54 big cities studied by the World Health Organization and the United Nations, Milan was thought of to have the worst air pollution.According to these two 10-year studies, the level of air pollution in Milan is twice as high as the levels
46、in Paris and Beijing and three times those in Tokyo and London, and four times that in New York.The reason for Milans bad pollution, according to scientists, is that the city lies in a valley that stops the poisonous gases.Though Milan has taken some measures to lower the level of pollution, the sit
47、uation is still worrying. People joke to each other, “If youre traveling to Milan, be sure to bring your gas mask.”68. Why is the air pollution in Milan so serious?a. Because the city lies in a place where it is difficult for polluted air to move away.b. Because too many cars are being driven in the
48、 city.c. Because there are some mountains in the city.d. Because Milan has taken some worrying measures.69. The level of air pollution in London is higher than that in _ and lower than that in _.a. New York, Beijingb. Milan, Parisc. New York, Tokyod. Beijing, Milan70. According to the passage which
49、of the following is true?a. Milan has taken no measure so far to lower the level of pollution.b. Milan has taken every step to cut down the air pollution.c. Milan has taken measures and the air pollution is being cut down.d. Milan has taken some measures, but the air pollution is still troublesome.7
50、1. In this passage there is NO answer to the question:_.a. Whats the reason for the air pollution in Milan?b. What are the measures taken by Milan to cut down air pollution?c. Which citys air is thought of to be worst polluted?d. Who said that the air in Milan was badly pollution? CSteven Spielberg
51、is a household name. He is a person who has entertained the world with stories of all kinds, a person whos made us cry with the tale of an alien who just wanted to go home, whos scared us with sharks and dinosaurs, and who brought us the horrors of World War II in Schindlers List.Spielberg developed
52、 an interest in movies at an early age. At 12, he started his attempt to make his own short films. At age 16, Spielberg made his first film, Firelight, which earned back its whole budget in one night US$500. Spielberg got poor grades in high school and wasnt accepted to any film schools. But one of
53、his short films called Amblin won awards at Venice and Atlanta film festivals. It also caught attention of the head of Universals TV division. He signed Spielberg to a seven-year contract. At 20, Spielberg was the youngest director ever to get such a deal.In 1974, Spielberg made Sugarland Express, b
54、ut to the producers surprise, the film performed poorly at the box office. 1975 was a different story, however. Spielberg was chosen to direct Jaws. “Parts of the book terrorized me. I tried to translate my fear into visual language.” He succeeded. It was a great hit. Spielberg continued his string
55、of hits in 1981 with Raiders of the Lost Ark. The film earned Spielberg his first Oscar nomination for best director. Films two and three in the series also thrilled audiences. A fourth is now scheduled for release in 2005. In 1985, Spielberg challenged himself to make a more serious film. The Color
56、 Purple was the result. The film earned 11 Academy Award nominations, but didnt win a single award. Finally, in 1993 Spielbergs heartbreaking film Schindlers List earned him an Academy Award for best director.In 2002, Spielberg received another honor that he treasures highly a college diploma. But h
57、e hopes his children wont take 33 years to finish their degrees!Spielberg continues to make films. Not all are box office hits, but each tells a story as only Spielberg can. Spielberg ranks as the most successful director ever. Other directors may try to catch himif they can. 72. Please rearrange th
58、e following events according to the time sequence.A. Spielberg finished his college education.B. Spielberg made the Color Purple.C. Spielberg won his first Oscar nomination.D.

There are other directors thinking they can surpass Spielberg sooner or later.c. Other directions are not lik
63、ely to get close to Spielberg.d. Spielberg is considered so talented and unique that no other director can surpass him.Section C (5)Directions: Read the following passage and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.A. Value of ra
64、re skillsB. Dangerous jobs paid moreC. Social demand decides rewardD. Developing skillsE. Womens skills rewardedF. Reason for taking low-paying jobs77. The rewards of a skill that is in strictly limited supply depend upon the demand for that skill. Mens professional basketball is extremely popular,
65、and the top NBA players make millions of dollars per year. There are some great women basketball players, too, but because womens professional basketball has not become popular, these womens skills go comparatively unrewarded.78.Some people with very rare skills can make enormous salaries in a free
66、market economy. Paula Abdel has a voice that millions of people are willing to pay to hear in person, and on tapes, CDs, records, and videos. Before Pablo Picasso died, he could sell small sketches for vast sums of money. Were they worth it? They were worth exactly what the highest bidder (出价人) was
67、willing to pay.79. Not all skills are inborn, however. Some people have invested in training and schooling to improve their knowledge and skills. When we go to school, we are investing in human capital that we expect to yield dividends, partly in the form of higher wages, later on. Human capital is
68、also produced through on-the-job training.80. Some jobs are more desirable than others. Entry-level positions in attractive industries such as publishing and television tend to be low-paying. Since talented people are willing to take entry-level jobs in these industries at salaries below what they c
69、ould earn in other occupations, there must be other, non-wage rewards. It may be that the job itself is more personally rewarding, or that a low-paying apprenticeship is the only way to acquire the human capital necessary to advance.81. On the other hand, compensating differentials are required when
70、 an occupation is very dangerous. Workers on skyscrapers and bridges command additional wages. Fire fighters in cities that have many old, run-down buildings are usually paid more than those in relatively tranquil rural or suburban areas.Section D (共4小题,每小题1分,满分4分)Directions: Read the passage carefu
71、lly. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 10 WORDS Kids who live in cold places have always enjoyed making snowballs and having snowball fights. Could snowball fighting become an Olympic sports? Probably not anythime soon but the sport is growing. The rules have recen
72、tly been made, and people are starting to think of having snowball fighting as a team sport. In this sport, players throw snowballs at players on the other team and try to get their flag, which is on their side of the field. Snowball fighting sport is becoming very popular among kids. When the seaso
73、n turns to winter, matches are held all over Japan. In a city of Hokkaido(北海道), one member of the team, Hattori Yosuke, who is in the sixth grade, explains, “In the winter in Hokkaido, its cold and there is a lot of snow, so we cant play baseball. Snowball fighting is fun, because it gives us anothe
74、r way to run around outside.” Another member says, “Its very exciting when you catch the flag of the other team.” A snowball-fighting field is 36 meters wide and 10 meters long. Each team has for forwards(前锋) and three backs who throw snowballs at the players on the other team. The players carry and
75、 make snowballs behind 90-centimeter-high walls made of snow in different places around the filed. While trying to protect themselves from their competing players snowballs, they need to run quickly into the other teams place and try to get the flag. Players who are hit by snowballs are out of the g
76、ame, and must leave the field. If all the players on one team get out, they lose the game. The International Snowball Fighting Championship(冠军赛) games include 190 teams from all over Japan and overseas. The sport has already been played in other coutries. If snowball fighting becomes more and more p
77、opular, its possible that one day it just might really become an Olympic sport.1. How many players are there on each team during a snowball fighting match?2. When should the players leave the game?3. How do kids like the snowball fighting?4.
