AAll you need to participate in home exchange is a house! You dont need to compare values of the houses or search for a swapping (交换) partner in the ca
16、se of a home similar to yours. It just requires identifying a home where you and your family can stay comfortably in the place you wish to visit. You need to search for a person or a family with whom you would be comfortable exchanging your home with，for a short period of time. In home exchange，you
17、would be taking care of other peoples home，as well as enjoying the country while they would be doing the same from your home. People who have traveled a lot would know that the most expensive part of traveling is paying hotel bills. In many cases，vacations cannot last for long mainly because of the
18、high accommodation (住房) expenses. Holiday home exchange is one of the most simple and intelligent ways to cut down an accommodation expenses. It is an equal trade for both the families and enables both to enjoy the advantages of a home while traveling to another country. Home exchanges have become v
19、ery popular in major cities in the United Kingdom as it allows you to benefit from time-share. Mostly, people participating in home exchanges prefer to involve their friends or neighbors to entertain their visitors, by providing the home exchange visitors with information regarding the local sightse
20、eing attractions. Many families with children try to swap houses with families who have children of the similar age group. It saves time and energy that is often exhausted in carrying around a number of toys and equipment. The individual traveler often finds house swapping a great way of relaxing in
21、 the comforts of a home after a tiring day of sightseeing and can spend more time to get to know the area better. 36. The most suitable title for the passage is A. Home Exchange for Your Holiday B. How to Find the Best House C. Everyone Loves Exchanging Homes D. Tips for Your Trip 37. lf you take pa
22、rt in home exchanges，you_.A. should find a home that is similar to yours B. should compare your partners home to yours C. should take care of other peoples home D. should prepare food for other families 38. Whats the main reason for people exchanging homes during the holiday? A. To experience other
23、peoples lifestyles. B. To get to know new neighbors and make new friends. C. To avoid paying expensive hotel bills while traveling D. To get more information from locals. 39. We can learn from the last paragraph that_.A. more families prefer to exchange homes than individual travelers B. families wi
24、th kids are more likely to exchange homes with families with kids C. it is difficult for individual travelers to find partners to exchange their homes D. the individual travelers love to introduce their friends and neighbors to the visitors BThe British psychoanalyst John Bowlby argues that separati
25、on from the parents during the sensitive “attachment” period from birth to three may scar a childs personality and be likely to cause emotional problems in later life. Some people have drawn the conclusion from Bowlbys work that children should not be made to experience day care before the age of th
26、ree because they have to be separated from their parents if they go to the day care center and many people do believe this. But there are also arguments against such a strong conclusion. Firstly, anthropologists(人类学家) point out that the separation between children and parents found in modern societi
27、es does not usually exist in traditional societies. For example, in some tribal(部落) societies, such as the Ngoni, the father and mother of a child did not raise their baby alone - far from it. Secondly, common sense tells us that day care would not be so widespread today if parents, care-takers foun
28、d their children had problems with it. Statistical studies of this kind have not yet been carried out, and even if they were, the results would be certain to be complicated and controversial. Thirdly, in the last decade there have been a number of careful American studies of children in day care, an
29、d they have all reported that day care had a neutral or slightly positive effect on childrens development. But tests that have had to be used to measure this development are not widely enough accepted to settle the argument. But Bowlbys analysis raises the possibility that early day care had delayed
30、 effects. The possibility that such day care might lead to, say, more mental illness or crime 15 to 20 years later can only be found out by the use of statistics. Whatever the long-term effects, parents sometimes find the immediate effects difficult to deal with. Children under three are likely to r
31、efuse to leave their parents and show unhappiness. At the age of three or three and a half almost all children find the changing from home to nursery (kindergarten) easy, and this is undoubtedly why more and more parents make use of day care at this time. The matter, then, is far from clear, though
32、experience and available evidence indicate that early day care is reasonable for babies.40.In which of the following statements does “scar” have the same meaning as the word “scar” in the first paragraph? A. Harry Potter is an ordinary boy with a scar on his forehead. B. The divorce of his parents s
33、carred the boy, which he couldnt get over for many years. C. The cut on his face scarred over very soon. D. After the students graduation, the school usually finds the tables scarred with their names.41.Which of the following can be inferred from Bowlbys work? A. Mothers should not send their childr
34、en to day care centers before the age of three. B. Day care nurseries have positive effects on a childs development C. A child sent to a day care centre before the age of three may have emotional problems in later life D. Day care would not be so popular if it has noticeable negative effects on a ch
35、ilds personality.42.It is suggested that modern societies differ from traditional societies in that _. A. The separation between parents and children happens more often in modern societies. B. A child more often grows up with his/her brothers or sisters in traditional societies. C. Mother brings up
36、children without the help of her husband in traditional societies D. Children in modern societies are more likely to develop mental illness in later years43.Which of the following best expresses the writers attitude towards early day care? A. Children under three should stay with their parents. B. E
37、arly day care has positive effects on childrens development C. There are two different opinions and its settlement calls for the use of statistics. D. The effects of early day care on children are exaggerated(夸大) and parents should ignore the problem.CIf it takes Kate twenty seconds to add 12 and 26
38、, while Terry can do the sum in a quarter the time on his pocket calculator, how much better grades will Terry get than Kate in the maths exam?Pocket calculators are as cheap to buy as a pair of shoes, and as essential to thousands of school children as a pencil and eraser. Schools have tried to lim
39、it their use, by allowing them in science lessons, to save time but by not allowing them to be used in maths classes. When children do their homework, a pocket calculator is a must. Nowadays in Britain, calculators can be used freely in school examinations, and already in many schools the only sound
40、 to be heard during a mathematics examination is the sound of children tapping out their answers.Many parents feel that their children are not being given a basic understanding of the facts of maths. “ The process of addition, division, subtraction and multiplication is part of a training in logic w
41、hich is important for every child. It teaches them to take series of steps necessary in coming to a conclusion,” says a local maths teacher. “ With a calculator, the child can reach the right answer, but have no idea at all how he got there.” Another teacher in the same school disagreed. “Of course
42、the children understand the principles(基本原理) behind what they do on the calculator. It makes no difference to the mental processes they go through, except to make them much faster, and less boring.” “Its far easier to teach them to completely understand the idea of division and multiplication by mak
43、ing them understand which button they need to push than to talk about apples being cut in pieces,” said another teacher, who uses calculators to keep the interest of his class.In any case, the pocket calculator is here to stay; its taking the stress out of mental labor in all sorts of ways.44.

The author stands for the opinion that _.A. students should be allowed to use pocket calculators freelyB. since the pocket calculator has been created, it should be made use ofC. pocket calculators shouldnt be used by students in maths classesD. Ter
47、ry should get grades four times better than KateD While waiting to pick up a friend at the airport in Portland, Oregon, I had an experience which occurred merely two feet away from me. Trying to locate my friend among the passengers coming through the jet way, I noticed a man walking toward me carry
48、ing two light bags. He stopped right next to me to greet his family. First he kissed his three children one by one and said, “Its nice to see you. I missed you so much!.” Then he hugged his wife，“Ive saved the best for last!” giving her the longest, most passionate kiss I ever remember seeing. They
49、stared at each others eyes, smiling at one another, while holding both hands. For an instant they reminded me of newlyweds, but I knew by the age of their kids that they couldnt possibly be. Full of admiration, I asked, “Wow! How long have you two been married?” “Being together for fourteen years to
50、tal，married twelve of those.” He replied, without breaking his gaze from his lovely wifes face. “Well，then，how long have you been away?” I asked. “Two whole days!” “Two days?” I was astonished. By the intensity(热烈) of the greeting, I had assumed hed been gone for at least several weeks一一if not month
51、s. I knew my expression betrayed me，so I turned away my eyes and said quietly, “I hope my marriage is still that passionate after so long!” The man suddenly stopped smiling and looked me straight in the eye. With forcefulness he told me something that left me a different person. “Dont hope, friend d
52、ecide!” Then he smiled again, shook my hand and said, “God bless!” With that，he and his family turned and walked away together. 1 was still watching that man and his special family walk just out of sight when my friend came up to me and asked, “What are you looking at?” Without hesitation, and with

Americans prefer to save the best for lastEWhen a consumer(消费者) finds that something he or she bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to what the producer say
57、s for it, the first step is to present the warranty（保单），or any other records that might help, at the store of buying. In most cases, this action will produce results. However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satisfaction.A simple and common method used by many co
58、nsumers is to complain（投诉）directly to the store manager. In general, the“higher up” the consumer takes his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumers favour taking it as true that he or she has a just right.Consumers sho
59、uld complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of buying, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly and especially when the consumer can show clearly what is wrong with what wa
60、s bought in question. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example, “The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear” is better than “Thi
61、s stereo（立体音响）does not work.”The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the producer, if so, the consumer should do this, stating the complaint as politely and as firmly as possible. But if a polite complaint does not achieve the expected result, the consumer can go a step further. He or
62、she can threaten(恐吓)to take the seller to court or report the seller to a public organization responsible for protecting consumers rights.51.

The most effective complaint about wha
64、t was bought can be made by .A. showing the fault of it to the producerB. saying firmly it is of poor qualityC. asking politely to change itD. explaining exactly what is wrong with it54.
