9、 每小题1.5分，满分15分）My most embarrassing moment occurred last month. I was invited to attend an interview 16 a job as a hotel receptionist. I arrived on time and was shown into the managers office by an assistant. I was so nervous 17 I didnt catch the managers name. The interview began. “Do you have any
10、previous experience in hotels?” asked the manager. “No sir,” I said. The manager frowned. “Are you good at using computers?” “Yes, sir. I am familiar 18 most popular kinds of software.” The manager frowned again. He didnt look a friendly person. The interview continued. Every answer I gave 19 (recei
11、ve) by a frown from the manager, even though I told him about my 20 (communicate) skills, my knowledge of French and so on. Obviously, I was doing very badly. At last, the interview came to a close. “One final question,” said the manager. “How good is 21 eyesight?” “Excellent, sir,” I replied. “Very
12、 well,” said the manager, “thank you for coming.” I stood up 22 (shake) hands. 23 the manager stood up as well, I realized what I had been doing wrong. The gentleman 24 I had been calling “sir” during the whole interview was wearing a skirt! The manager was a woman! I didnt get 25 job.II. 阅读（共两节，25题
13、，满分50分）第一节: 阅读理解 （共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）AThis is a subject that has long attracted psychologists and philosophers. Most of the time, people are not completely honest. We do things that society expects us to and say things that help us get what we want. But laughing cannot be controlled. When we laugh, w
14、e tell the truth about ourselves. By December 2001 over 10, 000 jokes had been submitted. This gave the scientists enough evidence to make early conclusions. It seems that men and women do have different senses of humour, for instance.“Our findings show the major differences in the ways in which mal
15、es and females use humour, ” said Dr. Wiseman. “Males use humour to appear superior to others, while women are more skilled in languages and prefer word play. ”Researchers also found that there really is such a thing as a national sense of humour. The British enjoy what is usually called “toilet hum
16、our”. But the French like their jokes short and sharp: “Youre a high priced lawyer. Will you answer two questions for $500?” “Yes. Whats the second question?”The Germans are famous for not having a sense of humour. But the survey found that German participants were more likely to find submitted joke
17、s funny than any other nationality. Perhaps that proves the point. Is this joke funny? I dont know, but lets say yes, just to be safe.Dr Wiseman and his workmates also submitted jokes created by computer. But none of those who took part in the survey found any of them amusing. Perhaps this is relief
18、. Computers already seem like they can do everything. At least they should leave the funny stuff to us.26. Scientist started “ the laugh lab” project_A. to find the funniest joke in European countriesB. to know what funny people are like from different nations and culturesC. to find out the differen
19、ces between the male and female sense of humourD. to get more personal details about participants29. The writer gave the examples of the British, the French and the Germans_.A. to show thane French people have a better sense of humourB. to prove the British people have a sense of “toilet humour”C. t
20、o show people from different nations have different senses of humourD. to prove that the Germans have no sense of humour30. What is the best title for the passage? A. Funny or not? B. Laugh louder! C. Men laugh better. D. Watch out for the trap in jokes!BTraditional fairytales are being abandoned by
21、 parents because they are too scary for their young children, a study found.Research revealed one in five parents has ditched old classics such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and Rapunzel in favour of more modern books. One third of parents said their children have been left in tears after hear
22、ing the horrible details of Little Red Riding Hood. And nearly half of mothers and fathers refuse to read Rumplestiltskin to their kids as the themes of the story are kidnapping and execution. Similarly, Goldilocks and the Three Bears was also a tale likely to be left on the book shelf as parents fe
23、lt it forgives stealing.The survey of 2,000 adults was conducted to mark the launch of the hit US drama GRIMM, which starts tonight at 9pm on Watch, and sees six episodes based on traditional fairytales. The poll found a quarter of parents polled wouldnt consider reading a fairytale to their child u
24、ntil they had reached the age of five, as they prompt too many awkward questions from their offspring. Steve Hornsey, General Manager ofWatch, said: “Bedtime stories are supposed to soothe children and send them off to sleep soundly. But as we see in GRIMM, fairytales can be dark and dramatic tales
25、so its understandable that parents worry about reading them to young children.”“As adults we can see the innocence in fairytales, but a five year old with an over active imagination could take things too seriously. Despite the dark nature of classic fairytales, as we see in GRIMM, good will triumph
26、over evil and there is always a moral to the story.”The study also found two thirds of mums and dads try to avoid stories which might give their children nightmares.However, half of parents said traditional tales are more likely to have a strong moral message than a lot of modern kids books, such as
27、 The Gruffalo, The Hungary Caterpillar and the Mr. Men books.31.Why dont some parents want to read Rumplestiltskin to their kids? A. Rumplestiltskin is too long B. Rumplestiltskin is too difficult C. Rumplestiltskin forgives stealing D. Rumplestiltskin may have bad influence on Children32.We can lea

Fairytales are not good for childrens sleep35.Whats the authors attitude towards traditional fairytales? A. Optimistic B. Not mentioned C. Casual D. DisapprovingC Teary
30、 Joe was a boy with a special ability: he could make himself cry in less than a second. If he disliked something, or things became difficult, Teary Joe would not hesitate to put on a pitiful face and set great big tears running down his cheeks. In this way he managed to get practically everything he
31、 wanted, because no one could resist the pity inspired by his tearful little face. But one day, Teary Joe met Pipo. Pipo was asking people in the street for some change, in return for him helping them in any way he could. Pipo was very poor; he had no home and no family, so he made a living however
32、he could. Even so, Pipo always had the biggest smiles on his face. Joe took to Pipo, so he decided to help him out in making some money. He went over next to Pipo, took off his hat, put it face-up on the ground, and started crying with the most pitiful of expressions. In a few minutes, Joes hat was
33、full of coins and sweets, but when Joe offered all this to Pipo, Pipo declined. “I prefer deserving what I receive,” answered Pipo with his usual smile, “Its much more fun making an effort to get things. Maybe I havent gotten everything Ive wanted, but Ive done a load of interesting things.” Teary J
34、oe didnt answer; he just walked sadly away. Joe had got everything he wanted, but hed done practically nothing of interest the whole day. That evening, having returned home, Joe requested a delicious cake for his supper. When his mother said no, Joe tried to cry but, remembering Pipo and how joyful
35、he was, he tried to get the cake in some other way. Joe spent the whole evening helping his mother to water the plants and organize the library books. In the end there was no cake. But that wasnt so bad, because Joe discovered it had been much more fun doing all those things that evening rather than
36、 just sitting crying to get a piece of cake that, in the end, wouldnt have been worth it.36. According to the passage, Teary Joe _.A. relied on others sympathy before B. was joyful in his lifeC. hated working hard D. was a naughty boy来源:Zxxk.Com37.

39、ort.C. have a biggest smile every day. D. help their mother every dayDThe first step in exercising for most people is determining whether or not they should. This is particularly true with anyone over thirty-five, especially if they have been heavy smokers. Likewise, young adults who have been very
40、inactive should proceed slowly and with caution. A physical evaluation（评价）from a physician is recommended, preferably one that includes an exercise-stress test. While a person is exercising, a stress test detects cardiovascular(心血管的) problems that might not show up when the body is at rest. This is
41、done by monitoring blood pressure, pulse rate, oxygen consumption, and the hearts electrical activity while exercising.Whatever exercise program is selected, it is important to start with warm-up periods. These should include stretching exercises, jumping jacks, or active walking. The idea is to inc
42、rease heart rate and circulation slowly without placing a sudden strain on the heart or the muscles that are starting to work.The next phase in developing an exercise program is to determine the amount of exercise that is enough to condition the muscles and cardiovascular system without excessively
43、exhausting the body. This involves taking ones pulse and finding ones target zone. This target zone, or safe-training pulse rate, is established by subtracting ones age from 220 and then taking 60 percent to 80 percent of that total. If you are just starting to exercise, 60 percent is recommended; 8
44、0 percent is recommended if you are already in good condition.41.
