         People do not analyse every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last
    time they had a   1   problem. They often accept the opinion or ideas of other people. Other times they begin
    to act without   2  ; they try to find a solution by trial and error. However, when all of these methods   3  ,
    the person with a problem has to start analysing. There are six   4   in analysing a problem.   5  , the person
    must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam's bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class
    as he usually does. Sam must   6   that there is a problem with his bicycle.
         Next the person must   7   the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know why it does not
    work. For example, he must   8   the parts that are wrong.
         Now the person must look for   9   that will make the problem clearer and lead to  10  solutions. For
    example, suppose Sam  11  that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes. 
     12 , 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  13  the problem, the person should have several suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an
    example  14 , his suggestions might be: tighten or loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change the old ones.
         In the end, one  15  seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the  16  idea comes quite  17  
    because the thinker suddenly sees something in a  18  way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees there is a piece
    of chewing gum stuck to a brake. He immediately hits on the solution to his problem: he must  19  the brake.
         Finally the solution is  20 . Sam does it and finds his bicycle works perfectly. In short he has solved the
    problem.

         For many people, the name Baskin-Robbins is linked to sweet memories of eating ice cream. Irvine
    Robbins, who helped create this famous company, died in May at the age of ninety. His life's work of making
    fun and exciting ice cream flavors changed the way Americans enjoy this food. Irvine Robbins opened his first
    ice cream store in 1945 in California. At the time, there were no stores that sold only ice cream. His sister's
    husband, Burton Baskin, also opened his own ice cream stores. In 1948 they combined their six stores into one
    business. Baskin and Robbins realized that they were too busy to operate each store well. So, they decided to
    sell part of each operation to the manager of that store. This permitted the company to grow quickly. By 1953,
    they renamed their company Baskin-Robbins. They advertised that they sold 31 kinds of ice cream to show the
    many choices buyers had. There was one flavor for every day of the month. Robbins and Baskin sold "Lunar
    Cheesecake" the day after astronauts landed on the moon in 1969.Other flavors included "ChaChaCha", for
    cherry chocolate chip, and Robbins' personal favorite "Jamoca Almond Fudge". They said:"We sell fun, not just
    ice cream." By 1967, there were 500 Baskin-Robbins stores in the United States. The business partners sold
    their company that year. Today, there are more than 5,800 Baskin-Robbins stores around the world.

         Sitting by her Pinocchio lamp, she smiled at me as her tiny hands' shadow danced on the bedroom wall.
    "A rabbit!" she laughed with all the delight of a four-year old. Her blue eyes shone with pride as she showed
    me the animated image she had created. "Daddy, will you show me how to make a tiger?" she asked. "Sure,"
    I said, "and then we'll read a story and tell your angels goodnight."To my youngest daughter, that meant her
    bedtime prayer.
         Today my daughter is seven, and I no longer get to read the story. She reads it to me, complete with
    expressive accents for the story characters. To say I'm proud of our relationship would be an understatement.
    We have shared days of joy as well as tragedy. Our time together has strengthened the relationship of love
    and special "life stuff" that is all our own.
         I am richer for having planted the spirit of trust in this gentle little person; we have grown together spiritually,
    learning much from each other. The special times we spend together, like nights by a Pinocchio lamp, create
    memories that we will treasure for the rest of our lives. So it is with all of our relationships. The trust factor
    is vital for relationships to develop. Think of one of your fondest memories, and you will no doubt find a
    remarkable relationship at its center-one with a spiritual quality that shines outward from the heart. Time
    together, caring acts, and unconditional love build trust. I suggest that we each spend plenty of time with our
    personal "Pinoechio lamps"-those special ways that we choose to strengthen our relationships.
         Relationships take time to develop and maintain. It is not always easy, but the results are priceless. "Nights
    by a Pinoechio lamp", wherever those might be for you, will create enduring relationships of golden "life stuff",
    spiritual gifts that no one can take away.
    1. The underlined words in the second paragraph refer to all EXCEPT _____.
    A. hands' shadow dancing on the wall
    B. reading bed stories
    C. sharing each other's tragedy
    D. praying to the angels for goodnight
    2. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
    A. The author thinks the relationship with his daughter is so simple that he can't describe with plenty of words.
    B. If you take time to attempt to build relationship, you will find it easy to get the satisfactory results.
    C. Plant the spirit of trust into others and you will create valuable memories for each other.
    D. It's not worth spending time developing relationship if you meet the failure at last.
    3. Why does the author write the passage?
    A. To recall his fondest memories.
    B. To stress the importance of trust in building relationships.
    C. To explain how to create valuable memories.
    D. To tell the readers how to educate children.
    4. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?
    A. Life Stuff of Your Own
    B. Nights by a Pinocchio Lamp
    C. Unconditional gifts-Love
    D. A spiritual quality shining outward from the heart

         Housing price in China has always caused heated discussions among property (房产) developers and
    ordinary Chinese. To many property developers and local government officials, housing price in China is
    still low compared with many developed countries. However, the average housing price in the United States
    is only 8,000 yuan per square meter, while in China, it is even higher than in the United States. This shows
    that there are some bubbles(泡沫) in Chinese real estate market, the International Finance News reported.
         Although the average price of residential houses in the United States, after converted to Renminbi, is
    about 8,000 yuan per square meter, the houses in US are not sold in terms of building area, as most Chinese
    property developers do when they sell their houses. If US property developers sell their houses according to
    the building area, then the housing price will be even lower than 8,000 yuan per square meter. In most big
    Chinese cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen, houses are sold at a price even higher than those in
    the US.
         The high housing sales price in large cities in China proves that Chinese real estate market does have some
    bubbles. Moreover, Chinese houses can not be compared with houses in US in terms of building quality,
    environment and supporting facilities. Furthermore, it should be noted that American people's average income
    is several dozen times higher than that of Chinese people. How can the Chinese afford to buy a house which
    is even more expensive than that sold in US?
         At the beginning of 2007, Chinese government issued a set of policies that aimed to benefit the public. Now
    in order to reduce the high housing prices, the government can regulate (控制) the real estate market by
    raising tax on property industry and controlling the release of loans and lands to property developers. At the
    same time, the government should allow people to build more houses through various fund-raising channels,
    such as funds collected from buyers or raised by working units. By applying these multiple means, it is
    expected that the high housing prices can be lowered.
    1. What is the average housing price per square meter in China?
    A. 8000 yuan
    B. 10000 yuan
    C. 7000 yuan
    D. It's not mentioned here
    2. Which of the following does NOT support the idea that the average housing price in China is even higher
        than in the United States?
    A. Chinese houses can not be compared with houses in US in terms of building quality, environment and
         supporting facilities.
    B. American people's average income is several dozen times higher than that of Chinese people.
    C. The houses in US are not sold in terms of building area, as most Chinese property developers do when they
         sell their houses.
    D. There are more people who need houses in China is larger than that in the United States.
    3. How many measures are mentioned in the last paragraph in order to reduce the high housing prices?
    A. Four
    B. Three
    C. Two
    D. One
    4. What is the main idea of this passage?
    A. The housing price in China is so high that the government should do something useful to prevent it.
    B. There are some bubbles in Chinese real estate market.
    C. The average housing price in China is even higher than in the United States.
    D. Chinese government issued a set of policies that aimed to benefit the public.

         Primary teachers are responsible for guiding children through the formation of many important life skills,
    and also watching over their students' social development. Primary teachers come into contact with about
    30 students every day, and teach them a variety of subjects. Many hours are spent before and after class on
    planning, preparation and correction. One should be a very patient, caring, yet firm person to be able to deal
    with the demands of children in the four to twelve-year-old age group. Secondary teachers teach specific
    subjects to various groups of students.
         Just like primary teachers, they spend an amount of time planning and preparing lessons and correcting
    homework-their duties are not restricted to face-to-face teaching. Dealing with twelve to eighteen-year-olds
    requires a wide range of skills. If you become a primary teacher, you will need to decide whether to be a
    "generalist" (多面手), teaching a wide range of subjects, or a "specialist", teaching only one or two. Most
    primary teachers are specialists. Generalist teachers spend the greatest part of their day with one class, which
    means that they spend more time with the same children. Specialist teachers have more time away from their
    students. It is therefore very important for generalist teachers to develop a strong working relationship with
    their students. The unique rapport (和谐) you can develop with a particular set of students is one of teaching's
    greatest pleasures. However, the disadvantage of primary teaching is that if you have a difficult student, you
    will be forced to deal with him or her, all day, every day, throughout the school year. Teachers need to work
    out strategies to get themselves and their students through such difficulties.
         Primary teachers today are generally four-year trained. They usually do a three or four-year undergraduate
    degree, and if this degree does not include teacher training, they will have to undertake postgraduate study in
    education as well.
    1. After class primary teachers usually _____.
    A. come into contact with students
    B. teach students a variety of subjects
    C. deal with the demands of children
    D. make planning, preparation and correction
    2. What does the second paragraph mainly discuss?
    A. What a primary teacher needs to do in the classroom.
    B. The differences between generalist and specialist teaching.
    C. How a primary teacher should try his best in the school.
    D. The relationship between the primary teachers and students.
    3. We can learn from this passage that _____.
    A. a primary teacher needs a wide range of skills
    B. the disadvantage of primary teaching is having difficult students
    C. teacher training is not important for a primary teacher
    D. secondary teachers mainly teach children two subjects
    4. The author writes the article in order to _____.
    A. tell teachers how primary teachers guide students
    B. tell teachers what you should do as a primary teacher
    C. let readers know more about primary teachers
    D. let readers know how to be a primary teacher

         BEIJING-China will further open its financial sector in "an active and safe" way, the country's central
    bank vowed on Friday.
         "China will gradually broaden the chance for the participation of foreign capital in the domestic financial
    market," said the People's Bank of China in a report. "We will strengthen the connections between China's
    financial market and international ones by attracting more foreign capital in Renminbi-denominated financial
    products," the report said. Meanwhile, channels will also be expanded to allow Chinese investment in foreign
    financial markets. The bank said it would ease restrictions on enterprises and individuals possessing and
    using foreign currencies and increase the number of qualified foreign institutional investors and the value of
    their investment quotas (份额). "We will make use of the financial market to achieve balanced international
    payments," said the bank.
         Last year, the State Administration of Foreign Exchange (SAFE) raised the annual quota for individuals
    buying foreign currency from US $ 20,000 to US $ 50,000.
         "China will work hard for a more efficient and vigorous financial market that can better serve international
    needs," the bank said. The country will adjust its financial market rules so they are accepted around the world,
    encourage reforms and promote more flexible, diversified ways of trading, according to the bank. China fully
    opened its financial market to foreign capital on December 11 last year, ending a five-year transitional (过渡
    的) period after entering WTO.
