I asked him how he had 4 at lunch and he told me he had made some new 5 at the carnival, some young men who were twin brothers, and their mom and dad. They had 6 him a few dollars and invited him for lunch 7 for helping them set up their exhibit and wanted him to 8 the next day to help with other chores (杂务). I was glad he had found new friends but a little 9 about the type of people who might be traveling in a carnival. "Oh, Mom, these are just 10 everyday people like anyone else. They 11 work at a carnival instead of in a store or something". "Come down tomorrow and 12 them yourself," he said. So the next day I went to the carnival and to the exhibit he had 13 me to. The twin brothers 14 out to be Siamese (连体的) twins, joined at the chest. He hadn't thought this 15 was noteworthy enough to mention. When I brought it to him, he said, "yes, I 16 that too.

Today, Joe, the one on the right, made me spaghetti (意大利面条) for lunch." What others see first in a person is not what a child considers 19 . Where I saw Siamese twins, he saw people having difficulty buying clothes that fit, and young men who were good cooks. It was a 20 I have thought about many times over the years. | ||||

| On October 19, 1959, the first Special English program was broadcast on the Voice of America. It was an experiment. The goal was to communicate by radio in clear and simple English with people whose native language was not English. Experts said the goal was admirable (令人敬畏的),but the method would not work. They were proved wrong. The Special English programs quickly became some of the most popular on VOA. And they still are. Forty years later, Special English continues to communicate with people who are not fluent in English. But during the years its role has expanded. It also helps people learn American English. And it provides listeners, even those who are native English speakers, with information they cannot find elsewhere. Today, Special English broadcasts around the world seven days a week, five times a day. Each half-hour broadcast begins with 10 minutes of the latest news followed by 20 minutes of feature programming. There is a different short feature every weekday about science, development, agriculture and environment, and on the weekend, about news events and American idioms. Three elements make Special English unique. It has a limited vocabulary of 1,500 words. Most are simple words that describe objects, actions or emotions. Special English is written in short, simple sentences that contain only one idea. And Special English is spoken at a slower pace, about two-thirds the speed of Standard English. This helps people learning English hear each word clearly. It also helps people who are English speakers understand complex subjects. Through the years, Special English has become a very popular tool for teaching English, even though it was not designed as a teaching program. It succeeds in helping people learn English in a non-traditional way. In countries around the world, English teachers assign Special English to their students. They praise it for improving their students' ability to understand American English and for the content of the programs. Universities and private companies in many countries produce packages of Special English materials for students' use. |

|
[ ] |

|
[ ] |

|
[ ] |
| A. a, b, e B. a, c, d C. a, b, d D. b, d, e |
| 4. Which of the following statements is TRUE? |

|
[ ] |

| On August 15th, in the women's individual all-around final of gymnastics of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, Chusovitina is a shining star although she failed to win a medal eventually. When 33-year-old Oxana Chusovitina competes in her fifth Olympics (Beijing Olympics), she is twice the age of most of her competitors. In addition, she has also competed in ten World Championships, three Asian Games and three Goodwill Games. Chusovitina holds the record for the most individual World Championships medals on a single event. She won an Olympic team gold medal as a 17-year-old in 1992. Since then she has won a record of eight world titles. Her long career owes something to fate. In 2002, when her son Alisher, now aged nine, was diagnosed with leukemia (白血病), she moved to Germany so that he could get the best possible treatment. To help in those difficult times she kept up her training. It has paid off. But saving Alisher's life is not her only motivation. As she recently told German media, "There is nothing in the world I enjoy more than gymnastics." Chusovitina was born on June 19, 1975 in Uzbek USSR. She was formerly a citizen of, and a competitor for, the former Soviet Union (before 1993) and Uzbekistan (1993-2006). She has competed for Germany since 2006. By the year of 2008, Chusovitina's career in gymnastics had been twenty years. She is one of only a handful of women to return to high-level gymnastics and international competition after becoming a mother. Chusovitina is remarkable in her ability to remain competitive for so many years, often in the face of great difficulty, and has been considered as a role model and an inspiration by many people in the gymnastics community. |

| A small piece of fish each day may keep the heart doctor away. That's the finding of an extensive study of Dutch men in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed (吃) at least an ounce of salt water fish per day than those who never ate fish. The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific backing to the long-held belief that eating fish can provide health benefits, particularly to the heart. Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States, with more than 550, 000 deaths occurring from heart attacks each year. But researchers previously have noticed that the incidence (发生率) of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do. There are fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who consume about 14 ounces of fish a day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consumption averages more than 3 ounces. During the last two decades, 78% of the men died from heart disease. The fewest deaths were among the group who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese or Eskimos. This relationship was true regardless of other factors such as age, high blood pressure, or blood cholesterol (胆固醇) levels. |
| 1. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? |
|
[ ] |
| A. The Dutch research has proved that eating fish can help to prevent heart disease. B. There is a low incidence of heart disease in countries like Japan and Greenland. C. Among all the diseases heart disease is the most dangerous in America. D. Heart doctors won't call your house so long as you keep eating fish each day. |
| 2. The underlined phrase "this relationship" refers to the connection between _____ and the incidence of heart disease. |
|
[ ] |
| A. the amount of fish eaten B. regular fish-eating C. the kind of fish eaten D. people of different regions |
| 3. The passage is mainly about _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. the high incidence of heart disease in some countries B. the changes in people's diet in the United States C. the daily fish consumption of people in different cultures D. the effect of fish-eating regularly on people's health |
| 4. Why is heart disease the most dangerous killer in the United States? |
|
[ ] |
| A. The author doesn't give a definite answer. B. Because American people drink too much spirits. C. Because there are a great number of fat people there. D. Because American people eat too much fatty fish. |
| 5. How many lives could probably be saved each year in the United States by eating fish according to the Dutch study? |
|
[ ] |
| A. 550, 000. B. 110,000. C. 275,000. D. 852. |

| The United States has about 475,000 school buses-all painted yellow. Each day they carry more than 25,000,000 children, half of all schoolchildren in the country. But these buses, on average, use four liters of diesel (柴油) fuel to travel less than sixteen kilometers. When the school year began last fall, diesel averaged 55 cents a liter nationally. The price nearly doubled, to a dollar and 8 cents, by the end of school in June. Bob Riley speaks for the American School Bus Council. He says fuel prices for schools are not much lower than others have to pay. As a result, schools are looking for ways to reduce transportation costs. Bus routes are being redrawn or, in some cases, canceled (取消). Some areas are buying buses that use natural gas or other alternative fuels. Other steps include fewer field trips and less travel by sports teams. And some school districts (地区) may end any bus service not required by law. Studies show that school buses are the safest form of transportation to and from school. The American School Bus Council says cuts in bus service are bad for children and possibly the environment. It says removing buses from the road will mean an increase in other vehicles transporting students. Spokesman Bob Riley says another concern is that reducing bus services might reduce attendance. But it could also get more children to walk or bicycle to school. And that would surely make people happy at the National Center for Safe Routes to School. More kids walking or biking safely to school is the aim of a three-year-old federal program, part of an international movement. The goal is to increase physical activity and reduce air pollution. The United States will celebrate Walk to School Day on October eighth this year. But for some students, high fuel prices could make every day a walk-to-school day. |
| 1. What does this passage mainly tell us? |
|
[ ] |
| A. High fuel prices' influences on school buses. B. New measures to transport school students. C. The safest form of student transportation. D. The origin of Walk to School Day. |
| 2. Which of the following information is implied in the first paragraph? |
|
[ ] |
| A. There are too many school buses in the United States. B. There are too many students in the US. C. Diesel prices are going up too rapidly in the US. D. School buses consume too much diesel in the US. |
| 3. What can we learn from Paragraph 3? |
|
[ ] |
| A. Cuts in bus service will have negative results. B. The US government is encouraging cuts in bus services. C. The US schools are searching for the safest transportation means. D. Reducing bus service will do a lot of good to the environment. |
| 4. In order to cut down transportation cost, many schools take the following measures EXCEPT _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. changing some bus routes B. stopping some bus routes C. asking parents to drive children to and from school D. using other types of fuels |
| 5. The National Center for Safe Routes to School encourages more children to walk or bike to school in order to _____. |
|
[ ] |
| A. save more fuels and diesel for the country B. keep the children safe on their way to school C. make the children live a simple life D. keep the children healthy and the environment clean |

| [1] If you are a recent social science graduate who has had to listen to jokes about unemployment from your computer major classmates, you may have the last laugh. There are many advantages for the social science major because this high-tech "Information Age" demands people who are flexible (灵活的) and who have good ______. [2] There are many social science majors in large companies who take up important positions. For example, a number of research studies found that social science majors have achieved greater managerial success than those who had technical training or pre-professional courses. Studies show that social science majors are most suited to change, which is the leading feature of the high speed, high-pressure, high-tech world we now live in. [3] Social science majors are not only experiencing success in their long-term company jobs, but they are also finding jobs more easily. A study showed that many companies had filled a large percentage of their entry- level positions with social science graduates. The study also showed that the most sought-after (广受欢迎的) quality in a person who was looking for a job was communication skills, noted as "very important" by 92 percent of the companies. Social science majors have these skills, often without knowing how important they are. It is probably due to these skills that they have been offered a wide variety of positions. [4] Finally, although some social science majors may still find it more difficult than their technically trained classmates to land the first job, recent graduates report that they don't regret their choice of study. |
