| 1. _____ With the development of society, unwanted sound is the most widespread nuisance (厌恶的事) in America. But noise is more than just a nuisance. It constitutes a real and present danger to people's health. Day and night, at home, at work, and at play, noise can produce serious physical and psychological stress. No one escapes being affected by this stress. Though we seem to adjust to noise by ignoring it, the ear, in fact, never closes and the body still responds-sometimes with extreme tension, as to a strange sound in the night. 2. _____ The annoyance we feel when faced with noise is the most common outward symptom of the stress building up inside us. Indeed, because irritability (易怒) is so obvious, legislators (立法人员) have made public annoyance the basis of many noise limit programs. But the more unnoticeable and more serious health hazards (harm and danger) associated with stress caused by noise traditionally have been given much less attention. 3. _____ Nevertheless, when we are annoyed or made irritable by noise, we should consider these symptoms fair warning that other things may be happening to us, some of which may be damaging to our health. Of many health hazards to noise, hearing loss is the most clearly observable and measurable by health professionals. The other hazards are harder to pin down (说清). For many of us, there may be a risk that exposure to the stress of noise increases susceptibility to disease and infection. The more susceptible among us may experience noise as a complicating factor in heart problems and other diseases. Noise that causes annoyance and irritability in health persons may have serious consequences for these already ill in mind or body. 4. _____ Noise affects us throughout our lives. For example, there are indications of effects on the unborn child when mothers are exposed to industrial and environmental noise. During infancy and childhood, youngsters exposed to high noise levels may have trouble falling asleep and obtaining necessary amounts of rest. 5. _____ Why, then, is there not greater alarm about these dangers? Perhaps it is because the link between noise and many disabilities or diseases has not yet been conclusively demonstrated. Perhaps it is because we tend to dismiss annoyance as a price to pay for living in the modern world. It may also be because we still think of hearing loss as only an occupational hazard. |
| A. Noise affects us from birth even embryo (胚胎) to death. B. Less attention to more unnoticeable and serious hazards in spite of the most common annoyance caused by noise. C. The reasons for there being no greater alarm about these dangers. D. Noise is more a real and present danger than a nuisance to people's health. E. How much do we know about annoyance caused by noise? F. How much do we know about the possible hazards to people's health caused by noise? |

| As is known to all that millions of graduates crowded into the job market each year. But because the financial crisis, the situation of the employment has become very serious. Consider this, some people suggest graduates should have a lower career expectation, such as working in the western area of China. I in favor of this idea. Firstly, compared with the big cities, the competition is not as fierce there, but graduates can easy get a job. Secondly, the lower position may offer graduate more space. All in all, going to the west maybe bring more benefits. Devote yourself to the west, for it is both good for our personal development and for our country at present. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ |

| Sometimes, something that is considered to be negative turns out to be an advantage on the job. Though he is only l8 years old and blind, Suleyman Gokyigit is among the top computer technicians and programmers at InteliData Technologies Corp., a large software company with several offices across the United States. "After our company united with another one last October, two different computer networks were driving us crazy," recalls Douglas Braun, the InteliData president. "We couldn't even send e-mail to each other." In three weeks Mr Gokyigit created the software needed to connect the two networks. "None of the company's 350 other employees could have done the job in three months," says Mr. Braun. "Suleyman can see into the heart of the computer." Mr. Gokyigfi's gift, as Mr. Braun calls it, is an unusual ability to form an idea of the inside of a machine. "The computer permits me to reach out into the world and do almost anything I want to do," says Mr. Gokyigit. The young programmer is at home with hardware as well, thanks partly to a highly developed sense of touch. Mitzi Nowakowski, an office manager at InteliData, remembers how he easily disconnected and reconnected their computer systems during a move last year. "Through feel, Suleyman can find the position of connectors, pins and wires much faster than most other people with sight," he says. Much of the student programmer's speed comes from his ability not to be interrupted while at the computer. When typing, he listens carefully to the synthesizer (合成器). His long, thin fingers fly over the keyboard. "Nothing seems to shake his attention," says Mrs. Nowakowski, his boss. Mr. Gokyigit is the only company employee who is available (可找到的) 24 hours a day. "We consider him our top problem solver." says Mr. Braun. |
| 1. According to Mr. Braun, Suleyman _____. |
| A. can work wonders on computer B. is the best technician in the world C. has done a hard job in three months D. has united InteliData Technologies Corp. with another computer company |

| A. is good at dealing with computer hardware B. is fond of computer hardware C. works with computer hardware at home D. feels comfortable when working with computer hardware |
| 3. Suleyman was quick while at the computer mostly because of _____. |
| A. his blindness B. his attention on the synthesizer C. his long, thin fingers D. his ability not to be interrupted |
| 4. Suleyman was quick while at the computer mostly because of _____. |

| I always felt sorry for the people in wheelchair. Some people, old and weak, can not get around by themselves. Others seem perfectly healthy, dressed in business suits. But whenever I saw someone in a wheelchair, I only saw a disability, not a person. Then I fainted at Euro Disney due to low blood pressure. This was the first time I had ever fainted, and my parents said that I must rest for a while after First aid. I agreed to take it easy but, as I stepped towards the door, I saw my dad pushing a wheelchair in my direction! Feeling the color burn my cheeks, I asked him to wheel that thing right back to where he found it. I could not believe this was happening to me. Wheelchairs were fine for other people but not for me, as my father wheeled me out into the main street, people immediately began to treat me differently. Little kids ran in front of me, forcing my father to stop the wheelchair suddenly. Bitterness set in as I was thrown back and forth. "Stupid kids-they have perfectly good legs. Why can't they watch where they are going?" I thought. People stared down at me,with pity in their eyes. Then they would look away, maybe because they thought the sooner they forgot me, the better. "I am just like you!" I wanted to scream. "The only difference is you've got legs, and I have wheels." People in wheelchairs are not stupid. They see every look and hear each word. Looking out at the faces, I finally understood: I was once just like them. I treated people in wheelchairs exactly the way they did not want to be treated. I realized it is some of us with two healthy legs who are truly disabled. |

| A. felt curious about it B. got ready to move around in it right away C. refused to accept it right away D. thought it was ready for his father |
| 3. The experience of the author tells us that "____". |
| A. life is the best teacher B. people often eat their bitter fruit C. life is so changeable that nobody can foretell D. one should not do to others what he would not like others do to him |
| 4. Which is the best title for this passage? |
| A. How to Get Used to Wheelchairs B. The Wheels Are as Good as Two Legs C. People with Two Legs Are Truly Healthy D. The Difference between Healthy People and the Disabled |

| While many teenagers might dream of meeting with pop star Jay Chou (周杰伦) or NBA hero Yao Ming, Li Jing had a far more powerful person on her mind. The Senior 2 from Beijing No. 35 High School dreamt of meeting Russian President Vladimir Putin. After more than a year of hard work and with a little good luck, Li fulfilled (实现) her dream. On October 11, 2004, the 16-year-old girl joined a team of Chinese journalists who went to the Kremlin (克里姆林宫), Moscow, to interview Putin. Li felt nervous before talking with Putin." But his greeting and warm smile put me at ease," she said. Li admired Putin very much, because of his strong will and style of leadership. "He looks very cool," Li said. During her interview, Li asked Putin whether he planned to educate his two teenage daughters to be officials in the future. Putin smiled and answered he hoped they could do whatever job suits their interests and personalities. Although Li would only have several minutes, she started working on her interview que8tions last August after applying for the opportunity. Journalists' work is by no means easy. "You need to do lots of homework on your interviewee," she said. She read many books about Putin and Russia in her spare time. Li's parents encouraged her to be a student journalist.

Previous in her job for a student magazine, Chinese Young Journalists, she wrote a letter to President Hu Jintao during the SARS epidemic (流行疫情). Li has learnt a lot from her experience.

| A story from the Bible (圣经) tells of old Babylon, where the men decided to build a tower that would touch the sky. But God was unhappy, and he made them speak different languages. They couldn't understand each other, so their dream never came true. Yet the dream remains alive: if all men speak the same language, they can do anything. L. L. Zamenhof from Poland was among the men who pursue this dream. He developed Esperanto (世界语) between 1877 and 1885. As the most successful man-made world language, it is spoken by over two million people around the world. Last month, the World Esperanto Congress (大会), dealing with language rights, ended in Sweden. Most Esperanto speakers are in Central and Eastern Europe and in East Asia, particularly Chinese mainland. Esperanto has two advantages (优点). First, it's easy. Each letter has exactly one sound and there are just 16 basic grammar rules. The second advantage is that it belongs to no one country. But Esperanto has only reached a small number of people compared with natural languages widely used around the world-such as English or Chinese. While these languages are deeply connected with their nations and cultures, Esperanto doesn't have this background. Will Esperanto really become a global language? It remains a question. |
| 1. The writer tells us a story at the beginning to ____. |
| A. explain why men have been making the effort to create a language shared by all B. explain why men now speak different languages C. show the relationship between man and God D. prove language is very important |
| 2. What does the underlined word "pursue" in the second paragraph mean? |
| A. Realize. B. Work for. C. Be against. D. Follow. |
| 3. What is the basic difference between Esperanto and English? |
| A. More people speak English than Esperanto. B. Esperanto words are easier to spell. C. Esperanto has fewer grammar rules. D. Esperanto is not supported by any country or culture. |
| 4. What does the story mainly talk about? |
| A. Advantages and disadvantages of Esperanto. B. Men's dream of sharing the same language. C. Comparison of Esperanto and other languages like English and Chinese. D. The most successful planned language-Esperanto. |

| A poor chimney-sweeper, who had not enough money to buy a meal, stopped one hot summer day at noon before an eating-house, and remained regaling (享受) his nose with the smell of the victuals. The master of the shop told him several times to go away, but the sweeper could not leave savory smell, though unable to purchase the taste of the food. At last the cook came out of the shop, and taking hold of the sweeper, declared that, as he had been feeding upon the smell of his victuals, he should not go away without paying half the price of a dinner. The poor fellow said that he neither could nor would pay, and that he would ask the first person who should pass, whether it was an unreasonable and unjust demand. The case was referred to a policeman, who happened to pass at that moment. He said to the sweeper:"As you have been feasting one of your senses with the odor (气味) of this man's meat, it is but just you should make him some recompense; therefore you shall, in your turn, regale one of his senses, which seems to be more insatiable than your appetite. How much money do you have?" "I have but two pence in all the world, sir, and I must buy me some bread." "Never mind," answered the officer. "Take your two pence between your hands; now rattle them loudly." The sweeper did so, and the officer, turning to the cook, said, "Now, sir, I think he has paid you: the smell of your victuals regaled his nostrils; the sound of his money has tickled your ears." This decision gave more satisfaction to the bystanders than to the cook, but it was the only payment he could obtain. |
| 1. The sweeper stopped one hot summer day at noon before an eating-house, because ____. |
| A. he wanted to regale his nose with the smell of the victuals B. he was hungry and he wanted to have dinner C. he was hungry but he had no enough money to buy a meal D. he wanted to smell if the food was delicious |
| 2. The cook's demand that the sweeper should pay half the price of a dinner was obviously ____. |
| A. reasonable B. not fair C. logical D. proper |
| 3. We infer that the way that the policeman settled the problem was ____. |
| A. foolish B. kind C. clever D. stupid |
| 4. The passage implied, but didn't say clearly that ____. |
| A. it's a pity that the cook did not get what he wanted B. the master of the shop and the cook were cool-hearted C. the cook was cruel D. the sweeper got what he wanted |
