| I paid a visit to Cambridge last January. Though the trip took me 5 hours and it rained the whole day with strong winds there, the town deserved a visit. The bus started at 6:10 a. m. It stopped at 4 airports before we finally arrived, which wasted more time than we expected. Tired with long sitting, one passenger stood up to relax his numbed legs. The driver asked him to sit down but in vain. So he pulled up and said seriously, "Either you get off or sit down. "To him, safety is the first policy. Cambridge consists of nearly thirty colleges. The oldest part of the university was built in the 13th century while the newest was founded in the mid 1960s. The number of the students is so great that many students live in lodgings(出租房)and move into college for their final year. Cambridge is called a university town because there is no clear separation between the university buildings and the rest of the city. The university is not just one part of the town; it is all over the town. The heart of Cambridge has shops, pubs, and supermarkets, but most of it is university-colleges, departments, libraries, clubs and other places for university staff and students. Students fill the shops, cafes, banks and churches, making these as well part of the university. With over 10, 000 undergraduates and postgraduates, the town is a busy place indeed. Students here are not allowed to keep cars. If you happen to be walking in the street during a break, better stop a moment to avoid the boiling sea of bicycles hurrying in all directions, carrying students from one college or lecture room to another. 1. The writer believed that the trip took more time because of________ A. bad weather B. unexpected stops of the bus C. one passenger D. an accident on the way 2. Why is Cambridge called a university town? A. It has 10, 000 undergraduates and postgraduates. B. There are nearly thirty colleges in the town. C. All the students and staff live in the town. D. The university and town are fully combined. 3. It can be inferred that most Cambridge students take________as their first means of transport. A. boats B. cars C. bicycles D. buses |

| An 8 -year-0ld girl was dragged about 900 feet by a school bus today in Livingston County. According to State Police, the incident occurred about 2:40 p. m. on State Route 436 in the town of Ossian after three sisters were dropped off the bus. As the last sister was leaving the bus, driver John Coley, 62, of Wayland, Steuben County, told police that he was not paying attention when he closed the door and trapped her backpack inside. Coley then continued 900 feet before he realized the girl was being dragged, State Police said. The girl was hurt and was transported to Nicholas H. Noyes Memorial Hospital in Dansville, Livingston County, by Dansville Ambulance. Another 8-year-old child on the bus said he hit his head on the seat in front of him when the bus came to a sudden stop, causing an earache. Conservation staff in New Zealand have put down 33 stranded(搁浅)whales after several attempts to refloat them failed. The whales shot Thursday were the last of 99 that stranded themselves Monday on Farewell Spit on the South Island. Department of Conservation area manager John Mason says staff and hundreds of volunteers had tried all week to get the whales refloated. He says they thought they were successful Wednesday when they got the whales into deep water-but were saddened Thursday to find that they had swum back ashore. He says the condition of the whales had significantly become worse. As well as the 33 whales that were shot, 36 had died naturally since Monday and 17 were successfully refloated. Thirteen remain unknown. 1. The last sister was dragged by the bus because_______.

| Every year Chris Brogan posts his three words for a new year. I and many others have followed his lead for the past three or four years. They helped me a lot. My words for last year were "passion", "focus" and "delegate" and I stayed true to them. This year, 2012, my goals are more personal and less professional. FOCUS Focus is making a repeat appearance on my list this year because I'm too much of a multitasker. The problem is that I have trouble finishing one thing with so many things calling me. When I was working as a writer, all my projects were handled via a schedule, which kept me organized. This year I'm going to have each task scheduled. I'm putting a fitness and housekeeping routine into my schedule. HEALTH I get so busy taking care of everyone else, I forget to take care of myself and this has to change. My health suffers and my weight suffers. I have to get my health in check, not only for me-but because I promised my 9-year-old son. I'll make sure to take time to exercise every day and make good food and lifestyle choices. I miss being thin, and it's time to get it back. CELEBRATE What good is having it all if I'm not taking time to enjoy it?I have a wonderful job, a happy family, and so much to be thankful for. So how come I spend all my time working? Last summer my family took our first vacation in four years, the best thing I've done for myself and my family in a long time. This year, I'm making sure to take time to enjoy life and celebrate its many blessings. Do you have any words for 2012? 1. The underlined word "multitasker" probably refers to a person who________. A. makes a living by writing B. always fails to finish a task on time C. has several things to do at the same time D. pays more attention to fitness and housekeeping 2. Why does the writer have "health" as one of his three words? A. He wants to take better care of others. B. He's gaining weight and feeling bad. C. He did not take any exercise in the past. D. He got the idea from his son. 3. What can we learn from the passage? A. The word "celebrate" can remind the writer to enjoy life. B. The writer has a vacation with his family every four years. C. The word "focus" can help the writer focus on his family. D. The writer used to be overweight for lack of exercise. 4. The best title for the passage might be________? A. Three Words for 2012 B. Health Should Go First C. Keep Organized D. Goals for 2012 |

| I'm often told how I have a dream job, that I work for a great company, getting to deal with the leaders in social media every day, and especially that I get to work from my home. Usually the people who tell me that working from home is wonderful have never worked from home. They spend most of their career working from an office and hate it. In fact, I love being able to work from home and make my own hours. I truly appreciate being able to drop what I'm doing to attend kids or go shopping, but there's a side to it we don't often talk about, the hard side. No one wants to believe people like me, working from home, have anything to complain about. Really, I'm not going to complain, but I do want to share a few things about telecommuting(远程办公)that few home -based people want to tell you, because working from home doesn't look so wonderful. One of the reasons I love my job is the flexibility. I know that I can volunteer for school projects, meet friends for lunch and work out for an hour as long as I get my work done. But did you know telecommuters have to make up the time if they wish to pepper their days with fun distractions?So while my husband and kids are watching a movie, I'm working until midnight. Besides, when you work from home, you're held to your phone and Skype(网络电话)in case someone wants to talk to you during business hours. So it's not so easy to be flexible! 1. We learn from the passage that the writer_____________. A. is quite satisfied with her present work B. can balance her work and family life well C. complains about the disadvantages of working from office D. presents some unknown facts of working from home 2. The last paragraph mainly tells us that__________. A. you're not as flexible as you think you are B. you're usually a slave to yourself C. the writer can always make full use of the freedom D. the writer is always busy with her work 3. The writer probably agrees that__________. A. east or west, home working is the best B. freedom should always come before work C. get work done, or you'll have no freedom D. all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy 4. Who is the passage mainly intended for? A. Telecommuters. B. Office workers. C. Job hunters. D. Researchers. |

| 根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项.选项中有两项为多余选项 Maybe you have heard the expression "When in Rome, do as the Romans do". So when you want to do business in France, you have to get to know French culture, to make marketing plans, and to run your business by local laws. 1 The French take great pride in their language, so anyone who does not speak it may run the risk of being disrespected by his French colleagues or business partners. Also, another reason why learning French is important is that it is a great way to show every possible French business partner that you care and respect their country's culture and language. The first thing that you should do when meeting someone new is to shake his hand firmly and always look the person in the eye. In social meetings with friends, kissing is common. Use first names only after being invited to. 2 The French will sometimes introduce themselves using their surname first, followed by their first name. Dress well. 3 Your business clothing is a reflection of your success and social status. Always try to be tasteful and stylish. Women are advised to dress simply but elegantly. Wearing make -up is practised widely by business women. The French are passionate about food, so lunches are common in doing business in France, which usually consist of an appetizer, main meal with wine, cheese, dessert and coffee, and normally take up to two hours. 4 Do not begin eating until the host says, "bon appetite". Pass dishes to the left, keep wrists above the table and try to eat everything on the plate. 5 This may suggest that you find the food tasteless. If eating in a restaurant, the person who invites always pays. A. The French draw information about people based on their appearance. B. This is a time for relationship building. C. Remember to be as polite as possible. D. Language should be the focus of anyone planning to do business in France. E. Be careful with adding salt, pepper or sauces to your food. F. Use Monsieur or Madame before the surname. G. Make an appointment with your business partner in advance. |
