第二部分:阅读理解(15小题:每小题2分,共30)

阅读下列短文,然后从各题所给的四个选项(ABCD)中,选出最佳选项。

A

  SaturdayMarch 24th

  We have arrived in the hot, wet city of Bangkok. This is our first trip to Thailand(泰国). All the different smells make us want to try the food. We are going to eat something special for dinner tonight. The hotel we are staying in is cheap, and very clean. We plan to stay here for a few days, visit some places in the city, and then travel to Chiang Mai in the North.

  Tuesday, March 27th

  Bangkok is wonderful and surprising! The places are interesting. We visited the famous market which was on water, and saw a lot of fruits and vegetables.

We will take the train north, stay in Chiang Mai for two days, and then catch a bus to Chiang Rai.

  FridayMarch 30th

  Our trip to Chiang Rai was long and boring. We visited a small village in the mountains. The village people here love the quiet life -- no computers or phones. They are the kindest people I have ever met. They always smile and say “hello”. Kathy and I can only speak a few words of Thai, so smiling is the best way to show our kindness. I feel good here and hope to be able to come back next year.

“Mum, what does it mean when someone tells you that they have a skeleton (骨骼) in the closet (衣橱)”Jessica asked. “A skeleton in the closet?” her mother paused thoughtfully, Well, it’s something that you would rather not have anyone else know about. For example, if in the past, someone in Dad’s family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be ‘a skeleton in his family’s closet’. He really wouldn’t want any neighbor to know about it.”

“Why pick on my family?” Jessica’s father said with anger. “Your family history isn’t so good, you know. Wasn’t you great – great grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes?” “Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.” “Gosh, sorry I asked. I think I understand now,” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.

After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica’s parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica’s closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessica’s mother sank into a faint (晕倒), waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.

“What happened? Where am I?” she asked. “You just destroyed the school’s skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “They’re both crazy,” she thought.

39. According to Jessica’s mother, “a skeleton in the closet” means_______.

  A. a family honor        B. a family secret   

  C. a family story          D. a family treasure

40. What can we learn about some Australian’s ancestors from Paragraph 2?

  A. They were brought to Australia as prisoners.

  B. They were the earliest people living in Australia.

  C. They were involved in some crimes in Australia.

  D. They were not regarded as criminals in their days.

41. Why did Jessica bring a skeleton home?

  A. She was curious about it.                            

  B. She planned to keep it for fun.

  C. She needed it for her school task.                

  D. She intended to scare her parents.

42. Jessica’s parents laughed madly at the end of the story probably because______.

  A. they were crazy                                         

  B. they were overexcited

  C. they realized their misunderstanding            

  D. they both thought they had won the quarrel

“I usually put my mobile phone in my bag, and I often feel like it is ringing when there actually is no phone call. Now I always want to keep it in my hand, being afraid that I might miss important calls or messages,” Miss Liu tells her doctor.

Miss Gu, a news worker, has to take her mobile phone with her all the time so as not to miss any calls from her office or readers. Gradually, she started to experience a great “panic” about her mobile phone. “Every night when I’m about to fall asleep, I often wake up with a start, feeling that my phone is ringing. Although I’m sure that I have turned it off, I still feel that it is ringing, clearly.”

The above phenomenon is what we call “mobile-phone acouasm (幻听)”. The mobile phone has now become a “new organ” in a white collar’s daily life, and “mobile-phone acouasm” has become a common phenomenon among office workers.

According to a report of China Youth Daily, “mobile-phone acouasm ” most likely results from people’s dependency on hi-tech products. It is associated with certain professions, such as salesmen, consultants and journalists. They use mobile phones almost continuously.

Constantly being in the “stand-by” mode, the strong psychological tension gives them acouasm. Meanwhile, a large number of this year’s graduates are joining the family of acouasm suffers due to the hard job-hunting experience.

“You know that the rings are not from your phone, but you always take it out and have a look. This is subconscious(潜意识) from your body sending you a signal, telling you that you must take a break to reduce your pressure,” Professor Sun Li from Huadong Normal University explains.

There are many ways to solve the problem. The professor says that the key is to deal with pressure from work. “This is just a kind of self-protection”; the most important thing is to find out the source of your pressure. And then take part in some activities that are not related to your work. You can do anything that can relax your body and mind.”

47. According to the passage the phrase “mobile-phone acouasm” refers to           .

A. people’s being addicted to mobile phones

B. people’s feeling the unreal phone rings

C. mobile phones’ going wrong frequently

D. mobile phones’ disturbing people constantly

48. How does “mobile-phone acouasm ” come about ? 

A. Some mobile phones are in poor quality.

B. Some people develop the dependency on mobile phones.

C. Some people listen to the music on mobile phones too much.

D. Something is wrong with some people’s hearing.

49. What kind of people are more likely to suffer from “mobile-phone acouasm” ?

A. Those who use mobile phones too often.

B. Those who like mobile phones very much.

C. Those who lead a busy life.

D. Those who lead a free life.

50. What is the most important measure to deal with “mobile-phone acouasm ” ? 

A. To buy a mobile phone of good quality.

B. To turn off your mobile phone.

C. To get rid of pressure from work.

D. To have your ears examined regularly.

 

第三部分:任务型阅读(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)

请阅读短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

注意:每个空格只填一个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。

When Should a Leader Apologize and When Not?

Why Difficult?

When we wrong someone we know, even not intentionally, we are generally expected to apologize so as to improve the situation. But when we’re acting as leaders, the circumstances are different. The act of apology is carried out not merely at the level of the individual but also at the level of the institution. It is a performance in which every expression matters and every word becomes part of the public record. Refusing to apologize can be smart, or it can be stupid. So, readiness to apologize can be seen as a sign of strong character or as a sign of weakness. A successful apology can turn hate into personal and organizational harmony—while an apology that is too little, too late, or too obviously strategic can bring on individual and institutional ruin. What, then, is to be done? How can leaders decide if and when to apologize publicly?

Why Now?

The question of whether leaders should apologize publicly has never been more urgent. During the last decade or so, the United States in particular has developed an apology culture—apologies of all kinds and for all sorts of wrongdoings are made far more frequently than before. More newspaper writers have written about the growing importance of public apologies. More articles, cartoons, advice columns, and radio and television programs have similarly dealt with the subject of private apologies.

Why Bother?

Why do we apologize? Why do we ever put ourselves in situations likely to be difficult, embarrassing, and even risky? Leaders who apologize publicly could be an easy target. They are expected to appear strong and capable. And whenever they make public statements of any kind, their individual and institutional reputations are in danger. Clearly, then, leaders should not apologize often or lightly. For a leader to express apology, there needs to be a good, strong reason. Leaders will publicly apologize if and when they think the costs of doing so are lower than the costs of not doing so.

Why Refuse?

Why is it that leaders so often refuse to apologize, even when a public apology seems to be in order? Their reasons can be individual or institutional. Because leaders are public figures, their apologies are likely to be personally uncomfortable and even professionally risky. Leaders may also be afraid that admission of a mistake will damage or destroy the organization for which they are responsible. There can be good reasons for hanging tough in tough situations, as we shall see, but it is a high-risk strategy.

 

 

When should a leader apologize and when not?

Why is it so difficult to apologize publicly?

Why has the issue of public apology been so

   4   in the USA? 

Why do leaders bother so much about public apologies?

Why do leaders often refuse to apologize publicly?

 

 

 


Public apology is much more than a personal     1   .

It’s no    2    job to strike a balance between apologizing or not.

Apologies not   3    offered can bring on individual and institutional ruin.

 

 

 

 

In an apology    5  , admission of all sorts of wrongdoings is more required than before.

The   6    importance of public apologies has been widely reported in the mass media.

 

 

 

 

 


Being public figures, leaders are   7    to appear strong and capable.

There needs to be a sufficient reason for a leader to apologize in     8   .

 

 

 

 

 

 


Making apologies is  9  to be personally uncomfortable and even professionally risky.

Admission of a mistake or wrongdoing will probably do  

   10   to their organization.

Great Changes

I am deeply impressed by the great changes that have taken place in the school over the past three years.

On May 12, 2008, a severe earthquake destroyed almost everything in the school, leaving badly-damaged buildings. It is now, however, taking on a new look. Tall buildings have been put up, including classrooms, laboratory buildings and a library. There is also a newly-built standard playground. In the new environment, teachers and students are living happily and working hard. It is really amazing that the once-ruined place has now been turned into a beautiful school, full of life.

Obviously, without the help of the whole society, there would be no new school today. It is love and concern that have brought about the great changes. Many hands make light work. We can work wonders if we unite as a family, caring for each other and helping those in need. Union is strength.
