I have said enough to you about the fact that no two native speakers of English speak it alike, but perhaps you are clever enough to ask me whether I myself speak it in the same way.
I must    21     at once that I do not. Nobody does. I am at present speaking to an audience of many thousands of gramophonists（學(xué)話者）, many of    22     are trying hard to follow my words, syllable by syllable. If I were to speak to you as carelessly as I speak to my wife at home, this record would be    23    ; and if I were to speak to my wife at home as carefully as I am speaking to you, she would think that I was going mad.
As a public speaker I have to take care that every word I say is heard clearly at the far    24    of large halls containing thousands of people. “But at home, when I have to consider only my wife sitting    25     six feet of me at breakfast, I take so little pains with my speech that very often,    26     giving me the expected answer, she says, “Don’t mumble, and don’t turn you head away when you speak. I can’t hear a word you are saying.” And she also is a little careless. Sometimes I have to say “what” two or three times during our meal. And she    27     me of growing deafer and deafer, though she does not say so, because, as I am now over seventy, it might be true.
We all have company manners. If you were to    28     a strange family and to listen through the keyhole before going in---not that I would suggest for a moment that you are capable of doing such a very unladylike or ungentlemanlike thing; but still, if, in your enthusiasm for studying languages you could bring yourself to do it just for a few seconds to hear how a family speak to one another when there is    29     listening to them, and then walk into the room and hear how very    30     they speak in your presence, the change would surprise you. Even when our home manners are as good as our company manners---and of course they ought to be better --- they are always different; and the difference is greater in speech than in anything else.
21.  A. admit                     B. accept               C. refuse               D. deny
22.  A. them                B. who                  C. whom               D. us
23   A. useful               B. important          C. useless              D. helpful
24.  A. side                 B. end                   C. distance             D. length

Whether you’re headed to another country for business or pleasure, it is likely that you need to keep in touch with family or business partners in the United States. But if you plan to do that using your cell phone, you could have an unwelcome surprise-U.S. cell phones don’t work abroad. U.S. companies use different forms of technology, not like most of the international community, including Europe.
However, there is an easy, cost-effective solution(方法) to staying in touch while you’re traveling. You Can rent a phone that is guaranteed to work in the countries you’re visiting. Roadpost offers a 30-day cell phone rental plan that includes free incoming calls, free voicemail and call waiting services.

Those who don’t want to be without e-mail while traveling can rent an international BlackBerry. It can be hard to stay in touch by e-mail when traveling. With an international BlackBerry, you can email as much as you like, without worrying about an expensive bill. If you’re traveling to very remote areas, you may want to consider renting a satellite phone: Because they receive their signals from satellites, these phones work anywhere on the

Funeral homes aren’t just for dead peopled . They’re for our passed–on pets too these days. Pet Angel Memorial Center in Carmel. Indiana, helps guide grieving （悲痛的）animal owners through a vast range of burial and menorial options . The staff of five, all former clients （顧客）, then carries out the owner’s wishes . Perhaps the most important service the center provides, though, is an understanding to cry on .
Owner Coleen Ellis started the country’s first pet funeral home there years ago after the death of her dog Mico. It was then that she discovered her veterinarian（獸醫(yī)）, like most throughout the United States, put dead animals in garbage bags and stored them in a freezer for up to one week . A disposal company then picked up the bodies and took them to a landfill（廢物埋填地）site.
Before opening Pet Anget Memorial Center, Ellis worked in human funeral homes for 15 years, helping guide families through the end of life process. Her work with pets, though, is unusual. Only a handful of animal funeral homes exist, most of which Ellis said she helped get started.
Honoring dead pets and honoring people are similar in many ways. The 1,200 square –foot memorial center, located outside of Indianapolis, offer a full line of memorial items . The lowest priced package starts at $ 230  and includes pick-up , as well as a keepsake（紀(jì)念品）paw print. Friends, family and surviving pets often accompany grieving owners.
The atmosphere is different from a human funeral home, where people stay their distance to give the grieving family privacy. At the center , pet owners mourn together . Often times , if two visitations are going on, the families will share stores about their dead loved ones. It’s a very good healing experience.
63．What made Coleen Ellis have the idea of a pet funeral home?
A．Her dream to become famous in the USA
B．The cruel way of dealing with dead pet animal
C．Her determination to change her job
D．Her wish to make friends with pet owners
64．What do human funeral homes and animal funeral homes have in common ?
a. They both have a memorial center.
b. They both provide memorial items.
c. They have the same atmosphere.
d. In both places grieving people are kept company by their friends
A．a(chǎn).b.c               B．a(chǎn). c. d.                    C． b. c. d.           D．a(chǎn).b.d.
65．The underlined word“visitations ”in the last paragraph refer to “     ”.
A．a(chǎn)nimal funerals                     B．places of funerals
C．pet owners                            D．sad stories
66．What is the passage mainly about ?
A．Coleen Ellis’ life                  B．Human funeral homes.
C．Veterinarians and animals      D．Animal funeral homes

E
Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers urged, "Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience." How right they were! Enthusiastic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure, extra work into opportunity and strangers into friends.
"Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm," wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. It is the paste that helps you hang in there when the going gets tough. It is the inner voice that whispers, "I can do it!" when others shout, "No, you can't!" It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock, a geneticist（遺傳學(xué)家）who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she didn't let up on her experiments. Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping.
We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder and it is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such a youthful air, whatever their age. At 90, cellist Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach（巴赫）. As the music flowed through his fingers, his bent shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes. As author and poet Samuel once wrote, "Years wrinkle（使生皺紋）the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul."
Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money, title or power. Patricia Mallrath, retired director of the Missouri Repertory Theater in Kansas City, was once asked where she got her enthusiasm. She replied, "My father, a lawyer, long ago told me, I never made a penny until I stopped working for money."
If we cannot do what we love as a full-time career, we can do it as a hobby. Elizabeth Layton of Wellsville, Kan, was 68 before she began to draw. This activity ended her depression（抑郁）that had troubled her for at least 30 years, and the quality of her work led one critic to say, "I am persuaded to call Layton a genius."
We can't afford to waste tears on "might-have-beens". We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after "what-can-be." We need to live each moment whole-heartedly, with all our senses-finding pleasure in the sweet smell of a backyard garden, the simple picture of a six-year-old, and the beauty of a rainbow.
67. Which of the following can best explain the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2?
A. Enthusiasm can give you courage and strength in difficult times.
B. If you don't have enthusiasm, you can achieve nothing.
C. Enthusiastic people never consider money and fame.
D. Enthusiastic people can gain great fame and honor.
68. The author mentions cellist Pablo Casals in the third paragraph to show that ________.
A. music can arouse people's enthusiasm
B. enthusiasm can give people inspiration needed to succeed
C. enthusiasm can make people feel young
D. enthusiasm can keep people healthy
69. How many examples are given in the passage to show the importance of enthusiasm?
A. Two.                  B. Three.                  C. Four.                D. Five.
70. The author holds the view that ________.
A. enthusiastic people will never get old
B. enthusiasm can make you succeed and enjoy life
C. enthusiasm is more important than experience
D. enthusiasm can give people more success and fame

If you’ve ever seen a James Bond movie you’ll know that the hero gets around in a smart Aston Martin car. Even if you know full well that you could never afford such an expensive vehicle, you don’t forget the name, or the car. Why? You have been subjected to product placement.
Companies pay for a film to place their products in the movie. Product placement took off in the West in the 1980s and is now catching on in China. Two Hunan Satellite TV series are recent examples：Ugly Wudi and Let’s Go Watch the Meteror Shower（《一起去看流星雨》）. Shampoo, mobile phones, cars— anything can be product-placed. Advertisers value the great appeal (吸引力) of the movies, knowing that a successful film can showcase their goods to hundreds of thousands of viewers. But when product placement takes over, artistic value can take a back seat.
Cai Zhiyong has been product-placing for years. The Beijing-based advertiser admits there is a conflict between art and business. He explains cash-strapped filmmakers often have to sacrifice (犧牲) the quality of their work because they need money from advertisers. In the original story for Meteor Shower, the heroine’s mother owned an ice cream shop. But no ice cream company wanted to give away money to the film. For this reason, the story was changed. In the film the man drinks 20 cups of milk tea where it was originally intended that he would eat ice cream.
Even here incredible, you may see the power of business over the movies, since the flim was perhaps written so that a product could be placed— whether it was ice cream or milk tea.
James Bond movies are mentioned in the first paragraph to show _________.
A. how popular James Bond is      B. how great the Aston Martin car is
C. how to make a movie more artistic   D. how well product placement works
Product placement can have a bad effect on the _________ of a movie.
A. sound effect            B. appeal       
C. commercial success         D. artistic value
What does the underlined word “cash-strapped” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?
A. Short of money.        B. Self-moneymaking
C. With a lot of cash.           D. Intending to earn money
We can learn from the example of Meteor Shower that __________.
A. business has a big say in the movie 
B. the original story was not good for a movie
C. filmmakers care more about making money.
D. milk tea companies are more successful than ice cream companies.

Expressions about water are mostly as common as water itself.
The expression “to be in hot water” is one of them. It is a very old expression. Hot water was used five hundred years ago to mean being in trouble. One story says it got that meaning from the custom of throwing extremely hot water down on enemies attacking a castle. That no longer happens. But we still get “in hot water”. When we are in hot water, we are in trouble. It can be any kind of trouble, serious or not so serious. A person who breaks a law can be in hot water with the police. A young boy can be in hot water with his mother if he walks in the house with dirty shoes.
“Being in deep water” is somewhat like being in hot water. When you are in deep water, you are in a difficult position. Imagine a person who can not swim being thrown in water over his head. You are in deep water when you are facing a problem that you don’t have the ability to solve. You can be in deep water, for example, if you invest in stocks without knowing anything about the stock market.
“To keep your head above water” is a colorful expression that means staying out of debt. A company seeks to keep its head above water during economic hard times. A man who loses his job tries to keep his head above water until he finds a new job.
“Water over the dam” is another expression about past events. It is something that is finished, and cannot be changed. The expression comes from the idea that water has floated over a dam and cannot be brought back again. When a friend is troubled by a mistake he or she has made, you might tell him or her to forget about it. You say it is water over the dam.
Another common expression “to hold water” is about the strength or weakness of an idea or opinion that you may be arguing about . It probably comes from a way of testing the condition of a container. If it can hold water, it is strong and does not have any holes; if it does not hold water, then, it is weak and not worth debating.
“Throwing cold water” also is an expression that deals with ideas or proposals. For example, you want to buy a new car because the old one has some problems, but your wife throws cold water on the idea because she says a new car costs too much.
60. Don’t cheat in this exam! Or you’ll      if you are caught cheating by the teacher.
A. be in hot wate                  B. have to hold water
C . be in deep water                 D. keep your head above water
61.The expression using water in Paragraph       has almost the same meaning as “Things done cannot be undone.”
A. 3    B. 4   C . 5    D. 6
62. We can see from this passage that many of the expressions using water have         meanings.
A. double   B. unpleasant   C . close   D. moral
63.The best title for this passage should be         .
A. The history of water         B. Cold water or hot water
C . Water and it culture         D. Expressions concerning water

The stereotype(固有觀念)of computer scientists as nerds who stay up all night coding and have no social life may be driving women away from the field, according to a new study published this month. This stereotype can be brought to mind based only on the appearance of the environment in a classroom or an office.
“When people think of computer science the image that immediately pops into many of their minds is about the computer geek(怪人)surrounded by such things as computer games, science fiction and junk food,”said Sapna Cheryan, a University of Washington assistant professor of psychology and the study’s lead author. “That stereotype doesn’t appeal to many women who don’t like the portrait of masculinity(男性化).”
Cheryan set up four experiments involving more than 250 female and male students who were not studying computer science to look at possible reasons why the proportion of women in the field is dropping while the proportion of women in such disciplines as biology, mathematics and chemistry is increasing.
In the first experiment,students entered a small classroom that either contained objects stereotypically associated with computer science such as Star Trek posters, video game boxes and Coke cans, or non-stereotypical items such as nature posters, art, a dictionary and coffee cups. The students were told to ignore these objects because the room was being shared with another class. After spending several moments in the classroom, the students filled out questionnaires(調(diào)查問卷)that asked about their attitude toward computer science.
Women exposed to the stereotypical setup expressed less interest in computer science than those who saw the non-stereotypical objects. Men placed in the same situations did not show a similar drop in interest in computer science. Cheryan said this study suggests that a student’s choice of classes or a major can be influenced by the appearance of classrooms, halls and offices.
1. The underlined word “nerds” in Paragraph 1 probably refers to “______”
A. dull persons     B. active persons     C. intelligent persons      D. funny persons
2. Women are less likely to choose computer science because__________.
A. it is too difficult for them       
B. they have wrong understanding of it
C. the lifestyle of computer scientists turns them away
D. they don’t like the social life of computer scientists
3. A woman would probably lose interest in computer science when she sees a ______.
A. Star Trek poster     B. nature poster    C. dictionary      D. coffee cup
4. What can influence a woman’s choice of classes, according to the passage?
A. The contents of computer science.     
B. The space in the classroom.
C. The number of students in the classroom.
D. The classroom environment.
