The 1900 house

The bowler family was one of more than 400families who applied to 1900 house, a reality TV shout which took atypical family back a hundred years to se how people lived in thedays before the internet, computer games and even electricity.

The bowler family spent three months in aLondon home without a telephone, computers, TV, or fast food. Thebowlers wore clothes from 1900, are only food available in Englishat that time, and cooked their meals on a single stove. Paul bowlerstill went to work every day in a then uniform. The childrenchanged their clothes on the way to and from school and theirclassmates didn’t know about then unusural home life. Joyce stayedat home, cooking and cleaning like a typical housewife of the time,though everything took three times as long.

So does Joyce think that people’s lives werebetter in the old days?

“I think people in the old days had just admany troubles and worries,” Joyce said.

And I don’t think their life was better or worse, there werelots of things back then that

I’m happy I don’t have to deal with nowadays, but on the otherhand life was simpler.” “We had a lot more time with our family,and it was hard being nice to each other all the time,”eleven-year-old Hilary said.

So what did the Bowlerfamily miss most about modern life while living in the 1900house?

Paul,39:” telephone and ahot shower”

Joyce,44:” a quick cup oftea from a kettle you could just turn on”

Hilary,11:” rock CD”

Joseph,9:” hamburger andcomputer games”

54.While the Bowler family was living in 1900house,_____.[A]

D The family had more time to stay together

56.What would Hilary expect most from modern life in the threemonths?[C]

A To play computergamesB To make phone calls

C To listen tomusicD To chat on theInternet

For these reasons,I believe that lawmakers need to legislate (立法)against spam.Spammers should be fined,and perhaps sent to prison ifthey continue to disturb people.E-mail is a tool which helps peopleall over the world to communicate conveniently,but spam isdestroying this conwenience.

57.What does the underlined word “correspondence” in theParagraph 1 probablymean?【A】

58.According to the text, what is the major cause of thefloodingspam?【D】

A.Companies rely on e-mail forcommunications.

B.More people in the world communicate by e-mail.

C.Many computer viruses contain spam e-mail.

D.More advertisers begin to promote sales through spam.

59.According to Paragraph 3,who is the final victim ofspam?【D】

A. ThebusinessB. Theadvertiser

C.TheemployeeD.The consumer

D

When I first got an email account ten years ago, I receivedcommunications only from family,friends,and colleagues.Now it seemsthat every time I check my e-mail ,I have an endless seriers ofadvertisement and otner correspondence that do not interest the atall.If we want e-mail to continue to be useful,we need special lawsthat make spamming(发送垃圾邮件) a crime.

This problem is troubling for inviduals and companies as well. Manyspam emails contain computer viruses that can shut down the entirenetwork of a company.Companies rely on e-mail on on e-mail fortheir Comployees to communicate with each other. Spam frequentlycauses failures in their local commnications networks,and theiremployees are thus unable to communicate effectively.such asituationg results in a loss of productivity and requires companiesto repeatedly repai their networks.These computer problems raiseproductton costs of companies ,which are,in the end,passed on tothe consumer.

60.What is the purpose of the text?

A.ToinformB.ToeducateC.TopersuadeD.To instruet

第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）

根据短文内容，从下框的A~F选项中选出能概括每一段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余项。

Gift Giving

61. C

There are many occasions（场合） for giving gifts in modernindustrialinzed societies;birthdays,naming ceremonies, weddings,anniversaries, New Year, It is common to give gifts on many ofthese celebrations in western cultures. In addition, specialevents, such as one’ s first day of school or graduation fromuniversity, often require gift fiving.

62. F

What is happening when we give gifts? Most important, we areexchanging gifts. If someone gives me a gift for my birthday, Iknow that I am usually expected to give one on his or her nextbirthday. A gift builds up or confirms a socialoblingation（义务）.

63. D

Gifts tighten personal relationships and provide a means ofcommunication between loved ones. People say that a gift lets therecipient（接受者） know we are thinking of them, and that we want tomake the person “feel special.”We want people to feel wanted, tofeel part of our social or family group. We give presents to say“I’m sorry.”Sometimes it is difficult for us to find a present thatsomeone will like. Sometimes we give things that we like or wouldfrrl comfortable with. In all these cases, the gifts are sendingout messages－often very expressive ones.

64. B

People tend to talk about presents in a fairly loving way. A womanwhose mother had died years ago described the many gifts around herhouse.These were gifts that her mother had given her over theyears:“I appreciate these, and they mean something to me,”the womansaid,“because I remember the occasions they were given on, and thatthey were from my mother, and the relationship we’ve had.”The giftsremain and keep the relationship alive in mind. This woman felt thesame way about the gifts she gave to others. She hoped that therecipients would look at here gifts in years to come and

65. A

Emotions(情感)like these suggest that a positive spirit still liesbehind gift giving. They prove that the anthropologist ClaudeLevi-Strauss was wrong to say that modern western gift giving ishighly wasteful. Studies in Canada and elsewhere have also shownthat this is not the case. Each gift is unique even if so many aregiven.The emotional benefit for those who exchange gifts is thevery reason for the tradition to continue.

Ever since they were first put on the market in the early 1990s,gentically mondified (GM, 转基因) foods have been increasinglydeveloped and marketed in many countries in the world, mainly onthe basis of their promise to end the worldwide food crisis. Butcan GM technology solve world hunger problems? Even if it would ,isit the best solution?

Despite what it promises,GM technology actually has not increased theproduction potential （潜力）of any crop. In fact, studies show thatthe most widely grown GM crop.

GM soybeans, has suffered reduced productivity. For instance, areport than analysed nearly two decades of research on mojor GMfood crops shows that GM engineering has failed to significantlyincrease US crop production.

Something else, however, has been on the rise. While GM seedsare expensive, GM companics tell farmers that they will make goodprofits by saving money on pesticides（杀虫剂）. On the contrary, USgovernment data show that GM crops in the US have produced anoverall increase in pesticide use compared to traditional crops. “The promise was that you could use less chemicalsand boost production. But neither is true,” said BillChristison, President of the US National Family Farm Coalition.

At the same time, the authors of the book World Hunger: TwelveMyths argue that there actually is more than enough food in theworld and that the hunger crisis is not caused by production, butby problems in food distribution and politics. These indeed deserveour efforts and money. Meanwhile, the rise in food prices resultsfrom the increased use of crops for fuel rather than food,according to a 2008 World Bank report.

As a matter of fact ,scientists see better ways to feed theworld. Another World Bank report concluded that GM crops havelittle to offer to the challenges of worldwide poverty and hunger,because better ways out are available, among which “green” farmingis supposed to be the first choice.

57.The author develops the second paragraph mainly.

A. byclassification B. by comparison

C. byexampleD. by process

58. What does the underlined word “boost ” in the thirdparagraph probably mean?

A.Control.B. EvaluateC. Obtain.D. Increase.

59. GM companies promise farmers that they will benefit from______________.

A. practicing “green”farmingB. use of less chemicals

C. fair distribution of theircropsD. using more crops for fuel

60. Which of the following best describes the attitude of theauthor towards GM technology?

A.OptimisticB.DefensiveC. DisapprovingD. Casual

61.As awareness of the benefits of humour increases, most of uswant to get all the langhs we can. It seems that almost every daythere is another new discovery about the power of humour to help usphysically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Every system ofthe body responds to langhter in some important or positive way.

62.Many pcople mistakenly believe that we are born with a senseof humour. They think that when it comes to a sense of humour.“either you have got it or you don't .” This is false! What istrue, however, is that the ability to laugh and smile is actuallysomething we are born with. For example, we laugh when we aretickled under the arm, even without thinking about how toreact.

63. The parts of the brain and central nervoussystem that control laughing and smiling are mature at birth inhuman infants, but that is not the same thing as having a sense ofhumour. (After all, when a baby laughs in his small bed we don’trush over and say, “That kid has a great sense of humour!”) Yoursense of humour is something you can develop over a lifetime. Don’tbe nervous before others and try to laugh at yourself-then you willmake them laugh too.

64.Humour includes a lot more than laughing and joke telling.Many people worry needlessly that they do not have a good sense ofhumour because they are not good joke tellers. More than jokes, asense of humour requires being willing and able to see the funnyside of life’s situations as they happen. In fact, one of the bestdefinitions（定义）of a sense of humour is “the ability to see thenonserious element in a situation.”

65.There may be a thousand different ways to express your senseof humour, but joke telling is only one of those ways. As more isdiscovered about how humour benefits our life, more people will beable to see and enjoy the humour when they are in a difficultsituation. Life depends on air, food and water, but it is madeeasier to live with a good sense of humour.

One possible version:

Hi, TigerMom,

What puzzles you isactually a puzzle for many parents in China. My idea is that itis not quite right for you to do so.

Although high grades are animportant factor in evaluating students and for their futureuniversity admission, development in wisdom, emotion, health, andlife attitude should never be ignored. There are many examplesaround us. Some straight-A students in school have turned out notto be successful in society as they were expected. The reason isoften that the pressure from their parents allows them almost notime for other activities. Furthermore, punishment is by no means awise choice to help them grow up mentally and physically.

So I suggest that you takeyour friends’ advice. More importantly, let her live like a lovelygirl; let her have more friends and social activities; and let hermake mistakes of her own as we teenagers often do.

Three Boys and a Dad

Bras closed the door slowly as Sue left hometo visit her mother. Expecting a whole day to relax, he wasthinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favourite TVtalk show on his first day off in months. “This will be like a walkin the park,” he’d told his wife. “I’ll look after the kids, andyou can go visit your mom.”

Things started well, but just after eighto’clock, his three little “good kids”—Mike, Randy, and Alex—camedown the stairs in their night clothes and shouted “breakfast,daddy.” When food had not appeared within thirty seconds, Randybegan using his spoon on Alex’s head as if it were a drum. Alexstarted to shout loudly in time to the beat(节拍). Mike chanted“Where’s my toast, where’s my toast,” in the background. Bradrealized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.

Life became worse after breakfast. Mike woreRandy’s underwear on his head. Randy locked himself in thebathroom, while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet hispants. Nobody could find clean socks, although they were beforetheir very eyes. Someone named “Not Me” had spilled a whole glassof orange juice into the basket of clean clothes. Brad knew thetalk show had already started.

By ten o’clock, things were out of control.Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread andbutter. Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating thekitchen wall with his colour pencils. Randy, thankfully, appearedto be reading quietly in the family room, but closer examinationshowed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle withhis hands. Brad realized that the talk show was over and readingwould be impossible.

At exactly11:17, Brad called the daycarecentre(日托所). “I suddenly have to go into work and my wife’s away.Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes? ” The answer wasobviously “yes” because Brad was smiling.

Eating too much fatty food，exercising too little and smoking canraise your future risk of heart disease. But there is anotherfactor that can cause your heart problems more immediately：the airyou breathe.

Previous studies have linked high exposure（暴露）to environmentalpollution to an increased risk of heart problems, but two analysesnow show that poor air quality can lead to heart attack orstroke（中风） within as little as a few hours after exposure. In onereview of the research, scientists found that people exposed tohigh levels of pollutants（污染物）were up to 5% more likely to suffer aheart attack within days of exposure than those with lowerexposure. A separate study of stroke patients showed that even airthat the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency（EPA）considers to beof “moderate”（良好） quality and relatively safe for our health canraise the risk of stroke as much as 34% within 12 to 14 hours ofexposure.

The authors of both studies stress that these risks arerelatively small for healthy people and certainly modestcompared with other risk factors such as smoking and high bloodpressure. However, it is important to be aware of these dangersbecause everyone is exposed to air pollution regardless oflifestyle choices. So stricter regulation by the EPA of pollutantsmay not only improve environmental air quality but could alsobecome necessary to protect public health.

53. The text mainly discusses the relationship between.

A. heart problems and airqualityB. heart problems and exercising

C. heart problems andsmoking D. heart problems and fatty food

54. The underlined word “modest” in Paragraph 3 most probablymeans.

A. relativelyhighB. extremely low

C. relativelylowD. extremely high

55.What can we learn from thetext？

A. Eating fatty food has immediate effects on your heart.

B. The EPA conducted many studies on air quality.

C. Moderate air quality is more harmful than smoking.

D. Stricter regulations on pollutants should be made.

56. The author’s purpose of writing the text is most likely to.

A.informB.persuade C.describe D. entertain

D

Spring is coming, and it is time for those about to graduate tolook for jobs. Competiton is tough, so job seekers must carefullyconsider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing, ourfamily and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.

A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companiesto discourage visible tattoos(纹身) nose rings,or certain dressstyles. It is true you can’t judge a book by its cover, yet peopledo “cover” themseleves in order to convey(传递) certain mssages. Whatwe wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of whowe are. Just as people convey messages about themseleves with theirappearances, so do companies. Dress standards exist in the businessworld for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often aboutwhat customers accept.

Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, butfor busiesses it is more about whether to make or lose money. Mostemployers do care about the personal appearances of theiremployees（雇员）, because those people represent the companies totheir customers.

As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who wouldmake the best impression on our customers. There are plenty ofwell-qualified candidates, so it is not wrong to reject someone whomight disappoint my customers. Even thongh I am open-minded,I can’texpect all our customers are.

There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choicesdoes not match that of your preferred employer. No company shouldhave to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she isunwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards arelegal.

Speaking to a group can be difficult, butlistening to a bad speech is truly a tiresome task—especially whenthe speaker is confusing. Don’t want to confuse your audience?Follow these suggestions:

61.

When it comes to understanding newinformation, the human brain needs a little time. First, we hearthe words; then, we compare the new information to what we alreadyknow. If the two are different, we need to pause and think. But abreathless speaker never stops to let us think about what he or sheis saying and risks confusing us. Slow it down. And breathe.

62.

Sometimes we all start a sentence one way andthen switch directions, which is very difficult to follow. When youconfuse your listeners with opposing information, you leave theaudience wondering what part of the information is right and whatpart they should remember. Instead of relying on keeping correctingyourself, work to get the facts clear and straight.

63.

Jumping from point to point as it comes toyour mind puts the onus(责任)on your listeners to make up for yourlack of organisation. And it’s confusing for them to listen,reorganize, and figure out what you’re saying all at once. Butgoing smoothly from one point to the next helps them understandinformation more easily. You can arrange things from beginning toend, small to large, top to bottom or by some other order. Just besure to organize.

64.

Repeated use of um, ah, like, you know and some otheruseless noises can drive an audience crazy. It makes the speakersound uncertain and unprepared, and it can leave listeners soannoyed that they can’t pay attention. Recently I attended a speechthat was marked by so many ums that audience members wererolling their eyes. Was anybody grasping the intended message? Um,probably not.

65.

Many speakers finish up their speeches with question-and-answer(Q&A) sessions, but some let the Q& A go on without a clear end. The audience isoften left confused about whether the meeting is over and when theycan get up and leave. Do your listeners a favour by setting a timelimit on questions, and close your speech with a specificsignal—even if it’s something simple like, “Ifyou have any more questions, you know where to reach me.”

Or even more to the point, conclude your speech with “Thanks foryour time.”

Ms. Li, our English teacher, must have found it strange onTeachers’ Day: she did not receive a single greeting card from usstudents. She would have never thought a complete surprise waswaiting for her.

As Teachers’ Day was approaching, our class decided to hold aparty to celebrate the important day for a change this year. On theafternoon of September 10, some of us decorated our classroom withpaper flowers and balloons, and others went to buy cakes, drinksand fruits. The blackboard was decorated with beautiful words,which read “Happy Teachers’ Day!”

Entering the classroom, Ms. Li was surprised to find we werestanding in line, clapping hands and saying loudly “Happy Teachers’Day!” Wang Hua, our monitor, presented her with the preparedflowers. Some of the girls sang for Ms. Li, and three boys showedtheir Gongfu talent. Before we left, we enjoyed a new English Songby Ms. Li.

Ms. Li spent a wonderful time with us, but we know that wecannot thank her enough for all her hard work and guidance.
