Not long ago, there lived in Auckland a working family who dreamed about a house of their own. Anyone then could read in the newspapers about the building companies who offered to put people into a new house 21 only a ,1,000 deposit. Of course, the remainder had to be paid off with interest over a period of twenty years or so. The worker and his wife hopefully went to one of these companies 22 this wonderful offer. And the man in the office said. “Yes, sure. You bring along ,1,000 and we can 23 you with a new house.” So the worker and his wife had to work hard and in twelve months’ time they returned to the building man with ,1,000. But the man in the office said, “Look, I’m sorry, 24 we’ll need ,1,500 now. Costs have gone up since we saw you last, you know.” The couple thought it over and decided it would not take very long to save the extra ,500 if they worked hard.

The couple left, sad at heart as they saw their dream house 30 .

Task 1 Hair loss is one of those things we still do not understand. Science has, of course, shown that men are more likely than women to suffer major hair loss. Some kinds of hair loss are temporary (暂时的), an effect of illness. In those cases we can expect the hair to grow back. It all depends on whether the hair root is alive. If it is not, hair loss is permanent and nothing will help. Some daily loss of hair is a normal, healthy sign. Most people lose between 40 to 50 scalp hairs each day. Each of these scalp hairs grows for from two to six years and then rests. About three months later it is pushed out by a new hair growing from the same root. This is not something that should cause great concern. Something else we know is that normal hair loss is seasonal, with the most hair loss occurring in the fall. Everyone experiences a normal cycle of loss and growth. The problem of hair loss results when loss is greater than growth. The main cause of hair loss in men seems to be accumulation (积累) of a hormone (荷尔蒙) in the body. When that hormone reaches a certain level, the hair growing period is shortened and hair loss is the result. This is no cure for most cases of hair loss. This, however, is not the end of the world. 31. According to science, _________. A. hair loss is a normal, healthy sign B. man should pay special attention to hair loss C. it’s likely that men have more problems of hair loss D. men lose more hair than women do 32. The writer thinks _______. A. illness causes hair loss B. human beings have no way to cure hair loss C. hair loss happening in the fall is an effect of illness D. hair loss is permanent 33. We now know that the most hair loss happening in the autumn is ________. A. permanent B. healthy sign C. seasonal D. nothing serious 34. The sentence ―This, however, is not the end of the world‖ means _______. A. man is sure to find the best way of curing his hair loss in the future B. the writer believes the earth exists for ever C. we can’t destroy the world by any means D. the last day will never come to our people 35. The best title for the passage may be ________. A. Loss or Growth B. Hair Loss C. Healthy Sign D. Change with Seasons Task 2 Directions: There is a BUSINESS LETTER below. After reading the letter you should give brief answers to the 5 questions (N.36 through NO.40) that follow. The answers should be written after the corresponding numbers on the Answer Sheet.

Reading. (30points) Directions: There are two reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by five questions. For each question there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose on best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Task 1 To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor: you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your audience; you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong, pleasing voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to act what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear. Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he does not sit motionless before his class: he stands the whole time while teaching; he walks about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings. Listen to him, and you will hear the loudness, the quality and the musical note of his voice always changing according to what he is talking about. The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn’t mean that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important differences between the teacher’s work and the actor’s. The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage. A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes an active part in his play: they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don’t understand something, they say so, which is his class. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along. 31. The passage is mainly abut . how to become an ordinary teacher A. B.what a good teacher should do outside the classroom C. what teachers and actors could learn from each other. D. The similarities and differences between a teacher’s work and an actor’s. 32. A good teacher . A. knows how to hold the interest of his students B. has a low voice C. knows how to act on the stage. D. Stands or sits motionless while teaching. 33. In what way is a teacher’s work different from an actor’s? A. The teacher must learn everything by heart. B. He knows how to control his voice better than an actor. C. He has to deal with unexpected situations. D. He has to use more facial expressions. 34. The main difference between students in class and a theatre audience is that . A. there is no stage to watch B. Students must keep silent while theatre audience needn’t C. No memory work is needed for the students D. The students must take part in the play 35. Why can’t some good teachers play well on the stage? A. Nobody has taught them how to act on the stage. B. Their audiences are different. C. It is impossible for them to do so much memory work D. They are not used to repeating exactly the same words. Task 2 Direction: There are two BUSINESS LETTERS below here.

By 1680 ,the umbrella appeared in France, and later on in England. By the eighteenth century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most or Europe.
