Although Jolie has studied her craft(技艺)since childhood， at one point the 26-year-old，who stars this month in Tomb Raider with her father， actor John Voight，wanted to be a funeral(殡葬)director. “I thought that the crossing over could be a beautiful thing and a time of comfort when people could reach out to each other." Tradition(传统)is always attractive and interesting to Jolie，who moved with her mother，Marceline Bertrand，and brother after her parents separated when she was two. “I never had one home. I never had an attic(阁楼)that had old things in it. We always moved，so I was never rooted anywhere. And I always dreamed of having that attic of things that I could go back and have a look. I'm very drawn to some things that are tradition，that are roots，and I think that may be why I paid such special attention to funerals." she chose acting. "Following in my father's footsteps，"she says，"is an Finally， interesting thing，because I think we speak to each other through our work. You don't really know your parents in a certain way，and they don't really know you. So he can watch a film and see how I am as a woman，the way I'm dealing with a husband who's been hurt，or the way I'm crying alone." "And it's the same for me:I can watch films of his and just see who he is. I've learned to understand him as a person." 1. The passage is about a woman who _______. A. was once a funeral director B. is the leading actress in Tomb Raider C. wants an attic to live in D. was hurt by her husband 2. Which of the following can best support Tradition is always attractive and interesting to Jolie, A. Jolie longed to have old things from her childhood. B.

The words “Following in my father's footsteps” most probably mean ______.

We often believe we're more skillful in getting our point across than we actually are，according to Boza Keysar，a professor at the University of Chicago. In his recent study，speakers tried to express their meanings using unclear sentences. Speakers who thought listeners understood were wrong nearly half the time. Here's some good advice to reduce misunderstanding: (1) Don't trust what you see from the listener. Listeners often nod，look at you or say "uhhuh" to be polite or move the conversation along. But it's easy to consider these as signs of understanding. (2) Train the editor(编辑)in your head. If you say，"Beth discusses her problems with her husband，" it's not clear whether she's talking to her husband or about him. Try instead，"Beth talks to her husband about her problems.” or "Beth talks to others about the problems with her husband." (3) Ask listeners to repeat your message. Introduce your request by saying "I want to be sure I said that right." Questions like “How does that sound,"or “Does that make sense,"may also work. (4) Listen well. When on the receiving end，ask questions to be sure you're on the same page. After all，it isn't just the speaker's job to make his speech understood. 1. Why does the writer give us the advice, A. We're not skillful enough to make clear sentences. B. Misunderstanding is damaging our normal lives. C. Misunderstanding occurs now and then. D. It's impolite to say NO to others. 2. The writer suggests that when talking to others，the speaker should ______. A. know that listeners will show him that they understand his words B. express himself clearly even when he sees signs of understanding C. notice listener's signs of understanding D. look directly into his listener's eyes 3. By Train the editor in your head，the speakers are advised _______. A. to get themselves trained by a good editor B. to discuss problems with their husbands or wives C. to express themselves in long but simple sentences D. to make sure each sentence has only one meaning 4. In the last paragraph，the words you're on the same page mean that ______. A. you're following the speakers closely B. you're reading the same page as the speaker does C. you should know which page the speaker refers to D. your story is written on the same page as the speaker's 正确答案:1.C 2.B 3.D 4.A 解 析: 题号: 20 题型: 简答题 分数: 12 难度: 1 题目20:Passage Three You get all sorts of demands，and the mark of a good hotel is to supply whatever is asked for without sounding surprised. If a guest asks for rubber glover(手套)，you don't ask why. You say， "No problem. What color do you want?" There have been some demands which，much as I would have liked to fill，I couldn't. A Japanese businessman，for example，thought the manager of a hotel was like the captain of a ship so he asked me to marry him as the woman he loved. There was one time， however， we did help out. A young man thought that if he asked his girlfriend to marry him at the Ritz she would say yes. He asked us to put the ring in a cake，and she accepted. Top hotels are used more and more to impress. They are used for doing business. If you've got something to sell，take your clients(客户) to the best hotel where the surroundings are quite helpful. A friend of mine working at Savoy Hotel tells the story about a man who gave him 5 pounds to say " good morning， Mr. Smith" when he walked through the door with two other men. This he did，and could hear Mr. Smith saying，"I do wish they would leave me alone at this place." According to Julian Payne，the most powerful people in any hotel are the porters，who carry bags for hotel guests. "Porters can do almost anything. They can get you tables at the best restaurants or tickets for a popular concert. Don't ask me how they do it or what their deal is because I don't know. Most of them have been there for years. They know more about the history of the hotel and the guests than anyone else. They are invaluable. A head porter will come in even on his day off so he can say hello to someone he remembers visiting the hotel years ago." 1. When guests ask for something strange，the manager of a good hotel would think_________. A. how he can meet their needs B. why they have such demands C. what problems the hotel has D. who is the best person to go to 2. Which of the following examples explains "we did help out"? A. The hotel bought a ring for a young lady. B. A Japanese married the woman he loved. C. The manager once acted as a captain. D. A young lady agreed to marry her boyfriend. 3. By saying "I do wish they would leave me alone at this place，" Mr. Smith . A. showed that he disliked such people at the hotel B. gave the impression that he was a constant guest C. tried to make his clients feel sorry for him D. sounded as if he was tired of such greetings 4.Why are the porters considered the most powerful people in expensive hotels? A. they sell tickets for converts. B. they can complete difficult tasks. C. they know the history of hotels. D. They usually work in a hotel for a long time. 正确答案:1.A 2.D 3.D 4.D 解 析: 题号: 21 题型:简答题 分数: 12 难度: 1 题目21:Passage Four Take a deep breath and spend a week with the Lee family in Minneapolis. The three older children: Anna，12，Nathan，9，and Kristian，7, play one sport or another almost all year round.(Lisa is only 1 so she gets a break here.) Anna's practicing football， volleyball，basketball and softball. Nathan and Kristian do them all except volleyball. In the summer，add on tennis and swim lessons. All of this means that dad，Darwin，a teacher，and mom，Joann，a nurse，spend a lot of time making sure everyone gets where he needs to be. Family dimmers? Forget about it. A busy family timetable，says Barbara Carlson. A school teacher，has become the new thing that shows your status(地位). " It used to be a house or car，" says Carlson. "Now you say，' You' re busy? You should see how busy we are. '" In hope of getting their children into Harvard，many parents send their children to violin lessons at 3 and sign them up for tennis as soon as they're big enough to hold a bat. And that's just the warm-up. The real serious task begins as soon as they start school. Mr. Moffat，father of a nine-year-old boy，said，"It's important for children to learn honor and responsibility (责任) ，" he says. "It builds discipline (纪律性) and character." Maybe，but scientists say that too many outside activities destroy something children need even more - time to connect with their family members. Professor William J. Doherty，a University of Minnesota professor of family social science says that if parents and children don't make time for each other，there will be problems. He says， "Parents are so eager to develop the children in every possible way that raising children becomes like product development." 1. Which child of the Lee family has more activities than the others? A. Nathan B. Kristian C. Anna D. Lisa 2. Which of the following is True of the Lee family? A. A busy timetable is something new. B. The children are taken wherever they want to go. C. Lisa is free because she only has one activity. D. It is difficult to have a family dinner. 3. Why do some parents make their children practice sports or music even when they are very young? A. To fill up the timetable for their spare time. B. To find them a way into best universities. C. To help them do well in school. D. To show a kind of social status. 4. What might the writer suggest parents should do for children? A. Get them into various activities. B. Build up a close family tie for them. C. Prepare them for school as early as possible. D. Help them understand honor and responsibility. 正确答案:1.C 2.B 3.B 4.B 解 析: 题号: 22 题型: 简答题 分数: 12 难度: 1 题目22:Passage Five There was a river with a small town on either side of it. The towns were linked by a bridge. One day，a hole appeared in the bridge. Both towns agreed that the hole should be mended. However，disagreement came up as to who should mend it. Each town thought that it had a better reason for the other to mend the hole. The town on the right bank said that it was at the end of the road，so the left-bank town should mend the hole. The town on the left bank，on the other hand，insisted that all the traffic came to the right-bank town，so it was in their interest to mend the bridge. The quarrel went on and on，and so did the hole. The more it went on，the more the hostility between the two towns grew. One day a man fell into the hole and broke his leg. People from both towns questioned him closely about whether he was walking from the right bank to the left or from the left bank to the right，in order to decide which town should be blamed for the accident. But he could not remember，since he got drunk that night. Some time later，a car was crossing the bridge and broke an axle(轴)because of the hole. Neither town paid any attention to the accident，as the traveler was not going from one to the other，but was merely passing through. The angry traveler got out of the car and asked why the hole was not mended. On hearing the reason，he declared，"I'll buy this hole. Who's the owner," Both towns at once declared that they owned the hole. "One or the other，whoever owns the hole must prove it." "How shall we prove it,”Asked both sides. "That's simple. Only the owner of the hole has the right to mend it. I'll buy the hole from whoever mends the bridge." People from both towns rushed to do the job while the traveler smoked a cigar and his driver changed the axle. They mended the bridge in no time and asked for the money for the hole. What hole,"The traveler looked surprised. “ I can't see any hole. I've been looking for a hole for several years now. I'm prepared to pay a good price for it，but there's no hole here. Are you pulling my leg or what," He got into his car and drove off. 1. What did the two towns quarrel about, A. Which of them should mend the hole. B. Whether the hole should be mended. C. Why there was a hole in the bridge. D. When they should mend the hole. 2. The man who had fallen into the hole failed to answer any questions because he ______. A. had one of his legs broken B. was busy changing the axle C. had drunk too much wine D. was afraid to blame anybody 3. Both towns rushed to mend the hole in order to prove that ______. A. they owned the whole bridge B. they had the right to sell the hole C. they were able to mend the hole D. they could afford to mend the hole 4.

Then the church closed, and the small farm village in the state's northeast corner looked set to just disappear. Thanks to five devoted women, it didn't. In May 2001, after meeting with staff from the Center for Rural Affairs, the Louise Guy, Vicky Koch, Jeanette Pinkelman, Mary Rose Pinkelman and friends-- Violet Pinkelman--opened a weekend market for vendors (小商贩) to sell handcrafts and local food. "We felt like, what can we do to bring the community together?" says Mary Rose Pinkelman. "We decided to make a place to sell local goods. " They set up shop in the church school, which, though closed for nearly 40 years, had been well maintained. The first weekend, 16 vendors took over an old classroom. The result was an instant hit. Today, the market draws up t0 70 vendors--who sell such items as homemade jellies, baked goods, hand-woven rugs, and farm-grown produce--and what Pinkelman calls an unexpected number of visitors. In the process, the market has made St. James a destination again, putting it back on the state road map. 40. According to Paragraph l, what fate was St. James, Nebraska suffering? A.

He had already written comedies and history plays, but had not yet developed his skill at tragedy. The power of fate is strong in Shakespeare's play. Chance and evil eventually join to bring tragedy. Chance involves Romeo in a murder; chance prevents a message from reaching Romeo in time; chance brings about a deadly meeting in a cemetery. Many Elizabethans were followers of astrology (星相术) and believed that the stars could control events. Thus, Romeo and Juliet are referred to as "star-crossed lovers" whose stars doomed (命中注定) them to disaster. Elizabethans also had a concept of fate in the person of Dame Fortune (命运女神). By spinning her wheel, she could raise the state of a beggar or lower that of a king. One of the fascinations of Shakespeare is the way in which he put these ideas into the play. One of the most difficult things to decide about this play is the question of responsibility. Did irresistible fate bring tragedy to Romeo and Juliet, or were they themselves to blame? The fact that this question is not resolved by the author also helps to make Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet a fascinating work. 44. According to Paragraph l, Shakespeare wrote Romeo and Juliet . A. when he succeeded in comedies and history plays B. after he had developed his skill in tragedy C. before he wrote comedies and history plays D. when he was no longer young 45.

What is unresolved about this play is . A. who is responsible for the tragedy B. whether Romeo and Juliet are tragic characters C. what the most fascinating element of the play is D. how tragic fate can be avoided Passage Four Friends become a child's chosen family. If his social life is going well, he gains confidence. If he has trouble connecting, it hurts and can make him feel sad and withdrawn and lonely. 1. Help your child communicate. Naturally outgoing kids have an easier time expressing their interest in other children than shy ones do. But you can help build this skill through practice. Ask your child about his favorite games and toys. Praise him for specifics when he shows interest in other people: "You were so nice to let Roger talk about his little dog. I am proud of you. " 2. Keep play short and sweet. Parents should keep early play dates short, so no one gets too tired and everyone has fun. Schedule the next one soon after that, so kids can quickly build on their comfort foundation. 3. Know your child. If your child is bossy, talk with him and agree beforehand on which toys will be shared and which ones should be put away because your child just can't seem to share them. If you have a shy child, match him with a younger child so he has a chance to be the leader. 4. Help your child help others. Encourage your child to be a better friend by helping him include others in play. If you see someone being excluded, don't ignore it. This is an opportunity to work on your child's ability to understand others. "Rachel is being left out .That must make her feel very sad. Can you think of a way to include her in the game?" 5. Help your kids help themselves. If your child is the one who's being ignored or treated badly, teach him to speak up. 48. Which Word can best describe a child who is good at connecting? A. Bossy. B.

How to Help Your Child Make Friends Passage Five Memory is the ability to keep track of things that have happened in the past. Memory really is learning. One needs memory to ride a bicycle. A dog needs to remember if it is to come when called. Memory is said to be stored in the brain as a "memory trace (记忆痕).”What makes up this trace is not known. Some scientists believe that certain chemical substances may carry certain memories. For example, one substance, when given to rats, causes them to fear the dark. Other research into memory has to do with how the brain works. Psychologists use three means to find out how a person remembers. For example, give a person a grocery list. Let the person memorize the list, and then put it away. The most natural way to find out how much a person remembers of the grocery list is to ask what he or she remembers. This is called the method of recall. Another method is called recognition. Give the person another grocery list. Ask him or her to choose items on the first list from the items that are on only the second list. Often a person will be able to or she cannot recall. A third method of finding how much a person remembers is called relearning. Here the person is asked to read over the first list. The person will probably learn the list the second time faster than he did the first time. The difference in the time it takes to relearn the list is thought of as a measure of how much a person has remembered. One way of remembering something is to repeat it many times. Interest is very important. Boring lists of facts are much more difficult to remember than something that we understand and are interested in. Motivation, or wanting to do something, is also important. Motivation is linked with reward. For example, a hungry animal quickly learns how to do something if that action gets the animal food. In humans, wanting to learn is often motivation. The praise of a teacher or the knowledge that an answer is correct is rewarding. 52. We can learn from the 2nd paragraph that . A. bad memories may cause rats to fear the dark B. it is hard to tell what a memory trace consists of C. chemical substances carry certain memories D. memory is stored in the brain as a substance 53.

What is considered as a measure of how much one has remembered? A. The length of the list. B. The type of list items. C. The time difference of relearning D. The time difference of brain working 55. A good way to train an animal to do something quickly is to . A. make the action easy B. praise it in words C. reward it with food D. weaken its motivation V.
