    Immediately I got up and dressed, stuck my violin under my jacket, and went out into the streets to try my luck. I wandered about for an hour, looking for a likely spot, feeling as though I were about to commit a crime. Then I stopped at last under a bridge near the station and decided to have a try.
    I felt tense and nervous. One moment I was part of the hurrying crowds, the next I stood apart, my back to the wall, my hat on the pavement before me, the violin under my chin.
    The first notes I played were loud and raw, then they settled down and began to run more smoothly. To my surprise I was neither caught nor told to shut up. Indeed, nobody took any notice at all. Then an old man without stopping secretly threw a penny into my hat, as if getting rid of some guilty evidence.
    Other pennies followed, slowly but steadily, dropped by shadows who appeared not to see or hear me. It seemed too easy, like a secret trick.
    I worked there for several days, gradually getting the truths of the trade by trial and error（反复试验）.It was not a good thing, for example, to let the hat fill up with money; nor was it wise to empty it completely. Placing a couple of pennies in the hat to start the thing going soon became a regular rule.
    41．When he first began to play the violin, he expected           .
    A．to get into trouble                                                               B．to play better than he did
    C．people to stop and listen to him             D．to be told to move somewhere else
    42．The first man who gave him money           .
    A．was too busy to stop                            B．wanted to get rid of him               
    C．dropped the money by mistake              D．did not want to attract attention
    43．He gradually became confident that day because           .
    A．nobody looked at him                          B．he played the violin very well       
    C．people continued to give him money      D．he earned a lot of money
    44．On the following days, he           .
    A．made a lot of mistakes                         B．learned how to do the job better    
    C．get better at playing the violin               D．did not make so much money
    45．He found that the best way of encouraging people to give him money was to          .
    A．play in different streets                        B．leave all the money in the hat        
    C．empty the hat at regular times               D．leave a small amount of money in the hat

    第三部分：阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
    One of today’s hottest topics among women (and to an extent among men too now) is anti aging and how to reverse the signs of age. The beauty industry has responded to this by offering a wide collection of anti aging creams and other anti aging products aimed at all pocketbooks, ranging from economical to highly priced.
    And the question is “do any of these often much-vaunted(被过度吹嘘的) anti aging creams actually work?” And if they do, how precisely do they perform their miracles?
    Well, the appropriate response to that is that they do work—after a fashion. There certainly are anti aging creams available for a relatively modest price that will reduce the appearance of wrinkles in a comparatively short period of regular application. But this really is the limit of their powers: they won’t actually undo skin damage or eradicate(根除) all signs of age; they will simply modify them, some more effectively than others.
    The way they work is like so: they remove upper layers of dead skin cells and make deeper layers absorb water, serving to plump them up and make them look fuller and healthier. But since such anti aging creams only go skin deep, as it were, skin damage will reappear once you stop using the anti aging wrinkle(皱纹) cream.
    This means fairly heavy regular use, which might be costly depending on your choice of product. However, if you can afford it or think it’s worth the cost, it won’t be such an issue. After all, what woman wants to look older than her years when looking good is so tied up with many women's self-esteem(自尊) and sense of identity.
    A compromise(折中) solution for those on a tighter budget is to use the cheaper creams. In addition, it’s always wise to be a little experimental to make sure you end up with the one that suits your skin best.
    So, to sum up: an anti wrinkle face cream will work within limits, depending on your objective.
    41.   This passage mainly tells us something about _____.
    A. anti aging creams                         B. anti aging foods
    C. anti wrinkle face                          D. anti wrinkle skin
    42.   According to the author, we can infer _____.
    A. anti aging creams must reverse the signs of age
    B. skin damage must not reappear after using creams
    C. anti aging creams should be properly used
    D. skin damage will disappear forever after using creams
    43.   The benefits from anti aging creams are the following except that _____.
    A. they remove upper layers of dead skin cells
    B. they make deeper layers absorb water
    C. they make layers look fuller and healthier
    D. they make wrinkle faces rough
    44.   The meaning of the underlined phrase “on a tighter budget” is _____.
    A. having a larger amount of money
    B. having a smaller amount of money
    C. having no money at all
    D. having a lot of money
    45.   Fairly heavy regular use will make you _____.
    A. spend much money on your choice of product
    B. easily afford your choice of product
    C. think your choice of product wrong
    D. believe your choice of product right

    阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从41~55各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卷上将该项涂黑。
    “Family” is of course an elastic word. But when British people say that their society is based on family life, they are thinking of “family” in its narrow, peculiarly European sense of mother, father and children living together alone in their own house as an economic and social unit. Thus, every British marriage indicates the beginning of a new and independent family—hence the tremendous importance of marriage in British life. For both the man and the woman, marriage means leaving one´s parents and starting one´s own life. The man´s first duty will then be to his wife, and the wife´s to her husband. He will be entirely responsible for her financial support, and she for the running of the new home. Their children will be their common responsibility and theirs alone. Neither the wife´s parents nor the husband´s, nor their brothers or sisters, aunts or uncles, have any right to interfere with them—they are their own masters.?
    Readers of novels like Jane Austen´s Pride and Prejudice will know that in former times marriage among wealthy families were arranged by the girl´s parents, that is, it was the parents´ duty to find a suitable husband for their daughter, preferably a rich one, and by skillful encouragement to lead him eventually to ask their permission to marry her. Until that time, the girl was protected and maintained in the parents´ home, and the financial relief of getting rid of her could be seen in their giving the newly married pair a sum of money called a dowry. It is very different today. Most girls of today get a job when they leave school and become financially independent before their marriage. This has had two results. A girl chooses her own husband, and she gets no dowry.
    41. What does the author mean by “Family is of course an elastic word”?
    A.Different families have different ways of life.
    B. Different definitions could be given to the word.
    C. Different nations have different families.
    D.Different times produce different families.
    42. For an English family, the husband´s duty is ____.
    A. supporting the family while the wife is financial?
    B. defending the family while the wife is running the home
    C. financial while the wife is running the home?
    D. independent while the wife is dependent
    43. Everything is decided in a family ____.
    A.by the coupleB. with the help of their parents
    C. by brothers and sistersD. with the help of aunts and uncles
    44. What is true concerning the book  Pride and Prejudice?
    A. It is the best book on marriage.
    B. It is a handbook of marriage.
    C. It gives quite some idea of English social life in the past.
    D. It provides a lot of information of former?time wealthy families.
    45.With regard to marriage in Britain, present-day girls differ from former time girls in ____.
    A. the right marry                      B. more parental support
    C. choosing husbands                      D. social position?

    When you think of the different types of advertising, several come to your mind. There are the traditional means to advertise: newspapers, magazines, radio, television commercials, billboards, and even taxicabs. Yet there are other types of advertising, such as aerial advertising, which is very different in many aspects.
    Radio advertising is aimed at the local customers. The downside of using radio is that the customer needs to have the station tuned in. Placement of ads on the radio is another consideration since listening time is important to the ad being heard at the best time. The upside of using radio is that the audience does tend to remember jingles（收音机广告中的歌曲）that are easy to remember.
    Magazine and newspaper advertising is directed to the subscribers（订阅人）. The subscriptions limit the availability to non-subscribers. The concept of being able to read information online is slowly changing the subscriptions to this advertising market. Limitations of circulation of magazines and newspapers mean fewer people viewing the advertisements.
    Television commercial advertising is channeled to the viewers. Limitations of viewers based on the available channel selections lower the exposure audience. With the availability of satellite to consumers, locating the client base for advertisement can easily be lost or overlooked.
    Billboard advertising focuses on the area of the billboard. Limitations of outside regions viewing the information are high. Getting the attention of the passers-by to view the information is also a subject to be considered.
    Aerial banner advertising focuses on vast population of various regions. Based upon the region, the exposure is limitless. Grabbing or gaining the public’s attention is based on simple human nature to look up at the airplane that is flying overhead. People typically look up when a plane flies overhead. To have a banner with an advertisement adds more curiosity and response.
    People tend to remember aerial advertising at a high rate. They also tend to communicate to others about the advertisement by sharing the information by word of mouth. This word of mouth is absolutely free but is of important benefit to aerial advertising. Aerial advertising can be done throughout the entire year, but the warmer months are preferred. Aerial advertising has certain restrictions. Yet these restrictions are fewer than the other means of advertising.
    59．The underlined word“downside”in the second paragraph can be replaced by ________.
    A．strength       B．weakness     C．purpose           D．instruction
    60．Which of the following is the author probably in favor of?
    A．Radio advertising.      B．Television advertising.
    C．Aerial advertising. D．Billboard advertising
    61．The first paragraph is used as a（n） _________.
    A．explanation   B．introduction         C．account           D．start
    62．What does the passage mainly tell us?
    A．Different advantages of advertising.      B．Advantages overpass weakness.
    C．Various weaknesses of advertising.  D．Different types of advertising.

    The purpose of communication is to get your message across to others. This is a process that involves both the sender of the message and the receiver. This process leaves room for error, with messages often being misunderstood by one or more of the parties involved. This causes unnecessary confusion.
    In fact, a message is successful only when both the sender and the receiver perceive (感知) it in the same way. By successfully getting your message across, you convey your thoughts and ideas effectively. When not successful, the thoughts and ideas that you convey do not necessarily reflect your own, causing a communication breakdown and creating roadblocks that stand in the way of your goals — both personally and professionally.
    In a recent survey of recruiters (招募者) in companies with more than 50,000 employees, communication skills were cited as the single more important factor in choosing managers. The survey, conducted by the University of Pittsburgh’s Katz Business School, points out that communication skills, including written and oral presentations, as well as an ability to work with others, are the main factors leading to job success.
    In spite of the increasing importance placed on communication skills, many individuals continue to struggle with this, unable to communicate their thoughts and ideas effectively — whether in oral or written form. This inability（无能） makes it nearly impossible for them to compete effectively in the workplace, and stands in the way of career progression. Getting your message across is essential to progressing. To do this, you must understand what your message is, what audience you are sending it to, and how it will be perceived. You must also weigh-in the circumstances surrounding your communication, such as situational and cultural context.
