9.Fifteen years ago,I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy.After climbing up a hill for a panoramic(全景的) view of the blue sea,white buildings and green olive trees,I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama.
Unfortunately,just as I took out my camera,a woman approached from behind,and planted herself right in front of my view.Like me,this woman was here to stop,sigh and appreciate the view.
Patient as I was,after about 15 minutes,my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take,I grew frustrated.Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape?Sure,I could have asked her,but something prevented me from doing so.She seemed so content in her observation.I didn't want to mess with that.
Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored.The woman was still there.I decided to take the photo anyway.And now when I look at it,I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting.The landscape,beautiful on its own,somehow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it.
This photo,with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who"ruined"it,now hangs on a wall in my bedroom.What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured(捕捉) and frozen on some stranger's bedroom wall?A bedroom,after all,is a very private space,in which some woman I don't even know has been immortalized(使…永存).In some ways,she lives in my house.
Perhaps we all live in each others'spaces.Perhaps this is what photos are for:to remind us that we all appreciate beauty,that we all share a common desire for pleasure,for connection,for something that is greater than us.
That photo is a reminder,a captured moment,an unspoken conversation between two women,separated only by a thin square of glass.

41.What happened when the author was about to take a photo?B
A.Her camera stopped working.
B.A woman blocked her view.
C.Someone asked her to leave.
D.A friend approached from behind.
42.According to the author,the woman was probablyA.
A.enjoying herself
B.losing her patience
C.waiting for the sunset
D.thinking about her past
43.In the author's opinion,what makes the photo so alive?C
A.The rich color of the landscape.
B.The perfect positioning of the camera.
C.The woman's existence in the photo.
D.The soft sunlight that summer day.
44.The photo on the bedroom wall enables the author to better understandD.
A.the need to be close to nature
B.the importance of private space
C.the joy of the vacation in Italy
D.the shared passion for beauty
45.The passage can be seen as the author's reflections uponA.
A.a particular life experience
B.the pleasure of traveling
C.the art of photography
D.a lost friendship.

“It’s a big hammer to crack a nut.” This is how one angry parent described the recent crackdown(强制措施)by London police on parents who drop their kids off at school by car. Yes, you read that correctly—the very mode of transportation that many American schools insist—the only safe way to deliver kids to school is now being criminalized in the United Kingdom.

The decision to fine any vehicles seen dropping off or picking up kids with in a particular zone of east London comes from city councillors’(议员) long-term efforts to make the area safer and less crowded. They say they’ve been trying for years “to encourage sensible driving and parking”, but in vain. Neighborhood residents complain frequently about their driveways being blocked by illegally parked cars for 15 minutes or more,often while they’re trying to get to work, and the streets are long overcrowded.

Now the rules have changed. Some parents are angry. Angie Baillieul is a mother who made the “big hammer” comment and says the crackdown is “way over the top.” The nearest drop-off point for her six- year-old is now a five-minute walk from the school. Others are happy with the decision, severe though it may seem. Councillor Jason Frost said :

“Traffic has significantly reduced,and more children are now walking to school, which is a great outcome. I would rather have complaints that we are slightly inconveniencing parents than hear that a child had been seriously injured because nothing was done.”

I witness daily the chaos created by these in-town drivers,when I walk my own kids to school. There’s a parking lot overflowing with vehicles and a slow-moving train of cars moving in circles,many filling the air with harmful smokes. Meanwhile, the conversations around child over-weight and the importance of daily physical activity continue to stand out in schools.

1.Why is Angie Baillieul opposed to the new rule?

A. She is often fined by London police. B. She will lose her job as a school driver.

C. She has adapted to the American practice. D. She thinks it adds inconvenience to her son.

2.Why has the new rule been made according to Jason Frost1?

A. On account of massive complaints. B. Because of heavy traffic jams.

C. Owing to safety concern. D. Due to air pollution.

3.What can be seen after the crackdown is carried out?

A. Less daily chaos. B. Favor from all people.

C. More over-weight children. D. Complaints from neighbors.

4.What is the main idea of the text?

A. Parents attempt to resist a school rule.

B. London police cause widespread anger.

C. American schools care about kids7 safety.

D. Different voices are heard on a new traffic policy.

11.As world travel increases,nations learn from each other.In the United States today there are many evidences of this fact.
One of the latest imports is acupuncture(针灸),the use of needles for treating diseases.Although acupuncture has been practiced in China for more than 2,000years,its use in the Western world is still very new.Several hospitals in the United States are now experimenting with acupuncture as a way of treating pain.
An American journalist who stood beside a patient during an operation in Shanghai recently described the process and its effects.To keep the patient from feeling pain during the operation,four needles were used,each about an inch and a half long.Two needles were inserted under the skin on each side of the patient's neck.The tops of the needles were attached to wires which led to a small electrical device.
Throughout the operation the patient talked calmly to those standing around him,insisting that he felt perfectly normal.At one point he stretched out his hands and moved his bare toes to show that only his chest and neck were affected.
How does acupuncture work?How is it able to keep a patient from feeling pain?No very satisfactory answer has been given,but there are at least three theories.Some doctors believe that acupuncture somehow produces an effect upon the central nervous system.Others believe that acupuncture produces a chemical change in the body's fluid.Still another theory is that the needles make contact with an unknown system of energy in the body which travels along certain routes under the skin.The true explanation may be one of these or a combination of more than one.It may be something entirely different.
28.At one point during the operation,the patient moved his hands and toes to show thatD.
A.he felt no pain at all
B.his hands and toes were painful
C.the operation was quite a success
D.he felt quite normal except his chest and neck
29.Several hospitals in the United States are nowB.
A.testing the effect of acupuncture on pain
B.practicing acupuncture as a way of treating disease
C.importing needles for experimental use
D.doing operation on patients'chest and neck
30.Which of the following is true?C
A.Acupuncture has been practiced in the western countries for more than a century.
B.Although acupuncture works well on pain,how it really works remains unknown.
C.There are already three satisfactory theories on how acupuncture works.
D.The effect of acupuncture on pain is still doubted by the Western World.
31.It can be learned from the passage thatA.
A.acupuncture has existed in china for over 2,000years
B.the Chinese mainly use acupuncture to treat strange diseases
C.the needles can work without any device
D.Throughout the operation the patient can do everything he wanted.

1.In all fields of life,and particularly within the commercial world,when managed effectively,competition can deliver a wealth of benefits.It can provide individuals with the motivation they need to work hard and achieve objectives.It can encourage effective teamwork as managers seek to use the different strong points of team members to secure the best team performance.It can contribute to greater commitment to quality as people seek to use this as a way to beat their competitors.Healthy competition can cause the development of creativity as individuals seek out all possible ways to get ahead of the crowd.It can also help managers to identify which individual makes progress under pressure and which is better suited to less stressful roles.
However,employers can often find it difficult to agree on the type of competition they want within their organization,the targets they'll use and the measurement techniques they'll apply.For example,it's common for businesses to give different sales teams clear targets with the lure(诱惑)of the highest bonuses for the top performers.While this will usually give rise to healthy competition,it can also mean that important long-term projects get pushed to one side as the team devotes all its energy to achieving the short-term target.So it's important that the goals and objectives which are set for teams are in line with wider business requirements.Additionally,in very competitive organizations,managers should get individuals to see the bigger picture and act in the best interest of their organization as a whole,rather than to follow the very narrow targets they have set as individuals or as a team.
Thus,employers have to be careful not to let competition have a ruinous effect on morale (士气) at any level.Equally,businesses should introduce clear processes and guidelines that prevent individuals from different teams quarrelling about the allocation of sales income if parties from different teams have worked together to win a contract(合同).Infighting such as this is always damaging.Moreover,managers must also be alert to the risk of creating conditions where bullying(欺凌) can be used.
To encourage healthy competition in an organization,you must introduce very clear policies regarding competition and ensure the information is communicated effectively.Individuals must know what behavior is acceptable within a competitive environment,and what behavior is considered not acceptable.Also,you should ensure that individuals are measured against all desirable targets but not one simple goal.Ensure that you have senior managers who are able to take a"helicopter view"and judge fairly between teams for the greater good when arguments do unavoidably arise.
Healthy competition
(71)Benefitsof healthy competition•Competition can keep individuals (72)motivated to work hard towards goals.
•With each member's (73)strengths used effectively,the team will work better and more productively as a whole.
•Healthy competition can encourage everyone to work more (74)creatively.
•It helps managers to learn about their employees.
Challenges in encouraging healthy competition•●Sometimes competition makes teams (75)focus on short-term    goals instead of long-term goals.
•Sometimes competition makes individuals (76)ignore the whole organization's interests and then just follow their own narrow targets.
What to avoid for healthy competition•Avoid letting competition (77)ruin morale.
•Avoid using (78)unclear processes and guidelines that can result in infighting.
•Avoid creating conditions where individuals bully each other.
Tips on encouraging healthy competition•Make policies about what can be done and what is (79)unacceptable.
•Assess individuals on a comprehensive basis.
•Choose senior managers who can make fair (80)judgments about arguments.

Dear friends,

May I have you attention, please? I'm going to talk about something focusing in Protecting Wildlife. So far millions of species have died off or, have endangered mainly for two reasons. For one thing, man has been killing them for food or other commercial reasons. Take antelopes for example. Poachers hunt them for their fur, that can be made into luxurious shawls. For another, human civilization has been developing very fast that man has invaded and destroyed wild animals' natural habitats. Human activity have greatly threatened their existence. If all the wild animals disappear one day from the planet, humans would feel lonely. The world is beautiful for its diversity. Besides, some animals are extreme useful in the field of science, while others are especially adorable, unique, and keep us a good company. However, we should learn to share the earth with them. Thank you for your time.

3.I had dressed quite nicely for my first day as a student at  St.Anne's College of Further Education.In celebration of this new beginning,I had changed my unusual clothes to formal clothing.
Like many young people my age,I was under the impression that the best way to show your personality was by wearing the kind of clothing that my mother considered was not fit to be seen in public.But for my first day as a student I had made an effort to look what my mother called‘respectable'.
There were fifteen of us,sitting in the theatre hall,while the head of the drama department,Mr Wilson,gave us a warm welcoming speech.To my horror (恐惧),he then invited us to say why we had decided to do a drama course.I had no idea what I would say.The truth was that although I had a taste for unusual clothing,I was painfully shy.
My worry grew as it came closer to my turn.One by one,the new students excitedly explained their reasons.Then it was the turn of a girl who I hadn't really noticed until that moment because I was too busy thinking about what I would say.
‘My name's Tracy and I'm from Blackburn',she said,and then added no further information.
Everyone smiled politely in silence but I was impressed at her bravery in saying almost nothing even under pressure (压力).I relaxed,knowing that you could get away with saying so little about yourself.It gave me confidence.
After Mr Wilson at long last let us out of the hall to go to lunch,I managed to find the courage to go up to Tracy.She looked very unfriendly.Taking a deep breath,I introduced myself.To my surprise,she looked up at me and gave me a very bright,sweet smile.That was twenty-seven years ago,and although we never did become famous stars,we're still best friends.

25.Why did the author change her appearance for her first day at college?C
A.She was under pressure from her mother.
B.She wanted to fit in with the other students.
C.She felt a need to dress properly.
D.She wanted to look like a great star.
26.According to Paragraph 3,the authorA.
A.was not as active as she might have seemed
B.hated the head of her department
C.was unsure of her reasons for wanting to do the course
D.was afraid that she would find the course too hard
27.The author was nervous becauseC.
A.she had never spoken in public
B.it was her turn to start first
C.she didn't know what to talk about
D.the other students were so excited
28.What does the underlined word"It"in Paragraph 5 refer to?D
A.Tracy also seemed extremely worried.
B.All attention was on Tracy.
C.The other students reacted politely to Tracy.
D.Tracy hadn't said very much.
