    Love, success, happiness, family and freedom—how important are these values to you? Here is one interview which explores the fundamental questions in life.
    Question: Could you introduce yourself first?
    Answer: My name is Misbah, 27 years old. I was born in a war-torn area. Right now I’m a web designer.
    Q: What are your great memories?
    A: My parents used to take us to hunt birds, climb trees, and play in the fields. For me it was like a holiday because we were going to have fun all day long. Those are my great memories.
    Q: Does your childhood mean a lot to you?
    A: Yes. As life was very hard, I used to work to help bring money in for the family. I spent my childhood working, with responsibilities beyond my age. However, it taught me to deal with problems all alone. I learnt to be independent.
    Q: What changes would you like to make in your life?
    A: If I could change something in my life, I’d change it so that my childhood could have taken place in another area. I would have loved to live with my family in freedom. Who cares whether we have much money, or whether we have a beautiful house? It doesn’t matter as long as I can live with my family and we are safe.
    Q: How do your get along with your parents?
    A: My parents supported me until I came of age. I want to give back what I’ve got. That’s our way. But I am working in another city. My only contact with my parents now is through the phone, but I hate using it. It filters(过滤) out your emotion and leaves your voice only. My deepest feelings should be passed through sight, hearing and touch.
    小题1:In Misbah’s childhood,     .
    A．he was fond of getting close to natureB．he liked living in the countryside
    C．he was free from worryD．he often spent holidays with his family

    A．By chatting on the Internet.
    B．By calling them sometimes.
    C．By writing them letters.
    D．By paying weekly visits.
    小题4:If there were only one question left, what would it most probably be?
    A．What was your childhood dream?
    B．What is your parents’ view of you?
    C．What is your biggest achievement?
    D．What was your hardest experience in the war?

    小题1:A
    小题2:D
    小题3:D
    小题4:C

    小题1:推理题。根据第二个问题的答案可知他的父母经常带他去户外活动，靠近大自然。故A正确。
    小题2:推理题。根据文章倒数第二个问题的答案I would have loved to live with my family in freedom. Who cares whether we have much money, or whether we have a beautiful house? It doesn’t matter as long as I can live with my family and we are safe.可知他想要的是平和和自由。
    小题3:推理题。根据文章最后My only contact with my parents now is through the phone, but I hate using it. It filters(过滤) out your emotion and leaves your voice only. My deepest feelings should be passed through sight, hearing and touch.可知他现在是通过电话与父母联系的，而他又非常不喜欢电话交流的方法，My deepest feelings should be passed through sight, hearing and touch.说明D正确。
    小题4:推断题。文章一开始就提到了Love, success, happiness, family and freedom其中的success没有提到，故接下来最有可能的就是问最大的成功是什么。

    China has become Volvo's third largest market, with more of its car models to go on sale in the world's largest auto（汽车） market this year, Chief Executive Office (CEO) of Volvo Cars China said in Tianjin.
    Alexander Klose, CEO of Volvo Cars China, told Xinhua at the Ninth Tianjin International Automobile Trade Show, being held from Friday to Wednesday.
    Klose said Volvo Cars had entered a new time of fast development, adding that its sales volume in China roared in 2010.
    Up to the end of September, Volvo's global sales volume was up 12.5 percent year on year（同年比）, compared with 52 percent year-on-year rise in China, he said.
    Two new Volvo sales centers opened in Beijing within merely one week in early October, about two months after east China's ZhejiangGeely Holding Group Co acquired（购得）the Swedish brand from the US auto giant Ford for $1.5 billion in early August.
    Klose said he was confident of seeing tremendous(巨大的) growth in China's auto market in the next five years. "As the Chinese government has increased the tax rate for large displacement （排量）cars already, we now have a lot of cars below three liters（升）, and I think we'll stick to that strategy, as you can see now the XC60 which was introduced today is just two liters," he said.
    "As the technology advances, we'll probably even see 1.6 liter engines or 1.5 liter engines in the future," he added.
    Volvo Cars is not the only automaker hoping to take advantage of China's rapidly growing auto market.
    Bentley, the famous British luxury（豪华） carmaker, will open a new sales center in China at Tianjin Thursday, which is the 11th one in China, according to a press release（新闻发布） by Shanghai-based Zenith Integrated Communications Corp (Zenith) Saturday at the auto show.
    Zenth is the public relations agent of Bentley in China. The automaker has sold 421 limousines（大型豪华轿车） to China in 2009, and the goal for 2010 is 777, the release said.
    小题1:The word underlined in the third paragraph would probably be___.      
    A．shouted loudlyB．increased in large numbers
    C．reduced rapidlyD．burned brightly
    小题2:From this passage we can infer that ___.                       
    A．The Ninth Tianjin International Automobile Trade Show was held from Friday to Wednesday.
    B．Volvo Cars is a world-famous carmaker in Britain.
    C．Of all the auto sales volume Volvo sales volume is only number one in China
    D．Volvo sales centers are developing very fast in China recently
    小题3:The text is mainly about____.                       
    A．China Becomes Volvo's 3rd largest market
    B．Volvo Cars in China
    C．Volvo Sales Volume in China
    D．Carmakers in China
    小题4:How many carmakers are mentioned in this passage which opened and will open new sales centers in China recently?                                 
    A．OneB．TwoC．ThreeD．Four

    In cities with rent control, the city government sets the maximum rent that a landlord (房东) can charge for an apartment. Supporters of rent control argue that it protects people who are living in apartment. Their rent cannot increase; therefore, they are not in danger of losing their homes. However, the critics say that after a long time, rent control may have negative effects. Landlords know that they cannot increase their profits. Therefore, they invest in other businesses where they can increase their profits. They do not invest in new buildings which would also be rent-controlled. As a result, new apartments are not built. Many people who need apartments cannot find any. According to the critics, the end result of rent control is a shortage of apartments in the city.
    Some experts argue that the minimum wage law can cause problems in the same way. The federal government sets the minimum that an employer must pay workers. The minimum helps people who generally look for unskilled, low-paying jobs. However, if the minimum is high, employers may hire fewer workers. They will replace workers with machinery. Therefore, other things being equal, the number of workers that employers want decreases. Thus, critics hold the opinion that an increase in the minimum wage may cause unemployment. Some poor people may find themselves without jobs instead of with jobs at the minimum wage.
    Supporters of the minimum wage say that it helps people keep their dignity. Because of the law, workers cannot sell their services for less than the minimum. Furthermore, employers cannot force workers to accept jobs at unfair wages.
    Economic theory predicts the results of economic decision, such as decisions about farm production, rent control, and the minimum wage. The predictions may be corrected only if “other things are equal”. Economists do not agree on some of the predictions. They also do not agree on the value of different decisions. Some economists support a particular decision while others criticize it. Economists do agree, however, that there are no simple answers to economic questions.
    小题1:There is the possibility that setting maximum rent may________.
    A．cause a shortage of apartments
    B．worry those who rent apartments as homes.
    C．increase the profits of landlords.
    D．encourage landlords to invest in building apartments.
    小题2:We can safely say that rent control_________.
    A．will always benefit those who rent apartments.
    B．is unnecessary.
    C．will probably bring inactive effects in the long run.
    D．is necessary under all conditions
    小题3:There will be the problem of unemployment if ________________.
    A．the minimum wage is set too high..
    B．the minimum wage is set too early.
    C．the workers are unskilled.
    D．the maximum wage is set for poor workers.
    小题4:The passage tells us about _______________.
    A．the relationship between supply and demand.
    B．the possible results of government controls.
    C．the necessity of government control.
    D．the urgency of getting rid of government control.
    小题5:Which of the following statements is NOT true?
    A．The results of economic decisions cannot always be predicted.
    B．Minimum wage cannot always protect employees.
    C．Economic theory can help predict the results of economic decision if other factors are not changing.
    D．Economists usually have the same prediction about an economic decision.

    The British are being encouraged to holiday at home as a major tourism drive offering Olympic themed discounts is launched next week.
    A new campaign offering 20. 12% discounted bills at participating venues (场所) will be announced publicly for the first time by Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt on Wednesday to encourage "staycations".
    The scheme includes hotel accommodation, meals, guided tours and entry to attractions, with discounts funded by the industry. Government officials said more than three million hotel rooms were already lined up under the project, which is being backed by a range of companies, including Butlins. Attractions, such as the London Eye and Alton Towers, are also taking part. Reduced prices will also be offered on stays on the Royal yacht Britannia, now harboring in Leith, Edinburgh, and visits to Chatsworth, the historic house in Derbyshire.
    Tourists will be able to take advantage of the discount by using a dedicated website before the end of the Paralympics on September 9 to make bookings for this year and 2013.
    Mr. Hunt said, "With the Diamond Jubilee and the 2012 Olympic Games, this year is the perfect opportunity for more of us to holiday in the UK "
    Mr. Hunt has travelled the UK, urging companies to take part in the scheme, telling them, "It's now or never for London tourism. We will never have a year like 2012 to show the world that this is, quite simply, the most exciting, vibrant, cosmopolitan city on the planet. The unavoidable complaints in the run up to an Olympics must not cloud the scale of the opportunity —including our biggest ever tourism marketing campaign to make sure we get a lasting benefit from being in the global spotlight. "
    The scheme will be promoted by a ￡3 million television advertising campaign — the first of its kind in the UK.
    The government hopes the " Holidays at Home are Great" campaign — launched by Visit England — will create 12, 000 jobs, create 5.3 million extra short overnight breaks, and generate ￡480 million in extra spending over three years.
    小题1:What Mr. Hunt said indicates that        .
    A．he has no interest in the scheme
    B．he supports the idea of staycation
    C．he doubts the benefit of the scheme
    D．he cares most about London tourism
    小题2:What does the underlined sentence (in Para. 6) mean?
    A．London tourism will never have a precious opportunity.
    B．It is too golden an opportunity for London tourism to lose.
    C．It is now too late for London tourism to take this opportunity.
    D．London has ever had a valuable opportunity like the one in 2012.
    小题3:How will the "Holidays at Home are Great" campaign probably benefit London?
    A．It will offer 20. 12% discount to travelers' expenses.
    B．It will attract more international travelers to visit London.
    C．It will create more job opportunities and bring in more money.
    D．It will prove London the most exciting, vibrant, cosmopolitan city on earth.
    小题4:In which section of a newspaper will this article be presented?
    A．Entertainment.B．Politics.C．Finance.D．News.

    It took courage to stand up at work. Now more and more people like to have a change and stand up when they are on something important. Standing up is popular. Medical researchers have found that people who stand at work tend to be much healthier than those who sit.
    In the last few years, many office supply companies have begun to sell the adjustable- height desk. These so- called “ sit/ stand” models are equipped with an electric motor that lets them shift from chair height to person height at the push of a button. Unfortunately, they’re regarded as specially furniture. Sit/ stand desks tend to be expensive, hard to find and not easy to test it in person.
    When you worked standing up, your mind was more excited and new ideas kept coming out. This is because when you’re standing, you feel a bit unchained from your desk. If you got stuck on a word or sentence as you wrote, you found yourself shaking your arms, bouncing on your feet or stepping away from the desk for a bit------ things you couldn’t do in a chair. Often, standing up seemed to relax your mind enough for you to get over creative barriers.
    There’s one other thing about standing for a long time;  you tended to get hungrier than you do when you sit on a chair. That felt like confirmation of the stand-up advocates’ belief that you burn more calories when you stand than when you sit. For this reason alone, I’m hoping that sit/ stand desks one day hit the mainstream, with mass- market furniture companies making many low- priced versions. We could all do with a bit more standing up.
    小题1:We can learn that the adjustable- height desk is_______.
    A．easy to findB．easy to test
    C．relatively cheapD．smart in operation
    小题2:According to para.3, standing up while working ______.
    A．tends to make us much healthier
    B．get us distracted from the work at hand
    C．can make us relaxed and be creative
    D．make us move about and unfocused
    小题3:The underlined word “ unchained” in para.3 means “_______”
    A．freeB．tiredC．uneasyD．Unbalanced
