    The person behind you constantly kicks the back of your seat．Your talkative seatmate doesn’t understand your need for sleep．And the aircraft’s bathroom is a total mess．These situations can make even a short flight unbearable．Hopefully you don’t cause these unpleasant experiences for others．Instead，you can set an example by following these common airplane courtesies．
    Always recline your seat slowly．There’s nothing worse than suddenly being slammed in the knees by the seat in front of you．In addition，don’t keep your seat reclined for the entire flight．Always keep it upright position before going to the restroom（or anytime you leave your seat）．
    Avoid going to the bathroom during mealtime．Wait until the meal is done and all the food trays have been collected．It’s hard for passengers to stand up to let you pass when they still have their food trays．And when using the bathroom，always clean up after your-self-the next user will be grateful!
    Keep your body--and your possessions-to yourself as much as possible so as not to crowd your in-flight seatmate（s）．Share the armrest，especially on a long flight．Also，be careful not to kick or push on the seat in front of you，and don’t allow your children to do so either．
    While some people enjoy chatting with other passengers during a flight，not everyone does．Some people may want to nap，read or work．If the conversation seems one—sided，take the hint．
    If you are traveling with someone and want to chat，keep your voices low．If using electronic gadgets，keep the volume down．People can still hear through your headphones if the volume is too high．
    When exiting the plane，if others are having trouble with their carry-on luggage，help them if you can．If you can’t help，wait patiently，and don’t push past people to get off the airplane．
    On your next flight，remember that it all boils down to the golden rule．Treat others the way you want to be treated !
    72．Which of the following manners we should follow while flying?
    A．Always keep your seat upright during meal time．
    B．Keep your belongings to yourself as much as possible．
    C．Use your headphones and keep the volume down．
    D．All the above．
    73．Where do we most probably read this passage?
    A．a text book                                               B．a newspaper
    C．a magazine                                                 D．a science book
    74．Which of the following word has the closest meaning with the word courtesies?
    A．golden rules            B．manners                  C．experiences             D．passengers
    75．What is the best title of this passage?
    A．Manners in the sky．

Nowadays, millions of lonely singles are now going online instead．The World Wide Web is quickly becoming the world’s most popular matchmaker．With so many singles online, dozens of dating sites like Yahoo Personals and Match．com are helping singles find that special someone．Around the world, from America to China, love is now very much online．
    Singles are flocking to the Internet mainly because their busy lifestyles leave them little time to look for a significant other．Using dating sites is quick and convenient．They can “meet” a lot more people online than they could by hanging out at a club．Besides , many singles say the regular dating scene has just led them from one bad experience to another and are ready to try something else．They also appreciate the first distance of online dating, which allows them to hide themselves until they are ready to meet someone face to face．Dating sites also make it easy to avoid someone you are not interested in．In the real world, however, ignoring someone you don’t like can be awkward．
    Despite all the advantages, online dating also presents its own set of problems．People aren’t always who they claim to be in their online profiles．For instance, someone who tells you he is “handsome, successful and single” might turn out to be homely, unemployed and married．Safety is another concern．You are just as likely to find a criminal online as you are Mr or Miss Right．

    Guard your personal information．Never give out your personal information online．This includes your last name, phone number, home address and place of work．
    Watch for red flags．Do any of the people you are chatting with make disrespectful comments? Do they try to control you? Do they give false information about themselves? If so, forget them!

    Eat, drink and be merry. That’s what Spring Festival is all about. But there are millions of people, too, who love to let happiness go up in smoke.
    Offering cigarettes to guests is a traditional Chinese way of showing respect to them. A cup of tea and cigarettes are perhaps the most common way of welcoming a guest in China, especially during festive occasions.
    No wonder, 40 percent of the people surveyed(调查) recently said they would smoke at least twice the usual number of cigarettes during the Spring Festival because of all those gatherings and parties. Only 20 percent of the respondents said they would refuse a cigarette when offered one. Why can’t the others do the same? Because they could be seen as being rude, said more than half in the respondents. 15 percent feared they could be taken as “someone who cannot get along well with others”.
    The Think-tank Research Centre for Health Development and sohu. com survey shows 61 percent Chinese think offering a cigarette is useful for socialising, and 52 percent have offered cigarettes to others. The study surveyed 3,800 people, and 64 percent of them were men.
    One-third of those surveyed were smokers, out of which 57 percent said they couldn’t give up smoking because of the offering-and-accepting culture. “People have accepted offering cigarettes as an effective way of making friends,” research centre director Wu Yiqun says.
    China has more than 350 million smokers, catering to the tobacco market that is worth 500 billion yuan. “The survey shows we still have a lot of work to do,” Wu says. “It is time to let people know that offering a cigarette is a bad habit and it should be given up immediately.”
    59. The passage is written with the purpose of ________.
    A. telling us a custom about the Chinese Spring Festival
    B. introducing a way to make friends with Chinese
    C. stopping smoking during the Chinese Spring Festival

    60. The third paragraph mainly tells us ________.

    B. the reason why refusing cigarettes is acceptable

    D. it is rude to attend parties without smoking cigarettes
    61. Which of the following may NOT be the reason that makes many people fail to refuse the offered cigarettes?
    A. It’s impolite to refuse.                  B. Smoking is harmful for non-smokers.
    C. They want to be friendly                 D. It’s a kind of social habit.

    Millions of aircraft take off around the world every year. The skies they fly in seem limitless—miles of empty space. But, with the number of flights increasing each year, this emptiness no longer exists. Researchers in the world of aviation（航空）are worried about the increasing pressure on pilots and ground controllers. And increasing collisions, occurring at or near an airport, have called attention to the need for more aids（辅助设备）to aviation control.
    People who travel the skies are not certain about air safety. A great deal of money is spent on new and bigger aircraft and airports to deal with the vast increase in passengers travelling by air. Only a small percentage of this money is spent on navigation（导航）and other aids. Actually, suitable electronic equipment has long existed, and many companies market safety aids designed to make it safer for aircraft to take off, fly any distance, and land, whatever the weather. Yet, there are two problems to be solved. The first is to get governments, airlines and airport officials to agree to basic levels of safety aids. The second problem is to find a way of meeting these basic requirements.
    But no matter how well the equipment works, operators of the equipment still play an important role. Communications between pilots and ground controllers are extremely important to air safety. It is worth pointing out that the mishearing or misunderstanding of instructions in English and the use of another language, in an international conversation, have led to two recent aircraft accidents. A new type of instrument（仪器）called FLIGHTWATCH would help pilots prevent airport collisions. It would be particularly helpful near airports.
    60. The increasing number of flights leads to the fact that ________.
    A. flying is no longer limited in the sky
    B. there is no empty space for aids to aviation control
    C. piloting and controlling planes is getting more difficult
    D. the pressure on the ground becomes greater
    61. There is uncertainty about air safety because ________.
    A. planes become bigger for the increasing number of passengers
    B. money spent on electronic equipment is far from enough
    C. suitable electronic equipment hasn’t been invented yet
    D. it is dangerous for planes to take off or land
    62. The underlined word “collisions” probably means ________.
    A. accidents in which two planes hit each other
    B. misunderstandings between pilots and ground controllers
    C. quarrels among passengers      
    D. breakdowns of new types of instrument
    63. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
    A. governments and officials have paid great attention to air safety
    B. there should be more companies to sell new safety aids
    C. English should be used in an international conversation
    D. understanding between pilots and ground controllers should be improved

    Wily is it that students in less popular majors sometimes find it easier to get a job? Simple. It’s because they are out there in the “blue ocean"，a relatively untouched area.
    The term was created by Chan Kim and Renee Manborgne, two professors
    ho use it to describe less crowded parts of business and industry with little or not completion. It contrasts with the “red ocean", which is already saturated, competitive, and crowded with people or companies providing the same services or producing the same goods.
    According to these two authors，the primary goal of business is to enter the “blue ocean" or create a new market. This is done by creating what no one else has. Business must come up with creative things that are useful and affordable and reduce unnecessary costs. So customers get what they want for less and sellers get a higher return on their investment. When these two are combined，it’s a catalyst(催化剂)for the blue ocean market.
    McDonald’s is a popular example. Traditional restaurants have waiters，table settings，men us，and a certain type of service. McDonald’s，however，was different. It did away entirely with waiters and table service，and kept the menu limited.
    But in its number of locations，speed，overall quality and child friendliness. McD0naid's did far better than traditional restaurants. In this sense，one can say that McDonald’s was a totally different concept in eating out. It met the blue ocean demand.
    63. According to Chan Kim and Renee Mauborgne，“blue ocean” means    .
    A. crowded parts of business and industry with little competition
    B. new markets which are full of competition    .
    C. new companies offering different services from old ones
    D. certain untouched markets with few competitors
    64. The underlined word "saturated” in Para. 2 probably means“         ”.
    A. carry out according to an unusual method      B. arrange in advance
    C. be unable to take any more                D. be different from the old market
    65. McDonald’s success lies in         .
    A. its being different from traditional restaurants
    B. inventing a unique business with few competitors
    C. its advanced operation and management
    D. its best overall quality and services
    66. For a website providing information and services for new mothers，finding the “blue ocean" means         . ·
    A. offering something other websites don’t have
    B. offering the best information and services
    C. creating a new market to help the website stand out
    D. looking for a unique position in the marketplace

    We know almost half the world is urban(都市的) now – but what will our world look like in the year 2100?
    It took about a million years for the global human population to come up to 1 billion in 1800. In the next 200 years, it came up to 6 billion, and it will take only about 20 more years to add another billion. By 2100, the United Nations estimates that the global population will attain more than 10 billion.
    By the end of 2008, slightly less than 50 percent of the global population lived in cities. If economic development proceeds at today’s pace, over the next century or so it is highly likely that 8 billion people will live in urban centers, up from today’s roughly 3.3 billion. Yes, the world will indeed be able to hold so many people. The major reason is urbanization(城市化). There will be many more new cities in the year 2100, and some of today’s large cities will become super cities, including Beijing, Delhi, Mumbai, Sao Paulo, Shanghai and so on. At the same time, recent advances in agriculture, energy, and water technologies suggest that human creations will keep up with population growth. Rural areas will return to an agrarian (农业的)centre to feed the growing cities. Languages will drop from the current 7,000 across the globe to less than a few hundred. English will be the primary language of the world.
    As we compress(压缩) people into the urban center, and as we leave behind the rural areas to feed us – will we really live a happy life at that time? We will have to live together in large buildings in cities and save on energy and services delivery cost. There will be few chances for us to get close to nature. We really need to think about the effect of the things we have done and are doing now!
    1. The underlined word “attain” in the second paragraph probably has the same meaning as “________”
    A. increase      B. gain     C. reach     D. limit
    2.  With the development of urbanization, people in 2100 will have to      .
    A. stay in urban areas and have no chance to get close to nature
    B. develop industry rather than agriculture to create job opportunities
    C. live a poor and unhappy life because there will be less energy to use.
    D. make more creations in agriculture, energy, and water technologies
    3.  What is the author’s attitude towards urbanization?
    A. supportive    B. disappointed   C. surprised    D. worried
    4.  What is the best title for this passage?
    A. Global urbanization in the year 2100
    B. The primary language in the future
    C. Reasons for the rapid increase of population
    D. The development of agriculture in 2100

    Companies can increase the money with which they run their business in a number of ways. One way is borrowing money, and another way is buying things with the agreement that payment would be made later. There are also other processes for providing money for use by a company. Two of these processes are described here.
    One process the company may use is to issue bonds(债券). Bonds are a special kind of promissory note. They are issued in different values, in the forms of money used in different countries, such as the pound in England or the euro in Europe. These bonds can easily be sold again to other people or to other companies. The company that issues the bonds promises to pay a particular amount of money as interest regularly for a certain period of time. This continues until when the company has to pay back the principal(本金) of the bond. Payments of principal and interest must be made on time whether the company has been earning money or not. If these payments are not made on time, it means that the company has not done what it agreed to do and can be sued(控告，起诉).
    Another process companies may use is to issue other forms of promissory notes called stocks(股票). Bonds and stocks are opposite methods of providing money for a company. The people who buy stocks provide money that is earned and take part in deciding how the company will conduct its business. They must also take part in the losses. The people who own stocks receive dividends only after the company has paid all of its debts to the people who own bonds. On the other hand, the persons who own bonds have no right, according to the law, to help decide how the company will handle its business, unless it is bankrupt or in danger of becoming so.
    1. Which of the following statement is not the way for companies to increase their capital?
    A. Borrowing money.                                   B. Buying materials without paying.
    C. Issuing bonds                                       D. Issuing stocks
    2 As to bonds, we know from the passage that ________.
    A. they are cheques like bank notes                   
    B. the company only pays back the principal
    C. they are issued in the forms of money   
    D. if a company is bankrupt, it needn’t pay back the interest
    3. According to this passage, who have the legal control over the decisions of the business?
    A. Stockholders                                          B. Bondholders     
    C. The government                                       D. The workers in the company
    4. It can be inferred from this passage that ________.
    A. to issue bonds is a better way than to issue stocks
    B. stockholders can sue the company when it is bankrupt
    C. bondholders have the same rights as stockholders
    D. investing in stocks has more risk than in bonds

    It’s an age-old saying: Men are from Mars; women are from Venus. Males and females __21_ different behaviors almost from birth.

Studies show men are better at hitting targets and __23__ math problems while women are better at memorizing words and_24__faces. Why the differences?
    A test of the brain’s electrical activity shows that women commonly use both sides of their brain while men rely more on one. Scientists already know that the two sides of the brain control different functions---one controlling the sense of space, __25__, the other controlling language. Some researchers believe that the different ways men and women use their brains _26__from ancient times, when cave men hunted and women cared for the children. Men had to have good aim.

    Women might have a higher position at work, but at home their careers tend to give way to their husband’s job, with women most likely to quit when both are working long hours, according to a U．S．study．
    Researcher Youngjoo Cha, from Cornell University, found that working women with a husband who worked 50 hours or more a week found themselves still doing most of the housework and the care giving and were more likely to end up quitting their jobs．
    An analysis of 8,484 professional workers and 17,648 nonprofessionals from dual-earner （双职工） families showed that if women had a husband who worked 60 hours or more per week it increased the woman’s possibility of quitting her paid job by 42 percent．Cha said the possibility of quitting increased to 51 percent for professional women whose husbands work 60 hours or more per week, and for professional mothers the possibility they would quit their jobs jumped 112 percent．
    However, it did not significantly affect a man’s possibility of quitting his job if his wife worked 60 hours or more per week, according to the study published in the American Sociological Review in April．For professional men, both parents and non-parents, the effects of a wife working long hours were negligible, according to the study．
    “As long work-hours introduce conflict between work and family into many dual-earner families, couples often solve conflict in ways that prioritize husbands’ careers,” Cha, who used data from the U．S．Census Bureau, said in a statement．“This effect is magnified （突出） among workers in professional and managing occupations, where the criterion of overwork and the culture of looking after children tend to be strongest．The findings suggest that the popularity of overwork may lead many dual-earner couples to return to a traditional family pattern — breadwinning men and homemaking women．”
    66．According to the text, we know that ______．
    A．men prefer work long hours   B．women prefer to work outside
    C．men’s careers are unimportant    D．women are more likely to quit jobs
    67．The underlined word “negligible” in Paragraph 4 most probably means ______．
    A．unimportant  B．limited            C．different      D．obvious
    68．Which statement is true according to the text?
    A．When there’s conflict between work and family, a husband will give up his work．
    B．Women may still do most of the housework and care for babies or children．
    C．Professional women are more likely to quit the job than professional mothers．
    D．A man’s chance of quitting jobs was influenced if his wife works long hours．
    69．We can infer from the last sentence that ______．
    A．all the workers pay more attention to looking after children
    B．overwork may have no influence on dual-earner couples
    C．traditionally, men usually worked to support the family
    D．most dual-earner couples will return to a traditional family pattern
    70．In which column of China Daily can you find this passage?
    A．Health      B．Life       C．Sport    D．Entertainment
