第四部分：阅读理解(每题2分，共40分)
A
Margaret, married with two small children, has been working for the last seven years as a night cleaner, cleaning offices in a big building.
She trained as a nurse, but had to give it up when her elder child became seriously ill. "I would have liked to go back to it, but the shifts (工作班次) are all wrong for me, as I have to be home to get the children up and off to school."
So she works as a cleaner instead, from 9 p.m. till
The hours she's chosen to work mean that she sees plenty of the children, but very little of her husband. However, she doesn't think that puts any pressure on their relationship.
Her work isn't physically very hard, but it's not exactly pleasant, either. "I do get angry with people who leave their offices like a place for raising pigs. If they realized people like me have to do it, perhaps they'd be a bit more careful."
The fact that she's working all night doesn't worry Margaret at all. Unlike some dark buildings at night, the building where she works is fully lit, and the women work in groups of three. "Since I've got to be here, I try to enjoy myself- and I usually do, because of the other girls. We all have a good laugh, so the time never drags."
Another challenge Margaret has to face is fine reaction of other people when she tells them what she does for a living. "They think you're a cleaner because you don't knowhow to read and write," said Margaret, "I used to think what my parents would say if they knew what I'd been doing, but I don't think that way any more. I don't dislike the work though I can't say I'm mad about it."
50. Margaret quit her job as a nurse because________.
A. she wanted to earn more money to support her family
B. she had suffered a lot of mental pressure
C. she needed the right time to look after her children
D. she felt tired of taking care of patients
57. Margaret gets angry with people, who work in the office because
A. they never clean their offices
B. they look down upon cleaners
C. they never do their work carefully
D. they always make a mess in their offices
58. When at work, Margaret feels________.
A. light-hearted because of her fellow workers
B. happy because the building is fully lit
C. tired because of the heavy, workload
D. bored because time passes slowly
59. The underlined part in the last paragraph implies that Margaret's parents would________.
A. help care for her children B. regret what they had said
C. show sympathy for her D. feel disappointed in her
B
Federal regulators Wednesday approved a plan to create a nationwide emergence alert (警报) system using text messages delivered to cell phones.
Text messages have exploded in popularity in recent years, particularly among young people. The wireless industry's trade association, CTIA, estimates (估计) more than 48billion text messages are sent each month.
The plan comes from the Warning Alert and Response Network Act, a 2006 federal law that requires improvements to the nation's emergency alert system. The act tasked the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) with coming up with new ways to alert the public about emergencies.
"The, ability to deliver accurate and timely warnings and alerts through cell phone sand other mobile services is an important next step in our efforts to help ensure that the American public has the information they need to take action to protect themselves and their families before, and during, disasters and other emergencies," FCC Chairman Kevin Martin said following approval of the plan.
Participation in the alert system by carriers -telecommunications companies is voluntary, but it has received solid support from the wireless industry.
The program would be optional for cell phone users. They also may not be charged for receiving alerts.
There would be three different types of messages, according to the rules.
The first would be a national alert from the president, likely involving a terrorist attack or natural disaster. The second would involve "approaching threats," which could include natural disasters like hurricanes or storms or even university shootings. The third would be reserved for child abduction (绑架) emergencies, or so-called Amber Alerts.
The service could be in place by 2010.
60. What is the purpose of the approved plan?
A. To warn people of emergencies via messages.
B. To popularize the use of cell phones.
C. To estimate the monthly number of messages.
D. To promote the wireless industry.
61. The improvement to the present system is in the charge of________.
A. CTIA B the Warning Alert and Response Network
C. FCC D. federal regulators
62. An alert message will NOT be sent if________.
A. a child loses his way
B. a university shooting happens
C. a natural disaster happens
D. a terrorist attack occurs
63. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A. Cell Phone Alerts Protecting Students
B. Cell Phone Alerts by Wireless Industry
C. Cell Phone Alerts of National Disasters
D. Cell Phone Alerts Coming Soon
C
Dear Alice,
My name is Lisa. I have social anxiety, disorder and was wondering how it would be possible to see someone for help without my parents knowing about it. I know that they'd be anything but supportive. They would think I'm absolutely out of my mind. The truth is, I've put off dealing with it, acting as if it'll just go away or that I'll outgrow it. But in reality, the older I'm getting, the worse I'm getting. I avoid as many social situations as I can. I completely panic when meeting new people, I only stay in classes that don't require any talking on my part. It seems the only place I'm actually happy is at home or with people that I've known all my life. Hope you can help!
Dear Lisa,
About 5 million Americans have some form of social anxiety disorder, also known as social phobia. While everyone experiences nervousness or fear in social situations to a certain extent, those with social anxiety disorder are weakened by their fear. They may have a constant, intense, and lasting fear of being watched and judged by others, or be terribly afraid of being embarrassed or laughed at by ways in which they behave. As you have described, this fear can prevent people with social anxiety disorder from doing everyday activities, such as going to school or work, and can become so much of a focus that they limit their socializing.
It's understandable that you are worried about how your parents might react to knowing what's been going on for you. Many people think that their families will blame them for how they're feeling or belittle their concerns. Being honest with your parents, however, might help you to feel more at ease; it's possible that they've noticed your behavior and wondered about it, or even struggled with similar feelings themselves. There's even some evidence that anxiety disorders may be genetic or run in families ―perhaps due to environmental factors and patterns expressed through interpersonal interactions.
64. The problem of Lisa is that________.
A. She is not getting along well with her parents.
B. She becomes nervous meeting people
C. She always puts off dealing with her problems.
D. She fears social occasions
65. According to Lisa, her parents________.
A. has never supported her
B. are eager to know what's going on for her
C. are perhaps struggling with similar feelings
D. may criticize her for her trouble
66. In her letter,
A. the possible causes of Lisa's problem
B. the effects of social phobia
C. people's attitudes towards nervousness
D. everyone's experience of social anxiety disorder
67. The underlined word "belittle" probably means________.
A. express B. hide C. ignore D. worry
D
We can see how the product life cycle works by looking at the introduction of instant(速溶) coffee. When it was introduced, most people did not like it as well as "regular" coffee, and it took several years to gain general acceptance (introduction stage).At one point, though, instant coffee grew rapidly in popularity, and many brands were introduced (stage of rapid growth). After a while, people became attached to one brand and sales leveled off (stage of maturity). Sales went into a slight decrease when freeze-dried coffees were introduced (stage of decline).
The importance of the product life cycle to marketers is this: Different stages in the product life cycle call for different strategies. The goal is to extend product life so that sales and profits do not drop. One strategy is called market modification. It means that marketing managers look for new users and market sections. Did you know, for example, that the backpacks that so many students carr3 today were originally designed for the soldiers？
Market modification also means searching for increased usage among present customers or going for a different market, such as senior citizens. A marketer may re-position the product to appeal to new market sections.
Another product extension strategy is called product modification. It involves changing product quality, features, or style to attract new users or more usage from present users. American auto manufacturers are using quality improvement as one way to regain world markets. Note, also, how auto manufacturers once changed styles eagerly from year to year to keep demand from falling.
68. The first paragraph tells us that a new product is ________.
A. not easily accepted by the public
B. often of poorer quality compared with old ones
C. often more expensive than old ones
D. usually introduced to satisfy different tastes
69. Marketers need to know which of the four stages a product is in so as to________.
A. promote its production
B. work out marketing plans
C. speed up its life cycle
D. increase its popularity
70. The author mentions the example of "backpacks" (Para.2) to show the importance of________.
A. pleasing the young as well as the old
B. increasing usage among students
C. exploring new market sections
D. finding creative product designers
71. In order to attract more consumers,
A. modernizing product style
B. increasing product features
C. developing products of better quality
D. re-positioning their product in the market

George, when your big brother and your little dog and I walked you up to school today, you had no idea how I was feeling.
You were so excited. You had packed and unpacked your pencils and safety scissors in your backpack a dozen times. I am really going to miss those lazy mornings when we waved your brother and sister off to school.
Because you are my youngest, I had learned a few things by the time you came along. I found out that the seemingly endless days of babyhood are gone like lightning. I blinked(眨眼), and your older siblings(兄弟姐妹) were setting off for school as eagerly as you did this morning, I was one of the lucky ones; I could choose whether to work or not. By the time it was your turn. the shining prizes of career advancement and a double income had lost their brightness. A splash(溅水) in the pool with you in your bright red boots or "just one more" rereading of your favorite book, Frog and Toad Are Friends, meant more. You didn't go to preschool and I hope that doesn't hold you back. You learned numbers by helping me count the soda cans we returned to the store.
I have to admit that in my mind's eye, an image of myself while you're in school has developed, I see myself updating all the photo albums and starting that novel I always wanted to write. As the summer wound down and more frequent quarrels erupted between you and your siblings, I was looking forward to today. And then this morning, I walked you up the steep hill to your classroom and you gave me one of your characteristically fierce, too-tight hugs. This time you were ready to let go before I was.
Maybe someday you will deliver a kindergartner to the first day of school. When you turn at the door to wave good-bye, he or she will be too deep in conversation with a new friend to notice. Even as you smile, you'll feel something warm on your cheek...
72.What does the underlined sentence mean in the third paragraph?
A. When you reach the school age
B. When you decide whether to work or not
C. When you were born
D. When you have your own, family
73.Which sentence from the passage best describes how the writer felt on that morning?
A. An image of myself while you're in school has developed.
B. I was looking forward to today.
C. I was one of the lucky ones.
D. This time you were ready to let go before I was.
74.Which statement is NOT true about George's family according to the letter?
A. George's parents gave birth to three children
B. The Georges is a double income family
C. They recycle soda cans
D. The children had more arguments during the summer
75.The passage tries to show us ________.
A. how excited a child will be on his first day to school
B. how deeply a mother loves her child
C. how many efforts a mother has made to raise a child
D. how a mother plans her future life after her children go to school
