13．Equipped only with a pair of binoculars （雙筒望遠鏡）and ready to spend long hours waiting in all weathers for a precious glance of a rare bullfinch （紅腹灰雀），Britain's birdwatchers had long been supposed to be lovers of a minority sport．But new figures show birdwatching is fast becoming a popular pastime，with almost three million of us absorbed in our fluttering feathered friends．
     Devoted birdwatchers，those prepared to travel thousands of miles for a sighting of a rare Siberian bird，are fast being joined by a new breed of follower whose interest is satiated  by watching a few finches （雀科鳴鳥） on a Sunday walk or putting up a bird-box in the back garden．
"Almost three million UK birdwatchers is certainly possible if you include everyone with only a casual interest，"Stephen Moss said in his newly published book--A Bird in the Bush：a Social History of Bird watching--which records the pursuit from the rich Victorian Englishman's love of shooting rare birds to the less offensive observational tendencies of birdwatchers today．
     Television wildlife programmes have helped to fuel the new trend．Last summer，BBC 2's Britain Goes Wild was a surprise success．It pulled in three million viewers and led to bird-houses selling out across the UK as 45，000 people promised to put up a box．
     Birdwatchers'networking system first came to the attention of the nation in l989，when a birdwatcher caught sight of the first Vermivora chrysoptera-a golden-winged songbird from North America-to be seen in Britain．He put a message out on the network service Birdline，and the next day 3，000 birdwatchers proved the full pull of a truly rare bird as they visited the Tesco car park in Kent，where it had settled．Today，birdwatchers can log on to www．birdline．co．uk or have news of the latest sightings texted to their phones．
"Multimillion-pound spending on binoculars，bird food and boxes point to the increasing numbers of birdwatchers，"said David Cromack，the editor of Bird Watching magazine．"The number of people involved is so big that they have great potential to influence government decisions affecting the environment．"

32．The word"satiated"in paragraph 2 can best be replaced by"C"．
A．a(chǎn)ffected               B．shared                C．satisfied            D．narrowed
33．What happened after the message of seeing a Vermivora chrysoptera was put on the network？B
A．Birdwatchers helped the rare bird settle in Kent．
B．Large numbers of birdwatchers went to view the bird．
C．Many birdwatchers logged on to the website for details．
D．Birdwatchers showed their determination to protect the rare bird．
34．Which of the following CANNOT be true according to the passage？A
A．Television wildlife programmes started the popular pastime of birdwatching．
B．The network service has contributed to the rapid development of birdwatching．
C．Birdwatching in Britain was long considered a sport with a small group of followers．
D．The current situation of birdwatching may promote the protection of the environment．
35．The passage mainly tells us aboutBin UK．
A．the history of birdwatching                   
B．a(chǎn) growing passion for birdwatching
C．the impact of media on birdwatching
D．birdwatching as a popular expensive sport．

分析 這篇短文主要講述了在英國人們對鳥類進行觀察的熱情越來越高．

解答 32-35．CBAB
32題答案：C 考查詞義猜測，根據(jù)前面的…being joined by a new breed of follower．（一群新的追隨者加入到觀鳥者的隊伍中） 可知他們有著相同的愛好--觀鳥，觀鳥能夠讓他們的興趣得到"滿足"；故可猜測出這個詞的意思是"令人滿意的"，因此本題答案為C選項．
33題答案：B 考查細節(jié)推理，根據(jù)第四段"It pulled in three million viewers and led to bird-houses selling out across the UK as 45 000 people promised to put up a box．"（它吸引了三百萬游客而且導(dǎo)致了英國鳥巢全部賣光了，因為45000人承諾說他們要搭建一個鳥籠）可判斷出引來了大量觀察鳥的人，因此本題答案為B選項．
34題答案：A 考查細節(jié)推理，根據(jù)第四段"Television wildlife programmes have helped to fuel the new trend．"（電視野生動物節(jié)目促進了新的趨勢）可判斷出選項A是錯誤的．
35題答案：B考查主旨大意，這篇短文主要講述了在英國人們對鳥類進行觀察的熱情越來越高；故本題答案為B選項．

4．Across Britain，burnt toast will be served to mothers in bed this morning as older sons and daughters rush to deliver their supermarket bunches of flowers．But，according to a new study，we should be placing a higher value on motherhood all year．
Mothers have long known that their home workload was just as heavy as paid work．Now，the new study has shown that if they were paid for their parental labours，they would earn as much as£172，000a year．
The study looked at the range of jobs mothers do，as well as the hours they are working，to determine the figure．This would make their yearly income£30，000more than the Prime Minister earns．
By analyzing the numbers，it found the average mother works 119hours a week，40of which would usually be paid at a standard rate 79hours as overtime．After questioning 1，000mothers with children under 18，it found that，on most days，mums started their routine work at 7am and finished at around 11pm．
To calculate just how much mothers would earn from that labour，it suggested some of the roles that mums could take on，including housekeeper，part-time lawyer，personal trainer and entertainer．Being a part-time lawyer，at£48，98an hour，would prove to be the most profitable of the"mum jobs"，with psychologist（心理學(xué)家） a close second．
It also asked mothers about the challenges they face，with 80per cent making emotional（情感的） demand as the hardest thing about motherhood．
Over a third of mums felt they needed more training and around half said they missed going out with friends．
The study shows mothers matter all year long and not just on Mother's Day．The emotional，physical and mental energy mothers devote to their children can be never-ending，but children are also sources of great joy and happiness．Investing（投入） in time for parenting and raising relationships is money well spent．

41．How much would a mother earn a year if working as the Prime Minister？B
A．£30，000．B．£142，000．
C．£172，000．C．£202，000．
42．The biggest challenge for most mothers is fromA．
A．emotional demand
B．low pay for work
C．heavy workload
D．lack of training
43．What is stressed in the last paragraph？B
A．mothers'importance shows in family all year long．
B．The sacrifices mothers make are huge but worthwhile．
C．Mothers'devotion to children can hardly be calculated．
D．Investing time in parenting would bring a financial return．
44．What can we conclude from the study？C
A．Mothers'working hours should be largely reduced．
B．Mothers should balance their time for work and rest．
C．Mothers'labour is of a higher value than it is realized．
D．Mothers should be freed from housework for social life．

8．The foundation of any relationship，whether it be with a business associate，couple，client，parent or friend，is trust．Trust is not something that can be built with quick techniques．It is something that comes into being gradually in your communication．（36）D
Be transparent．
Do not try to hide things from others．You might think you can pull a fast one on someone else．You can't．Most people have good intuition （直覺） and even though they may not be able to consciously determine that you are hiding something，they very likely will have an uneasy feeling around you．（37）B
Be sincere．
This is similar to the previous point．（38）F Don't give fake compliments or say something just because you think you are supposed to．Everyone loves authenticity．When others know that you only speak genuinely，it increases their capacity to trust you．
（39）C
Ever since we were little children，we have been taught to be respectful．Always remember that every human being is entitled to （擁有權(quán)利） be treated with respect．When people know that you will always respect them，it is very natural for trust to increase．
Take responsibility．
When you make a mistake，be quick to clean it up．（40）GBut it does nothing for your character or the level of trust you are given in the long run．On the contrary，responsibility will win yu trust from others．

B．If they don't feel comfortable around you，they won't be able to trust you．

18．Given that many people's moods （情緒）are regulated by the chemical action of chocolate，it was probably only a matter of time before somebody made the chocolate shop similar to a drugstore of Chinese medicine．Looking like a setting from the film Charlie & the Chocolate Factory，Singapore's Chocolate Research Facility （CRF） has over 100 varieties of chocolates．Its founder is Chris Lee who grew up at his parents'comer store with one hand almost always in the jar of sweets．

The CRF's produce is"green"，made within the country and divided into 10 lines，with the Alcohol Series being the most popular．The Exotic Series一with Sichuan pepper，red bean （豆）．cheese and other flavors一also does well and is fun to taste．And for chocolate snobs，who think that they have a better knowledge of chocolate than others，the Connoisseur Series uses cocoa beans from Togo，Cuba，Venezuela，and Ghana，among others．

29．What is good about chocolate？C
A．It serves as a suitable gift．
B．It works as an effective medicine．
