2.2】選C。邏輯推理題。在卡片的背面, 有草草的手寫的“信息”, 字都退色了。message一般指口頭傳遞的或書寫的信息, 是可數(shù)名詞。D項通常指消息、情報、資料等, 是不可數(shù)名詞, 故排除。
3.3】選D。邏輯推理題?吹娇ㄆ系膬(nèi)容, 作者的思緒立刻“回”到了多年以前。

11.1】選A。詞語辨析題。他們將車“停”在一家鞋店前。pull up“停車, 停止”, 符合題意。后三項分別表示“理解, 吸收”、“開走”、“走近”, 都不符合語境。

When I started my career in management, I was really green, but I always tried to stay positive on the job. I was working for a new company that was having a difficult time with its customers. Actually, at one point my General Manager told me he liked me and suggested I should start looking for a new job as we were about to lose our only order. Every day we faced people leaving the company, customers complaining, and upper management preparing to close the place.
One night, I went home thinking about the problems. My wife told me to forget about work and see a movie. We went and saw Slumdog Millionaire. Jamal, an eighteen-year-old Indian young man, is from a poor family and becomes rich later. He tries his best to change his position. I realized what we needed to do was to correct the situation.
The next day I called my customers to have a talk. I promised to do my best to solve the problems if they would give us some time. As a result, we were given one month to turn the situation around. This was our only chance to correct the situation. To achieve this, I worked day and night with my team. I can remember working from 6 a. m. and not going home until 2 a. m. the next day.
To make a long story short, we succeeded in solving all of the problems and at the same time increased our productivity(生產(chǎn)率). The customers and management were very happy, and I knew at that moment we had saved our jobs. Actually things went so well that we ended up having our pay doubled.
Through this experience I understand that you can achieve what you desire as long as you work at it and stay positive.

Although considered an excellent exercise, jumping rope has never received widespread acceptance because of two reasons. First, most people recognize jumping rope as an excellent form of cardiovascular(心血管的)exercise, but they also believe that it is simply too difficult. In other words, they don’t think they’ll be able to continue jumping for the near 20 minutes in order to achieve a beneficial physical effect. Second, many regard it as somewhat boring and overly repetitive(重復(fù)乏味的)—not as something fun or enjoyable.
As a matter of fact, jumping rope can be great fun as long as you find a proper way to practise it. Instead of doing the usual two-foot bounce(跳)over and over again, players good at rope-jumping often change their pattern every 10 or 20 jumps: a single bounce, a double-bounce, a skip, a knee-up, side swings, as well as a variety of other easy-to-learn free-style rope-jumping.
Nowadays researchers are discovering that jumping rope also prepares the brain for learning. It is an exercise allowing both brain hemispheres(半球)to perform equally to each other.
In short, jumping rope can be a life-long activity requiring little equipment, time and space, yet leading to a much healthier life.
1. One reason that can explain why rope-jumping has not spread widely is that
.
A. it benefits the cardiovascular system
B. it is too difficult for people to learn to jump
C. it is believed to be boring and repetitive
D. it requires little equipment, time and space
2. The first sentence in Paragraph 2 means that in rope-jumping.
A. there is only one proper way to follow
B. the usual way should not be used again
C. the easiest way is always the best one
D. there are different kinds of ways to follow
3.According to the researchers, jumping rope .
A. only prepares the brain for learning
B. is suitable for students only
C. helps both brain hemispheres work together
D. can be dangerous for old people
4.What does the writer think of rope-jumping?
A. He is strongly against it.
B. He is for it.
C. The passage doesn’t mention it.
D. He knows little about it.

In the future your automobile will run on water instead of gas! You will be able to buy a supercomputer that fits in your pocket! You might even drive a flying car!
For each prediction that has come true today, several others have missed by a mile. Many of these predictions didn’t consider how people would want to use the technology, or whether people really needed it in their lives or not. Let’s look at some predictions from the not-too-distant past.
Robot Helpers
Where’s the robot in my kitchen? Nowhere, of course. And he’s probably not coming anytime soon. Robots do exist today, but mostly in factories and other manufacturing environments.
Back in the 1950s, however, people said that by now personal robots would be in most people’s homes.
So why hasn’t it happened? Probably because robots are still too expensive and clumsy. And maybe the idea of robots cooking our dinners and washing our clothes is just too weird. At home we seem to be doing fine without them.
Telephones of Tomorrow
In 1964 an American company introduced the video telephone. They said by the year 2000 most people would have a video phone in their homes. But of course the idea hasn’t caught on yet.
Why? The technology worked fine, but it over-looked something obvious: people’s desire for privacy. Would you want to have a video phone conversation with someone after you just step out of the shower? Probably not—it could be embarrassing! Just because a technology available doesn’t always mean people will want to use it.
And finally, how about that crazy prediction of the flying car? It’s not so crazy anymore! But a flying car remains one of the most fascinating technology ideas to capture our imagination. Keep watching the news, or perhaps the sky outside your window, to see what the future will bring.
1.The whole passage is mainly about .
A. predictions that have come true
B. predictions that haven’t come true
C. why predictions don’t come true easily
D. what technology will bring about
2. The author of this passage won’t believe that .
A. predictions needn’t consider people’s practical use of technology
B. the future isn’t always easy to guess
C. not all past predictions have come true
D. many of the high-tech things our parents thought we’d be using by now simply never appeared
3.The underlined word “weird” in Para. 5 probably means .
A. wonderful B. stupid
C. practicalD. strange
4.What does the author think of the flying car?
A. It is too difficult to imagine.
B. It is too crazy an idea.
C. It is likely to be made.
D. It is often reported in the news.

Our culture is the system we use to build our identity. All living creatures are part of a culture. Even animals have a culture! So what is culture? It’s the way we behave in a group. It begins with each individual family. Within our families we do things to build relationships with each other. This can include routines for doing things. It also includes traditions. Traditions are activities that are repeated on a regular basis.
Culture is not limited to individual family groups. The real strength of culture is in larger community (社會)groups. These larger groups are called societies. Every society makes rules for itself. It decides how people should act in different situations. Some of these rules are written down. Some are just things that are automatically expected of all members of that society. Often, cultures can be identified(識別)by what the people believe. Cultures are also known by what they choose to include in their art. Sometimes a society forms around people who speak the same language. Cultures may also be known for their customs, including the foods they make and the things they do.
Our cultures help us understand who we are and what we believe. There are very strong emotions(情感)connecting us to our own society. Two different cultures may disagree on something, especially if they both feel strongly about it. When that happens, war is a common result. People are learning better ways to communicate with each other. The more we learn, the more we appreciate the differences in cultures.
1.Which of the following is not true?
A.Every society has its own culture.
B.Every one with an identity card has his own culture.
C.Animals have their cultures.
D.Culture and traditions are connected.
2.Which of the following has nothing to do with culture according to the passage?
A.A religion that a certain people practice
B.Greetings sent to people we love during spring festival
C.Face-changing in Sichuan Opera
D.Someone’s personal habit of staying up very late
3.Which of the following is true?
A.Modern societies have written down all the rules for behavior.
B.Plants themselves have no culture.
C.Disagreement between two societies always leads to war.
D.Strong emotions that connect us to our society should be got rid of.
4.We can infer from the passage that ______.
A.cultural exchanges may help reduce the risk of war
B.all disagreements are caused by strong feelings
C.differences in culture always cause disagreements
D.people haven’t tried different ways to communicate
