第一节：阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。

A

Wealth starts with a goal saving a dollar at a time. Call it the piggy bankstrategy(策略). There are lessons in that time-honored coin-saving container. Any huge task seems easier when reduced to baby steps. I f you wished to climb a 12,000-foot mountain, and could do it a day at a time, you would only have to climb 33 feet daily to reach the top in a year. If you want to take a really nice trip in 10 years for a special occasion, to collect the $15,000 cost, you have to save $3.93 a day. If you drop that into a piggy bank and then once a year put $1,434 in a savings account at 1% interest rate after-tax, you will have your trip money.

When I was a child, my parents gave me a piggy bank to teach me that, if I wanted something, I should save money to buy it. We associate piggy banks with children, but in many countries, the little containers are also popular with adults. Europeans see a piggy bank as a sign of good fortune and wealth.

Around the world, many believe a gift of a piggy bank on New Year’s Day brings good luck and financial success. Ah, but you have to put something init.

Why is a pig used as a symbol of saving? Why not an elephant bank, which is bigger and holds more coins? In the Middle Ages, before modern banking and credit instruments, people saved money at home, a few coins at a time dropped into a jar or dish. Potters(制陶工) made these inexpensive containersfrom an orange-colored clay(黏土) called “pygg,” and folks saved coins inpygg jars. The Middle English word for pig was “pigge”. While the Saxonspronounced pygg, referring to the clay, as “pug”, eventually the two wordschanged into the same pronunciation, sounding the “i” as in pig or piggy. Asthe word became less associated with the orange clay and more with theanimal, a clever potter fashioned a pygg jar in the shape of a pig, delightingchildren and adults. The piggy bank was born.

Originally you had to break the bank to get to the money, bringing in a sense of seriousness into savings. While piggy banks teach children the wisdom of saving, adults often need to relearn childhood lessons. Think about the things in life that require large amounts of money--- college

education, weddings, cars, medical care, starting a business, buying a home, and fun stuff like great trips. So when you have money, take off the top 10%, put it aside, save and invest wisely. 41. What is the piggy bank strategy?

A. Paying 1% income tax at a time.

B. Setting a goal before making a travel plan. C. Aiming high even when doing small things.

D. Putting aside a little money regularly for future use.

42. Why did the writer’s parents give him a piggy bank as a gift?

A. To delight him with the latest fashion. B. To encourage him to climb

mountains.

C. To help him form the habit of saving. D. To teach him English pronunciation.

43. What does then underlined word “something”(Paragraph 3) mostprobably refer to?

A. Money B. Gifts

C. Financial success D. Good luck44. The piggy ban originally was _________.

A. a potter’s instrument B. a cheap clay container

C. an animal-shaped dish D. a pig-like toy for children45. The last paragraph talks about ________.

A. the seriousness of educating children B. the enjoyment of taking a great trip

C. the importance of managing money D. the difficulty of starting a business

B

Here is some must-know information from a handbook on how peoplebehave in doing business in some countries.In Brazil

Brazilians are warm and friendly. They often stand close when talking and itis common for them to touch the person on the shoulder. People often greeteach other (particularly women) with light cheek kisses. Schedules tend to beflexible, with business meetings sometimes starting later than planned. But tobe safe, be on time. Meals can stretch for hours—there’s no such thing asrushing a meal in Brazil. Lunches also can start in the mid to late afternoon.Brazilians are social, preferring face-to-face communication over mails orphone calls.In Singapore

Singaporeans shake hands when they meet and often also greet each otherwith a small, polite bow. Business cards should be offered and received withtwo hands. Arriving late is considered disrespectful. So be on time.Efficiency(效率) is the goal, so meetings and dealings often are fast-paced.Singaporeans are direct in their discussions, even when the subject is aboutmoney. Rank is important and authority is respected. This determines bothpeople interact in meetings. For example, people avoid disagreeing outrightwith someone with a higher rank.In the United Arab Emirates

In the UAE, status is important, so the most senior or oldest should begreeted first with their titles. The handshake seems to be longer thanelsewhere. So, do not pull away the handshake. Women should cover

themselves when it comes to dress. Men also tend to be covered from neck toelbows(肘部) and down to the knees. People do not avoid entertaining intheir homes, but they also hold business meals at restaurants. Touching orpassing food or eating with your left hand is to be avoided. When meetingsare one-to-one, if your host offers you coffee, you should refuse. It mightseem odd, but it is a cultural tradition. Coffee should only be accepted if it isalways set out or presented.In Switzerland

The Swiss tend to be formal and address each other by last name. They alsoare respectful of private lives. You should be careful not to ask aboutpersonal topics. Punctuality (守时) is vital, something that comes from a deeprespect for others’ time. Arrive at any meeting or event a few minutes early tobe safe. They also have clear structure in their companies. Higher-ups makethe final decisions, even if others might disagree. Neat, clean dress is

expected. The Swiss follow formal table manners. They also keep their handsvisible at the table and their elbows off the table. It is polite to finish the food

on your plate.

46. The passage is mainly about ________.

A. communication types B. the workplace atmosphere C. customs and social manners D. living conditions and standards47. Why do Singaporeans avoid arguing with their boss? A. They put efficiency in the first place. B. They dislike face-to-face communication.

C. They want to finish meetings as quickly as possible. D. They are supposed to obey the person of a higher rank.

48. In the UAE, when should you refuse the coffee if it is offered?

A. When greeting seniors. B. When meeting the host alone. C. When attending a presentation. D. When dining with business partners.

49. In which country do people care about where to put their hands at thedinner table?

A. In Brazil. B. In Singapore.

C. In the United Arab Emirate. D. In Switzerland.

Last summer, two nineteenth-century cottages were rescued from remote farm fields in Montana, to be moved to an Art Deco building in San

Francisco. The houses were made of wood. These cottages once housed early settlers as they worked the dry Montana soil; now they hold Twitter engineers.

The cottages could be an example of the industry’ s odd love affair with “low technology,” a concept associated with the natural world, and with old-school craftsmanship (手艺) that exists long before the Internet era. Lowtechnology is not virtual (虚拟的) —so, to take advantage of it, Internetcompanies have had to get creative. The rescued wood cottages, fitted by

hand in the late eighteen-hundreds, are an obvious example, but Twitter’sdesigns lie on the extreme end. Other companies are using a broaderinterpretation (阐释) of low technology that focuses on nature.

Amazon is building three glass spheres filled with trees, so that employees can “work and socialize in a more natural, park-like setting.” At Google’s office, an entire floor is carpeted in glass. Facebook’s second Menlo Park campus will have a rooftop park with a walking trail.

Olle Lundberg, the founder of Lundberg Design, has worked with many tech companies over the years. “We have lost the connection to the maker in our lives, and our tech engineers are the ones who feel impoverished (贫乏的) , because they’re surrounded by the digital world,” he says. “They’relooking for a way to regain their individual identity, and we’ve found thatintroducing real crafts is one way to do that.”

This craft based theory is rooted in history, William Morris, the English artist and writer, turned back to pre-industrial arts in the eighteen-sixties, just after the Industrial Revolution. The Arts and Crafts movement defined itself against machines. “Without creative human occupation, people became disconnected from life,” Morris said.

Research has shown that natural environments can restore(恢复) our mentalcapacities. In Japan, patients are encouraged to “forest-bathe,” taking walksthrough woods to lower their blood pressure.

These health benefits apply to the workplace as well. Rachel Kaplvin, a professor of environmental psychology, has spent years researching the restorative effects of natural environment. Her research found that workers with access to nature at the office—even simple views of trees and flowers—felt their jobs were less stressful and more satisfying. If low-tech offices can potentially nourish the brains and improve the mental health of employees then, fine, bring on the cottages.

50. The writer mentions the two nineteenth-century cottages to show that________.

A. Twitter is having a hard time

B. old cottages are in need of protection

C. early settlers once suffered from a dry climate in Montana

D. Internet companies have rediscovered the benefits of low technology51. Low technology is regarded as something that _______. A. is related to nature B. is out of date today

C. consumes too much energy D. exists in the virtual world52. The main idea of Paragraph 5 is that human beings ________. A. have destroyed many pre-industrial arts B. have a tradition of valuing arts and crafts C. can become intelligent by learning history

D. can regain their individual identity by using machines

53. The writer’s attitude to “low technology” can best be described as________.

A. positive B. defensive C. cautious D. doubtful54. What might be the best title for the passage? A. Past Glories, Future Dreams B. The Virtual World, the Real Challenge C. High-tech Companies, Low-tech Offices D. The More Craftsmanship, the Less CreativityD

A city child’s summer is spent in the street in front of his home, and all through the long summer vacations I sat on the edge of the street and watched enviously the other boys on the block play baseball. I was never asked to take part even when one team had a member missing—not out of special cruelty, but because they took it for granted I would be no good at it. They were right,

of course.

I would never forget the wonderful evening when something changed. The baseball ended about eight or eight thirty when it grew dark. Then it was the custom of the boys to retire to a little stoop(门廊) that stuck out from thecandy store on the corner and that somehow had become theirs. No grownupever sat there or attempted to. There the boys would sit, mostly talking aboutthe games played during the day and of the game to be played tomorrow.Then long silences would fall and the boys would wander off one by one. Itwas just after one of those long silences that my life as an outsider changed. Ican no longer remember which boy it was that summer evening who brokethe silence with a question: but whoever he was, I nod to him gratefully now.“What’s in those books you’re always reading?” he asked casually. “Stories,”I answered. “What kind?” asked somebody else without much interest. Nor do I know what drove me to behave as I did, for usually I just sat there in silence, glad enough to be allowed to remain among them; but instead of answering his question, I told them for two hours the story I was reading at the moment. The book was Sister Carrie. They listened bug-eyed and breathless. I must have told it well, but I think there was another and deeper reason that made them to keep an audience. Listening to a tale being told in the dark is one of the most ancient of man’s entertainments, but I was offering them as well, without being aware of doing it, a new and exciting experience.

The books they themselves read were the Rover Boys or Tom Swift orG.A. Henty. I had read them too, but at thirteen I had long since left thembehind. Since I was much alone I had become an enthusiastic reader and Ihad gone through the books-for-boys series. In those days there was noreading material between children’s and grownups’ books or I could findnone. I had gone right from Tome Swift and His Flying Machine to Theodore

Dreiser and Sister Carrie. Dreiser had hit my young mind, and they listenedto me tell the story with some of the wonder that I had had in reading it. The next night and many nights thereafter, a kind of unspoken ritual (仪式) took place. As it grew dark, I would take my place in the center of thestoop and begin the evening’s tale. Some nights, in order to taste my victorymore completely, I cheated. I would stop at the most exciting part of a storyby Jack London or Bret Harte, and without warning tell them that that was asfar as I had gone in the book and it would have to be continued the followingevening. It was not true, of course; but I had to make certain of my new-found power and position. I enjoyed the long summer evenings until schoolbegan in the fall. Other words of mine have been listened to by larger andmore fashionable audiences, but for that tough and athletic one that sat closeon the stoop outside the candy store, I have an unreasoning love that will lastforever.

55. Watching the boys playing baseball, the writer must have felt ________. A. bitter and lonely B. special and different C. pleased and excited D. disturbed and annoyed

56. The writer feels grateful even now to the boy who asked the questionbecause the boy ________.

A. invited him to join in their game B. liked the book that he was reading

C. broke the long silence of that summer evening

D. offered him an opportunity that changed his life

58. The boys were attracted to Sister Carrie because ________.

Develop Better Relationships with Neighbors

Good neighbors are a lot like electricity or running water：we don’t know how much we depend on them until we don’t have them. They make our lives more pleasant and give us a sense of who we are, both as an individual and as a member of the community. Here’s how to develop your relationships with

these very important people in your life.

61. _________ Often neighbors don’t even know each other’s names. But it’sokay to be the one to break the ice , even if you’ve lived next door for years.Most neighbors enjoy making small talk with the folks on the other side ofthe fence. So as you see them at work in their yards, smile, wave, and sayhello. Ask how their kids are (whether they’re babies or in college), whetherthey could use an extra cucumber from your garden, or what they think of theprice at the local supermarket.

62. _________ These days, the old Welcome Wagon is a thing of the past.But your new neighbors may be feeling lonely and unsure, especially ifthey’re far from home, and might appreciate a friendly face bearing fresh-baked chocolate cakes. If they have kids, tell them where the children in theneighborhood live. Recommend the best places to eat and sleep. Invite themover for coffee or tea when they get settled, give them your number, andpoint to your house as you say good-bye.

63. __________ Return anything that you borrow from a neighbor, such astools, in good repair and as soon as you’ve finished with them. Replaceanything that belongs to your neighbor that you, your children, or your petsbreak or soil. Make sure that your car is not blocking their doorway. Suchrandom acts of consideration will have your neighbors talking — and the talkwill be good.

64. __________ If you value a friendship with your neighbors, spend time with them. What better way to meet your neighbors than to invite them to an informal barbecue, pool party, or holiday open house? Better yet, you might even consider throwing a get-together in their honor. Deliver the invitations in person to everyone who lives on your street and chat with each for five minutes before moving on to the next house. This way, you will get an idea of what your neighbors are like so that you can plan for appropriate food and

music.

65. ___________ In a good relationship, it’s really the little things that count.Help to bring in the mail for the elderly neighbor when there is a heavy rain.When your neighbor forgets to take in his rubbish cans, roll them back intohis yard. If you’re truly concerned, you’ll know when your neighbor needssome cheering up — a bunch of flowers or a helping hand when it’s needed.All it takes to develop your relationship with neighbors is the respect for theirfeelings.

I was taking a train to London’s Victoria Station. I had noticed that the carriage was noise and filled with people.

Before long, a train inspector comes to check out tickets. A passenger realized he couldn’t find his ticket but became quite upset. Then everyone in the carriage began searching the ticket, which was eventually found under a seat several rows from his owner. The person who found a ticket smiled with pleasure at his success.

One possible student version:

Dear Mr. Wang,

Knowing that our library is going to buy books, I’d like to give somesuggestions.

What we need most are popular science books. Usually popular science

books explain basic principles of nature in a simple and interesting way. Theyhelp us understand science subjects better and arouse our curiosity aboutscientific discoveries.

In addition to reading for knowledge, we read for fun and inspiration. That iswhy I recommend another category of books：literary books. Classic works,written by masters, present great thoughts through fascinating stories andlanguage. They not only offer us joy and excitement, but also encourage us tothink critically.

I’ll be glad if you can consider my recommendation. Yours sincerely, Li Yue
