第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something. His purpose is settled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants, and his the assistant for what they want. If the shop has it in stock(有现货的), the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of trying it on follows at once. All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone's satisfaction. 来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants. In that case the salesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else, he offers the nearest to the article required. No good salesman brings out such a substitute impolitely; he does so with skill:
“I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size? It happens to be the color you mentioned.” Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual response is: “This is the right color and may be the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on.” 来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
Now how does a woman go about buying clothes? In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way. Her shopping is not often based on need. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only “having a look round”. She is always open to persuasion; indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her, even by what companions tell her. She will try on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her. Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the lookout for来源进步网www.szjjedu.com the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another, to and fro, often retracing her steps, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a laborious process, but apparently an enjoyable one. Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.
56. The underlined sentence “the price is a secondary consideration” in the first paragraph means when a man is shopping ______.来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
A. he buys good quality things, so long as they are not too dear
B. he buys whatever he likes without considering its value
C. he does not mind how much he has to pay for the right things
D. he often buys things without giving the matter proper thought.
57. According to the passage, what a man will do when he can not get exactly what he wants?
A. He will buy a similar thing because of the color he wants.
B. He will probably not buy anything. 来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
C. At least two of his requirements must be met before he buys.
D. So long as the style is right, he will buy the thing.
58. What is the most obvious difference between men and women shoppers?
A. Men do not try clothes on in a shop while women do.
B. Women bargain for their clothes, but men do not. 来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
C. The time they take over buying clothes.
D. Men go shopping based on need, but women never.

Chicken feathers are useful, and not just to a chicken. Some go into pillows, coats and other products. But countless chicken feathers go to waste. 来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
In the United States, billions of chickens are produced yearly. Most of their feathers are thrown away.
But instead of being buried in land, some feathers could find a future in plastics.
One of the products they have developed is a flowerpot（花盆）. It may look like other flowerpots. But the container breaks down in the earth within one to five years. And as it breaks down, it naturally becomes nutrient in the soil.
The environmentally friendly flowerpot is the work of two researchers. Walter Schmidt is with the Agricultural Research Service, part of the United States Agriculture Department. Masud Huda is with the Horticultural Research Institute, a private organization. 来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
Walter Schmidt has been working to find uses for chicken feathers since the 1990s. Progress in 2002 showed that plastic made from feathers could be formed like other plastics.
He says feathers are much stronger and last longer than another plant material. "Feathers are stronger. By design, feathers are also more durable（耐用的）. And the other part about it is if feathers were twice as heavy, or half as strong, then birds couldn't fly." 来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
He points out that traditional flowerpots made from other plastics can last much longer. But he wonders if there is really a need. He says most flowerpots are never re-used.
"Why would you want a plastic that you use for a year to last for two hundred years? It makes no sense. You want to match the product with the use." said Walter Schmidt. 来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
Walter Schmidt and Masud Huda are now adding another chicken product to their flowerpots —chicken waste. The waste will add more nutrients to the soil as the pot breaks down. The scientists say they hope their flowerpot will be on the market in a year or two.
59. What do people mainly deal with feathers? 来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
A. Feathers are used to make pillows, coats and other products.
B. Most feathers are paid no attention to.
C. Most feathers are used as nutrient. 来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
D. Most feathers are used to make flowerpots.
60. What’s the advantage of the flowerpots?
A. They won’t last long. B. They can’t break. 来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
C. They are environmentally friendly. D. They can be reused.
61. What does Walter Schmidt think of traditional flowerpots?
A. Too heavy. B. Too old. C. Never re-used. D. Lasting longer but unn来源进步网www.szjjedu.com ecessary.
62. What do you think is the main idea of the passage?
A. Chicken and its feathers. B. How to deal with feathers. 来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
C. Feathers made into flowerpot. D. New flowerpots.

You Are What You Eat
Genetic engineering is the scientific change of the genetic material in a living organism. It allows scientists to identify specific genes, to remove them from an organism's chromosomes (染色体), improve them, analyze them, and possibly clone them, and to then reinsert the changed gene into the original organism, or a completely different organism．Unlike traditional breeding, where a desired quality would be bred within the same species, genetic engineering can insert desired ones into organisms of different species. Wow…Did you catch that? 来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
Genetic engineering creates many positive contributions to agriculture. For example, by genetically engineered（GE）foods, anti-cancer agents, minerals and vitamins can be increased. Improved taste, shelf life, and better transport are all possible. Also, GE plants can increase pest and bacterial resistance, therefore, making the food safe for consumers. 来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
But some argue that the possible negative effects outweigh the positives, and critics are starting to voice their concerns. Unlike Europe, in the United States labeling is not required on genetically engineered foods or on foods that contain genetically engineered products. Most Americans do not realize that they are, in fact, eating GE foods. The public is also concerned about the unknown health risks. With limited understanding of genes, scientists cannot predict possible effects. Because most genes introduced into GE plants come from sources not introduced into the human body, it is impossible to know if they will cause reactions. Moreover, due to the lack of labeling if allergies develop, it will be extremely difficult to find the origin of them. 来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
There is also a major moral question in many minds. For many, the conflict is not if it is safe or not, but it disturbs them because it is unnatural and unnecessary. We are currently producing one and a half times the amount of food needed to feed the world, yet one in seven people are starving. GE food is unnecessary, and fails to address the root of hunger. Many believe that the only people who will benefit are the corporations that produce it.
Scientists cannot foresee the possible effects of GE foods, but we eat them every day without even knowing it. We already have enough food, so why create more that could be potentially harmful to us, to the Earth and to all wildlife? I think that the benefits are amazing, but until we know for sure how these foods will affect us, they are not worth the risk．来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
63. According to the passage, traditional breeding is different from genetic engineering in that_____.
A. traditional breeding changes the genes in the same species
B. traditional breeding changes the genes in different species
C. traditional breeding takes place within the same species来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
D. traditional breeding is more scientific
64. “The lack of labeling” in Paragraph 4 indicates_________.
A. information concerning gene sources is unavailable to customers
B. it is currently possible to find the origins of some allergies
C. scientists try to hide potential dangers from customers
D. the US government is responsible for GE food来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
65. According to Paragraph 5, GE food is unnecessary because________.
A. it won't help solve the problem of hunger in the world
B. there are potential dangers in producing GE food
C. we're now producing more food than before
D. customers will benefit from GE food来源进步网www.szjjedu.com

A. Welcoming B. Disapproving C. Unconcerned D. Optimistic

For centuries, in the countries of South and Southeast Asia, the elephant has been an important part of the culture, economy and religion. And nowhere more so than in Thailand. Unlike its African cousin, the Asian elephant is easily domesticated. The rare so-called white elephants have actually lent the power of royalty to its rulers, and until the 1920s the national flag was a white elephant on a red background. To the early Western visitors, the country’s romantic name was “Land of the White Elephant”. 来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
Today, however, the story is very different. Out of work and out of land, the Thai elephant struggles for survival in a nation that no longer needs it. The elephant has found itself more or less deserted by previous owners who have moved on to a different economic world and a society in the western part. And while the elephant’s problems began many years ago, now it has a very low national advantage.
How does the national symbol turn into ignored animals? It is a story of worse environment and the changing lives of the Thais themselves. According to Richard Lair, Thailand’s expert on the Asian elephant and author of the report Gone Astray, at the turn of the last century, there may well have been as many as 100,000 national elephants in the country. 来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
In the north of Thailand alone, it was estimated that more than 20,000 elephants were employed in transport, 1,000 of them alone on the road between the cities of Chiang Mai and Chiang Saen. This was at a time when 90 percent of Thailand was still forest—a habitat that not only supported the animals but also made them necessary to carry goods and people. Nothing ploughs through thick forest better than lots of sure-footed elephants. 来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
By 1950 the elephant population had dropped, but still to the number of 13,397. However, today there are probably no more than 3,800, with another 1,350 wandering free in the national parks. But now, Thailand’s forest covers only 20 percent of the land. This deforestation (采伐森林) is the central point of the elephant’s difficult situation, for it has effectively put the animals out of work. This century, as the road network grew, the elephant’s role as a beast of burden decreased. 来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
67. Thailand was once called “Land of the White Elephant” because________.
A. the white elephant was a national symbol until the 1920s
B. the white elephant is rarely seen now and thus very special来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
C. the white elephant has helped kings to gain the ruling authority
D. this name was so romantic that it was popular among visitors来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
68. Why is the Thai elephant “out of work”, according to the author?
A. Because there are too many elephants but too few jobs.
B. Because the elephants can’t do labor work any longer.
C. Because the government pays little attention to the problem.
D. Because the elephants are no longer useful to their owners. 来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
69. Which of the following statements is TRUE about the elephant population at various times?
A. There were at most 100,000 domesticated elephants at the turn of the last century.
B. 20,000 elephants were employed in transport in Thailand at the turn of the century.
C. By 1950 the elephant population in Thailand had been quite small.
D. Today the elephant population is estimated at 5,150. 来源进步网www.szjjedu.com

Patience is of great important in our daily life. Once I waited a bus to come at a stop. 30 minutes past, but no bus came. Both upset and annoyed, I decided to walk on feet. But no sooner had I left than the bus arrived. I thought if I had waited for one more minute, I would have caught it. If I chose to take a next bus, I would have to wait for other 30 minutes. Only then do I realize my problem. Be impatient will probably waste all the effort what we have put in.

Today, I felt very happy to participate in the social practice in the countryside, organized by our school, which gave me a deep impression来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
This morning we gathered at the school gate happily, waiting for the school bus. Soon we were on the way to the suburb. On reaching our destination after a two-hour trip, we were warmly received by the farmers. Firstly the farmers with enthusiasm introduced great changes and development in their home town in the past few years and showed us around their farmhouses. What surprised and delighted us most was that the accommodation here was very good. At noon, we were provided a delicious lunch with the characteristic flavor. In the afternoon we were arranged to help the farmers pick vegetables and fruits, experiencing and enjoying the pleasure of the harvest. Though the trip to the happy farmhouses was over , it left a permanent memory on me. I feel proud of the achievement which the farmers have made.

W: Whew! Thanks for stopping Sometimes it can be impossible to get a cab in the rain
M: No worries Where to?
W: I’m going to Fifth Avenue and East 22nd Street No rush at all, though
M: Well, that’s good because it looks like we’re not going to be able to move more than a
few feet per minute! 来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
W: Well, that’s what happens when it starts to rain during rush hour I’m one of the lucky

W: The feeling was all wrong, Mike She is telling you that she doesn’t want to see you
anymore, but I want to get more anger from you You’re acting hurt and sad, but that’s
not how your character would act in this situation
M: But Jason and Laura have been together for three years Don’t you think his reaction
would be one of both anger and sadness?
W: At this point, no I think he would react the way most guys would, and then later on, we
would see his real feelings
M: I’m not so sure about that来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
W: Let’s try it my way, and you can see how you feel when you’re saying your lines After
that, if it still doesn’t feel right, we can go back to the drawing board

W: Hey, welcome to Berlin! It’s great to see you again
M: Yeah, good to see you too! Have you been waiting here at the station long?
W: Only fifteen minutes But let’s get out of this cold and go to my apartment! How are
you feeling after that long bus ride? 来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
M: Ah, it wasn’t too bad It was only nineteen hours来源进步网www.szjjedu.com
W: That’s crazy! You could’ve flown here from London for 60 euros, and it would only
have taken an hour and a half Was it really worth all that time, just to save a bit of
money?
M: Well, it was a pretty uncomfortable ride, to be honest The bus was starting to smell
toward the end of it, and there was a guy next to me who was breathing really loudly
while he was sleeping But the reason I took the bus was because it’s more
environmentally friendly than flying
W: I think it’s great you want to help the environment But you look so exhausted right now I just think you should be a little more careful with your health
M: Well, I wasn’t expecting the bus to be so unpleasant But you’re right Next time I visit
you, I’ll probably fly来源进步网www.szjjedu.com

Welcome back to Modern Parenting We’ve already talked about being open and honest with your kids, but there is one thing that all good parents do, and it’s surprisingly simple: read to your kids Studies show that children are better prepared for school and tend to get better grades later on if their parents make a habit of reading to them from a young age One study from Harvard University found that the number of books in the home was the single biggest factor related to success in school, more than the education or income of the parents! Reading is fun, and it can be an important part of relaxing at bedtime Best of all, it gives parents an opportunity to communicate with their children and teach them about the world It’s never too early to start reading to your children Many parents buy books for their kids long before they can talk, and some even start reading to their children before they are born! Trips to the library or the bookstore can be fun activities for young families to do together So来源进步网www.szjjedu.com parents, if you’re wondering what to do with your kids tonight, remember: all you need is a good book! That’s all for Modern Parenting This is Lesley, on 1057 FM, saying good night
