第二节 完形填空 （每小题1分，满分20分）

I was talking with a friend a few days ago, who is pregnant with her first child. We were talking about  21 — how our parents raised us, what we would do  22 with our children, what we would keep the same. She was a little anxious about being a parent, about being  23   for a child and his or her life.

I remember saying to her, that regardless of how perfectly she may try to  24  her child, the child will be screwed up(搞糟) anyway simply by his or her own interpretation and  25  of everything that happens in his or her life.

I told her a story that I heard at one of Tony Robbins' events. A story about two Vietnam war veterans who had  26  their friends and fellow soldiers in the Vietnam war. Both fought in the same  27 , both witnessed the loss of their fellow countrymen, both experienced the frightening act of taking someone else's  28 . And yet, after the war was over, both led very different lives. 30 years  29  the war ended, one was depressed, lonely and suicidal; the other happy and healthy,  30  by a loving family and close friends. So what is the difference?

31  on his experience of the war in Vietnam, one man thought, "What is the  32  of being close to someone? I'll lose them  33 ." So he lived his life in bitterness and resentment, 34  of being close to anyone to avoid having to feel the pain of losing them.

The other man,  35 , thought, “Life is precious. I have to live it to the  36  and cherish every moment of it.” So he lived his life in gratitude,  37  every moment he has with his loved ones. What a big difference that made!

Nothing has meaning except the  38  you give it. You are responsible for giving meaning to everything that has happened in your life. So, the question is, would you rather be like the first war veteran who lived his life with  39 , anger and fear? Or would you rather be like the second, who saw the lessons the war had 40  him and created a more empowering meaning for it?

21. A. cooking            B. nursing                  C. parenting               D. working

22. A. differently                B. perfectly                 C. directly                   D. separately

23. A. respectable        B. responsible              C. acceptable               D. accessible

24. A. prepare             B. keep                      C. support                  D. raise

25. A. association         B. expectation             C. adaptation               D. addiction

26. A. missed              B. betrayed                 C. killed                     D. lost

27. A. unit                  B. war                        C. army                      D. country

28. A. money                      B. courage                  C. life                         D. account

29. A. since                 B. before                    C. until                       D. when

30. A. surrounded        B. protected                       C. gathered                 D. understood

31. A. Reflected                 B. Advised                  C. Depended               D. Based

32. A. grade                       B. point                     C. mark                     D. result

33. A. though              B. too                               C. anyway                   D. somehow

34. A. hopeful             B. skilful                    C. careful                    D. fearful

35. A. in contrast                B. in conclusion           C. in general               D. in total

36. A. richest              B. wisest                    C. closest                   D. fullest

37. A. treasuring          B. measuring               C. spending                D. playing

38. A. moment            B. meaning                 C. responsibility          D. difference

39. A. sickness             B. kindness                 C. bitterness                    D. darkness

A

Driving a car is not just handling controls and judging speed and distance. It requires you to predict what other road users will do and get ready to react to something unexpected , When alcohol is consumed, it enters your bloodstream and acts as a depressant （抑制药），damaging eyesight, judgment and co-ordination （协调），slowing down reaction time and greatly increasing the risk of accidents. Even below the drink driving limt , driving will be affected.

Alcohol may take a few minutes to be absorbed into the bloodstream and start action on the brain. Absorption rate is increased when drinking on an empty stomach or when consuming drinks mixed with fruit juice. To get rid of alcohol from the body is a very slow process and it is not possible to speed it up with any measures like taking a shower or having a cup of tea or coffee.

The present Road Traffic Ordinance states clearly that the limit of alcohol concentration is :

● 50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of blood ;or

● 22 micrograms of alcohol per 100ml of breath ;or

● 67 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of urine(尿液)

Drivers who cause traffic accidents, or who commit a moving traffic offence or are being suspected of drink driving will be tested.

Any drive found drinking beyond the limit will be charged.The driver declared guilty may be fined a maximum of HK﹩25,000 and be sentenced to up to 3 years in prison and punished for 10 driving-offence points; or temporarily banned from driving.

The same punishment applies to failing to provide specimens(样本) for breath, blood or urine tests without good excuse.

Drink driving is a criminal offence. Be a responsible,driver,think before you drink. For the safety of yourself and other road users, never drive after consuming alcohol.

41.The first paragraph is mainly about_____________.

A. the introduction of driving skills     B. the danger of drinking to your body

C. the effect of drinking on driving      D. the process of alcohol being absorbed

42.The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to “________”.

43. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

 A. Drinking below the drink driving limit has no effect on driving.

 B. Alcohol is taken in more quickly when drunk with fruit juice.

 C. Having a cup of tea helps to get rid of alcohol from the body.

 D.50 milligrams of alcohol per 100ml of breath is below the drink limit

44.A driver suspected of drink driving_________.

    For five days,Edmonton's Downtown Park is transformed into one huge stage where artists are able to share their talents, and where people are able to celebrate and enjoy themselves .Since is beginning in 1980,the Edmonton Folk Music Festival has been commemorating(纪念）the ture feeling of what folk music is all about and that's the traditional togetherness(友爱）that is felt when people gather to share stories and feelings through song.

This year will be the sixth year when volunteer Riedel will be offering up her time to the festival. "People coming off a busy spring and summer have a moment of relaxation ," Riedel said.

There are free water stations throughout the venue(举办地）for people to fill up their travel cups. When people buy food, reusable ashes are given a $2 plate fee, but that is returned when the plate is brought back.

The festival has completely sold out of tickets, and in record time. But with big names such as Van Morrison and Jakob Dylan, it’s easy to see how that was going to happen. There is no parking area during the festival, so using the Park & Ride system or Edmonton Transit is highly recommended. A bike lock-up area is provided and will be available Thursday until Sunday one hour before the gates open until 45 minutes after the gates close.

Ireland has had a very difficult history. The problems started in the 16th century when English rulers tried to conquer(征服) Ireland. For hundreds of years, the Irish people fought against the English. Finally , in 1921. The British government was forced to give independence to the south of Ireland. The result is that today there are two “Irelands”. Northern Ireland. In the north, is part of the United Kingdom. The republic of Ireland , In the south , Is an independent country.

In the 1840s the main crop, potatoes was affected by disease and about 750,000 people died of hunger. This, and a shortage (短缺) of work , forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA, the UK, Australia and Canada. As a result of these problems, the population fell from 8.2 million in 1841 to 6.6 million in 1851.

For many years, the majority of Irish people earned their living as farmers. Today, many people still work on the land but more and more people are moving to the cities to work in factories and offices. Life in the cities is very different from life in the countryside, where things move at a quieter and slower pace.

The Irish are famous for being warm-hearted and friendly, Oscar Wilde, a famous Irish writer, once said that the Irish were “the greatest talkers since the Greeks”, Since independence, Ireland has revived(复兴) its own culture of music, language, literature and singing. Different areas have different styles of old Irish song which are sung without instruments. Other kinds of Irish music use many different instruments such as the violin, whistles, etc.

49.what does the author tell us in paragraph 1?

A. how the Irish fought against the English.  B. how Ireland gained independence.

C. how English rulers tried to conquer Ireland. D. how two ”Irelands” came into being.

50.we learn from the text that in Ireland_____。

A. food shortages in the 1840s led to a decline in population

B. people are moving to the cities for lack of work in the countryside

C. it is harder to make a living as a farmer than as a factory worker

D. different kinds of old Irish songs are all sung with instruments

51. what can be the best title for the text?

A. life in Ireland            B. A Very difficult history

C. Ireland, past and present   D. the independence of Ireland

                                       D

Commodities(日用品) are basic materials that are used and traded worldwide. The price of commodities helps determine how much a business can charge for a product and the profit it can make. Commodity prices have reached a two-year high since falling sharply during the world financial crisis.

Hard commodities are materials like iron ore, oil and gold. Agricultural products are soft commodities. These include wheat, cotton and rice.

Economic measures show the world economy is recovering. China and India, for example, have reported strong growth in manufacturing(制造业). Developed nations have had slower growth. John James, a business professor at Pace University, says demand in developing economics can push up prices for commodities like oil and iron are used for making steel. But, he says, changing currency values can also influence prices.

Gold prices have reached record levels in recent months. That means gold dealers must pay more for the commodity now than they did only a year ago. That affects current prices.

Not surprisingly, manufacturers want some control over the prices they pay for commodities. Futures(期货) contracts are agreements between a buyer and a seller to exchange something at a set price at some time in the future. These contracts let buyers lock in a price for basic materials. But some traders in futures markets only want to make a profit. They buy or sell contracts depending on the direction they believe prices will go. These speculators(投机者) get condemned when prices rise, or fall, too quickly. The United States, Germany and France are looking into ways to limit this kind of trading.

Some experts say exporting commodities is not a good path to long-term economic growth. The United Nations recently reported that the least developed countries must change their economics to provide good incomes for their citizens. A UN official says the least developed countries need to cut dependence on commodities and manufacture products for export. He says only this will let them gain from world trade.

52. How many of the following are soft commodities?

  ①gold   ②corn   ③cotton   ④iron   ⑤education  

  ⑥oil    ⑦fruits   ⑧rice     ⑨salt   ⑩vegetables

  A. Three.            B. Four.           C. Five.           D. Six.

53. What is the leading factor for this round of growth of commodity prices?

  A. The growth of gold prices.                 

  B. The speculators’ seeking higher profits.

  C. Growth of demands in developed economics.  

  D. Growth in manufacturing in developing nations.

54. The underlined word “condemned” in the last but one paragraph probably means _______.

  A. blamed           B. killed          C. limited          D. tolerated

55. What is mainly discussed in the last paragraph?

  A. Measures to be taken by the United Nations.   

B. Solutions to this problem for developing nations.

C. The disadvantages of high prices of commodities.

D. How to bring down the high prices of commodities.

第四节 任务型阅读 （每小题1分，满分10分）

A conflict at work is common. If you can avoid conflict, it means you will win what you want regardless of what the other person wants. Since the potential issue has not been removed, it will simply reappear later. Here are the necessary steps to effectively get rid of conflicts at work.

       ★Be aware of the fact that some conflicts are unavoidable at work. On numerous occasions, conflict and disagreement are likely to happen. But when a conflict happens it's not the end of the world. On the contrary, it can be the beginning of an interesting learning process. Conflicts mean that people care enough to disagree strongly. The trick is not to allow the conflict to go on forever.

       ★ Deal with conflicts sooner rather than later. Solve a conflict when it starts, as it only gets worse with time going by. Conflicts at work arise not from something that was said, but from something that wasn't said! Everyone's waiting for the other to admit he's wrong and gets more unpleasant after the conflict has lasted a while. It's essential to interrupt the "waiting game" before it gets to that point.

       ★ Ask nicely. If somebody has done something that made you angry, or if you don't understand their viewpoint or actions, simply asking nicely about it can make a world of difference.  Never assume that people do what they do to annoy or hurt you. Sometimes there's a good reason why that person does what he or she does, and a potential conflict disappear right there. Do remember to make an inquiry, not an accusation of any sort.

       ★ Appreciate. Praise the other part in the conflict. Tell them why it's worth it to you to solve the conflict. This can be difficult as few people find it easy to praise and appreciate a person they disagree strongly with, but it's a great way to move forward.
