If you fly non-stop across Canada from Newfoundland in the east to British Columbia in the west, you can arrive before you set out, that is, by the time shown on clocks in British Columbia. Canada is such a big country that people in British Columbia may be having their breakfast while those in Newfoundland are perhaps already beginning their lunch. So the country is divided into five time zones, each an hour behind in time from the west zones to the east. For example, when it is 12 noon Atlantic Time in Newfoundland and the Madritime Provinces, it is 11a.m. Eastern time in most of Quebec and Ontario. Winnipeg, Manitoba, lies in the middle of the Central Time Zone, here it is 10 a.m. In most of the Prairies and the eastern half the mountains it is 9 a.m. Mountain Time while the west coast region has Pacific Time and it is 8 a.m.
45. The underlined word “non-stop” in the first sentence may mean ____.
A. to stop everywhere                            B. no stopping in Canada
C. without stopping before the final stop            D. to stop in Newfoundland
46. Which of the following is not the name of a place in Canada?
A. British Columbia.     B. Newfoundland.    C. Quebec.             D. Atlantic Time.
47. According to the passage, the place named Quebec is to the ___ of the place named Winnipeg.
A. east     B. west    C. south   D. north

請(qǐng)認(rèn)真閱讀下列短文，并根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~。注意：每空1個(gè)單詞。
A big part of being an effective team member is being a good listener, so listening carefully is very important. Do you think your listening skills need improving? Simply remember the ladder to become a better listener.
Look at the person who is speaking to you. If you make eye contact, the speaker feels like he has your undivided attention. If an individual comes into your office to talk, stop what you are doing. When you continue typing or staring at your computer screen, the person talking to you feels insignificant.
Ask questions. This shows you’re interested and that you are hearing what he is saying.
Don’t interrupt. When you interrupt, the speaker feels you’re not interested in what he is saying and will be frustrated(沮喪的) by the inability to finish a complete thought. Take the time to listen---just relax and open your ears!
Don’t change the subject. Changing the subject indicates that your mind is elsewhere. It shows you’re not concentrating on what’s being said at that moment, and this makes the speaker feel uncomfortable. If you change the subject, the speaker could also get the impression that you’re avoiding the topic and may be hesitant to bring it up again.
Empathize(有同感). When someone shares information with you, put yourself in his shoes. Doing this will allow the two of you to discover solutions more easily and will also help you appreciate a perspective(觀點(diǎn)) different from you own.
Respond verbally(口頭地) and non-verbally. Using an enthusiastic tone shows you’re interested in what the speaker is saying. Smiling helps too! Avoid crossing your arms since this can be interpreted(解釋) as being closed off. If you’re speaking with someone who’s sitting, you should sit too. Standing over someone is too official and may make the other person feel uncomfortable.
If you are unsure whether you are a good listener or not, simply take the following test. In your next meeting or conversation, make a mental note, even better, write down on a piece of paper the number of times you interrupt. The fewer marks there are on your paper, the better listener you are! This seems like a silly test, but you may be surprised by the quantity of marks on your paper. After all, the worst listeners usually aren’t aware that their listening skills need some attention or improvement.

The tradition of birthday parties started a long time ago. There are some traditions that you can find almost anywhere, anytime, such as sending birthday cards, blowing out the candles on a birthday cake and singing the ‘Happy Birthday’ song. Others are only found for certain ages and in certain countries.
In China, on a child’s second birthday, family members put many things on the floor around the child. According to Chinese tradition, the first thing that the child picks up tells you what profession the child will choose later in life.
For Japanese children, the third, fifth and seventh birthdays are especially important. At this age, there is a special celebration Shichi-Go-San (seven, five, three in Japanese) when children go to the temple wearing a new kimono (和服). The priest (僧侶) gives them special sweets, and the parents usually organize a party for their friends in their home.
In Argentina, Mexico and several other Latin American countries, girls have a special birthday celebration when they reach the age of fifteen. After a special ceremony (儀式), the girls dance a waltz with their father and other boys.
Eighteen is the traditional ‘coming of age’— the age when (in many countries) you have the right to vote, join the army and (in Britain) drink alcohol or buy a house.
In many English-speaking countries, a twenty-first birthday cake often has a key on top, or the cake itself is sometimes in the shape of a key. The key means that the young person is now old enough to leave and enter the family home at any time they want to!

Americans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of a lift operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States?
Among the arguments for uniforms, one of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian(百姓的) clothes. People have become conditioned to expect higher quality from a man who wears a uniform. The television repairman who wears a uniform is likely to inspire more trust than one who appears in civilian clothes. Faith in the skill of a garage mechanic is increased by a uniform.
What easier way is there for a nurse, a policeman, a hairdresser, or a waiter to lose professional identity（職業(yè)身份） than to step out of uniform?
Primary among the argument against uniforms in their lack of variety and the loss of individuality experienced by people who must wear them. Though there are many types of uniforms, the wearer of any particular type is generally stuck with it, without change, until retirement. When people look alike, they are likely to think ,speak, and act similarly on the job at least. Uniforms also give rise to some practical problems. Though they are long-lasting, often their initial expense is greater than the cost of civilian clothes, Some uniforms are also expensive to maintain , requiring professional dry cleaning rather than the home laundering possible with types of civilian clothes.
60  People are likely to think that a man in uniform_________.
A.  suggests quality work
B.  shows his social position
C.  appears to be more practical
D.  looks more fresh and attractive
61 Those who are against uniforms believe that people wearing uniforms_________.      
A.  are usually helpful                B.  have little freedom
C.  lose personal character             D.  enjoy greater popularity
62  It can be concluded from the passage that_________.
A.  people generally trust a person in uniform
B.people enjoy wearing comfortable uniform
C.the cost of the uniform is acceptable to people
D.people wear uniforms to show their professions
63  The underlined sentence tells us that_________.
A.  it’s impossible that people can be recognized more easily by their uniforms
B.people’s identity can be recognized more easily by their uniforms
C.nurses and policemen must wear uniforms when working
D.people in those professions act in an easier way without uniforms

We are not born doubting ourselves. We learn to do it. In fact, we are usually taught to doubt ourselves. We can learn some ways that allow us to become more accepting of ourselves. Following are two behaviors that might explain the reasons why you can’t move towards greater self-acceptance.
One thing that might cause you not to accept yourself is over-generalizing about something you've done that you don’t like．For example, if you fail a test you might generalize and say, “I’m really a stupid person.” When you do this you are making a statement about all of you all of the time and not just about this one situation at this time. Instead, you might decide that your grade on this test in this subject at this time was indeed poor, and then go on to decide what you want to do about your poor grade, if anything. Getting stuck in over-generalizing discourages you from taking steps that might allow you to do better on the next exam and to build an expectation of future failure.
Having standards that are impossibly high is a second way you can not accept yourself. It may not come as a surprise to you that most of us are more demanding of ourselves than we are of others. Somehow we can tolerate the fact that other people fail, that they aren’t always kind, that they’ve done things they aren’t proud of, but we have difficulty accepting those very human aspects of ourselves. The need to be perfect is another way to set yourself up for failure and enhance the feeling that you are not acceptable. We all make mistakes. Accepting less than perfection simply means recognizing the limitations natural in being born a human being. Learn to value who you are rather than who you could become. Wouldn’t it be overpowering if we always had to do what we imagine we could do? Nobody has the time and energy to do all of that. We must make choices about what we will pursue and do them the best we can under the circumstances, which aren’t always ideal, by the way.
60．Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. We can feel that we are perfect when we set ourselves up for success.
B. We can tolerate the fact that we’ve done things we aren’t proud of.
C. Over-generalizing might encourage you to expect the future.
D. Over-generalizing might cause you not to accept yourself.
61．What is the author’s attitude according to the passage?
A. It’s necessary for people to be perfect.
B. It’s acceptable for people to be imperfect.
C. It’s strange for people to be born with limitation.
D. It’s possible for people to do what they imagine.
62．What has caused the lack of self-acceptance?
A. Tolerance and high-level.
B. Limitation and expectation.
C. Over-generalization and high-standard.
D. Extreme difficulty and complete failure.

Harald Kaas was sixty. His back became rounded, and he bent a little. His forehead, always of the broadest－no one else’s hat would fit him － was now one of the highest, that is to say, he had lost all his teeth, which were strong though small, and blackened by smoking. Now, instead of “deuce take it” he said “deush take it”. He had always held his hands half closed as though grasping something; now they stiffened so that he could never open them fully. The little finger of his left hand had been bitten off. According to Harald’s version of the story, the fellow swallowed the piece on the spot.
He was fond of showing off the left part, and it often served as an introduction to the history of brave adventures, which became greater and greater and greater as he grew older and quieter. His small sharp eyes were deep set and looked at one with great intensity. There was power in his individuality. He has no lack of self-respect.
His house, raised on an old foundation, looked out to the south over many islands; farther out were more islands and the open sea. Its eastern wing was barely half furnished, and the western inhabited by Harald Kaas. These wings were connected by a gallery, behind which were the fields and woods to the north.
In the gallery itself were heads of bears, wolves, foxes and lynxes and stuffed birds from land and sea. Skins and guns hung on the walls of the front room. The inner rooms were also full of skins and filled with the smell of wild animals and tobacco-smoke. Harald himself called it “man-smell”; no one who had once put his nose inside could ever forget it. Valuable and beautiful skins hung on the walls and sat, and walked on skins, and each one of them was a subject of conversation. Harald Kaas, seated in his log chair by the fireside, his feet on the bearskin, opened his shirt to show the scars on his hairy chest (and what scars they were) which had been made by a bears teeth, when he had driven his knife, right up to the end, into the monster’s heart. All the tables, and cupboards, and carved chairs listened in their silence.
68．Who or what most probably bit harald Kaass’ little finger off?
A．On of his fellow hunters
B．An adversary in a boxing match
C．A wild animal 
D．One of his hunting dogs


 
69．Which of the following pictures shows the right description of Harald Kaas’ home?

 
70．What can we say about Harald Kaas in the story?
A．Brave and strong now , he was the best bunter in the neighborhood.
B．Old and lonely now, he never forgot his great past hunting life.
C．Always greedy and cruel, he was rich by hunting and selling animals.
D．Still active and busy, he managed to protect his neighborhood by killing animals.
