16．For most people，the word"fashion"means"clothes"．But people ask the question，"What clothes are fashion？"And they use the adjective"fashionable"in the same way："she was wearing a fashionable coat．""His shirt was really a fashionable color．"
But of course there are fashions in many things，not only in clothes．There are fashions in holidays，in restaurants，in films and books．There are even fashions in school subjects，jobs and in languages．
Fashions change as time goes．If you look at pictures of people or things from the past，you will feel that fashions have always changed．An English house of 1950was different from one of 1508．A fashionable man in 1920looked very different from his grandson in 2000．
Today fashions change very quickly．Some of this is natural．We hear about things much more quickly than in the past．Newspapers，radios，telephones and televisions send information from one country to another in a few hours．
New fashions mean that people will buy new things，so you see there is money in fashion．

24．From this passage we know that"fashion"meansB．
A．clothes           B．most of the popular things
C．many things       D．everything

A．Surfing on different cell-phones．
B．Radios send information from one country to another．

A．clothes are expensive
B．fashions can help people make big money
C．fashionable things are all expensive
D．if you are in fashion，you will have money
27．Which one is Not Right in the following statements？D
A．As time goes，fashions can be different from what they are now．
B．In the modern world，fashions change very quickly．
C．The word"fashions"doesn't only mean"clothes"．
D．Fashions are in many things，but there aren't fashions in school subjects．

7．
A．Heavy pressure on airlines
B．a(chǎn)irlines'worrying situation and future
C．inevitable fuel costs
D．impossible cheap flights
E．low-cost airlines'ways to keep fares low
F．Ryanair's new policy
76．D
British travelers already thinking twice about flying to Europe this summer because of the falling value of the pound received more bad news yesterday with indications that the era of cheap flights may be drawing to an end．
77．A
Soaring fuel costs have put airlines under financial pressure which，analysts say，will inevitably be passed on to passengers through increased ticket prices，fuel surcharges and baggage check-in fees．The warnings follow a wave of air line bankruptcies in the UK and the US，and the pressure on the airlines has been most acute this year as the global oil price rose from  80 a barrel to nearly 120．
78．F
Ryanair became the latest airline to pass that pain on to customers yesterday when it raised the cost of putting bags in the hold and checking in at airports．Passengers on Europe's largest budget carrier will have to pay 16 a bag and 8 to use a check-in desk on return journeys from Monday．Fuel accounts for a quarter of airline budgets and the resulting financial，squeeze has triggered warnings that major carriers could go to the wall or be forced to merge with rivals to survive．Ryanair is trying to play down its latest charge increases because it is the second time Ryanair has raised baggage costs this year to cover the rising cost of fuel，which is expected to account for nearly half of its costs next year．
79．E
"Their earnings are greatly affected by the fuel price，so they need to do everything they possibly can to alleviate that cost pressure，"said Andrew Lohbenberg，an analyst at ABN Amro，"But low-cost airlines refuse to impose them，instead preferring to cover their costs through add-on charges for checking in，in-flight food and car rental deals．"
80．B
However，industry experts say higher bag check-in costs are inevitable if the cost of oil stays around its current level．Ryanair and low-cost rival Easy Jet will try to leave fares untouched，because cheap tickets are the key part of a no-frills（不提供不必要的服務(wù)）business model that uses bargain fares to pack passengers on to airplanes and then making profits from them with add-ons （附加物）．"They cannot afford to raise fares．It would break their model．"said Strickland．"Occupancy would fall and they will not make enough money to cover increased fuel costs．"Ryanair has already warned that profits could fall by as much as 50% this year due to the fuel situation，while Easy Jet shares were hit recently when it said it would miss its full-year profit targets if fuel stayed at the current price．
The threat to the industry is at its most serious since the incident of September 11，analysts have warned．The global airline industry is barely profitable．

4．In the animal kingdom，weakness can bring about aggression in other animals．This sometimes happens with humans also．But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people．I see it every day when people hold doors for me，pour cream into my coffee，or help me to put on my coat．And I have discovered that it makes them happy．
From my wheelchair experience，I see the best in people，but sometimes I was sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily．
They don't get to see this soft side of others．Often，we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness，which includes a lot of pretending．But only when we stop pretending we're brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that's in them．
Last month，when I was driving home on a busy highway，I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual．People behind me began to get impatient and angry，with some speeding up alongside me，horning（按喇叭）or even shouting at me．At that moment，I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving．I put on the flashlights and drove on at a really low speed．
No more angry shouts and no more horns!
When I put on my flashlights，I was saying to the other drivers，"I have a problem here，I am weak and doing the best I can，"And everyone understood．Several times，I saw drivers who wanted to pass．They couldn't get around me because of the stream of passing traffic．But instead of getting impatient and angry，they waited，knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak．
Sometimes weakness calls for us to act strong and brave even when we don't feel that way．But in fact，it would be better if we don't pretend to feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we're scared．

62．The author has discovered that people will feel happy whenC．
A．they feel others'kindness
B．they receive others'help
C．they offer their help
D．they show their weakness
63．What did the other drivers do when they saw the flashlights？D
A．They speed up to pass．
B．They put on their flashlights too
C．They tried their best to help．
D．They waited with patience．．
64．In this passage，the author advises us toA．
A．a(chǎn)dmit our weakness
B．a(chǎn)ccept help from others
C．handle problems by ourselves
D．show our bravery
65．Which of the following is the best title for the passage？C
A．A Wheelchair Experience．
B．Weakness and Strength
C．Weakness and Kindness．
D．A Driving Experience．

11．As computers become all the more popular in China，Chinese people are increasingly depending on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters．But if they use the computer too much，they may end up forgetting the exact strokes （筆畫） of each Chinese character when writing on paper．Experts suggest people，especially students，write by hand more．
Do you write by hand more or type more？In Beijing，students start using a computer as early as primary school．And computer dependence is more widely spread among university students．Almost all their assignment and essays are typed on a computer．
All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer．
It's faster and easier to correct if using a computer．And that's why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education．But when people are taking stock in computers increasingly，problems appear．
"When I'm writing with a pen，I find I often can't remember how to write a character，though I feel I'm familiar with it．"
"I'm not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper．"
Many students don't feel this is something to worry about．Now that it's more convenient and efficient to write on a computer，why bother to handwrite？
Many educators think differently．Shi Liwei，headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said，"Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic （審美的） value．But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value．All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost．And handwriting contains the writer's emotion．Through one's handwriting，people can get to know one's thinking and personality．Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them．"
To encourage students to handwrite more，many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory（必修的）and in universities，some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand．

60．The underlined expression"taking stock in"in paragraph 4probably meansB．
A．getting bored with    B．getting dependent on
C．becoming crazy about  D．getting curious about
61．The students interviewed prefer to write using a computer mainly becauseD．
A．computers have become a trend and fashion in China
B．they are usually asked to e-mail their homework and essays
C．they find it not easy to remember how to write a character
D．they can correct the mistakes they make quickly and conveniently
62．Which of the following statement is NOT true of the advantage of handwriting？C
A．Handwriting contains the writer's emotions．
B．Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic value．
C．Handwriting can impress people well and build one's self-confidence．
D．The writer's thinking and personality are shown in his or her handwriting．
63．Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage？A
A．To Type or to Handwrite．
B．The Importance of Handwriting and Typing．
C．Writing by Computer Will Replace Writing by Hand．
D．Practical and Aesthetic Value of Chinese Characters．

1．In England three foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop．They studied the information on the post sign and decided which bus to take．About five minutes later the bus they wanted came along．They prepared to get on．Suddenly people rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way．Someone shouted  insulting words about the foreigners．The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about．The three foreign gentlemen looked puzzled and ashamed．No one had told them about the British custom of lining up for a bus so that the first person who arrived at a bus-stop is the first person to get on the bus．
Learning the language of a country isn't enough．If you want to ensure a pleasant visit，find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your hosts．You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own．A visitor to India would do well to remember that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table．The left hand should be used for washing yourself．Also in India，You might see a man apparently shaking his head at another and consider that he is disagreeing．But in many parts of India shaking one's head means expressing agreement．Nodding your head when offered a drink in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty．In that country you shake your head to express"yes"-a nod means"no"．
In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs when sitting，talking to someone，even at an important meeting．Doing this when meeting an important person in Thailand，however，could cause offence （冒犯）．It is considered too informal an attitude for such an occasion．Also when in Thailand avoid touching the head of an adult-it's just not done．
Attitudes to women vary a lot around the world．In Japan，for example，it is quite usual for men to plan evening entertainments for themselves and leave their wives at home．
Knowing about customs and attitudes is useful when you are traveling，but you also need to know the language used to express different degrees of formality （禮節(jié)）．

41．The three foreign gentlemen looked puzzled and ashamed becauseC．
A．they didn't know the English language
B．the bus conductor told them to jump the queue
C．they didn't know the custom of lining up for a bus
D．they thought they were not respected
42．What's the meaning of the underlined word"insulting"in Para.1？D
A．generous    B．entertaining     C．misunderstanding    D．rude
43．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to this passage？B
A．In Europe，using the left hand is considered less respected．
B．In India，the left hand is not used as a sign of respect to others．
C．In Thailand，you'd better cross your legs when sitting or talking．
D．In Japan，it is considered bad manners to touch the head of an adult．
44．The underlined sentence"Nodding your head when offered a drink in Bulgaria is likely to leave you thirsty"means in BulgariaC．
A．you are probably thirsty if you nod your head
B．you're possibly eager to have a drink if you nod your head
C．you probably refuse to drink when you nod your head
D．you'd like to have a cup of tea because you nod your head
45．We can infer from the passage thatD．
A．in Asian countries，women are equal to men in every field
B．learning a language well is a necessity before going abroad

8．A son in many developing countries means insurance，who will inherit his father's property and help support the family．However，to parents，a daughter is just another expense．Her place is in the home，not in the world of men．A girl can't help but feel inferior when everything around her tells her that she is worth less than a boy．Her future is，to some extent，shaped as soon as her family limits her opportunities and treat her as second-rater，which explain why women in developing countries perform much worse than men both in study and career．
Deep discrimination （歧視）against women creates a firm force that keeps girls from living up to their full potential．It also leaves them victims to severe physical and emotional harm．These"servants of the household"come to accept that life will never be any different．What's most harmful，it results not only in millions of individual tragedies，but also in the lost potential for the entire country．Studies show there is a direct link between a country's attitude toward women and its social and economic progress．The status of women is central to the health of a society．If one part suffers，so does the whole．
To deal with the situation，many women turn to education．Educated women are essential to ending sex discrimination，starting by reducing the poverty The most basic skills in literacy and Maths open up opportunities for better-paying jobs for women．Uneducated women in rural areas of Zambia，for instance，are twice as likely to live in poverty as those who have had eight or more years of education．
Women who have had some schooling are more likely to get married later，survive childbirth，have fewer and healthier children，and make sure their own children complete school．Understanding the importance of hygiene （衛(wèi)生）and nutrition，they are more likely to stay in physical wellness．
Nevertheless，the comprehensive change for a society speaks for the more far-reaching meaning of women education．As women get the opportunity to go to school and obtain higher-level jobs，they gain status in their communities，which translates into the power to influence their families and societies．Such power may，together with other forces of outside interference，make even bigger changes possible and gradually lighten up women's fates in these countries．
 
（Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS．）
81．What two facts make a woman achieve less than men in developing countries？
Her family limiting her opportunities and treating her as second-rater
82．The most severe result of discrimination against women isthe lost potential for the entire country
83．Why are educated women in developing countries more likely to remain healthy？
Because they understand the importance of hygiene and nutrition
84．High social position at home helps women to have the ability toinfluence their families and societies．

5．An Open Letter to an Editor
I had an interesting conversation with a reporter recently-one who works for you．In fact，he's one of your best reporters．He wants to leave．
Your reporter gave me a copy of his résumé （簡歷） and photocopies of six stories that he wrote for you．The headlines showed you played them proudly．With great enthusiasm，he talked about how he finds issues，approaches them，and writes about them，which tells me he is one of your best．I'm sure you would hate to lose him．
Surprisingly，your reporter is not unhappy．In fact，he told me he really likes his job．He has a great assignment，and said you run a great paper．It would be easy for you to keep him，he said．He knows that the paper values him．He appreciates the responsibility you've given him，takes ownership of his profession，and enjoys his freedom．
So why is he looking for a way out？
He talked to me because he wants his editors to demand so much more of him．He wants to be pushed，challenged，coached to new heights．
The reporter believes that good stories spring from good questions，but his editors usually ask how l ong the story will be，when it will be in，where it can play，and what the budget is．
He longs for conversations with an editor who will help him turn his good ideas into great ones．He wants someone to get excited about what he's doing and to help him turn his story idea upside down and inside out，exploring the best ways to report it．He wants to be more valuable for our paper．That's what you want for him，too，isn't it？
So your reporter has set me thinking．
Our best hope in keeping our best reporters，copy editors，photographers，artists-everyone-is to work harder to make sure they get the help they are demanding to reach their potential．If we can't do it，they'll find someone who can．
 
17．What does the writer think of the reporter？C
A．Optimistic．
B．Imaginative．
C．Ambitious．
D．Proud．
18．What does the reporter want most from his editors in their talks？D
A．Finding the news value of his stories．
B．Giving him financial support．
C．Helping him to find issues．
D．Improving his good ideas．
19．Who probably wrote the letter？A
A．An editor．
B．An artist．
C．A reporter．
D．A reader．
