1．Generally speaking，government regulations normally ban anything from smoking in public places to parking in certain zones．But officials in the Brazilian town of Biritiba Mirim，70km （45miles） east of Sao Paulo，have gone far beyond that．They plan to prohibit residents from dying early because the local cemetery（墓地） has reached full capacity．
There's no more room to bury the dead，they can't be cremated（火化） and laws forbid a new cemetery．So the mayor has proposed a strange solution：outlaw death．Mayor Roberto Pereira says the bill is meant as a protest against federal regulations that prohibit new or expanded cemeteries in preservation areas．"They have not taken local demands into consideration"，he claims．
A 2003decree（法令） by Brazil's National Environment Council forbids burial grounds in protected areas．Mr．Pereira wants to build a new cemetery，but the project has been stopped because 98% of Biritiba Mirim is considered as a preservation area．
Biritiba Mirim，a town of 28，000inhabitants，not only wants to prohibit residents from passing away．The bill also calls on people to take care of their health in order to avoid death．"I haven't got a job，nor am I healthy．And now they say I can't die．That's ridiculous，"Amarido do Prado，an unemployed resident said．
The city council is expected to vote on the regulation next week．"Of course the bill is laughable，illegal，and will never be approved，"said Gilson Soares de Campos，an assistant of the mayor．"But can you think of a better resolution to persuade the government to change the environmental decree that is prohibiting us from building a new cemetery？"The bill states that"offenders will be held responsible for their acts．"However，it does not say what the punishment will be．

32．What is the bill to be proposed by the officials in Biritiba Mirim？D
A．Ban on building a new cemetery．
B．Ban on parking in certain zones．
C．Forbidding buried grounds in preservation．
D．Prohibiting residents from dying early．
33．What can we infer from the phrase"have gone far beyond that"in the first paragraph？C
A．The officials in Biritiba Mirim have made these regulations．
B．The officials in Biritiba Mirim have been to many places around the world．
C．The bill to be proposed by officials in Biritiba Mirim is much too unexpected．
D．The officials in Biritiba Mirim have built too many cemeteries in their town．
34．What's the attitude of the mayor of Biritiba Mirim towards the federal regulations？C
A．He remains silent about them．
B．He gives strong backing to them．
C．He objects to them．
D．He asks the residents for advice on them．
35．Which of the following is TRUE according to the text？C
A．The mayor of the town wants to build a new cemetery against federal regulation．
B．The residents of the town sing high praise for the bill．
C．No better resolution of the problems has been thought out．
D．The government is going to change the environmental decree．

分析 由于墓地短缺，Biritiba Mirim的官員草擬了一份不準(zhǔn)人過早的死去的法案，這引起了當(dāng)?shù)鼐用竦臓幷摚?/p>

解答 32．D．細(xì)節(jié)理解題．根據(jù)第一段中"They plan to prohibit residents from dying early…"可知，Biritiba Mirim政府計(jì)劃頒布法令禁止小鎮(zhèn)居民"英年早逝"．故選D項(xiàng)．
33．C．推理判斷題．根據(jù)前句中"Generally speaking，government regulations normally ban anything from smoking in public places to parking in certain zones．"可知，一般來說政府頒布在公共場所的"禁煙令"、某些地段"禁止泊車令"很正常．本句用but轉(zhuǎn)折，說明"have gone far beyond that"意為"不正常，意料之外"．故選C項(xiàng)．
34．C．觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題．根據(jù)最后一段中"Of course the bill is laughable，illegal，and will never be approved，"可知，他認(rèn)為這個法令是可笑的，不合法的，并且不會得到批準(zhǔn)的．故他對這個法令持反對的態(tài)度．故選C項(xiàng)．
35．C．推理判斷題．根據(jù)最后一段中"But can you think of a better resolution to persuade the government to change the environmental decree that is prohibiting us from building a new cemetery？"可知，還沒有想出更好的辦法來解決墓地的問題．故選C項(xiàng)．

點(diǎn)評 本篇文章主要是細(xì)節(jié)理解方面的題型，需要考生通過跳讀迅速找到對應(yīng)的句子進(jìn)行詳細(xì)理解，句子的理解可以結(jié)合上下文意思，通過邏輯推理得到．

9．When you meet people for the first time it's always nice to make eye contact and smile．It's a simplecourtesy and leads to a relaxed conversation．If you tend to be a shy person，this may be somewhat difficult for you．You may tend to look down or away when greeting someone．This can break the conversation right away．
In his book，How to connect in business in 90 seconds or less，Nicholas Boothman offers a really simple solution to the problem．When you meet or greet someone for the first time，just make a mental note of their eye color．This simple technique is amazingly effective．If you are looking for their eye color you'll make eye contact for a second or two．
I have found this works well one by one and is also effective in small groups．It really helps build rapport（密切關(guān)系）when giving a speech or presentation as it lets the audience member know that you are paying attention to them．
I speak quite often to groups of 10～20 people in Toastmasters．When I use this technique to make eye contact as I scan the room，I pause just long enough to build rapport with each audience member．
When you first try this you may find yourself saying blue，green，brown，etc in your mind，but you'll find it soon becomes natural and is an easy habit to develop．It's a simple exercise but you'll notice the difference right away．
Try it in you r next small group speech or presentation．Instead of an impersonal gaze over the room，
if you make eye contact，you'll find that you'll build almost instant rapport with your audience．They will pay better attention to what you are saying and it may keep them awake．

32．What is the best title for the passage？C
A．How to connect in business 　　               
B．Smile and eye．
C．Look me in the eye．
D．How to give a speech．
33．The underlined word"courtesy"in the first paragraph probably meansA．
A．polite behavior        B．bad behavior　       C．means       D．way 
34．The underlined word"it"in the fifth paragraph refers toA．
A．speech          B．keeping awake        C．rapport     D．looking for eye color
35．If you make eye contact，you will findB．
A．your audience will pay little attention to what you said 
B．your audience will build instant rapport with you 
C．your audience will be awake and active
D．your audience will admire you for your courage．

13．Living and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days，but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher．
If I have learned anything in my 16years，it is that communication is very important，both when you disagree and when you get along．With any relationship，you need to let other person know how you are feeling．If you are not able to communicate，you drift apart．When you are mad at your parents，or anyone else，not talking to them doesn't solve anything．
Communication begins with the concerns of another．It means that you can't just come home from school，go up to your room and ignore everyone．Even if you just say"Hi"，and see how their day was for five minutes，it is better than nothing．
If you looked up the word"communication"in a dictionary，it would say"the exchange of ideas，the conveyance （表達(dá)） of information，correspondence （通信），means of communication：a letter or a message"．To maintain （保持） a good relationship，you must keep communication strong．Let people know how you feel，even if it's just by writing a note．
When dealing with parents，you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent．If you are trying to make them see something as you see it，tell them that you'll listen to what they have to say，but ask them politely to listen to you．Yelling or walking away only makes the situation worse．
This is an example：one night，Sophie went to a street party with her friends．She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks，but she didn't feel she could just ask to go home．That would be rude．After all，they had been nice enough to take her along with them．Needless to say，she was late getting home．Her parents were mad at first，not when Sophie explained why she was late，they weren't as mad and let the incident go．Communication is the key factor here．If Sophie's parents had not been willing to listen，Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble．
Communication isn't a one-way deal：it goes both ways．Just remember：if you get into a situation like Sophie's，telling the other person how you feel-listening is the key factor to communication．

31．In the writer's view，dealing with parents isA than with children．
A．more difficult       
B．easier    
C．more uninteresting       
D．more interesting
32．The main idea of the second paragraph isC．
A．the importance of friendship        
B．to make your feeling known to others
C．the importance of communication    
D．the disagreement between generations
33．When parents and children are in communication，the key to a happy relationship is thatD．
A．children should always obey their parents   
B．parents should mind their own business
C．parents play the leading part             
D．both make the opposite know their feelings
34．The example in this passage proves thatD．
A．Sophie's parents are willing to listen to her
B．Sophie is very polite to her parents
C．Sophie did well in explaining her being late
D．communication is the solutionto misunderstanding
35．All the following statements are correct except"C"．
A．If you don't agree with others，you'd better let them know
B．It is better to say"Hi"to others than say nothing
C．If you are not able to communicate，walk away
D．Communication is a two-way deal．

11．It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs．In other words，they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don't．It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs．But this isn't accepted by all people．
   Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living．This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education．In fact，if education is just a way of making a living，people don't need to spend so much time in school．People can get education for a living in a short time．Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone．Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail（詳細(xì)地），either．Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living．
   Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man．It is not only to teach him to speak，read and write，but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities．After that，it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human．Education is to make a man lead a better life．Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music，read good books，watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world．
   I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education，but certainly not the most important or the main reason．
56．People with little education usuallyD．
A．spend a long time in school         
B．have a good chance to get a job
C．spend the best years to choose jobs     
D．have fewer chances to get a good job
57．The earliest education was probably toC．
A．make a man lead a better life        
B．teach a man to write and read
C．make people get a way of living    
D．teach people to read good books
58．The underlined word"well-rounded"in the passage means"D"in Chinese．
A．圓滿的           
B．嶄新的     
C．公平的          
D．全面的
59．It is expected that educated people will be able toB．
A．a(chǎn)ccept education as a way of living          
B．take an interest in the whole world
C．develop their abilities to make plays          
D．learn subjects like language and math
60．The passage mainly tells us thatA．
A．education should make a man improve          
B．people can get education in a short time
C．people should be able to get good paying jobs   
D．a(chǎn)ll subjects are so important for a way of living．
