3.On May 3,2002,archaeologists in England found a grave of a man dating back to around 2300BC.Buried with him were the tools of a hunter or warrior.There was a bone pin that may have been from a piece of clothing such as a leather coat.He carried a copper knife on his breast.The most amazing find was two gold earrings.That would have made him a man of distinction.Only a few centimeters from his head were two pots made of clay,tools and materials to make arrows,a bow and a dozen arrows for hunting and a second,smaller copper knife.Next to them lay a cushion stone,upon which the man could work metal.
His grave is the richest of any found from that period,because this man was buried with two gold earrings which are the oldest gold ever found in Britain (dated to 2470BC).Besides,he was buried three miles from Stonehenge.Archaeologists tend to believe he was a member of a powerful class who might have organized the construction of Stonehenge.
Stonehenge was begun around 3,000BC.In about 2300BC the huge stone circles were built.The biggest stone weighed approximately 20tons.But the smaller blue stones,still weighing 4tons on average,came from west Wales.It is not yet known how these were conveyed over a distance of 380km.It is also a mystery how early man was able to construct Stonehenge without the use of modern construction machines and lorries.
He is an example of people who brought culture and new techniques from the European mainland to Britain.In terms of technical development people were going from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age and then to the Iron Age.
28.Which are not included in the things that are found in the grave of a man?C
A.Tools,a bone pin,a bow and a cushion stone.
B.A copper knife and two gold earrings.
C.Some chicken and grains.
D.Two pots,tools and materials to make arrows.
29.The man buried in the grave might beD at that time.
A.a(chǎn) poor man            
B.a(chǎn) warm-hearted man
C.a(chǎn)n ordinary man        
D.a(chǎn) rich man
30.Why is the man buried in the grave called the"King of Stonehenge"?D
A.He was buried three miles from Stonehenge.
B.He had the oldest gold ever found in Britain.
C.He might be a member of a powerful class who might have organized the construction of Stonehenge.
D.All of the above.
31.We can infer thatA.
A.Stonehenge was built through several ages
B.the King of Stonehenge was from France
C.how Stonehenge was built
D.Stonehenge was built because of war.

11.A new eight-kilometre road is under construction that links the port area with the motorway system.It is expected to carry 20,000trucks and cars a day,which greatly reduces the overcrowded traffic in the center of the city.As part of the project,two four-kilometre road tunnels are being built below the central area of the city,one for traffic to the north and the other for traffic to the south.The two tunnels are about 20metres below the surface and are 12metres wide,providing for two lanes of traffic in each direction.
In the upper part of the tunnel two air-conditioning pipes remove the waste gas of trucks and cars and keep the quality of air inside the tunnel.The lighting is at the top of the tunnel,practically at its highest point.There will also be electronic signs at frequent intervals (間隔).They show traffic conditions ahead,and can be seen clearly by drivers.The wall is made up of four main elements,which include a waterproofing covering and,on the inside of the tunnel,a concrete lining (混凝土襯砌).
Each tunnel is roughly round and the lower part of the tunnel is somewhat flat.The surface of the road lies on the base,which is made of concrete and steel.The drainage system (排水系統(tǒng)),just below the road surface on one side,removes any extra liquid,particularly water.In the event of fire,the fire main,which is made of steel,pipes water to many fire hydrant stations at regular intervals along the length of the tunnel.The fire main is at the side of the tunnel,and at the level of the road surface.Other systems in the tunnel will include emergency phones.

12.Each of the tunnels under construction isD.
A.eight kilometers long and twelve metres wide    
B.eight kilometers long and six metres wide
C.four kilometers long and twelve metres wide     
D.four kilometers long and six metres wide
13.Which part of the tunnel in the diagram is used to pipe out extra water?C
A.1                
B.3                 
C.5               
D.6
14.Driving in the tunnel,one can know the traffic conditions ahead throughB.
A.the lights 
B.the electronic signs
C.the trucks and cars 
D.the emergency phones
15.The passage is mainly aboutD.
A.the construction of a road 
B.the design of a road
C.the construction of two tunnels 
D.the design of two tunnels.

18.LONDON(Reuters)--Organic fruit,delivered right to the doorstep.That is what Gabriel Gold prefers,and he is willing to pay for it.If this is not possible,the 26-year-old computer technician will spend the extra money at the supermarket to buy organic food.
"Organic produce is always better,"--Gold said."The food is free of pesticides(農(nóng)藥),and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms.And more often than not it is locally(本地)grown and seasonal,so it is more tasty."Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend,and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business.But how many shoppers really know what they are getting,and why are they willing to pay a higher price for organic produce?Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences-but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete.For example,small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products.And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported(進口)to meet growing demand."The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year,so it is a very fast-growing market,"said Sue Flock,a specialist in this line of business.
25.More and more people in Britain are buying organic food becauseB.
A.they are getting richer                
B.they consider the food free of pollution
C.they can get the food anywhere         
D.they like home-grown fruit
26.Which of the following statements is true to the facts about most organic produce sold in Britain?A
A.It is produced outside Britain.
B.It grows indoors all year round.
C.It is grown on family farms.
D.It is produced on large farms.
27.What is the meaning of"the organic trend"in the paragraph 2in the text?C
A.rising market for organic food            
B.better quality of organic food
C.growing interest in organic food

15.Family Photo Competition:The Winners!Adult winner:Anna Marriage,42,from Hertfordshire
This is just one photograph from a huge collection I have of my four children growing up.It was taken with a camera fastened to my husband's chest.I think it conveys all the joy and spirit of our family while also being wonderfully creative and powerfully visual.
Adult runner-up:Chris Evans,49,from London
This photo was taken on the beach of Norfolk.We've been going there as a family for the last six years-the kids always look forward to a traditional holiday with sandy beaches,picnics and ice creams.This picture has our three children playing in a sand hole on the beach.It took them less time to dig the hole than it would to complete a level of Sonic the Hedgehog-a video game-but they had twice as much fun!
Under-18s winner:Rhiane Cunningham,17,from Colchester
I thought up the idea while watching my dog sit near our boots,wanting to go for a walk.It took quite a few attempts to get her to stay still,but I finally got this one.I really like this photo because it looks as if my dog is saying,"Can we go for a walk now?"
Under-18s runner-up:Hope Simpson,13,from County Durham
This is a photo of me,my mum and dad,my brother and our dog.I took it with my cellphone.It's a special picture because it was the first time we'd been able to go out for a walk in over a year-I was recovering from CRPS (復雜性局部疼痛綜合癥) and had been in a wheelchair.But my family got me through a really tough time.

12.To be successful in any aspect of life,you need to know when to use the carrot or the stick.
Here are a few tips to help you decide whether it's better to use the carrot or the stick.
With the kids
The carrot
When it comes to raising a kid,the carrot or the stick dilemma is quickly disappearing as too many parents take the carrot approach to the extreme.In child raising,the carrot should never be materialistic things.If you want to ask for good behavior with a reward,it should be with something that can't be bought,say,trust.
The stick
Nowadays,no one likes to use the stick anymore,or in my father's case,the belt.I'm not overlooking child abuse,if you ever want to call it that,but I am encouraging parents to toughen up a bit.You don't want your kid to test your limits only to find out he can get away with it.If you want to raise a kid,raise the hand and let him know it comes down on the second offense.
At the office
The carrot
People need encouragement and motivation to perform well.However,the carrot only really works well with employees who have already proved themselves.If you've got someone who can't show up at the office before noon,the promise of a raise isn't going to do much.On the contrary,if there's a guy with a good work moral,he'll thrive(grow stronger) when you add a promotion to the picture.
The stick
When considering the carrot or the stick in the office,remember that,overall,the stick is the more practical method in the office.A wise man,who just happened to be an Italian,once said"It's best to be both loved and feared."It's nice to have everyone love you,but running a business isn't like running a family.You need to have the stick constantly raised.
With the wife
The carrot
When it comes to marriage,always use the carrot.I've had a lovely marriage for many years,and I've always stuck to the carrot approach.
Sometimes you catch more flies with honey,and sometimes it's the crack of a whip that gets the horse moving.Try not to use too many sticks in the bedroom; the carrot is much more fun.
51.What is the best title of this passage?C
A.Tips in the daily life
B.The advantages of the carrot and the stick
C.The carrot or the stick?
D.The introduction to the carrot and the stick
52.In kids raising,the author prefersD.
A.both the carrot approach and the stick approach
B.neither the carrot approach nor the stick approach
C.the carrot approach
D.the stick approach
53.Which do you think is the best to be a good boss at the office?A
A.Being both loved and feared  
B.Using too many sticks
C.Always using carrots.
D.Eating a lot of carrots
54.Which is NOT true according to the passage?C
A.On different occasions,the carrot or the stick is effective.
B.You need stick to get your horses to move faster occasionally.
C.The author often gives more carrots to his wife to eat in the bedroom.
D.The carrot is much more fun when it comes to marriage.

13.A simple flower made headlines (頭條新聞) in the British press last week.How could that be?British Prime Minister David Cameron and his ministers were attending a reception hosted by Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.They insisted on wearing poppies (罌粟花) in their buttonholes.
What's wrong with that?
According to the Global Times,Chinese officials clearly had asked the UK delegation(代表團)not to wear poppies.The British said that poppies meant a great deal to them on that day and they would wear them all the same.
So what's the importance of the poppy?It's a flower which has different cultural and symbolic meanings for British and Chinese people.
From the Chinese point of view,the poppy is a symbol of China's humiliation at the hands of European powers in the Opium Wars of the 19th century.Britain forced China to open the borders to trade-including in the opium-which was made from poppies grown in India.
Yet from the British viewpoint the poppy is a reminder of the killing during World War  I.Red poppies grew on the battlefields of Flanders in Belgium where many thousands of British soldiers died or were buried.Since then,Poppy Day (November 11)has become a time in the UK to wear poppies and remember the sacrifices of British soldiers and civilians in times of war.
So you can see that the poppy sets off strong feelings in the hearts of Chinese and British people for different reasons.And it makes sense for us to try to understand each other's standpoint (立場).Of course cultural differences can also be interesting and funny.And what one nation thinks is an acceptable gift may be viewed differently by their guest from overseas.US President Barack Obama gave a gift of an iPod to Britain's Queen-a dull person with no interest in music.Obama also presented Gordon Brown with a fine selection of American movies.But they were in US format(模式)and impossible to play on British DVD players.
Many countries have diploma (外交官) stationed overseas.Diplomats provide information and advice to their governments back home.However,sometimes it would seem that even diplomats can overlook(忽視)the cultural importance of a small flower.
