閱讀下列應用文及相關(guān)信息,并按照要求匹配信息。請在答題卡上將對應題號的相應選項字母涂黑。
首先,請閱讀下列為讀者來信所寫的建議:
A It seems your friend works extremely hard but doesn't always achieve what she wants.I think she needs to ease the pressure on herself a bit and have some fun.How about suggesting that you both go for a picnic together? Have an outing together so that she is away from her studies.She may open out a bit then. |
B Discuss this with your parents before you decide anything;they've invested time and money in giving you the best education,and they might want you to continue.Discuss the choices with your school and university,and they might be able to help you out.I assume you will have a few months before you start university.Maybe you can take that time to work and help your parents, and maybe keep a part time job while you attend university. |
C It is time to confront your mother.It is not her future to decide,but it is yours.If it is a money issue,then you can wait a little longer.If not,then just confront her.Do not be afraid.My suggestion to you is,“Never give up your dream”,aim for what you want,and don't let a simple“no”stop you from what you love. |
D Confidence comes from within.This often leads to your becoming more confident naturally.Make a plan in your head,try and smile at one complete stranger every day.Build up to making small talk to one person a day if you can.Once you realize that you can do it,then it will only get easier. Join out-of-school activities that you are interested in and you may find lots of people in the same situation as yourself. I wish you luck! |
E Is it so important to get your exams? Could you find something that really suits you with an understanding company or employer that will help you gain experience and work up the ladder from a practical point of view rather than an academic result.I sometimes think that work experience is more important.You may have to come a bit closer to home and start from there to avoid the upset and ignorance of ot hers.Hope this helps. |
F You need to believe in your own powers.I guess one way you can learn to do that is to set challenges for yourself,and then work to meet them,one by one.Gradually,you won't be able to deny to yourself that you can get things done.And that will improve your confidence,and will also help you see what you can't do.Start small,and never give in.You should see results in some time.I wish you the best. |
以下是讀者來信,請匹配來信與其對應的建議:
56.I have had learning difficulties all my life and life is impossible.I fail at everything I do and I'm left behind,like years behind.For people with no learning difficulties,life is always easier but that's not me.What people with learning difficulties are left by years while those don't move up the ladder quicker? The people like me are just left labeled a stupid guy,life passes by for me and people without learning difficulties go ahead without failing exams and life is great for them.People like me have to wait another year to repeated exams or maybe two while peers go on.
57.I'm from Europe and it's been a long time that I'm thinking of spending 6 months in the USA.in a High School.It's my dream.I asked my mom but she doesn't want me to go there.She didn't say why! I've spoken with people who went to study in the US and they told me that when I come back I'll be different.We don't have a lot of interesting courses like Americans.The cost is 5,300 Euros.I don't know how to say to my mom that I want to go there and that's my dream,and it'll be great for my future… Could you help me?
58.I have a friend.We studied at the same school.Before she did the Entrance Examination,she had hoped to study in the department of Dentistry(牙醫(yī)).She concentrated on her books.She read the books and did the exercise too much.After we did the Entrance Examination,she told me her scores were not enough.It meant she couldn't study in the department that she had hoped.I still encourage her.She told me she was all right,but I think she was sad.I want to help her feel better.What should I do?
59.I have serious confidence issues,and today I went to my first day of a new school.Unfortunately I have been at the same school previously my whole life.Yeah I have mates outside of school and that,but that one day has just changed everything about how I feel.I thought in my previous school I could make a difference in the world,but now I'm just lost,confused and I know no one.I'm not very sociable either,and just not comfortable with the environment.How can I be more sociable? Confident? Everything? HELP!!
60.I am writing to you to seek advice.My name is Nawel.I'll sit for my BAC exam soon.I'll certainly succeed,but my parents are old and are in need of financial help. I'd really like to help them.However,if I do,I'll have to give up my dream of becoming a doctor.On one hand, if I decided to help,I'll have to give up my registration at University.On the other hand,if I don't,I'll feel guilty of not helping my family.I have no one to turn to.What should I do?

One of my longest-running battles with my kids is about manners specifically,about whether it's necessary to send hand-written thank-you notes for gifts.I say yes,and my children have continued throughout their teens to write the notes.But they grumble that I'm out of step with the times.
If a new BabyCenter poll is any guide, I'm not alone.A surprisingly large number of parents still insist that their children practice such old-fashioned manners as putting pen-to-paper to say thank you,treating adults with respect and addressing adults as “Mr., Mrs.or Miss.”A majority of the 1,000 parents surveyed also said they insist at dinner that children keep napkins in their laps,ask to be excused from the table and refrain from talking with a full mouth.
Among the reasons cited most often by parents,BabyCenter says,is that “the world is a more free-wheeling place,and they want to give their kids a stronger moral compass to guide them.”This thinking was affirmed by 64%of those surveyed.And 58%say they see so many badly behaved kids around them that they're determined to raise their children differently.
This poses a particular challenge for parents who work outside the home and must find a sitter, nanny or other child-care provider who will insist on the manners they consider most important.
Pediatrician(兒科醫(yī)生)Perri Klass wrote recently in the New York Times about her annoyance at a rude,demanding child who was among her longtime patients.Although she veiled her injunctions to the mother in euphemisms(委婉語),talking to her about “setting limits,”Dr.Klass wrote,“I do pass judgment on kids with bad manners and so does every pediatrician I know.”Rude kids make her wonder whether there is something wrong with the family,among other things,she says.“The whole ‘manners’ concept might seem a bit odd,”she says,“until you recast(重新界定)it as ‘social skills’ a hot-button child-development issue,as I wrote in a recent column.”
Readers,what manners do you insist upon for your children? Has other kids' bad behavior led you to toughen your standards? Do the strict rules embraced by parents in the BabyCenter survey seem right,or too formal?
51.What does the underlined sentence in the second paragraph refer to?
A.None of the parents like the author stuck to traditional manners.
B.Most of the children are in favor of out-of-date manners.
C.A majority of the parents like the author fall behind the times.
D.A large quantity of parents prefer to pass the good manners to their children.
52.Which of the following reasons can account for parents' attitudes towards children's behavior formation?
A.Children need to develop the virtue which will show them the right way.
B.Only well-behaved children will have a bright future.
C.Children without good manners cannot deal with the challenges in the world.
D.The badly-behaved children will do harm to the society.
53. are the right persons to attend to the children while the parents work outside.
A.Those who do good cooking B.Those who ignore the good manners
C.Those who focus on virtue D.Those who have a sense of humor
54.According to Perri Klass,it can be inferred that .
A.it is hard to help the rude children to get rid of the bad manners
B.parents ought to set up a good example for their children in good manners
C.it is the society that should take on the responsibility to educate children
D.parents and society don't have any influence over the rude children
55.Which column in the newspaper is the passage selected from?
A.Campus Life Section B.Classified Advertising

LV Tiantian, a graduate student majoring in ethics at Jiangsu University in Zhenjiang,has spent years reading Aristotle and Plato.She has debated with classmates about the meaning of “happiness” and in written papers about the role of morality in society.But as LV prepares to enter the professional world,she's finding that her background isn't getting her a lot of job interviews.“Employers do not seem to value the theories and philosophy that we liberal arts majors have learned,”said LV,24.“I earned far fewer interview chances than those majoring in more practical subjects in science and technology.”
According to a 2009 survey conducted by Zhongqing Shijia Survey Net and China Enterprise News,science graduates enjoy higher employment rates and salaries than liberal arts students do.Things aren't much different overseas.The New York Times reports that job listings for professors in English,literature and foreign languages dropped 21 percent for the 2008-2009 academic year-the biggest decline in 34 years.As a result,some American educators are calling for universities to abandon the “old Ivory Tower view of liberal education”.They want to put more emphasis on the practical and economic aspects of education.
Chinese educational experts tend to agree up to a point.But abandoning emphasis on the humanities altogether,they say,brings great risk.“The liberal arts do not generate any tangible(實體的)material wealth,but it does convey social values.And it passes spiritual heritage from one generation to another,”said Niu Dakui,an expert on education at Beijing Normal University.“If the humanities are discarded,our youngsters will lose their way.”
Anthony T.Kronman,a professor of law at Yale,goes even further.He argues that the greed,irresponsibility and fraud that put the world in the current financial mess will only get worse without a new emphasis on the humanities.In his view,this is the time to re-examine “what we care about and what we value”―something that the humanities” are extremely well-equipped to address”.
How this debate plays out may very well determine the future of Chinese high school education.Some people want high school students to be able to specialize in science during their high school years.Others think they should get a more rounded education with a substantial number of hours in the arts and humanities.
46.The example of LV Tiantian listed in first paragraph tells us that .
A.the current job market has been hard on students from the humanities
B.fewer employers want graduates with backgrounds in science and technology
C.more employers want graduates good at languages,literature and history
D.graduates find it hard to get job interviews,let alone a good job
47.According to the passage,that science graduates have a brighter future in their career than those majoring in humanities is .
A.a(chǎn) nationwide problem B.a(chǎn) worldwide phenomenon
C.a(chǎn)n individual issue D.a(chǎn) regional matter
48.What does the underlined word “discarded” mean in the third paragraph?
A.a(chǎn)dopted B.a(chǎn)bandoned C.strengthened D.exchanged
49.Anthony T.Kronman points out that the root of the recent economical crisis is .
A.the poor economic reforms led by the government
B.the poor knowledge in finance taught by the university
C.the weakness in personality caused by lack of literature
D.the well-equipped schooling provided by the college
50.What is the best title for this passage?
A.The Meaning of “Happiness”
B.The Debate on Liberal Arts and Science
C.Job Chances and Major Subjects
D.Social Values and the Financial Mess

A friend asks me “Why don't Chinese go Dutch?” So I want to regard this question as the topic and write an article.As everyone knows,westerners will go Dutch while having a meal in the restaurant.But Chinese don't go Dutch.Chinese will pay the bill and check out generously.Westerners don't often entertain guests;but Chinese often invite friends to dinner.A lot of westerners feel puzzled to this question.
Why does there exist such a difference? First of all,food systems between China and West are different.Chinese put into practice Gather Dining System;westerners put into practice Individual Dining System.Everybody can share the delicious food of all over the table when eating Chinese food.Please note it is sharing,but westerners just eat the food in one's own plate.If you eat beef and he eats chicken,it is impossible that you taste the flavor of his chicken.The result of the Individual Dining System is that you can only eat the food in your plate.
So to eat Chinese food is happier than to eat Western-style food.And I want to ask you a question.Do you like the free thing? I think nobody doesn't like the free thing.Ok! Suppose I invite you to eat the delicious Chinese food,then I pay the bill.This is equivalent to that you have enjoyed a delicious Chinese food free.So you will be very glad.It will strengthen the relation between us in the happy atmosphere.
Secondly,westerners eat for the health;Chinese eat for the friendship.Westerners advocate individualism and independence is strong.So westerners express that respect for each other's independence through the way go Dutch.Chinese like making friends and solidarity.Chinese value the interpersonal relationships and the friendship very much.
Third,it is only simple “Have a meal!” for westerners to entertain guests.Unlike the purpose and the means that Chinese entertain guests,in Americans' idea,“Have a meal” definition is to add fuel to the body for keeping health and normal life activity.That is to say,there is not any additional value.In the Chinese idea,“Have a meal” not only is a kind of life enjoyment,but also is the means to promote friendship between the friends.After enjoying the sumptuous delicious food,you are glad,and I am glad too.The friendship between the friends has been strengthened in this kind of atmosphere.
41.What does “go Dutch” mean?
A.They will pay for the meal separately. B.Either part will pay for the meal.
C.They will go to Dutch for a meal. D.They can enjoy a meal free of charge.
42.The differences between Western and Chinese Dinning System lie in the following aspects EXCEPT .
A.individual and gathering
B.the purpose for health and for the friendship
C.health maintenance and life enjoyment
D.opposition and dependence
43.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Westerners will share the food in their plates with each other.
B.Chinese would like the free meal so they never pay the bill.
C.Westerners don't value the friendship so they never pay the meal for others.
D.Chinese attitudes towards the meal seem more complicated than westerners'.
44.The underlined word “means” in the fifth paragraph refers to .
A.the definition of “Have a meal!” B.the way of strengthening the friendship

Made from the hide (獸皮) of bushy-haired animals, fur is known as the first material used for clothing. It was used by early humans like the hominoids (類人猿) to keep warm during the winter season or when they traveled to cooler regions. Traditionally, animals were hunted down to produce fur coats. At present though, some animals like the mink (水貂) and the fox are bred and farmed for their fur. Now, wearing fur is considered a luxury because of its price and availability.
Fur coats are produced and used all over the world especially in cooler countries like Russia and Northern Europe. These usually made from the fur of bigger animals like bears, wolves and foxes which are hunted down for their meat and hide. Because of this, several of their species have become endangered. Yet, until now, there has been no law passed to regulate the fur industry. That’s why Animal rights groups, including stars, continue to campaign against fur clothing including fur coat manufacturing.
Dennis Rodman is the first man, and the first sports star, to do a photo shoot for PETA’s “Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” series.
During the Fashion Week of NYC in 2005, Rodman came not to sit in the front row at a show, but to unveil his provocative (挑釁的, 震動的) new PETA ad. In the very tents where designers were pushing fur. In PETA’s ad, Rodman appears nude (赤裸的) --- except for his tattoos --- alongside the caption ( 插圖說明),” Think Ink, Not Mink,” and urges :” Be comfortable in your own skin and let animals keep theirs.”
Rodman watched Pamela Anderson’s three-minute video showing how animals live and die before being made into fur coats. “If you actually look at the video firsthand, it gives you a different perspective on animals and how they’re treated. It’s heart-wrenching to see what they go through,” he said.
51. According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true ?
A. People raise minks and foxes to get their fur.
B. Early humans used fur to keep warm.
C. There are blanks in legal system to regulate the fur industry.
D. Many species have been extinct because of the need for fur.
52. By quoting the example of Dennis Rodman, the author intends to show that _______ .
A. Stars take advantage of every opportunity to make themselves famous
B. Stars are less likely to wear fur.
C. More and more stars have taken part in the campaign against fur clothing.
D. Stars belong to Animal rights groups.
53. The underlined word “heart-wrenching” in the last paragraph most probably means __________ .
A. upset and painful B. surprising C. interesting D. encouraging
54. Which of the following has NOT been mentioned in the passage ?
A. How people get fur. B. Why fur is expensive.
C. Who is Dennis Rodman. D. What Pamela Anderson’s video is about.
55. What is the best title for this passage ?
A. Fur Industry
B. Campaign Against Fur Clothing
C. Animals Are Endangered
D. An Animal Rights Activist
