But I decided to give them anothershotbecause Im in London. And my friend Mallery invited me. And because dinner parties in London are very different from those in New York.There Im having a dinner party means: Im booking a table for 12 at a restaurant you cant afford and well be sharing the cheque evenly (平均地), no matter what you eat. Worse, in Manhattan there is always someone who leaves before the bill arrives. Theyll throw down cash, half of what they owe, and then people like me, whodont drink, end up paying even more. But if you try to use the same trick, the hostess will shout: Where are you going ? And I cannot say I have somewhere to go because everyone knows I have nowhere to go. But in London, dinner parties are in peoples homes. Not only that, the guests are an interesting mix.The last time I went to one, the guests were from France, India, Denmark and Nigeria; it was like a gathering at the United Nations. In New York, the mix is less striking. Its like a gathering atBloomingdatles, a well-known department store.For New Yorkers, talking about other parts of the world means Brooklyn and Queens in New York.But at Mallerys, when I said that I had been to Myanmar recently, people knew where it was, while In New York people would think it was a usual club.21. What does the word shot in Paragraph 1 probably mean? A. TryB. Choice.C. StyleD. Goal22. What does the writer dislike most about dinner parties in New York? A. There is a strange mix of people.B. The restaurants are expensive. C. The bill is not fairly shared. D. People have to pay cash.23. What does the author think of the parties in London? A. A bit unusual B. Full of tricks C. Less costly D. More interesting24. What is the authors opinion of some New Yorkers from her experience? A. Easy-going.B. Self-centered.C. Generous.D. Conservative.BWhen I first got an e-mail account ten years ago, I received communications only from family, friends, and colleagues. Now it seems that every time I check my e-mail, I have an endless series of advertisements and othercorrespondence that do not interest me at all. If we want e-mail to continue to be useful, we need specific laws that make spamming(发送垃圾邮件)a crime. If lawmakers do not do something soon to prohibit spam,the problem will certainly get much worse. Computer programs allow spammers to send hundreds of millions of e-mails almost instantly. As more and more advertisers turn to spam to sell their products,individual(个人的) e-mail boxes are often flooded with spam e-mails. Would people continue to use e-mailif they had to deal with an annoying amount of spam each time？ This problem is troubling for individuals and companies as well. Many spam e-mails contain computer viruses that can shut down the entire network of a company. Companies rely on e-mail for their employees to communicate with each other. Spam frequently causes failures in their local communicationsnetworks, and their employees are thus unable to communicate effectively. Such a situation results in a loss of productivity and requires companies to repeatedly repair their networks. These computer problems raise production costs of companies, which are, in the end, passes on to the consumer. For these reasons, I believe that lawmakers need to legislate(立法) against spam. Spammers should be fined,and perhaps sent to prison if they continue to disturb people. E-mail is a tool which helps people all over the world to communicate conveniently, but spam is destroying this convenience.25. What does the underlined word correspondence in the Paragraph 1 probably mean? A messagesB. ideas C. connectionsD. programs26. According to the text, what is the major cause of theflooding spam?A. Companies rely on e-mail for communications.B. More people in the world communicate by e-mail.C. Many computer viruses contain spam e-mail.D. More advertisers begin to promote sales through spam.27 . According to Paragraph 3, who is the final victim of spam?B. The business.B.The consumer. C. The employee. D.The advertiser.28. What is the purpose of the text?A. To persuade.B. To educate. C. To inform.D. To instruct. C We Chinese are not big hungersA handshake or a pat on the shoulder is enough to convey our friendship or affection to one anotherSo when our newly-acquainted Western friends reach out in preparation for a hug，some of us feel awkwardMany questions go through our headWhere should I put my arms ? What distance should I maintain? Should our chests touch? But it isnt just people from cultures that are conservative（保守的） in expressing physical contact who find hugging confusingHugs can cause discomfort or even distress in people who value their personal space In a recent article for The Wall Street Journal，US psychologist Peggy Drexler said that although the US remains a“medium touch”culture，Americans do seem to be hugging moreFrom politicians to celebrities，hugs are given to friends，strangers and enemies alike，whether they are willing or not；and the public has been quick topick up the practice Public figures know that nothing expresses likability(亲和力)like a good hugUS First Lady Michelle Obama has put her arms around icy foreign leaders like Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and the Queen of EnglandPop superstar Lady Gaga is also a hug enthusiast，telling her fans that“I will always，always，try my very best to wrap my arms around you when I meet you” But not all are grateful to be hugged，even by the most influential and famousTo them，any hug is offensive if its not sincereAmanda Hess，writing for US magazine Slate，says public figures should stop imposing hugs on everyone they meetFor them，a hug is rarely a gesture of sincere fellowship，compassion or affectionIts all part of a show29Fromthefirstfourparagraphs,wecanseethat_.A.weChinesepeopledontknowhowtohugB.peoplefromEuropeancountriesoftengetpuzzledabouthuggingC.peopleinWesterncountriesseldomusehugstoexpresstheirphysicalclosenessD.hugscanbringpressuretopeoplewhenusedimproperly30Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined phrase“pick up the practice”AEnjoy the medium touch culture BFollow the trendCGive hugs to enemies DResist physical touch31What can we learn from the last paragraphAPeople are grateful to hugs of any kindBA hug is a gesture of friendshipCA famous persons hug is usually sincereDAn insincere hug is a part of show DThe bar-tailed godwit （斑尾鷸）has just broken its own record for the worlds longest non-stop flight, including humans in planes, according to a report made by Lund University Press. The bird can fly non-stop for eight days, while the most impressive man-made airplane can only remain in the sky for 82 hours without a stop. The bar-tailed godwits journey, from Alaska to New Zealand, covers over 6,835 miles. It completes this trip twice a year, in autumn going to New Zealand, and in spring back to Alaska. The tireless bird ends the trip without stopping once for food or rest. All other birds can only finish trips that are twice as short as what the bar-tailed godwit travels. One reason for the bar-tailed godwits success is that it has made the best use of its fuel, which is only 0.41 percent of its body weight over each hour of any given long flight. Hedenstrom, a professor from Lund University, says, “This figure is extremely low compared with other birds.” The bird also has a special body shape that helps it fly easily. It stores body fat and protein to manage its trips. It also travels fast, compared to other birds and animals. Many questions remain about this bird record holder that never gets lost in the air. Researchers wonder whether it has an inside compass (指南针) that helps it to know the direction. Please watch how beautiful bar-tailed godwits look as they come in for a landing, along with other birds.32. For the flight from Alaska to New Zealand, the bar-tailed godwit_A. should fly less than 7,000 metersB. is afraid of hot weatherC. seems very tired at lastD. doesnt need to stop to eat33. The main reason why the bar-tailed godwit can break the record is that it _.A. eats little food every hourB. has a special body shapeC. stores much water in its bodyD. has very light body weight34. The last paragraph tells us that _.A. researchers have understood the bird very wellB. the bird has a very good sense of directionC. there are still many who doubt the birds abilityD. the bird has an inner compass35. what is the text mainly about? A. A bird that breaks the record for the longest non-stop flight. B. Birds and airplanes that can fly over a long distance flight. C. Reasons for the bar-tailed godwits long-distance flights. D. An introduction to long-distance flights of birds and humans. EWhile you may be doing everything right, ignoring just one or two steps in the process may keep you from getting a job, especially in this fierce market. Here is a checklist that covers some of the major links in the job-search chain.1, Prepare a good resume. Make sure it is up-to-date and tailored to the types of jobs you are seeking for. 36_If you cannot afford a career coach, give your resume to friends or family members to check.
