It is 36 less pleasant, like 37 in by your boss to explain why you did this and did that, and why you did not do this 38 that. Terrible music, indeed, but it has to 39 . At some time or 40 , every one of us has had to “face the music”, especially as children. We can all remember fathers 41 voice, “I want to talk to you!” and only 42 we did not obey him. What an unpleasant business it 43 !The phrase “to face the music” is known 44 every American, young and old. It is at least 100 years old. Where did the 45 e from?The first 46 es from American novelist James Fennimore Cooper. He said, in 1851, 47 the expression was first 48 by actors while waiting in the 49 to go on stage. After they got their clue (暗示) to go on, they often said, “Its time to go to face the music.” And this is 50 what they did face the orchestra (管弦乐队) which was just below the stage.An actor might be frightened or 51 as he moved on to the stage in front of him. The audience might be friendly, or perhaps unfriendly, especially 52 he forgot his lines. But he had to go out. If he did not, there would be no play. So, “to face the music” 53 to mean: having to go 54 something, no matter how unpleasant the 55 might be, because you knew you had no choice.36AanythingBsomethingCnothingDeverything37Acall BcalledCcallingDbeing called38AorBandCbutDwith39AfaceBfacingCbeing facedDbe faced40AotherBthe otherCanotherDothers41AloudBangryCcalmDworried42AbecauseBsinceCunlessDin case43AisBhad beenCwas Dhas been44AbyBforCtoDof45AquestionBproverbCinformationDexpression46AsayingBmethodCexplanationDpoint47AwhenBwhyCwhetherDthat48AusedBsaidCtakenDsent49AclothesBwingsCmasksDwords50AperhapsBexactlyCmainlyDalso51AsatisfiedBproudCnervousDmysterious52AifBwhileCbeforeDuntil53AwentBcameCcontinuedDgot54AthroughBbyConDinto55AproblemBexperienceCincidentDevent第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。AAs De Witt Wallace lay in bed recovering from injuries that he unfortunately came by in World War I, he found there was a wealth of interesting information to read. Realizing few people would have the time to get through all this information, he knew exactly what to do. In 1920, this young American submitted a sample magazine containing shortened articles to publishers across America. However, all turned him down.The magazine became popular and, by 1935, sales topped one million. In 1938, the first international edition was published in the United Kingdom. During World War II, editions were published for the first time in Latin America and Sweden. After the war Readers Digest moved into Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Italy, Norway, South Africa and Switzerland. In 1959, music, the first non print product line, was introduced. In 1962, Readers Digest revolutionized direct mail by introducing easy to enter Sweepstakes and a year later the first Readers Digest general book was published. In 1986, video was added to the Readers Digest product line.In 1973, the Wallaces gave up active management of Readers Digest. De Witt died in 1981, aged 91; Lila in 1984, aged 94. with no heirs to the Wallace empire to take control, Readers Digest became a public pany in the early 1990s and is now headed by a Chief Executive Office and Chairman of the Board.56What is purpose of De Witt Wallace creating the earliest magazine? ATo bee wealthy.BTo offer people information.CTo heal the wounds from the war.DTo turn down uninteresting stories.57When did De Will make his first trial of the magazine?ABefore World War I.BIn 1920.CIn 1922.DIn 1935.58What is mainly talked about in the first two paragraphs?AThe first issue of Readers Digest.BThe first trial of De Witt Wallaces dream.CDe Witt Wallaces character and marriage.DThe humble beginnings of Readers Digest.59Which of the following is the right order for the history of Readers Digest?aThe Select Edition came out.bThe Wallaces retired from the management of Readers Digest.cThe magazine sold over million copies.dThe product line was improved by means of videos.eEditions in other languages were published. Ac e a b dBe a c b dCc e a d b Da c e d b 60What can be known about Readers Digest from the passage?AReaders Digest only published shortened or general books.BAfter World War II Readers Digest was published all over the world.CReaders Digest was first private owned and later public owned. DReaders Digest has always been headed by a Chief Executive Office.BWithout most people realizing it, there has been a revolution in office work over the last ten years. Before that time, large puters were only used by large, rich panies that could afford the investment. With the advancement of technology, small puters have e onto the market, which are capable of doing the work that used to be done by much larger and expensive puters, so now most smaller panies can use them.The main development in small puters has been in the field of word processors (处理器), or WPS as they are often called. 40% of British offices are now estimated to have a word processor and this percentage is growing fast.There are many advantages in using a word processor for both secretary and manager. The secretary is freed from a lot of daily work, such as re typing letters and storing papers. He or she can use this time to do other more interesting work for the boss. From a managers point of view, secretarial time is being made better use of and money can be saved by doing daily jobs automatically outside office hours.But is it all good? If a lot of daily secretarial work can be done automatically, surely this will mean that fewer secretaries will be needed. Another worry is the increasing medical problems related to work with visual display units (显示器). The case of a slow loss of sight among people using word processors seems to have risen greatly. It is also feared that if a woman works at a CDU for long hours, the unborn child in her body might be killed. Safety screens to put over a VDU have been invented but few panies in England bother to buy them.Whatever the arguments for and against word processor, they are a key feature (特征) of this revolution in office practice.61Ten years ago, smaller panies did not use large puters because .Athese panies had not enough money to buy such expensive putersBthese puters could not do the work that small puters can do today.Cthese puters did not e onto the marketDthese panies did not need to use this new technology62According to the writer, the main feature of the revolution in office work over the last ten years is . Athe saving of time and moneyBthe use of puters in small paniesCthe wide use of word processorsDthe decreasing number of secretaries63It is implied but not directly stated in the passage that with the use of word processors . Asome secretaries will lose their jobsBdaily jobs can be done automatically outside office hoursCmedical problems related to work with a VDU have increased greatlyDthe British panies will make less money64Which of the following statements is NOT true?AThere are both advantages and disadvantages in using a word processor.BThe British panies care much for the health of the people using word processors.CThe technology in the field of puters has been greatly advanced over the last ten years.DUsing word processors, secretaries can get more time to do more interesting work for their bosses. 65It can be concluded from the passage that .Asafety screens are of poor qualityBworking at a VDU for a log time is good for ones healthCmore and more British offices will use word processorsDBritish panies will need fewer and fewer managersCIt was Thanksgiving morning and in the crowded kitchen of my small home I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together inside the storm door on the top step.“Any old papers, lady?” asked one of them.I was busy. I wanted to say “no” until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals, wet with heavy snow.“e in and Ill make you a cup of hot cocoa.”They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread with jam to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started again on my household budget.The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich?”I looked at my shabby slipcovers. The girl put her cup back in its saucer carefully and said, “Your cups match your saucers.” Her voice was hungry with a need that no amount of food could supply. They left after that, holding their bundles of papers against the wind. They hadnt said “Thank you.” They didnt need to. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful. Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.I tasted the potatoes and stirred the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a good steady job these matched, too. I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy prints of small sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am.66Two children came to the writers front door because .Ait was Thanksgiving Day.Bthey were beggarsCthey wanted old papersDthey wanted a cup of cocoa67Why did the writer let the children in ?AShe showed great pity on themBShe had old papers to sellCShe wanted to invite them to her Thanksgiving feastDShe wanted them to see how rich she was68The girl thought the writer was rich perhaps because .Ashe saw that the ladys room was fortableBshe saw the cups matched the saucersCthe writers slipcovers were very newDthe writer was preparing a big meal while she was too hungry.69From the passage, we can infer that whether you are rich depends on .Ahow much money you have had Bhow you feel about your lifeChow you have helped othersDwhat job your husband is doing70The writer left the muddy prints of small sandals on the floor for a while to .Ashow her husband that someone had eBremind her that she had helped two childrenCremind her that she was very rich in the neighborhoodDremind her how life should beDStress Level Tied to Education LevelPeople with less education suffer fewer stressful days, according to report in the current issue of the Journal of Health and Social Behavior.However, the study also found that when less educated people did suffer stress it was more severe and had a larger impact on their health.Front this, researchers have concluded that the day to day factors that cause are not random. Where you are in society determines the kinds of problems that you have each day, and how well you will cope with them.The research team interviewed a national sample of 1,031 adults daily for eight days about their stress level and health. People without a high school diploma (毕业文凭) reported stress on 30 percent of the study days, people with a high school degree reported stress 38 percent of the time, and people with college degrees reporned stress 44 percent to the time. “Less advantaged people are less healthy on daily basis and are more likely to have downward turns in their health,” lead researcher DR. Joseph Grzywacz, of Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center, said in a prepared statement. “The downward turns in health were connected with daily stressors and the effect of daily stressors on their health is much more devastating (毁灭性的) for the less advantaged,” Grzywacz suggested follow up research to determine why less educated people report fewer days of stress when it is known their stress in more acute and chronic.“If something happens every day, maybe its no seen as a stressor” Grzywacz says. “Maybe it is just life”71Stress level is closely related to .Afamily sizeBsocial statusCbody weightDwork experience72The 1,301, adults were interviewed .Aon a daily basis for 8 daysBduring one of eight daysCall by GrzywaczDin groups73Which group reported the biggest number of stressful days?APeople without any education.BPeople without high school degrees.CPeople with high school degrees.DPeople with college degrees.74The less advantaged people are, the greater .Athe impact off stress on their health isBthe effect off education on their health isCthe level of their education isDthe degree of their health concern is75Less educated people report fewer days of stress possibly because .Athey dont want to tell the truthBthey dont want to face the truthCstress is to mon a factor in their livesDtheir stress is more acute第卷（共45分）第四部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）America is a country on the move. In unheard of numbers, people of all ages are exercising their way to better health. According to the latest figures, 59 percent of American adults exercise regularly up 12 percent from just two years ago and more than double the figure of 25 years ago. Even non exercisers believe they would be more attractive and confident if they were more active.It is hard not to get the message. The virtues of physical fitness are shown on magazine covers, postage stamps, and television ads for everything from beauty soaps to travel books. Exercise as a part of daily life did not catch on until the late 1960s when research by military doctors began to show the health benefits of doing regular physical exercises. Growing publicity for races held in American cities helped fuel a strong interest in the ancient sport of running Although Americans have also discovered other forms of e
