They feel heavy pressures from their parents to do well in school. Most students are always being told by their parents to study harder so that they can have a wonderful life. Though this may be good ideas for those very bright students, it can have very bad results for many students who are not quick enough at learning.Unfortunately, a number of students killed themselves. Others are after fort in using drugs. Some do bad things with trouble-makers and turn to crime. Many of them have tried very hard at school but have failed in the exams and have disappointed their parents. Such students feel that they are less important and leave school before they have finished their study.It is surprising that though most Japanese parents are worried about their children, they do not help them in any way. Many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and that it is the teachers work to help their children. To make matters worse, a lot of parents send their children to special school called juku-cram schools. These schools are open during the evening and on weekends, and their only purpose is to prepare students to pass exam; they do not try to educate students in any real sense of the real world. It thus es as a shock to realize that almost three quarter of the junior or high school population attend these cram schools.Ordinary Japanese schools usually have rules about everything from the students hair to their clothes and things in their school bags. Child psychologists now think that such strict rules often lead to a feeling of being unsafe and being unable to fit into society. They regard rules as being harmful to the development of each student. They believe that no sense of moral values is developed and that students are given neither guidance nor training in being good citizens. 41According to the passage, a lot of Japanese students are unhappy at school because _.Athey work very hard Bthey find they cant do well at schoolCthey feel unimportant Dthey are under too much pressure42Because of their failure at school, some students _.Ago to cram school for better educationBleave school without finishing their studyCare against the school rulesDhave quarrels with their parents43Whats the best title of the passage?AThe Pressure of Being a Student in Japan BThe Problems of Japanese StudentsCEducation in Japan DThe Trouble in Japanese Schools 44In the third paragraph, juku-cram schools probably means the school in which _.Ayou can be taken good care of by the teachers Bteachers are responsible for their studentsCyou learn as much as possible in a short time before taking examsDstudents have their classes in the eveningBWill you get a good job? What will you do? Many new graduates feel lost when they consider the endless list of career choices. Theyve invested (投资) a lot of money for their diploma (文凭) and now an important question stares them in the fact.Ive seen so many new graduates who do not know how to use the degree they have just earned. An example was Dave, who loved sports and had played baseball throughout his college years. He had his heart set on working for Nike. But he had never made clear in his own mind what kind of job he could do for Nike, so nothing ever happened. Another example was Allison, who was a history major. She wanted to work as an event planner but, unfortunately, no one hired her. Why? No experience.Failing to do some solid（认真的）career exploration first or to get a clear idea of the types of jobs you can do is a big error that many college students make. After our suggestion, Dave and Allison both found their jobs. To ensure a brighter future, follow these effective strategies（策略）： Make educated career choices. Identify the job you want. Conduct research. Ask parents to advise you on actual job duties. Consider what your matured talents are, and look for positions where you can use them. Dont rely on the Internet. Networking is an effective tool be sure its a job-hunting strategy you use. New studies from the Department of Labor state that only 4% of job-seekers found their job on the Internet. The fact is that 63% of all jobs are filled by contacts. Employers are making quick decisions. Most people lose the job in the first minute of the interview. Its deadly to let the employers focus quickly on how well you can perform the job. Practice your interviewing skills. Be ready for the tough questions by first writing out good answers to possible questions and having a role-playing interview with your friend.45What does the author seem to be most probably? AA job-hunter BA magazine editor. CA website owner DA job-seeking advisor.46In order to be well prepared for the interview, youd better_.Asurf the Internet for contacts Bget along well with your workmatesCpractice the interview for several timesDtake care of your dress 47According to the text it is suggested that Dave should_.Alet others know what he can do for them Bstudy further to get a higher degreeCgive up his interest in playing basketball Dtake part-time jobs first48For Allison, she should_.Afind a job in another field Bfind some work to gain work experienceCnot tell the employer her major Doffer more personal informationCThe dog, called Prince, was an intelligent animal and a slave to Williams. From morning till night, he had a number of clear duties, for which Williams had patiently trained him and, like a good pupil, Prince lived for the chance to prove his abilities. When Williams wanted to put on his boots, he would murmur（咕哝） “Boots” and within seconds the dog would drop them at his feet. At nine every morning Prince ran off to the general store in the village, returning shortly not only with Williams daily paper but with a packet of Williams favorite tobacco. A trained gun-dog, Prince had a large soft mouth specially evolved (演变；进化) for the sake （缘故）of carrying hunted creatures, so the paper and tobacco came to no harm, never even showing a tooth mark.Williams was an engine driver, and he had to work at irregular times “days”, “late days”, or “nights”. Over the years Prince got to know these periods of work and rest, and knew when his master would leave the house and return and the dog did not waste this knowledge. If Williams overslept, Prince barked at the bedroom door until he woke. On his return, Williams slippers were brought to him, the paper and tobacco too.A curious thing happened to Williams during the snow and ice of last winter. One evening he slipped and fell on the icy pavement somewhere between the village and his home. He was so badly shaken that he stayed in bed for three days; and not until he got up and dressed again did he discover that he had lost his wallet containing over fifty pounds. The house was turned upside down in the search, but the wallet was not found. However, two days later, Prince dropped the wallet into Williams hand. Very muddy, and wet through, the wallet still contained fifty-three pounds.49It can be learned from the passage that gun-dogs are dogs that . Acan take care of their owners Bare the fastest runners of all dogs Chave their teeth removed when they are young Dcan carry birds , foxes , etc .without hurting them 50Williams did not realize his wallet was lost for several days because .Ahe had no chance to feel in his pockets Bhe had thought it was in his house Che was sure his dog could find it Dhe was ill all the time 51The best title for this passage is .AAn intelligent dog BWilliams had a trained dog CWilliams family and a clever dog DPrince , a clever , well-trained dog 52The underlined part “the dog did not waste this knowledge” probably means . Athe dog did know Williams Bthe dog didnt know what to do Cthe dog knew what to do all the time Dthe dog did have a lot of knowledgeDYou can be proud of yourselves, even if you can only make one or two of these green changes. The goal here is to limit carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, which are closely associated to the big problem of global-warming.Strategy 1: Bring your own cup to StarbucksYoull get a 10 cent discount, and its one less paper cup to end up in a landfill（垃圾堆）. While youre there, pick up some free bags of spent coffee grounds to use as green fertilizer in your garden. The payoff（得出结果的）: The store wont create more waste when they throw away a cup.Strategy2: Turn off your puterWhen in standby mode, your PC is still using energy. In fact, 75percent of electricity used in your home es from electronics that are turned off.The payoff: Turning off a monitor for 40 hours a week may only save $5 a month, but it reduces CO2 by 750 poundsStrategy 3: Reuse plastic bagsInstead of throwing away 100 billion plastic bags a year, try and get a second, third, or tenth use out of them. Better yet, next time you shop, try a reusable bag.The payoff: Youre reducing pollution. The amount of oil it would take to make just 14 plastic bags would run your car for one mile.Strategy4: Use recycled paper in the bathroomMost of the toilet paper we use is made from trees found in forests previously untouched by humans.The payoff: If every household replaced one roll of toilet paper with a recycled one, 424000 trees would still be standing. Look for eco paper towels too.Strategy5: Buy energy-efficient appliances(电器) Replace the old fridge with an Energy Star appliance and youll use 15 percent less energy. It might be a little expensive to buy, but youll save money on your electricity bills and help the environment.The payoff: If we all used one Energy Star appliance at home, it would be like planting 1.7 million acres of new trees.Strategy 6: Plant a treeAdding green to your garden is beautiful and earth-pleasing.The payoff: Just one tree will help make cleaner air and save the environment from 5000 pounds of hot carbon dioxide each year.53What is the best title for the passage?

One way is borrowing money, and another way is buying things with the agreement that payment would be made later. There are also other processes for providing money for use by a pany. Two of these processes are described here.One process the pany may use is to issue bonds(债券). Bonds are a special kind of promissory note. They are issued in different values, in the forms of money used in different countries, such as the pound in England or the euro in Europe. These bonds can easily be sold again to other people or to other panies. The pany that issues the bonds promises to pay a particular amount of money as interest regularly for a certain period of time. This continues until when the pany has to pay back the principal (本金) of the bond. Payments of principal and interest must be made on time whether the pany has been earning money or not. If these payments are not made on time, it means that the pany has not done what it agreed to do and can be sued（控告，起诉）.Another process panies may use is to issue other forms of promissory notes called stocks (股票). Bonds and stocks are opposite methods of providing money for a pany. The people who buy stocks provide money that is earned and take part in deciding how the pany will conduct its business. They must also take part in the losses. The people who own stocks receive dividends only after the pany has paid all of its debts to the people who own bonds. On the other hand, the persons who own bonds have no right, according to the law, to help decide how the pany will handle its business, unless it is bankrupt or in danger of being so. 57Which of the following statement is not the way for panies to increase their capital?ABorrowing money. BBuying materials without paying.CIssuing bonds DIssuing stocks58As to bonds, we know from the passage that _.Athey are cheques like bank notesBthe pany only pays back the principalCthey are issued in the forms of money Dif a pany is bankrupt, it neednt pay back the interest59According to this passage, who have the legal control over the decisions of the business?AStockholders BBondholdersCThe government DThe workers in the pany60It can be inferred from this passage that _.Ato issue bonds is a better way than to issue stocksBstockholders can sue the pany when it is bankrupt Cbondholders have the same rights as stockholdersDinvesting in stocks has more risk than in bonds第二节：根据对话内容，从对话后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分）-Hi, Judy, 61 -Why, Ed?-You see, Dick a
