A beautiful girl with a master degree became a winning candidate(候选人) through the petition. At its last stage she faced an oral test together with another girl who was her equal not only in good looks but also in education standard. The girl we talk about was confident in herself and successful in the oral test. It seemed that she would get the chance. The examiner told her on behalf of the pany that she could e to office of the pany next Monday as a new employee. At last he asked her, “Have you anything else to say?” Shocked by the unexpected question, the beautiful girl was quite at a loss, saying with hesitation, “I have to talk with my parents before I give an answer.” Surprised, the examiner said calmly, “In that case, lets wait till you are ready.” The next day the girl came to tell that her parents agreed to her beginning work next Monday. But the examiner said regretfully, “Sorry, the job position is filled by another suitable candidate. You had better have a try in another place.” The beautiful girl was surprised. She asked for an explanation and was told, “What is needed here is a person who knows her own mind.” That was how a good opportunity slipped away right under the nose of a beautiful girl.21. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. the other girl who failed at the last oral test was most likely to get the job.B. other girls chosen in next test held the pany.C. the pany lost its best employee.D. the examiner was surprised at his first choice.22. What did the examiner value most?A. Ones beautiful looks. B. Ones independence. C. Ones young age. D. Ones knowledge.23. Why did the beautiful girl want to ask her parents for advice?A. She knew what to do.B. She hadnt expected the examiner would ask such a question.C. She couldnt answer the question.D. Her parents would scold her if she agreed without their permission.24. The best title of this passage probably is _.AMake your Decision Quickly BSeize your Chance in TimeCHave your Own Judgment DHesitation Leads to FailureBSome of the worlds most significant problems never hit headlines. One example es from agriculture. Food riots and hunger make news. But the trend lying behind these matters is rarely talked about. This is the decline in the growth in yields(产量) of some of the worlds major crops. A new study by the University of Minnesota and McGill University in Montreal looks at where, and how far, this decline is occurring.The authors take a vast number of data points for the four most important crops: rice, wheat, corn and soybeans. They find that on between 24% and 39% of all harvested areas, the improvement in yields that took place before the 1980s slowed down in the 1990s and xxs.There are two worrying features of the slowdown. One is that it has been particularly sharp in the worlds most populous countries, India and China. Their ability to feed themselves has been an important source of relative stability both within the countries and on world food markets. That self-sufficiency cannot be taken for granted if yields continue to slow down or reverse.Second, yield growth has been lower in wheat and rice than in corn and soybeans. This is problematic because wheat and rice are more important as foods, accounting for around half of all calories consumed. Corn and soybeans are more important as feed grains. The authors note that “we have preferentially focused our crop improvement efforts on feeding animals and cars rather than on crops that feed people and are the basis of food security in much of the world.”The report qualifies the more optimistic findings of another new paper which suggests that the world will not have to dig up a lot more land for farming in order to feed 9 billion people in 2050, as the Food and Agriculture Organization has argued.Instead, it says, thanks to slowing population growth, land currently ploughed up for crops might be able to revert to forest or wilderness. This could happen. The trouble is that the forecast assumes continued improvements in yields, which may not actually happen.25. What does the author try to draw attention to?A. Food riots and hunger in the world. B. News headlines in the leading media.C. The decline of the grain yield growth. D. The food supply in populous countries.26. Why does the author mention India and China in particular?A. Their self-sufficiency is vital to the stability of world food markets.B. Their food yields have begun to decrease sharply in recent years.C. Their big populations are causing worldwide concerns.D. Their food self-sufficiency has been taken for granted.27. What does the new study by the two universities say about recent crop improvement efforts?A. They fail to produce the same remarkable results as before the 1980s.B. They contribute a lot to the improvement of human food production.C. They play a major role in guaranteeing the food security of the world.D. They focus more on the increase of animal feed than human food grains.28. What does the Food and Agriculture Organization say about world food production in the ing decades? A. The growing population will greatly increase the pressure on world food supplies. B. The optimistic prediction about food production should be viewed with caution. C. The slowdown of the growth in yields of major food crops will be reversed. D. The world will be able to feed its population without increasing farmland.CJust one bite of cake that is made with eggs is enough to make John feel very sick. Susan gets a terrible rash(皮疹)whenever she eats anything containing seafood, and David nearly died when he first ate a cookie that included peanuts. David had trouble breathing after he ate the cookie, but his mother knew what to do and she quickly gave him medicine that helped him feel better almost right away. The bodys reaction to certain foods can be quite severe, resulting in breathing problems, as in Davids case, or loss of consciousness for some. There are many things we eat may cause our bodies to react badly if we have a food allergy(食物过敏). The most mon food allergies seem to be related to milk, soy, eggs, wheat flour, peanuts, nuts, and seafood. In fact, these kinds of foods account for 90% of food allergiesAccording to some studies, the number of children who have a food allergy is growing. But some people now argue that test results might not actually be accurate, so food allergies are not really as mon as they may appearThere are three typical ways that doctors test for food allergies. Probably the most accurate way is for a doctor to give a child a food challenge, For this, the doctor watches the child eat small amounts of certain foods to see if the child has an allergic reaction or not. This method is very time consuming so it is used less often than the other two methods: skin tests and blood tests. In a skin test, a doctor puts very small amounts of the parts of the foods that the child may be allergic to under the childs skin, then watches to see if the childs skin reacts to the allergens(过敏原). In a blood test, doctors take some of the childs blood and add possible allergens to it and then look for chemicals in the blood that indicate a possible allergic reactionA problem with both the skin test and the blood test is that neither will show how severe an allergic reaction might be. If a test result is positive, the child may have a severe reaction by eating this food, but the child might just as likely only have a slight rash. The test will not show which of these might be the caseDr. Jennifer Chafen of Stanford University studied 10 years worth of allergy research to check how accurate the tests are. She found a surprising fact. Skin tests or blood tests given to patients who visited their doctors for treatment of rashes or stomachaches showed that these patients were allergic to certain foods. However, later tests showed that although these patients tested positive, fewer than 50 percent of them actually had blood allergies. So were the results false and can we rely on these test results?The problem might be food intolerance rather than a food allergy. While food allergies are mainly related to a persons immune system, food intolerance is related to a persons digestive system and the reaction is usually less severe. One of the most mon kinds of food intolerance is related to people who have trouble digesting the sugar in products like milk, cheese, and ice creamDoctors are not sure why the number of cases of food allergies is rising. One factor that may explain part of the problem is our cleaner environment. Most children are exposed to fewer germs these days and some researchers think that for some people, their bodys immune system makes work for itself by reacting as if certain foods are harmfulWhile allergy test results may show false positive results, the tests are still useful and can save lives. Some children lose their food allergies as they get older, so even though doctors do not have a cure for food allergies, sometimes the body finds its own cure29. What is the passage mainly about?A. Different kinds of allergy testsB. A new allergy test that works very wellC. When children should be tested for allergiesD. The environmental factor in the rise in allergies.30. According to the passage, which test gives the most accurate results?A. The blood test B. The food challengeC. The mon allergen testD. The skin test 31. What do skin tests and blood tests NOT show?A. Whether a certain food will produce a rash or notB. Whether test results are positive or notC. Whether a person is allergic to a certain foodD. Whether allergic reactions are severe or not32. Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage?A. About half of the people with food allergies are also milk intolerant.B. Allergies affect the digestive system more than the immune system.C. Food intolerance is usually not as serious as food allergies.D. Sugar is a very mon allergen for many people.DMore modest consumer appetites might not only save money but also reduce the amount of crime. At least thats the conclusion of a leading British criminal behavior expert. Dr. Keith Hayward, a lecturer at the University of Kent, says antisocial behavior results from a need to experience new sensations. And, stealing a car to ride around in it offers young people the same thrill as shoppers get from buying goods. That desire is encouraged among young people by advertisers who use “pleasure-seeking experience” to sell their products. Advertisements teach young people that they must have the next desirable consumer item to feel good, Hayward said. If that need is not met, then they feel that something is missing. Some young people then use “the exciting possibilities offered by criminal activities” to fill the expectation gap. Hayward has written a book called City Limits：Crime, Consumer Culture and the Urban Experience. He says a consumer society teaches young people that their needs must be met instantly. Apart from shopping, he claimed, crime was an easy way for that desire to be fulfilled. “The current generation of youngsters,” he said,“ is getting far more advertising messages than any other group of children in history.”This makes them dissatisfied with their lives and hungry for more thrills. The main motivation for street crime was not poor parenting, poverty of social exclusion, Hayward argued.Its “a desire for style, excitement and self-expression” created by the way a consumer society works. Hayward said young people were repeatedly told that the purpose of their lives was to consume.However, he said, they rarely question what role this “language of seduction(诱惑)”plays in shaping their everyday lives.The government failed to understand the problem, he added. It should be bringing in law to stop advertisers targeting young people.33. Stealing a car and buying heavily-advertised goods are similar in that_.A. They both need a big decision. B. They can offer a new experience to people.C. They both can satisfy peoples desire for a thrill.D. They are both adventurous.34.Dr. Hayward would most probably agree that_.A. such language as pleasure-seeking experiences shouldnt be used in an advertisementB. the government should have more control on advertising.C. Young people themselves should resist improper advertisements.D.A desire for new thrills makes the present consumer society work.35.What would be the best title for the passage、A. Misleading Advertising B. What Causes CrimeC.A New Trend in Consuming D. Taste for New Thrills CanLead to Crime第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。_36_ Gone, for the most part, are the ankle-hugging high-tops that are supposed to help protect players from injury. _37_Strangely, though, Steven Nash and Kobe Bryant, two of the most talented players with the Los Angeles Lakers, arent worried. Nash has worn low-tops all his life. Bryants switch to low-tops last year prompted at least four of his teammates to follow suit. _38_ Even though the NBA doesnt release any data on what its players wear on their feet, team officials and shoe panies say high-tops peaked about eight years ago and have been losing ground ever since. _39_ In an article in the British Journal of Sports Medicine in xx, University of Newcastle researcher Craig Richards found no evidence that hip-top sneakers limited injuries. His research actually found that high-top basketball sneakers could even cause players to run slower and jump lower. Its been almost a century since the release of the Converse All-star, the first shoes designed specially for basketball players. _40_ Now the contest has bee a war. panies like Adidas, Nike, Converse and Reebok are all fighting to create the next “Air Jordon” and win the next battle.A. One of the reasons why high-tops are not popular any more, according to players and injury experts, is that they were never really very good at protecting feet.B. They greatly affected the life of the players before Nike appeared on the market.C. The shoes practically owned the sneaker market until 1973 when Nike agreed to send shoes to NBA players.D. The change over the last few years to low-top sneakers seems to go against traditional wisdom.E. The reason why low-tops are popular with the basketball players is that it can effectively prevent injuries.F. They have helped to quicken the “death” of high-top sneakers, one of the most famous symbols in the history of modern basketball.G. The next time you watch NBA playoff ( 季后赛) action on TV, take a close look at the shoes that many players are wearing.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空 (共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Ive heard the saying, “The best gift parents can give to their children is to love each other.” From as far back as I can remember my Mom and Dad were a team, a great family _36_.They were more than just a partnership, as if they were one person. Sure, they 37 , but there was never any doubt in our minds that any 38 would be worked through and resolved. They began their married life 39 , but they worked hard and, 40 the years, built a very successful business. They each had their strengths and weaknesses, but the 41 they worked together, you never saw the weaknesses, just the strengths.The biggest lesson about love and marriage that my mom and dad taught us kids was how to talk about your partner. Have you ever heard husbands and wives, when speaking to others, make 42 remarks about their spouses? Its one of those things people just seem to do. Sure, theyre only kidding, or maybe they are not. But words 43 . And words teach, whether positively or negatively. Dad always speaks of Mom in positive terms. 44 does she of him.One day we were getting carpet fixed in our home. The crew boss said, This is an expensive job. Women will really spend your money, wont they? Dad 45 , Well, they were right there with you before you had any money, its a 46 to do anything for them you possibly can.This wasnt the answer the carpet installer expected to hear. He was looking for negative things about wives which, to him, was natural. He
