Primarily, the banker-customer 42 is that of debtor and creditor (债权人). Who is which depends on whether the customers account is in credit or is overdrawn. But, in addition to that basically simple 43 the bank and its customers 44 a large number of duties to one another.Many of these duties can give rise to problems but a bank customer, unlike, say, a buyer of goods, cannot 45 that the law is loaded against him.The bank must obey its customers instructions, and not those of anyone elses. When, for example, a customer first opens an account, he instructs the bank to debit (借记) his account only in respect of cheques 46 by himself. He gives the bank sample of his signature, and there is a very 47 rule that the bank has no right to pay out a customers money on a cheque on which its customers signature has been forged (伪造) . It makes no difference that the forgery may have been a very skilful one; the bank must 48 its customers signature. For this reason there is no risk to the customer in the 49 , adopted by banks, of printing the customers name on his cheques. If this results in forgery, it is the bank which will lose, not the customer.41-45BHAED 46-50CFIG崇明A. distasteful B. telephoning C. individual D. fight E. surroundingF. chemicals G evolution H. botanist I. escape J. survivalWhen you watch TV programmes about wild animals. It is amazing to see how an African animal can 41 a fions attack. In the wilderness, every one has a stunt (绝技). Even plants have their own ways of fighting off enemies.Over millions of years of 42 . plants have developed a unique defence system. Chemicals are wildly used for 43 . By making their leaves, flowers, stems, roots and fruits 44 or poisonous to animals, plants can fight back.One such plant is the Golden Wattle tree. British 45 David Cameron has found when an animal eats the trees leaves, the amount of poisonous tannin(单宁) increases in the other leaves. Its like the damaged leaves 46 the others telling them to fight together against the enemy, he said.The tree also sends defence messages to neighboring plants by giving out a special smell. Golden Wattle tree in the 47 45 meters will get the message and produce more tannin within 10 minutes. Now, if an animal eats too many of the trees leaves, it will die.Every species of plant or tree specializes in the production of a particular set of 48 . A plant-eating animal that can safely eat the leaves of one tree may be poisoned by its neighbor.In this way, plants have developed not only 49 defence systems, but also shared them with others. This makes it impossible for a single animal to destroy even a small area of forest.41. I 42. G 43. J 44. A 45. H 46. B 47. E 48. F 49.

As a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used to _45_ convey emotion in a cross-cultural situation.The reseachers studied cultural differences in the _46_ of facial expressions by recording the eye movements of 13 Western people and 13 East Asian people while they observed pictures of _47_ faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, angry, or neutral(中立的). They compared how accurately participants read those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies.It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made _48_ more errors than did Weaterners. “The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural difference in facial expressions.” Jack said. “Our data suggest that whereas Westerners use the whole face to convey emotion, Easterners use the eyes more and mouth less.”In short, the data show that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotion. From here on, _49_ how cultural factors have differed in these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotion. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.GAFDH ICEB虹口A. increasing B. threatened C. direction D. financial E. alternativeF. poisoning G. published H. regularly I. originally J. knowledge Scientists and environmentalists have reached a growing agreement that time is running out for Planet Earth. The polar ice caps are melting. One in eight bird species are extinct. Air, water, and ground pollutants are 41 major population centersBut according to a recently 42 book, there is “a secret plan to save the Earth.” This plan is being carried out by a group of “eco barons.”Who are “eco barons” then? They are a band of visionaries (有远见的人) some of the worlds wealthiest businessmen who are using their wealth, their energy, their fame, and their 43 of law and science to persuade the world to take a new 44 to save the Earth. These people, both men and women, are the modern-day heroic counterparts (同等分量的人) to the evil 19th century robber masters who 45 set the world on the path to environmental destruction.Bill Gates and Warren Buffet are among the eco businessmen. These two wise investors, who regularly exchange places at the top of Forbes magazines annual list of world billionaires, have spent some of their 46 power on different areas. Gates has long sponsored 47 fuels such as oil from algae (藻类), while in Buffets case, its wind power and electric cars.Douglas Tompkins, the founder of the North Face and Esprit clothing lines, has also embraced environmentalism. He was always an outdoor adventurer he would 48 disappear for months-long trips to the forests of South America so when he burned out in the business world, Tompkins took his fortune, worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and began steadily buying acre after acre of 49 virgin forest in Chile. Tompkins and his wife have obtained more than two million acres for conservation in Chile.41. F42. G43. J44. C45. I46. D47.E48. H49.

Then as technology moved on, electric products 41 the way people learn a language. Audio cassettes enabled people to practice listening, video provided a vivid cultural environment of the language, computers made interactivity possible, and the 42 of the Windows 95 operating system opened the door to full multimedia programs that could offer more than what the traditional materials could do. Today technology has moved on 43 . The Internet has served as a communication centre. The general use of email has 44 new opportunities for teachers to assist learning at a distance, which has an impact on 45 learning structures. As you can make more and more progress on your own, the role of the teacher is changing. Basic information and drill can be provided by computer; the teacher is then free to concentrate on the more important 46 : motivation and production of language in speech or writing.The latest development is a direct email link from self-study CD-ROMs to an online teacher. Now you can get 47 one-to-one tuition from any multimedia PC with an internet connection. When you need more help you 48 email the tutor. The tutor will know which course you are following and your results to date so he is able to provide good, relevant advice. All you do is buy the CD-ROM at normal price and then get additional 49 as you feel the need. So the self-study becomes distance learning with all its advantages of flexibility and low cost.41-45 JFBHI46-49 CAGD杨浦青浦宝山A. breed B. common C. limit D. spends E. processF. purchased G. tends H. bay I. unnecessary J. neglectedWatching a child struggle to breathe during an asthma(哮喘) attack is frightening for any parent. So it is only natural that most moms and dads will try just about anythingincluding spending a lot of moneyto keep an attack at _41_. Trouble is, more than half of parents are trying strategies that simply dont work and wasting hundreds of dollars in the_42_. According to Dr. Michael Cabana, a pediatrician at the University of Michigans C.S. Mott Childrens Hospital, who led the study, one of the most_43_ mistakes was to buy a mattress cover to protect against dust mites(尘螨)for a child whose asthma instead was made even worse by plant pollen. Many of those parents then _44_ to do what would have helped a lot more: shut the windows to keep pollen out. Another was using a humidifier for a child who was allergic（过敏）to dust mites; a humidifier_45_ to be a place where dust mites like to _46_. With those allergies, a dehumidifier works better. Worst of all was the number of smokers with asthmatic children who didnt even try to quit or at least_47_ themselves to smoking outdoors rather than just moving to another room or the garage. Many smoking parents_48_ expensive air filters that have what Cabana called “questionable utility.”Part of the problem, Dr. Cabana and his colleagues believe, is that parents are bombarded by television ads that encourage them to buy products such as air and carpet fresheners, ionizers and other remedies that are often expensive but medically _49_. And doctors may not always take the time, or have the time, to explain to parents what will and wont work in their childs particular case. 4149 HEBJ G ACFI卢湾A. avoid B. access C. social D. civilized E. servicesF. concentrate G. reflect H. safely I. reach J. bitterly Shanghais Civil Affairs Bureau is to set up temporary refuges for winter and next spring, so the homeless can survive the cold 41 . These shelters will provide food, shower 42 and accommodation. They will be open to receive new arrivals around the clock. To help the homeless through winter safe and sound is the bottom line for a 43 city. The life of a homeless person is not something that can be done away within several days. Almost every year, vagrants somewhere freeze to death, so to make special arrangements for them during winter as Shanghai does is a good way to 44 tragedy.Apart from government resources, 45 resources have been assembled to join in the aid in the city. In bus and railway station, subway lanes, ports and bridge caves where the homeless tend to 46 , inspecting will be more frequent and widespread. For those who refuse to be helped, cold-proof necessities and information on aid 47 will be offered. Communities will offer aid consultation while police stations and urban management teams are also prepared to help Community volunteers, especially the elderly, will go out to the streets on inspection and help.In Shanghai, the most populous city in China, can 48 this level, so can other cities, especially cities in north China, where the winter is much colder than in Shanghai. The government should pay greater attention to the poor and sick. Skyscrapers show a citys economic level but care for the weak can 49 a citys civilization level.41. H 42. E 43. D 44. A 45. C 46.

Dont _41_.Then just want to see how you handle a difficult situation.“Why should we choose you?” To this question ,you can ask yourself why you applied, what makes you suitable for this position, what the company can gain from hiring you, what you have to_42_,how you would handle this job, etc.Often they ask you to tell them about yourself. You can _43_ your answer into two, the professional and the personal level. Both are important, and how you move form one to the other depends on what you have to say. You can give a brief _44_ of your life, professional and personal, with less emphasis on the early past, and more emphasis on the present and the future.When asked “What are your weaknesses?” , dont say “I dont have any.” Everyone has weaknesses, and it takes strength to recognize them. Say something _45_ but not hugely important to the specific position, and always add something positive like , “I havent had a lot of _46_ to the on-site work ,but Im looking forward to being more _47_ in dealing with customers directly and learning their needs.”Another common question is: “What are your strengths?” You should customize(定制) your answer to meet the position _48_.Keep in mind the things they asked for in the advertisement Tell them your strengths, but also show them how they would be applied to this job . To show how your strengths were valuable, use the “why, where, when, how” to _49 our strengths.Always follow-up with a thank you note restating your interest in the position . If you interview with multiple people, send each one a thank you note.41. C 42. I 43. G 44. B 45. H 46. F 47. A 48. E 49.

The increasingly popular design museums that are opening today, however, perform quite a different 41 . Unlike most art museums, the design museum shows objects that are easily found by the general public. These museums sometimes even place things like fridges and washing machines in the 42 of the hall.People have argued that design museums are often made use of as advertisements for new industrial technology. But their role is not simply a matter of sales-It is the 43 of excellently invented products. The difference between the window of a department store and the showcase in a design museum is that the first tries to sell you something, while the second tells you the success of a sale.One advantage of design museums is that they are places where people feel 44 , with the exhibits. Unlike the average art museum visitors, design museum visitors seldom feel 45 or puzzled. This is partly because design museums clearly show how and why mass-produced products work, and how design has 46 the quality of our lives. Art museum exhibits, on the other hand, would most probably fill visitors with a feeling that there is something beyond their 47 .In recent years, several new design museums have opened their doors. Each of these museums has tried to 48 the publics growing interest in the field with new ideas. Londons Design Museum, for example, shows a collection of mass-produced objects from Zippo lighters to electric typewriters to a group of Italian fish-tins. The choices open to design museums seem far less 49 than those to art museums.41. F 42. C 43. G 44. D 45. H 46. I 47. E 48. B 49. J普陀A. fast B.stuntmen C. training D. catching E. fall F. seriously G. really H. profession I. fight J. living You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another hard. At the start they only _41_ with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead！Of course he isnt_42_ dead. With any luck he isnt even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from _43_moving trains, who crash cars of even _44_ fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called _45_. That is to say, they perform tricks.There are two sides to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not _46_ on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress (床垫). Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar!But although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and _47_. Often a stuntman s success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is blown up in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment. Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get _48_ injured, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff a thousand feet high. His parachute (降落伞) failed to open, and he was killed. In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a _49_ for men only. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action. For nowadays there are stuntgirls, too. 41.

We say to ourselves, I know, I was there; I saw it happen. And that seems to settle the matter. Or does it? Can we really trust the41 of our eyes?Take competitive sports. Fans who see the same game will not agree with each other and will disagree with the referee (裁判). He was out of bounds when he caught the pass, says one fan. Another says, Youre42 . I saw it with my own eyes. He was five feet in bounds. You must be blind. The referee rules that the receiver did step out of bounds. But thousands of fans are still not 43because they were there!Its the same story in the courtroom. Trial procedure 44depends on witnesses giving testimony (证词). But just how reliable is the testimony of a person who reports what he has seen? In a recent study, ten thousand 45were asked to describe the man they saw commit a crime. The study reveals that, on the average, the witnesses 46 the mans height by five inches, his age by eight years, and gave the
