As the big day drew nearer and nearer, they both grew nervous because each of them had a problem. The bridegroom decided to ask his father for advice. “Dad,” he said, “I love Lily very much, but I have very smelly feet, so I’m afraid that she will not put up with them.” His father said, “All you have to do is wash your feet as often as possible, and you should always wear socks, even when you go to bed.” Well, it seemed a workable solution, the young man thought. The young woman turned to her mother. “Mom,” she said, “My morning breath is so bad that I’m afraid my new husband will not want to live in the same room with me. I love him. I can’t live without him.” Her mother said, “In the morning, get straight out of bed when you wake up, and head for the bathroom and brush your teeth. Don’t say any word before you brush your teeth.” The young woman followed her mother’s advice. They were finally married in a wonderful ceremony. Not forgetting the advice each had received, they carefully spent every day. The husband wore his socks every night and the wife kept her mornings silent; they did quite well until about a month later. Just before dawn, the husband woke only to find that one of his socks was gone! Thinking of the terrible result, he felt frightened at once. He jumped up and began to search the bed for his sock in a hurry. Of course, this made the wife woken. Without thinking, the wife asked, “What on earth are you doing?” The husband stopped in surprise, and then he cried, “Oh, no! You must have swallowed my sock!” 24. What troubled the young man before he got married? A. His feet had an unpleasant smell. B. He was unprepared for the big day. C. He was too poor to marry the girl. D. His habit was too bad to be known. 25. Why did the husband feel frightened? A. Because he forgot to wear the socks. B. Because one of his socks was missing. C. Because his wife might find the truth. D. Because it would disappoint his father. 26. The husband said the last sentence of the passage because . A. his wife was very hungry in the morning B. his wife often dreamed of eating things C. he wanted to have his wife buy new socks D. he found his wife’s breath very smelly 27. What would happen next most probably? A. The wife would leave the husband soon. B. The couple would tell each other the truth. C. The husband would buy a new pair of socks. D. The couple’s parents would help find the sock. C If you want to succeed in life, you need to express the proper body language, with or without having to say anything else. You will certainly notice a whole new reaction from people if you use the power of body language. Relax your shoulders, keep your hands at your sides (never inside your pockets) and breathe slowly. Have a warm, welcoming facial expression as if you look forward to communicating. Depending on the situation, you may smile when appropriate. Face the other person or your audience and keep eye contact as much as possible throughout the talk. Nodding and tilting(倾斜) your head closer can show that you are listening. Do not fold(交叉) your arms, look down at the floor or put your hands in your pockets. These can show that you are uninterested. If you have any comments, you can show them in negative but respectful ways like raising your eyebrows. A lot of your body language can show how confident, interested, bored, angry or nervous you are. Keeping your head up throughout the entire conversation can show that you are very much into the conversation at hand. You may feel free to use a few hand gestures to emphasize(强调) a point. If you are enumerating things, it’s better to use each of your fingers as you mention each item to help your audience keep track. Pacing will help you create more ground if you have a larger crowd to communicate with. It will also show confidence on your part as you think of more things to say. Be very careful when touching the other person since you are crossing the boundaries(界 限) of body language through actual contact. Remember that in body language, it is your body that does the talking for you. 28. According to the text, if you find a listener raising his eyebrows, he may _______. A. try to show his anger B. want to give his own opinion C. not understand what you say D. want to prove his confidence 29. What is the most suitable title for the text? A. The power of body language B. The attraction of body language C. The origin of body language D. The understanding of body language 30. _______________ can show that you are listening. A. Folding your arms B. Putting your hands in your pockets C. Looking down at the ground D. Nodding and tilting your head closer 31. If you want to show confidence in your communication, you should pay more attention to ___________________. A. pacing B. keeping up your head C. touching the other person D. keeping your hands at your side D As you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Your bedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week. Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them. Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year. One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs, leaving their two children with a nanny. Most evenings Daniel wouldn’t get home until eight or nine o’clock and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by. Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. “I always wanted to have a farm then,” says Daniel, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. It’s taken some getting used to, but it’s been worth it. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think it’s made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier. Liz, however, is not quite sure. “I used to enjoy my job, even though it was hard work and long hours. I’m not really a country girl, but I suppose I’m gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.” 32. The passage tells us that ________________. A. people seldom work long hours to make money B. people hardly buy more things than necessary C. people are sure everything they own is in the right place D. people realize there is more to life than just making money 33. When Daniel was a reporter he __________. A. lived in central London B. disliked his job C. missed his children D. was well paid 34. What does the author mean by saying “the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives” in the second paragraph? A. People work long hours to earn their living. B. To make more money through hard work is the aim of people’s life. C. Long hours of hard work occupy too much of people’s life. D. People spent too much time and money eating meals. 35. The underlined word “downshifting” in the second paragraph refers to _________. A. repairing your car by yourself B. spending money carefully C. moving out to the countryside to live a simpler and better life D. living in a big house in the suburbs and dining out once a week 第二节(共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分 10 分) 根据短文内容，从短文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。 Three Apples changed the world. The first one seduced(诱惑)Eve. The second one awakened Newton.__36__Here are some famous words from Steve Jobs to share. On character I'm the only person I know that's lost a quarter of a billion dollars in one year. __37__. On good design That's been one of my mottos--focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex; you have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it's worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains. On his outlook __38__ Going t o bed at night saying we've done something wonderful，that's what matters to me. On your working life Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work.__39__ If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. On the importance of death No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there.__40__ No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of life. It is life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. A．It's very character building. B．The third one was in the hands of Steve Jobs. C．This is not a one-man show. D．And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. E．And yet death is the destination we all share. F．It's really hard to design products by focus groups. G．Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn't ma tter to me. 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。 Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all!

Instead, they rented houses outside the school. There are advantages for all of them. Living in a dormitory can increase friendship and cooperation among classmates, but of course it is safer. Besides, a dormitory is more like a society, where enables students to learn to get along to each other, thus preparing for the social life. As for renting houses to live alone, it’s better for your study as you can feel freely in your own room without being interrupted by others. As a result, you can have a plenty of time to devote yourself to review your lessons wholeheartedly. But there may appear a few safety problem as you live outside the school.

You know that I was a volunteer in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. In my opinion, to be good volunteers, we should learn about body language as well as foreign languages. And now I’d like to share it with you. As we all know, every culture has its own body language. Take Greetings for example, the French are open-minded; they shake hands and kiss each other on each cheek when they meet people they know. Men from Middle Eastern and other Muslim countries often stand close to other men to talk, but they will never touch women. They just nod at women. In general, people all over the world now greet each other by shaking hands, but the Japanese prefer to bow. None of these actions is either good or bad, however, studying it will help reduce misunderstanding between peoples and avoid the difficulties in communication. So much for these. Looking forward to your letter. Yours, Xiao Gang 录音稿 (Text 1) W: Do you like my new T-shirt? M: It’s great. I bought one myself the other day. It’s got a pattern of black and white circles on it. W: I bought two — this one that I’m wearing and another one with some words across the front. (Text 2) M: We can deliver your order either in the morning or afternoon, but we can’t tell an exact time. W: Well, I’ll be at work all day and be home from work at 6:00. So, you’d better send it between 7:00 and 8:00. (Text 3) M: The cover design has come. W: Oh, what a shame … I thought there’d be more colors in it. M: I think it’s attractive. But send me back if you’re not happy. W: But I think my manager will like it. (Text 4) W: The normal price for the family holidays is $290 per week. M: Does that include all meals? W: Only breakfast and dinner, and you don’t have to pay for transport from the airport to the hotel. (Text 5) W: I think we should get a pet. What do you think? M: Dogs need a lot of looking after and I don’t like cats. W: I’ve always liked the idea of gold fish. They look nice. So, let’s keep fish. M: That’s OK. (Text 6) W: Royal Mount Hotel. How may I help you? M: Hello, I’d like to book a twin room, from the evening of the 19th to the 21st. And I’ll be leaving on the morning of the 22nd. W: OK, sir. M: What is the price then? W: For a twin room, I can give you a special price as it’s low season: $200 for each night. M: Great. Thank you. W: And how would you like to pay, sir? We accept cash, cheque or credit card. M: I’ll pay cash on arrival, if that’s OK. W: Of course, sir. (Text 7) W: Hello, and welcome to Smith’s Gym. M: Hi there. I’d like to become a member. W: Yes, of course. First, you just need to fill out a form. Here it is, sir. M: OK. Name … telephone number … address … Is that OK? W: OK, thanks. Now, we’ve got three membership types here — common, which costs £21.00 a month. Silver, which means you can use the gym at all times, and this is £36.50. Or for just £5 more you can get a gold membership, which gives you free access to the tennis courts and all classes. M: For now I think I’ll just take the silver. (Text 8) W: Which sports are you doing on each day this year, Tom? M: On Monday, it’s swimming again. W: The same as last year — so on Tuesday will you have basketball? M: I can’t do it that day because we’ve got football that day. W: Oh. So what about Wednesday? M: I want to practice football with my friends but the teacher said I had to do volleyball. Oh, there is a new teacher to teach us baseball on Thursday. W: Ah, yes. That’s much more interesting. M: And on Friday I had to choose between tennis and basketball. All my classmates wanted to do basketball so I decided to do that because Dad can teach me tennis at the weekend. W: That’s right. (Text 9) M: Hi, Gina. This is Nelson. W: Hi, Nelson. How are you doing? M: I’m doing fine, thanks. Ivan said you need help with your website. W: Yes, I was wondering if we could meet and talk about it. M: Sure. When’s a good time for you? W: How about Monday evening? M: That’s not a good time for me. I’m picking up a friend at the airport. I could meet you for lunch, though. W: I can’t. I’m having lunch with a friend. Maybe Tuesday, oh wait, no, Tuesday won’t work either. I have to go to the dentist in the morning, and I’m having dinner with John, in the evening. How does your Wednesday look? M: Wednesday is out for me. I’m at a meeting the whole day. Do you have any free time on Thursday? W: I have a long day at work, and then I’m going shopping with Lynn in the evening. M: And Friday I’m busy the whole day. So do you work on Saturday? We may be able to meet in the afternoon. W: Sounds good. See you then. (Text 10) M: Hi, you’re listening to Talk Back, the show where you tell us what you think about Radio Western. I’m sure you’ve all heard we have a new boss here at Radio Western and she pays much attention to your views. And we’ll be speaking to a surprise guest who has sent a letter to us later in the show. I must start by saying a big “thank you” to Tony Marsons — judging from your letters, he did a great job of covering the show last week while I was away. Thanks Tony. And thanks for all the e-mails asking about my holiday. I had a long, rather boring flight home late last night but I must say I had a wonderful time. The food was delicious and the locals we spoke to were really friendly. Shame about the weather, which was disappointing, but you can’t have everything I suppose. And the kids loved it, so everyone was happy. Anyway, on to the first of your letters … John from Leicester writes, “As the programs end with guests getting rushed and many questions going unanswered. Why don’t you offer some kind of after-show online program where the guest can continue answering listeners’ questions?” I think that’s a good idea. We’ll certainly pass this one up to management. I’m sure a service like this would go down really well on our website.
