She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself. “ What I mean is, ” explained the recorder, “ do you have a job, or are you just a ⋯” “ Of course I have a job, ” said Emily. “ I?m a mother. ” “ We don?t list ,mother? as an occupation ⋯ ,housewife? covers it, ” said the recorder. One day I found myself in the same situation. The clerk was obviously a career woman, confident and possessed of a high sounding title. “ What is you occupation? ” she asked. The words simply popped out. “ I?m a Research Associate (研究员 ) in the field of Child Development and Human Relations. ” The clerk paused, ballpoint pen frozen in midair. I repeated the title slowly, then I started with wonder as my pronouncement was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire. “ MightI ask, “ said the clerk with interest, “ just what you do in your field? ” Coolly, without any trace of panic in my voice, I heard myself reply, “ I have a continuing program of research (what mother doesn?t ), in the laboratory and in the field (normally I would have said indoors and out). Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities (any mother care to disagree?), and I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). But the job is more challenging than most careers and the rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money. There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk?s voice as she completed the form, stood up, and showed me out. As I drove into our driveway, inspired by my brilliant new career, I was greeted by my lad assistants— aged 13, 7 and 3. Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (a 6-month-old baby), in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern. I felt proud! I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable ( 不可 缺少的 ) to mankind than “just another mother ”. Motherhood ⋯ What a great career! Especially when there?s a title on the door. 56. From Emily?s experience at the Country Clerk?s office, we can infer that________. A. Emily was not sure about her occupation B. the clerk didn?t respect Emily as a career woman C. Emily received very little education D. being a housewife is a greater career 57. All of the following can describe the woman clerk?s attitude towards the writer?s occupation EXCEPT______. A. interested B. respectful C. doubtful D. puzzled 58. How many children does the writer have in all? A. 7 B. 3 C. 6 D. 4 59. What is the point of the article? A. To show us the different experiences of two mothers. B. To show that the ability to describe your job matters a lot. C. To argue that motherhood is a worthy career. D. To teach us how to cheat the clerk in a clever way. B Flying across the globe, whether on business or for leisure, is usually effortless —you just have to book your ticket, pack your bags and show up at the airport with your passport. You board the plane and several cocktails and movies later, you arrive at your destination. People are becoming more aware of their smart travel. Here are some tips on how to be a clever traveler. Easy check-in Avoid the queue and check yourself in by using the MSA Web Check-in (malaysiaairlines.com) in the comfort of your own home or office. Passengers can now check in online anytime from 24 hours to 90 minutes ahead of the scheduled departure time. This is available for flights departing from all MAS stations— except Paris, Kunming, Xiamen and Bandar Seri Begawan —to all MAS destinations. You can even select preferred seats online. Bag Hygiene(卫生 ) No, we?re not talking about the cleanliness of your bags! It?s aviation talk for a bag that doesn?t carry any old baggage tags with barcodes that could confuse the baggage sensor(探测装置 ). If you find yourself arriving in Sydney while your bag lands in Tokyo, it could be because of your old baggage tag. Another reason why bags go missing could be the printing quality of the barcodes; bags are misdirected because the sensors can?t read the codes correctly. Less is more More airports around the world now set a weight limit of 32kg per piece of baggage. This will not only help protect the airline workers? health . It will also be easier for you to carry your bags around. Avoid packing dangerous goods or placing valuables inside your check-in luggage. Ensure that locks are properly secured as a lot of baggage locks are found caught between the conveyor belts. Smaller and softer bags are usually placed inside a tray at check-in to protect the locks from contact with the conveyor belt. 60. Which of the following is TRUE about easy check-in? A. You can now check in at any time anywhere. B. You can check in at malaysiaairlines.com. C. If you depart from Kunming, you can use the MSA Web Check-in. D. You can use the MSA Web Check-in wherever you go. 57. According to the passage, to make sure your baggage won?t go missing, you?d better_______. A. tear off the old tags B. write your name on it C. keep your bag clean D. take your baggage along with you 58. By saying “ less is more ” , the writer means_______. A. you?d better put more things into less luggage B. if you take less luggage, you?ll be charged more C. if you take less luggage, your health will be improved D. less luggage will ensure you more freedom to go around 60. Where can you probably find this article? A. In an advertisement. B. In a magazine. C. In a science report. D. In a textbook. C If you're into sports, you've seen it happen. You've probably even experienced it: basketball players shaking hands after four quarters of knocking each other around, tennis players leaping over the net to shake hands with their opponents ( 对手 ) after a hard-fought match, soccer players exchanging sport shirts after an intense 90 minutes, even boxers touching gloves at the beginning of each round, then hugging each other after beating each other into a pulp for 12 rounds. It seems like competitors in every event, from spelling bees to hockey, behave this way. What's going on? It's all part of sportsmanship, a great tradition in sports and competition that means playing clean and handling both victory and defeat with grace, style, and dignity( 尊严 ). What is sportsmanship? Sportsmanship is defined(下定义 ) as: playing fair, following the rules of the game, respecting the judgment of referees and officials, treating opponents with respect. Some people define good sportsmanship as the “ golden rule ” of sports --- in other words, treating the people you play with and against as you'd like to be treated yourself. You demonstrate （展示） good sportsmanship when you show respect for yourself, your teammates, and your opponents, for the coaches on both sides, and for the referees, judges, and other officials. But sportsmanship isn't just kept for the people on the field. Cheerleaders and fans also need to be aware of how they behave during competition. Sportsmanship is a style and an attitude; and it can have a positive influence on everyone around you. Learning good sportsmanship means finding that the positive attitude learned on the field carries over into other areas of life. At school, for example, you're able to appreciate the contributions made by classmates and know how to work as part of a team to complete a project. You may enjoy more success at work as well, because a big part of learning good sportsmanship is learning to be respectful of others, including customers and co-workers. 64. The author introduces the topic of the passage by__________. A. showing an interesting discussion B. comparing several sport events C. explaining some game rules D. giving some specific examples 65. When players play clean, __________. A. they play in fresh air B. they play in a skilled way C. they play within the rules D. they play in clean clothes 66. The purpose of writing this passage is to ___________. A. advise readers to take some exercise B. provide some basic sport knowledge C. show the meaning of sportsmanship D. expect players to compete actively 67. Which of the following actions can NOT demonstrate sportsmanship? A. Treating opponents with respect on the field. B. Giving catcalls to your opponents during a competition. C. Respecting your customers in a department store. D. Appreciating your classmates? contributions. D We've all experienced a “good cry ”. Shedding (流) some tears can often make us feel better and help us put things in perspective. But why is crying beneficial? And is there such a thing as a “bad cry”? The researchers analyzed the detailed accounts of more than 3,000 recent crying experiences and found that the benefits of crying depend entirely on the what, where and when of a particular crying episode ( 一段 经历 ). The majority of persons reported improvements in their mood following a short period of crying. However, one third reported no improvement in mood and a tenth felt worse after crying. Criers who received social support during their crying episode were the most likely to report improvements in mood. Research to date has not always produced a clear picture of the benefits of crying, in part because the results often seem to depend on how crying is studied. The researchers note several challenges in accurately studying crying behavior in a laboratory setting. Volunteers who cry in a laboratory setting often do not describe their experiences as making them feel better. Rather, crying in a laboratory setting often results in the study participants feeling worse; this may be due to the stressful conditions of the study itself, such as being videotaped or watched by researchers. This may produce negative emotions, which neutralize ( 使无效 ) the positive benefits usually connected with crying. However, these laboratory studies have provided interesting findings about the physical effects of crying. Criers do show calming effects such as slower breathing, but they also experience a lot of unpleasant stress, including increased heart rate and sweating. What is interesting is that bodily calming usually lasts longer than the unpleasant. The calming effects may occur later and overcome the stress reaction, which would account for why people tend to remember mostly the pleasant side of crying. Research has shown that the effects of crying also depend on who is shedding the tears. For example, individuals with anxiety or mood disorders are least likely to experience the positive effects of crying. In addition, the researchers report that people who lack insight into their emotional lives actually feel worse after crying. 68. The beneficial effects of crying can be shown when _________. A. your breath becomes slow B. you sweat a lot. C. your face turns pale D. you are being watched 69. Who will be least likely to feel worse after crying? A. People who receive help in course of crying. B. People who fail to understand their emotions. C. People who are anxious and nervous. D. People whose mood is not in order. 70. The passage is mainly about ___________. A. the types of crying B. the way of crying C. the effect of crying D. the causes of crying 第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） s5 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。 What?s out there? How can you learn about all of America?s colleges? How do you find the best match—the best college for you? Big or small, pre-professional or liberal arts, conservative or liberal, private or public---- 71 . Research skills are essential for making a good college decision. 72 It?s easy to believe what others say, things like “ Someone told me that Colorado College is too small, ” and “ Someone told me that Michiga n is too big. ” Every college has something for someone.73 Not even the Ivy League schools! Just because you have heard the name of a college it does not mean it will be a good place for you. Just because you have not heard the name of a college it does not mean that you will not like it. 74 That means fitting in with the other students, finding the level of education you need and want, being productive, and feeling good on campus. Researching the colleges means finding several colleges where you really want to go. One quick way to research the colleges is to take a virtual tour of the college on your computer. 75 Check out the hundreds of colleges on these two websites. When you find one that sounds like a place you would like to be, check out their own website and learn more. On your first look, choose 20 colleges to find out more about them, and then choose ten from those for your final list of applications. 1. www.campustours.com 2. www.youniversitytv.com A.
