I called him several times, but each time his secretary told me that he was in a meeting and that he would call me later. So I waited and waited, but there was still no call. Three hours passing by, I became more and more impatient. I was certain that my agent didn’t care about my work, and he didn't care about me. I was overcome with that thought. I started to shout at the phone, “Let me wait, will you? Who do you think you are?” At that time I didn’t realize my wife was looking on. Without showing her surprise, she rushed in, seized the phone, tore off the wires, and shouted at the phone, “Yeah! Who do you think you are? Bad telephone! Bad telephone!” And she swept it into the wastebasket. I stood watching her, speechless. What on earth...? She stepped to the doorway and shouted at the rest of the house, “Now hear this! All objects in this room—if you do anything to upset my husband, out you go!” Then she turned to me, kissed me, and said calmly, “Honey, you just have to learn how to take control.” With that, she left the room. After watching a crazy woman rushing in and out, shouting at everything in sight, I noticed that something in my mood (情绪) had changed. I was laughing. How could I have trouble with that phone? Her antics helped me realize I had been driven crazy by small things. Twenty minutes later my agent did call. I was able to listen to him and talk to him calmly. 24.

Surprising looks. D. Unusual actions. C Terrafugia Inc. said Monday that its new flying car has completed its first flight, bringing the company closer to its goal of selling the flying car within the next year. The vehicle—named the Transition—has two seats, four wheels and wings that fold up so it can be driven like a car. The Transition, which flew at 1,400 feet for eight minutes last month, can reach around 70 miles per hour on the road and 115 in the air. It flies using a 23-gallon tank of gas and burns 5 gallons per hour in the air. On the ground, it gets 35 miles per gallon. Around 100 people have already put down a $10,000 deposit to get a Transition when they go on sale, and those numbers will likely rise after Terrafugia introduces the Transition to the public later this week at the New York Auto Show. But don’t expect it to show up in too many driveways. It’s expected to cost $279,000. And it won’t help if you’re stuck in traffic. The car needs a runway. Inventors have been trying to make flying cars since the 1930s, according to Robert Mann, an airline industry expert. But Mann thinks Terrafugia has come closer than anyone to making the flying car a reality. The government has already permitted the company to use special materials to make it easier for the vehicle to fly. The Transition is now going through crash tests to make sure it meets federal safety standards. Mann said Terrafugia was helped by the Federal Aviation Administration’s decision five years ago to create a separate set of standards for light sport aircraft, which are lower than those for pilots of larger planes. Terrafugia says an owner would need to pass a test and complete 20 hours of flying time to be able to fly the Transition, a requirement pilots would find relatively easy to meet. 28. What is the first paragraph mainly about? A. The advantages of flying cars. B. The basic data of the Transition. C. The potential market for flying cars. C. The designers of the Transition. 29. Why is the Transition unlikely to show up in too many driveways? A. It causes traffic jams. B. It is difficult to operate. C. It is very expensive. D. It burns too much fuel. 30. What is the government’s attitude to the development of the flying car? A. Cautious. B. Favorable. C. Negative. D. Disapproving. 31. What is the best title for the text? A. Flying Car Closer to Reality B. The Transition’s First Flight C. Pilots’ Dream Coming True D. Flying Car at Auto Show D In the Pacific Northwest, there is a kind of owl (猫头鹰) that serves as a unique piece to the Northwest habitat—the northern spotted owl. Northern spotted owls are known to be curious. When seeing you, these owls will come down close and check you out. The northern spotted owl has been a savior（救世主）of old-growth forests. Old-growth forests are forests that have been around for a long time without significant disturbances. One way the spotted owl has become a protector of old-growth forests is simply by being there. The northern spotted owl has become endangered, and so to protect them from dying out, the government has to protect their habitat. So now any destruction of old-growth forests is illegal. Another way the owls help their habitat is by eating small animals. This helps create a balance in the forest. So, if the northern spotted owl is in a habitat that is protected by laws, why are they still endangered? Unfortunately, a cousin of the northern spotted owl has moved into its neighborhood. The bigger, more aggressive（好斗的，侵略性的）“barred owl” has grown in population and due to loss of the forests they lived in on the East Coast of the United States, they have begun to move to the west coast. These owls are taking the food source and pushing northern spotted owls out of their own home. Although the barred owl is able to live in different habitats, the northern spotted owl can only live in old-growth forests. Many government officials have been at a loss to find an answer to the difficult question, “What do we do with the non-native barred owls?” Some methods include shooting them. It is a difficult problem to deal with. Can you think of any possible solutions? 32. What do we know about the northern spotted owl? A. It is particular about its food. B. It has difficulty adapting to a new habitat. C. It seems dangerous and aggressive. D. It is a common bird in the USA. 33. Old-growth forests seem to _______. A. become less safe for the owls B. benefit from northern spotted owls C. be in danger of dying out D. regrow at a fast speed 34. Northern spotted owls are in danger mainly because of _______. A. illegal hunting B. the destruction of the forests C. another kind of owl D. environmental pollution 35. The methods being used to help northern spotted owls are _______. A. creative B. far-sighted C. unbearable D. ineffective 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。其中有两项多余。 While you are travelling abroad, cultural mistakes are more serious than linguistic (语言的) mistakes, which can lead to serious misunderstanding and even ill-feeling between individuals. 36 Touching Someone 37 In Mediterranean countries, if you don’t touch someone’s arm when talking to them or if you don’t greet them with kisses or a warm hug, you’ll be considered cold. In Thailand, the head is considered sacred—never even pat a child on the head. Talking Over Dinner In some countries, like China, Japan and some African nations, the food’s the thing, so don’t start chatting about your day’s adventures while everyone else is digging into dinner. 38 It’s not because your group is unfriendly, but because meal times are for eating, not talking. Removing Your Shoes or Not Take off your shoes when arriving at the door of a London dinner party and the hostess will find you uncivilized, but fail to remove your shoes before entering a home in Asia, Hawaii, or the Pacific Islands and you’ll be considered disrespectful. So, if you see a row of shoes at the door, start undoing your laces. 39 _ Once you are on the ground of a different country, remain highly sensitive to native behavior.40 __ And don’t feel offended if something seems offensive—like queue jumping. After all, this is a global village, and we are all very different. A. Never be completely surprised by anything. B. Look out for the following cultural mistakes and try to avoid them. C. Personal space varies as you travel the globe. D. The linguistic mistake means that someone is not fully expressing his idea. E. If not, keep the shoes on. F.
