第7题

Generally speaking, people want to keep a wild animal as a pet for one of many reasons: th

ey want to impress other people by owning an unusual, uncommon animal as a pet. In no case is the happiness of the animal at the heart of the matter.

If you do want to own a wild animal, for instance a fox (usually a little larger than your average house cat), you have to take this test first: go to your nearest Humane Society Shelter and bring home a grown cat and a very active dog. Raise them and be with them; consider them your best friends. Do not leave them alone for more than 9 hours in any given day; do not hit them or shout at them; and do not abuse them in any way. If, after two years, both animal are alive and are still with you without your caging them or locking them in a part of your home most of the day, then maybe you have what it takes to own a wild animal.

If the test sounds stupid or unworkable, or if you just can’t bring yourself to stand such unlovable animals for two years, then you are not suited to owning a fox.

The problem here is in the definition of the word pet. A pet is something you keep in your house or around your yard as a companion---- a companion who is usually prevented from escaping one way or another. Some animals---- dogs and cats, will voluntarily stay with a human even if given the chance to get away. In this sense, dogs and cats are true pets. Please don’t make the life of some wild animals a living hell by trying to raise one as a pet.

Which reason is true for people keeping a wild animal as a pet in the passage？

A.They want to show off to other people

B.Wild animals are orderly.

C.They just want to keep a wild animal for business purpose

D.They love wild animals heartily.

To pass the test, you must make it certain that ____.A.you take the trying animals with you most of the time

B.you are kind to the trying animals

C.the trying animals are still in good condition in two years.

D.all of the above

It can be inferred that of all the animals mentioned in the passage a ____ is the most difficult one to keep as a pet.A.wild pig

B.fox

C.tiger

D.dog

According to the author, you can raise a wild animal if you ____.A.think the test ridiculous

B.can’t bear dogs and cats

C.may work more than 9 hours

D.may raise the trying animals well for 2 years.

What does the word “ hell” in the last sentence mean？A.The miserable place after death

B.A place of great suffering

C.Sufferers in a miserable place

D.Evil and dark forces.

Specialists in marketing have studied how to make people buy more food in a supermarket. T

hey do all kinds of things that you do not even notice. For example, the simple, ordinary food that everybody must buy, like bread, milk, flour, and vegetable oil, is spread all over the store. You have to walk by all the more interesting-and more expensive-things in order to find what you need. The more expensive food is in packages with bright colored pictures. This food is placed at eye level so you see it and want to buy it. The things that you have to buy anyway are usually located on a higher or lower shelf. However, candy and other things that children like are on lower shelves. One study showed that when a supermarket moved four products from floor to eye level, it sold 78 percent more.

Another study showed that for every minute a person is in a supermarket after the first half hour, she or he spends $50. If someone stays forty minutes, the supermarket has an additional $5.00. So the store has a comfortable temperature in summer and winter, and it plays soft music. It is a pleasant place for people to stay and spend more money.

Some stores have red or pink lights over the meat so the meat looks redder. They put light green paper around lettuce (生菜) and put apples in red plastic bags.

So be careful in the supermarket. You may go home with a bag of food you were not planning to buy. The supermarket, not you, decided you should buy it.

Marketing specialists study______.

A．plants suitable for human needs

B．how to build shelves

C．method of selling more products

D．how to own supermarkets

第9题

When you go to university to study for a degree, you have decided to study professionally, rather than as an amateur; so being a student is now your profession for at least the next four years.

This involves a change of attitude in many ways. Although the process has been going on since you went to middle school, the biggest change is going to take place. Now, instead of taking several subjects, you have chosen one major subject because you find it interesting and worth exploring further. The choice was yours. You also have the goal of getting a degree . The degree and the stages you have to pass through to achieve it give you motivation, even though it may become weak from time to time, and not all parts of the course will be exciting; a sure way to lose interest is to do too little work. It is a law of diminishing returns - the less work you do, the less interest you will have and the more bored you will become. So, regular work is needed to keep up your interest as well as to keep pace with new work.

Another change is in the relationship with teachers. This may well have changed during middle school and high school, but now the whole context is different. You are no longer forced to slay in school all day, and apart from your class time, you organize your own time and place for studying. You are there to study (an active process) rather than to be taught (passive). Your teachers may or may not urge you, but they do want you to share their interest in the subject and they want you to succeed.

Some activities, like discussing and reading, are basic to studying. Make sure that you are doing these efficiently.

Group discussions give you a chance to train yourself to speak and discuss more effectively.

Theywill fail in their purpose if you keep silent—and if you start off this way, the harder it will become to get out of the situation of being the non-speaking member of the group. In the future you are almost certainly going to have to be good at speaking, so get into the way of talking about your subject now. This is actually more fun than sitting being silently miserable because you are not saving anything. Nobody will think what you say is foolish. Everyone will be thankful not to face awkward silence.

55. When does a person start to study professionally？

A）The time when he starts a profession.

B）The time when he goes to university.

C）The time when he knows how to study.

D）The time when he goes to high school.

56. Which of the following is not unique to university？

A）Students have to choose one major subject.

B）The goal of study is to get a degree.

C）Students need to work hard.

D）Students organize their own time for studying.

57. University teachers（）.

A）don’t care about students’performance

B）hope students can share their interest in

C）force students to stay in school all day

D）know nothing about their students

58.Who does the underlined word”they”refer to？

How to Handle a Bad Performance Review

Getting a bad performance review can make you feel angry, unappreciated, defeated, and hopeless. But it's not the end of the world. Remember that the way you respond to this appraisal can make all the difference in the next one. Even if you believe that the review is inaccurate and that your boss is completely wrong, you will benefit by reacting in a mature, adult manner. Here are some suggestions:

根据以下材料回答第 41～45 题：

Passage Three If you want to stay young , sit down and have a good think. This is the research result of Professor Faulkner , who says that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise and as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon.

Professor Faulkner wanted to find out why healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and to reason at a relatively age , and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.

He set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and occupations.

Computer technology enabled him to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain , which relate to intelligence and emotion, and determine the human character.

Contraction of front and side parts—as cells die off –was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty-and seventy –year-olds.

Faulkner concluded from his tests that there is a simple way to slow the contraction-using the head.

The findings show that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Faulkner, are lawyers , followed by university professors and doctors. White-collar workers doing routine work are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.

Faulkner’s findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. “The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain , ” he says,” Think hard and engage in conversation. Don’t rely on pocket calculators.”

第 41 题 Professor Faulkner wanted to find out_________ .

A．how people’s brains shrink

B．the way of making people live longer

C．the size of certain people’s brains

D．why certain people aged sooner than others
