A

Shanghai: Car rentals (出租)are becoming more and more popular as an inexpensive way of taking to roads. Business people, foreign and families alike are making good use of the growing industry.

The first car rental firm opened in Shanghai in 1992 an dnow 12 car rental players are in the game, with more than 11,500 cars in their books.

The largest player-Shangha Bashi Tourism Car Rental Center offers a wide variety of choices-deluxe sedans, minivans, station wagons, coaches. Santana sedans are the big favorite.

Firms can attract enough customers for 70 percent of their cars every month. This fighure shoots up during holiday seasons like National Day, Labor Day and New Year’s Day, with some recording 100 percent rental.

The major market force rests in the growing population of white-collar employees (白领雇员), who can afford the new service, said Zhuang Yu, marketing manager of Shanghai Angel Car Rental Co.

A. cars in the making B. car rental firms C. cars for rent D. car makers

A. 70% of the cars can be rented out on holiday.

B. 70% of the customers are white-collar employees.

D. Some firms rent out all their cars during holiday seasons.

58. Shanghai’s car rental industry is growing so fast mainly due to_________.

D. people’s growing interest in traveling during holidays

Holidaymakers who are bored with baking beaches and overheated hotel rooms head for a big igloo. Swedish businessman Nile Bergqvist is delighted with his new hotle, the world’s first igloo hotel. Built in a small town in Lapland, it has been attracting lots of visitors, but soon the fun will be over.

In two weeks’ time Bergqvist’s ice creation (作品)will be nothing more than a pool of water. “We don’t see ti as a big problem, ” he says. “We just look forward to replacing it.”

Bergqvist built his first igloo in 1991 for an art exhibition. It was so successful that he disgned the present one, which measures roughly 200 square meters. Six workmen spent more than eight weeks piling 1,000 tons of snow onto a wooden base; when the snow froze, the base was removed. “The only wooden thing we have left in the igloo is the front door,” he says.

After their stay, all visitors receive a survival certificate recording their success. With no windows, nowhere to hang clothes and temperatures below 0°C, it may seem more like a survival test than a relaxing (轻松的)hotel break. “It’s great fun, ” Bergqvist explains, “as well as a good start in survival training.”

The popularity of the igloo is beyond doubt: it is now attracting tourists from all over the world. At least 800 people have stayed at the igloo this season even though there are only 10 rooms. “You can get a lot of people in, ” explains Bergqvist. “The beds are three meters wide by two meters long, and can fit at least four at one time.”

59. Bergqvist designed and built the world’s first igloo hotel because_________.

A. he believed people would enjoy trying something new

B. he wanted to make a name for the small town

C. an art exhibition was about to open D. more hotel rooms were needed

60. When the writer says “ the fun will be over, ” he refers to the fact that_________.

A. hotel guests will be frightened at thought of the hard test

B. Bergqvist’s hotel will soon become a pool of water

C. holidaymakers will soon get tired of the big igloo

D. a bigger igloo will replace the present one

61. According to the text, the first thing to do in building an igloo is_________.

A. to gather a pool of water B. to prepare a wooden base

C. to cover the ground with ice D. to pile a large amount of snow

62. When guests leave the igloo hotel they will receive a paper stating that_________.

A. they have visited Lapland B. They have had an ice-snow holiday

C. they have had great fun sleeping on ice D. they have had a taste of adventure

63. Which of the four pictures below is the closest to the igloo hotle as described in the text?

C

Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted. Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environment friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem. One result is that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic, and metal containers are produced, and these are difficult to get rid of.

However, today, more and more consumers are choosing “green” and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment. Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these: “Will this shampoo damage the environment?” “Can this metal container be resued or can it only be used once?”

A recent study showed that two out of five adults now consider the environmental safety of a product before they buy it. This means that companies must now change the way they make and sell their products to make sure that they are “green”, that is, friendly to the environment.

Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds. Some supermarket products carry labels (标签) to show that the product is green. Some companies have made the manufacturing (生产) of clean and safe products their main selling point and emphasize it in their advertising.

The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business. No longer will the public accept the old attitude of “Buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it.” The public pressure is on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act.

64. It becomes clear from the text that the driving force (动力) behind green products is________.

A. public caring for environment B. companies’ desire for bigger sales

C. new ways of doing business D. rapid growth of supermarkets

65. What would be the best title for the text?

A. Business and People B. Business Goes Green

C. Shopping Habits Are Changing D. Supermarkets and Green Products

66. The underlined word “it” in the fourth paragraph refers to________.

A. a selling point B. the company name

C. a great demand for health D. the manufacturing of green products

D

If you ask people to name the one person who had the greatest effect on the English language, you will get answers like “Shakespeare,” “Samuel Johnson, ” and “Webster, ” but none of these men had any effect at all compared to a man who didn’t even speak English---William the Conqueror.

Before 1066, in the land we now call Great Britain lived peoples belonging to two major language groups. In the west-central region lived the Welsh, who spoke a Celtic language, and in the north lived the Scots, whose language, though not the same as Welsh, was also Celtic. In the rest of the country lived the Saxons, actually a mixture of Anglos, Saxons, and other Germanic and Nordic peoples, who spoke what we now call Anglo-Saxon (or Old English), a Germanic language. If this state of affairs had based, English today would be close to German.

But this state of affairs did not last. In 1066 the Normans led by William defeated the Saxons and began their rule over England. For about a century, French became the official language of English while Old English became the language of peasants. As a result, English words of politics and the law come from French rather than German. In some cases, modern English even shows a distinction (区别) between upper-class French and lover-class Anglo-Saxon in its words. We even have different words for some foods, meat in particular, depending on whether it is still out in the fields or at home ready to be cooked, which shows the fact that the Saxon peasants were doing the farming, while the upper-class Normans were doing most of the eating.

When Americans visit Europe for the first time, they usually find Germany more “foreign” than France because the German they wee on signs and advertisements seems much mor eddifferent from English English than French does. Few realize that the English language is acturally Germanic in its beginning and that the French influences are all the result of one man’s ambition.

67. The two major languages spoken in what is now called Great Britian before 1066 were________. A. Welsh and Scottish B. Nordic and Germanic

C. Celtic and Old English D. Anglo-Saxon and Germanic

68. Which of the following groups of words are, by inerence, rooted in French?

A. president, lawyer, beef B. president, bread, water

C. bread, field, sheep D. folk, field, cow

69. Why does France apeear less foreign than Germany to Americans on their first visit to Europe?

A. Most advertisements in France appear in English.

B. They know little of the history of the English language.

C. Many French words are similar to English ones.

D. They know French better than German.

70. What is the subject discussed in the text?

A. The history of Great Britain. B. The similarity between English and French.

C. The rule of England by William the Conqueror.

D. The French influences on the English language.

It is, everyone agrees, a huge task that the child performs when he learns to speak, and the fact that he does so in so short a period of time challenges explanation.

Language learning begins with listening. Individual children vary greatly in the amount of listening they do before they start speaking, and late starters are often long listeners. Most children will “obey” spoken instructions sometime before they can speak, though the word “obey” is hardly accurate(准确的) as a description of the eager and delighted cooperation usually shown by the child. Before they can speak, many children will also ask questions by gesture and by making questioning noises.

Any attempt to trace(探索)the development from the noises babies make to their first spoken words leads to considerable difficulties. It is agreed that they enjoy making noises, and that during the first few months one or two noises sort themselves out as particularly indicative of(表示)delight, suffering and so on. But since these cannot be said to show the baby’s intention to communicate, they can hardly be regarded as early forms of language. It is agreed, too, that from about three months they play with sounds for enjoyment, and that by six months they are able to add new sounds to their sound collection. This self-imitation(模拟)leads on to deliberate(深思熟虑的)imitation of sounds made or words spoken to them by other people. The problem then arises as to the point at which one can say that these imitations can be considered as speech.

71.By “…challenges explanation” the author means that _________.

A. no explanation is necessary for such an obvious phenomenon

B. no explanation has been made up to now

C. it’s no easy job to provide an adequate explanation

D. it’s high time that an explanation was provided

72.The third paragraph is mainly about _________.

A. the development of babies’ early forms of language

B. the difficulties of babies in learning to speak

C. babies’ strong desire to communicate D. babies’ intention to communicate

73.The author’s purpose in writing the second paragraph is to show that children ____.

A. usually obey without asking questions

B. are passive in the process of learning to speak

C. are born cooperative D. learn to speak by listening

74.From the passage we learn that _________.

A. early starters can learn to speak within only six months

B. children show a strong desire to communicate by making noises

C. imitation plays an important role in learning to speak

D. children have various difficulties in learning to speak

75.The best title for this passage would be _________.

A. How Babies Learn to Speak B. Early Forms of Language

C. A Huge Task for Children D. Noise Making and Language Learning

Dear Tom,

I would like to give my opinion about being on the Internet.

More and more middle school students here are starting using the Internet, through which they can get a great deal of the latest information. They can enjoy lessons given by the best teachers of net-schools at home. And it is easy and convenient to keep in touch with friends by sending and receiving e-mails.

On the other hand, some students have spent too much time chatting and playing games on the net. And there is still something harmful to the students.

At last, I suggest that students should be good at using the Internet for their studies and not be on line for long.

Yours,

Li Hua
