第三部分 阅读理解 (共20小题，每小题两分，满分40分)
Dear Mayor,
I would like to draw your attention to the depressing state of the environment in our city. Increased vehicles have made the air polluted. Citizens find it difficult to breathe. Dumping toxic chemicals into the river has polluted the drinking water and ground water.
All of us, as concerned citizens, have discussed these problems in various meetings. We have e up with the following proposals（提议）. The green roads are no longer green. Many trees and bushes have been cut. We propose restricting the movement of vehicles. Besides, we should make it pulsory（强制性的）to use anti-pollution devices on all vehicles. We should also plant more plants and trees along roads.
The Bada Nadi River has bee a dumping ground of toxic chemicals from some factories. These toxic chemicals have killed nearly all the life in the river and polluted our drinking water and ground water. We propose that the Bada Nadi River be declared a protected water body. All the dumping should be banned and heavy fine should be imposed on the offenders（违法者）. To tackle the problem of managing toxic waste, we propose setting up a water treatment plant so that only clean water is discharged into the river. Cleaning up the river and introducing various fishes and plants to the river will bring it back to life.
Lastly, the noise pollution caused by honking（鸣）horns and blaring loudspeakers has caused distress to one and all. Many people have suffered from noise-related illnesses. We propose a blanket ban on the use of loudspeakers. And “no horn zones” should also be declared in residential hospitals and school areas.
I would request you to seriously consider our proposals and act aordingly.
Thank you!
Sincerely yours,
A kind-hearted citizen

It's a name that needs no address. Everyone knows Santa Claus lives at the North Pole. So letters sent to Santa Claus find their way to the small town of the North Pole deep in Alaska，including those simply sent to Santa. Last year，120,000 letters arrived from 26 countries，not including the thousands with no return addresses.
Those who have return addresses usually get a reply and a North Pole postmark（邮戳） that has delighted children all over the world for many years. They feel happy to receive Santa's reply.
Letters arrive all the year around in the town of 1,600，where streets have names such as Santa Claus Lane and Kris Kringle Drive. Around Thanksgiving，they start getting there by the thousands each day as Christmas es. Even letters without stamps get through，an exception（例外）for the U．S. Postal Service.
“This is special because it has Santa's name on it，”said Debra Cornelius，an officer at the main post office in nearby Fairbanks，where the letters are kept during the holiday.
Gabby Gaborik is among several dozen volunteers who are busy sending off replies to children who sent return addresses.
In his 10 years as a volunteer，Gaborik has seen every kind of wish. There are children who want the latest toys they see on TV. There are children who ask for miracles（奇迹），some wanting their mother back for Christmas or their father back from Iraq，even though he died there.
Replies get a North Pole postmark，including a half¬moon drawing of Santa's face. Even late letters get a reply，Gaborik said，“It says something like ‘Thanks for writing. Santa's been really busy，’anything the children might want to hear，”he said.
59．Letters written to Santa Claus without an address can arrive at the North Pole because ______.

If you're working (建立人际关系) and nothing is happening, you might need to eva luate how you're doing it. Maybe you show up at each event and still feel challenged by the process. You aggressively talk to people, give out your cards, call endlessly to schedule an appointment but have no real suess from your efforts. To help you gain a different future, here are ten habits you should avoid.
Ineffective workers：
1. Lack patience. They expect immediate results and want business now, not tomorrow.
2. Constantly “selling” something. They see dollar signs every time they shake hands with someone.
3. Too many choices. If they offer a variety of products, they might try too hard to tell about all of them. Offering too much information sends a confusing message making it difficult for people to send referral (指点). Opportunities are all around us but when you're working, only focus on one.
4. Change positions too often. If they move from pany to pany or do something totally different, it might be difficult for people to keep up with them.
5. Lack manners and respect. They interrupt others, talk with food in their mouth, aren't very polite and appear unprofessional. They call people during dinner or on the weekends without thinking whether the oasion is suitable.
6. Distribute too many cards and sales literature. They e while loading with brochures, flyers (传单), catalogues and samples.
7. Focus on themselves. Too much selfpromotion can leave the other person to feel unappreciated. Every sentence begins with “I” and is all about their business.
8. “Talking” instead of “giving”. They don't realize what other people sense when they are being very selfish. Others may think that they are being taken advantage of.
9. Lack authenticity (可靠性) and personal values. They may create unrealistic expectations and not deliver on their promises. Sometimes doing things without integrity (诚实) possibly twists the truth.
10. Poor munication and interpersonal skills. They have trouble speaking effectively, building relationships and following up.
working is a process that is an investment of time and money. If you find you're doing any of these habits, consider learning how to improve on these and maximize your results while working. You'll start to get better at connecting with people and obtain more referrals.
63. This passage is meant for people who ______.
A. want to do more businesses
B. often take instead of giving
C. have poor munication and interpersonal skills
D. want to improve their interpersonal relationship
64. Aording to the second habit, we shouldn't ______ when we are working.
A. sell things B. talk about dollars
C. pay attention to money only D. shake hands with everyone
65. When talking with others, you should ______.
A. give out your cards and brochures every now and then
B. talk about the quality of your product as much as possible
C. interrupt others when they make a mistake
D. let other people express themselves pletely
66. Which of the following is NOT correct about a salesman's behavior?
A. He offers too much selfpromotion during the conversation.
B. He considers carefully when he can get what he expects.
C. He only focuses on one opportunity when working.
D. He keeps his promises and doesn't expect too much from others.
D
Whether we’re 2 years old or 62, our reasons for lying are mostly the same: to get out of trouble, for personal gain and to make ourselves look better in the eyes of others. But a growing body of research is raising questions about how a child’s lie is different from an adult’s lie, and how the way we deceive changes as we grow.
“Parents and teachers who catch their children lying should not be alarmed. Their children are not going to turn out to be abnormal liars,” says Dr. Lee, a professor at the University of Toronto and director of the Institute of Child Study. He has spent the last 15 years studying how lying changes as kids get older, why some people lie more than others as well as which factors can reduce lying. The fact that children tell lies is a sign that they have reached a new developmental stage. Dr. Lee conducted a series of studies in which they bring children into a lab with hidden cameras. Children and young adults aged 2 to 17 are likely to lie while being told not to look at a toy, which is put behind the child’s back. Whether or not the child takes a secret look is caught on tape.
For young kids, the desire to cheat is big and 90% take a secret look in these experiments. When the test-giver returns to the room, the child is asked if he or she looked secretly. At age 2, about a quarter of children will lie and say they didn’t. By 3, half of kids will lie, and by 4, that figure is 90%, studies show.
Researchers have found that it’s kids with better understanding abilities who lie more. That’s because to lie you also have to keep the truth in mind, which includes many brain processes, such as bining several sources of information and faking that information. The ability to lie ― and lie suessfully ― is thought to be related to development of brain regions that allow so called “executive functioning”, or higher order thinking and reasoning abilities. Kids who perform better on tests that involve executive functioning also lie more.
64. What’s the purpose of children telling lies?
A. To help their friends out. B. To get rid of trouble.
C. To get attention from others. D. To create a popular image.
65. The underlined word “deceive” in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by “ ”.
A. tell lies B. handle troubles C. raise questions D. do research
66. From the second paragraph we can know that .
A. which factors can reduce lying
B. why some lie more than others
C. it is normal for kids to tell lies
D. kids always keep the truth in their mind
67. What is NOT included in the passage?
A. The reasons why kids tell lies.
B. Which kind of kids tells more lies.
C. Experiments about lying of young kids.
D. What to do with lying children.

“Can't hold a candle to” is a popular expression. It is from the time before electricity, when people used candles for light. Someone who lived in a big house would have a servant light his way by holding a candle. The expression meant that the person who cannot hold a candle to you is not fit even to be your servant.
“Hold out” is an expression one hears often in sports reports and labor news. It means refusing to play or work. Professional football and baseball players hold out if their team refuses to pay them what they think they are worth. Members of labor unions hold out and refuse to work until they get the work agreement they want.
The expression “hold up” has several different meanings. One is a robbery. A man with a gun may say, “This is a hold up. Give me your money.” Another meaning is to delay. A driver late for work may tell his boss, “I was held up by heavy traffic.” Someone who was robbed on the way to work might say, “Sorry, boss, I was held up by a hold up.” Still another meaning of the expression is for a story to be considered true after an investigation. The same driver late for work could say, “My boss did not believe a hold up held me up. But the police confirmed what I said so my story held up.”
“Hold on” is another expression. Often it means wait or stop. As you leave for school, your brother may say, “Hold on, you fot your book.” Hold on is also used to ask a telephone caller to wait and not hang up his telephone.
71. The passage is mainly about___________.
A. the origin and usage of several “hold “expressions
B. how to distinguish between four “hold” expressions
C. the classifications of “hold” expressions.
D. the importance of “hold” expressions.
72. When talking about work, if a boss says to his assistant, “you can’t hold a candle to me”, he means that his assistant_____________.
A. is not efficient when doing her job
B. should work as a servant instead of an assistant
C. should help the boss with many tasks
D. is different from all her other colleagues.
73. If you can’t get your ideal salary, you can________.
A. hold a candle. B. hold out C. hold up D. hold on
74. Which of the following is NOT one of the meanings of “hold up”?
A. A robbery B. To delay C. To prove true D. Wait a moment.
75. Suppose a stranger es to ask you something when you are talking to your friends on the Phone in the street. What will you say to your friend?
A. Hold a candle. B. Hold out. C. Hold up D. Hold on.

第一节：任务型读写, 每个空格只填一个单词。
Some people believe that greed and selfishness has bee the basis of modern society, and we should return to the old traditions of family and munity, then we will have a better life. To what extent do you agree or disagree with the above opinion?
In this fast-paced world, many values are undergoing major changes. While people traditionally treasure caring, sharing and generosity in life and work, modern people seem to be more self-absorbed and self-concerned.
Moreover, modern people behave selfishly to survive the fierce petition of life. They say that it is a jungle out there. To survive, you have to fight with whatever means that can be used. Obviously greed and selfishness go perfectly well with such ideas. In a pany, employees do everything they can to get better pay and higher position, even at the cost of colleagues. We are in any way advocating（拥护）any selfish conduct. It is just that people are pressured to behave in a different way due to outside influences.
Are we happier to share with others and be generous to them? There is no fixed answer, either. Some people take great pleasure helping and giving to others while others feel happy doing the opposite. But I personally think that people should not be too selfish. Caring for others can actually encourage the development of a friendly relationship.
In conclusion, modern people appear to be more self-centered than those in the past due to strong outside pressure. However, we should encourage people to know the importance of being caring and generous and to build a friendly relationship with others.
