    9．One sixth of undergraduates （本科生） in  Beijing this year have registered at a driving school．The students，mostly from majors such as business management or international trade，will finish there driving courses within 20 days or so．
    Training costs have dropped to，2，600yuan for students，according to the Haidian Driving School in Beijing．The price is not really low，but students will accept it，seeing it as an investment （投资） in their future．Familiarity with the operation of computers and fluent English are the basic skills graduating students need to find a job．But a driver's permit has become another factor．
    "In the job market，owning a driver's permit sometimes strengthens a graduating student's competitiveness for a good position，"says Zhou Yang，an undergraduate at the China University of Political Science and Law．
    Cars will become a necessary part of many people's lives in the coming years，and it's difficult to get a permit out of campus because of the pressures on working people's time．"Having a full-time job after graduation offers limited time to learn to drive．We senior students have plenty of spare time，plenty of opportunities to learn．"
    Xu Jian，an official at the driving school，said undergraduates were very able and serious，and could grasp in an hour what it took ordinary people four hours to learn．In this driving school，middle-aged people，young women and college students are the main customers．

    19．How would you like an easy way to earn 2，500？All you have to do is to sit around and wait for your meals．There's a catch，however．You have to stay in a chicken cage with a stranger for a whole week．There are no books or television or radio for a whole week．There are no books or television or radio for amusement．You can't leave until the week is up．And a camera will be recording your every move．
    Two people actually took the job．The idea came from Rob Thompson，a video artist．He wanted to make a film about the way animals are treated．His goal was to raise people's awareness （认识） of the living conditions of animals that are raised for food．He decided to pay 5，000out of his own savings to two people who were willing to live like chickens for a week．

    The week was long and difficult．They slept on a hard wooden floor．They couldn't stand up without banging their heads．They ate mash（a kind of food for animals） and drink water from a garden pipe．Their only privacy （隐私） was a toilet surrounded by a curtain．There were no sinks，mirrors，or toothbrushes in the cage．Visitors who came here were warned，"Do not feed the humans．"
    Finally it was over，and Pam and Eric came out of the cage．They had survived the week，and they each had a $2，500check in their hands．When Rob Thompson opened the cage，Eric came out，changed into clean clothes，and ate a chocolate bar right away．"It's great for me to be able to stand up．"he said．Pam just changed her clothes and left．After a week of visitors and reporters watching her，she didn't want to talk to anyone．
    57．The underlined word"catch"（in Paragraph 1）probably meansD．
    A．unsolved problem  
    B．surprising wonder  
    C．unbelievable condition

    A．That they had nothing for fun．

    C．That they couldn't lie down to sleep in the cage．
    D．That they had to do almost everything in public．

    20．Pride and Prejudice for the Modern Woman
    Let us imagine how Pride and Prejudice（《傲慢与偏见》），Jane Austen's most famous work，might be updated，200years on．Austen's popularity is rooted in her intelligence．But today she would certainly have had a very different life，as would her characters．Here's my own suggestion．
    It is a truth finally and universally acknowledged that a single woman with brains deserves to have equal opportunities to men，however disadvantaged she may feel by sexism．
    "My dear husband，"said his hopeful wife one day，"have you heard that the local store，standing empty for so long，is taken over by a bright young businesswoman？"
    Her dull and indifferent （漠不关心的） husband replied that he had not．"But it is，it is，"she replied excitedly．Mr Dull-Husband made no reply．
    "Don't you want to know her plans？"she cried with some impatience．
    "Well，clearly you think it matters to your silly little head…so I'd better listen．"
    "Well，my dear，the rumour（传言）is that she has already set up a series of successful businesses in northern England，though how a woman can know anything about that is beyond me"．She will move in herself next month．"
    "What is her name？"
    "Bingley．"
    "Is she married or single？"
    "What a question!And none of your business．But her coming will be a fine thing for our five boys．"
    "How so？How can it possibly affect them？"
    "My dear love； those lazy boys need something to wake them up．There are bound to be （注定） jobs going．"
    "Is that her point in settling here？Surely as a woman she has simply taken a fancy to the place．"
    "Nonsense，my love，how little you've noticed the world has changed．She's got a first-rate degree and some sort of business qualification，I'm told．She surely needs one of our boys!Perhaps you might give her a call．"
    "Me？No．Perhaps you can take an interest．You still have your looks，after all．She may even offer you a job．"
    "Oh，that's not likely．These new chances belong to the younger generation．But now you mention it，I think I'll go along all the same．"
    And Mrs．Bennet went along．That was 10years ago．She is now managing director of a FTSE-listed company．
    It would remain the case，of course，that Mrs．Bennet would be one of very few women on the company board，that her salary would be lower than her male colleagues，her bonus of a more"female"dimension and her lifespan （年限） among the city's business leaders shorter than theirs．Still，she'd no doubt have enjoyed Davos-and might even have hobnobbed （攀谈） with influential figures．

    32．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？D
    A．Austen was born 200years ago．
    B．Austen rewrote Pride and Prejudice．
    C．Austen's updated work gains popularity．
    D．Austen's success lies in her wisdom．
    33．The underlined part in the passage suggests that Mrs BennetA．
    A．had mixed feelings of admiration and surprise about Bingley
    B．felt kind of worried and doubtful about Bingley
    C．was extremely anxious to meet Bingley
    D．had a great curiosity about Bingley
    34．In the eyes of Mrs．Bennet，Bingley surely needed one of their boys toC．
    A．get married to              
    B．help her move in
    C．work for her                              
    D．take over her store
    35．What does the writer intend to tell us？D
    A．Women with brains can also be as successful as men．
    B．Women have to pay a high price for success．
    C．A judgment must be made free from prejudice．
    D．Sex discrimination （歧视） still exists nowadays．

    17．Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive （欺骗）？When someone tells you something that is true，but leaves out important information that should be included，he can give you a false picture．
     For example，some might say，"I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery （彩票）．It was great．I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!"
    This guy is a winner，right？Maybe，maybe not．We then discover that he bought  $200 worth of tickets，and only one was a winner．He's really a big loser!
    He didn't say anything that was false，but he left out important information on purpose．That's called a half-truth．Half-truths are not technically lies，but they are just as dishonest．
    Some politicians often use this trick．Let's say that during Governor Smith's last term，her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs．Then she seeks another term．One of her opponents says，"During Governor Smith's term，the state lost one million jobs!"That's true．However，an honest statement would have been，"During Governor Smith's term，the state had a net gain of two million jobs．"
    Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths．It's against the law to make false statements，so they try to mislead you with the truth．An advertisement might say，"Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache．"It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company．
    This kind of deception happens too often．It's a sad fact of life：Lies are lies，and sometimes the truth can lie as well．
    29．We may infer that the author believes people shouldC．
    A．buy lottery tickets if possible          
    B．make use of half-truths
    C．be careful about what they are told      
    D．not trust the Yucky Company
    30．How many examples does the writer give to show how the truth is used to deceive？
    C  
    A．one             B．Two              C．Three             D．Four
    31．Which of the following is true according to the passage？D
    A．Using half truths is against the law．
    B．Technically，half truths are in fact lies．
    C．Yucky Pills is a very good medicine for toothache．
    D．Governor Smith did a good job during her last term．

    4．The earth is the only planet that scientists think has life．Why does the earth have life while the other planets don't？For one thing，the earth is just the right temperature．As the third planetfrom the sun，the earth seems to be just the right distance away．The planets which are closer to the sun are hot that their surfaces bake in the sun．The farthest planets are cold balls．
    When the earth developed-which scientists believe may have happened about 4 billion years ago-many gases covered the earth．The gases caused the earth to be hot．But something wonderful happened．The temperature was just right for thick clouds to form．It rained very hard for a very long time．This gave the earth its oceans．Water made it possible for plants to grow．The plants created oxygen in the atmosphere．Oxygen is the gas that humans and animals breathe．
    Only one other planet in the solar system seems to be something like the ear th．That planet is Mars．Mars is smaller than the earth，and it is quite a bit cooler．But it is not too cold for humans．On some days，the temperatures are as low as a winter day in the northern United States．If you wore a special space suit，you could walk around on Mars．You would have to bring your own air to breathe，the air on Mars is too thin to breathe．
    Mars has the largest volcano （火山） in the solar system．It is sixteen miles high．The highest volcano on the earth is five miles high．The most unexpected sight on Mars is dried up river beds．Scientists believe that Mars was once much better than it is now．Does this mean there could have been living things on Mars？Scientists are not sure，but there has been no si gn so far．

    29．Which of the following is NOT the reason that the earth has life？B
    A．The earth is j ust the right temperature．
    B．The volcanos on earth are lower than those on Mars．
    C．There is oxygen in the atmosphere of the earth．

    30．The underlined phrase"the third planet"in the first paragraph refers toC．
    A．the Sun       B．the Moon         C．the Earth            D．the Mars

    14．How Can I Fight Laziness？
    Lazy people will never amount to anything in life．However，laziness can be defeated once a few changes have been made in your mind．
    （36）AMany people lack sleep constantly，since they stay up too late and get up too early to prepare for work．These people have little motivation once they arrive home．Laziness works hand in hand with a lack of motivation and a tendency to put off things．By adjusting your sleep schedule to provide a few more hours of meaningful rest，you can fight laziness throughout the day．
    Another way to fight laziness is to change your mind from passive to active．Some people treat their lives as if they were pushed from task to task．Others take a more proactive approach，viewing each task as a challenge they must overcome alone．（37）GSome people fight laziness by removing the temptations （诱惑） that surround them．A television in the living room may provide entertainment，but watching too much TV often contributes to laziness．（38）FComplete a few tasks and reward yourself with what you enjoy，such as a good dinner or a film．
    Laziness can also be a lasting problem at home．Couples and children may all have different energy levels，but laziness can be spread if not dealt with immediately．（39）DBe the first to collect and wash dishes after a meal．Others in the home may eventually follow your example and perform their own task．It is difficult to practice laziness when you are surrounded by motivated people．
    （40）CEnough exercise and a balanced diet can help you to develop a healthy lifestyle，thus enabling you to have more energy and help lift your spirits．

    A．One way to fight laziness is to get enough sleep．
    B．Knowing how to fight laziness is important．
    C．Finally，taking exercise regularly can help you fight laziness．
    D．To fight family laziness，set an example．
    E．With strong determination，you will be able to achieve your goal．
    F．Create a reward system for yourself，just as parents do for a child．
    G．Laziness sets in when you no longer feel in charge of your own life．
