    　　As we grow up, we gradually develop a set of our own values or beliefs．These are influenced by society, our family, the education we receive and so on．Once this value system is set up, it’s not easy to change later in life．Financial experts say that every one also has their own belief of how to manage their money．According to our different values, experts put us in three categories．They are：the ant, the cricket and the snail．

    　　◆The ant－works first

    　　Just like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter, these people don’t care about enjoying the moment．They work very hard and save money they earn so that they can enjoy life when they get old and retire．The ant loves to save but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest in some funds and stocks(股票)with low risk．

    　　◆The cricket－fun first

    　　The cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn’t think too much about the future．They even borrow money when they really want something．Many young people now belong to this group．These people have little savings．When they get old, they might have problems．They should learn to save and buy insurance(保险)．

    　　◆The snail－lives under pressure

    　　The snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves．They take big long-term loans(贷款)from the bank in order to buy things such as luxury houses．They are happy to take big loans even though they are not sure they can afford it．This can cause problems in the future．They should plan more carefully．

    (1)

    One’s values may ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    be his ways of managing money

    B．

    be his beliefs about society

    C．

    determine his family and education

    D．

    influence his behavior

    (2)

    Mr．Smith always enjoys spending a weekend with his friends, fishing, hunting and playing cards．Moreover, he spends money in a very luxurious way．So, ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    Mr．Smith belongs to the ant type

    B．

    Mr．Smith belongs to the cricket type

    C．

    Mr．Smith belongs to the snail type

    D．

    it’s hard to tell which kind of person Mr．Smith is

    (3)

    The writer of the passage seems to be in favor of ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    the ant

    B．

    the cricket

    C．

    the snail

    D．

    none of them

    (4)

    According to the passage, the most suitable title would be ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    Spending Nature

    B．

    What Comes First

    C．

    How to Understand Your Values

    D．

    Work and Fun

    答案：1．D;2．B;3．A;4．A;
    解析：

    (1)

    主观推断题。从第一段我们了解到，人类的价值观受到社会、家庭和教育等因素的影响，而价值观一旦形成，不容易改变，而且会影响到人类的行为。

    (2)

    定义理解题。cricket type属于“及时行乐”，而Mr Smith正好也属这一类人。

    (3)

    主观推断题。这可从对Ant type的介绍中看得出。

    (4)

    本文主要介绍在消费方面三种不同类型的人，所以A项正好表现出此意，即消费特点。

    　　Watching 3D films such as Avatar could give some viewers headaches, experts have warned．

    　　The success of James Cameron's science-fiction blockbuster(卖座的大片), which has already taken more than ＄1 billion(￡600 million)at the box office, is fuelling a surge in popularity for three-dimensional movies and new 3D television sets．

    　　But prolonged viewing may result in an aching head, according to Dr Michael Rosenberg, an ophthalmology(眼科学)professor at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine in Chicago．

    　　He said："There are a lot of people walking around with very minor eye problems, for example a minor muscle imbalance, which under normal circumstances the brain deals with naturally．"

    　　Watching a 3D movie confronts viewers with an entirely new sensory experience．"That translates into greater mental effort, making it easier to get a headache," he said．

    　　Dr Deborah Friedman, a professor of ophthalmology and neurology(神经学)at the University of Rochester Medical Center in New York, said："If your eyes are a little off to begin with then it's really throwing a whole degree of effort that your brain now needs to exert．This disparity for some people will give them a headache．"

    　　Experts say there are no studies tracking how common it is to get a headache after watching a 3D film．

    　　Rick Heineman, a spokesman for RealD, which provides 3D equipment to cinemas, said headaches and nausea were the main reasons 3D technology never took off before．

    　　But he said new digital technology addresses many of the problems that had previously caused sore heads．

    (1)

    What can we learn from what Dr Michael Rosenberg said?

    [　　]

    A．

    A lot of people prefer walking around with very minor eye problems to sitting silently watching 3D films．

    B．

    The brain can deal with very minor eye problems under normal circumstances naturally．

    C．

    A lot of people haven’t got very minor eye problems when viewing films under normal circumstances．

    D．

    People come into very minor eye problems and a minor muscle imbalance when watching 3D films．

    (2)

    What does the underlined word “prolonged” in the 3rd paragraph mean?

    [　　]

    A．

    continuous

    B．

    constant

    C．

    regular

    D．

    long-time

    (3)

    According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

    [　　]

    A．

    It has taken less than ＄1 billion to make the popularity of three-dimensional movies and new 3D television sets．

    B．

    Watching a 3D movie leaves viewers confronted with an entirely new sensory experience．

    C．

    There are studies tracking how common it is to get a headache after watching a 3D film．

    D．

    Rick Heineman said that 3D technology would never take off headaches and nausea in future．

    (4)

    What’s the main idea of the passage?

    [　　]

    A．

    The expert warns the readers not to watch 3D films because of resulting in an aching head．

    B．

    New digital technology gives viewers headaches and eye problems．

    C．

    The experts are studying how to get rid of many of the problems that have previously caused sore heads．

    D．

    Viewing 3D films may result in some side-effect problems such as headaches．

         CBC is a famous air company which has over twenty planes carrying passengers and goods, flying
    along 12 fixed lines all over the world. Its service is very good but some passengers are still not satisfied

    tickets. Reservations are problems that appear when passengers could not get the tickets they have already
    booked. Tours are problems about the passengers'traveling by air or hotel problems. Advertising is what the
