    “Clothes make the man” goes the old saying. Many people believe clothing choices say a lot about character as well as social status.
    People adopt some kind of style in daily life, usually because they are trying to fit in with certain surroundings or show their connection to a particular group, says German image consultant Beatrix Isabel Lied. This means that people use clothing to send signals to those around them: The wearer of a black polo-neck sweater (套头圆领毛衣) might be an artist, an educated man or an architect. Outdoor and nature-loving types tend to choose weatherproof （防风雨的）jackets and durable shoes instead. Women usually spend more time on clothes than men.
    “Clothing is not only an expression of taste, but also an expression of attitude,” says Lied.
    According to style advisor Lisa Zimmermann from Berlin, there is nothing superficial (肤浅的) about judging people by the clothes they wear. “It's about the famous first 10 seconds, which is all it takes to make an impression,” she says.
    Apart from material, Zimmermann believes people, whether consciously or unconsciously, choose a color, which they believe suits them and the situation.
    Different colors can produce different effects. Black signals a sense of being something special, and it also stands for concentration. Blue, the color of the sky, stands for pragmatism (实用主义) and intellect (知识分子). “It is the color of power,” says Zimmermann. Red clothing gets the wearer noticed and can indicate an outgoing character. Yellow stands for cheerfulness and optimism, while pink is naturally the most romantic of colors.
    Experts say it is important to be aware of the meanings of particular colors, which can vary a lot between different cultures.
    What does the underlined sentence in the first paragraph mean?
    Clothes can decide what a man’s job is.
    Clothes can tell us whether a person is really a man.
    Clothes can tell us about a man’s character and social position.
    Clothes can help us choose our life style.
    According to Lied, an artist might wear ____________.
    A. a black polo-neck sweater               B. weatherproof jackets
    C. nature-loving types                         D. a red sweater
    Lisa Zimmermann believes____________.
    A. there is something wrong with judging people by what they wear
    B. there is nothing wrong with judging people by what they wear
    C. people usually choose what they believe suits them and the situation consciously
    D. people usually choose what they believe suits them and the situation unconsciously
    What color stands for concentration?
    A. Black.               B. Blue.         C. Red           D. Pink
    Which sentence is true according to the passage?
    In different cultures, colors mean the same.
    In different cultures, colors mean different things.
    In different cultures, different colors can produce the same effect.
    In different cultures, different colors can produce different effects.

    Put an ice cube from your fridge into a glass of water. You have a piece of string(线) 10 centimeters long. The problem is to take out that piece of ice with the help of the string. But you must not touch the ice with your fingers.

    Attending a university is an important part of a person’s life. Today, many people go to a university to study and train for a future job in subjects like law, medicine, or education. But the university is not a modern invention. It has a history that is over a thousand years old.
    The world’s oldest university, Al-Azhar, is in Cairo, Egypt. It was first built as a mosque in A.D. 972. A few years later, learners and teachers began meeting in the mosque in “tutoring circles”. They read and talked about the subject of law. Around 988, leaders in the city of Cairo decided to create a school for higher learning and the University of Al-Azhar was founded.
    At Al-Azhar, there were many university ‘firsts.’ Courses were created. The earliest ones taught at Al-Azhar were in law and religion. In a course, students read and studied with the teacher, but there was also free discussion. Often, students and teachers talked about a topic, and there was no ‘right’ answer. Finally, scholars from around the world came to Al-Azhar to teach and do research. At the university, people studied the past, but it was also a place for sharing new ideas.
    Over a thousand years later, Al-Azhar is still an important university in the world. Its library contains more than 250,000 of the world’s oldest and most valuable books. Today, many of the world’s most important universities such as Oxford and Harvard still follow the traditions started at Al-Azhar.
    小题1:What’s this passage mainly about?
    A．The history of the world’s oldest university.
    B．The importance of attending a university.
    C．The relationship between university and future job.
    D．The invention of a modern university.
    小题2: The first university was founded over _____ years ago.
    A．a hundrendB．hundreds ofC．a thousandD．thousands of
    小题3:The oldest university in the world is _____.
    A．OxfordB．CambridgeC．HarvardD．Al-Azhar
    小题4: What does the underlined word “course” mean in this passage?
    A. A series of lessons.                                    C. A period of time.
    C. A series of actions.                                    D. A group of professors.

    A new study suggests that the round-the-clock(24小时不断的)availability that cell phone have brought to people’s lives may be taking a toll on family life．The study，which followed more than 1，300 adults over 2 years, found that those who consistently used a mobile phone throughout the study period were more likely to report negative “spillover’’ between work and home life—and，in turn, less satisfaction with their family life.
    Spillover essentially(本质上)means that the line between work and home begins to become unclear．Work life may invade home life when a parent is taking job—related calIs at home，for instance--or family issues may start to take up work time．For example，a child may call mom at work，telling her "microwave exploded” explained Noelle Chesley，an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Wisconsin—Milwaukee and the author of the study. The problem with cell phones seems to be that they are allowing for ever more spillover between work and home．   
    This may be especially true for working women，the study found. Among men，consistent use of mobile phones seemed to allow more work issues to creep (潜入)into family time．But for women，the spillover tended to go in both directions. Being “connected” meant that work cut into home time，and family issues came into work life． 
    Cell phones seem to be opening more lines for stressful exchanges among family member．But there may be ways to control the spillover，according to Chesley．Employers, she said，could look at their policies on contacting employees after hours to make sure their expectations are “reasonable”．For their part，employees could decide that cell phones go off during family time, Chesley said. 
    64．What does the underlined phrase “taking a toll on’’ probably mean in Paragraph 1?
    A. Explaining.   B. Influencing.    C. Damaging.   D. Extending      
    65．According to Chesley，what is the best solution to the problem caused by cell
    phones?
    A. Refuse to use cell phones．
    B. Separate work hours from family time．
    C. Ignore coming calls during family time．
    D. Encourage women to stay at home．
    66．We can learn from the passage that ___________________.
    A．spillover makes the line between work and home unclear
    B．cell phones seem to be convenient to families
    C．cell phones affect men as much as women
    D．we can do nothing to solve the problem
    67. What is the main idea of the passage?
    A .How to control the negative spillover caused by cell phones.
    B. Cell phones cause negative “spillover’’ between work and home life.
    C. Consistent use of cell phones makes people feel less satisfied with their work.
    D.How work life invades home life.

    Michael Newman is trying to get ahead to provide for his family. He is a talented architect who willingly takes on projects with impossible deadlines in order to please his boss Ammer and secure a partnership in the firm. But all work and no play mean that Michael is missing spending time with the family. His wife Donna is trying to be available for swim meets, camping trips, tree house completion and some good old days. Ben and Samantha are his adoring children who just want to play with their dad.
    After yet another long day filled with frustrations, Michael goes in search of a universal remote (万能遥控器) so that he can at least be in control of his TV. Only one store is open: Bed, Bath and Beyond – where he gets a very special universal remote.
    There is a lot of power in Michael’s new toy; he can revisit old scenes from his past, put people on mute (无声的) and fast forward through the boring parts. He turns off the volume each time he argues with his wife. He fast – forwards through a boring family dinner. He skips ahead to avoid a bad cold. He jumps to the chapter where he gets a promotion. It’s all really great until the remote begins to use some of the specially programmed features – the remote starts predicting when Michael will use it, automatically hurtling (猛扔) him beyond life’s difficult and mundane moments. But most of our lives are difficult and mundane, so Michael is forced to travel years into the future. Eventually, he realizes the family dog has died and been replaced by another, that his kids have grown up, that his wife is married to someone else, and that he weighs 400 pounds. It happened while he wasn’t paying attention.
    The movie is being sold as a comedy, but it essentially involves a workaholic who uses the universal remote to skip over all the bad things in his life and discovers in the process that he is missing life itself.
    60．Why did Michael Newman decide to buy a universal remote?
    A．To make his boss happy
    B．To remember his life in the past
    C．To see what his future life would be like
    D．To escape from the hardships of his life
    61．The underlined word “mundane” in the third paragraph means          .
    A．interesting       B．exciting    C．boring      D．abandoned
    62．What can we infer from the story?
    A．Michael is unable to support his family.
    B．Michael has some difficulties in his job now.
    C．The remote can help Michael do many things.
    D．Michael is an irresponsible man.
    63．The main purpose of the passage is to            .
    A．remind us to live a real life     B．persuade us to buy the remote
    C．encourage us to work hard      D．make us feel relaxed from work

    第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
    阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
    “Help! Help! Help!” a resident screamed over the phone, “I am being eaten alive by mosquitoes!”
    Recent rainfalls have produced an early hit of blood-seeking mosquitoes．Once flooded, eggs laid during the drought along water banks hatch（孵化）quickly, flying off to seek hosts such as people, birds, and other animals．
    The flood mosquitoes are big and aggressive．They chase you down, drill into your skin and take your blood, causing pain and itchiness．“I have lost a pint of blood to those suckers,” a Spring Hill resident claimed．“Mosquitoes are killing my kids,” a Ridge Manor woman shouted．
    Residents are urged to protect themselves when going out, especially during the hours of dusk and dawn．Long-sleeve shirts, long pants, socks and hats will help keep mosquitoes at bay．
    Mosquito Control has already received hundreds of service requests this month．When calling in, residents need to provide their name, address, phone number and nature of the problem．Technicians will respond by investigating the problem and making proper treatment and notification to resident．
    Mosquitoes grow in almost any kind or amount of water．Controlling mosquito larvae（幼虫） is vital to mosquito control．Confined in their water habitat, larvae are treated and eliminated before they mature and “take to wing．” Field technicians check their areas searching for mosquitoes breeding in lakes, ponds, drainage ditches and they treat the water with a host of larvicides（杀幼虫剂）．
    It is important to understand that mosquito control is much more than sending a spray truck （airplane or helicopter in other counties） to kill adult mosquitoes．Night-time spraying is actually the last defense after all the above procedures have been done, but there are still mosquitoes present in the area．
    56．The author writes the first paragraph in order to _________．
    A．make the public take action at once
    B．attract readers to read the following contents
    C．show that the people bothered by mosquitoes are helpless
    D．criticize the government has done nothing
    57．When do the eggs hatch according to the passage?
    A．When the flood hits．     B．During the drought．
    C．After the flood leaves．  D．When spring comes．
    58．When are mosquitoes most dangerous?
    A．At dawn and dusk．       B．At noon．
    C．In the late morning．      D．At midnight．
    59．When calling Mosquito Control, people should provide the following EXCEPT _________．
    A．their name and address    B．phone number
    C．nature of the problem      D．marriage and possessions

    D
    Last week Jay McCarroll and The HSUS(The Humane Society of the United States)  made a bold fur-free statement on the runway, marking a new chapter for the fashion industry and animal protection. The encouraging response to McCarroll’s show confirmed that change is happening in fashion.
    McCarroll has good reasons for rejecting fur. Each year, tens of millions of animals, including dogs and cats, needlessly suffer and die to fuel the fur industry. But what did Jay McCarroll use in place of fur? “I have patchwork pieces that contain all sorts of combinations of fabrics. The rest is cotton, nylon, polyester . . . you name it. I even have some stuff made out of bamboo/cotton blend. Anything but fur and leather, ”he told Fashion Wire Daily.
    “So many people want to protect animals and live their lives without causing unnecessary cruelty. More than two thirds of Americans have pets, and we share a bond with animals every day. Saying no to fur can help millions of animals, and we want to show our respect to leading designers like Jay who embrace compassion as the fashion, ”said Michael Markarian, executive vice president of The HSUS. “It is great to see leaders in the fashion industry recognizing that the animals need their fur more than we do.”
    63．Which of the following is true about Jay McCarroll?
    A. He is a famous fashion designer.
    B. He is the executive vice president of the HSUS.
    C. He is an editor of Fashion Wire Daily.
    D. He is the head of all animal protection organization.
    64．What does “a new chapter” in line two, paragraph one mean?
    A. A new unit of a book.                                                 B. The beginning of a new trend.
    C. The latest issue of a magazine.                       D. A newly established organization.
    65．Which of the following is NOT recommended for clothing by Jay McCarroll?
    A. Polyester.                       B. Bamboo.                         C. Leather.                 D. Patchwork pieces.
    66．What do we learn from this passage?
    A. Human beings depend emotionally on animals.
    B. Fashion can go hand in hand with compassion for life.
    C. Fur is more effective than bamboo／cotton blend for clothing.
    D. Fur is more expensive than other materials for fashion designers.
