    _____________to somebody，a British person often shakes hands with the stranger.

    A．Introducing                   B．To introduce

    C．To be int．roduced            D．On being introduced    。

    D


    解析:

    很明显，句中的空白处应选用非谓语动词的被动形式。如果将C项填人空白处，虽然这个不定式是被动形式，但不定式短语处于句首是充当目的状语，或是充当含有虚拟意义的动名词时，其意为：“一……就……”，但介词on后带被动态的动名词，除上述意义外，还可表示：“在……的时候”。

    E
    “Life is speeding up. Everyone is getting unwell.”
    This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unknown citizen who lived in Rome in AD 52 wrote it.
    We all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives.
    But have all these developments really improve the quality of our lives?
    Picture this: You’re rushing to finish your homework on the computer. Your mobile phone rings, a QQ message from your friend appears on the screen, the noise from the television is getting louder and louder. Suddenly the computer goes blank and you lose all your work. Now you have to stay up all night to get it done. How calm and happy do you feel?
    Inventions have speeded up our lives so much that they often leave us feeling stressed and tired. Why do you think people who live far away from noisy cities, who have not telephones, no cars, not even any electricity often seem to be happier? Perhaps because they lead simpler lives.
    One family in the UK went “back in time” to see what life was like without all the inventions we have today. The grandparents, with their daughter, and grandsons Benjamin, 10, and Tomas, 7, spent nine weeks in a 1940s house. They had no washing machine, microwave, computer or mobile phones.
    The grandmother, Lyn, said, “It was hard physically, but not mentally.” She believed life was less materialistic. “The more things you have, the more difficult life becomes,” She said. The boys said they fought less to fight over, such as their computer. Benjamin also noticed that his grandmother had changed from being a “trendy（时髦的）, beer-drinking granny, to one who cooked things.”
    Here are some simple ways to beat the stress often caused by our inventions!
    Don’t be available all the time. Turn off your mobile phone at certain times of the day. Don’t check your e-mail every day.
    Don’t reply to somebody as soon as they leave a text message just because you can. It may be fun at first, but it soon gets annoying.
    72．The passage is mainly about        .
    A．problem with technology
    B．improvements of our life with technology
    C．the important roles technology plays in our everyday life
    D．major changes which will be likely to happen to technology
    73．The writer quoted（引用） what a citizen in ancient Rome said at the beginning of the story in order to        .
    A．share a truth about life
    B．tell us what life was like long time ago
    C．make us wonder what causes such a thing to happen
    D．point out that you experience some big problems and they may be the same
    74．Why did the family choose to spend some time in a 1940’s house? Because        .
    A．they liked to live simple lives
    B．they were curious about how people lived without modern inventions
    C．they were troubled by modern inventions
    D．living in a different time would be a lot of fun for them
    75．What do you think the underlined word “available” in the first suggestion offered by the writer mean?
    A．Busy on line.   B．Free..       C．Be able to.       D．Be found by others.

    Beatrix Potter was a great English writer and artist, best known for her children’s books featuring animal characters such as in the children’s classic -- The Tale of Peter Rabbit.
    Beatrix was born into a rich London-based family where she was tutored by very strict private teachers and so spent her youth isolated from other youngsters.
    During her youth she had a lot of pets and spent vacations in Scotland and also the Lake District. It was at the Lake District that she developed a love of wildlife. She studied the area’s natural wonders carefully and painted them continuously. But her old-fashioned, Manchester-born parents discouraged her intellectual improvement, thinking it inappropriate for a young lady. However, her study and watercolour paintings of wild mushrooms made her widely respected within the field of biology.
    In her 30’s, Beatrix Potter wrote the remarkably successful kid’s book, The Tale of Pew Rabbit. Close to that time she became secretly engaged to her publisher Norman Warne. This caused a great disagreement with her parents, who did not approve of Beatrix getting married to somebody of lower social status. Sadly, Warne died before the marriage ceremony.
    Ultimately Beatrix Potter began writing and also illustrating (绘图) kid’s books full-time. Using profits from her books, Beatrix grew to become economically independent of her parents and was eventually in a position to buy Hill Top Farm in the Lake District. She extended the property with additional purchases of neighbouring land over time. In her 40’s, Bestrix married William Heelis, a local lawyer. She ended up becoming a sheep breeder and farmer while continuing to publish as well as illustrate books for children. In all she authored 23 publications.
    Beatrix died on December 22, 1943, and left the majority of her property to the National Trust. Her books carry on selling well globally, in many different languages. Her stories have been retold in numerous formats including a ballet, movies, and cartoons.
    Such is her reputation, and that of the characters from her publications, that many Beatrix Potter statues have been created. These tiny Beatrix Potter statues which include pretty much all the actual characters in her publications have become highly valued by art collects and fans of her literature throughout the world.

    Recently in the hope of earning both money and social experience, I became a door-trw door salesman.

      I once read a saying. “If somebody wants something of yours, you will be treated as warmly as spring, but if they don’t you may be treated as coldly as winter.” You may consider this an exaggeration (夸张), but if you are a salesman, it is clearly correct.

       You would never have found it to be so true if you hadn’t been a salesman. You needn’t stand doubtful looks and unfriendly comments; you needn’t listen to something completely wrong and nod to say that it was quite right, you needn’t worry about being refused time after time; you needn’t always keep patience and a smile; you needn’t repeat the same sentences over and over again; you needn’t talk to somebody you dislike ....

      I did this work for a month, then I decided to give it up; Apart from the reasons above, I found I was paying too much attention to the job and thus sacrificing my study time. The latest test result proved that my grades were getting worse.

      Even worse, I hadn’t enough time to join my classmates in college activities. Some times 1 felt lonely and unhappy because of both my study and my part-time job. Now I don’t think it is worth doing such a thing for even though I was earning money it came at great cost.

      Newspapers and magazines often publish stories about excellent students who do part-time work while also keeping high scores in class. But according to my experience, park-time work can have some strong negative influences on study.

      Most students don’t view the relationship between study and work correctly. In my opinion, if it isn’t a must for financial reasons, students should be careful about taking up a part-time job.

    1. From the text, we can tell that the writer is _____.    

      A. an unemployed man                  B. a middle-school student

      C. a college student                    D. a door-to-door salesman

    2.Which of the following words has the closest meaning to the underlined word “sacrificing”? 

      A. Losing            B. Wasting        C. Using              D. Getting

    3.The writer thought_____. 

     A. doing a part-time job was unnecessary

     B. part-time jobs had good effect upon study

     C. it was hard to deal with the relationship between study and work

     D .part-time jobs would be good for every college student

    4.What would be the best title for the text _____.

     A. Part-time Jobs Are Useful             B. Part-time Jobs Can Cost Dear

     C. Students Shouldn’t Take Part-time Jobs  D. Part-time Jobs Are Important to Many Students
