It was the end of the weeke
22、nd and I hadn“t checked my e-mails since last Friday afternoon. There was a long list of messages. Some I removed without reading. Others were from friendsI saved those to read later when I had more time. One stood out from the rest for two reasons. The first was the name, Maher Nawaf, which I didn“
23、t recognize. The second was the subject line: “pleas papers.“ Clearly, the e-mail was from someone who did not have a complete mastery of the English language. The message was from an Iraqi, a university research scientist in Mosul who wanted permission to reprint a research paper I had written. As
24、a scientist, I“m used to getting these kinds of requests; it“s part of the give-and-take among researchers that I especially like. I wrote back the next day, asking for more information about the type of work he was doing. I also wished him and his family best for their safety and well-being during
25、this dangerous time in his land. A couple of days later, his reply appeared in my inbox. It read, in part: “hi dear Dr. I“m very happy to hear good news from you and your help, also I“d like to thank you for your feelings towards me and my family . thank you very much for help. I want to tell you th
26、at I“m ready to help you in mosul university/iraq if you need that.“ Maher also explained in his broken English that he was interested in a paper I“d written on the use of lactobacillus acidophilus (a healthy product that can be found in yogurt (酸奶) and other foods). It was his hope that he could us
27、e my findings to help find a treatment for gastrointestinal (消化系统的) illness. He signed off: “warmest regards to you and lovely family.“ Despite his difficulty with the language, he had painted a picture for me that was far more than a simple request for information. The humanity displayed (流露出的) in
28、his message made me want to both smile and cry.（分数：4.00）(1).Why did the e-mail from an Iraqi catch the author“s attention?（分数：1.00）A.The subject line was not written in standard English.B.It was not completely written in English.C.The sender“s name seemed familiar.D.It had a short subject line.(2).W
29、hat does the author like to do as a scientist with other researchers?（分数：1.00）A.Reprint research papers.B.Exchange research findings.C.Chat with them on the Internet.D.Wish each other the best of luck.(3).Besides work interest, the Iraqi and the author“s e-mails also delivered _.（分数：1.00）A.heart-war
30、ming friendly feelingsB.medicine to treat certain diseaseC.news about each other“s familyD.their opinion on wars(4).What can we infer from the text?（分数：1.00）A.The author of the text is a language teacher.B.Iraqi people are much happier now than before.C.The Internet can bring people closer to each o
31、ther.D.Even knowing a little English can help you learn a lot.九、Text 2(总题数：1，分数：4.00)Business put lots of time and money into new plans, programs and excellent employees with the hope things will change. Yet, at the end of the effort, not much changes. What happens? In most cases, those new plans, p
32、rograms and employees enter a company with an existing culture. And plans, programs and employees have a way of conforming to (顺应) the existing culture. The culture of your business is the result of a particular mindset, or a particular way of thinking and the general feelings about certain things.
33、Most often, it is the mindset of the founder or people managing the business. The founder has gotten to where he is because of his skill sets, knowledge base and personal beliefs, which unfortunately all come with inherent (固有的) limits. Why? Skills, knowledge and beliefs come from what he or she alr
34、eady knows or has experienced. In other words, it comes from the past. We (people) try to make the past fit the future. Just because something worked in the past doesn“t mean it is suitable for the future. As the saying goes, if you do and think what have always done and thought, you will have what
35、you have always had. Therefore, lasting changes have to start with the way people think. To make changes in the way you think, you will be required to set goals beyond your basic abilities and continuously think them through. It is a way to train yourself and people to get out of the comfort zone wh
36、ere you feel happy with your knowledge and skills.（分数：4.00）(1).Which questions does the author try to answer?（分数：1.00）A.What past experience is useful for businesses?B.How much time is needed for making plans?C.How can changes be made in businesses?D.What kinds of employees are the best?(2).Where do

38、It is important for personal beliefs build-up.D.It may limit the company“s development.(4).What plays a key role in making changes in a company?（分数：1.00）A.Making a breakthrough in the way people think.B.Training people to be able to face hardship.C.Setting clearer goals for employees.D.Making the pa
39、st fit the future.十、Text 3(总题数：1，分数：4.00)It“s not much, but it“s home. Francis Chan, an engineer, lives in Hampstead, north London, in a flat that“s just 4ft wide by 21ft long. He loves it. Tiny though it is, it has got all the comforts. Peter Baynes, Chan“s architect (建筑师), has achieved a clever pi
40、ece of design, according to architectural experts. The Chan mini-house was built on what was once a path down the side of a big Victorian house. Not an inch of space is wasted. When you step in through the front door, you“re standing in the shower, on Britain“s only self-cleansing doormat (自动清洁门垫).
41、A door opens on to an equally tiny toilet with washbasin. Two steps further in comes the kitchen, complete with full-sized cooker and fridge, and washer/drier. A worktop folds down from the wall. Another step and you“re into the dining/office area. Four people can sit here for dinner, says Chan as h
42、e sets the table-top into place. He even has a fold-down drawing-board for when he“s working at home. The bed is hidden under a cover board right at the back. “I don“t even have to make the bed,“ Chan says. “I just put the cover down.“ Chan“s business suits hang neatly on the wall over the bed. Dayl
43、ight comes in through the skylight. The house feels like a very small boat and Chan admits he toyed with the idea of naming it the “boat-house“. “It cost around 4,700 pounds to build last year. Now it“s been valued at 30,000 pounds. It proves that good design doesn“t need to cost more. It just needs
44、 a lot of care,“ says Chan.（分数：4.00）(1).By saying “It“s not much“ (line 1, para.1), the author means that Chan“s fiat _.（分数：1.00）A.is cheapB.has cheap furnitureC.has a simple designD.is fairly small(2).Where is Chan“s flat?（分数：1.00）A.Next to a big house.B.Under an old building.C.In a busy London str
45、eet.D.By the side of a country road.(3).Which of the following is the right order of things described in the text?（分数：1.00）A.Shower, kitchen, toilet, dining table and bed.B.Shower, toilet, dining table, kitchen and bed.C.Shower, toilet, kitchen, dining table and bed.D.Shower, kitchen, toilet, bed an
46、d dining table.(4).What is the purpose of this writing?（分数：1.00）A.To sell Chan“s flat for more money.B.To tell people how to take care of small flats.C.To introduce to readers a cleverly-designed flat.D.To call on engineers to design their own homes.十一、Text 4(总题数：1，分数：4.00)Scientists say they now ha
47、ve proof to support the old-fashioned advice that it“s best to sleep on a problem. They say sleep strengthens the memory and helps the brain organize the masses of information we receive each day. Lead researcher Bob Stickgold at the Harvard Medical School said, “Sleep helps us draw rules from our e
48、xperiences. It“s like knowing the difference between dogs and cats, even if it“s hard to explain.“ The US research team studied how well students remembered connections between words and symbols (象征), reports New Scientist. They compared how the students performed if they had had a sleep between see
49、ing the words and having the test, and if they had not slept. They found that people were better able to remember lists of related words after a night“s sleep than after the same time spent awake during the day. They also found it easier to remember themes that the words had in common. But they forgot around one in four more themes (主题) if they had been awake. Prof. John Greoeger, of Surrey University“s Sleep Research Centre, said, “People have been trying for years to find out what the purpose of sl
