Then, mark your answer by blackening the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet.20 Toronto: A 300-pound adult Siberian tiger esca
8、ped from its four-meter high chain-link pen(圈)at the Toronto Zoo yesterday, on one of the busiest days of the year.Though no one was hurt, the dangerous animal was separated from the public for a time by nothing more than a four-foot fence. The escape occurred after one of the animal s handlers left
9、 the pen gate open. It prompted a swift response from officials. Staff were sent immediately to arrest the run-away tiger.General Manager Calvin White told reporters that staff were preparing for the worst. “ I ordered a tranquilizer(麻醉剂 )gun so we would have tranquilized her, but thankfully we didn
10、t have to, “ Mr. White said. The tiger was successfully led back into its cage after the brief escape.The incident occurred during the Toronto Zoos 28th annual Christmas Treats Walk, where admission is free in return for donations of food that does not easily go bad.Thousands of people attend each B
11、oxing Day to see the animals fed by their handlers.21 The tiger escape happened_.（A）due to the large number of the visiter（B） due to its long for freedom（C） because of the handlers neglect of duty（D）as a result of the damaged chain and fence22 Who is Calvin White?（A）A managerial staff at the Zoo.（B）
12、 A journalist from National post.（C） A visitor to the zoo.（D）The person who make the animal escape.23 Which of the following is RIGHT?（A）The tiger escape lasted a whole day.（B） The zoo workers planned to shoot the tiger dead.（C） The tiger wasn t kept securely enough for the public.（D）The incident to
13、ok place on the zoo s anniversary day.24 The best title for the news report is_.（A）PenAnimal Prison（B） Zoo TigerWandering Free（C） Siberian TigerDangerous Animal（D）Zoo Dangerous Site24 Some years ago industries had more freedom than they have now, and they did not need to be as careful as they must t
14、oday. They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed. They did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people who worked for them. Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them: often conditions in the work place had
15、very bad effects on the health of the workers.Of course sometimes there were real disasters which attracted the attention of governments and which showed need for changes. Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information which governments could not ig
16、nore. At such times, there were inquiries into the causes of the disaster or the problems. New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries: however, the new rule: came too late to protect the people who died or who became seriously ill.Today many governments have special depart
17、ments which protect customers and workers. In the U. S. , for example, there is a department which tests new airplanes and gives warnings about possible problems. It also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow. Another department controls the foods and drugs that companies sell. A third
18、 department looks at the places where people work, and then reports any companies that are breaking laws which protect the health and safety of workers. Of course, new government departments and new laws cannot prevent every accident or illness, but they are having some good results. Our work places
19、 are safer and cleaner than before. The planes and cars which we use for travel are better. Producers are thinking more about the safety and health of the people who buy and use their products.25 The main topic of the passage is _.（A）conditions in the work place（B） the safety of the product（C） chang
20、es in industrial production（D）the safety and health of workers and customers26 It can be inferred from the passage that in the past _.（A）workers often got ill because of the poor working conditions（B） companies were free to put out any products they wanted to（C） many people were killed by the danger
21、ous products（D）industries were not as careful in management as they are today27 It is implied in the passage that_.（A）governments and companies had different opinions about the safety of products（B） governments usually make policies for the industry（C） what the scientists said is often right（D）in th
22、e past no safety laws were introduced by governments28 Some years ago safety rules _.（A）were put forward due to scientists recommendations（B） came into being as a result of the workers demand（C） were introduced because quite a number of people were killed or seriously injured（D）were effective enough
23、 to protect workers and customers28 “When one of the doctors criticizes(批评)me, I get defensive. I feel like a child again, being scolded, and I want to explain that Im not wrong, “ says Viola, a nurse. This is a common reaction(反应)to criticism, but not a good one. There are better ways of dealing wi
24、th criticism.Try to be objective(客观的). When Sol was criticized by his new employer for not having made a sale, Sols reaction was to feel sorry for himself. “I had put everything I had into making that sale, “ Sol says. “And I felt that I had failed as a person. I had to learn through experience not
25、to react like that to each failure.Take time to cool down. Rather than react at once to criticism, take some time to think over what was said. Your first question should be whether the criticism is fair from the other persons position. The problem may be a simple misunderstanding of what you did or
26、your reasons for doing it.Take positive(积极的)action. After you cool down, consider what you can do about the situation. The best answer may be “nothing“. “I finally realized that my boss was having personal problems and taking them out on me because I was there, “ says Sheila. “ His criticisms didnt
27、really have anything to do with my work, so nothing I said or did was going to change them. In Sheilas case, the best way to deal with it was to leave her job. However, thats an extreme(极端的)reaction.You may simply explain your opinion without expecting an in-depth(深入的)discussion. You may even decide
28、 that the battle isnt worth fighting this time. The key, in any case, is to have a reasonable plan.29 When Sol was criticized by his employer, he_.（A）argued bitterly with his employer（B） thought he was not wrong（C） was sorry for what he did（D）was sad and self-pitying30 According to the writer, you s
29、hould take time to think about criticism because_.（A）people may have a mistaken idea of what you did（B） you should take time to explain yourself（C） people may discuss it with you in depth（D）you need time to understand yourself31 When the writer says that “the best answer may be nothing “ , he means
30、you may decide_.（A）to take no notice of the criticism（B） to give up your opinion（C） you need to change your job（D）youve done nothing wrong32 The writer thinks Sheila can decide to leave her job because her boss_.（A）often blame her（B） refused to change his opinion（C） made an unreasonable criticism（D）
31、refused to talk to her about the criticism32 In ancient times wealth was measured and exchanged in things that could be touched: food, tools, and precious metals and stones. Then the barter system was replaced by coins, which still had real value since they were pieces of rare metal. Coins were foll
32、owed by fiat money, paper notes that have value only because everyone agrees to accept them.Today electronic monetary systems are gradually being introduced that will transform money into even less tangible forms, reducing it to a series of “bits and bytes“ , or units of computerized information, go
33、ing between machines at the speed of light. Already, electronic fund transfer allows money to be instantly sent and received by different banks, companies, and countries through computers and telecommunications devices.33 According to the passage, which of the following was the earliest kind of exch
34、ange of wealth?（A）Bartered goods.（B） Gold.（C） Coin curreney.（D）Writing Promission.34 The author mentions food, tools and precious metals and stones together because they are all_.（A）necessary items（B） expensive things（C） difficult things to obtain（D）material objects35 According to the passage, coins
35、 once had real value as currency because they_.（A）represented a great improvement over barter（B） can be easily taken（C） were made of precious metals（D）could be essily got36 Which of the following statements about computerized monetary systems is NOT supported by the passage?（A）They promote internati
36、onal trade.（B） They allow very rapid money transfers.（C） They are still limited to small transactions(交易 ).（D）They are dependent on good telecommunications systems.36 Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them: ou
37、r purpose is to prepare them for life. As soon as we realize this fact, we will understand that it is very important to choose a system of education which will really prepare children for life. It is not enough just to choose the first system of education one finds, or to continue with ones old syst
38、em of education without examining it to see whether it is in fact suitable or not.In many modern countries, it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for allwhether rich or poor, clever or stupidone can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we
39、can already see that free education for all is not enough: we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees than there are jobs for them to fill. Because of their degrees, they refuse to do what they consider “low“ work: and, in fact, work with the hands is thought to
40、be dirty and shameful in such countries.But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor. We can live without education, but we will die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbi
41、sh away from our houses, we would have terrible diseases in our towns. In countries where there are no servants because everyone is ashamed to do such work, scientists have to waste much of their time doing housework.In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to prepare for life, it means
42、that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever job is suited to his brain and ability, and secondly, we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and it is very bad to be ashame of ones work, or to scorn someone elses. Only such a type of education can be
43、called valuable to society.37 Education is_.（A）culture（B） a means（C） life（D）an end38 In many modern countries, children go to school_.（A）by free education（B） to get a good job（C） to work for society（D）to rid themselves of“low“ work39 In our country, the educational purpose is_.（A）to offer children a
44、 good job（B） to prepare children for life（C） to get everyone to live happily（D）to choose a system of education40 Cleaners and farmers do_scientists do.（A）the same work as（B） less important work than（C） more work than（D）as important work as四、Part IV ClozeDirections: There are some blanks in the follo
