Answer

15、 the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. (40 points)31 I dont know if theres something in the water, but my town has exploded with tons of single people! Just last year, practically the only eligibles I knew were my divorced friend Patti, my bud Fulgencio, hubby Ricks barfly pat Crai

16、g, and Jimmy the pizza delivery guy. But now, I find out that my cousin Michelle is leaving her second husband, and a recent chit-chat with my buildings manager Sandy revealed that she hasnt had a serious relationship in almost five years! Besides that, at least five suspected singletons have moved

17、into my building since June. Five!For an incurable romantic like me, this is heartbreaking. People are meant to have sweeties! I feel so sorry for single people. How can they bear going through life alone? I know a lot of them put up that “independent“ front, or use that “Im just waiting for the rig

18、ht person“ defense, but theyre kidding themselves. Why would anyone turn up her nose at the prospect of a beautiful wedding, a gorgeous bridal gown, and a stunning rock on her finger? She wouldnt. Why would anyone shake a stick at a warm dinner every night, a comfortable home, and a beautiful bride?

19、 It just isnt rational. And I dont like to be harsh, but frankly, its depressing to see singles out in public. When I see a girl shopping for groceries by herself, or a solitary guy reading while he waits for a bus, I cant help but sense the hollowness that single person feels inside. Im partially p

20、sychic, so Im aware of other peoples inner feelings.Well, this Valentines Day, Im not going to be selfish. People like me, people in successful, lasting relationships, are duty-bound to share their romantic wisdom with the less fortunate. Granted, its been a while since Ive been on the dating Scene,

21、 so my chops are a bit rusty. In fact, hubby Rick is just about the only guy Ive ever dated (Unless you count my pick for the Sadie Hawkins dance in seventh grade, Jordy DeVoe, who ditched me after about 15 minutes. Or this Oriental kid named Thant who wrapped love notes around lunchroom cookies and

22、 slipped them into my locker in ninth grade.) But Rick and I have been married nearly 20 years, so I must be doing something right. Dry those tears, Singletons! Pull your-selves together and listen to Wifey Jean. If you follow my advice, Ill bet you dollars to donuts that youll find your Prince Char

23、ming, or Princess Enchanting, in no time!31 What does the author mean by “I dont know if there is something in the water“ (Line 1. Paragraph 1)?（A）She is not sure whether her water is too dirty to drink.（B） She is not sure whether something is wrong in the water system.（C） She is not sure why being

24、single is so pervasive in her town.（D）She is not sure why single people move to her town.32 The examples of her cousin Michelle and the buildings manager are used to show _.（A）many people choose divorce to solve their emotional problems.（B） women are not satisfied with their marriage:（C） many people

25、 are not confident in serious relationships.（D）more people are becoming loveless singles.33 What does the author think of those single people?（A）They are using excuses to cheat themselves.（B） They should be sorry for being single.（C） They dont like weddings, because they are expensive.（D）They reject

26、 staying in a comfortable home with a beautiful bride.34 Why does the author want to share her “romantic wisdom“ with the singletons?（A）She wants to give it to the singletons as a Valentine Gift.（B） She thinks it is her responsibility to help them.（C） She feels that she has been very selfish before.

27、（D）She wants to revive her feelings of dating a long time ago.35 From the text we can tell that the author is a very _ person.（A）hospitable and kind（B） clever and faithful（C） sensitive and caring（D）unselfish and tactful35 When the American economy was running full tilt two years ago, few places were

28、 as breathlessly delighted as Seattle. Its port was thronged with ships bringing goods from Asia. The Boeing Company could barely keep up with demand for its airliners. Microsoft was hiring hordes of software engineers. After each rain shower, another Internet millionaire sprang up. Here was a city

29、that had it all old economy, new economy, not-yet-invented economy.Now it has all gone sour. The past 12 months have been a non-stop succession of disappointments. Boeings headquarters decamped to Chicago. The Internet economy popped alike a balloon in a nail factory, taking with it once promising l

30、ocal ventures such as H and leaving cant-possibly-miss companies such as D barely hanging on. And an already troubled Boeing was hit even harder after September 11th both by a steep drop in airliner orders and by losing a $ 200 billion Joint Strike Fighter contract to Lockheed Martin.Washington Stat

31、e, battered by what is happening in Seattle, now has the highest unemployment rate in the United States 6.6% compared with 5.4% in the country as a whole. Right behind it is next-door Oregon, another former boom state, with 6.5% of its workforce out of a job, the countrys second worst figure. In Ore

32、gon, manufacturings collapse has caused the loss of nearly 30,000 jobs in a year, those hit range from Freightliner, a maker of heavy lorries, to high-tech companies such as Intel and Fujitsu.What makes the current plunge so painful is that every part of the economy seems to have stepped into an ope

33、n manhole at the same time. Three years ago, when Boeing began to remove more than 20,000 people that Boeing expects to lay off by the middle of 2002 have to compete with unemployed workers not just from the high-tech industry but from construction work and even the retail sector. Portland now has m

34、ore jobless than the other parts of Oregon: the opposite of how things were years ago.Even worse, the Pacific northwests downturn, as well as being deeper than the rest of the country, may also last longer. One reason for fearing this is Boeings continuing woes. Nowadays Boeing accounts for less tha

35、n 5% of employment in the Seattle area, down from 9% two decades ago. But it remains the foundation on which the rest is built. Its network of suppliers and subcontractors gives it a far stronger multiplier effect than, say, Microsoft, which is more an island of prosperity than a center of web. The

36、chances are that Boeing will not really bounce back until the assumed revival in air travel persuades airline companies to start buying plenty of aircraft again. And that may not be until 2003.36 The sentence “After each rain shower, another Internet millionaire sprang up“(Paragraph 1)means_.（A）many

37、 people get rich quickly and easily with the New Economy（B） it takes only the time between showers for someone to become boss（C） Seattles development is sudden like rain showers（D）Seattle has as many business millionaires as its rain showers37 What can be inferred in the passage concerning Boeing?（A

38、）Its headquarter has been moved from Chicago to Seattle.（B） Its to be blamed for the economic depression in Washington.（C） Boeing itself is having a hard time.（D）Its expected to have a revival in the year 2003.38 What does the passage imply about “H“ and “D“?（A）They are neither promising companies.（

39、B） They are affiliated to large companies.（C） They are dealing in medical products.（D）They are also affected by the economic crisis.39 What is special about this economic downturn in Seattle?（A）All sectors have entered recession at the same time.（B） The lay-off workers have found jobs elsewhere.（C）

40、The Old Economy is hit harder than other economies.（D）The low employment rate will last longer than in Oregon.40 We can learn from the last paragraph that_.（A）Microsoft has a strong multiplier effect on the economy（B） Boeing is crucial for the survival of other companies（C） Seattle areas employment

41、rate has fallen considerably（D）the economic foundation of Seattle is Boeings continuing prosperity41 After their 20-year-old son hanged himself during his winter break from the University of Arizona five years ago, Donna and Phil Satow wondered what signs they had overlooked, and started asking othe

42、r students for answers.What grew from this soul searching was Ulifeline (www.ulifeline.org), a website where students can get answers to questions about depression by logging on through their universities. The site has been adopted as a resource by over 120 colleges, which can customize it with loca

43、l information, and over 1.3 million students have logged on with their college IDs.“Its a very solid website that raises awareness of suicide, de-stigmatizes mental illness and encourages people to seek the help they need“, said Paul Grayson, the director of counseling services at New York Universit

44、y, which started using the service nearly a year ago.The main component of the website is the Self-E-Valuator, a self-screening program developed by Duke University Medical Center that tests students to determine whether they are at risk for depression, suicide and disorders like anorexia and drug d

45、ependence. Besides helping students, the service compiles anonymous student data, offering administrators an important window onto the mental health of its campus.The site provides university users with links to local mental health services, a catalog of information on prescription drugs and side ef

46、fects, and access to Go Ask Alice, a vast archive developed by Columbia University with hundreds of responses to anonymously posted inquiries from college students worldwide. For students concerned about their friends, there is a section that describes warning signs for suicidal behavior and depress

47、ion.Yet it is hard to determine how effective the service is. The anonymity of the online service can even play out as a negative. “There is no substitute for personal interaction(个人互动才能解决)“, said Dr. Lanny Berman, executive director of the American Association of Suicidology, based in Washington.Ul

48、ifeline would be the first to say that its service is no replacement for an actual therapist. “The purpose is to find out if there are signs of depression and then direct people to the right places“, said Ron Gibori, executive director of Ulifeline. Mrs. Satow, who is still involved with Ulifeline,

49、called it “a knowledge base“ that might have prevented the death of her son, Jed. “If Jeds friends had known the signs of depression, they might have seen something“, she said.41 The first paragraph is written to _.（A）report the suicide of a young man（B） show the suffering of Mr. and Mrs. Satow（C） describe the Sa
