单选题It wasn't until I got to the office this morning that I realized this was Thursday and I had missed our lunch date yesterday.

单选题In many countries in the process of industrialization, overcrowded cities present a major problem. Poor conditions in these cities, such as lack of housing, inadequate sanitation (卫生) and lack of employment, bring about an increase in poverty, disease and crime. The over-population of towns is mainly caused by the drift of large numbers of people from the rural areas. These people have become dissatisfied with the traditional life of farming, and have come to the towns hoping for better work and pay. One possible solution to the problem would be to impose registration on town residents. Only officially registered residents would be allowed to live in the towns and the urban population would thus be limited. In practice, however, registration would be very difficult to enforce (推行); it would cause a great deal of resentment (不满), which would ultimately lead to violence. The only long-term solution is to make life in the rural areas more attractive, which would encourage people to stay there. This could be achieved by providing encouragement for people to go and work in the villages. Facilities in the rural areas, such as transport, health and education services should be improved. Education should include training in improved methods of farming and other rural industries, so as to develop a more positive attitude towards rural life. The improvement of life in the villages is very important, because the towns themselves cannot be developed without the simultaneous or previous development of the rural area.

单选题"But I just paid $1.69 for this bottle of wine last week. How come the price is now $2.25? What"s going on?" There are at least three things going on that have caused the price of wine to rise. All have to do with the supply and demand factors of economics. The first factor is that people are drinking more wine than ever before. This demand for more wine has increased overall (总体) wine sales in America at the rate of 15 percent a year. The second factor is that the supply of wine has stayed relatively the same, which means that the same number of bottles is produced each year. Wine producers are trying to open up new land to grow more grapes (葡萄). But in at least three wine-producing areas of the world—France, Germany, and California—new vineyards (葡萄园) will not be available in the near future. Wines are produced in other countries, such as Italy, Spain and Australia, but none of these countries will be able to fill the demand for good wines. The third factor is that costs of wine productions are increasing. The men who make wine are asking for more money, and the machinery needed to press the grapes is becoming more expensive. When the demand for something is greater than the supply, prices go up. When production costs, meaning the prices of labor and machinery, rise, the producer adds this increase to the price of the wine.

单选题 {{B}}Directions{{/B}}: This part is to test your reading ability. There are 5 tasks for you to fulfil. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the tasks as you are instructed.Task 1 {{B}}Directions{{/B}}: After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A), B), C) and D ). You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre. Interesting as dolphins (海豚) are to scientists, it is their intelligence and sociability that have caught the popular imagination. Like whales, dolphins have a strong sense of family. A dolphin family is like a human family, but much larger. Dolphins seem to be among the most sociable of all living creatures. They enjoy playing with each other and also with the humans, with whom they come in touch. It is this characteristic that makes them so easy to train as star performers. Besides, they seem able to remember humans that they have met even when there is a long period of time between meeting. A sense of family and a spirit of cooperation appear to be very strong among all these marine animals. There are many recorded cases of dolphins supporting a sick animal on the surface of the water so that it will be able to breathe. Language has always been considered unique to human beings. It now seems that the cetaceans (鲸目动物) may be able to communicate with each other through sounds similar to a real language. Scientists are studying the behavior of the cetaceans, the sounds they send out and the physical characteristics of their brains in an effort to determine whether they really have the ability to communicate through language. It may prove that we'll be able to establish real communication with another species for the first time.

单选题Running water has been a very important source of power for thousands of years．

单选题 All of us communicate with one another {{I}}verbally{{/I}} (口头的) as well as non-verbally. Most of the time we are not aware that we're doing it. We wave a hand, meet someone else's eyes or look away, shift positions in a chair. We make these movements unconsciously. But researchers have discovered that there is a system to them almost as {{I}}consistent{{/I}} (一致的) and comprehensible as language. Every culture has its body language. The way an Englishman crosses his legs is nothing like the way a male American does it. In talking, Americans are likely to end a statement with a lowering of the eyelids. They conclude a question with a lift of the hand or a widening of the eyes. With a future-tense verb they often gesture with a forward movement. There are regional idioms too. Your sex, ethnic background, social class and personal style all influence your body language. Nevertheless, you move and gesture within a certain idiom. Usually, the wordless communication acts to qualify the words. What the non-verbal elements express very often, and very efficiently, is the emotional side of the message. When a person feels liked or disliked, often it's a case of "not what he said but the way he said it." Experts in the study of communication through body movement are not prepared to spell out a precise vocabulary of gestures. When an American rubs his nose, it may mean he is disagreeing with someone or rejecting something. But there are other possible interpretations, too. The expert looks for patterns in the context, not for an isolated meaningful gesture.

单选题It is our company culture to make sure that employees know how all the jobs in the company work, not just their own.

单选题Wild Turkey Lore: Wild Turkeys are masters of camouflage and evasion. A large flock of birds will lie quietly within yards of a man passing through the forest, and never be seen. The Wild Turkey is truly a native bird, unique to America. And it is unique symbol of the finest native whiskey in America, Wild Turkey.

单选题Mike found that young birds in isolation could only make some simple sound. Mike learned that a young bird has to hear other old birds' song during the period before it is seven weeks old. Then there is a long time until the next spring before the bird begins to sing. And when it does start, it needs to practice before it finally gets the song right. Further studies have proved that young birds do indeed need musical education. After several of the young birds raised in isolation were put together for about ten months, they learned from one another and finally could sing. The songs they sang, however, were quite different from the wild birds'. On the other hand, the young birds caught after their time was spent listening to the wild birds' songs, knew how to sing.

单选题After the Summer Olympics are over, when all the athletes have gone home and the television audience has switched off, another group of 'athletes and fans will arrive at the host city, and another competition will begin. These are the Paralympics, the games for athletes with a disability. But in Beijing in 2008, for the first time, one of the greatest Paralympics will not be taking part. She is a British athlete by the name of Tanni Grey Thormpson. Born with spine bifida (脊椎裂) which left her paralysed from the waist bone. Tanni used a wheelchair from the age of 7. At first, she was not keen on sport, apart from horse-riding, which gave her a sense of freedom. But in her teens, she started taking sports more seriously. She tried swimming, basketball and tennis. Eventually she found athletics, and never looked back. Indeed, Tanni's athletic career took off. In 1984, when she was 15, she pulled off a surprise victory in the 100 metres at the Junior National Wheelchair Games. In 1998, Tanni went to her first Paralympic Games in Seoul. She won bronze in the 400 metres. Even greater success followed at the 1992 Barcelona Paralympics. Tanni won gold in the 100, 200, 400 and 800 metres relay, setting two world records in the process. In the same year she achieved the first of the six London Wheelchair Marathon victories. Tanni's enduring success had been part motivation (动机), part preparation, "The training I do that enables me to be a good sprinter (短跑运动员) enables me to be good at a marathon, too. I train 50 weeks of the year and that keeps me prepared for whatever distance I want to see I am still competing at a very high level, but as I get older things get harder and I want to retire before I fall apart." Indeed Tanni retired finally after the Visa Paralympic World Cup in 2007. Her wish is to coach young athletes for Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. In spite of ups and downs, she never takes her fate lying down. In her splendid life, she has won an amazing eleven gold medals, four silvers and one bronze in series of Paralympics -- a top level athletic career covering two decades. She has won the London Wheelchair Marathon six times, more than any other competitor, and she has set over thirty world records. What advice does she have for young athletes? "Work hard at your studies, and then train, train and train again./
