13、h the roof. The wooden staircase burned out, _22_ (trap) all those inside and forcing many to jump out of the windows _23_ (escape) the flames, local fire chief Peter Friedrich told reporters.“The staircase was nothing _24_ a pile of ashes. People were escaping _25_ the windows even before we arrive

14、d at the scene. Adults jumped out of the windows and threw children out to save their lives,” Friedrich said. “Eight people died in the flames, while the ninth passed away in hospital. 60 people were rescued from the building and 35 were rushed to hospital. Three people were in a serious condition b

15、ut their lives were not in danger. _26_ was a child who had suffered smoke inhalation（吸入）and the other two adults who _27_ (injure) when they leapt from the _28_ (burn) building.”Friedrich said among those _29_ (rescue) were two children _30_ were found cowering （蜷缩）behind a couch in a flame-filled

16、room. Television news showed images of one of _31_ in blackened clothes being taken out of the apartment building.

19、 advertiser could work out. You can print a specific offer of your goods or service on door-hangers and place them on doorknobs in your area. Door-hangers on doorknobs will produce results in direct _34_about the strength of your offer. If you need to reach the drivers, flyer (宣传单) under windshield

20、(挡风玻璃) wipers may have better effect than door-hangers.

22、lide projector to put on a nighttime show. Theyre _37_effective, and in the long run, cheap. Nothing is quite as powerful as a public performancethat seizes the publics attention. You can _38_ a band to give a performance. Moreover, you can hire famous models to show it _39_.Nothing screams “expert”

23、 quite as loudly as a book written about a subject. You simply cant imaginethe power of your name on the cover of a book. You might only sell a few copies online, but the copies you give away in your town will make you a fortune. You wont make money on the book. Youll make it because of the book.Of

24、course, word-of-mouth is the best way to _40_ your business. Friends and past customers recommend your products to their family, friends and _41_.

When it comes to strong

26、emotion, the once _43_ British are now happy to cry quite openly. Thirty percent of all British males have cried in the last month. That is a very high figure, said Peter Marsh, director of the Social Issues Research Center. Only two percent said they could not remember when then they last cried, th

27、e head of the research group said. Long gone is the No _44_ - Were British time when emotion was considered a _45_ form. Among 2,000 people, very few people in their forties or fifties had seen their _46_ cry. Now it is twice as many, he told reporters. Seventy-seven percent of men considered crying

28、 in public increasingly _47_. Almost half the British men opened the floodgates over a bad movie, book or TV program. Self-pity got 17 percent crying. Nine percent cried at weddings. Form the days of Empire, the British have always considered themselves models of reserve（矜持）, _48_ excitable foreigne

29、rs who show no _49_.Marsh argued the _50_ was still there: We have probably not caught up with the Americans or the Italians when it comes to the actual display of emotions But we are clearly _51_. What we take as typical British reserve has been significantly disappeared. Womens battle for equal ri

30、ghts has certainly had an effect - both in the workplace and at home. Men in their twenties or thirties are interacting with women on equal terms much more so than a generation ago. They have to relate to the opposite sex .Women become more man -like and men become more female. That transfers into t

31、he _52_ too, Marsh said.43. A. helplessB. coolC. seriousD. speechless44. A. TearsB. SmokingC. ExcitementD. Doubt45. A. commonB. preferredC. badD. crazy46.

33、is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)One day, Anna was about to walk into her office, when the headmaster, Mr. Hen

34、ry stopped her.“Now,” he said, “I want you to tell me the truth, my dear.” “Naturally,” said Anna shortly, fearing that something terrible had happened. “I have had a most serious accusation（控告）made against you by Mrs. Bond.” “Mrs. Bond?” said Anna, not understanding. Janet Bond was a quiet, little

35、mouse of a child. As far as Anna could remember，she had never had cause to speak an angry word to the girl. “Mrs. Bond,” went on Mr. Henry, “tells me that you scolded her daughter yesterday afternoon.” “Scolded?” cried Anna. “I dont scold. At least not in school,” she added honestly. “Mrs. Bonds sto

36、ry is that Janet was a little late back to school in the afternoon. She said that the child had to spend some time in the bathroom, which meant she set out from home a little late.” “Just a minute,” said Anna, beginning to understand. “She did come late, very late. I had marked her absent, of course

37、. Then she wandered in, when wed started our paper-cutting, and I believe I said she was a nuisance（讨厌的人）. She didnt appear to hear, and was certainly quite cheerful.” “Ah, a nuisance.” Mr. Henry jumped on the word. “Youre sure you only said a nuisance.” “I may not even have said that,” Anna replied

38、. “It was no more than slight displeasure that I felt and I certainly didnt scold.”? “Mrs. Bond said that you called her child a blasted（该死的）nuisance. Is that true?”“Indeed it isnt,” said Anna, “The child or the mother has made it up!” Mr. Henry was satisfied with Annas explanation. “Just as I thoug

39、ht, my dear, but of course I had to make sure.”53. When Mr. Henry stopped Anna, he_.A.wanted to tell her a true story B. thought she had done something wrongC. had made up his mind to scold her D. made her feel worried at first54.

Mr. Henry considered Anna a_teacher.A. carelessB. c

41、ruel C. trustworthy D.bad(B)When I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mothers Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to und

42、erstand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her. My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she. I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I

43、 had to call her stockbroker. I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs. Tan.”And my mother was standing beside me, whispering loudly, “Why he dont send me check, already two week late.” And then, in perfect English I said: “Im getting rather concerned. You agreed to s

44、end the check two weeks ago, but it hasnt arrived.”Then she talked more loudly. “What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I cant tolerate any more excuse. If I dont receive the check immediately, I am going to have to speak to your mana

45、ger when I am in New York next week.”The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs. Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.When I was a teenager, my mothers broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my moth

46、ers English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.57. Why was the authors mother poorly

47、served?A. She was unable to speak good English.B. She was often misunderstood.C. She was not clearly heard.D. She was not very polite.58. From Paragraph 2, we know that the author was _.A. good at pretendingB. rude to the stockbrokerC. ready to help her motherD. unwilling to phone for her mother59.

48、After the author made the phone call, _.A. they forgave the stockbrokerB. they failed to get the checkC. they went to New York immediatelyD. they spoke to their boss at once60. What does the author think of her mothers English now?A. It confuses her.B. It embarrasses her.C. It helps her understand t

49、he world.D. It helps her tolerate rude people.61. We can infer from the passage that Chinese English _.A. is clear and natural to non-native speakersB. is vivid and direct to non-native speakersC. has a very bad reputation in AmericaD. may bring inconvenience in America(C)Individuals should pay for

50、their higher education.A university education is of huge and direct benefit to the individual. Graduates earn more than non-graduates. Meanwhile, social mobility is ever more dependent on having a degree. However, only some people have it. So the individual, not the taxpayers, should pay for it. The

51、re are pressing calls on the resources of the government. Using taxpayers money to help a small number of people to earn high incomes in the future is not one of them. Full government funding is not very good for universities. Adam Smith worked in a Scottish university whose teachers lived off stude

52、nt fees. He knew and looked down upon 18th-century Oxford, where the academics lived comfortably off the income received from the government. Guaranteed salaries, Smith argued, were the enemy of hard work; and when the academics were lazy and incompetent, the students were similarly lazy. If student

53、s have to pay for their education, they not only work harder, but also demand more from their teachers. And their teachers have to keep them satisfied. If that means taking teaching seriously, and giving less time to their own research interests, that is surely something to celebrate. Many people be

54、lieve that higher education should be free because it is good for the economy. Many graduates clearly do contribute to national wealth, but so do all the businesses that invest and create jobs. If you believe that the government should pay for higher education because graduates are economically prod

55、uctive, you should also believe that the government should pay part of business costs. Anyone promising to create jobs should receive a gift of capital from the government to invest. Therefore, it is the individual, not the government, who should pay for their university education.62. The author thi

56、nks that with full government funding _. A. teachers are less satisfiedB. students are more demanding C. students will become more competentD. teachers will spend less time on teaching63. The author mentions businesses in Paragraph 5 in order to _. A. argue against free university education B. call

57、on them to finance students studies C. encourage graduates to go into business D. show their contribution to higher education64. What is the best title for this text? A. the value of higher educationB. the cost of higher education C. the role of universitiesD. the importance of universities第II卷 （共30
