17、week I went to an exhibition at the Tale Gallery in London. Im not really a great _36_ lover but Id read some _37_ reviews of the exhibition in both Time Out and the Sunday Times which made me very keen to see it. I _38_ some time before it was due to _39_ but there were already plenty of people wai

18、ting _40_ for the doors to open. Most of the people waiting were young; _41_ in fact there didnt seem to be any middle-aged people there _42_. All of them were waiting _43_ and I _44_ them in the queue. In the end we were allowed to enter. Now, I must be _45_ and say that the exhibition was disappoi

19、nting to me. Although I spent a lot of time looking _46_ at each picture, I had some difficulty in understanding what the _47_ was getting at. Finally, as I was looking rather stupidly at one of the paintings and trying to_48_ if it was the right way up or not, an old gentleman came up behind me and

20、 started to _49_ the whole thing to me. He _50_ answered all of my questions and we talked for over an hour. Then he said he had an appointment and had to go, _51_ we shook hands and said goodbye. I went round the gallery once more and I found that I now _52_ everything much better and some of the p

25、ty - a customer. The more I go into shops and hotels, banks and post offices, railway stations, airports and the like, the more Im convinced that things are being run solely to suit the firm, the system, or the union. There seems to be a harmful new motto for socalled “service” organizations - Staff

26、 Before Service.How often, for example, have you queued for what seems like hours at the post office or the supermarket because there werent enough staff on duty to man all the service grilles (栅门) of checkout counters? Surely in these days of high unemployment it must be possible to recruit cashier

27、s and counter staff. Yet supermarkets, hinting darkly at higher prices, claim that enshrouding all their cash registers at any one time would increase overheads. And the Post Office says we cannot expect all their service grilles to be occupied “at times when demand is low.”Its the same with hotels.

28、 Because waiters and kitchen staff must finish when it suits them, dining rooms close earlier or menu choice is curtailed. As for us guests, we just have to put up with it. Theres also the nonsense of so many so friendly hotel night porters having been dismissed in the interests of “efficiency” and

29、replaced by coin guzzling machines. Not to mention the coldness of the teamaking kit in your room: a kettle with an assortment of teabags, plastic milk cartons and lump sugar. Who wants to wake up to a raw teabag? I dont, especially when I am paying for “service”.56. The writer feels that nowadays a

30、 customer is _. A. one who is well served B. unworthy of proper considerationC. classified by society as inferior D. the victim of modern service57. In the writers opinion, the quality of service is changing because _.A. the customers demands have changedB. the organizations receive more considerati

31、on than the customersC. the customers needs have increasedD. the staff are less considerate than their employers58. According to the writer, long queues at counters are caused by _.A. difficulties in recruiting staff B. inadequate staffing arrangementsC. staff being made lazy D. lack of cooperation

32、between the staff59. The disappearance of oldstyle hotel porters can be attributed to the fact that _.A. few people are willing to do this type of workB. machines are more reliable than human beings C. the personal touch is less appreciated nowadaysD. automation has provided cheaper alternativesBBac

33、k in the old days, when I was a child, we sat around the family roundtable at dinnertime and exchanged our daily experiences. It wasnt very organized, but everyone was recognized, and all the news that had to be told was told by each family member.We listened to each other and the interest was not p

34、uton; it was real. Our family was a unit and we supported each other, and nurtured each other, and liked each other, and - we were even willing to admit - we loved each other.Today, the family roundtable has moved to the local fastfood restaurant and talk is not easy, much less encouraged.Grandma, w

35、ho used to live upstairs, is now the voice on long distance, and the working parent is far too beaten down each day to spend evening relaxation time listening to the sandbox experience of an eager fouryearold.So family conversation is as extinct as my old toys and parental questions such as “What ha

36、ve you been doing, Bobby?” have been replaced by “Im busy, go watch television.” And watch TV they do; count them by the millions.But its usually not childrens television that children watch. Saturday morning, the childrens hour, amounts to only about 8 percent of their weekly viewing.Where are they

37、 to be found? Watching adult television, of course, from the Match Game in the morning, to the afternoon at General Hospital, from the muggings and battles on the evening news right through the family hour and past into Starsky and Hutch. Thats where you find our kids, over five million of them, at

38、10 p.m., not fewer than a million until after midnight! All of this is done with parental permission.Television, used well, can provide enriching experiences for our young people, but we must use it with some sense. When the carpet is clean, we turn off the vacuum cleaner. When the dishes are clean,

39、 the dishwasher turns itself off.Not so the television, which is on from the sun in the morning to the moon at night and beyond! Parents must exercise some control and show some concern about the cultural influence on the child when a program not intended for that child is viewed. Parents need to in

40、tervene (干涉) . Nonintervention may be a wise policy in international affairs, but the results of parental nonintervention will not be wise at all. 60. The Working parent is not willing to listen to her (his) fouryearold child talking about his sandbox games because she (he) is _.A. boring B. very ti

41、red C. busy D. angry61. According to the writer, the responsibility for the kids watching adult television and watching it for a long time should be undertaken by _.A. the television stations B. the society C. TV programs D. their parents62. If we use television with some _ television can provide ou

42、r young people with much knowledge.A. instruction of experts B. judgment of our ownC. direction of engineers D. indication of teachersCStudies of the effect that makes many of us slumber or feel sleepy during the Queens Speech on Christmas Day have revealed that changes may be required in Britains d

43、rink drive legislation. Dr James Horne, director of the Sleep Research Laboratory at Southborough University, is investigating post-lunch sleepiness. “We humans are designed to sleep twice a day, once at night and a short nap after lunch, but in this part of the world we tend to repress that.” It is

44、 a remnant of the same primeval programming that makes all animals in the bush rest in the hot afternoon sun to conserve energy. Hot environments make it worse and many cultures living near the equator, says Dr Horne, “have conceded (=given in) to the inevitable, where the afternoon siesta is the wa

45、y of life. In this study Dr Horne has been investigating the role of alcohol. “The theory is that if you are more sleepy after lunch then it figures that alcohol will be more potent after lunch. One would figure then that a pint of beer at lunchtime has more effect than in the evening, when people a

46、re more alert. Indeed, we find that it has about twice the effect. This has more sinister (险恶的) implications. “If people take alcohol up to the legal driving limit, their performance is seriously impaired after lunch. He said. It seems that alcohol interacts with the circadian rhythm of sleep to cau

47、se afternoon sleepiness, so that one pint at lunch time is equivalent, in effect, to a quart in the evening. For this reason, most drivers ought not to drink at all at lunchtime and the legal blood alcohol limit is no guide to safe driving here,” said Dr Horne. For those who wish to enjoy the Queens

48、 speech, Dr Horne recommends mild exercise, a splash of cold air or cold water on the face, or a cup of coffee. Otherwise, take a catnap. But this should be less than 15 minutes, otherwise, sleep really sets in and one can wake up feeling very groggy (头昏眼花的) and far sleepier than to begin with. 63.

49、It is implied that British people _. A. like to take a short nap after lunchB. dont take a short nap after lunch C. dont feel sleepy after lunch D. like to sleep twice a day64. All animals in the bush rest in the hot afternoon sun to _. A. save energy B. stay healthy C. avoid feeling hungry D. gain

50、strength 65. Most drivers ought not to drink at all at lunch time because _. A. alcohol will be less potent after lunch B. a pint of beer at lunchtime is equivalent to a quart in the evening C. people are more alert at lunchtime D. it is not legal to drink at lunchtime66. According to the passage, i

51、f you sleep more than 15 minutes after lunch _. A. you will be refreshed B. you will be waken up C. you will feel far sleepierD. you will take a cat napDIn the early days of nuclear power, the United States make money on it. But today opponents (反对者) have so complicated its development that no nucle

52、ar plants have been ordered or built here in 12 years.The greatest fear of nuclear power opponents has always been a reactor “meltdown”. Today, the chances of a meltdown that would threaten U.S. public health are very little. But to even further reduce the possibility, engineers are testing new reac

53、tors that rely not on human judgment to shut them down but on the laws of nature. Now General Electric is already building two advanced reactors in Japan. But dont expect them even on U.S. shores unless things change in Washington. The procedure for licensing nuclear power plants is a bad dream. Any

54、 time during, or even after, construction, an objection by any group or individual can bring everything to a stop while the matter is investigated or taken to court. Meanwhile, the builder must add nicebutnotnecessary improvements, some of which force him to knock down walls and start over. In every

55、 case when a plant has been opposed, the Nuclear Regulation Commission has ultimately granted a license to construct or operate. But the victory often costs so much that the utility ends up abandoning the plant anyway.A case in point is the Shoreham plant on New Yorks Long Island. Shoreham was a vir

56、tual twin to the Millstone plant in Connecticut, both ordered in the mid-60s. Millstone, completed for 101 million, has been generating electricity for two decades. Shoreham, however, was singled out by antinuclear activists who, by sending in endless protests, drove the cost over $5 billion and del

57、ayed its use for many years.Shoreham finally won its operation license. But the plant has never produced a watt power. Governor Mario Cuomo, an opponent of a Shoreham start-up, used his power to force New Yorks public-utilities commission to accept the following settlement: the power company could p

58、ass the cost of Shoreham along to its consumers only if it agreed not to operate the plant. Today, a perfectly good facility, capable of servicing hundreds of thousands of homes, sits rusting.67. The authors attitude toward the development of nuclear power is _.A. negative B. neutral C. positive D.

59、questioning 68. What has made the procedure for licensing nuclear power plants a bad dream?A. The inefficiency of the Nuclear Regulation Commission.B. The enormous cost of construction and operation.C. The length of time it takes to make investigations.D. The objection of the opponents of nuclear po

60、wer.69. It can be inferred from Paragraph 2 that _.A. there are not enough safety measures in the U.S. for running new nuclear power plantsB. it is not technical difficulties that prevent the building of nuclear power plants in the U.S.C. there are already more nuclear power plants than necessary in

61、 the U.S.D. the American government will not allow Japanese nuclear reactors to be installed in the U.S.70. Governor Mario Cuomos chief intention in proposing the settlement was to _.A. stop the Shoreham plant from going into operationB. urge the power company to further increase its power supplyC.

62、permit the Shoreham plant to operate under certain conditionsD. help the power company to solve its financial problems第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。What Makes Anxiety Happen?Well, because we cant outlaw tests, we might as well figure out how to ease test anxiety.

78、ed the right procedure.At 9:30 when we were having a Chinese class, the fire alarm rang. Without hesitation, we went down the stairs in order as planned. Following our teachers instructions, we moved towards the exits. Three minutes later, all the students came outside the teaching building safely,

79、which is really an experience. I think all the schools should have these kinds of drills so that every student will know what they should do when they meet certain disasters. 第二节 开放作文One possible version:As we can see in the picture, two men are standing side by side, smiling. They share one charact

80、eristic, strong in one arm, while weak in the other. I guess they smile because they find someone who can help them accomplish a task that cannot be completed by either of them alone. Like the two men in the picture, we all have strengths and weaknesses, and what we can do is limited. However, weakn

81、esses dont necessarily mean failure, but may indicate the possibility of cooperation.
