四、Reading Comprehension（共 4 道试题，共 40 分。） 1. A: What was your very first job?
B: When I left school, I sold double-glazing and I hated it. Finally, one of my customers lost her job
because her child was very sick and she couldn't go to work. The family had no money, so they
wanted to cancel the contract. My boss sued the customer. I thought it was awful that the company
only cared about money, so I resigned.
A: Why did you become a journalist?
B: I went to a local newspaper and asked for a job. The editor said, \
walked out of the office and by chance saw three police cars and an ambulance racing down the
road. I followed them and saw a big accident. At that moment another car raced round the corner,
ran over the two casualties and hit the police car which was stopping the traffic. I wrote the story
\
As a journalist the worst thing was that you were always looking for terrible things so that you could
report them.
A: Why did you give up journalism to sail full-time?
B: When I was in Moscow before the fall of Gorbachev, I listened to journalists who were excited about
the changes in Russia, and I knew it was time to give up. What I hated most was their excitement – I
was bored.
Anyway, shortly before that, I had started going out with another keen sailor. I was 45 years old. She
was much younger and we decided to sail off into the sunset.
A: Why did you start child minding?
B: After many long sea adventures and after our first child was born, I didn't want to go back to a proper
job. What I like most is that I am with our children all day, so I started looking after other children
whose parents went out to work.
A: Is it hard work?
B: Not too hard. The best thing is that the children usually amuse each other. Sometimes it's as chaotic
as war reporting! What I enjoy most is at 7.30 in the evening, the children go to bed and my wife and
I have a large glass of wine.
It doesn't matter that we hardly ever leave the village now. The most important thing for me is that I
am with my family and that I can watch my children grow up. 1). Why did he (the second speaker) give up his first job?

2. Benjamin Disraeli, the famous nineteenth century prime minister, said, \
nation.\ world.
Certainly, London is the most culturally diverse city in the world. The city was founded by the Romans
and since then new arrivals have constantly added to its character and prosperity.
Within 10 years 40% of Londoners will be from ethnic minority groups, including the growing number of
Londoners of mixed ethnic origin, but most of them will have been born in Britain. Children of
Caribbean-Chinese marriages will go to school with children of Russian-Irish couples. None of them will
be English but all of them will be Londoners.
Most of Britain's ethnic minority residents live in the capital, speaking over 300 languages. Nearly all of
the African population and many of the Caribbean population of Britain live in London (83% and 58%
respectively); 39% of the Chinese population of Britain and 36% of the Asian population of Britain live
in London. The largest migrant community is from the Irish Republic with 256,000 people, 3.8% of the
total population of London.
There are an estimated 330,000 refugees and asylum seekers living in London, with most recent arrivals
coming from Eastern Europe, North Africa and Kurdistan.
Young people, in particular, are skilled at dealing with a large number of different and hybrid cultures.
They themselves often have several different ethnic identities since their parents and grandparents may
come from several different backgrounds and their friends and partners do also. They are \
cross-cultural travellers\

3. The entertainment profession, or \
very
few can hope to become famous and rich. Talent is not enough, because show business is as
competitive as any other business. Without a good manager, a performer can never hope to succeed.
Fashion is important in this business, too. The best tailor in this world will never be a success if he
makes old-fashioned clothes. In exactly the same way, a performer must change his act in order to follow
the taste of the moment. This is true for all performers: actors, dancers and perhaps most of all, for singers.
\
give the public what they already want, or he must find a new way of singing that will attract their
attention. Even when he has succeeded, and his CDs are sold everywhere, he cannot relax. Then he
must work harder than ever to stay popular, because there are always younger singers trying to become
famous and to steal some of the popularity.
The life of a successful pop singer is not at all easy. He can only relax when he is alone, because
everything he does is watched and reported in a special newspaper written for the fans. The fans are
the most important people in the world for the singer. They buy his CDs or VCDs. They go to his
concerts, and watch his MTV. And it is they who make the singer rich and famous. But they can be very
annoying too. Sometimes their enthusiasm gets so wild and mad that they do anything to attract
attention and their behavior is as uncontrolled as possible. They shout and cry very loudly during the
performance. In order to get a \手帕),
his T shirts, his toothbrush. They sometimes tear off buttons from the singer's clothes, and they even
cut off pieces of the unfortunate singer's hair. Many singers have been forced to hide, and some who
have not been so lucky as to escape have almost nothing on at the end of their performance with almost
everything taken away.
A pop singer has to spend a lot of money on clothes, because he must always look smart, or at any rate,
different. He must have a luxurious car. And most important – he must always keep smiling for the
benefit of his public. To keep his image young in his fan's mind, he is not allowed to grow old. 1). What is not mentioned as the important thing to be a success in the entertainment profession

4. In the United States, 30 percent of the grown-up population has a “weight problem.” To many people,
the cause is clear: we eat too much. But scientific experiments do little to support this idea. Going
back to the America of 1910, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food. In
those days people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less, and didn't watch
television.
Several modern studies, besides, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on average than
thinner people. In fact, some research work, such as the 1979 study of 3,545 London office workers,
reports that fat people eat less than thinner people on average. Studies show that thin people are
more active than fat people. A study by the research group at Standford University School of
Medicine
found the following fact: the more the man ran, the greater body fat he lost. The more he ran, the greater
was his need for food. Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.
1). What kind of physical problem do many grown-up Americans have?
A. They are too thin. B. They work too hard. C. They are too fat.
D. They lose too much body fat. 正确答案：C 满分：2 得分：2

3). Are there scientific facts to support that eating too much is the cause of the \
A. Yes, there are plenty of them.
B. Of course, there are facts to show this is true. C. There are hardly any scientific facts to support this. D. We don't know because the information is not given. 正确答案：C 满分：2 得分：2
4). Compared with the grown-up Americans today, The Americans of 1910 ____________.
A. ate more food and had more physical activities B. ate less food but had more activities C. ate less food and had less physical activities D. had more weight problems 正确答案：A 满分：2 得分：2
5). What have some modern medical and scientific researchers reported to us?

五、Writing（共 1 道试题，共 15 分。根据所给提示写篇短文。（本题15分）） 1. China has stepped into an aging society（中国步入老龄社会）
According to traditional Chinese moral values（按照中国传统价值观念）
the family plan has been carrying out for many years（计划生育制度施行多年）

Help For Elderly People
It is reported that China has stepped into an aging society. As the aging of the population quickens, the number of elderly people is becoming very large. Therefore, it is necessary to find good ways to deal with the problem.??According to traditional Chinese moral values, it is the sons or daughters who should take the responsibility of caring for their elderly parents. The youth should not only look after their elderly parents in material terms but also understand their loneliness and do their best to spend more time with them. ??But because the family plan has been carried out for many years in China, it is a common picture that a young couple has to support four elderly parents. This trend will reach its peak in coming years. The government is responsible for guaranteeing the basic living standards of the elderly and safeguard their legitimate rights and interests and establish a multi-level old-age insurance system.满分：15 得分：未判分 总体评价：
