    Zhoukoudian is a small village situated about 50 kilometers to the southwest of Beijing. In the 1920s, archaeologists discovered some prehistoric human bones there which changed people’s view of China’s history. They came from an unknown species of man and were the first evidence of human life in China thousands of years ago. The remains were three teeth!
    In 1929, a complete skull was also discovered. Eventually, archaeologist found almost 200 items, including six skulls and more than 150 teeth. These discoveries proved the existence of a human species who lived in the area between 700,000 and 200,000 years ago. Four sites where Beijing Man and his relatives lived were discovered on the northern face of Longgushan. They lived in the caves in the area.
    However, the life span of Beijing Man was short. About 70% of the peole probably died before the age of 14. Fewer than 5% lived to the age of 50. Ashes were found alongside the fossils which showed they had used fire for cooking food and also for light, warmth, and protection against wild animals. This is the earliest evidence of the use of fire anywhere in the world. They also made tools of bones and stones. Unfortunately, when Japan invaded（侵略） China in 1937, excavations（挖掘） at the Beijing Man Site stopped and most of the fossils disappeared, including a Beijing Man skull. After the People’s Republic of China was established in 1949, the work started again.
    Zhoukoudian was listed as a World Heritage Site in December 1987. It has not only given us important information about prehistoric Asian societies, but also provided amazing evidence about the process of evolution. Today, parts of the caves have been badly affected by rain. Some areas are almost completely covered in weeds, causing serious damage. Pollution from the nearby factories has also contributed to the problem. This is a very serious matter and the Chinese Academy of Sciences is trying to raise public awareness of it.
    46. Archaeologists _________________.
    A. thought that Zhoukoudian was a beartiful village
    B. thought that the findings in Zhoukoudian wouldn’t change the history of China
    C. discovered some prehistoric human bounes in Zhoukoudian
    D. thought that the findings in Zhoukoudian are the first evidence of human life in Asia
    47. Beijing Man used fire to do all of the following things EXCEPT _______________.
    A. light in the dark                B. keep warm
    C. make tools                    D. scare wild animals away
    48. Which of the following statements is NOT true?
    A. The digging was delayed by the Japanese invasion in the 1930s.
    B. These ancient Chinese were the first people to use fire in daily life.
    C. Some valuable things excavated from the site are still missing.
    D. The digging of Zhoukoudian is famous and is well-funded（得到很好的资助）.
    49. What’s the main idea of the last paragraph?
    A. The digging of Zhoukoudian is still under way.
    B. Zhoukoudian plays an important part in the study of prehistoric societies.
    C. Zhoukoudian is a World Heritage Site.
    D. Zhoukoudian is in great need of protection.
    50. From the passage, we can infer that ______________.
    A,. the work of excavating the Beijing Man Site has not proceeded（进行） smoothly
    B. Beijing Man had a short life
    C. Beijing Man lived in the caves of Longgushan
    D. arvhaeologists found six complete skulls and more than 150 teeth in 1929.

    Ⅲ 阅读（共两节，满分40分）
    第一节 阅读理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
    阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
    My newly-rented small apartment was far away from the centre of London and it was becoming essential for me to find a job, so finally I spent a whole morning getting to town and putting my name down to be considered by London Transport for a job on the underground. They were looking for guards, not drivers. This suited me. I couldn’t drive a car but thought that I could probably guard a train, and perhaps continue to write my poems between stations. The writers Keats and Chekhov had been doctors. T.S. Eliot had worked in a bank and Wallace Stevens for an insurance company. I’d be a subway guard. I could see myself being cheerful, useful, a good man in a crisis. Obviously I’d be overqualified but I was willing to forget about that in return for a steady income and travel privileges — those being particularly welcome to someone living a long way from the city centre.
    The next day I sat down, with almost a hundred other candidates, for the intelligence test. I must have done all right because after about half an hour’s wait I was sent into another room for a psychological test. This time there were only about fifty candidates. The interviewer sat at a desk. Candidates were signaled forward to occupy the seat opposite him when the previous occupant had been dismissed, after a greater or shorter time. Obviously the long interviews were the more successful ones. Some of the interviews were as short as five minutes. Mine was the only one that lasted a minute and a half.
    I can remember the questions now: “Why did you leave your last job?” “Why did you leave your job before that?” “And the one before that?” I can’t recall my answers, except that they were short at first and grew progressively shorter. His closing statement, I thought, revealed (揭示) a lack of sensitivity which helped to explain why as a psychologist, he had risen no higher than the underground railway. “You’ve failed the psychological test and we are unable to offer you a position.”
    Failing to get that job was my low point. Or so I thought, believing that the work was easy. Actually, such jobs — being a postman is another one I still desire — demand exactly the sort of elementary yet responsible awareness that the habitual dreamer is least qualified to give. But I was still far short of full self-understanding. I was also short of cash.
    41．The writer applied for the job chiefly because _________.
    A．he wanted to work in the centre of London
    B．he could no longer afford to live without one
    C．he was not interested in any other available job
    D．he had received some suitable training
    42．The writer thought he was overqualified for the job because _________.
    A．he often traveled underground       B．he had written many poems
    C．he could deal with difficult situations    D．he had worked in a company
    43．The length of his interview meant that _________.
    A．he was not going to be offered the job
    B．he had not done well in the intelligence test
    C．he did not like the interviewer at all
    D．he had little work experience to talk about
    44．What does the writer realize now that he did not realize then?
    A．How unpleasant ordinary jobs can be.   B．How difficult it is to be a poet.
    C．How unsuitable he was for the job. D．How badly he did in the interview.
    45．What’s the writer’s opinion of the psychologist?
    A. He was very aggressive.   B. He was unhappy with his job.
    C. He was quite inefficient. D. He was rather unsympathetic.

    When many of us take a vacation, more than anything, we seek to relax. We spend long, lazy days on a beach chair or in a hammock(吊床). But too often, we return home, tired.
    It doesn’t have to be this way.
    In fact active vacations are often the most relaxing of all. We don’t expect you to take up jogging(慢跑), or climbing. Rather, we ask the sedentary(久坐的) vacations among you to spend two to four hours a day doing things, such as walking in the city street, going to a zoo or biking along the ocean.
    These kinds of activities aren’t just good for your physical health. They improve your mental health, even your spiritual health. Here are some fresh ideas to make your vacations as pleasurable as they are active and healthy.
    A walk at dawn or dusk helps keep you young. Try to make this a daily habit of life when you’re away from home, and you will guarantee yourself both physical and spiritual refreshment.
    Don’t allow yourself to spend all your time sitting in front of water. Whether it is the ocean, a swimming pool, or a tree-lined lake, make sure you get into the water for swimming or games, or even walking. Merely standing in waist-high water is a good workout, thanks to the action of the water. And you’ll feel so much more active!
    Many of us spend a large chunk of our vacation on the road, either getting to and from our destinations, or using the car for sightseeing. But no matter how beautiful the scenery is, great, memorable vacations don’t happen in a car seat. Frequently get out and stretch, walk, picnic, shop, visit, and have fun. It’s important for your health and energy, and it makes traveling a lot more active and interesting
    小题1: The idea in the text is mainly to _______.
    A．suggest ways to make vacations relaxing
    B．suggest places for relaxing vacations
    C．explain the reasons for having vacations
    D．explain the relationship between vacations and health
    小题2: Which of the following can be considered as a form of exercise?
    A．Sitting by a lake.B．Standing in water.
    C．Staying in a car.D．Enjoying beautiful scenery.
    小题3:In the last paragraph, the author seems to advise us to _______.
    A．have vacations frequentlyB．get out of the car frequently
    C．go on vacations on footD．stay in a car seat

    What does the word “home” mean to you? How do you say the word in English? In Spanish? In your language? Although people usually know what the word means it often has no exact translation. It’s not surprising really, because the idea of home varies from country to country, and from person to person. A home is more than a roof and four walls. It’s the cooking, eating, talking, playing and family living that go on inside, which are important as well. And at home you usually feel safe and relaxed.
    But it’s not just that homes look different in different countries, they also contain different things and reveal（显示）different attitudes（态度） and needs. For example, in cold northern Europe, there’s a fire in the living room or kitchen and all the chairs face it. In the south, where the sun shines a lot and it’s more important to keep the heat out, there are small windows, cool stone floors and often no carpets. We asked some people about their homes.
    How often do people move house in your country?
    “In my country many people don’t stay in one place for a very long time. They often move every ten years or so.”
    — Cheryl, Boston, USA
    What are typical features of homes in your country?
    “In Britain, even in town there’s always a garden and sometimes a basement. We have separate bedrooms and living rooms. But we don’t often have balconies.
    The weather isn’t warm enough!”
    — Pat, Exeter, England
    (   )49. The word “home” has no exact translation because ______.
    A. people can’t find this word in the dictionary
    B. no one really knows what a home looks like
    C. it has different meanings in different countries
    D. people can’t understand each other very well
    (   )50. You can ______ at home according to the passage.
    A. cook, talk, and play games          B. eat, play, and teach students
    C. swim, eat, and make friends          D. do nothing but cool yourself
    (   )51. Why is it important to keep the heat out of the houses in southern Europe?
    A. Because they want to breathe fresh air outside.
    B. Because there’s a fire in the living room.
    C. Because they wear heavy clothing all day long.
    D. Because the sun there shines a lot in the daytime.
    (   )52. Which one is true according to the passage?
    A. People in Britain seldom have balconies because it’s so hot outside.
    B. “Home” is a place where people feel safe, relaxed and comfortable.
    C. Though homes look different in places, they have the same needs.
    D. Houses in Europe always have big windows and cool stone floors.

    If you are a 30-plus plain Jane, or if you are not a local fresh graduate, get ready for the embarrassment(尴尬) in the job market. And you are just one of the millions to face discrimination（歧视）.
    About 85 percent of the 3,424 people covered by a survey in 10 big cities, including Beijing and Shanghai, said discrimination in work and employment（就业） did exist. Also, the survey results given on Friday showed that 58 percent thought the problem to be severe（严重）.
    Appearance, height and gender are the most discriminative categories（范畴）, the Beijing Morning Post reported.
    Some requirements could be funny. The newspaper said Beijing citizen Zhang Meng, who had more than 10 years’ driving experience, failed to get a job because his possible employers considered his name to be “unlucky”.
    “Meng”, they said, literally(字面上)means “rush” in Chinese, which made him more accident prone（倾向）than others.
    Employers discriminate against people from certain regions or areas, such as Central China’s Henan Province, because of the bad impression they have about them. Beijing citizens, too, have their share of bad luck because they are generally considered lazy.
    Cai Dingjian, a professor from China University of Political Science and Law, who headed the survey, said such requirements, which are not connected with the job itself, violate（侵犯）people’s equal right to look for a career. “It violates basic human rights,” he said to the newspaper.
    Cai said governments should pay attention to such discriminations because they exist not only in companies, but are also practiced by them. One example is that civil servants(公务员) are usually required to have a pleasant personality.
    Director of the labour law committee under the All China Lawyers Association
    Jiang Junlu said the lack of related laws was at the root of all discriminations.
    46. Zhang Meng failed to get a job because __________.
    A. he had made more mistakes than others
    B. he lacked driving experience
    C. he was considered to have an unlucky name
    D. he couldn’t find a pleasant employer
    47. What is people’s response to discrimination in job market?
    A. They think it is unfair but necessary due to the large population of China.
    B. It does exist in certain regions, but is not so serious.
    C. Something must be done to stop it by governments.
    D. It is a local problem and isn’t worth much concern.
    48. What can be an effective way to fight against discrimination according to the passage?
    A. To fine companies which practice discrimination.
    B. To make laws related to discrimination.
    C. To stop more people moving into cities.
    D. To train people those who are poor in skills.
    49. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
    A. Discrimination not only exists in companies, but also in governments.
    B. Employers nowadays concern more about appearance, height and gender.
    C. People in Beijing will never worry about experiencing discrimination.
    D. Requirements connected with the job itself should have been put in the first place.

    Last year was the year of the travel deal, with resorts and
    airlines practically begging for bookings, and many travelers
    finding bargain airfares and hotel rooms as a result．Now the
    economy looks as if it might be on a slight rebound．So now is
    the perfect time to review your booking strategy（策略）．
    Here are 4 simple steps you can take to help cut your travel costs in 2010．
    1．Find the Cheapest Dates to Fly
    ITASoftware．com, which provides the technological backbone for many airfare shopping sites, allows users to scan an entire month's fares for the least expensive rate．（Log in as a "guest" and click on "month-long search．"） In January, the 28th and 30th were the cheapest dates to fly nonstop to London from New York （$536） for a week's vacation, according to a recent search．The next best was Saturday, Jan．23, at $640．To book the ticket, users must go to another site．Kayak．com has a flexible-dates option （registration is required）and a calendar that shows the best fares found by other Kayak users in the last 48 hours．Bing Travel, the Microsoft search engine, offers a similar option, found under "plan trips," about halfway down the page．
    2．Consider Nearby Airports
    A recent Web search showed nonstop flights from Los Angeles International Airport to Miami International from $299 round trip on American in early January．But flying into Fort Lauderdale, roughly 30 miles north of Miami, was $219 on Virgin America, an $80 saving．
    3．Go Against the Grain
    If possible, avoid popular travel dates like holidays and spring break because airlines have begun to charge anywhere from $10 to $30 extra at those times．Farecompare．com offers a handy breakdown of the new fees by date, airline and amount．Early-morning and late-night flights may also be cheaper depending on the route．
    4．Make Yourself at Home
    For a 6 to 12 percent booking fee, AirBnB/com connects budget travelers with locals who are offering a place to bed down．The Times's Frugal Traveler, Matt Gross, described it as "a cross between CouchSurfing．com and the vacation rentals section of Craigslist．" There were more than 2,000 listings in a recent search for New York including a futon （床垫） in a one-bedroom near Gramercy Park （$65） and a bedroom with private bath and separate entrance in Hell's Kitchen （$150）．
    65．According to the first paragraph, ____．
    A．the economy in 2010 is surely getting better
    B．2009 saw a sharp decrease in travel fees
    C．the booking strategies can be put away in 2010
    D．in 2009, airlines begged the travelers to buy more travel guides
    66．If you want to book a ticket, you may log on to _____．
    A．ITASoftware．com                B．CouchSurfing．com
    C．AirBnB．com         D．Kayak．com
    67．What does "Go Against the Grain" probably mean in the passage?
    A．Going travelling in the off-season．
    B．Going travelling without taking any grain．
    C．Going travelling during holidays and spring break．
    D．Going travelling without meals served on early-morning and late-night flights．
    68．The passage is most probably taken from ____．
    A．a book review         B．a magazine 
    C．a website            D．a story book

    The Need for Holidays
    You’ve no doubt heard people say how much they “need” a holiday，when what they really mean is that they want one．Certainly，people working under pressure feel a very strong desire to escape from work and become less tight during their holidays，and experience a changed environment. For this reason, holidays away from home are now seen by most people as necessary to their quality life. However, work for many people today are office work and mental, rather than physical tasks. These people may seek much more energy taking activities while on holiday, rather than simply lying on a beach.
    Once people become used to going on holiday, taking holidays becomes a habit. Even in a recession(经济萧条时期), for many people the holiday is one of the last things to be given up, and indeed many workers have chosen to spend some of their last pay when being laid off on a holiday, perhaps to give themselves a "lift” before facing a gloomy(暗淡的)future.
    Perhaps we don't like to admit it, but most of us also enjoy showing off about the places we have been to, and the lovely tans：dark skins we have got. The idea of tanning, however, is becoming less attractive than it was. So many tourists are now able to afford holidays in the sun that tans have become quite common；and although we join a tan together with health(and it is true that a certain amount of sunshine gives us a feeling of being healthy), it has been fully shown that sunshine，especially when received over a short, focused period of time, results in high danger of skin problems, as well as drying out one's skin and leading to more lines on your face later in life.
    57．More and more people choose to have holidays because they ________.
    A. hate working indoors all the time                      B. want to get away from work
    C. love enjoying the beauties of nature                      D. become rich and want a better life
    58．From this passage we learned that some people can not live without ______．
    A. a tan            B. a job           C. a pay       D. a holiday
    59．A holiday may __________ when one has to face some difficulties in life．
    A. cheer someone up                                          B. help someone find a job
    C. be the last thing to be given up                             D. bring good luck to someone
    60．At the end of the passage the writer tries to tell the reader ________.
    A. the importance of getting sunshine                        B. the bad effect of being on holiday
    C. the result of getting sun tanned                             D. the healthy look of being tanned
