4.When I first arrived in Taiwan to teach English,I had already taken several courses in university on Mandarin Chinese.I had done well in those courses and enjoyed them very much.I thought I would be able to have a conversation with Chinese speakers and improve my Chinese in the process.
However,as soon as I settled in Taiwan I became afraid to speak.Seeing all of the signs written in Chinese,constantly overhearing long streams of spoken Chinese,and seeing the effortless fluency of some foreigners who had been there for a while,I began to doubt my own ability to speak Chinese.It's proved that things were different outside of the classroom.
What really happened to me was what happens every day to Chinese language learners.I became afraid and nervous at the foreignness of the language.Something happened a few weeks later.I tried to spend a lot of time in public,and the sound of spoken Chinese was becoming more ordinary to me.Despite the fact that I had not been practicing my Chinese and I had not consulted my vocabulary flashcards.I begin to notice some words that I recognized from my courses in university.At first,I heard only one word."dianhua"-telephone.After that,I begin hearing other words.Sometimes,I would hear a couple of words in one sentence.
More and more words began to stand out to me.I started studying Chinese characters and began to be able to read small blocks of text in the advertisements.When I really began speaking in Chinese to Chinese people I met,I began to learn Chinese fast and the smiles that I received in return were a fantastic reward for the work that I had done in learning the language.It was a great feeling to order food from a restaurant in Chinese,or to make a comment about the weather to the lady who works at the bank.
21.What can we conclude from the passage?A
A.The author is sharing his Spoken Chinese experience.
B.The author is a fearful and cautious man.
C.The author didn't get good grades at university.

B.the author thought he could talk with Chinese in mandarin before he arrived in Taiwan.
C.the author failed to improve his spoken Chinese.
D.the language in reality is just the same as that taught in classroom.
23.Why does the author doubt his ability to speak Chinese at first?D
A.Everything in Taiwan is different from that in America.
B.People often misunderstand the author on purpose.
C.Other foreigners can't communicate with him.
D.He has difficulty understanding the native language.

5.The rising costs of health care have become a problem for many countries in the world.To deal with this problem,it is recommended that a big part of the government's health budget(预算)be used for health education and disease prevention instead of treatment.Actually,many kinds of diseases are preventable in many ways and preventing a disease is usually much cheaper than treating it.For example,people could avoid catching a cold if they dressed warmly when the weather starts getting cold.But many people get sick because they fail to do so,and have to spend money seeing a doctor.
Daily habits like eating more healthy food would have kept millions of families from becoming bankrupt if the patients had taken measures for early prevention.For example,keeping a balanced diet,such as not consuming too much animal fat and insuring a steady intake of vegetables and fruits,seems to be quite important.
One very effective and costless way of prevention is regular exercise,which is necessary for a healthy mind and body.Regular exercise,such as running,walking,and playing sports is a good way to make people feel better or reduce stress.
In addition,health education plays a key role in improving people's health.By giving people more information about health,countries could help people understand the importance of disease prevention and ways to achieve it.For example,knowing one's family medical history is an effective way to help keep healthy.Information about health problems among close relatives will make them aware of what they should do to prevent certain diseases through lifestyle changes,which will work before it is too late.
Hinderer,stressing disease prevention does not mean medical treatment is unimportant.After all,prevention and treatment are just two different means toward the same effect.In conclusion,we could save money on health care and treat patients more successfully if our country spends more money on health prevention and education.
28.What's the best title of the passage?B
A.Prevention or Education?
B.Prevention or Treatment?
C.Health or Illness?
D.Exercise or Illness?
29.Which of the following can replace the underlined word"bankrupt"?B
A.Unable to be cured.
B.Unable to pay one's debts.
C.Stronger than ever before.
D.More successful than ever before.
30.We learn from the passage thatC.
A.dressing warmly can prevent diseases
B.a balanced diet is cheaper than regular exercise
C.It's better to have more health education.
D.the government's health budget should be increased
31.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?B

CP(Central Point) P(Point) S(Sub-point次要点)  C(Conclusion)

10.The African elephant,which is the largest land animal remaining on earth,is of great importance to African ecosystem.Unlike other animals,the African elephant is to a great extent the builder of its environment.As a big plant-eater,it largely shapes the forest-and-savanna (大草原) surroundings in which it lives,therefore setting the terms of existence for millions of other animals that live in its habitat.
It is the elephant's great desire for food that makes it a disturber of the environment and an important builder of its habitat.In its continuous search for the 300pounds of plants it must have every day,it kills small trees and under-bushes,and pulls branches off big trees.This results in numerous open spaces in both deep tropical forests and in the woodlands that cover part of the African savannas.In these open spaces are numerous plants in various stages of growth that attract a variety of other plant-eaters.
Take the rain forests for example.In their natural state,the spreading branches overhead shut out sunlight and prevent the growth of plants on the forest floor.By pulling down trees and eating plants,elephants make open spaces,allowing new plants to grow on the forest floor.In such situations,the forests become suitable for large hoofed plant-eaters to move around and for small plant-eaters to get their food as well.
What worries scientists now is that the African elephant has become an endangered species.If the elephant disappears,scientists say,many other animals will also disappear from vast areas of forest and savanna,greatly changing and worsening the whole ecosystem.

29.What is the passage mainly about?B
A.Disappearance of African elephants.
B.The effect of African elephants'search for food.
C.Forests and savannas as habitats for African elephants.
D.The eating habit of African elephants.
30.What does the underlined phrase"setting the terms"most probably mean?B
A.Fixing the time.
B.Deciding the conditions.
C.Improving the quality.
D.Worsening the state.
31.What do we know about the open spaces in the passage?C
A.They result from the destruction of rain forests.
B.They provide food mainly for African elephants.
C.They are attractive to plant-eating animals of different kinds.
D.They are home to many endangered animals.
32.The passage is developed mainly byD.
A.giving examples
B.pointing out similarities and differences
C.describing the changes in space order
D.showing the effect and then explaining the causes.

14.The elevator of the future may be just over the horizon thanks to German company    ThyssenKrupp.The firm has invented a cable-free elevator(called MULTI)that can go up and    down like traditional lifts but the magnetic motors allow it to go side-to-side too.The designers predict that this technology could increase the carrying capacity of existing architecture by as much as 50%.Plus it looks really neat.
ThyssenKrupp plans to use light-weight materials to build its elevator ears of the future and the lack of a cable winch(钢缆绞车)will reduce weight as well.The ears wouldn't just move up and down as they do now but would instead go in a circle that allows more cars to slip in fight behind the next.The result is that you might only have to wait 10 seconds for the next one to arrive rather than wait for the one you just missed to come back down.
The technology backing ThyssenKrupp's MULTI elevator is very similar to magnetic    levitation(磁悬浮)systems used in high-speed trains.Each car has two magnetic motors-one    for vertical movement and another for horizontal.This system can also deliver power to the car's internal lighting and electronics without using wires.
A traditional cable driven elevator has mechanical components that can hold the car in place in the event of a power-off.ThyssenKrupp didn't go into detail about safety measures in its announcement but it's safe to say the magnetic levitation elevator will have some sort of system to hold it in place if the lights go out.ThyssenKrupp is working on a test tower that will be used to develop the MULTI into a rear elevator technology.This should be up and running by 2016 but it will probably take at least a few more years before you get to climb inside a magnetic elevator car.
32.What does the underlined phrase"over the horizon"mean?B
A.Above sea level.       
B.On the way.
C.On the market.     
D.Out of sight.
33.MULTI is designed toB.
A.save energy         
B.carry more passengers
C.run much faster     
D.be neat and comfortable
34.The key technology about MULTI is itsB.
A.cable winch         
B.magnetic motor
C.wireless electronics    
D.lighting material
35.What can be learned from the last paragraph?D
A.MULTI will sell well.
B.MULTI has to work on a tower.
C.MULTI will be put into use in 2016.
D.MULTI has a safety system in case of power-off.

11.YOU CAN'T DO IT EVEN IF IT HURTS NOBODY
Who do you think breaks the law in our society?If you believe that only tough guys commit crimes,you may have to think again.Unlike in the movies,we can't divide the world into bad guys and model citizens. Real life is much more complex.In the same way that diseases range from the common cold to fatal forms of cancer,crimes vary in degree.For example,smoking in an elevator will inconvenience people,but much less than threatening them with a gun.
In addition to breaking the law themselves,people tolerate various levels of crime.Why can we tolerate some crimes?It may be that,by seeing others do something,we accept it more easily.For instance,most people will find it easier to speed on a highway when everybody else is driving over the speed limit.When people celebrate a sports championship,if they see someone breaking store windows,they might start breaking windows themselves or even steal from the store.So the people around us influence how much law-breaking we can tolerate.
We must also wonder whether seeing violence on television or reading about it in the newspapers every day makes us tolerate crime more than we should.We become used to seeing blood on the news on television,or in full color in newspapers and magazines.Because we see thousands of dead people on TV,maybe we just try to ignore the situation behind the violence.If so many citizens tolerate violence and crime,or even commit crimes themselves,it may simply be because of the human mind.Our minds may not care about specific laws.Instead,our minds may have a system of values that usually prevents us from hurting other people to improve our own lives.Yet,when it comes to respecting the rights of a mass of anonymous (不知名的)individuals,we might not be so responsible.While most people would not steal a wallet containing 50,they may not mind cheating on taxes,because cheating on taxes does not hurt anyone person.It hurts society,but"society"remains an abstract idea that is not as real as a neighbor or a friend's friend.
When we realize that many people have misunderstandings of law-breaking,we could think it is surprising that so many people have a criminal record.How could we improve the level of honesty in our society?Would strict laws help make our society better?Probably not.Honesty will have to come from social pressure:in the family,at school,on the job,each and every one of us can encourage honesty by showing which behavior is unacceptable.And teaching respect should  become everyone's responsibility.

33.According to the author,"Real life is much more complex."probably meansB.
A.smoking in an elevator goes against laws in the real life
B.there is a wide range of people and crimes in the real life
C.there are much more crimes than diseases in the real life
D.some model citizens sometimes break laws in the real life
34.People tolerate violence and crime becauseA.
A.they hold mistaken beliefs about law-breaking
B.most unlawful acts are not harmful to the individual
C.they pay no attention to the truth behind the crimes
D.their behavior is the same as that of most other people
35.What is the author's purpose in writing this passage?D
A.To explain why many people have criminal records.

12.Woman Uses Daughter's Key to"Steal"Car
Charlie Vansant,a college student of Athens,Ohio,who reported that his car was stolen,got a surprise when he learned a woman had mistaken it for her daughter's car and taken it-using her key.
Kate Anderson became an accidental car thief when picking up her daughter's car near an Ohio University building last week.Anderson spotted the Toyota Camry(丰田凯美瑞)and used her daughter's key to unlock the car,start the engine and drive home-without realizing that the car wasn't her daughter's.
When Charlie Vansant left class a short time later,he found only an empty parking spot.He first assumed the car had been towed,but when the police couldn't find a record of it,they took a theft report.
The morning after Anderson took the car,her daughter discovered the Camry in the driveway wasn't hers.Anderson said she was able to find Vansant's name on paperwork in the glove compartment and look up his phone number on the website for the university.
When Anderson told Charlie the car was in her driveway,"It sounded really suspicious at first,as she wanted to hold the thing for ransom (赎金),"said Vansant.He eventually went to the house with a police officer,where he was reunited with his car.According to the police report,the case was closed"because of mistaken car identity",and Anderson wasn't charged.
Vansant seemed to blame the car company more than the"thief"."Her key fit not only my lock,but my ignition(点火装置)as well-so high-five for Toyota,I guess."he said.
