Part A

Directions: Read the following three texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.

The United States Congress is a bicameral legislature. Two Houses-Senate and House of Representatives make the laws. Before a bill may be sent to the President to sign, both houses must approve. When great agreement exists on a bill, the law moves quickly. However, most suggested laws are complex and relate to interests and conflicts which need debate and careful consideration.

Both houses of Congress use the committee system to handle the numerous bills. A bill is referred to the committee responsible for that category -- whether taxation, foreign affairs, housing or whatever. In the committee the bill is studied, arguments are collected for and against, and advice is gathered from experts on the subject. Citizens have the chance to influence legislation through the committee system. If the committee votes favorably, the bill goes before the entire house. Usually, committee approval means favorable action by the Senate and House of Representatives.

As a result, membership on the more important committees is eagerly sought. How long a senator or representative has served in Congress is most important in assigning committee memberships. Usually the majority political party receives a majority of the memberships of each committee. In this way the party controls decisions because the real work and power of Congress lies in the system of committees. Some people protest that this system restricts laws, but most see this as the system that works best.

By using the context and word part clues, we may conclude that "bicameral" means _______.

A.Republicans and Democrats

B.two Houses

C.congressional system

D.law making procedure

Part B [A]YoumayhavetoimpressthecompanyHRrepresentativesaswell. HRrepsaretypicallytraine

Part B

[A] You may have to impress the company HR representatives as well.

HR reps are typically trained to ask very specific and personal questions,

like what salary you expect and what you’ve made in the past.

They might ask you about your impressions of the company and the people who

interviewed you. They might also ask if you have other offers. If so,

chances are good that they are willing to compete for you.

But if you say that you have other offers,

be prepared to back it up with the who, what and when,

because they might challenge you.

The HR reps are also the people who will conduct or arrange reference and background checks.

They might have the final say.

[B] Besides management, you might also interview with one or more of your future coworkers.

Regardless of the questions they ask, what they most really want to know is how well you’

ll fit into the team, if you’ll cause them more work instead of less,

and if they should feel threatened by you. When answering,

be eager enough to show that you are a good team player and will pull your load,

but not so eager as to appear to be a back- stabbing ladder climber!

[C] Always research a company before you interview, and remember that attire,

body language and manners count, big time. Try to avoid common mistakes.

You may think that this is common sense, but crazy stuff really happens!

[D] Job interviewing is one of the most popular career topics on the Web.

But no career advisor can tell you exactly what to say during a job interview.

Interviews are just too upclose and personal for that.

About the best that career advisors can do,

is to give you some tips about the typical questions to expect,

so you can practice answering them ahead of time. But,

while there are many canned interview questions, there are few canned answers.

The rest is up to you.

[E] Be prepared to attend a second interview at the same company,

and maybe even a third or fourth. If you’re called back for more interviews,

it means that they’re interested in you. But, it doesn’t mean you’re a shoo- in. Most likely, they are narrowing the competition, so keep up the good work!

[F] To put you somewhat at ease, many interviewers really don’t know how to interview effectively.

Frontline interviewers are typically managers and supervisors

who have never been or are barely trained in interviewing techniques.

They’re a little nervous too, just like you. Some don’t even prepare in advance.

This makes it easier for you to take control of the interview,

if you have prepared. But in controlling an interview, it’s not a good idea to try to dominate.

Instead, try to steer it toward landing the job.

[G] After interviewing, immediately send a thank you letter to each of your interviewers.

It’s professional and expected, and might even be the deciding factor in your favor.

[H] Remember, it’s a two- way street. It’s the employer’s chance to judge you,

but it’s also very much your chance to judge the employer. In fact,

if you handle yourself well and ask the right questions,

you’ll put the interviewer in the position of selling the company to you.

If this happens, you’re probably doing well.

Order:

For more than six million American children, coming home after school means coming home to
an empty house. They spend part of each day alone. They are called "latchkey children". They're children who look after themselves while their parents work. And their bad conditions have become a social problem.

Lyne Brown was once the headmaster of an elementary school. She said, "A lot of kids had chains around their necks with keys attached.! was constantly telling them to put them inside shirts. There were so many keys, it never came to my mind what they meant. ",slowly, she learned they were house keys.

Lyne learned of the impact working couples and single parents were having on their children. She found that Fear is the biggest problem faced by children at home alone. Many had nightmares and were worried about their own safety.

The most common way latchkey children deal with their fears is by hiding. It might be in a shower stall, under a bed, in a closet. The second is TV. They'll often play it at high volume. It's hard to get statistics (情况,材料) on latchkey children. Most parents are slow to admit they leave their children alone.

The main idea about "latchkey children" is that they______.

A.are growing in numbers

B.are also found in middle-class neighborhoods

C.watch too much television during the day

D.suffer problems from being left alone

Excitement, fatigue, and anxiety can all be detected from someone's blinks, according to p
sychologist John Stern (21) Washington University in St. Louis. Stern specialized in the study on these tiny twitches, using them as sensitive (22) of how the brain works. "I use blinks as a psychological measure to make (23) about thinking because I have very little (24) in what you tell me about what you are thinking." He says. "If I ask you the question, 'what does the phrase a rolling stone gathers no moss mean?' you can't tell me (25) you've started looking for the answer. But I can, by watching your eyes."

Blinks also tell Stern when you have understood his question--often long before he's finished asking it--and when you've found an answer or part of (26) . "We blink at times (27) are psychologically important." He says. "You have listened to a question, you understand it, (28) you can take time out for a blink. Blinks are (29) marks.

Stern has found that (31) suppress blinks when they are absorbing or anticipating (32) but not when they're reciting it. People blink later, for example, (33) they have to memorize six numbers instead of two. "You don't blink," he says, "until you have (34) the information to some short-term memory store." And if subjects are cued (35) the set of numbers is coming, say, five seconds, they'll curb their blinks until the task is (36) .

Direction:There are five passages in this part,Each passage is followed by five questions
or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choice marked A,B,C and D. Choose the best one and mark the corresponding letter with a single bar across the square brackets on your machine-scoring ANSWER SHEET.

Passage One

They may be one of Britain’s most successful exports and among the world’s most popular TV shows,ranking alongside the World Cup Final and the Olympics Games opening ceremony in terms of audience. But,in Britain,beauty competitions are unfashionable. To most people,beauty contests seems as out-dated as bowing. Nicolas Baker,a lawyer in London,said that“As much as I think it’s fine for women to do it,I don’t think it’s interesting and in fact,I think they’re irrelevant to today.”Last year,Miss World was broadcast to 142 countries,but it wasn’t even shown in the country where it started in 1951.

It wasn’t always this way in Britain. Once beauty queens dated footballers,traveled the world and were guaranteed fame,fortune and fun. Now,they open new supermarkets,are sponsored by dry-cleaning companies and if they’re lucky,they get free clothes from supermarkets.

When Francesca Marchant was crowned Miss Sussex in 1969,it was something to be extremely proud of“I came from a small town,and all my friends were green with envy when they found out I’d won. My boyfriend at the time thought it was terrific and boasted to everyone that he was going out with a beauty queen.

But the good times couldn’t last. The feminist movement gathered momentum. Some women were determined to bring an end to these“cattle shows.” Nowadays,saying that you were a beauty queen just doesn’t sound good.

Miss World organizers claim that contestants are judged on qualities other than just their physical appearance. But Jacqueline Gold,England’s representative at this year’s contest,was not chosen because of her academic record. The Miss World Website states that she“left school having gained many computer qualifications,and certificates in First Aid and Lift Saving.”meaning,not much of an education.

The only time contests attract attention now is because of the protesters. At the 1999 Miss World in Britain around 60 demonstrators hurled flour bombs and fought with the police. They denounced the beauty contest as a“sexist cattle market”. They waved banners saying“fat girls are cool”and“women’s bodies are not for sale.”

31. Beauty contests in Britain are now .

A. bringing huge benefits for the country

B. as popular as the World Cup Final

C. no longer popular in the country

D. widely protested in the country

Laptop(便携式) computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and
airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their work place. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.

West lake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do school work anywhere they want.

State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students.

State Officials also are testing laptop programs at other universities,too.

At West lake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use the computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons.

You know what a hotel is, of course. And perhaps, you also know what a condo is-aresidnti
al(居住的)building divided into seprate uniots that are owned by different people.What you may not know is that in someU.S. cities, the two have come together into somethingcalled a “condo hotel”.

We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes
are about people. "Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen? .... When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?" When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it' s too late.

Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don' t really listen closely we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, "You' re a lucky dog." That' s being friendly. But "lucky dog?" There' s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn' t see it himself. But bringing in the "dog" puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn' t think you deserve your luck.

"Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn' t important. It' s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven't got a date for Saturday night.

How can you tell the real meaning behind someone' s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.

This passage is mainly about ______.

A.how to interpret what people say

B.what to do when. you listen to others talking

C.how to avoid mistakes when you communicate with people

D.why we go wrong with people sometimes

第10题
Part B [A]Analyzingyourowntaste [B]Beingcautiouswhenexperimenting [C]Findingamodelt

Part B [A] Analyzing your own taste

[B] Being cautious when experimenting

[C] Finding a model to follow

[D] Getting the final look absolutely right

[E] Learning to be realistic

[F] Making regular conscious choices

When we meet people for the first time, we often make decisions about them based entirely on how they look.

And, of course it’s something that works both ways, for we too are being judged on our appearance.

When we look good, we feel good, which in turn leads to a more confident and self-assured manner. People then pick up on this confidence and respond positively towards us,

Undoubtedly, it's what's inside that's important, but sometimes

we can send out the wrong signals simply by wearing inappropriate clothing or not spending enough time thinking about how others see us.

41___________

For example, people often make the mistake of trying to look like someone else they’ve seen in a magazine, but this is usually a disaster as we all have our own characteristics.

Stand in front of a fulllength mirror and be honest with yourself about what you see.

There is no need to dwell on your faults—we all have good points and bad points—but think instead about the best way to emphasize the good ones.

42___________

When selecting your clothes each day, think about who you’re likely to meet, where you’re going to be spending most of your time and what tasks you are likely to perform. Clearly,

some outfits will be more appropriate to different sorts of activity

and this will dictate your choice to an extent. However, there’s no need to abandon your individual taste completely. After all,

if you dress to please somebody else’s idea of what looks good, you may end up feeling uncomfortable and not quite yourself.

43___________

But to know your own mind, you have to get to know yourself.

What do you truly feel good in? There are probably a few favourite items that you wear a lot—most people wear 20 per cent of their wardrobe 80 per cent of the time.

Look at these clothes and ask yourself what they have in common.

Are they neat and tidy, loose and flowing? Then look at the things hanging in your wardrobe that you don’t wear and ask yourself why.

Go through a few magazines and catalogues and mark the things that catch your eye. Is there a common theme?

44___________

Some colors bring your natural colouring to life and others can give us a washed-out appearance. Try out new colours by all means,

but remember that dressing in bright colours when you really like subtle neutral tones,

or vice versa, will make you feel selfconscious and uncomfortable.

You know deep down where your own taste boundaries lie. And although it’s good to challenge those sometimes with new combinations or shades,

take care not to go too far all at once.

45___________

So, you’ve chosen an outfit that matches your style,

your personality, your shape and your colouring. But does it fit? If something is too tight or too loose,

you won’t achieve the desired effect, and no matter what other qualities it has, it won’t improve your appearance or your confidence. Sometimes,

we buy things without thinking. Some people who dislike shopping grab the first thing they see,

or prefer to use mail-order or the Internet. In all cases, if it doesn’t fit perfectly, don’t buy it, because the finer details are just as important as the overall style.

Reappraising your image isn’t selfish because everyone who comes into contact with you will benefit. You’ll look better and you’ll feel a better person all round. And if in doubt, you only need to read Professor Albert Mehrabian’s book Silent Messages to remind yourself how important outward appearances are.

His research showed that the impact we make on each other depend 55 per cent on how we look and behave,

38 per cent on how we speak and only 7 per cent on what we actually say.

So, whatever stage you are at in your life, whatever role you play, isn’t it time you made the most of yourself?
