Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
When your parents advise you to “get an education” in order to raise your income，they tell you only half the truth. What they really mean is to get just enough education to provide manpower for your society，but not so much that you prove an embarrassment to your society.
Get a high school diploma，at least. Without that，you will be occupationally dead unless your name happens to be George Bernard Shaw or Thomas Alva Edison，and you can successfully dropout in grade school.
Get a college degree，if possible. With a B. A. ，you are on the launching pad. But now you have to start to put on the brakes. If you go for a master's degree，make sure it is an M. B. A. ，and is famous. Law of diminishing returns begins to take effect.
Do you know，for instance，that long-haul truck drivers earn more per year than full professors? Yes，the average 1977 salary for those truckers was $ 24，000. While the full professors managed to earn just $ 23，030.
A Ph. D. is the highest degree you can get. Except for a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial purposes，if you pursue such a degree in any other field，you will face a dim future. There are more Ph. D. s unemployed or underemployed in this country than any other part of the world.
If you become a doctor of philosophy in English or history or anthropology or political science or languages or-worst of all-in philosophy. you run the risk of becoming overeducated for our national demands. Not for our needs，mind you，but for our demands.
Thousands of Ph. D. s are selling shoes，driving cars，waiting on table，and endlessly filling out applications month after month. They may also take a job in some high school or backwater college that pays much less than the janitor earns.
You can equate the level of income with the level of education only so far. Far enough，that is，to make you useful to the gross national product. but not so far that nobody can turn much of a profit on you.
According to the writer，what the society expects of education is to turn out people who______.
A. will not be a disgrace to society
B. will become loyal citizens
C. can take care of themselves
D. can meet the nation's demands as a source of manpower

Parkinson's Disease
1 Parkinson's disease affects the way you move.It happens when there is a problem with certain nerve
cells in the brain. Normally , these nerve cells make an important chemical called dopamine（多巴胺）. Dopa-
mine sends signals to the part of your brain that controls movement.It lets your muscles move smoothly and
do what you want them to do.When you have Parkinson's,these nerve cells break down.Then you no longer
have enough dopamine,and you have trouble moving the way you want to.
2 No one knows for sure what makes these nerve cells break down.But scientists are doing a lot of re-
search to look for the answer. They are studying many possible causes,including aging and poisons in the en-
vironment.Abnormal genes seem to lead to Parkinson's disease in some people.But so far,there is not enough
proof to show that it is always inherited.
3 Tremor（颤抖）may be the first symptom you notice.It is one of the most common signs of the
disease,although not everyone has it.Tremor often starts in just one arm or leg or only on one side of the
body.It may be worse when you are awake but not moving the affected arm or leg. It may get better when you
move the limb or when you are asleep.In time,Parkinson's affects muscles all through your body,so it can
lead to problems like trouble swallowing or constipation（便秘）.In the later stages of the disease , a person
with Parkinson's may have a fixed or blank expression,trouble speaking,and other problems.Some people
also have a decrease in mental skills.
4 At this time,there is no cure for Parkinson's disease.But there are several types of medicines that
can control the symptoms and make the disease easier to live with.You may not even need treatment if your
symptoms are mild.Your doctor may wait to prescribe medicines until your symptoms start to get in the way of
your daily life.Your doctor will adjust your medicines as your symptoms get worse.You may need to take
several medicines to get the best results.You'll find it hard to move the way you want to__________.
A:what affects muscles all through your body
B:if there isn't enough dopamine in your body
C:which cannot be cured yet
D:which may be the first symptom you notice
E:if you have a fixed or blank expression
F: what causes Parkinson's disease答案：B解析：即帕金森综合征的定义。本段的中心意思是什么是帕金森综合征。
即导致疾病产生的可能的原因。本段主要探讨的是这种疾病发生的原因。
即疾病的典型症状。本段讲的是帕金森综合征的一些典型的病症，如颤抖、吞咽困难和 便秘等等。
即通常的治疗方法。从本段可知，虽然帕金森综合征还不能治愈，但是可以通过几种 药物控制患者的病症。
即如果没有足够的多巴胺你会发现自己难以随心所欲地行动。根据第一段最后一句 "Then you no longer have enough dopamine,and you have trouble moving the way you want to.”可 知，本题应选B。
即科学家做了很多研究试图发现导致帕金森综合征的原因。从第二段第一句“No one knows for sure what makes these nerve cells break down.”可知，本题应选F。
即帕金森病最常见的病症是颤抖，它可能是你发现的第一个症状。从第三段第一句 " Tremor (颤抖）may be the first symptom you notice.”可知，本题应选D。
患帕金森综合征的人必须学会带着这种病生活，因为现在人们还无法治愈它，从最后 一段第一句“At this time , there is no cure for Parkinson's disease.”可知，本题应选C。 -
第6题：
One thing you need to know is that you don't obtain education only to further your career.A:advance
B:deserve
C:renew
D:retain答案：A解析：本句意思：你需要知道的是，你并不是只为了提升事业的高度而获得教育。advance作 动词意思为“前进，增长”;deserve的意思为“应受，应得”;renew的意思为“更新”;retain的意思 为“保留，保持”。further作动词的意思为“使进步，前进”，和advance意思接近。 -
第7题：
资料：Being financially secure in retirement just doesn't happen magically. It takes lots of planning, time and savings.
Some scary facts about retirement:
More than 50% of persons do not have enough finances for retirement.
25% do not participate in their company's retirement plan.
The average person spends 20 years in retirement.
Here are some tips to help you plan correctly:
1. Talk to a financial professional. Every few years, it's a good idea to schedule a meeting with a financial planner to get a “check-up”. It's just like a doctor's visit, and you should really talk about your present situation and future goals.
2. Save, save, and keep on saving. Make it a habit to save as much as you can.
3. Learn your retirement needs. Retirement can be expensive. Learn from today how much you need to save for your retirement. Talk to a financial planner, or find an online retirement calculator.
4. Take part in your employer's retirement plans. If your company offers one, it is usually the best tool you can use. Talk to a financial professional for all your options.
5. Learn about pension plans. If you have an employer or government pension plan, learn all the details.
6. Keep your retirement savings off-limits. Don't make a withdrawal until you retire. You might incur penalties and it will be a setback for realizing your goals.
7. Get your employer to start one, and it can help you tremendously.
8. Learn about your government's retirement plans. Every country has different plans, some with special tax incentives, so learn what your country offers and plan accordingly.
9. Do your own research. Use the Internet, read the newspapers and magazines, talk to your friends, to find out as much as you can about retirement.
Which of the following is NOT true about retirement?A.More than half of people don’t have enough finances for retirement.
B.quarter of people don’t take part in their company’s retirement plan.
C.No one can be financially secure in retirement.
D.The average person will spend 20 years in retirement.答案：C解析：本题考查的是细节理解。
【关键词】not true; retirement
【主题句】第二自然段1.More than of persons do not have enough finances for retirement.超过的人没有足够的资金用于退休。2. do not participate in their company’s retirement plan.没有参与公司退休计划。3.The average person spends 20 years in retirement.一般人花费20年时间退休。
【解析】题干意为“以下哪个关于退休的选项不正确？”选项A意为“半数以上的人没有足够的资金用于退休”；选项B意为“四分之一的人没有参加公司的退休计划”；选项C意为“没有人可以在经济上安全退休”；选项D意为“一般人花费20年时间退休”。根据主题句，结合题意选C。 -

How to Get Along Well With Your Boss
1 Before you argue with your boss,check with the boss's secretary to determine his mood.If he ate nails for breakfast,it is not a good idea to ask him for something.Even without the boss's secretary,there are keys to timing:don't approach the boss when he's on deadline,don't go in right before lunch,when he is apt to be distracted and rushed,don't go in just before or after he has taken a vacation.
2 If you're mad,that will only make your boss mad.Calm down first,and don't let a particular concern open the floodgates for all your accumulated frustration.The boss will feel that you think negatively about the company and it is hopeless trying to change your mind.Then maybe he will dismiss you.
3 Terrible disputes can result when neither the employer nor the employee knows what is the problem the other wants to discuss.Sometimes the fight will go away when the issues are made clear.The employee has to get his point across clearly in order to make the boss understand it.
4 Your boss has enough on his mind without your adding more.If you can't put forward an immediate solution,at least suggest how to approach the problem.People who frequently present problems without solutions to their bosses may soon find they can't get past the secretary.
5 To deal effectively with a boss,it's important to consider his goals and pressures.If you can put yourself in the position of being a partner to the boss,then he will be naturally more inclined to work with you to achieve your goals.It is necessary to make clear to the boss______.
A:to give the boss your advice
B:how he is feeling
C:the boss may have
D:what you really want to talk to him about
E:without suggesting a way to solve it
F:how unhappy you are答案：D解析：文章第二段第一句话“If you are mad , that will only make your boss mad.”是本段的主题句，是说如果你在心情不好时去找老板，这样会把事情弄得更糟。故选D。
由文章第三段第一句和第二句话“Terrible disputes can result when neither the employer nor the employee knows what is the problem the other wants to discuss.Sometimes the fight will go away when the issues are made clear.”可知，当老板或员工不知道对方想探讨的问题是什么时，就会引发激烈的争吵，而当双方都清楚了之后就可能不会争吵。故选E0
由文章第四段第二句和第三句话“If you can ' t put forward an immediate solution , at least suggest how to approach the problem.People who frequently present problems without solutions to their bosses may soon find they can ' t get past the secretary.”可知，如果你不能提出解决问题的即时方案，至少也要给老板建议可以解决问题的途径。那些只会不断向老板提出问题而不提供解决办法的人很快就会发现他们在老板秘书那都过不了关，更别提会被老板接见了。因此，在提出问题时也要提出问题的解决办法。故选C。
文章第五段第一句话“To deal effectively with a boss , it ' s important to consider his goals and pressures.”是本段的主题句，是说应该设身处地地从老板的角度看问题，这样老板才会愿意帮助你解决你所提出的问题。故选B。
由文章第一段第一句话“Before you argue with your boss , check with the boss ' s secretary to determine his mood.”可知，如果想要向老板询问什么，应该首先向老板的秘书确认老板此刻的心情。故选B。
由文章第三段可知，让老板明白你想要探讨的问题是很必要的。故选D。
由文章第四段可知，只向老板提出问题，而不提供解决办法是不明智的。故选E。
由文章最后一段第一句话“To deal effectively with a boss , it ' s important to consider his goals and pressures.”可知，应该设身处地地从老板的角度考虑老板所面临的问题和麻烦，才会取得有效的解决问题的办法。故选C。 -

Method for College Students to Cover Tuition Fees and Other Living Costs In China, college students should pay for the tuition fees themselves. However, most students have no jobs and the most common way to cover tuition fees is to turn to parents for help. There are also some students who find jobs in the summer before they go to college. In my opinion, the best way is to find part-time jobs.
On the one hand, they are in school all the time, from primary school to high school. They never get in touch with society and need social experience. So, during college time, they can take the opportunity of doing part-time jobs to accelerate experience.
On the other hand, college students can earn money to support themselves. Some students are able to earn their tuition fees and some may not. Even though the money they earn is not enough for the tuition fees, it can cover their living costs.
All in all, part-time job not only can add social experience but also can support college students their everyday life and even tuition fees. It is the best way for them because they can benefit much from it.解析： 暂无解析 -

第15题：
A
You may not realize it，but you are doing much more than just studying，when you are at school． School is also the place where you learn to get along well with people． But this is not al-ways easy． What can you do if you just don-t like one of your classmates? If you discover that you have problems getting along with your classmates or friends，the most important thing to learn is tolerance(宽容)． Tolerance is the ability(能/J ) to realize and respect(尊重) the differences in others． We can not change the way that other people do，so it is important to learn to live happily with them．
Tolerance will make everyone get on better with each other． Getting to know someone may help you understand why they do things differently． Something different does not exactly mean that it is bad． Tolerance teaches us to keep an even temper and open mind ．
You need to remember an old saying，"Treat others how you want to be treated"． You would like to be treated kindly by your classmates，so it is important to treat them kindly too．
If you tolerate(宽容) something，it does not mean that you have to like it． No one is asking you to change who you are or what you believe in． Tolerance just means that you should respect the differences in others and not try to make them change．
It is important to practice tolerance，because it will make everyone's lives easier． Learn to accept(接受) people for their different abilities and interests． The world is very different，and practicing tolerance in your own school and city can help you make a difference．

Harmless Revenge
Revenge is one of those things that everyone enjoys.People don't like to talk about it,though.Just the
same,there is nothing more satisfying or more rewarding than revenge.The purpose is not to harm your vic-
tims but to let them know that you are upset about something that they are doing to you.Careful plotting can
provide you with relief from bothersome co-workers,gossiping friends,or nagging family members.
Co-workers who make comments about the fact that you are always fifteen minutes late for work can be
taken care of very simply.All you have to do is get up extra early one day.Before the sun comes up,drive
to each coworker's house.Reach under the hood of your coworker's car and disconnect the center wire that
leads to the distributor cap,the car will be unharmed,but it will not start,and your friends at work will all
be late for work on the same day.If you're lucky,your boss might notice that you are the only one there and
will give you a raise.
Gossiping friends at school are also perfect targets for a simple act of revenge.A way to trap either male
or female friends is to leave phony messages on their lockers.If the friend that you want to get is male,leave
a message that a certain girl would like him to stop by her house later that day.With any luck,her boyfriend
will be there.The girl won't know what's going on,and the victim will be so embarrassed that he probably
won't leave his home for a month.
When Mom and Dad and your sisters and brothers really begin to annoy you,harmless revenge may be
just the way to make them quiet down for a while.The dinner table is a likely place.Just before the meal
begins,throw a handful of raisins into the food.Wait about five minutes and,after everyone has begun to
eat,cover your mouth with your hand and begin to make odd noises.When they ask you what the matter is,
point to a raisin and yell,"Bugs!"They dump their food in the disposal,jump into the car,and head for
McDonald'a.That night,you'll have your first quiet,peaceful meal in a long time.
A well-planned revenge does not have to hurt anyone.The object is simply to let other people know that
they are beginning to bother you.As a harmless revenge,you might come first and get a raise by________.
A:making your colleagues come late
B:getting up earlier than your colleagues
C:destroying your colleagues' cars
D:pleasing your boss答案：A解析：由文章第一段和最后一段可知，无恶意的报复行为是为了让你的报复对象知道他们打 扰到你了。B项：对打扰你的人采取行动是正确的。
由文章第二段可知，在某一天早上早起，开车到每一位同事的家门前，不用毁坏他们的 车子但要使车子都发动不了。这样当你的老板发现只有你一个人没有迟到时就会给你加薪。 故选A。
由文章第三段最后一句话可知，女孩对此一无所知。
由文章倒数第二段可知，要想摆脱唠叨的家人，可以在晚饭前丢一把葡萄干到食物里， 然后在开饭时指着葡萄干对他们说：“有虫子！”由此可知，家人们随后倒掉食物是因为A项： 他们误认为食物被糟蹋了。
本文的主旨是C项：进行无恶意的报复。 -

由文章第四段第二句和第三句话“If you can ' t put forward an immediate solution , at least suggest how to approach the problem.People who frequently present problems without solutions to their bosses may soon find they can ' t get past the secretary.”可知，如果你不能提出解决问题的即时方案，至少也要给老板建议可以解决问题的途径。那些只会不断向老板提出问题而不提供解决办法的人很快就会发现他们在老板秘书那都过不了关，更别提会被老板接见了。因此，在提出问题时也要提出问题的解决办法。故选C。
文章第五段第一句话“To deal effectively with a boss , it ' s important to consider his goals and pressures.”是本段的主题句，是说应该设身处地地从老板的角度看问题，这样老板才会愿意帮助你解决你所提出的问题。故选B。
由文章第一段第一句话“Before you argue with your boss , check with the boss ' s secretary to determine his mood.”可知，如果想要向老板询问什么，应该首先向老板的秘书确认老板此刻的心情。故选B。
由文章第三段可知，让老板明白你想要探讨的问题是很必要的。故选D。
由文章第四段可知，只向老板提出问题，而不提供解决办法是不明智的。故选E。
由文章最后一段第一句话“To deal effectively with a boss , it ' s important to consider his goals and pressures.”可知，应该设身处地地从老板的角度考虑老板所面临的问题和麻烦，才会取得有效的解决问题的办法。故选C。 -

As Iraq struggles to recover from conflict and severe economic hardship to a society that is once again able to stand on its own two feet, the United nations has convened a meeting on 23, June to ensure that the Iraqis immediate humanitarian needs are met and the transition to longer-term reconstruction is fully underway by the beginning of the next year.
Indeed, such actions and achievements in responding to anticipated humanitarian needs in Iraq have played a crucial role in averting a much larger potential crisis. Even as the conflict was underway, national UN staff continued to carry out their duties. Aid activities under the Oil for Food Programme in Iraq’s three northern govern orates never stopped.1 National staff of the World Food Programme worked to open corridors from Turkey, Jordan and Iran into Iraq.2UNICEF local staff delivered humanitarian supplies and worked to maintain the supply of potable water.3WHO local staff supported Iraqi health professionals.4 Under the Oil for Food Programme, UNDP worked to maintain and restore electric power supplies, especially in the north.5
As of today, more than 800, 000 metric tonnes of food—enough to feed almost all of Iraq’s 27 million people for two months have been dispatched to Iraq.6 An average of 3.5 million litres of water per day is being tankered7 to hospitals, health centres and communities in the south and in the Baghdad area. Basic medicines, vaccines and health supplies have been delivered8 to facilities throughout the country. Agencies have helped repair and restore water, sanitation and power facilities, as well as schools, which have also been receiving essential education supplies.
But great needs remain. Due to the lack of a functioning economy, combined with prolonged reliance on the ration system, virtually all of the population of Iraq will require food aid in the short run in order to survive.9 The Flash Appeal for Iraq, asking for$2. 2 billion to cover needs for six months, was issued in March. Generous donor funding (approximately$900 million), and access to the resources of the Oil for Food Programme ($1. 1 billion), have meant that $2 billion is already available for humanitarian aid for the people of Iraq. The revised humanitarian appeal for Iraq seeks to meet the needs of the Iraqi people up to the end of the year. Given the healthy funding status, only an additional US $259 million is required.
Food aid alone accounts for two-thirds of the aid being requested through the Appeal. While the food sector, accounting for some $1.56 billion, is fully funded,10 funding is still required for equally important interventions in other sectors. Most essential needs must be still met: health care; clean water and sanitation; electricity; infrastructure repair; shelter; mine action and mine awareness; education; food security and agriculture; assistance for internally displaced persons and returning refugees. Given the urgent needs in other parts of the world in much of Africa, Afghanistan, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, as well as other places, it is essential that donor countries ensure that contributions to Iraq are in addition to and not in place of— funding for other emergencies.

问答题Practice 3You are required to write a letter to the post office in your university or in the nearby neighborhood to tell them that you haven't received a parcel which your friend send you for your birthday. In the letter you should cover the following information:(1) explain your situation,(2) tell them what are there in the parcel, and(3) tell them what you want them to do about it.Write at least 150 words.You do NOT need to write any addresses.正确答案： 【范文】
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to express my strong dissatisfaction with the poor postal service which causes me great trouble.
I am a student of Dalian University and I am from the south. About one month and a half ago one of my friend sent me a parcel which contains some photos we took at Xiamen. My friend now is in America. It is because he would leave that we tried our best to be together in last summer holiday. Before he left he sent these photos to me. So they are very precious to both of us.
But to my great disappointment, I have not received these photos yet. What embarrasses me most is that your postal staff refuse to look into the matter which has made me extremely angry.
I sincerely hope that you will improve your management system and give prompt attention to my case. I am looking forward to your favorable reply at your earliest convenience.
Yours sincerely,
