The advertisement in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theatre box in Richland Hills any day between 10：00 and 4: 00. Since I work from 9: 00 to 5: 30, the only time I could go to the theatre was during my 45minute lunch break. Unfortunately, the theatre is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip in 45 minutes. Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for 15 minutes waiting for the bus.By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip. So I gave up and went back to the office.The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again next day. On Thursday, my luck changed. I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in exactly 20 minutes. When I got there, however, I found a long line of people at the box office, I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for over an hour. Realizing I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and headed back across the town. By Friday I realized my only hope was to make the trip by taxi, it was expensive, but I felt it would be worth it to hear the concert. The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but felt like an hour to me. When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line. The reason, however，I quickly discovered, was that they had already sold all the tickets.‎ ‎5．The man learned ________ that there would be a concert last Friday.‎ A．from his friends B．from one of his workmates C．over the radio D．from the newspaper ‎6．He tried to go to the theatre every day but managed to get there only ________.‎ A．once B．twice C．three times D．four times ‎7．One day the man took ________ to get to the theatre by bus.‎ A．fortyfive minutes B．fifteen minutes ‎ ‎ C．just twenty minutes D．over an hour ‎8．The underlined word“relieved” may best be replaced by ________.‎ A．surprised B．pleased C．puzzled D．sorry C The interview had been going on for about 20 minutes and everything seems to be going well. Then, suddenly，the interviewer asks an unexpected question，“Which is more important，law or Dove？”‎ Job applicants in the West increasingly find themselves asked strange questions like this. And the signs are that this is beginning to happen in China.‎ Employers want people skilled，enthusiastic and devoted. So these are the qualities that any reasonably intelligent job applicants will try to show no matter what his or her actual feelings are. In response，employers are increasingly using questions which try and show the applicant’s true personality.‎ The question in the first paragraph comes from a test called the Keirsey Personality Sorter.It is an attempt to discover how people solve problems，rather than what they know.This is often called an aptitude test (能力倾向测验)．‎ According to Mark Baldwin many job applicants in China are finding this type of questions difficult.When a Chinese person fills out an aptitude test , he or she will think there is a right answer and they may fail because they try to guess what the examiner wants to see.‎ This is sometimes called the prisoner’s dilemma.Applicants are trying to act cleverly in their own interest.But they fail because they don’t understand what the interviewer is looking for.Remember that in an aptitude test，the correct answer is always the honest answer.‎ ‎9．The writer wrote the passage to________.‎ A．give you a piece of advice on a job interview ‎ B．tell you how to meet a job interviewer C．describe the aptitude test ‎ D．advice you how to find a job ‎10．Why do the interviewers ask such questions?‎ A．They want to discover what the interviewees know.‎ B．They are curious about the answers.‎ C．They try to discover the ability of the interviewees solving problems.‎ D．They just ask questions without thinking much.‎ ‎11．According to the writer，in an aptitude test，Chinese job applicants should________.‎ A．not tell the truth B．learn to tell what they really think C．be more enthusiastic D．try to find out what the examiner really want to know D I still read out loud to my son. He is in fifth grade and an avid reader. He plows through books and is currently devouring (津津有味地看) The Hobbit which he calls “addicting”. But he still likes it when I read out loud to him before bed.‎ I've always read to him, I could probably recite Goodnight Moon by heart and I like to think it has helped to instill his love of reading in him. ‎ But as he's gotten older, reading to him has changed. The books are longer, of course, and sometimes he corrects me if I misread a word in the dim light of his room. But what's really changed is what we both get out of it. ‎ When I was in fifth grade, I had a wonderful teacher, Mr Hanks, who would read aloud to the class after lunch. I remember him reading Roald Dahl's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and me hanging on every word. I could hardly wait for lunch to be over to find out what happened next to little Charlie Bucket. ‎ Now I'm giving the same gift to my own son. Last week he brought me a copy of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol he found on the shelf and asked me to read it to him. One of the bonuses of reading to an older child is that you can revisit a beloved book from your past or be exposed to a book you have never read yourself. ‎ Such was the case with A Christmas Carol which I admit I had never read. So when I started reading I worried that it would be difficult since the book uses expressions and the language Dickens used in the 1840's. I found myself having to define things such as braziers and balustrades. But in the wonderful descriptiveness of Dickens' prose, my son was especially taken with his description of Scrooge's house where he had often played ‎ hideandseek with other friends. ‎ ‎12．When it comes to reading out loud to the author's son, she feels________.‎ A．tired B．curious C．nervous D．happy ‎13．It can be inferred from the text that ________.‎ A．the author's son enjoys her reading to him ‎ B．the author puts too much pressure on her son C．the author's son dislikes reading on his own D．the author finds it unnecessary to read to her son ‎14．Compared with Goodnight Moon, A Christmas Carol ________.‎ A．is much shorter B．is harder to understand ‎ C．is better known to the author D．is more popular with younger children ‎15．The author writes the text in order to ________.‎ A. encourage children to read more books B. recommend some excellent books to readers C. persuade parents to read out loud to their children D. share her experience of reading out loud to her son 第二节：信息匹配（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Both men and women are living longer these days in industrialized countries. ‎16 In general, they can expect to live six or seven years more than men. One reason for this is biological. ‎ One important biological factor that helps women live longer is the difference in hormones between men and women. 17 Between the ages of about 12 and 50, women produce hormones that are involved in fertility(生育能力). These hormones also have a positive effect on the heart and blood flow. In fact, women are less likely to have high blood pressure or to die from heart attacks.‎ ‎18 They help the body defend itself against some kinds of infections. This means that women generally get sick less often and less seriously than men. The common cold is a good example: women, on average, get fewer colds than men.‎ ‎19 Scientists are still not exactly sure how genes influence aging, but they believe ‎ that they do. Some think that a woman’s body cells have a tendency(向) to age more slowly than a man’s. Others think that a man’s body cells have a tendency to age more quickly. ‎ ‎20 ‎ A．However, women, on average, live longer.‎ B .The biological factor plays an important part.‎ C. Women are also helped by their female genes.‎ D. The female hormones also protect the body in another way.‎ E. Recent research seems to support both of these possibilities.‎ F. Therefore, women are more healthy than men and can live a better life.‎ G. Hormones are chemicals which are produced by the body to control various body functions.‎ 第三节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（ABCD）中，选出最佳答案。‎ Mr. Jackson was blind from birth.
