In Britain, people have different attitudes to the police. Most people generally 1 them and the job they do — although there are certain people who do not believe that the police should have the power that they do.
What does a policeman actually do? It is not a(n) 2 job to describe. After all, a policeman has a number of jobs in one. A policeman often has to control traffic, either on foot in the center of a town, or in a police car on the roads. Indeed, in Britain, he might be in the Traffic Police and spend all, or a lot of, his time 3 up and down main roads and motorways. A traffic policeman has to help keep the traffic moving, stop 4 motorists and help when there is an accident.
A policeman has to help keep the 5 , too. If there is a fight or some other disturbance, we 6 the police to come and restore order. And they often have to 7 situation at great risk to their own 8 .
We expect the police to solve crimes, of course, so an ordinary policeman, 9_ he is not a detective (侦探), will often have to help 10 and arrest criminals.
And who do we call when there is an emergency — an air crash, a 11 , a road accident, or a robbery? We call the police. So a policeman has to be 12 to face any unpleasant emergency that may happen in the 13 world.
The police do an absolutely necessary job. They do it 14 well and I support them, but I do not envy policemen. I do not think that I could 15 do the job of a policeman.

阅读下列短文,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。
A
In the last years of the Warring States period, the State of Qin attacked the State of Wei on a large scale repeatedly and occupied large areas of land, for the State of Wei was too weak to defend itself. In 273 B.C., the Qin army launched a more serious attack upon the State of Wei than ever. The king of the State of Wei gathered his officials, and asked with a worried look if anyone could propose a way to defeat the Qin army. After years of chaos caused by the wars, the officials trembled when fighting was mentioned, and no one dared to speak of resistance.
At the critical moment when a large enemy force was bearing down upon the border, most of the officials persuaded the king to use for peace, at the cost of giving away to the State of Qin the large area of land north of the Huanghe River and south of the Taihang Mountain. However Su Dai, a counselor, did not agree. He hurried up to the king and said: "Your Majesty, they don't think about the interests of the country at all. It is just because they are afraid of death that they ask you to sue for peace by betraying the country. Of course you can temporarily satisfy the ambition of Qin, but it will never stop attacking us until our land is totally given away."
He added." Once there was a man whose house was on fire. People told him to put out the fire with water, but he would not listen. Instead, he carried a faggot to put out the
fire, only to make the fire fiercer. Isn't it similar to carrying faggots to put out a fire if you agree to sue for peace at the cost of the land of the State of Wei?"
Though Su Dai's argument was very convincing, the king accepted the suggestion of those officials and gave away to the State of Qin a large area of the land of the State of Wei. As might be expected, the Qin army attacked the State of Wei in 225 B.C. Again, surrounding the capital city Daliang and flooding it by digging open the dykes(堤防) of the Huanghe River. The State of Wei was finally destroyed.
26. When asked how to defeat the Qin army, most officials .
A. were scared and at a loss what to do
B. looked worried and turned to Su Dai for help

D. were extremely frightened and decided to give up fighting back
27. The underlined phrase "use for" in Paragraph 2 probably means 。
A. demand B. beg for C. search for D. negotiate for
28. Su Dai used the example of "carrying faggots to put out a fire" to show
A. the ambition of the State of Qin
B. the serious results of giving in
C. the loss of the land of the State of Wei
D. the trembling consequences of defense
29. The story is mainly developed by .
A. time B. logic C. neutral D. cause and effect

A. approval B. praise C. neutral D. disapproval

Did you ever look up at the moon and think you saw a man’s face there?When the moon is round and full,the shadows of the moon mountains and the lines of the moon valleys sometimes seem to show a giant nose and mouth and eyes. At least,some people think so.
If there were a man on the moon — instead of mountains and valleys that just look like the face of a man — what would he be like?
He would not be like anyone you know. He would not be like anyone anybody knows.
If the man on the moon were bothered by too much heat or cold the way Earth people are,he could not stay on the moon.
The moon becomes very,very hot. It becomes as hot as boiling water. And the moon becomes very,very cold. It becomes colder than ice.
Whatever part of the moon the sun shines on is hot and bright. The rest of the moon is cold and dark.
If the man on the moon had to breathe to stay alive,he couldn’t live on the moon because there’s no air there.(He’d have to carry an oxygen tank,as astronauts do.) There’s no food on the moon,either. Nothing grows — not even weeds.
If the man on the moon liked to climb mountains,he would be very happy. There are many high places there,such as the raised land around the holes,or craters,of the moon. Some of these rims are as tall as Earth’s highest mountains.
But if the man on the moon liked to swim,he would be unhappy. There is no water on the moon — just dust and rock.
When you think of what it’s like on the moon,you may wonder why it interests our scientists. One reason is that the moon is Earth’s nearest neighbor — it is the easiest place
in space to get to.
Going back and forth between the moon and Earth,astronauts will get a lot of practice in space travel. Things learned on moon trips will be of great help to astronauts who later take long,long trips to some of the planets.
Scientists are also interested in the moon because it has no air. The air that surrounds Earth cuts down the view of the scientists who look at the stars through telescopes. A telescope on the moon would give them a clearer,closer view of the stars.
31.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
A.The Moon B.The Man on the Moon
C.Research on the Moon D.What Is It Like on the Moon?
32.What is the reason why our scientists are interested in the moon?
A.The moon is beautiful.
B.The moon is different from the Earth.
C.The moon is Earth’s nearest neighbor — it is the easiest place in space to get to.
D.The moon is the easiest place in space to get to and it has no air,unlike Earth.
33.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A.The climate on the moon is quite different from that on the Earth.
B.Traveling between the moon and Earth will do much good to astronauts.
C.There is some food and weeds on the moon,even though there’s no air.
D.If you want to drink hot water on the moon,it’s not so hard to boil water.
34.The underlined word “rims” in Paragraph 8 means ________.
A.ball B.hill C.round edge D.height
35.What is the main idea of the passage?
A.We can learn much from research on the moon.
B.There may be human beings on the moon.
C. If there were a man on the moon,there would be many similarities between the man on the moon and on the Earth.
D.A telescope on the moon would help scientists have a clearer,closer sight of the stars.
C
In Western countries people have been using the installment (分期付款) plan since the first half of the twentieth century. Today, a large number of families in Great Britain buy furniture, household goods and cars by installments. In the U.S.A., the figure is much higher than in Great Britain, and people there spend over 10 percent of their income on the installment plan.
The price of an article bought on installments is always higher than the price that would be paid by cash. There is a charge for interest. The buyer pays one quarter or one third of the price as a down payment (预付定金) when the goods are delivered to him. He then makes regular payments, weekly or monthly, until the full price is paid up. The legal ownership of the goods remains with the seller until the final payment has been made.
Installment buying has advantages and disadvantages. It can help couples with small incomes to furnish their homes and start housekeeping. It increases the demand for goods, and in this way helps business and employment. There is, however, the danger that when business is bad, installment buying may end suddenly, making business much worse. This
may result in a great increase in unemployment. If the people on the installment plan lose their jobs, they will probably not be able to make their payments. If great numbers of people are not able to pay their installment debts, there is a possibility that businessmen cannot collect their debts and will therefore lose money. If businessmen lose money or fail to make a satisfactory profit, it becomes more likely to have a depression (萧条). This is why, in some countries, the government controls the installment plan by fixing the amount of the down payment and installments to discourage people from buying more than they can pay for on the installment plan.
36. Which of the following is NOT TRUE about the installment plan?
A. A lot of British families use the installment plan.
B. More than 10 percent of American families buy things on installments.
C. Americans depend more on installment than British people do.
D. Americans spend one tenth of their income on installment buying.
37. Goods bought on installments are more expensive than goods bought by cash because
A. the buyer has to pay extra money as interest
B. the delivery of the goods charges extra money
C. the buyer has to pay a down payment
D. the service offered by installment plan charged extra money
38. What will happen to a buyer if he fails to make the full payment for an item bought on installments?
A. He might lose his job.
B. He will stop owning the item he has bought.
C. He will have to sell what he has bought.
D. He will go into debt.
39. The advantage of installment buying might include all the following EXCEPT that _____.
A. purchasing power is strengthened.
B. employment might be increased
C. people develop a good habit of saving money
D. young couples are able to furnish their homes
40. In some countries, the governments control the installment plan to _____.
A. increase employment
B. avoid depressions
C. ensure that businesses make good profits
D. ensure that people can pay for what they buy
D
The drug store was closing for the night and Alfred Higgins was about to go home when his new boss approached him.
“Empty your pockets please, Alfred,” Sam Carr demanded in a firm voice.
Alfred pretended to be shocked but he knew he’d been caught. From his coat he withdrew a make-up kit, a lipstick and two tubes of toothpaste.
“I’m disappointed in you, Alfred!” said the little gray-haired man.
“Sorry, sir. Please forgive me. It’s the first time I’ve ever done such a thing,” Alfred lied, hoping to gain the old man’s sympathy.
Mr Carr’s brow furrowed as he reached for the phone, “Do you take me for a fool? Let’s see what the police have to say. But first I’ll call your mother and let her know her son is heading to jail.”
“Do whatever you want,” Alfred shot back, trying to sound big. But deep down he felt like a child. He imagined his mother rushing in, eyes burning with anger, maybe in tears. Yet he wanted her to come quickly before Mr. Carr called the police.
Mr. Carr was surprised when Mrs Higgins finally arrived. She was very calm, quiet and friendly. “Is Alfred in trouble?” she asked.
“He’s been stealing from the store,” the old man coolly replied.
Mrs. Higgins put out her hand and touched Mr. Carr’s arm with great gentleness as if she knew just how he felt. She spoke as if she did not want to cause him any more trouble. “What do you want to do, Mr. Carr?”
The woman’s calm and gentle manner disarmed the once-angry store-owner. “I was going to get a cop. But I don’t want to be cruel. Tell your son not to come back here again, and I’ll let it go.” Then he warmly shook Mrs. Higgins’s hand.
Mrs. Higgins thanked the old man for his kindness, then mother and son left. They walked along the street in silence. When they arrived home his mother simply said, “Go to bed, you fool.”
In his bedroom, Alfred heard his mother in the kitchen. He felt no shame, only pride in his mother’s actions. “She was smooth!” he thought. He went to the kitchen to tell her how great she was, but was shocked by what he saw.
His mother’s face looked frightened, broken. Not the cool, bright face he saw earlier.
Her lips moved nervously. She looked very old. There were tears in her eyes.
This picture of his mother made him want to cry. He felt his youth ending. He saw all the troubles he brought her and the deep lines of worry in her grey face. It seemed to him that this was the first time he had ever really seen his mother.
41. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. It was the first time Alfred had stolen anything.
B. Alfred tried to sound big to hide his fear.
C. Mr. Carr set a trap to catch Alfred stealing.
D. Mr. Carr had planned to forgive Alfred from the beginning.
42. What does the underlined word “disarmed” probably mean?
A. annoyed B. made less angry C. convinced D. got over
43. What was the mother’s attitude toward Alfred?
A. She felt disappointed with him. B. She was very strict with him.
C. She was supportive of him. D. She was afraid of him.
44. What impressed Alfred most about his mother at the drugstore was ________.
A. how angry she was B. that she didn’t cry
C. that she was able to save him D. how effectively she handled Mr. Carr
45. From the last paragraph, we know that Alfred ________.
A. was no longer a youth B. felt proud of his mother
C. wanted his mother to be happy
D. felt guilty and regretful for his deed

For most people,the word “fashion” means “clothes". When people ask the question,“What's in fashion in Italy?”they normally mean,“What clothes are in fashion?” And they use the adjective “fashionable” in the same way. “She was wearing some fashionable boots.” "His shirt has a really fashionable color.”
But,of course,there are fashions in many things,not only in clothes. There are fashions in holidays,in restaurants,in films and books. There are even fashions in university courses,jobs and in languages.
Fashions change naturally.If you look at pictures of people or objects from the past,you will see that fashions have always changed,An English house of 1750 was different from one of 1650.A fashionable man in 1780 looked very different from his grandson in1860.
Nowadays,fashions change very quickly. Some of this is natural. We hear about things much more quickly than in the past. Newspapers,radios,telex and televisions send information from one country to another in a few hours.New fashions mean that
people will buy new things. There is money in fashion.

When I learnt that I’d been finally accepted as a volunteer for the Asian Games, I was very excited. I had been looking forward to it with such expectation, but the news that I was assigned to do the laundry work in the Asian Games Village left me a little disappointed. Every day, I needed to wash about 1000 items/article of clothing, which was really boring and tiresome. But knowing that it was a good chance to improve myself, I was determined to try my best to complete the job. In the end, I was selected as an excellent volunteer and the 16 days was a once-in-a-life-time experience, even if I was only washing clothes.

One possible version:
Fashion,for most people,is all about clothes. However,it has a large content,including fashions in holiday,university courses and so on. Great changes have taken place in fashion,which leads to differences between generations and times.
Nowadays,spreading through a variety of channels,fashions change more quickly,attracting more and more people's attention. As far as I know,many students are extremely crazy about fashions. They are familiar with what is in at the moment. Influenced by film stars,some are even willing to spend lots of money and time making themselves fashionable.
In my opinion,following fashions can add excitement to our boring life. But too much attention paid to them will affect our study and even future development. What's more,we can enlarge the content of fashions. For example,the positive spirits of strong-minded people can be in fashion as well. Encouraged by those spirits,we can overcome difficulties in our life and study.
In conclusion,we should have a cool head,trying to seek fashions that are positive and make full use of their advantages. Don't go after fashions blindly.
