It was my birthday last Thursday. I decided to 36 by inviting a few friends out to supper. I chose a restaurant in a 37 part of town. It is one of my favorite restaurants because the food is good and the waiters are friendly. It is 38 ever crowded, because not many people know about it, so it is not usually 39 to book a table.

When we entered the restaurant, we were surprised to find it completely 41 . I looked around but not 42 table was free. One of the waiters recognized me.

48 our table was almost out of sight. We tried to call the attention of the waiter 49 sent us there, but he, like all the other waiters, 50 the party of tourism. They ordered lots of food.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题，每小题2分，共40分） A

A firm handshake is key to interview success. As any serious job-hunter knows, it helps to dress smartly and smile at that all-important interview. But research has showed that a firm handshake is what really matters when it comes to impressing potential employers. The US research looked at 98 undergraduates taking part in mock (模拟) interviews with businesses. As each undergraduate was graded on their overall performance, five \"handshake raters\" also marked them on their grasp, strength, duration, vigor and eye contact. Professor Greg Stewart, from the University of Iowa, who led the study, said those who scored highly with the handshake raters were also considered to be the most hirable by the interviewers. Students with \" wimpy\"（虚弱的） shakes were judged to be more timid and less impressive.

3

The study also found women with a firm handshake were likely to be evaluated more favorably than their male counterparts. Professor Stewart said: \"We've always heard that interviewers make up their mind about a person in the first two or three minutes of an interview. But we found that the first impression begins with a handshake that sets the tone for the rest of the interview. We don't consciously remember a person's handshake but it is one of the first non-verbal clues we get about the person's overall personality, and that impression is what we remember.\" Women were less likely to have a highly rated handshake, partly because traditionally they shake hands less than men. But when women did possess a firm handshake, they were likely to be evaluated more favorably than their male counterparts. Body language experts warn, however, that the firmness needs to be just right, - as an over enthusiastic \"bone crusher\" handshake can indicate self-importance, a controlling personality and a lack of trustworthiness. The handshake is thought to have originated in medieval Europe as a way for kings and knights to show that they did not intend to harm each other and possessed no hidden weapons. 56. The passage is probably intended for ______. A. job-hunters B. an undergraduate C. employers D. handshake raters 57. From the first paragraph we know that in an interview ______. A. dressing smartly is more important than a firm handshake B. smile has no effect on impressing potential employers C. a firm handshake is more important than dressing smartly, and smile D. dressing smartly, smile and a firm handshake are of the same importance 58. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A. The firmer your handshake is the better impression you leave. B. The undergraduates without a firm handshake are thought to be less impressive. C. Generally speaking, women shake hands less with others. D. It's said that the handshake dates back to medieval Europe. 59. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Women with a firm handshake were likely to leave a better impression than men. B. A successful job interview starts with a firm handshake.

C. Dressing, smile and a firm handshake are all important to a successful job interview. D. Job interview success depends on interviewees' body language.

B

Having returned from her round trip, the angry woman stood outside the ticket office of the station. “The railway owes me ￡12,” she said to Harry Jenks, the young man working at the office . “You sold me a ticket for May 22nd, but there was no ship from Jersey that night. So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It cost me ￡12.” Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. “Come into the office, Madam,” he said politely. “I’ll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd.” The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There was no sailing on May 22nd. How could he have made such a careless mistake? He shouldn’t have sold her a ticket for that day. Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. “You look sun burnt,” he said to her. “Did you have a nice holiday in Jersey?” “Yes,” she answered, shyly. “The beach was lovely. And I can swim too!” “That’s fine,” said Harry. “My little girl can’t swim a bit yet .Of course, she’s only three„” “I’m four,” the child said proudly. “I’ll be four and a half.” Harry turned to the mother. “I remember your ticket, Madam,” he said. “But you didn’t get one for your daughter, did you?” “Er, well—” the woman looked at the child. “I mean„ she hasn’t started school yet. She’s only four.” “A four-year-old child must have a ticket, Madam. A child’s return ticket to Jersey costs „let me see„￡13.50. So if the railway pays your hotel, you will owe ￡1.50. The law is the law, but since the fault was mine„” The woman stood up, took the child’s hand and left the office. 60．Harry was worried because ___ . A．the woman was angry with him B．he had not done his work properly C．the Jersey timetable was wrong D．the little girl didn’t have a return ticket

C

The weather predictions for Asia in 2050 read like a story from a doomsday movie． Many experts and green groups fear they will come true unless there is a united global effort to hold back greenhouse gas outpouring．In the decades to come, Asia—home to more than half the world's 7 billion people—will change from one climate extreme to another, with tired farmers battling droughts, floods, disease, food shortages and rising sea levels．

\"It's not a pretty picture,\" said Steve Sawyer, climate policy adviser with Greenpeace in Amsterdam．Global warming and changes of weather patterns are already occurring and there is more than enough carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere to drive climate change for decades to come． Already, changes are being felt in Asia but worse is likely to come．Sawyer and top climate bodies say, and could lead to mass migration and widespread human disasters．According to predictions, icebergs will melt faster, some Pacific and Indian Ocean islands will have to evacuate or build sea defenses, storms will become stronger and insects and water-borne diseases will move into new areas as the world warms． All this comes on top of rising populations and demand for food, water and other resources．Experts say environmental worsening such as deforestation and pollution will likely enlarge the results of climate change． In what could be a sign of the future, Japan was hit by a record of 10 typhoons and tropical storms this year, while two - thirds of Bangladesh, parts of Nepal and large areas of northeastern India were flooded, affecting 50 million people, destroying livelihoods and making tens of thousands ill． The year before, a winter cold strike and a summer heat wave killed more than 2,000 people in India．

65．This passage is mainly about ____ ． A．present situation and predictions of environmental problems in Asia. B．the weather predictions for Asia in the future and the reasons C．how to improve our environment D．reasons why the world will no longer be suitable for us to live in

66．In the future the Asian farmers will have to face the following except _ ___ ． A．food shortages B．droughts C．wars D．floods 67．The underlined word \"doomsday\" in the first paragraph may mean___ _ ． A．the hell B．the end of the world C．a great world war D．disaster 68．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage? A．Asian climate will change greatly． B．Some islands may be flooded in the future． C．More than 50 million people have been ill in Asia the year before． D．People may meet with some new diseases borne from water．

The Success of McDonald's

5

In 15,a man named Raymond Kroc entered a partnership(合营公司)with two brothers named McDonald. They opened a popular restaurant in California which sold food that was easy to prepare and serve quickly. Hamburgers, French fries, and cold drinks were the main food there. Kroc opened similar eating places under the same name “McDonald”, and they were an instant(立即的)success. He later took over the company, and today it is one of the most famous and successful “fast-food” in America and the world.

Why was his idea so successful? Probably the most important reason was that his timing was right. In the 1950s, most married women stayed home to keep house and take care of their children. In the 1960s, many women returned to the workplace, this meant that they had less time and energy to do housework and preparations for meals so they relied more on “TV dinners” and fast-food restaurants. Single parents also have little time to spend in the kitchen. People living alone also depend on this type of food, since cooking for one is often more trouble than it is worth.

`Fast-food is not part of the diet of all Americans. Another trend(倾向)of the 1960s,sometimes called the back-to-nature movement influenced(影响)many people to avoid food that was packaged or processed .This preference for natural foods continues to this day.

From the success of Raymond Kroc's fast-food business, we can say that social economic trends influence where and what we eat.

69. Americans had the back-to-nature movements _________.

A. in 1955 B. in 1950s C. in 1960s D. both in 1950s and

1960s

70. Why was McDonald’s idea so successful? It was mainly because _________.

A. people living alone depend on fast-food

B. single parents have little time to spend in the kitchen C. many women returned to the workplace in 1960s D. his timing was right

71. The main idea of the passage is that _________.

A. Raymond Kroc is the most successful fast-food business owner in the world B. Social and economic changes affect(影响)eating habits C. Fast-food is easy to prepare and serve quickly D. Americans rat either fast-food or natural food

E

As nanny(保姆), cook, cleaner, shopper, driver, and gardener, she has one of the most demanding jobs in Britain today. And paying someone else to do the chores(家务活) which take the average housewife 71 hours a week would cost €349.

At over €18,000 a year that’s more than the earnings of 70 percent of the population, including train drivers, firemen, prison officers, and social workers. Looking after a baby less than a year old takes a housewife into a even higher pay league. According to a study, she earns €457 a week – at nearly €24,000 a year, the same as teachers, engineers, and chemists. Researchers put a price on each chore, then tried to find out how long the average person takes doing them. They found housewives spend an average 70.7 hours a week on housework – with looking after the children (17.9hours) and cooking and cleaning (12.9 hours each) the most time-consuming(费时). A wife with a part-time job still works an average of 59 hours a week at home. Those in full-time employment put in longer hours at home than in the workplace. The good news is that these hours drop sharply as children get older. While the average mother with a child under one puts in 90 hours weekly, the figure drops to 80 hours from one to four and to 66 hours from five to ten.

Mother-of-four Karen Williams from London said, “Paying the housewives may not be practical, but the government should recognize the value of housework, perhaps through the tax. Running a house takes a lot of time and most husbands don’t understand this. For example, my husband only puts a shelf up now and again. He never cleans the kitchen – that’s the real test.

72. Who earns most according to the text? A. A social worker. B. A fireman. C. A gardener. D. A teacher.

73. We learn from the text that looking after children ______. A. takes more time than doing any other housework B. means more duties than being a teacher

6

C. requires the mother to be well-educated D. prevents the mother from working outside

74. According to the text, a housewife with a baby less than one year old may work _____. A. 66 hours a week B. 71 hours a week C. 80 hours a week D. 90 hours a week 75. By mentioning her husband, Karen Williams wants to show that ______. A. housework is no easy job B. her husband has no time to clean the kitchen

C. a housewife needs to be paid for cleaning D. the kitchen is hard to clean
