题型描述: 阅读理解The old-fashioned general store is fast disappearing. This is, perhaps, a pity, because shopping today seems to lack that personal element which existed when the shopkeeper knew all his regular customers personally. He could, for instance, remember which brand of tea Mrs.Smith usually bought or what sort of washing-powder Mrs. Jones preferred. Not only was the shop a center of buying and selling, but also a social meeting place. A prosperous general store might have employed four or five assistants, and so there were very few problems in management as far as the staff were concerned. But now that the supermarket has replaced the general store, the job of the manager has changed completely. The modern supermarket manager has to cope with a staff of as many as a hundred apart from all the other everyday problems of running a large business. Every morning the manager must, like the commander of an army division, carry out an inspection of his store to make sure that everything is ready for the business of the day. He must see that everything is running smoothly. He will have to give advice. And make decisions as problems arise, and he must know how to get his huge staff to work efficiently with their respective responsibilities. No matter what he has to do throughout the day, however, the supermarket manager must be ready for any emergency that may arise. They say in the trade that you are not really an experienced supermarket manager until you have dealt with a flood, a fire, a birth and a death in your store.1、 According to the author, it is a pity that there are fewer and fewer old general stores now because traditional commodities are less needed. A. T B. F 2、 6. The main purpose of the passage is to show how the role of the shop manager has undergone an great change. A. F B. T 3、 Mrs. Smith and Mrs. Jones mentioned in the first paragraph represent any of the regular customers of the old general store. A. F B. T 4、 By the last sentence of the passage, the author seems to point out any qualified supermarket manager will surely meet a flood, a fire, a birth and a death some day. A. F B. T 5、 The supermarket manager is compared to a military leader by the author. A. T B. F

题型描述: 阅读理解Do you like to eat out? Do you like to eat quickly? Do you like inexpensive food? Some people go to fast-food restaurants for these reasons. In the past, people usually went to diners（小餐馆）for these reasons. In fact, many people in the States still go to diners today for the same reasons.A man named Walter Scott had the first “diner” in 1872. It wasn’t a real diner. It was only a food cart. People on the street walked up to the cart to buy food. These carts served late-night workers who wanted a cup of coffee and a late-night meal. The meal was a sandwich or boiled eggs. In 1887, Samuel Jones built the first diner big enough to allow the customers to come inside. However, they did not sit down. Later, people built diners with counters and stools, and people sat down while they ate.Before long, many diners stayed open around the clock. In other words, people were able to eat in diner at any time. Diners changed in other ways, too. The original menu of sandwiches and coffee became bigger. It included soup, favorite dishes, and a breakfast menu. In addition, diners soon became permanent buildings. They were no longer carts on wheels.Diners today look similar to the diners of the early 1900s. They are usually buildings with large windows. Inside, the diners have shining counters with stools, booths, and tables and chairs. People can eat all three meals in a modern diner.Today, many people eat in fast-food restaurants such as McDonald’s and Burger King. However, the diner remains an American tradition, and thousands of people still enjoy eating there. It was popular a century ago, and it is still popular today.1、 A man named Walter Scott had the first “diner” in 1872. Why is the word “diner” in quotation marks(引号)？ A.

题型描述: 阅读理解America is growing older. Fifty years ago, only 4 out of every 100 people in the United States were 65 or older. Today, 10 out of every 100 Americans are over 65. The aging of the population will affect American society in many ways — education, medicine, and business. Quietly the graying of America. has made us a very different society — one in which people have a quite different idea of what kind of behavior is suitable at various ages. A person’s age no longer tells you anything about his/her social position, marriage or health. There’s no longer a particular year in which one goes to school or goes to work or gets married or starts a family. The social clock that kept us on time and told us when to go to school, get a job, or stop working isn’t as strong as it used to be. It doesnˊt surprise us to hear of a 29-year-old university president or a 35-year-old grandmother, or a 70-year-old man who has become a father for the first time. Public notions are changing. Many people say, "I am much younger than my mother — or my father — was at my age." No one says "act your age" anymore. Weˊve stopped looking with surprise at older people who act in youthful ways.1、 It can be learnt from the text that the aging of the population in America _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. has changed people’s social position B. has made people feel younger C. has changed people’s understanding of age D. has slowed down the country’s social development 2、 The underlined word “one” refers to _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. America B. a place C. population D. a society 3、 We can infer from the text that if a 25-year-old man becomes general manager of a big firm, the writer would most probably consider it _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. unreasonable B. unbelievable C. wonderful D. normal 4、 “Act your age” means people should _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. do the right thing at the right age B. take more physical exercise suitable to their age C. show respect for their parents young or old D. be active when they are old 5、 This passage is mainly about _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. how older people act in youthful ways in America B. how American people’s ideas about age have changed C. suitable behaviors at different age in American’s eyes D. why American society is different

题型描述: 阅读理解Why do men die earlier than women? The latest research makes it known that the reason could be that men’s hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age.The largest study of the effects of aging on the heart has found that women’s longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age.“We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age,” said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK.“Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the age of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men,” said Goldspink. “This is part of the aging process.”What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old woman’s heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old one’s.“This gender difference might just explain why women live longer than men,” said Goldspink, “The team has yet to find why aging takes a greater loss on the male heart.”The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise.1、 The underlined word “decline” in the first paragraph probably refers to “ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ”. A. health B. refuse C. effect D. weakening 2、 The text mainly talks about _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. women’s aging process B. the gender difference C. men’s heart cells D. hearts and long life 3、 According to the text, the UK scientists have known that _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. women never lose their pumping power with age B. the female heart loses few of the cells with age C. women can replace the cells that enable the heart to beat D. women have more cells than men when they are born 4、 If a man wants to live longer, he can _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. enable his heart to beat much faster B. find out the reason for aging C. prevent his cells from being lost D. exercise regularly to keep his heart healthy 5、 “Why ageing takes greater loss on the male heart” probably mean that _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. why it takes more time for male heart to get old B. why it takes more money on the male heart to get old C. why the male heart loses more of the cells than female in the process of getting old D. why male heart suffers more than female heart on their way of getting old

题型描述: 阅读理解How often one hears children wishing they were grown up, and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.Youth is a time when there are few tasks to make life difficult. If a child has good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved. It is impossible that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child—things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things, or being punished for what he has done wrong.When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If, however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness of building up for himself his own position in society. (271 words)1、 Which of the following is NOT needed for a young man to be happy? A. Health. B. Hard work. C. Being free from troubles. D.

A. face a lot of difficulties B. look after their younger sisters and brothers C. be in charge of many business D. have few things to think about and take on 4、 The pains of children lie in the fact that _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. no one helps them make right decisions B. they can not be accepted and praised by others C. they are not allowed to do what they like to do D. they are often beaten by their parents 5、 Children are usually happy because _ _ _ _ _ _ .

题型描述: 阅读理解What makes a person a scientist? Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others? The answer is "no". It is not the tools a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further, he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his questions and that his answer can be confirmed by other persons. He also works to fit the answers he gets to many questions into a large set of ideas about how the world works.The scientistˊs knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the con?ditions are different, any changes the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the changes in the conditions. This is one reason that investigations are important in sci?ence. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigations, Einsteinˊs ideas were shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.1、 A sound scientific theory should be one that _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. works not only under one set of conditions at one time, but also under the same conditions at other times B. leaves no room for improvement C. can be used for many purposes D. does not allow any changes even under different conditions 2、 What is the main idea of the passage? A. Exactness and ways of using tools are the keys to the making of a scientist. B. Exactness is the core of science. C. The theory of relativity. D. Scientists are different from ordinary people. 3、 "The scientist, however, goes one step further…" The author says this to show _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. the importance of information B. the difference between scientists and ordinary people C. the importance of thinking D. the difference between carpenters and people with other jobs 4、 What makes a scientist according to the passage? A. His ways of learning. B. The way he uses his tools. C. The various tools he uses. D. The tools he uses. 5、 The author quotes the case of Albert Einstein to illustrate _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ . A. that measurements are keys to success in science B. that the mathematical calculations may test his investigations C. that the investigations are important in science D. that accuracy of mathematics

题型描述: 阅读理解In a job interview, the first question is often a “breaking the ice” type of question. Don’t be surprised if the interviewer asks you something like: “How are you today?” or “What do you think of the weather lately?” Answer the question without going into too much detail. Talking about qualifications is the most important part of any job interview. Your qualifications include your education and any special training you may have received in the past. Your qualifications also include your experience in any previous work. It is important to explain what experience you have in detail. Generally, employers want to know exactly what you did and how well you accomplished your tasks. This is not the time to be modest. Try to avoid some big mistakes in the job interview, such as leaving the mobile on and criticizing previous bosses. The worst thing is you yourself have no questions. Having no questions shows you are either not interested or not prepared. Remember that interviewers are more impressed with the questions you ask than the selling points you try to make.
