Weight: 240g.2）Sony M9 $49.95Small and very good looking, sonys latest offering scored most for appearance. Sounds clear, but there is slight machine noise.

Weight: 195g.3）Sony M400 $115Lots of little control buttons that make a noise and are difficult to use . Recording was good but machine noise lost points.

War is an ancient custom which has existed for at least six thousand years. It was always evil and usually foolish, but in the past the human race managed to live with it. Modern skill has changed this. Either man will stop war, or war will stop man. For the present, it is nuclear weapons that cause the greatest danger, but bacteriological( 细菌的 ) or chemical weapons may, before long, offer an even greater threat. If we succeeded in stopping war, there would be no danger for us. To do this, we need to persuade mankind to look upon international questions in a new way, not by contests of force, in which the victory goes to the side which is most skillful in massacre (大屠杀 ),but by judging in accordance with agreed rules of law. It is not easy to change old mental habits, but this is what must be attempted.There are those who say that the adoption of this or that ideology (意识形态)would prevent war. I believe this to be a complete error. All ideologies are based upon beliefs without proof which are, at best, doubtful, and at worst, totally false. Those people who believe them are willing to go to war in support of them.The movement of world opinion during the past two years has changed very largely such as we can welcome. It has become a common belief that nuclear war must be avoided. Of course, very difficult problems remain in the international world, but the spirit in which they are being approached is a better one than it was some years ago. It has begun to be thought, even by the powerful men who decide whether we shall live or die, that agreements should be reached even if both sides do not find these agreements wholly satisfactory. It has begun to be understood that the important conflict nowadays is not between East and West, but between Man and the bomb.24.From the first paragraph we can know that _ _.Adangerous weapons are forbidden in modern societyBwe may face greater threat from weaponsCmans idea of victory has changedDdangerous weapons can stop war25.From the passage we can know _.Ait is impossible to live without warBwar will be stopped by modern skillCwar must be stopped if man wants to surviveDthe difference between East and West will cause war 26.The author believes that the only way to stop war is to_.Atake possession of stronger weaponsBlet the stronger side take over the worldCsettle international issues through agreements Ddestroy bacteriological and chemical weapons 27.Which of the following words can best describe the authors feeling in writing this passage?ADisappointed.BDoubtful.CWorried.DHopeful.CTwo of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they convey regret, lost opportunities, mistakes, and disappointment. My father is famous in our family for saying, “Take the extra minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “extra minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something minor like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a counter, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table. I dont only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. Its equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone an opportunity to say “I love you” or “I forgive you.” When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldnt be here. But then I thought about the fact that hes 84 years old and I realized that I shouldnt give up an opportunity to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all.I know there will still be occasions when I have to say “if only” about something, but my life is definitely better because of my policy of doing everything possible to avoid that eventuality. And even though it takes an extra minute to do something right, or it occasionally takes an hour or two in my busy schedule to make a personal connection, I know that Im doing the right thing. Im buying myself peace of mind and thats the best kind of insurance for my emotional well-being. 28.Which of the following is an example of the “extra minute” rule? A. Start the car the moment everyone is seated. B. Leave the room for a minute with the iron working. C. Wait for an extra minute so that the steak tastes better. D. Move an object out of the way before it trips someone. 29.The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to _. A. keep her appointment with the eye doctor B. meet her father who was already an old man C. join in the holiday celebration of the company D. finish her work before the deadline approached30.The underlined word “foregone” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _. A. abandoned B. lacked C. avoidedD. wasted31.W hat is the best title for the passage? A. The Emotional Well-being B. The Two Saddest Words C. The Most Useful Rule D. The Peace of Mind DPeople in the United States honor their parents with two special days: Mothers Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Fathers Day, on the third Sunday in June.Mothers Day was proclaimed ( 公告) a day for national observance by President Woodrow Wilson in 1915. Ann Jarvis from Grafton, West Virginia, had started the idea to have a day to honor mothers. She was the one who chose the second Sunday in May and also began the custom of wearing a carnation.In 1909, Mrs. Dodd from Spokane, Washington, thought of the idea of a day to honor fathers. She wanted to honor her own father, William Smart. After her mother died, he had the responsibility of raising a family of five sons and a daughter. In 1910, the first Fathers Day was observed in Spokane. Senator Margaret Chase Smith helped to established Fathers Day as a national commemorative （ 纪念）day, in 1972.These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care.These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mothers Day people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes ( 象征) a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is deadMany people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery. On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Fathers Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.32According to the passage, which of the following about the second Sunday in May is not true ? AIt is a day to show love to mothers BIt is a day to wear carnations CIt is a day for people to visit the cemetery DIt is a day for many people to attend religious services33Who plays the most important role in Fathers Day becoming a national commemorative day? AMrs. Dodd BMargaret Chase Smith CAnn Jarvis DWoodrow Wilson34From the passage, we know in the U.S _. Aone should wear a red carnation if ones mother pass away Bon Mothers Day, families often go out to have barbecues C on Fathers Day, people often stay at home to celebrate the special day. DThe purpose to have these two special days is to show love to parents35The authors purpose of writing this passage is to _ Acall on people to love and respect their parents. Bintroduce Mothers Day and Fathers Day. Ctell the difference between Mothers Day and Fathers Day Dshow how important fathers and mothers are第二节：（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10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，有两项为多余选项。 How to be more friendly and socialIf you tend to be shy, it can feel uncomfortable to put yourself out there socially. 36 You can make the extra effort to be more friendly and open to others, while still keeping your own personality.37 The key to connecting to other people is showing interest in them. When youre truly interested in someone elses thoughts, feelings, experiences, stories, and opinions, they ll like you for it. Youll make far more friends by showing your interest rather than trying to get people interested in you.Be genuine (真诚的). 38 If youre just pretending to listen or care, others will pick up on it. Rather than promoting greater connection, your efforts will likely have the opposite effect. No one likes to be manipulated (摆布). If youre not actually interested in the other person, then stop trying to connect.Pay attention. 39 By paying close attention to what they say and how they interact, youll quickly get to know them. 40 Dont ignore the details, such as remembering someones preferences, the stories theyve told you, and whats going on in their life.A. Faking (伪装) takes talent.B. Focus on others, not yourself.C. Little things go a long way.D. Getting to know them is the key.E. Make an effort to truly listen to the other person.F. Showing interest in others cant be faked.G. But you dont have to be naturally outgoing or the life of the party to make new friends.第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。A couple of weeks ago, I made a trip to Toronto with my granddaughter who just turned three years old. The two of us were on our way to 41 her parents and my wife, her 42 who had been gone for over a week. We were all anxious to 43 again. As I pulled out of Mamere and Paperes driverway in Chelmsford, Hailee and I were both 44 about the trip and couldnt wait to arrive at our 45 .When we completed the“SEVEN”-hour trip to Toronto later that day, the reunion was absolutely 46 and I can sincerely say I enjoyed every single minute of that 47 journey.Hailee is at that “I want to 48 it myself” stage of her life. And if you can just get over the “hurry-up syndrome (综合征)” we acquire as 49 , it is wonderful to witness that putting a straw into the 50 in a juice box for the very first time could be such an earth-shattering（惊天动地的）event or being 51 enough to actually open the fridge door for the first time or putting on your own 52 on the right feet would be so 53 ?Ill never forget the look on her face the day she was able to 54 into my truck by herself. She finally 55 on my seat, holding onto the steering wheel (方向盘) and declared 56 “I did it!” And when she could actually put her own seat belt on, what a(n) 57 !Have you ever watched a three-year-old 58 to sip (啜_饮) a McDonalds milkshake through a straw?
