really a great challenge.at the same time, my mother was in the final stages of cancer.i worked during the day and drove 40 miles home to be with her every night. it was tiring and stressful, but it was what i wanted to do. my commitment was to continue to do excellent consulting during the day, even though my evenings were very hard. i didnt want to bother the president with my situation, yet i felt someone at the company needed to know what was going on. so i told the vice-president of human resources, asking him not to share the information with anyone.a few days later, the president called me into his office.i figured he wanted to talk to me about one of the many issues we were working on. when i entered, he asked me to sit down. he faced me from across his large desk, looked me in the eye and said, “i hear your mother is very ill”.i was totally caught by surprise and burst into tears. he just looked at me, let my crying subside(平息), and then gently said a sentence i will never forget: whatever you need.that was it. his understanding and his willingness both to let me be in my pain and to offer me everything were qualities of sympathy that i carry with me to this day.41when the author was working in a beer company, his mother .awas concerned about himbdrew the presidents attentioncwas seriously ill dwas proud of her son42although he felt tired and stressed, he felt it his duty .ato carry out their new strategic visionbto avoid bothering the presidentcto tell the vice-president his difficult situationdto do his job well and look after his mother43most

president?aconsiderate. bintelligent.chonest. dconsultative.45which of the following can be the best title of this passage?aunderstanding is everywherebgenerous presidentcsympathy is neededdan unforgettable memorybobviously television has both advantages and disadvantages.in the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a comparatively cheap one. with a tv set in the family people dont have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, the cinema, or the opera .all they have to do is to push a button or turn a knob, and they can see plays, films, operas and shows of every kind. some people, however, think that this is where the danger lies. the television viewers need do nothing. he does not even have to use his legs if he has a remote control. he makes no choice and exercises, no judgment. he is completely passive and has everything presented to him without any effort in his part.television, it is often said, keeps one informed about current events and the latest developments in science and politics. the most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into ones sitting room. it could be argued that the radio performs this service as well; but on television everything is much more living, much more real. yet here again there is a danger. the television screen itself has a terrible, almost physical charm for us. we get so used to looking at the movements on it ,so dependent on its pictures, that it begins to control our lives. people are often heard to say that their television sets have broken down and that they have suddenly found that they have far more time to do things and that they have actually begin to talk to each other again. it makes one think, doesnt it?there are many other arguments for and against television. we must realize that television itself is neither good nor bad. it is the uses that it is put to that determine its value to society.46. what is the major function of paragraph 1? a. to arouse the readers concernb. to introduce the theme of the whole passage c. to summarize the whole passage d. to state the primary uses of tv47. television, as a source of entertainment, is _.a. not very convenient b. very expensive c. quite dangerous d. relatively cheap48. why are some people against tv?a. because tv programs are not interesting.b. because tv viewers are totally passive.c. because tv prices are very high. d. because tv has both advantages and disadvantages. 49. one of the most obvious advantages of tv is that _.a. it keeps us informed b. it is very cheap c. it enables us to have a rest d. it controls our lives 50. according to the passage, whether tv is good or not depends on _ .a. its quality b. peoples attitude towards it c. how we use it d. when we use it ca few days ago, i was sitting in a thai restaurant enjoying a meal when i got on a phone call from a friend i hadnt spoken to in a long time. in my enthusiasm and excitement, i talked quite louder than usual voice and in spanish, my mother tongue. a few minutes into the call, an old lady sitting at the table beside mine got up, seemingly offended, and asked the restaurant staff to relocate(重新安排) a table as far away as possible from this man who seemed to be impolite.i sank in my seat out of embarrassment. i ended the call soon afterwards and felt the urge to apologize. before getting up, i looked around to see where she was and she was at the table farthest away from me. i noticed that the lady was alone and staring out the window. i found a tinge (气息) of sadness or anxiety and perhaps a desire for aloneness and peace. but i had obviously destroyed it minutes earlier.right then i abandoned my plan for a conventional apologetic gesture. seeing those funny smile cards in my wallet, i took one out and wrote some words to express my apology. on signing my restaurant bill, i asked a waiter to secretly charge the ladys meal to me and hand her the smile card instead of her bill.did she take it the wrong way, i wondered? did she get confused? did she refuse the anonymous offer? and so on. i just waited and felt nervous to learn the outcome. to my pleasant surprise, things turned out the best possible way.the waiter approached me in a joy, telling me, “in the many times she had dined here before, i had never seen the old lady smile as she did when receiving the smile card and the $0 bill. she thanked me even though i explained that someone else did the job.”51. the old lady changed her seat mainly because of _.a. her private phone callb. the authors loud voicec. the views out of the windowd. the restaurant staffs mistake52. what can we infer from paragraph 3?a. the author didnt stop talking though he felt embarrassed.b. the author went up

the old lady the following except _.a. an apologetic gesture b. a smile cardc. a free meal d. some written words to apologize54. why did the author say, “ things turned out the best possible way”?a. because the waiter became joyful.b. because the old lady forgave him.c. because he didnt need to pay the bill.d. because someone else did the job for him. 55. which of the following is the best title of this passage?a. a misunderstanding caused by different cultures b. an unpleasant experience in thailandc. a smile card for a sincere apologyd. an old lady who never smilesdscience cant explain the power of pets, but many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack, reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer. any owner will tell you how much joy a pet brings. for some, an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife. a 2002 study by karen allen of the state university of new york measured stress(紧张) levels and blood pressure in peoplehalf of them pet ownerswhile they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic(心算) or held a hand in ice water. subjects completed the tasks alone, with a husband/wife, a close friend or with a pet. people with pets did it best. those tested with their animal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quick to base line heart rates. with pets in the room, people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions. it seems people feel more relaxed around pets, says allen, who thinks it may be because pets dont judge. a study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits. researchers at northwestern memorial hospital spent a year studying 36 fat people and their equally fat dogs on diet-and-exercise programs; a separate group of 56 people without pets were put on a diet program. on average, people lost about 11 pounds, or 5% of their body weight. dog owners didnt lose any more weight than those without dogs but, say researchers, got more exercise overallmostly with their dogsand found it worth doing.56. the underlined word “subjects” refers to _. a. what students learned at school b. people that were studied c. those who had pets with them d. those people without pets 57. a person with heart disease has a better chance of getting well if _.a. he has a pet companion b. he has less stress of workc. he often does mental arithmetic d. he is taken care of by his family58. why did the people do better with pets around when facing stressful tasks?a. they have lower blood pressure. b. they become more patient.c. they are less nervous. d. they are in higher spirits.59. the research mentioned in the last paragraph reports that _.a. people with dogs did more exercise b. dogs lost the same weight as people didc. dogs liked exercise much more than people didd. people without dogs found the program unhelpful60. what does the text mainly discuss?a. what pets bring to their owners. b. how pets help people calm down.c. peoples opinions of keeping pets. d. pets value in medical research.第二节
