24、to pick up a friend at the airport, I had one of those life changing experiences. While waiting, I noticed a man coming toward me carrying two bags. He stopped right next to me to greet his family.First, he greeted his younger son as he laid down his bags. They gave each other a long and loving hug.

25、 I heard the father say, “Its so good to see you, son. I miss you so much!” His son smiled somewhat shyly, and replied softly, “Me too, Dad!”Then the man stood up, looked at his older son and said, “Youre already quite a young man. I love you very much!” They hugged a most loving hug.While this was

26、happening, a baby girl was squirming（来回扭动）excitedly in her mothers arms. The man said, “Hi, baby!” as he gently took the child from her mother. He quickly kissed her face all over and then held her close to his chest.After several moments, he handed his daughter to his older son and declared, “Ive s

27、aved the best for last!” and gave his wife the long, deepest kiss I ever remember seeing. He looked at her eyes for several seconds and then quickly said, “I love you so much!” For an instant, they reminded me of newly-weds but I knew they couldnt be. I was puzzled about it for a moment, then realiz

28、ed how totally I was lost in the wonderful show of unconditionally love not more than an arms length away from me. I suddenly felt uncomfortable, as if I were invading something sacred, but was surprised to hear my own voice nervously ask, “Wow! How long have you two been married?”“Fourteen years,”

29、he replied without leaving his eyes from his wifes face.“Then how long have you been away?” The man finally looked at me, still giving his joyous smile and told me, “Two whole days!”59.The author got the life changing experience while _.A. helping carry bags for passengersB. chatting with his friend

32、ent greetings in different culturesD. Similar scenes the author had seen before.CThe history of email is older than the Internet. It was not really invented but developed from simple beginnings. Email messages at first were not sent; they were left behind like leaving a note on someones desk. This m

33、essage would be easily seen by the user when logged on.The first email system of this type was called MAILBOX. It was used in 1965 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. SNDNSG was another early program that could send messages on the same computer. Thus before the arrival of the Internet, em

34、ail messaging was only done with the same computer. When the Internet was developed, the problem at the time was sending the message to the right person. While the computers could recognize and talk to each other, identifying（证实）a particular person to receive the email message was not simple at all.

35、Addressing the email message was invented in1972 by Ray Tomlinson. He chose “” from the keyboard for denoting（标明） sending messages from one computer to the other. Since then, using the Internet to send an email message has been simple. Other email features such as labeling and sorting email in folde

36、rs came later. Larry Roberts invented some email folders for his boss for sorting his email; it was a big step forward. Later, John Vital developed a software in 1975 for organizing email.It was difficult to connect to the Internet and make replies. Offline readers helped a lot to solve this problem

37、. It allowed users to store their email on their personal computers, then read them and prepare replies without being connected to the network. This is similar to todays Microsoft Outlook.63.We know that the earliest email messages were _.A. sent among several computersB. not sent but left behind on

38、 a computerC. not easy to be seen by the computer userD. often read by the user without being logged on64.When the Internet was developed, the problem that people faced was how to _.A. talk to other computersB. receive email messages in time C. recognize other computersD. send email messages to the

39、right person65.What is the CORRECT time order of the following events? A software used for organizing email was developed. The symbol “” was chosen for denoting sending messages. MAILBOX was first used. The function of sorting email in folders was developed.A. B. C. D. 66.What is the passage mainly

40、about?A. The relationship between email and the Internet.B. The importance of the invention of the Internet.C. A short history of email messaging.D. Different ways to send email.DDo you often find yourself buried in lots of work and not knowing where to start? Or, are you often rushing to meet deadl

41、ines? This is a common problem for many managers with an increasing workload. At a very important time, it makes us nervous to achieve goals on time, which in turn can hurt the quality of our work. Becoming more organized in your working style can help make for a smoother sail at work.Plan ahead: Th

42、is is an obvious starting point, but the key is to stick to it, and to keep revising plans as things change. Set both long-term plans as well as a daily list of tasks. “Put things on your calendar rather than let things lead the calendar”, says Ongmu Gombu. “This calendar should list tasks by priori

43、ty（优先）, with the most important task placing at number one,” says Mr. Gombu. Planning ahead will help you gain a task that comes seasonally.Prioritize: Once you know what needs to be done, be clear about what to do first. If you need help deciding, talk to your boss. Another way of prioritizing task

44、s is by understanding what has more impact on the business. An important part of prioritizing is to finish your work even if you have a comfortable deadline.Keep cool: Often your well-planned and well-prioritized list will be thrown away by an event outside your control. Dont let this put you totall

45、y off track. Keep yourself cool, because getting nervous and stressed about all that needs to be done will probably make you mad. Take a few deep breaths, and start with the most important task first. If you cant decide one of two tasks, just pick one by throwing a coin. By doing this, you at least

46、start moving toward your goal rather than wasting time.Get help: When work comes at the same time and it seems like everything has to be done right away, seek help from your co-workers. This will ease the pressure and help you do a better job. Its a two-way road, so be ready to help your co-workers

47、in their times of need. Or even better, volunteer to do so when you have time. If you are a manager, groom your team members for more senior roles and give them power to make decisions so that you can rely on them when needed.67.Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?A. How t

48、o better manage your timeB. My opinions on timeC. Time is importantD. Nervous or easy 68.From the passage, we can know that _.A. planning ahead is the most important thing to finish your workB. you can pick tasks by throwing a coin whenever and whereverC. it is wise to do your tasks just on your own

49、 every timeD. it is important to learn what to do first after you decide your tasks69.The underlined word “groom” in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by “_”.A. controlB. leadC. trainD. praise70.The passage is most likely to be chosen from a _.A. personal diaryB. career（事业）magazineC. travel guideD. scienc

50、e report第II卷 非选择题（两部分，共35分）第四部分：任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题0.5分，满分5分）请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应的横线上。Recycling means transforming used materials into useful products. So recycling is the processing of waste materials in order to make them reusable. In this process these used

51、materials are stored and processed to be used as “raw materials” for the production of new products. Used plastic bottles, glass, and newspapers can be effectively recycled.The process of recycling protects the environment. For instance, we know that paper is manufactured from trees. As the demand f

52、or paper increases, a number of trees are being cut to produce paper. By recycling paper, we can prevent the destruction of forests. Today, a number of forests are being destroyed to meet the ever increasing demand for paper. Believe it or not, recycling a ton of used paper is bound to save twelve t

53、rees, which in turn saves our natural resources.Processing raw materials needs a considerable amount of energy resources. Recycling used materials reduces energy requirements in many manufacturing processes, which can greatly reduce the pressure on energy resources. We all know that pollution does e

54、xist in our daily life in the form of plastic, empty cans, chemicals and ordinary waste. So recycling is an effective solution to this problem.As the old saying goes, “Every coin has two sides.” While recycling has many positive effects, there are also some negative effects of recycling.If recycling

55、 is not managed properly, the dump can severely damage the surrounding environment. Also harmful chemicals in the trash can mix into water and soil. This can cause water and soil pollution and harm plants and fish in the streams and lakes. When it gets mixed with rainwater, a poisonous mixture is fo

56、rmed. This mixture can be highly dangerous if it reaches the water supplies. When rainwater falls on open dumps, most of the polluted water runs deep into the ground and pollutes the ground water.There is no guarantee that the new recycled products will be of good quality. This is because recycling involves manufacturing products from used materials.Although many find plastic convenient for everyday use, it is quite difficult to recycle this material. There are different kinds of plas
