25、选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Margaret, married with two small children, has been working for the last seven years as a night cleaner, cleaning offices in a big building. She trained as a nurse, but had to give it up when her elder child became seriously ill. "I would have liked to go back t

26、o it, but the shifts （工作班次） are all wrong for me, as I have to be home to get the children up and off to school." So she works as a cleaner instead, from 9 p.m. till 6 a.m. five nights a week for just 90, before tax and insurance. "It's better than it was last year, but I still think t

27、hat people who work 'unsocial hours' should get a bit extra." The hours she's chosen to work mean that she sees plenty of the children, but very little of her husband. However, she doesn't think that puts any pressure on their relationship. Her work isn't physically very har

28、d, but it's not exactly pleasant, either. "I do get angry with people who leave their offices like a place for raising pigs. If they realized people like me have to do it, perhaps they'd be a bit more careful." The fact that she's working all night doesn't worry Margaret at

29、 all. Unlike some dark buildings at night, the building where she works is fully lit, and the women work in groups of three. "Since I've got to be here, I try to enjoy myself- and I usually do, because of the other girls. We all have a good laugh, so the time never drags." Another chal

30、lenge Margaret has to face is fine reaction of other people when she tells them what she does for a living. "They think you're a cleaner because you don't know how to read and write," said Margaret, "I used to think what my parents would say if they knew what I'd been doin

31、g, but I don't think that way any more. I don't dislike the work though I can't say I'm mad about it."41Margaret quit her job as a nurse because_.Ashe wanted to earn more money to support her familyBshe had suffered a lot of mental pressure Cshe needed the right time to look aft

32、er her childrenDshe felt tired of taking care of patients42Margaret gets angry with people, who work in the office because .

33、ht-hearted because of her fellow workersBhappy because the building is fully lit Ctired because of the heavy, workload Dbored because time passes slowly44The underlined part in the last paragraph implies that Margaret's parents would_. Ahelp care for her children Bregret what they had saidCshow

34、sympathy for her Dfeel disappointed in herBCan you understand the beginning of this essay? "My smmr hols wr CWOT. B4, we used 2go2 NY 2C my bro, his GF & 3 kds FTF." The Scottish teacher who received it in class had no idea what the girl who wrote it meant. The essay was written in a f

35、orm of English used in cell phones text messages. Text messages (also called SMS) through cell phones became very popular in the late 1990s. At first, mobile phone companies thought that text messaging would be a good way to send messages to customers, but customers quickly began to use the text mes

36、saging service to send messages to each other. Teenagers in particular enjoyed using text messaging, and they began to create a new language for messages called "texting". A text message is limited to 160 characters, including letters, spaces, and numbers, so messages must be kept short. I

37、n addition, typing on the small keypad of a cell phone is difficult, so it's common to make words shorter. In texting, a single letter or number can represent a word, like "r" for "are," "u" for "you," and "2"for "to." Several letters c

38、an also represent a phrase, like "lol" for "laughing out loud." Another characteristic of texting is the leaving out of letters in a word, like spelling "please" as "pls." Some parents and teachers worry that texting will make children bad spellers and bad wri

39、ters. The student who wrote the essay at the top of this page said writing that way was more comfortable for her. (The essay said, "My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three kids face to face.")Not

40、 everyone agrees that texting is a bad thing. Some experts say languages always develop, and this is just another way in which English is changing. Other people believe texting will disappear soon. New technology for voice messages may soon make text messages a thing of the past.45. Which characteri

41、stic of texting is NOT described in the passage?A. Using letters to represents words. B. Using phrases to represent essay.C. Using letters to represent phrases. D.

44、ble to see someone for help without my parents knowing about it. I know that they'd be anything but supportive. They would think I'm absolutely out of my mind. The truth is, I've put off dealing with it, acting as if it'll just go away or that I'll outgrow it. But in reality, the

45、 older I'm getting, the worse I'm getting. I avoid as many social situations as I can. I completely panic when meeting new people, I only stay in classes that don't require any talking on my part. It seems the only place I'm actually happy is at home or with people that I've know

46、n all my life. Hope you can help! Dear Lisa, About 5 million Americans have some form of social anxiety disorder, also known as social phobia. While everyone experiences nervousness or fear in social situations to a certain extent, those with social anxiety disorder are weakened by their fear. They

47、may have a constant, intense, and lasting fear of being watched and judged by others, or be terribly afraid of being embarrassed or laughed at by ways in which they behave. As you have described, this fear can prevent people with social anxiety disorder from doing everyday activities, such as going

48、to school or work, and can become so much of a focus that they limit their socializing. It's understandable that you are worried about how your parents might react to knowing what's been going on for you. Many people think that their families will blame them for how they're feeling or be

49、little their concerns. Being honest with your parents, however, might help you to feel more at ease; it's possible that they've noticed your behavior and wondered about it, or even struggled with similar feelings themselves. There's even some evidence that anxiety disorders may be geneti

Once mixed with several other materials, it turns into solid and nontoxic alternative for plastics. ICT team leader Emilia Regina InoneKauffmann said the wood-working industry s

56、eparates wood into three basic components, including lignin. Lignin isnt used for the production of paper. Specialists of ICT mixed lignin with several natural materials and thus invented the material which could be melted(熔化)and molded(铸型). When solid, arboform looks like plastic and possesses the

57、qualities of polished wood. It can be used for the production of any items. Arboform is already used for the production of car parts which require extra strength. In addition, liquid wood can be recycled repeatedly. he material preserved all of its qualities even if its reprocessed ten times. Howeve

58、r, the new invention doesnt enjoy an extensive use due to the high content of sulphur(硫)in it.
