M: Good morning. Anything I can do for you?
W: I'd like to look at some of these cars.
M: We have various cars. Do you want a German car or an American one?
W: A German car is cheaper than an American one. So I'd prefer a German one.
M: OK. Please have a look over them.
W: I think I would like to see some cars with special model.
M: Fine. What about the blue car? It is our latest model.

M: What kind of insurance do you generally provide?
W: We offer various kinds of insurance, such as All Risks, WPA, FPA and TLO, etc.
M: I have some boxes of teapots to be shipped to Hong Kong. Shall I take out TLO or FPA?

Text 10
We all like our parents, because they give us too much love and care. Now I'd like to talk about my dear dad. My dad is a “Mr Mom”. He was 50 years old when I was born. I didn't know why he was at home instead of mom, hut I considered myself very lucky because I was the only one of my friends who had dad around.
Dad did so many things for me during my elementary school years.
He convinced the school bus driver to pick me up at our house instead of the usual bus stop two blocks away. He always had my lunch ready for me when I came home.
As I got a little older and tried to gain my independence, I wanted to move away from those “childish” signs of his love. But he wouldn't give up. In high school I was no longer able to go home for lunch, so I began taking my own. Dad would get up a little earlier and prepare it for me.
However, when I left home for college, I missed my dad every day after school. At that time I called him a lot. It didn't matter what he said; I just wanted to hear his voice.

Several years ago, I had to replace a receptionist for my unit. Before I advertised for the position, I was approached by another manager, and asked if l would consider a transfer from his staff instead of opening a new competition. My natural question was to ask who he wanted me to consider and why.
It appeared from his description of this employee, Maria, that she was having a lot of problems performing her duties, and had difficulties with her boss, and did not appear to respond to any attempts he, the manager, had made to settle the issues. Now, after listening to his explanation, I really had severe doubts. What crossed my mind, after this discussion, was that he wanted me to take a problem off his hands.
I told him I would think about it and would let him know the next day. As promised, after thinking more about this potential performance issue, I decided that I would agree to speak with Maria privately before I made any decision.
And, what I found out during this interview, left me deep in thought. As it turned out, the
performance issue appeared to result from working for a boss who never extended a good morning greeting, never gave a word of encouragement, and was constantly changing the work load and routines. The end result was a totally ruined employee who was unconfident, hated to see a new
work day start.
I decided to accept her transfer to my unit. What started out as a shy, withdrawn and frightened employee turned out to be one of the most productive and loyal employee that I had ever worked with. Maria couldn't do enough and was constantly asking for more and for more responsibility. I was more than happy to give her what she neededpraise for work well done, respect as a person, and encouragement for doing well in anything she dealt with.
Sometimes, we are guilty of holding others back from accomplishing or doing or developing as they should or could. It may be a wise idea that we all look in the mirror, from time to time, to see what we are really like.
文章大意:作者在文中讲述了自己经历的一件事。一位经理向作者推荐了一名员工,通过经理的介绍作者意识到这是一个问题员工,于是他背后找到这名员工,了解到其实员工的状况都是由于经理自身的问题造成的,在鼓励和赞赏下这名员工成了作者的得力干将。这个故事告诉了我们赏识和鼓励的重要性。
25.What can we learn about the writer from the first paragraph?
A.He is a manager in the company.
B.He doesn't like his receptionist.
C.He likes to compete with others.
D.He wants to find another position.
答案:A 推理判断题。根据文章第一段中I was approached by another manager,“另一位经理和我接洽”由此可以判断作者也是一个经理,故选A。
26.Why did Maria fail to perform well in her previous job?
A.Her previous job was not suitable for her.
B.She had difficulty responding to her manager.
C.Her boss didn't inspire her working enthusiasm.
D.Her boss showed no trust in her ability.
答案:C 细节理解题。根据文章第三段中the performance issue appeared to result from working for a boss who never extended a good morning greeting, never gave a word of encouragement,她的老板从来没有给她说过鼓励的话,可以判断她的问题都是由此老板的缘故造成的,所以答案选C。
27.The writer accepted Maria's transfer to unit probably because he thought that ________.
A.she was a ruined employee
B.she would need his protection
C.she would turn out to be a good employee
D.she was a shy and frightened employee
答案:C 推理判断题。文章第四段讲述了作者私下和这名员工进行了交流,意识到了员工自身不存在什么问题,问题都出在经理身上,而且认为她会成为一名优秀员工,所以把她调到了作者所在的部门,答案选C。
28.The writer probably believes that a good boss should________.
A.praise and award his employees a lot
B.respect, praise and encourage his employees
C.greet his employees and give them much work
D.always give his employees guidance in working
答案:B 推理判断题。根据I was more than happy to give her what she neededpraise for work well done, respect as a person, and encouragement for doing well in anything she dealt with.根据作者对待Maria态度可以看出他认为老板应该尊敬表扬和鼓励他的员工,故选B。
C
Holidays are really important. Many of us will have childhood memories of summer holidays where we were taken away from home to experience new environments and learn in different ways.
But holidays are expensive and, for those on low wages or living on benefits, they are often unobtainable. Even the cheapest holidays require travel and other additional costs that are difficult for many families to meet.
For working parents, the long summer break can be a very difficult problem for childcare. When an annual leave allowance amounts to only five weeks, there is a need to spread this across the year. Couples can find themselves taking leave in turn in order to care for children who are on holiday. For some, this makes even an affordable family holiday difficult.
The schools that I visit in Nottingham are full of experienced staff committed to giving our children a caring and inspiring learning environment. The number of children receiving free school meals is quite large in Nottingham and many schools have breakfast clubs to make sure that children get a healthy start to the day. Most schools undertake programs of group or individual educational support. Schools also have an important role in sofeguaiding children's welfare through the ongoing touch and support with their pupils. During the long summer holidays, much of this is missed.
While teachers are holidaying in the UK, many of their pupils spend the whole six weeks on the street where they live. The lack of free school meals for six weeks can result in pressure on a family budget and an inability to afford the inspiring experiences that help children to continue their learning.
In setting out its plans for a fiveterm year, Nottingham City Council (委员会)is seeking to reduce the summer holiday down lo four and a half weeks, with a more balanced five terms of roughly eight weeks, each followed by a twoweek break. We believe this will give real “down time” for school staff and pupils alike but will be short enough not to cause a real break in learning.
We acknowledge that this change may be difficult for some school staff, particularly whose own children are educated in other authorities. However, this must be weighed against the benefits for city children for whom we all have the greatest duty of care.
文章大意:本文是一篇调查报告。文章讲述了是否应该缩短学生暑假的问题。
29.The passage is probably written by ________.
A.an experienced teacher
B.a city council member
C.an inspired student
D.a working parent
答案:B 考查推理判断。根据文章倒数第二段中的In setting out its plans for a fiveterm year, Nottingham City Council(委员会)is seeking to reduce the summer holiday down to four and a half weeks, with a more balanced five terms of roughly eight weeks, each followed by a twoweek break.可知,关于放假的问题是Nottingham City Council探讨的事情,所以这篇文章应该是一名委员会成员写的。故选B。
30.The underlined word “they” in the second paragraph refers to“________”.
A.environments
B.wages
C.holidays
D.benefits
答案:C 考查猜测词义。根据文章第二段中的But holidays are expensive and, for those on low wages or living on benefits, they are often unobtainable.可知,前面句子的主语是holidays,代词they应该指holidays。故选C。
31.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A.some school staff will say “No” to the plans for a shorter summer holiday
B.the suggested plans for a fiveterm school year can hardly be carried out
C.the long summer holiday gives teachers and students real “down time”
D.working parents can enjoy a fiveweek break to care for their children
答案:A 考查推理判断。根据文章最后一段中的We acknowledge that this change may be difficult for some school staff, particularly whose own children are educated in other authorities. However, this must be weighed against the benefits for city children for whom we all have the greatest duty of care.可知A正确。
D
Whether in the workplace or on the football field, effective teamwork can produce amazing results. However, working successfully as a team is not as easy as it may seem. Effective teamwork certainly does not just happen automatically; it takes a great deal of hard work and compromise. There are a number of factors that must be in place to make a good team.
Effective leadership is one of the most important factors of good teamwork. The team's leader should possess the skills to create and preserve a positive working environment and motivate and inspire the team members to take a positive approach to work and be highly committed. An effective team leader will promote a high level of spirit and make them feel supported and valued.
Communication is a vital factor of all interpersonal relationship and especially that of a team. Team members must be able to articulate their feelings, express plans and goals, share ideas and see each other's opinions.
Conflicts will arise no matter how well a team functions together. The best way to deal with conflicts is to have some organized methods of handling conflicts. Team members should be able to voice their concerns without fear of offending others. Instead of avoiding conflict issues, a handson approach that settles them quickly is much better. It is often advised that the team leader sit with the conflicting parties and help work out their differences without taking sides and trying to remain objective if possible.
The team leader must set a good example to create good teamwork. In order to keep team members positive and committed and motivated, the team leader himself needs to show these qualities. The team turns to the leader for support and guidance. So any negative words or behaviors on the leader's part can be disastrous.
Regardless of what type of work you are in, knowing how to effectively work on and with a team is going to be extremely important to your success and that of your team.
文章大意:本文是一篇议论文。文章讲述了为什么有效团队很重要,形成有效团队具备的因素是什么。领导怎样带出一个有效团队。
32.Effective leadership is important partly because________.
A.it creates a positive working environment
B.it makes a leader feel supported and valued
C.it helps a leader to develop lots of skills
D.it depends on interpersonal relationship of a team
答案:A 考查推理判断。根据第二段中的The team's leader should possess the skills to create and preserve a positive working environment可知,创造积极的工作环境是重要原因的一部分。故选A。B项错在偷梁换柱,此处的a leader应是members;C项错在领导应该具有很多技能,而不是帮助领导培养技能,D项与文章内容不符。
33.The underlined word “articulate” probably means ________.
A.hide
B.express
C.feel
D.plan
答案:B 考查猜测词义。根据文章第三段中的Team members must be able to articulate their feelings, express plans and goals, share ideas and see each other's opinions.可知,express, share和articulate是并列关系,它们又相近的意思,所以选B。
34.To become a good team leader, you have to ________.
A.set up a good team
B.be positive and committed
C.look for support from the team
D.avoid natural disasters
答案:B 考查推理判断。根据文章第五段中的In order to keep team members positive and committed and motivated, the team leader himself needs to show these qualities.可知,要成为一个好的领导,要有积极和尽心尽力的精神,故选B。
35.Which is the best title for the passage?
A.Football And Teamwork
B.Communication And Teamwork
C.Handle Conflict In A Team
D.What Makes Effective Teamwork
答案:D 考查文章的标题。根据文章的整体内容可知,第一段总说:有效的团队能产生惊人的效果,有效的团队需要具有许多因素。然后第二大段分说:1.有效的领导;2.沟通和交流;3.正确解决冲突;4.好的领导应具备的品质。第三大段总结,有效的团队是你成功的极其重要的因素。所以,统揽全文可知D是最好的题目。

Choosing the right job is probably one of the most important decisions we have to make in life, and it is frequently one of the hardest decisions we have to make. One important question that you might ask yourself is: “How do I get a good job?”__36__.
There are people who can answer an insignificant advertisement in the local paper and land the best job in the world; others write to all sorts of places all over the country, and never seem to get a reply at all. Still others believe that the in person, doortodoor approach is by far the best way to get a job; and then there are those who, through no active decision of their own, just seem to be in the right place at the right time. __37__. He used to spend a lot of his free time down by the sea watching the tall ships, but never thinking that he might one day sail one of them. His father was a farmer, and being a sailor could never be anything for the boy but an idle dream. One day, on his usual wandering, he heard the captain of the ship complaining that he could not sail because one member of his crew was sick. Without stopping to think, the lad(少年) offered to take his place. __38__.
__39__. If the lad had gone home to ponder(考虑)his decision for a week, he may have missed his chance. It is one thing to be offered an opportunity; it is another thing to take it and use it well.
Sometimes we hear stories about people who break all the rules and still seem to land plum jobs(美差). When you go for a job interview or fill out an application, you are expected to say nice things about the company to which you are applying. __40__. And within a year this person had become general manager of the company.
A.This story also illustrates the importance of seizing an opportunity when it presents itself.
B.People find jobs in an infinite number of ways.
C.it's almost impossible to find a good job by answering advertisement in newspapers
D.Take for example the young man who wanted to be a sailor.
E.But there was one person who landed an excellent job by telling the interviewer all the company's faults.
F.He spent the rest of his life happily sailing the ships he had always loved.
G.It is very important to seize an opportunity when it presents itself.
答案:36~40 BDFAE

61.to have 此处用不定式作原因状语。

参考答案:
Dear Editor,
I'm writing to tell you about a heated
discussion among us students in our school about whether students of Senior 3 should take physical exercise.
55% of the students think that we should take physical exercise every day, such as doing morning exercise, playing table tennis or basketball,etc. It can build our body, keep us healthy and reduce illnesses. Meanwhile, it can make us completely relaxed for a better learning effect.
However, 45% of the students are against that. They complain that taking physical exercise is a waste of time. It can make us tired of feel too excited for further learning. More over, we may get hurt during the play. I personally think that proper physical exercise is necessary but never too hard.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
