Perhaps the most interesting person I have ever met is a professor of philosophy who teaches at the University of Pisa. Although I last met this man 8 years ago, I have not forgotten his special 22 . First of all, I respect his 23 to teaching. Because his lectures were always well prepared and clearly 24 , students crowded into his classroom. His followers believed what he 25 in and what he taught. 26 , he could be counted on to explain his idea in an imaginative way, introducing such aids as oil paintings, music, and guest lecturers. Once he even sang a song in class in order to make a point clear. 27 , I admired him for the fact that he would talk to students outsides the classroom or someone on the phone. Drinking coffee in the cafe, he would easily make friends with students. Sometimes he would invite a student to a game of chess. Other times, he would join the students group to discuss a 28 of subjects, agriculture, diving, and mathematics. Many young people visited him in his office for their studies. Finally, I was attracted by his lively 29 of humor. He believed that no lesson is a success unless, during it, the students and the professor 30 at least one loud laugh. Through his sense of humor, he made learning more enjoyable and more lasting.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
A
The discovery of a dwarfed(矮个的) "human being" who lived in Flores, Indonesia, up to 18,000 years ago is changing the way we think about the human family. This "Flores Human" was three foot tall and her brain was smaller than that of the average chimp (黑猩猩), yet she and her relatives apparently lived fully human lives. They seem to have made tools, worked together to find food and cook it, and perhaps even buried their dead with ceremony.
It was a major surprise to find tools associated with the new human family member. The tools are like those formerly seen only with European fossils(化石) from our own species; Homo sapiens (智人) , and the oldest of them were made 94,000 years ago. Homo sapiens is thought to have arrived in the island about 40,000 years ago, much too late to be responsible for the tools. If this tiny human made the tools, then the inside
structure(结构) of its brain must have been more like our own than a chimp's, despite being just a third the size of ours.
This "new human" was suspected to be a dwarfed branch of Homo erectus(直立人). When creatures are separated in regions with rare resources but few enemies, being big is a disadvantage, and evolution tends to shrink them, a process known as island dwarfing. Could natural selection make a human smaller while keeping—even improving—mental ability? Quite possibly, believes Christopher Wills of the University of California.
Has the "Flores Human" even shown the ability of language? "I find it difficult to imagine that people could make tools, use fire, and kill large animals without fairly advanced communication." Wills says. Did "Flores Human" possess the basic components of human culture—such as the burying of the dead with ceremony? Emiliano Brunet of the Italian Institute points out that Indonesia's hot, wet environment is bad for fossilization. It is reasonable to assume, he says, that the 18,000-year-old bones of the most complete Flores woman were well-preserved because she was buried with special care.
46. According to the passage, the "Flores Human" .
A. lived a partly human life
B. was a branch of Homo sapiens
C. used tools before Homo sapiens arrived
D. had a brain as large as a common chimp's
47. The underlined part "this tiny human" in Paragraph 2 refers to .
A. a chimp B. Flores Human
C. Homo sapiens D. Homo erectus
48. This passage mainly talks about .
A. the tools made by "Flores Human"
B. the language used by "Flores Human"
C. the evolution of "Flores Human"
D. the major surprising findings about "Flores Human"
49. According to the passage, it is believed that "Flores Human" .
A. was dwarfed by its enemies
B. could use language
C. left a lot of fossils in hot and wet environment
D. reached Flores 40,000 years ago

No matter where you live, education is an important answer to a bright future. In most societies, schooling improves your ability to get a good job, to support yourself and your family, and to contribute to your country's economy. But many children around the world don't have the opportunity to attend school—currently, more than 425 million children aged 6-17. In many nations, more boys than girls receive a formal education. In these countries, various social and economic problems prevent girls from going to and staying in school. One of the main reasons for this is poverty (贫穷) —school can be expensive, and in many countries, school is not free. Even where it is free, the fees for books, uniforms and transportation can be too costly for many families. When resources are limited, parents often educate their sons first. Even though more girls are attending school than ever before, nearly a quarter of all girls aged 6-11 are currently not enrolled in primary schools. Compared with
primary school, a much smaller number of children attend secondary school — but again, more of them are boys. Education has special benefits for girls, both when they are young and in their adult lives. Girls with little or no education are more likely to become teenage mothers and to live in poverty; girls with more schooling marry and have children later, and lead healthier, more prosperous lives. To achieve these benefits, girls need to complete at least 6 to 7 years of schooling. Today, of our 6 billion population, nearly 1 billion adults can not read — and two thirds of them are women.
50. In families with limited income, parents tend .
A. to give education to their sons while ignore their daughters
B. to give education to their daughters while ignore their sons
C. to keep all their children from school
D. send all their children to school
51. Compared with primary school, the number of boys attending secondary school is .
A. as big as that of girls B. bigger than that of girls
C. smaller than that of girls D. not mentioned
52. According the passage, the main reason that many children don't have the oppor tunity to attend school is .
A. political B. social C. economic D. cultural

For centuries, the only form of written correspondence（通信) was the letter. Letters were, and are, sent by some form of postal service, the history of which goes back a long way. Indeed, the Egyptians began sending letters from about 2000 BC, as did the Chinese a thousand years later.
Of course, modern postal services now are much more developed and faster, as they do on cars and planes for delivery. Yet they are still too slow for some people to send urgent documents（紧急文件). and letters.
The invention of the fax(传真) machine increased the speed of delivering documents even more. When you send a fax you are sending a copy of a piece of correspondence to someone by telephone service. It was not until the early 1980s that such a service was developed enough for businesses to be able to fax documents to each other.
The fax service is still very much in use when copies of documents require to be sent, but, as a way of fast correspondence, it has been largely replaced by e-mail. E-mail is used to describe messages sent from one computer user to another.
There are advantages and disadvantages with e-mails. If you send someone an e-mail, then he will receive it extremely quickly. Normal postal services are rather slow as far as speed of delivery is concerned.
However, if you write something by e-mail, which you might later regret, and send it immediately, there is no chance for second thoughts. t least, if you have to address and seal(封) the envelope and take it to the post box, there is plenty of time to change your mind. The message is« think before you e-mail \
53. We can learn from the text that .
A. the postal service has over the years become faster
B. e-mail is less popular than the fax service
C. the postal service has over the years become slower
D. the fax service has a history as long as the postal service does
54. It can be inferred from the text that .
A. the fax machine was invented after the 1980s
B. letters have been used in China for about 1,000 years
C. the fax service had been fully developed by the 1980s
D. letters have been used in Egypt for about 2,000 years
55. In the last sentence of the last paragraph, the writer mentions "think before you
e-mail" to show that .
A. you'd better not send your e-mail in a hurry
B. you may regret if you don't seal your envelope
C. you may regret before you send something by e-mail
D. you need plenty of time to send an e-mail
56. The text mainly deals with .
A. the invention of fax machines
B. the advantage of fax machines
C. the advantage of e-mails

I had spent six years working nights while I attended college during the day. I always wanted to be a teacher, and I worked hard to earn my degree. When I finally graduated, I was very optimistic. With the help of the friends who teach at the school, I landed an interview with the principal. I noticed a tiny hole in my stockings that morning. I thought about changing, but I knew I'd be late if I did. By the time I got to the interview, the hole stretched from my ankle to my knee. I walked in and immediately apologized for not looking my best. I spent the rest of the time trying to sit in a way that he couldn't see the hole.
I didn't get the job. In fact, one of my friends told me the principal's only comment was: "If a person doesn't present her best image at an interview, what kind of teacher is she going to be?"
58.
I worked for ten years as an administrative in a large accounting firm. When the office manager retired last year, I applied for the position. I wasn't even granted an interview. I thought it was an oversight, so I asked the director of personnel what happened. He told me I didn't fit the image of an office manager. He suggested I renew my wardrobe—get rid of my colorful skirts and dangling earrings—before I applied again for another position. I was shocked. I do a great job, and the way I dress shouldn't have any bearing. My clothes reflect my personal style.
59.
When I was a telemarketing specialist in Athens, I applied for a promotion. My interview went so well I was offered the job on the spot. I was ecstatic. I remembered that I reacted to the offer with too much enthusiasm. Once the boss sensed how excited I was he knew I wasn't going to turn him down. Consequently, he offered me a lower salary than I'd hoped for. I was convinced I could have gotten more had I contained myself.

Open and close your conversation on a positive note. For example, if you've studied the company's annual report and you should have! Consider remarking on any substantial progress the firm has made within the past year, or cite an area of company involvement that interests you. When you leave, summarize why you're the best candidate for the job and thank the person for his interest.
Master the art of small talk. Most people who appear comfortable with strangers in social and business situations will tell you that they've worked hard to look that way. Read a weekly news magazine and at least one daily newspaper—especially the sports section—so you can hold your own in a conversation.
Ask questions. Too often when people meet, they feel awkward about what to say after the introductions. Almost everyone likes to be asked questions, so don't be afraid to be the initiator.
61.
There is the matter of how you speak. Any voice coach will tell you can learn to sound more relaxed, more assertive and more confident. One good technique is to record your voice on a tape. As you play it back, be alert for voice tones that sound apologetic, tentative, or imploring.
In this book—You Are The Massage. Secrets of the Master Communicators, media consultant Roger Ailes suggests a voice-improvement exercise he calls "tape and ape".
Get a cassette tape of a famous actor or actress reading a classic. Record yourself reading the same selection and compare. "Your goal isn't to become a performer," says Ailes, "But when you hear a good speech and attempt to emulate it, you will improve your voice. "
Section D
Directions: Read the following passage. Then answer the questions or complete the sentences according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
PITTSBURGH — For most people, snakes seem unpleasant or even threatening. But Howie Choset sees in their delicate movements a way to save lives.
The 37-year-old Carnegie Mellon University professor has spent years developing snake like robots. He hopes his robots will eventually slide through fallen buildings in search of victims trapped after natural disasters or other emergencies.
Dan Kara is president of Robotics Trends, a Northboro, Mass-based company that publishes an online industry magazine and runs robotics trade shows. He said there are other snake-like robots being developed, mainly at universities, but didn't know of one that could climb pipes.
The Carnegie Mellon machines are designed to carry cameras and electronic sensors and can be controlled with a joystick (操纵杆). They move smoothly with the help of small electric motors, commonly used by hobbyists in model airplanes. Built from lightweight materials, the robots are about the size of a human arm or smaller. They can sense which way is up, but are only as good as their human operators, Choset added.
Sam Stover, a search team manager with the Federal Emergency Management Agency based in Indiana, said snake-type robots would offer greater mobility than equipment currently available, such as cameras attached to extendable poles.
"It just allows us to do something we've not been able to do before," Stover said, "We needed them yesterday. "
He said sniffer dogs are still the best search tool for rescue workers, but that they can only be used effectively when workers have access to damaged building.
Stover, among the rescue workers who handled the aftermath (后果) of Hurricane Katrina, said snake robots would have helped rescuers search flooded houses in that disaster.
Choset said the robots may not be ready for use for another five to ten years, depending on funding.
32. Which institution is responsible for the development of Choset's robots?
Choset believes that his invention .
By saying "We needed them yesterday" (paragraph 7), Stover means that snake-like robots .
