14、根据下面材料回答{TSE}题： Passage Four Using 1ess energy around the home is easier than you might think，saving you money while creating a heathier，more comfortable living space for you and your family． Changing a few old habits can make an impact on your energy bill， your comfort and the environment. Here are some handy tips to make your house more energy-efficient. Lower the heat If your home has adjustable central heating，lowering the room temperature even slightly can make a difference． You may not feel it，but your wallet will． It is even more advisable to control temperatures at different times of the day. Hang clothes out to dry If the weather allows it，head outside and dry your laundry on a clothesline. The sunlight will help eliminate bacteria and dust． While clothes dryers get the job done faster，they also use up energy．By hanging your clothes out you’ll be cutting greenhouse gases by about three kilograms per load． Take advantage of natural light Installing large windows on the northern side of your house can help you make use of sunlight’s natural warmth. To stay cool indoors on hot summer days，install blinds(百叶窗) to block the heavy sun．Put your desk near the window，then you don’t need a lamp in the daytime. Wrap(裹)your pipes Be sure your hot—water pipes are properly wrapped．In an average home，heating water accounts for more than one—quarter of the energy bill．Why let warmth go to waste before it reaches you? Choose the right size for appliances(家用电器) When the time comes to replace appliances，select those that are both energy—efficient and of the appropriate size for your needs．Don’t buy bigger ones just because you can． {TS}What benefit may using less energy at home bring about?（单选题）

54、根据以下材料，回答{TSE}题 Passage Four Ideasabout polite behaviour differ from one culture to another.Some societies, such asAmerica and Australia,for example,

are mobile and veryopen. People here change jobs and move house quiteoften. As a m result, they have a lot of relationships that often last only mashort time, and they need to get to know people quickly. So it´s normal to havefriendly conversations with people that they have just met, and you can talk aboutthings that other cultures would regard as personal. On the other hand, there are more crowded and less mobile societies where long-termrelationships are more important. A Malaysian or Mexican business person, for example,willwant to get to know you very well before he or she feels happy to startbusiness. But when you do get to know each other, the relationship becomes muchdeeper than it would in a mobile society. To Americans, both Europeans and Asians seem cool and formal atfirst. On the other hand, as a passenger from a less mobile society puts it,it´s no fun spending several hours next to a stranger who wants to tell you allabout his or her life and asks you all sorts of questions that you don´t want to answer. Cross-cultural differences aren´t just a problem for travelers,but also for people in daily life. Some societies have \" universalist´´cultures. These societies strongly respect rules, and they treat every personand situation in basically the same way. \"Particularist\" ( 强调特性的)societies also have rules, but they are less important than thesociety´s unwritten ideas about what is right or wrong for a particularsituation or a particular person. So the normal rules are changed to fit theneeds of the situation or the importance of the person. {TS} What can be learned fromParagraph 1?（单选题）

A. People from a mobile society disliketalking about personal affairs. B. Short-term relationships are common ina mobile society.

88、根据以下材料，回答{TSE}题 An interesting project called Blue Zones is recording the lifestyle secrets of the communitieswith the highest concentrations of centenarians in the world． The people in the five regions in Europe,Latin America,Asia and the US that live to be 100have a lot going for them．Genes probably play a small role, but these folks also have strong socialties,tightly-knit families and lots of opportunities to exercise． As wewere examining the dietary secrets of the Blue Zones,as described in author DanBuettner´s latest book,The Blue Zones Solution,we were struck by how essential tea drinking is inthese regions．In fact, Buettner´s Blue Zones Beverage Rule—a kind of guideline summarized fromhis 15 or so years of studying these places—is:“Drink coffee for breakfast,tea in the afternoon,wineat 5 p．m．” Science has plenty to say about the healthful virtues of green tea．Researchers are most enthusi-astic about the components in green tea,as well as foods like cocoa．Why might they help so manyOkinawans in Japan break 1007

Some components in green tea can lower the risk of stroke,heartdisease and several cancers．One review study also found that drinking green tea can slightly improvemetabolism(新陈代谢)． If you find yourself on the island of Ikaria,the Greek Blue Zone in the middle of the Aegean,you won´t be offered any tea made with tea leaves．Instead,Ikarians typically make their daily cup oftea with just one fresh herb that they have picked themselves that day—either rosemary,wild sage,oregano, marjoram,mint or dandelion, all plants that may have anti-inflammatory(消炎的) properties,which may help lower blood pressure．This could explain Ikaria´s very low dementia(痴呆)rate,since high blood pressure is a risk factor for the disease． {TS}What does the underlined word“centenarians”in Paragraph 1 refer to?（单选题）

122、根据下面材料回答{TSE}题： Passage Five As we recently discovered，there is a Stepmother’s Day，though it is not on any official holiday calendar．So，it would be safe to assume that there is a similar day for stepdads，too． Right? Well，it depends on what you read．A Google search brought up posts that say，for example，“It’s on father’s day--father’s day is for fathers，step—fathers and people who are like fathers to you-it’s a day for making father figures feel special．”Further searching found a Stepfather’s Day page that says，“The unofficial Stepfather’s Day is the fourth Sunday of June．” Unfortunately，as of the publishing of this article，only 30 people have “liked” the page．Considering that studies show 3.3 million men，or 11.1％of U．S．fathers，live with at least one stepchild， that’s only a drop in the ocean． It’s interesting to note that there is a National Grandparents’ Day．President Jimmy Carter signed it into law in 1978．Law! While grandparents are undoubtedly special people in our children’s lives，they are often seen as the most loving family members．But what about the stepparents? The

stepparents are the ones who are often the outsiders，the ones who have to endure the hurtful “You’re not my dad!” or “You’re not my mom!” And yet they never give up. They do their best to overcome the inherent challenges of stepparents and be role models for their stepchildren．These unsung(未被颂扬的)family heroes deserve “official” days of honor．Perhaps if we are loud enough，President Obama，who had a stepfather himself，will sign into law National Stepmother’s Day and National Stepfather’s Day． Are you with me? Follow me and get your voice heard．How cool it would be if we could make this happen! {TS}What does the underlined word“that’’in Paragraph 1 refer to?（单选题）

A. Father figures who are equally honored in the U．S．

B. 30 people who support Stepfather’s Day on the page． C. 3.3 million men who live with at least one stepchild in the world． D. 11.1％of U．S．fathers who live with at least one stepchild in the U．S． 试题答案：B

132、根据材料回答{TSE}题： Passage Three Most students choose “Homestay” accommodation when they study abroad：others select Homestay even if they are not on a study visit．Statistics show that it’s a form of accommodation gaining in popularity all the time． But what is Homestay? And what makes it so popular? Homestay means living with a family，or“host family”as we say．There are three ways of doing it：choose to learn English in a language school near to your Homestay location： have your English classes in the house with a member of the family who is a qualified teacher； select not to have classes at all when you visit——a popular choice if you want to do the tourist thing for example． Even in their busy summer period the organizations that arrange the Homestays will always try to place you with the most suitable host family to match your requirements．Placement(安置)organizations think about location，interests，language level，eating requirements，allergies (过敏)and other requests you may have． Though prices vary according to your needs，good quality Homestay accommodation can be relatively economical--and although you may be charged an extra amount of money if you want your Homestay in or near the city center．Even if you stay further out，you can expect your journey into the center not to exceed 30 minutes. Not only does Homestay accommodation represent value for money， it also gives you an excellent opportunity to practice English with your host family．This is a very important extra for students who like to speak as much English as

possible． But if you plan to learn English，why not have your English classes in your host family． There’s no better way to learn English than this—the perfect combination of learning and accommodation combined with the cultural experience ! {TS}Homestay is an ideal choice for students who __________.（单选题）

A. plan to visit relatives B. want to stay at home C. plan to study overseas D. want to learn statistics 试题答案：C

140、根据以下材料，回答{TSE}题 As recently as three decades ago,many Americans believed that using credit was an unwise anddangerous way to pay for what they bought．Some even thought that owing money to a store or acredit company was something to be ashamed of．Good citizens, they believed,always bought whatthey wanted with real money and they paid the full price immediately． Today,however,all that has changed．Credit, as some observers have noted,has become away of life in the United States．More and more Americans now are depending on those small piecesof plastic, credit cards,to pay for large purchases such as televisions, record players or furniture．Many people today would consider it unusual not to use a credit card to pay for a costly restaurantdinner,a hotel room or an airline trip．And there are some situations in which Americans must havecredit cards．If they want the temporary use of a car,for example,they first must give the car rentalcompany the number of their credit card．That number is considered a guarantee that they will returnthe car and pay for using it． Credit cards offer two major services to Americans． First of all, they are easier and safer tocarry than large amounts of money．Second, they permit people to borrow, to have the immediatepleasure of owning something,even if they do not have enough money to pay for it at the time．Withcredit cards people pay for goods or services at the end of each month instead of when they buy them．And

when the time does come to pay,most credit cards offer people a choice．They can pay all ofwhat they owe for the month or they can just pay usually between 5 and 10 percent of what they owe． {TS}What do Americans feel about using credit cards nowadays according to thepassage?（单选题）

199、根据下面材料回答{TSE}题： Passage Four Using 1ess energy around the home is easier than you might think，saving you money while creating a heathier，more comfortable living space for you and your family． Changing a few old habits can make an impact on your energy bill， your comfort and the environment. Here are some handy tips to make your house more energy-efficient. Lower the heat If your home has adjustable central heating，lowering the room temperature even slightly can make a difference． You may not feel it，but your wallet will． It is even more advisable to control temperatures at different times of the day. Hang clothes out to dry If the weather allows it，head outside and dry your laundry on a clothesline. The sunlight will help eliminate bacteria and dust． While clothes dryers get the job done faster，they also use up energy．By hanging your clothes out you’ll be cutting greenhouse gases by about three kilograms per load． Take advantage of natural light Installing large windows on the northern side of your house can help you make use of sunlight’s natural warmth. To stay cool indoors on hot summer days，install blinds(百叶窗) to block the heavy sun．Put your desk near the window，then you don’t need a lamp in the daytime. Wrap(裹)your pipes Be sure your hot—water pipes are properly wrapped．In an average home，heating water accounts for more than one—quarter of the energy bill．Why let warmth go to waste before it reaches you? Choose the right size for appliances(家用电器) When the time comes to replace appliances，select those that are both energy—efficient and of the appropriate size for your needs．Don’t buy bigger ones just because you can． {TS}What benefit may using less energy at home bring about?（单选题）

Born in Paris, Monet spent his childhood in LeHavre. There he met a local artist, Eugene Boudin. Who encouraged him to becomea landscape painter. In 1859, Monet went to Paris to study at the Academie Suisse. Between 1860 and 1862,Monet served in the army in Algeria ( 阿尔及利亚 ).He returned to Paris where he met most of the major artists of the era. In1870, Monet married Camille Doncieux.

Working from nature was a particular symbol of theImpressionist movement, and one that Monet valued, reflecting in his paintingsthe ever-changing impact of light and weather

conditions. In 1872,he visited Le Havre where hepainted \"An Impression,Sunrise\". When exhibited in 1874, part of its titlewas used by a critic to label the whole movement \"Impressionism\". Monet´s wife died in 1879,and he set up home with Alice Hoschede, the wife of one of hismost important sponsors. During the 1880s, Monet traveledthrough France painting a variety of landscapes. He gradually became better known and for the last 30years of his life he was regarded as the greatest of the Impressionists. From 10 he began to paint a series (系列 ) of pictures of one subject, including\"Haystacks\" \"Rouen Cathedral\" and\"Waterlilies\".

fight． Unlike dogs, cats' tail language is not so expressive． When a cat feels threatened, he puffs him-self up to appear big and his tail shakes with tension． And when he is displeased with something, helashes out(甩动) his tail． The tail language of dogs and cats has a little story behind it． Earlier, when dogs and cats hadnot become friends with human beings, they were predators． They used to hunt other animals for theirfood． When dogs went out hunting with their friends, tail language came handy． When they were closeto each other, dogs could use facial expressions to talk． But, for long-distance c,o~mmunication, theyused their tails． Unlike dogs, cats liked to hunt alone． So, they did not need to use tail language toooften． As a result, their vocabulary in tail language is much smaller than that of dogs'． {TS} What does it mean when a dog's tail is straight?（单选题）

238、根据以下材料，回答{TSE}题 Passage Two Generationsof Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is essentialto one´s life. Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have been told,and told again, is as necessary asputting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip. But for many people,the thought of food as the first thing in the morning is never a pleasure Sodespite all the efforts,they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest year for which figures could beobtained, the number of people who didn´t have breakfast increased by 33%from8.8 million to 11.7 million--according to the Chicago-based Market ResearchCorporation of America. For those who dislike eating breakfast, however, thereis some good news. Several studies in the last few years have shown that,for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. \"Going without breakfast does not affect work,\"said Arnold E.Bender,former professor of nutrition at Queen Elizabeth College in London, \"nor does giving people breakfast improve work. \" Scientific evidence linkingbreakfast to better health or better work is surprisingly inadequate(不充分) ,and most of the recent work involves children, not adults.\"The literature,\" says one researcher, Dr. Earnest Polite at theUniversity of Texas, \"is poor.\" {TS} Which of these is mentioned inthe second paragraph?（单选题）

A. The number of the people who skip breakfast has increased. B. Many people fill their cars withgasoline in themorning. C. 8.8 million people got involved in astudy oneating habits. D. A company carried out a research in1983. 试题答案：A

239、根据以下材料，回答{TSE}题 There were many different cultures in the ancient world,but the two that had the most influenceon European and American civilizations were the Greek and the Roman．Often these two eultures arelumped together in our minds,as if they were really exactly alike．But that is not the case．In manyways the Greeks and the Romans could not have been more different． The Greeks were truly democratic,often without a single leader but instead governed by a groupof men chosen by the people．The Romans were semi-democratic．They had a governing Senate,butthe political power was mostly or completely in the hands of a single emperor． Both cultures were great builders．But the construction interests of the two cultures were alsodifferent．The Greeks tended to be more artistic．Their buildings were well

constructed and they wereespecially interested in temples,columns, and decorative forms．The Romans,on the other hand,were more engineers than artists．They

concentrated their efforts on urban planning,well-functioningwater pipes,and the best roads． Only in cooking and eating habits are the two cultures really similar．Both peoples ate very wellindeed:lots of fish,fresh vegetables and fruits,healthy meals, holding at the same time longdiscussions and tasting excellent wines． In fact,it would probably be fair to say that they both loved life in their warm, sea-orientedclimates,and they both lived a full life． {TS}What is the first paragraph about?（单选题）

A. The Greek and the Roman were similar． B. People misunderstood European civilization．

C. Greek civilization was quite different from Roman civilization． D. European civilization influenced American civilization greatly． 试题答案：C

240、根据以下材料，回答{TSE}题 Sometimes I scratch my head when I read about the government´s efforts to improve schools:new standards and tests to be applied,strict teacher evaluations,and threats of school closures andjob

losses．They frighten the school employees,not to mention the students．Instead of making peopleunable to solve problems or try new ideas—which is what fear does to us—research on school reformstrongly suggests that policy-makers should encourage school leaders to take a more humaneapproach．In their study on the reform efforts of twelve Chicago public schools,Bryk and Schneider found that enabling positive social relationships between the adults was the key to successful schoolimprovement and that trust was at the heart of those relationships． Trust in schools comes down to one thing:psychological safety or safety to speak one´s mind,todiscuss with openness and honesty what is and isn´t working,to make collective decisions． Yet this kind of safety doesn´t come easily to schools．According to Bryk and

Schneider,theadults in school rely on each other to do their jobs correctly and with integrity (正直)．The challengeis that our expectations are very diverse based on our unique backgrounds． At one school where I taught,each teacher had different expectations about how much extraeffort teachers should put into their work—a big difference between the teachers who left after thelast bell and those who worked into the evening．And when expectations are unconscious orunspoken,it becomes impossible for others to live up to them． We also make assumptions about the intentions behind a person´s behavior．As we all know,assumptions are often wrong．For example,parents and teachers may think the principal made aparticular decision based on his career advancement rather than what´s best for the students．If wedon´t feel psychologically safe to question our assumptions and expectations,trust flies out

thewindow and our relationships suffer． {TS}According to Paragraph 1,why does the author scratch his head．´?（单选题）

A. Because he doesn't know what to do once schools are closed． B. Because he is not sure about the practicability of those new tests． C. Because he is concerned that many teachers will lose their jobs． D. Because he is not in favor of the government's reform efforts． 试题答案：D
