Passage 1

The best kept secret in San Diego is waiting to offer you a delightful getaway — without leaving town.

Less than three years ago, the Parisi Hotel was just an office building above the shops on the corner of Prospect Street. Now, that valuable space is an intimate luxury hotel —with several rooms overlooking the ocean. You’ll be amazed when you enter from the corner and ascend the curving staircase to the second-floor lobby. It will take you into a different world.

What you will find when you enter the large contemporary lobby is a handsome and peaceful space that was designed with a hint of Tuscany in its modern Mediterranean (地中海式的) style. The lobby has a large fireplace with comfortable sofas in warm neutral colors surrounding it. You’ll feel relaxed just sitting there — with its skylight overhead letting in the morning sun.

All the rooms are more like suites (套房), with large comfortable beds, beautiful baths and stylish custom-designed

furnishings and art throughout.

The Parisi Hotel is the perfect place for seniors because it’s quiet and restful —with only 20 rooms. You won’t find many hotels like this in the center of a tourist town.

The shops are all around you. Likewise for some of the city’s best restaurants, you will never have to take your car out of the garage during your stay. And, by the way, the underground parking lot at the Parisi Hotel is free for hotel guests.

Once you stay at this little gem (珍品), you’ll want to return again and again. I know we do. It’s a perfect place for seniors.

Rates for standard suites begin at $275. You can call the hotel for reservation at (858) 454-1513. The Parisi Hotel is located at 1111 Prospect St. right across from La Valencia.

6. The Parisi Hotel is described as a luxury hotel with comfortable facilities.

A. T

B. F

7. When you enter the lobby, you will find that sunlight comes through the window in the sloping roof.

A. T

B. F

8. The Parisi Hotel is suitable for old people, because it is in the center of the town.

A. T

B. F

9. What special benefit can people get while staying in the Parisi

Hotel? They can enjoy free parking.

A. T

B. F

10. The Parisi Hotel is a small restful hotel.

A. T

B. F

Passage 2

Laws have been written to govern the use of American National Flag, and to ensure proper respect for the flag. Custom has also governed the common practice in regard to its use. All the armed services have precise regulations on how to display the national flag. This may vary somewhat from the general rules. The national flag should be raised and lowered by hand. Do not raise the flag while it is folded. Unfold the flag first, and then hoist it quickly to the top of the flagpole. Lower it slowly and with dignity. Place no objects on or over the flag. Do not use the flag as part of a costume or athletic uniform. Do not print it upon cushions, handkerchiefs, paper napkins or boxes. A federal law provides that the trademark cannot be registered if it comprises the flag, or badges of the US. When the flag is used to unveil a statue or monument, it shouldn’t serve as a covering of the object to be unveiled. If it is displayed on such occasions, do not allow the flag to fall to the ground, but let it be carried high up in the air to form a feature of the ceremony. Take every precaution to prevent the flag from soiled. It should not be allowed to touch the ground or floor,

nor to brush against objects.

11. How do Americans ensure proper respect for the national flag?

A. By making laws.

B. By enforcing discipline.

C. By educating the public.

D. By holding ceremonies.

12. What is the regulation regarding the raising of the American National Flag?

A. It should be raised by soldiers.

B. It should be raised quickly by hand.

C. It should be raised only by Americans.

D. It should be raised by mechanical means.

13. How should the American National Flag be displayed at an unveiling ceremony?

A. It should be attached to the statue.

B. It should be hung from the top of the monument.

C. It should be spread over the object to be unveiled.

D. It should be carried high up in the air.

14. What do we learn about the use of the American National Flag?

A. There has been a lot of controversy over the use of flag.

B. The best athletes can wear uniforms with the design of the flag.

C. There are precise regulations and customs to be followed.

以下短文中共包括5个未完成的句子，针对每个对话中空缺部分，请从A, B, C, D, E五个选项中选出正确选项。

It seems quite clearly unjust to pay two people different amounts of money for doing the same work. But it is not as easy as it appeals at first __21__ to introduce equal pay for equal work.

Two people may be working side by side in a factory and doing the same work, but one may be doing it twice as fast as the __22__; or one may be making no mistakes, while the other is making a lot. In some kinds of work, one can solve the problem of speed if one pays by the amount of work to be done and not by the hour: work paid for in this __23__ is called piece-work. But it is not always possible to do this, so it is sometimes useful to pay workers at different rates, which take differences in skill into __24__. This usually means that the younger and therefore less experienced worker gets less than the __25__ and more experienced one, which seems reasonable enough.

21. A. other B. sight C. older D. way E. account 第五部分：英译汉（共4小题，每小题5分，满分20分）

Help Me To Buy a Spoken English Book

Oct,16th, 2009 Dear Robert,

Haven’t got your email for some time and how are you? I am worried about my English study very much since the final examination is getting nearer and nearer.

I’ve got some problems in my study, especially in spoken English. Sometimes, I’m quite confused with different verbs. So my teacher recommended me a spoken English book, which can be bought in Beijing. Could you please buy one for me?

We haven’t seen each other since we parted. I hope you will take a vacation to Shanghai and I have a lot to tell you. How great we will be together!

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Good luck!

Yours,

Wang Lei
