Passage 1
When did you last see a polar bear(北极熊)? On a trip to a zoo, perhaps? If you had attended a winter activity in New York a few years ago, you would have seen a whole polar bear club. These "Polar Bears" are people who meet frequently in the winter to swim in freezing cold water. That day, the air temperature was 3℃, and the water temperature was a bit higher. The members of the Polar Bear Club at Coney Island, New York are usually about the age of 60. Members must satisfy two requirements. First, they must get along well with everyone else in the group, this is very important because there are so many different kinds of people in the club. Polar Bears must also agree to swim outdoors at least twice a month from November through February.
Doctors do not agree about the medical effects of cold-water swimming. Some are worried about the dangers of a condition in which the body's temperature drops so low that finally the heart stops. Other doctors, however, point out that there is more danger of a heart attack during summer swimming because the difference between the air temperature and water temperature is much greater in summer than in winter.
The Polar Bears themselves are satisfied with the benefits of cold-water swimming. They say that their favorite form of exercise is very good for the circulatory system(循环系统)because it forces the blood to move fast to keep the body warm. Cold-water swimmers usually turn bright red after a few minutes in the water. A person who turns blue probably has a very poor circulatory system and should not try cold-water swimming.
The main benefits of cold-water swimming are probably mental. The Polar Bears love to swim year-round; they find it fun and relaxing. As one 70-year-old woman says. "When
I go into the water, I pour my troubles into the ocean and let them float away."
11. The members of the Polar Bear Club must meet the following requirements except
that_____.
A. they should be easy to make friends with
B. they must swim outdoors at least 8 times in the four cold months
C. they must agree to swim outdoors from November through February
D. they must reach the age of 60
12. Doctors _____.
A. encourage people to take part in cold-water swimming actively
B. point out the possible danger of blood illness during cold-water swimming
C. believe swimming is helpful both in winter and in summer
D. have different ideas about the medical effects of cold-water swimming
13. According to the passage, some doctors believe it is true that _____.
A. you are healthy if cold-water swimming turns your skin color blue
B. cold-water swimming causes more heart attacks in summer than in winter
C. cold-water swimming can make the body temperature dangerously high
D. Polar Bears are bears swimming in freezing water
14. The Polar Bears like to swim all the year round, for _____.
A. they can remain young
B. it is an easy way to keep the body warm in winter
C. they find it enjoyable and interesting
D. they might meet fewer troubles in life
15. The passage is mainly about _____.
A. a group of cold-water swimming lovers
B. the Polar Bears' life in New York

D. the requirements of the Polar Bear Club
Passage 2
Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country's economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the well-being (health and happiness) of local inhabitants.
Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country's economy can suffer.
On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose) jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first-class roads, and other support facilities needed by tourists attractions. For example, a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.
Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough
tourists, jobs and money are lost.
16. Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the paragraph that goes before this passage?
A) Support facilities are highly necessary.
B) Building roads and hotels is essential.
C) It is extremely important to develop tourism.
D) Planning is of great importance to tourism.
17. Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT ___________.
A) pressure on traffic
B) a change of tourists' customs
C) overcrowdedness of places of interest
D) a bad effect on other industries
18. Not enough tourism can lead to ______________.
A) an increase of unemployment
B) the higher cost of support facilities
C) a decrease in tourist attractions
D) a rise in price and a fall in pay
19. It is good for local people to know well that tourism will ______________.
A) use up a large amount of water
B) help establish their customs
C) weaken their economy
D) help improve their life
20. The word "handle" in the last paragraph most probably means ___________.
A) deal with B) get in C) take down D) pick up
Passage 3
Many people with ordinary jobs may dream of long holidays in foreign countries, but they know they couldn't afford them even if they could get enough time off from the company. However, there are a few businesses which have started schemes to reward employees with long service by giving them a chance to fulfill such ambitions by providing both the time and the money.
One company gives every employee over 50 years old and who has been with them for 25 years, six months' holiday on full pay. At the same time additional money can be made available by way of loans, to help them with projects they cannot otherwise offer. Most of the people who have already benefited from the scheme, have used the opportunity to travel to distant places like the Far East or South America and some have spent the money on their favorite hobbies, such as photography.
The cost of providing these special holidays is fairly high but the directors feel it is well worthwhile because the employees are greatly refreshed by their long break from the pressures and routines of their jobs. The only problems are that the people concerned tend
to have key jobs which can be difficult to fill on a temporary basis for a relatively long time. Besides, some employees find it difficult to re-adjust to the old routine after such a long time away. In addition, one or two people may not feel secure at leaving their job in someone else's hands. On balance, however, there is no doubt that the idea is beneficial to industrial relations and a wonderful reward for long service.
21. Many workers would like to ___________.
A) dream of long holidays at home
B) spend a long time in unusual places
C) buy a holiday away from home
D) have a long holiday after many years
22. One company____________.
A) gives money to employees over 25 years
B) lends staff money to go on holidays
C) allows long holidays to certain staff
D) arranges long holidays for old employees
23. Most of the employees in the scheme ____________.
A) enjoy leisure activities B) develop their hobbies
C) take up photography D) take foreign trips
24. The directors feel that _____________.
A) the staff get a lot of pleasures from the scheme
B) older staff are very enthusiastic about holidays
C) the scheme is more expensive than they expected
D) the scheme is beneficial to staff relations
25. One of the problems is that ________________.
A) it is difficult to fill a temporary job
B) some employees are afraid of their colleagues
C) it is difficult for some people to re-adjust to the old routine after a long break
D) employees don't feel secure when they are away
Passage 4
If U.S. software companies don't pay more attention to quality, they could kiss their business good-bye. Both India and Brazil are developing a world-class software industry. Their weapon is quality and one of their jobs is to attract the top U.S. quality specialists whose voices are not listened to in their country.
Already, of the world's 12 software houses that have earned the highest rating in the world, seven are in India. That's largely because they have used new methodologies rejected by American software specialists. For example, for decades, quality specialists, W. Edwards Deming and J. M. Juran had urged U.S. software companies to change their attitudes to quality. But their quality call mainly fell on deaf ears in the U.S. -but not in Japan. By the 1970s and 1980s, Japan was grabbing market share with better, cheaper
products. They used Deming's and Juran's ideas to bring down the cost of good quality to as little as 5% of total production costs. In U.S. factories, the cost of quality then was 10 times as high: 50%. In software, it still is.
Watts S. Humphrey spent 27 years at IBM heading up software production and then quality assurance. But his advice was seldom paid attention to. He retired from IBM in 1986. In 1987, he worked out a system for assessing and improving software quality. It has proved its value time and again. For example, in 1990 the cost of quality at Raytheon Electronics Systems was almost 60% of total software production costs. It fell to 15% in 1996 and has since further dropped to below 10%.
Like Deming and Juran, Humphrey seems to be wining more praises overseas than at home. The India government and several companies have just founded the Watts Humphrey Software Quality Institute at the Software Technology Park in Chennai, India.
Let's hope that U.S. lead in software will not be eaten up by its quality problems. 26. What country has more highest-rating companies in the world than any other country has?
A. Germany.
B. The U.S.
C. Brazil
D. India
27. Which of the following statements about Humphrey is true?
A. He is now still an IBM employer.
B. He has worked for IBM for 37 years.
C. The US pays much attention to his quality advice.
D. India honors him highly.
28. By what means did Japan grab its large market share by the 1970s and the 1980s?
A. Its products were cheaper in price and better in quality.
B. Its advertising was most successful.
C. The US hardware industry was lagging behind .
D. Japan hired a lot of India software specialists.
29. What does the founding of the Watts Humphrey Software Quality Institute symbolize?
A. It symbolizes the US determination to move ahead with its software
B. .It symbolizes the India ambition to take the lead in software.
C. It symbolizes the Japanese efforts to solve the software quality problem.
D. It symbolizes the Chinese policy on importing software.
30. What is the writer worrying about?
A. Many US software specialists are working for Japan.
B. The quality problem has become a worldwide problem.
C. The US will no longer be the first software player in the world.
D. India and Japan are joining hands to compete with the US.

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 g rammar. Sometimes, I’m quite confused with different tenses. So my teacher recommended me a grammar book, 《Advanced English Grammar》, which can be bought in Beijing. Could I trouble you to buy one for me? We haven’t seen each other since we parted. I hope you will take a vocation to Shanghai and I have a lot to tell you. How great we will be together! Looking forward to hearing from you. Good luck!

I think you must have much experience in it, could you recommend me some books for practice? Looking forward to hearing from you! Best wishes Jean 12.1.你喜欢什么运动2.你如何喜欢上这项运动3.运动对 你有什么好处（工作、学习和生活） Sports Just as lots of teenagers take to pop music, I love basketball. It’s part of my life. I began to play basketball in my childhood. I still remember the good old days when I played with my classmates after school. Later on, as I grew up, almost everything changed, but this sport—playing basketball remained and my love of it grew even stronger. I love this sport because it brings joys and health to my life. When I got tired from office work, I went to the sports ground and felt refreshed. If there were worries and cares from daily life, I went to the sports ground. There everything went away except basketball. It is basketball that keeps me in good shape and mood. 14.介绍你的近况。2.请他帮你买英语口语书。3.欢迎他 方便时来访。 Oct.16,2007Dear Li Hua, It’s long time we haven’t seen each other. I miss you very much. How’s everything going on with you ? I am busy preparing for PETS 4. I would appreciate if you could help me buy PETS 4 English oral textbook which was issued by the Beijing Press, because the books were sold out here. Drop in when you are free. I often think of those happy days we spent together when we were at University. Please let me know as soon as possible once you get the book. My best wishes. Yours truly, Wang Lei 15.. Bad Manners in Public 1. 列举人们在公共场所的不良现象. 2. 对其中某一种现象陈述你的看法, 并简单说明理由. 3.公共场所的不良举止行为 Although we consider ourselves as highly advanced beings living in a civilized society, bad manners can still be found here and there. For example, some cyclists run the red traffic lights, many passengers litter waste papers and plastic bags in the public places, and some tourists scrabble in tourist attractions, let alone spit on the street. In the cinema, some audience talk loudly on cell phones in front of others. I’m strongly against talking loudly in the cinema, for this behavior shows no respect at all to others; what’s more, it upsets the audience who are in the mood of having fun. 16. My Opinion on Cell Phones 1.使用手机的好处 2.使用手机的弊端 3.我的看法 Cell phones do play an important role in people’s daily life, but every coin has its two sides. To start with, as a wireless mobile phone, it’s convenient for the user at any time to contact others. Secondly, it’s a helpful companion. With a multifunctional cell phone in hand, one can easily surf the net, downloading what he needs. However, the cell phone has many disadvantages. For one thing, the machine itself is very expensive and its local service is very costly, not to mention its global service. For another, the radiation from the mobile phones might do harm to the user’s health. In my opinion, with its expenses being reduced sharply after China’s entry into the WTO, its development will have a brighter future. Therefore its advantages will far outweigh it disadvantages. 17.1、你喜欢什么运动2、你如何喜欢上这种运动3、运 动对你有什么益处（工作、学习和生活） Just as lots of teenagers take to pop music, I love basketball. It’s part of my life.
