Section A Ks5u
Directions: For each blank in the following passage, there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context. Ks5u
Billions of people across the world use cell phones. Though cell phones can be wonderful,liberating tools of   50  , freeing us from the confines （界限） of an office and providing more leisure time, they often do the exact   51  . Cell phone use has   52   the line between work and non-work time, increasing stress and tension within families and between friends. As Eric Slate, author of Technoslave commented in his essay: "It seems the more '  53  ' we are, the more detached （不相连的） we become." Ks5u
There is a risk of being too connected. While I was hiking in Spain, I got   54   a few times. I saw new sights and was surprised by   55   landscapes and towns I wouldn't have otherwise come across.

With a cell phone, you're less   57   to go down the wrong street and see new things or unexpectedly meet new people. Ks5u
So, when I recently returned home to Burlington, Vermont, I   58   my cell phone and traded in an old, rusty bike for a regular landline telephone that was connected to the wall and everything.

Now that I'm not __61___ my cell phone, I've met new people on the street and at the supermarket, started   62   with neighbours I haven't spoken with before and talk with my friends face-to-face instead of over the phone. . Ks5u
Instead of   63   me from the world, getting rid of my cell phone has helped me become more in touch with my community. I am no longer a   64   of my cell phone. Ks5u

Section B Ks5u
Directions: Read the following four 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. Ks5u
A Ks5u
After my husband died suddenly from a heart attack, my world crashed around me. My six children were all under 10, and I was burdened with the responsibilities of earning a living, and caring for the children. I was fortunate to find a wonderful housekeeper to care for the children during the week, but from Friday nights to Monday mornings, the children and I were alone. Ks5u
One Friday evening I came home from work to find a big pretty German Shepherd（牧羊犬） on our doorstep. This dog seemed to intend to enter the house. The children liked “German” immediately and begged me to let him in. I agreed to let him sleep in the basement. That night I slept peacefully for the first time in many weeks. Ks5u
The following morning we made phone calls and checked lost-and-found ads for German’s owner, but with no results. Ks5u
On Sunday I had planned to take the children on a picnic. Since I thought it best to leave German behind in case his owner came by, we drove off without him. When we stopped to get gas, we were amazed to see German racing to the gas station after us. No way was he going to be left behind. Ks5u
Monday morning I let him out for a run. He didn’t come back and we were all disappointed. We were convinced that we would never see him again. We were wrong. The next Friday evening, German was back on our doorstep. Again he stayed until Monday morning, when our housekeeper arrived. Ks5u
This pattern repeated itself every weekend for almost 10 months. We grew more and more fond of German. We took comfort in his strong, warm presence, and we felt safe with him near us. As German became part of the family, he considered it his duty to check every bedroom to be sure each child was cozy in bed. Ks5u
Each week, between German’s visits, I grew a little stronger, a little braver and more able to handle; every weekend we were no longer alone and enjoyed his company. Then one Monday morning we patted him on the head and let him out for what turned out to be the last time. We never saw German again. Ks5u
65. The dog first came to the family when________. Ks5u
A. it was needed most                                       B. the writer became strong enough Ks5u
C. the writer was away on a business trip          D. the writer was busy on the weekday Ks5u
66. The family planned to go on a picnic without the German Shepherd because_______. Ks5u
A. it was too wild to control                              B. it was too young to walk so far Ks5u
C. the owner might come by to pick it up           D. it might spoil the trip Ks5u
67. The writer was ________ the German Shepherd. Ks5u
A. afraid of                  B. grateful to                C. cruel to                   D. annoyed with Ks5u
68. Which of the following can’t be used to describe the dog? Ks5u
A. Loyal                      B. Beautiful.                 C. Lovely.                    D. Wild. Ks5u

To: manager@ tastytreat.com.ca Ks5u
Date: Monday, 7 October, 3:34p.m. Ks5u
From: raymondyuen@ canada.net Ks5u
Subject: Complaint Ks5u
Dear Mr. Price, Ks5u
I have eaten in your restaurant many times and have always been happy with the food and service. This makes what happened last Saturday even more disappointing. Ks5u
It was my son’s birthday so we booked a no-smoking table at your restaurant for 7:30 p.m. We arrived on time but were told that our table was not yet ready. At 8:00 p.m., we were given a table in the smoking section. I asked to move but I was told that there were no other tables. A lot of people were smoking so it was uncomfortable and unhealthy. Ks5u
Our first waitress, Janet, was very polite and helpful. She gave us free drinks for waiting so long. Our food also came quickly and looked fresh and tasty. When my wife had eaten most of her meal, she found a dead cockroach （蟑螂） in her vegetables. She was shocked and wanted to leave. At first, the waitress told us it was a piece of garlic（蒜）. When we told her that garlic does not have legs, she apologized and took the food away. Ks5u
We asked for the bill, expecting not to pay for my wife’s meal. Nobody came. After 15 minutes, I asked to see the manager. The head waiter told us that you were on holiday. I complained again about the horrible cockroach. He told me Janet had finished work. He didn’t believe my story and gave me a bill for three meals. I argued with him but was forced to pay. Ks5u
The waitress, Janet, was always friendly, but I would like an apology from your impolite head waiter and a full refund （退款） for our meal. It cost $68. Until then, I will not be eating at your restaurant or recommending it to anyone. Ks5u
You can contact me at 742-3254 or through e-mail if you want more information. Ks5u
Thank you for your attention. Ks5u
Yours sincerely, Ks5u

C Ks5u
Paris has the Eiffel Tower; New York has the Statue of Liberty; and Brussels, the Manneken Ks5u
Piss. Ks5u
Think of the Belgian capital and, if anything, you think of the small peeing （撒尿） boy ____  a 60-meter-high bronze figure standing on a block, supplying a constant stream of water to the basin under him. Ks5u
Some might laugh. But for Jacques Stroobants, the statue is up there with the best of them. Ks5u
“I’m proud of him. People come from all around the world to see him,” says 60-year-old Stroobants with a fatherly glance at the little boy. Ks5u
As the most famous landmark of Brussels, Manneken Piss has a very special place in the heart of Belgians. Ks5u
The original Manneken Piss dates back to 1388, but the statue tourists see today dates from 1619 when the city built a second one after the original was destroyed. Ks5u
Many stories go round Manneken Piss. Nobody knows why he was made. One story is that he saved Brussels by putting out the flames of a deadly fire with his well-aimed piss. But the most believable story is that the boy, the son of a wealthy man, was kidnapped. The father had a statue built in honor of the way his son was found-peeing against a tree. Ks5u
Perhaps best-known for his naked beauty, the “peeing boy” has also been clothed in some of the finest clothes money can buy. Ks5u
Stroobants has been changing his clothes for the last 29 years. On average, he has clothes on 300 days a year. And on special days, he pees beer. Ks5u
A few of the ways he’s been dressed are; a football player, Mozart and an army general. Now, he has more than 600 pieces of clothes. Ks5u
There is no strict charge for those wishing to provide clothes for the little boy. But certain conditions must be met. Ks5u
“The clothes cannot include either advertising or political message,” said Stroobants, because they would cheapen the national treasure. Ks5u
But Manneken Piss is still something local people can make money from ___ by selling all kinds of souvenirs. Ks5u
72. Which of the following is NOT true about Maneken Piss? Ks5u
A. It has a history of more than 600 years.   B. It stands in Brussels. Ks5u
C. It is best known for the clothes he wears.       D. It is 60 meters high. Ks5u
73. The Manneken Piss has a special place in the heart of Belgians because          . Ks5u
A. it’s good-looking with water running constantly Ks5u
B. it brings joys to people who see it Ks5u
C. it helps people make beer Ks5u
D. it’s a symbol of the city. Ks5u
74. We can learn from the passage that          . Ks5u
A. for most of the year, the boy is naked Ks5u
B. Stroobants is probably in charge of taking care of the statue Ks5u
C. people can provide any clothes for Manneken Piss Ks5u
D. people make money by advertising Manneken Piss Ks5u
75．Which of the following is not true according to the passage? Ks5u
A. Tourists cannot provide clothes for the peeing boy. Ks5u
B. The Manneken Piss has attracted many visitors. Ks5u
C. The peeing boy is the national treasure of Belgium. Ks5u
D. Local people make money by selling souvenirs. Ks5u
Ks5u
D Ks5u
When companies do business overseas, they come in contact with people from different cultures. These individuals often speak a different language and have their own particular custom and manners.  These differences can create problems. Ks5u
For example, in France, business meetings begin immediately at the scheduled time and everyone is expected to be there. Foreign business people who are slow in acting are often left outside to cool their heels as a means of letting them know the importance of promptness（准时）. Unless one is aware of such expected behaviors he may end up insulting the people with whom he hopes to establish trade relations. Ks5u
A second traditional problem is that of monetary conversions（货币兑换）. For example, if a trade is conducted with Russia, payment may be made in rubles.  Of course, this particular type of money used in Russia is of little value to the American firm. It is, therefore, necessary to exchange the foreign money to American dollars.  How much are these Russian rubles worth in terms of dollars?   This exchange rate is determined by every market, where the money of countries are bought and sold. Thus there is an established rate, although it is often different from day to day.  For example, the ruble may be worth 0.75 on Monday and 0.72 on Tuesday because of an announced wheat shortage in Russia.  In addition, there is the problem associated with exchange at 0.72.  Some financial institutions may be unwilling to pay this price, feeling that the ruble will sink much lower over the next week. As a result, exchange may finally come at 0.69. These "losses" must be accepted by the company as one of the costs of doing business overseas. Ks5u
A third unique problem is trade barriers.  For one reason or another, all countries impose trade barriers on certain goods crossing their borders. Some trade barriers are directly related to exports. For example, the United States permits strategic military material to be shipped abroad only after government permission has been obtained.  Most trade barriers, however, are designed to restrict import. Two of the most common import barriers are quotas and tariffs. Ks5u
76. The best title for the passage would be ___. Ks5u
A. How to Succeed in International Trade Ks5u
B. Monetary Conversion Ks5u
C. Trade Barriers Ks5u
D. Unique Problems in International Trade Ks5u
77. In France, slow business people ___. Ks5u
A. are often insulted Ks5u
B. often suffer from coldness Ks5u
C. are often left outdoors waiting Ks5u
D. are often asked to polish their shoes Ks5u
78. According to the passage, exchange rates ___. Ks5u
A. seldom change Ks5u
B. are determined by financial institutions Ks5u
C. are agreed upon by two trading countries Ks5u
D. vary from day to day Ks5u
79. Which of the following is not true according to the passage? Ks5u
A. Misunderstanding may occur because of the culture differences. Ks5u
B. Exchange rate can bring losses when doing international trade. Ks5u
C. Most trade barriers are designed to restrict import. Ks5u
D. All the exports must get the permission of the government.  . Ks5u

Section C Ks5u
Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.
A  Preparation for taking a citizenship test Ks5u
B  Citizenship tests in European countries Ks5u
C  Cultural differences and conflicts Ks5u
D  New US Citizenship Test Ks5u
E  Different views on the new citizenship test Ks5u
F  Goal of the new citizenship test
80.
Last week, a sample of the new US citizenship exam was released by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services（US-CIS）. It will be tried out in 10 cities early next year to replace the current test in 2008. Instead of asking how many stripes the US flag has, as the current test does, the new one asks why there are l3 stripes. Instead of having to name the branches of government, an applicant is asked to explain why there are three.
81.
The newly released US citizenship exam has included more information and knowledge. People who take it need to know more about the adopted country and have a deeper insight into its culture and values. “The goal is to make it more meaningful.” explains Emilio Gonzalez, director of the US—CIS. Immigrants who pass it are expected to have a better “understanding and respect” for US civic values, Gonzalez says.
82.
The US isn't the only country dealing with citizenship tests that aim to get a “shared commitment” from immigrants for their adopted country's “values”. In recent years, in addition to the usual requirement of language／work skills and economic status, several European countries have adopted citizenship tests. Britain introduced a new citizenship test last November. In March, a new Dutch law took effect requiring all would-be immigrants to take a citizenship test. It involved watching a video showing nude（裸体的）women bathing at beaches and gay（同性恋的）men kissing in public. The aim was to ensure that “newcomers will be comfortable with the country's liberal social mores（风俗）”.
83.
Europe has been known for welcoming immigrants for decades. But, today, the fact is that some immigrants are kept apart from local citizens by culture and they become hostile （敌对的） to each other. Promoting unity has become a major concern for European countries, after the rioting in Muslim ghettoes（少数民族聚居区）in France and the killing of Dutch public figures by religious extremists.
84.
Officials believe that a person's attachment to a country can be tested by his or her knowledge of the country. However, some critics say that the changes can do little to help people assimilate（同化）themselves. “Immigration is a culture war today. Is giving a new test the right way to lessen the accusations in that fight?” says Ali Noorani, of the Massachusetts Immigrant and Refugee Advocacy Coalition（难民辩护联盟）. Ks5u

Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage. Ks5u
In the next few decades, people are going to travel very differently from the way they do today. Everyone is going to drive electrically-powered cars. So people won’t worry about running out of gas. Some of the large automobile companies are really moving ahead with this new technology. F&C Motors, a major auto company, for example, is holding a press conference next week. After the press conference, the company will present its new electrically-operated models. Ks5u
Transportation in the future won’t be limited to the ground. Many people predict that traffic will quickly move to the sky. In the coming years, instead of radio reports about road conditions and highway traffic, news reports will talk about traffic jams in the sky. But the sky isn’t the limit. You will probably even be able to take a trip to the moon. Instead of listening to regular air-plane announcements, you will hear someone say: the spacecraft to the moon leaves in 10 minutes. Please check your equipment. And remember no more than 10 ounces of carry-on baggage are allowed. Ks5u
Questions: Ks5u

Bad news for Britain: adding milk to tea ruins the health benefits of the drink, according to a Germany study. Tea is believed to help relax, and enable a smoother flow of blood. Scientists at the Charity Hospital in Berlin tested a kind of black tea on 16 healthy women volunteers aged more than 50. The study points out that milk prevents tea from carrying out health-making work. This could explain why Britain, a nation where almost everybody adds milk to their cup, fails to make headway against a kind of heart disease. Ks5u
A series of bombings at three western hotels in Amman, the capital of Jordan, on Nov. 9 caused 58 deaths. A terrorist organization has claimed the responsibility for the attacks. The question “why” was immediately raised after the attacks. Its foreign policy might be able to explain why Jordan became the target. Jordan is a friendly country of the United States and has worked closely with Washington in the war on terrorism, especially since the 9.11 attacks. Ks5u
