Passage One
Questions21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

2

I had just gone to bed after a very hard day when the phone rang, it was an eccentric (怪癖的)
farmer. I had never met him before although I had often heard people talk about him. He sounded
quite nervous and he had been talking for a minute or so before I understood anything. Even then
all I could make out was that someone called Milly had had a very bad accident. I hadn’t the
slightest idea who she was but obviously I had to go.
It had been snowing heavily that day and didn’t know the way. I had been driving for at least
an hour when I finally found his place. He was standing there, waiting for me. It seemed Milly had
died. “She meant more to me than anyone … even my own wife!” he said. I could see that he had
been crying. I thought something terrible had taken place, a possible scandal (丑闻). I was even
more shocked he told me he had put her in the barn (牲口棚). “I Wouldn’t leave her out in the
cold!” he said.
Milly had clearly been a secret lover of his. I was about to tell him he could not expect me to
cover anything up when he opened the barn door. He lifted his candle and I saw a dark figure on
the ground. “She was such a good cow! I wouldn’t let anyone but a doctor touch her!” he said, and
burst into tears again.

Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.

3

A beautiful and very successful actress was the star of a new musical show. Her home was in
the country, but she didn’t want to have to go back there every night, so she rented (租用)an
expensive flat in the center of the city, bought some beautiful furniture(家具) and hired a man to
paint the rooms in new colors.
It was very difficult to get tickets for her show because everybody wanted to see it, so she
decided to give the painter two of the best seats. She hoped that this would make him work better
and more willingly for her. He took the tickets without saying anything, and she heard no more
about them until the end of the month, when she got the painter’s bill. At the bottom of it were the
words “Four hours watching Miss Hall sing and dance, ￡3,”with this note:“After 5
fifteen shillings an hour instead of ten shillings.”
26. In the article,“Miss Hall”was the name of______.

30. In the story, made a mistake.

Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
Farmer Ed Rawlings smiles as he looks at his orange trees. The young oranges are growing
well in Florida’s weather. Warm sunshine and gentle rains, along with Ed Rawlings’ expert care,
will produce a good crop of oranges this year.

4

But Ed has to fight against Florida’s changeable winter weather. In January and February,
temperatures can destroy Ed’s entire orange crop. Having farmed in Florida for the past 35 years,
Ed Rawlings is prepared for the frosts. When temperatures drop below freezing, Ed tries to save
his crop by watering his orange trees. The water freezes and forms a thin layer (层) of ice on the
trees. Strange as it may sound, this thin layer of ice actually keeps the fruit warm.
What happens is simple. When the trees are watered, the water loses heat and becomes ice.
The warmth of the heat it loses is sucked in by the fruit and keeps its temperature at a safe level.
Ed Rawlings has effectively used this method to save many orange crops.
But Ed still faces some difficulties. The trees should be watered at the exact moment the
temperature drops to the freezing point. Also, just the right quantity of water must be used. Too
much water can form a thick layer of ice that will break the branches of the trees. Another
difficulty is that wind blows away the heat. So Ed has to worry about not only when but also how
often his trees should be watered, and how much water should be used.
Computer technology may help Ed Rawlings with some of these worries. With equipment, air
and soil temperatures and wind speed can be measured. The information is fed into a computer
which can tell when temperatures drop to freezing. The computer can correctly decide the quantity
of water to be used and how frequently the trees should be watered. Ed Rawlings will find looking
after his orange trees a lot easier with the help of a computer, and we’ll all have the benefits(or
advantages) of computer-age oranges.
31. The passage is mainly about _____.
A. a farmer’s expert care for his orange trees
B. the different uses of computers
C. growing oranges in Florida’s changeable weather
D. different ways of frost protection
32. Ed tried to protect his crop by .
A. using a wind machine to drive away the cold air
B. equipping his orange trees with a computer
C. watering it at the proper time
D. picking fruit at the first sign of frost
33. In the writer’s eyes, computers .

5

A. are too expensive for small farmers
B. can be a valuable tool for the farmer
C. can be used to help oranges grow bigger
D. cannot take the place of the farmer’s experience and judgement
34. Which of the following is NOT NECESSARY for Ed to do? .
A. He should water the orange trees as soon as the temperature drops to the freezing point.
B. He should decide the quantity of water for the orange trees.
C. He has to water the orange trees more often in January and February.
D. He has to judge how often he should water the orange trees.
35. According to the passage, the computer technology can .
A. get rid of the need for the frost protection
B. help the farmer get a better harvest
C. tell the farmer why outdoor temperature changes
C. prevent the temperature from dropping to the freezing point

When you have an interview, you should monitor your body language. How you move and

7

gesture wil greatly influence an interviewer’s first impression of you. In an influential study of
communications, the psychologist discovered that 7 percent of any message about our feelings and
attitudes comes from the words we use, 38 percent from our voice, and a surprising 55 percent
from our facial expressions. In fact, when our facial expression or tone of voice conflicts with our
words, the listener will typically put more weight on the nonverbal message. Monitor your body
language to make sure you don’t seem too desperate for the job, or too eager to eye
contact is also important. One study found that job applicants who make more eye contact are
perceived as more careful, dependable, confident and responsible.
