Do you like yellow, orange, or red? If you do, you must be an optimist(乐观主义者), a leader, an active person who enjoys life,people and exci
15、tement. Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist(悲观主义者). At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colours preference, as well
16、as the effect that colours have on human beings. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favourite colour as we grow upwe are born with our preference. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly. Colours do
17、 influence our moodsthere is no doubt about it. A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, use
18、d to be the scene of more suicides(自杀)than any other bridge in the areauntil it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell down sharply; perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue. Light and bright colours make people not only ha
19、ppier but more active. It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.（分数：10.00）(1).The sentence “You would rather follow than lead“ in paragraph 1 means that you would_.（分数：2.00）A.like to
20、lead followersB.like to be a leader rather than a followerC.be a member rather than a leaderD.be afraid of following others(2).If one enjoys life, one is sure to prefer_.（分数：2.00）A.blue to yellowB.blue to orangeC.red to yellowD.red to grey(3).Which of the following statements is true?（分数：2.00）A.Peop

22、ed suicide preferred the bridge over the Thames River to others because of its_.（分数：2.00）A.shapeB.colourC.structureD.materials(5).The main idea of the passage is that_.（分数：2.00）A.colours affect people s moodB.colours affect peoples characterC.bright colours make people more activeD.colours preferenc
23、e shows peoples courageCharlotte Hollins knows she faces a battle. The 23-year-old British farmer and her 21-year-old brother Ben are fighting to save the farm from the city developers that their father worked on since he was 14. While she is confident they will succeed, she lists farming s many cha
24、llenges:“ You dont often get a day off. Supermarkets put a lot of pressure on farmers to keep prices down. With fewer people working on farms it can be isolating,“ she said. “There is a high rate of suicide and farming will never make you rich! “ Oliver Robinson, 25, grew up on a farm in Yorkshire.
25、But he never considered staying on his father and grandfather s land. “I. m sure Dad hoped I d stay,“ he said. “I guess it s a nice, straightforward life, but it doesn t appeal. For young ambitious people, farm life would be a hard world. “ For Robinson, farming doesn t offer much in terms of money
26、or lifestyle. Hollins agrees that economics stops people from pursuing farming rewards: “ providing for a vital human need, while working outdoors with nature. “ Farming is a big political issue in the UK. “Buy British“ campaigns encourage consumers not to buy cheaper imported foods. The 2001 “food
27、and mouth crisis“ closed thousands of farms, stopped meat exports, and raised public consciousness of troubles in British farming. Jamie Oliver s 2005 campaign to get children to eat healthily also highlighted the issue. This national concern brings hope for farmers competing with powerful supermark
28、ets. While most people buy food from the big supermarkets, hundreds of independent Farmers Markets are becoming popular.（分数：10.00）(1).Charlotte Hollins is talking about her feeling of a battle between_.（分数：2.00）A.the poor and the richB.farmers and city developersC.small markets and supermarketsD.you
29、ng people and their parents(2).In the eyes of Charlotte Hollins, _makes fewer people work on farms.（分数：2.00）A.a low rate of suicideB.rich life of farmersC.hard life on the farmsD.high prices of farm products(3).According to the passage, more and more young people leave their fathers land because far

31、sage, Farmers Markets are becoming popular because_.（分数：2.00）A.thousands of farms are closedB.farmers are the owners of the marketsC.more people are concerned about healthy foodD.Jamie Oliver s 2005 campaigns urge people to “Buy British“No one knows exactly how many disabled people(残疾人)there are in
32、the world, but estimates suggest the figure is over 450 million. The number of disabled people in India alone is probably more than double the total population of Canada. In the United Kingdom, about one in ten people have some disability. Disability is not just something that happens to other peopl
33、e: as we get older, many of us will become less mobile, hard of hearing or have failing eyesight. Disablement can take many forms and occur at any time of life. Some people are born with disabilities. Many others become disabled as they get older. There are many progressive disabling diseases. The l
34、onger time goes on, the worse they become. Some people are disabled in accidents. Many others may have a period of disability in the form of a mental illness. All are affected by peoples attitude towards them. Disabled people face many physical barriers. Next time you go shopping or to work or visit
35、 friends, imagine how you would manage if you could not get up steps, or on to buses and trains. How would you cope if you could not see where you were going or could not hear the traffic? But there are other barriers: prejudice can be even harder to break down and ignorance inevitably represents by
36、 far the greatest barrier of all. It is almost impossible for the able-bodied to fully appreciate what the severely disabled go through, so it is important to draw attention to these barriers and show that it is the individual person and their ability, not their disability, which counts.（分数：10.00）(1
37、).The first paragraph tells us that_.（分数：2.00）A.the number of disabled people in India is the greatestB.there are less than 450 million disabled people in the worldC.there are more than 450 million disabled people in the worldD.the number of disabled people in India is equal to the total population

39、-bodied might lose some of their body functions when they get older.D.The whole society should pay attention to the barriers faced by the disabled people.(4).The clause “which counts“ in the last paragraph means that_.（分数：2.00）A.ability is the most importantB.disability is includedC.disability is co
40、nsideredD.barriers is the most important(5).It can be concluded from the passage that_.（分数：2.00）A.we should try our best to prevent disablementB.we should take a proper attitude towards the disabledC.the able-bodied will never fully understand the disabledD.both physical and mental barriers are hard
41、 to break downIt is really a surprise that after hundreds of years, educationists have still failed to design anything more efficient and reliable than examinations. It is claimed that examinations test what you know, but it is common knowledge that they more often do the exact opposite. They may be
42、 a good means of testing memory, or the skills of working rapidly under extreme pressure, but they can tell you nothing about a person s true ability. As anxiety-makers, examinations are second to none. That is because so much depends on them. They are the mark of success or failure in our society.
43、Your whole future may be decided in one fateful day. No one can show his best in worry, or after a sleepless night, yet this is precisely what the examination system expects him to do. A good education should, among other things, train you to think for yourself. The examination system, however, does
44、 anything but that. What has to be learnt is laid down by a syllabus(教学大纲), so the student is encouraged to memorize. Examinations do not motivate a student to read widely, and they do not enable him to seek more and more knowledge. Furthermore, teachers themselves are often judged by the results of
45、 their students examinations. Consequently, they have to train their students to master exam techniques which they dislike. The most successful candidates are not always the best educated but the best trained. The results on which so much depends are often nothing more than a subjective assessment b
46、y some anonymous(匿名的)examiners. They certainly make mistakes, because they have to mark mountains of scripts(答卷)in a limited amount of time. They work under the same sort of pressure as the candidates.（分数：10.00）(1).The main idea of this passage is that examinations are_.（分数：2.00）A.anxiety-makersB.re
47、liable and efficientC.harmful to educationD.good measures of memory(2).It is clear that the author_examinations.（分数：2.00）A.argues forB.argues againstC.is indifferent toD.is interested in(3).The fate of students is decided by_according to the passage.（分数：2.00）A.examinationB.teachingC.educationD.learn
48、ing(4).According to the author, the most importance of a good education is to_.（分数：2.00）A.encourage students to read widelyB.teach students how to tackle examsC.train students to think on their ownD.encourage students to seek more knowledge(5).Which statement is NOT mentioned in the passage?（分数：2.00
49、）A.Examinations can make students anxious.B.The examiners might make mistakes in marking.C.Teachers work is judged based on the results of examinations.D.Tools better than examinations to best students ability have been found.三、Cloze(总题数：1，分数：40.00)When I come across a good article in reading newspapers, I
