You can have days with more or fewer than twenty-four hours, and weeks with more or few
24、er than seven days. If you make a five-day trip across the Atlantic Ocean, your ship enters a different time zone every day. As you enter each zone, the time changes one hour. Traveling west, you set clock back; traveling east, you set it ahead. Each day of your trip has either twenty-five or twenty
25、-three hours. If you travel by ship across the Pacific, you cross the International Date Line. By agreement, this is the point where a new day begins. When you cross the line, you change your calendar one full day, backward or forward. Traveling east, today becomes yesterday; traveling west, it is t
26、omorrow.（分数：10.00）(1).Strange things happen to time when you travel because _.（分数：2.00）A.no day really has twenty-four hoursB.the earth is divided into time zonesC.time zones are not all the same sizeD.no one knows where time zones begin(2).The time difference between two neighboring zones is _.（分数：

In order to have a better understanding, to anticipate what is coming is very important. An effective listener should c
30、ontinuously develop more or less specific readiness for what will come next. If a listener hears what he has expected, it will be much easier for him to receive the information. But if what he hears is totally out of his expectation, he will fail to get the message. The skill to anticipate what is c
31、oming in listening comprehension depends largely on the listener“s familiarity with the theme (主题) of the message. It also depends on the listener“s knowledge of the speaker as well as the situation. Obviously, when we listen to something that we already have some information about, it is generally
32、much easier tor us to take in the new information. Therefore, pre-listening preparation seems to play an important role in increasing our comprehension. Before actual listening, we could perhaps first give some thought to the topic, discuss it with others, and then read some related material and do
33、some vocabulary work. If we could make ourselves fully prepared for the coming talks or lectures, we are more likely to become effective listeners. Of course, readiness beforehand is not at all enough. Active thinking must take place all the way through. In fact, we should always try to think ahead

36、r“s familiarity with the topic(4).In order to anticipate, the first thing to do before actual listening may be _.（分数：2.00）A.do some vocabulary workB.think about the topicC.read some related materialD.discuss the topic with others(5).What is the author“s attitude towards anticipating in listening com
37、prehension?（分数：2.00）A.Neutral.B.Positive.C.Negative.D.Critical.六、Passage Three(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Everyone is exposed to it , so naturally some people will imitate what they see on TV, what they read in the newspapers and what they witness every day. It is better to prevent violence than to try to stop
38、it. Dentists tell you to brush your teeth to prevent cavities so they won“t have to fill the cavity later. People and lawmakers all over the world realize this. The next question is, “How do you prevent violence from happening?“ To answer this question, you may ask yourself, “What causes violence?“
39、Guns are definitely something used in acts of violence, but just about anything will do. Bare hands are often the weapons. What we have to do is to work together as a community and make violence wrong but not to tolerate. We“ve got to find a better solution than jails, and we“ve got to do it now. It
40、“s not something that can wait. The message “Violence is wrong“ has got to be everywhere you look on TV, on street signs, buses, radio, in every kind of languageEnglish, Spanish, French, Hebrew, you name it, so that it can reach all kinds of people. People need to be cool. Violence needs to be label
41、ed as foolish. It cannot be machismo (大男子气概) and toughness. We can reach people in all kinds of ways. Little reminders that “Violence is wrong“ can show up in any way, shape or form: chain letters, a million dollars to anyone who can make a video showing 30 acts of kindness, flyers, newspaper ads, c
42、ontests in schools, a free TV ad to the most peace-loving company and much more. To do so, lots of people have to be willing to work together and break the cycle.（分数：10.00）(1).The pronoun “it“ in the first paragraph refers specifically to _.（分数：2.00）A.TV programB.violenceC.newspaper articlesD.what t

47、come impossible since their kids were born. That“s the way most parents are living their lives, no weekends of their own, no time to visit friends, not even a chance of promotion in their jobs. Asking help from their parents might be a way out, but problems are that some aging parents are not strong
48、 enough to take care of the kids, and that the kids may also become too spoiled by their grandparents. Then, here comes a solution: families with kids can form a small group, and parents of each family can take turns to look after all the kids in this group on weekends. Thus, other parents can have
49、some quiet time and feel free to do something they“ve been planning for a long time. At the same time, the kids can make new friends and won“t be hanging around their parents all day long. This is baby-pooling.（分数：10.00）(1).Many post-80s couples can“t go to the movies, shop or attend parties because _.（分数：2.00）A.they have to look after
