Your voice must do the job. A good voice is pleasant to listen to because it communic
26、ates a positive message. Keep in mind the following qualities of a good voice: Speak in a voice neither too loud nor too soft. Speak louder when giving important information. Speak slowly enough so that the listener has a chance to understand your messages without your having to repeat it. Keep in m

32、e time of the year. The best method to service your car is to go to your car service station and have the servicing done methodically (有条理地) according to your car maker. Consider this: Your car is up and running smoothly but the mileage (里程) figures indicate that you need to have it serviced. Certai
33、nly, this is the right thing to do but have you wondered what actually goes in to make you pay that servicing bill every 6 months? Servicing your car is a simple DIY (Do It Yourself) job that you can learn quickly and easily to save some good money. If you have never serviced your car before persona
34、lly, here“s your resource: Car servicing essentially means inspecting the car thoroughly for any damaged components, and replacing some parts regularly that wear out over time. If you review carefully it is certainly possible to do all this by yourself, as below: You will need a complete set of tool
35、s as provided by your car maker when you purchased the vehicle. This will usually consist of all the spanners (扳手) that you might need.

39、1，分数：10.00)There is a definite possibility that the climate of the world may be changing. Some scientists imagine that this could even mean the beginning of another ice age. The effects of such a change in climate on the human population of the world would be startling. Recent research suggests that
40、 the general warming trend of the past hundred years or so may be coming to an end. During the past ten years, meteorologists tell us the average temperature of the earth has dropped about one degree Fahrenheit. This does not seem like much, but it could have effects on wind and rain patterns which
41、influence the overall weather picture. If these patterns change a lot, it could mean that certain regions of the world may continue to have long droughts while others will possibly suffer from widespread flooding. What regulates the climate is not exactly known. Meteorologists believe that clouds ma
42、y be an important factor in regulating the amount of solar heat held by the earth, which in turn determines the temperature of the planet. Another possibility is that man“s industrial and agricultural methods may be affecting the natural weather patterns. However, the weather is not understood well
43、enough for scientists to say for certain what is happening to the climate and what side effects this will actually have on the world“s population.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the text, the climate of the world seems to _.（分数：2.00）A.be getting colderB.be getting warmerC.remain the same in the past ten

45、on for the changing climate.(3).A meteorologist is a person who _.（分数：2.00）A.reads weather forecasts on radio or televisionB.thinks there will be another ice ageC.studies and knows about the weatherD.believes there will be widespread flooding(4).Which of the following may be factors that affect the
46、natural weather patterns?（分数：2.00）A.Clouds.B.The amount of heat the earth receives.C.Man“s industrial and agricultural methods.D.All of the above.(5).The best title for the text would be _.（分数：2.00）A.Droughts and FloodsB.MeteorologistsC.Changing ClimateD.Solar Heat七、Passage 4(总题数：1，分数：10.00)The Engl
47、ish have the reputation of being very different from all other nationalities. It is claimed that living on an island separated from the rest of Europe has much to do with it. Whatever the reasons, it may be fairly stated that the Englishman has developed some attitudes and habits distinguishing him
48、from other nationalities. Broadly speaking, the Englishman is a quiet, shy, and reserved person among people he knows well. Before strangers he often seems inhibited, even embarrassed. You have only to witness a railway compartment any morning or evening to see the truth. Serious-looking businessmen
49、 and women sit reading their newspapers or dozing (打盹) in a corner, and no one speaks. An English wit once suggested to overseas visitors, “On entering a railway compartment shake hands with all the passengers.“ Needless to say, he was not being serious. There is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior, which, if broken, makes the pe
