24、e(蚁族 )”, a term created by sociologist Lian Si from Peking University in his 2009 book, Ant Tribe. “Theyre so similar to ants. They share small and narrow living areas. Theyre intelligent and hard-working, yet nameless and underpaid.” The term also speaks to their helplessness in a world governed by
25、 the law of the jungle - only the strongest survive. A survey in Lians another book published this year, Ant Tribe II, found nearly 30 percent of “ants” are graduates of famous universitiesalmost three times last years percentage. Most had degrees in popular majors. In addition, 7.2 percent of ants
26、have at least a masters degree compared to 1.6 percent in 2009. An “ants” average monthly salary is l, 904 yuan, with about 64 percent of them earning less than 2,000 yuan a month. Another survey in the 2010 Annual Report on the Development of Chinese Talent found more than 1 million “ants” live in
27、big cities. “Most ants are from rural families or small towns, and their experiences in universities didnt arm them well enough to fight with competitors in big cities employment markets.” Professor Zhang Ming at Renmin University of China said. The “ant tribes” embarrassing living situations have b
28、ecome a serious social problem, and the government should develop smaller cities to attract more graduates from big cities, Zhang believed. However, “ants” expect more study and training opportunities in big cities, which keeps them positive despite their situations. 【小题 1】 Yangs story is introduced

When squeezing past someone in a narrow aisle, people s ay “sorry”. When g
33、etting off a bus, English passengers say “thank you” rather than the driver. In Germany, people would never dream of doing these things. After all, squeezing past others sometimes cant be avoided, and the bus driver is merely doing his job. I used to think the same way, without questioning it, until
34、 I started travelling to the British Isles and came to appreciate some more polite ways of communicating with people. People thank each other everywhere in England, all the time. When people buy something in a shop, customer and retail assistant in most cases thank each other twice or more. In Germa
35、ny, it would be exceptional to hear more than one thank you in such a conversation. British students thank their lecturers when leaving the room. English employers thank their employees for doing their jobs, as opposed to Germans, who would normally think that paying their workers money is already e
36、nough. Another thing I observed during my stay was that English people rarely criticize others. Even when I was working and mistakes were pointed out to me, my employers stressed several times but none of their explanations were intended as criticism. It has been my impression that by avoiding criti
37、cism, English people are making an effort to make others feel comfortable. This also is shown in other ways. British men still open doors for women, and British men are more likely to treat women to a meal than German men. However, I do need to point out here that this applies to English men a bit m
38、ore than it would to Scottish men!

39、sistants in Germany A A customer never says thank you to a retail assistant. B Its always a retail assistant who says thank you. C They may say thank you only once. D they always say thank you to each other. 【小题 3】 We can learn from the last paragraph that Scottish men _. A are more likely to be inv
40、olved in a fighting. B are more polite than English men. C treat women in a polite way. D are not so willing to spend money for women. 【小题 4】 The author develops the text through the method of _. A making comparisons B telling stories C giving comments D giving reasons 答案： 【小题 1】 C 【小题 1】 C 【小题 1】 D
41、 【小题 1】 A In the rush to get to school, you drop a piece of toast on the floor. Do you throw it away or decide its still OK to eat If youre like most people, you eat it. Maybe you follow the “5-second rule”, which claims foods are safe to eat if you pick them up within 5 seconds after dropping them.
42、 But you might want to think again. Scientists now say that 5 seconds is all it takes for foods to become polluted with enough bacteria（细菌） to make you sick. Bacteria can cause many kinds of illnesses. Some kinds of bacteria can grow on food. If you eat foods on which these bacteria are growing, you
43、 can become sick. One of these food-borne bacteria is Salmonella. It makes 1.4 million people sick every year. Salmonella is often found in raw eggs and chicken. Cooking kills these bacteria, which is why it is so important to cook eggs, chicken, and other foods thoroughly. But how long does it take
44、 these bacteria to pollute food A team of scientists in South Carolina did an experiment. First, they placed an amount of Salmonella on three surfaces; wood, tile (瓦片 ), and carpet. They placed a piece of bread and a piece of bologna（一种大红肠） on each surface for 5, 30, or 60 seconds. After just 5 seco
45、nds, both the bread and the bologna picked up enough bacteria to make you sick. So, forget the 5-second rule. If your toast drops on the floor, throw it away and get another piece of clean toast. And this time, be careful not to drop it! 【小题 1】 In which part of a newspaper can you most probably find

48、ds on different foods 答案： 【小题 1】 B 【小题 1】 B 【小题 1】 A “Life is speeding up. Everyone is getting unwell.” This may sound like something someone would say today. But in fact, an unknown citizen who lived in Rome in AD 52 wrote it. We all love new inventions. They are exciting, amazing and can even change our lives.
