8、ily. That was why he was thinking of taking a job in Birmingham, a nearby city about 50 miles away. He had been offered a job in a factory there, and the pay was far better.

9、if he took the job in Birmingham, he would have to move his family there. Henry Manley was the manager of a small company manufacturing .electric motors.

15、最佳选项。 23 Nice Name But Shes So Deadly 1 More than a million people in the United States were told to leave their homes over the weekend as Hurricane (飓风 ) Dennis headed to the Gulf coast, after killing at least 15 people in the Caribbean Sea. 2 If you read the news often enough, you may notice that
16、all hurricanes are given names. Why is that? Remember, there can be more than one hurricane operating at one time. Without naming them, we could get confused about which storm were talking about. 3 For hundreds of years, hurricanes in the Caribbean were named after the particular religious day on wh
17、ich they occurred. One Australian meteorologist (气象学家 ) began giving womens names to tropical storms at the end of the 19th century, in 1953, the US National Weather Service, which is responsible for tracking hurricanes and issuing warnings, began using female names for storms. By 19791 both women a
18、nd mens names were being used. One name for each letter of the alphabet (字母表 ) is selected, except for Q, U and Z. 4 So who decides which names are used each year?

22、内容，为每题选 1个最佳选项。 31 The Street Violinist I got up and dressed, stuck my violin under my jacket, and went out into the streets to try my luck. I wandered about for an hour, looking for a likely spot, feeling as though I were about to commit a crime. Then I stopped at last under a bridge near the stati
23、on and decided to have a try. I felt tense and nervous. It was the first time, after all. I drew the violin from under my coat like a gun. It was here, in Southampton, with trains rattling overhead, that I was about to declare myself. One morning I was part of the hurrying crowds, the next I stood a
24、part, my back to the wall, my hat on the pavement before me, the violin under my chin. The fist notes I played were loud and raw, like a declaration of protest. Then they settled down and began to run more smoothly and to stay more or less in turn. To my surprise I was neither arrested nor told to s
25、hut up. Indeed, nobody took any notice at all. Then an old man, without stopping, surreptitiously tossed a penny into my hat as though getting out of some guilty evidence. I worked the streets of Southampton for several days, gradually acquiring the truths of the trade by trial and error. It was not
26、 a good thing, for instance, to let the hat fill up with money the sight could discourage the patron. Nor was it wise to empty it completely, which could also confuse him, giving him no hint as to where to drop his money. Placing a couple of pennies in the hat to start the thing going soon became a
27、regular ritual, making sure between tunes, to hide most of the earnings, but always leaving two pennies behind. Old ladies were most generous, and so were women with children, shopgirls, typists and barmaids. As for the man, heavy drinkers were always willing listeners and so were big guys with musc
28、les. But never a man with a gentlemans hat, briefcase or dog. Respectable types were the meanest of all. Except for retired army officers, who Would yell “Why arent you working, young man?“ and then toss some money into the hat to hide their confusion. 31 How long did the author wander about in the
29、streets before he stopped under a bridge? （ A） A day. （ B） An hour. （ C） All morning. （ D） All afternoon. 32 The first time the author played the violin in the street, he expected （ A） he would became a great musician （ B） he would get into trouble （ C） people would be happy to give him money （ D） p
30、eople would stop and listen 33 The first person who gave him money （ A） was an old lady （ B） stopped and listened for a while （ C） dropped the money by mistakes （ D） didnt want to be noticed 34 According to the author, what is the best way to encourage people to give a street violinist money? （ A） T
31、o wear an attractive hat. （ B） To fill up the hat with money. （ C） To leave a couple of pennies in the hat. （ D） To empty the hat completely. 35 The retired army officers gave him money （ A） to show they were most generous （ B） to show they were most respectable （ C） to hide their confusion （ D） to
32、show they were rich 36 Some Things We Know about Language Many things about language are a mystery, and many will always remain so. But some things we do know. First, we know that all human beings have a language of some sort. There is no race of men anywhere on earth so backward that it has no lang
33、uage, no set of speech sounds by which the people communicate with one another. Furthermore, in historical times, there has never been a race of men without a language. Second, there is no such thing as a primitive language. There are many people whose cultures are undeveloped, who are, as we say, u
34、ncivilized, but the languages they speak are not primitive. In all known languages we can see complexities that must have been tens of thousands of years in developing. This has not always been well understood; indeed, the direct contrary has often been stated. Popular ideas of the language of the A
35、merican Indians will illustrate. Many people have supposed that the Indians communicated in a very primitive system of noises. Study has proved this to be nonsense. There are, or were, hundreds of American Indian languages, and all of them turn out to be very complicated and very old. They are certa
36、inly different from the languages that most of us are familiar with, but they are no more primitive than English and Greek. A third thing we know about language is that all languages are perfectly adequate. That is, each one is a perfect means of expressing the culture of the people who speak the la
37、nguage. Finally, we know that language changes. It is natural and normal for language to change; the only languages which do not change are the dead ones. This is easy to understand if we look backward in time. Change goes on in all aspects of language. Grammatical features change as do speech sound
38、s, and changes in vocabulary are sometimes very extensive and may occur very rapidly. Vocabulary is the least stable part of any language. 36 In the second paragraph the author thinks that _. （ A） some backward race doesnt have a language of its own （ B） some race in history didnt possess a language
39、 of its own （ C） any human race, whether backward or not, has a language （ D） some races on earth can communicate without language 37 According to the author, people of underdeveloped cultures can have_ language. （ A） complicated （ B） uncivilized （ C） primitive （ D） well-known 38 The author has used
40、 American Indian language as an example to show that they are _. （ A） just as old as some well-known languages （ B） just as advanced as some well-known languages （ C） more developed than some well-known language （ D） more complex than some well-known language 39 Which of the following statement is I
41、NCORRECT? （ A） Language is a means of expressing a particular culture. （ B） All languages can well express their respective Cultures. （ C） Some primitive languages can also express their cultures. （ D） Some primitive languages are better than other languages. 40 According to the author language chan
42、ges are most likely to occur in _. （ A） grammar （ B） pronunciation （ C） vocabulary （ D） intonation 41 Inspecting a Used Car The scariest part of buying a used car is not being completely sure of what condition its in. A car thats been in a major accident is always a bigger risk, but sellers often tr
43、y to hide this information. Andrew Blealdey, evaluator-inspector, runs a mobile vehicle inspection service in Montreal. For about $ 80 be will perform a full, unbiased inspection on a used vehicle. In his 10 years as a professional inspector, Bleakley has seen a lot. He warns “Watch out for dealer d
44、emonstration vehicles which are used not new. They may have been in a collision.“ He adds that it is not uncommon in Ontario and Quebec especially for unscrupulous sellers to roll back the odometer or to even disengage it. Bleakiey has special tools to check for this. Bleakley always recommends hiri
45、ng all independent technician to inspect the condition of a used car before you buy it. The problem is finding someone qualified to do the inspection. Which he says generally doesnt mean just any mechanic. A thorough mechanical inspection includes checking the compression, all major systems, includi
46、ng the engine, electrical and charging systems, transmission and drive line, fluids, brakes, suspension, and steering. Essential, too, is all inspection of the cars body and finally a road test. There are, however, a few things everyone can do before buying a used Car: Do a visual check of the car.
47、Look at the right rear door hinges. If they are very worn, or the door doesnt close well, the car may have been used as a taxi. Holes in the roof could mean the car was used for deliveries. Check for oil leaks on the pavement. Note that leaks are not necessarily a significant problem- it depends on
48、the cause. Dont assume that new 100 king brake and accelerator pedals mean the car hasht been driven much. Resellers know people check these details and can buy new pads for around $ 6. Copy down the vehicle identification number (VIN), a 17-character combination of numbers and letters, from the veh
49、icles dashboard. In Ontado, ask the dealer or seller for the Used Vehicle Information Package. This gives details of previous owners, any outstanding liens on the car, and the fair market value of the vehicle. collision n.碰撞；碰撞事故 odometer n.里程表 compression n.压缩；压缩量 brake n刹车 pedal n踏脚 lien n，扣押权 unscrupulous adj.办不择手段的 disengage v.松开；使脱离 transmission n传输 suspension n，悬架 hinge n，铰链 dashboard n仪表板 41 According to the passage, in buying a s
