15、on earth. Since the beginning of time, men have looked for this extremely valuable item, gold.Gold is soft and easy to form into different objects. If it gets wet, it does not rust like iron or other metals. Acids do not change it. One important reason that gold is so valuable is that it is scarce.D
16、ue to its softness, gold must be combined with other metals to harden it and give it strength. By hardening gold, people can then make coins and jewelry with it. Metals commonly mixed with gold are nickel, platinum, and copper. Gold jewelry bears a number and the letter K. The K means karat(carat),
17、which is a measure of the amount of pure gold in the jewelry. Pure gold is 24K. Therefore, a necklace which is 14K is fourteen parts gold and ten parts other metal.Many countries utilize gold for certain coins, but this practice is not as common now as it once was. The United States, for instance, s

21、 are increasingly turning to professional career advisers to get.Written by Gordon Miller, the book is aimed at job seekers, people reentering the workforce and those farther along their career paths.It gives advice on how to search for a job or change jobs(or industries)successfully in today s job
22、market.

23、oving job performance within a company and how to shape your career to secure a future in an ever-changing economy.The book is filled with countless stories about people who, with a little coaching, were able to steer their careers in a new direction: a mediocre salesman turns into an excellent perf
24、ormer by learning to use his time more wisely; a recent college graduate wins a key position in a high-tech company, etc.41 The book Career Coach is intended for_.（A）people who are quitting a job（B） people who seek expert career advice（C） people who face a raise or promotion（D）people who are success

28、r goals45 I suppose that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention, and especially if its given from the heart. When people are talking, there s no need to do anything but receive
29、them. Listen to what they re saying. Care about it. Most times caring about it is even more important than understanding it. Most of us don t value ourselves or our love enough to know this. It has taken me a long time to believe in the power of simple saying “Im so sorry. “ when someone is in pain.
30、One of my patients told me that when she tried to tell her story people often interrupted to tell her that they once had something just like that happening to them. Her pain became a story about themselves. Eventually she stopped talking to most people. We connect through listening. When we interrup
31、t what someone is saying to let them know that we understand, we move the focus of attention to ourselves. When we listen, they know we care.I have even learned to respond to someone crying by just listening. In the old days I used to reach for the handkerchiefs, until I realized that passing a pers
32、on a handkerchief may be just another way to shut him down, to take them out of their experience of sadness. Now I just listen. When they have cried all they need to cry, they find me there with them.This simple thing has not been that easy to learn. It certainly went against everything I had been t
33、aught since I was very young. I thought people listened only because they were too shy to speak or did not know the answer. But now I know that a loving silence often has far more power to heal than the kindest words.46 What does the author value most in the communication with each other?（A）Deep und
34、erstanding.（B） Saying “Im sorry“.（C） Attention from heart.（D）Doing nothing.47 The woman s patient stopped telling her story to most people because_.（A）she didnt get enough respect from others（B） she was discouraged by being often interrupted（C） people often told her their own opinions（D）people could
35、n t understand her sad situation48 If you hand a handkerchief to someone crying, you may ,_.（A）hurt his feelings（B） make him embarrassed（C） encourage him to continue to cry（D）stop him from letting out his sorrow49 It can be inferred from the passage that while communicating, _.（A）listening is a perf
36、ect way to respond to others（B） people keep silent because they dont know the answer（C） keeping silent means being too shy to speak（D）it is easy to form the habit of listening silently50 Which of the following might be the authors opinion about communication?（A）Keep silent.（B） Just listen.（C） Be car
37、eful.（D）Tell your own story.50 Africans see many advantages in uniting the continent into a single nation, or in uniting several small nations of a particular region into a nation. In unity there is strength. Africans often point to the United States, formed by the original 13 states, as an illustra
38、tion of this principle. Africa now is divided into many weak nations; united they would be much stronger. Africans could then more easily deal with foreign efforts to control them. Also it would be easier and less expensive to plan and carry out big projects like the building of highways and dams.Th
39、e considerations for African unity go beyond the practical advantages it would bring. As we have seen, the feeling of belonging to a particular nation is not strong among Africans. If, for example, you were to ask a man from Paris, “What are you?“ he would certainly answer, “A Frenchman. “ Ask the s
40、ame question of a man from Ibadan in Nigeria and he might give one of three answers, or all three, depending upon his education and outlook. He might say, “A Yoruba“(his people), or “A Nigerian“ , or just simply “An African“.Another factor that enters into the desire for unity is that educated Afric
41、ans throughout the continent feel that they all have many things in common. Africa s leaders, especially, all lived through the experience of colonial rule. Many of them went to school and university with men who now lead other African countries. They all feel resentful about the way in which they w
42、ere treated in the past. Compared to these strong bonds, which overshadow the borders of nations, the idea of building separate nations does not have so much meaning. Some leaders say they are ready, in fact, to give up their separate nations. Four nations have written into their constitutions a pro
43、vision that the government may give up its power to a Pan-African government.51 The following advantages in the unity of Africa are true EXCEPT_.（A）they can get rid of foreign influences with less difficulties（B） they will be stronger（C） they could spend less money in building their big projects（D）t
44、hey can be united into 13 states as the U. S. A once was52 The first factor that Africans consider African unity is that_.（A）Africans dont have a strong sense of belonging（B） Africans don t like colonial rule（C） they should reduce conflict among nations（D）Africans are ignorant of their history53 Acc
45、ording to the passage, all educated Africans_.（A）feel regretful for what they did to each other in the past（B） are indignant about Africans suffering in colonial time（C） were once schoolmates（D）like to expand their countries54 The word underlined “overshadow“ most probably means “_“.（A）go beyond（B）
46、strengthen（C） reflect（D）divide 55 From the passage, we may judge “a Pan-African government“ refers to_.（A）a government with absolute power（B） a separate country（C） a unity of Africa（D）a constitutional nation二、Cloze55 Entering the drama room I am immediately surrounded by the familiar sights, smells
