It gives me great pleasure today to say a few words in praise of a man we will all miss very much. To be honest, I can’t imagine we will do without him when he’s gone. Bill Masters almost single-handed built up our sales force in the Houston area and developed the market position that we enjoy today. In only six years, he has brought the firm from a very low fifth position in the area sales to the point where we now outsell all but one of our competitors. Not only have we got 37 percent of the market under Bill’s leadership; we are increasing our share with each passing month.
As you know, the company has moved Bill to northern California to work his sales magic in one of this company’s most competitive areas. But we know that if anyone can do it, Bill Masters can, and I know you all join me in wishing him the best of luck in his new work.

Beijing—A recent Chinese blockbuster(轰动的作品) “A World Without Thieves” is based on the experiences of a young migrant worker carrying 60,000 yuan on a train packed with thieves. But while the image of a warm-hearted but somewhat naive migrant worker may have made film fans chuckle, it’s a sure bet that most of China’s migrant workers are yet to step into a cinema to admire it.
“Forty yuan a ticket? I can’t afford it,” said Shen Jie, a migrant worker at a construction site in Dongzhimen, east Beijing.
Shen found it hard to remember when he last saw a film, or what it was about. “It must be 10 years ago,” he said.
Though they are the builders of the nation’s theaters and cinemas, a limited cultural life is common among China’s 120 million migrant workers.
Shen arrived from East China’s Zhejiang Province in 1991. Life was better then; money seemed to come more easily. “Now, as more and more workers are rushing to the capital, it’s too hard to earn money, and none of us dare think about seeing films,” he said.
For many like Shen, the dream is earning enough to pay for their children’s education so they can find jobs in the cities and say goodbye to the hardships of rural life forever. This drives them to work hard and save as much as possible.
With a monthly salary of less than 500 yuan, Shen has to send money home to his little son and silver-haired parents.
In Shen’s small dormitory, which he shares with seven other co-workers, there is a well-thumbed copy of a magazine published in 1998.
A recent survey by local media revealed that 80 percent of migrant workers spent their spare time sleeping and chatting because of exhaust and a lack of income. The same survey found that 47 percent of migrant workers have to work for more than 10 hours a day. Around 40 percent do not even possess a book, and nearly 60 percent say they are dissatisfied with their cultural life.
Like many of Shen’s co-workers, reading newspapers and hanging out in Beijing’s streets provide evening entertainment.
( )45．We can infer from the passage “A World Without Thieves” is a film that .
A．talks about experiences of a group of thieves
B．deals with the life of migrant workers
C．explains how to catch thieves on trains
D．attracts many migrant workers
( )46．As for the migrant worker, Shen Jie, .
A．life was harder when he first came to work in Beijing
B．he enjoyed a lot of films ten years ago
C．his wish was to pay for his son’s education
D．the capital is too hard a place for him to make any money
( )47．According the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A．the workers enjoy reading very much, no matter how old the magazines are
B．the workers have so little to read that they often read the same magazine again and again
C．the workers enjoy magazines because they are easy to understand
D．the workers think highly of the copy of the magazine published in 1998
( )48．The main idea of this passage is that migrant workers .
A．lack cultural experiences B．are not very well-paid in Beijing
C．are looked down upon by city people D．need the government’s attention
C
The private automobile has long played an important role in the United States. In fact, it has become a necessary and important part of the American way of life. In 1986, 69 percent of American families owned at least one car, and 38 percent had more than one. By giving workers rapid transportation, the automobile has freed them from having to live near their place of work. This has encouraged of the growth of the cities, but it has also led to traffic problems.
For farm families the automobile is very helpful. It has made it possible for them to travel to town very often for business and for pleasure, and also to transport their children to distant schools.
Family life has been affected in various ways. The car helps to keep families together when it is used for picnics, outings, and other shared experiences. However, when teenage children have the use of the car, their parents can’t keep an eye on them. There is a great danger if the driver has been drinking alcohol or taking drugs — or is “showing off” by speeding or breaking other traffic laws. Mothers of victims of such accidents have formed an organization called MADD(Mothers Against Drunk Driving). These women want to prevent further tragedies(悲剧). They have worked to encourage the government to limit the youngest drinking age. Students have formed a similar organization, SADD(Students Against Drunk Driving) and are spreading the same message among their friends.
For many Americans the automobile is a necessity. But for some, it is also a mark of social position and for young people, a sign of becoming an adult. Altogether, cars mean very much to Americans.
( )49．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the text?
A．Cars have encouraged the growth of the cities.
B．Cars can bring families together when they go for picnics.
C．Cars have enabled people to live far from their place of work.
D．Cars help city families to transport their children to faraway schools.
( )50．What has been done to deal with the problem of drunk driving?
A．Parents have paid more attention to their children.
B．Some organizations have been set up against drunk driving.
C．Mothers have tried to persuade their children not to drink alcohol.
D．University students have asked the government to solve the problem.
( )51．We can infer from the text that in America.
A．it will be more difficult for people to get new cars
B．parents will not allow their children to have their own cars
C．the government will encourage people to use public transportation
D．cars will still be popular though they have caused many problems
D
Full face transplants are no longer science fiction fantasy(幻想), a leading surgeon has said, adding that they are technically feasible(可行的) but ethically(道德的) complex.
Peter Butler from London’s Royal Free Hospital called for a debate on the ethics of such an operation made possible by new drugs which stop the body’s immune system(免疫系统) rejecting a transplanted face. “It is not ‘can we do it?’ but ‘should we do it?’” he told the BBC. “The technical part is not complex, but I don’t think that’s going to be the very great difficulty …. The ethical and moral debate is obviously going to have to take place before the first facial transplantation. ”
The British Association of Plastic Surgeons(整形外科医生) will discuss the microsurgical procedure(微型外科技术), which could give new skin, bone, nose, chin, lips and ears from deceased donors(捐赠人) to patients disfigured损伤外貌 by accidents, burns or cancer. But surgeons could have trouble finding enough willing donors. Butlers said his survey of doctors, nurses and members of the public showed most would accept a face transplant but few were willing to donate their own after dying.
Despite a number of ethical concerns, Christine Piff, who founded the charity Let’s Fact It after suffering a rare facial cancer 25 years ago, welcomed the possibility of face transplants. She rejected the idea that the procedure would mean people would end up living with a dead person’s face. “There are so many people without faces, I have half a face …, but we are all so much more than just a face …, you don’t take on their personality. You are still you,” she told reporters. “If we can donate other organs of the body then why not the face. I can’t see anything wrong with it.”
( )52．The underlined word “deceased” in the third paragraph probably means .
A．willing B．dead C．diseased D．dying
( )53．When Christine Piff says “There are so many people without faces…”, she refers to the people .
A．who are dishonorable and shameless
B．who have got their faces transplanted
C．who are seriously injured by accident
D．who are disfigured by accidents, burns and cancer
( )54．According to the passage, what makes it likely to carry out a facial transplantation?
A．Drugs are available to stop the body’s immune system rejecting a transplanted face.
B．It’s morally practical, though technically complex.
C．Most people accept the idea of face transplants.
D．The British Association of Plastic Surgeons has performed the operation.
( )55．What is implied but not stated in the passage?
A．Christine Piff has been the first lucky patient to receive a face transplant.
B．Surgeons have difficulty finding enough willing donors.
C．The main difficulty with the operation lies in the matter of ethics and morality.
D．Nobody other than Christine Piff is quite in favor of the donation of organs.
( )56．What would be the best title for the text?
A．First Facial Transplantation B．Debate on the Ethics of Face Transplant
C．Let’s Face It D．Face Transplant No Longer Science Fiction
E
While income worry is a rather common problem of the aged, loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face. Of all the reasons that explain their loneliness, a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one. This phenomenon is commonly known as “Empty Nest Syndrome”(空巢综合症).
In order to seek better chances outside their countries, many young people have gone abroad, leaving their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home. Their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them. The fact that most of these young people have gone to Europeanized or Americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries. Whatever the case, it had been noted that the values they hold not necessarily match what they actually do. This geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing response in time for their aged parents living by themselves.
The situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as “distant parent phenomenon”, which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries. Our society has not yet been well prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”.
( )57．According to the passage, the loneliness of aged parents is mainly caused by .
A．their earlier experience of feeling lonely
B．the unfavorable living conditions in their native countries
C．the common worry about their income
D．the geographical distance between parents and children
( )58．Many young people have gone abroad, leaving their aged parents behind, to .
A．live in the countries with more money
B．seek a better place got their aged parents
C．continue their studies abroad
D．realize their dreams in foreign countries
( )59．If young people go abroad, .
A．they do not hold to the value of duty at all
B．they can give some help to their parents back home
C．they cannot do what they should for their parents
D．they believe what they actually do is right
( )60．From the last paragraph, we can infer .
A．the situations in the developed and developing countries are different
B．“Empty Nest Syndrome” has arrived unexpectedly in out society
C．children will become independent as soon as they go abroad
D．the aged parents are not fully prepared for “Empty Nest Syndrome”
