Alexis was hot and tired. With rage(愤怒) in her voice she shouted," Pull me up. I give up. I hate this. This is stupid!'' It was at that moment when Jason, the adviser on the trip ,looked at me and said," Ed, I'm going to go down and talk with her. "I then shouted down to Alexis," Hold on! You can do this. We know you can !"
Jason grasped another rope, put this climbing harness(系带)on and began to move down the cliff. Within moments Jason was beside Alexis. She had her cheek directly against the face of the rock with her feet barely resting on a small piece of the cliff that jetted outward.
Jason said to Alexis," I know that you have been on this cliff now for what seems like a long time. Your feet and fingers are cramping(痉挛)up and your forearms feel as though they are on fire. But, Alexis, you are strong. Look how far up you are already. You have taken one of the more difficult parts up the cliff. Alexis, look at the path you have taken."
At that moment, Alexis moved her cheek away from the rock face and looked down. The bright white chalk she used on her hands to give her a better hold, showed the path where her tired hands had moved her upward on the cliff. Jason was right. Alexis had taken the hardest way up the cliff. Jason then looked straight into Alexis' eyes and in a calm voice he said, "You are. not alone out here. There are people who care about you, who want to help you and see you succeed. We are going to this together. Are you ready?" Slowly she nodded and took a deep breath.
36. Jason went down the cliff because ___________.
A. Alexis took a wrong path B. Alexis was trapped in rocks

C. Alexis was immediately sent to hospital 'after she was pulled up
D. Alexis successfully rock-climbed
38. The underlined word "hot" in the story means ___________.

Reading is thought to be a kind of conversation between the reader and the text. The reader puts questions, as it were, to the text and gets answers. In the light of these he puts further questions, and so on.
For most of the time this "conversation" goes on below the level of consciousness (意识). At times, however, we know it. This is usually when we are running into difficulties, when mismatch is happening between expectations and meaning. When successful matching is being experienced out questioning of the text continues at the unconscious level.
Different people deal with the text differently. Some stay very close to the words on the page; others take off imaginatively from the words, translating, criticizing, analyzing (分析), and examining. The former represents a kind of comprehension which is written in the text. The latter represents higher levels of comprehension. The balance between these is important, especially for advanced readers.
There is another conversation which from our point of view is equally important, and that has not to do with what is read but with how it is read. We call this a "process" conversation just opposite a "content" conversation. It is concerned not with meaning but with the ways we use in reading. If we are an advanced reader our ability to hold a content conversation with a text is usually pretty well developed. It is not our ability that holds a process conversation. It is just this kind of conversation that is of importance when we are seeking to develop our reading to meet the new demands being placed upon us by studying at a higher level.
40．Reading as a kind of conversation between the reader and the text becomes conscious only
when _______.
A．the reader has trouble understanding what the writer says
B．the reader's expectation agree with what is said in the text
C．the reader asks questions and gets answers
D．the reader understands a text very well
41．At a lower level of comprehension, readers always mean to __
A．read a text slowly B．read without thinking hard
C．translate a text in their own way D．pay attention to the meaning of words only
42．According to the writer, __________ is of great importance for readers.
A．lower and higher levels of comprehension
B．the readers' expectations and the meaning of a text
C．conscious and unconscious levels of comprehension
D．translating and criticizing a text
43．If we want to develop our reading ability at an advanced level, we should ________.
A．pay more attention to the content of a text
B．make our reading process more conscious
C．learn to use different ways in reading different texts
D．take a critical attitude towards the writer's ideas
C
Perhaps the most famous theory, the study of body movement, was suggested by Professor Ray Birdwhistell. He believes that physical experience is often culturally programmed. In other words, we learn outlooks---we are not born with them. A baby has generally informed face features. A baby, according to Birdwhistell, learns where to set the eyebrows by looking at those around--- family and friends. This helps explain why the people of some areas of the US look so much alike. New Englanders or Southerners have certain common face features that cannot be explained by genetics (遗传学). The exact shape of the mouth is not set at birth, it is learned after. In fact, the final mouth shape is not formed until well after new teeth are set. For many, this can be well into grown-ups. A husband and wife together for a long time often come to look somewhat alike. We learn our looks from those around us. This is perhaps why in a single country there are areas where people smile most frequently. In New England they smile less, and in the western part of New York State still less. Many Southerners find cities such as New York cold and unfriendly, partly because people on Madison Avenue smile less than people on Peachtree Street in Atlanta, Georgia. People in largely populated areas also smile and greet each other in public less than people in small towns do.
44. Ray Birdwhistell believes that physical appearance ______.
A. has little to do with culture B. has much to do with culture
C. is ever changing D. is different from place to place
45. According to the passage, the final mouth shape is formed _______.
A. before birth B. as soon as one’s teeth are newly set
C. sometime after new teeth are set D. around 15 years old
46. Ray Birdwhistell can tell what area of the United States a person is from by ______.
A. how much he or she laughs B. how he or she raises his or her eyebrows
C. what he or she likes best D. the way he or she talks
47. This passage might have been taken out of a book dealing with _______.
A. physics B. chemistry C. biology D. none of the above

"The days when the management in Western companies presented gold watches to long-serving employees to thank them for loyal(忠诚的)service is now just a memory", says the Educational and Training Support Agency.
This new development in the shape and movement of the workforce throughout Western businesses is partly a result of the way that layers of middle management are being removed, leaving more workers responsible for their own development.
"Having workers take responsibility for their own development might be dramatic, but it is now the rule," says the Educational and Training Support Agency.
"Today, not only are workers more mobile, they have to run to keep up with changes," says the Government-founded agency. "It is no longer enough for a worker to gain a set of skills. Workers need the ability to react and get used to changes" This new system is also being pushed along by the way that industry is looking to its workers to renew their own skills. In the United States, some companies have contracts(合同) which repair their employees to show regularly how they have their skills up to date.
Contrary to this traditions of the past, employees in the West are now looking for autonomous learners as recruits, people who can develop their own continuing education beyond the school and university system. At the same time, businesses are developing the capacity for workers to take up autonomous learning on site in workplace, so that the skills and abilities of all workers in a business continue to improve and increase. "This, of course," says business theory, "will also improve the productivity(生产率) of the workers and therefore the profits of the company."
48．The management in western companies no longer presents gold watches to their employees
because ___________.
A．they are not loyal to companies
B．there is some to replace gold watches
C．the way prove to be a failure
D．setting down with a company for life is very rare for most employees now
49．The western workforce frequently changes their jobs partly because _________.
A．hoping from job to job has become a new trend
B．employees are expecting to have more experiences in their life
C．workers have to take more responsibility for themselves
D．it is easy to complete themselves by doing so
50．The passage seems to suggest that the present situation in society requires that workers should
________.
A．show more loyalty to their companies
B．try to develop the skill to deal with the unfamiliar and the unknown
C．gain as many as sets of skills as possible
D．be quick in changing their careers if there is the possibility
51．The phrase"autonom0us learner" in the last paragraph means __
A．people who have received higher education
B．people who study hard themselves
C．people who learn things very quickly
D．people who continue their study beyond regular education

NASDAQ, standing for the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation System, is one of the largest markets in the world for the trading of stocks(股票).The number of companies listed on NASDAQ is more than that on any of the other stock exchanges in the United States, including the New York Stock Exchange(NYSE), and the American Stock Exchange (AMEX).The majority of companies listed on NASDAQ are smaller than most of those on the NYSE and AMEX.NASDAQ has become known as the home of new technology companies, particularly computer and computer-related business. Trading on NASDAQ was started by stock brokers acting on behalf(代表) of their customers.

As the world’s first electronic stock market, NASDAQ long ago started technological trading innovation that is unequalled. Now becoming the world’s first truly global market, the NASDAQ Stock Market is the market of choice for business industry leaders worldwide.
