Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration （登記） card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge. .www.gkxx.comThe Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate. From then on they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.With so many loopholes （漏洞） in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”。 But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”。46. The underlined words in this passage means to “_”。A. be ready to help others         B. make good use of ones friendsC. be a little ahead of others     D. gain something at others expense47. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. While taking a taxi in Finland, you can get off without first paying your fare.B. In a big hotel in Finland, you can enjoy free meals if youre living in the hotel.C. The bosses in Finland pay the employees according to registration of their working hours.D. The workers are always honest with their working hours.48. We can learn from the passage that _.A. the Finnish society is of very high moral （道德） levelB. there are many loopholes in everyday life in FinlandC. in Finland, most taxi drivers will not charge you anythingD. everyone in Finland is like a gentleman, for they have faith in themselves49. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Life in Finland     B. A Society with “Foolish” PeopleC. What a Life         D. Honest accounts of the Finns BFor the most part, schools are designed to produce people who fit into society, not people who set out to change it. However, schools, particularly universities, may not only spread culture; they may add to the cultural heritage （遺產(chǎn)）。 Today American society places a good deal of emphasis on the development of new knowledge, especially in the physical and biological sciences, medicine, and engineering. In recent years, the nations leading universities have increasingly become research centres.An emphasis on research has led universities to judge professors not by abilities as teachers, but as researchers. Promotions, salary increases, and other benefits have long been dependent on research and publication （出版物）。 However, the most important is no longer publishing. To be successful these days, professors have to bring in money provided by government and private industry. Critics claim that academic success is most likely to come to those who have learned to “ignore” their teaching duties to pursue research activities. Defenders say that even when students themselves are not involved in research projects they benefit from such an emphasis on research.Major research universities like the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have also cooperated with industrial companies to develop technology and products with commercial potential. With university-industry ties continuing to grow, debate has increased about the consequences for basic science, academic openness, the control of information, the direction of research, and the influence on students.50. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT emphasized by todays American society?A. Physical science.           B. Biological sciences.C. Engineering.                D. Computer science.51. In the present standard, a successful professor is one who can _.A. teach well                 B. get financial support for researchC. get the highest salary     D. have many publications52. Supporters of the present emphasis on research argue that _.A. it involves more students in itB. it does good to students anywayC. it has a direct good effect on teachingD. it earns a lot of money for a university53. The author seems to be _ the move of emphasis to research.A. totally against  B. sorry to see      C. in favor of       D. neutral （中立） about第二節(jié) 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,從短文后的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項.選項中有兩項為多余選項As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down 54 55 In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health. 56 Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prim material for managerial responsibilities. 57 When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choices between “flight or fight” and in more primitive days the choices made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress is, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. 58 A. Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it.B. Since we cant remove stress from our lives, we need to find ways to deal with it.C. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.D. We can find quite a few ways to avoid stress.E. Others lose heart at the first sight of unusual difficulties.F. The amount of stree a person can bear depends very much on the individual.G. People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because they believe that work is superior to relaxation.IV短文改錯It was fine yesterday. The sun was shining in the sky. I went boating by myself. I didnt take many friends with me because I wanted to alone.  I hired a boat and rowed slowly to the center of lake. A fresh breeze was blowing, fish was swimming and birds were singing. When I reached a center, I took up the paddles（槳）and lie down in the boat. With the blue sky over me or green water around me I was extremely relaxed. About over two hours passed in this way before I knew them. I came back home very late. I didnt feel tiring at all, for I had really had a good time.  .V書面表達Century School Edition Teens 對幾個城市的中學生視力進行了調(diào)查,發(fā)現(xiàn)中學生近視眼現(xiàn)象嚴重,就此現(xiàn)象寫一篇100120左右的英語短文,向該報投稿,說明保護視力的重要性及其主要措施.題目自擬. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Unit four Making the news 答案I. 單項選擇 15 ACDBC 610 ACBDA 1115 ACDAC 1620 DBDAC 2125 DCDCB 完形填空參考答案 26-30.ABBDC 31-35.CDADB 36-40.AAC D B 41-45.D B A C B閱讀理解: 46-49.D C A B 50-53.D B B D 54-58CAFEB短文改錯manyany; toto be;  oflakethe; 第二個waswere; a-the；lielay; orand 去掉over; themit; tiringtiredV 書面表達 參考范文:Learn to protect our eyesEveryone understands the importance of protecting our eyes, with which we can admire the beautiful world.
