  (A)

  Millions of people pass through the gates of Disney's entertainment parks in

  California, Florida and Japan each year. What makes these places an almost universal attraction? What makes foreign kings and queens and other important people want to visit these Disney parks? Well, one reason is the way they're treated once they get there. The people at Disney go out of their way to serve their "guests", as they prefer to call them, and to see that they enjoy themselves.

  All new employees, from vice president(副总管)to part-time workers, begin their employment by attending Disney University and taking"Traditions I". Here, they learn about the company's history, how it is managed and why it is successful. They are shown how each department relates to the whole. All employees are shown how their part is important in making the park a success. After passing "Traditions I", the employees go on with more specialized training for their special jobs. No detail is missed. A simple job like taking tickets requires four eight-hour days training. When one ticket taker was asked why it took so much training for such a simple ordinary job, he replied,"What happens if someone wants to know where the restrooms are, when the parade starts or what bus to take back to the campgrounds?. . . We need to know the answers or where to get them quickly. Our constant aim is to help our guests enjoy the park. "

  Even Disney's managers get involved in the daily management of the park. Every year, the managers leave their desks and business suits and put on special service clothes. For a full week, the bosses sell hot dogs or ice cream, take tickets or drive the monorail(单轨车)and take up any of the 100 jobs that make the entertainment park come alive. The managers agree that this week helps them to see the company's goals more clearly.

  All these efforts to serve the public well have made Walt Disney Productions famous. Disney is considered by many as the best mass service provider in America or in the world.

  1. The first day they come to Disney parks, all new employees________.

  A. begin by receiving on-the-job training

  B. must learn several jobs

  D. have already attended Disney University

  LONDON-Oxford University has defended its 800-year-old name on the Internet successfully, claiming(声称) control of a site run by a private individual(私人).

  It is the second time in the past two years that Oxford University has won an Internet address dispute(争端) against the same person-the so-called"Mr Oxford", who registered with the World Intellectual Property Organization(WIPO) www. university-of-oxford.com.

  While it is impossible to live completely free of stress, it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it can't be avoided. The US Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to deal with stress.

  Try physical activity

  When you are nervous, angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity. Running, walking, playing tennis, or working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try. Physical exercise will relieve your anxiety and worry and help you to relax. Your body and your mind will work together to ease the stress in your life.

  Share your stress

  It helps to talk to someone about your anxieties and worries. Perhaps a friend, family member, teacher or even your leader can help you a better view of what's troubling you. If you feel your problem is serious, you might seek professional help from a psychologist or a doctor. Knowing when to ask for help is an important step in avoiding serious problems later.

  Take care of yourself

   You should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest. If you easily get angry and cannot sleep well enough, or if you're not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations. If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should consult a doctor. Make time for yourself.

  Make a list of the things you need to do

   Stress can result from disorganization and a feeling that"there's so much to do, and not enough time". Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result, you may not achieve anything. Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, then do one thing at a time, checking off each task as it is completed. Set out to do the most important tasks first.

  Go ahead and cry

   A good cry can be a healthy way to bring relief to your anxiety. It might even help you avoid a headache or other physical effect of anxiety and stress.

  7. What is most probably the writer's purpose in writing the article?

  A. To release his or her working tiredness.

  B. To help solve the universal problem of stress.

  C. To strengthen his or her anxiety.

  D. To have more people cry out.

  8. Physical activity can help people release stress because________.

  A. only your body movement can help you relax

  B. your mind can work better to free you of anxiety

  C. your body and mind can cooperate in releasing stress

  D. physical activity doesn't play an important part in reducing nervousness

  9. What is similarity between "Share your stress" and "Go ahead and cry"?

  A. They both help you let out your feelings.

  B. They both need physical movement.

  C. They both require mental relaxation.

  D. They can cause a headache.

  10. The underlined sentence is close to the meaning of "________".

  A. Strike while the iron is hot

  B. More haste, less speed

  C. Practice makes perfect

  D. Quietness wins time

  (D)

  The motor vehicle has killed and disabled more people in its brief history than any bomb or weapon ever invented. Much of the blood on the street flows essentially from uncivil behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal and moral rights of others. So the killing on the road may be regarded as a social problem.

  In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people-just ordinary people acting carelessly, you might say. But it is a general truth both of law and common morality that carelessness is no excuse when one's actions could bring death or damage to others. A minority of the killers go even beyond carelessness to total negligence (疏忽).

  Researchers have estimated(估计) that as many as 80 percent of all automobile accidents can be attributed(归结于) to the psychological condition of the driver. Emotional upsets can distort(歪曲) drivers' reactions, slow their judgment, and blind them to dangers that might otherwise clear. The experts warn that it is necessary for every driver to make a conscious effort to keep one's emotions under control. Yet the irresponsibility that accounts for much of the problem is not confined to drivers. Street walkers regularly violate(违反)traffic regulations, they are at fault in most vehicle walker accidents, and many cyclists even believe that they are not subject to the basic rules of the road.

  Significant legal advances have been made towards safer driving in the past few years. Safety standards for vehicle have been raised both at the point of manufacture and through periodic road-worthiness inspections. In addition, speed limits have been lowered. Due to these measures, the accident rate has decreased. But the accident experts still worry because there has been little or no improvement in the way drivers behave. The only real and lasting solution, say the experts, is to convince people that driving is a skilled task requiring constant care and concentration. Those who fail to do all these things present a threat to those with whom they share the road.

  11. What is the author's main purpose in writing the passage?

  A. To show that the motor vehicle is a very dangerous invention.

  B. To improve understanding between careless drivers and street walkers.

  C. To discuss traffic problems and propose possible solutions.

  D. To warn drivers of the importance of safe driving.

  12. According to the passage, traffic accidents may be regarded as________.

  A. the destruction (毁灭) to mankind

  B. a general truth

  C. the legal right

  D. a social problem

  13. Why does the author mention the psychological condition of the driver in Paragraph Three?

  A. To give an example of the various reasons for road accidents

  B. To show how important it is for drivers to be emotionally healthy.

  C. To show some of the inaccurate (不准确的)estimations by researchers.

  D. To illustrate the hidden tensions in the course of driving.

  14. Who are not mentioned as being responsible for the road accidents?

  A. Careless bicycle-riders.

  B. Mindless people walking in the street.

  C. Irresponsible drivers.

  D. Irresponsible manufactures of automobiles.

  15. Which of the following best reflects the author's attitude toward a future without traffic accident problems?

  A. Doubtful yet still longing for.

  B. Happy and rather confident.

  C. Surprised and very pleased.

  D. Disappointed and deeply worried.

  词数:150左右。

  I.听力录音原文及参考答案:

  Part One

  1. W: When will my watch be fixed?

  M: Well, it's noon by my watch now. I think I can have it done in two hours.

  2. W: Do you have a driver's license?

  M: I passed the driving test, but couldn't see well enough to pass the eye test.

  3. W: Sorry, I'm late again. I was caught in a traffic jam.

  M: If you'd left home earlier, it would have been another story.

  4. M: Tom is certainly easygoing.

  W: Yes, the exact opposite of his brother.

  5. M: Operator, I'm making a local call, please connect me with 8301667.

  W: I'm sorry but that number is no longer in service.

  M: But I just made the call ten minutes ago.

  Part Two

  M: What's the matter, Alice?

  W: Sorry, Mr Harrison. I missed my train.

  M: Why did you miss the train?

  W: Because I left home a little late.

  M: Did you get up late or something?

  W: No. My aunt called me at the last minute.

  M: Tell her not to call you in the morning.

  W: I will, Mr Harrison. I'm really sorry for being late.

  M: If you are late again, I can't let you pass this class.

  W: Oh, please.

  Part Three

  W: What was the meeting like?

  M: Very interesting. It was called "Saving the Earth" and it was all about the damage that is being caused to the world.

  W: What did you do at the meeting?

  M: Well, we listened to lectures about pollution, agriculture, nuclear waste and so on.

  W: It is a good idea to hold such meetings.

  M: Yes. If we go on polluting the world, it won't be fit for us to live in.

  W: I agree with you. We've got to do something about the pollution. It's getting worse.

  M: Yes, it certainly is. If people don't stop polluting the seas and rivers, there will be no fish left.

  W: That's quite true. We've got to think of ways of changing people's habits. Well, what else did you hear about at the meeting?

  M: There was a good talk about the increase in the world's population. If the population keeps growing so quickly, there will only be standing room left for us next century.

  Part Four

  W: Oh, hi Dave. Long time no see!

  M: Hi Maria. I was in the neighborhood, so I thought I'd drop by.

  W: Come on in. Take a seat. Would you like anything to drink? Sprite or orange juice?

  M: Sprite would be fine. Uh, so, how have you been?

  W: Oh, not bad. And you?

  M: Oh, I'm doing okay, but school has been really busy these days, and I haven't had time to relax.

  W: By the way, what's your major anyway?

  M: Hotel management.

  W: Well, what do you want to do once you graduate?

  M: Uh. . . I haven't decided for sure, but I think I'd like to work for a hotel or travel agency in this area. How about you?

  W: Well, when I first started college, I wanted to major in French, but I realized I might have a hard time finding a job using the language, so I changed majors to computer science. With the right skills, landing a job in the computer industry shouldn't be as difficult.

  M: So, do you have a part-time job to support yourself through school?

  W: Well, fortunately for me, I received a four-year cademic scholarship that pays for all of my tuition and books.

  M: Wow. That's great.

  W: Yeah. How about you? Are you working your way through school?

  M: Yeah. I work three times a week at a restaurant near campus.

  W: Oh. What do you do there?

  M: I'm a cook.

  Hi, everyone. I thought I would introduce myself as part of this site.

  As you know, my name's Randall Davis, and I'm originally from Indianapolis, Indiana, in the United States. When I was 19 years old, I moved to Venezuela in South America, and later returned to the United States in 1985. Then, I moved to Provo, Utah, where I attended Brigham Young University from 1985 to 1991, and I majored in Spanish education and TESOL, or teaching English as a second language.

  After graduating from college, I moved to Tokyo, Japan, in the spring of 1991. Then, in 1996, I moved to Nagoya, Japan, where I currently live and teach.

  In my spare time, I enjoy reading, bike riding, playing basketball, and hearing from students from around the world.

  VI. One possible version:

  I'm a student of No. 2 Middle School of Suizhong County, Liaoning Province, where Yang Liwei, the space hero, once studied. When I knew the success of China's first manned space flight by TV, I felt greatly excited.

  The success of Shenzhou-5 is the glory of all Chinese around the world. It means that China's long-held space flight dream has come true and China has become the third country which has sent a human being into outer space, following Russia and America. The success marks the victory of China's advanced science and technology. Yang Liwei was fond of all kinds of sports activities when he was in the middle school. Besides, his grades in science courses were excellent. He was one of the top students in the school.

  The Chinese will be thankful to Yan Liwei and the scientists who have made great contributions to China's space flight industry forever.
