Subtly her pain became a story about themselves. 8she stopped talking to most people. It was just too 9. We connect through listening. When we interrupt what someone is saying to let them know that we understand, we move the 10of attention to ourselves. But when we listen, they know we care. I have ever learned to 11to someone crying by just listening.

Every person leaves a footprint. That’s what I learnt when I started to work as a private investigator 10 years ago．People pay restaurant bills with their bank card，check into hotels or travel around. In every case，they leave a trace．And because of this，I’m able to track them down even when they don’t want to be found． The first thing I do when I want to find out where someone is staying is to go to the neighborhood where he used to live．It’s human nature to tell stories—which is why neighbors will tell me all they know when I ring at their houses．Sometimes，someone even talks about his friend’s dishonesty．Then I produce a pattern of my subject’s life：if he likes to have a holiday in Spain or in Italy，if he prefers two- or three- star hotels and where he might hide his assets(资产)．When I’ve got this life pattern，I start my research． Nine times out of l0，I find the people I’m looking for．I once investigated a lorry supplier who owed ￡500,000 to a subcontractor(分包商)．The subcontractor wanted to find out if it was worth bringing charges against the supplier．I found out the supplier had moved assets to his son，who founded a new company offering the same product．It was all done within the law．There was no money to be got from that operation． However, I asked the son if I could speak to his father and he told me that his parent was on a long holiday in Spain and wouldn’t be back for a while．It didn’t take me long to find out that the father wasn’t in Spain． I went back to the son and this time he told me that his father might be in Bulgaria, and I found him doing winter sports in a beautiful mountain area．He was 1iving in a big house on a 1arge piece of land he had bought for￡400，000．This was exactly the kind of asset my customer was looking for． 1.We learn from the text that a private investigator is one who_______. A. follows people reports on what they do B. helps people start businesses C. gives advice to people about the law D. settles arguments between companies 2.Why does the author visit the place where his subject used to stay？ A. To find out his hidden assets． B. To gather information about him． C. To discover why he is dishonest． D. To find out where he spends his holiday． 3.The lorry supplier moved his assets to his son in order to______． A. pass on his debt to his son B. double the business of his company C. let this son take over his lorry business D. prevent paying back the money he owed 4.We may infer from the text that the subcontractor might______. A. bring charges against the lorry supplier’s son B. give up hope of settling the debt C. sell the big house in Bulgaria D. get his money back

All of us have read thrilling stories in which the hero had only a limited and specified time to live. Sometimes it was as long as a year; sometimes as short as twenty-four hours, but always we were interested in discovering just how the doomed man chose to spend his last days or his last hours. Such stories set up thinking, wondering what we should do under similar circumstances. What happiness should we find in reviewing the past, what regrets? Sometimes, I have thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow. Such an attitude would emphasize sharply the values of life. We should live each day with a gentleness, a vigor, and a keenness of appreciation which are often lost when time stretches before us in the constant repetition of more days and months and years to come. Most of us take life for granted. We know that one day we must die, but usually we picture that day as far in the future, when we are in pleasant health, death is all but unimaginable. We seldom think of it. The days stretch out in an endless prospect. So we go about our little task, hardly aware of our listless attitude towards life. The same attitude, I am afraid, falls on the use of our abilities and senses. Only the deaf appreciate hearing, only the blind realize the various blessings that lie in sight. Particularly does this observation apply to those who have lost sight and hearing in adult life. But those who have never suffered loss of sight of hearing seldom make the fullest use of these blessed abilities. Their eyes and ears take in all sights and sound hazily, without concentration, and with little appreciation. Seldom do people realize how good it is being in good health until they have fallen ill. It is the same old story of not being grateful without missing. 1.When reading the thrilling stories, we usually ______. A. have curiosity about the hero’s limited life B. show great interest in our own lives C. find many regrets in reviewing the past D. have mercy on the doomed man 2.From the passage, we can learn that ______. A. the author thinks it would be excellent to live if he should die the next day B. the disabled are anxious to regain their abilities and senses C. each of us should treasure what we have possessed today D. many of us are able to make full use of our time 3.The underlined word “hazily” in the last paragraph probably means ______. A. happily B. unclearly C. freely D. enthusiastically 4.The best title for this passage may probably be ______. A. Not Being Grateful without Missing B. Giving a Hand to the Disabled C. Making Use of Abilities and Senses D. Learning from Thrilling Stories C The Philippines expects that some 110,000 South Korean students will travel to the country in 2007, mainly to attend English language lessons, the Philippines Daily Inquirer has reported. Head of Philippine Department of Tourism Team Korea, Maricon Basco Ebron, made the assessment at the recently concluded Korea Student Fair 2007, which attracted 30,000 South Korean students, all seriously planning to study abroad. In that event alone, around 8,000 students were booked by 14 Philippine-based schools. According to Ebron, the estimated figure was based on actual figures recorded by the Philippine Bureau of Immigration in the past. The number of students would account for about 15 to 17 percent of the total visitors expected from South Korean in 2007. “Yet, that percentage is quite conservative since it does not include students with alien resident visas or those young people being brought in by South Korean retirees and businessmen,” Ebron said. While the Philippines is not a native English-speaking country, the cheaper cost of English-based education is a major plus for South Koreans. “Sending a child to the US for one year is equivalent to sending a child to the Philippines for two years---plus the mom,” Ebron said, referring to the fact South Korean parents could easily come to the Philippines to check on their children. Oh Hyun-Sook, who works with the Philippine tourism office in Seoul, estimated the cost of South Korean university education at $4,000 per semester, or roughly four times the tuition for the same period in a major university in Metro Manila. Meanwhile, many South Koreans enroll in short-term English as Second Language courses or study for the TOFL in the Philippines as preparation for further education in another country. Younger students come in for language camps, typically two-month courses during their summer or winter break. According to Oh Hyun-Sook, children as young as five years old are sent abroad, both “to study the English language and to experience a different culture”. “It’s a fact that when you have English language skills, you’re more competitive, whether you work in Seoul or abroad,” Oh Hyun-Sook added. 5.In 2007, about ________ South Korean visitors will travel to The Philippines. A. 650,000 B. 110,000 C.30,000 D. 38,000 6.The passage mainly tells us that_____________. A. the Philippines is the first choice for many South Koreans to study English abroad B. it costs South Koreans less money to study in the Philippines C. South Korean students are welcome to study English in the Philippines D. studying English in the Philippines helps South Korean students a lot 7.This passage is probably taken from _________. A. an educational document B. a newspaper C. a government report D. a travel magazine

Even plant can run a fever, especially when they’re under attack by insects or diseases. But unlike humans, plants can have their temperature taken from 3, 000 feet away - straight up. A decade ago, adopting the infrared（红外线）scanning technology developed for military purposes and other satellites, physicist Stephen Paley came up with a quick way to take the temperature of crops to determine which ones are under stress. The goal was to let farmers precisely target pesticide（杀虫剂）spraying rather than rain poison on a whole field, which invariably includes plants that don’t have pest（害虫）problems. Even better, Paley’s Remote Scanning Services Company could detect crop problems before they became visible to the eye. Mounted on a plane flown at 3, 000 feet at night, an infrared scanner measured the heat emitted by crops. The data were transformed into a color-coded map showing where plants were running “fevers”. Farmers could then spot-spray, using 50 to 70 percent less pesticide than they otherwise would. The bad news is that Paley’s company closed down in 1984, after only three years. Farmers resisted the new technology and long-term backers were hard to find. But with the renewed concern about pesticides on produce, and refinements in infrared scanning, Paley hopes to get back into operation. Agriculture experts have no doubt that technology works. “This technique can be used on 75 percent of agricultural land in the United States, ” says George Oerther of Texas A & M. Ray Jackson , who recently retired from the Department of Agriculture, thinks remote infrared crop scanning could be adopted by the end of the decade. But only if Paley finds the financial backing which he failed to obtain 10 years ago. 1.Plants will emit an increased amount of heat when they are________. A. sprayed with pesticides B. facing an infrared scanner C. in poor physical condition D. exposed to excessive sun rays 2.In order to apply pesticide spraying precisely, we can use infrared scanning to____. A. estimate the damage to the crops B. measure the size of the affected area C. draw a color -coded map D. locate the problem area 3.Farmers can save a considerable amount of pesticide by________. A. resorting to spot – spraying B. consulting infrared scanning experts C. transforming poisoned rain D. detecting crop problems at an early stage 4.The application of infrared scanning technology to agriculture met with some difficulties due to ________., A. the lack of official support B. its high cost C. the lack of financial support D. its failure to help increase production

阅读下列材料，从所给的六个选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）中，选出符合各小题要求的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。 The people below are now traveling in the U.S., and now looking for a park to visit. After the description of these people, there is information about six American parks A-F. Decide which park would be most suitable for the person mentioned in questions 61-65 and then mark the correct letter (A-F) on your answer sheet. There is one extra paragraph about one park which you don't need to use.
_______1.Lisa is a naturalist. She loves the outdoors and is fascinated with adventure and all types of wildlife. Along with enjoying wildlife she also has a passion for backpacking and hiking. Lisa is also interested in photography and will climb as high as needed to get that great shot. _______2.Martin, who is specialized in geography, would like to see a park which is filled with exciting discoveries of facts about the earth movements. He also hopes to observe the changes in rocks due to time and erosion. _______3.Kelly, just graduated from university. Her major is archeology(考古学). She is interested in ancient finds such as: fossils of animals and plant life, old pottery and especially things dating back to the prehistoric age. Kelly hopes to unearth something significant so she can develop her career. _______4.Simon is one for excitement. He enjoys all out-door sports especially white water rafting. He has been searching for a park that can fulfill his taste for adventure. And at the same time he can appreciate the beautiful sceneries along the way. _______5.Chris is looking for something famous perhaps a "superstar" of parks. He is interested in everything from wildlife to Earth activities. He hopes he can find a park which can offer the most to him.
A. This park is a vast natural museum, and it is recognized as the lowest point in the U.S. All the great divisions of geological(地质的) time, the eras and most of their subdivisions, are represented（描写） in the rocks of the mountains bordering the great valley. These rocks and the land forms tell a story of endless changes in the earth's crust（地壳） - vast depositions, contortions, tilting, alternate risings and lowering, faulting and intense heats and pressures that changed the very nature of some rocks. B. This park protects a large deposit（存放） of fossil（化石） dinosaur bones--remains of the so-called "terrible lizards" that lived millions of years ago. The dinosaurs weren't really lizards, and most of them weren't even terrible. But some of the first dinosaur fossils ever found were huge bones and teeth, very lizard-like except for their size, and so the idea of monstrous lizards was born. Today, many ideas about dinosaurs are changing, and the fossils at this park continue to help us learn more about these fascinating animals. C. With elevations ranging from 8,000 feet in the wet, grassy valleys to 14,259 feet at the weather-ravaged top of Long's Peak, a visitor to the park has opportunities for countless breathtaking experiences and adventures. A large variety of animals will delight wildlife-watchers of all ages. Wildflower-lovers are never disappointed in June and July when the meadows and hillsides are splashed with botanical color. 359 miles of trail offer endless opportunities to hikers, backpackers and horseback riders. So far to find 60 peaks rising above 12,000 feet challenge intrepid hikers and climbers. D. The world's largest concentration of natural stone arches is found in this park. Over 1500 of these 'miracles of nature' grace the 73,000-acre area. And it is famous for the red arches of Entrada sandstone that occur there in great profusion A 41-mile round-trip paved road in the park leads to the major sights, including Balanced Rock, Skyline Arch, and the Fiery Furnace. But there are also many other striking rock formations scattered over the park's 73,000 scenic acres. E. Yellowstone is the oldest park in the U.S. park system and is its flagship. Visitors come to experience the park's restless geology; to see grizzlies, gray wolves, and herds of buffalo. Its turbulent（狂暴的） landscape—which remains among the most geologically active lands on the planet, with steam-spewing geysers（间歇温泉）, gurgling fumaroles, and frequent earthquakes—was protected as the world's first national park in 1872. Yellowstone and the huge tracts of national-forest land that ring it comprise one of the world's last intact temperate ecosystems—all its major species of plants and animals are still present. F. This park has a Canyon 200 miles long and about a mile deep. Along the ride you follow the Colorado River which carved this massive canyon. At times the canyon is from 5 to 15 miles across. The Colorado River continues to shape and gouge its way through the canyon where about 90 species of mammals（哺乳动物） and some 290 species of birds live. River rafting along the Colorado River has different options for people. You can go on long trips with organizations or even take a smooth ride down the river with a picnic style lunch.

Since I have learned to say German well in Germany, I thought it might be interested to begin studying another language. At the first class, the teacher asked us to do pronunciation exercise in it he would say a word or two in French, and each student would do their best to copy. When he got to me, he kept having me to say more words, and I finally asked him why. “I find it great fun,” he explained it. “In 25 years of teaching at school, it’s the first time I heard an American speak French with a German accent.”
