For over one hundred and fifty years, Americans of all social classes have worn blue jeans． 71 Whether they are worn for work or for fashion today．Strauss' invention continues to be popular not only among Americans but also among people around the world． Levi Strauss was born in Germany in 1829． 72 He grew up in Kentucky before moving to New York in 1847．Before becoming an American citizen and moving to the West in 1853, Strauss worked in his brother's dry goods business．This gave him a chance to produce his famous invention．After the gold rush of 1949, Strauss decided to move to the West to seek his fortunes． Strauss did not want to be a person who searched an area for minerals．Instead, he knew he could make a good living by selling supplies to the miners．At first, he planned to sell sewing supplies and cloth． 73 When he heard miners complaining that their clothes were easily broken or they usually tore their pockets during mining, he decided to use a special fabric to make pants for the miners．These pants proved so popular that he quickly ran out of materials to make more． In 1873, Strauss received a letter from a Jewish tailor named Jacob Davis who had invented a process of connecting pockets with copper rivets（铆钉）．This made the pants last a long time．Because Davis did not have the money to patent his idea, he offered to share it with Strauss if Strauss would agree to pay for the patent． 74 ． By the time Strauss died in 1902, he had made a great contribution to American fashion． 75 The business has been growing ever since and Levi Strauss' company is now one of the largest clothing companies in the world．
E．He also made a great contribution to America's clothing industry． F．Since they were invented by Levi Strauss, they have become a symbol of American consumer culture． G．As the business grew, Strauss got much money from it．
After Christmas, I took a job in the clothes department at Graham’s for the first fortnight of the January sale. I can’t say that I enjoyed it, but it was an experience I’ll never forget. I could never understand why there were so many things in the sales. Now I know the secret! Firstly, there is the special winter stock and the stock that people buy all the year round. Some of these things are slightly reduced. Secondly, there are the summer clothes they couldn’t sell last year; these are heavily reduced to clear them. Thirdly, there are cheap clothes bought in especially for the sales; these are put out at high prices ten days before the sale begins and then are reduced by 60% in the sale. Lastly, they buy in “seconds” for the sale and they are sold very cheaply. When I arrived half an hour before opening on the first day of the sale, there was already a queue around three sides of the building. When the big moment arrived to open the doors, the security guards, looking less confident than usual, came up to them, keys in hand. The moment they had unlocked the doors, they hid behind the doors for protection as the noisy crowd charged in. I couldn’t believe my eyes; this wasn’t shopping. It was a battlefield! One poor lady couldn’t keep her feet and was knocked over by people pushing from behind. Clothes were flying in all directions as people searched for the sizes, colors and styles they wanted. Quarrels broke out. Mothers were using their small children to crawl through people’s legs and get hold of things they couldn’t get near themselves. Within minutes I had half a dozen people pushing clothes under my nose, each wanting to be the first served. Where had the famous English queue gone? The whole day continued like that, but I kept my temper! I was taking money hand over fist and began to realize why, twice a year, Graham’s were happy to turn their expensive store into a battlefield like this. In the sale fever, people were spending money like water without thinking if they needed what they were buying. As long as it was a bargain, it was OK. You won’t believe this, but as soon as I got home, I crashed out for four hours. Then I had dinner and went back to bed, fearing the sound of the alarm which would tell me to get ready for the second day of the sale. 69. What kind of clothes is likely to be sold only a little cheaper according to the passage? A. Last summer’s clothes. B. Clothes not in perfect condition. C. Clothes bought in specially for the sales. D. Clothes for winter. 70. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. The customers gave up the queuing as soon as the sale began. B. The customers kept their temper while looking for clothes they wanted. C. Small children were not helpful to their mothers in the sale. D. The security guards of the clothes department were as confident as usual.

The phone is ringing at the other end of the line and it clicks as it is being answered．A voice says quickly, “Hello, will you hold, please?” Then there is another click, followed by silence．It seems like hours before someone comes back on the line ---- that is, if you don't hang up first． Office calls are, perhaps, the most difficult and the most important part of a secretary's work．The first impression that a man receives about a business is often through a telephone contact．A caller who is left hanging on “hold” will get the feeling that he or she has been forgotten or ignored．If a call is answered rudely, the caller may become angry．And if the call is not routed directly to the right person, the caller may feel that he or she is getting the “run-around”. Laura Needham is a secretary in the executive offices of a large manufacturing company．As a good office secretary, Laura knows that all phone calls must be answered without delay and handled efficiently. She knows that a secretary must be pleasant and helpful, no matter how busy she is or what kind of feeding she may be in．She knows she must keep calm if a caller gets impatient or becomes angry; also, of course, she knows she can never allow herself to lose her temper (脾气)．If she does not have the information the caller asks for, she must know who does have the information．Finally, she knows that one of her most important responsibilities(责任)is to “screen telephone calls” and to know which calls to refer to her boss, which calls to refer to other people, and which calls to handle herself． A well-handled telephone call will give the caller a good impression of the company he or she is dealing with．For this reason, an office secretary who can handle telephone calls cheerfully, tactfully (老练的), and efficiently is a valuable asset to any organization 63. Good secretaries find it to handle office calls well. A. very. boring B. very important C. quite necessary D. extremely difficult 64. The underlined word "nmaround" here means .

A. she often asks her boss how to answer a telephone call B. she knows how to please all the people C. she has the information that others need D. she can keep calm and never loses her temper 66. This passage is mainly about .

Everybody is happy as his pay rises. Yet pleasure at your own can disappear if you learn that a fellow worker has been given a bigger one. Indeed, if he is known as being lazy, you might even be quite cross. Such behavior is regarded as “all too human”, with the underlying belief that other animals would not be able to have this finely developed sense of sadness. But a study by Sarah Brosnan of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, which has just been published in Nature, suggests that it is all too monkey, as well. The researchers studied the behaviors of some kind of female brown monkeys. They look smart. They are good-natured, co-operative creatures, and they share their food happily. Above all, like female human beings, they tend to pay much closer attention to the value of “goods and services” than males. Such characteristics make them perfect subjects for Doctor Brosnan’s study. The researchers spent two years teaching their monkeys to exchange tokens (奖券) for food. Normally, the monkeys were happy enough to exchange pieces of rock for pieces of cucumber. However, when two monkeys were placed in separate and connected rooms, so that each other could observe what the other is getting in return for its rock, they became quite different. In the world of monkeys，grapes are excellent goods (and much preferable to cucumbers). So when one monkey was handed a grape in exchange for her token, the second was not willing to hand hers over for a mere piece of cucumber. And if one received a grape without having to provide her token in exchange at all, the other either shook her own token at the researcher, or refused to accept the cucumber. Indeed, the mere presence of a grape in the other room (without an actual monkey to eat it) was enough to bring about dissatisfaction in a female monkey. The researches suggest that these monkeys, like humans, are guided by social senses. In the wild, they are co-operative and group-living. Such co-operation is likely to be firm only when each animal feels it is not being cheated. Feelings of anger when unfairly treated, it seems, are not the nature of human beings alone. Refusing a smaller reward completely makes these feelings clear to other animals of the group. However, whether such a sense of fairness developed independently in monkeys and humans, or whether it comes from the common roots that they had 35 million years ago, is, as yet, an unanswered question. 68. According to the passage, which of the following statements is true? A. Only monkeys and humans can have the sense of fairness in the world. B. Women will show more dissatisfaction than men when unfairly treated. C. In the wild, monkeys are never unhappy to share their food with each other. D. Monkeys can exchange cucumbers for grapes, for grapes are more attractive. 69. The underlined statement “it is all too monkey” means that ________. A. monkeys are also angry with lazy fellows B. feeling bitter at unfairness is also monkey’s nature C. monkeys, like humans, tend to be envious of each other D. no animals other than monkeys can develop such feelings 70. Which of the following conclusions is TRUE according to the passage? A. Human beings' feelings of anger are developed from the monkeys. B. In the research, male monkeys are less likely to exchange food with others. C. Co-operation between monkeys stays firm before the realization of being cheated. D. Only monkeys and humans have the sense of fairness that dates from 35 million years ago. 71. What can we infer about the monkeys in Sarah’s study? A. The monkeys can be trained to develop social senses. B. They usually show their feelings openly as humans do. C. The monkeys may show their satisfaction with equal treatment. D. Co-operation among the monkeys remains effective in the wild.
Patricia Blues, 29, has a new aim in life: to keep drivers' hands on their steering wheels and off their cell phones. On November 2, 2007, Blues lived through a horrible experience. A motorist dialing a cell phone drove through a stop sign at 45 miles per hour and run into the side of Blues' car. Blues' 2-year-old daughter was killed immediately in the crash. Blues has since dedicated her time to pushing for laws that would prevent this type of tragedy from happening again. Cell phones are not the only distractions (分神) that cause accidents. Eating, changing CD, reading maps, talking to passengers, and just reaching for an object on the floor can be dangerous. Therefore, the emphasis should be on educating drivers to avoid all distractions. However, talking on cell phones might be easier to regulate than eating or changing music. At least 34 states have already passed laws to restrict cell phone use in moving cars. No state has banned it yet, but several U. S. cities have. Worldwide, 13 nations, including Australia, England, Germany, Japan and China have banned drivers' use of cell phones in moving cars. To date, no scientific evidence has been published showing that talking on the phone affects driving safety. But according to a test by some high school students, "driving while on the phone does affect safety and probably shouldn't be done". 64. What happened to Patricia Blues last November? ________. A. She was seriously injured in a car crash B. She lost her daughter in a road accident C. She broke the traffic rules at a bus stop D. Her vehicle was destroyed by a motorbike 65. The tragedy was caused by ________. A. Blues' lack of driving experience B. the motorist’s failure of seeing the stop sign C. Blues' poor car conditions D. the motorist's absence of mind while driving 66. Patricia Blues' new goal of life is to persuade the government ________. A. to prohibit the carrying of cell phones in cars B. to educate drivers to avoid all distractions C. to ban talking on the phone while driving D. to study, harmful results of using cell phones 67. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? ________. A. Using cell phone while driving is easier to be controlled by law than other distractions B. It is more important to make laws than educate drivers to be aware of driving safety C. Driving while on the phone is firmly against only by some students from high school D. It is extremely urgent for the cities with a large population to restrict using cell phones
“I’m seventy years old,” says the gray-haired lady proudly to the entertainer at her Community Club dinner. “Did you hear that, everyone?” says the entertainer. “This lovely lady is just seventy years young! And she doesn’t look a day over fifty.” He has been careful not to use the word “old”. In a society where youth is so admired, old age is often seen as something sad, something to fight against. Americans prefer not to say “old” people. They use the expression “senior citizens”. They do not talk about “old people’s” homes, but “retirement” homes. In fact, the entertainer is not so wrong. Seventy is not very old these days. People in the US are living longer and longer. In1980, 12 percent of Americans were over sixty-five years old. By 2030, 21 percent will be over sixty-five. One reason for this is that families are getting smaller. The average couple now has only 1.8 children. At the same time, improved medical care means that people are living longer. This change in the age of Americans is going to have serious results. For one thing, medical costs are rising. The government is unable to pay the elderly people’s medical bills that have gone up very much. Some old people have to leave hospital “sicker and quicker” than they should, before they are really better. More fortunate senior citizens, though, who still have good health, want new laws to be passed to allow them to stay at work. In the past, the retirement age was sixty-five, but that is changing now. Older people are stronger and more energetic than ever before. Many of them refuse to stop working just because they have reached a certain age. There is a change, too, in the way in which elderly people see themselves. Many are no longer happy to accept the gray hair, bald heads, and boring clothes of their own parents. They like to wear younger-looking clothes and bright makeup（化妆品）.American women spend millions of dollars a year on operations to lift their faces and make those ugly wrinkles disappear. Men are prepared to spend even more on operations to plant new hair on their bald spots. It’s worth any money to look younger. 60. In America people try to avoid using the word “old” because ____. A. the old age is seen as something that isn’t admired B. it is now believed to bring bad luck to elderly people C. the standard of getting old has changed D. the change in the age has caused a healthy problem 61. According to the passage, which of the following does NOT describe the American society correctly? A. People live longer because of improved medical care. B. The government finds it difficult to afford the medical bills of the elderly. C. People use polite expressions when talking about old age. D. The old patients’ time in hospital is strictly limited. 62. Which of the following is not the result of the changing in the age of Americans? A. Medical costs are rising. B. The family becomes smaller. C. The retirement age needs changing. D. Elderly people spend a lot on keeping young. 63. This passage is most probably taken from . A. a travel booklet B. a magazine C. an advertisement D. a medical report
FOR many young people, having to attend school with a parent would be their worst nightmare. However, Senior 1 student Li Qinmei is happy taking her father with her as long as she can go to classes. He is disabled and unable to take care of himself. The 16-year-old country girl in Zhucheng, Shandong Province has experienced one disaster after another in her short life. Li lost her mother at three. Four years later, her father became paralyzed after a tractor accident. At 12, her misfortune returned with the death of her grandma. Since then she has been forced to shoulder all the responsibility for her broken family. Li learnt to cook and managed to live a life with an allowance of only 24 yuan per month. The most difficult thing she had to deal with was helping her father bathe, dress and use the toilet as he could hardly move. "I felt embarrassed, and so did my dad. It was really hard at the beginning," she recalled. During most of her junior school years, Li went to classes only once a month as her father was seriously ill at the time. "I taught myself at home and asked teachers for help on my school days," she explained. Li's hard work paid off this fall. She was admitted by Zhucheng No 1 High School, a local key school, based on her good performance in the entrance exams. The school offered Li and her father a room on campus to live in so she could look after him during breaks. Once in a while, Li felt sad when she saw her classmates going shopping or hanging out with friends. "I envy them sometimes because they have both mum and dad to look after them. However, I soon feel relieved as I still have my dear dad with me," she said. Li admitted that the difficulties in life had taught her to be strong. "I believe I will go on and continue my studies at a good university," she said, in a confident tone. Her teacher Mr. Wang has the same belief. Li made great progress in the recent monthly exams. "She works hard and is always eager to excel (好强的). It's not easy for her never to be late for school, but she has managed to make it work," Wang said. 56. Li Qinmei has to shoulder the family because ________. A. her father was badly injured in a car accident B. her grandma died when she was 12 C. her mother passed away when she was 3 D. misfortune in her life forced her to do so 57. From the passage we can infer that _________. A. Li Qinmei doesn’t like others talking about her father B. many young students hate going to school with their parents C. Li Qinmei has made great progress in her study D. Li Qinmei has lost three relatives and has to take care of her father 58. What’s the meaning of the underlined phrase “hanging out” in the passage?_________. A. playing outside B. working hard C. exchanging ideas D. talking happily 59. According to the passage, which statement is Not True? __________. A. Li Qinmei was admitted to a local key school because of his good scores in the exams B. Li Qinmei is very embarrassed when she helps her father bathe C. Li Qinmei often goes to attend her father after class D. Li Qinmei is able to go to class on time though she has to attend her father
完形填空 (共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分) Travel in most of Europe is easy. An agreement between the 15 European Union countries in 1995 means that citizens from most European countries can travel across borders without needing a visa. Each of the 12 countries that has 36 its own currency (货币) to accept the euro has its own 37 . So how have these countries been able to 38 ? And how has each country prepared for the birth of this new currency? Firstly, many people in Europe, 39 in west Europe, speak English.
