One stormy night many years ago , an elderly man and his wife entered the hall of a small hotel in Philadelphia, Trying to get out of the rain, they came the front desk hoping to get some shelter for the night
“Could you possibly give us a room here ?” the husband asked
The clerk, a friendly man with a winning smile , looked at the couple and explained that there were three conventions in town .”All of our rooms are taken”, the clerk said ,”But I can’t send a nice couple like you out into the rain at one o’ clock in the morning ,Would you perhaps be willing to sleep in my room ?It’s not exactly a suite, but it will be good enough to make you folks comfortable for the night .”
When the couple declined , the young man pressed on .”Don’t worry about me. I’ll make out just fine “ the clerk told them, So the couple agreed.
As he paid his bill the next morning, the elderly man said to the clerk, “You are the kind of
manager who should be the boss of the best hotel in the United States. Maybe someday I’ll build one for you “ The clerk looked at then and smiled, The three of them had a good laugh, As they drove away, the elderly couple agreed that the helpful clerk was indeed exceptional, as finding people who are both friendly and helpful isn’t easy
Two years passed, The clerk had almost forgotten the incident when he received a letter from the old man ,It recalled that stormy night and enclosed a round-trip ticket to New York, asking the young man to pay them a visit.
The old man met him in New Your , and led him to the corner of Fifth Avenue and 34th street, He them pointed to a great new building there, a pale reddish stone. With turrets and watchtowers thrusting up to the sky.” That ,” said the older man :”is the hotel I have just built for you to manage.” ”You must be joking “the young man said , “I can assure you I am not “said the older man .a sly smile playing around his mouth,
The older man’s name was William Waldorf Astor ,and that magnificent structure was the original Waldorf- Astoria Hotel . The young clerk who became its first manager was George C. Boldt, This young clerk never foresaw the turn of events that would lead him to become the manager of one of the world’s most glamorous hotels. 51.The purpose of the author writing this story is to

The government of Norway is planning to build an unusual storage center on an island in the Arctic Ocean, The place would be large enough to hold about two million seeds, The goal is to represent all crops known to scientists . The British magazine New Scientist published details of the plan last month, The structure will be designed to protect the world’s food supply against nuclear war , climate change and other possible threats,. It will be built in a mountain on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen, The mountain is less than one thousand kilometers from the North Pole , the northernmost position on Earth,
An international group called the Global Crop Diversity Trust is working on the project. The director of the group, Cary Fowler, spoke to New Scientist, He said the project would let the world rebuild agriculture if . in his words “the worst came to the worst “ Norway is expected to start work next year., The project is expected to cost three million dollars. Workers will drill deep in the side of a sandstone mountain, Temperatures in the area never rise above zero degrees Celsius ,. The seeds will be protected behind concrete walls a meter thick and high –security doors
The magazine report says the collection will represent the products of ten thousand years of farming,. Most of the seeds at first will come from collections at seed banks in Africa , Asia and Latin America, To last a long time , seeds need to be kept in very low temperatures, Workers will not be present all the time , But they plan to replace the air inside the storage space each winter, Winter temperatures on the island are about eighteen degrees below zero Celsius, The cold weather would protect the seeds even if the air could not be replaced
Mr. Fowler says the proposed structure will be the world’s most secure gene bank , He says the plant seeds would only be used when all other seeds are gone for some reason, Norway first proposed the idea in the 1980s ,But security concerns delayed the plan, At that time, the Soviet Union was permitted use of Spitsbergen, New Scientist says the plan won United Nations approval in October at a meeting in Rome of the Food and Agriculture Organization 55. The project is meant to_____________
A． increase the world’s food production in the future B． carry out some scientific experiments on plant genes

56. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the above passage? A． The government of Norway will perform the project alone
B． Seeds to be collected there were produced ten thousand years ago.
C． Spitsbergen is chosen because it is away from the threat of unclear war forever D． Temperature is a major consideration when choosing the storage place 57, We can infer from the text that
A ．People will get newly-developed seeds from the center every year
B． The storage center will greatly promote the development of world agriculture C． Norway meant to have built the storage centre more than 20years ago D． There haven’t been any seed storage centers in the world before. 58. What is probably the best title of the passage?
A． Noah’s Ark of Plant Seeds in Plan B． The Best Place to Store Seeds C． Concerns of World Food Supply D． A New Way to Feed the World

Researchers have just offered evidence in a study that says obesity appears to spread through social ties, much like a virus, When one person gains weight, their close friends often follow, But the finding might also offer hope.
If friends help make obesity acceptable ,then might also be influential in losing the fat, The researchers note that support groups are already an effective tool in dealing with other socially influenced problems, like alcoholism.
The findings appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine , The researchers used information collected from:? 12.000people, It was collected between 1971 and 2003 as part of the Framingham Heart Study,
The information was highly detailed . There was even contact information for close friends of the people in the study ,like
The researchers examined more than 40.000social ties, They found that a person’s chances
of becoming severely overweight increased by 57% if a friend had become obese
A sister or brother of a person who became obese had a 40% increased chance of becoming obese, The risk for a wife or husband was a little less than that.
Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School was a lead investigator in the study ,. He says there is a direct causal relationship between a person getting fat and being followed in weight gain by a friend
The study found that the sex of the friends was also an influence, In same-sex friendships a person had a 70% increased risk of becoming obese Men had a 44% increased risk of becoming obese after weight gain in brother , In sisters, it was 67%
The researchers also considered the effect of where people lived in relation to each other . James Fowler of the University of California . San Diego , was be other lead investigator,. He says a friend who lives a few hundred kilometers away has as much influence as one in the same neighborhood, He says the study demonstrates the need to consider that a major part of people’s health is tied to their social connections
Both investigators say their research shows that obesity is not just a private medical issue ,but a public health problem.
59. What does the underlined sentence in Para2.mean? A． Obesity has a negative influence on a close friend B． Friends might also play a part in losing weight
C． One might have a positive influence on one’s friend D． Friends usually don’t follow each other to lose weight. 60. Who is mostly likely to gain weight?
A． A man who has a fat brother B． A husband who has a fat wife C． A wife who has a fat husband D． A woman who a fat female friend, 61. Which of the following statements doesn’t the passage agree with? A． You are sure to lose weight if you have a skinny friend B． If one gains weight, one’s friends are likely to get fat.
C． A person’s health is closely linked with his /her social relationship D． Even if the friend lives far away ,the influence still remains
62. The reason why the study involves both family members and friends is that
A．researchers fail to find a more different sample
B． researchers have different ideas for family members and friends C． researchers can meet these people regularly D． researchers can compare the results

Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a book-lover or merely go there to buy a book as a present, You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower, Whatever the reason, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings
The desire to pick up a book with an attractive dust jacket is irresistible, although this method of selection ought not to be followed ,as you might end up with a rather dull book
You soon become in terested in some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realize you have spent far too much time there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointment-without buying a book, of course
This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is , I think , the main attraction of a bookshop, There are not many places where it is possible to do this, A music shop is very much like a bookshop , You can wander round such places to your heart’s content, If it is a good shop ,no assistant will approach you with the inevitable greeting :”Can I help you ,sir?” You needn’t buy anything you don’t want, In a bookshop an assistant should remain in the background until you have finished browsing , Then and only then ,are his services necessary , Of course, you may want to find out where a particular section is , but when he has led you there ,the assistant should retire discreetly and look as if he is not interested in selling a single book.
You have to be careful no to be attracted by the variety of books in a bookshop , It is very easy to enter the shop looking for a book on , say ancient coins and come out carrying a copy of the latest best-selling novel and perhaps a book about brass-rubbing-something which had only slightly interested you up till then , This volume o the subject, however, happened to be so well illustrated and the part of the text you read proved so interesting that you just had to buy it , This sort of thing can be very dangerous ,Apart from running up a huge account, you can waste a great deal of time wandering from section to section
63. The underlined phrase “just jacket” means___________
A． a kind of clothes B． a paper cover of book C． a dusty book D． a title of a book
64.You may spend too much time in a bookshop because___________________ A． the dust jackets are very attractive B． you start reading one of the books’ C． it is raining outside
D． you have to make sure you won’t buy a dull book as a present 65. In a good bookshop_____________
A．all the books there are interesting B． the assistant greets you in a warm way C． your heart is satisfied D． you feel that you are in a music shop 66.The best title for this passage may be
A． The Attraction of Bookshops B． How to Spend Your Time C． Bookshops and Their Assistants D． How to select Books?

Windows not only let light in to cut down an electricity use for lighting ,but the light coming through the window also provides heat, However, windows are not something people typically associate with being a cutting edge technology ,Researchers are now working on new technologies, that enable a window to quickly change from clear to dark and anywhere in between with a turn of a switch
“It took us a long time to figure out what a window really is,” says Claes Granqvist, a professor of solid-state physics at Uppsala University I Sweden ,”It’s contact with the outside world. You have to have visual contact with the surrounding world to feel well,” So ,windows and natural light are important for improving the way people feel when they’re stuck indoors
Yet ,windows are the weak link in a building when it comes to energy and temperature control. In the winter , cold air leaks in , When it ‘s hot and sunny, sunlight streams in, All of this sunlight carries lots of heat and energy, And all of this extra heat forces people to turn on their air conditioners. Producing cold air, which can feel so refreshing, actually suck up enormous
amounts of electricity in buildings around the world.
Windows have been a major focus of energy research for a long time, Over the years, scientists have come up with a variety of strategies for coating, glazing, and layering windows to make them more energy efficient ., Smart windows go a step further. They use some technologies involving changes of color.
Electrochromic windows use electricity to change color , For example . a sheet of glass coated with thin layers of tungsten oxide works bit like a battery , Tungsten oxide is clear when an electric charge is applied and dark when the charge is removed. That is ,when the amount of voltage is decreased, the window darkens until it’s completely dark after all electricity is taken away, SO applying a voltage determines whether the window looks clear or dark.
One important feature that makes a smart window so smart is that it has a sort of “memory” All it takes is a small shock of voltage to turn the window from one state to the other. Then ,it stays that way,. Transitions take from 10 seconds to a few minutes, depending on the size of the window . The development of smart windows could mean that massive air conditioning systems may no longer need “In the future,” Granqvist says “our buildings may look different
67. Which statement dose not indicate the importance of windows as described in the first two paragraphs?
A． Windows can change from clear to dark to save energy, B． Windows help to save energy by letting light in C． Windows help to save energy by providing heat,’
D． Windows enable people to have contact with the outside world. 68. According to the passage, smart windows are windows
A． that are coated B． that use electricity C． the color of which can be changed D． that have many layers
69. To make electrochromic windows change color ,what is applied to the window glass? A． Electricity B． Tungsten oxide C． A battery D． A voltage
70. What will be the benefit if the research on smart windows turns out ot be successful? A． The buildings will look different
B． Windows can be as large as you want
C． We may not need air conditioners any more
D． They are less expensive than traditional windows 第四部分：书面表达（满分40分）
