23、30 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. on the evening of December 21st. Ive received replies from almost all of you confirming attendance, but if you havent let me know yet, please do so in the next day or two. Tickets for all employees have been covered by the company.The Green Vale manager has asked me to explain

24、 one or two things to those of you who have not been there before. Basically, there is sufficient parking space for only 100 vehicles, so they would like to ask those of you planning to drive, try to car-pool as much as possible. Also, the number of lockers available is small, so guests should try t

25、o keep belongings to a minimum.Thanks in advance, AnnetteTo: Annette Derringer aderringerFrom: Kyle BerwickDate: Nov 28Subject: Year-end party-Annette,This is to let you know that I will be able to attend the year-end party at the Green Vale Country Club on the 21st although I dont think I will be a

26、ble to arrive before 8:30. I was wondering if it would also be possible to bring a couple of guests. I know it is a bit of a last minute request, but my brother and his wife are planning to visit us at that time, and I know theyd love to see the Green Vale. If it is not a problem, then can you let m

27、e know how much I should pay for their tickets? Also, assuming this is OK, I was planning to drive down in a single car, to reduce the need for parking and also to allow us to keep our belongings in the car.I have a couple of days off before the party, but Ill be in my office until the 17th, so coul

31、en Vale.D. Kyle Berwick wont bring the guests to go to the party if he has to pay the tickets.BWe once had a poster competition in our fifth grade art class.“You could win prizes”, our teacher told us as she wrote the poster information on the blackboard. She passed out sheets of construction paper

32、while continuing, “The first prize is ten dollars. You just have to make sure that the words on the blackboard appear somewhere on your poster.”We studied the board critically. Some of us looked with one eye and held up certain colors against the blackboard, rocking the sheets to the right or left w

33、hile we conjured up our designs. Others twisted their hair around their fingers or chewed their erasers while deep in thought. We had plans for that ten-dollar grand prize, each and every one of us. Im going to spend mine on candies, one hopefully would announce, while another practiced looking seri

34、ous, wise and rich. Everyone in the class made a poster. Some of us used parts of those fancy paper napkins, while others used nothing but colored construction paper. Some of us used big designs, and some of us preferred to gather our art tidily down in one corner of our poster and let the space dra

35、w the viewers attention to it. Some of us would wander past the good students desks and then return to our own projects with a growing sense of hopelessness. It was yet another grown-up trick of the sort they seemed especially fond of, making all of us believe we had a fair chance, and then always r

36、ewarding the same old winners. I believed I drew a sailboat，but I couldnt say that with any certainty. I made it. I admired it. I determined it to be the very best of all of the posters I had seen, and then I turned it in. Minutes passed. No one came along to give me the grand prize, and then someon

37、e distracted me, and I probably never would have thought about that poster again. I was still sitting at my desk, thinking, “What poster?” When the teacher gave me an envelope with a ten-dollar bill in it and everyone in the class applauded for me. 50.

After seeing the good students designs, some students _.A. loved their own designs moreB. thought they had

40、a fair chanceC. put their own designs in a cornerD. thought they would not win the prize54.

41、he ability to do several things at once has become one of the great measures of self-worth for 21-century Americans. It is called multitasking, and it takes many forms. As one example, why go out to lunch when you can eat at your desk, talk to a client on the phone, scroll through your e-mail, and s

42、can a memo simultaneously (同时地)? And why simply work out on treadmill (单调的工作) when you could be watching television and talking on a portable phone at the same time? What a feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment - three activities for the time commitment of one! Ah, such efficiency. No wonder th

43、ose who turn “to do” lists into a time-management art form tend to boast (自夸): “Look, me, how many things I can accomplish at once. If Im this busy, I must be important.”Yet last week the New York Assembly struck a blow against multitasking, at least behind the wheel, when it approved a bill banning

44、 drivers in the state from using handheld cell phones. Too dangerous, the assembly said, citing (引用) research showing that drivers are four times more likely to have a collision when they are talking on a cellphone.No one can argue against using time effectively. But accompanying the supposed gains

45、are losses. Consider the woman out for an early-morning walk in a suburban neighborhood. She strides briskly, head down, cellphone clamped to her ear, chattering away, oblivious of the birds and flowers and glorious sunshine. Did the walk have any value? More than a decade ago, long before multi-tas

46、king became a word in everyday use, a retired professor of theology (神学) in Indiana with whom I corresponded made a case for what might be called uni-tasking the old-fashioned practice of doing one thing at a time. Offering the simplest example, he said, “When you wash the dishes, wash the dishes.”

47、Good advice, Ive found, whatever the task.Perhaps, too, the ban on phoning-on-the-road will even spark a move away from other forms of dual activity. Who can tell? It could mark the first step in a welcome reconsideration of what really constitutes (构成) productivity and accomplishment.55. The author

48、 thinks that multitasking has become one of the great measures of self-worth because _.A. it helps people to use time effectivelyB. it makes people feel they are importantC. it means the ability to do several things at once D. people worship speed and desire56. The bill approved by the New York Asse

49、mbly is mentioned in the second paragraph in order to _.A. demonstrate the danger of multitasking B. show the high efficiency of multitaskingC. introduce the legislation system in America D. argue against using time effectively57. Which is closest in meaning to the word “oblivious” in the third para

50、graph?A. seriousB. absorbed deeply C. not noticingD. forgetting58. We learn from the passage that uni-tasking is _.A. the new fashion for 21-century AmericansB. accepted by most residents in IndianaC. created by a retired professor of theology D. the traditional act of doing one thing at once59. In

51、the eyes of the author, multi-tasking _. A. could not be avoided in this fast-changing age B. should be taken the place of by uni-taskingC. robs people of time to focus and reflectD. should not become a word in everyday useD Can you believe everything that you read? It seems as if every day, some ne

52、w articles come out about a new discovery about this or that. For example, water is bad for you, or good for you. The answer depends on which scientific study has just come out. People cannot decide which food items are healthy, how pyramids were constructed, and why dinosaurs disappeared. When we l

53、ook for answers we sometimes can believe persuasive researches and scientists. But how trustworthy are they really? Here are two examples of scientific hoaxes (骗局). As far back as 1726, Johann Beringer was fooled by his fellow scientists into thinking he had made an amazing discovery. The fossils of

54、 spiders, lizards, and even birds with the name of God written on them in Hebrew were unlike anything that had been found before. He wrote several papers on them and was famous for those only to have it revealed that they were planted by jealous colleagues to ruin his reputation. When an early human

55、 being was discovered in 1912, scientists at this time were wild with excitement over the meaning it had for the theory of evolution. There were hundreds of papers about this Piltdown man over the next fifty years until it was finally discovered to be a complex hoax. The skull (头骨) of a man had been

56、 mixed with the jawbone of an orangutan (猩猩) to make the ape (猿) man. The next time you read the exciting new findings of a study of the best scientist, do not automatically assume that it is true. Even qualified people can get it wrong. Though we certainly should not ignore scientific research, we

57、do need to take it with a grain of salt. Just because it is accepted as the truth today does not mean it will still be trustworthy tomorrow.60. What is the reason why Johann Beringer was fooled? A. His fellow scientists wanted to make fun of him. B. His workmates are eager to become famous too. C. T

58、hese scientists made a mistake because of carelessness. D. His colleagues was jealous of him and did so to destroy his fame.61. The excited scientists thought that this Piltdown man _. A. was in fact a complex hoax B. was a great scientific invention C. contributed to the theory of evolutionD. had t

59、he skull like that of an ape62. What does the underlined phrase “with a grain of salt” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Happily.B. Generally.C. Doubtfully.D. Completely.63. What can we learn from the passage? A. Hebrew is probably a kind of language. B. Truths of science will never be out of time. C. People

60、believe scientists because they are persuasive. D. We are advised to believe famous scientists.第II卷（共28分）第一部分：单词填空（共7小题， 每小题1分，满分7分）64.
