Each passage is followed by 5 questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are 4 choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best one and mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET.Passage OneWhen the terrorist attack on September 11th caused people to flee the building, Avremel Zelmanowitz risked his own chance of escape by staying behind with his friend and colleague, Ed Beyea, who was Confined to a wheelchair due to a paralysis (瘫痪). Both men lost their lives, but the stray of Avremels love and devotion to his friend conveys a life-giving message to all.Avremel never married, and he shared a house with his brother and his family. He was a loving uncle to his brothers children; and he was devoted to caring for his aging parents. He was a family man in every sense of the word. At the same time, he had his own life, his varied interests, and a job and friends.When the tragedy occurred, Avremel was age 55, and his friend, Ed Beyea, was age 42. Ed became disabled after a diving accident at age 22, but he managed to work 14 years at Blue Cross since his injury Both he and Avremel were program analysts who worked on the 27th floor of World Trade Center.They both loved books and music, and they both served as the special uncle of their respective families. Like Avremel, Ed had no children of his own, but he was a father figure to his two nephews after their father died.On the morning of September 11, Ed wanted to wait until he could be securely carried down by several rescue workers, as it was dangerous for someone with his disability to be moved. Avremel wouldnt allow his friend to wait alone when everyone else was fleeing the building, and he stayed with him.In the days that followed, the media learned about Awemels selfless act, and the story began to spread. President Bush, in his national prayer address to the American people, referred to Avremels act as one of the many outstanding acts of sacrifice that were demonstrated by Americans during this crisis. 16、What happened to Avremel and Ed during the 9 . 11 terrorist attack? A Avremel rescued Ed at tile cost of his life. B Both Avremel and Ed gave up their chance of escape. C Avremel stayed with Ed and both lost their lives. D Both Avremel and Ed were finally rescued. 17、What were the similarities between the two men? A Both of them loved hooks and music. B Both of them were in their 50s. C Both of them were disabled. D Both lived with their brothers families. 18、Which of the following statements is true according to the passage? A Avremel took care of Eds life after work. B Avremel liked diving when he was young. C Ed treated his nephews as his own children. D Ed became disabled after a driving accident. 19、Why did Avremel choose to stay when others were fleeing the building? A Because he expected the rescuers to help him. B Because he tried to carry Ed downstairs. C Because he thought it was safer to stay inside. D Because he didnt want to leave Ed behind. 20、The word address in the last paragraph means . A solution B speech C information D titlePassage TwoWhat youve always heard? Were eating way too much salt. The average American gets about 3.4 grams of sodium every day, far more than the upper limit of 2. 3 grams recommended by the USDA. The Institute of Medicine estimates that reducing sodium intake (摄取量) nationwide could prevent 100,000 deaths every year. The headlines now? Its time to get tough. The New York City health department recently kicked off a national effort to cut the amount of salt in packaged and restaurant food by 25% over five years. 80% of the salt in the average persons diet comes from those sources, not from the sahshaker (盐瓶).But wait! The benefits of salt reduction are surprisingly mruky. At least 13 studies have tried to find out what happens to people who choose to eat salty or not-so-salty food-and the results have pointed in eve3 direction. Sonre studies suggest that cutting salt protects the heart; others suggest that intense salt reduction can actually increase heart problems. Whats needed,Dr. Michael Alderman says, is a randomized (随机旳) , controlled trial, in which people are put on different diets and followed for years. Its the only way to get a reliable answer, but its never been done.So what should you do? Go easy on processed foods and eat more produce. Those changes will improve your diet in a variety of ways and cut the amount of sodium you consume. If your blood pressure is high, work with your doctor to control it with drugs and lifestyle changes. If your blood pressure is healthy? At this point, theres no convincing reason for you to count every grain.21、It is stated in Paragraph 1 that our sodium intake A is within the healthy rangeB is a bit over the upper limit C is far beyond what is necessary D is well below the lower limit22、The main sources of salt in our diet areA home-made food and packaged foodB restaurant food and saltshakersC home-made food and saltshakersD restaurant food and packaged food 23、What does the word murky (Para. 3) probably mean? A Unclear B Significant C Obvious D Exaggerated 24、What does Dr. Michael Alderman say about a randonfized, controlled trial? A It has been successfully conducted B It should be carded out. C It is already under way. D It is too late to try it. 25、As stated in the last paragraph, people with normal blood pressure A should consider a change of their lifestyle B have every reason to be careful about sodium C will not be affected by the amount of sodium taken D do not have to take sodium too seriously Passage ThreeThere is a tale that straw is the worst material from which to build a house, particularly if you are a pig with a hungry wolf around. So the cards were stacked against Warren Brush when local officials learned that he had several buildings made of straw bales ( 大捆 ) on his land.They have tried to fine him a lot. But the case is still unresolved. The problem is that Californias building codes make no provision for the use of straw. And Mr Brush has many defenders-among them several university scientists and David Eisenberg, the chairman of the United States Green Building Councils code connnittee. They would like to see the prejudice against straw houses eliminated, for straw is, in many ways, an ideal building material.It is, for one thing, a great insulator (绝缘体). That keeps down the heating bills in houses made from it. It is also a waste product that would otherwise be burned, and is therefore cheap, and very much to the point in a place like California, it is earthquake-resistant. Last year a test conducted at the University of Nevada showed that straw-bale constructions could withstand twice the amount of ground motion recorded in the Northridge earthquake that hit LosAngeles in 1994.There are other straws in the wind: a post office in suburban Albuquerque, a school in Maryland, and an office complex in suburban Los Angeles have all been built from straw. Even California is having a rethink, and may change its rules to adapt to straw-bale construction. As Mr Eisenberg observes, the lesson of the Three Little Pigs isnt to avoid straw. Its that you dont let a pig build your house.26、By the cards were stacked against Warren Brush, the author means that Brash A received punishment B made a breakthrough c would be in trouble D might win a prize 27、David Eisenberg is mentioned A as a representative of official opinions B for the purpose of supporting Warren Brush C to provide evidence against straw houses D to show the importance of the building codes 28、What is Paragraph 3 mainly about? A The structure of straw houses. B The possibility of building straw houses. C The suggestions for building straw houses. D The advantages of straw houses. 29、It can be learned from the last paragraph that California Al will fine Warren Brush as planned B will reduce the fine on Warren Brush C may consider a heavier fine on Warren Brush D may not fine Warren Brash 30、The authors purpose in writing the passage is to A show that straw can be used to build houses B highlight the prejudice against straw houses C explain how to build a house with straw D introduce a new building materialPassage FourI was talking with a senior Public Relations manager the other day about The Game Trainers and he expressed much doubt about both the possibility and value of getting senior professionals to play games.These are serious people with serious jobs, and they are not going to waste time running around like school children, he told me. This statement highlighted many of his assumptions.He also provided me with a golden opportunity to talk about how these serious people with serious jobs could actually learn something about themselves, their staff, their company, and their business opportunities by allowing creativity to flow more freely through games.His position is not uncommon and it comes from a deep seated misunderstanding of what a game is and what it is for, as well as a set notion of what work nmst look like for it to be considered of value. Its not a coincidence (巧合) that the most successful companies of the last decade, including Apple and Google, were all started by college students, and perhaps as a consequence have at their core a spirit of fun， creativity and innovation. Their success has not been achieved through a strict work environment, dull meetings and a 9 to 5 work time. Instead they have flowing and flexible work spaces, a culture of cooperation, opportunities for creativity and relaxed work structures.The Game Trainers support this innovative and highly productive approach to work by developing games to integrate into the working environment, And so, I said to the PR man, its a good thing that th
