I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together on the top step.“Any old papers, lady？” asked one of them.I was busy. I wanted to say “no” until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals, wet with heavy snow.“Come in and Ill make you a cup of hot cocoa.”They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started cooking.The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich？”“Am I rich? Pity, no！”I looked at my wornout slipcovers(椅套). The girl put her cup back in its saucer (碟) carefully and said, “Your cups match your saucers.” They left after that, holding their papers against the wind. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful.Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.I tasted the potatoes and stirred the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a regular job, these matched, too.I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy marks of little sandals were still wet upon my floor.

He was going a bit too fast in his shiny, black, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE, which was only two months old. He was watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no child came out, but a brick sailed out andWHUMP! it hit the Jags shiny black side door! Immediately Josh stopped the car, jumped out, seized the kid and pushed him up against a parked car. He shouted at the kid, “What was that all about and who are you? Thats my new Jag, that brick you threw is gonna cost you a lot of money. Why did you throw it? ” “Please, mister, please. . . Im sorry! I didnt know what else to do! ” begged the youngster. “I threw the brick because no one else would stop! ” Tears were streaming down the boys face as he pointed around the parked car. “Its my brother, mister, ” he said. “He rolled of the curb (路沿) and fell out of his wheelchair and I cant lift him up. ”Sobbing, the boy asked the businessman, “ Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? Hes hurt and hes too heavy for me. ” Moved beyond words, the young businessman tried hard to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. Straining, he lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapers and cuts, checking to see that everything was going to be OK. He then watched the younger brother push him down the sidewalk toward their home. It was a long walk back to the black, shining 12 cylinder Jaguar XKEa long and slow walk.

They are moving from the peaceful hills, mountains, fields, rivers and streams of the countryside to the busy world of streets, buildings, traffic and crowds. This movement from rural areas to urban areas has been going on for over two hundred years.w w w .x k b 1.c o mIn many countries, the main reason people come to live in towns and cities is work. After one or two large factories have been built in or near a town, people come to find work, and soon an industrial area begins to grow. There is usually a_residential_area nearby, too. The families of these workers need schools, hospitals and shops, so many people come to live in the area to provide these services and a city grows.In every major city in the world, there is a business district where the big companies have their main offices. In the United States, this area is usually in the city center downtown. It is here that you can see many huge skyscrapers(摩天大楼) and office blocks. The people who work here often travel a long way to work each day. Many of them live in the suburbs of the city, far away from the industrial area and the city center. Some suburbs are very pleasant, with nice houses and big gardens. There are usually parks for children to play in and large department stores where you can buy all you need.But what is the future of the big cities? Will they continue to get bigger and bigger? Perhaps not. Some major cities have actually become smaller in the last ten years, and it is quite possible that one day we will see people moving out of the major cities and back into smaller towns and villages.36Why do people move to live in cities or towns?ABecause they can live more comfortably there.BBecause they like noisy life better than peaceful life.CBecause they mainly want to find work there.DBecause they are sure of having a better life there.37The underlined phrase “a residential area” means an area_.Awhere people can buy thingsBwhich is suitable for living inCwhere people can do businessDwhich is near a city center38Which of the following statement is NOT true about the business district?ABig companies usually have their main offices in the business district.BPeople usually work and live in the business district.CA business district usually lies in the city center downtown.DNearly every major city has its own business district.39In the United States, many people work in the center of a big city_.Aand live thereBbut live in the suburbs of the cityCand live in another cityDbut live in rural areas40We can infer that this movement from rural to urban areas _.Ahas been going on for more than 2,000 yearsBwill surely continue in the futureCmay not continue in the futureDhas now stopped alreadyDMoving in with a boyfriend causes women to eat more unhealthily and put on weight. But the opposite is true for men, whose longterm health benefits when they move in with a female partner.Dieticians at Newcastle University said both partners try to please one another, and so change their dietary habits to suit their other half.It leads men to eat more light meals, such as salads, fruit and vegetables, while women choose to make creamier, heavier dishes like curry or rich pasta sauces, which may please their partner.Women still have the strongest longterm influence over the couples diet and lifestyle, as they still have the traditional role of shopper and cook in most households.The report, by Newcastle Universitys Human Nutrition Research Centre, reviewed the finding of a variety of research projects from the UK, North America and Australia, which looked at the eating and lifestyle habits of couples.The research shows that women are more likely to put on weight and increase their consumption of foods high in fat and sugar when they move in with their partner.Women also use food as a comfort when dealing with emotional stress and have been found to gain weight when a relationship ends, while the same finding has not been observed in men. Many couples reported food as being central to their partnership, and eating together in the evening was particularly important to many. Report author and registered dietician Dr. Amelia Lake said, “The research has shown that your partner is a strong influence on lifestyle and people who are trying to live healthier lives should take this factor into consideration.”41According to the passage, moving in with a girlfriend, men _.Ahave few changes of their dietary habitsBhave to eat more unhealthy foodsCdont like foods high in fat and sugar at allDtry to eat foods that their girlfriends like 42The underlined word “light”(in Paragraph 3 ) probably means _.Anot very heavy Bless in fat and sugarCgentle Dnot serious or important 43According to the report by Newcastle Universitys Human Nutrition Research Centre, _.Awomen put on weight only because they want to suit their other halfBwhen men are faced with emotional stress, they will change their dietary habitsCeating together in the evening is a good way to communicate for couplesDit is wrong to change your dietary habits to suit your partner44From the passage, we can infer that _.Awomen should pay more attention to their partners influence on themBmore men will play roles of shopper and cook in most households Ccouples will not change their dietary habits and lifestyle to please their partnerDlongterm health of men benefits when they move in with a female partner45What would be the best title for the passage?ADont be silly any more, women!BWhich are better dietary habits?CBoyfriends make you fatDDr. Amelia Lake and his study第二节 信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）首先，请阅读下列的应用文：A.
