This was one of my experiences 21 .When I was in my 30s,I was working for a large international company which had it’s head office in London. I was working in the 22 department.
The company had a training centre which was just outside London. Different courses were held there throughout 23 and I 24 go on one training course a year. These usually started 25 a Sunday evening and lasted six days.
Once I was 26 a week’s training course with about forty 27 sales people. I was in the bar on the Friday evening and suddenly a woman who was 28 behind the bar asked me a curious question.“I hope you don’t 29 my asking,” she said,“but I’ve been
30 about it all week. Have you got a sister 31 Mary?” The woman’s name was June. And she used to do various jobs at the training centre. She worked in the office, she organized all the food and drink for the centre and she worked in the bar at lunch time and in the evening.
My answer 32 June’s question was “Yes”,and June said,“I thought 33 .I met her last September when
she was organizing a course here.” At that time, my sister was working for 34 company but in a different part of the
country. That was 35 she came to be at the training centre.
36 surprised me was how June guessed we were
brother and sister. Three things made it even more 37 .First, she had met my
sister six months before she met me. Second, they have about sixty new people
every week at the training centre. So about one thousand five hundred people
had 38 the centre in those six months. And 39 ,my sister is married, so she
doesn’t have the same family name as me.
We’re not 40 ,but I guess we must look quite like each other.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中选出最佳选项。
A
Buying insurance is a way in which people can protect themselves against large losses. Protection against fire is one kind of insurance. Large numbers of people pay small sums of money to an insurance company. Although thousands of people have paid for fire insurance, only a few will lose their homes by fire. The insurance company will pay for these homes out of the small sums of money it had collected.
The first modern fire insurance company was formed in London in the 1740s.A great fire had just destroyed most of the city and people wanted protection against further losses. The first company grew rapidly. Some other companies were founded in other areas.
Benjamin Franklin helped form the first fire insurance company in America in 1752,and then a new kind of insurance for farmers was suggested. The new insurance would provide protection against the loss of crops from storms.
Later on another new insurance company was started in America. This company, which offered life insurance, collected small sums of money regularly from many different men. If a man died, his family was given a large sum of money.
Over the years, insurance companies have offered new kinds of insurance protection. The new kinds of insurance cover from such accidents as car to plane crashes. Today, most people have some kind of insurance.
41.The first fire insurance company was founded ______.
A. in England B. in 1740 C. in America D. in 1752

A. the first modern fire insurance company was founded before a great fire in London
B. in America, farmers have protection against the loss of crops from storms if they buy insurance

D. life insurance was started in London, England
43.Insurance means protection against ______.

BEIJING(Associated Press) China has a growing middle class, a tradition of expecting education and 21 million new babies every year. Selling educational toys should be easy.
While China may be the world’s biggest toy maker, much of the best is exported. Department stores here do not have enough high quality toys. It is said the demand for educational toys is low.
A US company, BabyCare, is trying to change that with a new way to sell toys in China. BabyCare works basically together with doctors in Beijing hospitals. People who join the company’s “mother’s club” get lectures and newsletters on baby and child development at no extra cost — if they agree to spend 18 dollars a month on the company’s educational toys and childcare books.
“We want to build a seven year relationship with those people,” said Matthew J.Estes, Baby Care’s president.“It starts during pregnancy（怀孕）,when the anxiety and needs are highest.” BabyCare works on a one-to-one basis. Doctors, nurses, and teachers — paid by BabyCare—advise parents, explaining toys that are designed for children at each stage of development to age six.
BabyCare opened its first store in China last June in a shopping center in central Beijing and another near Beijing Zoo. It plans to have 80 stores in China within six years.
It is a new model for China and develops a market in young children’s education and health that no other companies are in.
45.What do the first two paragraphs mainly tell us?
A. Educational toys and foreign toy markets.
B. Problems with China’s toy market and education.
C. Reasons for pushing sales of educational toys in China.
D. Baby population and various kinds of toys made in China.
46.Which of the following is a fact according to the passage?
A. Club members buy BabyCare products for free child care advice.
B. Doctors in Beijing help in making BabyCare products.
C. Parents are encouraged to pay $18 for club activities.
D. BabyCare trains Chinese doctors at no extra cost.
47.BabyCare is developing it’s business in China by ______.
A. opening stores in Beijing hospitals
B. offering 18-month courses on child care
C. setting up children’s education centers
D. forming close relationships with parents
48.Which of the following would be the most suitable title for the passage?
A. Mother’s Club in China B. BabyCare and Doctors
C. American Company Model D. On Educational Toys
C
Doctors say anger can be an extremely harmful emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it．They warn that angry feelings can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer．
Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time．Some people express anger openly in a calm, reasonable way．Others burst with anger, losing control of themselves．But still other people control their anger．They cannot or will not express it．
For years many doctors thought that controlling one’s anger was more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it．They said that when a person is angry, the brain lets out the same hormones（荷尔蒙）that are produced during tense situations．They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, and narrow the blood vessels．In general, the person feels excited and ready to act．
Doctors said that controlling theses feelings only makes the feelings continue．And this can lead to many medical problems．Doctors thought a person could prevent these problems by letting the anger out by expressing it freely．But recently some doctors held a different view．They said that people who express anger too often and violently did become, in fact, more and not less angry．They said this, too can cause medical problems．
Some doctors say that both controlling and expressing anger can be dangerous．They believe that those who express anger strongly may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who deep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure．
Some doctors say that both controlling and expressing anger can be dangerous．They believe that those who express anger strongly may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure．
Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger．They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about．If it is, they say, “Do not express your anger while angry．Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably．”
49．Controlling one’s anger was considered to be dangerous to his health because of all the following EXCEPT that ．
A．the heart rate increases B．the blood pressure rises
C．the situation is becoming tenser D．the blood vessels become narrow
50．Which of the following is the more recent view about the expression of anger?
A．One is likely to suffer from high blood pressure in a fit of great anger．
B．One can avoid his medical problems by expressing his anger freely．
C．One’s heart rate will not change if his anger is kept unexpressed．
D．It is dangerous both to express anger violently and to control one’s anger．
51．When you get angry, which of the following should you do for the sake of health?
A．Controlling your anger and then studying its cause．
B．Letting out your anger freely and then studying its cause．
C．Studying its cause and waiting till it cools down．
D．Waiting till it has cooled down and then studying its cause．
52．Which of the following can best replace the title of the passage?
A．Different Ways of Dealing with Anger．
B．The Danger of Anger and Its Solution．
C．New Medical Discoveries about Anger．
D．An Argument between the New and Old Views about Anger．
D
When I opened my e-mail the other day, a pretty woman named Rachel appeared on my computer screen．She greeted me by name and started talking with great enthusiasm．Every now and then she stopped to smile at me or blow a kiss．She was reading to me an e-mail from my brother．It was pretty cool．
Rachel was there thanks to a new technology called Facemail．Facemail lets you send an e-mail that gets read to the receiver on line by an attractive male or female or by a clown(小丑)．The software, which is free, can be downloaded at www．facemail．com．Facemail faces are lifelike, and they simulate(模仿)emotions based on emotions that you put in your text．Type in: -X, and Rachel blows a kiss．
Life FX, the company that develops the Facemail, is sure there are broad business uses．The reason why e-business is not popular, the company says, is that buying over the Internet lacks the human touch．But what if you went to the Nike website and Michael Jordan greeted you by name, waited on you and personally closed the sale? And it is talking with Whirpool Company about using the technology in a computer screen on a fridge．Then if Mom can’t be home when the kids get back from school, she can leave a note with voice and image telling them what there is to eat．
Facemail could get hot fast．Personally, I’m a fan．Facemail is lively and funny at first, but if you select the clown, put a few rude words in an e-mail and add some angry emotions, you’ve got a crazy mail．
53．The main advantage of Facemail is that ________．
A．you can hire a beautiful woman to read the e-mail to you
B．you can see the person who sends you the e-mail
C．you can put your own emotions in the e-mail as you like
D．the e-mail can be read in a more lovely way
54．We can infer from the passage that Facemail _______．
A．is likely to be used in other ways in our daily life
B．can destroy your e-mail if not properly used
C．is a software hard to download
D．will take the place of the e-mail system
55．The writer mentioned Nike website and Michael Jordan to show that ______．
A．famous people like Michael Jordan also like to use Facemail
B．Facemail can make shopping on the Internet more interesting
C．Nike company is increasing its sales through the fame of Jordan
D．Michael Jordan will serve you himself on Nike website
56．The writer thinks _______．
A．Facemail needs further improvement
B．Facemail is cool and funny
C．Facemail is a danger to the Internet
D．people should be careful with Facemail

You might not know it, but there is something wonderful at your fingertips. You can make people happier, healthier and more hard-working just by touching their arms or holding their hands.
Doctors say that body touch is a kind of medicine that can work wonders. When people are touched, the quantity of hemoglobin----a type of matter that produces the red color in blood--increases greatly. This results in more oxygen reaching every part of the body and the whole body benefits. In experiments, bottle-fed baby monkeys were separated from their mothers for the first ten days of life. They became sad and inactive. Studies showed the monkeys were more probable to become ill than other babies that were allowed to stay with their mothers.
Human babies react in much the same way. Some years ago, a scientist noticed that some well-fed babies in a clean nursery became weak. Yet babies in another nursery were growing healthily, even though they ate less well and were not kept as clean. The reason, he concluded, was that they often had touches from nurses.
Experiments show that most people like being touched. And nearly all doctors believe touch helps to reduce patients’ fear of treatment. Of course there is time when a touch is not welcome. But even if we don't like being touched, a smile can make us feel better. Smiling increases blood flow and starts the production of "happy brain" chemicals.
So let's have a big smile and don't forget to keep "in touch".
57. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Everyone knows that body contact can make people happier.
B. People may work harder because of body contact.
C. Your fingertips can do something wonderful.
D. People may not understand the importance of touching.
58. According to the passage, _________.
A. human brains need oxygen and blood supply now and then
B. touches from doctors and nurses have nothing to do with treatment
C. new-born baby monkeys should stay away from their mothers
D. not all people like being touched
59. The underlined word "benefits” in the second paragraph probably means"_____”
A. becomes useful or helpful B. gets something useful or helpful
C. falls ill D. gets hurt
60. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Comfortable Touch B. Smile
C. Wonders of Touch D. Keep in Touch
