II. 阅读理解（Reading comprehension）（共20小题；选择题5小题，每小题1分，非选择题15小题，每小题2分，计35分）
A）选择题：阅读下面短文，从A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出能回答所提问题的最佳答案。（答案涂在答题纸上）
Can you understand the beginning of this essay?
“My smmr hols wr CWOT. B4, we usd 2go2 NY 2C my bro, his GF & 3 kds FTF.”
The Scottish teacher who received it in class had no idea what the girl who wrote it meant. The essay was written in a form of English used in cell phone text messages. Text messages（also called SMS）through cell phones became very popular in the late 1990s. At first, mobile phone companies thought that text messaging would
be a good way to send messages to customers, but customers quickly began to use the text messaging service to send messages to each other. Teenagers in particular enjoyed using text messaging, and they began to create a new language for messages called “texting.”
A text message is limited to 160 characters, including letters, spaces, and numbers, so mess- ages must be kept short. In addition, typing on the small keypad of a cell phone is difficult, so it’s common to make words shorter. In texting, a single letter or number can represent a word, like “r” for “are,” “u” for “you,” and “2” for “to.” Several letters can also represent a phrase, like “lol” for “laughing out loud.” Another characteristic of texting is the leaving out of letters in a word, like spelling “please” as “pls.”
Some parents and teachers worry that texting will make children bad spellers and bad writers. The student who wrote the essay at the top of this page said writing that way was more comfortable for her.（The essay said, “My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three kids face to face.”）
Not everyone agrees that texting is a bad thing. Some experts say languages always develop, and this is just another way in which English is changing. Other people believe texting will disappear soon. New technology for voice messages may soon make text messages a thing of the past.
46. What is the writer’s opinion of text messaging? A. The writer does not give his opinions. B. It is not bad for children. C. It will make children bad writers. D. It is fun and easy to do.
47. Which characteristic of texting is NOT described in the passage? A. Using letters to represent words. B. Using phrases to represent essays. C. Using letters to represent phrases. D. Using numbers to represent words.
48. Which of the following was most probably the title of the student’s essay? A. My Smmr Hols B. CU in LA C. My GF D. My Gr8 Tchr
49. Why do some people think that texting is bad? A. It costs too much. B. It’s too difficult to type.
C. Teenagers won’t learn to write correctly. D. It’s not comfortable.
50. Why aren’t some people worried about the effect of texting? A. Not many people use texting. B. Spelling in English is too difficult.
C. Teenagers quickly become bored with texting. D. Texting will disappear because of new technology.
B）非选择题：阅读下列材料，然后按要求完成所给出的题目。（答案写在答题纸上）
A
Questions 51—55: Answer each of the following questions in no more than 3 words. 51. Which is the best channel for news? 52. Who has returned to playing tennis? 53. What time does the romantic film start? 54. How much money is the game show prize? 55. What does “on the air” mean?
B
The man looks uncomfortable. He is not speaking. His girlfriend keeps asking him what’s wrong. “Nothing,” he replies each time. You must be familiar with this kind of scene. Romantic comedies and TV dramas often show this kind of relationship problem.（59）Such problems among couples often result from not understanding their partner’s communication style.
（60）Psychologists（心理学家）have found some basic differences between the sexes in the ways they communicate. Firstly, women typically prefer to talk about their feelings, while men tend to withdraw. For example, when a couple has a problem, a woman will typically try to solve the problem by talking about it with her partner. A man, on the other hand, is usually more likely to solve the problem on his own. He, therefore, removes himself from the situation, or tries to get away from the woman to be by himself.
Secondly, men and women respond to each other differently. Both men and women are very good at reading their partners’ feelings. The difference is in their reactions. Women, psychologists say, are receptive and responsive. This means that they actually feel what their partner is feeling. In contrast, men understand their partners’ feelings, but don’t actually feel them themselves. For example, if a man is stressed, his partner will see this and become stressed. However, if a woman is stressed, her partner will recognise it but won’t become stressed.
In the book Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus by John Gray, men and women are described as originally being from different planets. As a result, they naturally have different styles of thinking, behaving, and communicating. These fundamental differences can cause misunderstandings between them. The most important thing for a healthy relationship is to realise and understand these differences.
Questions 56—58: Answer the following questions briefly. 56. What’s the passage mainly about?
57. Which word in the second paragraph means “distance oneself”? 58. How will a man respond when he notices his partner becoming stressed? Questions 59—60: Translate the underlined sentences into Chinese.
C
Questions 61—65: Answer the questions or complete the sentence.
61. How many different water temperatures are suggested for machine washes?
62. What is the maximum water temperature suggested for machine-washing a white cotton sheet? 63. When washed in a machine, which cycle should be used for cotton mixture clothes? 64. Which two natural fibres should you not wring by hand?
65. When describing materials, the term “colour-fast” means ________ .

A）Read the following passage, and then use your own words to give a brief summary of it in about 80 words.（10分）（答案写在答题纸上）
When promoting a product around the world, it benefits companies to understand local customs in detail. Knowing what appeals to（吸引）potential customers can help a product to be successful.
When it comes to the name of the product, the most important thing to consider is the local language. For example, Coca Cola tried to write their name in Chinese as Ke-dou-ken-la（蝌蚪啃蜡）. Of course, this sounded so
silly that the company had to take down all the posters! The name was later changed into more appropriate Chinese characters（可口可乐）meaning, “The more you drink, the more fun you’ll have.”
There are other things to think about, too. Different traditions mean that even simple things like colours or numbers can affect the success of a product. For example, in some cultures there are unlucky colours, such as black in Japan or white in China. Some cultures think that certain numbers are unlucky. It would be very unwise to use these unlucky colours or numbers in your product or advertising.
Finally, different cultures have different concepts of relationships between men and women. It may make certain pictures unsuitable for some cultures. For example, pictures of couples kissing each other on posters would make Muslims in the Middle East very embarrassed.
Despite a product being the same, the success of its business depends on how appropriately and effectively it appeals to people in different countries. Knowing such things is the golden rule of doing global business.

Companies doing business around the world need to understand local cultures to be successful. When a company is trying to sell its product in a foreign country, it must make sure that the product’s name appeals to local customers. It’s also important to consider each culture’s beliefs as to what is and is not lucky. In addition, when advertising, a company should be careful to show men and women in a respectful way. With knowledge of these subjects, success is possible.
B）One possible version:
Many people nowadays are worried about their figures, so lots of us want to lose weight. Unfortunately, this is not always easy because so much of our food is not really good for us. For example, fast food, such as burgers and crisps, contains lots of fat.
Some people think that the best way to control your weight is to eat only lettuce and be miserable! In fact this is not at all good for you. It’s much better to eat a diet which consists of lots of different sorts of food.
Choose good quality bread, rice, pasta and potatoes for energy. Make sure you eat lots of fruit and vegetables. Meat, fish, cheese and eggs are also good but you don’t need so much of these. It’s most important to eat a balanced diet. If you do this and take regular exercise, you’ll find it’s easy to eat well and stay healthy.

W: Hey look, Rex. Isn’t that Danny over there? M: I can’t see him, Fiona. Where? W: Sitting at a table in that café over there. M: It might be Danny. W: But who’s that he’s with?
M: Oh, she must be his mother. He said she was coming to visit him for a few days but not till next week. They must have changed their plans.
W: Look Rex, she can’t be his mother. She’s much too young. Could you get a bit closer and see who he’s with?
M: Why don’t you?
W: He might see me... OK. We’ll walk across together. We’ll pretend we’re looking in that shop window over there.
M: OK... No, you’re right, Fiona. She’s much too young. Hey, we ought to get back to college now—our lecture starts in ten minutes. Shall we just go and say hi as we go past?
W: I don’t think so. She could be his new girlfriend and I’d be embarrassed. Anyway, Rex, I’m not interested.
M: Oh no? You must forget about him, Fiona, you know. You two broke up ages ago. He’s really boring anyway. Come on. We need to get back...

M: Good morning. Here is the news for Wednesday the fifth of September, 2006.
The prime minister is in Washington to attend an international trade conference. He’ll spend two days at the conference and after that he’ll have talks at the White House with the president. At the weekend he’ll fly to Mexico.
A footbridge over the motorway between London and Oxford has been demaged and fell onto the road, causing serious delays, with traffic jams extending beyond the entrance of the motorway. Emergency services are at the scene but part of the motorway will remain closed until this afternoon.
Now here is the weather forecast for today.
There’s quite a lot of fog about this morning but it should clear to give a fine day with some clouds. It’ll be cold though. There will be a change as we move into the weekend. On Saturday and Sunday we can expect heavy rain as the clouds move in. Next week there should be more sunshine—that is if the early morning fog clears.
That’s all from me. I’ll be back at midday. Passage B

W: Good morning. I hope you slept well and are ready to start exploring South Wales on the first day of our holiday here. Before I tell you what we are doing today, the hotel has asked me to mention a few things. Meals are served in the dining room, except breakfast which is served in the coffee bar—any time between 6:45 and 9:15. We won’t actually be here to have lunch because we are going out on trips every day, so you need to order sandwiches for the next day’s lunch before seven each evening from reception. Collect your lunch from the dining room in the morning. In the evening the dining room is open from 7:00 p.m. until 9:30. I shall see you all in the dining room at a quarter past seven each evening.
I’m your tour guide in charge of all the trips and I look after you when we’re out. While you’re in the hotel, however, if you have any problems you should talk to the deputy manager.
In about ten minutes the coach is picking us up to take us on a tour of the valleys of South Wales. We are going to visit a wonderful waterfall first. Because it rains a lot here, it’s quite a sight.
Then we’re traveling a bit farther up the valley to visit a museum which has been built where there used to be a huge coal mine.
We’ll probably eat our lunch up there near the museum, in the coach if the weather’s bad. Then we’re making our way back south to the coast to admire some more beautiful scenery.
There’ll be time for a walk along the cliffs or if any of you are feeling energetic you can try a bit of windsurfing.
We will be back at the hotel by five o’clock. You’ll need a coat or something to keep you dry, some strong boots because our walk might be muddy and don’t forget your cameras. Now if anyone has any questions...
