The Forbidden Apple
New York used to be the city that never sleeps. Theses days, it’s the city that never smokes, drinks or does anything naughty (at least, not in public). The Big Apple is quickly turning into the Forbidden Apple.
If you wanted a glass of wine with your picnic in Central Park, could you have one? No chance. Drinking alcohol in public isn’t allowed. If you decided to feed the birds with the last crumbs (碎屑) of your sandwich., you could be arrested. It’s illegal if you went to a bar for a drink and a cigarette, that would be OK, wouldn’t it? Er…no. You can’t smoke in public in New York City.
What’s going on? Why is the city that used to be so open-minded becoming like this? The mayor of New York is behind it all. He ahs brought in a whole lot of new laws to stop citizens from doing what they want, when they want.
The press are shocked. Even the New York police have joined the argument. They recently spent $100,000 on a ―Don’t blame the cop‖ campaign. One New York police officer said, ―We raise money for the city by giving people fines for breaking some very stupid laws. It’s all about money.‖
The result is a lot of fines for minor offences. Yoav Kashida, an Israel tourist, fell asleep on the subway. When he woke up, two police officers fined him because he had fallen asleep on two seats (you mustn’t use two seats in the subway). Elle and Serge Schroitman were fined for blocking a driveway with their car. It was their own driveway.
The angry editor of vanity Fair magazine, Graydon Carter, says, ―Under New York City law it is acceptable to keep a gun in your place of work, but not an empty ashtray.‖ He should know. The police came to his office and took away his ashtray (烟灰缸)。
But not all of the New York’s inhabitants are complaining. Marcia Dugatty, 72, said, ―The city has changed for the better. If more cities had these laws, America would be a better place to live,‖ Nixon Patricks, 38, a barman, said, ―I like the new laws, if people smoked in here, we’d go home smelling of cigarettes.‖
Recent figures show that New York now has fewer crimes per 100,000 people than 193 other US cities. And it’s true-it’s safe, cleaner and more healthy than before. But let’s be honest-who goes to New York for its clean streets?
16. Some activities have recently become illegal in New York.
A Right
B Wrong C Not mentioned
17. It is now illegal to smoke or drink alcohol anywhere in New York.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned 18. Eating apples in the park is illegal.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned 19. The businessmen like the new laws.
A Right
B Wrong C Not mentioned
20. Elle and Serge Schoronitman parked their car on the public driveway.
A Right A Right
B Wrong C Not mentioned B Wrong C Not mentioned
21. The editor of Vanity Fair magazine thinks some of the new laws are stupid. 22. New York is cleaner and safer than before.
A Right B Wrong C Not mentioned

Are You a Successful Leader? 1. Almost nothing we do in this word is done in isolation. At work or at play, you’ll find yourself
in groups, working with other people: your team at work, a meeting with colleagues, your family, a holiday with friends, a group of students working together, a day out walking in the mountains, a group of neighbors wanting to make changes. It is now recognized that being able to work successfully with other people is one of the major keys to success. Partly because we need to do it so often.
2. In almost every situation where you’re in a group, you will need a skilled leader. All groups
need leaders and all successful groups have good leaders. Groups without leaders or with weak leaders almost always break down. Members of a leaderless group often begin to feel dissatisfied and frustrated. Time is wasted and the tasks are not achieved. There are often arguments and tensions between people as there is nobody to keep the goals clear. Some personalities dominate and other disappears. Often group members begin not to come to meetings in order to avoid more disharmony.
3. Some people are natural leaders. The celebrity chef, Antonio Carlucci says, ―True leaders a re
born and you can spot them in kitchens.‖ They’re people who combine toughness, fairness and humour. Although a lot of people agree that there are some natural –born leaders, most people now recognize that leadership can also be taught. Our professional and experienced staff can train almost anyone how to be a successful leader. Good leaders don’t make people do things in a bossy, controlling way. You can learn how to involve everyone, encouraging the whole group to work towards a common goal.
4. Our training courses use activities and techniques to develop a range of qualities which are
necessary to be a good leader. Self-confidence is vital and being able to overcome your own fears about being a leader. Successful leaders also need to be calm and intelligent. They need to be able to work out good strategies and make sound judgments under pressure. Lastly, and probably most importantly, good leaders need to be sensitive, sociable and be able to get on with a wide range of people. Good leadership is essentially the ability to influence others and good leaders allow all members of the group to contribute.

下面有3篇短文，每篇短文后有5道题。请根据短文内容，为每题确定1个最佳选项。
第一篇The Smell of Money
For many years large supermarkets have been encouraging us to spend money by pumping the smell of freshly-baked bread into their stories. Now Dale Air, a leading firm of aroma (香气) consultants, has been approached by Barclay’s Bank to develop suitable artificial smells for their banks. Researchers have suggested that surrounding customers with the ―smell if money‖ will encourage them to feel relaxed and optimistic and give them added confidence in the bank’s security and professionalism.
But before a smell can be manufactured and introduced into banks’ air conditioning systems. It must be identified and chemically analyzed, and this has proved to be difficult. The problem is that banknotes-and coins tend to pick up the smell of their surroundings. So cash that has been sitting in a cash register at a fishmonger’s (鱼贩) will smell of fish, and banknotes used to pay for meals in restaurants will tend to smell of food.
It may be a challenge, but aroma experts have little doubt that the use of artificial smells can be an effective form of subconscious advertising. Lunn Poly, a British travel company, introduced the smell of coconuts (椰子) into its travel agencies and saw a big increase in spending by holiday makers. Many cafes now have electric dispensers (自动售货机) that release the smell of freshly roasted coffee near their entrances, subtly encouraging customers to come in and have a drink or snack. Even prestigious car maker Rolls-Royce has been spraying the inside of its cars to enhance the smell of the leather seats.
―The sense of smell is probably the most basic and primitive of all human senses,‖ explains researcher Jim O’Rordan. ― There is a direct pathway from the olfactory (嗅觉的) organs in the nose to the brain.‖ It is certainly true that most people find certain smells incredibly strong,
stringing memories and feelings in a way that few other stimulants (刺激物) can rival. It is a phenomenon marketing consultants have long recognized, but until recently have been unable to harness. ―We’ve made great progress but the technology of odour production is still in its infancy,‖ says O’Riordan, ―Who knows where it will take us.‖
31. Artificial smells have NOT been used in
A cafes B banks C travel agencies D supermarkets
32. Researchers believe that introducing the ―smell of money‖ into banks will encourage people
A to spend money
B to feel confident about banks C to earn more money
D to withdraw money from banks
33. The difficulty of producing the ―smell of money‖ lies in that
A people’s attitudes toward money are different B it’s hard to identify and analyze it C no technology can do it D experts have no motive
34. The word ―harness‖ in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to
A see B study C control D understand
35. Researchers think
A artificial smells help to improve people’s memory
B the technology to produce artificial smells is in the early stage C artificial smells are harmful
D the production of artificial smells is profitably
第二篇 Spoilt for Choice
Choice, we are given to1 believe, is a right. In daily life, people have come to expect endless situations about which they are required to make decisions one way or another. In the main2, these are just irksome moments at work which demand some extra energy or brainpower, or during lunch breaks like choosing which type of coffee to order or indeed which coffee shop to go to. But sometimes selecting one option as opposed to another can have serious or lifelong repercussions. More complex decision-making is then either avoided, postponed, or put into the hands of the army of professionals, lifestyle coaches, lawyers, advisors, and the like. waiting to lighten the emotional burden for a fee. But for a good many4 people in the world, in rich and poor countries, choice is a luxury, not a right. And for those who think they are exercising their right to make choices, the whole system is merely an illusion, created by companies and advertisers wanting to
sell their wares5.
The main impact of endless choice in people's lives is anxiety. Buying something as basic as a coffee pot is not exactly simple. Easy access to a wide range of consumer goods induces a sense of powerlessness, even paralysis, in many people, ending in the shopper giving up and walking away6, or just buying an unsuitable item that is not really wanted in order to solve the problem and reduce the unease. Recent surveys in the United Kingdom have shown that a sizeable proportion of electrical goods bought per household are not really needed. The advertisers and the shareholders of the manufacturers are, nonetheless, satisfied.
It is not just their availability that is the problem, but the speed with which new versions of products come on the market. Advances in design and production mean that new items are almost ready by the time that goods hit the shelves7. Products also need to have a short lifespan so that the public can be persuaded to replace them within a short time. The classic example is computers which are almost obsolete once they are bought. At first, there were only one or two available from a limited number of manufacturers, but now there are many companies all with not only their own products but different versions of the same machine. This makes selection a problem. Gone are the days when one could just walk with ease. into a shop and buy one thing8; no choice, no anxiety.
The plethora of choice is not limited to consumer items. With the greater mobility of people around the world, people have more choice about where they want to live and work — a fairly recent phenomenon. In the past, nations migrated across huge swathes of the earth in search of food, adventure, and more hospitable environments. Whole nations crossed continents and changed the face of history, So the mobility of people is nothing new. The creation of nation states and borders9 effectively slowed this process down.
36. Sometimes people ask professionals to help them make decisions because
A the decisions may have serious impact on their lives
B only professionals have the right to do that C they have sufficient money to pay D they have emotional problems
37. When people cannot easily decide what to buy, which of the following is the least possible choice?
A Giving up B Walking away
C Buying an unsuitable item D Seeking advice
38. Why do products have a short lifespan nowadays?
A They are of poor quality.
B They are quickly replaced with new ones. C They have too many versions.
D They are not designed by computers.
39. How does migration today differ from that of the past?
A People now migrate to find better jobs. B People now migrate for better life.
C People now migrate for better environments. D People now have more choice about where to migrate. 40. Which of the following best expresses the writer’s view on choice?
A Better more choice than no choice B Better no choice than more choice C All choice is easy D More choice, more anxiety
第三篇 Cell Phones: Hang Up or Keep Talking?
Millions of people are using cell phones today. In many places it is actually considered unusual not to use one. In many countries, cell phones are very popular with young people. They find that the phones are more than a means of communication—having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.
The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professional worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serous debate about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.
On the other hand, why do some medical studies show changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones? Signs of change in the issues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning (扫描) equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss. He couldn’t remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone use, but his employer’s doctor didn’t agree.
What is it that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about.
As the discussion about their safety continues, it appears that it’s best to use mobile phones less often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now, it’s wise not to use your mobile phone too often.
41. People buy cell phones for the following reasons EXCEPT that
A they’re popular B they’re cheap C they’re useful
D they’re convenient
42. The world ―detected‖ in paragraph 3 could be best replaced by
A cured B removed C discovered
D caused
43. The salesman retired young because
A he disliked using mobile phones
B he was tired of talking on his mobile phone C he couldn’t remember simple tasks D his employer’s doctor persuaded him to
44. On the safety issue of mobile phones, the manufacturing companies
A deny the existence of mobile phone radiation
B develop new technology to reduce mobile phone radiation C try to prove that mobile phones are not harmful to health D hold that the amount of radiation is too small to worry about 45. The writer’s purpose of writing this article is to advise people
A to buy mobile phones B to update regular phones C to use mobile phones less often D to stop using mobile phones

Mt. Desert Island
The coast of the State of Maine is one of the most irregular in the world. A straight line running from the southernmost coastal city to the northernmost coastal city would measure about 225 miles. If you followed the coastline between these points, you would travel more than ten times as far. This irregularity is the result of what is called a drowned coastline____ (46). At that time, the whole area that is now Maine was part of a mountain range that towered above the sea. As the glacier (冰川) descended, however, it expended enormous force on those mountains, and they sank into the sea.
As the mountains sank, ocean water charged over the lowest parts of the remaining land, forming a series of twisting inlets and lagoons (咸水湖). The highest parts of the former mountain range, nearest the shore, remained as islands. ____ (47) Marine fossils found here were 225 feet above sea level, indicating the level of the shoreline prior to the glacier.
The 2,500-mile-long rocky coastline of Marine keeps watch over nearly two thousand islands. Many of these islands are tiny and uninhabited, but many are home to thriving communities. Mt. Desert Island is one of the largest, most beautiful of the Maine coast islands. Measuring 16 miles by 12 miles. Mt. Desert was essentially formed as two distinct islands, _____ (48)
For years, Mt. Desert island, particularly its major settlement, Bar Harbor, afforded summer home for the wealthy. Recently though, Bar Harbor has become a rapidly growing arts community as well. But, the best part of the island is the unspoiled forest land known as Acadia National Park. Because the island sits on the boundary line between the temperate (温带) and sub-Arctic zones, the islands supports the plants and animals of both zones as well as beach, inland, and alpine (高山的) plants.____ (49). The establishment of Acadia National Park in 1916 means that this natural reserve will be perpetually available to all people, not just the wealthy. Visitors to Acadia may
receive nature instruction from the park naturalists as well as enjoy camping, cycling, and boating. Or they may choose to spend time at the archeological museum, learning about the Stone Age inhabitants of the island.
The best view on Mt. Desert Island is from the top of Cadillac Mountain. ____ (50) From the summit, you can gaze back toward the mainland or out over the Atlantic Ocean and contemplate the beauty created by a retreating glacier.
A It also lies in a major bird migration
B Mt. Desert Island is one of the
C The wealthy residents of Mt. Desert Island selfishly kept it to themselves. D The term comes from the activity
E This mountain rises 1,532 feet, making it the highest mountain on the Atlantic seaboard. F It is split almost in half by Somes Sound, a deep and narrow stretch of water, seven miles long.

Travel Across Africa
For six hours we shot through the barren (荒芜的) landscape of the Karoo desert in South
Africa. Just rocks and sand and baking sun. Knowing our journey was ending, Daniel and I just wanted to remember all we had seen and done. He used a camera. I used words. I had already finished three notebooks and was into the fourth, a beautiful leather notebook I’d bought in a market in Mozambique.
Southern Africa was full of stories and visions. We were almost drunk on sensations. The roaring of the water at Victoria Falls, the impossible silence of the Okavango Delta in Botswana.
And then the other things: dogs in the streets, whole families in Soweto living in one room, a kilometre from clean water.
As we drove towards the setting sun, a quietness fell over us. The road was empty-we hadn't seen another car for hours. And as I drove, something caught my eye,
something moving close enough to touch them, to smell their hot breath. I didn't know how long they had been there next to us.
I shouted to Dan: \but he was in a deep sleep, his camera lying useless by his feet. They raced the car for a few seconds, then disappeared far behind us, a memory of heroic forms in the red landscape.
When Daniel woke up an hour later I told him what had happened. \\ \ \ou were the one who was sleeping!\
\ We checked into a dusty hotel and slept the sleep of the dead.
16. Daniel and Sophia drove slowly through the busy desert A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 17. Sophia wrote about her experiences in notebooks. A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned 18. Daniel took photos of the Nile River.

第一篇 Three Ways to Become More Creative
Most people believe they don't have much imagination. They are wrong. Everyone has imagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to access it. Creativity isn't always connected with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time routinely think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind! Here are three techniques to help you.
This technique involves taking unrelated ideas and trying to find links between them. First, think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image, word, idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all the ideas/words associated with candles: light, fire, matches, wax: night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the ideas to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy a friend an original present; you could buy him tickets to a match or take him out for the night.
Imagine that normal limitations don't exist. You have as much time/space/money, etc. as you want. Think about your goal and the new possibilities. If, for example, your goal is to learn to ski, you can now practice skiing every day of your life (because you have the time and the money). Now adapt this to reality. Maybe you can practice skiing every day in December, or every Monday in January.
Look at the situation from a different point of view. Good negotiators(谈判者） use this technique in business, and so do writers. Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in their books. They ask questions: what does this character want? Why can't she get it? What changes must she make to get what she wants? What does she dream about? If your goal involves other people, put yourself \
31, According to the passage, when we become adults
A. most of us are no longer creative.
B. we are not as imaginative as children. C. we can still learn to be more creative. D. we are unwilling to be ―creative‖.
32. According to the first technique, if you need to solve a problem
A. you should link it with candles.
B. you could find an image and try to link it with the problem. C. you have to think of buying a present for a friend. D. you should link it with as many words as possible.
33. The second technique suggests that you just imagine
A. you have every resource to achieve your goal. B. setting a goal is as simple as skiing.
C. new possibilities will soon appear.
D. December and January are the best months for skiing.
34. The phrase \
A. dress yourself like them. B. think as they would. C. do as they ask you to. D. put on their shoes,
35. We learn from the third technique that a good salesman should ask himself:
A. what do I usually do?
B. what did my boss tell me to do? C. what are my customers' needs? D. how should I sell my products?
第二篇 Excessive Demands on Young People
Being able to multitask is-hailed by most people as a welcome skill, but not according to a recent study which claims that young people between the ages of eight and eighteen of the so-called Generation M are spending a considerable amount of their time in fruitless efforts as they multitask. It argues that, in fact, these young people are frittering（浪费） away as much as half of their time as they would if they performed the very same tasks one after the other.
Some young people are using an ever larger number of electronic devices as they study. At the same time they are working, young adults are also surfing on the Internet, or sending out emails to their friends, and/or answering the telephone and listening to music on their iPods or on another computer. As some new device comes along, it is also added to the list rather than replacing one of the existing devices. Other research has indicated that this multitasking is even affecting the way families themselves function as young people are too wrapped up in(沉湎于) their own isolated worlds to interact with the other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house nor can they eat at the family table.
All this electronic wizardry(魔力) is supposedly also seriously affecting young people's performance at universit3t and in the workplace. When asked about their opinions of the impact of modern gadgets (小装置) on their performance of tasks, the great majority of young people gave a favourable response.
The response from the academic and business worlds was not quite as positive. The former feel that multitasking with electronic gadgets by children affects later development of study skills, resulting in a decline in the quality of writing, for example, because of the lack of concentration on task completion. They feel that many undergraduates now urgently need remedial (补救的) help with study skills. Similarly, employers feel that young people entering the workforce need to be taught all over again, as they have become deskilled.
While all this may be true, it must be borne in mind that more and more is expected of young people nowadays; in fact, too much. Praise rather than criticism is due in respect of the way today's youth are able to cope despite what the older generation throw at them.
36. What is probably true about the multitasking Generation M?
A. They waste more time than they should spend. B. They feel they are more efficient than others. C. They put more energy on important tasks. D. They need to improve their analytical skills.
37. With the introduction of new gadgets, what happens to the Generation M's present e-devices?
A. They become part of their collection. B. They give way to the latest C. They are quickly put aside. D. They are sold to their friends. 38.Multitasking makes the Generation M
A. feel lonely and pitiful. B. selfish and aggressive. C. silent and sad.. D. distant to their family
39.The academics feel that many undergraduates badly need to
A. adjust their social attitudes. B. seek psychological assistance. C. take more business courses. D. improve their study skills.
40. What attitude should the older generation adopt towards the multitasking youth?
A. Supportive. B. Critical. C. Thankful. D. Negative.
第三篇 Cell Phones: Hang Up or Keep Talking?
Millions of people are using cell phones today. In many places it is actually considered unusual not to use one. In many countries, cell phones are very popular with young people. They find that the phones are more than a means of communication- having a mobile phone shows that they are cool and connected.
The explosions around the world in mobile phone use make some health professionals worried. Some doctors are concerned that in the future many people may suffer health problems from the use of mobile phones. In England, there has been a serious debate about this issue. Mobile phone companies are worried about the negative publicity of such ideas. They say that there is no proof that mobile phones are bad for your health.
On the other hand, why do some medical-studies show changes in the brain cells of some people who use mobile phones? Signs of change in the tissues of the brain and head can be detected with modern scanning (扫描) equipment. In one case, a traveling salesman had to retire at a young age because of serious memory loss, He couldn't remember even simple tasks. He would often forget the name of his own son. This man used to talk on his mobile phone for about six hours a day, every day of his working week, for a couple of years. His family doctor blamed his mobile phone
use, but his employer's doctor didn't agree.
What is jt that makes mobile phones potentially harmful? The answer is radiation. High-tech machines can detect very small amounts of radiation from mobile phones. Mobile phone companies agree that there is some radiation, but they say the amount is too small to worry about. As the discussion about their safety-continues, it appears that it's best to use mobile phones less often. Use your regular phone if you want to talk for a long time. Use your mobile phone only when you really need it. Mobile phones can be very useful and convenient, especially in emergencies. In. the future, mobile phones may have a warning label that says they are bad for your health. So for now, it's wise not to use your mobile phone too often.
41. People buy cell phones for the following reasons EXCEPT that
A. they're popular. B. they're useful. C. they're convenient D. they're cheap.
42. The word \
A. cured. B, removed. C. discovered. D. caused.
43. The salesman retired young because
A. he couldn't remember simple tasks. B. he disliked using mobile phones.
C. he was tired of talking on his mobile phone.
D. his employer's doctor persuaded him to.
44. On the safety issue of mobile phones, the manufacturing companies
A. hold that the amount of radiation is too small to worry about. B. deny the existence of mobile phone radiation.
C develop new technology to reduce mobile phone radiation D. try to prove that mobile phones are not harmful to health. 45. The writer's purpose of writing this article is to advise people
A. to buy mobile phones. B. to use mobile phones less often. C. to update regular phones. D. to stop using mobile phones.
