19．My name is Dave Briggs，and I am a cyclist who is from England．Having packed a bag of my belongings（物品），I began my recent cycling trip，which is to cycle the Pan-American route from the north of Alaska to the south of Argentina．I began my journey in July 2010，and I guess that I will finish sometime in October 2011．
Not only has my trip given me so much natural beauty along rough roads，near Mayan ruins，but also it made me meet hundreds of friendly people who helped me a lot．They offered me some coffee and tea including delicious food．
This is not my first trip，however，my first trip is to cycle from England to South Africa．The scenery of the trip also impressed me，which is nearly 5years of travel around the world．
I like the trip so much that some people don't understand me．"Why not stay at home and listen to the classical music？"they often ask me．
I think not only can it give me lots of pleasure，but also it can increase my knowledge and keep in good health，can't it？

18．Ten years ago，Morgan Zuch，a two-year-old girl from Long Island，New York，was diagnosed with leukemia（白血�。�．The day that Morgan's father Rod knew it，he made a promise，"If my daughter gets better，I will devote the rest of my life to helping others who are in the Same condition．"
Fortunately．Morgan recovered gradually，and since then，Rod and his wife Nancy，have been helping other families with cancer．stricken children through the Morgan Center．It is the country's first preschool for children with cancer．
Because of the risk of germs，children with cancer are usually forbidden from playing with other kids．They must spend their days in hospital rooms or lying in bed at home．The Zuchs believed that children with cancer should have the opportunity to play，too．
The center offers the kids and their families a safe place to connect with others who have the same problem．To reduce the risk of infections，the center's staff wash their own and the children's hands frequently，and provide each child with his or her own toys and supplies．
"You feel like you're not the sick kid's mom，"said one child's mother，Maura Lewinger．"It is nice because none of the parents at the center are alienated（孤立的）．"
The Zuchs run the center as a non-profit organization and any family can bring their children to the center for free．Nancy Zuch works as the head teacher-with a little help from her daughter Morgan，now l2years old．Today，Morgan is strong and healthy，and loves to provide support for the children who are going through the difficult time that she once went through．She says she wants to be a teacher at the Morgan Center when she grows up．

41．The Zuchs created the Morgan CenterD．
A．to help their daughter to realize her dream
B．to invite other children to play with their daughter
C．to build a school for their daughter and her friends

17．Twenty years ago，I drove a taxi for a living．I met（21）Cpeople．But none touched me（22）Bthan a woman I picked up late one night．
I received a call from（23）Din a quiet part of town．When I arrived at 2：30a．m．，the building was（24）Aexcept for a single light in a ground floor window．I  walked to the door and（25）B．"Just a minute，"answered a（26）D，elderly voice．After a long pause，the door opened．A small woman（27）Cher 80s stood before me．Beside her was a small suitcase．I took it to the taxi．a(chǎn)nd then returned to（28）Athe woman．She took my arm and we walked（29）Dtoward the roadside．
Seated，she gave me（30）B．"I'm on my way to a hospice（臨終關(guān)懷醫(yī)院）．I'm in no hurry．Can you drive through downtown？"I saw her eyes shining with（31）Cin the rearview mirror．"I don't have any（32）Aleft．"she continued．"The doctor says I don't have very long．"
During the next two hours'（33）B，sometimes she asked me to（34）Cin front of a particular building or corner and she（35）Astare into the darkness．When we got to the destination，she asked，"How much do I（36）Dyou？""Nothing，"I said．"You（37）Cmake a living．"she answered．"I have（38）Bpassengers，"I replied，and gave her a hug． She held onto me（39）D．"You gave an old woman a little moment of joy，"she said．"Thank you．"
After that，I drove aimlessly，lost in thought．People usually believe that our lives center upon great moments．（40）Bgreat moments often catch us unaware，beautifully wrapped in what others may consider a small one．

15．Some 80 percent of graduate students in East China's Zhejiang province said in a survey they will give up trying to find jobs in Beijing，Shanghai and Guangzhou，first-tier cities in China that have been considered dream places for many，because of the untouchable home prices and high living costs．
The Yangtse Evening Post conducted the survey among 50 job seekers who were attending Sunday's job fair in Jiangsu for graduate students．The survey showed graduates are becoming more realistic in their job search despite the job market becoming better．
The fair attracted more than 10，000 graduate students with 7，382 positions．
"The pressure of buying a house in Beijing is unbelievable，"said Wang Jian from Nanjing Normal University，who acknowledged he had thought about finding a job in Beijing，Shanghai or Guangzhou，but in the face of huge pressures，he has no choice but to be"realistic．"
People can have a very comfortable life in Nanjing with a monthly salary of between 3，000 yuan （$450）and 4，000 yuan，but in Shanghai，5，000 yuan a month can only help you survive and buying a house will remain a dream，
A student from Nanjing University of Science and Technology said he just turned down an offer from a Shanghai company of 7，000 yuan a month because"living costs in Shanghai are too high．"
An unnamed male student from Nanjing University said he will try first-tier cities only if he can get a high salary．"I would go to Beijing only if I can earn 200，000 yuan a year，"he said．
"Beijing，Shanghai and Guangzhou once had the advantages that other cities don't have，but the high housing prices and living costs make young people barely able to breathe，"said Ren Leiming from the job service center of Jiangsu's colleges and universities．
"First-tier cities have plenty of talents that make it hard for people to be outstanding，and if you go work in smaller cities you can become a dominant player at your position much more easily，"said Ren．
72．Tthe majority of graduate students will give up trying to find jobs in the first-tier cities becauseB      
A it is not easy to find jobs there．
B．home prices and living costs there are very high．
C．they can't make full use of their knowledge and skills there．
D．monthly salaries there are low compared with those in other cities．
73．Which of the following statements is TRUE about the job market now？A
A．There are more job opportunities offered now
B The job markets are becoming more and more competitive．
C．Many graduate students are n't satisfied with the working conditions
D Companies and enterprises have stricter rules to take in graduate students．
74．We can learn from the news report that．D
A．In Shanghai，5，000 yuan a month can only help you buy a luxury house．
B．The fair attracted more than 10，000 graduate students and laid-off workers with 7，382 positions
C．The Yangtse Evening Post conducted the survey among 50 personnel managers who were attending Sunday's job fair in Jiangsu for graduate students．
D A student from Nanjing University of Science and Technology turned down an offer from a Shanghai company of 7，000 yuan a month
75．The words Ren said in the last paragraph mean．B
A．people can't achieve more in first-tier cities．
B．people can easily be outstanding in smaller cities
C．he would rather go to first-tier cities than smaller cities．
D．talents are more welcome in first-tier cities than smaller ones．

14．You are busy filling out the application form for a position you really need； lets assume you once actually completed a couple of years of college work or even that you completed your degree．Isn't it tempting to lie just a little，to claim on the form that your diploma （文憑）represents a Harvard degree？Or that you finished an extra couple of years back at State University？
More and more people are turning to an utter deception （欺騙）like this to land their first job or to move ahead in their careers．For personnel officers'like most Americans'value degrees from famous schools．A job applicant may have a good education anyway，but he or she assumes that chances of being hired are better with a diploma from a well-known university．Registrars（學(xué)籍管 理員）at most well-known colleges say that they deal with dishonest claims like these at the rate of about one per week．
Personnel officers do check up on degrees listed on application forms．If it turns out that an applicant is lying，most colleges are unwilling to accuse the applicant directly．One Ivy League school refers to them as"special cases．"One well-known West Coast school，in perhaps the most delicate phrase of all，says these claims are made by"no such people．"
To avoid complete lies，some job seekers claim that they"attended"or"were associated with"a college or university．After careful checking，a personnel officer may discover that"attending"means being dismissed after one semester．It may be that"being associated with"a college means that the job～seeker visited his younger brother for a football weekend．One school that keeps records of false claims says that the practice dates back at least to the turn of the century that's when they began keeping records，anyhow．
If you don't want to lie or even stretch the truth，there are companies that will sell you a fake diploma．One company，with offices in New York and on the West Coast，will put your name on a diploma from any number of nonexistent colleges．The price begins at around twenty dollars for a diploma from"Smoot State University．"The prices increase rapidly for a degree from the"University of Purdue．"As there is no Smoot State and the real school in Indiana is properly called Purdue University，the prices seem rather high for one sheet of paper．
68．The writer mainly wants to tell us thatC，
A．college degrees can now be purchased easily
B．nowadays it is very hard for people to find jobs
C．lying about college degrees is becoming a widespread problem
D．employers are no longer interested in applicants'actual performances
69．As used in the first line of the second paragraph，the word"utter"meansA
A．thorough B．careful C．incomplete D．spoken
70．Once finding applicants with false diplomas，most colleges would．C
A．keep the records of them
B．drive the them out of college
C．a(chǎn)void direct conflicts with them
D．a(chǎn)ccuse them of such behaviors
71•We can Ieam from the passage thatA．
A．US employers value their job applicants with a degree from top universities
B．University of Purdue and Purdue University are the same school
C．people with fake diplomas can get their first jobs in US easily
D．people pay the same price for a fake diploma from different universities．

13．Riding a London subway，a person from other countries will notice one major difference：in London，people do not look at each other．In fact，eye contact is avoided at all times．That's not rudeness-people are just too busy to bother looking．
Busy doing what，you ask？Well，they're certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet thinking．Nor are they reading a book．New technology has replaced quiet habits．Today the only acceptable form of book on the London Underground is an e-book．
Apple must earn a fortune from London commuters．Since the launch of the iPhone in 2007，over 40，000-yes，that's 40，000-"apps"（programs downloaded for the iPhone） have been designed．
Commuters love them because they are the perfect time-fillers．One"app"，called iShoot，is a game that features tanks（坦克）．Another one，Tube Exits，tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination．ISteam clouds the iPhone screen when you breathe into the microphone．You can then write in the"steam"on your phone screen．
For those without an iPhone，another Apple product，the iPod，may be the distraction（消遣）of choice．It's not just teenagers who"plug in"to their music-iPods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages．
And if games，e-books and music aren't enough to keep you occupied，then perhaps you would prefer a film．The development of palm DVD technology means many commuters watch their favorite TV show or film on the way to work．With all these distractions，it's amazing that people still remember to get off the train．

64．Commuters on a London subway don't make eye contact becauseD．
A．the British are usually shy on the train     
B．the British law doesn't allow them to do so
C．they are busy working on their laptops
D．they are busy enjoying high-tech distractions
65．All the following belong to"apps"exceptC．
A．iShoot       B．Tube Exits   C．iPod   D．iSteam
66．IShoot features a function ofA．
A．war games   B．listening   C．writing   D．guiding
67．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage？B
A．Seeing you have these time-fillers，other commuters usually hesitate to bother you．
B．Apple must have made much money by selling their products to commuters．
C．IPod is not popular with the commuters of old age in London．
D．With the time-fillers，commuters usually miss their destinations．

12．We all remember seeing hitchhikers，standing by the side of the road，thumb，sticking out，waiting for a lift．But it is getting rare nowadays．What killed hitchhiking？Safety is often mentioned as a reason．Movies about murderous hitchhikers and real-life crime have put many drivers off picking up hitchhikers．That no single women picked me up on my journey to Manchester no doubt reflects the safety fear：a large，strangely dressed man is seen as dangerous．
But the reason may be more complex：hitchhiking happens where people don't have cars and transport services are poor．Plenty of people still hichhike in Poland and Romania．Perhaps the rising level of car ownership in the UK means the few people lift hitchhiking are usually considered strange．Why can't they afford cars？Why can't they take the coach or the train？
Three-quarters of the UK population have access to a car； many of the remainder will be quite old．The potential hitchhiking population is therefore small．Yet my trip proves it's still possible to hitchhike．The people who pickes me up were very interesting-lawyer，retired surgeon，tank commander，carpenter，man who live in an isolated farmhouse and a couple living up in the mountains．My conclusion is that only really interesting people are mad enough to pick up fat blokes in red，spotted scarves．Most just wanted to do someone a good turn； a few said they were so surprised to see a hitchhiker that they couldn't help stopping．
The future of hitchhiking most likely lies with car-sharing organized over the Internet，via sites such as hitchhikers．org．But for now，you can still stick your thumb out（actually，I didn't do much of that，preferring just to hold up my destination sign） and people-wonderful，caring，sharing，unafraid people-will stop．
In the UK，with its cheap coaches and reasonable rail service，I don't think I'll make a habit of it．But having enjoyed it so much，I'm ready now to do a big trip across Eurpe and beyond．In the 1970s a female friend of my wife's hitchhiked to India．How wonderful it would be to have another go，though Afghanistan might be a challenge．I wish I'd got that tank commander's mobile number．

36．The author tried to hitchhike but was rejected by single women drivers becauseD．
A．they were not heading towards Manchester
B．they thought most hitchhikers were dangerous
C．hitchhiking had been handed and they didn't want to break the law
D．he was a strong man in strange clothes who seemed dangerous
37．Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage？A
A．Movies have discouraged people from hitchhiking
B．Car ownership levels are lower in Romania than in the UK．
C．25% of UK people don't have access to cars．
D．Increased car ownership has reduced the need for hitchhiking．
38．The"fat blokes in red，spotted scarves"in Paragraph 3most likely meansD．
A．murderous hitchhikers
B．friendly and talkative hitchhikers
C．typical hitchhikers
D．strange hitchhikers like the author
39．According to the author，future hitchhikers are more likely toA．
A．visit websites and find people to share cars with
B．stand by roads with their thumbs sticking out
C．stick out signs with their destinations written on
D．wait for some kind people to  pick them up
40．From the last paragraph，we know that the authorB．
A．frequently hitchhikes in Britain
B．plans to hitchhike across Europe
C．thinks public transport is safer for travel
D．is going to contact the tank commander．

11．There are many American expressions about insects-like bees，for example．Bees are known as very hare workers．They appear to be busy．moving around their homes，or hives．So you might say you were as busy as a bee if you spent your weekend cleaning your house．In fact．you might say your house was a beehive of activity it your whole family was helping you clean．You also might say you made a beeline for something it you went there right away．When we go to see a movie，my friend always makes a beeline for the place where they sell popcorn．
Here is an expression about bees that is not used much any more．but we like it anyway．We think it was first used in the 1920s．If something was tile best of its kind，you might say it is the bee's knees．Now．we admit that we do not know how this expression developed．In fact．we do not even know if bees have knees!
If your friend cannot stop talking about something because she thinks it is important，you might say she has a bee ill her bonnet （女帽）．If someone asks you a personal question，you might say"that is none of your beeswax．This means none of your business．
Speaking of personal questions，there is an expression when their children ask，"Where do babies come from？"Parents who discuss sex and reproduction say this is talking about the birds and bees．
Butterflies are beautiful insects，but you would not want to have butterflies in your stomach．That means to be nervous about having to do something，like speaking in front of a crowd．You would also not want to have ants in your trousers．That is，to be unable to sit still．

68．If you make a beeline for something，youB．
A．a(chǎn)re as busy as a bee             B．go quickly and directly towards it
C．a(chǎn)lways go to the same place      D．buy something at a certain place
69．The underlined expression"it is the bee's knees"D．
A．is not used at all now            B．was first used in the 1820s
C．reminds us that bees have knees   D．means"it is very good"
70．If you ask your American friend Jack"How old is your wife？"he may say"A．"
A．It is none of your beeswax        B．You have a bee in your bonnet
C．It is the bee's knees             D．you are talking about the birds and bees

10．Every American family has its own traditions on Thanksgiving Day，and mine is no difference．Once the national holiday arrives，my mom rises early to make the meal．She puts a turkey in the oven，chops carrots and bakes pies．I'm sorry to say that the men in the family-my dad，my younger brother and myself-rarely pitch in to help．Our job is to wash the mountain of dirty dishes after the meal is over．
Around 2pm every Thanksgiving Day，family members seat themselves around the kitchen table．Plates of turkey，vegetables，salad，rolls and pies cover it．At this point，we can hardly keep ourselves from drooling （流口水） all over our fancy clothes，but it's not yet time to eat．
First，we must bow our heads，close our eyes and say a prayer of thanks aloud to God for giving us everything we have．Under normal circumstances，I would have no problem making a list of things I am thankful for．I grew up in a loving family．My parents，who aren't wealthy，took out loans to help me pay for university．
But，the funny thing is，every time I sit down for Thanksgiving dinner and try to say a prayer of thanks，my mind usually goes blank．I think it has something to do with my growling （咕咕叫） stomach and all of that food sitting right there under my nose．
Eventually，though，we all finish our short prayers and dig in．To be sure，the day includes other highlights-visiting with family and watching football．But usually around 6pm we are all ourselves stuffed like turkeys and thankful to have a nice warm bed to sleep in．
