    阅读下面的短文,根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的词数要求)     An American friend of mine who was high up in a big corporation had worked out a way of handling
a flood of e-mails before most of us had even heard of the concept. If any information he was sent was
vital enough, his lack of response would ensure the sender rang him up. If the sender wasn"t important
enough to have his private number, the communication couldn"t be that important, My friend is now even
more senior in the same company, so the strategy must work.    
     Almost every week now, there seems to be a report suggesting that we are all being driven crazy by
the bother of e-mail. If this is the case, it"s only because we haven"t devel-oped an appropriate
discrimination in dealing with it.      
              Firstly, you junk anything with an exclamation mark or a string of capital letters,or from any
address you don"t recognize or feel confident about.    
     Secondly, e-mails don"t all have to be answered. Because e-mailing is so easy, there"s a tendency for
correspondence to carry on for ever, but it is permissible to stop an endless dis-cussion or to accept a
point of information sent by a colleague without acknowledging it.    
     Thirdly, a reply e-mail doesn"t have to be the samelength as the original. We all have e-mail pals who
send long, chatty e-mails, which are nice to receive, but who then expect an equally long reply. Then
charm of e-mail can consist in the simple, incomplete sentence, totally regardless of the format of the
letter sent by post. You are perfectly within the bounds of politeness in responding to a marathon e-mail
with a brief reply.
     1. Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?      
The possible existence of annoyance results from our inability to sort out e-mails.      
________________________________________________________      
________________________________________________________    
2. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with a proper sentence.(within 10 words)        
______________________________________________________    
3. What advice is given in the last paragraph?  (within l0 words)        
______________________________________________________    
4. For what purpose does the author mention his American friend in Paragraph l? (within 10 words)       
 ______________________________________________________    
5. Translate the underlined sentence in the last paragraph into Chinese.        
_____________________________________________________
答案
1. If this is the case, it"s only because we haven"t developed an appropriate discrimination in dealing with it.
2. E-mail(s) can be handled in the following ways. /Here are the ways to deal  with  e-mail( s).
/Handling  e-mail(s)is an art.
3. You may reply to a long e-mail briefly. /You don"t have to write a long reply e-mail.
4. To show a way of handling e-mail(s) with an example. /To introduce the topic of the text.
5.用简短的话回复冗长的电子邮件完全不失礼节。/用简短的话回复马拉松式的电子邮件也是礼貌的。

阅读理解。      I recently turned fifty, which is young for a tree, midlife for an elephant, and ancient for a
sportsman Fifty is a nice number for the states in the US or for a national speed limit, but it is
not a number that I was prepared to have hung on me. Fifty is supposed to be my father"s age,
but now I am stuck with this number and everything it means.
      A few days ago, a friend tried to cheer me up by saying, "Fifty is what forty used to be. "He
had made an inspirational point. Am I over the hill? People keep telling me that the hill has been
moved, and I keep telling them that the high-jump bar has dropped from the six feet I once easily
cleared to the four feet that is impossible for me now.
     "You"re not getting older, you"re getting better, "says Dr. Joyce Brothers. This, however, is the
kind of doctor who inspires a second opinion.
       And so, as I approach the day when I cannot even jump over the tennis net,l am moved to
share some thoughts on aging with you. I am moved to show how aging feels to me physically and
mentally. Getting older, of course, is obviously a better change than the one that brings you eulogies
(悼词). In fact,a poet named Robert
Browning considered it the best change of all:
                       Grow old along with me!
                        The best is yet to be.
      whether or not Browning was right, most of my first fifty years have been golden ones, so I will
settle for what is ahead being as good as what has gone by. I find myself moving toward what is ahead
with a curious blend (混合) of both fighting and accepting my aging, hoping that the philosopher (哲学家) was right when he said, "Old is always fifteen years from now. "1. When the author turned fifty, people  around him_________.         A. tried to comfort him
B. got inspirations from him
C. were friendlier with him
D. found him more talkative2. The author considers his fifty years of life__________.     A. peaceful                              
B. ordinary
C. satisfactory                        
D. regretful3. We can infer from the passage that__________.  A. the old should lead a simple life
B. the old should face the fact of aging
C. the old should take more exercise
D. the old should fill themselves with curiosity

阅读理解。     Children are a secret weapon for making investment decisions. In a nod to the wisdom of
youth, many wealthy and well-educated technology investors are seeking advice and investment
tips from their children, summer interns(实习生) and twenty something receptionists.
     Unlike the formal consumer tests that focus groups at large companies, these inquiries are taking
place closer to home, with friends and family. But their impact can be broad, because investors not
only help promote the development of new ideas but also invest billions of dollars in those ideas on
behalf of investment groups and wealthy individuals.
     These investors say there is a good reason to ask young people to help them assess new technology:
as the investors themselves are aging, the technology ----including social networking websites and
mobile gadgets- is designed for, used by and sometimes built by people half their age.
     And the trend may indicate the rise of something new in the venture capital industry itself. The
investors said asking the younger people for advice would have been unheard of in the dot-boom of
the 1990s. Then, investors were engaged themselves in the very technology they were financing, ordering
books on Amazon, downloading music from Napster and buying and selling on eBay. But now, in the
so-called Web 2.0 era, investors" personal interests have strayed away from new innovation: websites
like Myspace intended to connect people, free Internet calling tools like Skype or software for mobile
phones.
     And people now in junior school and high school have spent their lives with technology. " This is the
first generation for whom the computer is a native language," said Jim Gauer, managing director of
Palomar Ventures, a Los Angeles firm. " We are all going to have to get re-educated and learn that
language."
     Or they can do what Palomar have done: hire a native speaker . Last summer, the firm had an
intern, Adam Gottesfeld, 21, who was heading into his senior year at Princeton. Mr Gottesfeld so
impressed the firm with his technological knowledge that it has offered him a job as an associate when
he graduates.                     1. What is the passage mainly about?                                          A. Investors have difficulty in making wise decisions to make money.          
B. The young will perform better than today"s investors in terms of making dec
C. Investors have turned to the young to generate new ideas and test their deci
D. Children with impressive technology knowledge can become investors themselve2. About those technology investors, which of the following statements might    A. They are falling behind present technology compared with the younger generat
B. They often conduct some consumer test in large corporations and companies.  
C. They were once the pioneers of new technology in the 1990s.                
D. They have realized the importance and potentiality of the younger generation3. We can learn from the passage that         .                              A. the younger generation has long been regarded as investment consultant.    
B. the young today are speaking a different kind of language today.          
C. the young equipped with advanced technological knowledge may find promising
D. many investors will learn from the young advanced computer technology.     4. According to the passage, we could do all the things today EXCEPT         A. communicating and connecting with people regardless of border on the Intern
B. downloading music and copyrighted books on the websites.                  
C. buying and selling goods on the Internet.                                  
D. Installing software on the mobile phones.

     Holidays are happy days with pleasure and delicious foods. Many people, however, are worried

to control your weight. The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much. You don"t have to
turn away from the foods that you enjoy. The following suggestions may be of some help to you.
     Do not miss meals. Before you leave home for a feast, have a small, low-fat snack. This may

     Begin with clear soup and fruit or vegetables. A large glass of water before you eat may help
you feel full .Use a small plate; a large plate will encourage you to have more than enough.
     Better not have high-fat foods. Dishes that look oily or creamy have much fat in them.
     Choose lean meat. Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables. If you have a sweet tooth ,
try mints (薄荷) and fruits .They don"t have fat content as cream and chocolate.

阅读理解。     "Hey, little buddy, will you support me when I"m getting old?" Han Wenshan, 35 years old, asked
his new-born baby as he picked him up at home.
     The Chinese tradition of raising sons to support parents in their old age has been weakened by the
rapidly growing economy and improved standard of living. As is the case with developed countries,
China faces an aging society. People are living longer and having fewer children. Therefore many
Chinese families are falling into a 4-2-1 family pattern: a couple raises one child and supports four
elderly parents. But few realize this problem.
     The aging of the population is a trend that now affects a growing number of countries. Not long
ago, the Information Office of the State Council, China"s cabinet, issued a white paper on measures
China is taking to help its elderly population. The paper said China"s population entered the aging
phrase at the end of the 20th century as the proportion of people aged 60 and above accounted for
over 10 percent of the entire population. By the end of 2005, China had nearly 144 million people
over 60, accounting for 11 percent of the population, according to the white paper.
     An expanding aged population inevitably means that many issues must be settled, as the problem
concerns every aspect of society. It puts more pressure on each family, causing disturbing economic
consequences and serious social problems. It also challenges the labor force supply and the pension
(养老金) system.
     "I used to think that it"s not an issue for me to provide for the aged." said Han, whose parents and
parents-in-law all enjoy pensions and medical insurance. But last year Han"s father suffered a serious
illness and afterward Han began to feel the pressure on his shoulders.1. Which of the following is not caused by an aging society?A. Unemployment                    
B. The problem of the pension system
C. Social problems.                  
D. More pressure on the family.2. From the passage we can infer ___________.A. many people haven"t realized the problem of an aging society
B. children will not support their parents in an aging society
C. the aging problem is one of the concerns for the Chinese government
D. China will encourage young couples to have more than one child3. Which of the following can be used to replace the underlined word "inevitably"?A. Surprisingly.      
B. Naturally.      
C. Hopefully.      
D. Unluckily.4. From the passage we can see that ___________.A. China is the only country to face an aging society
B. most of the developing countries face an aging society
C. countries with a large population face an aging society
D. more and more developed countries face an aging society
