解析:
细节题。根据第四段首句的“we’re saying we want you to work in these places”和第二句最后的“then you’re disposable”;and连接的前后两句实际是转折关系。look the other way本指“有意忽视某些不好的事情”,结合后面的“一旦国家安全被提上日程,移民工人的安危就被置之不理了”进行推测,look the other way in terms of what our laws are指“美国在劳动力紧缺时期对移民工人的非法地位睁一眼闭一眼”。同时,只有如此解释,美国在不同时期对待移民工人的不同态度才能形成鲜明对比。

CIs there someone you hate? Well, maybe you don’t really hate them. But you get really angry every time you think of them. If you don’t let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness (痛苦).Bitterness appears when we can’t forgive (原谅) someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside. Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. We may think we’re hurting that person by criticizing (指责) him or her often, but we’re really only hurting ourselves.Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our relationships with friends and family members. No one enjoys being around an angry person for very long.If you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to deal with it.l Accept itInstead of trying to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it. See your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it.l Stop making excuses for itYou may feel you have a right to be angry. You may think you’re right and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life.l Forgive and forget itYou probably can’t completely put the anger out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive the other person. Forget it and move on. You’ll enjoy better health and peace of mind.66. According to the passage, we might get angry when someone __________.A. holds us back B. forgets us C. doesn’t like us D. does hurt us

ESunday is more like Monday than it used to be, Places of business that used to keep daytime “business hours” are now open late into the night. And on the Internet, the hour of the day and the day of the week have become irrelevant (不相关的).A half century ago in the United States, most people experienced strong and precise dividing lines between days of rest and days of work, school time and summer time. Today the boundaries still exist, but they seem not clear.The law in almost all states used to require stores to close on Sunday; in most, it no longer does, It used to keep the schools open in all seasons except summer, in most, it still does. And whether the work week should strengthen its legal limits, or whether it should become more “flexible,” is often debated. How should we, as a society, organize our time? Should we go even further in relaxing the boundaries of time until we live in a world in which every minute is much like every other?These are not easy questions even to ask. Part of the difficulty is that we rarely recognize the “law of time” even when we meet it face to face. We know as children that we have to attend school a certain number of hours, a certain number of days, a certain number of years – but unless we meet the truant officer (学监) ,we may well think that we should go to school due to social custom and parents’ demand rather than to the law. As adults we are familiar with “extra pay for overtime working,” but less familiar with the fact that what constitutes(构成) “overtime” is a matter of legal definition. When we turn the clock forward to start daylight – saving time, have we ever thought to ourselves: “Here is the law in action”? As we shall see, there is a lot of law that has great influence on how organize and use time: compulsory education law, overtime law, and daylight – saving law- as well as law about Sunday closing, holidays, being late to work, time zones, and so on. Once we begin to look for it, we will have no trouble finding a law of time to examine and assess.67. By saying” Sunday is more like Monday than it used to be,” the writer means that __________.A. work time is equal to rest timeB. many people have a day off on Monday,C. it is hard for people to decide when to restD. the line between work time and rest time is unclear

Passage TwoWhen we see well, we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we realize how important our eyes are.People who are nearsighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Everything else is not so clear. Many people who do a lot of close work, such as writing, reading and sewing, become near sighted. Then they have to wear glasses in order to see distant (远处的) things clearly'.People who are nearsighted suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty in reading a book unless they hold it at arm's length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses, too.Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. They have what is called astigmatism (散光). This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people's eyes become cloudy because of cataracts (白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.Having two good eyes is important for judging distances. Each eye sees things from a slightly different angle (角度). To prove this to yourself, look at an object out of one eye; then look at the same object outof the other eye. You will find the object's relation to the background (背景) and other things around it has changed. The difference between these two different eye views helps us to judge how far away an object is. People who have only one eye cannot judge distance as people with two eyes.40. We should take good care of our eyes ______.A. only when we cannot see perfectlyB. only when we can see wellC. even if we can see wellD. only when we realize how important our eyes are

Everything we do is about your bu an agreement of payment. However, exporters and importers usually meet each other half-way and agree to payment by a Letter of Credit. A letter of credit (L/C) is a banker’s guarantee that payment will be made, if all the required shipping documents are presented. * In this way, exporters receive a guarantee not only from importers, but also from a bank. * On ________. We’re flexible, adaptable and innovative. Everything we do is about your buhand, importers are given the guarantee that the bank will not make payment unless all the shipping documents are presented. Nevertheless, the exporter can further require an ________letter of credit. That means the guarantee of payment cannot be cancelled either by the opening bank or the importer.

DWhen students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance, the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important. Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment, but certainly not an education priority(优先). This view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students.Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it reflects their thinking and values, as well ad the social environment it came influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as a society.Music provides a kind of perception(感知)that cannot be acquired any other way. Science can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotive(情感的)meaning of the same phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings “talk” to each other. They are the language of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our hungers, our discoveries, our hopes. The arts are ways we give form. to our ideas and imagination so that they can be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an important way we express human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love.So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.A.regardmusicasawayofentertainmentB.disagreewiththeirparentsoneducationC.viewmusicasanoverlookedsubjectD.prefertheartstoscience

Part B [A] Analyzing your own taste[B] Being cautious when experimenting[C] Finding a model to follow[D] Getting the final look absolutely right[E] Learning to be realistic[F] Making regular conscious choicesWhen we meet people for the first time, we often make decisions about them based entirely on how they look.And, of course it’s something that works both ways, for we too are being judged on our appearance.When we look good, we feel good, which in turn leads to a more confident and self-assured manner. People then pick up on this confidence and respond positively towards us,Undoubtedly, it's what's inside that's important, but sometimeswe can send out the wrong signals simply by wearing inappropriate clothing or not spending enough time thinking about how others see us.41___________For example, people often make the mistake of trying to look like someone else they’ve seen in a magazine, but this is usually a disaster as we all have our own characteristics.Stand in front of a fulllength mirror and be honest with yourself about what you see.There is no need to dwell on your faults—we all have good points and bad points—but think instead about the best way to emphasize the good ones.42___________When selecting your clothes each day, think about who you’re likely to meet, where you’re going to be spending most of your time and what tasks you are likely to perform. Clearly,some outfits will be more appropriate to different sorts of activityand this will dictate your choice to an extent. However, there’s no need to abandon your individual taste completely. After all,if you dress to please somebody else’s idea of what looks good, you may end up feeling uncomfortable and not quite yourself.43___________But to know your own mind, you have to get to know yourself.What do you truly feel good in? There are probably a few favourite items that you wear a lot—most people wear 20 per cent of their wardrobe 80 per cent of the time.Look at these clothes and ask yourself what they have in common.Are they neat and tidy, loose and flowing? Then look at the things hanging in your wardrobe that you don’t wear and ask yourself why.Go through a few magazines and catalogues and mark the things that catch your eye. Is there a common theme?44___________Some colors bring your natural colouring to life and others can give us a washed-out appearance. Try out new colours by all means,but remember that dressing in bright colours when you really like subtle neutral tones,or vice versa, will make you feel selfconscious and uncomfortable.You know deep down where your own taste boundaries lie. And although it’s good to challenge those sometimes with new combinations or shades,take care not to go too far all at once.45___________So, you’ve chosen an outfit that matches your style,your personality, your shape and your colouring. But does it fit? If something is too tight or too loose,you won’t achieve the desired effect, and no matter what other qualities it has, it won’t improve your appearance or your confidence. Sometimes,we buy things without thinking. Some people who dislike shopping grab the first thing they see,or prefer to use mail-order or the Internet. In all cases, if it doesn’t fit perfectly, don’t buy it, because the finer details are just as important as the overall style.Reappraising your image isn’t selfish because everyone who comes into contact with you will benefit. You’ll look better and you’ll feel a better person all round. And if in doubt, you only need to read Professor Albert Mehrabian’s book Silent Messages to remind yourself how important outward appearances are.His research showed that the impact we make on each other depend 55 per cent on how we look and behave,38 per cent on how we speak and only 7 per cent on what we actually say.So, whatever stage you are at in your life, whatever role you play, isn’t it time you made the most of yourself?第41题:

共用题干How We Form First Impression1 We all have first impression of someone we just met.But why?Why do we form an opinion about someone without really knowing anything about him or her-aside perhaps from a few remarks or readily observable traits.2 The answer is related to how your brain allows you to be aware of the world.Your brain is so sensitive in picking up facial traits,even very minor difference in how a person's eyes,ears,nose,or mouth are placed in relation to each other makes you see him or her as different.In fact,your brain continuously processes incoming sensory information-the sights and sounds of your world.These incoming"signals"are compared against a host of"memories"stored in the brain areas called the cortex system to determine what these new signals"mean".3 if you see someone you know and like at school,your brain says"familiar and safe".If you see someone new,it says,"new-potentially threatening".Then your brain starts to match features of this stranger with other "known" memories.The height,weight,dress,ethnicity,gestures,and tone of voice are all matched up.The more unfamiliar the characteristics are,the more your brain may say,"This is new.I don't like this person".Or else, "I'm intrigued".Or your brain may perceive a new face but familiar clothes,ethnicity,gestures-like your other Friends;so your brain says,"I like this person".But these preliminary"impressions"can be dead wrong.4 When we stereotype people,we use a less mature form of thinking(not unlike the immature thinking of a very young child)that makes simplistic and categorical impressions of others.Rather than learn about the depth and breadth of people-their history,interest,values,strengths,and true character-we categorize them as jocks,geeks,or freaks.5 However,if we resist initial stereotypical impressions,we have a chance to be aware of what a person is truly like.If we spend time with a person,hear about his or her life,hopes,dreams,and become aware of the person's character,we use a different,more mature style of thinking-and the most complex areas of our cortex,which allow us to be humane.The way we stereotype people is a less mature form of thinking,which is similar to______.A:a stranger's less mature type of thinkingB:the most complex areas of our cortexC:the immature form of,thinking of a very young childD:the meaning of incoming sensory informationE:the sights and sounds of the worldF:an opportunity to analyze different forms of thinking
