—Yes, it does. I'm going to have it ______ tomorrow.
A．to wash; washing           B．washing; washed
C．to wash; washed             D．washing; washing

34．A story goes that Elizabeth I of England liked nothing more than ______ by clever and qualified noblemen at court.
A．being surrounded           B．surrounded
C．having surrounded                D．surrounding
解析：句意为：据说英国的伊丽莎白一世只喜欢在宫廷里被那些聪明的有身份的贵族簇拥着。nothing more than 后跟名词或 ­ing 形式。surround 与从句主语 Elizabeth I为动宾关系，故应为­ing 形式的被动式。
答案：A
35．Yesterday I got there on time. But ______ your advice, I ______ caught in the traffic jam.
A．because; would have
B．for; would have been
C．for; was
D．due to; would have been
解析：句意为：昨天我按时到达那里，要不是因为你的建议，我会遇上交通堵塞的。but for 要不是；because 引导原因状语从句；due to 因为。由 Yesterday I got there on time 可知，后一句所说内容并没有变成现实，故应使用虚拟语气。would have done 可表示与过去事实相反的假设。

答案及解析
本文是夹叙夹议文。作者小时候看到邻居Dr Gibbs种树从来不浇水感到纳闷。医生告诉他，如果浇水会把树惯坏；如果不浇水，树会扎根很深去获取水分。作者有了自己的孩子以后，受到医生的启示，不再总是为孩子们祈祷生活舒适、安逸，而祈祷他们能像大树一样，把根深深地扎在泥土中，从而能够经得起风雨的考验。
36．A。由下文的叙述可知医生脾气好，从来不对孩子们大喊大叫。yell at sb“对某人大喊大叫”。
37．C。由于医生脾气好，所以作者的记忆里他比任何人都好。
38．B。医生的职责当然是治病救人。
39．B。从下文看医生关于栽树有自己有趣的理论。behaviors“行为”。
40．D。从下文医生的解释看，医生从来不给树浇水。
41．C。如果给树浇水会惯坏它们。spoil sb当“惯坏某人”讲。
42．A。如果浇水会使树的下一代变得越来越娇弱。stem“茎、干”。
43．B。应该给树以艰苦的生长条件，从而淘汰瘦弱的树。
44．D。给树浇水会使树根扎得很浅。fertilize“使肥沃”。
45．C。如果不给树浇水，树根就会扎得深，这样才能吸收到水分。
46．D。表示作者在医生死后，经常去看医生原来所栽的树。every now and again＝every now and then“不时、经常”。once more“又一次”，in no time“立即、很快”，after that“在那之后”。
47．C。第二、三段中有说明，作者看着医生栽树。
48．D。磨难不仅没有损害树的生长，反而对它们有益。

50．A。由下一句可知作者经常为孩子们祈祷。
51．D。作者受到医生的启发决定改变自己的祈祷。
52．B。他不再为孩子们祈祷舒适。ease是名词，当“安逸、舒适”讲。
53．A。祈祷舒适往往达不到预期。meet当“达到……要求、标准”讲。arise“出现”，echo“发出回声”。
54．C。此处表示树根深深扎在泥土中。reach的意思是“延伸”，extend“扩展”。55．D。此处表示不会被风刮走、被雨冲走。sweep sth.away表示“把……吹走、把……刮走”，或“横扫”。

The relationship between students and teachers is less formal in the USA than in many other countries, especially in colleges. American college students do not stand up when their teacher enters the room. Students are encouraged to ask questions during the class, to ask for teaching in the professor's office, and to phone if they're absent and need an assignment(作业). Most teachers permit students to enter class late or leave early, if necessary. However, students are still expected to be polite and considerate(体谅的)of their teachers and fellow classmates. When students want to ask questions, they usually raise a hand and wait to be called on. But if a professor is giving a formal lecture, it is wrong to interrupt with a question. When the teacher or a student is speaking to the class, it's rude to be whispering to another classmate. When a test is being given, talking to a classmate is rude. Most American teachers think that students who are talking to each other during a test are cheating.

Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.
In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all － one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees; they refuse to do what they think “low” work; and, in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor; we can live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns...
In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that is very bad to be ashamed of one's work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.
68. The writer of the passage thinks that ______.
A. education can settle most of the world's problems
B. free education for all probably leads to a perfect world
C. free education won't help to solve problems
D. all the social problems can't be solved by education
69. The writer wants to prove that ______.
A. our society needs all kinds of jobs
B. our society needs free education for all
C. a farmer is more important than a professor
D. work with hands is the most important
70. The purpose of education is ______.
A. to choose officials for the country
B. to prepare children mainly for their future work
C. to let everyone receive education fit for him
D. to build a perfect world
71. The passage tells us about ______ of the education.
A. the means                B. the system  C. the value          D. the type
答案及解析：
本文论述了我们的教育目的就是要使孩子适应社会生活。
68. D。判断题。根据文章第二段第二句free education for all is not enough可推知此题答案为D。
69. A。观点判断题。根据文章最后一段第二点that all jobs are necessary to society可推知此题答案为A。
70. B。细节题。根据第一段最后一句Our purpose is to fit them for life可推知此题答案为B。
71. C。主旨题。根据全文的内容，特别是根据文章的最后一句Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society可推知此题答案为C。

High－quality customer service is preached(宣扬)by many, but actually keeping customers happy is easier said than done.
Shoppers seldom complain to the manager or owner of a retail store(零售店)，but instead will warn their friends，relatives，co－workers，strangers and anyone who will listen.
Store managers are often the last to hear complaints，and often find out only when their regular customers decide to go often to their competitors，according to a study jointly conducted by Verde Group and Wharton School.
“Storytelling hurts retailers and entertains consumers，”said Paula Courtney，President of the Verde Group.“The store loses the customer, but the shopper must also find a replacement.”
On average，every unhappy customer will complain to at least four others，and will no longer visit the specific store.For every dissatisfied customer，a store will lose up to three more due to negative reviews.The resulting “snowball effect”can be very harmful to retailers.
According to the research，shoppers who purchased clothing encountered the most problems.Ranked second and third were grocery and electronics customers.
During peak shopping hours，some retailers solved the parking problems by getting part－time local police to work as parking attendants (服务员)．Some hired flag wavers to direct customers to empty parking spaces.
Retailers can relieve the headaches by redesigning store layouts(布局)，pre－stocking sales items，hiring speedy and experienced cashiers，and having sales representatives on hand to answer questions.
Most importantly，salespeople should be flexible and polite with angry customers.
“Retailers who're responsive and friendly are more likely to smooth over(缓解)issues than those who aren't so friendly，” said professor Stephen Hoch.“Maybe something as simple as a greeter at the store entrance would help.”
Customers can also improve future shopping experiences by complaining to the retailer，instead of complaining to the rest of the world. Retailers are finding it difficult to improve when they have no idea what is wrong.
72．Why are store managers often the last to hear complaints?
A．Most customers won't bother to complain even if they have had unhappy experiences.B．Customers would rather tell their unhappy experiences to people around them.
C．Few customers believe the service will be improved.
D．Customers have no easy access to store managers.
73．Shop owners often hire part－time police as parking attendants so that ______.
A．shoppers can stay longer in the store
B．shoppers won't have trouble parking their cars
C．shoppers won't have any worries about security
D．shoppers can find their cars casily after shopping
74．What contributes most to smoothing over issues with customers?
A．Manners of the salespeople.
B．Hiring of efficient employees.
C．Huge supply of goods for sale.
D．Design of store layout.
75．To achieve better shopping experiences，customers are advised to______ .
A．bring pressure to bear on stores to improve their service
B．settle their questions with stores in a flexible way
C．express their dissatisfaction to store managers directly
D．shop around and make comparisons between stores
答案及解析：
72 .B。从第二段可知答案。
73． B。从第七段第一句During peak shopping hours，some retailers solved the parking problems by getting part－time local police to work as parking attendants(服务员)．可知答案。
74．A。从文章倒数第三段并结合倒数第四段可知答案。
75．C。从文章最后一段第句Customers can also improve future shopping experiences by complaining to the retailer，instead of complaining to the rest of the world可知答案。

All That Noise Is Damaging Children's Hearing
Michel become hooked on headphones in his early teens. He walked in the streets of Brooklyn day after day with his favorite music blasting directly into his ears. By his early 20s, Michel had lost much of his upper－range hearing.
The Children's Hearing Institute reports that hearing loss among children and young adults is rising in the United States, and that one third of the damage is caused by noise.
Surrounded by Noise
We live in a noisy world. Young and old alike are surrounded by sounds over which we may have little or no control: power mowers, leaf blowers, snow blowers, cars and house alarms, sirens, motorcycles, Jet Skis, loudspeakers, even movie previews.
We attend rock concerts, weddings, parties and sports events at which the music is so loud you can hardly hear the person sitting next to you. At home,
televisions, stereos and computer games are often turned up so loud that listeners can not hear a doorbell or telephone. Many “modern” restaurants have chosen noise enhancement instead of abatement(减轻). Any time you need to shout to be heard by someone near you, your hearing is most likely to be in a decibel(分贝) danger zone.
As if environmental noise were not enough, now we surround children with noisy toys and personal listening devices that can permanently damage their hearing. Toys that meet the safety standards of the American Society for Testing and Materials can produce sound up to 138 decibels, as loud as a jet plane taking off. Yet workplace rules require hearing protection for those exposed to noise above 85 decibels.
Protecting Young Ears
Before buying noisemaking toys, parents would do well to listen to how loud they are. If the toy comes with a volume control, monitor its use to make sure it is kept near the lowest level. Consider returning gifts that make loud noises, disable the noise－making function. Or limit the use of noisy toys to outside play areas.
Children who play computer games and stereo equipment should be warned to keep the volume down. Time spent in video arcades, where the noise level can be over 110 decibels, should be strictly limited. Most iPods have a control that allow parents to set a maximum volume.
Don't take children to loud action movies. If you do go and the sound seems deafening, ask the manager to turn down the volume or insist on you money back. Children who play in bands and teenagers who use power tools, gardening equipment or guns should be made to wear hearing protection, available at sporting goods stores.
The League for the Hard of Hearing urges parents to encourage participation in quiet activities, like reading, watching family－oriented films, doing puzzles, making thins with construction toys, playing educational computer games, drawing and painting, and visiting librarians and museums.

Nowadays, with the growing popularity of computers, teachers, students and their parents are paying less and less attention to handwriting.
According to a recent survey, about 85.5 percent of middle school students think that their handwriting is poor. Yet for various reasons, many students don't want to improve their handwriting. 51. 5 percent of the students think that they can just use a computer, so there is no need to waste time improving their handwriting, and 32. 3 percent believe that they are so busy with the study that they do not have time to practise. 10. 9 percent think that practising handwriting is useless.
As the saying goes, writing style shows the man. Beautiful and neat handwriting is beneficial, especially for middle school students. Therefore, in my opinion, more emphasis should be placed on this aspect in future.
