Today computer, copier and printer technology is so __16__ that almost anyone can “make” money. With the new technology there is a new kind of casual faking machine. The number of bills made by casual fakers on their home or office computer is growing fast. In fact, this number has doubled every year since 1989! There is no way to __17__ faking completely. But the government has recently found a few ways to make casual faking very __18__. One way is to put very, very small words, called microprints (微型印刷), in __19__ places on the bill. The words are only 6/1000 inch. No one can read them __20__ a magnifying glass（放大镜）, and they are too small to come out __21__ on a copier. If someone copies a bill that has microprints, the microprinted words on the bill will only be black lines. Another way to stop people from making fake money on their home computer is to use special color-changing ink. Money printed with color-changing ink will look green from one __22__ and yellow from __23__. Home computers cannot use color-changing ink. Copies from a home computer only have normal ink and that can be __24__ quite easily. __25__, money is made on special paper with very small pieces of red and blue silk mixed in. And on each bill there is a special line that __26__ from the top to the bottom of the bill. The blue turns red if you put it under a special __27__. This line and the special paper with red and blue silk are not easy for home computers to __28__. The government must try many different ways to stop faking. It needs to keep __29__ the way money is made because fakers can learn to copy the __30__. Today copiers can’t copy microprinted words or color-changing ink. But, in a few years, who knows? 16. A. perfect B. advanced C. new D. unthinkable 17. A. start B. continue C. stop D. resist 18. A. simple B. reluctant C. difficult D. surprising 19. A. hidden B. obvious C. correct D. various 20.

Perhaps 34 ought to combine our ideas and provide a balanced menu 35 food full of energy and fiber.” So that is what they did. They served raw vegetables with the hamburgers and boiled the potatoes rather than 36_______(fry) them. They served fresh fruit with the ice cream. In this way they cut down the fat and increased the fibre in the meal. Their balanced diets became such a success 37____________before long Wang Peng became 38________(slim) and Yong Hui put on more 39________(weigh). After some time the two found that their business cooperation had turned into 40____________ personal one. Finally they got married and lived happily ever after. III. 阅读（共两节，满分50分） 第一节 阅读理解 (共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卷上将该项涂黑。 A There are only 24 hours in a day，but people can use the time wisely. In other words，effective time management is important if you want to succeed. Knowing the importance of daily matters is the first step towards good time management. Write down the things that you want to do and organize them according to their level of importance. The important thing should be done first. If there are too many things that have to be done in one day, then you have to give up doing something that is less important on your list. Besides this，you need to spend a specific (特定的) amount of time doing all the activities you have written down and make sure you finish them on time. People often slow down in their work even though they know that time will never wait for them. Make sure you keep to your plan and finish the tasks one by one. Do not try to do too many things at once. Also，you can group similar activities together and do them one by one. For example, you can group all the tasks you need to do in the office together and do them while you're in office. Do all the tasks that have to be done in one place first, and then move to the next place to do the other tasks. “The bad news is that time flies. The good news is that you're the pilot,”said Michael Althsuler. Your future is in your hands，so remember to invest your time wisely from today on. 41. Which of the following things should be done first? A. The most difficult things B. The most important things C. The things that weren't done yesterday D. The things that take the least time 42. Which of the steps below is NOT important for effective time management? A. Do all the tasks that need to be done in one place together B. Write down daily tasks that need to be done C. Do as many tasks as you can at the same time D. Understand and know the importance of daily matters 43. The author quoted (引用) the words by Althsuler to say that ________. A. you can manage your time wisely B. you can't control time C. time passes quickly D. everything has two sides 44. Which of the following ideas would the author agree with? A. Never give up doing the least important things B. Successful people can make a day last longer than 24 hours C. Writing down daily tasks is the first step towards success D. Effective time management can help one to succeed 45. The text is mainly about ________. A. the importance of time management B. ways to manage time effectively C. ways to organize daily activities D. the importance of doing tasks on time B I know what you’re thinking: pizza? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night’s leftovers in the morning if you want to. I know lots of women who skip breakfast, and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it. Some say they don’t have time, others think they’re saving calories, still others just don’t like breakfast food. But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you’re trying to lose weight. “Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all,” says Katherine Brooking, R.D. , who developed the super-easy eating plan for this year’s “SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza can be healthy if it’s loaded with vegetables, and you stick to one small piece. Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers at the University of Southern California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal. So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night’s leftovers --- it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow,” I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it … you may save yourself some pre-bed-time calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects. 46 The word “leftovers” in Paragraph 1 probably means _______. A. food which is left after a meal B. things left undone C. meals made of vegetables D. pizza topped with fruit 47. What can we infer from the passage? A. Working women usually have breakfast in a hurry. B. Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast. C. There are some easy ways of cooking a meal. D. Eating vegetables helps save energy. 48. According to the last paragraph, it is important to _______. A. eat something for breakfast B. be careful about what you eat C. heat up food before eating it D. eat calorie-controlled food 49. The passage is written mainly for those _______. A. who go to work early B. who want to lose weight C. who stay up late D. who eat before sleep 50. Which of the following statements is true? A. Skipping breakfast can help you lose weight. B. The author always has leftovers for breakfast. C. Not eating breakfast can save you 300 to 400 calories. D. Some women believe that they can save calories by skipping breakfast. C The iPhone, the iPad, each of Apple’s products sounds cool and has become a fashion. Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i” – and many other brands are following suit. The BBC’s iPlayer – which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet—adopted the title in 2008. A lovely bear – popular in the US and UK – that plays music and video is called “iTeddy”. A slimmed down version of London’s Independent newspaper was launched last week under the name “i”. In general, single-letter prefixes have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use. Most “i” products are targeted at young people and considering the major readers of Independent “i”, it’s no surprise that they’ve selected this fashionable name. But it’s hard to see what’s so special about the letter “i”. Why not use “a”, “b”, or “c”? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at King’s College, London, “i” works because its meaning has become ambiguous. When Apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, individual or interactive, Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even when Apple created the iPad, it seems it didn’t have one clear definition.” He says. “However, thanks to Apple, the term is now associated with portability(轻便).” Adds Thorne. Clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and they love personalized products for this reason. Along with “Google” and “blog”, readers of BBC Magazines voted “i” as one of the top 20 words that have come to define the last decade. But as history shows, people grow tired of fashion. From the 1900s to 1990s, products with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was associated with all things advanced and modern. However, as we entered the new century, the trend disappeared. 51. People use iPlayer to _______. A. listen to music B. make a call C. read newspapers D. watch TV programs online 52. We can infer that the Independent “i” is aimed at _________. A. fashionable women B. old readers C. young readers D. engineers 53. The underlined word “ambiguous” in Paragraph 4 means _______. A. popular B.uncertain C. definite D. unique 54. The writer suggests that _____. A. the popularity of “i” products may not last long B. iTeddy is a live bear C. the letter “b” replaces letter “i” to name the products D. “i” products are often of high quality 55. Nowadays, the “i” term often reminds people of the products which are __________. A. portable B. environmentally friendly C. advanced D. recyclable D After her husband had gone to work, Mrs Richards send her children to school and went upstairs to her bedroom. She was too excited to do any housework that morning. In the evening she would go to a fancy dress party with her husband. She wanted to dress up as a ghost and as she had made her costume the night before, she was impatient to try it on. Though the costume consisted only of a sheet, it was really splendid. After putting it on, She went downstairs to find out whether it would be comfortable to wear.  Just as Mrs Richards was entering the dining-room, there was a knock on the front door.

Not wanting to frighten the poor man, she quickly hid in the small store-room under the stair. She heard the front door opened and heavy footsteps in the hall. Suddenly the door of the store-room was opened and in came a man. Mrs Richards realized it must be the man from the Electricity Board who had come to read the meter. She tried to explain the situation, saying “It’s only me. ”but it was too late, the man let out a cry and jumped back several paces. When Mrs Richards walked towards him, he fled, losing the door heavily behind him. 56. The reason for Mrs Richards’ excitement that day was that____.
