The bus ride was bumpy and the kids were a little noisy, but still Miss Joan was smiling. The bus stopped in front of the GreenlyApple Orchard and the class got off quickly and quietly. Miss Joan made sure everyone was there. "What a glorious, sunny, apple picking day," Miss Joan announced with her grandest smile. Mr. Greenly was there to greet them. "Let’s see, there are eighteen children and two adults at three dollars each. That will be sixty dollars, please." Miss Joan held up the brochure in her hanD、"It says that the price is two dollars each," she pointed out. "That’s what I collected from everyone." "We’ve had to raise the price," Mr. Greenly stateD、 "You sent me this brochure after we made our reservation," Miss Joan complained, "and it says two dollars!" "Miss Joan, if you look at the bottom of this brochure," Mr. Greenly said, "you’ll notice very important statement."

Miss Joan was determined to keep her good mooD、She took a twenty dollars bill out of her own purse and handed it to Mr. Greenly with the forty dollars she had in an envelope."Now children, do you all have your baskets " Miss Joan called out.

| 第3题：{{B}}Passage Two{{/B}} Few would argue with Ford’s statement.A、brief glimpse at a daffy newspaper vividly shows how much people in the United States think about business. For example, nearly every newspaper has a business section, in which the deals and projects, finances and management, stock prices and labor problems of corporations are reported daily. In addition, business news can appear in every other section. Most national news has an important financial aspect to it. Welfare, foreign aid, the federal budget, and the policies of the Federal ReserveBank are all heavily affected by business. Moreover, business news appears in some of the unlikeliest places. The world of arts and entertainment is often referred to as "the entertainment industry" or "show business". The positive side of Henry Ford’s statement can be seen in the prosperity that business has brought to U.S. life. One of the most important reasons so many people from all over the world come to live in the United States is the dream of a better joB、Jobs are produced in abundance because the U.S. economic system is driven by competition. People believe that this system creates more wealth, more jobs, and a materially better way of life. The negative side of Henry Ford’s statement, however, can be seen when the word business is taken to mean big business.And the term big business—referring to the biggest companies—is seen in opposition to labor. Throughout U.S. history working people have had to fight hard for higher wages, better working conditions, and the fight to form unions. Today, many of the old labor disputes are over, but there is still some employee anxiety.Downsizing—the driving away of thousands of workers to keep expenses low and profits high—creates feelings of insecurity for many. |

| 第5题： {{B}}Passage One{{/B}} Among the big issues being addressed by these researchers are understanding the terrorists’ weapons, assessing the full impact of terrorism—and, crucially, working out which psychological approaches actually work. It’s a deeply controversial areA、 Take the work ofDennisEmbry as an example. He argues that we have overlooked the obvious: the purpose of terrorism is to create terror. This works best "if the very symbols of everyday life become conditioned fear and anxiety stimulant". The top targets will be the most symbolic of a nation’s daily life, preferably served up for prime-time television.Crashing planes from United andAmericanAirlines into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon met those objectives all too perfectly.After the attacks, people stopped flying. Why Not because they had made a rational risk assessment but because the mere thought of flying made their palms sweat. From terrorism to rail crashes, counseling and "debriefing" (盘问) are the standard response to help those caught up in disasters.But there are growing doubts about their effectiveness. What might be going wrongDebriefing focuses on getting people to talk through the trauma (损伤) and its emotional consequences soon after the incident.Could it be that some people are better by distancing themselves from what happened, rather than retelling it If disaster psychologists want to find better ways to help, they’ll have to win the race between our understanding of human psychology and the terrorists’. |
