1、Shopping at Second - hａｎｄ　Clothing StoresWhen 33 years old Pete Barth was in college, shopping at second - hａｎｄ　clothing stores was just something he did－"like changing the tires on his car." He looked at his budget ａｎｄ　decided he could save a lot of money by shopping fｏｒclothes at thrift shops."Even new clothes are fairly disposable (用后即丢掉的) ａｎｄ　wear out after a couple of years," Barth said. "In thrift shops, you can find some great stuff whose quality is better than new clothes."Since then, Barth, who works at a Goodwill thrift shop in the US state of Florida, has found that there are all kinds of reasons fｏｒshopping fｏｒsecond - hａｎｄ　clothing. Some people, like him, shop to save money. Some shop fｏｒa crazy - looking shirt. ａｎｄ　some shop as a means of conserving energy ａｎｄ　helping the environment.Pat Akins, an accountant at a Florida Salvation Army (SA) (救世军) thrift shop, said that, fｏｒher, shopping at thrift shops is a way to help the environment."When my daughter was little, we looked at it as recycling," Akins said: "Also, why pay 30 dollars fｏｒa new coat when you can get another one fｏｒa lot less?"Akins said that the SA has shops all over the US－"some as big as department stores". All of the clothes are donated (捐赠), ａｎｄ　when they have a surplus (盈余), they\'ll have "stuff a bag" specials, where customers can fill a grocery sack with clothes fｏｒonly 5 ｏｒ10 dollars.Julia Stocum, 22, points out, however, that the huge amount of second - hａｎｄ　clothing in the US is the result of American wastefulness."I\'d say that second - hａｎｄ　stores are the result of our wasteful, materialistic culture," said Slocum, who works fｏｒa pro - conservation organization, the center of a New American Dream. "Thrift shops prevent waste from going to landfills (垃圾填埋场), They give clothing a second life ａｎｄ　provide cheaper clothing fｏｒthose who can\'t afford to buy new ones ａｎｄ　generate (创造) income fｏｒcharities. They also provide a way fｏｒthe wealthy ａｎｄ　middle classes to shed (摆脱) the guilt fｏｒtheir level of consumption."Thrift shops can do everything EXCEPT ____【单选题】

A.give clothing a second life.

B.generate income fｏｒcharities.

C.provide cheaper clothes fｏｒthe poor.

D.stop rich people from wasting money.

正确答案:D

答案解析:本题有一定难度，需要认真阅读文章，答案依据在文章最后一段。最后一段谈到，旧货店给了服装二次生命，给那些买不起新衣服的人提供便宜衣服，还把一些收入捐给慈善机构，但没有提到阻止富人浪费钱，所以答案是D。

2、Three Ways to Become More CreativeMost people believe they don\'t have much imagination. They are wrong. Everyone has imagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to access it. Creativity isn\'t always connected with great works of art ｏｒideas. People at work ａｎｄ　in their free time routinely think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a tricky question to answer ｏｒyou just want to expａｎｄ　your mind! There are three techniques to help you.This technique involves taking unrelated ideas ａｎｄ　trying to find links between them. First, think about the problem you have to solve ｏｒthe job you need to do. Then find an image, word, idea ｏｒobject, fｏｒexample, a candle. Write down all the ideas/words associated with candles, light, fire, matches, wax, night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the ideas to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy a friend an original present; you could buy him tickets to a match ｏｒtake him out fｏｒthe night. Imagine that normal limitations don\'t exist. You have as much time/space/money, etc. as you want. Think about your goal ａｎｄ　the new possibilities. If, fｏｒexample, your goal is to learn to ski (滑雪), you can now practice skiing every day of your life (because you have the time ａｎｄ　the money). Now adapt this to reality. Maybe you can practice skiing every day in December, ｏｒevery Monday in January.Look at the situation from a different point of view. Good negotiators (谈判者) use this technique in business, ａｎｄ　so do writers. Fiction writers often imagine they are the characters in their books. They ask questions: what does this character want? Why can\'t she get it? What changes must she make to get what she wants? What does she dream about? If your goal involves other people, put yourself "in their shoes". The best fishermen think they are the fish!According to the passage, when we become adults ____.【单选题】

A.we can still learn to be more creative

B.most of us are no longer creative

C.we are not as imaginative as children

D.we are unwilling to be creative

正确答案:A

答案解析:本题难度不大，不要先看选项，吃透题干意思，回到原文定位，答案就在文章开头：Most people believe they don\'t have much imagination. They are wrong. Everyone has imagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to access it. 句意不难理解，选项里creative替换了原文的imagination，最佳答案是A。

3、Human Space ExplorationWhile scientists are searching the cause of the Columbia disaster, NASA is moving ahead with plans to develop a new craft that would replace shuttles(航天飞机) on space station missions by2012 ａｎｄ　respond quickly to space station emergencies.The space agency released the first ｓｅｔof mission needs ａｎｄ　requirements several days ago fｏｒme orbital space plane (轨道航天飞机), which would be designed to transport a crew of four to ａｎｄ　from the International Space Station.Although it includes few specifics, the plan states the orbiter(轨道航天飞机) will be safer cheaper ａｎｄ　require less preparation time than the shuttle. It would be able to transport four crew members by 2012 though it would be available fｏｒrescue missions by 2010. NASA says the craft should be able to transport injured ｏｒill space station crew members to "definitive(决定性的) medical care" within 24 hours.The release of the requirements showed NASA remains focused on the long-term priorities of space exploration, even as questions exist concerning the loss of Columbia ａｎｄ　its seven member crew on February l, 2003.Expels at Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, have been working fｏｒyears on a successｏｒto the shuttle. The project, known as the Space Launch Initiative (倡议), was divided last year into two parts----one focusing on a future launch vehicle, the other on a space station orbiter. The orbiter is expected to be ready sooner.The program\'s managers say NASA officials have told them not to ａｌｔｅｒSpace Launch Initiative in light of the Columbia disaster.U. S. President George W. Bush asked Congress fｏｒabout US$1 billion fｏｒSpace Launch Initiative in 2004, funds that would be almost equally split between the Orbital Space Plane ａｎｄ　Next Generation Launch Technology.The design of the orbiter indicates ____ .【单选题】

A.NASA\'s determination to continue space exploration

B.NASA\'s disadvantage in space technology

C.the great pressure from Congress on NASA

D.a heavy defeat fｏｒNASA

正确答案:A

答案解析:此题问的是设计这架航天飞机表明了什么？选项A的意思是“NASA继续探索太空的决心”。其他几个选项的意思均与原文不符，所以A为答案。

4、CultureCulture is one of the most challenging elements of the international marketplace. This system of learned behaviｏｒpatterns characteristic of the members of a shaped by a ｓｅｔof dynamic variables: language, religion, values ａｎｄ　attitudes, manners ａｎｄ　customs, aesthetics, technology, education, ａｎｄ　social institutions. To cope with this system, an international manager needs both factual ａｎｄ　interpretive knowledge of culture. To some extent, the factual knowledge can be learned; its interpretation comes only through experience.The most complicated problems in dealing with the cultural environment stem from the fact that one cannot learn culture one has to live it. Two schools of thought exist in the business world on how to deal with cultural diversity. One is that business is business the world around, following the model of Pepsi ａｎｄ　McDonald\'s. In some cases, globalization is a fact of life; however, cultural differences are still far from converging.The other school proposes that companies must tailｏｒbusiness approaches to individual cultures. Setting up policies ａｎｄ　procedures in each country has been compared to an organ transplant; the critical question centers around acceptance ｏｒrejection. The majｏｒchallenge to the international manager is to make sure that rejection is not a result of cultural myopia ｏｒeven blindness.Fortune examined the international performance of a dozen large companies that earn 20 percent ｏｒoverseas. The internationally successful companies all share an important quality: patience. They have not rushed into situations but rather built their operations carefully by following the most basic business principles. These principles are to know your adversary, know your audience, ａｎｄ　know your customer.According to Fortune, successful international companies ____.【单选题】

A.earn 20 percent ｏｒ overseas

B.all have the quality of patience

C.will follow the overseas local cultures

D.adopt the policy of internationalization

正确答案:B

答案解析:意为“都具有耐心这一素质”。公司的海外收入都占总收入的20%或以上。它们也不一定全都接纳海外的当地文化，或是采纳国际化策略。

5、Indian\'s NamesEach Indian was supposed to keep his birth name until he was old enough to earn one fｏｒhimself. But his playmates would always give him a name of their own. No matter what his parents called him, his childhood friends would use the name they had chosen. Often it was not pleasing, such as Bow Legs ｏｒBad Boy. But sometimes a name fit so well that the youngster found it difficult to shake it off. If he could not earn a better one from a war later, he could be stuck with a name like Bow Legs fｏｒthe rest of his life.The Indian earned his real name when he was old enough fｏｒhis first fight against the enemy. His life name depended on how he acted during this first battle. When he returned from the war, the whole tribe would gather ａｎｄ　observe the ceremony in which he would be given his name by the chief. If he had done well, he would get a good name. Otherwise he might be called Crazy Wolf ｏｒMan-Afraid-of-a Horse. So an Indian\'s name told his record ｏｒdescribed the kind of man he was.A man was given many chances to improve his name, however, if in a later battle he was brave in fighting against the enemy, he was given a better name. Some of our great fighters had as many as twelve names, all good ａｎｄ　each better than the last.An Indian\'s names belonged to him fｏｒthe rest of his life. No one else could use them. Even he himself could not give them away because names were assigned by the tribe, not the family. So no man could pass on his name unless the chief ａｎｄ　the tribe asked him to do so.Sometimes an Indian would be asked to give his name to a son who had performed a noticeable deed. I know of only three ｏｒfour times when this happened. It is the rarest honｏｒfｏｒa person -the honｏｒof assuming his father\'s name.An Indian could be given the second name by____.【单选题】

A.his father

B.the enemy

C.the chief of the tribe

D.his childhood friends

正确答案:D

答案解析:birth name是出生时就取的，而且应该保留直到大了以后可以自己赢得一个名字。但是儿时的玩伴会给他一个a name of their own，因此选D。
