Woman: Hello, Mr. Jan Erick Freedman. You’re a frequent traveler. And we also know that you eat out
twice a day. How come you’re so fond of eating out?
Man: When I got my first job back in 1982 and started travelling, I had no other choice but eat out. I found
that I felt different due to what I was eating, so I tried to find places that served food that made me feel
good. The secret was the quality of the food and how well the food was prepared. I made an effort to find
good restaurants as well as nice dishes.
Woman: How did you manage to make a list of 218 favorite restaurants?
Man: I’ve lived in many cities and when I moved back to Sweden from the United States, people asked me
where to go and eat when they went to cities I knew. I got a lot of ideas. Then I wrote about restaurants for
the Swedish club magazine and someone suggested I gather the information about the restaurants together
since I had all the facts about the restaurants I’ve been to. I started to do that.
Woman: How do you find restaurants?
Man: The best way is to ask the people there. I may talk to the people at the street market or take a walk and
look for a place for myself. I never asked a hotel clerk or a taxi driver. I don’t go empty restaurants or places
with menus too difficult to understand.

第3页 | 共22页Man: At the beginning of the tour, we’ll start with the most important place in my town, which is the Plaza
Leon. The Plaza Leon, which is more than 100 years old, is a gathering place for young people on Friday
and Saturday nights, and for parents and children on Sunday afternoons. Four streets lead to the Plaza,
which have white sidewalks and treeline. Hernandes Street, which was named after a famous writer born in
the city, contains all of the food stores, fish markets and vegetable stands. Femando Street, which was
named after an educator, is where all of the government offices are housed. Via del Mar Street, whose roads
are made of stones, is the only street which still has its old surface. Finally we come to Horatio Street on
which there are two universities, one of them is the most famous university in my country. That’s why it’s
my favorite street of all.

Jimmy is an automotive mechanic, but he lost his job a few months ago. He has a good heart, but always feared applying
for a new job.
One day, he gathered up all his strength and decided to attend a job interview. His appointment was at 10 am and it was
already 8:30. While waiting for a bus to the office where he was supposed to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man wildly
kicking the tyre of his car. Obviously there was something wrong with the car. Jimmy immediately went up to lend him a
hand. When Jimmy finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Jimmy
said there was no need to pay him; he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man
said, “Well, I could take you to the office for your interview. It’s the least I could do. Please, I insist.” Jimmy agreed.
第10页 | 共22页Upon arrival, Jimmy found a long line of applicants waiting to be interviewed. Jimmy still had some grease on him after the
car repair, but he did not have much time to wash it off or have a change of shirt. One by one, the applicants left the
interviewer’s office with disappointed look on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a
large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be interviewed?”
Jimmy’s heart sank. “With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview?” he thought to himself.
Then the interviewer turned the chair and to Jimmy’s surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned
out he was the General Manager of the company.
“Sorry I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before
you even stepped into the office. I just know you’d be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations!” Jimmy sat down and they
shared a cup of well-deserved coffee as he landed himself a new job.
56. Why did Jimmy apply for a new job?

C. He always helped people in need D. He was thankful to Jimmy
59. How did Jimmy feel on hearing the interviewer’s question?
A. He was sorry for the other applicants
B. There was no hope for him to get the job

George Gershwin, born in 1998, was one of America’s greatest composers. He published his first song when he was
eighteen years old. During the next twenty years he wrote more than five hundred songs.
Many of Gershwin’s songs were first written for musical plays performed in theatres in New York City. These plays were a
popular form of entertainment in the 1920s and 1930s. Many of his songs have remained popular as ever. Over the years
they have been sung and played in every possible way — from jazz to country.
In the 1920s there was a debate in the United States about jazz music. Could jazz, some people asked, be considered serious
music? In 1924 jazz musician and orchestra leader Paul Whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz
was serious music. Gershwin agreed to compose something for the concert before he realized he had just a few weeks to do
it. And in that short time, he composed a piece for piano and orchestra which he called Rhapsody in Blue. Gershwin
himself played the piano at the concert. The audience were thrilled when they heard his music. It made him world-famous
and showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular.
In 1928, Gershwin went to Paris. He applied to study composition (作曲)with the well-known musician Nadia Boulanger,
but she rejected him. She was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazz-influenced style. While there, Gershwin wrote
第12页 | 共22页An American in Paris. When it was first performed, critics (评论家)were divided over the music. Some called it happy and
full of life, to others it was silly and boring. But it quickly became popular in Europe and the United States. It still remains
one of his most famous works.
George Gershwin died in 1937, just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer. He was only thirty-nine years old.
Newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages. People mourned the loss of the man and all the music
he might have still written.
61. Many of Gershwin’s musical works were ________ .
A. written about New Yorkers B. Composed for Paul Whiteman
C. played mainly in the countryside D. performed in various ways
62. What do we know about the concert organized by Whiteman?
A. It attracted more people to theatres B. It proved jazz could be serious music
C. It made Gershwin leader of the orchestra D. It caused a debate among jazz musicians.
63. What did Gershwin do during his stay in Paris?
A. He created one of his best works B. He studied with Nadia Boulanger
C. He argued with French critics D. He changed his music style
64. What do we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Many of Gershwin’s works were lost
B. The death of Gershwin was widely reported
C. A concert was held in memory of Gershwin
D. Brain cancer research started after Gershwin’s death.
65. Which of the following best describes Gershwin?
A. Talented and productive B. Serious and boring
C. popular and unhappy D. Friendly and honest

You can’t always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Mikhail Belvacv doesn’t think that
forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That’s why he created
lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella.
The designer says he come up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “once, I was driving on a
central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. I thought it would be
appropriate to have a canopy(伞蓬)built into a street lamp.” he said.
The lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can
open or close the umbrella on demand. Sensors(传感器)then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it
starts raining.
In addition to the rain sensor, there’s also a 360°motion sensor on the biberglass street lamp which detects whether
anyone’s using the lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.
According to the designer, the lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians.
Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lighting strike. Each lampbrella would offer enough shelter for
第14页 | 共22页several people. Being installed at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.
While there are no plans to take lampbrella into production, Belyacv says he recently introduced his creation one Moscow
Department, and insists this creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to
provide shelter.
66. For what purpose did Belyacv create the lampbrella?
A. To predict a heavy rain B. To check the weather forecast
C. To protect people from the rain D. To remind people to take an umbrella
67. What do we know from Belyacv’s words in Paragraph2?
A. His creation was inspired by an experience
B. it rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg
C. Street lamps are protected by canopies
D. He enjoyed taking walks in the rain
68. Which of the following show how the lampbrella works?
A. motor→canopy→sensors B. Sensors→motor→canopy
C. motor→sensors→canopy D. canopy→motor→sensors
69. What does paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the lampbrella?
A. Its moving speed B. Its appearance
C. Its installation D. Its safety
70. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A. The designer will open a company to promote his product
B. The lampbrella could be put into immediate production
C. The designer is confident that his creation is practical
D. The lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow

Sparrow is a fast-food chain with 200 restaurants. Some years ago, the group to which Sparrow belonged was taken over by
another company. Although Sparrow showed no sign of declining, the chain was generally in an unhealthy state. With more
and more fast-food concepts reaching the market, the Sparrow menu had to struggle for attention. And to make matters
worse, its new owner had no plans to give it the funds it required.
Sparrow failed to grow for another two years. Until a new CEO, Carl Pearson, decided to build up its market share. He did
a survey, which showed that consumers who already used Sparrow restaurants were extremely positive about the chain,
while customers of other fast-food chains were unwilling to turn away from them. Sparrow had to develop a new
promotional campaign.
Pearson faced a battle over the future of the Sparrow brand. The chain’s owner now favored rebranding Sparrow as
第16页 | 共22页Marcy’s restaurants. Pearson resisted, arguing for an advertising campaign designed to convince customers that visits to
Sparrow restaurants were fun. Such an attempt to establish a positive relationship between a company and the general
public was unusual for that time. Pearson strongly believed that numbers were the key to success, rather than customers’
speeding power. Finally, the owner accepted his idea.
The campaign itself changed the traditional advertising style of the fast-food industry. The TV ads of Sparrow focused on
entertainment and featured original songs performed by a variety of stars. Instead of showing the superiority of a specific
product, the intention was to put Sparrow in the hearts of potential customers.
Pearson also made other decisions which he believed would contribute to the new Sparrow image. For example, he offered
to lower the rent of any restaurants which achieved a certain increase in their turnover (营业额) .
These efforts paid off, and Sparrow soon became one of the most successful fast-food chains in the regions where it
operated.
71. Which was one of the problems Sparrow faced before Pearson became CEO?
A. The number of its customers was declining
B. Its customers found the food unhealthy
C. It was in need of financial support
D. Most of its restaurants were closed
72. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Customers of Sparrow restaurants B. Sparrow restaurants
C. Customers of other fast-food chains D. other fast-food chains
73. For what purpose did Pearson start the advertising campaign?
A. To build a good relationship with the public
B. To stress the unusual tradition of Sparrow
C. To lean about customers’ spending power.
D. To meet the challenge from Marcy’s restaurants.
74. The TV ads of Sparrow ________ .
A. changed people’s views on pop stars
B. amused the public with original songs
C. focused on the superiority of its products
D. influenced the eating habits of the audience
75. What was Pearson’s achievement as a CEO?
A. He managed to pay off Sparrow’s debts.
B. He made Sparrow much more competitive
第17页 | 共22页C. He helped Sparrow take over a company
D. He improved the welfare of Sparrow employees
