If you are worried about things and are under a lot of stress at work or school, then you are probably not sleeping well. Worry can keep you awake, tossing and 26 in bed until the early hours of the morning when you eventually 27 asleep. When you wake up, you don' t feel 28 , but tired and worn out and 29 to face a new day.
Dr. Henry Winkle, in a recent newspaper article 30 Stress and Sleep, 31 that stress and lack of sleep are directly 32 . Dr. Winkle says, "the more we worry, the 33 we sleep, the more we are unable to deal with 34 If we can find a way to get a good night' s sleep," he 35 ,"we can often find the 36 to deal with what' s worrying us. "
So, what is a good night' s sleep? Research shows that the amount of sleep which people need in order to keep healthy 37 a lot. Seven hours is about the average amount, 38 strangely enough, sleeping longer often gives you a headache 39 of making you feel more refreshed.
Dr. Winkle believes that preparing for sleeping is important. People who work late should try to give themselves a short 40 and do something restful before going to bed. This could be watching TV or listening to music. Doing some exercise 41 in the day should help you to feel physically as well as 42 tired. A bedtime drink can also help, but coffee or tea should be avoided as they contain caffeine(咖啡因) and will keep you. 43 . "When you put the light 44 ," Dr.Winkle says, "concentrate on relaxing your muscles. Working slowly up from your feet, and you'll be asleep 45 you know it. "

An embarrassing experience
It was the small hours of the morning when we reached London Airport. I had cabled London from Amsterdam, and there was a hired car to meet, but there was one more unfortunate happening before I reached my flat. In all my travels I have never, but for that once, been required by the British customs to open a single bag or to do more than state that I carried no goods liable to duty. It was, of course, my fault; the extreme tiredness and nervous tension of the journey had destroyed my diplomacy. I was, for whichever reason, so tired that I could hardly stand, and to the question ,"have you read this?" I replied with extreme foolishness, "Yes, hundreds of times. "
"And you have nothing to declare?""Nothing. "
"How long have you been out of this country?""About three months. "
"And during that time you have acquired nothing?""Nothing but what is on the list I have given you. "He seemed momentarily at a loss, but then he attacked. The attack, when it came, was utterly unexpected.
"Where did you get that watch?"
I could have kicked myself. Two days before, when playing water games with a friend in the bath, I had forgotten to take off my ROLEX OYSTER, and it had, not unnaturally, stopped. I had gone into the market and bought, for twelve shillings and six pence, an ugly time piece that made a strange noise. It had stopped twice, without any reason, during the journey.
I explained, but I had already lost face. I produced my own watch from a pocket, and added that I should be grateful if he would confiscate the replacement.
"It is not a question of confiscation," he said, "there is a fine for failing to declare dutiable goods. And now may I please examine that Rolex?"
It took another quarter of an hour to persuade him that the Rolex was not contraband; then he began to search my luggage.
46. When did the writer arrive at London airport?
[A] In the early morning.
[B] Late at night.
[C] At noon.
[D] Late in the morning.
47. What can we conclude from the questions asked by the customs officer?
[A] He was just doing his duty by asking the passenger some usual questions.
[B] He must have noticed the writer's ugly watch.
[C] He wanted to embarrass the writer.
[D] He must have noticed the writer's tiredness.
48. What did the writer think of the watch he bought in the market?
[A] He was fond of the watch because it was a Rolex.
[B] He found the watch useful though it was very cheap.
[C] He didn't like the watch at all.
[D] He was indifferent to the watch.
49. What must have happened to the writer in the end?
[A] He must have spent a long time at the customs and must have been let go without any punishment.
[B] He must have been given a fine as a punishment.
[C] His Rolex must have been confiscated.
[D] His cheap watch must have been confiscated.
50. What do you think is the tone of the story?
[A] Humorous.
[B] Sarcastic.
[C] Solemn.
[D] Matter-of-fact.

You must have been troubled by when to say "I love you" because it is one of the greatest puzzles in our life.
What if you say it first and your partner doesn' t love you back? Or if they do say it but you don't feel they mean it? Being the first to declare your love can be nerve-racking(緊張) and risky and can leave you feeling as vulnerable as a turtle with no shell. But is the person who says it first really in a position of weakness? Doesn' t it pay to hold back, play it cool and wait until the other half has shown their hand first?
"A really good relationship should be about being fair and being equal," says psychologist Sidney Crown. "But love is seldom equal. " All relationships go through power struggles but, he says ,if a love imbalance continues for years, the rot will set in. "That feeling of ' I' ve always loved you more' may be subverted(*，破壞) for a time, but it never goes away completely and it often emerges in squabbling(大聲爭(zhēng)吵). In love, at least, the silent, withholding type is not always the most powerful. "The strongest one in a relationship is often the person who feels confident enough to talk about their feelings," says educational psychologist lngrid Collins. Psychosexual therapist Paula Hall agrees. "The one with the upper hand is often the person who takes the initiative. In fact, the person who says ' I love you' first may also be the one who says ' I' m bored with you' first. " Hall believes that much depends on how "I love you" is said and the motivation of the person saying it."Is it said when they' re drunk? Is it said before their partner flies off on holiday, and what it really means is ' Please don' t be unfaithful to me' ? By saying I love you' ,they really say' Do you love me?' If so, wouldn' t it just be more honest to say that?" Collins agrees that intention is everything."It' s not what is said, but how it' s said. What it comes down to is the sincerity of the speaker. "51. What is the main idea of this passage?
[A]The importance of "I love you"
[B]The meaning of "I love you"
[C]The time of saying "I love you"
[D]The place of saying "I love you"
52. In the first sentence the author means that__________.
[A]it is easy to say "I love you"
[B]it is hard to say "I love you"
[C]we have many troubles in our life
[D]people usually do not know when to say "I love you"
53. According to the expert, a good relationship should be__________.
[A]fair and equal
[B]fair and kind
[C]powerful and equal
[D]confident and fair
54. In the third paragraph, the phrase "with the upper hand" means__________.
[A]being low in spirit
[B]having only one hand
[C]being active
[D]being passive
55. What is the most important for you to consider when somebody says "I love you" to you?
[A]The intention.
[B]The place.
[C]The time.
[D]The determination.

At the European Commission in Brussels, they have a joke about the work interpreters do-"Languages", they say, "have nothing to do with interpretation, it helps to know them. "Anyone thinking of becoming an interpreter would bear this so well in mind. Translating languages, especially in a political context, involves far more than mere linguistic ability.
To work in an international organization, such as the United Nations, you need to be approved by one of the various international translators or interpreters' associations. To achieve this, you must experience rigorous and lengthy training, either at an accrediting organization' s own school, or on a post graduate course at university. But a qualification in languages is not the only route into the job .At London' s University of Westminster, candidates get offered a place on the interpreter' s course if they can show that they have "lived a bit", in the words of one lecture. Young people who have just left university often lack adequate experience of life.
The University also looks for candidates who have lived for long time in the countries where their acquired languages are spoken. They are also expected to have wide cultural interests and a good knowledge of current affairs. This broad range of interests are essential in a job which can require interpreting discussions of disarmament (裁軍) on Monday, international fishing rights on Tuesday ,multinational finance on Wednesday, and the building and construction industry on Thursday.
Interpreters also rely on adrenaline(腎上腺素)--which is caused by the stress and challenges of the job--to keep them going through their demanding schedules. Many admit that they enjoy the buzz of adrenaline they get from the job, and it' s known that their heart rates speed up while they are working.
It' s also a job with its own risks and excitement. Interpreters are needed in war zones as well as in centers of international diplomacy, like the U. N.
56. According to the passage, what does the underlined phrase "lived a bit "mean?
[A]To be older than others.
[B]To travel to more countries.
[C]To have abundant life experience.
[D]To have longer training in interpreting.
57. Candidates for the training course in London' s University of Westminster need the following qualifications EXCEPT
[A]having wide cultural interests
[B]having a good knowledge of current affairs
[C]being familiar with the languages they translate
[D]being eloquent lecturers
58. The interpreters rely on adrenaline because
[A]it can help finish their work quickly
[B]it can make them excited
[C]it can prevent them from heart disease
[D]it can make them work harder
59. According to the passage, we can infer that
[A]language has nothing to do with interpreting
[B]only those postgraduates from the foreign language universities can work as interpreters
[C]interpreters must live in the country where the required language is spoken
[D]interpreters build the bridge for international communication
60. The job as an interpreter has the following characteristics EXCEPT
[A]funny
[B]intrepid
[C]dangerous sometimes
[D]excitingPart B
Directions:The 12,000 members of the Electricity Workers' Union went on strike last week and since then there has been no electricity. For questions 61 - 65, match the names with the statements below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
Mr. Mike Smith:
It wasn' t an easy decision, but we' ve been asking for a decent wage for years. Now at last people are beginning to listen to us. We' re only asking for a 25 percent increase in our wages. 250dollars a week, that' s all. It' s a pity so many people have to be inconvenienced by our strike. But please don't blame us. Blame the government for refusing our claim.
Mr. Tom Brown:
It' s totally unreasonable to demand so much money when we are trying desperately to control inflation. If wages go up, so do prices. If we gave in to the electricity workers, all the other unions would want more, with the inevitable result that the crisis would become uncontrollable. What we're trying to impress upon everybody is that inflation hurts everybody, especially the poor people. We offer the electricity workers a 10 percent increase. And that' s already too much. My stand at this meeting will be to persuade the Union to see reason.
Mr. Bob Davis:
Everybody will be hurt by this strike, including the electricity workers themselves. The economy will be destroyed and many people will lose their jobs. Already people are saying that the big union shave too much power and shouldn' t be allowed to strike. Of course the electricity workers want to get more money. Don't we all?
Mrs. Baker:
My opinion is "Get the Army in". All the power stations should be managed by the army. The strikers should be thrown into prison. That' s what this country needs. Why must we all suffer just because a few men are greedy? If they don' t like their jobs, nobody' s forcing them to work. They should try and live on 50 dollars a week like I have to. Perhaps they' d keep their mouths shut then .Miss Siater:
Let' s face it. It' s neither here nor there. The electricity workers are in a strong position. Per-haps we can' t do anything about it. What I say is: let them have their 250 dollars so we can return to work. I mean, the government wastes the taxpayers' money all the time on trivial things. How can anyone say 250 dollars is "too much" ? Pop singers get more. Nurses get less. It' s just one of those things.
Now match each of the persons (61 to 65)to the appropriate statement .Note: there are two extra statements.
Statements
61. Mr. Mike Smith
62. Mr. Tom Brown
63. Mr. Bob Davis
64. Mrs. Baker
65. Miss Slater
[A] A 10% increase is already too much, and I' m here to persuade the Union to see reason.
[B] I hope that strikes should be banned in all sectors relating to the nation's security and stability.
[C] We will never go back to work until our goals are achieved.
[D] I think that the government should give in to the electricity workers' demands.
[E] I strongly suggest that all the power stations should be run by the army and that the strikers should be put into prison.
[F] I must make you clear that strikes will destroy the economy and that many people will lose their jobs.
[G] We are forced to call a strike because the government rejected our wage claim.

如果你正為某些事情擔(dān)心或是在工作上、學(xué)業(yè)中承受著很大的壓力，你極有可能睡得不好。憂慮使你無法入睡，使你在床上輾轉(zhuǎn)反側(cè)，直到清晨時(shí)分才能睡得著覺。醒來的時(shí)候，你并不會(huì)覺得精神煥發(fā)神清氣爽，而是會(huì)精疲力竭，無法迎接新一天的來臨。
近期的報(bào)紙上刊登了一篇亨利•溫可爾博士的文章，題目是《壓力與睡眠》。溫可爾博士認(rèn)為壓力和睡眠不足有直接的聯(lián)系。他說：“我們?cè)绞菓n心忡忡，睡得就越少，也就越?jīng)]有辦法對(duì)抗憂慮。”他還補(bǔ)充說：“如果能找到使自己睡個(gè)好覺的方法，我們就能有足夠的精力解決我們的問題?！?BR> 那么，究竟什么是良好的睡眠呢?研究表明，為了保持健康所需要的睡眠時(shí)間是因人而異的。7小時(shí)是平均數(shù)。然而令人不解的是，延長(zhǎng)睡眠時(shí)間，非但不能讓人精神煥發(fā)，反而會(huì)引起頭痛。
溫可爾博士認(rèn)為睡前的準(zhǔn)備工作是很重要的。工作到很晚的人臨睡前應(yīng)該稍稍休息一下，做點(diǎn)有助于放松的事，可以看看電視或聽聽音樂。早晨做運(yùn)動(dòng)也會(huì)使人在身體土和精神上有疲勞感。睡前喝點(diǎn)飲料也有助于睡眠，但不要喝茶或咖啡，因?yàn)樗鼈兒械目Х纫驎?huì)使你無法入眠。溫可爾博士指出：“關(guān)燈之后，你就該集中精神放松你的肌肉。慢慢地從腳開始放松，就會(huì)不知不覺地進(jìn)入夢(mèng)鄉(xiāng)了?！?BR> 答案及解析

尷尬的經(jīng)歷
當(dāng)我們到達(dá)倫敦機(jī)場(chǎng)的時(shí)候還是凌晨，我已經(jīng)從阿姆斯特丹往倫敦發(fā)過電報(bào)了，預(yù)租了一輛車等我們.但是在我到達(dá)公寓之前又發(fā)生了一件倒霉的事。在我所有的旅 行經(jīng)歷中，英國海關(guān)從來沒有要求過我打開一個(gè)包，我僅僅需要申明我沒有攜帶需交關(guān)稅的商品就可以了，只有這例外。當(dāng)然，這是我的錯(cuò)，旅途的極度疲勞和 神經(jīng)緊張已經(jīng)使我與人交涉的能力衰退了。不管出于什么原因，我太累了，累得幾乎站不穩(wěn)，對(duì)于海關(guān)人員提出的問題，“你看過這個(gè)嗎?”我極其愚蠢地回答說： “看過幾百次了?！?BR> “你沒有什么要申報(bào)的嗎?”“沒有?！?BR> “你離開這個(gè)國家多久了?”“大概3個(gè)月了。”
“在這段時(shí)間里你什么也沒購置嗎?”
“除了我給你的清單上的東西，什么也沒有?！?BR> 他似乎有片刻的疑惑，但是過后他發(fā)起進(jìn)攻了，那進(jìn)攻完全出乎我的意料。
“那塊手表從哪里來的?”
我懊惱極了，兩天前和朋友在浴室打水仗的時(shí)候，我忘記把我的勞力士伊司特表摘下來了，后來它不走了，我就去一家商店花12先令6便士買了這塊丑陋的表，它還總是發(fā)出很奇怪的聲音。在旅程中它莫名其妙地停了兩次。
我解釋了，但是我已經(jīng)丟了面子，我從口袋里拿出自己的手表給他看，并且補(bǔ)充說如果他沒收那件替代品我會(huì)很感激。
“這不是沒收的問題，”他說，“不申報(bào)關(guān)稅商品要罰款，現(xiàn)在可以把那塊勞力士給我檢查嗎?”
我又花了15分鐘說服他這塊勞力士不是走私品，然后他又開始搜查我的行李。
答案及解析
46.A【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。文章第一句話說“It was thesmall hours of the morning when we reached London Airport.”，這里的“small hours”意思是“凌晨”，可知作者是在凌晨到達(dá)倫敦機(jī)場(chǎng)的。故選A。
47.B【解析】推理題。文中海關(guān)官員問作者的表是從哪里來的，而且是非常突然地發(fā)問，可推測(cè)他之前已經(jīng)注意到那塊表了。故選B。
48.C【解析】推理題。從作者描述這塊手表時(shí)所用的語言，如“ugly…‘made a strange noise”可以看出作者并不喜歡這塊表。
49.B【解析】推理題。從海關(guān)官員說“這不是沒收的問題”，“不申報(bào)關(guān)稅商品要罰款”可見作者后被罰款了。fine有“罰款”的意思。
50.A【解析】推理題。作者在文中用了很多對(duì)話，說明語氣是輕松的，且從作者敘述的方式可以看出寫作手法很幽默。故選A。

52.D【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。由文章第一句話可知，作者認(rèn)為人們肯定為何時(shí)說“我愛你”而煩惱過，即人們不知道何時(shí)說“我愛你”。
53.A【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。由第三段的“A really good relationship should be about being fair and being equal”可知本題應(yīng)選A。
54.C【解析】詞義解析，“with the upper hand”意思是“占了上風(fēng)”，即處于主動(dòng)地位。
55.A【解析】從第三段末柯林斯的話語中可以得知你的動(dòng)機(jī)決定一切?！爸匾牟辉谟谡f話的內(nèi)容而在于說話的方式。歸根到底是說話人的真誠。”

參考譯文
在布魯塞爾的歐洲委員會(huì)中流傳著這樣一個(gè)關(guān)于口譯工作的笑話——他們打趣說：“語言本身與口譯無關(guān)，而是口譯幫助人們了解了語言的涵義?！比魏蜗氤蔀榭谧g員的人都應(yīng)該牢記這句話。翻譯工作，尤其是在政治領(lǐng)域里做翻譯，需要的絕不僅僅是語言能力而已。
要想在諸如聯(lián)合國那樣的國際組織里工作，你須得到眾多國際性的筆譯或口譯組織之一的認(rèn)可。要做到這一點(diǎn)，你必須選擇或是在一家授權(quán)機(jī)構(gòu)的培訓(xùn)學(xué)?；蚴且凰?大學(xué)的碩士班里接受嚴(yán)格和長(zhǎng)期的培訓(xùn)。然而，語言能力強(qiáng)并非是獲得口譯工作的途徑。在位于倫敦的威斯敏斯特大學(xué)里，申請(qǐng)者得證明他們“有點(diǎn)生活經(jīng)歷” ——這是一個(gè)演講的原話，他們才有資格參加口譯課程。剛剛大學(xué)畢業(yè)的年輕人往往缺少足夠的生活經(jīng)歷。這所大學(xué)還錄取那些有長(zhǎng)期居住外國經(jīng)歷的申請(qǐng)者，而那 些國家所使用的語言必須正是他們所掌握的外語。他們還需要對(duì)文化有廣泛的興趣，并精通時(shí)事。這種廣泛的興趣是口譯工作的必要條件?？谧g工作常常是周一翻譯 裁軍問題的商討，周二翻譯國際捕魚權(quán)利問題的商討，周三翻譯跨國財(cái)政問題的商討，周四翻譯建筑和建筑業(yè)的問題的商討。
口譯人員需要依靠腎上腺素的支持才能完成苛刻的時(shí)間表所規(guī)定的工作，而腎上腺素的分泌是源于工作中的壓力和挑戰(zhàn)。許多口譯人員說他們喜歡工作時(shí)腎上腺素分泌時(shí)嗡嗡作響的聲音，而且口譯人員在工作的時(shí)候心跳會(huì)加快。
口譯工作是危險(xiǎn)和刺激并存的。戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)地區(qū)需要口譯人員，像聯(lián)合國那樣的國際外交中心也需要口譯人員。
答案及解析
56.C【解析】由第二段后一句“Young people whohave just left university often lack adequate expe-fience of life.”可知威斯敏斯特大學(xué)不想招收缺乏生活經(jīng)歷的人進(jìn)行口譯培訓(xùn)，由此可推知，生活經(jīng)歷豐富的人會(huì)很受歡迎。所以“l(fā)ived a bit”的意思是有足夠的生活經(jīng)歷，故選C。
57.D【解析】由文章第三段第二句可知選項(xiàng)A、B是申請(qǐng)者的必備素質(zhì)，由第二段可知選項(xiàng)C也是申請(qǐng)者的必備素質(zhì)。
58.B【解析】由第四段第一句“Interpreters also relyon adrenaline-which is caused by the stress andchallenges of the job-to keep them goingthrough their demanding schedules.”以及下旬“and it's known that their heart rates speed upwhile they are working.”可推知adrenaline的作用是使他們處于一種興奮狀態(tài)。
59.D【解析】選項(xiàng)A、B、C均與本文描述的細(xì)節(jié)相
違背。
60.A【解析】末段中“It's also ajob with its own risksand excitement.”說明口譯工作“dangeroussometimes and exciting”。B項(xiàng)intrepid意為“英勇的，大無畏的”。由上句話也可推出它是口譯工作的特點(diǎn)之一。全文都沒提到說口譯工作是“有趣的”，故 選A。

上周12000名電工工會(huì)成員舉行了大罷工，從那時(shí)起就沒有電。
麥克•史密斯先生：
我們并不是輕易決定要這么做的，這么多年來我們一直在要求一個(gè)合理的工資?，F(xiàn)在終于有人開始注意聽我們講話了。我們僅僅希望能把工資提高25%，提高到每 周250美元，而已。我們的罷工給這么多人帶來不便，對(duì)此我們也很遺憾。但是請(qǐng)不要責(zé)怪我們，要怪就怪政府吧，是政府拒絕了我們的請(qǐng)求。湯姆•布朗先 生：
在我們正竭盡全力地控制通貨膨脹的時(shí)候，他們卻要這么多錢，真是不可理喻。工資提高了，物價(jià)也會(huì)跟著提高的。要是我們答應(yīng)電廠工人的要求，其他工會(huì)就會(huì)要 得更多，無法避免的結(jié)果就是這次的危機(jī)會(huì)失控。我們想讓大家都明白：通貨膨脹會(huì)危害每一個(gè)人，尤其是窮人。我們同意給電廠工人加薪10%，這已經(jīng)是很多 了。我主張通過這次會(huì)談使工會(huì)的人理智地面對(duì)問題。
鮑勃•戴維斯先生：
這次罷工將會(huì)傷害每個(gè)人的利益，也包括那些電廠工人自己。國家經(jīng)濟(jì)會(huì)受到?jīng)_擊，許多人將失業(yè)?，F(xiàn)在就已經(jīng)有人說各大工會(huì)擁有的權(quán)力過大，并且認(rèn)為它們不該有罷工的權(quán)力。電廠工人想要更多的錢，誰不想呢?
貝克夫人：
我的意見是“動(dòng)用軍隊(duì)”。所有的電廠都該由軍隊(duì)管理。把那些罷工者都投進(jìn)監(jiān)獄里，這才是這個(gè)國家需要的。為什么我們大家要因?yàn)閹讉€(gè)貪婪的人受罪呢?要是他們不喜歡自己的工作，沒人會(huì)強(qiáng)迫他們干活兒。他們應(yīng)該試著像我一樣每周靠50美元生活。沒準(zhǔn)兒那時(shí)候他們就會(huì)閉嘴了。
斯萊特小姐：
大家來面對(duì)問題吧!這是個(gè)無關(guān)緊要的事情。電廠工人處于強(qiáng)勢(shì)地位，也許我們真的對(duì)此無能為力。我想說的是：給他們250美元吧，這樣我們就可以回去工作 了。我的意思是，政府一直都在些微不足道的小事上浪費(fèi)納稅人的錢。怎么能說250美元“太多”呢?流行歌手們賺的多些，護(hù)士們賺的少些，這不過是其中一例 而已。

There are two birds in the picture. One is in a cage,while the other stays outside. Both of them are admiringthe other’s life.
The bird locked in the cage lives an unhappy life.Although it is given a full bowl of rice every day, it isbored to death. It dreams one day it can fly happily inthe sky. On the other hand, the bird outside has a strongdesire to get into the cage. It completely forgets the ad-vantage of being free, because it has to look for food byitself beng outside, and now it is hungry.
The message conveyed by the picture is instructive.Everything has two sides. When a person is in unfavor-able condition, he should have positive attitude towardslife and never lose sight of his own advantages.

An embarrassing experience
It was the small hours of the morning when we reached London Airport. I had cabled London from Amsterdam, and there was a hired car to meet, but there was one more unfortunate happening before I reached my flat. In all my travels I have never, but for that once, been required by the British customs to open a single bag or to do more than state that I carried no goods liable to duty. It was, of course, my fault; the extreme tiredness and nervous tension of the journey had destroyed my diplomacy. I was, for whichever reason, so tired that I could hardly stand, and to the question ,"have you read this?" I replied with extreme foolishness, "Yes, hundreds of times. "
"And you have nothing to declare?""Nothing. "
"How long have you been out of this country?""About three months. "
"And during that time you have acquired nothing?""Nothing but what is on the list I have given you. "He seemed momentarily at a loss, but then he attacked. The attack, when it came, was utterly unexpected.
"Where did you get that watch?"
I could have kicked myself. Two days before, when playing water games with a friend in the bath, I had forgotten to take off my ROLEX OYSTER, and it had, not unnaturally, stopped. I had gone into the market and bought, for twelve shillings and six pence, an ugly time piece that made a strange noise. It had stopped twice, without any reason, during the journey.
I explained, but I had already lost face. I produced my own watch from a pocket, and added that I should be grateful if he would confiscate the replacement.
"It is not a question of confiscation," he said, "there is a fine for failing to declare dutiable goods. And now may I please examine that Rolex?"
It took another quarter of an hour to persuade him that the Rolex was not contraband; then he began to search my luggage.
46. When did the writer arrive at London airport?
[A] In the early morning.
[B] Late at night.
[C] At noon.
[D] Late in the morning.
47. What can we conclude from the questions asked by the customs officer?
[A] He was just doing his duty by asking the passenger some usual questions.
[B] He must have noticed the writer's ugly watch.
[C] He wanted to embarrass the writer.
[D] He must have noticed the writer's tiredness.
48. What did the writer think of the watch he bought in the market?
[A] He was fond of the watch because it was a Rolex.
[B] He found the watch useful though it was very cheap.
[C] He didn't like the watch at all.
[D] He was indifferent to the watch.
49. What must have happened to the writer in the end?
[A] He must have spent a long time at the customs and must have been let go without any punishment.
[B] He must have been given a fine as a punishment.
[C] His Rolex must have been confiscated.
[D] His cheap watch must have been confiscated.
50. What do you think is the tone of the story?
[A] Humorous.
[B] Sarcastic.
[C] Solemn.
[D] Matter-of-fact.
Text 2
You must have been troubled by when to say "I love you" because it is one of the greatest puzzles in our life.
What if you say it first and your partner doesn' t love you back? Or if they do say it but you don't feel they mean it? Being the first to declare your love can be nerve-racking(緊張) and risky and can leave you feeling as vulnerable as a turtle with no shell. But is the person who says it first really in a position of weakness? Doesn' t it pay to hold back, play it cool and wait until the other half has shown their hand first?
"A really good relationship should be about being fair and being equal," says psychologist Sidney Crown. "But love is seldom equal. " All relationships go through power struggles but, he says ,if a love imbalance continues for years, the rot will set in. "That feeling of ' I' ve always loved you more' may be subverted(*，破壞) for a time, but it never goes away completely and it often emerges in squabbling(大聲爭(zhēng)吵). In love, at least, the silent, withholding type is not always the most powerful. "The strongest one in a relationship is often the person who feels confident enough to talk about their feelings," says educational psychologist lngrid Collins. Psychosexual therapist Paula Hall agrees. "The one with the upper hand is often the person who takes the initiative. In fact, the person who says ' I love you' first may also be the one who says ' I' m bored with you' first. " Hall believes that much depends on how "I love you" is said and the motivation of the person saying it."Is it said when they' re drunk? Is it said before their partner flies off on holiday, and what it really means is ' Please don' t be unfaithful to me' ? By saying I love you' ,they really say' Do you love me?' If so, wouldn' t it just be more honest to say that?" Collins agrees that intention is everything."It' s not what is said, but how it' s said. What it comes down to is the sincerity of the speaker. "51. What is the main idea of this passage?
[A]The importance of "I love you"
[B]The meaning of "I love you"
[C]The time of saying "I love you"
[D]The place of saying "I love you"
52. In the first sentence the author means that__________.
[A]it is easy to say "I love you"
[B]it is hard to say "I love you"
[C]we have many troubles in our life
[D]people usually do not know when to say "I love you"
53. According to the expert, a good relationship should be__________.
[A]fair and equal
[B]fair and kind
[C]powerful and equal
[D]confident and fair
54. In the third paragraph, the phrase "with the upper hand" means__________.
[A]being low in spirit
[B]having only one hand
[C]being active
[D]being passive
55. What is the most important for you to consider when somebody says "I love you" to you?
[A]The intention.
[B]The place.
[C]The time.
[D]The determination.
Text 3
At the European Commission in Brussels, they have a joke about the work interpreters do-"Languages", they say, "have nothing to do with interpretation, it helps to know them. "Anyone thinking of becoming an interpreter would bear this so well in mind. Translating languages, especially in a political context, involves far more than mere linguistic ability.
To work in an international organization, such as the United Nations, you need to be approved by one of the various international translators or interpreters' associations. To achieve this, you must experience rigorous and lengthy training, either at an accrediting organization' s own school, or on a post graduate course at university. But a qualification in languages is not the only route into the job .At London' s University of Westminster, candidates get offered a place on the interpreter' s course if they can show that they have "lived a bit", in the words of one lecture. Young people who have just left university often lack adequate experience of life.
The University also looks for candidates who have lived for long time in the countries where their acquired languages are spoken. They are also expected to have wide cultural interests and a good knowledge of current affairs. This broad range of interests are essential in a job which can require interpreting discussions of disarmament (裁軍) on Monday, international fishing rights on Tuesday ,multinational finance on Wednesday, and the building and construction industry on Thursday.
Interpreters also rely on adrenaline(腎上腺素)--which is caused by the stress and challenges of the job--to keep them going through their demanding schedules. Many admit that they enjoy the buzz of adrenaline they get from the job, and it' s known that their heart rates speed up while they are working.
It' s also a job with its own risks and excitement. Interpreters are needed in war zones as well as in centers of international diplomacy, like the U. N.
56. According to the passage, what does the underlined phrase "lived a bit "mean?
[A]To be older than others.
[B]To travel to more countries.
[C]To have abundant life experience.
[D]To have longer training in interpreting.
57. Candidates for the training course in London' s University of Westminster need the following qualifications EXCEPT
[A]having wide cultural interests
[B]having a good knowledge of current affairs
[C]being familiar with the languages they translate
[D]being eloquent lecturers
58. The interpreters rely on adrenaline because
[A]it can help finish their work quickly
[B]it can make them excited
[C]it can prevent them from heart disease
[D]it can make them work harder
59. According to the passage, we can infer that
[A]language has nothing to do with interpreting
[B]only those postgraduates from the foreign language universities can work as interpreters
[C]interpreters must live in the country where the required language is spoken
[D]interpreters build the bridge for international communication
60. The job as an interpreter has the following characteristics EXCEPT
[A]funny
[B]intrepid
[C]dangerous sometimes
[D]excitingPart B
Directions:The 12,000 members of the Electricity Workers' Union went on strike last week and since then there has been no electricity. For questions 61 - 65, match the names with the statements below. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
Mr. Mike Smith:
It wasn' t an easy decision, but we' ve been asking for a decent wage for years. Now at last people are beginning to listen to us. We' re only asking for a 25 percent increase in our wages. 250dollars a week, that' s all. It' s a pity so many people have to be inconvenienced by our strike. But please don't blame us. Blame the government for refusing our claim.
Mr. Tom Brown:
It' s totally unreasonable to demand so much money when we are trying desperately to control inflation. If wages go up, so do prices. If we gave in to the electricity workers, all the other unions would want more, with the inevitable result that the crisis would become uncontrollable. What we're trying to impress upon everybody is that inflation hurts everybody, especially the poor people. We offer the electricity workers a 10 percent increase. And that' s already too much. My stand at this meeting will be to persuade the Union to see reason.
Mr. Bob Davis:
Everybody will be hurt by this strike, including the electricity workers themselves. The economy will be destroyed and many people will lose their jobs. Already people are saying that the big union shave too much power and shouldn' t be allowed to strike. Of course the electricity workers want to get more money. Don't we all?
Mrs. Baker:
My opinion is "Get the Army in". All the power stations should be managed by the army. The strikers should be thrown into prison. That' s what this country needs. Why must we all suffer just because a few men are greedy? If they don' t like their jobs, nobody' s forcing them to work. They should try and live on 50 dollars a week like I have to. Perhaps they' d keep their mouths shut then .Miss Siater:
Let' s face it. It' s neither here nor there. The electricity workers are in a strong position. Per-haps we can' t do anything about it. What I say is: let them have their 250 dollars so we can return to work. I mean, the government wastes the taxpayers' money all the time on trivial things. How can anyone say 250 dollars is "too much" ? Pop singers get more. Nurses get less. It' s just one of those things.
Now match each of the persons (61 to 65)to the appropriate statement .Note: there are two extra statements.
Statements
61. Mr. Mike Smith
62. Mr. Tom Brown
63. Mr. Bob Davis
64. Mrs. Baker
65. Miss Slater
[A] A 10% increase is already too much, and I' m here to persuade the Union to see reason.
[B] I hope that strikes should be banned in all sectors relating to the nation's security and stability.
[C] We will never go back to work until our goals are achieved.
[D] I think that the government should give in to the electricity workers' demands.
[E] I strongly suggest that all the power stations should be run by the army and that the strikers should be put into prison.
[F] I must make you clear that strikes will destroy the economy and that many people will lose their jobs.
[G] We are forced to call a strike because the government rejected our wage claim.

26.A【解析】本題考查詞語搭配。toss and turn是固定用法，表示“輾轉(zhuǎn)反側(cè)”。
27.D【解析】本題考查詞語搭配。fall asleep意為“入睡”，是固定用法，符合題意。
28.C【解析】本題考查詞語辨析和對(duì)文意的理解。A項(xiàng)relieve意為“減輕，安慰”;B 項(xiàng)renew意為“恢復(fù)，重新開始”;C項(xiàng)refresh，意為“恢復(fù)精力”;D項(xiàng)release意為“釋放”。根據(jù)題意，入睡覺醒來應(yīng)該覺得神清氣爽，所以選擇C。
29.B【解析】本題考查詞義辨析。B項(xiàng)unable意為“沒有能力的”，常與to搭配，人做主語。
30.C【解析】本題考查詞義辨析和對(duì)文意的理解。表示“文章等的標(biāo)題是…”，一般用entitle，為固定用法。
31.D【解析】本題考查詞義辨析。A項(xiàng)imply意為“暗示”;B項(xiàng)suggest、C項(xiàng)propose均為“建議”;只有D項(xiàng)indicate意為“表明，明確指出”符合文意。
32.A【解析】本題考查詞義辨析。根據(jù)文章可知，這里的意思是“壓力和缺乏睡眠有關(guān)系”。A項(xiàng)relate意為“聯(lián)系，使有聯(lián)系”，符合文章，故選A。
33.B【解析】本題考查對(duì)上下文的理解。第一段已經(jīng)提到，如果人承受很大的壓力就睡不好，“憂慮使你無法入睡”。由此可知，越憂慮，睡得越少，the more/less…，the…是固定搭配，意為“越…，越…”。
34.C【解析】本題考查對(duì)上下文的理解。這一段第一句話已提到亨利博士的文章講的是壓力與睡眠的關(guān)系，前文中出現(xiàn)了stress and sleep，根據(jù)此細(xì)節(jié)可推斷出此處應(yīng)選C。
35.D【解析】本題考查對(duì)上下文的理解。根據(jù)文章可知，此處是說“博士又補(bǔ)充了一點(diǎn)”，D項(xiàng)add意為“補(bǔ)充”。
36.B【解析】本題考查詞文辨析。這里的意思是說只有保證好的睡眠，我們才能有精力去解決所憂慮的問題，此處指的是人的精力，只有B項(xiàng)energy有此意。
37.A【解析】本題考查詞義辨析。這里指的是人們睡眠的時(shí)間各不相同，vary和differ都有“不同”的意思。但前者強(qiáng)調(diào)各式各樣的、種類的多樣性，而后者強(qiáng)調(diào)事物本質(zhì)上根本的不同。
38.C【解析】本題考查關(guān)聯(lián)詞的用法。此處意思是說，一般人們會(huì)認(rèn)為睡得越多人越精神，但恰恰相反，睡多了會(huì)使人頭疼，這里是轉(zhuǎn)折的意思，A、D項(xiàng)都有轉(zhuǎn)折的意思，但是作插入語在句中前后均要用逗號(hào)隔開。所以選擇C。
39.D【解析】本題考查對(duì)上下文的理解。此句的意思是“睡多了會(huì)使人頭疼而不是更加體力充沛”，要選擇表轉(zhuǎn)折的選項(xiàng)。instead of意為“代替，作為…的替換”，符合文意。
40.B【解析】本題考查詞義辨析。B項(xiàng)break符合文意，意為“短暫休息”;A項(xiàng)pause意為“中止”;C項(xiàng)vacation意為“假期”;D項(xiàng)interruption意為“打擾”。
41.B【解析】本題考查對(duì)上下文的理解。此處是說早晨做運(yùn)動(dòng)也會(huì)使人在身體上和精神上有疲勞感。early意為“早早地”，符合文意。

尷尬的經(jīng)歷
當(dāng)我們到達(dá)倫敦機(jī)場(chǎng)的時(shí)候還是凌晨，我已經(jīng)從阿姆斯特丹往倫敦發(fā)過電報(bào)了，預(yù)租了一輛車等我們.但是在我到達(dá)公寓之前又發(fā)生了一件倒霉的事。在我所有的旅 行經(jīng)歷中，英國海關(guān)從來沒有要求過我打開一個(gè)包，我僅僅需要申明我沒有攜帶需交關(guān)稅的商品就可以了，只有這例外。當(dāng)然，這是我的錯(cuò)，旅途的極度疲勞和 神經(jīng)緊張已經(jīng)使我與人交涉的能力衰退了。不管出于什么原因，我太累了，累得幾乎站不穩(wěn)，對(duì)于海關(guān)人員提出的問題，“你看過這個(gè)嗎?”我極其愚蠢地回答說： “看過幾百次了?！?BR> “你沒有什么要申報(bào)的嗎?”“沒有?！?BR> “你離開這個(gè)國家多久了?”“大概3個(gè)月了。”
“在這段時(shí)間里你什么也沒購置嗎?”
“除了我給你的清單上的東西，什么也沒有?！?BR> 他似乎有片刻的疑惑，但是過后他發(fā)起進(jìn)攻了，那進(jìn)攻完全出乎我的意料。
“那塊手表從哪里來的?”
我懊惱極了，兩天前和朋友在浴室打水仗的時(shí)候，我忘記把我的勞力士伊司特表摘下來了，后來它不走了，我就去一家商店花12先令6便士買了這塊丑陋的表，它還總是發(fā)出很奇怪的聲音。在旅程中它莫名其妙地停了兩次。
我解釋了，但是我已經(jīng)丟了面子，我從口袋里拿出自己的手表給他看，并且補(bǔ)充說如果他沒收那件替代品我會(huì)很感激。
“這不是沒收的問題，”他說，“不申報(bào)關(guān)稅商品要罰款，現(xiàn)在可以把那塊勞力士給我檢查嗎?”
我又花了15分鐘說服他這塊勞力士不是走私品，然后他又開始搜查我的行李。
答案及解析
46.A【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。文章第一句話說“It was thesmall hours of the morning when we reached London Airport.”，這里的“small hours”意思是“凌晨”，可知作者是在凌晨到達(dá)倫敦機(jī)場(chǎng)的。故選A。
47.B【解析】推理題。文中海關(guān)官員問作者的表是從哪里來的，而且是非常突然地發(fā)問，可推測(cè)他之前已經(jīng)注意到那塊表了。故選B。
48.C【解析】推理題。從作者描述這塊手表時(shí)所用的語言，如“ugly…‘made a strange noise”可以看出作者并不喜歡這塊表。
49.B【解析】推理題。從海關(guān)官員說“這不是沒收的問題”，“不申報(bào)關(guān)稅商品要罰款”可見作者后被罰款了。fine有“罰款”的意思。
50.A【解析】推理題。作者在文中用了很多對(duì)話，說明語氣是輕松的，且從作者敘述的方式可以看出寫作手法很幽默。故選A。

51.C【解析】主旨題。這篇文章主要講述的是說“我愛你”的時(shí)機(jī)，文章的第一句話即顯示了這一點(diǎn)。
52.D【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。由文章第一句話可知，作者認(rèn)為人們肯定為何時(shí)說“我愛你”而煩惱過，即人們不知道何時(shí)說“我愛你”。
53.A【解析】細(xì)節(jié)題。由第三段的“A really good relationship should be about being fair and being equal”可知本題應(yīng)選A。
54.C【解析】詞義解析，“with the upper hand”意思是“占了上風(fēng)”，即處于主動(dòng)地位。
55.A【解析】從第三段末柯林斯的話語中可以得知你的動(dòng)機(jī)決定一切?！爸匾牟辉谟谡f話的內(nèi)容而在于說話的方式。歸根到底是說話人的真誠。”

參考譯文
在布魯塞爾的歐洲委員會(huì)中流傳著這樣一個(gè)關(guān)于口譯工作的笑話——他們打趣說：“語言本身與口譯無關(guān)，而是口譯幫助人們了解了語言的涵義?！比魏蜗氤蔀榭谧g員的人都應(yīng)該牢記這句話。翻譯工作，尤其是在政治領(lǐng)域里做翻譯，需要的絕不僅僅是語言能力而已。
要想在諸如聯(lián)合國那樣的國際組織里工作，你須得到眾多國際性的筆譯或口譯組織之一的認(rèn)可。要做到這一點(diǎn)，你必須選擇或是在一家授權(quán)機(jī)構(gòu)的培訓(xùn)學(xué)?；蚴且凰?大學(xué)的碩士班里接受嚴(yán)格和長(zhǎng)期的培訓(xùn)。然而，語言能力強(qiáng)并非是獲得口譯工作的途徑。在位于倫敦的威斯敏斯特大學(xué)里，申請(qǐng)者得證明他們“有點(diǎn)生活經(jīng)歷” ——這是一個(gè)演講的原話，他們才有資格參加口譯課程。剛剛大學(xué)畢業(yè)的年輕人往往缺少足夠的生活經(jīng)歷。這所大學(xué)還錄取那些有長(zhǎng)期居住外國經(jīng)歷的申請(qǐng)者，而那 些國家所使用的語言必須正是他們所掌握的外語。他們還需要對(duì)文化有廣泛的興趣，并精通時(shí)事。這種廣泛的興趣是口譯工作的必要條件?？谧g工作常常是周一翻譯 裁軍問題的商討，周二翻譯國際捕魚權(quán)利問題的商討，周三翻譯跨國財(cái)政問題的商討，周四翻譯建筑和建筑業(yè)的問題的商討。
口譯人員需要依靠腎上腺素的支持才能完成苛刻的時(shí)間表所規(guī)定的工作，而腎上腺素的分泌是源于工作中的壓力和挑戰(zhàn)。許多口譯人員說他們喜歡工作時(shí)腎上腺素分泌時(shí)嗡嗡作響的聲音，而且口譯人員在工作的時(shí)候心跳會(huì)加快。
口譯工作是危險(xiǎn)和刺激并存的。戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)地區(qū)需要口譯人員，像聯(lián)合國那樣的國際外交中心也需要口譯人員。
答案及解析
56.C【解析】由第二段后一句“Young people whohave just left university often lack adequate expe-fience of life.”可知威斯敏斯特大學(xué)不想招收缺乏生活經(jīng)歷的人進(jìn)行口譯培訓(xùn)，由此可推知，生活經(jīng)歷豐富的人會(huì)很受歡迎。所以“l(fā)ived a bit”的意思是有足夠的生活經(jīng)歷，故選C。
57.D【解析】由文章第三段第二句可知選項(xiàng)A、B是申請(qǐng)者的必備素質(zhì)，由第二段可知選項(xiàng)C也是申請(qǐng)者的必備素質(zhì)。
58.B【解析】由第四段第一句“Interpreters also relyon adrenaline-which is caused by the stress andchallenges of the job-to keep them goingthrough their demanding schedules.”以及下旬“and it's known that their heart rates speed upwhile they are working.”可推知adrenaline的作用是使他們處于一種興奮狀態(tài)。
59.D【解析】選項(xiàng)A、B、C均與本文描述的細(xì)節(jié)相
違背。
60.A【解析】末段中“It's also ajob with its own risksand excitement.”說明口譯工作“dangeroussometimes and exciting”。B項(xiàng)intrepid意為“英勇的，大無畏的”。由上句話也可推出它是口譯工作的特點(diǎn)之一。全文都沒提到說口譯工作是“有趣的”，故 選A。

上周12000名電工工會(huì)成員舉行了大罷工，從那時(shí)起就沒有電。
麥克•史密斯先生：
我們并不是輕易決定要這么做的，這么多年來我們一直在要求一個(gè)合理的工資?，F(xiàn)在終于有人開始注意聽我們講話了。我們僅僅希望能把工資提高25%，提高到每 周250美元，而已。我們的罷工給這么多人帶來不便，對(duì)此我們也很遺憾。但是請(qǐng)不要責(zé)怪我們，要怪就怪政府吧，是政府拒絕了我們的請(qǐng)求。湯姆•布朗先 生：
在我們正竭盡全力地控制通貨膨脹的時(shí)候，他們卻要這么多錢，真是不可理喻。工資提高了，物價(jià)也會(huì)跟著提高的。要是我們答應(yīng)電廠工人的要求，其他工會(huì)就會(huì)要 得更多，無法避免的結(jié)果就是這次的危機(jī)會(huì)失控。我們想讓大家都明白：通貨膨脹會(huì)危害每一個(gè)人，尤其是窮人。我們同意給電廠工人加薪10%，這已經(jīng)是很多 了。我主張通過這次會(huì)談使工會(huì)的人理智地面對(duì)問題。
鮑勃•戴維斯先生：
這次罷工將會(huì)傷害每個(gè)人的利益，也包括那些電廠工人自己。國家經(jīng)濟(jì)會(huì)受到?jīng)_擊，許多人將失業(yè)?，F(xiàn)在就已經(jīng)有人說各大工會(huì)擁有的權(quán)力過大，并且認(rèn)為它們不該有罷工的權(quán)力。電廠工人想要更多的錢，誰不想呢?
貝克夫人：
我的意見是“動(dòng)用軍隊(duì)”。所有的電廠都該由軍隊(duì)管理。把那些罷工者都投進(jìn)監(jiān)獄里，這才是這個(gè)國家需要的。為什么我們大家要因?yàn)閹讉€(gè)貪婪的人受罪呢?要是他們不喜歡自己的工作，沒人會(huì)強(qiáng)迫他們干活兒。他們應(yīng)該試著像我一樣每周靠50美元生活。沒準(zhǔn)兒那時(shí)候他們就會(huì)閉嘴了。
斯萊特小姐：
大家來面對(duì)問題吧!這是個(gè)無關(guān)緊要的事情。電廠工人處于強(qiáng)勢(shì)地位，也許我們真的對(duì)此無能為力。我想說的是：給他們250美元吧，這樣我們就可以回去工作 了。我的意思是，政府一直都在些微不足道的小事上浪費(fèi)納稅人的錢。怎么能說250美元“太多”呢?流行歌手們賺的多些，護(hù)士們賺的少些，這不過是其中一例 而已。

Inside and Outside
There are two birds in the picture. One is in a cage,while the other stays outside. Both of them are admiringthe other’s life.
The bird locked in the cage lives an unhappy life.Although it is given a full bowl of rice every day, it isbored to death. It dreams one day it can fly happily inthe sky. On the other hand, the bird outside has a strongdesire to get into the cage. It completely forgets the ad-vantage of being free, because it has to look for food byitself beng outside, and now it is hungry.
The message conveyed by the picture is instructive.Everything has two sides. When a person is in unfavor-able condition, he should have positive attitude towardslife and never lose sight of his own advantages.
