Personally Nike is my favorite one—it’s so simple. And I liked the stories behind them, which made me forget all other things. McDonal’s, Apple, Mercedes-Benz and Adidas own great logos as well, and they are among my favorites. Nike In the Greek myth, Nike is the goddess of victory and the source of inspiration for soldiers. This logo represents the wing in the famous statue of the Greek goddess. Nike’s logo was designed by Carolyn Davidson in 1971 for $35, and was registered as a trademark in 1995. McDonald’s The logo was designed in 1962 by Jim Schindler to resemble the archshaped (拱形的) sign on the side of the company’s then walk-up hamburger stand. Later on, the two golden arches were combined together to form the M. The McDonald’s name was added to the logo in 1968. Apple There are different stories behind Apple’s logo. The first logo was a reference to the religious story of Adam and Eve, in which the apple represented the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. One year later, the second logo was designed in 1977 by Steve Jobs and Ronald Wayne, and it described Sir Isaac Newton sitting under an apple tree. This logo didn’t stay long. One year later it was replaced almost immediately by graphic designer Rob Janoff’s “rainbow apple”, a rainbow-colored silhouette (轮廓) of an apple with a bite taken out of it. And then the rainbow-colored apple was replaced by the one-colored logo in 1998. It has not been changed so far. Mercedes Benz The Mercedes-Benz logo, which was originally created by Gottlieb Daimler in 1909, consists of a simple description of a three-pointed star that represents its rule of the land, the sea and the air. The company was founded by Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach. Mercedes is the name of Maybach’s elder daughter, while Benz came as a result of a combination with Benz, Cie and DMG in 1926. Adidas The Adidas logo, which was created by the founder of the company Adi Dassler, represents mountains, pointing towards the challenges that are seen ahead and goals that can be achieved. The logo was used for the first time in 1967. 16. What does the author think of the stories of the great logos? A. They are boring. B. They are out of date. C. They are practical. D. They are attractive. 17. What does Nike’s logo stand for? A. The goddess of victory. B.The statue of the Greek goddess. C. The wing of the Greek goddess.4 D. The source of inspiration for soldiers. 18. We can learn that Apple’s present logo is________. A. a bitten apple with only one color B. the religious story of Adam and Eve C. Newton’s sitting under an apple tree D. the rainbow-colored bitten apple 19. ________ stands for the rule of the land, the sea and the air. A. Nike’s logo B. The Mercedes-Benz’s logo C. Apple’s logo D. The Adidas’ logo 20. Which of the following time orders describes the birth of the great logos? A. Mercedes-Benz—McDonald’s—Nike—Apple. B. Nike—McDonald’s—Apple—Mercedes-Benz. C. McDonald’s—Apple—Nike—Mercedes-Benz. D. Nike—Mercedes-Benz—McDonald’s—Apple. B All Ric O Barry wants is to stop the dolphin-killing, so he is headed to this seaside Japanese town, Taiji. The American activist, who is the star of a new award-winning documentary that portrays the dolphin-killing here, got an unwelcome reception when he showed up here this week for the start of the annual hunt. His movie, The Cove (海豚湾), directed by National Geographic photographer Louie Psihoyos, was released in the United States a month ago but has not yet to come out in Japan. Scenes in the film, some of which were shot secretly, show fishermen banging on metal poles stuck in the water to create a wall of sound that scares the dolphins— which have supersensitive sonar (声纳系统) —and sends them fleeing into a cove. There, the fishermen sometimes pick a few to be sold for aquarium shows, for as much as $150, 000. They kill the others, spearing the animals repeatedly until the water turns red. The meat from one dolphin is worth about 50, 000 yen, and is sold at supermarkets across Japan. Greenpeace and other groups have tried to stop the hunt for years. Activists hope The Cove will bring the issue to more people internationally—and eventually in Japan. Already, the Australian town of Broome dropped its 28-year sister-city relationship with Taiji last month, partly because of the movie. “Some regions have a tradition of eating dolphin meat,” said fisheries official Toshinori Uoya. “Dolphin-killing may be negative for our international image, but it is not something orders can5 stop.” The town government in Taiji—which has made whales and dolphins its trademark—refused to comment about The Cove, or the growing international criticism against dolphin-killing. Many in Taiji take the dolphin hunt for granted as part of everyday life. They are defensive about The Cove, seeing themselves as powerless victims of overseas pressure to end a simple and honest way of making a living. 21. Ric O Barry made The Cove because he wanted to ________. A. support Greenpeace’s efforts B. win an international award C. stop the dolphin-killing D. make Taiji well-known in the world 22. Viewers can learn from The Cove ________. A. the cruel and bloody dolphin-killing B. the beautiful Japanese seaside town Taiji C. the sale of dolphin meat around the world D. the advanced techniques to catch dolphins 23. What is the response to The Cove on the Japanese side? A. Japanese officials decided to ban dolphin-killing. B. Taiji broke up with its western sister-city Broome. C. The town government in Taiji kept silent on criticism. D. Most Japanese people were against eating dolphin meat. 24. What does the underlined word “defensive” probably mean? A. Feeling guilty for killing dolphins. B. Making the determination to change. C. Attacking those against dolphin-killing. D. Protecting themselves against criticism. 25. What can we infer from the passage? A. The Cove has not influenced Japan’s international image. B. Many people in Japan have seen The Cove in the cinema. C. Taiji’s dolphin-killing industry has been seriously damaged. D. The Cove has brought international attention to dolphin-killing. C If you discover that your credit card, cheque book, debit card or cash card is missing, telephone the credit card company or bank as soon as possible. Follow this up with a letter. If you suspect theft, tell the police as well. In most circumstances, provided you act quickly, you will not have to pay any6 bills which a thief runs up on your account. Most home insurance policies will also cover you against even this limited risk. Because plastic money is now so common, central registration schemes such as Credit Card Shield and Card Protection System exist to help customers whose cards are lost or stolen. Under the schemes you file details of all your cards—including cash cards and account cards issued by shops—with a central registry, for a small annual fee. Then, if any or all of your cards are stolen, you need to make only one phone call to the registry, which is open around the clock 365 days a year. As soon as you have called, your responsibility for any bills run up by the thief ends and the scheme’s staff make sure that all the companies whose cards you had are notified. What you stand to lose on a stolen card: CREDIT CARD You will not have to pay more than ￡50 of the bills a thief runs up with your card. If you report the loss before the card is used, you will not have to pay anything. CHEQUES AND GUARANTEE CARD Unless you have been careless—by signing blank cheques, say – you will not have to pay for any forged cheques a thief uses. The bank or shop that accepts them will have to bear the loss. DEBIT CARD (Switch or Visa Delta) The banks operate a system similar to that for credit cards, in that you are liable for bills up to ￡50. If your cash card is stolen: Legally, you can be made to pay back any sums a thief withdraws using your card, but only up to the time you report the loss and only up to ￡50, unless the bank can prove serious carelessness, such as writing your personal identification number on your card.  Never keep your card and a note of your personal number (which does not appear on the card) together.  Memorize your personal number if possible. If you must make a note of it, disguise it as something else—a telephone number, say.  The same rules and precautions apply to a credit card used as a cash card. 26. Credit Card Shield is ____________. A. an agency for finding lost or stolen cards B. an emergency telephone answering service C. a system for registering people’s card details D. an insurance company which deals with card theft 27. When contacted, the Card Protection System company will ________.7 A. ensure that lost cards are replaced B. inform the police about the loss of the card C. give details about the loss of the card to shops D. get in touch with the relevant credit card companies 28. You are fully protected by both banks and shops if you lose ________. A. a cheque that is signed but not otherwise completed B. a blank unsigned cheque C. a Switch card D. A credit card 29. If you have written your personal number on a stolen card, you may have to ______. A. pay for anything the thief buys on it B. pay up to ￡50 for any loss incurred C. change your account to a different bank D. join a different credit card protection scheme 30. What happens if your cash card is stolen? A. You may have to pay up to ￡50 of any stolen money. B. The bank stops you withdrawing money. C. You arrange for the card to be returned. D. You cannot use a cash card in future. D That was two years after her father’s death and a short time after her sweetheart—the one we believed would marry her—had deserted her. After her father’s death she went out very little; after her sweetheart went away, people hardly saw her at all. A few of the ladies had the temerity to call, but were not received, and the only sign of life about the place was the Negro man—a young man then—going in and out with a market basket. “Just as if a man—any man—could keep a kitchen properly,” the ladies said; so they were not surprised when the smell developed. It was another link between the gross, teeming world and the high and mighty Griersons. A neighbor, a woman, complained to the mayor, Judge Stevens, eighty years old. “But what will you have me do about it, madam?” he said. “Why, send her word to stop it,” the woman said. “Isn’t there a law?” “I’m sure that won’t be necessary,” Judge Stevens said. “It’s probably just a snake or a rat that nigger of hers killed in the yard. I’ll speak to him about it.”8 The next day he received two more complaints, one from a man who came in diffident deprecation. “We really must do something about it, Judge. I’d be the last one in the world to bother Miss Emily, but we’ve got to do something.” That night the Board of Aldermen met—three graybeards and one younger man, a member of the rising generation. “It’s simple enough,” he said. “Send her word to have her place cleaned up. Give her a certain time to do it in, and if she don’t...” “Dammit, sir,” Judge Stevens said, “will you accuse a lady to her face of smelling bad?” So the next night, after midnight, four men crossed Miss Emily’s lawn and slunk about the house like burglars, sniffing along the base of the brickwork and at the cellar openings while one of them performed a regular sowing motion with his hand out of a sack slung from his shoulder. They broke open the cellar door and sprinkled lime there, and in all the outbuildings. As they recrossed the lawn, a window that had been dark was lighted and Miss Emily sat in it, the light behind her, and her upright torso motionless as that of an idol. They crept quietly across the lawn and into the shadow of the locusts that lined the street. After a week or two the smell went away. That was when people had begun to feel really sorry for her. People in our town, remembering how old lady Wyatt, her great-aunt, had gone completely crazy at last, believed that the Griersons held themselves a little too high for what they really were. None of the young men were quite good enough for Miss Emily and such. We had long thought of them as a tableau, Miss Emily a slender figure in white in the background, her father a spraddled silhouette in the foreground, his back to her and clutching a horsewhip, the two of them framed by the back-flung front door. So when she got to be thirty and was still single, we were not pleased exactly, but vindicated; even with insanity in the family she wouldn’t have turned down all of her chances if they had really materialized. 31. What did the Negro man possibly do in the family? A. He was an adopted son B. He worked as a servant C. He kept the family alive D. He helped kill the snakes and rats 32. What did the lady mean by saying the underlined sentence in paragraph 2? A. It was almost impossible for men to take good care of a family B. The Negro man seemed to keep the kitchen properly C. Men were good at cleaning kitchen in a proper way D. Men were very likely to make a kitchen smelly 33. What is the attitude of Judge Stevens towards the complaints? A. He considers the complaints unreasonable9 B. He thought it was the Negro man to blame C. He remained neutral without giving suggestions D. He didn’t think much of it and believed it could be solved 34. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. Four men tried to sow something in Emily’s lawn after midnight B. Emily probably noticed some ones cross on her lawn C. The four men tried to find out where the smell came D. The smell was finally got rid of by the four men 35. What can be inferred from the last paragraph? A. Emily looked down upon all the young men B. Emily’s great aunt was driven crazy by her father C. Emily’s father had set lots of barriers for her pursuers D. Emily’s family was too distinguished to be appreciated 第二节 (共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余 选项。 When a New Yorker was hiking in Europe, his Swiss friend kept saying “Listen to that!” but he didn’t hear anything. His ears were accustomed to loud city noises and it was days before he was able to notice the sound of a bird. 36 . There is background music in restaurants, bars, stores, rest rooms, elevators, and when you are waiting on the telephone. Russell Baker blames “society’s determination to entertain you whether you like it or not”. 37 , but in practice they avoid it. They drive with the car radio turned up, switch on the television when they get home, and exercise while listening to music on headphones. 38 . They can buy things in stores, but they do not have enough human contact. So they fill their lives with sound. 39 . Young men play their car stereos loudly in order to create a personal environment around them. Like animals, they are marking a territory to warn rivals away and to attract a mate. It may also be true that the brain itself wants excitement just as the stomach insists on food. 40 . This seems extreme. Perhaps we would be better off if we sought periods of silence to provide balance. A. People may say they yearn for quiet B. Sometimes the reason for the noise is primitive C. They spend too much time in elevators and the like10 D. For most of us, silence has become a rare experience E. The noise suggests that people have a spiritual problem F.

With the warmest smiles, she rose and 41 into the aisle, offering her seat to me politely and respectably. I was wrong-footed, then conflicted. “No,” I 42 silently, holding back a laugh from within, “I come from a 43 where I do that for you.” I realized immediately what a 44 place that was. Speech failed me; I burnt with 45 . Later, I reflected that this was an act of 46 . I bowed in recognition, 47 felt I bowed with shame. I am fit, able, strong. In my head, I am 48 . She shocked me by making me so acutely aware of my 49 years. To accept the seat was to accept that 50 status—elderly, needy, requiring care— a status I was not yet 51 to acquire. To decline was to 52 an act of generosity. To turn a blind eye was to appear 53 and impolite. To explain, on a 54 bus, was impossible. The 55 situation was played out before the other passengers. What if, once I was seated, an older person 56 and no one offered a seat? Should I remain seated and burn with shame, or stand and 57 my newly received gift —a slap in the face for the kind and caring girl? 58 I took the seat, smiled and 59 my head on to my chest. The bus came to a stop. I got up, walked slowly, 60 and noisily down the aisle and out into the rain. 41. A. slid B. climbled C. stepped D. ran 42. A. screamed B. stared C. stood D. waited 43.

I could tell from her expression she wasn’t pleased to see a student worker. “What do you want me to do? Start the coffee?” I asked. Rose coldly nodded and went back to checking name tags. I filled the 40-cup pot with water and began making the coffee when Rose yelled, “That’s not13 the way to make coffee.” She stepped in and took over. Nothing I did pleased her. All morning, her eagle eyes missed nothing and her sharp words hurt. Totally exhausted, I trudged the six blocks home late that June afternoon. As a third year university student working my way through school, I had never before met anyone like Rose. Fighting back tears, I wrestled with my dilemma alone in my room. “What shall I do?” The answer caught me completely by surprise. I needed to love Rose. Working with Rose the next morning, I ignored the hurtful remarks thrown in my direction and did things Rose’s way as much as possible. As I worked, I silently began to surround Rose with a warm blanket of love. Over the next few days, an amazing thing began to happen. My focus shifted from what she was doing to me and I started seeing Rose as the hurting person she was. Then her icy tension began to melt away. Throughout the rest of the summer, we had numerous opportunities to work together. Each time, she seemed truly happy to see me. Her bitterness gave way as she started opening up. As I worked with this lonely woman, I listened to her, something no one else had done. I learned that she was burdened by elderly parents who needed her care and her own health problems. The days slipped by quickly as I finished the last several weeks of my summer job. I soon would be returning as a full-time university student and say goodbye to Rose. 注意：1. 所续写短文的词数应为 150 左右； 2. 应使用 5 个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语； 3. 续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好； 4. 续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。 Paragraph 1: One day, while I was working alone in one of the hospital kitchens, Rose entered the room.____________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2 : Although I never saw Rose again, I still remember her vividly.__________________________
