13、h the roof. The wooden staircase burned out, _22_ (trap) all those inside and forcing many to jump out of the windows _23_ (escape) the flames, local fire chief Peter Friedrich told reporters.“The staircase was nothing _24_ a pile of ashes. People were escaping _25_ the windows even before we arrive
14、d at the scene. Adults jumped out of the windows and threw children out to save their lives,” Friedrich said. “Eight people died in the flames, while the ninth passed away in hospital. 60 people were rescued from the building and 35 were rushed to hospital. Three people were in a serious condition b
15、ut their lives were not in danger. _26_ was a child who had suffered smoke inhalation（吸入）and the other two adults who _27_ (injure) when they leapt from the _28_ (burn) building.”Friedrich said among those _29_ (rescue) were two children _30_ were found cowering （蜷缩）behind a couch in a flame-filled
16、room. Television news showed images of one of _31_ in blackened clothes being taken out of the apartment building. The mayor of Ludwigshaven, Eva Lohse, said the fire was _32_ (bad) the city had seen since World War II. “The terrible images of the child being brought out of the flames will remain wi

18、information G. invite H. employees I. impressive J. vividly K. commonTo advertise effectively today, you must abandon the old-school idea of “reaching the masses”. All advertising is local and personal. The key to effective advertising today is to focus on the individual.Some are the _33_ ways every
19、 advertiser could work out. You can print a specific offer of your goods or service on door-hangers and place them on doorknobs in your area. Door-hangers on doorknobs will produce results in direct _34_about the strength of your offer. If you need to reach the drivers, flyer (宣传单) under windshield
20、(挡风玻璃) wipers may have better effect than door-hangers. Imagine, how _35_if you hire someone to be a walking ad or launch a T-shirt advertising, that is, you can print your products on T-shirts of your _36_. In the early 1970s “Hamp Baker says Drive with Care” was spray-painted on cars, which was a
21、public service ad. Ever since, spray-painted sign has become more and more popular.More grand ways are as follows: virtual showroom. Build a website to serveas a virtual showroom. Use it when people call to ask detailsabout your company, your products or your services. Also you can even use an old s
22、lide projector to put on a nighttime show. Theyre _37_effective, and in the long run, cheap. Nothing is quite as powerful as a public performancethat seizes the publics attention. You can _38_ a band to give a performance. Moreover, you can hire famous models to show it _39_.Nothing screams “expert”
23、 quite as loudly as a book written about a subject. You simply cant imaginethe power of your name on the cover of a book. You might only sell a few copies online, but the copies you give away in your town will make you a fortune. You wont make money on the book. Youll make it because of the book.Of
24、course, word-of-mouth is the best way to _40_ your business. Friends and past customers recommend your products to their family, friends and _41_. Word-of-mouth works because the _42_is based on previous positive experiences.III. Reading ComprehensionSection A (10%)Directions: For each blank in the
25、following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.British men are abandoning their stiff（僵硬的）upper lips but still do not express their feeling openly like Americans, a research shows. When it comes to strong
26、emotion, the once _43_ British are now happy to cry quite openly. Thirty percent of all British males have cried in the last month. That is a very high figure, said Peter Marsh, director of the Social Issues Research Center. Only two percent said they could not remember when then they last cried, th
27、e head of the research group said. Long gone is the No _44_ - Were British time when emotion was considered a _45_ form. Among 2,000 people, very few people in their forties or fifties had seen their _46_ cry. Now it is twice as many, he told reporters. Seventy-seven percent of men considered crying
28、 in public increasingly _47_. Almost half the British men opened the floodgates over a bad movie, book or TV program. Self-pity got 17 percent crying. Nine percent cried at weddings. Form the days of Empire, the British have always considered themselves models of reserve（矜持）, _48_ excitable foreigne
29、rs who show no _49_.Marsh argued the _50_ was still there: We have probably not caught up with the Americans or the Italians when it comes to the actual display of emotions But we are clearly _51_. What we take as typical British reserve has been significantly disappeared. Womens battle for equal ri
30、ghts has certainly had an effect - both in the workplace and at home. Men in their twenties or thirties are interacting with women on equal terms much more so than a generation ago. They have to relate to the opposite sex .Women become more man -like and men become more female. That transfers into t
31、he _52_ too, Marsh said.43. A. helplessB. coolC. seriousD. speechless44. A. TearsB. SmokingC. ExcitementD. Doubt45. A. commonB. preferredC. badD. crazy46. A. neighbourB. partnerC. motherD. father47. A. unwiseB. unavoidableC. availableD. acceptable48. A. laughing atB. interested inC. looking jealousl

33、is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)One day, Anna was about to walk into her office, when the headmaster, Mr. Hen
34、ry stopped her.“Now,” he said, “I want you to tell me the truth, my dear.” “Naturally,” said Anna shortly, fearing that something terrible had happened. “I have had a most serious accusation（控告）made against you by Mrs. Bond.” “Mrs. Bond?” said Anna, not understanding. Janet Bond was a quiet, little
35、mouse of a child. As far as Anna could remember，she had never had cause to speak an angry word to the girl. “Mrs. Bond,” went on Mr. Henry, “tells me that you scolded her daughter yesterday afternoon.” “Scolded?” cried Anna. “I dont scold. At least not in school,” she added honestly. “Mrs. Bonds sto
36、ry is that Janet was a little late back to school in the afternoon. She said that the child had to spend some time in the bathroom, which meant she set out from home a little late.” “Just a minute,” said Anna, beginning to understand. “She did come late, very late. I had marked her absent, of course
37、. Then she wandered in, when wed started our paper-cutting, and I believe I said she was a nuisance（讨厌的人）. She didnt appear to hear, and was certainly quite cheerful.” “Ah, a nuisance.” Mr. Henry jumped on the word. “Youre sure you only said a nuisance.” “I may not even have said that,” Anna replied
38、. “It was no more than slight displeasure that I felt and I certainly didnt scold.”? “Mrs. Bond said that you called her child a blasted（该死的）nuisance. Is that true?”“Indeed it isnt,” said Anna, “The child or the mother has made it up!” Mr. Henry was satisfied with Annas explanation. “Just as I thoug
39、ht, my dear, but of course I had to make sure.”53.

41、ruel C. trustworthy D.bad(B)When I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mothers Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to und
42、erstand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her. My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she. I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I
43、 had to call her stockbroker. I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs. Tan.”And my mother was standing beside me, whispering loudly, “Why he dont send me check, already two week late.” And then, in perfect English I said: “Im getting rather concerned. You agreed to s
44、end the check two weeks ago, but it hasnt arrived.”Then she talked more loudly. “What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I cant tolerate any more excuse. If I dont receive the check immediately, I am going to have to speak to your mana
45、ger when I am in New York next week.”The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs. Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.When I was a teenager, my mothers broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my moth
46、ers English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.57. Why was the authors mother poorly served?A. She was unable to speak good English.B. She was often misunderstood.C. She was not clearly heard.D. She was not very polite.58. From Paragraph 2, we know that the author was _
