Passage Five
On a Saturday night, Mr. Jones went to Willington and got so drunk at the Red Lion that he did not come back till midday on Sunday. His four men had milked the cows in the early morning and then had gone out hunting, without bothering (麻烦) to feed the animals.
When Mr. Jones got back, he immediately went to sleep on the living-room sofa with the News of the World over his face, so that when evening came, the animals were still not fed. At last, they could stand no longer. One of the cows broke into the door of the store-house with her horns (角) and all the animals began to help themselves to the grains.
It was just then that Mr. Jones woke up. And the men came back. The next moment he and his four men were in the store-house with whips in their hands, whipping (鞭打) in all directions. This was more than the hungry animals would bear. Together, they jumped upon their masters. Mr. Jones and his men suddenly found themselves being struck with their horns and kicked from all sides. The situation was quite out of their control. A minute later all five of them were in full fright down the road, with the animals running after them joyfully.
51. Which of the following is TRUE according to the story？
A. Willington was the name of a hotel.
B. Red Lion was the name of a restaurant.
C. News of the World was a TV programme.
D. Mr. Johns went back home at night.

Task 1 Being a salesman, the most important thing is to understand people. You've got to know what they're thinking. If you can figure that out, you can get them to do a lot. They come in with an idea about what they want. You get them talking about themselves, about what they like. If it's man, you talk about football or something like that. If it's woman, you ask her about fashions. That way they get comfortable with you. You ask them a lot of questions and get them saying yes. Then they just get into the habit of saying yes. In the end, you can put them into anything you want, if you're really good. For example, if they need a little car for the city; you send them home a truck. Of course, I wouldn't really do that. It wouldn't be right. You've got to sell on this job but you also have to be fair. It's not fair to take advantage of people too much. There are some people in this business who’d do anything. But don't believe in that. 26.To be a good salesman, the most important thing is to________.
A、learn from different kinds of people
B、understand what people are thinking
C、see what people usually do in daily life
D、watch what changes people have made

The findings of those statisticians' successors -- that poor children are more likely to fail at school, poor adults to commit crimes and die young, and so on -- are nowadays uncontroversial. And policymakers mostly avoid metaphysics (形而上学). Instead, they try to break such links by spending to "end child poverty" and by targeting health and education initiatives on the neediest. Yet such attempts are doomed to disappoint, because they conceive of each social ill in isolation, rather than treating their shared root cause. Moreover, they misidentify that cause: it is not poverty as such, but inequality.
The evidence, here painstakingly collected, is hard to dispute. Within the rich world, countries where incomes are more evenly distributed have longer-lived citizens and lower rates of fatness, misbehavior. and teenage pregnancy than richer countries where wealth is more concentrated. Studies of British civil servants find that senior ones enjoy better health than their immediate subordinates, who in turn do better than those further down the ladder.
And the evidence is that the differences in status cause these "gradients (梯度)". Low-status Indian children do worse on tests if they must state their identities beforehand. High-status monkeys grew up in captivity(囚禁) show increased levels of stress hormones and become iii more often when they are moved to groups where they no longer dominate.
What to do about this sickness caused by other people's wealth？ Increasing taxes on the rich, or smaller , differences in pay in the first place, say the authors, citing Sweden and Japan as instances of the two choices. A decade ago even left-wing politicians were "intensely relaxed about people getting rich". Now, as it becomes clearer that some of the rich got that way by theft, the idea that they have also caused injury more subtly will gain a readier hearing.
Too ready, perhaps: what if the price of greater equality is lower growth？ The .received wisdom is that rich rewards are necessary to stimulate the innovation on which growth depends. "No loss", say the authors," We have got close to the end of what economic growth can do for us." But that is a claim that needs to be supported, rather than simply made in a few sentences. If our ancestors had declared themselves thus satisfied, we would be without many things that we value -- and that they would have valued too, could they have imagined them. Should we be ready to give up joys we have never known？
What can we learn about statisticians' findings on the poor in the passage？
A．It is controversial for it destroys the reputation of the poor.
B．It may be caused by a deep social phenomenon--inequality.
C．They are individual tales with no regularities and special meaning.
D．They totally change the previous rules of social scientists.

The Sahara Desert
The Sahara Desert is the largest desert in the world. It stretches across Africa from Senegal to Egypt. The Sahara Desert is an unfriendly environment. During the day it"s very hot， and at night it"s sometimes very cold. It is also difficult to find water in the Sahara.
In 2006， Kevin Lin， Ray Zahab， and Charlie Engle decided to do something very difficult.
They made the decision to run across the Sahara Desert 4，300 miles （6，920krn）. It seemed impossible to do， but they wanted to try. The three men liked to test themselves， and this would be a very big test.
On the morning of November 2， Kevin， Ray， and Charlie started their trip across the Sahara.
Every morning they began running at 5:00. At 11 a.m. they stopped and rested until 5 p.m. Then they ran again until 9:30 in the evening. Each day they ran about 40 miles （64 km）. Every day it was the same thing. They got up and ran. They listened to music on their iPods， and they ran and ran.
Kevin， Ray， and Charlie needed to eat a lot of food during their trip. Most people need about 2，000 calories of food each day. Kevin， Ray， and Charlie needed between 6，000 and 9，000 calories every day. That"s a lot of food! They also needed to drink a lot of water.
The three men had some problems on their trip， and many times they wanted to quit and go home. It was often very hot （140~F/60~C） during the day， and the heat made them sick. Their legs and feet hurt. Sometimes it was very windy， and they couldn"t see. One time they got lost. But they didn"t quit. After 111 days， Kevin， Ray; and Charlie successfully finished their trip across the Sahara Desert. They hugged each other and put their hands in the water of the Red Sea. Then they ran to a hotel to take a long shower.
It‘s not always hot in the Sahara Desert. 查看材料

e control. It seems a dream in the future. It isn't.
In many ways such driverless cars are already with us. There is partial automation in many cars, such as intelligent braking, lane departure warning and automatic parking. The systems are there {A; B; C} cars can pretty much drive themselves. No one noticed the introduction of cruise control. We've got collision avoidance, and we'll soon have automatic lane change.

They can effectively “slipstream” one another and use less fuel to move themselves forward. They can even form. multi-car “trains” going {A; B; C} high speeds. However, with driverless cars on the roads, there will be potential trust issues between people and machines. We could therefore see guard rails back on the sides of pavements.
