3.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.
     An apprenticeship is a form of on-the-job training that combines workplace experience and classroom learning.It can last anywhere from one to six years,but four years is typical for most.An apprentice spends the majority of the time in a workplace environment learning the practical skills of a career from a journeyman--someone who has done the job for many years.The rest of the apprentice's time is spent in a classroom environment learning the theoretical skills the career requires.Being an apprentice is a full-time undertaking.
    One of the advantages of apprenticeship is that it does not cost apprentices anything.The companies that hire them pay for school.What's more,it offers apprentices an"earn while you learn"opportunity.They usually start out at half the pay of a journeyman,and the pay increases gradually as they move further along in the job and studies.Near the end of the apprenticeship,their wages are usually 90percent of what a journeyman would receive.Apprenticeship also pays off for employers.It can offer employers a pool of well-trained workers to draw from.
    Despite the advantages,apprentices are usually required to work during the day and attend classes at night,which leaves little time for anything else.Sometimes,they might be laid off(下岗) if business for the employers is slow.
    Once they have completed the apprenticeship and become journeymen,they receive a nationally recognized and portable certification and their pay also increases again.Some journeymen continue employment with the companies they apprenticed with;others go onto different companies or become self-employed contractors.

7.There were so many nights when I,as a young boy,had to watch helplessly as my father verbally and physically abused my mother.I can still recall the smell of alcohol,see the fear in my mother's eyes,and feel the hopeless misery that comes when we see people we love hurting each other in incomprehensible ways.
I would not wish that experience on anyone,especially not a child.If I settle down in those memories,I can feel myself wanting to hurt my father back,in the same ways he hurts my mother and in ways of which I was incapable as a small boy.I see my mother's face and I see this gentle human being whom I loved so very much and who did nothing to deserve the pain imposed upon her.
When I recall this story,I realize how difficult the process of forgiving truly is.Intellectually,I know my father caused pain because he was in pain.Spiritually,I know my faith tells me my father deserves to be forgiven as God forgive us all.But it is still difficult.The sufferings we have witnessed or experienced live on in our memories.Even years later they can cause us fresh pain each time we recall them.
Are you hurt and suffering?Is the injury new,or is it an old,unhealed wound?Know that what was done to you was wrong,unfair,and undeserved.You are right to be outraged.And it is perfectly normal to want to hurt back when you have been hurt.But hurting back rarely satisfies.We think it will,but it doesn't.If I slap you after you slap me,it does not lessen the sting I feel on my own face,nor does it weaken my sadness as to the fact you have struck me.Revenge gives,at best,only momentary relief from our emotional pain.The only way to experience healing and peace is to forgive.Until we can forgive,we remain locked in our pain and locked out of the possibility of experiencing healing and freedom; locked out of the possibility of being at peace.
Without forgiveness,we remain tied to the person who harmed us.We are bound with chains of bitterness,trapped.Until we can forgive the person who harmed us,that person will hold the keys to our happiness; that person will be our jailer (监狱看守).
When we forgive,we take back control of our own fate and our feelings.We become our own liberators.Forgiveness,in other words,is the best form of self-interest.This is true both spiritually and scientifically. We don't forgive to help the other person.We don't forgive for others.We forgive for ourselves.

66.Why did the writer mention the story of his father's abuse of his mom?D
A.Because he loved his mom and wanted to fight back someday.
B.Because his father finally realized his own mistake and was forgiven.
C.Because witnessing his mom's suffering is still hurting him and has no way to relieve.
D.Because he felt that he was spiritually relieved from the pain through forgiveness.
67.The writer wrote the article in order to tell people thatA.
A.we may never heal our pains or sufferings in the heart unless we learn to forgive
B.we should never forget the sufferings buried in our hearts
C.we may get tied to the person who harmed us all through life
D.we shouldn't worry about the pains we caused,since forgiving is always easier than imagined
68.What is the 4th paragraph mainly about?A
A.Hurting back does no good to relieving one's own hurts,but forgiving.
B.If someone slaps you,you just slap back,which will lessen your pain.
C.The sufferings we have witnessed or experienced will live on in our memories for ever.
D.After being hurt,if one wants to experience healing and freedom,he should forget the hurt.
69.Which of the following statements is the closest in meaning to the underlined sentence?B
A.In order to help others,we should stop forgiving and fight back.
B.The purpose of our forgiving is not to help other people.
C.Our forgiving is also useful to helping others,though they may have hurt us.
D.Only by forgiving others can we help them to be good people.
11.New archaeological discoveries suggest that trade between Europe and Asia along the Silk Road probably began in some form many countries earlier than once thought.The findings,coupled with a widening range of scientific and historical research could add a fascinating new page to the epic of the Silk Road.
The latest and most surprising discovery is pieces of silk found in the hair of and Egyptian mummy from about 1000 BC,long before regular traffic on the Silk Road and at least one thousand years before silk was previously thought to be used in Egypt.Other research may extend human activity along this route back even further,perhaps a million years to the migration of human ancestors into eastern Asia.
The official origin of East-West commerce along the road is usually placed in the late 2nd century BC when an agent of the Chinese Emperor Wu-di returned from a dangerous secret mission across the desert into the remote high country of Central Asia.The agent,Zhang Qian,travelled as far as Afghanistan and brought back knowledge of even more distant lands such as Persia,Syria and a place known as Lijion.Historians have called this one of the most important journeys in ancient times.His journey opened the way for what have been thought to be the first indirect contacts between the ancient world's two superpowers,China and Rome.Chinese silk,first traded to central Asian tribes for war horses and to the Parthians of old Persia in exchange for acrobats and ostrich eggs,was soon finding its way through a network of merchants to the luxury markets in Rome.
But the new discoveries show that Chinese silk was apparently present in the West long before the Han emperor started organized trade over the Silk Road.The research could change thinking about the early history of world trade and provide insights into the mystery of just how and when Europe and the Mediterranean lands first became aware of the glorious culture at the other end of Eurasia.
 
74.The word"coupled"in the first paragraph could best be replaced byC.
A.produced             B.doubled           C.combined            D.contributed
75.What does the silk thread found in the hair of an Egyptian mummy suggest?A
A.That trade along the Silk Road began earlier than once thought
B.Historical research often achieves fascinating results
C.Egyptians had probably travelled to China to buy silk
D.The new light can now be thrown on ancient trading practices
76.Until recently most historians believed that trade along the Silk RoadD.
A.extended human migration into eastern Asia
B.primarily benefited the Egyptians
C.began a million years ago
D.originated in the 2nd century BC
77.Why have Historians always considered Zhang Qian's mission important?B
A.Because it discovered the Silk Road
B.Because he helped establish East-West trade
C.Because he brought back knowledge of Rome to the emperor
D.Because he travelled as far as Afghanistan.
8.I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves,most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of.In fact,I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives (观点) by creating worlds we could step into,take part in and live in.
With this unshakable belief,I,at fourteen,decided to become a writer.Here too,reading became useful.Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say,but being unable to find the right ways to say it.He has to find his own voice by reading widely to discover which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with,or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world.He cannot write without loving to read,because only through reading other people's writing can one discover what works,what doesn't and,in the end,together with lots of practice,what voice he has.
Now I am in college,and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction.As a law student,my reading is in fact limited to subject matter-the volume (量) of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else.Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life.Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own.It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road,all from the comfort of my own armchair,to experience,though secondhand,exciting experiences that I wouldn't necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.

15.[1]"Maybe when I'm 90years old,I'll get used to having everything I do taken for granted,"a young homemaker told a secret to her neighbor,"If Bill would compliment me once in a while,he'd make my life much happier."
[2]Few of us realize how much we need encouragement.Yet we must bask(沐浴于) in the warmth of approval now and then or lose our self-confidence.
[3]All of us need to feel needed and admired.But unless we hear words of praise from someone else,how can we know that we are valued friends or co-workers?
[4]Anyone who wants to improve his relationships with others need only show a sympathetic understanding.The way to express this understanding and to give others the feeling of importance and worthiness boils down to this:always look for something in the other person you can admire and praise and tell him about it.
[5]We each have a mental picture of ourselves,a self-image.To find life reasonably satisfying,that self-image must be one we can live with,one we can like.When we are proud of our self-image,we feel confident and free to be ourselves.We function at our best.When we are ashamed of our self-image,we attempt to hide it rather than express it.We become hard to get along with.
[6]A miracle happens to the person whose self-pride has been raised.He suddenly likes other people better.He is kinder and more cooperative with those around him.Praise is the polish that helps keep his self-image bright and sparkling.
[7]What has this to do with your giving praise?A lot.You have the ability to perform that kind of miracle in another person.When you add to his self-pride,you make him want to like you and to cooperate with you.
[8]In a classic bit of advice,Lord Chesterfield suggested to his son that he should follow the example of the Duke de Nivernoise:"You will recognize that he makes people pleased with him by making them first pleased with themselves."
[9]The effects of Praise can be great indeed.A new minister called to a church whose members were jokingly referred to as"a refrigerator"by other ministers decided against criticizing his people for their coolness toward strangers.Instead,he began welcoming visitors and telling them how friendly the members of the church were.Things gradually changed."Praise transformed the ice-cube members into warmhearted human beings,"he said.
