3.We've all had that moment when we are in the middle of sorting old clothes,or walking down the street and passing a restaurant,or someone hugs you and their pleasant smell go slightly and you're instantly transported to a past memory or you feel an emotional response to that smell.
For me,the smell of bubble bath will always make me think of long soaps in the big claw-footed bath and my grandma's house in the UK!If this sounds like you too,there is a reason for it.Psychologist Sabina Read explains,"Fragrance is commonly linked to our mood and behavior via learned emotional responses associated with smells and past experiences.If we smell roses while visiting a sick loved one in hospital,the smell may arouse sadness or grief (哀伤); however if we first smell roses after giving birth,we will most likely associate that smell with feelings of joy and love.Therefore fragrance plays a powerful role in mood and emotion across our life."
And it's this understanding which Imperial Leather has used in creating their new fragrance range.The brand undertook a survey of 2,200Australians on fragrances and smells---and some of the results might surprise you.
*A huge 97percent of people feel more confident just by wearing a fragrance.
*Women feel most attractive wearing a floral (花香的) scent.
*Floral fragrances are the most attractive scent with men voting it as their favorite scent for a partner.
*Over half the nation,51percent,have used the same fragrance for five years or more.

13.I've often wondered if I might do more good as a travel agent rather than as a psychologist.It seems that I have been more dramatically affected by certain kinds of travel experiences than I ever have.
My trip to Iceland is a fine example of that.The plan was to spend two days in a remote mountain hut in Iceland.I was working on a photographic book about winter in Iceland and needed to capture images of this amazing region of high mountain peaks,smoky volcanoes,and lakes with floating icebergs.
The moment after we arrived,the weather turned extreme making visibility impossible.It snowed so much and the wind blew so hard that we couldn't leave the tiny hut.To stay warm,we walked around in circles much of the day inside the tiny hut.We tried to call for help but the radio did not work.Day after day,we watched our supplies of food and fuel grow dangerously short.We got acute cabin fever (幽居病) and started going for walks and ski expeditions outside.Even when the weather finally broke,nobody came to get us even though it was three days beyond our scheduled pickup.By the time the rescue team came to pull us out,we had all given up hope.
From then on,the world looks different to me,as does my life.It would have taken me years of psychotherapy to get to the same point.
Almost everyone has a story to tell,and interestingly,most of these experiences were not altogether pleasant at the time.In fact,it appears that the most constructive life-changing journeys were those that involved some sorts of awful and uncomfortable events that forced the person to develop new resources,increase confidence,and solve problems in new ways.

21.The writer went to Iceland toB.
A.enjoy the natural beautiful floating icebergs
B.take photos about the region for a book
C.collect materials for psychological research
D.challenge the high mountains there
22.During the trip in Iceland,those travelers faced difficulties EXCEPT thatA
A.they got lost in the mountain
B.they were short of food and fuel
C.they couldn't see the surroundings clearly
D.they failed to get in touch with the rescue team
23.From Paragraph 3,we learn that the travelersA.
A.were in despair before they were rescued
B.stayed in the hut for three days altogether
C.got sick because of going for ski outside
D.got rescued immediately the weather turned fine
24.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?D
A.The writer is a travel agent who loves difficult challenges.

11.The Touchstone
    When the great library of Alexandria burned,the story goes,one book was saved.But it was not a valuable book; and so a poor man,who could read little,bought it for very little money.
The book wasn't very interesting,but between its pages there was something very interesting indeed.It was a thin strip of vellum on which was written the secret of the"Touchstone"!The touchstone was a small pebble that could turn any common metal into pure gold.
The writing explained that it was lying among thousands and thousands of other pebbles that looked exactly like it.But the secret was this:The real stone would feel warm,while ordinary pebbles are cold.
So the man sold his few belongings,bought some simple supplies,camped on the seashore,and began testing pebbles.He knew that if he picked up ordinary pebbles and threw them down again because they were cold,he might pick up the same pebble hundreds of times.So,when he felt one that was cold,he threw it into the sea.He spent a whole day doing this but none of them was the touchstone.Yet he went on and on this way.Pick up a pebble.Cold-throw it into the sea.Pick up another.Throw it into the sea.Pick up another.Throw it into the sea.The days continued over a long period if time.
One day,however,about mid-afternoon,he picked up a pebble and it was warm.He threw it into the sea before he realized what he had done.He had formed such a strong habit of throwing each pebble into the sea that when the one he wanted came along he still threw it away.
    So it is with opportunity.Unless we are cautious,it's easy to fail to recognize an opportunity when it is in hand and it's just as easy to throw it away.
59.The man bought the book because.A
A.he wanted to read it
B.it was very interesting
C.there was a secret in the book  
D.he wanted to find the touchstone
60.We can learn from the passage that the touchstone is.C

A.Because he didn't want to get the same pebbles.
B.Because he didn't want others to pick them up.
C.Because he didn't like their ordinary looks.
D.Because he didn't like the cold feelings.
62.What does the author want to tell us in the passage?C
A.We about orate opportunities in our life.
B.We should seek for opportunities in the world.
C.We may seize opportunities when we are watchful
D.We may discover opportunities when forming habits.
8.Students from Florida International University in Miami walked on water Thursday for a class assignment.To do it,they wore aquatic (水上的)shoes they designed and created.
Alex Quinones was the first to make it to the other side of a 175-foot lake on campus in record time-just over a minute.Quinones,who wore oversized boat-like shoes,also won last year and will receive﹩500.Students had to wear the aquatic shoes and make it across the lake in order to earn an"A"on the assignment for Architecture Professor Jaime Canaves,Materials and Methods Construction Class."It's traditional in a school of architecture to do boats out of cardboard for a boat race.I thought our students were a little bit more special than that,"Canaves said."We decided to do the walk on water event to take it to the next level."
A total of 79students competed in the race this year in 41teams.Only 10teams failed to cross the lake.Others who fell got back up and made it to the end.The race is open to all students and anyone in the community.The youngest person to ever participate was a 9-year-old girl who competed in place of her mother,while the oldest was a 67-year-old female.
A large crowd on campus joined Canaves as he cheered on the racers.He shouted encouraging words,but also laughed as some unsteadily made their way to the end.
"A part of this is for them to have more understanding of designing and make it work better,"he said.It is also a lesson in life for the students.
"Anything,including walking on water,is possible,if you do the research,test it and go through the design process seriously."

32.For what purpose did the students take part in the race?C
A.To go across the lake to school.
B.To test their balance on the water.

15.Andy Steele lives just a few blocks from the campus of Black Hills State University in Spearfish,S.D.,so commuting(经常往返) to class isn't the problem.But he doesn't like lectures much,isn't a morning person,and wants time during the day to restore motorcycles.
So Steele,a full-time senior business major,has been taking as many classes as he can from the South Dakota State system's online offerings.He gets better grades and learns more,he says,and insists he isn't missing out on the college experience.
"I still know a lot of people from my first two years living on campus,and I still meet a lot of people,"he says.But now,he sets his own schedule.
At least 2.3million people took some kind of online courses,according to a recent survey by the Sloan Consortium,an online education group,and two-thirds of colleges offering"face-to-face"courses also offer online ones.But what were once two different types of classes are looking more and more alike and often falling into the same pool of students.
At some schools,online courses originally intended for non-traditional students living far from campus have proved surprisingly popular with on-campus students.A recent study found 42percent of the students enrolled in its distance education courses were located on campus at the university that was hosting the online courses.
Numbers vary depending on the policies of particular colleges,but other schools also have students mixing and matching online and"face-to-face"credits.Motives range from lifestyle to adapting to a job schedule to getting into high-demand courses.
Washington State had about 325on-campus undergraduates taking one or more distance courses last year.As many as 9,000students took both distance and in-person classes at Arizona State last year.
"Business is really about providing choices to their customers,and that's really what we want to do,"said Sheila Aaker,extended services coordinator (协调人) at Black Hills State.
Many schools,such as Washington State and Arizona State,let departments and academic units decide who can take an online course.They say students with legitimate academic needs-a conflict with another class,a course they need to graduate that is full-often get permission,though they still must take some key classes in person.
21.What is the purpose of the passage?D
A.To introduce Steele to us,who prefers online courses.
B.To tell us about the development of campus courses.
C.To show the differences between campus courses and online courses.
D.To show more on-campus students are taking online courses.
22.We can learn from the passage that Andy SteeleC.
A.lives far from the campus   B.knows none of his classmates
C.wants to have his own lifestyleD.doesn't get good marks
23.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?B
A.The undergraduates attend the online courses for different purposes.
B.It is expected that distance education is popular with on-campus students.
C.About 325on-campus undergraduates took online courses in Washington last year.
D.Different colleges have different policies about online courses.
24.From what Sheila Aaker said in the passage,we can tellD.
A.business is the most popular major in universities
B.colleges should provide more majors for students
C.where the similarity between business and colleges lies
D.why colleges offer online courses to on-campus students.
12.In today's fiercely competitive business environment,companies need to communicate information concerning a whole range of issues in a clear and precise manner to their customers.This is particularly so in the case of companies which do business in areas such as manufacturing,information technology (IT),engineering products and services-companies whose products and services may not be understood by a customer not familiar with its technical aspects.
These communication materials are prepared in a company these days by"technical writers"-people who can effectively communicate to an intended audience.
Technical writing and writing text-books are poles apart.The former is aimed at those who do not have an in-depth knowledge about a product and therefore should be direct and easy to understand.Too many technical terms would only add to the confusion of the customer.Technical writers first need to understand the technical information themselves,before trying to communicate it in easier language to the customers.Even graduates of English literature are often found wanting when it comes to creative and effective writing.
This simply means that those with a Bachelor's degree in English Literature along with a  diploma/degree in Journalism and having a Post Graduate Diploma in Computer Applications (PGDCA) are ideal (理想的) candidates for being employed as technical writers.
A career in technical writing is seen as a good choice for women mainly because it is widely held that women are more gifted in creative writing than men and the job does not involve too much travelling or working at night.
28.What are"technical writers"supposed to do?A
A.To write about the company's products or services in clear,easy language.
B.To write about the company's products using correct technical terms.
C.To effectively communicate to an intended audience by writing letters.
D.To travel around to persuade people to buy the company's products or services.
29.Which of the following best explains the underlined word"wanting"in Paragraph 3?D
A.being needed.        
B.wanting to write.
C.hoping to be employed.    
D.lacking in ability.
30.What would happen if many technical terms are used in technical writing?C
A.It would sound too formal.    
B.It would help engineers a lot.
C.It would confuse the customer.
D.It would produce a better effect.
31.Who would be the best candidate for a technical writer?B
A.A man with degrees in English literature and Journalism and a PGDCA.
B.A female with degrees in English literature and Journalism and a PGDCA.
C.A male graduate of English literature with a diploma in Journalism.
D.A woman with a degree in English literature along with a diploma in Journalism.
7.Some animals will defend their territory by fighting with those who try to invade it.Fighting,however,is not often the best choice,since it uses Some animals will defend their territory by fup a large amount of energy,and can result in injury or even death.Most animals rely on various threats,either through sounds or smells.The songs of birds,the drumming of woodpeckers and the lous calls of monkeys are all warnings that carry for long distances,advertising to possible invaders that someone else's territory is being approached.Many animals rely on smells to mark their territories or leaving droppings around the territories.Other animals will be warned off the territory without ever meeting with the territory's defender.

Actual fighting usually only happens in overcrowded conditions,when resources are not enough.Serious injury can result,and old or sick animals may die.Leading to a more balanced population size.Under most natural conditions,territoriality is an effective way of maintaining a healthy population.The study of social behaviors such as territoriality in animals may also help up to understand human society.
