In February 2006, I flew into Beijing from Shanghai to watch a performance by Iceland’s Bjork and to interview her.
Some people find it difficult to   36   Bjork’s music.  Her sound is an acquired taste, but  37   you get into it, you’re hooked. After the   38   press conference, I was   39   to a room where we did a one-on-one   40   for radio. I was surprised at how intelligent and pleasant she was. And fun.
The   41   at Worker’s Stadium was unbelievably wonderful. Barefoot for most of the show, Bjork   42   the audience’s interest with her music and her spirit.
However, an incident gave me an impression that she was unusual and moody.
The next day I was invited to go to the Great Wall with a lot of   43   who were to take pictures of Bjork. She was with her son and did not seem to be in the   44   for the photographers. She stood and stared at the ground, not facing the   45  .

After leaving Beijing, she went on to perform in Hong Kong and Thailand. In a story that   48   around the world, she jumped on and attacked a female reporter at the Bangkok airport who   49   said, “Welcome to Thailand!”
You may have seen her at the Academy Awards a few years ago when she   50   in that usual swan costume,   51   perhaps her performance of Oceania at the opening ceremony of the 2004 Greece Olympics. Bjork does demand attention.
She’s   52   a new album, Volta. She challenges us to enter her own world with every album, and this one is no   53   .
Working with a variety of producers, including Timbaland, she takes us into her music again with an artistic   54   . It is   55   to digest, but if you can appreciate her unusual efforts, you will have a lot to get into.

How to Make the Most of Your Time
Time management is important in our daily life. There never seems to be enough hours in the day to accomplish all you need to do. Here are some tips that might be of some help to you.
1. Set up a plan. Go for a week at a time, and prioritize the most important ones. Include things you want to accomplish. Focus (關(guān)注) mostly on the things that are important to you.
2. Control your stress. No matter what kind of pressure mounts on you, try to keep cool. Stressing-out can lead to an early breakdown , which is definitely counter-productive (事與愿違) when you have a list of things to do. It’s easier to take a 10-minute break and cool off than work all week with built up stress.
3. Shut your door. When working under a schedule, perform your important tasks with your door shut to get them done. This will ensure a better quality time to get what needs to be done.
4. Focus on one thing at a time. Forget trying to multi-task! You will lose concentration and it will take you longer to accomplish what you set out to do.
5. Just say “no”. If you are constantly interrupted, and you really don’t have the time to help out, just say “no”. You’re only one person, and you can’t save the world by yourself!
6. Stop wasting time on the phone. While talking on the phone, keep your conversations short, and to the point and you’ll waste much less time.
7. Be realistic. You can only do what you can do. Don’t set out to accomplish the impossible. Do your best, but keep realistic expectations of yourself.
8. Relax. The most important thing is remember to take time to relax, and regroup. You need a break every now and then to keep working efficiently. Even if it’s a 10-minute walk, get away from your list and get refreshed.
As families today get busier and busier, it’s important to your own mental health to keep things on track. Don’t delay; get your life on order now.
48. What does the underlined word “prioritize” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. choose something by thinking carefully.
B. recognize the difference between things.
C. put many things in order of importance
D. get rid of something that is unwanted
We should avoid stressing out because ________________.
A. it may cause us to fail to work efficiently
B. it may limit the speed to get things done
C. we don’t have enough energy to keep working
D. we are supposed to have a break while working
50. Which statement would the author agree to?
A. Try multi-tasks, and we can get more done.
B. It is impolite to refuse to help others at work.
C. Having breaks regularly may delay our tasks.
D. It is wise to be aware of what we can achieve.
51. By writing the text, the author would like to _______________.
A. ask readers to share their time management skills.
B. offer some advice on how to make full use of time
C. invite readers to discuss how to improve life quality
D. persuade readers to spend less time on daily routine

I love exploring new places. Whether I travel across America or around the world,a new adventure is always waiting. What I don’t always enjoy is the time spent 9,000 meters(30,000 feet)in the air. Tight spaces, long hours, and unexpected-problems can make air travel stressful. Follow these six tips to make your next flight a braze.
1. Make a checklist. Before you pack,make a checklist of everything you need and mark item off as you put them in your bag. Be sure you include important documents, such as your passport.
2. Pack light. You don’t need to pack your whole closet. Choose clothes that mix and match for more variety. Wear your largest shoes on the place to save room in your bag. And pack a few old items that you can leave behind to make more room for souvenirs(紀(jì)念品) on the way home.
3. Carry on essential (基本的)items. Unfortunately, dependable baggage service is hard to come by. When you fly, be sure to pack your medicine, important documents, and a change of clothes in your carry-on bag.
4. Pack water and snacks. No one wants to get stuck on a runway for hours without food, water. But bad weather or mechanical problems could leave you stranded(進(jìn)退兩難的). Pack water and crackers in your carry-on. But leave fresh foods at home. Most countries won’t allow you to bring them across their borders.
5. Stretch your legs. More and more travelers suffer from blood clots caused by sitting too long in tight spaces. You can help prevent this problem by doing stretches in your seat taking short walks every hour.
6. Entertain yourself. A long trip can either mean hours of boredom or an exciting adventure. Plan ahead to keep yourself busy with books,magazines and portable CD player. Just don’t forget to bring extra batteries.
Research airlines before you book your reservations. For just a few dollars more,some airlines offer personal entertainment systems. Singapore Air gives you nearly 70 choices of movies,music channels, and other entertainment!
With a little planning ahead,you’ll be able to sit back and enjoy the ride.
68. It is advised by the writer in this passage to _____ for your flight.
A. pack all the things you will need    B. leave your important documents behind

Unusual incidents are being reported across the Arcitc. Inuit(因紐特人)families going off on snowmobiles to prepare their summer hunting camps have found themselves cut off from home by a sea of mud .There are also reports of sea ice breaking up earlier than usual, carrying seals beyond the reach of hunters. Climate change may still be a rather abstract idea to most of us ,but in the Arctic it is already having great effects –if summertime ice continues to shrink at its present rate ,the Arctic Ocean could soon become almost ice-free in summer .The knock –on effects are likely to include more warming, cloudier skies ,and higher sea levels .Scientists are increasingly eager to find out what’s going on in the Arctic.
For the Inuit the probkm is mgent. They live in unsteady baiance with one of the toughest environments on earth. Climate change, whatever its causes, is a direct danger to their way of life. Nobody knows the Arctic as well as the locals, which is why they are not content simply to stand back and let outsider experts tell them what’s happening. In Canada, where the Inuit people are trying hard to guard their hard-won autonomy in the country’s newest land, Nunavut, they believe their best hope of survival in this changing environment lies in combining their ancestral knowledge with the best of modern science. This is challenge in itself.
The Canadian Arctic is a vast , treeless polar desert that’s covered with snow for most of the year. Adventure into this area and you get some idea of the hardships facing anyone who calls this home. Farming is out of the question and nature offers few pickings. Humans first settled in the Arctic a mere 4,500 years ago, surviving by taking advantage of sea fist. The environment tested them to the limits: sometimes the settlers were successful, sometimes they failed and disappeared. But around a thousand years ago, one group appeared that was uniquely well adapted to deal with the Arctic environment. These Thule people moved in from Alaska, bringing dogs, iron tools and the like. They are the ancestors of today’s Inuit people.
67.Which of the following is not likely to be the effect of climate change?
A.Shorter and shorter summertime.
B.Ice-free summer around the Arctic.
C.Higher sea levels.
D.More dloudy skies.
68.The Inuit people believe the solution to the climate change problem is______.
A.to change their way of life
B.to use their ancestral knowledge
C.to make the best of modem science
D.to use their ancestral knowledge and modern science
69.It can be concluded from the last paragraph that______.
A.the first settlers in the Arctic survived by taking advantage of sea fish
B.it’s hard to farm in the Arctic due to the climate change
C.the ancestors of Inuit people stood out among the settlers
D.the Thule people from Alaska invented iron tools
70.Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
A.Climate change and the Inuit
B.Climate change around the Arctic
C.Global warming around the world
D.The Inuit and their ancestors around the world

閱讀下列短文,從每篇短文后所給各題的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項,并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
“Tell me, Wally,” my amazed friend asked the driver, “have you always served customers like this?”
Wally smiled into the back-view mirror.
“No, not always. In fact, it’s only been in the last two years. My first five years driving, I spent most of my time complaining like all the rest of the taxi drivers do. Then I heard the personal growth of Wayne Dyer, on the radio one day. He had just written a book called You’ll See It When You Believe It. Dyer said that if you get up in the morning expecting to have a bad day, you’ll rarely disappoint yourself. He said, ‘Stop complaining! Distinguish yourself from your competition. Don’t be a duck. Be an eagle. Ducks quack and complain. Eagles fly high above the crowd.’”
“That hit me right between the eyes. Dyer was really talking about me. I was always quacking and complaining, so I decided to change my attitude and become an eagle. I looked around at the other taxis and their drivers. The taxis were dirty, the drivers were unfriendly, and the customers were unhappy. So I decided to make some changes. I put in a few at a time. When my customers responded well, I did more.”
“I take it that has paid off for you,” I said.
“It sure has,” Wally replied. “My first year as an eagle, I doubled my income from the previous year. This year I’ll probably quadruple(增四倍) it. You were lucky to get me today. I don’t sit at taxi-stands anymore. My customers call me for appointments on my cell phone or leave a message on my answering machine. If I can’t pick them up myself, I get a trustworthy friend to do it and I take a piece of the action.”
Wally was phenomenal. He was running a first-class service out of a Yellow Taxi.
I’ve probably told that story to more than fifty taxi drivers over the years, and only two took the idea and ran with it. Whenever I go to their cities, I give them a call. The rest of the drivers quacked like ducks and told me all the reasons they couldn’t do any of what I was suggesting.
Wally, the Taxi Driver, made a different choice.
51.   The underlined word “phenomenal” means ______.
A.easy-going           B.warm-hearted      C.flexible              D.remarkable
52.   Wally doesn’t park his taxi at taxi-stands just because _______.
A.his income doubles.
B.his taxi is usually fully booked
C.he has a company of his own.
D.he has a look of a disgusting eagle
53.   Wally’s income doubled when he improved his service about ______.
A.one year ago                                        B.two years ago
C.five years ago                                       D.seven years ago
54.   After reading the passage we may draw a safe conclusion that ______.
A.kindness must be rewarded
B.it’s easy to say but hard to do
C.good service pays off in the end
D.the early bird catches the worm
