11．According to a report，more than a million workers will fail to take their full annul leave（年假） this year in UK．That's to say，totally，those workers will give up 6.2million days of vacation，with an average of five days for each worker．For their employers，they feel happy because that is equal to a potential﹩500million of‘free'work，which，according to an economist will boost（使增長） the output of the economy by about two percent．
The report also showed that the main reasons employees give up their remaining annul leave are due to pressures at work and their failing to appreciate that taking a break could make them more productive and，in turn，boost the economy in the long term．
The research，done by price comparison website Travel Supermarket，found that more than one in four of those who will give up their remaining holidays （28percent） will do so due to pressures at work．Bob Atkinson，travel expert for Travel Supermarket said："As the economy is not so satisfying，it's no surprise that people are cautious to take all their leave，especially if they feel stressed and uncertainty at work．"Nine percent of the 2，020people surveyed also said they would feel guilty about taking the leave because their work would have to be taken care of by their colleagues．A further three percent said they would be concerned about how taking time off would look to their employer，while the same percentage said they did not want to miss anything interesting or beneficial at work in the time they would be away．
Vicky Redwood，chief UK economist at Capital Economics，said："Suppose that there are about 250working days in a year，getting an extra five‘free'days of work from their employees could in theory boost the output of  the economy by about two percent．On the other hand，if workers are less productive as a result of not getting enough breaks from work，taking all the annual leave，in fact，will perhaps increase the economy．"

41．According to the report，in UK more than a million workersD．
A．will not ask for leave in their working days
B．will take five days leave on average
C．will work 500million days freely for their employers

B．They don't realize that they will be more productive after taking a break．
C．They are busy and have no time because they have a lot of work to do．
D．They don't think it proper to have their work taken care of by their colleagues．
43．According to the report above，three percent of the people don't take all their holiday leave becauseA．
A．they are worried about their employer's view on their taking holidays
B．they are under great pressure from the work
C．they are afraid of being found by their employers while taking holidays
D．they worry about losing their jobs after taking holidays
44．From what Vicky Redwood said，we can infer thatB．
A．employees'extra five days of work will certainly boost the output of the economy by about two percent．
B．not getting enough breaks from work may cause workers less productive
C．in order to boost output in the economy，employees should give up some holidays
D．the more leave the employees take，the better the economy will become
45．The passage is mainly aboutB．
A．a(chǎn) report about how the workers in UK take their holidays
B．the fact that one million employees in UK don't take all their annual leave
C．how the pressures at work affect the workers in UK
D．reasons why employees give up their right to take holidays．

1．Although Paris is often considered the city of romance，close to a million adults who call it home are single．Many single people say that France's capital is one of the most difficult places to meet people．The complaints（抱怨）of this lonely group have inspired a new phenomenon known as"supermarket dating．"At Galerie Lafayette Gourmet，singles can shop for more than just the items on their grocery list．They can look for someone who has blue eyes，brown hair，and is 1.8 meters tall，or whatever may be on their romantic shopping list．
At this paris location，single people of all ages can schedule their shopping for Thursday nights between 6：30 and 9：00 p．m．When they walk through the door，they pick up a purple basket to advise that they are looking for love．They try to arrive early because the baskets disappear quickly，and then they have to wait in line for their turn to wander the store aisles（過道）．

2．Some children are natural-born bosses．They have a strong need to make decisions，manage their environment，and lead rather than follow．Stephen Jackson，a Year One student，"operates under the theory of what's mine is mine and what's yours is mine，"says his mother．"The other day I bought two new Star Wars light sabers（劍）．Later，I saw Stephen with the two new ones while his brother was using the beat-up ones．"
"Examine the extended family，and you'll probably find a bossy grandparent，aunt，uncle or cousin in every generation．It's an inheritable trait，"says Russell Barkley，a professor at the Medical University of South Carolina．Other children who may not be particularly bossy can gradually gain dominance（支配地位） when they sense their parents are weak，hesitant，or in disagreement with each other．
Whether it's inborn nature or developed character at work，too much control in the hands of the young isn't healthy for children or the family．Fear is at the root of a lot of bossy behavior，says family psychologist John Taylor．Children，he says in his book From Defiance to Cooperation，"have secret feelings of weakness"and"a desire to feel safe．"It's the parents'role to provide that protection．
When a"boss child"doesn't learn limits at home，the stage is set for a host of troubles outside the family．The overly willful and unbending child may have trouble obeying teachers or coaches，for example，or trouble keeping friends．It can be pretty lonely as the top dog if no one likes your bossy ways．
"I see more and more parents giving up their power，"says Barkley，who has studied bossy behavior for more than 30 years．"They bend too far because they don't want to be as strict as their own parents were．But they also feel less confident about their parenting skills．Their kids，in turn，feel more anxious．"
66．Bossy children like Stephen JacksonB
A．make good decisions                   B．show self-centeredness
C．lack care from others                 D．have little sense of fear
67．The underlined phrase"inheritable trait"in Paragraph 2 meansA
A．inborn nature                         B．developed character
C．a(chǎn)ccepted theory                       D．particular environment
68．The study on bossy behavior implies that parentsB．
A．should give more power to their children
B．should be strict with their children
C．should not be so anxious about their children
D．should not set limits for their children
69．Bossy children may probably becomeD．
A．relaxed           B．skillful         C．hesitant         D．lonely
70．What is the passage mainly about？C
A．How bossy behavior can be controlled．
B．How we can get along with bossy children．

19．Modern zoos are different from those built fifty years ago．At that time zoos were places where people could go to see animals from many parts of the world．The animals lived in cages with iron bars．Although the zoo keepers took good care of them，many of the animals did not feel comfortable，and they often fell ill．
In modern zoos，people can see animals in more natural conditions．The animals are given more freedom in larger places so that they can live as they would in nature．Even the appearance of zoos has changed．Trees and grass grow in cages，and water flows through the places the animals live in．There are few bars； instead，there is often a deep ditch，filled with water，which surrounds a space where several sorts of animals live together as they would naturally．In an American zoo，the visitor can walk through a huge special cage that is filled with trees，some small animals and many birds，and large enough for the birds to live naturally．In a zoo in New York，with the use of special night light，people can observe certain animals that are active only at night，when most zoos are closed．Some zoos have special places for visitors to watch animals that live in the desert or under water．
Modern zoos not only show animals to visitors，but also keep and save rare animals．For this reason，fifty years from now，the grandchildren of today's visitors will be able to enjoy watching these animals．

3．In an age dominated （控制的） by new med ia and the Internet，there are so many alternative ways of learning．Gone are the days when，if we couldn't make it into a classroom，the only real option was to pick up a book，or when audio materials consisted of bad quality cassettes or sporadic（時(shí)有時(shí)無的） radio and TV programmes．With the appearance of broadband access to the web，we have a whole new learning domain （統(tǒng)領(lǐng)） at our fingertips．Sophisticated learning materials in the form of text or high-quality audio are now available at the touch of a button，and tests and assignments can be submitted （進(jìn)行） and marked online．Questions and learning，studying away from the classroom has never seemed easier．Yet many teachers would argue that face-to-face contact between teachers and students is an essential part of the language learning experience．Enter the concept of blended （融合的） learning，an approach to education which seeks to combi ne the best of new technology and actual human contact．
Advocates of blended learning argue that an approach to study which combines the benefits of new technology with the best aspects of face-to-face （often abbreviated to F2F） teaching，will achieve better results．For example，there are some aspects of study，like practical sessions，dealing with more subjective questions，or meeting the needs of an individual student，which require face-to-face human interaction，whereas the more mechanical aspects of learning，such as answers to clear-cut questions，can be managed simply and effectively in a remote environment using new technology．
Blended learning approaches have proven especially appropriate in language learning．For example，in an ELT （English Language Teaching ） environment，a simple scenario （劇情概要） might be a classroom session where a teacher asks a group of students to use a wiki to create a text． Students then go away and compose and edit the text remotely．During the next F2F session，the teacher express his opinion about their work．
1．What is the main idea of this passage？A
A．Blended learning is an effective learning approach．
B．More and more people will use Internet-based learning materials，
C．There are so many different ways of learning for people to choose in today's world．
D．Blended learning methods have proven to be effective except in language learning．
2．Which of the following aspects of study doesn't require face-to-face interaction between teachers and students？D
A．Practical sessions．
B．Tackling the needs of an individual student．
C．Dealing with more subjective questions．
D．Providing answers to clear-cut questions．
3．It can be inferred from the passage thatC．
A．the radio and TV in the past were of poor quality
B．people do not get audio materials through cassettes nowadays
C．it was not convenient for people to leam outside a classroom in the past
D．it was difficult to find a classroom with good learning conditions in the old days
4．Which of the following can be best describe the writer's attitude towards blended learning？D
A．Critical．          
B．Objective （客觀的）．
C．Supportive．            
D．Neutral （中立的）．
