根据下面资料，回答{TSE}题
Do you have any idea what you would like to be and do after graduation? A lot of people don´! begin thinking about careers until they reach junior or senior year, which, in my opinion, is too late.
When people are trying to decide what they want to do, it helps to know something they love. Ever since I was little, I´ve always been doing someone´s hair, make-up or nails, starting with Barbie dolls and progressing to humans. Over the years my family has really inspired me to do this and now I fix friends´ and family members´ hair for weddings, dances and other big events.
I have been thinking about what I would like to do for a career since middle school. I did some research and discovered that I might really enjoy being a cosmetologist, so I went to my hair stylist and asked her lots of questions about what it takes to reach her level and what she would recommend I do. I considered her advice and then did more research.
I used Aveda´ s website to get information on the Aveda Institute and what type of credit (贷款) I would need from high school to apply. I found their institute has three parts: theoretical knowledge, practical experience, and professional business-building skills. For the past few years, I have been looking at Aveda in more and more detail. This school not only offers cosmetology, but also massage therapy. I grew up in Minnesota (美国中北部的一个州), so I plan to apply to the institute in Minneapolis that several people have highly recommended. It helps students become "future industry leaders in hair care, skin care, makeup and total body wellness". It is affordable and everyone there is friendly and understanding.
Having done the groundwork and thinking about what I´d like to do after high school, I know that I will definitely pursue my dream of becoming a cosmetologist.

根据下面资料，回答{TSE}题
People have smoked cigarettes for a long time now. The tobacco which is used to make cigarettes was first grown in what is now part of the United States. Christopher Columbus, who discovered America, saw the Indians smoking. Soon the dried leaves were transported to Europe. In the late 1800s, the Turks made cigarettes popular.
Cigarette smoke contains at least two harmful substances, tar and nicotine. Tar, which forms as the tobacco bums, damages the lungs and therefore affects breathing. Nicotine, which is found in the leaves, causes the heart to beat faster and increases the breathing rate. Nicotine in large can kill a person by stopping a person´s breathing muscles. Smokers usually take in small amounts that the body can quickly break down.
Nicotine can make new smokers feel dizzy (头晕) or sick to their stomachs. The heart rate for young smokers increases 2 to 3 beats per minute. Nicotine also lowers skin temperature and reduces blood flow in the legs and feet. It plays an important role in increasing smokers´ risk of heart disease and stroke.
Smoking cigarettes is dangerous. Cigarette smoking was the cause of lung cancer and several other deadly diseases.

A、Asia

根据下面资料，回答{TSE}题
To learn an instrument such as the violin or accordion (手风琴) takes years. The job opportunities for musicians are scarce and competition is fierce. Then why are more people than ever before paying a lot of good cash to get their children the best music teaching they can afford?
The secret lies in the influence of music on the whole person. It has been found that learning a musical instrument actually increases a person´s IQ over time. Different instruments and different types of music have varying effect, with classical music and the string family coming out on top, potentially increasing your IQ by up to 12 points!
When is a good time to start learning music? Experts have found that even the fetus (胎儿) can benefit from listening to classical music. Surround yourself and your family with good music from the first. The Suzuki Piano Method teaches children from the age of 3 years piano, with two lessons per week. From preschool, children can learn to read music and play from sheet music. Progress in learning your instrument is directly proportional (成比例的) to the amount of practicing.
Is there such a thing as an unmusical child? Shiniehi Suzuki proposes that music is the native home language of all human beings and therefore nobody can be "unmusical". Of course there are exceptional talents, compared to which others may seem to be slower learners.
Is there any benefit for adults in starting an instrument? Apart from the purely relaxing aspect, yes. Learning an instrument can earn even adults additional IQ points, and as an added benefit in improves your health by reducing your stress levels. Your social life may benefit too, if you are prepared to come out of your box and join occasions such as Ceilidhs (musical get together) or arrange house concerts. It has been established that people who play instruments tend to be more emotionally balanced and more patient with themselves, others and life in general.
So go ahead, sign up for that amateur orchestra, dust off your old trombone (长号) or take your first real six-string down from the attic (阁楼); get out there and play!
{TS} Playing which of the following musical instruments can help increase a person´ s IQ most?
A、The piano.
B、The violin.
C、The trombone.
D、The accordion.
47
According to Shinichi Suzuki, ___________.
A、the progress in learning an instrument depends on natural gifts
B、it is too late for an adult to start an instrument
C、every child has a natural talent for music
D、all people can understand and read music
48
What can be inferred from the text?
A、Music can balance our life.
B、Music can improve our living conditions.
C、Playing instruments can make adults keep their IQ points.
D、Playing instruments can help us get along well with others.
49

根据下面资料，回答{TSE}题
Beauty has always been regarded as something praise worthy. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable occupations. Personal consultants give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive defendants (被告). But in the executive circle, beauty can become a liability.
While attractiveness is a positive factor for a man on his way up the executive ladder, it is harmful to a woman.
Handsome male executives were thought as having more integrity than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to account for their success.
Attractive female executives were considered to have less integrity than unattractive ones; their success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck.
All unattractive women executives were thought to have more integrity and to be more capable than the attractive female executives. Interestingly, though, the rise of the unattractive overnight successes was attributed more to personal relationships and less to ability than that of attractive overnight successes.
Why are attractive women not thought to be able? An attractive woman is thought to be more feminine and an attractive man more masculine (有男子气概的) than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position appears to lack the "masculine" qualities required.
This is true even in politics. ´When the only clue is how he or she looks, people treat men and women differently,´ says Anne Bowman, who recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates. She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women, in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked to rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.
The results showed that attractive males utterly defeated unattractive men, but the women who had been ranked most attractive invariably received the fewest votes.
{TS} The underlined word "liability" (in Para.1) most probably means "___________".
A、disadvantage
B、advantage
C、misfortune
D、trouble
52
In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness___________.
A、makes women look more honest and capable
B、strengthens the feminine qualities required
C、is of primary importance to women
D、often enables women to succeed quickly
53
Bowman´ s experiment reveals that when it comes to politics, attractiveness ____________.
A、turns out to be an obstacle to men
B、is more of an obstacle than an advantage to women
C、affects men and women alike
D、has as little effect on men as on women
54
It can be inferred from the passage that people´ s views on beauty are often ____________.
A、practical
B、supportive
C、old-fashioned
D、one-sided
55
The author writes this passage to ____________.
A、give advice to job-seekers who are attractive
B、discuss the negative aspects of being attractive
C、demand equal rights for women
D、state the importance of appearance

根据下面资料，回答{TSE}题
If you don´t think a phone is the right gift for a lover, the smart choice this year is a smart phone.
For people who don´t read instructions
The easiest-to-use phone is the iPhone. It´s that has pushed it to the No.1 selling position, surpassing the Motorola Razr. The iPhone´s touch screen is easy to operate and it´s also easy to customize (用户化). The iPhone can run all sorts of applications such as those help you to lose weight, identify a song on the radio, find a restaurant or do many other things.
For the futurist
The T-Mobile G1 is very popular as it is the first phone to offer a Google browser, meaning that you´re getting the real web on your phone, but it´s the phone´s potential that qualifies it for the futurist. The exciting applications are interesting, but they don´t always work smoothly. Sometimes it is hard to use the applications it comes with. The system should improve as it becomes more popular, so it holds great promise. With few restrictions on the design of applications for the phone, the G1 could be the first phone to incorporate (整合) some of the coolest.
For the road warrior
The new BlackBerry Storm is something like the equivalent (等同物) of a mullet--a business up front, party in the back. It still incorporates the serious mail and organization features that have endeared (使受钟爱) these phones to business people. The 3.25-inch is bright and detailed and it´s a decent size for watching videos on the go.
For the Luddite (反对技术进步的人)
For those who can´t handle buttons and new features, there is the Samsung Jitterbug Dial. Some people are Luddites who just want a few large buttons to make calls. That´ s it, just calls. That makes it even easier to use an iPhone.
{TS}What would be the best title for the passage? (no more than 6 words)
_______________________________________________________________________________
57
According to the passage, why is the BlackBerry Storm popular with business people? (no more than 10 words)
_______________________________________________________________________________
58
Please explain the underlined phrase "comes with". (no more than 5 words)
_______________________________________________________________________________
59
According to the passages, what does a Luddite like? (no more than 20 words)
_______________________________________________________________________________
60
Among the four types of phones, which one do you like best? Why?. (no more than 25 words)

1
考查冠词。句意为“在中国，私家车正在变成一种流行的交通工具”。复数名词表示泛指一类人或事物时，前面不用冠词，第一空泛指私家车这类事物；第二空泛指任何一种流行的交通工具，means表示“工具，方式”单复数同形，此处是单数，故选B。
2
考查固定搭配。that’s what counts表示这才是最重要的。句意为“——抱歉，我迟到了。——没关系，你来才是最重要的。”
3
考查介词和比较级。for表示“对于”，in表示“在”，月份前一般使用in，但是此处表示“对于”，故使用for。句意为“——对于今年11月份的长沙而言，天太冷了。——去年我来的时候，_________。”根据句意，表示对比，去年比今年的天气更冷，选择colder，故选A。
4
考查代词。it为形式宾语，真正的宾语为后面的that从句。
5

6
考查介词短语辨析。句意为“——抱歉，我没有做好工作。——没关系，___________你已经尽力了”。above all“首先，最重要的是”；in all“合计，总共”；at all常用于否定句，表示“根本，丝毫”；after all“毕竟”。D项最符合句意，故选D。
7
考查虚拟语气。it为形式宾语，真正的宾语为后面的that从句。该结构为：主语 think／consider／make／find… it 形容词 that从旬。当形容词为surprising，strange，natural，necessary，important等时，that从句中谓语常用虚拟语气，should 动词原形，should可省略。句意为“我们认为每个市民有礼貌是重要的”。“have good manners”表示“有礼貌”，故选C。
8
考查宾语从旬。what引导宾语从句，作reached的宾语。what在宾语从句中作主语。they thought是插入语。where可以引导宾语从句，但不能用作主语。they’d been dreaming of 作the place的定语从句。
9

14

15
考查情景交际。句意为“——这周末你打算干什么?——我还没有决定呢，__________ ?——我想我们可以再开一个家庭聚会。”只有C项符合题意。
