Section B
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Lately, Janice has been getting severe headaches. She attributes them to inadequate sleep. Her examinations are coming in a month and because of that, she feels a little nervous. At night, she cannot get a full night’s rest, and sometimes, she even gets nightmares in which she dreams that she has failed her examinations 41. Unknown to Janice, she may be 42 from excessive stress.

Stress can be 43 as physical, mental or emotional strain(过度疲劳). Stress is not a disease and is normal part of everyone’s life. Although stress is not 44 good or bad, some

45 to stress are undesirable. The most common is anxiety. Anxiety is often 46 by other symptoms like headaches, tiredness, nightmares, memory problems and sleeplessness. Insomnia (失眠) and the 47 to concentrate are common symptoms of anxiety.

Finding the cause of the anxiety is the first step in resolving problem with stress. We should avoid becoming dependent on “mood-altering” drugs because these drugs will not provide a(n)

48 solution or even a long-lasting one. While no special diet is required, we should also avoid caffeine to give our nervous system a rest.

Often what we need when we meet problems or stressful situations is a listening ear and a(n)49 shoulder. Finding someone who will listen to our problems is a good way to start. A supportive network of family and friends can help relieve anxiety. During a stressful situation, a calm, quiet atmosphere and comfortable environment can help calm nerves.

Relaxation therapy calms our nerves through certain physical exercises. In addition, keeping to a regular fitness 50 will help to bring down our stress levels as well.

___55___, there is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior which, ___56___ broken, makes the offender immediately the object of __57___.

It has been known as a fact that a British has a __58___ for the discussion of their weather and that, if given a chance, he will talk about it at length. Some people argue that it is because the British weather seldom follows forecast and hence becomes a __59___ of interest to everyone.

This may be so. ___60___ a British cannot have much ___61___ in the weathermen, who, after promising fine, sunny weather for the following day, are often proved wrong when a cloud over the Atlantic brings rainy weather to all districts! The man in the street seems to be as accurate---or as inaccurate---as the weathermen in his __62___.

Foreigners may be surprised at the number of references to weather that the British make to each other in the course of a single day. Very often conversational greetings are replaced by _63___ on the weather."Nice day, isn't it?""Beautiful!" may well be heard instead of"Good morning, how are you?"

My father and I were very close. I loved pleasing him, and he was always proud of my success. If I won a spelling contest at school, he was on top of the world. Later in life whenever I got a promotion, I’d call my father right away and he’d rush out to tell all of his friends. In 1970, I was named president of the Ford Motor company, I don’t know which of us was more excited.

Like many native Italians, my parents were very open with their feelings and their love not only at home, but also in public. Most of my friends would never hug their fathers. But I hugged and kissed my dad at every opportunity. Nothing could have felt more natural.

He fell off it so often that he got rid of it just a month after buying it.. As a result, he never again trusted any vehicle with less than four wheels.

Because of that motorcycle, I wasn’t allowed to have a bicycle when I was growing up. Whenever I wanted to ride a bike, I had to borrow one from a friend. On the other hand, my father let me drive a car as soon as I turned sixteen.

(C)

An environmental group called the Food Commission is unhappy and disappointed because of the sales of bottled water from Japan. The water, it angrily argues in public, has traveled 10,000 “ food miles” before it reached Western customers. Transporting water halfway across the world is surely the extremely stupid use of fuel when there is plenty of water in the UK. It is also worrying that we were wasting our fuel by buying prawns from Indonesia(7,000 food miles ) and carrots from South Africa (5,900 food miles).

Counting the number of miles traveled done by a product is a strange way of trying to tell the true situation of the environmental damage due to industry. Most food is transported around the world on container ships that are extremely energy efficient. It should be noticed that a ton of butter transported 25 miles in a truck to a farmers’ market doesn’t necessarily use less fuel on its journey than a similar product transported hundreds of miles by sea. Besides, the idea of “ food miles” ignores the amount of fuel used in the production. It is possible to cut down your food miles by buying tomatoes grown in Britain rather than those grown in Ghana. The difference is that the British ones will have been raised in heated greenhouse and the Ghanaian ones in the open sun.

What is the idea of “ food miles” does provide, however, is the chance to cut out Third World countries from First World food markets. The number of miles traveled by our food should, as I see it, be regarded as a sign of the success of the global trade system, not a sign of damage to the environment.

74. The Food Commission is angry because it thinks that_________.

A. UK wastes a lot of money importing food products.

B. some imported goods causes environmental damage

C. growing certain vegetables causes environmental damage.

D. people wasted energy buying food from other countries.

75. The phrase “ food miles” in the passage refers to the distance__________.

A. that a food product travels to a market.

B. that a food product travels from one market to another.

C. between UK and other food producing countries

D. between a Third World country and a First World food market.

76. By comparing tomatoes raised in Britain and in Ghana, the author tries to explain that_______.

A. British tomatoes are healthier than Ghanaian ones.

B. Ghanaian tomatoes taste better than tomatoes ones

C. cutting down food miles may not necessarily save fuel.

D protecting the environment may cost a lot of money.

77. From the passage we know that the author is most probably_______.

A. a supporter of free global trade

B. a member of a Food Commission

C. a supporter of First World food markets

D. a member of an energy development group

Section C

Directions: read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.

Travelers arriving at Heathrow airport this year have been met by the smell of freshly-cut grass, pumped from a corner through an “aroma box”, a machine which blows warm, sweet-smelling air into the environment.

Heathrow?s move into “sensory” marketing is the latest in a long line of attempts by businesses to use sensory psychology — the scientific study of the effects of the senses on our behavior to help sell products. Marketing people call this “atmosphere” — using smells to influence consumer behavior. On Valentine’s Day two years ago, the chain of chemist’s Superdog scented one of its London shops with chocolate. “Chocolate is associated with love, ” said a marketing spokeswoman, “We thought it would get people in the mood for romance.” She did not reveal, though, whether the smell actually made people spend more money.

However, research into customer satisfaction with certain scented products has clearly shown that smell does have a commercial effect, though of course it must be an appropriate smell. In a survey, customers considered a lemon-scented detergent (洗涤剂) more effective than another scented with coconut despite the fact that the detergent used in both was similar. On the other hand, a coconut-scented sun cream was rated more effective than a lemon-scented one. A research group from Washington University reported that the smell of mint or orange sprayed in a store resulted in customers rating the store as more modern and more pleasant for shopping than other stores without the smell. Customers also rated the goods on sale as better, and expressed a stronger intention to visit the store again in the future.

Writers and poets have often described the powerful effects of smell on our emotion, and smell is often considered to be the sense most likely to recall emotion-filled memories. Perhaps the reason is because smells are very difficult to give a name to. The fact that smell is invisible, and thus somehow more mysterious, may partly explain its reputation as our most emotional sense.

(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)

78. What is the function of “aroma box” at Heathrow airport?

79. The example of “coconut-scented detergent” and “coconut-scented sun cream” is used to show that __________.

80. __________ is of help for the store to leave a better impression on customers.

81. What is one of the reasons why smell is considered the most emotional sense?
