13、 write the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet. Passage 1There are two things I can count on my dad asking every time he calls me: Is there anything I can do for you? and Hows the car? I guess he asks what he can do for me because his dad (an air force officer) was never really there for him, a
14、nd hes determined to provide me with the support he lacked. During my youth he never missed a school play or softball game. In fact, he was so supportive that I sometimes longed for one of those dads who dressed better and cared less. But my dad would forever be the guy wearing shorts with dress sho
15、es and black socks, cheering me on, expecting greatness.His other standard question- Hows the car? - used to strike me as a waste of long-distance dollars from a man who once suggested making a list of what you want to talk about before calling someone out of state. What I now realize is that Hows t
16、he car? is not about the car. Its a fathers way of asking his adult daughter how she is. The advantage is that if theres something wrong with the car, he knows what to do about it and how much it will cost, whereas if youre having marital problems or doubting a career choice, he might have to put Mo
17、m on the line.At age 30 1 finally took the plunge(突然一跳) into adulthood by leasing（租） a car without my dads help or advice. Im sure my dad was hurt rather than proud. Though a daughters independence is evidence（证据） of a job well done, it still implies the jobs done, and many fathers are reluctant to
18、retire. Even when my dad was overworked, hed happily hop on a plane if I said I needed help. His frequent question, Is there anything I can do for you? underlines the fact that he wishes there was still something he could provide. Its interesting: Even though were tied by blood and I love him no mat
19、ter what, he still seems to need a concrete function - suggesting stocks, finding the cheapest plane fare - to feel he has a role in my life.16. Judging from the first paragraph, the author has a very A supportive father B rich father C capable father D careful father17. The author now realizes that
20、 by asking How is the car?, her father is actually A wasting precious money B asking how shes getting alongC expressing his concern for her safety D showing how much he knows about cars18. In case the author asked her father what she should do with her life, he would probablyA let her mother answer
21、the question B tell her his own experience in career choice C let her make her own decision D make a list of what to say to her19. When the author leased a car without asking her fathers advice, he was A proud his daughter had finally achieved independence B hurt because he had no more to do for her
22、 C happy that he had got a job well done D angry because his daughter no longer minded his advice20. What does the author mean by saying many fathers are reluctant to retire? A They want to continue to work so they will have money to provide support for their daughters. B They are afraid theyll lose
23、 their daughters love if they dont do something for them. C They believe their daughters need their help in things such as fixing a car. D They wish to keep playing some role in their daughters livesPassage 2Perhaps you are an average student with average intelligence. You do well enough in school,
24、but you probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily the case, however. You can receive better grades if you want to. Yes, even students of average intelligence can be top students without additional work. Heres how:1. Plan your time carefully. Make a list of your weekly t
25、asks. Then make a schedule or chart of your time. Fill in committed time such as eating, sleeping, meetings, classes, etc. Then decide on good, regular times for studying. Be sure to set aside enough time to complete your normal reading and work assignments. Of course, studying shouldnt occupy all o
26、f the free time on the schedule. Its important to set aside time for relaxation, hobbies, and entertainment as well. This weekly schedule may not solve all of your problems, but it will make you more aware of how you spend your time. Furthermore, it will enable you to plan your activities so that yo
27、u have adequate time for both work and play.2. Find a good place to study. Choose one place for your study area. It may be a desk or a chair at home or in the school library, but it should be comfortable, and it should not have distractions. When you begin to work, you should be able to concentrate
28、on the subject.3. Skim before you read. This means looking over a passage quickly before you begin to read it more carefully. As you preview the material, you get some idea of the content and how it is organized. Later when you begin to read you will recognize less important material and you may ski
29、p some of these portions. Skimming helps double your reading speed and improves your comprehension as well.4. Make good use of your time in class. Listening to what the teacher says in class means less work later. Sit where you can see and hear well. Take notes to help you remember what the teacher
30、says.5. Study regularly. Go over your notes as soon as you can after class. Review important points mentioned in class as well as points you remain confused about. Read about these points in your textbook. If you know what the teacher will discuss the next day, skim and read that material too. This
31、will help you understand the next class. If you review your notes and textbook regularly, the material will become more meaningful and you will remember it longer. Regular review leads to improved performance on tests.6. Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you
32、have learned about a subject. The world wont end if you dont pass a test, so dont worry excessively about a single test. Tests provide grades, but they also let you know what you need to spend more time studying, and they help make your new knowledge permanent.There are other techniques that might h
33、elp you with your studying. Only a few have been mentioned here. You will probably discover many others after you have tried these. Talk with your classmates about their study techniques. Share with them some of the techniques you have found to be helpful. Improving your study habits will improve yo
34、ur grades.21. An average student with average intelligence is a student who _.

For many of us the “cashless society
40、” is not far awayits already here.While computers offer these conveniences to consumers, they have many advantages for sellers too.

41、n allows business men to keep track of their list of goods by showing which items are being sold and how fast they are moving. Decisions to reorder or return goods to suppliers can then be made. At the same time these computers record which hours are busiest and which employees are the most efficien
42、t, allowing personnel and staffing assignments to be made accordingly. And they also identify preferred customers for promotional campaigns.
