1.根据以下资料,回答119-122题。   Train companies in Tokyo are taking action to reduce the number of people jumping in front of trains.They are fitting blue lights on station platforms to try and create a more calming atmosphere.The East Japan Railway Company has invested almost $170,000 to install the lights in all of the 29 stations on the capital's busy Yamanote Line.There has been an alarming rise in the number of people committing suicide at train stations.A total of 68 people threw themselves under trains in the year up to March.This compares with 42 suicides in the same period a year earlier.In 2008, Japan had nearly 2,000 suicides by jumping in front of a train; around six percent of all suicides nationwide.Suicides have risen sharply in the past decade due to poor economic conditions.   No one knows if the blue lights will work.There is no evidence to show that blue light reduces suicidal feelings. Keihan Railway spokesman Osamu Okawa stated: "We thought we had to do something to save lives.We know there is no scientific proof that blue lights deter suicides, but if blue has a soothing effect on the mind, we want to try it to save lives." The Associated Press news agency reports on a Japanese therapist called Mizuki    Takahashi.She explained her reasons why the blue lights might be a good idea: "We associate the color with the sky and the sea.It has a calming effect on agitated people, or people obsessed with one particular thing, which in this case is committing suicide," she said.Other companies are watching this experiment with interest.122 What is the writer's attitude toward the experiment? He is __.

Wanted by the FBI."To the murderer,or the bank robber,these are the mostfrightening words in the world.When the criminal(罪犯)hears them,he knows that sixthousand trained persons are after him.

Why should he be so afraid?There are hundreds of cities and thousands of villageswhere he can hide.There are large forests and deserts where he can lose himself.Besideshe's usually rich with stolen money.

Money can make it easier to hide.With money,the criminal can pay a dishonest doctor to operate on his face and make him hard to recognize.Money can pay for a hideout some far-off place.But the criminal knows what happened to public enemies such as JohnDillinger,Baby Face Nelson,and Machine Gun Kelly.They had plenty of money and goodhideouts.Yet one by one they were found by the men of the FBI.

They know every trick the criminal knows and many more.If he makes just one mistaketake,they'll get him.That's why the man who is hunted can't sleep.That's why he becomes nervous,why he jumps at every 'sound."When he makes a mistake,he'll no longerbe"wanted by the FBI".He'll have been caught.

The FBI began on May 10,1924.Attorney General Harlan F.Stone chose J.EegarHoover,a young lawyer in the Department of Justice,to head the new agency(机构)。"What we need is a wholly new kind of police force,"he said."Criminals today are smart.They use stolen cars and even planes to make their gateways.They have learned to openany lock.The criminal would have discovered science.We can't beat them with old methods.We have to train officers to work scientifically."

J.EdgarHoover quietly went ahead with his plans.He picked his men carefully.They had to be between the ages of twenty-five and thirty-five.He wanted only men withgood manners and good character.When working ashis officers they would have to meetall kinds of people.Hoover wanted men who could handle a teacup as well as a gun.Hechose men so carefully that he made theFBI the hardest service in the world to get into.The FBI cannot help in every police problem.It can look into only certain crimes againstthe government.Solving all other crimes is the duty of local police forces.4.A man who can"handle a teacup as well as a gun" has both ()

16.根据以下资料,回答17-20题。   California families are facing a rapidly mounting uphill battle to make enough money to provide basic household essentials, according to a new study conducted by the California Budget Project.   The research compiled by the Sacramento-based non-profit organization concluded an average two-parent family with one employed adult in California needs to make $51,177 a year, or $24.60 cents an hour, to pay for housing, transportation, food, utilities, child care, health coverage, taxes and other basic expenses.   The number grows significantly higher in the Bay Area, the state's most expensive region.A Bay Area family of four with two working adults living in rental housing needs a combined income of $79,946 to cover essential needs.That number is more than four times greater than the $19,157 income level recognized by the federal government as impoverished.   The study is the fourth semi-annual survey conducted by the California Budget Project since 1999. California Budget Project executive director Jean Ross said helping state officials and residents understand the numbers found in the report is crucial to moving families toward self-sufficiency. "How should we be targeting some of our programs and policies? How much do young people need to earn and what kind of a job should they be looking to train for if they want to have that salary that can support a family?"   CBP said the project was based on actual costs or generally accepted fair standard prices based on weighted averages found in ten California regions.19 How do we know that the costs are rising in California?

20.材料题Like every language, American English is full of special expressions, phrases that come from the day-to-day life of the people and develop in their own way.Our expression today is “to face the music”. When someone says, “well, I guess I’ll have to face the music,” it does not mean he’s planning to go to the concert.It is something far less pleasant, like being called in by your boss to explain why you did this and did that, and why you didn’t do this or that.Sour music indeed, but it has to be faced At sometime or another, every one of us has had to face the music, especially as children.We can all remember father’s angry voice, “I want to talk to you.” and only because we did not obey him.What an unpleasant business it was! The phrase “to face the music” is familiar to every American, young and old,It is at least 100 years old .And where did this expression come from? The first explanation comes from the American novelist, James Fenimore Looper.He said, in 1851, that the expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings to go on the stage.When they got their cue to go on, they often said, “Well, it’s time to face the music.” And that was exactly what they did — facing the orchestra which was just below them.And an actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of an audience that might be friendly or perhaps hostile, especially if he forgot his lines.But he had to go out.If he did not, there would be no play.So the expression “to face the music” come to mean “having to go through something, no matter how unpleasant the experience might be, because you knew you had no choice.” Other explanations about the expression go back to the army.When the men faced an inspection by their leader, the soldiers would be worried about how well they looked .Was their equipment clean, shinny enough to pass the inspection? Still the men had to go out and face the music of the band as well as the inspection.What else could they do? Another army explanation is more closely related to the idea of facing the results and accepting the responsibility for something that should not have been done.As, for example when a man is forced out of the army because he did something terrible, he is dishonored .The band does not play.Only the drums tap a sad, slow beat.The soldier is forced to leave, facing such music as it is and facing the back of his horse.102 The underlined word “hostile” means _______.
