8.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．[单选题] The underlined word “hostile” means _______．

9.根据以下材料，回答40-43题 It is customary for adults to forget how hard and dull and long school is．The learning by memoryof all the basic things one must know is a most incredible and unending effort．Learning to read isprobably the most difficult and revolutionary thing that happens to the human brain and if you don’tbelieve that，watch an illiterate adult try to do it．School is not easy and it is not for the most partvery much fun，but then，if you are very lucky，you may find a real teacher．Three real teachers ina lifetime is the very best of my luck．My first was a science and math teacher in high school，mysecond，a professor of creative writing at Stanford，and my third was my friend and partner，EdRicketts． My three had these things in common：They all loved what they were doing．They did not tell；they catalyzed a burning desire to know．Under their influence，the horizons sprung wide and fearwent away and the unknown became knowable．But most important of all，the truth，that dangerousstuff，became beautiful and very precious． I shall speak only of my first teacher because in addition to the other things，she：brought discovery．She aroused us to shoutin9，book—waving discussions．She had the noisiest class in school andshe didn’t even seem to know it．We could．never stick to the subject．Our speculation ranged theworld．She breathed curiosity into us so that we brought in facts or truths shielded in our hands likecaptured fireflies． I Call tell my son who looks forward with horror to fifteen years of drudgery that somewhere inthedusty dark a magic may happen that will light up the years if he is very lucky．The auther hoped that his son .

15.We all love a hero, and rescue dogs are some of the biggest heroes of all. You will often find themgoing above and beyond duty to save someone, risking--and at times losing--their lives in theprocess.Rescue dogs are generally found in the Sporting and Hunting Groups, or from the traditionalHerding Group. These types include the Bloodhound, Labrador Retriever, Newfoundland, GermanShepherd, Golden Retriever, and Belgian Malinois--all of which are chosen for search-and-rescueduty because of their amazing physical strength, loyalty, and their tendency for mental stability.These types also have a keen sense of hearing and smell--to better locate lost individuals—and areoften able to access hard-to-reach areas. As highly trained animals, they serve in many differentfields, including specialist search, snow slide rescue, dead body location, and tracking.To overcome obstacles and succeed when performing the demanding duties of a search-and-rescue worker, a dog must display certain qualities. In addition to intelligence and strength, thedog must be swift, confident, easily trainable, adaptable, and have a high level of stamina (耐力)and endurance.A strong sense of group cooperation and an ability to engage in friendly play during "down" timeis also required of search-and-rescue dogs.A rescue dog goes through many, many hours of intensive training to be fit for duty. Training is notfor the faint-hearted. Certification training can take from two to three years, working three to fourhours a day, three to six days a week, often in group,team-oriented sessions.Each search-and-rescue field requires different types of training. Rescue training, for instance,includes "air scenting"--where dogs are trained to smell the air for the victim' s scent (气味) andthen follow the scent to the person. This ability is crucial to finding victims trapped under collapsedbuildings and snow slide.What does "faint-hearted" in Paragraph 5 mean??

The World Trade Organization(WTO),founded on January 1,1995,aims to encourage international trade to flow as freely as possible,making sure that trade agreements arerespected and that any disputes(争端）can be settled.

In the five years since its founding,the WTO has become well-known as one of the world's most powerful economic organizations,taking its place alongside the World Bankand International Monetary Fund.

The system of global rules for international trade,however,dates back half a century to 1948 when the General Agreement on Tariffs(关税）and Trade(GATT) was formed after World War II.

As time went by,it became clear that the GATT had two majordrawbacks-thelimited areas of trade it covered,and the lack of an effective system to settle disputes.

after seven years of trade talks endingin 1994. that so-called Uruguay Round finallyto the WTO,complete with aneffective system to settle disputes ,and new rolescovering trade in services and intellectual property(知识产权）

Ideas about polite behaviour differ from one culture to another.Some societies, such as America and Australia,for example, are mobile and very open. People here change jobs and move house quite often. As a m result, they have a lot of relationships that often last only ma short time, and they need to get to know people quickly. So it's normal to have

friendly conversations with people that they have just met, and you can talk about things that other cultures would regard as personal.

On the other hand, there are more crowded and less mobile societies where long-term relationships are more important. A Malaysian or Mexican business person, for example,will want to get to know you very well before he or she feels happy to start business. But when you do get to know each other, the relationship becomes much deeper than it would in a mobile society.

To Americans, both Europeans and Asians seem cool and formal at first. On the other hand, as a

passenger from a less mobile society puts it, it's no fun spending several hours next to a stranger who wants to tell you all about his or her life and asks you all sorts of questions that you don't want to answer.

Cross-cultural differences aren't just a problem for travelers, but also for people in daily life. Some societies have " universalist'' cultures. These societies strongly respect rules, and they treat every person and situation in basically the same way. "Particularist" ( 强调特性的)societies also have rules, but they are less important than the society's unwritten ideas about what is right or wrong for a particular situation or a particular person. So the normal rules are changed to fit the needs of the situation or the importance of the person.Who do Malaysians prefer to start business with according to the passage?

There here have been great changes in the lives of womanDuring the twentieth century thewas an unusual shortening of the time of g woman's.lifespentin caring for children.A woman marrying at the end of the 19th century would probably have been in her middle twenties, andwould be likely to have seven or eight children.of whom four or five lived till they were five years old.By the time the youngest was fifteen.the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years.(during whichcustom,chance and health made it unusual or her to get paid work.Today women marry younger and have fewer children.Usuallya woman's youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty.Even while she has the care of children,her work is lightened by household appliances(家用电器）and convenience foods.

This important change in women's way of life has only recently begun to have its full effect on women's economic position.Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity and most of them took a full-time job.However,when they married,they usually left,work at once and never returned to it..Today the school-leaving age is six-teen,many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry younger,more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born.Very many more afterwards,return to full or part-time work.Such changes have led to anew relationship in marriage,with both husband and wife accepting a greater share of the dutiesand satisfaction of family life,and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money and running the home,according to the abilities and interest of each them.3.when she was over fifty,the late 19^thcentury mother（）
