Shanghai :Car rentals (出租)are becoming more and more popular as an inexpensive
way of taking to the roads .Business people ,foreigners and families alike are making
good use of the growing industry .
The first car rental firm opened in Shanghai in 1992 and now 12 car rental players
are in the game ,with more than 11,500 cars in their books .
The largest player-Shanghai Bashi Tourism Car Rental Center offers a wide variety
of choices deluxe sedans ,minivans ,station wagons ,coaches .Santana sedans are the
big favorite .
Firms can attract enough customers for 70 percent of their cars every month .This
figure shoots up during holiday seasons like National Day ,Labor Day and New Year’s
Day ,with some recording 100 percent rental .
The major market force rests in the growing population of white-collar employees
(白领雇员),who can afford the new service ,said Zhuang Yu ,marketing manager of
Shanghai Angel Car Rental Co .

Holidaymakers who are bored with baking beaches and overheated hotel rooms head for
a big igloo .Swedish businessman Nile Bergqvist is delighted with his new hotel ,the
world’s first igloo hotel .Built in a small town in Lapland ,it has been attracting
lots of visitors ,but soon the fun will be over .
In two weeks’ time Bergqvist’s ice creation (作品)will be nothing more than a
pool of water .“We don’t see it as a big problem ,”he says .“We just look forward
to replacing it .”
Bergqvist built his first igloo in 1991 for an art exhibition.It was so successful
that he designed the present one ,which measures roughly 200 square meters .Six workmen
spent more than eight weeks piling 1,000 tons of snow onto a wooden base :when the
snow froze ,the base was removed .“The only wooden thing we have left in the igloo
is the front door ,”he says .
After their stay ,all visitors receive a survival certificate recording their
success.With no windows ,nowhere to hang clothes and temperatures below 0℃ ,it may
seem more like a survival test than a relaxing (轻松的)hotel break .“It’s great
fun ,”Bergqvist explains ,“as well as a good start in survival training.”
The popularity of the igloo is beyond doubt :it is now attracting tourists from all
over the world .At least 800 people have stayed at the igloo this season even though
there are only 10 rooms .“You can get a lot of people in ,”explains Bergqvist.
“The beds are three meters wide by two meters long,and can fit at least four at one
time .”

Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted .Careless methods of
production and lack of consumer demand for environment(环境)friendly products have
contributed to the pollution problem .One result is that millions of tons of
glass ,paper ,plastic ,and metal containers are produced ,and these are difficult
to get rid of .
However ,today ,more and more consumers are choosing “green” and demanding that
the products they buy should be safe for the environment .Before they buy a
product ,they ask questions like these :“Will this shampoo damage the environment ?”
“Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once ?”
A recent study showed that two out of five adults now consider the environmental
safety of a product before they buy it .This means that companies must now change
the way they make and sell their products to make sure that they are “green ,” that
is ,friendly to the environment .
Only a few years ago ,it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets ,but
now there are hundreds .Some supermarket products carry labels (标签)to show that
the product is green .Some companies have made the manufacturing (生产)of clean
and safe products their main selling point and emphasize it in their advertising .
The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how
they do business .No longer will the public accept the old attitude of “Buy it ,use
it ,throw it away ,and forget it .”The public pressure is on ,and gradually business
is cleaning up its act .
64.It becomes clear from the text that the driving force (动力)behind green products
is
.
A.public caring for the environment
C.new ways of doing business
D.rapid growth of supermarkets
B.companies ,desire for bigger sales
65.What would be the best title for the text ?
A.Business and People
C.Shopping Habits Are Changing
B.Business Goes Green
D.Supermarkets and Green Products
66.The underlined word “it ” in the fourth paragraph refers to
.
A.a selling point
C.a great demand for health foods
B.the company name
D.the manufacturing of green products

If you ask people to name the one person who had the greatest effect on the English
language ,you will get answers like “Shakespeare,” “Samuel Johnson ,”and
“Webster ,”but none of these men had any effect at all compared to a man who didn’t
even speak English –William the Conqueror .
Before 1066 ,in the land we now call Great Britain lived peoples belonging to two
major language groups .In the west-central region lived the Welsh ,who spoke a Celtic
language ,and in the north lived the Scots ,whose language ,though not the same as
Welsh ,was also Celtic.In the rest of the country lived the Saxons ,actually a mixture
of Anglos, Saxons,and other Germanic and Nordic people ,who spoke what we now call
Anglo-Saxon (or Old English ),a Germanic language .If this state of affairs had
lasted ,English today would be close to German .
But this state of affairs did not last .In 1066 the Normans led by William defeated
the Saxons and began their rule over England .For about a century ,French became the
official language of England while Old English became the language of peasants .As
a result ,English words of politics and the law come from French rather than German .In
some cases ,modern English even shows a distinction (区别)between upper-class French
and lower-class Anglo-Saxon in its words .We even have different words for some
foods ,meat in particular ,depending on whether it is still out in the fields or at
home ready to be cooked ,which shows the fact that the Saxon peasants were doing the
farming ,while the upper-class Normans were doing most of the eating .
When Americans visit Europe for the first time ,they usually find Germany more
“foreign ”than France because the German they see on signs and advertisements seems
much more different from English than French does .Few realize that the English
language is actually Germanic in its beginning and that the French influences are
all the result of one man’s ambition .
67.The two major languages spoken in what is now called Great Britain before 1066
were
.
A.Welsh and Scottish
C.Celtic and Old English
B.Nordic and Germanic
D.Anglo-Saxon and Germanic
68.Which of the following groups of words are ,by inference ,rooted in French ?
A.president ,lawyer ,beef
C.bread,field ,sheep
D.folk ,field ,cow
B.president, bread ,water
69.Why does France appear less foreign than Germany to Americans on their first visit
to Europe ?
A.Most advertisements in France appear in English .
B.They know little of the history of the English language .
C.Many French words are similar to English ones .
D.They know French better than German .
70.What is the subject discussed in the text ?
A.The history of Great Britain .
C.The rule of England by William the Conqueror .
D.The French influences on the English language .
B.The similarity between English and French

Betty and Harold have been married for years .But one thing still puzzles (困
扰) old Harold .How is it that he can leave Betty and her friend Joan sitting on the
sofa ,talking ,go out to a ballgame ,come back three and a half hours later ,and
they’re still sitting on the sofa ? Talking ?
What in the world ,Harold wonders ,do they have to talk about ?
Betty shrugs .Talk ? We’re friends .
Researching this matter called friendship ,psychologist Lillian Rubin spent two
years interviewing more than two hundred women and men .No matter what their age ,their
job ,their sex ,the results were completely clear :women have more friendships than
men ,and the difference in the content and the quality of those friendships is “marked
and unmistakable .”
More than two –thirds of the single men Rubin interviewed could not name a best
friend. Those who could were likely to name a woman .Yet three-quarters of the single
