问答题Practice 1 In order to work here the foreigner needs a work permit, which must be applied for by his 1 employer. The problem here is that the Department of the Employment has the right to 2 or refuse these permits, and there is little that can be done about it. It would be extremely unwise for a foreign visitor to work without a permit, since anyone doing so is 3 to immediate deportation. There are some 4 to this rule, most notably people from the Common Market countries, who are 5 to work without permits, and who are often given temporary residence permits of up to five years. Some other people, such as doctors, foreign journalists, authors and others, can work without permits. The problem with the act is not just that some of its rules are unfair but the way it is 6 , and the people who administer it. An immigration official has the power to stop a visitor off these shores coming into the country. If this happens the visitor has the right to appeal 7 the Immigration Appeal Tribunal. While the appeals are being 8 , the visitor has no choice but to wait sometimes for quite a long time. Critics of the law say that immigration officials treat the confused visitors badly, and appear to accept or reject them for no 9 reason. Which side of the political 10 you are on, there seems to be an urgent need for a good look at the Act, for it causes frequent argument, and in the eyes of many real injustice.[A] prospective [B] for [C] fence[D] to [E] liable [F] apparent[G] administered [H] regulations [I] exceptions[J] employed [K] considered [L] grant[M] long-standing [N] entitled [O] exemption

问答题Practice 2 Think you can walk, drive, take phone calls, e-mail and listen to music at the same time? Well, New York’s new law says you can’t. (1)______ The law went into force last month, following research and a shocking number of accidents that involved people using electronic gadgets (小巧机械) when crossing the street. Who’s to blame? (2) ______ “We are under the impression that our brain can do more than it often can,” says Rene Marois, a neuroscientist (神经科学家) in Tennessee. “But a core limitation is the inability to concentrate on two things at once.” The young people are often considered the great multitaskers. (3)______ A group of 18- to 21-year-olds and a group of 35- to 39-year-olds were given 90 seconds to translate images into numbers, using a simple code. (4)______ But when both groups were interrupted by a phone call or an instant message, the older group matched the younger group in speed and accuracy. It is difficult to measure the productivity lost by multitaskers. But it is probably a lot. Jonathan Spira, chief analyst at Basex, a business-research firm, estimates the cost of interruptions to the American economy at nearly $650 billion a year. (5)______ The surveys conclude that 28 percent of the workers’ time was spent on interruptions and recovery time before they returned to their main tasks.[A] Talking on a cellphone while driving brings you joy anyway.[B] The estimate is based on surveys with office workers.[C] The younger group did 10 percent better when not interrupted.[D] However, an Oxford University research suggests this perception is open to question.[E] Scientists say that our multitasking (多任务处理) abilities are limited.[F] And you’ll be fined $100 if you do so on a New York City street.[G] Multitaskers are cleverer compared with other people.

问答题Practice 1 Directions: Read the text below. Write an essay in about 120 words, in which you should summarize the key points of the text and make comments on them. Try to use your own words. I was driving home the other day on a sunny afternoon. I had a smile on my face as I sang along to the songs on the radio. It was such a beautiful day that I felt full of happiness. My good mood ended, however, when the radio station took a news break between songs. Then suddenly I found myself listening to yet another story of a rich famous man who had broken the law. I shook my head as I came to a red traffic light. As I pulled to a stop I noticed four leather-jacketed bikers. They were standing in the middle of the road with two on either side of the light. They looked rough and dangerous, but as I got closer I noticed each one was holding their helmet in their hands. I rolled down my window as one approached my car. “We are the Brother of the wheel,” he said. “We are collecting money for Christmas Toy Drive for needy children.” As I pulled a dollar out of my wallet I looked past his beard and into his eyes. They shined with goodness and kindness that came right from his soul. I dropped the money in his helmet and waved to the other bikers as I drove off. My good mood had returned. My faith in mankind had been strengthened. And I remembered once again never to judge people by their appearance.
