50、 What do you think is the tone of the story?A．Humorous．B．Sarcastic．C．Solemn．D．Matter-of-fact．
51、You must have been troubled by when to say"＂I love you＂because it is one of the greatest Puzzles in our life． What if you say it first and your partner doesn’t love you back ? or if they do say it but you don’t feel they mean it? Being the first to declare your love can be nerve—racking(紧张)and risky and can leave you feeling as vulnerable as a turtle with no shell．But is the person who says it first really in a position of weakness? Doesn’t it pay tohold back，play it cool and wait until the other half has shown their hand first? “A really good relationship should be about being fair and being equal，”says psychologist Sidney Crown?“But love is seldom equal．”All relationships go through power struggles but，he says，if a love imbalance continues for years，the rot will set in．＂That feeling of‘I’ve always loved you more’may be subverted(颠覆，破坏)for a time，but it never goes away completely and it often emerges in squabbling(大声争吵)．”In love，at least，the silent，withholding type is not always the most powerful．“ne strongest one in a relationship is often the person who feels confident enough to talk about their feelings，”says educational psychologist Ingrid Collins．Psychosexual therapist Paula Hall agrees．“The one with the upper hand is often the person who takes the initiative．In fact．The person who says‘I love you’first may also be the one who says‘I’m bored with you’first．’’Hall believes that much depends on how“I love you”is said and the motivation of the person saying it． “Is it said when they’re drunk ? Is it said before their partner flies off on holiday。and what it really means is‘Please don’t be unfaithful to me’?By sayin9‘I love you’，they really saying‘Do you love me?’If so，wouldn’t it just be more honest to say that?”Collins agrees that intention is everything．“It’s not what is said，but how it’s said．What it comes down to is the sincerity of the speaker．’’根据以上内容，回答51-65题。What is the main idea of this passage?A．The importance of“I love you”．B．The meaning of“I love you”．C．The time of saying“I love you”．D．The place of saying“I love you”．

56、 At the European Commission in Brussels，they have a joke about the work interpreters dO一 “Languages”，they say，“have nothing to do with interpretation，it helps to know them·”Anyone thinking of becoming an interpreter would bear this so well in mind．Translating languages，especially in a political context，involves far more than mere linguistic ability． To work in an international organization，such as the United Nations，you need to be approved by one of the various international translators or‘interpreters’associations．To achieve this，you must experience rigorous and lengthy trainin9，either at an accrediting organization’s own school，or on a postgraduate course at university．But a qualification in languages is not the only route into the iob．At London’s University of Westminster，candidates get offered a place on the interpreter’s course if they canshow that they have“lived a bit”，in the words of one lecture．Young people who have．just left university often lack adequate experience of life． The University also looks for candidates who have lived for long time in the countries where their acquired languages are spoken．They are also expected to have wide cultural interests and a good knowledge of current affairs．This broad range of interests are essential in a job which can require interpreting discussions of disarmament(裁军)on Monday，international fishing rights on Tuesday，multinational finance on Wednesday，and the building and construction industry on Thursday． Interpreters also rely on adrenaline(肾上腺素)一which is caused by the stress and challenges of the job—to keep them going through their demanding schedules．Many admit that theyenjoy the buzz of adrenaline they get from the job，and it’s known that their heart rates speed up while they are working. It’s also a job with its own risks and excitement．Interpreters are needed in war zones as well as in centers of international diplomacy，like the U．N． 根据以上材料，回答56-70题

Mrs．Baker： My opinion is“Get the Army in”．Allthepower stations should be managed by the army．The strikers should be thrown into prison．That’s what this country needs．Why must we all suffer just because a few men are greedy?If they don’t like their jobs，nobody’s forcing them to work．They should try and live on 50 dollars a week like I have t0．Perhaps they’d keep their mouths shut then． Miss Slater： Let’s face it．It’s neither here nor there．The electricity workers are in a strong position．Perhaps we can’t do anything about it．What I say is：let them have their 250 dollars SO we can return to work．I mean，the government wastes the taxpayers’money all the time on trivial things．How can anyone say 250 dollars is“too much”?Pop singers get more．Nurses get less．It’s just one of those things． 1 Now match each of the persons61-65to the appropriate statement． Note:there are two extra statements statements
