Have you ever shouted, “The rent is too damn high”? Shaking wall and hidden disgusting bugs? You’re not alone. The ancient Romans experienced the same ___51___ with their apartments. From mean landlords to sanitation(卫生) problems, pests to smells, Roman urban living was no walk in the park.
Even in the very early days of Rome, people were crowded together in uncomfortable quarters. This collection of animals of every kind mixed together, made life ___52___ for common citizens. And the close contact ___53___ diseases.

By the fourth century A.D., there were around 45,000 insulae in Rome, as ___55___ to fewer than 2,000 private homes.Many people were ___56___ into their quarters.

Though made of concrete brick, insulae were usually weakly built, ___58___ poor craftsmanship andlittle fund.They usually collapsed and killed passers-by. As a result, emperors ___59___ how high landlords could construct insulae.The maximum building height was 60 feet.
According to law then, builders were supposed to make walls at least an inch and a half thick, so as to ensure the ___60___ of the building. However, it didn’t work so well, especially since building codes were ___61___ by the landlords in order to save on the construction cost, and most renters were too poor to charge landlords. Therefore, the life-threatening accidents usually happened. Even if insulae didn’t fall down, they could be so ___62___ as to be washed away in a flood.

Section B
Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.
(A)
For anyone growing up in Singapore in the 1940s during the war, the idea of keeping a dog would never be a consideration. So, when my daughter, then 11 years old, asked me if we could have a dog when we were based in New York. The answer was no. I knew that she would tire of the animal soon and I would be responsible for looking after it. As this was not a reason which could be convincing to an 11 year old, I had to refuse on the grounds that the streets of New York were too dangerous for a child her age to walk a dog.
When we returned to Singapore in the mid 1970s, this reason was no longer credible. As such, there was a half-hearted agreement to look for a suitable Labrador retriever. One day we went to a pet shop nearby. There was no intention to buy anything. It was just an attempt to mollify a young girl and to put off to a future date any idea of buying a dog.
Needless to say, it did not work out as I had planned. After several minutes of looking around, we came across a little collie(柯利牧羊狗) that would not stop licking and nibbling our fingers. We fell in love with him instantly. My wife Penny was more firm. She came up with all the practical reasons a collie, with long and thick hairs, would be unsuitable in the country’s hot weather. But it was one against three and before we knew it, I was at the counter paying for the puppy and all the other stuff needed to look after it.
Back home, the work of raising a puppy began in earnest. My daughter came up with the name “Shakespeare” for the puppy, which would amuse everyone. We tried without too much trouble in the initial weeks to home-train him, and soon there was a fixed location in the garden for the dogshit.
Shakespeare is one of the most gentle, friendly and attentive dogs around. His gentle nature has over the years convinced many friends to have a dog as pet. He is attentive to people and can make them feel welcome. We love him so much that even the falling of two of his milk teeth would get us to wake up the vet at midnight.
All these years, he has been a constant and faithful companion to me. If I have hardly any complaints about my health, this is largely due to the long walks which we take in the morning without fail.
66. Why didn’t the author allow his daughter to have a dog in New York?
A. Because they couldn’t take good care of the dog during war.
B. Because New York street was unsafe for a girl to walk a dog.
C. Because he was afraid the dog would soon become his charge.
D. Because he knew his daughter was convinced by others to have a dog.
67. What made the family go to a pet shop one day?
A. To buy a dog to realize the daughter’s all-time dream.
B. To comfort his daughter for not giving her a dog.
C. To find some stuff suitable for raising a dog.
D. To sign an agreement with the pet shop for a dog.
68. The underlined word “three” in the third paragraph refers to ______.
A. the author, his daughter and the dog
B. the author, penny and his daughter
C. penny, his daughter and the dog.
D. the author, penny and the dog.
69. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The family didn’t train the dog well without professional guidance.
B. Many friends of the family offered to raise Shakespeare.
C. The family blamed the vet for the falling of Shakespeare’s milk teeth.
D. Shakespeare accompanies the author for morning walk every day.

Our magazine is bringing to you gourmet markets of the year:
St. Lawrence, Toronto, Canada
This farmers market has operated since 1803, when it cohabited with Toronto’s city hall. Redeveloped between the 1970s and 1990s after long neglect, the area’s mix of homes and businesses shows urban regeneration. More than 120 retailers display everything from seafood to coffee.
The market is in Toronto’s old town; Saturday is market day.
Union Square Greenmarket, New York City
Once a Manhattan focal point, by the 1970s Union Square had become deserted. Then Barry Benepe founded a farmers market in 1976, aiding struggling Hudson Valley farmers and reintroducing New Yorkers to seasonal food in one stroke. The market's huge variety in this now revitalized area surprised many supermarket shoppers.
The market is open on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, year-round.
Kreta Ayer Wet Market, Singapore
Like most things Singaporean, this Chinatown market is spotlessly clean. Its floor is hosed(水管浇) down regularly for hygiene, hence winning the market the term “wet market.” But in general the food is anything but germ-free: offerings range from turtles, frogs, and snakes (often still alive) to medicinal dried animal parts. The upstairs food center offers local breakfast fare, like spicy noodle soup.
Visit around 6 a.m. ahead of the crowds. The market closes around 1 p.m.
Borough Market, London, England
London’s oldest food market—here for more than 200 years—is unique among ordinary food bazaars for its sticking to wholesale business mode on weekdays. But for weekends it joins other common peers to delight individual customers with its retailed fine foods throughout the U.K. and beyond, from the choicest olive oils and cheeses to ostrich burgers and wild boar sausages.
In good weather, take a picnic into the gardens of Southwark Cathedral, next to the market.
La Vucciria, Palermo, Italy
In a sandy part of Palermo, and reflecting Sicily’s heady cultural syncretism, the brisk atmosphere of La Vucciria is not only European, but also Asian or even African. Musicians bang drums and sing Arabiansongs; circus artists perform ancient Asian magics. All these are infused in the smell of barbecued sausages and kebabs.
La Vucciria is off Piazza San Domenico. Take a local guide.
70. Compared with other world food markets, Borough Market is different because ______.
A. it’s the oldest food market in the world
B. it offers food unique for British people
C. it serves individual buyers only on weekends
D. it sells the world’s best olive oils and cheeses
71. The underlined word “syncretism”in the passage is closest in meaning to ______.
A. advantage B. combination C. sympathy D. requirement
72. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. St Lawrence market was founded between the 1970s and 1990s
B. Union Square Greenmarket was built specially for supermarket shoppers
C. Kreta Ayer Wet Market was famous for the cleanness of its food
D. There are not many visitors in Kreta Ayer Market at around 6 a.m.
73. In which of the following magazine does the passage most probably appear?
A. Food Joy B. Universe Outlook
C. Economy Weekly D. Architecture Pioneer
(C)
One of the common arguments of homeschooling opponents is that homeschooled kids aren’t prepared for life in the real world. The idea is that homeschoolers are sheltered with limited interaction outside of their immediate family.
However, contrary to the imagined picture of homeschooled kids crowded around the dining room table for hours on end with only their brothers and sisters for companionship, homeschooled kids tend to be communicating with a variety of people in a wide range of ages. Most homeschooled children regularly accompany their parents on outings and errands, providing them the opportunity to be exposed to a variety of settings.
They learn to graciously answer the elderly gentlemen why they aren’t in school today or the nosy cashier who wants to quiz them on their maths levels.
And it is quite common for homeschooled kids to be part of cooperation, to take classes outside the home with other homeschooled kids, or to participate in sports, providing them with plenty of occasions to interact with children and adults outside their immediate family.
Parents of children are responsible for guiding their children while homeschool parents are in a position to do so on a much more regular basis. Many people consider this sheltering, but actually it falls more under the heading of mentoring.
Because they are being mentored by adults, rather than same-aged peers, homeschooled kids often have the opportunity to learn better coping and interpersonal skills at an earlier age. But being able to guide our children doesn’t mean taking them as our appendent commanding them about. It doesn’t mean covering up for them or jumping in to fight their battles. It does mean that we must offer them a more mature horizon on developing skills to deal with difficult situations than their same age peers might offer.
Many traditionally-schooled teens graduate with the expectation of entering college to pursue their future career without having much time to explore their passions. While the high school years do offer many opportunities for teens in a traditional school setting, homeschooling often provides more time and opportunity to delve into areas of interest more fully. This is due to the fact that a homeschooled teen’s education can be highly tailored to their skills and interests.
In essence, coupling a well-designed education with the time management skills that homeschooling can provide often results in teens more prepared and better equipped forreal world experiences than public perception may expect.
74. Homeschooled kids have enough interpersonal experience by ______.
A. learning communicating abilities from their brothers and sisters.
B. maintaining close relationship with their parents at home
C. dealing with embarrassing questions raised by people of various backgrounds
D. establishing close link with former classmates from different schools.
75. What should parents do while guiding homeschooled kids?
A. Parents should judge for kids what people to have contact with.
B. Parents should help kids to form a developed attitude toward conflicts
C. Parents should participate more in various activities with kids.
D. Parents should monitor how kids command their affairs.
76. Homeschooled kids are more suitable for real world life because of ______.
A. more work introduction they get during the age of high school
B. enough work training they receive during home schooling
C. well-planned education and good time management ability
D. more interests and good habits they have developed
77. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Homeschooling: its pros and cons.
B. Homeschooling: its history and future.
C. Questions you may ask about homeschooling.
D. Homeschooling: a well-working form of educationSection C
Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.
At the most macro level, jobs within the financial services industryfall into two very broad categories, producers and support. Within a given firm, the producer universe typically has the most attractive salary package, the most prestige and the most political influence. As their names suggest, producers are viewed as the driving force within a financial services company, the people who generate the revenue and profits.Accordingly, their performance evaluations and http://financecareers.about.com/od/compensation/a/compensation.htm salary normally are closely linked to measures of the profits directly traceable to their efforts
Meanwhile, support personnel are viewed as having assisting roles, their utility, in the final analysis, being determined by how well they support and enhance the efforts of producers.
For an employee, in evaluating a potential financial services employer, whatever your specific field of work might be, investigate the acceptance within its corporate culture to career changes across the producer and support, in each direction. Prepare for the possibility that, in the future, your career goals and interests will be different. You might make possibly dramatic shifts in career direction.Moreover, making such a shift normally should be much easier within your current employer, where you have an established track record and hopefully also have cultivated the right internal contacts, than with an entirely new firm.
In some firms outside the financial services industry, producers actually are paid, on average, less than support staff. It thus takes more efforts to analyze and determine if this is indeed the case, based on the company’s financial reports available to the public. If so, one should be especially careful when accepting a producer position at a company with such a reversed set of rewards.
In general in financial industry, it is much easier for a producer to transit into a support role, than for the opposite to occur. This is seen, for example, when a financial advisor gives up his or her client accounts and moves into a managerial or supervisory position. On the other hand, a data programmer would find it particularly hard, or for some cases, impossible to become an investment banker.Investment bankers and securities analysts, typically start out young in the field, fresh from MBA programs or, right out of undergraduate studies.
(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)
78.Within financial industry, what decides a producer’s income?
79. For an employee in financial industry, a potential employer’s ______ should be particularly considered.
80. Employees can judge the position of the producers in a company with the help of ______.
81. According to the passage, what type of job is the Investment banker?
