阅读理解。     Millions of Americans return from long-distance trips by air, but their luggage doesn"t always come
home with them. Airline identification tags(标签) can come loose, and the bags go who-knows-where.
And passengers leave all kinds of things on planes.
     The airlines collect the items and, for 90 days, attempt to find their owners. They don"t keep them,
since they"re not in the warehouse business. And by law, they cannot sell the bags, because the airlines
might be tempted to deliberately misplace luggage.
     So once insurance companies have paid for lost bags and their contents, and they no longer belong
to passengers, a unique store in the little town of Scottsboro, Alabama, buys them. The "Unclaimed
Baggage Center," is so popular that the building, which is set up like a department store, is the
number-one tourist attraction in all of Alabama. More than one million visitors stop in each year and
take one of the store"s shopping carts on a hunt for treasures.
     Each day, clerks bring out 7,000 new items, and veteran(老练的)shoppers rush to paw over them.
You can find everything from precious jewels to hockey sticks, best-selling novels, leather jackets,
tape recorders, surfboards, even half -used tubes of toothpaste.
     The store"s own laundry washes or cleans all the clothes found in luggage, then sells them. The
Unclaimed Baggage Center has found guns, illegal drugs and even a live rattlesnake.
     The store has a little museum where some of its most unusual acquisitions(获得物) have been
preserved. They include highland bagpipes, a burial mask from an Egyptian pharaoh"s tomb, and a
medieval suit of armor.
     Statistics indicate that less than one-half of one percent of luggage checked on U.S. carriers is
permanently lost and available to the store.1. Paragraph1 shows that many passengers lose their luggage because______.A. they are forgetful
B. they are in a hurry
C. there is no lost and found office in many airports

B. they are likely to make a profit on the bags on purpose 
C. some bags are expensive
D. they have to keep the bags as long as possible3. The Unclaimed Baggage Center is very popular because______.A. there"s a large variety of goods.

D. Visitors will enjoy some amusing activities there.4. What can we infer from the passage?  A. A little museum will keep all the precious unclaimed baggage.
B. The percentage of passengers who lose their baggage for ever is small.
C. The things in the Unclaimed Baggage Center are articles for daily use.
D. People are not allowed to buy the illegal things in the store.5. What is the main purpose of the passage?  A. To introduce how the unclaimed baggage in the airports is handled in America.
B. To introduce an attractive place to tourists.
C. To remind passengers of taking care of their baggage.
D. To advise the airlines to find the owners of the unclaimed baggage.

阅读理解     When you"re an employee of a company, no matter the size, it"s common to see co-workers
promoted, or transferred to a different department. But there is another way to move around-by
creating a new position for yourself. I did this several years ago, though I wasn"t actively looking
for a different job.
     In 2007, I was hired at the Transamerica Life Insurance Company, as a customer service
representative in the distributions services department. I processed requests for distributions from
our annuity(养老金)policy holders around the country. Someone might have forgotten to sign a
form, for example, or might have omitted security information. To solve the problem, I"d mail the
person a letter.
     The company had been through several combinations, so in our department alone we had a
collection of about 140 templates(模板) for letters related to distributions. The longer I worked
with the letters, the more I saw how they could be improved. Some had overlapping information
and could be combined. Some had incorrect grammar or needed updating. I also noticed that industry
terminology(专业术语) wasn"t standard across all the versions.
     When I told my department supervisor about this in 2008, she agreed that the letters needed
revamping. She said I should stop what I"d been doing and start the new work. In a relatively short
time, I was able to make numerous improvements and reduce the number of letters to 70. It was an
informal job change until a managers" meeting several months later.
     At that meeting, a vice president who was unaware of my new work mentioned that the division"s
entire stock of 1,700 letters should be reviewed. My manager told her that she knew the perfect
person for the job-me. The position was still considered temporary when I took on the extra tasks,
but I was able to show that the work had value, and I was officially promoted and given a raise in
November 2009.1. According to Paragraph 1, which of the following statements is true?A .The author admired those who got a promotion in his company.
B. The author tried his best to get a promotion in his company
C. The author was eager to seek another job.
D. It is no surprise to see people around us change their positions.2. Which of the following problems with the letters is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. Some information needed to be united.  
B. Some information was overlooked.
C. Some had grammatical mistakes.    
D. Industry terminology didn"t meet the standard. 3. The underlined word "revamping" in Paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to         .A. improving    
B.  rebuilding    
C.  repeating    
D.  strengthening 4.The author started to review the letters when         .A. he was hired by the company    
B. his department supervisor agreed his idea
C. he was recommended at a managers" meeting              
D. he was promoted5. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. Where there is will, there is a way.
B. Don"t let the chance go, when it comes.
C. Creating a position, and earning a promotion.
D. Ways to get a promotion.

      The knowledge society will be a highly competitive one, for organizations and individuals alike.
      Information technology, although only one of many new features of the next society, is already
having one hugely important effect: it is allowing knowledge to spread near-instantly , and making
it accessible to everyone. Given the ease and speed at which information travels, every institution
in the knowledge society-not only businesses, but also schools, universities, hospitals and increasingly
government agencies too-has to be globally competitive, even though most organizations will continue
to be local in their activities and in their markets. This is because the Internet will keep customers
everywhere informed on what is available anywhere in the world, and at what price.
      This new knowledge economy will rely heavily on knowledge workers. At present, this term is
widely used to describe people with considerable theoretical knowledge and learning :doctors,
lawyers, teachers, accountants chemical engineers. But the most striking growth will be in “knowledge
technologists”: computer technicians, software designers, analysts in clinical labs, manufacturing
technologists, paralegals. These people are as much manual(体力劳动)workers and they are
knowledge workers; in fact, they usually spend far more time working with their hands than with
their brains, but their manual work is based on a substantial amount of theoretical knowledge which
can be acquired only through formal education ,not through an apprenticeship(学徒期). They
are not, as a rule, much better paid than traditional skilled workers, but they see themselves as
"professionals”, just as unskilled manual workers in manufacturing were the dominant social and
political force in the 21th century, knowledge technologists are likely to become the dominant
social-and perhaps also political-force over the next decades.
1. The chief reason for keen (激烈的)competition in the knowledge society is that _________.
A. organizations and individuals are easily influenced by information
B. customers keep track of new products worldwide
C. anyone can have access to knowledge anytime and anywhere
D. local organizations such as universities and hospitals will be globalized.
2. The quick spread of knowledge in the next society___________.
A. is based on information technology
B. results from a highly competitive society
C. is likely to increase information flow
D. will become the biggest problem to tackle
3. “Knowledge workers” mentioned in the essay most probably refer to ________.
A. those with primary and secondary education
B. those who work with hands rather than brains
C. those who have acquired theoretical knowledge through apprenticeship
D. those who have received higher education and got theoretical knowledge
4. All of the following are characteristic of “knowledge technologist” except that ________.
A. they spend more time on manual work than on mental work
B. they are equipped with a large amount of theoretical knowledge
C. they see themselves professionals rather than traditional skilled workers.
D. They acquire skills through traditional apprenticeship
5. The underlined word “dominant” in this passage probably means________.
A. most influential    
B. most interesting  
C. most diligent  
D. quite available
