D
In China, some radio broadcasting stations use hotlines to encourage listeners to take part in the talk shows.
That is a good idea. Yes, the fact is that some people do nothing but break the whole programme.
Some people know little about the topic under discussion. Sometimes they do not even know what the host is talking about. So the host has to tell the caller what the show is about. Usually the caller will ask a few questions which express his hope and show his ignorance(无知). Then the host has to answer and explain ---how silly it is! It wastes a lot of time.
It seems that some people phone the hotlines for fun. They just want to let the listeners hear them. They do not care what the topic is, whether they themselves are interested in the topic or how silly they appear to be.
It is necessary for radio stations to improve the hotline programmes. In my opinion, if a caller does not know what is going on, the operator should not let the caller take part in it.
47. The underlined sentence “some people do nothing but break the whole programme” may tell us that _____
A. radio stations use hotlines in a wrong way
B. there are problems to solve in the use of hotlines by some radio broadcasting stations
C. the use of hotlines by some radio broadcasting stations is a good idea
D. some people have unclear thoughts
48. The underlined word“operator” in the last paragraph refers to_____
A. 话务员        B. 听众        C. 医生         D. 主持人

第二节信息匹配(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分)
请阅读下列相关信息,并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。
以下是几种舞蹈的介绍:
A, Ballroom dancing
Although mainly popular in Latin America, it is now gaining quite a following all over the world.  Examples of the are the cha-cha, tango and foxtrot. Although you"re basically required to master the fundamental steps, freestyle dancing is accepted and even encouraged for intermediate  (中级的)  and professional dancers.
B. Jazz
It is described as the dance that has almost all forms of dancing. It requires flexibility and grace. It emphasizes all nuances (细微差别) of body movement, so dancers are generally encouraged to wear tight fitting clothes to ensure that not even the smallest shift of the body will go unnoticed。
C. Aerobics
Technically, it"s not a dance but since it still involves body movement and rhythm, let"s put it in the list all the same. Aerobics is more suited to those who need to exercise but are easily bored by the more common workouts like jogging or sweating on the treadmill. Aerobics is also a good stepping stone for the more demanding forms of dancing because it improves your coordination.
D. Ballet
Lithe, flexible, graceful, elegant, poised ( 平衡的) - if you"re not all of those then you shouldn"t choose it. In ballet, each movement is an expression of a specific emotion so it must be done precisely and without flaw. As a rifle, ballet dancers should also be small and slender.
E. Hip Hop
It is the most popular form of dancing of today"s time, thanks to stars like Jennifer Lopez and Nelly. Hip hop is also known as street grooves and preferred by but not limited to teenagers and young adults because of its choreography (舞蹈设计). Hip hop is a good and fun place to start for amateurs.
F. Belly
Want to make your guy admire and gain a sexy belly at the same time? Then this Eastern dance is the answer to all your problems. Although all the shaking and bending can be somewhat exhausting, just remind yourself of your objectives and you"ll be A-okay.
请阅读以下人物的信息,然后为他们匹配合适的舞蹈。
56. Mark is a young and creative schoolboy, who is an amateur of dancing. But he just enjoys the dancing which can help him express himself freely with his self-designed steps, When he shows his dance to others, he will feel very happy and proud.
57. Roy is a little fat. He tried to do some exercise to lose weight. But he felt bored when jogging.  So he wants to find a new way, which can not only help him keep fit but also lay the base for learning some forms of dancing.
58. Claudia is a dance lover, who likes all kinds of dances. She has learned dancing for six months and has mastered some basic steps. Now she wants to improve her dancing skills and learn two kinds of Latin American dances.
59. Alice is a graceful and slim young girl, who has a good sense of balance. She hopes she could be a great dancer when she grows up. So now she is planning to choose a kind of dance that is suitable for her.
60. Joan often went out for fun with her friends, but now she isn"t willing to do that because of her slightly protruding (突出的) belly. In order to be sexy and slim again, she"ll try a kind of dance so that she can regain her confidence.

Nowadays, more and more people are using email, but sometimes we use it too much or use it inappropriately. To get the most out of email we need to use it carefully and sensibly. These are some simple tips to help you make a better use of email.
It is good to have separate email accounts for separate purposes. For example, you may have one for business and one for social activities. This means you can check the personal email in the evening without having to think about business. If you see an important message from your boss, it could ruin your weekend or evening. After all, most people want to relax themselves and get away from work at the end of the day. Don"t allow email to make you a slave to work. Some people feel it is inconvenient to check 2 different email accounts. But the relative inconvenience is easily outweighed by the benefits.
Many people ignore the title of an email. If the subject changes don’t keep using an old “re: irrelevant title.” A good title increases the chance that people will actually read your email rather than just leaving it for later. A bad title may even get deleted as spam.(垃圾邮件)
Emails can be brief and to the point. If the message has to be long, make sure it is broken up into different sections, which are easy to read. But, generally you should aim to keep it less than 5 sentences. This is good for both the writer and the reader.
If somebody sends some important documents, files or message, make sure you, at least, acknowledge their receipt(接收). Otherwise they may be uncertain that you’ve got them. It doesn"t have to be long; it can be quite short.
If you find yourself sending similar answers to many people, write a draft message and save it in your drafts folder (or write it in Word). You can use this standard response for emailing many people. Don’t forget to personalize it by adding their names.
Having a signature looks professional and saves typing the same information. Remember people may wish to contact you through other ways. So make sure you have a phone number and address in your email. If relevant, add any qualifications and websites that you have. This gives people a chance to find out more about you.
