第一节　阅读理解(共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Last year, I lived in Chile for half a year. I lived with a Chilean family and had the responsibilities of any Chilean teenager.I had good days and bad days I didn't understand.
Chuquicamata, my host community, is a mining camp.When I arrived there, I was scared.It was so different from what I was used to.There were lots of dogs on the streets, and there was no downtown, few smoothly paved streets, and little to do for entertainment.Rain was not seen very often; earthquakes and windstorms were frequent.
I had studied Spanish for two and a half years and was always one of the best students in my class.But in my first week in Chile I was only able to communicate and needed one person to whom I could explain my shock.I couldn't speak the thoughts in my head and there were so many.
Most exchange students experience this like me.Culture shock presents itself in everything from increased aggression towards the people to lack of appetite (食欲).I was required to overcome all the difficulties.
As time passed, everything changed.I began to forget words in English and to dream in Spanish and love Chilean food.I got used to not depending on expensive things for fun.Fun in Chuquicamata was being with people.And I took math, physics, chemistry, biology, Spanish, art, and philosophy.
But the sacrifices were nothing compared to the gain.I learned how to accept and to succeed in another culture.I now have a deeper understanding of both myself and others.
26.The author went to Chile last year with the purpose of ________.
A.paying a visit to Chile as a tourist
B.experiencing Chilean life as a teacher
C.studying Chilean culture as a college student
D.studying knowledge as an exchange student
27.On arriving in Chile, why did the author feel frightened?
A.Because he did not know how to get along with the local people.
B.Because it was full of dangers like earthquakes and windstorms.
C.Because its living conditions were worse than what he was used to.
D.Because it was not convenient for him to shop there.
28.In the first week in Chile the author ________.
A.was not used to eating Chilean food
B.had some friends to have a chat with
C.couldn't communicate with people
D.couldn't express his thoughts in English
29.What did the author most probably think of his life in Chile?

It seems that politicians around the world are thinking about the health of their countries.While in China, Chen Zhu has announced his plans for a universal health service and reform across health services.Gordon Brown, the UK Prime Minister, has also announced he is planning to make some changes in our health service.
The crux of Mr Brown's proposals is related to giving the NHS (National Health Service) a greater focus on prevention, rather than just curing patients.
He is planning to introduce increased screening for common diseases such as heart disease, strokes, and cancer, for example, breast cancer.In Britain there are 200,000 deaths a year from heart attacks and strokes, many of which might have been avoided if the condition had been known about.
Initially, the diagnostic (诊断的) tests will be available for those who are vulnerable,_or most likely to have the disease.One example is a plan to offer all men over 65 an ultrasound test to check for problems with the main artery (动脉), a condition which kills 3,000 men a year.
The opposition have criticized Mr Brown's proposals, saying that they are just a trick, and claiming that there is no proper timetable for the changes.They also say that Mr Brown is reducing the money available for the treatment of certain conditions while putting more money towards testing for them.
The NHS was founded in 1948, and is paid for by taxation.The idea is that the rich pay more towards the health service than the poor.However, in recent years there has been a great increase in the use of private healthcare, because it's much quicker.NHS waiting lists for operations can be very long, so many people who can afford it choose to pay for medical care themselves.
31.The underlined word “vulnerable” in the fourth paragraph probably means ________.
A.sick B.weak
C.wounded D.old
32.All the following statements are true EXCEPT that ________.
A.all people should pay for their healthcare at the NHS

D.more money will be spent on testing people than before
33.Which of the following is the reason for the increasing private healthcare?
A.People are paying more attention to their own health.
B.People are well-off enough to pay their healthcare.
C.The NHS was not available for most of the people.
D.It's not so convenient for people to go to the NHS for their healthcare.
34.According to the passage, the purpose of the health reform plan in the UK is to ________.
A.encourage more private healthcare
B.focus on the prevention rather than on curing the patient
C.deal with the main artery problems
D.fight against the opposition in the UK
35.The author of this passage intends to tell us ________.
A.the NHS should be reformed right away
B.more and more people are dying from diseases
C.the plan to reform the NHS in the UK
D.the criticism of Mr Brown's proposals
C
These days, it's easy to fly across oceans for a vacation.Centuries ago, however, crossing the open seas required planning, handmade boats, and courage.
Scientists and historians have long been looking for clues to explain who crossed which oceans first.When it comes to travelling between Polynesia and South America, chickens may have been among the first ocean voyagers, according to new evidence.
After studying an ancient chicken bone, anthropologists (人类学家) from the University of Auckland in New Zealand now say that people (and chickens) traveled from Polynesia to what is now Chile about 620 years ago.The Inca people were already living in South America at that time, but the Polynesians would have been the first to get there by sea.Previous theories claimed that European explorers and their chickens sailed to South America first, but those voyagers didn't arrive until about a century later.
In 2002, archaeologists dug up 50 chicken bones from a site in Chile called El Arenal.The team from New Zealand analyzed one of these bones.According to their calculations, the bone is about 650 years old.
The researchers also compared the DNA from the South American chicken bone with the DNA from 11 chicken bones that had been found on the Polynesian islands of Tonga and American Samoa.These islands are 6,000 miles west of Chile.The bones found on the Polynesian islands are between 2,000 and 600 years old.
Results of the comparisons showed that the chicken bones from both the Polynesian and South American sites had one stretch of DNA in common.The researchers found the same stretch of DNA in feathers of two living chickens in Chile that belong to a modern breed (品种) that lays blue eggs.That DNA evidence suggests a close relationship among the chickens.
36.What people were the first to live in South America according to the passage?
A.The Inca people. B.The European people.
C.The Polynesians. D.The people from New Zealand.
37.When did the first European explorers get to South America?
A.About 620 years ago. B.About 520 years ago.
C.About 650 years ago. D.About 2,000 years ago.
38.Scientists got evidence that chickens were among the first to travel from Polynesia to South America by ________.
A.comparing the colors of eggs
B.studying some previous theories
C.comparing the DNA of chicken bones
D.asking the native people in South America
39.This passage mainly tells us that ________.
A.DNA can be used to analyze the origins of animals
B.scientists found the oldest chicken bones in Chile
C.chickens may possibly be among the first ocean voyagers
D.it was difficult for people to travel across the oceans in old times
40.This passage most probably appears in ________.
A.a book about chicken B.a report on human history
C.an exploring guideline D.a science magazine
D
It looks a bit like the coolers (冷却器) used to keep drinks fresh on a sunny day but the cool box being tested in hot Mozambique serves a higher purpose—saving lives from malaria (疟疾).
The new cool box is intended to keep malaria medicines at 25℃ or below in poor rural areas without electricity where temperatures can reach 45℃.Its developers hope the cool box will help save some of the one million lives lost to malaria worldwide every year—6,000 of them in Mozambique alone.
“At the beginning, the cool boxes will be used to store malarial drugs such as the rapid diagnostics tests for malaria，”said Parfait Komlan Edah, advisor to John Snow Incorporated, a US company developing the coolers.
“We will change the treatment pattern and procedure because the drugs are expensive and they have to be well preserved to be effective，” he said.
The project is still at an experimental stage.The coolers are currently being tested in three regions of Mozambique—Maputo, Tete and Zambezia.The tests will determine whether the coolers are adopted for use nationwide.
In Mozambique, malaria is the leading cause of death among children and there has been an increase in cases of malaria in recent years.
Faced with the upsurge in malaria, Mozambique's health ministry last year decided to expand the use of rapid diagnostics tests for the disease that can give a result within minutes.
The only trouble was that diagnostics tests have to be stored at temperatures of 25℃ or below and are currently only available in provincial hospitals that have refrigeration facilities.
The solution was to design “evaporative coolers”.The coolers have a water container at the top that is regularly refilled, and it keeps the contents of the box cool by evaporating water from the container.
The cooler project receives some of its funding from the US president's Malaria Initiative, which also supports other activities such as providing mosquito nets and awareness programmes.
41.The new cool box is mainly used to ________.
A.kill the virus that causes malaria
B.help doctors identify malaria
C.keep malarial drugs effective
D.develop a new kind of malarial drugs
42.Which of the following statements on the cooler project is TRUE?
A.It remains to be seen what effect the project will have.
B.It is expected that the project will expand worldwide.
C.It is forecasted that the project will reduce the price of malaria drugs.
D.It is concluded that the project will raise awareness about malaria.
43.The underlined word “upsurge” in Para.7 probably means ________.
A.sharp change B.rapid increase
C.strong infection D.great harm
44.What's the difficulty faced by poor rural areas in fighting malaria?
A.Lack of electricity or refrigeration facilities.
B.Lack of rapid diagnostics tests for malaria.
C.Lack of attention from official departments.
D.Lack of cooperation with other countries.
45.What do we mainly know from Para.9?
A.Why the new cool box was invented.
B.When the new cool box was invented.
C.What the new cool box looks like.
D.How the new cool box works.

A
What would you think if I told you I could eat 40% more food than other people—eating boxes of ice cream，bowls of noodles and plates of meat—all while losing weight?
You might hate me, thinking I have one of those annoyingly good metabolisms (新陈代谢) that just burn up fat the instant it enters my body.You might wonder if I have an intestinal (肠的) worm, or perhaps an eating disorder.Or maybe you'd just shrug your shoulders and figure I have a rich fantasy life.
You'd be wrong.
For my body to finish such_a_surprising_task,_I would have to be a mouse.Not just any mouse, but one lucky enough to be involved in a new study at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.
After identifying an enzyme (酶) that allows fat to be stored in the body, scientists fed mice without those enzymes, and found those mice were able to consume far more food than other mice—and still weigh 10% to 15% less.
Best of all, the mice that had no enzymes were in very good health, producing baby mice with no problem and generally acting like any other mouse.That's great news for obesity(肥胖) researchers, who think that scientists may figure out a way to prevent the fat-metabolizing (脂肪代谢) enzyme in humans and control weight gain.And such a pill would be very exciting for many struggling to get rid of dangerous extra pounds.
But don't start planning any big dinner just yet：At this point, of course, any pill for humans is but a twinkle (闪烁) in the eye of every medicine company's CEO.More tests are to be made, and eventually humans will be introduced in the test.
But for now, unfortunately, control in diet is still key.
26.What does “such a surprising task” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A.Eating a lot of food while losing weight.
B.Burning fat very quickly.
C.Controlling the diet.
D.Having a rich fantasy life.
27.Why did the author say he/she had to be a mouse in Paragraph 4?
A.Because a mouse can lose weight no matter how much it eats.
B.Because the weight-losing tests were made on the mouse.
C.Because the mouse has a very good metabolism.
D.Because the author wants to try the food without the enzyme.
28.In the experiment, the mice without those enzymes ________.
A.were in good condition
B.put on weight
C.became weak
D.could not have baby mice
29.What does the author want to show through the last two paragraphs?
A.You can be free of guilt when having big dinners.
B.Scientists cannot find the key to identifying the enzyme.
C.Don't overeat before the test is made on humans.
D.It is unnecessary to control weight at present.
30.The purpose of the passage is to ________.
A.tell the ways to lose weight
B.explain the cause of obesity
C.tell people to be aware of the obesity problem
D.introduce a new study that might be good for the obese
B
Have you ever seen people dance？Some dances are fast and others are slow.People's feet always move when they dance.They keep on moving until the music stops.
People have enjoyed dancing for a very long time.This story is of a different kind of dance.It is a dance without people or music.Yet this dance is one of the oldest in the world.It is the dance of bees.
If you have ever watched bees, you know that they are very clever.They also work hard looking for food and bringing it back to their home.
The home of the bees is called a beehive.Here hundreds even thousands of bees live.They work day and night building small walls of wax.There they make their honey.This is the same honey that we eat.
Where does the honey come from？Bees live on food from flowers.Have you seen bees flying around a flower garden？When a bee rests on a flower, it tries to go to the centre of it.There it takes in as much food as its body can hold.Then it flies to take the food back to the hive.At the hive, bees change this flower food into honey.Then they fly away for more food.
How do the bees know where to find the best food in the sweetest flowers？One bee acts as a guide.When it discovers good flowers, it flies back to the hive and tells the others.It does this by dancing for them.The bee dances on one side.This tells the other bees which way to go to find the flowers.But that is not all.The bee dances for some time.And the length of its dance tells the other bees how far they must fly to reach the flowers.When the bees see the dance, they know where the flowers are.They fly away and return with more food for the hive.
Sometimes we hear the music of the bees as they fly around, but few people have ever seen them dance.Yet without that dance we might never have sweet honey to eat.
31.The writer believes that ________.
A.people dance better than bees
B.people learned dance from bees
C.bees dance more often than people
D.bees don't like music
32.From this passage we know that the dance of bees means ________.
A.they are good at dance B.they want to show their beauty
C.they communicate with each other D.they have nothing to do
33.Which of the following is TRUE?
A.People get honey from flowers directly.
B.People draw honey from bees bodies.

D.People get honey from bees indirectly.
34.What character do bees have?
A.Dance loving. B.Hardworking.
C.Music loving. D.Active.
35.If a bee wants to get some information about the distance of food, he may watch closely at ________ of the other bees' dance.
A.the side B.the length
C.the place D.the time
C
The earth's most rich resource—water has become one of the most precious resources in the United States as rivers, lakes, and freshwater reservoirs are increasingly exploited for human use.Consequently, using precise farming techniques to refine “irrigation scheduling” is a research area of particular interest to Susan Moran, a researcher with the US department of Agriculture.She explains that in the southwest, irrigation is both difficult and expensive.There, she says, farmers have a tendency to over irrigate, spending both more time and money than necessary.
“I'm trying to provide new information that could be used by farmers to schedule irrigations to improve their profitability and use less water，” Moran says.“Farmers often look at weather changes and then schedule irrigation based on that information.But if they had better information, they could use scientific models to compute more precisely how much water their crop is using.”
Rather than guessing their crop's potential need for water based upon weather changes, farmers can use remote sensors to measure how much water their crop is actually using.This would give them a more accurate measure of how much more water it needs.
Moran believes that if farmers are getting good and timely measurements of plant and air temperature, then they can program when and how much water to give each crop through an irrigation system.No more water would be used than needed, thus saving cost and conserving water.
Moran introduces one study she conducted in Arizona to investigate the use of remote sensing data for scheduling cotton irrigations.Typically, those farmers irrigate ten times per growing season, but evidence showed that some of those farmers could achieve basically the same harvest with only nine irrigations.
“In those cases, one less irrigation saved more than all the cost of remote sensing data，” she states.“Both irrigation and satellite remote sensing data are expensive.But then again many farmers are used to wording together as a group.They are used to sharing.I'm hoping they could do the same with remote sensing data—purchase one scene over a large area to cover many farms, which would further reduce the cost.”
36.What does Moran think is the problem with farmers?
A.Over-used reservoirs. B.Precision farming.
C.Irrigation researches. D.Over-irrigation.
37.How can farmers get the new information about their crop?
A.To reschedule irrigation as required.
B.To watch weather changes regularly.
C.To use remote sensors as researchers suggest.
D.To use scientific models since computing is more reliable.
38.What do farmers check upon when they decide how much water each crop needs?
A.Profitability. B.Remote sensors.
C.The cost. D.Air temperature.
39.What's the purpose of Moran introducing the study she carried out in Arizona?
A.To investigate the use of remote sensing data.
B.To support her viewpoint in the previous paragraph.
C.To show how farmers can reap a harvest.
D.To criticize those farmers who used too much water.
40.What is among the best possible ways to help save farmers' money?
A.Changing irrigation. B.Sharing sensing data.
C.Buying one computer. D.Extending the farms.

Swedish sinologist (汉学家) Malmqvist celebrated his 85th birthday with his 20 more students in the Dra-gon House restaurant in Stockholm on Monday.During the dinner, he accepted a brief interview with the People's Daily Online.
While refusing to answer the question relating to the Nobel Prize since he himself is a member of the Nobel Prize Committee in Literature, he said his greatest wish is to have a Chinese writer to win the Nobel Prize.
He said that there had been a Chinese writer who won the Nobel Prize.That was Gao Xingjian who is a French citizen but writes in Chinese.He also quoted (引用) former premier Zhu Rongji's remark on Gao's winning.“I'm glad to hear that Chinese literature works can win the Nobel Prize.Chinese language has some thousand years of history and has great attraction.I believe more Chinese literature works will win the prize.”
Being asked whether translation is an obstacle (障碍) for Chinese literature to be widely recognized in the west, professor Malmqvist agreed.“Chinese literature has entered world.For me, it is not an obstacle.I have translated more than 40 Chinese books, Anna Chen also translated about 30, but it is not enough.Translation work needs to be strengthened so that more western readers can appreciate Chinese literature.But the translation must be good.One cannot rewrite the story.One must obey the original, learn the original language.”
Professor Malmqvist came to China in 1948 to study Chinese and has translated Chinese classic novels such as the Journey to the West.He said Chinese language is one of the greatest and most beautiful languages.
41.In Malmqvist's opinion, why hasn't Chinese literature been widely recognized in the west?
A.There are no good translators in the west.
B.No Chinese writers have ever won the Nobel Prize.
C.Western readers don't like Chinese literature.
D.Translation work remains to be strengthened.
42.From the passage we know Malmqvist ________.

C.has a deep feeling towards Chinese literature
D.has won the Nobel Prize of Literature
43.Malmqvist quotes Zhu Rongji's remark to show that ________.
A.only western writers can win the Nobel Prize
B.he is a friend of former premier Zhu Rongji
C.he believes Chinese writer will win the Nobel Prize
D.Gao Xingjian is a French writer not a Chinese writer
44.A good translation should ________.
A.be rewritten from the original story B.obey and respect the original
C.be added some beautiful words D.be in simple languages
45.We can infer that Malmqvist ________.
A.has mastered Chinese language and literature well

Just outside the northern Italian town of Bra, there rises a church tower with a clock that is a half hour slow.Though not far from the industrial city of Turin, Bra smells of roses, and leisure (悠闲) is the law.It is both the home of an international movement that promotes slow food and one of Italian cities that have joined the slow cities.In Bra, population 27,866, the town fathers have declared that all small food shops be closed every Thursday and Sunday.They forbid cars in the town square.All fruits and vegetables served in local schools must be organic (有机的).And as the movement goes well, the slow concept gradually spreads across Europe.
The argument for a Slow Europe is not only that it is good, but also that it can work.The Slow City Movement, which started in 1999, has improved local economies (经济) by promoting local goods and tourism.Young Italians are moving from larger cities to Bra, where unemployment is only 5 percent, about half the nationwide rate.Slow food and wine festivals draw thousands of tourists every year.Shops are doing well, many with sales rising at a rate of 15% per year.“This is our answer to the world.” says Paolo Samrnini, the founder of Slow Cities.
France is in favor of slow economics.Most outsiders have long been doubtful of the French model: short hours and long vacations.Yet the French are more productive than those in the United States and Britain, and have been for years.
The mystery of French productivity has risen an Europe wide debate about the advantages of working more slowly.

The engineer Camillo Olivetti was 40 years old when he started the company in 1908.At his factory in lvrea, he designed and produced the first Italian typewriter.Today the company's head office is still in Ivrea, near Turin, but the company is much larger than it was in those days and there are offices all around the world.
By 1930 there was a staff of 700 and the company turned out 13,000 machines a year.Some went to custo-mers in Italy, but Olivetti exported more typewriters to other countries.
Camilllo's son, Adriano, started working for the company in 1924 and later he became the boss.He introduced a standard speed for the production line and he employed technology and design specialists.The company developed new and better typewriters and the calculators.In 1959 it produced the ELLA computer system.This was the first mainframe computer designed and made in Italy.
After Adriano died in 1960, the company had a period of financial problems.Other companies, especially the Japanese, made faster progress in electronic technology than the Italian company.
In 1978, Carlo de Benedetti became the new boss.Olivetti increased its marketing and service networks and made agreements with other companies to design and produce more advanced office equipment.Soon it became one of the world's leading companies in information technology and communications.There are now five independent companies in the Olivetti group—one for personal computers, one for other office equipment, one for systems and services, and two for telecommunications.

Every kid more or less complains about school.But five to ten percent of kids dislike it so much that they don't want to attend it.If a child seems upset or anxious about school, pretends to be sick to stay home, repea-tedly winds up in the nurse's or principal's office, or refuses to talk about the school day, you should be concerned.
One fear that keeps children from enjoying school is separation anxiety.It most frequently occurs during times of family problems or when a child is about to enter a new school.With younger kids, watch out for that how you say good-bye those first few days of school.A firm “Have a great day, and I'll pick you up at 2：30！” is more confidence-inspiring than “Don't worry.I can be there in ten minutes if you need me.”
You can help your child handle fearful situations—from speaking up in class to taking tests—by rehearsing at home.Help make large projects less discouraging by breaking them into manageable pieces.Teach your child to replace thoughts such as “I'm going to fail” with “I can handle this”.
Some kids dislike school because they have no friends.This may be the case if your child is always alone, fakes illness to avoid class outings or gives away treasured possessions in an attempt to be liked.Often loneliness problems can be solved by improving social skills.A child may need to learn how to look others in the eye when he speaks, or how to talk above a whisper—or below a yell.You might teach a young child a few “friendship openers”， such as “My name's Tom.What's yours? Do you want to play games？”
36.When a school boy has separation anxiety, he is ________.
A.worried about his study
B.uncertain if he can deal with his family
C.eager to go to school
D.unwilling to leave his family for school
37.Which of the following is NOT a fearful situation for a new school kid?
A.Making a public speech. B.Taking an examination.
C.Finishing a lot of housework. D.Doing a big amount of homework.
38.When a child gives his beloved toy to an unfamiliar classmate, he must be stuck in ______.
A.separation anxiety B.complaints about school
C.a loneliness problem D.a fearful situation
39.Parents should do something to encourage their children, which one is unsuitable?
A.Say：“Don't worry.I can be there in ten minutes if you need me.”
B.Say：“Have a great day, and I'll pick you up at 2：30！”
C.Teach your child to replace thoughts such as “I'm going to fail” with “I can handle this”.
D.teach a young child a few “friendship openers”.
40.Which of the following best shows the composition of the passage?
(1)—Paragraph 1 (2)—Paragraph 2
(3)—Paragraph 3 (4)—Paragraph 4
A.(1)→(2)→(3)→(4) B.(1)(2)→(3)(4)
C.(1)(2)(3)(4) D.(2)(1)(4)(3)

When you're lying on the white sands of the Mexican Riviera, the stresses (压力) of the world seem a million miles away.Hey, stop! This is no vacation—you have to finish something!
Here lies the problem for travel writer and food critic (评论家), Edie Jarolim，“I always loved traveling and always liked to eat, but it never occurred to me that I could make money doing both of those things，”Jarolim said.Now you can read her travel advice everywhere in Arts and Antiques, in Brides, or in one of her three books, The Complate Idiot's Travel Guide to Mexican Beach Resorts.
Her writing began some eight years ago.After getting a PhD in English in Canada, she took a Test Frommer's travel guides, passed it, and got the job.After working at Frommer's, Jarolim worked for a while at Rough Guides in London, then Fodor's, where she fell so in love with a description of the southwest of the U.S.that she moved there.
Now as a travel writer, she spends one-third of her year on the road.The rest of the time is spent completing her tasks and writing reviews of restaurants at home in Tucson, Arigona.
As adventurous as the job sounds, the hard part is fact-checking all the information.Sure, it's great to write about a tourist attraction, but you'd better get the local museum hours correct or you could really ruin someone's vacation.
41.Which country does Jarolim live in now?
A.Mexico. B.The U.S. C.The U.K. D.Canada.
42.What does the underlined word “occurred” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.Happened. B.Exist.
C.Come into (a person's mind). D.Be found.
43.What is most difficult for Jarolim?
A.Working in different places to collect information.
B.Checking all the facts to be written in the guides.
C.Finishing her work as soon as possible.
D.Passing a test to write travel guides.
44.What do we know about Jarolim from the text?
A.She is successful in her job.
B.She finds her life full of stresses.
C.She spends half of her time traveling.
D.She is especially interested in museums.
45.What would be the best title for the text?
A.Adventures in Travel Writing
B.Working as a Food Critic
C.Travel Guides on the Market
D.Vacationing for a Living
