第一节 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Robert Owen was born in Wales in 1771. At the age of ten he went to work. His employer had a large private library so Owen was able to educate himself. He read a lot in his spare time and at nineteen he was given the job of superintendent(监工) at a Manchester cotton mill. He was so successful there that he persuaded his employer to buy the New Lanark mill in Scotland.
When he arrived at New Lanark it was a dirty little town with a population of 2,000 people. Nobody paid any attention to the workers' houses or their children's education. The conditions in the factories were very bad. There was a lot of crime and the men spent most of their wages on alcoholic drinks.
Owen improved the houses. He encouraged people to be clean and save money. He opened a shop and sold the workers cheap, well-made goods to help them. He limited the sale of alcoholic drinks. Above all, he fixed his mind on the children's education. In 1816, he opened the first free primary school in Britain.
People came from all over the country to visit Owen's factory. They saw that the workers were healthier and more efficient than in other towns. Their children were better fed and better educated. Owen tried the same experiment in the United States. He bought some land there in 1825,but the community was too far away. He could not keep it under control and lost most of his money.
Owen never stopped fighting for his idea. Above all he believed that people are not born good or bad. He was a practical man and his ideas were practical. "If you give people good working conditions," he thought, "they will work well and, the most important thing of all, if you give them the chance to learn, they will be better people."
56. For Owen, his greatest achievement in New Lanark was _____________.
A. improving worker's houses B. helping people to save money
C. preventing men from getting drunk D. providing the children with a good education
57. From the passage we may infer that Owen was born ___________.
A. into a rich family B. into a noble family
C. into a poor family D. into a middle class family
58. Owen's experiment in the United States failed because _______.
A. he lost all his money B. he did not buy enough land
C. people who visited it were not impressed D. it was too far away for him to organize it properly
59. We may infer form the passage that no children in Britain could enjoy free education until ____.
A. 1771 B. 1816 C. 1825 D. 1860

The Top 4 Lies Girls Hear
1. “You'll never be good at math.”
It's generally accepted that boys are good at math while girls aren't. The fact is that it isn't true—at least, it doesn't have to be.
When girls reach their teens，most of them lose their interest in math. They're trying to be regarded as female(女性)．They want to stay away from things that are boy things, and math is still considered a boy thing. Math class is hard, but if you gave it a chance you could be great at math, especially beacuse you are a girl.
2. “Being skinny is good, and how you diet is your business.”
Lots of web sites tell visitors that losing interest in eating is a beautiful thing. These“skinny is better”sites are lying. Losing interest in eating is a disease, not a fashion statement. It can kill you.
3. “You don't deserve to make as much money as a guy.”
It's said that in 2002 women who work full-time earn about 23 percent less than guys earn. Once you see real women succeeding in cool jobs, you'll truly get that you're worth just as much as—or more than any guys.
4. “Caffeine(咖啡因)will help you study better.”
Caffeinated soft drinks have long been advertised as must haves when you have to work very hard. But if you want to do your body a big favor, you'd better give up caffeine altogether.
63 Why do girls lose their interest in math?
A．Because they don't realize the importance of math.
B．Because math class is too hard for girls.
C．Because they aren't interested in the things which are considered boy things.
D．Because girls are not as clever as boys.
64. The word “skinny” means________.
A. pretty B．strong
C．tall D．slim
65. Supposing in 2002 a man earns $20,000, how much will a woman who doing the same job probably get?
A．$10,000 B．$15,000
C．$20,000 D．$25,000
66. Which of the statement is NOT true?
A. Girls sometimes can do better than boys in math.
B. Being skinny is good for girls’ health.
C. Girls than earn as much money as boys do.
D. Caffeine can make people feel more excited.
D
I once rode all night and half a day through a snowstorm only to arrive in a town where we were booked to perform to find our concert had been canceled（取消） because of the weather．A handful of people hadn’t heard the news，however，and had managed somehow to make their way to the concert hall．
We were cold, tired and hungry. But there was something in the eyes of those few fans who had shown up that told us how badly they wanted to hear the music they knew we could play if only we would. There was certainly no place else for us to go. The entire town was held prisoner by the storm. Why not drink some coffee and pick a little country music?
When our show was over，an elderly lady approached（走近） the stage．“You don’t know how much this evening has meant to me，” she said．“Thank you for playing and singing for such a small crowd．Today is the first time I’ve smiled since my husband died．Your music has helped me to forget my problems for a while．”
Okay，so entertainers don’t cure cancer．But maybe, every once in a while, we cure some other things that are almost as important.
67．What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A．What the author’s hobby is．
B．How the author makes a living．

C．He was moved by an elderly lady.
D．He wanted to earn some money.
69．The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 probably means “ ”.
A．There was a prison in the town
B．The entire town was damaged by the storm
C．The performance was intended for prisoners

In my mind, he is someone interesting in traveling, swimming, and playing table tennis. Beside, it will be better for her to have a pet dog as I have been keeping one at home for some time.
