More than 10 million Chinese cultural relics have been lost overseas，most of which were stolen and illegally shipped out of China during the times of war before 1949.About 1.67 million pieces are housed in more than 200 museums in 47 countries，which accounts for 10 percent of all lost Chinese cultural relics，and the rest are in the hands of private collectors.
Most of these treasures are owned by museums or private collectors in the United States，Europe，Japan and Southeast Asian countries.There are more than 23,000 pieces in the British Museum，most of which were stolen or bought for pennies more than 100 years ago.
The major method to recover these national treasures was to buy them back.In some cases，private collectors donated the relics to the government.Also the government can turn to official channels(渠道) to demand the return of relics.
In 2003，a priceless bronze pig’s head dating from the Qing Dynasty was returned to its home in Beijing after it was removed by the Anglo-French Allied Army over 140 years ago.Macao entrepreneur(企业家) Stanley Ho donated 6 million yuan to buy it back from a US art collector and then donated it to the Poly Art Museum in Beijing.
Although buying-back is the most feasible way to recover the lost treasures，limited funding is always a big headache.
In recent years，the Chinese government has improved efforts to recover the precious cultural relics lost overseas.It has started a national project on the recovery of the treasures and has set up a database(数据库) collecting relevant information.It has signed several international agreements with many countries on this matter，and is also looking for international cooperation to recover the relics by working closely with several international organizations.
5． What is the passage mainly about?
A．How to recover cultural relics.
B．The efforts to recover Chinese cultural relics.
C．Stanley Ho donated a bronze pig’s head to Beijing.
D．Chinese cultural relics were stolen by the Anglo-French Allied Army.
6． Which of the following statements about the bronze pig’s head is NOT true?
A．It was made in the Qing Dynasty.
B．It is now in the Poly Art Museum in Beijing.
C．It was donated by the French government to China.
D．It was removed by the Anglo-French Allied Army over 140 years ago.
7． We can infer from the passage that ________.
A．China has enough money to buy all the cultural relics back
B．the Chinese government has done a lot to recover the lost cultural relics
C．many countries have returned the lost cultural relics to China for free
D．China is preparing to set up a database to collect information about the lost cultural relics
8． The underlined word “feasible” in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by “________”．
A．possible B．difficult
C．popular D．careful

One of the world’s richest men has taken a close interest in one of man’s most basic functions：visiting the toilet.Bill Gates’ charitable organization，the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation，is looking for inventors to design the toilet of the future，which，they hope，would improve sanitation for millions of people around the world.
So，what’s wrong with the traditional flush toilet(抽水马桶)？Firstly，it wastes a huge amount of potential drinking water.This is a real problem in many areas of the developing world，where，according to the United Nations’ estimates，unsafe sanitation causes half of all hospitalizations.Younger people are particularly at risk.Illnesses which cause diarrhea(腹泻) are responsible for the deaths of about 1.5 million children a year.Secondly，standard lavatories simply aren’t practical in remote areas.
The challenge set by Bill Gates was to come up with a latrine(户外厕所) which works without running water，electricity or a septic tank(化粪池)．It also needed to operate for less than 5 cents(0.3 RMB)．
28 designs were displayed at the recent Reinvent the Toilet Fair in Seattle，USA.Among them was one which turned poo(粪) into electricity using microwaves，another which converted poo into charcoal，and yet another which used urine(尿) for flushing.
But the winner was a solar-powered design which generated hydrogen gas and electricity.The team from the California Institute of Technology picked up a prize of $100,000，almost 650,000 RMB.
Clearly Bill Gates doesn’t feel he’s flushing money down the toilet.After the Seattle event he said，“We couldn’t be happier with the response we’ve gotten.” Gates has even pledged $370 million (2.2 billion RMB) more to the future toilet project.They hope to field test more prototypes over the next three years.
1． Why is Bill Gates paying people to invent new toilets?
A．He is concerned about energy saving.
B．He is concerned about people’s health benefits.
C．He wants to earn a profit from the invention.
D．He just wants to raise people’s awareness of invention.
2． One problem with the traditional toilet is that________.
A．it consumes a considerable quantity of drinking water
B．it is not fit to use in most areas
C．it threatens people’s health，especially the adults’
D．it takes a lot of money
3． Which of the following statements about Bill Gates’ ideal toilet is TRUE?
A．It should work with little running water.
B．It should not depend on electricity.
C．It should be equipped with a septic tank.
D．It needs no money to operate properly.
4． What can we infer from the passage?
A．Bill Gates is wasting money on the project.
B．Bill Gates’ standards are too high.
C．There will be more designs next year.
D．Bill Gates is satisfied with the progress of the project.

第三部分 阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)
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。
A
What if it isn’t a dog-eat-dog world？What if caring for a dog or for a mom with Alzheimer’s(老年痴呆症) makes you stronger and allows you to live longer?
Researchers at the University of California，Berkeley are challenging our long-held belief that humans are born to be selfish.
Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection was misunderstood by his male followers，the researchers say.Rather than “every man for himself”，Darwin believed that humans are successful as a species precisely because of our educational，selfless and sympathetic characteristics.
Why has it taken so long for Darwin’s central revelation(揭示) to be properly understood？“We’ve had too many men in social science，” Berkeley psychology professor Dacher Keltner told me from an interview.“Female scientists acknowledge that caring for people is part of human nature according to the research，which shows the human ability to care exists in our brains and nerve systems.”
In my book Passages in Caregiving，I urge women who take the whole responsibility for taking care of an elderly parent or a sick relative to build a “Circle of Care”．Reach out to your brothers and sisters，friends，neighbors and community volunteers to help you care，because no one can perform this overwhelming role alone.You will be as shocked as I to learn how the most selfless caregivers are rewarded with longer life.
Sympathy is not a woman’s word.In fact it makes all of us stronger under stress and more highly respected by our peers.For so long we have repeated the false saying “Nice guys finish last”．But the 40 richest Americans committed to doing good by donating half their fortunes are no_spring_chickens.So here is my new explanation：Nice guys die last.
56．The first paragraph serves to________.
A．give the background of the topic
B．blame the world for selfishness
C．bring out the topic of the passage
D．urge people to care for a dog
57．In Passages in Caregiving，women are advised to______.
A．help as many people as possible
B．take good care of themselves
C．learn how to live a longer life
D．share the responsibility of caring with others
58．The underlined words “no spring chickens” in the last paragraph refer to________.
A．rich people B．poor people
C．young people D．aged people
59．Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A．Measures Must Be Taken to Improve the World
B．Darwin’s Theory of Evolution is out of Date Now
C．Selflessness Could Be the Secret to Longer Life
D．Males and Females Have Different Opinions about Selflessness
B
No poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed”，until it has been read aloud by someone，teacher or student.Better still，perhaps，is the practice of reading it twice，once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end，so_the_sound_of_the_poem_is_the_last_thing_one_hears_of_it.
All discussions of poetry are，in fact，preparations for reading it aloud，and the reading of the poem is finally，the most telling “interpretation” of it，suggesting tone，rhythm，and meaning all at once.Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice，on records or on film，is obviously a special reward.But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it or，best of all，reciting it.
I have come to think，in fact，that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analyzing” it，if there isn’t time for both.I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry.Poetry is “a criticism of life” “a heightening of life”．It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.
I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry.Those who don’t like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else.But those，who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature，about its sound as well as its sense，and they must make_room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.
60．The best explanation for the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 should be________.
A．we should end the analyzing of the poem by reading it aloud
B．students should read the poem at the end of poem class
C．we feel the original meaning of the author by hearing the poem read aloud after discussion
D．sometimes the sound of the poem represents the meaning of it
61．What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply (暗示)?
A．The teaching of poetry should have been much more stressed.
B．The teaching of poetry is more important than the teaching of any other subject.
C．One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry.
D．Poetry is the foundation of all languages and literature courses.
62．The underlined phrase “make room” in the last paragraph can be best replaced by “________”．
A．build a booth
B．provide equipment
C．leave a certain amount of time
D．set aside enough space
63．Which is NOT true of the following according to the passage?
A．A poem should be discussed or “analyzed”．
B．All discussions of poetry are preparations for reading it aloud.
C．The writer thinks reading a poem aloud is much less important than “analyzing” it.
D．The writer thinks that teachers must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it while teaching poetry.
C
The Benefits of Helping Others
Most of us have needed help with something at some point in our lives.The old saying “no man is an island” is absolutely true.And where would we be if someone hadn’t been there to help us through?
Humans seem to be born with the ability to help one another.The need to survive drives us to be there for one another，even strangers.In the United States，the practice of helping others can be traced back to the country’s origins when settlers first arrived on the land.The hardships of the group required each member to look out for the other.By taking care of the group，each person was in effect taking care of himself.
The benefits of helping others can come in different forms.Of course there’s recognition.For some，recognition from others is a precious gift，and they need nothing more.
New research indicates that helping others raises quality of life for the helpers themselves.When we volunteer our time to do something for others，such as helping out an elderly neighbour or taking part in a local community project，it can be good news for our health，our children’s study and even reduce the local crime rate，too.
Helping others also brings good feelings to the giver and the receiver of the good deeds.Using your special gifts to help others can be a_gift to yourself as you enjoy a self-esteem(自尊心) boost for making others’ lives better and the world a better place.
Real happiness is difficult to define and is different for different peoples and cultures，but what is clear is that community and having strong relationships with others are key to achieving happiness.
It’s been said that the best way to heal grief，or hurt is to help someone else heal theirs.Perhaps in doing so，we find the hope for ourselves.
64．The old saying in the first paragraph tells us that________.
A．each needs help
B．each needs to be independent
C．each must be a helper
D．each has life problems
65．The early settlers in the United States________.
A．naturally developed the ability to overcome hardships
B．learnt to live an independent life quickly
C．had to depend on the help of natives to survive
D．had to live in a group to survive
66．The writer believes that children from a volunteer’s family will be more likely to________.
A．grow physically strong
B．receive recognition from others
C．achieve higher grades
D．get used to a new school environment
67．What does “a gift”(underlined in Paragraph 5) refer to?
A．A good relationship with others.
B．A positive feeling.
C．Praise from others.
D．Good health.
D
A new study has found that making someone laugh is one of the best ways to woo(求婚) one’s lover.However，researchers have discovered that not all humor is equal.The quickest path to success is to use a very specific form of wit：Self-deprecation.
“Many studies show that a sense of humour is attractive to women，especially to their girlfriends，but we’ve found that self-deprecating humour is the most attractive of all，” said anthropologist Gil Greengross.
One possible explanation is that taking_the_mickey_out_of_oneself is a high-risk strategy.
“It is a risky form of humour because it can draw attention to one’s real faults，thereby diminishing(缩小) the self-deprecator’s status in the eyes of others.But based on the idea that self-deprecating humour can be an especially reliable indicator not only of general intelligence and creativity，but also of moral virtues such as humility.”
Anthropologist Kate Fox，author of Watching the English，believes self-deprecation is uniquely vital for those with an English cultural background，“For the English，the rules of humour are the cultural equivalent of natural laws—we obey them automatically，rather in the way that we obey the law of gravity.”
“Pomposity(夸耀) and self-importance are outlawed.Serious matters can be spoken of seriously，but one must never take oneself too seriously，” she added.
“As long as everyone understands the rules，they are duly impressed both by one’s achievements and by one’s reluctance(不愿) to talk about them publicly.”
However，Greengross warns of another danger in the use of self-deprecation.“If you are a low-status individual，using self-deprecating humour can be disastrous to you，” he said.
“Think about the secondary-school child whom nobody liked，who made fun of his shortcoming in sports.His kids laughed at him and he was considered more pathetic(悲惨的) than he was previously.This is high-risk attraction.It is not for everyone.”
68．From the passage，we know that Gil Greengross________.
A．is attractive to women all the way，especially to his girlfriend
B．believes that he himself is really the author of Watching the English
C．thinks that it can be disastrous to a low-status individual when he/she uses self-deprecation
D．loves the secondary-school child whom nobody liked because of his shortcoming in sports
69．The underlined phrase “taking the mickey out of oneself”(in Paragraph 3) may be replaced by________.
A．making someone laugh
B．self-deprecation
C．obeying the law of gravity
D．pomposity and self-importance
70．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The quickest path to success is to make someone laugh.
B．Self-deprecation perhaps lowers its status in the eyes of others.
C．The English obey natural laws without obeying the law of gravity.
D．Nobody likes making fun of one child’s shortcoming in sports.

Rock Climbing as Sport and Art
An estimated nine million people rock climb in the United States.Millions more take part in the activity around the world.__71__ Others compete.Rock climbing can be dangerous.But there are many methods and protective devices that can increase a climber’s safety.
__72__ Climbers have to pull themselves straight up the face of very high rocks or walls.So they have to be strong enough to carry their own weight.And climbers sometimes have to hold on to rocks with only their fingers or toes.
There are several kinds of rock climbing.Traditional rock climbing is done outside.Climbers wear ropes and attach devices to the rocks as they climb many hundreds of meters up.They also connect their ropes to the devices.__73__
Sport climbing is similar.However，in those cases the protective devices are permanently(永久性地) placed in the rock.There is also indoor climbing.Rock walls made of wood or concrete have places for the climber’s hands and feet.
__74__ People climb glaciers(冰川) or frozen waterfalls instead of rocks.They use special equipment for the ice.
And then there is bouldering(巨石攀岩)—climbing rocks between three and seven meters high.__75__ Many climbers like bouldering because they can use less equipment.Climbers often need only special shoes and chalk.All climbers use chalk to keep their hands dry.
A．Ice climbing is exactly as it sounds.
B．Some do it just for personal satisfaction.
C．Some go climbing at weekends or in holidays.
D．It is a quicker and more intense kind of climbing.
E．If a climber slips，a rope can stop him from falling.
F．Climbing takes strength，control and good balance.
G．It is more challenging and dangerous，but also more fun.

参考范文
Hi，Daisy，
I fully understand your situation.Actually，everyone lives under pressure in life，so we must learn to deal with it properly.
Right now，your teachers and parents are strict with you because they expect you to pass the exam and be admitted to a good university.Now you are working hard at your lessons because you want to live up to their expectations.
In my opinion，you’d better not stay up too late at night，which makes you sleepy in class.Missing the key points of your teacher’s lecture will reduce your chance of getting a good score.I advise you to make a careful study plan，which will help you to make full use of your time.More importantly，trust yourself.If you keep on trying，you will make great progress in your studies.
I hope my ideas will work.
