Argentina in the late nineteenth century was an exciting place.Around 1870，it was experiencing an economic(经济的)boom，and the capital，Buenos Aires，attracted many people.Farmers，as well as a flood of foreigners from Spain and Italy，came to Buenos Aires seeking jobs.These jobs didn’t pay well，and the people felt lonely and disappointed with their new life in the city.As the unhappy newcomers mixed together in the poor parts of the city，the dance known as the tango(探戈舞)came into being.
At the beginning the tango was a dance of the lower classes.It was danced in the bars and streets.At that time there were many fewer women than men，so if a man didn’t want to be left out，his only choice was to dance with another man so that he could attract the attention of the few available women.Gradually，the dance spread into the upper classes of Argentinean society and became more respectable.
In Europe at this time，strong interest in dance from around the world was beginning.This interest in international dance was especially evident in Paris.Every kind of dance from ballet(芭蕾舞) to belly dancing could be found on the stages of the Paris theaters.After tango dancers from Argentina arrived in Europe，they began to draw the interest of the public as they performed their exciting dance in cafes.Though not everyone approved of the new dance，saying it was a little too shocking，the dance did find enough supporters to make it popular.
The popularity(流行) of the tango continued to grow in many other parts of the world.Soldiers who returned to the United States from World WarⅠ brought the tango to North America.It reached Japan in 1926，and in 2003 the Argentinean embassy in Seoul hired a local tango dancer to act as a kind of dance ambassador，and promote tango dancing throughout South Korea.
1．The origin of the tango is associated with________.
A．belly dancers
B．American soldiers
C．a Spanish city
D．the capital of Argentina
2．Which of the following is true about the tango?
A．It was created by foreigners from Spain and Italy.
B．People of the upper classes loved the tango most.
C．It was often danced by two males in the beginning.
D．A dancer in Seoul became the Argentinean ambassador.
3．Before World WarⅠ，the tango spread to________.
A．America B．Japan
C．France D．South Korea
4．What can be the best title for the text?
A．How to Dance the Tango
B．The History of the Tango
C．How to Promote the Tango
D．The Modern Tango Boom

While IQ (Intelligence Quotient)tells you how smart you are.EQ (Emotional Quotient)tells you how well you use your smartness.Professor Salovery，the psychologist who created the term，EQ，says that it is IQ that gets you hired but it is EQ that gets you promoted.
Supported by his research，he suggested that when predicting future successes，a person’s brainpower，as measured by IQ tests，might actually matter less than a person’s character，or EQ.Professor Salovery may be correct.For example，have you ever wondered why some of the best and smartest students in your class end up failing exams？Perhaps it is because of their EQ.People often make the mistake of thinking that EQ is the opposite of IQ.It is not.Although it is hoped that people have both high EQs and IQs，there is little doubt that those with low EQs have a hard time surviving in life.
For a long time，researchers discussed if a person’s IQ could be raised.The geneticists said no，while the social scientists said yes.Furthermore，the social scientists said that it was possible to improve a person’s EQ，particularly in terms of “people skills”，such as understanding and communication.
Recently，a professor released the findings of a study on senior high school students.When some normal students were introduced to some disabled students，they found that afterwards they were more willing to help people in difficulties.At the same time，there was a marked change in the disabled students’ attitudes.They became more positive about their disabilities and were more eager to try new things.People with high EQs often have positive attitudes towards life and are open to different ideas，so they tend to be more creative in their thinking.Please remember that having a high IQ is helpful but having a high EQ might even be more helpful.
5．According to Professor Salovery，what factor matters the most in predicting whether a person will be successful or not?
A．How a person tests his/her brainpower.
B．A person’s character.
C．How smart a person is.
D．A person’s IQ.
6．The second paragraph tells us that ________.
A．people who have a high IQ always have a high EQ
B．EQ is the opposite of IQ
C．people who have a low EQ tend to have a hard life
D．people who have a high EQ always have a high IQ
7．What did the professor find from his study of normal students being introduced to some disabled children?
A．Students with disabilities were not open in trying new things.
B．There was no change in the normal students.
C．The disabled students became more positive and more eager to try new things.
D．The disabled students were more willing to help others.
8．Which of the following is the writer’s attitude toward EQ and IQ?
A．IQ is more helpful to people than EQ.
B．IQ can be raised by understanding and communication.
C．EQ can get people hired.
D．A high EQ is of great benefit in getting people promoted.

Parents and doctors have the same worry over especially low birthweight newborns.__1__ A trend has therefore developed to make special formulas(配方) of extra nutrients and protein-rich foods for these tiny babies.Unfortunately，a British study has found that this practice could have negative long-term effects，such as high blood pressure in adulthood.
Between 1993 and 1995，Atul Singhal of the Institute of Child Health and his colleagues researched 299 full-term newborns，each of whom weighed very little for their age.The babies’ moms had decided not to breastfeed(用母乳喂养)．
__2__ The rest received a formula with more nutrients and 28 percent more protein than the standard formula.The growth of all of these children was compared to that of 175 similarly low birthweight babies whose mothers had chosen to breastfeed their children for their first 9 months.__3__ They found 83 babies from the normal-formula group,70 babies from the extra-formula group，and 95 babies from the breastfeed group.
__4__ According to the latest data，children who had received the extra formula had significantly higher blood pressure than those in the other two groups.
Seven human tests have indeed shown that when infants are overfed before being stopped breastfeeding，they have an increased possibility to become fat as youngsters.
No matter how big a child is at birth，he or she will probably reach the same adult height no matter how quickly the baby grows.But reaching one’s adult size at a slow-to-moderate speed may have a lot of benefits，as Singhal says.__5__
A．Half of these children were given a normal infant(幼儿) formula for 9 months.
B．When they grow up，they might have high blood pressure.
C．These babies have very little energy because they are so small.
D．Six to eight years later，the researchers gave the children a series of measurements and tests.
E．The results were quite surprising.
F．Tiny babies will grow much slower if they are not specially fed.
G．His advice to parents：Be patient.Don’t rush a child’s growth.

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
Are the British people Europeans？This may seem a strange question to Africans and Asians，who tend to think of all white men as Europeans.But the British，when they are in Britain，do not regard themselves as Europeans.The Europeans，to them，are those rather excitable foreigners from the other side of the English Channel，who have never learnt how to speak English.Europe is “the Continent”：a place full of interest for British tourists，but also the source of almost all the wars in which Britain has ever been involved.Thus，although geographically speaking Britain is a part of Europe，yet the fact that it is a separate island has made its people feel very，very insular.They feel，and in many ways are，different from the rest of Europe and they sometimes annoy continental nations by failing to support them，or even to understand them，in time of need.
Where did the British people come from？This is an extraordinary interesting question，since they are a mixture of many different races，and all these races invaded Britain at various times from Europe.Nobody knows very much about Britain before the Romans came during the first century B．C.，but there had been at least three invasions before that.The first of these was by a dark-haired Mediterranean race called the Iberians.The other two were by Celtic tribes：first the Gaels，whose descendants are the modern Scots and Irish，some of whom still speak the Gaelic language；and second the Britons，who gave their name to the whole island of Britain.These were the people whom the Romans conquered.The Romans gave the Britons a good deal of their civilisation，but they never settled in Britain in very large numbers，so the British race survived until the overthrow of the Roman Empire by the “barbarians”，i.e.the numerous Germanic tribes which overran the whole of Western Europe.
56．The purpose of the passage is to________.
A．talk about Europeans
B．discuss the origin of British people
C．argue for the superiority of British people
D．compare the Europeans with Africans and Asians
57．It can be known from the passage that________.
A．most people think white people are Europeans
B．there are many Africans and Asians living in Europe
C．white men are Europeans in the eyes of Africans and Asians
D．the British people think of themselves as Europeans
58.It can be inferred from the passage that________.
A．Europeans are those who are unable to speak English
B．those who invaded Britain came from the other side of the English Channel
C．Britain is a place full of interest for those excitable foreigners
D．Britain is the source of almost all the wars in Europe
59．Why do the British people feel very insular?
A．They are different from those people in the continent.
B．They sometimes fail to support the continental countries in time of need.
C．They are separated geographically from the continent.
D．They are considered very difficult to understand.
B
Years ago，I lived in a building in a large city.The next building was only a few feet away from mine.There was a woman who lived there，and I had never met her，yet I could see she sat by her window each afternoon，sewing or reading.
After several months had gone by，I began to notice that her window was dirty.Everything was unclear through the dirty window.I would say to myself.“I wonder why that woman doesn’t wash her window.It really looks terrible.”
One bright morning I decided to clean my flat，including washing the window on the inside.
Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning，I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest.What a surprise！Across the way，the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible(看见)．Her window was clean!
Then it dawned on me.I had been criticizing(批评) her dirty window，but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.
That was quite an important lesson for me.How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart，through my own shortcomings?
Since then，whenever I wanted to judge(评判) someone，I asked myself first，“Am I looking at him through my own dirty window？” I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly.
60．The writer couldn’t see everything clearly through the window because ________.
A．the woman’s window was dirty
B．the writer’s window was dirty
C．the woman lived nearby
D．the writer was near-sighted
61．“It dawned on me” probably means “________”．
A．I began to understand it
B．It cheered me up
C．I knew it grew light
D．It began to get dark
62．It’s clear that ________.
A．the writer had never met the woman before
B．the writer often washed the window
C．they both worked as cleaners
D．they lived in a small town
63．From the passage，we can learn ________.
A．one shouldn’t criticize others very often
B．one should often make his windows clean
C．one must judge himself before he judges others
D．one must look at others through his dirty windows
C
Did you know that vegetables can grow in the climates they are not used to？Cool climate vegetables like asparagus(芦笋) are now able to be grown in places as hot as Hawaii.In Hawaii，marine(海的) engineers have been able to actually let you believe such vegetables are living in hotter climates.In that way they grow faster and taste better.What these engineers have been using is simply cold sea water.How did they use it？They place pipes in the soil and cold water flowing through them cools the earth.This causes plant growth and enables gardeners in tropical climates to grow crops from cooler climates.Also some of these pipes are exposed to the air and they make the air “wet” and thus water the gardens.What especially makes people happy about this process is that nothing bad to the natural conditions is being used.Another new use of cold ocean water is to cool buildings.Engineers believe that the entire west coast of the United States could be air-conditioned using sea water.
64．What does the new system enable the gardeners to do?
A．Water the field with sea water.
B．Grow asparagus in hot places.
C．Grow cool climate vegetables in hot areas.
D．Cool the soil.
65．Sea water mentioned in the passage is mainly used to ________.
A．water the farms B．water the gardens
C．cool the air D．make the earth cool
66．What is the report mainly about?
A．How to grow vegetables in hot areas.
B．How to grow crops in tropical climates.
C．How to cool the soil.
D．How to use sea water.
67．It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A．sea water can act as an air-conditioner
B．asparagus are only grown in hot places
C．the writer wants to tell us something about scientific advance
D．sea water has many advantages
D
The time of year a baby is born can shape what profession they will embark_on in later life，a new study has suggested.Being born in a certain month appears to indicate the statistical likelihood of what job a person will end up with，the study by the Office for National Statistics found.
Researchers have uncovered that the month in which babies are born could also affect everything from intelligence to length of life.A child born in December is more likely to become a dentist while someone whose birthday falls in January will tend to a debt collector，they found.
A February birth appears to increase the chances of being an artist while March babies appear to go on to become pilots.Meanwhile，April and May are said to have a fairly even spread of professions，births in the summer months mean a much lower chance of becoming a high-earning football player，doctor or dentist.The study was derived by researchers who analyzed the birth months of people in 19 separate occupations using information from the last census，the Daily Mail reported.Although these trends may be difficult to explain，correlations between birth months and specific health problems have a scientific basis.
Spring babies are at greater risk of illnesses including schizophrenia，Alzheimer’s disease，asthma and autism.They may also be less clever than classmates born in other parts of the year.
68．What does the underlined phrase “embark on” refer to?
A．land on B．keep in touch with
C．be occupied in D．resign from
69．According to the researchers，a child born in March is likely to become ________.
A．a debt collector B．a pilot
C．a dentist D．an artist
70．According to the passage，the following statements are TRUE EXCEPT ________.
A．March babies are more likely to be pilots when grown up.
B．If born in December，a person is more likely to become a dentist.
C．As in the research，health problems have something to do with birth months.
D．Summer babies may be less clever than those born in other seasons.

Have you ever seen any students whose trousers hang so low that you can see their underwear？What do you think of that？Fashionable？Some of today’s teenagers are big fans of such a look.__71__
The headmaster of a school in central Italy has asked students to stop wearing low-rise jeans that expose underwear and parts of the body.His request came after a class trip，when he saw one boy’s baggy trousers slide to his feet.__72__
But in Italy，a nation that takes fashion very seriously，the suggestion caused a debate among parents，teachers and students.The issue is whether the headmaster’s request will limit students’ freedom—or whether dress in Italian schools is too casual.
__73__“We do not want to kick fashion out，” the headmaster explained，“but extremes (极端) of fashion like this are not right in school.” Many other schools have now requested that their students also stop wearing such trousers.
__74__Ludovica Gaudio,14，wore extremely low trousers exposing orange underwear in class.It was cold，so she wore a matching orange scarf.__75__“I don’t really feel comfortable in those sort of jeans，” said Sarah Lattanzi，“in winter，when dressed like that，it’s quite cold and I am afraid my stomach will ache.”
A．But recently this trend has been at the center of an argument in Italian middle schools.
B．A parents’ group praised the move in favor of good taste，while others advised schools to stop worrying about fashion and fix up old school buildings.
C．He pointed out that this way of dressing is not suitable for school.
D．Most students have simply ignored the request.
E．Another 14-year-old said she would probably respect the request，simply for practical reasons.
F．Let us see that Italian students react differently to schools’ requests.
G．Schools should pay attention to things more important than students’ clothes.
