第二部分：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)
A
Here’s an unusual story: A diamond ring was recently found in an egg. The magician，Liu Qian，discovered it，in front of an audience of millions at CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala. Liu’s magic tricks have made the centuries-old art of magic fashionable once again，and made him the hottest magician in China.
As a seasoned young magician from Taiwan，Liu is popular worldwide for his magic shows. Countries he has performed in include the United States，Japan，South Korea and the UK.
Witnessing something impossible happen right before your eyes is the root of people’s love for magic. Liu is known for his interaction with his audiences. He has a unique understanding of showmanship（演出技巧）.
“It’s actually thinking，rather than one’s manipulation skills，that is more important to achieving a successful magic show. We think carefully about how to design the shows creatively，to make them appear more interesting,” Liu said.
Liu Qian’s success dated back to his childhood. Born in 1976 in Taiwan，he found himself attracted to a magic toy in a shop when he was seven years old. At the age of 12，he won Taiwan’s Youth Magic Contest，which was judged by the great American magician，David Copper field.
Yet，Liu never planned on becoming a professional magician. He studied Japanese literature at university and only hoped to be an amateur（业余的）magician in his spare time. However，his failure to find a proper job after graduation pushed him towards magic as a career. To refine his performing skills，he has performed on streets，roads and fields，for passersby，policemen and farmers.
“Street shows are the biggest challenge for us magicians. We have to deal with unexpected situations and tough crowds.” Liu said.
21. The story is about ________.
A. how Liu Qian became China’s hottest magician
B. why people love magic
C. what magic tricks are
D. how fashionable magic is
22. People love to watch magic because _________.
A. they can’t figure out the secret of magic
B. it arouses their curiosity
C. they love watching magicians make the impossible happen
D. it is a centuries-old art
23. Which of the following is the key reason that Liu Qian decided to make magic his career?
A. He was interested in magic when he was little.
B. He had won Taiwan’s Youth Magic Contest.
C. He became an amateur magician in his spare time.
D. He couldn’t find an acceptable job after graduation.
B
It is often said that politeness costs nothing. In fact，it seems that a little more courtesy could save businesses ￡5 billion every year.
Frequently hearing the phrase “thank you” or “well done” means the same to staff as a modest pay rise，researchers say.
Praise and encouragement also makes employees more likely to work hard and stay in their jobs，saving on the cost of finding replacements.
A third of 1,000 workers surveyed by consulting firm White Water Strategies said they did not get thanked at all when they did well and a further third said they were not thanked enough.
In both cases，staff said they felt undervalued，meaning they were less likely to exert themselves and were more likely to look for employment elsewhere.
The net result is around ￡5.2 billion in lost productivity from employees who would raise their game if they felt more appreciated，White Water claimed. According to the company，praising staff has the same motivational kick as a 1 percent pay-rise and works out much cheaper for bosses.
Three out of four employees said that regular acknowledgement by their bosses was important to them，but only a quarter said they were actually given as much praise as they felt they needed.
The survey found that those in blue-collar and manual jobs were less likely to be given any recognition for doing well.
In regional terms，Scottish staff felt most undervalued. Four out of ten workers said they were never thanked and eight out of ten said they would like more praise. However，workers in the North-East are less impressed by being buttered up by the boss，as only 69 percent said they felt the need to be told “well done” regularly.
Older employees and women need the most reassurance，according to psychologist Averil Leimon，a director of White Water Strategies. She said that words of praise did more than create a pleasant place to work—they could even boost profits.
24. The first paragraph means that ________.
A. employees ask for high pay instead of hearing “thank you” or “well done”
B. bosses always think highly of their employees’ work
C. politeness is important to bosses and workers
D. bosses should praise their workers from time to time
25. Why didn’t bosses give their staff enough praise and encouragement?
A. Most bosses feel it unnecessary.
B. Most workers didn’t work hard enough.
C. This was not what the staff want.
D. The passage doesn’t mention it.
26. According to this passage，the majority of staff felt ________.
A. they were thanked enough
B. they were undervalued
C. they got satisfactory pay
D. they didn’t need encouragement
27. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Blue-collar and manual workers need more regular acknowledgement by their bosses.
B. A third of the workers surveyed by White Water Strategies never got thanked at all when they did well.
C. Old employees and women do not need to be appreciated as much as the young.
D. Fewer than 30% of Scottish felt that they never got thanked.
C
What should you think about when trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand，you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job，they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
Your school may have taught you skills，such as typing or technical drawing，which you can use in your work. You may be good at metal work or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer，think what you gained from it. If nothing else，you may have learned how to get to work on time，to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop，for example. Just as important，you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.
Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record，for instance，may not be too good，yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.
28. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The significance of working hard at school.
B. The direct and indirect value of school work.
C. How to face one’s weakness.
D. Choosing a career according to one’s strong points.
29. According to the passage，doing a part-time job as a student _______.
A. can help afford one’s education
B. is a good way to practice the skills learnt in school
C. can help you to prepare for future work
D. is a waste of time that could have been spent on study
30. From the passage we learn that if a student’s school performance is not good，he _______.
A. should pay more attention to learning skills and developing abilities
B. will be regretful about his bad results
C. may also do well in his future work
D. should restart his study in school
31. The underlined phrase “be all thumbs” in Paragraph 3 probably means “______”.
A. be clumsy at doing things
B. be skillful in doing things
C. do not have interest in certain things
D. be easily bored in doing things
D
You can live longer and feel wonderful by following the top 10 secrets to longevity (长寿) revealed by Dr Franklin Williams，former director of the National Institute on Aging and professor Emeritus at the University of Rochester，New York— one of America’s Leading experts.
1. Exercise
Studies show that 30 minutes of mild exercise a day will increase your life span (周期). This doesn’t mean you have to run three miles or start high jumping. Simple activities such as walking，gardening or taking exercise classes will work.
2. Enjoy people
Contact with family and friends help fight depression and stress. Studies show that people who socialize regularly live longer than loners do. Interact daily with family members and friends. If you are isolated，make a point of joining social clubs or church groups so you can laugh and share life’s joys.
3.Stay mentally active
This is very important—use it or lose it! People who allow their mental faculties to decline (减少) run the risk of shortening their lives through falls and other injuries，and not being able to take care of themselves. Read the newspaper，visit the public library，balance your newspaper，and your checkbook without a calculator，and exercise your brain by doing crossword puzzles.
4. Diet
The key words are “high-fiber，low-fat.” Cut back on red meat，salt，white flour，white sugar，alcohol and coffee. Start eating a balanced diet including lots of fruit，grains，raw vegetables and nuts.
5. Immunization
Pneumonia and flu are among the leading causes of death among older people. Get vaccinated to protect yourself against these potential killers.
6. Positive attitude
By approaching life with an upbeat，active outlook you increase your chances of living longer. Stay optimistic—always search for the silver lining. Studies show people who see life as enjoyable challenge，rather than a constant trial，cope better and prolong (延长) their life spans.
7. Medication mix
As we age，we are more likely to take medicine，which can be disabling and even deadly. Ask your doctor if the drugs you take are really necessary. Make sure there is no danger of a bad drug interaction from your medications. Used correctly，medicines can help you live longer and more comfortably.
8. Volunteer
Helping others increases your self-esteem and makes you feel like a valuable contributor. Join a house of worship，visit an old folk’s home，and ask your Chamber of Commerce for information on agencies that need volunteer help.
9. Practice safety
Always wear your car seat belt. And remember，falls kill—and are especially dangerous for the elderly. Do a safety inspection of your home and put away anything you could trip over.
10. Regular checkups
Get annual screenings for cancer，high blood pressure and other illness.
32. Which would be the best title for this text?
Secrets to a longer life.
Longevity.
How to live a long life.
Top 10 secrets.
33. If you were a lonely person，the most important secret for him should _____.
take exercise classes for 30 minutes
join in social clubs to socialize regularly
stay mentally active and exercise your brain
eat a balanced diet
34. If you want to be healthy，you must eat less ______.
red meat，alcohol，fruit
white sugar，salt，coffee
alcohol，white flour，nuts
coffee，grain，nuts
35. For older people，what are the two leading causes of death?
a. pneumonia b. flu
c. cancer d. over-medication
A. a & b B. b & c
C. a & c D. c & d

Bees add an estimated?18 billion dollars a year to the value of American crops. 36 But，in recent years，honeybee colonies in the United States and Europe have been shrinking. Scientists have proposed different theories to explain what is known as colony collapse disorder.
New research suggests that a commonly used insect killer could cause bees to have a hard time finding their way back to their hive.
The new research looks at the use of insect killers. 37 They are now put on the seeds of many major crops around the world. The seedlings absorb the chemical as they grow.
38 Instead there is a little bit of insect killer inside each plant—including the pollen and nectar that the bees want.
39 But the new research in the journal Science says it may harm them anyway.
40 These chips recorded the bees’ movements as they came and went from their hive. The scientists fed some bees sugar water with a low dose of a neonicotinoid. The study found that these bees were about twice as likely not to return as other bees.
A. They were first used in the 1990s.
B. Researchers stuck microchips to the backs of the bees.
C. They pollinate flowers that become fruits，nuts and vegetables.
D. People like pollen and nectar that the bees want.
E. That means farmers do not need to spray a whole field.
F. Scientists are now studying the bees.
G. There is not enough pesticide to kill them.

第三部分：英语知识运用
第一节 完形填空
41．C??作者与所有的士兵一起当然经过选择(choose)并接受(receive)了智力测试，且已得了160，而没有不及格(fail)。?
42．?A??作者谈论自己的“高智商”时毫无疑问应该以平均(average)分为参照点。智力题总分不会为100分，所以B错误；如果试题总分为100分，他不可能得160分，故C项错误；D项与句意不符。作者超过平均分而得了160分。
43．B? 从文章的主题和下文内容中作者对汽车修理工的认识可以推断，汽车修理工并非一定(certainly)，总是(always)，经常(frequently)，而是很可能(possibly)不超过80分，这是作者的一种看不起汽车修理工的推测。
44．D? ?由前后句子的意义看，前后两句明显为转折关系，故选yet。then“那么”，表示推理意义；thus“因而，从而”，表示顺承关系；therefore“因此，所以”，表示因果关系。
45．?A? 当汽车出了故障，作者就赶快去找他，而他总是能检查(check)出问题再修理(fix)好汽车。
46．?C? 由下文内容可以看出，在假设中，汽车修理工不是被动地回答(answer)，操练(practice)，试用(try)考试，而是为考试设计(design)出题。
47．?D?? 作者自认为做汽车修理工出的题，只会证明自己是一个白痴(fool)，而绝非别的什么(teacher，doctor，winner)。
48．?C?? 作者自认为智力超群，但同时也承认在汽车修理的领域他能力较低。作者认为汽车修理工的领域需要的主要就是手的操作能力，而非智力、脑力(brains)，也用不着花费注意力(attention)或是努力(effort)。
49．?A 由下文内容看，该段的话题又回到汽车修理工，而重新谈起某件事情或某个人可以用副词again。as usual“照常，像往常一样”；too ，as well“也”，表示并列关系。
50．?B?? 动词tell和lies，jokes，flews，tales均可搭配。但下文中的事例说明，汽车修理工喜欢讲的是笑话(jokes)。
51．?D? ?由下文内容可知，空缺处所在的句子为该聋哑人进商店的原因，而needed是四个选项中惟一能帮助构成原因的动词。
52．?B?? 来买东西的人是聋哑人，他要买钉子，怎么向售货员表示?他做了一个锤击的动作。店员为他拿来了锤子(hammer)，而且下面的句子中“and pointed to the two fingers he was hammering”也给出了提示。
53．?C? 买东西的人想买钉子，就做了一个锤击的动作，售货员误解了他的意思，拿来了一把锤子。店员拿来的并不是他想要的东西，拒绝某物时应该是摇(shake)头，而非点头(nod)，抬头(raise)和回头(turn)。
54．?A? 店员拿来(bring)了一些大小不一的钉子给他。
55．?D? 文中仅仅是谈到第二个人(next)是一个盲人。从此处开始，汽车修理工又讲一个盲人买剪刀的故事，想以此来作类比，这实际上是他把第一个故事作为一个圈套罢了。
56．?B? ?句中所需要的是盲人索物的方式(how)，所索之物剪刀(what)在前句已出现。
57．?C 该处是这个笑话的要点所在，盲人能够说话，买东西时自然会用其声音(voice)，而非想象(imagination)，手(hand)和信息(information)来提出要求。
58．?A? ?汽车修理工一直在用这个问题捉弄着(try)所有的顾客。同时，try sth on sb是固定词组，意为“捉弄”。prove“证实，检验”；practise“练习，实践”；examine“检查，调查”。
59．A? 下文中汽车修理工的语气充分说明，他早就确信(for sure)会让作者上当。for sure“有把握地，确实”；at once“马上，立刻”；in fact“实际上，事实上”；right now“立刻”。
60． D? ?根据上文“Because you are so goddamned educated，Doc ”可知，在汽车修理工看来，既然作者读了很多书，反倒受了很多束缚，其思维自然会不够敏捷(smart)。他料定作者一定会在智力测试中失败。clear“清晰的，有条理的”；silly“愚蠢”；slow“迟钝的，缓慢的”；smart“敏捷的，巧妙的”。

One possible version：
Nowadays，with the development of the Internet，there came a kind of language called Web Language. Focused on this matter，an argument took place in our class lately. It turns out that we students hold two different attitudes towards Web Language.
40 percent of us think Web Language to be ridiculous，as it sometimes can’t be understood. Besides，it goes against the grammar of Chinese and makes no sense in helping people learn English.
? The rest of us think that Web Language is humorous and interesting，which can help vary our language. What’s more，we can express ourselves better with it.
In my opinion，we may accept Web Language，for it does good to helping improve our English more or less. It can also promote our language to develop，so that our language will become nearer to perfection. So let’s try to use Web Language in a right way.

第二部分：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)
A
Here’s an unusual story: A diamond ring was recently found in an egg. The magician，Liu Qian，discovered it，in front of an audience of millions at CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala. Liu’s magic tricks have made the centuries-old art of magic fashionable once again，and made him the hottest magician in China.
As a seasoned young magician from Taiwan，Liu is popular worldwide for his magic shows. Countries he has performed in include the United States，Japan，South Korea and the UK.
Witnessing something impossible happen right before your eyes is the root of people’s love for magic. Liu is known for his interaction with his audiences. He has a unique understanding of showmanship（演出技巧）.
“It’s actually thinking，rather than one’s manipulation skills，that is more important to achieving a successful magic show. We think carefully about how to design the shows creatively，to make them appear more interesting,” Liu said.
Liu Qian’s success dated back to his childhood. Born in 1976 in Taiwan，he found himself attracted to a magic toy in a shop when he was seven years old. At the age of 12，he won Taiwan’s Youth Magic Contest，which was judged by the great American magician，David Copper field.
Yet，Liu never planned on becoming a professional magician. He studied Japanese literature at university and only hoped to be an amateur（业余的）magician in his spare time. However，his failure to find a proper job after graduation pushed him towards magic as a career. To refine his performing skills，he has performed on streets，roads and fields，for passersby，policemen and farmers.
“Street shows are the biggest challenge for us magicians. We have to deal with unexpected situations and tough crowds.” Liu said.
21. The story is about ________.
A. how Liu Qian became China’s hottest magician
B. why people love magic
C. what magic tricks are
D. how fashionable magic is
22. People love to watch magic because _________.
A. they can’t figure out the secret of magic
B. it arouses their curiosity
C. they love watching magicians make the impossible happen
D. it is a centuries-old art
23. Which of the following is the key reason that Liu Qian decided to make magic his career?
A. He was interested in magic when he was little.
B. He had won Taiwan’s Youth Magic Contest.
C. He became an amateur magician in his spare time.
D. He couldn’t find an acceptable job after graduation.
B
It is often said that politeness costs nothing. In fact，it seems that a little more courtesy could save businesses ￡5 billion every year.
Frequently hearing the phrase “thank you” or “well done” means the same to staff as a modest pay rise，researchers say.
Praise and encouragement also makes employees more likely to work hard and stay in their jobs，saving on the cost of finding replacements.
A third of 1,000 workers surveyed by consulting firm White Water Strategies said they did not get thanked at all when they did well and a further third said they were not thanked enough.
In both cases，staff said they felt undervalued，meaning they were less likely to exert themselves and were more likely to look for employment elsewhere.
The net result is around ￡5.2 billion in lost productivity from employees who would raise their game if they felt more appreciated，White Water claimed. According to the company，praising staff has the same motivational kick as a 1 percent pay-rise and works out much cheaper for bosses.
Three out of four employees said that regular acknowledgement by their bosses was important to them，but only a quarter said they were actually given as much praise as they felt they needed.
The survey found that those in blue-collar and manual jobs were less likely to be given any recognition for doing well.
In regional terms，Scottish staff felt most undervalued. Four out of ten workers said they were never thanked and eight out of ten said they would like more praise. However，workers in the North-East are less impressed by being buttered up by the boss，as only 69 percent said they felt the need to be told “well done” regularly.
Older employees and women need the most reassurance，according to psychologist Averil Leimon，a director of White Water Strategies. She said that words of praise did more than create a pleasant place to work—they could even boost profits.
24. The first paragraph means that ________.
A. employees ask for high pay instead of hearing “thank you” or “well done”
B. bosses always think highly of their employees’ work
C. politeness is important to bosses and workers
D. bosses should praise their workers from time to time
25. Why didn’t bosses give their staff enough praise and encouragement?
A. Most bosses feel it unnecessary.
B. Most workers didn’t work hard enough.
C. This was not what the staff want.
D. The passage doesn’t mention it.
26. According to this passage，the majority of staff felt ________.
A. they were thanked enough
B. they were undervalued
C. they got satisfactory pay
D. they didn’t need encouragement
27. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Blue-collar and manual workers need more regular acknowledgement by their bosses.
B. A third of the workers surveyed by White Water Strategies never got thanked at all when they did well.
C. Old employees and women do not need to be appreciated as much as the young.
D. Fewer than 30% of Scottish felt that they never got thanked.
C
What should you think about when trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand，you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job，they may have indirect value. A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
Your school may have taught you skills，such as typing or technical drawing，which you can use in your work. You may be good at metal work or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills. If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer，think what you gained from it. If nothing else，you may have learned how to get to work on time，to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop，for example. Just as important，you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.
Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record，for instance，may not be too good，yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.
28. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The significance of working hard at school.
B. The direct and indirect value of school work.
C. How to face one’s weakness.
D. Choosing a career according to one’s strong points.
29. According to the passage，doing a part-time job as a student _______.
A. can help afford one’s education
B. is a good way to practice the skills learnt in school
C. can help you to prepare for future work
D. is a waste of time that could have been spent on study
30. From the passage we learn that if a student’s school performance is not good，he _______.
A. should pay more attention to learning skills and developing abilities
B. will be regretful about his bad results
C. may also do well in his future work
D. should restart his study in school
31. The underlined phrase “be all thumbs” in Paragraph 3 probably means “______”.
A. be clumsy at doing things
B. be skillful in doing things
C. do not have interest in certain things
D. be easily bored in doing things
D
You can live longer and feel wonderful by following the top 10 secrets to longevity (长寿) revealed by Dr Franklin Williams，former director of the National Institute on Aging and professor Emeritus at the University of Rochester，New York— one of America’s Leading experts.
1. Exercise
Studies show that 30 minutes of mild exercise a day will increase your life span (周期). This doesn’t mean you have to run three miles or start high jumping. Simple activities such as walking，gardening or taking exercise classes will work.
2. Enjoy people
Contact with family and friends help fight depression and stress. Studies show that people who socialize regularly live longer than loners do. Interact daily with family members and friends. If you are isolated，make a point of joining social clubs or church groups so you can laugh and share life’s joys.
3.Stay mentally active
This is very important—use it or lose it! People who allow their mental faculties to decline (减少) run the risk of shortening their lives through falls and other injuries，and not being able to take care of themselves. Read the newspaper，visit the public library，balance your newspaper，and your checkbook without a calculator，and exercise your brain by doing crossword puzzles.
4. Diet
The key words are “high-fiber，low-fat.” Cut back on red meat，salt，white flour，white sugar，alcohol and coffee. Start eating a balanced diet including lots of fruit，grains，raw vegetables and nuts.
5. Immunization
Pneumonia and flu are among the leading causes of death among older people. Get vaccinated to protect yourself against these potential killers.
6. Positive attitude
By approaching life with an upbeat，active outlook you increase your chances of living longer. Stay optimistic—always search for the silver lining. Studies show people who see life as enjoyable challenge，rather than a constant trial，cope better and prolong (延长) their life spans.
7. Medication mix
As we age，we are more likely to take medicine，which can be disabling and even deadly. Ask your doctor if the drugs you take are really necessary. Make sure there is no danger of a bad drug interaction from your medications. Used correctly，medicines can help you live longer and more comfortably.
8. Volunteer
Helping others increases your self-esteem and makes you feel like a valuable contributor. Join a house of worship，visit an old folk’s home，and ask your Chamber of Commerce for information on agencies that need volunteer help.
9. Practice safety
Always wear your car seat belt. And remember，falls kill—and are especially dangerous for the elderly. Do a safety inspection of your home and put away anything you could trip over.
10. Regular checkups
Get annual screenings for cancer，high blood pressure and other illness.
32. Which would be the best title for this text?
Secrets to a longer life.
Longevity.
How to live a long life.
Top 10 secrets.
33. If you were a lonely person，the most important secret for him should _____.
take exercise classes for 30 minutes
join in social clubs to socialize regularly
stay mentally active and exercise your brain
eat a balanced diet
34. If you want to be healthy，you must eat less ______.
red meat，alcohol，fruit
white sugar，salt，coffee
alcohol，white flour，nuts
coffee，grain，nuts

A. a & b B. b & c
C. a & c D. c & d

Bees add an estimated?18 billion dollars a year to the value of American crops. 36 But，in recent years，honeybee colonies in the United States and Europe have been shrinking. Scientists have proposed different theories to explain what is known as colony collapse disorder.
New research suggests that a commonly used insect killer could cause bees to have a hard time finding their way back to their hive.
The new research looks at the use of insect killers. 37 They are now put on the seeds of many major crops around the world. The seedlings absorb the chemical as they grow.
38 Instead there is a little bit of insect killer inside each plant—including the pollen and nectar that the bees want.
39 But the new research in the journal Science says it may harm them anyway.
40 These chips recorded the bees’ movements as they came and went from their hive. The scientists fed some bees sugar water with a low dose of a neonicotinoid. The study found that these bees were about twice as likely not to return as other bees.
A. They were first used in the 1990s.
B. Researchers stuck microchips to the backs of the bees.
C. They pollinate flowers that become fruits，nuts and vegetables.
D. People like pollen and nectar that the bees want.
E. That means farmers do not need to spray a whole field.
F. Scientists are now studying the bees.
G. There is not enough pesticide to kill them.

第一节 完形填空
41．C??作者与所有的士兵一起当然经过选择(choose)并接受(receive)了智力测试，且已得了160，而没有不及格(fail)。?
42．?A??作者谈论自己的“高智商”时毫无疑问应该以平均(average)分为参照点。智力题总分不会为100分，所以B错误；如果试题总分为100分，他不可能得160分，故C项错误；D项与句意不符。作者超过平均分而得了160分。
43．B? 从文章的主题和下文内容中作者对汽车修理工的认识可以推断，汽车修理工并非一定(certainly)，总是(always)，经常(frequently)，而是很可能(possibly)不超过80分，这是作者的一种看不起汽车修理工的推测。
44．D? ?由前后句子的意义看，前后两句明显为转折关系，故选yet。then“那么”，表示推理意义；thus“因而，从而”，表示顺承关系；therefore“因此，所以”，表示因果关系。
45．?A? 当汽车出了故障，作者就赶快去找他，而他总是能检查(check)出问题再修理(fix)好汽车。
46．?C? 由下文内容可以看出，在假设中，汽车修理工不是被动地回答(answer)，操练(practice)，试用(try)考试，而是为考试设计(design)出题。
47．?D?? 作者自认为做汽车修理工出的题，只会证明自己是一个白痴(fool)，而绝非别的什么(teacher，doctor，winner)。
48．?C?? 作者自认为智力超群，但同时也承认在汽车修理的领域他能力较低。作者认为汽车修理工的领域需要的主要就是手的操作能力，而非智力、脑力(brains)，也用不着花费注意力(attention)或是努力(effort)。
49．?A 由下文内容看，该段的话题又回到汽车修理工，而重新谈起某件事情或某个人可以用副词again。as usual“照常，像往常一样”；too ，as well“也”，表示并列关系。
50．?B?? 动词tell和lies，jokes，flews，tales均可搭配。但下文中的事例说明，汽车修理工喜欢讲的是笑话(jokes)。
51．?D? ?由下文内容可知，空缺处所在的句子为该聋哑人进商店的原因，而needed是四个选项中惟一能帮助构成原因的动词。
52．?B?? 来买东西的人是聋哑人，他要买钉子，怎么向售货员表示?他做了一个锤击的动作。店员为他拿来了锤子(hammer)，而且下面的句子中“and pointed to the two fingers he was hammering”也给出了提示。
53．?C? 买东西的人想买钉子，就做了一个锤击的动作，售货员误解了他的意思，拿来了一把锤子。店员拿来的并不是他想要的东西，拒绝某物时应该是摇(shake)头，而非点头(nod)，抬头(raise)和回头(turn)。
54．?A? 店员拿来(bring)了一些大小不一的钉子给他。
55．?D? 文中仅仅是谈到第二个人(next)是一个盲人。从此处开始，汽车修理工又讲一个盲人买剪刀的故事，想以此来作类比，这实际上是他把第一个故事作为一个圈套罢了。
56．?B? ?句中所需要的是盲人索物的方式(how)，所索之物剪刀(what)在前句已出现。
57．?C 该处是这个笑话的要点所在，盲人能够说话，买东西时自然会用其声音(voice)，而非想象(imagination)，手(hand)和信息(information)来提出要求。
58．?A? ?汽车修理工一直在用这个问题捉弄着(try)所有的顾客。同时，try sth on sb是固定词组，意为“捉弄”。prove“证实，检验”；practise“练习，实践”；examine“检查，调查”。
59．A? 下文中汽车修理工的语气充分说明，他早就确信(for sure)会让作者上当。for sure“有把握地，确实”；at once“马上，立刻”；in fact“实际上，事实上”；right now“立刻”。
60． D? ?根据上文“Because you are so goddamned educated，Doc ”可知，在汽车修理工看来，既然作者读了很多书，反倒受了很多束缚，其思维自然会不够敏捷(smart)。他料定作者一定会在智力测试中失败。clear“清晰的，有条理的”；silly“愚蠢”；slow“迟钝的，缓慢的”；smart“敏捷的，巧妙的”。

书面表达
One possible version：
Nowadays，with the development of the Internet，there came a kind of language called Web Language. Focused on this matter，an argument took place in our class lately. It turns out that we students hold two different attitudes towards Web Language.
40 percent of us think Web Language to be ridiculous，as it sometimes can’t be understood. Besides，it goes against the grammar of Chinese and makes no sense in helping people learn English.
? The rest of us think that Web Language is humorous and interesting，which can help vary our language. What’s more，we can express ourselves better with it.
In my opinion，we may accept Web Language，for it does good to helping improve our English more or less. It can also promote our language to develop，so that our language will become nearer to perfection. So let’s try to use Web Language in a right way.
