As a boy, Sanders was much influenced(影响) by books about the sea, but by the age of fifteen he had decided to become a doctor rather than a sailor. His father was a doctor. So he was often with the doctors and got along very well with them. When he was fourteen, he was already hanging around the hospital where he was supposed to be helping to clean the medicine bottles, but was actually trying to listen to the doctors' conversations with patients in the next room.
During the war Sanders served in the army as a surgeon(外科医生). “That was the happiest time of my life. I was dealing with real sufferers and on the whole making a success of my job.” In Rhodes he taught the country people simple facts about medicine. He saw himself as a life-saver. He had proved his skill to himself and had a firm belief that he could serve those who lived simply, and were dependent upon him. Thus, while in a position to tell them what to do he could feel he was serving them.
After the war, he married and set up a practice deep in the English countryside, working under an old doctor who hated the sight of blood. This gave the younger man plenty of opportunity(机会) to go on working as a life-saver.

The very wealthy English Baron Fitzgerald had only one child, a son, who understandably was the apple of his eye. His wife died when the child was in his early teens. So Fitzgerald devoted himself to fathering the kid. Unfortunately the son died in his late teens.
Meanwhile, Fitzgerald's wealth greatly increased. He spent a lot on art works of the masters. Later Fitzgerald himself became seriously ill. Before his death, he had carefully prepared his will as to how his wealth would be settled-to sell his entire collection at an auction(拍卖）.
Because of the large quantity and high quality of his collection, a huge crowd of possible buyers gathered for the auction. Many of them were museum directors and private collectors eager to bid（出价）. Before the auction, the art works were shown, among which was a painting of Fitzgerald's son by an unknown artist. Because of its poor quality, it received little attention.
When it was time for the auction, the auctioneer gaveled（敲槌）the crowd to attention. First the lawyer read from Fitzgerald's will that the first art work to be auctioned was the painting of his son.
The poor-quality painting didn't receive any bidders. . . except one-the old servant who had served the son and loved him, and who for emotional reasons offered the only bid.
As soon as the servant bought the painting for less than one English pound, the auctioneer stopped the bidding and asked the lawyer to read again from the will. The crowd became quiet, and the lawyer read from the will: “Whoever buys the painting of my son gets all my collection. ”Then the auction was over.
41. The English Baron Fitzgerald was __________.
A. a museum director B. a master of art C. an art collector D. an art dealer
42. Why did the old servant bid for the painting of Fitzgerald's son?

C. He knew the content of the will. D. He found it cheap for him to buy.

2004 was a good year for American farmers. Total farm earnings were estimated (估计) at 74,000 million dollars for the year. That means the average(平均的) farm income was about 71,000 dollars, or a gain of about three percent from the year before.
However, the growth in earnings depended on the size of the farm. Large farms had increased earnings of six and one-half percent. Smaller farms saw growth in earnings of less than three percent.
Part of American farm income came from the federal (联邦的) government. The Department of Agriculture reports that about thirty-nine percent of farmers accepted some kind of aid(援助), or subsidy in 2003. Reports say the total amount of farm aid paid last year is estimated at 15,700 million dollars.
An organization called the Environmental Working Group keeps information on all farm subsidies paid by the government. The group examined subsidies between 1995 and 2003.
It says ten percent of farms received seventy-two percent of government subsidies during that nine-year period. The group says big farms that are organized as corporations (公司) or partnership businesses receive the most aid. It says the big farms receive more aid, even when they are more profitable(盈利的) than smaller family farms.
Critics(评论家) say farm subsidies are costly and wasteful. Critics also note that subsidies go only to growers of widely traded crops, like corn, cotton, wheat and soybean.
But many farmers, including the ones who only receive a few thousand dollars a year, support the subsidy programs. They say small farming communities in states like Minnesota, Nebraska, and South Dakota would not survive without the aid.
44. What is the probable number of American farms?
A. 10 million. B. 1 million. C. 10 thousand. D. 100 thousand.
45. Why was 2004 a good year for American farmers?
A. American farmers' earnings increased a lot in 2004.
B. The federal government gave American farmers more aid in 2004.
C. Big farms were organized as partnership businesses in 2004.
D. The federal government reduced farmers' taxes in 2004.
46. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. All American farmers can get the government aid.
B. Only big farms can get the government aid.
C. Only profitable farms can get the government aid.
D. Farmers growing crops like corn and cotton may get the government aid easily.

Monkeys are very similar to us in many ways．Most have ten fingers and ten toes，and brains much like ours．In fact，Charles Darwin's theory of evolution says that monkeys and humans share a common ancestor．We enjoy watching them because they often act like us，and we also love to use many expressions about monkeys in almost every language This is why many monkey expressions are about tricky people or playful acts．
Monkeyshine is one of these expressions to show tricks or foolish acts．The meaning is clear if you have ever watched a group of monkeys playfully chasing each other：pulling tails，stealing food，doing tricks．
Monkeying around with something means that you do not know what you are doing．When you feel like doing something but have no firm idea of what to do，you are monkeying around. It is just a way to pass the time．
Monkey business usually means secret，maybe illegal activities You may come across a news report that there is monkey business involved in building the new airport，with some officials getting secret payments from builders．
Monkey suits are common names for clothes or uniforms soldiers wear．In earlier years in many American cities，you would find men playing musical hand organs on the street．Dancing to the music would be the man's small monkey that was dressed in a tight—fitting，colorful jacket similar to a military uniform．So，people began to call a military uniform a monkey suit．

A study of art history might be a good way to learn more about a culture than is possible to learn in general history classes. Most typical history courses concentrate on politics, economics, and war. But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions, and psychology.
57.
In addition, information about the daily activities of our ancestors – or of people very different from our own—can be provided by art. In short, art express the essential qualities of a time and a place, and a study of it clearly offer us a deeper understanding than can be found in most history books.
58.
In history books, objective information about the political life of a country is presented; that is, facts about politics are given, but opinions are not expressed. Art, on the other hand, is subjective: it reflects emotions and opinions. The great Spanish painter Francisco Goya was perhaps the first truly “ political” artist. In his well- known painting The Third of May 1808, he criticized the Spanish government for its misuse of power over people.

In the same way, art can reflect a culture's religious beliefs. For hundreds of years in Europe, religious art was almost the only type of art that existed. Churches and other religious buildings were filled with paintings that depicted people and stories from the Bible. Although most people couldn't read, they could still understand biblical stories in the pictures on church walls.

By contrast, one of the main characteristics of art in the Middle East was ( and still is) its absence of human and animal images. This reflects the Islamic belief that statues are unholy.

Just as most of us know, some plays are so successful that they run for years on end. In many ways, this is unfortunate for the poor actors who are required to go on repeating the same 1

A famous actor in a 4 successful play was once cast in the role of an aristocrat who had been imprisoned in Bastille for twenty years. In the last act，a gaoler(监狱长，看守)would always come on to the stage with a letter which he would hand to the prisoner. 5 the noble was expected to read the letter at each 6 , he always insisted that it should be written out in full.
One night, the gaoler decided to play a joke on his colleague to find out if, after so many performances, he had managed to learn the 7 of the letter by heart. The curtain went up on the final act of the play and revealed the aristocrat sitting alone behind bars in his dark cell. Just then, the gaoler 8 with the precious letter in his hands. He entered the 9 and presented the letter to the aristocrat. But the copy he gave him had not been written out in 10 as usual. It was simply a blank sheet of paper. The gaoler looked on eagerly, 11 to see if his fellow actor had at last learnt his lines. The noble stared at the blank sheet of paper for a few seconds. Then, squinting(眯着眼看)his eyes, he said, “The light is 12 . Read the letter to me.” And he promptly handed the sheet of paper to the gaoler. 13 that he could not remember a word of the letter either, the gaoler replied, “The light is indeed dim, sir. I must get my 14 .” With this, he hurried off the stage. Much to the aristocrat's 15 ，the gaoler returned a few moments later with a pair of glasses and the usual copy of the letter which he proceeded to read to the prisoner.

Fish farming is becoming more and more popular and important in providing us with food. Sometimes the fish farms are on land; sometimes they are in the sea. In the UK growing salmon(鲑鱼)on fish farms in the sea has becoming big business. In the USA there has been a large increase in the production of oysters(牡蛎)using fish farming techniques.
Oysters need very clean water and the waters of Cape Cod are famous for this. Fish farming of oysters began there about fifteen years ago, when the local supply of oysters disappeared. Possibly the oysters were over-fished or they just died out naturally. Anyway the local people were eager to continue eating their oysters and after a few years when there were few oysters a new business was set up there.
The oysters are grown in different ways according to the different conditions and the different companies that are farming them. The oyster shells are attached at intervals to strings(细绳)that hang from metal frames and reach almost to the bottom of the sea. It is important that the strings do not reach the sea bottom. Then the oysters are kept away from their natural enemies which cannot then attack them. If oysters are protected from their enemies in this way and live in clean water, they will grow lovely and fat and be ready to eat in four years. They are not difficult to feed as they eat almost anything they can find. This kind of fish farming has been practised in Japan, Norway and Australia. So it seems as if the people and the tourists who visit Cape Cod will be able to enjoy their delicious oysters once more.
1. Oysters are growing in .
A. farmland B. seawater C. soil D. pools
2. In what order are the following attached to each other?
A. metal frames – strings – shells – oysters
B. shells – oysters – metal frames – strings
C. strings – metal frames – oysters – shells
D. oysters – strings – shells – metal frames
3. People keep oysters away from the bottom of the sea to .
A. let them live in unpolluted water
B. stop them from swimming away
C. protect them from their enemies
D. test the new growing techniques
4. Why did people develop fish farming?
A. To keep themselves entertained.
B. To supply oysters for dinner table.
C. To do scientific experiments.
D. To solve the problem of food shortages.
5. Which of the following is true?
A. Cape Cod didn't have oysters for a whole generation.
B. It takes four years before an oyster is harvested.
C. The off-bottom method is still new and is being tested.
D. Cape Cod is the first place where oysters were raised.

Growing Vegetables in Space
Have you ever dreamed of travelling in space? Well, you may not go, but you may be able to eat vegetables grown from seeds that have! China, the USA and Russia have all become interested in whether it is possible to eat food grown from seeds that have been in space. Indeed since 1987 China has sent 1,000 species of seeds into space to do experiments. These include green peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, lettuce and wheat.
The most advanced work on growing vegetables in space has been undertaken on the International Space Station run by Russian and American astronauts. One of the most exciting moments was when soybean seeds were brought back to Earth and planted. These seeds were the first to come from a crop grown entirely in space.
The scientists chose to grow soybeans in space because they are an important source of protein in the human diet. Mark Nall, director of Space Product Development Programme for National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA), said that “this experiment and others are paving the way for improving crops grown on Earth, as well as potentially feeding people living in space.” The problem is that producing a new strain of soybean is a slow procedure on Earth so the scientists hope that it can be speeded up in space. Perhaps the seeds may also develop some characteristics that will be useful for farmers — for example, produce more oil or protein.
However, the scientists are aware that there may be problems. “Conditions in outer space such as radiation and low gravity may cause big changes in the seeds,” said Jin Xing, a Chinese researcher. He knows that genetically modified food is still being debated and so some people will be very suspicious of these “space vegetables”. However Jin has a more positive view. He thinks that unlike genetically modified crops, no new genes are being introduced into space vegetables so they will be safe.
The Chinese government certainly thinks so because they have been cooperating with NASA to produce a new strain of virus-free potatoes. Their scientists hope that in space it may be possible to produce a new crop every 40-50 days instead of one crop a year. So watch out for these special potatoes on the supermarket shelves. Maybe some day you will find them on your dinner table!
6. Which of the following countries is NOT mentioned regarding its work on agricultural research in space?
A. Russia. B. The USA. C. France. D. China.
7. The scientists chose to grow soybeans in space because .
A. scientists know more about soybeans
B. it's easy to begin agricultural experiment from soybeans
C. the soybeans share some common characteristics with other plants
D. the soybeans contain protein needed by the human body
8. The underlined phrase “pave the way” in the third paragraph means .
A. to build a new road B. to make things easier
C. to explore a new area D. to solve a problem
9. Mr Jin is positive about space vegetables because .
A. astronauts have tried eating some space vegetables
B. space vegetables are like genetically modified crops
C. no new genes are being introduced into space vegetables
D. scientists have found that it's safe to eat space vegetables
10. The writer's opinion about the space potato is that .
A. the new programme may produce a sound crop
B. people are looking forward to the new product
C. people can buy the new product in the supermarket
D. the new product will have a wide market
IV 书面表达
根据下面的英文提示所提供的情景，续接一段120词左右的文字。
I have a good mind to be a farmer in the future. Do you know why?
参考答案
I 单项选择
1. C解析：第一个空作grow的宾语，而第二个空的谓语动词的主语为what从句，因此是第三人称单数。
2. B解析：这里表示远离灰尘，故选B。
3. A解析：A项意思为“作为……的交换”。句义为“我主动提出粉刷房屋，以换取一周的食宿”。
4. C解析：从题目的意思可以看出，前后两句是让步的关系。句义为“尽管贸易联盟的很多职能都丧失了。但它们仍有很强的政治影响力”。even so虽然如此。
5. A解析：“绿色的或无污染的”称为environmentally friendly。
6. B解析：“人口膨胀”用expand或者increase。
7. C解析：other than除了；or rather更确切地说；more than不仅仅是。根据句义应该选C，rather than而不是。
8. A解析：“因他对我们提的问题感到疑惑，显出疑惑的表情”，用-ed的形式；而“我们提出了令他感到疑惑的问题”，所以用-ing形式修饰questions。
9. B解析：B为“继续进行”的意思。句义为“周围有这么多噪音，我们很难将讨论继续下去”。
10. B解析：imagine后必须跟名词或者动名词作宾语。
11. D解析：spend的用法为spend some time in doing或spend some time on sth。但此题中，lock为及物动词。若选C，应改为spent the whole day locking himself in the room。这里D表示状态，作为主语补足语而存在。
12. C解析：spread流传；expand膨胀；circulate流通；circle绕圈。题意为“这本杂志在我国青少年中流通量大”，意思是很受欢迎。
13. A解析：本题很典型，两个空分别引导了定语从句和强调句。强调句的特点是去掉it is和that句子仍然成立，因此可以判断后一个空的that引导的是强调句，排除B、C、D。而第一个空的that由于先行词在从句中作宾语，因此可以省略。
14. B解析：这里表示“一项令人震惊的技术成就”，故选achievement。D项表示完成。A项在抽象名词具体化时可数，表示成功的人或事。
15. B解析：此题考查固定短语搭配。put … in the shade使……相形见绌。

2. C 解析：expect意为“期待，认为”。人们认为演员一定要把台词背得烂熟。
3. B 解析：人们认为演员绝对不应该结巴。
4. A 解析：high意为“高的”；highly意为“高度地，极为”。
5. B 解析：尽管那个贵族每场戏都得念一遍那封信，但他还是坚持要求将信的全文写在信纸上。even though引导让步状语从句，比though语气更强。
6. B 解析：在第三段第一句有暗示。
7. D 解析：熟记信的内容。
8. A 解析：appeared意为“出现，露面”，此处指上场。
9. B 解析：cell意为“牢房”，在上文有暗示。
10. D 解析：in full意为“全文”，这在第二段已有暗示。
11. C 解析：狱卒热切地观察着，急于想了解他的同事是否熟记了台词。
12. B 解析：“光线太暗”这是贵族委婉而又聪明的托辞，因为他记不住台词。
13. D 解析：分词短语作状语，表示时间。当狱卒发现自己连一个字也记不得时，也找了个借口。
14. A 解析：下文“with a pair of glasses”作了暗示。
15. D 解析：“much to one's + 表示感情的名词”表示“给某人带来很大的……”的意思，此处指狱卒的表现使贵族感到饶有兴味。

5. B解析：第三段第五句明确提到牡蛎四年才可以食用。
6. C解析：第一段第三句提到了A、B、D三个国家。
7. D解析：第三段第一句because后列出了原因。
8. B解析：词组本意为“铺平道路”，这里指的是实验往往是为了最终实现什么目标而作的准备。
9. C解析：第四段最后一句话即为选项C的内容。
10. A解析：根据文章最后一段可知A为最佳答案。
IV. 书面表达
I have a good mind to be a farmer in the future. Do you know why?
The first reason is that the profession is well worth admiring. The government think highly of the job. The second is that our country must need a large number of hard-working farmers with a certain amount of technology. The third is that farmers are the most diligent and they spare no efforts to supply food to us. I do admire farmers. It is they that work in the strong sunshine. The profession is very important and necessary to us all. The farmers should be respected.
So I want to be a farmer in the future.
