??? No one can believe that the over 6,300-kilometer Great Wall might disappear some day. Believe it or not, the Great Wall is being destroyed by people. Less than 20 percent of the Great Wall built in the Ming Dynasty, is still perfect, but about 80 percent is in danger. The Great Wall can be called “great” mostly because of its amazing length. But we should realize that the length was made up of one brick at a time. If we do nothing to save the Great Wall, it will become a series of separate wasteland rather than a historic site.
??? The Great Wall is actually a series of walls built and rebuilt by different dynasties over the past 2,000 years. It began in the rule of China's first emperor, Qin Shihuang of the Qin Dynasty (221 BC-206 BC), and lasted into the Ming Dynasty. The parts built before the Ming?Dynasty have nearly disappeared. People are familiar with sections such as Badaling in Beijing and Jiayuguan Pass in Gansu, because they have been open to tourists for many years. But those sections far away from the public eyes have been almost forgotten.
??? Few local people knew the 3-metre-high walls made of earth and stones beside them are part of the Great Wall. The lack of knowledge is considered as one of the main reasons behind human.
??? The bricks on the Great Wall are carried off by countryside people to build their houses, sheep corrals and pigsties. Some were taken away to build roads. Bricks carved with people's names are put away as remembrances. Rubbish is spread over the battlements. The bricks can be sold for 15 yuan per tractor load. Those who destroyed and are destroying the Wall know its name, but are not clear about its cultural meaning. It will take a long time to let them know this. The local farmers not only carried off the body of the Wall but also dug out the entire base.
??? It is necessary to protect the Great Wall. First of all, the officials should be aware of the importance of the Great Wall. Young Chinese should know more about the nation's great civilization and learn to love it.
48. Why does the writer say the Great Wall might disappear?
??? A. It is useless from now on.?
??? B. It will be replaced by a new one.
??? C. Some parts of it are being destroyed.?
??? D. It is too old to be used again.

Under proper conditions, sound waves will be reflected (反射) from a hillside or other such obstruction. Sound travels at the rate of about one fifth of a mile per second. If the hill is eleven hundred feet away, it takes less than two seconds for the sound to travel to the hill and back. Thus , by timing the interval between a sound and its echo (回声), one can estimate the distance to an obstruction (障碍物).
During World War II the British applied the principle to detect (查明) German planes on their way to bomb London long before they were near the target. They used radio waves instead of sound waves, since of the islands. On each of their missions the Germans were very much puzzled to find the outnumbered (数量上大于) Royal Air Force (RAF) lying in wait at the right time and right place. It was radio echoes more than anything else that won the Battle of Britain.
Since the radio waves were used to tell the direction in which to send the RAF planes and the distance to send them (their range of fight , in other words),the de-vice was called radio directing and ranging, and from the initials (开头的) the word radar was coined (A word so coined is an acronym, other examples are laser, UFO and so on).

A. reflects at the rate of about one fifth of a mile per second
B. reflects in less than two seconds

52. German planes were detected by the RAF _______.
A. when they were near their target
B. when they were near London

54. The German pilots were puzzled because ________.
A. their planes were always outnumbered by the Royal Air Force
B. they found that the RAF were using radio waves instead of sound waves

It seems more and more Americans want schools to teach foreign languages to children younger than five years old. The most popular way to teach these young children another language is called immersion.?
??? Children in immersion programs hear only the new language in the classroom. The children play games, sing songs and talk to one another in the new language. Some experts say immersion programs are the most effective way for young children to learn a language. But there can be a problem when children in the United States begin to learn another language at such an early age. Not many elementary schools(小学) continue the effort as the children get older. Only seven of the fifty states require schools to teach a foreign language to students between the ages of six and twelve. Language experts say it is easier for younger children to learn a language. Still, American schools generally do not begin to teach foreign languages until secondary schools. By then, students are about thirteen years old.
??? American schools face difficult choices about the cost of educational programs. The federal government has increased support for foreign language study in its education law called No Child Left Behind.?
??? At the college level, the Modern Language Association says more students than ever are studying foreign languages. The group recently announced its findings for the period from 1998 until 2002. The number of students who studied foreign languages in American colleges and universities increased by seventeen percent. Spanish is the most widely taught language in American colleges and universities. Other popular languages include French, German, Japanese, Chinese and Italian. The Modern Language Association says more languages are being studied now than in the past. It says the largest growth since 1998 has been in the study of American Sign Language, Arabic and biblical Hebrew(希伯来语). The association says about nine percent of college students in the United States study foreign languages. That is the highest level since 1972.

??? A. foreign language learning in America?
??? B. foreign language teaching methods in?America

阅读理解
41. C根据短文第一句“Alfred Nobel ,the founder of Nobel Prizes, was a man of many contrasts.”可知该题答案。
42. D根据短文最后一段第二句（作为工业家，在经济领域他甚至超过了父亲，他的成就远远大于他的父亲）可知该题答案。
43. C根据上下文意思，可确定realistic 意为practical.
44. A 词义理解题。根据上下文意思，survive意思为“幸存”。
45. C 细节理解题。Wilson是个排球，因此它无法说话。
46. D 综合理解题。根据第三段“He also learns that he should have cared more about his friend”。可知答案。
47. A 细节理解题。根据“Friendship helps us understand who we are…”。可知答案。
48. C。细节理解题。从文章第一段第二、三句可知。
49. A。细节判断题。从文章第二段第二句可知。
50. D。句意理解题。从文章第二段最后两句可知，其中but是一个关键词。
51. A。细节理解题。从第三段第二句可知。
52.A A项，声音反射的速度是1/5英里/秒，因此A选项是正确答案。B项，在不到两秒钟之内反射，此种说法，文中没有说明。文中只在一个具体例子中说声音从产生到返回需要不到两秒钟的时间。C项，声音反射速度比正常传播速度快两倍。文中未说明。D项，声音反射速度比正常传播速度快两倍。文中未说明。D项，如果前面有山，声音传播速度慢。文中说，声音会被反射，但并不是说传播速度慢。
53.C 文中第二段开头直接给出了答案：During World War II the British applied the principle to detect German planes on their way to bomb Lon-don long before they were near the target.
54.C 见原文第二段：They used radio waves instead of sound waves, since radio waves can penetrate fog and clouds. 他们（英国人）用无线电波代替了声波能穿透云雾。从这里，我们可以推断，声波不能穿透云雾，或者说：云雾阻碍了声波的传播。C选项正确表达了这一原因，是正确答案。
55.D 见原文第二段：On each of their missions the Germans were very much puzzled to find the outnumbered Royal Air Force (RAF) lying in wait at the right time and right place.每次执行（轰炸）任务时，德军都发现在数量上优于自己的英国皇家空军都在准确的时间和地点严阵以待，这令他们迷惑不解。这说明他们迷惑不解。这说明他们迷惑不解的原因是英国空军竟然知道他们到达的准确时间和准确地点。D选项正确描述了这一原因，符合题意，是正确答案。
56.A 原文第二段末尾处说：It was radio echoes more than anything else that won the Battle of Britain. 正是无线电的回波，而不是其他任何东西（帮助英国人）赢得了不列颠之战的胜利。文章的最后一段说明了radar一词的来源，它是radio directing and ranging （无线电定位装置）的缩写，说明radar是靠无线电回波执行功能的。从以上的分析可以看出，雷达在不列颠之战之中发挥了决定性的作用。因此，A. a decisive （决定性的）是本题的正确答案。
57. A。主旨大意题。此文主要介绍美国的学生学习外语的概况。其他几项都是短文的部分内容。
58. C。猜测词义题。由本句的主语以及第二段的第一、二句可知。
59. D。细节理解题。根据第二段中的关键信息Not many primary schools continue the effort as the children get older可知。
60. C。概括段意题。最后一段的第一句就是此段的主题句，因此答案为C项。

One possible version：
Dear Editor,
??? I'm a senior high student. In my opinion, the classroom is a place for students to gain knowledge. Therefore quietness is badly needed for us to learn our lessons. But recently some students bring their mobile phones to the classroom and we often hear the ring of mobile phones. Some of them even waste precious time in class typing short messages on the mobile phone.
??? To keep the classroom quiet, those with mobile phones should not talk on the phone or send short messages. They should turn them off. We are supposed to concentrate on our studies.
Yours sincerely, Li Hua??????

Tim Richter and his wife, Linda, had taught for over 30 years near Buffalo, New York-he in computers, she in special education. “Teaching means everything to us, ”Tim would say. In April 1998, he learned he would need a heart operation. It was the kind of news that led to some serious thinking about life's purpose.
Not long after the surgery, Tim saw a brochure describing Imagination Library, a program started by Dolly Parton's foundation(基金会)that mailed a book every month to children from birth to age five in the singer's home town of Sevier, Tennessee. “I thought, maybe Linda and I could do something like this when we retire, ”Tim recalled. He placed the brochure on his desk, “as a reminder”.
Five years later, now retired and with that brochure still on the desk, Tim clicked on imaginationlibrary. com. The program had been opened up to partners who could take advantage of book and postage discounts.
The quality of the books was of great concern to the Richters. Rather than sign up online, they went to Dollywood for a look-see. “We didn't want to give the children rubbish, ”says Linda. The books—reviewed each year by teachers, literacy specialists, and Dollywood board members—included classics such as Ezra Jack Keats' The Snowy Day and newer books like Anna Dewdney's Llama Llama series.
Satisfied, the couple set up the Richter Family Foundation and got to work. Since 2004, they have shipped more than 12, 200 books to preschoolers in their area. Megan Williams, a mother of four, is more than appreciative: “This program introduces us to books I've never heard of. ”
The Richters spend about $400 a month sending books to 200 children. “Some people sit there and wait to die, ”says Tim. “Others get as busy as they can in the time they have left. ”
1. What led Tim to think seriously about the meaning of life?
A. His health problem.
B. His love for teaching.
C. The influence of his wife.
D. The news from the Web.
2. What did Tim want to do after learning about Imagination Library?
A. Give out brochures.
B. Do something similar.
C. Write books for children.
D. Retire from being a teacher.
3. According to the text, Dolly Parton is .
A. a well-known surgeon
B. a mother of a four-year-old
C. a singer born in Tennessee
D. a computer programmer
4. Why did the Richters go to Dollywood?
A. To avoid signing up online.
B. To meet Dollywood board members.
C. To make sure the books were the newest.
D. To see if the books were of good quality.
5. What can we learn from Tim's words in the last paragraph?
A. He needs more money to help the children.
B. He wonders why some people are so busy.
C. He tries to save those waiting to die.
D. He considers his efforts worthwhile.
