七、阅读理解(共17小题;共34分)
A
While reading a book in English, every few lines, you run across a word or two that you don't know. You look up every new word in the dictionary. Bad move. All that does is slow you down. Even electric or CD-ROM dictionaries can get in the way of your reading progress. A dictionary is like a road map. It can help you if you get lost and point you in the right direction. But if you stop to look at the "map" each time you take a step, you'll get nowhere fast.
On your English learning "journey", a dictionary can be a helpful "travel companion"—if it's not overused. To help you start thinking in English, use an English-to-English dictionary. Otherwise, you'll always depend on your native language and end up translating in your head.
A good dictionary can help you do more than just find the meaning of a word. It can help you verify(test and check) spelling, check word forms and grammar usage, find example sentences and learn pronunciation. Some dictionaries even provide exercises to teach you how to use their resources.
Take time to get to know your dictionary. Learn the pronunciation symbols. Understand what the abbreviations(缩写字) mean. Become familiar with the grammar codes that explain the usage for each word. Look for charts, diagrams and lists that might be useful in the future. You'll discover how rewarding it can be to make friends with your dictionary. And as they say, "A friend in need is a friend indeed."
86. The underlined word "that" used in the last paragraph refers to .
A. chart, diagrams and lists
B. abbreviations and the usage for each word
C. the meaning of a word, spelling and grammar usage
D. pronunciation symbols and grammar codes
87. Why do you want to buy a good English-to-English dictionary
A. Because it is a good friend if we use it often.
B. Because it can help us to find the right direction if we get lost.
C. Because it can help us to start thinking both in English and in Chinese.
D. Without it we'll depend on our native language and end up translating in our head.
88. Which of the following statements does the writer lead you to believe
A. The more you use a dictionary, the better you can understand the article you read.
B. The more you use the resources in the dictionary, the more you can benefit from it.
C. The more you use a dictionary, the faster you may read.
D. The better a dictionary is, the more expensive it is.
89. The best title of the passage may be .
A. Dictionary is Like a Road Map While We Are Traveling
B. Use a Dictionary When Necessary
C. How Important a Good English-to-English Dictionary is
D. A Dictionary is a Friend Indeed
B
The world is changing so fast that English, perhaps the most worldly of languages, is struggling to keep up.
Learners in the future are likely to be much younger. Young children are often said to be better at language learning than older learners but they also have special challenges. Young children don't usually have the kind of instrumental motivation and determination for learning English that older learners often have. English lessons must therefore be fun and rewarding.
The reasons why people learn English are also changing. Globalization is bringing together more people than ever who speak different languages and who are turning to English as the means of communication. The English learners of the future may be less worried about sounding exactly like a native speaker and more concerned about how to use English effectively in cross-cultural communication. We may be hearing more non-native speakers in dialogues and a wider range of the "New Englishes" now used around the world.
Technology will allow English to come to you, rather than you having to go to a special place to learn English.
Learning English has always involved both pain and pleasure, private effort and social activity. Traditional learning provided take-it or leave-it mixes of these as well as of content but in future learners will be able to choose a plan which suits their cultural and psychological dispositions(性情), or their particular needs at that moment. They, rather than their teachers, will decide how, what and when they will learn.
Above all, learning English is about communication and an important benefit of learning English is being able to exchange views and make friends with people all over the world. Despite the growing independence of learners, trusted institutions and brand names will remain important.
pared to older learners, young English learners .
A. are more active in learning
B. are more hard-working in learning
C. have more difficulties in learning
D. have less lasting determination in learning
91. What can we learn about the future English language
A. British English will be more popular.
B. American English will be more popular.
C. Most people will speak standard English.
D. Many different kinds of Englishes will appear.
92. What can we learn from the passage
A. Future English lessons will be more interesting.
B. Old people won't have to learn English in the future.
C. People will pay more attention to English pronunciation.
D. Teachers will play a more important role in one's English learning.
93. What can be inferred from the passage
A. Learning English means no pain in the future.
B. English training schools will not be popular with young people in the future.
C. English learners will become less independent in the future.
D. More attention will be paid to personal needs in English learning in the future.

The literal meaning of philosophy is "love of wisdom". But this meaning does not tell us very much. Unlike the other disciplines, philosophy cannot be defined by what you study, because it is actually unlimited. Anything can be the subject matter of philosophy: art, history, law, language, literature, mathematics, and in fact, the other academic disciplines are directly related to philosophy. For this reason you get a Doctorate(博士学位) of Philosophy (Ph.D) in biochemistry, or computer science, or psychology.
Two broad sub-fields of philosophy are logic and the history of philosophy. Logic is the science of argument and critical thinking. It provides sound methods for distinguishing good from bad reasoning. The history of philosophy involves the study of major philosophers and periods in the development of philosophy.
Of what use is philosophy First it is useful in educational advancement. It is necessary for understanding other disciplines. Only philosophy questions the nature of the concepts used in a discipline, and its relation to other disciplines. And through the study of philosophy, one develops sound methods of research and analysis that can be applied to any field.
There are a number of general uses of philosophy. It strengthens one's ability to solve problems, to communicate, to organize ideas and issues, to persuade, and to take what is the most important from a large quantity of data. These general uses are of great benefit in the career field, not necessarily for obtaining one's first job after graduation, but for preparing for positions of responsibility, management and leadership later on. It is very short-sighted after all, to take a course of studies only for the purpose of getting one's first job. The useful skills developed through the study of philosophy have significant long-term benefits in career advancement. No other discipline systematically follows the ideals of wisdom, leadership, and capacity to resolve human conflict.
94. According to paragraph 1, philosophy can best be described as the study of .
A. social sciences
B. natural sciences
C. both social and natural sciences
D. the subject matter of politics
95. What does "discipline" mean in the first paragraph
A. subject B. science C. literature D. occupation
96. With the study of philosophy, you can .
A. become a great leader
B. succeed in everything
C. find a good job soon after graduation
D. make progress in your career development
97. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE
A. Philosophy is an independent discipline.
B. Logic helps you to become a better thinker.
C. The study of philosophy brings you immediate benefits.
D. The meaning of philosophy is too limited to define.
98. From the passage, we can conclude .
A. not all the subjects have to do with philosophy
B. a person will get a Ph.D if he/she studies philosophy
C. philosophy can be helpful for the study of any other subjects
D. philosophy is the only solution to all the problems in the world

The Way We Do Things Round Here
Some years ago, I was hired by an American bank. I received a letter from the head of the Personnel Department that started, "Dear John, I am quite pleased that you have decided to join us." That "quite" saddened me. I thought he was saying "we're kind of pleased you decided to join us although I wish we had hired someone else." Then I discovered that in American English "quite" sometimes means "very", while in British English it means "fairly".
So the first lesson about working in other countries is to learn the language and by that I don't just mean the words people speak. It is body language, dress, manners, ideas and so on. The way people do things highlights many of the differences we see between cultures.
Some of these differences may be only on the surface—dress, food and hours of work—while others may be deeper and take longer to deal with. Mostly, it is just a question of getting used to the differences and accepting them, like the climate, while getting on with business.
Some of the differences may be an improvement. People are more polite; the service is better; you ask for something to be done and it happens without having to ask again. However, other differences can be troubling, like punctuality(准时). If you invite people to a party at 7 o'clock your guests will consider it polite to turn up exactly on time in Germany, five minutes early in the American Midwest, an hour early in Japan, 15 minutes afterwards in the UK, up to an hour afterwards in Italy and some time in the evening in Greece. I prefer not to use the word "late" because there is nothing wrong with the times people arrive. It is simply the accepted thing to do in their own country.
99. The author was unhappy as mentioned in Paragraph 1 because he thought .
A. the American bank didn't think much of him
B. the American bank might hire another person
C. it's difficult to get used to American culture
D. it's easy to misunderstand Americans
100. The word "highlights" in Paragraph 2 probably means .
A. encourages B. helps to narrow
C. increases D. draws attention to
101. According to the author, what should we do with most cultural differences
A. Ask the native people for help.
B. Understand and accept them.
C. Do things in our own way.
D. Do in-depth research.
102. When invited to a party the people who are usually punctual are .
A. Italians B. Germans C. Greeks D. the British
八、短文7选5(5选5等)(共5小题;共10分)
No matter what problem we're facing, we always find solutions. 103. If you need a boost of happiness to help you through the day, be sure to remember these things:
Accept it.
Although it may seem challenging to accept a negative situation, it's your best bet in moving toward a resolution. 104. What you can do is only focus on how to improve the circumstances now.
Don't waste time considering it.
Working on a problem a long time can only make it bigger than it already is. Not only will you feel worse in the long run, but also, you'll lose valuable time when you could be working toward a solution. 105.
Don't compare yourself to others.
When you're struggling through a tough situation, comparing yourself is the last thing you should be doing. 106. Therefore, instead of comparing, you should look at the happiness within yourself.
Make a plan of action.
107. If you don't like the way something is, do what you can in your power to change it. In financial situations, you can work on a budget and prioritize your costs. In a fight with a loved one, you can take some time to cool down and improve things by talking it out.
A. You can't change what already happened.
B. Keep an optimistic mind towards what you can't get.
C. Don't let a bad situation get the best of you—take steps to let it go.
D. You have no idea what struggles another person could be going through.
E. It's impossible to succeed if you're in low spirits.
F. It may be hard to look on the bright side, but everything passes in time.
G. The best way to overcome a negative time is to find a way out of it.
