Animals are natural resources that people have wasted all through our history.
Animals have been killed for their fur and feathers,for food, for sport, and simply because they were in the way. Thousands of kinds of animals have disappeared from the earth forever. Hundreds more are on the danger list today. About 170 kinds in the United States alone are considered in danger.
Why should people care Because we need animals. And because once they are gone, there will never be any more.
Animals are more than beautiful or interesting or a source of food. Every animal has its place in the balance of nature. Destroying one kind of animal can create many problems.
For example, when farmers killed large numbers of hawks(鹰), the farmers’ stores of corn and grain were destroyed by rats and mice. Why Because hawks eat rats and mice. With no hawks to keep down their numbers, the rats and mice multiplied(繁殖) quickly.
Luckily, some people are working to help save the animals. Some groups raise money to let people know about the problem. And they try to get the governments to pass laws protecting animals in danger.
Quite a few countries have passed laws. These laws forbid the killing of any animal or plant on the danger list. Slowly, the number of some animals in danger is growing.
56. Animals are important to us mainly because ______.
A. they give us a source of food
B. they are beautiful and lovely
C. they keep the balance of nature
D. they give us a lot of pleasure
57. What has happened to the animals on the earth

B. A few kinds of animals have died out.
C. About 170 kinds of animals have disappeared forever.
D. All kinds of animals are in danger.
58. Which of the following is NOT true
A. People care much about animals because they need them.
B. Once a certain kind of animal is gone forever, there will never be any more.
C. Killing all rats and mice may cause some new problems.
D. People must not kill any animal or plant.
59. What can we conclude from the fact that quite a few countries have passed laws protecting animals in danger
A. Every person will know the importance of protecting wild animals.

B
About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way; women are luckier　—　only about one in two hundred is affected in this manner. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman!
There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green. Sometimes a person cannot tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man may see everything in shades of green　—　a strange world indeed.
In certain jobs, color blindness can be dangerous. For example, when fighting in the jungle at night, soldiers use very lights or fires to signal each other. A green light may mean “advance” and a red light may mean “Dange! Keep back!” You can see what will happen if somebody thinks that red is green!
Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell the differences between colors. There are also millions of “roads”, but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shapes but not
colors.
Some insects have favorite colors. Mosquitoes like blue but do not like yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue lamp will.
In a similar way human beings have favorite colors. Blue is often popular because it is the color of the cool sky and sea. Green is a peaceful color which makes us think of wide fields and forests. Yellow is the cheerful color of the sun. On the other hand, red is the color of blood and fire. It makes some people think of accidents, danger and bloodshed. Black is the color of night. In the dark we cannot see what is around us, so we are sometimes afraid of the unknown and do not like black as a color. Perhaps that is why it is often the color of mourning(哀悼).
Yet we are lucky. With the aid of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colors by day, and with the aid of the roads we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible colors around us.
61. Which of the following is TRUE
　　A. More men suffer from color blindness than women.
B. More women are affected by color blindness than men.
C. No women suffer from color blindness.
D. It’s safer to say females are better drivers than males.
62. Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women
A. Women are more careful.
B. There are fewer color-blind women.
C. Women are fond of driving than men.
D. Women are weaker but more careful.
63. What is the best title for the passage
A. Good Driver B. Cones
C. Invisible Colors D. Color Blindness
C
Our surroundings are being polluted faster than nature and man’s present efforts cannot prevent it. Time is bringing us more people, and more people will bring us more industry, more cars, larger cities, and the growing use of man-made materials.
What can explain and solve this problem The fact is that pollution is caused by man—by his desire for a modern way of life. We make “increasing industrialization” our chief aim. So we are often ready to offer everything: clean air, pure water, good food, our health and the future of our children. There is a constant flow of people from the countryside into the cities, eager for the benefits of our modern society. But as our technological achievements have grown in the last twenty years, pollution has become a serious problem.
Isn’t it time we stopped to ask ourselves where we are going—and why It makes one think of the story about the airline pilot who told his passengers over the loudspeaker, “I’ve some good news and some bad news. The good news is that we’re making rapid progress at 530 miles per hour. The bad news is that we’re lost and don’t know where we’re going.” The sad fact is that this becomes a true story when spoken of our modern society.
64.Man cannot prevent the world from being polluted mainly because______.
A. the population of the world is decreasing fast
B. people use too many man-made materials
C. we have more and more industry
D. we are producing more cars, trucks and buses
65. People crowd into the cities because ______.
　　A. they want very much to find well-paid jobs
　　B. they are anxious to enjoy the achievements of our society
C. they have become tired of their homeland
D. they have a strong wish to become industrial workers
66. According to the passage, what does man value most
A. Industry. B. Health.
C. Clean air. D. The future of the children.
67. The story about the airline pilot tells us that ______.
A. man knows where the society is going
B. people do not welcome the rapid development of modern society
C. man can do little about the problem of pollution
D. the writer is worried about the future of our society
68. What does the writer really want to say in this passage
A. With the development of technology, pollution has become a serious problem.
B. Lower the speed of development to stop pollution.
C. It’s time we did something to reduce pollution.
D. As industry is growing fast, pollution is the natural result.
D

Do you know that a fast reader can get the ideas better than a slow reader can Of course, you save time by reading fast, but this is not the main reason for fast reading. The main reason is that you understand better what you are reading when you read fast.
As your eyes move along the lines of print, they make fixations(注视) or pauses. It is important that you see several words at a fixation. It is also important that your eyes leave a group of words quickly and move on to another group. The number of letters or words that you see at a fixation is called your eye span. Pay more attention to improving your rate of reading. With practice you can learn to read faster than you usually read.
The way in which you read always depends on what you are reading and for what purpose. You should know the different ways of reading so that you can apply whatever method that is necessary. Here are four ways of reading:
(1) Skimming is an important kind of reading. This method can be used when you wish to review something that you have forgotten. You can skim to get the main points.
(2) Rapid first reading and then rereading certain parts carefully is important. You may use this type of reading to study a science lesson or a history lesson.
(3) You need to do careful reading and rereading sometimes. This type of reading is necessary for making an intensive(精深的) study of your school subjects, solving maths problems or reading directions.
(4) Rapid reading is used when reading stories for enjoyment. You may also do rapid reading when reviewing material that you already know well.
72. The main reason for reading fast is that you can ______.
A. get the ideas B. save time
C. understand better D. learn well
73. The way of reading always depends on ______.
A. the method that you like
B. your reading material and reading purpose
C. the mood you are in
D. the type of material
74. The underlined word “skimming” means “______”.

B. looking carefully
C. reading only the chief points
D. reading some parts of the material
75. Careful reading is an important kind of reading ______.

37 can be found in the smallest of bodies. Let me tell you the story about Tyler.
Tyler was 38 infected with AIDS; his mother was also infected. From the very beginning of his life, he had to depend on 39 to survive. At times, he also needed extra oxygen to 40 his breathing.
Tyler wasn’t 41 to give up one single moment of his childhood to this deadly disease. It was not 42 to find him playing and racing around his backyard. All of us were 43 at his pure joy in being alive and the energy it gave him. Tyler’s mom often said to him jokingly that he 44 so fast that she needed to dress him in 45 . In that way, when she looked through the window, she could quickly 46 him.
Unfortunately, he grew quite 47 and so did his mother. 48 it became clear that he wasn’t going to survive, Tyler’s mom talked to him about 49 . She comforted him by telling him that she was 50 too, and that she would be 51 him soon in heaven.
A few days before his death, Tyler 52 me over to his hospital bed and whispered, “I might die soon. I’m not 53 . When I die, please dress me in red. Mom 54 she’s coming to heaven, too. I’ll be 55 when she gets there, and I want to make sure she can find me.”

Dear Lifeline,
I shall be getting married in August. My mother wants me to have a white wedding in church, because I am the only daughter, and she wants me to have the kind of wedding that she had. I, on the other hand, would like to have a simple wedding and a small party afterwards for my immediate family and close friends. I don’t want my parents to go to a lot of expense just for one day. I’d rather they spent the money on things that my husband and I will need and that will last us for many years.
Do you agree with me that this is a reasonable point of view Can you think of a way in which I might persuade my parents to think as I do
Yours,
Money-Conscious
Dear Money-Conscious,
We agree that your point of view is reasonable, but reason isn’t everything. Your parents clearly do not mind “going to a lot of expense” as you do. They would mind more if you prevent them from doing so. There is, in fact, no reason why a white wedding in church should cost a lot of money. Such a wedding can be very simple, yet it can give you the sort of happy memories that your mother has of her own wedding day.
We suggest you meet your mother halfway. Have a simple church wedding and a simple party afterwards. If it means so much to your mother, perhaps so much to your mother, perhaps you owe it to her to do as she wishes. We are sure that you will not regret it.
Yours,
Lifeline
56. The purpose of the Problem Page is to ______.

A. spend a lot of money buying what she will need
B. give her and her husband the money instead of a church wedding
C. give her money in several years
D. spend the money on useful things rather than on the wedding
58. Lifeline suggests a simple church wedding because ______.
A. this is the least expensive kind of wedding
B. you should be reasonable about something like a wedding
C. it can be inexpensive yet it can give you a life time’s happy memories
D. it is the simplest, yet happiest sort of wedding

The latest United Nations report on the AIDS spread paints a sad picture. It concludes that the regions of the world most affected by AIDS will experience rapid increases in deaths among young adults. This will have serious social and economic results.
The spread of AIDS and the virus that causes it, HIV, is particularly destructive in Africa. It is estimated that in sub-Saharan Africa, over twenty-four million adults and children are now living with HIV. In sixteen sub-Saharan countries, according to the UN, at least ten percent of the people between the ages of fifteen and forty-nine are HIV positive(阳性的). In 　South Africa and Zimbabwe, half the people between those ages may die of AIDS. In Botswana, about one in three adults is infected, and some two-thirds of the country’s fifteen-year-old boys may die before they grow up.
　As a result, agriculture, business, education, and healthcare are already suffering serious loss. The United States is spending millions on prevention campaigns and making AIDS treatment more affordable. Money is also being used to reduce mother-to-child transmission rates, support home and community-based care, and provide care for children orphaned by AIDS. The Peace Corps will soon make an all-out effort to bring AIDS education to the countries most at risk. It is important that the governments and citizens of those nations most affected by AIDS do their parts to fight against it. Some, like Senegal and Uganda, have already begun programs for disease prevention. These countries are experiencing falling or stable HIV rates and less suffering. But for other nations, much remains to be done.
59. The report shows that ______.
A. more deaths are caused by AIDS
B. more places are affected by AIDS
C. more young adults are dying of AIDS
D. the spread of AIDS can never be controlled
60. Which of the following statements is TRUE
A. The spread of AIDS is getting worse and more dangerous in Africa.
B. In South Africa and Zimbabwe, 50% of the population may die of AIDS.
C. In sub-Saharan Africa, 90% of the population are not affected by AIDS.
D. In Botswana, about one-third of the children are infected with AIDS.
61. The money used to fight against AIDS doesn’t include that for ______.
A. children orphaned by war
B. reduction of mother-to-child transmission
C. home and community-based care
D. prevention and treatment
62. The underlined phrase “at risk” in the last paragraph probably means “______”.
A. likely to be affected by AIDS
B. dangerous
C. poor in medical care
D. poor in education
C
Hollywood sweetheart Cameron Diaz is more than happy to be a princess.
In Shrek 2, which opened last week, Diaz once again gives her voice to newly-wed princess Fiona, who is happy to live with her ogre husband. Back in real life, she cherishes her time alone. She likes it more than anything, including her dear, US pop singer Justin Timberlake.
“I love living alone. I don’t think I could live with anybody,” Diaz said. “I also love being by myself. I hang out with my cats. My fantasy is to spend a month without communicating with anyone.”
　Diaz is a member of the US＄20 million-a-movie club. She is ready to become the highest paid woman in Hollywood with a US＄30 million paycheck for a Fun With Dick and Jane, a comedy about a struggling couple who turn to crime to get their bills paid, due in 2005.
　The 31-year-old former teen model hit it big 10 years ago with her role in Canadian actor Jim Carrey’s The Mask. She says, “I don’t live an extraordinary, extravagant lifestyle. But money does bring me stability and a sense of security. My wealth is actually the people I’m surrounded by. I love being with people who accept me and I accept.”
　Diaz says she’s learnt what really matters in life. And so have the characters in her movies. “From the first Shrek you learn to love and accept yourself for who you are and others for who they are,” Diaz says. “This Shrek takes it even further and says you can’t buy happiness. Society tells us that having the right car, the right furniture and the right dog will make us happy. But you have to be happy from within.”
63. What Diaz likes in her real life is to ______.
A. stay with Timberlake B. stay alone
C. sing on stage D. attend gatherings
64. What does the writer think of Diaz
A. She is the richest woman in Hollywood.

D. She is far-sighted.
65. Diaz used to be a(n) ______.
A. actress B. singer
C. model D. director
66. In Diaz’s opinion, ______.
A. money is very important, but it is less important compared with people
B. money is more important than anything else
C. being an actress is her dream
D. taking up acting is full of bitterness
67. The last paragraph mainly tells us ______.
A. what Diaz has got from the movie
B. she is tired of acting
C. what is happiness
D. how Diaz gets happiness
D
It is now commonly known that AIDS is a deadly disease. It does great damage to human beings’ immune system, weakening resistance to disease and leading to death due to utter(彻底的) weakness. To this day, there are no existing drugs that can kill the AIDS virus. It is a deadly battle between science and AIDS.
This is only one side of the story. Although it cannot be cured, AIDS is preventable. For those who have not caught the disease, the knowledge of preventive measures seems to be the most powerful weapon(武器) at hand.
Since the discovery of the first AIDS patient in 1985, the number of HIV carriers is on an alarming rise in China and statistics show that young people are the more likely victims of AIDS. Nationwide there are 214 million people between the ages of 13 and 22, most of whom are students. If no measures are taken to protect these young people, it is almost certain that the threat of AIDS will be very real to them. There has been a great deal of misinformation concerning the transmission of AIDS.
One of the most misleading myths is that AIDS can be transmitted by casual physical contact such as kissing, shaking hands or sharing food container. Surveys and investigations conducted in some universities and colleges show that half of those people questioned are not clear about how AIDS is transmitted, not to mention how it is prevented.
This is the driving force behind the State Education Deparment’s decision to spread AIDS awareness information among college students and later to high school students and primary school students.
68. Why does the passage say that AIDS is a deadly disease
A. Because it destroys the immune system of the human body.
B. Because the AIDS patients cannot resist diseases and will die.
C. Because the doctor can find no medicine to cure AIDS.
D. All of the above.
69. By writing “This is only one side of the story”, the author suggests that ______.
A. although we can’t cure AIDS, we can manage to prevent it
B. AIDS is very dangerous, but we should not be scared of it
C. AIDS is not curable, but doctors should not give up fighting against it
D. although the doctors cannot cure the disease, they can help improve the patients’ health
70. What can be concluded from the surveys and investigations mentioned in the passage
A. No college students know how people become AIDS victims.
B. 50 percent of college students do not know how to prevent AIDS.
C. Many college students are not aware how people become AIDS victims.
D. Many college students did not mention AIDS prevention in the surveys and investigations.
71. What is the best title for this passage
A. China Fights AIDS
B. Young People　—　Most Likely AIDS Victims
C. AIDS Information Is Necessary
D. AIDS　—　A Deadly Disease

It is April in the United States, the time of year when most of our public schools have their Spring Breaks. Spring Break is a week’s vacation during the second term of each school year. Students look forward to it as it is seen as a time of fun, a time for hanging out with your friends or taking a road trip. This is especially true for those whose time in school is nearing an end, that is, the seniors. After Spring Break, they will only have a month and a half or so of classes left before they finish this level of education and move on to the rest of their lives. This is an exciting and bitter time for these people. Spring Break is the beginning of saying good-bye to childhood and childhood friends, though few seniors would still consider themselves children.
Many seniors take a road trip for their last Spring Break. This means that they travel in a car with some friends and drive somewhere, often somewhere warm if they live in the north where it has been cold and snowy for some months. Florida is a popular place. During this time they will hang out with their friends, go to parties, and meet new people. It’s a period of relaxation before the final push to finish their basic education. Then again, for some seniors, it marks something serious that teachers call “seniorities”. This is not a real disease, but it is a word that describes a group of problems seen in many seniors in their last days in school. The main problem is a lack of desire to do anything other than for fun. Schoolwork becomes less and less important. After Spring Break, there are a couple of their activities that occur for seniors only. At the high school I attended, we had a senior breakfast. This was a gathering of all the seniors in the school for a breakfast. Some teachers came too. At this event, we gave out awards on which the senior class had voted. These awards included “Best Smile” and “Most Likely to Succeed”, among others.
72. In the passage, the word “seniors” means “______”.
A. old people in school
B. the younger of the students at school
C. the teachers who are having a vacation
D. the students who are going to finish school
73. They think Spring Break exciting and bitter because it is a time of ______.
A. saying good-bye to each other
B. major change in their life
C. relaxation and more fun in life
D. traveling to somewhere they like
74. After Spring Break, the seniors ______.
A. will feel too tired to go on with their study
B. will be ready for the senior breakfast
C. would have more fun rather than study
D. will suffer from a kind of disease
75. From the passage we can see that Spring Breaks ______.
A. bring a lot of trouble to schools
B. are popular with students
C. are not permitted in some schools
D. are popular with children only

Last year, my classmate Jane and I graduated from an ordinary normal university. Like most of the students who had just stepped out of university, we had to 36 the first tough test — job hunting to 37 a passport to society. And the most 38 part was the job interview.

Before the job interview, I 41 thorough preparations, including a formal suit, a newly-done hair, a few 42 on job interviews, and even some ancient Chinese poems 43 I encountered a learned interviewer.

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
EL Nino has existed for a long time. It was first observed by Peruvian(秘鲁) fishermen who noticed that sea warmed up every few years around Christmas time. They named the phenomenon(现象) EL Nino, which is Spanish for“the child”,　and refers to the young Christ.
In more recent years, climatologists have discovered the fact that EL Nino appears every two to seven years. Its cause is still unknown, but it’s clear that when it does appear, it can disrupt(使混乱) weather patterns over three quarters of the globe. In fact, after the EL Nino of 1982/1983, climatologists realized that it affects the world’s weather systems more than any other phenomenon except the seasons. That EL Nino killed over 2,000 people in floods and droughts and caused ＄13 billion worth of damage.
In the wave of such global climatic disruption, climatologists have begun to give all their attention to the relationship between the oceans and the atmosphere. What has appeared is a complex interaction between sea and air, which drives the world’s weather systems. Ocean temperatures create winds which control currents(气流), which in turn move heat around the surface of the oceans, creating new winds, in a cycle that repeats itself endlessly. By examining this relationship, climatologists have begun to understand how a body of water, which is only slightly warmer than the water around it, can have a serious effect on a large area’s climate. And when the body of warm water is the size of this year’s EL Nino, global climatic change seems certain to happen.
56. From the first paragraph we can infer that ______.
A. only fishermen care about the phenomenon EL Nino
B. Peruvian fishermen can speak Spanish
C. EL Nino has only existed in a certain place for a long time
D. Some Peruvian fishermen were scientists
57. From the second paragraph we can get to know that ______.
A. climatologists have found the ways to deal with EL Nino
B. climatologist have found the real cause of EL Nino
C. climatologists have found how often EL Nino happens
D. climatologists have found that the seasons of the globe are out of order
58. In the third paragraph, the underlined word“interaction” means“______”.
A. activity of putting into
B. activity of working together
C. activity of moving about
D. activity of drawing near
59. In an EL Nino year, ______.
A. seasons are disrupted
B. there is no wind blowing
C. parts of the globe suffer greatly
D. parts of the globe are covered by sea water

Today, air travel is far safer than driving a car on a busy motorway. But still there is a danger that grows every year. Airliners get larger and larger. Some airplanes can carry over 300 passengers. And the air itself becomes more and more crowded. If one large airliner struck into another in midair, 600 lives could be lost.
From the moment an airliner takes off to the moment it lands, every movement is watched on radar screens. Air traffic controllers tell the pilot exactly when to turn, when to climb, and when to come down. The air traffic controllers around a busy airport like London-Heathrow may deal with 2,500 planes a day. Not all of them actually land at the airport. Any plane that flies near the airport comes under the orders of the controllers there. Even a small mistake on their part could cause a terrible accident.
Recently such a disaster almost happened. Two large jets were flying towards the airport. One was carrying 69 passengers from Toronto, the other 176 passengers from Chicago. An air traffic controller noticed on his radar screen that the two planes were too close to each other. He ordered one to turn to the right and to climb. But he made a mistake. He ordered the wrong plane to do this. So, instead of turning away from the second plane, the first plane turned towards it. Fifteen seconds later it flew directly in front of the second plane. They avoided each other by the smallest part of a second. The distance between them was less than that of a large swimming pool. This is an example of the danger that grows every year.
60. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. Traveling by air is as safe as by car.
B. Traveling by air is not as safe as by car.
C. Traveling by car is as dangerous as by air.
D. Traveling by car is more dangerous than by air.
61. The air traffic controllers of an airport ______.
A. control all the planes flying near the airport
B. give orders to planes leaving the airport
C. only deal with the planes that want to land there
D. are allowed to handle 250 planes a day
62. The danger of air crashes grows every year because ______.
A. airliners are getting larger and air traffic is becoming heavier
B. a pilot does not always hear a controller’s order
C. a controller is likely to make more and more mistakes
D. airports can hardly serve the growing number of airplanes
63. The example in the passage is to show that ______.
A. air traffic controllers are often careless
B. air traffic controllers should pay much attention to avoiding accidents
C. it is difficult for airplanes to avoid terrible accidents
D. two planes should not fly too close to each other

Buildings crashing to the ground in seconds. Thousands of people losing their lives in a flash. Since they were told an earthquake would hit Tokyo around September 16, Japanese people haven’t been able to get these thoughts out of their minds.
They heard the news from Yoshio Kushida, a researcher who used radio waves to predict that an earthquake would strike with a magnitude(量级) of at least seven. “It would be terrible not to warn people of a possible disaster in case a quake actually occurs,” he said.
His warning had a big effect. Frightened Tokyo people have been stocking up on(贮存)　water, food and candles in preparation for the terrible day.
But Kushida hasn’t had much support from the experts. At present, predicting earthquakes is thought to be impossible. No one can tell exactly where or when the next major earthquake will occur. An earthquake begins tens of miles below the earth’s surface: it’s too far-away to see.
Ancient Chinese and Italian scientists forecast earthquakes by special “earthquake clouds”. They found that a week before an earthquake, there were often strange clouds — shaped like snakes, waves or feathers — in the sky. They thought the clouds might come from a gas produced underground by an earthquake.
People also used to watch animals to see if earthquakes were coming. When they saw birds fly away suddenly, dogs barking violently or fish jumping out of the water, they told people to leave the area. Some scientists believed animals had a sharper sense of changes taking place underground.
But the ancient methods were not reliable enough. Nowadays, scientists use special instruments to predict earthquakes more precisely(精确地).
Satellite systems are very useful: they record small changes in the earth’s magnetic fields(磁场)　which help show where and when an earthquake may strike.
64. Since they were told an earthquake would hit Tokyo, Japanese people ______.
A. have had no mind to do their work
B. have always thought great damage it may cause
C. have almost forgot about it
D. have bought all the foods in the markets
65. Which of the following is TRUE
A. Tokyo people were surprised at the warning.
B. Greater disasters would happen if people are not warned of before an earthquake.
C. Predicting earthquakes is completely impossible at present science level.
D. According to ancient people, before an earthquake we can see strange clouds anywhere.
66. We can infer from the passage that ______.
A. an earthquake is about to attack Tokyo
B. there are some signs of an earthquake anyone can know about before it happens
C. some animals can precisely predict any earthquake
D. people predict earthquakes according to small changes of magnetic fields of the earth more precisely
67. Which can be the best title for the passage
A. Earthquake Prediction B. Magnetic Fields
C. Earthquakes D. Earthquake in Japan

Have you ever suddenly felt that someone you knew was in trouble　—　and was he Have you ever dreamed something that came true later Maybe you have ESP (特异功能).
ESP stands for Extrasensory Perception. It may be called a sixth sense. It seems to let people know about events before they happen, or events that are happening some distance away.
Here’s an example. A woman was ironing clothes. Suddenly she screamed, “My father is dead! I saw him sitting in the chair!” Just then, a telegram came. The woman’s father died of a heart attack. He died sitting in a chair.
There are thousands of stories like this one on record. Scientists are studying them to find out what’s behind these strange mental messages. Here’s another example　—　one of hundreds of dreams that have come true.
A man dreamed he was walking along a road when a horse and carriage came by. The driver said, “There’s room for one more.”　The man felt the driver seemed dead, so he ran away. The next day, when the man was getting on a crowded bus, the bus driver said, “There’s room for one more.”
Then the man saw that the driver’s face was the same face he had seen in the dream. He wouldn’t get on the bus. As the bus drove off, it crashed and burst into flames. Everyone was killed!
Some people say stories like these are coincidences. Others, including some scientists, say that ESP is real. From studies of ESP, we may someday learn more about the human mind.
72. According to the passage, the author believes that the sixth sense is ______.
A. in existence B. imaginative
C. not real D. impossible
73. By studying ESP, scientists may get to ______.
A. learn how people tell lies
B. know more about human dreams
C. know more about human mind
D. learn how strange things happen
74. In the last paragraph the underlined word“coincidences”probably means “______”.

Money is one of the most important inventions because if we didn’t have money there would be no trade. In the past all kinds of things have been used for money, including gold, seashells and even dead rats. No one really knows when money was invented. It’s believed that coins were invented in China because metal has been used for centuries and we do know that paper money was invented in China, too, sometime around the l0th century AD. But it wasn’t until the 9th century that Europe began using money. When it was first invented, there were many different kinds. But now, of course, we’re heading towards a single, world money. I mean, already the American dollar is used for international trade, and now many countries in Europe use the Euro dollar, instead of the Franc or Mark. However, it will be a long time before there is a single, global currency.

Dear Editor,
I’m writing to tell you about the changes in my hometown. My hometown used to be a beautiful place. Trees grow thickly on all the hills around the village. In order to build houses and grow more crops, trees were cut down but none were planted. As time went by, the whole forest was almost destroyed. Gradually, the green hills have changed into wasteland. The water in the rivers becomes black and dirty. You can’t see a fish in it. As a result, sandstorms struck us now and then, from which we suffered a lot. Many of the people had to leave. So, I do hope all the people should realize the importance of caring about our environment. What’s more, we should take care of the forests and plant more trees instead of cutting them down in order to make our life better.
Yours,

A
　 Geena David knew she wanted to be a movie star when she was very young. She was not sure what gave her the idea, but she wanted to look like a movie star. “I have a lot of pictures from my childhood of me wearing sunglasses,” she says. “I used to wear them to watch TV.”
　 Early movie actors started wearing sunglasses not because they looked good, but because their eyes hurt. The lights used on movie sets were extremely bright and could cause a painful problem known as “Klieg eyes”. It was named after the Klieg brothers who invented the lights. Actors wore sunglasses to give their eyes a rest. But when movie stars began wearing their sunglasses in public, they quickly became a must.
　 Eventually actors started wearing sunglasses in their movies as well as on the street. Audrey Hephburn wore ultra-cool Ray-Ban sunglasses in the 1961 movie, Breakfast at Tiffany’s. As a result, Ray-Ban sunglasses started to appear more and more in the movies. In 1979, Ray-Ban “Wayfarers” were worn by Jake and Elwood in The Blue Brothers. Tom Cruise wore Ray-Ban “Aviator” sunglasses in the 1986 hit, Top Gun. Then in 1997, Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones made Ray-Ban “Predator” sunglasses famous in Men in Black.
　 Of course sunglasses aren’t just a fashion statement. The main reason to wear sunglasses is to protect our eyes against UV radiation. UV radiation can damage our eyes, so people now choose their sunglasses carefully. But you don’t have to give up style for safety. The choice of frames and lenses available these days is huge. So you can protect your eyes and still be the coolest person on the beach.

A. Audrey Hephburn was a famous film star

“Just five more minutes.” “I’m tired!” “I can’t get up.” If you have ever had trouble getting up in the morning, you are not alone. Many kids in the United States do not get enough sleep.
Your body needs sleep — and lots of it! “Evidence(证据) shows that elementary-age children need at least nine hours of sleep per night,” said sleep expert Dr. Carl Hunt.
Kids who do not sleep enough cannot do their best, experts say. A tired kid may be moody and act badly. Being tired can also cause kids to forget things,have trouble learning, and have trouble playing sports.
Not sleeping enough can also affect kids’safety. Experts say children who are tired are more likely to suffer injuries.
Lots of kids lose sleep because they are busy. Many take part in after-school activities. Then they go home, eat dinner, and do homework. Afterward, many kids watch TV, play video games, and surf the Internet. That leaves less time for sleep.
Sometimes you may not be able to go to bed early. But, if you get a choice whether to stay up late, think twice. A good night’s sleep can help you feel your best!

It looks like a mobile phone, but the service is much cheaper. It acts like a mobile phone, but only in your own city. Beyond the city walls, it’s useless.
“Little Smart”, also called “xiaolingtong”, has always been compared to mobile phones. But actually, it is more like one of those cordless phones(无绳电话) used around the home. The only difference is that this one reaches much further than from the bathroom to the living room. It can travel across an entire city.
Cheap costs are the main reason for the success of Little Smart. It costs 25 yuan a month for the line and about 0.1 yuan per minute to use. A mobile phone, on the other hand, can cost four or five times as much. What’s more, unlike mobile phones, there’s no fee(费) for incoming calls. So these low charges have attracted many users.
But, Little Smart is not really that smart. Users often complain about its bad voice quality. And there are not as many stations to pick up its signals as there are for mobiles. “I couldn’t receive a phone call if I was on a bus,” said Li Ping, a user in Hangzhou. “It worked fine when I stood still, but there were breaks in signal when I was moving.”
Scientists are trying to make Little Smart more user-friendly. Messaging and Internet access(接入) have been added to the service. And the latest Little Smart handset even has color screen.
54.Why is Little Smart popular in China
A. It looks like a mobile phone.
B. The service is much cheaper.
C. There is no fee for incoming calls.
D. All of the above.
55.How is the charge of Little Smart
A. About 10 fen per minute to use.
B. It costs four or five times more than a mobile phone.
C. It only costs 25 yuan each month.
D. There’s no fee for calls.
56.Why are users not satisfied with Little Smart
A. They can’t hear each other clearly out of the city.
B. There are so few stations for Little Smart to pick up its signals.
C. When you use it, you must stand up.
D. The charges are low.
57.The underlined word “handset” in the last paragraph means “______”.
A. the hand bag B. telephone
C. service D. mobile phone
58.What can we infer from the passage
A. It’s wrong to say that Little Smart is smart.
B. Scientist are trying to make Little Smart smaller.
C. Little Smart will be better than today.
D. People will change Little Smart into a mobile phone.

If you see someone drowning, speed is very important. Once you get him out of the water, if he isn’t breathing, you have four minutes before his brain is completely destroyed. Support his neck, tilt(使翘起) his head back and press his chin(下巴) upwards. This stops the tongue blocking the airway in the throat and is sometimes enough to get him breathing again. If that doesn’t work, start mouth-to-mouth breathing. Press his nostrils(鼻孔) together with your fingers. Open your mouth and take a deep breath. Blow into his lungs until his chest rises, then remove your mouth and watch his chest fall. Repeat twelve times a minute. Keep doing until help arrives.
To bring a child back to life, keep your lips around his mouth and nose and gently blow into his mouth. Give the first four breaths as quickly as possible to fill the blood with oxygen. If in spite of your efforts, he starts turning a blue-grey color and you can feel no pulse, pressing is the last chance of saving his life.
With arms straight, rock forward, pressing down on the lower half of the breastbone. Don’t be too hard, or you may break a rib(肋骨). Check how effective you are by seeing if his color improves or his pulse becomes independent of your chest pressing. If this happens, stop the pressing. Or continue until rescue arrives.
56. ______ is the most important thing in saving a drowning people.
A. Mouth-to-mouth breathing B. Repeating
C. Speed D. Removing blocks in his throat
57. The correct steps to do the mouth-to-mouth breathing are ______.
a. pressing his nostrils together
b. blowing into his lungs
c. opening your mouth and taking a deep breath
A. acb B. bca C. abc D. cab
58. Which of the following statements of pressing is TRUE
A. It can be done directly when you see a drowning person.
B. It can make the drowning person turn a blue-grey color.
C. It helps the pulse work.
D. It should be done together with the mouth-to-mouth breathing.
59. What’s the best title for this passage
A. Saving the Drowning. B. Safety Rules.

Good health is the most valuable possession a person can have, but one can’t take good health for granted. It is important to remember that the body needs proper care in order to be healthy. There are three things that a person can do to help stay in good shape: eat the right foods, get enough sleep and exercise regularly.
Proper nutrition is important for good health. Your body cannot function well unless it receives the proper kind of “fuel”. Avoid foods with lots of sugar and fat. Eat plenty of foods high in protein, like lean meat, fish, beans and nuts. Vegetables and fruit are especially important because they provide necessary vitamins and minerals. However, don’t overeat. It is not healthful to be overweight.
Getting the proper amount of sleep is also important. If you don’t get enough sleep, you feel tired and irritable(易怒的). You have no energy. Over a long period of time a little amount of sleep may even result in a change of personality. Be sure to allow yourself from seven to nine hours of sleep each night. If you do, your body will feel strong and refreshed, and your mind will be sharp.
Finally, get plenty of exercise. Exercise firms the body, strengthens the muscles and prevents you from gaining weight. It also improves your heart and lungs. If you follow a regular exercise program, you will probably increase your lifespan(寿命). Any kind of exercise is good. Most sports are excellent for keeping the body in good shape. Basketball, swimming, bicycling, gymnastics and running are all good examples. Sports are not only good for your body, but they are enjoyable and interesting, too.
If everybody were to eat the right foods and get plenty of sleep and exercise regularly, the world would be a happier and healthier place. We would all live to be much older and wiser.
60. According to the passage, ______.
A. proper care is very important for us to keep fit
B. if we are healthy, we can adventure ourselves in doing things with less sleep
C. one can eat a lot to stay in good shape
D. one needn’t do any exercise if he is healthy
61. “Eating more and sleeping less” ______.
A. can keep healthy
B. is no good for you
C. gets you more energy
D. will keep your personality
62. The underlined word “sharp” means “______”.
A. having a thin cutting edge B. irritable
C. comfortable D. sensitive
63. The title for the passage should be “______”.
A. Eating and Exercising
B. The Function of Vitamins
C. Staying Healthy
D. Sleeping Well

New York is one of the last large American cities to have some of its policemen on horseback. The New York police have 170 horses working in certain parts of the city. The horses are expensive to feed, but it is even expensive to look after them. Because the horses must walk on the streets, they need special horseshoes. In fact, they need more than 8,000 of them each year. Every police horse in New York gets new shoes every month. Keeping these shoes in good repair is the job of six blacksmiths. There are only about thirty-five of these blacksmiths in the whole United States.
The cost of shoeing a horse is between twenty dollars and thirty-five dollars, and it takes a good blacksmith two or three hours to do the job.
A blacksmith’s job is not an easy one. He must be able to shape a shoe from a piece of metal and then fit it to the horse’s foot. The blacksmith must bend over all the time when he is fitting the shoe and must hold the weight of the horse’s leg while he works. But even more important, he must be able to deal with horses for before the blacksmith can begin his work, he has to get the horse to lift its leg.
One of the blacksmiths in New York is James Corbin. He came to the country from Ireland in 1948. He not only makes horseshoes for the police but also works for a group of horse owners near the city. Corbin became interested in blacksmithing because his father did it, and, as he puts it, “It’s a good way to make a living.”
64. Why did James Corbin become a blacksmith
A. His father asked him to.
B. He was needed by the policemen.
C. He drew a picture of the horses.
D. Because of his father’s effect and his interest.
65. In the third paragraph, “to shape a shoe” is to “______”.
A. fit a shoe to the horse’s foot
B. use a shoe for two or three hours
C. make the form of a horseshoe from a piece of metal
D. draw a picture of the shoe
66. The best title for the passage is “______”.
　　 A. Policemen on Horseback
　　 B. Blacksmiths and Horseshoeing
　　 C. James Corbin, a Blacksmith
　 　D. Horseshoeing Is a Good Way to Make a Living
67. Which of the following is TRUE
A. Only a few large American cities have some policemen on horseback.
B. New York is the only city in America to have some policemen on horseback.
C. Policemen on horseback enjoy traveling around the United States.
D. Policemen on horseback are less paid than those in cars.

What do you do if you are hit in the mouth and one of your teeth is knocked out A dentist may be able to put the tooth back in for you, but you have to get to the dentist first. In the meantime, you have to store the tooth so that it will stay healthy.
The simplest thing to do is to put the tooth back into your mouth, or you could put it in milk. Frank Courts, a dentist at the University of Florida, worked with other researchers to find the safest way of keeping knocked-out teeth. He tried putting teeth into milk, into water, and into cell-culture medium(细胞培养液). He also tried just drying the teeth in the open air. He used teeth that had to be removed from people’s mouths for various reasons. The teeth were put into one of the solutions(溶液) or stored in the air for one hour. Then cells from the root of the teeth were scraped off the teeth. Dr Courts and the others then studied how healthy these cells were.
The cell-culture medium worked best to keep a knocked-out tooth healthy outside the mouth. However, few people keep cell-culture medium handy at home or in school. The next best thing was milk. But Dr Courts said that the best thing of all was to wash the tooth and put it right back into its socket(牙槽) in the mouth. For some people, though, this is just too painful or upsetting. So milk will do, until you get your tooth (and your mouth) to a dentist.
72. This passage is mainly about　______.
A. how a dentist can save a knocked-out tooth
B. how to keep a knocked-out tooth healthy
C. how Dr Courts and other researchers made their experiments
D. how to put a knocked-out tooth back into its socket
73. Dr Courts tested ______.
A. man-made teeth
B. teeth dried in the open air
C. teeth pulled for various reasons
D. teeth put back in their sockets
74. The best way to keep a knocked-out tooth healthy outside the mouth is to store it ______.
A. in cell-culture medium B. in milk
C. in water D. in the open air
75. Milk can be used instead of cell-culture medium to put a knocked-out tooth in because ______.
A. milk works better to keep the tooth healthy
B. milk causes less pain
C. cell-culture medium is not usually handy
D. cell-culture medium is more expensive

Hope to hear from you.(省略了主语I)
2.省略主语和谓语。这种现象在交际用语当中出现较多。如:
Feeling better today 芽(省略了主语和谓语Are you)
二、并列句中的省略。
在并列句中,相同的成分如主语、谓语、宾语等均可省略。如:

三、复合句中的省略。

2.状语从句中的省略。

We’ll go to help you if (it is) necessary.
Had I time (=If I had time), I would come.
I’ll go, should it be necessary (=if it should be necessary).
3.宾语从句中的省略。
如果宾语从句中的谓语动词与主句的谓语动词相同,可将从句中的动词省略。如:
We will do what we can (do) to help you.
四、不定式的省略。
在不定式结构中,为了避免重复,常省略不定式符号to后的实义动词。
1. 在glad, ready, happy 等形容词后常可省略不定式符号to后的实义动词。如:
—　Would you like to go with us
　　　—　I’m glad to (go), but I have to finish my homework.
2. 在used to, ought to, have to, would like/love to, wish to, hope to, be going to 等结构中,常可省略不定式符号to后的实义动词。如:

How does television affect our lives？ It can be helpful to those who carefully choose the programs that they watch and harmful to those who watch it too much.
In China， many people worry that children and young people are watching too much television. A survey of 300 youngsters in Shanghai last year showed that， on average， they spent half of their free time， that is two and a half hours watching television. And two-thirds of an hour reading stories. Another survey of school-age children in Wuhan found that half of them said they read very little.
During the Barcelona Olympic Games， tens of millions of Chinese viewers stayed up late to watch the opening ceremonies and other programs. And television is quickly taking the place of printed material as the major source of news for most Chinese. A recent survey in Beijing found that 63% of those surveyed got their news from television through CCTV and TV stations.

One possible version：
Nowadays， knowledge is becoming more and more important with the development of society， so many parents hope the children to be useful or successful. They spare no effort to offer their children as good a chance as possible： They not only send them abroad for further education and to private schools at great expenses， but also hire personal teachers. They buy all kinds of learning materials， computers and so on. But no matter what their parents do for the children， what becomes of the children？ Some of them really make it， but most of them want to enjoy and relax themselves and at last they are really disappointing！
This proves the meaning of the saying “You can lead a horse to water， but you can’t make it drink.” That is to say： You can give someone all the opportuUnit 9 课文重难点解析

The modern age is an age of electricity. People are so used to electric lights， radios， televisions， and telephones that it is hard to imagine what life would be like without them. When there is a power failure， people move about in dim candlelight， cars hesitate in the streets because there are no traffic lights to guide them， and food goes bad in silent refrigerators.
Yet people began to understand how electricity works only a little more than two centuries ago. Nature has in fact been experimenting in this field for millions of years. Scientists are discovering more and more that the living world may hold many interesting secrets of electricity that could benefit humanity.
All living cells send out tiny pulses（脉冲） of electricity. As the heart beats， it sends out pulses that can be measured and recorded on the surface of the body. When the pulses are recorded， they form an electrocardiogram（心电图）， which a doctor can study to determine how well the heart is working. The brain， too， sends out brain waves of electricity， which can be recorded in an electroencephalogram. The electric currents generated by most living cells are very small　—　often so small that sensitive instruments are needed to record them. But in some animals， certain muscle cells have become so specialized as electrical generators（发电机） that they do not work as muscle cells at all. When large numbers of these cells are linked together， the effect can be astonishing.
The electric eel（电鳗） is an amazing living storage battery. It can send a jolt of as much as eight hundred volts of electricity through the water in which it lives. （An electric house current is only one hundred twenty volts.） As many as four- fifths of all the cells in the electric eel’s body are specialized for generating electricity， and the strength of the shock it can deliver equals the length of its body.
59.What is the main idea of this passage
A. Electric eels are potentially dangerous.
B. Biology and electricity appear to be closely related.
C. People would be at a loss without electricity.
D. Scientists still have much to discover about electricity.
60.The author mentions all of the following as results of a power failure EXCEPT ______.
A. refrigerated food items may go bad
B. traffic lights do not work
C. people must rely on candlelight
D. elevators do not function
61.Why does the author mention electric eels
A. To warn the reader to stay away from them.
B. To compare their voltage to that used in houses.
C. To give an example of a living electrical generator.
D. To describe a new source of electrical power.
62.How many volts of electricity can an electric eel send out
A. 1，000. B. 800. C. 200. D. 120.
63.It can be inferred from the passage that the longer an eel is， the ______.
A. more beneficial it will be to science
B. more powerful its electrical charge will be
C. easier it will be to find
D. tougher it will be to eat
C
The opera house in Santa Fe， New Mexico， is one of the most beautiful in the United States. It is small and open， with one roof over the stage where singers perform and another roof over part of the audience. This opera house in the mountains is one of the best in the country. It may seem surprising because performances are only given during seven weeks in the summer， and because Santa Fe is a very small city.
One reason why the Santa Fe Opera is so good is that it attracts many excellent young singers. They all hope to sing in famous opera houses like Metropolitan in New York someday， and they work hard to become well-known during the summer. The musicians and directors are experts who come from the best orchestras （管弦乐队） and operas in the country during their vacations. They enjoy working there because they like to live in Santa Fe， which is near both the mountains and the desert. It is very beautiful there in the summer.
The state government of New Mexico advertises the Santa Fe Opera in newspapers all over the country， and a great many tourists come to New Mexico because of the opera. Still， most of the audience do come to Santa Fe and other nearby cities， and all the seats in the theater are sold out for every show.
　 There is only one thing that some people do not like about the Santa Fe Opera， and that is the cold weather. Because the theater is open， performances can’t start before it gets dark at nine o’clock in the evening， and then the mountain air becomes very cool. Sometimes people complain about the cold air， but because the operas are good， these people come back again — wearing warm coats.
64.This passage mainly introduces ______.
A. a mountain city B. young singers
C. an opera house D. the tourism in Santa Fe
65.Young singers come to perform in Santa Fe Opera because ______.
A. the music quality is high
B. they enjoy the climate there
C. they want to be famous
D. they like the scenery there
66.It seems surprising that Santa Fe becomes famous because ______.
A. it is only a very small place
B. it is between the mountains and desert
C. all the seats are sold out for every show
D. musicians there are from the best orchestras
67.From the passage， we can learn that ______.
A. the opera house is open without any roofs
B. musicians always spend vacations in Santa Fe
C. the government advertises to attract more musicians
D. performances are held in Santa Fe only after sunset

In Britain today， is it possible to tell a person’s class just by looking at him Physical details alone tell us about health， diet and type of work done. A hundred years ago the working class very often looked unhealthy， small and were either too thin or too fat. The upper classes were often tall， sporting types who were used to a good diet and looked healthy. Today living and working conditions have improved， and such descriptions would no longer be so true. People are taller now than a hundred years ago. Everyone in Britain today is able to have free medicine， a good diet， acceptable working conditions and enough rest and leisure.
The clothes people choose to wear， however， do provide information about their backgrounds. Expensive clothes look expensive and show their wearer is rich. Clothes can provide other clues(线索) as well. The upper classes appear to be less interested in fashion and wear good quality clothes in non-bright colors， made of natural material like wool， leather or cotton. Lower working class people often choose clothes in bright colors， made of man-made material. A sociological(社会学的)　explanation for this would be that color and interest are missing from their lives， and therefore any opportunity to introduce this is taken.
　　Clothes are available at a price within most people’s reach. New clothes make the wearer feel good， and show some degree of wealth to the outside world. Today it is the younger people who spend most money on clothes. Fashion is no longer for the upper classes and the rich. Young people from all social classes spend a lot of money on clothes. Some new fashions are started by the lower working class people who want to look different and feel important. They want people to look at them.
72.In the past， one’s appearance could NOT tell us about his ______.
A. health B. diet
C. occupation D. habit
73.The clothes people choose to wear can tell us about their ______.
A. education B. richness
C. backgrounds D. hobby
74.The lower working class people start the new fashion because ______.
A. they want to draw the attention of other people
B. they want to look different and healthy
C. they want to show their wealth
D. they want to show their taste
75.Which of the following statements is NOT true
A. Expensive clothes look expensive and show the wearer is rich.
B. The lower working class people prefer clothes in bright colors because they lack colors in their lives.
C. Today， it is still the upper class people who spend most money on clothes.
D. Today， fashion is no longer for the upper classes and the rich.

John liked to wear his hair very long. Some of his friends thought that it looked like a girl’s hair, but they never made jokes about it, because John was a big, strong young man, and he did not like jokes about his hair.
John always went to the barber’s twice a month to have his hair cut and washed. One day the barber said to him. “Wow, why don’t you let me cut most of this hair off and make your head clean Nobody would recognize you if I did that, I am sure.”
John said nothing for a few seconds, and then he said, “Perhaps you are right — but I am sure that nobody would recognize you either if you did that to my hair.”

Besides, a great number of people enjoy themselves traveling and more people can afford and will go abroad to travel with the increase of income. By and by, cars and computers have made their way into millions of homes. With China’s economy developing quickly, more and more foreign companies have come to make an investment here.

　 　 Memory， they say， is a matter of practice and exercise. If you have the wish and really make a conscious （有意识的） effort， then you can quite easily improve your ability to remember things. But even if you are successful， there are times when your memory seems to play tricks on you.
Sometimes you remember things that really did not happen. One morning last week， for example， I got up and found that I had left the front door unlocked all night， yet I clearly remembered locking it carefully the night before.
Memory “tricks” work the other way as well. Once in a while you remember not doing something and then find out that you did. One day last month， for example， I was sitting in a barbershop（ 理发店） waiting for my turn to get a haircut， and suddenly I realized that I had got a haircut two days before at the barbershop across the street from my office.
　　 We always seem to find something funny and interesting in incidents（事件）　caused by people’s forgetfulness or absent-mindedness. Stories about absent-minded professors have been told for years. Unfortunately， however， absent-mindedness is not always funny. There are times when “tricks”　of our memory can cause us great trouble.
56.If you want to have a good memory， _____.
A. you should ask someone else to help you to remember things
B. you should make a conscious effort to practice and exercise
C. you should never stop learning
D. you should try hard to remember things
57.In the passage， the writer seems to tell us _____.
A. forgetting things is serious and dangerous
B. always forgetting things is understandable
C. forgetting things at times is natural
D. the ways to protect yourself from memory “tricks”
58.The best title for this passage is“_____”.
A. How to Get a Good Memory
B. Tricks’ of Memory
C. The Danger of Forgetfulness and Absent-mindedness
D. Get Rid of Absent-mindedness

No country in the world has more daily newspapers than the USA. There are almost 2，000 of them， as compared with 180 in Japan， 164 in Argentina and 111 in Britain. The quality of some American papers is extremely high and their views are quoted all over the world. Famous dailies like the Washington Post or the New York Times have a powerful influence all over the country. However， they are not national newspapers in the sense that The Times is in Britain or Le Monde is in France， since each American city has its own daily newspaper. The best of these present detailed description of national and international news， but many tend to limit themselves to state or city news.
Like the press in most other countries， American newspapers range from the “sensational” which feature crime and gossip(闲谈)， to the “serious”， which focus on factual news and the analysis of world events. But with few exceptions， American newspapers try to entertain as well as give information， for they have to compete with the attraction of television.
　　　Just as American newspapers satisfy all tastes， so do they also try to attract readers of all political parties. A few newspapers support extremist(极端主义的) groups on the far right and on the far left， but most daily newspapers try to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are moderate（中立的）. Many of these papers print columns by well-known journalists of different political and social views， in order to present a balanced picture.
　　　As in other countries， American newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible， but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once courageously exposed political scandals（丑闻） or crimes， for instance， the Watergate Affair（水门事件）. The Newspapers drew the attention of the public to the horrors of the Vietnam War.
59.There are fewer national newspapers in _____.
　　　　A. Britain than in the USA.
　　　　B. France than in Britain
　　　　C. the USA than in Britain or France
　　　　D. France than in the USA or Britain
60.Most American newspapers try hard to entertain their readers because _____.
A. they have to keep up a good relation with them
B. they have to compete with television
C. they have to write about crime and gossip
D. they have to give factual news in an interesting way
61.Many American newspapers attract readers of different political preference by _____.
A. supporting extremist groups from time to time
B. inviting middle-of-the-road Americans to write articles for them
C. avoiding carrying articles about extremists
D. printing articles representing different political viewpoints
62.The passage is mainly about _____.
A. the characteristics of American newspapers
B. the development of American newspapers
C. the functions of American newspapers
D. the advantages and disadvantages of American newspapers

Good morning and welcome to the BBC news special. Have you ever heard of a four-year-old college student？ But this is true of Nicholas MacMahon, who is now studying at college because he is too clever for school.
　 Nicholas spoke well before he was one. At eighteen months he took telephone messages for his parents. At two he began to learn French. The strange thing about Nicholas is that he taught himself to read before he could speak.
His parents knew immediately that he could read. When he could speak, he corrected their spelling. He tried two different schools, but he was bored and unhappy and his parents decided that he couldn’t stay there. His teachers did not have enough time to prepare special lessons for Nicholas. The MacMahons had no idea what to do with him. Then the West London Institute offered to help. Nicholas spends some of his time there, and also studies at home. He reads the newspaper every day, and he can play the violin well. He doesn’t have any social life in the school. Nicholas is a clever child and the teachers want to help him in every way.

Now I’d like to tell you something about my language learning. OK， first of all， I place myself in the language， the language that I want to learn. Uh， for example， I watch a film in that language， which forces me to learn words and expressions. Uh， you can watch TV news reports， or listen to radio reports. You know， anything is really helpful as long as you can hear the language regularly.
Next， I keep a situational notebook. For example， in a restaurant， you use a certain word or an expression over and over again. So if you can remember just a particular one in each situation， you can immediately speak that language and have more trust in your ability. In this way you get more out of learning the language， I think.

One possible Version：
Some people hold that we should put developing the economy in the first place. Only by further balancing and developing our economy can we get rid of poverty and gain the overall development of the country. Otherwise， many people， especially in rural areas， may live in poverty and their children may drop out of school because they could not afford education.
On the other hand， many people insist that environmental protection should be a top task. They hold that it is the rapid and unrestricted development of economy that leads to the present situation in which most parts of the world are polluted. If the problem is left unsolved， someday we may not survive on this planet， let alone develop our economy.
In my opinion， both economy and environmental protection are our urgent tasks at hand. Without economic development， we would remain backward. And without environmental protection， we would lose our homes.Unit 5 The British Isles单元测试题

These days a green building means more than just the color of the paint. Green building can also refer to environmentally friendly houses， factories， and offices.
Green building means “reducing the impact (影响)　of the building on the land”， Taryn Holowka of the US Green Building Council in Washington， D.C.， said.
According to Holowka， buildings account for(占了)65 percent of total US electricity use.
But green buildings can reduce energy and water use. Also， the buildings are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways， so that people can drive their cars less. That could be good for the environment， because cars use lots of gas and give off pollution. Green buildings are often built on developed land， so that the buildings don’t destroy forests.
　 Marty Dettling is a project manager for a building that put these ideas into action. The Solaire has been called the country’s first green high-rise building. According to Dettling， “We’ve reduced energy use by one-third and our water by 50 percent.”
　 The Solaire cuts energy in part by using solar power. “On the face of the building we have solar panels which change the sun’s energy into electricity，” Dettling explained.
The Solaire also has lights that automatically turn off when people leave the room. In addition， the building has lots of windows， allowing people to use the sun for light during the day. The Solaire cuts water by reusing it.
Not everyone is eager to move into a green building， however. Some people think that things like solar panels cost more money than traditional energy sources. Anyhow， Holowka said， “It’s going to be big.”
(2004浙江高考试题 B)
60.In the second paragraph， the underlined words “the building” most probably refer to “______”.
A. an ordinary building
B. an energy-saving building
C. a green-colored building
D. a building in Washington，D.C.
61.A green building is often built on an area of land ______.
A. which has thick forests around
B. which has already been used for buildings
C. where people of high income live
D. where traveling around by car is most convenient
62.When Holowka says in the last paragraph， “It’s going to be big”， she means that green buildings_______.
A. will be more comfortable
B. will become popular in the future
C. will be more environmentally friendly
D. will take the place of traditional buildings
63.What is the main subject discussed in the text？
A. Dettling designed the first green building in the US.
B. Energy shortage calls for buildings of new design.
C. Green buildings help save environment.
D. The Solaire serves as a model of high buildings.

London Underground
The world’s first subway was built in London in 1863. At the time， the government was looking for a way to reduce traffic problems in the city of London. The poor areas of the city were so crowded with people that it was almost impossible for horse carriages to get through. The city officials were interested in trying to make it possible for workers to live outside of London and travel easily to work each day. If people had a cheap and convenient way that they could depend on to go to and from work， they would relocate their homes outside of the city. This would help ease(减轻) the pressure of too many people living in the poor parts of London. From these problems， the idea of the London Underground， the first subway system， was born.
The plans for building the Underground met with several problems and delays， but the fast track was finally opened in January 1863. A steam train pulled the cars along the fast underground track which was 6 kilometers (3.7 miles) long. About 30，000 people got on the subway the first day. Riders were treated to comfortable seats (standing up while the train was moving was not allowed)， and pleasant decorations inside each of the cars. However， the smoke from the engine soon filled the air in the tunnels with ash and soot(煤灰)， as well as chemical gases. Fans had to be put in the tunnels later to keep the air clean enough for people to breathe. Even with its problems， riding in the Underground did catch on. It carried 9 million riders in its first year.
67.What led the British government to build the London Underground？
A. Traffic jams and pollution.
B. Population and pollution.
C. Overcrowding and traffic jams.
D. The poverty and subway problems.
68.How did the London Underground solve the smoke problem？
A. It made the tunnels larger.
B. It put fans in the tunnels.
C. It cleaned the chemical gases in the tunnels.
D. It reduced the number of passengers riding in the train.
69.The underlined phrase “catch on” most probably means “______”.
A. be troublesome
B. become popular and fashionable
C. keep up with
D. seize
70.Which of the following is TRUE？
A. To relocate the workers’ homes outside London，the government built the subway.
B. There were so many problems and delays that in 18th century the first subway opened.
C. The subway greatly eased the pressure of traffic.
D. There were not enough seats for the passengers the first day the subway opened.
71.It seems that the writer is going to talk about ______
in the next paragraph.
A. more problems with subways
B. subways around the world later on
C. the history and culture of London
D. the Beijing subway

Sometimes， something that is considered to be negative turns out to be an advantage on the job. Though he is only l8 years old and blind， Suleyman Gokylgit is among the top computer technicians and programmers at InteliData Technologies Corp.， a large software company with several offices across the United States.
“After our company united with another one last October， two different computer networks were driving us crazy，” recalls Douglas Braun， the InteliData president. “We couldn’t even send e-mail to each other.” In three weeks Mr Gokylgit created the software needed to connect the two networks. “None of the company’s 350 other employees could have done the job in three months，” says Mr Braun. “Suleyman can ‘see’ into the heart of the computer.”
　　Mr Gokylgit’s gift， as Mr Braun calls it， is an unusual ability to form an idea of the inside of a machine. “The computer permits me to reach out into the world and do almost anything I want to do，” says Mr Gokylgit.
The young programmer is at home with hardware as well， thanks partly to a highly developed sense of touch. Mitzi Nowakowski， an office manager at InteliData， remembers how he easily disconnected and reconnected their computer systems during a move last year. “Through feel， Suleyman can find the position of connectors， pins and wires much faster than most other people with sight，” she says.
　　Much of the student programmer’s speed comes from his ability not to be interrupted while at the computer. When typing， he listens carefully to the synthesizer(合成器). His long， thin fingers fly over the keyboard. “Nothing seems to shake his attention，” says Mrs Nowakowski， his boss.
　　Mr Gokylgit is the only company employee who is available 24 hours a day. “We consider him our top problem solver，” says Mr Braun.
72.According to Mr Braun， Suleyman ______.
A. can work wonders on computer
B. is the best technician in the world
C. has done a hard job in three months
D. has united InteliData Technologies Corp. with another computer company
73.The underlined part “is at home with hardware”means “______”.
A. is good at dealing with computer hardware
B. is fond of computer hardware
C. works with computer hardware at home
D. feels comfortable when working with computer hardware
74.Suleyman was quick while at the computer mostly because of ______.
A. his blindness
B. his attention on the synthesizer
C. his long， thin fingers
D. his ability not to be interrupted
75.What does the text mainly tell us？
A. Computer technicians are more likely to be gifted.
B. One’s disadvantages may prove to be advantages.
C. The disabled can also play an important role in society.
D. Top computer scientists have unusual abilities to form ideas of computers.

非谓语动词主要包括-ing形式、过去分词和不定式。它们不能在句子中作谓语,而是担任其它语法功能。它们不受句子中主语的人称和数的影响。非谓语动词具有动词特征(有时态和语态的变化形式),又具有名词、形容词或副词的特征(在句中作主语、定语或状语等)。 下面就其作定语的常见考点进行分类和归纳。
一、-ing形式作定语
　　-ing 形式在句中做定语时有两种情况。
　1. -ing 形式和所修饰的名词在逻辑上有主谓关系,表示这个名词(人或物)的动作或状态,相当于一个定语从句。如:
　　These dancing girls (= these girls who are dancing) are from my class.
　　正在跳舞的这些女孩是我班上的。
　　We should show respect for the working people (= the people who work).
　　我们应该尊重劳动人民。
　　At 11 o’clock， please find the waiting bus (the bus which is waiting) at the entrance.
　　十一点钟时,请在入口处找等候的公共汽车。
注意:
①表示现在(或当时)的状态,变为定语从句时常用一般时态。
The temple standing (=which/that stands) on the top of the hill was built in the Ming Dynasty.
坐落在山顶上的那个寺庙建于明朝。
②表示正在进行的动作,变为定语从句时要用进行时态。
Do you see the woman talking to (=who/that is talking to) the secretary？
你看见那位和秘书谈话的妇女了吗
The song being broadcast (=which/that is being broadcast) is very popular with the young students.
正在播放的那首歌深受青年学生的欢迎。
③-ing形式作定语时，它所表示的动作是正在进行或与谓语动词所表示的动作几乎同时发生。如果两个动作有先有后,一般不用-ing形式作定语,这时应用定语从句。
Those who have finished their work can go home now.
完成工作的那些人现在可以回家了。
④being不能单独用作定语。
Anyone who is fit for (不用being fit for) this job can sign your name here.
任何能胜任这项工作的人都可以在这里签名。
⑤-ing形式的完成式一般不能用作定语,除非为非
限制性的后置定语。
The manager wasn’t angry with the man who had been so rude. (不用having been so rude)
经理并不为这个人的粗鲁而生气。
The problem， having been discussed for many years， has now been solved.
这个讨论多年的问题现在已经解决了。
2. -ing 形式和它所修饰的名词在逻辑上没有主谓关系,表示这个名词的某种用途和性能,作“供;作……之用”解。如:
There is a swimming pool (= a pool for swimming) in our school.
我们学校有座游泳池。
Can you find me a bathing cap (= a cap for bathing)？
你能给我找个浴帽吗
We should do something to improve our living conditions (=conditions for living).
我们应该做些事情来改善我们的生活条件。
二、过去分词作定语
1.过去分词所表示的动作在谓语动词所表示的动作之前发生,并且表被动。
A letter posted this morning will probably reach her tomorrow.
明天她可能会收到今早寄出的信。
2. 没有一定的时间性,仅表示被动。
I don’t like to see the letter written in pencil.
我不喜欢看用铅笔写的信。
3. 表示已经完成的动作,不表示被动,动词通常为不及物动词。
the risen sun = the sun which has risen
已升起的太阳
the fallen leaves = the leaves which have fallen
落叶
4.如过去分词作定语时所表示的动作正在发生,其结构为being done。
The question being discussed is important.
现在正在讨论的问题很重要。
三、动词不定式作定语
1. 表示将要发生的动作。
He has no wish to see her. (表主动)
他并不想见她。
The power station to be built next year will be of great value to the people. (表被动)
明年将修建的发电站将对人们有利。
2. 在序数词、形容词最高级、 the first， the last， the only 等修饰的名词后作定语。
He loves his students. He is always the first to come and the last to leave.
他爱他的学生。他总是第一个来最后一个走。
3. 若作定语的不定式是不及物动词,或者及物动词与被修饰的词不能构成动宾关系时,则不定式动词后须加上适当的介词。
He is looking for a room to live in.
他正在找房子住。
Can you lend me your pencil to write with？
能借你的铅笔用一下吗
4. 一个带有宾语的动词不定式短语作定语修饰名词时,为了使句意完整,须加一个相应的介词。
When I handed the report to John， he said that Tom was the person to send it to.
当我把报告交给约翰时,他说我应该把报告交给汤姆。

A
Apple a day may poison children
Children who eat an apple or pear a day may be exceeding(超过) the pesticide(杀虫剂) safety limit because of remains on the fruit， according to research.
Using data of the British Department of Environment on pesticides on fruit collected from supermarkets，scientists thought that each day some children would get a poisonous level of pesticides.
The research， published on Sunday， says the government repeatedly claims that the levels of pesticide are safe because，instead of measuring individual apples， researchers buy 10， crush them and take an average reading to see if they are safe. This is the internationally agreed method of checking remains.
But government figures show that the pesticide is not averagely spread across the batch(一批)， and one or two apples could contain 90% or more of the pesticide in the batch.
It used mathematical modeling to measure exposure(暴露) to pesticides for children aged between 18 months and four years old. The pesticides involved can destroy children’s hormones and some are suspected(怀疑) of causing cancer.
The good news for British fruit growers is that samples grown in this country had lower residue level than imported fruit， so buying home-produced fruit will reduce the danger， said Emily Diamand， one of the Earth’s senior food researchers and one of the authors of the report.
56. The reason why “Apple a day may poison children” is that ______.
A. there are some pests in the apple
B. children would get a poisonous level of pesticides because of the remains
on the apple
C. there are always more pesticides on the apples　produced in Britain
D.　the apple is too hard for children to eat
57. The internationally agreed method of checking　remains is to buy ______.
A. two apples，crush them and take an average reading to see if they are safe
B. five apples，crush them and test to see if they are　safe
C. ten apples，crush them and take an average　reading to see if they are safe
D. eighty apples， and then test them by crushing
58. The underlined word “residue” can be replaced by ______.
A. remains B. pesticide
C. poison D. medicine
59. Which of the following is NOT true？
A. The remains of the pesticides can do harm to the children’s health.
B. The remains of the pesticides can do harm to the children’s hormones.
C. Some remains of the pesticides are suspected of causing cancer.
D. For safety，we’d better not import apples from Britain.
B
We often think of future. We often wonder what the world would be like in a hundred years’ time.
Think of space， perhaps a permanent(永久的) station on the moon will have been set up. Perhaps people will be able to visit the moon as tourists. Cheap rockets for space travel will have been developed， permitting long journeys throughout the solar system(太阳系). When that time comes， people will be taking holidays in space and visiting other planets. Great progress will have been made in medicine， too. Perhaps a cure will have been discovered for the most terrible of all diseases　—　cancer. Pollution is a problem we must solve. In a hundred years’ time it will have been controlled.
All the world will have been developed — even Antarctica. There will be large cities in Antarctica. We already have supersonic(超音速的) flight， but in a hundred years’ time we will have supersonic land travel as well.
We will have used up most of earth’s land to build our cities， so floating cities will have been built. The Japanese already have plans for cities of this kind. And there will be cities under the sea. The first of these will have been completed.
60. We will have developed ______ in a hundred years’　time， permitting long journeys all over the solar system.
A. cheap rockets for space travel B. a plane

Some people are pessimistic(悲观的) when they think about the future. They say that，a hundred years from now， we will have used most of the earth’s resources. We will have polluted our seas badly，and be unable to eat fish from them. We will have made the air so dirty that we will need to wear masks. The world’s population will have doubled， and we will have used all the countryside for housing; there will be no farmland left.
Other people believe that Man adapts very easily. They have a different idea of the future. How， in their views，will people be living in a hundred years’ time？
One architect believes that Man will move off the land. He suggests that the city of the future will be a huge， pyramid-shaped building， which will be floating on the surface of the sea. About 5，000 families will be living there，and the building will contain shops and schools as well as homes. By living on the sea，we will give the farmers more land to grow crops.
As for oil，people will no longer need it: we will be heating our homes with power from the sun. And we will not be short of minerals， because there are plenty under our oceans. At the moment， we do not have the technology to get them out. But， in a hundred years’ time， the optimists say， the new sea cities will be using these resources.
What will be in the shops in the year 3000？ What will people be wearing？ How will people be traveling？
Scientists who make predictions about the future suggest that， by the year 3000， shops will no longer puters will have replaced them; and people will order goods from home.
People will be wearing very light， thin clothes. By this time， scientists will have invented a fabric that keeps us cool in hot weather and warm in cold weather.
As for travel， the experts say that most people will be using public transport. Electric cars will be traveling through the streets day and night. Anybody will be able to stop one and use it.
An interesting picture. Unfortunately， we will not be there to see if these predictions come true.
68. Pessimists believe that in the future ______.
A. the seas and oceans will be full of houses
B. we’ll have used up all the resources
C. we will not have enough fish to eat from the seas
D. we will have polluted the air so badlly that it will　be impossible for us to breath
69. Optimists suggest that ______.
A. all the land will be too polluted to be cropped on
B. pyramids will be the most commonly-used houses
C. people will be using the power from the sun instead of oil
D. we will be short of materials even though we get　them from under the oceans
70. Scientists have made the predictions EXCEPT
______.
A. electric cars will be going along the streets continuously
B. the resources under the oceans will never be used up
C. people will order from home
D. people won’t suffer from cold any longer

It was early morning. Peter Corbett helped Mark Wellman out of his wheelchair and onto the ground. They stood before El Capitan， a huge rock almost three-quarters of a mile high in California’s beautiful Yosemite Valley. It had been Mark’s dream to climb El Capitan as long as he could remember. But how could a person without the use of his legs hope to try to climb it？
Mark knew he couldn’t finish the climb alone， but his friend Peter， an expert rock climber， would be there to lend a helping hand. He and Mark thought that it would take seven days to reach the top.
Peter climbed about 100 feet up and hammered a piton(岩钉) into the rock. Fastening(扎牢) one end of a 165-foot rope to the piton， he let the other end of the rope fall down. Mark caught the rope and fastened it to his belt with a special tool. This tool would allow Mark to move upward， but would prevent him from falling even as much as a single inch. He next reached above his head and fastened a T-bar to the rope， using the same kind of tool.
Mark took a deep breath， pushed the T-bar up almost as far as his arms could reach， and began the first of the 7，000 pull-ups needed to reach the top. High above， Peter let out a cheer， “You’re on your way.”
Seven years before， at the age of twenty-one， he had fallen while climbing mountain， injuring his backbone. The fall cost him the use of his legs， but he never lost his love of adventure or his joyful spirit.
For the first four days the two men progressed steadily(稳定地) upward without accident. But on the fifth day， a strong hot wind began to blow， and as time went by， it became stronger and stronger， causing Mark to sway violently on his rope. But Mark kept on determinedly pushing up the T-bar and pulling himself up. In spite of that， he had to admit(承认) that he felt a lot better when the wind finally died down and his body touched solid rock again.
It took them one day more than they had expected， but on July 26 at 1:45 in the afternoon， the crowd of people waiting on the top went wild with joy as the two heads appeared. Mark Wellman showned that if you set your heart and mind on a goal， no wall is too high，no dream impossible.
71. What had Mark Wellman long hoped to do？
　A. To climb El Capitan.
　　B. To be the first to climb El Capitan.

　B. He hammered pitons into the rock so that he had　something to hold on
to.
C. He held on to the T-bar and Peter pulled him up.
D. He pulled himself up using a T-bar and a special　tool.
73. How did Mark lose the use of his legs？
A. He lost his footing and fell from the side of a　mountain.
B. He fell during his second attempt on El Capitan.
C. His legs were broken by falling rocks.
D. While working out in the gym， he injured his backbone.
74. What was the worst problem Mark had during the　climb？
A. He struck against the rock and hurt his arms.
B. A strong wind caused him to sway violently on his rope.
C. He kept falling several inches.
D. While swaying in space， he became terrified.
75. How did Mark deal with difficulties during the climb？

My job as a nurse at Brown Hospital was looking after aged patients and acting as an assistant to Dr Smith. This was my most important duty, because Dr Smith, though an excellent doctor, was often absent-minded. His memory as a doctor was excellent. He never forgot a case. But on the other hand, he couldn’t remember the day of the week, whether he had come in his overcoat, what he was supposed to be doing in the afternoon, or if he had already had lunch.

One day, my friend and I were walking along the street when we saw a car knock a girl off her bicycle. We rushed to help her. We found her leg bleeding badly. I had learned some knowledge about first aid before, so we left her where she was. Quickly we found a clean handkerchief and pressed it onto the bleeding point and held it there. Then my friend went to telephone the First Aid Center. We were staying with the girl until the doctors came.Unit 6听力材料及参考答案

It was 2:05 in the afternoon. When I entered the classroom， I was surprised to see a video camera. Our class teacher was operating the camera， and my classmates were all talking among themselves slowly. Most of us had never been in front of a video camera before， so we were quite nervous. However， I had once faced one at home; my uncle was shooting when we were celebrating my sister’s birthday. But this was completely different. We had to talk about our articles as if we were reading news on TV. The funny thing was that every time I tried to face the camera and talk about my article， I forgot the article and couldn’t resist looking down at it. It was a completely different experience for me， thanks to our class teacher.

My Future Hometown
Have you ever dreamed of your future hometown？ Is it much better or much worse than today’s？ Here is what I expect my hometown to be in the near future.
It’s a green garden with lots of trees， flowers and grasses all round as well as new houses and tall buildings. Born and brought up here， you can always hear birds singing， watch birds flying without going out of your doorstep. Sometimes， it’s hard for you to tell the old trees from the buildings　—　some of my neighbours say， there are houses where there are trees and flowers. This is just my hometown， my paradise.
Maybe it’s just a dream， but I’m sure it will come true sooner or later.Unit3 单元测试题

　 Last week， millions of Chinese viewers tuned in to CCTV 5 to watch two teams of men in colourful clothing chase a ball around a field.
But the New England Patriots(爱国者队) and Carolina Panthers(黑豹队) were not playing soccer — they were competing for American football’s greatest prize， the Super Bowl.
The first recorded game of American football was played between a Canadian and an American university more than 100 years ago， using a mixture of soccer and rugby(英式橄榄球) rules. The Super Bowl itself was first contested in 1967， but 2004 was the first time the game reached Chinese TV screens.
American football is very popular because it exhibits a number of athletic skills， such as running，jumping， catching， throwing and kicking. There is also hitting and tackling， which appears violent(激烈的)sometimes！
The best-known league in the United States is the National Football League (NFL)， which is made up of 30 teams， and the Super Bowl is its championship game. One of the most famous players is New England star Tom Brady， who was named the Most Valuable Player as his team won the Super Bowl last week. Brady plays in the quarterback position， and is the player responsible for throwing the ball to his teammates.
Now the Super Bowl has arrived in China， maybe the game will become just as popular as basketball or soccer！
56.In the first paragraph， the underlined word “chase” means “______”.
A. to be followed by B. to run after
C. to catch D. to throw
57.From this passage we can see that _______.
A. CCTV has never broadcast Super Bowl before
B. The Super Bowl contest began more than a century ago
C. the Chinese people didn’t watch Super Bowl contest until 2004
D. football game first began in 1967
58.American football is popular because ______.
A. it is easy to play
B. it shows many athletic skills
C. it is very violent all the time
D. it is not expensive
59.Which of the following is NOT true
A. NFL consists of thirty teams.
B. Tom Brady serves in New England.
C. Super Bowl is the greatest football prize in the world.
D. Super Bowl will begin in Beijing next week.
B
Until the construction of the Sears tower in Chicago and the World Trade Center in lower Manhattan， the Empire State Building was for 40 years the tallest building in the world， standing 102 stories and 1，454 feet tall， including a 222 feet television antenna(天线).
The unusual structure of the Empire State Building， built in just 410 days during the depths of the Depression(萧条时期)， was planned during the boom(繁荣)years of the 1920s and completed in May 1931. It was the product of a competition between Walter Chrysler of Chrysler Corp. and John Jakob Raskob， founder of General Motors， to see who could build the tallest building.
The structure itself weighs 365，000 tons， less than the weight of the earth that was dug out to build it. Time has shown it to be durable(耐久的) but when it was first opened to the world， the public was worried about the stability of what was then the tallest building ever seen.
A number of curious events have contributed to this famous building， including that an Army Air Corps B-25 bomber plane crashed into the 79th floor on a foggy day in July 1945 at the end of World War II， killing 14 people.
The television antenna was added in 1951. The top 32 floors of the building are given light during the evenings. There is an observatory(瞭望台) on 86th floor which gives a 50-mile view of the city and surrounding countryside， touching on parts of four states when the weather is fine. There is also a glass-enclosed observatory on the 102nd floor. It cost 40，000，000 dollars to build the Empire State Building.
60.The construction of the Empire State Building started in ______.
A. 1929 B. 1931 C. 1920 D. 1930
61.The writer’s purpose in writing this text is to ______.
A. share some information about the Empire State Building
B. tell readers to visit the Empire State Building
C. describe the events happening to the Empire State Building
D. introduce the tallest buildings in the world
62.According to the text， the Empire State Building ______.
A. is the tallest building in the world
B. is not so tall as the Sears tower and the World Trade Center
C. lasted more than two years
D. is newer than the Sears tower and the World Trade Center
63.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage
A. The building was as weighty as the earth that was dug out for the construction.
B. Facts have proved that the Empire State Building remains the tallest building in the USA.
C. From the observatory on 86th floor of the building you can get a beautiful 50-mile view in a clear day.
D. The Empire State Building was built to make people have a better view of the city.
64.What does the underlined word “stability” mean
A. structure B. construction
C. weight D. firmness
C

When we say that Cambridge is a university town， we do not mean just that it is a town with a university in it. London and Liverpool have universities， but we do not call them university towns. A university town is one where there is no clear separation between the university buildings and the rest of the city. The university is not just one part of the town. It is all over the town. The heart of Cambridge has its shops， market-places and so on， but most of it is university-colleges， libraries， clubs and other places for university staff and students. Students fill the shops， cafes， banks， and churches， making these as well part of the university.
The town was there first. Two Roman roads crossed there， and there are signs of building before Romantimes(earlier than 43 AD). Trouble in Oxford in 1209 caused some students and their teachers to move. Cambridge became a center of learning， and the authority of the head of the university was recognized by the king in 1226.
At that time many of the students were very young (about fifteen)， and many of the teachers were not more than twenty-one. At first they found lodgings(寓所) where they could， but many students were too poor to afford lodgings. Colleges were opened so that students could live cheaply. This was the beginning of the college system which has continued at Cambridge up to the present day.
The colleges were built with money from kings， queens， religious houses， or other sources. Today there are nearly thirty colleges. The newest are University College， founded in 1956， and Clare Hall， founded in 1966， both for graduates. Very few students can now live in college for the whole of their course； the number is too great. Many of them live in lodgings at first and move into college for their final year.
With about 8，250 undergraduates and over 2，000 postgraduates， the city is a busy place. Don’t try to drive through Cambridge during the five minutes between lectures. If you are in Cambridge any morning at five minutes to the hour (the time lectures start)， you know you are in a university town. Stop in some safe place and wait.
68.What’s the most important in the definition of a university town is that ______.
A. there is no clear separation between the university buildings and the rest of the city
B. there are plenty of universities in the city
C. the university takes up most of the city area
D. most people in the city have university education
69.The history of Cambridge the town dates back to ______.
A. Roman times
B. 43 AD
C. before Roman times
D. the year 1209
70.The college system formed when______.
A. colleges were built for poor students
B. colleges were built for students under the age of 15
C. colleges were built for poor teachers
D. the money to build the colleges came from kings and queens
71.Many of the students of Cambridge in their first year there should live_____.
A. in colleges
B. at home
C. in Clare Hall
D. in lodgings
72.The best title for this text would be ______.
A. Cambridge’s College System
B. Cambridge the University Town
C. Colleges of Cambridge
D. Cambridge the Center of Learning
E
There is no doubt about it. The best way to learn new words is to do it unconsciously (无意识地). I don’t mean while you are unconscious. I mean while you are unconscious of the fact that it is sinking in(被完全理解).
That is how I learnt the 30，000 words in my mother tongue by living in an English-speaking world. I just picked them up. But some of them may be misunderstood. Now， to misunderstand does not mean not to understand. To misunderstand is to understand　—　but incorrectly.
　 The 5% mislearnt of all the words we “know” will be the least often used words， as the more often used words are less likely to be mislearnt. Some of these misunderstandings may live with all our lives， without ever knowing that we got them wrong.
　　 Many English teachers think that this natural method of learning words in one’s own mother tongue can be used for second language learning. They teach their students how to play the Guessing Game. “There’s no time to look up in your dictionaries all the new words you come across，” they will say. “You have to practise guessing what the word means from the context(上下文).”
This method of guessing in second language learning does not work. It may succeed in many cases， but results in hundreds or thousands of wrongly-guessed meanings of words.
And what’s more， there are more separate meanings than there are words themselves. Our learners’ dictionaries usually have many meanings or usages for each word. So dictionary use should be part of every language learning. A good dictionary is what makes selflearning possible.
Don’t guess！ Look it up！
73.The natural method of learning words is ______.
A. like the way the writer learns English
B. like the way everyone learns a second language
C. to use the words you have often got
D. to learn mostly by reading them
74.Which of the following is most likely NOT true
A. Some of the words the writer knows must have been misunderstood.
B. Most of the 30，000 words the writer learned are often used ones.
C. How many words the writer got wrong are no known.
D. All the words the writer knows were learned by reading them.
75.In the writer’s opinion， we should ______ when we come across new words in reading.
A. try to guess their meanings
B. jump over these words
C. look them all up in the dictionary
D. ask our teachers for their meanings

Good evening，ladies and gentlemen. I’m very happy to see that so many of you have been able to come this evening in spite of the weather. I know our speaker will have plenty to say that will be interesting to all of us. Dr Jane Wilson，whom we are pleased to have with us，has devoted several years to the study of present-day art in Italy，in particular during her four years of lecturing at the University of Palermo. She has traveled widely in France，Britain and Italy，gathering materials for the book she’s now preparing for publication. She is an expert photographer and has herself prepared many photos that will be used to help understand this lecture. Dr Wilson will be speaking this evening on the influences of some major 19th century paintings on present-day art in Italy，and we are all looking forward to hearing about a subject which I at least know little，but like all of us here，would like to know much more. Now without further delay，Dr Wilson.

Dear Tom，
It is nice to receive your email. Now I’d like to tell you something about the Palace Museum.
Palace Museum is also called the Forbidden City. It took 200，000 workers more than 14 years to build it. The Forbidden City was finished in 1420. As the largest museum in the world， the Palace Museum holds cultural treasures from the past 5，000 years of Chinese history. The City’s palaces have 9，999 rooms altogether. Chinese people traditionally have thought of nine as a lucky number. Students from all over China can now visit it in groups free of charge every Tuesday. The museum is under reconstruction.
I hope you can come to China and take a look at this museum with your own eyes.
Best wishes.
Yours,

Well done. I enjoyed your story. Now I’d like to share with you a strange experience I had a month ago. It may sound funny, but it is true. After a day’s hard work I went to bed earlier than usual. It was about two o’clock in the morning, and ... and suddenly I woke up. I heard a noise. I got out of bed and went slowly downstairs. There was a light in the living room. I listened very carefully. I could hear two men speaking quietly. I believed two burglars had broken into my house and I was really frightened, so I went back upstairs, and immediately phoned the police from my bedroom. The police arrived quickly. They opened the front door with a special key and went into the living room. You can imagine how embarrassed I was when they came upstairs and told me they had turned the television off for me and everything was all right.

A. a policeman was asked to help

2. Do you have anything that you want to add
(Grammar)

A. enjoyment B. appreciation
C. entertainment D. reputation
【解析】答案为B。分析语境可知,该空有“欣赏”之意。基本“倒装”须精通 特殊“结构”记心中
同学们除了要掌握课本上介绍过的几种“倒装”情况外,以下几种“倒装”结构也是“倒装”的重要组成部分,大家仍需一一甄别,烂熟于心。
整个谓语置于主语之前(此时的谓语通常都是单个形式,不借助助动词),叫完全倒装;常把助动词或情态动词放在主语之前,叫部分倒装。
以下情况常用倒装句:
1. 作地点状语的介词短语位于句首时。
　　　 On the top of the mountain stood an old temple.
山顶上有一座古庙。
2. 直接引语的一部分或全部位于句首时。
“Oh, yes, my pass,” said Lenin.
“噢,是的,我的通行证,”列宁说。
注意: 主语是代词时不倒装。例如, “Sorry, but I didn’t know,” he answered. 3. so... that, such... that中的so, such位于句首时。
So happy was Jim that he couldn’t help dancing.
吉姆高兴得手舞足蹈。
4. 在“形容词(名词/动词)+ as /though”的让步状语从句中。
Pretty as she is, she is not polite.
