From the beginning rivers have played an important in the life of man．Man of the earliest times used the rivers as a means of travel．Today rivers still serve as a great waterway for the transport and people．
In ancient times, man settled near rivers or on river banks and built up large empires．Water is nature’s most valuable gift to man．Man needs water to irrigate his crops, to cook and to wash．In nations all over the world, rivers mean life and wealth．They feed and clothe the nations around them．
Water is also a source of energy and power．Man build huge dams across the rivers to control the water for irrigation and get the energy needed to drive generators．The electrical power is then directed to homes, cities, factories and television stations．
Man uses water each day．In a small way rivers help to keep man in good health and provide for his amusements．Various forms of water sports keep man strong and healthy．

In the early part of the twentieth century, racism（种族歧视） was widespread in the United States．Many African Americans were not given equal opportunities in education or employment．Marian Anderson（1897－1993） was an African American woman who gained fame as a concert singer in this climate of racism．She was born in Philadelphia and sang in church choirs（歌唱队） during her childhood．When she applied for admission to a local music school in 1917, she was turned down because she was black．Unable to attend music school, she began her career as a singer for church gatherings in 1918．In 1929, she went to Europe to study voice , and soon she was widely praised throughout Europe．
Then she returned to the U．S．in 1935 and became a top concert singer after performing at Town Hall in New York City．
Racism again affected Anderson in 1939．When it was arranged for her to sing at Constitution Hall in Washington D．C．, the Daughters of the American Revolution opposed（反对） it because of her color．She sang instead at the Lincoln Memorial for over 75,000 people．In 1955, Anderson became the first black soloist（独唱者） to sing with the Metropolitan Opera of New York City．The famous conductor Toscanini praised her voice as “heard only once in a hundred years．” She was a U．S．delegate（代表） to the United Unions in 1958 and won the UN peace prize in 1977．Anderson finally won over racism．
44．According to this passage, what did Marian Anderson do between 1917 and 1929?

GONE are the days that an American teen would call up his classmates to see what they are doing on Friday night．Instead, he or she is increasingly likely to check online．
MySpace, the social networking（社交网络） website, is different from other websites which only provide stories about other people．MySpace is a place that allows you to broadcast your own stories and personal information to as many people as you like．Started two years ago, it is a big source of information for and about American kids．
Teenagers and their parents feel very differently about it．Teens are rushing to join the site, not sharing their parents' worries．It signals yet another generation gap in the digital era（数码时代）．
For teenagers, it is a reliable network to keep in touch with their friends．They will often list their surnames, birthdays, after－school jobs, school clubs, hobbies and other personal information．
"MySpace is an easy way to reach just about everyone．I don't have all the phone numbers of my acquaintances（熟人）．But if I want to get in touch with one of them, I could just leave them a message on MySpace," said Abby Van Wassen．She is a 16－year－old student at Woodland Hills High of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania．
Parents on the other hand are seriously concerned about the security（安全） problems of MySpace．
"Every time we hold a parents meeting, the first question is always about MySpace," said Kent Gates, who travels the country doing Internet safety seminars（研讨会）．The National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children has received at least 288 MySpace－related complaints（投诉）, according to Mary Beth Buchanan, a lawyer in Pittsburgh．
"Your profile（简介） on MySpace shows all your personal information to anyone on the Web．And MySpace even lists this information by birthplace and age．It's like a free checklist（清单） for trouble－makers and it endangers children," Buchanan said．
48．The main purpose of this story is to ______．
A．explain parents’ fears about the Internet
B．inform you of a new trend among American teens
C．show you how to share information with people online
D．warn you of the risks of sharing personal information
49．From the story, we learn that MySpace _______．
A．is all about various kinds of news
B．is very careful about people’s privacy
C．encourages you to list your personal information
D．lists the telephone numbers of your friends
50．Why are some parents against MySpace?
A．Because parents think MySpace is a bad influence on their children．
B．Because troublemakers can easily contact their children through the site．
C．Because it takes up too much of their children’s spare time．
D．Because parents don’t want to pay so much money for MySpace．
51．What can we infer from “Every time we hold a parents meeting, the first question is always about MySpace”? ______________．
A．MySpace has become a top issue troubling parents
B．MySpace often hold parents meetings
C．Parents care a lot about their children
D．Parents visiting the website have lots of questions
52．Which of the following can serve as the best title?
A．MySpace Is Popular With Parents B．A Safe Website For Teens
C．How To Get In Touch With Other Teens D．MySpace, A Popular Website For Teens
D
There are three branches of medicine．One is called “doctor medicine” or “scientific medicine”．Scientific doctors try to observe sickness, look for logical patterns, and then find out how the human body works．From there they figure out what treatment may work．This kind of medicine is believed to date from the 4th century BC．Although nowadays it is successful, in the ancient world this approach probably did not cure many patients．
A second kind of medicine is called “natural cures” or “folk medicine,” in which less educated people try to cure sickness with various herbs．These folk healers also use observation and logic, but they are not so aware of it．They try things until they find something that seems to work, and then they keep doing that．
Folk medicine flourished long before the development of scientific medicine and was more successful in ancient times than doctor medicine．
The third kind is called “health spas” or “faith healing”．Sometimes this may be as simple as touching the holy man and being immediately healed．Other times, a magician may make you a magic charm, or say a spell, to cure you．Some religious groups organize special healing shrines（places） for the sick．In these places people rest, get plenty of sleep, eat healthy food, drink water instead of wine, and exercise in various ways．They also talk to the priests and pray to the gods．If you are feeling sad or you have been working too hard, going to these places may be just the right thing to make you feel better．
53．Doctor medicine __________．
A．has a longer history than folk medicine
B．has been practiced for around 1,600 years
C．bases its treatment on observation and logic
D．was very successful in curing sicknesses in ancient times
54．According to the passage, which of the following is NOT used in health spas?
A．Magic power． B．Various herbs．
C．Religious faith． D．A healthy life style．
55．According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A．Folk healers choose different herbs to cure diseases without any sound basis．
B．People who practice folk medicine need lots of formal education on herbs．
C．The success of folk medicine led to the development of doctor medicine．
D．Natural cures worked better than scientific medicine in ancient times．
56．The author’s primary purpose in this passage is to ______．
A．describe different types of medicine
B．argue for the importance of medicine in health care
C．show the important role religious plays in medical treatments
D．compare the educational backgrounds of three different types of patients
E
ADAMA, 24, almost died making the journey from Burkina Faso in Africa to Spain．Because he was an illegal migrant（非法移民）, he had to make the dangerous journey in a small boat which nearly sank．
He finally arrived in Madrid, Spain hoping for a better life, but his troubles didn't end there．He has found it difficult to get a job, and has often had to sleep on the streets．
"In my country, at least I was able to eat．I felt very miserable（悲惨的）．But I kept fighting, because I had to make a life for myself," he said．
Adama is one of 191 million people who have left their birthplace for a new life in another country, according to a United Nations report published on September 6．"State of the World Population" tells varied stories of people who leave home to look for a better life．
Most migrants move to wealthy nations, since they offer opportunities for higher wages（工资）, better education and healthcare．In the report, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan emphasized（强调） the positive effects of migration．Migrants are often prepared to take jobs, which local people don't want to do such as cleaning and agricultural labour．
Migrants work very hard because many want to earn money to send back to their poor families．The report showed that money sent home by migrants totaled US$232 billion in 2005, more than twice the amount 10 years ago．India, China and Mexico benefit most．
Many migrants move to Europe, which has an ageing population and not enough young workers．Migrants help to fill gaps（差距） in the labour market and support older people in retirement．
But critics（批评家） of immigration say migrants are a threat to people's jobs．They claim migrants lower working standards because they are prepared to accept less money and fewer benefits．Many people fear too much immigration will destroy their traditional societies．
Other critics say Western countries should not encourage skilled workers to leave their homelands．It can lead to a shortage of skilled labour in less developed places like Africa, where there are now too few nurses to work in the hospitals．
"There is an urgent（紧急的）need for stronger co－operation between countries to make migration safe and fair," said Thoraya Ahmed Obaid, executive director of the United Nations Population Fund．
（selected from 21st Teens Oct．14, 2006）
57．Adama serves as an example of ______．
A．illegal immigrants who are heavily criticized
B．millions of immigrants who seek a better life
C．immigrants who send lots of money back home
D．people who live a miserable life in foreign countries
58．The purpose of the passage is to ______．
A．draw people’s attention to the problem of migrants
B．explain why critics don’t favour immigration
C．help Adama to find a better job
D．encourage migrants in developed countries
59．Critics of migrants believe________．
A．migrants makes the competition for jobs harder
B．migrants cause a brain drain（人才流失）in some countries
C．migrants lower working standards
D．All the above
60．Which of the following correctly reflects the structure of the story?
A．Present condition－benefits－problems－suggested solutions
B．Example－general condition－reasons－summary
C．Migrants－purpose－influences－suggested solutions
D．Example－general condition－influences－summary

A In 1968, H．Wayne Huizenga teamed with a partner to create a nationwide company for waste collection, a business traditionally made up of small, local companies．The new company, Waste Management, Inc．, became the foundation of his fortune．
B While attending Harvard University in 1975, Bill Gates teamed with Paul Allen to develop a version of the BASIC programming language for the Altair 8800, the first personal computer．They licensed the software to the manufacturer of the Altair and formed Microsoft（originally Micro－soft） to develop versions of BASIC for other computer companies．Gates decided to drop out（退学） of Harvard in his junior year to devote his time to Microsoft．
C In 1963, Ted Turner took over his family billboard－advertising business．In 1970 he bought a failing UHF（ultrahigh frequency） television station in Atlanta, Georgia, and by 1975 Turner had transformed it into the first “superstation”—WTBS, by transmitting（传送） low－cost sports and entertainment programs via satellite to cable systems throughout the country．
D In 1986, Oprah Winfrey formed Harpo Productions to produce her own show and other projects．With distribution rights（销售权） to her shows, Winfrey used profits to expand her business activities．By 1998 Winfrey was worth $675 million．
E Microsoft founder Bill Gates planned to give away almost all of his vast fortune, largely to the cause of global health．Having already the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation with $ 24 billion to address global health issues, Gates said that eventually his entire fortune would be put towards the cause except “a few percent left for the kids．”
F Amazon．com founder Jeff Bezos grew interested in online retailing（零售业） in 1994 while working as a business analyst in New York City．After researching the success of different mail－order companies Bezos decided that books were the perfect product to see via the Internet．That year he left New York to establish his new company in Seattle, chosen for its being near to major book wholesalers and the advanced high－tech industry．In July 1995 Amazon．com developed its Web site, and has since expanded to offer many other retail products in addition to books．

One possible version:
Nowadays the government and people of China are trying to build a country with a harmonious relationship．_Generally speaking, the relationship between us students and our family members and classmates as well as teachers is good．However, there exist some problems．Some students in our grade are easy to lose their temper because of anxiety and study burden．What’s worse, they sometimes quarrel with others, and even turn a deaf ear to their parents and teachers, which is very disappointing．
In my opinion, we middle school students should make our efforts to improve the situation．First, we should respect our parents and teachers as well as our classmates．Second, when we are not feeling good/happy, we can chat with our friends or teachers or even parents．It is likely that they can understand us better and give us some reasonable advice．Third, after a day’s hard work, we can relax ourselves by taking some exercise, such as playing basketball, table tennis and so on．
答题要点：
1．高三学生与家庭成员和班级同学老师之间的关系处理目前的实际情况：好的方面和不够的方面（问题）；
2．你个人的改进意见（至少两条）。（答两条即可）

From the beginning rivers have played an important in the life of man．Man of the earliest times used the rivers as a means of travel．Today rivers still serve as a great waterway for the transport and people．
In ancient times, man settled near rivers or on river banks and built up large empires．Water is nature’s most valuable gift to man．Man needs water to irrigate his crops, to cook and to wash．In nations all over the world, rivers mean life and wealth．They feed and clothe the nations around them．
Water is also a source of energy and power．Man build huge dams across the rivers to control the water for irrigation and get the energy needed to drive generators．The electrical power is then directed to homes, cities, factories and television stations．
Man uses water each day．In a small way rivers help to keep man in good health and provide for his amusements．Various forms of water sports keep man strong and healthy．
41．Rivers have been important to man _______．

In the early part of the twentieth century, racism（种族歧视） was widespread in the United States．Many African Americans were not given equal opportunities in education or employment．Marian Anderson（1897－1993） was an African American woman who gained fame as a concert singer in this climate of racism．She was born in Philadelphia and sang in church choirs（歌唱队） during her childhood．When she applied for admission to a local music school in 1917, she was turned down because she was black．Unable to attend music school, she began her career as a singer for church gatherings in 1918．In 1929, she went to Europe to study voice , and soon she was widely praised throughout Europe．
Then she returned to the U．S．in 1935 and became a top concert singer after performing at Town Hall in New York City．
Racism again affected Anderson in 1939．When it was arranged for her to sing at Constitution Hall in Washington D．C．, the Daughters of the American Revolution opposed（反对） it because of her color．She sang instead at the Lincoln Memorial for over 75,000 people．In 1955, Anderson became the first black soloist（独唱者） to sing with the Metropolitan Opera of New York City．The famous conductor Toscanini praised her voice as “heard only once in a hundred years．” She was a U．S．delegate（代表） to the United Unions in 1958 and won the UN peace prize in 1977．Anderson finally won over racism．
44．According to this passage, what did Marian Anderson do between 1917 and 1929?

GONE are the days that an American teen would call up his classmates to see what they are doing on Friday night．Instead, he or she is increasingly likely to check online．
MySpace, the social networking（社交网络） website, is different from other websites which only provide stories about other people．MySpace is a place that allows you to broadcast your own stories and personal information to as many people as you like．Started two years ago, it is a big source of information for and about American kids．
Teenagers and their parents feel very differently about it．Teens are rushing to join the site, not sharing their parents' worries．It signals yet another generation gap in the digital era（数码时代）．
For teenagers, it is a reliable network to keep in touch with their friends．They will often list their surnames, birthdays, after－school jobs, school clubs, hobbies and other personal information．
"MySpace is an easy way to reach just about everyone．I don't have all the phone numbers of my acquaintances（熟人）．But if I want to get in touch with one of them, I could just leave them a message on MySpace," said Abby Van Wassen．She is a 16－year－old student at Woodland Hills High of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania．
Parents on the other hand are seriously concerned about the security（安全） problems of MySpace．
"Every time we hold a parents meeting, the first question is always about MySpace," said Kent Gates, who travels the country doing Internet safety seminars（研讨会）．The National Centre for Missing and Exploited Children has received at least 288 MySpace－related complaints（投诉）, according to Mary Beth Buchanan, a lawyer in Pittsburgh．
"Your profile（简介） on MySpace shows all your personal information to anyone on the Web．And MySpace even lists this information by birthplace and age．It's like a free checklist（清单） for trouble－makers and it endangers children," Buchanan said．
48．The main purpose of this story is to ______．
A．explain parents’ fears about the Internet
B．inform you of a new trend among American teens
C．show you how to share information with people online
D．warn you of the risks of sharing personal information
49．From the story, we learn that MySpace _______．
A．is all about various kinds of news
B．is very careful about people’s privacy
C．encourages you to list your personal information
D．lists the telephone numbers of your friends
50．Why are some parents against MySpace?
A．Because parents think MySpace is a bad influence on their children．
B．Because troublemakers can easily contact their children through the site．
C．Because it takes up too much of their children’s spare time．
D．Because parents don’t want to pay so much money for MySpace．
51．What can we infer from “Every time we hold a parents meeting, the first question is always about MySpace”? ______________．
A．MySpace has become a top issue troubling parents
B．MySpace often hold parents meetings
C．Parents care a lot about their children
D．Parents visiting the website have lots of questions
52．Which of the following can serve as the best title?
A．MySpace Is Popular With Parents B．A Safe Website For Teens
C．How To Get In Touch With Other Teens D．MySpace, A Popular Website For Teens
D
There are three branches of medicine．One is called “doctor medicine” or “scientific medicine”．Scientific doctors try to observe sickness, look for logical patterns, and then find out how the human body works．From there they figure out what treatment may work．This kind of medicine is believed to date from the 4th century BC．Although nowadays it is successful, in the ancient world this approach probably did not cure many patients．
A second kind of medicine is called “natural cures” or “folk medicine,” in which less educated people try to cure sickness with various herbs．These folk healers also use observation and logic, but they are not so aware of it．They try things until they find something that seems to work, and then they keep doing that．
Folk medicine flourished long before the development of scientific medicine and was more successful in ancient times than doctor medicine．
The third kind is called “health spas” or “faith healing”．Sometimes this may be as simple as touching the holy man and being immediately healed．Other times, a magician may make you a magic charm, or say a spell, to cure you．Some religious groups organize special healing shrines（places） for the sick．In these places people rest, get plenty of sleep, eat healthy food, drink water instead of wine, and exercise in various ways．They also talk to the priests and pray to the gods．If you are feeling sad or you have been working too hard, going to these places may be just the right thing to make you feel better．
53．Doctor medicine __________．
A．has a longer history than folk medicine
B．has been practiced for around 1,600 years
C．bases its treatment on observation and logic
D．was very successful in curing sicknesses in ancient times
54．According to the passage, which of the following is NOT used in health spas?
A．Magic power． B．Various herbs．
C．Religious faith． D．A healthy life style．
55．According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
A．Folk healers choose different herbs to cure diseases without any sound basis．
B．People who practice folk medicine need lots of formal education on herbs．
C．The success of folk medicine led to the development of doctor medicine．
D．Natural cures worked better than scientific medicine in ancient times．
56．The author’s primary purpose in this passage is to ______．
A．describe different types of medicine
B．argue for the importance of medicine in health care
C．show the important role religious plays in medical treatments
D．compare the educational backgrounds of three different types of patients
E
ADAMA, 24, almost died making the journey from Burkina Faso in Africa to Spain．Because he was an illegal migrant（非法移民）, he had to make the dangerous journey in a small boat which nearly sank．
He finally arrived in Madrid, Spain hoping for a better life, but his troubles didn't end there．He has found it difficult to get a job, and has often had to sleep on the streets．
"In my country, at least I was able to eat．I felt very miserable（悲惨的）．But I kept fighting, because I had to make a life for myself," he said．
Adama is one of 191 million people who have left their birthplace for a new life in another country, according to a United Nations report published on September 6．"State of the World Population" tells varied stories of people who leave home to look for a better life．
Most migrants move to wealthy nations, since they offer opportunities for higher wages（工资）, better education and healthcare．In the report, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan emphasized（强调） the positive effects of migration．Migrants are often prepared to take jobs, which local people don't want to do such as cleaning and agricultural labour．
Migrants work very hard because many want to earn money to send back to their poor families．The report showed that money sent home by migrants totaled US$232 billion in 2005, more than twice the amount 10 years ago．India, China and Mexico benefit most．
Many migrants move to Europe, which has an ageing population and not enough young workers．Migrants help to fill gaps（差距） in the labour market and support older people in retirement．
But critics（批评家） of immigration say migrants are a threat to people's jobs．They claim migrants lower working standards because they are prepared to accept less money and fewer benefits．Many people fear too much immigration will destroy their traditional societies．
Other critics say Western countries should not encourage skilled workers to leave their homelands．It can lead to a shortage of skilled labour in less developed places like Africa, where there are now too few nurses to work in the hospitals．
"There is an urgent（紧急的）need for stronger co－operation between countries to make migration safe and fair," said Thoraya Ahmed Obaid, executive director of the United Nations Population Fund．
（selected from 21st Teens Oct．14, 2006）
57．Adama serves as an example of ______．
A．illegal immigrants who are heavily criticized
B．millions of immigrants who seek a better life
C．immigrants who send lots of money back home
D．people who live a miserable life in foreign countries
58．The purpose of the passage is to ______．
A．draw people’s attention to the problem of migrants
B．explain why critics don’t favour immigration
C．help Adama to find a better job
D．encourage migrants in developed countries
59．Critics of migrants believe________．
A．migrants makes the competition for jobs harder
B．migrants cause a brain drain（人才流失）in some countries
C．migrants lower working standards
D．All the above
60．Which of the following correctly reflects the structure of the story?
A．Present condition－benefits－problems－suggested solutions
B．Example－general condition－reasons－summary
C．Migrants－purpose－influences－suggested solutions
D．Example－general condition－influences－summary

B While attending Harvard University in 1975, Bill Gates teamed with Paul Allen to develop a version of the BASIC programming language for the Altair 8800, the first personal computer．They licensed the software to the manufacturer of the Altair and formed Microsoft（originally Micro－soft） to develop versions of BASIC for other computer companies．Gates decided to drop out（退学） of Harvard in his junior year to devote his time to Microsoft．
C In 1963, Ted Turner took over his family billboard－advertising business．In 1970 he bought a failing UHF（ultrahigh frequency） television station in Atlanta, Georgia, and by 1975 Turner had transformed it into the first “superstation”—WTBS, by transmitting（传送） low－cost sports and entertainment programs via satellite to cable systems throughout the country．
D In 1986, Oprah Winfrey formed Harpo Productions to produce her own show and other projects．With distribution rights（销售权） to her shows, Winfrey used profits to expand her business activities．By 1998 Winfrey was worth $675 million．
E Microsoft founder Bill Gates planned to give away almost all of his vast fortune, largely to the cause of global health．Having already the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation with $ 24 billion to address global health issues, Gates said that eventually his entire fortune would be put towards the cause except “a few percent left for the kids．”
F Amazon．com founder Jeff Bezos grew interested in online retailing（零售业） in 1994 while working as a business analyst in New York City．After researching the success of different mail－order companies Bezos decided that books were the perfect product to see via the Internet．That year he left New York to establish his new company in Seattle, chosen for its being near to major book wholesalers and the advanced high－tech industry．In July 1995 Amazon．com developed its Web site, and has since expanded to offer many other retail products in addition to books．

One possible version:
Nowadays the government and people of China are trying to build a country with a harmonious relationship．_Generally speaking, the relationship between us students and our family members and classmates as well as teachers is good．However, there exist some problems．Some students in our grade are easy to lose their temper because of anxiety and study burden．What’s worse, they sometimes quarrel with others, and even turn a deaf ear to their parents and teachers, which is very disappointing．
In my opinion, we middle school students should make our efforts to improve the situation．First, we should respect our parents and teachers as well as our classmates．Second, when we are not feeling good/happy, we can chat with our friends or teachers or even parents．It is likely that they can understand us better and give us some reasonable advice．Third, after a day’s hard work, we can relax ourselves by taking some exercise, such as playing basketball, table tennis and so on．
答题要点：
1．高三学生与家庭成员和班级同学老师之间的关系处理目前的实际情况：好的方面和不够的方面（问题）；
2．你个人的改进意见（至少两条）。（答两条即可）
3．书面整洁2分。
