The next year his programmes were placed on to the Intemet．Everyone was welcome to use them and improve them if they could. Programmers used his codes(编码)to work with different operating systems．New things like web browsers(浏览器)and search engines were developed．Between 1991 and 1994 the ntmrber of web pages rose from 10 to 100，000．
In 1994 Tim Bemers-Lee formed the newly formed World wide web Consortium(协会)or W3C. More than 200 leading companies and laboratories are represented(代表)by W3C．Together they make sure that everyone can participate(参加)equally on the Web．

What is yoUl.favorite color? Do you like yellow，orange，red? If you do，you must be an optimist(乐观者)，a leader，an active person who enjoys life，people and excitement．Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet，shy and you would rather follow than lead．If you love green，you are strong-minded and determined．You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful．
At least this is what psychologists(心理学家)tell us，and they should know，because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference(爱好)，and the effect that colors have on human beings．They tell HS that we don’t choose our favorite color as we grow up．If you happen to 10ve brown．you did so as soon as you opened your eyes，or at least as soon as you could see clearly．
A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable than a dark green one，and a red dress rings wamlth and cheer to the saddest winter day．On the other hand，black is depressing(压抑)．Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active。It is a fact that factory workers work better，harder，and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark gray．
Remember，then，that if you feel low，you Call always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colorful things．Remember also that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you find out what colors they like and dislike．And don’t forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character whell you choose a piece of handkerchief．

Not everyone in the world requires the same amount of living space．The amount of space a person needs around him is a cultural difference，not all economic one．Knowing your OWll psychological(心理的)space needs is impoIiant because they strongly"affect your choices，including，for example，the nuInber of bedrooms in the home．If you were brought up in a two—child family and both you and your sister or brother had your own bedrooms，the chances are if you have two children or more，that you also will offer separate bedrooms for them．In America，for example，they train people to want to have their own rooms by giving them their owu rooms when they are babies．This is very unusual in the world．In many other eountdes，the baby sleeps in the same bed with his parents or in bed near them．
The space in the home also shows a lot about psychological space needs．Some families gather closer to each other and the size of their house has nothing to do with it，Others have separate little corners where family members go to be alone．
Ahhough it is tme that psychological space needs are not decided by economic reasons，they sometimes have to be changed a little because of economic pressure(压力)．It is ahnost impossible，however，to completely change your psychological space needs．

A Thoughtful Way to Go Shopping

“People come into the store because we have a lot of interesting things，but then they’re drawn to us by the mission(慈善的举动)，”says organization spokeswoman Juanita Fox．
“It just feels good to be making a difference when you’re buying something．”

The store was opened in 1994 as part of a network of shops across the USA inn by the Mennonite church，which is based in Akron，Pennsylvania．
Now 60，000 skilled workmen from 32 countries provide goods to the stores，with all the income reinvested(再投资)in the organization．
Management of the Alexandria shop is overseen by an all volunteer(自愿)board of directors．More than 40 other volunteers help doing everything from working the register to unpacking goods．
Maria Yannopoulos got involved(进入)after visiting a store and getting to know another volunteer．“Since we’re non—profit，we’re really looking for value because the more we sell，the more jobs we can create．Giving someone a job rather than charity helps in so many ways．”

Ⅲ．阅读理解(共20小题，每题2分，满分40分)
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
At one time, people used to travel to foreign countries because they thought they would be different from home-the building, the food, the national dress. Nowadays, however, one large city is very like another. They all have their Hihon or Sheraton Hotels which look like Hilton or Sheraton Hotels everywhere. They all have their McDonald's, their KFCs, their Pizza Huts. Office buildings look the same everywhere, and most city centers are full of office buildings. And, of course, people are driving the same brands of Japanese or European cars, usually wearing the same kinds of clothing and watching---except for a few programs--the same American movies and TV shows. Airports are the same everywhere and the world's airlines are all flying the same aircraft, Boeings or Airbuses.
What, therefore, is the purpose of foreign travel for people who are not on business? What do tourists hope to experience in a foreign country that they cannot experience at home? Why travel to foreign countries at all? The answer could be that people are very interested in the past. It is a nation's history
that is its main attraction. Most of today's tourists travel overseas to find out what foreign countries and cultures used to be like, not what they are like today. The words "eultural tourism" are now part of the language of tourism, and it is the museums and works of art in many countries that are their main attractions.
If they are lucky--and have had sensible, strong governments--many countries "also usually have at least a few beautiful places for tourists to visit.
Finally there is perhaps a nation's greatest attraction: its people. A nation is not just its historical buildings, its works of art or beautiful places, it is also the people who live in it. This is why a country sueh as Thailand attracts millions of people every year. They come mainly- because of the friendliness of
the Thai people, it is why the Pacific Islands are also so popular. There may not be mueh to see or do in Fiji, but there are lots of friendly, smiling people to make visitors feel welcome.
36.The passage is mainly about
A. the importance of tourism B. different foreign eultures

A device that stops drivers from falling asleep at the wheel is about to undergo testing at Department of Transport laboratories and could go on sale within 12 months.
The system, called Driver Alert, aims to reduce deadly road accidents by 20%--40% that are caused by tiredness. Airline pilots can also use it to reduce the 30% of all pilot-error accidents that are related to fatigue.
Driver Alert is based on a computerized wristband. The device, worn by drivers pilots, gives out a sound about every four minutes during a car joumey. After each sound the driver must respond by squeezing the steering wheel(方向盘). A sensor in the wristband detects this pressing action and measures the time between the sound and the driver's response.
Tiredness is directly related to a driver's response time. Usually, a watchful driver would take about 400 milliseconds to respond, hut once that falls to more than 500 milliseconds, it suggests that the driver is getting sleepy.
In such cases the device gives out more regular and louder sounds, showing that the driver should open a window or stop for a rest. If the driver's response continues to slow down, the sounds become mote frequent until a nonstop alma warns that the driver must stop as soon as possible.
The device has been delivered to the department's laboratories for testing. If these tests, scheduled for six months' time, are successful, the makers will bring the product to market within about a year.

It was a warm April day when a big fat envelope cane in the mail from the only college I had ever imagined attending. I tore open the packet. My eyes were fixed on the word "congratulations." I don't remember ever smiling so wide.
Then I looked at my financial(财政的) package.
The cost of Dream School's tuition(学费), room and board was around ＄40,000--an impossible sum! How could I afford to attend? What good reasons did I have to go there when three other fine colleges were offering me free tuition? My other choices were good, solid schools even if they weren't as famous as my firet choice.
In my mind, attending my dream university would he the only way to realize my dream of becoming a wnrld-elass writer. My parents understood how I felt. They told me that even though it would be a financial problem, I could go wherever I would be happiesl. But as I was always careful with money, I wasn't sure what to do.
One of the schools that offered me a full ride had an informational dinner one night in the spring. Considering my parents' financial difficulties, I decided to drive the 45 minutes and attend. At first, all I had planned to do was smile politely, eat free food, listen quietly. But I surprised myself.
At dinner the president of the university talked about the wonderful activities on campus(校园) ineluding guest lectures and social gatherings. He also made it perfectly clear that free food would be offered at all future events. He continued with explanations of professors, class sizes, activities, and sporting events on campus. As he spoke, I began to realize that this school, though not as good as my first choice, might be the best one for me. It seemed small yet with many great programs. It seemed challenging yet caring.
As the president ended his speech, we clapped politely and pushed back our chairs. As I walked out that door, a feeling of comfort washed over me. Looking at the campus that night, I realized that I would be spending the next four years right there.
In all honesty, my university is not as well-known as my "dream" university. However, it turned out to be the right choice of schools for me.
44.How did the author feel when he started to read the letter?
A. He was full of joy. B. He was lost in his dream.
C. He was worried about the money. D. He was uncertain which school to go to.
45.We can learn from the passage that the parents were
A. honest B. strict C. supportive D. decisive
46.In Paragraph 5, "offered me a full ride" can be replaced by
A. would pay for transport to the school B. would show me around the campus
C. would offer free meals at all events D. would charge me nothing for tuition
47.What does the author mainly want to say?
A. Your second-choice college may actually be your best fit.
B. You should consider comfort in your choice of schools.
C. You should try your best to attend your dream school.
D. Your choice of schools should he based on their fame.

How Long Can People Live?
She took up skating at age 85, made her first movie appearance at age 114, and held a Concert in the neighborhood on her 121 st birthday.
When it comes to long life, Jeanne Calment is the world's record holder. She lived to the ripe old age of 122. So is 122 the upper limit to the human life span (寿命) ? If scientists come up with some sort of pill or diet that would slow aging, could we possibly make it to 150--or beyond?
Researchers don't entirely agree on the answers. "Calment lived to 122, so it wouldn't surprise me if someone alive today reaches 130 or 135, "says Jerry Shay at the University of Texas.
Steve Austad at the University of Texas agrees. "People can live much longer than we think, " he says. "ExpertS used to say that humans couldn't live past 110. When Calment blew past that age, they raised the number to 120. So why can't we go higher?"
The trouble with guessing how old people can live to be is that it's all just guessing. "Anyone can make up a number,," says Rieh Miller at the University of Michigan. "Usually the scientist who picks the highest number gets his name in Time magazine."
Won’t new anti-aging techniques keep us alive for centuries? Any cure, says Miller, for aging would probably keep most of us kicking until about 120. Researchers are working On treatments that lengthen the life span of mice by 50 percent at most. So, if the average human life Span is about 80 years, says
Miller, "adding another 50 percent would get you to 120."
So what can we conclude from this little disagreement among the researchers? That life, span is flexible(有弹性的), but there is a limit, says George Martin of the University of Washington. "We can get flies to live 50 percent longer," he says. "But a fly's never going to live 150 years. Of course, if you became a new species (物种), one that ages at a slower speed, that would be a different story," he adds.
Does Martin really believe that humans could evolve(进化) their way to longer life? "It's pretty cool to think 'about," he says with a smile.
48.What does the story of Jeanne Calment prove to us?
A. People can live to 122. B. Old people are creative.
C. Women are sporty at 85. D. Women live longer than men.
49.According to Steve Austad at the University of Texas,
A. the average human life span could be 110
B. scientists cannot find ways to slow aging
C. :few people can expect to live to over 150
D. researchers are not sure how long people can live
50.Who would agree that a scientist will become famous if he makes the wildest guess at longevity?
A. Jerry Shay. B. Steve Austad.
C. Rich Miller. D. George Martin.
51.What can we infer fi'om the last three paragraphs?
A. Most of us could be good at sports even at 120.
B. The average human life span carmot be doubled.
C. Scientists believe mice are aging at a slower speed than before.
D. New techniques could be used to change flies into a new species.

Eating enough fruits and vegetables is what most people associate with good health habits. But just as important to healthy living are frequent doses(剂量) of laughter and humor--both proven to have a direct effect on health.
According to Wendy Shepard, clinical nurse specialist at Hopkins Bayview in Community Psychiatry's Creative Alternatives Program, laughter has definite physiological effects on the body. Laughing is like inside jogging(慢跑), she says. It cleans the respiratory(呼吸的)system, stimulates the digestive tract, increases heart rate and blood cireulation(循环), lowers blood pressure, reduces muscletension and increases the release of endorphins, the body's natural pain-killers.
Unfortunately, many people don't use humor enough when dealing with everyday life situations.Many wait for humor to happen to them instead of making it happen. "Humor is more than just laughing at a joke. It can become a way of life if you open yourself up to a new attitude," says Shepard. "The greatest thing about play, creativity and laughter--all components(成分) of humor---is that you not only
help yourself, you help others. Humor is contagious(易感染他人的)!"
Shepard suggests that everyone relax and lighten up. It can be as easy as focusing on fun things to pick up at a dollar store. Shepard often travels with a grab bag of things to help make people smile. Of course, making humor a part of your life 365 days a year doesn't mean you have to carry a grab bag, put on a clown nose or tell jokes--although those things are fun in the right situation. Instead, look for ways to make the things you already do more fun, such as laughing with co-workers and smiling at people you don't know.
Says Shepard, "Some people need help in the funny-bone department. That's why it's good to practice having fun." Things you can do to practice include putting together humor collections, making joy lists and creating joy boxes. A joy box may include a collection of whatever makes you happy—letters from loved ones, a child's drawing, a favorite cartoon, a fun toy, a humorous video--the possibilities are endless. Shepard says she loves to give joy boxes or gags(笑话或滑稽故事) with playful gifts. She says that these gifts lift the spirits of even the most serious of people.
"Keeping in mind that not all prescriptions(处方 ) involve drugs, there is a prescription you can give a loved one, friend or colleague," says Shepard. "The healing power of laughter, play and humor is great. Besides, you can never overdose on it. It truly is the best medicine."
52.The passage is mainly, about .
A. good eating habits B. laughing matter
C. the sense of humor D. healing power of humor
53.The underlined word "physiological" (Para. 2) means in Chinese“ ”
A.心理上的 B.生理上的 C.幽默风趣的 D.负面的、不好的
54.According to the 3rd paragraph, many people .
A. cannot wait for humor to happen to them
B. wonder if humor can help them deal with daily problems
C. should make humor happen instead of just waiting for it to happen
D. should not expect too much of humor because it can only make you laugh

take things easy

I needed to get some money so，after Christmas，I took a job in the clothes department at Graham’s for the first fortnight of the January sale．I can’t say that I enjoyed it，but it was atl experience I'll never forget．
I could never understand why there were so many filings in the sales；where did they all come from? Now I know the secret[Firstly，there is the special winter stock(货物)and the stock that people buy all the year round；some of these things ate slightly reduced．Seeondly，there are the summer clothes they couldn't sell last year；these are heavily reduced to clear them．Thirdly，there are cheap clothes bought in specially for the sales；these are put out at high prices ten days before the sale begins and then are reduced by 60％in the sale．Clever!Lastly，they buy in“seconds”(clothes not in perfect condition)for the sale and they are sold vmy cheaply．
When I arrived half an hour before opening on the first day of the sale，there was already a queue amund three sides of the building．This made me very nervous．
When the big moment amved to open the doors，the security guards，looking less confident than usual，came up to them，keys in hand．The moment they had unlocked the doors，they hid behind the doors for protection as the noisy crowd charged in．I couldn’t believe my eyes：this wasn’t shopping，it was a battlefield!One poor lady couldn’t keep her feet and was knocked over by people pushing from be
hind.
Clothes were flying in all directions as people searched for the sizes, colours and styles they wanted.
Quarrels broke out. Mothers were using their small children to erawl(爬行) through people's legs and get hold of things they couldn't get near themselves.
Within minutes I had half a dozen people pushing clothes under my nose, each wanting to be the first served. Where had the famous English queue gone? The whole day continued like that, but I kept my temper(脾气) ! I was taking money hand over fist and began to realise why, twice a year, Graham's were happy to turn ttieir expensive store into a battlefield like this.
In the sale fever, people were spending money like water without thinking whether they needed what they were buying. As long as it was a bargain it was OK.
You won't believe this but as soon as I got home I crashed out for four hours. Then I had dinner and went back to bed, fearing the sound of the alarm which would tell me to get ready for the second day of the sale.

In 1901, H. G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers(探险者) landed on the moon, they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities. They expressed their surprise to the "moon people" they met. In turn, the "moon people" expressed their surprise. "Why," they asked, "are you traveling to outer space when you don't even use your inner space?"
H.G. Wells could only imagine traveling to the moon. In 1969, human beings really did land on the moon. People today know that there are no underground cities on the moon. However, the question that the “moon people” asked is still an interesting one. A growing number of scientists are seriously thinking about it.
Underground systems are already in place. Many cities have underground car parks. In some cities, such as Tokyo, Seoul and Montreal, there are large underground shopping areas. The “Channel”, a tunnel (隧道) connecting England and France, is now completed.
But what about underground cities? Japan's Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground system, called “Alice Cities”. The designers imagine using surface space for public parks and using underground space for flats, offices, shopping, and so on. A solar dome (太阳能穹顶) would cover the whole city.
Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth's space. The surface, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H.G. Wells' “moon people” would agree. Would yon?
41.The explorers in H.G. Wells' story were surprised to find that the “moon people”
A. knew so much about the earth B. understood their language
C. lived in so many underground cities D. were ahead of them in space technology

A. Discovering the moon's inner space. B. Using the earth's inner space.
C. Meeting the “moon people” again. D. Traveling to outer space.
43. What sort of underground systems are already here with us?
A. Offices, shopping areas, power stations.
B. Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas.
C. Gardens, ear parks, power stations.
D. Tunnels, gardens, offices.
44. What would be the best title for the text?
A. Alice Cities--Cities of the Future
B. Space Travel with H.G. Wells
C. Enjoy Living Underground
D. Building down, Not up

If you are ever lucky to be invited to a formal dinner party in Paris, remember that the French have their own way of doing things, and that even your finest manners may not be “correct” by French custom. For example, if you think showing up promptly at the time given on the invitation, armed with gifts of wine and roses, complimenting your hostess on her cooking, laughing heartily at the host's jokes and then leaping up to help the hostess will make you the perfect guest, think again.
Here Madame Nora Chabal, the marketing director of the Ritz Hotel in Paris, explained how it works.
The first duty of the guest is to respond to the invitation within 48 hours. And, the guest may not ask to bring a guest because the hostess has chosen her own.
Flowers sent in advance are the prefered gift. They may also be sent afterwards with a thank-you note. It is considered a very bad form to arrive with a gift of flowers in hand, there by forcing the hostess to deal with timing a vase when she is too busy to do that. See, that's the logic! The type of flowers sent
has a code of its own, too. One must never send chrysanthemums because they are considered too hLunble a flower for occasion. Carnations are considered bad luck, and calla lilies are too reminiscent(令人联想的) of fnnerals(葬礼). A bouquet of red roses is a declaration of romantic intent. Don't send those nnless you mean it-and never to a married hostess. And though the French love wine, you must never
bring a bottle to a dinner party. Why, it's as if you feared your hosts would not have enough wine on hand, and that's an insult. You may, however, offer a box of chocolates which the hostess will pass after dinner with coffee.
If an invitation is for eight o'clock, the considerate guest arrives at 8: 15. Guests who arrive exactly on time or early are mere thoughtless ones who are not giving the hostess those last few minutes she needs to deal with details and crises. The “correct” guest arrives between 15 to 20 minutes after the hour be-
cause dinner will be served exactly 30 minutes past the time on the invitation.
45.Which of the following statements is right according to the French custom?
A. When you receive an invitation, reply to it within two days. You'd better send flowers in advance.
B. Arrive exactly on time at the dinner party.
C. Bring a bottle of good wine to the dinner party.
D. Telephone to ask if you could bring a good friend to the party.
46.Which of the following is right about sending flowers?
A. If someone is dead, send chrysanthemums or calla lilies.
B. If someone is ill in hospital, send carnations.
C. If you are invited to a dinner party, send red roses to the hostess.
D. If you are in love with someone, send red roses.
47.If you are too busy to send flowers in advance, what should you do?
A. Bring a bouquet of flowers when you go to the party.
B. Send a bouquet of flowers afterwards with a thank-you note.
C. Bring a bottle of wine instead of a bouquet of flowers.
D. The hostess will never mind if you send flowers or not.
48.What does the word “considerate” in the last paragraph mean?
A. 尊敬的 B. 值得考虑的 C. 考虑周到的 D.相当多的
D
If American customs seem strange, remember that Americans feel the same way when they visit another country, people living in different cultures do many daily things differently from one another. What a dull(not interesting or boring) the world would be if this were not true!
Some differences are small, and one soon becomes used to them. For example, many people find it strange that Americans move from place to place so often. Born in one city, they may attend school in a second, enter business in a third, and perhaps move several times during their lives. Today, most Americans fully expect and accept the fact that they will move frequently.
However, houses are of great interest to Americans. They spend a lot of time thinking, reading and talking about their homes and how to improve them. They also enjoy looking at other people's houses, since they would enjoy visiting and examining a house in another country, they may suppose that you will probably have the same desire when you visit the United States. So do not be surprised when you visit an American family and are shown every room in the house besides the bathroom and kitchen.
49.The first paragraph suggests that
A. only American customs prove to be strange
B. customs are different in different times
C. customs are different from country to country
D. Americans feel uneasy when they visit another country

The biggest safety threat(威胁) facing airlines today may not be a man with a gun, but the man with the portable computer in business class. In the past 15 years, pilots have reported well over 100 incidents that could have been caused by electromagnetic interference(电磁干扰). The source of this interference remains unclear, but increasingly, experts are pointing the blame at portable electronic devices such as portable computers, radio and mobile telephones.
RTCA, an organization which advises the aviation (航空 ) industry, has suggested that all airlines ban(禁止) such devices fiom being used during “key” stages of flight, partiicularly take-off and landing Some experts have gone further, calling for a total ban during all flights. Nowadays, rules on using these devices are left up to airlines. And although some airlines ban passengers from using such equipment during take-off and landing, most are not willing to exercise a total ban, if many passengers want to work during flights.
The difficulty in understanding how electromagnetic fields might affect an aircraft's computers. Experts know that portable devices give off radiation which affects those wavelengths which aircraft uses for communication. But, because they have not been able to reproduce these effects in a laboratory, they have no way of knowing whether the interference might be dangerous or not.
The fact that aircraft may be in trouble because of the interference raises the danger that some people may use radio systems in order to damage navigation(导航)equipment．As worrying，though，is the pas. senger who can’t hear the instructions to turn off his radio because the music’s too loud．

D.They were caused by the passengers’portable computers．
54．Few airlines want to refuse a total ban on their passengers because ．
A．they have other effective safety measures to fall back on
B．they don’t believe there is such a danger as radio interference
C．the effect of electromagnetic interference is yet to be proved
D．most passengers refuse to take a plane which bans the use of radio
55．Why is it difficult to see the effects of electromagnetic fields on computers?
A．Experts lack proper equipment to do such research．
B．It is dangerous to CalTy out such research on an airplane．
C．It remains a question what wavelengths are to be interfered with．
D．Scientists have not been able to produce the same effects in labs．

参考答案
阶段综合测试一(Unit 11—Unit 12)
1． C 2．C 3．D 4．D 5．A 6．C 7．B 8．B
9． B 本题考查动词的时态区别。从题意“露西一直在考虑回去上学”来看，应用现在完成进行时has been doing，表示一段时间一直在做某事。
10．D 本题考查识别句子结构的能力以及非谓语动词的用法。seized与took是并列谓语，disappearing是现在分词作伴随状语。
11．C lead to “导致、引起”，to是介词，后接名词或动名词，catch与the thief之间是被动关系，故要用动名词的被动式。
12．D 13．C 14．C 15．B
16．A record。rd记录，记载经历，功过。颁发奖学金就是看学生的平时表现及考试成绩，只有record能体现出来。
17．C go further表示更进一步。get，last不能体现出积极的一面。
18．B 奖学金的发放肯定对学生有所要求，requirements要求，achievements完成，movements活动，treatments治疗，对待。
19．D 指其中任何一个人，是谁无关紧要，体现了平等性。
20．A treat sb．请客，这里指用奖学金招待朋友们吃饭。
21．C this和that都可以用来代指前面提到的人或物，但后面必须加名词；it用来指上文提到的人或物，此处指money；one用来代替可数名词的单数形式。
22．D 根据下文可知，评估是很严格的。
23．B make a short speech是作一场简短的演讲，从short可知没必要write，而对奖学金的高要求又不会让他们去read，更不会是show。
24．B 前文说怎样评奖，下面要说的怎样花费，二者之间是转折关系。as for表示“至于”。
25．D mind过于“大”，此处只是表示在一个小问题上的不同看法。
26．C 由natural及下文的usually可知，填special及unusual不合适。national国家的，民族的，不合语境。
27. D 由句中的on可确定spending，afford sth．to sb．，pay money for sth．，sth．cost sb．Money.
28．A especially表强调，特指，这里反对将钱花在请客上，又特别指出家境贫困的学生该怎么样。
29．A would表意愿，should应该，could表能力，might表可能性。si Guangrong还是一个大学生，尚未成为postgraduate，她只能表示愿意将钱花在上面。
30．C 由下文得知这些观点与Si Guangrong的观点不大相同，他们既不支持请客又不支持不请客，他们说可以按自己的方式花费，这是一个折中的观点。balanced意为“折中的，中庸的”。
31．B of a sort差劲的，劣等的，this sort of这种。ofthis sort没有这种结构out of sorts身体不适，sort of有几分，有点，多少有些，相当于some what。
32．D way表“方式”，前边必须加介词in。
33．A equip“装备”可排除；provide。若用于此处，应加介词for；send指“送或寄”，不能体现奖学金的严格要求，也应排除掉。
34． C 学生分两部分，the top 10，000得6000元，另一部分会收到4000元，the others表示两者中的另一部分。
35．B in addition另外，除了……之外还有；in the end最后；in short总之；in all总计。
36．D 由第二段“some of these things are shghtly reduced”可知，slightly表示轻微的，一点的，因为题目中所说便宜5％，因此可知为冬天的衣服。
37．A 由第六段“Where had the famous English queue gone?”可知，本题选A。
38．D 由文中可知，Graham's，希望看到人们在战场上一样疯买它的东西，因为它可以赚许多钱。
39．B 排除法，她很累，不可能是A、c、D，又由文中第八段“Then I had dinner and went back to bed”中的“back”可知，她又返回去睡觉，说明刚才在睡觉。
40．C 由全文可知，本文是描写人们争买打折商品的故事，所以选C。
41．C 该题是一个细节题。从第一段第二句中“When the explorers landed on the moon，they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities．”能够间接得出“moon people lived in SO many underground cities”故选项C正确。A、B、D的内容文中没有提到。
42．B 该题为推测词义题，主要考查考生根据上下文推测代词所指代内容的能力。由第二段可知…it’指“the。question that the moon people asked．”而the question是指第一自然段中“moon people”asked“are you traveling to outer space when you don’t even use your inner space?”从而得出it是指使用地球的内部空间，所以选B。
43． B 从第三段中，“tunnel”，“car parks”，“shopping areas”都是属于“underground systems”。可以得出正确答案为B。
44．D 该题是一个文章主旨题。在短文最后一段的第一句中，点明了本文的主旨“Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth’s space．”由此句可得正确答案为D。
45．A 按照法国风俗选出正确选项，此题备选答案在文中均出现过，但根据法国人的逻辑，只有A是正确的。
46．D 关于送花，哪一选项正确呢?此题答案在第四自然段中，“菊花太谦卑，康乃馨代表坏运，马蹄莲让人想到葬礼，红玫瑰有浪漫之意但不宜送给已婚的女主人”，故正确答案为D。
47．B 文中提到“提前送花被视为较好的礼物，亦可在事后，并附一则感谢之语”，故此题答案为B。
48．C 由于“considerate”一词中有词根“consider”，所以选出两个较为迷惑的答案B、C，另“相当多的”为considerable。此题意在考查学生对同一词根的不同后缀的理解，根据上下文意思选C。
49．C 50．A 51．B 52．D
53．C 第一段第2行：“In the past 15 year，．．．over 100 incidents that could have been caused by electromagnetic interference．”
54．C 虽然有关专家指出飞行安全可能跟电磁干扰有关，但这种干扰的起因不明，还有待于证实。
55．D 第三段第3行“because they have not been able to reproduce these effects in a laboratory．”
56．her→his 57．A→r111e 58．have→having 59．to 60．out→in 61．to后面加be
62．√ 63．but→and 64．that→which 65．在I后面加am或者在just后面加come
