仔细阅读下面的短文，短文中有10个空格，请按照短文意思填写相应的词，每空一词。答案填写在第二卷标号为36—45的对应位置。
Good afternoon, principal, teachers and all students．It is my 36 to be here to give a talk to all of you．I have studied in this school for five years．In these five years, I learned one precious thing important not only to me 37 to all of you here, and it is “reading”．I can always gain knowledge from reading．Reading doesn’t not 38 up a lot of time but I gain a lot．Now I would like to share my reading experiences with you．
I once read a book Rare Air: Michael on Michael 39 by the greatest basketball player in the history, Michael Jordan．While we envy his great achievement in the basketball and business aspects, few of us focus on his spirit of persistence．In the book, he talks about his experience of how he walks on the 40 of success．In order to join the NBA, he put in every effort to strengthen his muscle, to improve his skills 41 training hard．Because of his efforts, he successfully entered NBA．
However, he did not stop his training． 42 , the training was even stricter, 43 prepared him to deny the statement released by the public, ‘Michael is a weak guy!’ While the criticism against him diminished, he worked even harder to achieve his next goal-the championship of NBA．Finally, he succeeded．
People honor Michael as ‘God of basketball’ not only for his great basketball skills, but mainly for his spirit of persistence．While we admire his spirit, we can follow his spirit as well．Michael should be our example; we ought to learn from him．As long as we work hard, 44 is impossible．Bear in mind that all of you have the same quality．Nobody is born wise．Putting in effort is the only but effective way to advancement．My fellow schoolmates, before I go, I would like to encourage all of you that we should work as hard as we 45 ．When you grow up, you may be the one who is admired by the community．Let’s work hard together! Work for our future! Thank you．

A
Two American scientists told the people in industrial nations that they would be much healthier if they ate more of the same kind of foods eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago．
The scientists say that the human body has changed very little since human first appeared on earth, but the way we live has changed greatly．Our body has not been able to deal with these changes in life style and this has led to new kinds of sicknesses．These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times．So they are called “diseases of civilization （文明）”．Many cancers and diseases of the blood system, including heart attacks and strokes（中风）are examples of such diseases．
Scientists noted that early stone-age people used very little alcohol（酒精） or tobacco, probably none．Ancient people also got a great deal of physical exercise, but a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and life today．Stone-age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than farm animals．They also ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables, and fruits．They did not use milk and other dairy products, and they made very little use of grains．But today, we eat a large amount of dairy products and grain foods．We eat six times more salt than stone-age people．We eat more sugar．We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein（蛋白质）and much less vitamin C．
People today probably do not want to live as people thousands of years ago did, but scientists say that we would be much healthier if we ate as those ancient people did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet foods．
46．The people in industrial nations would be much healthier if they ate ．
A．more foods as humans living 10,000 years ago did
B．as humans living 10,000 years ago
C．more kinds of food eaten by people living over 10,000 years ago
D．more of the same kinds of foods eaten by people over 10,000 years ago．
47．New kinds of sicknesses have been found because ．
A．the human body has changed compared with human first appeared on earth
B．the way we live has changed a little
C．our body can’t deal with the changes in life style
D．the way we live today is proper for the human body
48．What is the main cause mentioned in the article why people suffer from a lot of new sicknesses?
A．Ancient people did a great deal of physical exercise
B．People today have a lot of alcohol
C．People today have more tobacco
D．Food is quite different between life today and life in ancient times
49．Stone-age people were much healthier than people today because they ate a lot of ．
A．milk and other dairy products B．grain foods and farm animals
C．salt and sugar D．wild animals, fresh wild vegetables and fruits
50．From this article, we know that are not good to our health．
A．protein and vitamin C B．milk and grain foods
C．wild animals, vegetables and fruits D．a huge amount of fatty, salty and sweet foods
B
To master a language one must be able to speak and understand the spoken language as well as to read and write．Lenin and his wife Krupskaya translated a long English book into Russian．But when they went to England in 1980, English people couldn’t understand what was said to them．These days more foreigners are coming to China and more and more Chinese are going out to foreign countries to work or study．So the spoken language is becoming more and more important．
Speaking, of course, can’t go without listening．If you want to pronounce a word correctly, first you must hear it correctly．The sounds of the Chinese and English language are not exactly the same．If you don’t listen carefully, you’ll find it difficult or even impossible to understand the native speakers．
Well, what about writing? Like speaking, it’s to exchange ideas．People generally use shorter words and shorter sentences in their writing．The important thing is to make your idea in your head and then to write it in clear lively language．
Chinese students read far too slowly．If you read fast, you understand better．If you read too slowly, by the time you have reached the end of a page you have forgotten what the beginning is about．When you meet with new words, don’t look them up in the dictionary．Guess the meaning from the context．You may not guess quite correctly the first time, but as new words come up again and again in different contexts, their meaning will become clearer and clearer．If you look up every word, you’ll never finish a book．
Students of a foreign language need a particular knowledge, the knowledge of the life, history and geography of the people whose language they’re studying．They should study these subjects in the foreign language, not only in translation．In this way one can kill two birds with one stone: learn a foreign language and get some knowledge of the foreign country at the same time．
51．How many points are there in the passage? ．
A．Two B．Three C．Four D．Five
52．In his first point the writer told us ．
A．how to speak English B．how to read and write
C．why spoken English is important D．why English people couldn’t understand Lenin
53．In his last point the writer advised us ．
A．to kill two birds with one stone B．to learn two languages at a time
C．to study all the subjects in a foreign language
D．to get some knowledge of the foreign country whose language you are studying．
54．In the fourth paragraph the writer gave some advice on ．
A．how to read faster B．how to guess the meaning from the context
C．how to look up new words in the dictionary D．how to grasp the general meaning of a passage
55．“To kill two birds with on stone” means ．
A．to get some particular knowledge B．to get more than what one pays
C．the stone is too big D．the birds are blind enough
C
The phone is ringing at the other end of the line and it clicks as it is being answered．A voice says quickly, “Hello, will you hold, please?” then there is another click, followed by silence．It seems like hours before someone comes back on the line—that is, if you don’t hang up first．
Office calls are, perhaps, the most difficult and the most important part of a secretary’s work．The first impression that a client（顾客）receives about a business is often through a telephone contact．A caller who is left hanging on “hold” will get the feeling that he or she has been forgotten or ignored．If a call is answered rudely, the caller may become angry．And if the call is not routed directly to the right person, the caller may feel that he or she is getting the “run-around”．
Laura Needham is a secretary in the executive offices of a large manufacturing company．As a good office secretary, Laura knows that all phone calls must be answered quickly and handled efficiently．She knows that a secretary must be pleasant and helpful, no matter how busy she is or what kind of mood she may be in．she knows she must keep calm if a caller gets impatient or becomes angry; also, of course, she knows she can never allow herself to lose her temper．If she does not have the information the caller asks for, she must know who does have the information．Finally, she knows that one of her most important responsibilities is to “screen” telephone calls and to know which calls to refer to her boss, which calls to refer to other people, and which calls to handle herself．A well-handled telephone call will give the caller a good impression of the company he or she is dealing with．For this reason, an office secretary who can handle telephone calls cheerfully, tactfully（机敏）, and efficiently is a valuable asset（财富）to any organization．
56．The underlined phrase “run-around” probably means ．
A．a strange experience B．a flat refusal C．a not-so-warm welcome D．a cold response
57．Laura knows quite well that a secretary must be ．
A．quick and busy B．pleasant and helpful C．calm and patient D．both B and C
58．The underlined word “screen” means ．
A．give an answer to B．show something on a piece of cloth
C．separate things of one sort from those of another D．watch something on the screen
59．According to this passage a secretary can never be a good one unless she ．
A．knows how to please her clients(委托人) B．often asks her boss how to deal with telephone calls
C．has the information her clients need D．can keep calm and never loses her temper
60．This passage is mainly about ．
A．well-handled telephone calls B．the importance of handling office calls
C．a good secretary called Laura Needham D．a secretary being a valuable asset to her company

（阅读材料）
Almost everyone knows that water covers three-fourths of the earth’s surface. Most of it, however, is in the oceans and is too salty to drink. Also, some of it is frozen and cannot be used. In fact, less than one percent is left for the use of people, animals and plant life.
All through history men have tried to build their homes near the sources of fresh water. Now fresh water is becoming scarce, but more and more is needed because of the increasing number of people in the world. Some industries also use large amounts of fresh water in the production of things such as steel, petroleum, paper and rubber and so on.
Scientists estimate that the need for fresh water will have doubled by the year 2003. If they are correct, we must find new ways of saving it or producing it. Some nations have worked on the problem and are already sharing their information with others. They are trying to keep their rivers from becoming polluted. Deep wells are also being dug, and rain water is being collected in huge artificial lakes. In one way or another, they hope to provide enough water to satisfy the needs of their people.

A Sly Thief
On Sunday morning, in order to get some money, Mr.Li rode on his motorbike to the bank, near which there was no parking space but two big, strong trees．As there was no parking space, a good idea struck in his mind that it would be absolutely safe if he locked his motorbike between the two trees．Unfortunately, coming out of the bank, Mr.Li found the two trees were cut down, lying on the ground．To make things worse, his motorbike was gone! What a sly man the thief was!
第二节: （共25分）
With the worldwide increase of population, more and more water is needed. Meanwhile, the water sources are getting polluted by human beings in one way or another. Some nations are taking measures to solve this problem. They even communicate with each other hoping to find better ways to save and produce water to meet the needs of their people.
On a personal level, to solve the problem with fresh water, both the government and individuals should make every effort. For example, for the government, it is urgent to make detailed laws that require businesses and individuals to stop polluting the environment and to save water while it is not necessarily used. Besides, education should be offered to all the citizens to raise their awareness of the importance of protecting environment and saving water. As individuals, we need to take action to play our own part in our everyday life.

Good afternoon, principal, teachers and all students．It is my 36 to be here to give a talk to all of you．I have studied in this school for five years．In these five years, I learned one precious thing important not only to me 37 to all of you here, and it is “reading”．I can always gain knowledge from reading．Reading doesn’t not 38 up a lot of time but I gain a lot．Now I would like to share my reading experiences with you．
I once read a book Rare Air: Michael on Michael 39 by the greatest basketball player in the history, Michael Jordan．While we envy his great achievement in the basketball and business aspects, few of us focus on his spirit of persistence．In the book, he talks about his experience of how he walks on the 40 of success．In order to join the NBA, he put in every effort to strengthen his muscle, to improve his skills 41 training hard．Because of his efforts, he successfully entered NBA．
However, he did not stop his training． 42 , the training was even stricter, 43 prepared him to deny the statement released by the public, ‘Michael is a weak guy!’ While the criticism against him diminished, he worked even harder to achieve his next goal-the championship of NBA．Finally, he succeeded．
People honor Michael as ‘God of basketball’ not only for his great basketball skills, but mainly for his spirit of persistence．While we admire his spirit, we can follow his spirit as well．Michael should be our example; we ought to learn from him．As long as we work hard, 44 is impossible．Bear in mind that all of you have the same quality．Nobody is born wise．Putting in effort is the only but effective way to advancement．My fellow schoolmates, before I go, I would like to encourage all of you that we should work as hard as we 45 ．When you grow up, you may be the one who is admired by the community．Let’s work hard together! Work for our future! Thank you．

A
Two American scientists told the people in industrial nations that they would be much healthier if they ate more of the same kind of foods eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago．
The scientists say that the human body has changed very little since human first appeared on earth, but the way we live has changed greatly．Our body has not been able to deal with these changes in life style and this has led to new kinds of sicknesses．These new sicknesses were not known in ancient times．So they are called “diseases of civilization （文明）”．Many cancers and diseases of the blood system, including heart attacks and strokes（中风）are examples of such diseases．
Scientists noted that early stone-age people used very little alcohol（酒精） or tobacco, probably none．Ancient people also got a great deal of physical exercise, but a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and life today．Stone-age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than farm animals．They also ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables, and fruits．They did not use milk and other dairy products, and they made very little use of grains．But today, we eat a large amount of dairy products and grain foods．We eat six times more salt than stone-age people．We eat more sugar．We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein（蛋白质）and much less vitamin C．
People today probably do not want to live as people thousands of years ago did, but scientists say that we would be much healthier if we ate as those ancient people did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet foods．
46．The people in industrial nations would be much healthier if they ate ．
A．more foods as humans living 10,000 years ago did
B．as humans living 10,000 years ago
C．more kinds of food eaten by people living over 10,000 years ago
D．more of the same kinds of foods eaten by people over 10,000 years ago．
47．New kinds of sicknesses have been found because ．
A．the human body has changed compared with human first appeared on earth
B．the way we live has changed a little
C．our body can’t deal with the changes in life style
D．the way we live today is proper for the human body
48．What is the main cause mentioned in the article why people suffer from a lot of new sicknesses?
A．Ancient people did a great deal of physical exercise
B．People today have a lot of alcohol
C．People today have more tobacco
D．Food is quite different between life today and life in ancient times
49．Stone-age people were much healthier than people today because they ate a lot of ．
A．milk and other dairy products B．grain foods and farm animals
C．salt and sugar D．wild animals, fresh wild vegetables and fruits
50．From this article, we know that are not good to our health．
A．protein and vitamin C B．milk and grain foods
C．wild animals, vegetables and fruits D．a huge amount of fatty, salty and sweet foods
B
To master a language one must be able to speak and understand the spoken language as well as to read and write．Lenin and his wife Krupskaya translated a long English book into Russian．But when they went to England in 1980, English people couldn’t understand what was said to them．These days more foreigners are coming to China and more and more Chinese are going out to foreign countries to work or study．So the spoken language is becoming more and more important．
Speaking, of course, can’t go without listening．If you want to pronounce a word correctly, first you must hear it correctly．The sounds of the Chinese and English language are not exactly the same．If you don’t listen carefully, you’ll find it difficult or even impossible to understand the native speakers．
Well, what about writing? Like speaking, it’s to exchange ideas．People generally use shorter words and shorter sentences in their writing．The important thing is to make your idea in your head and then to write it in clear lively language．
Chinese students read far too slowly．If you read fast, you understand better．If you read too slowly, by the time you have reached the end of a page you have forgotten what the beginning is about．When you meet with new words, don’t look them up in the dictionary．Guess the meaning from the context．You may not guess quite correctly the first time, but as new words come up again and again in different contexts, their meaning will become clearer and clearer．If you look up every word, you’ll never finish a book．
Students of a foreign language need a particular knowledge, the knowledge of the life, history and geography of the people whose language they’re studying．They should study these subjects in the foreign language, not only in translation．In this way one can kill two birds with one stone: learn a foreign language and get some knowledge of the foreign country at the same time．
51．How many points are there in the passage? ．
A．Two B．Three C．Four D．Five
52．In his first point the writer told us ．
A．how to speak English B．how to read and write
C．why spoken English is important D．why English people couldn’t understand Lenin
53．In his last point the writer advised us ．
A．to kill two birds with one stone B．to learn two languages at a time
C．to study all the subjects in a foreign language
D．to get some knowledge of the foreign country whose language you are studying．
54．In the fourth paragraph the writer gave some advice on ．
A．how to read faster B．how to guess the meaning from the context
C．how to look up new words in the dictionary D．how to grasp the general meaning of a passage
55．“To kill two birds with on stone” means ．
A．to get some particular knowledge B．to get more than what one pays
C．the stone is too big D．the birds are blind enough
C
The phone is ringing at the other end of the line and it clicks as it is being answered．A voice says quickly, “Hello, will you hold, please?” then there is another click, followed by silence．It seems like hours before someone comes back on the line—that is, if you don’t hang up first．
Office calls are, perhaps, the most difficult and the most important part of a secretary’s work．The first impression that a client（顾客）receives about a business is often through a telephone contact．A caller who is left hanging on “hold” will get the feeling that he or she has been forgotten or ignored．If a call is answered rudely, the caller may become angry．And if the call is not routed directly to the right person, the caller may feel that he or she is getting the “run-around”．
Laura Needham is a secretary in the executive offices of a large manufacturing company．As a good office secretary, Laura knows that all phone calls must be answered quickly and handled efficiently．She knows that a secretary must be pleasant and helpful, no matter how busy she is or what kind of mood she may be in．she knows she must keep calm if a caller gets impatient or becomes angry; also, of course, she knows she can never allow herself to lose her temper．If she does not have the information the caller asks for, she must know who does have the information．Finally, she knows that one of her most important responsibilities is to “screen” telephone calls and to know which calls to refer to her boss, which calls to refer to other people, and which calls to handle herself．A well-handled telephone call will give the caller a good impression of the company he or she is dealing with．For this reason, an office secretary who can handle telephone calls cheerfully, tactfully（机敏）, and efficiently is a valuable asset（财富）to any organization．
56．The underlined phrase “run-around” probably means ．
A．a strange experience B．a flat refusal C．a not-so-warm welcome D．a cold response
57．Laura knows quite well that a secretary must be ．
A．quick and busy B．pleasant and helpful C．calm and patient D．both B and C
58．The underlined word “screen” means ．
A．give an answer to B．show something on a piece of cloth
C．separate things of one sort from those of another D．watch something on the screen
59．According to this passage a secretary can never be a good one unless she ．
A．knows how to please her clients(委托人) B．often asks her boss how to deal with telephone calls
C．has the information her clients need D．can keep calm and never loses her temper
60．This passage is mainly about ．
A．well-handled telephone calls B．the importance of handling office calls
C．a good secretary called Laura Needham D．a secretary being a valuable asset to her company

Almost everyone knows that water covers three-fourths of the earth’s surface. Most of it, however, is in the oceans and is too salty to drink. Also, some of it is frozen and cannot be used. In fact, less than one percent is left for the use of people, animals and plant life.
All through history men have tried to build their homes near the sources of fresh water. Now fresh water is becoming scarce, but more and more is needed because of the increasing number of people in the world. Some industries also use large amounts of fresh water in the production of things such as steel, petroleum, paper and rubber and so on.
Scientists estimate that the need for fresh water will have doubled by the year 2003. If they are correct, we must find new ways of saving it or producing it. Some nations have worked on the problem and are already sharing their information with others. They are trying to keep their rivers from becoming polluted. Deep wells are also being dug, and rain water is being collected in huge artificial lakes. In one way or another, they hope to provide enough water to satisfy the needs of their people.

A Sly Thief
On Sunday morning, in order to get some money, Mr.Li rode on his motorbike to the bank, near which there was no parking space but two big, strong trees．As there was no parking space, a good idea struck in his mind that it would be absolutely safe if he locked his motorbike between the two trees．Unfortunately, coming out of the bank, Mr.Li found the two trees were cut down, lying on the ground．To make things worse, his motorbike was gone! What a sly man the thief was!
第二节: （共25分）
With the worldwide increase of population, more and more water is needed. Meanwhile, the water sources are getting polluted by human beings in one way or another. Some nations are taking measures to solve this problem. They even communicate with each other hoping to find better ways to save and produce water to meet the needs of their people.
On a personal level, to solve the problem with fresh water, both the government and individuals should make every effort. For example, for the government, it is urgent to make detailed laws that require businesses and individuals to stop polluting the environment and to save water while it is not necessarily used. Besides, education should be offered to all the citizens to raise their awareness of the importance of protecting environment and saving water. As individuals, we need to take action to play our own part in our everyday life.
