第二大题: 阅读理解（共25小题。第一节每小题2分；第二节，每小题1分；满分45分。）
第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳答案，并填在答题卡上。
A
Getting paid to talk about the World Cup is a great job. I'm not a football commentator（评论员），though—just an English teacher in Japan.
I came to Japan two years ago, and didn't think I would say, but Japan has that effect on you. People often end up living here longer than they planned. I think it's best to teach in a bigger city where there are other foreigners to mix with, rather than a small town where English teachers often complain of feeling like a goldfish in a bowl. Many people choose to live in Tokyo, of course, which is good for the nightlife factor. But I'd say that for general quality of living, cities of neither too large nor too small, like Sapporo where I live, are better choices.
I teach English privately, which means I'm my own boss. If you want to devote yourself to private teaching, it's well worth doing a TEFL course first, because your lessons will be much better for it. The problem with private teaching is finding students; it took me a year to build up a full schedule（日程表）of private lessons, so I started out teaching in schools part-time.
Most of my foreign friends' here work fulltime for big English conversation schools. The salary is fine to live on, but whether you can save money depends on how much going out and traveling you do here.
The schools are reluctant to take time off-even teachers with tickets for the England-Argentina game had trouble getting the day off.
41. From the passage we know in Japan the writer likes to live in __ __.
A. Tokyo B. a small town C. a city of middle size D. a big city
42. According to the writer, one had better ____ first to do private teaching better.
A. take a TEFL course B. decide his or her own lessons
C. find students D. build up a full schedule
43. The underlined sentence in the second paragraph implies that .
A. there are many foreigners in Japan
B. Japan is good for nightlife
C. they can teach English privately in Japan
D. Japan has something more attractive than expected
44. The underlined word "reluctant" in the passage may probably mean .
A. kind B. unwilling C. free D. careless
B
As skies are filled with millions of migrating (迁徙) birds. European scientists say the seasonal wonder appears to be strange: The fatter the bird. the better it flies.
The results of their study led to a theory opposite to a central one of aerodynamics（空气动力学），which says that the power needed to fly increases with weight.
For birds, obviously, the cost of flying with heavy fat is much smaller than we used to think. Researchers found that red knot wading birds double their normal body weight of 100 grams before making their twice-a-year nonstop flight between the British Isles and the Russian Arctic.
Distance: 5 000 kilometers.
Another study in the magazine Nature measured the advantage of flying in an aerodynamic group which allows birds to save energy by flying smoothly and quietly in the lead bird's air stream.
Flying in groups, their heart rates were 14.5 percent lower than flying alone, according to Henri, a French scientist. The findings help explain how birds complete difficult migrations. Researchers had thought that thinner, stronger birds would have the best chance to survive.
The first study suggests that building up fat to be burnt as fuel during the migration is worth more than the energy it takes to carry the additional weight.
In the study，researchers said their team studied the birds flown at different body weights during 28 simulated (模拟的) flights. They forced a small amount of special water into the birds' bodies so that they could measure the amount of energy burnt during the flight.
45. A red knot wading bird of 100 grams will probably weigh __ __ before making its nonstop migrating flight.
A. 50 grams B. 100 grams C. 150 grams D. 206 grams
46. During their migrating flight, red knot wading birds can save energy by flying
A separately B. alone C. in groups D. in pairs
47. A ____ red knot wading bird has a better chance to survive during its migrating flight.
A. stronger B. weaker C. thinner D. fatter
48. The best title for this passage may probably be__ _.
A. Birds Thin Down For Journey
B. Birds Fatten Up For Journey
C. How Birds Build Up Fat For Journey
D. How Birds Burn Energy For Journey
C

There are two main forms of teaching in Nottingham University：seminar( 研讨会) and lecture.
They are very different from the sort of teaching most often used in schools and colleges.
In seminars you will be taught with discussion focusing on a text or topic set in advance in 1I friendly and informal atmosphere. The purpose is to provide an opportunity to tryout new ideas and to think through difficulties with fellow-learners. Students develop friendships through groups, a$ well as learning more about other people's ideas. You can also know your tutors as an individual rather than a face at the end of the room.
Lectures are the most formal. There may he over a hundred in the audience 'and the lecture will last about fifty minutes. The value of the lecture is that it can present to a large number of people information which is not readily available in books. that it can give you an opportunity to hear a specialist develop a coherent (有条有理的) argument，and that it can show visual material to a wide audience.
Your typical week's work will feel strange after school or college since there are fewer timetabled teaching hours. Each week in the first year you may attend about six lectures and four to six seminars or tutorials (辅导). For the rest of the time you are working on your own, doing the necessary reading in preparation for tutorials or writing seminar papers. When writing an essay or carrying out project work, you can often discuss with your tutor about the title and topic.
53. The purpose of the passage is __ __.
A. to introduce two main forms of teaching
B. to persuade you to tryout new ideas
C. to stress the importance of discussion
D. to make you believe that seminar is more helpful
54. One of the values of the lecture is .
A. to make friends through groups
B. to learn more about other people's ideas
C. to offer a chance to discuss with a specialist
D. to present to students information not found in books
55. Your typical week's work in the university will feel strange because __ __.
A. you may have no project work after class.
B. you may give lectures and seminars
C. you may have fewer timetabled teaching hours
D. you may write seminar papers with fellow-learners
56. We can learn from the passage that
A seminar is better than lecture
B. lecture is better than seminar
C. seminar is more formal than lecture
D. lecture is more formal than seminar

Despite the high technology and investment (投资) in flood defences by the Environment Agency (环保局) , there is no way to stop all flooding一sooner or later nature will produce something that will beat even the strongest defences.
Warning people of this danger is very important if we are to prevent the great loss of life seen fifty—three years ago. Indeed if the Flood Warning system that 'currently exists had been around on that cold, stormy night in January 1953, many lives would have been spared.
The Environment Agency took over the role of flood warning in 1995 from the police who had to go door to door or sound alarms to get the news out. The service is being constantly improved and a combination of better technology and increased investment following the Easter Floods of 1998 has led to the creation of Floodline and an automatic (自动) messaging system that can warn thousands of people in very little time.
Floodline 0845 988 1188 offers information and advice 24 hours a day and if warnings are in place, callers can get information either from local updates or by using a quickdial code for their area.
The Flood Warning team in Kent has also sent letters to the people living close to the rivers or the sea and invited them to join the A VM (automated voice messaging) system Anyone choosing to take up this free service will receive a recorded message directly to their home, business or page telling them of the level of warning, giving them as much time as possible to carry out their flood plan and save items that cannot be replaced if lost or damaged, such as photographs or children's favorite toys.
57. Choose the correct statements from the following according to the passage.
a. Many people lost their lives in the flood in 1953.
b. The Flood Warning system was already in use in 1953.
c. Flood defences can stop all flooding.
d. The Environment Agency began to warn people of flood in 1995.
e. Floodline was created after the Easter Floods of 1998.
A . a, b, c B. b, c, d C. a, c, e D. a, d, e
58. What does the underlined word" pager" mean in the passage?
A.A boy employed to carry luggage in hotels.
B. A piece of equipment designed to receive and show messages.
C. A page of papers written to offer messages.
D. A person invited to write pages of messages.
59. People can easily get information and advice about flood any time of the day from .
A. automatic messaging system
B. Floodline 0845 988 1188
C. the Flood Warning team in Kent
D. automated voice messaging system
60. The best title for this passage may probably be .
A. Environment Agency
B. Technology In Flood Defences
C. Flood Warning System
D. Easter Floods

Dear Friends,
As we all know, we are what we eat. Therefore, it’s very common among us students. Some of us often go to school without breakfast; some like to have snacks; some others are particular about food; and still some eat or drink too much. All these bad habits will surely do harm to our health.
To keep fit, we should have various healthy diets, which generally include proper amounts of fish, meat, vegetables, fruit as well as main food. Besides, we’d better have meals regularly.
In my opinion, we should try to develop healthy eating habits to build up a strong body. Only in this way, can we have enough energy to study well.

第二大题: 阅读理解（共25小题。第一节每小题2分；第二节，每小题1分；满分45分。）
第一节 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳答案，并填在答题卡上。
A
Getting paid to talk about the World Cup is a great job. I'm not a football commentator（评论员），though—just an English teacher in Japan.
I came to Japan two years ago, and didn't think I would say, but Japan has that effect on you. People often end up living here longer than they planned. I think it's best to teach in a bigger city where there are other foreigners to mix with, rather than a small town where English teachers often complain of feeling like a goldfish in a bowl. Many people choose to live in Tokyo, of course, which is good for the nightlife factor. But I'd say that for general quality of living, cities of neither too large nor too small, like Sapporo where I live, are better choices.
I teach English privately, which means I'm my own boss. If you want to devote yourself to private teaching, it's well worth doing a TEFL course first, because your lessons will be much better for it. The problem with private teaching is finding students; it took me a year to build up a full schedule（日程表）of private lessons, so I started out teaching in schools part-time.
Most of my foreign friends' here work fulltime for big English conversation schools. The salary is fine to live on, but whether you can save money depends on how much going out and traveling you do here.
The schools are reluctant to take time off-even teachers with tickets for the England-Argentina game had trouble getting the day off.
41. From the passage we know in Japan the writer likes to live in __ __.
A. Tokyo B. a small town C. a city of middle size D. a big city
42. According to the writer, one had better ____ first to do private teaching better.
A. take a TEFL course B. decide his or her own lessons
C. find students D. build up a full schedule
43. The underlined sentence in the second paragraph implies that .
A. there are many foreigners in Japan
B. Japan is good for nightlife
C. they can teach English privately in Japan
D. Japan has something more attractive than expected
44. The underlined word "reluctant" in the passage may probably mean .
A. kind B. unwilling C. free D. careless
B
As skies are filled with millions of migrating (迁徙) birds. European scientists say the seasonal wonder appears to be strange: The fatter the bird. the better it flies.
The results of their study led to a theory opposite to a central one of aerodynamics（空气动力学），which says that the power needed to fly increases with weight.
For birds, obviously, the cost of flying with heavy fat is much smaller than we used to think. Researchers found that red knot wading birds double their normal body weight of 100 grams before making their twice-a-year nonstop flight between the British Isles and the Russian Arctic.
Distance: 5 000 kilometers.
Another study in the magazine Nature measured the advantage of flying in an aerodynamic group which allows birds to save energy by flying smoothly and quietly in the lead bird's air stream.
Flying in groups, their heart rates were 14.5 percent lower than flying alone, according to Henri, a French scientist. The findings help explain how birds complete difficult migrations. Researchers had thought that thinner, stronger birds would have the best chance to survive.
The first study suggests that building up fat to be burnt as fuel during the migration is worth more than the energy it takes to carry the additional weight.
In the study，researchers said their team studied the birds flown at different body weights during 28 simulated (模拟的) flights. They forced a small amount of special water into the birds' bodies so that they could measure the amount of energy burnt during the flight.
45. A red knot wading bird of 100 grams will probably weigh __ __ before making its nonstop migrating flight.
A. 50 grams B. 100 grams C. 150 grams D. 206 grams
46. During their migrating flight, red knot wading birds can save energy by flying
A separately B. alone C. in groups D. in pairs
47. A ____ red knot wading bird has a better chance to survive during its migrating flight.
A. stronger B. weaker C. thinner D. fatter
48. The best title for this passage may probably be__ _.
A. Birds Thin Down For Journey
B. Birds Fatten Up For Journey
C. How Birds Build Up Fat For Journey
D. How Birds Burn Energy For Journey

There are two main forms of teaching in Nottingham University：seminar( 研讨会) and lecture.
They are very different from the sort of teaching most often used in schools and colleges.
In seminars you will be taught with discussion focusing on a text or topic set in advance in 1I friendly and informal atmosphere. The purpose is to provide an opportunity to tryout new ideas and to think through difficulties with fellow-learners. Students develop friendships through groups, a$ well as learning more about other people's ideas. You can also know your tutors as an individual rather than a face at the end of the room.
Lectures are the most formal. There may he over a hundred in the audience 'and the lecture will last about fifty minutes. The value of the lecture is that it can present to a large number of people information which is not readily available in books. that it can give you an opportunity to hear a specialist develop a coherent (有条有理的) argument，and that it can show visual material to a wide audience.
Your typical week's work will feel strange after school or college since there are fewer timetabled teaching hours. Each week in the first year you may attend about six lectures and four to six seminars or tutorials (辅导). For the rest of the time you are working on your own, doing the necessary reading in preparation for tutorials or writing seminar papers. When writing an essay or carrying out project work, you can often discuss with your tutor about the title and topic.
53. The purpose of the passage is __ __.
A. to introduce two main forms of teaching
B. to persuade you to tryout new ideas
C. to stress the importance of discussion
D. to make you believe that seminar is more helpful
54. One of the values of the lecture is .
A. to make friends through groups
B. to learn more about other people's ideas
C. to offer a chance to discuss with a specialist
D. to present to students information not found in books
55. Your typical week's work in the university will feel strange because __ __.
A. you may have no project work after class.
B. you may give lectures and seminars
C. you may have fewer timetabled teaching hours
D. you may write seminar papers with fellow-learners
56. We can learn from the passage that
A seminar is better than lecture
B. lecture is better than seminar
C. seminar is more formal than lecture
D. lecture is more formal than seminar

Despite the high technology and investment (投资) in flood defences by the Environment Agency (环保局) , there is no way to stop all flooding一sooner or later nature will produce something that will beat even the strongest defences.
Warning people of this danger is very important if we are to prevent the great loss of life seen fifty—three years ago. Indeed if the Flood Warning system that 'currently exists had been around on that cold, stormy night in January 1953, many lives would have been spared.
The Environment Agency took over the role of flood warning in 1995 from the police who had to go door to door or sound alarms to get the news out. The service is being constantly improved and a combination of better technology and increased investment following the Easter Floods of 1998 has led to the creation of Floodline and an automatic (自动) messaging system that can warn thousands of people in very little time.
Floodline 0845 988 1188 offers information and advice 24 hours a day and if warnings are in place, callers can get information either from local updates or by using a quickdial code for their area.
The Flood Warning team in Kent has also sent letters to the people living close to the rivers or the sea and invited them to join the A VM (automated voice messaging) system Anyone choosing to take up this free service will receive a recorded message directly to their home, business or page telling them of the level of warning, giving them as much time as possible to carry out their flood plan and save items that cannot be replaced if lost or damaged, such as photographs or children's favorite toys.
57. Choose the correct statements from the following according to the passage.
a. Many people lost their lives in the flood in 1953.
b. The Flood Warning system was already in use in 1953.
c. Flood defences can stop all flooding.
d. The Environment Agency began to warn people of flood in 1995.
e. Floodline was created after the Easter Floods of 1998.
A . a, b, c B. b, c, d C. a, c, e D. a, d, e
58. What does the underlined word" pager" mean in the passage?
A.A boy employed to carry luggage in hotels.
B. A piece of equipment designed to receive and show messages.
C. A page of papers written to offer messages.
D. A person invited to write pages of messages.
59. People can easily get information and advice about flood any time of the day from .
A. automatic messaging system
B. Floodline 0845 988 1188
C. the Flood Warning team in Kent
D. automated voice messaging system
60. The best title for this passage may probably be .
A. Environment Agency
B. Technology In Flood Defences
C. Flood Warning System
D. Easter Floods

Dear Friends,
As we all know, we are what we eat. Therefore, it’s very common among us students. Some of us often go to school without breakfast; some like to have snacks; some others are particular about food; and still some eat or drink too much. All these bad habits will surely do harm to our health.
To keep fit, we should have various healthy diets, which generally include proper amounts of fish, meat, vegetables, fruit as well as main food. Besides, we’d better have meals regularly.
In my opinion, we should try to develop healthy eating habits to build up a strong body. Only in this way, can we have enough energy to study well.
