第一节．阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
Every day we go to school and listen to the teacher, and the teacher will ask us some
questions. Sometimes, the classmates will ask for your opinions of the work of the class. When you are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics, remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying. You are not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat with friends—you are in a slightly unnatural situation where a large group of people will remain silent, waiting to hear what you have to say. You must speak so that they can hear you—loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout or appearing to force yourself.
Remember, too, that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your school or a government official who might meet you. The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease (not worried) but the situation is somewhat different from that of an ordinary conversation. You must take special care that you can be heard.
41. When you speak to the class, you should speak ________.
A. as slowly as possible B. in a low voice C. loudly D. forcefully
42. Usually, when you speak to the class, the class is ________.
A. noisy B. quiet C. having a rest D. serious
43. The situation in the class is _________that in your house.
A. not very different from B. sometimes the same as
C. sometimes not the same as D. not the same as
44. If you are having a conversation with an official, the most important thing for you is____.
A. to show your ability B. to be very gentle
C. to make sure that you can be heard D. to put the official at ease
45. The main idea of this passage is _______.
A. that we should talk in different ways in different situations
B. that we must speak loudly
C. that we must keep silent at any time
D. that we must talk with the class
B
A story from the Bible tells of old Babylon, where the men decided to build a tower that would touch the sky． But God was unhappy, and he made them speak different languages． They couldn't understand each other, so their dream never came true．
Yet the dream remains alive: if all men speak the same language, they can do anything． L．L． Zamenhof from Poland was among the men who pursue this dream． He developed Esperanto (世界语) between 1877 and 1885．
As the most successful man-made world language, it is spoken by over two million people around the world．Last month, the World Esperanto Congress (大会), dealing with language rights, ended in Sweden．The 2004 conference will be held in Beijing． Most Esperanto speakers are in Central and Eastern Europe and in East Asia, particularly Chinese mainland．
Esperanto has two advantages．First, it's easy．Each letter has exactly one sound and there are just 16 basic grammar rules．The second advantage is that it belongs to no one country． But Esperanto has only reached a small number of people compared with natural languages widely used around the world—such as English or Chinese． While these languages are deeply connected with their nations and cultures, Esperanto doesn't have this background．
Will Esperanto really become a global language It remains a question．
46．The writer tells us a story at the beginning to _________．
A．explain why men have been making the effort to create a language shared by all
B．explain why men now speak different languages
C．show the relationship between man and God
D．prove that language is very important
47．What does the underlined word "pursue" in the second paragraph mean
A．"Realize"． B．"Work for"． C．"Be against"． D． "Follow"．
48．What is the basic difference between Esperanto and English
A．More people speak English than Esperanto． B．Esperanto words are easier to spell．
C．Esperanto has fewer grammar rules. D．Esperanto is not supported by any country or culture.
49．What does the story mainly talk about
A．Advantages and disadvantages of Esperanto．B．Men's dream of sharing the same language．
C．The most successful planned language——Esperanto．
D．Comparison of Esperanto and other languages like English and Chinese．

The oldest stone buildings in the world are the pyramids. They have stood for nearly 5,000 years, and it seems likely that they will continue to stand for thousands of years yet. There are over eighty of them scattered along the banks of the Nile, some of which are different in shape from the true pyramids. The most famous of these are the“Step” pyramid and the“ Bent” pyramid.
Some of the pyramids still look as much alike as they must have been when they were built thousands of years ago. Most of the damage suffered by the others has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or, more often, for stone to use in modern buildings. The dry climate of Egypt has helped to keep the pyramids in good condition, and their very shape has made them less likely to fall into ruin. These are good reasons why they can still be seen today, but perhaps the most important is that they were planned to last forever.
The “Step”pyramid had to be on the west side of the Nile, the side on which the sun set. This was for spiritual reasons. It also had to stand well above the level of the river to protect it against the regular floods. It could not be too far from the Nile, however, as the stones to build it needed to be carried in boats down the river to the nearest point. Water transport was, of course, much easier than land transport. The builders also had to find a rock base, which was not likely to crack under the great weight of the pyramid. Finally, it had to be near the capital, or better still, near the king' s palace so that he could visit it easily to personally check the progress being made on the final resting place for his body.
50. According to the passage, the “Step” pyramid_______.
A. is unlikely to fall into ruin in the near future B. was built on the sands along the Nile
C. is one that was built later than the true pyramids
D. is the most famous of the true pyramids
51. The most important reason why some pyramids remain in good condition is that______.
A. people have taken care of them B. it doesn’t rain often in Egypt
C. they were well designed D. the government has protected them from damage
52. Most of the damage to the pyramids has been caused by_______.
A. the regular floods B. the dry climate of Egypt
C. people searching for gold D. people in search of building materials
53. The Egyptians built the pyramids along the banks of the Nile because_______.
A. they believed in their god
B. it was difficult to find a large rock base far from the Nile
C. the river helped a lot in the transport of building materials
D. it was not easy to choose a suitable place for the pyramids
D
Why do men die earlier than women The latest research makes it known that the reason could be that men's hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age.
The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that women's longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age.
"We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age," said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK.
"Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the age of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men," said Goldspink. "This is part of the ageing process. "
What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old woman's heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old one's.
"This gender difference might just explain why women live longer than men," said Goldspink.
They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease.
The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart, said Goldspink.
The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise. Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.
54. The underlined word "longevity" in the second paragraph probably refers to ____.
A. health B. long life C. ageing D. effect
55. The text mainly talks about ______.
A. men's heart cells B. women's ageing process
C. the gender difference D. hearts and long life
56. If you want to live longer, you should ______.
A. enable your heart to beat much faster B. find out the reason for ageing
C. exercise regularly to keep your heart healthy
D. prevent your cells from being lost
57. We can know from the passage that ______.
A. the reason why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart has been found out
B. scientists are on the way to finding out why the male heart loses more of the cells
C. the team has done something to prevent the male from suffering the greater loss
D. women over 70 could lose more heart cells than those at the age of 20

第二部分：阅读理解（共两节25小题；每小题2分，满分50分）
第一节．阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
Every day we go to school and listen to the teacher, and the teacher will ask us some
questions. Sometimes, the classmates will ask for your opinions of the work of the class. When you are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics, remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying. You are not taking part in a family conversation or having a chat with friends—you are in a slightly unnatural situation where a large group of people will remain silent, waiting to hear what you have to say. You must speak so that they can hear you—loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout or appearing to force yourself.
Remember, too, that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your school or a government official who might meet you. The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease (not worried) but the situation is somewhat different from that of an ordinary conversation. You must take special care that you can be heard.
41. When you speak to the class, you should speak ________.
A. as slowly as possible B. in a low voice C. loudly D. forcefully
42. Usually, when you speak to the class, the class is ________.
A. noisy B. quiet C. having a rest D. serious
43. The situation in the class is _________that in your house.
A. not very different from B. sometimes the same as
C. sometimes not the same as D. not the same as
44. If you are having a conversation with an official, the most important thing for you is____.
A. to show your ability B. to be very gentle
C. to make sure that you can be heard D. to put the official at ease
45. The main idea of this passage is _______.
A. that we should talk in different ways in different situations
B. that we must speak loudly
C. that we must keep silent at any time
D. that we must talk with the class
B
A story from the Bible tells of old Babylon, where the men decided to build a tower that would touch the sky． But God was unhappy, and he made them speak different languages． They couldn't understand each other, so their dream never came true．
Yet the dream remains alive: if all men speak the same language, they can do anything． L．L． Zamenhof from Poland was among the men who pursue this dream． He developed Esperanto (世界语) between 1877 and 1885．
As the most successful man-made world language, it is spoken by over two million people around the world．Last month, the World Esperanto Congress (大会), dealing with language rights, ended in Sweden．The 2004 conference will be held in Beijing． Most Esperanto speakers are in Central and Eastern Europe and in East Asia, particularly Chinese mainland．
Esperanto has two advantages．First, it's easy．Each letter has exactly one sound and there are just 16 basic grammar rules．The second advantage is that it belongs to no one country． But Esperanto has only reached a small number of people compared with natural languages widely used around the world—such as English or Chinese． While these languages are deeply connected with their nations and cultures, Esperanto doesn't have this background．
Will Esperanto really become a global language It remains a question．
46．The writer tells us a story at the beginning to _________．
A．explain why men have been making the effort to create a language shared by all
B．explain why men now speak different languages
C．show the relationship between man and God
D．prove that language is very important
47．What does the underlined word "pursue" in the second paragraph mean
A．"Realize"． B．"Work for"． C．"Be against"． D． "Follow"．
48．What is the basic difference between Esperanto and English
A．More people speak English than Esperanto． B．Esperanto words are easier to spell．
C．Esperanto has fewer grammar rules. D．Esperanto is not supported by any country or culture.
49．What does the story mainly talk about
A．Advantages and disadvantages of Esperanto．B．Men's dream of sharing the same language．
C．The most successful planned language——Esperanto．
D．Comparison of Esperanto and other languages like English and Chinese．

The oldest stone buildings in the world are the pyramids. They have stood for nearly 5,000 years, and it seems likely that they will continue to stand for thousands of years yet. There are over eighty of them scattered along the banks of the Nile, some of which are different in shape from the true pyramids. The most famous of these are the“Step” pyramid and the“ Bent” pyramid.
Some of the pyramids still look as much alike as they must have been when they were built thousands of years ago. Most of the damage suffered by the others has been at the hands of men who were looking for treasure or, more often, for stone to use in modern buildings. The dry climate of Egypt has helped to keep the pyramids in good condition, and their very shape has made them less likely to fall into ruin. These are good reasons why they can still be seen today, but perhaps the most important is that they were planned to last forever.
The “Step”pyramid had to be on the west side of the Nile, the side on which the sun set. This was for spiritual reasons. It also had to stand well above the level of the river to protect it against the regular floods. It could not be too far from the Nile, however, as the stones to build it needed to be carried in boats down the river to the nearest point. Water transport was, of course, much easier than land transport. The builders also had to find a rock base, which was not likely to crack under the great weight of the pyramid. Finally, it had to be near the capital, or better still, near the king' s palace so that he could visit it easily to personally check the progress being made on the final resting place for his body.
50. According to the passage, the “Step” pyramid_______.
A. is unlikely to fall into ruin in the near future B. was built on the sands along the Nile
C. is one that was built later than the true pyramids
D. is the most famous of the true pyramids
51. The most important reason why some pyramids remain in good condition is that______.
A. people have taken care of them B. it doesn’t rain often in Egypt
C. they were well designed D. the government has protected them from damage
52. Most of the damage to the pyramids has been caused by_______.
A. the regular floods B. the dry climate of Egypt
C. people searching for gold D. people in search of building materials
53. The Egyptians built the pyramids along the banks of the Nile because_______.
A. they believed in their god
B. it was difficult to find a large rock base far from the Nile
C. the river helped a lot in the transport of building materials
D. it was not easy to choose a suitable place for the pyramids
D
Why do men die earlier than women The latest research makes it known that the reason could be that men's hearts go into rapid decline when they reach middle age.
The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that women's longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age.
"We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age," said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK.
"Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the age of 20 and 70, one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men," said Goldspink. "This is part of the ageing process. "
What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old woman's heart could perform almost as well as a 20-year-old one's.
"This gender difference might just explain why women live longer than men," said Goldspink.
They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease.
The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart, said Goldspink.
The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise. Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.
54. The underlined word "longevity" in the second paragraph probably refers to ____.
A. health B. long life C. ageing D. effect
55. The text mainly talks about ______.
A. men's heart cells B. women's ageing process
C. the gender difference D. hearts and long life
56. If you want to live longer, you should ______.
A. enable your heart to beat much faster B. find out the reason for ageing
C. exercise regularly to keep your heart healthy
D. prevent your cells from being lost
57. We can know from the passage that ______.
A. the reason why ageing takes a greater loss on the male heart has been found out
B. scientists are on the way to finding out why the male heart loses more of the cells
C. the team has done something to prevent the male from suffering the greater loss
D. women over 70 could lose more heart cells than those at the age of 20
