假如你是一个高中生。一年前，你去英国一所学校读书。回国后，你被英文报纸 Shanghai Star 邀请写一篇文章，讲述你在英国学习和生活的经历。主要内容如下：
作息时间 9：00—3：30
教室和学生 去不同的教室上不同的课。每节课的学生不固定。平均每个班级有29人。
课余活动 午饭后，可以去踢足球；有时坐在草地上休息。
家庭作业 不多，但全都是英文，不容易看懂。
饮食 主食以后还要吃许多餐后甜点。
注意：1．短文应包括表格中所提供的主要信息，并做适当发挥，使短文内容连贯和完整；
2．100词左右。
Going to a British high school for one year was an unforgettable experience. I was very happy about the school hours there, because school starts around 9 am and ends about 3:30 pm.
In our class there were 29 students. This is about the average size for British schools. We　had to move to different classrooms for different classes and had different students in some classes.
I found homework there was not as heavy as back in China, but it was a bit challenging,　for all the homework was in English.
I missed Chinese food a lot. British food is very different. British people eat lots of desserts after their main meal. After lunch, we usually played football. Sometimes I just relaxed on the grass.
I was very lucky to experience this different way of life, and I hope that someday I can go　back and study there again.

Thanks to Hope Project, great changes have taken place in a western country school.
This school used to be called Lijiazhuang School. Most of its pupils left school because their families were too poor to pay for their education. The only unsafe schoolhouse had to be used as classrooms. And all the teachers shared one room. The playground was nothing but an open land.
Things are different now. All the children who left school have come back to continue their studies. In the schoolyard stands a two-storeyed teaching building. There are rooms for music, art, and computer teaching. The school is well equipped with sports goods.
The Hope Project benefits the school a great deal. For this reason, it was renamed Hope School.

最近，你校学生会组织学生开展了一场讨论，主题是：What is the beauty standard。假如你是学生会主席，请根据下表中学生讨论的结果写一份材料并谈谈对以上主题的看法。
注意：
1.短文必须包括表中的内容。
2.可适当发挥，词数不少于100。
3.短文开头已给出，不计入总词数。
参考词汇：介绍信－a letter of recommendation；
内在美－spiritual beauty
学生观点1 一副好脸孔就是一封介绍信 理由：在社交、竞争、求职等方面有着不可低估的作用
学生观点2 漂亮不能当饭吃 理由：追求外表的美而放弃内在的美不是真正的美
你的看法 标准因社会、文化和国度不同而产生差异。无论直观的相貌上的美还是心灵上长久的美，这些对美的美的定义都是不无道理的。
What does beauty really mean Everybody has their own definitions.
One possible version:
What does beauty really mean Everybody has their own definitions.
Some students think that a good face is a letter of recommendation. Good appearance often makes a big difference in social communication, competition, job hunting and so on. Not only can it help you become more confident, but also it makes you impressive. Physical beauty is likely to draw much attention.
Some students have different opinions. They hold the idea that good appearance makes no difference. Spiritual beauty is more important. A beautiful person is not necessarily one with a good looking , but one with a kind heart.
As is known to all, the standard of beauty changes with different societies, cultures and nations. Some hold the point that the beautiful appearance is of great importance, which is visible to all. Others have the idea that the spiritual beauty is the loveliest one, which lasts long. However different their opinions might be, they are ass acceptable.

The job was hard and trifling. None the less, it was very important.
When the 21st Universiade closed, I completed my job successfully. Now I feel very proud of it and decide to work as a volunteer again when Beijing holds the 2008 Olympic Games.

每年高考之前总会出现“高考移民”，他们设法到录取分数线较低的省份参加考试。你班同学就此展开讨论，提出了以下两种相反意见：
赞同 反对
想上好大学，应予理解；录取分数不一，对高分地区学生不公平；学生也是公民，应该有平等的机会。 1.会增加当地的升学压力；2.对当地学生不利，也是一种不公平；这样特别有利于有权势者，对普通百姓又是一种不公平
请就此给“学生英语报（Student Times）”写一篇报道，说明上述讨论情况。
说明：1.词数100左右;
2.标题和开头段已经给出。
Students on the Move for Their Exams—Fair or Unfair

Students on the Move for Their Exams —Fair or Unfair
Every year some students from high-score areas move to other provinces to take the Entrance Examination of the Colleges. Recently we had a discussion about this.
Some think it understandable for the students to move to other places to take the exam since
they want to be able to study at a better university. And it seems to be the right of a student as a
citizen to have such a chance, especially those from an area of high entry score. Otherwise they
have to get much higher scores to enter a university than those who are from a low entry-score
province.
Others take a quite different stand. They think those who are from high score areas would
add pressure to the areas they move to, which also means an unfair situation to those students in
low-score areas. What’s more, it seems to be just favourable to the powerful and not fair to
ordinary people. So they don’t think it a good thing.

3．参考词汇：弱势群体 inferior group
We have had a class meeting today on whether we should give money to beggars and we have different opinions….
We have had a class meeting today on whether we should give money to beggars and we have different opinions.
Some believe that we should give money to beggars because some of them are old people, who can’t live on their own. Among them are also some students who have dropped out of school because their families are so poor. And we can also see some disabled people. So we should give money to those who need our help badly.
On the other hand, however, many more students think we shouldn’t give them money because most of the beggars beg not because they are poor but because they want to make money more easily. They are not real beggars. Besides, to give money would encourage them to be lazy even if they have the ability to work.
In general, we should help the people of the inferior group but when we give money we should be careful.

Senior middle school graduates of our school have different opinions on how to choose their courses and universities.
About 35%of the students believe the choice should be based on their own interests. They say interest is the mother of success. It is a miserable thing to have to spend most of your time studying what you have no interest in.
Most student（around 45%）,however, insist that main consideration should be given to the needs of the society, for, they argue, not everyone can find the job they like best. Besides, interest can be born and lost.
Interestingly, there are about 20% of the students who find it difficult to make a choice and would rather depend on their parents or teachers to make a decision for them.

It’s my opinion that students should place their study, health and safety before other things．As for friendship, we can readily find it in our classmates and other people around us.

In this way , they will not break the traffic rules again .

Possible version:
The idea of sustainable development has been accepted by the world. How to keep sustainable development is a big problem facing our planet.
The present situation is worrying. First, natural resources are becoming more and more scarce. Second, as some people are not aware of the importance of the environmental protection, the problems with it remain extremely serious to some degree. The gap between the rich and the poor has the tendency to become wider and wider.
To our great joy, many countries have taken action. On one hand, they have made relevant laws and regulations and put large amounts of money to the environmental protection.
One the other hand, popularized education as well as international cooperation is being carried out.
As for myself, I should take the responsibility to devote myself to sustainable development, because we have only one home.

However, space travel also has some disadvantages. It uses up too much money which could be spent in other ways. What’s more, the idea of man living on other planets is unrealistic. Space travel could be dangerous, too.
In a word, though there are the disadvantages, I think space travel is a good thing. It is important for man to explore and learn about the universe.江苏省石庄高级中学06届高考二轮复习专项练习

Possible version:
A man is using water as much as he likes washing his clothes regardless of the notice pinned above “Save the water Please.”
As we see, water is the source of life. But there is very limited available water resources in our world, so we shouldn’t waste it. Of course, we have to use it to drink, cook, wash, clean and etc. But we must remember not to use it extravagantly. If we didn’t stop such wasteful habits, we would cut off the development of the world and the human life. And what will our next generation do

It’s Time to Reduce Loads
Nowadays it is often talked about that there are three things that people can’t afford．It is expensive to buy houses, to pay for the children’s education and to see the doctor. It is really true about this. As is shown in the picture, some people are burdened with these high expenses all their lives. Some people even get into heavy debt even though they work hard and make every effort to earn money or save every coin. Some people have to say good-bye to the doctor because of lack of money or they have a heavy debt load.
In my opinion, the government should build up a perfect system to meet the basic need of living. The expense on houses, tuition and medicine should be cut down so that everyone can enjoy a better life.

How to Make a Chinese Gift Packet
Before making a red packet, you’ll have to get everything ready for it. For example you should have got a sheet of red paper, a scissor and paper glue.
First, cut the red paper into a shape like the diagram above with a scissor. Now fold over flap A and apply a little glue along its right edge. Fold over flap B and press it firmly onto the glued edge of flap A．Apply a little glue to flap C and press it firmly onto flap B．You now have your Chinese gift packet! Flap D is the flap of the envelope and a little glue can be applied to close it -- but don't forget to put your gift money inside first!
If you want to make your packet particularly nice, you can decorate your red packet with an appropriate symbol, greeting or lucky sign, like the one pictured on the right.

Health Care
From the picture, we can see that the old man was suffering from heart trouble. He had to go to hospital for medical care. When he saw the medical bill from the hospital, he was so shocked that he couldn’t stand on his feet. It was beyond what he could afford． It’s really another heart attack for him.
At present, many people can’t afford heavy medical fees. Because of this, they may get into deep debt in order to get proper medical care or have to bear the pain of diseases. Worse still, some have to wait for the last day of their life.
We strongly call for the medical expenses to be reduced． The government should build up a favorable medical system. Everyone could enjoy their life as long as possible.

October 15 Friday Fine
This afternoon when I was on my way home from school, I found a building on fire. I rushed to a nearby telephone box and called the firefighters.
Several minutes later, the firefighters arrived and tried their best to control the fire. With the help of the firefighters, a lot of people left the building safely. At that time a foreign woman came in a hurry to tell the firefighters something. But they couldn't understand what she said. I went to the woman and asked her what was happening. She told me that her daughter was still in the building. I told the firefighters about it at once. They immediately ran into the building. Two minutes later, they rushed out with the little girl.
The woman was very thankful to me and the firefighters for the help.江苏省石庄高级中学06届高考二轮复习专项练习

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，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
A severely handicapped teenager who cannot walk,talk or hold a paintbrush has won a place at Oxford to study fine art.
Hero Joy Nightingale,16,who communicates through hand movements,is to be given assistants to paint and sculpt on her behalf.Her mother Pauline Reid “translated for” her daughter during interviews for the place at Magdalen College.
The teenager is the most severely handicapped student ever to be granted a place at Oxford.She suffers from “locked-in syndrome”,a profound apraxia caused by brain damage that renders her body useless and her voice mute.
She is unlikely ever to be able to walk,feed or care for herself but,thanks to the efforts of her mother,she can communicate.When Hero was four,Pauline devised a complicated system of hand gestures that equate to the alphabet.
A spokesperson for Oxford said,“The university welcomes applications from students with disabilities.In cases where students are profoundly disabled,there may be many issues that need to be carefully addressed before an individual can take up a place,such as establishing how the student can best be taught and examined.”
Hero,who suffers almost daily epileptic fits and has a hole in her heart,has not attended school since she was six.She has been taught at home by her mother and father,the pro-vice chancellor of Kent University.
Peter Giles,her art tutor until last year,said she has a genuine talent for art.“She is ferociously gifted.We would sit together and her mother would grab her daughter’s hand and then we would begin work,”he said.
Together,they built several modern sculptures from plaster and metal.“The instructions would take a while to decipher.But eventually,they would come,and eventually make sense.”
Hero’s classes will be held at the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art.
56.Hero communicates with others _________.
A.through common hand movements
B.by typing words on computer
C.through a complicated system of hand gestures devised by her mother
D.by drawing pictures on a board
57.According to the passage,how does Hero paint or sculpt
A.She instructs her assistants to paint or sculpt through hand movements.
B.She gives instructions,and her mother paints or sculpts following her instructions.
C.She paints or sculpts with her own hands.
D.She gives instructions,her mother “translates” them,and her assistants paint or sculpt according to the “translations”.
58.From the story we can infer _________.
A.Oxford welcomes any handicapped student who is good at fine art
B.Hero has not attended school since she was six
C.Hero is gifted in fine art
D.Hero is a strong-minded girl who loves life very much
59.Which of the following is NOT true
A.Hero is the most seriously handicapped student ever to be admitted to Oxford.
B.Oxford will admit a disabled student without any requirements.
C.Hero has been taught by her parents at home for10 years.
D.Hero is not able to walk,talk or hold a paintbrush.

When I come across a good essay in reading newspapers,I am often inclined to cut and keep it.But just as I am about to do so I find the article on the opposite side is as much interesting.It may be a discussion of the way to keep in good health,or advice about how to behave and conduct oneself in society.If I cut the front essay,the opposite one is bound to suffer damage,leaving out half of it or keeping the text without the subject.As a result,the scissors would stay before they start,or halfway done when I find out the regretful consequence that inevitably causes my repentance.
Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time,both deserving your attention.You can only take up one of them,the other has to wait or be given up.But you know the future is unpredictable—the changed situation may not allow you to do what is left behind.Thus you are caught in a fix and feel sad.How come that nice opportunities and brilliant ideas should gather around all at once It may happen that your life changes dramatically on your preference of one alternative to the other.
In fact that is what life is like:we are often faced with the two opposite aspects of a thing which are both desirable like newspaper cutting.It often occurs that our attention is drawn to one thing only after we are engaged in another.The former may be more important than the latter and give rise to a divided mind.I still remember a philosopher’s remarks:“When one door shuts,another opens in life.”So a casual or passive choice may not be a bad one.
Whatever we do in our lifetime,wherever life’s storm tosses us,there must be something we can achieve,some shore we can land,that opens up new vistas to us.Don’t forget God always keeps an alternative door open for every one.While the front door is closed,there must be another open for you.
60.When the writer finds a good article in reading newspapers,_________.
A.he is always glad to cut and keep it
B.he is always hesitant to cut and keep it
C.he often has a desire to cut and keep it

A.he fails to choose a good essay
B.he fails to cut the two essays on both sides well
C.he finds the essay on the opposite side is better
D.he finds that he just keeps the text without the subject

A.You’re trapped in a trouble.
B.You find it difficult to fix something.
C.You are trapped in a situation where you can’t decide which choice is better.

Life on-line can be a much richer experience when you aren’t restricted to just written words and still pictures.Even if you’re new to the Net,you’ve probably heard about multimedia on-line—listening to audio,watching animations and videos,even playing in three-dimensional space.Sound and movement make information come alive.
To experience it,you’ll need special pieces of software called plug-ins.The term “plug-in” refers to a small,add-on piece of software which extends the capabilities of your web browser,like Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Explorer,turning your computer into a radio or TV.
When you arrive at a web page which contains a file requiring a plug-in which you don’t have,you will usually receive a message asking if you want to get it by downloading it and installing it into your computer.Most of the time,the installation will be automatic.
Occasionally,you’ll run into a downloaded file which needs to be decompressed or un-zipped before installation.Once installed,plug-ins run automatically,without you having to do anything.
Many multimedia controls still need to be obtained from the developer but are installed automatically.
Shockwave is a good example of this.All you need to do is go to the Macromedia site and click on the link to install the ActiveX control.The rest happens automatically.The next time you go to a “Shocked” website,the Shockwave control loads and plays the movie.
Most plug-ins and controls can be downloaded for free on the Internet,although not all will work with every system.Some of them,for instance,only work with Windows 95.
64.Plug-ins can help us to do all of the following except _________.
A.listening to music
B.watching animations and videos
C.playing three-dimensioned games
D.searching for information on the net
65.The correct explanation about “plug-in” is _________.
A.a radio or TV connected with a computer
B.a small,add-on piece of hardware which improves your web browser
C.a small,add-on piece of software which can turn your computer into a radio or TV
D.a small,add-on piece of software like Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Explorer
66.When we go to a “shocked” website a second time,_________.
A.we should go to the Macromedia site and click on the link to install the Active X control
B.the shockwave control loads itself and plays the movie for us
C.we will be asked whether to download the shockwave control or not
D.we have to buy the shockwave control and load it
67.Most of the time,how can we get a plug-in before automatic installation
A.We have to buy it from the developer.
B.We have to borrow it from the developer.
C.We have to rent it from the developer.
D.We can obtain from the developer without paying.

Drinking wine in moderation improves the IQ and may boost mental agility in old people,according to Japanese researchers.
A study of the effects of alcohol on the middle aged and elderly found the average IQ of men who drink wine (whether made from grapes or rice) was 3.3 points higher than that of men who do not imbibe.
Similarly,the IQ of women drinkers showed an improvement of 2.5 points over their teetotal sisters.The findings are part of an ongoing study by Japan’s National Institute for Longevity into the links between human intelligence and what we eat and drink.
The tests measured general knowledge,powers of judgment and concentration in drinkers and non-drinkers over 40,all living in Aichi prefecture,central Japan,and sharing the same income level-roughly￡50 000 a year—and educational background.All were university graduates.
But while wine-drinkers appeared to be brighter,the same was not true of those who drank deer,shochu (a local gin) and whisky.
“The benefits of wine and sake (rice wine) in raising IQ could be due to substances they contain,such as polyphenol,which are believed to slow the ageing process,” Hiroshi Shimokata,head of epidemiology research,said.
It was premature to conclude,he added,that drinking wine or sake slowed the deterioration of brain functions in the elderly,or warded off senility.The research does,however,suggest that this is one way to stay mentally alert longer.
But there is a sobering caveat:drinking too much may make you dimmer.“People who drink more than 540 milli-litres (a little over a pint) of sake or wine a day had lower intelligence quotients than those who did not drink at all,”Hiroshi Shimokata said.“Moderation is very important.”
68.Which one is the topic of the passage
A.Drinking wine in a large amount improves the IQ of old people.
B.Drinking wine in a reasonable amount raises the IQ of old people.
C.Drinking wine in moderation does good to any one.
D.Drinking wine helps improve the IQ of women.
69.According to the passage,which of the following is NOT wrong
A.Every wine drinker’s IQ is 3.3 points higher than that of men who don’t drink.
B.The IQ of women drinker is 2.5 points lower than that of the non-drinking women.
C.Drinking beer and whisky cannot improve one’s IQ.
D.Drinking wine can only do good to the IQ of rich old people.
70.The reason why wine and sake can improve IQ is that _________.
A.wine and sake have special taste
B.wine and sake can make us excited
C.wine and sake contain substances considered to slow the ageing process
D.wine and sake contain something believed to prevent us from ageing
71.From the text,it seems that we can conclude _________.
A.the more wine we drink,the brighter we are
B.the less wine we drink,the brighter we are
C.drinking wine less than 540ml a day,we’ll become dimmer
D.drinking wine in moderation,we’ll become brighter

Of Chinese secondary school students top ten heroes,Mao Zedong,ranks number one and Olympic track gold medal winner,Liu Xiang,ranks fifth,according to a survey conducted by All-China Women’s Federation (ACWF).
Late Chinese leaders,Mao Zedong and Zhou Enlai,and revolutionary martyrs,Liu Hulan and Dong Cunrui,all have remained important heroes in the eyes of Chinese teenagers aged 13 to 18.

“The coexistence of old and new models in youth’s hearts reveal the new era’s character,” said Han Xiangjing,president of “China Women” magazine attached to ACWF.
The respondents also chose their parents as heroes,ranking number two.
“This reflects that young students’ selection standards of heroes have changed to be more human oriented,emotional and personalized,”Han said.
Reasons given by the surveyed students for this choice are:“parents are the people I love and indispensable to me”and“they consistently guide,encourage and support me.”
The survey was conducted in six provinces and cities across China,including Beijing,Shanghai,Henan,Shanxi,Liaoning and Hunan.Students completed 1018 questionnaires;443 polled were boys and 575 were girls.

阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
We know the effect calories have on your body.For each pound of weight that your body carries,it takes about 12 calories per pound per day to keep it alive.If you weigh 150 pounds,you therefore need about (150×12) 1800 calories per day to keep yourself alive and maintain that same weight.
If you were to eat more than 1800 calories per day,the surplus turns into fat.It takes about 3600 excess calories to make a pound of fat.Let's say that you were to eat,on average,2000 calories per day.That extra 200 calories per day is going to turn into fat.However,you will eventually hit a point of equilibrium(平衡，均衡) because as you gain weight,you need more calories to maintain that weight.So,a person eating an average of 2000 calories per day will hit equilibrium at (2000/12) 166.67 pounds.
So let's say that you eat,on average,2000 calories per day and reach equilibrium at 166 pounds.Then you go on a crash diet where you eat only 1000 calories per day for 60 days.You lose 16 pounds and reach your target weight of 150 pounds.But then you go right back to eating 2000 calories per day again.The graph below shows your eating pattern before,during and after the diet:
Note that the graph assumes that you,like most people,eat a random number of calories per day.Some days you are “good” and eat less,and some days you are “bad” and eat more,but the assumption is that it averages out to 2000 calories per day over the long run.
This graph shows what happens to your weight before,during and after the diet:
The diet really takes the weight off.But the weight comes right back when you return to your “normal” eating pattern.The weight appears to come back so quickly because when you are at your lightest,you tend to gain more weight each day.The lighter you are,the fewer calories you need.If you only need 1500 calories per day and you're eating 2000,you're going to gain weight faster than if you need 1800 and you're eating 2000.
56.The passage is mainly about_________.
A.how to lose weight effectively
B.why the weight comes back so quickly once a person stops dieting
C.why a person puts on weight
D.how to keep a healthy diet
57.According to the text,a person weighing 120 pounds needs _________calories per day to keep the same weight.
A.1440 B.1800 C.2000 D.1000
58.Suppose all the following people take in 3000 calories every day.Who will gain weight fastest
A.A person who weighs 200 pounds. B.A person who weighs 180 pounds.
C.A person who weighs 150 pounds. D.A person who weighs 100 pounds.
59.What will the writer continue to discuss at the end of the text
A.Ways to keep the weight off. B.Ways to go on a diet.
C.Diseases caused by overweight. D.Proper diet to keep healthy.

There are new findings that not enough sleep may cause people to gain weight.Researchers say a lack of sleep can produce hormonal changes that increase feelings of hunger.
In one study,researchers in the United States examined information on more than 1000 people.The people had taken part in a long-term study of sleep disorders.
Some people slept less than five hours a night.They had 15 percent higher blood levels of a hormone called ghrelin than people who slept eight hours.And they had 15 percent less of the hormone leptin.Experts say ghrelin helps make people feel hungry;leptin makes you feel full.
The scientists say these hormonal changes may be a cause of obesity in Western societies.They note the combination that limitation is common and is widely available.
The results were not affected by how much people exercised.People who are awake longer have more time to burn energy.But the researchers say loss of sleep may increase hunger especially for high-calorie foods,so people gain weight.It seems that,for survival,the body may be designed to store more fat during times with less sleep.
Researchers from Stanford University in California and the University of Wisconsin did the study.They found that the best amount of sleep for weight control is 7.7 hours a night.
The Public Library of Science published the findings in its journal Medicine.Internet users can read the full study,free of charge,at plos.org.
67.Which of the following shows the right way in which lack of sleep causes weight gain
A.more ghrelin and less leptin→feeling hungry→eating more
B.feeling hungry→eating more→more ghrelin and less leptin
C.burning more energy→feeling hungry→eating more
D.more leptin and less ghrelin→feeling full→less exercise
68.The two words missing in the 4th paragraph should be “_________”and “_________”.
A.weight;sleep B.sleep;food C.hunger;food D.weight;work
Which would be a point supported by the reported findings
A.The more you sleep,the farther away you are from obesity.
B.Those who don't sleep at all are the most likely to put on weight.
C.Sleeping contributes more to obesity than eating.
D.It's not wise to use sleep hours for exercise.
70.When you sleep 7.7 hours a night,you will_________.
A.have your ghrelin level rise and leptin level drop
B.have your leptin level rise and ghrelin level drop
C.have your ghrelin and leptin levels properly balanced
D.feel neither hungry nor full
71.The writer wrote this passage to_________.
A.make a news report B.offer a piece of medical advice
C.make an advertisement D.keep a record of the research findings

Since long ago,greeting cards have been considered a time-saver.More than 150 years ago,a busy Englishman,Sir Henry,asked a friend to design a card so that he didn't have to labour to write holiday letters to his friends at the end of the year.Those paper cards are now the tradition.
But time,like sunlight,is still in short supply for December.That's why the Internet is ready to make a change in holiday greeting customs.Already,those,who are always busy,like sending video greetings by e-mail.So,don't be surprised to find a lively card in your electronic mail box at the end of the year or at any time you should have one.
A recent survey by the Shared Greetings Company found 50 percent of all the Internet users will send online cards especially during the holiday seasons.“That is a lot easier,and it is lively,”said Carol,a New Yorker,who had stopped at the Shared Greetings Company demonstration() online.With her children's help,she sent her first e-card before Thanksgiving Day.“It was the first time I had done something like this;it's quite enjoyable,”she said.
“I will send online Christmas cards to my friends,”said Marcos,a 22-year-old student.“It costs so little and you can even send numbers of greetings at a time.”But he added “the e-card also has its limits,and I don't think it is ready to replace the paper card for the more formal or traditional occasions.For some people,I would rather buy paper cards and mail them traditionally.I believe it is more personal and respectful in that way,”he said.
Well,for those who are very busy but still prefer to do a lot of greetings to different receivers in the holiday season,the Internet may have another way.“Now you can use the Net to decide and send as many as 50 beautiful cards,which allows the buyer to choose the inside saying,as well as the ink colour and typeface,only costing about 30 minutes,”said Julie,vice-president of marketing for an electronic card company-Hallmark Company.“And if you are in less of a hurry,you can spend another 30 minutes sitting in your home or office to create a photo card,showing off your kids,your pets or even your new house-anything as your favorite design for your relatives and friends.”
72.How can we understand “But time,like sunlight,is still in short supply for December”in Paragraph 2
A.December cannot supply enough time for people because the sunlight in this month is short.
B.People are always busy at the end of the year,so time is precious like the sunlight in winter.
C.Time is short at the end of the year,like the sunlight in December.
D.Time passes quickly like the sunlight in winter as December comes.
73.Why are more and more people ready to send e-cards instead of the traditional cards
A.People want to do something new by e-mail.
B.People can buy and send e-cards for free.
C.Sending e-cards is cheaper and can save more time.
D.E-cards are more lovely and lively than paper cards.
74.According to the 22-year-old student,he would probably mail e-cards to everyone except_________.
A.the members of his family
B.his girlfriend
C.the teachers who have taught him
D.his schoolmates
75.If you are quite busy,but having many greetings to send,which of the following is your best choice
A.Ordering a lot of cards you like online and sending them from the post office.
B.Getting as many cards from your electronic mail box and mailing them on the Net.
C.Sitting and writing lots of beautiful cards at home and sending them just in a traditional way.
D.Choosing personalized cards in numbers and mailing them directly on the Net.

A
I was six when I joined my father and two brothers at sunrise in the hayfields of Eufaula,Oklahoma.By the time I was eight I was helping Dad fix up low-income rent properties.He gave me a penny for every nail I pulled out of old boards.
I got my first real job,at JM’s restaurant in town,when I was 12.My main responsibilities were cleaning tables and washing dishes,but sometimes I helped cook.
Every day after school I would head to JM’s and work until ten.On Saturdays I worked from two until eleven.At that age it was unlucky going to work and watching my friends run off to swim or play.I didn’t necessarily like work,but I love what working allowed me to have.Because of my job I was always the one buying when my friends and I went to the local bar Tastee Freez.This made me proud.
Word that I was honest and hard-working got around town.A local clothing store offered credit to me although I was only in the seventh grade.I immediately charged a $68 sports coat and a $22 pair of trousers.I was making only 65 cents an hour,and I was already $90 in debt!So I learned early the danger of easy credit.I paid it off as soon as I could.
My first job taught me discipline,responsibility and brought me a level of personal satisfaction few of my friends had experienced.As by father,who worked three jobs,once told me,“If you understand sacrifice and commitment,there are not many things in life you can’t have.”How right he was!
56.When the author was a child,he was made to help his father work because_________.

57.At the age of 12,the author got a job at a restaurant and often worked till late at night because_________.
A.he liked that work
B.he didn’t like playing
C.he was hard-working
D.he felt rewarded by doing that work
58.When the author was in the seventh grade,he was in debt because_________.
A.he did not work any more
B.he bought clothes on credit
C.he was charged too much for the sports coat
D.he made little money at that time
59.What does the author want to tell the reader by this text
A.If you know sacrifice and responsibility,you can have many things in life.
B.Children from poor families usually have a very unhappy childhood.
C.Children could be made to work and earn some money by themselves.

Manhattan Island is surrounded on the east by the East and Harlem Rivers and on the west by the North and Hudson Rivers.It links with the other four towns which make up New York City and with New Jersey are by means of subways,underground tunnels and bridges which lead into Manhanttan from the surrounding area.
The Brooklyn Bridge was the first suspension bridge to link Brooklyn to Manhanttan.It is also the second oldest bridge in New York.The architect was John Augustus Roebling,who was the chief engineer of the suspended Railroad Bridge at Niagara Falls.
Misfortune accompanied the building of the bridge,which took place from 1869 to 1883.The architect died as a result of an accident early during the construction.His son,Washington Roebling,carried on his father’s work,using the most advanced engineering techniques of the day.He also fell ill during the construction of the bridge and was obliged to direct the work on it from an apartment window overlooking the site.
Since its construction the Brooklyn Bridge has remained a busy and important passage in New York.
The Brooklyn Bridge is 6775 feet long and 1595 feet wide.The suspended part is 3450 feet long and 85 feet wide.It has a clearance of 133 feet above water level.Four huge cables extend across the bridge,supported by two towers,each 272 feet high.Each of these cables is made up of 5700 wires.

When in 1789，George Washington became the first president of the United States，there was no permanent(永久的)capital in which to house the government.During the Revolutionary War seven different cities had served as the national capital.In addition，members of congress(国会)could not agree as to where this permanent capital should be located.Some officials wanted it in the north，others wanted it in the south.Each of the states hoped that the capital might lie within its own state lines.At last it was decided that the capital should occupy a section(区域)by itself，separate from any of the states.The place chosen was situated on the Potomas River.The land belonged originally(原先地) to the state of Maryland，but Maryland agreed to the national government.The section was named the District of Columbia after Christopher Columbus.The city itself was named Washington，after George Washington.Work was begun on the new capital in 1791.In the year 1799 Congress occupied the new capital building at the same time the White House was opened as the home of all future presidents.

How Good Are US Drivers
The CBS-TV“National Drivers’ Test”，showed that many US drivers have a lot to learn.Here’s why.
CBS picked 1799 sample drivers to take the test in TV studios in New York，Philadelphia，Chicago，and Los Angeles.More than two out of five of the drivers failed the test.And the average score was the lowest passing mark—51 points out of a possible 80.
Chicago drivers did best with an average of 53 points.Los Angeles drivers came next with 52 points.New York and Philadelphia drivers got 50 points—a failing score.Drivers with 50 points or less were rated“poorly informed”by the judges.
Here are some of the test results:
1.Are men drivers better informed than women ones
Yes.Men averaged 52 points.Women got an average of 49.
2.Are older drivers better informed than younger drivers
No.Drivers under 26 averaged 52 points.Drivers from 27 to 45 averaged 51.Drives over 45 failed with a 48-point average.
3.Does education make a difference
Yes.College graduates averaged 52 points.High school graduates averaged 50.Those without high school diplomas(毕业证) got 48.And people who had taken driver education courses scored an average of 53 points—three more than those who hadn’t.
4.Does driving experience make a difference
Yes.Drivers with three or more years of experience averaged 51 points.Drivers with less experience averaged 49.
Here are some surprising facts brought out by the test:
1.More than one out of three drivers did not know that a blinking red light means a full stop.
2.Three out of ten drivers did not know that an octagonal(eight-sided)sign means stop.
3.More than two out of three drivers did not know what to do when being“tailgated(追尾)”.
The answer:slow down，drive to the right，and let the driver behind pass.
The results of the test were turned over to the National Safety Council(委员会).They will help future safety planning.
72.The author’s purpose is to_________.
A.prove that men are better drivers than women

The policeman on the beat moved up the avenue. The time was about ten an night, but freezing wind with a taste of rain had almost emptied the streets. Trying doors as he went, swinging his club with many clever movements, he turned now and then to set his watchful eye down the peaceful street. When about midway of a certain block, he suddenly slowed his walk. In the doorway of a closed store a man leaned, with an unlighted cigar in his mouth. As the policeman walked up to him, the man spoke up quickly.
“It’s all right, officer,” he said, confidently. “I’m just waiting for a friend. It’s an appointment made twenty years ago. Sounds a little funny to you, doesn’t it Well, I’ll explain. About that long ago there used to be a restaurant where this store stands—‘Big Joe’ Brady’s restaurant.”
“Until five years ago,” said the policeman. “It was torn down then.”
The man in the doorway struck a match and lit his cigar.
“I came a thousand miles to stand in this door tonight, and it’s worth,” said the man, “Twenty years ago tonight, I dined here at ‘Big Joe’ Brady’s with Jimmy Wells, my best friend. He and I were brought up here in New York, just like two brothers, together. I was eighteen and Jimmy was twenty. The next morning I was to start for the West to make my fortune. You couldn’t have dragged Jimmy out of New York; he thought it was the only place on earth. Well, we agreed that night that we would meet here again exactly twenty years from that date and time, no matter what our conditions might be or from what distance we might have to come. We figured that in twenty years each of us ought to have our fortunes made, whatever they were going to be.”
“It sounds pretty interesting,” said the policeman.

The Golden Egg
“I don’t want to write a story about girls! I don’t know anything about girls, ” Louisa May Alcott told her publisher, Mr. Niles. But she was desperate for money. She seemed to be the only one in her family who could make any money. Niles had asked her to write about something she knew, instead of the romantic adventure stories she had been writing. “So I plod away,” Alcott wrote, “though I don’t enjoy this sort of thing.” It was 1867, and the horrible Civil War was over. Now Alcott could turn her energy to making money.
Alcott wrote a simple story of life in her family, their pillow fights on Saturday nights and the amateur(业余的)plays they performed. “Our experiences may prove interesting, though I doubt it.” (“Good joke,” she wrote years later.) Her book described her days growing up with four sisters in a family that had no money. She sketched a loving mother who took time to be interested in each child, and she told of the death of a beloved sister. She portrayed her family and friends in her book Little Women. Finally, in July of 1868, she finished writing. With a sigh and a headache, she sent off all 102 handwritten pages of her book.
Niles thought the book was dull, and so did Alcott. But when she received her copies of the book, Alcott thought it seemed better than expected. “Not a bit sensational,” she wrote, “but simple and true. We really lived most of it.” Niles asked some girls to read Little Women, and they loved it. If the girls liked it, Alcott was satisfied.
In three months, all the copies of Little Women had sold. It was already time to print more books! Niles thought he could sell three or four hundred more copies. “An honest publisher and a lucky author made a dull book into a golden egg for an ugly duckling,” Alcott wrote in 1885. Later, with a great sigh of relief, she was able to write, “Paid off all the debts! Now I feel that I could die in peace. If my head holds out, I’ll do all I once hoped to do.”
63. Which of the following would be used to describe Alcott’s book
A. funny B. boring C. magic D. skillful
64. In which order did the following happen
A. a, b, e, d, c B. d, c, a, b, e
C. c, b, e, d, a D. d, c, e, b, a
a. Alcott began writing Little Women
b. Niles asked Alcott to write about girls
c. Alcott wrote romantic adventure stories
d. Alcott performed plays with her sisters
e. Niles was not pleased with Alcott’s work.
65. When she handed her first writing in, was ________.
A. sure of her success
B. happy about her work
C. unsatisfied with the work
D. unpleased with the publisher
66. Alcott took up writing as a job due largely to ______.
A. love B. poverty C. interest D. encouragement
67. We learn from the story that, after Little Women sold out, ____.
A. Alcott wrote another book
B. some girls started to read the book
C. Alcott paid off all her bills
D. Niles published hundreds of books girls liked

As you dash outdoors in the middle of winter, you might make it halfway down the block before realizing that your ears are freezing because you forgot your hat.
Now, scientists have shown that even though you’ve had an apparent memory lapse(丧失)，your brain never forgot what you should have done.
Memory works mainly by association(联想). For example, as you try to remember where you left your keys, you might recall you last had them in the living room, which reminds you that there was an ad for soap on television, which reminds you that you need soap, and so on. And then, as you’re heading out the door to buy soap, you remember that your keys are on the kitchen counter.
Your brain knew where the keys were all along, it just took a round-about way to get there.
Now, scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies are studying associative memory in monkeys to figure out just how this complicated process works.
First, the researchers trained a group of monkeys to remember arbitrary(任意的)pairs of symbols. The researchers showed the monkeys one symbol(cold weather)and then gave them the choice of two other symbols, one of which (a hat)would be associated with the first. A correct choice would earn them a sip of their favorite juice.
Most of the monkeys performed the test perfectly, but one kept making mistakes.
“We wondered what happened in the brain when the monkeys made the wrong choice, although they apparently learned the right pairing of symbols,” said study leader Thomas Albright.
Albright and his team observed signals from the nerve cells in the monkey’s inferior temporal cortex(ITC), an area of its brain used for visual(视觉)pattern recognition and for storing this type of memory.
As the monkey was deciding which symbol to choose, about a quarter of the activity in the ITC was due to the choice behavior.
Meanwhile, more than half of the activity was in a different group of nerve cells, which scientists believe represent the monkey’s memory of the correct symbol pairing, and surprisingly, these cells continued to fire even when the monkey chose the wrong symbol.
“In this sense, the cells ‘knew’ more than the monkeys let on in their behavior,” Albright said. “Thus, behavior may vary, but knowledge endures.”
68. The example of the keys and soap is given to explain the relationship between______.
A. memory lapse and human brain B. memory and association
C. memory and television ads D. memory and our daily life
69. Which of the following best explains the general idea of the text
A. Your brain may forget something, but not always.
B. Activity is a round-about way to memory.
C. Your brain remembers what you forget.
D. Monkeys have better memory than us.
70. The researchers believe the monkey that made the wrong choice________.
A. also knew the correct answer
B. had the worst memory
C. failed to see the objects well
D. had some trouble with its nerve system
71. The underlined word “endures” may best be replaced by ________.
A. disappears B. increases C. improves D. remains
E
Because of the stress and strains of modern life folks today would rather watch television than get together with neighbours. Their behaviour doesn’t mirror TV soaps like Coronation Street and East Enders.
The Street’s Ashley Peacock and Toyah Battersby know all their neighbours. But the Royal Mail survey shows that real-life under-35s wouldn’t dream of popping next door for a chat or to borrow a cup of sugar.
Three out of ten say they wouldn’t know their neighbours if they saw them in the street. The same proportion would only offer to help neighbours if absolutely necessary, while 31 percent don’t want to get to know them better. Twenty-six percent rarely or never speak to the person next door. Thirty-five percent only talk to neighbours occasionally, and six percent actively dislike them. The older generation are still sociable, with 70 percent of over-55s taking time to chat to people next door. The report says: “In the past, the British tradition of village green gossip(闲聊)between neighbours was celebrated worldwide. But there’s been a clear shift away from local links by the young generation.” Londoners are least likely to be neighbours, with a third rarely or never chatting over the garden fence. People in the Midlands —where 65 percent often speak to their neighbours—are most friendly.
Sociologist Jane Blakeman said: “People are working longer hours than ever before, and are traveling further to work. It leaves them far less time at home.”
72. Almost a third of young people______.
A. know their neighbours quite well
B. have no idea who lives next door to them
C. talk to their neighbours when they want to borrow something
D. spend time chatting with neighbours like their parents
73. It can be inferred that Ashley Peacock and Toyah Battersby are both_____.
A. important roles in a popular TV series
B. famous stars in TV programmes
C. old soap operas
D. members of royal family
74. Gossip among neighbours is still common among______.
A. people under 35 B. people between 35 and 55
C. people over 55 D. people of different ages
75. There is a difference between London and the rest of Britain mainly in that non-Londoners______.
A. would help their neighbours only when necessary
B. are less likely to have good relations with their neighbours
C. wouldn’t travel far and find more time to chat with neighbours
D. are more likely to keep up the old British tradition of having a chat over garden fence

A
As humans, we are also considered as animals sometimes! But unlike other animals, we have not had to fit the environment in which we live. Instead, we have been the shaper (改造者) of our environment and explorer of nature. While other animals must find a home, we have created our home wherever we are living. We have fitted ourselves in a variety of environments.
Our skill at doing this has been due to our imagination, creativity and enthusiasm. If we chose to live in the desert, we learned how to save water, build a home among the rocks and mountains and depend on animals rather than vegetables for our food. Sometimes it was necessary for us to follow the animals as they moved, in order not to lose our source of food.
Living in a place where there was plenty of rain and mild temperatures, we learned that we could plant a greater variety of crops, raise a few animals in a smaller, more contained area and not have to move our home. We have been able to live wherever we choose because we have not accepted the limitations of a particular environment, or rather, we have made the environment fit our needs.
56. Humans can live where they want to because they _________.
A. have enough materials to build homes
B. can use what exists in nature to fit their needs
C. have plenty of food from plants and animals everywhere
D. can find a home easily
57. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage
A. Animals had to fit their environment.
B. People who lived in the desert mainly ate meat.
C. Humans always had to follow the animals for food.
D. Environment was made to fit human needs.
58. The underlined part “mild temperatures ” means it is__________.
A. cold B. hot
C. sometimes cold and sometimes hot D. neither too cold nor too hot
59.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A. Humans and Nature.
B. Animals and Environments.
C. Protecting Nature.
D. Humans and Animals.

A new computer treatment is being used to deal with obesity (肥胖) in children.
Connected to a small dining set, consisting of scales and a plate, a mini computer teaches children how to eat and reminds them when to stop.
“In very fat people, hunger signals from the stomach to the brain stop functioning. But the new computer system teaches the children how to receive these messages again,” says Dr. Julian Hamilton-Shield, the Bristol University senior lecturer leading the treatment trials.
The computer, called a Mandometer, records and stores the weight loss from the plate when children eat. As the food is leaving the plate, a curve (曲线) is produced on the computer screen suggesting whether the child is eating too quickly.
“Children with weight problems often eat too quickly. We want them to eat steadily and slowly and the system teaches them to slow down. It’s a bit like retraining, ” says Hamilton-Shield.
Obesity now represents one of the major threats to the future health of children. About one in five boys and one in four girls aged two to fifteen in England are overweight. But so far no treatments have proven effective in treating children.
The Mandometer was developed in Sweden, but at present is experiencing further development at the University of Bristol, with ＄224,400 in funds from BUPA — a global health and care organization. The system could be on the market in two years time. At first, it would be managed by medical clinics.
60. The text is mainly written to explain ____________.
A. how a new computer treatment dealing with obesity works
B. why child obesity becomes a topic of people
C. how to lose weight with the help of computers
D. why a computer is effective in dealing with child obesity
61. The word “functioning” in paragraph 3 probably means __________.
A. eating B. working C. lasting D. losing
62. Obesity threats the health of children, which ___________.
A. people have not cared about
B. is nothing compared with other diseases
C. is very serious
D. has led to many deaths
63. What can we learn from the text
A. The Mandometer will be put into market once it proves effective.
B. The Mandometer is cheap enough for every family to afford.
C. The Mandometer is still not perfect.
D. Slow eating is sure to make people lose weight.

Good sense is the most equally distributed (分配) thing in the world, for each man considers himself so well provided with it that even those who are most difficult to satisfy in everything else do not usually wish to have more of it than they have already. It is not likely that everyone is mistaken in this, it shows that the ability to judge rightly and separate the truth from the false, which is essentially（本质的）what is called good sense or reason, is by nature equal in all men, and thus that our opinions differ not because some men are better endowed (赋予) with reason than others, but only because we direct our thoughts along different paths, and do not consider the same things, for it is not enough to have a good mind: What is most important is to apply it rightly. The greatest souls are capable of the greatest evils (罪恶); and those who walk very slowly can advance much further, if they always keep to the direct road, than those who run and go astray (迷途).
For my part, I have never thought my mind to be more perfect than average in any way; I have, in fact, often wished that my thoughts were as quick, or my imagination as exact and distinct (清楚的) , or my memory as good as those of some other men. And I know of no other qualifies than these which make for the perfection of the mind; for as to reason, or good sense, in as much as it alone makes us men and distinguishes ( 区分) us from the beasts. I am quite willing to believe that it is whole and entire in each of us, and to follow in the common opinion of the philosophers who say that there are differences of more or less only among the accidents, and not among the forms, or natures, of the individuals of a single species.

The Olympic Games are seen as the greatest test of an athlete’s ability and are supposed to celebrate the spirit of fair play. But in fact, sportsmen have been using drugs to cheat their way to victory since the Games first began.
In the early years, athletes ate mushrooms and plant seeds to improve their performance. Nowadays, this kind of cheating has a name doping (服用兴奋剂).
Just last month, Britain’s top sprinter (赛跑选手) Dwain Chambers and several American athletes tested positive (呈阳性) for the drug THG. Until a coach secretly gave a sample of THG to scientists, no one knew how to test for it.
“We’re like cops chasing criminals—athletes are always adapting and looking for areas we haven’t investigated,” said Jacques de Ceaurriz, a French anti-doping expert.
Since the first drugs test was carried out at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City, many cheats have been caught out. The most famous case in history is that of Canadian sprinter Ben Johnson.
He broke the 100 metres world record in winning gold at the 1988 Seoul Olympics. But days later, he tested positive for drug use, lost his gold medal and was banned from the sport. Five years later, he returned to action—only to be found positive again and banned forever.
China has also had problems with drug cheats. At the 1994 Asian Games, 11 Chinese athletes —seven of them swimmers — tested positive for banned drugs. Sports organizations promised that cheating on this scale would not happen again.
Experts are also worried that doping can damage a person’s health. It is believed to increase the risk of liver and kidney (肝肾) diseases, and women may experience reproductive (生育) problems. As long as they can stay ahead of the scientists, it is unlikely the cheats will stop. But experts say there is a limit to what can be achieved and that athletes will not be able to change their bodies using gene technology.
“For the moment, genetic doping does not exist,” said de Ceaurriz. “Even in 10 or 15 years it will not be done easily — the scientific community will not let it happen.”
72. Which of the following is not the way that some athletes cheat to their better sports achievements
A. Eating mushrooms. B. Taking drug THG.
C. Taking genetic doping. D. Eating plant seeds.
73. How may countries are mentioned in the passage in which there were athletes doping
A. Two. B. Four. C. Six. D. Eight.
74. We can infer from the passage that __________.
A. scientists get a lot of information about drugs before the athletes take doping.
B. taking doping will never happen again because of the serious test
C. few athletes used drug cheats before the first drugs test was carried out at the 1968 Olympics
D. problems with drug cheats are still serious though they are severely tested
75. Which statement of the following is TRUE
A. Many police are sent to chase criminals of taking doping during the Olympic Games.
B. The drug test was carried out until the 1968 Olympics.
C. There is the possibility that women athletes taking doping will give no birth to a child.
D. Ben Johnson was banned from sports forever for being tested positive for drug use at the 1988 Seoul Olympics.

A
Early one morning,more than a hundred years ago,an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep.He had been working all night on the design of a sewing machine but he had run into a very difficult problem: It seemed impossible to get the thread to run smoothly around the needle.
Though he was tired,Howe slept badly.He turned and turned.Then he had a dream.He dreamt that he had been caught by terrible savages whose king wanted to kill him and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing machine.When he tried to do so,Howe ran into the same problem as before.The thread kept getting caught around the needle.The king flew into the cage and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe.They came up towards him with their spears raised.But suddenly the inventor noticed something.There was a hole in the tip of each spear.The inventor awoke from the dream,realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem.Instead of trying to get the thread to run around the needle,he should make it run through a small hole in the center of the needle.This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and build the first really practical sewing machine.
Elias Howe was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way.Thomas Edison,the inventor of the electric light,said his best ideas came into him in dreams.So did the great physicist Albert Einstein.Charlotte Bronte also drew in her dreams in writing ?Jane Eyre.?
To know the value of dreams,you have to understand what happens when you are asleep.Even then,a part of your mind is still working.This unconscious(无意识的),but still active part understands your experiences and goes to work on the problems you have had during the day.It stores all sorts of information that you may have forgotten or never have really noticed.It is only when you fall asleep that this part of the brain can send messages to the part you use when you are awake.However,the unconscious part acts in a special way.It uses strange images which the conscious part may not understand at first.This is why dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves ”.

57.The problem Howe was trying to solve was_________.
A.what kind of thread to use
B.how to design a needle which would not break

58.Thomas Edison is spoken of because_________.
A.he also tried to invent a sewing machine
B.he got some of his ideas from dreams
C.he was one of Howe's best friends
D.he also had difficulty in falling asleep
59.Dreams are sometimes called “secret messages to ourselves” because _________.

Shundagarh is a village on India's east-facing coast.It is a village of simple mud and grass houses built on the beach just above the waterline.The Khadra Hills rise immediately behind the village,to a height of one hundred and fifty meters.A simple,good-hearted old man,whose name was Jalpur,farmed two small fields on the very edge of these hills.From his fields he could see the fishing boats that travelled up and down the coast.He could see the children playing on the sands;their mothers washing clothes on the flat stones where the Shiva River flowed into the sea;and their fathers landing the latest catch or repairing nets and telling stories that had no end.
All Jalpur owned in the world were the clothes he wore day in and day out,the miserable hut(小屋) that he slept in at night,a few tools and cooking pots—and his fields.The corn that he grew was all that made life possible.If the weather was kind and the harvest was good,Jalpur could live happily enough—not well,but happily.When the sun was fierce,and there was little or no rain,then he came close to the line between life and death.
Last year the weather had been so kind,and the harvest promised to be so good,that Jalpur had been wondering whether he could sell all that he had and live with his son farther up the coast.He had been thinking about doing this for some years.It was his dearest wish to spend his last days with his son and his wife.But he would go only if he could give;he would not go if it meant taking food out of the mouths of his grandchildren.He would rather die hungry than do this.
On the day when Jalpur decided that he would harvest his corn,sell it,and move up the coast,he looked out to sea and saw a huge wave,several kilometers out,advancing on the coast and on the village of Shundagarh.Within ten minutes everyone in Shundagarh would be drowned.Jalpur would have shouted,but the people were too far away to hear.He would have run down the hill,but he was too old to run.He was prepared to do anything to save the people of Shundagarh,so he did the only thing that he could do: he set fire to his corn.In a matter of seconds the flames were rising high and smoke was rising higher.Within a minute the people of Shundagarh were racing up the hill to see what had happened.There,in the middle of his blackened cornfield,they found Jalpur;and there they buried him.
On his grave,they wrote the words: Here lies Jalpur,a man who gave,living: a man who died,giving.

For hundreds of years humans have dreamed of finding life on distant planets.Now the hope of discovering real evidence of life has greatly increased.
NASA's Mars detector（探测器）,Opportunity,succeeded in finding signs that water once existed on the planet.Opportunity landed on Mars in January.Scientists now believe that the planet could once have supported life.
This discovery was chosen by ?Science?,one of the world's leading magazines,as the most important scientific achievement of 2004 last Friday.
“This little,wheeled,one-armed box went around another planet and has done something no human has ever managed,” according to ?Science?.“It has discovered another place in the universe where life could once have existed.
“Although we still can't say that life could have existed in this environment,it is now certain that there was water on Mars,”said Steve Squyres,one of the scientists working on the Mars mission.The evidence comes from pictures and chemical readings taken by Opportunity.It includes marks on rocks like those caused by following water on Earth and salty chemicals like those found in dried-out sea-beds.Scientists said the new evidence proved beyond doubt that water has existed on Mars.But it is still unknown whether the water was like an ocean or just ice.
While Opportunity has not found any signs of life,the presence of water means life is possible.“In everything we know about life on Earth,there is no example without liquid water,” Squyres said.“So water is important for the search for life on Mars.”
Researchers agree that a future mission（任务） should bring back physical samples（样品）.But some scientists worry about the risk that this could introduce dangerous foreign creatures to Earth.“The problem here is how to get the samples back,”Squyres replied.“I think it is our responsibility to limit any risk.”
65.What proved that water existed on Mars
A.The physical samples with salty chemicals.
B.The marks on rocks and salty chemicals.
C.Scientific achievements of 2004.
D.Creatures from Mars.
66.Which of the following is true according to the text
A.It is now certain that there was water on Mars.
B.The water on Mars was like an ocean.
C.Evidence of life on Mars has been found.
D.Search for life on Mars is a great risk to humans.
67.How did scientists draw the conclusion that there was water on Mars
A.The world's leading magazine has announced the fact.
B.Scientists have taken many pictures and chemical readings on the Mars.
C.Astronauts have got some rocks from Mars.
D.Scientists have made a study of the pictures and readings sent back by Mars detector.
68.It can be inferred that,if the creatures from Mars came to earth,_________.
A.they would be kind to humans
B.they would be cruel to humans
C.they would be a great danger to Earth
D.it would be hard to say whether it would be good news or bad news

Some time people call each other “scared-cat”,but have you ever thought about this expression When a cat is frightened,its heart starts beating faster,its muscles get tense,and there are changes in the chemicals in its bloodstream.Although the cat doesn't realize this,its body is getting ready for action.If the danger continues,the animal will do one of two things:It will defend itself,or it will run away as fast as it can.
Something like this also happens to people.When we are excited,angry,scared,or aroused by other emotions (feelings),our bodied go through many physical changes.Out hearts beat faster,and our muscled get tense.All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react.We,too get ready to defend ourselves or run.
Human beings,however,have a problem that animals never face.If we give way to our feelings and let them take over,we can get into trouble.Have you ever said something in anger—or hit somebody—and regretted it later Have you ever shouted at a teacher,told somebody you were lonely,or said you were in love,and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut It isn't always wise to express your feelings freely.
Does this mean that it's smarter always to hide our feelings No! If you keep feelings of anger,sadness,and bitterness hidden away or bottled up inside,your body stays tense.Physical illness can develop,and you can feel churned up inside.It can actually be bad for your health.(It isn't good to keep pleasant feelings inside either;all feelings need to be expressed.)
Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside don't just go away.It's as if you bought some bananas and stuck them in a cupboard.You might not be able to see them,but before long you'd smell them.And if you opened the cupboard,chances are you'd see little fruit flies hovering all over them.They'd be rotten.
You can try to treat emotions as if they were bananas in the cupboard.You can hide them and you can pretend they don't exist,but they'll still be around.And at last you'll have to deal with them,just like those bananas.

A.Emotions Affect Our Bodies B.What Happens to a Frightened Cat
C.What Happens to An Excited Person D.Feelings that People Have

Ice dancing developed from ballroom dancing, particularly the waltz, and was very popular in the early 1900s. It requires well-trained, exact footwork; conformity （协调） with one another’s steps; and a keen sense of timing and rhythm. Ice dancing differs from pairs skating in that ice dancers are restricted(限制) to lifts no higher than the man’s shoulders and there are no jumps. One skate must be on the ice at all times.
　　Ice dancing competitions are made up of three principal parts: compulsories, original dance, and free dance. In compulsories, partners must perform two dances selected by the ISU, for example, waltz, tango, or pulsories involve set patterns in which dancers perform and repeat steps at certain points around the arena (竞技场). Although the steps are predetermined, dancers are encouraged to interpret (display) them for artistic charming. Each compulsory dance counts for 15 percent of a pair’s final score.
　　The original dance, formerly known as the original set pattern dance, requires skaters to design their own performance to their choice of music, set to a speed and rhythm previously announced by the ISU. It counts for 35 percent of the final score, and skaters receive marks for composition and presentation. In the free dance, the partners perform a dance to music of their choice. They are given marks for presentation and style as well as for technical value. This dance counts for 50 percent of the final score.
56. The best title for this passage would be _____.
　　A. Ice Skating B. Ice Skiing

China Launches Fourth Unmanned Test Spacecraft
(December 30, 2002 CCTV)—China has successfully launched its fourth unmanned test spacecraft into orbit. Early on Monday, the Shenzhou IV lifted off from a base in northwest China. It is part of the country's ambitious plan to send astronauts up into space.
At 1:40 Monday morning, Shenzhou IV lifted off from the Jiuquan base in northwest China's Gansu Province. Ten minutes after the take－off, the spacecraft separated from its Long March 2F carrier rocket and went into orbit.
Member of China's Central Military Committee Li Jinai declared the launch a success. He said,“According to the reports from the Beijing Command and Control Center, the Shenzhou IV spacecraft has accurately entered into orbit. This launch has achieved complete success.”
Senior Chinese officials, including Top Legislator Li Peng, Vice Premier Wu Bangguo and Member of the Standing Committee of the Politburo of the Communist Party of China Jia Qinglin, watched the launch at the site. On behalf of all other officials, Li Peng extended his congratulations to all those involved in the project.
The top legislator said the successful launch demonstrated that China's manned space science and technology program was getting increasingly mature. He encouraged all those involved in the space program to work hard for its complete success.
The launch was China's fourth successful spacecraft launch in three years. Previous tests were conducted in 1999, 2001 and earlier this year. Like its Shenzhou III predecessor, Shenzhou IV has all the functions of a manned spacecraft. Dummy astronauts, human physical monitoring sensors and a metabolic simulation apparatus have been installed in the craft to simulate and monitor vital human signs, and to test its life support system.
Shenzhou IV is just one step away from a manned flight. In fact, before the launch, Chinese astronauts entered the craft to get a feel of it. Land and sea rescue missions were also rehearsed.
The craft is being tracked and controlled from the command center in Beijing, a monitoring center in Xi'an and a fleet of four monitoring vessels deployed in the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans.
The spacecraft will stay in orbit for a week. Its descent module will touch down in China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
If all goes well, Shenzhou IV should be the last unmanned test flight of the Shenzhou Series spacecraft. Shenzhou V may become the nation's first manned spacecraft, making China the third country in the world to send man into outer space, after Russia and the US.
60. About "Shenzhou IV", which is NOT right
A. It was launched on the morning of December 30, 2002.
B. It is part of the country's plan to send astronauts up into space.
C. The top legislator gave congratulations on its launch.

She is a cute, quiet girl. As a daughter, she has no secrets towards her mother, who is very much pleased with her. But recently she has become somewhat mysterious, not so open-minded as before. She has a diary that she keeps under lock and key. Mother cannot help worrying about her: what if she falls in love, which is too early for a girl of her age. After all she is reaching the 'dangerous stage'. These thoughts have caused trouble in the mother's mind.
　 One weekend the girl came to tell that she was going to the cinema with her schoolmate and would return late.

The mother waited till nine and her uneasiness got the upper hand over her. She decided going out to meet her daughter. Just at the moment the noise of a car pulling up drew her to the window and-there was her daughter, waving goodbye to a boy. Her heart missed a beat.

Oh. that...Who's that boy " The daughter was stunned(发愣) for a moment. "Ah. It's my monitor. He gave me a lift on his way home. Mum, I'm going to bed." "All right. Go to sleep early."
　 Next morning when the mother went to the daughter's room to do some tidying, she found her diary left at her pillow. After a few minutes' hesitation she eventually opened it to the entry of the night before. It reads: Mum, it's love that made you ask, but it would show your understanding of me if you hadn't.

Reflecting is a special kind of thinking. In the first place, it's a both active and controlled. When ideas pass aimlessly through your head, that is not reflecting. When someone tells you a story and it suddenly brings to mind something that happened to you, that is not reflecting either. Reflecting means focusing your attention. It means weighing, considering, and choosing. Suppose you're going home, and when you get there, you turn the knob, the door opens and you step in. Getting into your home does not require reflection. But now suppose that when you turn the knob, the door does not open. To get into the house, some reflecting is in order. You have to think about what you are going to do. You have to imagine possibilities and consider choices.
The second way that reflecting is different from some other kinds of thinking is that it's persistent. It requires continuous effort. Suppose you're still trying to get through your front door. You check your pocket for the key. You walk around the house looking for an open window. You go to a phone to call a family member who has a key. Such behavior is proof of persistent reflective thinking. And if someone asks you what you are doing, you may say that you are trying to figure out how to get into your house. But suppose, instead, you go to a nearby record store and look through the new records. If someone asks you what you are doing and you say that you are trying to figure out how to get into your house, that will not make sense. You are only reflecting as long as you stick to the problem or task.
The third way that reflecting is different from some other kinds of thinking is that it's careful. It aims at making sense. This doesn't mean that reflecting cannot be imaginative. A great deal of reflection could go into writing a science-fiction story about people who can move through solid objects. The ability to walk through walls could make sense in a science-fiction story. But it wouldn't make much sense in trying to get through your locked front door.

Empty supermarket shelves are now easy to see in Harbin City, as citizens store water and food, fearing that the city’s water supply could be polluted.
Officials try to calm panic buyers.
Wan Liming (Heilongjiang vice governor): “You don’t have to worry or get excited. We have huge amounts of water, and we’ll control the price of water; we’ll ensure enough water for everyone. Just don’t panic.”
“This will last four or five days,” he adds.
More bottled water is shipped into Harbin from other cities, while technicians shut off the flow and begin testing the water. Earlier this month, an explosion hit a petrochemical plant in the neighboring city of Jilin, killing at least five people, and forcing tens of thousands to leave their home. The sprawling plant sits right next to the Songhua River — Harbin’s main source of water supply. Lab tests have confirmed that the poisonous chemical benzene (苯) has leaked into the river.
Zhang Zuoji (Heilongjiang Governor): “The pollution has led to the shutdown of water supply to the city of a few million people. This is a matter we must not take lightly. Officials from the various authorities must treat this matter with the greatest importance and see to it that we can resume our water supply to the city.”
It’s also bad news for the city’s tourism and other industries. Tourists flock to Harbin to see the annual Ice Festival, featuring sculptures carved out of ice this time of the year. For the city officials, however, the biggest danger of Harbin’s water crisis will be that of losing public trust.
63．What does the underlined word “panic” in Para. 2 probably mean
A. Angry. B. Hopeless. C. Homeless. D. Frightened.
64．What measure is taken to limit the harm to the city and the lower part of the river
A. Shutting off the flow. B. Carrying bottled water there.
C. Pumping water from the river. D. Testing the water in the river.
65．What is the basic cause of the Harbin’s water problem
A. The explosion of a plant. B. The frightened citizens.
C. The need of water. D. The poisonous chemical.
66．What the officials are most afraid of is ________.
A. water pollution B. losing public trust
C. lack of tourists D. being punished by the government

TURIN, Feb. 15 (Xinhuanet) -- Chinese Wang Meng won the women’s 500m short track speedskating Wednesday night, getting China’s first gold medal in the Turin Winter Olympic Games.
Chinese Wang Meng wins the women’s 500m short track speed skating gold medal at the Turin Winter Olympics here on Feb. 15, 2006.
The Olympic debutant led all the way to clock 44.345 seconds, winning the nation’s third winter Olympic gold after Yang Yang’s two in 2002.
The 20-year-old Wang, who has won four World Cup races over 500m, proved herself as the most consistent short tracker in the world.

Like China’s Athens Olympic champion Liu Xiang, Wang jumped to the podium and waved excitedly to the cheering crowd.
"Till I jumped onto the podium did I know my name had not yet been announced," Wang said, laughing. "I was just so excited and anxious to get onto the podium."
Wang, however, admitted she wasn’t satisfied with her performance.

67. __________ got women’s 500m short track speedskating gold medals for China in the Winter Olympic Games.
A. Wang Meng and Liu Xiang B. Wang Manli and Yang Yang (A)
C. Yang Yang (A) and Wang Meng D. Liu Xiang and Wang Manli

A senior U.N. official has described the Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami as among the worst-ever natural disasters. The United Nations’ top emergency relief official, Jan Egeland, says the death toll from the December 26 tsunami may rise much higher as more information becomes available from the isolated western coast of Sumatra. Mr. Egeland says relief workers are now focusing on the western coast of northern Sumatra. He says they are just beginning to fully grasp the level of destruction caused by the earthquake and tsunami in that area. “The coast is low. It takes the full blast of the tsunami which was at its highest and many, many of these villages are gone,” he said. “There is no trace left of them. They had hardly roads before. Now they have nothing. The death toll will grow highly on the west coast of Sumatra. What will be the final toll, we will never know. But we may be talking of tens of thousands of further deaths in this area. The town of Meulaboh, nearly 50,000 inhabitants (people living there) has perhaps been the most destructed of any town anywhere, even much more than Banda Aceh.” Mr. Egeland describes reaching the isolated parts of Sumatra as a nightmare. Mr. Egeland said international reaction to the disaster has been, in his words “overwhelmingly positive.” He said much of the aid is being directed at the water and sanitation sectors in the worst-hit countries.
72．What does the underlined phrase “death toll” in the 1st paragraph mean
A．Dead people. B．Dead body.
C．Dead animals. D．The number of people who died.
73．Why did people find it difficult to know the final toll
A．Because information is difficult to get. B．Because people are continuing to die.
C．Because the tsunami hasn’t stopped yet. D．Because too many people have died.
74．Why are the relief workers focusing on the western coast of northern Sumatra
A．The coast there is quite low. B．Many of these villages are gone.
C．It may have been most destroyed. D．It takes the full blast of the tsunami.
75．What does the sentence “International reaction to the disaster has been overwhelmingly positive.” mean
A．The disaster has spread all over the world and many got injured.
B．Many countries in the world have given much aid to the area.
C．People in the world take an active part in fighting against tsunami.
D．International organizations are busy studying the cause of tsunami.

A
It came with devastating force,a natural disaster of strange intensity that shocked the world and killed tens of thousands.The waters have now receded,but disease and food and water shortages trouble a number of countries around the Indian Ocean.Millions of survivors face serious problems.
The number of survivors in need of food aid after the Indian Ocean disaster has climbed to 5 million people.They stretch from Somalia to Thailand,and the figure could rise further,the United Nations has said.
Relief teams hope to reach all of the estimated 700 000 hungry in Sri Lanka within three more days.It could take longer before enough food aid gets to the nearly 1 million people in need in hard-to-reach parts of Indonesia.Another serious problem is the need for purified water.
Although aid had poured in from all over the world to the disaster areas,“Logistics is the big problem here—just getting the stuff out to people who need it,”said Ron Libby,emergency management specialist at the USA agency for International Development.
Relief efforts are hindered by the difficulty of delivering aid to the more than 1000 islands scattered across hundreds of kilometers of ocean.
For those who survived the tsunami's force,disease is now the No.1 problem.Five million people are short of water,food and basic sanitation across the region.World Health Organization(WHO) crisis chief David Navarro said 50 000 more people could die from disease and other causes,as has been the case in previous humanitarian emergencies.
WHO said it had already received a handful of reports of malaria(疟疾) and dengue fever(登革热) and hundreds of reports of diarrhea(腹泻) and infected wounds.It said millions of water purification tablets had been sent to Asia,along with sanitation engineers to rebuild water sanitation infrastructure.
Psychologists are warning that mental health problems caused by the tsunami could prove harder to resolve than the physical damage.
Some survivors say they are plagued by recurring nightmares about walls of water.Many locals are afraid to return to beachside homes.Officials also warn that suicide rates could rise dramatically as parents struggle with guilt at losing children.
Psychologists estimate that 20 to 30 per cent of people who face traumatic events eventually develop symptoms,such as alcohol abuse,lack of concentration at work and an inability to develop close relationships.
Although the Thai Government has offered to build temporary beachside housing,many refugee families are refusing to come down from the hills.Others are afraid to go back to jobs on the sea.
Over 150 000 people were killed by the tsunami,but hundreds and thousands more have been left with no means to earn a living.
In the village of Akirapettai in India,all that is left is the twisted wreckage of the fishing fleet.Dakshina Murti,a fisherman,not only lost three family members,but also lost his boats,his nets,everything.
“Everything's gone,”he says.With no government aid so far,all he has is a wreck.There are several million people who suffered the same experience.Homes have been destroyed,as well as wharves,docks,and sheds.
For now,rebuilding the economy remains a distant concept.

A.the causes of the tsunami B.the result after the tsunami
C.the sign of the tsunami D.the warning of the tsunami

For nearly a century before there was such a thing as a space program,a view of space was possible.People could see full views of the Moon,explore Mars(探测火星),and study the outer space beauty.All of this was made possible by a small group of artist-astronomers(天文艺术家) who worked to show people how other worlds in space might look.
Lucien Rudaux,a French artist,was the first to use his artistic ability and his knowledge of astronomy in art.His paintings show a mixture of skilled observations,brilliant imagination and careful attention.As a result,many of his works have come surprisingly close to actual conditions on distant planets.His painting of Mars included moonlike craters(火山口) that were first photographed by the astronauts in 1965.His 1930 painting of a dust storm looks remarkably like a photograph of a storm taken by the astronauts in 1976.
The artist-astronomers,including Rudaux,made people interested in outer space by painting what turned out to be exact portraits of the planets.

Over a hundred years ago people in London were surprised to see a very unusual boat come sailing up the Thames River.The boat was eighty feet long flat-bottomed,with big wooden eyes on both sides in the front and was colorfully painted at the back.
People came to know that it was a sailing boat from Fuzhou in distant China.The boat had sailed round the Cape of Good Hope(好望角) up the western coast of Africa,and finally to England.It had covered fifteen thousand miles—more than half of the distance round the world.
Although it was unexpected,the Chinese were warmly welcomed.The boat carried goods such as silk and tea as well as a number of gifts from the Emperor of China for the Queen of England.
People had always mistakenly thought of the Chinese as a people not used to sea.However,from centuries of trading and sailing in dangerous seas,the Chinese had learned how to build good boats and sailed them well.The coming of this sailing boat to London proved once again that the Chinese could sail to distant countries in the world.

Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion,unless you learn how to deal with it.They warn that anger can lead to heart disease,stomach problems,headaches,emotional probems and possibly cancer.
Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time.Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way.Other burst with anger,and scream and yell(咆哮).But other people keep their anger inside.They can not or will not express it.This is called repressing anger.
For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person's health than expressing it.They said that when a person is angry,the brain releases the same hor-mones(荷尔蒙).They speed the heart rate,raise blood pressure,or sugar into the blood,etc.In general the person feels excited and ready to act.
Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous.They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease,and they believe that those who keep their anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.
Doctors say the solution(解决办法) is learning how to deal with anger.They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger,then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about.If it is,they say,“Do not express your anger while angry.Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”
Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry.They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.

It was four o'clock when we left Micatlan,and we traveled quickly until it became almost completely dark.It was our intention to return to our general quarters in Atlacomulco that night.We had a long journey ahead of us,especially because it had been decided there was no way we would try to cross the ravines again at night,since they were considered far too dangerous.Futhermore,an eclipse of the moon was expected,and,in fact,while we were crossing an open field,the moon appeared on the horizon,half in shadow,a rare and beautiful sight.
After a few hours of riding,we suddenly realized that we had lost our way,and worse still,had no way of finding it again.Night had fallen and there was not a single hut in sight,only great plains and mountains and the lowing of distant bulls all around us.We continued on ahead,trusting in luck,though it was difficult to say where she had brought us.By good fortune,our advance riders ran into two Indians,a man and a boy,who agreed to guide us their village and no further.
After an interminable and exhausting road,which we traveled at a brisk trot,the barking of several dogs announced an Indian village.In the dying light,we could just make out cane huts,firmly situated between the banana trees,with fenced gardens in front of each one.Our convoy stopped in front of one particular hut,a kind of inn or shop for alcohol,where a naked goblin-like figure,the ideal husband for a witch,was serving cheap brandy to the Indians,most of whom were already drunk.
We dismounted and threw ourselves to the ground,too tired to even think.Someone found us,God knows how,a cup of dreadful hot chocolate.We began to realize that we were completely lost,and so it was agreed to give up our attempt to reach Atlacomulco that night.Instead,we should head for the village of “E1 Puente”,where our guides know a Spanish family,made up of several unmarried brothers,who,without any doubt,would be delighted to offer us a safe refuge for the rest of the night.We remounted and began our journey,a little restored after the pause in our journey and the dreadful hot chocolate.
Where did we travel to
A.El Puente. B.The cane huts. C.Atlacomulco. D.An Indian Village.
73.When we traveled at night_________.
A.there was a good guide leading us
B.there was a full moon in the sky
C.we could hardly see anything
D.we could see everything around clearly
74.When we lost our way we believed that_________.
A.we should stay where we were for rescue
B.we should go on to seek after our fortune
C.we should go back where we started
D.we should ask the Indians for help
75.When we reached the inn-like hut_________.
A.someone served alcohol and hot chocolate at once

C.we had a good drink

It doesn’t matter how clever you are or how much education you’ve had, you can still improve your mind. And improving your intelligence quotient(IQ) doesn’t have to mean studying hard. There are many methods that can help your brain. Here are three of them, from the British science magazine New Scientist.
Working memory
IQ is not decided by genetics. Some methods can help increase it.
Why: Until recently, a person’s IQ was thought to be determined by genetics. But recent studies suggest that a basic brain function called working memory could increase one’s IQ. Working memory is the brain’s short-term storage system. The amount of information the working memory can hold is related to general intelligence.
How: Training helps us expand the working memory. Common training tasks include: doing math questions that have intermediate(中间的) steps; remembering the position of objects on a map; or remembering a string of digits(数字), like a phone number, without writing it down.
Body and mind
Physical exercise can help the brain as well as the body. It’s good for those who hate studying hard.
Why: Physical exercise helps the growth of new brain cells. Until recently, it was believed that we produced no new brain cells in our lifetime. But, in 2000, US scientist Fred Gage showed that even adults could grow new brain cells. He also found that exercise was one of the best ways to achieve this.
How: Simply walking for half an hour three times a week can improve learning, concentration and reasoning by 15 percent. Even more gentle exercise like yoga can do good for your brain. A study last year showed that the best way to get a mental lift is to bend over backwards.
The Mozart effect
Music may tune up your thinking. But simply turning up the sound won’t make you clever.
Why: American scientist Frances Rauscher made waves by discovering in 1995 that listening to Mozart improved people’s mathematical reasoning. Last year, Rauscher reported that Mozart’s music seemed to increase activity in genes involved in nerve-cell signaling in the brain.
How: Listening to Mozart and taking music lessons. Music lessons can really help. Six-year-old children who were given music lessons got a 2 -to 3-point increase in IQ scores. Music lessons exercise a lot of mental skills, because of the need of accurate finger movements, and listening for rhythm.
56. If you don’t like to study hard, you’d better ______ to improve your IQ.
A. listen to music B. learn how to concentrate
C. bend over backwards regularly D. try some physical exercise
57. The underlined word “this” refers to _____.
A. the improvement of one’s IQ B. the growth of new brain cells
C. physical exercise D. the study of Fred Gage
58. From the article we can conclude that it is wrong to think that _____.
listening to Mozart improves people’s mathematical reasoning
people can not produce new brain cells as they grow older
children taking music lessons can increase their IQ scores
Frances Rausher suggests people listen to Mozart
59. The main purpose of the passage is to _____.
point out people’s wrong ideas about IQ
report some new discoveries
introduce some simple ways to improve people’s IQ
tell the relationship between IQ and ways of exercising

HONG KONG--Disney officially opened its newest theme park in Hong Kong, its first step into the lucrative(有利的) China market.
The ceremony opening of the US $3.5-billion park kicked off with a traditional Chinese lion dance in the forecourt of Sleeping Beauty Castle.
The Hong Kong government, which chipped in 1.8 billion Hong Kong dollars of the construction cost and owned a half-share of equity in the project, is hoping the park will spur(鼓励) local tourism and bring in more than 100 billion dollars over the next 40 years.
The attraction and its two resort hotels are surrounded by mountains on lush Lantau Island, just 30 minutes away by subway from bustling central Hong Kong. It looks much like the first Disneyland in California, with a Space Mountain thrill ride, a classic Cinderella Carousel and a pink Sleeping Beauty Castle --- which Disney predicts will be one of the most photographed buildings in Asia.
Hong Kong’s government says the attraction will help turn this global financial capital into Asia’s best family holiday spot.
Disney hopes the park--- the 11th in its global empire--- will be a magnet for increasingly wealthy Chinese tourists, who have a reputation for being big-spenders.
Michael Eisner, Disney’s chief executive officer(CEO), said China and Disneyland will be a perfect match because they both value families. “You go to the park and you see mothers, daughters and kids and grandparents. The family unit in China is unbelievably strong. It’s not just Hong Kong, it’s the Chinese mainland,” Eisner said.
60. The news story is mainly about _____.
A. the opening of Hong Kong Disneyland
B. the cost of building Hong Kong Disneyland
C. the reason of building Hong Kong Disneyland

B. HK Disneyland is expected to earn over 100 billion dollars over the next 40 years.
C.So far twelve Disneyland theme parks have been built worldwide.
D. It takes half an hour to reach HK Disneyland from city center by subway.
63. We can infer from the text that _____.
A. Sleeping Beauty Castle is among the most photographed buildings in Asia
B. Hong Kong has turned into Asia’s best family holiday spot
C. Chinese tourists are well known for spending too much money
D. Both Chinese and Americans value the importance of family units

The legal limit for driving after drinking alcohol is 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 milliliters of blood, when tested. But there is not sure way of telling how much you can drink before you reach this limit. It varies with each person depending on your weight, your sex, and what sort of drinks you’ve had. Some people might reach their limit after only about three standard drinks.
In fact, your drinking ability can be affected by just one or two drinks. Even if you’re below the legal limit, you could still be taken to court if a police officer thinks your driving had been affected by alcohol.
It takes about an hour for the body to get rid of the alcohol in one standard drink. So, if you have a heavy drinking in the evening, you might find that your driving ability is still affected the next morning, or you could even find that you’re still over the legal limit. In addition, if you’ve had a few drinks at lunchtime, another one or two drinks in the early evening may well put you over the legal limit.
In a test with professional drivers, the more alcoholic drinks they had had, the more certain they were that they could drive a test course through a set of movable posts and the less able they were to do it!
So the only way to be sure you’re safe is not to drink at all.
Alcohol is a major cause of road accidents. One in three of the drivers killed in road accidents have levels of alcohol which are over the legal limit, and road accidents after drinking are the biggest cause of death among young men. More than half of people stopped by the police to take a breath analyzer test have a blood alcohol concentration of more than twice the legal limit.
It is important to remember that driving after you’ve been drinking doesn’t just affect you. If you’re involved in an accident, it affects a lot of other people as well, not least the person you might kill or injure.
64. Which of the following statements is NOT true
A. Three standard drinks may cause some people to reach the legal limit .
B. There is no sure way of telling how much you can drink before you reach the legal limit .
C. The legal limit for driving after drinking is 0.08g of alcohol in 100 milliliters of blood.
D. The amount of alcohol a person can drink before reaching legal limit is the same for different people.
65. We may infer that even a professional driver will find hard to pass through a set of movable posts if he drinks .
A．heavily B．a little C．every day D．occasionally
66. This passage indicates that .
A．a driver who does not take any alcohol will not die in road accidents
B．those who drink must be killed
C．more young men die in drink-related accidents than in any other way
D．one in three of the drivers often drinks a lot
67. One of the writer’s purposes in writing the passage is to tell you that .
A．young men should never drive quickly
B．driving after drinking may put many lives at risk
C．safe drinking is impossible
D．the manner of drinking is meaningless

BROOKSVILLE---It’s the time of year again, when young bears are on their own for the first time. And that means more sightings where bears usually aren’t supposed to be.
This weekend, a 258-pound black bear took a brief tour of Brooksville, with police and fire-fighters chasing.
Another black bear, weighing just 100 pounds, was spotted Saturday, crossing busy U.S.19 near a retirement community in Spring Hill. Several other bear reports have come from Citrus County.
“It is really difficult for the younger bears to find their own land around here,” said NiKi Everett, bear hot line director for the Gulf Coast Conservancy.
Brooksville’s bear first was spotted late Thursday crossing State Road 50, headed toward Tom Varn Park. Police and firefighters tracked the bear through the park and the Brooksville Quarry golf course.
The bear then wound down the middle of Broad Street before being surrounded near Luigi’s Pizza. An official with the Florida Game and Water fish Commission came with a tranquilizer spear(加入镇静剂的矛), planning to stick the bear by hand.
“The guy saw the size of the bear and figured that wasn’t a great idea,” said Capt. Frank Philips of the Brooksville Fire Department.
Emergency officials waited until a transquilizer gun was brought from Land O’Lakes. The bear then got a free ride to the Chassahowitzka Management Area.
It is not unusual for bears to move into living areas this time of year, experts say. Mothers give their male baby bears the boot once the youngsters are two years old. With living areas growing, the young bears keep finding smaller and smaller areas in which they can set up their own land.
“They are trying to find a land of their own, where they won’t get beat up,” said Lt.Rip Staley, a game commission spokesman.
Everett said people should not be too concerned about the recent bear sightings, since “we have never had a bear attack in Florida.”
Black bears mainly eat the tender and fresh leaves of Sabal palms, as well as corns and berries. Recent weeks of dry weather likely have reduced their food supply. “If we don’t get some relief soon,” Everett said, “we’re probably going to see a lot more of it.”
68. What’s the main idea of this passage
A. Bear sightings in living areas worry people
B. Policemen try hard to get the bears controlled
C. People take up too much land from bears
D. Bears come out to disturb people’s lives
69. Which is true according to the passage
A.The 100-pound bear was caught near Luigi’s Pizza.
B.The Gulf Coast Conservancy makes bears homeless
C. Brooksville’s bear was too large to be caught by hand.
D. Bears frequently visit humans’ living areas.
70. Bear sightings can usually be expected_______.
A. in the cold season B. in the warm season
C. near lakes or rivers D. near Luigi’s Pizza.
71. The underlined phrase “give their male baby bears the boot” means____.
A. make them wear the boots B. find new homes for them
C. drive them away from them D. keep them in safe places

I have a friend who lives by a three-word philosophy: Seize the moment. Just possibly, she may be the wisest woman on this planet. Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven’t thought about it, don’t have it on their schedule, didn’t know it was coming or are too strict to depart from their routine.
I can’t count the times I called my sister and said,“How about going to lunch in half an hour ” She would gasp and stammer(结结巴巴地说)，“I can’t. I have clothes on the line. My hair id dirty. I wish I had known yesterday, I had a late breakfast, it looks like rain.”And my personal favorite response:“It’s just Monday.”She died a few years ago. We never did have lunch together. From then on ,I’ve tried to be a little more flexible.
Life has a way of going faster as we get older. The days get shorter, and the list of promises made to ourselves gets longer. One morning, we awaken, and all have to show for our lives is repetition of “I’m going to”,“I plan on”and “Someday, when things are settled down a bit. ”
When anyone calls my “seize the moment ” friend, she is open to adventure and available for trips. She keeps an open mind on new ideas. Her enthusiasm for life is contagious You talk with her for five minutes, and you’re ready to trade your bad feet for a pair of Rollerblades and skip an elevator for a bungee cord．
My lips have not touched ice cream in 10years . I love ice cream. The other day, I stopped the car and bought a triple-decker. If my car had hit an iceberg on the way home, I would have died happy.
Now … go on and have a nice day. Do something you WANT to … not something on your SHOULD DO list.
72．The example of the writer’s sister serves as_____.

D．it indicates the time when they can have lunch together
74．The underlined word “contagious” in the fourth paragraph means ”____”.

Half a century ago, during the Sino-Japanese War, I was a student at National Southwest Associated University at Kunming in southern China, Lectures were often accompanied by the pitter-patter of rain on the tin roofs of the classrooms; that mud floors were full of holes; and wind blew through paneless windows. As for the library, it was a bare skeleton（骨架） . A good reference book was used for years and journals usually arrived after a couple of years’ delay.
But despite such hardship, I had the best of my student days in Kunming. Although we were short of research materials, we were uncompromising（坚定的）in our pursue of knowledge and truth. I spent six years at Southwest and obtained my first and second degrees in physics here. I still value those days fervently. In fact it was at Southwest that I first came across Reader’s Digest. To me, the magazine’s insistence on perfection both in style and accuracy（准确性）—as well as its celebration of life even in the face of hardship—is similar to the values I learned at Southwest.
Later, I went to the United States to study under Enrich Ferimi, the famous physicist who directed the world’s first nuclear chain reaction. One of the first things Ferimi emphasized to me was that physics shouldn’t be so overwhelming（压倒性的）that it is beyond the average man. Physics research, he said, should be connected with our daily lives and physicists should devote most of their efforts to solving practical problems. I couldn’t agree more. Indeed, I think this simple, close-to-life.
Approach applies other attempts too. Reader’s Digest is highly informative, but it is easy to read, and easy to understand, never exaggerating or mystifying. This truthful, down-to earth quality is what I treasure now.
56．What is the author
A．A soldier B．A physicist C．An editor D．A teacher
57．Which of the following is NOT true of the National Southwest Associated University
A．The only thing its library had was a skeleton.
B．Its classroom windows had no glass.
C．The mud floors of the classrooms were uneven.
D．It was short of research materials.
58．What was the first thing Ferimi emphasized to the author
A．Theoretical problems need solving first.
B．Physics should not be considered as the most important course.
C．Physics research should be related to daily lives.
D．The results of physics research could be used in the national defense.
59．What does the author think of Reader’s Digest
A．It gives much information.
B．It devotes its efforts to solving practical problems.
C．It is far from perfect in style or accuracy.
D．Its language is simple, but beautifully written.

In 1841, a book was published which astonished the world. It was called“Incidents of Travel in Central America, Chiapas and Yucatan”The author John Loud Stephens had just returned from a long, difficult and dangerous journey through the thick rain forest of southern Mexico and Guatemala. He had once been there with Frederick Catherwood, an architect and artist, to search for the remains of a lost civilization known as the Mayas（玛雅）.Very little was known about the Mayas at that time, but Catherwood’s drawing in the book showed incredible cities with temples, pyramids and other buildings as impressive as those of their northern neighbors, the Aztecs. These cities, however, were deserted. The inhabitants（居民）had disappeared almost a thousand years before.
Since that time, far more has been learned about this remarkable civilization. The Mayas had a highly developed system of government and of agriculture, as well as an incredibly accurate（精确的）system of measuring time. They were also wonderful engineers capable of moving huge blocks stone long distances and cutting them to accurate shapes and sizes.
And yet although the Mayas knew about the wheel, they never used it. Neither did they use metals other than copper. What is ever more surprising is that they suddenly abandoned（抛弃）many of their cities and built new ones in the jungle. Some time around AD900, Mayan civilization collapsed. By the year 1200, their last great capital, Chichen Itza, was deserted.
Who were these strange people and the even stranger gods they worshipped What brought about their sudden and mysterious collapse Some writers have tried to prove that the Mayas had contact with visitors from space and even that they themselves came from another planet. Some people believe that their civilization came to an end because the Mayas never developed a proper resistance to local germs and diseases. All we really know is that when the first Europeans appeared off their coast in 1517, this great and mysterious culture was only a memory.
60．Stephen’s book astonished the world because .
A．it was the first time people heard about Mayas
B．the Mayas were excellent builders and farmers

C．they deserted their cities and moved to new ones
D．they built cities which they never lived in
62．At last Mayas disappeared from the world most probably in .
A．a thousand years before 1841 B．around AD 900
C．any year between 1200 and 1517 D．1200
63．What brought about Mayan sudden collapse
A．Tropical germs and diseases B．European conquest
C．Mysterious force from outer space D．No one knows for sure

When Joe Ward went fishing in Florida one day last September, he didn’t need a weather report to tell him that big trouble was on the way. All he had to do was observe the behavior of the area’s wildlife.“The fish were just biting like crazy, like they were storing up,”says Ward.“There wasn’t a bird anywhere, not even a gull, which is very unusual down here. And on the banks, the insects—the ants, everything—were climbing high.”The next day Hurricane Frances hit. Was this an isolated incident？ Hardly.“Some people say that animals have a sixth sense. I don’t know if I’d go that far,”says Wildlife Conservation Society research scientist Diana Reiss.“There’s a lot we still have to learn about their behavior. But I don’t think there’s any question that animals can hear, feel and notice things that we can’t.”
When Sri Lanka Wildlife Department deputy director, H. D. Ratnayake, surveyed the destruction left by last December’s tsunami, he was shocked by what he had not seen before. Tens of thousands of humans were killed. But there was very little mortality among wildlife. At Yala National Park, the phenomenon was especially noticeable. Though the human death number nearby was more than 200, officials found no wildlife dead bodies. After the tsunami, wild tales keep surfacing. Residents have reported seeing herds of antelope（羚羊）thundering from a coastal area to the hills before the giant wall of water hit. And nesting flamingos（红鹳）left low-lying areas, heading for the safety of higher ground. How did they know trouble was on the way？Scientists credit a well-tuned sensory system.“Animals have to adapt to their environment to survive,”Reiss says. Changes in atmospheric conditions also may have played a part, some scientists say.
Wildlife photographer Mike Blair remembers the day he witnessed how waterfowl can sense change in the weather. That morning the weather was mild, with a few snow geese on the marshes at the wildlife protecting place. But as the day progressed, flight after flight of geese crossed the sky and settled on the wetlands. The next day temperatures decreased widely and a snowstorm hit.“The refuge staff said there were 20,000 geese there at the start of the day,”says Blair.“By the end of the day, they were estimating there were 300,000 or more.”Wildlife biologists believe migrating waterfowl have a built-in sense to predict the approach of large storms and are particularly responsive to changes of pressure in the air.

D
In 1901，H. G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers 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 travel 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 connecting England and France, is now complete.
But what about underground cities？　Japan’s Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground systems, 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 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 space, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H.G.Wells“moon people”would agree. Would you

A．knew so much about the earth
B．understood their language

69．What does the underlined word“it”（paragraph 2）refer to
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
70．What sort of underground system are already here with us
A．Offices, shopping areas, power stations
B．Tunnels, car parks, shopping areas
C．Gardens, car parks, power stations
D．Tunnels, gardens, offices
71．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

31．D　in/for/during the last/past＋一段时间表示“在过去多长时间里”做过某事，与完成时连用，但本句中并不是这个含义，而是在“最后十分钟”出现的结果。
32．D　选项部分完全形式为：a student（who is）used to dealing with．，表示“习惯于…的学生”，用过去分词作定语

10答案
21．B　提示：表特指用定冠词，泛指一类人中的一个用不定冠词。
22．B　提示：谈话的内容是现在通常的情况，故使用一般现在时态。
23．B　提示：句中的主语the three students与judge是逻辑上的动宾关系，即被动意义，故使用过去分词表被动意义，再者judge在句中的搭配为judge＋宾语＋形容词（判断……为……，认为……是……）。当judge用作不及物动词时，应使用judging from/by…
24．B　提示：incident意为“（发生的较小）事件；事变”。event意为“（发生的较大或重要）事件；（运动的）项目，一场比赛”。case意为“事例，实例，事实，真相”。affair意为“（私营、个别）事情”。
25．A　提示：倍数词＋as…as意为“是……多少倍”。
26．D　提示：as引导让步状语从句的句式为：名词/动词/副词/形容词＋as＋主语＋谓语动词（助动词）/情态动/be．
27．C　提示：Yes和No是用来回答一般疑问句的，故A，B可两项排除。D项不合乎问句的要求。问句表示说话人不知实情，所问的事与事实相反，故答语以But开头，说出与问者相反的事实。
28．C　提示：to be completed用作定语表示未来动作。being completed表示正在进行的动作。completed表示完成了的动作。
29．C　提示：see to it that…意为“留意……；负责；务必…”
30．A　提示：then指代at five o’clock，由语境可知是将来时间。将来完成时表示将来某时之前或某动作之前已经完成的动作。
31．D　提示：先行词the best way在逻辑上是定语从句中的谓语think of的宾语，故A项排除。to save是不定式短语作定语从句的目的状语。
32．B　提示：主语many指代“许多人”，与believe是逻辑上的主谓关系。Believing作原因状语。
33．B　提示：whatever＋名词；however＋形容词/副词，两者都可引导让步状语从句。
34．A　提示：由前句可知，“You”已回来了（不在俄罗斯），那么“You”在俄罗斯呆了多久是指过去的时间。
35．A　提示：对别人的请求给予帮助。
11答案
　21．C　提示：keep（sth）a secret意为“保密（某事）秘密”．secret是可数名词。for the moment意为“目前，暂时”。
22．D　提示：pleasure是不可数名词，意为“快乐，愉快，满足”。其与不定冠词a连用表示一次性经历。
23．C　提示：问句是一个（含两项）选择疑问句，答语中用any不合适，因为any指三者或三者以上的任何之一。
24．A　提示：list意为“把……登录，登记在……上”，用作及物动词，故应使用被动语态。include意为“包含”，included常置于名词或代词之后。including活用为介词，常置于名词或代词之前。
25．B　提示：may＋have done意为“或许做……”，表示推测。should（not）have done意为“本来（不）应该做……而没有做……/而做了……”，此表达与语境不符。have sb．do sth 意为“叫某人做某事”，不定式不可带to.
26．D　提示：no more．than．意为“与……一样不……”。
27．C　提示：make use of意为“利用”，含此动词短语的句子变被动语态时，可将of的宾语提到句首作主语，也可将use置于句首作主语。
28．C　提示：（It is）not that……but that相当于（It is）not because…but because…意为“不是因为……而是因为……”。
29．A　提示：进行时表示将来时。说话时比赛还在进行之中。
30．B　提示：the moment引导时间状语从句，意为“一……就……”。
31．B提示：“see＋宾语＋do/doing/done”意为“看到……故/正做/被做。”
32．C　提示：“would rather（not）have done”意为“宁愿（不）做……（而实际没做/做了……）”，这是一种虚拟语气的用法。
33．B　提示：plan to do sth意为“计划做……”，其中的不定式如是前面提到的动词，采取省略方式，只保留不定式符号to．
34．C　提示：How many/much和带any的一般疑问句的答语用none．What提问用nothing回答。quite a little=much．
35．D　提示：对建议和请求的回答是OK/All right，coming 是省略句，相当于I'm coming．

27．C　提示：play a…part…in…“在……起作用”。
28．C　提示：keep record of　“保持……记录”本题为其被动式。

32．B　提示：bargain作名词时为打价后的便宜货。
33．A　提示：should表惊讶，令人奇怪，出乎意料。
34．B　提示：As引导定语从句位于句首，其先行词为后面的句子。因此谓语动词用单数。
35．D　提示：当别人道歉时，常以that's all right，it doesn't matter，not at all等作答。
13答案
21．A　提示：closed为adj．闭着．open为adj睁着，均为状态。
22．A　提示：Mabel已经改变了主意，暗示她不会来了。
23．C　提示：in town在城里，in the country在农村均为固定搭配。

15答案
21. 解答该题的关键是要准确判断句子的部分否定与全部否定，作出选择。
根据上下文语境及答话人的意思：我敢肯定这部电影不可能使每个人都感兴趣，说明该句为部分否定。答案D。
22. 解答该题的关键是不仅要理解供选择的四个动词短语的意义，而且要结合题干中的名词与动词短语的关系来进行判断选择。
选项A、B、C三个动词短语都表示"继续"之意，与题干中名词a conversation with a native English speaker构成短语，不符句意。答案D。
23.解答该题的关键是根据上下文语境判断句子动作的一般式与进行式的用法区别。
根据答句He is on holiday.说明动作处于正在进行状态，而不是完成性的、过去发生的或经常性的动作，故排除选项A、B、C，选用现在进行时，答案为D。
24.解答该题的关键在于根据句意，准确判断选项动词在句中所作成分。
该题考查过去分词在句中用作原因状语。根据句意及句子结构可知，句子的主语Dr, Lillian Glass实际上就是选项动词的主语，相当于As he is known as ...引导的原因状语从句，为被动结构，故选过去分词known。答案为C。
25. 解答该题的关键是要准确定位两个关系代词所代指的先行词。
第一空the same as为固定结构，意思为"与……一样"；第二空为非限制性定语从句，关系代词代指前面整个句子内容，应选which。答案为C。
26. 解答该题的关键是准确把握句中名词的可数与不可数,泛指与特指之间的关系。
根据上下文语境可以知道，句中两个名词help 和chance 都用作可数名词，表示泛指。第一空help 代指an advertisement ，第二空more of a chance "多一次机会"。答案A。
27. 解答该题的关键是注意把握当请求他人帮助，而他人又帮不上忙时的回答方法。
根据对话情景可知，对话发生在两个陌生人之间，一人请求他人帮忙，但因为都是陌生人，未能提供帮助。对这种情景的回答，也要表示感谢，但在后面常用anyway 或all the same。答案C。
28. 解答该题的关键是根据语境准确区别情态动词may与 can 表示可能性，某种能力的用法。根据句意和句子的语气可知，第一空表示一种可能性，用may not speak "可能不会说"；第二空表示有某种能力。答案A。
29. 解答该题的关键是准确把握答句中位于句首的表示否定意义的介词短语at no time所暗示的选择条件。答句中否定介词短语at no time位于句首，表明了句子的主谓结构应采用部分倒装的形式，即将句中的助动词调至主语之前。根据句子意思该句为被动语态，排除选项B、C、D。答案为A。
30. 解答该题的关键是要准确把握多个形容词作定语时的词序。
根据多个形容词作定语词序排列规律"限定描绘大、长、高，形状、年龄和新老，颜色、国籍和材料，作用类别往后靠"。可知，选项中三个限定词分别为small（大、小）, black （颜色），leather（材料）。答案为B。
31. 解答该题的关键是要理清上下文语境，准确判断wish引导的宾语从句中虚拟结构的使用。
分析上下文语境可以知道，wish引导的宾语从句表示与将来事实相反的愿望，故应用would，could+动词原形。答案D。
32. 解答该题的关键是要注意当主语后面带有with等介词短语时谓语动词与主语在人称和数上的一致关系。题干中句子的主语是A gift ，介词短语together with many flowers在句中用作状语，故谓语动词应用单数形式，因动作已在过去发生，故用一般过去时。答案C。
33. 解答该题的关键是要准确把握句中的时间状语for some time所强调的时间段以及所使用的动词时态。根据句中时间状语for some time以及后一分句的动词时态可知，选项动词动作强调到现在为止并仍在继续，故应排除选项A、C。由于选项B现在进行时不可与一段时间状语连用，所以排除选项B，选D现在完成进行时。答案D。
34. 解答该题关键是要正确处理好"感觉动词、使役动词"主动形式与被动形式复合结构中动词的选用。根据句子结构可知，感觉动词see用于被动结构，选项A、C不可以用于这一结构中；选项B为被动意义，不成立；只有选项D(sweating)现在分词与be seen构成复合结构，强调状态。答案为D。
35. 解答该题的关键是要注意分析句子意思，准确把握句中从句的类型。
根据句子意思可知，空格后的从句是说明句子的主语The recent information 的内容，故该句是同位语从句，应选that连接主从句，且不可省略。答案为D。
16答案
21.解答该题的关键是准确定位选项代词所指代的句中名词，作出正确选择。根据句子意思可以知道，选项代词所代替的是句中不可数名词information，选项A、B、D必须替代可数名词，只有that可以替代不可数名词或特指的可数名词单数。答案C。
22.解答该题的关键是根据所给动词短语的意思，结合题干句作出正确选择。
take up开始学，从事，占去； get on 上车，相处,进展； pick up 拾起，学会，收听到，搭车；turn on打开。根据句子意思，应选择pick up，搭乘出租车。答案C。
23.解答该题的关键是要根据上下文语境中所提供的一般过去时的表示过去时间的对照点，准确判断过去完成时与一般过去时的用法区别。
问句中Got your driving license 为Have you got your driving license？现在完成时的省略表达，该句对选项无影响。决定选项动词时态的是答句中so I didn’t take the driving test last week.分析句意可知，选项动作发生在后一动作之前，表示过去的过去，故用过去完成时。答案为D。
24. 解答该题的关键在于要准确把握There be句子结构及系动词remain的用法。remain 在There be 结构中用作后置定语，由于remain是不及物动词，故应用现在分词remaining，相当于定语从句that remains；动词settle置于remain之后，应用动词不定式的被动结构来表示动作还未完成。答案为C。
25. 解答该题的关键是要注意判断表示地点的先行词在定语从句中用作宾语或状语时，以及用作表语时关系词的选用。
分析句子结构可以知道，两空均为定语从句结构，表示地点的先行词the farm 在第一空的定语从句中作谓语动词see的宾语，故第一空应为关系代词 that，which 或省略；the farm 在第二空的定语从句中作表语，故只可以用that 连接，不可用which，且不可省略。答案为A。
26. 解答该题的关键是要准确推断句中两个可数名词的特指与泛指。分析答句句意可知，第一、二空均为泛指，没有特指 "哪个事故或哪一辆车"之意，第三空则特指"该车的司机"。答案B。
27. 解答该题的关键是注意在交际用语中，询问他人要请求何种帮助时的表达方法。根据上下文情景，选项部分是答话人询问他人有什么要请求帮助时的用语。对此回答，在口语中，我们常用Yes？"什么事啊 "来表达。答案A。
28. 解答该题的关键在于区别can 与be able to 表示"能力"的用法。根据上下文语境及讲话人语气，选项动作表示经过努力才完成的。在这种语气的肯定句和疑问句中，常用be able to，在否定句中可用can。答案 C。
29. 解答该题的关键是要理解only引导的时间状语从句与主句的句子结构，准确辨别主从句的倒装关系。only引导状语从句位于句首，从句不可采用倒装形式，主句必须部分倒装。答案为D。
30. 解答该题的关键是要理解句子意思，分析选项，准确使用形容词比较级与最高级结构。根据句子意思可以知道，本题无比较之意，而含有最高级含义，故应排除选项A、B；选项C中的most 相当于very，不符合句子意思。答案为D。
31. 解答该题的关键是要注意在句型It is necessary(strange, natural, important...)+从句中，从句中谓语动词虚拟语气结构的使用。在句型 It is necessary(strange, natural, important...)+从句结构中，从句中谓语动词要用"should+动词原形"构成，should 可以省略。答案A。
32. 解答该题的关键是要理解题干结构，把握以every, no, each 等限定的并由and连接的两个并列名词用作主语时的主谓一致以及定语从句中的主谓一致。该题为一个带有定语从句的复合句，句中作定语的关系代词who指代先行词teachers，为复数，故谓语动词该用are； as well as连接两个主语时，谓语动词要根据前一个主语决定；由 every, no, each 等限定的并由and连接的两个并列名词作主语时，谓语动词要用单数形式。答案D。
33. 解答该题的关键是要注意分析句子成分以及判断选项在句中所起的作用。
分析句子结构和句子意思可知，空格所需的选项均为两个句子的主语，第一空作介词after的宾语；第二空作动词短语carry out 的宾语；根据四个选项，只有what可在句中作此成分。 答案为A。
34. 解答该题的关键是要注意区别定语从句与名词性从句在句中的用法。分析句子结构可知空格部分在此引导定语从句，但选项A主谓不一致，选项B缺少关系代词who，都应排除；选项C whomever只可用作句子的宾语，不符合句子结构；选项D whoever引导从句，用作从句的主语，构成宾语从句，相当于anyone who引导的定语从句。答案为D。
35.解答该题的关键是要在理解题干意义的基础上，准确辨别四个选项名词的意义，根据句子需要进行判断选择。
anxiety与 tension 同义，意思为"紧张"；mark"记号，痕迹"； sign"迹象，现象，标记"； remark"评论"。根据句意，应为show signs of tension"表现出紧张的样子"。答案C。江苏省石庄高级中学最新英语高考单项选择题（三）

江苏省石庄高级中学最新英语高考单项选择题题库答案与分析
17答案
21. 解答该题的关键是要注意分析说话者指向的范围，特别注意答话人的语意。根据问话人所用的most可以知道，句中 electronic dictionaries 应为三者以上，再根据答句意义判断，选项应为否定，故应选none。该句答句部分both...and很容易迷惑考生，使之误认为是两者的否定形式，而误选 neither。答案A。
22. 解答该题的关键是注意区别give up与put off的差异。根据句子意思，首先排除选项A开始学，从事，占去；B组成，构成；而选项C（give up放弃）强调主观意义，不符句子意思，故应选put off（推迟）。答案D。
23.解答该题的关键是要准确理解句意。根据题干中提供的时间状语来判断使用表示将来的多种时态中的哪一种。
根据题干中的时间状语between 7 and 8 this evening可知，选项动作是在将来某个时刻正在进行的，故应选用将来进行时， 口语中常用这种时态表示将来某时刻正在进行的动作或发生的事。答案为C。
24. 解答该题的关键是要理解选项动词与前面分句结构关系，并准确把握其主动与被动的意义以及动作的一般性和完成性。该句考查分词在句中用作结果状语。make up为及物动词短语，在前一分句动作之后发生，根据句意，表示主动，故应选making用作结果状语，相当于并列句and it made 或定语从句which made 句型结构。答案为C。
25. 解答该题的关键是要准确判断表示时间的先行词在定语从句中所作的成分以及非限制性定语从句中的关系词所指代的对象。句中的the days 为表示时间的先行词，在I stayed with the experts 的定语从句中用作时间状语，故第一空的关系词应选when 或in which；第二空关系词作主语引导非限制性定语从句，代指的是前面整个句子的内容，故必须选用which连接。答案为D。
26. 解答该题的关键是要理解"发明创造"的物质名词前冠词的使用，以及means意为"方式、方法、手段"时单复数的判断。第一空mobile phone"移动电话"为发明物，前面常用定冠词the；第二空名词 means单复数相同，在此为泛指"一种流行的通讯方式"。答案A。
27. 解答该题的关键是要注意在看医生时，医生对病人的安慰的用法的表达。
该对话是医生与病人之间的会话，当医生听到病人的病情介绍之后，在诊断前医生通常会安慰一下病人，使病人不至于过分紧张。所以用 take it easy"别紧张"等来对病人表示安慰。答案C。
28.解答该题的关键是要正确理解shall用作情态动词在句中的用法。根据讲话人语气可以知道，选项部分表示讲话是给对方的一种承诺，故应该选情态动词shall用于第二或第三人称用作主语的句子结构中。答案D。
29. 解答该题的关键是要注意一个分句中含有两个不同的谓语部分时，另一个分句倒装结构的选用。
根据题干及句子结构可知，它含有两个不同的谓语动词，当它的内容也适合另一个主语时，这个句子需用So it is/ was with sb/sth. 或It is/was the same with sb/sth. 来表示。选项C时态错误。答案为D。
30. 解答该题的关键是要准确把握比较级结构中由名词构成的倍数表达法。分析句意及选项可知，这是一个比较级结构中由名词所构成的倍数表达形式。在这一结构中，倍数要置于表示量的名词前面，后接of+另外一个比较对象，该题中more than 仅为一个修饰词，应置于倍数词前面，构成：the wings of the plane are more than twice the length of its body。答案为C。
31. 解答该题的关键是根据句子意思准确推断出主从句中谓语动词虚拟结构的使用，特别注意主从句动作所发生的时间不一致性的关系。根据句子结构可以知道，该题是由if引导的条件状语从句，分析句意，该句表示一种假设，从句中的动作是在过去发生，即表示与过去事实相反，主句的动作是在将来发生，即表示与将来事实相反，故从句谓语动词用had done，主句用would (could, might) +动词原形。答案A。
32. 解答该题的关键是要准确判断such...that与 such...as 引导从句的区别以及以kind of构成的短语作主语时主谓一致关系。 分析句子意思及句子结构，该句为such...as引导的定语从句，不属 such...that 引导的结果状语从句，故排除选项A、B；在 kind of +名词作主语时，其谓语动词要与kind保持一致，故该句中谓语动词用单数。答案C。
33. 解答该题的关键是要准确理解连系动词taste用主动形式表示被动的意义在句中的用法。根据选项动词及其句子意思可知，taste在此用做连系动词，后接形容词作表语，在这一结构中，taste常用一般现在时的主动形式表示被动意义。答案C
34. 解答该题关键是要在上下文语境中理解动词forget后接动名词与不定式的用法区别。
根据问话人的句意可知，"已与Mrs. Green取得联系"了。故回答部分说明"已经忘记了告诉电话号码这件事"，应该使用forget doing sth/having done sth "某事已做，但忘了"，forget to do sth意为"忘记要去做的事情"，强调动作还未发生。答案C。
35. 解答该题的关键是要注意连接词if 和whether引导名词性从句的用法区别。根据题干意义"……问题是你是否准备努力学习"，因此选项A、D不符合句子意思；if在名词性从句中仅可以连接宾语从句，不可引导其它名词性从句，故应排除。答案为B。
18答案
21. 解答该题的关键是要准确判断人称代词在句中作主语和宾语的用法。
第一空为主语的同位语，故选人称代词的主格；第二空为宾语的同位语，应选人称代词的宾格，分析四个选项可以知道只有A项符合句子结构。答案A。
22.由于选项B、C两个动词短语为不常见短语，意义生疏，故解题时必须根据题干句子意思进行排除选择。pick out挑出，选出； leave out 漏掉；figure out算出； take out拿出，取出。根据句意：他们十分仔细地算出了完成工程所需要的钱和时间，故应选figure out。答案C。
23. 解答该题的关键是根据语境所提供的信息及其句子的意义，判断一般现在时及过去完成时的用法区别。该句题干中没有提供任何时间状语，但从语境及句子的含义判断，选项动作表示在过去某个时间发生，所以，首先排除选项A、D，由于题干中没有表示过去时间的对照点，故再排除选项C。 答案为B。
24. 解答该题的关键是要根据上下文情景正确判断"前否后肯"反意问句的回答以及对句子结构的准确理解。根据答句句意"甚至最好的学生汤姆考试也失败了"可知，第一空应选Yes,(it is)意为"不，英语考试难"；第二空选项动词belong与to构成不及物动词短语，在句中用作定语，故应选现在分词belonging，相当于定语从句who belongs to ...,注意句子的主谓结构为Even Tom failed in it。答案为C。
25. 解答该题的关键是要准确判断定语从句中作定语的关系词的选用。
分析句子结构可知，该句为定语从句，先行词为a garden，空格部分应选 whose ，构成whose owner (=the owner of which；of which the owner)，该句也可改成and its owner...。答案为B。
26. 解答该题的关键是要掌握双方熟悉了解的名词表特指，序数词表示"又、再"时表泛指的用法。
根据语境可以知道，第一空为讲话人双方都知道的事，故应用定冠词the限制；第二空序数词third并非表示"第三"，而是"又、再"，故应该使用不定冠词。答案D。
27. 解答该题的关键是注意在餐馆里，客人与服务员之间常用的礼貌用语。对话首句为顾客对餐馆食物的赞扬，接下来是服务员的礼貌性回答。根据第三句客人所讲内容可知， 选项部分为服务员让客人点菜，故用 Shall I take your order来表达。 B项意思为"听您的吩咐；随时提供方便"不符合情境。答案A。
28. 解答该题的关键是要准确把握"情态动词+do"与"情态动词+have done"的用法区别。
根据上下文和讲话人语气，选项情态动词表示"过去本该做而实际未做的事"， 故应选用should have done 或ought to have done。 must do， ought to do表示还未发生的动作。need have done常用于否定或疑问句，表示"本来不必干某事"。答案 D。
29. 解答该题的关键是弄清在so ...that 或such...that 引导的结果状语从句中倒装句的运用。
在so...that 或such...that 引导的结果状语从句中，当so或 such 位于句首时，主句要采用部分倒装形式。答案为 D。
30. 解答该题的关键是要准确理解答句意义以及四个选项的比较级结构的不同表达。在比较级结构中"no+比较级+than"意思为"前者并不比后者更……"。根据答句意义，尤其是从at least 可以知道该句意思为"至少它不比我上次跟Joan 一起看的音乐会更糟"，故应选no worse than ；选项B 意义相反，不符合句意；选项C、D意义相同。答案为A。
31. 解答该题的关键是要把握otherwise表示转折意义后的句子结构中虚拟语气的使用。根据句子意义，otherwise 前的分句为客观事实，使用的为一般过去时，而otherwise 后一分句则表示与过去事实相反的一种假设，句中实际省略了if 条件句if I hadn’t been caught...故选项部分应为与过去事实相反的主句虚拟结构，应选 wouldn’t have kept。答案D
32. 解答该题的关键是要注意把握动名词、不定式以及主语从句用作主语时的主谓一致关系。
分析句子意思可知，该题是"动名词+名词复数"作主语，在这一结构中，谓语动词应由动名词决定，"写小说和文章"是强调"写作"这一概念，为单数形式，表示现在的状态。答案A。
33. 解答该题的关键是分析句子意思，推断从句类型。该题是主语从句，分析从句意义可知，选项B、C、D连接主语从句时，意义不成立，故应选连接词that，that在此无意义，仅起连接作用。答案为A。
34.解答该题的关键是要根据对话的语境及句子意思，准确理解四个选项的意义，作出选择。
根据答句意思："只要你过得开心，花钱多少都没关系。"故选as long as （只要）。选项A、B、D均不符合句子意思。答案为C。
35.解题的关键是准确把握表示"材料、功能、用途等"的名词作定语的用法。"路灯"是由表示"作用、用途"的名词street 用作限定词修饰light，应直接用作定语。该类名词用作定语不需’s或of构成短语。又如 coffee cup（咖啡杯）evening school（夜校），toothbrush（牙刷）。答案 D。
19答案
21. 解答该题的关键是要注意理清句子的结构，分析选项代词所指代内容。分析句子结构可以知道，该句是有转折连词 but连接的并列分句，故首先排除选项C（注意：如句中没有连词 but，可用关系代词which引导非限制性定语从句）。答案D。
22. 解答该题的关键是理解句意：区别四个由动词turn所构成的短语意义，作出正确选择。turn up调大（音量），出现；turn out结果是，证明是，生产，制造； turn down调低，拒绝；turn in交上去。答案B。
23. 解答该题的关键是要准确理解选项动词动作所发生的时间段，区别一般时态与进行时态的用法。
从问话人请求对方重复已讲内容，答话人认为对方在刚才他讲话时没有注意他所讲内容可知，该选项动作强调在过去某个时刻正在进行，表示说话的当时，故应选用过去进行时。答案为C。
24. 解答该题的关键在于准确把握"感觉动词"的复合结构的运用以及介词后There be结构的使用。
第一空动词attend为及物动词，表主动，根据感觉动词find所跟复合结构，不可使用to attend，过去分词attended表被动，意义也不成立，可选用attending或attend，但根据句意，此处强调状态，故attending现在分词为最佳选项；第二空介词about 后应使用动名词形式there being。答案B。
25. 解答该题的关键是要注意判断句中先行词与定语从句中谓语动词之间的关系，从而选用适当介词连接关系代词。前面的The artist 与从句中谓语动词构成的结构为gave a prize to the artist ，故应选to whom；后面的先行词the teacher 与从句中谓语动词构成的结构为have been taught painting by the teacher ，故应选by whom。答案为D。
26. 解答该题的关键是要准确把握固定短语中名词前冠词的使用及表示独一无二的名词或表示职务的名词前冠词的用法。第一空take office为固定短语，意思为"上台，当权、执政"，名词 office前不用任何冠词；第二空 president 表示独一无二职务的名词，用作表语、补足语、宾语、同位语，在此用作表语，前面不用冠词。答案D。
27. 解答该题的关键是要注意对他人的感谢回答用语的表达。上句意思为"非常感谢你送给我的礼物"， 下句应用"不用谢，不客气"之类的用语。答案D。
28. 解答该题的关键是要根据讲话人的语气，注意"情态动词+have done"表推测在句中的使用。
根据上下文语境可以知道，选项动作是对过去事情的推测，表示"过去已经责怪，而宁愿该事情没有发生"之意。故选I’d rather not have done，其它三个选项表示对将要做的事情的态度。答案B。
29. 解答该题的关键是要准确理解句子意思，并根据句子结构的需要，作出选择。分析句子意思可知，选项部分为让步状语从句，当从句中用作状语的形容词或名词位于句首时，要用as 或though，但助动词不前置。答案为C。
30. 解答该题的关键是要准确判断在表示两者的句子结构中，形容词比较级前冠词的使用。
在含有of the two 的句子结构中，句子的形容词要用比较级形式，并且被定冠词the限定， 意思为"两者中更……"。该句意思为："两位科学家中，你认为哪一位更成功？"答案为D。
31. 解答该题的关键是要准确判断as if引导的从句中虚拟结构的使用。在as if ，as though 引导的方式状语从句中，从句谓语动词要用虚拟结构，根据题干中动词所使用的时态可以看出，选项部分是表示与过去事实相反的动作，要用had + 过去分词构成。答案 D。
32. 解答该题的关键是要注意不可数名词被表示"数量、容量单位的复数名词+of"限定，用作主语时的主谓一致的运用。句中coal（煤）为不可数名词，被 three million tons of限定，在句中作主语。这时，句子谓语动词的数应与 of 短语中表示"数量"的名词"tons"一致，故要选复数形式的谓语动词。根据句子意思，选项部分为一般现在时的被动结构，选项 C、D都是主动语态结构。答案 B。
33. 关键是要注意gold 与golden 用作定语的意义区别以及honor 表示可数与不可数意义的用法。第一空"金牌"意思为"含金之物"，应用gold作定语，而golden 为比喻性形容词，意思为"金色的"。例如golden rice"金黄色的稻子"；第二空 honor 在此意思为"荣誉，光荣"，是不可数名词。答案B。
34. 解答该题的关键是要注意把握情景交际中表示邀请的应答用语的表达。题干中第一句为说话人的邀请，第三句为说话人对对方的应答表示感谢，可知答话人在应答时对说话人的邀请首先要表示感谢，然后应根据第三句中I’m glad you like it（it指代房子）.进行赞美。选项B、C意思偏离主题；选项 D与下文句子意思不符。只有选项 A符合英国人说话的特点：初到某地，先对其赞美一番。答案A。
35. 解答该题的关键是要注意区别not until所引导的强调句子倒装句的用法区别。分析句子结构可知，该题为It was not until的强调句型结构，故应选由that连接的陈述结构，由于 not前置，故陈述结构中必须使用肯定结构形式。 如果 not until引导的时间状语位于句首，则句子必须采用部分倒装形式，且用肯定结构。答案为B。

21. 解答该题的关键是要理清句子意思，判断表示两者的肯定代词与否定代词能否使句子意思前后一致。根据答句意义可以知道，此句为肯定意义，说明答话人对两者都表示满意，故首先排除选项A、B；选项D局部与整体意义矛盾，只有选项C符合句子意思。答案C。
22. 该题提供的四个短语意义较广，解答该题的关键必须结合句子意思进行排除从而得出正确答案。
carry out执行，实行；get through完成，度过，通过；take in吸收，领会； set aside不理会，搁置。根据句子的意思：这是一个好主意，但谁去执行这个计划呢？故选carry out。答案A。
23. 解答该题的关键是根据语境注意区别一般将来时与将来完成时的用法。
一般将来时表示将来某一时刻将要发生的动作，而将来完成时则表示将来某个时间之前已经发生或完成的动作。根据该句语境及其句意可知，该句选项动作表示将来完成的动作。答案为D。
24. 解答该题的关键在于正确区分分词的用法。根据句意可知，选项动词的逻辑主语the medicine与动词take之间为被动关系，实际上相当于一个时间状语从句only when it is taken...结构，故应选taken在句中用作状语。答案B。
25. 解答该题的关键是要准确判断such...that 引导结果状语从句与such ...as引导定语从句的用法区别。分析句子结构及句子意思可以知道，从句中的did 为及物动词，但后无宾语，故不可理解为such...that引导的结果状语从句，空格部分应选用关系代词as 引导定语从句代指先行词activities，构成such...as "像……一样"。答案为B。
26. 解答该题的关键是要把握抽象名词与抽象名词具体化代指某一个人或事物时，前面冠词的用法以及一些固定短语中冠词的使用。第一空抽象名词success在此具体化，代指 the party，意思为"一次成功的晚会"。 故应该用不定冠词a限定；第二空come to an end为固定短语，意思为"结束"。答案A。
27. 解答该题的关键是注意情景交际中接待用语的表达。根据问话可知选项部分为某一办公室接待人员回答客人的接待用语，句子意思为"这是Black 先生的办公室吗？琼"回答时应用after you"您请，您先请"来表达。答案C。
28. 解答该题的关键是要准确把握情态动词must的特殊意义在语境中的用法。
must 在此表示说话人的愿望或感到不耐烦，意思为"偏要"。句子意思为：正当我们要坐下来吃饭时，偏偏电话铃响了。其它选项无此意义，答案A。
29. 解答该题的关键是要根据句子意思以及句子谓语部分的结构，正确判断选项部分动词时态，语态以及语气的使用。根据题干中主句谓语动词的结构可知，该句是表示与过去事实相反的虚拟结构，从句中谓语部分应使用过去完成时，如果省略连词if，句子应采用部分倒装形式，即将助动词had调至主语之前，选项A、C为陈述语序，选项B为主动语态，均不符合句子结构。答案D。
30. 解答该题的关键是要准确把握副词与形容词之间、形容词与不定式之间的修饰关系及词序。
一般情况下，形容词修饰不定代词时，要放在不定代词的后面；副词修饰形容词时，要放在形容词之前，这样便构成something seriously wrong。答案为B。
31. 解答该题的关键是要注意在句型It’s time that...结构中虚拟结构的使用。在It is time that ...句型结构中，从句的谓语动词要用虚拟结构，可以用一般过去时，也可以用should +动词原形，但should不可省略。答案 C。
32. 解答该题的关键是要注意句中关系代词which所指代的名词。根据句子意思可知，句中关系代词which所指代先行词 novel为一整体概念的名词，应视为单数，说明代词 the rest为 novel的部分，也应该视为单数形式，故句子的谓语动词为单数形式，强调现状，用一般现在时。答案 A。
33. 解答该题的关键是要注意否定副词rarely与used to连用时，反意疑问句部分的结构。由于答句中used to 前否定副词的使用，说明该句陈述部分为否定结构，后面反意疑问部分要用肯定结构形式，故首先排除选项A、C。选项B的助动词不一致，应选用did或 used 来构成反意疑问句。答案为D。
34. 解答该题的关键是要注意把握以复数形式出现的书名、人名、国名等专有名词用作主语以及"many a+单数名词"用作主语时的主谓一致关系。题干中the Arabian Nights为书名，形式上是复数，但谓语动词要用单数形式；如果主语名词被 many a限定，从意义上看为复数，但谓语动词仍用单数形式。答案D。
35. 解答该题的关键是分析句子意思，根据连词意义，作出选择。根据句子意思可知，该题是时间状语从句，动词短语come to sth.意思为"谈到、涉及到"，因此，选项A、C无此意义；选项B(as) 引导时间状语从句时，意为"一边……一边"，强调主从句动作同时进行。只有when it comes to sth"当谈到……时"符合句子的意思。答案为D。
21答案
21. 解答该题的关键是要根据句子意思，判断选项代词的特指与泛指，肯定与否定的意思。根据句子意思，第一空没有特定范围，表示泛指；第二空应为表示否定意义的不定代词，意思为"没有人喜欢被人嘲笑"。答案A。
22. 解答该题的关键是结合句子的意思将短语代入，采用排除法进行选择，注意句子的意思与选项动词短语的意义一致。set about 着手；set off出发，激发； put forward提出； put out扑灭。句意为：当这个理论最初被提出时，绝大多数人不能接受。故选put forward。答案C。
23. 解答该题的关键在于准确把握动词serve 在句中主动语态与被动语态的使用。动词serve在此句中意思为"端上、摆出（饭菜）"，为及物动词。根据该句结构可知应使用被动语态，只有选项B为进行时的被动结构，其它选项均为主动形式。答案B。
24. 解该题的关键是准确把握连接词as if后非谓语动词的选用。当as if后面直接跟一个动词时，常使用不定式to do来表示目的，相当于as if he were (was) to do sth说明动作的未完成性。答案为C。
25. 解答该题的关键是要注意区别as和 which引导非限制性定语从句的用法。该题考查非限制性定语从句中的固定结构，as is often the case "正如……的情况一样"，在这种固定结构中as不可以用 which 代替。类似的还有as is known to us all, as is mentioned above, as we can see(know), as has happened等。答案为C。
26. 解答该题的关键是要注意辨别不可数名词前冠词的使用，以及可数名词表泛指或特指时冠词的用法区别。第一空由于不可数名词money 后有一个定语从句he earns限定，故为特指，应用定冠词the限定；第二空 family 为可数名词，根据句子意思推断可以知道为泛指，"养活像他家那样的一个大家庭"，故用不定冠词。答案A。
27. 解答该题的关键是根据答话人所表达的意思对对方所提建议作出正确应答。
从答话人所说可知，对对方所提建议不能采用，因此应回答I’m sorry, I can’t 。答案B。
28. 解答该题的关键是根据上下文语境，结合四个选项情态动词的意义进行分析判断，作出选择。can’t表示一种客观可能性; mustn’t表示绝对否定"一定不"；needn’t"不必"；won’t"不愿意"。根据语境及说话人语气，选项部分表示一种客观可能性。答案 B。
29. 解答该题的关键是要根据句子结构，准确判断选项部分倒装结构动词时态的选用。根据题干及句子结构可知，not until引导的时间状语从句位于句首，且表示过去某一点时刻所发生的动作，主句应采用一般过去时的部分倒装形式。答案为A。
30. 解答该题的关键是要理清含有倍数的同级比较结构中词的排列顺序。在含有倍数、百分数的同级比较结构中，倍数或百分数必须置于as...as 之前;由many或much修饰的复数名词或不可数名词必须置于 as...as中间。答案为D。
31. 解答该题的关键是要把握在虚拟条件句中，省略if时，句子结构的使用。
题干中主句的谓语动词使用了wouldn’t have made， 说明该动作表示与过去事实相反，故条件句使用表示与过去事实相反的虚拟结构if sb. had+过去分词，或使用 had sb. done 即省略了if的虚拟结构。答案D。
32. 解答该题的关键是要注意区别由and连接的两个可以兼类的名词作主语时的主谓一致关系。句中and连接的两个名词为可以兼类的表示人的职业的名词，当两个名词前被一个冠词限定时，应视为单数，表示一个人，当两个名词前分别有冠词限定时，应视为复数，表示两个人；根据句子结构，定语从句中的关系代词who指代的先行词就是前面的单数名词，故定语从句也应为单数形式。答案 A。
33. 解答该题的关键是要注意题干中从句的动词时态的使用，应排除干扰，作出选择。根据从句所使用的动词时态（现在进行时）可以知道，"由于你正在做事，不能出去"，故应选as连接原因状语从句，其它选项意义不成立。答案为A。
34. 解答该题的关键是要注意一些表示"饮料"的物质名词与数词连用时的用法。coffee为不可数名词，与数词连用时，常与其它名词构成of短语。如 three cups of coffee（三杯咖啡），但有时也可以用复数形式来与数词连用代替单位名词。如two white coffees（两杯清咖啡）；three teas （三杯茶）等。该题选项C、D为短语结构错误。答案 A。
35. 解答该题的关键是要准确把握打电话用语在情景交际中的运用。根据题干上句可知，是打电话用语。在电话中询问对方时常用Is that... speaking / Who is that（speaking） 答案C。
22答案
21. 解答该题的关键是要根据句子意思，推断选项代词的句中具体名词，作出正确选择。分析句子意思可以知道，选项代词所指代的名词为computers，且为特指，故应选the ones (=those)， 相当于the computers。答案D。
22. 解答该题的关键是要注意短语pick up的意义及题干句意的理解。give up放弃；catch up赶上； keep up维持； pick up学会，搭车，拾起，收听到，无意中得到。根据句子的意思：如果没有正确的指导，弹钢琴时就会染上许多坏习惯。答案D。
23. 关键是根据讲话人的说话意图推断动作所发生的时间点，并注意在语境中区别will 和be going to的用法。分析语境及讲话人意图可知，第一空强调过去的动作，并不表示现在发生的事，故应用一般过去时；第二空应选will，表示即时决定将要做的事，而be going to表示按计划、安排要做的事。答案A。
24. 解答该题的关键是要正确理解介词后动名词的主动式与被动式的选用以及动名词与其逻辑主语之间的关系。选项动词短语在句中用作介词of的宾语，应使用动名词形式，根据句意可知，介词of 后的名词the film为动名词短语try out的逻辑主语，且为被动关系，故应选用动名词的被动结构。答案D。
25. 解答该题的关键是根据句子结构，弄清楚定语从句、并列句及with复合结构的用法区别。
分析句子结构可知，空格部分为插入成分，此处选项A构成的并列句结构不成立，选项C、D意义一样，但句中缺少is构成的被动结构的定语从句。选项 B为with复合结构，符合句子结构。答案为B。
26. 解答该题的关键是要注意学科名词以及抽象名词knowledge前冠词的使用。第一空history 为学科名词，前通常不用冠词；第二空knowledge为抽象名词，一般不用冠词限制，但当其带有修饰语时，意思为"某种，（一种）……的知识"要用不定冠词a。答案 B。
27. 解答该题的关键是准确把握对他人的夸奖、赞叹的应答方法。根据上下文可知，该句是说话人对某件事的夸奖、赞叹，应答时应从表示感谢的角度回答。四个选项中，只有Oh， I’m glad to hear that含有此意。答案D。
28. 解答该题的关键是要准确判断情态动词表示对过去事情的推测与表示对现在事情推测的用法区别。根据上下文语境可以知道，选项动作为对现在事情的推测，故应选用must be doing，而选项A、B为对过去事情的推测，选项D表示"将必须做的事情"，均不符合句子情景。答案 C。
29. 解答该题的关键是要注意辨别强调原因状语从句中，连接词的选用。根据句子结构可以看出该句是一强调句型，被强调部分是原因状语从句。此句的陈述语序为She didn’t come to the party yesterday because she was injured in the accident.由It is/was+被强调部分+that连接句子的其它部分。答案为B。
30. 解答该题的关键是要注意弄清表示增补意义，在句中作状语的形容词和副词的用法区别，以及动词的?ed 与?ing形式在句中的用法区别。根据题干意义可知，空格部分是用来补充说明句子主语是怎样的，故选用形容词做状语，表示"人感到累"应用tired，由于选项是两个意义不一致的形容词，故用转折连词but 连接。实际上，该句相当于...the Smiths returned home and they were safe but tired。答案为A。
31. 解答该题的关键是要注意把握在表示"建议、命令、要求"等引导的名词性从句中，虚拟结构的使用。分析句子意思可以知道，名词suggestion之后的从句为同位语从句，从句中应使用 "should+动词原形"。其中 should 可以省略。答案A。
32. 解答该题的关键是要注意a number of 和the number of 后接名词复数作主语时的主谓一致关系。a number of意思为"许多"，后接复数名词作主语时，应视为复数，谓语动词要用复数形式； the number of后接复数名词，意思为"……的数量"，表示单数意义，谓语动词要用单数形式。答案B。
33. 解答该题的关键是要把握"处所"的省略形式表达法。根据问句可以知道，询问"处所"，回答应为"在格林的家里"，应表达为 at Mr green’s，是at Mr Green’s house的省略形式。选项A意为"格林一家人或夫妇俩"，选项 C、D为错误表达。答案 B。
34. 解答该题的关键是要注意以Do /Would you mind...的句型表示请求许可时的肯定和否定的回答。
在情景交际中，当对方以Do/ Would you mind...？提出请求时，若你同意对方的请求，要用 Not at all. /No, of course not./ No, go ahead.等进行回答；如果你不同意对方的请求。要用Yes, please don’t.等来回答。注意Never mind.不可用来回答Do/Would you mind... 的问句，常用在表示"道歉，后悔"的情景交际中。答案B。
35. 解答该题的关键是要准确把握并列句结构中反意疑问句的构成。该题为并列句结构，反意疑问句应由后一分句决定。后一分句是一个复合句结构，反意疑问句应由主句this is决定，指示代词 this构成反意疑问句时，必须用it代替。答案为B。
23答案
21. 解答该题的关键是要准确区别anything 与everything在肯定句中所表达的意义。根据答话人所说内容可以知道，房间里一切都很整洁，含有整体性，应用everything。anything用于肯定句时，表示强调，该句无强调之意。答案 C。
22. 解题的关键是要准确理解句子结构及句子意思。根据句子意思可知，答案为D。
23. 解答该题的关键是根据上下文语境准确理解选项动作所表达的时间发生点。根据上下文语境可知，选项动作已在过去发生或完成。但根据I really didn’t think可以判断出从句中的动作是从过去某时间看将来要发生的事，故应选过去将来时。答案C。
24. 解答该题的关键是要准确区分非谓语动词作状语的意义及用法，以及否定副词not的位置。
根据句意可知，选项动词为原因状语，表主动，强调动作的完成性，相当于一个原因状语从句：As I haven’t prepared tomorrow’s lessons...故应选B(Not having prepared);选项A为现在分词，不表示完成的意思；选项C为不定式的否定结构表目的；选项D为被动结构，not应置于分词being前面，均不符句意。答案B。
25. 解答该题的关键是要注意宾语从句的语序结构。空格部分是由特殊疑问词what引导的宾语从句，疑问词必须置于主从句之间且用陈述语序，故首先排除选项B、D；根据动词短语play a part in sth./doing sth. 可以知道，选项A 中缺少介词in。答案为C。
26. 解答该题的关键是准确把握表示类别的可数名词前冠词的用法以及一些介词短语中名词前冠词的使用。第一空crocodile为表示类别的可数名词单数形式，其前面常用定冠词 the 限定；第二空in danger of...为固定短语，名词 danger 前不用任何冠词。答案C。
27. 解答该题的关键是要准确理解问话人所表达的意思，从四个选项中找出符合句子逻辑的应答句。根据题干中问话人的意思"你看上去迷路了，需要帮助吗？",只有Yes, give me a hand, please.（"好，请帮我一个忙"）符合该情景，其它选项都偏离问话人的意思。答案A。
28. 解答该题的关键是根据讲话人语气及四个选项情态动词的意义准确作出判断。may not"不可以"，表示允许； mustn’t"一定不"，表禁止； needn’t"没必要"，表示一种建议；can’t"不能"，表示某种可能性。根据说话人语气，应选needn’t。答案C。
29. 解答该题的关键是要注意辨别句中强调句与定语从句的连接词的选用。根据句子意思可知，第一空为定语从句，先行词the farm 在从句he spent his childhood 中作地点状语，故选where；第二空为强调的陈述部分，应由连词that连接。答案为A。
30. 解答该题的关键是把握系动词后形容词或副词的选用以及谓语动词的主动形式表示被动意义的选用。分析题干可知，第一空taste在此作系动词，其后应接不带to be结构的形容词作表语。由于well作形容词时意思为"健康的"，不符合题意，故应选 good作表语；第二空sell 在此为不及物动词，后接副词well，意思为"畅销"，用sell的主动形式表示被动意义。答案为C。
31. 解答该题的关键是要注意would rather后从句中虚拟结构的使用。would rather后的从句，如果从句的谓语动词表示与现在或将来事实相反，常用一般过去时，如果与过去事实相反，用过去完成时。该题根据上下文语境可以知道，选项部分的动作是与将来事实相反，故应使用一般过去时。答案 B。
32. 解答该题的关键是要注意由特殊疑问词what引导的主语从句作主语时的主谓一致关系。
一般情况下，what引导主语从句，常表示单数意义，谓语动词用单数形式，但当它所指的具体内容是复数意义时，谓语动词要用复数形式。该题强调现在，用一般现在时态。答案A。
33. 关键是要准确判断反意疑问句在并列分句结构中的使用该题干为两个并列分句，反意疑问句必须由后一分句决定，let’s开头的祈使句，构成反意疑问句时，要用 shall we开头。答案为C。
34. 解答该题的关键是要注意有些形容词前加上the以后表示一类人用作主语以及 "one+and a half +复数名词"用作主语时的主谓一致关系。第一空the young 意思为"年轻人"表示复数意义，故谓语动词要用复数形式，且用主动语态；第二空 "one + and a half +复数名词"，常视为单数意义，谓语动词用单数形式，且用被动结构，选项B第一空为被动结构，不符合句子意思。答案 D。
35. 解答该题的关键是要准确把握复合句型结构中反意疑问句的构成。
分析句子结构可知，该句为同位语从句，反意疑问句应根据主句进行变化，该句主语为The news ，谓语部分为encourages us greatly为肯定结构，故反意疑问句应用否定形式。答案为A。
24答案
21. 解答该题的关键是要根据句子意思，分辨表示两者和三者意义的代词在句中的准确表达。
第一空用both，构成 both...and ，用来连接两个宾语"既方便，种类又多"；第二空用all 与not连用，表示部分否定，"并非所有的网站都安全"，此处无两者之意。答案D。
22. 解答该题的关键是要准确把握从句意义，结合四个选项的意义作出选择。
分析句子意思可以知道，该句为原因状语从句，选项C、D不符合题意。选项A表示原因，不可放在句首，故应选A项"既然，由于"。答案为B。
23. 解答该题的关键是要根据句子含义准确判断动词suppose在句中的用法以及动词所发生的时间。
根据句子意思，应选用be supposed to"应该做……、被要求做……"，故排除选项A、B；分析上文情景，句中动词使用现在时形式，强调现在的状态 ，所以，再排除选项D。答案C。
24. 解答该题关键是要注意疑问词后接不定式主动结构与被动结构用作宾语时的用法区别。
根据句意及句子结构可知，选项部分不定式与疑问词一起作为句子的宾语，在这一结构中，常用不定式的主动结构，可以转换为宾语从句：but no one knew which office he would send it to。注意send sth to sb/sp为固定短语，to为介词，不能省略。答案A。
25. 解答该题的关键是要了解whatever 与no matter what引导从句的用法区别。
根据句子结构及句子意思可知，该句为一宾语从句，选项A、B不符合句子意思；选项D只可引导状语从句，只有whatever work 符合句子结构及句子意思，相当于any work that 引导的定语从句。答案为C。
26. 解答该题的关键是要准确理解四个选项名词的词义，并根据句子的意思判断，作出正确选择。
behavior意思为"举止，行为"；action "动作"；manner"方式"； movement "运动，行动"。答案A。
27. 解答该题的关键是要注意把握对他人表示鼓励性的建议的应答方式。
题干上句中Have another go 意思为"再试一下"，是对方的一种建议方式，三个选项A、B、C均不符合情景交际用语。只有 Good idea"好主意"符合情景。答案D。
28. 关键是对can’t...too...to的理解。根据句子意义：无论怎么注意你的阅读技巧都不过分。同时句中由于有了too...to结构，只有can’t 可以与它构成固定短语，有此含义。其它选项无此意。答案A。
29. 解答该题的关键是要注意强调句中强调特殊疑问词用作宾语从句部分时的语序。
分析句子意思以及句子结构可知，空格部分为强调特殊疑问词when，且为宾语从句结构，故特殊疑问句必须置于主从句之间，并且要使用陈述语序，故应选when it was that。答案为D。
30. 解答该题的关键是要根据上下文语境，准确推断出部分虚拟结构的使用。
根据对话情景可知，答句Unfortunately, you were out on business.（不幸的是你出差了）实际上是上一句暗示的条件。从答句所给的特定的动词时态（一般过去时）来看，上句所说内容是对过去情况的假设，故暗示的条件句应为If I hadn’t been out on business，由此可见，选项部分为主句的谓语动词，表示与过去事实相反，应选用would have come。答案 D。
31. 解题的关键是要正确理解句子的意义，根据四个选项的意义及在句中的结构作出选择。
hardly和scarcely均为"几乎不"，与题干中的not 构成双重否定，不符合句子意思；almost与not连用时，almost 常置于not前面，意思为"几乎不"；只有 not nearly为正确结构，意思为"相差很远"。答案为C。
32. 解答该题的关键是要准确判断there be结构中地点状语前置的主谓一致关系。
在there be句型结构中，如果有两个或两个以上的名词位于 there be之后，用作句子的主语时，be动词的单复数应与最靠近它的名词保持一致，故第一空选 is；第二空为地点状语前置，选项后的名词为句子的主语，为复数名词，故谓语动词要用复数形式。选项 C、D均为结构错误。答案 B。
33. D　提示：over again反复，time and again和over again 均为又一次之意。now and again时而，只有D与题意相符。
34. D　提示：已经搬进为完成时，在等着为进行时，将要建成为将来时，the rest of them为复数为D。
35. B　提示：句中的主语the three students与judge是逻辑上的动宾关系，即被动意义，故使用过去分词表被动意义，再者judge在句中的搭配为judge＋宾语＋形容词（判断……为……，认为……是……）。当judge用作不及物动词时，应使用judging from/by…江苏省石庄高级中学06届完形填空专项练习（二）

Scott and his companions were terribly disappointed. When they got to the South Pole, they found the Norwegians（挪威人）had 36 them in the race to be the first ever to reach it. After 37 the British flag at the Pole, they took a photograph of themselves 38 they started the 950-mile journey back.

通观全文，这篇文章讲述的是一队到达南极点的人们，在返回的过程中的艰辛历程，考生只有在把握了全
文之后，才有可把握好细节的处理。
36--40DCDDC 41-- 45CDCBA 46--50.ABAAD 51--55 DBA DC
36．A．hit B．fought C．won D．beaten
从上文中可以看出他们在和挪威人的竞赛中失败了，不难考虑到C和D选项。win意为“赢得，获胜”，后面通常用sth.来做宾语，如：win a match, win a war, win a competition, win an award等等。Beat意为“击败，打败（某人）”，后面同用sb.来做宾语。本题后的宾语是them，所以要说beat them.
37．A．growing B．putting C．planting D．laying
这里是要说“在他们把英国旗插好后，他们照了相”，那么“插旗子”动作用put和lay这两个动词（意为“放，放置“）显然不如用plant这一动作更为合适。
38．A．after B．until C．while D．before
他们是在出发之前照的像，所以要用before。
39．A．safe B．fast C．short D．slow
从下文我们可以看出他们的归程并不顺利，充满艰辛，而且因为不断出现的意外情况，而耽误了时间，因此他们的旅程是unexpectedly slow --- 令人没料到的慢。
40．A．rose B．set C．appeared D．disappeared
从下文的The snow storms always make it impossible to sight the stones they had……，可以想象出当时的天气非常糟糕，总是有暴风雪，所以这里才说the sun hardly appeared ---他们几乎没见到过太阳。
41．A．taken up B．cut up C．set up D．picked up
这里考查了考生对行文的理解和动词词组的辨析。take up意为“拿起，占……，消耗”；cup up意为“切碎”；set up意为“竖立，建立，设立”；pick up意为“拾起，接人”。这里的意思是：他们在去的路上，为了回来，立了一些标志。这几个动宾搭配的词组在英文中都是比较常用的，应当注意区分。
42．A．easier B．better C．bitter D．worse
从上文得知由于气候恶劣使得他们的行程很不顺利，而下文又告所我们他们的队员掉进了a deep hole in the ice，所以，可以看出，事情变得更糟糕了。
43．A．to B．upon C．as D．in
think of sb. as……意为“认为某人……，把某人看作……”。
44．A．battled B．struggled C．speeded D．waited
这道题考查对动词和上下文的理解，这句话的意思是：他在挣扎了几天之后，突然沉下去，死了。从句意来看C选项的speed不构成干扰。而D选项的wait显然不合逻辑，因为没有人愿意“等死”，况且这些人还都是身强力壮、意志坚强的探险队员。B选项的battle 用作动词时，意为“战斗，打仗”，用在这里，显然也是不合适的。
45．A．left B．lost C．defeated D．saved
The four who were left意为“剩下的四个人”，who were left是the four的定语从句。这是一道细节判断题，所以只要看懂上下文，是不难选出正确选项的。
46．A．manage B．try C．employ D．find
从上文我们已经得知由于恶劣天气和一名队员的事故使他们的行进速度很慢，因此，此处我们可以判断出，他们尽可能的设法加快他们的前进速度。manage意为“设法”，而try的意思则是“试着”。
47．A．ached B．frozen C．harden D．harmed
这也是一道比较简单的细节判断题。因为天气寒冷，所以脚既然是被“冻伤了”，因此要用frozen这一词。
48．A．hardly B．never C．seldom D．nearly
从上文得知Captain的脚冻伤了，因此第二天早上，脚肿得几乎穿不上鞋了。根据文意，可以看出hardly是最佳选项。never是合逻辑的，因为，下文说道：and he walked bravely although……，显然不是Captain根本穿不上鞋了。而seldom是一个表示是动作发生频率的副词，意为“不常，很少”。
49．A．pain B．fear C．trouble D．danger
此题考查词义，这几个次均为常用词，所以只要理解了文章，做出正确判断应当不成问题。这里说在Captain的脚冻伤之后，虽然还在坚持行走，但是忍受的巨大的痛苦，所以，只有pain才是最符合文意的。
50．A．all others B．some others C．others D．the others
这里的意思是：他知道由于他的行动迟缓，使得其他（三）人也不太可能的救。除了它以外的其他人，要用the others来表示。选项A是个干扰项，有些考生可能觉得“其他所有的人”也符合文意，从意思上看是通的，但是英文要这样说“all the others”。另外，从下文的53题后面的句子中也可以找到改题的答案。
51．A．away B．with C．off D．on
52．A．bed B．tent C．blanket D．sleeping-bag
此处意思是：他有求他们把他留在那，可他们拒绝了他的要求，又帮助他走了几英里的路，一直走到他们该支帐篷宿营的时候“。51题中的on意为“继续地、向前地”。
53．A．while B．since C．for D．once
这道题还是考查对文意的理解，在读懂了“当别人还在睡觉的时候，他要出去”之后，就会知道while是唯一符合文意的选项，其他几个选项不形成干扰。
54．A．missed B．separated C．passed D．gone
55．A．patiently B．lonely C．alone D．worriedly
通过上文“I’m just going outside”我们可以知道他要出去，这里“be gone”就是“be away”的意思，意为“离开”，所以没有引起其他队员的注意。事实上，be gone在这里是一个双关语，除了“离开”的意思，它还有“死了”的意思。所以，下文写到，他在也没有回来，而是独自一人走进了那冰天雪地。

Interview With God
I dreamed I had an interview with God.“So you would like to interview me ”God asked.“If you have the time,”I said.“My time is eternity.”God smiled,“what questions do you have in mind for me ”“What surprises you most about humankind ”God answered,“That they get bored with childhood,they rush to grow up,and then long to be children again.That they lose their health to make money... and then lose their money to restore their health.That by thinking anxiously about the future,they forget the present,such that they live in neither the present nor the future.That they live as if they will never die,and die as though they had never lived.”God’s hand took mine and we were silent for a while.And then I asked,“As a parent,what are some of life’s lessons you want your children to learn To learn they cannot make anyone love them.All they can do is to let themselves be loved.To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others.To learn to forgive by practicing forgiveness.To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in those they love,and it can take many years to heal them.To learn that a rich person is not one who has the most,but is one who needs the least.To learn that there are people who love them dearly,but simply have not yet learned how to express or show their feelings.To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it differently.To learn that it is not enough that they forgive one another,but they must also forgive themselves.”“Thank you for your time,”I said humbly.“Is there anything else you would like your children to know ”God smiled and said;“Just know that I am here always.”

Eleven-year-old Angela was stricken with a debilitating disease involving her nervous system.She was unable to walk and her movement was restricted in other ways as well.The doctors did not hold out much hope of her ever recovering from this illness.They predicted she’d spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair.They said that few,if any,were able to come back to normal after contracting this disease.The little girl was undaunted.There,lying in her hospital bed,she would vow to anyone who’d listen that she was definitely going to be walking again someday.
She was transferred to a specialized hospital in the San Francisco Bay area.Whatever therapies could be applied to her case were used.The therapists were charmed by her undefeatable spirit.They taught her about imaging—about seeing herself walking.If it would do nothing else,it would at least give her hope and something positive to do in the long waking hours in her bed.Angela would work as hard as possible in physical therapy,in whirlpools and in exercise sessions.But she worked just as hard lying there faithfully doing her imaging;visualizing herself moving,moving,moving!
One day,as she was staining with all her might to imagine her legs moving again,it seemed as though a miracle happened:The bed moved!It began to move around the room!She screamed out,“Look what I’m doing!Look!Look!I can do it!I moved,I moved!”
Of course,at this very moment everyone else in the hospital was screaming,too,and running for cover.People were screaming,equipment was falling and glass was breaking.You see,it was the recent San Francisco earthquake.But don’t tell that to Angela.She’s convinced that she did it.And now only a few years later,she’s back in school. You see,anyone who can shake the earth between San Francisco and Oakland can conquer a piddling little disease,can’t they

Interpersonal Distance
With the outbreak of SARS,everyone tried to avoid coming into close contact with each other.In those days,interpersonal distance increased,“close contact” almost became synonymous with “danger”,and even children couldn’t have close contact with their mothers.Now SARS has disappeared,and we return back to normal living again.Then,how can we do handle interpersonal distance in our everyday lives
Studies show that interpersonal distance can be divided into 4 different types:intimate distance,personal distance,social distance,and public distance.
Intimate distance is the interpersonal distance of a person with the people closest to him or her.It ranges from 0 to 45 cm.When a stranger comes within this distance,a person will have strong negative reaction.In crowded buses,strangers usually maintain rigid poses and try to avoid body contact,but couples,lovers,children and their mothers usually lean close to each other.Intimates who aren’t able to live close together for a long time can become alienated.Also,touching is also very important.A contrast test shows that the nervous systems of babies who are often caressed by their mothers develop much faster and their weight increases faster,by 47%,than that of other babies.
Personal distance ranges from 45 cm to 1 m.People can converse genially at this distance without invading each other’s personal space.When friends and acquaintances meet on the street,they usually greet and converse at this distance.
Social distance generally ranges from 1 m to 3 m.Among this range,1-2 m is usually the distance in which people deal with private affairs in social activities.For example,when you get money from banks,in order to protect your privacy,other customers are required to stand at least 1 m away from you.2-3.5 m is a farther social distance.Business talks usually occur at this distance.Besides talking,proper eye contact is also indispensable.Otherwise,each side will feel disrespected.
Public distance is usually used in public gatherings.It generally ranges from 3.5 m to about 7 m.Beyond this range,people can’t communicate using a normal voice.In classrooms,experienced teachers usually leave their lecture platforms to enhance their teaching.
Under different cultural contexts,the interpersonal distance differs slightly,but its basic laws are the same.When conversing,people in love lean very close to each other,acquaintances lean closer than strangers,females lean closer than males,and extraverts lean closer than introverts.In life,harmonious interpersonal relationships are set upon proper interpersonal distances,and some conflicts start from improper interpersonal distances.
64.According to the text,the strangers standing close to each other in a crowded bus may_________.
A.try to keep a distance away B.feel uneasy
C.feel nervous D.be rude to each other
65.The distance between a teacher and students in class belongs to _________.

C.social distance D.public distance
66.The interpersonal distance between two people is mainly determined by _________.

C.their characters D.their cultural background
67.To keep proper interpersonal distance is important because _________.

B.it helps to protect privacy
C.wrong interpersonal distance may result in misunderstanding
D.improper interpersonal distance may hurt others

Though “nanometer” is now a fashionable term all over the world,few people know exactly what it is.It has become a new favorite of manufacturers and sellers in recent years.Many “high-tech” products bearing the name “nano” have entered the market,bringing more mysterious feeling to surprised consumers.
Nanometer is a very small length unit of measure,and is very small.One millimeter is 1000 micrometers,and one micrometer is 1000 nanometers.That is,one nanometer is one billionth of a meter.Nano materials are solid materials composed of particles or crystallites of less than 100 nanometer in size.Then,is a cup made of nano material really any different from an ordinary cup in function as far as how it works
Are nano cups really so wonderful A reporter went to the Institute of Nanomedicine,which is the first such institute of such a sort in the world and the only one in China,specializing in researching the investigation of the application of nano technology into medicine.
Ji(director Institute of Nanomedicine):
A water molecule is composed of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom.It can be alterchanged only by special manipulation of the atoms.The material constituting the cup can have a nanometer particles size of the nano level.But it cannot change the chemical and physical properties of the water contained in it.The water in the cup is still water.When people drink it,it will produce no special effect on human body.
Prof.Ji told the reporter,so far,the investigation of nano materials is still confined in the laboratory.No commercial micro products can be produced yet.With the present level of science and technology,the time of everyday goods age of daily use articles made of nanometer materials is still years away.
The commodities labeled with nano marks in the market now are only traditional products coated with a thin layer of nanometer material,which makes them more abrasion resistant,much easier to be cleaned,or oil repelling or moth proof.
Prof.Ji explained that nano cup is a real cup.It can also be included in the list of nano products in a certain sense.But the nano cup has not changed its property and function as a cup.It is not a magical medicine for curing and health care.
68.Which of the following shows the right relationship
A.nanometerB.nanometerC.micrometerD.millimeter69.The underlined part in the last second paragraph but one is about_________.
A.the strong points of nano cups B.the shortcomings of nano cups

Snow-melting Agent
A heavy snow can kill pests and this means a good harvest next year.This will bring as well as trouble to urbanites.
On Nov.16,2003,a cold air current brought a heavy snow to Beijing.To prevent traffic jams,related government departments mobilized people to clear off snow on streets.
One of the most effective ways to clear off snow on roads is to scatter snow-melting agent on the roads.The major component of the snow-melting agent is salt.The snow-melting agent can make snow stop from freezing,make it easier to clear off the road,and allow traffic to flow smoothly.But it also brings about some hidden dangers.In the spring of 2003,over 300 000 trees in Beijing urban districts died.After analyzing soil around these trees,experts discovered that the salt content of these soils was 392 times higher than normal.Where did the excessive salt come from After investigating,forestry experts found that when clearing snow in the winter,people usually heap snow containing snow-melting agent at trees’ roots,and that when the snow melts,this agent penetrates the soil and increases its salt content.The snow-melting agent indirectly killed the trees.
Statistics show that during a heavy snow in 2002,over 1000 tons of snow-melting agent was scatterred on streets in Beijing.Snow water containing a large amount of snow-melting agent got into the soil through sewers.
In addition,salt in the snow-melting agent can expedite the corrosion of steel bars in concrete buildings and cause the concrete to crack and peel,shortening the life of roads.
Scientists and government officials are required to solve traffic problems caused by heavy snows as soon as possible and at the same time try to reduce the negative effects of the snow-melting agent.This is a difficult problem placed before them.Related authorities have framed some local criteria to regulate the production and use of snow-melting agents.
Now,more harmless snow-melting agents are being developed.Now that even snow-melting agents that meet today’s criteria must still be used carefully,we have to rely more on our manpower and machines to clear off snow.
This year,in addition to using snow-melting agents,Beijing will use a large number of snow vehicles to clear snow on roads.In more places,citizens are mobilized to clear snow with their hands.This may be a test of a city’s civilization level.
72.Salt is a snow-melting agent while _________ is a cleaning agent.
A.water B.soap C.a washing-machine D.a housewife
73.The third paragraph of the text is mainly about _________.
A.the side effect of snow-melting agent
B.a case of damage to trees caused by snow-melting agent
C.the results of using snow-melting agent
D.the uses of snow-melting agent

Americans have contributed to many art forms,but jazz,a type of music,is one of the art forms that was started in the United States.Black Americans,who sang and played the music of their homeland,created jazz.
Jazz is a mixture of the music of Africa,the work songs the slaves sang,and religious（宗教）music.Improvisation is an important part of jazz.This means that the musicians make the music up as they go along,or create the music on the spot.This is why a jazz song might sound a little different each time it is played.
Jazz bands formed in the late 1800s.They played in bars and clubs in many towns and cities of the South,especially New Orleans.New Orleans is an international seaport,and people from all over the world come to New Orleans to hear jazz.
Jazz became more and more popular.By the 1920s,jazz was popular all over the United States.By the 1940s,you could hear jazz not only in clubs and bars,but in concert halls as well.Today,people from all over the world play jazz.Jazz musicians from the United States,Asia,Africa,South America,and Europe meet and share their music at festivals on every continent.In this way jazz continues to grow and change.

There are no exact differences between physics and other natural sciences because all sciences overlap(重叠）.In general,however,physics is the scientific study of forces and qualities such as heat,light,sound,pressure,gravity and electricity,and the ways they affect other objects.
One major branch of physics deals with the states of matter—solids,liquids and gases and with their motions.The pioneer achievements of Galileo,Kepler and Newton dealt with solid masses of matter in motion.Such studies deal with forces acting on moving objects.It is the subject of mechanics and belongs to the branch of mechanics called dynamics,the study of matter in motion.This large topic includes not only the motions of stars and ping-pong balls but also the motions of the water pumped by a fire engine and those of the air passing through the jet engine of an airplane.
A branch of mechanics is statics(静力学）,the study of matter at rest.The designs of buildings and bridges are examples of problems in statics.Other branches of physics are based on the different kinds of energy,which interact with matter.They deal with electricity and magnetism（磁力）,heat,light,and sound.From these branches of physics scientists find clues(线索） which have revealed(揭示） the constructions of atoms and how the atoms react to various kinds of energy. This knowledge is often called the basis of modern physics.Among the many subdivisions（细的分支） of modern physics are electronics and nuclear physics.Physics is closely related to engineering.A person who uses knowledge of physics in solving everyday problems is often called an engineer.For example,electricity is one of the branches of physics;and an electrical engineer is a man who uses the “natural laws” of electricity to help in designing and electric generator(电动机）.
71.Physics is not exactly different from other natural sciences because_________.
A.physics and other natural sciences have parts in common
B.it is the scientific study of forces and qualities such as heat,light and sound
C.it studies the ways in which forces and qualities affect other objects
D.it is a part of other natural sciences
72.The following statements are included in the study of dynamics except_________.
A.the design and construction of skyscrapers
B.the motions of heavenly bodies
C.the motions of water pumped by a fire engine
D.the motions of the air passing through the jet engine of an airplane
73.Among many branches of modern physics is _________.
A.states B.electricity C.electronics D.mechanics
74.This knowledge” in Paragraph Three refers to_________.
A.electricity and magnetism,light and sound
B.the construction of atoms and their reactions to various kinds of energy
C.the basis of modern physics
D.electronics and nuclear physics
75.The passage is mainly about_________.
A.the changes in our life brought about by physics
B.the states and motions of solids,liquids and gases
C.the interactions of matter with different kinds of energy
D.the branches of knowledge making up the science of physics

More than 12 300 people were killed and tens of thousands left homeless after a powerful undersea earthquake unleashed giant tsunami waves that crashed into the coasts of south and southeast Asia.
The 8.9 magnitude earthquake that struck off the Indonesian island of Sumatra early on Sunday was the biggest in 40 years.It triggered waves that reared up into walls of water as high as 10 meters(30 feet) as they hit coastlines in Indonesia,Sri Lanka,India and Thailand.
Aid agencies rushed staff,equipment and money to the region,warning that bodies rotting in the water were already beginning to threaten the water supply for survivors.
Rescue workers also spoke of bodies still caught up on trees after being flung inland by the waves.
“I just couldn’t believe what was happening before my eyes,”Boree Carlson said from a hotel in the Thai resort of Phuket.
“As I was standing there,a car actually floated into the lobby and overturned because the current was so strong,”said the 45-year-old Swede.
“I heard an eerie sound that I have never heard before.It was a high pitched sound followed by a deafening roar,”said a 55-year-old Indian fisherman who gave his name as Chellappa.
“I told everyone to run for their life.”
In Indonesia,an archipelago of 17 000 islands,one official said nearly 4500 people had died.The worst affected area was Bands Aceh,the capital of Aceh Province,where 3000 were killed.More than 200 prisoners escaped from a jail when the tsunami knocked down its walls.In Sri Lanka（斯里兰卡）,the death toll also reached 4500 and 1 million people,or 5 percent of its population,were affected.It was the worst natural disaster to hit Sri Lanka.Hundreds of thousands of Sri Lankans sheltered in schools and temples overnight,and officials expected the death toll to rise further once rescuers resumed searches after daybreak.In southern India,where at least 3000 were estimated to have died,beaches were littered with submerged cars and wrecked boats.Shanties on the coast were under water.
Thai government officials said at least 392 bodies had been retrieved and they expected the final toll to approach 1000.
The earthquake,of magnitude 8.9 as measured by the U.S. Geological Survery (news-web sites),struck at 7:59 a.m.(1959EST).It was the world’s biggest since 1964,said Julie Martinez at the USGS(news-web sites).
The tsunami was so powerful it smashed boast and flooded areas along the east African coast,3728 miles away.
60.What does the underlined word “tsunami” probably mean
A.Tidal wave. B.Wave.
C.Earthquake. D.A man who kills many persons.
61.What does the passage mainly talk about？
A.Asian tsunami kills many people,and many more become homeless.
B.An earthquake happens.
C.The tsunami was so powerful that it smashed boats and people.

Healthy knees aren’t the main consideration in choosing high heels,but new research says chunky heels are just as bad for the knees as spindly stilettos（细高跟鞋）.“It takes a long time to feel the effects of knee osteoarthritis（骨关节炎）—and once you do it,it is too late,”said Dr.Casey Kerrigan,leading researcher of the study and associate professor at Harvard Medical School’s department of physical medicine.“I compare it to smoking—one cigarette is not painful,but over a lifetime it is.Wide-heeled shoes feel comfortable,so women wear them all day long,”Kerrigan said.“They are better for your feet than stiletto heels,but just as bad for your knees.”
In the study,researchers had twenty women wear two pairs of shoes with three-inch heels,one with a narrow heel and the other with a thick one.The scientists compared how much pressure was put on the women’s knees by both types of shoes.The women also walked bare-foot to test normal pressure.The scientists found that both types of shoes applied equal amounts of pressure to the pared with walking barefoot,the heels increased pressure on the inside of the knee by 26 percent.Increased pressure on the knee eventually leads to arthritis,experts say.
The idea that high heels are bad for your health isn’t new—scientists have warned women for years that they contribute to problems ranging from corns to hammer toes,tendonitis,knee pain,sprained(扭伤)ankles and back problems.But in 1998,Kerrigan and a team of Harvard researchers were the first to link high heels and knee osteoarthritis,a painful joint disease that destroys cartilage(软骨)surrounding the knee.The first study looked only at stiletto heels,and Kerrigan said she wanted to study the chunky high-heeled shoes she noticed many women wearing.“This study confirms what we all intuitively（直觉地）know that high-heeled shoes of any kind are not good for our health,”said Dr.Glem Pfeffer,a San Francisco doctor and member of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons who was not connected to the study.
63.We learn from the passage that women choose chunky heels because _________.
A.they want to walk comfortably
B.chunky heeled shoes are cheaper than stiletto heeled pairs
C.chunky heels do less harm to knees
D.chunky heels are not painful at all
64.The study mentioned in the second paragraph found that _________.
A.pressure on the foot is caused by high heels
B.the pressure is abnormal while walking barefoot
C.arthritis is always caused by pressure on the knees
D.both types of shoes have the same harm to the knees
65.It can be inferred from the passage that _________.
A.people got to know the high heels are bad for health recently
B.people have known the high heels are bad for health for years
C.people haven’t known the high heels are bad for health yet
D.people will be warned that the high heels are bad for health soon
66.Kerrigan’s late study looked at the chunky high-heeled shoes because _________.
A.they feel more comfortable
B.they are related to knee osteoarthritis
C.they are worn by many women
D.they are different from stiletto heels
67.The best title for the passage may be _________.
A.Talking Healthy Knees into Consideration
B.High-heels Do Harm to Knees
C.Chunky Heels and Stiletto Heels
D.When Wearing High-heels

Watch a baby between six and nine months old,and you will observe the basic idea of geometry（几何学）being learned.Once the baby has mastered the idea that space is three dimensional（空间的）,it reaches out and begins grasping various things,that the ideas of sets and numbers are formed.So far,so good.But now an ominous development takes place.The nerver fibers in the brain separate themselves in such a way that the baby begins to hear sounds very exactly.Soon it picks up language.And it is then brought into direct communication with grown-ups.From this point on,it is usually downhill all the way for mathematics,because the child now becomes exposed to all the rubbish words and beliefs of the born.Nature,having done very well by the child to this point,having permitted it the luxury（奢侈）of thinking for itself for eighteen months,now gives it up to the unreasonable conventions（惯例）and beliefs of society.But at least the child knows something of geometry and peaceful days,no matter what vicissitudes（兴衰变迁）it may suffer later on.The main reservoir of mathematical ability in any society is thus possessed by children who are about two years old,children who have just learned to speak freely.
68.What does the passage mainly discuss
A.The impact（影响）of language on mathematics.
B.Children’s ability to learn languages.
C.How basic ideas of physics are learned
D.Maths-learning strategies（策略）for babies.
69.According to the passage,which of the following activities would teach a baby about geometry
A.Picking up a wooden block. B.Recognizing the number 2.
C.Saying a rubbish word. D.Looking at a distant word.
70.The use of the word “ominous” shows that the writer believes the child’s _________.
A.linguistic（语言的）future is warned B.nerves will deteriorate（使变糟）
C.hearing will suffer D.mathematical ability will fall
71.Which of the following conclusions is true according to the writer
A.The language ideas used in early education interrupt mathematical reasoning.
B.It is hopeless to try to teach children mathematics after the age of two.
C.Language teaching should join some mathematical formulas（公式）.
D.Preschool education should emphasize society’s beliefs and conventions.

We know that many animals do not stay in one place.Birds,fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time.They move for different reasons:most of them move to find food more easily,but others move to get away from places that are too crowded.
When cold weather comes,many birds move to warmer places to find food.Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed.The most famous migration（迁移）is probably the migration of fish,which is called “Salmon”.This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water.There it spends its life.When it is old,it returns to its birthplace in fresh water.Then it gives birth and dies there.In northern Europe,there is a kind of mouse.They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded.They move down to the low land.Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside,and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.
Recently,scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster（龙虾）.Every year,when the season of bad weather arrives,the lobsters get into a long time and start to walk across the floor of the ocean.Nobody knows why they do this,and nobody knows where they go.
So,sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another,but at other times we don’t.Maybe living things just like to travel.
72.Most animals move from one place to another at a certain time to _________.
A.give birth B.enjoy warmer water
C.find food more easily D.find beautiful places
73.The mice in northern Europe move when _________.
A.they give birth B.the weather is bad
C.the place gets too crowded D.they haven’t enough food
74.The lobsters move _________.
A.to the fresh water B.to the deeper sea
C.at a certain time D.to find more food
75.What is the main idea of the passage
A.Animals move in order to find food more easily.
B.The migration of the fish called “Salmon” is the most famous migration.
C.Living things move from one place to another because they like to travel.
D.Sometimes we know why and how living things move from one place to another,but sometimes we don’t.
56.答案:D解析：纵观全文，尤其是首段及最后一段可知。

62.答案:D解析：见第二段最后一句。
63.答案:A解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Wide?heeled shoes feel comfortable,so women wear them all day long”可知妇女选择粗高跟鞋是因为粗高跟鞋穿着舒服，A项与此意思相符。
64.答案:D解析：推理判断题。从第二段中的“The scientists found that both types of shoes applied equal amounts of pressure to the knees.”可知，两种高跟鞋给膝关节带来的压力是等量的，所以它们对膝关节的伤害是一样的。
65.答案:B解析：细节理解题。根据第三段开头“The idea that high heels are bad for your health isn’t new—scientists have warned women for years that...”可知B项与此一致。
66.答案:C解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中的“The first study looked only at stiletto heels,and Kerrigan said she wanted to study the chunky high?heeled shoes she noticed many women wearing.”可见，起初的研究对象只是细高跟鞋，Kerrigan后来对粗高跟鞋进行调查研究是因为她注意到许多妇女穿着粗高跟鞋。
67.答案:B解析：主旨大意题。本文主要论述了鞋跟粗厚的高跟鞋和鞋跟细高的高跟鞋一样，都对膝关节有损害。所以B选项“高跟鞋伤害膝关节”是最佳选项。

Do you like to eat many different foods at the same time？Most of us do，but to buy twenty dishes at a restaurant is just too expensive for most Americans. A good way is to eat a potluck meal.
The idea is to have many families in a community（社区）prepare One or two dishes only and bring them to a large room. Many soups，salads，meats，hot dishes，cold dishes，desserts，and drinks are put on the table at one time.
Each family member then takes a paper plate，a plastic knife，a fork，a spoon and a paper cup. In turn，they pick out the food they want to eat and fill their own plates with a balanced meal. Then，they sit with either their family or friends.

As China faces up to a battle against bird flu，the government has announced a lot of measures that it believes will bring the disease under contro1.
H5Nl avian influenza，known commonly as bird f1u， has killed at least 16 people across Asia and was proved in China on January 27. No human cases have been found in the mainland，but till Friday, 13 areas of the country had reported the disease in poultry（家禽）.
‘‘It remains a difficult task for China to prevent and control the disease but the government is sure to win the fight，”said Vice-Minister of Agriculture Liu Jiang.
He gave detai1s of measures designed to stop the d1sease spread1ng. Poultry within 3 km of infected（被感染的）farms is to be killed and those within 5 km vaccinated（进行预防接种）. Meanwhile，there will be continuing checking and daily reports on the disease across the country， and increased production of bird flu vaccines.
Among the 11 Asian countries and areas affected by bird flu in anima1s， only Viet Nam and Thailand have reported human cases. The people infected were reported to have caught the disease from poultry.
While the World Health Organization（WFIO）has said there is “no evidence of human-to-human spread” of bird flu，it admitted that two sisters who died of bird f1u in Viet Nam might have caught it from their brother.
The big fear is that the disease could connect with a human influenza virus to create a deadly new disease that kills millions of people throughout the world.
Peter Cordingley，spokesman of the WHO，said that Asian countries affected by bird flu should introduce a more healthy way of raising and selling chickens，and many experts think highly of it.
Many Chinese farmers live close with their animals and sell 1ive chickens On the market. This greatly increases the possibility of humans being infected with bird flu.
“They have to completely change their lifestyle，’’he said.
64.According to the passage，which of the following is true？
A. There’re no human cases in China，while there’re many in other countries.
B. To control the disease is an easy job for the Chinese government.
C. Little exercise is the main cause of bird f1u.
D. “Human-to-human spread” of bird flu now is still uncertain.
65.There is a great feat among people that .
A. the chickens will soon die out .
B. the disease might cause millions of deaths .

A. to keep a healthy way of life
B. to check dai1y reports on the disease
C. to kill all the animals on the farm
D. never to go to the market

There are good Santas（Father Christmas）and bad Santas. The good Santas all realize one thing: In the mind of a child，Santa Claus is perfect. That’s a lot of pressure. And so many people from around the world attend the Charles Howard School in Midland，Mich. The school offers a three-day，40-hour course for Santas hoping to achieve excellence. The graduates can get a diploma（文凭）in the art of Santa.
There’s a real range to what Santas earn, from big reindeer（驯鹿）for large events to no pay for charities（慈善）. One thing that makes them come here is a pure love for children，and very few jobs are respected by a shopping center full of children like Santas.
“The very first time I did Santa，I was attracted，’’ said one of the students. “ I would have done it without money. I mean，I just love it.”
A former Macy’s Santa named Chales Howard founded the Michigan School in 1937 with the belief that being St. Nick demands so much more than a belly and beard. ‘‘A lot of commercial institutes will think if you have a suit，you think you’re a Santa， it’s more than that.” said Tom， the school’s present dean. Tom is Santa’s training director．“Santa Claus can be a religious（宗教的）figure，”Tom said. “He can also be a non-religious figure. He’s a man who stands for all good things.”
The schoo1 teaches every thing from breathing techniques for Christmas songs to the subtleties（细微之处） of beard keeping. There are lessons in child psychology，body language and even media training for talk-show appearances and call-in shows. Santas a1so need to make sure they know a11 the names of the reindeer and how to deal with children. What is harder to deal with， however， is children who ask for Christmas gifts like bringing daddy home or making mommy happy again.
68.Which of the following statements is NOT true？
A. Love for children is needed to be a good Santa.
B. The on1y thing to be a Santa is to have a belly and beard.
C.A diploma will be offered to the student who has completed the course.

The policeman on the beat moved up the avenue. The time was about ten at night, but freezing wind with a taste of rain had almost emptied the streets. Trying doors as he went, swinging his club with many clever movements, he turned now and then to set his watchful eyes down the peaceful street. When about midway of a certain block, he suddenly slowed his walk. In the doorway of a closed store a man leaned, with an unlighted cigar in his mouth. As the policeman walked up to him, the man spoke up quickly.
“It’s all right, officer,” he said, confidently. “I’m just waiting for a friend. It’s an appointment made twenty years ago. Sounds a little funny to you, doesn’t it Well, I’ll explain. About that long ago there used to be a restaurant where this store stands―‘Big Joe’ Brady’s restaurant.”
“Until five years ago,” said the policeman. “It was torn down then.”
The man in the doorway struck a match and lit his cigar.
“I came a thousand miles to stand in this door tonight, and it’s worthy,” said the man, “Twenty years ago tonight, I dined here at ‘Big Joe’ Brady’s with Jimmy Wells, my best fried. He and I were brought up here in New York, just like two brothers together. I was eighteen and Jimmy was twenty. The next morning I was to start for the West to make my fortune. You couldn’t have dragged Jimmy out of New York; he thought it was the only place on earth. Well, we agreed that night that we would meet here again exactly twenty years from that date and time, no matter what our conditions might be or from what distance we might have to come. We figured that in twenty years each of us ought to have our fortunes made, whatever they were going to be.”

The Golden Egg
“I don’t want to write a story about girls! I don’t know anything about girls,” Louisa May Alcott told her publisher, Mr. Niles. But she was desperate for money. She seemed to be the only one in her family who could make any money. Niles had asked her to write about something she knew, instead of the romantic adventure stories she had been writing. “So I plod away,” Alcott wrote, “though I don’t enjoy this sort of thing.” It was 1867, and the horrible Civil War was over. Now Alcott could turn her energy to making money.
Alcott wrote a simple story of life in her family, their pillow fights on Saturday nights and the amateur(业余的) plays they performed. “Our experiences may prove interesting, though I doubt it.” (“Good joke,” she wrote years later.) Her book described her days growing up with four sisters in a family that had no money. She sketched a loving mother who took time to be interested in each child, and she told of the death of a beloved sister. She portrayed her family and friends in her book Little Women. Finally, in July of 1868, she finished writing. With a sigh and a headache, she sent off all 102 handwritten pages of her book.
Niles thought the book was dull, and so did Alcott. But when she received her copies of the book, Alcott thought it seemed better than expected. “Not a bit sensational,” she wrote, “but simple and true. We really lived most of it.” Niles asked some girls to read Little Women, and they loved it. If the girls liked it, Alcott was satisfied.
In three months, all the copies of Little Women had sold. It was already time to print more books! Niles thought he could sell three or four hundred more copies. “An honest publisher and a lucky author made a dull book into a golden egg for an ugly duckling,” Alcott wrote in 1885. Later, with a great sigh of relief, she was able to write, “Paid of all the debts! Now I feel that I could die in peace. If my head holds out, I’ll do all I once hoped to do.”
63．Which of the following would be used to describe Alcott’s book
A．Funny B．Boring. C．Magic. D．Skillful
64．In which order did the following happen
a. Alcott began writing Little Women.
b. Niles asked Alcott to write about girls.
c. Alcott wrote romantic adventure stories.
d. Alcott performed plays with her sisters.
e. Niles was not pleased with Alcott’s work.
A．a, b, e, d, c B．d, c, a, b, e C．c, b, e, d, a D．d, c, e, b, a
65．When she handed her first writing in, she was ____________.
A．sure of her success B．happy about her work
C．unsatisfied with the work D．unpleased with the publisher
66．Alcott took up writing as a job due largely to ___________.
A．love B．poverty C．interest D．encouragement
67．We learn from the story that, after Little Women sold out, _____________.

As you dash outdoors in the middle of winter, you might make it halfway down the block before realizing that your ears are freezing because you forgot your hat.
Now, scientists have shown that even though you’ve had an apparent memory lapse(丧失), your brain never forgot what you should have done.
Memory works mainly by association(联想). For example, as you try to remember where you left your keys, you might recall you last had them in the living room, which reminds you that there was an ad for soap on television, which reminds you that you need soap, and so on. And then, as you’re heading out of the door to buy soap, you remember that your keys are on the kitchen counter. Your brain knew where the keys were all along. It just took a round-about way to get there.
Now, scientists at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies are studying associative memory in monkeys to figure out just how this complicated process works.
First, the researchers trained a group of monkeys to remember arbitrary(任意的) pairs of symbols. The researchers showed the monkeys one symbol(cold weather) and then gave them the choice of two other symbols, one of which (a hat) would be associated with the first. A correct choice would earn them a sip of their favorite juice.
Most of the monkeys performed the test perfectly, but one kept making mistakes.
“We wondered what happened in the brain when the monkey made the wrong choice, although it apparently learned the right pairing of symbols,” said study leader Thomas Albright.
Albright and his team observed signals from the nerve cells in the monkey’s inferior temporal cortex (ITC), an area of its brain used for visual(视觉) pattern recognition and for storing this type of memory.
As the monkey was deciding which symbol to choose, about a quarter of the activity in the ITC was due to the choice behavior.
Meanwhile, more than half the activity was in a different group of nerve cells, which scientists believe represent the monkey’s memory of the correct symbol pairing, and surprisingly, these cells continued to fire even when the monkey chose the wrong symbol.
“In this sense, the cells ‘knew’ more than the monkeys let on in their behavior,” Albright said. “Thus, behavior may vary, but knowledge endures.”
68．The example of the keys and soap is given to explain the relationship between _______.
A．memory lapse and human brain B．memory and association
C．memory and television ads D．memory and our daily life
69．Which of the following best expresses the general idea of the text
A．Your brain may forget something, but not always.
B．Activity is a round-about way to memory.
C．Your brain remembers what you forgot.
D．Monkeys have better memory than us.
70．The researchers believe the monkey that made the wrong choice __________.
A．also knew the correct answer B．had the worst memory
C．failed to see the objects well D．had some trouble with its nerve system
71．The underlined word “endures” may be best replaced by ____________.
A．disappears B．increases C．improves D．remains
E
Because of the stress and strains of modern life, folks today would rather watch television than get together with neighbours. Their behaviour doesn’t mirror TV soaps like Coronation Street and East Enders.
The Street’s Ashley Peacock and Toyah Battersby know all their neighbours. But the Royal Mail survey shows that real-life under-35s wouldn’t dream of popping next door for a chat or borrowing a cup of sugar.
Three out of ten say they wouldn’t know their neighbours if they saw them in the street. The same proportion would only offer to help neighbours if absolutely necessary, while 31 per cent don’t want to get to know them better. Twenty-six per cent rarely or never speak to the person next door. Thirty-five per cent only talk to neighbours occasionally, and six per cent actively dislike them. The older generation are still sociable, with 70 per cent of over-55s taking time to chat to people next door. The report says: “In the past, the British tradition of village green gossip(闲聊) between neighbours was celebrated worldwide. But there’s been a clear shift away from local links by the young generation.” Londoners are least likely to be neighbours, with a third rarely or never chatting over the garden fence. People in the Midlands-where 65 per cent often speak to their neighbours-are most friendly.
Sociologist Jane Blakeman said, “People are working longer hours than ever before, and are traveling further to work. It leaves them far less time at home.”
72．Almost a third of young people _____________.
A．know their neighbours quite well
B．have no idea who lives next door to them
C．talk to their nighbours when they want to borrow something
D．spend time chatting with neighbours like their parents
73．It can be inferred that Ashley Peacock and Toyah Battersby are both ____________.
A．important roles in a popular TV series B．famous stars in TV programmes
C．old soap operas D．members of royal family
74．Gossip among neighbours is still common among _____________.
A．people under 35 B．people between 35 and 55
C．people over 55 D．people of different ages
75．A difference between London and the rest of Britain lies mainly in that non-Londoners _____.
A．would help their neighbours only when necessary
B．are less likely to have good relations with their nighbours
C．wouldn’t travel far and find more time to chat with neighbours
D．are more likely to keep up the old British tradition of having a chat over garden fence

Most British telephone cards are just plain green, but card collecting is becoming a popular hobby in Britain and collectors even have their own magazine, International Telephone Cards. One reason for their interest is that cards from around the world come in a wide variety of different and often very attractive designs. There are 100,000 different cards in Japan alone, and there you can put your own design onto a blank card simply by using a photograph or a business card.
The first telephone cards, produced in 1976, were Italian. Five years later the first British card appeared, and now you can buy cards in more than a hundred countries. People usually start collecting cards because they are attractive, small and light, and they do not need much space. It is also a cheap hobby for beginners, although for some people it becomes a serious business. In Paris, for example, there is a market where you can buy only telephone cards, and some French cards cost up to 4,000 pounds. The first Japanese card has a value of about 28,000 pounds. Most people only see cards with prices like these in their collectors’ magazine.

The president of Harvard University, in the United States, recently made comments that have caused an uproar (喧嚣) among women. Women are outnumbered (数目超过) by men in many scientific fields, and he said that this may be due to some inherent (内在的) differences in intellectual abilities. Basically, he was saying that women may not be as good as men in science. This was difficult for many people to accept, especially women who are themselves scientists and professors. Many professors at Harvard were upset by his comments and did not want to support him.
People have been fighting for years for equality between men and women. Therefore, it is discouraging to hear the president of a prestigious university say something that is negative. Biologically, male and female brains are different, but that does not mean that one is better than the other. The important thing to remember is that you can do anything that you put your mind to.
When I was a little girl, I was always told that I could be whatever I wanted to be. No one ever told me not to do something just because I was a girl. This has helped me to be very focused and determined in my life. There are endless possibilities for my future.
Determination and hard-work are what make a good student. It doesn't matter whether that student is a boy or a girl.
You may come across road-blocks when you are pursuing (追求) your academic career. It is not always easy to follow your dreams. As a girl, you may sometimes feel that you only see men who have good careers or important jobs. But I encourage you not to give up. The key is to find out what your strengths are and focus on them. Everyone has unique talents that can be very helpful in the future. If you believe in yourself you will be amazed at what you can do!
60. According to the president of Harvard University, women may not be as good as men in science because of .
A. the different structures of their brains
B. their different intellectual abilities
C. their different living conditions
D. the different education that they receive
61. The author thinks the comments the president of Harvard University made are .
A. discouraging B. encouraging C. positive D. unimportant

In recent years, especially during the 1960s, there was much discussion about “the brain drain (排干，流失)，” which dealt with the problem of students and learned people who left their own countries for other countries that offered better chances for study, research, and employment. For example, according to a report from U. N. , between 1962 and 1966 more than 50 percent of all engineering graduates of Iran and 14 percent of Iranian scientists left their country for work abroad. Over 30 percent of Chilean engineers and 15 percent of Turkish physicians also went to work in other countries. Probably the greatest brain drain occurred among young scientists who had gone abroad to study. Many of them had planned to return to their countries to teach but chose to remain in more industrialized nations where they were able to continue their work and their research in fields in which there were no job possibilities at home. The countries that attracted most of these scientists were the United States, Great Britain, Germany, France, Canada, and Australia.
Recent studies show that the brain drain to the United States may be decreasing. Many foreign scientists are going home again, and in some cases American scientists are leaving the United States for employment in other countries. The main reasons are that good jobs are becoming fewer here, money for national research has been sharply cut, and university fellowships reduced too. However, in the field of medicine the drain to the United States still goes on. Today more than one of every five American doctors is foreign—born, and several thousand foreign doctors immigrate to the United States each year. Over eighty countries have asked the State Department to send students who are skilled in important fields such as medicine back home when their study programs are over.
67.Which of the following is not the reason for “the brain drain”
A. Better chances of study. B. Better research condition
C. Good job possibility D. Good housing
68.The brain drain to the United States may be decreasing mainly because________.
A. many foreign scientists are ordered to return to their motherlands
B. there are fewer and fewer good jobs in the USA
C. they don’t need any foreign scientists now
D. the universities refuse to provide money for the foreign scientist
69.How many American doctors are foreign—born
A. More than 20 percent B. About half of them
C. Several thousand D. About 15 percent
70. Which is the best title for this passage
A. How to seek a job in the USA B. Doctors’ immigration to the USA
C. The brain drain D. A strange case.

It was 3:12 a. m. when nine-year-old Glenn Kreamer awoke to the smell of burning. Except for the crackling（爆裂声）of flames somewhere below there was not a sound in the two-storey house at Baldwin, Long Island. With his father away on night duty at a local factory, Glenn was worried about the safety of his mother, his sister Karen, 14 and his 12-year-old brother Todd. He ran downstairs through the smoke filled house to push and pull at Karen and Todd until they sat up. Then he helped each one through the house to the safety of the garden. There, his sister and brother, taking short and quick breaths and coughing, collapsed on the lawn.
The nine-year-old raced back into the house and upstairs to his mother’s room. He found it impossible to waked her up. Mrs. Kreamer, a victim of the smoke, was unconscious, and there was nobody to help Glenn carry her to the garden. But the boy remained calm and , as a fireman said later, “acted with all the self-control of a trained adult.”
On the bedroom telephone, luckily still working, Glenn called his father and, leaving Mr. Kreamer to telephone the fire brigade and ambulance service, got on with the task of saving his mother.
First he filled a bucket with water from the bathroom and threw water over his mother and her bed. Then, with a wet cloth around his head he went back to the garden.
He could hear the fire engine coming up, but how would the firemen find his mother in the smoke-filled house where flames had almost swallowed up the ground floor
Grasping firmly a ball of string（线绳） from the garage, Glenn raced back into the house and dashed upstairs to his mother’s room. Tying one end of the string to her hand， he ran back, laying out the string as he went, through the hall and back out into the garden.
Minutes later he was telling fire chief John Coughlan: “The string will lead you to mother.” Mrs. Kreamer was carried to safety as the flames were breaking through her bedroom floor.
71．Why did Glenn run downstairs first
A．He wanted to find out what was happening.
B．He was worried about his mother’s safety.
C．He wanted to save his sister and brother.
D．He went to see if his father had come back from work.
72．How did Glenn help the firemen to save his mother
A．By throwing water all over her and her bed.
B．By carrying her to safety with his brother.
C．By pushing and pulling at her.
D．By tying a string to her hand.
73．Who called the fire brigade and ambulance service

74．What did Glenn do to protect himself

We can only show mercy to the 39 man who had to stop his car soon after 40 from a country village to drive to London. Hearing a strange noise from the 41 of the car, he naturally got out to 42 the wheels carefully, but he found nothing wrong, so he 43 his way. Again the noise began 44 and became even louder. Quickly 45 his head, the man saw what appeared to be a great 46 cloud following the car. When he stopped at a village further on, he was told that a queen been must be hidden in his car as there were thousands of bees 47.
On learning this, the man drove away as quickly as possible. After an hour’s 48 driving, he arrived safely in London, where he parked his car outside a 49 and went in. It was not long 50 a customer who had seen him arrive 51 in to inform him that his car was 52 with bees. The poor driver was 53 that the best way should be to call a 54. In a short time the man arrived. He found the unwelcome passenger hidden near the wheels at the back of the car.

37. A. do B. take C. make D. try
“make every possible efforts”为固定短语。
38. A. give B. keep C. pay D. draw
由后文蜂后引来大批蜜蜂可知，后者自己常引起别人的注意。
39. A. unfortunate B. careless C. unpleasant D. hopeless
由后文驾车者出现的麻烦事可知，此处形容词应填“unfortunate”。“unpleasant”意为不高兴的，“hopeless"意为无希望的，均不符合上文意思。
40. A. passing by B. leaving out C. setting out D. getting up
leaving out”为忽略、遗漏，考生如望文生意，则可能选择B项。

四个选项均为方位，前、后、左、右。由46题“following the car"可知，“a strange noise”是由后面传来。
42. A. clean B. change C. test D. examine
驾车热闹走出驾驶室来检查车轮。易错点: C项“test”强调测试。

45. A. hiding B. turning C. shaking D. raising

46. A. black B. beautiful C. white D. colorful
由本段最后“thousands of bees…可知，发出声音的是蜂群。根据生活常识，成千上万的蜜蜂在后面，是黑压压的一片像云团一样。易错项：D项，有考生脑中的蜜蜂形象是五颜六色的，可能选择“colorful”。
47. A. below B. ahead C. nearby D. behind
前文提及蜂后藏在车中，是因为有成千上万的蜜蜂在附近。易错项：D 项，考生如果未注意到“when he stopped…”这句，还会以为蜜蜂在车后盘旋。车停下后，蜜蜂应前后左右围着车子飞。
48. A. boring B. careful C. exciting D. hard
前文提及驾车人尽可能快的开车，是惧怕紧随其后的蜂群，所以这一小时的驾驶是非常艰辛的。易错项：A项，“boring”不能体现驾车者为逃避或甩开蜂群的担惊受怕的心情。
49. A. hotel B. museum C. hospital D. school
由50空后“a customer”可知，驾车者进人的不是博物馆、医院或学校。
50. A. when B. after C. until D. before
“it was not long before…”此处表明蜂群随后飞来，速度极快。
51. A. broke B. moved C. hurried D. dropped
由常识判断，他的车上有无数的蜜蜂在飞、停歇。故告知他这情况的人应急忙告诉他。选项A、D意思不符合上下文，B项虽意思正确，但不能表现当时情况的紧急性。
52. A. crowded B. covered C. filled D. equipped
驾车人下车进入宾馆，应是车窗关闭，故蜂群只可能密密麻麻的爬在车的表面上。选项A、C均表示某物体的内部“挤满”或“充满”。与常识不符。
53. A. advised B. required C. ordered D. requested
此时此情，其他人“建议”车主请人帮助。B项为“要求”，C项为命令”，D项为“请求”，均不符合题意。
54. A. bee-keeper B. policeman C. waiter D. repairman
由下文55选项后一句可知。

While many young celebrities, especially pretty women, are unwilling to talk about their humble origins, Lu Yan is never too shy to talk about her hometown a small village in northern Jiangxi Province. Surrounded by high mountains, silver stone mining is the major source of wealth in the town where she was born in 1981. When she goes home to visit, she has to take a train from the provincial capital Nanchang for more than an hour, then change to a bus for another hour and a half.
Lu is the eldest of three siblings . "We broke the family planning policy, because village people always want a son," she said smiling. Lu wears clothes from big-name designers now, but when she was a child she often went several years without new clothes. "I grew tall so fast my mother thought buying new clothes was wasteful," she said. She had no choice but to wear hand-me-downs from relatives.
Lu still remembers clearly her first "made to order" clothing. She picked cotton for a whole summer vacation and earned 90 yuan (US$11). She spent 6 yuan (US$0.70) to take a bus to the county where she asked a tailor to make a coat according to a design in a magazine. "At that time, I thought it was a very modern design," she said. It meant more to her than all the haute couture she owned later.
When she graduated from middle school, the 16-year-old Lu was 1.78 metres high. She left for Nanchang to study accounting. "My parents thought the major would help me find a job," she said. She was self-conscious of her height and began walking hunched over. "I always bowed. As I grew up, I started to know that my posture was not good, so I attended a figure-building class," she said. Little did she know that it would lead her to a bright future.
56. The underlined word “humble” in Paragraph One means_______.
A. rich B. poor C. bright D. modern
57. What does Lu Yan mean by referring to her first "made to order" clothing
A. Lu Yan made her coat to her own measure by herself.

C. She earned the money through her own hard work.
D. It meant a lot to her and her future.
58.Which of the following about Lu Yan isn’t mentioned in the passage
A. Age. B. Height. C. Hometown. D. Salary.
59. Which of the following can’t be used to describe this pretty girl
A. Honest. B. Generous. C. Successful. D. Humorous.

NEW YORK : Actress-singer Jennifer Lopez is using her starpower to rally support for a fellow Latina who is suffering from blood cancer. Lopez, 36, is urging Hispanics in New York City to donate blood marrow to help Janet Ovalles, a 29-year-old of Dominican descent (血统)who needs a transplant from a matching donor to survive.
"I am a young Hispanic woman, so is Janet. I could empathize with her situation so much," Lopez said in a statement released Friday by DKMS, the bone marrow donor center that is organizing donor drives for Ovalles.
"These things just make you realize that we're all interconnected and depend on one another," said Lopez, who is of Puerto Rican descent.
Doctors say that a bone marrow transplant is Ovalles' only chance for recovery — and the most suitable matches are from people of the same ethnic background.
But with Hispanics sharply underrepresented in the pool of registered donors, the prognosis is bleak. For Ovalles, there was no match in her family or among the 10 million registered donors worldwide.
"I am a walking time bomb," Ovalles said in a recent interview. "If I don't find a donor, I will die."
With Lopez calling attention to her cause, Ovalles hopes to find a matching donor at bone marrow drives.
"It's been very hard to recruit Hispanic bone marrow donors, but with Jennifer's help we really feel we can get the Hispanic community on board," said Katharina Harf, head of DKMS.

Who is the most charming man in the world David Beckham, Brad Pit or Tom Cruise Neither of them, at least in the eyes of a salesman surnamed Lin who claims to be the most attractive guy on the globe.
"Many people say that I am far more charming than the movie stars, say, Takeshi Kaneshiro and Tse Ting Fung and I know this. I look young and mature." "I believe no one can top me in appearance, " Lin said, " I am ten times more handsome than any one else." "Handsome guys seldom brag about their outlooks, while the braggers are anything but handsome, " Lin responded to those who may doubt that he is exaggerating about his appearance.
Lin, 165cm (5.4 feet) tall, called the news hotline of the Southern China Metropolis Daily earlier this month, asking the paper to help promote him into a celebrity. He offered to treat a dinner to anyone who can make him famous. "I'll be very grateful to my future patrons. They are ten times more important than my parents. I will pay back by inviting them to a meal," Lin said.
Eager to become a star, Lin claimed that his face is more than enough to make him famous, though he was not gifted in arts and performing. When asked about the best-looking part on him, Lin alleged that each part is perfect and no defects can be found. "It's standard" was his reply to questions about his 165-cm stature.
Lin used to be a waiter and now working as a salesman at a market selling steel products. The 24-year-old man has never formally dated a girl though quite a number of women have shown interests in him, according to Lin. Whenever he is idle, he just looks into the mirror to enjoy his handsome appearance or posing for pictures, according to Lin.
"His illusion originates from narcissism," a psychologist in Hainan University said, adding that narcissism can often make people feel too good about themselves.

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
“BANG!” the door caused a reverberation (回声)．It was just standing there, with father standing on one side , and I on the other side．
We were both in great anger” Never set foot in this house again!” stormed father．With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street．
The street lights were shining, causing rather sad-feeling．I wandered aimlessly．
A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me．I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree．
But now．．．I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old．We differ in our ways of thinking．He always put his opinions and codes of behavior on me．Whenever I do something wrong, he never admits it．We are just like two people coming from two different worlds．It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened．
I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind．My heart was frozen on this hot summer night．As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company．When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived ,I saw that the light was still on．
I thought to myself: “Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me ”
In fact, it was nothing．Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps．Perhaps he thought they were useless．I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps．I can’t stand his outrageous(蛮横的)words: “I can’t throw you away, let alone these old papers ”
All the lights were off except father’s．
Dad was always like this．Maybe he didn’t know how to express himself．After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret．After an argument he has the habit of creeping up in my sleep and then tucking me underneath the covers．
This was how he always was．He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature．
The light was still on．“Am I wrong ” I whispered ,maybe．．．With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been．At last, I decided to open the door．As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks．I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all．Love—it second to none．
56．Decide which is the best order of the following according to what happened in the passage．
a．I opened the door and entered the house．
b．Sadly I ran out into the street．
c．I reached the place where I lived and saw my house still brightly lit．
d．I thought of my father’s kindness towards me．
e．I walked about in the street without any aim．
A ．b,e,d,c,a B．b,e,c,d,a C．b,e,a,c,d D．b,e,c,a,d
57．What made the writer think of his childhood
A．The sight of the street lights．
B．The sight of the empty street．
C．The sight of a father with a child in his arms．
D．The sight of light in his own house．
58．Why do you think the father often shouts at his son
A．perhaps the father is getting older and older．
B．perhaps the son has already grown up．
C．perhaps they never agree with each other．
D．perhaps the father has got used to doing that．
59．What conclusion can you come to after reading the passage
A．The father treats his son in an unfair way．
B．The father is actually kind to his son．
C ．The father is neither kind nor cruel to his son．

Making an advertisement for television often costs more than a movie．For example, a two-hour movie costs $ 6 million to make．A TV commercial can cost more than $ 6 000 a second．And that does not include cost of paying for air time(电视节目开始的时间)．Which is more valuable, the program or the ad In terms of money--and making money is what television is all about the commercial is by far the more important．
Research, market testing, talent, time and money-----all come together to make us want to buy a product．No matter how bad we think a commercial is, it works．The sales of Charm went up once the ads began．TV commercials actually buy their way into our head．We, in turn, buy the product．
And the ads work because so much time an attention are given them．Here are some rules of commercial ad making．If you want to get the low middle-class buyer, make sure the announcer has a tough, manly voice．Put some people in the ad who work with their hands．If you want to sell to upper-class audience, make sure that the house, the furniture, and the hair style are the types that the group identifies (识别) with．If you want the buyer feel superior to the character selling the product, then make that person so stupid or silly that everyone will feel great about himself or herself
We laugh at commercials．We don't think we pay that much attention them．But facts show we are kidding ourselves．The making of a commercial that costs so much money is not kid stuff．It's big, big business．And it's telling us what to think, what we need, and what to buy．To put it simply, the TV commercial is a form of brainwashing．

So much to do, so little time．So much information, so little time to read ．In this age there is more information than ever before．There is not enough time to read everything we want to read．However, you can take in and understand more information in shorter time through speed-reading．This article will not make you read 3 000 words per minute, but it will show you how to increase your speed greatly．You will also learn the basic techniques of speed reading, along with the dos and don'ts of speed-reading．
When you first learned to read, you would say the word out loud and sound it out．Then you might whisper the word because people can become annoyed when you read aloud．The stage you are now at is saying the word in your head．Most people tend to read this way．Saying the word in your head will cut your reading speed tremendously (极大的)．
How do you calculate your reading speed The speed is measured by how many words per minute you can read．Get some reading material, preferably a book．Find out how many words are on the page．Time yourself one minute．Start your timer and start reading．When the timer sounds, stop at once．If you counted 500 words on the page and you read half of the page, then you are probably reading at 250 words per minute．
The first thing about speed-reading is looking at the word and recognizing it．Don't say the word in your mind, just look at it and recognize its appearance．Later you will recognize groups of four words or more to increase your speed．This is the first and most important step in speed-reading．
The next step is technique．As with any other skill, speed-reading requires technique．You should first be sitting up straight with your book on a horizontal (水平的) surface, such as a table or desk．Next, should be able to see the entire page．This is necessary if you want to recognize clumps of words．Lastly, you should be focused．It's hard to read a lot of noise．Find a quiet place to read．This will help your understand of the text．You need something to guide your eyes while reading．Then right, you should use your hand, Remember when you were little, you would read using your finger．That is a great technique, only now you're using your hand to underline each line．Move your finger smoothly across page．No need to go rush , start our slow．Keep your eyes focused on words as you recognize them while using your hand as a guide．This will increase you speed．
The third step is practice．Practice makes perfect．Set time intervals(间歇)．Read using different techniques, but make sure you understand what you're reading．
64．Which of the following statements is true according to the text
A．Now there is limited information than ever before．
B．Now conditions ask people to use less time to know more information．
C．Now people can read what they like．
D．The less you read, the more time you will spend．
65．What is the subject discussed in the text
A．What speed-reading is．
B．Why we need speed-reading．
C．Now it is much information time．
D．People should practice speed-reading in different kinds of ways．
66．Which of the following shows the right way for the speed-reading from the text
a．Ask for some techniques．
b．Look at many words and recognize them．
c．Practice more．
A．c,a,b B．c,b,a C．b,a,c D．a,c,b
67．The underlined sentence“you should be focused”in the fifth paragraph means that _________．

You may open your electronic mail and find information about how to buy medicine, cheap airline tickets, books and, of course, computers and computer products．There may also be offers for investment deals, bank loans and special holidays．However, to many computer users, this use of electronic spare to sell products has become a major problem as it makes computer communication more difficult．
Many companies who want to send a great deal of advertising might use the services of a “spammer．” A spammer is a person or company that uses computers to send out millions of copies of the same sales information．Spammers find e-mail addresses from websites, news groups and “chat rooms” where people send messages to each other．Most spare is sent by companies who are trying to get you to buy their products．Some of these are honest companies that offer good products or services for a fair price．These companies can offer their products at a cheaper price than you might find in a store．However, much of the spam on the Internet is sent by criminals who are trying to sell products that do not exist or offer services they will not provide．They are only interested in stealing your money．When you answer their spam you find you are expected to send them money and receive a gift．One country in Africa has become famous for the number of criminals who try every known trick to separate people from their money．

In recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive. Some experts claim the answer is to make jobs more varied. But do more various jobs lead to greater productivity There are facts to suggest that while variety certainly makes the worker's life more enjoyable, it does not actually make him work harder. As far as increasing productivity is concerned, then variety is not an important factor.
Other experts feel that giving the worker freedom to do his job in his own way is important, and there is no doubt that this is true. The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modern factory with its complicated machinery that must be used in a fixed way. Thus while freedom of choice may be important, there is usually very little that can be done to create it.
Another very important consideration is how each worker contributes to the product he is making. In most factories the worker sees only one part of the product. Some car factories are now experimenting with having many small production lines rather than one large one, so that each worker contributes more to the production of the cars on his line. It would seem that not only is degree of the worker’s contribution an important factor, therefore, but it is also one we can do something about.
To what degree does more money lead to greater productivity The workers themselves certainly think this is important. Maybe they want more money only because the work they do is boring. Money just lets them enjoy their spare time more. A similar argument may explain demands for shorter working hours. Perhaps if we succeed in making their jobs more interesting, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working hours be so important to them.
72．Which of the following is the best way to make workers work harder according to the author
A．Increasing their pay.
B．Giving them more spare time.
C．Making the work itself meaningful.
D．Replacing large production lines with small ones.
73．The reason why a worker cannot have freedom in doing the job in his own way is that ___ .
A．the machine is so badly needed that more of it should be bought
B．there are e production lines in factories
C．the bosses can create very little freedom of choices
D．the machines must be operated strictly according to instructions and rules
74. Besides money, what may make workers work more actively
A. extra free hours B. More comfort of life
C. interesting jobs D. better working conditions
75．The best title for this passage may be _______.
A．Problems of Modern Workers B．Making Jobs More Interesting

Mothers of victims （受害者） of such accidents have formed an organization called MADD （Mothers Against Drunk Driving）. These women want to prevent further tragedies （悲剧）. They have worked to encourage the government to limit the youngest drinking age, Students have formed a similar organization, SADD （Students Against Drunk Driving） and are spreading the same message among their friends.
For many Americans the automobile is a necessity. But for some, it is also a mark of social position and for young people, a sign of becoming an adult. Altogether, cars mean very much to Americans.

Sometimes, something that is considered to be negative turns out to be an advantage on the job. Though he is only l8 years old and blind, Suleyman Gokyigit is among the top computer technicians and programmers at InteliData Technologies Corp., a large software company with several offices across the United States.
"After our company united with another one last October, two different computer networks were driving us crazy," recalls Douglas Braun, the InteliData president. "We couldn't even send e-mail to each other.” In three weeks Mr Gokyigit created the software needed to connect the two networks. "None of the company's 350 other employees could have done the job in three months," says Mr. Braun. " Suleyman can 'see' into the heart of the computer.”
Mr. Gokyigfi's gift, as Mr. Braun calls it, is an unusual ability to form an idea of the inside of a machine. "The computer permits me to reach out into the world and do almost anything I want to do," says Mr. Gokyigit
The young programmer is at home with hardware as well, thanks partly to a highly developed sense of touch. Mitzi Nowakowski, an office manager at InteliData, remembers how he easily disconnected and reconnected their computer systems during a move last year. "Through feel, Suleyman can find the position of connectors, pins and wires much faster than most other people with sight," he says.
Much of the student programmer's speed comes from his ability not to be interrupted while at the computer. When typing, he listens carefully to the synthesizer （合成器）. His long, thin fingers fly over the keyboard. "Nothing seems to shake his attention," says Mrs. Nowakowski, his boss.
Mr. Gokyigit is the only company employee who is available （可找到的） 24 hours a day. "We consider him our top problem solver." says Mr. Braun.
63. According to Mr. Braun, Suleyman ________________
A. can work wonders on computer

Do you want to live another 100 years or more Some experts say that scientific advances will one day enable humans to last tens of years beyond what is now seen as the natural limit of the human life span.
“I think we are knocking at the door of immortality （永生）,”said Michael Zey, a Montclair State University business professor and author of two books on the future. "I think by 2075 we will see it and that's a conservative estimate （保守的估计）."
At the conference in San Francisco, Donald Louria, a professor at New Jersey Medical School in Newark said advances in using genes as well as nanotechnology （纳米技术） make it likely that humans will live in the future beyond what has been possible in the past. "There is a great push so that people can live from I20 to 180 years," he said. "Some have suggested that there is no limit and that people could live to 200 or 300 or 500 years."
However, many scientists who specialize in ageing are doubtful about it and say the human body is just not designed to last past about 120 years. Even with healthier lifestyles and less disease, they say failure of the brain and organs will finally lead all humans to death.
Scientists also differ on what kind of life the super aged might live. "It remains to be seen if you pass 120, you know; could you be healthy enough to have good quality of life " said Leonard Poon, director of the University of Georgia Gerontology Center. "At present people who could get to that point are not in good health at all."
67. By saying "we are knocking at the door of immortality", Michael Zey means _______
A. they believe that there is no limit of living
B. they are sure to find the truth about long living
C. they have got some ideas about living forever
D. they are able to make people live past the present life span
68. Donald Louria’s attitude towards long living is that _______.
A. people can live from 120 to 180
B. it is still doubtful how long humans can live
C. the human body is designed to last past about 120 years
D. it is possible for humans to live longer in the future
69. The underlined "it" （ paragraph 4 ） refers to ________.
A. a great push
B. the idea of living beyond the present life span
C. the idea of living from 200 to 300 years
D. the conservative estimate
70. What would be the best title for this text
A. Living Longer or Not B. Science, Technology and Long Living
C. No Limit for Human Life D. Healthy Lifestyle and Long Living

One of Britain's bravest women told yesterday how she helped to catch suspected （可疑的） police killer David Bieber -- and was thanked with flowers by the police. It was also said that she could be in line for a share of up to ￡30,000 reward money.
Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in ending the nationwide manhunt. Vicki, who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible experience when she had to steal into Bieber's bedroom and to watch him secretly. Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police prepared to storm the building.
She said: "I was very nervous. But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen lined up in the car park I was so glad they were there.”
The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious （怀疑） of the guest who checked in at 3 pm the day before New Year's Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his face. She said: "He didn't seem to want to talk too much and make any eye contact （接触）." Vicki, the only employee on duty, called her bosses Margaret, 64, and husband Stan McKale, 65, who phoned the police at 11 pm.
Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston, Gateshead, at about 11:30 pm to make sure that this was the wanted man. Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every 15 minutes.
"It was about ten past two in the morning when the phone went again and a policeman said ‘Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside '. My heart missed a beat."
Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor room and handed over the key.
"I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that part of the hotel, so I went to watch. I could not see into the man's room, but I could see the passage. The police kept shouting at the man to come out with his hands showing. Then suddenly he must have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed （带上手铐）。
71. The underlined phrase "be in line for" （ paragraph 1 ） means __
A. get B. be paid C. ask for D. own
72. Vicki became suspicious of David Bieber because __________.
A. the police called her
B. he looked very strange
C. he came to the hotel with little luggage
D. he came to the hotel the day before New Year's Eve
73. Vicki’s heart missed a beat because _________.
A. the phone went again B. she would be famous
C. the policemen had already arrived D. she saw 20 policemen in the car park
74. David Bieber was most probably handcuffed in ________.
A. the passage B. the man's room C. Vicki's bedroom D. the top floor room
75. The whole event probably lasted about _______ hours from the moment Bieber came to the hotel to the arrival of some armed officers.
A. 6 B. 8 C. 11 D. 14

Dear Li Hua ,
How are you with this letter I’d like to introduce my hometown—Jiangsu Province to you .Situated in the east of China , Jiangsu is one of the most developed provinces . It is a province with a large Population but not much farmland , and it lacks natural resources .

Fortunately people are realizing the importance of protecting farmland and the government has taken measures to stop the illegal use of farmland .
In my opinion , it’s our duty to protect our farmland as well as our obligation to benefit the younger generations .
Looking forward to your reply .
Best wishes .

It is important to deal with the rubbish in cities. Rubbish must be treated properly. Otherwise it may cause a lot of problems. It may pollute the air and water. When people breathe the polluted air or drink the polluted water, they may get ill.
Our city has begun to pay attention to the problem. As far as I know, some rubbish is sorted and sent to different factories. Rubbish, such as old newspapers and glass, is recycled . Some harmful rubbish is sent to a certain place and buried. Waste air is cleaned before it goes into the air. Waste water is treated before it is poured into rivers.
To protect the environment , the government has passed laws to prevent people from throwing rubbish everywhere. We should do our best to take good care of the environment and fight against pollution.

Is Diploma Really Important
I do not think that the girl should be dismissed．Maybe she hadn’t got good education because her family was poor. I feel sorry for the girl. The company should give her a chance. After all, she did a good job in her work.
Nowadays people often hold the view that diploma is the most important thing in finding a job．If you have a high degree diploma, you may easily get a job even though you might really have little knowledge. Such is the reality, diploma is everything.
I have several teachers in my senior school. My history teacher never graduated from a college. But he is a learned teacher. We all enjoy his classes far more than other teachers. At the same time, none of us is wondering what kind of diploma he got.
The government should help change this situation. As long as they can manage it, let them realize their dreams.
反方
Honesty comes first
I think it is right for the company to dismiss the girl. The girl cheated the company and that was what she should deserve.
Diploma does not mean you are qualified enough, but to some extent, it proves that you have passed the exams and have the ability of learning knowledge from books.
First of all, honesty is precious. Any characters of a person can't take the place of it. Our society is in need of honesty! I always have a strong belief that honesty is a must for everyone. There is no doubt that nobody wants to work with a cheat. Perhaps it is very likely that she will later do something worse to get what she wants.
In addition, her employment is unfair for those who do have an official diploma．Just like playing chess, those who participate in the competition should obey game rules. We can’t imagine what it would be like without rules.

某地计划修订《中小学生守则》，欲将“生活谦虚、简朴”去掉。
假如你是某学校学生会主席，组织部分学生就这一问题进行讨论。然后将学生们讨论的结果用英语写一份不少于100字的总结材料。材料内容如下：
有些学生认为应该修改，过分强调谦虚、简朴(modesty and simplicity)，你将不会引起别人的注意，你可能会犹豫不决，会失去很多机会。在现代社会，表现自己很重要，自信(confidence)和良好的外表有助于你给别人留下好的印象。因此，大家应该自信，利用一切机会来表现自己的才能。
还有些学生不同意，学生应该生活简朴，他们的衣食都依靠父母，应该将时间花在学习上，学习比衣着更重要。中国有句古训：骄必败。这就说明我们想要成功必须首先学会谦虚，谦虚会学到更多的东西。
短文的开头已经写出。
Some students think that …
Some students think that it's good to change. Putting too much emphasis upon modesty and simplicity will mean you are never be noticed by others. You might hesitate and lose many chances. In modern society, it is important to show yourself to others. Confidence and a good appearance help you make a good impression. So, everyone should be confident and take the chance to show off their abilities.
Some other students don't agree with it. Students should learn to live a simple life because they depend on their parents for food and clothing. They should also spend more time on their studies. As a student, studying is more important than the clothes he wears. As for modesty, an ancient Chinese saying reads: "pride goes before a fall ". It tells us that if we are to be successful, we must learn to be modest first. Being modest will help them to learn more.

Dear friends,
May I have your attention, please Now I’d like to make a speech here.
With the improvement of living standard, there are a lot of waste on campus. For example the students
Therefore, I’m sure, with everyone doing his bit, we will change the present situation the better.
That’s all. Thank you!
Dear friends,
May I have your attention, please Now I’d like to make a speech here.
With the improvement of living standard, there are a lot of waste on campus. For example the students leave the lights on in the daytime, water running after washing and remains of a lot of food on the table. Some of the students even ask their parents for pocket money. So it is high time that we had to deal with the problem. The reasons are as follows:
In the first place, the bad habit of being wasteful will have a bad influence on their own character. Secondly, it add financial burden to their parents. Last but not least, it also exhausted the world’s limited natural resources, water and electricity.
But how to reduce the waste In my opinion, it is everybody’s business to fight against waste. On one hand, I should start with myself to save everything. On the other hand, I’d like to remind my friends here to take the lead in reducing the waste. Therefore, I’m sure, with everyone doing his bit, we will change the present situation the better.
That’s all. Thank you!江苏省石庄高级中学06届高考二轮复习专项练习

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
（A）
The Internet has opened up a whole new on-line world for us to meet, chat and go where we've never been before.
But just as in face-to-face communication, there are some basic rules of behavior that should be followed when online. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated．Imagine how you'd feel if you were in the other person's shoes.
For anything you're about to send: ask yourself, "Would I say this to the person's face " If the answer is no, rewrite and reread．Repeat the process till you feel sure that you'd feel comfortable saying the words to the person's face.
If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages. If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.
Everyone was new to the network once. Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake whether it's a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer be kind about it. If it's a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn't give you license to correct everyone else.
If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely. At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.
It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex, and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don't ask such questions.
56. When you send short messages to a person, you must _____.
A．make sure that they mean no harm B．read them again and again
C．say something good to hear D．repeat them later to the person's face
57. If you are hurt in the chat room by others, you should _____
A．fight back in the same way B．take them seriously
C．have none of them D．be angry at them
58. If a newcomer who communicates on line makes any mistakes, you _____.
A．should point them out sharply
B．shouldn’t give any advice unless required by them
C．should say something about them
D．should take your responsibility to correct them
59. This passage mainly tells us ______.
A．some rules of Internet communication. B．ways of sending messages
C．rules of the chat room D．ways of making friends on the Internet
(B)
When most people think of tropical islands, lined with white sandy beaches and bright blue seas, it is often the Caribbean or South Pacific that comes to mind．But for Chinese tourists who want a taste of paradise on Earth there is a new place to consider.
Mauritius, an island lying off the southeast of Africa in the Indian Ocean, has just been added to China's list of tourist destinations. Rich in history, natural beauty and culture, the island has been a popular destination for the world's tourists for many years.
On December 15 a total of eight African countries were added to the list. The others are Tunisia, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Kenya, Zimbabwe, Zambia and the Seychelles.
The island has passed through the controlling hands of a number of European powers, including Dutch, French and British. In 1968, Mauritius won its independence.
At present, over half the population of Mauritius is Hindu and another fifth is Muslim. Both groups are descendants(后裔)from workers brought to the island from India by the British. Some Chinese were also brought over to work. There are also descendants of African slaves and Franco-Mauritians, the original settlers of the island.
One of the best things about the island is the food．There is a mouth-watering mix of European, Chinese and Indian flavours and seafood is very popular. A typical Mauritian dinner might have Indian chicken curry, Chinese pork, British roast beef and French-style vegetables. Boiled rice is served with just about everything. All that is washed down with a plentiful supply of local beer and rum(朗姆酒).
The pleasant tropical climate and scenery provide the perfect setting to enjoy everything. The sea is full of colorful life that lives around the coral reef. This makes Mauritius a wonderful place for swimming and diving. The large number of interesting fish means it is also an exciting place for those who like to go fishing.
60. Which of the following can’t be used to describe Mauritius
A．Tropical island, white sandy beach and bright blue sea.
B．Beautiful scenery, rich history and culture.
C．Most of the people in Mauritius are black.
D．Delicious food mixed with eastern and western flavours.
61. Which group of the following topics is not discussed in the text
A．Food and history. B．Scenery and population.
C．Location and sports. D．Natural resources and agriculture.
62. Which of the following is true
A．Mauritius has something similar to the Caribbean or South Pacific.
B．Mauritius has a history of less than 40 years.
C．Mauritius has been a popular destination for Chinese tourists for many years.
D．The main food in Mauritius is local beer and rum.
63. The underlined word “This” in the last paragraph refers to ________.
A．Pleasant tropical climate B．Beautiful scenery
C．The sea with colorful life D．The coral reef

The earth's biosphere (the surface layer of the planet and the surrounding atmosphere) provides the land, air, water, and energy necessary to sustain life. This life-support system is a complex, interdependent one in which energy from the sun is changed into food for humans. The entire system depends on the sun, reasonably moderate temperature, and enough supplies of oxygen, pure water, and fertile soil.
Since the earth's creation millions of years ago, the ecosystem has worked as an interdependent system relatively undisturbed by outside forces. But recently, especially since the Industrial Revolution, human beings have begun to disturb the balance of nature. Natural resources have been severely depleted (消耗) (forests have been destroyed, fertile land worn away, water polluted, and minerals used up), and the life-support system of air, water, and land has been poisoned by a variety of waste products and chemicals.
The degree of these problems was noted in a report by the U.N. Developing Council on Environmental Quality. This report predicted that if present trends continue, the world will be more crowded and polluted and less stable ecologically and politically than the world we live in now.
The twin problems of resource shortages and pollution are caused by three social forces. First, the tremendous increase in population growth constantly increases the demand for food, energy, and other products. As the current population continues to increase, the stress on an already overburdened environment will be increased．A second source of the problem is the concentration of people in urban areas, where the ecosystem simply cannot absorb their waste products. Finally, environmental problems are worsened as more and more nations move toward modem development: an increased reliance on modern technology. As these nations become more technological, they will consume more energy, deplete more natural resources, and create more waste products than the biosphere can absorb.
64. The life-support system is composed of _____.
A．air, water and land B．the earth, the sun and energy
C．food, land and energy D．food, energy and the sun
65. The life-support system _____.
A．change energy from the sun into food for humans
B．depends on the sun for enough supplies of air, water and land
C．exists in the surface layer of the earth and the surrounding atmosphere
D．is a complex but independent system
66. The life-support system has been badly damaged by _____.
A．natural forces B．human activities C．social movements D．political changes
67. The passage mainly talks about _____.
A．the effects of Industrial Revolution on human beings
B．the importance of life-support system to human beings
C．the significance of balance of nature
D．the destruction of life-support system and its causes

A Chilean(智利)soap-opera star, a beauty from Ancient Pompeii and a freckled (雀斑的)boyish girl hardly make an average beauty show line-up.
The first world-wide digital beauty contest to the surprise of many online fans was won by a woman who is virtually(虚拟) real flesh and bones. "Virtual models are not the anti-real, they are a different representation of reality," said Franz Cerami, the organizer of Miss Digital World (数字世界小姐).
Each of the contestants had to provide the charming photo of high degrees, with date of birth and body measurements.
Chilean Rodolfo Perez Ayala decided that no figure of his imagination could beat the beauty of his wife, Katty Kowaleczko, so he hired artist Flavio Parra to recreate her. Kowaleczko, who plays Paula Sandoval in the popular Latin American soap opera Tentacion, was transformed into Katty-ko and won the digital contest with more than 17,000 online votes.
"I'm so happy Katty-ko won. I think her strength is her similarity to a real woman - not too luxurious or exposed", Kowaleczko, 40, told reporters. "Her beauty is in her simplicity." Kowaleczko was not afraid of being replaced by her 3D clone in movies or theatres, but hoped she would become "a sort of ambassador(使者) of Chilean beauty".
Cerami said Latin American interest in Miss Digital World had greatly increased since Katty-ko joined the contest, which attracted about 3600 entries from countries from Iran to Australia and even from the ancient Roman empire.
"Pompea" was the digital reconstruction of a young woman killed by the outbreak of Vesuvius in 79 AD．"She was a slave, but also a rich man's lover. When her body was discovered, many jewels and a bangle(手镯) with the writing 'from the master to his servant girl' were found" said Genny Tortora, a professor at the University of Salerno who led Pompea's creative team.
Other contestants included Kaya, the most realistic model with digital freckles, pouty (噘起的) lips and upturned nose.
Now, Cerami's dream is to manage a form of virtual beauties, introducing them for calendars, games, ads, and movies. One is even reported to be heading for Playboy's front page.
72.The winner in the first Miss Digital World contest was ______.
A．a star who performed in some soap operas
B．a beauty who came from Chilean
C．a beauty who was from the ancient Roman empire
D．a made-up beauty based on a real woman.
73. Which group of the following are the names for the digital beauties mentioned in the passage
A．Katty-ko, Pompea, Kaya.
B．Katty Kowaleczko, Pompea, Playboy.
C．Flavio Parra, Genny Tortora, Franz Cerami.
D．Rodolfo Perez Ayala, Pompea, Franz Cerami
74. The digital beauty “Pompea” was created by ______.
A．Genny Tortora B．a group of people
C．by a young woman D．a rich man
75. What the organizer of Miss Digital World wants to do next is ______.
A．sell pictures of beauties for calendars B．hold another contest
C．put the digital beauties into practical use. D．start an ads company
（A）
这是一篇时文类阅读材料。网络是个虚拟世界，你去网上冲浪，或到论坛灌水，你的行为得体吗？其实，网上交流也应当遵循一些基本的行为规则。
56. A 细节归纳题。短文第三段表述的意思是：倘若现在我们面对面，我这样说合适吗？如果答案是否定的，那么就把信息重写一遍，然后读一遍。如此反复几次，直到你觉得语言比较得体时，再把它发出去。由此可得出答案。
57. C 细节事实题。短文第四段提到：你可能本能地想马上予以“还击”。不要这样做。你可以不理那个人。
58. B 细节归纳题。根据第五段的内容可知：有人出错了，如果只是一个小错误，那你根本没必要说什么，你也没有纠正别人的权力，只能是在别人请求之下，你才可以给他们提点建议（Offer advice when asked by newcomers）。
59. A 主旨大意题。根据第二段“But just as in face-to-face communication, there are some basic rules of behavior that should be followed when online”一句可知。
(B)
这是一篇地理类短文。本文介绍的是印度洋上的一颗明珠——毛里求斯。她具有迷人的风光，诱人的美食，多元的文化，真可谓人间天堂。
60. C 事实细节题。第五段“over half the population of Mauritius is Hindu”的意义：毛里求斯现在一半的人口为印度人。根据我们中学生应该具备的常识，印度人不属于黑色人种，由此推断可知。
61. D 事实归纳题。通读全文，短文中没有涉及“自然资源和农业”。其他几项都能找到。
62. A 推测题。短文第一段的意义是：一提起以白色的沙滩和迷人的大海而著称的热带群岛，人们大多会想起加勒比海或是南太平洋上的岛屿。而现在，中国游客又多了另外一个天堂般的好去处——毛里求斯。由此衬托出毛里求斯与加勒比海或南太平洋上的岛屿有相类似的风光。毛里求斯1968年赢得独立，独立不到40年，但不能说她有不到40 年的历史，可排除B项。第二段提到毛里求斯日前对中国公民开放旅游，可排除C项。倒数第二段“Boiled rice is served with just about everything. All that is washed down with a plentiful supply of local beer and rum”的意思是：主食为米饭。用餐的时候少不了喝一些当地的啤酒和朗姆酒，可排除D项。
63. C 指代题。根据这两句的意义：五颜六色的小生物在珊瑚礁周围生存和繁衍，把大海点缀得分外美丽。（这样的大海）使毛里求斯成为游客畅游、潜水的好地方。因此，This指代The sea with colorful life。
(C)
这是一篇环保类短文，本文讲叙的是：地球的生物圈提供了一种由土地、空气、水和能量组成的生命支持系统，这一系统将太阳能转化为人类的食物。
64. A细节理解题。根据文章开头前两句，（the land, air, water, and energy necessary to sustain life）生命支持系统是由土地、空气、水和能量组成的。
65. B细节理解题。根据第一段第二、三句，（The entire system depends on the sun）生命支持系统是一个复杂的相互依赖的系统，在此系统中太阳能被转化为人类的食物。
66. B归纳概括题。在第二段中提到，尤其工业革命后，人类开始扰乱自然界的平衡，自然资源大量枯竭，主要是通过排放废产品和化学物质。所有上述行为可归结为human activities。
67. D主旨大意题。文章开头先讲了生命支持系统是什么，然后又讲了由于人类行为而造成的问题以及造成这些问题的三种社会力量，所以D项能概括这几层意思。
(D)
这是一篇广告类阅读材料，从表格的上面的标题可看出，这是一些分类商业广告。
68. C 根据二栏四行“AUTOMOBILE BUSINESS NOW FOR SALE”中的信息可知，这是车辆买卖广告。D项的干扰性较大，一栏三行“WANT TRUCK BUSINESS”这是寻求汽车运输联营广告。
69. B 根据二栏一行和一栏五行的信息，前者是卖房广告，后者是买房广告，所以Dora该打电话给Stein。
70. A 根据二栏五行“looking to become a working partner in your business”可知，Mrs. Meikle是想找一份工作。
71. B 根据每条广告信息的标题内容，出售广告共有六个。
(E)
这是一篇时尚类短文。本文讲叙的是：首届“数字世界小姐”选美，智利虚拟美女“凯蒂”夺冠。
72. D 事实细节题。根据第二段“was won by a woman who is virtually real flesh and bones”可知：首届“数字世界小姐” 最后的赢家是一位以真人为原型的虚拟美女。
73. A 事实归纳题。短文中提到的三位“数字美女”，根据第四段“以凯蒂·科瓦列兹为原型塑造的“凯蒂”在网上投票中以1.7万票赢得此次数字小姐大赛的冠军”一句，可知她的名字是“凯蒂”；倒数第三段和倒数第二段分别提到：“庞贝尔”是利用数字技术“复活”的一名公元79年在维苏威火山爆发中死去的年轻女子；其他参赛者还包括最具现实主义风格的虚拟美女“凯亚”，由此可判断出另外两个名字是“庞贝尔”和“凯亚”。
74. B 推断题。短文倒数第三段“Genny Tortora, a professor at the University of Salerno who led Pompea's creative team.”的意义是：热尼·托尔托拉，萨勒诺大学的教授，他是“庞贝尔”设计小组的领导人。根据此句意义可推测“庞贝尔”是由集体成员创作的。
75. C 细节理解题。短文最后一段的意义是：赛拉米现在的梦想是成立一个虚拟美女公司，将她们“推销”给挂历、游戏、广告和电影等产业。据报道，已经有一位美女登上了《花花公子》的头版。由此可概括为“practical use”。
短文改错：
76. √
77. managed 改为tried。根据上下文可知，人们一直在尝试做天气预报。
78. is改为are。The following后面的谓语动词的单复数取决于后面的some of their findings。
79. seemed改为seem。叙述客观情况，并且整篇文章主体时态是一般现在时。
80. sign前加a。sign是可数名词，根据语境和逻辑此处应用单数。
81. 第一个that 改为which。引导非限制性定语从句要用which，而不能用that。
82. sound改为sounds。根据主谓一致原则,本句的谓语是复数，主语sound也应该是复数。
83. storm改为stormy。要用形容词stormy作定语修饰名词weather。
84. 去掉will。在条件状语从句中，要用一般现在时表示将来。
85. fine前加be或become。根据句法和行文逻辑，此处缺少系动词。

Everyone has good days and bad days.
Sometimes, you feel as if you're on top of the world．But occasionally you feel horrible, and you lose things and you cannot focus on your schoolwork.
For more than 20 years, scientists have suggested that high self-esteem (自尊) is the key to success. Now, new research shows that focusing just on building self-esteem may not be helpful. In some cases, having high self-esteem can bring bad results if it makes you less likeable or more upset when you fail at something.
"Forget about self-esteem," says Jennifer Crocker, a psychologist (心理学家) at the University of Michigan, US. "It's not the important thing."
Feeling good
Crocker's advice may sound a bit strange because it is good to feel good about yourself.
Studies show that people with high self-esteem are less likely to be depressed, anxious, shy, or lonely than those with low self-esteem.
But, after reviewing about 18,000 studies on self-esteem, Roy Baumeister, a psychologist at Florida State University, has found that building up your self-esteem will not necessarily make you a better person.
He believes that violent and wicked (邪恶的) people often have the highest self-esteem of all. He also said: "There's no evidence that kids with high self-esteem do better in school."
Problems
All types of people have problems. People with high self-esteem can have big egos (自我) that can make them less likeable to their peers (同龄人), said Kathleen Vohs, a psychology professor at Columbia University.
People with high self-esteem tend to think more of themselves, Vohs says. People with low self-esteem are more likely to rely on their friends when they need help.
What to do
Researchers say it is best to listen to and support other people. Find positive ways to contribute to society. If you fail at something try to learn from the experience. "The best therapy (药方) is to recognize your faults," Vohs says. "It's OK to say, 'I'm not so good at that,' and then move on."
56. The new research comes to the conclusion that high self-esteem ______.
A．is not important at all B．has taken on a different meaning
C．may not be the key to success D．does not help you do better at school
57. One of the conclusions of the new research is that ______.
A．feeling good about oneself doesn’t mean you lead a happier life
B．people with high esteem usually do not seek other’s help
C．people with high esteem tend to be proud
D．people with low esteem are often more popular
58. The underlined part “a better person” in the passage probably means a person who is ______.
A．helpful and supportive B．gentle and modest
C．likable and successful D．friendly and kind
59. From the text, we can infer the best therapy mentioned in the last paragraph is mainly for
people _______.
A．with high self-esteem B．with low self-esteem

Bored Don't know what to do with your time Get your friends or family together, go to the park or go hiking, do something fun —just don't turn on your TV.
The 10th annual TV-Turnoff Week starts on Monday. The TV-Turnoff Network, a nonprofit organization, began the program in 1994 to get children and adults to watch less television so that their time is spent doing more productive things. This year, millions of people will participate and find much more interesting things to do besides sitting in front of the television.
Experts are convinced（确信）that watching too much TV keeps kids from participating in healthy physical activities. The average household has a television on for 7 hours and 40 minutes a day! Kids spend more time watching TV than they spend in school. Turning off the TV gives you a chance to be with your family and friends. Going without it frees up valuable time that could be spent reading a good book, writing, drawing, or discovering something else that may interest you.
There are many organizations that support TV-Turnoff Week, including The Boys and Girls Clubs of America, YMCA, Girl Scouts USA, and Big Brothers/Big Sisters of America．Even First Lady Laura Bush is a supporter. "Television is no substitute for a parent. It doesn't help develop language skills; it's simply background noise," says Mrs. Bush.
Even kids who may not have liked going without TV have discovered the benefits. "I really didn't like TV-Turnoff Week except I did notice that my grades went up and I was in a good mood all week," said Drew Henderson, a student in Donora, Pennsylvania.

Six Americans are working on a new highway. But this highway won't have any traffic．It's an "ice highway" to the South Pole.
The team has just finished a second year of work on the 1,020-mile highway. "The road is the greatest single footprint of activity we've seen in the Antarctic (南极洲)," said Alan Hemmings, an Australian environmentalist.
The highway will provide a new way for supplies to be trekked (拉, 搬) across the earth on tractor-pulled sleds (雪橇). This method will use a lot less fuel than an aircraft, the current (当前的) way that scientists and supplies reach the Amundsen-Scott Base, a U.S. research station in the South Pole. The highway will also allow for equipment that is too big for planes to carry to be brought to Antarctica．Even with these benefits, there is one disadvantage—a round trip on the road will be 30 days, compared to a few hours by plane.
Making this 20-foot-wide road isn't easy, and it takes a lot of time. The crew (工作队) has been working on the road for two summers, when it's warmer and easier to work with the ice. It probably won't be completed until 2006.
Crevasses (裂缝), or cracks, in the land often make the construction difficult. Crevasses are kind of like pot holes that form when surface ice is stretched．This can be very dangerous, especially when the crevasses are hidden under a layer (层) of snow and can't be seen.
"Last year it took us three months to go three miles across a crevasse field, full of dangerous, hidden crevasses," said the project's manager, John Wright. Each year, more crevasses appear and they have to be filled with snow and ice so the road is safe for travel. The road will also be lined with green flags so travelers know where the safe surface is.
64. It will probably take ______ years to complete the ice highway.
A．2 B．4 C．6 D．8
65. When it is finished, the highway will not be used for ______.
A．giving supplies to the research station in the South Pole
B．taking scientists to the South Pole
C．taking travelers to a tour of Antarctic
D．bringing huge equipment to Antarctic
66. How many miles can be covered at most each day if you take the ice highway to the South
Pole
A．30. B．34. C．68. D．88.
67. Which of the following is true according to the passage
A．Other crevasses won’t appear if a crevasse has been filled.
B．Many new crevasses will form after a crevasse has been filled.
C．Travelers can drive their sleds on the ice highway freely.
D．There will be less danger if the crevasses are covered by snow.

Australia is famous for its beautiful beaches. And Australian people love swimming and going to the beach. But it wasn't always that way.
Different Climate, Different habits
When Europeans first invaded Australia, the only people here who were good at swimming were the Aboriginal people. The Europeans came from climates where it was too cold to swim. Also some people worried that they would get sick if they wet their whole body.
However the warm climate of Australia soon changed their attitude to swimming. At first, only men swam. They swam naked - there were no women to see them.
Cover up!
By the 1880’s and 90’s visiting the beach was very fashionable and a lot of people went there, especially in warm weather. They wore everyday street clothes - much more than people wear at the beach today.
In those days, people believed they should cover most of their body so it would not be seen by the opposite sex. Special bathing costumes were designed for women. These costumes used a lot of cloth and were very heavy when wet, making it difficult to swim.
Laws Made and Laws Changed
The government decided to stop men swimming naked．It passed a law which forbade bathing between 6am and 7pm. Many people objected to this law and wrote letters to the government asking it to change the laws. In 1903, the laws changed; people could swim in the daytime, but they had to wear neck-to-knee costumes.
The Shrinking Costume
As time passed, swimming costumes became smaller and more convenient.
At first men and women were covered from neck to knee. Then the arms became bare. Then more of the legs were uncovered．Each new change was regarded by many as shocking and rude and people wrote letters to the newspapers complaining about the new costumes. Nowadays some people go to special "nude (裸体) beaches" to swim naked．
However, most people cover their bodies more than they did ten years ago -- not because they think bare skin is shocking -- but to protect their skin from the harmful rays of the sun.
68. The climate of Australia _____.
A．made European setters think differently about swimming
B．change European setters’ swimming costume
C．made European setters hotter
D．made European setters swim naked
69. During the late 19th century, swimmers should _____.
A．hide when they see a person of the opposite sex
B．cover their bodies
C．wear many heavy clothes
D．take no notice of their clothes
70. According to the law just before1903, people must _____.
A．not swim in the main daylight hours
B．only swim between 6am and 7pm
C．have a bath at 6am and 7pm
D．swim with neck-to-knee costumes between 6am and 7pm
71. The last paragraph of the passage states that _____.
A．people worry about getting skin cancer from too much sun
B．people protect their ten-year-old sons from bare skin
C．people are shocked by the sun
D．people think it rude to swim with the smaller costumes

"It takes an entire village to raise a child." That's an old proverb (谚语) that is being quoted more and more often these days. And I'm pleased about that.
Today, more and more schools are reaching out to involve parents, community members and businesses（工商企业）to help shape a child's future.
Parents need to be involved in their children's education in many ways. Helping children with homework and studying, going on a field trip, teaching a craft（手工艺）or coaching a child's sports team are all great ways to be involved with your child's education. And don't forget to communicate with teachers ---- they need and respect your input. Studies show that children learn more and schools function better when parents and schools work together. It's important to stay in touch with your child's education all through his or her school career.
Communities can help children create and achieve new goals. Help with homework, read to a child, coach a children's team, or provide emotional（情感上的）support. Help solve problems and build self-esteem（自尊心）. Kids need role models and advisers can be role models by sharing their experiences and wisdom.
Businesses can also help shape our children's future. Invite a class from your local school to visit your workplace. You may be providing a glimpse that opens a new world of possibilities. Show students what goes on during a typical day. Give a mini course for students: how to use a computer; how products are made; how machinery works. You may have a developing electrician, teacher, nurse, or even a newspaper reporter on your hands.
It really does take an entire village to raise a child．So share the responsibility（职责）-- and the joy -- of bringing a child to his or her full potential（潜能）.
72. The implied advice in the proverb "It takes an entire village to raise a child." is that ______.
A．All the people in a village should give food to a child.
B．Schools, parents, and other organizations should share the responsibility of shaping a
child's future.
C．Children should be brought up in the village where they were born.
D．Schools should be set up in the village where a child was raised.
73. The text was written mainly for ______.
A．parents and members in organizations
B．teachers and students
C．newspaper reporters and developing electricians
D．education experts and government officials
74. Students can get developed in practical working skill through ______.
A．parental involvement B．community activities
C．business training D．school teaching
75. Which is NOT true according to the passage
A．Parents play an important part in children’s education.
B．Communities have not a bit effect on the way to new and high ideal.
C．Educating a child well demands of the work not only from school but from other
organizations.
D．Businesses may arrange some training courses for students.
这是一篇有关心理学知识的短文，最新研究表明“盲目的、过分的自信是不可取的”。
56. C 细节理解题。短文第三段表述“二十多年来，科学家们认为高度自信是成功的关键”，但从第四段中的“Now, new research shows that focusing just on building self-esteem may not be helpful”一句可知“新的研究表明高度自信可能不是成功的关键”。

73. A 主旨意图题，综合全文可以推断作者的写作意图是“号召人们参与孩子的教育和培养”，所以此文主要为“parents and members in organizations”所作。
74. C 从倒数第二段中可以看出，“孩子们的实践操作能力主要来自工商企业的培训”。
75. B not a bit意为“一点也不，根本没有”，等于“not at all”。第四段的意义可验证答案。

(A)
Do you find getting up in the morning so difficult that it’s painful This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.
During the hours when you labor through your work you may say that you’re “hot”, that’s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak(最高峰). For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why it is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues(自言自语)as: “Get up, John! You’ll be late for work again!” the possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature—and—energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has.
You can’t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe you’re sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract(对抗)your cycle to some extent by habitually staying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam and work better at your low point.
Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up with a leisurely yawn(呵欠)and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for your sharper hours.
56. If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably ______.
A．he is a lazy person
B．he refuses to follow his own energy cycle

58. If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the morning, he should ______.
A．change his energy cycle B．overcome his laziness
C．get up earlier than usual D．go to bed earlier
59. You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will ______.
A．help to keep your energy for the day’s work
B．help you to control your temper early in the day
C．enable you to concentrate on your routine work
D．keep your energy cycle under control all day

Perhaps the most astonishing theory to come out of kinetics, the study of body movement, was suggested by Professor Ray Birdwhistell. He believes that physical appearance is often culturally programmed．In other words, we learn our looks; we are not born with them.
A baby has generally unformed facial features. A baby, according to Birdwhistell, learns where to set the eyebrows by looking at those around family and friends. This helps explain why the people of some regions of the United States look so much alike. New Englanders or Southerners have certain common facial characteristics that cannot be explained by genetics (遗传学) “The exact shape of the mouth is not set at birth, it is learned after. In fact, the final mouth shape is not formed until well after permanent (永久的) teeth are set. For many, this can be well into adolescence (青春期). A husband and wife together for a long time often come to look somewhat alike. We learn our looks from those around us. This is perhaps why in a single country there are areas where people smile more than those in other areas. In the United States, for example, the South is the part of the country where the people smile most frequently. In New England they smile less, and in the western part of New York State still less. Many Southerners find cities such as New York cold and unfriendly, Partly because people on Madison Avenue smile less than people on Peach Tree Street in Atlanta, Georgia．People in densely (稠密地) populated urban areas also tend to smile and greet each other in public less than people in rural areas and small towns.
64. Ray Birdwhistell believes that physical appearance ______.
A．has little to do with culture B．can be influenced by culture
C．is decided by culture D．varies from place to place
65. Ray Birdwhistell can tell what region of the United States a person is from by ______.
A．how much he or she laughs B．how he or she raises his or her eyebrows
C．what he or she likes best D．the way he or she talks
66. People who live _____ are more friendly according to the passage.
A．in densely populated areas B．in the country
C．in New York City D．in the North
67. This passage might have been taken out of a book dealing with ______.
A．physics B．health C．chemistry D．none of the above

A black hole is created when a large star burns out. Like our sun, stars are unbelievably hot furnaces(熔炉) that burn their own matter as fuel. When most of the fuel is used up, the star begins to die.
The death of a star is not a quiet event. First there is a huge explosion. As its outer layer is blasted off into space, the dying star shines as brightly as a billion suns.
After the explosion gravity pulls in what’s left of the star. As the outside of the star sinks toward the center, the star gets smaller and smaller. The material the star is made of becomes tightly packed together. A star is so dense that a teaspoon of matter from it weighs billion of pounds.
The more the star shrinks, the stronger the gravity inside it becomes. Soon the star is very tiny, and the gravity pulling it in is unbelievably strong. In fact, the gravity is so strong that it even pulls light into the star! Since all the light is pulled in, none can go out. The star becomes black when there is no light. Then a black hole is born!
That’s what we know about black holes. What we don’t know is this: What happens inside a black hole after the star has been squeezed into a tiny ball Does it keep getting smaller and smaller forever Such a possibility is hard to imagine.
But if the black hole doesn’t keep shrinking, what happens to it Some scientists think black holes are like doorways to another world．They say that as the star disappears from our universe, it goes into another universe. In other words a black hole in our universe could turn into a “white hole” in a different universe. As the black hole swallows light, the white hole shines brightly — somewhere else. But where A different place, perhaps, or a different time — many years in the past or future.
Could you travel through a black hole Right now, no. Nothing we know of could go into a black hole without being crushed．So far the time being, black hole must remain a mystery.
Black holes are a mystery—but that hasn’t stopped scientists from dreaming about them. One scientist suggested that in the future we might make use of the power of black holes. They would supply all of Earth’s energy needs, with plenty to spare. Another scientist wondered if a black hole could some day be used to swallow earthly waste—a sort of huge waste disposal (处理) in the sky!
68. When the star begins to die ______.
A．there is no fuel left in it B．its outer layer goes into space first
C．a huge explosion will happen D．it doesn’t give off light any longer
69. Which of the following doesn’t help produce a black hole
A．The gravity inside the star is very strong.
B．The light can’t go out of the star.
C．The star becomes smaller and smaller
D．The dying star shines very brightly.

B．goes into another universe and becomes a white hole
C．can pull in everything we know of in the world
D．will appear at another place at a different time

It’s the place where smart people make smart machines work even smarter. But for the people who work in it, Silicon Valley (硅谷) is more than just a high technology hothouse. It’s also in the heart of sunny California, a great place to start a family and raise kids. What could be better
But something is happening to the children. Up until the age of two they develop normally. Their proud parents watch and smile as they take their first steps and speak their first words. But then everything seems to go backwards. The children become locked into their own small world, unable to communicate at all.
They call it the “curse of Silicon Valley,” but the medical name for the condition is autism（孤独症）. It used to be thought that autism was a mental illness. Now doctors are sure that it is a disease transmitted genetically (遗传). It seems that the people leading the communications revolution are having children who cannot communicate at all.
But even the parents have trouble communicating. Asperger’s Syndrome (综合症) is connected with autism. People who have it are highly intelligent and often brilliant with numbers or systems but have no social skills, which makes Asperger’s sufferers into excellent computer professionals. Unfortunately, many of the children of two Asperger’s parents in Silicon Valley seem to be developing serious autism.
There is little anyone can do. And there is no cure in sight. Some argue that no cure should be found．“It may be that autistics are essentially (本质上) different from normal people, but that these differences make them valuable for the evolution (进化) of the human race,” says Dr Kirk Wilhelm of the University of California．“To remove the genes (基因) for autism could be terrible.
It seems that the children of Silicon Valley are paying the price of genius.
72. A person who has autism usually _____.
A．has difficulty in speaking B．loses communication skills
C．has difficulty in working D．hates people around
73. Which of the following best explains “curse of Silicon Valley”
A．The children are brought up in Silicon Valley.
B．Autism is just a result of working in Silicon Valley.
C．The children suffer from autism due to their parents in Silicon Valley.
D．Autism makes the children in Silicon Valley unable to communicate.
74. Some people think that no cure of autism should be found because ______.
A．autism cannot be cured B．autism isn’t a disease
C．harm will be done to the children D．autism is necessary in some way
75. What does the writer seem to feel about the children of Silicon Valley
A．It’s a pity that they cannot have a normal life.
B．They are the pride of the human race.
C．They are sure to have a bright future.
D．It’s likely that they will have a normal life.
56. D 根据原文第二段描述，一个人在他一天中感到精力最充沛的时刻也正是他体温周期处于最高峰之时。这个体温高峰有些人是在上午，但有些人却是在下午或晚上。对于那些起不了早的人来说，显然其体温高峰是在下午或晚上，故D项正确。
57. A 根据第二段最后一句的结论：Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean, and which cycle each member of the family has. 如果不了解这些，自然会发生争吵，故选A.
58. C推断依据为第三段倒数第二句：If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won’t change your cycle, but you’ll get up steam and work better at your low point.故选C.
59. A 由第四段第一句Get off to a slow start which saves your energy.可知。

66. B 细节题。根据People in densely populated urban areas also tend to smile and greet each other in public less than people in rural areas and small towns.可知答案。
67. D 推断题。文章首句有kinetics, the study of body movement,，可见此文是关于身体运动学的内容的，与A、B、C无关。故选D。
68. C 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知。
69. D 细节理解题。D项是黑洞形成前的现象。
70. C 根据倒数第二段“Nothing we know of could go into a black hole without being crushed.”可知。其余三项都是科学家们的猜测。
71. C 主旨大意题。题目的选择应具有高度的概括性、强烈的针对性及一定的醒目性。首先可排除A项，因为黑洞早已不再是新鲜的话题。B、D两项只是短文的两个方面。
72. B 细节题。根据The children become locked into their own small world, unable to communicate at all.可知，患了这种孤独症的人丧失了交际能力。
73. C 词义猜测题。根据Now doctors are sure that it is a disease transmitted genetically(遗传).可知儿童患上这种病与父母在硅谷工作有关，是父母惹的祸，故称之为curse of Silicon Valley（硅谷之祸）。

Susan Williams went to a boarding school. Here is one of the letters she wrote to her parents from the school.
Dear Mom and Dad,
I’m afraid I have some very bad news for you. I have been very naughty and the school principal is very angry with me. She is going to write to you. You must come and take me away from here. She does not want me in the school any longer.
The trouble started last night when I was smoking a cigarette in bed．This is against the rules, of course. We are not supposed to smoke at all.
As I was smoking, I heard footsteps coming towards the room. I did not want a teacher to catch me smoking, so I threw the cigarette away. Unfortunately, the cigarette fell into the waste-paper basket, which caught fire. There was a curtain near the waste-paper basket which caught fire, too. Soon the whole room was burning. The principal phoned for the fire department. The school is a long way from the town and by the time the fire department arrived, the whole school was in flames. Many of the girls are in the hospital.
The principal says that the fire was all my fault and you must pay for the damage. She will send you a bill for about a million dollars.
I am very sorry about this.
Much love, Susan.
P.S. None of the above is true, but I have failed my exams. I just want you to know how bad things could have been!

Read our guide because ---trust us--- you don’t want to be the one everyone’s rolling their eyes at.
GO RIGHT AHEAD:
GOLDEN RULE: Home is pretty much the only place where you can safely blab（闲聊） about anything without having to consider the needs of the people around you.
HANDLE WITH CARE in these places:
Waiting rooms: People here tend to be feeling anxious about their news --- not yours.
Shopping: Chatting while you’re in line will slow down checkout and make other shoppers angry.
GO RIGHT AHEAD: Make calls quickly and quietly, and be respectful of those forced to listen.
DON’T DO IT in these places:
Museums/libraries/churches:
There are places we go for peace and quiet --- it’s not proper to disturb others.
Movies and plays:
People pay to hear someone other than you perform.
Elevators/ bathrooms/ beauty salons/ public transportation:
No one around you can escape. Why force them to listen to your chitchat
Restaurants:
People come here partly to get away from ringing phones and enjoy their conversations , so don’t subject them to yours.
GO RIGHT AHEAD: Put your phone on vibrate（振动 ） if you must get a call but always wait until you are outside before you start talking.
While driving a car:
It’s rude to put other drivers in danger. So instead of going by the Golden Rules above, use a voice-activated phone（ 免提电话 ） --- and use it as little as possible. You are four times as likely to get into a car accident if you’re on the phone while you’re driving.
Hang up already:
How to politely ask that loud cell-take to speak softly:
If you’re in a place that has a manager, ask him or her to do the dirty work. Otherwise, put on your sweetest smile, tap the offender（冒犯别人者） on the shoulder, and try one of these carefully worded lines:
“Would you please end your call I can’t hear what they’re saying ”
（Try this when you’re watching movies and plays.）
“Excuse me, but you’re making it really hard for me to concentrate（专心）.”
（Good for museums, libraries, and places of worship.）
“Is it possible for you to speak a little more softly I have a bad headache.”
（This will usually work just about anywhere.）

In our culture, the sources of what we call a sense of “mastery” —feeling important and worthwhile—and the sources of what we call a sense of “pleasure”—finding life enjoyable—are not always the same. Women often are told “You can’t have it all.” Sometimes what the speaker really is saying is: “You choose a career, so you can’t expect to have closer relationships or a happy family life.” or “You have a wonderful husband and children—what’s all this about wanting a career ” But women need to understand and develop both aspects of well-being, if they are to feel good about themselves.
Our study shows that, for women, well-being has two aspects. One is mastery, which includes self-respect, a sense of control over your life, and low levels of anxiety and depression. Mastery is closely related to the “doing” side of life, to work and activity. Pleasure is the other aspect, and it is composed of（is made up of） happiness, satisfaction and optimism. It is tied more closely to the “feeling” side of life. The two are independent of each other. A woman could be high in mastery and low in pleasure, and vice versa（反之亦然）.For example, a woman who has a good job, but whose mother has just died, might be feeling very good about herself and in control of her work life, but the pleasure side could be damaged for a time.
The concepts （ideas） of mastery and pleasure can help us identify the sources of well-being for women, and correct past mistakes. In the past, women were encouraged to look only at the feeling side of life as the source of all well-being. But we know that both mastery and pleasure are important. And mastery seems to be achieved largely through work. In our study, all the groups of employed women rated significantly higher in mastery than women who were not employed did．
A woman’s well-being is developed when she takes on multiple（多项的）roles. At least by middle adulthood, the women who were involved in a combination of roles---marriages, motherhood, and employment---were the highest in well-being, in spite of warnings about stress and strain.
64．It can be inferred from the first paragraph that .
A．for women, a sense of “mastery” is more important than a sense of “pleasure”
B．for women, a sense of “pleasure” is more important than a sense of “mastery”
C．women can’t have a sense of “mastery” and a sense of “pleasure” at the same time
D．a sense of “mastery” and a sense of “pleasure” are both necessary to women.
65．The author’s attitude towards women having a career is .
A．negative B．positive
C．neutral（中立的） D．realistic
66．One can conclude from the passage that if a woman takes on several social
roles, .
A．it will be easier for her to overcome stress and strain
B．she will be more successful in her career
C．her chances of getting promoted（提升）will be greater
D．her life will be richer and more meaningful
67．Which of the following can be considered as a source of “pleasure” for women
A．Family life B．Multiple roles in society
C．Regular employment D．Freedom from anxiety
D
“The best thing we can do is to talk it over at tomorrow’s wedding,” said Digby. “If it comes to the point, we’ve all got to say the same thing. But there’s nothing in the evidence to connect the Directors（董事） with Henry’s murder, so I hope they won’t be questioned．The Scotland Yard men will probably want to see you as Henry’s previous employer, and that’s what I really came to see you about.”
I didn’t like the sound of this. I had never been questioned by the police in my life. “I don’t see that there’s anything to worry about,” said Digby.
“All you have got to do is to forget that one afternoon at the Casino（赌博俱乐部） when Henry came and threatened us. Apart from that, when was the last time you saw him ”
“ About a week before, in the town I asked him how he was getting along, and he said he was doing a few gardening jobs.”
“Then get it clear in your mind that that was the last time you ever saw him. Tell the Scotland Yard people everything you know about the old man. Tell them his life history if they want it.”
We had a drink and I began to feel better. It didn’t look as if my part was going to be so difficult after all: the elderly, respectable country gentleman talking to the police about an old servant of his family. Forget the one affair at the Casino, and there wasn’t a thing about Henry I needn’t talk about. There’d be just enough danger to keep me on the alert （警觉）. I was almost looking forward to it. But I caught a glance of Digby’s face as he looked up at the clock and realized how he had changed in the past few weeks: deep lines in his shake of his head that I hadn’t seen before. As our local police chief he had been in charge of the murder investigations in the midst（中央） of his anxieties as a director of the company. I asked him what line he would take himself with the men from Scotland Yard．
“Depends what they ask me,” he replied．“It’s something strange, but once you’ve got over the first shock, the rest comes quite easily. If I see these Scotland Yard men getting on to the scent（线索）, I shall lie right and left to put them off it, and I don’t think I shall feel any the worse.”
68．We can be sure the Scotland Yard men must be _______.
A．nice gentlemen in England B．Policemen
C．policemen in London D．high officials
69．_____ was the last time the writer saw Henry.
A．One day about a week before B．One afternoon at the Casino
C．The day Henry was murdered D．One day in the garden
70．The writer asked Digby _____ the men from Scotland Yard．
A．if it had anything to do with B．whether he was worried about
C．what he was going to tell D．if he was under the command of
71．Digby’s face changed in the past few weeks because ____.
A．he was in charge of the murder investigations
B．he had got over the first step
C．he was worried about the directors while investigating the murder
D．Henry had threatened him

A surprisingly high number of city citizens in China suffer from poor health and many die at an early age.
Poor health with no sign of any identified disease, a condition known in China as "sub health," is on the rise. Sub health is marked by general weakness, low energy levels and a poor immune（免疫的） system.
A survey held in 16 cities with over 1 million population showed high proportions of urban Chinese have been suffering sub health problems.
The numbers are particularly high in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, with 75.31, 73.49, and 73.41 per cent respectively of residents in poor health, the survey showed．
The problem happens mostly among senior and middle-level managers, clerks and other white-collar workers with high education levels, said the website of the Red Cross Society of China．
"The sub health condition, found in most cases among groups of people with a high educational level, will have bad effects on China's long-term development and progress if not dealt timely and properly," the website warned．
A survey by the Chinese Academy of Sciences shows that the average life of Chinese intellectuals is 58 years, 10 years lower than the nation's average.
This early death phenomenon may be increasing.
Among Chinese people with high education in the 25-59 age group, the death rate for women is as high as 10.4 per cent. For men it is even higher: 16.5 per cent.
A report published by the China Sub Health Academic Seminar said the country's health is going through a transitional（过渡的） period and many long-term diseases have taken the place of infectious diseases such as SARS, cold as the main cause of death.
"Bad working habits, poor disease prevention knowledge, not enough governmental investment and lack of health education are the main reasons," said Yang Xiaoduo, a healthcare expert with a local health association, who said China should race against time seeking measures to solve the sub health problem.
72．What will be talked about next
A．More reasons for sub health.
B．The way to solve the problem of sub health.
C．Who suffer from sub health.
D．Why people with high education more likely to suffer sub health.
73．According to the text which of the followings is NOT true
A．Chinese people especially the city citizens are suffering from sub health problem.
B．Sub health is famous for general weakness, low energy levels and a poor immune system.
C．Now more and more people realize the importance to stop sub health.
D．Sub health problem will do damage to our country’s development.
74．What does the word “ urban” mean
A．country　　 B．of city　　　 C．population　 D．residents
75．Which of the followings result in sub health

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项，并在答题卡将该项涂黑。
（A）
The UN Security Council was created in 1945. It is made up of 10 rotating (轮值的) members and five permanent members, which have a veto, the power to stop a resolution (决议). Most UN members now consider the organization's structure outdated． But any changes need the agreement of two-thirds of the 191 members, and no veto from any of the five permanent council members.
Last year, Japan, Germany, Brazil and India formed a lobbying (游说) group to get permanent council seats. But North and South Korea have doubts about Japan, Italy opposes Germany for a seat, Pakistan is against India's candidacy (候选资格) and Mexico and Argentina frown on Brazil.
A wave of emotion swept through China last week as millions voiced their opposition to Japan's permanent membership of the United Nations (UN) Security Council. By last Friday over 22 million Chinese had signed an online petition (请愿) against Japan's bid for a permanent seat on the council.
According to major Chinese websites, such as , more than 170,000 overseas Chinese also signed． This is the first online activity of its kind．
The petition was started by US-based Alliance for Preserving the Truth of the Sino-Japanese War (抗日战争史实维护会). They want Japan to apologize for crimes during World War II. The group also plans to present the petition to the UN this autumn.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao said he didn't think the petition shows anti-Japanese feeling. He believed instead it is a request for Japan to take a responsible attitude towards history.

He could have been president of Israel or played violin at Carnegie Hall, but he was too busy thinking. His thinking on God, love and the meaning of life grace our greeting cards and day-timers.
Fifty years after his death, his shock (蓬乱) of white hair and hanging mustache still symbolize genius. Einstein remains the foremost scientist of the modern time. Looking back 2,400 years, only Newton, Galileo and Aristotle were his equals.
Around the world, universities and academies (研究院) are celebrating the 100th anniversary of Einstein's "miracle year" when he published five scientific papers in 1905 that basically changed our grasp of space, time, light and matter. Only he could top himself about a decade later with his theory of relativity.
Born in the age of horse-drawn carriages, his ideas launched a technological revolution that has made more change in a century than in the previous two thousand puters, satellites, telecommunication, lasers, television and nuclear power all owe their invention to ways in which Einstein exposed a stranger and more complicated reality underneath the world．
He escaped Hitler's Germany and devoted the rest of his life to human rights and peace with an authority unmatched by any scientist today, or even most politicians and religious leaders. He spoke out against fascism (法西斯主义) and racial prejudice. His FBI (美国联邦调查局) file ran 1,400 pages.
His letters expose a disorderly personal life -- married twice and indifferent toward his children while absorbed in physics. Yet he charmed lovers and admirers with poetry and sailboat outings. Friends and neighbors fiercely protected his privacy.
60．The first paragraph implies that Einstein _____.
A．had the gift for politics and music

A "lost tribe" that reached America from Australia may have been the first Native Americans, according to a new theory.
If proved by DNA evidence, the theory will break long established beliefs about the southerly migration of people who entered America across the Bering Strait, found it empty and occupied it.
On this theory rests the belief of Native Americans to have been the first true Americans. They would be classified to the ranks of escapee, beaten to the New World by Aboriginals (土著人) in boats.
To a European, this may seem like an academic argument, but to Americans it is a philosophical question about identity (身份), Silvia Gonzales, of Liverpool University said .
Her claims are based on skeletons found in the California Peninsula of Mexico that have skulls (头骨) quite unlike the broad Mongolian features of Native Americans. These narrow-skulled people have more in common with southern Asians, Aboriginal Australians and people of the South Pacific Region.
The bones, stored at the National Museum of Anthropology (人类学) in Mexico City, have been carbon-dated and one is 12,700 years old, which places it several thousand years before the arrival of people from the North. "We think there were several migration waves into the Americas at different times by different human groups," Dr. Gonzales said． "The timing, route and point of origin of the first colonization of the Americas remains a most contentious topic in human evolution."
But comparisons based on skull shape are not considered conclusive by anthropologists, so a team of Mexican and British scientists, backed by the Natural Environment Research Council, has also attempted to take out DNA from the bones. Dr. Gonzales declined yesterday to say exactly what the results were, as they need to be checked, but indicated that they were consistent（一致） with an Australian origin.
68．It is generally considered that the first Native Americans came from _____.
A．North Asia B．Australia C．South Pacific D．South Asia
69．The skeletons found in the California Peninsula of Mexico have _____.
A．the broad skull shape
B．the narrow skull shape
C．different features of Aboriginal Australians
D．the same features of Native Americans
70．The underlined “contentious” is similar in meaning to “_____”.
A．likely to cause great interest B．difficult to solve
C．well-known to all D． likely to cause argument
71．Which of the following statements is true according to the text
A．Research on skulls can draw an exact conclusion.
B．DNA tests have proved the fact that the first Native Americans came from Australian.
C．Scientists are still not sure about the origin of the Native Americans.
D．People began to enter America across the Bering Strait about 12,700 years ago.

Beauty has always been regarded as something admirable. Almost everyone thinks attractive people are happier and healthier, have better marriages and have more respectable jobs. Personal consultants (顾问) give them better advice for finding jobs. Even judges are softer on attractive persons. But in the executive circle (政界), beauty can become a liability.
While attractiveness is a positive thing for a man’s rise, it is harmful to a woman. Handsome male executives were considered as having more honesty than plainer men; effort and ability were thought to be the reasons for their success. Attractive female executives were considered to have less honesty than unattractive ones; their success was attributed not to ability but to factors such as luck. All unattractive women executives were thought to have more honesty and to be more capable than the attractive female executives.
Why are attractive woman not thought to be able An attractive woman is thought to be more feminine (女性的) and an attractive man more masculine (男性的) than the less attractive ones. Thus, an attractive woman has an advantage in traditionally female jobs, but an attractive woman in a traditionally masculine position appears to lack the "masculine" qualities required．
This is true even in politics. Anne Bowman recently published a study on the effects of attractiveness on political candidates (候选人). She asked 125 undergraduate students to rank two groups of photographs, one of men and one of women in order of attractiveness. The students were told the photographs were of candidates for political offices. They were asked lo rank them again, in the order they would vote for them.
The results showed that attractive males completely defeated unattractive men, but the woman who had been ranked most attractive always received the fewest votes.
72．In traditionally female jobs, attractiveness _____.
A．strengthens the feminine qualities required
B．makes women look more honest and capable
C．is of great importance to women
D．often enables women to succeed quickly
73．Bowman’s experiment shows that when it comes to politics, attractiveness _____.
A．turns out to be an obstacle to men
B．affects men and women alike
C．has as little effect on men as on women
D． is more of an obstacle than a benefit to women
74．It can be inferred from the passage that people's views on beauty are often _____.
A．practical B．old-fashioned
C．prejudiced (偏见的) D．serious
75．The author writes this passage to _____.
A．discuss the negative aspects of being attractive
B．give advice to job-seekers who are attractive
C．demand equal rights for women
D．emphasize the importance of appearance

72. A 推断题。由文章第三段可知，人们觉得有魅力的女人比不那么有魅力的女人要更有女人特质。因此，在传统上女人所从事的工作中，有魅力的女人具有一定的优势。但在传统上男人所从事的工作中，有魅力的女人看起来缺乏所需的男性特质。由此可推出，在传统上女人所从事的工作中，魅力加强了所需的女人特质。A项符合题意。
73. D 推断题。由文章最后一段可知，有魅力的男性彻底击败了缺乏魅力的男性。而那些被认为最有魅力的女性常常得到最少的选票。由此可推出，在政界中，对于女性来说，魅力是一个障碍，而不是益处。
74. C 推断题。由文章第—段可知，几乎每个入都认为有魅力的人比别人更幸福健康。他们的婚姻更美满，并且拥有更令人尊敬的职业。在找工作方面，私人顾问给他们更好的建议。甚至法官对于有魅力的被告都手下留情。由此可推出，人们对美的看法往往是带偏见的，而没有事实的依据。
75. A 主旨题。本文虽然也讲述了魅力的许多积极方面，但那不是文章的主要方面。文章主要叙述了魅力给行政部门和政界中的女性所造成的不利因素。由此可见，作者写这篇文章是要讨论有魅力的消极方面。

The new version of the dictionary, which was founded in 1882, costs ￡7,500 and takes up 12 feet of shelf space.
Projects director Robert Faber said Stephen Lawrence was included because his death triggered "dramatic developments in British policing and social policy".
Women make up 10% of the entries - double the previous share - and include Queen Elizabeth I, Dusty Springfield, Linda McCartney and Virginia Woolf, whose father compiled the first edition.
Alongside the famous names are lesser known individuals such as the inventor of snooker, army reservist(预备役军人)Neville Chamberlain.
Stephen Lawrence and James Bulger were both included because of the "overwhelming soul-searching(真挚的自我反省、深思)and examination of education and social policy" which followed their deaths.
Mr Faber said: "These are not just people who were killed but people who had an impact. Jill Dando is there as much for her career but also because her death became a public event.
"So many of these people have seized the public imagination and have contributed to public debate."

What do literary greats Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Robert Burns have in common They both lived and wrote in Edinburgh, along with many other big names in the field of literature. This fact helped UNESCO (联合国教科文组织) award the city the title of world's first City of Literature on October 14.
Edinburgh left a lasting impression on Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930). Although he was born there he went to school in England but returned home for medical school. After graduating he moved to London and began writing his Sherlock Holmes stories. His inspiration for the character came from one of his professors at university. Holmes' methods were so clever that they actually furthered the advance of the study of criminology (犯罪学).
Robert Burns (1759-1796) is still regarded as Scotland's national poet, more than 200 years after his death. He is celebrated all over the world through translations of his work and the annual Burns Night supper on his birthday. One of his songs, "My Love is Like a Red Red Rose" ranks among the finest love songs ever written and "Auld Lang Syne" (友谊地久天长) is sung all around the world．
As one of the first literate societies in Europe, the Scottish Parliament passed the world's first compulsory (义务) education law in 1496. By the 1790s, almost all Scots could read． Visitors to Scotland often observed that even the lowest members of society had copies of Burns' poems and other books.

Animal Conservation
Many animal and plant species have become extinct（灭绝的）and many more are in critical danger. Finding ways to protect the earth's wildlife and conserve（保护）the natural world they inhabit（居住）is now more important than ever.
Dodo
The Dodo is a classic example of how human caused damage to the earth's biology. The flightless Dodo was native to the Island of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. It lived off fruit fallen from the island's trees and lived unthreatened until humans arrived in 1505. The easily controlled bird became a source of food for sailors and was attacked by animals introduced to the island by humans such as pigs, monkeys and rats. The population of Dodos rapidly decreased and last one was killed in 1681.
Rhinos
The Rhino (犀牛) horn is a highly prized item for Asian medicine. This has led to the animal being hunted in its natural habitat. Once widespread in Africa and Eurasia, most rhinos now live in protected natural parks and reserves（保护区）. Their numbers have rapidly decreased in the last 50 years, and the animals remain under constant threat from poachers（偷猎者）.
The Giant Panda
The future of the World Wildlife Fund's symbol is far from certain. As few as 1000 remain in the wild． The Chinese government has set up 33 panda reserves to protect these beautiful animals and made poaching them punishable with 20 years in prison. However, The panda's distinct black and white patched coat fetches a high price on the black market and determined poachers still pose（造成）one of the most serious threats to the animals continued existence.
Whales
The International Whaling Commission is fighting to ensure the survival of the whale species. Despite the fact that one-third the world's oceans have been declared whale sanctuaries（保护区）, 7 out of 13 whale species remain endangered． Hunted for their rich supply of oil, their numbers have decreased to just 300. Collisions（碰撞）with ships, poisonous pollution and being caught in fishing nets are other major causes of whale deaths.
Tigers
The last 100 years has seen a 95% reduction in the numbers of remaining tigers to between 5000 and 7000 and The Bali, Javan, and Caspian tigers are already extinct. The South China tiger is precariously close to disappearing, with only 20 to 30 still alive. Like the Rhino horn, tigers’ bones and organs are sought after for traditional Chinese medicines. These items are traded illegally along with tiger skins.
64. It implies that _______.
A．The Dodo lacked the ability to protect itself from other animals
B．Sailors to the Island of Mauritius lived mainly on the Dodo
C．The Dodo used to be a strong animal that liked fighting.
D． The Dodo, pigs, monkeys and rats were the natives to the Island of Mauritius
65. Which group of the following animals has already ceased to exist according to the text
A．The Dodo, Rhino and Giant Panda．
B．The Rhino, Whale and South China Tiger.
C．The Rhino, Panda, Whale and Tiger.
D． The Dodo and the Bali, Javan, and Caspian tigers.
66. ______ can serve as a cure for certain diseases.
A．The whale’s rich oil
B．The panda's black and white patched coat
C．The Rhino horn and tigers’ bones and organs
D． The Dodo’s delicious meat
67. Which of the following statements is NOT true
A．The number of South China tigers has reached crisis point.
B．Many animals are threatened with extinction as a result of human activity.
C．People hunt for the endangered animals for high profit.
D． The Whale is the representing mark for the World Wildlife Fund．

Have you ever dreamed of visiting a planet in the Milky Way (银河系) While the trip sounds exciting, it would take years and years to reach your destination. So in the future, bedtime for astronauts may be more than a few hours of regular shut eye. They would have to sleep for years.
European researchers are now conducting hibernation experiments. The study may help them understand whether humans could ever sleep through the years it would take for a space flight to distant planets. "If there was an effective technology, it could make deep-space travel a reality," said Mark Ayre of the European Space Agency last month.
What seems like a science fiction is not completely unlikely. Researchers have been able to use chemicals to put living cells into a sleep-like state where they don’t age. They have now moved on to the small, non-hibernating mammals (哺乳动物) like rats.
A major challenge is the fact that cells can be very simple systems, whereas body organs are far more complex (复杂的). "It’s like moving from a simple Apple computer to a supercomputer," said Marco Biggiogera, a hibernation researcher at Italy’s University of Pavia．Just like bears and frogs, the hibernation of human beings would cause a person’s metabolism (新陈代谢) to lower so they would need less energy.
Medical research, however, is just half of a space flight hibernation system. There is a challenge of designing a suitable protective shelter (栖身所). Such a shelter would provide the proper environment for hibernation, such as the proper temperature. It would also have to monitor (监控) life functions and serve the physiological needs of the hibernator.
According to Ayre, the six-person Human Outer Planets Exploration Mission (使命) to Jupiter’s moon (木星的卫星) Callisto could be an opportunity to use human hibernation. The mission aims to send six persons on a five-year flight to Callisto, where they will spend 30 days, in 2045.
68. According to the article, the hibernation research ______.
A．is just an idea B．is always a science fiction
C．has already finished successfully D． has made some progress
69. In a hibernating state, a person needs ______.
A．less sleep B．more food C．less energy D． more movement
70. The first try of the hibernation technology _____ the six-person Human Outer Planets
Exploration Mission to Jupiter’s moon Callisto.
A．will be B．has been planned for
C．is certain to be D． may be
71. What is the best title of the article
A．Hibernation Study For Space Travel B．Welcome To Our Space Travel
C．To Hibernate, To Live Longer D． Welcome To The Milky Way

A strong wind can be a dangerous thing — sometimes it is powerful enough to knock you off your feet. But to plants, the wind is a source of new life, carrying them or their spores (孢子) thousands of miles.
A NASA satellite called QuikSCAT has discovered highways of wind over the Earth's oceans. Scientists believe these invisible roads may explain why many nonflowering plants, such as mosses (苔) and lichens (地衣), grow where they do.
The satellite is able to send microwaves (微波) from space to the surface of the ocean. The pattern of signals that come back shows which way the winds are blowing.
Using this data, the scientists studied a group of islands in the southern hemisphere (半球), near Antarctica．Winds tend to blow anticlockwise (逆时针) in this region, but there are lots of local differences.
When the researchers compared these local patterns to botanical (植物学) data, they found that the wind had an important effect on where species of mosses, lichens, and other nonflowering plants grow.
For example, Bouvet Island and Heard Island, share 30 per cent of their moss species, 29 per cent of liverworts (叶苔), and 32 per cent of lichens — even though they are 4,430 kilometers apart. In contrast, Gough Island and Bouvet Island, separated by just 1,860 kilometers of sea, share only 16 per cent of mosses and 17 per cent of liverworts. They have no lichens in common.
Ferns (蕨类植物) and flowering plants don't travel as well in the wind, so they don't show the same kinds of distribution (分布) patterns.
72. This story is about _____.
A．the discovery of wind highways B．how wind travels
C．how wind affects different plants D． one function of the wind
73. The underlined word "data" in the fourth paragraph means _____.
A．signal B．pattern C．information D． research
74. Which of the following is wrong
A．Bouvet Island, Heard Island and Gough Island are all in the southern hemisphere.
B．Winds in the researched area blow anti-clockwise.
C．The scientists shouldn't base this research on how winds affect where ferns grow.
D． Without the discovery of QuikSCAT, the research wouldn't have made sense.
75. Which of the following diagrams shows the correct position of the islands
(A)
这是一篇新闻类短文。本文报道了“新版《牛津英国传记大词典》出版，5.5万名对英国有影响的人物入选其中”。
56. D 计算题。此次新版的词典总共60卷，全套7500英镑，平均每卷125英镑。
57. D细节题。根据首句“词典收录了将近5.5万名对英国社会有重大影响的人物”和短文中的“Women make up 10% of the entries”一句计算可知。
58. A 推断题。短文倒数第二段费伯先生说：“他们不仅是单纯的遇害者，他们也是有影响的人物。吉尔·当多被编入字典不仅仅是因为她的职业，也因为她的死成为公众关注的事件” 由此可推断吉尔·当多也是被谋杀致死。
59. B 主旨题。根据短文首句及全文所列举的人物，他们都是对英国有重大影响的人物。由此判断可知。
(B)
这是一篇文化类短文。短文记叙的是“联合国教科文组织将文艺气息浓厚，书香味十足的爱丁堡授为世界首座文学城市”。
60. B 推断题。根据短文第一段所表述的：文坛巨匠亚瑟·科南·道尔和罗伯特·伯恩斯和文学界的其他一些名人一样，他们两人都出生在爱丁堡，笔耕于爱丁堡。在这座城市里诞生了许许多多的作家，正因为这浓郁的书香，联合国教科文组织于10月14日把“世界首座文学之城”的荣誉授予了爱丁堡。
61. A 推理题。根据短文第二段中的意义：科南·道尔创作了福尔摩斯故事系列，其探案方法被描绘得非常奇妙，这让犯罪学研究也获益匪浅，得到了进一步的发展。由此推理他是以“侦探小说”而出名。
62. D 细节理解题。根据短文第三段中的“He is celebrated all over the world through translations of his work and the annual Burns Night supper on his birthday”一句可知：每年，人们在他的诞辰日举行“伯恩斯之夜”晚宴，以示纪念。
63. C 段意推测题。根据最后一段所表述的意义：苏格兰之所以产生这么多的文学巨匠有其历史渊源。短文中列举了三个细节，苏格兰议会于1496年通过了世界上第一个义务教育法案。到18世纪90年代的时候，几乎所有的苏格兰人都能识字了。许多去苏格兰游览的人发现，就连苏格兰的市井小民也在读着伯恩斯的诗以及其它一些书。
( C )
这是一篇生态类短文。文章介绍了五种比较典型的“已经灭绝的和濒临灭绝的动物”并探究其原因。
64. A 推测题。从文章中的“flightless, lived off fruit fallen from the trees, easily controlled”等这些词中可推测出Dodo鸟缺少保护自己的能力。
65. D 细节归纳题。根据文章第二段的“The population of Dodos rapidly decreased and last one was killed in 1681”一句可判断Dodo是灭绝的动物之一，再根据最后一段中的“The Bali, Javan, and Caspian tigers are already extinct”一句可得出其他几种。
66. C 细节理解题。文章的第三段和最后一段提到“犀牛角和虎骨及器官”有很高的药用价值。
67. D判断题。从第四段中的“The future of the World Wildlife Fund's symbol is far from certain.”一句可得出“世界野生动物基金”的图案标记是“大熊猫”，而不是“鲸”。
(D)
星际探索固然重要，可是怎样打发漫漫旅途呢？别急，人类“冬眠”技术让你一觉睡到目的地。
68. D 推断题。根据短文第三段内容可以推出人类“冬眠”技术已经取得了进展。
69. C 细节题。根据短文第四段的最后一句they would need less energy可知。
70. D 推断题。根据短文最后一段的第一句话中could一词的委婉语气可知。
71. A 主旨题。认真分析原文可知，本文自始至终介绍的是在星际探索中使用冬眠技术的研究情况，因此以Hibernation Study For Space Travel为题既具有高度的概括性、强烈的针对性，又具有一定的醒目性。
（E）
这是一篇有关植物学知识的短文。短文介绍的是“许多不开花的植物其实是通过海风把子女送往远方的”。
72. D 主旨题。从全文的意义上分析，本文讲述的是“海风的一种功能”。即：“许多不开花的植物通过海风移往远方”。
73. C 词意猜测题。根据上下文的意义，data指的是卫星发回的“信息”。
74. B 判断题。根据文中“Winds tend to blow anticlockwise in this region, but there are lots of local differences”一句可判断B项是错误的。
75. D 图形题。根据短文倒数第二段的文字表述及风向，可确定三个岛是以Bouvet Island作为参照物而相对于其他岛而言的。（B）图中三者在距离上与短文相符，但由于风向是逆时针，而Gough Island 是在Bouvet Island的左向，即是在风前进的方向，植物种子就能从B岛飞到G岛，从而形成这两地有更多的相同植物种类，这与短文意义不符。（D）图中三者在距离上与短文相符，从风向上判断，由于风向是逆时针，尽管Bouvet与Heard相距较远，但它是在风前进的方向，植物的种子还是能够从B岛飞入H岛。而Gough Island 是在Bouvet Island的右向，即背离了风前进的方向，尽管B岛与G岛相距较近，两地相同的植物种类不多，这与短文意义相符。可判断出图形D的正确的江苏省石庄高级中学06届高考二轮复习专项练习

Dear Editor,
I am a Senior Three student．Recently we have carried out a survey — “To whom do you go when in trouble ” The results are as follows．
Dear Editor,
I am a Senior Three student．Recently we have carried out a survey—“To whom do you go when in trouble ” The main findings are as follows．
61% of the students surveyed select friends or schoolmates as their ideal listeners when they have trouble and want to confide, the reason of which is that they are in the same age group and have a better understanding of each other．Another 22% choose teachers and parents to talk to．They suggest that teachers and parents are rich in life and educational experiences．Nevertheless, there are also 17% who don’t share their troubles at all．They say that their troubles are none of others’ business．Others find it hard to converse with others．
(It is not easy to reach definite conclusions based on such a small example．However, some general comments can be made．) It seems clear from the response that some students lack communication with others and teachers and parents need to play a more important role in their lives．
Yours sincerely,

提示词：作调查 make a survey
Dear editor,
I have recently made a survey among 30 boys and 30 girls in my class about their purpose of getting on the internet. The girls’ favorite is chatting, but few boys like it. What the boys like to do most is playing games and the girls also like it. Both boys and girls like to read news or send e-mails on the internet. Maybe they think it’s the most convenient way to get information from keeping in touch with friends. As for studying, the numbers of boys and girls are equal, but altogether only several of they will use internet as a tool to study.
In my opinion, useful as the Internet is, the students had better make better and wiser use of it. Otherwise, it’s impossible for us to benefit from it. Moreover, I also hope the parents will pay enough attention to their children using the Internet in their spare time.

Dreams are necessary in our life. We know that about 25% of our 36 time is spent dreaming. This is true for everyone, 37 you are the kind of person who ordinarily remembers your dreams or not. Often our dreams 38 us “the other side of the picture”, 39 us aware of things we have failed to take conscious (有意的) 40 of during the day. For instance, if you dream that your new boss, who seems gruff (语言粗暴的) and 41 during the working hours, is 42 at you and praising you for your work, perhaps you have subliminally（下意识） 43 up signals that day that his bark is 44 than his bite.
45 of us need our dreams, and the 46 we are, the more necessary they appear to be. Babies spend 47 half their sleep in the dreaming phase (状态).When adult subjects in an experiment were 48 drugs that eliminated (消除) their dreaming for several 49 , they became increasingly irritable (易怒的) and anxious, and 50 began having 51 concentrating. Too much dreaming 52 to have its drawbacks (缺点) 53 . If you doze late on Sunday mornings, you often wake up feeling 54 . The 55 is that the more you sleep, the longer your dreams become. (Dreaming periods are short during the first part of the night and lengthen as your sleep progresses.)

We need these pleasures to brighten up our lives. But that doesn’t amount to craziness 42 nonsense（胡闹）.

If we close our eyes, 47 in deep thought, we can find that the things 48 us to be in truth happy, sad or moved 49 a clear meaning. If we don’t go deeper and just satisfied with superficial（表面的）things, 50 we will find that we have not really gained anything 51 our first impression has blinded and misled us, and we’ll remain ignorant（愚昧无知的） 52 we realize that and make some changes.

work hard even at weekends did endless homework and 80.
attending classes as well. Now I have more free time. I can 81.
follow my own interest such as reading books, visiting 82.
museums, and taking computer lessons. ()n the evenings I 83.

Dear Editor,
I'm writing to tell you about the discussion we've had 76.
about whether a entrance fee should be charged for parks. 77.
Opinions are dividing on the question. 60% of the students 78.
are against with the idea of entrance fees. They believe a 79.
public park should free of charge. People need a place 80.
where they can rest and enjoy themselves there. Charging 81.
entrance fees will not doubt keep some people away. On the 82.
other hand, 400/00 thinks that fees should be charged because 83.
you need money to pay workers, and buy plants and young 84.
trees. They suggest, therefore, fees should be charged low. 85.
Yours truly,
Li Hua

江苏省石庄高级中学最新英语高考单项选择题题库答案与分析
33答案
21. BDCBB 26. CCCBB 31. BDCBC
21．make sure意为“确保”，“make sure that + 从句”，是固定结构。
22．Anything will do.的意思是“我喝什么都行”，而不是喝每一样，因此不能用everything。另外，要用do 代替前面的动作“drink”。
23．不用倒装，因为和前面提到的人是同一主语，前面的某个练习讲过了，自己查一下。
24．How do you like….. = What do you think of….. 是“询问看法”的固定句型，因此这里是问“你对经理的看法是什么”，而不是问“你怎样喜欢经理”，因此要选B。
25．lie to the east 40 miles of the city 的意思是“在城东40里的地方”，是固定表达法。
26．fun是一个不可数名词，名词要用such来修饰，so是用来修饰形容词或副词的。记得我们上学期还考过“What fun it is……!”和“It is great fun to……”。
27．promise to do意为“答应做某事”，did promise是强调谓语动词。
28．孩子们是“被期待去做…..”，因此要用被动语态，另外，hope的意思是“希望”，是一种比较真实和可能达到的愿望。而expect的意思是“期待, 盼望, 指望”，在意思上和hope还是有所区别的。
29．动词不定式的省略，要省略动词，但是不能省略to。
30．这里是考查时态，是“妈妈高兴地看到孩子每天的健康状况都在好转”，强调“每天都有变化”，所以用过去进行时。
31．请把答案改成B，并把on the earth该成on earth。on earth 意为“究竟”，是一个固定短语，例如：What on earth are you doing (你究竟在做什么？) Who on earth are you (你究竟是谁？)。下面的句子是一个强调句，在强调主语的时候，用who也可以。It was Lily that/who used it yesterday.
32．表示第二人的情况和第一个人相同时有三种情况：
1）肯定的情况（只是一种情况），例如： - I like dancing.
- So does my sister.
2）否定的情况（只是一种情况），例如：- I don’t like dancing.
- Neither/Nor does my sister.
3) 多种情况（不管肯定还是否定），例如：- I lived in America first. Then I moved to France. But I can’t
speak French.
- Oh, it’s the same with my brother.
这道题属于第三种情况。
33．it wasn’t quite long enough.的意思是“还不太够”，much too可以用来修饰词，但是too暗含否定之意，因此否定之否定就是肯定，所以不选。too much是用来修饰名词的，如：too much water。
34．It is demanded that…..是一个固定句型，就象我们学过的：It’s said that……；It’s requested……；It’s suggested that ……等等。demand后面的从句要用should do的虚拟，should可以省略。语法书129页。
35．定语从句，不会有问题吧！visit后面缺个宾语，所以要用which。
34答案
21. CCCBD 26. BBACC 31. BBBDA
21．考查have sth. done，这里have it said的意思是“让……被说”，it是形式主语，真正的主语是that I treated him unfairly。
22．意为“我刚才为什么没这么考虑？”
23．had laid这个动作发生在she found it这个动作之前。
24．make up意为“补足”，add up to意为“总计”，这句话的意思是“我们还需要100美元去补足我们需要的钱。”
25．Not particularly意为“不是特别”。其他三个选项都是所问非所答。
26．which was fairly frequent 是一个非限定性定语从句，指的前面那件事（Whenever I met him）,I oke her sweet and hopeful smile.是这句话的主句部分。
27．less/no + 形容词，是言其反面，所以，far less pleasant意思是说very unpleasant。
28．指家庭时，谓语动词用单数，如：His family is not very rich.。指家人时，要用单数，所以这里要用复述。另外，Weren’t your family at home 在考虑答语时，就相当于说“Were your family at home ”,这样，就好想了。
29．你感冒了，指的是现在的情况，这个动作对现在有影响，所以要用现在完成时。
30．had wanted指本来的计划、打算没能实现，看语法书107页圈3。fail to do是固定短语。
31．make oneself at home 和help oneself to sth.都应该是比较熟的短语。
32．spend的主语应是“人”。take的主语应是“事”，并且花费的是“时间”。cost的主语是sth.，另外，“多达”，是抽象概念，所以要用as much as。
33．I am sure是一个插入句，可以不看，只需要考虑定语从句是修饰哪个词的，这个定语从句是修饰those students，所以后面的物主代词要用their。比较：
Mary is one of those students who do their best.
Mary is the only one of those students who does her best.
34．You’d better这里表示的是“建议”，will you表示“征求意见”。
35．other plans的意思是“其他的计划”，注意another 后面一般不用复数名词，除非是加表示一段时间的，如：another ten days。
35答案
21. CCDCB 26. AADDA 31. CADDC
21．答案该为C，并在used前加has。这句话的意思是“计算机记不住谁用过它，它只是照着它被告之的那样去做”。
22．答案该为C。give up意为“放弃”，put away 意为“收拾（起这种想法）”。
23．答案是D，其实B选项也可以，用everything和anything没有什么大区别，只是说话的人侧重点不同。
24．答案该为C。tell的逻辑主语是the speaker，而the speaker 是被告之，因此要用过去分词。the speaker是人，指人的状态时要用excited。
25．two blocks指的是“两个街区”。
26．Would you = Will you，表示征求意见。
27．European不是元音因素开头，因此不需要用an，只能用a European scientist。space是不可数名词，非特指，不需要加定冠词。
28．答案要该为D。条件从句，主将从现。
29．这是强调句。
30．dress的用法是dress oneself，因此，dress 后面如果没有oneself，应用作被动。wear用做主动，可是后面必须加宾语。
31．which引导非限定性定语从句，指的是前面整句话的意思。
32．look good是系表结构，衣服穿在某人身上用on sb. ，固定用法。注意比较：a girl in red；a man in a black jacket。
33．paper 意为“纸张”时，不可数，paper 意为“论文、试卷”时，可数。
34．Don’t you believe me 就是Do you believe me ，按后面的句子回答，就容易了。
35．must/may/might/could/can’t/couldn’t + have done，这种结构表示对过去的事情进行猜测。这句话的意思是：你不可能是买对了号。
36答案
21.D。 动词时态的考查。当我去看他时，他正要去北京参加抗击非典，所以只跟他说了几句话。情景是他正要去。又因为come，leave，arrive等动词的进行时表将来时，故答案为D.
22. B。 本题是“特殊疑问词 + do you consider／suppose／think／believe．．．+ 陈述语序的句子其它成分”结构。根据第一句，可知强调了对现在的影响，故用现在完成时。学生易错选A、C。误选C是因为consider后应接动词ing形式，而忽略了句子的结构，即没有考虑到consider后面接的是宾语从句，从句的主语是what，缺少的是从句的谓语；选A是因为没有考虑到从句的时态应该用现在完成时。
23. B。 此题考查主语从句，其主语从句缺少主语，What在此等于the thing which，故选B项。
24. C。 remain作系动词用，本身不用于被动语态，有时与不定式的被动结构构成合成谓语，意为“尚待”。如：A number of problems remain to be solved.
25. D。 It’s reported 意为“据报道”，it为形式主语，后面的that从句才是真正的主语。如果要用选项A、B、C表示“据报道” 的话，那它们后面只能跟不定式。
26. C。 考核点是状语从句。从句子结构上判断，有划线的那一分句属于状语分句，从句子意义上判断，该分句应为地点状语，故而答案应为C。
27. A。 问句为否定疑疑问句，回答该用Yes或No开头，B项结构不完整，其完整形式应该是：No, I can hardly finish it.
28. B。 not与all连用为部分否定，表示“并非所有的……都……”；D项中every one与not连用也可表示部分否定，但谓语动词要用单数。
29. B。 next month是时间点，不是时间段，“after + 时间点”可用于将来时，表示某一特定时间之后。此处如果不用介词，则表示“下个月”；用了after，则表示“下个月以后”。until在肯定句中要与延续性动词连用。
30. B。 现在分词的完成被动式作原因状语，说明发生在谓语动词所表示的动作之前的被动动作。
31. A。 否定副词never放于句首，构成倒装句，时间状语应用陈述语序。
32. A。 needn't have done表示“做了不必要做的事情”。can't have done表示对过去情况的推测， 意为“不可能发生了某事”。mustn't have done 无此用法。shouldn't have done表示“本不应该做的事而做了”。
33. B。 第一空白处的that为关系代词，引导定语从句；第二空白处的that为强调结构连词。
34. C。 世贸大厦是由普通名词构成的专有名词，其前应使用定冠词。shock在这里意指“令人震惊的事”，为可数名词。
35. B。 quite后应接a few。advice为不可数名词，使用that替代。
37答案
21．D 考查交际用语。从空格后的答语知答话人也喜欢轻音乐，两人有共同的爱好，即都喜欢轻音乐，故选D项。
22．A 考查冠词。Sigmatel Inc是世界上最大的MP3控制芯片制造商，最高级形容词前应用the；后一空指将要于香港创立一个新研发中心，散用不定冠词a。
23．B 考查短语动词．A项为“传播，使理解”，B项为“遵守”；C项为“从事，拿起，占据”：D项为“组成，弥补，化妆”。结合题意知B项符合语境要求。
24．D 考查定语从句。which引导一个非限制性定语从句。原句出自China Daily。
25．A 考查名词区别及动词搭配。这里构成“draw a conclusion”短语。
26．A 考查非谓语动词。过去分词短语suspected of shooting 16 schoolchildren作the man的后置定语．
27．D 考查代词。原句出自关于中国将提高个人收入所得税起征额的一则新闻报道。用that指代前文出现的金额——800元。句意为:“中国于1994年起征个人收入所得税，当时仅有1％的人月收入超过800元，而今有60％左右的人月薪超过800元。”
28．C 考查名词性从句。以that引导的宾语从句，充当photographed的宾语。科学家近期首次发现野生大猩猩在进入水池之前先用一根木棒测量水的深度，科学家拍摄到了这些场面。
29．B 考查情态动词用法。这里表否定推测，故用can。
30．C 考查副词比较级。这里把张靓颖与其他超女比较，故用比较级，因前有否定词no，整个句子表达最高级含义。
31．B 考查动词时态。从“How terrible!”知忘记带钱包了，故用过去时态。
32．C 考查倒装句及时态。
33．B 考查副词短语．B项意为“除……外”，符合题意。
34．A 考查短语辨析动词。turn out这里作连系动词用，是不及物动词，故不用进行时态，也不能用被动语态。
35．D 考查动词辨析．distribute意为“分发、分配、分送”．

28.B. had wanted表示原本要做某事，从后句I’ll finish it today可知writing动作还没完成用进行时态was writing表示。

5. B第一个did做主语从句的谓语, 第二个did是主句谓语的强调形式。

21．这是一种特殊的there be 句型。There happened to be……意思是“碰巧……”。
22．这里是考查could和was/were able to的区别，was/were able to表示“过去成功地做了某事”。
23．Remember me to your family的意思是“代我向你的全家问好”。“祝你幸福”应当说“Wish you happy!”。
24．这是与过去事实相反的虚拟语气，主句用“would have done”，从句用“had done”（语法书P127）,
意为“如果我不是一直在工作的话，我就注意到了。”
25．grow out of 意为“（因逐渐长大而）戒掉某种坏习惯”。
26．这不是一个强调句，因为如果是强调句的话，我们应该说“It was at five o’clock that…….”，这样我们才能得到原来没有强调过的句子“They arrived…..at five o’clock in the afternoon.“。因此，这是一个时间状语从句。
27． 这句话的意思是“非常遗憾的是我们不能象别人看我们那样看我们自己”。（正所谓“旁观者清，当局者迷”。）
28． So rude was he = He was so rude， 是个倒装句，见语法书P272的第二和第三句话。
29． No wonder + 从句 = It’s no wonder that， 意思是“…….一点也不奇怪”， A选项是chinglish。
30．as far as +一个地点，意思是“远到……”。 as long as = so long as 意为“只要”； As far as I know = So far as I know 意为“据我所知”。
31．couldn’t/can’t have done用于对过去的事情进行否定的推测，而wouldn’t have done是与过去事实相反的虚拟语气。这句话的意思是“Bob不可能用了功，否则他就不会通不过这次考试了。”
32．这是一个带有定语从句的句子，我们可以这样来看：Is this the watch You wish to have it repaired.”，我们将这两句话变成一句后“Is this the watch (that) you wish to have repaired ”。
33．Where I live是地点状语从句，意思是“在我住地地方…….”, 后面是一个there be 句型。
34． 少了一条答语的横线，请加上！ nothing better 是I like nothing better than the food cooked by her的省略句，还可以看一下本套练习二的第七句话，有异曲同工之妙。

BEJING’S markets will soon be flooded with more and cheaper colourful fruit such as orange mangos（芒果）and green durian（榴莲）all the year round.
Thanks to a new free trade agreement signed last Monday between China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations ( ASEAN ) , more and more tropical Southeast Asian fruit will enter the country.
The agreement means that from July 1, 2005, China and ASEAN countries will begin to cut tariffs. There are about 7,000 products included in the cuts.
As global communication develops, countries are trading more and more goods with each other. When products are sold across national boundaries（边界）, countries put a tax on them. This type of tax is called a tariff.
Just like removing an obstacle from the path of these goods, the reduction of tariffs will encourage trade between China and ASEAN countries. It means more products and lower prices.
The agreement will bring real benefits for Chinese customers, said a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman. “In the Beijing markets you will easily find more tropical fruit like durian, which used to be very, very expensive. Now they will be cheaper.” The current ( existing now ) tariff rate on durian is 22 per cent but will fall to zero in 2005.
In the first 10 months of this year China did US $ 84.6 billion of trade with ASEAN countries. Experts believe this may reach US $ 100 billion next year.
Founded in 1967, ASEAN now includes Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand, Brunei, Viet Nam, Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos.
56．A tariff is a tax a government charges on goods .
A．which are sold in the markets
B．when consumers buy them
C．that enter or leave their country
D．that are imported
57．Which of the following statements doesn’t agree with the passage
A．it will result in an increase in trade between China and ASEAN countries.
B．it might cause the prices of ASEAN products to fall.
C．it may greatly benefit the Chinese customers.
D．Producers of ASEAN countries will profit less from sales.
58．We can infer from the passage that .
A．China imports a large quantity of fruit every year.
B．tariffs are an important factor in foreign trade.
C．tropical countries have cheaper fruit.
D．China prefers to trade with ASEAN countries.
59．The best title for this passage is .
A．Tariff Cut Promotes Trade B．Best Ways To Sell Fruits
C．Tropical Fruit To China D．China Joins ASEAS

The Norwegian Government is doing its best to keep the oil industry under control. A new law limits exploration to an area south of the southern end of the long coastline; production limits have been laid down ( though these have already been raised ) ; and oil companies have not been allowed to employ more than a limited number of foreign workers. But the oil industry has a way of getting over such problems, and few people believe that the Government will be able to hold things back for long. As a Norwegian politician said last week: “We will soon be changed beyond all recognition.”
Ever since the war, the Government has been carrying out a programme of development in the area north of the Arctic Circle（北极圈）. During the past few years this programme has had a great deal of success: a university, a large hospital and a healthy industry have been set up in a local capital. But the oil industry has already started to draw people south, and within a few years the whole northern policy could be in ruins.
The effects of the oil industry would not be limited to the north, however. With nearly 100 percent employment, everyone can see a situation developing in which the service industries and the tourist industry will lose more of their workers to the oil industry. Some smaller industries might even disappear altogether when it becomes cheaper to buy goods from abroad.
The real argument over oil is its threat to the Norwegian way of life. Farmers and fishermen do not make up most of the population, but they are an important part of it, because Norwegians see in them many of the qualities that they regard with pride as essentially（本质上）Norwegian. And it is the farmers and the fishermen who are most critical of the oil industry because of the damage that it might cause to the countryside and to the sea.
60．The Norwegian Government would prefer the oil industry to .
A．provide more jobs for foreign workers
B．slow down the rate of its development
C．sell the oil it is producing abroad
D．develop more quickly than at present
61．The Norwegian Gowvernment has tried to .
A．encourage the oil companies to discover new oil sources
B．prevent oil companies employing people from northern Norway
C．help the oil companies solve many of their problems
D．keep the oil industry to something near its present size
62．According to the passage, the oil industry might lead northern Norway to .
A．the development of industry
B．a growth in population
C．the failure of the development programme
D．the development of new towns
63．Norwegian farmers and fishermen have an important influence because .
A．they take a critical attitude towards the oil industry
B．their lives and values represent the Norwegian ideal
C．their work is so useful to the rest of Norwegian society
D．they regard oil as a threat to the Norwegian way of life
C
Yes, but what did we use to do before there was television How often we hear statements like this! Television hasn’t been with us all that long, but we are already beginning to forget what the world was like without it. Before we admitted the one – eyed monster into our homes, we never found it difficult to occupy our spare time. We used to enjoy civilized pleasures. For instance, we used to have hobbies, we used to entertain our friends and be entertained by them, and we used to go outside for our amusements to theatres, cinemas, restaurants and sporting events. We even used to read books and listen to music and broadcast talks occasionally. All that belongs to the past. Now all our free time belongs to the goggle box. We rush home or gulp down our meals to be in time for this or that programme. We have even given up sitting at table and having a leisurely evening meal, exchanging the news of the day. A sandwich and a glass of beer will do – anything, providing it doesn’t interfere with the programme. If any member of the family dares to open his mouth during a programme, he is quickly silenced.
Whole generations are growing up addicted to the telly ( television ) . Food is left uneaten, homework undone and sleep is lost. It is now standard practice for mother to keep the children quiet by putting them in the living – room and turning on the set. It doesn’t matter that the children will watch rubbishy commercials or some other things like violence – so long as they are quiet.
There is a limit to the amount of creative talent available in the world. Every day, television consumes vast quantities of creative work. That is why most of the programmes are so bad: it is impossible to keep pace with the demand and maintain high standards as well.
Television encourages passive enjoyment. We become content with second – hand experiences. It is so easy to sit in our armchairs watching others working. Little by little, television cuts us off from the real world. We get so lazy, we choose to spend a fine day in semi – darkness, glued to our sets, rather than go out into the world itself. Television may be a splendid medium of communication, but it prevents us from communicating with each other. We only become aware how totally irrelevant television is to real living when we spend a holiday by the sea or in the mountains, far away from civilization. In quiet, natural surroundings, we quickly discover how little we miss the hypnotic tyranny（催眠的暴君）of King Telly.
64．What is the biggest harm of TV
A．It cuts people off from the real world.
B．TV occupies a large part of one’s life.
C．People become lazy.
D．People become dependent on second – hand experiences.
65．In what way can people forget TV
A．Far away from civilization. B．To a mountain.
C．By the sea. D．In quiet, natural surroundings.
66．What does a mother usually do to keep her children quiet
A．Let them watch TV. B．Put them in the living room.
C．Let them watch the rubbish. D．Leave them alone.
67．What does the writer’s attitude towards television
A．Negative. B．Positive. C．Neutral. D．We don’t know.

I had never seen sand dunes（沙丘）before, not proper ones. If you go to the seaside in Britain, you may see some small hills of sand, but nothing very impressive. Of course, Africa is home to many beautiful “sandscapes”, but I was in China – so I went to Dunhuang.
I spent my first day looking at the beautiful Mogao caves. Now I wanted to experience something very different.
I have been walking in Asia, Europe and America, but nothing prepared me for walking over hills of sand. Whenever I took a step up a hill, my feet would sink into the sand and move backwards. Sometimes it seemed like I was moving in the wrong direction.
I wanted to see the sunset so I had to climb to the top of the highest sand dune. The sun was beating down upon my back as I walked slowly over the sand. Some plants had managed to survive in the dry ground but not many.
As I climbed higher, the hills of sand became steeper and my feet started to slip further backwards. I ended up with my hands and knees, crawling upwards through the top – if I just let go I would fall the way down to the bottom. But I refused to give up: inch by inch, I made my way to the top of the sand dune.
When I got there I was amazed by what I saw. The sand formed a very sharp point, just like a knife – edge. One side of the dune was bathed in sunshine, the other covered by shade. As I looked into the distance, the same pattern was repeated on all of the hilltops, and the difference between dark and light was beautiful.
As the sun began to sink, the shadows grew longer and the light became warm and orange. The wind had come to life and sand was blown against my legs as I walked along the dunes. Soon it was getting dark and I could only just make out the line of footprints that marked my journey to the top of the hill. I slowly made my way down to the bottom, my path lit by the dying sun.

Sometime in the next century, the familiar early – newspaper on the front porch（门廊）will disappear. And instead of reading your newspaper, it will read to you. You’ll get up and turn on the computer newspaper just like switching on the TV. An electronic voice will distribute stories about the latest events, guided by a program that selects the type of news you want, You’ll even get to choose the kind of voice you want to hear. Want more information on the brief story A simple touch makes the entire text appear. Save it in your own personal computer if you like. These are among the predictions from communication experts working on the newspaper of the future. Pictured as part of broader home based on media and entertainment systems, computer newspapers would unite print and broadcast reporting, offering news and analysis with video images of news events.
Most of the technology is available now, but convincing（说服）more people that they don’t need paper to read a newspaper is the next step. Besides, resistance to computer newspaper may be stronger from within journalism. Since it is such a cultural change, it may be that the present generation of journalists and publishers will have to die off before the next generation realize that the newspaper industry is no longer a newspaper industry. Technology is making the end of traditional newspaper unavoidable.
Despite technogical advances, it could take decades to replace newsprint with computer screens. It might take 30 to 40 years to complete the changeover because people need to buy computers and because newspapers have established financial（财经的）interests in the paper industry.
72．The best title passage is .
A．Computer Newspapers Are Well Liked

"It hurts me more than you", and "This is for your own good." These are the statements my mother used to make years ago when I had to learn Latin, clean my room, stay home and do homework.
That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decided it was all right not to push our children to achieve their best in school. The schools and the educators made it easy on us. They thought that it was all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators(计算器), turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.
Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing we've made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who says of her students -- "so passive" -- and wonders what happened. Nothing was demanded of them, she believes. Television, says Klompus, leads to children's passivity. "We're not training kids to work any more," says Klompus. "We're talking about a generation of kids who’ve never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them. Instead of saying 'go look it up', you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to a kid. "
Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It's time for parents to end their vacation and come back to work. It's time to take the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it's for their own good. It's time to start telling them “No” again.
56. Children are becoming more inactive in study because _______.
A. they watch TV too often
B. they have done too much homework
C. they have to do too many duties
D. teachers are too strict with them
57. To such children as described in the passage _______.
A. it is easier to say no than to say yes
B. neither is easy to say yes nor to say no
C. it is easier to say yes than to say no
D. neither is difficult to say yes nor to say no
58. By the underlined words "permissive period in education" the author means a time _______.
A. when children are allowed to do what they wish to
B. when everything can be taught at school
C. when every child can be educated
D. when children are permitted to receive education
59. The main idea of the passage is that _______.
A. parents should leave their children alone
B. kids should have more activities at school

D. parents should always set a good example to their kids
B
As we grow up, we gradually develop a set of our own values or beliefs. These are influenced by society, our family, the education we receive and so on. Once this value system is set up, it's not easy to change later in life. Financial experts say that every one also has their own belief of how to manage their money. According to our different values, experts put us in three categories. They are: the ant, the cricket and the snail.
The ant — works first
Just like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter, these people don't care about enjoying the moment. They work very hard and save money they earn so that they can enjoy life when they get old and retire. The ant loves to save but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest in some funds and stocks(股票) with low risk.
The cricket — fun first
The cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn't think too much about the future. They even borrow money when they really want something. Many young people now belong to this group. These people have little savings. When they get old, they might have problems. They should learn to save and buy insurance(保险).
The snail — lives under pressure
The snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves. They take big long-term loans(贷款) from the bank in order to buy things such as luxury houses. They are happy to take big loans even though they are not sure they can afford it. This can cause problems in the future. They should plan more carefully.
60. One’s values may__________.
A. be his ways of managing money
B. be his beliefs about society
C. determine his family and education
D. influence his behavior

D. it’s hard to tell which kind of person Mr. Smith is
62. The writer of the passage seems to be in favor of _______.

63. According to the passage, the most suitable title would be ______.
A. Spending Nature
B. What Comes First
C. How to Understand Your Values
D. Work and Fun

Beijing ---- A recent Chinese blockbuster (轰动的作品) “A World Without Thieves” is based on the experiences of a young migrant worker (民工)carrying 60,000 yuan on a train packed with thieves. But while the image of a warm-hearted but somewhat naive migrant worker may have made film fans chuckle, it’s a sure bet that most of China’s migrant workers are yet to step into a cinema to admire it.
“Forty yuan a ticket I can’t afford it,” said Shen Jie, a migrant worker at a construction site in Dongzhimen, east Beijing.
Shen found it hard to remember when he last watched a film, or what it was about. “It must be 10 years ago,” he said.
Though they are the builders of the nation’s theaters and cinemas, a limited cultural life is common among China’s 120 million migrant workers.
Shen arrived from East China’s Zhejiang Province in1991. Life was better then; money seemed to come more easily. “Now, as more and more workers are rushing to the capital, it’s too hard to earn money, and none of us dare think about watching films,” he said.
For many like Shen, the dream is earning enough to pay for their children’s education so they can find jobs in the cities and say goodbye to the hardships of rural life forever. This drives them to work hard and save as much as possible.
With a monthly salary of less than 500 yuan, Shen has to send money home to his little son and silver-haired parents.
In Shen’s small dormitory, which he shares with seven other co-workers, there is a well-thumbed copy of a magazine published in 1998.
A recent survey by local media revealed that 80 percent of migrant workers spent their spare time sleeping and chatting because of exhaust and a lack of income. The same survey found that 47 percent of migrant workers have to work for more than 10 hours a day. Around 40 percent do not even possess a book, and nearly 60 percent say they are dissatisfied with their cultural life.
Like many of Shen’s co-workers, reading newspapers and hanging out in Beijing’s streets provide evening entertainment.

Researchers in the United States say dust clouds from dry African deserts may be a threat to the environment and human health. They say the dust may contain many small organisms(有机物) that could be dangerous to some people.
Each year, huge dust storms form in the Sahara and Sahel deserts of northern Africa. Winds carry the dust across the Atlantic Ocean. The movement of dust across the Atlantic Ocean has been increasing in recent years because of longer periods without rain in Africa.
From February to April, the dust settles in South America. From June to October, the winds change and transport the dust to North America, Central America and the Caribbean(加勒比海地区). The dust clouds travel several thousand meters above sea level. It takes five to seven days for the dust to cross the Atlantic Ocean.
Researchers have long known that the dust clouds could travel long distances. But they thought few microorganisms could survive the trip because of damaging ultraviolet radiation(紫外线) from the sun. Researchers now believe that the dust clouds block enough of the light to protect viruses, bacteria, and fungi in the dust.
Researchers say these microorganisms may be a health risk to some people. About half the bacteria and fungi that survive the trip from Africa are known to cause disease in people or plants.
More than half of the dust that reaches the United States settles in the state of Florida. For many years, it has caused the skies there to turn red. Now researchers say there may be a link between the dust storms and increased health risks in Florida. They believe the dust causes higher rates of asthma, allergies, and other breathing problems in people there. The dust also has been linked to a large increase in lung problems in at least one Caribbean nation.
72. Which statement about African dust storms is TRUE
A. They form in the north of Africa and move eastwards.
B. They form in the north of Africa and move westwards.
C. They settle in South Africa from February to April.
D. It takes over a week for them to cross the Atlantic Ocean.
73. The worst thing about African dust storm is ______.
A. the heat they give off B. the distance they cover
C. the microorganisms they contain D. the time they last
74. What does the underlined word “survive” mean
A. continue to live after B. be able to finish
C. miss the chance of D. give up
75. The best title for this passage is ______.

Most people agree that the direct, assertive(过分自信的) American personality is a virtue, but it sometimes surprises foreigners. In many cultures, respect for older people or those in positions of authority keeps others from expressing their true feelings. But in the U.S, children often argue with their parents, students may disagree with their teachers, and citizens may express opposition to the actions of the government. If the soup has a fly in it or the meat is too tough to chew, the diner can complain to the waiter, if the boss makes a mistake, an employee will politely point it out.
Some straight talk about the American character must include the admission that Americans have their faults. The extremely competitive nature of Americans is probably their worst fault. Of course, competition isn’t always bad. As a matter of fact, it promotes excellence by encouraging individuals and businesses to try to do their best. But the desire to get ahead of others sometimes causes people to do things that are unkind and even dishonest. Also, Americans admire what is practical, fast, efficient, and fresh. Sometimes they fail to understand and appreciate practices that have greater respect for more traditional, leisurely ways of doing things. On the other hand, people from other cultures may dislike the practical, challenging American lifestyle.
Despite culture differences, most foreigners give Americans credit for their virtues. Americans are generally viewed as friendly, adaptable, energetic, and kindhearted. Most newcomers to the U.S. like Americans, and the feeling is usually mutual. Perhaps the greatest American virtue is a deep interest in new ideas and new people. In a nation of immigrants, the foreigner does not remain an outsider for long.
56.In order to show the respect for older people,. .
A.people from some other cultures will always express their true feeling
B.people from some other cultures may sometimes hide their true feeling
C.Americans always show their true feelings
D.Americans usually argue with them
57.Why is the extremely competitive nature considered as one of American faults
A.Because people from other cultures fear competition.
B.Because only American people own it.
C.Because it will make people forget leisure.
D.Because it may sometimes urge people to do something bad.
58.It can be inferred from the passage that . .
A.American people are more critical of everything than people from other cultures
B.the author believes that American character has more faults than virtues
C.the author admires American virtues as they are viewed as competitive and anti traditional
D.it is difficult for newcomers to get on with Americans
59.The passage mainly talks about . .

The United States is trying to improve an edueation system that produces millions of citizens who cannot read, write, or add—let alone finding their country on a map.
In his first State of Union message since taking office a year ago, President George Bush promised to wipe out illiteracy(文盲) in the next decade and declared that“by the year 2008, U.S students must be first in the world in math and science achievements. ” They have a long way to go. American students were placed 14th in a recent general science test conducted in 16 countries. In a separate survey of chemistry students, the United States came 12 out of 14. In a mathematics test, they were last. According to Bush, there are 17 million illiterates in this country of 245 million people. Other estimates put the number as high as 23 million. In percentage terms, that ranks the United States alongside Niearague and below Cuba. “This nation,”Bush said in his State of the Union address, “will not accept anything but excellent in education.” Bush, who has declared himself “Education president”, and senior officals of his administration are warning that the United States will be unable to compete in the world without an educated workforce.
How to increase educational standards is a matter of debate in a country whose schools have no uniform national curriculum and are subject to a confusing variety of state and local controls. Most experts think that the problem lies at the elementary and high school'levels rather than with universities-but even their graduates show huge gaps in general knowledge. Among the root causes most frequently mentioned in education debates is the low respect in which U.S. society holds teachers-in contrast to Japan and Germany. In Japan teaching is a profession of high prestige(威望) and high pay. In the United States teachers are near the bottom of the society.
60.By“the United States came 12 out of 14”(Para. 2), the author means .
A.the United States ranked 12th not 14th in the chemistry test
B.the United States ranked 12th in the chemistry test conducted by 14 countries
C.the United States progressed from 14th to 12th in the chemistry test
D.the United States ranked 12th in chemistry test and 14th in general science test
61.The cause of low educational level in America include the following EXCEPT that .
A.some problems exist in primary and secondary education
B.society keeps teachers in low respect
C.America pays more attention to economy instead of education
D.America has no uniform national courses
62.Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage
A.President Bush carried out his promise made in his first State of Union message.
B.The education in Japan and Germany is in higher level.
C.According to Bush, the number of illiterates accounts for 9% of the total.
D.Teachers in the United States enjoy good treatment and great respect.

Never in the history of Sierra Leone’s elections have women so actively engaged in politics or competed for parliamentary seats. In the past, women did the dancing and cooking for elections campaigning. In the May 14th elections, we saw over 168 women candidates competitive for President, Vice President and Parliamentary seats.
One would think that about 60% of these women would have emerged as winners. But it was not so, because of our cultural perception of women. We need to change our culture. Women could be active politicians. The Christians in their own way encouraged women to be preachers(传教士) but the Muslim leaders say women should not head for officiating(主持) prayers.
The same happens in certain parts of the country where women are not part of decision taken in male secret societies. This prevents them from achieving some of their goals. A senior head in one of the ministries told me that she was getting problems with some of her staff members especially the male staff. Most women that come from the Northern part of country experience such problems. Some men are saying that a woman cannot be their leader.
Some women are also prejudiced against their women folks. In the last elections, most woman did not support their colleagues. In some parts of the country, because they are not members of secret societies they were not allowed to contest for chieftaincies (酋长或首领的位置). However, Sierra Leones not withstanding the cultural prejudice against women has witnessed women occupying high public offices. They have been appointed to head certain areas.
Sierra Leone is moving from its past culture. We need a change in our culture. Women all over the world are recognized one way or the other as they are now involved in the use of technology. We now see women as air pilots, and they even attempt to go to travel in space.
64.In the past, women in Sierra Leone . .
A.took active part in politics B.contested for parliamentary seats
C.danced and cooked for the election campaigning D.shared the equal rights with men
65.About 60% of the women engaged in election would have succeeded if . .
A.there were less prejudice against women B.less Muslim leaders had objected
C.more women had been engaged in the election D.more preachers had supported them
66.The author concludes that the women candidates can’t win the competitive vote because .
A.women is more suitable for the dancing and cooking job
B.women candidates can’t get the support of their folks
C.women prejudice still exists in today’s society
D.women are not capable enough to be a chieftain
67.The main idea of the passage is .
A.the prejudice against women in various fields
B.women in Sierra Leone, striving for their political rights
C.women in Sierra Leone, challenge for men’s status
D.women in Sierra Leone, being involved in politics

Every day 25 million U.S. children ride school buses. The safety record for these buses is much better than for passenger cars; but nevertheless, about 10 children are killed each year riding on large school buses, and nearly four times that number are killed outside buses in the loading zones. By and large, however, the nation’s school children are transported to and from school safety.
Even though the number of school bus accidents is not large, the safety of children is always of intense public concern. While everyone wants to see children transported safely, people are divided about what needs to be done-particularly whether seat belts should be compulsory.
People in favour of seat belts on school buses-many of them parents and medical organizations-argue that seat belts are necessary not only to reduce fatality and injury, but also to teach children lessons about the importance of using them routinely in any moving vehicle. A side benefit, they point out, is that seat belts help keep children in their seats, away from the bus driver.
People who object to seat belt installation suggest that children are already well protected by the school buses that follow the Nation Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA) safety requirements set in 1977. They also believe that many children won’t wear seat belts anyway, and that may damage the belts or use them as weapons to hurt other children.
A new Research council report on school bus safety suggest that there are alternate safety devices and procedures that may be more effective and less expensive. For example, the study committee suggested that raising seat backs four inches may have the same safety effectiveness as seat belts.
The report sponsored by the Department of transportation at the request of Congress, re
views seat belts extensively while taking a broader look at safety in and around school buses.
68.According to the passage, the “school bus” is .
A.the bus offered by the school and different from the public bus
B.the bus that has no difference from the public bus
C.the bus that is driven by the students
D.the bus that is not safe
69.According to the passage, who has the greatest degree of control of the school buses “safety”
A.A new Research Council. B.The Department of Transportation.
C.The Medical Organization. D.National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
70.It may be inferred from this passage that . .
A.many of the opponents(反对者) of seat belt installation are parents and officials of the Department of Transportation
B.proposals of seat belts on school buses would be seriously considered
C.an alternate safety device (raising seat backs four inches) may be taken into consideration
D.The Department of Transportation may either take the idea of seat belts or other measures when it reviews the whole situation
71.The title below which best expresses the idea of the passage is“”.
A.Making School Buses Even Safer for Children B.Seat Belts Needed on School Buses
C.Alternate Safety Devices and Procedures D.Safety in and around School Buses

While drunken driving may be on the decline, traffic safety experts remain puzzled over how to deal with another alcohol?related danger: drunken pedestrains.
Pedestrians struck and killed by cars often are extremely drunk. In fact, they are intoxicated more frequently-and with higher blood?alcohol levels-than drunken drivers who are killed in accidents, various studies have shown. Forty percent of adult pedestrians involved in fatal crashes have a blood?alcohol level of at least 0.10-which by law in most states signifies intoxication-compared to only 25 percent of drivers in deadly accidents, according to recent federal data.
Some types of pedestrain accidents have been declining nationally, especially those involving children, but the number of adult pedestrians who are drunk when killed in traffic has remained relatively steady at 2500 a year. The total number of pedestrians killed annually in U.S. traffic accidents is at least 7000, or one of every seven highway accidents resulting in death.
“We’re dealing here, we think, with a very severe drinking problem that leads to a severe highway safety problem,” said Richard Blomberg, president of Dunlap and Associates Inc, in Norwalk, Coon.
Blomberg, whose consulting company found a very high rate of alcohol involvement in a controlled study of pedestrian accidents in New Orleans, was among several researchers who spoke on the topic at the annual meeting of the Research council’s Transportation Research Board(TRB) in Washington in January.
Pedestrian accidents have not received enough attention in the past, according to Kay Colpitts, who chairs the board’s committee on pedestrians. Few methods exist to monitor walking habits, she said, and researchers have been mystified about how to prevent disasters.
72.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage
A.Traffic Safety. B.Drunken Drivers.
C.Drunken Pedestrian Accidents. D.A Severe Highway Safety problem.
73.Among the causes of walkers’ accidents, the most serious problem is .
A.long delays in traffic signals that may make people cross streets without paying attention to traffic rules
B.alcohol
C.a lack of adult keeping eyes on many children involved in accidents
D.former drunken drivers whose licenses are not allowed to use for a time
74.According to recent federal data, drunken drivers with an over 0.10 blood?alcohol level in deadly accidents .
A.are 15 percent less than drunken adult walkers with the same level
B.are 2500 a year
C.are at least 7000 in US traffic accidents
D.make up one?seventh of highway accidents
75.According to the passage, what is Blomberg
A.A researcher. B.A specialist in traffic safety.
C.A clerk of a consulting company. D.A government official
56.B 文章首段第二句提到“In many cultures respect for older people or those in postions of authority keeps others from expressing their true feelings”.由此可知：出于对长者尊敬，许多国家的人们往往不会表达自己的真实感受，故选项B正确.
57.D 文章第二段第五句话指出“But the desire to get ahead of others sometimes causes people... unkind and even dishonest”,也就是说，极端的竞争性有时会使人误入歧途，由此可知D正确答案。
58.A 文章首段中几个例子论证了美国人直率的性格，从中我们不难推断出，美国人比其他外国人更善于批判，故A为正确答案。本文论述了美国人性格的三个方面，其中坦率和对新事物的兴趣是作者赞赏的，都被视为virtue,故排除B，第三段第二句话指出“Americans are generally viewed as friendly, adaptable, energetic, and kinkhearted”,由此可排除C；根据最后一段内容可推断出，美国人并不难相处，所以选项D也不对。
59.B 本文主要阐述了美国人的性格，作者在第二段第二句中提到“The extremely competitive nature... their worst fault”,以及第二段倒数第二句也提到“Sometimes they fail to understand and appreciate practices...”,由此可知文章并非全在说美国人的优点，故可排除A；文章虽在第二段两处提到美国人的缺点，但不是主要内容，故C也可排除；选项D显然不对.
60.B 此处“12 out of 14”是指“在多少里面排名第几，占第几位”，所以在此处意思应为:在14个国家的学生进行的化学测试中，美国学生的成绩排第12位，由此可知B为正确答案。
61.C 文章第三段提到“whose schools have no uniform national curriculum”，“the problem lies at the elementary and high school levels...”以及“Among the root causes most frequently mentioned... the low respect in which U.S. society holds teachers”。由此可知A、B和D三项均是教育水平低的原因，选项C未在文中提及，故为正确答案。
62.B 第二段开头指出，布什总统曾许诺要在接下来的十年里消除文盲，文章后面指出“According to Bush，there are l7 million illiterates in this country of 245million people...They have a long way to go”，由此可知，布什并没有实现诺言，故选项A不对，根据布什的统计，文盲比例应为17／245约为7％，而不是9％，故排除C，根据文章最后一句话可知：在美国，老师的地位几乎在最底层，由此可排除D;根据文章最后一段倒数第三句可推断出B为正确答案。
63.A 题目要求按文盲比率由低到高的顺序排列。根据文章倒数第三句话可知：在德国，教师地位比较高，由此可推断出其教育水平高，文盲也较少，以及第二段中间部分的“in percentage terms，that rank the United States alongside Nicaragua and below Cuba.”，也就是说，美国和尼加拉瓜并列，位于古巴之后，由此可判断出：德国的文盲率最低，其次是古巴，然后是尼加拉瓜，故A为正确选项。
64.C 根据文章首段第二句“In the past，women did the dancing and cooking for elections campaigning可知，选项C与文意相符，故为正确答案。
65.A 根据文章第二段前两句可知:由于我们对女性的文化偏见，女性中大多数的人会脱颖而出是不可能的。第三段首句指出，女性无法成为男性社会中作决定的部分。以及第四段首句提到的女性对同性也存有偏见。由上述内容可推断出，如果对女性少一些偏见，那么就会有许多女性在选举中获得成功，故A为正确答案。穆斯林领导者也存在对女性的反对意见，但与本题题意不符，故可排除;C和D均未在文中提到。
66.C 作者在第二段中指出作者不看好女性竞选者，在第三、四段中说明性别歧视的各个方面，而最后一段中作者指出we need a change in culture。综上，不难推出本题的答案为C。A是人们过去对女性的看法，B只是文中提到一个方面，以偏慨全，D显然与文意相悖。
67.D 通读全文可知，本文主要讲的是有关女性从政的，由此可知D为最佳选项。文中主要讲了女性在政治方面受到的歧视，并没有涉及各个领域，故排除A、B和C。
68.A
69.D 此题是问谁最有权控制学校班车的安全。文章第四段讲道:National Highway Traffic Safety Administration在1977年制定的安全措施很好地保护了校车中孩子们的安全。据此可以推知，该机构有权就校车安全问题制定相关规定，它是最有权威的，所以答案应该是D。A属非官方，B指交通部，但文中只指出它能“review”，并未指出或暗示它能“控制”；C不属于交通方面，故不对。
70.B 文章最后一段讲到，在国会的要求下，交通部发起的这份调查报告要求详尽地考察座位安全带问题，同时要广泛调查校车：内部以及周围的安全环境。因此选择B。但是文章并未说明交通部要采取什么措施，所以D不确切。第三段说，家长是使用安全带的支持者，所以A不对。第五段只指出有一种替代方法，但并未指出它会被考虑执行。所以C不对。
71.A 通篇文章讲的是学生乘坐校车的安全问题。许多人赞成并要求采取更安全的措施。所以答案应该选A。C较具干扰性，它虽然也涉及到bus safety，但不是作者所要表达的最直接的愿望，而且文章也并未就具体的措施做出定夺。B太片面，因为文章不只讨论了安全带问题。D的说法太泛太空，不具体。
72.C 本文主题是讲解醉酒行人出交通事故的问题，所以答案为C。A为交通安全，虽然文章有所涉及，但涉及面太广；B为喝醉的司机，文章虽提到．但是并非文章讲述对象；D为严重的公路安全问题，也犯了涉及面大广的错误。
73.B 见文章第二段第一句:Pedestrians struck and killed by cars often are extremely drunken. 说明醉酒是主要原因,故答案为B。
74.A 第二段中第三句提到在致命车祸中成年行人喝醉的占40%，而司机酒醉的只有25%，40%-25%=15%。与A的意思一致。
75.A 此题可从文中第五段找到答案。每年1月，调查委员会在华盛顿召开交通研究会议，Blombery是在会上发言的研究人员之一。他的咨询公司在新奥尔良地区行人事故的对比研究中发现，酒精肇事在行人交通事故中的比率非常高。所以Blomberg是一位研究人员。江苏省石庄高级中学06届完形填空专项练习（一）
