My husband hasn’t stopped laughing about the thing that happened to me. It’s 36 now but it wasn’t at that time.
Last Friday, after doing all the family shopping in town, I 37 a rest before catching the train, so I bought a 38 and some chocolate and went to the station coffee shop that was a cheap, self-service place with long 39 to sit at. I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table to40 a place, and went to get a cup of coffee.
When I came back with the coffee, there was someone in the 41 seat. It was one of those 42 young man, with dark glasses and torn clothes, and hair colored bright 43 at the front, not so unusual these days. What did 44 me was he’d started to eat my chocolate!
Naturally, I was annoyed. However, to avoid trouble—then really I was rather uneasy about him—I just 45 down at the front page of the newspaper, tasted my coffee, and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me 46 . Then he took another piece of my chocolate. I could hardly 47 it. Still I didn’t want to start an argument. When he took a 48 piece, I felt more 49 than annoyed. I thought, “Well, I shall have the last piece.” And I 50 it.
The boy gave me a 51 look, and then stood up. As he left he shouted out, “This woman’s mad!” Everyone 52 . That really made me feel silly, but it was 53 when I finished my coffee and got ready to leave. My face went red—as red as his hair when I 54 I’d made a mistake. It wasn’t my chocolate he’d been taking. There was mine, 55 , just under my newspaper.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
A
A higher reading rate, with no loss of comprehension, will help you in other subjects as well as in English, and the general principles apply to any language. Naturally, you will not read every book at the same speed. You would expect to read a newspaper, for example, much more rapidly than a physics or economics textbook—but you can raise your average reading speed over the whole range of materials you wish to cover so that the percentage gained will be the same whatever kind of reading you are concerned with.
The reading passages which follow are all of an average level of difficulty for your stage of instruction. They are all about five hundred words long. They are about topics of general interest which do not require a great deal of specialized knowledge. Thus they fall between the kind of reading you might find in your textbooks and the much less demanding kind you will find in a newspaper or light novel. If you read this kind of English, with understanding at four hundred words per minute, you might skim through a newspaper at perhaps 650~700, while with a difficult textbook you might drop to two hundred or two hundred and fifty.
Perhaps you would like to know what reading speeds are common among native English-speaking university students and how those speeds can be improved. Tests in Minnesota, U.S.A, for example ,have shown that students without special training can read English of average difficulty, for example, Tolstoy’s War and Peace in translation, at speeds of between 240 and 250 words per minute with about seventy percent comprehension. Students in Minnesota claim that after twelve half-hour lessons, once a week, the reading speed can be increased, with no loss of comprehension, to around five hundred words per minute.
56.According to the passage, the purpose of effective reading with higher speed is most likely to help you________.
A. only in your reading of a physics textbook
B. improve your understanding of an economics textbook
C. not only in your language study but also in other subjects
D. choose the suitable materials to read
57.Which of the following does not describe the types of reading materials mentioned in the second paragraph
A. Those beyond one’s reading comprehension.
B. Those concerned with common knowledge.
C. Those without much demand for specialized knowledge.
D.Those with the length of about five hundred words.
58.The average speed of untrained native speakers in the University of Minnesota is________.
A. about 300 words per minute B. about 245 words per minute
C. about 650~770 words per minute D. about 500 words per minute
59.According to the passage, how fast can you expect to read after you have attended twelve half-hour lessons in the University of Minnesota
A.You can increase your reading speed by three times.
B.No real increase in reading speed can be achieved.
C.You can increase your reading speed by four times.
D.You can double your reading speed.
B

Mother Teresa was born in Yugoslavia on August 27th,1910. She attended the government school near her home until she was eighteen. At that time, some doctors and nurses from Yugoslavia were working in India, and they often wrote to school about their work. She decided to join them one day.
When she finished school, she went first to Britain. Then a year later she went to India, where she began to train to be a teacher. After training, she was sent to Calcutta, where she taught geography at a school and soon after she became headmistress.(女校长)
However, although she loved teaching, in 1946 Mother Teresa left school and went to work in the poor parts of Calcutta. Later she trained to become a nurse in Panta, and then began her work helping the poor and comforting the dying in the streets of the city. Slowly others came to help her, and her work spread to other parts of India.
Mother Teresa is now a well-known person. Many photos have been taken of her as she traveled the world to open new schools and hospitals in poor countries. In 1979,she was given the Nobel Peace Prize for the lifetime of love and service she has given to the poor.

Millions of stars are traveling about in space. A few form groups which journey together, but most of them travel alone. And they travel through a universe so large that one star seldom comes near to another. For the most part each star makes its journey in complete loneliness, like a ship on an empty ocean. The ship will be well over a million miles from its nearest neighbor. From this it is easy to understand why a star seldom finds another anywhere near it.
We believe, however, that about two thousand million years ago, another star wandering（徘徊）through space, happened to come near our sun just as the sun and the moon raise tides（潮汐）on the earth, so this star must have raised tides on the surface of the sun. But they were very different from the small tides that are raised in our oceans; a large tidal wave must have traveled over the surface of the sun, at last forming a mountain so high that we can’t imagine it. As the cause of the disturbance came nearer, the mountain rose higher and higher. And before long the star tore it to pieces and threw off small parts of itself into space.
These small pieces have been going round the sun ever since. They are the planets.
68. About two thousand million years ago, the mountain on the sun was raised probably because .
A．another star happened to come near the sun
B．a large tidal wave of a star traveled over the surface of the sun.
C．the sun and the moon raised the tides on the earth.
D．The star moved away from the sun.
69. The article suggests that .
A．our earth exists（存在）before the sun.
B．no one knows where the earth comes from.
C．how space is formed.
D．our earth used to be part of a high mountain on the sun.
70. The expression“the cause of the disturbance”refers to .
A．the large tidal wave B．the powerful tidal pull
C．the star coming near the sun D．one of the sun’s planets
71. In this article, the writer mainly wants to tell the readers .
A．that the universe is so large that we can’t imagine it
B．how the high mountain was formed on the sun
C．why the tides over the surface of the sun were so powerful
D．where the planets in the universe came from
E
Why do men die earlier than women The latest research shows that the reason could be than men’s hearts go into rapid decline (衰弱)when they reach middle age.
The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that women’s longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age.
“We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age,” said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK.
“Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the ages of 20 and 70 , one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men,” said Goldspink. “This is part of the ageing process.”
What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old woman’s heart could perform almost as well as a 20- year- old one’s.
“This gender difference might just explain why women live longer than men,” said Goldspink.
They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease.
The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater toll (造成损失)on the male heart, said Goldspink.
The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise. Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.
72.The passage mainly talks about________.
A. men’s heart cells B. women’s ageing process
C. the gender difference D. hearts and long life
73. According to the passage, the UK scientists have known that ________.
women have more cells than men when they are born
women can replace the cells that enable the heart to beat
the female heart loses few of the cells with age
the female heart never loses the pumping power with age
74. If you want to live longer, you should_______.
enable your heart to beat much faster
find out the reason for ageing
exercise regularly
prevent your cells from being lost
75. We can know from the passage that _______.
the reason why ageing causes a greater loss to the male heart has been found out
scientists are still doing research into why the male heart loses more of the cells
the team has done something to prevent the male from suffering the greater loss of the cells
women over 70 could lose more cells than those at the age of 20.

My husband hasn’t stopped laughing about the thing that happened to me. It’s 36 now but it wasn’t at that time.
Last Friday, after doing all the family shopping in town, I 37 a rest before catching the train, so I bought a 38 and some chocolate and went to the station coffee shop that was a cheap, self-service place with long 39 to sit at. I put my heavy bag down on the floor, put the newspaper and chocolate on the table to40 a place, and went to get a cup of coffee.
When I came back with the coffee, there was someone in the 41 seat. It was one of those 42 young man, with dark glasses and torn clothes, and hair colored bright 43 at the front, not so unusual these days. What did 44 me was he’d started to eat my chocolate!
Naturally, I was annoyed. However, to avoid trouble—then really I was rather uneasy about him—I just 45 down at the front page of the newspaper, tasted my coffee, and took a bit of chocolate. The boy looked at me 46 . Then he took another piece of my chocolate. I could hardly 47 it. Still I didn’t want to start an argument. When he took a 48 piece, I felt more 49 than annoyed. I thought, “Well, I shall have the last piece.” And I 50 it.
The boy gave me a 51 look, and then stood up. As he left he shouted out, “This woman’s mad!” Everyone 52 . That really made me feel silly, but it was 53 when I finished my coffee and got ready to leave. My face went red—as red as his hair when I 54 I’d made a mistake. It wasn’t my chocolate he’d been taking. There was mine, 55 , just under my newspaper.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
A
A higher reading rate, with no loss of comprehension, will help you in other subjects as well as in English, and the general principles apply to any language. Naturally, you will not read every book at the same speed. You would expect to read a newspaper, for example, much more rapidly than a physics or economics textbook—but you can raise your average reading speed over the whole range of materials you wish to cover so that the percentage gained will be the same whatever kind of reading you are concerned with.
The reading passages which follow are all of an average level of difficulty for your stage of instruction. They are all about five hundred words long. They are about topics of general interest which do not require a great deal of specialized knowledge. Thus they fall between the kind of reading you might find in your textbooks and the much less demanding kind you will find in a newspaper or light novel. If you read this kind of English, with understanding at four hundred words per minute, you might skim through a newspaper at perhaps 650~700, while with a difficult textbook you might drop to two hundred or two hundred and fifty.
Perhaps you would like to know what reading speeds are common among native English-speaking university students and how those speeds can be improved. Tests in Minnesota, U.S.A, for example ,have shown that students without special training can read English of average difficulty, for example, Tolstoy’s War and Peace in translation, at speeds of between 240 and 250 words per minute with about seventy percent comprehension. Students in Minnesota claim that after twelve half-hour lessons, once a week, the reading speed can be increased, with no loss of comprehension, to around five hundred words per minute.
56.According to the passage, the purpose of effective reading with higher speed is most likely to help you________.
A. only in your reading of a physics textbook
B. improve your understanding of an economics textbook
C. not only in your language study but also in other subjects
D. choose the suitable materials to read
57.Which of the following does not describe the types of reading materials mentioned in the second paragraph
A. Those beyond one’s reading comprehension.
B. Those concerned with common knowledge.
C. Those without much demand for specialized knowledge.
D.Those with the length of about five hundred words.
58.The average speed of untrained native speakers in the University of Minnesota is________.
A. about 300 words per minute B. about 245 words per minute
C. about 650~770 words per minute D. about 500 words per minute
59.According to the passage, how fast can you expect to read after you have attended twelve half-hour lessons in the University of Minnesota
A.You can increase your reading speed by three times.
B.No real increase in reading speed can be achieved.
C.You can increase your reading speed by four times.
D.You can double your reading speed.
B

Mother Teresa was born in Yugoslavia on August 27th,1910. She attended the government school near her home until she was eighteen. At that time, some doctors and nurses from Yugoslavia were working in India, and they often wrote to school about their work. She decided to join them one day.
When she finished school, she went first to Britain. Then a year later she went to India, where she began to train to be a teacher. After training, she was sent to Calcutta, where she taught geography at a school and soon after she became headmistress.(女校长)
However, although she loved teaching, in 1946 Mother Teresa left school and went to work in the poor parts of Calcutta. Later she trained to become a nurse in Panta, and then began her work helping the poor and comforting the dying in the streets of the city. Slowly others came to help her, and her work spread to other parts of India.

Millions of stars are traveling about in space. A few form groups which journey together, but most of them travel alone. And they travel through a universe so large that one star seldom comes near to another. For the most part each star makes its journey in complete loneliness, like a ship on an empty ocean. The ship will be well over a million miles from its nearest neighbor. From this it is easy to understand why a star seldom finds another anywhere near it.
We believe, however, that about two thousand million years ago, another star wandering（徘徊）through space, happened to come near our sun just as the sun and the moon raise tides（潮汐）on the earth, so this star must have raised tides on the surface of the sun. But they were very different from the small tides that are raised in our oceans; a large tidal wave must have traveled over the surface of the sun, at last forming a mountain so high that we can’t imagine it. As the cause of the disturbance came nearer, the mountain rose higher and higher. And before long the star tore it to pieces and threw off small parts of itself into space.
These small pieces have been going round the sun ever since. They are the planets.
68. About two thousand million years ago, the mountain on the sun was raised probably because .
A．another star happened to come near the sun
B．a large tidal wave of a star traveled over the surface of the sun.
C．the sun and the moon raised the tides on the earth.
D．The star moved away from the sun.
69. The article suggests that .
A．our earth exists（存在）before the sun.
B．no one knows where the earth comes from.
C．how space is formed.
D．our earth used to be part of a high mountain on the sun.
70. The expression“the cause of the disturbance”refers to .
A．the large tidal wave B．the powerful tidal pull
C．the star coming near the sun D．one of the sun’s planets
71. In this article, the writer mainly wants to tell the readers .
A．that the universe is so large that we can’t imagine it
B．how the high mountain was formed on the sun
C．why the tides over the surface of the sun were so powerful
D．where the planets in the universe came from

Why do men die earlier than women The latest research shows that the reason could be than men’s hearts go into rapid decline (衰弱)when they reach middle age.
The largest study of the effects of ageing on the heart has found that women’s longevity may be linked to the fact that their hearts do not lose their pumping power with age.
“We have found that the power of the male heart falls by 20-25 percent between 18 and 70 years of age,” said the head of the study, David Goldspink of Liverpool John Moores University in the UK.
“Within the heart there are millions of cells that enable it to beat. Between the ages of 20 and 70 , one-third of those cells die and are not replaced in men,” said Goldspink. “This is part of the ageing process.”
What surprises scientists is that the female heart sees very little loss of these cells. A healthy 70-year-old woman’s heart could perform almost as well as a 20- year- old one’s.
“This gender difference might just explain why women live longer than men,” said Goldspink.
They studied more than 250 healthy men and women between the ages of 18 and 80, focusing on healthy persons to remove the confusing influence of disease.
The team has yet to find why ageing takes a greater toll (造成损失)on the male heart, said Goldspink.
The good news is that men can improve the health of their heart with regular exercise. Goldspink stressed that women also need regular exercise to prevent their leg muscles becoming smaller and weaker as they age.
72.The passage mainly talks about________.
A. men’s heart cells B. women’s ageing process
C. the gender difference D. hearts and long life
73. According to the passage, the UK scientists have known that ________.
women have more cells than men when they are born
women can replace the cells that enable the heart to beat
the female heart loses few of the cells with age
the female heart never loses the pumping power with age
74. If you want to live longer, you should_______.
enable your heart to beat much faster
find out the reason for ageing
exercise regularly
prevent your cells from being lost
75. We can know from the passage that _______.
the reason why ageing causes a greater loss to the male heart has been found out
scientists are still doing research into why the male heart loses more of the cells
the team has done something to prevent the male from suffering the greater loss of the cells
women over 70 could lose more cells than those at the age of 20.
