A Thoughtful Way to Go Shopping

Their handicrafts(艺品)are sold throughout North America in 180 stores，95 of which operated by Ten Thousand Villages．
“People come into the store because we have a lot of interesting things，but then they’re drawn to us by the mission(慈善的举动)，”says organization spokeswoman Juanita Fox．
“It just feels good to be making a difference when you’re buying something．”

Once inside though，it’s clear that this isn’t just another import store．On the wall behind the cash register is the following note：
“Ten Thousand Villages provides necessary fair income to Third World people by marketing their handicrafts and telling their stories in Noah America．Your buying makes a difference．”
The store was opened in 1994 as part of a network of shops across the USA inn by the Mennonite church，which is based in Akron，Pennsylvania．
Now 60，000 skilled workmen from 32 countries provide goods to the stores，with all the income reinvested(再投资)in the organization．
Management of the Alexandria shop is overseen by an all volunteer(自愿)board of directors．More than 40 other volunteers help doing everything from working the register to unpacking goods．
Maria Yannopoulos got involved(进入)after visiting a store and getting to know another volunteer．“Since we’re non—profit，we’re really looking for value because the more we sell，the more jobs we can create．Giving someone a job rather than charity helps in so many ways．”

第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题,每小题2分，共40分)
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的选项A、B、C、D中，选出最佳选项。
A
For a small town, Manhattan, Kansas has some big surprise. And one of them is the Holiday Inn
Hotel, with rooms built around a swimming pool and a friendly family atmosphere.
The Holiday Inn is where Manhattan people often go for a special party, or a night out. A lot of them choose to eat in the brightly lit restaurant near the pool. And many of them will be served by Ellen Logan, who has worked as a waitress here for more than two years.
Ellen, like most of the waitresses, is also a student. She comes from Nebraska, hut she's planning
one day to be a veterinary surgeon, and to care for small animals. But in order to support herself at college, she works twenty hours a week at the Holiday Inn.
Ellen soon learned what every waitress finds out. Your best friend has a good pair of shoes. She paid fifty-five dollars for hers, much more than she would usually spend. She's discovered something else, too. You don't have to know much about food to be a good waitress, but you do have to know a lot about people.
"A lot of business people always stay here when they come to Manhattan", she explains. "They like you to recognize them and remember their favorite dishes. But some couples come for a night out together. They just want to be left alone. Then there are people who can't make up their minds. They look down the menu and say 'What do you suggest ' So I ask them how hungry they are. If they say 'Not
very', I suggest the salad bar, with soup, salad, bread and a fruit Kansas Strip Steak, with potatoes or rice. You get salad and bread as well; it's very nice. Really- good value."
Ellen may get tired sometimes, but at least she's learning too much about people. She'll probably make a good animal doctor, but if she finds she doesn't like it after all, she can always become a psychiatrist(精神病专家) instead.

By the time the Montgomery Improvement Association chose the 26-year-old Martin Luther King, Jr as its leader, the hours-old bus boycott by the black citizens of Montgomery, Alabama, was already a great success. King would later write that his unexpected call to leadership "happened so quickly that I did not have time to think it through." "It is likely that if I had, I would have turned down the nomination(提名 ) ."
Although press reports at the time paid much attention to his public speaking skills, King was actually an unwilling leader of a movement started by others. His later writings and private letters show that he doubted the movement at that time. In the early days of his taking part, King was troubled by telephone threats, disagreement within the black community and Montgomery's "get tough" policy. One
night, as he considered ways to "move out of the picture without appearing a coward(懦夫) ," he began to pray aloud and, at that moment, "experienced the presence of the God as I had never experienced him before."
He would later admit that when the boycott began, he didn't firmly believe in Gandhian (甘地) principles. Although he had been introduced to those in college, he had remained doubtful. "I thought the only way we could solve our problem of segregation(种族隔离 ) was an armed revolution," he recalled.
Only after his home was bombed in late jaruary did King reconsider his views on violence. (At the time, he was looking for a gun permit and was protected by armed bodyguards. ) Competing with each other to influence King were two pacifists(和平主义者) : Bayard Rustin and the Rev. Glenn E. Smiley.
Rustin was shocked to discover a gun in King's house, while Smiley told fellow pacifists that King's home was "an arsenal(军火库)".
By the time the Supreme Court(最高法院) said that the bus company was wrong to separate blacks from whites in November 1956, King had been permanently changed.
"Living through the real experience of the protest, non-violence became more than a method to which I gave intellectual assent(同意)," he would later explain. "It became a commitment(约束) to a way of life."
After the boycott, King allowed himself to think deeply about his growing fame and his own self doubts. "To be honest, I'm worried to death," he said. "A man who succeeds at 27 has a difficult job ahead. People will be expecting me to pull rabbits out of the hat for the rest of my life."
67. What did King think of his nomination as leader of the Montgomery Boycott
A. He hadn't expected it.
B. He had to think about it carefully.
C. He would refuse to accept it.
D. He was prepared to accept it.
68. At first King was unwilling to lead the movement because he
A. doubted if the boycott would be successful
B. was troubled with a traffic accident at that time
C. thought he was too young to be a leader
D. himself didn't start the boycott
69. Which of the following was the immediate cause that made King change his view on violence
A. The education he received in college.
B. The attack on his home.
C. His belief in the Gandhian principles.
D. The influence of two active non-violence men.
70. What happened to King after he successfully led the boycott against the bus company
A. He was worried to death.
B. He knew he would be murdered.
C. He firmly believed in non-violence.
D. He was proud of being famous at an early age.
71. What did King mean by the sentence "People will be expecting me to pull rabbits out of the hat for the rest of my life"
A. His dream was to become a magician.
B. Many people were admiring his great success.
C. More and more people began to trust him.
D. People would expect him always to succeed.

Crossroads International
How does Crossroads work
Crossroads is a resource network. We take goods Hong Kong doesn't want and give them to people who badly need them. We collect those goods and give them out in the welfare arena(福利院) in Hang Kong, Mainland China, elsewhere in Asia, Eastern Europe and Africa. So Crossroads is just that: a Crossroads between need and resource.
Who do we help
The welfare agencies we help do not run on large budgets(预算). They are grass-root groups who have seen a need and tried to meet it. They can't get the job done without back-up, though, so our task is to help them do their task. Our warehouse is full of goods, from computers to high chairs, clothing to books, stationery to medical provision, cupboards to dining sets. They send us a list of their needs and we try to match it with the resource we have in stock.
How do we operate
Crossroads itself also operates on a low budget. We do not buy the goods we send. They are donated (捐赠). Similarly, rather than raising funds for freight (货运), we ask transport companies to donate their services. Nobody in our organization receives a salary. Even our full-time staff work on a voluntary
basis.
Those that donate goods and services:
·Factories · Manufacturers
·Hospitals · Hotels
· Educational Institutions · Householders
· Transport Companies · Offices
·Other Charities
One resource that we are always in need of is people. While we receive large quantities of goods and there is never a short supply of requests for them, we are always in need of hands to help sort and prepare them for shipping.
What Can I do
We are always in need of people. We have a lot of tasks, ff you are volunteering regularly, we can offer work in some of the following categories. Some of the time, you are welcome to number your top three choices and we will do our best to accommodate(提供)them.
·Clothing categorization ·Sewing
·Toy categorization ·Furniture handling
·Book categorization ·Driving
·Household goods categorization ·Office work
·Electrical goods categorization ·Book keeping
·Stationery categorization ·Fund-raising
·Medical categorization
Where to find us
All volunteer work is done at our warehouse:
Located in Basement Zone M of the Kai Tak Government Building

I'm certain that any of you who have been in our college very long may have already heard about this course. As you know, almost half the students in my class failed last term. Maybe you will feel afraid and say that I don't like my students.
Let me explain how that came about. This class is a composition class. In composition class there are certain rules that must be followed. It is unfortunate that these days many students feel that these rules are not necessary. When I grade a paper and I see that you have made a mistake in spelling a word, you have lost 10 points. And any paper that you can not finish on time will not be accepted. I also ask you to do some reading on which I will give tests. The class meets on Tuesday and Thursday. Your final grade is based on the total scores of the four tests and six compositions. Any time you have a prob1em，please come to see me in my office．My office is on the fourth floor of the building directly in front of the building we are in now．The hours are 2：00 pm on the same days as class．For Thursday you will write a composition about the story on Page 74 of the textbook．If there are no questions，that will be all for today．I will see you on Thursday.

One possible version：
The Water Cycle
The heat of the sun evaporates water from the oceans，seas，rivers and lakes．Water vapor is formed．This rises and forms clouds in the air．As the clouds rise，they are cooled．The higher they rise，the more they are cooled．This causes more and more water Vapor to condense．In this way，the tiny drops of water in the clouds get bigger and bigger until they are heavy enough to fall to the earth as rain．Some of rainwater sinks into the ground．Thirsty plants may use it up．Most of the water goes back to the rivers，seas and oceans．This process called the water cycle then starts all over again．高二英语（下）阶段综合测试五(Unit 19一Unit 20)

It was 3,000 miles from my family in Hawaii, pursuing(追求)my lifelong 18 of becoming a nurse. I attended classes all day, and then went straight to my full time 19 job at night. My weekly plan left me extremely tired and homesick.
I had 20 looked forward to the holidays. But this December I felt unable to go on. In my prayers(祈祷)I told 21 that I wished I could just get home to see my mum, dad and brothers.

B
The common cold is the world's most widespread illness, which is plagues (疫病)that flesh receives.
The most widespread fallacy(谬误) of all is that colds are caused by cold. They are not. They are caused by viruses(病毒) passing on from person to person. You catch a cold, and it would be reasonable to expect the Eskimos to suffer from them forever. But they do not. And in isolated arctic regions explorers have reported being free from colds until coming into contact again with infected people from the outside world by way of packages and mail dropped from airplanes.
During the First World War soldiers who spent long periods in the trenches( 战壕), cold and wet, showed no increased tendency to catch colds.
In the Second World War prisoners at the notorious Auschwitz concentration eamp(奥斯维辛集中营), naked and starving, were astonished to find that they seldom had colds.
At the Common Cold Research Unit England, volunteers took part in experiments in which they gave themselves to the discomforts of being cold and wet for long stretches of time. After taking hot baths, they put on bathing suits, allowed themselves to be dipped with cold water, and then stood about dripping wet in drafty room. Some wore wet socks all day while others exercised in the rain until close to exhaustion. Not one of the volunteers came down with a cold unless a cold virus was actually dropped in his nose.
In the cold we have nothing to do with catching colds. Why are they more frequent in the winter Despite the most pains-taking research, no one has yet found the answer. One explanation offered by scientists is that people tend to stay together indoors more in cold weather than at other times, and this makes it easier for cold viruses to be passed on.
No one has yet found a cure for the cold. There are drugs and pain suppressors(止痛片) such as aspirin, but all they do is to relieve the symptoms(症状).
39.The writer offered examples to support his argument.
A. 4 B. 5 C. 6 D. 3
40.Which of the following does not agree with the chosen passage
A. The Eskimos do not suffer from colds all the time.
B. Colds are not caused by cold.
C. People suffer from colds just because they like to stay indoors.
D. A person may catch a cold by touching someone who already has one.
41.Arctic explorers may catch colds when
A. they are working in the isolated arctic regions
B. they are writing reports in terribly cold weather
C. they are free from work in the isolated arctic regions
D. they are coming into touch again with the outside world
42.Volunteers taking part in the experiments in the Common Cold Research Unit
A. suffered a lot B. never caught colds
C. often caught colds D. became very strong

Why, you may wonder, should spiders be our friends Because they destroy so many insects, and insects include some of the greatest enemies of the human race. Insects would make it impossible for us to live in the world; they would devour(吞食、毁灭) all our crops and kill our cattle, if it were not for the
protection we get from insect-eating animals. We owe a lot to the birds and beasts who eat insects, but all of them put together kill only a very small amount of the number destroyed by spiders. Moreover, unlike some of the insect eaters, spiders never do the least harm to us or our belongings.
Spiders are not insects, as many people think, nor even nearly related to them. One can tell the difference almost at a glance for a spider always has eight legs and an insect never more than six.
How many spiders are engaged in the work on our behalf One authority on spiders made a research of the spiders and found that there were more than 2,250,000 in one acre; that is something like 6,000,000 spiders Of different kinds on a football field. Spiders are busy for at least half the year in killing insects. It is impossible to make more than the wildest guess at how many they kill, but they are hungry creatures, not content with only three meals a day. It has been estimated that the weight of all the insects destroyed by the spiders in Britain in one year would be greater than the total weight of all human beings in the country.
43.Spiders should be our friends, because
A. they only eat harmful insects
B. they are great insect-eating animals
C. they destroy large numbers of insects which do harm to the human race
D. their harmfulness is the least
44.The difference between spiders and insects is that
A. insects have only six legs B. insects only cat plants
C. spiders eat insects D. spiders have more legs than insects
45.One authority on spiders estimated
A. that there were more than 2,250,000 insects in a grass field in the south Of England
B. that every football field in England had 6,000,000 spiders
C. the quantity of different spiders in England was very big
D. that there were 6,000,000 kinds of spiders on a football field
46.In the last sentence the writer means
A. experts on spiders know exactly how much spiders eat in one year
B. experts on spiders can only make an estimation of the weight of insects eaten by spiders
C. authority on spiders know the weight of all the people in England
D. authority on spiders know both the weight of the insects eaten by spiders and the weight of people in England
47.Which one of the following statements is the main idea
A. Spiders, the greatest insects-eating animals, protect us from being destroyed by harmful insects and they should be our friends.
B. Spiders are not insects but in fact animals.
C. There are great numbers of spiders engaged in destroying harmful insects on behalf of the human race.
D. The weight of the insects eaten by spiders in one year is greater than the weight of all people in England.
D
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 is evidence to suggest that while variety certainly makes the worker's life more enjoyable, it does not actually makes 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 tree. The problem is that this kind of freedom cannot easily be given in the modem factory with its complicated machinery which 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 ear 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 contribution an important factor, therefore, but it is also one we can do something about.
To what extent does more money lead to greater productivity The workers themselves certainly think this is important. But perhaps 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.
48.Which of the following is the best way to make workers work harder according to the author
Increasing their pay.
B. Giving them more spare time.
Making the work itself meaningful.
D. Replacing large production lines with small ones.
49.The reason why a worker cannot have freedom in doing the job in his own way is that
A. the machinery is so complex that it should be fixed
B. the production lines are too large in modem factories
C. the bosses can create very little freedom of choices for workers
D. the machines must be operated strictly according to instructions and roles
50.For a worker on an assembly line in a car factory, the job is not enjoyable because
A. he can only make a part of a car B. he does not know what he is doing
C. his life in spare time is more interesting D. the importance of his job is not clear to him
51.In the article, the word "productivity" means
A. the activity of producing something B. the production volume in a time unit
C. the plan and the method of production D. both the quantity and quality of a product
52.The best title for this passage may be
A. Problems of Modern Workers B. Making Jobs More Interesting
C. Pushing Workers to Product More D. How to Improve Labor Productivity

People with bad health customs or habits have a much greater chance of suffering serious diseases and needing costly medical care, but good habits, such as a program of physical exercise, appear to protect health.
The most of the patients who were in the hospital a long time and who faced high medical costs were persons who were overweight, who smoked heavily, or who drank too much alcohol. Persons with such had habits faced at least a 50 percent greater than normal chance of needing costly hospital care. The smokers usually had lung or blood vessel(血管) disease. The heavy drinkers had liver or nerve disease. And those who were overweight had heart disease, or diabetes(糖尿病).
A program of physical exercise improves the body's ability to dissolve or melt dangerous blockages in blood vessels. Such a blockage or blood clot in vessels carrying blood to the heart can cause a heart attack.
The researchers tested 69 persons, both before and after the persons had taken part in a tenweek physical exercise program. The program involved a great deal of physical effort-stretching, walking and running. The scientists found that there was a large increase in each person's production of clot-dissolving (血块溶解) substances after the ten-week exercise program. This was true even in those persons who did not change other habits that increased the dangers of heart attack, such as cigarette smoking.
So we said the study is more evident (obvious) than physical exercise that can help protect the person's health. Good physical condition can reduce the chances that a person will die from heart or blood vessel diseases.
53.Which of the following is NOT true
A. Heavy drinkers can have liver or nerve disease.
B. Persons with bad habit need more costly hospital care than normal people.
C. The blockage can cause diabetes.
D. Smokers usually have lung diseases.
54.What can we learn from the passage
A. We should eat less in order not to be fat.
B. We should not drink.
C. We should all take part in a ten-week physical exercise program.
D. We should form good habits in order to be healthy.
55. didn't face high medical costs.
A. Persons who practiced a lot
B. Persons who were overweight
C. Persons who smoked heavily
D. Persons who drank too much alcohol

Dear editor,
I have recently made a survey among 30 boys and 30 girls in my class about their purpose(s) 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 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 and keep in touch with friends. As for studying, the number of boys and girls are equal, but altogether only several of them will use Internet as a tool to study.
Yours sincerely,

A
At one time, people used to travel to foreign countries because they thought they would be different from home-the building, the food, the national dress. Nowadays, however, one large city is very like another. They all have their Hihon or Sheraton Hotels which look like Hilton or Sheraton Hotels everywhere. They all have their McDonald's, their KFCs, their Pizza Huts. Office buildings look the same everywhere, and most city centers are full of office buildings. And, of course, people are driving the same brands of Japanese or European cars, usually wearing the same kinds of clothing and watching---except for a few programs--the same American movies and TV shows. Airports are the same everywhere and the world's airlines are all flying the same aircraft, Boeings or Airbuses.
What, therefore, is the purpose of foreign travel for people who are not on business What do tourists hope to experience in a foreign country that they cannot experience at home Why travel to foreign countries at all The answer could be that people are very interested in the past. It is a nation's history
that is its main attraction. Most of today's tourists travel overseas to find out what foreign countries and cultures used to be like, not what they are like today. The words "eultural tourism" are now part of the language of tourism, and it is the museums and works of art in many countries that are their main attractions.
If they are lucky--and have had sensible, strong governments--many countries "also usually have at least a few beautiful places for tourists to visit.
Finally there is perhaps a nation's greatest attraction: its people. A nation is not just its historical buildings, its works of art or beautiful places, it is also the people who live in it. This is why a country such as Thailand attracts millions of people every year. They come mainly- because of the friendliness of the Thai people, it is why the Pacific Islands are also so popular. There may not be much to see or do in Fiji, but there are lots of friendly, smiling people to make visitors feel welcome.
36.The passage is mainly about
A. the importance of tourism B. different foreign eultures
C. how to plan an overseas trip D. why people travel to foreign countries
37.The writer thinks that large cities in foreign countries
A. are similar to one another B. share the same aircraft
C. do not have good hotels D. do not offer a warm seryice to foreigners
38.The writer believes that many tourists are interested in foreign
A. hotels B. history C. cars D. programs
39."Cultural tourism" means .
A. visiting lots of museums
B. traveling overseas
C. studying the history" of a foreign country
D. tourists being interested in a nation's past and ideas

A device that stops drivers from falling asleep at the wheel is about to undergo testing at Department of Transport laboratories and could go on sale within 12 months.
The system, called Driver Alert, aims to reduce deadly road accidents by 20%--40% that are caused by tiredness. Airline pilots can also use it to reduce the 30% of all pilot-error accidents that are related to fatigue.
Driver Alert is based on a computerized wristband. The device, worn by drivers pilots, gives out a sound about every four minutes during a car journey. After each sound the driver must respond by squeezing the steering wheel(方向盘). A sensor in the wristband detects this pressing action and measures the time between the sound and the driver's response.
Tiredness is directly related to a driver's response time. Usually, a watchful driver would take about 400 milliseconds to respond, hut once that falls to more than 500 milliseconds, it suggests that the driver is getting sleepy.
In such cases the device gives out more regular and louder sounds, showing that the driver should open a window or stop for a rest. If the driver's response continues to slow down, the sounds become mote frequent until a nonstop alma warns that the driver must stop as soon as possible.
The device has been delivered to the department's laboratories for testing. If these tests, scheduled for six months' time, are successful, the makers will bring the product to market within about a year.
40.According to the text, Driver Alert
A. aims to reduce tiredness--related accidents
B. has gone through testing at laboratories
C. aims to prevent drivers from sleeping
D. has been on sale for 12 months
41.How should a driver respond to the sounds from Driver Alert
A. By sounding a warning. B. By touching the wristband.
C. By checking the driving time. D. By pressing the steering wheel.
42.We can learn from the text that the driver needs to stop for a break when his response time is
A. about 400 milliseconds B. below 500 milliseconds
C. over 500 milliseconds D. about 4 minutes

It was a warm April day when a big fat envelope cane in the mail from the only college I had ever imagined attending. I tore open the packet. My eyes were fixed on the word "congratulations." I don't remember ever smiling so wide.
Then I looked at my financial(财政的) package.
The cost of Dream School's tuition(学费), room and board was around ＄40,000--an impossible sum! How could I afford to attend What good reasons did I have to go there when three other fine colleges were offering me free tuition My other choices were good, solid schools even if they weren't as famous as my fired choice.
In my mind, attending my dream university would he the only way to realize my dream of becoming a world-class writer. My parents understood how I felt. They told me that even though it would be a financial problem, I could go wherever I would be happiest. But as I was always careful with money, I wasn't sure what to do.
One of the schools that offered me a full ride had an informational dinner one night in the spring. Considering my parents' financial difficulties, I decided to drive the 45 minutes and attend. At first, all I had planned to do was smile politely, eat free food, listen quietly. But I surprised myself.
At dinner the president of the university talked about the wonderful activities on campus(校园) including guest lectures and social gatherings. He also made it perfectly clear that free food would be offered at all future events. He continued with explanations of professors, class sizes, activities, and sporting events on campus. As he spoke, I began to realize that this school, though not as good as my first choice, might be the best one for me. It seemed small yet with many great programs. It seemed challenging yet caring.
As the president ended his speech, we clapped politely and pushed back our chairs. As I walked out that door, a feeling of comfort washed over me. Looking at the campus that night, I realized that I would be spending the next four years right there.
In all honesty, my university is not as well-known as my "dream" university. However, it turned out to be the right choice of schools for me.
44.How did the author feel when he started to read the letter
A. He was full of joy. B. He was lost in his dream.
C. He was worried about the money. D. He was uncertain which school to go to.
45.We can learn from the passage that the parents were
A. honest B. strict C. supportive D. decisive
46.In Paragraph 5, "offered me a full ride" can be replaced by
A. would pay for transport to the school B. would show me around the campus
C. would offer free meals at all events D. would charge me nothing for tuition
47.What does the author mainly want to say
A. Your second-choice college may actually be your best fit.
B. You should consider comfort in your choice of schools.
C. You should try your best to attend your dream school.
D. Your choice of schools should he based on their fame.

How Long Can People Live
She took up skating at age 85, made her first movie appearance at age 114, and held a Concert in the neighborhood on her 121st birthday.
When it comes to long life, Jeanne Calment is the world's record holder. She lived to the ripe old age of 122. So is 122 the upper limit to the human life span (寿命) If scientists come up with some sort of pill or diet that would slow aging, could we possibly make it to 150--or beyond
Researchers don't entirely agree on the answers. "Calment lived to 122, so it wouldn't surprise me if someone alive today reaches 130 or 135, "says Jerry Shay at the University of Texas.
Steve Austad at the University of Texas agrees. "People can live much longer than we think, " he says. "Experts used to say that humans couldn't live past 110. When Calment blew past that age, they raised the number to 120. So why can't we go higher "
The trouble with guessing how old people can live to be is that it's all just guessing. "Anyone can make up a number,," says Rieh Miller at the University of Michigan. "Usually the scientist who picks the highest number gets his name in Time magazine."
Won’t new anti-aging techniques keep us alive for centuries Any cure, says Miller, for aging would probably keep most of us kicking until about 120. Researchers are working On treatments that lengthen the life span of mice by 50 percent at most. So, if the average human life Span is about 80 years, says
Miller, "adding another 50 percent would get you to 120."
So what can we conclude from this little disagreement among the researchers That life, span is flexible(有弹性的), but there is a limit, says George Martin of the University of Washington. "We can get flies to live 50 percent longer," he says. "But a fly's never going to live 150 years. Of course, if you became a new species (物种), one that ages at a slower speed, that would be a different story," he adds.
Does Martin really believe that humans could evolve(进化) their way to longer life "It's pretty cool to think 'about," he says with a smile.
48.What does the story of Jeanne Calment prove to us
A. People can live to 122. B. Old people are creative.
C. Women are sporty at 85. D. Women live longer than men.
49.According to Steve Austral at the University of Texas,
A. the average human life span could be 110
B. scientists cannot find ways to slow aging
C. :few people can expect to live to over 150
D. researchers are not sure how long people can live
50.Who would agree that a scientist will become famous if he makes the wildest guess at longevity
A. Jerry Shay. B. Steve Austral.
C. Rich Miller. D. George Martin.
51.What can we infer from the last three paragraphs
A. Most of us could be good at sports even at 120.
B. The average human life span carrot be doubled.
C. Scientists believe mice are aging at a slower speed than before.
D. New techniques could be used to change flies into a new species.

Eating enough fruits and vegetables is what most people associate with good health habits. But just as important to healthy living are frequent doses(剂量) of laughter and humor--both proven to have a direct effect on health.
According to Wendy Shepard, clinical nurse specialist at Hopkins Bay view in Community Psychiatry's Creative Alternatives Program, laughter has definite physiological effects on the body. Laughing is like inside jogging(慢跑), she says. It cleans the respiratory(呼吸的)system, stimulates the digestive tract, increases heart rate and blood circulation(循环), lowers blood pressure, reduces muscle tension and increases the release of endorphins, the body's natural pain-killers.
Unfortunately, many people don't use humor enough when dealing with everyday life situations. Many wait for humor to happen to them instead of making it happen. "Humor is more than just laughing at a joke. It can become a way of life if you open yourself up to a new attitude," says Shepard. "The greatest thing about play, creativity and laughter--all components(成分) of humor---is that you not only
help yourself, you help others. Humor is contagious(易感染他人的)!"
Shepard suggests that everyone relax and lighten up. It can be as easy as focusing on fun things to pick up at a dollar store. Shepard often travels with a grab bag of things to help make people smile. Of course, making humor a part of your life 365 days a year doesn't mean you have to carry a grab bag, put on a clown nose or tell jokes--although those things are fun in the right situation. Instead, look for ways to make the things you already do more fun, such as laughing with co-workers and smiling at people you don't know.
Says Shepard, "Some people need help in the funny-bone department. That's why it's good to practice having fun." Things you can do to practice include putting together humor collections, making joy lists and creating joy boxes. A joy box may include a collection of whatever makes you happy—letters from loved ones, a child's drawing, a favorite cartoon, a fun toy, a humorous video--the possibilities are endless. Shepard says she loves to give joy boxes or gags(笑话或滑稽故事) with playful gifts. She says that these gifts lift the spirits of even the most serious of people.
"Keeping in mind that not all prescriptions(处方 ) involve drugs, there is a prescription you can give a loved one, friend or colleague," says Shepard. "The healing power of laughter, play and humor is great. Besides, you can never overdose on it. It truly is the best medicine."

A. good eating habits B. laughing matter
C. the sense of humor D. healing power of humor
53.The underlined word "physiological" (Para. 2) means in Chinese“ ”

People had known about steam power :for hundreds of years. But they did not know how to apply it to machines. About 300 years ago, some engineers discovered that they couldn’t use steam power to force water out of deep mines. This helped miners dig deeper than ever. But little more was done with steam power until one man, James Watt, discovered to make steam turn a wheel.
When he was a boy, James Watt's parents had scolded(责骂 ) him for playing with mechanical things. There were few advanced machines then And almost nobody could make a living by fixing them. So Wart's parents thought that playing around with machines was a waste of time. But someone asked Watt to repair a steam coal-mine pump. Watt fixed the pump and he began to build models of other pumps.
Once Watt had built his first steam engines, steam power was used to do many things. Machines were built that could weave(编织), grind(磨) flour, drive a boat or a train, and even make other machines.
Nearly anything that needed pushing or turning could be powered by steam. Within 50 years of Watt's invention, steam engines were producing and transporting things in ways that were impossible by hand, wind, or water power.

It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get an education．Nevertheless(虽然如此)，it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to sch001．The difference between schooling and education implied(暗指，含有)by this mark is important．
Education is nine more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling．Education knows no limits．It can take place anywhere，whether in the shower or on the job，whether in a kitchen or on a tractor．It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning．The agent of education can vary from respected grandparent to the people arguing about politics on the radio from a child to a famous scientist．Whereas schooling has a certain predictability(可预料性)，education quite often produces surprises．A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions．People receive education from infancy(婴幼儿)on．Education， then，is a very broad，inclusive term．It is a lifelong process，a process that starts long before the start of school，and one that should he a necessary part of one’s entire life．
Schooling，on the other hand，is specific，formalized process，whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next．3Nroughout a country，children arrive at school at about the single time，take the assigned(指定的)seats，are taught by Ekrt adult，use similar textbooks，do homework，take exits，and so on．The pieces of reality that are to be learned，whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of government，have been limited by the subjects being taught．For example，high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problems in their society or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with．There are clear and undutiful conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling．
44．The passage is organized by ．
A．giving examples of different schools
B．telling a story about excellent teachers
C．1isting and discussing several educational problems
D．telling the difference between the meanings of two related words
45． Which of the following statements does the passage support
A．Education systems need to be changed as soon as possible．
B．Without formal education，people won’t be able to read mad write．
C．Going to school is only part of how people become educated．
D．Schooling is of no use because students do similar things every day．-
46．What does the writer mean by using the expression “children interrupt their education to go to school ”in Paragraph 1
A．All of life is an education．
B．Learning takes place everywhere．
C．Education is totally destroyed by schooling．
D．Schooling prevents people from discovering new things．
47．What is the main idea of this passage
A．The best schools teach a variety of subjects．
B．Education and schooling are quite different experiences．
C．The more years students go to school，the better their education is．
D. Students benefit from schools，which require long hours and homework．

The agriculture revolution in the nineteenth century involved two things：the invention of labor-saving machinery and the development of scientific agriculture．Labor-saving machinery naturally appeared first where labor was scarce(not widely seen)。“In Europe，”said Thomas Jefferson，“the object(purpose)is to make the most of their land，labor being more than enough．”It was in the United States．There-fore，that the great adventures in nineteenth—century agriculture machinery first came.
At the opening of the century，with the exception of a crude plow(铸铁犁)，farmers could have carried practically all of the existing agricultural tools on their backs；by 1860，most of the machinery in use today had been designed in an early form．The most important of the easy inventions was the iron Dlow．As early as 1790 Charles Newbold of New Jersey had been working on the idea of a eastern plow and spent his entire fortune in introducing his invention．The farmers，however，were not interested in it，claiming that the iron poisoned the soil and the weeds grew．Nevertheless，many people devoted their attention to the plow，until in 1869 James Oliver of South Bend，Indiana，turned out the first chilled—steel plow．
48. What is the main topic of this passage
A．rule need for all agriculture advances to help feed a growing population．
B．rule development of saver machinery demanded by the labor movement．
C．Machinery that contributed to the agriculture revolution．
D．New Jersey as a leader in the agricultural revolution．
49．The underlined word “ naturally ”in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to ．
A. unsurprisingly B．gradually C．quickly D．safely
50．Which of the following Call be inferred from what Thomas Jefferson said in the first paragraph
A．Europe was changing more quickly than the United States．
B．Europe had greater need of farm machinery than the United States did．
C．The United States was finally miring out of good farmland。
D．There was a shortage of workers on United States farms．
51．Why did the farmers reject Newbold’s plow
A．Their horses were frightened by it． B．They preferred lighter tools．
C．It was too expensive． D.They thought it would destroy the land．

Hemophilia(血友病)results when a gene(基因)fails to produce the protein(蛋白质)needed for the blood to clot(凝块)，or change from a liquid to a solid。The faulty gene is passed 0n from parents to children. people with hemophilia suffer uncontrolled bleeding．This c&n result in pain，tissue swelling (肿)and permanent(永久的)damage to joints and muscles．
One in every ten-thousand males has the most common kind of hemophilia. It is extremely rare for females to have it. Patients can be treated with the missing clotting substance. They generally can lead normal lives.
Scientists say gene treatment may be a possible way to cure hemophilia in the future. Researchers consider hemophilia the best disease for gene treatment because it is caused by a single faulty gene. Also, only a small increase in the missing clotting substance could provide good results. They tested gene treat-
ment in six patients with severe hemophilia.
First, they removed skin cells from the patients' arms. The researchers grew the cells in the laboratory. They added copies of the needed gene taken from healthy people. Then they created hundreds of millions of genetically changed cells. They placed these cells into the patients' stomachs.
After four months, the amount of blood clotting substance in the blood increased in four of the six patients. Some of the patients reported a decrease in bleeding problems. However, ten months later, the clotting substance was no longer in the patients' blood. It is not clear if the implanted cells died or the added genes stopped working.
The researchers say the study showed that gene treatment is safe for people with the most common kind of hemophilia. But others expressed concern about the treatment because the effects were only temporary.
52.Which statement is NOT true about hemophilia.7
A. It causes uncontrolled bleeding.
B. It is caused by a faulty gene and is passed on from parents.
C. It doesn't succeed in making protein needed for blood to form into clots.
D. People with hemophilia don't have any physical damage and can lead normal lives.
53.People with hemophilia can live normally when
A. they are treated with the missing clotting substance
B. they accept the scientists' help
C. they place some genetically changed ceils into their stomachs
D. good copies of gene are placed in their bodies
54.By carrying out the experiment, scientists conclude that
A. people with hemophilia can recover completely with gene treatment
B. gene treatment is a safe and possible way to treat hemophilia
C. the effects of treatments are excellent and last long
D. hemophilia is a common disease and can be cured easily
55.It is for female to suffer hemophilia.
A. common B. usual C. uncommon D. impossible

I needed to get some money so，after Christmas，I took a job in the clothes department at Graham’s for the first fortnight of the January sale．I can’t say that I enjoyed it，but it was all experience I'll never forget．
I could never understand why there were so many filings in the sales；where did they all come from Now I know the secret[Firstly，there is the special winter stock(货物)and the stock that people buy all the year round；some of these things ate slightly reduced．Secondly，there are the summer clothes they couldn't sell last year；these are heavily reduced to clear them．Thirdly，there are cheap clothes bought in specially for the sales；these are put out at high prices ten days before the sale begins and then are reduced by 60％in the sale．Clever !Lastly，they buy in “seconds”(clothes not in perfect condition)for the sale and they are sold very cheaply．
When I arrived half an hour before opening on the first day of the sale，there was already a queue amend three sides of the building．This made me very nervous．
When the big moment moved to open the doors，the security guards，looking less confident than usual，came up to them，keys in hand．The moment they had unlocked the doors，they hid behind the doors for protection as the noisy crowd charged in．I couldn’t believe my eyes：this wasn’t shopping，it was a battlefield! One poor lady couldn’t keep her feet and was knocked over by people pushing from be
hind.
Clothes were flying in all directions as people searched for the sizes, colors and styles they wanted. Quarrels broke out. Mothers were using their small children to crawl (爬行) through people's legs and get hold of things they couldn't get near themselves.
Within minutes I had half a dozen people pushing clothes under my nose, each wanting to be the first served. Where had the famous English queue gone The whole day continued like that, but I kept my temper(脾气) ! I was taking money hand over fist and began to realize why, twice a year, Graham's were happy to turn their expensive store into a battlefield like this.
In the sale fever, people were spending money like water without thinking whether they needed what they were buying. As long as it was a bargain it was OK.
You won't believe this but as soon as I got home I crashed out for four hours. Then I had dinner and went back to bed, fearing the sound of the alarm which would tell me to get ready for the second day of the sale.

In 1901, H. G. Wells, an English writer, wrote a book describing a trip to the moon. When the explorers(探险者) 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 traveling 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 (隧道) connecting England and France, is now completed.
But what about underground cities Japan's Taisei Corporation is designing a network of underground system, 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 (太阳能穹顶) 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 surface, they say, can be used for farms, parks, gardens, and wilderness. H.G. Wells' “moon people” would agree. Would yon

A. Offices, shopping areas, power stations.

C. Gardens, ear parks, power stations.
D. Tunnels, gardens, offices.
44. What would be the best title for the text

If you are ever lucky to be invited to a formal dinner party in Paris, remember that the French have their own way of doing things, and that even your finest manners may not be “correct” by French custom. For example, if you think showing up promptly at the time given on the invitation, armed with gifts of wine and roses, complimenting your hostess on her cooking, laughing heartily at the host's jokes and then leaping up to help the hostess will make you the perfect guest, think again.
Here Madame Nora Chabal, the marketing director of the Ritz Hotel in Paris, explained how it works.
The first duty of the guest is to respond to the invitation within 48 hours. And, the guest may not ask to bring a guest because the hostess has chosen her own.
Flowers sent in advance are the preferred gift. They may also be sent afterwards with a thank-you note. It is considered a very bad form to arrive with a gift of flowers in hand, there by forcing the hostess to deal with timing a vase when she is too busy to do that. See, that's the logic! The type of flowers sent has a code of its own, too. One must never send chrysanthemums because they are considered too humble a flower for occasion. Carnations are considered bad luck, and calla lilies are too reminiscent(令人联想的) of funerals(葬礼). A bouquet of red roses is a declaration of romantic intent. Don't send those unless you mean it-and never to a married hostess. And though the French love wine, you must neverbring a bottle to a dinner party. Why, it's as if you feared your hosts would not have enough wine on hand, and that's an insult. You may, however, offer a box of chocolates which the hostess will pass after dinner with coffee.
If an invitation is for eight o'clock, the considerate guest arrives at 8: 15. Guests who arrive exactly on time or early are mere thoughtless ones who are not giving the hostess those last few minutes she needs to deal with details and crises. The “correct” guest arrives between 15 to 20 minutes after the hour be-
cause dinner will be served exactly 30 minutes past the time on the invitation.
45.Which of the following statements is right according to the French custom
A. When you receive an invitation, reply to it within two days. You'd better send flowers in advance.
B. Arrive exactly on time at the dinner party.
C. Bring a bottle of good wine to the dinner party.
D. Telephone to ask if you could bring a good friend to the party.
46.Which of the following is right about sending flowers
A. If someone is dead, send chrysanthemums or calla lilies.
B. If someone is ill in hospital, send carnations.
C. If you are invited to a dinner party, send red roses to the hostess.
D. If you are in love with someone, send red roses.
47.If you are too busy to send flowers in advance, what should you do
A. Bring a bouquet of flowers when you go to the party.
B. Send a bouquet of flowers afterwards with a thank-you note.
C. Bring a bottle of wine instead of a bouquet of flowers.
D. The hostess will never mind if you send flowers or not.
48.What does the word “considerate” in the last paragraph mean
A. 尊敬的 B. 值得考虑的 C. 考虑周到的 D.相当多的
D
If American customs seem strange, remember that Americans feel the same way when they visit another country, people living in different cultures do many daily things differently from one another. What a dull(not interesting or boring) the world would be if this were not true!
Some differences are small, and one soon becomes used to them. For example, many people find it strange that Americans move from place to place so often. Born in one city, they may attend school in a second, enter business in a third, and perhaps move several times during their lives. Today, most Americans fully expect and accept the fact that they will move frequently.
However, houses are of great interest to Americans. They spend a lot of time thinking, reading and talking about their homes and how to improve them. They also enjoy looking at other people's houses, since they would enjoy visiting and examining a house in another country, they may suppose that you will probably have the same desire when you visit the United States. So do not be surprised when you visit an American family and are shown every room in the house besides the bathroom and kitchen.
49.The first paragraph suggests that
A. only American customs prove to be strange
B. customs are different in different times
C. customs are different from country to country
D. Americans feel uneasy when they visit another country
50.According to the passage, the world would be terribly dull if
A. people living in different countries did a lot of things in the same way
B. people lining in various regions in the world did a few daily things in the same way
C. the people all over the world spoke the same language
D. most of the world people did daily things differently from one another
51.Most Americans think it normal that
A. the world is not dull
B. they will move frequently
C. they do many daily things differently from one another
D. customs are different from country to country
52.Which of the following statement is NOT true
A. Americans perhaps move several times during their lives.
B. Americans enjoy visiting others' houses.
C. It takes Americans much time to think, read and talk about their houses and how to perfect them.
D. You are shown all the rooms in the houses except the bathroom when you visit an American family.

The biggest safety threat(威胁) facing airlines today may not be a man with a gun, but the man with the portable computer in business class. In the past 15 years, pilots have reported well over 100 incidents that could have been caused by electromagnetic interference(电磁干扰). The source of this interference remains unclear, but increasingly, experts are pointing the blame at portable electronic devices such as portable computers, radio and mobile telephones.
RTCA, an organization which advises the aviation (航空 ) industry, has suggested that all airlines ban(禁止) such devices from being used during “key” stages of flight, particularly take-off and landing Some experts have gone further, calling for a total ban during all flights. Nowadays, rules on using these devices are left up to airlines. And although some airlines ban passengers from using such equipment during take-off and landing, most are not willing to exercise a total ban, if many passengers want to work during flights.
The difficulty in understanding how electromagnetic fields might affect an aircraft's computers. Experts know that portable devices give off radiation which affects those wavelengths which aircraft uses for communication. But, because they have not been able to reproduce these effects in a laboratory, they have no way of knowing whether the interference might be dangerous or not.
The fact that aircraft may be in trouble because of the interference raises the danger that some people may use radio systems in order to damage navigation(导航)equipment．As worrying，though，is the passenger who can’t hear the instructions to turn off his radio because the music’s too loud．
53.What is said about the over 100 aircraft incidents in the past 15 years
A．They may have taken place during take—off and landing．
B．They may have been caused by the damage to the radio systems．
C．They were said to have resulted from electromagnetic interference．
D. They were caused by the passengers’ portable computers．
54．Few airlines want to refuse a total ban on their passengers because ．
A．they have other effective safety measures to fall back on
B．they don’t believe there is such a danger as radio interference
C．the effect of electromagnetic interference is yet to be proved
D．most passengers refuse to take a plane which bans the use of radio
55．Why is it difficult to see the effects of electromagnetic fields on computers
A．Experts lack proper equipment to do such research．
B．It is dangerous to Calty out such research on an airplane．
C．It remains a question what wavelengths are to be interfered with．
D．Scientists have not been able to produce the same effects in labs．

参考答案
阶段综合测试一(Unit 11—Unit 12)
1． C 2．C 3．D 4．D 5．A 6．C 7．B 8．B
9． B 本题考查动词的时态区别。从题意“露西一直在考虑回去上学”来看，应用现在完成进行时has been doing，表示一段时间一直在做某事。
10．D 本题考查识别句子结构的能力以及非谓语动词的用法。seized与took是并列谓语，disappearing是现在分词作伴随状语。
11．C lead to “导致、引起”，to是介词，后接名词或动名词，catch与the thief之间是被动关系，故要用动名词的被动式。
12．D 13．C 14．C 15．B
16．A record。rd记录，记载经历，功过。颁发奖学金就是看学生的平时表现及考试成绩，只有record能体现出来。
17．C go further表示更进一步。get，last不能体现出积极的一面。
18．B 奖学金的发放肯定对学生有所要求，requirements要求，achievements完成，movements活动，treatments治疗，对待。
19．D 指其中任何一个人，是谁无关紧要，体现了平等性。
20．A treat sb．请客，这里指用奖学金招待朋友们吃饭。
21．C this和that都可以用来代指前面提到的人或物，但后面必须加名词；it用来指上文提到的人或物，此处指money；one用来代替可数名词的单数形式。
22．D 根据下文可知，评估是很严格的。
23．B make a short speech是作一场简短的演讲，从short可知没必要write，而对奖学金的高要求又不会让他们去read，更不会是show。
24．B 前文说怎样评奖，下面要说的怎样花费，二者之间是转折关系。as for表示“至于”。
25．D mind过于“大”，此处只是表示在一个小问题上的不同看法。
26．C 由natural及下文的usually可知，填special及unusual不合适。national国家的，民族的，不合语境。
27. D 由句中的on可确定spending，afford sth．to sb．，pay money for sth．，sth．cost sb．Money.
28．A especially表强调，特指，这里反对将钱花在请客上，又特别指出家境贫困的学生该怎么样。
29．A would表意愿，should应该，could表能力，might表可能性。si Guangrong还是一个大学生，尚未成为postgraduate，她只能表示愿意将钱花在上面。
30．C 由下文得知这些观点与Si Guangrong的观点不大相同，他们既不支持请客又不支持不请客，他们说可以按自己的方式花费，这是一个折中的观点。balanced意为“折中的，中庸的”。
31．B of a sort差劲的，劣等的，this sort of这种。ofthis sort没有这种结构out of sorts身体不适，sort of有几分，有点，多少有些，相当于some what。
32．D way表“方式”，前边必须加介词in。
33．A equip“装备”可排除；provide。若用于此处，应加介词for；send指“送或寄”，不能体现奖学金的严格要求，也应排除掉。
34． C 学生分两部分，the top 10，000得6000元，另一部分会收到4000元，the others表示两者中的另一部分。
35．B in addition另外，除了……之外还有；in the end最后；in short总之；in all总计。
36．D 由第二段“some of these things are shghtly reduced”可知，slightly表示轻微的，一点的，因为题目中所说便宜5％，因此可知为冬天的衣服。
37．A 由第六段“Where had the famous English queue gone ”可知，本题选A。
38．D 由文中可知，Graham's，希望看到人们在战场上一样疯买它的东西，因为它可以赚许多钱。
39．B 排除法，她很累，不可能是A、c、D，又由文中第八段“Then I had dinner and went back to bed”中的“back”可知，她又返回去睡觉，说明刚才在睡觉。
40．C 由全文可知，本文是描写人们争买打折商品的故事，所以选C。
41．C 该题是一个细节题。从第一段第二句中“When the explorers landed on the moon，they discovered that the moon was full of underground cities．”能够间接得出“moon people lived in SO many underground cities”故选项C正确。A、B、D的内容文中没有提到。
42．B 该题为推测词义题，主要考查考生根据上下文推测代词所指代内容的能力。由第二段可知…it’指“the。question that the moon people asked．”而the question是指第一自然段中“moon people”asked“are you traveling to outer space when you don’t even use your inner space ”从而得出it是指使用地球的内部空间，所以选B。
43． B 从第三段中，“tunnel”，“car parks”，“shopping areas”都是属于“underground systems”。可以得出正确答案为B。
44．D 该题是一个文章主旨题。在短文最后一段的第一句中，点明了本文的主旨“Supporters of underground development say that building down rather than building up is a good way to use the earth’s space．”由此句可得正确答案为D。
45．A 按照法国风俗选出正确选项，此题备选答案在文中均出现过，但根据法国人的逻辑，只有A是正确的。
46．D 关于送花，哪一选项正确呢 此题答案在第四自然段中，“菊花太谦卑，康乃馨代表坏运，马蹄莲让人想到葬礼，红玫瑰有浪漫之意但不宜送给已婚的女主人”，故正确答案为D。
47．B 文中提到“提前送花被视为较好的礼物，亦可在事后，并附一则感谢之语”，故此题答案为B。
48．C 由于“considerate”一词中有词根“consider”，所以选出两个较为迷惑的答案B、C，另“相当多的”为considerable。此题意在考查学生对同一词根的不同后缀的理解，根据上下文意思选C。
49．C 50．A 51．B 52．D
53．C 第一段第2行：“In the past 15 year，．．．over 100 incidents that could have been caused by electromagnetic interference．”
54．C 虽然有关专家指出飞行安全可能跟电磁干扰有关，但这种干扰的起因不明，还有待于证实。
55．D 第三段第3行“because they have not been able to reproduce these effects in a laboratory．”
56．her→his 57．A→r111e 58．have→having 59．to 60．out→in 61．to后面加be
62．√ 63．but→and 64．that→which 65．在I后面加am或者在just后面加come

I was being interviewed by a senior manager for a big company. I told him honestly that the principal reason that I was interviewing with them was my need to keep my family in Boston. My wife had recently died of a heart attack. A job in Boston would help me reduce some pain for my 16-year-old daughter and me. It was important to me to keep her present high school.
Bruce, the interviewer, was politely kind, but he didn't search any further. He acknowledged(承认) my loss and, with great respect, moved on to another subject. After the next round of interviews, Bruce took me to lunch with another manager. Then he asked me to take a walk with him. He told me that he had lost his wife. And, like me, he had also been married 20 years and had 3 children. I realized that he had experienced the same pain as I had and it was almost impossible to explain to someone who had not lost a loved one. He offered his business card and home phone number and suggested that, should I need help or just want someone to talk to, I should feel free to give him a call. Whether I got the job or not, he wanted me to know that he was there if I ever needed help.
From that one act of kindness, when he had no idea if we could ever see each other again, he helped our family deal with one of life's greatest losses. He turned the normally cold business interview process into an act of earing and supporting for another person in a time of extreme need.
59. According to the passage, the interviewer, Bruce, was very .
A. generous B. kind C. happy D. mean
60. The underlined word "principal" in the first paragraph probably means .
A. main B. unimportant C. necessary D. possible
61. We can infer from this passage that .
A. the writer didn't get the job in the company
B. Bruce made the writer pass the interview
C. another manager also lost his wife
D. the business interview was cold
62. Which of the following statement is NOT true
A. The writer's daughter was studying in Boston at that time.
B. Both the writer and the interviewer experienced the same pain.
C. Bruce was a senior manager of a big firm.
D. Bruce wanted to make Mends with him because he gave him his business card and home phone number.

One would have to be a fool to overlook the importance of using positive thinking for you rather than snowing negative thinking to work against you. In recent years, research in psychopharmacology(精神药理学) has proved what many people have known over the centuries: a positive attitude is good for you, good for your health, good for your wealth, good for everything.
Researchers have found that a positive attitude produces a specific chemical reaction which makes people feel better, while negative thinking results in a reduction of hormone(荷尔蒙) and shuts down the immune system. This leads to illness and depression. Positive thoughts will make you feel better. Even if
you must begin by forcing yourself to be positive, it will become contagious and the positive thoughts will produce nice little chemicals and good feelings which will reinforce the positive thoughts.
For example, if you force yourself to smile or laugh, even when you "don't feel like smiling or laughing, if you keep at it for a few minutes, you will soon feel like it. Feelings can make thoughts alive, and thoughts can do it, too. Control your thoughts and you can control your feelings. Positive thinking is important in all aspects of our lives. There is probably no single factor more important in determining your success in achieving your career purposes than your own attitude.
It's often been said that in the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. And in the office of militant(好战的) negativism, the positive workers shine like gold. You cannot control external events, but you can learn to control your reaction to those events and thereby have a positive attitude and be happy. This important key to success is totally within your control. Use it.
63. We can infer from the passage that .
A. positive thinking can cure you of your diseases
B. positive thinking can easily be generated by anyone
C. a reduction of hormone may cause you to be depressed
D. a specific chemical reaction is the cause of negative thinking
64. According to the passage, which of the following is true
A. Feeling and thoughts can react to each other.
B. It's easier to control thoughts than to control feelings.
C. Your success depends wholly on your attitude.
D. Keeping smiling will surely make you successful.
65.Just like a one-eyed man in the land of the blind, you should .
A. take positive attitude in the office of militant negativism
B. be kind in your office
C. pay no attention to what is going on around you
D. control your feeling to what is happening to you
66.The best title to the passage is .
A. Thinking Benefits People B. Why Should People Think
C. Positive Thinking and Negative Thinking D. Thinking: The Important Way
D
What makes a person a scientist Does he have ways or tools of learning that are different from those of others The answer is "No". It is not a tool a scientist uses but how he uses these tools that makes him a scientist. You will probably agree that knowing how to use a power is important to a carpenter. You will probably agree, too, that knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. The scientist, however, goes one step further: he must be sure that he has a reasonable answer to his question into a large set of ideas about how the world works.
The scientist's knowledge must be exact. There is no room for half right or right just half the time. He must be as nearly right as the conditions permit. What works under one set of conditions at one time must work under the same conditions at other times. If the conditions are different, any change the scientist observes in a demonstration must be explained by the change in the conditions.
This is one reason that investigations are important in science. Albert Einstein, who developed the theory of relativity, arrived at this theory through mathematics. The accuracy of his mathematics was later tested through investigation. Einstein's ideas are shown to be correct. A scientist uses many tools for measurements. Then the measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.
67. "...knowing how to investigate, how to discover information, is important to everyone. " The author says this to show .
A. the importance of information
B. the difference between carpenters and ordinary people
C. the difference between scientists and ordinary people
D. the importance of thinking
68. A sound scientific theory should be one that .
A. works under one set of conditions at any time
B. leaves no room for improvement
C. does not allow any change even under different conditions
D. can be used for many purposes
69. Which of the following statements is NOT tree
A. What works under one set of conditions at one time might work under the same conditions at other times.
B. Tools which a scientist uses for measurements are used to make mathematical calculations that may test his investigations.
C. A scientist should know more about other branches of knowledge to arrive in his achievement.
D. Knowing how to investigate, how to discover information is important to scientists.
70. What is the main idea of the passage
A. Scientists are different from the ordinary people.
B. The theory of relativity.
C. Exactness is the secret of science.
D. Exactness and way of using tools is the key to the making of a scientist.

Language is a major problem for the European Union (EU). The agreement or treaty(条约) which created the organization that eventually became the EU, the Treaty of Rome, stated that each country's language must be treated equally. The original(原来的) six countries had only three languages between them: French, German and Dutch/Flemish. However, there are now 15 countries in the EU, with a total of 12 languages. EU documents must be translated into all these languages, and at official meetings the speeches must be translated into all the languages by interpreters.
All this translating is very expensive and time-consuming (费时的). It is said that nearly half of all employees of the EU are engaged in translating documents and speeches, and nearly half of the EU's administrative(管理方面的) costs are spent on this task. In the near future it is probable that several more
countries, most of them having their own languages, will join the EU, thus making the situation even worse.
The problem is not just cost; there are practical difficulties as well. With 12 languages, there are 132 possible "translation situations" that might be needed. It is often difficult to find people in the right place at the right time who can translate from (for example) Danish into Greek, or Dutch into Portuguese, at a high professional standard.
In practice the problem has been made less severe by the use of English in many contacts between EU officials, since almost all of them speak some English. However, any move to reduce the number of official languages (perhaps to four or five) would be a blow to the pride of the smaller Countries. Another commonly suggested solution is to make English the official language for all EU business. However, this is strongly resisted by powerful member countries like France and Germany.
71. The organization that eventually became the EU .
A. was started by France and Germany B. started with three countries
C. was set up by the Treaty of Rome D. included 132 languages
72. What's the main purpose of this passage
A. To give a solution to a problem.
B. To find out a problem and show how severe it is.
C. To criticize the European Union for inefficiency.
D. To show that the problem cannot be solved.
73. According to the writer, the use of English in contacts among EU officials has .
A. angered the officials who don't speak English
B. reduced the number of official languages
C. reduced the effect of the problem
D. been opposed by powerful member countries
74. The writer mentions "Danish into Greek" as an example of .
A. a situation that might be difficult to deal with
B. a situation that occurs often
C. one of the 12 situations that requires an interpreter
D. languages easily being interpreted
75. The writer suggests that if the number of official languages was reduced .
A. the EU would not know which official languages to choose
B. countries whose languages were not used officially would be unhappy
C. only languages which are easy to translate would be used officially
D. the smaller member countries would be pleased

TEXT 10
Today I would like to continue our discussion of early American agriculture, turning from the raising of crops to the raising of livestock. The animals you would have seen on a typical farm in Massachusetts in the early 1800's would not look quite the same as the ones you might see in the 1980's. In colonial times settlers brought cattle and sheep with them to America from various parts of Europe. Because the settlers were busy building houses, clearing land and planting crops,
they had little time to care for their animals. The cattle and sheep had to fend for themselves, and females were bred to whatever bulls and rams who were in the neighborhood. These makings resulted in mixed breeds of cattle and sheep that
were hard enough to survive under adverse conditions. As the herds grew, they provided the settlers with meat as well as milk and wool. That was all most 19th century farm families needed: enough food for themselves and a little surplus that
could be traded for things they couldn't produce at home. Now the survival of farm animals is not so precarious. Breeding is much more selective and specialized. Purebred cattle and sheep predominate; some bred for their meat, others for their
milk or wool.

My Opinion on Cheating in Examinations
It is known to us all that some students cheat in examinations at school.
As students, we often take examinations at school, but sometimes we have too many examinations which are too difficult for us. And some of us are lazy and don't work hard at their lessons. So when taking examinations, they sometimes cheat in order to get better results to please their parents and teachers.
In my opinion, it is wrong to cheat in examinations because it breaks the rules of schools. We students should be honest and try to get good results by studying hard instead of cheating in examinations. What's more, we should improve our study methods and get well prepared for examinations.
