第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Why must we pay taxes The answer is that the government needs money for many
things, for example to pay its soldiers, sailors and airmen, to build roads, bridges, offices, schools, etc, and to buy goods from abroad; and only the people of the country can supply the money. One of the most important taxes is income-tax which a person pays according to the amount of his income-tax. Whether he is a merchant, a doctor, a lawyer, a shopkeeper, a miner, or anything else. This is called a “direct” tax, because it is paid in money direct to the government.
Another tax is paid on goods such as watches, jewellery, new clothes, tobacco, wine, etc, when they are brought into a country, such a tax is paid as part of the price of these goods if they are later sold in shops. We call it “indirect” tax, because it is paid indirectly through the shopkeeper.
People usually complain about having to pay taxes, but they forget that the money is spent on things that they and their families need. We need policemen to catch thieves, to see that men obey the laws, to direct traffic, etc, and they must be paid what they earn; children need education and there must be schools and teachers; we want our streets to be kept clean, and the wages of men who do this kind of work have to be paid. Above all, the country must always be ready to defend itself against attacking enemies, and we cannot have an army without paying for it.
Taxes, therefore, cannot be avoided. We buy our own food and clothes and pay for our own amusements; but, there are several things that the State finds the money for, and that are necessary for us if our society is to continue. We have no real cause to complain, therefore, when we are asked to supply money to be spent for the good of ourselves and for our fellow-citizens.
56. Indirect tax means .
A. tax that one pays directly to the government
B. tax that is not paid directly to the government
C. tax that is paid as an extra amount added to the price of certain goods
D. both B and C
57. Which of the following is right
A. Taxes are paid to the sellers.
B. Income-tax is an indirect tax.
C. The tax on new clothes is paid in money direct to the government.
D. Tax is amount of money that you pay to the government for public services.
58. People have no real reason to complain about having to pay taxes because .
A. some shopkeepers are very rich
B. they need money to buy goods from abroad
C. their children need education
D. the money is spent on things that they and their families need
59. “Taxes cannot be avoided”means .
A. people have to pay taxes to the government
B. you do not have to pay tax on some goods
C. soldiers do not have to pay taxes
D. all goods have to be taxed
B
A businessman must keep records of the money he takes in and the money he spends. The work of keeping such records is called bookkeeping. The work of deciding how the records should be set up is called accounting. An accountant also finds out, by studying the records, whether or not a business is doing well. The accountant must know many things about the business.
Suppose a man owns a small clothing store, he keeps records that show that he spent money for newspaper advertising, and for suits, shirts, shoes, and neckties to sell to his customers. He had to pay a young man to help him in the store. He also paid rent and had other expenses.
At the end of the year, he must take an inventory. That is, he counts how many pieces of clothing he has on hand. Then he must find out exactly how many he sold, how much money he took in, and how much money he spent in running the business. If he took in more than he spent, he made a profit for the year. If he spent more than he took in, he suffered a loss. He depends on his store accounting records to get all this information.
The owner of a small clothing store can keep records without much trouble. But a big oil company, or a big bank has many difficult accounting problems. The company must know how much money is to be paid by its debtors and how much it owes other companies for supplies. It must know how much it has lost in depreciation, or wear and tear of its equipment. All of this information must be kept in the company's accounts. Big companies employ many accountants.
After a company's accountants finish their yearly count, their work must be officially examined. Experts from outside company double-check the records to be sure the accounts are correct.
60. According to the passage, a clothing store owner needs to keep records of the money he spends for .
A. clothing only B. newspaper advertising C. all necessary expenses D. housing
61. After taking an inventory, if the owner found that he had got more money than he had spent, he made .
A. a profit B. a loss C. an income D. an interest
62. A small store owner can usually keep records .
A. with difficulty B. easily C. without any help D. without working
63. In big companies, after the accountants finish the yearly count, .
A. the work will be well done B. no one will check it
C. the records will be finished D. experts will check the records
C
You may think that inventions are far away from your everyday life. But in fact, almost everyone can invent. It's just that they do not recognize that their idea could be the start of an invention. Once inventors see their ideas have some practical value, they don't let them slip away.
For example, the inventor of the dishwasher, American Josephine Cochrane, loved to give dinner parties. But she found it took too long to wash her dishes by hand and too many of them broke. She decided that a machine could do the job faster and with fewer mistakes. So, in 1886, she set out to make one for herself.
Like Cochrane's, most inventions are created to solve a problem. So, the first and most important step is to find the problem.
You can start by looking at what is wrong with things you use now. You can ask grandparents or neighbours if they remember ever saying: "I wish someone would invent something for..." Or you can look at people in different areas such as on the street, or at school. Then you might notice situations or things in need of improvement.
Remember to record your ideas and work. This will help you develop your invention and protect it when it is completed.
The next step is to think about possible solutions. An invention is a new way of solving a problem. So think of many, varied, and unusual ways.
You can often come up with a solution for a problem by looking at it from a different angle (角度) or thinking about it in a new way.
Example 1 — instead of thinking of shoes as protecting your feet from the ground, think of
using something to protect the ground from your feet.
Example 2 — instead of thinking about how you can carry oranges home from a store, think of
how they can come to you by delivery or growing your own.
Example 3 — instead of experimenting with only one solution, can you put two or three
solutions together, or arrange them in different orders
And if one solution doesn't work, can it be put to other uses That was how yellow post-it notes (N次贴) came about — a "failed" adhesive (粘合剂) experiment proved a weak adhesive had good uses too!
After all, most inventions are not brand new. They do not come out of nowhere, but come out of things or ideas that already exist (存在).
And the hardest part of inventing, even for a lot of inventors, is coming up with a problem and finding a solution. Once you have an idea, you can always get help building your invention.
This problem-solving technique can also work in your everyday lives. So, why not try it in your studies, in your relationship with others, or even in the way you look at the world
64. The main idea of this story is ________.
A. how to improve the world around you
B. that you can invent and how you will be able to do so
C. problem-solving technique
D. how inventors invent
65. What makes inventors different from other people is probably that __________.
A. they consider every new idea as an invention
B. they are full of creative ideas
C. they enjoy solving problems
D. they look for problems and try to solve them in a new and better way
66. What made Josephine Cochrane decide to invent the dishwasher
A. Her love of parties.
B. Her dislike of dishwashing.
C. Her desire for something that could do the dishwashing better.
D. Her love of inventing.
67. Which of the following is one of the ways to find a problem
A. Look at the world from a different angle.
B. Find out things that people are not satisfied with.
C. Do experiments.
D. Never let a practical idea slip away.
68.The underlined phrase "come about" probably means to _______.
A. come into being B. put to use C. work D. become
D
When dinning in restaurants, Americans usually order drinks first, then soup, salad, main course or entree(主菜), and dessert at last. This is somewhat a different order way from that in Europe.
Until about the middle of the nineteenth century, Americans didn’t have to worry about whether the salad came before or after the main course since they didn’t eat salad at all. Chomping(大声地咀嚼) on greens was once considered sissy(女人气的), and Americans preferred to get their greens indirectly, after they had been processed by rabbits or deer. The shift of public taste toward the salad may be attributed to New York’s Delmonico brothers, who originally introduced smorgasbord from Europe, and served it in their restaurant. Such novelties(新奇的东西) became so popular that by the end of the nineteenth century, the Waldorf salad has swept the country.
Europeans still chomp on greens after the main course, as a way of clearing the palate(味觉), and being ready for the cheese. Why Americans eat their salad first is uncertain. The following joking suggestions might make sense: The custom may be related to the slimming craze, for “salad first” may fill you up without any worry about fattening; to avoid customers’ impatience with waiting, the restaurant serves salad first to keep them busy while the main courses are being prepared; eating raw food while one is waiting for the cooked food may be a way of announcing that one is not wasting time, which is seen as a virtue; probably unfair to the restaurant, this custom has been encouraged by the merchant as trick-the meagerness(不足量) of a meal is less noticeable if it comes after “free” salad-after all, rabbit food is much cheaper than the rabbit.
69. Before the middle of the nineteenth century, _________ .
A. Americans ate the salad before the main course
B. Americans ate the salad after the main course
C. Americans ate the salad either before or after the main course
D. Americans didn’t eat salad at all
70. In the last sentence of the passage, “rabbit food” refers to_______ .
A. the salad B. food made of rabbit meat
C. junk food D. food prepared for the rabbit
71. Which of the following statements is true
A. Salad first appeared in America, and then was introduce to Europe.
B. The American tradition of eating salad before the main course was formed mainly due to health.
C. In less than fifty years, salad became popular throughout the United States.
D. Serving Salad before the entree by the restaurants is a way of cheating the diners.

A century ago in the United States, when an individual brought suit（起诉） against a company, public opinion tended to protect that company. But perhaps this phenomenon was most striking in the case of the railroads. Nearly half of all carelessness cases decided through 1896 involved railroads. And the railroads usually won.
Most of the cases were decided in sate courts, when the railroads had the climate of the times on their sides. Government supported the railroad industry; the progress railroads represented was not to be slowed down by requiring them often to pay damages to those unlucky enough to be hurt working for them.
Court decisions always went against railroad workers. A Mr. Farwell, an engineer, lost his right hand when a switchman carelessly ran his engine off the track. The court reasoned that since Farwell had taken the job of an engineer voluntarily at good pay, he had accepted the risk. Therefore the accident, though avoidable had the switchmen acted carefully, was a "pure accident". In effect a railroad could never be held responsible for injury to one employee caused by the mistake of another.
In one case where a Pennsylvania Railroad worker had started a fire at a warehouse and the fire had spread several blocks, causing widespread damage, a jury found the company responsible for all the damage. But the court overturned the jury's decision because it argued that the railroad's carelessness was the immediate cause of damage only to the nearest buildings. Beyond them the connection was too far-off to consider.
As the century wore on, public feeling began to turn against the railroads -- against their economic and political power and high fares as well as against their coldness toward individuals.
72. Which of the following is NOT true in Farwell's case
A. Farwell was injured because he carelessly ran his engine off the track.
B. Farwell would not have been injured if the switchman had been more careful.
C. The court argued that the victim had accepted the risk since he had willingly taken his job.
D. The court decided that the railroad should not be held responsible.
73. What must have happened after the fire case was settled in court
A. The railroad compensated（赔偿）for the damage to the immediate buildings.
B. The railroad compensated for all the damage by the fire.
C. The railroad paid nothing for the damaged building.
D. The railroad worker paid for the property damage himself.
74. The following aroused public anger EXCEPT _____.
A. political power
B. high fares
C. economic loss
D. indifference
75. What does the passage mainly discuss
A. Railroad oppressing individuals in the US.
B. History of the US railroads.
C. Railroad workers' working rights.
D. Law cases concerning the railroads.

Life today has many problems. One of the biggest is pollution. Water pollution has made our rivers and lakes dirty. it kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us talk louder an makes us become angry more easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution. It’s bad to living things in the world.
We need to do a lot of things to fight pollution. Factories must clean their waste water before it is thrown away, and they mustn’t blow dirty smoke into the air. We can’t throw waste things on the ground. We can go to work by bus or with our friends in the same car. if there are fewer people driving on the roads, there will be less pollution.
Rules are not enough. Everybody must help to fight pollution.

Ownership of Houses in a Big City in China
As can be seen from the chart, ownership of houses in a big city in China changed in the past ten years. In 1995, 75 percent of the houses were state-owned. Five years later, the rate of state-owned houses to private ones was 3 to 2. But from then on, the ownership of houses changed rapidly and so far 80 percent of houses have been private.
What caused the changes There might have been two main reasons. First, from 1995 up to now, the people's living standards have been improving. Most of them can afford to buy the houses. Second, most people do not save a lot of money in the bank for their children as their ideas of parents did in the past. They want to have their own home and enjoy life.
Such changes have had a great effect on the development of society. It does good to both the citizens and the government.

I started gabbing a mile a minute, hoping if I kept it 49 he wouldn’t notice my horrible dress. “I am going to college in September,” I said.
“That’s great,” Dennis replied. “I got 50 to the police academy.”
“Wow!” I said. Somehow I kept the conversation going. Soon we were walking to the parking lot together. The next thing I knew Dennis had first asked me 51 .
We courted through college, and eventually got married. Months after our wedding I asked Dennis if he remembered the day 52 he had first asked me out.

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Sometimes people call each other “scared-cat”, but have you ever thought about this expression When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster, its muscles get tense, and there are changes in the chemicals in its bloodstream. Although the cat doesn’t realize this, its body is getting ready for action. If the danger continues, the animal will do one of two things. It will defend itself, or it will run away as fast as it can.
Something like this also happens to people. When we are excited, angry, scared, or aroused by other emotions, our bodies go through many physical changes. Our hearts beat faster, and our muscles get tense. All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react. We, too, get ready to defend ourselves or run.
Human beings, however, have a problem that animals never face. If we give way to our feelings and let them take over, we can get into trouble. Have you ever said something in anger—or hit somebody—and regretted it later Have you ever shouted at a teacher, told somebody you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut It isn’t always wise to express your feelings freely.
Does this mean that it’s smarter always to hide our feelings No! If you keep feelings of anger, sadness, and bitterness hidden away or bottled up inside, your body stays tense. Physical illness can develop, and you can feel churned up inside. It can actually be bad for your health. (It isn’t good to keep pleasant feelings inside either; all feelings need to be expressed.)
Feeling that you keep all bottled up inside, don’t just go away. It’s as if bought some bananas and stuck them in a cupboard. You might not be able to see them, but before long you’d smell them, if you opened the cupboard, chances are you’d see little fruit flies hovering all over them. They’d be rotten.
You can try to treat emotions as if they were bananas in the cupboard. You can hide them and you can pretend they don’t exist, but they’ll still be around. And at last you’ll have to deal with them, just like those bananas.
56. What does the word “emotions” in the second paragraph mean
A. acts B. feelings C. measurements D. thinking
57. The best title for this article is __________.
A. Emotions Affect Our Bodies
B. What Happens to A Frightened Cat
C. What Happens to An Excited Person
D. Feelings That People Have
58. The author wrote this article in order to __________.
A. tell us that it isn’t good to keep feelings inside
B. give us some advice on how to express our feelings
C. compare man with a scared cat and suggest mankind learn from it.
D. make us know that it isn’t always wise to express our feelings freely
B
increasing noise annoys
People want action on noise, a recent public meeting in Brisbane showed. Some want technical improvements such as quieter air conditioners or better sound barriers around major roads. Others want tougher laws to restrict noise from building sites or to require owners to take responsibility for barking dogs. But the highest priority (优先) was a noise complaints system that works.
Brisbane City Council receives more complaints about noise than all other problems put together. So it conducted survey and found that about half its citizens are upset by noise in one form or another—traffic, mowers, pool pumps, air conditioners or loud parties. This inspired the Council to bring together more than 100 citizens one evening to talk through solutions to the problem.
The meeting found the present noise complaints system bizarre. Depending on the problem, responsibility for noise can lie with the Council, the Environment Protection Authority, one of three government departments or even the police. So complaints often feel they are getting the run-round. When the people at the meeting were asked to vote for changes, the strongest response was for a 24-hour, noise hotline to be the first port of call for all complaints.
The meeting also favored regulatory measures, such as tougher minimum standards for noise in appliances like air conditioners. This even makes economic sense, as noise is a waste of energy—and money. Other measures the meeting supported were wider buffer zones around noisy activities and controls to keep heavy traffic away from residential areas（居民区）.
59. According to the passage, what do people want most
A. Tougher laws. 　B. Technical improvements.
C. An effective noise complaints system 　 D. Tougher minimum standards for noise
60. What does the underlined word bizarre in the second paragraph mean
A. reasonable B. wonderful C. strange D. responsible
61. How many regulatory measures against noise are mentioned in the last paragraph
A. 3. B. 4. C. 2. D. 5.
62. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage
A. Tougher minimum standards for noise in appliances are necessary.
B. Traffic, mowers, pool pumps, and air conditioners are all the sources of noise.
C. 90% of the residents are annoyed by noise.
D. Heavy traffic should be kept away from residential areas according to the meeting.
63. Brisbane City Council brought together citizens to talk through solutions to the noise problem mainly due to .
A. the result of the survey carried out by itself
B. a noise complaints system that works
C. people asking for tougher laws on noise
D. requirements of an effective noise complaints system
C
Let These Plants Swat the Bugs for You
Some plants get so hungry they eat flies, spiders, and even small frogs. What’s more amazing is that these plants occur naturally (in special environments) in every state. In fact, they’re found on every continent except Antarctica.
You’ve probably seen a Venus’ flytrap. It’s often sold in museum gift stores, department stores, and even supermarkets. A small plant, it grows 6 to 8 inches tall in a container. At the end of its stalks（茎）are specially modified leaves that act like traps. Inside each trap is a lining of tiny trigger（触发）hairs. When an insect lands on them, the trap suddenly shut. Over the course of a week or so, the plant feeds on its catch.
The Venus’ flytrap is just one of more than 500 species of meat-eating plants, says Barry Meyers-Rice, the editor of the International Carnivorous Plant Society’s Newsletter. Note: Despite any science-fiction stories（科幻小说）you might have read, no meat-eating plant does any danger to humans.
Dr. Meyers-Rice says a plant is meat-eating, only if it does all four of the following: “attract, kill, digest, and absorb” some form of insects , including flies, butterflies, and moths. Meat-eating plants look and act like other green plants—well, most of the time.
All green plants make sugar through a process called photosynthesis（光合作用）. Plants use the sugar to make food. What makes “meat-eating” plants different is their bug-catching leaves. They need insects for one reason: nitrogen（氮）. Nitrogen is a nutrient that they can’t obtain any other way. Why
Almost all green plants on our planet get nitrogen from the soil. “Meat-eating” plants can’t. They live in places where nutrients are hard or almost impossible to get from the soil because of its acidity（酸度）. So they’ve come to rely on getting nitrogen from insects and small animals. In fact, nutrient-rich soil is poisonous to “meat-eating” plants. Never fertilize（施肥）them! But don’t worry, either, if they never seem to catch any insects. They can survive, but they’ll grow very slowly.
64. Venus flytrap
A. is a small plant which grows in a container.
B. is a kind of plant which gets hungry easily.
C. can attract, kill, digest and absorb some form of insects.
D. grows 6-8 inches tall
65. From the passage, we know .
A. “meat-eating” plants are found on every continent.
B. all green plants get nitrogen from the soil.
C. bug-catching leaves make “meat-eating” different from other plants.
D. some “meat-eating” plants in the rainforest do danger to humans.
66. “Meat-eating” plants grow very slowly, .
A. so you’d better fertilize them
B. probably because the source of nitrogen is cut off.
C. simply because they can’t absorb nitrogen from the soil.
D. and then they will die slowly.
67. Which of the following is true
A. “Meat-eating” plants look and act like other green plants.
B. No insects, no “meat-eating” plants.
C. The reason why Venus flytrap needs flies is that it needs to get nutrient from them.
D. Green plants make sugar at night.
68. What does the underlined word nutrient in paragraph 5 probably mean
A. 化学物 B.营养物 C. 肥料 D. 氮氢化合物
D
Psychologists take opposing views of how external rewards, from warm praise to cold cash, affect motivation, and creativity. Behaviorists, who study the relation between actions and their consequences, argue that rewards can improve performance at work and school. Cognitive (认知学派的) researchers, who study various aspects of mental life, maintain that rewards often destroys creativity by encouraging dependence on approval and gifts from others.
The latter view has gained many supporters, especially among educators. But the careful use of small monetary (金钱的) rewards sparks creativity in grade-school children, suggesting that properly presented inducements (刺激) indeed aid inventiveness, according to a study in the June Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
“If kids know they’re working for a reward and can focus on a relatively challenging task, they show the most creativity,” says Robert Eisenberger of the University of Delaware in Newark. “But it’s easy to kill creativity by giving rewards for poor performance or creating too much anticipation for rewards.” A teacher who continually draws attention to rewards or who hands out high grads for ordinary achievement ends up with uninspired students, Eisenberger holds. As an example of the latter point, he notes growing efforts at major universities to tighten grading standards and restore failing grades.
In earlier grades, the use of so-called token economies, in which students handle challenging problems and receive performance-based points toward valued rewards, shows promise in raising effort and creativity, the Delaware psychologist claims.
69. What is the response of many educators to external rewards for their students
A. They have no doubts about them.
B. They have doubts about them.
C. They approve them.
D. They avoid talking about them.
70. Which of the following can best raise students’ creativity according to Robert Eisenberger
A. Assigning them tasks they have not dealt with before.
B. Assigning them tasks which require inventiveness.
C. Giving them rewards they really deserve.
D. Giving them rewards they anticipate.
71. It can be inferred from the passage that major universities are trying to tighten their grading standards because they believe________.
A. Rewarding poor performance may kill the creativity of students
B. Punishment is more effective than rewarding
C. Failing uninspired students help improve their overall academic standards
D. Discouraging the students’ anticipation for easy rewards is a matter of urgency

A century ago in the United States, when an individual brought suit against a company, public opinion tended to protect that company. But perhaps this phenomenon was most striking in the case of the railroads. Nearly half of all negligence cases decided through 1896 involved railroads. And the railroads usually won.
Most of the cases were decided in sate courts, when the railroads had the climate of the times on their sides. Government supported the railroad industry; the progress railroads represented was not to be slowed down by requiring them often to pay damages to those unlucky enough to be hurt working for them.
Court decisions always went against railroad workers. A Mr. Farwell, an engineer, lost his right hand when a switchman’s negligence ran his engine off the track. The court reasoned that since Farwell had taken the job of an engineer voluntarily at good pay, he had accepted the risk. Therefore the accident, though avoidable had the switchmen acted carefully, was a “pure accident”. In effect a railroad could never be held responsible for injury to one employee caused by the mistake of another.
In one case where a Pennsylvania Railroad worker had started a fire at a warehouse and the fire had spread several blocks, causing widespread damage, a jury found the company responsible for all the damage. But the court overturned the jury’s decision because it argued that the railroad’s negligence was the immediate cause of damage only to the nearest buildings. Beyond them the connection was too remote to consider.
As the century wore on, public sentiment began to turn against the railroads—against their economic and political power and high fares as well as against their callousness toward individuals.
72. Which of the following is NOT true in Farwell’s case
A. Farwell was injured because he negligently ran his engine off the track.
B. Farwell would not have been injured if the switchman had been more careful.
C. The court argued that the victim had accepted the risk since he had willingly taken his job.
D. The court decided that the railroad should not be held responsible.
73. What must have happened after the fire case was settled in court
A. The railroad compensated for the damage to the immediate buildings.
B. The railroad compensated for all the damage by the fire.
C. The railroad paid nothing for the damaged building.
D. The railroad worker paid for the property damage himself.
74. The following aroused public resentment EXCEPT _____.
A. political power B. high fares C. economic loss D. indifference
75. What does the passage mainly discuss
A. Railroad oppressing individuals in the US.
B. History of the US railroads.
C. Railroad workers’ working rights.
D. Law cases concerning the railroads.

In Britain there are a number of different kinds of institutions of high education. First of all, of course, there are the universities. Nobody can have failed to have heard of Oxford and Cambridge, the two oldest universities in England, but, of course, there are a large number of other universities, many of which have opened since the war. The latest of these is the Open University, a unique institution, which, as its name suggests, is open to all. Students of the Open University are not required to have any previous qualifications. All the students are part time and are taught over television or radio, although they do receive some personal teaching as well through centers located near their own homes. The first graduates were awarded their degrees in 1973.
Besides the universities there are other institutions such as Polytechnic and Technical Colleges. These tend to offer courses .of a professional nature as well as academic course. If a student wants to study Management, Accounting or Librarianship, for example, he would be more likely to go to one of these institutions. Colleges of Education provide training and education for prospective teachers.

第三部分：阅读理解 （共20小题； 每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
They say a cat has nine lives, and I think that possible since I am now living my third life and I’m not even a cat. My father died when I was 15, and we had a hard struggle to make a living. And my mother, who was seriously ill in her last years, died while still in her 60s. My sister married soon after, and I followed her example within the year.
This was when I began to enjoy my first life. I was very happy, in excellent health. I had a good job in San Jose and a beautiful home up the peninsula (半岛) in San Carlos. Life was a pleasant dream. Then the dream ended. I became afflicted (使苦恼) with a slowly progressive disease of the motor nerves, affecting first my right arm and leg, and then my other side. Thus began my second life….
In spite of my disease I still drove to and from work each day, with the aid of special equipment installed in my car. And I managed to keep my health and optimism (乐观), to a degree, because of 14 steps. Crazy Not at all. Our home was an affair with 14 steps leading up from the garage to the kitchen door. Those steps were a standard measure of life. They were my yardstick, my challenge to continue living. I felt that if the day arrived when I was unable to lift one foot up one step and then drag the other painfully after it ---repeating the process 14 times, I would be through---I could then admit defeat and lie down and die.
Then on a dark night in August, 1971, I began my third life. It was raining when I started home that night; strong winds and slashing rain beat down on the car as I drove slowly down one of the less-traveled roads. Suddenly the steering wheel jerked (猝然一动). In the same instant I heard the bang of a blowout. It was impossible for me to change that tire! Utterly impossible!
I started the engine and thumped slowly along, keeping well over on the shoulder until I came to the dirt road, where I turned in and where I found lighted windows welcomed me to a house and pulled into the driveway and honked the horn.
The door opened and a little girl stood there. When she knew what happened to me, she went into the house and a moment later came out, followed by a man who called a cheerful greeting. I sat there comfortable and dry, and felt a bit sorry for the man and the little girl working so hard in the storm.
About an hour later, the man’s voice was heard, “This is a bad night for car trouble, but you’re all set now.” “Thanks,” I said. “How much do I owe you ” He shook his head, “Nothing. Cynthia told me you were a cripple. Glad to be of help. I know you’d do the same for me. There’s no charge, friend.” I held out a five-dollar bill, “No! I like to pay my way.” He made no effort to take it and the little girl stepped closer to the window and said quietly, “Grandpa can’t see it.”
56. “A cat has nine lives” here means ___________.
A. a cat can live nine times longer than any other animal
a cat can die ninth
a lucky man can not die easily
the writer will live nine times
57. What do you think of the man who helped change the tire
A. Warm-hearted but pitiable
Warm-hearted and happy
A blind old man that has nothing to do every day.
A poor old man that is always ready to help others.
58. How will the story be ended
A. The writer paid the little girl but the old man did not accept.
B. The writer drove away with tears running down his cheek.
C. The writer stayed there, without knowing what to do and how to do.
D. In the next few frozen seconds the writer felt the shame and astonishment he had never felt before.
59. How do you understand the underlined sentence “I followed my sister’s example ”
A. He listened to his sister carefully.
Mother told him that he must get the agreement from his sister for whatever he would do.
His sister got married. He, too.
His sister was a great woman.. He must learn from her.
60. The best title for this passage perhaps will be _____.

If women are mercilessly exploited (利用) year after year, they have only themselves to blame. Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always taken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she has nothing to wear.
Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened; neck-lines are lowered or raised, and son on.
No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with the most important things like warmth, comfort and durability. They are only interested in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasn’t at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, or delicately picking her way through deep snow in high-heeled shoes.
When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion, the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashions of women’s clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability Men are too clever to let themselves be cheated by fashion designer. Do their unchanging styles of dress show basic qualities of stability (稳定) and reliability (可靠) That is for you to decide.
65. Designers and big stores always make money _____.
A. by mercilessly exploiting women workers in the clothing industry
B. because they are capable of predicting new fashions
C. by constantly changing the fashions in women’s clothing
D. because they attach great importance to quality in women’s clothing
66. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE
A. New fashions in clothing are created for the commercial exploitation of women.
The constant changes in women’s clothing reflect their strength of character.
The fashion industry makes an important contribution to society.
Fashion designs should not be encouraged since they are only welcomed by women.
67. By saying “the conclusions to be drawn are obvious” (Paragraph4), the writer means that _____.
women’s inconstancy in their choice of clothing is often laughed at
women are better able to put up with discomfort
men are also exploited greatly by fashion designers
men are more reasonable in the matter of fashion
D
Anthrax (炭疽) is a naturally occurring disease of plant-eating animals caused by the anthrax bacillus (杆菌). It is an illness which has been recognized since ancient times. Anthrax was common essentially in all areas where livestock (=animals kept on a farm, such as sheep and cattle) are raised. Intensive livestock immunization (免疫) programs have greatly reduced the occurrence of the disease among both animals and humans in much of the world. However, outbreaks occurred during the mid-1990’s in Haiti and the former Soviet Union.
Anthrax bacteria are named for the Greek word for coal-anthrakis, because they cause coal-black injury when they infect the skin. Anthrax spores (孢子) can remain viable for several decades (a period of ten years) under suitable environmental conditions; thus, absence of cases does not equate to absence of risk. Humans can contract (=to get to have an illness) anthrax in three ways: through cuts or breaks in the skin resulting from contact with an infected animal, from breathing anthrax sores or eating infected meat.
One day in September, 2001, a 7-month-old son off an ABC producer in Manhattan spent time at the network offices. He developed a rash, and was hospitalized with an unknown illness soon after the visit. He was later diagnosed (诊断) anthrax. This was the beginning of the anthrax scare (=a sudden feeling of fear) created by terrorists throughout the USA and the rest of the world.
68. Where does anthrax come from
A. Human beings. B. Wild animals.
C. Animals fed on plants. D. The ABC producer.
69. What does the underlined word “viable” mean
A. Being able to be seen. B. Dead. C. Being of great value. D. Alive
70. What will happen if livestock receive the immunization against anthrax
A. There will be no anthrax disease in the world.
B. The occurrence of anthrax can be reduced among both animals and humans.
C. Anthrax can be prevented from occurring among animals.
D. nthrax can be prevented from spreading among humans.
71. We can infer from the passage that _____.
the international terrorists might have scared the baby on purpose
people will never suffer from anthrax if they don’t eat the infected meat
the son of an ABC producer might have touched some infected meat
the son of an ABC producer might have breathed the anthrax spores
E
“Down-to-earth” means someone or something that is honest, realistic (现实的) and easy to deal with.
It is a pleasure to find someone who is down-to-earth. A person who is down-to-earth is easy to talk to and accepts other people as equals. A down-to-earth person is just the opposite of someone who acts importantly and proudly.
Down-to-earth person may be important members of society, of course. But they do not let their importance “go to their heads”. They do not consider themselves to be better persons than others of less importance. Someone who is filled with his own importance and pride, often without cause, is said to have “his nose in the air”. There is no way a person with his nose in the air can be down-to-earth.
Americans use another expression that means almost the same as “down-to-earth”. It is “both-feet-on-the-ground”. Someone with “both-feet-on-the-ground” is a person with a good understanding of reality. He has what is called “common sense”. He may have dreams, but he does not allow them to block his knowledge of what is real.
The opposite kind of person is one who has his “head-in-the-clouds”. A man with his “head-in-the-clouds” is a dreamer whose mind is not in the real world.
Sometimes, such a dreamer can be brought back to earth. Sharp words from a teacher can usually bring a day-dreaming student down-to-earth.
Usually, the person who is down-to-earth is very likely to have our both-feet-on-the-ground. When we have our both-feet-on-the-ground, when we are down-to-earth, we act honestly and openly towards others. Our lives are like the ground below us, solid and strong.
72. “But they do not let their importance ‘go to their heads’” means that _____.
A. they are important but they do not want to be important
B. they do not show out that they are much better than others
C. they think others are less important but they do not look down upon them
D. they have a calm mind and are not proud of their importance
73. After reading this passage, what do you think a person with both-feet-on-the-ground is like
A. He/She is a person who is honest, modest, realistic and easy to go with.
He/She is a person who is kind to others and never looks down upon them.
He/She is a person who thinks they themselves are less important than others.
He/She is a person who never thinks they themselves are a lot better tan others.
74. “Common sense” here means _____.
A. real sense without dreaming
B. the sense of correct understanding and judging
C. not special senses, but common
D. the senses of ordinary people
75. If you want to be a person who is down-to-earth, you’d better _____.
listen to your teacher’s sharp words often
act importantly and proudly
act honestly and openly towards others
do more important things

Ted worked in a factory, but he was not very good, and he lost his job one day. His wife looked in the newspaper and said, “One of the banks wants a guard.”
“I’m going there tomorrow,” Ted said, “and I’m going to ask for that job. It’s quite an easy one, and I’m quite strong.”
The next morning he went to the bank at half past nine and said, “I want that job here. The guard’s job.”
A man gave him a piece of paper. There were a lot of questions on it. “Write your answers under the questions,” the man said to Ted.
One of the questions was “Have you ever been in prison ”
Ted smiled happily and wrote “No” under this question.
Then he looked at the next question. It was “Why ”
He thought for a moment and then he wrote, “Because the police have never caught me.”2007高考英语综合练习（四）

At the end of my presidency, I picked a few special places to say goodbye and thanks to the American people. One of them was Chicago, where Hillary was born; where I all but gained the Democratic nomination(提名) on St. Patrick's Day 1992; where many of my most ardent热心的) supporters live and many of my most important domestic measures in crime, welfare, and education were proved effective; and, of course, where my parents went to live after the war. I used to joke with Hillary that if my father hadn't lost his life on that rainy Missouri highway, I would have grown up a few miles from her and we probably never would have met. My last event was in the Palmer House Hotel, scene of the only photo I have of my parents together, taken just before Mother came back to Hope in 1946. After the speech and the good-byes, I went into a small room where I met a woman, Mary Etta Rees, and her two daughters. She told me she had grown up and gone to high school with my mother, then had gone north to Indiana to work in a war industry, married, stayed, and raised her children. Then she gave me another precious gift: the letter my twenty-three-year-old mother had written on her birthday to her friend, three weeks after my father's death, more than fifty-four years earlier. It was vintage Mother. In her beautiful hand, she wrote of her heartbreak and her determination to carry on: "It seemed almost unbelievable at the time but you see I am six months pregnant and the thought of our baby keeps me going and really gives me the whole world before me."

Have you ever heard the old saying ,"Never judge a book by its cover" This is a good rule to follow when trying to judge the intelligence(智力 ) of others .Some people have minds that shine only in certain situations .A young people with an unusual gift in writing may find himself speechless in the presence of a pretty girl when he speaks .He may not be able to find the right words . But don't make mistake of thinking him stupid , with a pen and a paper, he can express himself better than anybody .
Other people may fool you into overestimating (过高估计) their intelligence by putting up a good front. A student who listens attentively and takes notes in class is sure to make a favorable impression on his teachers .But when it comes to exams, he may score near the bottom of the class .
It all boils down to this : you can't judge someone by appearance . The only way to determine (测定) a person's intelligence is to get to know him. Then you can see how he reacts (反应) to different situations. The more situation you see ,the better your judgment is likely to be. So take your time. Don't judge a book by its cover .

Internet shopping is a new way of shopping. You no longer need to walk round hundreds of shops looking for the items you need. Nowadays, you can shop for just about anything from your armchair. All you need is a computer which is linked to the Internet. Shopping on the Internet is becoming increasingly popular. In the United States, 50 percent of families have computers at home and almost one third are linked to the Internet. Americans spent over US $ 2.5 billion on Internet shopping in 1998. This figure is expected to reach USS 11 billion by the year 2004.
People can shop for a variety of products on the Internet. Physical products include items such as books, CDs, clothes and food. These types of products are the most common purchases (购入品) through the Internet. You can also buy information products such as on-line news or magazine stories, or you can download computer software through the Internet. Services such as booking airline tickets, reserving (预定) hotels or renting cars are also available (可得到的) on the Internet. You can also go shopping on the Internet for entertainment services and take part in on-line games or e-mail "chats".
Internet shopping offers a number of benefits (好处) for the shopper. The most important advantage is convenience. You can shop when you like as the on-line shops are open 24 hours a day, and you do not have to queue with other shoppers at the check-out counters. Secondly, it is easy to find what you are looking for on the Internet. Even out-of-print books may be ordered on line. Finally, it is often cheaper to buy goods through the Internet, and you can tell the shop exactly what you want.
The main disadvantage of Internet shopping is that you cannot actually see the products you are buying or check their quality. Also, many people enjoy shopping in the city and miss the opportunity to talk to friends. Some people are worried about paying for goods using credit cards, so Internet companies are now finding ways to make on-line payment safe.
Internet shopping is sure to become more and more popular in the years ahead. It promises
to change the way we buy all kinds of things -- from tonight's dinner to a new car.
64. About ______ of American families have computers connected to the Internet.
A. 50% B. 33% C. 16% D. 66%
65.According to the passage which of the following is a physical product .
A. E-mail “chats” B. News stories C. A dictionary D. An entertainment service
66. The second paragraph mainly tells us ________.
the advantages of Internet shopping
the different ways of Internet shopping
how you can buy different products on the Internet
what variety of goods you can buy on the Internet
67. We can learn from the passage that ______.
the way of Internet shopping needs to be improved
the quality of goods is high but the price is lower
you can chat with your friends while doing Internet shopping
the best thing about Internet shopping is the speed the goods are delivered at
D
What should you think about in trying to find your career You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work .So it is important to do well at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. Knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.?
Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metal work or cookery(烹饪术)and look for a job where you can improve these skills.?
If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part-time job.?
Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle(运用)tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work..
68. Which of the following best sums up the first paragraph
The importance of doing well at school.
B. Using school performance to help to choose a career.
C. The importance of being good at all subjects.
D. The indirect value of schoolwork.
69. The writer thinks that for a student to have a part-time job is probably ____.
A. a waste of time that could have been spent on study
B. useful for his future work
C. a good way to earn extra money
D. a good way to find out his weak points
70. According to the passage, if a student’s school record is not good, he ____.
A. will be a complete failure in his future work
B. will not be able to find a suitable job
C. will regret not having worked harder at school
D. may do well in his future work
71. Which subject is supposed to have no direct value for job hunting
A. Mathematics. B. English. C. Technical drawing. D. History.
72. The whole passage centers on ____.
A. choosing a career according to what one is skilled in
B. acquiring knowledge by working hard at school
C. finding one’s strong and weak points
D. developing one’s abilities useful in school work

Bill and Nancie Carmichael are the former publishers of Virtue and Christian Parenting Today Magazines. In addition, they are the authors of twelve books. Major publishers such as Tyndale, Thomas Nelson, Harvest House, Baker, and Crossway have published their work. They are also popular seminar (学术讲座) and conference speakers.
Most unpublished writers do not get the kind of consideration they deserve from book publishers, simply because most publishers are flooded with thousands of book proposals and unsolicited manuscripts（稿件）. Because of the significant reward of the industry, the publishers often play it safe and like to go with proven writers. They simply don't want to (or can't) take the risk on new writers.
As a result, some new authors get caught up in "vanity（虚荣）publishing." Such companies may help you "print" your book, but offer nothing in the way of editing, creative design, or marketing and distribution. When an author decides to self-publish in this manner, they often come away with a poorly designed, poorly edited book with no distribution（发行）plan. They are left to sell what they can to their own sphere of influence and the rest of their books gather dust in their garage.
73.Publishers do not like to publish new writers’ books mainly because________.
there are thousands of books to be published
they doubt whether they can earn money
it is dangerous to have new writers’ work published
new writers do not have enough money to have their books published
74. If new writers have their books published,_______.
the publishing company will help them with distribution
the publishing company will offer nothing but the help of editing and designing
they will sell their books themselves
they will keep their books in their garage
75. From the passage we can infer that _______.
publishers are willing to publish the work of writers proven successful
major publishers such as Tyndale are very famous speakers
new writers often sell their books in their garage
All books published are sold by publishing companies

making great noises. It stops as soon as he turns the car off. But by then Brian and Lisa are wide awake.
　 M: Oh, no.
　 W: Oh, yes. Sometimes it takes us until midnight just to get them to settle down again.
　 M: Have you tried talking to them
　 W: We haven’t even really met them yet except to say a quick hello.
　 M: You are not going to like them when you do meet them, I dare say.
W: I know, but I feel stupid complaining. Well, you know how early I have to get up to be here at the office. I’m just not getting enough sleep and neither are the children.
M: Maybe you could go over sometime with a little gift. Then you could ask about their son and they’ll be sure to ask about yours.
　 W: Yeah.
M: Then you could mention that the hardest thing at present is getting your children to
sleep at night.

Dear editor,
I’m writing to tell you about the discussion we recently had about whether our parents should accompany us studying at school.
We do have different opinions on this matter. Most of us (about 70%)think our parents should not accompany us studying at school since it make us fall into the habit of dependence, so that we won’t form the good habit of studying. What’s more, it is harmful for us to form the habit of controlling ourselves. At the same time it affects our parents’ work, studies and rest.
While about 30%of my classmates think it necessary for our parents to accompany us studying at school. Accompanying us studying at school can let us have more time to spare for our studies. Besides, we shall be more healthy for their cooking. On the other hand our parents can help us set up our aim, urge us to finish our task, encourage us to overcome difficulties and get us into the good habit of studying..
Yours truly,
Li Hua
