Some talked of jobs they already had, others talked of jobs they 38 get. With the certainty of four years of college, they felt 39 and able to take control of the world.
The coming exam, they knew, would be a(n) 40 task, as the professor had said they could bring 41 books or notes they wanted, requesting only that they did not 42 each other during the test.
43 they entered the classroom. The professor passed out the papers. And smiles 44 on the students’ faces as they found there were only five questions.
Three hours had passed 45 the professor began to collect papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was a frightened expression. Papers in hand, no one spoke as the professor faced the class.
He looked at the 46 faces before him, and then asked: “How many completed all five questions?” 47 a hand was raised.
“How many answered four?” Still no hand.
“Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats.
“One, then? Certainly somebody finished 48 .” But the class remained silent.
The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I 49 ,” he said. “I just want you to know that, although you have completed four years of study, there are 50 many things about the 51 you don’t know. These questions you could not answer are relatively common in everyday 52 .” Then, smiling, he added, “You will all 53 this course, but remember—even though you are now college graduates, your education had just 54 .”

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、D)中选出最佳选项
A
Most Chinese people don't understand why some westerners don't eat meat. In China, to eat meat is a sign of wealth. If a westerner doesn't take a bite of their Peking duck, there is something wrong.
But many people in Europe and America choose not to eat meat or fish — they are known as vegetarians. In the US alone there are 12 million vegetarians and 19,000 more people stop eating meat every week.
People often become vegetarians in order to lose weight or eat more healthily. A lot of research has shown that vegetarian diets are healthier than the average western diet. Fried chicken may be delicious to eat, but all that extra fat can damage your heart
There are many other reasons for "turning veggie". It could be that you cannot afford to buy meat. Or maybe you just don't like the taste of it.
A large number of vegetarians choose to give up meat because they believe it is cruel to kill animals for food. They believe many animals are not allowed to live in comfort and, when they are killed, it is carried out in a very painful way.
While some vegetarians are happy not to eat animals, others take it one step further and refuse to eat any animal product. They are known as vegans and will not eat cheese, yoghurt and eggs, or drink milk. Neither will they wear clothes or shoes made from animal skin, such as leather. They say that if it is wrong to kill an animal for food, it is worse to kill it for clothing.
But there are some groups that go even further. Fruitarians believe it is wrong to kill any living plant or animal. Besides refusing to eat meat, they will only eat fruit and vegetables that have not been killed when harvested. This means they cannot take an apple from a tree: they must wait until the apple falls to the ground. Only then can it be considered dead.
56 A lot of ___ choose to give up meat because they believe it is cruel to kill animals for food.A. vegans B. vegetarians C. fruitarians D. researchers 57 According to the text, "vegetarians" refer to people who ___.A. choose not to eat meat or fish B. choose to eat meat or fish C. choose not to eat protein D. choose to vegetables 58 According to the text, which one of the following is not mentioned?A. Only in China, there are so many people eat meat.B. There are many vegetarians in Europe.C. Vegetarian diets are healthier than the average western diet.D. There are many reasons for people turning vegetarians. 59 The main idea of the passage: _______.
A. Meat is harmful to health B. Vegetarian diets are popularC. Food and health D. Meat and health
60 There are many other reasons for "turning veggie". "veggie" refers to ___.A. vegetable B. vegan C. vegetarian D. fruitarian

What comes into your mind when you think about robots? Do you imagine armies of evil metal monsters planning to take over the world? Or, perhaps of mechanical men who have been created as guards or soldiers by a mad genius? Or maybe you think of man- like robots who act, think, and look like human beings. In fact robots like these have more to do with science fiction films than with real life. In the real world robots are machines that do jobs which otherwise have to be done by people. Robots either operate by themselves or under the control of a person.
In a car factory, for example, robot machinery can put together and paint car bodies. On the sea bed remote controlled(遥控)underwater machines with mechanical arms can perform tasks too difficult for divers. Robot spacecraft can explore the solar system and send back information about planets and stars.
Many robots have computer brains. Some robots are fitted with cameras, sensors, and microphones which enable them to see, to feel, and to hear. And some robots can even produce electronic speech.
All this does not mean that a robot can think and behave like a human being. Present day robots have to be programmed with a good deal of information before they can carry out even simple tasks.
61. Robots in real life________.
A. can behave like human beings B. have the ability to control the world
C. can think by themselves D. can help us with a lot of work
62. According to this article, which of the following is not true about robots in the real world?
A. Some robots are as creative as artists. B. Some robots can help manufacture cars.
C. Some robots can see and hear. D. Some robots can explore outer space.
63. Robots can perform many tasks for man because________.
A. they have intelligence B. they are supplied with computer programs
C. they can imitate human beings D. they have the ability to learn new things
64.The robots in science fiction films and those in real life differ mainly in________.
A. mentality B. appearance C. material D. size
C
Female Chinese space pioneers?
CHINA plans to recruit(招募)women astronauts thanks to the lobbying of the leading women’s organization. Gu Xiulian, president of the All-China Women’s Federation(ACWF)(全国妇联), said on Saturday that she put forward a proposal that women be trained for space missions after the manned space flight last October. And it was accepted by the central authorities(当局,官方), local media reported. But the plan to recruit female astronauts has yet to be worked out, according to sources close to the astronaut training programme.
Beijing needs mental health care
MORE than 1,100 people committed suicide(自杀)in Beijing last year, and experts have been encouraging the capital to set up a mental health care system as soon as possible, local media reported last week. About 20 per cent of the people of Beijing live in unhealthy conditions, with 3 per cent of these suffering from affective disorder and 5 per cent reporting symptoms(症状)of depression, according to the Beijing Mental Health Service Centre.
No need to fear your licence plate
CAR licence plates in Shenzhen and Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, will not have the number ‘four’from this month on -a move that has led to heated discussion among officials, scholars(learned men)and residents. The word for ‘four’sounds like ‘death’in Cantonese. The numeral has been cleared away from the computer data banks that generate the six-digit licence numbers for local cars. Some say that, for the first time, a public agency service has considered local customs and bans. Others worry it will encourage superstitious(迷信的)beliefs.
65. We can infer from the news that ________.
A. there are several female astronauts in China now
B. people in Guangdong province hate number‘four’
C. the mental disorder concerns everybody all over the country
D. the city government of Beijing has promised to set up a mental health care system
66. The underlined sentence in the third news means that _______.
A. there is no number ‘four’in the computers in Shengzhen
B. computer is used to print six-digit car licence numbers
C. local cars will be protected to use six-digit car licence numbers
D. number‘four’will no longer appear in the six-digit car licence numbers
67. What is the message of the first news?
A. China only needs male astronauts.
B. Gu Xiu Lian wants to be the first space woman.
C. Society doesn’t discriminate(歧视)against women in China.
D. The astronaut training programme hasn’t been planned.
D
A sense of humor is just one of the many things shared by Alfred and Anthony Melillo, 64-year-old twin brothers from East Haven who made history in February 2002. On Christmas Eve, 1992, Anthony had a heart transplant from a 21-year-old donor. Two days before Valentine’s Day in 2002, Alfred received a 19-year-old heart, marking the first time on record that twin adults each received heart transplants
“I’m 15 minutes older than him, but now I’m younger because of my heart and I’m not going to respect him,” Alfred said with a grin, pointing to his brother while talking to a roomful of reporters, who laughed frequently at their jokes.
While the twins knew that genetics might have played a role in their condition, they recognized that their eating habits might have also contributed to their heart problems. “We’d put half a pound of butter on a steak. I overdid it on all the food that tasted good, so I guess I deserved what I got for not dieting properly.”
The discussion moved to Anthony’s recovery. In the five years since his heart transplant, he had been on an exercise program where he regularly rode a bicycle for five miles, swam each day, and walked a couple of miles. He was still on medication, but not nearly as much as Alfred, who was just in the early stage of his recovery.
“Right now I feel pretty young and I’m doing very well,” Anthony said. “I feel like a new person.”
Alfred said his goal, of course, was to feel even better than his brother. But, he added, “I love my brother very much. We’re very close and I’m sure we’ll do just fine.”
68. This article is mainly about _________.
A. the danger of heart transplant surgery B. becoming young by getting a new heart
C. the effect of genetics on the heart D. the twin brothers who received heart transplants
69. What did Alfred and Anthony have in common?
A. Lifespan. ?????????????? B. Career goals. C. A sense of humor.??? D. Love for bicycling.
70.What did Alfred and Anthony think caused their heart problems?
A. Exercise. ?????????????? B. Diet. C. Surgery. ??????????????? D. Medicines.
71. Why did Alfred say, “I’m 15 minutes older than him, but now I’m younger because of my heart”?
A. His heart transplant surgery was more successful than Anthony’s.
B. His recovery from the heart surgery was faster than Anthony’s.
C. His exercise program was better than Anthony’s.
D. His new heart was younger than Anthony’s.

The goals of public health are to prevent human disease, injury, and disability; protect people from environmental health hazards; promote behaviors that lead to good physical and mental health; educate the public about health; and assure availability of high-quality health services.
Public health systems vary in different parts of the world, depending upon the prevalent health problems in the developing world, where sanitation(卫生)problems and limited medical resources persist, infectious disease are the most significant threat to public health. Public health officials devote resources to establish sanitation systems and immunization programs to curb the spread of infectious diseases, and provide routine medical care to rural and isolated populations. In industrialized nations, sanitary food and water supplies and excellent medical resources have reduced rates of infectious disease. Instead, accidents and diseases such as lung cancer, heart attacks, and strokes are among the leading causes of death. In these areas, public health goals include education programs to teach people how to prevent accidents and lesson their risk for disease, and the maintenance of the excellent disease prevention systems already established.
Public health workers may engage in activities outside the scope of ordinary medical practice.
These include inspecting and licensing restaurants; checking the safety of housing, water, and food supplies. In assuring overall community health, public health officials also act as advocates(倡导者)for laws and regulations—such as during licensing or product labeling requirements.
Most people think of public health workers as physicians and nurses, but a wide variety of other professionals work in public health, including sanitary engineers, microbiologists, laboratory technicians, statisticians, economists, administrators.
72.The underlined word“curb”in the second paragraph means_______.
A. expend B. control C. save D. collect
73. From the text it may imply that the lung cancer today can be highly found in________.
the developing countries B. the developed countries C. the urban area D. the suburbs
74.Which of the following is NOT the goal of the public health from the text?
To prevent human disease, injury ,and disability;
To protect people from environmental health hazards.
To educate the public about manners;
To strengthen availability of high-quality health services.
75.Public health workers may engage in the following activities EXCEPT______.
body operation B. inspecting and licensing restaurants
C. checking the safety of food supplies D. doing housework

One possible version
The students of our school had a discussion about whether listening test in the National Matriculation English Test should be kept or canceled. Some students think that listening test should not be canceled. They insist listening is among the four basic skills. We therefore can not ignore it. Besides, listening is one of the important channels for us to get information from the outside world. So it should be strengthened today when international cooperation is becoming more and more frequent. But others don’t agree. They think not everyone has to communicate with foreigners in the future. Moreover, listening test is unfair to the students in the areas where radio signals cannot be picked up effectively. And for certain reasons, there is a big difference in teachers and equipment between the countryside and the city.

He saw the station in a new light. Here was a mass of human beings, some black, some white, and some brown like himself. Here they mixed with one another, yet each mistrusted the other with an unnatural fear. Each treated the other with suspicion, each moved in a narrow, haunted pattern of its own manufacture. One must challenge(挑战) these things the speaker had said, in one’s own way. Yet how in one’s own way? How was one to challenge? Slowly it dawned upon(使…明白) him. Here was his chance, the bench. The railway bench with the legend(传说) “European Only” neatly painted on it in South African society. For one moment it symbolized(标志着) all the misery of the whole South African society. Here was a challenge to his rights as a man. There it stood, a perfectly ordinary wooden railway bench, like hundreds of thousands of others in South Africa. His challenge. That bench, now, had concentrated in it all the evils(邪恶,不幸) of a system he could not understand. It was the obstacle(障碍) between himself and humanity. If he sat on it he was a man. If he was afraid he denied(否认) himself membership as a human in a human society. He almost had visions of righting the damned system if only he sat on that bench. Here was his chance. He, Karlie, would challenge.

There are different ideas about pets in different parts of the world. Usually animals have a lower position to humans beings. However, some people treat their pets like members of their families, or perhaps better. In the United States and Europe, where pets are very popular, there are special shops that sell jewelry, clothing, and best food for cats and dogs. There are shops on fashionable(上流社会所喜好的) streets in New York City, for example, that sell gold and diamond collars(项), fur jackets, hats, and so on for pets.
In many countries of the world, there is special food for pets. It is common for big shops in many places to sell cat food and dog food. However, in Nice, France, there is a special restaurant for dogs. Dogs are the only customers. There is seating for twenty of them. On the menu , there is a special variety of dishes for the dogs to choose from. There is a sausage(香肠) dish and a turkey(火鸡) dish, among others. For sweet food, there is a variety of French cheeses and, of course, dog biscuits(饼干).
In the United States, there is a very rich cat who can afford to go to any restaurant he chooses. His name is Kitty Cat. Kitty Cat got one hundred thousand dollars when his owner died. Besides, the owner left Kitty Cat a beautiful house to live in. There is a person who comes to the house every day to feed and take care of Kitty Cat.
Of course, in most parts of the world, pets don’t live in such good conditions. There is a more practical attitude toward pets. People own cats and dogs because they keep away mice and other unwanted animals. Certainly, owners generally have some affectionate(慈爱的) feelings for their pets. However, they do not see them as equal to family members. In most places in the world, there isn’t any special clothing, or jewelry, or special food for animals. There aren’t any special restaurants for dogs. There are no rich cats who live in houses.
Pets around the world live in a great variety of ways, just as people do.

A.dogs enjoy fine restaurants and beautiful valuable clothing.
B.a cat may be rich enough to go to any restaurant.

65.We can learn from the passage that
A.in all dogs’ restaurants, dogs have cheese for sweet food.
B.in some parts of the world, there is special food, clothing and jewelry for dogs.
C.some people spend more money on their pets than they could afford.
D.New York City has a lot of fashionable shops for pets.

Scientists around the world have been studying the warming of waters in the Pacific Ocean known as EL Nino. The appearance of EL Nino is known to affect(影响) weather around the world. Scientists still do not completely understand it. Yet they now find they can use it to tell about the future in different areas of the world.
One example is the work of two scientists at Celumbia University in New York, Mark Came and Gordor Eshel. A scientist from Zimbabwe, Roger Buckland worked with them. They have found that when EL Nino appears, Zimbabwe has little or no rain. This means corn crops in Zimbabwe are poor. The last EL Nino was in 1991 to 1993. That was when southeastern Africa suffered a serious lack of rain.
The scientists wrote about their recent work in the publication Nature. Their computer program can tell when an EL Nino will develop up to a year before it does. They suggest that this could provide an effective(有效的) early warning system for southern Africa, and could prevent many people from starving.
72.What is EL Nino?
