I arrived in the classroom, ready to share my knowledge and experience with 76 students who would be my English literature class. Having 36 in the US for 17 years, I had no doubt about my ability to 37 their attention and to impress on them my admiration for the 38
of my mother tongue.
I was 39 when the monitor shouted, "Stand up!" The entire class 40 as I entered the room, and I was somewhat 41 about how to get them to sit down again, 42 once that embarrassment was over, I quickly 43 my calmness and admiration. I went back to my 44 with the rosy glow which came from a strong sense of 45 .
My students kept 46 . However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually replaced by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said, "Our 47 teacher didn't teach us anything today. Perhaps her next lecture will be better." Greatly 48 , I read diary after diary, each expressing a 49 theme. "Didn't I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical （哲学）framework(框架) of Western thought and laid the historical background for all the works we'll study in class," I 50 .
"How should they say I didn't teach them anything?"
It was a long term, and it 51 became clear that my ideas about 52 were not the same as those of my students. I thought a teacher's job was to 53 interesting questions and provide enough background so that students could 54 their own conclusions. My students thought a teacher's job was to provide exact information as directly and clearly as possible. What a difference!
55 , I also learned a lot, and the experience with my Chinese students has made me a better American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture.

Every human being has a unique arrangement of the skin on his fingers and this arrangement is unchangeable. Scientists and experts have proved the uniqueness of finger-prints and discovered that no exactly similar pattern is passed on from parents to children, though nobody knows why this is the case.
The ridge（指纹）structure on a person’s fingers does not change with growth and is not affected by surface injuries. Burns, cuts and other damage to the outer part of the skin will be replaced in time by new one, which bears a reproduction of the original pattern. It is only when the inner skin is injured that the arrangement will be destroyed. Some criminals make use of this fact to remove their own finger-prints but this is a dangerous and rare step to take.
Finger-prints can be made very easily with printer’s ink. They can be recorded easily. With special methods, identification can be achieved successfully within a short time. Because of the simplicity and economy of this system, finger-prints have often been used as a method of solving criminal case. A suspected man may deny a charge but this may be in vain. His finger-prints can prove who he is even if his appearance has been changed by age or accident.
When a suspect leaves finger-prints behind at the scene of a crime, they are difficult to detect with the naked eye. Special techniques are used to “develop” them. Some of the marks found are incomplete but identification is possible if a print of a quarter of an inch square can be obtained.
59. Scientists and experts have proved that the pattern of a human being’s finger skin _____ .
A. is similar to his mother’s B. is valuable to himself only
C. is like that of others with the same type of blood
D. is different from that of all others
60. If your fingers are wounded by knife, fire or other means, the structure of skin will ___.
A. be changed partly B. be replaced by a different one
C. be the same when the wound is recovered D. become ugly
61. Some criminals remove their own finger-prints by ________.
A. using printer’s ink B. injuring the inner skin
C. damaging the outer skin D. damaging the colour
62. Finger-prints have often been used as a method of solving criminal case because it____.
A. is complicated but reliable B. is simple and not expensive
C. is expensive but easy to do D. can bring a lot of money

Despite the cold morning wind in Montreal last weekend, Ahmad AI-Bahely was busy handing out candies. He was overjoyed at hearing that Saddam Hussein had been sentenced to death.
"That's how we celebrate in Iraq," said the 15-year-old high school student. AI-Bahely's family was forced to leave Iraq in 1991 after the first Gulf War. They fled life under Saddam Hussein for a new beginning in Canada. "We are proud that this terrible man will get what he deserves ."
An Iraqi court has sentenced Saddam, 69, to death after a 13-month trial. He was found responsible for the killings of 148 people in a village, north of Baghdad in 1982. The murders were carried out in revenge for an attempt on Saddam's life.
Thousands of Iraqis oppressed (被压迫的) during Saddam's 24-year rule took to the streets to celebrate. Meanwhile, groups near Saddam's hometown of Tikrit gathered to support the former president. "We'll avenge you, Saddam," the crowd shouted.
But many simply remained calm. "Whether Saddam lives or dies is not important to me." said Imad Mohammed, a computer engineer. "I'm not even sure whether my family and I will live or die."
Iraqis were not the only ones to have different views on the court's decision.The international community was also divided over the sentence.
US President George W. Bush called the trial a milestone in the Iraqi people's efforts to replace a tyrant (暴君) with the rule of law. But many European countries said Saddam should not be put to death. The Catholic Church called the sentence "eye for an eye" revenge.
Islamic leaders warned that hanging Saddam could lead to revenge by Saddam's supporters, deepening the rift (不和) in the war-torn country. According to new research by a leading US university, over 650,000 Iraqis have been killed since the 2003 Iraq War began.
"They blame Saddam for killing people. But who will judge the leaders for the killings that happen every day now?" said 30-year-old Bahjat. He refused to give his full name out of fear.
"The sentence is just an important settlement with the past, but the big challenge for Iraq's people is the future. Big compromises are required for lasting freedom and secured peace," said Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt.
63. From the story, we can conclude that the death sentence given to Saddam is ______.
A. good news for the world peace
B. to cause controversy among people around the world
C. bad for Iraq because it will cause more fighting
D. what Iraqis have expected for a long time
64. What can we learn from what Abroad AI-Bahely said?
A. Some people felt sorry for Saddam. B. He sells candies as his part time job.
C. Only students in Iraq hated Saddam. D. Many people in Iraq hated Saddam.
65.Which of the following statements about Saddam Hussein is WRONG?
A. He is 69 years old. B. He killed over 650,000 Iraqis.
C. He ruled Iraq for 24 years. D. He will probably be hanged.
66. According to what Imad Mohammed and Bahjat said, we know that __________.
A. they care more about their present and future lives
B. Iraqis don't value their lives very much
C. some Iraqis don't care about the future of their country
D. Iraqis are opposed to the death penalty
67. The passage is mainly about _________.
A. what kind of life Iraqis are living now
B. why Saddam was sentenced to death
C. how people reacted to Saddam's death sentence
D. what effect the death of Saddam will have
D
In the past ten years, America’s National Basketball Association (NBA) has grown increasingly dependent on the rest of the world to supply players.
When Michael Jordan and Larry Bird won gold in Barcelona in 1992, the Americans were praised for teaching the world how to play basketball. This season, however, 20 percent of NBA rosters（花名册）will be filled by non-Americans. NBA commissioner David Stem happily embraces the trend. On a visit to Paris in October, Stern outlined his vision for the future, which is likely to see Europe hosting NBA games by 2010.
The NBA is now planning to take China by storm.
“Our experience in China has been that it is going to be explosive in its growth,” said Stern. The strategy in China is television. “We’ve made 14 deals in China with local and national networks on cable and satellite.” The success of Chinese centre Yao Ming has paved the way for the NBA marketing blitz in China. The NBA, which is broadcasted in more than 200 countries in 42 languages, will put that to the test in October 2004 when the Houston Rockets play two pre-season games against the Sacramento Kings in Beijing and Shanghai. The NBA knows that it needs a global market to compensate for tough times on home soil.
“It doesn’t matter where the players come from, all the NBA teams now know that they have to scout(寻找) internationally,” said Terry Lyons, the NBA’s vice-president of international public relations. “It has increased the level of competition here.” As Frenchman Tony Parker and Argentine Emanuel Ginobili showed in winning championship rings with the San Antonio Spurs last season, many people can earn the respect of their American peers. Others, such as the Houston Rockets’ Chinese centre Yao Ming — number one draft pick in 2002 — and the Detroit Pistons’ 18-year-old Serb Darko Milicic — number two overall in this year’s draft — are icons(偶像)in-waiting. It is the ultimate(根本的)revolution — the rest of the world teaching the US how to play basketball.
68. According to the report, .
A. Michael Jordan is still playing a very important role in NBA
B. the part played by the foreign players in NBA will be great
C. Yao Ming is to play two pre-season games in NBA
D. European countries will host the 2004 NBA games
69. The underlined phrase “take China by storm” has the meaning of .
A. NBA intends to make China its “marketing center”
B. NBA is planning to set up some training centers in China
C. there’ll be a big storm when NBA comes to China to play against the Sacramento Kings
D. the NBA’s live basket games will be broadcasted on all the TVs in China
70. What seems to be the biggest change that is happening to NBA?
A. NBA is expecting more foreign players to join the league.
B. China’s rapid development in sports affects NBA.
C. Yao Ming has taken the place of Michael Jordan.
D. The NBA will stop teaching the world how to play basketball.
71. When the writer talked of “home soil”, he was referring to .
A. farms in the States B. native Americans
C. the NBA training center D. the USA
72. Which of the following can be used as the best title for the passage?
A. The Non-American Basketball Players B. NBA Is Coming to China
C. The Foreign Ties That Bind (约束) the NBA D. NBA Is Making Big Progress
第二节 阅读写作 （每题2分，共三道题，满分6分）
阅读下面短文，根据文后各题的具体要求回答问题。
According to sociologists, there are several different ways in which a person may become recognized as the leader of a social group. In the family, traditional cultural patterns confer（赠与） leadership on one or both of the parents. In other cases, such as friendship groups, one or more persons may gradually emerge（显现） as leaders, although there is no formal process of selection. In larger groups, leaders are usually chosen formally through election or recruitment.
Although leaders are often thought to be people with unusual personal ability, decades of research have failed to produce consistent(可靠的) evidence that there is any category of “natural leaders”. It seems that there is no set of personal qualities that all leaders have in common; rather, virtually（actually）any person may be recognized as a leader if the person has qualities that meet the needs of that particular group.
Research suggests that there are typically two different leadership roles that are held by different individuals. Instrumental leadership is leadership that emphasizes the completion of tasks by a social group. Group members look to instrumental leaders to “get things done”. Expressive（有表现力的）leadership, on the other hand, is leadership that emphasizes the collective（集体的）well beings of a social group’s members. Expressive leaders are less concerned with the overall goals of the group than with providing emotional support to group members and attempting to minimize（将...减到最少）tension and conflict among them.
Instrumental leaders are likely to have a rather secondary relationship to other group members. They give orders and may discipline group members who prevent attaining the group’s goals. Expressive leaders cultivate(培养) a more personal or primary relationship to others in the group. They offer sympathy when someone experiences difficulties and try to resolve issues that threaten to divide the group. As the difference in these two roles suggest, expressive leaders generally receive more personal affection from group members; instrumental leaders, if they are successful in achieving group goals, may enjoy a more distant respect.
73. Find in the passage a word closest in meaning to the underlined word “attaining”.
74. What do expressive leaders generally focus on ? （回答词数不超过7个）
75. What does the passage mainly discuss? （回答词数不超过6个）

As the US wakes up to China’s rising status(地位) as an economic and strategic competitor, US parents are urging their children to learn Chinese, reports Julian Borger.
The US is being swept by a rush to learn Mandarin(普通话) -- from wealthy New York mothers hiring Chinese nannies (保姆)for their small children to a defence department education project in Oregon.
The forces driving Mandarin’s momentum (势头) are parental ambition for children facing a future in which China is almost certain to be a major player, and the government is worried about that America may get left behind in that new world.
The bottleneck（困难）is the supply of teachers. Mandarin instructors are difficult to import and difficult to train. There are visa problems in bringing over teachers from China but the biggest barrier is cultural. Teaching in Asia is generally done by rote and the change to western, interactive styles of instruction can be a large leap（跳越）.
On the other hand, it requires enormous firmness for westerners to learn a language like Chinese, with its thousands of written characters. According to the Asia Society in New York, all of America’s teacher-training institutions turn out only a couple of dozen homegrown Mandarin teachers.
One way to ease the shortage is to find native Mandarin speakers and use fast-track methods to train them. However, the majority of Chinese-Americans grew up speaking Cantonese, the dialect（方言） spoken in Hong Kong, where their parents came from. Many are themselves signing on as Mandarin students at the private language schools springing up on the west coast.

参考范文1：
I Prefer to Live in the City
I was brought up in the city. And I love to live in the city ,where there are so many things to do. We can see movies or chat on the net with friends, go to gyms after work, or visit museums in weekends. I love to see people around, but the country is too quiet. There's no night life in the countryside. And there are much fewer TV channels, so it must be so boring to live in the countryside. Meanwhile, there are no jobs in the countryside and we can make no money there. Frankly speaking, city life is much more colorful and meaningful than country life.
参考范文2：
I Prefer to Live in the Countryside
I prefer to live in the countryside not because I was born in the countryside but because I like the country life .
In the country the air is fresher and there is less pollution , which is very good for health . What’s more , the countryside is far from the noise and not crowded , as is often the case in the city . Though perhaps we make less money in the countryside , we still lead a happy life because we needn’t so much money. We can grow our own food and enjoy “the really green food” .
As a whole , I think the country life is much better for people’s health than the city life .

（Text 10）
How can teachers carry out a co-operative learning lesson?
First, the teacher has to select a topic. Then he has to decide how big the groups should be and who should belong to which group.
Then necessary materials for each group are chosen and distributed. This is very important when planning for a co-operative learning activity. The groups should have a goal. It should be very specific and require positive interdependence.
Finally the teacher must determine whether the group is successful or not. Here is an example. One possible topic can be "Draw a person and create a story about him or her."
Each group has four members and, if possible, each group has two boys and two girls. After that the teacher lets the student in each group vote for a leader. Let every students know that they have to stay in their groups. They must participate. They have to use good listening skills. It is their responsibility to work with others, to help each other, to co-operate with each other.
第三节到此结束。 现在，你将有两分钟的时间将第1至第17小题的答案转涂到答题卡上，将第18至第20小题的答案转写到答题卡上。
59. D 细节理解题。从第一段最后一句可知，人的指纹是独一无二的。
60. C 推理判断题。从第二段第二句Burns, cuts and other damage to the outer part of the skin will be replaced in time by new one, which bears a reproduction of the original pattern.可以推断正确答案为C。
61. B 推理判断题。从第二段最后两句可知，罪犯要想改变以前的指纹，必须把内部的皮肤损害掉。
62. B 细节理解题。从第三段第四句Because of the simplicity and economy of this system可知。指纹鉴别的方法简单而且经济。
63. D主旨题。本篇主要讨论不同的领导者（如instrumental leaders以及expressive leaders）在不同的社会群体中所充当的角色和发挥的功能。所以D为正确答案。A、B、C选项都不能正确概括本文主旨。
64. A推论题。A选项意思是:某一特定群体的有效领导者，不一定就可以成为另一群体的有效领导者。这正好与第二段的意思相吻合，即领导者没有一个固定的特点，只是符合了一个特定群体需要的人就有可能成为该群体的领导者（It seems…virtually any person may be recognized as a leader if the person has qualities that meet the needs of that particular group）。B选项和C选项的意思与本文无关。D选项意为:许多人想成为领导者，但却很少能拿出证据来证明他们具有这样的资格。显然是对文章意思的曲解。
65. B细节理解题。第二段中“…decades of research have failed to produce consistent evidence that there is any category of ‘natural leaders’”意思是说数十年来的研究并不能找出可靠证据来证明那些人可以成为“天生领导者”，与B项意思一致。
66. D细节理解题。第三、四段主要讲了两种类型的领导者的区别。其中instrumental leader侧重于群体目标的实现，而expressive leader相对于前者并不侧重于群体目标的实现，而是注重为群体成员提供情感支持，并尽力减少内部纷争。（Expressive leaders are less concerned with the overall goals of the group than with providing emotional support to group members and attempting to minimize tension and conflict among them.）
71. B 推理判断题。根据第二段20 percent of NBA rosters will be filled by non-Americans，以及文章后半部分Terry说的话it has increased the level of competition here可判断出外国球员将在NBA起到举足轻重的作用。
72. A 词义猜测题。根据文章中间Stern所说的话，及下一段The success of Chinese centre Yao Ming has paved the way for the NBA marketing blitz in China可判断出NBA将把中国看作是一个重要的市场。
73.A 推理判断题。通读全文，可得出这个结论：NBA的球员组成将发生重大改变，外国球员将占相当的比例。
74. D 词义猜测题。从文章后半部The NBA knows that it needs a global market及It doesn’t matter where the players come from可判断出home soil指的是美国本土。
75. C 主旨大意题。tie在这儿被用来比喻外籍球员，意思是说NBA需借助外籍球员的力量

I arrived in the classroom, ready to share my knowledge and experience with 76 students who would be my English literature class. Having 36 in the US for 17 years, I had no doubt about my ability to 37 their attention and to impress on them my admiration for the 38
of my mother tongue.
I was 39 when the monitor shouted, "Stand up!" The entire class 40 as I entered the room, and I was somewhat 41 about how to get them to sit down again, 42 once that embarrassment was over, I quickly 43 my calmness and admiration. I went back to my 44 with the rosy glow which came from a strong sense of 45 .
My students kept 46 . However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually replaced by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said, "Our 47 teacher didn't teach us anything today. Perhaps her next lecture will be better." Greatly 48 , I read diary after diary, each expressing a 49 theme. "Didn't I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical （哲学）framework(框架) of Western thought and laid the historical background for all the works we'll study in class," I 50 .
"How should they say I didn't teach them anything?"
It was a long term, and it 51 became clear that my ideas about 52 were not the same as those of my students. I thought a teacher's job was to 53 interesting questions and provide enough background so that students could 54 their own conclusions. My students thought a teacher's job was to provide exact information as directly and clearly as possible. What a difference!
55 , I also learned a lot, and the experience with my Chinese students has made me a better American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture.

Every human being has a unique arrangement of the skin on his fingers and this arrangement is unchangeable. Scientists and experts have proved the uniqueness of finger-prints and discovered that no exactly similar pattern is passed on from parents to children, though nobody knows why this is the case.
The ridge（指纹）structure on a person’s fingers does not change with growth and is not affected by surface injuries. Burns, cuts and other damage to the outer part of the skin will be replaced in time by new one, which bears a reproduction of the original pattern. It is only when the inner skin is injured that the arrangement will be destroyed. Some criminals make use of this fact to remove their own finger-prints but this is a dangerous and rare step to take.
Finger-prints can be made very easily with printer’s ink. They can be recorded easily. With special methods, identification can be achieved successfully within a short time. Because of the simplicity and economy of this system, finger-prints have often been used as a method of solving criminal case. A suspected man may deny a charge but this may be in vain. His finger-prints can prove who he is even if his appearance has been changed by age or accident.
When a suspect leaves finger-prints behind at the scene of a crime, they are difficult to detect with the naked eye. Special techniques are used to “develop” them. Some of the marks found are incomplete but identification is possible if a print of a quarter of an inch square can be obtained.
59. Scientists and experts have proved that the pattern of a human being’s finger skin _____ .
A. is similar to his mother’s B. is valuable to himself only
C. is like that of others with the same type of blood
D. is different from that of all others
60. If your fingers are wounded by knife, fire or other means, the structure of skin will ___.
A. be changed partly B. be replaced by a different one
C. be the same when the wound is recovered D. become ugly
61. Some criminals remove their own finger-prints by ________.
A. using printer’s ink B. injuring the inner skin
C. damaging the outer skin D. damaging the colour
62. Finger-prints have often been used as a method of solving criminal case because it____.
A. is complicated but reliable B. is simple and not expensive
C. is expensive but easy to do D. can bring a lot of money

Despite the cold morning wind in Montreal last weekend, Ahmad AI-Bahely was busy handing out candies. He was overjoyed at hearing that Saddam Hussein had been sentenced to death.
"That's how we celebrate in Iraq," said the 15-year-old high school student. AI-Bahely's family was forced to leave Iraq in 1991 after the first Gulf War. They fled life under Saddam Hussein for a new beginning in Canada. "We are proud that this terrible man will get what he deserves ."
An Iraqi court has sentenced Saddam, 69, to death after a 13-month trial. He was found responsible for the killings of 148 people in a village, north of Baghdad in 1982. The murders were carried out in revenge for an attempt on Saddam's life.
Thousands of Iraqis oppressed (被压迫的) during Saddam's 24-year rule took to the streets to celebrate. Meanwhile, groups near Saddam's hometown of Tikrit gathered to support the former president. "We'll avenge you, Saddam," the crowd shouted.
But many simply remained calm. "Whether Saddam lives or dies is not important to me." said Imad Mohammed, a computer engineer. "I'm not even sure whether my family and I will live or die."
Iraqis were not the only ones to have different views on the court's decision.The international community was also divided over the sentence.
US President George W. Bush called the trial a milestone in the Iraqi people's efforts to replace a tyrant (暴君) with the rule of law. But many European countries said Saddam should not be put to death. The Catholic Church called the sentence "eye for an eye" revenge.
Islamic leaders warned that hanging Saddam could lead to revenge by Saddam's supporters, deepening the rift (不和) in the war-torn country. According to new research by a leading US university, over 650,000 Iraqis have been killed since the 2003 Iraq War began.
"They blame Saddam for killing people. But who will judge the leaders for the killings that happen every day now?" said 30-year-old Bahjat. He refused to give his full name out of fear.
"The sentence is just an important settlement with the past, but the big challenge for Iraq's people is the future. Big compromises are required for lasting freedom and secured peace," said Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt.
63. From the story, we can conclude that the death sentence given to Saddam is ______.
A. good news for the world peace
B. to cause controversy among people around the world
C. bad for Iraq because it will cause more fighting
D. what Iraqis have expected for a long time
64. What can we learn from what Abroad AI-Bahely said?
A. Some people felt sorry for Saddam. B. He sells candies as his part time job.
C. Only students in Iraq hated Saddam. D. Many people in Iraq hated Saddam.
65.Which of the following statements about Saddam Hussein is WRONG?
A. He is 69 years old. B. He killed over 650,000 Iraqis.
C. He ruled Iraq for 24 years. D. He will probably be hanged.
66. According to what Imad Mohammed and Bahjat said, we know that __________.
A. they care more about their present and future lives
B. Iraqis don't value their lives very much
C. some Iraqis don't care about the future of their country
D. Iraqis are opposed to the death penalty
67. The passage is mainly about _________.
A. what kind of life Iraqis are living now
B. why Saddam was sentenced to death
C. how people reacted to Saddam's death sentence
D. what effect the death of Saddam will have
D
In the past ten years, America’s National Basketball Association (NBA) has grown increasingly dependent on the rest of the world to supply players.
When Michael Jordan and Larry Bird won gold in Barcelona in 1992, the Americans were praised for teaching the world how to play basketball. This season, however, 20 percent of NBA rosters（花名册）will be filled by non-Americans. NBA commissioner David Stem happily embraces the trend. On a visit to Paris in October, Stern outlined his vision for the future, which is likely to see Europe hosting NBA games by 2010.
The NBA is now planning to take China by storm.
“Our experience in China has been that it is going to be explosive in its growth,” said Stern. The strategy in China is television. “We’ve made 14 deals in China with local and national networks on cable and satellite.” The success of Chinese centre Yao Ming has paved the way for the NBA marketing blitz in China. The NBA, which is broadcasted in more than 200 countries in 42 languages, will put that to the test in October 2004 when the Houston Rockets play two pre-season games against the Sacramento Kings in Beijing and Shanghai. The NBA knows that it needs a global market to compensate for tough times on home soil.
“It doesn’t matter where the players come from, all the NBA teams now know that they have to scout(寻找) internationally,” said Terry Lyons, the NBA’s vice-president of international public relations. “It has increased the level of competition here.” As Frenchman Tony Parker and Argentine Emanuel Ginobili showed in winning championship rings with the San Antonio Spurs last season, many people can earn the respect of their American peers. Others, such as the Houston Rockets’ Chinese centre Yao Ming — number one draft pick in 2002 — and the Detroit Pistons’ 18-year-old Serb Darko Milicic — number two overall in this year’s draft — are icons(偶像)in-waiting.

阅读下面短文，根据文后各题的具体要求回答问题。
According to sociologists, there are several different ways in which a person may become recognized as the leader of a social group. In the family, traditional cultural patterns confer（赠与） leadership on one or both of the parents. In other cases, such as friendship groups, one or more persons may gradually emerge（显现） as leaders, although there is no formal process of selection. In larger groups, leaders are usually chosen formally through election or recruitment.
Although leaders are often thought to be people with unusual personal ability, decades of research have failed to produce consistent(可靠的) evidence that there is any category of “natural leaders”. It seems that there is no set of personal qualities that all leaders have in common; rather, virtually（actually）any person may be recognized as a leader if the person has qualities that meet the needs of that particular group.
Research suggests that there are typically two different leadership roles that are held by different individuals. Instrumental leadership is leadership that emphasizes the completion of tasks by a social group. Group members look to instrumental leaders to “get things done”. Expressive（有表现力的）leadership, on the other hand, is leadership that emphasizes the collective（集体的）well beings of a social group’s members. Expressive leaders are less concerned with the overall goals of the group than with providing emotional support to group members and attempting to minimize（将...减到最少）tension and conflict among them.
Instrumental leaders are likely to have a rather secondary relationship to other group members. They give orders and may discipline group members who prevent attaining the group’s goals. Expressive leaders cultivate(培养) a more personal or primary relationship to others in the group. They offer sympathy when someone experiences difficulties and try to resolve issues that threaten to divide the group. As the difference in these two roles suggest, expressive leaders generally receive more personal affection from group members; instrumental leaders, if they are successful in achieving group goals, may enjoy a more distant respect.
73. Find in the passage a word closest in meaning to the underlined word “attaining”.
74. What do expressive leaders generally focus on ? （回答词数不超过7个）
75. What does the passage mainly discuss? （回答词数不超过6个）

As the US wakes up to China’s rising status(地位) as an economic and strategic competitor, US parents are urging their children to learn Chinese, reports Julian Borger.
The US is being swept by a rush to learn Mandarin(普通话) -- from wealthy New York mothers hiring Chinese nannies (保姆)for their small children to a defence department education project in Oregon.
The forces driving Mandarin’s momentum (势头) are parental ambition for children facing a future in which China is almost certain to be a major player, and the government is worried about that America may get left behind in that new world.
The bottleneck（困难）is the supply of teachers. Mandarin instructors are difficult to import and difficult to train. There are visa problems in bringing over teachers from China but the biggest barrier is cultural. Teaching in Asia is generally done by rote and the change to western, interactive styles of instruction can be a large leap（跳越）.
On the other hand, it requires enormous firmness for westerners to learn a language like Chinese, with its thousands of written characters. According to the Asia Society in New York, all of America’s teacher-training institutions turn out only a couple of dozen homegrown Mandarin teachers.
One way to ease the shortage is to find native Mandarin speakers and use fast-track methods to train them. However, the majority of Chinese-Americans grew up speaking Cantonese, the dialect（方言） spoken in Hong Kong, where their parents came from. Many are themselves signing on as Mandarin students at the private language schools springing up on the west coast.

参考范文1：
I Prefer to Live in the City
I was brought up in the city. And I love to live in the city ,where there are so many things to do. We can see movies or chat on the net with friends, go to gyms after work, or visit museums in weekends. I love to see people around, but the country is too quiet. There's no night life in the countryside. And there are much fewer TV channels, so it must be so boring to live in the countryside. Meanwhile, there are no jobs in the countryside and we can make no money there. Frankly speaking, city life is much more colorful and meaningful than country life.
参考范文2：
I Prefer to Live in the Countryside
I prefer to live in the countryside not because I was born in the countryside but because I like the country life .
In the country the air is fresher and there is less pollution , which is very good for health . What’s more , the countryside is far from the noise and not crowded , as is often the case in the city . Though perhaps we make less money in the countryside , we still lead a happy life because we needn’t so much money. We can grow our own food and enjoy “the really green food” .
As a whole , I think the country life is much better for people’s health than the city life .

How can teachers carry out a co-operative learning lesson?
First, the teacher has to select a topic. Then he has to decide how big the groups should be and who should belong to which group.
Then necessary materials for each group are chosen and distributed. This is very important when planning for a co-operative learning activity. The groups should have a goal. It should be very specific and require positive interdependence.
Finally the teacher must determine whether the group is successful or not. Here is an example. One possible topic can be "Draw a person and create a story about him or her."
Each group has four members and, if possible, each group has two boys and two girls. After that the teacher lets the student in each group vote for a leader. Let every students know that they have to stay in their groups. They must participate. They have to use good listening skills. It is their responsibility to work with others, to help each other, to co-operate with each other.
第三节到此结束。 现在，你将有两分钟的时间将第1至第17小题的答案转涂到答题卡上，将第18至第20小题的答案转写到答题卡上。
59. D 细节理解题。从第一段最后一句可知，人的指纹是独一无二的。
60. C 推理判断题。从第二段第二句Burns, cuts and other damage to the outer part of the skin will be replaced in time by new one, which bears a reproduction of the original pattern.可以推断正确答案为C。
61. B 推理判断题。从第二段最后两句可知，罪犯要想改变以前的指纹，必须把内部的皮肤损害掉。
62. B 细节理解题。从第三段第四句Because of the simplicity and economy of this system可知。指纹鉴别的方法简单而且经济。
63. D主旨题。本篇主要讨论不同的领导者（如instrumental leaders以及expressive leaders）在不同的社会群体中所充当的角色和发挥的功能。所以D为正确答案。A、B、C选项都不能正确概括本文主旨。
64. A推论题。A选项意思是:某一特定群体的有效领导者，不一定就可以成为另一群体的有效领导者。这正好与第二段的意思相吻合，即领导者没有一个固定的特点，只是符合了一个特定群体需要的人就有可能成为该群体的领导者（It seems…virtually any person may be recognized as a leader if the person has qualities that meet the needs of that particular group）。B选项和C选项的意思与本文无关。D选项意为:许多人想成为领导者，但却很少能拿出证据来证明他们具有这样的资格。显然是对文章意思的曲解。
65. B细节理解题。第二段中“…decades of research have failed to produce consistent evidence that there is any category of ‘natural leaders’”意思是说数十年来的研究并不能找出可靠证据来证明那些人可以成为“天生领导者”，与B项意思一致。
66. D细节理解题。第三、四段主要讲了两种类型的领导者的区别。其中instrumental leader侧重于群体目标的实现，而expressive leader相对于前者并不侧重于群体目标的实现，而是注重为群体成员提供情感支持，并尽力减少内部纷争。（Expressive leaders are less concerned with the overall goals of the group than with providing emotional support to group members and attempting to minimize tension and conflict among them.）
71. B 推理判断题。根据第二段20 percent of NBA rosters will be filled by non-Americans，以及文章后半部分Terry说的话it has increased the level of competition here可判断出外国球员将在NBA起到举足轻重的作用。
72. A 词义猜测题。根据文章中间Stern所说的话，及下一段The success of Chinese centre Yao Ming has paved the way for the NBA marketing blitz in China可判断出NBA将把中国看作是一个重要的市场。
73.A 推理判断题。通读全文，可得出这个结论：NBA的球员组成将发生重大改变，外国球员将占相当的比例。
74. D 词义猜测题。从文章后半部The NBA knows that it needs a global market及It doesn’t matter where the players come from可判断出home soil指的是美国本土。
75. C 主旨大意题。tie在这儿被用来比喻外籍球员，意思是说NBA需借助外籍球员的力量
