I was happy to be home. But then I noticed that Penelope, who was 40 with us, was wearing my clothes. And my 41 seemed to like her better than me. I wondered if I would be 42 if I weren’t there. I told my mom, and she explained that 43 Penelope was a lovely girl, no one could 44 me. I pointed out, "She is more patient and is neater than I have ever been." My mom said these were wonderful 45 , but I was the only person who could fill my 46 .

I became a searcher,48 who I was and what made me unique（独特的）. My 49 of myself was changing. I wanted a solid base to start from. I started to resist (抵制) pressure to 50 in ways that I didn’t like any more, and I 51 who I really was. I came to feel much more 52 that no one can ever take my place.

A
Negative calories You’ve got to be kidding me.
Is this possible Can a food actually not only have no calories, but even have negative calories Could you literally eat your way to fat loss Yes. Although all foods carry some calories, the overall effect of certain foods in our body is that of "Negative calories".
Negative calorie foods are foods that use more calories to digest than the calories the foods actually contain.
Calories from these foods are much harder for the body to break down and process. In other words, the body has to work harder in order to extract calories from these foods. This gives these foods a natural fat?burning advantage.
For example, a piece of pie consisting of 350 calories may only require 100 calories to be digested, thus a net gain of 250 calories will be added to your body fat.
But, if you eat 65 calories of a food that requires 150 calories to digest, then you’ve burnt an additional 50 calories simply by eating that food.
There are a large number of foods that combine low calories, delicious taste, and excellent negative calorie properties. To lose weight, you should not starve. Instead, eat a lot of negative calorie foods to lose that extra fat and become slim naturally.
56. The author of this passage suggests that if you want to lose weight you should_______.
A. eat foods with less calories B. eat foods with negative calories
C. starve more D. eat foods with low calories and delicious taste
57. How can you get negative calories, according to the passage
A. Eat less food than necessary.
B. Eat foods that contain more calories than the calories it takes to digest.
C. Eat foods that require more calories to digest than the calories you get from the foods.
D. Eat less food and exercise more.
58. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage
A. Names of negative calorie foods. B. What negative calorie foods are.
C. The effect of negative calorie foods. D. How negative calorie foods work.
B
Most people agree that the direct, assertive(过分自信的) American personality is a virtue, but it sometimes surprises foreigners. In many cultures, respect for older people or those in positions of authority keeps others from expressing their true feelings. But in the U.S, children often argue with their parents, students may disagree with their teachers, and citizens may express opposition to the actions of the government. If the soup has a fly in it or the meat is too tough to chew, the diner can complain to the waiter, if the boss makes a mistake, an employee will politely point it out.
Some straight talk about the American character must include the admission that Americans have their faults. The extremely competitive nature of Americans is probably their worst fault. Of course, competition isn’t always bad. As a matter of fact, it promotes excellence by encouraging individuals and businesses to try to do their best. But the desire to get ahead of others sometimes causes people to do things that are unkind and even dishonest. Also, Americans admire what is practical, fast, efficient, and fresh. Sometimes they fail to understand and appreciate practices that have greater respect for more traditional, leisurely ways of doing things. On the other hand, people from other cultures may dislike the practical, challenging American lifestyle.
Despite culture differences, most foreigners give Americans credit for their virtues. Americans are generally viewed as friendly, adaptable, energetic, and kindhearted. Most newcomers to the U.S. like Americans, and the feeling is usually mutual. Perhaps the greatest American virtue is a deep interest in new ideas and new people. In a nation of immigrants, the foreigner does not remain an outsider for long.
59. In order to show the respect for older people,. .
A. Americans usually argue with them
B. people from some other cultures may sometimes hide their true feeling
C. Americans always show their true feelings
D. people from some other cultures will always express their true feeling
60. Why is the extremely competitive nature considered as one of American faults
A. Because people from other cultures fear competition.
B. Because only American people own it.
C. Because it will make people forget leisure.
D. Because it may sometimes urge people to do something bad.
61. It can be inferred from the passage that . .
A. American people are more critical of everything than people from other cultures
B. the author believes that American character has more faults than virtues
C. the author admires American virtues as they are viewed as competitive and anti traditional
D. it is difficult for newcomers to get on with Americans
62. The passage mainly talks about . .
A. American virtues B. American characters C. American faults D. American lifestyles
C
Burning the midnight oil before an exam or interview has an opposite effect according to a research which found that sleep is necessary for memories to be "downloaded" into the brain. "A good night’s sleep within 30 hours of trying to remember a new task is a necessary condition of having good recall (回忆) in the weeks ahead," scientists have found.
"We think that getting that first night’s sleep starts the process of memory consolidation (加强)," said Robert Stickgold, a sleep researcher at Harvard Medical School who conducted the latest study.
"It seems that memories are normally washed out of the brain unless some process nails them down. I feel uncertain that sleep is one of those things that do the nailing down," Professor Stickgold said.
Professor Stickgold’s team trained the 24 people to tell the direction of three diagonal bars(斜线) shown for a sixtieth of a second on a computer screen full of horizontal stripes(水平线条).
Half the subjects were kept awake that night, while the others slept. Both groups were allowed to sleep for the second and third nights to make up for any differences in tiredness between the volunteers（志愿者）.
Those who slept the first night were much better at remembering the task while the second group showed no improvement in spite of enjoying two nights of catch?up sleep.
A further study by scientists at the Medical University at Lubeck in Germany showed that memories are laid down in two stages during the night. The first is during the deep, so?called "slow wave" sleep, which usually takes place in the first half of the night. The second, and less important stage happens during the periods of dreaming or "rapid eye movement (REM)". When people don’t sleep well in the first half of the night, their memory consolidation is almost the same as having no sleep at all.
63.Which of the following statements is correct according to Paragraph 1
A. It is necessary to burn the midnight oil before an exam or interview.
B. Sleep speeds up the loss of memory.
C. Man should have a good sleep if he wants to keep a good memory.
D. Staying up late will make you better prepared for an exam or interview.
64.It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that _______
A. some process helps memories to be washed out of the brain.
B. professor Stickgold is doubtful about whether sleep can make memories better.
C. some memories normally influence the function of the brain.
D. sleep improves the condition of memories.
65. How was the research conducted by Professor Stickgold
A. The subjects were divided into two groups.
B. All the subjects were kept awake for 3 nights.
C. One group slept at the first night but was kept awake the next two nights.
D. One group was kept awake for 3 nights but the other slept for the second and third nights.
66. What was the study result of the scientists at the Medical University at Lubeck
A. REM sleep is not important at all for the consolidation for memory.
B. Intellectual performance mainly depends on the slow wave sleep period.
C. When people sleep poorly in the first half of the night, it is almost the same as having no sleep at all.
D. REM sleep is as important as slow wave sleep in terms of memory recall.
67. The best title of this passage is_____.
A. Sleep Necessary for Memories B. The Importance of the First Stage of Sleep
C. Studies Made By Scientists About Sleep D. The Scientists’ Achievement in Sleep Research
D
Never in the history of Sierra Leone’s elections have women so actively engaged in politics or competed for parliamentary seats. In the past, women did the dancing and cooking for elections campaigning. In the May 14th elections, we saw over 168 women candidates competitive for President, Vice President and Parliamentary seats.
One would think that about 60% of these women would have emerged as winners. But it was not so, because of our cultural perception of women. We need to change our culture. Women could be active politicians. The Christians in their own way encouraged women to be preachers(传教士) but the Muslim leaders say women should not head for officiating(主持) prayers.
The same happens in certain parts of the country where women are not part of decision taken in male secret societies. This prevents them from achieving some of their goals. A senior head in one of the ministries told me that she was getting problems with some of her staff members especially the male staff. Most women that come from the Northern part of country experience such problems. Some men are saying that a woman cannot be their leader.
Some women are also prejudiced against their women folks. In the last elections, most woman did not support their colleagues. In some parts of the country, because they are not members of secret societies they were not allowed to contest for chieftaincies (酋长或首领的位置). However, Sierra Leones not withstanding the cultural prejudice against women has witnessed women occupying high public offices. They have been appointed to head certain areas.
Sierra Leone is moving from its past culture. We need a change in our culture. Women all over the world are recognized one way or the other as they are now involved in the use of technology. We now see women as air pilots, and they even attempt to go to travel in space.
68. In the past, women in Sierra Leone . .
A. took active part in politics B. contested for parliamentary seats
C. danced and cooked for the election campaigning D. shared the equal rights with men
69. About 60% of the women engaged in election would have succeeded if . .
A. there were less prejudice against women B. less Muslim leaders had objected
C. more women had been engaged in the election D. more preachers had supported them
70. The author concludes that the women candidates can’t win the competitive vote because .
A. women is more suitable for the dancing and cooking job
B. women candidates can’t get the support of their folks
C. women prejudice still exists in today’s society
D. women are not capable enough to be a chieftain
71. The main idea of the passage is .
A. the prejudice against women in various fields
B. women in Sierra Leone, striving for their political rights
C. women in Sierra Leone, challenge for men’s status
D. women in Sierra Leone, being involved in politics

The United States is trying to improve an education system that produces millions of citizens who cannot read, write, or add—let alone finding their country on a map.
In his first State of Union message since taking office a year ago, President George Bush promised to wipe out illiteracy(文盲) in the next decade and declared that“ by the year 2008, U.S students must be first in the world in math and science achievements. ” They have a long way to go. American students were placed 14th in a recent general science test conducted in 16 countries. In a separate survey of chemistry students, the United States came 12 out of 14. In a mathematics test, they were last. According to Bush, there are 17 million illiterates in this country of 245 million people. Other estimates put the number as high as 23 million. In percentage terms, that ranks the United States alongside Niearague and below Cuba. “This nation,” Bush said in his State of the Union address, “will not accept anything but excellent in education.” Bush, who has declared himself “Education president”, and senior officials of his administration are warning that the United States will be unable to compete in the world without an educated workforce.
How to increase educational standards is a matter of debate in a country whose schools have no uniform national curriculum and are subject to a confusing variety of state and local controls. Most experts think that the problem lies at the elementary and high school levels rather than with universities-but even their graduates show huge gaps in general knowledge. Among the root causes most frequently mentioned in education debates is the low respect in which U.S. society holds teachers-in contrast to Japan and Germany. In Japan teaching is a profession of high prestige(威望) and high pay. In the United States teachers are near the bottom of the society.
72. By“the United States came 12 out of 14”(Para. 2), the author means .
A. the United States ranked 12th not 14th in the chemistry test
B. the United States ranked 12th in the chemistry test conducted by 14 countries
C. the United States progressed from 14th to 12th in the chemistry test
D. the United States ranked 12th in chemistry test and 14th in general science test
73. The cause of low educational level in America include the following EXCEPT that .
A. some problems exist in primary and secondary education
B. society keeps teachers in low respect
C. America pays more attention to economy instead of education
D. America has no uniform national courses
74. Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage
A. President Bush carried out his promise made in his first State of Union message.
B. The education in Japan and Germany is in higher level.
C. According to Bush, the number of illiterates accounts for 9% of the total.
D. Teachers in the United States enjoy good treatment and great respect.
75. Which of the following is the right order of the least-first of the percent of illiterates
A. Cuba, Japan, Nicaragua. B. Germany, Nicaragua, Cuba.
C. Nicaragua, Japan, Cuba. D. Germany, Cuba, Nicaragua.

needn’t"不需要"，都不合题意。

56. B 细节理解题。从文章最后一段得出答案，文章在分析了"负热量"食物的减肥原理后，最后建议减肥不应通过节食，而应该吃"负热量"食物。
57. C 细节理解题。文章第三段说明，"负热量"食物就是用于消化所消耗的能量比食物本身含的能量多的食物（Negative calorie foods are foods that use more calories to digest than the calories the foods actually contain.）。
58. A 推理判断题。从文章中找不到具体的"负热量"食物的名称
59. D 文章首段第二句提到“In many cultures respect for older people or those in positions of authority keeps others from expressing their true feelings”.由此可知：出于对长者尊敬，许多国家的人们往往不会表达自己的真实感受，故选项B正确.
60. D 文章第二段第五句话指出“But the desire to get ahead of others sometimes causes people... unkind and even dishonest”,也就是说，极端的竞争性有时会使人误入歧途，由此可知D正确答案。
61. A 文章首段中几个例子论证了美国人直率的性格，从中我们不难推断出，美国人比其他外国人更善于批判，故A为正确答案。本文论述了美国人性格的三个方面，其中坦率和对新事物的兴趣是作者赞赏的，都被视为virtue,故排除B，第三段第二句话指出“Americans are generally viewed as friendly, adaptable, energetic, and kindhearted”,由此可排除C；根据最后一段内容可推断出，美国人并不难相处，所以选项D也不对。
62. B 本文主要阐述了美国人的性格，作者在第二段第二句中提到“The extremely competitive nature... their worst fault”,以及第二段倒数第二句也提到“Sometimes they fail to understand and appreciate practices...”,由此可知文章并非全在说美国人的优点，故可排除A；文章虽在第二段两处提到美国人的缺点，但不是主要内容，故C也可排除；选项D显然不对.
63.C 综合判断题。本文通过实验说明好的睡眠对记忆力至关重要。文章第一段就交代了整篇文章的中心，对本题有提示作用。
64.D 推理判断题。Professor Stickgold的话说明，睡眠是不让记忆力衰退的关键。
65.A 细节理解题。文章第六、七段介绍参与实验者被分成两组，一组第一天晚上睡觉，另一组第一天晚上不睡觉。
66.B 细节理解题。文章最后一段说明了slow wave睡眠阶段的重要性。
67.A 主旨归纳题。归纳文章第一段的内容可得出本题答案。
68.C 根据文章首段第二句“In the past，women did the dancing and cooking for elections campaigning可知，选项C与文意相符，故为正确答案。
69.A 根据文章第二段前两句可知:由于我们对女性的文化偏见，女性中大多数的人会脱颖而出是不可能的。第三段首句指出，女性无法成为男性社会中作决定的部分。以及第四段首句提到的女性对同性也存有偏见。由上述内容可推断出，如果对女性少一些偏见，那么就会有许多女性在选举中获得成功，故A为正确答案。穆斯林领导者也存在对女性的反对意见，但与本题题意不符，故可排除;C和D均未在文中提到。
70.C 作者在第二段中指出作者不看好女性竞选者，在第三、四段中说明性别歧视的各个方面，而最后一段中作者指出we need a change in culture。综上，不难推出本题的答案为C。A是人们过去对女性的看法，B只是文中提到一个方面，以偏盖全，D显然与文意相悖。
71.D 通读全文可知，本文主要讲的是有关女性从政的，由此可知D为最佳选项。文中主要讲了女性在政治方面受到的歧视，并没有涉及各个领域，故排除A、B和C。
72.B 此处“12 out of 14”是指“在多少里面排名第几，占第几位”，所以在此处意思应为:在14个国家的学生进行的化学测试中，美国学生的成绩排第12位，由此可知B为正确答案。
73.C 文章第三段提到“whose schools have no uniform national curriculum”，“the problem lies at the elementary and high school levels...”以及“Among the root causes most frequently mentioned... the low respect in which U.S. society holds teachers”。由此可知A、B和D三项均是教育水平低的原因，选项C未在文中提及，故为正确答案。
74.B 第二段开头指出，布什总统曾许诺要在接下来的十年里消除文盲，文章后面指出“According to Bush，there are l7 million illiterates in this country of 245million people...They have a long way to go”，由此可知，布什并没有实现诺言，故选项A不对，根据布什的统计，文盲比例应为17／245约为7％，而不是9％，故排除C，根据文章最后一句话可知：在美国，老师的地位几乎在最底层，由此可排除D;根据文章最后一段倒数第三句可推断出B为正确答案。
75.D 题目要求按文盲比率由低到高的顺序排列。根据文章倒数第三句话可知：在德国，教师地位比较高，由此可推断出其教育水平高，文盲也较少，以及第二段中间部分的“in percentage terms，that rank the United States alongside Nicaragua and below Cuba.”，也就是说，美国和尼加拉瓜并列，位于古巴之后，由此可判断出：德国的文盲率最低，其次是古巴，然后是尼加拉瓜，故A为正确选项

第二节 书面表达
Dear editor,
Nowadays few people pay attention to dealing with waste batteries. I’m writing to say something about it.
Environmentalists think we should recycle waste batteries. If not dealt with properly, they will seriously pollute the environment. Above all, the battery factories should be responsible for this. At the same time, our government should learn from some foreign countries, giving the factories a subsidy to recycle and deal with waste batteries.
However, batter factories argue that it is not only their responsibility to recycle and deal with waste batteries. They have to take profits into consideration and it is a waste of labor and money to do it well.
In my opinion, all the people should be educated to protect the environment. Our government should help battery factories and we must throw waste batteries here and there.
Best wishes
Yours,
Mu Mu

As a teenager, I felt I was always letting people down. I was rebellious（反叛的）on the outside,36 on the inside I wanted people to 37 me.
Once I left home to hitchhike (搭便车) to California with my friend Penelope. The trip wasn’t 38 , and there were many times I didn’t feel safe. One situation in particular 39 me grateful to still be alive. When I returned home, I was different — not so outwardly sure of myself.
I was happy to be home. But then I noticed that Penelope, who was 40 with us, was wearing my clothes. And my 41 seemed to like her better than me. I wondered if I would be 42 if I weren’t there. I told my mom, and she explained that 43 Penelope was a lovely girl, no one could 44 me. I pointed out, "She is more patient and is neater than I have ever been." My mom said these were wonderful 45 , but I was the only person who could fill my 46 . She made me realize that even with my 47, — and they were many —I was a loved member of the family who couldn’t be replaced.
I became a searcher,48 who I was and what made me unique（独特的）. My 49 of myself was changing. I wanted a solid base to start from. I started to resist (抵制) pressure to 50 in ways that I didn’t like any more, and I 51 who I really was. I came to feel much more 52 that no one can ever take my place.

A
Negative calories You’ve got to be kidding me.
Is this possible Can a food actually not only have no calories, but even have negative calories Could you literally eat your way to fat loss Yes. Although all foods carry some calories, the overall effect of certain foods in our body is that of "Negative calories".
Negative calorie foods are foods that use more calories to digest than the calories the foods actually contain.
Calories from these foods are much harder for the body to break down and process. In other words, the body has to work harder in order to extract calories from these foods. This gives these foods a natural fat?burning advantage.
For example, a piece of pie consisting of 350 calories may only require 100 calories to be digested, thus a net gain of 250 calories will be added to your body fat.
But, if you eat 65 calories of a food that requires 150 calories to digest, then you’ve burnt an additional 50 calories simply by eating that food.
There are a large number of foods that combine low calories, delicious taste, and excellent negative calorie properties. To lose weight, you should not starve. Instead, eat a lot of negative calorie foods to lose that extra fat and become slim naturally.
56. The author of this passage suggests that if you want to lose weight you should_______.
A. eat foods with less calories B. eat foods with negative calories
C. starve more D. eat foods with low calories and delicious taste
57. How can you get negative calories, according to the passage
A. Eat less food than necessary.
B. Eat foods that contain more calories than the calories it takes to digest.
C. Eat foods that require more calories to digest than the calories you get from the foods.
D. Eat less food and exercise more.
58. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage
A. Names of negative calorie foods. B. What negative calorie foods are.
C. The effect of negative calorie foods. D. How negative calorie foods work.
B
Most people agree that the direct, assertive(过分自信的) American personality is a virtue, but it sometimes surprises foreigners. In many cultures, respect for older people or those in positions of authority keeps others from expressing their true feelings. But in the U.S, children often argue with their parents, students may disagree with their teachers, and citizens may express opposition to the actions of the government. If the soup has a fly in it or the meat is too tough to chew, the diner can complain to the waiter, if the boss makes a mistake, an employee will politely point it out.
Some straight talk about the American character must include the admission that Americans have their faults. The extremely competitive nature of Americans is probably their worst fault. Of course, competition isn’t always bad. As a matter of fact, it promotes excellence by encouraging individuals and businesses to try to do their best. But the desire to get ahead of others sometimes causes people to do things that are unkind and even dishonest. Also, Americans admire what is practical, fast, efficient, and fresh. Sometimes they fail to understand and appreciate practices that have greater respect for more traditional, leisurely ways of doing things. On the other hand, people from other cultures may dislike the practical, challenging American lifestyle.
Despite culture differences, most foreigners give Americans credit for their virtues. Americans are generally viewed as friendly, adaptable, energetic, and kindhearted. Most newcomers to the U.S. like Americans, and the feeling is usually mutual. Perhaps the greatest American virtue is a deep interest in new ideas and new people. In a nation of immigrants, the foreigner does not remain an outsider for long.
59. In order to show the respect for older people,. .
A. Americans usually argue with them
B. people from some other cultures may sometimes hide their true feeling
C. Americans always show their true feelings
D. people from some other cultures will always express their true feeling
60. Why is the extremely competitive nature considered as one of American faults
A. Because people from other cultures fear competition.
B. Because only American people own it.
C. Because it will make people forget leisure.
D. Because it may sometimes urge people to do something bad.
61. It can be inferred from the passage that . .
A. American people are more critical of everything than people from other cultures
B. the author believes that American character has more faults than virtues
C. the author admires American virtues as they are viewed as competitive and anti traditional
D. it is difficult for newcomers to get on with Americans
62. The passage mainly talks about . .
A. American virtues B. American characters C. American faults D. American lifestyles
C
Burning the midnight oil before an exam or interview has an opposite effect according to a research which found that sleep is necessary for memories to be "downloaded" into the brain. "A good night’s sleep within 30 hours of trying to remember a new task is a necessary condition of having good recall (回忆) in the weeks ahead," scientists have found.
"We think that getting that first night’s sleep starts the process of memory consolidation (加强)," said Robert Stickgold, a sleep researcher at Harvard Medical School who conducted the latest study.
"It seems that memories are normally washed out of the brain unless some process nails them down. I feel uncertain that sleep is one of those things that do the nailing down," Professor Stickgold said.
Professor Stickgold’s team trained the 24 people to tell the direction of three diagonal bars(斜线) shown for a sixtieth of a second on a computer screen full of horizontal stripes(水平线条).
Half the subjects were kept awake that night, while the others slept. Both groups were allowed to sleep for the second and third nights to make up for any differences in tiredness between the volunteers（志愿者）.
Those who slept the first night were much better at remembering the task while the second group showed no improvement in spite of enjoying two nights of catch?up sleep.
A further study by scientists at the Medical University at Lubeck in Germany showed that memories are laid down in two stages during the night. The first is during the deep, so?called "slow wave" sleep, which usually takes place in the first half of the night. The second, and less important stage happens during the periods of dreaming or "rapid eye movement (REM)". When people don’t sleep well in the first half of the night, their memory consolidation is almost the same as having no sleep at all.
63.Which of the following statements is correct according to Paragraph 1
A. It is necessary to burn the midnight oil before an exam or interview.
B. Sleep speeds up the loss of memory.
C. Man should have a good sleep if he wants to keep a good memory.
D. Staying up late will make you better prepared for an exam or interview.
64.It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that _______
A. some process helps memories to be washed out of the brain.
B. professor Stickgold is doubtful about whether sleep can make memories better.
C. some memories normally influence the function of the brain.
D. sleep improves the condition of memories.
65. How was the research conducted by Professor Stickgold
A. The subjects were divided into two groups.
B. All the subjects were kept awake for 3 nights.
C. One group slept at the first night but was kept awake the next two nights.
D. One group was kept awake for 3 nights but the other slept for the second and third nights.
66. What was the study result of the scientists at the Medical University at Lubeck
A. REM sleep is not important at all for the consolidation for memory.
B. Intellectual performance mainly depends on the slow wave sleep period.
C. When people sleep poorly in the first half of the night, it is almost the same as having no sleep at all.
D. REM sleep is as important as slow wave sleep in terms of memory recall.
67. The best title of this passage is_____.
A. Sleep Necessary for Memories B. The Importance of the First Stage of Sleep
C. Studies Made By Scientists About Sleep D. The Scientists’ Achievement in Sleep Research
D
Never in the history of Sierra Leone’s elections have women so actively engaged in politics or competed for parliamentary seats. In the past, women did the dancing and cooking for elections campaigning. In the May 14th elections, we saw over 168 women candidates competitive for President, Vice President and Parliamentary seats.
One would think that about 60% of these women would have emerged as winners. But it was not so, because of our cultural perception of women. We need to change our culture. Women could be active politicians. The Christians in their own way encouraged women to be preachers(传教士) but the Muslim leaders say women should not head for officiating(主持) prayers.
The same happens in certain parts of the country where women are not part of decision taken in male secret societies. This prevents them from achieving some of their goals. A senior head in one of the ministries told me that she was getting problems with some of her staff members especially the male staff. Most women that come from the Northern part of country experience such problems. Some men are saying that a woman cannot be their leader.
Some women are also prejudiced against their women folks. In the last elections, most woman did not support their colleagues. In some parts of the country, because they are not members of secret societies they were not allowed to contest for chieftaincies (酋长或首领的位置). However, Sierra Leones not withstanding the cultural prejudice against women has witnessed women occupying high public offices. They have been appointed to head certain areas.
Sierra Leone is moving from its past culture. We need a change in our culture. Women all over the world are recognized one way or the other as they are now involved in the use of technology. We now see women as air pilots, and they even attempt to go to travel in space.

The United States is trying to improve an education system that produces millions of citizens who cannot read, write, or add—let alone finding their country on a map.
In his first State of Union message since taking office a year ago, President George Bush promised to wipe out illiteracy(文盲) in the next decade and declared that“ by the year 2008, U.S students must be first in the world in math and science achievements. ” They have a long way to go. American students were placed 14th in a recent general science test conducted in 16 countries. In a separate survey of chemistry students, the United States came 12 out of 14. In a mathematics test, they were last. According to Bush, there are 17 million illiterates in this country of 245 million people. Other estimates put the number as high as 23 million. In percentage terms, that ranks the United States alongside Niearague and below Cuba. “This nation,” Bush said in his State of the Union address, “will not accept anything but excellent in education.” Bush, who has declared himself “Education president”, and senior officials of his administration are warning that the United States will be unable to compete in the world without an educated workforce.
How to increase educational standards is a matter of debate in a country whose schools have no uniform national curriculum and are subject to a confusing variety of state and local controls. Most experts think that the problem lies at the elementary and high school levels rather than with universities-but even their graduates show huge gaps in general knowledge. Among the root causes most frequently mentioned in education debates is the low respect in which U.S. society holds teachers-in contrast to Japan and Germany. In Japan teaching is a profession of high prestige(威望) and high pay. In the United States teachers are near the bottom of the society.
72. By“the United States came 12 out of 14”(Para. 2), the author means .
A. the United States ranked 12th not 14th in the chemistry test
B. the United States ranked 12th in the chemistry test conducted by 14 countries
C. the United States progressed from 14th to 12th in the chemistry test
D. the United States ranked 12th in chemistry test and 14th in general science test
73. The cause of low educational level in America include the following EXCEPT that .
A. some problems exist in primary and secondary education
B. society keeps teachers in low respect
C. America pays more attention to economy instead of education
D. America has no uniform national courses
74. Which of the following statements can be inferred from the passage
A. President Bush carried out his promise made in his first State of Union message.
B. The education in Japan and Germany is in higher level.
C. According to Bush, the number of illiterates accounts for 9% of the total.
D. Teachers in the United States enjoy good treatment and great respect.
75. Which of the following is the right order of the least-first of the percent of illiterates
A. Cuba, Japan, Nicaragua. B. Germany, Nicaragua, Cuba.
C. Nicaragua, Japan, Cuba. D. Germany, Cuba, Nicaragua.

第二部分：英语知识运用
第一节 单项填空
21.D 由I can do without the microphone可知，此处表“没关系”之意。
22.B “那是某一个星期天”； at church做礼拜。
23.C advocate(=speak in favor of)倡导，提倡，支持。
24.A “become+adj.”表“变成某一状态”之意。sb be confused某人被弄得糊涂了。
25.B It is+时间since主+过去时……“自从……有多长时间”。
26.B 指对话之前的动作，应用一般过去时。
27.A 数词应位于as之前，此句是twice as much money as he would do的省略形式。
28.D 表“本可能赚一笔不菲的工资，但却没做”之意。
29.D challenge同ideas之间存在被动关系。句子表“当年牛顿的许多想法受到了质疑”之意。
30.B 该句为定语从句，先行词为a garden，空格部分应选 whose ，构成whose owner (=the owner of which；of which the owner)，该句也可改成and its owner...。
31.C 上文的语境已经提示。过去进行时表示过去一个动作发生，另一个动作正在进行，过去进行时往往提供一个背景。
32.A 由After the balloon was freed of the burden of ice转换而成。
33.A 句意为“因为天气恶劣，一些地区人口稀少”。due to由于；with regard to关于；regardless of不管，不顾；in spite of尽管。
34.C lay off作“解雇”讲。lay out 布置，安排，设计;lay aside把……放在一起；lay down放下。
35.B 既使站一晚上的队，杰克下决心也要买到音乐会的票。
第二节 完形填空
36. B此处作者说明自己外表反叛，但内心却渴望别人的喜欢。
37. D此处指作者内心希望别人"喜欢"她。
38. A从后面作者"好几次感到不安全"看，此处作者是说旅途一点不容易。其他选项不合逻辑。
39. C leave sb. +adj.表示"使某人处于……状态"，此处作者的意思是有一种情况特别危险，自己能活下来就谢天谢地了。
40. C表示朋友跟我们住在一起。
41. A此处指作者的"家人"。
42. D此处作者看到家人对朋友那么好，以至产生疑问：如果我不在，他们会想念我吗？
43. C while在此处引导让步状语从句，当"尽管"讲，相当于although。
44. C母亲的意思是没有人能"取代"我。match意为"比得上，配得上"，不合逻辑。
45. A母亲赞扬朋友身上的一些优秀"品质"。qualities当"品质"讲。
46. B fill one’s role当"填补某人的作用、角色"讲，此处作者表达的还是没有人能取代我。其他名词跟前
面的动词fill不搭配。
47. A此处指作者身上的"缺点"，即使有很多缺点，但还是没有人能取代我。从前面的even可知，此处
表示意义上的转折，因此应选"不好的"东西，排除B、 C。 pities"可怜"不合题意。
48. C seeking out在句中作伴随状语，当"探求"讲。作者在探求自己的特点是什么。
49. B此处表示作者对自己的"观点"发生了变化。此处不是"照片"，更不是"主意"。

51. B作者找到了自己的特点，故"庆幸"自己就是自己，没有人能取代。
52. A找到了自己的优点和特点，作者对自己更有"信心"了。 doubtful, lonely显然不符合作者最后心理
已经发生变化这一事实，happy偏离了作者想表达的中心。
53. D hold在此处当"占据"讲，作者认为我们每一个人都在世界上占据了一个独特的位置，没有人能取
代。
54. B最后是作者的号召：别再去想"被别人取代"了。因此用forget about"忘记……"。作者此处是在用
自己的经历警示读者，不要去考虑"被人取代"这一问题，其他动词不合语境。
55. D作者最后强调你"不可能"被取代。Mustn’t表示"禁止；不允许"，shouldn’t也是禁止对方做什么；
needn’t"不需要"，都不合题意。
第三部分 阅读理解
56. B 细节理解题。从文章最后一段得出答案，文章在分析了"负热量"食物的减肥原理后，最后建议减肥不应通过节食，而应该吃"负热量"食物。
57. C 细节理解题。文章第三段说明，"负热量"食物就是用于消化所消耗的能量比食物本身含的能量多的食物（Negative calorie foods are foods that use more calories to digest than the calories the foods actually contain.）。
58. A 推理判断题。从文章中找不到具体的"负热量"食物的名称
59. D 文章首段第二句提到“In many cultures respect for older people or those in positions of authority keeps others from expressing their true feelings”.由此可知：出于对长者尊敬，许多国家的人们往往不会表达自己的真实感受，故选项B正确.
60. D 文章第二段第五句话指出“But the desire to get ahead of others sometimes causes people... unkind and even dishonest”,也就是说，极端的竞争性有时会使人误入歧途，由此可知D正确答案。
61. A 文章首段中几个例子论证了美国人直率的性格，从中我们不难推断出，美国人比其他外国人更善于批判，故A为正确答案。本文论述了美国人性格的三个方面，其中坦率和对新事物的兴趣是作者赞赏的，都被视为virtue,故排除B，第三段第二句话指出“Americans are generally viewed as friendly, adaptable, energetic, and kindhearted”,由此可排除C；根据最后一段内容可推断出，美国人并不难相处，所以选项D也不对。
62. B 本文主要阐述了美国人的性格，作者在第二段第二句中提到“The extremely competitive nature... their worst fault”,以及第二段倒数第二句也提到“Sometimes they fail to understand and appreciate practices...”,由此可知文章并非全在说美国人的优点，故可排除A；文章虽在第二段两处提到美国人的缺点，但不是主要内容，故C也可排除；选项D显然不对.
63.C 综合判断题。本文通过实验说明好的睡眠对记忆力至关重要。文章第一段就交代了整篇文章的中心，对本题有提示作用。
64.D 推理判断题。Professor Stickgold的话说明，睡眠是不让记忆力衰退的关键。
65.A 细节理解题。文章第六、七段介绍参与实验者被分成两组，一组第一天晚上睡觉，另一组第一天晚上不睡觉。
66.B 细节理解题。文章最后一段说明了slow wave睡眠阶段的重要性。
67.A 主旨归纳题。归纳文章第一段的内容可得出本题答案。
68.C 根据文章首段第二句“In the past，women did the dancing and cooking for elections campaigning可知，选项C与文意相符，故为正确答案。
69.A 根据文章第二段前两句可知:由于我们对女性的文化偏见，女性中大多数的人会脱颖而出是不可能的。第三段首句指出，女性无法成为男性社会中作决定的部分。以及第四段首句提到的女性对同性也存有偏见。由上述内容可推断出，如果对女性少一些偏见，那么就会有许多女性在选举中获得成功，故A为正确答案。穆斯林领导者也存在对女性的反对意见，但与本题题意不符，故可排除;C和D均未在文中提到。
70.C 作者在第二段中指出作者不看好女性竞选者，在第三、四段中说明性别歧视的各个方面，而最后一段中作者指出we need a change in culture。综上，不难推出本题的答案为C。A是人们过去对女性的看法，B只是文中提到一个方面，以偏盖全，D显然与文意相悖。
71.D 通读全文可知，本文主要讲的是有关女性从政的，由此可知D为最佳选项。文中主要讲了女性在政治方面受到的歧视，并没有涉及各个领域，故排除A、B和C。
72.B 此处“12 out of 14”是指“在多少里面排名第几，占第几位”，所以在此处意思应为:在14个国家的学生进行的化学测试中，美国学生的成绩排第12位，由此可知B为正确答案。
73.C 文章第三段提到“whose schools have no uniform national curriculum”，“the problem lies at the elementary and high school levels...”以及“Among the root causes most frequently mentioned... the low respect in which U.S. society holds teachers”。由此可知A、B和D三项均是教育水平低的原因，选项C未在文中提及，故为正确答案。
74.B 第二段开头指出，布什总统曾许诺要在接下来的十年里消除文盲，文章后面指出“According to Bush，there are l7 million illiterates in this country of 245million people...They have a long way to go”，由此可知，布什并没有实现诺言，故选项A不对，根据布什的统计，文盲比例应为17／245约为7％，而不是9％，故排除C，根据文章最后一句话可知：在美国，老师的地位几乎在最底层，由此可排除D;根据文章最后一段倒数第三句可推断出B为正确答案。
75.D 题目要求按文盲比率由低到高的顺序排列。根据文章倒数第三句话可知：在德国，教师地位比较高，由此可推断出其教育水平高，文盲也较少，以及第二段中间部分的“in percentage terms，that rank the United States alongside Nicaragua and below Cuba.”，也就是说，美国和尼加拉瓜并列，位于古巴之后，由此可判断出：德国的文盲率最低，其次是古巴，然后是尼加拉瓜，故A为正确选项

第二节 书面表达
Dear editor,
Nowadays few people pay attention to dealing with waste batteries. I’m writing to say something about it.
Environmentalists think we should recycle waste batteries. If not dealt with properly, they will seriously pollute the environment. Above all, the battery factories should be responsible for this. At the same time, our government should learn from some foreign countries, giving the factories a subsidy to recycle and deal with waste batteries.
However, batter factories argue that it is not only their responsibility to recycle and deal with waste batteries. They have to take profits into consideration and it is a waste of labor and money to do it well.
In my opinion, all the people should be educated to protect the environment. Our government should help battery factories and we must throw waste batteries here and there.
Best wishes
