(A)
John Fisher, a builder, and his wife Elizabeth wanted more living space, so they left their small flat for an old 40-metre-high tower. They have spent five years turning it into a beautiful home with six floors, winning three architectural prizes.
“I love the space, and being private,” Elizabeth says. “You feel separated from the world. If I am in the kitchen, which is 25 meters above the ground floor, and the doorbell rings, I don’t have to answer it because visitors can’t see I am in!”
There are 142 steps to the top so if I go up and down five or six times a day, it’s very good exercise! But having to carry heavy things to the top is terrible, so I never buy more than two bags of shopping from the supermarket at a time. Apart from that, it’s a brilliant place to live in.
“When we first saw the place, I asked my father’s advice about buying it, because we couldn’t decide. After paying for it, we were a bit worried because it looked awful. But we really loved it, and knew how we wanted it to look.”
“Living here can be difficult——yesterday I climbed a four-meter ladder to clean the windows. But when you stand on the roof you can see all the way out to see on a clear day, and that’ a wonderful experience. I am really glad we moved.”
61. What’s the writer trying to do in the text? A. Recommend a special builder. B. Explain how to win prizes for building work.
C. Describe what it is like to live in a tower. D. Describe how to turn an old tower into a house.
62. From the text, a reader can find out _________.
A. why Elizabeth exercises every day
B. why John and Elizabeth left their flat
C. why Elizabeth asked her father to buy the tower
D. why visitors are not welcome at John and Elizabeth’s house
63. Which of the following best describes Elizabeth’s feelings about the tower?
A. She wanted it as soon as she saw it. B. She likes most things about it.
C. She finds it unsuitable to live in it. D. She has been worried since they paid for it.
64. How would John and Elizabeth advertise their tower if they were to sell it?
A. B.
C. D.
（B）
Scientists have long believed one way to stop the Earth’s atmosphere from warming is by planting more trees. The idea is that more trees take in or absorb some of the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is a gas released by cars, factories and other human activities. The gas traps heat in Earth’s atmosphere, which warms the planet.
However, two new studies have found that trees may not be as helpful in reducing carbon dioxide as had been thought.
The first study was done at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina. Researchers pumped extra carbon dioxide into a test area where pine trees were growing. The trees grew thirty-four percent faster during the first three years. However, in time, the trees slowed to about their normal growth rate. The scientists say this is because trees need other nutrients, such as nitrogen(氮).
In the second study, researchers from Duke and Bowdon College in Brunswick, Maine examined the soil around the trees. They discovered that as the leaves broke down into the soil, all the carbon was not trapped in the soil. Much of it was released into the atmosphere as carbon dioxide.
Forest planting has been part of negotiations（商谈）on a world agreement to reduce green–house gases that scientists believe cause global warming. The United States, Canada, Japan and some other industrial countries have supported the idea. But this new research suggests the idea is not as effective as environmental activists have thought. Scientist Ram Oren of Duke University led the study on tree growth. He says that earlier estimates on the ability of forests to absorb carbon dioxide were overly hopeful.
Some scientists not involved in the studies say the research provides some of the first evidence on how trees react to carbon dioxide. Other scientists say the research throws doubt on a belief among some coal and power companies. The companies say that rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will not create harmful global warming. Instead, they say it will increase forests and other plants.
65. What is the purpose of this passage?
A. Introduce recent condition of global industrial pollution.
B. Call on people to plant more trees to reduce greenhouse gases.
C. Point out who should be responsible for the rising levels of carbon dioxide.
D. Introduce some new ides about the relationship between trees and carbon dioxide.
66. Why did the researchers do the two studies?
A. To prove that trees may not be as helpful in reducing carbon dioxide as had been thought.
B. To get more oxygen from these trees.
C. To evaluate the maximum carbon dioxide the trees can absorb.
D. To see the growth rate of these trees.
67. What happened to the fallen leaves after they broke down in the second study?
A. The main parts turned into oxygen.
B. The carbon content had mainly turned into carbon dioxide.
C. The carbon dioxide content was mainly absorbed in the soil.
D. They absorbed more carbon dioxide.
68. Scientists Ram Oren thinks common beliefs of the tree’s ability to absorb carbon dioxide are _______.
A. ambitious B. accurate C. over-optimistic D. totally wrong
(C)
The literal meaning of philosophy is “love of wisdom”. But this meaning does not tell us very much. Unlike the other disciplines（学科）, philosophy cannot be defined by what you study, because it is actually unlimited. Anything can be the subject matter of philosophy: art, history, law, language, literature, mathematics, medicine, psychology, religion, science, and values. Philosophy is one of the world’s oldest subjects of study, and in fact, the other academic disciplines are directly related to philosophy. For this reason you get a Doctorate（博士学位）of Philosophy (Ph. D.) in biochemistry, or computer science, or psychology.
Two broad sub-fields of philosophy are logic and the history of philosophy. Logic is the science of argument and critical thinking. It provides sound methods for distinguishing good from bad reasoning .The history of philosophy involves the study of major philosophers and period in the development of philosophy.
Of what use is philosophy? First it is useful in educational advancement. It is necessary for understanding other disciplines. Only philosophy questions the nature of the concepts used in a discipline, and its relation to other disciplines. And through the study of philosophy, one develops sound methods of research and analysis that can be applied to any field.
There are a number of general uses of philosophy. It strengthens one’s ability to solve problems, to communicate, to organize ideas and issues, to persuade, and to take what is the most important from a large quantity of data. These general uses are of great benefit in the career field, not necessarily for obtaining one’s first job after graduation, but for preparing for positions of responsibility, management and leadership later on. It is very short-sighted after all, to take a course of studies only for the purpose of getting one’s first job. The useful skills developed through the study of philosophy have significant long-term benefits in career advancement. No other discipline systematically follows the ideals of wisdom, leadership, and capacity to resolve human conflict.
69. According to Paragraph 1, philosophy can best be described as the study of .
A. social sciences B. natural sciences
C. both social and natural sciences D. the subject matter of politics
70. With the study of philosophy, you can .
A. become a great leader B. succeed in everything
C. find a good job soon after graduation D. make progress in your career development
71. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Philosophy is an independent discipline.
B. Logic helps you to become a better thinker.
C. The study of philosophy brings you immediate benefits.
D. The meaning of philosophy is too limited to define.
72. From the passage, we can conclude .
A. not all the subjects have to do with philosophy
B. a person will get a Ph. D. if he/she studies philosophy
C. philosophy can be helpful for the study of any other subjects
D. philosophy is the only solution to all the problems to the world
(D)
Professor Barry Wellman of the University of Toronto in Canada has invented a term to describe the way many North Americans interact (互动) these days. The term is “networked individualism”. This concept is not easy to understand because the words seem to have opposite meanings. How can we be individuals and be networked at the same time? You need other people for networks.
Here is what Professor Wellman means. Before the invention of the Internet and e-mail, our social networks included live interactions with relatives, neighbors, and friends. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it was still voice to voice, person to person, in real time.
A recent research study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project showed that for a lot of people, electronic interaction through the computer has replaced this person-to- person interaction. However, a lot of people interviewed for the Pew study say that’s a good thing. Why?
In the past, many people were worried that the Internet isolated (孤立) us and caused us to spend too much time in the imaginary world of the computer. But the Pew study discovered that the opposite is true. The Internet connects us with more real people than expected — helpful people who can give advice on careers, medical problems, raising children, and choosing a school or college. About 60 million Americans told Pew that the Internet plays an important role in helping them make major life decisions.
Thanks to the computer, we are able to be alone and together with other people — at the same time!
73. The underlined phrase “networked individualism” probably means that by using computers people ________.
A. stick to their own ways no matter what other people say
B. have the rights and freedom to do things of their own interest
C. do things in their own ways and express opinions different from other people
D. are able to keep to themselves but at the same time reach out to other people
74. According to the Pew study, what do many people rely on to make major life decisions?
A. Networks. B. Friends. C. Phones. D. Parents.
75. It can be inferred from the Pew study that _______.
A. people have been separated from each other by using computers
B. the Internet makes people waste a lot of time and feel very lonely
C. the Internet has become a tool for a new kind of social communication
D. a lot of people regard the person-to-person communication as a good thing
76. Which would be the best title for this passage?
A. We’re Alone on the Internet. B. We’re Communicating on the Internet.
C. We’re Alone Together on the Internet. D. We’re in the Imaginary World of the Internet.

Welcome to my Message Board!
Subject Slimming down classics?
Mr. Handsome
2007·5·12
&24.AM.
Orion Books, which decides there is a market in creating cut-down classics(经典著作), is slimming down some novels by such great writers as L. Tolstoy, M. Mitchell and C. Bronte. Now, each of them has been whittled down to about 400 pages by cutting 30 to 40 per cent of the original, with words, sentences, paragraphs and, in a few cases, chapters removed. The first six shortened editions, all priced at ￡6.99 and advertised as great reads “in half the time”, will go on sale next month, with plans for 50 to 100 more to follow. The publishing house believes that modern readers will welcome the shorter versions.
Mr. Edwards
2007-5-12
9:40 AM
Well, I’m publisher of Orion Group. Thanks for your attention, Mr. handsome.
I must say, the idea developed from a game of “shame” in my office. Each of us was required to confess (承认) to the most embarrassing blanks in his or her reading. I admitted that I had never read Anna Karenina and tried but failed to get through Gone with the Wind several times. One of my colleagues acknowledged skipping (跳读) Jane Eyre. We realized that life is too short to read all the books you want to and we never were going to read these ones.
As a leading publishing house, we are trying to make classics convenient for readers but it’s not as if we’re withdrawing the original versions. They are still there if you want to read them.
Ms. Weir
2007-5-12
11:35 AM
I’m director of the online bookclub www. lovereading.co.uk.
Mr. Edwards, I think your shortened editions is a breath of fresh air. I’m guilty of never having read Anna Karenina, because it’s just so long. I’d much rather read two 300 – page books than one 600 – page book. I am looking forward to more shortened classics!
Mr. Crockatt
2007-5-12
4:35 PM
I’m from the London independent bookshop Crockatt & Powell.
In my opinion, the practice is completely ridiculous. How can you edit the classics? I’m afraid reading some of these books is hard work, and that is why you have to develop as a reader. If people don’t have time to read Anna Karenina, then fine. But don’t read a shortened version and kid yourself it’s the real thing.
77．According to the message board, Orion Books .
A. opposes the reading of original classics B. is embarrassed for cutting down classics
C. thinks cut – down classics have a bright future D. is cautious in its decision to cut down classics
78．In Mr. Edwards’ opinion, Orion Group is shortening classics to .
A．make them easier to read B. meet a large demand in the market
C．increase the sales of literary books D. compete with their original versions
79. By describing the shortened classics as “a breath of fresh air”, Ms. Weir .
A．speaks highly of the cut – down classics B．shows her love for the original classics
C．feels guilty of not reading the classics D．disapproves of shortening the classics
80. Mr. Crockatt seems to imply that .
A．reading the classic works is a confusing attempt B．shortening the classics does harm to the original
C. publishing the cut–down classics is a difficult job D. editing the classic works satisfies children’s needs

A Letter To The Mayor of TownDear Mayor of Town，The purpose of writing
Your suggestions
Asking for consideration and expressing your thanksYours sincerely, Li Hua写作误区：标点符号滥用firstly. we should accept them for who they are. and treat them as normal people.
活动：activity （activities）
残疾人：the disabled, people with disabilities,
disabled people
正常人：normal people; non-disabled people; able-bodied people写作误区：常用词汇的缺乏要点①完全接受残疾人，把他们当作正常人看待；不要嘲笑他们
accept the disabled for who they are
take/treat/regard/consider them as normal people
make fun/fools of them
We should accept the disabled for who they are and take them as normal people. It is rude to play jokes on them.
We mustn’t laugh at the disabled. On the contrary, we should accept them for who they are and think of them as able-bodied people.
What we should keep in mind is that they are just less fortunate than us but of the same importance as us. That means we ought to consider them as non-disabled people instead of making fools of them.
写作误区：祈使句过多要点③了解残疾人在生活中的困难；遇到残疾人有困难， 要尽力帮忙。
learn/know about the difficulties that they face(定从)/ troubling them in their daily life
When they get into trouble, try our best to help them.
It’s of great value/benefit (It makes sense /It does great good) to learn about the difficulties they face in everyday life. In the meantime, we should offer any necessary help whenever they are in trouble.
The first step to offer help is to know how challenging their life is and be generous/never hesitate to give them a hand when necessary.If you meet the disabled have difficulties, we should help them do our best.要点④积极参加学校、社区组织的助残活动
As the public is becoming more aware of the responsibility to care for others, we are required to take an active part in any activities organized by local schools and communities to help the disabled.
we should take an active part in school’s or other organizations’ aid action. 要点⑤倡议人人去探望一次残疾人，让他们感受到社会大家庭的温暖，并以赠送礼物和帮助做家务表示关爱。
I suggest everyone pay a visit to the disabled, making them feel the warmth of our big social family. Also it’s a brilliant way to express your concern with some gifts.
Everyone was supposed/encouraged to visit the disabled so as to make them aware of the warmth of our big social family. In addition, give them some gifts and help them do the housework.
要点⑥呼吁政府部门采取措施，帮助他们找到适合自己 的工作，实现自我价值。
The government should take measures to help the disabled find suitable jobs, so that they will have a sense of self-worth and lead as meaningful and fulfilling a life as we do.
We are convinced that our government should make every effort to help the disabled. For example, make sure the disabled find suitable jobs, that is, they have the chance to realize their own value.
I’d like to call on the government to provide more suitable jobs for the disabled to earn an independent life. Only then can they live with confidence and dignity.The end:
I think it would do great good if you could…
There’s no doubt that it’s extremely meaningful to get your.
Nothing could be better if you join us.
I hope you will take my advice into account.
I hope you will consider my suggestions.
Thank you for reading my letter.
I’m looking forward to your support.
I always hold a firm belief that our world will be full of love as long as everyone learns to care for others.
Sample Dear Mayor of town,
National Aid to the Disabled Day, the day for us to do something for disabled people is around the corner, so I’m writing to give you a few suggestions to help them live a better life.
Above all, we should accept the disabled for who they are and take them as normal people. It is rude to make fun of them. It’s of great value to learn about the difficulties they face in everyday life(定语从句). In the meantime, we should offer any necessary help when they are in trouble. We should also take an active part in any activities organized by local schools and communities（后置定语） to help them. Besides, I suggest everyone pay a visit to the disabled, making(结果状语) them feel the warmth of our big social family. Also it’s brilliant to give them some gifts and help them with the housework. Finally, in my opinion, the government should take measures to help the disabled find suitable jobs, so that they will have a sense of self-worth and lead as meaningful and fulfilling a life as we do.
Thank you for reading my letter. I hope you can take my advice into account.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
