They stood outside the door－two children in shabby outgrown coats.
“Any old papers, lady?”
I was busy, I wanted to say no until I saw the snow on the clothes. And their little sandals（凉鞋）were also covered with snow.
“Come in and I’ll make you a cup of hot cocoa.”
There was no conversation. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor, I served them cocoa and toast with jam to strengthen them against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started again on my household.
The silence in the front room got me to look inside. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice,“Lady. Are you rich?”
“Am I rich? Mercy, no!”
I looked at my shabby sofa. The girl put her cup back in its saucer carefully.
“Your cups match our saucers,” she said.
They left then, holding their bundles of papers against the wind. They hadn’t said thank you, They didn’t need to .They had done more than that. Plain blue cups and saucers were only worth five pence, but they matched.
I tasted the potatoes and looked at the meat. Potatoes and meat, the roof over my head, my man with a good steady job－these things matched, too .
I moved the chairs back from the fire and tidied the living room. The muddy prints of small sandals were still wet upon my floor, I let them be. I wanted them there in case I ever forget again how very rich I am.

Research scientists say they have discovered a new drug that will help the fight against the disease tuberculosis（肺结核）. Experts say it has been shown in animal experiments to clear tuberculosis bacterium two times faster than other medicines. Scientists have just begun go test the experimental drug in people.
Tuberculosis infects at least eight million people each year. It also is one of the leading causes of death around the world. Only AIDS more.
Tuberculosis spreads easily through the air, by coughing, sneezing or even talking. But people infected with the tuberculosis bacterium will not necessarily become sick. The organism can live in the body for years before becoming active.
Koen Andries led the effort to develop the new drug. He said the new drug is the first such medicine to be tested in people since rifampin was developed in 1963.
Today, rifampin is used with two other medicines to treat tuberculosis. The drugs must be taken for up to nine months. But experts say the treatment is no longer effective against the disease in many parts of the world. They say this is because the bacterium has developed defenses against the treatment. Doctors say the resistance resulted from patients failing to follow directions for the medicines.
Doctors Andries says the new drug works differently than other ones It blocks the energy supply of the organism. He also says the drug appears to be most effective when given with the older drugs.
Limited human tests of the new drug have shown that it is safe. But some researchers warn that it may not work as well in people as it has in mice.
( )60. According to the passage. We can conclude that .
A．it’s easy to treat tuberculosis if you follow the doctor’s directions
B．tuberculosis causes the second largest number of deaths each year
C. the new drug won’t develop resistance against the treatment

A. say that AIDS is more dangerous than tuberculosis
B. tell us that the new drug will be sure to remove the patient’s pain
C. say that being healthy is most important to us
D. introduce a new research result
（ ）62.We can infer from the passage that .
A. the new drug is more effective on mice
B. the new drug can also treat the AIDS
C. people began to use the new drug to treat tuberculosis
D. we must be careful when using the new drug
（ ）63.What does the underlined word “It” in the last paragraph but one refer to ?

MySpace, the social networking website, is different from other websites which only provide stories about other people. MySpace is a place that allows you to broadcast your own stories and personal information to as many people as you like. Started two years ago, it is a big source of information for and about American kids.
Teenagers and their parents feel very differently about it. Teens are rushing to join the site, not sharing their parents’ worries. It signals yet another generation gap in the digital era.
For teenagers, it is a reliable network to keep in touch with their friends. They will often list their surnames, birthdays, after-school jobs, school clubs, hobbies and other personal information.
“MySpace is an easy way to reach just about everyone. I don’t have all the phone numbers of my acquaintances. But if I want to get in touch with one of them, I could just leave them a message on MySpace,” said Abby Van Wassen. She is a 16-year-old student at Woodland Hills High of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania.
Parents on the other hand are seriously concerned about the security problems of MySpace
“Every time we hold a parents meeting, the first question is always about MySpace ,” said Kent Cates, who travels the country doing Internet safety seminars(研讨会). The National Centre for missing and Exploited Children has received at least 288 MySpace-related complaints, according to Mary Beth Buchanan, a lawyer in Pittsburg. “Your profile on MySpace shows all your personal information to anyone on the Web. And MySpace even lists this information by birthplace and age. It’s like a free checklist for trouble-makers and it endangers children”.Buchanan said.
( )64. From the passage, we can learn that Myspace .
A. brings about the generation gap
B. is very careful about people’s privacy
C. encourages you to list your personal information
D. lists the telephone numbers of your friends.
（ ）65.Why are some parents against MySpace?
A. Because they think MySpace has a bad influence on their children.
B. Because they don’t want to pay so much money for MySpace.
C. Because it takes up too much of their children’s spare time.
D. Because trouble-makers can easily approach their children through the site.
（ ）66.What can we infer from“Every time we hold a parents meeting, the first question is always about MySpace”?
A. MySpace has become a top issue troubling parents.
B. MySpace often holds parents meetings.
C. MySpace is quite popular with parents.
D. Parents have lots of questions about the website.
（ ）67.The writer’s attitude towards MySpace is .
A. negative B. positive C. optimistic D. objective

A. Internet Safety. B. MySpace. C. Generation Gap. D. The Digital Era

Belgian art lovers get a rare chance of watching some of the most precious collections of China’s top museum, when they were put on display in a Brussels art centre on Wednesday.
Eighty-five paintings by Chinese masters from the 15th to the 20th century, drawn from the collection of the Palace Museum in Beijing, stood side by side with 92 works by Belgian painters during the same period, such as Pieter Brueghel and Peter Paul Rubens, in a unique exhibition in the Brussels Centre for Fine Arts.
“The exhibition, the Forbidden Empire, was designed so that visitors can observe both the relationships and the differences between the two groups’ painters in terms of themes, techniques, and visions,” said Yu Hui, the Chinese curator of the show.
Yu, who heads the research department of the Palace Museum, said it was also the first time that the museum organized an exhibition in Europe that shows paintings covering more than 500 years of history.
“A majority of the works on show had never been displayed in Europe and have high artistic value,” he said, naming items like Clouded Mountains by Shi Tao from the Qing Dynasty, and Mandarin Ducks and Lotus Flowers by Chen Hongshou in Ming Dynasty
The show ,which will run through May 6, was a co-production of the Palace Museum and the Brussels Centre for Fine Arts, with the participation of a number of Belgian and foreign museums, including the Abertina in Vienna, Austria and the Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
The exhibition will travel to the Palace Museum in June
( )69.What do you think the writer wants to tell us readers?

第二节 简答题（共3小题；每小题2分，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。
Airport security has been tightened after the terrorist attacks of September11. When people fly, their identity is carefully checked. This ,at least, eliminates known dangerous people but, of course, can not help with new recruits (新成员)or cases of forged documents. More important is the effort to keep passengers from bringing on board anything that could be used as a weapon. For this purpose, all passengers have to pass through a metal detector. These work by means of a series of very brief magnetic fields. Metal objects affect these fields as they disappear, and in fact make them last a few microseconds longer than normal. The machine can recognize this and then sends an audio signal to alert staff. When this happens. The passenger will be subject to more detailed search to establish what is causing the detection to react.
Passengers’ luggage passes on a conveyor belt through an X-ray machine. This sends out electro-magnetic waves. Since different materials absorb X-rays at different levels, with a little help from a computer. The operator can see distinct items in people’s bags. The display monitor usually shows different types of materials in different colors. Explosives usually appear orange. Operators also look for suspicious shapes and items. If they have any doubts. The passenger will be asked to open the bag for inspection.
Complex electronic equipment, such as laptop computers, offers a considerable challenge to detectors. It is almost impossible to know what is hidden is one just by looking. Some airports tackle this with “chemical sniffers” that is hidden in one just by looking. Some airports tackle this with “chemical sniffers” that can detect traces of chemicals used in explosives.
73. Find a word in the passage similar in meaning to the word in bold “distinct”.
74.Why do all passengers have to get checked?(不超过9个单词)
75.What is the greatest challenge to a detector according to the passage?(不超过6个单词)

Millions of people visit Yosemite National Park every year to see the tall waterfalls and mountains. These mountains are a splendid sight when viewed from the valley floor. Lots of stores, hotels, and restaurants are needed to handle the crowds. Also, Water, roads, and other service systems are part of the infrastructure(基础设施) that must be maintained.
Unfortunately, these systems are starting to break down, It，s not just in Yosemite but in national parks around the nation.
Yosemite is thirty years old according to Dennis Galvin, a National Park Service worker. The Park is not only old but worn out. Two or three times as many visitors come every year. That is too many visitors for the park to deal with.
Four years ago a storm washed out a water pipeline in the Grand Canyon. The National park Service had to send water trucks to provide water for the visitors. Last month pipes almost broke again and roads had to be closed for a while.
Why hasn’t the National Park Service kept up the park repairs? There is a lack of money, The United States has 378 monuments, parks and wilderness areas. Between three and four billion dollars are needed for repairs.
Yosemite is one national park that does have money for repairs. It has two hundred million dollars but cannot spend it and way it chooses. When the park workers started widening the road, they were forced to stop by the Sierra Club. The club claimed that the road work was damaging the Merced River that runs through the park.
A sierra Club lawyer, Julia Olson, feels that the infrastructure needs to be moved out of Yosemite. That way less pressure will be put on the already crowded park.

One possible version:
Of late, the rate of newly-founded Confucius Institutes worldwide has brought a pleasant surprise (stir), which fully indicates popularizing Mandarin is unavoidable. In the past two years, over 100 new Institutes have been set up, covering more than 50 countries and districts. It is estimated that the number will reach up to 500 by 2010.
Personally, it is a great honor for us Chinese to possess / have such a tide. The main reason lies in our rapid growth in economy and all-around national power. Secondly, it results from the fact that more and more Chinese are settling/ developing overseas and they take our splendid culture with them. It is also one of the major measures for China to transform from a big nation to a power. As we know, if a country intends to be a super power, the globalization of its official language comes first.

They stood outside the door－two children in shabby outgrown coats.
“Any old papers, lady?”
I was busy, I wanted to say no until I saw the snow on the clothes. And their little sandals（凉鞋）were also covered with snow.
“Come in and I’ll make you a cup of hot cocoa.”
There was no conversation. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor, I served them cocoa and toast with jam to strengthen them against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started again on my household.
The silence in the front room got me to look inside. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice,“Lady. Are you rich?”
“Am I rich? Mercy, no!”
I looked at my shabby sofa. The girl put her cup back in its saucer carefully.
“Your cups match our saucers,” she said.
They left then, holding their bundles of papers against the wind. They hadn’t said thank you, They didn’t need to .They had done more than that. Plain blue cups and saucers were only worth five pence, but they matched.
I tasted the potatoes and looked at the meat. Potatoes and meat, the roof over my head, my man with a good steady job－these things matched, too .
I moved the chairs back from the fire and tidied the living room. The muddy prints of small sandals were still wet upon my floor, I let them be. I wanted them there in case I ever forget again how very rich I am.

Research scientists say they have discovered a new drug that will help the fight against the disease tuberculosis（肺结核）. Experts say it has been shown in animal experiments to clear tuberculosis bacterium two times faster than other medicines. Scientists have just begun go test the experimental drug in people.
Tuberculosis infects at least eight million people each year. It also is one of the leading causes of death around the world. Only AIDS more.
Tuberculosis spreads easily through the air, by coughing, sneezing or even talking. But people infected with the tuberculosis bacterium will not necessarily become sick. The organism can live in the body for years before becoming active.
Koen Andries led the effort to develop the new drug. He said the new drug is the first such medicine to be tested in people since rifampin was developed in 1963.
Today, rifampin is used with two other medicines to treat tuberculosis. The drugs must be taken for up to nine months. But experts say the treatment is no longer effective against the disease in many parts of the world. They say this is because the bacterium has developed defenses against the treatment. Doctors say the resistance resulted from patients failing to follow directions for the medicines.
Doctors Andries says the new drug works differently than other ones It blocks the energy supply of the organism. He also says the drug appears to be most effective when given with the older drugs.
Limited human tests of the new drug have shown that it is safe. But some researchers warn that it may not work as well in people as it has in mice.
( )60. According to the passage. We can conclude that .
A．it’s easy to treat tuberculosis if you follow the doctor’s directions

B. the new drug can also treat the AIDS
C. people began to use the new drug to treat tuberculosis
D. we must be careful when using the new drug
（ ）63.What does the underlined word “It” in the last paragraph but one refer to ?

MySpace, the social networking website, is different from other websites which only provide stories about other people. MySpace is a place that allows you to broadcast your own stories and personal information to as many people as you like. Started two years ago, it is a big source of information for and about American kids.
Teenagers and their parents feel very differently about it. Teens are rushing to join the site, not sharing their parents’ worries. It signals yet another generation gap in the digital era.
For teenagers, it is a reliable network to keep in touch with their friends. They will often list their surnames, birthdays, after-school jobs, school clubs, hobbies and other personal information.
“MySpace is an easy way to reach just about everyone. I don’t have all the phone numbers of my acquaintances. But if I want to get in touch with one of them, I could just leave them a message on MySpace,” said Abby Van Wassen. She is a 16-year-old student at Woodland Hills High of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania.
Parents on the other hand are seriously concerned about the security problems of MySpace
“Every time we hold a parents meeting, the first question is always about MySpace ,” said Kent Cates, who travels the country doing Internet safety seminars(研讨会). The National Centre for missing and Exploited Children has received at least 288 MySpace-related complaints, according to Mary Beth Buchanan, a lawyer in Pittsburg. “Your profile on MySpace shows all your personal information to anyone on the Web. And MySpace even lists this information by birthplace and age. It’s like a free checklist for trouble-makers and it endangers children”.Buchanan said.
( )64. From the passage, we can learn that Myspace .
A. brings about the generation gap
B. is very careful about people’s privacy
C. encourages you to list your personal information
D. lists the telephone numbers of your friends.
（ ）65.Why are some parents against MySpace?
A. Because they think MySpace has a bad influence on their children.
B. Because they don’t want to pay so much money for MySpace.
C. Because it takes up too much of their children’s spare time.
D. Because trouble-makers can easily approach their children through the site.
（ ）66.What can we infer from“Every time we hold a parents meeting, the first question is always about MySpace”?
A. MySpace has become a top issue troubling parents.
B. MySpace often holds parents meetings.
C. MySpace is quite popular with parents.
D. Parents have lots of questions about the website.
（ ）67.The writer’s attitude towards MySpace is .

Belgian art lovers get a rare chance of watching some of the most precious collections of China’s top museum, when they were put on display in a Brussels art centre on Wednesday.
Eighty-five paintings by Chinese masters from the 15th to the 20th century, drawn from the collection of the Palace Museum in Beijing, stood side by side with 92 works by Belgian painters during the same period, such as Pieter Brueghel and Peter Paul Rubens, in a unique exhibition in the Brussels Centre for Fine Arts.
“The exhibition, the Forbidden Empire, was designed so that visitors can observe both the relationships and the differences between the two groups’ painters in terms of themes, techniques, and visions,” said Yu Hui, the Chinese curator of the show.
Yu, who heads the research department of the Palace Museum, said it was also the first time that the museum organized an exhibition in Europe that shows paintings covering more than 500 years of history.
“A majority of the works on show had never been displayed in Europe and have high artistic value,” he said, naming items like Clouded Mountains by Shi Tao from the Qing Dynasty, and Mandarin Ducks and Lotus Flowers by Chen Hongshou in Ming Dynasty
The show ,which will run through May 6, was a co-production of the Palace Museum and the Brussels Centre for Fine Arts, with the participation of a number of Belgian and foreign museums, including the Abertina in Vienna, Austria and the Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.
The exhibition will travel to the Palace Museum in June

第二节 简答题（共3小题；每小题2分，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。
Airport security has been tightened after the terrorist attacks of September11. When people fly, their identity is carefully checked. This ,at least, eliminates known dangerous people but, of course, can not help with new recruits (新成员)or cases of forged documents. More important is the effort to keep passengers from bringing on board anything that could be used as a weapon. For this purpose, all passengers have to pass through a metal detector. These work by means of a series of very brief magnetic fields. Metal objects affect these fields as they disappear, and in fact make them last a few microseconds longer than normal. The machine can recognize this and then sends an audio signal to alert staff. When this happens. The passenger will be subject to more detailed search to establish what is causing the detection to react.
Passengers’ luggage passes on a conveyor belt through an X-ray machine. This sends out electro-magnetic waves. Since different materials absorb X-rays at different levels, with a little help from a computer. The operator can see distinct items in people’s bags. The display monitor usually shows different types of materials in different colors. Explosives usually appear orange. Operators also look for suspicious shapes and items. If they have any doubts. The passenger will be asked to open the bag for inspection.
Complex electronic equipment, such as laptop computers, offers a considerable challenge to detectors. It is almost impossible to know what is hidden is one just by looking. Some airports tackle this with “chemical sniffers” that is hidden in one just by looking. Some airports tackle this with “chemical sniffers” that can detect traces of chemicals used in explosives.
73. Find a word in the passage similar in meaning to the word in bold “distinct”.
74.Why do all passengers have to get checked?(不超过9个单词)
75.What is the greatest challenge to a detector according to the passage?(不超过6个单词)

Millions of people visit Yosemite National Park every year to see the tall waterfalls and mountains. These mountains are a splendid sight when viewed from the valley floor. Lots of stores, hotels, and restaurants are needed to handle the crowds. Also, Water, roads, and other service systems are part of the infrastructure(基础设施) that must be maintained.
Unfortunately, these systems are starting to break down, It，s not just in Yosemite but in national parks around the nation.
Yosemite is thirty years old according to Dennis Galvin, a National Park Service worker. The Park is not only old but worn out. Two or three times as many visitors come every year. That is too many visitors for the park to deal with.
Four years ago a storm washed out a water pipeline in the Grand Canyon. The National park Service had to send water trucks to provide water for the visitors. Last month pipes almost broke again and roads had to be closed for a while.
Why hasn’t the National Park Service kept up the park repairs? There is a lack of money, The United States has 378 monuments, parks and wilderness areas. Between three and four billion dollars are needed for repairs.
Yosemite is one national park that does have money for repairs. It has two hundred million dollars but cannot spend it and way it chooses. When the park workers started widening the road, they were forced to stop by the Sierra Club. The club claimed that the road work was damaging the Merced River that runs through the park.
A sierra Club lawyer, Julia Olson, feels that the infrastructure needs to be moved out of Yosemite. That way less pressure will be put on the already crowded park.

84 Solution 85 To move (Moving/ Move)
One possible version:
Of late, the rate of newly-founded Confucius Institutes worldwide has brought a pleasant surprise (stir), which fully indicates popularizing Mandarin is unavoidable. In the past two years, over 100 new Institutes have been set up, covering more than 50 countries and districts. It is estimated that the number will reach up to 500 by 2010.
Personally, it is a great honor for us Chinese to possess / have such a tide. The main reason lies in our rapid growth in economy and all-around national power. Secondly, it results from the fact that more and more Chinese are settling/ developing overseas and they take our splendid culture with them. It is also one of the major measures for China to transform from a big nation to a power. As we know, if a country intends to be a super power, the globalization of its official language comes first.
