“It was said she was married to an officer in India long ago and she had a life of physical adventure as exciting as her poetry. Her husband could cross rivers, using crocodiles(鳄鱼) as stepping stones. He died when she was only thirty-nine. Unwilling to exist without him, she took her life, leaving a son in England.”
I stared at the paper, 16 reading, and I couldn’t help thinking.
They say, crocodiles are lazy animals as a rule, but they can 17 like lightning when they want to. And they don’t mind hurrying 18 they’re hungry. There used to be lots in Indian rivers, living on fish mostly; but what’s a little fish 19 a fifteen-foot crocodile? They ate people, fisherman or anyone else delicious enough to get too near; women doing the 20 , or children playing at the water’s 21 .A hungry crocodile’s mouth 22 over a meal with a sound like a gunshot. A big fellow can 23 in a man in two bites.
That woman’s husband crossed rivers 24 from one crocodile’s back to the next. I believe it. It had to be done 25 before the creature could see what was happening. It wasn’t 26 a brave, active man; and no doubt he improved with practice. He could never look 27 while crossing.
The wife used to watch him—I felt 28 of that. She lived 29 the adventure the 30 excitement of it all. Their real life was with tigers, snakes.... It’s no wonder she wrote 31 poetry.
Then he 32 .I imagined how she felt. Was there another man 33 him in India, in the world? She was still young, hardly a sitting-room widow(寡妇).“I must 34 , too,”she said to herself. So she did what she felt she had to do. A 35 probably, to her head.
But her young son, their son? Was her love for him nothing compared to her husband? Well, what do you think?
16.A.started B. began C. finished D. stopped

20.A.shopping B. washing C. cooking D. cleaning
21.A.border B. end C. side D. edge

Ⅲ.阅读理解(共15小题;每小题2分,满分30分)
A
Japanese history has been shaped to an important degree by the influence of geographic location. It is somewhat like the British Isles at the other and of the Eurasian landmass. The Japanese islands, however, are more independent than the British Isles; 115 miles separate them from the mainland, compared with the 21-mile width of the English Channel. Thus before their defeat by the USA, the Japanese has been seriously threatened by foreign invasion only in the thirteenth century. The Japanese, therefore, have been close enough to the mainland to benefit from the great Chinese civilization, but distant enough to be able to choose and refuse as they wished. In fact the Japanese have been unusually quick and clever in what they have brought in from abroad. Although widely regarded as a nation of borrowers they have independently developed, because of their independence, their own culture.
36.Which of the following shows the correct geographic location of the British Isles, Japan and the Eurasian landmas?
E—the Eurasian; B—the British Isles; J—Japan
37.Why do we say the Japanese are borrowers?
A. Because they are easily influenced by their neighbours.
B. Because the Japanese islands are more independent.
C. Because they were defeated by the USA.
D. Because they are good at bringing in everything they need from abroad.
38.Japan develops her own culture in order to__________.
A. make other developments
B. be quicker and cleverer to bring in what she wants to
C. keep independent D. be dependent
39.Japanese history has been shaped by the influence of geographic location because______.
A. Japan is too far from the mainland to the conquered
B. Japan is so near to the mainland that she can easily learn everything there
C. Japan is near enough to be helped and far enough to be independent
D. China helped Japan a lot and let her choose what she liked and give up what she disliked

COUPONS（股票）
Supermarkets and large drugstores often run ads in newspapers.
Many supermarkets also have product coupons printed in the newspaper. A coupon is a promise to take money off the price of a certain product. Coupons are often printed on small pieces of paper.
Coupons have product names on them. If you buy the product, you give the cashier your coupon along with everything you buy. The cashier will subtract the amount printed on the coupon from the full price of the product.
Coupons are small and have lots of information printed on them. You should read them carefully.
One thing you will find on the coupon is an expiration date. An expiration date is the date that tells when something can not be used any more.
You may also find conditions for using the coupon. Conditions tell you the rules of the coupon. They tell you how the coupon may be used. For example, a coupon may be good for only the smallest size of an item.
40.We can find all of the following on coupons EXCEPT _________.
A. product names B. expiration dates
C. full prices of the products D. conditions for using them
41.According to the passage, a coupon holder can _________.
A. save some money B. get products for free
C. pay less for everything D. use them at any time
42.How much will you pay for two Yogurts and four Tastees with the coupons?
A. $8.00. B. $9.00. C. $13.00. D. $15.00.
C
The West began to take more notice of the East. The fifth volume of an enormous work reassessing the Chinese contribution to science and technology is to be published next year. The first volume, which was published twenty years ago, set the tone for the whole work. In it, evidence was given to show that many inventions which, until then, western historians had claimed for Europe, were made first in China. The attempt to rewrite the intellectual history of the world was not received without protest by some reputable historians. However, the evidence that has been presented so far in the first four volumes has persuaded many historians who were skeptical at first. China’s invention of paper, printing, the magnetic compass and gunpowder has never been disputed, but this new history has added advanced bridge design, mechanical clocks, paddle boats and many other inventions to the list.
In the four volumes published so far no attempt has been made to explain why China has not kept up with the West in science and technology in modern times. It is probable that the answer is to be found in the social and economic history of China, where a static(稳定的) society under a relatively kind regime(政权) of scholar-gentry(贵族) contrasts with the potentially revolutionary and dynamic(有活力的) society of the West at the end of the Middle Ages. In recent years, the Chinese government has been making every effort to catch up with the West again, and there is little doubt that the gap is being reduced year by year. But will China avoid the West’s mistakes?
43.The first volume was published__________.
A. ten years ago B. last year C. five years ago D. twenty years ago
44.In Line 7,the word “skeptical” means _________.
A. doubtful B. worried C. sad D. angry
45.Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?
A. Gunpowder. B. Needle. C. Paddle boats. D. Bridge design.
46.The best title for this passage is _________.
A. China’s Inventions
B. Comparisons Between the East and the West
C. China Is Catching Up
D. Situations in China
D
According to the dictionary definition of“create, ordinary people are creative every day”.To create means“to bring into being, to cause to exist something each of us does daily”.
We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way. First, this includes an awareness(意识) of our surroundings. It means using all of our senses to become aware of our world. This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture(质地),as well as taste, when we plan a meal. Above all, it is the ability to notice things that others might miss.
A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things. If we believe the expression,“There is nothing new under the sun, the creativity is remaking or recombining(重组) the old in new ways.”For example, we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture, or we might make a new combination of camera lenses andfilters to create an unusual photograph.
A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas, to ask for them to achieve some new results. To think up a new idea is one thing; to put the idea to work is another.
These three parts of creativity are included in all the great works of geniuses, but they are also included in many of our day-to-day activities.
47.Which of the following activities is NOT a creative one according to the passage?
A. To prepare for a meal. B. To arrange the furniture in a special way.
C. To buy some books from a bookstore.
D. To“write”a letter with the computer.
48.“There is nothing new under the sun” really implies that _________.
A. a new thing can only be created at the basis of earliest things
B. a new thing is only a tale
C. we can seldom create new things
D. we can hardly see really new things in the world
49.What does the author think about the relationship between a new thought and its being put into practice?
A. It’s more difficult to create a new thought than to use it in practice.
B. To find a new thought will clearly lead to the production of a new thing.
C.A man with an excellent ability of practice can easily become an inventor.
D. One may come up with a new thought, but can not put it into practice.
50.The best title for this passage is__________.
A. How to Develop One’s Creativity B. What Is Creativity
C. The Importance of Creativity D. Creativity, a Not Faraway Thing

第二节：阅读表达（10分）
People are making more and more demands on the world’s natural resources. If babies born in 1991 live for eighty years, the human population of the world may be anything from twice to three times the present total by 2070. In other words, they will have to share what is left of the earth’s resources with 15 billion other people. But hopefully there will be an important decrease in the growth of population. What if this does not happen? The answer is that by the time before the babies born in 1991 reach the age of 40 they could be sharing resources with as many as 10 billion other people.
Limiting the pollution of water and the atmosphere, controlling the output of the chemicals that may be causing the global warming and climate change, and eating less meat may go some help, but can anyone seriously imagine that these are going to solve the problems of the “baby class” of 1991?
There is no getting away from the fact that people are responsible for the present state of the world, and only people can solve the problems. The decisions have to be taken by people as members of national and local governments; as leaders and decision-makers in industry; as scientists and technologists; as professional engineers and designers; as religious leaders and individual citizens.
1. What is the best title of the passage?
2. What does the author mean by “the problems of the baby class of 1991”?
3. Is this short passage is probably taken from a news report or a guide to the world ?
4. How many kinds of people are mentioned in the last paragraph as people responsible for the present state of the world?
5. How many other people will the babies born in 1991 be sharing resources with?.

It’s clear that reading e-books saves time. What we need comes within our reach by just a click of the mouse. There’s no doubt that e-books meet the needs of modern people who live in this fast-paced society. Trees, which are used to make traditional books, can be left to survive and provide green shades for humans.
However, traditional books are much favored by those who are interested in owning books. They collect them for future use or simply out of their particular hobby. Some even think the touch of a favorite book gives them a sense of satisfaction. Owning them in their private small library is of course a pride.
In my opinion, however popular e-books will be, traditional books will not be replaced by e-books in the near future. People will read either e-books or traditional books depending on different occasions.

COUPONS（股票）
Supermarkets and large drugstores often run ads in newspapers.
Many supermarkets also have product coupons printed in the newspaper. A coupon is a promise to take money off the price of a certain product. Coupons are often printed on small pieces of paper.
Coupons have product names on them. If you buy the product, you give the cashier your coupon along with everything you buy. The cashier will subtract the amount printed on the coupon from the full price of the product.
Coupons are small and have lots of information printed on them. You should read them carefully.
One thing you will find on the coupon is an expiration date. An expiration date is the date that tells when something can not be used any more.
You may also find conditions for using the coupon. Conditions tell you the rules of the coupon. They tell you how the coupon may be used. For example, a coupon may be good for only the smallest size of an item.
40.We can find all of the following on coupons EXCEPT _________.
A. product names B. expiration dates
C. full prices of the products D. conditions for using them

The West began to take more notice of the East. The fifth volume of an enormous work reassessing the Chinese contribution to science and technology is to be published next year. The first volume, which was published twenty years ago, set the tone for the whole work. In it, evidence was given to show that many inventions which, until then, western historians had claimed for Europe, were made first in China. The attempt to rewrite the intellectual history of the world was not received without protest by some reputable historians. However, the evidence that has been presented so far in the first four volumes has persuaded many historians who were skeptical at first. China’s invention of paper, printing, the magnetic compass and gunpowder has never been disputed, but this new history has added advanced bridge design, mechanical clocks, paddle boats and many other inventions to the list.
In the four volumes published so far no attempt has been made to explain why China has not kept up with the West in science and technology in modern times. It is probable that the answer is to be found in the social and economic history of China, where a static(稳定的) society under a relatively kind regime(政权) of scholar-gentry(贵族) contrasts with the potentially revolutionary and dynamic(有活力的) society of the West at the end of the Middle Ages. In recent years, the Chinese government has been making every effort to catch up with the West again, and there is little doubt that the gap is being reduced year by year. But will China avoid the West’s mistakes?
43.The first volume was published__________.
A. ten years ago B. last year C. five years ago D. twenty years ago
44.In Line 7,the word “skeptical” means _________.
A. doubtful B. worried C. sad D. angry
45.Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage?
A. Gunpowder. B. Needle. C. Paddle boats. D. Bridge design.
46.The best title for this passage is _________.
A. China’s Inventions
B. Comparisons Between the East and the West
C. China Is Catching Up
D. Situations in China

According to the dictionary definition of“create, ordinary people are creative every day”.To create means“to bring into being, to cause to exist something each of us does daily”.
We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way. First, this includes an awareness(意识) of our surroundings. It means using all of our senses to become aware of our world. This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture(质地),as well as taste, when we plan a meal. Above all, it is the ability to notice things that others might miss.
A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things. If we believe the expression,“There is nothing new under the sun, the creativity is remaking or recombining(重组) the old in new ways.”For example, we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture, or we might make a new combination of camera lenses andfilters to create an unusual photograph.
A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas, to ask for them to achieve some new results. To think up a new idea is one thing; to put the idea to work is another.
These three parts of creativity are included in all the great works of geniuses, but they are also included in many of our day-to-day activities.
47.Which of the following activities is NOT a creative one according to the passage?
A. To prepare for a meal. B. To arrange the furniture in a special way.
C. To buy some books from a bookstore.
D. To“write”a letter with the computer.
48.“There is nothing new under the sun” really implies that _________.
A. a new thing can only be created at the basis of earliest things
B. a new thing is only a tale
C. we can seldom create new things
D. we can hardly see really new things in the world
49.What does the author think about the relationship between a new thought and its being put into practice?
A. It’s more difficult to create a new thought than to use it in practice.
B. To find a new thought will clearly lead to the production of a new thing.
C.A man with an excellent ability of practice can easily become an inventor.
D. One may come up with a new thought, but can not put it into practice.
50.The best title for this passage is__________.
A. How to Develop One’s Creativity B. What Is Creativity
C. The Importance of Creativity D. Creativity, a Not Faraway Thing

第二节：阅读表达（10分）
People are making more and more demands on the world’s natural resources. If babies born in 1991 live for eighty years, the human population of the world may be anything from twice to three times the present total by 2070. In other words, they will have to share what is left of the earth’s resources with 15 billion other people. But hopefully there will be an important decrease in the growth of population. What if this does not happen? The answer is that by the time before the babies born in 1991 reach the age of 40 they could be sharing resources with as many as 10 billion other people.
Limiting the pollution of water and the atmosphere, controlling the output of the chemicals that may be causing the global warming and climate change, and eating less meat may go some help, but can anyone seriously imagine that these are going to solve the problems of the “baby class” of 1991?
There is no getting away from the fact that people are responsible for the present state of the world, and only people can solve the problems. The decisions have to be taken by people as members of national and local governments; as leaders and decision-makers in industry; as scientists and technologists; as professional engineers and designers; as religious leaders and individual citizens.
1. What is the best title of the passage?
2. What does the author mean by “the problems of the baby class of 1991”?
3. Is this short passage is probably taken from a news report or a guide to the world ?
4. How many kinds of people are mentioned in the last paragraph as people responsible for the present state of the world?
5. How many other people will the babies born in 1991 be sharing resources with?.

Ⅴ.书面表达
It’s clear that reading e-books saves time. What we need comes within our reach by just a click of the mouse. There’s no doubt that e-books meet the needs of modern people who live in this fast-paced society. Trees, which are used to make traditional books, can be left to survive and provide green shades for humans.
However, traditional books are much favored by those who are interested in owning books. They collect them for future use or simply out of their particular hobby. Some even think the touch of a favorite book gives them a sense of satisfaction. Owning them in their private small library is of course a pride.
In my opinion, however popular e-books will be, traditional books will not be replaced by e-books in the near future. People will read either e-books or traditional books depending on different occasions.
