Have you ever been ill? When you are ill, you must be unhappy because your body becomes hot, and there are pains all over your body. You don't want to work, you stay in bed, feeling very sad. What makes us ill? It is germs (细菌) . Germs are everywhere. They are very small and you can't find them with your eyes, but you can see them with a microscope. They are very very small and there could be hundreds of them on a very small thing. Germs are always found in dirty water. When we look at dirty water under the microscope, we shall see them in it.

As one of the most successful singers of the twentieth century, Ella Fitzgerald has made several different styles of her own. She was born in Virginia but was brought up in Yonkers, New York. Chick Webb noticed her in a competition when she was sixteen. He asked her to sing with his band, and when he died in 1939, she took it over. Unlike Bessie Smith, Ella Fitzgerald taught herself the sentimental music so popular in the 1930’s--- songs like “My Heart Belongs to Daddy” ---- and her recordings became best sellers. During the 1940’s she developed her own “scat singing”, for songs like “Flying Home” and “Lady Be Good”. Ella Fitzgerald was the perfect musical partner for her friend，the trumpeter Louis Arm-strong, matching him in warmth and artistry. “I just like music.” she said. “To me, it’s a story. There’s only one thing better than singing… it is singing.”
41. Where did Fitzgerald spend most of her childhood?

Any mistake which is made in the printing of a stamp raised its value to stamp collectors. A mistake on a two-penny stamp has made it worth a million and a half times its face value.
Do you think it possible? However, it’s true.
The mistake was made more than 100 years ago in Mauritius, a small island in the Indian Ocean, which was a British colony at that time. In 1846, an order for stamps was sent to London. Thus Mauritius became the fourth country in the world which had the stamps made in other countries.
Before the order was filled, that is, the stamps arrived from England, a big dance party was planned by the commander-in-chief of all the armed forces on the island. The party would be held in his house and letters of invitation would be sent to all the important people in Mauritius. So stamps were badly needed to post the letters. Therefore, an islander, who was a good printer, was told to copy the pattern of the stamps. He carelessly put the words “Post Office” instead of “Post Paid”, two words seen on the stamps at that time, on several hundred stamps that he printed.
Today, there are only 26 of these misprinted stamps left—fourteen One-penny Reds and twelve Two-penny Blues. Because there are so few Two-penny Blues and because of their age, collectors have paid as much as $16,800 for each of them.
46. Which of the following can be a title for the passage?
A. How Can a Stamp Be Worth $16,800
B. Printer Made a Mistake
C. Stamp-collection Calls for Much Money
D. A Dance Party Planned
47. When a mistake is made in the printing of a stamp, the stamp will _____.
A. be no use B. be of more value

48. Mauritius is _____.

B. an Indian island
C. the name of a country in the Indian Ocean
D. the name of the commander-in-chief
49. The Two-penny Blues and One-penny Reds are valuable because _____.
A. the islander misprinted “Post Paid” on them instead of “Post Office”
B. they were made in Mauritius
C. they are rare and old
D. they can tell us an old story
50. In the passage the word “misprint” may mean _____.
A. print with a miss B. print without permission
C. use greater letters to print D. make a mistake in printing
D
The world's most famous awards, the Nobel Prizes, are given to those who have made great contributions to human beings. The irony(具有讽刺意味的事情) is that they are named after a 19th century scientist who invented explosives (炸药) that have been used as weapons of war. Alfred Nobel, a Swedish-born chemist, who died in 1896, at one time believed that his invention of explosives could bring wars to an end. But later he found he was wrong.

He was also a linguist, speaking English, Russian, German and French in addition to Swedish. He wrote poetry. He began his venture(事业) with producing liquid nitroglycerin(硝化甘油) for use in mining(采矿) and construction(建筑) He then discovered that liquid nitroglycerin could be dried. He called it dynamite, after the Greek word dynamis, meaning "power". Then he became rich. When he died, his estate (遗产) was worth about $9 million. Nobel never married, and he left most of his estate to what has since become known as the Noble Prizes. The money is invested and the interest given out as annual prizes for person who have made great contributions to mankind in the fields of physics, chemistry, physiology(生理学) or medicine, literature and peace. Prizes were first awarded in 1901. Over the years, the winners included--Albert Einstein in physics, Marie Curie in chemistry, Toni Morrison and William Faulkner in literature, Martin Luther King, Jr., for peace. 51. Alfred Nobel's invention was first used in_________. A. wars B. preventing wars C. mining and construction D. medicine 52. Nobel improved his explosives into the form of________. A. solid B. gas C. liquid D. dynamis 53. From the passage we can guess a "linguist" is a person who_______. A. can speak a foreign language B. knows several foreign languages well C. writes good poetry D. loves language 54. Alfred Nobel believed________. A. his invention could stop wars in the world B. no one could use his invention as weapons C. the Nobel Prizes could be world-famous
D. he could be very rich by his invention 55. All the questions have been answered EXCEPT________. A. When were Nobel Prizes first awarded? B. How did Nobel find dried explosives safer than liquid ones? C. What else was Nobel interested in? D. What languages could Nobel speak?

解析：
一．单项选择 1. C be curious about表示“对……好奇”。 2. A lead to表示“导致”。
3. A 当only用于句首时，句子用倒装语序。
4. A on the other hand表示“另一方面”。
5. B besides是副词，意思是“此外”。
6. B 过去分词短语compared with表示“与……相比较”。
7. C in store for表示“等待”。
8. C avoid后面用动名词作宾语，being done表示被动。
9. A draw attention to表示“唤起某人对某事的注意”。
10. C go against
11. C be made up of
12. D on the way 即将到来
13. C in harmony with
14. B get into a panic
15. B representative
二．完形填空 16. B 我在查字典方面是比较迟钝和缓慢的，所以应该是be slow in sth.其他的选项不是意思不对就是没有这种搭配与结构。 17. C 与前面的半句是并列和承接，可以得知我是在查字典上有障碍，而后发现翻译是十分难的。如果是用make，则最好是making it most difficult表示前面的整个这件事使翻译变成最难的，但是这里的主语应该还是前文中的I。 18. A no trouble表示一点都没有问题。 19. D could表示能够，由于在过去时的整体范围中，所以应该是could do。 20. C as much troubled as中的much表示程度。 21. B 与前半句是结构相似的形式所以用by表示被动的含义，表示我们两个人是同病相怜，都被某一个科目所难住了。 22. D 他告诉我翻译的句子，而我作为交换而帮他写英语作文。 23. A work这里表示进展顺利，一切正常，有效果。 24. B be satisfied with表示对……感到满意。 25. A or so表示大约，大概的意思。大约一周一次。 26. D appear 表示产生或者是出现。 27. A call sb. to do sth.表示叫……去做什么。 28. C 我们通常是说make a point但是很少说make an opinion来表示提出，阐述观点。自然这里也不能选目标。 29. D have sth. in mind表示头脑中所想的是事情。What是引导宾语从句，同时也充当从句的宾语的最准确的词。 30. B in this way表示用这样的方法。 31. A turn ... into表示转变，老师也不愿把本来是表扬的的形式和内容，改成了一个挑错的情况。 32. B 由于前面提到的occasion表示情况是可数名词，所以应该是避免重复，用一个可以替代的形式，即代词one来指示。 33. D 让某人离开，是let sb. do的形式，所以应该是D。 34. B narrow escape是一个固定的用法，相当于九死一生。 35. C 由于前面发生的事，我要努力学拉丁语。
三．阅读理解
A 36 －40 D A C D A
B 41－45 BDDCB
C 46－50 A B C A D
D 51－55 CABAB
本篇讲的是一种人生观和生活观。要珍惜自己的每一天和珍惜自己的快乐。 56. B. 第一段表示我们是在很繁忙的工作，很多自己本可以获得的快乐和乐趣都因为工作的计划而耽误了。 57. C. 根据上下文的含义可知，那个人反常态的拒绝或辞退了原有的在舰队街的令人羡慕的工作，而到了一个小公司去工作。所以应该是give up。A选项要是leave就是正确的，但是它是leave for，所以不能选择。 58. B. 根据文章最后一段我们知道他面临了太大的工作压力，所以找到一个轻松和欣赏每一天快乐的工作。
四. 短文改错 1. decide→decided 2. the前加from 3. hang→hanging 4. that→if/ whether

The world's most famous awards, the Nobel Prizes, are given to those who have made great contributions to human beings. The irony(具有讽刺意味的事情) is that they are named after a 19th century scientist who invented explosives (炸药) that have been used as weapons of war. Alfred Nobel, a Swedish-born chemist, who died in 1896, at one time believed that his invention of explosives could bring wars to an end. But later he found he was wrong. Nobel was born in Sweden in 1833. With only one year of formal schooling, he became a chemist and inventor by age 16. He was also a linguist, speaking English, Russian, German and French in addition to Swedish. He wrote poetry. He began his venture(事业) with producing liquid nitroglycerin(硝化甘油) for use in mining(采矿) and construction(建筑) He then discovered that liquid nitroglycerin could be dried. He called it dynamite, after the Greek word dynamis, meaning "power". Then he became rich. When he died, his estate (遗产) was worth about $9 million. Nobel never married, and he left most of his estate to what has since become known as the Noble Prizes. The money is invested and the interest given out as annual prizes for person who have made great contributions to mankind in the fields of physics, chemistry, physiology(生理学) or medicine, literature and peace. Prizes were first awarded in 1901. Over the years, the winners included--Albert Einstein in physics, Marie Curie in chemistry, Toni Morrison and William Faulkner in literature, Martin Luther King, Jr., for peace. 51.

解析：
一．单项选择 1. C be curious about表示“对……好奇”。 2. A lead to表示“导致”。
3. A 当only用于句首时，句子用倒装语序。
4. A on the other hand表示“另一方面”。
5. B besides是副词，意思是“此外”。
6. B 过去分词短语compared with表示“与……相比较”。
7. C in store for表示“等待”。
8. C avoid后面用动名词作宾语，being done表示被动。
9. A draw attention to表示“唤起某人对某事的注意”。
10. C go against
11. C be made up of
12. D on the way 即将到来
13. C in harmony with
14. B get into a panic
15. B representative
二．完形填空 16. B 我在查字典方面是比较迟钝和缓慢的，所以应该是be slow in sth.其他的选项不是意思不对就是没有这种搭配与结构。 17. C 与前面的半句是并列和承接，可以得知我是在查字典上有障碍，而后发现翻译是十分难的。如果是用make，则最好是making it most difficult表示前面的整个这件事使翻译变成最难的，但是这里的主语应该还是前文中的I。 18. A no trouble表示一点都没有问题。 19. D could表示能够，由于在过去时的整体范围中，所以应该是could do。 20. C as much troubled as中的much表示程度。 21. B 与前半句是结构相似的形式所以用by表示被动的含义，表示我们两个人是同病相怜，都被某一个科目所难住了。 22. D 他告诉我翻译的句子，而我作为交换而帮他写英语作文。 23. A work这里表示进展顺利，一切正常，有效果。 24. B be satisfied with表示对……感到满意。 25. A or so表示大约，大概的意思。大约一周一次。 26. D appear 表示产生或者是出现。 27. A call sb. to do sth.表示叫……去做什么。 28. C 我们通常是说make a point但是很少说make an opinion来表示提出，阐述观点。自然这里也不能选目标。 29. D have sth. in mind表示头脑中所想的是事情。What是引导宾语从句，同时也充当从句的宾语的最准确的词。 30. B in this way表示用这样的方法。 31. A turn ... into表示转变，老师也不愿把本来是表扬的的形式和内容，改成了一个挑错的情况。 32. B 由于前面提到的occasion表示情况是可数名词，所以应该是避免重复，用一个可以替代的形式，即代词one来指示。 33. D 让某人离开，是let sb. do的形式，所以应该是D。 34. B narrow escape是一个固定的用法，相当于九死一生。 35. C 由于前面发生的事，我要努力学拉丁语。
三．阅读理解
A 36 －40 D A C D A
B 41－45 BDDCB
C 46－50 A B C A D
D 51－55 CABAB
本篇讲的是一种人生观和生活观。要珍惜自己的每一天和珍惜自己的快乐。 56. B. 第一段表示我们是在很繁忙的工作，很多自己本可以获得的快乐和乐趣都因为工作的计划而耽误了。 57. C. 根据上下文的含义可知，那个人反常态的拒绝或辞退了原有的在舰队街的令人羡慕的工作，而到了一个小公司去工作。所以应该是give up。A选项要是leave就是正确的，但是它是leave for，所以不能选择。 58. B. 根据文章最后一段我们知道他面临了太大的工作压力，所以找到一个轻松和欣赏每一天快乐的工作。

五．书面表达
TV viewing has become an important part of family life. By watching TV, people can get a lot of knowledge and information. You can also travel around the world, watch films, news reports, sports games and so on without buying tickets. But every coin has tow sides. Many people turn on TV as soon as they arrive home and don’t turn it off until they fall asleep late into the night. Besides, too much fighting and killing has bad effects on children.
