A
Hoorah! I have escaped the Czech（捷克）Republic! I am now wearing light clothing and sunglasses, although the latter are superfluous today, as it is cool and overcast with cloud and it has rained slightly.
The city of Qatar （卡塔尔） is flat and sandy with few trees — mostly palms. You can see construction everywhere, new streets with hotels and apartment blocks in Venice theme. It’s a mix of super modern and traditional building styles. Everything looks new including the vehicles. There are many huge roundabouts; no traffic rules or at least no one obeys any. The huge 4-storey shopping mall in fantastic style has an ice rink （溜冰场） on the ground floor. Thousands of people walk round the waterfront after dark.
Qataris are very religious and there are calls to prayers regularly. Qatari men are dressed in all sorts of traditional clothing plus western dresses. You can easily find imported labour from South Asian countries, poorly paid and discriminated against. I am told that Qataris don’t hide their racist attitudes. Women are always wonderful sights. Some are in all sorts of black clothing with face uncovered; some totally enveloped; lots wearing western dresses. Best sight so far: a woman in a mall completely wrapped in black including gloves, not even an eye shown — wearing glasses on the outside of her veil （面纱）, using a cell phone while fingering a dress.
I am living with my employers — a New Zealand couple, and another teacher named Wayne, all about my age. We share one apartment. I have a large room with a bathroom attached: it is a little run-down but very comfortable. The only rather annoying thing is that I have to use the laptop on my bed as there is no desk and chair in here. As soon as it is clear that I will be staying I will make a change to all this. I haven’t lived with other people for many years and have been used to living alone so it will be interesting to see how this works.
51．In the author’s eyes, Qatar is a ________.
A．rich western industrialized country
B．backward agricultural country
C．modern society with religious tradition
D．nation closed to the outside world
52．The underlined part in paragraph one can be explained as ________.
A．sunglasses become unnecessary B．light clothing is helpless with cold
C．sunglasses appear fantastic D．it will be a fine day later
53．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author is .
A．pleased with her present living condition
B．missing her days in the Czech Republic
C．not certain how long she will be staying
D．worried about her relation with her boss
54．The best title for this passage is ________.
A．The New Life with My Employers B．General Observation of Qataris
C．My Adventure in the Czech Republic D．My First Impressions of Qatar
B
Eating kangaroos instead of cattle and sheep has been given a scientific stamp of approval by
the government’s top climate change adviser.
The belch（嗳气） of millions of farm animals is a major contributor to Australia’s greenhouse
gas emissions（排放）, notes professor Ross Garnaut in a major report to the government on global warming.
Kangaroos, on the other hand, breathe out little amounts of methane（甲烷） gas.
If farmers were included in a system requiring industry to buy permits for the gas they
produce, the cost of meat would rise and could lead to a change in eating habits, says Garnaut.
“For most of Australia’s human history---around 60,000 years –the kangaroo was the main
source of meat,” he says.
“It could again become important. However, there are some barriers to this change, including livestock and farm management issues, consumer resistance and the gradual nature of change in food tastes.”
Garnaut cites a study looking at the potential for kangaroos to replace sheep and cattle for
meat production in Australia’s rangelands, where kangaroos are already harvested.
The study concludes that by 2020, beef cattle and sheep numbers could be reduced by seven
million and 36 million respectively, allowing for an increase in kangaroo numbers from 34 million now to 240 million by 2020.
This would be more than enough to replace the lost lamb and beef production, and kangaroo
meat would become more profitable than cattle and sheep as the price of emissions permits increased.
Garnaut’s report says livestock, mainly cattle and sheep, are responsible for some 67% of
agricultural greenhouse gas emissions.
Despite being the national animal and appearing on the Australian coat of arms, kangaroos are
slaughtered in the wild each year to control their numbers and much of the meat is used for pet food.
The idea of farming them for human consumption is controversial, but many Australians
already eat kangaroo meat.
55．Which of the following statements is true about kangaroos
A．Kangaroos have appeared on a scientific stamp.
B．Kangaroos breathe out air containing little methane gas.
C．Kangaroos are the main source of meat for Australians.
D．Kangaroos are protected in a way because they are national animals.
56．All the following are factors that prevent kangaroos from being the main source of meat for Australian except ________.
A．Whether the price of the kangaroo meat is acceptable
B．Whether consumers like the new idea.
C．How the farms are run.
D．Whether consumers become used to eating the meat
57．The underlined word “controversial” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.
A．acceptable B．positive C．negative D．arguable
58．What’s the main idea of the passage
A．Kangaroos may replace other animals in Australia in the near future.
B．People aren’t willing to eat kangaroo meat.
C．People are called on to eat kangaroo meat to reduce global warming.
D．Kangaroos pollute the environment less than other animals.

If boy wizard Harry Potter uses his magic to capture the hearts of millions of teenagers, high school students Gabriella and Troy have charmed American boys and girls with their stories of campus life.
They are the leading characters in High School Musical, a series of hugely successful films in the US. The sequel （续集）, High School Musical 3, came out on October 24 and has topped the American box office for two straight weeks.
The show has everything attractive to teenagers—dancing, catchy music, puppy love and good looks. The story starts when high school basketball star Troy and brainy Gabriella —two teenagers who are worlds apart—meet during the winter break. At a karaoke contest they discover their love for singing and an interest in each other. When school starts, Troy finds out that Gabriella is the new girl at his school.
Eager to find the magic they had during karaoke, Troy and Gabriella decide to audition （试镜） for the school’s upcoming musical. This angers the school’s drama queen Sharpay. However, they overcome difficulties and become the leading actors.
But the story doesn't end there. High School Musical 2 follows their adventures over summer vacation when Sharpay tries to break up Troy and Gabriella. In the latest sequel, high school seniors are facing the possibilities of being separated from each other as they go off in different directions when graduating from high school.
Joined by the rest of their friends, Troy and Gabriella stage a musical reflecting （反映） their experiences, hopes and fears about the future.
"The success of the High School Musical films shows Disney's long-term efforts to attract youngsters for whom Mickey Mouse seems too babyish," wrote New York Times reporter Dave Itzkoff. "For the time being, the movie has made fictional high school students as recognizable as that 79-year-old mouse."
59．What is the passage mainly about
A．Boy wizard—Harry potter.

No matter how long your life is, you will, at best, be able to read only a few books of all that
Have been written, and he few you do read should include the best. It is to be expected that the selections will change over time. Yet there is a surprising uniformity（一致）in the lists which represent the best choices of any period.
What are the signs by which we may recognize a great book The four I will mention may not be all there are, but they are the ones I’ve found most useful in explaining my choices over the years.
Great books are probably the most widely read. They are not bet sellers for a year or two. But they are long lasting ones. Gone With the Wind has had relatively few readers compared to the plays of Shakespeare or Don Quixote. It would be reasonable to estimate that Homer Iliad（《伊利亚特》）has been read by at least 25,000,000 people in the last 3000 years.
Great books are popular, not pedantic（书生气的）.They are not written by specialists about specialties for specialists. Whether they are philosophy or science, or history or poetry, they treat of human, not academic problems. They are written for men, not professors. To read a textbook for advanced students, you have to read an elementary textbook first. But the great books can be considered elementary in the sense that they treat the elements of any subject matter. They are not related to one another as a series of textbooks, graded in difficulty or in the technicality of the problems with which they deal.
Great books are always contemporary, the most readable and instructive.
Great books deal with the persistently unsolved problems of human life. There are genuine mysteries in the world that mark the limits of human knowing and thinking. Great minds acknowledge mysteries honestly. Wisdom ins strengthened, not destroyed, by understanding its limitations.
67．Which is NOT the standard in the following when evaluating a great book
A．Although not a best seller, it must be the most widely read.
B．It can be read without much relevant knowledge.
C．Great books are never out of date.
D．Great books will not disappoint you.
68．According to the author, Gone With the Wind is .
A．sure to enjoy a large number of readers in the long run
B．disliked by readers who like Shakespeare
C．not a great book because of the few readers
D．read more often than Don Quixote
69．After reading the passage, we can infer that .
A．different periods have different lists of great books because there are many books for people to choose from
B．if you don’t read an elementary textbook, you may have difficulty in understanding in understanding an advanced one
C．Homer Iliad must be a best seller when it came out
D．great books often deal with unsolved problems of human life for the writers have confidence in settling them
70．The best title for this passage is .
A．Great Books in Your Life B．Great Books in Your Specialty
C．How to Find a Great Book D．What Is a Great Book

第二节：短文写作
Nowadays , it is a common phenomenon that more and more high school students open their own blogs on the Internet. For one thing, it can provide a colorful platform to showcase their talent, and it is a way to release their pressure, and all this makes it more and more popular with high school students. But many parents and teachers hold the different view, they think that managing one’s blog will take a lot of time and energy, while this should be used to study which is their main responsibility.
In my opinion, I do approve of this activity. Nowadays the Internet is playing an important and essential role in our life that we can’t ignore its influence. Therefore as high school students of the so-called information age, we need to learn and make the most of this useful tool to communicate and display ourselves. More importantly, opening and organizing an eye catching blog needs various abilities such as writing ,designing, being skillful at computer and so on. Only if we master those abilities can we make a successful blog. As a consequence, we improve ourselves during the procedures of organizing our blogs.
Blog itself is of little harm. It is your attitude towards it that matters. We should take the advantages and avoid some bad effects

W: Robert, you play the guitar, don't you
M: I used to. But I haven't played it for quite some time. I don't really have time these days with all my studies. Why do you ask
W: I'm trying to organize a group to play at some parties on weekends. We still need a guitar player.
M: Well, I don't know. But your idea sounds fun to me.
W: Oh, it will be. I'm more or less in charge of things, so if you want to give it a try, you're in. It's as easy as that. Besides, it's a great chance to get out to meet people.
M: But I told you I haven't practiced for a long time. I don't know if I remember any songs I used to play.
W: Don't worry about it. I just thought I'd ask you to try and join us sometime when we were practicing. We'll be practicing for a few months before we give performances.
M: OK, I'll have a try.
W: I'm sure you can do it. And it will be fun, too.

Well, a mixed picture over the next few days. Today in Britain, very wet and windy. You can see from the satellite picture that the highest temperatures, as they so often are, are in the southern parts of Europe, where it's also quite dry. It's going to be quite cold over northwestern parts of Europe it will be rainy but in the south there will be the best of the sunshine. And pretty good but cool in the eastern parts of Europe, too.
Now let's look at tomorrow's weather. It will be very much the same in the south except that the rain is starting to push up into the northern parts. It will stay fine in eastern Europe. But still.w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m

A
Hoorah! I have escaped the Czech（捷克）Republic! I am now wearing light clothing and sunglasses, although the latter are superfluous today, as it is cool and overcast with cloud and it has rained slightly.
The city of Qatar （卡塔尔） is flat and sandy with few trees — mostly palms. You can see construction everywhere, new streets with hotels and apartment blocks in Venice theme. It’s a mix of super modern and traditional building styles. Everything looks new including the vehicles. There are many huge roundabouts; no traffic rules or at least no one obeys any. The huge 4-storey shopping mall in fantastic style has an ice rink （溜冰场） on the ground floor. Thousands of people walk round the waterfront after dark.
Qataris are very religious and there are calls to prayers regularly. Qatari men are dressed in all sorts of traditional clothing plus western dresses. You can easily find imported labour from South Asian countries, poorly paid and discriminated against. I am told that Qataris don’t hide their racist attitudes. Women are always wonderful sights. Some are in all sorts of black clothing with face uncovered; some totally enveloped; lots wearing western dresses. Best sight so far: a woman in a mall completely wrapped in black including gloves, not even an eye shown — wearing glasses on the outside of her veil （面纱）, using a cell phone while fingering a dress.
I am living with my employers — a New Zealand couple, and another teacher named Wayne, all about my age. We share one apartment. I have a large room with a bathroom attached: it is a little run-down but very comfortable. The only rather annoying thing is that I have to use the laptop on my bed as there is no desk and chair in here. As soon as it is clear that I will be staying I will make a change to all this. I haven’t lived with other people for many years and have been used to living alone so it will be interesting to see how this works.
51．In the author’s eyes, Qatar is a ________.
A．rich western industrialized country
B．backward agricultural country
C．modern society with religious tradition
D．nation closed to the outside world
52．The underlined part in paragraph one can be explained as ________.
A．sunglasses become unnecessary B．light clothing is helpless with cold
C．sunglasses appear fantastic D．it will be a fine day later
53．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author is .
A．pleased with her present living condition
B．missing her days in the Czech Republic
C．not certain how long she will be staying
D．worried about her relation with her boss
54．The best title for this passage is ________.
A．The New Life with My Employers B．General Observation of Qataris
C．My Adventure in the Czech Republic D．My First Impressions of Qatar
B
Eating kangaroos instead of cattle and sheep has been given a scientific stamp of approval by
the government’s top climate change adviser.
The belch（嗳气） of millions of farm animals is a major contributor to Australia’s greenhouse
gas emissions（排放）, notes professor Ross Garnaut in a major report to the government on global warming.
Kangaroos, on the other hand, breathe out little amounts of methane（甲烷） gas.
If farmers were included in a system requiring industry to buy permits for the gas they
produce, the cost of meat would rise and could lead to a change in eating habits, says Garnaut.
“For most of Australia’s human history---around 60,000 years –the kangaroo was the main
source of meat,” he says.
“It could again become important. However, there are some barriers to this change, including livestock and farm management issues, consumer resistance and the gradual nature of change in food tastes.”
Garnaut cites a study looking at the potential for kangaroos to replace sheep and cattle for
meat production in Australia’s rangelands, where kangaroos are already harvested.
The study concludes that by 2020, beef cattle and sheep numbers could be reduced by seven
million and 36 million respectively, allowing for an increase in kangaroo numbers from 34 million now to 240 million by 2020.
This would be more than enough to replace the lost lamb and beef production, and kangaroo
meat would become more profitable than cattle and sheep as the price of emissions permits increased.
Garnaut’s report says livestock, mainly cattle and sheep, are responsible for some 67% of
agricultural greenhouse gas emissions.
Despite being the national animal and appearing on the Australian coat of arms, kangaroos are
slaughtered in the wild each year to control their numbers and much of the meat is used for pet food.
The idea of farming them for human consumption is controversial, but many Australians
already eat kangaroo meat.
55．Which of the following statements is true about kangaroos
A．Kangaroos have appeared on a scientific stamp.
B．Kangaroos breathe out air containing little methane gas.
C．Kangaroos are the main source of meat for Australians.
D．Kangaroos are protected in a way because they are national animals.
56．All the following are factors that prevent kangaroos from being the main source of meat for Australian except ________.
A．Whether the price of the kangaroo meat is acceptable
B．Whether consumers like the new idea.
C．How the farms are run.
D．Whether consumers become used to eating the meat
57．The underlined word “controversial” in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ______.
A．acceptable B．positive C．negative D．arguable
58．What’s the main idea of the passage
A．Kangaroos may replace other animals in Australia in the near future.
B．People aren’t willing to eat kangaroo meat.
C．People are called on to eat kangaroo meat to reduce global warming.
D．Kangaroos pollute the environment less than other animals.

If boy wizard Harry Potter uses his magic to capture the hearts of millions of teenagers, high school students Gabriella and Troy have charmed American boys and girls with their stories of campus life.
They are the leading characters in High School Musical, a series of hugely successful films in the US. The sequel （续集）, High School Musical 3, came out on October 24 and has topped the American box office for two straight weeks.
The show has everything attractive to teenagers—dancing, catchy music, puppy love and good looks. The story starts when high school basketball star Troy and brainy Gabriella —two teenagers who are worlds apart—meet during the winter break. At a karaoke contest they discover their love for singing and an interest in each other. When school starts, Troy finds out that Gabriella is the new girl at his school.
Eager to find the magic they had during karaoke, Troy and Gabriella decide to audition （试镜） for the school’s upcoming musical. This angers the school’s drama queen Sharpay. However, they overcome difficulties and become the leading actors.
But the story doesn't end there. High School Musical 2 follows their adventures over summer vacation when Sharpay tries to break up Troy and Gabriella. In the latest sequel, high school seniors are facing the possibilities of being separated from each other as they go off in different directions when graduating from high school.
Joined by the rest of their friends, Troy and Gabriella stage a musical reflecting （反映） their experiences, hopes and fears about the future.
"The success of the High School Musical films shows Disney's long-term efforts to attract youngsters for whom Mickey Mouse seems too babyish," wrote New York Times reporter Dave Itzkoff. "For the time being, the movie has made fictional high school students as recognizable as that 79-year-old mouse."
59．What is the passage mainly about
A．Boy wizard—Harry potter.
B．High school students Gabriella and Troy.
C．A successful show—High school Musical.

B．Troy and Gabriella meet at a karaoke contest.
C．Troy and Gabriella graduate from high school.
D．Sharpay tries to end the relationship of Troy and Gabriella.

No matter how long your life is, you will, at best, be able to read only a few books of all that
Have been written, and he few you do read should include the best. It is to be expected that the selections will change over time. Yet there is a surprising uniformity（一致）in the lists which represent the best choices of any period.
What are the signs by which we may recognize a great book The four I will mention may not be all there are, but they are the ones I’ve found most useful in explaining my choices over the years.
Great books are probably the most widely read. They are not bet sellers for a year or two. But they are long lasting ones. Gone With the Wind has had relatively few readers compared to the plays of Shakespeare or Don Quixote. It would be reasonable to estimate that Homer Iliad（《伊利亚特》）has been read by at least 25,000,000 people in the last 3000 years.
Great books are popular, not pedantic（书生气的）.They are not written by specialists about specialties for specialists. Whether they are philosophy or science, or history or poetry, they treat of human, not academic problems. They are written for men, not professors. To read a textbook for advanced students, you have to read an elementary textbook first. But the great books can be considered elementary in the sense that they treat the elements of any subject matter. They are not related to one another as a series of textbooks, graded in difficulty or in the technicality of the problems with which they deal.
Great books are always contemporary, the most readable and instructive.
Great books deal with the persistently unsolved problems of human life. There are genuine mysteries in the world that mark the limits of human knowing and thinking. Great minds acknowledge mysteries honestly. Wisdom ins strengthened, not destroyed, by understanding its limitations.
67．Which is NOT the standard in the following when evaluating a great book
A．Although not a best seller, it must be the most widely read.
B．It can be read without much relevant knowledge.
C．Great books are never out of date.
D．Great books will not disappoint you.
68．According to the author, Gone With the Wind is .
A．sure to enjoy a large number of readers in the long run
B．disliked by readers who like Shakespeare
C．not a great book because of the few readers
D．read more often than Don Quixote
69．After reading the passage, we can infer that .
A．different periods have different lists of great books because there are many books for people to choose from
B．if you don’t read an elementary textbook, you may have difficulty in understanding in understanding an advanced one
C．Homer Iliad must be a best seller when it came out
D．great books often deal with unsolved problems of human life for the writers have confidence in settling them
70．The best title for this passage is .
A．Great Books in Your Life B．Great Books in Your Specialty
C．How to Find a Great Book D．What Is a Great Book

第二节：短文写作
Nowadays , it is a common phenomenon that more and more high school students open their own blogs on the Internet. For one thing, it can provide a colorful platform to showcase their talent, and it is a way to release their pressure, and all this makes it more and more popular with high school students. But many parents and teachers hold the different view, they think that managing one’s blog will take a lot of time and energy, while this should be used to study which is their main responsibility.
In my opinion, I do approve of this activity. Nowadays the Internet is playing an important and essential role in our life that we can’t ignore its influence. Therefore as high school students of the so-called information age, we need to learn and make the most of this useful tool to communicate and display ourselves. More importantly, opening and organizing an eye catching blog needs various abilities such as writing ,designing, being skillful at computer and so on. Only if we master those abilities can we make a successful blog. As a consequence, we improve ourselves during the procedures of organizing our blogs.
Blog itself is of little harm. It is your attitude towards it that matters. We should take the advantages and avoid some bad effects

W: Stan, do you have a minute
M: Oh, hi, Cathy. Sure. What's up
W: Well, I've been meaning to talk to you about the situation in the office.
M: I'm not in there very often. It's so noisy that I can't work.
W: That's exactly what I'm getting at. We're supposed to be able to do our preparation in that office, but have you noticed Jack constantly has students coming in and get help with his course.
M: We can't really ask him to stop having students come in for help, can we
W: No, of course not. But I'm not able to do my work and neither are you. I imagine it's the same for the others in the office.
M: Hmm, could we ask for a kind of meeting room When we have to talk to students, we could go to the meeting room.
W: Good idea.

W: Are you busy tomorrow night I'm going over to the Workers Club for volleyball if you'd like to come along.
M: Isn't that far away
W: Not really. If you take the No. 3 bus, you can get there in ten mi nutes. And if volleyball doesn't interest you, they've got a huge indoor swimming pool, a weight room, and indoor tracks. It's a great place to meet people.
M: Now that you mentioned it, it would be nice to get away from the computer center for a change, and I really should get some more exercise. Working up a sweat in a ball game or the weight room would be nice. I've got so fat.
W: Look at me —You're not the only one. In high school I had a lot more time to do sports activities. Now what little spare time you have must be used in doing exercise. At least the club is open until 12 pm.
M: I guess it's worth a visit. Did you say you're going tomorrow night
W: Yeah.
M: OK, I'll come, too. How about meeting me in front of the cinema at eight, and we'll catch the bus there.
W: Sure, see you then.

M: Hi, Jeanie. Why have you come to school an hour early
W: I wanted to get a front row seat and review one more time before the test. Why are you here so early, Jack
M: I get out of my car here this time every day. You seem to be nervous about your lessons. Have you finished your review
W: I've only been studying night and day for the last week. If I don't get an A in this class, I won't get the support of my country.
M: This class is really just a review for me. I've been learning it for two years.
W: That's lucky for you.
M: Jeanie, can you guess what the test will be like Will it be difficult
W: I hope not. But I'm still worried about it.
M: Well, cheer up. Hope for good luck.
W: Thanks for wishing me luck.

W: Robert, you play the guitar, don't you
M: I used to. But I haven't played it for quite some time. I don't really have time these days with all my studies. Why do you ask
W: I'm trying to organize a group to play at some parties on weekends. We still need a guitar player.
M: Well, I don't know. But your idea sounds fun to me.
W: Oh, it will be. I'm more or less in charge of things, so if you want to give it a try, you're in. It's as easy as that. Besides, it's a great chance to get out to meet people.
M: But I told you I haven't practiced for a long time. I don't know if I remember any songs I used to play.
W: Don't worry about it. I just thought I'd ask you to try and join us sometime when we were practicing. We'll be practicing for a few months before we give performances.
M: OK, I'll have a try.
W: I'm sure you can do it. And it will be fun, too.

Well, a mixed picture over the next few days. Today in Britain, very wet and windy. You can see from the satellite picture that the highest temperatures, as they so often are, are in the southern parts of Europe, where it's also quite dry. It's going to be quite cold over northwestern parts of Europe it will be rainy but in the south there will be the best of the sunshine. And pretty good but cool in the eastern parts of Europe, too.
Now let's look at tomorrow's weather. It will be very much the same in the south except that the rain is starting to push up into the northern parts. It will stay fine in eastern Europe. But still.w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m
