III完形填空(15小题,每题1分,共15分)
Most people believe they don’t have much imagination. They are 36 . Everyone has imagination, but most of us, once we become adults, forget how to 37 it. Creativity isn’t always 38 with great works of art or ideas. People at work and in their free time 39 think of creative ways to solve problems. Maybe you have a goal to achieve, a tricky question to answer or you just want to expand your mind! Here are three techniques to help you.
Making connections. This technique involves taking 40 ideas and trying to find links between them. First, think about the problem you have to solve or the job you need to do. Then find an image, word, idea or object, for example, a candle. Write down all the idea/words 41 with candles: light, fire, matches, wax, night, silence, etc. Think of as many as you can. The next stage is to relate the 42 to the job you have to do. So imagine you want to buy a friend an original 43 ; you could buy him tickets to match or take him out for the night.
NO limits! Imagine that normal limitations don’t 44 . You have as much time/space/money, etc. as you want. Think about your goal and the new 45 .If your goal is to learn to ski, 46 , you can now practise skiing every day of your life(because you have the time and the money). Now 47 this to reality. Maybe you can practise skiing every day in December, or every Monday in January.
Be someone else! Look at the situation from a 48 point of view. Good businessmen use this technique in trade, and so do writers. Fiction writers often imagine they are the 49 in their books. They ask question: What does this character want? Why can’t she get it? What changes must she make to get what she wants? If your goal involves other people, put yourself in their 50 . The best fishermen think like fish!
36. A. wrong B. unbelievable C. reasonable D. realistic
37. A. put up with B. catch up with C. make use of D. keep track of
38. A. equipped B. compared C. covered D. connected
39. A. skillfully B. routinely(惯常地) C. vividly(生动地) D. deeply
40. A. familiar B. unrelated C. creative D. imaginary
41. A. presented B. marked C. lit D. associated
42. A. ideas B. ambitions C. achievement D. technique
43. A. experience B. service C. present D. object
44. A. work B. last C. exist D. change
45. A. possibilities B. limitations C. tendency D. practice
46. A. in fact B. in particular C. as a whole D. for example
47. A. devote B. adapt C. lead D. keep
48. A. private B. global C. different D. practical
49. A. features B. themes C. creatures D. characters
50. A. positions B. dreams C. images D. directions
IV阅读 (共20小题;每小题2分,满分40分)
阅读理解:
A
The relations between man and wife are changing. A majority of working women remain in full charge of their home; they come back at night to the cleaning, washing, and cooking that constitute their second career. But more and more husbands are sharing the burden and willingly taking on chores that their fathers would have rejected as unmanly, and as too mysteriously difficult anyway. In such cases, man and wife become equal partners, both working outside, both pushing the vacuum cleaner, actually, the number of husbands who do help that way is much smaller than the number of those who accept the idea in theory. And when the equal partnership is a fact, it doesn’t always work well. The marriage can be destroyed when the wife is more successful in her profession than her husband in his, particularly when she earns more than he does. Sociologists see in this situation one of the main reasons for the increase in the divorce rate—another reason being the husband’s refusal to help with the housework or the care of the children. A third reason could be the growing awareness of the professional woman that she doesn’t have to remain married if she is too unhappy.
51. What is the housework like in the traditional husbands’ eyes?
A. It’s a mysterious job. B. It’s a little difficult.
C. It’s women’s job. D. It’s only man’s job.
52. The underlined sentence means __________.
A. when man and wife share the housework, man can’t do well
B. when man and wife share the housework, woman can’t do well.
C. when man and wife become equal at home, it doesn’t mean a good marriage
D. when man and wife are equal partners, marriage doesn’t necessarily goes well
53. All of the following statements are true EXCEPT _________.
A. more husbands act in helping housework than those agreeing it without action
B. more and more husbands are helping their wives to do housework
C. most of the working women take charge of their home
D. it is possible for the marriage to fail if women earn more money than husbands
54. What may be the reason for the divorce according to the sociologists?
A. The wife refuses to look after the child.
B. The wife is more successful than her husband.
C. The wife is aware of her unhappiness in marriage.
D. Both A and B.
55. The best title of the passage is most likely to be _______.
A. Equal Partnership Means Nothing in Modern Family
B. The Changing Relations Between Man and Wife
C. Reasons for Increasing Divorce
D. The Relations Between Husband and Wife
B
Tomorrow evening I will be interviewed on stage by a museum official. I will be an interpreter, talking from experience as a disability rights lawyer and activist.
In “special” schools and camps for children with physical and mental disabilities, I grew up knowing we were a category of person that the world did not want. Most of us had a story of some doctor advising our parents to put up away or to let us die. We owed our survival to parents who had irrationally(不理性地) bonded with us. We knew we were lucky and hoped our luck would hold. To increase the chance of surviving, we tended to be charming. We developed thick skins.
By the time I roll onto the stage the next night, I’ve thought a lot about there and here, then and now. When the first question comes, I tell them about my fascination with the wheelchair, and somehow it sounds funny, and laughter fills the room. We talk from the horror of Nazis killing (Nazis once killed the disabled patients as useless) to a funny confession that I, too, tend to stare at disabled people on the street.
What has come over me? In this room, people with disabilities in thrilling variety make me feel at home. Here people, disabled and not, are gathered by choice.
I haven’t forgotten that 2 million people remain in US disability institutions, that some disabled children still cannot attend mainstream schools, that too many of us live in poverty. But I can’t hold onto anger and sorrow for I feel a shared sense of possibility, a drive for a world that will embrace both the fit and the unfit and hold them so dear that the division dies.
56. What’s the author according to the passage?
A. A disabled lawyer. B. A reporter. C. An actor D. An interviewer
57. The underlined phrase “thick skins” in the second paragraph probably means__.
A. with more clothes B. making skin dirty
C. caring nothing of ignorance D. growing more slowly than others
58. The second paragraph is mainly focused on ________.
A. the growth of the disabled people B. the hatred of the disabled people
C. the love of the disabled people D. the appreciation of the disabled people
59. It can be sensed but not clearly stated that the author________.
A. likes to be interviewed in a museum B. can tell funny stories
C. has charming personality D. is humorous and optimistic
60. What’s the author’s attitude towards the future?
A. Desperate B. Hopeful C. Negative D. Objective
C
What do politicians do when they’re not ruling the world?
So when Junichiro Koizumi(小泉纯一郎) became Prime Minister of Japan in 2001, he did something to reassure the Japanese that he was just like everyone else.
He released a CD of his own versions of Elvis Presley songs. “I never get tired of listening to his songs no matter how many times I hear them.” he said, “There is a healing power in Elvis’s music that helps me endure the stress of high office.”
International statesmen know that their day with Junichiro Koizumi may start with important negotiations about trade or defence—but it will always end with Elvis. Singing is also the hobby of former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. He recently released a CD of traditional Italian love songs.
French President Jacques Chirac is a big fan of Japanese culture. He likes nothing better than to end a hard day at work by looking at two fat Japanese men dressed in diapers(尿布) throwing each other a bout.
President Chirac’s other hobby is eating. He starts with a breakfast fit for an army. But by 10:30a.m., he requires a snack of cold meat sandwiches. A four-course lunch follows, then more sandwiches for tea before, finally, a four-course dinner.
The British politicians Denis Healey once said that everyone in politics needed something that made them forget about politics for a while.
Hugo Chavez(the president of Venezuela), originally joined the Venezuelan army because it offered him the chance to play baseball. Now, as president, he can create a Venezuelan all star-team and appoint himself the captain. Saddam Hussein sits in his jail cell in Iraq writing novels. South African Prime Minister Tahbo Mbeki admits to spending most of each night on the Internet. Kim Jong I1 of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea loves old Hollywood movies. King Abdullah II of Jordan parachutes from aero-planes and goes motor racing. Britain’s Tony Blair played guitar in a band at university before entering politics.
61. By saying “He starts with a breakfast fit for an army” in the sixth paragraph, the author means _____.
A. he usually has breakfast with his army men B. he starts his breakfast that is fit for army men
C. he has his breakfast of a large amount D. he has his breakfast made by army men
62. It can be implied that______ according to the passage.
A. every politician is sometimes tired of politics B. Koizumi likes US popular music
C. Koizumi sang his beloved song very night D. politicians hate anything about politics

VIII 写作部分(共20分)
summary(共5分): 仔细阅读下面的文章,用30个词左右概括文章大意。
Some people prefer to spend most of their time alone. Others like to be with friends most of the time. Do you prefer to spend your time alone or with friends?
I prefer to spend most of my time with friends, because friends offer excitement and new ideas, they can comfort me when something bad happens, and spending too much time by myself can be boring.
Friends can offer excitement and fresh ideas to a situation. For example, if I am shopping, a friend makes the experience more fun. We can look at things together, and explore our likes and dislikes.
Friends can also comfort me if something bad happens. If I get bad news, and a friend is around, I do not have to feel bad by myself. A friend will try and cheer me up, and attempt to take my mind off whatever negative things happened. For example, last year I broke my leg and was in a cast all summer. I had friends around me to cheer me up and distract me from the misfortune.
All in all, I think having friends around me is the best way for me to spend my time.
