III. 阅读理解 （ 共20 小题；每小题 2分，满分40分）
A
To listen to the two professors, Smith the zoologist and Jones the philosopher, you would never guess they were friends. They argued everything. Smith was a scientist, who believed in “fact”, while Jones was a thinker, who believed in “ideas”.
One day, two scientists found themselves at Coney Island, Professor Smith had a young niece, who, for her birthday, had begged her uncle to take her there. Smith asked his friend Jones to come along. That is how the three of them came to a notice about a remarkable dog.
“Let’s go inside, uncle. Peter!”
What they saw did amaze them. The dog danced on its hind legs, keeping time to the music. When asked to add two and three, it barked five times. When the man played a tune on the piano, the dog sang in time to the music. It could even talk after a fashion（模仿）.When asked how many states there were in the Union, it made a noise which sounded extremely like fifty.
The old scientist was amazed by the dog’s performance, so after an hour of bargaining, the dog was his.
“It is for me, uncle?”
“Not exactly, my dear.” Professor Smith answered, “I need it for an important scientific experiment.”
“Come on, Smith.” And the philosopher, “You always say ‘seeing is believing’. The dog is genius. What more do you need to know?”
Professor Smith said, “We may be close to the greatest scientific discovery of all the time. If I can find out why this animal is so intelligent….”
A few day later, Jones visited his friends.
“You what?” he cried, unbelieving.
“I did what any scientist would do.” said Smith,” “I put the dog to sleep and cut out its brain to find out what was special about it.”
“And?” Jones asked.
“Do you know, I couldn’t find anything which would explain its extraordinary abilities.” Professor Smith replied.
At that moment, the professor’s niece came into the room.
“Can I play with my doggie, uncle? Please! He’s so clever.”
Neither science nor philosophy had an answer for the little girl.
56. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The clever dog was sure to be saved by the two scientists.
B. Professor Smith insisted on seeing the remarkable dog.
C. Professor Smith was disappointed at the result.
D. When asked the number of states in the U.S. , the dog barked fifty times.
57. What struck the scientist most in the dog’s performance?
A. The dog’s great intelligence. B. The dog’s dancing to the music.
C. The dog’s understanding of its master. D. The dog’s ability to talk after a fashion.
58. Who do you think would feel most pitiful at the end of the story?
A. Smith. B. Jones. C. The dog’s owner. D. The little girl.
59. The underlined sentence “You what?” probably means ________.
A. What are you doing? B. What’s the matter with you?
C. What do you want me to do? D. What does your niece think of the dog?
60. What happened to the clever dog?
A. It was killed by the professor. B. It was protected by the little girl.
C. It managed to escape from being killed. D. It helped the professor do his experiment.
B
It is only during the last few years that man has generally realized that in the world of nature a balance exists between all forms of life. No living thing can exist by itself. It is part of a system in which all forms of life are joined together. If we change one part of the nature order, this will almost certainly bring about changes in some other part.
The cutting of forests reduced the supply of oxygen. The killing of weeds and insects by chemicals led to the wide-spread poisoning of animals and birds. The throwing of waste products into the ocean hurt life in the sea, while waste gases changed the chemical balance of the atmosphere and shut out some of the sun’s necessary life-giving rays.
And so we could go on adding more examples until in despair we might feel like giving up the struggle to control these harmful human activities. Man is very clever at changing the world around him to satisfy his immediate needs, but he is not so clever at looking far ahead, or at thinking about what the future results of his action might be. Man may well destroy himself because of his silly action.
61. The first paragraph tells us that _____.
A. everything in nature can’t exist without the help of man
B. no living thing can live naturally
C. all living things in nature depend on each other
D. man has known the importance of the balance of nature for a long time
62. In the second paragraph the examples given are used to prove that _____.
A. it is only during the last few years that man has generally known the balance of nature
B. there are some living things which can exist by themselves without change
C. all forms of life belong to a system in which all the parts can be changed for one another
D. we can change one form of life without destroying the balance of nature
63. The last paragraph suggests that in order to get his immediate benefits_____.
A. man often fails to think about their future results of his action
B. man is always too eager in planning for distant future
C. man often feels that he will have to give up in despair
D. man is always anxious to control his activities within limits
64. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. The cutting down woods does little harm to human beings.
B. Man has to pay much more attention to the future results of his present action.
C. Oxygen comes from forests.
D. The passage tells us to try our best to get as much as possible immediately.
65. Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?
A. The Secret of Nature B. The Balance of Nature
C. The Order of Nature D. The Changes of Nature
C
Preserving Nature for Future
Demands for stronger protection for wildlife in Britain sometimes hide the fact that similar needs are felt in the rest of Europe．Studies by the Council of Europe，of which 21 countries are members，have shown that 45 per cent of reptile(爬行动物)species and 24 per cent of butterflies are in danger of dying out．
European concern for wildlife was outlined by Dr．Peter Baum—an expert in the environment and natural resources division of the council—when he spoke at a conference arranged by the administrators of a British national park．The park is one of the few areas in Europe to hold the council’s diploma for nature reserves of me highest quality, and Dr．Baum had come to present it to the park once again．He was afraid that public opinion was turning against national parks，and that those set up in the 1960s and 1970s could not be set up today．But Dr．Baum clearly remained a strong supporter of the view that natural environments needed to be allowed to survive in peace in their own right． ??? “No area could be expected to survive both as a true nature reserve and as a tourist attraction。”he went on．The short-sighted view that reserves had to serve immediate human demands for outdoor recreation(户外娱乐)should be replaced by full acceptance of their importance as places to preserve nature for the future． ??? “We forget that they are the guarantee of life systems，on which any town or city finally depends.” Dr．Baum went on．“We could manage without most industrial products，but we could not manage without nature．However, our natural environment areas，which are the original parts of our countryside，have become just islands in a spoiled and highly polluted 1andmass．”
66. Recent studies by the Council of Europe have indicated that ? A? wildlife needs more protection only in Britain． ? B? all species of wildlife in Europe are in danger of dying out． ? C? there are fewer species of reptiles and butterflies in Europe than elsewhere ? D? many species of reptiles and butterflies in Europe need protecting．
67. Who was Dr Baum that made a speech in British national park? ? A? He was a British scientist． ? B? He was an expert in the environment and natural resources division of the council． ? C? He was a manager of the national park． ? D? He was a volunteer devoting all his life in wildlife protection

Ⅰ. 下面是一篇杂志文章，请将标有A-F的段落插入文章中标号61-65的合适位置，使这篇文章意义完整，结构连贯；其中有一个段落是多余的。将答题纸标号为61-65中的相应字母涂黑。
A great many articles and books discussing environmental and resource problems begin with proposition that there is an environmental and resource crisis. If this means that he situation of humanity is worse now than in the past, then the idea of a crisis—and all that follows from it—is dead wrong. In almost every respect important to humanity, the trends have been improving, not deteriorating.
Our world now supports 5.6 billion people. In the nineteenth century, the earth could sustain only 1 billion. And 10,000 years ago, only 1 million people could keep themselves alive. People are now living more healthily than ever before.
One would expect lovers of humanity—people who hate war and worry about famine in Africa—to jump with joy at this extraordinary triumph of the human mind and human organization over the raw forces of nature. 1._______
It is amazing but true that a resource shortage resulting from population or income growth usually leaves us better off than if the shortage had never arisen. 2._______
The prices of food, metals, and other raw materials have been declining by every measure since the beginning of the nineteenth century, and as far back as we know；that is, raw materials have been getting less scarce throughout history, defying the common sense notion that if one begins with an inventory of a resource and uses some up, there will be less left. This is despite, and indirectly because of, increasing population. 3.________
Also, we do not say that a better future happens automatically or without effort. 4.____
We are confident that the nature of the physical world permits continued improvement in humankind’s economic lot in the long run, indefinitely. Of course, there always newly arising local problems, shortages, and pollution, resulting from climate or in creased population and income and new technologies. Sometimes temporary large-scale problems arise. 5 _____. That is the great lesson to be learned from human history.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A. If firewood had not become scarce in seventeenth-century England, coal would not have been developed. If coal and whale oil shortages hadn’t loomed, oil wells would not have been dug.
B. But the world’s physical conditions and the resilience (power of recovering quickly) of a well-functioning economic and social system enable us to overcome such problems, and the solutions usually leave us better off than if the problem had never arisen.
C. The recent extraordinary decrease in the death rate—to my mind, the greatest miracle in history—accounts for the bumper crop of humanity. In the last 200 years, life expectancy in the advanced countries jumped from the mid-30’s to 70’s.
D. Instead, they lament (feel sorrow) that there are so many human beings, and wring their hands (indicate despair) about the problems that more people inevitably bring, and resources will be further diminished.
E. It will happen because men and women—sometimes as individuals, sometimes as enterprises working for profit, sometimes as voluntary nonprofit groups, and sometimes as governmental agencies—will address problems with muscle and mind, and will probably overcome, as has been usual through history.
F. Statistic studies show that population growth doesn’t lead to slower economic growth, though this defies common sense. Nor is high population density a drag on economic development.
G. We don’t say that all is well everywhere, and we don’t predict that all will be rosy in the future. Children are hungry and sick；people live out lives of physical of intellectual poverty and lack of opportunity；war or some other pollution may do us in.
Ⅱ.阅读表达（共5小题，每小题3分，满分15分）
With only about 1, 000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone the animal and save the endangered species. That’s similar to what Texas A＆M University researchers have been undertaking for the past five years in a project called “Noah’s Ark”.
Noah’s Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos(胚胎), semen and DNA of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen(氮). If certain species should become extinct, Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A＆M’S College of Veterinary Medicine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future.
It is estimated that as many as 2, 000 species of mammals, birds and reptiles will become extinct in over 100 years because they could not adapt to a changing environment.
The panda, native only to China, is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years.
Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to implant the embryo into a host animal.
The entire procedure could take from three to five years to complete.
“The nuclear transfer(核子移植) of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available(capable of being used) panda eggs could be a major problem,” Kraemer believes. “They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy(having a baby). It takes a long time and it’s difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort,” adds Kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the Project at Texas A＆M, the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog.
“They are trying to do something that’s never been done, and __________ our work in Noah’s Ark. We’re both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly appreciate their effort and there’s a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. It’s a research that is very much needed.”
1.What is the best title of the passage? (Please answer within 10 words)
__________________________________________________________________
2. According to Professor Kraemer, the major problem in cloning pandas would be the lack of _______.

答案与简析
听力答案
1—5：CABAB 6—10：BAABC 11—15：ABCBA 16—20：CAABA
单选答案
21．C 根据Nor at all可以看出“我一点也不介意”，所以我很乐意；A不符合英语习惯；B与not at all矛盾；D应改为I’d like to。
22．B???状语从句so和such都可与that连用来引导结果状语从句，so一般修饰形容词，such一般修饰名词和名词短语；so… that结构表示结果时，可将so和它所修饰的形容词提前，但句子要倒装。本题易误选A。
23．B。本题考查词组draw one’s attention, 所以答案选
24．B 分析句子结构得知，此处缺谓语，故排除C和D；result in“导致”，相当于lead to；result from“因….”，根据句意，应选result in。
25．A wander“徘徊，来回”；hunt for“寻找，搜索”。句意为“大学毕业后，为了找到合适的工作，他去了一个又一个城市。”
26．A 此处是独立结构作状语。Take…into consideration“把…..考虑在内”；apply“申请（工资，职务等）”。句意为“考虑到各方面的因素，她决定在这个公司申请一个新的工作。”
27．D contain表示“包含某种成分和部分”；include表示“其中包括某一部分”。句意为“绿色蔬菜含有营养物质，包括维生素A和C。”
28．D。???before常可用于将来时态，表示“才；就”：until和before都可以表示主句的情景发生在从句的情景之前，此时它们主要有两个区别：①带有until从句的肯定句主句中的谓语动词必须是持续性的，而带有before从句的主句中的谓语动词，则不必是持续性的；②until引出的分句内容是真实的，而before引出的分句的内容可能是真实的，也可以是非真实的。分析句子意思，根据连词意义及上下文逻辑，正确理解连词的区别。
29．A
30．A as a result表示“结果是”；after all表示“毕竟”；anyway表示“无论如何, 总之”；otherwise表示“否则；要不然”。
31．B suggest (to sb) that-clause表示 (向某人)建议时,后边的从句用虚拟语气,即(should)+动词原型。
32．B protect sb from (doing) sth 表示保护某人免受……的伤害。
33．C。get used to 和be used to后面都接名词、代词或动名词，而used to后跟动词原形，所以答案为C。
34．A 本句意思是他深思熟虑之后决定申请新的职位，所以按句意选A。
35．C。too…to…相当于so…that的否定句。

野生动植物是生态系统的重要组成部分。它不仅对人类的生存和发展起着重要作用，同时也造就了多姿多彩的大自然，大大丰富了人类的文化生活，维护着自然界的生态平衡。但是由于自然环境的变迁和人类活动的影响，特别是近些年来人类对野生动植物的过度开发利用，造成了野生动植物资源的急剧减少。为了我们人类自身的生存，我们赶快行动起来，保护濒危野生动植物。
36. C be superior to“胜过, 比...好”；different与from连用；same前须加the。

A篇答案：56—60：CADBA
56. C 判断正误题。由文中“…I couldn’t find anything which would explain its extraordinary abilities.”得出答案。
57. A 概括题。小狗非凡的智力引起了这位科学家的注意。
58. D 推测题。小姑娘非常喜欢这只小狗，得知小狗被杀后肯定非常痛心。
59. B 判断理解题。“You what”可译为“你怎么啦？”，教授肯定心情沮丧，脸色难看。由下文he cried, unbelieving推出。
60. A 概括题。教授因做实验，需要把小狗杀死。
B篇答案：61—65：CCABB
61. C 主旨大意题。根据第一段No living thing can exist by itself.可以看出自然界的所有生物都得相互依靠。
62.C 推理判断题。本段举的例子都是一些具体的人类活动对大自然环境的影响，所以C说明所有的生物都生存于同一个系统内，既有联系又有影响。
63. A 推理判断题。we might feel like giving up the struggle to control these harmful human activities.人们不能考虑到自己的行为的后果，最终难于解决所造成的问题。
64. B 判断正误题。“Oxygen comes from forests.”不完全正确，因为氧气不全是树木产生的，还有其他植物，所以C不正确。其他都有明显错误。
65. B 主旨大意题。文章第一句就指明了“人们对‘平衡’问题意识到的很晚，下面都是列举如何破坏平衡的。
C篇答案：66—70：DBCAC
66．D? 第一段的第二个句子是这么说的：有21个国家组成的欧洲委员会的研究表明，45％的爬行动物和24％的蝴蝶濒临灭绝。由此可见，D是正确的答案。

68．C 根据第三段首句可知选C；根据第一段可排除A；根据第二段首句可排除B；D项未提及。
69．A? 该题问的是：下面四个陈述句中哪一个可以从最后一段中推出?有两句话特别明显：我们没有大部分的工业产品还是可以生存的，? 但是如果没有自然我们则不可能生存。然而，原来属于我们农村一部分的自然环境区域已经缩小成受到破坏的、高度污染的地块中的孤岛。不难看出，工业的发展是以牺牲农村为代价的。
70．C? 该题问的是：第二段最后一个句子蕴涵了什么?这个句子是这么说的：然而，Baum博士旗帜鲜明地继续支持这样的观点：自然环境本身就需要不受侵扰地生存下来。不难看出：C是该句所蕴涵的。
D篇答案：71—75：ABDAC
71．A 推理判断题。从这三个职位的要求看，都提到了需要英语口语和书面语学的很好，其中两个提到要求是广州市民，没有说要求是计算机专业的毕业生，第一、三则提到求职者要愿意出差，因此A是这三则工作的共同点。
72．B 推理判断题。从本文的相关内容看，说对合格人员有竞争工资，有红包，有个人的发展机会等，开头提到其历史悠久，提到提供的三个岗位，但没有提到提供住宿，从文章中要求是广州市民判断，这里是不提供住宿的。
73．D 判断推理题。本文最后部分说求职者应该提出自己的预期薪水，从第一节的叙述看，其提供的产品和服务跨度大，三个职位的要求中都提到需要有工作经验，但没有说一旦录用后马上到德国汉堡的公司总部接受培训。
74．A 猜测词义题。语境说的是对求职者的要求，要在“相关的”行业有过工作经历。
75．C 细节理解题。从文章最后一句可以排除A和B(Telephone inquiry or personal visit will not be received.)；D项文中未涉及。
第二卷答案

82. so改为because。(前后因果关系)
83. 对。
84. not改为no或在其后加any。（no=not any）
85. them改为it。(food为不可数名词，所以要用it)
II.书面表达
Recently we have had a heated discussion on whether people should keep pets at home in cities.
Some students think it’s a good idea to keep pets because many old people who live alone at home can get some comfort from pets. Besides, getting along well with animals will make our life interesting. On the contrary, the other students are against the idea. In their opinions, if too many people keep pets at home, it is bad for the environment. What is worse, pets may make too much
noise and even attack people.
I like animals, so I don’t think it’s bad to keep pets at home. But we must take some measures to prevent them from polluting our environment.
备选题
I. 匹配题答案：
1.D．（文章引言段的第一句表明了此文讨论的是environmental and resource crisis， 其末句则体现了作者的观点：人类生活的各主要方面一直趋向改善，而非变坏。第三段接着说，我们本可预期人们会如此triumph（胜利，只上段所说：“世界人口增多，但生活却更好”而言），而jump with joy。此处用的是虚拟，表明事实并非如此。
2.A．此段第一句是一概括性论断，其后应有事实例证予以早晨。
3.G．根据下段Also, we do not say可以看出。（文章段落常用连接方式，即：上一段的末句引导下一段的首句。）
4.E．此空前一句中“happens”，E项中有“will happen”与之呼应。
5.B．文章结论段，再现或深化文章的主题思想。B项的“But”使此段自然地转回主题。

I’m sure that any of you who have been in our college for a long time may have already heard about this course. As you may know, almost half of the students in my class failed the exam last term. Maybe you will feel afraid. Let me explain how that came about. This class is a composition class. In composition there are certain rules that must be followed. It is unfortunate that these days many students feel these rules are not necessary. And any paper that can not be finished on time will not be accepted. I also ask you to do some reading on which I will test. The class meets on Tuesday and Thursday. Your final grade is based on the total scores of the four tests and six compositions. Any time you have a problem, please come to me in my office from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on the same days as class. My office is on the fourth floor. For Thursday you will write a composition about the story on Page 74 of the textbook. If there aren’t questions, that will be all for today. See you Thursday.

III. 阅读理解 （ 共20 小题；每小题 2分，满分40分）
A
To listen to the two professors, Smith the zoologist and Jones the philosopher, you would never guess they were friends. They argued everything. Smith was a scientist, who believed in “fact”, while Jones was a thinker, who believed in “ideas”.
One day, two scientists found themselves at Coney Island, Professor Smith had a young niece, who, for her birthday, had begged her uncle to take her there. Smith asked his friend Jones to come along. That is how the three of them came to a notice about a remarkable dog.
“Let’s go inside, uncle. Peter!”
What they saw did amaze them. The dog danced on its hind legs, keeping time to the music. When asked to add two and three, it barked five times. When the man played a tune on the piano, the dog sang in time to the music. It could even talk after a fashion（模仿）.When asked how many states there were in the Union, it made a noise which sounded extremely like fifty.
The old scientist was amazed by the dog’s performance, so after an hour of bargaining, the dog was his.
“It is for me, uncle?”
“Not exactly, my dear.” Professor Smith answered, “I need it for an important scientific experiment.”
“Come on, Smith.” And the philosopher, “You always say ‘seeing is believing’. The dog is genius. What more do you need to know?”
Professor Smith said, “We may be close to the greatest scientific discovery of all the time. If I can find out why this animal is so intelligent….”
A few day later, Jones visited his friends.
“You what?” he cried, unbelieving.
“I did what any scientist would do.” said Smith,” “I put the dog to sleep and cut out its brain to find out what was special about it.”
“And?” Jones asked.
“Do you know, I couldn’t find anything which would explain its extraordinary abilities.” Professor Smith replied.
At that moment, the professor’s niece came into the room.
“Can I play with my doggie, uncle? Please! He’s so clever.”
Neither science nor philosophy had an answer for the little girl.
56. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The clever dog was sure to be saved by the two scientists.
B. Professor Smith insisted on seeing the remarkable dog.
C. Professor Smith was disappointed at the result.
D. When asked the number of states in the U.S. , the dog barked fifty times.
57. What struck the scientist most in the dog’s performance?
A. The dog’s great intelligence. B. The dog’s dancing to the music.
C. The dog’s understanding of its master. D. The dog’s ability to talk after a fashion.
58. Who do you think would feel most pitiful at the end of the story?
A. Smith. B. Jones. C. The dog’s owner. D. The little girl.
59. The underlined sentence “You what?” probably means ________.
A. What are you doing? B. What’s the matter with you?
C. What do you want me to do? D. What does your niece think of the dog?
60. What happened to the clever dog?
A. It was killed by the professor. B. It was protected by the little girl.
C. It managed to escape from being killed. D. It helped the professor do his experiment.
B
It is only during the last few years that man has generally realized that in the world of nature a balance exists between all forms of life. No living thing can exist by itself. It is part of a system in which all forms of life are joined together. If we change one part of the nature order, this will almost certainly bring about changes in some other part.
The cutting of forests reduced the supply of oxygen. The killing of weeds and insects by chemicals led to the wide-spread poisoning of animals and birds. The throwing of waste products into the ocean hurt life in the sea, while waste gases changed the chemical balance of the atmosphere and shut out some of the sun’s necessary life-giving rays.
And so we could go on adding more examples until in despair we might feel like giving up the struggle to control these harmful human activities. Man is very clever at changing the world around him to satisfy his immediate needs, but he is not so clever at looking far ahead, or at thinking about what the future results of his action might be. Man may well destroy himself because of his silly action.
61. The first paragraph tells us that _____.
A. everything in nature can’t exist without the help of man
B. no living thing can live naturally
C. all living things in nature depend on each other
D. man has known the importance of the balance of nature for a long time
62. In the second paragraph the examples given are used to prove that _____.
A. it is only during the last few years that man has generally known the balance of nature
B. there are some living things which can exist by themselves without change
C. all forms of life belong to a system in which all the parts can be changed for one another
D. we can change one form of life without destroying the balance of nature
63. The last paragraph suggests that in order to get his immediate benefits_____.
A. man often fails to think about their future results of his action
B. man is always too eager in planning for distant future
C. man often feels that he will have to give up in despair
D. man is always anxious to control his activities within limits
64. Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. The cutting down woods does little harm to human beings.
B. Man has to pay much more attention to the future results of his present action.
C. Oxygen comes from forests.
D. The passage tells us to try our best to get as much as possible immediately.
65. Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?
A. The Secret of Nature B. The Balance of Nature
C. The Order of Nature D. The Changes of Nature
C
Preserving Nature for Future
Demands for stronger protection for wildlife in Britain sometimes hide the fact that similar needs are felt in the rest of Europe．Studies by the Council of Europe，of which 21 countries are members，have shown that 45 per cent of reptile(爬行动物)species and 24 per cent of butterflies are in danger of dying out．
European concern for wildlife was outlined by Dr．Peter Baum—an expert in the environment and natural resources division of the council—when he spoke at a conference arranged by the administrators of a British national park．The park is one of the few areas in Europe to hold the council’s diploma for nature reserves of me highest quality, and Dr．Baum had come to present it to the park once again．He was afraid that public opinion was turning against national parks，and that those set up in the 1960s and 1970s could not be set up today．But Dr．Baum clearly remained a strong supporter of the view that natural environments needed to be allowed to survive in peace in their own right． ??? “No area could be expected to survive both as a true nature reserve and as a tourist attraction。”he went on．The short-sighted view that reserves had to serve immediate human demands for outdoor recreation(户外娱乐)should be replaced by full acceptance of their importance as places to preserve nature for the future． ??? “We forget that they are the guarantee of life systems，on which any town or city finally depends.” Dr．Baum went on．“We could manage without most industrial products，but we could not manage without nature．However, our natural environment areas，which are the original parts of our countryside，have become just islands in a spoiled and highly polluted 1andmass．”

Ⅰ. 下面是一篇杂志文章，请将标有A-F的段落插入文章中标号61-65的合适位置，使这篇文章意义完整，结构连贯；其中有一个段落是多余的。将答题纸标号为61-65中的相应字母涂黑。
A great many articles and books discussing environmental and resource problems begin with proposition that there is an environmental and resource crisis. If this means that he situation of humanity is worse now than in the past, then the idea of a crisis—and all that follows from it—is dead wrong. In almost every respect important to humanity, the trends have been improving, not deteriorating.
Our world now supports 5.6 billion people. In the nineteenth century, the earth could sustain only 1 billion. And 10,000 years ago, only 1 million people could keep themselves alive. People are now living more healthily than ever before.
One would expect lovers of humanity—people who hate war and worry about famine in Africa—to jump with joy at this extraordinary triumph of the human mind and human organization over the raw forces of nature. 1._______
It is amazing but true that a resource shortage resulting from population or income growth usually leaves us better off than if the shortage had never arisen. 2._______
The prices of food, metals, and other raw materials have been declining by every measure since the beginning of the nineteenth century, and as far back as we know；that is, raw materials have been getting less scarce throughout history, defying the common sense notion that if one begins with an inventory of a resource and uses some up, there will be less left. This is despite, and indirectly because of, increasing population. 3.________
Also, we do not say that a better future happens automatically or without effort. 4.____
We are confident that the nature of the physical world permits continued improvement in humankind’s economic lot in the long run, indefinitely. Of course, there always newly arising local problems, shortages, and pollution, resulting from climate or in creased population and income and new technologies. Sometimes temporary large-scale problems arise. 5 _____. That is the great lesson to be learned from human history.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A. If firewood had not become scarce in seventeenth-century England, coal would not have been developed. If coal and whale oil shortages hadn’t loomed, oil wells would not have been dug.
B. But the world’s physical conditions and the resilience (power of recovering quickly) of a well-functioning economic and social system enable us to overcome such problems, and the solutions usually leave us better off than if the problem had never arisen.
C. The recent extraordinary decrease in the death rate—to my mind, the greatest miracle in history—accounts for the bumper crop of humanity. In the last 200 years, life expectancy in the advanced countries jumped from the mid-30’s to 70’s.
D. Instead, they lament (feel sorrow) that there are so many human beings, and wring their hands (indicate despair) about the problems that more people inevitably bring, and resources will be further diminished.
E. It will happen because men and women—sometimes as individuals, sometimes as enterprises working for profit, sometimes as voluntary nonprofit groups, and sometimes as governmental agencies—will address problems with muscle and mind, and will probably overcome, as has been usual through history.
F. Statistic studies show that population growth doesn’t lead to slower economic growth, though this defies common sense. Nor is high population density a drag on economic development.
G. We don’t say that all is well everywhere, and we don’t predict that all will be rosy in the future. Children are hungry and sick；people live out lives of physical of intellectual poverty and lack of opportunity；war or some other pollution may do us in.
Ⅱ.阅读表达（共5小题，每小题3分，满分15分）
With only about 1, 000 pandas left in the world, China is desperately trying to clone the animal and save the endangered species. That’s similar to what Texas A＆M University researchers have been undertaking for the past five years in a project called “Noah’s Ark”.
Noah’s Ark is aimed at collecting eggs, embryos(胚胎), semen and DNA of endangered animals and storing them in liquid nitrogen(氮). If certain species should become extinct, Dr. Duane Kraemer, a professor in Texas A＆M’S College of Veterinary Medicine, says there would be enough of the basic building blocks to reintroduce the species in the future.
It is estimated that as many as 2, 000 species of mammals, birds and reptiles will become extinct in over 100 years because they could not adapt to a changing environment.
The panda, native only to China, is in danger of becoming extinct in the next 25 years.
Chinese scientists said they grew an embryo introducing cells from a dead female panda into the egg cells of a Japanese white rabbit. They are now trying to implant the embryo into a host animal.
The entire procedure could take from three to five years to complete.
“The nuclear transfer(核子移植) of one species to another is not easy, and the lack of available(capable of being used) panda eggs could be a major problem,” Kraemer believes. “They will probably have to do several hundred transfers to result in one pregnancy(having a baby). It takes a long time and it’s difficult, but this could be groundbreaking science if it works. They are certainly not putting any live pandas at risk, so it is worth the effort,” adds Kraemer, who is one of the leaders of the Project at Texas A＆M, the first-ever attempt at cloning a dog.
“They are trying to do something that’s never been done, and __________ our work in Noah’s Ark. We’re both trying to save animals that face extinction. I certainly appreciate their effort and there’s a lot we can learn from what they are attempting to do. It’s a research that is very much needed.”
1.What is the best title of the passage? (Please answer within 10 words)
__________________________________________________________________
2. According to Professor Kraemer, the major problem in cloning pandas would be the lack of _______.

答案与简析
听力答案
1—5：CABAB 6—10：BAABC 11—15：ABCBA 16—20：CAABA
单选答案
21．C 根据Nor at all可以看出“我一点也不介意”，所以我很乐意；A不符合英语习惯；B与not at all矛盾；D应改为I’d like to。
22．B???状语从句so和such都可与that连用来引导结果状语从句，so一般修饰形容词，such一般修饰名词和名词短语；so… that结构表示结果时，可将so和它所修饰的形容词提前，但句子要倒装。本题易误选A。
23．B。本题考查词组draw one’s attention, 所以答案选
24．B 分析句子结构得知，此处缺谓语，故排除C和D；result in“导致”，相当于lead to；result from“因….”，根据句意，应选result in。
25．A wander“徘徊，来回”；hunt for“寻找，搜索”。句意为“大学毕业后，为了找到合适的工作，他去了一个又一个城市。”
26．A 此处是独立结构作状语。Take…into consideration“把…..考虑在内”；apply“申请（工资，职务等）”。句意为“考虑到各方面的因素，她决定在这个公司申请一个新的工作。”
27．D contain表示“包含某种成分和部分”；include表示“其中包括某一部分”。句意为“绿色蔬菜含有营养物质，包括维生素A和C。”
28．D。???before常可用于将来时态，表示“才；就”：until和before都可以表示主句的情景发生在从句的情景之前，此时它们主要有两个区别：①带有until从句的肯定句主句中的谓语动词必须是持续性的，而带有before从句的主句中的谓语动词，则不必是持续性的；②until引出的分句内容是真实的，而before引出的分句的内容可能是真实的，也可以是非真实的。分析句子意思，根据连词意义及上下文逻辑，正确理解连词的区别。
29．A
30．A as a result表示“结果是”；after all表示“毕竟”；anyway表示“无论如何, 总之”；otherwise表示“否则；要不然”。
31．B suggest (to sb) that-clause表示 (向某人)建议时,后边的从句用虚拟语气,即(should)+动词原型。
32．B protect sb from (doing) sth 表示保护某人免受……的伤害。
33．C。get used to 和be used to后面都接名词、代词或动名词，而used to后跟动词原形，所以答案为C。
34．A 本句意思是他深思熟虑之后决定申请新的职位，所以按句意选A。
35．C。too…to…相当于so…that的否定句。
完形答案
答案：36—40：CABDB 41—45：DBCBA 46—50：ACDAA 51—55：CCDBA
野生动植物是生态系统的重要组成部分。它不仅对人类的生存和发展起着重要作用，同时也造就了多姿多彩的大自然，大大丰富了人类的文化生活，维护着自然界的生态平衡。但是由于自然环境的变迁和人类活动的影响，特别是近些年来人类对野生动植物的过度开发利用，造成了野生动植物资源的急剧减少。为了我们人类自身的生存，我们赶快行动起来，保护濒危野生动植物。
36. C be superior to“胜过, 比...好”；different与from连用；same前须加the。
39. A admit“”承认(事实、错误等)
40. B conditions(复数)“环境”；environment是集合名词，没有复数形式，常指"给人思想、感情等造成影响的事物或情况"；surrounding常以复数形式出现，多指自然环境。Situation多指“势, 局势, 局面, 情况, 境遇, 处境”。
41. D do experiments on“拿…做试验”。
42. B recently“最近”。
43. C species（植物或 动物的）种；style“风格”

46. A 食物链被严重地破坏。其它不和语境。
47. C 此处指“自然平衡被破坏”。Keep the balance of用在此处不合适。
48. D agree“同意”，不和句意；reject“拒绝，抵制”，后跟名词；dissipate“驱散”。
49. A die out “灭绝，消失”。多指物种的灭绝或风俗、习惯的消失，强调动作的结束；die away慢慢消失。（多指声音、光线、风等）逐渐减弱，逐渐模糊，逐渐消失。强调过程。；die back枝叶枯萎；die down（多指火、兴奋、光线、暴风雨等）逐渐变弱、平息，逐渐暗淡，逐渐降低。表示过程，常可与die away 替换。
50. A reason“原因，理由”；result“结果”；opinion“意见”；account“帐户，描述”。句意为“我们没有理由拒绝…..”
51. C 我们应该和他们和平相处。

A篇答案：56—60：CADBA
56. C 判断正误题。由文中“…I couldn’t find anything which would explain its extraordinary abilities.”得出答案。
57. A 概括题。小狗非凡的智力引起了这位科学家的注意。
58. D 推测题。小姑娘非常喜欢这只小狗，得知小狗被杀后肯定非常痛心。
59. B 判断理解题。“You what”可译为“你怎么啦？”，教授肯定心情沮丧，脸色难看。由下文he cried, unbelieving推出。
60. A 概括题。教授因做实验，需要把小狗杀死。
B篇答案：61—65：CCABB
61. C 主旨大意题。根据第一段No living thing can exist by itself.可以看出自然界的所有生物都得相互依靠。
62.C 推理判断题。本段举的例子都是一些具体的人类活动对大自然环境的影响，所以C说明所有的生物都生存于同一个系统内，既有联系又有影响。
63. A 推理判断题。we might feel like giving up the struggle to control these harmful human activities.人们不能考虑到自己的行为的后果，最终难于解决所造成的问题。
64. B 判断正误题。“Oxygen comes from forests.”不完全正确，因为氧气不全是树木产生的，还有其他植物，所以C不正确。其他都有明显错误。
65. B 主旨大意题。文章第一句就指明了“人们对‘平衡’问题意识到的很晚，下面都是列举如何破坏平衡的。
C篇答案：66—70：DBCAC
66．D? 第一段的第二个句子是这么说的：有21个国家组成的欧洲委员会的研究表明，45％的爬行动物和24％的蝴蝶濒临灭绝。由此可见，D是正确的答案。
67．B? 根据文章第二段首句可看出答案。
68．C 根据第三段首句可知选C；根据第一段可排除A；根据第二段首句可排除B；D项未提及。
69．A? 该题问的是：下面四个陈述句中哪一个可以从最后一段中推出?有两句话特别明显：我们没有大部分的工业产品还是可以生存的，? 但是如果没有自然我们则不可能生存。然而，原来属于我们农村一部分的自然环境区域已经缩小成受到破坏的、高度污染的地块中的孤岛。不难看出，工业的发展是以牺牲农村为代价的。
70．C? 该题问的是：第二段最后一个句子蕴涵了什么?这个句子是这么说的：然而，Baum博士旗帜鲜明地继续支持这样的观点：自然环境本身就需要不受侵扰地生存下来。不难看出：C是该句所蕴涵的。
D篇答案：71—75：ABDAC
71．A 推理判断题。从这三个职位的要求看，都提到了需要英语口语和书面语学的很好，其中两个提到要求是广州市民，没有说要求是计算机专业的毕业生，第一、三则提到求职者要愿意出差，因此A是这三则工作的共同点。
72．B 推理判断题。从本文的相关内容看，说对合格人员有竞争工资，有红包，有个人的发展机会等，开头提到其历史悠久，提到提供的三个岗位，但没有提到提供住宿，从文章中要求是广州市民判断，这里是不提供住宿的。
73．D 判断推理题。本文最后部分说求职者应该提出自己的预期薪水，从第一节的叙述看，其提供的产品和服务跨度大，三个职位的要求中都提到需要有工作经验，但没有说一旦录用后马上到德国汉堡的公司总部接受培训。
74．A 猜测词义题。语境说的是对求职者的要求，要在“相关的”行业有过工作经历。
75．C 细节理解题。从文章最后一句可以排除A和B(Telephone inquiry or personal visit will not be received.)；D项文中未涉及。

II.书面表达
Recently we have had a heated discussion on whether people should keep pets at home in cities.
Some students think it’s a good idea to keep pets because many old people who live alone at home can get some comfort from pets. Besides, getting along well with animals will make our life interesting. On the contrary, the other students are against the idea. In their opinions, if too many people keep pets at home, it is bad for the environment. What is worse, pets may make too much
noise and even attack people.
I like animals, so I don’t think it’s bad to keep pets at home. But we must take some measures to prevent them from polluting our environment.
备选题
I. 匹配题答案：
1.D．（文章引言段的第一句表明了此文讨论的是environmental and resource crisis， 其末句则体现了作者的观点：人类生活的各主要方面一直趋向改善，而非变坏。第三段接着说，我们本可预期人们会如此triumph（胜利，只上段所说：“世界人口增多，但生活却更好”而言），而jump with joy。此处用的是虚拟，表明事实并非如此。
2.A．此段第一句是一概括性论断，其后应有事实例证予以早晨。
3.G．根据下段Also, we do not say可以看出。（文章段落常用连接方式，即：上一段的末句引导下一段的首句。）
4.E．此空前一句中“happens”，E项中有“will happen”与之呼应。
5.B．文章结论段，再现或深化文章的主题思想。B项的“But”使此段自然地转回主题。

78. this is very similar to/ so it is with(根据下面的句子，不难看出)
79．From the passage , we know that about two thousand of species will probably die out in about a century.

I’m sure that any of you who have been in our college for a long time may have already heard about this course. As you may know, almost half of the students in my class failed the exam last term. Maybe you will feel afraid. Let me explain how that came about. This class is a composition class. In composition there are certain rules that must be followed. It is unfortunate that these days many students feel these rules are not necessary. And any paper that can not be finished on time will not be accepted. I also ask you to do some reading on which I will test. The class meets on Tuesday and Thursday. Your final grade is based on the total scores of the four tests and six compositions. Any time you have a problem, please come to me in my office from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on the same days as class. My office is on the fourth floor. For Thursday you will write a composition about the story on Page 74 of the textbook. If there aren’t questions, that will be all for today. See you Thursday.
