They never write, unless homework requires it. They find the writing process painful and difficult. How awful it is to be able to speak in a language but not to write in it, especially with its rich vocabulary. Being able to speak but not write is like living in an enormous mansion and never leaving one small room. When I meet students who think they can’t write, I know, as a teacher, my duty is to show them the rest of the rooms. My task is to build fluency and accuracy while providing the opportunity in any writing activity to enhance(增强) the moral and emotional development of my students. One great way to do this is by having students write a journal in class every day. Writing ability is like strength training. Writing needs to be done just like exercise; just as muscles grow stronger with exercise, writing skills improve quickly with writing practice daily. I often see a rise in the students’ confidence and performance after only a few weeks of journal writing. Expressing oneself in writing is one of the most important skills I teach to strengthen the whole student. When my students practice journal writing, they are practicing for their future academic, political, and emotional lives. They build skills so that some day they might write a great novel, a piece of sorely needed legislation(法规), or the perfect love letter. That they write in their journals every day puts them a step closer to fluency, eloquence(雄辩) and command of the language.
41. What is the purpose of the passage? A. To encourage students to keep a journal every day. B. To analyze students’ problems in learning languages. C. To stress the importance of writing in language learning. D. To introduce an effective way of improving students’ writing.42. The underlined phrase “an enormous mansion” in Paragraph 2 refers to students’ ___. A. writing opportunity B. large house C. large vocabulary D. emotional life43. In the author’s view, what can students benefit from the journal writing? A. It is beneficial to students’ future career. B. It can make students more emotional. C. It is helpful to students’ homework. D. It can enlarge students’ vocabulary. B As the pace of life continues to increase, we are getting more and more stressed and we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But learning to live with a certain amount of stress is of great importance while relaxation is completely necessary for a healthy mind and body. Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing as it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health. The amount of stress a person can withstand(经受住) depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact, we make a choice between “fight” and “flight” and in more primitive days, the choice made the difference between life and death. The crises(危机) we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have formed links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it to keep our mind and body healthy. 44. What does the author mainly want to tell us in this passage? A. Relaxation is necessary for our health. B. We should get rid of stress in a proper way. C. Long lasting stress usually leads to serious diseases. D. We should learn to live with a certain amount of stress. 45. The underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 probably means that _____. A. even a little stress causes us to make a choice between life and death B. we react both chemically and physically though we are under slight pressure C. we must answer whether we should remove the stress no matter how small it is D. the stress is not big but it can lead to serious heart disease or high blood pressure C Sometime in the next century, the familiar early-newspaper on the front porch will disappear. And instead of reading your newspaper, it will read to you. You’ll get up and turn on the computer newspaper just like switch on the TV. An electric voice will distribute stories about the latest events, guided by a program that selects the type of news you want. You’ll even get to choose the kind of voice you want to hear. Want more information on the brief story? A simple touch makes the entire text appear. Save it in your own personal computer if you like. These are among the predictions from communication experts working on the newspaper of the future. Pictured as part of broader home-based media and entertainment systems, computer newspapers would unite print and broadcast reporting, offering news and analysis with video images of news events. Most of the technology is available now, but convincing more people that they don’t need paper to read a newspaper is the next step. But resistance to computer newspapers may be stronger from within journalism. Since it is such a cultural change, it may be that the present generation of journalists and publishers will have to die off before the next generation realizes that the newspaper industry is no longer a newspaper industry. Technology is making the end of traditional newspapers unavoidable. Despite technological advances, it could take decades to replace news-print with computer screens. It might take 30 to 40 years to complete the changeover because people need to buy computers and because newspapers have established financial interests in the paper industry. 47. The best title for this passage is _____. A. Computer Newspapers Are Well Liked B. Newspaper of the Future Will Likely Be on Computer C. Paper Newspaper Are out of Fashion D. Communication Technology in the Future 48. It might take 30 or 40 years for computer newspapers to replace traditional newspaper because _____. A. it is technologically impossible now B. computer newspapers are too expensive C. both the general people and professional journalists are against them D. traditional newspapers are easy to read 49. Which of the following is not an advantage of computer newspapers? A. They are cheaper than newspapers. B. They are convenient to use. C. You can get more information from them quickly. D. You can easily save information for future use.
50. The reason why journalists are not eager to accept computer newspaper is that _____. A. they don’t know how to use computers B. they think computer newspapers take too much time to read C. they are afraid that they might be unfit for their jobs D. they have been trained to work for traditional newspapers 51. We can infer from the passage that _____. A. all technological changes are good B. it will be some time before new technologies are accepted C. new technologies will replace old ones sooner or later D. traditional newspapers will stay for another century D In recent years, Israeli(以色列的) consumers have grown more demanding as they’ve become wealthier and more worldly-wise. Foreign travel is popular among the citizens; this summer alone, one in 10 citizens will go abroad. Receiving higher standards of service elsewhere, Israelis are returning home expecting the same. American firms have also begun arriving in large numbers. Chains such as KFC, McDonald’s and Pizza Hut are setting a new standard of customer service, using strict employee training and constant monitoring to ensure the friendliness of frontline staff. Even the American habit of telling departing customers to “Have a nice day” has caught on all over Israel. “Nobody wakes up in the morning and says, ‘Let’s be nicer,’” says Itsik Cohen, director of a big firm, “Nothing happens without competition.” Monopolies(垄断者) that until recently have been free to take their customers for granted now fear what Michael Perry, a marketing professor, calls “the revengeful(报复的) consumer.” When the government opened up competition with Bezaq, the phone company, its international branch lost 40% of its market share, even while offering competitive rates, says Perry, “People wanted revenge for all the years of bad service.” The electric company, whose monopoly may be short-lived, has suddenly stopped requiring users to wait half a day for a repairman. Now, appointments are scheduled to the half-hour. The El Al Airlines, has retrained its employees to emphasize service and is satisfied with the results, as can be shown from this sentence “You can feel the change in the air.” which appears in an ad campaign. 52. It may be inferred from the passage that _____. A. customer service in Israel is now improving B. wealthy Israeli customers are hard to please C. the tourist industry has brought chain stores to Israel D. Israeli customers prefer foreign products to home-made ones 53. In the author’s view, higher service standards are impossible in Israel _____. A. if customers continue to buy the products produced by foreign companies B. unless foreign companies are introduced in greater numbers C. if there’s no competition among companies D. without strict training of employees 54. If someone in Israel today needs a repairman in case of a power failure, _____. A. they can have it fixed in no time B. it’s no longer necessary to make an appointment C. the appointment takes only half a day to make D. they only have to wait half an hour at most 55. Why did Bezaq’s international branch lose 40% of its market share? A. Because the rates it offered were not competitive enough. B. Because customers were dissatisfied with its past service. C. Because the service offered by its competitors was far better. D. Because it no longer received any support from the government.第四部分:书面表达(共两节,满分20分) 第一节 选词填空(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分) 根据句意,选择适当的词并用其恰当的形式填空,每空只填一个词。

The Empire State Building, the White House, New York City and even the American president himself have all been threatened(威胁) by terrorist attacks in these exciting films. The films “True lies”, released in 1994 is considered to be a good example of this kind of movie. The special effects, including explosions and missiles, make the action look like a real thing. “Independence Day” in 1996 took this type of movie one step further by blowing up the White House. This science fiction movie is about a war between human beings and aliens from another planet. In the movie, the World Trade Center towers are destroyed. Violence has become a major part of Hollywood movies, and this is what people enjoy. Soon after the attacks, many famous films companies stopped the planned releases of some of their new movies, especially if their films showed terrorist attacks or plane crashes. “Swordfish” was top of the American box office in June. But the movie’s story was frighteningly similar to the Sep. 11 disaster. The film would have been stopped in American and British cinemas after the attack. But it’s unlikely that Hollywood will stay quiet for long. It is already waiting for the feeling in America to calm down. 41. What is the main subject of the newspaper article? A. The relationship between the Sept. 11 attack and Hollywood films. B. The effect of the Sept. 11 attack on Hollywood films. C. The response Hollywood made to the Sept. 11 attack. D. The result of Hollywood films showing violence and disasters. 42. Which of the following is true? A. Hollywood made a lot of money out of the film “Swordfish” in June. B. Hollywood stopped making films showing terrorism and disasters after the Sept. 11 attack. C. “Swordfish” was not allowed to be shown after the Sept. 11 attack. D. The World Trade Center was destroyed because no superman came to save it. 43. From this article we know that _____. A. Hollywood is a film-making center making films of violence and disasters B. too many Hollywood films showing terrorism and disasters resulted in the Sep. 11 attack C. people who were used to the Hollywood films were not shocked at the Sept. 11 attack D. in fact, the Sept. 11 attack had nothing to do with Hollywood films B Gary Finkle was seriously hurt in a swimming-pool accident seven years ago. A heavy-set, bearded man of 27, he is one of thousands of Americans who have lost actually all feeling and movement from their shoulders down. He lives with his wife, Micky, and a female monkey named Jo outside the village of Andes, New York. Gary takes part in an unusual organization called Helping Hands: Simian Aides(猴子助手) for the disabled. The organization supplies the disabled with trained monkeys that reduce the disabled person’s dependence on family, friends and hired servants. Using his mouth, Gary controls a small laser(激光) pointer fixed on his wheel-chair. With it, he directs Jo to change books or the tape-recorder. She brings him drinks from a refrigerator and clears away empty containers. When asked, Jo will fetch the remote control for the TV and place it on Gary’s working table where he can operate it with his mouthstick. This mouthstick can be used for practically everything: turning the pages of a book, dialing the telephone, changing channels on TV, working at a typewriter or computer. If Gary’s mouthstick drops to the floor, Jo will pick it up and gently put it again into his mouth. “I can’t imagine living without her,” Gary says. He will always need human assistance for such things as getting in and out of bed, bathing or changing his clothes. But having Jo reduces his dependence on Micky, making it possible for her to do things in town without worrying about her husband’s safety.44. Gary, who was disabled, can’t _____. A. stand up to shake hands B. greet guests C. admire the things outside D. turn his head45. Before Jo came to the family, Gary _____. A. depended completely on his servant B. depended mainly on an assisting machine C. depended on the pity of other people D. depended completely on his wife46. The underlined word “her” in the last paragraph refers to _____. A. Gary B. Micky C. Jo D. Finkle47. This text is mainly about _____. A. why Gary and Jo are good friends B. Gary’s accident as a swimmer C. Gary’s life and experience D. trained monkeys that can help the disabled C The office had always been a place to get ahead. Unfortunately, it is also a place where a lot of natural resources start to fall behind. Take a look around next time you’re at work. See how many lights are left on when people leave. See how much paper is being wasted. How much electricity is being used to run computers that are left on. Look at how much water is being wasted in the restrooms. And how much solid waste is being thrown out in the rubbish cans. We bet it’s a lot. Now, here are some simple ways you can produce less waste at work. When you are at the copier, only make the copies you need. Use both sides of the paper when writing something less important. Turn off your lights when you leave. Use a lower watt bulb in your lamp. Drink your coffee or tea out of your mugs instead of single-use cups. Set up a recycling box for cans and one for bottles. And when you’re in the bathroom brushing your teeth or washing your face, don’t let the tap run. Remember, if we use fewer resources today, we’ll save more for tomorrow.48. The main purpose of the passage is to tell people _____. A. the disadvantages of working in an office B. the waste produced in an office C. to save resources when working in an office D. how to save water in a restroom49. From the passage we can infer that in the office _____. A. using computers is a waste of resource
B. many people don’t turn off the computers after using them C. computers are run by electricity D. a computer is not a must for working50. The underlined word “mugs” is most likely to be _____. A. a machine that makes coffee B. a container that can be used again and again C. a paper product for tea D. something that can only be found in an office51. It is suggested that we use both sides of the paper at the copier because _____. A. we are short of paper B. the printing is not important C. we should save paper D. we have to pay for the paper D Have you ever played the video dance game? Now such games are used to help lose weight! Like many other teenage boys, Jones loved sports. But at 5 feet, 175 pounds, he found his weight a trouble. His doctor wanted him to lose 50 pounds so that he may catch up with the football game by the end of summer. Jones chose the popular dance Revolution video game at home to increase his activity. He had lost about 10 pounds by changing his diet. Now, after two weeks playing the game, he has lost another 10! The health study is being done by an insurance(保险) company, which hopes that game will lead to better health and lower costs. “Obesity claims(肥胖索赔) last year cost us $77 million. We have to cut those costs”, said a member of the insurance group. The company provides a game console(游戏主机), a dance mat and software for the six-month, $ 60,000 study. The study is more than commercial thing of an insurance company. It is widely supported by physical education and health professionals. In West Virginia, 43% of the nearly 6,000 children examined for heart disease risk were considered over-weighted; more than 25% were too fat. “We are in a crisis of childhood obesity not only in West Virginia but in America,” said a researcher. Researchers are looking at the potential for improving effects by using the game. A teacher in West Virginia has been using the video game in her classes since last fall. She reported that the game does improve heart health as well as eye-hand coordination, and her students take the video game as a great alternative to jumping rope or ball games. The US Education Department is putting the game in 20 schools to control childhood obesity. Well, are you going to try such a game to dance away your extra weight?52.
