A
The greatest recent social changes have been in the lives of women. During the twentieth century there has been a remarkable shortening of the proportion (比率，比例) of a woman’s life spent in caring for children. A woman marrying at the end of the nineteenth century would probably have been in her middle twenties, and would be likely to have seven or eight children. By the time the youngest was fifteen, the mother would have been in her early fifties and would expect to live a further twenty years, during which custom, opportunity and health made it unusual for her to get paid work. Today woman marry younger and have fewer children. Usually a woman’s youngest child will be fifteen when she is forty-five and can be expected to live another thirty-five years and is likely to take paid work until retirement at sixty. Even while she has the care of children, her work is lightened by household appliances (家用电器)and convenience foods.
This important change in women’s life-pattern has only recently begun to have its full effect on women’s economic position. Even a few years ago most girls left school at the first opportunity, and most of them took a full-time job. However, when they married, they usually left work at once and never returned to it. Today the school-leaving age is sixteen, but many girls stay at school after that age, and though women tend to marry younger, more married women stay at work at least until shortly before their first child is born. Very many more afterwards return to full or part-time work. Such changes have led to new relationship in marriage, with the husband accepting a greater share of the duties and satisfactions of family life, and with both husband and wife sharing more equally in providing the money, and running the home, according to their abilities and interests of each of them.
56．For women at the beginning of the twentieth century, the amount of time spent taking care of children .
A．was shorter than in previous centuries
B．was longer than in previous centuries
C．was considered to be surprisingly long
D．accounted for a great part of their lives
57．When she was over fifty, the late nineteenth century mother .
A．would be healthy enough to take paid employment
B．was usually expected to die fairly soon
C．would expect to work until she died
D．was unlikely to find a job even if she wanted one
58．One reason why today’s mother may take a job is that she .
A．is younger when her children are old enough to look after themselves
B．does not like her own children
C．need not worry about her children’s food
D．likes to share more equally in money with husband
59．The new life-pattern reflected in the relationship in marriage is the result of .
A．husbands’ finding greater satisfactions of family life
B．wives’ abilities in running the home
C．women’s improved economic position
D．husband and wife fighting for their own interests

A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading. It is remarkable first for what it contains: the range of news from local crime to international politics, from sport to business to fashion to science, and the range of comment and special features (特写) as well, from editorial page to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books, art, theatre and music. A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it: never completely, never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there, in and out glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through , reading just a few paragraphs of the next. A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but for more than any one reader is interested in. What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality (时事性), its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now . But immediately can the speed of production that goes with it mean also that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient（短暂的）value. For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self-awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading.
60．a modern newspaper is remarkable for all the following except its .
A．wide coverage B．same style
C．speed in reporting news D．popularity
61．According to the passage, the reason why no two people really read the “same” newspaper is .
A．people scan for the news they are interested in
B．different people prefer different newspapers
C．people have different views about what a good newspaper is
D．people are rarely interested in the same kind of news
62．It can be concluded from the passage that the newspaper readers .
A．apply reading techniques skillfully B．jump from one newspaper to another
C．appreciate the variety of a newspaper D．usually read a newspaper selectively
63．The best title for the passage would be .
A．The Importance of Newspaper Topicality
B．The Characteristics of a Good Newspaper
C．The Variety of a Good Newspaper
D．Some Suggestions on How to Read a Newspaper

Many people will remember the flight of the space shuttle (航天飞机)Challenger , in June, 1993. The achievement of Sally Ride, America’s first woman astronaut to fly into space, made this flight especially memorable. Students from two high schools in Camden, New Jersey, however, are likely to remember Norma rather than Sally whenever they think about the flight.
Norma didn’t travel alone. She brought about 100 companions along with her. Norma was an ant, a queen ant who, with her subjects, made up the first ant colony (群体) to travel into space. The ants were part of a science experiment designed by the students to test the effects of weightlessness on insects.
The equipment designed by the students for their colony functioned perfectly throughout the long space trip. The young scientists and their teachers were very sad to find that their insect astronauts had all died at some point before the container was returned to the school and opened. The problem did not occur in space, but on the ground after Challenger had landed. The container remained in the desert for nearly a week before the ant colony was removed. The hot, dry desert air dried out the colony’s container and the ants died from lack of moisture (水分).
The project was termed a success because it did provide useful information. Students will continue their efforts to find out exactly what went wrong. They will try to prevent the same difficulties from recurring (再发生) on future missions . They don’t want to be discouraged either by the death of the ants or by the $10,000 shuttle fare they will have to pay to send the next colony of ants into space.
64．The story is mainly about .
A．Sally Ride’s first ride B．space equipment for insects
C．a space experiment with ants D．going to school in New Jersey
65．The project wasn’t a failure because .
A．some important things were learned B．dead ants are better
C．everything went as expected D．students wrote about it
66．The ants died because .
A．weightlessness harmed them B．space caused too much pain
C．no one fed them in space D．they dried out in the desert
67．On the next space trip , ants .
A．will be sent without people B．should not be left in the desert too long
C．will have to pay double fare D．will escape the trip completely
68．What does the underlined word “subjects” mean in the text?
A．things talked about B．lessons you study at school
C．words stated in a sentence D．members ruled by a ruler
D
One of the qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit one’s mistakes. It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like “I was wrong about that, and it is even harder to say,” I was wrong, and you were right about that.”
I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago. He told me he had been the manager of a certain store in the neighbourhood where I grew up, and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons (in many countries, eggs are sold by the dozen and are put in cartons.) Then he related an incident and I began to remember unclearly the incident he was describing.
I was about eight years old at that time. I went into the store with my mother to do some shopping. On that particular day, I must have found my way to the food department where the incident took place.
There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there were lots of eggs in dozen and half-dozen cartons. The cartons were put there or four feet high. I must have stopped in front of the poles of egg cartons. Just then a woman came by pushing her shopping cart and knocked off the cartons. For some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the eggs back together, so I went to work.
The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened .When he appeared, I was on my knees looking at some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs broken, but to him it looked as though I was the one who just did it .He severely reprimanded me and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs. I tried to explain, but it was no good. Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident, it is plain that the manager did not.
69．According to the passage, many people will have a good opinion of those who .
A．often make mistakes but correct them in no time
B．have never made any mistakes
C．admit their mistakes
D．forget other people’s mistakes easily.
70．Which is the correct order of the following events?
a. I forgot all about the incident b. I went into the store.
c. a woman knocked off the egg cartons d. I stood in front of the egg cartons
e. the manager reminded me of the incident
f. the manager didn’t believe my explanation
g. I picked up the unbroken egg.
A．b, d, g, c, a, f, e B．b, d, e, g, f, c, a
C．b, c, d, g, e, f, a D．b, d, c, g, f, a, e
71．The underlined word “reprimanded” most probably means .
A．frightened B．scolded C．warned D．comforted
72．The best title for this passage should be .
A．A Case of Mistake B．The Manager I Never Forget
C．The Manager and I D．An Incident 15 Years Ago

阅读表达（5小题，每小题3分。共15分）阅读所给的一篇短文，并根据文章后的题目要求进行简答。
Many students want to learn English well, but they seem not to have proper ways to do this. Here are a few tips we’ve put together to help you learn English well.
Speak, speak speak!
Practice speaking as often as you can --- even speaking to yourself is good practice.
Try recording yourself whenever you can. Compare your pronunciation with the master version, see how you can do better and have another go. If you can do this several times, you will find that each version is better than the last.
Why not learn with someone else?
It helps if you can learn with someone else. If you can persuade a friend or family members to study with you, it will make you keep working. Agree times to meet and set goals for the week, and test each other regularly.
Don’t get stuck by a word you don’t know.
Practise improvising ways of getting your meaning across when speaking spontaneously(本能的),even if you don’t know the exact words or phrases. Think of things you might want to say whenever you have spare time. A basic example is the use of tenses, If you ______________ but want to talk about yesterday, use the verb in the present tense and use the word for “yesterday” . Use facial expression, hand movements, anything to get your meaning across.
Language learning is also about intuition(直觉)
Guesswork is an important strategy(策略) in learning a new language. When listening to recorded material, you aren’t expected to understand something new each time. Learn to make maximum use of all the clues you can pick up. For example, what do the speakers sound like? Happy? Angry? Calm? etc.
Build up your vocabulary.
A wide vocabulary is the key to successful language learning but don’t try to learn too much at once. It’s best to study frequently, for short periods of time. Take a maximum of six or seven items of vocabulary and learn them. Put them into sentences to fix them in your mind, then come back to then later. Much of the vocabulary in the course id presented by topic.
And above all, have fun.
What’s the best title of the passage? (Please answer within 10 seconds.)
Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?
Whenever it is possible, try making a record of yourself when speaking.
Please fill in the blanks in the fourth paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence. (Please answer within 10 words.)
How to listen to recorded material? (Please answer within 30 words.)
Translate the underlined sentence in the last paragraph into Chinese.
书面表达（满分30分）请根据下面的内容提示，写一篇120－150字左右的短文。
爱让我们感到幸福快乐。然而，一些人常常希望获得真爱，却又怀疑真爱的存在，他们认为人与人之间是一种利益关系，也因此逐渐丧失了爱的能力，并总感到幸福快乐远离着自己。
另一些人认为自己身边充满了亲人和朋友对自己的关爱，他们也同时回报着爱。在爱与被爱之中，他们享受着生活中的快乐幸福。
在你的生活中，你又怎样看待爱呢？

A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but for more than any one reader is interested in. What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality (时事性), its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now . But immediately can the speed of production that goes with it mean also that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient（短暂的）value. For all these reasons, reading newspapers efficiently which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self-awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading.

Many people will remember the flight of the space shuttle (航天飞机)Challenger , in June, 1993. The achievement of Sally Ride, America’s first woman astronaut to fly into space, made this flight especially memorable. Students from two high schools in Camden, New Jersey, however, are likely to remember Norma rather than Sally whenever they think about the flight.
Norma didn’t travel alone. She brought about 100 companions along with her. Norma was an ant, a queen ant who, with her subjects, made up the first ant colony (群体) to travel into space. The ants were part of a science experiment designed by the students to test the effects of weightlessness on insects.
The equipment designed by the students for their colony functioned perfectly throughout the long space trip. The young scientists and their teachers were very sad to find that their insect astronauts had all died at some point before the container was returned to the school and opened. The problem did not occur in space, but on the ground after Challenger had landed. The container remained in the desert for nearly a week before the ant colony was removed. The hot, dry desert air dried out the colony’s container and the ants died from lack of moisture (水分).
The project was termed a success because it did provide useful information. Students will continue their efforts to find out exactly what went wrong. They will try to prevent the same difficulties from recurring (再发生) on future missions . They don’t want to be discouraged either by the death of the ants or by the $10,000 shuttle fare they will have to pay to send the next colony of ants into space.
64．The story is mainly about .
A．Sally Ride’s first ride B．space equipment for insects

C．will have to pay double fare D．will escape the trip completely

C．words stated in a sentence D．members ruled by a ruler

One of the qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit one’s mistakes. It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like “I was wrong about that, and it is even harder to say,” I was wrong, and you were right about that.”
I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago. He told me he had been the manager of a certain store in the neighbourhood where I grew up, and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons (in many countries, eggs are sold by the dozen and are put in cartons.) Then he related an incident and I began to remember unclearly the incident he was describing.
I was about eight years old at that time. I went into the store with my mother to do some shopping. On that particular day, I must have found my way to the food department where the incident took place.
There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there were lots of eggs in dozen and half-dozen cartons. The cartons were put there or four feet high. I must have stopped in front of the poles of egg cartons. Just then a woman came by pushing her shopping cart and knocked off the cartons. For some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the eggs back together, so I went to work.
The manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened .When he appeared, I was on my knees looking at some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs broken, but to him it looked as though I was the one who just did it .He severely reprimanded me and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs. I tried to explain, but it was no good. Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident, it is plain that the manager did not.
69．According to the passage, many people will have a good opinion of those who .
A．often make mistakes but correct them in no time
B．have never made any mistakes
C．admit their mistakes
D．forget other people’s mistakes easily.
70．Which is the correct order of the following events?
a. I forgot all about the incident b. I went into the store.
c. a woman knocked off the egg cartons d. I stood in front of the egg cartons
e. the manager reminded me of the incident
f. the manager didn’t believe my explanation
g. I picked up the unbroken egg.
A．b, d, g, c, a, f, e B．b, d, e, g, f, c, a
C．b, c, d, g, e, f, a D．b, d, c, g, f, a, e
71．The underlined word “reprimanded” most probably means .
A．frightened B．scolded C．warned D．comforted
72．The best title for this passage should be .
A．A Case of Mistake B．The Manager I Never Forget
C．The Manager and I D．An Incident 15 Years Ago

Many students want to learn English well, but they seem not to have proper ways to do this. Here are a few tips we’ve put together to help you learn English well.
Speak, speak speak!
Practice speaking as often as you can --- even speaking to yourself is good practice.
Try recording yourself whenever you can. Compare your pronunciation with the master version, see how you can do better and have another go. If you can do this several times, you will find that each version is better than the last.
Why not learn with someone else?
It helps if you can learn with someone else. If you can persuade a friend or family members to study with you, it will make you keep working. Agree times to meet and set goals for the week, and test each other regularly.
Don’t get stuck by a word you don’t know.
Practise improvising ways of getting your meaning across when speaking spontaneously(本能的),even if you don’t know the exact words or phrases. Think of things you might want to say whenever you have spare time. A basic example is the use of tenses, If you ______________ but want to talk about yesterday, use the verb in the present tense and use the word for “yesterday” . Use facial expression, hand movements, anything to get your meaning across.
Language learning is also about intuition(直觉)
Guesswork is an important strategy(策略) in learning a new language. When listening to recorded material, you aren’t expected to understand something new each time. Learn to make maximum use of all the clues you can pick up. For example, what do the speakers sound like? Happy? Angry? Calm? etc.
Build up your vocabulary.
A wide vocabulary is the key to successful language learning but don’t try to learn too much at once. It’s best to study frequently, for short periods of time. Take a maximum of six or seven items of vocabulary and learn them. Put them into sentences to fix them in your mind, then come back to then later. Much of the vocabulary in the course id presented by topic.
And above all, have fun.

In our life love always makes us happy, so everyone wants to be loved.
Some people often hope for love but at the same time they doubt the existence of true love. They think it is only the profits that connect people with each other. As a conquence, they gradually lose the ability to love and always feel sad for not being loved in their life. However, some other people are always happy for the great love from people around them, and in return, they give their family, their friends their true love. So they enjoy their happy life everyday.
Love is everywhere. Only when you have love in your heart, can you find true love.
