第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题,每小题2分,满分40分）
A
Weather changes when the temperature and the amount of water in the atmosphere change. We can see and feel water coming from the atmosphere when we have rain. But the water must somehow get back to the atmosphere. Meteorologists call this the water cycle.
There are many stages in the water cycle. Rain falls when water vapor in clouds condenses(凝结). Drops of water form and fall to the ground. The water soaks into the ground and feeds streams and rivers. A lot of rain falls into the sea. The heat of the sun evaporates some of the water in the ground and in the rivers, lakes, and the sea. It changes the liquid water into water vapor. The vapor rises onto the air. Water vapor is normally invisible. On a very damp or humid day, however, you can sometimes see water vapor rising from a puddle(水坑)or pond in a mist above the water. Water vapor also gets into the air from living things. Trees and other plants take in water through their roots and give off water vapor from their leaves. People and land animals drink water and breathe out water vapor. In all these ways the water returns to the air. There it gathers to form clouds and condenses to form rain. The rain falls to earth, and the cycle starts again. It continues even if snow or hail(冰雹)fall instead because both eventually melt to form water. The amount of water vapor in the air depends on the temperature. The air is moister in the tropics than in the cold polar regions.
56. What is the main idea of the passage _______________
A. Water cycle. B. Water vapor.
C. How rain forms. D. Water, vapor, rain.
57. How many ways of the water returning to the air are discussed in the text _______________
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
58. From the passage we get to know_______________.
A. there is more water vapor in the air in the tropics than in cold polar regions
B. there is more water vapor in the air in cold polar region than in the tropics
C. it gets more rain in the tropics than in cold polar regions because there is less vapor
D. the amount of water vapor in the air depends on how often it rains
B
No one can believe that the over 6 300-kilometer long Great Wall might disappear some day. Believe it or not, the Great Wall is being destroyed by people. Less than 20 percent of the Great Wall built in the Ming Dynasty is still perfect, but about 80 percent is in danger. The Great Wall can be called “great” mostly because of its amazing length. But we should realize that the length was made up of one brick at a time. If we do nothing to save the Great Wall, it will become a series of separate wasteland rather than a historic site.
The Great Wall is actually a series of walls built and rebuilt by different dynasties over the past 2 000 years. It began in the rule of China’s first emperor, Qin Shihuang of the Qin Dynasty (221 BC～206 BC),and lasted into the Ming Dynasty. The parts built before the Ming Dynasty have nearly disappeared. People are familiar with sections such as Badaling in Beijing and Jiayuguan Pass in Gansu because they have been open to tourists for many years. But those sections far away from the public eyes have been almost forgotten.
Few local people knew the 3-meter-high walls made of earth and stones beside them are part of the Great Wall. The lack of knowledge is considered as one of the main reasons behind human.
The bricks on the Great Wall are carried off by countryside people to build their houses, sheep corral(畜栏) and pigsties(猪圈).Some were taken away to build roads. Bricks carved with people’s names are put away as remembrance. Rubbish is spread over the battlements(城垛).The bricks can be sold for 15 Yuan per tractor load. Those who destroyed and are destroying the Great Wall know its name, but are not clear about its cultural meaning. It will take a long time to let them know this. The local farmers not only carried off the body of the Wall but dug out the entire base.
It is necessary to protect the Great Wall. First of all, the officials should be aware of the importance of the Great Wall. Young Chinese should know more about the nation’s great civilization and learn to love it.
59.The main reason for which the Great Wall can be called “great” is_______________.
A. it was made by brick B. it was very wide
C. it was very long D. it had a long history
60. Why does the author say the Great Wall might disappear _______________
A. It is useless from now on. B. It will be replaced by a new one.
C. Some parts of it are being destroyed. D. It’s too old to be used again.
61.The underlined part “those sections far away from the public eyes” refers to the parts of the Great Wall_______________.
A. that are too difficult to understand B. nobody can watch
C. that are too far to been seen D. that are not well known to the public
62. What’s the main reason of the Great Wall’s being destroyed
A. The local people are short of culture knowledge.
B. The local people need bricks and stones to build houses.
C. The local people think that the Great Wall is not important.
D. The local people are against the government.
C
The basenji is a central African hunting dog. It comes from a country called Chad, which is north of the Central African Republic. The basenji was well-known as the “silent dog” because for centuries no basenjis had ever been known to bark. Then at a dog show in London in 1953,a basenji actually barked.
As well as being clever, basenjis are known for their natural courage and are still popular hunting dogs in Africa. But in America people keep them mainly because they are gentle and full of fun. The basenji has an unusual habit：it washes itself all over like a cat. It is a middle-sized dog,16 or 17 inches high from the shoulder. It weighs about 20 pounds. A basenji’s coat is short and silky. It may be brown, white, or gold, or a mixture of these three colors.
63.Basenjis were first found_______________.
A. in Africa, Europe and America B. in both Africa and America
C. in central Africa D. in North Africa
64.What made Basenjis so special？_______________
A. They were born quiet dogs.
B. They were a true friend of man.
C. One of them barked at a dog show in London.
D. They were funny enough to make people laugh.
65.Americans like basenjis because they are_______________.
A. quiet B. pretty C. clean D. pleasant
66.In what way are basenjis like cats？_______________
A. They make gentle sounds instead of barking.
B. They are fond of people and look like cats.
C. They clean themselves all over.
D. They have short, silky fur.

The West began to take more notice of the East. The fifth volume of an enormous work reassessing the Chinese contribution to science and technology is to be published next year. The first volume, which was published twenty years ago, set the tone for the whole work. In it, evidence was given to show that many inventions which, until then, western historians had claimed for Europe, were made first in China. The attempt to rewrite the intellectual history of the world was not received without protest by some reputable historians. However, the evidence that has been presented so far in the first four volumes has persuaded many historians who were skeptical at first. China’s invention of paper, printing, the magnetic compass and gunpowder has never been disputed, but this new history has added advanced bridge design, mechanical clocks, paddle boats and many other inventions to the list.
In the four volumes published so far no attempt has been made to explain why China has not kept up with the West in science and technology in modern times. It is probable that the answer is to be found in the social and economic history of China, where a stable society under a relatively kind regime(政权) of scholar-gentry(贵族) contrasts with the potentially revolutionary and dynamic(有活力的) society of the West at the end of the Middle Ages. In recent years, the Chinese government has been making every effort to catch up with the West again, and there is little doubt that the gap is being reduced year by year. But will China avoid the West’s mistakes
68. The first volume was published_______________.
A. ten years ago B. last year C. five years ago D. twenty years ago
69.In Line 7,the word “skeptical” means _______________.
A. doubtful B. worried C. sad D. angry
70. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage
A. Gunpowder. B. Needle. C. Paddle boats. D. Bridge design.
71. The best title for this passage is_______________.
A. China’s Inventions
B. Comparisons between the East and the West
C. China Is Catching Up
D. Situations in China

Japanese history has been shaped to an important degree by the influence of geographic location. It is somewhat like the British Isles at the other and of the Eurasian landmass. The Japanese islands, however, are more independent than the British Isles;115 miles separate them from the mainland, compared with the 21-mile width of the English Channel. Thus before their defeat by the USA, the Japanese has been seriously threatened by foreign invasion only in the thirteenth century. The Japanese, therefore, have been close enough to the mainland to benefit from the great Chinese civilization, but distant enough to be able to choose and refuse as they wished. In fact the Japanese have been unusually quick and clever in what they have brought in from abroad. Although widely regarded as a nation of borrowers they have independently developed, because of their independence, their own culture.
72.Which of the following shows the correct geographic location of the British Isles, Japan and the Eurasian landmass
E—the Eurasian; B—the British Isles; J—Japan
73.Why do we say the Japanese are borrowers _______________
A. Because they are easily influenced by their neighbors.
B. Because the Japanese islands are more independent.
C. Because they were defeated by the USA.
D. Because they are good at bringing in everything they need from abroad.
74. Japan develops her own culture in order to_______________.
A. make other developments
B. be quicker and cleverer to bring in what she wants to
C. keep independent
D. be dependent
75. Japanese history has been shaped by the influence of geographic location because_______________.
A. Japan is too far from the mainland to the conquered
B. Japan is so near to the mainland that she can easily learn everything there
C. Japan is near enough to be helped and far enough to be independent
D. China helped Japan a lot and let her choose what she liked and give up what she disliked

Learning to save money when you're young is an important lesson. All good lessons arid habits begin early, and saving is a skill that everyone needs. Many people—adults included—do not have a good sense of saving for the long run.
I have been lucky to learn this lesson early because I have had a grass-cutting business since I was 10 years old. Of the money I make I spend about 10 percent and save the other 90.
Making sure you save and don't spend too much is a good way to build up wealth. I have put my earnings in a bank. Many teens I know spend all the money they earn so it never has a chance to grow. Young people should realize that their teenage years are a great time to begin saving.
At high school many parents pay for almost everything, so your expenses can be small. If you have a lob, you should have fun with some of the money. But you should also save some so that it will grow. Then you can begin planning for your future. When you spend money, you not only lose that money, but also lose the interest you could have earned by saving it.
After high school, college is expensive and then "real" life begins, with expenses such as food and rent. If you can hold onto a good percentage of the money you earn as a teen, going to college and buying a house will be much easier.________________, the more time the money has to grow. If you are in your thirties without any savings, you will always have to struggle. The earlier you begin saving, the easier it is to create a nest egg.
Later in life it can be hard to start saving because general costs of living are more expensive and you may only have enough to pay your bills. If you want to buy a house and have a family, you need money to start with, which comes from saving.
Many say money cannot make you happy, and this is true. But money can help you to lead a secure life.
Saving early will mean you will have to work for fewer years when you are older. It will also allow you to spend time doing the things that you want to do.
In addition to this, it will mean you can live the way you want to without worrying.
76. What’s the best title of the passage
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
77. Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one
As long as you save early, you’ll do less work to live well at your old age.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
78. Please fill in the blank in the passage with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence. (Within 10 words)
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
79. According to the passage, what do you think of saving (Within 30 words)
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
80. Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.

单元测试卷答案
21. C equal在此句中都表示“平等”之意。
22. A句意：这个病人没有脱离危险。也就是说他并不比昨天好多少。
23. B因为very 修饰现在分词，而much修饰过去分词。
24. C为了避免重复，连词as和than后面的比较状语从句虽然可以作某些省略，但比较成分不能省略，否则会引起误解。如这里比较的是pressure，所以后面要用that来代替这个名词。如果代替的是复数名词，则用those。
25. A look after 照料；look for 寻找；look on 旁观；look at 看。
26. C resign 辞职；treat 对待；retire 退休。
27. D bring up 抚养长大；bring out 带出来；raised up应去掉up。
28. D on the basic principle 基本原则上。
29. D stress 表示“压力”。
30. A still一般表示原以为事情已经结束，但结果却相反。而already则表示某事已经发生了。它一般只用于陈述句与疑问句，不能用于否定句。yet表示一种期望，一般用于否定句与疑问句。
31. C有时，关系代词的确定还与定语从句的动词有关，而且还要合情合理，通常情况下是把鞋放在床下，put my shoes under the bed。
32. B the few pages of which...是带介词的定语从句，表示“这本书有几页……”。
33. B第一个从句是同位语从句，应用 why引导，因为why从句是说明 question的内容的。第二个空选用which的主要原因是这是一个非限定性定语从句。
34. A
35. B第二个空不能填who，因为如果将farmers作为先行词，这与从句中的谓语has的数不一致。which在此处是代替前面的整个句子。
36.B 前后照应逻辑推理词义比较。小男孩邀请妈妈去参加学校的第一次家长会。从后文不难看出，小男孩不想要他妈妈去，因为他妈妈脸上有疤痕，可他妈妈却愿意去，这事使得小男孩不快乐(enjoyment)，不激动(excitement)，不吃惊(surprise)，而是很失望(disappointment)，因为这样会让他尴尬，让他蒙羞。
37. A 语法规则。此句考查过去将来时态(would)。
38. D 前后照应词义比较。这将是第一次他妈妈与老师和同学会面(meet)。notice(注意到)，greet(问候，打招呼)，accept(认可，接受)都应该发生在meet动作之后，meet是先决起始动作。前文的his school’s first teacher-parent meeting已有所暗示。
39. B 常识运用前后照应词义比较。小男孩因为他妈妈的外表—脸上有块疤痕—而感到羞愧(ashamed)，而不是恶心(sick)，害怕(afraid)，疲惫(tired)。后文的the little boy was still embarrassed (尴尬) and hid himself from everyone有所暗示。
40.C 词义辨析常识运用逻辑推理。 妈妈的整个右脸上是一块明显的疤痕。疤痕在脸上不是包住(include)脸面，不是通过(pass)脸面，也不是遮蔽(shade)脸面，而是直接覆盖/铺在脸面上。include包住, 关住，包含, 包括；pass经过，通过；cover覆盖，铺，往往是物体与物体之间直接接触；shade遮蔽，使变暗，往往强调与物体之间有一定的空隙，使光变暗而形成遮蔽。
41.A 前后照应逻辑推理常识运用。 小男孩很在乎(care about)，也想过(think about)，但没有听人说过(hear about)，从来就不愿谈论(talk about)妈妈为什么又怎么得上的疤痕。
42.A 词义比较逻辑推理。家长会上，妈妈的自然的美貌和亲切的举动给到会的人留下了深刻的印象(impress)。impress使得深刻印象，打动；surprise使惊奇/惊讶；excite使兴奋, 使激动；comfort安慰, 使舒适。
43.D 词义比较逻辑推理。虽然(in spite of)妈妈脸上有疤痕，但这疤痕却掩饰不住妈妈的美丽和亲切。in sight of临近, 可被...望见；by means of通过，用，借助于；by way of 经由, 作为, 为了；in spite of虽然，尽管…仍，相当于though she had the scar on her face。
44.A 逻辑推理词义比较。但小男孩仍然感到尴尬难堪，而把自己藏(hide)起来，以免被大家看见。hide隐藏，掩饰，强调不被他人看见、发现；protect保护，强调不被他人伤害；separate分开, 隔离，使之不聚在一起；escape逃避, 避免，强调不被他人逮住而免去责任。
45.C 词义比较逻辑推理常识运用。 他真的躲避了起来，却听到(hear)了妈妈和老师之间的一段对话。注意within(在……的范围内, 不超出……的范围)的意义。hear是先决起始动作，先有了hear，而后才会有understand(明白，了解)、learn(获悉)和remind(提醒，使想起)。
46.A 常识运用逻辑推理词义比较。 老师询问的是妈妈脸上的疤痕，就肯定是小心谨慎地(carefully)，而决不是、也用不着严肃认真地(seriously)，紧张不安(nervously)，忧虑不安地(anxiously)。
47.B 语句连贯词义比较。事情发生在小男孩还是婴儿的时候(when)。as当……时，通常指伴随着另一情况而发生；when当…的时候，指某一行为或情况发生之时，另一行为或情况也发生，通常是短暂行为；since自……以来，通常与现在完成时态连用；while当……的时候，通常指与另一情况的同时发生，表示持续行为。
48.D 句法结构。 此题考查too…to do sth.的结构。
49.A 逻辑推理固定搭配。因为火控制不住(out of control)，所以大家就都不敢闯进去救人。out of control不受控制，失去了控制；under control被控制住；in control在控制之下；over不与control搭配。
50.C 词义比较逻辑推理。妈妈被坠落的木头撞得失去了知觉(senseless)。helpless无助的, 无能的, 没用的；hopeless没有希望的, 绝望的, 不可救药；senseless不省人事的, 无感觉的；useless无用的, 无效的, 无益的。
51.D 词义比较逻辑推理前后照应。 妈妈她用不着指着(point)，擦揩(wipe)脸面，老师能够看得到，它也用不着展示(show)，而是摸了摸(touch)她烧坏的右脸，有所感触。注意与后句的联系。
52.B 词义比较逻辑推理。这个疤痕很丑(ugly)，很严重(serious)，很恐怖(frightening)，这都没有关系，问题是它会持久(lasting)而再也抹不去。
53.D 词义比较逻辑推理常识运用。可即便是这样，且直到今天，我忘不了(forget)，我也考虑(consider)了，我也认可(recognize)了，但我从来没有后悔(regret)过我所做的一切。
54.B 词义辨析逻辑推理。小男孩把妈妈楼在怀里，他感到了妈妈为他作出的牺牲的重大意义(sense)。honor尊敬，敬意，荣誉，光荣；sense意义，意味，意思；happiness幸福，快乐；pride自豪，骄傲。

56. A。主旨题。文章第1段，特别是最后一句Meteorologists call this the water cycle. 已点明主题。
57. B。判断题。读完第2段，不难发现水返回空中的方式有3种：第1种是太阳蒸发地面上的水使之变成水蒸气返回空中；第2种是树和植物释放出的水蒸气；第3种是人和动物呼出的水蒸气。
58. A。判断题。根据最后一句话The air is more moist(潮湿) in the tropics(热带) than in the cold polar regions 可知答案。
59. C细节理解题。根据“The Great Wall can be called“great”mostly because of its amazing length.”可知。
60. C文章介绍，不管是不了解长城的人还是了解它的人都在对长城进行无意识的破坏。

62. A根据“Those who destroyed and are destroying the Great Wall know its name，but are not clear about its cultural meaning.”可知。
63. C本题是一道细节理解题，从文中前两句话，就可以看出basenji首先是在the Central Africa 发现的。

One possible version
Sample 1: Thomas Edison
Born in American, Thomas Edison was a great scientist and inventor. He once thought to be a boy who was not worth educating. In fact, he was a man full of imagination.
I admire Edison a lot because of his great contribution to the world. He had more than 1000 inventions. In his little time, he was always eager to know how things worked, which helped him to earn the nickname “the Wizard of Meio Park”. He was also so diligent that he worked day and night. And this explained why he had so many inventions.
What impresses me most is his famous saying, “genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration”. Probably I cannot be an Edison myself, but I can be a hardworking learner. From him, I realize the secret to success is not when and where you were born, but what you are doing and how you do it in your life.
Sample 2: Helen Keller
Every time I read “…if I had the power of sight for three days;, I cannot help being moved by its author Helen Keller, an ordinary but great American woman.
I admire Helen because she is optimistic about life. She became deaf and blind when she was 19 months old. Since then she lived in a world of darkness and silence, and communication seemed only a dream for her. But she never gave up and struggled to lead an active life. Under the guidance of her teacher, Ms. Sullivan, Helen learned to read and write, and became a famous writer. For a disabled person like her, this was really a wonder.
Helen has set an excellent example to all of us. Her story tells us that we should value what we have and try our best to overcome any difficulty in life.
Sample 3: William Shakespeare
Do you know Hamlet Have you read the Merchant of Venice These two great works are both written by William Shakespeare, my favorite English writer and the man of all ages!
Shakespeare, a son from a poor family, a man of little education, wrote plays and poems that are read all over the world. I like him because his comedies and tragedies bring me into a fantastic world; I love him because his poems let me enjoy the beauty of the English language; I admire him because his keen sights set me thinking and teach me how to lead a meaningful life!
Since “life is a stage”, we are actually all actors and actresses. On this stage, everyone has his own role to play, and I will try my best to play my role well.

A
Weather changes when the temperature and the amount of water in the atmosphere change. We can see and feel water coming from the atmosphere when we have rain. But the water must somehow get back to the atmosphere. Meteorologists call this the water cycle.
There are many stages in the water cycle. Rain falls when water vapor in clouds condenses(凝结). Drops of water form and fall to the ground. The water soaks into the ground and feeds streams and rivers. A lot of rain falls into the sea. The heat of the sun evaporates some of the water in the ground and in the rivers, lakes, and the sea. It changes the liquid water into water vapor. The vapor rises onto the air. Water vapor is normally invisible. On a very damp or humid day, however, you can sometimes see water vapor rising from a puddle(水坑)or pond in a mist above the water. Water vapor also gets into the air from living things. Trees and other plants take in water through their roots and give off water vapor from their leaves. People and land animals drink water and breathe out water vapor. In all these ways the water returns to the air. There it gathers to form clouds and condenses to form rain. The rain falls to earth, and the cycle starts again. It continues even if snow or hail(冰雹)fall instead because both eventually melt to form water. The amount of water vapor in the air depends on the temperature. The air is moister in the tropics than in the cold polar regions.
56. What is the main idea of the passage _______________
A. Water cycle. B. Water vapor.
C. How rain forms. D. Water, vapor, rain.
57. How many ways of the water returning to the air are discussed in the text _______________
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
58. From the passage we get to know_______________.
A. there is more water vapor in the air in the tropics than in cold polar regions
B. there is more water vapor in the air in cold polar region than in the tropics
C. it gets more rain in the tropics than in cold polar regions because there is less vapor
D. the amount of water vapor in the air depends on how often it rains
B
No one can believe that the over 6 300-kilometer long Great Wall might disappear some day. Believe it or not, the Great Wall is being destroyed by people. Less than 20 percent of the Great Wall built in the Ming Dynasty is still perfect, but about 80 percent is in danger. The Great Wall can be called “great” mostly because of its amazing length. But we should realize that the length was made up of one brick at a time. If we do nothing to save the Great Wall, it will become a series of separate wasteland rather than a historic site.
The Great Wall is actually a series of walls built and rebuilt by different dynasties over the past 2 000 years. It began in the rule of China’s first emperor, Qin Shihuang of the Qin Dynasty (221 BC～206 BC),and lasted into the Ming Dynasty. The parts built before the Ming Dynasty have nearly disappeared. People are familiar with sections such as Badaling in Beijing and Jiayuguan Pass in Gansu because they have been open to tourists for many years. But those sections far away from the public eyes have been almost forgotten.
Few local people knew the 3-meter-high walls made of earth and stones beside them are part of the Great Wall. The lack of knowledge is considered as one of the main reasons behind human.
The bricks on the Great Wall are carried off by countryside people to build their houses, sheep corral(畜栏) and pigsties(猪圈).Some were taken away to build roads. Bricks carved with people’s names are put away as remembrance. Rubbish is spread over the battlements(城垛).The bricks can be sold for 15 Yuan per tractor load. Those who destroyed and are destroying the Great Wall know its name, but are not clear about its cultural meaning. It will take a long time to let them know this. The local farmers not only carried off the body of the Wall but dug out the entire base.
It is necessary to protect the Great Wall. First of all, the officials should be aware of the importance of the Great Wall. Young Chinese should know more about the nation’s great civilization and learn to love it.
59.The main reason for which the Great Wall can be called “great” is_______________.
A. it was made by brick B. it was very wide
C. it was very long D. it had a long history
60. Why does the author say the Great Wall might disappear _______________
A. It is useless from now on. B. It will be replaced by a new one.
C. Some parts of it are being destroyed. D. It’s too old to be used again.
61.The underlined part “those sections far away from the public eyes” refers to the parts of the Great Wall_______________.
A. that are too difficult to understand B. nobody can watch
C. that are too far to been seen D. that are not well known to the public
62. What’s the main reason of the Great Wall’s being destroyed
A. The local people are short of culture knowledge.
B. The local people need bricks and stones to build houses.
C. The local people think that the Great Wall is not important.
D. The local people are against the government.
C
The basenji is a central African hunting dog. It comes from a country called Chad, which is north of the Central African Republic. The basenji was well-known as the “silent dog” because for centuries no basenjis had ever been known to bark. Then at a dog show in London in 1953,a basenji actually barked.
As well as being clever, basenjis are known for their natural courage and are still popular hunting dogs in Africa. But in America people keep them mainly because they are gentle and full of fun. The basenji has an unusual habit：it washes itself all over like a cat. It is a middle-sized dog,16 or 17 inches high from the shoulder. It weighs about 20 pounds. A basenji’s coat is short and silky. It may be brown, white, or gold, or a mixture of these three colors.
63.Basenjis were first found_______________.
A. in Africa, Europe and America B. in both Africa and America
C. in central Africa D. in North Africa
64.What made Basenjis so special？_______________
A. They were born quiet dogs.
B. They were a true friend of man.
C. One of them barked at a dog show in London.
D. They were funny enough to make people laugh.
65.Americans like basenjis because they are_______________.
A. quiet B. pretty C. clean D. pleasant
66.In what way are basenjis like cats？_______________
A. They make gentle sounds instead of barking.

The West began to take more notice of the East. The fifth volume of an enormous work reassessing the Chinese contribution to science and technology is to be published next year. The first volume, which was published twenty years ago, set the tone for the whole work. In it, evidence was given to show that many inventions which, until then, western historians had claimed for Europe, were made first in China. The attempt to rewrite the intellectual history of the world was not received without protest by some reputable historians. However, the evidence that has been presented so far in the first four volumes has persuaded many historians who were skeptical at first. China’s invention of paper, printing, the magnetic compass and gunpowder has never been disputed, but this new history has added advanced bridge design, mechanical clocks, paddle boats and many other inventions to the list.
In the four volumes published so far no attempt has been made to explain why China has not kept up with the West in science and technology in modern times. It is probable that the answer is to be found in the social and economic history of China, where a stable society under a relatively kind regime(政权) of scholar-gentry(贵族) contrasts with the potentially revolutionary and dynamic(有活力的) society of the West at the end of the Middle Ages. In recent years, the Chinese government has been making every effort to catch up with the West again, and there is little doubt that the gap is being reduced year by year. But will China avoid the West’s mistakes
68. The first volume was published_______________.
A. ten years ago B. last year C. five years ago D. twenty years ago
69.In Line 7,the word “skeptical” means _______________.
A. doubtful B. worried C. sad D. angry
70. Which of the following is not mentioned in the passage
A. Gunpowder. B. Needle. C. Paddle boats. D. Bridge design.
71. The best title for this passage is_______________.
A. China’s Inventions
B. Comparisons between the East and the West
C. China Is Catching Up
D. Situations in China

Japanese history has been shaped to an important degree by the influence of geographic location. It is somewhat like the British Isles at the other and of the Eurasian landmass. The Japanese islands, however, are more independent than the British Isles;115 miles separate them from the mainland, compared with the 21-mile width of the English Channel. Thus before their defeat by the USA, the Japanese has been seriously threatened by foreign invasion only in the thirteenth century. The Japanese, therefore, have been close enough to the mainland to benefit from the great Chinese civilization, but distant enough to be able to choose and refuse as they wished. In fact the Japanese have been unusually quick and clever in what they have brought in from abroad. Although widely regarded as a nation of borrowers they have independently developed, because of their independence, their own culture.
72.Which of the following shows the correct geographic location of the British Isles, Japan and the Eurasian landmass
E—the Eurasian; B—the British Isles; J—Japan
73.Why do we say the Japanese are borrowers _______________
A. Because they are easily influenced by their neighbors.
B. Because the Japanese islands are more independent.
C. Because they were defeated by the USA.
D. Because they are good at bringing in everything they need from abroad.
74. Japan develops her own culture in order to_______________.
A. make other developments
B. be quicker and cleverer to bring in what she wants to
C. keep independent
D. be dependent
75. Japanese history has been shaped by the influence of geographic location because_______________.
A. Japan is too far from the mainland to the conquered
B. Japan is so near to the mainland that she can easily learn everything there
C. Japan is near enough to be helped and far enough to be independent
D. China helped Japan a lot and let her choose what she liked and give up what she disliked

Learning to save money when you're young is an important lesson. All good lessons arid habits begin early, and saving is a skill that everyone needs. Many people—adults included—do not have a good sense of saving for the long run.
I have been lucky to learn this lesson early because I have had a grass-cutting business since I was 10 years old. Of the money I make I spend about 10 percent and save the other 90.
Making sure you save and don't spend too much is a good way to build up wealth. I have put my earnings in a bank. Many teens I know spend all the money they earn so it never has a chance to grow. Young people should realize that their teenage years are a great time to begin saving.
At high school many parents pay for almost everything, so your expenses can be small. If you have a lob, you should have fun with some of the money. But you should also save some so that it will grow. Then you can begin planning for your future. When you spend money, you not only lose that money, but also lose the interest you could have earned by saving it.
After high school, college is expensive and then "real" life begins, with expenses such as food and rent. If you can hold onto a good percentage of the money you earn as a teen, going to college and buying a house will be much easier.________________, the more time the money has to grow. If you are in your thirties without any savings, you will always have to struggle. The earlier you begin saving, the easier it is to create a nest egg.
Later in life it can be hard to start saving because general costs of living are more expensive and you may only have enough to pay your bills. If you want to buy a house and have a family, you need money to start with, which comes from saving.
Many say money cannot make you happy, and this is true. But money can help you to lead a secure life.
Saving early will mean you will have to work for fewer years when you are older. It will also allow you to spend time doing the things that you want to do.
In addition to this, it will mean you can live the way you want to without worrying.
76. What’s the best title of the passage
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
77. Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one
As long as you save early, you’ll do less work to live well at your old age.

24. C为了避免重复，连词as和than后面的比较状语从句虽然可以作某些省略，但比较成分不能省略，否则会引起误解。如这里比较的是pressure，所以后面要用that来代替这个名词。如果代替的是复数名词，则用those。

26. C resign 辞职；treat 对待；retire 退休。

32. B the few pages of which...是带介词的定语从句，表示“这本书有几页……”。
33. B第一个从句是同位语从句，应用 why引导，因为why从句是说明 question的内容的。第二个空选用which的主要原因是这是一个非限定性定语从句。
34. A
35. B第二个空不能填who，因为如果将farmers作为先行词，这与从句中的谓语has的数不一致。which在此处是代替前面的整个句子。
36.B 前后照应逻辑推理词义比较。小男孩邀请妈妈去参加学校的第一次家长会。从后文不难看出，小男孩不想要他妈妈去，因为他妈妈脸上有疤痕，可他妈妈却愿意去，这事使得小男孩不快乐(enjoyment)，不激动(excitement)，不吃惊(surprise)，而是很失望(disappointment)，因为这样会让他尴尬，让他蒙羞。
37. A 语法规则。此句考查过去将来时态(would)。
38. D 前后照应词义比较。这将是第一次他妈妈与老师和同学会面(meet)。notice(注意到)，greet(问候，打招呼)，accept(认可，接受)都应该发生在meet动作之后，meet是先决起始动作。前文的his school’s first teacher-parent meeting已有所暗示。
39. B 常识运用前后照应词义比较。小男孩因为他妈妈的外表—脸上有块疤痕—而感到羞愧(ashamed)，而不是恶心(sick)，害怕(afraid)，疲惫(tired)。后文的the little boy was still embarrassed (尴尬) and hid himself from everyone有所暗示。

43.D 词义比较逻辑推理。虽然(in spite of)妈妈脸上有疤痕，但这疤痕却掩饰不住妈妈的美丽和亲切。in sight of临近, 可被...望见；by means of通过，用，借助于；by way of 经由, 作为, 为了；in spite of虽然，尽管…仍，相当于though she had the scar on her face。
44.A 逻辑推理词义比较。但小男孩仍然感到尴尬难堪，而把自己藏(hide)起来，以免被大家看见。hide隐藏，掩饰，强调不被他人看见、发现；protect保护，强调不被他人伤害；separate分开, 隔离，使之不聚在一起；escape逃避, 避免，强调不被他人逮住而免去责任。
45.C 词义比较逻辑推理常识运用。 他真的躲避了起来，却听到(hear)了妈妈和老师之间的一段对话。注意within(在……的范围内, 不超出……的范围)的意义。hear是先决起始动作，先有了hear，而后才会有understand(明白，了解)、learn(获悉)和remind(提醒，使想起)。

51.D 词义比较逻辑推理前后照应。 妈妈她用不着指着(point)，擦揩(wipe)脸面，老师能够看得到，它也用不着展示(show)，而是摸了摸(touch)她烧坏的右脸，有所感触。注意与后句的联系。
52.B 词义比较逻辑推理。这个疤痕很丑(ugly)，很严重(serious)，很恐怖(frightening)，这都没有关系，问题是它会持久(lasting)而再也抹不去。

One possible version
Sample 1: Thomas Edison
Born in American, Thomas Edison was a great scientist and inventor. He once thought to be a boy who was not worth educating. In fact, he was a man full of imagination.
I admire Edison a lot because of his great contribution to the world. He had more than 1000 inventions. In his little time, he was always eager to know how things worked, which helped him to earn the nickname “the Wizard of Meio Park”. He was also so diligent that he worked day and night. And this explained why he had so many inventions.
What impresses me most is his famous saying, “genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration”. Probably I cannot be an Edison myself, but I can be a hardworking learner. From him, I realize the secret to success is not when and where you were born, but what you are doing and how you do it in your life.
Sample 2: Helen Keller
Every time I read “…if I had the power of sight for three days;, I cannot help being moved by its author Helen Keller, an ordinary but great American woman.
I admire Helen because she is optimistic about life. She became deaf and blind when she was 19 months old. Since then she lived in a world of darkness and silence, and communication seemed only a dream for her. But she never gave up and struggled to lead an active life. Under the guidance of her teacher, Ms. Sullivan, Helen learned to read and write, and became a famous writer. For a disabled person like her, this was really a wonder.
Helen has set an excellent example to all of us. Her story tells us that we should value what we have and try our best to overcome any difficulty in life.
Sample 3: William Shakespeare
Do you know Hamlet Have you read the Merchant of Venice These two great works are both written by William Shakespeare, my favorite English writer and the man of all ages!
Shakespeare, a son from a poor family, a man of little education, wrote plays and poems that are read all over the world. I like him because his comedies and tragedies bring me into a fantastic world; I love him because his poems let me enjoy the beauty of the English language; I admire him because his keen sights set me thinking and teach me how to lead a meaningful life!
Since “life is a stage”, we are actually all actors and actresses. On this stage, everyone has his own role to play, and I will try my best to play my role well.
