A
For many people in the US，sports are not just for fun. They’re almost a “religion”. Thousands of sports fans buy expensive tickets to watch their favorite teams and athletes play in person. Other fans watch the games at home, sticking to their TV sets, never missing a game. Many a wife becomes a “sports widow” during her husband's favorite season. Americans' devotion to sports has created a new class of wealthy people: professional athletes. Sports stars often receive million dollar salaries. Some even make big money by appearing in advertisements for soft drinks, shoes and almost everything.
Sports are an important part of American culture. Throughout their school life, Americans learn to play many sports. Many students try out for the school teams. Athletic events at universities attract scores of fans and benefit the whole community. Many people also enjoy non competitive activities, like hiking, cycling, horseback riding, camping or hunting.
Many sports were imported from other countries. Europeans brought tennis, golf, bowling and boxing to America. Football and baseball came from other Old World games. Only basketball has a truly American origin. Americans export sports fever as well. Satellites broadcast games to sports fans around the globe. NBA is a good example. The names of American superstars like basketball great Michael Jordan have become household words all over the world.

(Mr. Jones, the owner of a farm, was one day driven out of the farm by all the animals he raised. The animals were excited to be free and independent. More important, they were masters of their own and, of course, their farm. The animals made seven rules of their own and Snowball painted them on the wall.)
THE SEVEN COMMANDMENTS
⑴Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy.
⑵Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend.
⑶No animal shall wear clothes.
⑷No animal shall sleep in a bed.
⑸No animal shall drink alcohol.
⑹No animal shall kill any other animal.
⑺All animals are equal.
It was very neatly written, and except that “friend” was written “freind” and one “S” was the wrong way round, the spelling was correct all the way through. Snowball read it aloud for the benefit of the others. All the animals nodded in complete agreement, and the cleverer ones at once began to learn the commandments by heart.
“Now, comrades,” cried Snowball, throwing down the paintbrush, “to the hayfield！Let us make it a point of honor to get in the harvest more quickly than Jones and his men could do.”
But at this moment the three cows, who had seemed uneasy for some time past, let out a loud lowing. They had not been milked for twenty-four hours, and their udders were almost bursting. After a little thought, the pigs sent for buckets and milked the cows fairly successfully, their trotters(蹄子)being well adapted to this task. Soon there were five buckets of frothing creamy milk at which many of the animals looked with considerable interest.
“What is going to happen to all that milk？”said someone.
“Jones used sometimes to mix some of it in our food,” said one of the hens.
“Never mind the milk, comrades！”cried Napoleon, placing himself in front of the buckets. “That will be attended to. The harvest is more rade Snowball will lead the way. I shall follow in a few minutes. Forward, comrades！The hay is waiting.”
So the animals trooped down to the hayfield to begin the harvest, and when they came back in the evening it was noticed that the milk had disappeared.
60.Who is the leader of the animals _____________
A. Snowball. B. Jones. C. Napoleon. D. Cows.
61.When does the story take place _____________
A. In spring. B. In summer. C. In fall. D. In winter.
62.What can we infer from the story _____________
A. The animals are having a revolution. B. The animals are doing a play.
C. The animals don't think they are equal. D. The animals will live a harmonious life.
63.Who is indicated as the animals' enemy _____________
A. The chicken. B. The human being. C. The cow. D. The pig.
C
As the sound of footsteps behind her grew louder, she quickened her pace. She didn't want to turn around as the memory of that morning's newspaper headline made her afraid of what she would see：“City Killer Claims Fourth Victim”.
“Why did I stop for a few drinks in the bar after work？” she thought to herself. Now it was dark and the streets deserted. She was alone and a sitting duck.
She felt as if she was walking in the rain. Her clothes were damp from nervous sweat and as each short hot breath hit the night air, it turned to steam, coating her glasses in a thin film so all she saw seemed covered in fog.
The footsteps were closer now. She needed to get off this street. Her eyes began a useless search for an open store or lighted window. Passing a small lane she looked through, for a possible escape route. But the lane was a dead end and she laughed to herself at the irony.
The sound of a car behind her turning onto the street interrupted her self-pity. Escape was at hand. But as she was about to throw herself onto the road and shout for the car to stop, the car's headlights cast a shadow that paralyzed her with terror.
It was the footsteps' owner. The figure was huge and in its raised arm it held what looked like a lead pipe, no doubt the one that was about to claim victim number five.
The shadow dissolved as the car passed by and disappeared into the distance. She felt a hand on her shoulder. It was all happening as if in slow-motion. She was waiting for her life to flash before her eyes like all those novels said it would-but it didn’t. The only thing she thought of was her dear husband. She recalled phoning him from work that very afternoon and joking about, of all things, the city killer. It was a night full of ironies.
There was a voice talking to her now but she was lost in thoughts of her fate and didn't respond. The hand then began turning her around. It was surprisingly gentle given what was about to come. She allowed it to guide her without resistance.
She looked up. She recognized the face, but she didn't know from where. Its mouth was still talking to her but she couldn't understand. Then she remembered. The face belonged to the foreign looking man who had served her at the bar. She looked down to his hand and saw in it not a lead pipe but a rolled up copy of a work report she had been correcting in the bar as she drank.
His words suddenly started to register in her brain and she could hear him. “Miss, Miss. Are you OK You left this in the bar and it looked important so I thought I'd better give it to you.”
64.The woman was feeling nervous because _____________.
A. she had left her report in the bar
B. there was a killer in the city
C. she was being followed by someone
D. the streets were dark and empty
65. The underlined expression “a sitting duck” (in Paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to “_____________”.
A. an easy target B. a frightened person
C. a foolish animal D. a still position
66.Why did the woman laugh when she looked into the lane _____________
A. She was excited because she thought it may be a way to escape.
B. She felt bitter because she had no chance to escape.
C. She was becoming more and more nervous.
D. She realized that she was behaving foolishly.
67.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage _____________
A. It was raining when she left the bar.
B. The woman had felt nervous about the city killer for days.
C. The temperature was very low that evening.
D. The woman was behaving unreasonably.
D
I used to watch her from my kitchen window. She seemed so small as she muscled her way through the crowd of boys on the playground. The school was across the street from our home and I would often watch the kids as they played during break. I remember the first day I saw her playing basketball. I watched in wonder as she ran circles around the other kids. She managed to shoot jump shots just over their heads and into the net. The boys always tried to stop her but no one could. I began to notice her at other times, basketball in hand, playing alone.
One day I asked her why she practiced so much. Without a moment of hesitation she said, “I want to go to college. The only way I can go is to get a scholarship. I am going to play college basketball. I want to be the best. My Daddy told me if the dream is big enough, the facts don't count.” Well, I had to give it to her-she was determined. I watched her through those junior high years and into high school. Every week, she led her school team to victory.
One day in her senior year, I saw her sitting in the grass, head in her arms. I walked across the street and sat down in the cool grass beside her. Quietly I asked what was wrong. “Oh, nothing” came a soft reply, “I am just too short.” The coach told her that at 5’5” she would probably never get to play for a top ranked team-much less offered a scholarship-so she should stop dreaming about college. She was heartbroken and I felt my own throat tighten as I sensed her disappointment. I asked her if she had talked to her dad about it yet. She told me that her father said those coaches were wrong. They just did not understand the power of a dream. He told her that if she truly wanted a scholarship and that nothing could stop her except one thing-her own attitude.
The next year, as she and her team went to the Northern California Championship game, she was offered a scholarship and on the college team. She was going to get the college education that she had dreamed of.
68.The author was probably the girl's ________.
A. neighbor B. friend C. mother D. teacher
69. Why was the girl heartbroken _____________
A. She was considered too short to be a top player.
B. Her coach stopped her training because of her height.
C. She couldn't be on a college basketball team.
D. She wouldn't be admitted by an ideal college.
70.We can learn from the passage that _____________.
A. her family wouldn't like to pay her college fee
B. her father forced her to play basketball in college
C. being a top basketball player can win her a scholarship for college
D. she wouldn't like to turn to her father for help when in difficulty
71. Which word can best describe her father _____________
A. Encouraging. B. Optimistic. C. Stubborn. D. Cruel.
E
People fell in love with Elizabeth Taylor in 1944, when she starred in National Velvet—the story of Velvet Brown, a young girl who won first place in a famous horse race. At first, the producers of the movie told Taylor that she was too small to play the part of Velvet. However, they waited for her for a few months as she exercised and trained and added three inches to her height in four months！Her acting in National Velvet is still considered the best as a child actress.
Elizabeth Taylor was born in London in 1932.Her parents, both Americans, had moved there for business reasons. When World War Ⅱ started, the Taylors moved to Beverly Hills, California, and there Elizabeth Taylor started acting in movies. After her success as a child star, Taylor had no trouble moving into adult(成人) roles and won twice for Best Actress: Butterfield 8(1960) and Who's Afraid of Virginta Woolf？(1966).
Taylor's fame(名声)and popularity gave her a lot of power with the movie industry, so she was able to demand very high pay for her movies. In 1963, she received $1 million for her part in Cleopatra-the highest pay received by any star up to that time.
Elizabeth Taylor is a legend of our time. Like Velvet Brown in National Velvet, she has been lucky—she has beauty, fame and wealth. But she is also a hard worker. Taylor seldom acts in movies now. Instead, she puts her time and effort into her business, and into helping others. Several years ago, she founded an organization that has raised more than $ 40 million for research and education.
72.The producers didn't let Taylor play the part of Velvet at first because they thought she _____________.
A. was small in size B. was too young
C. did not play well enough D. did not show much interest
73.What Elizabeth Taylor and Velvet Brown had in common was that they were both __________.
A. popular all their lives B. famous actresses
C. successful when very young D. rich and kind hearted
74.Taylor first became Best Actress at the age of_____________.
A.12 B.28 C.31 D.34
75.In her later life, Elizabeth Taylor devotes herself to _____________.
A. doing business and helping others B. turning herself into a legend
C. collecting money for the poor D. going about research and education work

第一节 阅读表达（共5小题；每小题3分,满分15分）
In the United States, train transportation is unpopular compared with cars and airplanes. Most people like traveling by car or by air.
Officials of the United States Department of Transportation made a study in 2001. The study is about how many miles Americans traveled by different means of transportation. They only studied trips longer than 50 miles. The study showed that fifty-six percent of all miles were traveled in personal vehicle. Forty-one percent were traveled in an airplane. Two percent were traveled in a bus. And less than one percent of miles were traveled in a train.
Amtrak is the national provider of train transportation in the United States. In the past ten years, the number of its passengers has increased by eighteen percent. Although the number of passengers has increased, it is still very small now. In countries such as France, Germany, or Japan, more people use trains.
There are several reasons why many people __________________________.
Firstly, Americans love to drive their own cars. On highways, cars can travel as fast as trains. These highways connect all major cities in America. Secondly, many travelers like to be independent. When they use their own cars they can decide when to travel. Thirdly, many buses travel between major cities. Bus travel is less costly than train travel.
In a huge country like the United States, cities are far away from each other. In some cases, travel from one city to another by train may take more than a day. Airplanes can carry passengers over long distances much faster. People who do not want to spend long time traveling by train decide to fly. For these people saving time is the most important thing.
76.What is the best title of the passage (Please answer within 10 words.)

第二部分 英语知识运用（共两节,满分35分）
第一节 单项选择（共15小题；每小题1分,满分15分）
从A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
21.B adapt to“适应”；attend to“处理，照料”；agree to“同意”；admit to“许可进入”。根据句意“只有通过不断学习和改变我们的观念，我们才能适应环境变化”，可知选B。
22.B 句意：他们好像要我们拿三千美元的音乐厅使用费。charge sb. some money for sth.为某物向某人要多少钱。sth. cost sb. money某物花费某人多少钱。
23.B 从take a photo可知，是让对方“别动，保持静止状态”。calm“镇静的，冷静的”；still“静止不动的”；silent“沉默的”；quiet“安静的，寂静的”。
24.C 句意：公众对他发现华南虎的声明持怀疑态度，因为华南虎根本不可能在这样的地方生长。be skeptical about对……表示怀疑，由句意可知，答案为C项。
25.D 由答语中的“我不知道”可知，说话者对“汤姆发生了什么事”把握不大。“他可能迷路了”与问句时态一致，表示对过去发生事情的推测，故选D。
26.C predict“预言，预知，预告”；sign“签署，署名于”；indicate“显示，预示，标明”；resort“求助，诉诸”。B、D两项意思不对；predict的主语应是人，故选C。
27.D 句意：对现行法律将作变动。此处需要定语，A、B两项只能作谓语，所以排除；exist为不及物动词，不能用existed表示被动；existing“现存的，现行的”，符合题意。
28.C extinct“绝种的”；precious“珍贵的”；valuable“宝贵的”；common“普遍的，常见的”。根据句意“众所周知，如果没有自然保护区，很有可能更多的动物将要灭绝”，可知选C。
29.A claim to have done sth. 意为“声称曾经做过某事”。to have done是不定式的完成式，表示动作发生在谓语动词之前。句意：那个商人声称他毕业于哈佛大学，但实际上他从没上过大学。
30.A 句意：Jason没有支付账单，网络公司切断了他的网络连接。cut off切断，符合句意。cut back削减；cut short缩短；cut down削减，砍倒。
31.B trembling现在分词表示主动、进行，作伴随状语；frightened是形容词作状语，意为“感到害怕的”。
32.D 句意：警方长时间调查后凶手的身份仍然不得而知。fortune“运气”；reputation“名誉”；evidence“证据”。identity“身份”，符合句意。
33.B die out“灭绝，绝迹”；die down“变弱，渐渐停止，渐渐消失”；die back“枝叶枯萎”；die off“相继死去”。根据句意应选die down。
34.A 句意：我相信老师的解释可以阐明这个令人疑惑的问题。throw light on“阐明；帮助弄清楚”，符合题意。
35.B 句意：虽然它们尺寸、形状和金属不同，但它们在重量上完全一样。第一空of different sizes，shapes and metals为of + 名词结构；第二空in weight表示“在重量上”。
36.B event意为“事件”；story意为“故事、传说”；adventure意为“冒险”；description意为“描述”。根据全文可知，关于雪人这件事是一个故事或传说。
37.D 从下文中的“Climbers in the 1920s”可知，关于雪人的故事已有许多年(many years)，不可能是其他选项。
38.C know of意为“听说”，其他选项不符合文章意思。
39.A even在此用来加强语气，表示甚至有人抓到过雪人。
40.B though引导让步状语从句，表示尽管目前还没有证据证明这一问题。
41.D 根据文章意思，雪人的故事应当是还在继续流传。
42.D simply在此处作“仅仅、简单的”讲，此句意为“这不只是猴子或熊的脚印”。
43.C 根据前文中believed一词我们可知，Eric Shipton没有什么证据，只能是感觉到(feel)。
44.A 本题考查动词词义。exist意为“存在”；escape意为“逃脱”；return意为“归还，回来”。根据上下文很容易确定答案。
45.B 从文中的意思来看，后来人们只是发现“更多的(more)脚印。”
46.C 由“nothing more than”来暗示“脚印”也不过是普通动物的行迹而已。
47.B 结合上下文的意思，雪地里的足迹经过融化再冻会变“大”(large)。
48.D however此处表示转折，因为下文写的是一名俄罗斯科学家所持的不同观点。
49.B 后文讲到一名俄罗斯科学家认为雪人是与史前人类相联系，由此可见这位科学家认为雪人是“真的”(real)。
50.C 上文提到的没有证据证明这种情况又出现了，故用again。
51.B actually此处指“事实上”，这位俄罗斯科学家的观点仍然没有得到事实证明。
52.C 联系上下文可知，大部分人都不相信雪人的故事了，只是少数人“认真”(seriously)对待雪人的传说，take sth. seriously意为“认真对待某事”。
53.A 本题考查动词词组的意思。succeed in doing sth.意为“成功做某事”，符合句意。
54.D 根据文意，应为面临的“难题”(problem)。
55.A 从文章的意思看，雪人如果是“人”就应当住旅馆；如果是“动物”，就应该进“动物园”(zoo)。
56.C 因果判断题。由第一段中“Other fans watch the games at home, sticking to their TV sets, never missing a game. Many a wife becomes a “sports widow” during her husband's favorite season.”部分内容可知，她们的丈夫热衷于(看)体育(比赛)，导致她们在赛季成了“运动寡妇”。
57.D 细节判断题。D项在文中没有信息支持，所以答案选D。文章第一段最后一句提到了A项；文章第二段第三、四句提到了B项；文章第二段最后一句提到了C项。
58.B 推理判断题。文章第三段中“Americans export sports fever as well. Satellites broadcast games to sports fans around the globe.”说明体育文化影响着整个世界。
59.A 写作意图题。文章第一段前两句指出了体育在美国是多么重要，下文围绕其展开，由此可知A项最切题。
语篇解读：这是一则有趣的寓言故事：一个农场的主人Mr. Jones被他自己饲养的动物逐出了自己的农场……
60.C Napoleon指挥动物们在Snowball的带领下去割草，并说它自己随后便会赶到，并且当它说了“Forward，comrades！The hay is waiting.”这句话后，所有的动物都出发去割草了。由此可推知，它应该是动物们的头领。
61.C 根据文章中Snowball说的“‘Now, comrades,’...‘to the hayfield！Let us...get in the harvest more...’”可知，这是在秋天的收获季节。
62.A 根据文章内容可知，动物们将饲养他们的主人Mr. Jones赶走，自己做了农场的主人，并制定了七条规定。因此A项正确。
63.B 根据动物制定的七条规定可知，它们的敌人是人类。
语篇解读：一位女士下班后在酒吧里喝了点酒，回家时听到有人跟踪，想起晨报上看到的城市杀人狂连杀四人的标题，感觉十分害怕。结果是自己在酒吧喝酒时把一份工作简报忘在了酒吧，服务员尾随送给她而造成的一场虚惊。
64.C 细节理解题。由文章第一段的第一句话及第三段的前两句话可知那位女士感到紧张是因为有人跟踪她。
65.A 词义猜测题。根据上下文的语境：天已经黑了，街上空无一人，而她又独自一人，应该是城市杀人狂容易攻击的目标。
66.B 细节理解题。根据文章第四段最后一句话可以判断出：那位女士因为她看到那个巷子是个死胡同而令她无法逃生，所以她对原先想从巷子逃跑的想法苦笑了一下。
67.C 判断推理题。根据第三段第二句中“...each short hot breath hit the night air, it turned to steam”可以推断那天晚上天气很寒冷，温度很低。
68.C 与其说是判断推理题不如说是细节题。从第一段的our home的our(是指小女孩的和作者的)，就可以判断最有可能是mother了。另外从作者对小女孩关注的时间I watched her through those junior high years and into high school.和对小女孩球队获胜消息的频度Every week, she led her school team to victory.以及对小女孩的情感上She was heartbroken and I felt my own throat tighten as I sensed her disappointment.也不难作出判断。
69.A 细节理解题。在文章中的第三段可以找到答案。
70.C 细节理解题。从第三段“she would probably never get to play for a top ranked team-much less offered a scholarship”可以得知。
71.A 判断推理题。“My Daddy told me if the dream is big enough, the facts don't count.” her father said those coaches were wrong. They just did not understand the power of a dream. He told her that if she truly wanted a scholarship and that nothing could stop her except one thing—her own attitude.从他爸爸的回答中可以推出答案。
72.A 细节理解题。由第一段第二句“...she was too small to play the part of Velvet.”及下文又提到“Taylor长高了才出演”可知A正确。
73.C 细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“Like Velvet Brown in National Velvet...she has beauty, fame and wealth.”可知C项正确。Velvet年轻时就在一次著名的赛马中获得第一名，而Taylor在十多岁就因为饰演Velvet而获得成功。
74.B 推理判断题。由第二段可知Taylor 1932年出生，曾两次获得“最佳女演员”奖，而第一次是在1960年，由此可推知答案为B。
75.A 细节理解题。由文章最后一段第五句“...she puts her time and effort into her business, and into helping others.”可知A项正确。
76. Train transportation in the USA is less popular.
77. When they use their own cars they can decide when to travel.
78. don’t like to travel by train
79. Usually I’d like to travel by car, because I can decide when to travel.
If it is a long distance, I’ll travel by air, because it is faster.
80. 那些不想花长时间坐火车旅行的人就决定乘飞机,对这些人来说，节约时间是最重要的。
Spend more time on physical activities
It is reported that American students spend more than 70 minutes on physical activities per day. However, in China students have only 12 minutes for physical activities per day.
Why do the Chinese students spend so little time on physical activities From the pie chart above we can see, 40% of their spare time is spent doing their homework; 25% of it is spent watching TV; 20% is spent playing computer games or chatting online. Only 15% of their time is used to do some physical activities. It is obvious that most of their spare time is spent on homework, computer games and TV shows.
In my opinion, students should spend more spare time on physical activities, which are beneficial to their growth and health. Both the education departments and parents should encourage students to set aside more time for physical activities.

For many people in the US，sports are not just for fun. They’re almost a “religion”. Thousands of sports fans buy expensive tickets to watch their favorite teams and athletes play in person. Other fans watch the games at home, sticking to their TV sets, never missing a game. Many a wife becomes a “sports widow” during her husband's favorite season. Americans' devotion to sports has created a new class of wealthy people: professional athletes. Sports stars often receive million dollar salaries. Some even make big money by appearing in advertisements for soft drinks, shoes and almost everything.
Sports are an important part of American culture. Throughout their school life, Americans learn to play many sports. Many students try out for the school teams. Athletic events at universities attract scores of fans and benefit the whole community. Many people also enjoy non competitive activities, like hiking, cycling, horseback riding, camping or hunting.
Many sports were imported from other countries. Europeans brought tennis, golf, bowling and boxing to America. Football and baseball came from other Old World games. Only basketball has a truly American origin. Americans export sports fever as well. Satellites broadcast games to sports fans around the globe. NBA is a good example. The names of American superstars like basketball great Michael Jordan have become household words all over the world.

(Mr. Jones, the owner of a farm, was one day driven out of the farm by all the animals he raised. The animals were excited to be free and independent. More important, they were masters of their own and, of course, their farm. The animals made seven rules of their own and Snowball painted them on the wall.)
THE SEVEN COMMANDMENTS
⑴Whatever goes upon two legs is an enemy.
⑵Whatever goes upon four legs, or has wings, is a friend.
⑶No animal shall wear clothes.
⑷No animal shall sleep in a bed.
⑸No animal shall drink alcohol.
⑹No animal shall kill any other animal.
⑺All animals are equal.
It was very neatly written, and except that “friend” was written “freind” and one “S” was the wrong way round, the spelling was correct all the way through. Snowball read it aloud for the benefit of the others. All the animals nodded in complete agreement, and the cleverer ones at once began to learn the commandments by heart.
“Now, comrades,” cried Snowball, throwing down the paintbrush, “to the hayfield！Let us make it a point of honor to get in the harvest more quickly than Jones and his men could do.”
But at this moment the three cows, who had seemed uneasy for some time past, let out a loud lowing. They had not been milked for twenty-four hours, and their udders were almost bursting. After a little thought, the pigs sent for buckets and milked the cows fairly successfully, their trotters(蹄子)being well adapted to this task. Soon there were five buckets of frothing creamy milk at which many of the animals looked with considerable interest.
“What is going to happen to all that milk？”said someone.
“Jones used sometimes to mix some of it in our food,” said one of the hens.
“Never mind the milk, comrades！”cried Napoleon, placing himself in front of the buckets. “That will be attended to. The harvest is more rade Snowball will lead the way. I shall follow in a few minutes. Forward, comrades！The hay is waiting.”
So the animals trooped down to the hayfield to begin the harvest, and when they came back in the evening it was noticed that the milk had disappeared.
60.Who is the leader of the animals _____________
A. Snowball. B. Jones. C. Napoleon. D. Cows.
61.When does the story take place _____________
A. In spring. B. In summer. C. In fall. D. In winter.
62.What can we infer from the story _____________
A. The animals are having a revolution. B. The animals are doing a play.
C. The animals don't think they are equal. D. The animals will live a harmonious life.
63.Who is indicated as the animals' enemy _____________
A. The chicken. B. The human being. C. The cow. D. The pig.

As the sound of footsteps behind her grew louder, she quickened her pace. She didn't want to turn around as the memory of that morning's newspaper headline made her afraid of what she would see：“City Killer Claims Fourth Victim”.
“Why did I stop for a few drinks in the bar after work？” she thought to herself. Now it was dark and the streets deserted. She was alone and a sitting duck.
She felt as if she was walking in the rain. Her clothes were damp from nervous sweat and as each short hot breath hit the night air, it turned to steam, coating her glasses in a thin film so all she saw seemed covered in fog.
The footsteps were closer now. She needed to get off this street. Her eyes began a useless search for an open store or lighted window. Passing a small lane she looked through, for a possible escape route. But the lane was a dead end and she laughed to herself at the irony.
The sound of a car behind her turning onto the street interrupted her self-pity. Escape was at hand. But as she was about to throw herself onto the road and shout for the car to stop, the car's headlights cast a shadow that paralyzed her with terror.
It was the footsteps' owner. The figure was huge and in its raised arm it held what looked like a lead pipe, no doubt the one that was about to claim victim number five.
The shadow dissolved as the car passed by and disappeared into the distance. She felt a hand on her shoulder. It was all happening as if in slow-motion. She was waiting for her life to flash before her eyes like all those novels said it would-but it didn’t. The only thing she thought of was her dear husband. She recalled phoning him from work that very afternoon and joking about, of all things, the city killer. It was a night full of ironies.
There was a voice talking to her now but she was lost in thoughts of her fate and didn't respond. The hand then began turning her around. It was surprisingly gentle given what was about to come. She allowed it to guide her without resistance.
She looked up. She recognized the face, but she didn't know from where. Its mouth was still talking to her but she couldn't understand. Then she remembered. The face belonged to the foreign looking man who had served her at the bar. She looked down to his hand and saw in it not a lead pipe but a rolled up copy of a work report she had been correcting in the bar as she drank.
His words suddenly started to register in her brain and she could hear him. “Miss, Miss. Are you OK You left this in the bar and it looked important so I thought I'd better give it to you.”
64.The woman was feeling nervous because _____________.
A. she had left her report in the bar
B. there was a killer in the city
C. she was being followed by someone
D. the streets were dark and empty
65. The underlined expression “a sitting duck” (in Paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to “_____________”.
A. an easy target B. a frightened person
C. a foolish animal D. a still position
66.Why did the woman laugh when she looked into the lane _____________
A. She was excited because she thought it may be a way to escape.
B. She felt bitter because she had no chance to escape.
C. She was becoming more and more nervous.
D. She realized that she was behaving foolishly.
67.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage _____________
A. It was raining when she left the bar.
B. The woman had felt nervous about the city killer for days.
C. The temperature was very low that evening.
D. The woman was behaving unreasonably.
D
I used to watch her from my kitchen window. She seemed so small as she muscled her way through the crowd of boys on the playground. The school was across the street from our home and I would often watch the kids as they played during break. I remember the first day I saw her playing basketball. I watched in wonder as she ran circles around the other kids. She managed to shoot jump shots just over their heads and into the net. The boys always tried to stop her but no one could. I began to notice her at other times, basketball in hand, playing alone.
One day I asked her why she practiced so much. Without a moment of hesitation she said, “I want to go to college. The only way I can go is to get a scholarship. I am going to play college basketball. I want to be the best. My Daddy told me if the dream is big enough, the facts don't count.” Well, I had to give it to her-she was determined. I watched her through those junior high years and into high school. Every week, she led her school team to victory.
One day in her senior year, I saw her sitting in the grass, head in her arms. I walked across the street and sat down in the cool grass beside her. Quietly I asked what was wrong. “Oh, nothing” came a soft reply, “I am just too short.” The coach told her that at 5’5” she would probably never get to play for a top ranked team-much less offered a scholarship-so she should stop dreaming about college. She was heartbroken and I felt my own throat tighten as I sensed her disappointment. I asked her if she had talked to her dad about it yet. She told me that her father said those coaches were wrong. They just did not understand the power of a dream. He told her that if she truly wanted a scholarship and that nothing could stop her except one thing-her own attitude.
The next year, as she and her team went to the Northern California Championship game, she was offered a scholarship and on the college team. She was going to get the college education that she had dreamed of.
68.The author was probably the girl's ________.
A. neighbor B. friend C. mother D. teacher
69. Why was the girl heartbroken _____________
A. She was considered too short to be a top player.
B. Her coach stopped her training because of her height.
C. She couldn't be on a college basketball team.
D. She wouldn't be admitted by an ideal college.
70.We can learn from the passage that _____________.
A. her family wouldn't like to pay her college fee
B. her father forced her to play basketball in college
C. being a top basketball player can win her a scholarship for college
D. she wouldn't like to turn to her father for help when in difficulty
71. Which word can best describe her father _____________
A. Encouraging. B. Optimistic. C. Stubborn. D. Cruel.
E
People fell in love with Elizabeth Taylor in 1944, when she starred in National Velvet—the story of Velvet Brown, a young girl who won first place in a famous horse race. At first, the producers of the movie told Taylor that she was too small to play the part of Velvet. However, they waited for her for a few months as she exercised and trained and added three inches to her height in four months！Her acting in National Velvet is still considered the best as a child actress.
Elizabeth Taylor was born in London in 1932.Her parents, both Americans, had moved there for business reasons. When World War Ⅱ started, the Taylors moved to Beverly Hills, California, and there Elizabeth Taylor started acting in movies. After her success as a child star, Taylor had no trouble moving into adult(成人) roles and won twice for Best Actress: Butterfield 8(1960) and Who's Afraid of Virginta Woolf？(1966).
Taylor's fame(名声)and popularity gave her a lot of power with the movie industry, so she was able to demand very high pay for her movies. In 1963, she received $1 million for her part in Cleopatra-the highest pay received by any star up to that time.
Elizabeth Taylor is a legend of our time. Like Velvet Brown in National Velvet, she has been lucky—she has beauty, fame and wealth. But she is also a hard worker. Taylor seldom acts in movies now. Instead, she puts her time and effort into her business, and into helping others. Several years ago, she founded an organization that has raised more than $ 40 million for research and education.
72.The producers didn't let Taylor play the part of Velvet at first because they thought she _____________.
A. was small in size B. was too young
C. did not play well enough D. did not show much interest
73.What Elizabeth Taylor and Velvet Brown had in common was that they were both __________.
A. popular all their lives B. famous actresses
C. successful when very young D. rich and kind hearted
74.Taylor first became Best Actress at the age of_____________.
A.12 B.28 C.31 D.34
75.In her later life, Elizabeth Taylor devotes herself to _____________.
A. doing business and helping others B. turning herself into a legend
C. collecting money for the poor D. going about research and education work

In the United States, train transportation is unpopular compared with cars and airplanes. Most people like traveling by car or by air.
Officials of the United States Department of Transportation made a study in 2001. The study is about how many miles Americans traveled by different means of transportation. They only studied trips longer than 50 miles. The study showed that fifty-six percent of all miles were traveled in personal vehicle. Forty-one percent were traveled in an airplane. Two percent were traveled in a bus. And less than one percent of miles were traveled in a train.
Amtrak is the national provider of train transportation in the United States. In the past ten years, the number of its passengers has increased by eighteen percent. Although the number of passengers has increased, it is still very small now. In countries such as France, Germany, or Japan, more people use trains.
There are several reasons why many people __________________________.
Firstly, Americans love to drive their own cars. On highways, cars can travel as fast as trains. These highways connect all major cities in America. Secondly, many travelers like to be independent. When they use their own cars they can decide when to travel. Thirdly, many buses travel between major cities. Bus travel is less costly than train travel.
In a huge country like the United States, cities are far away from each other. In some cases, travel from one city to another by train may take more than a day. Airplanes can carry passengers over long distances much faster. People who do not want to spend long time traveling by train decide to fly. For these people saving time is the most important thing.

从A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
21.B adapt to“适应”；attend to“处理，照料”；agree to“同意”；admit to“许可进入”。根据句意“只有通过不断学习和改变我们的观念，我们才能适应环境变化”，可知选B。
22.B 句意：他们好像要我们拿三千美元的音乐厅使用费。charge sb. some money for sth.为某物向某人要多少钱。sth. cost sb. money某物花费某人多少钱。
23.B 从take a photo可知，是让对方“别动，保持静止状态”。calm“镇静的，冷静的”；still“静止不动的”；silent“沉默的”；quiet“安静的，寂静的”。
24.C 句意：公众对他发现华南虎的声明持怀疑态度，因为华南虎根本不可能在这样的地方生长。be skeptical about对……表示怀疑，由句意可知，答案为C项。
25.D 由答语中的“我不知道”可知，说话者对“汤姆发生了什么事”把握不大。“他可能迷路了”与问句时态一致，表示对过去发生事情的推测，故选D。
26.C predict“预言，预知，预告”；sign“签署，署名于”；indicate“显示，预示，标明”；resort“求助，诉诸”。B、D两项意思不对；predict的主语应是人，故选C。
27.D 句意：对现行法律将作变动。此处需要定语，A、B两项只能作谓语，所以排除；exist为不及物动词，不能用existed表示被动；existing“现存的，现行的”，符合题意。
28.C extinct“绝种的”；precious“珍贵的”；valuable“宝贵的”；common“普遍的，常见的”。根据句意“众所周知，如果没有自然保护区，很有可能更多的动物将要灭绝”，可知选C。
29.A claim to have done sth. 意为“声称曾经做过某事”。to have done是不定式的完成式，表示动作发生在谓语动词之前。句意：那个商人声称他毕业于哈佛大学，但实际上他从没上过大学。

34.A 句意：我相信老师的解释可以阐明这个令人疑惑的问题。throw light on“阐明；帮助弄清楚”，符合题意。
35.B 句意：虽然它们尺寸、形状和金属不同，但它们在重量上完全一样。第一空of different sizes，shapes and metals为of + 名词结构；第二空in weight表示“在重量上”。
36.B event意为“事件”；story意为“故事、传说”；adventure意为“冒险”；description意为“描述”。根据全文可知，关于雪人这件事是一个故事或传说。
37.D 从下文中的“Climbers in the 1920s”可知，关于雪人的故事已有许多年(many years)，不可能是其他选项。
38.C know of意为“听说”，其他选项不符合文章意思。
39.A even在此用来加强语气，表示甚至有人抓到过雪人。
40.B though引导让步状语从句，表示尽管目前还没有证据证明这一问题。
41.D 根据文章意思，雪人的故事应当是还在继续流传。
42.D simply在此处作“仅仅、简单的”讲，此句意为“这不只是猴子或熊的脚印”。
43.C 根据前文中believed一词我们可知，Eric Shipton没有什么证据，只能是感觉到(feel)。
44.A 本题考查动词词义。exist意为“存在”；escape意为“逃脱”；return意为“归还，回来”。根据上下文很容易确定答案。
45.B 从文中的意思来看，后来人们只是发现“更多的(more)脚印。”
46.C 由“nothing more than”来暗示“脚印”也不过是普通动物的行迹而已。
47.B 结合上下文的意思，雪地里的足迹经过融化再冻会变“大”(large)。
48.D however此处表示转折，因为下文写的是一名俄罗斯科学家所持的不同观点。
49.B 后文讲到一名俄罗斯科学家认为雪人是与史前人类相联系，由此可见这位科学家认为雪人是“真的”(real)。
50.C 上文提到的没有证据证明这种情况又出现了，故用again。
51.B actually此处指“事实上”，这位俄罗斯科学家的观点仍然没有得到事实证明。
52.C 联系上下文可知，大部分人都不相信雪人的故事了，只是少数人“认真”(seriously)对待雪人的传说，take sth. seriously意为“认真对待某事”。
53.A 本题考查动词词组的意思。succeed in doing sth.意为“成功做某事”，符合句意。
54.D 根据文意，应为面临的“难题”(problem)。
55.A 从文章的意思看，雪人如果是“人”就应当住旅馆；如果是“动物”，就应该进“动物园”(zoo)。
56.C 因果判断题。由第一段中“Other fans watch the games at home, sticking to their TV sets, never missing a game. Many a wife becomes a “sports widow” during her husband's favorite season.”部分内容可知，她们的丈夫热衷于(看)体育(比赛)，导致她们在赛季成了“运动寡妇”。
57.D 细节判断题。D项在文中没有信息支持，所以答案选D。文章第一段最后一句提到了A项；文章第二段第三、四句提到了B项；文章第二段最后一句提到了C项。
58.B 推理判断题。文章第三段中“Americans export sports fever as well. Satellites broadcast games to sports fans around the globe.”说明体育文化影响着整个世界。
59.A 写作意图题。文章第一段前两句指出了体育在美国是多么重要，下文围绕其展开，由此可知A项最切题。

60.C Napoleon指挥动物们在Snowball的带领下去割草，并说它自己随后便会赶到，并且当它说了“Forward，comrades！The hay is waiting.”这句话后，所有的动物都出发去割草了。由此可推知，它应该是动物们的头领。
61.C 根据文章中Snowball说的“‘Now, comrades,’...‘to the hayfield！Let us...get in the harvest more...’”可知，这是在秋天的收获季节。
62.A 根据文章内容可知，动物们将饲养他们的主人Mr. Jones赶走，自己做了农场的主人，并制定了七条规定。因此A项正确。
63.B 根据动物制定的七条规定可知，它们的敌人是人类。
语篇解读：一位女士下班后在酒吧里喝了点酒，回家时听到有人跟踪，想起晨报上看到的城市杀人狂连杀四人的标题，感觉十分害怕。结果是自己在酒吧喝酒时把一份工作简报忘在了酒吧，服务员尾随送给她而造成的一场虚惊。
64.C 细节理解题。由文章第一段的第一句话及第三段的前两句话可知那位女士感到紧张是因为有人跟踪她。
65.A 词义猜测题。根据上下文的语境：天已经黑了，街上空无一人，而她又独自一人，应该是城市杀人狂容易攻击的目标。
66.B 细节理解题。根据文章第四段最后一句话可以判断出：那位女士因为她看到那个巷子是个死胡同而令她无法逃生，所以她对原先想从巷子逃跑的想法苦笑了一下。
67.C 判断推理题。根据第三段第二句中“...each short hot breath hit the night air, it turned to steam”可以推断那天晚上天气很寒冷，温度很低。
68.C 与其说是判断推理题不如说是细节题。从第一段的our home的our(是指小女孩的和作者的)，就可以判断最有可能是mother了。另外从作者对小女孩关注的时间I watched her through those junior high years and into high school.和对小女孩球队获胜消息的频度Every week, she led her school team to victory.以及对小女孩的情感上She was heartbroken and I felt my own throat tighten as I sensed her disappointment.也不难作出判断。
69.A 细节理解题。在文章中的第三段可以找到答案。
70.C 细节理解题。从第三段“she would probably never get to play for a top ranked team-much less offered a scholarship”可以得知。
71.A 判断推理题。“My Daddy told me if the dream is big enough, the facts don't count.” her father said those coaches were wrong. They just did not understand the power of a dream. He told her that if she truly wanted a scholarship and that nothing could stop her except one thing—her own attitude.从他爸爸的回答中可以推出答案。
72.A 细节理解题。由第一段第二句“...she was too small to play the part of Velvet.”及下文又提到“Taylor长高了才出演”可知A正确。
73.C 细节理解题。根据最后一段第二句“Like Velvet Brown in National Velvet...she has beauty, fame and wealth.”可知C项正确。Velvet年轻时就在一次著名的赛马中获得第一名，而Taylor在十多岁就因为饰演Velvet而获得成功。
74.B 推理判断题。由第二段可知Taylor 1932年出生，曾两次获得“最佳女演员”奖，而第一次是在1960年，由此可推知答案为B。
75.A 细节理解题。由文章最后一段第五句“...she puts her time and effort into her business, and into helping others.”可知A项正确。

Spend more time on physical activities
It is reported that American students spend more than 70 minutes on physical activities per day. However, in China students have only 12 minutes for physical activities per day.
Why do the Chinese students spend so little time on physical activities From the pie chart above we can see, 40% of their spare time is spent doing their homework; 25% of it is spent watching TV; 20% is spent playing computer games or chatting online. Only 15% of their time is used to do some physical activities. It is obvious that most of their spare time is spent on homework, computer games and TV shows.
In my opinion, students should spend more spare time on physical activities, which are beneficial to their growth and health. Both the education departments and parents should encourage students to set aside more time for physical activities.
