五、阅读理解 (1.5’×20=30’)
A
The Americans believe that anybody can become President of the United States. In a recent Hollywood comedy, that is exactly what happens.
Dave Kovic, played by Kevin Kline, is a kind-hearted man who runs a business that finds people jobs. He leads a typical American way of life, except for one thing ... he looks exactly like the President, Bill Mitchell. In fact, the only thing that makes him different from the nation’s leader is that he is very nice!
The president has started look-alikes during some public appearances. Dave is offered a chance to “serve his country” by becoming one. However, things go wrong. The President becomes very ill and Dave ends up acting as the President forever.
Director Ivan Reitman, who made the popular and successful comedies like Twins, Ghostbusters and Legal Eagles, could have gone for laughs by making fun of the American government. Instead, Dave is an attractive comedy about an ordinary man in extraordinary situations. Kevin Kline gives a double performance as Dave and the President, and Sigourney Weaver is at her best as his First Lady. The love story that develops between her role and Dave is a real classic.
The film is 100 % American. However, if you’ve ever felt that anybody could do a better job running the country than the people in power, then you’ll enjoy Dave!
41. What is the purpose of the text
A. To tell the reader about the American government.
B. To discuss the Americans’ ideas about the President.
C. To make a comparison between Dave and other films.
D. To introduce a new film to the reader.
42. Who plays the role of the President in the film
A. Sigourney Weaver B. Kevin Kline C. Bill Mitchell D. Ivan Reitman
43. The underlined word “one” in the third paragraph refers to
A. the President B. the director C. an actor D. a look-alike
44. Which of the following is best supported by the text
A. The author makes fun of the President.
B. The author thinks highly of the film.
C. The author is a fan of Hollywood comedies.
D. The author wishes to become the American President.
B
Expressions about water are almost as common as water itself. But many of the expressions using water have unpleasant meanings.
The expression “to be in hot water” is one of them. It is a very old expression. “Hot water” was used five hundred years ago to mean being in trouble. One story says it got that meaning from the custom of throwing extremely hot water down on enemies attacking a castle.
That no longer happens. But we still get in “hot water”. When we are in “hot water”, we are in trouble. It can be any kind of trouble---serious, and not so serious. A person who breaks a law can be in hot water with the police. A young boy can be in hot water with his mother, if he comes into the house with dirty shoes.
Being in “deep water” is almost the same as being in hot water. When you are in “deep water”, you are in a difficult position. Imagine a person who cannot swim being thrown into water over his head.
You are in deep water when you are facing a problem that you do not have the ability to solve. You can be in deep water, for example, if you invest (投资) in stocks without knowing anything about the stock market.
“To keep your head above water” is a colorful expression that means staying out of debt. A company seeks to keep its head above water during economic hard times. A man who loses his job tries to keep his head above water until he finds a new job.
“Water over the dam” is another expression about a past event. It is something that is finished. It cannot be changed. The expression comes from the idea that water which has flowed over a dam cannot be brought back again.
45. The passage mainly tells us _______.
A. the importance of water in our life B. some expressions about water
C. some sad stories about water D. some lessons about daily life
46. When a friend is troubled by a mistake she has made, you might tell her to forget about it. You say “ _______ ”.
A. You are in hot water B. You are in deep water
C. Keep your head above water D. It is water over the dam
47. Two of the phrases “to be in hot water” “to be in deep water” mentioned in the passage have the same meaning of _______.
A. to be in debt B. to be in difficulty C. to be useless D. to be out of water
48. Which of the following expressions is a bit different from the others in meaning
A. To be in hot water. B. To be in deep water.
C. To keep your head above water. D. Water over the dam.

Two travelling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was impolite and refused to let the angels stay in the guest room. Instead the angels were given a space in the cold underground room. As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied, “Things aren’t always what they seem.”
The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very kind farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had, the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night’s rest. When the sun came up the next morning, the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their only income, lay dead in the field.
The younger angel was very angry and asked the older angel, “How could this happen Why did you not watch out for the cow The first man had everything, yet you watched over his house,” she accused. “The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you did not help.”
“Things aren’t always what they seem,” the older angel replied. “When we stayed in the underground room, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so greedy and unwilling to share his good fortune, I asked God if I could seal the wall so he couldn’t find it. Then last night as we slept in the farmer’s bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I asked God if the angel could take the cow instead. You see, things aren’t always what they seem. ”
49. Why did the older angel repair the hole for the rich family
A. Because she didn’t like the greedy owner.
B. Because she wanted to save the gold for the poor.
C. Because the underground room was too cold to stay in.
D. Because she believed that one should always be ready to offer help.
50. The younger angel was very angry because ________.
A. the older angel killed the farmer’s cow
B. the older angel treated the two families differently
C. the wealthy man gave them a bad place to live in
D. the angel of death took the cow away
51. Why did the older angel let the farmer’s cow die
A. Because God wanted the older angel to take the cow.
B. Because she wanted to teach the younger angel a lesson.
C. Because she wanted to save the farmer’s wife.
D. Because she was sympathetic to the rich.
52. The story tries to tell readers that ________.
A. angels are always ready to help the poor
B. sometimes things are not what they seem
C. angels are always ready to help the rich
D. the young should always learn from the old
D
A sunflower is a sunflower. A mobile phone is a mobile phone. But can you combine the two to do something for your local environment As early as next year it may well be possible. When you have finished with your mobile phone you will be able to bury it in a garden or a plant pot and wait for it to flower.
A biodegradable (生物分解) mobile phone was, this month, introduced by scientists. It is hoped that the new type of phone will encourage consumers to recycle.
Scientists have come up with a new material over the last five years. It looks like any other plastic and can be hard or soft, and is able to change shape. Over time it can also break down into the soil without giving out any poisonous chemicals. British researchers used the new material to develop a phone cover that contains a sunflower seed. When this new type of cover turns into waste, it forms fertilizers. These feed the seed and help the flower grow.
Engineers have designed a small transparent (透明) window to hold the seed. They have made sure it only grows when the phone is thrown away. “We’ve only put sunflower seeds into the covers so far. But we are working with plant experts to find out which flowers would perform best. Maybe we could put roses in next time,” said one scientist.
As phone technology is developing so quickly, people are constantly throwing their mobiles away. This means phone--makers are under pressure to find ways of recycling them. Some 650 million mobile phones have been sold this year. Most of them will be thrown away within two years, adding plastic, heavy metal and chemical waste to the environment. A biodegradable cover can offer some relief (缓解) for nature , according to the scientists.
“The seed comes out and the flower grows in the pot so you don’t have to concern yourself with the phone when you have finished using it,” said Kerry Kirwan. She leads the research team, which is based at the University of Warwick in Britain.
53. What is the purpose of this passage
A. To tell the popularity of biodegradable cell phones.
B. To persuade the reader to buy the biodegradable cell phone.
C. To discuss the development of phone technology.
D. To introduce an environmental--friendly cell phone to readers.
54. People throw away their cell phones most probably because _______.
A. there is something wrong with them B. no sunflowers can grow out of them
C. they are out of fashion D. they are becoming cheaper and cheaper
55. It could be learned from the passage that ________
A. developing the new type of phone is mainly to protect the environment
B. phone-makers will benefit much more from the new type of phone
C. the new type of phone will certainly be popular with users all over the world
D. the phones that can be recycled are available only in Britain now
56. What might be the most suitable title for this passage
A. Sunflower and Phone. B. Plant Your Phone.
C. Protect Our Environment. D. No Worry about Phone.

To tweet, or not to tweet
A guide to the social networking/ microblogging service Twitter
SINCE its creation in 2006, Twitter, the social networking service, has taken cyber space by storm. At first glance it might seem like Facebook, but Twitter is in a league of its own, connecting people with fast-paced updates. It has become a place for activities, celebrities, businesses and everyday people to let others know about videos, opinions, interesting news, advertisements — and, yes what they are eating for lunch.
The phenomenon includes a host of new vocabulary terms and concepts that every self-respecting Twitter-er should know. Here’s a quick course on Twitter.
Twitter: n. a free social networking service that connects users through fast-paced status updates.Twitter-er: n. one who uses Twitter.Tweet: n. short updates or messages, of 140 characters or less, which are posted on your profile and sent to your followers.Retweet (RT): n. unofficial Twitter feature that indicates a re-posting of a tweet from another user. Often uses the text RT@username (of the original source) before the post.Follower: n. one who receives another user’s updates on his or her Twitter profile.Direct message: n. a private message sent from one Twitter-er to another.
So you’ve finally been swept up by the techno-tide and gotten a Twitter account. But what to write Who knew 140 characters could be so overwhelming
Darren Rowse of the TwiTip blog(www. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com / " \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网 )) recommends a two-step tweeting process: Figure out what your followers want, and then give it to them. Some combination of cool links, conversation-starting quotes or questions, retweets and photos works well. Rowse writes.
Keep in mind that Twitter doesn’t directly offer photo hosting. You will need to use a third-party site like TwitPic (www. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com / " \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网 )) to upload your photos. Other sites, like TwitVid (www.twitvid.io ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com / " \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网 )) can be used to post videos.
If you think the Twitter Web Site too complicated, try a Twiiter client—Tweetdeck(/beta) and the Mac-only Tweetie(www. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com / " \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网 )) are popular, and both also are available as iPhone apps(应用程序).
Even without an iphone, you can update you Twitter on the go. After adding your phone number to your Twitter account, you can text updates to 40404(check Twitter’s Web site for numbers to use outside the United States).
But no matter how you tweet, remember that people can see what you post, and Twitter might not be the best place to complain about your boss. Even if you make your Twitter private, your followers may not share your sense of caution.
Twitter is crowded with celebrity accounts. The famous, who once avoided the media in their private lives, are posting everything on Twitter for all the cyber world to see, gathering followers in the millions. Who’s leading the celebrity pack TwitterCounter(www. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com / " \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网 )), a site that tracks the most popular Twitter users, lists Ashton Kuntcher(username: aplusk) and former fashion model, as the most popular Twitter-er with, as of our publication date, 2,691,112 followers.

五、阅读理解 (1.5’×20=30’)
A
The Americans believe that anybody can become President of the United States. In a recent Hollywood comedy, that is exactly what happens.
Dave Kovic, played by Kevin Kline, is a kind-hearted man who runs a business that finds people jobs. He leads a typical American way of life, except for one thing ... he looks exactly like the President, Bill Mitchell. In fact, the only thing that makes him different from the nation’s leader is that he is very nice!
The president has started look-alikes during some public appearances. Dave is offered a chance to “serve his country” by becoming one. However, things go wrong. The President becomes very ill and Dave ends up acting as the President forever.
Director Ivan Reitman, who made the popular and successful comedies like Twins, Ghostbusters and Legal Eagles, could have gone for laughs by making fun of the American government. Instead, Dave is an attractive comedy about an ordinary man in extraordinary situations. Kevin Kline gives a double performance as Dave and the President, and Sigourney Weaver is at her best as his First Lady. The love story that develops between her role and Dave is a real classic.
The film is 100 % American. However, if you’ve ever felt that anybody could do a better job running the country than the people in power, then you’ll enjoy Dave!
41. What is the purpose of the text
A. To tell the reader about the American government.
B. To discuss the Americans’ ideas about the President.

C. The author is a fan of Hollywood comedies.
D. The author wishes to become the American President.

Expressions about water are almost as common as water itself. But many of the expressions using water have unpleasant meanings.
The expression “to be in hot water” is one of them. It is a very old expression. “Hot water” was used five hundred years ago to mean being in trouble. One story says it got that meaning from the custom of throwing extremely hot water down on enemies attacking a castle.
That no longer happens. But we still get in “hot water”. When we are in “hot water”, we are in trouble. It can be any kind of trouble---serious, and not so serious. A person who breaks a law can be in hot water with the police. A young boy can be in hot water with his mother, if he comes into the house with dirty shoes.
Being in “deep water” is almost the same as being in hot water. When you are in “deep water”, you are in a difficult position. Imagine a person who cannot swim being thrown into water over his head.
You are in deep water when you are facing a problem that you do not have the ability to solve. You can be in deep water, for example, if you invest (投资) in stocks without knowing anything about the stock market.
“To keep your head above water” is a colorful expression that means staying out of debt. A company seeks to keep its head above water during economic hard times. A man who loses his job tries to keep his head above water until he finds a new job.
“Water over the dam” is another expression about a past event. It is something that is finished. It cannot be changed. The expression comes from the idea that water which has flowed over a dam cannot be brought back again.
45. The passage mainly tells us _______.
A. the importance of water in our life B. some expressions about water
C. some sad stories about water D. some lessons about daily life
46. When a friend is troubled by a mistake she has made, you might tell her to forget about it. You say “ _______ ”.
A. You are in hot water B. You are in deep water
C. Keep your head above water D. It is water over the dam
47. Two of the phrases “to be in hot water” “to be in deep water” mentioned in the passage have the same meaning of _______.
A. to be in debt B. to be in difficulty C. to be useless D. to be out of water
48. Which of the following expressions is a bit different from the others in meaning
A. To be in hot water. B. To be in deep water.
C. To keep your head above water. D. Water over the dam.

Two travelling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was impolite and refused to let the angels stay in the guest room. Instead the angels were given a space in the cold underground room. As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied, “Things aren’t always what they seem.”
The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very kind farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had, the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night’s rest. When the sun came up the next morning, the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their only income, lay dead in the field.
The younger angel was very angry and asked the older angel, “How could this happen Why did you not watch out for the cow The first man had everything, yet you watched over his house,” she accused. “The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you did not help.”
“Things aren’t always what they seem,” the older angel replied. “When we stayed in the underground room, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so greedy and unwilling to share his good fortune, I asked God if I could seal the wall so he couldn’t find it. Then last night as we slept in the farmer’s bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I asked God if the angel could take the cow instead. You see, things aren’t always what they seem. ”
49. Why did the older angel repair the hole for the rich family
A. Because she didn’t like the greedy owner.
B. Because she wanted to save the gold for the poor.
C. Because the underground room was too cold to stay in.
D. Because she believed that one should always be ready to offer help.

A. Because God wanted the older angel to take the cow.
B. Because she wanted to teach the younger angel a lesson.
C. Because she wanted to save the farmer’s wife.
D. Because she was sympathetic to the rich.
52. The story tries to tell readers that ________.

A sunflower is a sunflower. A mobile phone is a mobile phone. But can you combine the two to do something for your local environment As early as next year it may well be possible. When you have finished with your mobile phone you will be able to bury it in a garden or a plant pot and wait for it to flower.
A biodegradable (生物分解) mobile phone was, this month, introduced by scientists. It is hoped that the new type of phone will encourage consumers to recycle.
Scientists have come up with a new material over the last five years. It looks like any other plastic and can be hard or soft, and is able to change shape. Over time it can also break down into the soil without giving out any poisonous chemicals. British researchers used the new material to develop a phone cover that contains a sunflower seed. When this new type of cover turns into waste, it forms fertilizers. These feed the seed and help the flower grow.
Engineers have designed a small transparent (透明) window to hold the seed. They have made sure it only grows when the phone is thrown away. “We’ve only put sunflower seeds into the covers so far. But we are working with plant experts to find out which flowers would perform best. Maybe we could put roses in next time,” said one scientist.
As phone technology is developing so quickly, people are constantly throwing their mobiles away. This means phone--makers are under pressure to find ways of recycling them. Some 650 million mobile phones have been sold this year. Most of them will be thrown away within two years, adding plastic, heavy metal and chemical waste to the environment. A biodegradable cover can offer some relief (缓解) for nature , according to the scientists.
“The seed comes out and the flower grows in the pot so you don’t have to concern yourself with the phone when you have finished using it,” said Kerry Kirwan. She leads the research team, which is based at the University of Warwick in Britain.
53. What is the purpose of this passage
A. To tell the popularity of biodegradable cell phones.
B. To persuade the reader to buy the biodegradable cell phone.
C. To discuss the development of phone technology.
D. To introduce an environmental--friendly cell phone to readers.
54. People throw away their cell phones most probably because _______.
A. there is something wrong with them B. no sunflowers can grow out of them
C. they are out of fashion D. they are becoming cheaper and cheaper
55. It could be learned from the passage that ________
A. developing the new type of phone is mainly to protect the environment
B. phone-makers will benefit much more from the new type of phone
C. the new type of phone will certainly be popular with users all over the world
D. the phones that can be recycled are available only in Britain now
56. What might be the most suitable title for this passage
A. Sunflower and Phone. B. Plant Your Phone.
C. Protect Our Environment. D. No Worry about Phone.

To tweet, or not to tweet
A guide to the social networking/ microblogging service Twitter
SINCE its creation in 2006, Twitter, the social networking service, has taken cyber space by storm. At first glance it might seem like Facebook, but Twitter is in a league of its own, connecting people with fast-paced updates. It has become a place for activities, celebrities, businesses and everyday people to let others know about videos, opinions, interesting news, advertisements — and, yes what they are eating for lunch.
The phenomenon includes a host of new vocabulary terms and concepts that every self-respecting Twitter-er should know. Here’s a quick course on Twitter.
Twitter: n. a free social networking service that connects users through fast-paced status updates.Twitter-er: n. one who uses Twitter.Tweet: n. short updates or messages, of 140 characters or less, which are posted on your profile and sent to your followers.Retweet (RT): n. unofficial Twitter feature that indicates a re-posting of a tweet from another user. Often uses the text RT@username (of the original source) before the post.Follower: n. one who receives another user’s updates on his or her Twitter profile.Direct message: n. a private message sent from one Twitter-er to another.
So you’ve finally been swept up by the techno-tide and gotten a Twitter account. But what to write Who knew 140 characters could be so overwhelming
Darren Rowse of the TwiTip blog(www. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com / " \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网 )) recommends a two-step tweeting process: Figure out what your followers want, and then give it to them. Some combination of cool links, conversation-starting quotes or questions, retweets and photos works well. Rowse writes.
Keep in mind that Twitter doesn’t directly offer photo hosting. You will need to use a third-party site like TwitPic (www. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com / " \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网 )) to upload your photos. Other sites, like TwitVid (www.twitvid.io ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com / " \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网 )) can be used to post videos.
If you think the Twitter Web Site too complicated, try a Twiiter client—Tweetdeck(/beta) and the Mac-only Tweetie(www. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com / " \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网 )) are popular, and both also are available as iPhone apps(应用程序).
Even without an iphone, you can update you Twitter on the go. After adding your phone number to your Twitter account, you can text updates to 40404(check Twitter’s Web site for numbers to use outside the United States).
But no matter how you tweet, remember that people can see what you post, and Twitter might not be the best place to complain about your boss. Even if you make your Twitter private, your followers may not share your sense of caution.
Twitter is crowded with celebrity accounts. The famous, who once avoided the media in their private lives, are posting everything on Twitter for all the cyber world to see, gathering followers in the millions. Who’s leading the celebrity pack TwitterCounter(www. ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com / " \o "欢迎登陆21世纪教育网 )), a site that tracks the most popular Twitter users, lists Ashton Kuntcher(username: aplusk) and former fashion model, as the most popular Twitter-er with, as of our publication date, 2,691,112 followers.
