Translate the following paragraph into Chinese: (10 points)得分评卷人Rummaging through the fruit and veg section of my local supermarket, reading the country of origin labels, I am bewildered by the geography of it all. That the fruits of the earth should all be laid out on tidy shelves in this provincial corner of Britain would have been unthinkable a few years ago, yet now it is taken for granted.Once strange and exotic fruits that only the rich could afford, if not now part of everyone’s diet, are certainly part of our everyday shopping experience. So much so that instead of focusing on the novel, I am drawn to the commonplace. Here, among the “humble” vegetables, something strange and disturbing is going on.V.

Reading Comprehension (38 points)得分评卷人Passage 1Clearly if we are to participle in the society in which we live we must communicate with other people. A great deal of communicating is performed on a person-to-person basis by the simple means of speech. If we travel in buses, buy things in shops, or eat in restaurants, we are likely to have conversations where we give information or opinions, receive news or comment, and very likely have our views challenged by other members of society.Face-to-face contact is by no means the only form of communication and during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become of one of the dominating factors of contemporary society. Two things, above others, have caused the enormous growth of the communication industry. Firstly, inventiveness has led to advances in printing, telecommunications, photography, radio and television. Secondly, speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of communications so that local news often takes a back seat to national news, which itself is often almost eclipsed by international news.No longer is the possession of information confined to a privileged minority. In the last century the wealthy man with his own library was indeed fortunate, but today there are public libraries. Forty years ago people used to flock to the cinema, but now far more people sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a programme that is being channeled into millions of homes.Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of information. The modern communication industry influences the way people live in society and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information, education and entertainment. The printing, broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with informing,educating and entertaining.Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is very valuable to the individual and to the society of which he is a part, the vast modern network of communications is open to abuse. However, the mass media are with us for better, for worse, and there is no turning back.In the first paragraph the writer emphasizes the _________ of face-to-face contact in social settings.A natureB limitationC usefulnessD creativity2. It is implied in the passage that_______A local news used to be the only source of informationB local news still takes a significant placeC national news is becoming more popularD international news is the fastest transmitted news3. which of the following statement is INCORRECT?A To possess information used to be a privilegeB Public libraries have replaced private librariesC Communication means more than transmissionD Information influences ways of life and thinking4.From the last paragraph we can infer that the writer is________.A indifferent to the harmful influence of the mass mediaB happy about the drastic changes in the mass mediaC pessimistic about the future of the mass mediaD concerned about the wrong use of the mass mediaPassage 2I am one of the many city people who are always saying that given the choice we would prefer to live in the country away from the dirt and noise of a large city. I have managed to convince myself that it were n’t for my job I would immediately head out for the open spaces and go back to nature in some sleepy village buried in the country. But how realistic is the dream?Cities can be frightening places. The majority of the population live in massive tower blocks, noisy, dirty and impersonal. The sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear when you live fifteen floors up. All you can see from your window is sky, or other blocks of flats. Children become aggressive and nervous—cooped up at home all day, with nowhere to play; their mothers feel isolated from the rest of the world. Strangely enough whereas in the past the inhabitants of one street all knew each other, nowadays people on the same floor in tower blocks don’t even say hello to each other.Country life, on the other hand, differs from this kind of isolated existence in that a sense of community generally binds the inhabitants of small villages together. People have the advantage of knowing that there is always someone to turn to when they need help. But country life has disadvantages too. While it is true that you may be among friends in a village, it is also true that you are cut off from the existing and important events that take place in cities. There’s little possibility of going to a new show or the latest movie. Shopping becomes a major problem, and for anything slightly out of the ordinary you have to go on and expedition to the nearest large town. The city-dweller who leaves for the country is often oppressed by a sense of unbearable stillness and quiet.What, then, is the answer? The country has the advantage of peace and quiet, but suffers from the disadvantage of being cut off; the city breeds a feeling of isolation, and constant noise batters the senses. But one of its main advantages is that you are at the center of things, and that life doesn’t come to an end at half-past nine at night. Some people have found (or rather bought) a compromise between the two; they have expressed their preference for the “quiet life” by leaving the suburbs and moving to villages within commuting distance of large cities. They generally have about as much sensitivity as the plastic flowers they leave behind— they are polluted with strange ideas about change and improvement which they force on to the unwilling original inhabitants of the villages.What then of my dreams of leaning on a cottage gate and murmuring “morning”to the locals as they pass by? I’m keen on the idea, but you see there’s my cat, Toby, I’m not at all sure that he would take to all that fresh air and exercise in the long grass, I mean, can you see him mixing with all those hearty males down the farm? No, he would rather have the electric imitation-coal fire any evening.We get the impression from the first paragraph that the authorA used to live in the countryB used to work in the cityC works in the cityD lives in the country6. In the author’s opinion, the following may cause city people to be unhappy EXCEPTA a strong sense of fearB lack of communicationC housing conditionsD a sense of isolation7. The passage implies that it is easy to buy the following things in the country EXCEPTA daily necessitiesB fresh fruitsC designer clothesD fresh vegetables8. According to the passage, which of the following adjectives best describes those people who work in large cities and live in villages?A OriginalB QuietC ArrogantD Insensitive9. Do you think the author will move to the country?A Yes, he will do soB No, he will not do soC It is difficult to tellD He is in two mindsPassage 3Ideas about education are changing in the United States. Education today is not just a high school diploma or a college degree. Many adults are not interested in going to college. They are interested in other kinds of learning. For them, learning does not end with a diploma.Continuing education gives these adults the opportunity to increase their knowledge about their own field or to learn about a new field. It also gives them a chance to improve their old skills or to learn new ones.Scientists, mechanics and barbers can take classes to improve their work skills. If they know more or learn more, they can get a better job or earn more money.Continuing education classes give more adults the chances to learn new skills. There is usually a large variety of classes to choose from: typing, foreign cooking, photography, auto repair, furniture repair, or swimming. These are only some of the classes available.Some adults take classes for fun or because the class will be useful for them. Other adults take continuing education classes to improve their own lives because they want to feel better about themselves.Almost any community college or public school system has a continuing education program. There are classes in schools, community buildings or churches. Most classes are in the evening, so working people can attend. The classes are usually small, and they are inexpensive.10. The new idea about education in the U.S. is that__________.A. everyone should get a college degreeB. It’s no use for adults to go to collegeC. a high school diploma is the end of educationD. adults should go on learning after graduating from school11. What’s the purpose for adults to continue their education?A. Enlarge their knowledge and learn new skills.B. Catch up the opportunity to get a higher degree.C. Learn more basic knowledge to get a diploma.D. Make themselves live a more comfortable life.12. Which of the following statement is true?A. There are only a few continuing education classes available for adults.B. Only those who want to get more money should go on with their education.C. People take continuing education can get a good job.D. All the people getting continuing education can get a good job.13. Usually, the continuing education program is given________.A. in a small size and expensivelyB. only for working peopleC. only in community buildings or churchesD. by community colleges and public schools14. The best title for the passage would be _________.A. Continuing Education ClassesB. The Importance of a College DegreeC. A Good Way to Earn More MoneyD. Difference Choices for AdultsPassage 4Human cloning technology could be used to reverse heart attacks. Scientists believe that they may be able to treat heart attack victims by cloning their healthy heart cells and injecting them into the areas of the heart that have been damaged, and other problems may be solved if human cloning and its technology are not forbidden.With cloning, infertile couples could have children. Current treatments for infertility, in terms of percentages, are not very successfully. Couples go through physically and emotionally painful procedures for a small chance of having children. Many couples run out of time and money without successfully having children. Human cloning could make it possible for many more infertile couples to have children than ever before.We should be able to clone the bone marrow for children and adults suffering from leukemia. This is expected to be one of the first benefits to come from cloning technology.We may learn how to switch cells on and off through cloning and thus be able to cure cancer.Cloning technology can be used to test for and perhaps cure gene-related diseases.The above is just a few examples of what human cloning technology can do for mankind. This new technology promises unprecedented advancement in medicine if people will release their fears and let the benefits begin.15．Heart attacks can be treated with human cloning technology by___________.A removing the damaged part of the heartB replacing the old heart with a cloned oneC repairing the heart with cells cloned from healthy onesD giving the patients injections of various medicines16. The word “infertile”(Line 1, Para.2) most probably means“____________”.A unable to give birth to a childB with physical and emotional problemsC short of time and moneyD separated from each other for long17. According to the passage, one of the first expected benefits from cloning technology may be in ____________.A the treatment of heart attacksB the bearing of babiesC the cure of blood diseasesD the detection of gene-related diseases18. Cancer may be cured with the cloning technology by___________.A attacking the diseased cells with healthy onesB controlling the growth of the cellsC detecting disordered genes in the cancel cellsD activating cancer cells by switching them on19. According to the writer, the main problem with the development of human cloning technology is that___________.A it may be out of human controlB it has brought about few benefits so farC people still know little about itD people are afraid of such technologyVII.

BWhile all my classmates seen to be crazy about a one-way ticket to Mars (火星), I’d rather say Mars is totally unsuitable for human existence. People won’t have enough foo d supplies there, and the terrible environment would make it impossible for them to live a long life. Besides, the journey won’t be safe. Can anybody explain to me just why peo ple would go to Mars, never to return?Steve Minear, UKHere are the things you can think of: the desire to explore a foreign and unique envi ronment, the excitement of being the first humans to open up a new world, the expectatio n of fame and glory…For scientists there is another reason. Their observations and researc h will probably lead to great scientific achievements.Donal Trollop, CanadaThere are already too many people on the Earth. I think that sometime before the en d of the century, there will be a human colony (殖民地) on Mars. It will happen when p eople finally realize that tow-way trips to the red planet Mars are unnecessary. Most of th e danger of space Flight is in the launches (发射) and landings. Cutting the trip home w ould therefore reduce the danger of accidents, save a lot of money, and open the way to building an everlasting human settlement on another world.Enough supplies can be sent on ahead. And every two years more supplies and more people will needs, and Mars is far more pleasant than the other planets in the outer spac e.(from )Paul Davies. USA60.The main purpose of Steve Minear’s writing is ________.A.to report his classmates’ discussionB.to invite an answer to his questionC.to explain the natural state of MarsD.to show his agreement on going to Mars61.Which of the follo wing best states Donal Trollop’s idea?A.There is a plan to send humans to Mars.B.There are many reasons for going to Mars.C.Scientists become famous by doing research on Mars.D.It is possible to build an Earth-like environment on Mars.62.Paul Davies points out that ________.A.humans need only a one-way ticket to Mars.B.two-way trips to Mars will be made safe soonC.it is easy to reduce the danger and cost of flights to MarsD.it is cheap to build an everlasting human settlement on Mars63.What does Paul Davies think of human existence on Mars?A.Humans will have to bring all they need from the Earth.B.Humans will find Mars totally unsuitable for living.C.Humans can produce everything they need.D.Humans can live longer in the colony on Mars.CBeing able to multitask—doing several things at the same time—is considered a welc ome skill by most people. But if we consider the situation of the young people aged fro m eight to eighteen, we should think again.What we often see nowadays is that young people juggle an ever larger number of e lectronic devices (电子产品) as they study. While working, they also surf on the Internet, send out emails, answer the telephone and listen to music on their Pods. In a sense, the y are spending a significant amount of time in fruitless efforts as they multitask.Multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members. As young pe ople around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house, nor can they cat at the family table.M ultitasking also affects young people’s performance at university and in the workpla ce. When asked about their opinion of the effect of modern gadgets (器具) on their perfo rmance of tasks, many young people gave a positive response (反应). However, the respo nse from the worlds of education and business was not quite as positive. Educators feel t hat multitasking by children has a serious effect on later development of study skills. The y believe that many college students now need help to improve their study skills. Similarl y, employers feel that young people entering the job market need to be taught all over ag ain, as modern gadgets have made it unnecessary for them to learn special skills to do th eir work.(from )64.What does the underlined word “juggle” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?A.Want to buyB.Take the place of.e at the same timeD.Seek for information from.65.In Paragraph 3, the author points out that ________.A.family members do not cat at the family tableB.family member do not greet each otherC.young people live happily in their familiesD.young people seldom talk with their family members66.What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A.Multitasking is harmful to young people’s development.B.Young people benefit a lot from modern gadgetsC.Multitasking is an important skill to young people.D.Young people must learn skills for future jobs.67.The author develops the passage mainly by ________.A.providing typical examplesB.following the natural time orderparing opinions from different fieldsD.presenting a cause and analyzing its effects。

科学五年级下册第一单元《沉和浮》复习资料、同一种材料构成地物体，在水中地沉浮与它们地（轻重）、（体积大小）没有关系.如：一块完整地橡皮放在水中是沉地，切四分之一放入水中还是沉地.、大小相同地物体，越（重）越容易（沉），越（轻）越容易（浮）；轻重相同地物体，体积越（小）越容易（沉），体积越（大）越容易（浮）.、潜水艇是通过改变（自身地重量）来控制沉浮地.、物体在水中排开水地体积叫做（排开地水量）.、一块橡皮泥放入水中是沉地，你有办法让它浮起来吗？（做成空心）、（做成船形）、（做成碗形）、（做成花瓶形）等.、铁块在水中是沉地，轮船为什么能浮在水面上.因为轮船好像一个很大地铁碗，它地体积比铁块大得多，排开地水量也大得多，船受到地浮力就大大超过了它所受到地重力，所以船就可以浮在水面上了.、相同重量地橡皮泥，做成不同形状后，（排开地水量）越大，就越容易浮.、把泡沫塑料块等往水中压，手能感受到水对泡沫塑料块有一个向（上）地力，这个力我们称它为水地（浮力）.、放在水面上地物体，都会受到水地浮力.当物体静止在水面时，它受到地浮力（等于）它受到地重力.浮力和重力地方向（相反），浮力向（上），重力向（下）.、物体在水中受到地浮力大小与（排开地水量）有关，排开地水量越大（浸入水中地体积越大），受到地浮力就越大.、马铃薯在浓地盐水、糖水等液体里都能浮起来.因为马铃薯比同体积地浓盐水轻，所以上浮.、物体在水中地沉浮与同体积地水地重量有关.物体比相同体积地水重，下沉；比相同体积地水轻，上浮.、物体在液体中地沉浮与同体积地液体地重量有关.物体比相同体积地液体重，下沉；比相同体积地液体轻，上浮.、在水中上浮地物体，受到地浮力（大于）重力；在水中下沉地物体，受到地浮力（小于）重力.、测量液体轻重地仪器叫作（比重计）.科学五年级下册第二单元《热》复习资料、当我们感到冷时，我们可以通过（运动）、（多穿衣服）、（吃热地食物）、（靠近热源）等方法来保暖.、衣服本身不能产生热量，为什么它能让我们地身体热起来？衣服本身不能产生热量，但它能减缓身体向空气散发热量地速度，起来保暖地作用.、装有热水地塑料袋在冷水盆中是（浮地）.因为相同重量地热水和冷水相比，热水地体积要大，相同体积地热水和冷水相比，冷水地重量要重.把一袋装有冷水地塑料袋放入热水中，这袋冷水先（下沉），然后会（上浮）、要明显地观察到水由冷变热时体积地变化，利用一个烧瓶装满冷水，上面橡皮塞上插一空心玻璃管，把瓶子放到热水中，水变热时水位上升；把瓶子放入冷水中，水变冷时水位下降，这种水体积地变化叫做热胀冷缩.但水在摄氏度以下时正好相反，是热缩冷胀.其它地液体也具有热胀冷缩地性质，所以装液体地瓶子都不会装满.、空气地热胀冷缩我们用一瓶口装有气球地瓶子来研究空气地变化，将瓶子放入热水里时，气球鼓起来了.放入冷水中时，气球瘪下来了，说明气体也有热胀冷缩地性质.空气比水地热胀冷缩地变化要明显.解释热胀现象：、常见地物体都有微粒组成地.、这些微粒是不停运动地.、微粒运动地速度和范围随着温度地升高而强烈和扩大.、金属地热胀冷缩铜球在加热后不能穿过铁环，冷却后能穿过铁环，说明铜也具有热胀冷缩地性质.钢条加热后会变长加粗、铁轨铺设时分段并留有缝隙、铁桥架在滚轴上，都说明大多数金属都有这样地性质.锑、镓、铋等金属正好与大多数相反，是热缩冷胀.、热是怎样传递地观察热地传递，用酒精灯一端加热粘有火柴地铁丝及涂有蜡地圆盘来研究，发现热在传递时由热源为起点，由热地一端向冷地一端传递或由热地物体向冷地物体传递.离热源越远，热传递地时间越长.热从一个物体传递给另一个物体，或者从物体地一部分传递到另一部分地传热方法叫做热传递.、传热比赛一般来说，金属地传热能力强于非金属，通过金属和非金属物质地组合，可以有效地控制热量地传递.铜铝钢传热性能比较：铜>铝>钢、设计制做一个保温杯.制作保温杯：、隔绝空气与水相接触，设计一个用热地不良导体制用地盖子.、用热地不良导体制成杯身或在杯子外制成一个杯套.棉衣棉被作为热地不良导体，所起地作用是阻止或减缓热量地传递速度.冷柜断电盖棉被是减缓空气中地热量向冷柜传递.科学五年级下册第三单元《时间地测量》复习资料一、时间在流逝：我们可以用有规律或有节奏地活动来估计时间，如数心跳、有节奏地敲桌子等. 时间以（不变地速度）在流逝，平时觉得时间有快慢是（我们地感觉）在起作用.心情愉快时，感觉时间过得（快）；心情焦急、烦燥时，感觉时间过得（慢）.二、太阳钟：在时钟还没发明之前，人们根据（太阳）在天空中地位置来计时，日出而作，日落而息，人类最早使用地时间单位是（天）.我们古时把一天（一昼夜）分成（十二个）时辰，每一个时辰为现在（两小时）.（日晷）就是利用太阳在天空中位置地变化使地面上物体地影子（长度）和（方向）地变化而计时地.三、用水来测量时间：古代地水钟有受水型和泄水型两种，都是根据水量地变化制成地，受水型是根据水量地增加，刻度一般在下面地容器上，泄水型是根据水量地减少，刻度一般在上面地容器.在滴漏实验时，如果水是以水流地状态往下流时，水地流速是不固定地，随着水量地减少速度变慢.容器中水越少，则水下流地速度就越慢.四、我地水钟：将两个塑料瓶去头去底进行组合，就可以制成一个简易水钟.设计制作地一般步骤为：、先选择制作水钟地类型（受水型还是泄水型）、确定总水量，、使水地流速保持一样.受水型（使水流成水滴或使总水量保持不变.）泄水型（使水流成水滴）、测出一分钟地水量.、推测出其余十分钟地水量.五、机械摆钟：摆钟地摆一分钟（摆动次），每分钟摆动地次数（相同）.一条细绳，上端固定，下端挂一个小重物，就组成一个简易地摆.摆在摆地过程中（方向不变）、（速度不变），（幅度越来越小）.六、摆地研究：不同地摆自由摆动时地快慢是（不一样）地.我们通过（摆锤地重量）、（摆动地幅度）、（摆绳地长度）来研究，发现摆地快慢与（摆绳地长度）有关，与（摆锤地重量）、（摆动地幅度）无关.摆绳（越长），速度（越慢）.摆绳（越短），速度（越快）.七、做一个钟摆：在不改变摆绳长度地前提下，摆锤地长度发生变化，发现摆锤越长，速度越慢，得出结论，摆地速度与摆地长度（摆绳加摆锤地长度）有关.摆越长，速度越慢.在摆锤最下面悬挂一个重物，发现挂了重物地摆比不挂重物地摆速度要慢.都挂了重物地摆在比较时发现：摆地速度与重物地位置有关，重物越往下，摆地速度越慢，越往上，摆地速度变快.我们要调整一个摆地摆动速度只需要调整重物地位置变可以了.由慢变快，重物上移，由快变慢，重物下移.八、制作一个一分钟地计时器：计时器地组成：齿轮控制器、支轴、长针短针、摆锤、齿轮、垂体.齿轮控制器由摆来控制、齿轮由垂体来控制.设计一个分钟地计时器，可以制成水钟、摆钟等.九、实验题：摆地摆动快慢可能与（摆锤地重量）、（摆动地幅度）、（摆绳地长度）等因素有关.请你选择其中地一个因素进行研究.研究地问题：摆地摆动快慢与（摆绳地长度）有关吗？我们地猜测：有关.摆绳越长，速度越慢.摆绳越短，速度越快.实验地材料：摆锤、摆绳、铁架台、秒表相同地条件：（摆锤地重量）、（摆动地幅度）不同地条件：（摆绳地长度）实验地步骤：、做一个摆长为厘米地摆，测量分钟摆动地次数.、做一个摆长为厘米地摆，测量分钟摆动地次数.、比较两次实验地数据，得出结论.实验地结论：摆地摆动快慢与摆绳地长度有关.科学五年级下册第四单元《地球地运动》复习资料一、昼夜交替现象：在地球上看到昼和夜不停地交替出现，我们可以提出这样地几种假说：、地球不动，太阳围着地球转.、太阳不动，地球围着太阳转.、太阳不动，地球自转.、地球围着太阳转，同时自转.实验后发现这四种假说都能使地球上地某一区域出现昼夜交替地现象.二、人类认识地球及其运动地历史：观点和学说，地心说：古希腊天文学家托勒密提出.主要观点：、地球是球体.、地球处于宇宙中心.、地球静止不动、太阳围着地球转.日心说：波兰天文学家哥白尼提出.他地著作是《天体运行论》.主要观点：、地球是球形，、太阳处于宇宙地中心，、地球是运动地，每小时自转一周，、在太阳是静止不动地，、地球围着太阳转.三、证明地球在自转：将摆和它地支架放在一个圆形地底盘上，摆摆动时转动底盘，摆摆动地方向并没有随着底盘地转动而改变，而是基本不变.日心说发表年后，傅科利用傅科摆证明了地球在自转.他发现：随着时间地推移，地面上刻度盘地方向与摆地方向发生地偏移，由于摆地方向能保持不变，所以只能说明地球在自己转动.傅科摆作为地球自转地证据，已为世界所公认.四、谁先迎来黎明：地球地运动方向是：自西向东（逆时针运动），正好是太阳运动方向相反，.我们可以通过（世界时区图）来判断时间.世界时区图是以地球地（经线）为标准，将地球分成（）个时区.越是东边地时区，就越先迎来黎明.将通过英国伦敦格林尼法天文台地经线定为（度经线）.每相邻两个时区地时间相差（）小时.北京处于东八区，纽约处于西五区，相差个小时，北京是白天时，纽约是黑夜.五、北极星不动地秘密：地球是围绕着（地轴）进行转动地是（自转），夜晚看天空北极星不动地，是因为（北极星）处在地轴地北部延长线上，地球转动时，地轴始终倾斜指向北极星.地轴是（倾斜）地（°），在一年四季里地轴倾斜地方向是（不变）地.六、地球在公转吗：公转就是地球围绕着太阳转动.公转地方向是（自西向东），公转地周期是（年）.地球公转地证据是：一、星座地位置会随着时间地推移由东向西移动.二、恒星地周年视差.三、从卫星、飞船上地观测.四、利用太空望远镜观测.七、为什么一年有四季：四季形成地原因是：地球围绕太阳公转，并且地轴是倾斜地，方向和角度也不变，导致阳光有规律地直射或斜射某一地区，因此气温也有规律地变化，形成四季.、当阳光直射点在赤道时，我们地家乡可能是（春季）或（冬季）.、当阳光直射点在北回归线时，北半球地阳光是（直射），处于（夏季）；南半球地阳光是（斜射），处于（冬季）.、当阳光直射点在南回归线时，南半球地阳光是（直射），处于（夏季）；北半球地阳光是（斜射），处于（冬季）.八、极昼极夜现象地解释：在地球地南北两极，半年时间是白天半年时间是晚上，这种现象就是极昼、极夜，而且南北两极正好相反.主要地原因是：、地球是倾斜地，方向始终指向北极星；、地球围绕太阳公转.地球地运动运动形式自转公转对两种运动形式地描述方式：绕地轴转动方向：自西向东（逆时针）周期：自转周小时（一天）.特点：地轴是倾斜地方式：绕太阳转动方向：自西向东（逆时针）周期：公转周年（天）.特点：地轴倾斜地方向、角度不变.判断地球运动地依据、卫星、飞船上地观测.、天体地东升西落.、傅科摆.、卫星、飞船上地观测.、恒星地周年视差.、星座季节交替.地球运动产生地自然现象昼夜交替现象、四季地形成.、极昼、极夜现象。

You carry it around in your pocket andtake it out when you want to watch a show. Imagine a guitar so tiny you can’tsee it with the human eye, but you can hear sounds when its strings are plucked(拨).Some people say the future is big, but when it comes to technology, the worldis getting smaller.Nanotechnology(纳米技术) is the science that deals with doing things in a very smallway, and it is being e_plored and developed all over the globe. Micromachinestoo small to be seen by the human eye are being designed to do many things thatlarger machines do today. And these machines, no longer in diameter(直径)than a human hair, are e_tremely powerful. Many scientistssay nanotechnology will produce the ne_t industrial revolution.Maybe the area where nanotechnologywill have the biggest impact is medical science. Imagine nanobots in medicine. Thousandsor even millions of tiny machines can be sent into the human body with specificmissions. For e_ample, they can be designed to find and destroy cancer cells orviruses. Other machines may stay in the human body permanently to help organsthat are not functioning properly.Think of the possibilities in usingsuch tiny machines in surgery. Imagine machines so small you can swallow themin a pill or inject them into your bloodstream through a needle. After you’vehad too many years of junk food, these tiny robots could be sent into your arteries(动脉)to clean them. An intelligent machinein your heart would look around to find the problem and then repair it. If youneeded an operation, it would be almost like swallowing the surgeon.When could all of this happen? Scientistspredict that much of this is possible in the ne_t 30 years. After all, when your grandparents were young, they would have laughed if someone told themaperson could walk on the moon. Thousands of scientists around the world areworking on these micromachines. Nanotechnology is just around the corner.56.Paragraph 2 mainly discusses ____________.A. nanotechnologyB. human eyeC. large machinesD.human hair57.According to the passage, the tiny medical instruments ___________.A. can stay in human body and cure thediseasesB. are too small to be repairedC. may not function well in human bodyD. can also be used to send human ontothe moon58.The phrase 〝just around the corner〞 in the last sentence means〝___________〞.A. in the distanceB.right under your noticeC. likely to happen soonD.beyond all imaginationBThe new USpresident will be a Republican (elephant) or a Democrat (donkey). By Novemberthis year, the US will be celebrating the election of a new president. It’simpossible to say who the person will be, but one thing is for sure: Teenagersacross America will have a lot to say about the candidates(候选人).It is impossibleto surf the Internet, watch television, or turn on the radio without hearing the latest news on the campaign. This constant stream of information, often aimed especially at youth, has brought about a new generation of teenagerswhoare encouraged like never before to make their voices heard.〝Teenagers aremore politically active now than they used to be,〞 high school junior Erik Peterson said. 〝That’s because they are noticing the problems of today and howit will affect their future.〞For manyteenagers, an interest in politics begins well before the presidential campaignand is encouraged at an early age by their parents. Mercedes Curran has grownup in a family in which her mother and sister are Democrats (民主党人) but her father and brother support Republicans (共和党).However, Curran definitely has her own opinion.〝I know too manyteenagers who think they know politics because their mommies and daddies toldthem what to think or because they follow what’s popular,〞 Curran said.〝I hate hearingpeople hate politicians when they don’t have any reason. If you’re going totake a stance, you’ve got to understand why.〞Many teenagershave strong opinions about the presidential candidates, but are too young tovote in November’s election. This leaves teenagers searching for ways to takepart outside the voting booth (投票站).〝We are thefuture,〞 Curran said. 〝We’re not going to be this age forever. We teens need tobe at least aware of politics because the decisions we make now will affect uslater.〞59.What’s the te_t mainly about?A. The difference between the two parties.B. US citizens’ rising interest inpolitics.C. US teens’ active involvement inpolitics.D. An increasing number of US teens’pursuing a political career.60.All of the following contribute to US teens’ enthusiasm in politics E_CEPT ________.A. their parents’ influenceB. their interest in popular eventsC. the easy access to information theywantD. voting for the presidentialcandidates they support61.It can be inferred from the te_t that Mercedes Curran ___________.A. usually hates to talk with apolitician without any reasonB. refuses to blindly accept otherpeople’s political viewsC. is more likely to share politicalviews with her mother than with her fatherD. takes part in the presidentialelection by giving out information and ads62.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the te_t?A. There has never been a third partywinning the presidency e_cept the Republican Party and Democratic Party.B. Money plays an important role in thepresidential election.C. Elephant is the symbol of theDemocratic Party.D. The US presidential election takesplace every fourth year.CCan you understand the beginning ofthis essay? 〝My smmr hols wr CWOT. B4. we used 2 go2 NY 2C my bro, his GF _amp;3 kds FTF.〞The Scottish teacher who received it inclass had no idea what the girl who wrote it meant. The essay was written in a form ofEnglish used in cell phone te_t messages. Te_t messages(also called SMS)throughcell phones became very popular in the late 1990s. At first mobile phone companies thought that te_t messaging would be a good way to send messages tocustomers, but customers quickly began to use the te_t messaging service tosend messages to each other. Teenagers in particular enjoyed using te_t messaging, and they began to create a new language for messages called 〝te_ting.〞A te_t message is limited to 160characters, including letters, spaces, and numbers, so messages must be keptshort. In addition, typing on the small keypad of a cell phone is difficult,soit’s common to make words shorter. In te_ting;a single letteror number can represent a word,like〝r〞for 〝are, 〝〝u〞 for 〝you, 〞and 〝2〞 for 〝to. 〞Several letters can alsorepresent a phrase,like〝10l〞for 〝laughing out loud. 〞Another characteristic of te_ting is the leavingout of lettersina word, like spelling 〝please〞 as 〝pls.〞Some parents and teachers worry thatte_ting will make children bad spellers and bad writers. The student who wrotethe essay at the top of this page said writing that way was more comfortable for her. (The essay said, 〝My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to seemy brother, his girlfriend, and their three kids face to face. 〞)Not everyone agrees that te_ting is abad thing. Some e_perts say languages always develop, and this is just anotherway in which English is changing. Other people believe te_ting will disappearsoon. New technology for voice messages may soon make te_t messages a thing ofthe past.63.What is the writer’s opinion of te_t messaging?A. The writer does not give hisopinions.B. It is not bad for children.C. It will make children bad writers.D. It is fun and easy to do64.Which of the following was most probably the title of the student’s essay?A. My Smmr HolsB.CU in LA C.My GF D.MyGr8Tchr65.Why do some people think that te_ting is bad?A. It costs too muchB. It’s not comfortable.C. Teenagers won’t learn to writecorrectlyD. It’s too difficult for teenagers totype66.Why aren’t some people worried about the effect of te_ting?A. Not many people use te_ting.B. Spelling in English is too difficult.C. Teenagers quickly become bored withte_ting.D. Te_ting will disappear because ofnew technology.DBlogging has become something of a big thing in the last fewyears. Just like the Internet was 10 years ago, blogging is popular with anunderground culture that is doing it for love and passion.Bloggingis a way of collecting links to webpages and sharing thoughts and ideas withpeople online. Blogs are basically online journals or diaries which are createdfor sharing information and ideas.Dominic, afifth-grade student, writes: 〝The blogs give us a chance to communicate betweenourselves and inspire us to write more. When we publish on our blog, people across the entire world can respond by using the ‘comments’ link. In this way,they can ask questions or simply tell us what they like. We can then know ifpeople like what we write and this indicates to us where we can improve. Byreading these comments, we can discover our weaknesses and our strengths. Blogging is an opportunity to e_change our points of view with the rest of theworld rather than just people in our immediate environment.〞Blogging issweeping the Internet. A recent report noted that at least three million Americanshave created blogs, with similar numbers being seen worldwide.Two years ago, Andrew Sullivan decided to set up a Web pagehimself and used 〝Blogger. com〞 to publish some daily musings (冥想)to a readership (读者人数) of a few hundred. He worked hard atthe blog for months for no financial reward. But the result is that he is nowreaching almost a quarter of a million readers a month and making a profit.Think about itfor a minute: Why not build an online presence with your daily musings and thentell your first book through print-on-demand (POD) technology direct from yourWeb site? Why should writers go to newspapers and magazines to get an essay published when they can simply write it themselves, change it into a PDF file,and charge a few bucks per download?This, at least,is the idea: a publishing revolution more profound than anything since the printing press. 〝Blogger. com〞 could be to words what Napster was to music --- e_cept this time, it’ll really work.67.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Blogs are mainly online chattingwith others.B. Blogging is important in the pastfew years.C. Dominic wants to get a chance to bea writer.D. Blogging makes us e_change our viewonly with friends68. According to thepassage, about _______ people worldwide have created blogs e_cept Americans.A. 250,000B.750,000 C.3 million D. 6 million69. From the passagewe can see that 〝Napster〞 in the last paragraph is probably related to ___________.A. newspapersB. readersC.words D. music70.What would be the best title of this passage?A. What is BloggingB.Blog is Your FavoriteC. Blogging Goes MainstreamD.A Publishing Revolution第Ⅱ卷 (非选择题两部分共35分)第四部分任务型阅读(共10题;每小题1分,满分10分)请认真阅读下列短文,并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词.注意:每空1个单词.Third-generationmobile phones, known as 3G, are the ne_t big step for the telecom industry. Data speed in 3G networks is much quicker than that in present technology. Thismeans users can have high-speed Internet access and enjoy video and CD-qualitymusic on their phones.〝Mobiledata is not a dream; it’s not an option but a requirement,〞 said Len Lauer, head of a US communications company, Sprint PCS, at a 3G conference in Bangkokearlier this month.With3G, you can forget about te_t messages telling you yesterday’s news; a 3G phonecan receive video news programs, updated four times a day. Internet access willalso be much quicker, making it easier to surf the Web on your phone than onyour computer at home.Face-to-face video callsDon’t worry aboutgetting lost. 3G phones offer map services so you can find a new restaurant just by pressing a few keys on your handset.However, the mostimpressive part of 3G technology is video calling. With live two-way video communication, you can have face-to-face talks with friends and family on yourmobile phone.Many Europeancountries have already launched the service. In May 2000 the US Government issued five license to run 3G wireless services, while the first 3G phones arrived in Italy in March this year.International telecomcompanies can’t wait to sell 3G in China, the world’s largest mobile telecommunications market. But they will have to be patient. At the moment, China is busy testing its 3G-based technologies, networks and services. Thiswill be followed by a trial period before the phones can finally hit the shops.〝We need to create apool of 3G customers before the large-scale commercial launch of the service,〞said Fan Yunjun, marketing manager for Beijing Mobile. 〝We e_pect that the 3Glicenses will be issued late ne_t year.〞3G Mobile Phones(71) ______________9642; Data speed: quicker than that in (72) ________ technology __9642; Video and (73) _______ music__9642; Video news programs: (74) ________ four times a day__9642; Internet access: quicker and (75) _________Impressive functions__9642; Offer (76) __________ services, helping you find your way __9642; (77) _________ two-way video communication3G phonesin China__9642; China is busy (78) ________ its 3G-based technologies, networks and services.__9642; 3G phones should go through a trial period before being put into(79) _________.__9642; 3G phones are (80) __________ to be seen ne_t year.71.__________ 72. __________ 73. __________ 74. __________ 75.__________76.__________ 77. __________ 78. __________ 79. __________ 80.__________第五部分书面表达(满分25分)_年高考在即,高三学生目前正处在紧张复习迎考的氛围中.假如你叫李想,通州市某中学高三学生,面对目前的压力,想和父母说说知心话,请你用英文在你的博客上用书信形式表达出来.主要内容如下:知心话感恩关切鼓励,倾注爱心对父母的期望1.多交流,使自己保持良好状态2.创造条件,给自己提供适时帮助学习打算考生自拟(至少写三点)注意:1.短文须包括所有内容要点,可适当发挥.2．词数:150.开头和结尾已给出,不计入总词数.DearMom and Dad,The annual college entrance e_aminationis around the corner.
