While I was thinking about what to do, I noticed a man who was in his garden. Next to him was a long hose he used to water the plants.I ran quickly over to the man, grabbed the hose, and pointed it up at the cat. The powerful jet of water knocked it out of the tree and into the arms of the surprised children below. The cat was soaking wet but unharmed. I got back to the station that day with a huge smile on my face. “ It’s great that my job isn’t just about fighting crime!”Samantha Greene:“It was my first week in the department store in town.

This was followed in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries by changes in industry as factories started to use newly invented machines. These two periods in British history were important and are known as the Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions. They were times of great economic and technical progress which also resulted in some huge changes in society, one of which was a rise in crime.Farms could produce more with fewer workers, so people from the countryside moved into the cities to look for work in factories. However, there were not enough jobs for all those who wanted them. As urban populations increased, unemployment, overcrowding and poverty became widespread. As a result of their struggle to survive, many people became criminals. The crime rate rose rapidly, and by 1840 it was higher than ever before.The most common crimes were theft by pick pocketing or housebreaking, even though the punishment was extreme. Many criminals were sent to America or Australia, or found themselves living in terrible conditions in overcrowded and dirty prisons. In fact, until 1823 a person could even be put to death for stealing a piece of bread or picking a pocket. History books present the facts, but fiction that was written at the time also tells us what daily life was really like. Wilkie Collin’s The Moonstone shows how wealthy people lived, and other writers provided information about different sections of society. For example, Charles Dickens’novel A Chrismas Carol explains the great difference that existed between the lifestyle of rich people and those who were poor.66.The Industrial Revolution occurred in _____A.the 18th centuryB.the 19th centuryC.the 18th and 19th centuryD.184067.Crime increased because _______A.people could not find jobsB.people did not want to work in factoriesC.farm employed more workersD.criminals moved from the countryside to the city68.Prisons often______A.had their pockets pickedB.had their bread stolenC.escaped to AustraliaD.had little space to live in69.A suitable title for the passage would be “_______ in the 19th century”A.How criminals livedB.The Agricultural and Industrial RevolutionC.The increase of crime in citiesD.Understanding social change and crime70.The writer mentioned Wilkie Collins and Charles Dickens with their novels in order to show that ______A.novels tell you more details about historyB.Wilkie Collins and Charles Dickens were great writers between the 18th and 19th centuriesC.in history, Britain experienced some social problems as industry developed.D.Industrial development created some very rich people.CRead the following passage. Put A to E back into the passage according to the context.How are Oxford in the UK and Grenoble in France similar?Well, they are both medium-sized towns of between 1000,000 and 200,000 inhabitants.__71____. Tourism is also important to both of them, and they are both close to some of the most beautiful countryside in the region._72__: they have a town twinning agreement.____73___ , but it has become more popular in recent years.

There is usually a big party for the visitors.____75__ . living with a foreign family for one or two weeks, you have to speak their languages, and as a result you improve fast.DRead the passage and complete the chart below.Great European CitiesEurope is blessed with a number of cities which shape modern society in the aspect of either culture or art. Athens, the capital of Greece, is known as the bir thplace of western civilization. 2400 years ago, it was the world’s most powerful city. Buildings such as the Parthenon on the Acropolis Hill were built during this period. Greece’s best writers lived in ancient Athens. Their work has influenced other writers ever since. Paris, the capital and largest city of France is on the River Seine and is one of the most beautiful cities in the world and is visited by more than eight million tourists every year. The most popular place for tourists is the Eiffel Tower, the famous symbol of Paris. One of the world’s largest art galleries, the Louvre, is also in Paris. The city is also famous for its restaurants, cafes and theatres. About two thirds of France’s artists and writers live in Paris. Florence is another one wh ich should not be forgotten. This Italian city becamefamous because of the Renaissance, a great artistic movement which began in the 1300s and lasted for three hundred years. During the Renaissance, some of the greatest painters of all time lived and worked in Florence. Many of Florence’s most beautiful paintings and sculptures were produced by great artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo.

While I was thinking about what to do, I noticed a man who was in his garden. Next to him was a long hose he used to water the plants.I ran quickly over to the man, grabbed the hose, and pointed it up at the cat. The powerful jet of water knocked it out of the tree and into the arms of the surprised children below. The cat was soaking wet but unharmed.

This was followed in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries by changes in industry as factories started to use newly invented machines. These two periods in British history were important and are known as the Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions. They were times of great economic and technical progress which also resulted in some huge changes in society, one of which was a rise in crime.Farms could produce more with fewer workers, so people from the countryside moved into the cities to look for work in factories. However, there were not enough jobs for all those who wanted them. As urban populations increased, unemployment, overcrowding and poverty became widespread. As a result of their struggle to survive, many people became criminals. The crime rate rose rapidly, and by 1840 it was higher than ever before.The most common crimes were theft by pick pocketing or housebreaking, even though the punishment was extreme. Many criminals were sent to America or Australia, or found themselvesliving in terrible conditions in overcrowded and dirty prisons. In fact, until 1823 a person could even be put to death for stealing a piece of bread or picking a pocket.History books present the facts, but fiction that was written at the time also tells us what daily life was really like. Wilkie Collin’s The Moonstone shows how wealthy people lived, and other writers provided information about different sections of society. For example, Charles Dickens’novel A Chris他mas Carol explains the great difference that existed between the lifestyle of rich people and those who were poor.66.The Industrial Revolution occurred in _____A.the 18th centuryB.the 19th centuryC.the 18th and 19th centuryD.184067.Crime increased because _______A.people could not find jobsB.people did not want to work in factoriesC.farm employed more workersD.criminals moved from the countryside to the city68.Prisons often______A.had their pockets pickedB.had their bread stolenC.escaped to AustraliaD.had little space to live in69.A suitable title for the passage would be “_______ in the 19th century”A.How criminals livedB.The Agricultural and Industrial RevolutionC.The increase of crime in citiesD.Understanding social change and crime70.The writer mentioned Wilkie Collins and Charles Dickens with their novels in order to show that ______A.novels tell you more details about historyB.Wilkie Collins and Charles Dickens were great writers between the 18th and 19th centuriesC.in history, Britain experienced some social problems as industry developed.D.Industrial development created some very rich people.CRead the following passage.

Reading comprehensionAMany people go to school for an education. They learn languages, history, geography, physics, chemistry and mathematics. Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living. School education is very important and useful. Yet no one can learn everything from school. A teacher, no matter how much he knows cannot teach his students everything they want to know. The teacher’s job is to show his students how to learn. Heteaches them how to read and how to think. So much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.It is always more important to study by oneself that to memorize some facts or a formula (公式). It is2actually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in math. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a math problem. Great scientists, such as Einstein, Newton and Galileo didn’t get everything fromschool. But they were all so successful. They invented so manythings for mankind. The reason for their success is that they worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. They would ask many questions as they read and they did thousands of experiments.Above all, they knew how to use their brains.1. The subject which is not spoken of in the article is _________.A. mathB. historyC. physiologyD. physics2. The teacher’s job is to reach __________.A. everything the students want to knowB. the students everything that they knowC. the students some facts of formulasD. the students how to learn3. Einstein, Newton and Galileo did so many things for mankind because __________.A. they learned a lot at schoolB. they knew how to learn new things outside class by themselvesC. they were so usefulD. they went to college and learned from professors4. From the passage we know that if we want to be successful, we should ___________.A. only learn more at schoolB. needn’t go to schoolC. only learn science subjectsD. learn to learn at school and learn more outside schoolBFrance has been one of the main pioneers of many forms of artistic expression throughout its history. France and art are strongly connected with each other, and it would not be possible to think of world art without thinking of France.The importance of art in France can be easily seen by the great number of museums and art exhibitions throughout the country. They include the Musee du Louvre, which is one of the greatest museums of the world. There is also the Musee du Moyen Age in this list, which exhibits medieval artworks, and the Centre Pompidou, exhibiting art from the twentieth century. Among other important museums and exhibitions are the Musee d’Orsay,where visitors can observe a collection of French art from the 20th century, and the Musee Picasso, which exhibits amazing artworks fromthis outstanding artist. The Musee Rodin is another great place to visit in order to enjoy French art and to observe some amazing sculptures from this artist.The relation between France and art can be traced back to as long ago as the Stone Age. Many artworks dating from this period have been found in France and provide unique information about the culture and art of the world. In France, each time was strongly connected with art andhad its own art expression forms and characteristics, and they were closely connected with French history and culture.36. We can learn from the first paragraph that _____________.A. France is famous for its artB. France has the greatest museum of the worldC. French art plays an important role in world artD. France has the largest number of famous artists37. How many museums are mentioned in the passage in total?A.4.B.5.C.6.D.7.38. If you want to observe some amazing sculptures, which of the following places should you visit?A. The Musee d'Orsay.B. The Musee du Moyen Age.C. The Centre Pompidou.D. The Mus6e Rodin.39. It is implied in the last paragraph that _____________.A. France has the longest history of art in the world3B. artworks from the Stone Age are the most valuableC. French people now don't think art is important in their livesD. in France different periods of time have different styles of art40. In which section of a newspaper would you most probably readthis passage?A. Business.B. Education.C. Art.D. GeographyCIf there is one thing I'm sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. Now some people get mostof their news from television or radio. Many buy a newspaper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives-the big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific researches, though. It's already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic engineering. In the future, I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do-as we develop abetter understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.It's quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted (传递) electronically from FleetStreet and printed out in our own homes. In fact, I'm pretty surehow it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read----sports and international news, etc.I think people have got it wrong when they talk about thecompetition among the different media. They actually feed off each other. It was once predicted that television would kill off newspapers, butthat hasn't happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer thanpictures on a screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet,it's never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.41. What is the best title for the passage?A. The Best Way to Get NewsB. The Changes of MediaC. Make Your Own NewspapersD. The Future of Newspapers42. In the writer's opinion, in the future, ______________.A. more big political affairs, wars and disasters will make newsB. newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longerC. newspapers will cover more scientific researchesD. more and more people will watch TV43. What will probably be on in the newspaper made by yourself?A. Sports and international news.B. A menu of important news.C. The most important news.D. What you are interested in.44. From the passage, we can infer ______________.A. newspapers will win the competition among the different mediaB. newspapers will stay with us together with other mediaC. television will take the place of newspaperD. the writer believes some media will die out45. The phrase "feed off" in the last paragraph means ______________.A. supportB. divideC. separateD. break up4。

He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire .Soon the pots began to boil. In one he placed carrots, in the second he placed eggs, and in the last he placed coffee beans. He let them sit and boil for a while.In about twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in another bowl. Then he ladled the coffee out and placed it in a cup. Turning to her he asked," Darling, what do you see?""Carrots, eggs, and coffee." she replied.He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noticed that they weresoft .He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell ,she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. She smiled, as she liked its taste."What does it mean, Father?" she humbly asked.He explained that each of them had faced the same adversity, boiling water, but each acted differently. The carrots became softened and weak. The eggs’ inside became hardened. The coffee beans had changed the water ."Which one are you?" he asked his daughter.When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?61.Which is true according to the passage?A.The daughter was not happy with her life.B.The daughter wanted her father to solve all her problems.C.The father was cooking when his daughter complained.D.The father didn’t understand his daughter.62.Which is the right order of what happened in the kitchen?a.placed carrots, eggs, and coffee beans in the different pots.b.checked the things cooked in the potsc.filled three pots with waterd.turned off the burnerse.boiled the things in the potsA.c,a,e,d,bB.a,e,c,d,bC.c,e,a,b,dD.a,e,c,b,d63.Why did the father take his daughter to the kitchen?A.to help him with cookingB.to change her view about lifeC.to teach her to cook with potsD.to show her different foods react differently in boiling water.64.In the father’s opinion, ______________.A.his daughter learn from the carrotsB.it’s better for one to act like the boiled eggsC.one should act like coffee beans to change lifeD.we should choose how to react to what happens in life65.What is the best title for this passage?A.Which one are you?B.How to act differently?C.A cooking story?D.Father and daughterBThe other d ay, my wife, two teenage children and I did something we hadn’t done for ages. It didn’t require access to the Internet, a TV screen, batteries---or anything else for that matter. But we all enjoyed it very much and we are thinking ofdoing again some time.We had a conversation. The kind of real, live stimulating conversation that was common when I was growing up, but which seems all too rare these days. Today we have chat rooms, text messages, e-mailing---but we seem to be losing the art of communicating face to face. We all know when young people are out on a date these days, they appear to spend most of their time answering their mobile. And teenagers nowadays seem to prefer catching up with their friends by texting rather than actually speaking to them.If we carry on like this, by the year 3000 we’ll all be living in our own separate little high-tech bubbles, it seems to me. We’ll have lost the use of our voices---apart from singing along tunelessly to karaoke music---and we will be communicating only via our thumbs, which will be the size that our arms are now.Am I exaggerating? What do you think? E-mail me, and who knows? Maybe we could even have a real conversation about it!66.What does the underlined word “It” in the first paragraph refer to?A.e-mailing friendsB.having a face-to-face conversationC.surfing the InternetD.watching TV67.According to the writer, what is the sign that young people are out on a date?A.They spend most of the time surfing the Internet.B.They put themselves into piles of e-mails.C.They are busy answering the mobileD.They are singing to karaoke music.68.By which means do most teenagers keep in touch withtheir friends?A.Speaking to each otherB.Phone callsC. E-mailsD.Text-messages69.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.Conversation should not disappear in our life, although there are advances in technology.B.It is unavoidable that hi-tech products have replaced older forms of communication, like conversation.C.We enj oy conversation because it’s rare nowadays.D.Human beings will have lost the use of their voices by the year 300070.By saying “we will be communicating only via our thumbs, which will be the size that our arms are now.”, the writer______.A.predicts the appearance of future human beings of a new kind.B.encourages us to continue our present lifestyleC.indicates that our thumbs are more useful than arms.D.suggests that we are paying no attention to real conversationCEven the newest gardener realizes that plants die without water; what is not so well known is that plants die equally decisively, though not so quickly, if they are over-watered(浇水过多). Beginners usually decide to play it safe and keep their potted(盆栽的) plants thoroughly wet. In consequence, death by drowning is one of the commonest disasters to befall (降临)theplants of a new horticulturist. Plants wither (枯萎)away if they don't get enough water, and this draws attention to their problem.A plant that has been slightly under-watered so that it droops (bends downwards) strikes terror into the heart of its new owner. But it will, in fact, recover completely as long as rescue comes in time and the process is not repeated too often. Over-watered plants, unfortunately, do not give any such obvious signal; slowly they cease to thrive and the first visible indication of serious trouble is a yellowing of the lower leaves. Unless the over-watered pot soil is given a considerable period without water, during which time the plant will continue to look wretched, it will suddenly collapse in exactly the same way as the under-watered plant―but with no chance of being revived because the roots have rotted away.71.From the text we can infer a horticulturist is a person whose job is _____.A. growing plantsB. cutting plantsC. selling plantsD. studying the death cause of plants72. What does a new gardener usually decide to do to keep their potted plants alive?A. Underwater the plants.B. Put the plants in the sunC. Overwater the plants.D.Loosen the pot soil.73.A withered plant might be rescued because _____.A.it can recover by itself soonB.it doesn’t need much waterC.it gives a visible signal of dyingD.it dies much more slowly74.What’s the purpose of this text?A.To warn gardener not underwater or overwater plants.B.To give information about general problem of gardeningC.To draw attention to the problem of over-watered plantsD.To recommend to new gardeners a good way of gardening75.Where is probably the text taken from?A.From a handbook of gardeningB.From a plant magazineC.From a scientific research reportD.From a biology textbookPart BI.Fill in the blanks with the proper form of the words given.(15 marks)1.I like pears, because they are _____1____(juice) than bananas.2.Right now, our school provides a lot of ______2____(option) courses from which the students can choose according to their own interests.3.The boy ____3____(dress) up as a bear in the park is in fact a college student who does a part-time job to entertain children during the weekend.4.There is a greater ____4____(possible) for the smokers to end up with a lung cancer.

If the same two people meet again, even years later, they pick up the friendship. This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand. Friendships between us develop more slowly but may become lifelong feelings, extending（延伸）deeply into both families. There is another difficult point for us to understand .Although Americans treat friends warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to them if it requires a great deal of time. But in China, we are usually generous with our time. We, as hosts, will appear at an airport even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take days off from our work to act as guides to our friends: It is opposite in America, Americans can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily plans. They will probably expect the visitors to get themselves from the airport to the hotels. And they expect the visitors will phone them from there. Once the visitors arrive at their homes ,the welcome will be full, warm and real.For Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to restaurants, except for business matters. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. So accept their hospitality（好客）at home and enjoy your visit in America!( )42.The underlined phrase “pick up” in Paragraph 1 may mean “_______”.A. keep outB. give upC. pay no attention toD. continue( )43.Which of the following is the typical way of American hospitality?A.

American visitors to ChinadabcBThere are many ways to find a job. It can be as easy as walking into a neighborhood store to look at its announcement board. Local stores often have areas where people can put small signs telling what kind of service they need or can provide. Such services include caring for children or cleaning houses.Besides, job searchers can look in the newspaper. Local newspapers have employment announcements placed by companies seeking workers.Another popular tool for finding jobs is the Internet. For example, people in four hundred and fifty cities around the world can use the Craigslist Web site to buy objects, meet people or find a job. Craigslist says that it receives two million new job listings each month.Another useful way to find a job is through a college or university. For example, students at the University of Texas in Austin can go to the Career Exploration Center to get help in finding a job. Of course, looking for a job requires knowing what kind of work you want to do. For example, there is a book called “What Color is Your Parachute ?” by Richard Bolles. This book has been helping people choose a career since it was first published in nineteen seventy.Some experts also help people find jobs. Susan W. Miller owns a company called California Career Services in Los Angeles. She says her company helps people find jobs by first helping them understand their strengths, goals and interests. Then she provides them with methods and resources to help them find the right job.26. What is the passage mainly about?A. College students’ part-time jobs.B. Finding a job.C. Craigslist Web site.D.

How many ways of finding a job are mentioned in the passage?A. Four.B. Five.C. Six.D. Seven.CScientists have tried to come up with biological explanations for the difference between boys and girls However, none were believable enough to explain the general picture. As one scientist points out, "There are slight genetic(遗传的) differences between the sexes at birth which may affect the subjects boys and girls choose. But the difficulty is that by the time children reach school age, there are so many other effects that it is almost impossible to tell whether girls are worse at science and maths, or whether they've been brought up to think of these subjects as boys'' territory". Statistics(统计数据) show that in mathematics, at least, girls are equal to boys. A recent reportsuggests that girls only stop studying mathematics because of social attitudes. One of the reports' authorssays, "While it is socially unacceptable for people not to be able to read and write, it is still acceptable for women to say that they are 'hope-less' at maths. Our research shows that, although girls get marks which are as good as the boys', they have not been encouraged to do so."The explanation for the difference, which is very clear during the teenage years, goes as far back as early childhood experiences. From their first days in nursery school, girls are not encouraged to work on their own or to complete tasks, although boys are. For example, boys but not girls, are often asked to 'help' with repair work. This encouragement leads to a way of learning how to solve problems later on in life. Evidence shows that exceptional mathematicians and scientists did not have teachers who supplied answers; they had to find out for themselves.A further report on maths teaching shows that teachers seem to give more attention to boys than to girls. Most teachers who took part in the study admitted that they expect their male students to do better at mathematics and science subjects than their female students. All of this tends to encourage boys to work harder in these subjects, gives them confidence and makes them believe that they can succeed.Interestingly, both boys and girls tend to regard such 'male' subjects like mathematics and science as difficult. Yet it has been suggested that girls avoid mathematics courses, not because they are difficult, but for social reasons.1. The underlined word "territory" in the second paragraph most probably means "________”.A. interestB. area of landC. special fieldD. district2. According to scientific studies,.A. maths is not fit for girls to learnB. boys have a special sense of mathsC. girls are poorer at maths because they are the weaker sexD. girls can learn maths as well as boys if given enough encouragement3. Those who made extraordinary contribution in mathematics and scienceA. usually had good teachers to help themB. had the abilities to solve problems by themselvesC. usually worked harder than othersD. were encouraged to repair things when young4. Which of the following is not true according to the text?A. It seems socially acceptable for a girl not to be able to read and write.B. It is a social problem rather than a problem of brains that girls are poor at mathsC. Mathematics and science are no easy subjects to either girls or boys.D. There is no connection between a girl's ability in maths and her appearance.5. What would be the best title for the text?A. Who's Afraind of Maths Anyway?B. Are Boys Cleverer than Girls?C. Boys Are Better at Maths than Girls by BirthD. Maths-A Difficult SubjectDLaptop computers are popular all over the world .People use them on trains and airplanes ,in airports and hotels .These laptops These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms. Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a ＄10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to "speak" with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees-anywhere at all!Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too.At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, "Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we're giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything."1.

He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire .Soon the pots began to boil. In one he placed carrots, in the second he placed eggs, and in the last he placed coffee beans. He let them sit and boil for a while.In about twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in another bowl.

She did and noticed that they weresoft .He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell ,she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. She smiled, as she liked its taste."What does it mean, Father?" she humbly asked.He explained that each of them had faced the same adversity, boiling water, but each acted differently.

It didn’t require access to the Internet, a TV screen, batteries---or anything else for that matter. But we all enjoyed it very much and we are thinking of doing again some time.We had a conversation. The kind of real, live stimulating conversation that was common when I was growing up, but which seems all too rare these days. Today we have chat rooms, text messages, e-mailing---but we seem to be losing the art of communicating face to face. We all know when young people are out on a date these days, they appear to spend most of their time answering their mobile. And teenagers nowadays seem to prefer catching up with their friends by texting rather than actually speaking to them.If we carry on like this, by the year 3000 we’ll all be living in our own separate little high-tech bubbles, it seems to me. We’ll have lost the use of our voices---apart from singing along tunelessly to karaoke music---and we will be communicating only via our thumbs, which will be the size that our arms are now.Am I exaggerating? What do you think? E-mail me, and who knows? Maybe we could even have a real conversation about it!66.What does the underlined word “It” in the first paragraph refer to?A.e-mailing friendsB.having a face-to-face conversationC.surfing the InternetD.watching TV67.According to the writer, what is the sign that young people are out on a date?A.They spend most of the time surfing the Internet.B.They put themselves into piles of e-mails.C.They are busy answering the mobileD.They are singing to karaoke music.68.By which means do most teenagers keep in touch with their friends?A.Speaking to each otherB.Phone callsC. E-mailsD.Text-messages69.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A.Conversation should not disappear in our life, although there are advances in technology.B.It is unavoidable that hi-tech products have replaced older forms of communication, like conversation.C.We enj oy conversation because it’s rare nowadays.D.Human beings will have lost the use of their voices by the year 300070.By saying “we will be communicating only via our thumbs, which will be the size that our arms are now.”, the writer______.A.predicts the appearance of future human beings of a new kind.B.encourages us to continue our present lifestyleC.indicates that our thumbs are more useful than arms.D.suggests that we are paying no attention to real conversationCEven the newest gardener realizes that plants die without water; what is not so well known is that plants die equally decisively, though not so quickly, if they are over-watered(浇水过多). Beginners usually decide to play it safe and keep their potted(盆栽的) plants thoroughly wet. In consequence, death by drowning is one of the commonest disasters to befall (降临)the plants of a new horticulturist. Plants wither (枯萎)away if they don't get enough water, and this draws attention to their problem. A plant that has been slightly under-watered so that it droops (bends downwards) strikes terror into the heart of its new owner. But it will, in fact, recover completely as long as rescue comes in time and the process is not repeated too often. Over-watered plants, unfortunately, do not give any such obvious signal; slowly they cease to thrive and the first visible indication of serious trouble is a yellowing of the lower leaves. Unless the over-watered pot soil is given a considerable period without water, during which time the plant will continue to look wretched, it will suddenly collapse in exactly the same way as the under-watered plant―but with no chance of being revived because the roots have rotted away.71.From the text we can infer a horticulturist is a person whose job is _____.A. growing plantsB. cutting plantsC. selling plantsD. studying the death cause of plants72. What does a new gardener usually decide to do to keep their potted plants alive?A. Underwater the plants.B. Put the plants in the sunC. Overwater the plants.D.Loosen the pot soil.73.A withered plant might be rescued because _____.A.it can recover by itself soonB.it doesn’t need much waterC.it gives a visible signal of dyingD.it dies much more slowly74.What’s the purpose of this text?A.To warn gardener not underwater or overwater plants.B.To give information about general problem of gardeningC.To draw attention to the problem of over-watered plantsD.To recommend to new gardeners a good way of gardening75.Where is probably the text taken from?A.From a handbook of gardeningB.From a plant magazineC.From a scientific research reportD.From a biology textbookPart BI.Fill in the blanks with the proper form of the words given.(15 marks)1.I like pears, because they are _____1____(juice) than bananas.2.Right now, our school provides a lot of ______2____(option) courses from which the students can choose according to their own interests.3.The boy ____3____(dress) up as a bear in the park is in fact a college student who does a part-time job to entertain children during the weekend.4.There is a greater ____4____(possible) for the smokers to end up with a lung cancer.

This was followed in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries by changes in industry as factories started to use newly invented machines. These two periods in British history were important and are known as the Agricultural and Industrial Revolutions. They were times of great economic and technical progress which also resulted in some huge changes in society, one of which was a rise in crime.Farms could produce more with fewer workers, so people from the countryside moved into the cities to look for work in factories. However, there were not enough jobs for all those who wanted them. As urban populations increased, unemployment, overcrowding and poverty became widespread. As a result of their struggle to survive, many people became criminals. The crime rate rose rapidly, and by 1840 it was higher than ever before.The most common crimes were theft by pick pocketing or housebreaking, even though thepunishment was extreme. Many criminals were sent to America or Australia, or found themselves living in terrible conditions in overcrowded and dirty prisons. In fact, until 1823 a person could even be put to death for stealing a piece of bread or picking a pocket.History books present the facts, but fiction that was written at the time also tells us what daily life was really like. Wilkie Collin’s The Moonstone shows how wealthy people lived, and other writers provided information about different sections of society. For example, Charles Dickens’novel A Chris他mas Carol explains the great difference that existed between the lifestyle of rich people and those who were poor.66.The Industrial Revolution occurred in _____A.the 18th centuryB.the 19th centuryC.the 18th and 19th centuryD.184067.Crime increased because _______A.people could not find jobsB.people did not want to work in factoriesC.farm employed more workersD.criminals moved from the countryside to the city68.Prisons often______A.had their pockets pickedB.had their bread stolenC.escaped to AustraliaD.had little space to live in69.A suitable title for the passage would be “_______ in the 19th century”A.How criminals livedB.The Agricultural and Industrial RevolutionC.The increase of crime in citiesD.Understanding social change and crime70.The writer mentioned Wilkie Collins and Charles Dickens with their novels in order to show that ______A.novels tell you more details about historyB.Wilkie Collins and Charles Dickens were great writers between the 18th and 19th centuriesC.in history, Britain experienced some social problems as industry developed.D.Industrial development created some very rich people.CRead the following passage.
